9  <br />  <br />They are the community’s representatives who analyze the internal administrative <br />personnel processes of EPD and the external monitoring and complaint intake processes of <br />the Auditor’s office. The CRB continually strives to have open and transparent discussion <br />of cases brought before it and provide policy and training recommendations within the <br />confines of the Oregon Public Records Laws and the hundreds of exemptions that exist in <br />Oregon Public Record law. The CRB consistently meets more than the minimum <br />requirements of the ordinance. At most meetings, the entire board is present. The CRB <br />must evaluate difficult personnel and policy issues that impact community members and <br />sworn police personnel. They have been complimentary, critical, inquisitive and decisive. It <br />is an honor and privilege to serve the community of Eugene. In 2017 Eugene’s system of <br />civilian oversight continued to evolve and develop. We look forward to continuing our work <br />and we are committed to improving our processes in service of the community. <br />  <br />Case Review Summaries <br />In preparing for a case review, Board members have complete access to the Internal <br />Affairs investigative file. These materials include call logs, correspondence, Body Worn <br />Camera video, in-car videos and digitally recorded interviews of complainants, officers, <br />witnesses and others with potentially relevant information. <br /> <br />Board members review file materials, the fact-finding report prepared by the Internal Affairs <br />investigating officer, along with the Adjudication recommendations of the Auditor, the <br />Supervisors and the Chief of Police. During our reviews, the IA investigator is available to <br />answer questions about the complaint investigation. The Lieutenant who supervises <br />Internal Affairs is also available to answer questions regarding department practices, <br />policies and procedures. <br /> <br />The Board follows a case review process delineated in its Policies and Procedures Manual. <br />The Board reviews each case by evaluating and commenting on the complaint handling <br />through the following steps: <br /> <br />1. Auditor’s case presentation. <br />2. Complaint intake and classification. <br />3. Complaint investigation and monitoring. <br />4. Relevant department policies and procedures. <br />5. Policy and/or training considerations. <br />6. Adjudication recommendations. <br />  <br />  <br />  <br />   <br />September 24, 2018, Work Session – Item 2
