Riley County Law Board

July 20, 2009

Aside from routine items, the Board approved a proposal to establish a Community Advisory Board. Like such bodies in many other communities, this group is intended to assist the Director of the Riley County Police Department by 1) serving as a communications link between the Department and the public, 2) helping improve public understanding of the Department's role, and 3) advising the Department on issues, opportunities, and policies. Soon to be established, it consists of twelve members from the area, who will operate under recently completed bylaws and whose minutes will keep the Law Board informed of their deliberations. Importantly, the CAB is only advisory, and it has no power to establish policy nor to have a role in RCPD operations.
