WILMINGTON, Del. 鈥� The City Council in Wilmington, Delaware, has approved a civilian board that would investigate complaints against police officers and review department practices.
The 海角社区app Journal reported Thursday that the bill creating the nine-member board still requires approval from the city鈥檚 mayor. The office of Mayor Mike Purzycki said it would review it.
The review board would be tasked with publishing data about complaints, uses of force and trends about police practices. Council members widely considered the proposal a 鈥渇irst step鈥� in police transparency even though it would have limited powers to obtain certain records.
The bill was opposed by Wilmington鈥檚 police union.
