Albany CPRB Update

On May 6, at the Albany Common Council meeting, several people spoke during the public comment period about the current issues facing the Civilian Complaint Review Board. The people of Albany voted in a referendum for an independent and strong board to manage effective police oversight. However, many people have felt that the mayors’ office has not cooperated and the police department themselves have very clearly blocked the board. The first to speak was outgoing board member Kevin Cannazaro.
