Madison City Council may suspend police oversight board

Madison City Council member Yannette Figueroa Cole has introduced a resolution to place the city's Police Civilian Oversight Board on a temporary hiatus. The move follows growing tensions between the oversight body, city staff, and council members. According to the Wisconsin State Journal, the council's chief of staff will supervise the office in the interim, though they will not serve as a formal monitor. The proposal highlights ongoing friction regarding police accountability in the city.
