The Citizen Police Review Board (CPRB) is an independent agency set up to investigate citizen complaints about improper police conduct.

Set against a backdrop of tremendous social, economic, and cultural commotion, Pittsburgh adopted a Home Rule form of government in 1976. Economic downturn in the 1980s left the city swirling with the ashes of social turbulence in the mid-nineties and indicators of seriously strained relations between citizens and their police.
