I don't know what you are talking about. The text is very clear on this. 30.61 Establishment of civilian oversight boards. (1) A county sheriff may establish a civilian oversight board to review the policies and procedures of his or her office and its subdivisions. (2) The board must be composed of at least three and up to seven members appointed by the sheriff, one of which shall be a retired law enforcement officer. They can appoint everyone on it. This is something setup by the sheriff, and the sheriff controls the appointments. They don't have ot appoint all the people, but they can. Which means the original comment still stands. > Having a retired cop in the room who understands police work sounds pretty sensible to me. That doesn't mean they have to be on the board. You can easily bring cops in when needed.
