§ 2-52-10. Disposition of cases.

A.

The citizens' law enforcement review board will examine complaints against police officers and determine whether such complaints have merit.

B.

The board may recommend that no action be taken on a complaint, recommend rule changes, or recommend to the police director and sheriff that specific disciplinary or other remedial action be taken.

C.

In the event that the citizens' law enforcement board determines that the complaintant is without merit and that it warrants no action, a letter of final disposition will be forwarded to the complaintant by the board, and the case will be considered closed. This letter will outline circumstances of incident and identify the reason for closure.

D.

In the event that the board decides the complaint should be resolved by amendment or rules and/or police, the board shall submit its recommendations to the police director or sheriff and notify the complaintant of the disposition of his or her case.

E.

In the event that the citizens' law enforcement review board determines that disciplinary action should be taken, the board shall submit its recommendations to the police director or sheriff. Within ten [days] after receipt of the board's recommendation, the police director or sheriff will notify the board in writing of the disciplinary actions he or she proposes to take in response to its recommendations.

F.

All rulings, recommendations, decisions, modifications, or revisions must be approved by at least a majority of the quorum of members of the board.
