An independent oversight body · City of Cleveland
Cleveland's independent body for civilian police oversight.
The Community Police Commission evaluates Division of Police policy, issues public recommendations, monitors reform, and keeps the record of that work open to every Clevelander. Public oversight, public records, public meetings.
