POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY BOARD

The Police Accountability Board is an independent, community-led agency within the City of Rochester. We were created in 2019 thanks to overwhelming support from local voters. Our community has tasked us with bringing accountability and transparency to the Rochester Police Department... Our mission and vision are the driving forces that guide everything PAB does. Our mission, set by an overwhelming majority of Rochester's voters, is to "ensure public accountability and transparency over the powers exercised by sworn officers of the Rochester Police Department." Our vision, set by the community members who serve on our Board, is to reimagine public safety. To understand how we achieve our mission and our vision, you'll need to understand our history, our values, and our work.
