Civilian Oversight Board

St. Louis’ Detention Facilities Oversight Board is calling on city officials to compel the division of corrections to provide requested documentation on the St. Louis City Justice Center.

The measure directs $5 million from the remaining pot of federal COVID relief money toward contracts with individual attorneys and legal aid agencies. Tenants facing eviction or utility shut-offs would be entitled to an attorney.

The St. Louis Board of Aldermen passed a bill Friday that puts the Detention Facilities Oversight Board and the Civilian Police Oversight Board under a civilian commissioner.

The proposed Office of Public Accountability is an attempt to give civilians more control in police reform efforts.
