Less than a day after the Morgantown City Council approved the formation of a civilian board to review complaints against law enforcement officers, a police union filed suit to halt the process. The Monongalia-Preston Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 87 filed the lawsuit after the city council unanimously passed an ordinance creating the board that would review misconduct complaints relating to the Morgantown Police Department. The union opposes a provision that allows the review board to participate in complaints before the chief makes a decision and a provision that authorizes the board to interview witnesses. The complaint alleges that the review board would contradict the state’s civil service law and asks a judge to stop the city from adopting the ordinance.
