Hartford’s Civilian Police Review Board is locked in a bitter standoff with the police union, stalled on critical cases due to lack of access to police records—and the union claims the board’s powers violate their contract. With the Inspector General turning to City Council for help, a proposed ordinance seeks to empower the board with subpoena authority and binding arbitration rights, sparking passionate community support that frames oversight as essential for trust—not hostility. The union’s leader fiercely opposes the changes, warning of unchecked power and ballooning costs, while Council weighs whether to grant the board the legal tools it needs to finally move forward.
