  • Thursday, October 8, 2026.
  • Three commissioners answered the roll call (names captioned as Benitez, Chesky and possibly others; spellings uncertain) and one was excused.
  • The commission's executive director and chief investigator also took part.
  • No public commenters were present in person or online.
  • This summary covers training policy and planning only.

Police Commissioner Training Schedule

21:52-27:16

  • Staff status of pending trainings: the police department's use of force and de-escalation policy training was not ready for October and is hoped for November; the decision-making in case reviews training is to be polled for dates and held virtually; an SDPD overview may be a short add-on or a handbook org chart.
  • Two racial profiling topics may be combined, with an outside civil liberties group ready to present in December. Five seats are held for commissioners at regular Inside SDPD sessions this fall. Past trainings are being uploaded to the commission website and city training system and assigned to commissioners who missed them.

Police Surveillance Technology Training

27:18-33:26

  • The department is willing but booked through year end, so the training is likely early 2027. One member wanted a Saturday session around February to draw commissioners and the public.
  • Staff will propose a few technologies (license plate readers likely), starting with those already approved by the Privacy Advisory Board and City Council. A member asked about broader community education; the chair said the focus is commissioner training in a public setting and asked for a concrete example.

CPP on the Ground Community Visits

33:42-41:58

  • New format: selected community organizations are featured for 4 to 6 weeks each, with a liaison, and commissioners visit on their own time. First announcement planned for the December 2 commission meeting.
  • Members called it practical and lower in staff burden, and suggested inviting groups without a physical space to present. A draft list of about 15 organizations was read; it is not final, and no master list of community groups exists yet.

Commissioner Mentorship Program

42:04-43:52

  • Two newest commissioners are paired with mentors; four experienced commissioners have signed up. The chair will encourage executive committee members to join.

Recent Commissioner Training Debrief

43:55-58:29

  • Reviewed four trainings since June (officer bill of rights, internal affairs overview, implicit bias, use of force). One member asked for brief summary sheets; others cited capacity and the expectation that commissioners watch recordings.
  • Two members volunteered to draft summary sheets (one for the internal affairs overview) by the next meeting. Feedback: internal affairs overview effective; implicit bias only scratched the surface; some community concern about the officer bill of rights was noted. Recordings are available and trainings will not be repeated unless something was missing.

Other business

  • Roll call and approval of the June minutes by voice vote (18:54-19:51; the vote count was not clearly captioned).
  • Chair report: a police department community class was canceled for low interest and may be rescheduled; the committee needs more members.
  • Next meeting set for Thursday, January 21, 2027, at 5:00 (58:52-1:04:05). Motion to adjourn carried.

19:44>> So moved.

19:46>> Second.

19:51All right.

19:52Um moving on to the chair report. I

19:55don't know if anybody has signed up for

19:57that United in Trust uh thing that the

20:00police department was doing. It was

20:02supposed to start on Tuesday of this

20:05week in the evening for I think eight

20:09Tuesdays in a row. But the PD had a low

20:11interest in the class, so that got

20:14canceled. And if it's ever offered

20:16again, I'm sure uh Lindsay at the PD

20:20will let us know.

20:22I was signed up. I was taking my husband

20:24even. Alas.

20:26>> That tells us something about the

20:28public's perception of

20:31>> our interest or how it was publicized or

20:33whatever. I never got I did register for

20:36it, and I never got an email that it was

20:38um

20:40that it was canceled. And my husband

20:41didn't get the email that it was

20:42canceled either. But I did hear about it

20:44because Lindsay got just wanted me to

20:46know as the chair of this committee. So,

20:49I don't know how their communication is

20:50on that. But she's she assured me that

20:52I'll notice one out in September 29th.

20:56>> Yes.

20:57>> Um the other thing I wanted to let you

21:00all know is that we need more members

21:02for this committee. So, if you are

21:05chatting with newcomers, you want to

21:08encourage them how fun this committee

21:09is.

21:10That would be great.

21:12Um and then just to update you on the

21:16action items from the last meeting,

21:19we are going to talk about some of those

21:21things um today.

21:24The CPD on the ground,

21:26Hobar and use of force trainings, and

21:29then uh the community liaison will talk

21:31more about case review.

21:33So, that's my chair report.

21:37>> Case review.

21:38>> Oh, and do we need

21:40Do we need to do any uh public comments?

21:42I don't see anybody online.

21:44>> No one's online. No one's in person. And

21:46we're not even there.

21:47Okay.

21:52>> So, um committee liaison report, I

21:55believe Chief

21:56Investigator Golube.

21:59>> Yes, good evening, Commissioners.

22:02Um I will provide some updates on the

22:05status of um pending trainings um with

22:08the primarily focusing on the

22:10implementation of priority two uh

22:13modules from the case review training

22:15academy. Uh if you recall, we still have

22:18a

22:19few pending uh training items from

22:21there. Uh one is SDPD overview. We're

22:24still considering whether um it needs

22:28to be a standalone training or whether

22:30it could be um some um

22:32org chart or

22:34or or of that sort included in the

22:38handbook. So, I'm waiting for a more

22:40detailed org chart to be provided by the

22:42department so we can make a

22:43determination. Either way, they're happy

22:46to do a standalone training on that as

22:48well. So, that's just We're just

22:50finalizing those details. And it most

22:53likely will be added to another training

22:56from SDPD because it will be a short

22:58one.

22:59Uh the next training from SDPD that

23:02we're pending is the use of force and

23:04de-escalation policy.

23:06It was supposed to be

23:08scheduled for the October meeting, but

23:11it they were not ready, so I'm pending

23:14their confirmation for the date.

23:17Hopefully, they will be available for

23:19November.

23:20Um we also have the decision-making in

23:25case reviews training pending from Dr.

23:27Fairly.

23:29Um I was waiting for the new

23:30commissioners to join to poll for their

23:33availability. We'll probably move

23:35forward with uh polling commissioners

23:37and finding a date, particularly

23:40focusing on those who haven't attended

23:42the original training and the new

23:43commissioners. And the plan is to have

23:46that one administered virtually, but we

23:49will of course keep in mind a quorum uh

23:52regardless of this.

23:53Um Inside SDPD, which is a training

23:57component as well on the case review

24:00training

24:01academy. Um if you recall, there were

24:04discussions about uh organizing a

24:06separate Inside SDPD event for

24:09commissioners. Um this has not come to

24:11fruition

24:13um and it's since then, so um I brought

24:16this up to um committee chair Mom Met,

24:19and we discussed that it's probably

24:21worth just uh continuing to invite uh

24:24individual commissioners to attend the

24:27regular Inside SDPD sessions, which will

24:29be scheduled eventually in the fall.

24:34We'll maintain

24:37uh

24:37five seats for commissioners to uh to

24:40attend those sessions.

24:42Uh we're also currently working on um

24:46uh finding

24:47uh the best presenter for the racial

24:50profiling trainings.

24:52There were two training items. Uh if you

24:54recall, one was on um racial profiling

24:58and law enforcement in San Diego and the

25:00other one was on impact of racial and

25:03identity profiling. We are thinking of

25:06combining the two because from the

25:09proposed presenters on the academy,

25:12there were

25:13several

25:14presenters for both of these. And it

25:17seemed that this is pretty close

25:20topic close topics together. So we met

25:23with um

25:25uh

25:26investigator Lee and I had a phone call

25:28with ACLU team members today and um

25:32we're pretty pleased with their

25:34proposal. Um so we may move forward with

25:36that one.

25:38Um and they are ready to present at the

25:41December commission meeting if needed.

25:44Uh and the last but not least in terms

25:48of training status is the surveillance

25:50technology training requested by Chair

25:53Benitez. Um had an opportunity to meet

25:56with Lindsay from the department the

25:59police department. They are willing to

26:02do such training. It will just take us

26:04some time to finesse the scope.

26:08They're also

26:10until the end of this calendar year

26:12they're booked with other presentations

26:15on surveillance technology both for the

26:18privacy advisory board tonight actually

26:20then to the city council's public safety

26:22committee and then to the to the city

26:24council. So

26:26the most likely this training will

26:28happen in the new year, but we are

26:31working on

26:34making sure it happens.

26:35And the last update on

26:39training tracking staff has been working

26:42on

26:43uploading all the trainings that the

26:45commission had since

26:48this committee started its work.

26:50They're all uploaded all but uh the

26:52training on Cetaceans and Pole Bar have

26:55now been uploaded to the CPP website and

26:57also in SuccessFactors and they have

27:00been assigned to commissioners who have

27:02not attended those trainings. And we're

27:05working on uploading them, Cetaceans and

27:07Pole Bar.

27:08Um, that concludes my update. Um, please

27:12let me know if you have any questions

27:14cuz that was a lot.

27:16>> Um,

27:18>> [clears throat]

27:18>> Olga, I I with re- with with respect to

27:22the surveillance training, I think you

27:24know what I said to Roger last night,

27:26obviously it's such a hot topic both for

27:28the community and for our commissioners.

27:30I had been hopeful that if we were going

27:32to do a Saturday meeting,

27:34where we've had such a hard time getting

27:36a quorum,

27:38uh, that uh having SDPD come and talk

27:42about that, I think the commissioners

27:44would make an effort to make sure that

27:45they're there on a Saturday because it's

27:47such a hot topic.

27:49Um, and I also think it would be a draw

27:51for community members. So, if it's not

27:52going to happen this year, then I think

27:55ideally it should be like

27:57that February, you know, middle of the

28:00first quarter of next year.

28:03So, we maybe we can flag the department

28:05to and maybe between us and them to

28:08start working on a date where they come

28:10and

28:11and do that. I just feel like it'll be

28:13such an important topic for

28:14commissioners.

28:16Um, that maybe we won't have this

28:18problem that we keep running into with

28:19regard to Saturday quorums.

28:24>> Okay, thank you.

28:28>> Yeah, go ahead.

28:29>> Is over the surveillance

28:34limited to

28:35the electronic type of surveillance

28:38and you know, the ca- the license plate

28:41readers

28:42uh

28:45or is it

28:47broader than that? Is it like the

28:49intelligence division of the police

28:51department? What what can

28:55>> So the scope, of course, it's a large

28:57topic, but we in most likely we will

29:01propose to the department to focus on a

29:04few specific surveillance technologies

29:06because they have they utilize a lot,

29:09and it would be impossible to do

29:10training on all of them. So and the

29:14automatic license plate readers will

29:16most likely be one of the

29:19top those surveillance technologies, but

29:21also if the training committee members

29:23would like to suggest any particular

29:26technologies,

29:28we could um

29:29look at the scope and see if that can be

29:32included, but ultimately we'll send them

29:33to the department and hopefully they'll

29:36agree on the selections.

29:39>> Yeah, I think that there's something

29:41like

29:4420 something different technologies that

29:47are used. There's a very large number.

29:49We're going to have to we're really

29:50going to have to focus in on the ones

29:53that

29:54um I think seem to be drawing the most

29:56attention, the ones the community are

29:58going to going to hear going to want to

30:00hear about. Um and also the ones that

30:03have that have already been approved by

30:04the PAB and the and the and the city

30:07council. Right? You know, like I said

30:09like I said yesterday tonight there's a

30:11privacy advisory board meeting

30:13[clears throat] where they're

30:14introducing two other technologies

30:16seeking their use. So I think that we

30:19should be starting with the things that

30:20they've been using the longest. You know

30:22what I mean?

30:24>> Yeah.

30:24>> So that so that they have more to say

30:26and we have more to say about

30:29So anyway, we will have to focus on on

30:31technologies.

30:33At least for this initial in theory

30:36early next year

30:37you know, training. Not to say that we

30:39can't get to other things as well.

30:41>> Can we have a centralized

30:44self-training

30:47facility?

30:48Uh

30:51You read an article in the paper. Oh,

30:53that's interesting. Or

30:56there's all sorts of It is very active.

31:00Um I'd be interested in being able to

31:03share that with other commissioners and

31:05the community.

31:07Um

31:10What kind of training facility can we

31:12establish for that or educational

31:15facility, whatever?

31:17>> Say more.

31:21>> When

31:23the commission comes

31:25gets information about new technologies

31:28or

31:29twists and uh

31:32How do we get that information out?

31:37>> Well,

31:38I'm not sure that we're a news

31:39clearinghouse. Like I think that we have

31:41to be careful about what fits within the

31:44scope of our role. But I mean like what

31:45we're talking about right now is

31:49the training of commissioners and since

31:53it's a public meeting, community members

31:56of the use of specific technologies,

31:59right?

32:00And we're going to get the departments

32:03you know, obviously they'll be sending

32:04us their I would assume their policies

32:07around the use of those technologies,

32:08how they can and cannot use those

32:10technologies.

32:11And so I think that the scope of that is

32:14really intended so that we're better

32:16informed about the ways that

32:19the police are engaging in their

32:20practices.

32:22But

32:23>> I see where you where you're coming

32:25from. It's

32:26education of commissioners

32:29and education of community, two

32:31different things in some ways.

32:34Um

32:36But I'd be interested in in

32:40especially the education of the

32:43community

32:45as it ties into how the community

32:48relates to the commission

32:51and

32:52how

32:55Well, I've said enough.

32:58I think.

33:00Or have I?

33:01Not clear, right?

33:05I'll be quick.

33:06>> Well, I don't know. I

33:10I mean, I think

33:11>> you need to hone in on like an example.

33:14Like

33:15take this from the theoretical to

33:18>> [clears throat]

33:19>> think about it some more maybe and we'll

33:21talk about it later. Does that make

33:22sense?

33:23>> Yeah. Thank you.

33:26>> Okay.

33:28So, moving on now we're at non-agenda

33:30public comment. I was getting too eager.

33:34>> I really

33:34>> We we lack both in-person and virtual

33:37participants at this time.

33:39>> So, now we can move on to old business

33:42and the first item on the agenda is the

33:45CPP on the ground program and that is

33:49what we

33:50are now calling what was going to be

33:53potentially a community bus tour or

33:57community ride-alongs to help

33:59commissioners be familiar with the

34:01organizations in the community that work

34:04with community members related to

34:07policing practices.

34:09And um I think Olga you were going to

34:12give an update on that.

34:15>> Uh yes, commissioners. I have an update

34:17from the director of a community

34:19engagement and internship programs of

34:22ABIDE. Um uh

34:24the new program uh there's a

34:27a new proposal from staff on how to

34:30approach this program,

34:32which will

34:33um

34:34uh essentially the

34:36there will be provided a list or I think

34:38it has already been provided to

34:40Charmaine that of the selected

34:42community-based organizations. And each

34:44organization will be the focus of

34:47commissioner visits um uh

34:50for about 4 to 6 weeks. So, 1 or 2

34:54months. Um

34:55and uh that organization will have a

34:58designated uh liaison who will um

35:02be responsible for assisting

35:05commissioners who will visit that

35:07organization on their own time. At every

35:10time at the commission meeting starting

35:12at on the December 2nd commission

35:15meeting, the executive director will um

35:18announce the or the organization that

35:22will be available for commissioners'

35:24visits. And then commissioners will have

35:26the opportunity to visit for the next 4

35:29to 6 weeks. Um they would reach out to

35:32that um

35:34selected liaison from the organization

35:36and they would come in on their own

35:38time. Some organizations may just um

35:41provide specific office days. Some

35:43organizations may be just open anytime

35:46that they're open, so it will depend on

35:48the organization.

35:50Um after that first announcement on

35:53December 2nd,

35:55um director of community engagement and

35:57internship programs will email

35:59commissioners with the organization and

36:02visit logistics.

36:08>> Questions?

36:09>> So, the advantage of this idea is one um

36:14us being able to get something like this

36:16off the ground has been impacted with

36:18staff are too busy to do

36:21uh some of the ideas we talked about in

36:23the past, so it it reduces the level of

36:25staff capacity required. The other thing

36:28is it helps us avoid quorum issues

36:31because, you know, people are filling

36:34and and it also helps us increase the

36:37odds that commissioners can really get

36:39it done cuz it's not only on one day at

36:42one time. They can fit it in with their

36:44lives. So, it's it's more nimble. I

36:47think that's an advantage and um it can

36:50all it's also nimble it with respect to

36:52what these agencies do. Right? Like some

36:55of them don't have a physical place. So,

36:58they they can say, "Okay, we'll do this

37:00or that or the other thing and this is

37:02what our availability is to communicate

37:05with you." So, it it feels to me when um

37:09I talked to Executive Director Smith

37:13about it, it seemed like it was um a

37:15good solution that we should give it a

37:18try and see how it goes and then we can,

37:20you know, debrief about it and

37:23go from there. I don't know what what

37:25you all think.

37:27>> Sounds practical.

37:31>> Yeah.

37:33>> I like it.

37:35>> So, anyway, so we're hoping December 2nd

37:37we can have our first one and to just

37:40see how it goes.

37:42>> Yeah, I think with respect to

37:43organizations that don't have a physical

37:45space, that's going to be super

37:46challenging. And for those

37:48organizations, we may want to invite

37:50them

37:51to meetings to, you know, have them come

37:53and present what it is that that they do

37:56to us. That that may be easier for the

37:58organization.

38:00Um but I'm going to keep using the

38:02Islamic Center of San Diego for no

38:03apparent reason just because I feel like

38:05it was it was one of the ones listed on

38:07the community bus tour back before all

38:09of our time.

38:10>> Which organization did you just mention?

38:11>> The

38:12Islamic Center.

38:13>> Oh, right.

38:13>> They have They have a physical place.

38:15>> a physical place. And um and and so,

38:18yeah. I mean, like if for example, if

38:20they say that, you know, we're not

38:22having services, but there are people

38:24available to you know, talk to

38:26commissioners

38:28Wednesdays between 12:00 and 2:00 or

38:32Saturdays between you know, 10:00 and

38:342:00 and commissioners should contact

38:37this person to schedule their visit or

38:39maybe they don't have to contact

38:40someone, they just have maybe an open

38:42door a drop-in or something like that.

38:45Um

38:46so I I think that anything that is that

38:49increases convenience for organizations

38:51increases convenience for organizations

38:54um that that that encourages

38:56commissioners to I would think

38:58participate and also I don't want to I

39:01mean, we all none of us want to create

39:03unnecessary work for uh staff in terms

39:07of

39:08all the various iterations of

39:10you know, what we're trying to

39:11accomplish here, which is to get

39:13commissioners out to the community

39:15to visit organizations and learn more

39:18about

39:19uh

39:20uh the the organizations that exist and

39:24that we have some sort of causal

39:26connection to. I would assume like the

39:28Gay Lesbian Community Center's going to

39:29be on this as well.

39:31>> Yeah, there's um yeah, I do have a few

39:34emails that some of our cuz I do

39:36remember we did have a conversation

39:37about we don't just we don't want to

39:40burden these agencies either, right?

39:43Part of this idea I think does reduce

39:44the burden on them cuz they can just

39:46incorporate it into their everyday

39:47activities and say, "Sure, just drop

39:49in." Um

39:51but we also said that we want to make

39:54sure like you just said this causal

39:56connection, not like, "Oh, we care

39:59about, you know, constitutional

40:01policing." That's not enough, right?

40:03It's like, you know, like Pillars, the

40:05presentation they gave to us, it was

40:07really clear the work that they do and

40:09how it overlaps with our work. So that's

40:12um we really kind of trust staff to

40:15figure out what those connections are,

40:17but some of the like PANA is on the

40:19list, the partnership for the

40:20advancement of new Americans,

40:23pillars, Mid-City CAN,

40:27community wrap-around, I don't know what

40:29that is, ACLU, Alliance San Diego, Asian

40:33Solidarity Collective, CAIR,

40:37CAIR

40:40San Diego.

40:42CAIR spelled like air with with a C.

40:44Um

40:46the

40:47lodge doll

40:49the Arab Community Center of San Diego,

40:51Chicano Federation

40:53Sh- That's that outreach.

40:57And here we go, the LGBTQ Center,

41:01block worker center.

41:03Maybe that's a typo. Center on policy

41:06initiatives. So, those are some of them

41:09and

41:10um

41:11it's not a final list, but that's just

41:14kind of like a starting point. So, like

41:17for an action item, what I would really

41:19love would be like

41:22what that list really is. I mean, I

41:25don't know why they're so bad.

41:26>> [laughter]

41:27>> I just feel like we've been asking for

41:28>> it's going to be evolving.

41:29>> Yeah. Okay.

41:30>> That's excellent. That's a really good

41:31start. That's 2 years worth almost.

41:33>> [snorts]

41:33>> Right. Yeah, easily.

41:35>> doing 4 to 6 weeks.

41:36>> Yeah. Okay.

41:38So, maybe Yeah. So, anyway, so that's

41:40where we're at with that. Any other

41:42thoughts?

41:44>> Do we have a master list of community

41:46organizations that we might be

41:48interacting with at some point?

41:51>> I don't think we do.

41:57Okay.

41:59All right. So,

42:01moving on? Everyone feel good about

42:03that?

42:04Done enough. Okay. So, mentorship. Data

42:07on mentorship. So, maybe Ethan, you

42:10could I mean

42:11We got some emails so we had the

42:13announcement last night but I don't know

42:14if you want to hear anything else about

42:16that.

42:16>> Um sure.

42:18Um

42:18We paired up uh

42:21our two newest commissioners from um

42:23starting in August. So um Commissioners

42:25Bruscher and Peralta Vargas have been

42:27paired up with Commissioners um

42:30sent out emails today both to um

42:32Commissioners Dixon and Faulken as well

42:34as a follow-up email to all the

42:36experienced commissioners asking them to

42:39um sign up if they're interested. Um

42:41once um our next commissioners I think

42:44I'll be emailing them as they start in

42:46terms of what after they have their

42:47first meeting I'll let them know this

42:49program exists and I'll follow up the

42:50meeting following.

42:52Um but we're off to a good start. We've

42:53got a couple pairings.

42:55>> Who's Who's the other commissioner

42:56that's acting as a mentor that How many

42:58commissioners have signed up as mentors?

43:00>> As of now four.

43:02>> Okay.

43:04>> And I know Bonnie you've been a mentor

43:06and I don't know if you have any

43:08>> Just sign me up.

43:09>> And you want to chime in on about how

43:11that's gone.

43:12>> You know I I've included this mentor

43:13thing in in my chair report at every

43:15meeting except last night.

43:17>> That's fine.

43:18>> And I'll I'll do it I'll do it again.

43:19>> Yeah, I know you did. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

43:21>> Uh

43:23>> [groaning]

43:24>> and um

43:25just off the top of your head are all

43:27the executive committee members

43:28signed up?

43:30>> No.

43:31>> Okay. I'll harass them.

43:33Um I'll bring it up at the executive

43:35committee.

43:36Cuz I That's the most successful exte-

43:38extensive That's the group that has the

43:41most experience.

43:43So

43:44Okay.

43:45So yeah, sounds good.

43:47>> going

43:47We're going great.

43:49>> Yeah. Thank you for doing all of that.

43:52>> Okay.

43:53>> All right. Are we ready to move on to

43:55new business?

43:57So um

43:59I thought we could

44:01go through each of the trainings that

44:03we've had um recently

44:06since we met last in June, we've had uh

44:09four.

44:10Been busy training.

44:11>> very busy.

44:12>> Uh so, I thought we maybe could start

44:15with Global One first

44:18and just um

44:21like go, do we need any follow-up

44:23training after?

44:25Um you know, just debrief thoughts.

44:30Help us in move Thoughts related to help

44:32us moving forward.

44:34Did that satisfy that need and we don't

44:36need anything else? Those are the kind

44:38of thoughts that I

44:42>> I'd maybe like to just see a little

44:44reinforcement of

44:47by memos of

44:50what was discussed at each of these.

44:56>> Tell me more. What are you thinking? We

44:58have the recordings, so people can watch

45:00them.

45:01>> Short of that though, there there may

45:03not be

45:05I I don't know if I'd be interested in

45:07watching all of them, but to see a

45:12um

45:14précis of what was discussed.

45:17>> Of what?

45:18>> Précis.

45:19Um

45:20a red

45:22a brief

45:24summary.

45:25>> Like a one sheet?

45:27>> P R E [clears throat] C I S

45:28>> So, would that be for people who missed

45:31it or for people who went and need a

45:33refresher or

45:35>> Both. For the people who missed it to

45:37see if they'd be interested in actually

45:40looking at it.

45:42Looking at the whole thing again and for

45:44people who went just as a memory

45:47refresher.

45:49>> I don't know how I feel about that.

45:51Here's Here's my gut feeling right away

45:54is that these are

45:58Like it's I thought It our

46:00responsibility to take advantage of the

46:02trainings that are being provided to us.

46:04So, if you miss a meeting, the

46:06recording's provided for you and I

46:07thought our expectation was that people

46:10would watch that, which I actually

46:12already have.

46:13>> Okay.

46:14>> Um

46:15and take your own notes and be

46:17responsible for your own self, but um

46:21push back. I mean, tell me tell me what

46:23you all think cuz

46:24like some of these, like how would you

46:26do a one-pager on some of these things?

46:29I don't know.

46:31of summary.

46:32>> Yeah, I think that something like POBAR

46:34you probably could.

46:35>> Mhm.

46:36>> But um uh implicit bias would be

46:39way more challenging.

46:41Um

46:43uh

46:44the the

46:47the

46:50It could be reasonably labor intensive

46:52even using like AI as an example. Uh if

46:55you were to uh take the PowerPoint for

46:59those that had PowerPoints, I think

47:00maybe they all did.

47:02Most of them.

47:03Um if you took the PowerPoint and

47:07created a one-sheet from the PowerPoint,

47:10that could be helpful.

47:12But I think the issue is who's going to

47:14do it. If you're volunteering to do it,

47:15I think that that'd be great. But I

47:17don't know.

47:18>> Yeah, sure.

47:19>> Right to I don't know if we have the

47:21It's about capacity in terms of I agree

47:24with you. I think that it's available.

47:26If you feel like you missed something,

47:28go and watch it because it's the video

47:30is going to be available. I also

47:31understand though that like for example

47:33last night

47:34maybe you asked the question, the POBAR

47:36question, about um

47:39about discipline memos,

47:41>> Yeah.

47:41>> I did.

47:42>> Right? And and I sent that email this

47:44morning to Olga and Roger and you

47:46um about

47:48you know, cuz I couldn't we just had

47:49this training and I couldn't remember

47:51off the top of my head. So, I looked it

47:52up in terms of where the where do the

47:54discipline memos and our ability to

47:58provide feedback on the discipline memos

47:59to the department, like how much time in

48:01advance of the end of the SOL

48:04do we need? Um and so, having things

48:07like reference sheets, I mean, we have

48:09that binder.

48:11Um it's a nice idea. It's just that I

48:14don't think it's at the top of the list

48:15if that makes sense.

48:17Of all the things that we're trying to

48:19do.

48:22So,

48:22but

48:23>> And and

48:23>> Yeah.

48:24>> Should we should we readdress?

48:27Uh I mean, if I I'd volunteer to do it,

48:29but I certainly would want to rely

48:32on AI.

48:33>> Mhm.

48:34>> Um

48:35or at least to to give it a chance and

48:37see what

48:39>> Mhm.

48:39>> how it turned out. My experience with it

48:42has been fairly good.

48:44>> Well, I'd pick one and see. I mean, like

48:47what Do you have one in mind?

48:49>> Of these? No. Um

48:52what

48:54Let's see.

49:03I think A or B.

49:08>> Mhm.

49:21>> Any particular timeline?

49:25>> By the next training committee meeting?

49:27What are we looking at?

49:27>> Yeah.

49:29>> Okay.

49:33>> Which one are you What What are you

49:34Which one are you going to do?

49:35>> I don't know. Um

49:38I want to do

49:39a a quick look, but

49:41A or B. Um

49:55>> Okay.

49:56Great.

49:58Any other um

50:00feedback or debrief comments about the

50:03POBAR one?

50:04>> Um

50:05I think that the the IA was it IA and

50:08POBAR we had the same night?

50:10>> We had the toxide.

50:10>> Oh, it was the toxide. That's right.

50:12>> Um and I didn't put um Sit Tox on this

50:16list because

50:18um

50:19Chief Nance had circled my chat about

50:21it. That kind of seemed like more of a

50:22one-off, not something that um would be

50:26part is part of our regular training

50:27program at this point.

50:29>> Mhm. Because it's just a pilot program.

50:31It's not part of the PD's general thing.

50:34>> Yeah, but if you feel like you have

50:35something to add

50:36>> no, no.

50:37No, I just remember um

50:39you know, there was some community

50:40feedback and maybe a little commissioner

50:42feedback that um

50:44you know, we had two trainings in one

50:45night uh and one was by an officer on

50:48the Sit Toxa and and the and I know that

50:50I'm the one that set up the the guy the

50:52POBAR guy the lawyer and you know, he's

50:55a

50:57former sheriff, right? So, he he had a

51:00very sort of law enforcement

51:01perspective.

51:03And um

51:04I'm just thinking about um to my mind

51:08POBAR is something that's it's it's more

51:11black and white than some of the other

51:12trainings, right? Because

51:14he was going over like these are the

51:16rules. This is how that applies, right?

51:19Um

51:20and at the same time though um part of

51:22what we may bump up against and and

51:24actually Olga, I'd really like your

51:25input on this. You know, there were

51:27there were some uh community feedback um

51:30about the ways that POBAR can be used

51:34that has a deleterious effect on

51:37community members who have filed

51:39complaints or things like that. So,

51:42um

51:43I don't know if there's another side to

51:47POBAR, you know, or if or or if it it is

51:51what it is. So, Olga, do you have any

51:52thoughts on that?

51:56>> Uh I mean, not not at the moment. I

51:58think it's if this is something that

52:00commission would want to explore, we're

52:02we can certainly do it, but I'm just

52:05thinking um I don't know if there can be

52:07a training on this topic, but to me, I

52:09think the fact that there was community

52:12feedback and the community voice their

52:14concerns with with POBAR was already

52:17enough for commissioners to understand,

52:20right? That, you know, there is this

52:22POBAR, but also there is community

52:24thoughts on it. So, if the commission

52:27wants to

52:28further explore this subject, I think an

52:31individual commissioner can do it

52:33further on their own, but again, um

52:35this is just me also like thinking out

52:37loud on this. Um

52:40that's all I have to say at this point.

52:42>> [snorts]

52:44>> Um well, I mean, my general feedback is

52:46that um I thought that uh the Internal

52:49Affairs overview

52:51was um effective. It gave uh it I think

52:54that um

52:56uh

52:57what's his name? Judd?

52:59Yeah. I think that uh Captain Campbell

53:01uh I think tried to go over like what

53:04their systems were and also some of the

53:06things that he is trying to do to

53:09kind of um uh

53:11make uh Internal Affairs more effective

53:13and more responsive to us.

53:15Um and he you can also correct me if I'm

53:17wrong, Olga.

53:18Um

53:19and uh the uh the the POBAR training

53:23I I found to be reasonably black and

53:26white because he was simply going over

53:28the rules and how this impacts

53:30departments and and officers.

53:32Um implicit bias, um I really liked it.

53:35The only problem is we were scratching

53:37the surface of a real implicit bias

53:38training.

53:39And and that's really hard to do in

53:42whatever we gave her 30 minutes, 45

53:45minutes.

53:46Um

53:47uh

53:47and I don't know what we do about that

53:49because that's something that you could

53:50spend, you know, a weekend retreat on or

53:53at least like a half a day and I don't

53:55know how we find the time to do

53:56something like that.

53:57Um

53:59and the

54:01uh

54:03>> Use of force.

54:03>> Use of force, Sharon Fairly.

54:05Um I

54:09I know she said teacher.

54:12But

54:13I have to say and I've and you know, you

54:15and I have had conversations with her

54:16before a couple years ago, remember?

54:18>> Mhm.

54:18>> Um

54:20um

54:23I this is my personal thing that I I I'm

54:26very um

54:28I don't want to say critical, but I I I

54:30I know a great presenter when I see one

54:32and she wasn't as great as I wanted her

54:34to be

54:35considering she is a professor.

54:38>> Is that the University of Chicago?

54:40>> Yes.

54:41So I this is just my that was just my

54:43own take. I'm not saying it was awful. I

54:44just wanted it to

54:47be great and it was good.

54:50So

54:51>> [snorts]

54:53>> What do you think?

54:55You were there, right?

54:56>> Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

54:58I um yeah, maybe I'm biased because of

55:02the previous conversations I've had with

55:03her and stuff. I just think she's super

55:05smart and

55:07um

55:09I

55:09I I didn't have any notes.

55:19>> Yeah, yeah, at the end of the day I

55:20think that what is what is challenging

55:23for the commission

55:25is trying to get everything done in the

55:29that that we need to. I mean, I think

55:30that we're now that we're caught up on

55:32cases

55:33I think we're doing

55:34pretty good most of the time at

55:37squeezing everything into

55:40those 3 hours.

55:42Adding, you know, with with training,

55:45community feedback, commissioner

55:46feedback.

55:47Uh

55:48so.

55:51Yeah. Yeah, last several months have

55:53been very heavy training, which I think

55:54is really

55:56helpful.

55:58>> We're trying to get

55:59up to speed.

56:00>> Mhm. Stephen, what do you think?

56:06>> Um

56:11about which part? About Sharon or about

56:15>> any of these individual trainings or

56:17just in general, how things have been

56:18going?

56:19>> [clears throat]

56:21>> Very well, I think.

56:24Um

56:27and

56:30we could do so much more

56:32at the same time.

56:34Uh

56:35and

56:38as far as our resources go

56:41pretty happy with with uh

56:44Saturday stuff, with the

56:47community outreach aspect of I mean,

56:50there's training also going on whenever

56:53we show up somewhere in the community.

56:56And

57:00a door opens as to

57:02oh, we the people have remedies.

57:06You have, you know, the Constitution and

57:08all of that stuff and we have a group

57:11interested in in protecting our rights

57:14and we have a group and we I anyway, um

57:21so

57:22well, that

57:24with respect to all the training,

57:26um

57:27but whatever more we can do, I I could

57:30add

57:32you know, like four more categories to

57:35>> I wasn't talking about that. This is

57:36feedback on how this how these topics

57:39were delivered, um the content of them

57:42like

57:43did we miss anything?

57:46Um

57:46was it not an effective train like would

57:48we do something different in the future?

57:50I mean because right now this is where

57:52my brain's at.

57:55Hobar, we provided it and it's recorded.

57:57Internal Affairs provided it and it's

57:59recorded. Implicit Bias provided it and

58:01it's recorded. Use of Force provided it

58:02and it's recorded. So those are done,

58:04they're there. New commissioners can get

58:06them. We're not going to bring it back.

58:08We're not going to use unless there was

58:10something missing.

58:12That's that's where my head's at.

58:15Yeah.

58:15>> Okay.

58:22>> Okay.

58:24Anything else?

58:27>> No.

58:28>> Okay.

58:29Um so that concludes new business.

58:34Any commissioner comments?

58:47>> I'm good.

58:48>> I've got none.

58:50>> Nope.

58:52>> All right. So now thinking about when do

58:54we think we will meet another meeting

58:58and looking at what the training is

59:02between now and the end of the year, I

59:04don't think we need to meet again until

59:07after the first of the year.

59:10>> Yeah, I agree.

59:11>> Okay. So

59:13um

59:15I'm looking at like if we don't

59:19do

59:22like maybe even in

59:24I mean I want us to make progress on

59:25things. Like maybe not until like even

59:28I don't know, March? Is that too long to

59:31wait?

59:33Gives you a long time to work on your

59:34summaries.

59:36>> [laughter]

59:37>> Um well, Ethan or Olga, um our you know,

59:41I I realize committees create work for

59:44the staff sometimes, but but we also

59:47need to kind of to the extent that we

59:48have a training committee, we need to

59:49kind of keep the ball moving forward,

59:51like um do you uh with the things that

59:55are kind of currently on the horizon,

59:57whether it's the

59:59CPP on the ground and its new iteration

1:00:02or the things that are being lined up,

1:00:04is there a need that that for for you

1:00:06all, for us to

1:00:08to meet between now and

1:00:10give or take March?

1:00:15>> Well, I appreciate you asking us. I

1:00:16think we have our work cut out for us

1:00:18because the training academies are have

1:00:21a lot of training items. So,

1:00:23irrespective of whether the committee

1:00:24meets, we'll continue working on them,

1:00:26particularly on the ones that I

1:00:27mentioned. But but I would say if if

1:00:31you're asking for for my suggestion,

1:00:34maybe January would be a good good

1:00:36check-in cuz I feel like usually in like

1:00:393 months enough um enough business

1:00:42accumulates for the committee to

1:00:43discuss, but this is just my thought on

1:00:46that, of course.

1:00:49>> Okay. That's what I was thinking, too.

1:00:50>> Okay, good.

1:00:51>> Because also, if you want to if we're

1:00:53going to invite

1:00:54right? I'm going to be working with

1:00:55Elena to get new you know, to get new

1:00:57people to sign up for committees, newer

1:00:59commissioners, who should all be on

1:01:01boarded in theory, but between now and

1:01:03the end of the year.

1:01:04Uh then you want to give them something

1:01:06to go to.

1:01:07Right, whoever ended up on the training

1:01:08committee. So, maybe sometime like mid

1:01:10to late January.

1:01:12>> Okay. Yeah.

1:01:12>> I I I see that.

1:01:14>> Yeah, yeah, the reason I was thinking

1:01:15longer was to give us time to actually

1:01:17go out and do CPP on the ground. So,

1:01:20that's but that that's totally I I

1:01:23agree. Agree with all of those. So then

1:01:25that would be

1:01:27>> [clears throat]

1:01:28>> if we kind of stuck with our timeline,

1:01:30it could be as early as January 7th. Do

1:01:32you want to

1:01:34do you want to wait longer in the month?

1:01:38>> I could do I could do the 7th, the 14th,

1:01:41or the 21st.

1:01:43For a Thursday.

1:01:58Uh

1:02:01>> Thank you, Pepper.

1:02:12>> Uh

1:02:13Uh I know I'm not going to be available

1:02:15on the 14th, but

1:02:17>> Okay, so then maybe the 7th or the 21st?

1:02:20>> Yeah, whatever. I have community

1:02:21outreach on here. I think it's the old

1:02:23calendar for community outreach. Should

1:02:25probably take that off.

1:02:29>> 21st is fine.

1:02:31Well, any of those dates are fine with

1:02:33me.

1:02:37>> Oh, well, I'm not be I'm going to be on

1:02:38this I'm not really on any committee.

1:02:40I'm on all the committees and none of

1:02:41the committees. I came to this meeting

1:02:43because you asked me to.

1:02:44>> I know, cuz otherwise

1:02:45>> So don't worry about me. All right.

1:02:47>> Yeah, but you never come to the next

1:02:49one.

1:02:50>> Oh, yeah, I'm going to come cuz I'm

1:02:50going to read your memos.

1:02:52I was going to offer to work on one.

1:02:54If you pick one, I will do the other.

1:02:57>> Which one would you like?

1:03:01>> Uh internal affairs overview.
