Negotiated Settlement Agreement, Combined Tenth and Eleventh Semi-Annual Report December 2008 A MESSAGE FROM THE INSPECTOR GENERAL Over the last several years, the Department has made significant strides towards compliance with the Negotiated Settlement Agreement. This progress has been a direct result of hard work by Department line staff, supervisors, and managers. Our work has resulted in an improved quality of internal affairs cases, use of force reporting, employee behavior monitoring, and exceptional administrative staff reports. As we institutionalize theses new practices, we continue to build trust with the community that will bear fruit in our efforts to fight crime. The Office of Inspector General (OIG) will continue to provide sound assessments of our compliance with the Agreement. OIG will continue to meet proactively with commanders to ensure that they receive timely feedback regarding their performance. In addition, we will rely more heavily on the Compliance Assessors to provide monthly reports at the biweekly Management Assessment Program meetings. With increased vigilance and expertise, I believe the Department can and will attain full compliance with the Negotiated Settlement Agreement. Paul Fighefoa Captain of Police Office of Inspector General
