.@Hawkins4PGC @PGCMDeniTaveras @TomDernogaD1 @glaroscouncil3 ⏰Time is running out to secure real accountability and transparency in PG County. W/ the July 1 deadline fast approaching, we urge the council members to include our community-backed recommendations in the final bill!
(Ex: Baltimore CRB and the former CCOP). So what's the hold up? Do our county leaders not believe in holding police officers accountable? Does the FOP hold more power than the people? There is no public safety without police accountability 🗣️🗣️
The People's Council has the opportunity to lead and set an example for the rest of the state by giving the PAB the powers necessary to fulfill its duties. This is not unheard of, there are many examples across the country and locally that have similar powers

@melrfranklin Folks who are tuning in are having a hard time with the livestream. It keeps freezing up and cutting off and theres no audio. Can we get some help, please?
🗣️Tune in to the Health, Human Services and Public Safety Committee https://t.co/jwjjbPqMUr. They committee will be discussing the PAB bill CB-081-2023, that will add the necessary powers for the PAB to do its job! Strong Community Oversight is what we demand 👏👏
🚨Action Alert🚨 "The Peoples Council" must vote YES to give the local Police Accountability Board (PAB) necessary power and authority to fulfill its purpose. Click the link below ⤵️ https://t.co/QI7dG0BHfb
Granting community oversight boards such as the Police Accountability Board the authority to conduct independent investigations will help address the perception of bias or conflicts of interest when police departments investigate their own officers.
Check out this piece from our coalition members Beverly and Yanet. “The People’s Council," must not shy away from unpopular or controversial issues that make a huge difference in the day-to-day life of Black and Brown working-class residents.https://t.co/uwioqf8BNG
Council members can make a difference right now by granting independent investigatory and subpoena powers to the county’s new Police Accountability Board. These powers will ensure that allegations of police misconduct are investigated thoroughly and impartially.
Event alert! 🚨
Come join Hon. Monique Anderson Walker, The Talking Drum and Prince Georgians for Civic Engagement as we host a public safety Town Hall. The curfew is over, how do we move forward. What must be done about violent crime?

The fight for police accountability continues…
(2/2) police accountability than it did before the LEOBR repeal. This is a prime example of how local elected officials, including Democrats who will talk about the need for police accountability, actively work with the FOP to further undermine community control.
(1/2) Yet, instead of getting police accountability right, the Prince George’s County Council opted to replace the CCOP with a Police Accountability Board that only monitors complaints. This move means that Prince George’s County will have a weaker system https://t.co/M6dOVaycdB
