This process includes, but is not limited to, analysis of history, understanding of NSA-AMOU-IMT-Court requirements, factors impacting OPD's inability to come into full compliance, and a study of the future direction of the Department. In essence, where OPD has been, where they are now, and where they are going. The NSA tasks, as negotiated by the parties and approved by the court, shall always be considered a top priority with the Office of the Compliance Director. Moreover, the Compliance Director has a clear understanding that bringing the tasks which are currently out of compliance (or ruled out of compliance in future IMT quarterly reports) into compliance will not, alone, establish the culture and the contemporary police services the community desires in their police department. Police organizations are complex, intenvoven, sophisticated and demanding institutions which provide services at all hours every day of the week. As such, comprehensive principles, policies, practices and philosophies associated with concepts of training, accountability, supervision and administration must be affirmatively challenged to reflect preferred practices and Constitutional Policing.
