Civilian Review Board reviews inspector general quarterly report showing 253 complaints in first quarter of 2025
Summary
The Civilian Review Board heard an Inspector General summary of a new, expanded quarterly report covering January–March 2025 that lists 253 citizen complaints, 82 investigations opened and 72 closed for the quarter, and a new public-facing case summary section.
The Civilian Review Board on an administrative session reviewed the Inspector General’s quarterly report covering January–March 2025, which the Inspector General said recorded 253 citizen complaints for the quarter and provided new public summaries for closed cases.
The quarterly report “is about, I wanna say either 63 or 64 pages long,” the Inspector General told the board, adding the office expanded the report to include a case-summary appendix and chain-of-command dispositions for closed matters. The IG said the report shows 253 complaints in the quarter; 82 investigations were opened and 72 were closed during the same period, with 21 cases listed as on administrative hold.
The IG said the report breaks allegations down by type — the largest category was “actions taken/not taken,” with 19 complaints listed as “rude and discourteous,” 16 as “handling property,” and a total of 210 discrete allegations across complaints. On dispositions, the IG reported 35 exonerations, 33 sustained findings, 22 unfounded findings, one not-sustained/conclusive, and 19 administrative closures.
Board members were shown a new back-of-report summary that the IG said will list each closed case with the DIG’s disposition, the board’s disposition and the department chain-of-command outcome when available. “We may not always have the chain of command updated immediately,” the IG said; the office intends to refresh that information in later quarterly reports.
Board members asked for electronic copies. The IG said the lengthy report was distributed by email to board members and also will be posted on the office website for public review. The board chair reminded community members that the next board meeting will be June 3, 2025, at the Glenwood Community Center and encouraged interested residents to apply to fill three vacancies on the Civilian Review Board.
The IG also said the office added a monthly chart to the monthly summary to give a running line-by-line view of reports received in January, February and March. “Just trying to give a little bit more clarity,” the IG said.
Ending: Board members did not take a formal vote on the quarterly report at the meeting; the report was distributed for review and will be part of the board’s public record when posted on the office website.
