Fiscal Year 2013-2015 Special Budget Meeting

Case3:00-cv-04599-TEH Document930 Filed05/01/13 Page30of59 consistent with policy and operational needs (compliance standard: 90%). In February 2012, OPD implemented a new, tiered system of supervision in the Bureau of Field Operations (BFO), using relief sergeants; this change will affect significantly the way in which we assess Tasks 20.2, 20.3, and 20.4. For this reason, we did not assess these subtasks in the ninth and tenth reporting periods. During the last reporting period, we were prepared to examine the available data, but the Department did not provide materials we requested that were required to conduct our assessment. Thus, we continued to withhold our compliance findings for these subtasks. During this reporting period, we are again deferring our assessment for these subtasks because of the Department's plans to restructure BFO (in February). As a result, OPD again maintains our compliance findings from the eighth reporting period. Therefore, OPD is not in compliance with Task 20.2; and is in compliance with Tasks 20.3 and 20.4. OPD is in partial Phase 2 compliance with Task 20. Compliance Status: Phase 1: In compliance Phase 2: Partial compliance OPD PLAN TO ACHIEVE COMPLIANCE RESPONSIBLE PARTY: Deputy Chief E. Breshears The Department will promote the necessary number of sergeants and commit to staffing sufficient sergeants in patrol so as to adequately meet the requirements of our tiered supervision system. OPD to continue to monitor Task compliance daily, during the observation period, with monthly reports generated for broader review by the Monitor and Assistant Chief. Despite three planned police academies in FY 12-13 and 13-14, due to non-discretionary time off requirements and staffing levels, we require the need to maintain the tiered model to sustain compliance and ensure that there is a consistency of supervision. 30
