Police supporters criticize proposal for review board

URBANA – Urbana police officers and their supporters showed up in force Monday night at a public hearing about a proposal to create a civilian police review board.

While the officers didn't testify, their supporters told the city council, in blunt terms, that they don't like the idea of a citizens panel investigating the validity of complaints against police officers.
