Providence approves PERA oversight law
The Providence City Council unanimously approved an amended ordinance expanding the powers of the civilian-led police oversight board, PERA. The new rules grant PERA direct, but limited, access to police records, including body-worn camera videos, to enhance accountability and transparency in investigating misconduct. The ordinance aims to strengthen civilian oversight by clarifying authority, ensuring timely record access, and establishing protocols to protect sensitive information, with mayoral support expected for immediate implementation.
