Nashville’s Community Review Board continues to negotiate a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Metro Nashville Police Department nearly a year after its reconstitution. The MOU would govern how the board and police work together, outlining procedures for the board’s review of the department’s internal investigations. According to the Nashville Banner, the lack of a finalized agreement has led to frustration among board members and delays in case reviews due to missing body camera footage. Mayor Freddie O’Connell told the board in April that his office would get involved if progress toward an MOU stalled.
