On July 20, 1999, the Boise City
Council officially established the Office of the Community
Ombudsman. This office was established to investigate
complaints of misconduct against Boise City police and law
enforcement officers. The ombudsman's office is independent from
all other City departments and reports directly to the Mayor and
City Council. In addition to investigating misconduct, the
Office of the Community Ombudsman seeks to ensure that police
policies and practices reflect the needs of the community.
The following documents outline the
authority and responsibilities of the Office of the Community
Ombudsman. The Office of the Community Ombudsman is
authorized and empowered by Title 2, Chapter 22 of the Boise City
Code. The actions of the Community Ombudsman are governed by
policy. The processes related to the operations of the office
are described in the regulations.
