Case3:00-cv-04599-TEH Document930 Filed05/01/13 P a g e l l o f 5 9 Action Plan TOPICAL AREA #1 While the vast majority of OPD Officers are dedicated, hardworking men and women doing an extraordinarily difficult job, a few behave in manners that produce citizen complaints and administrative investigations. REMEDIAL ACTIONS: GOALS: • Change the culture of the organization to show that these kinds of actions are not tolerated at a peer level, by supervisors, or by executive leadership. • Restructure Internal Affairs procedures to insure full, fair, and timely investigation of alleged misconduct. • Insure that promotion, reassignment, and awards processes fully consider past instances of exemplary conduct, and/or misconduct • Insure that Departmental training programs stress the concepts of constitutional policing, and of a broad range of appropriate officer responses concerning use offeree. OBJECTIVES: • Bring Task 5: Complaint Procedures for IAD, into compliance. {MONITOR 12™ QUARTERLY COIVIIVIENTS AS TO REASONS FOR NON-COIVIPUANCE: As in our previous reviews, we treated Tasks 5.15 and 5.16 as a single subtask with several elements, specifically that OPD: gathers all relevant evidence; conducts follow-up interviews where warranted; adequately considers the evidence gathered; makes credibility assessments where feasible; and resolves inconsistent statements (compliance standard: 85%). During the previous assessment period, we deemed the Department in compliance with all of these required elements 88% of the time. Of the 25 investigations we reviewed for this reporting period, we deemed 18, or 72%, in compliance with all of these required elements. 11
