The Columbus Department of the Inspector General told the board that the DIG completed its follow-up investigation and closed the case. The DIG report concluded that the officer who knocked and allegedly did not announce himself was exonerated on that allegation, but the DIG added an allegation and sustained misconduct findings against two lead officers for failing to verify the address when they arrived. The DIG said the two lead officers were responsible for ensuring the responding unit confirmed the correct house and did not do so.

Committee members raised concerns that relying on Google Maps without verifying house numbers or mailboxes can create serious safety risks. One committee member referenced recent national litigation where a federal law-enforcement entry to the wrong home, allegedly premised on an incorrect map location, led to serious consequences and a Supreme Court decision rejecting a broad immunity claim; the transcript did not provide a case name.

Committee members proposed a policy recommendation that CPD require verification of a physical address (house number or mailbox) rather than sole reliance on online mapping tools when responding to service calls. Board members discussed procedural constraints: the committee was informed the updated DIG report had been completed but not yet disseminated to the full board, and several members said best practice would be to wait for the DIG's redistributed report before issuing a formal policy recommendation linked to the case. The DIG agreed to forward the updated report and to check CPD policy language on address verification and supply that citation to the committee.

No formal board vote to adopt a CPD policy change occurred at the meeting. The board recorded concurrence that the case was closed by the DIG with the noted sustained finding against the two lead officers; the committee also recorded an intention to await the written DIG report before advancing any formal policy recommendation to the full board.

The board asked the DIG to provide the updated report and to indicate whether existing CPD policy already requires verification of house numbers, mailboxes or other physical markers, and to return the material to the committee for review.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Columbus Civilian Police Review Board Meeting #48","oneSentenceSummary","The Civilian Police Review Board reviewed case 2025-0124, in which DIG investigators sustained misconduct findings against two lead officers for failing to verify an address after responding to the wrong house.","taxTitle","Columbus City Council, Columbus, Franklin County, Ohio","taxId",75950,"location","Ohio","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":44,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":50,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6521079,"Civilian Police Review Board accepts inspector general findings on multiple investigations; one case returned for further review",198,709000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5114303-85396c85d0b0c83a7333648285253f2f&start=511&end=709","/articles/6521079/Ohio/Civilian-Police-Review-Board-accepts-inspector-general-findings-on-multiple-investigations-one-case-returned-for-further-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6521079-f9e466432905867918c8f87804c07fbb/orig.mp4?Expires=1770584810&Signature=C6PAgxP-43~AOyFCVM045O6aUE~l4b9SuwvTKi8Z9Fsbrvu2No5NIPssPTX5vBWCBrhkg71MdnQKo7NucCBJ1XxByc-3Db5RnC51h~OMFUvTAPKgaTNJ6Rl-FCXmILC4F3CiKgRYR4ACevXrxQSxPpablhhNK1uw786yLVWXDK0xf~1wSQt0qVy-DXB7mLdxFRGh8Ug7wU8xn~5ElhAtoheqstFiYc1MsG8mV68fFt0tr80K99e1bz82QZUGB6ao0IO-jz5NN4NppV~bs9S3T0G30DODK1sDXaw6yQJ8eAgqbP4VoC0cu9SElKuyKleuGCZWHp6gKIa9U016hUhsSQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Civilian Police Review Board on a July meeting accepted the Columbus Department of the Inspector General's (DIG) findings in a series of misconduct investigations, covering traffic stops, use-of-force and arrest procedures, searches and other complaints.

The board's review committees presented summaries of each DIG investigation and recommended the board accept the DIG findings. The board then moved, seconded and voted to accept the DIG findings for the listed matters. Committee summaries and votes covered case numbers 2025-0072, 2025-0085, 2025-0107, 2025-0160 (including an additional DIG allegation), 2025-0171, 2025-0194, 2025-0214, 2025-0262, 2025-0267, 2025-0270, 2025-0277 (including two additional DIG allegations), 2025-0146, 2025-0167, 2025-0193, 2025-0209, 2025-0243, 2025-0273, 2025-0278, 2025-0298, 2025-0308 and 2025-0373.

The board's motions generally accepted the DIG's recommended dispositions (unfounded, exonerated, sustained or withdrawn) as described in the DIG reports. In one vote committee members noted an abstention by Board member Strickland on case 2025-0140; otherwise the motions carried by a show-of-hands vote.

Notable findings reflected in the files presented to the board:
- Some complaints were closed as unfounded after DIG review of body-worn camera (BWC), CAD and police reports, including investigations involving pat-downs and allegations of inappropriate contact (examples: 2025-0084, 2025-0085, 2025-0107). DIG and the board concurred where video and records did not substantiate complainant claims.
- In a number of traffic-stop related reviews (for example 2025-0160 and 2025-0171), DIG recommended a mix of sustained, exonerated or unfounded findings depending on whether officers acted within CPD policy during stops, detentions or searches.
- One case forwarded from Internal Affairs (case 2025-0273) resulted in a sustained finding after DIG corroborated that the officer had been asleep while on guard duty.

In a separate motion, the board returned case number 2025-0084 to the DIG for additional review focused on whether the vehicle compartment search complied with CPD search-and-seizure policy. The board instructed the DIG to respond to committee questions about the basis for the compartment search (for example: whether there was consent, probable cause, or other articulable suspicion) and whether any additional allegations or training recommendations were warranted. That motion passed following a second.

The board did not attempt to alter DIG factual findings during the meeting; its recorded actions were to accept DIG recommendations, to note concurrence or to request further DIG follow-up where committees identified outstanding procedural questions.","The Civilian Police Review Board reviewed more than a dozen complaint files and voted to accept the Columbus Department of the Inspector General's findings on most cases. One matter was returned to the DIG for additional investigation of potential search-and-seizure issues.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6521070,"Board plans outreach to training academy and discusses officer wellness and slow appointment process for vacancies",325,435000,760000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5114303-85396c85d0b0c83a7333648285253f2f&start=435&end=760","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5114303-85396c85d0b0c83a7333648285253f2f/thumbnail_435000.jpg","/articles/6521070/Ohio/Board-plans-outreach-to-training-academy-and-discusses-officer-wellness-and-slow-appointment-process-for-vacancies","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6521070-00eddf590f7b9b492e209c2007164a01/orig.mp4?Expires=1770584810&Signature=i7z5u9B0RGNKSLe6qKFulab2hN3wNgZUINXkDLPwMVZZUGYWRZxJCZGcmZiZgdTECLfjKyQ1dcoCHi81YrnC7KBsCGNJLljia~UDKve02pCBANE5K8zwvTr6eNS9Asr6cENcUQYxFei~x0xg9jXgvdFf4qprM8JyfiNKWVvRRYV3ddCNIoBncxfd6RDd1IMg-xGs9tRhY1VHbZJ2YYSk32hOeJbz3mU0OszuKpN4haG6iu5ia2-rzJJ1uuKxgF88DX1qXkcbNc6xsZ9w57tGH41UulXGVVIbPp9EU5hwOU6A-jlibJx945u0tndJ5e8m-BaT2~zGrhiska1PLPVOtA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Board members discussed policy and operational topics raised at a recent community town hall and agreed to seek briefings and additional information from CPD training and wellness staff.

Board members reported the town hall at Stonewall Columbus had strong public turnout and raised questions about officer training on mental-health response, crisis intervention team (CIT) approaches, cultural competency and service to marginalized communities. The board asked staff to contact the CPD Training Academy to invite a commander or faculty member to present updated training modules and to work timing with Commander Lipp's scheduled September appearance. Committee members suggested possible October-November-December slots if September was not feasible.

Separately, board members requested an update on officer wellness resources and programs after town-hall feedback. The board recalled an earlier voluntary program and asked staff to identify current wellness avenues and whether they remain voluntary or have changed.

Board members also discussed board composition and appointment timing. Participants said the board currently has three vacancies (the transcript records eight seated members of an 11-member board). Several members noted that many board terms end in April of next year (names cited in the meeting included Pastor Nathan, Dr. Ford and Miss Younger) and that city code limits consecutive terms. Discussion covered the existing rule that members serve until successors are chosen, which some members said can delay turnover if successors are not appointed. Board members discussed outreach options to the mayor's office and city council to accelerate appointments and suggested using town halls and community networks to solicit candidates.

No formal policy change or ordinance edits were adopted during the meeting. Staff agreed to:
- Reach out to the CPD Training Academy to schedule a briefing and to provide the board with proposed dates and a briefing memo.
- Request an update on officer wellness programs and whether the resources are voluntary or mandatory.
- Continue outreach to city government contacts and follow up on outstanding appointment applications.","Following a well-attended town hall, the Civilian Police Review Board asked staff to invite the training academy for a briefing on mental-health, cultural-competency and related modules, requested an update on officer wellness resources, and debated persistent delays filling three board vacancies and staggered term rules.","actionData","errors"]
