Police Conduct Review Panels

What to know

Review panels consist of three panelists:

• Two of the panelists are civilian.
• One of the panelist is sworn.

See the review panelist pool

Civilian panelists

• Inclusion in the pool does not mean they are eligible to serve.
• To be eligible, civilian panelists must meet qualifications outlined in our City ordinance.
  Read Chapter 172.60 of 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 panelists must meet all training requirements.
• They also must not have any open misconduct cases to be eligible to serve. 

A sworn member cannot:

• Be a member of the panel if they have a sustained violation of D or higher. 
• Have a sustained policy violation of C within five years of the panel date. 
• Be a member of a panel if they have a sustained policy violation of a level 3 use of force.
