Police Board Remains In Place For Another Year
The police board will continue in force at least one more year despite a draft resolution by eleven general council members to amend the charter and abolish the board. Leaders postponed action until Beavers' case concludes, delaying the measure as no regular council meetings occur until after the legislature adjourns. The plan would have elected a chief inspector of Police Hive while abolishing the police chief and shifting control to a ten-member police committee from each ward.
