Citizen police review board advocates meet the first and third Tuesdays of every month at the IDF at 8pm. |
The Champaign County Coalition for Citizen Police Review
meets this Tuesday
June 21
8pm
at the Illinois Disciples Foundation
on the corner of Springfield and Wright Sts.
All are welcome and encouraged to attend.
The Coalition for Citizen Police Review is a grassroots group of concerned local citizens and community organizations. Members of the coalition, which was formed in 2001, were dismayed by a series of incidents of seeming police misconduct in the cities of Champaign and Urbana. These incidents were investigated, and dismissed as being without foundation, solely by the local police departments. In order to ensure equal justice for all of our citizens, and to enhance public confidence in our police departments, the coalition determined that citizen oversight boards for the police in the twin cities and Champaign County are both necessary and desirable.
