Seventeenth Quarterly Report of the Independent Monitor for the Oakland Police Department April 28, 2014 Page 52 complainant; and documentation of the report and investigation are kept in a confidential file maintained by the IAD Commander. Since monitoring began under the NSA, OPD has received only four such confidential reports. No new confidential reports were received during the period from October 1, through December 31, 2013. There were 85 new hires during the current reporting period. All were briefed/trained on confidential reporting procedures as required by Task 33. All of the new employees signed documents to memorialize the training that is a part of the hiring module/practice before new employees report for duty/assignment. We previously removed OPD from Phase 2 compliance due to the failure of its officers to report misconduct during the Occupy Oakland events. OPD management is making progress in this area through training and efforts to secure use of PDRDs by its officers. In this and the past two reporting periods, we found no instance where a failure to report misconduct was unaddressed. Further, top management, particularly the Chief, has made a strong effort to convey to OPD employees their responsibility not to be tolerant of serious misconduct. OPD is in compliance with this Task. Compliance Status: Phase 1: In compliance Phase 2: In compliance Task 34: Vehicle Stops, Field Investigation, and Detentions Requirements: OPD shall require members to complete a basic report on every vehicle stop, field investigation and every detention. This report shall include, at a minimum: a. Time, date and location; b. Identification of the initiating member or employee commencing after the first year of data collection; c. Reason for stop; d. Apparent race or ethnicity, and gender of individual(s) stopped; e. Outcome of stop (arrest, no arrest); f. Whether a search was conducted, and outcome of search; g. Offense categories (felony, misdemeanor or infraction). 2. This data shall be entered into a database that can be summarized, searched, queried and reported by personnel authorized by OPD. 3. The development of this policy shall not pre-empt any other pending or future policies and or policy development, including but not limited to “Promoting Cooperative Strategies to Prevent Racial Profiling.” (Negotiated Settlement Agreement VI.
