A city task force is proposing an overhaul in how Baltimore handles citizen complaints of misconduct by police officers. The consent decree between Baltimore and the US Department of Justice tasked the Community Oversight Task Forcewith studying ways to hold police accountable. In its 74-page report, the task force urges disbanding the current Civilian Review Board and creating two new oversight panels. We hear from task force member Catalina Bryd and chair Ray Kelly.

The public comment period continues through August 10th. Comments can be submitted here.
