    Police Review Board

    (COLUMBIA, MO) -- City Manager Bill Watkins today issued his decision

    (attached) regarding the Citizens Police Review Board’s finding in a case involving

    Derek Billups and Columbia Police Officer Nathan Turner.

    In the decision, the city manager stated that he agreed with the board’s minority

    opinion. He also said that he is directing Columbia Police Chief Ken Burton to review

    and clarify two department policies.

    “The revisions should more strongly balance the Columbia community’s desire

    for less physical confrontation and restraint, against what is absolutely required to

    ensure officer safety,” Watkins said.
