The Harford County Council is seeking a volunteer to fill one anticipated opening on the Police Accountability Board.

The Police Accountability Board receives citizens’ complaints of police misconduct and forwards them to law enforcement for investigation. A board member must be 21 or older, live in Harford County, and be a legal resident of the United States. A volunteer must agree to a background check. Active law enforcement officers are not eligible to apply.

To the extent practicable, a member should have experience in civil rights; law enforcement; criminal law; community policing; policing standards; criminology; personnel management and discipline; juvenile justice administration, and other experience that may be valuable to the board.

Applicants must submit a letter of interest in serving on the board and describe any relevant experience, in addition to other requirements.

Applications are due by Wednesday, Oct. 11, 2023. The application is available on the County Council’s website.

A paper copy is available upon request by calling 410-638-3343.
