Who are the voting members of the MVCRB?

• A. The Colonel of the Department of Operational Support, the Captain of Professional Standards Bureau, and the Sergeant of the Traffic Homicide Section
• B. The Chief Legal Counsel and a Fleet Operations representative
• C. The Colonel, the Captain, and the Chief Legal Counsel
• D. The Captain, the Sergeant, and a Fleet Operations representative

Answer: (C)

The voting members are chosen to bring together leadership, operational perspective, and legal guidance. The Colonel provides the top-level oversight and policy direction the board needs. The Captain contributes practical, bureau-level insight to ensure decisions fit how things actually work on the ground. The Chief Legal Counsel offers the necessary legal interpretation and ensures actions comply with laws and department policies. This combination ensures decisions are authoritative, workable, and legally sound. Replacing the Chief Legal Counsel with someone like a Fleet Operations representative, or including a Sergeant instead, would remove essential legal review or appropriate authority from the voting slate, so those configurations don’t fit as the official voting membership.
