Your book mentions three different models of police oversight. You can find them in the PowerPoint starting on slide 34. Civilian review is the strongest model and allows citizens to investigate complaints against officers, decide on the validity of the complaint, and recommend punishment. Civilian input allows citizens to receive and investigate complaints. The civilian monitor model allows citizens to provide oversight for civilian complaints, but the department receives, investigates, and decides on punishment. Take a look at the information in the slides. Tell us which model you think would be most effective and why. What do you see as the problem or problems with the model you chose?
