A
A
B
A
Present,
thank
you.
Please
let
the
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum.
We
had
a
very
long
committee
meeting
this
morning
and
I
know.
Some
of
my
colleagues
are
just
needing
to
grab
a
quick
bite
to
eat
here
and
we'll
get
here
as
soon
as
they
can.
We
have
one
item
on
our
agenda
today,
in
addition
to
our
regular
committee
reports.
That
item
is
a
presentation
on
some
of
the
vision
and
future
structure
of
the
Minneapolis
Police,
Department
and
I
will
invite
police
chief
Brian
O'hara
to
come
on
up
and
give
us
that
presentation.
Welcome.
A
C
So,
just
before
I
start
I
just
have
a
question.
It
was
my
understanding
I'm
doing
this
along
with
a
member
of
HR.
Is
that
still
the
case?
Because
I
don't
see
the
person
here,
I.
C
You
chair
so
good
afternoon
here
to
talk
about
two
proposed
positions
within
the
police
department,
but
also
to
talk
larger
about
what
the
vision
for
the
structure
and
the
hierarchy
of
the
police
department
as
as
I
see,
what's
best
for
the
city
going
forward.
C
I
think
it's!
You
know
it's
it's
on
its
most
basic
level.
We
need
to
get
back
to
what
the
essential
mission
of
the
police
department
is,
and
we
need
to
ensure
that
the
police
department
is
structured
to
accomplish
that
mission,
and
that
is
you
know.
C
We
are
in
the
business
to
ensure
Public
Safety
in
the
city
on
one
side
and
also
to
ensure
trust
and
accountability
and
constitutional
policing
on
the
other,
so
I
believe
it's
critically
important
that
we
reorganize
the
department
to
accomplish
those
two
essential
goals
as
part
of
our
mission
and
especially
now
as
we're
dealing
with
limited
resources,
and
we
are
preparing
to
get
into
potential
settlement
agreement
and
or
consent
decree
with
the
federal
government.
C
I
have
seen
already
since
I've
been
the
chief
November
7th
that
we
have
been
working
to
try
and
affect
those
two
goals
and
to
try
and
change
the
narrative
around
policing
in
the
city
to
be
present
both
with
Community
around
the
city
and
also
for
me
personally
to
be
present
with
our
police
officers,
as
they
are
out
in
the
field.
C
Doing
incredible
work
to
keep
people
safe
and
I
have
heard
back
as
I'm
sure
many
of
you
have
that
people
are
happy
and
they
are
seeing
and
they
can
feel
this
energy,
and
this
result
and
I
think
that's
something
that
we
have
to.
We
have
to
continue
going
forward
just
to
point
out
the
results
that
we're
having,
despite
having
35
fewer
police
officers
today
than
we
did
last
year.
Our
cops
have
already
recovered
117
illegal
guns,
which
is
35
more
guns
off
the
street
than
at
this
point
last
year.
C
At
this
point
this
year,
where
our
shootings
are
down,
34
percent,
which
means
there's
been
29
fewer
victims,
29
fewer
families
affected
by
gun
violence.
This
year,
reports
of
shots
fired
in
the
city
year
to
date
are
already
down
by
a
third
city-wide.
So
I
think
these
are
concrete
results
that
we
need
to
continue.
We
need
to
try
and
build
on
this
momentum,
because
we,
we
are
starting
to
see
the
results
and
we
have
significant
plans
through
collaboration
with
all
of
our
law
enforcement
partners
and
I.
C
Think
this
is
something
that
this
is
just
the
beginning.
I
think
you
will
be
seeing
even
more
results
very
soon
before
we
get
into
the
summer
traveling
around
the
city
and
being
present
in
community
and
also
at
crime
scenes
I
have
had
the
chance
to
speak
with
a
lot
of
our
residents
who
are
most
affected
by
crime
and
violence
in
the
city
in
their
neighborhoods
and
I
know.
They
know
what
good
policing
looks
like
and
they're
the
folks
who
need
it.
C
The
most
and
I
know
from
my
own
personal
experience
as
a
police
officer
in
Newark.
I
know
what
it
takes
internally
to
deliver
to
them,
what
they
need
and
again
that's
ensuring
that
we
all
work
urgently
with
everything
that
we
have
to
reduce
crime
and
violence.
So
this,
what
we're
talking
about
today
is
putting
in
a
structure
that
is
the
beginning
of
a
way
to
ensure
that
we're
accomplishing
those
goals
as
best
we
can.
C
So
as
we
go
through
this
I'm
just
going
to
present
what
is
actually
the
higher
level
structure
of
the
police
department
today.
So
there's
one
police
chief,
there's
one
assistant
chief,
and
there
are
three
Deputy
Chiefs
one
over
investigations,
one
over
Patrol
one
over
Professional
Standards,
and
then
there
is
a
sworn
member
of
the
department
who
is
a
chief
of
staff
who
also
on
his
uniform,
wears
two
stars
as
the
other
Deputy
Chiefs
do.
C
C
Deputy
Chief
of
Investigations
has
a
bureau
that
provides
the
investigative
function
and
his
or
her
direct
reports
include
our
forensics,
which
is
led
by
a
civilian
director.
Our
special
crimes,
investigations,
our
strategic
operations
and
Intelligence
Division,
as
well
as
our
violent
crime,
investigators,
the
shooting,
Response,
Team
robbery,
assault,
Detectives,
Deputy
Chief
of
Patrol
oversees
the
five
precincts
throughout
the
city
and
I
think
that's
probably
the
folks
that
most
likely
have
contact
with
our
council
members
and
and
our
residents
who
are
looking
for
service
and
community
Deputy
Chief
of
Professional
Standards.
C
This
is
a
bureau
that
has
a
lot
of
stuff.
That's
not
you
know
not
all
of
it
is
so
related,
that's
kind
of
pushed
together.
One
thing
I
want
to
point
out
here
is
our
Internal
Affairs
unit,
which
is
a
critical
critical
function
for
accountability
is
listed
under
the
Professional
Standards
Bureau
and
as
I
get
into
later
in
the
presentation,
I
will
be
suggesting
that
I,
don't
think
that
is
a
best
practice.
I
think
we
need
to
take
Internal
Affairs
out
of
Professional
Standards
and
have
a
deputy
chief
responsible
just
for
internal
affairs.
C
I
think
we
need
to
expand
Internal,
Affairs
and
divide
it
up
by
function
and
and
ensure
that
we
are
in
line
with
best
practices,
so
I'll
get
into
that
a
little
bit
further.
C
So
this
is
the
organizational
chart
that
would
be
proposed
for
a
new
executive
structure.
This
includes
four
new
positions,
but
we're
only
talking
about
two
of
those
positions.
Today
this
is
the
proposed
organizational
chart.
The
new
positions
are
listed
in
green.
You
see
on
the
top
left.
There
is
a
deputy
chief
of
a
constitutional
policing
Bureau.
That
position
again
is
is
not
up
today,
but
that's
one
that
would
essentially
oversee
the
implementation
unit
for
a
settlement
agreement
and
a
consent
decree
and
all
the
work
around
Community
engagement
and
Trust
building.
C
The
green,
the
next
Green
going
to
the
right
is
a
civilian
Chief
of
Staff
position
and
then
the
next
one
to
the
right
is
a
deputy
chief
over
the
internal
affairs
Bureau,
which
would
have
an
internal
affairs
division
reporting
reporting
to
it.
Then
all
the
way
over
on
the
right
is
the
that's
the
new
assistant
chief
position
that
we're
talking
about
today.
That
would
be
an
assistant
chief
to
oversee
Community,
Trust
and
engagement.
That
would
take
both
the
bureau
that
currently
exists
under
the
sworn
member.
C
C
But
it
would
also
have
these
other
divisions
that
were
previously
reporting
to
the
one
assistant
chief,
which
would
include
Professional
Standards
and
everything
under
that,
with
the
exception
of
internal
affairs,
Internal
Affairs
would
be
separate
reporting
to
its
own
deputy
chief.
That
also
reports
to
the
new
assistant
chief
and
then
these
other
components
again
that
were
in
the
community,
engage
Bureau
to
speak
to
Internal
Affairs
briefly
well,
I
know
we're
not
talking
about
that
position
today.
I
just
want
to
be
clear.
C
You
know
what
has
been
done
already
and
what
I
see
as
a
need
for
us
going
forward
when
I
became
Chief,
There,
Were,
Three,
Investigators
assigned
to
Internal
Affairs,
Three
Investigators,
a
lieutenant
and
a
commander,
and
the
commander
was
the
high-
is
the
highest
ranking
person
in
Internal
Affairs,
who
then
reports
to
a
deputy
chief
who
also
oversees
all
these
other
functions.
C
So
the
National
Standard
for
internal
affairs
investigations
is
to
have
one
investigator
for
every
100
sworn
members,
so
we
essentially
had
half
the
number
of
investigators
as
to
what
the
the
National
Standard
is.
So
I
added
three
additional
investigators.
So
today
we
have
a
total
of
six
investigators
in
Internal
Affairs
going
forward.
Should
we
create
the
additional
position
of
a
deputy
chief
with
internal
affairs.
C
Obviously,
use
of
force
by
police
investigations
into
use
of
force.
Complaints
about
use
of
force
are
clearly
an
issue
that
are
not
only
important
to
people,
but
that's
something
that
you
know
is
is
just
is
a
part
of
every
every
consent
decree
from
the
the
last
generation
federally
of
consent.
Decrees,
and
that's
certainly
something
that
we
will
have
to
deal
with.
Even
if
we
weren't
getting
into
these
types
of
agreements,
it
is
a
best
practice
in
policing
to
have
investigators
that
Focus
solely
on
Force
investigations
and
to
ensure
that
we
have
one
Central.
C
You
know
one
Central
area
that
collates
all
the
force.
Investigations
that
that
happen
in
the
department
looking
at
the
department
structurally,
what's
not
on
here,
are
concerns
that
I
have
around
span
of
control
and
command
presence
and
accountability.
You
know,
as
we
go
forward,
it's
very
important
that
we
have
a
much
higher
level
of
accountability
throughout
the
agency,
especially
if
we
want
additional
processes
in
place
as
a
part
of
a
settlement,
agreement
and
I
think
we
have
to
recognize
that
that
takes
people
and
resources
to
get
that
done.
C
C
We
currently
have
362
police
officers
and
157
Sergeants
and
then,
after
sergeants
it
goes
up
to
lieutenants
with
40
lieutenants.
Seven
commanders,
five
inspectors,
three
Deputy
Chiefs.
So
if
you
just
by
looking
at
the
numbers
you
can
see
on
the
bottom,
it's
it's
sort
of
very
close
in
terms
of
numbers,
but
then
there's
a
a
jump
and
there's
sort
of
a
narrow
hierarchy.
As
you
move
forward.
C
So
the
idea
with
this
structure,
starting
at
the
top
getting
a
new
team
in
place,
additional
Deputy
Chiefs
to
oversee
what
is
most
important
to
people
in
the
city.
We
would
then
follow
through
and
look
further
down
the
chain
to
ensure
that
we
have
adequate
management
and
Supervision
in
place.
C
Next,
I'm,
sorry,
okay,
so
that
that's
the
last
slide.
I
can
speak
to
the
two
individual
positions
that
we're
talking
about
today.
That
are
part
of
the
structure,
the
civilian
Chief
of
Staff
position
that
would
replace
the
current
sworn
member
Chief
of
Staff
position.
The
sworn
again,
the
sworn
personnel
that
report
to
the
sworn
Chief
of
Staff
would
be
transferred
to
the
new
assistant
chief
position.
They
would
report
there.
C
The
new
civilian
chief
of
staff
position
will
perform
will
perform
civilian
administrative
functions.
It
will
add
capacity
where
currently,
there
is
a
lack
of
capacity
in
the
front
office
of
the
police
department.
It
will
help
interface
with
other
City
departments.
On
behalf
of
the
police
chief
and
the
police
department.
It'll
help,
you
know,
Implement
administrative
processes
within
the
organization
which
we
have
already
started
to
do
to
ensure
that
there's
better
follow-up
and
better
mechanisms
for
accountability
in
place.
C
This
position
will
mainly
supervise
civilian
administrative
functions,
but
we'll
also
have
the
authority
to
convene
staff
for
meetings
on
behalf
of
the
administration
to
conduct
follow-up
as
needed,
and
this
position
is
really
responsible
for
coordinating
more
effective
information
sharing
and
communicating
within
the
department,
as
well
as
between
the
police
department,
the
city
council
and
other
elected
officials
and
intergovernmental
relations,
and
this
is
just
simply
a
model
that
other
major
cities
have,
including
other
larger
cities
who
are
going
through
consent,
decrees
and
and
settlement
agreements.
The
assistant
chief
position
again,
you
know
we.
C
We
currently
have
a
despacit
sort
of
at
the
top
as
far
as
what
is
needed
and
and
the
amount
of
people
that
we
have
to
conduct
these
functions,
and
this
will
just
allow
us
to
have
you
know:
greater
greater
levels
of
accountability.
Again,
it
splits
the
department
in
half
between
the
operations,
the
law
enforcement
side
and
the
Community
Trust,
building
and
and
accountability.
So
that's
that's.
What
I
have
prepared
and
just
prepared
for
any
questions
that
you
have
Jared.
D
Chief
I
broadly
have
a
question
about
where
we're
delineating
civilian
versus
sworn
positions,
I
think
it's
clear
that
the
chief
of
staff
is
civilian,
but
I'd
be
interested
to
hear
your
perspective
on
other
civilian
either
within
the
new
hierarchy
or
even
existing
so
I
know,
for
instance,
crime
prevention,
Specialists,
yes,
I'm,
seeing
in
this
structure
are
going
to
be
underneath
the
new
Community
Trust
and
engagement
section
and
my
understanding
is
they
report
directly
to
up
through
the
precinct
inspectors
and
therefore
would
be
under
Patrol,
so
I'm
just
trying
to
reorient
how
you're
thinking
about
those
civilian
roles?
C
You
chair,
council,
member,
there's,
no
change.
This
is
just
organizationally
for
reporting.
Community
engagement
is
all
under
one
Bureau
that
ultimately
reports
to
right
now,
the
chief
of
staff
position
this.
This
is
no
change
from
right.
Now
they
are,
you
know,
dispersed
throughout
the
agency,
but
this
is
sort
of
the
way
this
is
structured,
is
sort
of
just
a
difference
between
like
staff
and
lying
Authority.
That's
all
there's
no
change
from
right
now.
D
And
then
a
follow-up
question
I
have
on
our
constitutional
policing
Bureau,
which
I
I
can
I
use
that
interchangeably
as
our
implementation
team.
Yes,.
D
I'm
just
curious
on
how
MPD,
as
a
department
is
going
to
be
working
with
the
attorney's
office
and
then
how
those
interactions
also
are
informed
by
the
office
of
community
safety
like
I'm.
Just
looking
for
those
connection
points
and
how
that's
all
organized.
C
Yeah,
thank
you,
chair
council
member
I've,
been
through
this
before
the
the
police
department
and
the
city
are
a
party
to
a
settlement
agreement,
and
so
what
most
often
occurs
is
the
document
requires.
You
know
the
police
department
specifically
to
have
people
that
conduct
implementation,
and
so
you
cannot
get
this
done
without
functioning
with
the
city
attorney's
office
because
it
is
very
heavily.
C
You
know,
obviously,
legal
and
then
you're
also
functioning
with
either
the
state
mdhr
or
perhaps
in
the
future,
the
Department
of
Justice,
the
U.S
attorney's
office
here
and
then
a
monitor
and
a
team
of
monitors.
So
it
is
very
much
a
process
with
a
lot
of
moving
Parts,
but
we,
you
know,
the
police
department
is
a
party,
but
we
are
also
part
of
the
city
and,
like
I,
mean
to
me,
like
everything
else,
that
we
do
particularly
around
discipline.
You
know
I
can't
get
it
done
without
the
help
of
the
city
attorney's
office,.
D
I
might
want
to
ask
a
follow-up
question
of
our
attorney,
who
is
currently
engaged
in
a
conversation.
Okay,
I'm
curious.
You
know
what
I
see
in
this
new
structure
is
a
lot
of
intentionality
around
directly
responding
to
the
consent
decree
and
what
requirements
may
come
from
that
I'm
wondering
if
the
city
attorney's
office
is
also
thinking
about
your
operational
structure
as
it
relates
to
responding
to
the
consent
decree.
E
A
chair,
palmisano,
council
members-
absolutely
yes,
in
fact,
the
last
cycle
I
think
we
we
came
before
this
body
asking
for
a
new
manager
positioned
in
the
city
attorney's
office,
the
function
of
which
is
to
actually,
you
know,
manage
the
whole
implementation.
You
know
with
respect
to
what
the
city
attorney's
office
is
doing
specifically,
but
also
kind
of
overseeing
the
way
that
the
settlement
Agreements
are
being
implemented
enterprise-wide,
so
absolutely
we're.
Building
that
structure
within
our
office
and
and
the
chief
and
I
have
been
in
close
coordination.
E
These
MPD
absolutely
needs
an
implementation
unit.
I
mean
that's
going
to
be
a
requirement
whether
it's
mdhr,
whether
it's,
whether
it's
the
feds
MPD,
needs
its
own
implementation
unit,
but
the
interaction
between
then
implementation
unit
and
the
attorneys
is
going
to
be
quite
symbiotic
and,
in
fact
I'm.
Looking
at
you
know,
potential
attorney
positions
to
embed
in
that
implementation
unit,
so
that
again
we're
going
to
be
working
hand
in
glove
together.
F
C
Will
likely
be
a
requirement,
a
council
member
of
this,
of
of
any
agreement
we
get
into
that
this
implementation
unit,
be
overseen
by
a
high-ranking,
may
even
be
specific
as
to
rank
person
that
would
report
directly
to
the
chief
of
police.
So
that's
yeah.
That
would
likely
be
a
part
of
any
agreement.
G
G
Again,
okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Chief
I
I
have
a
question
around
timing.
You
know
I
I,
don't
understand
the
timing
of
this
request
for
us,
because
you
also
are
asking
for
positions
at
the
state
and
no
decisions
have
been
made
on
that.
So
I'm
wondering
why
you
didn't
choose
to
just
wait
to
see.
If
you
got
those
positions
and
then
come
to
us,
you
know
and
get
them
all
together.
Yeah.
C
Thank
you
chair.
Thank
you,
council
member.
This
isn't
a
decision
I
made
by
my
own
in
regard
to
in
regard
to
so
there's
State
legislation
that
the
council
member
is
referring
to
that
limits.
The
number
of
Deputy
Chiefs
from
1961.
It
only
applies
to
Minneapolis
and
Minneapolis
is
only
allowed
to
have
three
Deputy
Chiefs
by
this
specific
statute,
so
met
with
Senator,
Latz
and
representative
Jordan
in
St
Paul.
C
Several
weeks
ago,
Senator
latz's
office
legislative
Council
had
drafted
language
to
eliminate
that
requirement
and
that
that
bill
is
now
with
the
with
the
revisers
office
and
representative
Jordan
has
committed
to
taking
the
companion
bill
in
this
in
the
house
once
that
bill
is
introduced
in
the
Senate,
so
that
process
is
moving
and
then
speaking
about
when
we're
speaking
about
just
these
two
positions.
You
know
speaking,
you
know
in
in
concert
with
the
mayor's
office,
the
office
of
community
safety.
C
The
suggestion
was
that
this
structure
should
be
presented
all
at
once,
but
then
I
just
introduced
positions
as
we're
able
to
because
what's
not
on
here,
is
and
has
moved
forward,
are
several
positions
related
to
the
consent
decree
implementation
unit.
So
you
know,
there's
there's
all
sorts
of
things
that
are
happening.
It's
happening
at
different
times,
but
it's
happening.
You
know
as
we're
able
to
do
them.
G
C
If
the,
if
this,
if
for
some,
if
for
some
reason
the
state
does
not,
the
legislature
does
not
repeal
this
law,
my
understanding
is
the
only
alternative,
then
would
be
to
come
before
Council
to
look
to
change,
to
look
to
have
a
vote,
a
unanimous
vote
of
council
to
change
the
charter
to
allow
this.
That's
what
I'm
told
that
would
supersede.
C
Chair
I,
don't
I,
don't
have
any
indication
that
it
would,
but
that
is.
That
is
an
alternative.
If
that
should
happen,
if.
E
Chair
palmisano,
council
members,
maybe
I
can
put
a
little
bit
of
clarity,
so
so
the
state
law
applies
to
Deputy,
Chiefs
and
Deputy
Chiefs.
Only
the
two
positions
that
the
chief
is
coming
forward
with
today
are
not
actually
deputy
chief
positions.
So
even
if
that
law
doesn't
get
repealed
at
the
state
level,
it
doesn't
affect
the
two
positions
that
are
coming
before
you
today
and
I
also
wanted
to
to
make
clear
sort
of
like
the
question.
Well,
why
are
you
here?
You
know
government
structure,
and
why
are
you
here
with
these
positions?
E
Anyways,
these
positions
are
going
to
be
placed
in
the
unclassified
service
and
so
under
ordinance
in
order
to
place
positions
in
the
unclassified
service.
That
needs
to
come
before
Council,
so
they're,
not
Deputy
positions,
but
they
are
unclassified
positions.
That's
why
they're
coming
to
you.
If
the
law
doesn't
change
at
the
state
level,
it
would
not
affect
these
two
positions.
You
know
it
they.
It
would
affect
the
deputy
chief
position,
constitutional
policing,
Bureau
in
that
one
is
not
before
you
today.
G
I
I
just
want
to
say
that
this
Department
chart
has
those
two
positions
in
there,
like
as
a
part
of
the
chief's
plan
moving
forward,
so
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
know
what
the
plan
is.
If
we
don't
have
those
two
positions
that
are
on
this
chart,
if
that
doesn't
happen,
what
is
the
plan
moving
forward?
G
I'm
completely
aware
of
what
we're
voting
on
today
here
with
the
civilian
chief
of
staff
and
the
assistant
chief,
my
next
question
is
about
so
you
currently
have
one
assistant
chief
who's,
the
assistant
chief.
C
G
C
Thank
you,
Jared.
No,
okay,.
G
C
G
You
could
later
on,
you
could
change
who
your
leadership
staff
is.
Thank
you
chair.
Yes,
okay,
which
current
police
reforms
are
you
working
on?
That
leads
you
to
believe
that
you
need
more
administrative
positions
and
how
do
these?
How
do
these
changes
help
with
reform
in
the
police
department.
C
Thank
you,
chair
council
member,
like
I,
said
earlier.
C
The
the
basic
mission
of
the
police
department
here
is
to
try
and
have
fewer
victims
of
crime
and
violence,
and
also
try
and
rebuild
some
sense
of
trust
in
the
police
department,
and
everyone
here
has
been
through
a
lot
and
there
has
been
a
whole
lot
of
frustration
that
I
have
heard
from
people
in
community
from
people
on
the
street
around
both
of
those
issues
and
and
I
think
it's.
C
It
is
of
the
most
importance
to
me
that
I
ensure
that
we
have
urgency
in
the
department
around
both
of
those
issues,
and
so
you
know
to
add
to
divide
the
department
in
half
by
that
mission
and
have
one
person
who
oversees
just
law
enforcement
operations,
24
7
right
that
reports
up
all
those
all
those
functions
for
law
enforcement,
as
well
as
having
one
person
that
focuses
on
all
of
the
accountability
side,
I
I
think
that's
what
we
need
to
do
going
forward,
because
it's
just
there
there
will
be
increasing
requirements
on
the
agency
higher
up
as
we
go
forward
getting
into
regardless
of
again,
regardless
of
any
potential
settlement
agreements.
C
G
But
Chiefs,
so
wouldn't
you
be
taken
more
officers
off
the
streets
with
this
with
this
new
Department,
like
that,
you're
gonna
have
more
people
in
admin
and
you're
saying
that
we
need
more
support
out
on
the
streets.
So
how
is
this
helping
that.
C
Thank
you
chair
this.
This
position,
these
two
positions,
one
of
them,
creates
a
civilian
position
for
chief
of
staff
to
oversee
administrative
functions.
The
second
position
creates
a
second
assistant
chief
position
to
oversee
on
a
high
level,
all
those
issues
around
engagement,
legitimacy
and
Trust
building.
Those
are
what
these
two
positions
do:
I.
C
Go
ahead
Chief!
So
thank
you,
chair,
council
member,
so
we're
eliminating
a
sworn
chief
of
staff,
so
we're
adding.
We
would
add.
If
this
law
passed,
we
would
add
two
sworn
positions:
one
to
oversee
consent,
decree
implementation,
which
will
likely
be
required
by
any
settlement
agreement.
That's
not
going
to
be
a
choice.
We're
going
to
have
to
do
that.
The
other
one
would
oversee
internal
affairs
and
Internal.
Affairs
is
a
serious
issue.
C
If
we're
gonna,
if
we're
going
to
be
for
Real
about
you
know
trying
to
address
accountability
in
the
department,
we
need
a
higher
level
of
accountability
in
Internal
Affairs
and
we
will
need
to
build
out
Internal
Affairs.
We
will
need
to
assign
additional
investigators
to
Internal,
Affairs
I.
Think
that's
I,
think
that's
likely,
but
I
think
that's
I.
Think
that's
important
I!
Think
that's
what
people
want.
G
There
I
have
a
question
about
the
chief's
detail,
so
this
is
something
that
I
wasn't
familiar
with
until
I
received
this
Department
chart
and
I
know
that
you
know
you
have
a
driver
that
was
Award
of
Precinct
4
police
officer.
That
is
now
with
you.
So
can
you
tell
me
more
about
what
this
Chief's
detail
means?
Thank.
C
You
chair,
the
chief's
detail
historically
in
the
police
department,
is
the
office
of
the
chief
of
police.
That's
who
is
in
the
chief's
detail,
but.
C
Thank
you
chair.
Thank
you.
Council
member
I
had
a
sergeant
that
was
assigned
to
the
chief's
detail
when
I
became
the
chief
I
transferred
out
the
sergeant
and
added
a
police
officer
into
the
position.
The
police
officer
works
in
the
office
with
me
assists
with
Community
engagement,
particularly
engagement,
around
East
African
population
in
the
city,
and
also
when
I
respond
on
the
street
and
go
out.
You
know,
as
a
police
officer,
like
the
other
cops
in
the
city,
I
take
a
police
officer
with
me.
I.
G
H
Thank
you,
chair,
palmasano
I,
just
want
to
say
thank
you
chief
for
this
presentation.
It's
very
helpful
in
giving
some
sense
of
mpd's
Next,
Step
I
know
you
have
only
been
in
this
position
since
November,
but
I'm
really
appreciative
that
you're
engaging
us
and
the
public
in
a
conversation
around
your
vision
to
lead
this
organization.
H
I
will
also
name
that
you
know,
since
the
appointment
of
Dr
Cedric
Alexander
in
the
formation
of
the
office
of
community
safety.
My
constituents
have
been
curious
to
know
how
does
MPD
fit
into
this
new
integrated
model
that
we,
you
know
formed
as
the
basis
of
this
new
office
and
I
recognize.
You
know
like
you
are
here
today.
Dr
Alexander
has
not
presented
a
formally
update
around
the
progress
in
which
we
are
making
and
addressing
the
vision
and
goals
of
that
new
office.
H
I
think
the
last
time
we
had
a
formal
presentation
was
in
the
fall
when
we
were,
we
were
hashing
out
details
around
the
government,
restructure
ordinance,
so
I
say
that
in
the
sense
of
constituents
have
consistently
asked
for
these
public
and
regular
updates
publicly
around.
How
is
MPD,
transparently
moving
forward
to
create
change
and
I
will
hope
that
there's
a
commitment
with
the
PHS
chair
and
maybe
other
members
in
this
body,
for
you
to
come
and
give
these
regular
updates
and
actually
I'll
pause
there.
H
Is
that
something
you
would
be
committed
to
doing
doing
regular
updates
in
a
proper
committee
for
us
to
fully
understand
what
is
MPD
doing,
and
so
our
constituents
can
know,
because
I
also
don't
think
prior
to
this
we've
gotten
an
update
from
MPD
since
almost
last
spring.
So
thank
you
for
coming
forward
and
it's
it's
sad
that
this
was
the
the
trigger
point
for
us
to
have
this
conversation.
Thank.
C
You
know,
especially
those
who
are
those
of
us
who
are
seriously
concerned
about
what
is
reform
going
to
look
like
what
is
the
police
department
doing
I
think
we
have
to
be
prepared
to
report
to
council
ensure
council's
informed,
but
also
to
be
prepared
to
do
meaningful
engagement
with
this
around
the
city,
because
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
we're
going
to
be
required
to
to
receive
to
conduct
engagement,
receive
feedback.
C
H
Have
our
reports
from
committees
I
know
chairs
that
have
discretion
in
how
they
enforce
this
in
their
relevant?
You
know,
committees,
look
quarterly
updates.
Is
that
something
that
we
could
have
from
MPD?
Of
course,
in
agreement
with
you
know,
PHS
share
or
patterns
and
practice
subcommittee.
I
think
the
goal
is
to
have
more
frequent
updates
from
you
as
the
new
leader
of
this
organization,
when
you're
talking
about
building
trust
and
just
have
that
moment
of
transparency,
of
how
you're
leading
this
organization
in
a
different
direction.
Yes,.
C
Thank
you,
chair
again,
council
member,
yes,
and
whatever,
whatever
form
the
the
you
know,
the
governing
body
here
wants,
of
course,
yeah.
H
Awesome
and
then
my
next
question
it
kind
of
dives
into
some
of
the
things
that
council
member
Vito
raised
in
terms
of
Dynamics
around
Staffing
and
Personnel
I
I
know
in
terms
of
one
of
the
issues
that
locks
in
Personnel
being
on
Patrol
on
the
streets
is
the
70
30
provision?
That's
currently
in
our
Police
contract.
We
had
a
thorough
debate
about
that
earlier
today,
around
some
of
the
council
members
being
involved
in
that
discussion
around
Police
contract
if
you're
concerned
about
Patrol,
maybe
consider
that
provision.
H
But
in
this
context
I
know
the
provision
also
compromises
fully
Staffing.
Our
investigators,
Division
and
I
will
name
out
of
all
the
concerns.
That's
Raised
To
Me
by
constituents.
It's
the
lack
of
Staffing
in
investigations,
the
lack
of
follow-through
or
follow-up
when
a
issue
or
a
crisis
has
happened
and
they
don't
hear
from
MPD.
So
I
see
the
boxes
here,
but
I
don't
see
any
specific
figures
of
ftes
that's
being
allocated.
H
Can
you
provide
a
sense
of
how
you're
approaching
the
Staffing
of
our
investigative
divisions
and,
if
there's
a
way,
to
get
an
updated
chart
that
has
more
spelled
out
like
Staffing
allocations?
For
these
positions
in
departments,
thank.
C
You
thank
you
chair,
thank
you,
council,
member,
so
yes,
and
as
far
as
what
we're
doing
you
know
we're
very
fortunate
to
have
a
lot
of
help
investigatively
from
law
enforcement
partners
and
there's
things
that
we're
doing
to
try
and
maximize
that,
and
and
thankfully
you
know,
we
have
ongoing
support
from
the
BCA
in
terms
of
Investigations.
C
We
also
have
some
civilian
investigators
that
assist
to
try
to
compensate,
but
what
I
have
found-
and
you
know
every
so
often
you
know
I
get
emails
or
someone
will
call
about
a
concern
regarding
an
investigation
and
what
I've
found
since
I've
been
here.
It
is
not
the
case
that
you
know.
Investigators
have
not
done
their
job.
If,
if
anything,
you
know
we
need
to
ensure
that
we're
doing
a
better
job
at
providing
updates,
I
think
to
victims.
C
It's
not
a
it's,
not
a
question
of
the
quality
of
work,
the
police
officers,
the
investigators
here
are
doing
incredible
work
and
when
these
questions
come
up
and
and
we
convene
meetings
and
we
bring
people
in
that's
what
I
have
seen
every
time
I've
been
here
so
I
I'm
thankful
for
what
we
have
as
far
as
the
assistance
that
we
do
get
from
outside
agencies
and
and
we're
trying
to
maximize
some
of
that
proactively
before
the
summer
to
try
and
prevent
some
of
these
things
from
happening.
It's.
H
Just
clarification
on
that
I
do
want
to
name
in
terms
of
the
the
comment
that
I
made
wasn't
in
regards
to
the
quality
of
work
it
was
regarding.
There
is
a
backlog
and
I
know
this,
because
we
hear
this
repeatedly
from
our
constituents
about,
like
you,
said,
there's
no
following
follow-up,
that's
being
communicated
to
them
when
the
case
is
resolved
or
even
like
what
is
happening
in
the
case.
So
I
would
say
there
is
a
backlog,
and
you
mentioned
in
terms
of
loadship.
H
Basically,
what
is
the
timeline
of
assistance
that
were
we're
going
to
be
receiving
from
these
law
enforcement
Personnel,
you
name
BCA.
That
is
going
to
help
supplement
and
kind
of.
When
does
that
run
out,
because
I
think
that
would
be
important
for
us
to
consider
if
we're
going
to
have
to
make
other
allocations
to
fill
that
Gap.
C
Thank
you
chair.
Thank
you.
Councilmember
I
didn't
mean
to
imply
that
if
I
did,
I
was
just
trying
to
completely
answer
the
question.
Bca
is
embedded
here
and
there
is
actually
a
bill
part
of
the
larger
criminal
justice
bill
before
the
legislature
that
will
provide
them
additional
funding
so
that
they'll
be
able
to
do
things
around
the
state,
so
that
you
know
so
that
we
can
ensure
that
we
maintain
the
assistance
that
we're
getting
also
separately.
C
I
am
dedicating
Personnel
directly
to
the
violent
crimes
unit
U.S
attorney's
Office,
to
do
some
high-level
work
that
I
think
you'll.
You
will
all
see
the
results
of
soon
that
will
help
try
and
prevent
some
of
these
some
of
these
crimes
from
happening.
But
yes,
it
is
definitely
like
it
has
always
been.
It
is
definitely
a
triage
at
times,
and-
and
yes-
that's,
that's-
definitely
something
we
have
to
continue
to
work
on
awesome.
H
And
then
I
don't
know
if
you
provided
a
follow-up
on
this
question,
but
is
there
a
way
to
sounds
like
what
you
said
like?
It
would
be
good
to
have
an
updated
version
of
this
of
Orchard
with
the
Staffing
allocations
that
you're,
making
and
I
think
also
would
be
good,
because
we've
asked
this
a
couple
of
times
who
have
what
partners
are
the
law
enforcement
partners
that
are
supporting
the
aspects
of
each
division?
So
we
take
into
account
like
the
outside
personality
assistance
that
we're
getting
from
other
law
enforcement
agencies.
A
Thank
you.
You
know
I
want
to
just
mention.
We
talked
about
where
we
might
receive
these
kinds
of
updates
in
the
future.
What
seems
appropriate
to
me
might
be
for
all
13
of
us
to
benefit
and
have
it
be
at
the
government
structure
level
here
in
Cal,
because
this
really
is
about
that
government
structure
and
would
enable
all
13
members
to
participate.
If
the
council
president
is,
is
amenable
to
that
sort
of
a
thing.
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair
Madam.
Vice
president,
thank
you
chief
for
being
here
and
thank
you
for
doing
this
presentation.
I
know
that
this
was
sort
of
the
the
Inception
of
this.
Was
these
two
positions
coming
through.
We
have
a
lot
of
positions.
I
New
positions
coming
through
Pogo,
especially
with
government
structure
changes,
but
I
noticed
that
you
know,
whereas
a
lot
of
departments
will
have
one
position,
two
positions,
you
know,
there's
there's
a
lot
of
changes
happening,
there's
a
lot
of
conversation
happening
within
MPD
and
what
leadership
is
going
to
look
like
and
so
I
I
felt
like
it
was
a
good
time
for
us
to
pause
and
sort
of
take
it.
Take
inventory
of
you
know
how
many
new
positions
reclassifications.
I
Can
we
anticipate
sort
of
coming
through
the
department
in
the
next
couple
of
months
in
the
next
year?
I
know
we're
going
to
take
them
up
one
at
a
time
two
at
a
time,
but
that
was
sort
of
one
of
the
original
questions
that
I
had
and
and
I
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
Shifting
factors,
but
I
wondered
if
you
had
had
an
answer
to
that
question.
Thank.
C
You
chair,
thank
you,
council,
member,
my
understanding
the
way
things
work
here.
This
is
it
it
would
be
these
four
spots.
You
know
we're
moving
forward
with
you
know
again
the
civilian
positions
around
consent,
decree
implementation,
but
that's
not
stuff
that
would
have
to
come
before
the
governing
body.
I
Great,
thank
you
one
other
question
that
I
had
and
this
might
be
for
the
attorney
you
know
we
are.
You
know
we
haven't
finalized
the
the
the
the
the
the
agreement
with
mdhr.
Obviously,
we
know
that
the
doj
is
working,
but
we
don't
know
what
their
timeline
is
and
we
haven't
engaged
with
them.
They
haven't
engaged
with
us
directly
with
what
they're
thinking
I
think.
I
One
of
the
things
that
gave
me
pause
originally
and
I
think
that,
through
some
conversation
with
yourself,
Chief
and
and
with
my
colleagues,
I've
become
more
comfortable
with
it.
I
But
one
of
the
things
is
that
you
know
to
have
an
assistant
chief
that
it's
all
in
all
likelihood
gonna
have
some
purview
over
consent
decree
fit
related
to
the
consent
decree
without
having
gotten
that
full
briefing
without
knowing
what
the
agreement
is
without
knowing
what
the
you
know,
what
the
full
picture
is
can
be
a
little
bit
difficult.
I
You
know,
and
I
guess
I'm
just
wondering
to
the
extent
that
it
is
possible
to
articulate
how
does
this
sort
of
fit
into
the
full
picture
of
of
what
were
of
what's
going
to
be
asked
of
us
in
in
these
agreements.
Yeah.
C
Thank
you
chair.
Thank
you,
council,
member
from
my
experience,
both
in
one
of
the
few
cities
in
the
country
that
has
done
this
federally
and
also
then
working
with
other
major
cities
around
the
country
and
actually
I
spoke
to
one
of
the
doj
attorneys
involved
in
in
our
case
yesterday,
I
am
just
familiar
with
the
issues
and
the
requirements
of
these
documents.
They
tend
to
be
similar,
particularly
what
we
refer
to
as
sort
of
the
second
generation.
The
most
recent
consent.
Decrees.
So
yes,
I
mean
I.
C
Think,
aside
from
just
the
fact
of
having
an
implementation
unit
itself,
ensuring
that
we
are
structured
in
a
way
to
provide
the
type
of
administrative
follow-up
and
then
law
enforcement
oversight,
you
know,
will
will
will
help
us
get
to
those
goals
faster.
It's
all
about
coming
into
compliance.
That's
what
these
things
are
all
about.
C
You
know.
Eventually,
there
will
be
some
type
of
settlement
agreement
with
any
number
of
paragraphs
in
it,
and
all
of
it
is
requirements
that
we
have
to
do,
and
the
city
is
going
to
be
paying
someone
to
monitor
us
to
say
whether
or
not
we're
doing
this
stuff
or
not.
But
aside
from
that
expense
itself,
it
falls
on
us.
It
falls.
E
And
I'll
jump
into
chair
palmisano
and
council
members.
As
the
chief
said,
you
know,
you
know
that
we
are
negotiating
a
settlement
agreement
and
we
have
some
good
ideas
of
what
it's
going
to
look
like.
But
what
we
really
really
know
is
what
these
consent
decrees
settlement
agreements
look
like
Nationwide.
They
all
have
very,
very
similar
Provisions.
E
We
know
what
the
issues
are
that
were
raised
by
mdhr,
and
so
the
city
attorney's
office
and
and
the
chief
have
been
working
very
closely
together
to
to
help
the
chief
map
out
both
based
on
his
own
prior
experience
and
based
on
our
knowledge.
You
know
what
sort
of
positions
he's
going
to
need
in
that
implementation
unit.
I
Great
thank
you
and
I
asked
that
question
and
I'm
I'm
almost
done
just
because
I
know
that
there
were
a
lot
of
conversations
prior
to
the
chief
being
appointed
about
what
this
is
going
to
look
like.
You
know
what
what
needs
to
be
done.
I
know.
The
council
president
was
representing
the
council
in
those
discussions
and
I
think
when
I
first
saw
these
positions,
I
kind
of
my
first
reaction
was:
is
this
InStep
or
out
of
step
with
that
and
I?
Think
that
you
know
at
least
what
I'm
hearing?
I
What
I
think
I'm
hearing
is
that
this
is.
This
is
very
much
in
step
with
that.
I
think.
That
kind
of
concludes
the
questions
that
I
have
I'll.
Just
add
that
you
know
it
was
very
helpful
to
connect
with
you
directly
and
to
get
an
understanding
of
what
your
vision
is
here
and
to
kind
of
understand
that
you
know
this
isn't
going
to
be
some
slow
trickle,
that's
not
transparent
to
the
public
of
positions.
I
You
know
my
worry
was:
are
we
gonna
look
up
and
the
at
the
end
of
summer
and
we've
approved
12
positions
and
we
don't
know
how
it
all
kind
of
fits
together.
I
think
this
is
this,
gives
us
a
better
sense
of
how
it
all
sort
of
fits
together
and
I
appreciate
comments
from
the
attorney
as
well.
So
that's
all.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair
Chief,
thank
you
for
coming
today
and
thank
you
for
being
out
in
that
community
and
being
present,
you've
started
to
rebuild
that
trust
and
you're
doing
a
great
job.
So
thank
you.
I
do
have
a
question,
though,
about
that
Chief
of
Staff,
so
you
have
a
civilian
in
that
position
and
I'm
wondering
what
the
qualifications
would
be
for
that
chief
of
staff.
C
Thank
you
chair.
Thank
you,
councilmember
there's,
a
HR
has
come
up
with
a
job
qualification
that
listed
I.
Don't
believe,
I
have
it
with
me,
because
I
thought
HR
would
be
here
to
talk
about
those
specifics.
Madam.
F
Vice
president,
this
is
the
issue.
I
think
there
are
some
confusion
at
the
beginning.
The
human
resources
department,
as
some
council
members
know,
was
at
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee
with
the
formal
requests
for
these
new
positions,
including
the
chief
of
staff,
and
so
those
items
were
held
at
the
Pogo
Community
or
the
policy
and
government
oversight
committee
last
cycle
into
this
cycle.
They're
still
at
that
committee
level.
F
A
J
And
just
one
last
question
so
so
having
a
civilian
interact
with
sworn
officers,
how
does
that
What
In?
Your
experience
is
that
what
you
did
in
Newark.
C
Thank
you
chair.
Thank
you.
Councilmember
no
Tawana
Rollins
was
my
chief
of
staff,
but
she
was
a
sworn
member
of
the
department
at
the
time.
Other
cities
around
the
country,
you
know,
Chuck
Ramsey,
is
a
well-known
Elder
Statesman
in
policing
he
was
high-ranking
official
in
Chicago
D.C
Philadelphia.
He
had
a
chief
administrative
officer
which
was
a
civilian
that
followed
him
to
at
least
two
of
those
departments.
Chicago,
for
example,
has
a
sworn
I'm.
C
Sorry,
a
civilian
Chief
of
Staff,
also
under
a
consent,
decree
Seattle
has
a
civilian
I,
think
they
call
it
like
treat
Chief
strategy
officer
or
something
it's
a
high-ranking
civilian
position.
Baltimore
had
a
Deputy
Commissioner,
who
was
a
civilian
who
worked
in
New,
Orleans
I.
Just
don't
remember
the
title
in
the
New
Orleans
Police
Department,
under
the
consent
decree
who
then
went
with
Mike
Harrison
to
Baltimore,
and
he
was
called
a
Deputy
Commissioner,
but
he
was
a
civilian.
C
And
they
exist
in
these
cities,
not
just
in
these
cities,
but
they
do
exist
in
these
cities
that
are
under
consent.
Degree
as
well.
Thank.
K
K
It
gives
us
a
a
picture
of
what
what
the
department
looks
like
and
I
think
I
and
I'm
super
happy
that
the
way
you
kind
of
tell
us
that
there
will
be
two
different
sections
where
one
section
of
it
will
focus
more
on
Community,
Trust
and
so
on,
and
that's
one
of
the
things
I
want
to
make
a
comment
about.
I,
don't
have
any
question,
but
ever
since
you've
been
here,
I
feel
like
there.
K
There
has
been
trust,
especially
the
community
I
I,
represent
with
I
represent
from
you
know,
I
have
seen
the
social
media
and
Facebook's
of
of
of
of
the
MPD
and
how
engagement
they're
doing
with
the
community
attending
Public,
Safety
and
conducting
Youth,
and
you
know,
and
for
for
for
me,
it's
I
think
that
what
freeform
looks
like
I
think
that's
what,
when
you
have
the
civilian
position
you're
talking
about
and
when
you
have
this
Community
Trust
and
Community
engagement
and
people
coming
together
and
interacting
with
officers
and
creating
that
trust,
Things
become
a
lot
easier.
K
So
I,
look
forward
more
work
on
your
side
and
and
so
forth,
are
I.
Think
that
my
experience,
interacting
with
you
and
interacting
with
with
the
community
and
getting
the
feedback
and
even
seeing
you
going
to
the
mosque
in
cultural
centers,
has
been
a
very
good
positive
feedback.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
A
G
Council
member
Vita,
thank
you,
chair,
Paul,
massano,
just
a
few
questions.
Earlier
Chief,
you
said
that
the
civilian
chief
of
staff
was
going
to
supervise
all
the
civilians
in
the
department
and
I.
Don't
see
that
on
this
chart.
So
is
that
the
case.
C
Thank
you,
chair.
No
councilmember,
that's
not
the
case.
There's
there
are
civilians
already
in
the
police
department,
they're
civilian
directors,
there's
actually
a
civilian
director
who
has
some
sworn
personnel
under
her,
but
no,
it
is
according
to
this.
C
I'm,
sorry,
just
to
clarify
chair
there
are
civilians
that
work
in
the
police
chief's
office,
so
technically
I
guess
those
people
would
be.
Oh.
G
And
then
legally,
can
we
have
a
civilian
Chief
of
Staff
I
I
haven't
got
an
answer
for
that,
but
I
was
wondering
like
based
on
State,
Statute
or
anything
within
our
contract
with
the
Federation
like.
Can
we
legally
have
a
civilian
Chief
of.
E
Chair
palmisano,
council,
member
Vita
and
council
members,
yes,
you
can
legally
have
a
civilian
Chief
of
Staff.
The
the
responsibilities
of
this
position
are
are
absolutely
civilian
related
and
and
wouldn't
take
away
from
the
functions
of
the
the
under
the
Federation
contract.
At.
G
B
G
Thank
you
and
then
my
last
question
is
we
received
the
email
this
week
from
the
city
attorney's
office,
that
assistant
chief
Huffman
is
now
embedded
in
the
city
attorney's
office
and
is
working
on
the
consent
decree.
How
does
that
differ
from
the
constantial
Constitutional
police,
policing,
Deputy?
Thank.
C
You
chair,
thank
you,
council
member,
so
the
police
department
is
going
to
be
required
to
have
its
own
implementation
unit.
They
will
work
in
coordination
with
an
implementation
unit
in
the
city.
Attorney's
office
and
I
can
pass
it
to
the
City
attorney.
If
you
want
to
add
anything
further
to
that.
E
Joe
palmisano
council
members,
I
mean
I
I,
think
that
Chief
explained
it
very
well.
The
implementation
unit
will
be
kind
of
a
obviously
it's
part
of
this
structure,
but
it
will
be
fully
responsible
for
implementing
the
settlement
agreement.
You
know
what
we're
doing
now
with
Chief
Huffman
is,
is
very,
very
wonderfully
helping
us
out
with
with
kind
of,
hopefully
maybe
some
of
the
last
stages
of
our
negotiations.
So
it's
it's
a
separate
thing.
So.
G
E
Chair
palmisano,
council
members.
No,
so
under
the
under
the
chief
structure
there
will
be
two
assistant
Chiefs
one
again
over
operations.
One
over
engagement,
assuming
the
state
laws
changed.
There
would
be
a
deputy
chief
over
the
implementation
unit,
so
two
assistants
and
then
a
deputy
over
the
implementation
unit.
B
A
Sure
I
put
myself
in
queue
here
actually
to
piggyback
off
of
one
of
council
member
wansley's
questions.
A
A
If
you
could
talk
a
little
bit
about
your
familiarity,
your
visits
to
our
investigations
Division
and
then
something
that
we
heard
a
lot
about
with
Chief
Arredondo
in
the
past
was
his
desire
to
implement
Implement
Navigators
and
those
Navigators
really
serve
to
connect
community
and
particularly
victims
of
crime,
with
the
status
of
their
investigations
and
help
keep
people
updated
in
appropriate
ways
and
are
those
Navigators
a
part
of
the
future
of
your
department
and
your
vision
here.
C
Thank
you
chair.
Yes,
I've
heard
a
lot
of
discussion
among
that
I
think.
Actually,
some
of
the
members
here
have
been
at
Community
meetings
with
me
where
this
has
come
up.
Yes,
you
know
that
I
think
that's
critically
important.
The
investigations
Bureau
currently
has
115
members
assigned
to
it.
That's
assigned
to
everything
that
we
do.
That's
Minneapolis
members
of
the
department.
One
thing:
that's,
you
know
the
way
that
this
is
structured
here
based
on
the
collective
bargaining
agreement.
C
Investigators
are
sergeants
here.
That
is
a
requirement
under
and
that
has
been
negotiated
between
the
city
and
the
union.
So
that's
just
a
fact.
It
does
provide
some
limitation
in
the
sense
of
who
you
could
assign
to
conduct
investigations,
because
it
is
a
requirement
that
an
investigator
actually
be
a
sergeant.
H
Thank
you,
Council.
Vice
president
I
just
wanted
to
get
on
record
the
commitment.
This
is
a
question
towards
you
or
just
clarify
you
mentioned
that
you
will
be
receptive
towards
having
more
regular
updates
the
Chiefs.
You
know
that
quarterly
would
be
fine,
at
least
from
MPD,
to
come
to
your
government.
Restructure
and
or
having
government
restructure,
be
a
place
where
we
have
follow-up
conversations
around
the
vision
and
kind
of
goals
of
MPD,
as
it
also
offers
a
community
safety
broadly
just
wanted
to
get
clarification
of
what
you
meant
earlier.
Yeah.
A
A
G
I
I
would
thank
you
because
I
meant
to
say
it.
The
last
time
I
spoke
I
actually
just
met
with
the
commissioner
this
morning
to
schedule
presentations
from
the
Police
Department
fire.
You
know
previously,
we
didn't
have
the
his
department
and
so
folks
just
kind
of
got
on
the
agenda
every
other
month,
but
now
we're
the
commissioner
and
I
discussed
a
more
structured
approach
from
all
five
of
the
Departments.
That
is,
you
know
within
his
purview
and
I.
G
Think
May
4th
is
the
first
presentation
we're
planning
to
have
in
PHS
and
so
I
mean.
Of
course
everyone
is
welcome
to
come
and
join
us
in
PHS,
but
we
did.
Just
this
morning
we
had
a
meeting
discussing
a
timeline
for
how
we'll
have
presentations
from
from
the
chief
also,
but
but
with
the
approach
of
the
commissioner
coming
in
and
kind
of
setting
the
tone
and
then
having
the
five
departments
that
follow
on
to
him
present
on
whatever
it
is,
we've
discussed.
A
Maybe
the
thinking
on
that
changes
a
little
bit
and
we
just
make
sure
that
we
invite
members
all
members
to
public
health
and
safety,
because
this
would
fit
within
that
construct,
but
I'm
not
sure,
and
ultimately
it
is
up
to
the
consul
president
to
help
us
route.
Those
things
accordingly,
so
we'll
continue
having
that
discussion,
but
I
know
that
our
interest
is
in
having
it
open
and
available.
These
dialogues
in
the
Public
Square.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
C
H
Were
you
through?
No,
the
answer
is
my
question:
I'm
glad
that
there
is
commitment,
at
least
from
the
public
health
and
safety
chair
I'm.
Assuming
that
also
falls
underlined
with
council
member
Payne
I
know
I've
asked
questions
about
that,
so
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
May
4th
will
finally
be
getting
May.
H
May
3rd,
thank
you
so
really
excited
to
report
that
out
to
my
constituents.
L
A
L
Council
member
Koski,
thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
Chief
O'hara
for
being
here
today
and
elaborating
I.
Am
a
member
of
pogo
and
it's
nice
to
get
the
continued
elaborate
understanding
of
this.
A
couple
questions
I
had
one
is
I
heard.
You
know
why
we
have
I'm
just
going
to
call
it
two
divisions
just
to
help
myself
simplify
this
on
this
map.
Here
you
know
one:
that's
building
trusted
Community
one,
that's
reducing
the
number
of
victims
of
crime,
I'm,
just
curious!
L
If
you
can
just
walk
through
your
thinking,
you
know
how
did
you
get
to
this?
Did
you
work
with
the
commissioner?
Did
you
work
with
an
organizational
development
consultant
or
other
Chiefs
I
heard
a
little
bit,
maybe
about
working
with
the
attorney's
office,
but
like
how?
How
do
you
go
about
looking
at
what
our
current
org
chart
was
and
then
think
this
is
how
I
think
it
should
be
laid.
C
Out
yeah,
thank
you
chair.
Thank
you,
council,
member
I'm
I'm,
not
from
Minneapolis
I'm,
not
from
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department.
So
certain
things
when
I
come
here
and
I
come
into
the
situation
is
just
very
different
from
what
I've
experienced
before
and
and
to
me
again.
C
The
limitations
that
we
have
on
the
executive
level
and
actually
through
the
Command
Staff
are
are
not
helpful
in
terms
of
having
issues
dressed
addressed
urgently
and
I.
Think
some
of
that
some
of
that
stuff
is
cultural
here,
it's
cultural
in
the
police
department
and
just
you
know,
having
a
structure.
That's
not
based
on
the
limitations
that
we
have
today.
You
know
we're
we're
limited
based
on
statute
and
these
different
positions
and
things
we
have
one
assistant
chief
and
three
Deputy
Chiefs,
that's
it.
C
The
fire
department
here
has
two
assistant
Chiefs
and
seven
Deputy
Chiefs,
and
it
is
important
to
have
accountability.
It
is
important
to
address
issues
urgently.
C
You
know
culturally
I
I
have
just
seen
things
here
and
I've
I've
changed
some
processes
already
around
notifications.
I
recognize
I
am
different,
I'm
different
than
what
people
have
experienced
here.
The
first
murder
that
happened
in
the
city
was
on
North
Lindale
Avenue,
just
just
passed.
The
McDonald's
and
I
went
to
the
scene
right
after
it
happened
and
I
beat
the
detectives
and
everybody
else
there
and
some
folks
from
Community
were
there.
C
There
were
people
that
were
upset
that
a
young
person
had
been
killed
on
a
Saturday
morning
like
11
30
in
the
morning,
and
I
actually
spoke
to
some
of
them
that
were
recording
and
filming
and
posting
some
of
this
stuff
on
Facebook
and
people
were
upset
because
they
felt
that
the
police
department
here
had
normalized
what
happened
that
this
was
just
okay,
that
because
people
were
mad,
that
a
man
was
tortured
to
death
by
police
and
people
were
upset
about
that
they
felt
like
you
know,
people
were
upset
about
that.
C
One
thing,
so
cops
kind
of
you
know,
lost
their
desire
to
try
and
address
these
problems
urgently
and
I
told
those
guys
you
know
I
agree.
We
need
to
be
urgent
about
all
of
this
stuff
and
I
told
them
that's
why
I
am
here
personally
and
not
just
them,
but
the
cops
that
I've
seen
at
that
scene
and
dozens
of
others.
C
Since
then
have
told
me,
we
have
never
seen
a
police
chief
come
to
a
scene
like
this,
unless
a
police
officer
had
fired
their
gun,
so
it
starts
with
me,
I
believe,
in
what
we're
doing.
I
wouldn't
be
here
away
from
my
sons,
away
from
my
wife,
if
I
didn't
believe
this
is
absolutely
necessary
and
there's
nothing
more
important
in
my
profession
on
Earth
than
to
try
and
fix
this
stuff
today.
That's
why
I'm
here
and
so
I
think
we
got
to
get
back
to
basics.
C
Here
we
got
to
get
back
to
we're,
trying
to
have
fewer
victims
of
crime
and
we're
trying
to
build
trust
and
legitimacy
in
our
community,
especially
in
places
again
that
not
only
experience
most
of
the
most
serious
crime.
They
also
experience
the
policing
itself,
the
most
and,
what's
incredible,
is
despite
all
of
that
there's
so
many
people
in
this
city,
especially
in
North
Minneapolis
that
are
so
loving
and
so
supportive
of
police.
They
just
want
good
policing.
C
So
that
is
my
thinking
and
yes,
it's
it's
been
in
consultation
with
with
everyone,
since
we
since
I
first
got
here
since
we
first
started
and
thinking
about
these
things,
but
clearly
again
we
need
we
need
a
leadership
structure
in
place
that
can
deliver
the
type
of
accountability
and
a
sense
of
urgency
around
these
issues.
L
Thank
you,
I'm
hearing
that
a
lot
of
it
has
come
from
just
the
experience
that
you've
had
coming
from
another
state
into
the
city.
So
it's
also
helpful
for
me
to
just
understand
that
context
of
like
how
you
build
this
framework
out
one
other
follow-up.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
get
clarity
that,
if
plan
you
know
I'm
thinking
about
Plan
B
here.
If
those
two
roles
I
know
we're
talking
about
the
two
roles
that
we
can
Define.
L
But
if
those
two
roles
do
not,
you
know,
the
state
legislature
does
not
go
into
the
way
that
you
want.
My
understanding
right
now
is
Plan
B.
Is
that
we
as
a
council,
your
ask
would
be
for
us
to
change
the
charter.
C
Thank
you,
Joe.
Thank
you,
councilmember
I'm,
not
saying
that's
necessarily
Plan
B
I.
Would
you
know
I
would
talk
to
the
commissioner.
I
would
talk
to
the
mayor's
office
what
they
think
that
is,
that
is
an
option.
I
just
know,
I
know,
for
example,
you
know.
For
example,
the
deputy
chief
of
constitutional
policing
will
have
to
have
something
on
that
level.
We'll
have
to
create
something
to
to
report
on
that
level.
It
may
have
to
be
something
different,
we'll
have
to
come
up
with
something
different.
C
Maybe
it'll
have
to
be
a
commander
position.
If
we
can't
do
that
and
that'll
have
to
be
something
that
we
work
out
within
a
settlement
agreement
so
yeah,
you
know,
I
do
believe
this
is
what's
best
but
again
we'll
have
to
figure
this
out
as
we
go.
You
know
in
in
terms
of
what
is
best
to
to
provide
this
service.
G
Thank
you,
chair,
Koski,
I'm,
Chief
I
really
am
struggling
to
understand
how
these
positions
are
going
to
make
these
extremely
significant
changes
that
you
are
saying
needs
to
happen
in
community
I,
really
don't
understand
how
a
chief
of
staff
and
some
administrative
positions
are
going
to
really
make
the
impact
that
you're
saying
that
it
needs
to
make
this.
This
feels
like
a
word
salad.
G
This
feels,
like
you,
know,
like
you're,
just
kind
of
putting
something
out
there,
but
I'm
not
really
understanding
how
this
is
working
for
one
of
the
things
I
heard
a
lot
with
within
the
department
was
how
top-heavy
the
administration
was
and
like,
although
I
appreciate
you
being
all
that
crime
scenes,
you
know,
I'm
talking
to
the
community
I
think
what's
most
important
is
that
a
chief
is
chief,
a
chief
is
doing
administrative
work,
is
you
know,
selecting
administrative
Staffing,
and
these
things
aren't
hap.
G
C
Thank
you
chair.
Thank
you,
councilmember.
In
terms
of
the
department
being
top-heavy,
there
are
362
police
officers
and
157
Sergeants
for
a
ratio
of
one
Sergeant
for
every
two
police
officers,
above
that
there
are
40
lieutenants
and
then
seven
commanders,
five
inspectors,
three
assistant
Chiefs,
one
assistant
chief
and
the
chief.
C
So
it
is,
it
is
just
not
stratified
based
off
of
the
numbers.
It
is
heaviest
on
the
bottom.
In
the
bottom,
two
ranks:
that's
that's.
Those
are
just
the
numbers.
G
But
the
department
is
designed
to
have
more
cops
out
on
the
streets.
It
like
it's
not
designed
to
have
300
people
in
the
office
right
and
it's
been
functioning.
This
way
I
mean
not
in
the
best,
but
these
two
positions
are
not
going
to
change
anything
that
we've
had
discussions
about
or
the
four
positions
anything
that
we've
had
discussions
about
when
it
comes
to
police
reforms
or
police
account,
you
keep
using
the
word:
accountability
or
police
accountability.
Adding
these
four
positions,
I'm
really
struggling
to
see
how
that's
going
to
help
that
thank.
C
You
chair,
thank
you
councilmember.
We
will
have
this
as
a
part
of
the
settlement
agreement.
You
know
if
you
look
at
any
consent:
decrees
that
are
public.
There
are
sections
on
supervision
and
accountability,
and
it
requires
certain
positions
to
do
certain
things.
I
am
not
saying
that
these
two
new
positions
are
a
part
of
that.
However,
supervision
is
just
a
necessary
function
of
providing
accountability.
C
You
know
I'm
happy
to
talk
about
it
more.
If
you
know
there
are
like
specific
questions
around
it,
but
we
will
be
required
to
do
things
at
a
higher
level
and
just
the
way
that
it's
structured
right
now,
they're
just
too
many
things
that
come
I
think
into
one
person,
I
think
Internal
Affairs
is
serious
enough
that
it
needs
its
own
deputy
chief
over
it.
I
think
investigating
use
of
force
is
serious
enough
that
we
should
have
our
own
component
of
internal
affairs
to
do
that
and
I
think
consent.
C
Decree
implementation
is
serious
enough
that
the
person
who
oversees
that
should
be
a
deputy
chief.
So
that's
that's
that's
what
I
believe.
A
M
Thank
you,
chair,
Chief,
appreciate
you
coming
in
and
answering
our
questions
and
explaining
kind
of
what
you
what
you're
envisioning
with
these
these
new
positions.
M
I
know
it's
taken
me
a
little
while
to
to
wrap
my
head
around
what
how
these
positions
and
these
titles
are
going
to
translate
into
impact
and
actualize
or
realize
changes,
and
only
time
will
tell
how
how
these
things
ultimately
work
out
at
the
end
of
the
day,
but
both
from
from
your
presentation
and
then
the
the
discussion
from
colleagues
I
feel
like
I,
have
a
much
better
understanding
of
of
what
you're
trying
to
do
and
and
can
go
back
and
and
explain
this
to
to
to
constituents
who
are
asking
similar
questions
so
I
I
I
can
I
can
really
I
really
appreciate
some
of
the
the
changes
on
you
know
having
having
deputy
chief,
that's
focused
more
Inward
and
one
that's
focused
on
Community,
Trust,
building
and
and
engagement.
M
I
know
I
at
any
given
moment,
have
a
a
laundry
list
of
of
cases
that
are
moving
in
my
ward,
where
the
the
the
bottleneck
on
it
is
nobody's
talking
to
the
police,
and
that's
why
we
haven't
been
able
to
to
resolve
an
ongoing
investigation
and
each
week
I'm
having
the
same
exact
conversation
with
the
impacted
family
members.
That's
like
oh
I'm,
sorry,
I,
don't
you
know
I,
don't
have
anything
else.
The
police
doesn't
have
anything
else.
M
Nobody's
talking
to
them
and
I
can
I
can
appreciate
that
that
the
the
goal
here
is
to
to
fundamentally
shift
the
type
of
relationship
that
we
have
with
with
Minneapolis
residents
and
and
that
the
police
department
has
with
with
Minneapolis
residents,
I
I
think
my
I,
you
know
a
lot
more
about
consent,
decree
implementation
than
than
anyone
else
here
does
I
hope,
I'm
hoping
you
can
just
kind
of
speak
to
the
importance
of
having
someone
having
a
deputy
chief,
overseeing
implementation
and
the
the
root
of
my
question
is
you
know,
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
we're
creating
these
new
positions.
M
I
know
that
the
the
the
settlement
agreement
is
going
to
cost
a
lot
of
money
to
the
city
and
I
want
I,
want
and
I
think
everyone
here
wants
us
to
get
in
compliance
and
meet
the
requirements
of
that
agreement,
so
that
we
don't
end
up
paying
for
a
really
large
settlement
agreement.
For
many
many
years
into
the.
C
Future
yeah
thank
you,
chair.
Thank
you,
councilmember
I
think
we
should
think
about
it.
This
way
this
structure
communicates
what
we
think
is
important.
If
we
don't
think
consent
degree
is
that
important?
C
I
know
we
won't
be
able
to
do
that,
because
I
know
people
would
not
agree
to
it
and
that's
not
how
these
things
actually
happen
in
other
cities,
but
I
think
you
know
how
we
communicate.
What
we
think
we
should
be
doing
is
communicated
on
this
chart
again,
if
we're
supposed
to
be
here
to
have
operations
to
reduce
crime
and
also
have
things
done,
to
build
trust
and
have
accountability.
C
I
think
that's
how
the
department
should
be
structured
if
we're
serious
about
consent,
decree
implementation,
we
should
be
communicating
that
not
just
the
community
but
in
the
department
that
is
a
significant
status
in
the
department,
as
well
as
internal
affairs,
I,
think
that
deserves
high
level.
Accountability
on
the
level
that's
commensurate
with
the
position,
because
I
think
I
think
that's
what
the
people
in
in
this
city
would
want
and
expect
us
to
do,
and
I
just
think
that
this
this
structure
communicates
what
we
believe
is
actually
important.
M
Great
and
so
I'm
I'm
walking
away
understanding
like
you
have
this
at
this
rank,
because
you
believe
that
it
will
help
us
meet
the
requirements
of
of
a
settlement
agreement
and
then
my
just
quick
follow-up.
The
the
four
new
positions.
M
Where
is
the
the
funding
for
that
going
to
come
from?
Is
it
within
the
existing
Police
Department
budget,
or
is
it
coming
from
somewhere
else?
Thank.
C
You
chair,
thank
you,
council
member.
Yes,
we
have
plenty
of
funding
for
sworn
personnel
right.
It's.
N
Goodman,
thank
you,
madam
chair
I'll,
be
very
brief,
because
this
has
been
a
very
long
day.
I
just
want
to
summarize
what
I've
heard
to
make
sure
I
can
repeat
it
at
my
neighborhood
meeting
tonight.
One
position
is
putting
someone
at
a
very
high
level
in
charge
of
what
will
be
the
results
of
the
consent
decree,
including
all
of
these
things,
underneath
it
procedural
Justice
background,
Community,
engagement,
chaplain
program,
etc,
etc.
Is
that
correct?
Thank.
N
Because
that's
going
to
be
a
different
person,
yes,
but
we
don't
have
that
position
right
now.
Yes,
so
what
we're
being
asked
to
do
is
put
in
this
position?
That's
in
charge
of
Community
Trust
and
engagement,
correct,
that's
one,
and
then
the
second
one
is
making
the
chief
of
staff
a
civilian
instead
of
a
sworn
officer.
Yes,
yes,
that
is
all
that's
in
front
of
us
right
now,
yes,
going
forward.
What
might
be
in
front
of
us
is
adding
someone
under
constitutional
policing
Bureau.
Is
that
the
one
that
is
going
to
be
dealing
with
consent?
N
Decree,
yes,
I,
would
agree
that
should
be
a
high
level
position.
That
would
be
a
slap
in
the
face
to
have
it
be
a
sergeant.
Although
the
sergeants
are
awesome,
I'm
not
saying
they
are
not,
but
I
think
it
should
be
at
a
high
level.
I
think
the
public
will
be
demanding
it
at
a
high
level
and
the
last
one
is
moving
Internal
Affairs
out
as
its
own
thing
as
we're
working
through
this
new
process
that
we're
putting
together
these
last
for
for
holding
police
accountable
under
the
civilian
citizens
and
internal
processes.
N
Okay,
so
the
two
were
is
demoting,
basically
or
not
demoting,
but
creating
a
civilian
position
to
be
Chief
of
Staff,
not
a
sworn
position,
freeing
up
a
sworn
position
and
putting
someone
in
charge
of
all
of
these
Community
things.
That's
all
we're
being
asked
to
do
and
it's
a
receiving
file
by
the
way.
It's
not
like
a
yes
or
no.
We
don't
have
the
power
to
say
no,
but
I
appreciate
you
being
here
and
I,
really
appreciate:
council
member
Vita,
taking
these
issues
up
in
committee
for
anyone
who
would
want
to
hear
it.
A
I
I
It
felt
inappropriate
to
then
just
forward
without
the
presentation
that
being
said,
I
don't
think
that
we
need
a
full
cycle
in
order
to
make
a
decision
on
this,
and
so,
given
that
we've
had
this
presentation,
we've
been
able
to
have
I
think
a
really
good
discussion
on
this
topic.
My
plan
for
Thursday
and
I
want
to
notice
this
for
the
public
and
I
want
to
notice
this,
for
my
colleagues
is
to
discharge
these
two
items
from
committee.
I
We
will
need
nine
votes
in
order
to
do
so
and
and
I
know
that
there's
not
a
guarantee
on
where
people
are
falling
on
these
positions,
but
I
think
that
we
at
least
have
enough
information
now
to
make
a
decision
on
these
positions
and
I
really
want
to
appreciate
councilmember
Goodman
for
sort
of
summarizing
what
the
position,
what
the,
what
the
two
positions
are
going
to
be
that
before
us
on
Thursday
and
also
what
the
what
the
potential
is
and,
of
course,
I
want
to
thank
the
chief
for
coming
through
and
giving
this
if
I
had
to
say
anything
just
just
before
we
close.
I
If
I
can
you
know,
I
came
in
I'm
someone
who
is.
You
know,
based
on
my
time
in
office
and
and
experience
here,
I
come
in
with
a
lot
of
skepticism
around
what
MPD
leadership
is
gonna.
It
should
look
like
what
will
be
effective.
I
You
know
I've
gone
through
my
UPS
and
ups
and
downs
in
terms
of
feeling,
like
change
is
possible
within
the
department
and
at
times
feeling
like
change,
isn't
possible
within
the
department,
and
so,
while
you
know,
I
might
ultimately
be
landing
in
a
different
place
than
councilmember
Vita
on
this
issue,
I
really
really
share
a
lot
of
councilmember
Vita's
original
concerns
about
what
we're
doing
here
you
know.
Are
we
creating
a
top
heavy
institution?
I
You
know
to
distract
from
the
fact
that
we're
having
trouble
with
you
know
recruiting
Rank
and
file
I.
That
was
a
that
was
a
thought
that
passed
my
mind
and
I
think
that
I
think
through
conversations
with
you,
we
had
one
conversation
in
my
office
and
we
were
able
to
grab
coffee
as
a
follow-up.
I
I
think
that
you
really
made
a
compelling
case
for
why
that
isn't
what
the
vision
is
moving
forward
and
that
we're
doing
much
more
than
that
and
and
that
this
is
this,
is
the
breakdown
so
I
appreciate
the
time
and
I
appreciate
and
I
hope
to
to
do
more
follow-up
in
the
past
in
the
future.
On
on
on
these
other
positions
and
just
on
all
things,
Public
Safety,
so
again,
thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
for
my
colleagues,
I'll
be
discharging
those
items
when
we
get
to
Thursday.
A
Thank
you
there.
Any
final
thoughts
I
want
to
mention
that
clerk
Carl
just
sent
us
individually
that
collectively
as
a
body
the
position
reports
from
HR
it's
at
the
top
of
your
email
here
and
for
the
public.
It's
it's
in
our
limbs,
file
online
Chief
I
want
to
thank
you
for
being
here.
Thank
you
for
handling
our
discussion
and
and
allowing
this
to
be
under
tremendous
scrutiny.
A
It's
what
the
public
deserves
and
seeing
no
further
discussion,
I'll
direct
the
clerk
to
file
this
report.
Next,
we
will
move
on,
and
the
last
thing
on
our
agenda
today
is
to
receive
reports
from
the
standing
committees
on
matters
that
will
be
considered
by
the
full
Council.
This
Thursday
we'll
start
with
the
business
inspections,
housing
and
zoning
committee
chaired
by
council
member
Goodman.
N
Thank
you,
madam
vice
president
there'll
be
17
items
coming
forward
for
us
on
Thursday
item.
One
is
approving
a
license,
as
is
item
two
item.
Three
is
moving
to
delete
the
item
from
the
agenda
because
the
applicant
is
withdrawn
their
application.
That
will
probably
be
news
to
members
of
the
committee,
but
a
happy
news
for
some
of
the
members
of
the
committee
as
we
had
voted
to
deny
it,
and
so
now
it's
being
withdrawn
from
request
item
number
four
is
Grants
granting
an
appeal.
This
is
a
very
interesting
issue.
N
This
is
one
of
the
challenges
that
happens
when
we
don't
have
our
comp
plan
and
our
zoning
aligned.
This
is
something
that
would
have
been
allowed
for
spyhouse
coffee
under
a
completed
2040
plan
implementation
that
has
not
been
allowed
as
a
result
of
it,
and
so
we
granted
the
appeal
I
want
to
thank
councilmember
Payne
for
coming
to
committee.

the
same
thing
from
the
Metropolitan
Council
and
12
is

money.
