In s recent memory, there have been only two civilian" review ' boards established. One in Berkeley, California was established in 1973. and, according to supporters there, the board not only gives citizens a clear view into the murky world Of police work, but also helps eliminate frivolous complaints against the police. And in Detroit. Mayor Coleman " Young .in stituted a civilian review board in 1974, and today incidents of suspects be ing shot by police are down- about 60 per cent :from the period before the review board was in stituted. Favorable evidence depicting the value of the boards abound in both Berkeley and in Detroit. Supporters say civilian review boards not only help citizens pursue com plaints against police, " but also make law cn orccment more accoun table to the people they serve, and also improve police , public relations. But most efforts to launch them have, failed in cities like l.os Angeles. New Orleans, " Chicago and Raleigh. : v , In response, police organizations, such as the Fraternal Order of Police, S argue that citizens already have control of law enforce ment through elected of ficials.'. .. And while in theory', this is true, in actual practice, particularly in a Council-manager form of government, citizen con trol Vfalls way short of whaf somc people believe is necessary. : . " A For example, the City Councir hires the city manager' who handles day .to day administra tion of city government, but when it comes ( to police operations , and controversies surroun ding them, few managers go beyond what police chiefs, or in Durham's case; the public safety director, say. And publicity chairman; Mrs. Lyda F. Betts, secretary; Miss Hattie White, assis tant secretary, Mrs. An nie D. Creen, treasurer;. and ' Mrs. Nannie C. Green, chairman of the program and social com mittee. Citizens from Front) , beyond' that, few "city 'councils' TrtNOftK : Carolina or any places else, for that matter, have seriously in vestigated the question of police misconduct. Charges of police misconduct in Durham are handled fairly routinely, and certainly in line with methods ex tant in most cities throughout the country. According to Lt. R.B. Day who heads Durham's internal af fairs division, investiga tions are handled in the following manner: . When the complaint is filed, it is turned over to internal affairs and in vestigated by that divi sion. The reports accor ding to Lt. Day, goes to the Public Safety Chief. The chief can then take whatever action , he deems appropriateup to a . three-day suspension without pay, if the chief decides the complaint, is substantiated. ;- ; If the chief wants to levy a ' stiffer punish ment, he must convene a board of inquiry, This board, composed of five veteran police officers, wilt hear the case in a : trial-like, atmosphere." ac cording to Lt. Day. and after testimony the board can either find the officer guilty or innor, cent. If the board's deci sion is guilty, this authorizes the chief to I levy the stiffer punish- . ment. If the decision is innocent, then while the chief can overrule the decision, he is limited to the three-day suspension without pay as a punish- ment. . Because of his demandina schedule of com mitments.
