The Hartford Police Union challenges the citys Civilian Police Review Boards new power to send citizen complaints against officers to arbitration. This move, filed in January, could set a precedent for how complaints are handled. The boards new authority, granted by city council changes in 2020, allows it to bypass the collective bargaining agreement and check the police chiefs decisions. The union argues this infringes on officers rights, while the board maintains its essential for accountability. The case heads to the State Board of Labor Relations in April, with potential implications for police reforms nationwide.
