County attorney says PAB may review redacted outcomes; detention-center cases separate
Summary
County Attorney John Norris told the PAB the board can review redacted disciplinary outcomes quarterly under statute 3-102A4, and that correctional officers and detention-center matters are governed by a separate corrections bill of rights and not normally part of PAB jurisdiction.
County Attorney John Norris addressed member uncertainty about whether the PAB could publicly discuss cases that had been reviewed in closed ACC sessions. "What I believe mister Silver was referring to is 3Dash102A4, where it says the Police Accountability Board is to, on a quarterly basis, review the outcomes of disciplinary matters considered by charging committees," Norris said, adding that personnel-record protections under the Public Information Act still apply.
Board members had asked whether outcomes could be discussed publicly with identifiers removed. Norris said the board could receive redacted outcomes and trend information that do not reveal names or other personally identifiable information. He also reiterated that detention-center matters and correctional officers are covered by a separate corrections bill of rights and internal disciplinary procedures overseen by the sheriff.
