Description
Minneapolis Public Safety & Emergency Management Committee Meeting
A
All
right
good
afternoon,
everybody
today
is
April
19th
2018,
and
this
is
the
regularly
scheduled
meeting
of
the
public
safety
and
emergency
management
committee.
I
am
joined
by
council
members,
Andrea
Jenkins,
esti,
Fletcher,
Philippe,
Cunningham
and
Loni
Palmisano.
My
name
is
Alona
Cano
and
I'm.
The
chair
of
the
committee
today
on
our
agenda.
We
have
a
public
hearing
and
then
we
have
1
2
3.
A
14
items
for
consent
and
three
items
for
discussion
so
before
we
get
into
our
public
hearing,
I
would
like
to
see
if
there's
any
questions
on
the
agenda
and
on
the
consent
items
specifically
and
please
note
I'm
not
using
speaker
management,
I'll,
be
looking
for
your
little
red
tags
for
any
questions
or
or
issues
come
Simona
Palmisano,
oh
okay,
all
right!
So
with
no
questions
on
the
consent
items
I
will
go
ahead
and
approve
those
items.
B
I
think
it's
important
for
us
as
a
policymaking
body
to
move
away
from
relying
on
by
back
for
a
critical
public
safety
work
and
also
it's
a
centralized
control
and
democratic
decision-making
bodies
of
where
police
were
deployed.
So
I
think
that's
going
to
be
a
longer-term
project.
So
we'll
leave
this
on
consent
for
today
to
keep
things
moving.
But
I
just
wanted
to
comment
that
I
think
this
is
an
item
that
we're
going
to
see
coming
through
and
until
we
do
something
to
sort
of
refocus
the
way
we're
thinking
about.
By
back.
A
Thank
you
for
that
comment.
So
without
further
questions,
then,
on
this
agenda
we
will
go
ahead
and
approve
the
consent,
items
and
move
this
forward.
All
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
all
right
and
now
we
will
move
to
the
public
hearing
for
the
reappointment
of
our
fire
chief
and
before
we
get
started.
We
have
our
mayor
joining
us
today
so
mayor.
If
you
would
like
to
share
some
words.
Thank.
C
You,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
so
much
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
prior
to
the
public
hearing
as
I
have
another
engagement,
but
this
one
was
absolutely
critical
for
me
to
be
able
to
speak
on
behalf
of
our
extraordinary
chief
Friedel.
You
know
the
the
fire
department
as
a
whole
and
the
employees
within
the
fire
department,
both
rank-and-file
as
well
as
administration,
are
probably
the
most
loved
entity,
I
think
in
our
entire
city.
Right
now,
and
it's
due.
It
is
due
to
the
work
of
individuals
sitting
in
this
row
right
here.
C
It
is
due
to
our
chief.
It
is
due
to
the
rank-and-file,
the
the
community
work
and
the
work
that
you've
done
to
save
people's
lives.
Quite
literally
has
has
benefited
our
city
in
in
a
really
extraordinary
way.
You
know
from
the
35w
bridge
collapse
and
to
the
2011
Northside
tornado
to
the
explosion
of
the
Minnehaha
Academy
chief
Friedel
has
been
there
for
many
a
pelisses.
C
He's
recognized
that
for
the
department
to
be
more
effective,
its
composition
should
reflect
the
community
that
they're
serving
so
he
did
something
about
it.
Under
the
Chiefs
leadership,
the
fire
department
launched
the
emergency
medical
services
EMS
pathways
program
to
help
reach
more
young
people,
including
students
of
color.
Every
cadet
class
now
includes
30%
from
the
EMS
pathways
Academy,
where
graduates
receive
emergency
medical
technician.
Certification
is
part
of
a
paid
program.
He
launched
that
program
back
in
2014
and
it's
even
stronger.
Today,
the
current
cadet
class
is
52%
people
of
color
and
15.8%
female.
C
Another
50%
of
he's
also
helped
make
sure
Minneapolis
is
at
the
forefront
of
the
fight
to
protect
our
firefighters,
health,
which
is
extremely
important.
The
department
was
early
to
recognize
that
the
carcinogens
clinging
to
a
firefighters
gear
is
a
risk,
so
we
made
investments
in
new
technology
and
training
techniques
to
keep
their
gear
clean
seems
like
a
little
thing,
but
when
we're
talking
about
cancer,
it's
not
the
chief
has
been
with
the
department,
since
1979
he's
done
it
all
over
the
last
40
years.
C
Literally,
all
of
it
he's
been
a
firefighter
fire
captain
battalion
chief
duty,
deputy
chief
and
deputy
chief
of
training
assistant
chief
of
operations.
That's
a
mouthful,
but
it
is
a
he's
been
worth
it
and
when
you
hear
and
when
you
hear
the
way
he
talks
about
Minneapolis
about
his
job,
it's
clear.
He
loves
his
work
at
this
in
the
city
and
well,
chief,
the
city
loves
you
back.
There's
nobody
I'd
rather
have
in
my
corner
than
chief
Friedel
I'm,
proud
to
appoint
him
and
I
would
ask
for
your
support.
A
A
D
On
behalf
of
myself
and
the
also
secretary
my
UPS
fibers,
okay
I
would
we
support
the
reappointment
of
john
frieda
as
chief
of
the
department
we
look
at
his
accomplishments
and
we
also
look
at
what
some
of
the
things
he's
looking
at
as
far
as
moving
forward,
and
we
also
support
that
one
of
our
our
own
Brian
Turner
assistant
chief
of
administration,
also
has
a
leg
up
in
a
few
sure.
Yes,
consideration
of
chief
in
the
department.
D
We,
we
have
gone
through
a
lot
and
John
came
in
here
and
cleaned
up
a
lot
of
stuff
and
we're
very
appreciative
that
and
I
would
also
for
the
record,
like
everybody
know
that
the
pathways
program
was
also
contract,
language
with
the
amplifiers
all
the
way
to,
and
we
also
put
invested
a
lot
of
effort
into
that,
and
we
just
would
like
to
have
announcement
on
that.
Also
with
with
John
is
reappointment.
D
We
continue
to
provide
a
great
service
Minneapolis
and
we
do
so
across
the
board
and
I
also
with
knowledge
Audrey
Jenkins
years
ago,
and
you
guys
don't
know
this.
She
participated
in
our
first
fighter,
101,
ops
and
I.
Remember
that
day
when
you
were
there
and
so
this
junior,
so
thank
you
for
being
there
and
we've
we've
been
approached
to
do
that
again
with
the
new
council
members
and
well,
hopefully
we
can
work
something
out
in
the
fall
oh
this
year.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
for
that
testimony.
Do
we
have
any
other
folks
that
would
like
to
come
up
and
be
a
part
of
this
public
hearing
without
any
more
folks
here
to
to
speak
on
this
item?
I
will
go
ahead
and
move
this
reappointment
forward.
Thank
you.
It's
been
it's
hard
to
kind
of
catch.
The
the
little
little
tablet
so
council
member
affiliate,
cutting
him.
E
Thank
You
chair
Cano
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
quick
moment
before
we
move
forward
to
speak
in
favor
of
the
reappointment
of
fire
chief
john
Friedel
I
was
when
I
was
working
in
the
mayor's
office.
I
discovered
that
chief
Friedel
was
doing
big
things
and
successfully
creating
pathway
programs
for
young
people
and
that
his
work
had
helped
to
produce
one
of
the
most
diversified
firefighting
forces
in
the
country.
I
feel
he
gets
it
in
a
very
rare
way.
E
It
being
understanding
how
racial
equity
fits
into
all
of
what
the
city
enterprise
does
fiscal
responsibility,
innovative,
creative
forward-thinking
and
addressing
the
silver
tsunami
by
bringing
in
a
diverse
workforce.
All
combined
I
support,
Friel's
vision
of
revolutionising
the
field
of
firefighting
by
taking
the
reality
that
firefighters
aren't
just
fighting
fires
anymore,
but
instead
are
largely
responding
to
9-1-1
health
calls
and
providing
emergency.
Medical
care.
E
Chief
has
created
multiple
entry
points
for
young
folks
from
low-income
backgrounds,
in
particular,
to
join
his
work
force
through
the
EMS
pro
ems
pathways
programs
for
18
to
24,
year
olds
and
the
high
school
fire
explode,
explorers
and
EMS
paths
or
programs.
So
we
have
a
great
leader
in
chief
Friedel
and
I,
look
forward
to
supporting
him
with
all
of
his
efforts
and
creating
an
ecosystem
in
Minneapolis
that
provides
top
quality
care,
while
during
emergencies,
while
also
bringing
in
marginalized
folks
from
our
community
to
be
able
to
serve
our
community.
B
Think
you,
madam
chair,
I,
also
want
to
speak
in
favor.
I've
appreciated
chief
Friedel's
work,
particularly
on
thinking
about
how
do
we
respond
with
the
right
workforce
and
with
the
right
equipment
to
the
right
calls
and
I
think
that
that
kind
of
thinking
about
how
do
we
not
send
a
huge
truck
to
every
9-1-1
distress?
Call
that's
a
that's
a
health
emergency.
How
do
we
start
to
think
about
how
to
be
smarter
with
our
resources
and
and
really
think
about
what
the
future
of
this
department
should?
B
Thinking
I'll
just
say
on
the
campaign
trail
I
got
a
chance
to
talk
to
thousands
of
people
about
what
they
were
concerned
about
about
the
city
and
nobody
ever
brought
up
the
fire
department
and
that's
actually
a
testament
to
the
very,
very
good
work
this
fire
department
does
and
the
fact
that
we
all
assume
and
have
been
given,
no
reason
not
to
assume
that
when
we
call
9-1-1-
and
we
have
an
emergency
on
those
rare
occasions
that
we
do-
that
we're
going
to
get
a
great
response.
So
I
appreciate
that
leadership.
B
A
F
Know
I
guess
I
would
just
comment
that
to
to
you,
my
colleagues
to
please
go
on
the
fire
training
course.
It
is
extremely
fun
and
it
gives
you
a
sense
of
the
the
the
dedication
and
the
hard
work
that
our
firefighters
put
in
every
day
and
I
support
the
department
wholly
and
chief
Friedel
as
its
leader
and
we'll
be
voting
in
favor.
His
reappointment.
A
So
thank
you
so
much
for
your
work
on
that
front.
So
before
we
accept
this
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
close
the
public
hearing
and
then
move
it
forward
for
approval
to
be
sent
to
our
City
Council.
So
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye,
aye
and
now
I
will
invite
the
fire
chief
to
please
assure
a
couple
of
words
with
us.
G
Madam
chair
committee,
members,
thank
you
very
much.
The
opportunity
I
certainly
want
to
start
by
thanking
mayor
fry
for
bringing
my
name
forward
for
reappointment.
It's
a
fire
chief
or
something
that
I
take
a
lot
of
pride
in.
Excuse
me
all
the
success
that
we've
had
over
the
last
few
years,
quite
frankly,
couldn't
have
happened
without
the
support
of
my
staff
and
certainly
the
support
of
local
82
that
are
here
today
and
in
also
charles
rucker
from
the
FM
area,
firefighters,
Association.
G
We
have
all
worked
very
hard
to
try
to
move
that
rock
forward
and
sometimes
that
rock
gets
stuck
in
wet
sand
and
it's
very
difficult
to
push,
and
so
you
can't
push
it
alone,
but
together
we
can
it's
amazing
what
we
can
all
do,
and
you
know
we
look
forward
to
the
next
term
if
I
have
that
you
so
privileged
to
be
reappointed,
that
we
continue
the
fine
work
that
we've
done
and
maybe
complete
some
of
those
tasks.
I
know
going
forward.
It's
gonna
be
my
focus
over
my
next
period.
G
In
my
short
term,
I've
even
talked
about
with
with
mayor
Frey
about
really
developing
the
next
leader
for
this
department.
That
is
gonna,
be
him
a
goal.
So
when
we
have
a
list
of
names
that
are
going
to
be
so
qualified
to
step
up,
be
chief
I
know
others
who
may
be
interested
in
this
position
that
they're
prepared
to
step
up.
So
we
can
continue
to
find
tradition
that
this
department
has
and
has
had
over
the
years
and
provide
the
same
quality
of
service
set
and
I
think
this
city
deserves
so
again
I.
G
G
The
road
I
think
it's
something
I
really
really
like
today,
when
I
I
know
I'm
gonna
be
graduating
a
cadet
class
here
in
June,
and
there
are
members
from
the
MS
Academy
in
that
group,
and
it
just
makes
you
very
proud
to
see
what
those
young
men
and
women
have
achieved
and
I
think
they've
probably
achieved
something
and
they
never
thought
they
could.
And
so
it's
it's
really
nice
bill
to
create
that
opportunity
for
them.
Thank.
A
H
Okay,
madam
chair
committee,
members
commander
Chris
Granger
from
the
NPD
today
presenting
a
20-18
quarter,
worn
body
more
camera
metrics
today,
I'd
like
to
touch
on
the
policy
revision
in
the
training
plan
that
we're
gonna
roll
out
here,
give
you
a
little
update
on
our
two
body,
worn
camera.
Auditors
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
supervisor
auditing
program,
we're
gonna,
be
rolling
out
and
then
touch
on
2018
quarter,
one
body,
worn
camera,
metrics,
department-wide
metrics
and
then
also
the
results
from
a
random
sample
qualitative
review.
H
The
revised
policy
when
is
complete
in
was
effective
on
for
for
18
I
was
emailed
to
every
MPD
employee
and
then
also
the
discipline
matrix
was
revised
and
that
was
also
implemented.
Roll
call
training
is
in
process,
there's
a
training
document
being
created
with
talking
point
state
supervisors
and
conducting
the
training.
Each
employee
who
receives
the
training,
will
be
documented
on
a
training
log
and
we're
expecting
to
roll
this
out
by
the
end
of
the
month.
H
Our
second
body,
worn
camera
auditor,
began
work
on
April
9th
and
both
auditors
are
continuing
with
their
training
on
our
various
databases,
policies
and
procedure,
and
also
procedures
for
conducting
body,
worn
camera
audits,
supervisor
auditing.
This
is
a
program
that
we've
provided
training
to
patrol
supervisors
at
the
rank
of
sergeant
to
conduct
reviews
using
manual
techniques
in
the
body,
worn
camera
database.
H
At
this
time,
dashboards
will
be
developed,
but
not
at
this
moment
supervisors
where
we
will
be
reviewing
body,
weren't,
camera
videos
and
uses
data
for
their
assigned
personnel
monthly
for
policy
compliant,
whether
that's
the
body,
worn
camera
policy,
your
other
MPD
policies
or
for
performance
issues
related
to
you
know
the
love
of
professionalism
you
know
carrying
out
their
duty
is
consistent
with
current
law
in
looking
also
for
training
issues
as
well.
These
reviews
are
going
to
provide
supervisors
with
an
opportunity
to
be
proactive
in
addressing
issues
with
their
staffs.
H
H
Quarter,
one
body
worn
camera
metrics,
department-wide
January.
We
recorded
42,000
videos
with
an
average
of
1355
per
day
February,
we
recorded
39,000
749
body,
worn
camera
videos
with
an
average
of
1420
per
day
and
in
March
50
1968
body,
worn
camera
videos
were
recorded
with
an
average
of
16
or
1676
videos
per
day.
H
The
percentage
of
body
weren't
camera
videos,
without
correctly
formatted
case
numbers,
was
that
twenty
seven
point
six
percent
for
quarter
one
and
my
last
presentation
last
month.
That
number
was
right
around
thirty,
but
the
percentage
of
body
worn
camera
videos
without
correctly
formatted
case
numbers
was
at
five
point:
nine
percent
for
the
week
of
April.
Fourth,
through
April
11th
following
the
recent
policy
revisions,
so
we
saw
a
considerable
or
significant
improvement
there.
H
The
next
slides
represent
a
comparison
by
percentage
of
the
overall
or
specific
hat

that
required
activation
of
a

and
the
individual
officers
were
equipped
with

Camera
who
responded
to
the
call.
This
percentage
does
not
include
events
where
the
officer
canceled
off
the
event
before
arriving
and
the
percentages
are
by
month,
so
overall
cat
events
that
required
activation
where
officers
responded,
who
were
equipped
with
body
weren't
cameras,
as
from
April
1st
to
April
15th.
H
That
percentage
was
81
percent,
significant
improvement
from
March,
which
was
at
sixty
in
February,
which
is
at
55,
and
this
is
for
overall
cat
events
when
looking
at
traffic
law
enforcement
and
officers
equipped
with
body-worn
cameras
who
conducted
these
traffic
stops
April
1st
to
the
15th.
The
percentage
is
at
90%
and
in
March
72
percent
in
February
70
percent.
Another
improvement
suspicious
person
calls
an
officer's
equipped
with
body,
worn
cameras,
percentage
April
1st
the
15th
was
82
percent
in
March
it
was
62
percent
in
February,
57,
57
percent,
another
improvement
and,
lastly,
unknown
trouble.
H
Calls
and
officers
equipped
with
body
worn
cameras,
April
1st
at
the
15th
79
percent
March
of
this
year,
58
percent
in
February,
49
%,
is
also
part
of
the
audit.
We
also
conducted
a
random
sample
of
25
officers
from
quarter
1
of
this
year.
The
random
sample
from
all
the
precincts
included,
a
total
of
25
officers
equipped
with
body
worn
cameras
were
primarily
911,
1
responders
from
January
1st
March
31st,
a
random
sample
of
10
body,
worn
camera
videos
were
selected
per
officer
for
qualitative
review.
The
metrics
used
were
was
their
full
30-second
pre
event.
H
Recording
did
activation
at
the
conclusion
of
the
call
appear
to
be
appropriate.
Was
there
a
proper
case
number
entered
and
was
there
category
entered,
and
here
are
the
results,
we're
still
learning
in
our
auditing
efforts.
In
our
data
poll
there
were
36
videos
that
were
actually
startups
that
were
included
in
their
random
videos,
but
we
did
review
214
videos
and
basically,
the
numbers
from
quarter
four
compared
to
quarter.
One
basically
remain
the
same.
H
Okay
patterns
observed
there.
We
still
continued
to
see
a
lack
of
case
numbers
for
body
wear
camera
videos,
late
activations
were
observed,
were
officers
activated,
their
body
weren't
cameras
upon
arrival
or
after
arriving
on
a
call.
Some
officers
were
improperly
turning
off
their
body,
worn
cameras
when
the
scene
was
called
for,
but
before
the
conclusion
of
the
call
and
a
lack
of
narration
on
body,
worn
cameras
for
deactivation
for
deactivation
reason
was
observed,
and
most
of
these
instances
are
covered
by
the
policy
revision
either
was
clarified
or
added,
except.
H
We're
in
the
prop
we're
in
the
final
stages
of
developing
a
dashboard
that
will
be
accessible
to
the
public
on
the
inside
MPD
website.
The
site
will
be
accessible
by
tablet
and
cell
phone.
A
list
of
frequently
asked
questions
is
being
developed
to
add
to
the
site.
The
dashboard
will
be
interactive,
given
the
period
of
time
selected
for
view.
H
It
will
feature
a
link
to
the
body-worn
camera
policy
and
to
the
body
worn
cameras,
state
statute,
the
metrics
on
the
dashboard
will
include
the
body
worn
camera
count,
which
is
the
number
of
body
worn
cameras
assigned
to
the
MPD
there's
assigned
to
MPD
personnel.
Total
video
recorded
since
January
1
2017
there'll
be
a
metric
for
active
evidence
which
is
video
currently
stored.
H
Worn
camera
who
arrived
at
the
incident
and
then
also
plotted
on
this
graph
are
the
first
policy
revision
from
July
of
2017
and
also
the
issuance
of
a
administrative
announcement
requiring
case
numbers
for
body
mark
camera
videos
from
March
of
this
year
and
lastly,
the
body
marked
camera
policy
revision
from
April
this
year
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
we've
noted
each
time
a
policy
change
was
made.
There
was
an
improvement
in
compliance.
H
Here's
a
screenshot
of
what
the
dashboard
could
look
like
and
again
that
the
graph
here
is
where
the
policy
revisions
and
the
administrative
announcements
are
plotted
and
then,
lastly,
the
findings
of
the
Saadat
will
be
provided
to
precinct
commanders
as
soon
as
possible.
So
they
can
take
action
to
improve
compliance.
H
A
E
You
so
much
for
that
presentation.
I
know
we're
here
to
talk
about
the
body.
The
the
metrics
report
and
I
really
appreciate
this
update.
Can
I
ask
you
a
policy
question
about
it.
Okay,
I
was
just
curious
as
to
whether
or
not
there
has
been
any
conversation
around
domestic
violence
calls
and
whether
or
not
the
body
worn
cameras
are
activated
or
not.
During
those
calls
have
there
been
any
specific
conversations
around
that
well.
H
I
So
that's
great.
It
was
important
and
valuable
to
show
that
you
have
a
training
and
implementation
plan.
That's
already
in
progress
I.
We
see
the
supervisory
role
that
we
suggested
here,
while
I
wish
that
some
of
that
were
more
automated
for
those
supervisors.
I
know
that
that's
something
that's
manual
right
now,
but
we'll
look
at
getting
there.
I
The
analysts
and
infrastructure
to
assist
with
this
labor
intensive
program
are
in
place.
You
showed
that
the
transparency
or
the
the
public
dashboard,
that's
being
prepared
per
your
plans
outlined
here,
look
good
I
would
I
will
always
tend
to
argue
that
the
number
of
videos
and
the
number
of
hours
captured
are
less
valuable
to
know.
Then
then,
some
more
meaningful,
metrics
and
I'll
think
about
what
those
might
be
and
I
think
we
should
welcome
those
ideas
from
the
public,
but
this
is
a
good
start.
I
E
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
for
this
report.
I
was
certainly
vocal
about
not
feeling
like
what
we
were
getting
a
couple
of
months
ago.
So
I
wanted
to
also
be
vocal
about
thanking
you
for
something
that
feels
very
responsive
to
the
feedback
you
got
from
this
committee.
I
think
this
is
a
marked
improvement
and
I
think
we
can
move
from
talking
about.
B
Are
we
getting
the
information
that
we
need
to
make
an
assessment
of
this
program
to
actually
talking
about
the
program,
which
is
a
significant
step
forward?
So
I
think
that's
that's
great
and
I'm,
encouraged
by
the
improved
results
that
we
saw
since
the
policy
rollout
I
hope
that's,
not
a
short-term
bump,
while
everybody's
talking
about
it
I
hope
we
can
sustain
that
and
NC
continue
to
improve
compliance
and
I'm.
B
A
Do
have
one
question:
if
you
could,
please
explain
a
little
bit
more
about
the
lack
of
narration
piece
that
I
noticed
in
one
of
the
slides
I'd
like
to
better
understand
what
are
we
asking
officers
to
do
through
the
narration?
What
kinds
of
information
are
we
hoping
to
capture
when
in
the
process
does
that
happen,
and
and
then
why
do
you
think
it's
not
happening
and
kind
of?
What
are
we
doing
to
correct
that
part
of
it?
Well,.
H
To
start
with,
what
we
require
is,
if
you're
going
to
deactivate
your
body
more
camera
video
prematurely,
we
expect
people
to
narrate
the
reason
why
and
then
that
narration.
For
that
reason,
why
I
must
also
be
documented
in
either
the
CAD
computer-aided
dispatch
at
a
remarks
or
a
police
report,
and
we
really
want
to
know
why
the
cameras
are
being
turned
off
early.
You
know,
and
to
be
able
to
evaluate
that.
H
We
did
see
that
in
the
random
sample
of
officers
that
was
conducted
and
I
can't
really
speculate
as
to
why
that's
occurring
what
I
can
tell
you
is
it's
something
that
we're
gonna
be
auditing
going
forward?
We're
gonna
be
specifically
looking
for
that,
both
in
the
video
and
in
the
police
reports
or
the
add
of
marks
to
make
sure
that
that
is
occurring.
The
only
thing
I
would
add
to
that
is
that
that
requires
more
of
a
qualitative
review,
which
is
more
labor-intensive
time
intensive,
we're
gonna
do
it.
H
We
just
can't
reach
as
many
videos
at
this
time
as
much
as
we
can
do
with
quantitative,
but
we're
still
going
to
it's
something
we're
gonna
address.
We
know
that
it's
occurring
to
a
certain
extent
and
it's
required
by
policy,
so
we'll
address
it.
So
when
we
conduct
future
audits,
that's
something
we'll
continue.
Looking
for
and
again,
the
results
of
this
audit
will
be
shared
with
the
inspectors
or
the
precinct
commanders
so
that
they
can
address
the
issue.
So.
H
I
asked
the
auditors
to
review
the
videos
to
determine
if
the
deactivation
seemed
appropriate
and
one
of
the
things
that
they
noted
was
that
there
was
a
lack
of
narration
which
is
required
by
the
policy
so
we'll
forward
this
information
to
the
precinct
commanders
to
follow
up-
and
you
know,
find
out
what's
going
on
and
to
also
you
know,
I'll
provide
them
with
prepackaged
training
materials,
a
copy
of
the
policy,
whatever
it
takes
to
make
sure
that
they
understand
that
narration
is
required,
and
that
has
to
be
done.
Okay,.
A
Well,
thank
you
for
your
report.
I
concur
with
the
comments
that
have
been
shared
up
here
by
our
council
colleagues
and
we're
looking
forward
to
have
you
continue
to
support
to
strengthen
and
deepen
the
standing
of
this
program
with
an
MPD
and
hopefully
help
other
peer
cities,
use
body-worn
cameras
as
well
to
ensure
that
we're
having
the
intended
outcome
in
our
in
our
neighborhoods
and
with
our
residents.
So
I
appreciate
your
presentation
today
and
hope
you
have
a
good
day.
Thank
you,
alrighty,
wrapped
up.
A
We
have
wrapped
up
this
first
item
for
discussion,
so
we
will
go
ahead
and
receive
and
file
this
report,
all
those
an
approval
piece
say
aye
aye
and
we
will
move
forward
to
our
second
item,
which
is
the
City
Attorney's
Office
criminal
justice
reform
initiatives,
presentation
and
we
have
our
city
attorney
here-
Susan
Siegel-
to
walk
us
through
this.
So
take
it
away.
K
J
Afternoon
and
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
run
through
some
of
the
criminal
justice
reform
work
that
our
office
has
been
working
on
and
I've
got
with
me.
Mary
Ellen
hang
who's,
my
wonderful
deputy
and
head
of
the
criminal
division
and
then
Jennifer
Saunders,
who
was
our
third
Precinct
community
attorney
and
in
that
capacity
then
started
just
this
amazing
work
with
little
earth
that
has
now
resulted
in
an
$850,000
federal
grant
for
really
community
led
safety
strategies
at
Lilith
she's.
J
So
the
focus
of
our
recent
initiatives
has
really
been
on
four
different
things.
One
is
eliminating
criminal
consequences
for
people
because
they
just
don't
have
the
ability
to
pay
so
things
like
bail,
reform
fall
into
that
bucket
or
work
around
reforming
driving-related
tickets
and
fines
and
fees
falls
into
that
bucket.
Reducing
the
unnecessary
use
of
jail
and
Mary
Ellen
is
a
co-chair
with
representative
from
the
county
on
this
joint
city-county
effort
has
just
been
doing.
J
Terrific
work
third
is
to
reduce
collateral
consequences
of
the
impact
of
the
criminal
justice
system
on
people's
futures,
so
that
they're
not
barred
from
obtaining
housing
or
employment.
As
a
result,
then,
finally,
and
not
least,
importantly,
is
to
achieve
reductions
in
recidivism
and
really
by
addressing
underlying
needs.
This
provides
a
long
term
benefit
both
for
our
city,
our
communities,
our
neighborhoods,
as
well
as
for
the
individual.
J
We're
we're
really
operating
in
a
different
vein,
and
some
of
these
numbers
really
show
some
of
this
work.
Recent
reductions
in
bookings
in
the
jail,
for
example,
53
percent
reduction
and
we've
looked
at
our
caseload
numbers,
going
back
to
2008
about
10
years
ago
and
the
number
of
livability
offences.
These
would
be
the
broken
windows
theory
types
of
offenses
have
been
reduced
by
two-thirds
and
it
just
shows
our
model.
Now
is
really
one
of
Public
Health
using
social
services
using
outreach
workers
in
lieu
of
a
heavy
law
enforcement
approach.
J
Another
project-
and
it
really
is
again
Mary
Ellen
in
her
knowledge
of
the
system
and
just
common
sense
approach
to
criminal
justice
reform.
That's
led
to
another
innovation
that
the
court
is
now
rolling
out
countywide,
and
this
is,
as
they
were,
analyzing
data
from
the
jail.
They
realized
that
a
large
number
of
the
people
arrested
and
booked
into
jail
were
there
for
bench
warrants
and
bench
warrants
are
orders
issued
by
the
court,
because
somebody
did
not
appear
for
a
required
hearing,
and
so
it's
a
court
initiated
warrant
for
arrest.
J
They
found
a
few
things
which
actually
surprised
me
a
huge
number.
It's
close
to
70
percent
of
the
letters
sent
out
scheduling.
Court
hearings
were
returned
to
sender.
So
literally,
you
had
a
whole
lot
of
people
who
didn't
even
know
that
they
were
supposed
to
be
present
in
the
courthouse
and
this
one
solution
that
Mary
Ellen
came
up
with
was
sign
and
release
warrants
where
the
courts
enter
it
in
and
if
you
meet
the
criteria,
it's
your
first
time
not
appearing.
J
In
that
case,
it
gets
entered
into
a
database
so
that
when
the
police
see
these
people
out
in
the
community
instead
of
saying
AHA,
there's
an
active
bench
warrant
and
hauling
them
into
jail.
They're,
given
a
new
court
date
by
the
officer
right
they're
out
in
the
street
and
with
no
jail,
no
bail,
no
arrest,
no
interference
with
people's
lives
and
from
the
pilot.
J
A
really
high
rate
of
compliance,
68%
of
people
showed
up
for
their
hearings,
and
the
court
is
also
doing
things
like
trying
to
do
text
reminders
and
email
reminders
and
other
just
kind
of
simple
practical,
common-sense
ways
to
reduce
those
to
improve
appearances
in
court
and
reduce
this
whole
cycle
of
a
bench
warrant
arrest
in
the
same
bucket.
We
are
actively
lobbying
for
a
change
in
state
law,
so
that
driver's
licenses
are
no
longer
suspended
by
just
for
failure
to
pay
fines
and
fees.
J
It
gets
people
into
this
vicious
cycle
of
with
thousands
and
thousands
of
dollars
of
debt.
It
has
literally
sailed
through
the
house.
It
is
on
the
House
floor.
It
hasn't
been
brought
up
yet
we're
stuck
in
the
Senate,
so
we're
hoping
to
get
some
progress
there,
because
this
would
be
a
really
great
change,
statewide
to
stop
keeping
people
who
already
are
struggling
and
have
lower
incomes
from
just
falling
further
into
debt
for
no
good
reason,
and
it's
not
public
safety
related.
J
J
We'll
we'll
see,
we've
been
working
on
for
a
couple
of
years,
another
side
project,
but
one
I
think
that's
been
really
was
really
a
positive,
wonderful
day
and
I
think
improved
court
relations
with
the
community
was
a
warrant
forgiveness
days
that
we
worked
on
with
the
ACLU
and
the
Minneapolis
chapter
of
the
n-double
a-c-p,
the
courts
and
the
public
defender's
office.
This
one
was
held
at
siddhattha
knee
we
just
hadn't.
J
What
are
we
doing
around
reducing
collateral
consequences
were
beefing
up
our
diversion
efforts
and,
as
a
number
of
you
know,
we
were
able
to
implement
diversion
on
a
pre-charge
basis.
So
before
anything
gets
filed
with
the
court,
it
took
a
year-long
IT
project
because
of
these
citations
and
it
automatically
was
getting
filed
with
the
court.
Our
IT
department
and
the
county's
IT
department,
working
with
the
courts,
created
a
holding
tank
that
our
prosecutors
now
review
charges
if
they're
bad
charges
they
get
dismissed
for
charges
that
citations
that
our
court
required
citations.
J
That
is
something
there's
evidence
supported
by
evidence.
You
know
that
we
could
prove
beyond
a
reasonable
doubt
and
the
people
qualify
for
diversion
they're
offered
diversion
if
they
accept
it,
nothing
will
ever
get
no
charge,
will
ever
be
filed
with
the
court.
We've
also
expanded
the
types
of
programs
that
we
offer.
J
We
created
the
interact
program
for
misdemeanor
level,
obstruction
of
charge,
obstruction
of
justice
charges
which,
as
I
looked
at
those
cases
as
often
as
not
there
I
feel
like
Cool
Hand
Luke
here
that
their
failure
to
communicate
cases
and
there's
some
event
happening.
People
are
excited
disturbed
a
concern
for
whoever's
involved
in
the
incident.
J
For
example,
if
it's
a
medical
emergency-
and
you
know,
while
the
the
law
enforcement
is
there
trying
to
control
the
scene
and
handle
the
emergency
situation,
so
we
worked
with
the
police
department
and
in
lieu
of
taking
these
through
courts
or
a
criminal
prosecution
process.
Individuals
sit
down
with
a
representative
of
the
police
depart
was
a
facilitator
that
we
contract
with
restorative
justice,
community
action
to
talk
and
so
that
the
police
can
hear
the
individuals
viewpoint
what
they
were
trying
to
do
and
why
and
the
police
can
explain.
J
J
E
J
Is
correct
and
I
will
point
out
because
I
have
reviewed
it.
People
have
talked
about
the
Philadelphia
District
Attorney
and
the
new
policies
that
he
has
issued
for
the
cases
within
our
jurisdiction.
We
actually
are
doing
more
than
what
he
is
implemented
in
Philadelphia
I
love.
What
he's
doing
it's
not
to
criticize
him
at
all,
but
but
we're
already
we're
above
average.
This
is
what
I
would
say
in
terms
of
our
work,
because
we
now
offer
for
shoplifting.
You
know
pre
charge
diversion
yeah.
E
I,
this
is
a
just
to
share.
This
is
a
particular
pain
point
a
little
bit
for
me,
because
my
mother
struggled
with
addiction
and
shoplifting
is
actually
why
she
has
three
felonies
on
her
record,
because
in
Illinois
it's
three
hundred
dollars
before
it's
considered
a
felony,
and
so
when
I,
when
I
saw
this,
it
was
just
like
wow
that
could
have
radically
changed
my
life
as
the
child
of
somebody
who
was
incarcerated
a
few
times
and
so
I
just
I'm
really
grateful
for
all
the
work
that
you're
doing.
J
F
J
They're
there
and
I'm
not
sure
exactly
where
they
are
in
the
legislature
now,
but
but
there
have
been
bills.
The
second
session
at
least
introduced
to
increase
the
penalties
to
a
gross
misdemeanor,
I
think
from
a
misdemeanor
level,
offense
on
freeways
and
by
the
by
the
airport,
maybe
elsewhere,
it
would
still
malls.
F
J
It
would
still
leave
discretion
I'm,
assuming
if
it
passed
and
if
it
was
signed
into
law
by
the
governor
for
prosecutors,
to
decide
what
the
appropriate
consequence
was.
So
it's
a
little
different
than
how
we've
approached
that,
although
I
will
tell
you,
it
is
not
safe
for
people
to
go
walking
down
the
freeway
for
anybody.
So
it's
not
something
that
I
condone
at
all,
but
but
hopefully
we
would
still
retain
the
discretion.
It
wouldn't
be
a
mandatory
minimum
kind
of
thing
where
we
would
have
discretion
to
use
our
judgment
and
how
we
handle
different
incidents.
J
Right
that
that's
exactly
right,
because
this
this
is
a
separate
law,
misdemeanor
obstruction
of
justice
which
I
suppose
law
enforcement.
If
you're
ordering
people
to
leave-
and
they
don't-
you
know-
you
know
they
could
include
and
obstruct
a
charge
in
that
but
yeah
it
would
not,
and
we
would.
We
would
still
maintain
the
discretion
to
use
this
diversion
program.
Thank
you,
yep,
and
so
our
numbers
have
gone
up
and
we're
continuing
to
work
on
on
our
diversion
opportunities
and
then
the
downtown
100.
It's
not
a
new
program.
J
We've
had
it
for
well
started
it
in
2010,
but
we
continue
to
just
get
amazing
results
and
it's
proof
positive,
that
by
using
social
services
by
addressing
underlying
needs
that
we
really
do,
because
these
are
the
most
chronic
offenders
at
a
lower
level.
They're
they're
not
violent
felons,
but
we
only
have
them
on
the
list
for
a
year,
but
we
continue
to
see
ongoing
reductions
in
the
number
of
offenses
committed.
So
it's
validation.
It's
something
we
can
use
with
the
county
to
affirm
that
it's
a
good
use
of
probation
resources
for
them
community
court.
J
It's
to
connect
people
with
with
needed
services,
and
so
Mary
Ellen
again
in
partnership
with
Jeanette
Warner
at
the
Hennepin
County
public
defender's
office
talked
the
Hennepin
County
Human
Services
into
loaning,
a
social
worker
who
has
been
there
in
the
arraignment
calendar
and
we'll
go
up
and
offer
voluntary
services.
Individuals
and
it's
just
been
a
really
positive
change,
and
the
court
I
think
has
recently
agreed
we're
in
the
process
of
implementing
where
we
will
get
a
dedicated
calendar
on
Wednesday
afternoons
that
will
start
to
operate
like
a
real
community
court
with
a
dedicated
social
worker.
J
The
Bern
grant
I
mentioned
just
briefly,
but
it's
just
been
a
terrific
project.
I'm
really
impressed
with
Jennifer
Saunders,
who
just
kind
of
took
this
on
largely
wrote.
The
grant
herself
found
great
research
partners
and
it
really
is
a
community
led
process.
Little
earth
owns
all
of
the
data
that
the
researchers
pulled
together.
It's
not
the
researchers
property,
it's
not
anybody
else's
property,
and
it
really
is
just
a
community
lead
community-engaged
initiative
on
the
domestic
violence
front.
We
continue
to
innovate
and
try
to
move
upstream
there.
J
J
So
this
started
a
few
years
back
as
we
looked
at
our
carrying
a
pistol
without
a
permit
cases,
they
were
largely
young
adults,
almost
always
a
first
offense
at
the
adult
level,
and
we
wanted
to
know
is
this
a
high-risk
group,
and
maybe
they
just
need
some
training
on
how
to
go
about
getting
a
permit
to
carry,
because
it
is
legal
in
the
state
of
Minnesota
or
was
this
a
group?
Maybe
with
some
higher
needs
and
our
standard
sentence?
You
know
plea
deal
had
been
30
days
in
the
workhouse.
J
Sometimes
I
was
done
on
electric
home
monitoring.
We
got
a
conviction
and
that's
an
enhancer
Belov
n.
So
if
you
get
charged
again,
they
can
enhance
it
to
a
felony.
It's
like
you
know
good
for
us,
but
what
we
found
out
was
that
there's
a
high
rate
of
recidivism
and
not
just
to
caring,
but
not
an
insignificant
number
of
future
violent
felonies,
which
is
not
a
good
path
either
for
the
city
or
the
individual,
and
so
we
figured
somewhat.
J
Because
again
it's
it's
looking
at
what
do
these
individuals
in
need
needs
are
what
what
will
help
them
on
a
better
path
and
a
brighter
future?
Why
are
they
feeling
unsafe?
Why
do
they
feel
like
they
need
to
carry
a
weapon
so
with
that?
I
am
gonna
turn
it
over
to
Priscilla
Brown,
who
is
the
program
manager
for
us
and
she's
brought
along
some
people
who
have
been
involved
in
the
program.
L
So
the
the
remainder
of
those
are
actively
in
our
program.
The
program
consists
of
two
phases
and
and
first
we,
we
built
a
program
to
address
the
and
hoping
to
get
to
some
deeper
issues
around
those
things
that
were
impacting
the
individuals
that
that
are
referred
to
us.
So
our
training
is
built
on
a
cognitive
behavioral
model
and
the
entire
program
is
a
hundred
and
eight
hours
which
is
divided
into
two
phases.
Phase.
One
is
the
most
intensive.
L
The
individuals
are
there
for
12
weeks,
one
time
a
week
all
day
on
Thursday
from
10
o'clock
to
5
o'clock
and
in
that
five
and
a
half
hours
they're
doing
four
different
groups,
and
then
there
is
a
once
a
week
for
Phase
one
check-in
where
they're
working
with
a
staff
person
to
look
at
then
to
first
building.
That
relationship
give
an
additional
support
and
hopefully
opening
up
that
that
possibility
of
seeing
other
needs
that
we
can
help
address
for
for
that
individual.
L
Once
they
have
completed
the
first
12
weeks
phase
1,
then
they
move
into
phase
2,
which
most
of
we've
got
out
of
19
we've
got
13
now
that
are
in
phase
2
a
part
of
the
program
and
in
the
phase
2
part.
They
are
actually
coming
one
time
a
month
for
group
and
once
faced
face
to
face
check
in
with
with
the
staff.
L
With
that
said,
unless
there's
of
other
questions,
I
did
and
wanted
to
bring
three
of
all
those
that
are
involved
in
the
program
is
that
Inc
they
would
be
the
ones
that
would
be
able
to
speak
best
to
what
they
have
experienced
are
experiencing
and
what
they
are,
how
they're
benefiting
from
the
services.
So
if
there
is
questions
for
me,
I
can
take
those
now
and
then
I
would
like
to
have
the
three
that
I've
asked
to
come
today
to
speak
to
you.
Have
them
speak
on
their
own
behalf?.
M
For
them
is
are
keeping
a
positive
mindset
associating
yourself,
but
people
that's
doing
constructive
things.
Thinking
about
how
your
your
actions
and
your
decisions
affect
the
people
around
you
they've
been
real
resourceful.
They
assisted
me
in
finding
housing
and
furniture
all
that
good
stuff.
I
quit
drinking
since
I've
been
in
the
program
and
slowly
just
been.
N
Almost
close
to
the
whole
12
weeks
myself,
so
I
started
joining
the
biggest
thing
about
the
program
was
gave
me
an
opportunity
like
a
second
chance.
Yeah
currently
I
could
get
situation.
That
I
made
a
mistake
about
and
miss
Priscilla
I
was
doing
the
one
on
one
thing.
So
I
got
the
whole
anger
management
thing
tips
thing,
Obama,
went
and
helped
me
with
a
lot
of
stuff,
I'm
thinking
better
now,
I,
don't
think.
Wow
like
I
used
to
I
figured
out
that
I
didn't
have
a
little
anger
issues
and
I
had
I
didn't
believe.
N
O
You
spoke
earlier
about
what
kind
of
impact
it
would
have
had
on
your
life
if
your,
if
your
mother
would
have
had
an
opportunity
for
a
diversion
program
like
this
I
empathize
I'm
employed
in
a
in
a
position
of
trust-
and
this
program
has
allowed
me
to
keep
my
job
and
continue
to
pay
my
bills
keep
my
house
and
can
I
keep
people
live
moving
along.
It's
just
been
really
big.
It's
had
a
huge
impact
on
my
life
and
the
and
I
think
that
the
leadership
that
that
they
have
in
this
program
is
phenomenal.
O
They
really
address
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
important
important
issues
that
going
into
it
I
didn't
understand,
for
example,
one
of
the
things
that
they
do
very
well
is
they
they
provide
you
with
a
scenario,
but
you
necessary
said
they
say
this
is
happening.
What
do
you
do
and
people
give
their
answers?
Then
they
come
back
around
and
give
you
an
alternative
and
help
you
kind
of
work
through
some
of
the
emotions
that
you
might
have
been
feeling
when
you
made
that
decision
and
help
you
make
better
decisions
going
forward.
O
A
B
Work
and
I
think
it's
very
important
that
we
continue
to
say
out
loud
as
as
often
as
we
can
that
human
beings
and
cages
is
a
bug
not
a
feature
of
our
legal
system,
our
social
system,
and
that
is
something
that,
when
we
can
avoid
it,
it
is
something
that
that
we
want
to
avoid,
and
then
we
want
to
think
about
how
to
divert
and
how
to
solve
problems
without
getting
there,
and
so
I
really
appreciate
this
I
really
appreciate
this
work.
I'm
wondering.
B
J
J
There
is
a
distinction
and
we
use
at
times
for
people
who
are
chronic,
chronic,
chronic
chronic.
We
I'm
just
going
to
own
it
right
here.
We
use
the
criminal
justice
system
for
leverage
to
get
people
the
help
that
they
need,
whether
at
times
whether
they
really
want
it
or
not,
if
they're
offending
in
a
neighborhood
and
making
life
miserable
for
the
residents
of
that
neighborhood,
that's
not
good.
For
them.
It's
not
a
safe
lifestyle
to
be
out
on
the
streets
constantly
and
we've
seen
as
many
of
our
chronic
offenders.
J
J
But
we
had
we,
we
then
use
within
the
system.
Often
they
go
to
Holmes
Court,
which
is
designed
for
people
experiencing
homelessness
and
again
we
use
a
social
service,
Public
Health
type
of
model.
So
even
if
you
know
we
are
getting
these,
it
isn't
just
to
lock
them
up
in
the
workhouse
for
a
longer
period
of
time.
What
we
prefer
is
to
have
them
assigned
with
active
supervision
by
a
probation
officer,
because
that
small
segment
is
a
group
of
people
who
actually
have
high
needs.
J
They
are
high,
need
individuals
and
they
don't
function
very
well
left
on
their
own,
which
is
why
they
keep
getting
into
trouble,
and
so
we
we
merge
the
philosophies,
but
but
we
can
in
some
circumstances,
kind
of
amp
it
up
and
then
use
the
court
system.
But
there
are
a
lot
of
problem
solving
courts
that
we
then
utilize
when,
when
we're,
you
know
kind
of
in
that
little
bit
of
a
heavier
enforcement
mode
between
this
Holmes
court:
mental
health,
core
Veterans
Court.
J
J
Something
like
there
was
a
problem
in
was
outside
of
harbour
lights,
a
Salvation
Army,
and
there
was
a
drug
dealer
out
there
who
was
dealing
drugs
and
beat
up
Dominic
Bozek
was
working
then
as
a
staff
member
at
Harbor
lights,
and
you
know
what
that
individual
needed
some
consequences,
because
he
was
preying
on
people.
He
was
physically
harming
people.
J
So
occasionally
you
know
they're
they're,
the
softest
of
touches
doesn't
work
with
everybody,
but
but
we
do
try
to
move
forward
with
the
same
philosophy,
although
sometimes
it's
inside
the
Hennepin
County
Government
Center,
instead
of
entirely
outside,
does
that
help?
Okay
good
to
be?
No?
No,
it's
an
absolutely
it's
an
it's
an
ongoing
discussion.
I
would
say
our
attitudes
and
our
prosecutors
attitudes
have
changed,
and
the
police
department's
attitudes
have
changed.
I
mean
the
ones
sitting
there
like
no
I,
think
we
should
give
this
guy
one
more
chance.
J
A
A
You
know,
reports
and
numbers
that
we
see
up
here
and-
and
it's
really
special-
that
you're
you're
both
here
today
and
so
I,
wonder
if
you
could
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
what
ideas
you
might
have
for
the
future
of
the
program
in
terms
of
what
improvements
could
be
made,
what
additions?
You
know
what
things
we
could
add
to
the
initiatives
or
the
programs
that
you
think
would
bring
more
success.
A
We
know
that
as
a
council,
we
we
struggle
a
lot
with
some
of
the
issues
around
gun,
Buy
and
you
know,
over
the
years
we've
we've
had
to
witness
and
and
be
a
part
of
many
conversations
where
folks
are
feeling
really
challenged.
You
know
in
our
in
our
neighborhoods
and
a
lot
of
times.
We
think
what
else
can
we
do?
Besides?
Put
more
police
officers
in
the
neighborhoods,
you
know
what
are
some
other
ideas.
What
are
some
new
strategies?
What
are
some
community
driven
solutions
and
and
I
think
some
of
this
speaks
to
that.
A
We
as
a
council,
will
eventually
vote
on
the
budget,
and
so
those
are
resources
that
we
can
be
thinking
about
for
the
future
about
how
we
can
deepen
some
of
the
impact
engaged
more
young
people
reach
communities
that
sometimes
our
government
gives
up
on
or
our
own
families
give
up
on,
and
so
we're
just
trying
to
really.
You
know,
listen
to
folks
and
really
gather
input.
A
So
if
you've
got
suggestions
or
ideas,
I
hope
it's
not
too
early
on
I
lost
track
of
how
many
months
this
program
has
been
in
operation,
but
if
you're
thinking
about
kind
of
the
future
I'd
love
to
hear
some
of
your
thoughts
or
ideas,
or
even
just
you
know
some
early
thinking
about
it.
Some
reflections.
N
A
N
L
That
we
have-
I
know
I've
spoken
to
at
least
three
referrals,
in
fact,
one
even
this
morning
as
early
as
this
morning,
that
it
is
sometimes
a
struggle
because
we've
been
blessed
in
that
more
than
half
of
the
referrals
they
they
are
working
when
they
come
to
us,
and
so
that
becomes
a
huge
negotiation
factor
with
their
employer
to
be
able
to
take
that
whole
day
off.
And
so
we
do
as
much
as
we
can
to
support,
write
letters.
L
You
know
to
the
employer,
employer
self,
in
fact,
Richard
would
be
a
great
want
to
speak
to
that,
because
that
kind
of
delayed
his
start
like
two
or
three
weeks
negotiating
that
peace
with
his
employer.
One
of
the
things
that
is
the
program
manager
I
would
like
to
see
is
a
second
option
that
may
look
at
having
you
know.
The
program
ran
on
a
Saturday.
L
Unfortunately,
unfortunately,
evenings
won't
work
and
last
we
put
in
a
second
evening
because
it's
five
and
a
half
hours
and
who
you
know
you
can
start
realistically
until
about
six
o'clock,
who's
gonna
be
there
to
11:00
11:30,
no
one,
so
it
and
then
taking
a
you
know
having
another
evening
drawn
in.
So
as
we
designed
that
we
ended
up
with
the
one
full
day,
as
kind
of
you
know
where
you
know:
where
do
you
do?
Where
did
you
go
with
it
and
what
do
you
do
and
so
we're
there?
L
You
know
with
that
piece
and
the
other
piece
we've
looked
at
and
and
and
have
recently
changed
as
whether
they
move
from
phase
1
to
phase
2
phase
2
we're
looking
at
working
over
that
year
with
the
clients
more
on
a
more
gaining
more
social
skills,
like
financial
literacy
planning
for
the
future.
You
know
if
it's
employment,
if
it's
what
is,
in
other
words,
what
are
the
goals?
What
what?
L
What
is
a
goal
that
you
really
want
to
accomplish
over
the
next
year
or
two
so
and
phase
2
we're
looking
at
doing
more
of
that
type
of
work
with
the
with
the
clients,
because
the
phase,
one
as
I
said
it's
the
most
intense
and
we're,
and
it's
very
therapeutic
as
well
in
phase
one.
So
one
of
the
other
things
that
I've
talked
to
Susan
and
her
staff
about
too,
is
having
that
leverage
that
in
phase
one
when
we
see
that,
for
instance,
additional
services
like
therapy
would
be
beneficial
for
this.
L
This
person,
we
don't
really
have
the
leverage
to
say,
okay.
Well,
you
need
to
really
go
and
and
do
therapy
and
the
other
piece
of
that
who
pays
for
that.
You
know
so
if
those
are
the
kind
of
things
and
by
profession,
I'm
a
mental
health
professional,
because
the
marriage
of
family
therapy
is
my
background,
so
I'm
very
into
the
therapeutic
and
clinical
piece
of
you
know
those
needs
and
we're
always
trying
to
address
those
with
the
services
that
we
are
providing.
L
But
there
are,
there
are
some
that
would
really
benefit
from
their
diagnostic
assessment
evaluation
and
the
risk
assessment
that
we
give
them
would
benefit
from
having
additional
services
like
that,
and
how
would
we
be
able
to
institute
that
and,
like
I
said,
and
then
the
next
piece
of
that
is,
but
who
would
pay
for
that?
If,
if
there's,
no
insurance,
which
is
generally
the
case,
thank.
M
O
A
K
Thank
you
so
much
a
chair,
Cano
council
vice
president
Jenkins
and
council
members.
My
name
is
a
manager
far
I'm
the
director
of
the
office
of
police
conduct,
review
I'm
joined
today
with
a
legal
analyst,
Ryan,
Patrick
and
also
a
commissioner
vice
chair,
Jennie
singleton
is
here
and
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
her
involvement
in
this
as
we
go
along
I
think
it's
wonderful
that
we
had
this
opportunity
to
present
this
to
you
now
to
follow
up
our
last
month's
presentation
about
how
we
work
so
now.
K
You
can
actually
see
something
and
get
a
tangible
report
in
front
of
you,
so
you
can
understand
so.
First,
we
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
global
rights
for
women,
who
was
our
community
partner
in
this
study
and
I
know:
executive
director
Schell
Thomas
wanted
to
be
here
with
us,
but
she
was
unable
to
make
it.
K
So
we
wanted
to
start
off
with
what's
working,
it
was
a
really
kind
of
fortuitous
for
us
to
follow
Susan
Segal,
because
she
mentioned
the
hotspot
program
and
from
our
look
into
the
issue.
The
hotspot
program
is
working.
However,
it's
only
located
in
fourth
Precinct,
so
those
resources
and
availability
and
that
great
civilian
sworn
partnership
that
they
have
going
is
contained
for
now,
but
it
is
working,
but
still
in
a
pilot
format.
K
What
is
also
working
is
vest
and
prosecution
of
domestic
assault,
related
offenses,
so
domestic
violence,
unlike
some
of
the
other
lower
level
crimes
that
you're
hearing,
often
needs
swift
action
and
often
needs
documentation
and
we'll
talk
about
why
this
issue
can
can
get
troubling
on
both
side,
for
both
people
who
are
victims
and
both
people
who
are
alleged
abusers.
So
when
it
gets
through
the
system,
the
investigation
and
prosecution
and
is
is
actually
working.
There
are
both
advocates.
There
are
city,
attorneys
and
police
officers
involved
in
that
process,
and
their
rates
seem
very
consistent.
K
The
collaboration
between
groups,
like
the
domestic
violence
abuse
project,
is
one
that
is
working
and
Casa.
Esperanza
is
actually
in
the
third
precinct,
so
you
have
groups
that
are
housed
within
the
police
department
that
that
are
making
good
connections
and
are
able
to
give
the
police.
What
I
think
is
a
very
important
viewpoint,
which
is
a
civilian
vantage
point
to
help
them
improve
the
way
they're
doing
their
work.
So
with
that
positive
note,
we
want
to
kind
of
go
into,
maybe
what's
not
working.
So
how
do
we
get
there?
So,
like
I
mentioned
last
month?
K
It
really
takes
an
interest
of
a
commissioner
on
a
topic
to
move
forward.
So
what
happened
in
this
topic
was
that
the
random
case
audits
that
get
pulled
for
the
Commission
to
review.
We
had
to
come
up
in
a
row
that
were
domestic
assault,
complaints
where
someone
who
called
the
police
and
no
action
was
taken,
but
they
were
fairly
serious
incidents
and
both
of
them
involved
same-sex
couples.
K
So
the
red
flag,
kind
of
went
out
for
the
Commission,
in
particular
commissioner
singleton,
who
really
wanted
us
to
look
further
into
the
issue
and
I
know
that
the
report
is
it's.
You
know
pretty
comprehensive
and
large.
So
if
their
ears
of
the
report
that
you
have
further
questions
about
outside
of
this
meeting,
you
know
we're
happy
to
talk
about
it,
as
my
staff
put
a
lot
of
work
into
this
one,
so
that's
how
it
got
presented
and
how
we
moved
forward.
So
what
do
we
do?
K
Is
office
of
police
conduct
review
as
staff,
so
we
reach
out
to
experts
in
the
field,
data
and
analysis.
We
end
up
doing
in-house
and
Ryan
Patrick
who's.
Our
legal
analyst
will
talk
more
about
that
when
he
comes
up
here,
but
we
also
interview
advocates
in
the
field,
experts
and
people
who
can
give
us
a
more
comprehensive
picture.
So
the
first
part
of
the
report
is
really
focused
on
that
and
then
we
completed
and
presented
the
report
itself
to
the
Commission
in
December
2017,
and
then
the
department
got
a
copy.
K
The
police
department
got
a
copy
in
January
of
2018
of
the
report.
So
what
did
we
look
at
when
we
went
for
it
on
the
report?
Well,
it
was
really
important
for
us
to
look
at
what
is
their
policy
and
what
is
the
practice,
because
in
all
of
our
research
and
studies
we
first
look
to
see.
Is
the
policy
sound,
but
it's
one
thing
to
have
a
sound
policy,
but
you
have
to
have
application
of
that
policy
as
part
of
it.
So
is
the
policy
actually
being
applied?
We
compared
it
to
other
jurisdictions.
K
You
may
know
that
Duluth
actually
has
kind
of
internationally
recognized
domestic
violence
response
model.
That's
used
all
over
the
world
to
train,
so
we
had
something
within
our
state
that
we
could
look
at.
You
know
like
any
model,
there's
issues
and
things
that
you
see
pop
up,
but
there
are
some
good
mechanisms
that
will
talk
about
it,
so
we
try
and
look
for
any
improvement
in
the
current
policy
in
practice.
Where
are
the
holes
where
the
gaps?
How
can
we
address
it?
And
then
you
can
see
the
report
for
the
very
specific
research
questions.
K
K
One
thing
we
learned
going
through
this
is
that
most
of
the
victims
are
women
in
vulnerable
positions
and
that
on
average
it
takes
seven
times
to
leave.
So
what
we
also
heard
from
every
single
advocate
was
the
police
or
the
gateway
for
that
victim
to
be
able
to
leave.
So
if
a
police
officer
comes
through
situation,
writes
a
report
treats
the
person
with
respect
in
an
empathetic
manner.
They
their
chances
of
successfully
leaving
an
abusive
relationship,
go
up
dramatically.
So
that's
why
the
reports
themselves
are
they?
Just
they
have
a
bevy
of
paths.
K
They
can
go
on
to
really
help
someone
who's
in
a
difficult
situation.
The
other
thing
is
that
is
how
they
get
to
the
domestic
assault
unit
for
screening.
So
without
a
report
you
aren't
triggering
all
of
the
mechanisms
that
are
in
the
policy
to
go
forward,
the
advocates
get
alerted
and
it
makes
it
much
much
easier
for
orders
for
protection.
I.
Think
some
of
you
know
that
my
background
is
actually
in
criminal.
Defense
in
public
defense
and
I
can
tell
you.
K
These
things
will
fall
on
their
face
without
a
report,
because
when
you're
in
front
of
a
judge
or
a
referee
they're
looking
at
he
said
she
said,
a
police
report
can
clear
up
a
lot
of
the
questions
and
issues
and
then
put
people
in
a
much
safer
situation,
especially
when
they're
with
small
children.
It
also
identifies
candidates
for
interventions,
so
you
know
there
are
actually
some
wonderful
intervention
programs
for
both
alleged
abusers
and
victims,
but
they
can't
get
access
to
those
programs
if
it's
not
triggered,
and
it
goes
through
all
of
these
processes.
K
So
the
report
is
key.
So
what
does
the
policy
say
so
page
11
and
the
report
actually
has
the
full
policy.
So
when
you
look
at
the
policy,
it
actually
talks
about
the
importance
of
reports.
But
what
we
wanted
to
highlight
today
is
this
one
line
out
of
the
police
policy
that
says
that
a
cappers
or
police
report
is
required
in
all
cases
of
domestic
violence
or
alleged
acts.
All
it
has
to
be
is
alleged
and
domestic
violence.
Isn't
you
know
an
act,
isn't
normally
what
people
just
think
of
partners
or
romantic
partners?
K
That
includes
parent
and
child,
it
includes
siblings
and
many
of
the
calls
that
we
pulled
because
they
called
they
pulled
all
the
calls
which
Ryan
will
talk
about
when
he
comes
up
here.
You
know
they
were
many
different
types
of
relationships,
so
that
encapsulates
a
lot
of
interactions,
and
you
know
on
average,
as
you'll
see,
there
need
to
be
a
lot
of
reports
per
the
policy
and
the
policy
itself
is
written
very
well.
It's
where
we
get
into
the
gaps
is
the
application.
P
Thank
You
director
fire
chair,
Cano
council,
vice
president
Jenkins
I'm,
going
to
talk
about
the
results
that
we
saw
coming
out
of
the
study,
so
we
looked
at
calls
over
a
three-year
period,
2014
through
2016.
During
that
time,
there
were
40
3091
calls
coded
as
domestic
violence,
domestic
abuse
in
progress,
domestic
assault
with
weapons
domestic
report.
Only
so
it's
for
actually
separate
categories
of
9-1-1
calls,
but
well
we
were
focused
on
where
911
calls
not
necessarily
someone
going
to
the
precinct
to
make
a
report
and
not
something
after
the
fact.
P
But
the
call
the
officer
goes
on
when
it's
hot
and
happening
in
the
moment
and
at
the
time
of
the
what
the
other
thing
we
did
was.
We
didn't
want
to
just
assume
that
all
calls
involved
an
act
of
domestic
violence
because
or
an
alleged
act
of
domestic
violence,
because
it
could
be
that
the
call
taker
coded
it
that
way,
and
perhaps
it
was
a
family
dispute
that
didn't
rise
to
the
level
of
what
we
would
consider
a
domestic
violence
incident.
So
we
did
take
a
simple
random
sample.
P
We
went
through
all
of
the
call
logs
ourselves
went
through
the
9-1-1
call
transcripts
and
we
were
able
to
determine
that
upwards
of
65
percent
of
the
calls
did
just
during
the
phone
call
to
the
911
call
taker
allege
an
act
that
constitutes
a
domestic
violence
incident
so
well
it
wasn't
a
hundred
percent,
still
pretty
high
number
about
65
percent.
You
can
see
the
exact
numbers
in
the
report,
but
what
we
found
was
that
at
the
time
of
the
report
only
nineteen
point,
nine
eight
percent
of
calls
were
leading
to
reports
or
arrests.
P
So
there
was
obviously
a
gap
between
calls
and
actual
reports
that
were
resulting
per
the
policy.
And
again
we
were
looking
at
2014
to
2016
data,
but
we
just
pulled
the
numbers
again
just
to
take
a
current
look
and
the
number
over
the
last
90
days
is
sitting
at
twenty
five
point:
five,
three
percent,
so
we
tried
to
come
up
with
some
explanations.
We
try
to
test
a
variety
of
different
theories
to
see
if
we
could
explain
why
there
might
be
that
gap
that
exists,
so
we
thought
perhaps
call
load
the
precinct.
P
You
know
if
you're
in
a
very
busy
time
in
a
very
busy
precinct,
are
you
going
from
call
to
call
to
call
and
that's
preventing
you
from
writing
report?
Is
that
a
barrier
to
writing
reports
but
that
actually
didn't
pan
out
in
our
research?
So
we
looked
at
the
time
of
day
the
calls
were
made
and
looked
at
average
call
loads.
P
P
So
if
it's
a
house
there's
call
after
call
after
call
at
that
house,
maybe
there
are
less
reports
coming
out
of
that
or
more
reports
coming
out
of
that
it's
affecting
the
number,
but
we
saw
that
repeated
calls
to
the
same
address
didn't
really
change
that
two
out
of
10
likelihood
that
a
report
would
be
written
and
then
we
thought
well,
maybe
non
domestic
assault
calls
just
an
assault
call.
Maybe
that
rate
would
be
5%,
so
we'd
actually
be
seeing
four
times
as
many
in
the
domestic
situation
indicating
that
the
policy
did
have
some
effect.
P
But
when
looking
at
non
domestic
assaults,
we
saw
that
rate
to
be
about
eighteen
point,
eight
percent,
so
just
a
percent
shy
of
where
the
domestic
rate
was
so
remarkably
similar.
Even
though
the
domestic
calls
obviously
have
a
very
specific
policy
that
mandates
a
report
any
time
there's
an
alleged
act
of
domestic
abuse,
so
looking
at
cross
precincts
numbers
may
be
a
little
small,
but
you
can
see
precinct
one
through
five,
pretty
consistent.
P
We
have
maybe
about
a
six
percent
variation
between
the
lowest
reporting
precinct
at
the
time
of
the
study
was
precinct
three
that
it's
kind
of
changed
at
this
point
and
precinct
five
at
the
high
end
at
twenty-one
point,
eight
percent,
but
again
not
not
huge
variation
amongst
precincts
average
rate
by
day
so
Monday
through
Sunday
and
again
we
broke
this
up
by
time
to
and
months.
So
we
didn't
just
look
over
a
three-year
period
and
average
all
the
times,
but
we
saw
consistently
that
it
didn't
really
matter
the
day.
P
You
were
still
hovering
somewhere
between
18
and
20
percent
and
calls
leading
to
arrests
or
reports
and
again,
multiple
calls
to
the
same
address
so
addresses
that
had
over
ten
calls
during
the
three-year
period,
and
there
were
a
number
of
them
averaged
around
eighteen
and
a
half
percent
reports.
Arrests
and
the
first
call
an
incident
location
where
there's
only
one
twenty
percent
and
we
screened
out.
We
were
able
to
modify
it
based
on
apartments
and
social
service,
centers
and
stuff.
P
Where
you
might
get
a
lot
of
calls,
we
were
able
to
focus
specifically
on
addresses
and
not
not
have
our
data
get
distorted
by
those
the
biggest
source
of
variations.
What
we
were
looking
at
were
what
we
were
looking
for
were
instances
where
we
saw
really
wide
variation,
because
then
you
might
be
able
to
find
an
explanation
somewhere
in
that
variation
was
when
we
actually
broke
it
down
to
the
officer
level.
P
So
when
we
looked
at
officers
who
responded
to
at
least
100
911
calls
over
the
three-year
period
and
looked
at
their
individual
rates,
we
saw
a
25%
spread
in
the
rate
amongst
officers.
What
that
really
means
in
practice
is
some
officers
one
out
of
every
three
calls
they
were
going
to.
They
were
ending
at
an
arrest
report,
whereas
some
officers-
it
was
one
in
20,
and
these
were
officers
working
in
the
same
precincts
in
the
same
areas
similar
shifts.
P
We
couldn't
come
up
with
a
and
we
looked
at
time
on
the
job
we
we
tried
to
figure
out.
Is
there
something
else
that
is
causing
this
wide
variation
and
couldn't
couldn't
come
up
with
another
explanation
other
than
the
fact
that
there
is
this
very
wide
variation
amongst
officers?
So,
if
you're
a
caller,
the
outcome
of
your
call
may
just
be
dependent
on
the
person
who
shows
up
and
not
what
necessarily
occurred
for
the
last
90
days.
Just
to
say
that
this
is
still
an
issue,
this
hasn't
necessarily
changed.
P
K
Thank
You,
Ryan
and
I.
Think
I,
don't
recall
if
you
mentioned
this,
but
during
the
course
of
us
completing
the
study,
a
national
recommendation
came
out
that
reports
should
be
at
about
70
percent
of
domestic
calls.
So
that
was
a
little
bit
of
a
troubling
statistics,
but
statistic,
but
we
do
have
recommendations
related
to
how
this
can
get
better.
First
of
all
intervention.
K
But
other
entities
like
the
city
attorney
is
the
civil
rights
Department.
Other
elected
officials
who
have
representatives
can
be
screening
these
reports
to
see
okay,
here's
a
problematic
pattern
or
this
one
person
is
struggling,
but
then
that
person
can
be
identified
for
early
intervention
and
training,
but
Ryan
actually
during
the
study
built
this,
and
if
you
look
at
this
model,
although
in
the
screen
its
small,
it
identifies
a
few
things.
First,
we
see
the
blank
name
that
it
will
just
populate
who's
handled
more
than
at
least
ten
9-1-1
domestic
incidents.
K
K
As
my
understanding
and
I'm
sure
he
could
talk
to
you
more
about
that
if
you're
interested
in
it,
but
it
also
gives
you
the
overall
rate
at
the
top,
but
this
is
something
that's
built
that
could
be
used
by
supervisors
in
the
police
department
to
actually
identify
these
candidates,
send
them
back
to
training,
send
them
back
to
where
they
need
to
go
to
look
at
that
domestic
policy.
Look
through.
Where
does
it
actually
trigger
you
to
write
a
report?
K
So
I
mentioned
this
on
the
last
slide
a
little
bit,
but
really
essentially
forming
an
audit
group.
That
pot
is
an
audit
group
that
would
look
through
a
select
number
of
reports
to
make
sure
that
there's
quality
responses,
they're
the
right
type
of
people
to
serve
in
this
from
what
we
saw
from
successful
models
and
other
jurisdictions
is
advocates
prosecuting
attorneys
investigators
and
what
they
would
do
is
look
at
sample
of
calls
during
a
time
period,
and
then
they
look
for
issues
like
it
got.
You
know
it
came
in
as
a
domestic
call.
K
It
stayed
coded
as
a
domestic
call.
You
know
the
allegation
seems
serious.
Maybe
there's
notes
in
the
call
like
there
were
markings,
but
then
paying
attention
to
things
like
at
the
end
of
that
okay.
Well,
we
just
told
them
to
separate
and
there's
no
report
other
than
marks
on
a
call
like
that
might
be
something
that
would
trigger
it
so
again
having
a
workgroup
to
identify
those
issues
can
help.
K
You
know,
increase
that
report,
writing
rate
and
target,
who
is
actually
the
the
people
that
are
not
understanding
how
to
apply
the
protocol
and
then
support,
because
if
that
is
successful,
there's
definitely
going
to
be
an
increase
right
in
the
number
of
reports
that
are
written.
That
are
then
referred
to
the
domestic
assault
unit,
so
making
sure
their
staffing
levels
are
appropriate,
so
they
can
actually
adequately
handle
those
cases.
So,
just
for
an
example,
10%
increase
could
lead
to
an
additional
thousand
reports
a
year
for
people.
That's
just
that
small.
K
E
You,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
director,
I,
wanted
to
maybe
hear
from
you
about.
We
talked
about
a
10%
increase,
would
increase
it
by
about
a
thousand.
Are
there
any?
Has
there
been
any
sort
of
goals
that
yet
to
aspire
to
getting
a
compliance
rate
for
reports?
So
that'd
be
my
first
part
of
the
question
I.
K
E
K
Chicano
councilmember,
Cunningham
I
think
the
best
way
to
assess
that
is
pride
to
sit
down
and
set
the
goal
and
then
talk
to
the
supervisors
in
that
unit
and
past
supervisors
as
well
I
mean
my
current
commander.
Counterpart
and
internal
affairs
was
actually
formerly
running.
The
the
domestic
unit,
so
I
mean
sitting
down
to
talk
with
someone
like
her
to
assess
what
does
that
look
like
in
terms
of
staffing.
J
And
what
struck
me
is
that
in
those
violent
crime
hotspots,
the
most
frequent
call
for
service
was
coated
as
domestic
and
that's
what
led
us
to
do
this
pilots
we've
now
got
towards
three
years
worth
of
data
and
what
we
found-
and
these
are
follow-up
visits
for
9-1-1
calls
coded
as
domestics,
where
no
police
report
was
written
and
what
we
found
is
that
there's
a
whole
variety
of
circumstances.
There
were
some
where,
yes,
a
crime
may
have
been
committed.
That
should
have
been
reported.
J
A
lot
of
them
were
calls
for
help
in
the
sense
of
my
kid
is
out
of
control.
I,
don't
want
a
criminal
case
started.
You
know
I
just
need
help
getting
him
to
leave
because
he's
out
of
control
now.
So
it's
a
complicated
area,
I
think
increasing
the
number
of
police
reports
written
is
is
very
important.
We've
done
training
with
the
police
over
the
years
to
improve
how
they
write
their
police
reports.
J
We
started
this
evidence
gathering
protocol
for
responding
officers
on
9-1-1
domestic
calls
where
they're
gathering
evidence
at
the
scene
thats
increased
our
conviction
rate.
It
also
led
to
police
understanding
the
whole
syndrome
of
domestic
crime
better
and
we've
been
monitoring
compliance
with
filling
out
that
evidence
gathering
protocol.
J
So
it's
a
complicated
issue,
I
know
also
and
I'm
sure
the
PC
OC
will
work
with
the
police
department
on
this.
Is
that
they're
starting
this
IV
T
I,
intimate
IPV
I,
think
intimate
partner
violence,
intervention
program
as
part
of
the
national
initiative
and
I
know:
we've
got
a
prosecutor
in
one
of
our
paralegals
who
work
with
the
Family
Violence
Unit
of
MPD,
going
down
to
be
trained
on
this,
and
one
component
of
that
is
just
making
sure
you're
writing
police
reports
so
that
there's
a
searchable
database
going
forward.
J
So
we've
done
a
lot
of
work,
we're
looking
for
working
with
the
PC
OSI
and
the
MPD
and
the
Hennepin
County
Attorney's
Office,
and
advocates
I'm
moving
this
forward.
But
I
think
it
would
be
false
to
assume
that
there's
thousands
and
thousands
and
thousands
of
felony
cases
where
the
cops
are
just
too
lazy
to
write
report.
J
That
that's
not
what
we
found.
Certainly,
there
are
cases
where
they
should
write
more
and
I
think
best
practices
to
write
a
report,
but
but
I
don't
know
that
you
can
instantly
draw
the
other
conclusion
and
then
we
also
have
to
think
about
the
right
approach
in
a
prevention
approach.
And
what
do
we
do?
We
just
did
some
listening
sessions
that
the
cultural
Wellness
Center
helped
us
put
together
and
we
heard
from
victims.
That
said.
Look
the
last
place.
J
I
will
call,
is
91
one
because
they're
going
to
come,
take
my
kids
away,
and
so
how
do
you
deal
with
those
kinds
of
issues
and
kind
of
move
everything
upstream,
so
I'm
so
glad
that
the
PCO
she
did.
This
really
good
work
and
it's
helping
put
a
spotlight
on
this
work,
but
a
simplistic
kind
of
responses.
It
is
a
complicated
issue,
but
a
really
important
one
for
our
kids
and
for
our
community.
P
Clarify
I
think
that's
exactly
right
and
that's
why,
when
we're
talking
about
the
intervention
model,
we
we
set
up
this
early
intervention
program
in
the
police
department,
not
me
particularly,
but
the
police
department
did
so
that
it's
a
way
to
identify
officers
and
get
them
additional
training.
That's
that
was
correct
in
the
sense
that
yeah
we
did
not
see.
I
Chair
this
is
a
really
important
report
and
it
and
there's
a
lot
of
troubling
information
here,
I'm
curious,
if
it
hasn't
already
been
said,
and
if
we
could,
if
you
would
entertain
being
having
our
PC
OSI
chair,
co-chair
Vice,
Chair
Jenny
singleton
come
up
I'm
curious.
What
led
this
commission
to
taking
up
this
topic
of
study?
And
you
know
these
are
troubling
numbers
and
we
haven't
had
a
lot
of
time
yet
here
to
digest
it
but
I'm
curious.
What
the
commissioners
reaction
was
to
this
report,
because
I
know
they've
already
seen
it.
Q
So
we
initially
flagged
this
issue
via
the
case
summaries
that
we
read
during
every
monthly
meeting.
We
get
three
randomly
selected
case
summaries
and
we
had
a
couple
in
a
row
that
highlighted
issues
where
the
person
filing
the
police
complaint
had
tried
to
report
a
domestic
violence
incident
and
hadn't
had
an
appropriate
response
from
the
police
that
they
interacted
with
so
had
it
had
a
report.
Written
have
had
perceived
a
dismissive
attitude
from
the
officer.
Q
So
after
seeing
what
looked
like
an
emerging
pattern,
we
asked
the
OPC
R
to
begin
looking
at
the
issue
more
broadly
and
then
decided
to
go
forth
with
the
study
and
I
see
your
second
question.
I
I
think
that
we
were
all
pretty
taken
aback
and
surprised
the
the
meeting
where
we
had
the
initial
results
presented
to
us.
Q
And
so
luckily,
at
our
meeting
we
had
several
domestic
violence
advocates
who
were
there
to
help
her
and
connect
her
with
different
resources
and
connect.
Her
with
a
specific
officer
who
we
knew
would
give
her
appropriate
service,
but
I
think
that
that
public,
testimony
paired
with
the
quantitative
results
that
we
were
seeing
in
the
study
were
very
powerful
for
all
the
commissioners.
Thank
you.
E
Is
for
director
Jafar
I
was
just
wondering
you
at
the
beginning
had
discussed
that
there
was
compares,
oh
I,
think
I'm,
not
sure
we
said
it,
but
that
it
was
compared
to
other
cities.
So
could
you
so
we
have
20%?
How
does
that
compare
to
the
national
average
and
like
st.
Paul?
Aren't
our
next-door
neighbor
chair.
K
Condo
councilmember
Cunningham,
so
st.
Paul
is
around
that
70%.
That
is,
that
national,
that
the
national
recommended
level
for
reports
is
about
70
percent
and
you
do
they
follow
it
and
simple.
They
follow
the
blueprint
for
domestic
violence,
so
they're
on
a
little
bit
different
in
the
system.
But
you
know
all
the
advocates
we
talked
to
people
didn't
have
complaints
about
the
policy.
E
E
I've
already,
my
I
was
already
starting
to
get
like
I
was
catching
domestic
violence
being
a
frequent
issue
in
my
community,
and
then
this
report
coming
out
just
really
blends
with
that
already
we
have
an
issue
and
then
now
we're
systemically
how
this
issue
is
being
perpetuated
and
so
I'm,
so
grateful
for
everyone.
Who's
been
involved
with
this
work,
doing
the
study
as
well
as
moving
forward
and
I
hope
that
you
will
consider
me
a
partner
in
this
work.
A
Do
we
have
any
other
questions
from
our
committee
members
today
all
righty?
Well,
thank
you
so
much
for
this
very
important
report
and
we
shall
go
ahead
and
receive
and
file
this
report,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye,
so
that
moves
forward
and
there
are
no
more
items
on
our
agenda
for
today.
So
we
are
adjourned.
Thank
you
very
much.
