Police Citizens Advisory Board Created In Gwinnett County

GWINNETT COUNTY, GA — In an effort to guide the creation and modification of the county police department's future policies and practices, Gwinnett County commissions voted to establish an 11-member Police Citizens Advisory Board. The resolution takes effect Feb. 1.

“Strengthening community and police relations requires an understanding of the community dynamics and building individual connections between community members and their law enforcement agencies,” Gwinnett County Police Chief Brett West told commissioners on Tuesday. “It is our belief that the creation of the Gwinnett County Police Citizens Advisory Board is in the best interest of our community.”
