Civilian Police Review Board

The Civilian Police Review Board (CPRB) reviews and evaluates investigation reports prepared by the West Hartford Police Department (WHPD) resulting from investigations referred to WHPD involving complaints against sworn personnel and WHPD’s civilian employees, in order to: promote public confidence in the professionalism and accountability of the West Hartford Police Department through the unbiased review of the investigation of complaints filed against any West Hartford police officer; to add a civilian perspective to the evaluation of complaints; to provide a timely, fair, and objective review of complaints and the way the complaints are investigated; and to promote positive interactions and maintain trust between the community and the police.

The Civilian Police Review Board is comprised of seven members and three alternate members. The CPRB meets on an as needed basis. Appointment to the CPRB is subject to required completion of a background check.
