The Urbana Civilian Police Review Board (CPRB) is a City board, established by Mayor Prussing and the Urbana City Council in 2011 to provide a fair and independent process for the review of citizen complaints concerning sworn police officers. The Board is not a part of the Police Department.
The board is charged with offering a citizen’s perspective to the review of complaints and to provide a systematic means to promote and maintain positive police-community relations. The Board reviews complaints in a fair, thorough, and timely manner and reports board findings to the Mayor and Chief of Police.
The Board is comprised of seven members appointed by the Mayor with the approval of the City Council. Members are chosen from diverse segments of the community. Members serve without compensation for a term of three years. Terms of office are staggered.
CPRB meets quarterly on a fourth Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. in the Urbana City Council Chambers at 400 South Vine Street. Special meetings may be held as deemed necessary. Meetings are open to the public.
