Negotiated Settlement Agreement, Combined Tenth and Eleventh Semi-Annual Report December 2008 IMT reviewed achieved a score of 9.8 or higher. This represents a compliance rate of 100%, a significant improvement over OPD’s compliance rate of 84% for its 2005 annual management reports and its rate of 22% for its 2004 annual management reports. Overall, the 2007 annual management reports now include, for the most part, the amount and type of data necessary to assist upper management, including the Chief of Police, in identifying problems and potential solutions in cach division. While the IMT suggested that OPD could improve further by ensuring that all reports include more probing, detailed, and thoughtful discussions of the unit’s operational plans and goals for the upcoming year, it commended OPD for its successful efforts to improve the quality of its annual management reports and found the Department in compliance with Task 48.1.2. Task 48.2 requires that division commanders individually meet with the Chief of Police and respective deputy chief to thoroughly review management report of that division. This year, the meetings between Division Commanders were more formalized than during previous audits. In addition, the meetings were recorded. The IMT was provided advance notice of the meetings, which occurred over two days in early to mid-March, and was able to attend. The discussions the IMT observed during these well-attended meetings were informative and included some probing questioning, although the IMT did note that the quality of discussions was inconsistent and would benefit from greater emphasis on using the collected data/information to discuss plans and challenges for the upcoming year. OPD is in compliance with Task 48.2. 81
