PCRB February 9, 2011 Page 2 NEW BUSINESS Jochimsen confirmed with the Board that a citizen could file a complaint at the Police Department and the Board would not receive notice or a copy of that complaint and was concerned that it didn't represent the total number of complaints when the Board compiles its annual report. It was discussed that the citizen can choose whether they want to file with Police, PCRB, or both and if they choose to only file with Police and is happy with the outcome that's their choice.
