Cd'A police chief seeking citizens for Use of Force Board

From the Coeur d'Alene Police Department's Facebook page, posted earlier today:

Coeur d’Alene Chief of Police Lee White is seeking citizens interested in serving on a Use of Force Review Board. Since his hiring in September of this year Chief White has made it clear the appointment of civilians to this board is a priority. “Citizens serving in this capacity will increase transparency, accountability, and public input into police operations.” said White.

This standing board will meet quarterly with police personnel. The members will rotate in order to have more citizens involved. Interested citizens will receive information on basic law enforcement training as well as case law as it pertains to use of force, what constitutes excessive force, and police policies and procedures.

The deadline for returning applications is December 22nd 2014. Please mail or turn in the application to 3818 Schreiber Way CDA ID 83815 Attention: Use of Force Review Board.
