City Council created Rochester’s PAB in
2019 after the concept received overwhelming public support after City Council
sent a ballot-initiative to voters during the fall elections. City
Council’s objective in creating the PAB was, and remains, to bring greater
public accountability to the Rochester Police Department. You can learn
more about the PAB at ROCPAB.org.
