A
Okay,
folks
I
think
we're
ready
to
go.
Welcome
to
the
Human
Services
Committee
meeting,
it's
Wednesday
September,
7
2016.
It
is
about
607
and
we
do
have
a
quorum.
First
item
on
the
agenda
is
approval
of
meeting
minutes
of
august.
First.
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
or
change
or
there's
like
okay,
any
additions
or
changes?
Okay,
then,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye,
okay,
any
opposed.
Okay.
We
don't
have
anyone
signed
up
for
citizen
comments.
So
if
there's
anyone
here
who
wants
to
comment,
please
come
forward.
A
B
B
Dispensary
can't
see
that.
Well,
we
had
a
conversation
last
year
about
bike
here,
where
we
had
similar
instances
kind
of
what
happened
in
this
complaint,
where
some
kids
felt
that
their
you
know
we're
being
profiled
in
harassed
as
a
result
of
biking.
We
had
a
conversation
where
it
was
said
that
those
kids
are
riding
their
bikes
in
targeted
enforcement
zones
for
for
stealing
of
bikes.
This
one
really
troubles
me
now
because
it
doesn't
seem
like
you
know.
B
So
to
see
this
again
and
the
individual
is
supposedly
the
officer
said
that
burglars
actually
ride
at
night
without
bikes
or
bike
lights,
and
then
that's
a
reason
to
stop
the
individual
and
search
them.
That's
really
troubling
to
me
again,
because
now
we've
had
two
instances
where
the
individuals
riding
bikes
were
allegedly
is
suspicious
for
some
reason
for
not
having
a
light
on
their
bikes.
So
I
don't
know
if
you
care
to
respond
in
the
route
that
regard.
B
But
I
really
am
right
now,
because
it
doesn't
make
sense
to
me
to
have
an
ordinance
that
the
only
purpose
of
the
ordinance
is
to
stop
individuals
for
riding
without
a
bike,
if
they're
under
suspicion
of
something
else.
So
we
never
actually
use
it
for
the
proper
purpose.
So
I
don't
know
how
you
care
to
respond
to
that.
B
Then
the
question
is
this:
why
are
our
officers
stopping
individuals
or
riding
bikes
without
lights,
on
them
under
suspicion
of
other
crimes,
and
how
does
that
give
you
probable
cause
to
stop
and
potentially
search
someone
for
riding
without
a
light?
Not
you
specifically,
I'm
certain
officers
involved.
C
D
C
Far
as
the
search
other
circumstances
would
dictate
a
search
in
this
investigation.
I
know
the
particulars
of
this
one
was
the
complainant
in
this
case
did
not
immediately
stopped
when
he
officers
requested
him
to
so
that
was
raise
their
suspicions
as
well.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
according
to
the
officers
memorandum,
it
took
him
over
two
blocks
to
stop
and
after
stopping
that
was
some
evasive
behavior
as
well.
Well,.
B
In
like
I
said
a
year
ago,
to
hide
be
really
upset
if
I
was
stopped
for
riding
without
a
light
as
well.
I
mean
I
get
an
individual
not
being
happy
with
under
those
circumstances
being
upset-
and
I
also
understand
you
know
the
idea
is
we
have
limited
police
original
resources
and
I
would
say
to
myself
like
really
you're
stopping
me
for
this.
You
know
an
officer.
B
There
was
two
officers
about
the
second
officer
said
he
actually
said
those
he
said
you
know,
there's
we
believe,
there's
our
burglars
actually
sometimes
ride
without
likes
to
evade
or
lights
to
evade
custody.
So
in
essence,
he
was
looking
at
this
as
more
than
just
a
bike
citation
I
it.
This
is
to
me,
if
the
second
time
in
two
years
we're
using
this
this
ordinance
for
this
purpose.
It's
not
a
public
safety
issue.
Now
ordinance,
it's
actually
becoming
more
a
police
tool
for
potential
other
uses
and
I'll
reserve.
B
A
Does
anyone
I
have
a
comment
about
that
and
we
have
quarterly
board
meetings
and
at
the
board
meetings.
There
are
always
issues
about
bicycles,
whether
their
bicycles
on
the
sidewalks
or
bicycles
on
the
street,
but
not
behaving
in
a
very
safe
manner
and
I've
actually
been
very
thankful
that
the
police
have
stopped
people
who
don't
have
lights
on,
because
the
last
thing
I
want
or
for
anyone
who
lives
in
in
my
water
within
the
city
is
to
hit
someone
on
a
bicycle.
A
So
I
know
that
there
have
been
some
citations
in
my
ward
for
inappropriate
bicycle
behavior
and
if,
if
you
heard
the
people
at
my
ward
meeting,
you'd
know
that
this
is
a
real
priority,
not
only
in
the
downtown
but
also
near
the
l
stops
going
to
and
from
campus.
So
it's
been
stressed
to
the
police
department
on
a
regular
basis
that
this
is
something
that
that
the
public
really
not
only
appreciates
what
expects
the
police
officers
to
do.
I
mean
I'm,
just
speaking
from
my
ward
and
and
what
my
constituents
say
so
and.
B
That
to
me
is
wrong,
so
I
mean,
if
we're
going
to
use
it
as
a
way
for
Public
Safety
to
actually
improve
you
know
life
or
you
don't
prove
safety
in
that
sense,
I'm
all
for
it.
But
these
we
have
now
have
two
times.
There's
been
complaints
that
you
know
based
on
the
call,
selective
enforcement
and
citation
of
writing
without
a
light,
and
that's
my
problem
with
it.
I.
A
That
is
a
conversation
that
perhaps
sometimes
please
have
with
people
who
they
stop
or
people
who
have
been
the
victims
of
some
sort
of
problem,
and
I
think
that's
I
mean
when
I've
heard
that
from
people
it's
more
in
terms
of
the
police
are
educating
educating
the
people
who
are
complaining
again.
This
is
just
in
my
ward.
What
I
hear
from
folks
and
they've
actually
appreciated
that
information
and
interpreted
it
in
a
different
way.
So
all
during
homes,
maybe
we
all
have
different
experiences.
I.
E
Have
to
admit
that
when
I
first
read
it
I
thought
about
last
year
too,
because
it
had
reminded
me
of
the
conversation
that
we
had
had.
However,
I
think
the
circumstances
are
really
different
brandon
and
I
think
that,
probably
since
we're
not
there,
we
don't
know
from.
If
I
remember
correctly,
he
did
not
stop
until
he's,
given
the
second
command,
and
so
you
don't
know
what
what's
going
to
happen
with
that
and
then
they
had
they
smelled
alcohol.
E
B
I,
don't
believe
having
alcohol
and
your
breath
is
a
reason
to
search
under
suspicion
for
burglary,
if
they're
doing
a
public
safety
search,
that's
different,
but
I
mean
where
they
going
to
declare
or
driving
under
the
influence
where
they
gonna
or
something
else
of
all,
because
they
ended
up
only
site,
and
this
is
all
circumstantial
and
we
don't
know,
but
you
know
if
they
ended
up
only
citing
him
for
riding
without
a
light
that
these
other
things
that
were
there
just
didn't
come
up.
You
know.
E
That
that
was
an
explanation
that
sometimes
burglars
ride
without
lights,
I
mean
maybe
he
wanted.
Maybe
the
question
and
less
time
saying
you
know
we're
always
second
guessing
because
we're
not
there.
We
can
only
read
what's
in
the
report,
but
if
you
know,
if
you
say
well,
why
did
you
stop
me?
Well,
I,
don't
have
you
don't
have
a
front
light
and
also
why
do
I
need
a
front
light
or
why
would
you
cared?
I
have
a
front
light,
then
the
conversation
might
a
bit.
E
I
don't
know
because
we're
not
there,
but
I
was
trying
to
look
at
it
as
fairly
as
possible
to
see
you
know.
I
mean
it
could
have
been
that
kind
of
conversation,
and
I
think
that
we
have
to
also
look
at
you
know
from
both
perspectives
from
the
that
he
did
not
follow
up.
You
know
always
bothers
me,
because
if
you
really
have
a
complaint-
and
you
think
you
things
have
not
been
fair,
then
you
know
just
to
follow
up
is
is
so
important.
I
agree.
B
With
that
too,
and
understand
the
disposition
of
the
complaint
that
you
know
it,
because
there
was
no
follow-up,
that
it
was
unfounded
or
whatever
the
ruling
was
a
forget,
what
it
was.
I
get
that
too
it
just.
It
seems
to
me
in
this
case
that
we
again,
we
use
this
ordinance
in
a
way
that
you
know
it's
not
to
be
meant
to
be
used
for
we're
using
it
for
other
purposes,
which
is
troubling
to
me.
Well,.
C
In
this
case
autumn,
going
to
believe
looking
at
the
circumstances,
the
time
of
night,
the
initial
contact
was
at
dempster
in
elmwood.
It
took
him
over
two
blocks
to
stop
when
they
stopped
him.
He
was
evasive.
He
was
confrontational,
so
I
think
I'm
looking
at
all
of
those
things
and
the
totality
it
gave
them
regional
suspicion
to
think
that
any
ordinary
person
you
know
being
axed
to
stop
out
of
police.
It
wouldn't
take
them
over
two
blocks
to
stop
especially
ban
area.
We
have
I
amount
of
vehicle
burglaries
as
well
as
residential
burglaries
as
well.
C
B
Disagree
well,
in
a
sense
of
you,
know,
a
suspicion
of
burglary
and
the
officer.
The
second
officer
in
the
case
wrote
that
you
know
he.
Sometimes
he
said
bleep
probable
cause
that
people
riding
without
lights
are
burglars.
Innovate,
you
know
being
stopped.
I
understand
the
escalation.
You
know.
If
you
look
at
the
Terry,
stop
you're
saying
reasonable
suspicion,
you
stop!
You
know
this
individual
is
riding
with
a
light.
Okay,
that's
great
the
escalation
of
it.
You
know
I,
smelled
alcohol,
etc,
etc.
B
I,
don't
believe
that
gives
you
probable
cause
to
search
individual
in
this
case,
given
the
totality
of
the
circumstances
just
being
in
the
area
riding
without
a
light
and
spelling
with
alcohol,
that's
potentially
for
driving
under
the
influence
or
writing
on
the
influence
that
they
didn't.
Do
that
and.
A
B
D
B
I'd
like
to
have
this
discussion
a
sense
of
what
we
want
to
use
these
ordinances
for
it's
the
same
thing,
we're
having
a
question
about
marijuana
arrest
as
well.
Are
we
using
those
stops?
You
know
in
terms
of
to
actually
further
escalate.
You
know
that
the
charges
involved
and
it
I
just
want
to
have
this
discussion
now.
B
I
understand
the
safety
issues
involved
with
this,
but
if
we're
using
these
ordinances
in
your
proper
way,
or
maybe
we
can
lessen
the
penalty,
let's
discuss
how
we
really
want
to
use
this
ordinance,
because
this
is
the
second
time
we've
had
a
complaint
for
the
use
of
this
ordinance.
So
I'd
like
to
have
the
council
consider
that
question.
A
B
A
Mm-Hmm
we're
moving
on
to
items
for
discussion.
Hh2
is
the
proposed
apiary
locations.
Human
Services
Committee,
requested
information
regarding
potential
apiary
locations
in
an
effort
to
support
residents
who
desire
to
maintain
a
beehive
on
their
private
property,
but
are
prohibited
due
to
lack
of
a
budding
neighbor
consent.
The
expectation
is
to
support
safe
beekeeping
practices
in
evanston.
F
I'd
like
to
get
a
better
sense
of
how
extensive
the
list
of
the
search
for
places
was
at
both
places
that
were
at
least
recommended
in
this
proposal
or
along
the
canal
in
these
7th
ward.
I
believe
is
that
correct,
correct
and
that's
right,
but
I
mean
have.
We
talked
about
other
places
or
look
to
citywide
for
various
places.
G
Good
evening,
madam
chair
into
the
sauna
mobotix
City
cough
city,
council
committee,
Lawrence,
Hemingway,
director
of
Parks
and
Recreation,
the
committee
was
presented
a
proposal
a
couple
months
ago
by
colleagues
which
had
a
very
list
of
five
proper
of
five
locations
that
was
recommended
to
the
committee.
Based
on
that
discussion,
it
was
sent
back
to
staff
I
joined
my
colleagues
in
the
discussion
and
we
sat
down
and
we
looked.
We
we
looked
very
extensively
throughout
the
city.
I
do
have
a
area
of
the
two
locations
that
I
want.
A
G
During
our
discussion
and
just
let
me
refresh
everyone's
memory,
the
original
five
locations
were
Harvard
park
below
Park,
Lovelace,
James
and
Ladd
Arboretum.
So,
based
upon
those
those
are
read
the
original
presentation
we
went
back
and
we
we
started
searching.
We
looked
at
throughout
our
park
system.
We
looked
at
all
of
the
community
gardens.
We
also
considered
you
know
what
the
requirements
are.
We
come
up
with
to
govern
City.
You
know
a
city-owned
space
for
an
A
Prairie.
So
looking
at
that
and
looking
at
those
requirements,
you
know
we
became
very
obvious.
G
You
know
we
couldn't
install
an
app
ereri
in
a
location
that
was
not.
That
was
away
a
hundred
and
fifty
feet
away
from
a
playscape
away
from
a
sidewalk
away
from
a
pathway
to
you
know,
make
sure
that
the
public
remains
safe.
So,
as
we
did
our
evaluations,
we
came
up
with
the
current
two
locations.
The
first
here
is
ecclestone
Park,
which
is
you
all
are
aware,
is
right
along
of
the
canal
area,
but
I'm
sorry
got
it
well,
yeah
it's
right
across
from
mccormick
right
across
from
the
very
close
to
the
canal.
G
What
you
see
here
in
this
area
here
this
is
a
community
garden,
so
you
know
we
knew
that
was
a
consideration
and
trying
to
identify
a
location,
but
just
across
McCormick
is
the
canal,
so
you
have
a
close
water
source.
The
yellowed
space
here
is
the
area
in
which
we're
recommending
to
build
or
for
a
praise
to
be
installed.
G
We
will
enclose
you
know,
staff
will
install
a
fence,
but
it
is
up
to
the
owners
who
are
interested
in
maintaining
or
keeping
beads
to
install
their
actual
individual
hives.
What
you
have
here,
though,
we've
went
out
and
measured
we're
more
than
150
feet
away
from
away
from
this
pathway.
Here
the
gardens
are
here
and
then
the
beads
water
sources
directly
across
the
street,
to
the
thumb
here
to
the
east.
G
G
So
here,
I
think
one
of
your
options
originally
considered
was
also
lad,
Arboretum,
but
now
what
we've
done
is
since
that
original
discussion.
This
is
the
location
of
the
old
windmill
that
windmill
has
now
been
demolished,
and
so
it
creates
created
an
ideal
location
far
enough
away
from
our
public
pathways,
which
is
along
here.
This
is
not
really
a
public
pathway
here.
G
This
is
what
staff
kind
of
uses
to
walk
back
and
forth,
but
obviously
she
you
here
in
a
wooded
area
away
from
very
you
know
more
than
hundred
fifty
feet
away
from
the
ecology
center.
You
right
here
at
a
water
source,
and
so
we
also
consider
this
location
as
an
ideal
location
for
the
public
to
use
if
we
were
going
to
have
a
a
napper
area
installed
and
so
based
on
those
discussions
based
on
our
requirements
as
staff,
these
were
the
two
locations
that
we
recommend
it.
G
So
we
also
you
know:
I
asked
a
question
being
new
to
the
discussion.
How
many
applications
have
we
received
at
this
point?
And
at
this
point
we
haven't
had
anybody
asking
us
for
two
for
an
application,
so
I
believe
if
these
two
locations
are
available,
we
will
be
able
to
have
a
good,
safe
location
that
could
meet
the
public's
demand.
If
so,
if
they
desire
to
install
a
beehive
I'm
available
for
any
further
questions.
Thank
you.
D
Even
it
occurs
to
me
that
the
location
there
at
egleston
Park
might
be
of
great
interest
to
the
edible
evanston
organization.
I
mean
group,
because
they've
got
an
orchard
there
now,
as
well
as
lots
of
plants
that
they're
growing
and-
and
it
may
very
well
be
that
they
would
really
be
interested
in
in
taking
up
beekeeping
as
well.

Good
evening,
ovando,
Thomas,
Smith,
director,
Health
and
Human
Services
and
just
to
add
to
credit
laurencin
I'm
his
staff,
they
were
very
interested
in
these
locations,
also,
is
that
they
were
nearby
possible
programming
that
could
operate
out
of
the
ecology
center.
So
there
can
be
some
educational
opportunities
I'm
available.
F
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Mr.
Hemingway
I
do
think
it's
a
very
important
offering
that
we
have,
like
you
said
in
case
someone
doesn't
hit
me
through
quirements
or
never
subject.
It
seems
to
me
almost
more
ideal
to
have
it
in
a
common
place
where,
if
one
were
to
have
this
in
his
backyard,
then
that
does
eliminate
some
activity
and
part
of
the
backyard,
at
least
so
I
think
it
makes
a
lot
of
sense,
I'm
glad
we're
offering
this
and
hope
we
can
actually
encourage
people
to
do
this
would
be
a
community
benefit
as
well.
E
We
need
to
accept
a
report,
it's
just
for
a
discussion.
Mm-Hmm.
E
A
Okay,
we're
going
to
move
on
to
HH
3
its
Police
Department
update
on
diversity,
training.
It's
an
update
from
dr.
Logan
on
his
work
with
the
police
department.
I
need
to
say
that
there
was
a
request
from
alderman
braithwaite
to
hold
this
item
dr.
Logan's
here,
and
is
there
any
interest
on
the
part
of
the
committee
to
pull
this
okay?
Please
thank.
J
You,
madam
chairman,
I,
appreciate
the
courtesy
of
us
going
forward
this
tonight.
Dr.
Logan's
time
is
extremely
valuable
and
in
his
difficulty
and
I
am
certain.
He
and
I
will
make
arrangements
to
meet
with
all
the
men
braithwaite
at
his
request
that
thank
you
good
evening,
madam
chairman
alderman
tonight
am
here
with
dr.
Logan
who
a
report
on
the
training
recently
provided
to
the
efforts
of
the
police
department,
the
department's
latest
effort
to
keep
personnel
current
and
their
ability,
inter
interact
effectively
with
all
members
of
the
community
prior
to
dr.
Logan's
remarks.
J
That
will
comment
on
the
context
in
which
this
training
was
provided
for
many
years.
The
evidence
of
police
department
at
a
significant
investment
of
all
time
and
resources
has
been
committed
to
diversity,
training
in
various
forums
under
various
titles.
For
example,
we
have
availed
ourselves
to
the
Chicago
Police
Department's
procedural
justice
training,
which
their
trainers
were
trained
by
the
Department
of
Justice.
Also,
we
have
had
multiple
trainings
by
a
dr.
erin
thompson,
who
was
closely
associated
with
the
illinois
police
training
and
standards
board.
J
Additionally,
the
department
of
justice
came
out
earlier
this
spring
and
trained
all
the
supervisors
in
the
police
department
and
a
one-day
training
regarding
of
procedure
of
justice.
I
view
diversity,
training
as
an
ongoing
commitment,
not
unlike
taking
daily
vitamins
rather
than
a
once-in-a-while
vaccine
training
needs
and
the
training
needs
to
be
repeated,
free
CLE,
because
the
events
in
the
policing
world
and
was
society
at
large
change,
trajectory
of
police,
Community,
Relations
very
quickly
trip
case
in
point:
our
post,
Ferguson,
post,
laQuan,
McDonald
world
expectations,
law
enforcement
are
radically
different
than
they
were
pre
Ferguson.
J
Similarly,
post
Dallas
and
post
Baton
Rouge
world
of
law
enforcement
yet
again
faces
situations
that
are
radically
different
in
reviewing
the
report,
dr.
Logan
will
present
an
item
neither
surprised
nor
taken
aback
by
the
information
it
contains.
The
information
reflects
the
national
mood
of
community
members
and
police
light
law
enforcement
is
a
difficult
profession
subject
to
many
perspectives
and
attitudes.
You
will
find
those
reflected
in
the
comments
made
here
tonight
through
a
dialogue.
J
Progress
is
made
as
a
client,
a
person
who
has
been
responsible
for
ordering
training
for
police
officers
for
an
extended
period
of
time
and
pleased
to
know
that
dr.
Logan
created
a
situation
where
there
no
complaints
or
concerns
were
expressed
about
the
training
provided.
Indeed,
my
perception
is
the
members
of
the
department
embraced
the
opportunity
to
discuss
this
difficult
topic
with
dr.
Logan
in
their
peers.
The
fact
that
dr.
Logan
was
able
to
provide
this
level
report
was
able
to
establish
this
level
poor
with
men
and
women
of
the
evidence.
J
The
police
department
is
a
testimony
not
only
his
ability
to
work
with
officers
and
small
groups
and
create
an
environment
of
trust
and
understanding,
so
that
difficult
questions
can
be
addressed,
but
also
a
testimony
of
the
officers
willingness
to
be
open
to
new
ideas
and
concepts.
The
hallmark
of
the
men
and
women
who
gave
us
a
police
department
officers
discussing
their
concerns
and
issues
with
their
peers
in
a
safe
environment
can
only
make
the
department
better
prior
to
working
through
dr.
logos
report.
J
To
see
me,
I
want
to
make
clear
the
roles
that
he
and
I
play
in
this
issue.
Dr.
Logan
is
a
highly
professional
consultant
who
provides
advice
to
the
Chief
of
Police
I
measure
hit
advise
against
the
responsibilities
in
concerns
that
they
have
regarding
Budget,
Control
and
other
related
issues.
As
dr.
Logan
is
responsible,
providing
suggestions.
I
am
responsible
for
evaluating
whether
the
implementation
of
those
suggestions
are
appropriate
for
the
police
department.
At
this
point
in
time,
I
want
to
thank
dr.
J
K
I'm
good
evening,
everyone
Madame
chair
and
committee-
thank
you
all
for
having
me
here.
It's
an
honor
understand
here
before
you
one
year
after
making
the
initial
presentation,
so
my
name
is
dr..
Logan,
jee,
loke
way,
see
Logan
I'm,
a
diversity
consultant
and
writer
and
speaker,
and
essentially
my
mission
is
to
help
leaders
and
organizations,
teams
and
individuals
to
help
them
meet
the
challenges
of
working
and
living
in
the
global
society.
K
My
expertise
stems
from
more
than
25
years
in
K
through
16
multicultural
education,
and
that
includes
teaching
critical
thinking,
interpersonal
communications
and
human
relations
and
teaching
in
the
diverse
in
the
Justice
Studies
department,
at
Northeastern,
Illinois
University,
where
I
teach
in
train
current
and
prospective
law
enforcement
officers
and
agents.
Excuse
me
also.
My
expertise
stems
from
my
research
in
what's
called
ratio
and
ethnic
identity,
development
and
multicultural
education
and
culturally
relevant
pedagogy
additionally,
I've
had
been
very
honored
to
have
more
than
seven
years
experience
living
in
22,
different
countries
and
as
well.
K
What
I
brought
to
this
consultancy
is
the
fact
that
I'm
also
a
fifth-generation
evan
stone
ian,
I'm
a
resident
of
the
fifth
ward,
and
I'm
also
the
son
of
the
former
police
chief
here
in
Evanston
bill
Logan,
so
that
also
helped
to
inform
my
practice.
So
with
that
I'd
like
to
provide
you
all
a
brief
overview
of
the
program,
my
mind,
you
I'm
not
going
to
cover
everything
but
I'll
cover
the
main
points
so
to
review.
K
The
purpose
of
this
program
was
to
really
design
and
develop
and
implement
the
diversity
and
inclusion
training
program,
that's
relevant
to
the
needs
and
the
conditions
in
the
situation
here
in
Evanston.
The
aim
was
to
develop
awareness
and
knowledge
of
the
consequences
of
the
systems
of
differentiation,
so
in
other
words,
our
communities
in
Evanston
live
on
different
conditions,
different
contexts,
and
how
can
we
develop
an
awareness
and
a
knowledge
based
on
that?
Thank
you.
K
So
the
for
the
program.
Essentially,
what
I
did
is
I've
had
11
meetings
with
Mayor
Tisdale,
the
City
Council
and
different
alderman,
and
all
the
women
here
in
Edmonton.
Additionally,
over
42
hours
of
meetings
with
chief
Eddington
commander
Davis,
the
command
staff
in
different
union
representatives,
there
was
in
February
of
2016.
There
was
a
town
hall
meeting
that
I
helped
to
plan
and
facilitate
at
the
Leavey
Center.
Here
in
avastin,
we
had
approximately
60
to
70
community
members
in
attendance
and
as
well.
K
Essentially,
we
had
21
to
our
focus
groups
and
that
was
to
help
assess
the
concerns
and
the
needs
and
the
issues
in
the
officers
own
voice.
We
had
between
five
and
seven
officers
per
group.
In
total,
there
were
97
participants
who
participated
in
the
focus
groups.
There
were
diverse
members
who
are
represented
that
reflected
diversity
in
terms
of
unit
age,
rank
experience,
race
and
ethnicity,
gender,
sexual
orientation
and
religion.
K
Then
as
well.
In
addition
to
the
focus
groups
and
the
town
hall
meeting,
there
was
workshops
for
the
sworn
officers,
so
I
planned
and
facilitated
16
for
our
workshop
trainings.
For
the
officers
part
1
65
officers
participated
in
the
first
portion,
and
sixty
two
officers
participate
in
the
four-hour
training
in
the
second
session.
Some
of
the
topics
that
we
dealt
with
in
our
discussion
and
in
our
workshops
for
one
was
the
concept
and
the
notion
of
identity,
so
basically
how
we
formulate
our
own
identities.
K
The
fact
that
we
all
have
one
and,
depending
on
our
position,
allottee,
meaning
our
race
class,
sexual
orientation,
religion,
etc.
How
that
influences
our
perspective
in
our
perceptions
of
others
in
the
work
that
we
do
so
we
explored
the
concept
of
identity
within
the
police
department
and
also
the
identity
of
the
ethnic
community
and
how
those
interface
with
one
another.
In
addition
to
that,
the
notion
of
categorization
and
the
fact
that
it's
human
nature
for
our
brains
to
categorize
the
information
in
order
to
process
it.
K
So
we
took
a
look
at
that
to
see
how
that
may
play
itself
out
in
terms
of
a
how
the
police
department
categorizes
information
about
the
community
that
it
serves
as
well
as
how
does
the
community
categorize
information
about
with
their
experiences
with
the
evanston
police
department
and
again,
I
just
wanted
to
underscore
the
fact
that
the
notion
of
identity
and
the
categorization
are
it's
human
nature,
as
well
as
the
third
topic
that
was
implicit
bias
and
that's
something.
That's
again.
K
We
also
looked
at
what's
what's
caught
the
matrix
of
oppression,
so
basically
how
we
all
carry
multiple
identities
and
how
do
they
interact
with
one
another
in
terms
of
potentially
contributing
to
stereotypes,
prejudice,
discrimination
which
lead
to
possible
oppression?
And
again
we
looked
at
that
within
the
department.
We
looked
at
that
within
our
society,
and
we
also
explored
that
within
our
community
here
at
evanston.
We
also
explore
the
concept
of
stereotype
threat
and
that
is
that
all
people
are
subject
to
negative
stereotypes
about
themselves
depending
on
their
identity.
K
Stereotype
threat
is
based
on
the
work
of
dr.
Claude
Steele
and
it
speaks
to
a
situation
or
predicament
in
which
people
are
or
feel
at
a
risk
of
confirming
a
negative
stereotype
about
their
social
group
so
again,
depending
on
the
position
allottee
of
the
officers
or
the
business
positionality
of
community
members.
How
does
that
notion
of
stereotype
threat
in
inform
and
impact
the
interactions?
K
And,
lastly,
we
took
a
socio-historical
socio-cultural
socio-economic
look
at
evanston
and
that's
where
I
also
for
provided
perspective
for
my
own
experience
here
and
with
that,
we
took
a
statistical
and
in
total
illustration
of
the
diversity
here
in
Evanston
in
our
communities,
as
well
as
through
district
65
and
district
202.
So
we
looked
at
the
impact
of
that
on
our
youth.
K
So
as
far
as
the
findings
from
the
town
hall
meeting
and
the
input
from
the
community
and
the
City
Council
and
different
conversations
that
I've
had
what
the
community
identified
as
strengths
of
the
evanston
police
department
were
one.
The
responsiveness
of
the
department,
the
care
and
support
that
the
department
lens
and
offers
the
community
the
professionalism
and
the
friendliness-
those
are
the
most
prevalent
themes
throughout
what
the
community
identified
as
issues
or
areas
of
concern
with
the
evanston
police
department
and
again
this
is
based
on
a
limited
sample.
K
But
this
was
the
information
that
we
had
one.
The
community
I
felt
that
there
is
an
overwhelming
quote-unquote
mental
ill
population
permeating
the
community
to
that
Everson
police
department
officers
participate
in
policing
that
is
racially
biased
and
discriminatory
and
patronizing
towards
Africa
come
here.
The
African
American
community
and
the
community
felt
that
the
department
is
lacking.
Training
in
that
area,
as
well
as
working
with
the
population
has
mental
health
challenges.
K
The
third
one,
the
African
American
community,
is
policed
differently
and
more
negatively
and
more
aggressively
than
other
communities
here
in
Evanston
and
the
community
felt
that
training
was
needed
in
that
area
as
well.
The
community
expressed
that
there
was
a
lack
of
cultural
competency,
customer
service
and
interpersonal
communication
skills
amongst
the
department
and
again
it's
not
to
implicate
every
officer
or
the
department
as
a
whole,
but
but
this
is
what
some
of
the
community
members
voiced
as
well,
that
the
Everson
Police
Department
officers
are
not
being
required
to
live
in
Evanston.
K
There
was
a
lots
of
passion
expressed
around
that
issue,
the
unresolved
crimes
and
murders
here
at
Evanston
and,
lastly,
the
lack
of
town
hall
meetings
for
community
members
and
officers
to
engage
in
community
y
discussions
on
community
concerns
and
issues.
So
some
of
the
findings
from
this
process.
This
year-long
process,
one
that
there
exists,
a
general
misunderstanding,
disconnection,
mistrust
and
lack
of
discourse
between
the
department
and
members.
K
Member
groups
within
the
community
number
two
diverse
groups
in
the
Everson
community
hold
deeply
held
views
that
racism,
or
at
least
racial
bias,
is
the
root
cause
of
mistrust
between
your
department
and
communities
of
color
number
three
people
of
color,
particularly
african-americans,
reported
seeing
or
having
disproportionately
more
negative
experiences
with
the
police.
Number
four
officers
feel
strongly
that
a
stronger
relationship
with
the
community
needs
to
be
forged
and
it's
essential
for
the
its
effectiveness
and
the
community
safety.
K
Officers
also
believe
that
a
community
that
knows
the
law
and
how
it
works
in
a
department
that
knows
the
community
and
how
it
works
are
key
ingredients
for
effective
community
policing
as
well.
Officers
and
staff
feel
that
a
lack
of
competencies
for
effectively
engaging
with
people
of
mental
illness,
mental
illness
and
the
African
American
community
and
other
minority
groups.
They
felt
that
additional
training
was
needed
in
that
area.
And,
lastly,
most
officers
expressed
great
concern
for
the
negative
effects
of
stereotype
threat
on
officers
and
on
the
community
in
which
they
serve.
K
Now
understand
that
there's
been
a
number
of
town
hall
meetings
here
at
evanston.
But
there
are
different
types
of
town
hall
meetings
and
from
what
I
gathered,
the
community
is
asking
to
have
a
town
hall
meeting
where
the
officers
or
representatives
from
the
department
are
before
them
and
they
can
actually
engage
in
discussion
and
dialogue
around
the
issues
and
solicitor
responses
from
the
police
department.
K
Additionally,
training
for
the
community
to
better
understand
the
laws,
their
rights
and
responsibilities
as
citizens,
particularly
as
it
pertains
to
fighting
crime
and
community
policing
efforts,
as
well
as
the
impact
of
social
media
on
crime,
crime
prevention
and
community
policing,
training
for
the
community
that
area
and
lastly,
to
develop
accountability
for
citizens
who
follow
unfounded
or
false
complaints.
So
that's
a
brief
summary
of
the
work
that
was
conducted
over
the
last
year.
K
A
I
Chair
members
of
the
committee
good
evening,
let
me
echo
de
Bennington's
comments
committing
dr.
Logan
in
his
fine
report.
I
think
in
many
cases
find
reports
are
only
made
finer
when
you
actually
follow
what
they
suggest
and
so
now
I
think.
Our
challenge
is
to
come
back
to
you
with
a
plan
on
how
we
continue.
As
chief
eddington
said,
this
is
an
ongoing
process
and
I.
Think
the
the
comments
that
you've
heard
tonight
from
for
dr.
I
Logan
are
very
thoughtful
ones
and
I
think
we
need
from
a
city
management,
police
management
standpoint
now
I
need
to
go
back
and
look
through
those
and
come
up
with
a
plan.
So,
madam
chair,
perhaps
it's
appropriate
your
next
meeting,
or
perhaps
in
two
months,
not
to
come
back
to
you
with
that?
Certainly
we're
in
the
process
of
the
budget
deliberations.
Some
of
the
things
that
have
been
suggested
are
no
cost
or
low
cost,
and
so
we're
going
to
focus
primarily
on
those
but
I.
Think
as
we
look,
what
additional
professional
training
is
appropriate.
A
Well,
I
think
that
I
I
do
want
to
be
moving
forward
with
this
I.
Don't
want
anyone
to
think
that
we're
thanking
dr.
Logan
for
his
report
and
then
and
going
on
about
our
business.
We
want
to
really
keep
this
in
front
of
the
committee,
so
I
think
an
update
from
staff
about
what
we're
doing
where
we're
going
next
step
should
be
part
of
every
upcoming
Human
Services
Committee
meeting.
This
is
my
last
meeting
his
chair
I'm,
not
its
alderman
tandem
next
chair.
So
that
would
be.
I
Perhaps
alderman
fist,
members
of
the
community,
what
we
could
do
is
come
back
with
a
plan
for
the
following
fiscal
next
fiscal
year.
Twenty
seventeen
so
and
then
maybe
have
as
part
of
your
standing
reports
an
update
over
the
course
of
2017
of
the
progress
that's
being
made
on
that
implementation.
So
event
and
I
haven't
had
an
opportunity
really
to
talk
about
logistics,
but
certainly
I
would
think
in
the
in
the
next
month,
or
so.
F
But
having
that
meeting
that
was
specifically
intended
for
the
officer
to
meet
the
public
and
there
was
no
other
agenda.
There
was
nothing
about
beehives
or
or
any
other.
You
know,
ward
issues
lovelace
park
or
whatever
it
was
playing.
You
know
soccer
fields,
I
mean
it
was
specifically
that
and
I
got.
It
got
a
turn
out
that
was
specifically
interested
in
talking
and
getting
to
know
that
the
officer-
and
it
wasn't
always
a
problem-
it
was
or
issues
based
it
was.
F
It
was
a
lively
conversation
on
life
in
evanston
and
in
what
we
expect
from
our
officers
and
how
we
like
working
with
them
and
what
we
expect
so
I
think
you
know
I.
Think
officer
also
learned
a
lot
from
the
community
in
that
situation
as
well.
So
you
know
in
in
in
endo
with
we
can
always
put
together.
F
A
pretty
large
community,
meaning,
and
but
the
locals
ward
or
beat
meeting
was
very
effective,
is
from
my
point
of
view
in
something
completely
different
or
more
or
less
completely
different
from
or
what
we
do
at
our
board
meeting.
So
I've
encouraged
that
as
well
as
any
other
kind
of
community
meetings
of
be
very
helpful.
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
your
poor
tonight.
E
Other
homes
well,
first
off
I,
just
what
is
how
we
got
here
and
thinking
about
the
training
with
dr.
Thompson
couple
years
back
in
terms
of
knowing
that
we
needed
to
keep
moving
forward
and
I
hope.
We
will
continue
to
do
that
so
city
manager,
as
we
plan
training
and
really
listening
to
some
of
the
details
from
the
community,
as
well
as
from
the
police
department
that
that
that
we
look
at
that
in
terms
of
budget
and
and
put
that
as
a
top
priority.
That's
one
thing!
Secondly,
I.
E
Thought
up
on
what
alderman
tendon
said
we
regularly
in
the
fifth
Ward
schedule
+
year
to
have
the
police
department
there
for
an
update
from
the
chief
or
one
of
the
deputy
chiefs
and
to
talk
about
cold
cases
are
kind
of
statistics
whatever
and
we're
doing
this
on
the
fifteenth
again.
This
year
we
usually
use
September,
and
then
we
try
to
do
it
again
in
early
spring.
Just
to
keep
that
going.
I
wanted
to
ask
dr.
Logan,
though
I
was
trying
to
think
of
a
question
when
judy.
E
Has
anybody
have
a
question
I
wonder
what
is
your
impression
of
the
police
officers
and
in
terms
of
the
training
and
the
requests
from
the
community,
about
town
hall
meetings
and
and
in
terms
of
what
kind
of
what
kind
of
description
did
they
give
of
a
town
hall
meeting
and
I
say
that
only
because
we
have
all
different
kinds
of
tests
using
different
kinds
of
time,
town
hall
meetings-
and
we
have
everybody,
has
a
story.
We
know
those
kind
and
everybody
wants
to
tell
that
story.
K
In
purpose
to
answering
your
question,
if
I
could
say
that
both
numerous
members
in
the
community,
as
well
as
police
officers,
expressed
a
concern
that
okay
we've
had
this
training,
we
have
this
report.
What's
going
to
come
of
it
and
there
were
some
skepticism
around
them,
so
I
think
for
action
to
be
had
upon
based
upon
these
recommendations
would
serve.
K
The
community
will
serve
the
department
well,
regardless
of
who's,
facilitating
that
process
for
one
for
two
specifically,
what
people
were
expressing
to
me
was
in
and
I'm
kind
of
paraphrasing
here,
but
an
issues,
oriented
dialogue
and
discussion
with
the
Department.
Many
people
felt
that
at
the
town
hall
meeting
they
were
able
to
come
dialogue
amongst
themselves
within
their
individual
wards.
K
They
were
able
to
express
their
concerns,
but
they
felt
what
was
lacking
was
the
lack
of
dialogue
in
discourse
and
feedback
from
the
department
and
that's
what
they
were
really
seeking
to
get
responses
from
the
from
the
department
to
get
answers
to
specific
questions.
So
I
was
saying
an
issues
basting
and
I'm
kind
of
paraphrasing,
but
an
issues
based
dialogue
and
discourse,
around
topics
of
discussion
here
at
evanston
and
as
well,
which
I
think
was
part
of
your
initial
question.
K
If
and
if
I
can
say
that
as
a
citizen
here
in
the
community,
I'm
extremely
proud
of
my
community,
because
we
have
so
many
people
who
care
and
despite
the
however
people
may
express
that.
But
underlying
the
fact
is
that
people
are
passionate
about
their
community
and
the
fact
that
they
care
and
that
that's
important
to
have
that
in
order
to
be
able
to
work
with
and
then
on
the
other
side.
K
Having
had
the
honor
to
work
with
the
department,
as
a
citizen
in
the
community
I'm
also
very
proud
and
honored
to
have
a
police
department
as
fine
as
we
have
here
in
Evanston
I
mean
it's
not
perfect
by
any
measure,
but
it's
a
great
police
department
and
there's
a
number
of
officers
who
care
who
are
passionate
about
their
work
and
I.
Think
if
we
can
match
a
match
that
concern
match
that
passion.
I
really
think.
There's
opportunities
to
group
to
do
great
work
here
at
understand.
Additional
work
did
I
answer
your
question.
No.
B
K
A
great
question
and,
in
all
honesty,
I,
have
not
found
to
my
knowledge,
one
community
that
is
the
one
you're
like
evanston
is.
There
was
a
very
extensive
process
that
went
on
and
the
chief
could
speak
to
this
better
than
I
came
how
many
different
units,
how
many
different
departments
different
shifts,
how
it
was
an
all
encompassing
process
and
to
the
degree
that
it
invited
the
community
into
the
process
and
the
extent
of
the
service
who
I
wasn't.
So.
K
My
approach
is
not
prescriptive,
so
I
didn't
come
in
and
prescribe
the
medicine
to
fix
the
problems,
and
it
wasn't
me
to
tell
the
community
or
the
department
what
was
wrong,
but
I
think
what
additionally
was
unique
about.
This
is
the
fact
that
the
community
had
the
opportunity
to
express
their
concerns
in
the
manner
in
which
they
did
coupled
with
officers
being
able
to
do
the
same
thing
and
putting
both
of
those
together.
It
formulated
formulating
that
into
the
training.
C
J
Them
to
head
to
the
doctor's
comments,
I
think
that
other
communities
will
look
to
us
to
see
how
to
do
this
with
a
unique
resource
we
had
with
dr.
Logan
and
in
to
bring
him
into
the
community
he's
familiar
with,
even
as
talented
as
dr.
Thompson
is
trying
to
explain.
Evanston
in
three
days
is
not
happening,
and
so
that
knowledge,
community
knowledge
is
invaluable
and
I.
Think
as
other
communities
go
forward
to
become
compliant
with
the
newly
passed
Community
Safety
Act
by
the
state
of
Illinois
will
be
the
model
that
they
will
come
to
us.
E
That
was
what
really
my
comment
was
about.
How
we
got
here
with
dr.
Logan
is
because
we
knew
that
and
I
you
know
I'm.
The
chief
was
just
so
receptive
to
and
finding
someone
who
could
do
it
here,
who
really
understood
our
community
knew
about
our
community
I
think
it
was
very
unique
and
very
proud
of
it.
Thank
you.
