The Rochester Police Accountability Board is entering a new chapter of leadership.

Congratulations to AJ Durwin on his appointment as Board Chair and Lwam Tecleab on her reappointment as Vice Chair for the 2026–2027 fiscal year.

We also extend our sincere thanks to outgoing Board Chair Bill Clark for his leadership and dedication. His service helped guide the PAB through an important period of growth and transition, and we are grateful for his commitment.

AJ joined the Board in September 2025 as the Northwest District City Council appointee. As a founding member of the Police Accountability Board Alliance, AJ helped draft and implement Article XVIII of the Rochester City Charter, which established the PAB.

An attorney with nearly a decade of experience in police accountability, he brings deep knowledge and a longstanding commitment to civilian oversight.

Lwam Tecleab, the East District City Council appointee and Rochester native, will continue serving as Vice Chair for a second year.

Join us in congratulating AJ and Lwam, and thanking Bill Clark for his service.
