A
Wouldn't
get
going
so
wanted
to
get
everyone
together
this
afternoon
to
discuss
an
important
internal
department
updates
following
the
in
custody,
death
of
Harold
Easter
sure
all
of
us
are
well
versed
in
some
of
the
circumstances
that
tragic
circumstances
that
developed
several
weeks
ago,
not
lost
on
us
that
it's
a
extremely
busy
news
date
today.
In
fact,
we
just
got
off
the
phone
with
one
of
the
news
directors,
and
you
know
you
killing
us.
We
have
the
president
in
town,
we're
still
recovering
from
this
weather
from
for
overnight.
We
understand
all
that.
A
We
appreciate
all
that.
We
made
a
promise,
though,
at
the
onset
of
this,
that
when
there
were
some
developments
that
we
could
discuss,
we
had
a
responsibility
to
discuss
those
developments,
and
we
do
have
some
developments
that
we
want
to
outline
this
afternoon.
Nothing
to
do
with
the
investigation,
the
criminal
investigation.
We
know
that
that
is
being
managed
and
led
by
the
State
Bureau
of
Investigation.
That's
their
lane.
That's
not
our
lane.
We're
not
going
to
go
anywhere
near
the
evidence
or
the
investigation
itself.
A
B
Just
to
jump
right
into
it,
you
know
as
an
organization,
we
value
the
sanctity
of
human
life,
so
any
loss
of
life
we
know
deserves
a
great
deal
of
scrutiny,
and
this
case
in
particular,
is
no
different.
I've
had
a
conversation
with
the
Easter
family
because,
as
our
protocol,
we
allow
for
them
to
review
any
video
relevant
to
the
incident.
The
incident
that
we
can't
put
on
there
on
mr.
Easter's
mr.
mr.
Easter's
death,
so
that's
being
set
for
sometime,
hopefully
next
week,
but
in
the
interim
I
couldn't
wait.
B
There
were
some
issues
that
we
could
address
immediately
and
so
we're
doing
so.
Truthfully,
though
there
are
lots
of
questions,
the
Easter
family
has
questions,
the
community
has
questions,
and
so
why
in
particular
in
particular,
one
of
which
I
can
answer,
which
is
why
we're
talking
today
around
policy,
but
the
other
is
specific
to
the
initial
contact
that
happened
over
in
Metro
Division.
That
question
is
gonna
remain
unsolved
for
a
while.
Just
to
be
quite
frank
with
you,
people
are
asking
me
what
was
the
context
of
the
stop
and
I
told
you
we
put
out.
B
It
was
around
a
drug
investigation
there
questions
about
what
is
the
medical
emergency
that
I
can't
speak
to
just
yet
that's
relevant
to
that
first
question
that
I
keep
talking
about,
which
is
the
incident
itself
that
happened
at
the
initial
contact
people
are
asking.
Did
we
need
to
call
medic
at
that
scene?
Again,
that's
a
question
that
I
have
that
it's
going
to
come
out
of
the
criminal
investigation
and
here's
the
thing
I
got
to
thread
this
needle
your
hole.
I
cannot
jeopardize
either
the
investigations.
B
Maybe
I'm
gonna
arrest,
someone,
the
other
is
transporting
batterer,
st
and
lastly,
managing
the
observation
of
of
an
arrestee
in
one
of
our
interview
rooms.
What
we're
doing
is
clarifying
our
officers
deserve
clarity
right
now,
because
of
the
way
the
policies
are
structured.
It's
a
bit
too
complex
for
practical
application
by
our
truth.
So
today
what
we're
doing
is
clarifying
we
have
to.
We
owe
it
to
our
officers
and
we
over
over
to
our
community,
to
be
quite
honest
with
you.
B
So
from
now
on
anytime,
we
have
custody,
which
is
somebody
in
our
care
and
control,
not
just
suspects
or
estie's,
but
also
witnesses,
also
victims
of
crime.
We
take
custody.
We
transport
people
for
various
reasons
to
conduct
investigations
about
all
of
them
deserve
the
same
care
while
they're
in
our
custody,
and
our
policy
is
going
to
be
that
specific.
So
from
now
on
from
initial
contact
and
we
get
custody
and
control
of
anyone,
be
it
a
suspect,
victim
or
witness.
B
We
have
to
ensure
that
that
due
care
is
taken,
and
that
means
we're
in
constant
or
at
least
continual
observation
of
those
people.
What
I
mean
by
that
is
pretty
simple
in
person
physically
I'm,
watching
you
or
by
video
surveillance
I'm
watching
you,
especially
when
it
involves
your
presence
in
one
of
our
interview
rooms.
So
again,
that
is
the
big
changes
that
we're
making
today
we've
got
to
educate
our
people
and
train
them.
B
We're
gonna
have
some
online
training
that
accompanies
this
directive,
and
we
have
to
simplify
it
because,
right
now,
what
we
see
are
specific
pieces
of
this
of
this
directive,
that
is
across
multiple
policies
that
make
it
a
bit
too
complex
to
to
readily
apply
again.
Thoughts
and
prayers
go
out
to
the
Easter
family.
My
concern
with
the
officers
they
too
have
due
process
and
we've
got
to
ensure
that,
by
maintaining
the
integrity
of
the
investigation,
that's
being
conducted
by
the
State
Bureau
of
Investigations,
which
will
be
followed
by
our
internal
affairs
investigation.
C
B
Question
so
that's
the
crux
of
the
matter
when
I'm
in
control
of
you
on
the
scene,
you're
in
my
custody,
I'm
gonna
constantly
monitor
you
right.
When
you
get
into
an
interview
room,
we
have
searched
you
we're
sure
you
don't
have
any
contraband
on
you
at
that
point.
Policy
used
to
be
every
15
minutes,
I'm
gonna
tell
you,
I
get
it.
It
makes
sense,
but
it's
not
good
enough.
We
want
continual
observation
either
I'm.
Looking
at
you
physically
I'm,
watching
you
through
video
to
make
sure
if
anything
happens,
I
can
immediately
respond.
B
Good
I
think
they're
one
in
the
same
we're
value
the
sanctity
of
life
that
shows
empathy
and
compassion.
Our
policies
reflect
that.
That's
the
preamble
to
the
policy
itself,
so
what
I
can
tell
you
is
the
difference,
is
the
nuances
being
I'm
engaged
with
you
in
the
detention
physically
out
on
the
street
versus
you
being
in
an
interview
room.
We
want
to
make
it
clear
throughout
its
it.
It's
irrelevant
what
your
location
is
our
policy
moving
forward.
Is
we
maintain
observation
consistently
as
far
as
rendering
aid?
As
soon
as
we
know
you
need
it?
B
We
render
it
that's
what
the
policy
dictates.
We
got
to
make
sure
that
that
always
happens.
That's
the
other
piece
of
it.
That's
why
there's
a
dual
investigation
to
make
sure
that
any
time
we
have
knowledge
that
there's
an
issue
that
we
need
to
get
medical
attention
for.
We
do
so
so
both
of
those
are
ain't
going
to
be
a
part
of
the
investigation
itself.
That's
what's
going
to
be
brought
to
life
and
I
am
encouraged
to
see
when
they
were
acutely
aware
that
there
was
a
medical
condition.
F
B
I'm
not
gonna,
respond
without
information.
All
I
know
is
that
their
vote
and
the
outcome
of
the
vote
generally.
What
happens
is
they
explain
what
they're
thinking
and
then
they
give
recommendations
along
with
their
on
what
they're
thinking
so
to
give
me
full
of
context,
I
don't
have
that
context.
I've
put
a
lot
of
effort
in
building
a
relationship,
so
I
hope
that
the
same
courtesy,
care
and
professionalism
is
going
to
be
mutual,
so
I've,
yet
to
see
them
I'm
not
going
to
come
in
until
I
do.
B
B
Heated
quite
a
few,
you
know
we
just
redid
the
whole
response
to
resistance
policy
and
a
lot
of
the
reason
is
because
of
the
feedback
and
recommendations
we
got
that
were
reasonable.
That
were
logical.
That
made
sense.
That
spoke
to
the
empathy
we
talked
about
before
and
that
I
think
make
us
better.
Those
recommendations
were
always
open
to
and
they
had
a
huge
impact
in
us
redoing
that
response
to
resistance
policy
already
I
think
the
work
speaks
for
itself.
It
does
matter
when
it's
things
that
we
can
accomplish
in
the
reasonable,
logical
and
applicable
when.
D
B
I
can
tell
you
is,
that
is
a
part
of
the
internal
investigation,
that
is
a
policy
consideration
and
without
having
a
board
getting
all
the
facts.
I
can't
speak
to
that
today
now,
but
I
can
tell
you
that's
one
of
the
two
points
that
are
being
investigated,
that
you
will
get
further
information
on
after
those
investigations
are
complete.
B
What
I'll
tell
you
I'm
blessed
to
I've,
been
a
cop
back
when
I
was
on
the
street,
because
I
can
tell
you
I
never
started
a
stopwatch
I.
Wasn't
that
specific?
We
generally
would
check
on
them
and
and
I
can
tell
you
that's
kind
of
our
practice.
I,
don't
know
that
it
is
a
15-minute
cutoff
and
there's
a
buzzer
that
goes
off.
None
of
our
officers
are
equipped
that
way.
It's
just
kind
of
common
sense
that
you
check
on
them
periodically
I'm
telling
you,
for
me,
common
sense
is
great,
but
we're
talking
compassion
and
empathy.
B
C
B
The
policy
is
pretty
clear
if
you
feel
somebody's
ingested,
something
that
could
harm
them.
We
immediately
get
medic
right
and
again
that's
one
of
the
questions
that
the
investigation
has
to
unveil
reveal.
So
that
is
already
clear.
What
was
not
clear
is
how
it
transitions
from
me
encountering
you
on
the
street
to
transporting
you
and
then
to
having
you
an
so
now.
It's
very
consistent.
It's
continual
observation,
while
I'm
in
contact
on
the
street,
while
I'm
transporting
and
while
I
have
you
in
the
interview
room,
that's
the
whole
point.
B
F
B
F
B
And
the
reason
we
say
both
is
in
person,
but
when
I'm,
if
I
just
arrested
you,
you
might
be
upset
about
it,
everybody
didn't
like
to
be
arrested.
Obviously,
so,
if
you're
irate
I
can
take
you
to
the
interview
room,
close
the
door
and
let
it
let
it
deescalate,
but
I
can
still
visually
see
you
through
video
make
sense,
instead
of
being
face
to
face
and
continuing
to
have
that
that
contention
that
tension
between
us,
you.
D
B
What
I'll
tell
you
is
I,
don't
know
specifically,
but
we
used
to
say
every
policy
has
an
incident
attached,
so
what
we
do
is
we
would
clear
up
any
confusion
around
that
specific
incident,
meaning
transport.
What
we
did
this
time
to
step
back
and
said
hey
what
is
our
real
goal?
Real
goal
is
to
achieve
what
we
talked
about
when
we
say:
preservation
of
life
and
maintaining
the
sanctity
of
life.
B
So
the
only
way
to
do
that
is
holistically,
looking
at
what
we
really
want
to
accomplish,
which
is
I'm
constantly
observing
you
in
this
continual
throughout
our
contact
right.
So
I
I
can't
say
specifically
that
that
was
the
cause,
but
most
likely
it
was
how
we
shorted
up
and
every
three
years
we
review
them
anyway.
So
I
couldn't
tell
you
specifically
today,
but
that's
generally
how
it
happened.
This
time,
though,
want
to
make
it
so
it's
consistent
throughout
all
of
our
policies
and
how.
