BOARD'S RESPONSIBILITY: Under the City Code of the City of Iowa City, the Board's responsibilities are as follows: 1. The Board forwards all complaints to the Police Chief, who completes an investigation. (Iowa City Code Section 8-8-7(A).) 2. When the Board receives the Police Chiefs report, the Board must select one or more of the following levels of review, in accordance with Iowa City Code Section 8-8-7(B)(1): a. On the record with no additional investigation. b. Interview /meet with complainant. c. Interview /meet with named officer(s) and other officers. d. Request additional investigation by the police chief, or request police assistance in the board's own investigation. e. Perform its own investigation with the authority to subpoena witnesses. f. Hire independent investigators. 3. In reviewing the Police Chiefs report, the Board must apply a "reasonable basis" standard of review. This means that the Board must give deference to the Police Chiefs report, because of the Police Chiefs professional expertise. (Iowa City Code Section 8- 8-7(13)(2)).) 4. According to Iowa City Code Section 8-8-7(B)(2), the Board may issue a report that disagrees with the decision set forth in the Police Chiefs or City Manager's report only if: a. The findings are not supported by substantial evidence; or b. The findings are unreasonable, arbitrary or capricious; or c. The findings are contrary to a police department policy or practice, or any federal, state or local law. 5. When the Board has completed its review of the Police Chiefs report, the Board issues a public report to the city council. The public report must include: (1) detailed findings of fact; and (2) a clearly articulated conclusion explaining why and the extent to which the complaint is either "sustained" or "not sustained ". (Iowa City Code Section 8-8-7(B)(6)). 6. Even if the Board finds that the complaint is sustained, the Board has no authority to discipline the officer involved. BOARD'S PROCEDURE: The Complaint was initiated by the Complainant on 10/712024. As required by Section 8-8-5(B) of the City Code, the Complaint was referred to the Chief of Police for investigation. The Complainant did not respond to numerous attempts by the Chief to reach the Complainant. The Chiefs Report was filed with the City Clerk on 12/10/2024. As per Section 8-8-6(D) of the City Code, the Complainant was given the opportunity to respond to the Chiefs report but failed to do so. The Board voted on 12/10/2024 to apply the following Level of Review to the Chiefs Report: on the record with no additional investigation, pursuant to Iowa City Code Section 8-8-7(13)(1)(a). The Board reviewed the following: the officer's body camera, the dashboard's camera footage, and the findings by the Chief of Police which included an interview with the officer. The Board met to consider the Report on 12/10/2024, 01/14/2025, and 02/11/2025. FINDINGS OF FACT: The officer stopped the complainant near the intersection of Clinton Street and Prentiss Street. The complainant was walking west on Prentiss Street, crossing the street, while allegedly speaking on a cell phone. The complainant claimed that she was only holding the phone in her hand and not using it. The complainant alleges that the officer sped toward her and braked right in front of her. Moreover, the complainant alleges that the officer was discourteous, threatening, and used an obscenity when addressing her_ The complainant also stated that she did not violate the law by crossing the street in an unmarked crosswalk. FILED FEB 112025 City Clerk . Iowa City, Iowa SUMMARY OF FINDINGS: The officer's car camera showed that he did not speed toward the complainant as alleged, and that his speed did not exceed 26 m.p.h. Because of the brevity of the encounter, the initial interaction between the complainant and the officer was not recorded on the body camera. The body camera was activated once the squad car's emergency lights were activated. The officer reported that he stopped the complainant in the crosswalk to block the complainant from crossing the street. He calmly explained that she needed to stop looking at her phone while crossing to avoid an accident. Camera footage shows that the complainant was looking down at her phone as she was crossing the street, and only looked up once the vehicle was near her. She abruptly stopped and allowed the police vehicle to pass her. The complainant was correct in asserting that according to Iowa law (Iowa Code Section 321.327) that a vehicle must yield the right of way when signals are not in place whether in marked or unmarked crosswalks. The officer was incorrect in making the claim to the contrary. However, the officer did not issue a citation to the complainant nor take any action based on that claim. COMPLAINANT'S ALLEGATION #1 — Violation of 320.5.9 Conduct, see Pertinent Portions of the policy below (f) Discourteous, disrespectful or discriminatory treatment of any member of the public or any member of this department or the City. (g) Use of obscene, indecent, or derogatory language while on -duty or in uniform. Chief's conclusion: Not sustained Board's conclusion: Not sustained Basis for the Board's conclusion: The complainant alleges that the officer was threatening and screaming at her. The officer's body camera video shows that the officer called to the complainant prompting her to stop. As he attempted to explain his intervention, the complainant immediately turned around and continued to walk. At that point the officer raised his voice telling the complainant that she was not free to go and risked being jailed should she not stop. The complainant eventually walked back. In addition to explaining that there was no painted crosswalk as she crossed, the officer warned of the danger of using a phone while crossing a street. The officer released the complainant with a verbal warning. The camera shows that the officer was calm during his interaction with the complainant, and at no time was he threatening or screaming at her. FILED FEB 112025 City Clerk .

Hi Everyone, Attached you will find Civilian -Friendly graphs representing the January2025 JECC 911 Call Types, Police Responses and Actions for the Iowa City Police Department. I've also attached graphs that for the Johnson County "All Agencies" option on the JECC public webpages. Iowa City Police Dept's January 2025 Calls, Responses, & Actions = 4,125 County Wide Law Enforcement's January 2025 Calls, Responses, & Actions=13,398 I hope these graphs offer you glimpses into the daily responsibilities and lives of Iowa City's Police Officers. Just as it is for each one of us — we expect others to see us in the context of all of our efforts. I hope these graphs offer you that wide-ranging perspective about the Public Services performed and supported by Iowa City Police Department. These graphs that were designed for civilian oversight, to show the combined efforts of all agencies that seamlessly cover Johnson County. I've been gathering this information for over a year now and having many conversations with residents. Having spent all but 4 months of my life in an every generation law enforcement and military family, I've developed an increased comfort level with difficult conversations. During a time when we are watching Federal Agencies defunded and dismantled, we know it is our local community police who must "bear up" when resources vanish. For the abolitionists who are interested in conversations, please reach out. I have lived with and within the American "military industrial complex." Dwight Eisenhower resonated in my family who took their oath to the US Constitution in every military service and with service in Federal Intelligence and Federal Law Enforcement Agencies. I have felt all of the vulnerabilities one endures living within that infamous "military industrial complex." That World is NOT part of Johnson County's Law Enforcement mentality and sphere of actions. Your Law Enforcement answers directly to civilian leadership and to We the Voting Public. Since 2020 the changes within each department have been in response to residents and civilian leaders. The emphasis on building community relationships continues to flourish and clear opportunities for public input exist. Enduring the State Governments detachment from our values in Iowa City is devastating form inorities on every level. That also touches our law enforcement people. I have a red, Irish Rage when I listen to Elected State Officials who are clueless about the reality of daily life and work for our Community Police. It's essential to understand the different Law Enforcement Agencies job descriptions and requirements for success. Community Policing is interwoven with building relationships and trust with the residents who they will see throughout their career. • A Federal Agency like ICE arrests and jails people they will never see again, from homes and neighborhoods they will never see again. ZERO effort is spent being trustworthy and building relationships. This is Not Work for Your Local Police. If our Community Police performed the same way Federal Agencies function, THEY Would Fail Their Community and fail their own goal of being trusted peacekeepers in our towns. Thanks for enduring my rant and for doing the work you do for Iowa City and beyond. If I must live in Iowa, this is the only place I recommend to anyone. So, On We Go!

Additional Information and resources can be found in the City of Iowa City Emergency Operations Plan. 208.1.1 DEFINITIONS The Iowa City Police Department faces a variety of natural, technological, and human -caused hazards which could pose significant threats to the City of Iowa City and/or the Iowa City Police Department. The Iowa City Police Department has identified the following as trigger points for the activation of the COOP plan: Disruption: Department's operations are disrupted either partially or completely at one or more locations. There is limited impact on interdependencies between the Department and other operations. The most likely cause of such a disruption is fire, system/mechanical failure, and/or loss of utilities such as electricity, telephone, or water. Catastrophic Incident: An incident affecting a geographic region, which causes significant disruption of operations to multiple Departments, leading to a massive and widespread displacement of those in our community, and a disruption to multiple interdependencies between and among City Departments. Disruption of normal business operations is assumed to be for an extended period in a catastrophic incident. Pandemic -Related Disruption: An incident which is indiscriminate as far as impact. At a minimum, the infrastructure and systems maintenance are affected due to a depleted and/or an exhausted workforce, or the threat of such depletion. 208.2 POLICY The Iowa City Police Department is committed to the safety of its employees, operations, and assets. This policy, in conjunction with the City of Iowa City Continuity of Operations (COOP) Plan, provides the Department and Department personnel a framework designed to minimize potential impact during an emergency event. Continuity of Operations Planning (COOP) is designed to enable individual units to effectively maintain their primary functions during a disaster/emergency which could potentially disrupt critical operations and services.

By focusing on efforts to continue the essential functions of the jurisdiction, COOP planning ensures the government continues to operate - even in the wake of a major event. (b) A COOP plan is designed to address the following: 1. Loss or reduction of services due to a reduction in workforce (as in a communicable disease pandemic); and 2. Loss of services due to equipment or system failure (major utility outage). (c) The COOP plan should: 1. Identify mission -essential functions which absolutely must be maintained regardless of the challenges posed by an emergency or disaster situation. 2. Determine the personnel, facilities, equipment, systems, information, and other resources necessary to support those essential functions; and 3. Ensure the ability to maintain those essential functions with minimal disruption. 4. Address COOP activation management and orders of succession. 5. Compile information to facilitate quick and effective communication and decision making in a crisis; and 6. Facilitate the recovery/resumption of normal operations (e.g., by identifying and safeguarding vital records and data). 7. Detail procedures to implement actions resulting in continued essential functions within the recovery time objectives established by each Branch's COOP Team to maintain essential functions for up to 30 days. 208.3.1 CRITICAL ASSUMPTIONS The Iowa City Police Department COOP is predicated upon a realistic approach to problems likely to be encountered during a major emergency or disaster, and is based on the following assumptions: 1. An emergency or disaster may occur at any time of the day or night, weekend, or holiday, with little to no warning. 2. During an emergency or disaster, the Iowa City Police Department leadership will coordinate with the leadership of other City Departments to determine, prioritize, mobilize, and direct resource needs. 3. Many normal City operations may be suspended or canceled so resources may be redirected to save lives, relieve human suffering, and sustain survivors. 4. Iowa City Police Department staff members may be called upon to support the City's broader emergency response efforts in addition to maintaining or resuming normal Police Department activities.

Police Department personnel will perform their normal duties unless otherwise directed by the Chief of Police or designee. j; 6. Some or all normal Police Department programs and vitl s;l bAHhWfi those identified as essential functions, may be suspended or reduced, depending on available resources and staffing. 7. Even for essential functions, it may not be possible to maintain normal levels of service fully. 8. As the COOP Action Plan is developed during COOP activation, feasible levels of service will be reassessed and reevaluated. 9. All vital records and documents needed to restore and maintain essential functions will be maintained in such a manner they are accessible from alternative locations (e.g., hard copies kept at designated alternate locations and/or electronic records that can be accessed from other than primary locations). 10. The succession of events in an emergency is not predictable, therefore published support and operational plans can be expected to serve only as guidance and checklists. These may require modification to meet the requirements of a given emergency. 11. Disasters may affect other jurisdictions of the region, as well as state and federal agencies, and contractors/vendors. Therefore, delays In receiving government or contracted services, support, or supplies should be expected, potentially for multiple days or even weeks depending upon severity of disaster. 208.3.2 DUTIES OF COMMAND STAFF AND DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL The Chief of Police is responsible for overseeing the Department's response to any disaster or emergency. The Police Department has essential functions which must be maintained under all circumstances. In the event of an incident Impeding routine operations, certain employees might be asked to relocate; take on additional or alternative duties as circumstances dictate. (a) Command Staff Responsibilities 1. Activation of the COOP plan. 2. Provide policy direction, guidance, and objectives during the implementation of the COOP plan. 3. Consults with and advises appropriate officials during the implementation of the COOP plan; and 4. Serves as the principal Department representative to external parties and groups during the implementation of the COOP plan, until or unless relieved by another designee. 5. Collect information on the Department's activities and prepare a Situation Report (SitRep). This report will then be approved by the Chief of Police, or the Chiefs designee, and sent to all employees and any additional stakeholders (i.e., City Administration, Emergency Management, assisting agencies) each day for briefing purposes.

A portion or all the Department's operations are disrupted at one location, with limited displacement of operations to alternate facilities. There is limited impact on interdependencies between the Department and other operations. The most likely cause of such a disruption is fire, system/mechanical failure, and loss of utilities such as electricity, telephone, or water. 2. Catastrophic incident affects a geographic region, which causes a disruption of operations to a number of Departments, leading to a massive and widespread displacement of the community and a disruption to multiple interdependencies between and among City Departments. Disruption of normal business operations is assumed to be for an extended period. 3. A pandemic related disruption of the workforce that is indiscriminate as far as impact, and the infrastructure Is affected only to the extent that systems maintenance and/or operation by a severely depleted workforce. (b) The Chief of Police, or designee, has the discretion to activate the Police COOP Plan, when the ability to maintain the Department's essential functions is challenged or compromised. Depending on the circumstances, COOP activation may mean any or all of the following: 1. Performing essential functions under abnormal conditions or by alternate means, possibly in a reduced capacity. 2. Suspending some or all non -essential programs and activities. 3. Redirecting/reallocating personnel and resources to support Police Department essential functions and/or other City-wide emergency response and recovery priorities. 4. Relocating essential functions to alternate facilities when/if the primary facilities are compromised, damaged or otherwise inaccessible. (c) Level of Emergency Key Personnel for Essential Functions and Alternate Staffing: (a) In some instances, it may be necessary to limit the number of staff members who report to work during an emergency or disaster situation. For example, if a normal work location is damaged or otherwise inaccessible, there may be a limited number of workstations available at an alternate location. Additionally, the number of available personnel may be the limiting factor, as would likely be the case in the event of a pandemic disease outbreak. (b) It is critically important to Identify the key personnel (positions/roles) required to perform and maintain an organization's essential functions. These key positions will be assumed by individuals in the unforeseeable absence of primary personnel.

(c) The Commanders o ' ach Division shall identify essential functions and develop a rotational staffing plan to ensure all critical positions are filled throughout the emergency. (d) Purchasing / Spending Authority- During any activation of the COOP Plan, all issues related to spending/purchasing authority shall be vetted through the City of Iowa City Purchasing Department, or their designate. (e) Communication Protocols 1. Staff Notification (Outbound Communication): In the case of an emergency or interruption that triggers the activation of the COOP Plan, the Police Chief (or designee) will notify the City Manager's Office, Emergency Management Staff, and Division personnel of the COOP activation and/or their individual COOP assignments. 2. Staff Check in (Inbound Communication): In the event of a significant emergency or interruption that impacts the City, the Police Department, or employee's ability to report to work, employees will "check in" via prearranged contact procedures to report on their individual statuses and to ascertain whether and where to report to work. Such communication allows management to muster sufficient staffing to restore and/or maintain essential functions, as well as to complete a roll call following an emergency event to verify the safety of staff members. 3. It is essential each staff member is familiar with the emergency check in procedures, as well as likely duties in a COOP Plan activation. (f) Public Communications- If normal communications with City Council, City staff, and the Public is disrupted, alternate modes of communication, in coordination with the Public Safety PIO, will be utilized to disseminate information, Website postings, flyers and media communications may be utilized to distribute information. Under a COOP activation, as during normal operations, the Chief of Police (along with staff) is responsible for crafting and disseminating messages (with the approval of and in coordination with the City Manager). When the EOC is activated, public information messages from all City Divisions will be coordinated through the EOC, to ensure consistency and maximum distribution. (g) Reconstitution- Reconstitution focuses on restoring business operations to their normal state of affairs. Reconstitution is initiated once the emergency is over and is unlikely to cause additional disruptions. Basic planning for reconstitution should be done concurrently with the COOP plan. Event specific reconstitution planning should begin after the COOP plan is activated and the situation has been adequately assessed. Once the emergency -specific reconstitution plan is developed, the Department needs to inform all personnel of the plan, its implementation schedule, and specific task assignments. Executing the reconstitution plan results in the transfer of personnel, supplies, equipment and essential functions from the relocation site. After receiving approval from appropriate authorities, the Police Department should begin salvage operations and plan for one of the following reconstitution options: Copyright Lexipol, LLC 2025102/19.

As custodian and administrator of the COOP Plan, the Support Services Captain must have thorough knowledge of all plan contents. As a further safeguard, the Support Services Captain should not be the sole person with organizational knowledge of the plan. All Department Division Commanders should be a full participant in all planning, maintenance and exercise activities. The Support Services Captain is responsible for generating the changes and issuing the updates. A copy of the COOP Plan should be provided to the Office of Emergency Management. The Support Services Captain (or their designee) is responsible for the overall maintenance of a sustainable COOP plan. (a) COOP Plan Maintenance 1. The primary objective of COOP Plan maintenance is to keep the information in the plan current. The following COOP Plan maintenance activities will be conducted: 2. Triennial review and update of the plan by the Support Operations Division Captain, or designee, should be completed with re approval of the plan by the Chief of Police. 3.

Revision of the plan based on results of relevant tests and exercises, as well as lessons learned from any actual COOP activation incidents; may also be completed. 5. Review of relevant policies, contracts, and MOA/MOUs should also be conducted to ensure they are up to date. (b) Training- Successful implementation of the COOP relies heavily on Department staff member's familiarity of their unique roles, and knowledge of the plan. In addition, the Support Services Captain, in coordination with the other Division Commander, is responsible for various activities identified as essential functions of the Police Department and should actively engage in cross training of individuals within the Department. To this end, all Police Department personnel should receive orientation training on the COOP Plan.

Interaction with such individuals has the potential for miscommunication and violence. It often requires an officer to make difficult judgments about a person's mental state and intent in order to effectively and legally interact with the individual. 409.1.1 DEFINITIONS Definitions related to this policy include: Person in crisis - A person whose level of distress or mental health symptoms have exceeded the person's internal ability to manage his/her behavior or emotions. A crisis can be precipitated by any number of things, including an increase in the symptoms of mental illness despite treatment compliance; noncompliance with treatment, including a failure to take prescribed medications appropriately; or any other circumstance or event that causes the person to engage in erratic, disruptive or dangerous behavior that may be accompanied by impaired judgment. 409.2 POLICY The Iowa City Police Department is committed to providing a consistently high level of service to all members of the community and recognizes that persons in crisis may benefit from intervention. The Department will collaborate, where feasible, with mental health professionals to develop an overall intervention strategy to guide its members' interactions with those experiencing a mental health crisis. This is to ensure equitable and safe treatment of all involved. 409.3 SIGNS Members should be alert to any of the following possible signs of mental health issues or crises: (a) A known history of mental illness (b) Threats of or attempted suicide (c) Chronic substance abuse (d) Loss of memory (e) Incoherence, disorientation or slow response (f) Delusions, hallucinations, perceptions unrelated to reality or grandiose ideas Copyright Lexipol, LLC 2025/02/19, All Rights Reserved. ***RAF* Crisis Intervention Incidents - 1 Published with permission by Iowa City Police Department Iowa City Police Department Policy Manual Crisis Intervention Incidents Z075 FrEB 21 PIN 2: 2S (g) Depression, pronounced feelings of hopelessness or uselessness, extreme sadness or guilt i Ij CL Ek: (h) Social withdrawal (i) Manic or impulsive behavior, extreme agitation or lack of control 0) Lack of fear (k) Anxiety, aggression, rigidity, inflexibility or paranoia Members should be aware that this list is not exhaustive. The presence or absence of any of these signs should not be treated as proof of the presence or absence of a mental health issue or crisis. 409.4 COORDINATION WITH MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS The Chief of Police should designate an appropriate Outreach supervisor or designeeto collaborate with mental health professionals to develop an education and response protocol. It should include a list of community resources to guide department interaction with those who may be suffering from mental illness or who appear to be in a mental health crisis. 409.5 FIRST RESPONDERS Safety is a priority for first responders. It is important to recognize that individuals under the influence of alcohol, drugs or both may exhibit symptoms that are similar to those of a person in a mental health crisis. These individuals may still present a serious threat to officers; such a threat should be addressed with reasonable tactics. Nothing in this policy shall be construed to limit an officer's authority to use reasonable force when interacting with a person in crisis. Officers are reminded that mental health issues, mental health crises and unusual behavior are not necessarily criminal offenses. Individuals may benefit from treatment as opposed to incarceration. The following guidelines detail how to approach and interact with people in crisis. These guidelines should be followed in all contacts whether on the street or during more formal interviews and interrogations. Officers responding to a call involving a person in crisis should: (a) Promptly assess the situation independent of reported information and make a preliminary determination regarding whether a mental health crisis may be a factor. (b) Request available backup officers and specialized resources as deemed necessary and, if it is reasonably believed that the person is in a crisis situation, use conflict resolution and de-escalation techniques to stabilize the incident as appropriate. (c) If feasible, and without compromising safety, turn off flashing lights, bright lights or sirens. (d) Attempt to determine if weapons are present or available. (e) Take into account the person's mental and emotional state and potential inability to understand commands or to appreciate the consequences of his/her action or inaction, as perceived by the officer. (f) Secure the scene and clear the immediate area as necessary.

In other words, a reasonable individual would believe that his/her contact with the officer is voluntary. Field interview (FI) - The brief detainment of an individual, whether on foot or in a vehicle, based on reasonable suspicion for the purpose of determining the individual's identity and resolving the officer's suspicions. Field photographs - Posed photographs taken of a person during a contact, temporary detention, or arrest in the field. Undercover surveillance photographs of an individual and recordings captured by the normal operation of a Mobile AudioNideo (MAV) system, body -worn camera, or public safety camera when persons are not posed for the purpose of photographing are not considered field photographs. Pat -down search - A type of search used by officers in the field to check an individual for dangerous weapons. It involves a thorough patting -down of clothing to locate any weapons or dangerous items that could pose a danger to the officer, the detainee, or others. Reasonable suspicion - When, under the totality of the circumstances, an officer has articulable facts that criminal activity may be afoot and a particular person is connected with that possible criminal activity. Temporary detention - When an officer intentionally, through words, actions, or physical force, causes an individual to reasonably believe he/she is required to restrict his/her movement without an actual arrest. Temporary detentions also occur when an officer actually restrains a person's freedom of movement. 419.2 POLICY The Iowa City Police Department respects the right of the public to be free from unreasonable searches or seizures. Due to an unlimited variety of situations confronting the officer, the decision to temporarily detain a person and complete a field interview, pat -down search, orfield photograph shall be left to the officer based on the totality of the circumstances, officer safety considerations and constitutional safeguards.

A person, however, shall not be detained longer than is reasonably necessary to resolve the officer's suspicion. Nothing in this policy is intended to discourage consensual contacts. Frequent casual contact with consenting individuals is encouraged by the Iowa City Police Department to strengthen community involvement, community awareness, and problem identification. 419.3.1 INITIATING A FIELD INTERVIEW When initiating the stop, the officer should be able to point to specific facts which, when considered with the totality of the circumstances, reasonably warrant the stop. Such facts include but are not limited to an individual's: (a) Appearance or demeanor suggesting that he/she is part of a criminal enterprise or is engaged in a criminal act. (b) Actions suggesting that he/she is engaged in a criminal activity. (c) Presence in an area at an inappropriate hour of the day or night. (d) Presence in a particular area is suspicious.

(i) Prior criminal record or involvement in criminal activity as known by the officer. 419.4 PAT -DOWN SEARCHES Once a valid stop has been made, and consistent with the officer's training and experience, an officer may conduct a pat -down search. The purpose of this limited search is not to discover evidence of a crime, but to allow the officer to pursue the investigation without fear of violence. Circumstances that may establish justification for performing a pat -down search include but are not limited to: (a) The type of crime suspected, particularly in crimes of violence where the use or threat of weapons is involved. (b) Where more than one suspect must be handled by a single officer. (c) The hour of the day and the location or area where the stop takes place. (d) Prior knowledge of the suspect's use of force and/or propensity to carry weapons. (e) The actions and demeanor of the suspect.

When taking a consensual photograph, the officer should have the individual read and sign the appropriate form accompanying the photograph. 419.5.2 FIELD PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN WITHOUT CONSENT Field photographs may be taken without consent only if they are taken during a detention that is based upon reasonable suspicion of criminal activity, and the photograph serves a legitimate law enforcement purpose related to the detention. The officer must be able to articulate facts that reasonably indicate that the subject was involved in or was about to become involved in criminal conduct. The subject should not be ordered to remove or lift any clothing for the purpose of taking a photograph. If, prior to taking a photograph, the officer's reasonable suspicion of criminal activity has been dispelled, the detention must cease and the photograph should not be taken. 419.5.3 DISPOSITION OF PHOTOGRAPHS If an individual is photographed as a suspect in a particular crime, the photograph should be submitted as an evidence item in the related case, following standard evidence procedures. If a photograph is not associated with an investigation where a case number has been issued, the Watch Commander should review and forward the photograph to one of the following locations: (a) If the photograph and associated FI or documentation is relevant to criminal organization/enterprise enforcement, the Watch Commander will forward the photograph and documents to the designated criminal intelligence system supervisor. The supervisor will ensure the photograph and supporting documents are retained as prescribed in the Criminal Organizations Policy. (b) Photographs that do not qualify for retention in a criminal intelligence system or temporary information file shall be destroyed.

This is not to imply that supervisor approval is required before each photograph is taken. Access to, and use of, field photographs shall be strictly limited to law enforcement purposes. 419.6 WITNESS IDENTIFICATION AND INTERVIEWS Because potential witnesses to an incident may become unavailable or the integrity of their statements compromised with the passage of time, officers should, when warranted by the seriousness of the case, take reasonable steps to promptly coordinate with an on -scene supervisor and/or criminal investigator to utilize available members for the following: (a) Identifying all persons present at the scene and in the immediate area. 1. When feasible, a recorded statement should be obtained from those who claim not to have witnessed the incident but who were present at the time it occurred. 2. Any potential witness who is unwilling or unable to remain available for a formal interview should not be detained absent reasonable suspicion to detain or probable cause to arrest. Without detaining the individual for the sole purpose of identification, officers should attempt to identify the witness prior to his/her departure. (b) Witnesses who are willing to provide a formal interview should be asked to meet at a suitable location where a recorded statement may be obtained. Such witnesses, if willing, may be transported by department members. A written, verbal, or recorded statement of consent should be obtained prior to transporting a witness. When the witness is a minor, consent should be obtained from the parent or guardian, if available, prior to transport.

If you are not able to print a copy of the computer -generated Property Control Form (PCF) then a handwritten PCF shall be used. At no time will property be left unsecured or stored in personal areas, nor will it be converted for personal use. All property/evidence must be logged into records and submitted into evidence prior to the officer ending their tour of duty unless approved by a supervisor. If evidence is collected which requires processing, the on -duty Watch Supervisor should assign an on -duty crime scene technician (CST) to process the evidence.Upon completion of processing, the CST shall submit the item and evidence to the property custodian in the prescribed manner.lf there is no CST available or the procedure is one which requires techniques not available through the Iowa City Police Department, the evidence shall be submitted along with the evidence form to the property custodian, or deposited in a securable locker outside the property room. If the evidence is to be sent to a lab (for any reason), it will be the officer's responsibility to fill out the lab request sheet and submit it to the property custodian with the evidence. 802.2.1 DRUGS All drugs must be weighed on a designated scale and/or counted prior to securing them in the evidence locker. Weight or count should be documented on the PCF. If drugs/paraphernalia are confiscated and submitted without any need to maintain (e.g., found on public right of way or taken off of an individual being charged with something NOT PCS or PDP related) indicate on the property sheet and the packaging that they're being submitted for destruction. Syringes shall not be submitted to evidence and should instead be disposed of in an appropriate sharps container. Syringes containing drugs, residue, or other material of evidentiary value should be processed in accordance with proper evidence collection methods, and the syringe disposed of in the appropriate sharps container. Except as noted below, prior to packaging and if the quantity allows, a presumptive test should be made on all suspected controlled substances. If conducted, the result of the test shall be included in the incident report. Marijuana with any perceptible moisture content shall be loosely packaged in a container that allows for drying or shall be dried prior to storage. Evidence personnel shall monitor stored Copynght Lexipol, LLC 2025/01/07, All Rights Resc,,ed ***DRAFT*** EVIDENCE PROCEDURES - 1 Published with permission by Iowa City Police ;DeD:trI rent Iowa City Police Department Procedures Manual EVIDENCE PROCEDURES 71I 11' 21 Fi t 2' 2, marijuana for growth of mold. At the first sign of mold growth, stored marijuana shall be photographed showing the mold growth. As soon as practicable, the evidence personnel. shall make efforts to lawfully destroy the contaminated marijuana. The evidence personnel should consult with the member assigned to the case investigation for authorization to destroy the remaining marijuana and should request assistance from the appropriate prosecutor in obtaining a court order for immediate destruction after taking representative sample. When encountering any powdered substance, it is best practice to treat it as if it contains fentanyl, as testing kits may not accurately detect the presence of carfentanil or fentanyl. Officers will not field test suspected heroin or any narcotic that is believed to be mixed with carfentanyl, fentanyl or any unknown powders unless certified to test such substances. All testing of substances shall be conducted in the designated area in the arrestee processing area. Officers should attempt to ascertain from th owner of the unknown powder as to what the powder is. Any substance that is known or suspected to contain carfentanyl or fentanyl will be placed in an evidence packaging (in its original packaging) and then packaged in a second bag before being placed in evidence. A warning that the container has a substance with fentanyl or carfentanyl inside will be written on the outside package. 802.2.2 WEAPONS Weapons shall be secured to the extent possible prior to their submission to the Property Custodian. Firearms shall be unloaded. Anytime a firearm is seized due to the person being ineligible to possess, a firearm was found, or if it was used in the commission of a crime, the seizing officer needs to ensure they use nitrite gloves (when possible), make the firearm safe, and secure the firearm to prevent any further environmental contam!nation.Once complete, the seizing or investigating officer needs to alert a member of SCAT of the seizure either in person, or by email at *Police Scat, and fill out and affix a gun box label with all known information. Do not submit the firearm into evidence until consulting with SCAT or a qualified CST for processing. Once the SCAT detective reviews the details of the seizure, they will conduct an ATF trace, make an assessment on the investigative interest in the firearm, and tell the seizing officer to submit the firearm to Evidence, transfer the firearm to a designated CST, or transfer the firearm to a SCAT detective. It will also be decided if the Department should have a CST swab the firearm and/or ammunition for DNA and inspect and/or process for fingerprints. Firearms should be submitted for test firing for NIBIN comparison and submission. An ATF gun trace request will be sent on all firearms and a response received before disposition of the weapon. ATF requests should be made by the seizing officer to any member that has an ATF trace account.The requesting member is responsible for forwarding the ATF report to records for scanning into the Department's record management system.

Evidence personnel will not accept cash that is not packaged in accordance with the procedure above. Any cash seized may be checked to determine if serial numbers have been documented as evidence or cross-referenced in an intelligence database.This procedure requires 2 officers be present and recorded on their body worn cameras. If it occurs post packaging the original packaging material should be retained as evidence and remaining money properly re -packaged. If serialized money is recovered it may be submitted as evidence, returned to buy funds, or released to another agency who had documented the serial number of the cash.

Jeffrey Fink RE: October 2024 Use of Force Review DATE: November 27, 2024 The Iowa City Police Department policy requires an employee to complete a written report for any reportable use of force. Reportable use of force is defined in the Department's policy 300, which is titled Use of Force and available for public viewing on the department's website. This policy provides employees with guidelines on the use of deadly and non -deadly force. Upon receipt of the report, the supervisor is responsible for completing an administrative critique of the force. This process includes interviews with involved employees, body worn and in -car camera review, review of any additional available video, and review of written reports. The employee's use of force report and the supervisor's critique is then forwarded to the Captain of Field Operations and the Chief of Police for final review and critique. On a monthly basis, the previous month's use of force reports and supervisor critiques are reviewed by an administrative review committee consisting of a minimum of three sworn personnel. This Use of Force Committee consists of two supervisors as designated by the Chief of Police and one officer, typically a certified use of force instructor. The Use of Force Review Committee met on November 27, 2024. It was composed of Lt. Fink, Sgt. Alke, and Officer Arcenas. For the review of submitted reports in October 2024, the Review Committee documented the following: • 35 individual officers were involved in 18 separate incidents requiring use of force. There were no documented cases of an officer exercising his/her duty to intervene and the review of the incidents did not indicate that an officer failed their duty to intervene. • Out of the 18 use of force incidents, 16 involved force being used against 19 different people. There were 2 animals euthanized by officers. • Out of the 35 officers involved in the 16 use of force incidents involving people, no subjects sustained superficial injuries, and 2 officers sustained superficial injuries. a No violations of policy were noted during this review period. • Out of the 19 use of force incidents against people, arrests were made 17 times (89.51/o). e Mental health was identified by officers as being a factor in 4 of the 16 use of force incidents involving persons (25%). • Drugs and/or alcohol was identified by officers as being a factor in 12 of the 16 use of force incidents involving persons (751/o). • Out of the 19 times force was used on persons, 7 were identified as white males (36.8%), 3 were identified as black males (15.8%), 1 was identified as a Hispanic male (5.3%), 2 were identified as white females (10.5%), 5 were identified as black females (26.3%), and there-was-1 unknown subject (pepper spray deployed into a crowd) (5.3/%).

Jeffrey Fink RE: November 2024 Use of Force Review DATE: December 23, 2024 M"21' FEB 21 F, i 2: 20 1 The Iowa City Police Department policy requires an employee to complete a written report for any reportable use of force. Reportable use of force is defined in the Department's policy 300, which is titled Use of Force and available for public viewing on the department's website. This policy provides employees with guidelines on the use of deadly and non -deadly force. Upon receipt of the report, the supervisor is responsible for completing an administrative critique of the force. This process includes interviews with involved employees, body worn and in -car camera review, review of any additional available video, and review of written reports. The employee's use of force report and the supervisor's critique is then forwarded to the Captain of Field Operations and the Chief of Police for final review and critique. On a monthly basis, the previous month's use of force reports and supervisor critiques are reviewed by an administrative review committee consisting of a minimum of three sworn personnel. This Use of Force Committee consists of two supervisors as designated by the Chief of Police and one officer, typically a certified use of force instructor. The Use of Force Review Committee met on November 23, 2024. It was composed of Lt. Fink, Sgt. Alke, and Officer Arcenas. For the review of submitted reports in November 2024, the Review Committee documented the following: • 31 individual officers were involved in 18 separate incidents requiring use of force. • There were no documented cases of an officer exercising his/her duty to intervene and the review of the incidents did not indicate that an officer failed their duty to intervene. • Out of the 18 use of force incidents, 14 involved force being used against 14 different people. There were 4 animals euthanized by officers. ■ Out of the 31 officers involved in the 14 use of force incidents involving people, two subjects sustained injuries, and no officers sustained injuries. • No violations of policy were noted during this review period. • Out of the 14 use of force incidents against people, arrests were made 11 times (78.60/0). • Mental health was identified by officers as being a factor in 5 of the 14 use of force incidents involving persons (35.7%). • Drugs and/or alcohol was identified by officers as being a factor in 7 of the 14 use of force incidents involving persons (50%). • Out of the 14 times force was used on persons, 3 were identified as white males (21.4%), 8 were identified as black males (57.1%), 2 were identified as Hispanic males (14.3%), and 1 was identified as a black female (7.10/6). o Out of the 14 use of force incidents involving people, the average number of officers involved in the force was 2.21. • In total during this time, the ICPD had 4,954 calls for service with 14 calls for service resulting in force being used on persons (.28%). The highest level of force in each incident is reflected below along with the year-to-date: Force Used November 2024 Occurrences 2024 Year -to -Date Hands-on 9 108 Taser DisplayDispl2y 0 13 Taser Discharge 0 10 OC Spray Deployment 3 18 Firearm(s) Display 0 43 Firearms Discharge 0 1 ASP Strikins 0 0 Officer Striking/KickingStriking/Kic!Sjag 0 1 Animals Euthanized by Officer 4 33 Special Response Team Callouts 0 0 Vehicle Pursuits 0 0 Officer In uries 0 4 Suspect Iniuries 2 9 Reports to U.S. DOJ 0 1 Total Use of Force incidents to date equal 205.

Jeffrey Fink RE: December 2024 Use of Force Review DATE: January 28, 2025 "K5 FEB 21 = t V The Iowa City Police Department policy requires an employee to complete a written report for any reportable use of force. Reportable use of force is defined in the Department's policy 300, which is titled Use of Force and available for public viewing on the department's website. This policy provides employees with guidelines on the use of deadly and non -deadly force. Upon receipt of the report, the supervisor is responsible for completing an administrative critique of the force. This process includes interviews with involved employees, body worn and in -car camera review, review of any additional available video, and review of written reports. The employee's use of force report and the supervisor's critique is then forwarded to the Captain of Field Operations and the Chief of Police for final review and critique. On a monthly basis, the previous month's use of force reports and supervisor critiques are reviewed by an administrative review committee consisting of a minimum of three sworn personnel. This Use of Force Committee consists of two supervisors as designated by the Chief of Police and one officer, typically a certified use of force instructor. The Use of Force Review Committee met on January 28, 2025. It was composed of Lt. Fink, Sgt. Alke, and Officer LaKose. For the review of submitted reports in December 2024, the Review Committee documented the following: ■ 42 individual officers were involved in 17 separate incidents requiring use of force. • There were no documented cases of an officer exercising his/her duty to intervene and the review of the incidents did not indicate that an officer failed their duty to intervene. • Out of the 17 use of force incidents, 12 involved force being used against 14 different people. There were 5 animals euthanized by officers. ■ Out of the 42 officers involved in the 12 use of force incidents involving people, no subjects sustained injuries, and 1 officer sustained a superficial injury. . a No violations of policy were noted during this review period. • Out of the 13 use of force incidents against people, arrests were made 13 times (92.9%). • Mental health was identified by officers as being a factor in 3 of the 12 use of force incidents involving persons (25%). * Drugs and/or alcohol was identified by officers as being a factor in 7 of the 12 use of force incidents involving persons (58.3%). ■ Out of the 14 times force was used on persons, 7 were identified as white males (50%), 6 were identified as black males (42.9%), and 1 was identified as a white female (7,1%). • Out of the 12 use of force incidents involving people, the average number of officers involved in the force was 3.08. ■ In total during this time, the ICPD had 4,690 calls for service with 12 calls for service resulting in force being used on persons (.26%).

Officer 1 grabbed the subject's right hand and wrist as Officer 2 grabbed his left arm and wrist. The subject began resisting and trying to turn towards Officers 1 and 2. Officer 1 grabbed his upper body and pulled him backward and pushed him to the ground. Officer 2 got the subject onto his stomach. Officers 1 and 2 were giving the subject orders to put his hands behind his back. The subject pulled his right hand out from under him, and Officer 1 placed his right hand behind his back and held onto it. As Officer 2 reached for his handcuffs, the subject began resisting and pulling his arm away. He then began trying to pull his right arm away from Officer 1, who placed a knee on his upper back and shoulder area and held his right hand and wrist in a gooseneck position to prevent him from pulling it away. Officer 2 sprayed the subject with pepper spray, and the subject spun towards the officers. Officer 1 was able to place a handcuff on the subject's right wrist, and then used the cuffed hand to twist his wrist and apply pressure while giving him orders to roll onto his stomach. He rolled and spun onto his buttocks and continued to not comply with orders. Officers 1 and 2 were able to push him against the car and told him to put his hands behind his back. Officer 1 grabbed his left arm and wrist and tried to force it behind his back but was unsuccessful because he was leaning against the car. Officer 1 held onto the subject's shoulder and arm area. As he tried to stand up and move about, Officer 1 grabbed across his shoulder and chest area to maintain control of him. As the subject sat back down, Officer 1 placed a hand on his left knee and a hand on his right bicep area. Officers 1 and 2 held the subject against the car until additional units arrived. They told the subject to turn onto his stomach and put his hands behind his back and grabbed his left wrist and tried to force it behind his back. The subject began thrashing and kicking, nearly kicking Officer 1 and other officers in the head. Officer 3 yelled taser, taser, taser and tased the subject. After several attempts by Officer 3 to gain control using the taser, Officer 1 then moved in to handcuff him. He rolled onto his stomach, yelled okay, and placed his left arm at his side. Officer 1 placed his arm behind his back and held his hand in a gooseneck position to prevent him from pulling it away again. He began moving and pulling trying to pull his arms away again. Officers 1 and 5 maintained a hold of his left wrist and hand and assisted with placing the cuff around his wrist and pushing it closed so it locked. Officer 4 was able to get the handcuff on his right wrist and with help from officers, got it secured. The subject continued to thrash about and try to turn, screaming for help, so Officer 5 placed the subject's legs in restraints. The subject began slamming his head on the ground, so Officer 1 wrapped a sweatshirt around his head and held onto it to prevent him from slamming his head on the ground. An ambulance had been requested and we were waiting for them to arrive. The subject continued to try to thrash about, trying to stand up and was moving his hips. Officers rolled the subject to his left side to be in a recovery position, and he again began banging his head on the ground. Officer 1 moved to the other side and moved his hood around his head more so the officer holding it would have more control of his head. The subject was transported to the hospital, and following treatment attempted to leave. Officers 2 and 6 had control of his left hand and attempted to pull it behind his back, but he tensed up and pulled his arm to his front. Officer 2 held it in place as the subject then lowered himself to the ground. Using his arm as leverage, Officer 2 was able to roll the subject onto his stomach and could tell other officers were working in unison to complete the task. Officer 4 knelt on the subject's legs to prevent him from thrashing and kicking. Officers 2 and 5 had a hold of the subject's right arm and attempted to place a handcuff on it. Officer 2 was kneeling next to Officer 4 and instructed him to take the subject's arm and put it behind his back as he was in a better leverage point. Officer 5 put a knee on the back of his right arm, near the top shoulder area to keep him from rolling or pulling away. He broke free, rolled himself over onto his back, so Officer 5 grabbed onto his left arm and rolled him back to his stomach as other officers helped. Officer 5 held onto that arm and held it behind his back, with a knee on his upper arm pulling upward on the right arm. Officer 5 placed the subject's left arm in a cuff and eventually met Officer 2's cuffs which were on the subject's right arm. Officers kept pressure on the subject until the cuffs were double locked to prevent them from locking down further_ Officer 2 then disengaged to ring a squad car over to the subject.

Date: December 22, 2020 To: City Council From: Community Police Review Board Re: Report and recommendation of proposed changes to the Community Police Review Board pursuant to Resolution 20-159 (Resolution of Initial Council Commitments addressing the Black Lives Matter Movement and Systemic Racism in the wake of the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis Police and calls for action from protesters and residents). The members of the Iowa City Community Police Review Board (hereafter, "CPRB") submit the following report and recommendation for proposed changes to the Community Police Review Board to enhance community oversight of the Iowa City Police Department. PROPOSED CHANGE 1—THAT IN INSTANCES OF A SUSTAINED MISCONDUCT COMPLAINT, THE CPRB BE GIVEN INFORMATION ABOUT THE CORRESPONDING DISCIPLINE, AND THAT THE CPRB BE ALLOWED TO INCLUDE IN ITS REPORT ITS FINDINGS ON WHETHER THE DISCIPLINE IS REASONABLE AND FAIR. a. Proposed Change 1 The CPRB is requesting that, upon there being a sustained report of misconduct by the Chief of Police/City Manager, that it also be provided: A report from the Chief of Police/City Manager outlining the discipline to. be administered to the officer as a consequence of the misconduct. Within the report, the Chief of Police/City Manager shall detail the factors used to determine the discipline, including: (a) The severity of misconduct in the complaint; (b,) Whether the officer was found to have committed the same or similar type of misconduct in the past; (c) Prior exemplary conduct of the officer; (d) Prior training related to the circumstances in which the officer was found to have committedmisconduct; (e) Clarity of the conduct prescribed for an officer in the Iowa City Police Department's Operating Procedures relevant to the circumstances in which the officer committed misconduct; and (f) Other circumstances that call for enhancing or mitigating the discipline to be administered. Copies of the officer's: (a) discipline history; (b) exemplary conduct history; (c) the officer's training history; (d) any operating procedures relevant to the Chief of Police/City Manager's determination of discipline for the misconduct; (e) evidence or documentation relied on by the Chief of Police/City Manager of enhancing or mitigating circumstances that impacted the decision on the appropriate level of discipline to be administered; and (f) any additional documents or other evidence related to any of the above disclosures made by a reasonable request from the CPRB. b. Reasoning for the proposal The most critical role of the Community Police Review Board ("CPRB") is to provide an independent review, on behalf of the community, over the conduct of the Iowa City Police Department ("ICPD") including its Chief and all officers. When a complaint of misconduct is filed, presently, the CPRB only has authority to agree or disagree with the findings of the Chief of Police and/or City Manager as to whether or not misconduct has occurred. The CPRB is not provided with information about how an officer is disciplined in cases where misconduct is found, The CPRB believes having information regarding the disciplining of an officer, as well as any other consequences to an officer where the officer has been found to have committed misconduct, is integral to having effective oversight of the ICPD. Discipline information allows for oversight to make sure the discipline matches the offense, to help deter future misconduct, to ensure discipline is equitably administered, and to align the level of discipline and reasons for variances with precedent and the community's values. The importance of the CPRB having information is perhaps best explained by a hypothetical of an officer using excessive force resulting in serious injury to a community member. Assume that the Chief of Police issued a report finding the officer to have committed grave misconduct. Through the current CPRB complaint process, the CPRB would review the Chiefs report and file its own findings in the CPRB report. In the current system, the CPRB would sustain the Chiefs finding of misconduct, and report the same to City Council, having no information on, and making no finding regarding, discipline to the officer. Assume further, for this hypothetical, that the Chief issued no discipline to the offending officer, despite the seriousness of the misconduct, and despite such lack of accountability being in clear contradiction to the goals of the Iowa City Community. Such lack of discipline will go undetected by the CPRB under the current system. Further, instead of being able to raise public awareness as to the lack of appropriate accountability for misconduct in the ICPD, the CPRB report would be suggestive that the ICPD was correctly managing complaints of misconduct in so far as it sustained (concurred With) the ICPD's finding of misconduct. This hypothetical shows that it may do little good, or actual harm, for the CPRB to only report on the issue of whether misconduct occurred, without being able to review and opine as to the corresponding consequences when misconduct is found to have occurred. Establishing a process through which the CPRB can review and report on disciplinary,,decisions administered by the Chief of Police/City Manager will greatly improve the oversight into how -the ICPD holds its officers accountable for misconduct, increase transparency, and raise community confidence in the board's oversight capabilities. c. Additional comments/concerns for consideration Consensus for proposing this change was reached by the CPRB as the members found it carefully navigated the line of allowing the CPRB to remain an advisory review board and not an administration board. That is, the CPRB would still be reviewing decisions made by the administers, as opposed to administering discipline itself. The issue of how much administrative functions the CPRB should be given, especially related to discipline, was the most debated subject for the CPRB. The majority opted to 2 remain an advisory board for reasons that include: (1) that members are not trained in employment matters, police procedures, or administration tasks; (2) the need to preserve the administration autonomy of the Chief of Police to manage the department; and, (3) the potential liability that would attach to CPRB members if they were the ones determining employment matters such as discipline. Careful consideration must be given to protect the confidentiality of information such as discipline information. It is understood that some legislative changes must occur to allow for a CPRB review to be an exception to the confidentiality laws regarding discipline information. It is believed that legislation could be narrowly tailored to permit such disclosures. This may only be possible if the discipline part of the review were to remain confidential between the City Council and the CPRB and not be a public record. Even with this limitation, the public could still have assurances that the discipline in cases where misconduct is found is being reviewed, and that the CPRB can bring concerns to the City Council in cases where the CPRB does not find the discipline to be reasonable or fair. Further, legislation should be drafted so as to limit liability that may attach to a CPRB volunteer for any accidental disclosure of confidential information. d. Additional sources relevant to the proposed change Some police review boards across the nation have access to disciplinary information and varying degrees of related authority. In Daytona for example, the Police Department will "provide the board with the full internal affairs file, unless any portions are determined to be exempt from disclosure or confidential by law." (Daytona Beach close to launching Citizens' Police Review Board, 202%. The review board will "discuss the allegations of a case, the adequacy of the investigation, the final discipline that was meted out, and whether the police leadership response was appropriate" during their public meetings. Id. In addition, "[t]he board will issue a written report that includes the name of the complainant, the name of the accused officer or officers, a summary of the allegations and board members' decisions to agree or disagree with the disciplinary findings." Id. II. PROPOSED CHANGE 2 —THE CPRB SHALL HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO REQUEST THE CITY COUNCIL HAVE A DISCIPLINARY HEARING. a. Proposed Change 2 .y y C•� The CPRB proposes that there be a mandatory meeting within 30 days of the CPRB's request to the Chief of Police/City Manager between the CPRB and the Chief of Police/City Manager to discuss the discrepancy in their respective opinions on the reasonableness and fairness of the discipline the Chief/City Manager propose to administer. This meeting would occur only in instances when- ~fall of the following circumstances exist: 1. There has been a finding of misconduct in a complaint; 2. The Chief and/or City Manager have disclosed a report with all information on their decision of how the officer will be disciplined for the misconduct (this assumes proposed change 1 has been accepted); and, 3. The CPRB disagrees with the reasonableness or fairness of the discipline to be administered by the Chief and/or City Manager. If, through the course of the meeting, the discrepancy is resolved either due to the Chief/City Manager having made an independent decision to change the discipline to be administered, or the CPRB changing their majority opinion as to the reasonableness and fairness of the discipline, the CPRB report will note that the meeting occurred and that the CPRB agrees to the reasonableness and fairness of the discipline the Chief/City Manager have determined to administer in the meeting. If, despite the meeting, the CPRB cannot conclude that the discipline to be administered by the Chief of Police is reasonable and fair, then the CPRB shall have the discretion to either (1) issue a report detailing their disagreement with the discipline, or (2) make an additional request that the City Council for Iowa City ("City Council") conduct a disciplinary hearing to independently determine whether the proposed discipline is reasonable and fair. In the event of a hearing, the CPRB shall be allowed to attend, and, in any event, be informed of all outcomes related to the hearing and/or disciplining of the officer. b. Reasoning for the proposal The majority of the CPRB believe that this proposed change would allow for the effective oversight of the disciplining of officers in cases where misconduct is found, while allowing the CPRB to remain an agent for community review and not an administrator. The goal of the review is to try to ensure that the operations of the ICPD are in line with the interests of the community. This goal can be best achieved, when, in instances of disagreement between the CPRB and the Chief/City Manager as to the appropriateness of the discipline to be administered when misconduct is found, a meeting can be held to try to reconcile the discrepancy. The CPRB is not trained or authorized in matters of disciplining police officers or employment law. Deference to the Chief/City Manager's autonomy in their capacity to govern the ICPD and their knowledge of inner working in the police department beyond the discipline of a particular case must also be given. The meeting is a forum that would allow for additional consideration of the Chiefs/Manager's position that may better inform the CPRB members of the reasonableness and fairness of the discipline to be administered. Similarly, the CPRB might inform the Chief/Manager of the community's concerns and values as it relates to disciplining of the officer(s) for the misconduct found. Thus, the meeting in instances of incongruity of opinions between the ICPD and the CPRB, would hopefully resolve the discrepancy. Such resolution would potentially save time and tax -payer money by foregoing the potential for a disciplinary hearing. The meeting is very similar to recent ordinance changes proposed by the CPRB aa'nd adopted by the City Council, to allow a meeting between the Chief/City Manager with the CPRB when there is a discrepancy between the finding of whether misconduct occurred by the Chief/City ManageVand the CPRB. The CPRB requests the additional authority of being able to recommend that the City Council conduct a disciplinary hearing in cases where the CPRB and the ICPD disagree on the reasonableness and fairness of the discipline in cases when misconduct is found. The CPRB believes this gives some "teeth" to its findings that may not just be ignored by the ICPD in cases where there is a discrepancy. Importantly, though, this change would still leave the CPRB being a "review" board, as the administrative functions for determining and implementing the discipline would remain in the hands of the City Council and/or the Chief/City Manager. The effectiveness of the CPRB having the authority to recommend to the City Council to hold an independent disciplinary hearing for an officer should not be understated. First, it is the consensus of the CPRB that sunlight is the best disinfectant, and shining light on discipline matters 4 that need additional review for the public has bite itself. In addition, the very real threat of City Council conducting a full disciplinary hearing, and certainly the consequences if the discipline proposed to be administered by the ICPD was found to be unreasonable and unfair by the City Council after such a hearing, give the CPRB's recommendations real effect. C. Additional comments/concerns for consideration The current CPRB is split on whether the CPRB should be given authority to administer discipline itself. A majority of the members are of the opinion that the CPRB should remain an advisory board as opposed to an administrative board rely on the following points in support of their position: The CPRB is not trained in employment law or matters of disciplining officers. • The CPRB should not over -compromise the Chief of Police from carrying out administrative functions. Privacy laws rightfully protect dissemination of sensitive employment information that would be required to be disclosed to make a truly informed decision on the administering of discipline in any situation. • Liability would attach to members of the CPRB when they make determinations affecting an officer's employment. The CPRB members are appointed, and not elected as officials to make such a decision for the community. Some members of the current CPRB urge that the CPRB be given the power to administer discipline. In support of their position, they contend that CPRB decisions on misconduct are irrelevant unless their decisions carry the power to issue corresponding discipline. They would like the CPRB to have the authority to: ID Discipline an officer for misconduct; Discipline an officer for failing to cooperate with an interview or investigation into the complaint; Require an officer to participate in mediation with a complainant; Call for a public hearing to hire/fire an officer or Chief of Police; and, ■ If there were a disciplinary hearing that there be opportunities for the public to comment and the final decision as to the appropriate discipline to administer would be made by a majority vote of the combined bodies of the CPRB and the City Council. CPRB members wanting authority to discipline officers directly contend that such authority and public disclosure of the disciplining of an officer is necessary to enhance the understanding of -the officers of the ICPD's interactions with citizens, give opportunities to explain officer actions to citizens, enhance satisfaction with the complaint process, empower the community members — complainant and non -complainants alike, give opportunity to learn from mistakes of officers, and enhance the opportunity to meet community goals. They further contend with regards to the public hearing for hiring/firing of the Chief of Police, that such a public event would greatly improve the community confidence in their oversight of the ICPD by allowing real feedback and accountability to the community members directly. Ultimately, the consensus of the CPRB was propose the limited change for the CPRB to allow it to review discipline matters and, in the cases where the CPRB disagreed with the ICPD as to the reasonableness and fairness of the discipline, to have authority to request the City Council have a disciplinary hearing. d. Additional sources relevant to the proposed change Regarding the authority to review or administer discipline: o The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Citizen Review Board makes recommendations to the Sheriff regarding discipline, policies, procedures, and programs (2020)" o Columbus, Ohio, has a measure on the ballot that would create a review board that would "make recommendations to the Division of Police, including recommendations for disciplinary actions if relevant. o The Virginia State Senate recently advanced a bill that would allow review boards to ""make binding disciplinary determinations in cases that involve serious breaches of departmental and professional standards.'° o Steven Morrison, a professor at the University of North Dakota School of Law, said police review "boards are probably better than nothing, but as far as changing things he believes they have minimal value unless they are given enforcement power."v Regarding the opinion of a minority group of the CPRB that the CPRB should have authority to require mediation between a complainant and officer(s): o According to a guide from the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, "[m]ediation focuses on mutual understanding, problem solving, and reconciliation - all vital aspects of increasing trust between parties."°' The guide further details mutually beneficial outcomes for mediation. Id. The guide reports that, "[i]n a series of focus groups in Omaha, Nebraska, individuals were asked to discuss whether they would file a complaint in response to a hypothetical incident of police misconduct and what they wanted to achieve if they did. Many participants indicated a desire for an explanation or apology from either the officer or a responsible official, or they wanted an opportunity to express their views to the officer in person." Id. = o The Alberta Law Enforcement Review Board found that in some instances, "all the citizen wants is an apology" and that mediation provides the officer with a forum in which to "explain to a citizen why he or she acted in a particular manner" (Alberta Law Enforcement Review Board 1997)111. "Research indicates that complainants who choose mediation do report higher levels of satisfaction than those who choose the traditional process." Id. o "Mediation introduces a new dimension to police accountability. In traditional complaint procedures, an officer accused of misconduct is directly accountable only to other police officers: internal affairs investigators, the immediate supervisor, and, in some instances, the chief of police °"'(Walker 2001). The officer never has to directly face or account to the citizen who has filed the complaint. In contrast, an officer participating R in mediation is directly accountable to the citizen who filed the complaint. Mediation may help personalize American policing." Id. o In her report on community justice, restorative justice, and community policing, Caroline Nicholl explains that community justice "is shifting criminal justice from a purely adversarial approach to include problem -solving methods'" (Nichol] 2000a). o The DOJ paper would be a tremendous resource in planning as it goes beyond the benefits of mediation and details various practical ways to create a program. It states that "mediation is much less expensive than traditional complaint investigations. The Minneapolis Civilian Review Authority (CRA) pays a flat rate of $2,000 a year to the Minneapolis Mediation Center (a community -based nonprofit organization supported by funding from city and county government agencies, civic organizations, and individuals and clients) to provide mediators, who work pro bono, to handle police cases." o There is a nonprofit mediation center in Iowa City, Mediation Services of Eastern Iowa (About Us - MSEI, 2020)X', with the structure in place like suggests. Regarding the authority to hire/fire the Chief of Police: o In Oakland, California the Mayor is required "to appoint any new Chief of Police from a list of candidates provided by the Commission" (2020)x" III. PROPOSED CHANGE 3 —THAT AN ACCUSED OFFICER BE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH A CPRB INVESTIGATIONOR BE DISCIPLINED BY THE CHIEF OF POLICE/CITY MANAGER. a. Proposed change 3 — The CPRB is requesting that the ordinances be changed so that the Chief of Police shall discipline an officer in the event an officer does not cooperate fully with a CPRB investigation. Discipline should occur for failure to cooperate with an investigation regardless if the officer is the one accused of the misconduct. Cooperation includes appearing for, and giving thoughtful responses under oath to, interview questions by the CPRB. b. Reasoning for the proposal Currently, as part of the CPRB investigation, the CPRB has the authority to interview -witnesses, including officers, both accused and non -accused alike. However, there is no present duty or order that requires an officer to participate in the investigation or interview. Similarly, there is no repercussion to the officer for not participating. Without such a duty or repercussion, it is likely that an Officer will not participate in the investigation, respond to a request to be interviewed, or participate in a name -clearing hearing. Indeed, the collective experience of the CPRB over the years has proven this to be true. With such repercussions, it is much more likely the Officer's participation can be secured, greatly enhancing the CPRB's investigation and ensuring more accuracy of its findings and reporting. c. Additional comments/concerns for consideration At least some members of the current CPRB have concerns over the legality of compelling an officer to testify in instances of alleged misconduct, especially when the officer may be asked to provide self -incriminating information. 7 Also, and relatedly, officers may want or need to be represented by legal counsel to protect their interests. The CPRB, in kind, will likely also need an attorney present for consultation. This has the potential to add a large amount of taxpayer expense to the review process. It is hoped that the discretion of the CPRB would be exercised with this expense in mind so that the requirement for compelling testimony under oath would be used judiciously. It is believed such interviews may be compelled sparingly given the prevalent access to body -cameras, car -cameras, and other data that may make this part of the interview process superfluous. That said, without question, officers will be interviewed if deemed necessary to complete a thorough investigation of the facts. Further, in the interests of fairness, an officer would reasonably want the Complainant to be required to be interviewed as well. Hand in hand with this, is the chilling effect on community members filing a complaint if they may be interviewed by attorneys. d. Additional sources relevant to the proposed change None. IV. PROPOSED CHANGE 4 - A COMPLAINANT SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO RESPOND TO THE CHIEF'S FINDINGS IN THE CHIEF'S REPORT BEFORE THE CPRB SHALL CONDUCT ITS INVESTIGATION. a. Proposed Change 4— The CPRB is requesting that, after the Chief of Police/City Manager has issued a report to the CPRB with the findings of fact and whether allegations of misconduct are sustained, that a copy of that report be disclosed to a complainant. A complainant would then have opportunity to respond to the Chief/City Manager report for the CPRB to consider in advance of their investigation. b. Reasoning for the proposal Presently, the CPRB conducts its investigation after receiving a copy of the Chiefs report. -The Chiefs report summarizes a narrative -type complaint, identifies specific allegations of.misco,nduct, and makes conclusions for the same. In some instances the narrative complaint and the specific:allegations of misconduct are clear. In others, it may be somewhat challenging to ascertain all of the allegations in the Complaint — most likely prepared without the assistance of legal counsel. While the CPRB has the capacity in its review to interview a complainant in the cases of ambiguity of allegations of misconduct, this is not required. Further, there may be an unintended chilling effect on the filing of complaints if a complainant is required to be interviewed; many people would be uncomfortable about speaking to a panel of strangers investigating their sensitive matters. In any event, there is not any opportunity, otherwise, for a complainant to provide clarifying information or object to how the Chief/City Manager characterized the allegations of misconduct in their report. If a complainant were given an automatic opportunity to review the Chiefs report and respond to the CPRB in a timely fashion, the CPRB report can be more accurate, and it would be more likely that a complainant would feel his allegations were fairly identified and reviewed. c. Additional comments/concerns for consideration One can conceive that by providing a response after the ICPD has responded to a complaint may provide a complainant with a vehicle to keep tacking on complaints. Such a step might allow "too many bites at the apple." Also, in the interests of equity, the Chief and/or City Manager may want or need to have an opportunity to respond to any additional report of misconduct or clarification by the Complainant. At some point the process must stop and run its course. Still, it is believed that with careful procedural guidelines, a response from the Complainant could be incorporated that would benefit the CPRB's review. d. Additional sources relevant to the proposed change None. V. PROPOSED CHANGE 5 —THE ONLINE DATABASE OF OFFICER COMPLAINTS SHALL BE IMPROVED TO ALLOW FOR QUICK SEARCHES OFCOMPLAINT HISTORY AND A COMPUTERIZED RISK -MANAGEMENT SYSTEM TO ANALYZE TRENDS. a. Proposed Change 5 — The CPRB is requesting that the online public database be enhanced so that one can search complaints, discipline, and training records of any officer. Currently, to protect sensitive identifying information such as the officer's name, each officer of the ICPD has been assigned an individual tracking number. This number can be used in lieu of officers' names to allow for tracking of complaints, reports on complaints, discipline, and training records for any officer while still protecting the privacy and safety of the officers. Notably, the database shall include all complaints, not just those filed by members of the community or through the CPRB process. The database shall be searchable for snapshots for the number and type of complaints in any month or any year, their resolution, and any trends. A. computerized risk -management tracking system should be implemented to quickly analyze data in search of trends. b. Reasoning for the proposal The CPRB believes that data tracking is important to its effectiveness of examining trerfas and repeated instances of misconduct carried out by a few of the officers. When evidence shows that officers who engage in misconduct tend to do so repeatedly, it is vital to be able to identify officers who have emerging patterns of complaints. Treating each complaint as an isolated incident without tracking data of individual officers makes it impossible to discover problematic officers and remove them from public engagement. Having a database online that allows the public to quickly identify all complaints for an officer will allow patterns of conduct for an individual officers to be identified and investigated. Similarly, snapshots of the type of complaints over a month, and a year, will allow for identification of trends and areas where more oversight is needed. Further, if the CPRB is given authority to review discipline, having access to other complaints, discipline, and training will be important to assess the reasonableness and fairness of the discipline. The database should be searchable type of complaint, and findings of misconduct, on a monthly and annual 41 report, and identify the officers under the categories. This would allow any member of the community to see the trends and raise concern in the public section of the CPRB meetings. While some members of the CPRB would like names to be released, the clear majority disagreed out of concern for officer safety. A compromise was reached whereby each officer will be assigned a unique, consistent, anonymous identification number that would accompany each complaint, to allow for more thorough tracking and review while still protecting the privacy of the officer. c. Additional comments/concerns for consideration Extreme caution should be taken to protect against disclosure of identifying information of officers outside of their tracking number to protect the safety of the officer. d. Additional sources relevant to the proposed change Regarding the need to identify repeat offenders/trends: o According to a 2001 National Institute of Justice Research Brief (Walker, Alpert and Kenney, 2020)1"', "10 percent of officers cause 90 percent of the problems," and investigations have revealed that approximately "two percent of all officers are responsible for 50 percent of all citizen complaints." o A publication by the West Virginia Advisory Committee to the US Commission on Civil Rights states that "Improving existing accountability procedures will assist in preventing police misconduct and will provide the public with confidence that such acts of misbehavior will be documented and that officers will be disciplined accordingly.""'° Regarding the use of tracking systems: o Computerized tracking systems have been installed in various police departments across the nation, including the Pittsburgh city police, the Los Angeles Police Department, and the New Jersey State Police, among others. In Pittsburgh, reports of police misconduct have dropped by more than half on average since the tracking system was installed" (Chapter 4: Alternative Models for Police Disciplinary Procedures, 2020)'° VI. PROPOSED CHANGE 6 — ALL COMPLAINTS OF MISCONDUCT SHALL BE INCLUDED IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT'S MONTHLY DISCLOSURES TO THE CPRB. a. Proposed Change 6— The CPRB is requesting that copies of all complaints filed by a community member to the ICPD be included with the monthly packet of information the ICPD discloses to the CPRB. b. Reasoning for the proposal Currently, the CPRB is only given the reports from community members that are made to the CPRB directly, as well as a quarterly summary of complaints made to the ICPD. If the CPRB is provided with copies of the reports made to the ICPD and not the CPRB, it allows for the CPRB to exercise 10 discretion for doing additional independent investigation of the complaint. Disclosure on a monthly basis would allow the CPRB to do so in a timely fashion. Also, since the George Floyd incident, it has become even more obvious that many persons in our community did not have knowledge of the CPRB or its functions. There is a very real possibility that complainants may not have knowledge of the CPRB when filing a complaint directly with the ICPD. This is especially true with Iowa City being a college town with many students temporarily transplanted in Iowa City. Having the reports filed with the ICPD within a month of when they were filed would help protect against these community members missing out on the oversight of the CPRB in instances they did not know of the CPRB. c. Additional comments/concerns for consideration None. d. Additional sources relevant to the proposed change None. VII. PROPOSED CHANGE 7 - CPRB SHALL BE PROVIDED WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT QUARTERLY REPORTS TO REVIEW FOR CERTAIN TRENDS a. Proposed Change 7— The CPRB is requesting that, included in the quarterly reports provided by ICPD, that it also be given the following information: i. Total number of detained individuals; ii. Demographics of the individuals detained; iii. Total number of arrested individuals; and, iv. Demographics of those arrested. b. Reasoning for the proposal Perhaps as important as providing an independent examination and report of individual claims, is to provide such oversight for trends and larger ways in which the Iowa City Police are executing its duties on a day-to-day basis. While the CPRB is provided with some information already to assist with such larger oversight, some additional information would be useful to help protect against intentional or unintentional bias or disproportionate outcomes. c. Additional comments/concerns for consideration None. d. Additional sources relevant to the proposed change None. 11 Vill. PROPOSED CHANGE 8 — CPRB SHOULD HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO HIRE AN INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO REVIEW THE POLICE DEPARTMENT'S INTERNAL INVESTIGATION PROCEDURES. a. Proposed Change 8— The CPRB is requesting that it be given authority and sufficient funding to hire an independent auditor to review ICPD's internal investigation procedures. b. Reasoning for the proposal Since ultimate authority for investigatory outcomes is held by the ICPD, it is vital to ensure that its procedures are unbiased, complete, and follow best practices. A regularly scheduled independent audit (every 1-2 years at the CPRB's discretion) would provide an opportunity for the Police Department to receive consistent review and recommendations for improvement that can be implemented in the interims. In addition, the CPRB should have the authority to recommend an audit if they believe that there is an immediate procedural issue that cannot be reconciled through other means. None. c. Additional comments/concerns for consideration d. Additional sources relevant to the proposed change Other cities that have used independent auditors to review police procedures include but are not limited to: o Charleston SC (hilps'/Lwww.charleston-sc.gov/2250/Racial-Bias-Audit). o North Charleston SC, (Yee, 2020)-i (Dennis and Yee, 2020)"' , o Salem NH, (Audit of Community Policing Policies, Procedures and Programs, 2020)-iii (Police Audit I Salem NH, 2020)x'x, o Albany NY (https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Albany,-hiring-firm-to-study- racial -bias -in- olice-15509749. h ), o Roswell (https://www.ajc.com/news/local/rosweII-pay-77k-for-external-audit-police- department/EfCl6kzsYigRhzhIOBUYSK/ ), o Vallejo CA (https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/north-bay/vallei6'to-release- third- a -audit-of- olice-de t-next-week 2308338 ), o Eugene OR (htt s: www.eugene-or.gov/DocumentCenter/View/18785/Civilian-Review- Board-Policies), o Los Angeles CA, (http://www.lal)dotiiine.org/inside the lad content basic View 8772) IX. PROPOSED CHANGE 9 — CPRB SHALL BE PROVIDED CITY FUNDING TO PROMOTE AWARENESS OF THE CPRB AND ENHANCE ACCESSIBILITY TO ITS SERVICES. a. Proposed change 9— The CPRB is requesting that it have sufficient funds provided to advertise its existence, services, and make its services more accessible to the public. This would include, but not be limited to, funds for 12 outreach activities, meetings being streamed live, and enhancements to the website to make them more user friendly. b. Reasoning for the proposal After the George Floyd incident and the protests, attendance at our meetings and public forum was high, and a common report from feedback from the community was that they did not previously know of the CPRB. It was also obvious many in the community who were informed enough to attend the CPRB forum did not have a clear understanding of the purpose or function of the CPRB. Presently, there is little effort or funding provided to inform the community about the CPRB. To be effective, the CPRB needs to improve public engagement. The CPRB proposes the following specifically: 1. Making the CPRB website more user friendly; 2. Having all CPRB meetings live streamed on the City of Iowa City Facebook page (and posted about on that page in advance), 3. Holding community forums twice a year, 4. Having basic CPRB contact info printed on the back of every police officer card. (The suggestion was offered during our 2020 Community Forum by one of the longtime community members who just recently learned of the CPRB); 5. Having funds to host other awareness activities from time to time; and, 6. Having information about the CPRB services provided to every community member at the time they are issued a citation or at the time they are released from custody in the event they were arrested. c. Additional comments/concerns for consideration None. d. Additional sources relevant to the proposed change The Eugene, OR CRB Code states that its board is to "conduct outreach activities and disseminate information throughout the community" and "seek open, candid and non -defensive dialogue with stakeholders to both educate and learn from different communities in Eugene." (EUGENE CIVILIAN REVIEW BOARD POLICIES and PROCEDURES MANUAL)- X. PROPOSED CHANGE 10 —COMPLAINANTS SHALL HAVE ACCESS TO A LAWYER AND SOCIAL WORKER/MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL WITH TRAUMA AWARENESS TRAINING FOR PURPOSES OF ASSISTING COMPLAINANTS THROUGHOUT THE COMPLAINT PROCESS. a. Proposed Change 10 — The CPRB proposes that community members have access to both legal counsel and a social worker or other medical professional with trauma awareness training for purposes of facilitating and assisting complainants with a CPRB complaint throughout the complaint process. 13 b. Reasoning for the proposal It is reasoned that community members file complaints against officers because they believe they have been wronged. It is therefore important to acknowledge that the experience may have been traumatic for a complainant. Indeed, some community members have reported the trauma from the underlying event, and a separate trauma from fear associated with reporting the complaint, including fear of retaliation, fear of sharing a personal traumatic event, and fear of their claims being judged as either validated or invalidated. Such trauma deserves a trained professional to help a complainant at the outset of the complaint process and through to its resolution. It should be recognized that in CPRB complaints, there is an inherent imbalance of power due to the complaints being against an officer who has several advantages including access to reports and information, familiarity with procedures and personnel, and levels of tort immunity. While the CPRB tries to be accessible to all members of the community and strives to make the complaint process as straight forward as possible, the process can be daunting and pose certain challenges. This may be especially true for marginalized populations such as community members that are undocumented, unhoused, sex workers, drug users, and/or formerly incarcerated. Put simply, some members of the community simply do not have the capacity or resources to file an effective complaint. Having access to legal counsel would greatly assist community members with the filing of complaints. They will be informed of legalities, have clarity of the process, as well as other assistance that would greatly enhance the complaint process. c. Additional comments/concerns for consideration At least some members of the CPRB are of the opinion that If Iowa City provides the complainant services such as use of a lawyer and/or social worker/medical professional with trauma awareness training, that the mere act of providing such .services would be an admission of culpability by the City on behalf of the ICPD for its alleged conduct in any complaint. Further, such services could be laying a foundation for a complainant to initiate legal actions against an officer and/or Iowa City regardless of the actual merits of a complaint. The majority of the CPRB believe that Iowa City can provide the legal and medical services for a complainant without acknowledging culpability. To the contrary, legal counsel and trauma/medical professionals for the complaint process in some instances might facilitate a more thorough and meaningful resolution of an incident for a complainant — regardless of the complaint being sustained or even filed. Having assistance to understand the events and processes might reduce the need for additional litigation and draw a sense of closure and completeness to the incident in which the community member perceived to be harmed. d. Additional sources relevant to the proposed change Evidence suggests that individual -level secondary prevention interventions aimed at bolstering resilience and reducing the likelihood of adverse effects following trauma are effective." (authors & Magruder)."i "Trauma affects how victims see themselves" and "these beliefs affect how victims respond to services and the criminal justice system and underscore the importance of task forces taking a 14 trauma -informed approach, not only through service delivery but also throughout the investigation" process. (Human Trafficking Task Force e-Guide)-11. "Public health impact of trauma exposure is staggering for both communities and individuals" and that "the social environment can stimulate recovery after trauma." (authors & Magruder). a "The perception of social support has been found to be an influential factor for the effects of traumatic events on the individual as well as the community" (Kleber, 2019)x' "Many suggest that a true public health approach requires mental health integration beyond primary care to include sectors such as education, justice, welfare, and labor through partnerships with government, non -governmental organizations, and the faith -based community." (Collins, Insel, Chockalingam, Daar, & Maddox, 2013: Ko et al., 2008) Providing a professional trained in trauma awareness to complainants would be a step towards such integration. Urbana, Illinois Community Police Review Board has a designated representative to provide mental support and other relevant assistance with the complaint process for the complainant. (https://www.citv.urbana.il.usl Agendas - Packets - Minutes/Agendas 2005 07-10- 2006 Citizen Police Review Ordinance ❑raft. df). See, also: Columbia, Missouri (htt s: www,como. ov law w -content/uploads/sites/5/2016/04/CPRB-Brochure.pdf), Dallas, Texas (http://rnothersagainstpolicebrutality.org/wp-content/uoioads/2018/03/Task-Force- Re art-on-Citizen-Review-of-Police-lS-Februar -2017-FINAL. df). XI. PROPOSED CHANGE 11— EXPAND THE MEMBERSHIP OF THE CPRB FROM FIVE TO SEVEN OR NINE MEMBERS, WITH AN EMPHASIS ON MINORITY REPRESENTATION AND REPRESENTATION FROM A CURRENT OR FORMER MEMBER OF THE POLICE OR POLICE POLICY EXPERT. a. Proposed Change 11— The CPRB requests to change its membership from the current five -member -board to having seven or nine members. In selecting from candidates for the CPRB, an emphasis shall be placed on persons being of a minority race, requiring at least four of the members shall be from a minority race. Further, it should be made mandatory that at least one member be a current or former member of the police force or otherwise considered an expert in police procedures and/or police policies. b. Reasoning for the proposal Having additional members increases the diverse opinions of the board, will disperse the workload, and allow for larger subgroups to meet without constituting a quorum and triggering the public meeting requirement. As is, the current members are volunteering time to review individual complaints. This almost always entails watching hours of video footage, possible additional investigations, procedural discussions, voting, report writing, and review of report before its filing. Members also review various police ordinances and policies, as well as quarterly reports from the police. Besides this, members are tasked with writing public forum reports, and, from time to time, having various sub -committees for purposes of completing tasks. Presently, subcommittees can only be comprised of two members as more would entail a forum requiring a public meeting. There is a large 1s time and workload commitment required of the CPRB members. Proposed change outlined in this document would only increase, in some cases dramatically, the amount of work being carried by a five - member volunteer board. With additional members, the individual burden would be lessened. With regards to the composition being favorable to minority groups, this stems from an agenda to help achieve racial equality in the justice system. Objective data points to clear racial disparities in policing on a statewide and national level. Having a minimum composition of members from minority groups for overseeing the police would help protect minority interests in the carrying out of CPRB reviews. The Board feels there should be no less than three members who are of a minority race if the CPRB is increased to seven members, and no less than four members who are of a minority race if the CPRB is increased to nine members for its composition. To help ensure fairness and equity in the review process, the recommendation that one member of the board have a police background shall become mandatory. It is important that, when reviewing police conduct, someone with police experience and training be consulted. If there were concerns over objectivity, perhaps the residency requirements for this member should be waived, and/or a police procedure expert be retained for the CPRB to consult with regularly during the closed sessions. c. Additional comments/concerns for consideration None. d. Additional sources relevant to the proposed change None. XII. PROPOSED CHANGE 12 - CPRB complaints should be permitted whether filed anonymously or through third persons so long as there is sufficient knowledge of the underlying circumstances. a. Proposed Change 12 — The CPRB is requesting that complaints be permitted whether they are filed anonymously or through third persons without naming individual complainant, so long a sufficient personal knowledge of the underlying circumstances is alleged in the complaint. b. Reasoning for the proposal The purpose of the CPRB is to provide effective community oversight of the ICPD. If information can be brought forward to help identify instances of misconduct without the need of the person who was perceived to have been harmed being personally named, the CPRB procedures should allow it, provided there are sufficient safeguards against unfounded complaints being filed. Allowing for anonymity may well remove a very real obstacle preventing community members from filing complaints: fear of public humiliation and/or retaliation by those implicated in the complaint. This could especially be true with several marginalized members of the community including those that are undocumented, unhoused, sex workers, drug users, and/or those formerly incarcerated. These members statistically have a higher number of interactions with the police and are more likely to be 16 subject to police misconduct. This change would provide some assurances that they can file a complaint without retaliation. Perception of fairness and equity is also important for the community members to have faith in the CPRB system. Currently, for a CPRB complaint, the identity of the complainant is disclosed while the identity of an officer implicated in a complaint of misconduct is not. This seems inequitable, especially considering the inherent power imbalance in filing a complaint against a police officer, and can be resolved with the option to file anonymously. To protect against unfettered complaints being filed against officers, a threshold requirement for the complainant to allege sufficient facts to demonstrate the complainant has personal knowledge of the underlying circumstances alleged in a complaint should be put in place. c. Additional comments/concerns for consideration Some members of the CPRB are fearful that allowing a complaint without the identity of the complainant and their respective attestation to the truth of the statements (the current system), will open the floodgates for frivolous complaints. Those minority members believe the CPRB complaint process could be used to harass officers and deter them from interacting with certain members of the community that might try to use the process to retaliate against officers themselves. The majority of the CPRB believes that the safeguard of requiring demonstration of personal knowledge of the events will check potential abuses. Another procedural safeguard that could be put in place would be to give the CPRB authority to summarily dismiss a complaint if there is not enough credible information in the filing of an anonymous complaint. Further, until abuses of frivolous complaint filing occurs with regularity, the majority of the CPRB believes the benefits for incorporating this change outweigh the costs. Additional concerns have been raised about the procedural issues anonymous complaints will raise. For example, how will the Chief of Police/City Manager and the CPRB contact the complainant to inform them of the steps in the process? It is understood that as part of the Chiefs obligations under the current ordinance, Chief must interview a complainant; something that cannot be done if the complainant is anonymous. The majority members believe that there could be procedural changes such as a liaison contact or some requirement for contact information to be disclosed to the CPRB but remain confidential to the police and public. Currently, the officer's identity is kept confidential in the complaints. Thetis may be solutions akin to the confidentiality measures for the officers that could be extended to a complainant that would allow for anonymous complaints to be filed without procedural technicalities that would make them impossible. d. Additional sources relevant to consideration of the proposed change The National Association For Civilian Oversight of Law Enforcement (NACOLE) supports anonymous reporting and complaints of police misconduct may be filed anonymously in: Cleveland, OHS''°-v Anonymous reporting in Seattle, WA-vi Anonymous reporting in Wolcott, CTx"°" 17 XIII. PROPOSED CHANGE 13—THE STATUTE OF LIMITATION FOR FILING A CPRB COMPLAINT SHALL BE LENGTHENED FROM 90 DAYS AFTER THE DATE OF THE ALLEGED MISCONDUCT, TO 180 DAYS AFTER THE ALLEGED MISCONDUCT. a. Proposed Change 13 — The CPRB requests that the timeline for allowing a member of the community to file a complaint with the CPRB be extended from 90 days after the underlying incident of misconduct alleged in the complaint to 180 days from the same. b. Reason for the proposal When a community member has had an interaction with an officer that may warrant the filing of a complaint, there needs to be time to process the occurrence, and perhaps handle other ways the encounter impacted them including loss of job, criminal charges, and trauma. The CPRB believes 180 days from the date of the alleged incident better accommodates complainants with those circumstances. The CPRB further believes that such an extension still preserves the recency of the events so that memories may be recalled and evidence gathered. c. Additional comments/concerns for consideration Some members of the CPRB support having no statute of limitations. In support they site the trauma and fear that may be associated with being a victim of police misconduct that wow,*d take perhaps several years or more to bring forward. The majority of the CPRB members, however, believe the 180 days is a better balance between allowing sufficient time to file a complaint and Ote ability to investigate a complaint with recent evidence. d. Additional sources relevant to the proposed change For comparison, the deadline to file a complaint to either the Iowa Civil Rights Commission or the Iowa City Office of Equity and Human Rights is 300 days. xx""' 'The Daytona Beach News -Journal. 2020.

Goers, City Attorney ` Re: CPRB Proposals for Changes to Ordinance As requested, I have reviewed Recommendations 1, 2, 3, 5, 10 and 12 contained in the December 22, 2020 CPRB report to the City Council ("CPRB Report") to determine whether they are legally viable. My conclusions are set forth below. As the Council knows, Iowa municipalities enjoy broad home -rule authority to govern their affairs. Limitations to this authority are present when the state passes laws that either explicitly or impliedly preempt local laws. The state has done so with increased frequency over the past several years. In a similar vein, last year the New Jersey Supreme Court considered a challenge to a newly enacted local police review board, and the Court began its opinion as follows: This appeal involves a challenge to the City of Newark's (the City or Newark) authority to create by ordinance a civilian oversight board to provide a greater role for civilian participation in the review of police internal investigations and in the resolution of civilian complaints. Newark was the first municipality in this state to join others across the nation that have created a civilian oversight or review entity to increase police accountability and create stronger relationships between the community and the police. No two civilian oversight or review entities are alike in their genesis, their roles, or the legal landscape in which they arose and are controlled. This challenge to Newark's civilian oversight entity must be considered in the context of the landscape here in New Jersey. We conclude that state law permits the creation by ordinance of this civilian board with its overall beneficial oversight purpose. Such boards must operate consistently with current statutes, however.... The civilian review board's powers must comply with current legislative enactments unless the Legislature refines the law to specifically authorize certain functions that Newark intends to confer on its review board. Fraternal Order of Police v. City of Newark, 244 N.J. 75, 80-81, 236 A.3d 965, 967-78 (N.J. 2020). The same legal principle applies in Iowa - the CPRB's recommendations must be consistent with state law in order to be adopted by City Council and sustain possible legal challenge. CPRB PROPOSED CHANGE 1 — THAT IN INSTANCES OF A SUSTAINED MISCONDUCT COMPLAINT, THE CPRB BE GIVEN INFORMATION ABOUT THE CORRESPONDING DISCIPLINE, AND THAT THE CPRB BE ALLOWED TO INCLUDE IN ITS REPORT ITS FINDINGS ON WHETHER THE DISCIPLINE IS REASONABLE AND FAIR. Conclusion: This proposal cannot be adopted without changes to state law, as disciplinary records of all government employees are confidential. Discussion: Iowa's open records law is contained in Chapter 22 of the Iowa Code, and is often referred to as the Iowa Open Records Act. (Note that all subsequent references to provisions of a law (e.g., section 22.7) are to the Code of Iowa unless noted otherwise.) Section 22.7 is a list of public records that are confidential, and thus not available through open records requests. These include "personal information in confidential personnel records."Iowa Code Section 22.7(11). Employee disciplinary information is confidential as it is personal information in confidential personnel records." ACLU Foundation of Iowa v. Atlantic Community School District, 818 N.W.2d 231, 235 (Iowa 2012). Section 22.7(11) has been described by the Iowa Supreme Court as a "privacy exemption." These exemptions are often patterned after the federal Freedom of Information Act's privacy exemption for "personnel and medical files and similar files the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy." DeLaMater v. Marion Civil Service Comm'n, 554 N.W.2d 875, 878 (Iowa 1996). Section 22.7 states that confidential records "shall be kept confidential, unless otherwise ordered by a court, by the lawful custodian of the records, or by another person duly authorized to release such information." Although police officers' investigative reports that are confidential under Iowa Code 22.7(5) are released to the CPRB by the Police Chief as part of the confidential complaint investigation, releasing disciplinary records under 22.7(11) is problematic as this confidentiality exception was crafted by the legislature for the purpose of protecting the privacy of public employees. Atlantic Community School District, at 236. Furthermore, such protection is not subject to a balancing test as are police officers' investigative reports. Id. No balancing of interests is necessary for disciplinary records that fall clearly within the categorical exemption for "confidential personnel records", as opposed to the Court's three-part balancing test of Hawk Eye v. Jackson, 521 N.W.2d 750 (Iowa 1994), which is applicable for peace officers' investigative reports. Mitchell v. City of Cedar Rapids, 926 N.W.2d 222, 232-34 (Iowa 2019). The CPRB recognized the concern with the confidentiality of discipline records, stating: Careful consideration must be given to protect the confidentiality of information such as discipline information. It is understood that some legislative changes must occur to allow for a CPRB review to be an exception to the confidentiality laws regarding discipline information. CPRB Report, p. 3. In addition, Senate File 342, commonly referred to as the "Back the Blue" bill, was signed into law by Governor Reynolds on June 17t', 2021. It is lengthy and included a number of amendments to Iowa Code Chapter 80F, the "Peace Officer Bill of Rights." One such amendment prohibits law enforcement agencies from releasing complaints made against officers. "The employing agency shall keep an officer's statement, recordings, or transcripts of any interviews or disciplinary proceedings, and any complaints made against an officer confidential unless otherwise provided by law or with the officer's consent." Iowa Code section 80F.1(20). It is also important to note, as it comes up in connection with the discussion below of other CPRB recommendations, that the City Council does not have disciplinary authority over members of the police department. That authority resides with the Police Chief and the Civil Service Commission under Chapter 400 of the Iowa Code. Of course, the Council has authority to express its displeasure with the approach being taken by the Police Chief and address that in its employment relationship with the City Manager, but it cannot alter the discipline given to an officer by the Police Chief. CPRB PROPOSED CHANGE 2 — THE CPRB SHALL HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO REQUEST THE CITY COUNCIL HAVE A DISCIPLINARY HEARING. Conclusion: This proposal would require changes to state law as disciplinary authority currently resides with the Police Chief and the Civil Service Commission. Discussion: The CPRB proposes that there be a meeting between the Police Chief and the CPRB if the CPRB disagrees with the reasonableness or fairness of the discipline, and that if the disagreement is not resolved the CPRB have the discretion to: (1) issue a report detailing their disagreement with the discipline, or (2) make an additional request that the City Council conduct a disciplinary hearing to independently determine whether the proposed discipline is reasonable and fair. In the event of a hearing, the CPRB shall be allowed to attend, and, in any event, be informed of all outcomes related to the hearing and/or disciplining of the officer. Implicit in the proposal is the suggestion that the City Council has the authority to change the outcome of a disciplinary decision by the Police Chief. As noted above, the City Council does not have the authority to alter the discipline imposed on a police officer by the Police Chief. Under Iowa law, namely Chapter 400, it is the City's Civil Service Commission, not the Council, that has the authority to remove, discharge, demote or suspend an officer or review the Police Chief's removal, discharge, demotion or suspension of an officer in the event of an appeal by the officer. Iowa Code section 400.18(2). After a decision by the Civil Service Commission, either party may appeal the decision, but that appeal goes to the district court, not City Council. Iowa Code section 400.27(3). CPRB PROPOSED CHANGE 3 — THAT AN ACCUSED OFFICER BE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH A CPRB INVESTIGATION OR BE DISCIPLINED BY THE CHIEF OF POLICE/CITY MANAGER. Conclusion: This would require a change in state law giving the CPRB authority over discipline. Discussion: This proposed change, as noted by the CPRB on p. 7 of the CPRB report, raises issues conceming an officer's 5m Amendment right against self-incrimination. When the CPRB ordinance was first enacted in 1997, there were both policy and legal reasons for placing responsibility for the initial investigation with the Police Chief. The legal reasons were due to the 5th Amendment. To understand the issue, a quick review of the interplay between the 5th Amendment right and an officer's obligation to respond to questions posed by the disciplinary authority (in Iowa, the Police Chief) under threat of termination/discipline is warranted. Public employees, not just members of law enforcement, cannot be threatened with termination for failing to answer questions in a formal or informal civil proceeding, due to their right not to incriminate themselves in a criminal matter. Garrity v. New Jersey, 385 U.S. 493 (1967). The Fifth Amendment provides that no person 'shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself.' The Amendment not only protects the individual against being involuntarily called as a witness against himself in a criminal prosecution but also privileges him not to answer official questions put to him in any other proceeding, civil or criminal, formal or informal, where the answers might incriminate him in future criminal proceedings. McCarthy v. Arndstein, 266 U.S. 34, 40, 45 S. Ct. 16, 17, 69 L. Ed. 158 (1924), squarely held that '(t)he privilege is not ordinarily dependent upon the nature of the proceeding in which the testimony is sought or is to be used. It applies alike to civil and criminal proceedings, wherever the answer might tend to subject to criminal responsibility him who gives it. The privilege protects a mere witness as fully as it does one who is also a party defendant.' Lefkowitz v. Turley, 414 U.S. 70, 77 (1973). As a result of these cases and their progeny, when an ICPD officer is being questioned in a disciplinary setting, the officer is given a "Garrity warning," which provides, in part: • You have no right to remain silent at this administrative proceeding. You have an obligation to truthfully answer questions put to you. You are advised that your statements or responses constitute an official police report. • If you refuse to answer questions put to you, you will be ordered by a superior officer to answer the question. • If you persist in your refusal to answer after the order to answer has been given to you, or if you do not answer a question truthfully, you are advised that such refusal or untruthful answer constitutes a violation of the Rules and Regulations of the Iowa City Police Department and will serve as a basis for which your discharge may be sought. • You are further advised that by law any admission made by you during the course of this interrogation, examination or interview cannot be used against you in a subsequent criminal proceeding. As previously referenced, Iowa Code Chapter 80F governs investigations of peace officers following allegations of misconduct. Consistent with the Garrity warnings, 80F allows for the Chief of Police, or designee, to compel the officer's participation in an interview. "An officer being interviewed shall be advised by the interviewer that the officer shall answer the questions and be advised that the answers shall not be used against the officer in any subsequent criminal proceeding. " Iowa Code section 80F.1(6). Because the statements made during the compelled interview cannot be used against the officer in criminal court, the officer may be disciplined, up to and including termination, for refusal to answer questions as part of the officer's interview. However, the structure of that interview, and investigation, is tightly controlled by Chapter 80F. Section 80F.1(1)(d) states, "'Interview' means the questioning of an officer who is the subject of a complaint pursuant to the formal administrative investigation procedures of the investigating agency, if such a complaint may be the basis for seeking removal, discharge, or suspension, or other disciplinary action against the officer." Section 80F.1(1)(b) defines a "formal administrative investigation," in part, as one "ordered by a commanding officer of an agency or commander's designee." Chapter 80F dictates the procedures for the formal administrative investigation needed to take disciplinary action where an investigation is necessary to determine the merits of a complaint. Chapter 80F makes clear that officers must cooperate with the formal administrative investigation. However, section 80F.1(16) states that "an officer shall not be discharged, disciplined, or threatened with discharge or discipline in retaliation for exercising the rights of the officer enumerated in this section." The officer has no obligation to participate in an interview by the CPRB, and threatening an officer with discipline if they fail to cooperate would be a violation of Chapter 80F. Such a violation could impose liability on the City. "An officer shall have the right to bring a cause of action against any... organization ... for damages arising from... any other violation of this chapter including but not limited to actual damages, court costs, and reasonable attorney fees." Section 80F.1(13). Because state law places the authority to discipline an officer with the Police Chief and Civil Service Commission, it is my opinion that the CPRB does not have the authority to compel an officer to testify under threat of discipline. Therefore, statements given to the CPRB by an officer would not be compelled, but would instead be voluntary, and thus could be used against him/her in a criminal proceeding. Officers have the ability to invoke their privilege against self-incrimination in response to questions from the CPRB where those answers might tend to be self -incriminatory in future criminal proceedings. While the Iowa City Charter gives the CPRB subpoena authority, that authority does not override the 5th Amendment of the US Constitution. Section 5.01(B)(4) of the Charter. Given the Constitutional protections all people, including officers, enjoy, one would expect that even if officers could be ordered by the Chief to participate in CPRB interviews, they could, and likely would, simply invoke their right to remain silent, rendering the exercise fruitless. Case law on this issue is scarce and there is no law directly on point that governs in Iowa. The conclusion, however, is consistent with the U.S. Supreme Court's analysis of the 5th Amendment. See also, City and County of Denver v. Powell, 969 P.2d 776 (Col. Ct. App_ 1998) (officers entitled to assert 5th Amendment privilege and decline to answer questions of Denver Public Safety Commission because the Commission is not their employer and not part of the discipline process; subpoena power does not change result; distinguishing contrary result in New York case because there the New York police citizen review board "is an integral part of the discipline process"); Fraternal Order of Police v. City of Newark, 244 N.J. 75, 236 A.3d 965 (N.J_ 2020) (while Newark was not preempted by state law from creating a police review board, the board's investigatory powers conflicted with state law vesting Chief with disciplinary authority; Board could not conduct an internal investigation, a function circumscribed by state law, but could, after conducting its own investigation, recommend that an official internal investigation be commenced by the Police Chief at which point "the statutory rights of the officer... would pertain" although grant of subpoena authority to board was not valid); Cf Caruso v. Civilian Complaint Review Board, 158 Misc.2d 909 (Supreme Court, New York County NY 1993) (rejecting officers' request for injunction against being compelled to give testimony to civilian investigators of civilian complaint review board when law imposed on Chief the obligation to cooperate with board and Chief had ordered that failure to cooperate would be grounds for discipline). PROPOSED CHANGE 5 — THE ONLINE DATABASE OF OFFICER COMPLAINTS SHALL BE IMPROVED TO ALLOW FOR QUICK SEARCHES OF COMPLAINT HISTORY AND A COMPUTERIZED RISK -MANAGEMENT SYSTEM TO ANALYZE TRENDS. Conclusion: This would require a change in state law governing confidentiality of disciplinary records. Discussion: The CPRB itself has identified the key limitation of this proposed change — identifying officers. The CPRB Report states: While some members of the CPRB would like names to be released, the clear majority disagreed out of concern for officer safety. A compromise was reached whereby each officer will be assigned a unique, consistent, anonymous identification number that would accompany each complaint, to allow for more thorough tracking and review while still protecting the privacy of the officer. Extreme caution should be taken to protect against disclosure of identifying information of officers outside of their tracking number to protect the safety of the officer. CPRB Report, p. 10. The proposal is for the database to include all complaints, not just CPRB complaints. "The database shall be searchable for snapshots for the number and type of complaints, their resolution, and any trends." As discussed above, employee disciplinary information is confidential under Section 22.7(11) as it is "personal information in confidential personnel records." ACLU Foundation of Iowa v. Atlantic Community School District, 818 N.W.2d 231 (Iowa 2012). Additionally, this confidentiality exception was crafted by the legislature for the purpose of protecting the privacy of public employees. Atlantic Community School District, at 236. As described above, such protection is not subject to a balancing test as in the case of police officers' investigative reports. Id. No balancing of interests is necessary for disciplinary records that fall clearly within the categorical exemption for "confidential personnel records" contrary to the Court's three-part balancing test of Hawk Eye v. Jackson, 521 N.W.2d 750 (Iowa 1994). See Mitchell, at 232-34. An online database using an identification number may nonetheless result in an officer's disciplinary record not remaining confidential as required by state law. By way of example, assume I made a complaint against Officer Smith in June, 2020 for Reason X. As part of the intake, Officer Smith is assigned the "unique and consistent" identifying number of 569. Subsequently I review the online records and see that Officer 569 was the only officer against whom a complaint was submitted in June, 2020 for Reason X. Because I know the identity of Officer 569, any discipline in the database against Officer 569 is now known to me and thus Officer 569's personnel file is no longer confidential, contrary to state law. Similar outcomes would be likely in the case of press coverage of officer interactions in which the officer is identified by name. Finally, and as previously mentioned, Iowa Code section 80F.1(20), added by the "Back the Blue" bill to the Peace Officer Bill of Rights in June, states that "The employing agency shall keep ... any complaints made against an officer confidential unless otherwise provided by law or with the officer's written consent." Again, failure to follow this law could subject the City to liability under 80F.1(13). PROPOSED CHANGE 10 — COMPLAINANTS SHALL HAVE ACCESS TO A LAWYER AND SOCIAL WORKER/MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL WITH TRAUMA AWARENESS TRAINING FOR PURPOSES OF ASSISTING COMPLAINANTS THROUGHOUT THE COMPLAINT PROCESS. Conclusion: While this recommendation could be implemented, it presents logistical and perhaps ethical problems. Discussion: The City Attorney's Office has been asked to respond only to the recommendation to provide complainants with access to a lawyer. While this recommendation could be implemented, it presents logistical and perhaps ethical problems. The incident serving as a basis for the CPRB complaint could in some circumstances also serve as the basis for a lawsuit against the City/officer and/or a complaint of discrimination against the City/officer with the Iowa Civil Rights Commission, which the City Attorney's Office would defend. A lawyer retained for the complainant or by the complainant at the City's cost would likely need to advise the complainant of these potential additional remedies. Additionally, it is unclear how the City would go about connecting the complainant to a lawyer. For the reasons noted above, the City Attorney's Office should not be involved in that process. Would the CPRB connect the complainant with the lawyer? In terms of the logistics, my suggestion is to return to this issue after the CPRB provides you with detail on how they envision this would be done with the social worker part of the recommendation. Perhaps that information would lend more clarity to a possible framework for provision of an attorney through the same process. PROPOSED CHANGE 12 - CPRB complaints should be permitted whether filed anonymously or through third persons so long as there is sufficient knowledge of the underlying circumstances. Conclusion: This would require a change in both Iowa City City Code, requiring an interview of the complainant, and state law, requiring that complaints be signed by the complainant. Discussion: First, Iowa City City Code 8-8-5(B)(4) states that the "complainant shall be interviewed by the Police Department..." If the complainant is anonymous, that provision could not be followed. Of course, Council could amend the ordinance if you so chose. State law however, is less flexible. With respect to anonymous complaints, section 80F.1(1)(a) defines a complaint as follows: "'Complaint' means a formal written allegation signed by the complainant or a signed written statement by an officer receiving an oral complaint stating the complainant's allegation. " While the definition has always allowed for oral complaints given to an officer, the "Back the Blue" bill added the word "signed" to the oral complaint clause, making clear that the complainant needs to be identified. This aligns with the bill's amendment to section 80F.1(13), which expanded officers' rights to file suit for damages against those filing a false complaint, as well as against any other entity (including the City) violating those officers' rights. This suggests to me that allowing anonymous complaints may violate Chapter 80F, thus violating officers' rights, and subjecting the City to potential liability. Clearly the state weighed the interests of the public in holding officers accountable for their actions, even through anonymous complaints, against the interest of officers in not being harassed through frivolous claims filed against them, and came down in favor of the officers. We might disagree with that decision at the local level, but we're obligated to follow state law. As to third -party complaints, state law would not appear to preclude such a complaint, as long as the third -party has sufficient first-hand knowledge to articulate the complaint and is willing to sign it. This tracks the current CPRB ordinance. "A complaint to the board may be filed by any person with personal knowledge of an incident. 'Personal knowledge' means the complainant was directly involved in the incident or witnessed the incident." Iowa City Code 8-8-2(H). See also 8-8-3(B). However, the recommendation provides that the individual subject to the alleged misconduct would remain anonymous. One reason for this recommendation is the complainant's "fear of public humiliation" (CPRB Report, p 16), but the complainant's name is confidential. As the CPRB noted on page 17 of its report, if the individual subject to the alleged misconduct is not identified, it is hard to imagine how the complainant would be interviewed, as required. Copy to: Community Police Review Board Patrick J. Ford, Attorney for CPRB Geoff Fruin, City Manager Dustin Liston, Police Chief Kellie K. Fruehling, City Clerk CITY OF IOWA CITY MEMORANDUM Date: October 21, 2021 To: Community Police Review Board From: Geoff Fruin, City Manager Re: Community Police Review Board (CPRB) Recommendations Update On behalf of the City Council and City staff team, I wish to express my gratitude for your continued volunteer service to our community. Significant responsibility comes with your service on the CPRB. Ultimately, your role in ensuring fair, thorough, and accurate investigations, as well as offering feedback on policy and performance helps ensure that we execute on our stated mission of the Iowa City Police Department, which is "To work in partnership with the community, enhance trust, protect with courage and compassion, and empower victims of crime through excellence in service." The purpose of this memo is to update you on recent City Council discussions regarding the status of your thirteen recommendations from December 22, 2020. As a reminder, two of the recommendations have already been formally adopted by ordinance (recommendations #4 and #13). These expanded the complainant's ability to respond to the Police Chiefs findings and lengthened the statute of limitations for filing a complaint. Similarly, two recommendations not requiring City Council action were previously agreed upon between the CPRB and Police Chief (recommendations #6 and #7). These items included expanding reporting from the Police Department to the CPRB via the public meeting packets of the Board. After your September 20, 2021 meeting in which you discussed the remaining recommendations, the City Council held a public work session to advance their deliberations as well. At that meeting, the City Council made several decisions, including: Drop further consideration of those recommendations that were found to directly conflict with state law (recommendations #1, #2, #3, #5, and #12) Agreement that at anytime the CPRB feels that an independent audit of Police Department procedure is necessary that such a recommendation be forwarded by the CPRB to the City Council (recommendation #8) Concurrence with the recommendation to expand CPRB membership from five to seven with a strong preference for diverse representation and a law enforcement professional (recommendation #11). City staff will draft the required code language and forward that to the CPRB for review and comment prior to formal City Council consideration. The City Council also indicated an interest in awaiting your final recommendations regarding a budget and the possible partnership with a social worker / medical professional to aid complainants as needed (recommendations #9 and #10). With closure pending on those two items, all thirteen recommendations will have been fully considered. The City Council expressed their continued appreciation for all the work you, and previous members, have put into these recommendations.

To Everyone, Once again, thank you for serving all of the people of Johnson County during times that stress our connections to each other. Community conversations reveal personal vulnerabilities that are rarely shared. My best hope is that we will deepen our understanding and appreciation of each other's struggles and sacrifices. Attached you will find four PDFs: • Coralville Police Department • Iowa City Police Department • All Law Enforcement Agencies 911 Calls, Police Reponses, and Actions ■ For Posting and Sharing Online: A 10-page PDF that combines the three Group Graphs above. Tracking the Johnson County Sheriff's Department by itself is more difficult than focusing on the actions of one Police Department. The Sheriff's Department covers every location, in every town because we all know that response times can make a life and death difference. I hope to build civilian -friendly graphs that acknowledge how their travel paths, and their community knowledge serve to keep Johnson County seamlessly covered. They may be first on the scene when the JECC sends out a County -wide alert. Other times, they are present to support any town's Police Department. Their flexibility supports peacekeeping and unity throughout the County. So, on we go... As always, Mary Mary McCann (319) 594-5542 (No answer?
