Seventeenth Quarterly Report of the Independent Monitor for the Oakland Police Department April 28, 2014 Page 6 Executive Summary This is the seventeenth report of the Monitoring Team in the case of Delphine Allen, et al., vs. City of Oakland, et al. From February 10, through February 14, 2014, we conducted our seventeenth site visit to Oakland. As we do during each site visit, we met with several Department officials, including the Chief and Assistant Chief of Police and Deputy Chiefs; as well as personnel from the Office of Inspector General (OIG), Bureau of Field Operations (BFO), Bureau of Investigations (BOI), Bureau of Services (BOS), Internal Affairs Division (IAD), Training Section, and Communications Section; OPD officers, managers, supervisors, and commanders – including sergeants, lieutenants, and captains. We also conferred with the Plaintiffs’ attorneys, City Administrator, and Office of the City Attorney (OCA). During and since the time of our site visit, we attended Department meetings and technical demonstrations; reviewed Departmental policies; conducted interviews and made observations in the field; and analyzed OPD documents and files, including misconduct investigations, use of force reports, crime and arrest reports, Stop Data Forms, and other documentation. For the quarter under review, we once again found OPD in Phase 1 compliance with all 22 of the remaining active Tasks. The Department is in Phase 2 compliance with 16 (73%) of the 22 active Tasks and in partial compliance with six (27%) Tasks. This report shows an increase in compliance levels by two Tasks from the last reporting period. Case3:00-cv-04599-TEH Document979 Filed04/28/14 Page7 of 88
