The CCPO, a Community Commission on Police Oversight, has three functions. One, we serve on panels to review investigations of police officer misconduct. Secondly, we provide a forum for community engagement in police oversight. And third, we make policy recommendations to the mayor, city council, and police chief.

We are off to a slower start in 2026 primarily because of the challenges with Operation Metro Surge and the availability of sworn officers to the process.

The early intervention system is a new policy, um, where, uh, EIS is designed to ensure that each employee's performance aligns with their assignment, training, experience, and individual circumstances. So, essentially, it's an early warning system or um like a check engine light, if you will, where it alerts both the employee and their supervisor and the department when performance is not meeting expectations.

It's essential that everyone continue to provide input on the policies when you see them posted. We're happy to provide more information about how to do that or invite you to come to our monthly meetings.

My ask of the CCPO is for your support and action in getting this reprimand and any others that should be included um in the dashboard.

Police unacceptably slow implementing the MDHR consent decree. In March of 2023, the city entered the MDHR enforceable court settlement agreement.

In my view, the failure to respond was inconsistent with both the language and the intent of that policy [9-401].

This policy also recognizes the fear and confusion these incidents create in immigrant communities. The purpose section states that immigration status must never impede access to law enforcement services.

Are officers allowed to intervene? I don't know. I don't know if the officer knows. I don't know if anyone knows. I don't know what that looks like. It seems like O'Hara's statement say that says that in 9-401 that because LEOs, federal LEOs, don't really qualify under that, that they don't really have a duty to intervene...

I just wanted to share my personal experience with domestic violence and not having MPD show up when um 911 was called.

I would suggest maybe holding another one of these maybe 3 months down the road and putting a lot of effort into having it advertised out because I really think what you guys do is important and I really think you hearing the community voices is important and I don't think this is accomplishing it.

I feel some responsibility we as commissioners bear in spreading the word. Uh and I want to own that for myself. Um in the past the public hearing was widely publicized through the city enterprise apparatus communications apparatus and so I'm curious if something different was done or or regardless Uh I think we the I suggestion that we hold another public hearing later in the year that is uh more uh effectively publicized seems a very sound idea and I I feel like we owe it to each other as well as to the community.

I do believe that Chuck, you are correct probably when people saw that the meeting was canceled, they just thought it was this regular meeting cuz this is where we typically are where in years past we've always been in a different location for the public hearing. So, if we do discuss, I would like to add that we discuss that we hold it where we typically hold it in the 505 and we arrange our schedule allow around their calendar for that particular room.
