NEW BUSINESS No new business
DRAFT
OLD BUSINESS The Board reviewed a revised copy of the PCRB video.
Hardy suggested adding contact information for those who
might be interested in serving on the Board. The Board
directed staff to remove the Senior Center from the brochure
for complaint form availability, since there is no longer a
PCRB office there. Hardy suggested to the Board to think
about how many copies of the tape they want and provide a
library copy for the public to view. Hardy and the Board
discussed a statement made by the City Manager regarding
the Boards part in the Police Department's accreditation
process and decided they would leave it in the video. The
Police Chief had some concerns regarding comments made
by Watson on training and racial profiling. The Board
decided to retain the comment on training in the video; and
requested editing the reference to "problem" from the racial
profiling comments. Hardy will work on the editing and bring
back the video for review.
PUBLIC
DISCUSSION Stratton asked Chief Winkelhake for clarification regarding
lost data and a quote he saw in the paper stating the data
hadn't been lost. The Police Department automated the data
collection process to make it as easy as possible, which led
to some problems with the data. In an attempt to integrate
systems it was discovered that more training was needed for
the officers to get information logged correctly. The Police
Department has attempted to find and adjust the previous
information that doesn't correlate between the CAD system
and the officer's reports but not all of it can be corrected.
Some changes have been made to the system and it should
be running 100% for January.
