Re: Annual Report -2005
Attached to this memorandum is the Citizen Review Board Annual Report for 2005. As
directed by the Boards and Commissions Manual the annual report directly corresponds
to the Board's 2005 work plan.
Items in bold identify 2005 work plan items.
1) REVIEW CASES:
See page three for a comparison of 2005 cases with data from 2003 and 2004.
2) CONTINUE MONITORING VOICEMAIL:
Prior to each Board meeting the Chair reports on any voice mail messages to the CRB
voice mail box. No messages have been received in the 2005 calendar year.
3) EXPLORE OPTIONS FOR EDUCATING CITIZENS ABOUT THE
EXISTENCE AND PURPOSE OF THE CITIZEN REVIEW BOARD:
This remains an ongoing effort as opportunities arise. Currently citizens have access to
all meeting agenda and minutes via the intemet (fcgov.com). See comments under # 4 as
it pertain to outreach efforts via the Fort Collins Human Relations Commission.
4) CONTINUE LIAISONS WITH APPROPRITE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS,
INCLUDING THE HUMAN ELATIONS COMMISSION (HRC):
Elain Boni of HRC continues in her liaison role between HRC and the Citizen Review
Board. The following activities occurred based on her initiative.
In March the Internal Affairs Sergeant coordinated with Elaine Boni of HRC and
provided training to six HRC members as part of the Citizen Liaison Program.
Police Internal affairs met with the HRC Government Relations Committee in July to
hear proposed recommendations regarding the citizen complaint process. Many of these
recommendations have or will be implemented to include Spanish translation of the
complaint packet, internet complaint form availability and a wider distribution of
complaint forms at various public locales (e.g. Aztlan Center)
In November HRC volunteers completed a full Spanish translation of the police
complaint packet. The English language version of the complaint packet is undergoing
additional revision and when completed will also contain the Spanish translation.

CITIZEN REVIEW BOARD
CASE REVIEW ANNUAL REPORT-2005
2005 was another busy year for the Citizen Review Board. The Board considered nine
cases. This was a decrease of one case from 2004.
In reviewing past CRB annual reports, it was found that case -load was not consistently
tracked in past years. In an effort to correct this, a decision was made to track cases
according to the year in which the case was delivered to the CRB.
The table below is designed to correct past reports and accurately assign cases to the year
the case was delivered to the Board. Future reports will be based on this new format.
