How We Serve

One civilian member is appointed by the Mayor for a one-year term; one is appointed by the City Council for a two-year term; and one is appointed upon nomination by the active membership of the Police Department and appointment by the Mayor for a three-year term. The civilian members are resident voters of the City and persons of good moral character. A salary of $1,800 is paid annually to appointees for sitting on this board.
