A
Welcome
everyone:
this
is
mayor,
steve
hagerty.
You
are
joining
our
fifth
in
a
series
of
discussions
about
policing
in
evanston.
Today
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
the
complaint
process
here
in
evanston
against
officers
or
any
kind
of
service
that
you
receive
from
the
police
department
and
how
that
works.
This
series
is
geared
towards
establishing
a
foundation
and
knowledge
in
the
community
about
various
operations
of
our
police
department.
A
We've
talked
about
use
of
force,
we've
talked
about
training
and
today
again
we're
going
to
talk
about
the
complaint
process.
This
is
our
fifth
one.
We
are
working
on
adding
additional
topics
to
this
series
and
we'll
come
out
and
post
that
my
hope
is
that
they'll
continue
to
be
at
noon
on
mondays.
A
Today,
I'm
pleased
to
have
with
us
several
guests,
some
of
whom
you're
familiar
with
our
chief
of
police
demetrius
cook,
is
with
us.
He
is
in
the
center
right
there
we
have
with
him
to
his
right.
A
commander
jody
hart,
who
used
to
be
in
charge
of
the
office
of
professional
services.
Is
that
what
the
s
stands
for
so.
A
Standards
standard
excuse
me
so
office
of
professional
standards
used
to
be
now
he's
the
commander.
For
the
night
time
shift
midnight
shift
really
at
the
police
department
to
chief
cook's
left
is
sergeant.
Warnock
sergeant
warnock
is
now
overseeing
the
office
of
professional
standards.
We
also
have
with
us
matthew.
Mitchell.
A
A
To
take
a
look
at
the
entire
complaint
process
to
do
some
best
practices,
research
around
the
country
and
see
what
other
comparable
communities
use,
and
so
today
I
want
the
listeners
and
viewers
to
understand
how
that
committee
functioned
and
what
their
findings
and
then
their
recommendations
were
to
save.
A
Some
of
those
recommendations
may
have
already
been
adopted.
Some
may
not
matthew,
and
I
talked
earlier
last
week.
Franklin
would
be
free
to
share
you
know
any
anything.
A
So
where
I
think
I
want
to
start
at
the
beginning
is
just
with
a
you
know,
open-ended
question
chief
or,
if
you
could
give
it
to
sergeant
warnick,
just
to
describe
to
our
viewers
the
complaint
process
at
a
high
level
here
in
evanston,
and
then
we'll
we'll
drill
down
from
there.
So
everybody's
aware
this
is
being
broadcast,
live
on
channel
16,
which
is
our
local
television
station
as
well
as
on
facebook
live.
A
If
you
have
questions
as
we're
going
through
this
today,
please
feel
free
to
put
them
into
the
comments
into
the
comments
and
patrick
degnan.
Who's
working
behind
the
scenes
will
help
feed
those.
D
So
I
good
afternoon,
everybody
mayor
I'll
answer
that
question
on
the
complaint
process.
So
typically
a
complaint
can
come
in
either
through
a
patrol
supervisor
could
come
in
through
our
office
either
online.
We
have
places
online
through
the
city
website.
Where
you
can
file
a
complaint,
you
can
do
it
anonymously,
leave
us
a
voicemail.
However,
you
leave
it.
We
end
up
in
taking
the
complaint.
D
We
request
that
or,
as
that
somebody
fill
out
a
complaint
register
for
them
once
they
do
that,
we
will
take
a
look
at
it.
We
will
gather
all
the
information
follow
up
on
it.
I
speak
with
the
chief
and
see
how
kind
of.
D
Into
if
it's
going
to
stay
as
a
complaint
and
register,
and
if
it's
going
to
be
a
formal
complaint,
we'll
go
go
down
that
route
now
with
the
formal
complaints
officers
do
have
rights,
so
we
have
to
follow
a
certain
standard
and
process
per
statute.
D
If
it's
going
to
be
something
where
a
citizen
just
wants
to
give
us
a
heads
up
on
something
and
they
don't
really
want
to
follow
through
with
it,
we'll
still
investigate
it
the
same
way,
but
the
discipline
level
might
not
be
as
great.
So
that's
something
that
we
can
just
investigate
and
then
once
we
take
a
look
at
it,
we
put
it
back
down
to
that
officer's
supervisor.
D
They
then
take
a
look.
Do
their
investigation
review
body
body-worn
camera
speak
to
any
witnesses
whatever
they
need
to
do
to
conduct
their
investigation
at
that
point
they
send
it
up
to
their
commander.
So
that's
that
first
line
supervisor
is
typically
a
sergeant.
They
send
it
up
to
their
commander
their
commander
reviews.
It
gives
a
an
opinion
sends
it
up
to
the
deputy
chief
who
also
reviews
it
gives
an
opinion,
and
then
it
goes
to
the
chief.
D
The
chief
does
have
the
final
say
as
far
as
discipline
at
the
police
department,
so
once
the
chief
gets
it,
he
ends
up
given
his
review
of
it
and
decides
the
discipline
and
then,
from
that
point
it
comes
back
to
our
office
where
we
file
it
and
then
there's
disciplinary
action.
That's
given
to
the
officer
we
give
them
what's
called
a
disciplinary
action
form
and
we
send
that
back
down
through
the
chain
of
command.
A
A
There
are
three
supervisor's
eyes
on
the
findings
and
the
recommendation
for
discipline
by
the
time
it
it
gets
to.
The
cheat.
You've
got
the
supervisor
the
commander
and
then
chief
cook.
D
Typically,
it
depends
on
which
unit.
So,
if
it's
like
a
let's
say
it
goes
to
the
traffic
unit,
there's
only
one
sergeant
and
then
straight
to
the
deputy
chief
there's,
not
a
commander
in
that.
So
you
have
two
supervisors,
but
if
it
goes
to
patrol
or
any
of
our
specialized
units
like
our
net
or
problem
solving,
which
is
the
community
leasing,
things
like
that,
it
would
go
to
the
sergeant
typically
and
then
up
to
the
commander,
unless,
obviously
the
complaints
on
the
sergeant,
then
I
would
go
to
commander
level.
A
You
meant
you
mentioned
that
officers
have
certain
rights.
Can
you
explain
explain
that
to
us,
because
I
think
there's
some
people
that
think
hey
as
soon
as
there's
a
complaint
filed?
Why
don't
we
all
know
about
it?
Why
isn't
that
public?
The
name
of
the
officer
involved
and
everything
else?
So
could
you
just
talk
to
us
a
little
about
the
the
rights
that
officers
have
and
where
are
those
derived
from
those
derived
from
labor
contracts
in
life,
those
derived
from
state
laws.
D
Yes,
sir,
there's
a
little
boat,
so
we
do
have
to
work
with
labor
contracts,
so
we
have
to
work
with
fop
contracts
to
make
sure
that
everything
we're
doing
is
following
that,
but
also
the
police
officers
are
recovered
by
the
illinois,
uniform
police
officers,
disciplinary
act,
which
is
yokota,
and
that
gives
officers
certain
rights
as
far
as
being
able
to
bring
an
attorney.
You
know
answering
questions
if
they
answer
a
question
to
us
that
it's
not
used
against
them
criminally
things
of
that
nature
and
that.
D
A
A
That
you
can
find
it
gotcha
gotcha!
Oh
thank
you
and
thank
you
matthew,
mitchell,
just
put
it
up
on
our
zoom
zoom
for
us
matt,
let's,
let's,
let's
talk
a
little
about
the
committee
and
the
work
that
you
did,
one
of
the
things
that
sergeant
warnet
just
mentioned
was
you
know
how
you
can
go
about
filing
a
complaint
if
you
have
one-
and
I
think
that
was
one
of
the
recommendations
for
changes
that
came
out
of
your
committee.
So
could
you
just
talk
a
little
about
the
committee?
A
What
the
objective
and
the
purpose
was
and
then
and
then
just
for
now
talk
about
this
particular
recommendation
of
how
a
resident.
E
E
There
were
nine
members
of
that
committee
and
I'd
love
to
just
shout
out
their
names
because
they
put
in
a
lot
of
hard
work:
karen
courtright
jared
davis,
joy,
anissa,
russell
peter
demuth,
jeff,
parker,
randy,
foreman
d,
vincent
thomas
and
maggie
smith
and
myself,
so
nine
community
members
and
what
we
did
was
do
an
independent
review
of
the
process
of
the
investigation
of
the
current
city
process
for
how
those
complaints
mechanically
and
bureaucratically
work
their
way.
Through
the
system
we
reached
out
to
community
members
and
stakeholders.
E
A
E
B
You
know
I
did
agree
that
you
know
in
order
to
have
more
of
an
intake
process
that
would,
you
know,
make
the
citizens
feel
better
about
coming
forth.
Complaining
was
to
decentralize
the
complaint
process,
and
that
was
one
of
the
first
things
we
did
when
I
came
here
so
now.
Not
only
can
you
file
a
police
complaint
online,
you
can
also
call
over
to
city
hall
to
the
administrative
adjudication
and
file
a
complaint
with
renee
over
there
or
you
can
file
online
on
an
anonymous
complaint.
B
E
Thank
you
can
I
just
add
that
our
recommendations
were
made
in
december
2018
and
chief
cook
took
over
as
police
chief
in
january
2019.,
so
the
the
recommendations
preceded
chief
cook's
time
as
chief,
so
I
appreciate
the
the
additional
ways
you
can
can
do.
The
intake
now.
A
D
D
And
I
know
and
we've
had
it
happen:
some
citizens
come
in
with
their
or
logic
complaint
with
their
their
older
person.
So
that
is
one
way
if
you
feel
more
comfortable
with
that,
we've
had
them
either
come
in
in
person
or
received
a
call
or
an
email,
and
then
we
look
at
it
through
that.
So
that's
another
route
too
that
citizens
can
take
where
they
might
have
a
better
relationship
with
their
older
person.
Okay,.
A
And
chief,
I
just
I'll
go
to
you
matt
in
a
second
chief.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
heard
you
and
everybody
else
heard
you
correctly.
Did
you
say
that
you
can
file
an
anonymous
complaint
as
well?
So
you
don't
have
to
have
your
name.
B
Yes,
you
don't
have
to
put
your
name
on
a
complaint,
we
will
take
the
allegation
and
take
it
as
far
as
we
can
and
during
the
investigative
process
we
may
be
able
to
determine
who
was
involved
in
things
of
that
nature.
So,
yes,
sir,
and
I'll
file
an
anonymous
complaint.
We
recommend
that,
if
of
a
police
officer,
was
done
against
you
that
you
come
forward
but
and
we
don't
encourage
anonymous
complaints,
but
we
will
look
at
it.
B
E
E
If
there's
a
sworn
complaint,
it
triggers
a
duty
by
the
police
department
to
investigate
in
a
certain
way,
so
some
police
departments
in
illinois
will
not
investigate
any
anonymous
complaint.
Any
complaint-
that's
not
sworn
evanston
police
department
does
more
than
that
minimum
required
under
the
law,
but
it
becomes
a
two
as
a
separate
process.
E
B
B
Yes,
but
you
know
we
put
the
same
zeal
and
trying
to
find
misconduct,
whether
it's
a
di
or
cr.
You
know
so
you
got
di
all
the
way
up
to
the
extreme
of
cr.
You
know,
if
you
call
here-
and
you
say,
make
an
allegation.
B
I
don't
wanna
leave
my
name,
we're
gonna,
investigate
that
with
the
same
veracity
as
we
would
any
other
complaint,
and
when
we,
when
that
leads
us
down
a
road,
then
we
can
implement
the
rules,
if
applicable,
to
the
upold
act
with
a
police
officer.
A
H,
chief,
we
received
a
question
from
sharon.
Understand
that
police
officers
have
certain
rights
under
the
uniform
police
officers
disciplinary
act.
Can
you
talk
about
what
protections
they
have
in
the
current
fop
contract.
D
Contract
I
mean
it
yokota
is,
is
gonna
trump
that
we
have
to
follow.
You
pota,
you
know
as
far
as
the
contract
goes,
if
it's
a
formal
complaint,
there's
really
nothing
in
the
contract
that
is
going
to
allow
an
officer
to
kind
of
sidestep
in
quota,
so
the
contract
I
mean
we
do
have
to
follow
it.
But
a
lot
of
that,
too,
is
with
grievances.
D
A
Does
the
echo
does
the
fop
contract
provide
guidelines
that
need
to
be
followed
in
terms
of
if
an
officer
breaks
this
protocol
of
that
protocol
of
that
protocol?
This
is
what
the
penalty
would
be,
or
anything
like
that.
D
That's
all
through
our
policies
and
procedures
here
at
the
police
department
and
one
other
thing
too,
on
a
formal
complaint.
An
officer
does
not
have
an
option
not
to
answer
a
question.
They
must
answer
our
questions
if
it's
a
formal
complaint,
so
you
know
if
they
come
in
here,
they're
subject
to
discipline.
If
they
choose
not
to
answer
a
question
and.
D
Sure,
typically,
it's
the
amount
of
discipline,
so
anything
over
three
days
is
going
to
be
a
formal
complaint
and
with
that
comes
certain
rights
that
the
officer
has
afforded
so,
which
is
the
yokota
and,
with
the
informal
complaint
up
to
three
days,
we're
not
giving
them
giving
them
their
notice
of
investigation
their
rights
and
that
we
basically
do
the
investigation
and
their
hand
of
discipline.
A
Okay,
what
are
the
levels
of
discipline
discipline
for
officers
found
to
have
violated
rules,
policies
or
laws.
D
A
So
could
you
give?
Could
you
give
us
examples
of
past
incidents
where
complaints
were
filed
and
just
at
a
high
level
like
here's,
what
the
complaint
was
and
without
revealing
any
officers
names
or
anything
like
that,
because
I
know
they're
protected
by
your
personnel
laws
and
everything
else,
but
to
give
us
a
sense
of
the
amount
of
discipline,
because
I
think
what
happens
sometimes
is
our
residents
see
something
that
sure
looks
like
it's
not
protocol?
It
goes
through
the
whole
process.
A
You
review
it.
You
know,
and
no
one
really
knows
at
the
end
of
the
day
was
that
officer
disciplined
or
not,
and
if
so,
what
degree
of
discipline
would
they
give?
Well.
B
The
discipline
can
come
in
at
a
number
of
levels
number
one.
What
I
look
at
when
we're
issuing
discipline
is
the
officer's
past
record
with
respect
to
discipline,
if
he's
an
officer
that
has
been
involved
in
numerous
incidents,
you
know
when
he's
issued
discipline
for
a
particular
infraction
it
may
not
start
in
the
in
a
normal
sense
of
progressive
discipline
and
progressive
discipline
is
what
commander
wright
just
spoke
of.
B
You
know
you
got
a
oral
you
get
a
written,
then
you
get
disciplinary
suspension
in
in
terms
of
punitive
action
against
officer
or
suspension
time
where
money
is
taken
out
of
his
pocket.
B
What
I
also
like
to
do
well
with
that
I
do
in
terms
of
when
I
issue
discipline,
I
always
issue
training,
so
that
way,
when
an
officer
does
that
infraction
again,
I
can
take
be
a
little
bit
more
punitive,
because
if
I
discipline
you
for
one
thing
and
then
I
see
you
the
training
on
it,
if
you
do
that
again,
it's
it's
gonna
be
a
little
bit
more
severe
discipline.
B
So
you
know
everybody
is
not
going
to
get
the
same
discipline
for
the
same
infraction
and
that
may
be
based
upon
prior
disciplinary
action,
whether
or
not
if
we
meet-
and
I
feel
you
understand
that
discipline
was
necessary.
You
know,
police
officers
have
a
sense
when
they've
done
wrong.
They
know
when
they
have
done
something
wrong.
If
they
wanted
to
admit
they've
done
something
wrong,
then
I
can
help
them.
B
But
outside
of
that,
I
I
can't,
and
I
stick
to
the
standard
discipline
that
would
be
considered
progressive
this
but
officer
with
10
prior
infractions
he's
not
going
to
get
the
same
as
the
officer
that
this
may
be
his
first
time.
A
Police
force
has
some
sort
of
infraction
you
know
of
the
policy,
and
let
me
just
let
me
just
say
before
you
answer
that,
like
we're
all
human
everybody,
everybody
everybody
makes
mistakes,
we're
talking
police
today,
but
it's
no
different.
If
it's,
you
know,
public
works
department,
fire
department,
the
engineering
department
and
all
of
that
big
difference
right
is,
you
know.
The
police
officers
have
a
lot
of
responsibility.
They
carry
weapons.
If
something
like
terribly
wrong,
you
know
somebody
could
be
seriously
hurt
or
worse.
A
So
I'm
just
curious.
Like
is
that
you
know.
Do
we
keep
those
statistics?
I
mean
in
the
the
reason
that
question
came
to
me
chief,
is
you
said
just
as
an
example,
I
said
you
know,
somebody's
got
ten
infractions,
you
know
in
their
personnel
file
and
I
of
course
went
well
ten
infractions.
That
sounds
like
a
lot
like
it
sounds
like
somebody
who
doesn't
is
is
making
a
lot
of
mistakes?
B
Yeah
first,
I
want
people
to
understand
that
you
know
when
you
say
discipline
it
covers
it
covers
everything
here.
You
know
it's
not
just
a
citizen
complaint.
It's
everything!
It's
how
you
drive
a
city
vehicle
is
whether
you're
on
time
for
work.
It's
whether
you
miss
court,
is
whether
it's
your
conversation
with
people.
You
know
if
you've
been
derogatory
in
your
conversation
with
people
that
could
be
a
source
of
discipline,
so
discipline
in
a
police
department.
B
It
covers
a
whole
spectrum
of
things
outside
of
citizens,
police
interaction
and
so
at
some
point
in
everybody's
career.
Here
you
know
our
officer,
it
may
miss
court.
He
may
have
a
vehicle
accident
in
a
city
vehicle.
You
know
his
uniform
may
be
improper
or
he
may
miss.
You
know
call
in
sick
too
many
times
within
a
certain
period
of
time.
So
when
you
look
at
discipline,
it
covers
a
whole
spectrum
of
things.
A
Well,
thank
you
thank
you
for
clarifying
that
for
me
and
for
others
that
are
listening
because
there's
you
know
you
can
get
disciplined
for
different
things.
One
being
you
know,
citizen,
citizen,
complaints
against
the
police.
If
those
are,
if
those
are
validated,
we
did
have
a
question
from
sean
who
asked
are
complaints,
so
these
would
be
citizen.
Complaints
are
complaints
against
police
officers,
public
record.
D
So
all
right,
our
complaint
register
crs
and
our
departmental
inquiries.
The
dis
end
up
going
to
now
the
cprc,
which
is
the
newly
formed
commission
and
the
results
of
that
end
up
going
to
human
services
like
tonight,
there's
a
human
services
committee
meeting,
so
those
complaints,
like
the
actual
dispositions
of
everything
from
them,
will
be
talked
about
at
human
services.
If
one
of
the
human
service
committee
members
chooses
to
ask
questions
about
it,.
A
Members
of
members
of
the
citizen
police
review
commission
get
to
see
all
the
information
unredacted
in
everything,
but
can
any
resident
in
the
city
see
that.
B
Okay!
Now
that's
the
reasons
for
that.
You
know
some
of
this
stuff
ends
up
in
civil
litigation.
Some
of
it
ends
up
in
in
federal
court,
so
we're
not
making
all
of
that
information
public
right.
Thank
thank
thank.
A
You
matt,
can
you
talk
about
talk
about
the
second
recommendation
that
you
had?
We
talked
about
the
first
one
in
terms
of
improving
intake
and
giving
residents.
Many
different
options
to
file
a
complaint
and
not
having
to
go
to
the
police
department.
Give
us
another
recommendation.
E
E
The
previous
citizen,
reviewer
cpac,
was
kind
of
put
together
over
time
in
an
unplanned
manner.
It
didn't
organizationally,
it
wasn't
very
sound.
E
E
Cpac
did
not
do
a
great
job
of
offering
transparency,
because
there
was
a
summary
of
an
incident
that
was
never
made
public
and
if
there
was
any
video
footage
that
was
held
in
executive
session.
So
if
you
were
just
watching
cpac
meetings,
you
really
couldn't
see
what
was
going
on.
They
would
never
get
into
the
details
of
the
complaint.
E
Unless
there
were
questions,
it
wasn't
a
transparent
process.
So
the
recommendation
was
to
create
a
review
board
that
that
met
that
transparency
requirement
and
the
city
has
created
a
new
committee,
the
city
citizen,
police,
review,
commission
and
mayor.
You
can
probably
talk
to
more
details
about
that.
A
Yeah,
so
thank
thanks
for
for
describing
that
recommendation
so
yeah
that
committee's
make
comprised
of
nine
people.
It
was
just
appointed
and
approved.
I
appointed
the
the
members
approved
by
the
city
council
about
a
month
ago.
They
just
had
their
very
first
meeting
last
week,
I
believe,
or
the
week
or
the
week
before
and.
A
One
part
of
what
they're
doing
right
now
is
just
getting
themselves
familiar
with
the
different.
You
know,
protocols
that
the
police
that
the
police
have
chief-
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
talk
more
about
the
work,
we're
doing
right
now
to
get
that
that
board
sort
of
up
to
speed
and
then
when
they
will
start
to
hear
actual
complaints
as
well.
B
Yes,
we
we
met
with
the
board,
so
what
we're
doing
here
at
the
police
department
is
offering
outside
expert
training
on
the
use
of
force.
B
We've
secured
the
services
of
a
professor
of
law
enforcement
from
dupage
the
college
of
dupage,
who
will
come
in
and
give
the
group
training
on
the
use
of
force,
as
defined
in
the
illinois,
compile
statutes
and
then
also,
we've
worked
with
our
partners
in
skokie,
the
skokie
police
department
has
graciously
allowed
us
to
utilize
their
virtua
simulator.
It's
like
a
half
a
million
dollar
machine
and
you
step
in
and
it's
a
3d
model
of
a
use
of
force
situation.
B
The
commission
will
be
given
a
simulated
handgun
and
based
upon
the
information
they're
given
you'll
have
to
make
those
split.
Second
decisions,
as
it
relates
to
whether
I
should
use
force
or
should
I
not
use
force
or
should
I
utilize
a
lower
level
of
force.
So
that
is
part
of
the
training.
B
The
use
of
force
training
will
be
an
ongoing
because
you
know
you
know
we're
in
the
post-george
floyd
era
now,
and
a
lot
of
things
are
going
to
be
changing
with
respect
to
use
of
force.
B
So
this
is
not
just
a
one-time
situation
where
we're
going
to
be
training
them,
we'll
be
training
them
as
the
laws
in
illinois
change.
Also,.
A
B
And
then
we're
gonna,
we're
gonna
put
the
third
thing
we're
gonna
be
doing
is
putting
the
candidates
or
the
board
members
from
the
committee
in
a
squad
car
with
different
police
officers,
so
they
can
get
a
use,
a
feel
of
what
it's
like
to
be
in
a
police.
Car
they're
gonna
be
talk
how
to
review.
B
You
know
what
the
wording
and
letters
say
when
we
have
a
video
in
car
camera
video
or
whether
it's
body,
camera
video
they'll,
be
talk
about
all
of
that
type
of
stuff.
Also.
A
B
They'll
be
able
to
they'll
be
able
to
look
at
all
of
the
video.
You
know,
read
the
reports
and
so
forth.
Thank.
E
D
No
yeah,
it
depends
if
there's
separate
investigations,
we
do
a
use
of
force
investigation
if
there's
an
allegation
or
a
finding.
When
that
use
of
force
investigation
is
done
of
improper
action,
then
typically
an
administrative
review,
which
is
something
that's
internal,
would
be
done.
If
a
citizen
complained,
you
know
the
force
was
excessive
or
something
like
that.
We
we
could
open
up.
We
could
do
a
complaint
register
for
a
departmental
inquiry
depending
on
the
complaint
and.
B
Let
me
let
me
explain
one
other
thing
with
respect
to
what
sergeant
warning
just
said
when
we
read
you
know
when
upper
management
means
deputy
chief
and
above
myself,
when
we
read
our
use
of
force
investigation,
we
don't
necessarily
wait
on
a
citizen
to
come
in
and
complain.
B
You
know
I
I
can
make
a
judgment
as
to
whether
or
not
a
former
or
cr
should
be
taken
out
just
based
upon
reading
the
police
reports
and
looking
at
the
body
camera
video.
So
we
do
that
on
a
regular
basis.
B
So,
even
if
the
citizen-
and
we
do
have
some
time
where
the
citizen
don't
come
in
we'll
do
the
cr
we'll
contact
the
citizen
and
get
their
perspective
on
what
happened.
If
they
don't
want
to
cooperate,
then
we'll
make
it
an
administrative
review
and
issue.
We
have
issue
discipline
based
on
situations
like
what
I'm,
explaining
to
you
now.
A
But
any
use
of
force
here
in
evanston
is
re.
That's
that's
that
one,
and
that
was
mentioned
absolutely
clearly
at
the
last
use
of
four
session
that
we
have
as
well.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you.
We
had
a
question
from
carolyn
at
what
point
the
citizens
who
file
a
complaint
against
a
police
officer,
get
a
formal
response
from
the
eppd
regarding
the
outcome
of
their
complaint.
D
Letter
that
would
be
after
I
was
after
cpac
or
now,
the
cprc
and
prior
to
it,
going
to
the
human
services
committee.
So
that
way
they
know
what
the
outcome
is.
We
send
it
certified
mail,
typically,
we'll
call
be
in
touch
with
the
complainant
throughout
the
process.
But
this
way
we
send
a
certified
mail
and
they
know
when
the
meeting
is
going
to
be
so
if
they
would
like
to
go
to
hsc
or
at
this
point
virtually
attend,
they
can
so
they
can
address
the
committee.
A
Okay,
so
when
citizen
police
review
commission
finishes,
that's
when
a
letter
goes
to
the
complaint
and
says
this
is
the
findings
and
disposition
of
of
this?
It's
now
going
to
go
to
the
human
services
committee,
which
is
the
elected
representatives
of
this
city
and
so
yep,
so
the
so
of
the
city
council.
So
the
person
can
go
there
if
they
want
to
object
or
make
a
state.
A
Matt,
why
don't
you
take
us
through
the
a
third
recommendation
that
the
committee
had.
E
E
One
of
the
one
of
the
things
that
that
happens
regularly
is
there's
a
complaint.
There's
an
investigation
and
the
police
department
finds
that
there's
not
a
rule
violation.
The
police
officer
was
following
the
rules,
but
there
was
still
a
bad
interaction
and
probably
if
you
asked
anybody
involved,
they
would
hurry.
It
was
a
bad
interaction.
E
E
The
idea
is
to
create
more
personal
relationships
in
disputes
in
conflict,
as
opposed
to
strictly
rule
violations
when
the
whole
complaint
process
you're
only
looking
at
whether
the
police
officer
viola
violated
the
policy
manual
there's
times
where
they're
following
the
policy,
but
the
the
outcome
is
still
not
a
good
outcome
and
the
mediation
program
was
an
idea
to
address
that.
A
A
Right
chief,
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
chime
in
on
any
any
of
that
on
that
recommendation.
B
Yeah
I
understand
where
we're
matt,
where
he's
coming
from
with
with
that
recommendation,
but
you
know
we,
we
can't
force
a
police
officer
to
do
mediation
on
a
disciplinary
issue,
either
we're
gonna
discipline,
the
police
officer
or
if
we
find
that
there
were
no
rule
violations,
we
can't
make
him
apologize
because
there
was
a
bad,
a
perception
of
a
bad
incident
with
a
citizen
that
is
my
job
to
invite
a
citizen
in
try
to
explain
what
happened,
and
then
I
which
I
have
done
it
numerous
occasions,
just
apologize
for
someone
even
having
to
come
into
the
police
station
and
make
a
complaint.
B
We
also
utilize
our
problem-solving
team
to
go
into
communities
where
it
was
a
perception
that
the
police
officer
did
something
wrong.
I
just
got
one
other
day
where
the
residents
saying
that
I
had
too
many
white
cops
in
the
neighborhood.
B
I
need
to
get
the
white
cops
out
of
this
neighborhood
and
I
have
to
go
in
behind
that
and
explain
to
people
the
reason
why
police
officers
are
there
and
it
may
not
be
to
their
liking.
B
That
is
something
that
we
don't
do
with
the
police
officers.
We
looked
at
the
recommendation
when
we
did
it.
We
got
a
conversation
with
the
union
about
that
and
they
had
an
issue
with
with
police
officers,
mediating
a
deal
with
a
citizen
that
that
enforced
them
that
had
them
that
could
have
had
them
invoke
their
euphoria
rights
under
that.
So
we
did
look
at
at
that.
Commander
leaks
commander,
harding
myself,
and
that
was
something
that
the
union
felt
was
counter-productive.
A
And
I
know
this
resident,
I
know
chief
right
and
you
know
some
of
the
residents
too,
who
feel
like
it
would
actually
be
really
productive
right,
like
with
certain
incidents
where
maybe
policy
wasn't
broken,
like
matt
said,
but
you
know,
a
conversation
between
the
different
parties
could
help.
You
know,
heal
a
traumatic
event.
B
It
shouldn't
just
be
the
responsibility
of
the
problem-solving
team
to
push
out
problem
solving
in
in
terms
of
addressing
issues
or
or
crime
prevention,
or
any
of
those
type
relationship
building
in
the
neighborhood.
So
we're
trying
to
push
this
down
to
the
to
the
grassroots
level
here
with
the
patrolmen,
so
that
when
these
encounters
happen,
hopefully
the
police
officer,
saying
the
citizen
will
know
each
other
and
be
able
to
chalk
it
out.
A
Let's
talk,
let's
talk
a
little
about
the
actual
number
of
complaints,
so
we've
talked
about
some
of
the
process.
The
complaint
process,
how
many
complaints
either
in
2019
or
if
you
have
the
data
for
2020,
have
we
received
and
can
you
share
with
our
viewers?
You
know
what
categories
those
complaints
fall
into.
I
imagine
there's
different.
B
B
I'll
start
off,
while
he
looks
for
use
of
force
investigations.
Last
year
2019
we
had
35,
whereas
in
2018
we
had
27.
B
When
you
look
at
the
use
of
force,
we
have
14
weaponless
incidents,
we
had
seven
non-impact
control,
we
had
11
allegations
of
injury,
we
had
one
chemical
that
was
with
chemical
mace.
We
had
one
of
those
and
we
had
12
taser
deployments
and
that
and
that
that
was
for
2019.
B
D
Okay,
so
this
I
just
want
to
clarify
with
the
the
complaint,
so
there's
formal
and
informal
complaints
and
then
formal
and
informal
investigations.
So
a
cr
comes
in
it's
complete
and
register.
That's
a
form
you
can
fill
out
online,
that's
the
form
you
can
get
from
us
and
that's
for
it
to
be
formal.
We
have
the
complainant
come
in,
we
meet
with
them
and
then
we
have
it
notarized
from
there.
We
review
it
and
the
chief
decides
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
formal,
informal
investigation,
meaning
the
amount
of
discipline
attached
to
it.
D
If
it's
something,
even
though
they
came
in
and
did
the
the
complaint,
it
might
not
be
egregious
enough
for
it
to
be
over
three
days.
So
at
that
point,
it'd
be
an
informal
investigation.
D
Now,
if
someone
came
in
say
they
filled
the
form
out
and
they
just
left
it
at
the
desk
at
our
service
desk
and
it
made
its
way
up
to
our
office
and
we
review
it
and
we
call
them
and
they
say
look
I
don't
want
to
come
back
in.
I
don't.
I
just
want
you
to
investigate
it.
You
would
make
that
a
departmental
inquiry.
What
we
would
do,
though,
is
investigate
it.
The
same
as
the
chief
said
before,
we
would
do
the
same
amount
of
work
on
it.
D
It
would
not
take
away
what
we
do
and
the
investigation
could
still
end
up
being
a
formal
investigation,
leading
to
more
than
three
days
three
or
more
days
of
discipline,
so
just
because
the
citizen
didn't
want
to
follow
through
with
it.
If
we
review
it
and
do
find
that
there
is
something
there,
we
will
proceed
with
it
as
a
formal
investigation
versus
informal.
A
Many
of
the
others
that
the
chief
talked
about
where
he
rattled
up
the
beginning
use
of
force
and
all
of
that
those
are
reviews
that
you
do,
but
those
aren't
you
know
in
response
necessary
to
complaints.
That's
true.
D
A
D
Well
then,
it
becomes
either
a
cr
or
a
di.
So
then
it
would,
though,
so
if,
if
there
is-
or
we
also
review
it-
and
it
becomes
an
administrative
review
which
is
internal
and
those
do
not
go
to
the
citizen
review
commission
because
they're,
not
citizen
complaints,
they're
internal
complaints
that
are
started
by
a
supervisor
but.
D
Sure
so
for
2019
we
had
12
complaint
registers,
so
the
crs
against
4018.
28-10.
B
And
I
think
you
know
you
know
when
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
the
increase
can
be
attributed
to
people
feeling
more
comfortable
and
coming
into
the
police
department.
B
Following
that
complaint,
I
like
to
take
credit
for
that.
I
think
that
you
know
if
you
make
people
feel
comfortable
or
they
have
a
sense
of
trust
in
the
police
department.
If
they'll
they'll
come
in
and
file
a
complaint
and
we
go
back
with
you
know
you
can
follow,
you
can
come
in.
We
had
just
a
guy
come
in
and
and
wanted
to
complain
on
the
incident
that
happened
two
years
ago.
We
take
it
and
we
go
back
and
we
try
to
find
the
data
to
substantiate
his
claim
or
disprove
his
claim.
A
Also,
all
right!
Well
I
mean
I,
I
think,
people
as
long
as
they
feel
like
there's
no
retaliation
for
complaining
or
anything
like
that
which
becomes
a
culture
you
know
of
an
organization,
then
they're
going
to
be
open
to.
You
know
filing
a
complaint
which
should
always
be
viewed,
as
you
know,
hey
if
we
did
something
wrong,
making
sure
that
person
or
group
of
people
are
disciplined,
but
they
may
be
our
organization
better.
On
that,
you
want
to
add
something
to
this
conversation.
B
Well,
I
think,
with
the
advent
of
body
cameras,
officers
are
doing
what
they're
supposed
to
do
more
and
let's
be
courteous
to
the
citizen,
control
their
inner
bias
and
do
a
good
job,
because
you
know
we
do
do
audits
on
our
on
our
body.
B
Camera
video
each
supervisor
on
each
shift
looks
at
a
percentage
of
his
shifts,
video
and
we're
going
to
find
video
that
either
we're
going
to
take
action
on
because
we
felt
it
was
necessary
for
the
efficiency
of
the
department
or
we
gonna
utilize-
that
video
for
training
purposes
to
train
other
officers
on
whether
or
not
this
is
how
you
approach
a
car,
for
instance,
I'm
officer
cook
with
the
everton
police
department.
B
The
reason
I
stopped
you
you
were
doing
25
and
a
30.
May
I
please
look
at
your
driver's
license
and
insure
when
officers
do
that
we
utilize
that
for
training
purposes
when
they
do
something
egregious,
we
have
ways
of
not
ostracizing
a
police
officer
by
blocking
his
face
out
and
we'll
utilize
that
video.
B
This
is
what
you
do
not
do.
So
I
think
body
cameras
coupled
with
in
car
cameras
gives
us
a
greater
perspective.
What
went
on
on
a
scene
and
and
the
officers
know
that
we're
going
to
be
reviewing
this
camera
these
cameras.
So
I
think
that
may
be
a
contributing
factor
to
why
some
of
the
complaints
went
down.
A
Thank
you
chief.
I
know
some
people
have
asked
about
again.
What
are
the
types
of
complaints
that
citizens
have
registered
in
2020,
sergeant
warnock
before
this
provided
a
list
to
me,
unprofessional
conduct
was
one.
D
So
far
through
2020
we
have
one
complaint
register
and
that
came
in
and
was
done
as
a
formal
investigation
that
is
still
pending.
So
the
results
will
end
up
going
to
the
cprc
and.
D
D
A
B
Well,
we
we
have
a
new
system
here,
benchmark,
which
is
a
program
that
helps
us
do
that,
and
we
look
at
patterns
for
training
purposes
and
also
in
terms
of
what
may
be
considered
a
policy
field.
B
If
you
know,
if
we
see
in
the
same
pattern
of
incidents
with
multiple
officers,
it
could
be
organizational
culture,
it
could
be
policy,
inequities
and
things
of
that
nature.
So
this
benchmark
system
gets
all
of
this
information
into
one
program.
B
It's
an
analytical
program
and
it
it
paints
a
picture
of
early
warnings
and
things
of
that
nature
that
we
may
not
necessarily
see,
but
this
program
can
forecast
what
may
be.
A
D
As
far
as
well,
it
depends
where,
if
and
someone
calls
the
office
of
professional
standards
and
leaves
a
voicemail
or
talks
to
us
that
says
they
don't
want
to
leave
any
other
information,
we'll
still
investigate
it,
and
it
does
go
down
to
the
first
line
supervisor.
All
complaints
go
down
to
the
first
line
supervisor
for
review
and
investigations.
D
That's
how
the
process
works
and,
like
I
stated
before
it
goes
up
to
the
commander
and
up
to
the
deputy
chief
and
the
chief
has
the
final
say
and
just
to
clarify
too.
The
opposite
professional
standard
does
not
make
any
recommendations
for
discipline.
We
just
do
a
unbiased
investigation,
so
we
compile
the
facts
and
we
send
the
facts
down
to
the
supervisor,
to
review
and
then
decide
if
a
rule
violation
is
met
and
then
they
tag
on
discipline
and
then
it
goes
up
and
the
discipline
could
get
changed
at
each
level.
D
A
E
The
final
recommendation
was
to
create
a
police
auditor
position.
I
think
one
of
the
overall
themes
of
the
recommendation
of
the
committee
is
to
have
more
civilian
oversight
and
civilian
involvement
in
police
policy,
so
the
auditor
would
be
a
civilian
position
that
would
audit
the
investigation
audit.
The
discipline
have
primary
access
to
the
investigation
could
potentially
guide
the
investigation.
E
And
finally,
this
came
up
in
the
in
the
last
comment.
Make
policy
recommendations
would
be
able
to
look
at
patterns
and
and
make
policy
recommendations
to
the
chief
to
implement
and
that
has
not
been
undertaken.
C
A
Been
adopted
yet,
and
so
this
person
would
it
sounded
for
me,
it's
been
a
while,
since
I
read
the
report,
which
I
did
is
that
this
person
sits
between
sort
of
the
police
investigation
and
then
the
citizen
police
review
commission.
C
E
Hsc
they
would
be
in
an
independent
auditor
of
the
process.
C
E
Very
similar
to
like
an
inspector
general
position,
you
see
in
a
lot
of
city
government.
A
So
can
you
can
you
share
with
us
matt
when
you
went
out
there
as
part
of
your
your
role
as
a
committee,
and
you
looked
at
different
cities
and
you
know
different
models
that
were
out
there?
Why
did
you
settle
on
sort
of
this
one
for
evanston,
as
opposed
to?
Because
I
still
to
this
day
of
people
coming
saying?
Oh
there
there
needs
to
be
a
completely
separate
independent.
E
Defensive
process
and
it's
duplicative
because
the
police
are
already
investigating
the
misconduct
so
yeah.
There
is
a
model
that
has
a
separate
investigation
and
generally
the
police,
under
those
models
and
in
illinois
have
to
comply,
it's
part
of
the
the
pota
and
then
they
make,
and
this
is
where
it's
different
and
then
in
chicago.
You
see
this
where
there's
a
police
board
that
administers
discipline
that
can
be
separate
from
the
police
chief,
it's
a
more
expensive
model
and
the
problems
that
we
saw
in
evanston
weren't,
egregious
enough
to
to
warrant
those
resources.
E
I
would
also
say
that
this
whole
process
never
precludes
a
criminal
investigation
into
police
misconduct
that,
if
there's
egregious
police
misconduct,
most
likely,
the
police
officer
is
going
to
get
fired.
You
know
through
this
process,
but
but
that
doesn't
preclude
a
an
outside
criminal
investigation
to
that
behavior.
A
Thank
you
for
mentioning
that
man.
I
think
that's
important
for
people
to
to
be
aware.
I
know
we're
running
up
on
on
our
hour,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
just
a
couple:
real,
quick,
rapid
responses
to
some
questions
here
that
I'll
I'll
I'll
pick
up
and
in
a
future
one
we'll
we'll
try
and
get
some
of
these
other
questions
answered.
A
B
It
could
be
if
you
missing
somebody
with
your
gun.
I
don't
expect
a
police
officer
to
be
out
menacing
the
public
with
a
weapon.
So
you
know
when
we
review
body
camera
information
or
in-car
camera
information,
we're
able
to
determine
that
right
off
the
bat.
Whether
or
not
a
officer
had
a
legitimate
reason
to
have
his
weapon
drawn
or
pointed
at
somebody.
A
B
A
Which
gets
the
whole
continuum
of
force
right?
How
many
times
in
the
last
three
years?
If
you
know
this,
how
many
times
in
the
last
three
years
has
epd
found
a
use
of
force
to
be
unjustified.
C
A
A
You
know,
let
me
just
specifically,
then
that's
sort
of
a
statement.
I
guess
specifically,
will
there
be
more
than
letter
of
the
law
notice
of
meetings
so
that
we
may
be
aware
of
the
agenda
and
time
and
date
of
the
virtual
meetings?
I
think
this
is
getting
to
a
point
matt
made
at
the
beginning.
When
the
committee
looked
at
the
cpac
meetings
and
felt
like
there
wasn't
much
information
put
out
there
to
the
to
the
public,
it
was
pretty
mysterious
what
the
complaints
were.
A
You
know
in
terms
of
being
more
responsive
to
our
black
and
brown
communities.
I'll
just
say
that
I
think
the
citizen
police
review
commission
is
an
essential
and
important
committee
in
making
sure
that
we
are
not
mistreating
anyone
in
this
community,
but
particularly
those
that
our
police,
more
than
others,
which
can
be
pickle
and
brown
in
black
communities.
A
I
thought
it
was
important,
took
some
criticism
for
this,
but
important
that
that
committee
be
comprised
of
many
of
many
people
who
live
in
areas
that
are
policed
more
than
other
areas.
So
this
is
a
really,
I
think,
diverse
group
of
people
that
we've
put
together
here
with
a
a
wide
range
of
life.
Experiences
on
that
on
that
committee.
A
C
You
know
our
community
and
I
think
we've
done
that
with
this
citizen
police
review,
commission
and
we're
doing
it
with
other
boards
and
commissions
that
we
have
here.
A
So
can
you
talk
so
maybe
just
if
you
can
walk
our
viewers
through,
so
we
can
understand
when
they
are
seeing
body-worn
camera
video
for
camera.
Video
from
the
automobiles
is
that
when
are
they
in
public
the
citizen
police
review
commission
when
they're
viewing
that
or
is
that
an
executive
session
how's
that
all
over.
D
Opens
meeting
at
standards
so
they
it
this
regular
citizen.
If
you're
in
come
and
watch
the
the
meeting
you
have
to
leave
or
they've
retired
somewhere
else
to
watch
the
video.
A
The
oversight
this
is
from
austin,
the
oversight
agency
in
chicago
has
a
case
portal
online
that
provides
all
the
relevant
information
about
complaints.
Body
camera
footage
incident
reports
with
the
city
be
willing
to
provide
such
a
portal
in
evanston.
B
Well,
the
city
of
chicago
is
under
a
consent
decree
ever
since
you
know
you
all
financed
a
study
to
hear
your
height
study.
That
said,
everson
police
department
had
an
industry
standard
investigative
process
when
it
came
to
reviewing
complaints
and
that
that
study
was
concluded
in
2018..
B
So
evanston
has
had
a
history
of
being
on
par
with
how
these
investigations
should
take
place
now
being
transparent,
I'm
100
for
we
we
we
live
in
a
in
the
era
of
citizen
oversight.
B
A
lot
of
people
that
follow
these
complaints,
don't
want
people
to
know
about
it,
so
we
have
to
really
be
careful
on
how
we
go
about
putting
their
information
out.
We
have
a
dashboard
online
that
we
could
add
some
things
on
recommendation
from
the
city
council
that
they
think
we
should
put
out
and
if
that's
the
way,
it
goes.
B
That's
what
we'll
put
out,
but
just
throwing
the
whole
pot
out
there,
without
really
being
considerate
of
what
is
pertinent
to
transparency
and
versus
what
we
have
to
do.
To
protect
information
for
court
for
litigation,
whether
it's
a
tort
or
whether
it's
a
criminal
investigation
is
something
that
we
need
to
really
consider.
E
I
think
there's
legitimate
privacy
concerns
regarding
making
all
all
the
body
camera
video
public.
Where
I
disagree
with
the
chief
is,
I
think
that
evanston
should
strive
to
far
exceed
the
industry
standard.
If
industry
standard
is
policing
in
america,
I
think
the
evanston
police
department
can
do
a
whole
lot
better.
B
Well,
when
I
say
that
that
you
know
that
our
process
was
far
and
beyond
what
was
acceptable
in
law
enforcement
in
terms
of
investigation
in
terms
of
the
level
of
discipline
in
terms
of
the
different
categories
of
discipline
that
we
investigate,
we
far
exceeded
what
most
police
departments
did.
And
maybe
I
should
say
that
in
terms
of
we've
exceeded
industry
standards
and
that's
true.
A
Thank
you
thank
you
chief
and
thank
you.
Thank
you,
matt.
I
think
we
continue
to
be
a
a
work
in
progress
here
in
evanston.
I'm
pleased
that
we've
got
a
police
chief,
an
entire
department.
That's
always
looking
to
improve
in
whatever
the
area
is
we'll
continue.
We'll
continue
to
do
that.
Matt.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
leadership
on
the
as
chair
of
the
citizen
police
complaint
assessment
community
with
the
other
eight
community
members
who
all
participated
in
that.
A
I
want
to
thank
everybody
for
tuning
in
today
thank
patrick
degnan
for
his
the
scenes
work
and
we
may
be
bringing
a
couple
more
in
this
series
and
we'll
put
those
topics
out
in
the
next
in
the
next
week
in
the
dates
and
when
they,
when
they
will
be
as
well.
I
appreciate
everybody's
time
in
developing
and
understanding
how
our
police
department,
here
in
evanston
evanston
works,
be
well.
Everyone
and
we'll
see
you
at
the
next
in
this
series.
