Deadline to apply is Friday, September 16, 2020
The application process for at-large nominations for four (4) seats on the City of Madison Police Civilian Oversight Board is now open. The deadline for submitting nominations or self-nominations is Friday, September 16, 2020.
The Civilian Oversight Board was established on September 1, 2020, when the Madison Common Council passed MGO sections 5.20 and 5.19 creating it and the Office of the Independent Police Monitor.
The mission of the Civilian Oversight Board is to "provide within the City of Madison a body that is independent from the MPD…to review and make recommendations regarding police discipline, use of force, and other policies and activities, including related to rules, hiring, training, community relations, and complaint processes".
"I am encouraging a broad diversity of people to apply for positions both through the nominating organizations and for the at-large seats," said Mayor Rhodes-Conway.
"This is a historic moment in our city to see representation of those who are not often heard or seen to serve on the Civilian Oversight Board. This is a great opportunity for City of Madison residents to have a seat at the table where their concerns relative to law enforcement can be heard. I encourage all to apply to serve on the newly created Civilian Oversight Board," said Council President Sheri Carter.
MGO 5.20 requires that the Civilian Oversight Board have a diverse composition in the following intersectional areas of lived experience and identities:

For purposes of this ordinance "immediate family" means an individual's spouse or designated family or registered partner or an individual's relative by marriage, lineal descent or adoption.
To apply for consideration for one of four (4) At-Large Civilian Oversight Board seats (two (2) voting members and two (2) alternates), please complete the following:
