The policing board will hold a special meeting to discuss claims officers made and share images of a body of a deceased man.
Spotlight by BBC reported that two officers were under investigation.
The chief constable has apologized for the offensive and "stomach-churning Sectarianism" in the case that dates back to five years.
According to the Police Federation, the incident was disturbing.
Representatives of the Police Service of Northern Ireland stated that there were larger implications for the whole of Northern Ireland.
Spotlight revealed that the victim's genitals were exposed. The body was believed to have been altered for the images.
His family claimed that they were told the images had been edited to include a speech bubble containing the word "taig", which is a derogatory term used by Catholics.
After a three-and-a-half year investigation by the police ombudsman into the case, the Public Prosecution Service is now investigating the case against the officers.
This is part of an ongoing investigation by the Ombudsman that involves 11 related incidents over several years. Numerous arrests were made.
John Blair, a member of the Alliance Party's Policing Board, stated that the body should look at the process in the case as well as the "whether or not it is a cultural problem here."
"Given that these are recurring issues and a series if revelations one-after the other, we have decided that as a board, we will have that dedicated process collectively to do a deeper dive into what is happening here," he said.
Simon Byrne, Chief Constable of Police, stated that he could not imagine how difficult this would be for the family.
"There is no place for such behavior, but there is no place for sectarian comments that would almost make your stomach churn, if the terms were not bad enough."
Spotlight reported that the man's father described feeling "physically sick" before the meeting.
He said, "Those officers were in my house while I was there. They asked me to leave the area. I did everything they asked me to."
"And all that keeps coming to me is why I left the room. Because that must have been when the photos were taken, that must have been when they did it."
The allegations were first made to the father by investigators from the Ombudsman 18 months after the death of his son.
