AI Summary
This bill requires law enforcement agencies to establish a police oversight board consisting of public members with diverse perspectives. The board's primary responsibility is to conduct an annual review of the agency's policies and submit a report to the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST). By mandating this oversight mechanism, the bill aims to increase transparency and accountability in law enforcement agencies. The term "law enforcement agency" is defined in Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 181A.010, and the requirement applies to agencies falling under that legal definition. The annual review and reporting process is designed to provide an external perspective on police policies, potentially identifying areas for improvement or addressing potential concerns about existing procedures.
