Did the Cops Kill Community Oversight?

Host Grace Fuisz talks to Nashville Community Review Board chair Alisha Haddock about the recent allegations by a former Metro Nashville police lieutenant that high ranking MNPD officials worked with Republican state lawmakers to pass a 2023 law abolishing our Community Oversight board — an institution created by Davidson County voters in 2018 to hold the police accountable for violence and misconduct. On June 12, the NAACP and a coalition of other advocates joined the Community Review Board at a press conference to present a list of demands and call for an investigation of MNPD and Metro Legal’s role in hindering investigations. Meanwhile, the CRB’s attempt to create a new memorandum of understanding — being negotiated with the same officers accused of interfering with the COB — has stalled, which renders the board powerless to review their backlog of more than 50 complaints. It’s a complicated situation with implications for every resident (and tourist!) in Nashville, and we’ve got the explainer you need to catch up on this crisis of public safety.
