Citizens Public Safety Review and Appeal Board

The Citizens Public Safety Review and Appeal Board (CPSRAB) provides community oversight of the Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety. CPSRAB hears community complaints that are appealed after they have been investigated by the Office of Professional Standards. The Board also serves in an advisory role to improve public safety service and policies, and works to build community trust, credibility and confidence. CPSRAB Policies & Procedures of Operation are linked here.
