The Police Advisory and Review Committee (PARC) will convene for its second quarter meeting on Thursday, Sept. 14, 2023, at 6 p.m. at the Public Works Service Center, 3131 Morris Avenue, to review cases submitted between April and July 2023.

The meeting will also include reports by the Executive Director, Chief of Police and subcommittees.

Established in 1998, PARC is the longest continuously running, citizen-run police advisory board in Tennessee. Members review incidents involving action by Knoxville Police Department officers, following the conclusion of KPD Internal Affairs investigations. 

PARC receives complaints, investigates, hears cases, makes findings and discloses those findings to the Mayor and the Chief of Police.

Complaints can be made by any person who is a victim, a witness, or who has knowledge of alleged police misconduct, and filed by telephone, online, and/or in person by scheduling an appointment with the PARC Community Manager at 865-215-3869.
