IF YOU WISH TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION TONIGHT AND HAVEN'T [3:31] ALREADY DONE SO, YOU MAY REGISTER WITH THE CLERKS AT THE SIDE OF THE DAIS. IF ANY SPEAKER HAS PRINTED MATERIALS, PLEASE GIVE THOSE TO [3:37] THE CITY CLERK. WE ALSO INVITE FOLKS TO SUBMIT WRITTEN COMMENTS USING THE FORMS AVAILABLE FROM THE CITY CLERK TO [3:43] BE INCLUDED IN THE PUBLIC RECORD AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO SPEAKING AT TONIGHT'S COMMENT SESSION. [3:49] EACH SPEAKER WILL BE GIVEN TWO MINUTES TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION TONIGHT. WE HAVE A TIMER TO ASSIST SPEAKERS IN MONITORING THEIR USE [3:54] OF TIME. WITH THAT, I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD. WE HAVE NO SPEAKERS. [4:01] ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE COMPLETED THE PUBLIC COMMENT [4:08] SECTION OF THE AGENDA. THE NEXT ORDER OF BUSINESS IS REPORTS. WE'LL BEGIN WITH A REPORT FROM THE OFFICE OF POLICE CONDUCT [4:14] REVIEW. I WILL ASK ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR FUJISAWA TO COME UP AND SPEAK AND HAVE ALLOCATED TEN MINUTES [4:21] FOR THIS REPORT. [4:31] >> GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS RUSSELL FUJISAWA, DIRECTOR OF THE OFFICE OF POLICE [4:37] CONDUCT REVIEW. AS USUAL TONIGHT, WE'LL MOVE THROUGH SOME QUICK BACKGROUND AND SOME UPDATES ON STAFFING AND [4:42] THEN OUR USUAL INTAKE AND ADMINISTRATIVE INVESTIGATION UPDATES AS WELL. A QUICK REVIEW OF OUR REVIEW PANEL PROGRESS THROUGHOUT THE [4:53] YEAR. AS YOU ALL KNOW, APCR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HANDLING [5:00] INVESTIGATIONS IN COMPLAINTS LODGED BY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC. WHEREAS INTERNAL AFFAIRS HANDLES [5:07] COMPLAINTS FROM SWORN MEMBERS AND EMPLOYEES. JUST A QUICK NOTE, I KNOW YOU'VE SEEN THIS ORG STRUCTURE A NUMBER [5:12] OF TIMES. I JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT WE HAVE A PLAN FOR OUR LAST TWO [5:18] VACANCIES. WE HAVE AN INVESTIGATOR STARTING ON DECEMBER 1ST. SO COMING UP IN A COUPLE OF [5:24] WEEKS, AND THEN WE HAVE ANOTHER CANDIDATE MOVING THROUGH BACKGROUND RIGHT NOW WITH A [5:29] CONDITIONAL OFFER TO START ON THE 15th OF DECEMBER. SO BY THE END OF THE YEAR, WE SHOULD BE FULLY STAFFED. [5:41] THIS IS A HUGE STEP FORWARD. THIS YEAR THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF STAFFING UPDATES AND A LOT OF PROGRESS. AND A LOT OF THE WORK THAT WE [5:47] HAVE SHOWN WITH THAT STAFFING JUST HIGHLIGHTS THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING GOOD PEOPLE IN ROLES [5:54] TRAINING THEM, AND MOVING THROUGH THE CASE WORK EFFICIENTLY, EFFECTIVELY, AND TRANSPARENTALLY. SO I'M REALLY EXCITED TO HAVE A [6:04] FULLY STAFFED TEAM AND REALLY UNDERSTANDING WHAT OUR FULL CAPABILITY AND CAPACITY LOOKS LIKE SO THAT WE CAN START TO [6:11] HAVE SOME PROJECTIONS TOWARDS COMPLIANCE AND HAVING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT NEXT STEPS [6:16] MOVING FORWARD IN THE OFFICE. AS ALWAYS, OUR INTAKE PROCESS IS OUR FIRST CONTACT WITH [6:24] COMPLAINANTS. THAT IS REALLY THE BREAD AND BUTTER OF OUR OFFICE IN TERMS OF [6:29] INTERACTING WITH THE PUBLIC, UNDERSTANDING WHAT THEIR COMPLAINT IS, IDENTIFYING POLICIES, IDENTIFYING OFFICERS, MAKING SURE THAT IT'S IN OUR [6:36] JURISDICTION. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THE DISTINCTION [6:42] BETWEEN OUR JURISDICTION AND INTERNAL AFFAIRS IS NOT ONLY JUST WHO THE COMPLAINT IS COMING [6:49] FROM BUT ALSO THE CONTEXT OF THE COMPLAINT. INTERNAL SWORN MEMBERS AND CITY [6:55] EMPLOYEES HAVE OFTENTIMES A MUCH BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES THAT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS REQUIRED TO [7:01] ADHERE TO. OFTENTIMES WHEN WE GET A COMPLAINT FROM A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC, IT IS A DESCRIPTION OF [7:08] AN INTERACTION AND OF WHAT THEIR PERCEIVED ISSUE WITH CONDUCT IS. THEY DON'T ALWAYS ATTRIBUTE A POLICY VIOLATION TO THAT. [7:15] SO WHAT THEY MAY BELIEVE WAS MISCONDUCT, MAY NOT ALWAYS BE THE CASE. BUT IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND [7:21] THAT INTAKE AND THAT COMPLAINT RECEIPT IS WHAT TRIGGERS OUR REVIEW OF THE ENTIRETY OF THAT [7:26] EVENT AND INTERACTION BETWEEN THAT MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC AND AN [7:31] OFFICER OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HERE IN MINNEAPOLIS. SO THAT'S JUST AN IMPORTANT DISTINCTION THAT REALLY SETS UP [7:38] THE FULL INTAKE REVIEW THAT WE UNDERGO IN THOSE FIRST 30 DAYS AFTER THE RECEIPT OF COMPLAINT. [7:46] WITH THAT, TAKING A LOOK HERE, YOU CAN SEE, I THINK WHAT I'D [7:51] LIKE TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO YEAR TO DATE WE'VE ALREADY RECEIVED 360 COMPLAINTS. [8:01] OF THOSE 360 COMPLAINTS, RIGHT NOW WE HAVE 143 IN OUR INTAKE QUEUE. OF THOSE 143, 36 ARE LESS THAN [8:08] 30 DAYS OLD SO STILL IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND CONSENT DECREE TERMS. THOSE OUT OF COMPLIANCE ARE 107. [8:15] OF THOSE 107, 24 ARE CURRENTLY ASSIGNED TO INVESTIGATORS AND 83 [8:27] REMAIN PENDING ASSIGNMENT. THIS IS OUR CHALLENGE RIGHT NOW, WORKING THROUGH THESE IN A TIMELY FASHION WORKING THROUGH THE CONSENT DECREE IN TERMS OF [8:36] COMMUNICATING THE CASE NUMBER AND REALLY THE INTAKE STATUS OF THESE COMPLAINTS AS THEY COME IN. I DO WANT TO CALL OUT THIS [8:41] BOTTOM NUMBER OF 22 DAYS, SO THIS IS THE AVERAGE LENGTH OF THE INTAKE REVIEW ONCE A CASE IS [8:51] ASSIGNED TO OUR TEAM MEMBERS. A CASE IS TECHNICALLY IN COMPLIANCE IN TERMS OF HOW LONG THE DURATION OF THAT REVIEW [8:57] PERIOD. BUT DUE TO THE NUMBER AND THE VOLUME OF CASES THAT WE HAVE, THAT'S WHAT TAKES US OUT OF COMPLIANCE. SO I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THE GOOD [9:02] WORK THAT OUR TEAM IS DOING. IT'S JUST MANAGING THE VOLUME. AND THEN JUST TAKING A LOOK, [9:10] WE'VE SEEN ITERATIONS OF THIS OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR. THIS TREND IS WHAT IS [9:16] PROBLEMATIC AND WHAT IS CHALLENGING FOR OUR OFFICE AND WHY THESE TWO NEW STAFF MEMBERS THAT ARE COMING OUT IN THE NEXT [9:21] MONTH ARE REALLY KEY BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE BOTH CONTACTS, EXCUSE ME BOTH COMPLAINTS AND INQUIRIES [9:28] ARE INCREASING AT A PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL RATE. AND ALTHOUGH INQUIRIES DO NOT [9:34] RESULT IN CASES AND THAT THOROUGH INTAKE INVESTIGATION, [9:39] THEY STILL REQUIRE A LOT OF STAFF TIME AND RESOURCES TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS NOT A COMPLAINT OR THAT IT'S SOMETHING WE NEED [9:45] TO GET TO ANOTHER AGENCY, ANOTHER DEPARTMENT WITHIN THE CITY AND STILL BE RESPONSIVE TO [9:50] THAT INDIVIDUAL. JUST WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THIS AS SORT OF THE [9:56] BACKDROP OF ALL OF THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING ON THE INTAKE SIDE AND SORT OF WHAT OUR COMPLIANCE [10:01] METRICS LOOK LIKE AND WHAT THE OUTLOOK LOOKS LIKE TO GET THERE WITHIN COMPLIANCE FOR ALL OF OUR [10:07] INTAKE COMPLAINTS, NOT JUST THE INVESTIGATIVE WORK. [10:13] THIS WAS REQUESTED A NUMBER OF MONTHS AGO JUST TO LOOK AT SORT OF THE BREAKDOWN OF INCIDENT [10:21] DATE BASED ON COMPLAINT. THIS PAST MONTH IN OCTOBER, THERE WAS DEFINITELY LESS DISTRIBUTION OVER HISTORICAL [10:28] PERIODS. A BULK SIT, THE INCIDENT DATE [10:33] SAT IN OCTOBER. AGAIN I DON'T WANT TO SPECULATE IN TERMS OF WHAT A TREND IS HERE. [10:38] ARE WE SEEING MORE MISCONDUCT OR ARE WE JUST HAVING MORE COMPLAINTS RECEIVED BY OUR [10:45] OFFICE. I DON'T WANT TO SPECULATE THAT, BUT I KNOW WE HAVE SEEN AN INCREASING NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS, [10:51] OUR OFFICE FIELDS THEM. SO I WOULD LIKE TO ATTRIBUTE AT LEAST THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING TO BECOMING MORE VISIBLE, BEING [10:56] IN COMMUNITY, MAKING THE PROCESS OF FILING A COMPLAINT MORE EASIER AND JUST MORE ACCESSIBLE [11:05] GENERALLY. THE ADMINISTRATIVE INVESTIGATION, SO IN THE POST INTAKE PHASE, IF A CASE IS [11:11] REFERRED, IF MISCONDUCT IS BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN COMMITTED, THE CASE MOVES TO A FULL [11:17] ADMINISTRATIVE INVESTIGATION. THIS IS REALLY THE DEEP INVESTIGATIVE WORK THAT INCLUDES [11:23] ADDITIONAL WITNESS INTERVIEWS, WITNESS-FOCUSED OFFICER [11:29] INTERVIEWS AND THE SUBSEQUENT INVESTIGATIVE SUMMARY REPORT THAT SITS BEFORE A PANEL, THAT SITS BEFORE THE CHIEF, AND IS [11:35] ULTIMATELY THE BASIS FOR THE DISCIPLINE THAT'S ISSUED FOR THE [11:41] OFFICER IF THE COMPLAINT AND THE CONDUCT IS SUSTAINED. [11:50] THIS IS THE BACKLOG WHERE WE'VE TALKED ABOUT PREVIOUSLY, I WANT TO CALL ATTENTION TO THE ONE [11:55] CASE THAT HAS BEEN MOVED BACK TO ASSIGNED. I THINK WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THE COMPLETION OF THE INVESTIGATIVE WORK BY OUR INVESTIGATORS IN [12:02] OPCR. THERE WAS ALWAYS THAT CAVEAT THAT IF THE CHIEF'S OFFICE [12:08] REMANDED THE CASE AND SENT IT BACK FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION THAT THAT WOULD BRING A CASE BACK INTO AN ASSIGNED STATUS IN [12:14] THE BACKLOG. THAT'S WHAT HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS ONE CASE. WE'RE ADDRESSING THIS, BUT WANT [12:19] TO BE FULLY TRANSPARENT WITH WHAT WERE ALL OF THE CASES FROM THE BACKLOG SIT. THE REMAINDER AS WE HAVE STATED [12:25] PREVIOUSLY SIT IN SUPERVISOR REVIEW OR BEYOND. EVEN WITH THAT ONE CASE MOVING [12:31] BACK, I STILL THINK IT'S BEEN AMAZING PROGRESS THAT WE'VE MADE IN THE LAST 11 MONTHS. [12:45] THIS IS OUR CURRENT OUT OF COMPLIANCE CASES SO AFTER THAT [12:51] MAY 2024 DATE AND GREATER THAN 180 DAYS OLD. AS YOU CAN SEE A BULK OF THEM ARE ASSIGNED. [12:56] BUT WE'VE MOVED A NUMBER OF THESE THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE INVESTIGATIVE AND REVIEW PROCESS. WE'VE MADE PROGRESS ON THESE AS [13:02] WE'VE MOVED AWAY FROM THE BACKLOG BECAUSE WE KNOW THERE IS A LARGE VOLUME OF WORK THAT CONTINUES AND CONTINUES TO COME [13:07] IN WITH COMPLAINTS THAT WE RECEIVE ON A DAILY BASIS. [13:14] CURRENT COMPLIANCE, THIS BUCKET WILL ALWAYS REMAIN SMALLER BASED [13:19] ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT COME IN, AND OUR WORK TO GET THESE OUT THE DOOR. BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE A NUMBER OF PENDING ASSIGNMENTS [13:26] HERE, BUT AGAIN THE OVERALL PIECE OF THE PIE THAT THE CURRENT COMPLIANT AND NONCOMPLIANT CASES REPRESENT IS [13:31] MUCH SMALLER THAN WHAT THE BACKLOG WAS. AND WE WORKED THROUGH THE BACKLOG AS WE WERE INCREASING [13:38] STAFFING RIGHT OVER THAT 11 MONTH PERIOD. SO I FEEL MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE [13:43] ABOUT WHERE WE ARE AT WITH OUR ADMINISTRATIVE INVESTIGATION ASSIGNMENTS AND THE STRUCTURES [13:49] PUT IN PLACE WITH THE SOP, THE STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE THAT REALLY DICTATES THE BODY OF [13:55] OUR WORK AND INTERNAL AFFAIRS WORK, IT REALLY PROVIDES SOME SOLID STRUCTURE. [14:00] THAT HAS BEEN PUT IN PLACE. SO THERE ARE JUST MANY PIECES AND TRAININGS AND PEOPLE IN PLACE TO GET THE WORK DONE AT [14:06] THIS POINT. [14:11] THE REVIEW PANEL, AS MANY OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE REVIEW PANEL, WE HAVE MADE BASED ON THE [14:16] ORDINANCE, THE CHANGES TO THE STRUCTURE THAT HAS BEEN DECREASED, THE SIZE OF THE PANEL HAS BEEN DECREASED FROM FIVE [14:24] MEMBERS TO THREE TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN [14:29] WITH SCHEDULING, KNOWING THAT THERE WAS THIS BACKLOG OF CASES. [14:40] FROM OPCR AS WELL AS INTERNAL AFFAIRS. >> WE'VE EXHAUSTED THE TIME. CAN SOMEONE MAKE A MOTION TO [14:47] EXTEND THE TIME TO FINISH THE REPORT AND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >> I MOVE TO EXTEND THE TIME BY THREE MINUTES. >> OKAY. IS THERE A SECOND? [14:55] >> CAN WE SAY MORE THAN THREE? 5 TO 10? >> TEN MINUTES. [15:00] >> THE MOTION IS FOR TEN MINUTES TO EXTEND. IS THERE A SECOND? >> SECOND. >> WE'RE GOING TO DO A VOICE [15:05] VOTE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE SAY AYE. [CHORUS OF AYES] ANY OPPOSED? ANY ABSTENTIONS? [15:11] DIRECTOR FUJISAWA, THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, WE'VE [15:17] STEADILY BEEN INCREASING THE NUMBER OF REVIEW PANELS THAT HAVE BEEN COMPLETED THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE YEAR. AND THAT BEGAN AT THE END OF [15:24] 2024 JUST PUTTING IN PLACE THE [15:32] SET AND ADOPTED CALENDAR BY CCPO THAT SET REVIEW PANEL DATES. THIS NEW ORDINANCE CHANGED FROM [15:37] THE COMPOSITION BEING THREE MEMBERS INSTEAD OF FIVE, RUNNING [15:43] TWO PANELS CONCURRENTLY. EVERYTHING WE'VE DONE IS TO SET [15:49] UP OR PREVENT THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A NEW BACKLOG IN A DIFFERENT [15:55] PHASE OF THE PROCESS. WE FEEL VERY GOOD ABOUT THE CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE. OBVIOUSLY WE'RE TRYING TO [16:03] INSULATE FROM ANY SHOCKS, FROM ANY LARGE NUMBER OF CASES COMING THROUGH. WE'RE VERY GRATEFUL FOR THE [16:09] POSSIBILITY OF SWORN AND CIVILIAN MEMBERS TO SIT ON THESE PANELS AND TO REVIEW THE CASES AS A CRITICAL PART OF THIS [16:22] PROCESS. HERE YOU SEE THE OVERALL ANNUAL TOTALS. THIS IS YEAR TO DATE FOR 2025. WE HAVE ALMOST THREE TIMES AS [16:27] MANY CASES AS WAS REVIEWED IN THE ENTIRETY OF 2024. THAT RIGHT THERE REALLY GIVES ME A LOT OF CONFIDENCE IN OUR [16:33] ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO REVIEW ALL OF THE CASES THAT ARE COMING FROM THE BACKLOG IN BOTH IA AND [16:42] OPCR AS WELL AS ALL OF THE CASES THAT ARE COMPLIANT AND NONCOMPLIANT. REALLY TRYING TO HAVE BETTER [16:47] DISTRIBUTION SO WE'RE NOT FRONT LOADING AND JUST DUMPING A NUMBER OF CASES. [16:54] JUST REALLY TRYING TO HELP EVERYBODY ABSORB THE VOLUME OF CASES THAT'S COMING THROUGH THE [17:00] PIPELINE. WITH THAT, ANY QUESTIONS? >> ANY QUESTIONS FROM [17:06] COMMISSIONERS? [17:11] COMMISSIONER SCHANFIELD. >> DIRECTOR FUJISAWA, THANK YOU SO MUCH. THAT'S REALLY HELPFUL AND EASY [17:17] TO READ. COULD YOU SAY A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE INCIDENT OF DATES [17:27] COMP COMPLETE. THE BLUE CHART. I WAS TRYING TO UNDERSTAND HOW THAT RELATES TO THE CHART BEFORE IT. IT LOOKS LIKE THE NUMBER IN [17:33] OCTOBER ON THE CHART WAS 30, BUT I DON'T SEE A 30 ON HERE, SO I'M MISSING SOMETHING. [17:38] >> SO THAT IS -- WHAT WE'RE SEEING HERE, THIS IS A BREAKDOWN BY INCIDENT DATE. [17:44] AND THIS IS ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS RECEIVED IN OCTOBER ON THE FAR RIGHT COLUMN. SO THAT'S ALL COMPLAINTS RECEIVED OCTOBER 2025. [17:50] SO AT THE BOTTOM THERE WAS A TOTAL OF 45 COMPLAINTS. SO IF WE GO BACK HERE YOU'LL SEE [17:57] THE GREEN BAR REPRESENTS THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS RECEIVED IN OCTOBER OF 2025. [18:10] SO NUMBERS SHOULD MATCH. I BELIEVE THEY DO. DID THAT ANSWER -- [18:15] >> IS IT EASIER TO SAY THAT WHEN THE COMPLAINTS COME IN, YOU'RE JUST PUTTING THE INCIDENT DATE ON THIS CHART. [18:21] >> THIS IS JUST A DISTRIBUTION OF THE INCIDENT DATE OF [18:27] COMPLAINT. >> OKAY, EVERYONE ELSE SEEMS TO UNDERSTAND SO I WILL DO MY HOMEWORK. [18:32] THANK YOU. >> THIS IS JUST THE BREAK DOWN OF THE INCIDENT DATE AND THE [18:38] TOTAL COMPLAINTS RECEIVED WAS STILL 45. SO THIS IS JUST SHOWING THE DISTRIBUTION THERE. >> SO ESSENTIALLY 45 PEOPLE MADE [18:45] A COMPLAINT, BUT VARIOUS TIMES OF THE YEAR WHEN THE ACTUAL INCIDENT HAPPENED, BUT YOU PUT IT ON THIS CHART TO SAY 30 -- [18:53] YES. >> BECAUSE THERE WAS A PREVIOUS REQUEST TO SEE, IT MUST HAVE STARTED IN AUGUST WAS THE FIRST MONTH THAT WE REPORTED THIS OUT. [18:59] AND THERE WAS A PRETTY WIDE DISTRIBUTION THAN YOU CAN SEE IN SEPTEMBER. SO I THINK THERE WAS JUST SOME [19:05] QUESTIONING AROUND HOW WE, WHAT [19:11] ARE WE ATTRIBUTING THIS TO, IS IT THAT THERE'S MORE MISCONDUCT, THAT WE'RE BECOMING SUCCESSFUL [19:17] AS AN OFFICE SO THAT PEOPLE ARE MORE COMFORTABLE REPORTING HISTORICAL COMPLAINTS THAT THEY'VE OBSERVED. [19:23] >> I SEE THIS AS PEOPLE ARE MORE COMFORTABLE FILING SOONER BECAUSE YOU HAD 30 PEOPLE COME [19:28] IN AND FILE A COMPLAINT AND THE COMPLAINT ACTUALLY HAPPENED IN OCTOBER OF 2025. [19:33] >> I DON'T WANT TO SPECULATE, BUT BASED ON WHAT WE'RE SEEING HERE, IF THE DISTRIBUTION SKEWS [19:39] MORE TOWARDS THE CURRENT MONTH, I WOULD LIKE TO BELIEVE THAT THAT'S THE REASONING. [19:46] >> OKAY, THANK YOU. >> I JUST WANT TO APPRECIATE [19:52] THIS TABLE. IT WAS A LOT MORE LEGIBLE THAN HOW WE SAW THE DATA IN PREVIOUS MONTHS. >> THANK YOU. [19:57] >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WANT TO MAKE SURE I DON'T MISS [20:04] ANYONE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU, DIRECTOR FUJISAWA. I ASK THE CLERK TO RECEIVE AND FILE THAT REPORT. [20:09] NEXT UP IS THE MONTHLY REPORT FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT'S INTERNAL AFFAIRS DIVISION. I'LL INVITE MS. HASTINGS TO COME [20:16] UP AND PRESENT. I'VE ALLOCATED TEN MONTHS -- NOT TEN MONTHS, TEN MINUTES FOR YOUR REPORT. [20:34] >> ALL RIGHT, GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS. SO AGAIN, MY NAME IS LILY [20:39] HASTINGS, I'M THE SENIOR PROJECT MANAGER IN INTERNAL AFFAIRS. SO OUR TABLE OF CONTENTS FOR TONIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO DO A [20:44] VERY, VERY BRIEF STAFFING UPDATE. SAME THING, WE'RE GOING TO DO A BRIEF UPDATE ON TRAINING. [20:50] WE'RE GOING TO GO OVER OUR NORMAL STATISTICS AND TRENDS. AND THEN THE LAST THING YOU'LL [20:55] NOTICE IS WE DO HAVE A RESPONSE FROM THE CHIEF PROVIDED IN BOTH [21:01] OUR REPORT AND OUR POWERPOINT WITH REGARDS TO THE RESOLUTION THAT WAS MADE AT LAST MONTH'S [21:06] MEETING FROM THE CCPO. SO WE'LL BRIEFLY COVER THAT. [21:13] SO WITH OUR STAFFING, THE PAST FEW MONTHS, WE'VE BEEN HIGHLIGHTING THAT OUR ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT [21:19] SPECIALIST POSITION HAS BEEN VACANT. WE ARE VERY, VERY, VERY HAPPY TO REPORT THAT THAT PERSON HAS [21:25] STARTED AND HAS BEEN A HUMONGOUS HELP TO OUR DIVISION. [21:31] WE ACTUALLY GOT A SMILE FROM OUR OTHER ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT PERSON. SHE WAS SO STRESSED. [21:37] WE DID NOT SEE SMILES FOR A COUPLE MONTHS. WE GOT A SMILE TODAY. SO WE'RE REALLY HAPPY TO HAVE [21:42] THIS PERSON STARTING IN OUR OFFICE. SAME THING FOR OUR NEXT SLIDE. [21:49] AGAIN, WE JUST WANT TO CONTINUE TO EXPRESS THAT ALTHOUGH WE DO HAVE OUR STAFF IN PLACE, WE ARE [21:55] AN UNDERSTAFFED UNIT. WE DO REQUIRE ADDITIONAL STAFFING IN ORDER TO COMPLY WITH [22:02] ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS, INCLUDING OUR SOP, THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT, AND THE [22:07] CONSENT DECREE AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS WITHIN MPD AND OUR STATE AND FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS [22:12] AS WELL FOR REPORTING. SO WE JUST WANT TO KEEP EXPRESSING THAT WE ARE [22:18] UNDERSTAFFED AND WE DO STILL NEED ADDITIONAL STAFF IN OUR UNIT. [22:25] ALL RIGHT. IN TERMS OF TRAINING, OUR UPDATE FOR THIS MONTH IS THAT THE RFP [22:32] HAS CLOSED FOR SUBMISSIONS FOR THE TRAINING PLAN REGARDING [22:37] FINDING AN EXTERNAL VENDOR THAT CAN ASSIST IA AND OPCR WITH DEVELOPING A TRAINING PLAN BASED [22:43] ON THAT SOP THAT WE PREVIOUSLY HAD GOTTEN APPROVED THROUGH [22:50] ALEFA. SO THE RFP WAS CLOSED FOR SUBMISSIONS. WE REVIEW THOSE PROPOSALS WITH A [22:55] PANEL OF MEMBERS FROM BOTH IA, OPCR, AND ALSO MEMBERS FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND OUR [23:01] MPD TRAINING UNIT. CURRENTLY, WHAT WE ARE DOING RIGHT NOW IS WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR INTERVIEW STAGE [23:08] WITH THOSE VENDORS. [23:13] MOVING ON TO OUR STATISTICS AND TRENDS, THESE STATISTICS WERE [23:18] TAKEN AS OF END OF DAY ON NOVEMBER 13TH. SO IN REGARDS TO INTAKES, WE HAD [23:25] 14 OPEN INTAKES AS OF END OF DAY ON 11/13. THE AVERAGE AGE IS 29 DAYS AND [23:32] OUR AVERAGE DURATION TO COMPLETE THAT INTAKE PHASE IS 27 DAYS. SO WE'RE REALLY HAPPY TO REPORT THAT THESE NUMBERS ARE BACK [23:38] UNDER 30. I KNOW THERE WAS ABOUT A MONTH, MAYBE TWO MONTHS IN THERE WHERE WE WERE ABOVE 30. [23:43] SO WE'RE EXCITED TO BE BACK DOWN UNDER OUR 30 DAY LIMIT FOR [23:50] INTAKES. REGARDING OUR ADMIN INVESTIGATIONS, WE HAD 48 OPEN CASES AS OF END OF DAY ON [23:55] NOVEMBER 13TH. OUR AVERAGE AGE IS 244. I WILL CALL OUT THAT THAT IS [24:00] INCREASING AGAIN FROM LAST MONTH. I BELIEVE IT'S ABOUT 10-15 DAYS INCREASING FROM LAST MONTH'S [24:06] AVERAGE. OF THOSE 48 CASES, TWO OF THEM ARE CONSIDERED BACKLOG CASES. [24:15] 28 ARE CONSIDERED NONCOMPLIANT CASES. AND 18 ARE CONSIDERED OUR [24:20] CURRENT CASES. OF THOSE 48, 41 ARE CURRENTLY ASSIGNED OUT TO OUR INVESTIGATORS AND SEVEN OF THEM [24:26] ARE UNASSIGNED. I BELIEVE IT WAS NOT IN THE REPORT, BUT WE PREVIOUSLY TALKED [24:32] ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE HAD GOTTEN SOME NEW INVESTIGATORS IN WITH THOSE NEW SERGEANTS [24:37] TRANSITIONING IN OUR UNIT. SO WE'RE HAPPY TO REPORT THAT ONE OF THOSE SERGEANTS HAS NOW [24:42] BEEN ABLE TO START TAKING OUR ADMIN INVESTIGATIONS. WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE HOPEFULLY [24:47] ABLE TO TAKE ADMINISTRATIVE INVESTIGATIONS AS OF THE END OF THIS MONTH. AND OUR THIRD ONE IS SPENDING [24:54] ADDITIONAL TIME IN INTAKE TRAINING WHILE WE TRY TO GET HER [25:00] FULL TRAINING THROUGH INTAKE EXPEDITED DISPOSITIONS TO MOVE [25:07] HER THROUGH THE INVESTIGATIVE [25:13] PHASE. MOVING ON TO EXPEDITED DISPOSITIONS, WE HAVE FOUR CASES IN THIS CATEGORY. [25:18] 0 OF THEM ARE IN BACKLOG. VERY HAPPY TO REPORT THAT NUMBER FINALLY. WE HAVE ONE OF THE FOUR THAT ARE [25:24] CONSIDERED OUR NONCOMPLIANT CASES. AND THREE OF THE FOUR ARE CONSIDERED OUR CURRENT CASES. MOVING ON TO OUR LAST PORTION [25:30] WHICH IS OUR CASES THAT ARE IN SUPERVISORY REVIEW, JUST A REMINDER THAT THIS INCLUDES BOTH [25:36] ADMINISTRATIVE INVESTIGATIONS AND OUR EXPEDITED DISPOSITIONS, WE HAVE 194 CASES. [25:43] 63 OF THOSE CASES ARE CONSIDERED BACKLOG. 118 OF THOSE CASES ARE [25:50] CONSIDERED NONCOMPLIANT. AND 13 OF THOSE CASES ARE CONSIDERED CURRENT. [25:56] I DO HAVE, IT'S THE SAME SLIDE THAT WE PROVIDED LAST MONTH IN HERE, KIND OF EXPLAINING THE REASON FOR WHY THAT NUMBER IN [26:04] THAT SUPERVISORY REVIEW STAGE IS SO HIGH AND WHY IT CONTINUES TO INCREASE EACH MONTH. [26:11] THE ONLY THING I WOULD LIKE TO CALL OUT ON THIS SLIDE IS THE VERY LAST BULLET POINT HERE THAT [26:16] WE ADDED THIS MONTH. WITH THE LACK OF PERMANENT RESOURCES COMING, WE BELIEVE ONE OF OUR OPTIONS THAT WE MUST [26:24] EXPLORE AT THIS STAGE IS POTENTIALLY UTILIZING AN RFP TO [26:30] GET SOME OUTSIDE HELP TO HELP US CLEAR SOME CASES THROUGH THIS STAGE SO THAT THEY CAN MOVE FORWARD ONTO THE REVIEW PANEL [26:36] AND TO CHIEF'S OFFICE. MOVING ON TO OUR CHIEF'S OFFICE [26:46] STATISTICS, TOTAL ADMINISTRATIVE INVESTIGATION CASES CURRENTLY AT LOUDERMILL HEARINGS, WE HAVE [26:51] FOUR CASES CURRENTLY OUT AT LOUDERMILL HEARINGS. AND THEN WE HAVE 33 TOTAL CASES, [26:59] THAT IS NOT INCLUSIVE OF THE FOUR AT THE LOUDERMILL HEARINGS. [27:05] BUT WE HAVE 33 CURRENTLY AT CHIEF'S OFFICE. 23 OF THAT IS FROM OPCR AND TEN [27:11] IS FROM INTERNAL AFFAIRS. AGAIN, WE DO HAVE THE SAME SLIDE THAT WE HAD THE LAST MONTH, KIND [27:17] OF EXPLAINING WHAT IT ACTUALLY MEANS TO BE IN THAT CHIEF'S OFFICE STATUS AND THAT THERE'S A [27:23] VARIETY OF DIFFERENT STEPS BEYOND JUST HAVING A CHIEF REVIEW THAT CASE FILE. [27:29] INCLUDING DRAFTING REVIEW, DRAFTING AND REVIEW OF ALL OF THE CHIEF'S MEMOS OR WHAT WE CALL CORRECTIVE ACTION MEMOS AND [27:37] SENDING OUT DIFFERENT NOTIFICATIONS TO THE COMPLAINANTS, TO THE FOCUS [27:43] EMPLOYEES, IF THERE'S DISCIPLINE WE HAVE TO SEND NOTIFICATIONS TO HUMAN RESOURCES AND PAYROLL JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS [27:49] DOCUMENTED PROPERLY. AND ALL OF THOSE STEPS ARE ENCOMPASSED IN WHAT WE CALL CHIEF'S OFFICE STATUS. [27:55] SO JUST PROVIDING THAT CONTEXT. [28:00] WITH REGARDS TO GRIEVANCE AND ARBITRATIONS, WE DO HAVE FOUR CASES THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN A [28:06] DISCIPLINE-RELATED GRIEVANCE CATEGORY. THIS IS INCLUSIVE OF BOTH IA AND [28:14] OPCR CASES. WITH REGARDS TO DISCIPLINE-RELATED ARBITRATION, WE HAVE THREE CASES INCLUSIVE OF [28:20] BOTH IA AND OPCR THAT ARE AT THE ARBITRATION STAGE. I DO ALSO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT [28:28] WE PUBLISHED A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT DISCIPLINARY DECISIONS UP ON THE POLICE DISCIPLINE [28:35] DASHBOARD. THE LINK IS PROVIDED IN THIS POWERPOINT. IT IS ALSO IN THE REPORT. [28:42] AND ONLINE, FOR ANYONE THAT'S TRYING TO SEARCH, IF YOU JUST TYPE IN MPD POLICE DISCIPLINE [28:48] DASHBOARD, IT SHOULD BE T ONE THAT SHOWS UP RIGHT AWAY ON GOOGLE. WE DO HAVE 12 CASES HERE THAT [28:54] WERE RECENTLY PUBLISHED. ANY OF THE ONES THAT HAVE AN ASTERISK BY THEM ARE THE ONES [29:01] THAT WERE AN ADMINISTRATIVE INVESTIGATION THAT WENT THROUGH A PANEL. SO THOSE ARE CASES WHERE LIKELY [29:07] INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE ON THIS BOARD PROBABLY SAW THAT CASE THROUGH A PANEL. THE CASES THAT DON'T HAVE AN [29:14] ASTERISK ON THEM ARE CASES TYPICALLY THAT ARE EXPEDITED DISPOSITIONS THAT BYPASS THE [29:20] PANEL STAGE AND WENT STRAIGHT TO THE CHIEF'S OFFICE AND RESULTED IN A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WITH [29:26] THE DISCIPLINARY DECISION. THAT STILL GOES UP ON THE DASHBOARD, SO WE HAVE HIGHLIGHTED THOSE ONES HERE AS WELL. [29:36] MOVING ON JUST FOR SOME FURTHER CONTEXT, WE DO STILL HAVE 21 CASES THAT ARE PENDING REVIEW [29:43] FOR ANY POTENTIAL REDACTIONS FROM CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND [29:48] CITY CLERK'S OFFICE PRIOR TO PUBLICATION ON THE DASHBOARD, THE DISCIPLINE DASHBOARD. [29:54] 13 OF THOSE 21 ARE EXPEDITED DISPOSITIONS AND SEVEN OF THE 21 [29:59] ARE ADMINISTRATIVE INVESTIGATION CASES. SO AGAIN, THAT SEVEN ARE THINGS THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN THROUGH A [30:06] REVIEW PANEL. PRESUMABLY A REVIEW PANEL THAT HAD AT LEAST SOME MEMBERS OF [30:12] THIS BODY ON IT. MOVING ON TO OUR NORMAL KIND OF TREND DATA, WITH OUR INTAKE DATA [30:19] THESE ARE ALL SEPARATED OUT BY INCIDENT DATE WITH OUR OLDEST BEING AN INCIDENT DATE IN [30:25] JANUARY 2024. WE DO HAVE ALL OF OUR INTAKES [30:31] THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN PROGRESS SEPARATED OUT BY INCIDENT PRECINCT AS WELL. [30:36] I BELIEVE WE DID HAVE A BIT OF A SHIFTING THIS MONTH. [30:42] >> MOTION TO ADD TEN MORE MINUTES. >> THANK YOU FOR BEATING ME TO [30:48] IT. IS THERE A SECOND? >> SECOND. >> ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. [CHORUS OF AYES] ANY OPPOSED? [30:54] ANY ABSTENTIONS? MS. HASTINGS. >> I WAS JUST GOING TO HIGHLIGHT I THINK WE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF A [31:01] SHIFT THIS MONTH WITH WHICH PRECINCT HAD THE MOST INCIDENTS. [31:08] MOVING ON TO OUR ADMIN INVESTIGATION DATA, THIS IS ALL SEPARATED OUT AGAIN BY INCIDENT DATE. [31:13] LAST MONTH, WE HIGHLIGHTED THAT THERE'S NOTHING REMAINING IN THAT 2020 COLUMN. THIS MONTH, I'M GOING TO [31:19] HIGHLIGHT THAT THERE IS NOTHING REMAINING IN THAT 2021 COLUMN. AND THAT OUR 2022 AND 2023, I [31:25] GUESS THEY'RE NOT COLUMNS, BUT BARS ARE SHORTENING. [31:33] SO NOW WE ONLY HAVE THREE CASES IN EACH OF THOSE YEARS. SO WE'RE HOPING THAT THEY CONTINUE TO GO DOWN AND WE CAN HOPEFULLY REPORT THAT WE JUST [31:40] HAVE 2025 AND 2024 CASES OPEN VERY SOON. [31:48] MOVING ON TO OUR ADMIN INVESTIGATIONS SEPARATED OUT BY PRECINCT. THIS ONE LOOKS PRETTY SIMILAR TO [31:54] WHAT IT DID LAST MONTH. AGAIN JUST DUE TO THE NATURE OF [32:00] AN INVESTIGATION, SINCE TYPICALLY MOST OF THE CASES THAT WERE OPEN LAST MONTH ARE STILL OPEN THIS MONTH. [32:06] THIS CHART TENDS TO NOT CHANGE QUITE AS FREQUENTLY AS THAT INTAKE ONE DOES. [32:12] MOVING ON TO OUR BACKLOG UPDATE, DOWN AT THE BOTTOM, YOU'LL SEE OUR NOVEMBER 13TH, HOW WE DO [32:18] STILL HAVE THOSE TWO OPEN ADMINISTRATIVE INVESTIGATIONS THAT ARE STILL ONGOING FOR OUR [32:24] BACKLOG. [32:29] AND THEN, I THINK THIS IS OUR LAST ONE, THE PERCENTAGE OF OUR [32:36] BACKLOG CLEARED. A REMINDER THAT CLEARED MEANING IT IS IN ITS FINAL DISPOSITION STATE AT CLOSURE, WE ARE NOW UP [32:42] TO 58% OF OUR BACKLOG BEING FULLY CLEARED. [32:47] ALL RIGHT, THE LAST THING I WANT TO NOTE IS WE DO HAVE CHIEF'S RESPONSE TO THE RESOLUTION THAT [32:53] WAS MADE LAST MONTH. WE HAVE INCLUDED IT HERE, WE HAVE ALSO INCLUDED IT IN THE [33:00] REPORT. SO I'LL GIVE YOU GUYS A MOMENT TO READ THIS. I UNFORTUNATELY AM NOT ABLE TO [33:07] TAKE QUESTIONS ON THIS ONE TONIGHT. BUT IF THERE ARE QUESTIONS, WE CAN CERTAINLY REPORT THEM BACK [33:12] AND GET AN ANSWER DURING THE NEXT MEETING. [33:20] ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT, I BELIEVE THAT IS IT. I'M GOING TO LEAVE THIS UP IN [33:26] CASE ANYONE IS READING. >> THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS? [33:34] SEEING NO -- COMMISSIONER SCHANFIELD. >> MS. HASTINGS, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR INCLUDING IN PARTICULAR [33:40] WHICH CASES HAVE BEEN POSTED, THE CLOSED CASES, THAT'S REALLY HELPFUL. AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE OTHER [33:45] COMMISSIONERS TO LOOK AT THOSE AND IF THERE ARE ANY CASES THAT YOU'VE SAT ON, I FOUND IT REALLY ENLIGHTENING TO READ THE SUMMARY [33:52] OF WHAT HAPPENED. THAT WILL HELP US ON THE POLICE POLICY RESEARCH AND [33:57] RECOMMENDATIONS COMMITTEE TREMENDOUSLY. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ADDING THAT. I'M WONDERING HOW HEAVY OF A [34:03] LIFT IT WILL BE TO PROVIDE SYNOPSES LIKE OPCR DOES? [34:08] >> YEP, SO I CAN SPEAK A LITTLE BIT TO THAT. UNLIKE OPCR, WE DO NOT HAVE ANY [34:14] DATA STAFF IN OUR INTERNAL AFFAIRS BUREAU. THE ONLY PERSON THAT IS PULLING ANY OUNCE OF DATA IS MYSELF. [34:24] SO WHERE THAT WILL BE IS THAT WILL BE ANOTHER TASK THAT'S KIND OF ADDED ONTO THE MANY, MANY HATS THAT I CURRENTLY WEAR. [34:32] I HAVE BEEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE ON HOW WE CAN DO IT AND HOW WE CAN [34:37] STRATEGICALLY MAYBE KIND OF LIMIT HOW MUCH WORK THAT WOULD TAKE FOR US TO PROVIDE. [34:44] BUT AGAIN AS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT WITH THE STAFFING RESOURCES, I [34:51] DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S GOING TO BE AN IMMEDIATE ASK IN ORDER FOR US TO GET IT IMMEDIATELY WITH THIS REQUEST. >> COULD YOU SPEAK A LITTLE BIT [34:57] ABOUT THE BENCHMARK SYSTEM AND SORT OF WHAT'S COMING? >> YEP. I CAN TALK ABOUT THE BENCHMARK [35:02] SYSTEM. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE BENCHMARK [35:08] SYSTEM, WE ARE TRANSITIONING OUT OF OUR CURRENT RMS OR CASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AXON STANDARDS [35:14] AND OUR LEGACY SYSTEM PRACTICE MANAGER INTO A NEW SYSTEM CALLED [35:22] BENCHMARK. MYSELF AND ALANA STAR OVER IN OPCR HAVE BEEN PUTTING IN [35:28] EXTENSIVE WORK, I THINK FOR CLOSE TO PROBABLY ABOUT A YEAR AT LEAST, AT THIS RATE TRYING TO [35:34] MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE EVERY POSSIBLE FIELD IN THIS NEW SYSTEM FOR ALL OF THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF DATA THAT IS TYPICALLY [35:41] REQUESTED. WE'VE USED PREVIOUS CCPO REPORTS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DO HAVE [35:46] FIELDS THAT WE CAN QUERY AND GET EASILY ACCESSIBLE DATA FOR MOVING FORWARD WITH OUR CCPO [35:53] REPORTS. WE ALSO COMPARED IT TO THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND THE CONSENT DECREE TO MAKE SURE THAT [35:58] EVERY SINGLE REQUEST WITHIN BOTH OF THOSE DOCUMENTS OF SUMMARY DATA THAT WE DO NEED TO PROVIDE [36:05] HAS AN EASY QUERIABLE FIELD MEANING THAT'S SOMETHING WE [36:10] COULD PULL A REPORT ON IN A MATTER OF MINUTES OR MAYBE AN HOUR VERSUS HAVING TO MANUALLY [36:16] GO INTO OUR DIFFERENT CASE FILES AND TRY TO BUILD OUR OWN [36:21] SPREADSHEET AND TRY TO MANUALLY GATHER ALL OF THIS DATA LIKE WE'RE CURRENTLY DOING. SO WE TRIED OUR ABSOLUTE BEST [36:27] BETWEEN BOTH OF OUR TEAMS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE EVERY POSSIBLE REPORTING STATISTIC THAT WE CAN IMAGINE WE MIGHT BE [36:34] ASKED BUILT INTO THIS NEW BENCHMARK SYSTEM. WE'RE STILL QUITE A FEW MONTHS [36:40] OUT FROM IMPLEMENTATION OF THAT SYSTEM. BUT WE DID GET SOME DATES TODAY AND WE WILL HOPEFULLY HAVE A [36:46] PILOT UP AND RUNNING HERE WITHIN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS. [36:57] >> THANK YOU. I'LL DIRECT THE CLERK TO RECEIVE AND FILE THAT REPORT. >> THANK YOU. >> DID YOU WANT TO -- [37:02] >> I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION. >> I'M SORRY, GO AHEAD. >> MS. HASTINGS, AGAIN THANK YOU SO MUCH. [37:07] I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION FOR IA TO BEGIN PROVIDING [37:13] SYNOPSES OF CLOSED CASES. I UNDERSTAND THAT'S A HEAVY LIFT. BUT THAT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL [37:18] TO US. THEY WOULD BE MUCH LIKE OPCR DOES, ANONMISED SUMMARIES OF [37:23] CASES THAT HAVE BEEN FULLY INVESTIGATED, DELIBERATED BY A REVIEW PANEL, AND FINALIZED BY [37:29] THE POLICE CHIEF. HAVING THESE SUMMARIES WILL STRENGTHEN OUR OVERSIGHT WORK AND ALLOW US TO MAKE MORE [37:34] INFORMED DECISIONS. COULD I HAVE A SECOND? >> IS THERE A SECOND? >> SECOND. >> OKAY. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? [37:45] NO DISCUSSION? OKAY. CLERK, I'LL HAVE YOU CALL THE [37:51] ROLL ON THE MOTION. >> COMMISSIONER SCHANFIELD. [37:56] >> YES. >> NEWMAN. >> YES. >> CLEMENT. [38:01] >> YEP. >> BAKER. >> YES. >> ZYLA. [38:06] >> YES. >> CANADAY. >> AYE. >> BARTZ. >> YES. >> SMITH. [38:12] >> YES. >> VICE CHAIR OLSEN. >> YES. >> AND CHAIR REEVES. >> YES. >> THERE ARE TEN AYES. [38:18] >> THANK YOU, THE AYES HAVE IT. THAT MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU. NEXT UP IS THE MONTHLY REPORT [38:24] FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT'S IMPLEMENTATION UNIT. COMMANDER WILKES IS HERE TO PRESENT TODAY. [38:29] I'VE ALLOCATED TEN MINUTES FOR THIS REPORT. [38:44] >> DO YOU MIND IF I CAN CALL -- [38:49] TO ANSWER THAT PREVIOUS QUESTION OR ADDRESS THE PREVIOUS COMMENT. BEFORE I GET INTO THIS [38:54] PRESENTATION. [39:05] >> GOOD EVENING. I JUST WANTED TO COMMENT BRIEFLY [39:11] ON THE LAST RESOLUTION AND MOTION AND JUST REITERATE THE [39:16] STAFFING SHORTAGE IA FACES. EVERY DAY WE ARE PRIORITIZING WHAT FIRE WE'RE GOING TO PUT OUT [39:23] AND REALLY TRYING TO PRIORITIZE [39:28] THIS BACKLOG OF CASES AND TO GET THROUGH THE CASES IN A WAY THAT STILL SHOWS THE COURTESY TO BOTH [39:36] THE COMPLAINANTS AND THE OFFICERS IN A WAY THAT IS NOT RUSHED BUT IS STILL TRANSPARENT. [39:42] AND FOLLOWS THE RULES, RIGHT? [39:51] MS. HASTINGS VERY SIGNIFICANTLY UNDERREPRESENTS THE TIME COMMITMENT THAT SHE PUTS IN TO [39:58] WORK THAT IS NOT WITHIN HER JOB DESCRIPTION AND DOES NOT GET [40:04] PAID FOR AND SHE'S BEEN DOING THAT FOR LONGER THAN A YEAR. [40:13] AND TO BE TASKED WITH ANOTHER TASK THAT IS OUTSIDE OF HER JOB DESCRIPTION BECAUSE ESSENTIALLY [40:18] WHAT THAT MOTION IS SEEKING BECAUSE SHE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN DO THAT TYPE OF WORK. [40:24] BECAUSE WE HAVE INTAKE INVESTIGATORS, WE HAVE [40:30] SERGEANTS, WE HAVE A LIEUTENANT, A COMMANDER, WE HAVE THIS NEW ADMIN PERSONNEL WHICH WE JUST [40:38] DISCUSSED, WE'RE GLAD TO HAVE WHO IS GOING TO HOPEFULLY TAKE OVER FOR AN INDIVIDUAL WHO CAN LITERALLY RETIRE AT ANY DAY AND [40:43] IS VERY HAPPY TO HAVE THIS NEW ADMIN PERSONNEL. AND HONESTLY, IT'S JUST PLUGGING [40:50] HOLES EVERY DAY TO GET ANY REGULAR WORK DONE BECAUSE OF THE [40:56] ADDITIONAL WORK THAT WE ARE BEING TASKED TO DO ON ANY GIVEN [41:01] DAY DONE, BENCHMARK, AUDITS, THERE'S INCOMINGS, PROBABLY 2 TO 3 TIMES A DAY. [41:07] SHE HAS BEEN BENCHMARK MEETINGS EVERY DAY, PROBABLY 2 TO 3 TIMES A DAY THAT SHE'S MANDATORILY [41:20] REQUIRED TO GO TO SO WE CAN GET THIS OFF THE GROUND. I'M NOT TRYING TO SAY THAT WE CANNOT EVENTUALLY DO THESE [41:27] THINGS. BECAUSE ABSOLUTELY WE WANT, I WANT, MY WHOLE GOAL IS TO BE TRANSPARENT. [41:32] AND I THINK ANYONE IN MPD WILL TELL YOU I AM THE MOST HONEST [41:37] TRANSPARENT PERSON THERE IS IN MPD RIGHT NOW. [41:43] BUT WHAT IS HAPPENING IS WE ARE R RISKING NOT GETTING DONE IA'S [41:49] JOB WHICH IS TO REVIEW COMPLAINTS AND GIVE THE PUBLIC [41:55] WHAT THEY ARE ASKING FOR AT THE EXPENSE OF THINGS SUMMARIZING THINGS THAT HAPPENED YEARS AGO. [42:04] AND WHAT I REALLY WANT TO DO IS GIVE THE INDIVIDUALS YEARS AGO WHO MADE COMPLAINTS AND THE OFFICERS A RESOLUTION. [42:13] AND IN ORDER TO DO THAT, I HAVE TO TASK MY PEOPLE IN IA TO DO THE WORK INCLUDING MYSELF AND [42:19] I'M PART OF THAT. BUT WHEN WE ARE TRYING TO ANSWER [42:26] THESE QUESTIONS OR PROVIDE DATA ON ANY GIVEN OCCASION BECAUSE IT COMES FROM A HIGHER POWER, [42:32] RIGHT, CITY COUNCIL, OCS, WHOMEVER, CITY AUDITOR, UCMT, [42:38] AND I MEAN I CAN'T EVEN GIVE YOU THE NUMBER OF DATA REQUESTS IA GETS ON ANY GIVEN WEEK. [42:48] WE ARE UNABLE TO GET THROUGH OUR PRIMY MISSION. AND I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT [42:54] STATEMENT SO YOU UNDERSTAND THE GRAVITY OF WHAT THOSE NUMBERS [43:00] REPRESENT. SUPERVISORY REVIEW IS MS. HASTINGS. YOU SAW THE BACKLOG IN [43:06] SUPERVISORY REVIEW. IT'S MS. HASTINGS, A LIEUTENANT, AND A COMMANDER. THE LIEUTENANT AND THE COMMANDER [43:12] ARE NEW, THEY CANNOT PROPERLY GET THROUGH A SUPERVISORY REVIEW [43:19] OF A CASE IN ANY MEANINGFUL WAY AT THIS POINT IN TIME WHICH IS WHY WE ARE LOOKING TO DO AN RFP [43:26] TO RESOURCE OUTSIDE COUNSEL WHICH I JUST THINK IS A BAND AID [43:32] ON A GUSHING WOUND. SO I JUST WANT TO REITERATE THE [43:37] IMPORTANCE OF AT SOME POINT LETTING INTERNAL AFFAIRS DO THE [43:44] JOB THAT WE WANT INTERNAL AFFAIRS TO DO WHICH IS INVESTIGATE MISCONDUCT CASES SO [43:50] THAT WE CAN RESOLVE THE MISCONDUCT CASES WITH THE DECENCY THAT THEY REQUIRE AND [43:57] GIVE THE PUBLIC AND THE OFFICERS THE ANSWERS. [44:05] THANK YOU. YES, I APOLOGIZE. I'M BUREAU CHIEF A-Y-O-D-E-L-E. [44:16] LAST NAME F-A-M-A-D-U. [44:22] >> THANKS. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR AND COMMISSIONERS. I'M GOING TO GIVE A REPORT ON [44:29] THE MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT IMPLEMENT UNIT. I HAVEN'T BEEN HERE IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS. [44:35] BUT FOR THE MOST PART WE HAVE BEEN FOCUSING ON POLICY SO THAT'S WHERE WE'VE BEEN AT FOR QUITE SOME TIME HERE. [44:42] OUR AGENDA FOR NOW IS WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THE PREVIOUS REQUESTS THAT WAS ASKED THE LAST [44:47] TIME I WAS HERE. SOME KEY UPDATES WITH COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT WHERE WE'RE AT, [44:53] HEALTH AND WELLNESS, TOUCH ON THAT PORTION, TALK ABOUT POLICY, SOME OF OUR APPROVED POLICIES. [44:58] AND THEN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT TRAINING, WHERE WE'RE AT ON THE TRAINING PROCESS, WHAT'S ON THE [45:04] DOCKET, AND DATA JUST A REITERATION ON OUR SYSTEMS AND WHERE WE'RE AT AND THEN NEXT STEPS. [45:13] THE PREVIOUS REQUEST, IF I CAN REMEMBER CORRECTLY WHEN I WAS HERE, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT RIDE ALONGS, SO I WANT TO GIVE SOME [45:19] INFORMATION AND GIVE CONTEXT HERE. SERGEANT WILLIE RIGHT WITHIN THE [45:26] IMPLEMENTATION UNIT, IF YOU WANT TO REACH OUT DIRECTLY TO HIM, HE WILL HELP YOU ASSIST WITH SCHEDULING RIDE ALONGS. [45:32] BUT IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT A PARTICULAR PRECINCT, YOU CAN ALSO CALL ONE OF THOSE DESK OFFICERS AND THEN THEY CAN GET YOU SIGNED UP AS WELL. [45:39] SO SERGEANT WRIGHT IS WILLING TO TAKE YOU ON A RIDE ALONG IF YOU WANT TO AND ASSIST IN THE [45:44] TRANSITION WITH CONNECTING YOU WITH A PRECINCT. OTHERWISE YOU CAN JUST CALL THE [45:49] PRECINCT DIRECTLY YOURSELF. WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT COMMUNITY MEMBERS ATTENDING TRAININGS, MPD TRAININGS. [45:57] AND RIGHT NOW WE WHAVE BEEN WORKING ON A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT [46:03] AVENUES. ONE OF THE WAYS IS THE TRAINING UNIT, COMMANDER BROWN. THEY'RE WORKING ON DIFFERENT AVENUES WHERE COMMUNITY MEMBERS [46:10] CAN COME. SO I WILL HAVE TO GET AN UPDATE TO COMMANDER BROWN OR IT WILL [46:15] HAVE TO COME THROUGH COMMANDER BROWN. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE TRAINING UNIT ON [46:22] DEVELOPING MAYBE A CITIZEN'S ACADEMY WHERE WE CAN DEVELOP MORE OPPORTUNITIES AND GET MORE COMMUNITY MEMBERS INVOLVED IN [46:27] OUR PROCESS. BUT THAT'S IN THE WORKS JUST SO THE NEXT UPDATE, NOT UPDATE. [46:35] SO THAT'S SOME OF THE DIFFERENT AVENUES WE'RE LOOKING AT AS IT RELATES TO ATTENDING MPD TRAININGS. [46:48] COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, THIS IS WHEN A PORTION THAT WE'VE BEEN [46:54] WORKING ON FOR PROBABLY SIX MONTHS NOW AND THAT WAS REVAMPING AND REESTABLISHING OUR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT UNIT. [46:59] WE HAVE TWO OF THE THREE POSITIONS FILLED. RITA WHO'S SITTING IN THE BACK HERE, SHE IS ONE OF OUR [47:06] COMMUNITY SPECIALISTS WHO JUST CAME ON BOARD. SO THIS IS HER FIRST TIME ATTENDING THE CCPO MEETING, BUT JUST WANTED TO GIVE A WARM [47:12] WELCOME TO HER. AND SO WE HAVE BEEN GOING OUT, INTRODUCING OURSELVES TO THE COMMUNITY, WE HAVE ONE PERSON [47:18] THAT'S CURRENTLY IN BACKGROUNDS AND SO ONCE WE GET THAT PERSON FULLY ON BOARD, WE'LL [47:23] REESTABLISH THOSE RELATIONSHIPS AND RIGHT NOW, THE TWO THAT ARE CURRENTLY THERE, THEY'RE ALREADY INTERACTING WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND TRYING TO SEE HOW WE [47:30] BEST FIT. WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING WITHIN THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT UNIT IS [47:36] CREATING A PLAN, AN OVERALL PLAN. WHAT ARE OUR GOALS, WHERE DO WE SEE OURSELVES, HOW CAN WE BE [47:42] TRANSPARENT, HOW CAN WE INCLUDE AND GET THE MOST MAJORITY OUT OF THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING SO WE HAVE CREATED A PLAN, WE HAVE [47:48] BEEN WORKING WITH DIFFERENT UNITS OR DIFFERENT UNITS WITHIN MPD ON THINGS SUCH AS MENTORING [47:56] PROGRAM, THAT'S WITH THE TRAINING UNIT RIGHT NOW. DEVELOPING A CULTURE EDUCATION [48:02] SERIES. THIS IS WHERE WE CREATE A VIDEO, AND THIS IS ALSO WORKING WITH THE TRAINING UNIT AS WELL. IT'S PRODUCED BY MPD TRAINING [48:08] UNIT TO EDUCATE OFFICERS ON DIFFERENT COMMUNITY GROUPS, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT DIFFERENT AVENUES SO WE CAN BE MOST [48:15] EDUCATED. IF YOU LOOK AT THAT LAST BUCKET THERE, WE HAVE ON TOP OF THE [48:22] CULTURAL EDUCATION SERIES AND THE MENTORING AND SITTING DOWN WITH DIFFERENT YOUTH GROUPS AND [48:27] ENGAGING YOUTH GROUP POLICY FEEDBACK, THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON REALLY TRYING TO GET THOSE GROUPS OUT THERE WHO CAN TARGET [48:33] YOUTH SO WE CAN BRING THEM TO THE TABLE AS WELL WHEN WE'RE DOING POLICY. WE'VE ALSO BEEN OUTSIDE WITH [48:40] DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOOD OS AT THEIR MEETINGS JUST GIVING THEM A REGULAR UPDATE AS NECESSARY [48:46] AND FELT TRYING TO PULL ON THEIR RESOURCES AS WELL. THE SHERIDAN NEIGHBORHOOD [48:51] MEETING, THIS IS BEFORE I HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT IT, BUT THAT WAS CANCELED AND RESCHEDULED. [48:58] BACK IN AUGUST, WE HAD TO CANCEL OUR AS FAR AS OFFICER WELLNESS AND SUPPORT, WE HAD TO CANCEL [49:04] OUR FAMILY FIELD DAY AND THAT WAS RESCHEDULED FOR SATURDAY, [49:11] OCTOBER 18TH AT THIS LOOKS LIKE IT WAS AT HAMILTON SCHOOL. AS IT RELATES TO OFFICER [49:16] WELLNESS, I THINK ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WAS WHAT ARE WE DOING WITH OFFICER WELLNESS. WE'VE RECENTLY HAD SEVERAL [49:22] POLICIES APPROVED RELATED TO OFFICER WELLNESS. AND I THINK THE LAST TIME WE WERE HERE, WE WERE WORKING ON A [49:28] POLICY SO THAT WE COULD START IMPLEMENTING OTHER PLANS AROUND OFFICER WELLNESS AND SUPPORT. SO RIGHT NOW WE HAVE MEMBER [49:34] HEALTH AND WELLNESS, MEMBERS [49:39] MEDICAL INFORMATION AND INJURY RESPONSE AS IT RELATES TO HEALTH AND WELLNESS THAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO APPROVE. JUST TO REITERATE, THESE [49:45] POLICIES ARE APPROVED BY ALEFA BUT THEY'RE NOT EFFECTIVE UNTIL THE WHOLE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN TRAINED ON THOSE POLICIES. [49:55] AS FAR AS THE POLICY UPDATE, SOME OF THE POLICIES THAT WE HAVE APPROVED IS USE OF FORCE, [50:02] CRISIS INTERVENTION, MISSION, VISION, VALUES, AND GOALS, NONDISCRIMINATORY POLICING, PROCEDURAL JUSTICE, EMERGENCY [50:08] MEDICAL RESPONSE, BODY-WORN CAMERA, THAT'S THE BWC, AND THEN OFFICER WELLNESS WHICH WE JUST [50:13] TOUCHED ON. AND I THINK WE HAVE A FEW MORE THAT WE HAVE RECENTLY GOT APPROVED AND WE'LL ADD THAT TO [50:18] OUR NEXT UPDATE. BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS SCAN THE QR CODE TO SEE OUR MOST RECENT [50:28] UPDATES. WHILE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT POLICY, WE WANT TO THANK THE CCPO AS WELL BECAUSE YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN TREMENDOUS IN GIVING US FEEDBACK IN A TIMELY MANNER [50:36] AND TONS OF FEEDBACK AT THAT. BUT JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE HARD WORK THAT YOU GUYS HAVE PUT IN AS WELL. [50:45] AND LET'S SEE, WE'RE AT APPROVED POLICIES. ALSO WE WANT TO REITERATE, WE [50:51] ARE TRYING TO GIVE CCPO AN ADVANCED NOTICE OF UPDATES AS [50:57] SOON AS WE CAN LIKE WE DID WITH THE IMMIGRATION POLICY SO THAT YOU GUYS CAN BEGIN YOUR WORK AS WELL. WHEN WE LOOK AT THE TRAINING [51:04] UPDATES, RIGHT NOW WE HAVE THE CRITICAL INCIDENT POLICY, POLICE [51:10] MISCONDUCT POLICIES AND ENGAGING WITH MINORS THAT ARE STILL AWAITING APPROVAL SO WE CANNOT [51:16] START DEVELOPING A TRAINING UNTIL THOSE POLICIES ARE APPROVED. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE CURRENT [51:22] TRAINING THAT'S IN DEVELOPMENT WHICH WOULD BE OUR BODY-WORN CAMERA AND CAR CAMERA POLICIES, I KNOW WE WERE TALKING ABOUT [51:30] ACRONYMS LAST TIME, THE BWC AND ICC, BODY-WORN CAMERA AND IN-CAR [51:39] CAMERA. THE EARLY INTERVENTION SYSTEMS AND WELLNESS, WE STARTED THAT [51:45] TRAINING TODAY. THE FIELD TRAINING OFFICER, THEY'RE STARTING THAT TRAINING. [51:50] NONDISCRIMINATORY POLICING, AND STOP, SEARCH, AND ARREST, AND [51:58] SUPERVISOR FORCE REVIEW, THOSE ARE ALL STARTING RIGHT NOW. [52:05] USE OF FORCE, SUPERVISOR LEADERSHIP, AND CRISIS INTERVENTION TRAINING ARE TRAININGS WE'VE ALL BEEN THROUGH [52:10] ALREADY AND THOSE ARE APPROVED ALREADY BECAUSE WE'VE ALL WENT [52:16] THROUGH THE TRAINING. WHEN YOU LOOK AT OUR DATA SYSTEM, I KEEP THIS UP HERE BECAUSE I'M HOPING PHOTO CONTINUOUSLY UPDATE THIS SLIDE [52:21] AND CHANGE IT ACCORDING TO WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. IT IS A LONG HAUL BECAUSE WE ARE REVAMPING AND DOING AN OVERHAUL [52:27] TO OUR DATA SYSTEMS TO MAKE SURE WE CAN CARRY OUT THE PARAMETERS OF SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND [52:33] CONSENT DECREE AND MAKE SURE OVERALL, WE ARE IMPROVING THE USER EXPERIENCE AND INCREASING [52:41] TRANSPARENCY AND DATA USABILITY FOR US AND THE COMMUNITY. SO JUST WANTED TO PUT THIS UP HERE AS A REITERATION, WE HAVE [52:47] AN APPROVED PLAN, BUT WE ARE WORKING WITH ALEFA ON UPDATING OUR DASHBOARDS, UPDATING THE WAY [52:55] WE COLLECT INFORMATION AND THE SYSTEMS THAT HOUSE THAT INFORMATION AS WELL. IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT OUR [53:02] PUBLISHED REPORTS USE OF FORCE AND DE-ESCALATION POLICY VIOLATION, IT'S LOCATED AT THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS WEBSITE AT [53:08] THE BOTTOM. OUR REPORTS ARE LIVE AT THAT WEBSITE. SO THIS IS A REITERATION SLIDE. [53:15] THIS WAS ON THE PREVIOUS UPDATE AS WELL. AND ONCE WE HAVE THOSE DASH [53:22] BOARDS UPDATED OR WHATNOT, WE'LL MAKE SURE TO GIVE AN UPDATE HERE SO YOU GUYS WOULD BE ABLE TO SEE [53:28] IT IN LIVE TIME. SO NEXT STEPS FOR US, WE'RE CONTINUOUSLY ENHANCING OUR [53:34] PROJECT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS. JUST TO MAKE IT MORE QUICKLY AND [53:40] EFFECTIVE FOR ALL. AGAIN, THERE'S A BIG, WE HAVE SO MANY FIRES, SO MANY THINGS, SO [53:46] MANY HOOPS, SO MANY HURDLES THAT WE HAVE TO GET OVER IN THE [53:51] SYSTEMS WE HAVE AND THE SYSTEMS WE'RE LOOKING INTO ARE GOING TO BE PART OF IT, BUT IT'S ALSO A LONG PROCESS. [53:56] SO WE'RE USING DATA TO INFORM OUR DECISIONS AND DEVELOP MEASURABLE OUTCOMES AND FOSTER [54:02] DEEPER COLLABORATIONS AND REDUCE SILOS BETWEEN US AND THE COMMUNITY. SO JUST TRYING TO INCREASE THAT TRANSPARENCY. [54:08] THAT'S ALL I HAVE. >> THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS? [54:15] >> JUST BEFORE I FORGET, IF YOU GUYS EVER WANTED TO JUST RANDOMLY SHOOT US AN EMAIL IF [54:20] YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS RELATED TO WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, OUR LEADERSHIP EMAIL IS HERE AND IT GOES TO FOLKS FROM DATA, [54:26] COMMUNITY, IT'S AN EMAIL THAT ALL OF THE PEOPLE IN LEADERSHIP WITHIN IMPLEMENTATION UNIT HAVE. SO WE'LL ALL GET A CHANCE TO [54:32] LOOK AT IT AND WE CAN INTERNALIZE AND RESPOND BACK. >> THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER CANADAY. [54:37] >> THANK YOU. AND THANK YOU FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION UNIT UPDATE. IF EVERYBODY WOULD INDULGE ME [54:43] FOR JUST ONE MINUTE, I WANT TO CONTINUE TO DO THINGS A LITTLE BIT OUT OF ORDER HERE WITH WE [54:50] HEARD FROM THE BUREAU CHIEF AS PART OF THIS PRESENTATION, SO THIS IS MY FIRST CHANCE TO [54:55] RESPOND. I JUST WANTED TO GO BACK AND MAKE A BRIEF RESPONSE TO THAT, IF THAT'S ACCEPTABLE. [55:02] FIRST, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE PERSPECTIVE AND COMMENTS THAT YOU ADDED ABOUT THE [55:08] WORKLOAD CONCERNS. AND OBVIOUSLY, YOU'VE GOT TEN COMMISSIONERS UP HERE. I CAN'T SPEAK FOR ANYBODY BUT [55:16] MYSELF, BUT I FELT COMPELLED TO SPEAK BECAUSE I WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT I EMPHATICALLY HERE YOU AND [55:23] RESPECT EVERYTHING YOU SAID AND WOULD SUPPORT ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO TRY TO SOLVE THOSE PROBLEMS. [55:29] BUT I ALSO WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT WE OR I, MY PERSPECTIVE ON THAT [55:35] MOTION WOULD BE THE SAME IF WE WERE VOTING NOW. AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS I'M [55:42] CONVINCED BECAUSE OF EVERYTHING YOU'VE SAID THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO FIND A WAY TO GET THOSE [55:49] SUMMARIES AND THAT INFORMATION WITHOUT MORE PEOPLE THAN THE PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM PERHAPS [55:54] HEARING THAT YOU NEED ADDITIONAL STAFF TO DO THAT AND TO DO ALL OF THE OTHER IMPORTANT WORK [55:59] THAT'S HAPPENING. AND SO, I THINK WE CAN BE ON THE SAME SIDE I GUESS IS WHAT I'M TRYING TO SUGGEST AS AT LEAST MY [56:05] OWN PERSONAL WAY THAT I'M LOOKING AT THE FACTORS THAT CAME OUT IN THAT DISCUSSION. AND I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT [56:12] ENOUGH AND THAT MAYBE WE ALL WEREN'T THINKING OF IT THAT WAY WHEN WE VOTED SO THAT'S WHY I'M TRYING TO TAKE US BACK THERE. [56:21] AND BECAUSE IT WAS SPECIFIC TO YOUR POSITION, MS. HASTINGS, AND [56:27] WE'VE SEEN YOU HERE REPORTING, I WANT TO BE CLEAR I'VE ALWAYS BEEN VERY IMPRESSED AND VERY HAPPY WITH THE INFORMATION THAT [56:32] YOU PROVIDE TO US. NONE OF THIS IS TO SUGGEST THAT THERE ARE CONCERNS WITH HOW YOU'RE SPENDING YOUR TIME OR THE [56:38] INFORMATION YOU'RE CHOOSING TO GIVE US. THE LAST PIECE I WANTED TO ADD TO THIS BECAUSE I AM ON THE PPRR [56:48] COMMITTEE, IT'S BECOME CLEAR THAT THERE'S A NEW DYNAMIC BETWEEN CASES THAT ARE GOING THROUGH THE OPCR SIDE AND THE IA [56:56] SIDE OF THE PROCESS. AND THAT WASN'T TRUE WHEN I STARTED REVIEWING CASES A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. [57:03] IT DIDN'T REALLY MATTER FROM MY PERSPECTIVE WHICH SIDE OF THE PROCESS A PARTICULAR CAME IN [57:09] THROUGH BECAUSE THE INFORMATION WE GOT FROM EVERYBODY WAS WONDERFUL AND THE SYSTEM WORKED. [57:17] BUT NOW THAT WE HAVE TREMENDOUS NEW RESOURCES BEING PUT ON THE CASES THAT ARE GOING THROUGH THE [57:23] OPCR SIDE, IT IS A REAL PROBLEM THAT WE DON'T HAVE THAT SAME DATA ON THE IA SIDE. SO AGAIN, SPEAKING FOR MYSELF, [57:32] I'D BE HAPPY TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS AND FIGURE OUT, I DON'T WANT TO PRETEND THAT I KNOW [57:39] ENOUGH THAT I CAN DIAGNOSE THE STAFFING PROBLEM FROM WHERE I'M SITTING RIGHT NOW. BUT I'M CERTAINLY WILLING TO BE [57:45] PART OF THAT CONVERSATION AND HELP IA GET THE RESOURCES IT NEEDS TO ANALYZE THAT DATA [57:50] BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT TO THIS COMMISSION. >> AGREED. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? [57:57] COMMENTS? COMMISSIONER NEWMAN. >> HELLO. [58:02] REGARDING ALEFA AND THE POLICY UPDATES THAT WERE APPROVED, WHAT [58:08] ARE THE NEXT STEPS OF CREATING THOSE TRAINING PROCESSES AND WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE FOR TIMELINE FOR THE ACTUAL OFFICERS [58:14] THAT WILL BE TRAINED BY THESE METHODS? >> WHEN YOU SAY WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS, SO FROM POLICY, ONCE [58:20] WE HAVE AN APPROVED POLICY, THEY START TO DRAFT THE TRAINING. THE TRAINING GOES BACK TO ALEFA [58:26] TO SEE IF THE TRAINING ACTUALLY HAS BEEN INFLUENCED OR HAS THE POLICY INCORPORATED INTO IT. [58:32] AND ONCE WE HAVE THAT, THEN WE CAN START NOT JUST SCHEDULE THE TRAINING DAYS, BUT WE CAN START [58:38] PUTTING OFFICERS THROUGH THE TRAINING. AND THEN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF IT. >> IS THAT LIKE -- I DON'T KNOW [58:44] YOU PROBABLY DON'T KNOW EXACT DATES. BUT I'M JUST SAYING LIKE A WINDOW OF LIKE SIX MONTHS TWO A [58:50] WHOLE OTHER YEAR? BECAUSE I KNOW WHEN THEY DID HAVE THE EVENT THAT ALEFA WAS AT [58:56] LUCY LANY, I DID ATTEND, BUT IT SEEMED SO FAR OUT BEFORE WE COULD GET EVEN APPROVED THE WAY [59:02] THEY WERE TALKING. AND NOW WE'RE HERE, I'M TRYING TO SEE IS THAT SOMETHING COMING [59:07] REAL SOON? >> WELL, LET ME SAY THIS, WE SET DEADLINES FOR OURSELVES, INTERNAL DEADLINES, WE CREATE [59:13] TRAINING PLANS. WE ATTEMPT TO DO THE BEST WE CAN. BUT YOU NEVER REALLY KNOW HOW LONG A POLICY IS GOING TO TAKE [59:18] TO BE DEVELOPED OR APPROVED IN THAT PROCESS, BECAUSE WE HAD USE OF FORCE THAT TOOK OVER A YEAR JUST TO GET AN APPROVED POLICY. [59:25] SO WE CAN SET A DATE WHICH WE HAVE, WE'VE SET TRAINING DATES BUT THEY'RE TENTATIVE DATES [59:30] BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHEN THAT POLICY WOULD ACTUALLY BE APPROVED. WE HAVE DATES SET FOR TRAINING, BUT IF WE DON'T HAVE THAT POLICY [59:36] IN A TIMELY MANNER, IT'S HARD TO DEVELOP THE TRAINING AND THEN CARRY IT OUT BY THAT DATE. SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, IT'S [59:42] ALL OVER THE PLACE BECAUSE WE NEVER REALLY KNOW WHEN A POLICY WILL BE APPROVED. [59:48] SO WE'RE DOING THE BEST WE CAN TO SAY USE OF FORCE AND STOP, [59:55] SEARCH, AND ARREST THOSE ARE REALLY BIG POLICIES, IT MIGHT TAKE US OVER A YEAR, IT MIGHT [1:00:00] TAKE JUST AS LONG WITH THIS ONE, BUT RIGHT NOW WE'RE ANALYZING, REEVALUATING, AND TRYING TO DO [1:00:06] THE BEST WE CAN WITH WHAT WE HAVE. IT DOESN'T REALLY ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, WE SET DATES, BUT THEY'RE TENTATIVE. [1:00:11] >> SO BASED OFF THIS SLIDE, IT'S NOT APPROVED BY ALEFA AT THIS MOMENT. >> SO THE POLICY IS APPROVED, [1:00:18] THEN THEY START DEVELOPING TRAINING. AND THEN THE TRAINING DATES ARE ALREADY SET. [1:00:23] ONCE WE GET THIS TRAINING APPROVED BY ALEFA, WE CAN JUST KEEP THAT DATE, SAY IT'S MARCH 2025, RIGHT, SO ONE OF THE [1:00:31] TRAININGS WAS, I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT ONE OF THE TRAININGS WERE. BUT SAY IT'S SUPERVISORS LEADERSHIP, RIGHT, AND WE HAVE THAT APPROVED POLICY, BUT NO ONE [1:00:37] HAS BEEN THROUGH IT, AND WE SAY MARCH 2025, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT TRAINING. [1:00:42] WELL WE JUST HAVE TO HAVE THE TRAINING APPROVED BY ALE IF -- [1:00:48] ALEFA BY A CERTAIN DATE OTHERWISE WE'RE PUSHING THAT TRAINING AS WE HAVE DONE OTHER TRAININGS. >> IS THERE ANY WAY THAT WE'RE [1:00:54] ABLE TO KIND OF FROM THE SIDELINES VIEW WHAT THEY'RE POTENTIALLY CREATING FOR THE [1:01:02] TRAINING PROCESS BEFORE IT'S ACTUALLY IMPLEMENTED TO THE OFFICERS? [1:01:07] >> I GUESS I COULDN'T ANSWER THAT QUESTION, I WOULD HAVE TO GO TO THE CITY ATTORNEY'S [1:01:12] OFFICE, THAT WOULDN'T BE SOMETHING I COULD ANSWER. BUT I WILL TAKE THAT BACK AND THAT WOULD BE ON MY NEXT UPDATE. [1:01:17] >> THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. I'LL ASK THE CLERK TO RECEIVE [1:01:23] AND FILE THAT REPORT. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. THE NEXT REPORT IS FROM OUR POLICE POLICY RESEARCH AND [1:01:28] RECOMMENDATIONS COMMITTEE. THAT REPORT WILL BEGIN BY COMMITTEE CHAIR, COMMISSIONER SCHANFIELD. THERE ARE FIVE MINUTES [1:01:34] ALLOCATED. >> I WILL DO MY BEST. THANK YOU, CHAIR. I WILL DO MY BEST TO USE MY QUICKEST SPEAKING VOICE. >> OKAY. [1:01:40] >> GET IT ALL IN. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. THE POLICE POLICY RESEARCH AND [1:01:45] RECOMMENDATIONS COMMITTEE REVIEWS MPD POLICIES, LEVERAGES LESSONS LEARNED THROUGH REVIEW PANELS AND WORKS WITH OPCR TO [1:01:53] RESEARCH INNOVATIVE PRACTICES TO PROVIDE SUBSTANTIVE RECOMMENDATIONS SO WE CIVILIANS CAN HAVE AN IMPACTFUL ROLE IN [1:02:00] TRANSFORMING THE CULTURE OF MPD. COMMISSIONER CANADAY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR COMMENTS. [1:02:05] I WOULD ECHO THOSE AS WELL FOR CHIEF AMADU. OUR MOST RECENT WORK HAS BEEN TO [1:02:11] REVIEW 9-401, THE POLICY ON IMMIGRATION. AND BEFORE I DIVE INTO THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUMMARY OF [1:02:17] THOSE, I JUST WANTED TO START WITH THE FAMOUS QUOTE BY [1:02:22] MARTIN -- BECAUSE I THINK IT REALLY SPEAKS TO WHY WE'RE DOING THIS WORK. [1:02:28] FIRST THEY CAME FOR THE SOCIALISTS AND THEY DID NOT SPEAK OUT BECAUSE I WAS NOT A SOCIALIST. THEN THEY CAME FOR THE TRADE [1:02:33] UNIONISTS AND I DID NOT SPEAK OUT BECAUSE I WAS NOT A TRADE UNIONISTS. THEN THEY CAME FOR THE JEWS AND I DID NOT SPEAK OUT BECAUSE I [1:02:39] WAS NOT A JEW. THEN THEY CAME FOR ME, AND THERE WAS NO ONE LEFT TO SPEAK FOR ME. WE'RE COMMITTED, AND I'LL SPEAK [1:02:45] FOR MYSELF, BUT I KNOW WE'VE DISCUSSED THIS AT THE PPRR, THAT WE'RE REALLY COMMITTED TO MAKING [1:02:51] SURE THAT MPD AND OUR COMMUNITY HERE IN MINNEAPOLIS IS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY. [1:02:57] AND WE'RE ABLE TO MAKE THIS CITY A SAFE PLACE FOR EVERYONE. [1:03:03] SO WHEN WE REVIEWED 9-401, WE LOOKED AT OTHER CITIES. [1:03:08] WE LOOKED AT COMMISSIONER PALMER BROUGHT FORTH THE MINNESOTA IMMIGRATION RIGHTS ACTION [1:03:15] COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS AND CUAPB SHARED THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS WITH US AS WELL. WE LOOKED AT PORTLAND, DENVER, [1:03:22] ST. PAUL, LAS VEGAS, CHICAGO, AND NEW YORK. WHAT WE LEARNED WAS THAT MPD'S [1:03:28] POLICY IS ON PAR WITH THOSE CITIES. AS EXPECTED, MPD DOES NOT [1:03:34] PARTICIPATE IN FEDERAL IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT AND FOLLOWS POLICIES THAT SEPARATE POLICE ACTIVITIES FROM FEDERAL [1:03:41] IMMIGRATION DUTIES. SO WE ARE IN SUPPORT OF THAT. JUST A COUPLE HIGH-LEVEL [1:03:47] OVERVIEW. YOU CAN SEE THE RECOMMENDATIONS, AND I WANTED TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO COMMISSIONER BARTZ WHO TOOK [1:03:52] ALL OF THE COMMENTS FROM THE LAST MEETING, BOTH PPRR AND CCPO AND CONDENSED THEM. [1:03:58] AND WE HAD A THOROUGH REVIEW PROCESS, BUT I KNOW HOW MUCH WORK THIS TAKES. AND SO I REALLY APPRECIATE HIS [1:04:05] WORK. AND I ALSO WANTED TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO THE IMPLEMENTATION UNIT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE [1:04:10] OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW. YOU EXTENDED THE WINDOW FROM 30 TO 45 DAYS. AND THAT ALLOWED US TO DO A MUCH [1:04:16] MORE THOROUGH JOB. AND IT ALLOWED US TO BE ABLE TO BRING THIS TO THE FULL [1:04:22] COMMISSION AND DISSECT IT IN A SMALLER GROUP WITH COMMUNITY INPUT AND THEN PRESENT TO YOU [1:04:28] THOROUGH RECOMMENDATIONS. HERE'S A COUPLE JUST HIGH-LEVEL [1:04:33] OVERVIEW, WE DO BELIEVE THAT MORE COMMUNICATION WITH THE PUBLIC IS NEEDED. [1:04:40] FOR EXAMPLE, WE SUGGESTED TIMELY CITY-WIDE NOTIFICATION. SO PROMPT NOTIFICATION TO CITY [1:04:46] OFFICIALS IF MPD NOTICES FEDERAL IMMIGRATION ACTIVITIES. [1:04:52] WE KNOW THAT THAT HAS BEEN THE CASE ACROSS THE COUNTRY, SO WE WANT TO ASSUME TRANSPARENCY AND [1:04:59] A COORDINATED RESPONSE ACROSS CITY LEADERSHIP. WE ALSO ASKED OFFICERS TO TURN THEIR BODY-WORN CAMERAS ON WHEN [1:05:06] THEY NOTICE THINGS. EVEN THOUGH THE POLICY RIGHT NOW IS INTERACTIONS, EVEN IF THEY'RE NOT PART OF THE INTERACTION [1:05:12] DIRECTLY, IF THEY'RE A PART OF THE SCENE, WE'D LIKE THAT BECAUSE WE THINK IT WOULD HELP KEEP THE PUBLIC SAFE. [1:05:19] AND WE ALSO RECOMMENDED FURTHER RESEARCH AND COLLABORATION WITH [1:05:24] LAWMAKERS TO REINFORCE LOCAL LEGAL PROTECTIONS WHICH IS OUTSIDE THE JURISDICTION OF MPD. SO WE'RE COMMITTED TO MAKING [1:05:30] SURE THAT WE FOLLOW UP ON THAT AND PULL OUR WEIGHT AND CONDUCT [1:05:36] SOME PROGRAMS OF RESEARCH AND STUDY TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THE WORK OF PUBLIC SAFETY ACROSS THE CITY. [1:05:45] IN CONCLUSION, OUR RECOMMENDATIONS REFLECT A COMMITMENT TO PROMOTING CLEAR COMMUNICATION, DEFENDING [1:05:52] RESIDENTS' RIGHTS AND HOLDING LAW ENFORCEMENT ACCOUNTABLE. AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE MPD'S THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THE [1:05:59] POLICIES AND TO FEEL HEARD AND BE ABLE TO PROVIDE INPUT. AT OUR MEETINGS, WE SPEND, THE [1:06:06] OTHER PART OF THE MEETING, WE SPENT TIME DOING SOME WORK PLANNING. AND WE ARE LOOKING AT OUR WORK [1:06:13] FOR 2026 AND DOING SOME PLANNING THERE. SO WE INVITE EVERYONE TO COME JOIN US AT OUR NEXT MEETING [1:06:18] WHICH IS DECEMBER 1ST. AND I'LL LEAVE IT AT THAT. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS? [1:06:23] COMMENTS? OKAY. >> COMMISSIONER BARTZ, DID YOU [1:06:30] WANT TO ADD ANYTHING? >> NO. THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. [1:06:36] SEEING NO COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS, I'LL ASK THE CLERK TO RECEIVE AND FILE THAT REPORT. FINALLY, WE HAVE A REPORT FROM [1:06:42] THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT COMMITTEE FROM THE CHAIR, COMMISSIONER SMITH, AND WE HAVE [1:06:48] 15 MINUTES ALLOCATED FOR THIS REPORT. [1:06:54] >> MADAM CHAIR, AND COMMISSIONERS, I'D LIKE TO REPORT ON THREE ITEMS FOR YOU. ONE IS OUR COMMUNICATIONS TOOL [1:07:00] KIT. THE SECOND IS A RESOLUTION THAT WE HOPE WILL COME BEFORE THE BODY AT OUR NEXT MEETING [1:07:06] CONCERNING AN ASSESSMENT OF THE FIRST TWO YEARS OF OUR DISCIPLINARY PANEL PROCESS. AND THIRD, I WANT TO ADDRESS THE [1:07:13] ISSUE OF OUR CHALLENGE IN HAVING A QUORUM AT OUR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT COMMITTEE. AT OUR NOVEMBER 10TH MEETING WE [1:07:21] HAD THREE COMMISSIONERS PRESENT AND ONE PARTICIPATING BY TELEPHONE, BUT THAT DOESN'T [1:07:27] COUNT FOR THE CITY'S PURPOSES AND SO WE LACKED A QUORUM. WE DID A LOT OF WORK THROUGH THE [1:07:34] EVENING HOWEVER, ESPECIALLY ON OUR COMMUNICATIONS TOOLKIT. MEMBERS HAVE IN THEIR PACKET, THE CONTENTS OF THIS TOOLKIT. [1:07:42] IT CONSISTS OF A FIRST A FLYER. [1:07:48] LET ME STEP BACK AND SAY THIS TOOLKIT IS GOING TO BE YOUR [1:07:53] RESOURCE TO GO OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY TO MEET WITH NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS IN THE WARD YOU REPRESENT, OTHER [1:07:58] COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS YOU'RE AWARE OF THAT HAVE AN INTEREST IN OUR WORK. WE WANT EVERY MEMBER OF THE [1:08:03] COMMISSION TO BE EQUIPPED TO HAVE THE TOOLS TO GO OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY AND SHARE THE [1:08:09] MISSION OF OUR WORK, BE ABLE TO ANSWER COMMUNITY QUESTIONS AS BEST YOU CAN WITH THE RESOURCES [1:08:14] WE'RE PROVIDING, AND BRING QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS BACK TO THIS BODY SO THAT WE'RE INFORMED [1:08:21] BY THE COMMUNITY'S NEEDS. SO THE FLYER IS THE FIRST PIECE OF THE TOOLKIT AND IT IS A [1:08:28] SUMMARY OF WHO SERVES ON OUR COMMISSION, WHAT OUR AUTHORITY [1:08:34] IS TO REVIEW POLICIES, TO PARTICIPATE IN POLICE CONDUCT REVIEW CASES, AND ENGAGE WITH [1:08:41] THE COMMUNITY AROUND THIS WORK. IT DESCRIBES OUR MISSION, OUR VISION, AND OUR STATEMENT OF OUR [1:08:50] AUTHORITY. SO THAT IS BASICALLY A ONE-PAGE [1:08:56] HANDOUT THAT CAN BE LEFT AND GIVE SOMEONE THE SUMMARY OF OUR WORK. WE ALSO HAVE A WORKING DOCUMENT [1:09:02] THAT WE'RE CALLING FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WHERE WE ANTICIPATE QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT GET OUT IN THE COMMUNITY ABOUT [1:09:08] CCPO AND THE WORK WE'RE DOING. AND PROVIDE SOME SAMPLE ANSWERS [1:09:13] SO YOU'RE EQUIPPED WITH THAT. AGAIN, AS YOU GO OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY AND BRING QUESTIONS BACK, WE CAN BUILDING ON THIS [1:09:18] DOCUMENT. FINALLY, THERE'S ALSO A [1:09:24] POWERPOINT THAT PRESENTS ALL OF THIS INFORMATION IN A POWERPOINT [1:09:32] FORMAT THAT ALSO DESCRIBES IN DETAIL HOW WE GO THROUGH AND DO POLICY REVIEW. HOW WE PARTICIPATE IN REVIEW [1:09:39] PANELS TO REVIEW DISCIPLINARY CASES COMING FROM BOTH INTERNAL AFFAIRS AND OPCR. [1:09:45] AND DESCRIBE AGAIN OUR AUTHORITY [1:09:50] AND OUR BROAD STRATEGIC VISION AND GOALS. SO FINALLY THE TOOL KIT ALSO [1:09:57] INCLUDES YOUR OWN WAY TO FIND THE NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS, [1:10:04] NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS THAT ARE WITHIN THE WARD YOU REPRESENT. FIND A QUICK CONTACT TO YOUR [1:10:12] POLICE PRECINCT INSPECTOR COMMANDING YOUR PRECINCT TO REACH OUT THERE. ALSO A TOOL FOR SIGNING UP FOR [1:10:18] ALL KINDS OF RELATED CITY COMMUNICATIONS OR NEWSLETTERS THAT ARE CONSTANTLY COMING TO [1:10:23] KEEP US ALL INFORMED ABOUT COMMUNITY SAFETY BUSINESS WITHIN [1:10:29] THE CITY ENTERPRISE. AND THEN FINALLY TO BE ABLE TO SIGN UP AND RECEIVE ALL OF THE [1:10:34] UPDATES FROM ALEFA, THE INDEPENDENT MONITOR. [1:10:40] SO WE ARE VERY, VERY GRATEFUL FOR ALL OF THE STAFF WORK THAT HAS COME FROM OPCR TO HELP US [1:10:49] PREPARE THIS CONTENT. WHAT WE WOULD LIKE IS YOUR [1:10:57] SUPPORT OF THE CONTENTS OF THIS TOOLKIT, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT COMMITTEE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK [1:11:03] WITH STAFF ON ITS DESIGN AND ALSO FINE TUNING SO THAT IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN USE AND GO OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY ON A REGULAR BASIS. [1:11:09] I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, BUT MAYBE TO KEEP US FOCUSED, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT THE COMMISSION [1:11:14] APPROVE THE CONTENTS OF THIS TOOLKIT AND DIRECT THE COMMUNITY [1:11:19] ENGAGEMENT COMMITTEE TO OVERSEE ITS DESIGN WITH SUPPORT FROM THE CITY STAFF. >> IS THERE A SECOND? [1:11:25] >> SECOND. >> ALL RIGHT. THERE'S BEEN A MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? [1:11:31] ALL RIGHT. CLERK, IF YOU CAN CALL THE -- I MISSED SOMEBODY? COMMISSIONER NEWMAN. [1:11:37] >> I WAS JUST GOING TO ADD A PIECE TO IT. [1:11:44] WE WERE TRYING TO ALSO DISCUSS ABOUT POSSIBLY, I DON'T KNOW IF WE WOULD ALL HAVE TO AGREE UPON IT OF COURSE, BUT ONE OF THE [1:11:50] FLYERS MAYBE HAVING A PICTURE OF US, IT MIGHT BE MORE INVITING TO [1:11:56] INTRODUCE WHO WE ARE SO COMMUNITY MEMBERS CAN KNOW THAT AS WELL. AND THEN CREATE A QR CODE OF [1:12:02] MORE OF A BUSINESS CARD TYPE WHERE IT COULD BE AN EASY WAY TO MAKE COMPLAINTS SO THERE'S NOT [1:12:07] ANY CONFUSION TO ANY COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT WANTED TO TAKE ONE SO IT'S NOT LIKE AN ONION, HAVE [1:12:14] TO BURY THEMSELVES DOWN TO FILE DOWN TO GET TO MAKE THAT COMPLAINT AND WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE [1:12:19] AND JUST MAKE IT EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO GET THAT INFORMATION. BUT I JUST WANTED TO ADD THOSE [1:12:25] PIECES TO THAT. FOR THAT ONE PAGE, IT WOULD BE NICE AS WE WERE ABLE AS CCPO TO [1:12:31] TAKE EITHER A GROUP PICTURE IF YOU AGREE TO HAVE YOUR PICTURE ON THERE, THAT'S FINE. SOME FOLKS MAYBE THE PICTURE [1:12:37] FROM NACOLE OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT, BUT JUST TO LOOK MORE INVITING. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? [1:12:43] ALL RIGHT. CLERK, IF YOU CAN CALL THE ROLL ON THAT MOTION, PLEASE. >> COMMISSIONER SCHANFIELD. [1:12:49] >> ENTHUSIASTIC YES. >> NEWMAN. >> YES. >> CLEMENT. [1:12:55] >> YES. >> BAKER. >> YES. >> ZYLA. >> YES. >> CANADAY. [1:13:01] >> AYE. >> BARTZ. >> YES. >> SMITH. >> YES. [1:13:07] >> VICE CHAIR OLSEN. >> YES. >> AND CHAIR REEVES. >> YES. >> THERE ARE TEN AYES. >> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. [1:13:13] THAT MOTION PASSES. NEXT UP IS A POLICY [1:13:18] RECOMMENDATION FROM OPCR -- EXCUSE ME. I'M SORRY, YOU HAD TWO OTHER ITEMS. [1:13:23] >> IF I COULD SPEAK TO TWO OTHER ITEMS, I THINK I STILL HAVE TIME [1:13:28] LEFT. VERY QUICKLY, OUR COMMITTEE MEMBERS DISCUSSED A DRAFT RESOLUTION THAT IS CURRENTLY BEING REVIEWED BY THE CITY [1:13:34] ATTORNEY THAT REQUESTS THAT THE CIVIL RIGHTS DEPARTMENT PREPARE A RESEARCH PROJECT OR STUDY OF [1:13:42] THE DISCIPLINARY PANEL PROCESS AS IT IS OPERATED FOR THE TWO YEARS THAT WE'VE BEEN IN [1:13:48] EXISTENCE. WE ENVISION A SURVEY OF BOTH OUR CIVILIAN MEMBERS OF THE PANEL, [1:13:54] MAYBE MEMBERS OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS COMMISSION WHO HAVE ALSO SERVED IN THE PANELS AS WELL AS THE SWORN MEMBERS AND WOULD [1:14:01] INVOLVE A REQUEST GOING TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT LEADERSHIP THAT IT AUTHORIZED THE SWORN [1:14:06] MEMBERS TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT SURVEY. I THINK IT'S A HELPFUL WAY TO [1:14:11] BRING BOTH OBJECTIVE INFORMATION AND COMMENTS QUALITATIVE [1:14:17] INFORMATION BACK BEFORE THIS BODY SO WE CAN TOGETHER ASSESS HOW THIS PROCESS IS WORKING, WHAT'S WORKING WELL, AND WHAT [1:14:22] NEEDS IMPROVEMENT. AND SO THAT WE MIGHT MAKE FURTHER RECOMMENDATIONS ABOUT [1:14:27] THE PROCESS GOING FORWARD. SO I JUST WANTED YOU ALL TO BE AWARE OF THAT AND WATCHING FOR THAT AS WE GET TO OUR NEXT [1:14:35] MEETING. FINALLY, WE'VE HAD SOME CHALLENGES ON OUR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT COMMITTEE ENGAGING [1:14:41] OUR MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE. WE'VE HAD A CHALLENGE MEETING A FORMAL QUORUM AND THE CHAIR HAS [1:14:49] HELPFULLY SENT OUT A REMINDER TO ALL OF OUR COMMITTEE MEMBERS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF [1:14:55] COMMITTING AND I THINK ALL OF OUR MEMBERS THAT ARE HERE TONIGHT HAVE COMMITTED TO BE [1:15:00] ABLE TO ATTEND AND PARTICIPATE. BUT WE'RE ASKING THAT FOR EACH MEMBER, YOU REALLY TAKE A [1:15:06] CAREFUL LOOK AND ASSESS YOUR ABILITY TO ATTEND AT LEAST 80% [1:15:12] OF THE MEETINGS, MEANING AT LEAST 9 OR 10 MEETINGS OF THE [1:15:17] YEAR OF THE COMMITTEE. AND IF THAT'S NOT A FEASIBLE THING, THEN YOU WOULD HOPEFULLY [1:15:23] FEEL LIBERATED FROM HAVING TO SERVE ON THE COMMITTEE AND RECOGNIZE THAT WE WOULDN'T NEED TO COUNT YOUR SEAT TOWARD THE [1:15:29] QUORUM. AND WE COULD THEN MORE EFFECTIVELY CONVENE A QUORUM AND KEEP PUSHING THE BUSINESS ALONG. [1:15:38] SO THIS IS SOMETHING WE WERE ASKED TO BRING UP JUST TO EMPHASIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF THAT COMMITMENT. AND WITH THAT, MADAM CHAIR, THAT [1:15:45] COMPLETES MY REPORT. >> OKAY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? >> IN COMMENTING TO WHAT SMITH [1:15:53] DID SAY, I UNDERSTAND THAT THE [1:15:59] ORDINANCE IS WE ONLY NEED TO MEET EIGHT TIMES A YEAR AND WE'RE MEETING 12 TIMES A YEAR. [1:16:05] SO BY MEETING MONTHLY, THEN ARE WE GOING TO MAYBE CONSIDER [1:16:10] CANCELING DECEMBER OR JANUARY, CHRISTMAS OR NEW YEAR'S OR JUST THESE OTHER THINGS BECAUSE THEN [1:16:16] WE'RE ASKING PEOPLE TO ATTEND SOMETHING 80%, 90% OF THE TIME WHEN WE'RE OVER MEETING BASED ON [1:16:24] OUR ORDINANCE. >> I SEE THESE TWO THINGS AS SEPARATE. THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT [1:16:31] SUBCOMMITTEE AS WELL AS THIS BODY CAN MEET EIGHT TIMES A [1:16:36] YEAR. BUT THE SUBCOMMITTEE THEY CAN CHOOSE THEIR OWN CALENDAR. >> I APOLOGIZE, I THOUGHT HE WAS [1:16:43] SAYING HE WAS BRINGING THAT UP IN THE SENSE OF OUR MEETINGS AND OUR QUORUM AS A WHOLE. [1:16:48] >> JUST THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT COMMITTEE. >> OH, I'M NOT ON THAT COMMITTEE. I APOLOGIZE, SMITH. >> THANK YOU. [1:16:54] ANY OTHER COMMENTS, QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. [1:17:00] THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE IT. WE'LL RECEIVE AND FILE THAT REPORT. NEXT UP IS A POLICY [1:17:05] RECOMMENDATION FROM OPCR. I'LL ASK DIRECTOR FUJISAWA TO COME BACK UP TO SPEAK TO THIS [1:17:12] ITEM. [1:17:21] >> HELLO AGAIN. I DO NOT HAVE THE RECOMMENDATIONS THEMSELVES AS I KNOW THEY'VE BEEN PREVIOUSLY [1:17:27] PRESENTED TO THE PPRR I BELIEVE AT THE AUGUST CONVENING OF THAT [1:17:33] COMMITTEE. I THINK SOME CONTEXT IS HELPFUL TOO FOR A RECOMMENDATION COMING FROM OPCR TO THE BODY. [1:17:38] I KNOW WE'VE DISCUSSED PPRR'S [1:17:44] WORK AS WELL AS OPCR AND THE RESEARCH TEAM AND ITS ROLE IN [1:17:49] FACILITATING RESEARCH AND STUDIES BOTH INTERNALLY WITHIN OPCR AND CIVIL RIGHTS BUT ALSO [1:17:54] IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CCPO. OBVIOUSLY THE POLICY AND [1:18:01] RESEARCH TEAM THROUGH THE CASE WORK, THROUGH OUR OFFICE, THROUGH COMPLAINT AND INTAKE, WE [1:18:08] GENERATE AND MAINTAIN A VAST AMOUNT OF DATA. AND THAT'S TIED TO COMPLAINANTS, [1:18:13] THAT'S TIED TO THE COMPLAINTS THEMSELVES. THAT'S TIED TO THE VIOLATIONS THAT WE OBSERVE, THE ALLEGED [1:18:19] VIOLATIONS VERSUS THOSE THAT ARE ULTIMATELY CHARGED AS WELL AS OUTCOMES DATA. SO WE HAVE THIS GROUND LEVEL [1:18:25] MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT, CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS LEVEL DATA. BUT THEN WE ALSO NOTE WE ARE [1:18:31] UNDER A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT, FORMALLY A CONSENT DECREE, THERE [1:18:36] ARE OTHER CITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, MUNICIPALITIES THAT [1:18:42] HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS PROCESS AT DIFFERENT STAGES OF THIS PROCESS. SO WE KNOW THERE ARE DIFFERENT DURATIONS OF A LOT OF THE WORK [1:18:48] THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH OR WILL GO THROUGH. AND THAT INCLUDES SOME POLICY DEVELOPMENT THAT IS BASED UPON [1:18:54] BEST PRACTICE AND THAT LEVERAGES SOME OF THE EXPERIENCE, THE LEARNINGS, THE CHALLENGES, THE [1:19:00] FAILURES OF OTHER CITIES AND OTHER MUNICIPALITIES SO THAT WE CAN HOPEFULLY AVOID SOME OF THOSE PROBLEMS. [1:19:06] SO TRYING TO BRING THE GROUND LEVEL UP AND ALSO BRING FROM A NATIONAL LEVEL DOWN AND BE ABLE [1:19:12] TO APPLY THAT TO WHAT WE'RE SEEING HERE IN MINNEAPOLIS BOTH WITH THE COMMUNITY AND BOTH WITH [1:19:17] THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND CIVIL RIGHTS. SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND SORT OF AT LEAST WHAT [1:19:23] I'M HOPING THAT OUR TEAM CAN DO. AND THAT IS REALLY CRITICAL [1:19:30] RESPONSE BETWEEN MELINDA IN THE POLICY AND RESEARCH TEAM AS WELL [1:19:35] AS OUR MANAGEMENT ANALYST WHICH IS ONE OF THE NEWER ROLES WE HAVE THIS YEAR. THE MANAGEMENT ANALYST, WHAT I [1:19:41] SORT OF SEE AND WHAT I'VE ENVISIONED IS THAT THAT INDIVIDUAL IS BRINGING THAT TOP [1:19:48] DOWN APPROACH, FINDING WHAT IS BEST PRACTICE, DOING THE RESEARCH OF THE NATIONAL OR EVEN [1:19:53] STATE LEVEL. AND TRYING TO WORK WITH THE POLICY RESEARCH TEAM TO APPLY IT [1:20:00] IN A MEANINGFUL WAY HERE IN MINNEAPOLIS. EARLY ON IN HIS TENURE, THAT MANAGEMENT ANALYST IDENTIFIED [1:20:06] THAT THERE WAS A GAP, THAT THERE IS NOT A STAND ALONE SEXUAL [1:20:12] MISCONDUCT POLICY WITHIN THE MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT'S POLICY AND PROCEDURES MANUAL. [1:20:20] AT ITS CORE, THAT'S AN ISSUE BECAUSE SEXUAL MISCONDUCT IS OBVIOUSLY A SERIOUS BREACH OF [1:20:26] PUBLIC TRUST, IT CAN SERIOUSLY DIMINISH THE INTEGRITY OF A [1:20:31] DEPARTMENT, OF A CITY, AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COMMUNITY. WITHIN THE MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT P&P, THE POLICY AND [1:20:39] PROCEDURES RIGHT NOW, THE CLOSEST THING WE HAVE TO A SEXUAL MISCONDUCT POLICY IS THE [1:20:45] 2106 SECTION. BUT THAT RELATES ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY TO INTERNAL EMPLOYEE [1:20:52] SEXUAL MIONDUCT. WHAT WE ARE CONCERNED WITH AND WHAT WE'VE FLAGGED WITH PPRR AS [1:20:58] WELL AS WITH THE DEPARTMENT IS A LACK OF AN EXPLICIT POLICY THAT ADDRESSES SEXUAL MISCONDUCT WHEN [1:21:06] IT'S COMMITTED OR WHEN IT INVOLVES A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC. AND SO THAT IS A VERY IMPORTANT [1:21:13] DISTINCTION. THIS RECOMMENDATION THAT WE'VE PUT TOGETHER ALSO ALIGNS AS I [1:21:18] MENTIONED WITH BEST PRACTICE AT A NATIONAL LEVEL INCLUDING WITH THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF CHIEFS OF POLICE AND WITH MDHR, [1:21:25] WITH THE DOJ, WITH OTHER MUNICIPALITIES THAT HAVE GONE THROUGH CONSENT DECREES AND SETTLEMENT AGREEMENTS. [1:21:35] SO AT ITS CORE AND I WANT TO TRY TO STAY BRIEF BECAUSE THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN PRESENTED TO AT LEAST A FEW MEMBERS HERE AND THE [1:21:44] RECOMMENDATIONS THEMSELVES ARE FAIRLY CLEAR, IT IS TO CREATE A STAND ALONE SEXUAL MISCONDUCT [1:21:51] POLICY THAT EXAMINES, IT'S A DEDICATED POLICY THAT ADDRESSES [1:21:56] NONCRIMINAL SEXUAL MISCONDUCT. WE THINK THERE IS A REQUIREMENT TO WITH ALL OTHER POLICIES AND [1:22:02] TRAININGS, CLEARLY AND EXPLICITLY DEFINE WHAT THAT [1:22:09] ENTAILS AND MAKE SURE THAT THE EXPECTATIONS ARE CLEAR. [1:22:16] WE WANT TO REDUCE AMBIGUITY BECAUSE THOSE GAPS AS WE'VE SEEN, AS WE'VE CURRENTLY SEEN [1:22:21] AND WE KNOW MPDIU IS WORKING THROUGH RIGHT NOW WE NEED EXPLICIT POLICIES THAT ARE [1:22:28] CLEAR, CONCISE, TRAINABLE, BY [1:22:36] OUR OFFICERS TO DELIVER ON THE POLICIES THEY ARE BEING TRAINED ON AND REALLY DELIVER ON THEIR [1:22:41] ROLE AS LAW ENFORCEMENT AND TO KEEP COMMUNITY SAFE. [1:22:49] SO I DO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT AND I THINK COMMISSIONER NEWMAN, THIS PROBABLY GOES TO SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS JUST IN TERMS OF WHAT [1:22:56] THAT PROCESS LOOKS LIKE, AND IT'S VERY SIMILAR. IT'S THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE POLICY ITSELF, IT'S BASED ON [1:23:01] STATE STATUTES THAT WE HAVE HERE, CONSIDERATIONS FOR SEXUAL [1:23:07] MISCONDUCT INVESTIGATIONS. IT'S THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SUBSEQUENT TRAINING AFTER APPROVAL OF THAT POLICY. [1:23:14] AND THEN THAT'S REALLY WHERE WHAT WE ARE HOPING, WHAT WE [1:23:19] ANTICIPATE AS THE OFFICE OF POLICE CONDUCT REVIEW, AS THE POLICY AND RESEARCH TEAM, AND [1:23:24] HOPEFULLY AS PPRR, IS THAT WE WOULD SEE OBVIOUSLY A DECREASE IN THE NUMBER OF SEXUAL [1:23:30] MISCONDUCT RELATED COMPLAINTS THAT WE SEE JUST BECAUSE OF THE POLICY, BECAUSE OF THE TRAINING, BECAUSE OF THE AWARENESS. [1:23:35] AND WE KNOW THAT THIS IS SORT OF THE CHALLENGE THAT WE HAVE WITH [1:23:41] OTHER POLICY VIOLATIONS THAT WE'VE EXAMINED PREVIOUSLY. IS THIS BECAUSE WILL WE SEE THIS [1:23:48] DECREASE IN REPORTS AND SUSTAINED COMPLAINTS BECAUSE IT ISN'T HAPPENING AS MUCH OR BECAUSE IT ISN'T BEING REPORTED [1:23:54] AS MUCH BECAUSE WE KNOW THERE ARE ONGOING CHALLENGES WITH REPORTS OF SEXUAL MISCONDUCTS [1:24:00] AND THE NUMBER OF REPORTS IS LIKELY LOWER THAN THE ACTUAL INCIDENT OF MISCONDUCT. [1:24:06] SO THESE ARE ALL CONSIDERATIONS THAT ARE EXPLICITLY OUTLINED HERE IN THE RECOMMENDATIONS [1:24:12] THEMSELVES ALONG WITH SOME EXISTING POLICIES THAT WE HAVE [1:24:17] PULLED FROM I THINK CHICAGO WAS MOST RECENTLY ONE OF THE CITIES, ONE OF THE LARGER CITIES UNDER A [1:24:23] CONSENT DECREE THAT DEVELOPED A STAND ALONE POLICY RECENTLY, I THINK IT WAS EARLIER THIS YEAR. [1:24:29] I DO ALSO WANT TO NOTE THAT WE DID HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH [1:24:36] MPDIU AS WELL AS THE POLICY DEVELOPMENT TEAM TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION AND THEY WERE VERY MUCH IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE NEED. [1:24:42] I THINK IT ULTIMATELY COMES DOWN TO THE FACT THAT IT IS NOT AN EXPLICIT REQUIREMENT IN THE [1:24:47] SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND THE CONSENT DECREE. [1:24:52] NOTWITHSTANDING, IT SHOULD BE A POLICY THAT THE DEPARTMENT DEVELOPS AND ADOPTS. [1:24:57] AND THEY WERE IN COMPLETE AGREEMENT AND ALIGNMENT, IT IS SIMPLY A CAPACITY AND PRIORITIZATION ISSUE RIGHT NOW. [1:25:04] THAT BEING SAID, WE ARE REMAINING IN CONTACT WITH MPDIU [1:25:10] TO SEE IF THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY, IF THERE IS CAPACITY THAT IS FREED UP, THAT WE CAN WORK CLOSELY WITH THEM TO [1:25:16] SUPPORT THAT DEVELOPMENT OF THE [1:25:22] POLICY. IF IT'S AVAILABLE, WORK THROUGH THE TRAINING DEVELOPMENT AND THE IMPLEMENTATION THERE. BUT I JUST WANTED TO GIVE SOME, [1:25:29] I GUESS SOME PERSPECTIVE IN TERMS OF HOW WE AS OPCR AND CIVIL RIGHTS ARE WORKING [1:25:35] TOGETHER WITH MPDIU, BUT ALSO PPRR AS WELL AS COMMUNITY AND BEST PRACTICE TO DEVELOP THESE [1:25:43] RECOMMENDATIONS AND PRESENT THESE FINDINGS TO THE BODY, ONE, [1:25:48] SO YOU'RE AWARE, BUT TWO BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION IN TERMS OF POLICY [1:25:55] AND RESEARCH STUDY DEVELOPMENT. I DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE UP TOO MUCH TIME, BECAUSE I KNOW THERE'S PROBABLY SOME DISCUSSION THAT NEEDS TO BE HAD SINCE THIS [1:26:02] MIGHT BE THE FIRST THAT SOME COMMISSIONERS ARE HEARING OF THIS RECOMMENDATION SINCE IT'S ONLY PART OF THE PPRR A COUPLE MONTHS AGO. [1:26:08] >> THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS? VICE CHAIR OLSEN. [1:26:13] >> YEAH, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THIS SUGGESTION FOR THE WORK YOU'VE DONE ON IT. [1:26:19] I FIND MYSELF TOTALLY IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND WONDER, I [1:26:27] THINK THIS BODY CAN SERVE A ROLE IN SUPPORTING THAT. AND I WONDER IF ONE WAY TO DO [1:26:34] THAT ISN'T TO HAVE US REFER THE MATTER TO PPRR TO WORK WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE TO [1:26:40] DEVELOP A RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT THIS IN THE APPROPRIATE WAY. [1:26:47] >> OKAY. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? COMMISSIONER SCHANFIELD. >> CAN WE MAKE THAT A MOTION? [1:26:53] >> I'LL MOVE THAT, YES. >> I'LL SECOND THAT. >> I WOULD ASK VICE CHAIR OLSEN FOR YOU TO RESTATE THE MOTION [1:26:59] SUCCINCTLY FOR THE MINUTES, PLEASE. >> THAT THE MATTER OF THE SEXUAL [1:27:07] MISCONDUCT POLICY BE REFERRED TO THE PPRR FOR DISCUSSION AND THEN [1:27:16] WITH THE HOPEFUL GOAL OF DEVELOPING A RESOLUTION ALONG WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE [1:27:22] SO THAT THE FULL COMMISSION CAN SUPPORT AND HAVE AN APPROPRIATE [1:27:29] RESOLUTION. >> THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER SCHANFIELD SECONDS. [1:27:34] ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? COMMISSIONER SMITH. >> MR. FUJISAWA, I'M WONDERING [1:27:42] IF THIS GENERAL NEED FOR THE POLICY, YOU MIGHT HAVE COVERED THIS BUT IF THERE'S BEEN SOME DISCUSSION WITH MPD AND ALEFA [1:27:49] ABOUT THE NEED FOR THE POLICY AND A RECOGNITION OF IT AND IF SO, WHAT'S THE NATURE OF THAT [1:27:56] DISCUSSION. >> I APPRECIATE THE QUESTION. AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN LIKE AN EXPLICIT NEED JUST BASED ON [1:28:02] CASES OR COMPLAINTS THAT'S DRIVING THE DEVELOPMENT HERE. I DO KNOW THAT JUST BECAUSE OF [1:28:08] THE POTENTIAL IMPACT OF A CASE [1:28:14] THAT IS SEXUAL MISCONDUCT IN NATURE, IT CAN BE VERY [1:28:19] PROBLEMATIC AND CAN SET THE DEPARTMENT AND THE CITY BACK [1:28:24] SUBSTANTIALLY IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. IT'S THE ANTICIPATION NOT [1:28:30] NECESSARILY OF IT HAPPENING, BUT JUST THE PROBLEMATIC NATURE OF [1:28:36] NOT HAVING A POLICY THAT EXPLICITLY OUTLINES AN RESPONSE [1:28:42] AND INVESTIGATION AND APPROPRIATE CORRESPONDING DISCIPLINE. >> COMMISSIONER CANADAY. [1:28:49] >> THANK YOU. I SUPPORT THE MOTION AND SUPPORT THE PROPOSED POLICY. [1:28:54] I WASART OF THE LONGER PRESENTATION WITH PPRR. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE ONE [1:28:59] COMMENT REGARDING SOMETHING YOU SAID TOWARDS THE END OF YOUR PRESENTATION. [1:29:05] THAT PERHAPS SOME OF THE PRIORITIZATION OF THIS IS EFFECTED BY THE FACT THAT IT'S NOT PART EXPLICITLY OF THE MDHR [1:29:15] SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND THE CONSENT DECREE, AND IT'S THE FIRST TIME AT LEAST IN MY MIND THAT WE'RE HEARING THAT AS [1:29:21] SOMETHING THAT THE CITY IS KIND OF GRAPPLING WITH. SO THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO I GUESS GIVE MY RESPONSE WHICH IS [1:29:27] WE SHOULDN'T TURN AWAY GOOD IDEAS JUST BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T IN THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT. [1:29:33] AND I THINK THAT'S OBVIOUSLY I KNOW OPCR HAS THAT VIEWPOINT. I REALLY THANK OPCR FOR BRINGING [1:29:40] THIS ISSUE FORWARD. AND VERY THOROUGH BRIEFING, NOT JUST PREPARED BY THE CITY, BUT [1:29:46] ALL THE BACKGROUND, IT'S VERY HELPFUL TO SEE AND PUT THAT RECOMMENDATION IN CONTEXT. [1:29:51] SO I THINK IT'S A GOOD SIGN THAT AS A CITY WE'RE CONSIDERING IDEAS OUTSIDE OF THESE VERY [1:29:58] COMPREHENSIVE AGREEMENTS THAT COURTS ARE MAKING US LOOK AT, BUT WE'RE ALSO FINDING OTHER THINGS TO ADDRESS. [1:30:04] >> THANK YOU. AND I DO WANT TO REITERATE THAT MPDIU IS VERY MUCH IN ALIGNMENT [1:30:11] WITH THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS POLICY DEVELOPMENT. AND I DO ALSO WANT TO [1:30:17] ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR CONSTRAINTS IN TERMS OF PRIORITIZATION JUST WITH THEIR CAPACITY AND ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS. [1:30:23] ESPECIALLY WITH WHAT COMMANDER WILKES WAS OUTLINING WITH THEIR POLICY REQUIREMENTS RIGHT NOW IN [1:30:29] VERY LARGE SCALE, VERY SUBSTANTIAL, VERY FOUNDATIONAL [1:30:34] POLICY DEVELOPMENT. SO I RECOGNIZE BOTH THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS POLICY RECOMMENDATION AS WELL AS ALL OF THE OTHER WORK THAT THEY'RE [1:30:42] DOING. SO TRYING TO STRIKE THAT BALANCE AND REALLY IDENTIFY THE BEST WAYS THAT WE CAN SUPPORT WITH [1:30:48] THEIR LIMITED CAPACITY SO THAT WE CAN GET SOMETHING IN PLACE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. [1:30:54] I DID ALSO JUST BRIEFLY WANT TO MENTION, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE COMMANDER WILKES WAS TALKING ABOUT EIS AND EMPLOYEE WELLNESS, [1:31:02] THERE ALSO ARE IN THE RECOMMENDATIONS HERE TIES INTO THE EIS, THE EARLY INTERVENTION SYSTEM FOR FLAGGING POTENTIAL [1:31:10] ISSUES WITH OFFICER CONDUCT AND THAT TIES INTO EMPLOYEE WELLNESS AS WELL IN TERMS OF MAKING SURE THAT THEY ARE TRAINED, [1:31:19] SUPPORTED, EVEN WHEN THERE ARE POTENTIAL FLAGS WITH EIS, RIGHT. [1:31:24] THAT IT'S NOT JUST A REASON FOR DISCIPLINE, BUT IT'S INSTEAD HOW DO WE HAVE CORRECTIVE ACTION, HOW DO WE TRAIN IF NECESSARY. [1:31:32] SO IT'S REALLY THE IDENTIFYING A PROBLEM BEFORE IT IS ONE. SO THERE ARE CONSIDERATIONS FOR [1:31:37] THAT IN HERE AS WELL. SO I ENCOURAGE YOU TO LOOK AT THAT AS WELL AS SOME OF THE OTHER BEST PRACTICES. [1:31:43] >> THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? [1:31:49] ALL RIGHT, SEEING NONE, CLERK IF YOU CAN CALL THE VOTE ON THE MOTION, PLEASE. [1:31:54] >> COMMISSIONER SCHANFIELD. >> YES. >> NEWMAN. >> YES. [1:32:00] >> CLEMENT. >> YES. >> BAKER. >> YES. >> ZYLA. [1:32:06] >> YES. >> CANADAY. >> AYE. >> BARTZ. >> YES. >> SMITH. [1:32:12] >> YES. >> VICE CHAIR OLSEN. >> YES. >> AND CHAIR REEVES. >> YES. >> THERE ARE TEN AYES. [1:32:18] >> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. THE AYES HAVE IT. NEXT WE RECEIVE PUBLIC COMMENT [1:32:24] FROM RESIDENTS CONCERNING DELAYS IN MPD'S RESPONSE TIMES IN THOSE [1:32:30] WARDS AND WE TAKE THOSE VERY SERIOUSLY. BECAUSE THESE ARE RECURRING CONCERNS AND NOT ISOLATED [1:32:35] INCIDENTS, I BELIEVE IT'S ESSENTIAL THAT OUR BODY TAKE ACTION WITHIN OUR AUTHORITY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING AND ENSURE ACCOUNTABILITY. [1:32:40] I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO HAVE THE CCPO OFFICERS SEND A REQUEST TO MPD AND MINNEAPOLIS [1:32:46] EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS CENTER WHICH IS THE MECC FOR CALLS FOR SERVICE DATA TO BE PROVIDED TO [1:32:53] OPCR. AS OUR STAFF LIAISON, OPCR CAN ASSIST US IN ANALYZING THIS DATA [1:32:58] SO WE CAN IDENTIFY ANY PATTERNS, UNDERSTAND THE SCOPE OF THE ISSUE, AND DETERMINE WHAT STEPS MAY BE NEEDED TO ADDRESS THE [1:33:05] CONCERNS RESIDENTS HAVE REPEATEDLY RAISED. CAN I GET A SECOND? [1:33:10] >> SECOND. >> MOTION AND A SECOND. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? [1:33:16] ALL RIGHT, CLERK IF YOU CAN CALL THE ROLL. >> COMMISSIONER SCHANFIELD. [1:33:24] >> I'M SORRY, I WASN'T MENTALLY PRESENT SO I'M GOING TO ABSTAIN. >> COMMISSIONER NEWMAN. [1:33:32] >> YES. >> CLEMENT. [1:33:37] >> YES. >> BAKER. >> YES. >> ZYLA. >> YES. >> CANADAY. [1:33:43] >> AYE. >> BARTZ. >> YES. >> SMITH. >> YES. [1:33:48] >> VICE CHAIR OLSEN. >> AYE. >> CHAIR REEVES. >> YES. >> THERE ARE NINE AYES AND ONE [1:33:55] ABSTENTION. >> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THAT PASSES. NEXT UP IS AN UPDATE ON THE [1:34:00] CHIEF'S REVIEW. COMMISSIONER BARNETT HAS SENT OUT AN EMAIL TO EVERYONE WITH [1:34:05] INFO ON THE SCHEDULE OF MEETING WITH HIM INDIVIDUALLY. THERE IS A DEADLINE DATE I BELIEVE OF DECEMBER 2ND TO [1:34:11] COMPLETE THE REVIEW SURVEY AND THEN THEY WILL SCHEDULE AN INDIVIDUAL MEETING. THAT EMAIL CAME OUT SEVERAL [1:34:16] HOURS PRIOR TO THIS MEETING TODAY, SO PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAIL AND RESPOND. [1:34:22] AND THEN LET ME KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. JUST WANT TO PUT THAT OUT THERE. >> I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THAT. [1:34:28] >> COMMISSIONER SCHANFIELD. >> IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S A SURVEY. IS THAT RIGHT? [1:34:33] I THINK WHEN HE WAS HERE LAST, HE SAID WE WERE GOING TO MEET ONE ON ONE WITH HIM. >> YEP, YOU RESPOND TO THE [1:34:39] SURVEY FIRST AND THEN SCHEDULE AN INDIVIDUAL MEETING IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO. IT'S OPTIONAL. FOR THOSE WHO MAY NOT WANT TO, [1:34:46] YOU DON'T HAVE TO. BUT YOU CAN DO THE SURVEY FIRST. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> IS THERE AN OPTION TO MEET [1:34:51] COLLECTIVELY RATHER THAN INDIVIDUALLY? >> IT'S INDIVIDUALLY BECAUSE [1:34:57] IT'S SOMEONE'S PERSONAL REVIEW ABOUT THEIR PERFORMANCE. SO MEETING WITH HIM INDIVIDUALLY. YOU CAN CHOOSE TO NOT MEET WITH [1:35:02] HIM IF YOU DON'T WANT TO, BUT YEAH. AND JUST DO THE SURVEY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. [1:35:10] NEXT UP IS HEARING FROM THE COMMITTEE CHAIR TO SHARE THEIR THEORY OF ACTIONS. [1:35:15] COMMISSIONER SMITH, WOULD YOU LIKE TO START US OFF WITH THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT COMMITTEE'S THEORY OF ACTION. >> YES, OUR COMMITTEE MEMBERS [1:35:24] DISCUSSED THIS AND HAVE OFFERED THE FOLLOWING LANGUAGE, CCPO [1:35:29] WILL ENGAGE IN LISTENING SESSIONS AT NEIGHBORHOOD AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, SHARE DATA AND REFLECTIONS ON [1:35:36] EXPERIENCES WITH THE POLICE DISCIPLINARY PANELS. AND HOLD INFORMAL CONVERSATIONS WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO BUILD [1:35:42] STRONGER COMMUNITY AWARENESS OF AND TRUST IN HIS WORK AND HAVE A MORE IMPACTFUL ROLE IN PROVIDING [1:35:48] MEANINGFUL AND EFFECTIVE OVERSIGHT OF THE POLICE AND [1:35:54] THEIR ACTIONS WITH THE COMMUNITY. THE CCPO WELCOMES COMMUNITY VOICES AND ENCOURAGES SHARED [1:36:00] DIALOGUE. AND CHAIR, I WOULD MOVE TO ACCEPT THIS THEORY OF ACTION FOR THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT STRATEGIC GOAL. [1:36:05] >> IS THERE A SECOND? >> SECOND. >> ALL RIGHT, IT'S BEEN MOTIONED AND SECONDED. [1:36:10] ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT -- >> CAN I ASK A QUESTION, WHEN [1:36:17] YOU SAY WITHIN COMMUNITY, YOU MEAN MEET IN THE WARD WE [1:36:26] REPRESENT? >> MADAM CHAIR, MAYBE YOU COULD [1:36:33] HIGHLIGHT WHERE YOU'RE LOOKING. [1:36:42] >> I'M ASKING YOU A QUESTION, YOU JUST SAID THAT IF I'M HEARING YOU CORRECTLY THAT IT WOULD ALLOW CCPO MEMBERS TO MEET [1:36:50] IN COMMUNITY TO GO OVER DATA AND TO GO OVER THESE THINGS WITH COMMUNITY. DID I MISHEAR YOU? [1:36:55] >> NO, THIS IS A STATEMENT OF OUR THEORY OF ACTION THAT WE WILL ENGAGE IN LISTENING [1:37:01] SESSIONS AT NEIGHBORHOOD AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. >> GOT IT. THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION. [1:37:08] >> THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT, CLERK, YOU CAN CALL THE ROLL ON THAT MOTION, PLEASE. [1:37:14] >> COMMISSIONER SCHANFIELD. >> YES. >> NEWMAN. >> AYE. >> CLEMENT. [1:37:19] >> AYE. >> BAKER. >> AYE. >> ZYLA. >> AYE. >> CANADAY. [1:37:26] >> AYE. >> BARTZ. >> YES. >> SMITH. >> AYE. >> VICE CHAIR OLSEN. [1:37:32] >> AYE. >> AND CHAIR REEVES. >> YES. >> THERE ARE TEN AYES. >> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. THE AYES HAVE IT. [1:37:38] AND THE THEORY OF ACTION FOR THE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT COMMITTEE IS ADOPTED. NEXT, WE WILL HEAR FROM [1:37:43] COMMISSIONER SCHANFIELD ON THE THEORY OF ACTION FOR THE POLICE POLICY RESEARCH AND RECOMMENDATIONS COMMITTEE. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. [1:37:49] I JUST WANTED TO DIRECT EVERYONE'S ATTENTION TO THE CCPO [1:37:59] OUT OUT OUTREACH TOOLKIT, ON THE THIRD PAGE OF THAT IS WHERE [1:38:07] COMMISSIONER SMITH READ FROM, THEIRS IS THERE AND OURS IS THERE AS WELL IF YOU WANT SOMETHING TO READ ALONG WITH. FOR THE POLICE POLICY RESEARCH [1:38:12] AND RECOMMENDATIONS COMMITTEE, WE WILL REVIEW POLICIES, LEVERAGE LESSONS LEARNED THROUGH REVIEW PANELS, AND WORK WITH [1:38:19] OPCR TO RESEARCH INNOVATIVE IDEAS IN ORDER TO PROVIDE SUBSTANTIVE RECOMMENDATIONS TO MPD SO CCPO AS A WHOLE CAN HAVE [1:38:25] A MORE IMPACTFUL ROLE IN TRANSFORMING THE CULTURE OF MPD. WHAT THAT REALLY MEANS IS THAT [1:38:31] WE'RE LOOKING AT POLICIES, WE'RE LEARNING FROM PANELS, AND WE'RE SUGGESTING AND RESEARCHING [1:38:37] INNOVATIVE PRACTICES. SO THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN FOCUSED ON NPRR, AND THIS IS A WAY TO FORMALIZE IT FOR OUR [1:38:43] STRATEGIC PLAN SO THAT WE HAVE IT IN WRITING. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? >> ANY QUESTIONS FROM COMMISSIONERS? [1:38:52] SEEING NONE, COMMISSIONER SCHANFIELD, WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE THE MOTION? >> YES, I WOULD LIKE TO SUBMIT THIS AS THE THEORY OF ACTION FOR [1:38:59] PPRR COMMITTEE. >> IS THERE A SECOND? >> SECOND. >> ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? [1:39:06] ALL RIGHT, CLERK, IF YOU CAN CALL THE ROLL. >> COMMISSIONER SCHANFIELD. [1:39:12] >> AYE. >> NEWMAN. >> YES. >> CLEMENT. >> AYE. >> BAKER. [1:39:17] >> AYE. >> ZYLA. >> AYE. >> CANADAY. >> AYE. >> BARTZ. [1:39:23] >> AYE. >> SMITH. >> AYE. >> VICE CHAIR OLSEN. >> AYE. >> AND CHAIR REEVES. [1:39:28] >> YES. >> THERE ARE TEN AYES. >> THANK YOU. THE AYES HAVE IT AND THE THEORY OF ACTION FOR THE PPRR WORK [1:39:34] GROUP IS ADOPTED. [1:39:41] CLERK, DO YOU SEE THE CALENDAR DATES? I'M NOT SEEING IT. IS IT ON THE AGENDA? [1:39:46] OH THANK YOU. THE LAST PAGE IN YOUR LARGE [1:39:51] PACKET HAS THE 2026 CCPO CALENDAR. [1:39:58] SO THE REGULAR MEETING DATES FOR JANUARY AND FEBRUARY ARE BEFORE US. [1:40:04] WE HAVE ON HERE A CCPO MEETING BEING JANUARY 12TH AND FEBRUARY 9TH. [1:40:13] ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE COMMISSIONERS REGARDING THOSE TWO DATES IN JANUARY OR FEBRUARY? [1:40:18] >> CAN YOU CLARIFY WHY WE'RE JUST DOING TWO MONTHS? >> WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE [1:40:25] CITY COUNCIL DOES THEIR OFFICIAL CALENDAR, IF THE CLERK WANTS TO CLARIFY THAT. [1:40:30] I SEE HEAD NODS. >> I'M SORRY, CHAIR, DID YOU SAY [1:40:35] DID WE WANT TO CLARIFY THAT? YES, SO ESPECIALLY AT THE BEGINNING OF A NEW TERM, WE [1:40:40] DON'T EVEN HAVE A COUNCIL CALENDAR ADOPTED BECAUSE WE ADOPT THAT FOR FOUR YEARS AT A [1:40:48] TIME. AND UNOFFICIALLY I THINK THE CITY ENTERPRISE LARGELY FOLLOWS [1:40:53] THE COUNCIL CALENDAR TO SOME DEGREE. SO THE WHOLE CITY IS PROBABLY KIND OF ON A PAUSE RIGHT NOW [1:40:59] BECAUSE WE JUST FINISHED AN ELECTION AND WILL BE ADOPTING A CALENDAR ON JANUARY 5TH. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. [1:41:06] ALL RIGHT, ANY OTHER COMMENTS? COMMISSIONER SCHANFIELD. >> I'M WONDERING IF WE COULD HAVE A BRIEF DISCUSSION UP HERE [1:41:11] ABOUT THE CYCLE OF MEETINGS SO WHEN THE COMMITTEES SHOULD MEET IDEALLY BASED ON WHEN THE LARGE [1:41:17] GROUP MEETING IS. I JUST LOVE SOME PEOPLE'S IDEAS, I HAVE MY OWN. [1:41:22] BUT CURIOUS IF WE COULD DISCUSS THE IDEAL AND WHEN WE GET A COUNCIL CALENDAR, WE CAN AMEND [1:41:28] AS NEEDED. WHEN DO PEOPLE THINK IDEALLY THE COMMITTEES WOULD MEET IN RELATION TO THE LARGE MEETING? [1:41:37] >> COMMISSIONER SMITH, DID YOU HAVE AN IDEA AS A CHAIR? >> MADAM CHAIR, COMMISSIONER [1:41:42] SCHANFIELD, I GUESS I FIND IT HELPFUL TO HAVE THE COMMITTEE MEETING SEPARATED BY AT LEAST [1:41:49] TEN DAYS FROM THE FULL COMMISSION MEETING SO THAT AS WE AS A COMMITTEE WILL BRING [1:41:54] RECOMMENDATIONS FORWARD, THERE'S TIME FOR THE STAFF TO DO THE WORK AND THEY MIGHT PREFER SOMETHING MORE LIKE TWO WEEKS. [1:42:02] BUT SOMETHING IN THAT CYCLE. SO THAT I THINK WOULD BE THE [1:42:07] MAIN PIECE SO THAT IT'S SEPARATED ENOUGH THAT IF THE COMMITTEE HAS WORK AND [1:42:13] RECOMMENDATIONS TO BRING, THE STAFF CAN FINALIZE IT AND PUT IT ON THE FULL AGENDA. [1:42:18] >> OKAY. COMMISSIONER SCHANFIELD, YOUR IDEA FOR PPRR? [1:42:23] >> SIMILARLY, I THINK THEN THE QUESTION WOULD BE CAN PPRR OR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT MEET THE [1:42:29] SAME NIGHT OR THE SAME WEEK, DOES THE CITY HAVE STAFF CAPACITY FOR THAT? BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE IDEAL IS [1:42:35] HALFWAY THROUGH THE MONTH. >> I GUESS THAT WOULD BE A COMMENT FOR CITY STAFF IF THAT [1:42:41] WOULD BE A POSSIBILITY. >> THE SAME NIGHT LIKELY WON'T [1:42:47] WORK BECAUSE I WON'T BE ABLE TO ATTEND BOTH MEETINGS. SO DIFFERENT NIGHTS WOULD BE [1:42:53] PREFERRED. >> PERHAPS IN THE SAME WEEK MAYBE? >> THAT'S OKAY WITH ME SO LONG AS IT'S OKAY WITH THE [1:42:58] COMMISSIONERS. >> I WONDER IF THERE'S A WORLD IN WHICH WE COULD DO THEM BACK [1:43:03] TO BACK, IS THAT CRAZY? >> PERHAPS. IT COULD BE ANYWHERE FROM 4 TO 6 [1:43:10] HOURS OF MEETINGS AFTER THE WORK DAY, SO I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF YOU GUYS WOULD WANT TO DO THAT. [1:43:16] YEAH. >> FAIR POINT. WE'LL TAKE MERCY ON YOU. >> WE DON'T HAVE TO GO THAT [1:43:25] HARD. >> THANK YOU. WE HAVE JANUARY 12TH AND FEBRUARY 9TH AS THE TWO CALENDAR DATES AND WE HAVE SOME [1:43:30] SUGGESTIONS IN TERMS OF WHEN THE COMMITTEES CAN MEET AFTER TEN DAYS APPROXIMATELY YOU CAN [1:43:36] DISCUSS FURTHER WITH CITY STAFF. IF THERE'S NO OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS, CLERK, CAN YOU PLEASE [1:43:42] CALL THE ROLL ON THE TWO CALENDAR DATES FOR JANUARY AND [1:43:47] FEBRUARY? >> COMMISSIONER SCHANFIELD. >> AYE. >> NEWMAN. >> AYE. >> CLEMENT. [1:43:54] >> AYE. >> BAKER. >> AYE. >> ZYLA. >> AYE. >> CANADAY. [1:44:00] >> AYE. >> BARTZ. >> YES. >> SMITH. [1:44:05] >> AYE. >> VICE CHAIR OLSEN. >> AYE. >> AND CHAIR REEVES. >> AYE. >> THERE ARE TEN AYES. >> THANK YOU, THE AYES HAVE IT [1:44:12] AND THE JANUARY AND FEBRUARY REGULAR MEETING DATES HAVE BEEN ADOPTED. THE FINAL ITEM ON OUR AGENDA IS TO GIVE AN OVERVIEW OF THE [1:44:19] NACOLE CONFERENCE THE COMMISSIONERS ATTENDED. WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCES? [1:44:28] NOT EVERYBODY RUSH. COMMISSIONER OLSEN. [1:44:33] >> I'LL START. THE IDEA TO HAVE COMMISSIONERS SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCES CAME AFTER THE FINAL SESSION WHEN A [1:44:40] NUMBER OF US WERE MEETING AND DOING A QUICK REVIEW OF THE [1:44:51] CONFERENCE AND HOW VALUABLE WE THOUGHT IT WAS. WE THOUGHT LET'S GET IT ON THE AGENDA AND LET'S SHARE WHAT OUR [1:44:57] REACTIONS WERE. I WANT TO SAY THANKS TO WHOEVER [1:45:05] IN THE CITY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SENDING US THERE BECAUSE I THINK IT WAS AN EXTREMELY VALUABLE [1:45:13] EXPERIENCE. THE TIME YOU SPEND WITH OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE ENGAGED IN THIS [1:45:20] WHAT THEY WOULD ALWAYS REFER TO AS THE WORK, THE PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN CIVILIAN [1:45:27] OVERSIGHT, WHO ARE INTERESTED IN POLICING AND IMPROVING POLICING, [1:45:32] THE TIME WE SPENT TOGETHER WITH THOSE OTHER PEOPLE FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY WAS JUST SUPER [1:45:39] ENRICHING AND VALUABLE AND IT GAVE ME SORT OF A NEW ENTHUSIASM FOR THE WORK WE DO. [1:45:48] A COUPLE SESSIONS WERE REALLY VALUABLE TO ME. [1:45:53] ONE WAS BECAUSE MY BACKGROUND, THERE WAS A SESSION ON LEGAL ISSUES, A SESSION DESIGNED FOR [1:45:59] LAWYERS. AND IT WAS KIND OF AN OPEN FORUM LED BY THE GENERAL COUNSEL FOR [1:46:07] THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA'S POLICE OVERSIGHT COMMISSION, THEY HAVE THEIR OWN LAWYER. [1:46:14] AND IT WAS A WIDE RANGING DISCUSSION AND JUST REALLY [1:46:19] FASCINATING TO SEE WHAT KIND OF ISSUES ARE COMMON ACROSS CITIES AS BIG AS PHILADELPHIA AND AS [1:46:27] SMALL AS WELL SPOKANE ISN'T SUPER SMALL, BUT IT WAS ONE OF [1:46:32] THE SMALLER CITIES THERE. AND I'LL HIGHLIGHT ONE MORE [1:46:41] SESSION MORE FOR ITS STORY VALUE AND INTEREST RATHER THAN ITS DIRECT APPLICATION TO OUR WORK [1:46:47] AND THAT WAS A SESSION ON HOW POLICE DEPARTMENTS AND OVERSIGHT [1:46:52] BODIES ARE DEALING WITH IMMIGRATION ISSUES AND INTERACTION WITH BORDER PATROL [1:47:02] AND I.C.E. AGENTS. AND THE STORY THAT I KEEP REVISITING IN MY MIND CAME FROM TWO PEOPLE FROM THE CITY OF OAK [1:47:09] PARK, ILLINOIS, WHICH IS THE SUBURB JUST WEST OF CHICAGO AND [1:47:14] NEXT TO THE TOWN THAT THE BROADVIEW DETENTION FACILITY IS [1:47:20] IN. AND THE MAYOR AND THE HEAD OF THE CITY COUNCIL WERE BOTH AT [1:47:25] NACOLE. AND THE MAYOR DESCRIBED HER [1:47:30] PROTEST WHERE SHE WAS STANDING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AT THE BROADVIEW DETENTION FACILITY [1:47:36] NEXT TO THE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER AND THEY WERE DOING EXACTLY THE SAME THING. [1:47:43] AND THE POLICE TOLD HER TO [1:47:49] DISPURSE. SHE IS A WHITE WOMAN. THE HEAD OF THE CITY COUNCIL IS NAMED JOSE MUNOZ, AND THEY TACKLED HIM AND DETAINED HIM FOR [1:47:55] SEVEN HOURS FOR DOING EXACTLY THE SAME THING AS THE MAYOR. AND I KEEP THINKING OF THAT AND I THINK THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE [1:48:01] THAT THAT'S COMING HERE AND WE NEED TO, WE'D BE WELL ADVISED TO THINK ABOUT IT. >> THANK YOU. [1:48:07] ANYONE ELSE? COMMISSIONER BAKER. [1:48:12] >> IT WAS HERE TODAY, IT WAS IN ST. PAUL TODAY. BUT YES. A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT STOOD [1:48:18] OUT TO ME; ONE WAS, AND I DON'T REMEMBER WHICH SESSION IT WAS [1:48:24] MENTIONED, BUT THAT THE AVERAGE CIVILIAN OVERSIGHT HAS NINE [1:48:31] STAFF MEMBERS AND A $1 MILLION BUDGET AND THAT THE RECOMMENDATION IS ABOUT 1% OF THE POLICE BUDGET AND OUR POLICE [1:48:37] BUDGET IS IN THE $230 MILLION RANGE. SO LISTEN TO BEING UNDERRESOURCED WHEN WE GOT THE [1:48:42] COMMENT ABOUT THE EARLIER MOTION, WE'RE AT A DISADVANTAGE BECAUSE WE DON'T ACTUALLY ALLOCATE ANY RESOURCES [1:48:49] WHATSOEVER. AND SO WE DON'T GET TO PICK WHAT TYPE OF RESEARCH WE'RE DOING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. [1:48:55] AND JUST THINKING ABOUT HOW WE CAN, I UNDERSTAND SOME OF THOSE [1:49:00] DOLLARS ARE BEING SPENT BY THE CITY JUST NOT DIRECTED BY US. BUT THINKING ABOUT HOW WE CAN [1:49:07] HAVE CIVILIAN OVERSIGHT WHEN WE DON'T HAVE ANY OF OUR OWN [1:49:13] RESOURCES OR OTHER THAN WHAT IS KIND OF HANDED TO US, I DON'T [1:49:18] KNOW HOW TO SQUARE THAT. I'M STILL TRYING TO FIGURE THAT OUT. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? [1:49:25] COMMISSIONER CANADAY. >> I WOULD ECHO THE POSITIVE [1:49:30] COMMENTS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN SAID. JUST A COUPLE OF ADDITIONAL [1:49:37] OBSERVATIONS. ONE, I DON'T HAVE THE CONFERENCE THEME ON ANYTHING THAT I BROUGHT HERE WITH ME, SO I DON'T [1:49:42] REMEMBER WHAT THE ENTIRE TITLE WAS, BUT PART OF THE THEME FOR THE ENTIRE CONFERENCE WAS [1:49:48] FOCUSED ON THE POST GEORGE FLOYD WORLD THAT WE ALL LIVE IN. [1:49:53] AND AT LEAST THE WAY I EXPERIENCED IT FROM TALKING TO LOTS OF PEOPLE THERE, IT WAS [1:49:58] MEANINGFUL FOR EVERYBODY WHO WAS THERE TO BE IN MINNEAPOLIS FIVE YEARS AFTER GEORGE FLOYD. [1:50:03] SO IT WAS ACTUALLY JUST KIND OF THROUGHOUT THAT WHOLE WEEK, IT WAS AN INTERESTING EXPERIENCE TO [1:50:10] EXPERIENCE THAT BOTH AS SOMEBODY WHO LIVES IN MINNEAPOLIS AND WERE PART OF THIS WORK IN MINNEAPOLIS, BUT WE WERE WITH PEOPLE FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY [1:50:17] AND I THINK SOME FROM AROUND THE WORLD WHO DO THIS WORK WHERE IT WAS JUST AS MEANINGFUL TO THEM [1:50:23] TO BE HERE KIND OF TALKING ABOUT THAT FIVE YEARS THAT WE ARE [1:50:29] FINISHING LIVING THROUGH. AND SO JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY UNDERSTOOD THAT [1:50:34] THAT THEME WAS KIND OF REPEATED THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. WE GOT TO HEAR FROM A NUMBER OF [1:50:40] LOCAL PEOPLE FROM WITHIN THE CITY AND OTHER GROUPS THAT THE [1:50:45] COMMISSION WORKS WITH. SO IT WAS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR A NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN MINNEAPOLIS TO SPEAK TO THIS [1:50:52] LARGE GROUP. I WANTED TO ECHO THE THANKS TO THE CITY FOR SENDING ALL OF US [1:50:57] TO THE CONFERENCE, GIVING EVERYBODY THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO THE CONFERENCE. AND SO NOT TO RAIN ON THE PARADE [1:51:02] OF THE CELEBRATION, BUT THE CITY ALMOST MESSED THAT UP AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO [1:51:08] CELEBRATE THAT THEY DIDN'T, BUT CALL THEM OUT FOR ALMOST MESSING THAT UP BECAUSE I KNOW IT WAS AN [1:51:15] EXPENSE TO REGISTER A NUMBER OF US WHEN THE CONFERENCE HAPPENED TO BE HERE IN MINNEAPOLIS. BUT I WAS ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO [1:51:21] WAS SAYING THAT THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY WE CAN'T MISS. OBVIOUSLY THAT WON'T BE TRUE IN [1:51:27] FUTURE YEARS AND WE WON'T ALL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO. BUT TRAINING OF THIS TYPE IS [1:51:33] REALLY IMPORTANT FOR WHOEVER IS ON THIS COMMISSION. AND INTERACTING WITH ALL OF THE PEOPLE FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY [1:51:39] WHO ARE DOING IT IS VERY IMPORTANT IN WAYS THAT ARE HARD TO QUANTIFY. SO IT'S GOOD THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT HERE, BUT JUST WANT TO [1:51:46] MAKE SURE THE CITY UNDERSTANDS THAT THERE REALLY IS AN INCREASE [1:51:52] IN THE INTELLIGENCE AND WORLDVIEW OF THE COMMISSION AND THE WORK THAT WE'RE DOING BY LETTING US HAVE THOSE [1:51:59] OPPORTUNITIES. >> THANK YOU. I'LL JUST ADD BRIEFLY, I CONCUR WITH ALL OF THE COMMENTS. COMMISSIONER CANADAY, IT'S [1:52:07] RECKONING AND RESILIENCE IN THE POST GEORGE FLOYD ERA WAS THE NAME OF THE CONFERENCE FOR 2025. [1:52:12] I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE OF GOING FOR THE LAST, THIS IS MY THIRD NACOLE CONFERENCE, WHICH IS THE [1:52:18] NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF CIVILIAN OVERSIGHT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT. THERE WAS SOMETHING VERY POIGNANT ABOUT IT BEING IN MINNEAPOLIS, BEING HERE FOR THE [1:52:24] FIFTH YEAR OF THE MURDER OF GEORGE FLOYD WAS VERY IMPACTFUL. SHOUT OUT TO COMMISSIONER [1:52:29] STEWART WHO WAS ABLE TO GET PEOPLE REALLY GOOD INFORMATION ABOUT TOURING IN GEORGE FLOYD SQUARE. [1:52:34] PEOPLE WERE COMING UP AND ASKING ME BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T NECESSARILY GETTING THE RIGHT INFORMATION ON HOW TO GET THERE, SO SHE STEPPED IN FOR THAT. [1:52:40] BUT IT WAS TRULY IMPACTFUL. AND GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO CO-CHAIR THE BOARD'S COMMISSION AND TRAINING ON SUNDAY. [1:52:46] I WENT WITH WONDERFUL GEORGE PEREZ OUT OF CALIFORNIA, DOES A LOT OF TRAINING NATIONALLY, BUT [1:52:52] NOW IS ON THE NACOLE BOARD. SO A POWERHOUSE WE WERE ABLE TO LEARN FROM AND GLAD THAT HE WAS [1:52:57] ABLE TO BE HERE AND TRAIN US ON THAT. JUST REALLY GOOD EXPERIENCES, REALLY GOOD CONVERSATIONS. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THE PUBLIC [1:53:03] TO GO ON THE NACOLE WEBSITE, LOOK AT WHAT PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT ACROSS THE COUNTRY. [1:53:08] IT'S NOT JUST LITTLE MINNEAPOLIS. THERE'S PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD DOING THIS WORK THAT ARE REALLY PASSIONATE ABOUT CIVILIAN [1:53:15] OVERSIGHT. IT LOOKS DIFFERENT IN DIFFERENT JURISDICTIONS. WE DON'T GET THE BUDGET THAT EVERYONE ELSE GETS, BUT WE HAVE A LOT OF PASSION ON THIS BOARD. [1:53:21] WE'VE GOT A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WANT TO DO THIS WORK, SO REALLY APPRECIATE ALL OF THE HARD WORK. [1:53:27] AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT PEOPLE ARE DOING ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AND WHAT SUPPORT THEY'RE NOT [1:53:32] GETTING AND I THINK ABOUT HOW MINNEAPOLIS IS TRYING THEIR BEST TO SUPPORT US, BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE DON'T EVEN GET THE [1:53:38] SUPPORT THAT WE DO EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T HAVE THE BIG BUDGET. KUDOS TO MINNEAPOLIS, WE CAN [1:53:44] ALWAYS DO THINGS BETTER, BUT THIS IS HARD WORK AND KUDOS TO YOU ALL WHO MAKE IT HAPPEN. REALLY APPRECIATED THE [1:53:50] CONFERENCE AND THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER SCHANFIELD. >> JUST THREE A COUPLE QUICK [1:53:57] REFLECTIONS HERE IN ADDITION TO ECHOING WHAT THE OTHER COMMISSIONERS HAVE SAID. THE THING THAT I CAN'T STOP [1:54:03] THINKING ABOUT IS THE QUESTION, I THINK IT WAS GEORGE PEREZ WHO ASKED WHAT COULD BE DONE DIFFERENTLY TO HAVE ACHIEVED A [1:54:09] BETTER OUTCOME? AND THAT QUESTION REALLY RESONATED WITH ME OF IN ANY SITUATION, WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN [1:54:15] DONE BETTER TO ACHIEVE A DIFFERENT OUTCOME? AND I WONDERED WHILE WE'RE SITTING ON A PANEL, IS THAT A QUESTION WE CAN ASK AT THE END? [1:54:21] WHAT COULD HAVE GONE DIFFERENTLY? AND THEN THAT NEEDS TO INFORM THE POLICY AND THE TRAINING. [1:54:27] SO I WANT TO KIND OF KEEP THAT QUESTION TOP OF MIND. THE NEXT THING THAT STUCK OUT TO [1:54:33] ME IS THAT THERE IS MANY RESOURCES SUCH AS THE EVIDENCE-BASED POLICING MATRIX. THAT'S A RESEARCH TO PRACTICE [1:54:39] TRANSLATION TOOL. IT COLLECTS AND SUMMARIZES AND ORGANIZES FROM MODERATE TO VERY [1:54:45] RIGOROUS EVALUATIONS OF POLICE INTERVENTIONS AND ALLOWS BOTH CIVILIANS, AGENCIES, AND [1:54:50] RESEARCHERS TO VIEW A LOT OF RESEARCH AND BEST PRACTICES, SO I'M GOING TO -- I SHARED THAT [1:54:57] LINK WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION UNIT, I'M GOING TO USE THAT WITH OUR COMMITTEE SO THAT AS WE'RE [1:55:03] LOOKING AT DIFFERENT COURSES OF [1:55:08] STUDY AND PRACTICES. AT ONE POINT SOMEONE, I THINK IN [1:55:14] A LARGE SESSION SAID CONSTITUTIONAL POLICING IS THE FLOOR AND NOT THE CEILING. I REALIZE IN OUR STRATEGIC PLAN [1:55:19] AND IN OUR MISSION STATEMENT, WE TALK ABOUT CONSTITUTIONAL POLICING. SO I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO AMEND THAT AND TO CHANGE THAT TO [1:55:27] NONDISCRIMINATORY POLICING PRACTICES, BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S WHAT I LEARNED IS THAT THAT IS A HIGHER LEVEL OR A NEXT LEVEL. AND I THINK WE WOULD LIKE, I [1:55:34] WOULD LIKE US TO MEET THAT LEVEL. IS THAT AN APPROPRIATE TIME TO [1:55:41] MAKE THIS MOTION? >> YES, IF YOU CAN RESTATE IT PLEASE. >> IN OUR STRATEGIC PLAN AND IN OUR MISSION, I DON'T HAVE THE [1:55:47] MISSION STATEMENT HERE, BUT I CAN PULL IT UP. [1:55:52] >> IT SHOULD BE FINE. WE CAN JUST CHANGE THE LANGUAGE. IF YOU JUST WANT TO CHANGE THE LANGUAGE FROM CONSTITUTIONAL -- >> OUR MISSION IS TO PROVIDE [1:55:58] STRATEGIC RECOMMENDATIONS EFFECTIVE DISCIPLINE AND EXCELLENT COMMUNITY OVERSIGHT IN [1:56:04] SUSTAINING AND SHAPING CONSTITUTIONAL POLICING IN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. THAT'S OUR CURRENT DRAFT OF OUR MISSION. [1:56:10] AND I'D LIKE TO AMEND, REMOVE THE WORD CONSTITUTIONAL AND [1:56:16] SUBSTITUTE THAT WITH NONDISCRIMINATORY, PLEASE. >> OKAY. IS THERE A SECOND? [1:56:23] >> SO MOVED. >> WE'LL TAKE COMMISSIONER CLEMENT'S SECOND. [1:56:30] ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? OKAY, SEEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, CLERK, IF YOU CAN CALL THE ROLL ON AMENDING OUR [1:56:37] STRATEGIC PLAN LANGUAGE? >> COMMISSIONER SCHANFIELD. >> AYE. >> NEWMAN. >> AYE. [1:56:42] >> CLEMENT. >> AYE. >> BAKER. >> AYE. >> ZYLA. [1:56:48] >> AYE. >> CANADAY. >> AYE. >> BARTZ. >> AYE. >> SMITH. [1:56:54] >> AYE. >> VICE CHAIR OLSEN. >> AYE. >> AND CHAIR REEVES. >> YES. >> THERE ARE TEN AYES. [1:57:00] >> ALL RIGHT, THAT MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU. >> I JUST HAD ONE LAST THING. [1:57:07] FOR US TO PUT ON OUR RADAR THE DEADLINE FOR PRESENTING AT NACOLE. BECAUSE I THINK THERE'S [1:57:12] OPPORTUNITY, NOW THAT WE KNOW, NOW THAT WE'VE BEEN ENGAGED IN THE WORK FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS, [1:57:18] WE'RE DEVELOPING OUR OWN EXPERTISE AND I WOULD REALLY LIKE FOR US TO CONSIDER PRESENTING IN THE FUTURE. [1:57:23] SO LET'S LOOK IT UP. I CAN COMMIT TO FINDING OUT WHEN THE DEADLINE IS, BUT LET'S KEEP THAT ON OUR RADAR. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. [1:57:30] >> JUST HAVE A QUICK COMMENT REGARDING NACOLE FOR MYSELF. I DO AGREE THAT IT WAS A VERY [1:57:38] POWERFUL EVENT. I DIDN'T REALLY LIKE HEARING ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS WHERE SOME OF THE SPEAKERS WERE ACTING AS [1:57:43] IF THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHO WE WERE. AS WELL AS I WAS NOT INFORMED [1:57:49] ABOUT ACROSS THE RIVER JUST A FEW MILES AWAY ABOUT ST. PAUL AND THEIR COMMISSION THAT THEY [1:57:55] HAVE OVER THERE. SO I THINK WITH US AS OUR BODY THAT WE SHOULD TAKE AN [1:58:01] OPPORTUNITY TO GO ACROSS THE RIVER, SEE THE WORK THAT THEY'RE DOING AND TRY TO MIRROR IT AS [1:58:06] WELL FOR OURSELVES HERE ON THIS END. WITH THE NEW YEAR COMING UP, WE [1:58:11] CAN MAYBE MAKE A NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION TO DO BETTER, WORK BETTER, WORK HARDER IN REGARDING [1:58:17] THIS PLATFORM THAT WE HAVE HERE. AND THEN TO GET TO KNOW OUR COUNTER PARTNERS ACROSS THE [1:58:23] RIVER. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER BARTZ. >> YEAH, I JUST WANTED TO POINT [1:58:32] OUT ONE OF MY PET INTERESTS WAS ACTUALLY FAIRLY PROMINENT IN A [1:58:39] FEW PANELS DURING THE CONVENTION. EXCUSE ME. AND THAT IS IN TRAINING ISSUES. [1:58:47] A FEW DIFFERENT PANELISTS BROUGHT IT UP. AND THERE WAS ONE FORMER OFFICER [1:58:55] ACTUALLY, 20-YEAR VETERAN OF CINCINNATI POLICE DEPARTMENT, I BELIEVE, WHO RAISED IT IN HIS COMMENTS A FEW TIMES. [1:59:01] BUT THE ISSUE OF THE FACT THAT TRAINING CAN EITHER BE AN ASSET [1:59:06] REFORM OR AN -- REFORM. SO I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT [1:59:14] THAT I WANT TO STAY FOCUSED ON THIS. I THINK IT'S CRITICAL. [1:59:20] I DON'T SENSE THAT MAYBE THE DEPARTMENT AGREES THAT IT'S THAT [1:59:27] IMPORTANT. BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO TRACK FROM SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT THROUGH POLICY INTO [1:59:33] ACTUAL TRAINING AND TO BE ABLE TO SOMEHOW MONITOR THAT TO MAKE [1:59:39] SURE THAT TRAINERS ARE BEING CONSISTENT WITH NEW POLICY ESPECIALLY. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. [1:59:45] >> THANKS. >> ANYONE ELSE? COMMISSIONER SMITH. >> I THINK TWO QUICK THINGS THAT [1:59:54] I REFLECTED ON. [1:59:59] ONE IS THE INFORMAL DISCUSSIONS WITH PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY THAT ARE SERVING IN THIS ROLE WAS EQUALLY VALUABLE TO ME [2:00:06] ALONGSIDE ATTENDING SESSIONS. AND WHAT STRUCK ME IS THERE'S SUCH A WIDE VARIETY OF AUTHORITY [2:00:13] THAT CIVILIAN REVIEW OPERATES WITH THAT IT'S VERY INSTRUCTIVE FOR US TO REALIZE THAT WE'RE ON [2:00:19] A CONTINUUM AND THAT WE CAN, WE DON'T JUST ACCEPT EXACTLY THE [2:00:24] AUTHORITY THE CITY COUNCIL HAVE GIVEN US, BUT I THINK OVER TIME AS WE LEARN, WE CAN IMPROVE THE [2:00:33] PROCESSES AND ALSO PERHAPS ADJUST OUR AUTHORITY TO BETTER SERVE THE MISSION. AND I THINK THERE'S SO MANY [2:00:40] DIFFERENT EXAMPLES BOTH FROM LARGE CITIES AND SMALL COMMUNITIES THAT ARE DOING THIS WORK THAT WE CAN LEARN FROM THAT [2:00:48] TO ADVANCE THE MISSION AND REFORM OUR CHARGE. THE OTHER THING IS AN EMOTIONAL [2:00:54] ONE WHICH IS JUST TO STAND IN THAT ROOM WHERE THE PLENARY SESSION FIRST CONVENED. [2:00:59] I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT NUMBER, BUT IT SEEMED LIKE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE GATHERED FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. [2:01:05] IT FELT LIKE THERE IS A MOVEMENT OF DOING THIS WORK. [2:01:10] AND I KNOW IT'S VERY CHALLENGING, BUT IT WAS REALLY INSPIRING TO SEE AND CONNECT [2:01:16] WITH THAT NUMBER OF PEOPLE COMMITTED TO THE WORK. >> THANK YOU. [2:01:21] JUST ANOTHER BRIEF NOW THAT YOU'VE SAID THAT, I WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT COMMISSIONER [2:01:28] LUCERILLE FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RIGHTS WAS ON ONE OF THE PANELS. AND SHE MADE A POINT TO SAY THAT [2:01:34] SHE WATCHES THE COMMISSION MEETINGS AND SHE REALLY APPRECIATED THE LEVEL OF ENGAGEMENT THAT WE HAD. IN PARTICULAR AROUND THE [2:01:40] IMMIGRATION POLICY, HAVING THE DISCUSSIONS ON THE DAIS, AND SHE ALSO MADE A POINT TO SAY THAT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE [2:01:47] DISCUSSED THEY'VE TAKEN BACK TO THE WORK THAT SHE'S DOING AND IMPLEMENTED SOME OF THOSE THINGS. WE DON'T USUALLY FIND THAT OUT, [2:01:52] WE DON'T HEAR ABOUT THAT. BUT SHE MADE A POINT TO SEE THAT AND THAT WAS REALLY NICE. [2:01:58] SO KUDOS. IF SHE IS WATCHING OR HER STAFF IS WATCHING AND THEY HEAR WHAT WE'RE SAYING AND THEY HAVE [2:02:04] DISCUSSIONS AND DO WHATEVER THEY DO WITH INFORMATION THEY HEAR FROM US, SO WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT. AND ALSO COMMISSIONER [2:02:10] SCHANFIELD, TO YOUR POINT ABOUT WHAT GEORGE PEREZ AND WHAT HE STATED AND WHAT COULD YOU HAVE [2:02:16] DONE DIFFERENTLY, I THINK ABOUT THAT WHEN WE'RE DOING THE PANELS, AND MAYBE IT'S HELPFUL WHEN YOU'RE DOING THE PANELS AND [2:02:21] LISTENING, WHEN YOU'RE MAKING THE RECOMMENDATIONS THOSE THAT DO SIT ON PANELS, PUT IT IN YOUR [2:02:27] COMMENTS, WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE DIFFERENTLY. IT'S SOMETHING THE CHIEF CAN LOOK AT, IT'S SOMETHING THE [2:02:33] FOCUS OFFICER CAN LOOK AT, WHAT COULD BE DONE DIFFERENTLY IN THE SITUATION, KIND OF GIVES A [2:02:39] DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE. I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO PUT THAT SUGGESTION IN THERE SO EVERYONE CAN BE SEEN AND HEARD. [2:02:45] COMMISSIONER BARTZ. >> YEAH, I WANT TO SECOND THAT. I SAT IN ON THE OFFICER-CREATED [2:02:52] JEOPARDY PANEL WHICH WAS EXCEPTIONAL. AND THAT WAS KIND OF MY [2:02:58] TAKEAWAY. EVEN WHEN THERE'S SITUATIONS WHERE AN OFFICER HELPS CREATE A SITUATION WHERE THEY FEEL UNDER THREAT AND THEY FEEL THEN THAT [2:03:05] THEY HAVE TO USE FORCE INCLUDING DEADLY FORCE. WITHOUT THAT EXTREME EXAMPLE, IT [2:03:12] KIND OF APPLIES ON LOWER LEVELS AND THE BASIC QUESTION OF IS THE [2:03:19] OFFICER ESCALATING OR DE-ESCALATING THE SITUATION. AND I THINK ANYBODY WHO'S BEEN [2:03:24] ON A PANEL CAN KIND OF INTERPRET BEHAVIORS AND STATEMENTS AND [2:03:34] TONES. IT JUST REMINDED ME TO MAKE NOTE OF THAT AND TO MAKE COMMENTS [2:03:39] ABOUT IT IN OUR CONCLUSIONS. THANKS. >> THANK YOU. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? [2:03:48] OKAY. WITH THAT, WE'VE COMPLETED ALL OF OUR AGENDA ITEMS FOR THIS MEETING. WITHOUT ANY OBJECTION, THE [2:03:53] COMMISSION STANDS ADJOURNED. HAVE A GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. THANK YOU.
