<br />~9.!_~9.~_ Complaint System o:~~__<2!'yman Oversight R~_~ommendations <br /> <br />5, Who decides the outcome of my case and what if! disagree? <br /> <br />In an effort to achieve the best possible outcome, the proposed oversight system offers <br />rnultipk resolution options. Tn reviewing your complaint, the auditor will determine ifyoUT <br />case should be handled at the line supervisor level, is appropriate for alternative resolution, or <br />requires a misconduct investigation. If an intcmal investigation is required, the auditor will <br />monitor the case and develop an adjudication recommendation. Ultimately, the Chief of <br />Police \vill determine the disposition of internal investigations and if the allegation is <br />sustained, what level of discipline is warranted. If you disagree with the outcome, you can <br />request tbat the review board take another look at your case to ensure that the investigation <br />was thorough and fair and that the adjudication decision was consistent v.:ith the facts of the <br />case. <br /> <br />6. Isn't subpoena power necessary to compel police officers to provide infom1stion needed by <br />the board to review my case? <br /> <br />The review board wili have access to the full investigative file, which "vin include taped <br />interviews with the involved officers. Therefore, the commission determined that compelling <br />testimony ,'vas unnecessary to access tbe informatlon needed to review an investigation. <br /> <br />7. How do! know what type of discipline occurred in my case? <br /> <br />You will be notified of the adjudication decision and if discipline will be imposed. However, <br />the type of discipline cannot he disclosed. Oregon public records law dictate that employee <br />discipline records be treated confidentially and are not open to the public. The auditor will <br />develop an annual report that will show the number and type of allegations investigated, the <br />adjudication decisions, and type of discipline rendered. In this way, the public will have <br />access to statistical information that explains the outcome of investigations and meets <br />confidentiality requirements. <br /> <br />8. Does this model require s vote to implement? <br /> <br />An amendment to the existing city charter will be required to enable the City COlUlcil to hire <br />the auditor and appoint review board members. City charter amendments require an <br />affinnative vote of the public. However, if the charter amendment vote fails, the model can <br />be implemented under the City Manager's purview with largely the same role and <br />responsibUities. <br /> <br />9. How much will this system cost? <br /> <br />Once the oversight model is finalized, a budget will be developed that includes staffing fbr <br />the auditor's office (approximately 3 FTE). Other costs associate-d with the model's <br />implementation include additional investigative capacity in the internal affairs unit, and <br />training and other requisite support tor the board to operate effectively. <br /> <br />10. Will the police union oppose a civifian oversight system in Eugene? <br /> <br />The Eugene Police Employees Association (EPEA) has voiced support for additional <br />oversight that is accountable to the public and respectful of the rights of police oHicers. The <br />EPEA has a responsibility to ensure that the due process rights of its membership are <br /> <br />24 <br />
