Officials consider who should be allowed to serve on Carroll County’s new police accountability board

Though Carroll County’s sheriff and commissioners said they don’t believe the county needs a police accountability board, they are charged by the state with creating one by July 1. On Thursday, they began debating who may be chosen to serve on the board. Carroll County Sheriff Jim DeWees said members should be thoroughly vetted and anyone who has had an adverse interaction with law enforcement should not be eligible to participate.
