Civilian Police Review Board (CPRB)

Charged with offering a citizen’s perspective to the review of complaints and to provide a systematic means to promote and maintain positive police-community relations, the Civilian Police Review Board (CPRB) reviews complaints in a fair, thorough and timely manner and reports board findings to the Mayor and Chief of Police.The CPRB was established by Mayor Laurel Lunt Prussing and the Urbana City Council in 2011 to provide a fair and independent process for the review of citizen complaints concerning sworn police officers.

The CPRB is not a part of the Urbana Police Department.
