The South Bend Common Council has filled the final seat on the Community Police Review Board. Mental health professional Marla Godette was appointed Monday to fill the remaining 11 months of a two-year term.
She was nominated by 3rd District council member Sharon McBride. “I think that it would be a great fit, and [I’m] excited to see the board moving forward,” McBride said.
The Community Police Review Board is tasked with investigating alleged police misconduct and making recommendations. But it’s had challenges in having a five-member quorum, due to vacancies and absences. Two other new members were appointed in January.
