Lorcan: Good idea, that. I am going to approach our Chief about a civilian review board for brutality/internal affairs cases. It doesn't happen often in My Home Town, but it does happen. I don't think the civilans involved should be involved with the justice system in any way--no cop spouses, lawyer or judge spouces, just John Q. Public. Intelligent ones, of course, with a little common sense. We do have a civilan board that interviews applicants, but that is not enough. I wish someitmes, that Chief would ask me what I think about an applicant, but of course he never does, and never will. I am too opionated and over the last 13 years have been right about a new Officer much more often than wrong.
