- 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.

19:40>> She just gave me a verbal statement.
19:44>> So moved.
19:46>> Second.
19:48>> All right.
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
22:19few 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
50:57former 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 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?

1:03:17little extra time and uh get together on
