Program.  If someone from the Champaign-Urbana area wanted to file a
complaint or utilize any of the services that you offer, how would they go
about doing that?  Are there any fees involved?  Also, is there a specific
contact person that one should get in touch with if they have any specific
questions?

Ken Urban posted his reply to you to the cprb e-mail list, Mariana.  I
would add to what he said only that we do have a sample complaint form
which you can fill out, either anonymously or preferably with your name on
it.  If you've had a bad experience with the police, your complaint would
help us to document and strengthen our case that citizen police review
boards are needed in the community.

You can also go to the police department, as always, and fill out one of
their complaint forms.

If you want to get more involved with our CPRB coalition, we have petitions
that you could sign and/or get other people you know to sign.  And when the
time comes for us to approach the various governing bodies with our
proposals - and with our determination - it would be helpful to have people
such as yourself there with us.

So please do let us know if we can be of any further assistance to you, or
you to us.  Thank you.

Sincerely,

John Wason
