Compliance Status:
Phase 1: In compliance
Phase 2: In compliance
Task 41: Use of Personnel Assessment System (PAS)
Requirements:
Within 375 days from the effective date of this Agreement, OPD shall develop a policy for use of
the system, including supervision and audit of the performance of specific members, employees,
supervisors, managers, and OPD units, as well as OPD as a whole. The policy shall include the
following elements:
1.
The Chief of Police shall designate a PAS Administration Unit. The PAS
Administration Unit shall be responsible for administering the PAS policy and, no
less frequently than quarterly, shall notify, in writing, the appropriate Deputy
Chief/Director and the responsible commander/manager of an identified
member/employee who meets the PAS criteria. PAS is to be electronically
maintained by the City Information Technology Department.
2.
The Department shall retain all PAS data for at least five (5) years.
3.
The Monitor, Inspector General and Compliance Coordinator shall have full
access to PAS to the extent necessary for the performance of their duties under
this Agreement and consistent with Section XIII, paragraph K, and Section XIV of
this Agreement.
4.
PAS, the PAS data, and reports are confidential and not public information.
5.
On a quarterly basis, commanders/managers shall review and analyze all
relevant PAS information concerning personnel under their command, to detect
any pattern or series of incidents which may indicate that a member/employee,
supervisor, or group of members/employees under his/her supervision may be
engaging in at-risk behavior. The policy shall define specific criteria for
determining when a member/employee or group of members/employees may be
engaging in at-risk behavior.
6.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the PAS policy to be developed, the
Department shall develop policy defining peer group comparison and
methodology in consultation with Plaintiffs’ Counsel and the IMT. The policy
shall include, at a minimum, a requirement that any member/employee who is
identified using a peer group comparison methodology for complaints received
during a 30-month period, or any member who is identified using a peer group
comparison methodology for Penal Code §§69, 148 and 243(b)(c) arrests within
a 30-month period, shall be identified as a subject for PAS intervention review.
For the purposes of these two criteria, a single incident shall be counted as “one”
even if there are multiple complaints arising from the incident or combined with
an arrest for Penal Code §§69, 148 or 243(b)(c).
7.
When review and analysis of the PAS threshold report data indicate that a
