Review panels consist of three panelist, two civilian and one sworn.
Police Conduct Review Panels
The Review Panel ensures police conduct complaints get a fair review. It combines police review with civilian oversight.
Civilian panelists

- To be eligible, civilian panelists must meet qualifications outlined in our City ordinance.
Read Chapter 172.60 of the Minneapolis Code of Ordinances.
Sworn panelists
- The Chief of Police or the chief’s designee assigns the pool of sworn panelists.
- As with civilian panelists, inclusion in the pool does not guarantee eligibility.

- Sworn members cannot have a sustained policy violation of C within five years of the panel date.
- A sworn member cannot be a member of a panel if they have a sustained policy violation of a level 3 use of force.
