Montgomery County residents will be granted heightened oversight of law enforcement via a new accountability task force created by the county council on Tuesday.

The nine-member police accountability board, which was approved unanimously, will handle complaints alleging police misconduct and create a system of discipline for officers who violate procedures. The task force is set to be assembled immediately and will start reviewing complaints in July 2023.
