Metro Nashville Chief of Police John Drake said the department is considering creating a new review unit to examine critical incidents involving police. A spokesperson for the police department told The Tennessean that the review unit would be part of the department's Professional Standards Division, which is led by Kathy Morante, a former Davidson County assistant district attorney and Tennessee deputy attorney general. The new review unit would not replace the current Force Review Board, which reviews critical incidents and makes recommendations on officer involved shootings. The new unit would focus on policy, training and supervision issues when an incident occurs.
