collaborative agreement

Cincinnati’s independent police oversight board nearly doubled the number of completed investigations last year. The Citizen Complaint Authority has been digging out of a backlog of hundreds of cases for several years.

Cincinnati’s independent police oversight board completed nearly 80 investigations into officer misconduct last year. That’s over 70% more than the year before, as the Citizen Complaint Authority tries to get through a huge backlog in cases.

Longtime community leader Iris Roley says seven public sessions are designed to recap the history of the agreement, inform the public about policing, and invite feedback about how to improve services.

The Collaborative Agreement focuses on dozens of issues around equity, independent oversight, use of force, and transparency. But organizers say the mission is ongoing.

Roley joins Cincinnati Edition to talk about her goals in the new job, the state of efforts to refresh the Collaborative Agreement and issues around equity in policing.
