Great,

I
wanted

some
quick
introduction
of
who

here
with

today.
So
as
of
the
last
meeting
in
october,
we
were
building
our
opac
staff.
We
are
still
continuously
building
our
opec
staff,
but
we
have
grown
since
october.
In
october
we
had
a
staff
of
four,
including
myself.
We
are
now
to
a
staff
of
eight,
so
I
wanted
to
quickly
do
an
introduction
of
them.
So

october

the
executive
assistant
daniel
benjamin?
C
He
goes
by
benjamin

introduced
earlier

administrative
assistant.
He
is
responsible
for
the
boards.
We
have
three
boards.
The
opec
commission,
which
you
all
are
all
attending
today
who
meets
four
times
a
year.
The
slovenian
review
board,
who
was
recently
appointed
and
members
of
that
board,
are
here.
I
can
quickly
see
that
natalie
carreras
is
here.
C
I
think
amy

or

so
there
are
some
members
who

tower
register
is

community
of

the
internal
affairs
oversight
panel.
So

If
you
want

we
do
have
our
board
meetings,
please

we
will
add

that
link
to
get
updates
on
that.
Also,
there
is
john,
who
is
my
deputy
director.
He
is
on
here
somewhere.
Hopefully,
he'll
put
his
camera
on,
so
you
can
see
him
reynolds.
Who
is
the
chief
of
staff?
We
now
have
two
investigators.
C
There
is
toastery
and
mikal
who
are
also
here
and
andrew.
Who
is
our
admin
intake,
so
that
is
who's
rounding
out
our
opet
staff.
We
still
are
hiring
for
intake
workers
as
well
as
investigators
policy
data
analysts,
where
all
of
which
are
online
right
now,
the
city
of
boston.
So
please,
if
you
know
of
anyone,
if
you're
interested,
please
apply
to
be
a
part
of
our
growing
family
at
opec,
as
we
do
this
work
for
transparency
and
accountability
with
that
said,
I
want
to
introduce
our
commissioners.
A
C
B
I
C
C
So
I
wanted
to
give
a
few
updates
on
the
work
that
we
have
going
on
at
opat.
As
you
know,
I
said
that
we
have
some
staff
that
are
going
on.
We
also
have
updated
the
opat
website,
so
our
website
is
boston.gov
backslashop
on
there.
We
have
updated
our
website
to
include
the
complaints
that
come
in,
so
our
complaints
we
received
so
far
two
complaints.
C
Our
ordinance
requires
us
to
update
our
complaints
that
we
received
and
include
the
demographics
which
include
the
race,
ethnicity,
gender,
sexual
orientation,
if
known
and
the
age
of
the
complainants.
So
again,
we've
received
two
complaints
since
january,
and
both
of
those
statuses
are
currently
pending.
C
C
The
two
complainants
are
both
heterosexual
individuals.
One
complaint
is
from
dorchester
and
the
other
is
from
south
boston.
You
can
find
out
more
even
including
general
information
about
what
the
complaints
are
regarding
again
on
boston.gov
backslash
opac.
You
will
find
in
our
website
when
you
look
at
the
complaints.
C
We
just
started
doing
that
in
january,
so
it'll
update
march
1st
for
what
we
received
in
sept
in
february
and
that
you
will
find
that
that
information
will
include
a
very
general
statement
for
confidentiality
reasons.
We
don't
want
to
give
out
too
much
as
we
are
in
the
investigative
stages
of
our
complaints.
C
The
two
investigators
just
started
last
month,
but
they've
been
heavy
at
work
going
out
and
getting
information
about
the
different
complaints
and
because
it
is
an
investigative
stages,
we
do
try
to
keep
the
information
about
the
logistics
of
the
complaint
itself
very
general,
but
as
it
moves
through,
the
crb
members
will
be
updated
more
when
it
comes
down
to
that
time.
So
that's
where
we're
at
with
the
complaints
and
also
the
boston
police
department
has
also
provided
an
update
on
their
website.
C
So
on
to
some
more
heavier
things,
we
also
have
a
mandate
in
our
audience
that
we
complete
a
manual
and
part
of
that
manual
will
be
some
of
the
regulations
that
we
need
to
do
so.
There's
a
manual
and
there's
regulations
that
the
opec
commission
is
charged
with
doing
so.
This
commission
is
put
together.
So
it's
comprised
of
the
chairs
of
the
slovenia
review
board,
which
is
chair,
alvarez
and
the
chair
of
the
internal
oversight
panel,
which
is
honorable
judge
harris
and
myself.
C
C
C
C
For
the
slovenia
review
process,
it
was
in
sections
12,
16
10,
it
debate.
It
said
in
subsection
c
in
any
case
where
there
is
no
complaining
able
to
initiate
a
complaint
at
two-thirds
of
the
nine
members
of
the
crb
may
vote
to
authorize
an
investigation
or
take
any
such
actions
they
deem
appropriate
and
again
in
12
16
12-16
11
subsection.
A
any
person
may
file
a
complaint.
C
Excuse
me,
subsection
d.
This
is
any
findings
of
crb
will
be
made
by
two
thirds
of
the
vote
of
the
fo
nine
per
member
board,
and
so
in
that
case,
this
is
where
I
came
up
with
the
explanation
on
how
we
arrived
at
b6
for
the
quorum
and
for
the
civilian
for
the
internal
affairs
board.
The
only
mention
they
had
was
a
majority
vote
and
because
it
just
said,
majority
majority
would
be
three.
C
I
I
That
makes
it
makes
sense.
No,
no,
it
makes
sense.
I
just
was
clarifying
that
it
makes
sense
that
if
there's
six
there
in
order
to
do
certain
business,
you're
gonna
need
those
six
people
there
and
then
they
would
need
to
vote
for
that
particular
thing
so
that
having
a
quorum
of
six
makes
sense.
In
my
view,.
I
B
I
A
I
C
This
is
just
for
quorums.
This
just
means
that
you
can
conduct
business
as
far
as
for
the
civilian
review
board.
In
order
for
you
to
issue
a
discipline,
you
would
need
six
to
agree
out
of
nine,
so
you
need
all
six
to
say
yes
to
a
discipline
for
anything
to
pass
through
on
surveillance,
review
board.
You
would
need
all
six.
You
need
six
to
say.
C
Yes,
if
only
six
are
present
at
a
meeting
for
a
civilian
review
board,
all
six
would
have
to
say
yes
right,
so
it
wouldn't
be
two-thirds
of
that
six.
All
six
would
have
to
say
yes
or
it
would
not
go
through,
because
the
ordinance
says
you
need
two-thirds
of
the
nine,
the
full
nine
in
order
to
issue
a
discipline
or
to
initiate
a
complaint
where
a
complainant
is
not
available.
C
So
the
next
one,
I
think
we
can
probably
take
a
little
bit
more
action
on
is
the
meeting
schedules.
I
know
that
all
boards
want
to
know
how
they're
going
to
meet
the
only
one
I
did
not
set
a
time
for
is
the
opec
commission,
because
they're
community
meetings
they're
not
more
set
meetings,
so
we
try
to
just
come
up
because
again
we
do
have
to
re
commission.
I
do
try
to
separate
them
out
just
because
I
don't
want
to
confuse
everyone,
so
I
will
call
the
iop
panelists.
C
I
do
costs
the
crb
members
board
members,
and
I
call
us
commissioners
just
so
that
I'm
clear
who
sits
where,
but
we
in
the
office
did
try
to
lay
out
ben,
did
a
great
job
of
creating
a
calendar
for
me.
So
things
made
sense
to
look
at
I'm
in
a
visual
sense
of
when
everyone
can
meet
and
just
having
enough
time
to
schedule
a
meeting,
but
also
if
there
were
a
time
that
any
board
member
panel
member
or
commission
wanted
to
meet
in
between.
C
C
This
gives
a
chance
that
everyone
meets
once
a
month
and
there
is
actually
one
month
in
between
each
meeting
with
the
opec
commission
being
able
to
have
a
little
bit
more
time
in
between,
and
also
because
the
opec
commission
has
subpoena
power
if
either
of
these
boards
wanted
the
commission
to
meet
quicker.
It's
harder
for
us
to
set
a
time
if
we
need
to
come
together,
quicker
to
issue
a
subpoena
or
to
change
a
regulation
or
to
do
something
quicker
for
one
of
these
boards.
C
It's
there's
a
lot
of
reasons
why
the
opec
commission
would
not
have
a
time,
but
by
open
meeting
law
we
have
to
let
the
public
know
that
we're
going
to
do
something
within
48
hours,
so
we
would
definitely
do
it
according
to
public
meeting
law.
But
I
wanted
to
just
put
this
out
here
as
something
that
we
are
looking
at
as
timing,
and
if
everyone
was
okay
with
this,
we
would
need
to
possibly
come
together
and
vote
on
this
quicker.
I
C
No,
we
wouldn't
know
we
would
not
have
one
in
march
because,
as
we
mentioned
and
for
those
in
the
community
space,
we
are
having
a
board
retreat,
because
we
have
all
these
new
blood
members
we'll
be
having
a
board
retreat
next
month.
So
we
will
not
be
having
a
commission
meeting
in
march,
but
I
believe
that
we
will
have
a
meeting.
We
definitely
will
need
to
have
a
meeting
before
june
because
we
need
to
finalize
some
regulations
before
then,
so
we
will
be
having
a
meeting
before
june,
but
just
not.
I
In
march,
and
then
the
second
piece
which
I
I
know-
I
I
I
know
the
answer
to
this-
I
believe,
but
just
for
everyone's
kind
of
the
just
so
everyone's
clear,
so
this
would
be
technically
the
day
of
a
crb
meeting,
because
this
is
the
third
tuesday
of
this
month,
so
the
first
crb
meeting
will
be
may
3rd
once
this
is
adopted
correct.
Yes,
yes,
all
right
great!
Thank
you.
C
I
C
Yes,
I
do
think
that
the
opec
commission
in
the
first
year,
especially
while
we're
trying
to
get
the
regulations,
done,
trying
to
get
all
the
rules
and
set
in
place
for
the
other
two
balls
as
well,
we'll
probably
meet
a
little
bit
more
often
virtually,
but
once
we
are
up
and
running,
we
can
figure
out.
If
you
decide
you
want
to
set
them,
we
can
but,
and
we
can
set
them
in
advance.
C
C
C
So,
when
looking
at
what
would
constitute
an
incomplete
complaint,
we
don't
want
to
just
say
it's
incomplete.
We
can't
move
forward,
so
we
wanted
to
come
up
with
some
thorough
steps.
I've
met
with
the
boston
police
department,
as
I
do
on
a
regular
basis
and
just
tried
to
figure
out
for
them
what
happens
when
they
get
an
incomplete
complaint
in
the
steps
that
they
take.
C
So
we
adopted
some
of
what
they
do
and
I've
added
on
to
some
other
things
that
they
do,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
we
wanted
to
discuss
was
what
do
we
do
when
they
do
not
have
all
their
information?
So
if
there's
two
or
more
of
these
things
that
are
missing,
so
they
don't
know
the
officer's
name.
First
and
last
name,
they
don't
have
a
physical
description
of
the
officer
or
any
identifiable
information.
C
B
C
Yes,
so
we're
trying
to
figure
out
where
so
we're
going
to
part
of
our
charges
to
get.
We
had
to
first
complete
the
entire
intake,
because
we
just
had
it
on
the
google
form.
So
we
just
in
the
last
month,
completed
like
a
real
good
intake
form
that
was
going
to
be
able
to
capture
all
of
this
information.
C
C
So
we
are
going
to
leave
them
throughout
the
community,
so
we're
trying
to
figure
out
the
community,
centers
libraries
and
thinking
more
libraries
just
because
you
can
print
them
at
the
library
so
leave
them
at
libraries
and
some
community
centers
and
just
identifying
what
those
will
be
and
that's
something.
That's
a
commission.
C
C
I
will
do
that
as
well,
but
I
think
that's
something
we
can
do
in
the
future,
but
I
didn't
want
to
hold
up
doing
that,
but
I
definitely
want
to.
I
saw
one
I
think,
and
one
of
the
west
coast
states.
They
have
a
way
that
you
print
it
out.
It
already
has
their
like
label
return
thing
as
part
of
their
application
site.
It
was
just
harder
for
us
to
figure
out
how
to
do
it
without
figuring
out.
C
If
people
are
going
to
be
able
to
like
print
it
out
the
right
way
is
it
what
happens
if
it
doesn't
print
all
the
way
and
it
gets
lost
and
people
think
we
have
it,
so
it
just
became,
but
we'll
figure
it
out
with
you.
All's
help
between
you
and
chairman
alvarez.
I'm
hope,
I'm
just
hoping
that
we
can
do
this,
so
people
don't
have
to
pay
for
it,
but
we
can
be
creative.
I
always
say:
opat
was
created.
C
We
can
create
anything.
So
any
other
questions
before
you
move
on.
You
just
got
me
excited
because
I
was
really
excited
about
that.
You
have
no
idea.
I
think
john
reynolds
can
tell
you
how
I
was
excited.
I
forget,
I
think
I
don't
know
who
it
was.
I
want
to
say
with
san
diego
san
francisco.
If
we
get
one
of
them
have
it,
you
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
C
So
the
these
are
the
steps
that
we're
going
to
take
the
proposed
steps
to
take
in
case
we
do
have
a
incomplete,
so
we're
going
to
attempt
to
contact
them
by
email.
You
can
just
go
through
this
really
quick,
then
we'll
attempt
to
contact
them
by
phone
by
email
and
send
them
a
postcard
to
let
them
know
that's.
If
they
didn't
tell
us,
it
was
anonymous,
obviously
to
let
them
know
they
need
to
contact
us.
So
we
can
finish
completing
their
complaint.
C
C
Seven
days
we're
going
to
email,
you
we'll
wait
seven
days
and
then
we're
going
to
send
you
a
postcard
we're
going
to
wait
seven
days
so
after
the
21st
day
of
of
not
hearing
anything
from
you,
we're
then
going
to
send
you
like
a
you,
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
We'll
send
you
a
certified
letter
to
say
it.
Would
we
want
to
really
want
you
to
to
contact
us
and
it'll?
C
So
we'll
present
that
to
this
radio
review
board
and
the
civilian
review
board
again.
This
is
when
that
two-thirds
of
the
vote
will
come
in
with
this.
There
may
be
no
complaining,
or
they
want
us
to
just
move
forward,
because
they
can
at
civilian
review
board
to
just
authorize
us
to
still
investigate
without
having
all
that
information.
C
B
Because
I
was
concerned
about
the
time
frames
because,
if
you're
homeless,
for
instance,
it's
hard
to
have
a
way
to
make
that
contact
or
if
you
live
in
grove
hall
like
I
do,
we
don't
get
our
mail.
We
have
gone
weeks
without
getting
mail,
and
so
it
concerns
me
and
we
can
talk
about
it.
But
I'd
like
to
see
where
we
can
create
some
drop
boxes
or
something
where
people
can
leave
a
copy
of
the
complaint
for
us.
C
So
my
concern
about
leaving
any
drop
boxes
that
is
not
opec,
is
having
those
having
people
have
access
to
complaints
that
will
include
information
about
witnesses
or
complainants
or
police
officers
that
have
not
been
investigated
and
anyone
getting
access
to
it.
So
you
will
be
able
we
are
going
to
figure
out
how
to
create
a
dropbox
for
after
hours
at
opec
some
way
somehow.
So
we
have
to
build
that
out
that
I
don't
know
if
that's
going
to
be
immediate,
but
we
will
try
to
figure
that
out.
C
I
Just
something
on
the
for
drop
boxes,
just
kind
of
thinking
out
loud
and
the
you
know
how
how
the
city
does
voting
with
dropboxes
and
the
libraries
and
things
like
that,
like
those
are
pretty
secure
and
there's
existing
infrastructure,
I'm
not
sure.
If
that
would
be,
you
know
secure,
I
think,
process
and
security
wise.
I
think
it's
comparable,
so
maybe
something
to
think
about,
since
there
is
some
kind
of
existing
infrastructure
within
the
city.
For
that.
C
I
think
yeah,
I
think,
during
election
time
they
also
have
others
who
come
in
and
they
volunteer.
They
aren't.
They
have
a
larger
staff,
so
we
are
looking
at
having
four
intake
workers
and
four
investigators.
I
don't
know
who's
going
to
run
around
the
entire
city
of
boston
to
pick
them
up.
So
maybe.
C
Yeah,
I
do
think
that
if
we
did
have
like
one
dropbox
and
at
our
office,
that
would
be
great.
So
this
is.
This
is
just
for
incomplete
complaint
process.
So
this
is
if
we
can't
reach
anyone,
but
so,
even
if
you
dropped
it
in
our
dropbox
and
we
couldn't
reach
you
because
you
didn't
complete
everything,
we
don't
have
all
the
information
to
do
an
investigation.
C
Our
issue
is:
how
do
we
complete
it?
So
if
you
called
us
we're
gonna
get
all
the
information
we
need
from
you.
If
you-
and
so
that's
the
oh,
you
came
in
we're
gonna
get
everything
from
you,
so
we're
gonna
start
immediately,
but
it's
for
those
who
send
it
on
email.
Those
who
mail
it
in
those
are
the
things
that
we
or
even
if
you
do
a
dropbox,
that's
going
to
be
the
thing
that's
going
to
be
hard
for
us
to
keep
up
with.
C
If
we
to
the
judge's
point,
if
you
are
homeless,
if
you
don't
get
your
mail-
and
I
know
everyone's
been
struggling
with
mail
since
like
since
covet
how
do
so,
this
is
why
we
need
you
know.
So
it
is
part
of
the
audience
that
we
do
get
contact
information
from
you.
It's
like
one
of
the
things
that
is
required,
so
I'm
happy
I'm
happy
to
extend
it.
C
I
will
say
this
as
a
huge
asterisk
that
the
post
commission
has
issued
some
rights,
that
I
am
actively
writing
a
letter
against
some
of
their
things
and
they
are
asking
that
investigations
be
done
within
90
days
of
receipt
and
we
at
oppat
have
been
you
know
committed
to
following
it
used
to
be
12
months.
I
don't
know
how
they
got
to
90
days
to
get
a
case
to
be
finished,
but
now
they're
asking
for
90
days.
C
I
need
to
get
clarity
on
what
those
90
days
are
other
than
they
want
the
investigations
to
be
done
within
90
days
and
having
something
done
within
90
days.
This
is
like
half
that
time,
so
this
was
written
before
they
came
out
with
their
proposed
regulations
last
month
and
that's
kind
of
our.
This
is
a
tight
window.
C
So
if
we're
saying
we're
giving
you
45
days
just
to
give
us
the
information
that
gives
us
45
days
to
do
an
investigation
and
anyone
who's
ever
done
and
no
judge
understands
anyone
who's
ever
done.
An
investigation
if
you're
trying
to
get
video
from
a
business
30
days
is
usually
can
be
a
regular
time
where
business
is
on
digital
going
over
their
security
film.
So
this
is
asking
a
lot.
C
So
I
think
45
days
is
a
lengthy
time
to
try
to
reach
out
to
someone
so
we're
asking-
and
this
is
45
days
us
just
asking
this-
is
not
even
the
time
it
will
take
to
get
before
the
board.
So
we
can
change
this
to
go
before
the
opec
commission,
instead
of
it
going
before
the
before
the
crb.
So
it's
really.
I
really
want
to
have
this
conversation,
because
I
think
it's
important
to
figure
out
what
do
we
do
when
we
don't
have
a
complete
complaint?
C
How
are
we
going
to
handle
this
because
we
are,
as
we
are
staffing
up
as
we
are
building
up
our
website
as
we
are
doing
the
work
we
are
in
the
middle
of
trying
to
do
or
not
trying,
as
we
are
doing,
a
get
to
know
opec
going
into
the
community.
Let
people
know
that
we
do
exist
and
what
we
exist
for
and
how
we
can
be
helpful
to
them.
We
are
receiving
more
phone
calls.
I
Do
you
think,
just
commissioner
everett,
basically
that
this
is
gonna,
be
based
on
what
you've
received
and
it
doesn't
seem
like
we've
received
a
ton
just
yet.
How
often
do
you
think
it
could
end
up
being
like
an
incomplete
report
like
how
big
of
an
issue
do
we
anticipate?
I
think
it
is
going
to
happen
from
time
to
time.
I
think.
I
C
So
I
I
think
that
we've
had
so
that's
usually
like
an
anonymous
complaint,
but
if
we
we
can
asset,
I
do
know
that
so
there's
a
few
things
some
most
of
the
people
will,
if
they're
coming
in,
they
are
giving
us
multiple
forms
to
answer
on.
They
may
not
have
this
information.
Some
people
may
just
write
out
quickly
what
they
think
they
know
and
they're
writing
from
a
place
of.
C
I
could
I'm
going
to
just
assume
here,
which
I
shouldn't
do.
I
can
assume
that
some
people
are
writing
from
a
place
of
anxiety
or
fear,
or
all
these
other
emotions
and
they're
not
getting
everything
out,
and
so
I
don't
want
to
assume
that
they're
gonna
give
us
a
second
person's
name
or
anything
else,
but
I
can
definitely
look
to
see
if
we
can
ask
for
more
information,
but
we
do
ask
for
email
phone
number
addresses.
We
do
ask
for
a
substantial
amount.
We
also
activate
anyone
else
with
them.
C
C
C
Commissioners,
can
you
see
this?
Okay?
Yes,
okay,
good!
Thank
you.
Thank
you
ben
for
your
flexibility
in
this.
So
this
is
what
the
intake
form
looks
like
right
now,
as
you
can
see,
we
have
it,
so
you
can,
if
you
wanted
to
submit
it
online
or
if
you
want
to
manually
print
it.
If
you
want
to
manually
print
it,
it
will
just
print
for
you.
You
can
also
submit
an
anonymous
complaint
if
you
scroll
down.
C
So
if
you
stop
right
here
for
a
second,
if
you
were
to
you
could
stop
one.
Second,
if
you
just
stop
here,
if
you
were
to
say
that
there
was
more
than
one
police
officer
or
police
vehicle
involved,
if
you,
if
you
submitted
this
online,
if
you
click
two
or
three
or
whatever
it
would
give
you
more
boxes
to
fill
out
automatically
same
thing
with
witnesses,
it
just
gives
you
more
information.
C
E
C
So
I
speak
to
the
post,
yes,
so
there
I
have
had
at
least
three
or
four
meetings
with
the
post
commission
about
and
with
boston
police
department
in
attendance.
A
couple
of
these
meetings
about
a
lot
of
the
state
reforms
as
if,
if
you
haven't
read
the
state
reforms,
most
people
haven't,
but
it's
my
job
and
I
also
like
policy
a
lot.
The
state
reforms
as
customary,
normally
a
lot
of
things
that
happen
in
a
state
when
they're,
you
know,
there's
a
boston
carve-out.
C
C
C
I
know
this
is
not
part
of.
I
guess
it
is
part.
It
is
part
of
this
complaint
process,
so
it
does
fit
into
that.
There
are
proposed
regulations
that
were
issued,
I
believe,
on
january
13th.
They
want
the
they
want
to
identify
who
the
the
victim
is.
I
don't
like
the
word
victim.
We
call
them
complainants,
they
want
the
identity
to
be
named.
We
by
audience
are
charged
with
identifying
all
complaints
to
the
boston
police
department.
We
do
not
identify
who
the
complainant
is.
C
We
are
charged
in
the
ordinance
to
identify
the
demographics,
as
we
did
at
the
start
of
this
meeting,
but
we
we
have
to
send
up
a
copy
of
the
complaint.
As
I
said,
we
just
complain
completed
the
complaint
this
month
of
what
the
complaint
looks
like,
so
they
will
get
a
copy,
but
we
are
also
no
one
is
allowed
to
redact
information.
C
But
the
post
commission
is
asking
for
that
information.
It
is
unclear
if
the
post
commission
is
going
to
post,
not
it's
unclear
if
they
will
post
the
complaints
on
the
website
and
if
I
were
complaining,
I
would
not
want
my
complaint
about
the
boston
police
department
to
land
on
a
publicly
sourced
website.
So
in
that
case
I
will
be
writing
a
letter
to
the
post
commissioner
accident
for
more
clarity
on
that,
because
I
don't
think
that
we
should
have
to
give
out
that
information.
C
B
C
C
I
saw
no
reason
why
oppac
would
need
to
extend
beyond
that
12
months
as
well.
But
since
then,
as
I
said
in
january,
there
was
a
substantial
decrease
in
time,
and
that
does
not
mean
that
we
need
to
pull
it
back
to
90
days.
Does
that
mean
we
need
to
go
away
from
the
12
months?
It's
something
that,
as
this
body
sits,
we
can
determine
if
we
want
to
do
90
days.
If
we
want
to
do
12
months,
it
is
something
this
body
has
to
make
a
determination
on.
I
I
As
we
move
forward
and
kind
of
see,
you
know
the
process
of
investigation
and
having
to
get
maybe
follow-ups
from
people
from
complainants.
You
know
how
long
that
actually
takes.
I
mean
it
is
brand
new
infrastructure
being
built
here.
So
I
guess
that
my
my
opinion
will
surely
could
be
altered
by
the
facts
on
the
ground
as
we
go
forward,
but
I
do
like
the
shorter
period,
knowing
that
sometimes
it
may
be
longer,
but
you
know
just
curious
from
from
both
other
commissioners
to
just
hear.
B
B
I
I
guess
that's
where
I'm
coming
from
you
know:
expeditious
investigation,
expeditions
and
thorough
investigation
to
the
extent
it
can
be
done,
as
such
you
know,
would
be
the
most
ideal,
but
you
know
definitely
understand
that
90
days,
especially
if
you
have
an
issue
with
an
incomplete
complaint
and
you
need
to
get
back
and
go
back
and
forth
and
follow
up
with
someone
it.
You
know,
obviously
that
can
create
some
bottlenecks.
I
So,
like
a
90
days,
absolute
like
you,
only
have
90
days
to
complete
the
investigation.
Obviously
I
don't
think
that's
ideal,
but
you
know
I,
I
guess,
there's
a
distinction
here
in
my
mind,
between
kind
of
you
know
maximum
amount
of
time
or
like
goal
like
what's
our
goal
from
when
we
have
all
of
the
information
needed
for
the
investigation
like.
Ideally,
we
should
just
work
to
get
it
as
as
soon
as
we
can,
but
that.
C
B
C
So
what
I
I,
if
I
may,
I
think,
what
we'll
do
on
our
next
meeting
I
will
share.
I
think
what
we'll
have
at
the
next
commission
meeting
as
we
still
continue
to
go
through
the
proposed
ranks
before
we
pull
them.
All
together
is
the.
As
I
said,
we
we've
been
working
diligently
in
the
office
on
the
manual
and
a
lot
of
these
regs
are
really
being
pulled
from
what
we've
been
trying
to
pull
together
there.
C
There
is
a
flow
chart
that
my
office
created
that
like
what
what
happens
when
a
complaint
comes
into
our
office,
what
happens
with
timelines,
so
we
can
present
that
at
the
next
community
meeting-
and
we
can
talk
about
what
that
looks
like
as
well
as
you
know,
if
90
days
is
realistic,
I
do
think
90
days
is
short
the
90
days,
so
that
we
are
clears
just
for
the
investigation
pieces.
That's
not
the
time
that
it
would
go
to
the
civilian
review
board.
C
I
think
90
days
is,
is
a
very
short
period
of
time.
It's
it's
great.
If
you
can
get
things,
if
you
do
not
have
the
45
days
of
an
incomplete
complaint
and
you
do
get
everything
you
need
from
your
complainant,
you
get
any
photos,
you
get
any
videos,
you
have
everything
you
need
and
every
witness
is
doing.
C
If
everything
goes
in
line,
which
you
know,
I
think,
as
all
three
of
us,
our
attorneys
know
doesn't
happens,
you
know
in
real
world
if
everything
went
in
line
and
in
30
days
you
saw
every
video
you
talk
to
everyone,
you
need
to
talk
to,
and
you
don't
have
to
come
to
the
commission
and
ask
for
a
subpoena
for
anything.
Every
record
is
given
to
you
on
time.
Everything
is
sitting
before
you
and
on
the
45th
day
the
investigators
have
everything.
Well.
C
Excuse
me:
on
the
14th
day,
everything
from
the
intake
workers
is
available
to
give
to
the
investigators
so
that
the
investor
is
going
to
actually
go
out
and
get
all
this
information
and
get
everything,
including
videos
that
haven't
been
taped
over
by
businesses
that
we
all
know
again.
They
tape
over
30
days,
60
days
depending
on
what
the
business
is,
and
then
they
write
up
a
report
and
they
can
get
it
in
front
of
myself.
The
deputy
everyone
else
and
it's
ready
to
go.
C
You
can
get
things
done
in
in
90
days.
Potentially,
that's
that's
what
everything
going
in
line
that's
90
days,
because
it's
gonna
take
you,
you
have
to
get
someone
to
preserve
it,
evidence,
that's
a
whole
different
story
and
we're
a
new
office,
and
I
will
say,
as
a
new
office,
a
lot
of
businesses
do
not
know
who
we
are
asking
them
to
preserve
a
video.
C
It's
not
as
easy
as
some
people
may
think
it
is.
We
were
already
in
that
room
and
you're
asking
them
to
preserve
it
for
reasons
that
they're
unsure
of
because
it
has
nothing
to
do
with
them
right.
This
is
not
for
them.
It's
it's
not
necessarily
criminal
act.
It's
not
something!
That's
making
the
news
for
them.
They
may
not
want
to
preserve.
So
there's
all
these
things.
That
may
happen.
So
I
do
think
90
days
is
a
tall
order
for
some
cases.
C
Some
cases
I
think
they
can
move
a
little
bit
quicker
and
that
you
can
there
are
some
instances
inside
the
ordinance
where
they
specifically
say
you
know,
identify
what
track
something's
going
to
be
on
it's
weird,
because
it
says
track.
It
doesn't
say
it
anywhere
else.
It's
automatically
it
just
talks
about
a
track.
I
think
internally,
we'll
figure
out
for
opec
staff.
C
If
there
is
a
track
for
something-
and
I
think
that's
just
something
we'll
do
case
by
case,
I
don't
think
that
we
can
just
automatically
say
this
is
an
easy
track.
That's
a
hard
track.
I
think
we
all
know
that
something
that
may
seem
like
a
simple
case
turns
into
something
very
complicated,
very
quickly,
which
is
talking
to
one
witness.
I
I
I
think
flexibility
is
going
to
be
key
in
in,
in
my
view,
given
kind
of-
and
I
think
it's
just
going
to
be
important
to
see
what,
like
the
judge
and
I
kind
of
both
reiterated
like
what
comes
through
and
how
those
investigations
are
going
based
on
ipads,
experipat's
experience
and
everyone's
experience
here.
What
what
what
we're
seeing?
I
think
we
have
to
be
responsive
to
that,
but.
E
C
Okay,
so
those
were
some
of
the
proposed
regulations
will
have
a
lot
more
coming
down
the
pike.
Obviously,
this
is
great.
I
appreciate
the
work,
as
I
said,
when
we
met
for
the
public
announcement
of
the
board,
that
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
and
I'm
proud
to
do
this
work
with
you.
Part
of
the
meetings
will
always
include
a
time
that
we
have
a
public
comment
period.
C
We
are
going
to
open
it
up
to
give
individuals
and
of
the
community
two
minutes
to
ask
us
questions
or
make
comments,
not
access
questions.
You
can
make
comments.
There
will
also
be
an
email
address
supplied
to
you
all.
If
you
don't
want
to
make
comments
that
you
can
leave
and
leave
an
email
and
I
or
someone
in
my
office
will
get
back
to
you
with
a
response
if
one
is
needed,
but
I
thank
you
all
for
coming
today
as
well.
C
I
also
want
to
thank
my
fellow
commissioners
for
joining
me
on
our
first
railroad
commission
meeting.
This
has
been
great
and
I
look
forward
to
continuing
our
work
so
with
that
I'm
going
to
stop
talking
and
let
the
comment
period
begin
and
I
believe
andrew
did.
I
not
introduce
you
earlier
today.
Oh
my
god,
I
may
have
forgot
to
introduce
andrew
cherry
who's.
Our
intake
worker
did,
I
forget
to
introduce
andrew.
Did
I
introduce
andrew
terry
no.
J
As
stephanie
our
lovely
director
had
mentioned.
There
are
a
couple
ways
that
you
can
submit
comments
or
questions
you
can
using
the
reaction
button
in
the
bottom
of
the
zoom
screen.
You
can
click
the
hand
emoji
to
raise
your
hand
and
then,
in
the
order
that
they
are
received,
we
can
call
on
you
ask
you
to
unmute
yourselves,
and
then
you
know
you
can
present
your
question
or
comment
and
if
you're
speaking
in
english,
just
please
try
to
speak
slowly,
so
our
interpreters
can't
interpret
accurately.
J
J
And
if
you
submit
your
question
or
comment
in
a
language
other
than
english
through
the
chat.
Similarly,
we
will
just
ask
our
interpreters
to
read
it
out
loud
in
that
language
and
then
in
english
as
well,
and
then
the
final
way
is
you
can,
as
director
everett
mentioned,
submit
your
comments
or
questions
via
email
at
the
opatboardsboston.gov.
J
And
yeah,
so
everybody
if
they
would
like.
You,
have
two
minutes
to
make
a
comment.
I'm
coming
back
now
to
to
help.
If
anybody
has
a
question
it
looks
like
looks
like
thus
far.
We
have
one
hand
raised,
so
I'm
gonna
I'm
gonna,
allow
michael,
is
it
rice
can
apologize
if
I
mispronounced
that,
but
I'm
allow
you
to
talk
now.
K
I
helped
many
years
ago
helped
develop
the
mbta
to
develop
their
complaint
forms
and
I'd
urge
you
to
when
the
complaint
forms
are
properly
completed,
to
give
a
copy
of
the
complaint
to
the
complainant.
I
think
that's
important
and
to
give
each
completed
complaint
intake
form
and
number
so
that
the
complainant
can
track
the
results.
Some
complainants
might
end
in
more
than
one
complaint.
So
I'm
urging
urging
you
to
do
that.
C
K
C
C
C
So
I
do
want
you
to
be
able
to
get
a
phone
call
from
someone
that
just
tells
you
exactly
what's
going
on
with
your
case
so
that
you
know
what's
going
on
so
yes,
so
the
plan
is
that
you
will
get
a
copy.
You
will
have
a
file
number
and
you
will
also
get
a
physical
phone
call
or
an
email,
whatever
you
prefer.
C
K
And
then
one
one
quickie
thing
from
the
health
department
in
their
restaurant
investigations
they
have
critical
health
violations
and
non-critical
health
violations,
and
I'm
wondering
if
you're
thinking
of
having
types
of
complaints,
extra
violent
complaints,
let's
say
or
less
minor
complaints,
and
I
thought
that
was
very
helpful
for
the
health
department.
Just
just
a
thought
thanks,
I'm
checking.
Thank
you.
J
Awesome
well,
thank
you
michael.
It
looks
like
we
have
another
hand
raised.
I'm
also
just
going
to
read
out
the
question
that
I
see
in
the
chat
here.
Just
just
as
a
note
director
everett
may
respond
to
some
of
these,
but
this
is
mostly
supposed
to
allow
us
to
take
your
comments
and
then
you
know
we
can.
We
can
process
those.
J
C
That's
you
do
not
have
to
go
to
bpd
before
it
comes
to.
That
is.
If
you
went
to
bpd
first
and
bpd
investigated
and
they
made
a
finding
and
then
you
appealed
and
then
it
comes
to
open
appeals
come
to
open
and
that's
where
the
affairs
oversight
panel
comes
into
place,
but
you,
the
civilian
review
board,
will
be
will
be
reviewing
initial
complaints,
so
those
are
the
first
time
that
they've
actually
been
looked
at
ever.
C
J
L
Hi,
my
name
is
ann
marie
grant.
My
brother
was
38
years
old
when
he
was
killed
by
reno
police.
He
was
a
resident
of
massachusetts.
He
was
hog-tied
for
over
40
minutes
during
a
mental
health
crisis
and
then
put
prone
while
still
hog,
tied
and
affixiated
to
death
on
all
on
video
in
2015
and
over
the
years,
I've
formed
relationships
with
people
in
and
locally
and
who
have
lost
their
loved
ones
to
police
in
boston
with
there
has
been
no
accountability
for
any
of
those
families.
L
C
Ben
can
probably
tell
you
how
much
I
go
back
and
forth
about
what
that
looks
like
and
what
camera
options
are,
but
I'm
not
the
best
at
what
that
would
look
like,
but
we
will,
as
a
commission
figure
out
how
we
would
do
both,
but
we
even
for
you,
heard
us
speak
about
earlier
doing
a
retreat.
We
are
looking
to
see
if
we
can
do
that,
so
we
may
use
our
board
as
a
test
dummy
for
those
things
we
are.
We
are
technically
talking
about
that.
So
we
will
let
you
know.
C
M
J
H
Hey
folks,
my
name
is
paige.
I
use
the
chi
series
and
I'm
from
jamaica
plain,
I'm
so
sorry
I
I'm.
This
is
the
middle
of
my
work
day,
so
I've
been
kind
of
juggling
meetings,
but
there
was
a
particular
comment
that
I
had
that
you
may
have
addressed
and
if
that's
the
case
feel
free
to
just
say,
I've
done
this
already.
C
H
C
H
C
So
if
you
submit
to
us
anonymously,
we
have
an
ordinance
that
requires
us
to
submit
the
complaint
to
the
to
bpd.
It
does
require
us
to
submit
a
copy
to
the
chief
of
bureau
here
to
the
bureau
of
public,
your
professional
standards,
the
police
commissioner,
and
chief
of
into
the
legal
department.
However,
we
also
have
the
authority
to
redline
where
we
feel
we
need
to
so.
If
we
have
situations,
I
think
it's
situational
how
we
send
information
up.
C
J
J
J
J
C
However,
because
we
do
not
have
the
training
and
haven't
done
all
the
things
that
are
set
out
as
a
law
enforcement
agency,
as
were
a
lot
of
other
agencies
who
had
police
powers
that
lost
those
police
powers.
On
july
1st
2021,
however,
based
on
the
ordinance
we
do
have
authority
for
holding
police
accountable
and
demanding
transparency.
This
is
what
our
office
is
for.
C
So
if
you
were
to
file
a
complaint
as
an
independent
office,
we
can-
and
we
will
investigate
those
complaints
if
it
is
criminal
activity
and
it's
that
that
is
something
that
we
are
having
actual
conversations
about.
If
there's
criminal
activity
going
on
within
bpd,
it
does
not
automatically
just
go
away
that
if
we
don't
have
a
resting
power,
as
you
know,
the
police,
commissioner,
is
the
authority
who
disciplines
police
officers.
C
Opec
has
the
authority
to
investigate
civilian
review
board?
Has
the
authority
to
make
discipline
recommendations,
so
it
would
still
be
up
to
the
bpd
commissioner
to
discipline
their
officer.
It
would
still
be
up
to
the
bureau
of
professional
standards
or
in
their
subsidiary
to
do
any
take
any
action
on
any
criminal
action
activity
that's
going
on
within
bpd,
so
it
is
up
to
us
to
partner,
in
some
sense,
to
work
with
bpd
in
order
to
make
to
deal
with
any
criminal
activity
that's
going
on
within
bpd.
C
I
E
I
I
This
takes
it
out
of
there,
mostly
so
that
that
I
see
a
lot
of
comments
about
like
the
intimidation
piece,
hopefully
that
that
tampers
a
lot
of
that
down-
and
I
think
that's
the
goal
of
being
able
to
take
it
out
of
that
sphere
and
also
having
it
within
opac
and
also
the
transparency
piece
at
a
certain
point.
This
is
gonna,
be
if
it
does
rise
to
a
certain
level
that
is
gonna
be
like
folks
will
know
that.
J
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
that
looks
like
there's
a
couple
questions
in
the
chat
here.
We've
not
yet
gone
to
looks
like
anne
had
asked.
Will
they
monitor
these
types
of
things
because
policies
need
to
be
tracked,
so
we
know
that
they're
being
adhered
to
and
in
tandem
with
that,
will
we
look
at
bpd
as
a
whole,
with
their
lack
of
bwc
usage
and
tracking.
C
C
J
C
So
our
office,
so
opac
staff
does
the
investigation
again.
The
civilian
review
board
will
make
a
recommendation
and
of
discipline
based
on
a
disciplined
matrix
that
is
provided
to
the
oh
to
the
civilian
review
board,
that
is
by
the
police,
commissioner,
that
matrix
is
that
recommendation
is
posted
on
our
website.
C
The
police
police,
commissioner,
can
either
accept
that
recommendation
or
not.
They
can
issue
that
discipline
on
that
officer
or
officers
issue
their
own
or
do
nothing
with
it.
If
they
choose
to
go
against
what
the
civilian
review
board
has
decided
to
do
at
issue
as
a
recommendation,
they
have
to
submit
in
writing
while
they
are
going
against
it.
That
also
would
end
up
on
the
opacs
website.
C
The
final
say
and
any
discipline
of
a
police
officer
is
and
still
remains,
as
was
before
this
office
was
created.
The
boston
police
commissioner,
recommendations
of
discipline
come
from
the
slovenian
review
board,
but
the
slovenia
review
board
itself
is
not
a
disciplinary
action
board.
They
cannot
issue
any
recommend.
They
cannot
discipline
officer.
They
can
recommend
discipline.
B
As
commissioner
alvarez
said,
it's
the
transparency
that
is
part
of
our
power
so
that
people
can
see
what
the
police
do
or
do
not
do
when
it
comes
to
disciplining
rogue
police
officers.
So
the
commissioner
can
be
held
accountable
by
the
mayor
and
by
the
community,
so
I
think
that's
part
of
the
power
that
we
get.
We
make
a
series
of
recommendations
and
he
always
go
well
below
she
goes
above.
We
can
then
see
that
and
hold
the
com.
The
police
commissioner,
accountable.
E
B
J
C
C
I
can
see
that
there's
a
question
about
how
do
you
get
onto
vinnie
review
board?
The
civilian
review
board
was
just
appointed
recently
by
mayor
wu,
and
so
you
get
appointed
by
the
mayor
and
you
also
get
nominated
by
members
of
the
city
council,
so
those
appointments
are
in
place
for
the
next
few
years.
The
commissioner
is
not
an
elected
position.
C
The
commissioner,
for
I
take
it
to
me
for
the
boston
police
department.
The
the
boston
police
department,
commissioner,
is
actually
hired
by
the
mayor,
they're.
Actually
looking
for
a
commissioner
now
so
they're
having
a
series
they
just
had
to
meet
community
meetings.
I'm
looking
for
a
police,
commissioner,
and
I
believe
there
may
be
one
more
that's
going
on,
but
you
can
look
on
boston.gov
to,
I
don't
know,
have
the
exact
one.
C
But
if
you
look
on
boston.gov
and
just
search
it
and
maybe
ben
or
karen
my
assistant,
they
can
look
and
give
you
the
link
really
quick
to
just
put
you
to
where
they
had
some
recordings
of
the
past
community
meetings
that
the
there's
been
a
there's.
A
great
group
of
people
who
put
together
to
try
to
look
for
the
next
city
of
boston,
boston,
police
departments,
police,
commissioner.
So
that
is
actively
going
on
now.
J
And
I'll
just
note,
thank
you
to
paige
for
doing
this.
Paige
sparks
actually
put
in
both
the
link
to
submit
feedback
to
the
search
committee
for
a
new
police
commissioner,
as
well
as
general
information
on
the
civilian
review
board.
So
thank
you
page
for
putting
those
in
the
in
the
chat
for
us
as
well.
J
Yeah
good
comments
as
well,
and
just
so
everybody
knows
we're,
you
know
taking
these
comments
as
well,
so
if
we
just
read
them
out
and
then
move
on,
it's
not
because
we're
not
doing
anything
with
them,
we
are
taking
all
of
these
into
into
our.
You
know,
files
as
well
and
taking
notes
on
all
of
these.
So
thank
you
for
for
putting
these
out
there
and
yes,
unless
there
are
any
other
language
access
for
complaintants
actually
is
a
is
a
good
point.
I
will.
J
Awesome,
okay,
so
with
that
right
now
it
looks
like
we're
gonna
close
out
our
public
comment
period.
You're
still
more
than
welcome
to
you
know,
send
us
any
more
comments
by
the
email
that
was
put
in
the
chat
a
little
bit
ago.
We
will
put
that
in
the
chat
once
more
just
so
that
everybody
has
it
and
please
feel
free
to
reach
back
out
to
us.
If
you
have
any
other
comments
or
anything
we
welcome
all
of
that.
So
you
know.
Thank
you
again.
C
Sorry
I
had
trouble
meeting.
Thank
you
all
again
for
joining
us
today.
It
was
a
great
conversation.
I

We
have
so
much

We

motion
