Abstract:

Durham’s Civilian Police Review Board has little power to hold police accountable in Durham. The board cannot hear complaints unless police have vetted the complaints first. The board cannot initiate its own investigations. The board has no power to force the department to change its policies. The board and its members can only trust the police leaders will listen. Frustrations by board members and citizens are detailed.
