HOUSTON — In light of the Breonna Taylor decision, a handful of local activists are now challenging Mayor Sylvester Turner to reconsider the composition of the current Houston Citizen Review Board.
Thursday morning, community leaders detailed a plan to create more transparency in police misconduct.
They want a community board with the ability to subpoena documents, interview witnesses, suspects and police officers and aid in disciplinary decisions.
Among their big concerns is banning no-knock warrants. It's a move Mayor Turner took a step towards back in June.
Currently, all no-knock warrants must first be approved by the police chief or a district judge.
They are also demanding the allocation of additional funding for education and training within the police force as well as funding for non-police emergency response.
It's a proposal created by retired HPD Sgt. Shelby Stewart.
