Negotiated Settlement Agreement, Combined Tenth and Eleventh Semi-Annual Report December 2008 and employees who witnessed the use of force. The IMT noticed a dramatic improvement in this area, Reports consistently included the names of OPD personnel who witnessed the use of force and generally also included the names of OPD personnel who were on scene but did not witness the incident. This practice provides risk management benefits to OPD, including assisting it in supervising and managing its personnel. Accordingly, OPD is in compliance with Task 35.4.

This requirement does not apply to ‘wagons’ engaged exclusively in the transport of prisoners.

Deliverables Special Order 8262, Transportation of Persons in Police Vehicles IMT Audit Summary During this reporting period, the IMT conducted an audit of OPD’s actual practice compliance with Task 36. This is the IMT’s second audit of this task and considerable improvements were made, allowing for partial practice compliance to be given to this task. The IMT looked at a total of 353 transports made by OPD members for the one-month period of March 15, 2006 through April 15, 2006. Task 36.1 requires that officers log in and out on the radio when transporting a detainee or any other civilian (unless the transport is done by a wagon). Of the sample provided to the IMT, 83% of the members and employees logged both in and out as required. While falling short of compliance, this is significant progress from the 63% documented in the IMT’s first audit of this task. 67
