Fiscal Year 2013-2015 Special Budget Meeting

Case3:00-cv-04599-TEH Document930 Filed05/01/13 PagelB of 59 been in compliance for many quarters. OPD believes they have consistently done a good job at holding people accountable where necessary, as it relates to this particular task. Occupy Oakland was a challenge to the Department in every possible aspect, including lA investigations. The Department acknowledges that IAD struggles with making determinations about the role of a sergeant as it relates to the alleged misconduct of an officer. This was especially applicable with the Occupy Oakland complaints, in that the volume of complaints has made it difficult to 'explore' the burden that sergeants should have borne. In addition, the IAD has been challenged to develop a preponderance of evidence to sustain allegations involving supervisors. The Department will give additional scrutiny to any lingering Occupy investigations. It is expected that compliance will improve to pre - Occupy compliance levels going forward. COMPLIANCE DIRECTOR'S COMMENTS: The Department historically ^has not consistently held members accountable for their actions, both in terms of effective disciplinary investigation, proper finding, and appropriate discipline. Several cases are being reviewed by the Office of the Compliance Director at this time, and appropriate findings and recommendations are forthcoming. "Occupy" is not a blanket excuse for lingering NSA-related or other issues. However, the Compliance Director does acknowledge that the events of "Occupy" placed a significant burden upon an already ineffective IAD system. Bring Task 40: Personnel Assessment System (PAS) into compliance. MONITOR 12™ QUARTERLY COMMENTS AS TO REASONS FOR NON-COMPLIANCE: Comments: In the last two reporting periods, we found OPD to be in partial Phase 2 compliance - following two reporting periods of non- compliance - as a result of persistent problems in accurately recording the number of arrests made by individual officers. 18
