1. Police Community Relations & Review Board — independent civilian oversight
The Police Community Relations & Review Board is a civilian agency that reviews complaints about Newburgh City Police Department officers outside the department's own chain of command — your complaint is not investigated by colleagues of the officer involved. Note that it requires identification — anonymous complaints are not investigated. No notarization is required to file.
