Work Sessions and Information Items Work sessions are scheduled periodically to provide opportunities for information sharing and discussion of public safety issues that do not necessarily require Police Commission action. These work sessions may involve presentations from police department staff, other City departments, or other relevant agencies. The commission has limited the number of work sessions and information items to those of highest priority to conserve meeting time and enable some flexibility to address emerging issues. The following work sessions and information items are planned for FY11: Work session on the Downtown Public Safety Zone exclusion ordinance to review the program and make recommendations on its extension Information session on mediation options for officers when receiving complaints Information session on marijuana citations to discover how resources are spent on enforcement Information session on cross-cultural competency training at EPD Work session to establish the Civilian Review Board’s process of referring policy review to the Police Commission The commission intends to continue its review of quarterly strategic plan status reports from the department and other related activities to stay informed of the organizational issues and strategies.
