Seventeenth Quarterly Report of the Independent Monitor for the Oakland Police Department April 28, 2014 Page 13 3. Criteria shall be established which must be met prior to moving, from “open” to “closed,” any investigation in the complaint database.5 (Negotiated Settlement Agreement III. D.) Background: Only two provisions of Task 4 (4.7 and 4.10) are being actively monitored under the MOU. During all of the previous reporting periods, we found OPD in compliance with both of these requirements. Overall, we found that complaints received by any supervisor or commander were reported to IAD on the day of receipt or at the start of the next business day. We also found that OPD complied with criteria it has established when resolving complaints via informal complaint resolution, administrative closure, or summary finding. Discussion: There are four Departmental policies that incorporate the requirements of Tasks 4.7 and 4.10: • Department General Order M-03: As previously reported, OPD published Department General Order M-03, Complaints Against Department Personnel and Procedures, on December 6, 2005. General Order M-03 was revised in February 2008, and again in June 2013. The revised policy also incorporates the requirements of these subtasks. • Department General Order M-3.1: As previously reported, OPD published Department General Order M-3.1, Informal Complaint Resolution Process, which incorporates the requirements of these subtasks, on December 6, 2005. General Order M-3.1 was revised in February 2008, and August 2008. The revised policy also incorporates the requirements of these subtasks. • Special Order 8552: As previously reported, OPD published Special Order 8552, Update of Departmental Training Bulletin V-T.1, Internal Investigation Procedure Manual, on February 1, 2007. This policy incorporates the requirements of these subtasks. • Communications Division Policy & Procedures C-02: As previously reported, OPD published Communications Division Policy & Procedures C-02, Receiving and Logging Complaints Against Personnel and Use of Force Incidents, on April 6, 2007. This policy incorporates the requirements of these subtasks. As the Department has trained at least 95% of relevant personnel on these policies, we find OPD in continued Phase 1 compliance with this Task. 5 The underlined requirements are the only provisions of Task 4 that are being actively monitored under the MOU.
