Eugene Police Commission <br />FY 2006 -2007 Work Plan <br />any, it might have in partnering with the department on this initiative. The commission recommended <br />that the department elevate this initiative to a mid-range project and that the project be expanded to a <br />“comprehensive family violence strategy” to encompass child abuse incidents. <br />In the upcoming year, it is proposed that interested commissioners participate in a multi-stakeholder <br />planning team to assist the department in formulating options to include in the comprehensive strategy. <br />The planning team could look at best practices, including the Arizona State Plan for Domestic and <br />Sexual Violence, as one of its first tasks. The commission recommends that any significant work on <br />this initiative wait until the department receives the consultant’s staffing analysis now underway so <br />that the planning team can make more informed recommendations regarding the allocation of patrol <br />and investigative resources. <br />C.Committee Projects <br />One of the primary charges of the Police Commission is to provide input on police policies and <br />procedures that reflect community values. Over the past six years, the commission has reviewed <br />and/or provided input into eighteen police policies. Last February, Chief Lehner announced <br />department plans to utilize Lexipol, a standardized police policy manual that incorporates accreditation <br />standards, legal requirements, and best practices, as a framework for a comprehensive review of its <br />policies and procedures. This review process would be an interimstep towards formal department <br />accreditation. The commission plans to embark on a multi-year effort to assist the department in the <br />update of its policy manual to help ensure that in addition to professional standards, community values <br />and expectations are reflected. A committee will be formed to identify which policies will be of <br />interest to the commission for review and then will work with the department to provide comment on <br />policy drafts. <br />D.
