Jacobs said the goal of the Miami board, and all civilian review boards, is to build trust. He added while the civilian panel itself couldn’t solve all police-community relationship issues, the trust it created would.

“It was never about sticking it to the police officers,” Jacobs said. “I have two kids. I want to raise them in a city where we don’t need police accountability or police oversight because they do the right thing all the time.”
