<br /> <br /> <br />We continue to work with the Chief and senior managers to identify ways to <br />improve major policy and procedures issues for recommendation to the Police <br />Commission. Examples include a review of the use of canines, warrantless entry <br />th <br />into homes and use of the Taser in light of the recent decisions by the 9 U.S. <br />Circuit Court of Appeals. <br /> <br />Previously I mentioned some concerns about officers making arrest decisions on <br />non-violent misdemeanor calls for service when the officers did not witness the <br />commission of a misdemeanor. These concerns have been discussed with the <br />command staff and, at least from what I am hearing, in some instances officers <br />are taking reports at the scene and providing them to the prosecutor’s office for <br />decision rather than trying to decide at the scene which conflicting version is more <br />credible. <br /> <br />VIII. CRB <br /> <br /> <br />The CRB has remained intact and works well together. While they do not always <br />share the same opinions on cases, they engage in thoughtful dialogue and do <br />make decisions. Two primary issues remain of concern, the public records issue <br />as indicated above and the “closed cases” issue. These issues will be discussed by <br />them when they present their annual report to Council in June. <br /> <br />IX. Complaints <br /> <br />Last time I reported a slight reduction but now we are on pace for being about the <br />same for last year. We had a large number of complaints in March which <br />impacted our abilities to do other things. As indicated above, I hope that we can <br />find more efficient solutions for some of the customer service issues raised by <br />residents. <br /> <br />Also, recently I dismissed a complaint because it exceeded the six month time <br />frame to file a complaint. According to Section 2.456 (1) (j) under Office of the <br />Auditor – Complaint Processing: <br /> <br />“Except for good cause, complaints of serious misconduct including, for <br />example, excessive force that causes substantial physical injury, egregious acts <br />of disparate treatment, or major rules violations shall be filled within the six <br />months of the incident.” <br /> <br /> If you have any questions, please call me at 682-5005. <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />
