The CPHE was an evolution from the earlier Citizen Complaint Review Board (CCRB) established by former Mayor Ryan.

The study was conducted as part of a settlement of the filing of a complaint by the Springfield Pastor's Council with the Massachusetts, ‘Commission Against Discrimination (MCAD). Beginning in June of 2009, the former CORB, under the coordination and guidance of the Mayor's Chief of Staff, Denise Jordan, began meeting to review the original Executive Order governing its activities and began discussing options amongst its members and legal counsel for improving the process and increasing the positive impact of the Board fon the community, The former CCRB had issued a recommendation and report on December 9, 2008 and had also held a public hearing on its draft suggestions on that date.
