Description
Minneapolis Public Safety, Civil Rights & Emergency Management Committee Meeting
A
Good
afternoon
going
to
order
this
meeting
of
the
public
safety,
civil
rights
and
emergency
management
committee,
my
name
is
Ken
Gordon
I'm
vice
chair
of
the
committee,
the
chair,
the
committee
councilmember
yang,
is
out
of
town
and
I'm
joined
today.
So
far,
my
council
members,
Reich
Quincy
and
palmisano
okay,
hope
everybody
could
hear
that
we
have
five
items
on
our
agenda
today.
A
The
first
four
items
are
consent.
Items
go
through.
Those
first
in
our
last
item
is
a
discussion
item,
which
is
just
a
recap
that
we've
been
doing
our
mid-year
recap
of
all
the
departments
in
we'll
hear
from
the
police
department.
The
first
item
on
the
consent
agenda
is
accepting
a
grant
from
FEMA
for
a
fire
ground
survival
training
program
in
the
amount
of
659
thousand
one
hundred
fifty
dollars
will
go
from
january
first
2016
through
june.
Thirtieth.
A
B
You
chair
Gordon
I
just
want
to
confirm
that,
as
we
have,
this
ID
number
three
referred
to
ways
and
means
that
we'll
have
a
fulsome
discussion
about
where
that
funding
is
coming
from.
Mid-Year
I
got
a
little
bit
more
information
yesterday
that
some
of
this
money
is
coming
from
click
over
the
past
couple
of
years.
B
Some
of
it
comes
from
cars
police's
putting
some
money
into
this,
but
I
just
need
a
much
better
understanding
of
how
this
is
being
funded
now
and
some
of
the
records
information
unit,
stuff
and
things
from
our
data
governance
audit
are
being
put
aside.
So
I
will
look
to
do
my
own
research
and
have
more
thorough
questions
at
ways
and
means
and
I
think
that's
where
you
would
agree
a
discussion
about
how
our
funding
this
would
be
had
up.
A
That
would
be
certainly
appropriate
with
me,
I'm
not
on
ways.
It
means
yeah.
So
it's
easy
for
me
to
say
about
the
chair,
the
committee
and
they
don't
set
the
agenda,
but
all
of
these
items
will
be
referred
to
ways
and
means
where
they
certainly
can
be
discussed,
and
I
know
the
you
are
in
ways:
it
means
in
soaps,
councilmember,
quincy
and
hey.
I'm
sure
he
just
serve
what
you
said
and
he's
smiling
about
it.
So
I
think
that
makes
sense.
A
So
then,
on
the
seeing
no
other
discussion
on
the
consent
items,
then
I'll
move
all
four
of
those
items
for
approval,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed,
say
no,
any
abstentions
and
those
motions
carry
then,
and
then
we
have
our
fifth
and
final
item,
which
is
a
report
from
the
police
department,
a
recap
in
nevaeh,
where
we
are
mid
year.
2016
and
I
think,
if
you
g
clampy,
is
here
to
report.
C
Welcome
thank
you
good
afternoon,
deputy
chief
Bruce
Balkans
and
myself
we're
going
to
co-present
and
we
would
certainly
take
any
direction
because
five
minutes,
we
could
probably
talk
in
any
given
topic
within
the
police
department
for
five
minutes.
So
we'll
do
our
best
to
briefly
some
up.
Some
of
the
highlights
so
far,
and
certainly
you
know,
take
any
questions.
C
I'll
start
out
with
staffing
I
know
that's
important
for
everybody.
So
as
we
sit
today,
we
are
at
833
sworn
officers
on
the
street.
We're
also
very
it's
also
very
important
for
us
to
note
that
we
have
another
27
in
the
Academy
that
are
scheduled
to
graduate
on
November.
First,
we
have
another
32
that
are
slated
to
begin
a
week
from
Monday
in
our
Academy
and
will
graduate
December
twentieth.
So
yet
this
year
get
the
math
right.
We
have
59
more
bodies
that
we
are
anticipating
hitting
the
street
by
the
end
of
the
year.
C
C
Unfortunately,
I
would
love
to
be
able
to
give
you
a
predicted
number
for
the
end
of
the
year,
but
people
literally
walk
in
and
one
fell
swoop
turned
their
badge
in
and
say:
I'm
done
effective
immediately.
So
it's
very
difficult
for
us
to
predict
who's
going
to
leave
and
win.
So
that
being
said
to
give
you
a
final
number
at
the
end
of
the
year,
we're
really
hoping
that
we
don't
lose
too
many
more
so
coming
into
the
year,
we're
well
staff
down
the
street
a
couple
of
their
highlights:
a
specifically
training
stuff.
C
We
were
given
direction
to
do
crisis
intervention,
team
training,
I'm,
happy
to
report
that
is
going
along
exactly
as
scheduled
and
we
hope
to
have
everyone
on
patrol
almost
500
people
trained
by
the
end
of
the
year.
So
that
is
an
absolute
success
for
us
and
then
we'll
continue
that
next
year,
with
the
rest
of
the
department,
it's
a
large
undertaking
taking
a
week,
/
officer
to
train.
So
it's
a
heavy
investment,
but
it's
paying
off
and
we're
very
pleased.
We've
been
able
to
keep
on
schedule
with
that.
C
We
are
also
pleased
to
announce
every
single
sworn
officer
in
the
department
has
been
through
fair
and
impartial
policing
or
implicit
bias,
training
that
is
officially
completed
and
everybody
has
been
through
it
again,
a
huge
undertaking
to
make
sure
everybody's
gone
through
that
WT
falkens
is
going
to
talk
about
our
national
initiative
and
procedural
justice.
I
was
there
this
morning
doing
my
training
again,
we
are
right
on
track
with
that
and
by
the
end
of
the
year,
everybody
will
be
through
all
procedural
justice
training.
C
So
those
are
all
things
we're
anticipating
next
year
and
that
doesn't
even
touch
upon
our
normal
state
mandated
firearms,
defensive
tactics,
driving
training,
legal
updates
that
we
have
to
do
so
lots
of
stuff
on
the
training
plate
and
then
finally,
I'll
just
finish
up
with
the
body.
Cams
we've
talked
much
more
than
five
minutes
about
those
everything
is
going
right
as
we
want
that
wanted
to
1st
precinct
and
4th
precinct
are
entirely
equipped
with
body
cams
lots
of
good
feedback
from
the
officers.
C
The
first
Precinct
took
an
absolutely
ran
with
it,
giving
us
great
feedback
4th
precinct,
I've,
not
heard
anything
coming
out
of
there.
That
would
cause
us
any
concern
and
we
are
ready
to
go
with
the
3rd
precinct
middle
of
August,
doing
their
training
and
by
the
end
of
October
we
should
have
all
roughly
600
body
cams
out
on
the
street
functioning
so
again,
everything's
going
right
on
track
with
body
cams
right
over
to
w
chief
Falcons.
Thank.
D
You
chaired
Birdman
welcome
just
a
couple
quick
things
on
the
national
initiative
in
our
procedural
justice
updates
everyone's
been
to
it's
divided
into
three
modules
of
24
hours
of
training,
module,
one
everybody
and
the
MPD
is
already
completed
where
we
should
be
about
two
weeks
out
from
completing
everybody
in
module,
2
and
module
3
will
be
completed
by
the
end
of
the
year.
D
As
a
side
note
I
last
week,
I
just
got
a
request
through
the
state's
violent
crimes,
Coordinating
Council,
who
oversees
the
state
task
task
forces
that
they
want
to
have
a
discussion
on
the
NI
training
that
we've
done
and
where
we're
at
with
procedural
justice,
because
I
think
Minneapolis
is
leading
the
way
in
the
state.
With
this
topic,
people
are
now
starting
to
look
at
us
and
coming
to
us
and
saying,
can
you
come
and
talk
to
us
about
this
program
that
you're
in
and
hopefully
that
it
will
expand
out
throughout
the
states?
D
It's
a
good
sign
that
we're
on
the
front
end
of
this
and
people
are
coming
to
us
and
asking
us.
How
are
we
doing
it
so
I
think
right
now,
it's
being
used
as
a
big
success
and
moving
into
next
year,
we've
already
started
the
discussions
of
sustainability
of
the
program
in
making
it
just
part
of
the
culture
of
the
MPD.
D
Moving
forward,
we've
discussed
how
we're
going
to
implement
it
into
the
recruit
training
from
day
one
when
they
start
coming
through
the
recruiter
academy,
and
it
also
gives
chief
harteau,
who
has
taken
it
upon
herself
to
talk
to
every
incoming
member
of
coming
into
the
department
having
those
discussions
with
them
in
those
meetings
with
the
incoming
officers.
So
we're.
D
D
D
We
are
the
last
three
weeks
we
have
seen
the
dial
start
to
reverse
itself
a
little
bit,
and
hopefully,
some
of
the
things
that
we're
doing,
of
adding
the
extra
enforcement
in
the
4th
precinct
and
our
am
stat
medians
of
really
trying
to
come
together
as
command
staff
with
the
inspectors
and
trying
to
find
solutions
to
these
violent
crime
problems.
Last
week,
like
I,
said
this
with
this
week,
we're
up
five
point
one
percent.
Last
week
it
was
6.1
percent
in
the
week
before
a
six
point.
Nine
percent,
so
we've
seen
a
definite
turn.
D
D
E
E
D
D
F
Thank
You,
deputy
chief
and
I
just
saw
this
morning.
My
thing
isn't
the
4th
precinct
up
ten
percent,
though
that's
what
sticks
in
my
head,
you're.
F
D
F
F
It
is
very
dangerous
out
there
and
I,
don't
see
it
I,
don't
see
it
getting
better.
I,
really
don't
and
I
remain
really
concerned
about
this
I
think
it's
intolerable
for
a
community.
We
are
under
siege
these
people
that
are
shooting
at
each
other
and
dangerous.
All
of
us
all
of
us
can't
go
to
the
grocery
store
without
thinking
about
it.
Drive
down,
Broadway
put
yourself
at
risk.
F
Lots
and
lots
of
businesses
along
Broadway
have
been
targeted.
The
school
district
building
dimensions
in
here.
So
some
of
you
think
twice
about
how
where
you
go
out
in
public
yeah,
it's
not
good
for
businesses.
It
was
with
Congressman
Ellison
at
Lowry
cafe
the
other
day.
Last
week
you
know
we
were
20
feet
away
from
a
where
a
two-year-old
was
killed
and
another
child
injured.
F
F
D
It's
a
program
where
we
bring
our
identify.
These
groups
bring
them
in
with
community
partners,
law
enforcement
partners.
Prosecution,
bring
a
whole
bunch
of
people
in
and
start
to.
Talk
to
these
folks
working
through
the
with
Mayor
hodges's
office.
On
this
also
bringing
folks
in
and
having
people
in
press,
one
that
that
this
type
of
activity
has
to
stop
and
it
will
stop
and
that
it
won't
be
tolerated
not
by
the
community
and
certainly
not
by
the
police
department
and
then.
B
D
D
And
stuff
will
help
them
to
try
to
get
themselves
out
of
that
lifestyle,
because
quite
honestly,
we
don't
want
them
in
that
lifestyle,
there's
great
minds
in
people
and
potential
in
these
folks
that
are
caught
up
in
this,
and
we
need
to
get
them
away
from
the
violence
and
move
them
into
being
productive
members
of
our
community.
So
we
want
to
help
these
folks
in
10.
They
don't
take
our
health
and.
D
The
wrong
way
or
the
right
way
they
want
to
go
the
wrong
way.
Then
we
will
bring
all
our
partners
in
the
law
enforcement
community
not
only
to
them
but
to
their
group
to
help
affect
change.
So
the
history
of
this
type
of
program
across
the
different
communities
in
the
in
the
country
has
been
a
pretty
good
success.
So
that's
why
chief
harteau
has
brought
this
to
Minneapolis
and
I'm
I'm
the
point
person
to
help
getting
the
implementation
here
in
Minneapolis.
D
A
And
is
that
was
that
going
on
in
Chicago
for
a
while,
and
it's.
D
Going
on
in
various
parts
of
Chicago
in
our
communities-
and
it's
been
turned
out
through
many
many
different
departments
and
cities
in
the
country
and
the
results
are
astounding:
it
goes
back
to
when
our
homicide
rates
really
spiked
up
towards
that
99
and
100,
and
we
had
the
heels
project
Minnesota
heels.
This
is
a
continuation
of
that
in
we're.
Also
in
this
discussion.
This
time
also
is
looking
at
also
making
this
part
of
just
the
way
we
do
business
moving
forward,
so
that
when
we
see
success
we
don't
stop
it.
We
keep.
D
A
Well,
maybe
we'll
have
an
opportunity
to
get
more
of
a
presentation
on
ceasefire
in
the
future
sometime
when
it
started
to
be
implemented.
I
just
wanted
to
note
that
I'm
shocked
when
I
look
at
some
of
the
statistics,
and
one
of
the
most
disturbing
ones
for
me
has
been
the
number
of
victims
with
gunshot
wound
increased
dramatically
citywide.
A
I
think
it's
up
twenty
six
percent
from
a
year
ago
and
almost
40%,
or
at
least
between
thirty
and
forty
percent
from
two
years
ago,
but
then,
when
you
look
at
it
by
precinct
precinct
basis-
and
this
is
in
the
4th
precinct-
it's
up
over
forty
percent
if
just
from
last
year.
So
even
though
our
the
homicides
and
every
homicide
is
terrible,
but
it's
about
flat
or
you
know
we're.
F
A
D
A
A
A
A
E
A
E
Mr.
chair,
it
could
be
interrupting
your
own
thought
I'm
trying
to
do
that,
but
I
was
looking
at
the
2015
year-end
report
and
a
lot
of
that
was
2016
looking
forward.
What's
out
there
and
a
couple
things
that
have
been
touched
on,
you
mentioned
staffing
earlier
I
think
one
of
the
things
we
could
use
a
little
more
information
about,
because
I
think
it's
a
good
stories
about
CSO
class.
If
you
could
talk
about
that
and
then
I
have
a
couple
other
things
afternoon,
Emily.
C
Comes
from
member
Quincy
source
ESL
class,
we
hire
in
January,
we
start
them
every
January.
So
right
now
we're
actually
backgrounding
approximately
60
candidates
for
CSO,
so
they
can
start
in
January,
that's
very
strategically
done
so
it
lines
up
with
their
school
year.
At
all
times
we
want
to
have
approximately
30.
Cso
is
working
for
us
because,
for
instance,
in
this
recruit
class
I
talked
about
that's
going
to
happen
in
a
week,
we're
promoting
14
CSOs
to
the
position
of
recruit.
These
are
all
people
we
vetted
for
the
last
year
to
two
years.
F
C
E
I
just
love
that
entire
program,
it's
a
real
good
hiring
strategy
for
the
city,
their
local.
They
represent
the
community
that
they're
about
to
serve,
and
it's
a
perfect
thing,
and
so
I
wanted
to
highlight
that
the
other
thing
you've
mentioned
earlier,
which
I
appreciate
it
was
the
crisis,
intervention,
training,
CIT
it's
on
track
and
doing
well
and
as
well
as
the
implicit
bias,
training
and
procedural
justice
that
you
just
mentioned.
You
see
folks,
the
other
one
is.
The
early
intervention
system
was
on
the
list.
I
want.
E
C
And
thank
you
for
bringing
up
the
EAS
program.
That's
that's
one
that
again
we
could
talk
a
long
time
about
so
the
EAS
program
is
up
and
we're
actually
going
to
be
promoting
a
a
person
to
the
rank
of
lieutenant
to
start
handling
that
effective,
August
seventh,
so
they
will
be
in
place
in
there.
We
also
received
an
overwhelming
number
of
applicants
to
the
point
where
I
was
asked:
do
you
want
to
extend
it?
A
week
we
had
67
qualified
applicants
apply
to
be
our
sub
one
of
our
civilian
coordinators.

For
that
position
it
said
no,
it
would
get
sick,
that's
more!
Let's
get
this
going,
so
we
are
on
track
to
have
that.
Basically,
once
the
lieutenant's
in
place,
they're
going
to
be
able
to
start
immediately
and
they're
going
to
get
the
the
software
program
that
we've
been
talking
about,
but
they
can
manually
go
in
and
start
that
program
immediately,
so
August
August
seventh
is
a
promotion.
Dipp,
that's
a
sunday
august
eight!
This
is
going
to
get
going
so
where
we've
got
that
up
and
going.

You
mr.
chair
I
just
want
to
give
a
compliment.
I
met,
one
of
the
CSO's
is
going
to
start
this
recruit
class
on
the
night
of
the
opportunity
of
great
he
stopped
my
car,
but
anyway
it
was
lovely
and
man
and
he
is
very
excited
about
starting
the
recruit
class
and
he's
been
a
CEO,
so
I
think
several
years.
So
that's
great
great
program
we're.
A
Okay
with
just
a
traffic
okay,
I
see
so
I
had
two
little
questions
and
you
might
not
have
the
answer
for
this,
but
what
we
are
we
always
wondering
about
is
the
makeup
of
the
police
depart
when
you
talk
about
the
new
officers
in
CSO.
So
do
we
have
a
any
tracking
in
terms
of
the
racial
gender
break
up
or
breakdown
of
the
officers.
C
A
I
knew
when
you
mentioned
people
who
are
separating
from
so
you're
leaving
the
city.
We
were
noticing
that,
and
some
of
the
research
that
was
being
done
is
even
as
were
we
we're
hiring
more
diversity.
Then,
if
we're
not
watching
what
diversity
we're
losing,
it
ends
up
we're
not
necessarily
making
much
ground
or
not.
My
second
question
had
to
do
with
any
incentives.
We
might
have
four
officers
who
choose
to
live
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
A
C
Not
aware
we
used
to
have
the
program
where
houses
would
be
offered
up
at
it
almost
like
an
interest-free
loan
rate.
I.
Remember
that,
but
I
haven't
heard
of
that
program
in
quite
a
while.
I
am
unaware
of
any
incentives
for
living
in
the
city
and
I
think
that
would
almost
have
to
be
a
citywide
program,
one
of
the
problems
being
that
that
could
potentially
be
a
contractual
issue.
If
you
are
able
to
compensate
one
member
of
the
bargaining
group
more
than
the
other,
but
something
certainly,
we
could
look
into
and
figure
out.
