Kent County PAB introduces new administrative assistant, plans pamphlet revisions to improve public outreach
Summary
At its Aug. 6 meeting the Kent County Police Accountability Board introduced new administrative assistant Tara Short and discussed edits to a public-information pamphlet to improve legibility and add the board—s contact link; no formal votes were taken on the pamphlet.
The Kent County Police Accountability Board introduced a new administrative assistant and discussed revisions to a public-information pamphlet during its Aug. 6, 2025, meeting.
Board members said improving the pamphlet—s legibility and adding a direct Police Accountability Board (PAB) link would help outreach and that staff would revise and recirculate the document for review.
Chair (name not specified), who opened the meeting, introduced the new administrative assistant by name, saying, "Let me first introduce our new administrative assistant, Tara miss Tara Short." The chair also praised her work: "she's jumped in with both feet running, and she's doing a fantastic job." Tara Short offered brief greetings to the board.
Board discussion then focused on the brochure the group had drafted. One member asked that the PAB's link be added to the bottom or back of the pamphlet so that readers have a direct contact, saying, "Add the PAB's link the bottom or the back." Members repeatedly raised concerns that a flowchart/matrix in the pamphlet was difficult to read in its current formatting. Suggestions included increasing the flowchart size, changing colors for contrast, and potentially splitting crowded content across two pages. One board member said, "If you can't read it, it really doesn't make any sense," and another suggested reformatting rather than keeping the existing graphic.
No motion or vote was taken on the pamphlet during the meeting. The chair said the item was being circulated among members for comment and that staff would attempt to produce a more legible version before the next distribution.
The discussion about the pamphlet occurred during the meeting's old-business segment; members characterized the forthcoming version as a revised draft to be recirculated rather than a finalized, approved product. The board did not adopt a final design or set a formal deadline for publication.
Board members noted that an improved pamphlet would support future community outreach plans discussed later in the meeting.
