ACC reports 78 cases reviewed; board members press for greater location and redaction transparency
Summary
The Advisory Complaint Committee reported 78 cases reviewed across June–September including 11 use-of-force matters; board members urged precinct-level and officer-experience breakdowns and asked the ACC to consider publishing redacted opinions for transparency.
Dawn, representing the Advisory Complaint Committee (ACC), told the Police Accountability Board that the ACC met multiple times over the summer and rendered opinions on 78 cases. She provided a categorical breakdown that included 11 use-of-force cases, departmental-accident reviews, and a range of policy-violation outcomes; several allegations did not result in administrative charges.
Dawn described the ACC’s review process: members review materials uploaded to evidence.com before meetings, including full investigation reports, body-worn camera footage, still photos, and related documents. "We review all of that," she said, and ACC opinions summarize the evidence, identify policy allegations, and recommend whether administrative charges are warranted.
Board members pressed for more granular public reporting. Nigeria Roland Court asked for precinct-level location data and officer experience ranges attached to the ACC report so the public can see where incidents cluster. Dawn and ACC staff said they will explore how to include precinct or division identifiers and experience ranges and will take the request to the ACC for review.
Several board members also suggested publishing redacted ACC opinions or including more incident detail in annual reports to improve transparency, citing Prince George’s County as an example. ACC staff acknowledged the suggestion and added it to their list for consideration.
Next steps: ACC staff will consider the feasibility of including precinct/location and experience data in future reports and evaluate options for broader public access to redacted opinions; the ACC’s next meeting is scheduled for Oct. 3.
