Indiana lawmakers push to limit civilian police oversight in Indianapolis, boosting police chief authority.
Indiana lawmakers are advancing a bill to limit civilian police oversight boards in Indianapolis, giving police chiefs greater control over department policies.
Sponsored by Republican Sen. Cyndi Carrasco, the legislation aims to reduce board influence, with supporters arguing oversight bodies have delayed or disrupted key policies like chokehold restrictions.
Critics, including Democratic lawmakers, question the state’s role in local governance and worry the bill’s broad language could harm other community oversight groups.
The measure does not affect merit boards that handle disciplinary matters.
The bill now moves to the full Senate.
