At its meeting on Tuesday, the Metro board will vote on the creation of a new review board for the Metro Transit Police Department, according to its meeting agenda.

It’s not clear yet what the review board’s structure will be, or how or when it will be created. Paul Smedberg, the chair of the Metro board, has not responded to requests for comment from DCist.

The Washington Post was the first to report the news on Monday.

News of the review board comes after the Metro board said earlier this month that it would come up with a plan to address racism in Metro, particularly with regard to how the transit police officers interact with Black riders. Policing in the city—as in the rest of the country—has come under sharp scrutiny over the last month following the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis in police custody and the ensuing national protests.

MTPD has faced a bevy of accusations of biased policing, discrimination, and excessive force over the last several years. In February, WMATA pledged to investigate an incident in which a Metro police officer arrested and handcuffed a 13-year-old boy. That same month, a Washington Post report revealed that transit police had held a weekly contest to see who could make the highest number of arrests and issue the most citations. The transit police force is facing a lawsuit for repeatedly tasing a civilian last year after he confronted officers about their handling of another adolescent boy. The Department of Justice indicted a former MTPD officer last year for using unreasonable force on an individual, including striking them several times in the head with his baton and choking them.

The city also decriminalized fare evasion on the system following a report by the Washington Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights and Urban Affairs that showed that 91 percent of riders stopped for fare evasion over a two year period were Black. During debate over the measure, MTPD was also criticized for several fare evasion enforcement actions, including one instance when police slammed a young mother to the ground and chipped her teeth after she tried to ride a bus without paying her fare.

At a D.C. Council hearing earlier this year, Metro Police Chief Ron Pavlik said he was considering hiring outside investigators to review internal affairs investigations into officers’ behavior, as the Post reports.

The D.C. Council passed an emergency police reform bill two weeks ago, but it only applies to D.C. police — the legislative body does not have jurisdiction over the Metro police.
