No,
we
allow
beards
year-round.
Now
we
used
to
do
it
for
fundraising
right.
We
allow
beards.
Within
reason,
I
mean
we
have
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
rules.
Obviously,
but
the
pink
that
you
see
on
captain
cortela
is
for
breast
cancer
awareness.
We
donate
a
little
bit
of
money.
We
you
know
officers
donate
money
to
wear
the
pink
undershirt
got
some
pink
patches,
pink
badges,
a
lot
of
other
good
things.
B

B

So
we
thank
you
paul
for
your
willingness
to
serve
look
forward
to
the
work
that
you
will
continue
to
do
since
you
have
joined
the
committee,
and
I
do
appreciate
sincerely
all
the
willingness
of
everyone
on
the
council.
I
think
we
are
off
to
a
nice
start
now
that
we've
got
our
subcommittees
rolling
and
very
happy
that
we'll
be
able
to
give
some
reports
on
tonight.
B
The
next
piece
of
business
I
did
want
to
share
is
to
help
us
become
a
little
more
familiar
with
each
other.
I
I
emailed
to
you
today
a
little
bit
earlier,
a
document
that
jerry
harris
jerome
harris
councilman
harris
prepared
for
us
to
just
work
as
a
little
information
sheet
for
us
to
share
within
each
other.
I,
if
you
would
like
to
do
that,
you
can
either
put
a
thumbs
up,
do
a
wavy
hand
or
something
so
I
could
see.
Okay
all
right,
a
few
still
thinking
about
it.
B
You
can
send
me
an
email
later
on
once
you
get
a
chance
to
actually
look
at
it,
but
it's
it's
taking
the
place
of
the
fact
that
we
used
to
have
the
opportunity
to
share
with
each
other
before
or
after
the
meetings
and
with
us.
In
this
covet
environment
we
are
not
able
to
socialize
together,
stay
around
and
talk
and
get
a
little
better
acquainted
for
our
teaming
aspect.
So
please
give
that
some
consideration
and
let
me
know,
did
you
get
a
chance
to
review
the
minutes?
B
B
B
It
looks
like
unanimous.
Thank
you
all
those
opposed
there
are
none,
since
that
was
a
unanimous
vote
from
those
that
I
could
see.
Thank
you
very
much.
So
those
minutes
are
approved
and
able
to
be
posted.
The
second
set
of
minutes
that
we
have
are
our
august
6
meeting
minutes
and
there
are
just
some
minor.
B
I
don't
know
how
bethany
does
it
so
efficiently,
just
a
couple
of
minor
corrections
on
page
one
of
the
minutes
under
review
of
guidelines,
the
second
sentence
when
they
looked
at
the
guidelines
they
stayed,
they
stated,
I
think,
is
what
you
intended
and
maybe
six
lines
down
the
sentence
that
says
their
vice
chair
person.
I
think
you
meant
the
vice
chairperson
had
submitted
her
resignation,
so
we
now
had
a
vacancy
and
that.
D
B
B
B
J
J
So
when
I
came
here,
I
learned
that
you
know
the
only
under
the
illumination
project
there
was
a
three-year
strategic
plan
and
kind
of
a
a
mostly
finished
evaluation
report
done
by
some
students
at
the
college
of
charleston
and
so
to
help
chief
out.
I
I
decided
to
take
that
on
and
produce
an
evaluation
of
that
just
to
kind
of
show
where
those
strategies
went
that
the
community
said
they
wanted
under
the
elimination
project.
So
it's
been
quite
a
lot
of
work
to
to
get
that
done.
J
It's
about
a
60
page
report
and
so
we're
kind
of
putting
a
pin
in
it
and
and
finalizing
the
formatting,
and
so
we
can
get
that
out
to
you.
So
you
can
see
what
happened
with
all
that.
It
also
helped
me
learn
a
lot
about
the
community
and
all
of
the
good
work.
That's
already
been
done
here
in
charleston,
so
so
that
takes
me
to
this
and
and
kind
of
now
that
I'm
I'm
almost
done
with
the
illumination
project
update.
We
can.
J
J
This
is
pretty
much
completed
mike
gulluley
started
actually
working
on
this
a
couple
months
ago,
and
this
is
item
10.1.
That
cpd
should
conduct
a
thorough
audit
of
use
of
force
reports
for
coding
issues.
If
you've
read
the
whole
cna
audit
report,
you
can
see
in
there
that
they
found
limitations
in
the
data
and
particularly
in
use
of
forced
data
that
limitation
in
analyzing.
That
data
was
connected
to
the
way
those
reports
were
being
coded.
J
So
captain
cortela,
the
department
did
a
lot
of
work
on
changing
those
processes
and
doing
training
and
michael
luly.
The
compliance
manager
has
also
worked
on
developing
an
audit
procedure
to
inspect
those
he's
now
done.
Two
monthly
audits,
where
five
reports
are
randomly
selected
and
inspector
gulluley
looks
at
them
to
determine
whether
or
not
they're
coded
properly.
J
J
C
J
So
actually,
one
of
the
interesting
things
here
in
charleston,
that
is,
that
is
a
little
bit
different
from
other
cities,
is
that
a
use
of
force
starts
at
the
reporting
threshold
here
starts
at
if
an
officer
removes
his
or
her
weapon
from
their
holster.
So
if
they
merely
unholster
a
firearm
or
a
taser,
that's
a
use
of
force.
J
J
If
an
officer
has
to
physically
manipulate
a
person
in
order
to
get
their
compliance,
and
that
could
be
as
as
a
low
of
a
threshold
as
pushing
them
up
against
a
wall.
All
the
way
strikes
death
force,
there's
a
spectrum
there.
So
what?
If
I,
if
I'm
correct
you
know
this
department,
only
reports
about
300
use
of
force
in
incidents
a
year,
and
that
includes
every
time
an
officer
unholsters
a
weapon.
J
J
J
This
analysis
is
a
little
bit
more
complex
than
just
making
sure
we're
in
compliance
with
all
of
those
coding
issues
and
so
we're
working
to
contract
with
some
researchers
who
have
expertise
in
this
area
to
dive
into
this
data
a
little
bit
and
figure
out.
What's
going
on
there
and
are
there
anything?
J
J
16.1
annual
review
process
for
the
policies
and
procedures
to
ensure
they
align
with
the
department
practices
and
training
and
promising
practices
in
the
field
of
policing,
so
captain
cortela's
unit
is
developing
a
36
month
schedule
for
policy
review.
I
know
that
the
audit
says
that
we
should
do
this
annually.
J
There
are
over
well
over
100
policies
and
other
documents
that
we
want
to
include
in
this
review,
and
so
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
we
touch
every
policy
at
least
once
every
three
years.
There's
other
review
processes
that
will
go
into
place
here
to
ensure
that
in
some
cases
some
of
those
policies
will
be
touched
more
often.
B
Wendy,
given
the
fact
that
the
policies
all
of
the
policies
are
not
going
to
be
reviewed
annually,
as
recommended
in
the
audit,
will
you
list
out?
Will
there
be
a
comprehensive
listing
of
all
of
the
policies
and
then
a
layout
of
the
cycle
that
those
policies
would
be
reviewed
so
that
we
could
see?
You
know
we
can
ensure
hope
to
ensure
that
the
top
policies,
the
ones
of
greatest
concern-
are
definitely
reviewed
within
a
year
as
opposed
to
three
years
and.
J
And
we
will,
we
will
report
out
on
that
when
that
schedule
is
in
place.
In
addition,
we
will
also
you
know:
all
of
the
most
of
the
policies
are
online
and
we've
also
got
the
cpac
policy
review
committee
in
place
right.
Look
at
those
policies.
The
date
those
published
those
policies
were
last
published
is
online
as
well.
J
J
The
another
policy
related
to
use
of
force
was
just
recently
revised
and
published,
so
this
will
also
align
with
the
kalia
standards
processes.
So
there's
we
have
a
accreditation
process
that
also
relates
to
policy
review
and
the
policies
are
developed
according
to
those
standards
set
by
the
khalia,
which
is
the
accrediting
authority.
I
Yeah,
I
was
just
going
to
suggest
that,
when
the
as
you
develop
the
the
schedule
right
that
you
share
with
the
policy
committee
all
right
so
that
we
have
a
baseline
to
work
from
and
also
since
we
will
be,
as
you
suggested,
cherry
picking
those
that
we're
most
interested
in.
At
least
we
can
make
the
public
aware
all
right
of
the
cycle
just
as
for
transparency,
even
if
we're
not
do
if
we're
not
actively
involved
in
anything.
I
think
that's
an
important
piece
of
information
to
have
out
to
be
made
public.
J
D
I
have
a,
I
have
a
question
for
you
please.
So
the
audit
committee
is
stating
that
the
recommended
review
is
annually
for
all
policies
going
across
the
other
other
departments
that
they
review.
How
many
are
in
compliance
with
that?
So
are
we
out
of
line
by
saying
we
need
36
months,
where
the
majority
of
other
departments
don't?
J
J
D
It's
not
it's
not
a
matter
of
being
able
to
say
you
know
if
I
were
to
maintain
a
database
that
showed
you
know
where
last
review
date.
If
you
somebody
went
in,
like
you
said
just
for
normal
procedural,
you
were
reviewing
it.
It
got
an
updated
review
date
as
a
matter
of
just
working
principle.
This
is
a
formal
review
for
each
policy.
J
It's
right
and
we're
adding
this
extra
layer
here
with
the
evidence-based
review,
and
so
I've
asked
that
when
this
formal
review
is
taken
that
it
gets
sent
to
me
and
then
I
can
take
a
look
at
all
of
the
research
that
might
be
relevant
to
that
policy
and
and
provide
some
of
that
to
the
to
the
department.
So
they
can
consider
that
as
they
look
at
the
policy.
So
an
example
of
that
might
be,
you
know,
might
be
you
know
in
the
grooming
policy
or
the
uniform
policy.
J
There's
recent
research
out
there
that
talks
about
whether
or
not
officers
should
wear
certain
pieces
of
attire,
or
you
know,
you've
seen
in
some
departments
where
they
wear
body
armor
in
an
outer
carrier
versus
under
their
t-shirts.
There's
some
research
out
there
about
that
in
with
regard
to
officer,
appearance,
community
receptiveness
and
you
know
back
injuries,
and
so
I
would
then
pull
that
research
provide
it
to
the
department
to
the
policy
committee
and
and
allow
them.
You
know,
make
them
aware
of
what
research
is
out
there.
J
B
F
So,
as
wendy
said,
we
do
have
an
annual
review
of
our
policies.
The
biggest
one
is,
she
said,
is
our
use
of
force
our
vehicles
pursuits,
our
special
units,
all
of
those
are
very
important
and
those
get
annually
reviewed
on
an
annual
basis.
Like
wendy
said,
it's
looking
at
tactics,
protocol
different
case
law
that
may
have
came
out
that
may
have
changed
something
and
those
are
first
and
foremost,
policies
that
come
in
front
that
we
look
at
the
one
she's
talking
on
the
36
month
later
is
our
grooming.
F
You
know
policy
and
we
might
look
at
it
every
year,
but
that's
not
gonna
have
that
deep
dive
in,
but
that
is
something
we
can
change,
but
we
are
in
the
process
of
getting
those
layers
out
of
the
order
that
we're
gonna
review
them
and
when
they
do
get
published,
we
will
let
you
know,
but
we
just
want
everyone
to
know
that
we
look
at
those
policies
every
year,
the
big
ones
just
because
things
do
change
from
time
to
time.
That's.
