The Chief of Police shall establish a Reward Advisory Panel which will consist at a minimum of the following:
The Reward Advisory Panel shall review each case upon the adjudication or conviction of a defendant arrested based on information provided under this chapter in order to determine the recommended amount of the award to be paid.
If information was provided by more than one source, the Reward Advisory Panel shall determine the share of the reward to be awarded to each citizen based on the value of the information to the investigation and prosecution of the case.
If the candidate for a reward from this Fund was nominated by a law enforcement agency other than the Metropolitan Police Department, the Chairman of the Reward Advisory Panel shall request a representative from the arresting agency to sit on the Panel when it reviews that case.
The Reward Advisory Panel shall forward its recommendations to the Chief of Police for approval.
