TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — Tallahassee city commissioners have unanimously voted to create a joint citizens review board to review officer-involved shootings in the community, according to Mayor John Dailey.

Commissioners agreed on the idea during a virtual meeting on Wednesday.

Commissioners say the independent citizen's review board would oversee policing practices in the community, which includes officer-involved shootings.

They will continue to work on the details of establishing that citizen's group during their next meeting.
