Chair of police oversight board quits

NEW YORK>> The interim head of an independent civilian police oversight board in New York, who had criticized the Police Department and had sought more investigative power and funding for the agency, resigned Monday after being forced out by Mayor Eric Adams.

The chair, Arva Rice, was asked in April to resign from the panel, the Civilian Complaint Review Board, by Philip Banks III, deputy mayor for public safety.
