Police Complaints Board Dr. Andrea Headley Confirmation Resolution of 2026

This bill is a confirmation resolution that formally approves Dr. Andrea Headley's appointment as an at-large member of the District of Columbia Police Complaints Board. The legislation confirms her selection by the Mayor to fill a new seat on the board, which oversees citizen complaints regarding police conduct, for a term ending in January 2027. By passing this resolution, the Council of the District of Columbia completes the legal process required to finalize her role within the existing complaint review framework. The text does not alter the board's structure or powers but simply validates the appointment of a new member based on her academic background in public policy and criminal justice.
