Appointment
The Civilian Complaint Review Board has thirteen members. Five members are designated, or nominated, by the New York City Council (one from each borough), three are designated by the police commissioner, and five are designated by the mayor. However, the mayor must appoint all members, even those designated by the city council or the police commissioner. No member of the board may have served previously in law enforcement (other than those designated by the police commissioner) and none may hold other public office or employment. Board members serve three-year terms, and receive compensation on a per-diem basis.

Responsibilities
The board hires the executive director, holds monthly public meetings, oversees agency operations through numerous committees, and sets policy. The board reviews all CCRB investigations and makes findings on every allegation raised by every complaint.

Board Panels
In addition to holding public meetings on the second Wednesday of every month, the members of the board form panels to evaluate cases. Each panel is composed of one board member designated by the mayor, one designated by the New York City Council, and one designated by the police commissioner. The panel can substantiate any allegation by a vote of two to one. If the board substantiates any allegation raised by the complaint, the CCRB forwards the case to the police commissioner, who has the final authority to impose discipline.
