Savannah to change little-known board after police misconduct cases
Savannah officials are making substantial changes to a little-known employment board following its recent decisions involving police accountability. The reforms to the three-member Civil Service Board, first established in the 1940s, will decrease the unelected board’s power to an advisory role in matters related to demotions, firings and suspensions. The changes will also cut the six-year terms of the members, who are appointed by the mayor and city council, in half.
