B
B
For
the
record,
my
name
is
tony
newborn
and
I
am
one
of
the
co-chairs
of
the
charter
commission's
public
safety
work
group.
Commissioner,
andrea
rubinstein,
is
our
other
co-chair.
I
will
now
call
this
meeting
to
order
and
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
roles
so
that
we
may
verify
the
presence
of
a
quorum.
C
D
E
B
B
B
F

D
D
E
E
B
E
Actually,
you
don't
have
much
of
a
report
to
listen.
As
you
all
actually
know.
We,
we
have
prepared
a
work
plan.
E
To
everyone-
and
it
has
a
schedule
going
forward
to
the
end
of
november
and
so
we'll
be
following
that
work
plan
each
week
for
the
agendas
of
our
meeting.
E
E
E
D
E
Okay,
unfortunately,
not
I've
been
having
trouble
with
my
computer,
all
of
a
sudden,
but
I'll
do
my
best
item
two
on
our
agenda
is
reviewing
and
discussing
interim
recommendations
for
the
full
commission,
and
we
raised
this
as
a
brief,
I
hope,
a
brief
housekeeping
item,
but
with
apologies
to
our
gifts,
we
put
it
early
on
the
agenda
because
it
is
so
essential
to
our
work
going
forward.
E
E
The
draft
also
contains
notes
and
comments
primarily
reflects
discussion
of
the
standards
in
the
workforce
meeting
last
week,
and
I
also
added
some
legal
citations
where
that
was
appropriate.
E
If
I'm
correct,
I
believe
that
we've
already
had
consensus
on
these
standards,
and
so
I
would
just
like
to
suppose
that,
as
a
work
group,
we
adopt
the
draft
as
a
recommendation
to
the
full
commission
at
the
upcoming
september.
Just
the
idea
is
that
we
have
these
standards
in
place,
as
we
continue
on
the
charter
city,
council
amendment
and
any
amendments
in
the
future
proposed
by
the
city
council
or
by
our
own
proposals.
E
F
E
I
When
I
looked
at
this,
I
read
the
number
11,
which
I
think
is
very
important,
and
then
I
read
the
beginning
first
paragraph
and
I
think,
there's
a
little
bit
of
a
conflict
there.
I
I
think
that
will
make
it
more
comparable
for
number
11
and
then
in
the
next
line
down.
We
say
the
proposed
amendment
should
pass
all
of
these
tests.
I
would
strike
all
of
these
tests
and
insert
those
tests
applicable
to
the
amendment
and
then
continue
on
before
the
charter
commission.
So
I
think
we
should
have
those
two
amendments
in
there
to
comply
with
number
11.
E
D
D
I
That
is
fine
with
me
if
we're
going
to
have
a
discussion
at
the
voluntary
commission,
and
we
just
forward
these-
that's
fine
with
me.
Okay,
thank
you.
E
Okay,
any
other
comments
or
questions.
E
If
not
with
the
clerk,
please
call
the
role.
E
E
E
D
D
E
E
Thank
you
that
motion
carries,
and
now
we
have
a
second
matter
also
under
this
agenda
item.
In
the
course
of
our
discussions
of
the
city
council.
Amendment
again,
a
suggestion
arose
that
we
should
form
a
second
work
group
to
look
at
the
structure
of
government
issues,
while
there's
some
arguable
overlap
with
our
work
because
of
the
proposed
powershift,
that's
contained
in
the
city
council
amendment.
E
Nevertheless,
the
structure
of
government
is
beyond
the
scope
of
this
work
group
on
public
spaces.
So
therefore,
I
would
like
to
request
a
motion
to
recommend
to
the
full
commission
and
again
this
would
be
another
interim
recommendation
from
our
work
group
that
instructor
of
government
works
to
be
born,
and
so
I
would
ask
for
a
motion.
E
E
F
D
E
E
E
Thank
you,
mr
benjamin,
and
thank
you
all
for
keeping
this
discussion
short,
because
we
want
to
move
on
item
three,
which
is
the
greatest
part
of
our
agenda
today,
and
that
is
the
interviews
of
our
invited
guests
to
answer
questions
regarding
the
interrelation
and
coordination
of
public
safety
among
the
city
of
minneapolis
department.
E
E
Our
first
question
to
you,
mr
rush,
has
to
do
with
something
that's
coming
up
in
our
discussions,
and
that
is
the
current
status
of
the
911
horse
group
and
also
the
minneapolis
police
department,
staffing
and
efficiency
studies,
as
well
as
the
impetus
behind
these
efforts
and
the
desired
or
anticipated
results
or
associated
policy
goals.
J
Sure,
chair
and
commissioners,
this
again
is
mark
ruff.
I
am
the
city
coordinator.
I've
been
the
city
coordinator
since
approximately
april
of
this
year.
Previous
to
that,
I
was
the
city's
chief
financial
officer
for
approximately
four
years.
J
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
be
with
you
and
to
talk
specifically
about
these
two
important
processes
that
are
being
undertaken
currently
and
spearheaded
by
the
coordinator's
office,
but
in
complete
partnership
with
a
variety
of
departments
across
the
enterprise
you
raised
about
the
9-1-1
work
group,
which
is
an
endeavor
that
was
started
in
2019
and
had
significant
input
from
mpd,
as
well
as
our
mecc,
which
is
the
responding
agency
for
9-1-1
calls
and
coordinators
office
and
and
other
departments
that
911
work
group,
which
is
still
active
after
some
break
during
the
covid
disruption
of
our
enterprise,
has
put
out
a
request
for
proposals
to
look
specifically
at
problem.
J
Nature,
codes
and
problem.
Nature
codes
are
a
specific
data
entry
piece
into
our
cad
system.
Our
dispatch
system
that
911
operators
input
calls
into
actions
by
our
various
first
responders,
so
that
rfp
is
utilizing
a
consultant
to
look
at
the
problem.
Nature
codes,
as
well
as
our
priority
system
and
that
rfp
the
request
for
proposals.
Responses
are
due
in
the
middle
of
september,
and
we
expect
that
work
by
a
consultant
to
start
in
approximately
november
of
this
year
and
will
run
for
a
substantial
period
of
time.
J
So
it
will
take
several
months
for
the
consultant
to
work
through
our
specific
system,
understand
it
and
then
bring
expertise
from
their
work
in
other
places,
for
how
we
want
to
make
adjustments
to
our
essentially
our
call
intake
process
and
our
data
collection
process.
We
feel
that
will
greatly
inform
the
next
steps
of
the
9-1-1
work
group.
J
J
There
is
also
a
program
which
has
been
initiated
by
mpd,
that
is
a
mental
health
co-responder
program
that
continues
that
9-1-1
work
group
did
recommend
an
expansion
of
mental
health.
Correspondent
efforts
as
well
and
part
of
that
expansion
was
also
even
looking
at
other
first
responders,
such
as
the
fire
department,
as
as
embedding
that
more
of
a
medical
call
than
necessarily
a
public
or
law
enforcement
call,
and
as
far
as
I
know,
there's
not
been
action
taking
on
that
particular
endeavor.
J
But
there
are
a
number
of
ideas
that
if,
if
this
group
is
interested
in,
I
think
that
is
also
on
the
website,
and
I
can
certainly
forward
the
requester
proposal,
which
also
embeds
links
to
the
reports
that
were
done
publicly,
as
well
as
written
reports,
just
a
wealth
of
information
around
that
area.
The
second
area
you
asked
about
is
the
staffing
and
efficiency
study
just.
J
J
Thank
you.
The
second
area
you
you
mentioned
was
a
staffing
and
efficiency
study.
This
the
impetus
for
this
again
came
in
2019.
J
It
brought
together
the
staffing
and
efficiency
study,
a
number
of
areas
which
were
of
interest
to
the
mayor's
office,
to
specific
council
members,
as
well
as
the
police
department,
to
look
from
a
peer
relationship,
meaning
what
do
other
cities
do
in
terms
of
staffing
levels,
not
just
around
sworn
officers,
not
just
around
patrol,
but
also
in
the
various
areas
of
mpd.
J
The
the
second
impetus
or
or
reason
for
this
study
was
to-
and
I
think,
chi
faradando
when
when
he
was
very
involved
in
the
planning
for
the
study,
said
that
essentially,
the
police
department
has
has
never
that
he's
aware
of
in
the
history
of
the
police
department.
Looked
at
a
staffing
study
almost
like
a
a
comprehensive
plan
for
the
police
department,
which
is
to
say,
instead
of
just
year
by
year,
having
a
discussion
about
what
is
the
appropriate
number
of
sworn
officers
to
really
tie
it.
J
Try
to
tie
those
staffing
levels
to
different
indicators
and
maybe
enhancing
not
just
the
per
capita
indicator,
but
also
looking
at
things
that
drive
public
safety
needs
within
the
city
of
minneapolis.
Much
of
that
is
around
our
entertainment
venues
and
the
number
of
visitors
that
we
have
on
a
daily
basis
the
number
of
workers
that
we
import
on
a
daily
basis
when
we
are
not
in
these
pandemic
times.
J
There
are
other
drivers
in
terms
of
the
university
of
minnesota
that
clearly
drives
some
needs
for
response
from
the
minneapolis
police
department,
and
so
it
was
an
attempt
to
try
to
try
to
then
quantify
then
some
of
those
drivers
as
to
why
we
have
demands
on
our
public
safety
department
and
and
what
that
means
forecasting
wise
not
just
today,
but
in
the
future,
about
the
different
components
of
mpd.
There
was
also
some
elements
of
that
study
that
wanted
to
look
at
the
use
of
overtime
and
what
is
a
appropriate
use
of
overtime.
J
One
of
the
council
members,
as
you
may
be
aware,
and
others
have
raised
whether
having
patrols
have
one
person
or
staffed
by
two
people,
is
it
appropriate
in
certain
cases
to
have
one
person
patrol,
so
that
was
an
element
of
the
staffing
efficiency
study
that
requests
for
proposals
did
go
out.
We
did
receive
several
responses.
J
We
had
to
delay
because
of
the
civil
unrest,
the
consideration
of
those
responses,
but
there
have
been
interviews
now
conducted,
and
I
expect
that
we
will
select
of
the
vendor
within
the
next
few
weeks,
and
so
that
effort
will
also
be
undertaken
again,
not
a
short-term
effort.
We
expect
that
that
will
go
into
2020
before
the
results
of
that
study
are
known.
C
C
That's
great,
thank
you
very
much.
Second
question
is:
does
the
city
coordinator
or
your
department
have
oversight
of
all
public
safety
functions
in
the
city
other
than
the
police
department,
and
if
so,
what
departments,
functions
or
programs
are
included
in
that
oversight?.
J
So
now
chair
and
commissioners
I
would
submit.
We
first
have
to
talk
about
the
definition
of
public
safety,
and
I
think
that
is
certainly
something
that
could
be
a
discussion
more
today
if
you
want
to,
but
I
will
make
at
least
an
attempt
at
at
least
how
I
view
your
question
and
how
it
corresponds
to
the
coordinators
departments
and
certainly
be
happy
for
for
clarification.
J
I
would
say
that
a
term
that
I
would
use
first
is
maybe
first
responder
elements
of
public
safety,
of
which
clearly,
the
police
department
is
one
element
of
that,
but
I
think
traditionally,
if
you
look
at
department
of
homeland
security
or
others,
they
will
list
first
responders
as
being
also
fire
department,
emergency
communications,
which
would
include
911
response.
Certainly,
ems,
medical
services,
which,
as
you
know
the
city,
does
not
provide
ambulance
services.
J
The
two
areas
of
that
that
fall
into
the
coordinator's
office
are
9-1-1
response.
As
well
as
emergency
management,
so
those
two
departments
do
come
and
report
through
the
city
coordinator.
There
are
obviously
a
number
if
we
broaden
the
definition
of
public
safety,
and
I
think
sasha
cotton
is
director,
cotton
is
gonna,
has
given
presentations
and
I've.
J
I've
listened
to
her
and
listened
to
others
when
she
talks
about
violence
prevention,
in
the
same
way
that
there
are
several
departments
across
the
enterprise
which
are
involved
in
violence,
prevention
and
or
public
safety
and
I'll
just
list
a
few.
In
addition
to
the
fire
department
we've
talked
about,
I
think
public
works
clearly
has
major
public
safety
involvement.
That
is
anything
from
they
operate
the
fleet
care
for
those
first
responders,
so
they
take
care
of
the
vehicle
vehicles.
They
oversee
a
number
of
the.
J
Organizational
efforts,
such
as
the
did,
the
downtown
improvement
district,
which
has
its
own
ambassador
program,
an
element
of
public
safety
as
well
as
public
works,
also
oversees
some
of
its
own
facilities,
security,
and
so
that's
an
area,
regulatory
services
with
its
traffic
control
efforts,
its
citations
around
housing
violations
or
parking
violations,
its
role
in
animal
care
and
control.
I
think
everyone
would
agree.
Those
are
elements
of
public
safety
which
are
critical
as
well.
J
The
city
attorney's
office,
in
not
just
the
execution
of
of
its
partnership
with
law
enforcement,
but
also
its
area
of
experimentation
and
incubation
of
different
types
of
responses,
is
clearly
a
leader
in
the
city
around
public
safety,
as
well
as
our
health
department.
Where
you'll
hear
more
from
director
cotton
about
all
of
the
efforts
that
go
on
through
there,
so
I
would
submit
that
all
across
the
enterprise
there's
a
variety
of
public
safety
elements
specific
within
the
coordinator's
office.
J
I
will
list
a
few
more
within
our
various
departments
that
I
consider
to
be
public
safety,
and
certainly
we
can
have
a
discussion
about
that.
I've
mentioned
3-1-1
and
the
reports
they
already
have
some
function
around.
Taking
some
what
we
consider
to
be
police
reports
for
insurance
purposes
and
entering
those
into
the
pim
system
and
we're
expanding
that,
I
would
say
that
a
significant
part
of
public
safety
is
also
our
emergency
radio
system.
J
So
if
you
hear
about
like
the
800
megahertz
radio
system,
that
is
run
through
our
finance
and
property
services,
division
as
well
as
much
of
the
facilities
and
security
for
facilities
is
run
through
a
security
division
within
finance
and
property
services.
J
A
separate
department
that
deals
directly
with
our
various
neighborhood
groups
and
and
residents,
has
a
long
history
of
supporting
public
safety
and
certainly
within
all
of
our
human
resources
within
our
our
lobbying
folks.
The
intergovernmental
relations
communications
also
have
a
very
strong
support
role
for
public
safety.
C
J
Madam
chair
and
commissioners,
I
am
not
aware
of
any
formal
authority
that
we
have
over
the
police
department.
As
the
coordinator's
office,
the
authority
of
the
police
department
resides
within
the
mayor.
C
J
Sure
I'm
chair
and
commissioners,
every
department
within
the
city
is
involved
in
work
sharing
as
you're
all
aware,
this
is
a
shared
power
organization
and
and
departments
support
each
other.
J
In
many
ways
I
will
try
to
list
off
a
few
examples
of
the
collaborative
efforts
and
I
and
I
again
want
to
applaud
chief
arredondo
and
his
staff,
who
are
a
very
collaborative
group
of
folks
and
really
am
grateful
for
the
relationship
we
have
with
the
police
department
as
city
coordinator
and
in
my
previous
role
as
cfo,
the
specific
collaborations
when
we
talk
about
allocation
of
resources.
Obviously
the
budget
process
is
a
significant
part
of
the
process.
J
The
budget
process
is
run
through
our
budget
office,
which
reports
up
through
the
coordinator's
office
and
works
very
closely
with
the
mayor's
office
within
human
resources,
is
our
labor
contract
negotiations
staff,
and
so
when
it
comes
to
setting
contract
terms
with
the
various
labor
groups.
Hr
is
is
works,
hand
in
hand
with
the
chief
and
his
staff,
the
collaboration
around
planning
for
large
events
when
we
think
about
whether
it's
something
as
large
as
the
super
bowl
or
final
four,
or
whether
it's
any
kind
of
significant
public
event
within
the
city.
J
There's
strong
collaboration
among
the
among
the
department
and
and
the
city
coordinators
department,
with
our
our
work
with
with
emergency
management
crisis
management,
clearly
is
an
area
where
there's
an
awful
lot
of
collaboration
that
goes
on
and
me
personally,
with
the
chief
and
the
chief
is,
is
always
receptive
to
my
texts
and
phone
calls.
J
I
would
say
that
we
also
collaborate
very
much
in
working
with
other
jurisdictions,
whether
that
be
hennepin
county
or
the
state
of
minnesota,
whether
that
be
the
park
board
or
the
school
district.
There
are
constant
discussions
going
on
in
those
types
of
intergovernmental
work,
not
the
least
of
which
is,
as
I
mentioned
before,
lobbying
at
the
state
capitol
for
efforts
where
the
mayor
and
or
police
department
wants
to
see
specific
changes,
as
well
as
our
city
council.
C
J
You
know
any
organization
can
approve,
you
know,
improve
the
city
of
minneapolis.
In
addition
to
being
a
you
know,
a
shared
power
organization
is
a
relationship
based
organization
and
I
have
seen
great
great
improvement
already
in
just
the
individual
relationships
among
various
staff
in
mpd
and
different
parts
of
the
city
coordinators
office.
So
that
is
my
main
suggestion.
J
Is
that
interaction
which
I
coach
all
of
our
newer
employees
to
spend
the
time
building
those
relationships
is,
is
the
most
important
thing
that
we
can
be
doing
to
support
each
other
to
build
trust.
But
beyond
that
there
are
certain
structural
issues
that
really,
I
don't
think
are
probably
necessary
to
go
into
right
now.
But
I
heard
you
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
governance
earlier
on.
In
this
conversation,
there
there's,
as
I
said,
always
improvement,
but
I
think
it
starts
with
the
people
and
the
and
the
relationships
among
the
people.
J
So
the
two
questions,
madam
chair
and
commissioners,
one
is,
I
was
not
involved
in
the
in
the
drafting
of
the
document.
If
that's
what
the
question
is
related
to
the
the
council
efforts,
that
was
a
council-led
effort
and
was
not
asked
to
to
participate
in
that
when
that
resolution
was
passed
as
with
any
major
endeavor
within
either
the
council
or
the
mayor's
office,
we
as
coordinators
office
always
offer
staff
to
help
in
those
processes.
J
I
do
have
two
coordinator
staff
who
are
working
closely
with
the
work
group
and
they
are
supporting
that
work
on
a
day-to-day
basis,
and
then
we
I'm
sure,
as
you
have
heard,
if
you,
if
you
have
been
watching
some
of
the
council
presentations,
there
is
an
engagement
process.
That
is
a
component
of
that
work
group.
That
engagement
process
will
certainly
be
supported
by
communications
by
neighborhood
community
relations,
in
addition
to
to
the
staff
that
are
working
on
the
core
team
with
with
council.
C
Thank
you
with
respect
to
911
operations.
J
Now
I
think
the
short
answer
that
I
can
give
you
about
this
is
no.
There
is
no
industry
standard
across
the
country.
The
longer
answer
is,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
there
were
some
great
ideas
that
came
out
of
the
911
work
group.
J
I
think
that
everyone
from
our
director
of
mecc
to
our
coordinator
staff,
to
mpdu
to
even
as
we
talk
through
with
our
other
partner
jurisdictions,
recognize
that
there
is
room
for
improvement
in
this
area
there
that,
but
it
would
be
a
course
that
need
would
need
to
be
charted,
as
we
have
been
already
starting
to
do
and
we'll
continue
to
do
within
our
jurisdiction.
J
Every
public
safety
organization
across
the
country
is
formulated
a
little
differently.
As
I
talked
about
earlier.
We
have
certain
things
that
we
do
as
a
city
and
certain
things
that
other
jurisdictions
do,
and
so
we
don't
have
complete
control.
For
example,
if
we
wanted
to
rely
more
on
ems,
we
don't
have
control
over
those
things,
and
so
that
takes
a
cooperative
effort
and
would
need
to
involve
other
jurisdictions
in
certain
cases.
C
C
B
Of
course,
director
cotton
is
good
to
see
you
and
thank
you
for
so
much
for
coming,
and
we
have
a
few
questions
that
I
think
were
provided
to
you
in
advance
and
I'll
just
dive
right
into
it.
K
Sorry
good
afternoon,
commissioner,
newborn
and
other
commissioners
chair,
thank
you
so
much
for
having
us.
I
am
joined
by
commissioner
musicant,
and
I
know
that
our
plan
is
to
tag
team.
This
presentation
a
bit,
so
I
think
that,
commissioner,
you
would
plan
to
give
some
context
on
this
question
and
then
I'll
jump
in
as
well.
B
Great,
I
apologize
director
music
for
overlooking
you
as
well.
Thank
you
for
being
here.
L
Thank
you,
commissioner,
and
thank
you
sasha
for
turning
it
over
briefly
to
me,
so
I
just
thought:
I'd
give
you
a
little
bit
of
context
of
the
health
department's
formal
entrance
into
violence.
As
a
public
health
issue.
L
L
Defining
public
health
issue
and
from
there
we
developed,
we
worked
with
the
community
developed
a
blueprint
for
action,
really
laying
out
the
scope
of
the
types
of
prevention
that
could
be
engaged
in
and
had
that
has
been
updated
at
least
once
since
then,
we've
had
advisory
committees
to
help
us
implement
that
work.
I'm
gonna,
let
sasha
talk
more
about
the
office.
L
About
the
council
action
and
really
has
been
up
and
running
for
just
about
one.
L
To
give
it
some
some
organizational
structure
to
build
on
what
had
been
our
youth
violence
prevention,
more
a
larger
role
within
the
health
department
to
make
a
division
out
of
the
health
department,
which
it
is
other
ways
I'm
going
to
talk
about
a
few
other
ways
outside
of
the
office
of
violence
prevention
that
we
have
worked
with
the
the
police
department
and
then
turned
over
to
sasha.
To
talk
about
the
very
robust
work
we're
doing
inside
the
office
of
violence
prevention.
L
So
we
have
worked
on
the
opioids
issue
quite
a
bit
in
the
community
hand
in
glove,
the
police
department
have
also
entered
into
a
an
arrangement
where
we
did
a
mortality
review
so
looking
through
the
eyes
of
police
data
as
well
as
data
from
others.
That
might
have
touched
the
lives
of
people
who
who
died
because
of
the
opioids.
L
L
We
and
other
public
safety
we
have
worked
on
is
through
the
youth
coordinating
board,
which
is
a
multi-jurisdictional
group
that
has
elected
leaders
from
the
county,
the
city,
the
parks
and
the
schools,
and
they
have
community
outreach
teams
that
are
serving
both
downtown
and
some
of
the
northern
parts
of
the
city
that
have
been
very
successful
in
redirecting
young
people
and
and
cutting
back
on
violence.
L
I
am
also
a
co-sponsor,
a
process
owner
rather
with
the
police
chief
on
a
public
safety
priority
of
the
city's
strategic
and
racial
equity
planning
effort,
and
so
we
are
regarded
as
partners
there
in
trying
to
make
progress
on
that
public
safety.
Priority
I'll
turn
it
over
to
sasha
to
talk
about
the
office
of
violence,
prevention.
M
Well,
good
afternoon
again,
everyone
thank
you
all
so
much
for
the
opportunity
to
be
here.
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Musicant.
For
that
background
information,
there
are
a
number
of
ways
that
the
office
of
violence
prevention
works
with
mpd,
as
well
as
other
law
enforcement
entities.
You
know
across
the
area,
and
so
I
think
I'll
give
some
background
on
a
couple
of
them
and
then
I'll
spend
some
time
talking
specifically
about
our
group
violence
intervention,
which
I
think
is
our
most
comprehensive
way
in
which
we
partner
with
mpd.
M
Helping
to
steer
the
work
in
that
role,
which
has
really
been
wonderful.
K
M
K
In
addition
to
the
relationship
they
have
via
contract
with
the
staff
who
manage
that
juvenile
supervision
center,
we
are
in
relationship
on
a
work.
M
Work
group
and
by
you
know
the
planning
process
of
trying
to
come
up
with
the
best
strategies
around
diversion
for
our
young
people,
who
have
low
level
offenses
and
really
may
benefit
from
programming
versus
pure
enforcement
strategies,
and
so
those
are
some
of
the
more
juvenile
focused
ways
that
were
and
involved
with
mpd.
Some
of
the
other
ways
that
we
partner
are
through
bodies
of
work
group
and
leadership
task
force,
our
multi-jurisdictional
team,
which
is
focused
on
youth
violence
as
well.
We
brought
it
over
from
our
previous
work.
M
We
do
have
representation
from
juvenile
command
staff
at
that
meeting,
as
well
as
having
what
used
to
be
the
representative
focused
on
those
school
resource
officers
teams,
so
that
person
is
no
longer
attending
seeing
us
how
we
don't
have
school
resource
officers
at
this
moment,
but
they
were
a
really
valuable
ad
and
continue
to
be
very
valuable.
To
that
conversation
around
keeping
young
people
safe
and
working
collaboratively
through
the
various
jurisdictions
in
the
city,
the
county
and
the
state,
and
keeping
our
young
people
safe
and
mpd
is
a
critical
partner
at
that
table.
M
In
addition,
we
have
our
community
trauma
response
efforts
which
we've
had
work
with
mpd
on
the
planning
phases
of
looking
at
ways
that
community
can
respond
better
to
shootings
and
other
traumatic
incidents.
Mpd
has
been
a
core
player
in
the
layout
of
that
and
helping
to
develop
key
communication
strategies
on
how
the
office
of
violence
prevention
can
receive
information
about
shootings
so
that
we
can
develop
strategies
to
respond
with
community
protocols,
and
I
think
the
last
item
that
I'd
like
to
live
up
lift
up
is
our
group
violence,
intervention.
M
The
group
violence
intervention
is
a
three-pronged
approach
that
looks
at
reducing
shootings
and
particularly
shootings
involving
grouping
gang
members.
That
initiative
started
in
late
2016
and
has
been
a
very,
very
deep
dive
in
partnership
between
what
is
now
the
office
of
violence,
prevention
and
mpd.
M
I
see
deputy
force
here
on
my
screen
and
I
can't
help
but
see
my
partner.
We
we
do
a
lot
of
work
together
in
the
sense
that
we're
meeting,
sometimes
three
to
four
times
a
week,
working
out
data
and
identifying
ways
to
keep
communities
safe,
identifying
those
who
are
at
greatest
risk
for
being
a
victim
or
a
perpetrator
of
shooting,
based
on
police
data,
as
well
as
hosting
several
meetings
together.
M
Both
are
the
shoot
reviews,
so
we
review
every
shooting
in
the
city
as
well,
and
I'm
sure
that
the
deputy
chief
will
talk
a
little
bit
about
this
in
his
report
as
well.
So
I
don't
want
to
steal
his
thunder,
but
in
addition
we
have
an
executive
committee
that
is
chaired
by
our
mayor.
Our
chief
is
also
a
part
of
that.
M
Our
united
states
attorney's
office,
our
city
attorney
our
county
probation
department
as
well,
and
our
united
states
attorney's
office
are
all
a
part
of
that,
and
so
it
really
is
a
collaborative
effort
looking
at
both
the
office
of
violence,
prevention
and
non-enforcement
strategies,
as
well
as
our
partners
in
enforcement
and
how
we
can
bring
about
community
safety.
And
so
those
are
just
some
examples
of
how
we
work
on
a
regular
basis
with
our
partners
in.
B
Mpd
great,
thank
you
so
much,
commissioner,
music
and
director
cotton.
We
appreciate
your
response.
I'm
gonna
go
move
to
the
to
the
next
question.
Please
share
examples
of
policy
level,
initiatives
or
programs
that
the
health
department,
including
ovp,
have
put
in
place
or
planned
that
address
alternatives
to
traditional
law
enforcement
in
the
broader
concept
of
community
safety
and
violence,
prevention.
M
Mystery
music
can't
I'll
jump
in
here.
If
that's
okay
in
public
health,
we
think
about
our
work
as
a
couple
of
different
tiers.
We
think
of
primary
prevention
as
really
being
addressing
the
root
causes
of
violence,
things
like
poor
educational
outcomes
and
communities
where
violence
might
be
prevalent,
ensuring
that
young
people
have
adequate
access
to
mentorship
and
healthy
families.
Really
what
can
keep
communities
healthy,
happy
and
hopeful
are
often
what
we
think
of
as
primary
prevention,
and
we
have
a
number
of
programs
like
that.
M
We
also
have
intervention-based
programs
that
look
at
high-risk
populations
and
are
trying
to
address
those
risk
factors
before
they
turn
into
violence
or
high
levels
of
violence,
and
the
last
piece
of
our
work
is
what
we
consider
to
be
tertiary
work
and
that
is
really
response
based
work
or
work.
That's
looking
at
the
ongoing
cycles
of
violence
and
what
we
can
do
to
prevent
the
repeat
nature
of
retaliatory
violence
in
particular,
and
we
have
a
couple
of
programs
that
fall
into
that
arena.
M
I
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
group
violence
intervention,
which
is
really
focused
on
interrupting
the
patterns
of
group
violence
and
responding
to
shootings
and
doing
what
we
can
to
prevent
the
retaliatory
nature
in
partnership
with
mpd
and
probation
in
particular
of
violence.
And
so
what
that
often
looks
like
is
a
methodology
called
custom
notifications.
M
So
that
is
our
staff
and
contractors,
as
well
as
mpd
having
one-on-one
conversations
and
meetings
with
those
involved
in
shootings
or
those,
we
think
are
high
likelihood
for
participating
in
a
shooting
and
giving
them
a
strong
and
confirming
message
that
we
want
them
to
be
safe,
alive
and
free,
but
that
the
violence
won't
be
tolerated
and
that
there
are
resources
to
help
them,
but
that
the
law
enforcement
partnership
will
hold
them
accountable
if
they
perpetrate
acts
of
violence.
And
so
again,
that's
not
in
any
way
to
replace
the
work
of
mpd.
M
But
we
do
think
that
the
partnership
really
does
have
added
benefit
and
brings
forth
a
level
of
procedural
justice
and
transparency
that
has
been
really
welcomed
by
community.
The
other
program
that
I
think
falls
into
this
venue
is
our
hospital-based
work.
M
We
currently
have
response
teams
at
both
north
memorial
hospital
and
hcmc
hospital,
when
anyone
who
comes
in
with
a
serious
gunshot
wound
stabbing
injury
or
other
serious
assault
from
violence
receives
an
immediate
bedside
intervention
and
services,
and
so
there
may
be
information
that
they're
unwilling
to
share
with
law
enforcement,
but
that
they're
able
to
share
with
staff
from
our
hospital-based
program
we're
also
able
to
provide
long-term
wrap-around
services
as
well
as
basic
needs
that
aren't
often
met
without
these
kinds
of
programs,
and
so
those
are
some
of
the
response-based
work
that
we're
doing
that
really
add
to
both
a
decrease
in
retaliatory
violence
and
a
meeting
of
the
needs
of
people
immediately
after
an
incident
with
violence.
M
L
Thank
you.
I
was
just
wondering
sasha
if
you
wanted
to,
or
maybe
you're
going
to
talk
about
this
a
little
bit
later
talk
about
sort
of
the
emerging
work
that
we're
doing
that.
The
city
council
has
only
recently
allocated
some
funding
for.
M
M
It
is
a
model,
that's
being
replicated
across
the
country
and
has
been
known
to
reduce
shootings
of
up
to
around
40
when
implemented
with
fidelity,
and
what
it
looks
at
is
a
wide
range
of
outreach
and
engagement
strategies
really
focused
on
those
communities
hardest
hit
by
group
and
gang
violence
and
using
people
who
have
their
own
past
and
lived
experiences
in
groups
or
growing
up
in
communities
where
group
violence
was
prevalent
to
do
violence
interruption,
quite
literally
so
interrupting
those
patterns
of
violence
by
de-escalating
the
conflicts
getting
to
conflict
resolution
with
the
parties
involved
in
shootings
and
bridging
the
gap,
and
we
know
that
sometimes
people
who
are
from
communities
where
violence
is
prevalent,
who
know
those
communities
know
those
streets.
M
So
we're
looking
at
having
somewhere
between
70
and
85.
K
People
working
in
various
neighborhoods
throughout
the
community
by
the
end
of
this
year.
B
That's
great,
and
so
that
make
it
to
the
question
the
next
question,
and
so
I'll
ask
it
and
if
you've
already
answered
it
with
the
with
this
additional
work
that
you're
doing
feel
free
to
skip
it.
But
please
provide
information
about
public
safety
reforms
that
the
health
department,
including
opp
ovp,
anticipates
in
the
near
term,
based
on
efforts
or
initiatives
and
comparable
jurisdictions.
M
So
yeah,
I
think
that
that
is
definitely
one
of
the
major
highlights.
Commissioner,
thank
you
for
the
question
of
the
cure
violence
like
model
and
really
ensuring
that
we
have
boots
on
the
ground,
engagement
with
the
folks
that
we
know
are
most
likely
to
be
involved
with
the
violence.
But
in
addition
to
that,
we
are
also
looking
at
work
specific
to
intimate
partner
violence
and
doing
some
audit
work.
That's
been
done
in
other
jurisdictions
to
get
a
better
understanding
right
now.
M
The
coding
for
domestic
violence
is
pretty
universal,
and
so
we
catch
things
in
our
coding
that
are
not
intimate
partner
violence
that
get
coded
as
domestics,
for
example,
conflict
between
a
roommate
or
conflict
between
a
mother
and
a
son
might
get
coded
as
a
domestic,
but
thinking
about
treatment,
which
is
the
way
we
talk
about
it
in
public
health.
We
need
to
know
the
nuance
of
what's
happening,
whether
it's
family
violence
or
intimate
partner,
violence
or
child
abuse.
M
We
really
need
to
know
those
differences
and
so
we're
working
with
john
jay
college
out
of
new
york
as
a
technical
assistance
expert
to
help
us
both
look
at
some
of
those
codes,
as
well
as
come
up
with
some
solutions
that
might
better
address,
particularly
intimate
partner
violence,
because
we
know
the
alarming
rate
at
which
it
impacts.
Community
violence,
as
well
as
how
detrimental
the
exposure
to
violence
can
be
on
young
people
in
the
home.
L
Maybe
I'll
just
add
to
that
that
mentioned
john
jay
college.
We
are
also
long-standing
connection
to
cities,
united
and
the
prevention
institute,
which
are
national
organizations
which
really
help
us
understand
what
is
being
tried
and
what
is
being
tested
and
what
is
working
in
other
communities
and
under
the
obama
administration.
There
were
also
efforts
that
were
organized
by
the
office
of
justice
that
helped
us
do
the
very
same
thing.
L
So
we
try
to
be
in
touch
with
what's
going
on
and
reinforce
our
own
work
by
what's
learned
elsewhere
and
then
share
the
work.
That's
going
on
here
with
them
as
well.
B
M
Sure
I
think
that
some
of
the
cities
that
actually
we've
met
that
are
doing
some
of
the
best
work
have
been
cities.
We've
met
through
the
national
initiative
on
building
trust
and
justice,
one
of
them
that
we
would
point
to
which
is
actually
an
initiative
out
of
the
police
department.
The
group
violence
intervention
is
actually
a
byproduct
of
that
work
and
it
really
does
focus
on
transparency
and
building
trust
and
procedural
justice
between
community
and
law
enforcement.
M
I
think
many
cities
across
the
country
now
are
having
to
look
take
a
hard
look
at
where
we
focus
and
how
we
can
direct
our
efforts
in
a
concentrated
way
and
stockton
had
a
little
bit
of
a
jump
on
us,
and
that
back
I
mean
I
think
around
2013,
their
city
filed
for
bankruptcy,
and
they
really
had
to
tighten
their
belts
and
think
hard
about
what
were
the
priorities
as
a
city
that
they
could
focus
on
and
they
really
landed
on,
looking
very
specifically
and
intentionally
at
the
group.
Violence
dynamic
as.
M
Impacting
residents
in
a
way
that
was
was
troubling
and
disturbing
and
through
some
very
specific
strategies
in
their
national
initiative
and
their
gbi
work.
I
think
they've
seen
real
growth
around
community
police
relationships
and
procedural
justice,
and
so
stockton
is
certainly
one
of
the
models
that
we
look
to.
They
also
have
an
office
of
violence
prevention.
I
think
the
way
that
their
office
of
violence,
prevention
and
police
department
work
together
has
also
been
a
really
good
example
of
work
that
we
want
to
build
on
here
in
minneapolis.
L
Yeah,
I
am
thank
you
sasha,
so
let
me
just
give
you
a
little
bit
of
context.
L
The
the
base
budget
for
the
office
of
violence
prevention
is
1.7
million
dollars
and
there
was
an
infusion
by
the
city
council
to
help
us
create
the
cure
violence
this
year
and
so
that
that
would
bring
it
up
to
to
2.8
million
dollars
over
the
course.
Since
2006
we've
had
a
variety
of
different
types
of
funding,
we've
used
community
development
block
grant
dollars.
L
We've
had
a
growing
investment
of
general
fund
dollars,
we've
gotten
competitive
grants,
we've
gotten
fed
the
federal
level
at
the
state
level,
private
sector
and
through
that
all
I
think
we've
developed
a
lot
of
good
and
promising
initiatives,
but
we
have
never
really
taken
anything
to
full
scale,
so
we're
we're
growing,
trying
showing
impact
in
the
particular
budget
situation.
L
We
find
ourselves
in
right
now
in
the
city,
violence
prevention
efforts
in
the
health
department
have
been
spared
from
cuts,
so
we
will
not
be
recommending
cuts
in
2021
for
that
budget,
and
the
budget
that
was
approved
by
the
city
council
to
modify
the
2020
budget
did
not
impact
the
work
of
violence
prevention
either.
B
We
appreciate
that
we
know
how
tricky
that
is
during
this
time
of
year.
Those
are
all
the
questions
that
we
have
for
your
your
department,
commissioner,
music
and
director
cotton.
Thank
you
so
much
for
for
coming
in.
As
was
stated
earlier,
we
may
have
some
of
our
commissioners
here.
Charter
commissioners
may
have
some
questions
towards
the
end,
but
we're
going
to
move
to
our
next
speaker
and
commissioner
rubenstein
is
going
to
introduce
them.
C
H
Chair
rubenstein
commissioners,
good
evening,
the
first
thing
I'm
gonna
do
before
I
answer
that
question
is
I,
in
addition
to
my
job
here,
actually
do
a
lot
of
diversity:
training
around
working
with
muslim
americans,
because
I
am
one
my
name
is
spelled
wrong
on
the
agenda.
I
know
it's
not
a
common
name,
but
I
just
I've.
Apologized
I've
noticed
it's.
Okay,
it's
it's
not
a
problem.
I've
just
noticed
in
a
couple
city
documents.
H
No,
it's
my
pleasure
to
be
here
so
I'll
start
with
your
first
question,
so
I
actually
think
what
might
be
helpful
is
for
me
to
give
you
an
actual
overview
of
how
we
do
police
accountability
in
the
office
of
police
conduct
review.
For
those
of
you
who
are
unfamiliar,
we
are
actually
housed
in
the
civil
rights
department.
H
We
are
what's
called
a
hybrid
oversight
model,
which
means
that
we
have
staff
within
the
civil
rights
department
who
are
civilians
from
all
different
backgrounds,
and
then
we
work
with
the
internal
affairs
department
of
the
of
the
police
department,
and
so
there's
really
two
major
functions
as
to
how
the
office
of
police
conduct
review
does
its
work.
H
So
the
first
kind
of
vein
of
work,
I'll
start
with
is
the
complaints
receiving
complaints
both
from
internally
from
the
city-
and
that
includes
the
police
department,
but
mostly
externally,
from
the
public,
and
so
that's
a
really
important
function
of
what
we
do.
So
the
public
can
file
complaints,
multiple
ways
by
far
the
most
common
way
to
file
complaints
is
online.
H
We
actually
get
that
we
get
that
those
complaints.
Those
are
then
processed
by
an
intake
investigator
in
our
office,
and
she
comes
from
a
social
work
and
criminology
background,
and
so
she
will
screen
all
those
complaints
and
gather
whatever
evidence
is
available.
That
includes
whatever
the
complainants
provide
us.
If
they
have,
you
know
iphone
video
emails
things
like
that.
We
also
have
our
own
direct
database
access
to
all
of
the
minneapolis
police
department,
databases
and
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that.
H
When
you
ask
me
in
the
second
question,
but
we
do
our
own
investigation
to
pull
all
of
that
together,
just
to
get
a
preliminary
look
at
the
case,
then
that
case
comes
in
front
of
what's
called
the
joint
supervisors.
The
joint
supervisors
is
myself
as
the
director
of
the
office
of
police
conduct
review
and
the
commander
of
the
internal
affairs
division
of
mpd.
So
we
sit
in
a
room
once
a
week
and
we
screen
cases
together.
H
H
You
know
we
have
a
lot
of
spirited
discussion,
as
you
can
imagine
in
in
our
case
case
processing,
but
really
our
job
is
to
kind
of
decide
what
cases
go
forward
to
investigation
and
what
are
cases
that
can
go
other
routes,
such
as
mediation
as
an
option.
Sometimes
we
refer
people
to
training,
so
there's
there's
multiple
routes.
That
a
case
can
go
in
that,
so
cases
that
go
forward
all
the
way
to
investigation
those
get
assigned
and
the
public
has
a
choice.
H
If
they'd
like
a
civilian
or
a
sworn
investigator,
we
have
two
case
investigators
on
staff.
They
have
both
worked
with
the
office
for
a
substantial
amount
of
time
and
those
investigators
are
civil
rights
department
employees.
So
they
will
take
those
cases
and
do
a
full
investigation
and
they'll
use.
All
of
those
things
that
that
we
looked
at
at
the
beginning
of
the
investigation
and
even
do
a
deeper
dive
into
the
material.
H
So
then,
when
they
do
that,
then
those
that
investigation
is
actually
done
in
a
neutral
way,
with
no
opinions,
our
office
prides
itself
on
being
a
neutral
fact-finder.
So
not
unlike
the
court
system,
you
know
we're
putting
something
together
where
it's
going
to
go
to
a
small
jury,
which
is
our
review
panel
for
a
decision,
so
that
the
job
of
the
joint
supervisors
is
to
kind
of
guide
that
case
through
the
system
to
make
sure
it's
complete.
It
has
all
the
information
that
includes
interviews
with
officers.
H
It
includes
interviews
with
the
pub
with
the
public.
You
know
people
who
submitted
the
complaint,
people
who
might
have
been
witnesses
to
the
incident
and
they
do
a
very
complete
look
at
that
when
that's
completed
it
goes
to
that
small
panel.
This
is
the
other
part
where
there's
more
layers
of
civilian
oversight
in
that
panel.
So
there
are
so
there
are
people
citizens
who
volunteer
their
time.
They
have
to
be
residents
of
minneapolis,
they
are
appointed
by
the
city
council.
H
The
mayor
and
they
actually
apply
for
those
positions
and
they
sit
with
two
sworn
now.
It's
going
to
be
commanders
and
inspectors
in
the
past
it
was
lieutenants
and
they
sit
in
a
room
together
and
they
are
their
their
goal
in
that
room
is
to
decide
whether
the
case
has
merit
or
no
merit
for
those
of
you
who
might
be
familiar
with
the
legal
background.
I'm
a
lawyer
by
training
myself,
that's
a
preponderance
of
the
evidence.
That's
one
of
the
lower
standards,
so
it
just
means.
H
Is
there
more
than
a
50
percent
chance
that
the
incident
that
comes
forward
actually
happened?
They
can
only
decide
if
a
case
has
merit
and
that
is
actually
related
to
state
law.
That's
minnesota
statute,
626.89,
subdivision
17
that
says
civilian
oversight.
Bodies
cannot
recommend
discipline,
so
so
they
are
very
specific.
Now
they
don't
all
have
to
agree
and
we
get
cases
that
are
split
in
two.
We
get
cases
where
three
people
think
there's
merit
one
thinks
there's
no
merit,
we
get
cases
in
the
reverse.
H
You
know
two
merit
to
no
merit
whatever
the
outcome
is.
That
case
then
leaves
our
office
and
then
goes
to.
It
goes
through
some
due
process
pieces
for
officers
and
then
eventually
ends
up
with
the
chief
of
police,
but
once
that
review
panel
is
completed
our
work,
our
office's
work
on
that
case
is
essentially
completed.
H
So
you
can
see
what
one
thing
that's
unique
about.
Minneapolis
is
that
kind
of
layered
approach
to
civilian
oversight?
Another
really
unique
piece
is
having
direct
data
access.
That's
something
that
a
lot
of
cities
don't
have,
and-
and
I
can
talk
about
that
later-
the
second
prong
is
really
related
to
kind
of
high
level
research
work
and
how
we
go
about.
That
is
in
two
different
ways.
One
one
way
that
we
go
about.
H
It
is
that
we
help
staff,
a
public-facing
commission,
the
police
conduct
oversight,
commission
that
commission,
through
a
variety
of
methods,
doing
their
own
individual
look
at
cases
that
came
out
of
the
opcr,
but
also
just
their
working
community,
because
just
like
the
review
piano
members,
they
apply
for
the
positions
they
interview
for
the
positions
and
they're
appointed
by
the
city
council
and
the
mayor.
H
So
they
also
look
at
issues
on
policing.
So
I'll
give
you
an
illustrative
example
about
how
this
process
works.
The
commission
at
a
few
years
ago,
was
really
interested
in
seeing
mental
health
response.
They
were
concerned
that
mpd
might
not
be
doing
everything
it
needed
to
do
when
they
were
responding
to
calls
that
involved
people
with
mental
illness.
So
what
ended
up
happening
was
that
there
was
an
advocate
who
actually
showed
up
at
a
commission
meeting,
because
we
take
public
comment
at
the
commission
meetings
that
commission
that
that
individual
said
you
know.
H
I
think
this
is
something
you
should
look
at.
The
commission
said:
yeah
we'd
really
like
to
look
at
it,
so
once
they
go
through
a
formal
approval
process,
saying
we
want
to
examine
this
issue.
The
office
of
police
conduct
review
as
staff
that
includes
myself
will
start
to
take
a
an
analytical
look
at
the
issue
and
usually
how
we
approach.
It
is
to
pull
data,
and
that's
a
nice
thing
for
us
that
we
have
the
direct
data
access,
we'll
pull
and
analyze
our
own
data,
we'll
interview
experts
in
the
field.
H
We
will
reach
out
to
people
who
may
be
doing
similar
work
to
try
and
get
some
different
perspectives,
we'll
reach
out
to
people
who've
been
affected
by
the
issue.
So
if
there's
people
in
the
community
who
are
willing
to
talk
to
us
who
said
you
know
I'm
a
person
who
has
a
mental
health
problem,
I
had
a
negative
or
positive
interaction
with
the
police.
H
We'll
look
at
all
of
those
things
because
I
think
a
hallmark
of
our
office
is
the
idea
of
coming
forward
to
things
with
an
air
of
neutrality
and
using
data
to
back
up
anything
that
happens.
The
end
result
of
that
is
we'll
put
recommendations
for
the
police
department
that
then
we
work
directly
with
them.
So
what
was
born
out
of
that
study,
I
meant
to
mention-
was
actually
the
mental
health
correspondent
program
and
we
helped
put
that,
together
with
the
police
department,
the
police
department
has
been
really
responsive
to
the
police,
conduct
oversight.
H
Commission
studies
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
positive
change.
We
did
one
on
housing,
housing
and
evictions.
How
police
calls
for
service
were
leading
to
evictions?
There
was
an
ordinance
change.
As
a
result
of
that
study
and
the
domestic
violence
response
study
that
we
did,
there's
currently
a
work
group
now
and
they've
made
some
really
positive
changes
about
how
the
police
interact
with
domestic
violence
victims.
So
so
those
that's
one
way,
there's
another
vein
and
that's
called
research
and
study
that
process.
H
There
is
another
vein
called
a
programmatic
audit,
where
we
worked
on
our
ordinance
in
2017
and
in
enhancing
that
ordinance,
primarily
with
council
member
palmisano
but
the
but
the
public
safety
committee
at
that
time,
as
a
group
was
to
build
in
the
the
idea
that
if
we
saw
an
issue
that
needed
to
be
addressed,
we
could
launch
our
own
audit
into
it,
and
so
we
have
that
capability
too.
An
example
of
that
audit
is
the
police
use
of
sedatives
during
arrests.
H
That
was
something
that
was
spotted
on
a
routine
body
camera
audit
for
internal
audit.
We
then
saw
that
went
through
the
proper
channels
to
have
director
corporal
approved,
going
forward
with
an
audit
and
and
mpd
actually
responded
by
immediately
making
sure
that
the
language
was
incredibly
clear
about
not
making
medical
decisions
while
during
arrest.
So
so
those
are
some
examples
of
of
how
we
work
on
accountability,
but
it's
really
two
very
different
functions.
H
You
know
working
on
whether
to
research
and
study,
an
audit
and
then
the
day-to-day
case
work
and
just
for
you
know,
kind
of
a
bigger
idea.
We
work
on
about
600
cases
a
year
and
we
have
about
a
staff
of
six
people
and
internal
affairs
is
usually
staffed
somewhere
between
seven
to
nine
people.
Wow.
C
C
So
I
think
that
you've
answered
the
first
question
about
current
efforts
and
initiatives,
and
we
appreciate
that
the
other
question
is
maybe
you've
also
already
answered
it,
at
least
in
part,
which
is
to
share.
Please
share
examples
of
any
policy
level
initiatives
or
programs
in
comparable
jurisdictions
that
have
been
successful
at
driving,
police
accountability,
meaningful
citizen
oversight
and
similar
matters.
H
So
minneapolis
is
actually
we
are
a
member
as
the
office
of
police
conduct,
review
of
the
national
association
for
civilian
oversight
of
law
enforcement,
they're
called
nicole,
and
that
is
a
group
of
civilian
oversight
from
all
across
the
country
who
stay
in
touch
with
each
other
to
kind
of
share
what
they're
doing,
and
we
have
a
conference.
H
Like
I
mentioned
before,
with
the
data
access,
if
any
of
you
have
been
on
our
website,
you
may
have
used
the
tool
that
is
the
public
data
portal.
Our
office
actually
built
that
tool,
so
the
public
can
have
direct
access
to
not
only
officer
records
but
see
how
we
were
making
decisions.
H
I
mean
I
was
very
insistent
that
we
had
a
tab
that
showed
how
the
joint
supervisors
made
decisions
on
cases
that
is
unique
in
the
nation
and
when
I
go
to
those
conferences
and
talk
with
other
practitioners,
they
are
jaws
on
the
floor
with
how
much
direct
access
we
have
to
data.
I
mean
the
minneapolis
police
department
has
worked
with
us
to
make
sure
any
time
we
get
new
staff.
H
They
have
access
as
quickly
as
possible
and
that's,
I
think
something
that
has
been
a
good
trust
building
exercise
between
the
two
of
us,
but
we
we
have
a
lot
of
access
that
other
people,
don't
so
a
lot
of
the
things
I
hear
when
I'm
in
national
company
is
gosh.
I
just
can't
get
a
police
report.
I
would
just
kill
to
get
that
body.
Camera
footage,
that's
not
of
the
problem
that
we're
dealing
with
and
within
that
group
last
year
we
actually
got
a
national
award
for
our
auditing
work
from
nicole
itself.
H
So
I
think
you
know
my
takeaway
from
this
when
you're
looking
at
the
work
of
civilian
oversight
in
minneapolis,
is
you
have
a
lot
of
good
foundational
work
here?
Can
you
always
take
enhancement
and
support
absolutely,
but
but
you
do
have
something
that
I
can
tell
you
from
just
keeping
in
regular
touch
with
a
lot
of
other
professionals
across
the
country
that
they
are
trying
so
hard
to
build
that
in
their
cities
and
minneapolis.
Has
it.
C
Thank
you
very
much.
We
have
only
about
20
minutes
left
and
we
greatly
appreciate
all
this
information.
C
C
I
I
And
that
is
the
work
that
you
do
I'm
talking
now
with
the
last
speaker.
The
work
you
do
with
the
civil
rights
department.
Is
that
the
same
thing
as
the
police
conduct
oversight
commission
or
is
that
something
different.
H
I'm
chair
rubenstein,
commissioner
schwarzkopf.
It
is
actually
something
different.
We
do
staff
that
commission,
but
they
are
an
independent
body
because
they
are
people
who
are
citizens
who
are
pointed
into
those
positions.
They
do
operate
independently
so
those
evening
meetings
that
they
have
that
you
might
see
or
work
that
they
have.
They
actually
have
one
that
I'll
be
going
to
tonight
as
soon
as
I'm
done
with
this
meeting,
but
that
they
are
an
independent
body,
but
we
do
support
them.
H
They
are
volunteers,
so
for
them
to
be
able
to
write,
you
know
we're
not
expecting
them
to
write
like
a
large
research
project
on
how
to
help
people
with
mental
health.
You
know
we
we
do
that
for
them,
but
they
are
a
separate
body.
H
They
do
meet
monthly.
They
meet
at
the
second
tuesday
of
every
month
from
6
15
to
about
8
15..
They
also
currently
have
subcommittee
meetings
that
occur
about
once
a
month,
so
they're
meeting
right
now.
I
think
about
four
to
six
times
a
month,
depending
on
the
subcommittee
schedule.
H
So
how
the
the
how
it
works
for
them
to
refer
an
issue
to
us
is
they
actually
will
do
it
formally
in
a
meeting
so
that
we're
making
sure
that
we're
following
open
meeting
law?
But
our
staff
attends
those
meetings,
but
we
don't.
You
know
we're
not
an
active
participant,
that's
kind
of
their
space
to
have
their
meeting,
but
when
they're
ready.
H
So,
for
example,
one
of
the
issues
we're
working
on
right
now
involves
the
trans
equity
council
and
they
brought
an
issue
about
hate
crimes
not
being
reported
against
trans
community,
and
so
that
was
an
issue
that
they
brought
to
the
commission,
saying
that
you
know
lgbtq
community
trans
community.
This
is
a
huge
concern.
We
don't
feel
like
they're
being
treated
appropriately
by
the
police
because
they
can't
get
police
reports,
so
they
made
a
public
presentation.
H
The
commission
said:
yes,
that's
something
we'd
like
to
work
on
and
now
that
issue
has
been
referred
back
to
our
office,
where
we
have
data
analysts
who
are
working
directly
on
that
issue
to
look
at
okay.
What
can
we
find?
Do
we
see
that
there's
not
reporting
and
then
reach
out
to
all
the
relevant
parties,
including
advocacy
groups,
that
work
in
the
trans
community,
especially
and
the
trans
equity
council,
will
help
us
refer
to
the
right
groups?
H
We'll
also
talk
with
people
in
mpd
who
work
on
those
issues,
so
we
really
do
try
and
stay
in
that
neutral
space
so
that
we
can
get
kind
of
the
the
most.
You
know
participation
and
talk
with
people
in
a
safe
space
for
everybody,
so
we
can
get
a
good
hold
on
the
issue.
Then
we
can
make
recommendations
about
how
to
go
forward,
and
then
we
present
that
that
report.
When
it's
done,
we
present
that
report
back
to
usually
both
the
pcoc
and
when
there
was
the
public
safety
committee.
H
Obviously
the
pandemic
is
making
things
different.
We
would
also
present
those
reports
to
the
public
safety
committee
of
the
city
council,
because
that's
our
home
committee,
so
you
can
look.
I've
done
presentations
on
the
housing
work,
domestic
violence,
work,
sedatives,
work
like
that
is
all
actually
publicly
available
online.
Those
presentations
that
we've
done
in
the
past,
but
we
also
do
do
them
for
the
pcoc.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
think
this
is
for
mr
ruff.
It's
a
question
about
the
office
of
innovation,
I'm
wondering
if
he
can
speak
to
who
they
are
and
what
role
they
have
in
public
safety
in
the
city
of
minneapolis.
J
Sure,
madam
chair
commissioner,
perry
the
office
of
innovation
led
by
brian
smith.
It
is
a
part
of
the
coordinator's
office
and
they
have
been
in
the
past
pundit
in
part
by
a
bloomberg
grant
and
so
follow
very
much.
J
Some
of
the
methodologies
that
are
promoted
by
the
bloomberg
foundation-
and
that
includes
as
a
part
of
innovation,
certainly-
and
we
alluded
to
this
with
the
9-1-1
work
group,
data-driven
analysis,
pilot
programs
and
testing
of
various
alternatives
and
then
coming
back
with
solutions,
and
so
that's
not
just
around
public
safety
but
other
initiatives
that
they
have
undertaken.
J
That
predate
me
as
a
coordinator,
but
it's
a
team.
They
also
help
staff
results,
minneapolis,
which
is
a
long
time
program
of
essentially
program
evaluation
within
different
departments
and
so
they're.
A
very
active
group.
C
G
I
have
another
question
of
a
different,
a
different
visitor
than
me,
madam
chair.
G
G
I
I
don't
know
if
you
remember
reading
that
or
not,
but
that
was
what
I
read
in
the
paper,
and
so
what
I'm
sort
of
interested
in
is
not
necessarily
knowing
who
that
might
be,
but
what
kind
of
characteristics
they
might
have
to
be
able
to
lead
that
department
if
they
were
to
come
out
of
the
public
health
department.
L
Taking
a
preventive
approach,
even
a
tertiary
preventive
approach,
as
sasha
cotton
described
in
in
the
work
that's
cure.
Violence
takes
a
a
certain
set
of
operating
principles
of
how
you
invest
in
something
now
to
gain
something
later
and
when
we
are
in
a
crisis
and
when
we
respond
to
a
crisis,
it's
very
difficult
for
us
to
simultaneously
invest
in
prevention,
and
so
I
do
think
there
are
great
challenges
at
combining
prevention
and
response
into
the
same
cultural
department.
L
C
Thank
you
because
we
had
some.
We
did
have
some
more
general
questions
that
we
wanted
to
ask
the
group
of
you
who
are
here
and
I
don't
think
we
have
time
for
them.
But
what
we'd
like
to
do
is
ask
you
if
we
might
send
those
to
you
after
this
meeting,
because
they're
more
directly
related
to
the
charter
and
the
language
of
the
charter,
and
so
rather
than
try
to
start
that
now
we
will
perhaps
follow
up
with
your
permission
and
instead
I
give
I
want
to.
C
We
all
want
to
thank
you
again
so
much
for
this
valuable
information
and
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
commissioner
newborn
for
the
last
item
on
the
of
well.
First
also,
I
wanted
us
to
recognize
deputy
chief
force
who's
been
sitting
in
on
this
meeting,
to
thank
him
as
before
for
being
here
and
to
acknowledge
the
wealth
of
documentary
information.
C
J
You
are
most
welcome
and,
with
anyone
has
any
questions,
please
feel
free
to
reach
out.
B
Yes,
thank
you
so
much,
commissioner
rubenstein,
and
thank
you
to
our
our
speakers
here
today.
We
really
appreciate
it.
We
know
that
we
had
a
laundry
list
of
questions
and
you
all
pushed
through
and
and
provided
us
with
some
really
insightful
information
about
your
respective
departments
and
how
they
connect
with
public
safety
and
law
enforcement.
B
The
next
item
on
our
agenda
is
next
steps
and
we
don't
have
much
to
say
other
than
we
have
a
meeting.
We
will
be
scheduling
a
a
a
meeting,
a
weekly
meeting
for
next
week.
I
believe
next
tuesday,
at
4
30,
and
we
will
have
a
list
of
speakers
at
that
meeting
as
well.
Please
take
a
look
at
the
agenda.
G
So
I
I'd
love
to
have
the
opportunity
to
submit
questions.
If
it
makes
sense,
can
two
things
happen?
Can
we
get
the
list
of
speakers
who
are
going
to
be
invited
to
the
next
meeting
earlier
than
later,
and
also
can
we
have
something
set
up
that?
Maybe
it's
done
through?
G
I
I
don't
know
how
the
city
it
guys
would
do
this,
but
to
see
a
running
list
of
questions
that
have
already
been
developed
so
that
we're
not
you
know
potentially
repeating
questions
that
we're
we're
thinking
about,
so
it
those
are
my
two
comments
and
or
questions
and
and
requests
there.
G
B
Great
commissioner
sportszone.
I
I
too
would
like
to
know
if
there's
a
chance
for
us
to
ask
some
questions
when
a
person
makes
a
presentation,
I
had
three
or
four
questions
I'd
like
to
ask
different
people,
but
our
time
is
short
apparently,
and
so
therefore
we
can't
do
that,
but
it'll
be
good.
If
we
can
follow
up
with
questions
right
after
they
make
a
presentation.
I
just
suggest
that
as
an
idea,
thanks.
