Compare and contrast civilian input, civilian monitor, and civilian review

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Civilian-input duties include reception and investigation of complaints by civilians, but the police department takes the next steps. For civilian monitor, the police department receives complaints, and the process from beginning to end is monitored by the external unit. Civilian monitors do not make decisions. With civilian review, a group of citizens investigates complaints against the police, adjudicates the complaints, and recommends punishment.
