Original CRB: the 1948 Complaint Review Board in DC. Idea (going back to Progressive Era) is to provide oversight of police by folks from outside the corps of sworn officers. Data hard to find (and police don't like to give it)

BUT necessary - police internal review doesn't work (#PCPTP , or police cannot police the police); and elected oversight fails because of fear (don't want to be called weak on law-and-order politics). Police are NOT your typical bureaucracy
