New Business:
A-2 Misconduct Allegations in Review Files Lt. Broderick heard there was some
discussion at the November 28`" Case 1-II-2007-006 Subcommittee meeting as to
whether misconduct (e.g. rudeness) allegations that are in addition to, and not normally
subject to CRB review, should be included with allegations that are subject to CRB
review (Sec. 2-139). The example in 1_112007-006 was the inclusion of a non -mandated
CRB investigation (vulgar language allegation) with a mandated CRB investigation (civil
rights violation). Glenn Strunk asked if all ancillary allegations included in the
investigation could just not be addressed by the subcommittee. At the subcommittee
meeting Greg Tempel recommended they use the information in total as needed and
relates to their review. Consensus is that ancillary allegations will not be separated out
from mandated allegations.
Board Training Requests Lt. Broderick asked if the Board had any specific 2008
training requests. Chris Kahler mentioned he'd be interested in participating in the 2008
Citizens' Police Academy which will take place Thursday evenings over an eleven -week
period starting in September and ending in November. It's Lt. Broderick's intention to
identify training opportunities for the Board prior to the change in command to Lieutenant
Craig Dodd.
Harry Edwards asked if a decision had been made on tasers. Lt. Broderick responded
that tasers are not in FCPD's immediate future.
NACOLE info. Lt. Broderick shared NACOLE information via email he'd received from
Denver Police Department Independent Monitor Richard Rosenthal. He mentioned if
the Board's interested in membership it is $300 per year. Membership includes monthly
newsletters. The annual conference is an additional expense. Last year it was held in
San Diego.
Pending Cases:
None.
Other Business.
Lt. Broderick reported that Sgt. Reed, using their new tracking software, is assembling a
report that has four years history. It'll identify trends and changes. That information will
be part of the CRB's Annual Report due January 31s'to the City Clerk's office. Look for
the report in advance of the meeting via email and expect to take formal action at the
January meeting.
