Resident and longtime oversight observer Barry Gewanter urged the board to make any external advisory committee meetings open to the public and to publish the committee's charge. \"History always informs the present,\" Gewanter said, urging transparency in how the board approaches proposed changes to its enabling legislation and bylaws. The administrator responded that the committee is still in planning, that legal counsel will advise on what can be discussed and who will participate, and that the board will provide public information once matters are settled.

During the public‑comment period, Desiree Yagan said she had submitted an earlier email and had posted video clips on YouTube that form the basis of a complaint against Syracuse police officers she named as Officer Frollo, Officer Sticca and Sergeant Webb. Yagan described alleged First and Fourth Amendment violations and said body‑worn‑camera footage supports her account. \"It is the basis for my complaint against Syracuse police officer Frollo, officer Sticca, and Sergeant Webb,\" Yagan said.

The chair noted that complaints against police officers must be submitted in writing for the CRB to consider and that the board will take the written complaint under advisement with the administrator. A board staff member reiterated that operational questions about police programs (for example, the drone first responder program Yagan referenced) are matters for the Syracuse Common Council.

A member of the public raised a potential conflict‑of‑interest concern about the CRB's new executive secretary, who previously worked for the Syracuse Police Department for many years. The commenter said national guidance from NACOLE (the National Association for Civilian Oversight of Law Enforcement) cautions about hiring former police employees for oversight positions. The administrator said legal counsel had advised that the staff member's prior employment does not constitute a disqualifying conflict and that her experience has been an operational asset.

Board members asked members of the public to file formal complaints in writing so staff and legal counsel can review them. The meeting then moved to an executive session to discuss caseload items that could not be addressed publicly.

No formal board action on the advisory committee or on the complaint was taken in public; the board said it will follow legal counsel guidance and notify interested parties of next steps.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Citizen Review Board (CRB) Meeting, Thursday October 2nd, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Speakers at the Oct. 2 Syracuse City Citizens Review Board meeting pressed the board for clarity on an external advisory committee to review bylaws and brought a complaint alleging misconduct by Syracuse police officers.","taxTitle","Syracuse City, Onondaga County, New York","taxId",3762,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6425616,"Syracuse Citizen Review Board adds staff, outlines technology costs and case load",317,1001000,1318000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5887286-e8dcef7f085b22913ab02d1ca657b010&start=1001&end=1318","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5887286-e8dcef7f085b22913ab02d1ca657b010/thumbnail_1001000.jpg","/articles/6425616/Syracuse-City/Onondaga-County/New-York/Syracuse-Citizen-Review-Board-adds-staff-outlines-technology-costs-and-case-load","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6425616-2b9a4eaa493596efe31fe8d5ab18ed26/orig.mp4?Expires=1771172319&Signature=mQHCPtkbGIgRLBTOGtpgXHlPVDUHpsAaGJYWXSBcvH90qVBGYqFvS5vZa0OmzX51hMNlvfa3kP0MTaXrgkltbFLe8U1eR0L3vE4CiEPr2fR7IQWeptM6DYCwYP8KwtYWKIBYmE0ZTgyAX63OQNF92S96vPtYVR5HtopUjRBQ7rEgxAuQoqfVw~qrruRtegY0cnpCTE43DTMJj4jybENtwscCN0c2AfVcUpH8nTIq6ji5CObMxPOBMPZZdSgXR-dYpG4IsZ-CqzFROWi4GivNSC2WkJkySYS17o1qGo~Ny-PuaNdGVYY8CIn6Q9KhCny96kxYOBXghJe5GX4PE1TMpQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Syracuse City Citizens Review Board on Oct. 2 announced new staff hires and gave an update on technology and casework during its monthly meeting.

CRB administrator Nolita said the board had hired Adonia Wade as a community engagement specialist and is in the final stages of recruiting a data analyst and an investigator. \"We are growing our team, and we are thrilled to welcome Adonia Wade ... as our new community engagement specialist,\" Nolita said.

The administrator told the board that hiring is advancing: four candidates for the data-analyst role have been interviewed and two more interviews are scheduled, and investigator interviews are planned next week. Nolita said the board hopes to be \"fully staffed at the citizens review board\" before the start of the new year.

The board also reported changes to its technology and budget. Nolita said the CRB now has access to Lexipol through a login provided by the Syracuse Police Department that removes the need to purchase a Lexipol license. She also told the board that the purchase of Axon services was approved by the common council and is awaiting mayoral approval. \"This will be a new expense to our budget of $978.96 per year,\" Nolita said, adding the board plans to buy Axon on a year‑to‑year basis rather than committing to a five‑year contract.

Nolita listed several vendors included in the CRB budget but not yet purchased: Boussnick and Holsteins (to be used as needed, ordinance in place but no purchase order yet), Toshiba for copier services, WB Mason for office supplies and Freeland Investigation for outside investigative work.

On caseload, Nolita said the board handled 11 cases in September, with six of those moving forward to the next stage. She said staff are prioritizing cases with approaching expiration dates.

The board elected to continue using its YouTube recordings as a public archive of meetings; a board member noted videos are available online back to an earlier upload date as reported during the meeting. Nolita said staff and the new community engagement specialist will work on improving the CRB's public communications and media outlets.

The board went into executive session after the public portion of the meeting to discuss current caseload items, and returned to adjourn by unanimous voice vote.

Looking ahead, Nolita asked board members to support community outreach work and to meet the new staff at upcoming events.","Syracuse City Citizens Review Board announced a new community engagement hire, ongoing recruitment for a data analyst and investigator, access to police policy databases and a planned Axon contract that would cost about $978.96 per year; the board reported 11 cases in September, six advancing to the next stage.","actionData","errors"]
