Nashville’s Community Review Board voted unanimously this week to approve a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Metro Nashville Police Department, formalizing the procedures both sides will follow as the board reviews internal police investigations. The agreement comes more than a year after the review board was established to take the place of a stronger oversight board that was eliminated by a 2023 state law. Details of the agreement were not released, but recent board discussions had focused on making sure the board had timely access to body camera footage and received entire case files associated with complaints against officers, the Nashville Banner reports.
