The agenda also includes committee business, speakers who have requested to address the committee, and an open forum, limited to three minutes per speaker.

After the event, video of the meeting will be available for on-demand viewing on Community Television of Knoxville’s website, CTVKnox.org.

PARC was established in 1998 to provide an independent review of police activity and make recommendations to the Chief of Police. It is the longest continuously running citizen-run police advisory board in Tennessee.
