Critical Incident Review

A critical incident is any actual or alleged event or situation that creates a significant risk of harm, or actual harm, to the physical or mental health of an individual, or otherwise jeopardizes the safety of the community.

The boards used by the Tucson Police Department to review critical incidents are the Force Review Board (FRB) and the Sentinel Event Review Board (SERB). These replace the previous Critical Incident Review Board (CIRB). All boards include diverse members of the community, as well as department members.

Underlying principles of Critical Incident Review:

Involve all stakeholders, including those outside the police departent.
Learn from the past to achieve better outcomes in the future.
Focus on broader issues of policy, training, supervision, and needed resources, as opposed to investigating individual misconduct or violations of policy (which remains the responsibility of the department’s Office of Professional Standards).
