Missouri HB2569 modifies the establishment and powers of civilian review boards for police agencies.
Missouri HB2569 repeals and replaces Section 590.653 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, allowing cities, counties, and cities not within a county to establish civilian review boards or similar entities for police oversight. These entities can receive, investigate, and recommend disciplinary actions on complaints of police misconduct, including excessive use of force and abuse of authority. The bill specifies that findings cannot be based solely on unsworn complaints and prohibits prior unsubstantiated complaints from being considered.
