Prince George’s Council holding public session for applicants to join police accountability board

The Prince George’s County Council will hold a virtual listening session Tuesday for candidates willing to serve on the jurisdiction’s new police accountability board. The 11-member body is mandated through legislation state lawmakers approved last year. The council plans to approve five members to the board and County Executive Angela Alsobrooks (D) will name the other five, along with the board chair. The 19 people who applied for the council-appointed positions include community leaders, activists, a paralegal, former state delegate Carlo Sanchez (D), and a criminal justice college professor.
