Background: In the previous eight reporting periods, we found OPD to be in partial Phase 2 compliance with Task 40 – following reporting periods of non-compliance that were related to data problems. The temporary solution to these problems had been to enter arrest data by hand as the Department moved forward with plans for the arrest data to be incorporated into the County’s data system. In our last report, we noted that the Department had been piloting the process with a limited number of officers as it examined data quality and solved emerging problems. The Department now reports that automatic import of arrest data will be fully implemented during the upcoming reporting period. During our next review, the new system of data recording will have been in place for the full reporting period. That will permit a full assessment of the process as part of the compliance review. The development of a new risk management database has continued to progress. The RFP was released with January 31, 2014 date for proposal submissions. As of the publication of this report, the City received one response to the RFP. While that may be disappointing, OPD regarded the response as suitable for further review; we will discuss this further in our next report. Discussion: Departmental General Order D-17, Personnel Assessment Program, which incorporates the requirements of Tasks 40 and 41, has undergone extensive revision and was approved and signed off on by the Chief on November 20, 2013. The policy alters the PAS review procedures to incorporate an initial internal review by the PAS Unit when officers meet thresholds, and then engages supervisors in developing and implementing risk reduction plans when appropriate.
