The PCRC receives sworn complaints of perceived police misconduct, holds executive meetings or public hearings where necessary, issues recommendations and makes reports to the city council, mayor and chief of police as is appropriate for each complaint.

The commission consists of seven members who hold staggered terms of two years each. (Four members served an initial three-year term to facilitate the practice of staggered terms. The three year term members shall be designated by lottery. Subsequently, those four or the remaining three positions shall be filled every other year.) Members may serve no more than two consecutive terms.

Under city ordinance, the Commission shall receive sworn complaints of perceived police misconduct, hold executive meetings or public hearings where necessary, issue recommendations and make reports to the city council, mayor and chief of police. It is also to issue a written annual report on all complaints received.
