NEWARK - Mayor Ras Baraka today signed an executive order officially establishing the city's first citizen complaint review board - a move advocates say creates nearly unparalleled oversight of its beleaguered police force. Joined at City Hall by members of the American Civil Liberties Union, NAACP and other organizations who lobbied for the board, Baraka said he hoped it would help strengthen a sense of accountability for the department during a time when national stories have begun to erode public trust in law enforcement.
