Negotiated Settlement Agreement, Combined Tenth and Eleventh Semi-Annual Report December 2008 Brochures, was not assessed since the IMT conducted an audit of this task in Ji uly 2007 and found the OPD to be in compliance. OIG’s audit of Task 7 indicated that the Department was in compliance with six of the six requirements that were assessed. 1. Task 7.1—The Department maintained its complaint line and ensured that it was staffed by Departmental personnel. All calls placed were received by Department personnel. 2. Task 7.2—The Department successfully posted its Public Notice entitled Your Guide to Filing A Complaint Against the Police in seven of the eight locations required by Internal Affairs Division (IAD) Policy and Procedures 05-01. The one location that did not have the guidelines posted was the Oakland Coliseum, which is not a City of Oakland facility. However, at all of the eight locations, complaint forms and brochures were available by request or on display. 3. Task 7.4—All members interviewed had complaint forms and informational brochures available either in their vehicles or on their persons. 4, Task 7.6—The IAD continued to maintain its dedicated facility removed from the Police Administration Building. 5. Task 7.7—The Department had both complaint forms and informational brochures translated into Spanish, Chinese, and Vietnamese, in accordance with City policy. 6. Task 7.8—Complaint forms continued to be processed in accordance with controlling state law.
