investigation is a personnel matter which should be maintained in
process under the rules of confidentiality that presently exists.
However, where the complaint alleges conduct involving acts cf
false arrest, abuse of authority, excessive use of force, or
violation of civil rights by an officer acting in the public, an
office of civilian complaints could maintain those complaints
which are public for the purpose of independent investigation
with independent powers of recommending to other agencies such as
the Grand Jury, the District Attorney, the State Attorney
General, or the United States Attorney for investigations of any
allegations of misconduct which rise to the level of a crime.
Thus, the interests of the Board of Police Commissioners in
maintaining an independent evaluation of the conduct of police

Where an officer views another officer committing an ac
excessive use of force, the present system exists that
effectively eliminates independent review cf a police shcotin
or an excessive use of force where serious bodily injury is
caused.
First, in cases involving excessive use of force, not
arising out of shootings, it is generally the arresting offic
who generate a "use of force report" which goes directly to the
