The citizen panel appointed in January to review complaints of Boston police misconduct has yet to review a case, in part because the Police Department has not turned over any complaints.
Under an executive order establishing the board, the department's Internal Affairs Division is required to turn over to the panel any cases it has dismissed that allege serious police misconduct, along with a random sampling of other dismissed complaints.
But none of the approximately 50 complaints dismissed by Internal Affairs so far in 2007 have been handed over to the panel.
Police would not characterize any of the complaints but said that none of the cases involved "serious bodily injury or death."
Don't these people realize that police officers never do anything wrong? Ever.
