Independent Monitoring Team Fourteenth Status Report of the Independent Monitor Delphine Allen, et al., v. City of Oakland, et al. July 31, 2009 to January 13, 2010 Page 102 there is little, if any, aggregate assessment of this data by OPD supervisors or commanders. Such assessment would help OPD to identify critically useful information such as the total number of beat projects completed; the types of beat projects completed in each Area; and the strategies that prove most effective in addressing common community concerns. OPD is in compliance with Task 47. This task will not be actively monitored under the MOU.

Status of Compliance and Assessment The compliance deadline for this task occurred in September 2003. OPD achieved policy compliance with this task when it published Departmental General Order A-7, Annual Management and Departmental Reports, on November 24, 2003. During the sixth reporting period, OPD provided the IMT with sufficiently reliable training data to enable us to confirm that OPD had trained 95% or more of relevant personnel on this task. During the sixth reporting period, the IMT found that OPD was in compliance with Task 48’s requirement that each functional unit submit an annual management report. However, we found that OPD was not in compliance with Task 48’s requirement that each annual management report include relevant operating data and highlight ongoing or extraordinary problems and
