Six months into its nine-month mission, the Charlottesville Police Civilian Review Board could seek another year to come up with bylaws for a future iteration of the board. And after having lost two members since its inception last year, a law enforcement group wants a third member to be removed.

At its meeting Tuesday, the panel read a letter to the city from Denise Lunsford, the attorney for the Southern States Police Benevolent Association, that referenced comments made by board member Katrina Turner during a City Council meeting earlier this month.

Turner told the council that her son was pulled over for running a stop sign. She said that once the officer ran his name through the system, he summoned backup.

Turner said she told the officers she was a CRB member. At the council meeting, she wondered out loud if that had led to her son getting off with a warning.

Lunsford’s letter says the actions Turner described are an inappropriate use of her position. It also references other complaints and actions by Turner without naming anything specifically.

Lunsford’s letter asks that her actions be reviewed by City Attorney John Blair and Commonwealth’s Attorney Joe Platania.
