21:25protecting all members of the Detroit

21:28community.

21:29First, I'd like to address what many

21:30feel is an overstep by officer Moore in

21:33leaving a voicemail for the Seward

21:35sharing table on Tuesday threatening to

21:37tear down a community resource which

21:38feeds our neighbors

21:40without any clear articulated reason and

21:43it is most certainly outside of her

21:44purview. We ask that officer Moore cease

21:47this behavior and allow the Seward

21:49sharing table to continue work through

21:50the city to gain compliance.

21:54Next, I'd like to ask the BOP to address

21:56officer Moore's repeated refusal

22:00to return communication from community

22:01members, myself included. I called

22:04officer Moore on her department issued

22:05cell phone on Tuesday and left a

22:07voicemail with my phone number and

22:09relevant information. I have not heard

22:11back from officer Moore.

22:14I am also aware of officer Moore

22:16refusing to respond to the Seward Block

22:18Club calls and voicemails left last week

22:21regarding concerns in the community.

22:24This behavior This pattern of behavior

22:26is not consistent with the expectations

22:29that our community holds of DPD.

22:32Lastly, I have serious concerns

22:34regarding officer Moore's refusal to

22:36identify herself when Channel 4 called

22:39her on the same department issued cell

22:41phone that we as taxpayers paid for

22:44and refused to even identify herself as

22:46an employee or officer of DPD.

22:49This behavior shows a serious lack of

22:51concern and commitment to community

22:53policing and erodes the relationship

22:56that NPOs are supposed to have with the

22:58communities they allegedly serve.

23:01Thank you.

23:03>> Thank you.

23:21I'm sorry. Uh, Deputy Chief, did you get

23:24that?

23:27Thank you very much.

23:28If if I may, uh, Mr. Chair, uh

23:31uh, Commander, can you have someone from

23:33your shop to connect with them? And so

23:36that we can have a immediate response to

23:39that. We need to understand what's going

23:41on here. And then, uh, someone from OCI,

23:45if you haven't filed a complaint with

23:47OCI, uh, someone from my shop can help

23:49you file a complaint right now.

23:52And, uh, so you can go to the back room,

23:54someone will meet you back there at uh,

23:56to be able to help accommodate that.

24:01>> Next speaker, please.

24:03>> Thank you, Mr. Chair. Our next two

24:04speakers in the audience is Cunningham

24:08and Mother Bernice Smith.

24:22>> 313-444-9114,

24:25Brother Cunningham. That number was made

24:26so you can remember it. Um

24:29I have to shout out Danny. Um

24:33he came through for me.

24:35Uh, he went up to the mechanic shop,

24:37they wanted $3,800 or some number that I

24:40wasn't going to pay for a old van.

24:43Um, and so they let it go for $1,000.

24:47I don't know what he did, but it was

24:49done. And, um, God steps up in many

24:53different ways.

24:54Um

24:56walking up, um

24:58one of the commissioners was coming in

25:00and I was telling them the story about

25:02me going to Northern High School.

25:04And I ran the Christian club at at

25:06Northern High School. It's called

25:07Jayhawks for Christ.

25:10And sometimes I wonder like, you know,

25:12you train up a child in the way he

25:13should go when he's old he won't depart

25:14from it. Certain things I want to

25:17do, I just won't do because I've been

25:21raised in the church.

25:23And I come

25:26over here looking for some money cuz I

25:28was using my own work money to buy pizza

25:30to lure people coming to the Christian

25:31club. And I come over to the church and

25:35Pastor Holly,

25:36um, give me $50.

25:39And I took that and I didn't have to use

25:40my money that week, that Tuesday for the

25:43Christian club. And so I just want to

25:45say just one word about Reverend Holly,

25:48um, Commissioner Holly.

25:50Um,

25:50he didn't know me. I wasn't a member of

25:52his church. I was a member of Word of

25:54Faith, but

25:55uh, he was a blessing and hopefully he's

25:57listening.

25:58Um, I appreciate you and I always say

26:01kind words about you. And thank you,

26:02Danny, for coming through, being God's

26:05feet and hands to get that van back so I

26:09can give out these bus tickets and help

26:10people at the bus stops.

26:12Thank you.

26:14>> Thank you, sir.

26:18>> Our next two speakers are Mother Bernice

26:21Smith and Jacob Smith.

26:31>> I made it.

26:32>> Good afternoon, Mother. You have 2

26:33minutes.

26:35>> You always remind me by the time I get

26:36up here. I haven't even started.

26:37[laughter]

26:38Don't take my 2 minutes now.

26:40You're just mistreating this old lady.

26:42>> [laughter]

26:43>> Good evening, everyone.

26:44>> Good evening.

26:48>> You know, God is good, especially to me.

26:50I have no problem

26:52Coming to my meetings every

26:54Oh, thanks, baby.

26:55See how I get taken care of? Boy, when

26:58you get to be 94, you get all kind of

27:00service, don't you?

27:01But, anyway,

27:03I'm taking up our our time.

27:05I think I spoke about it last last week

27:08in regards to the situation here in the

27:10city of Detroit.

27:12I came to Detroit from Chicago in 1960.

27:15I love it here.

27:17I never will go back home, in other

27:19words,

27:20because of the fact that this city is a

27:23good city,

27:24but we have people that's making it go

27:26down to the gutter.

27:28For instance, I think I spoke about it

27:30last week that overnight stay, whatever

27:33you call it, that the gambling and going

27:34on in a neighborhood, a resident

27:37neighborhood.

27:39I didn't like it when I heard it on the

27:40news, and I was quite upset about it.

27:42What are we coming to?

27:44I did write a little things so I

27:45wouldn't forget too much. Detroit is in

27:47a demor- moralizing state of

27:51today. I have watched more crime run

27:53rapidly

27:55than ever

27:56in my lifetime.

27:58There's a need for more voices that will

28:00be raised to

28:02to the concerns of the community, so

28:04that residents will not be involved to a

28:08state

28:10where we can't control our neighborhood.

28:12We pay rent, we pay notes on our houses,

28:17and we appreciate the fact that we're

28:19supposed to live in a decent

28:20neighborhood. We cannot tolerate

28:22overnight

28:24um people coming, gambling, and doing

28:26everything what you're supposed to be

28:27what they're not supposed to be doing in

28:29a neighborhood, because we live live in

28:31our neighborhood.

28:32But, I don't have a home anymore. I live

28:34I live in a resident where we But, I'm

28:37not in the street, though. I live in a

28:39resident where it's very nice and quiet.

28:41And uh

28:43we we have decency

28:45there, and then we do have family with

28:47children. So, they are under control.

28:50But, the fact is we cannot tolerate

28:52people coming into our neighborhood

28:55and taking over and doing

28:58>> All right.

28:58>> Yes, ma'am. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

29:01>> Anyway,

29:02behave, Detroiters. Take care of your

29:05neighborhood.

29:06>> Thank you.

29:10>> Next speaker, please.

29:17>> Hello. Uh my name's Jacob Smith.

29:20Uh I'm with the Detroit Alliance Against

29:22Racist and Political Oppression. I'm

29:23also a resident of District 5. I'm just

29:26coming up here today to uh make note to

29:29both the board and the uh people here

29:32that the police union contract is coming

29:33up in June.

29:35Um now, something that uh is probably

29:38not a surprise to anybody is that uh

29:40often times police union contracts

29:43uh they can be structured in our

29:45purposefully structured in a way to uh

29:47stifle uh

29:49accountability and transparency for the

29:51police officers that they uh cover. Um

29:55you know, for example, uh right now, uh

29:57the current uh city ordinance uh around

30:00the release of body-worn camera footage

30:03in the city is blocked by a court order

30:05resulting from a lawsuit from the DPOA,

30:08which is our police union,

30:10uh that uh claims that it is violating

30:12the current police union contract. Um

30:15this

30:17type of thing happening, uh I consider

30:19it to be a violation of our basic

30:20democratic rights. Uh we used

30:22Detroiters, we have a right to govern

30:23ourselves. We have a right to make our

30:26own laws. Um

30:27and the police shouldn't be able to

30:29decide which uh laws they can pick and

30:31choose and which ones they like.

30:33Um I would just like to remind the the

30:35BOPC that uh they passed a resolution in

30:38June uh in regards to the new uh police

30:41contract

30:43um stating that you would not support

30:44any contract that um basically went

30:47against the uh ordinances or the city

30:49charter.

30:50Um I'm just here to urge you all to uh

30:52follow it come this summer. Thank you.

30:55>> Thank you, sir.

30:59Next speaker, please.

31:04>> Mr. Chair, I think that is our last

31:06speaker in the audience. Now we're going

31:08to Zoom.

31:09We have three speakers in Zoom.

31:12>> Thank you, ma'am. Our first speaker is

31:14Monkey Wrench Roo, followed by Zoom

31:18user.

31:23>> Are you there?

31:27>> Yeah, I'm here.

31:29>> You may be heard.

31:31>> You shouldn't be there.

31:34None of the elected officials in the

31:36city of Detroit should be there.

31:39And the appointed ones was appointed

31:42by cheated in

31:43elected official.

31:45So, they shouldn't be there.

31:49That's how

31:50a whole Board of Police Commissioners

31:52elected ones.

31:54There has been cheating in elections for

31:57ooh

31:5915 years. I can only prove since

32:022020.

32:03I gave the information number 47, Donald

32:07J. Trump.

32:09About absentee ballot fraud.

32:14Now

32:16y'all been playing

32:19with the blacks in Detroit.

32:22That's all y'all

32:24uh Board of Police Commissioners.

32:27The Detroit Police Department

32:31is not

32:33um

32:35for upright um organization. You got

32:40Rebecca McKay over at homicide

32:44uh division um commander.

32:47She got to get gone.

32:50And then you got um

32:52Heather Fitzpatrick. She took a

32:54complaint from

32:56Janice Winfree against me.

32:59And talking about

33:01Janice talking about she in fear for her

33:03life. She could s- She want

33:06>> Sir.

33:06>> D.

33:08>> Cut him off, please.

33:10>> What you mean cut me off?

33:11>> Cut him off.

33:12>> I said

33:15>> Next speaker, please.

33:23>> Good afternoon. May I be heard?

33:25>> Uh yes, you may.

33:26>> Good evening. I I want to start by

33:28saying I don't appreciate you cutting me

33:29off off no reason, chair. Um I'd like to

33:32say the chief is very interesting

33:34character. He has a friend who calls

33:36himself a friend named Charles who I

33:37want to be filing a a police report

33:39against because he continues to harass

33:41me. You guys let him make disparaging

33:43comments against me like you let uh Ruby

33:45Polly make disparaging comments against

33:46me as well. Didn't cut them off. They

33:48spoke directly to me. Didn't speak

33:49through the chair. But I guess when they

33:51talk about people that you don't like,

33:53you let them talk. When they talk about

33:54people like the mayor, somebody who you

33:55do like, you cut them off like you just

33:57did.

33:58Um I also like to say I wa- I witnessed

34:02some officers some uh special operations

34:04officers last night violate citizens'

34:06rights. Towed a person's car because

34:08they told them to move their car cuz it

34:09was blocking the driveway and they were

34:11the police were blocking the street. As

34:13you all should know, common sense should

34:14tell you, nobody's allowed to drive in

34:16reverse. So, if you can't go forward,

34:18you blocked my forward path, I cannot

34:20move a vehicle. So, the fact that this

34:22person's car was towed, civil rights

34:24violation. They were searched, detained,

34:26no reason. They were given five tickets

34:27and their car was still towed. That's

34:29ridiculous. Also, what is being done

34:31about the homicide victims in the city

34:33of Detroit? Also, I still want five

34:35minutes in the house meeting.

34:39I I'm sorry about that.

34:40I want him to have this meeting with the

34:42mother, former officer, well former

34:44officer Matthew Eddington II. There's no

34:47reason that he can he can lie on TV and

34:50do all the stuff he wants to do and he

34:51can't have this meeting with the

34:53grieving mother whose son was a police

34:55officer. He agreed to have this meeting,

34:57he said have this meeting. I think that

34:59you guys are all going to be under

35:01investigation and it's federal

35:02investigation as well. I'm going to make

35:03sure I point out names. And also to

35:05Beverly Watts, you have not reached out

35:07to me one time about the the dog uh

35:09being shot in your district. You have

35:11not reached out to me about my phone

35:12being taken. I know that you're friends

35:14with the mayor, you're friends with uh

35:16county leadership, you're friends with

35:17Nata Miller. That's all fine, but you're

35:19going to be investigated as well.

35:20Everybody who has a hand in illegal

35:22activity on that board, you will be

35:23investigated thoroughly.

35:25>> Thank you, sir. Your time is up.

35:28Next speaker, please.

35:30>> Our next our last speaker is Tanya

35:32Jackson.

35:36Good afternoon. Can I be heard?

35:37>> Yes, you may.

35:39>> Okay, I want to first start off by

35:41saying it's so funny how

35:44DPD they advocating for domestic

35:46violence, right?

35:48But y'all got an officer

35:50on the force.

35:52Why is he celebrating the month of

35:54October when he's a woman beater?

35:57I want to kind of piggyback on last

35:59week's

36:01comments. I briefly came in at the end.

36:05First off, I'm going to stand on what I

36:07said. Why are y'all What What are What

36:10are y'all useful for?

36:12What are y'all useful for? The fact

36:16y'all not tired of the same people

36:18complaining about the same stuff. If

36:20y'all was doing y'all job Thursday

36:23through Thursday behind the scenes

36:25instead of being all on the camera at

36:27the the crimes that's going on, y'all

36:30would not hear from me. The problem was

36:32not fixed with Officer D.I. Dawson. Mr.

36:35Warfield, I filed a complaint against

36:37this kid's mom. How did y'all fix it

36:40because he was removed from the sixth

36:42precinct and placed wherever he was

36:44placed. I'm going to tell y'all like

36:45this.

36:47I I'm first wait.

36:49So all y'all that be behind the chief on

36:51the news smiling this and that, when

36:53y'all get that call on first wait, y'all

36:54don't know who it is. It's unacceptable.

36:57Y'all think that people want to keep

36:58coming saying the same stuff. Y'all not

37:00doing y'all's job. Camille, you are

37:02amazing. I really wish that you were

37:05in District 1. You are amazing. You have

37:07helped me and you not even in my

37:09district. It's unacceptable. Y'all get

37:12mad cuz people coming and they want to

37:14take it personal. It's not personal.

37:15It's very much business. If y'all did

37:18y'all's job and stopped playing the

37:20field, one minute y'all act like y'all

37:22for the people, then the next y'all

37:24going against what the people stand for

37:27and rocking with the chief acting like

37:28y'all didn't hear what that chief did to

37:30me publicly. All y'all up there sitting

37:33heard that what that chief did to me,

37:34but everybody support that. Oh, he love

37:37women. He respect women. He don't.

37:38>> Thank you, ma'am. Your time is up.

37:43>> That is your last caller, sir.

37:47>> Thank you, ma'am.

37:51>> Okay.

37:52Looking around the table, Commissioner

37:54Woods.

37:56>> Yes,

37:57uh uh

37:58thank you

38:00uh for our staff and and department for

38:03uh responding to those citizens and we

38:05look forward to getting uh expedition

38:08expeditious resolution one way or the

38:11other with that. Um

38:14it's disheartening when people um

38:18call in and offer their body parts to

38:21people in in this space

38:25and it is unacceptable

38:28and I appreciate you Mr. Chair for

38:30making sure

38:32that that type of poison and

38:34salaciousness

38:36is not

38:38allowed in this space

38:41and again

38:43um

38:45I will continue to emphasize that the

38:48Board of Police Commissioners do not

38:50investigate criminal

38:52matters.

38:54We're not crime fighters.

38:57That's the police job.

38:59If someone have a problem with service

39:01who they can go through the Office of

39:03Chief Investigator

39:06to be able to

39:07to have their

39:09lack of service if they would

39:11investigated by OCI. But no commissioner

39:15up here has the authority

39:18to have a We don't have a magic wand

39:22to deal with no criminal matters. And if

39:25these criminal allegations that people

39:27have

39:29if they don't if they're not satisfied

39:31here, you can go to the Attorney

39:32General. You can go to other folks, you

39:36know,

39:37if you're not feeling that you're

39:38getting your criminal matter resolved,

39:42but we will push to the best of our

39:44ability and we have this board has done

39:47some phenomenal things to be able to

39:51help citizens get things resolved, but

39:55you know, we we don't have all the

39:56answers. And also

39:59want to uplift Commander Dunny.

40:03Was able to call him to deal with a

40:07person that was in crisis

40:10that citizens called me and they were

40:13deeply concerned. It was a very

40:15dangerous and volatile situation. And um

40:19I know for a fact that his uh

40:22expeditious response saved lives that

40:26day. And so, I want to give it up for

40:28Commander Donny for being quick and

40:31prompt in this situation cuz it was a

40:33very dangerous situation that was

40:35someone was having a a mental health

40:37breakdown

40:39um with a butcher knife and waving it at

40:42citizens and things of that nature. So,

40:44thank you, Commander Donny.

40:49>> Thank you, Commissioner Woods.

40:50Commissioner Watts.

40:51>> Thank you, Mr. Chair. Uh this question

40:53is to uh Chief Warfield. Uh going back

40:56to the caller's inquiry regarding the

40:59unfortunate shooting of the dog.

41:01Uh could you give me an update cuz I

41:02directed you to follow up with the

41:04complainant and and and and recommend

41:07filing a complaint. Can you give me an

41:08update? Was a complaint filed?

41:11>> Um through the chair.

41:13In regards to the shooting that was in

41:17the district um that was that was

41:18mentioned earlier, there was not a

41:20complaint filed concerning that dog

41:22shooting. There is in our system a

41:25complaint filed regarding a different

41:27precinct and a different dog shooting,

41:30but not the one that uh was mentioned

41:32earlier.

41:34>> Thank you, Chief.

41:38>> Uh Commissioner Bowman.

41:39>> Yeah, um thank you um Mr. Chair. Uh

41:42before I ask my um well, address the

41:45comments, I did have a question going

41:48back to our resolutions. Often if there

41:51are people present who are honored in a

41:53resolution,

41:55do pictures and stuff for those people

41:57present?

41:58>> Uh the two resolutions that we had

42:00today, they were not present.

42:01>> Okay, thank you. Just checking on that.

42:04Okay. Um also, I regarding the um

42:07community comments, um we had um

42:12a couple issues brought up. First of

42:14all,

42:15if anybody is aware

42:18of people

42:20using false identities or anything of

42:22that nature

42:24um who are members of the department,

42:26then they need to contact the

42:27appropriate authorities. And then if

42:29they don't think and even you can even

42:31go outside this jurisdiction and go

42:33above if that there's something to it.

42:35And if you still don't get a response,

42:37you can contact us. I hear sometimes

42:39this

42:40um allegation brought up every week, but

42:43I never see anything

42:45um sent to me. I don't hear about any

42:48other action. So, I'm just wanted to

42:50say, you know,

42:51saying things in community comments is

42:53fine. You can say whatever you want, but

42:55you have want to have an effect, then um

42:58you know, act on that accordingly. Um

43:02also, if there um regarding um the

43:06contract negotiations, I appreciate the

43:08community member who came up and talked

43:09about that. And yes, we did pass a

43:11resolution and just to be reminded, this

43:13is not something that falls under the

43:17control of the Board of Police

43:18Commissioners. This is something that

43:20the um mayor appoints a um negotiating

43:24team and the City Council votes on those

43:27contracts. So, people concerned about

43:29those things, um those are the people

43:31you need to talk to about it.

43:33Um not that I mind hearing about it

43:35here, but I'm just saying those are the

43:37people actually have an effect.

43:40Um thank you.

43:42>> Thank you, Commissioner Bowman. I'm

43:43looking to my right to see if any I

43:45missed any hands.

43:50All right. Thank you.

43:54We will now move on to the um

43:58Chief's report.

44:01And with us today, we have Deputy Chief

44:03Arnold Williams.

44:07>> Through the chair.

44:09Um I'll start off by saying um when we

44:10hear community comments on our end, uh

44:12we take notes as well, and then we also

44:14make sure that we take action. So,

44:17did record the speeding for Myers and

44:20Linden and West McNichols. Um it'll be a

44:23part in the report where we'll address

44:25that as well. And um also, the two

44:28complaints that we heard, the the one

44:29concerning the uh block block club, the

44:32sewer block club, that's going to be

44:34headed by number three, we'll do a

44:35follow-up and

44:36feed that information to the board on

44:37what we find. Um and then as well, I

44:41I'll see because if this is something

44:43that keeps coming up with the DV,

44:45I want to look at that as well. I'm not

44:46sure if the board has any heard any

44:48resolution on that, but that'll be a

44:49follow-up that we'll do as well.

44:51Going to the report, um for homicides

44:54for 2026, we're down 18% uh this year.

44:58We had 106, last year we had 129, so uh

45:01we're we're continuing our trend in our

45:03violent crime. For non-fatal shootings,

45:05this year we've had 332.

45:08Last year we had 369, we're down by 10%.

45:11That's uh we had 37 less non-fatal

45:13shootings this year. Um for robberies,

45:16uh this year we had 707, last year we

45:19had 746.

45:21That's a 5% decrease. Um so, we've had

45:2439 less armed robberies this year than

45:26we had last year. Um looking at our

45:28total part one crime, um we're down 9%.

45:34So, for our part one crime, this year

45:35we've had 18,269,

45:39last year we had 19,962.

45:42Uh we've had 1,693

45:45incidents less this year than we had

45:47last year. And for those who don't know,

45:50um when we talk about part one property

45:53crime, I'm sorry, part part yeah, part

45:55one property crime,

45:57I'm sorry, they had that broke down. So,

45:58that's for our part one property crime,

45:59that's It's to be

46:01burglaries, larcenies, um and it's going

46:05to just be strictly property and motor

46:06vehicle thefts. For our violent crime,

46:09our violent crime we've had that

46:11category is going to contain homicides,

46:13robberies, and our sexual assaults.

46:16And for our the total number this year

46:18we've had 8,191.

46:20Last year we had 8,488.

46:24We've had a decrease of 297

46:28incidents of violent crime this year

46:30than we'd had last year.

46:32So, going into some incident updates, I

46:35believe everybody's aware of the

46:3611-year-old who was shot in the face by

46:39a sibling.

46:40That 11-year-old if is in stable

46:42condition. The investigation is still

46:45ongoing as to what actually caused and

46:47how the the juvenile was able to get

46:50possession of the weapon.

46:52Also, you have heard about the assault

46:54on the on the postal worker that

46:56occurred yesterday as well.

46:58That postal worker

47:00received non-life-threatening injuries.

47:02It was a laceration to his forehead.

47:06We have three adults and one juvenile in

47:08custody and we had one weapon recovered.

47:10So, we're continuing to investigate

47:12that. We had a lot of assistance from

47:15Michigan State Police, the ATF, as well

47:18as the Postal Inspector's Office came

47:20out as well.

47:22Going into

47:24one of the things that Ms. Pernell was

47:25talking about for the traffic, I'll give

47:27out just some of the stats. The 2nd

47:30Precinct, 10th Precinct, and 11th

47:32Precinct

47:33along with the Traffic Enforcement Unit,

47:35they wrote 314 citations for moving

47:38violations with 58 of those tickets

47:39being for speeding. So, we're going to

47:41continue that and we're going

47:44to make sure we focus on the areas. We

47:46know the speeding is an issue that

47:48that's occurring citywide and we're

47:50working with a bunch of

47:52Going into community updates, yesterday

47:54Chief did the last walk a mile Wednesday

47:58that occurred in the third precinct.

48:00And we had a a lot of representation. I

48:03believe we had a lot of DNI

48:05organizations out there as well

48:07that were supporting that last walk of

48:09the year.

48:10Um

48:11this weekend and going into next week,

48:14we're going to have the national faith

48:15and blue weekend. So what that is is

48:17we'll have a lot of precincts that'll be

48:20working with the faith base with faith

48:22faith-based organizations to provide

48:24different different types of

48:25programming. So

48:28the headquarter our headquarters will be

48:29doing an event tomorrow from 5:00 p.m.

48:32to 8:00 p.m. and our headquarters is

48:34located at 1301 Third Street.

48:38event that's going to be on October

48:4011th.

48:48read them all, but what I'll do is I'll

48:50direct everyone to

48:52the Detroit Police Department Facebook

48:54page.

48:55There is a section that has all of those

48:58listed for all of the precincts. And you

49:00can you can see what events you like to

49:02attend for this upcoming weekend going

49:04into next week.

49:07As far as as far as critically injured

49:10officers, we've had no officers that are

49:12currently critically injured. Um

49:16and we do have a program that's going to

49:18be occurring yesterday with the domestic

49:20violence unit and victims assistance

49:24this domestic violence event to

49:26help community honor those who lost

49:28their lives to domestic violence and

49:30offer support to those still facing

49:46open up to questions. Thank you, chair.

49:49>> Thank you, Deputy Chief. And just like

49:51to make a one comment here. Um

49:54I would like to commend the

49:55professionalism

49:57uh

49:57of Chief Edison

49:59and his executive team as well as um

50:03the mayor who was out yesterday at the

50:05incident on Artesian. Uh very

50:08unfortunate. Uh but the chief and his

50:11whole executive team along with Mayor

50:12Sheffield,

50:14they did an outstanding job on one

50:16responding to the community

50:18and the comments. And I just like to say

50:20they were uh did an excellent job. And

50:22to my fellow commissioners who were also

50:24at the scene,

50:25thank you.

50:28At this time,

50:29uh we will have uh questions, comments

50:32from the commissioners. And I'm going to

50:33start with Vice Chair Watts and then

50:35Commissioner Wood.

50:36>> Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you, Chief,

50:38for your report. I just want to comment

50:39again uh on the last walk a mile

50:42yesterday

50:43uh starting point in Precinct number

50:45three. I wasn't able to meet it last

50:47meet and and join last night due to

50:49another commitment. However, I know we

50:52had encouraged a lot of residents uh to

50:54join in. Uh they sent me emails and let

50:56me know they did participate. And for

50:58me, that makes me feel good because in

51:00order for us to ensure that we are

51:03trying to strive to have safer

51:05communities, it's going to take

51:06community engagement. So, I just want to

51:08commend you guys and commend the

51:09community who came out and participated

51:13uh in the walk a mile. And again, thank

51:15you, Commander Dunning, for your uh

51:17leadership.

51:21>> Commissioner Woods?

51:22>> Yes, uh

51:23uh definitely uh want to uh say that

51:27um the response on Artesian was a

51:30powerful response. Uh uh the

51:33officers got there in a matter of

51:35minutes to be able to

51:37save the life of these this young child.

51:41On and uh it was a heart-wrenching thing

51:45to see the pain and agony of that

51:47community. I I am also want to applaud

51:51um the mayor of the city of Detroit uh

51:54and her um her team for unleashing

51:58resources throughout that entire

52:00community and knocking on doors and

52:02wrapping their arms around folks and

52:04getting people connected to services.

52:06And so uh

52:08absolutely uh astounding uh to uh see

52:13that quick response and that rapid

52:15response to services and all that the

52:18the community violence group uh Force

52:20Detroit was there. They did a phenomenal

52:22job talking to some of the family

52:24members. I was able to talk to some of

52:26the family members with them. And you

52:28know, and then pray with some of the

52:29folks uh on that block. You know, so

52:33very very very powerful thing. Same

52:35thing when they had the mass shooting.

52:37Young man was funeralized on yesterday.

52:40Uh but that block over there knocked on

52:44every single door. Uh that's what we

52:47want to see happening in our community

52:50uh

52:50on a intervention as well as a

52:53prevention side as well.

52:55And so also want to uh ask a question uh

53:00uh Chief as relates to uh the

53:04uh re- resignations. Um we see a number

53:08of people uh on here I identified at

53:12least seven uh who had resigned but

53:16didn't indicate uh the reasons of their

53:19resignations on there. Uh I know some um

53:22resigned uh under charges. Uh some um um

53:27while under investigation. You have

53:30couple of them like that and you have

53:31one in lieu of termination. Um but it's

53:35not definitive in terms of the reasons

53:38of the resignations of seven that I have

53:42identified on the sheet that was

53:43presented to us. Can you give us some

53:46context to that and also we would like

53:49to know the reason why what was those

53:52charges that people

53:54were terminated under charges and

53:58resigned while under investigation. What

54:00was that all about?

54:02And I think it's

54:04for public interest and that the public

54:08have the right to know

54:10about those type of matters.

54:14>> Through the chair.

54:15So starting with the first question as

54:18to

54:19those members that have resigned by

54:22their names but they have no other code

54:23or characterization.

54:25It's It's a couple reasons that they

54:27could happen but before I even start,

54:30we'll try to find out specifically what

54:33those reasons are and we'll make sure

54:34the board receives it. But one of the

54:36reasons is because when the officer

54:37resigned, they may have not put a reason

54:39for the resignation.

54:41Um

54:42departmentally we have asked all

54:46commanders when they do their exit

54:48interview for those officers that resign

54:50that they ask them what is your reason

54:52for resignation. They're not required to

54:55give that by law but we ask that because

54:57it helps us in in determination. Now

55:00those who resigned under charges, we

55:02already know. Those who resigned under

55:03investigation, we already know but

55:06those who just resigned, I'll have to

55:08find out if they listed a reason on a

55:09resignation paperwork or if they did not

55:13and that's something we can include as a

55:14characterization. No reason listed by

55:16officer when they as they resigned and

55:17we'll resubmit that to the board.

55:19>> Yep. And you can even if they don't say

55:22it, if there is some type of

55:24investigation on them or they had some

55:27issues before they left you can identify

55:31that. It could It could possibly just

55:33been missed possibly.

55:36>> So through the chair,

55:37any member who resigns before the

55:40resignation is forwarded, it goes

55:42through our professional standards

55:44bureau. So, if there is an open

55:45investigation or there is charges,

55:47that's going to be listed before the

55:49paperwork goes to personnel.

55:51>> Okay. I and I see that we also have a

55:54list of uh

55:56uh number of officers who've been

55:58arrested.

55:59You know,

56:00um

56:02and

56:05I believe that's

56:06>> [snorts]

56:07>> I missed that. But, we do have a sheet

56:10on here.

56:12Uh thank you.

56:14Um and and so, this is uh

56:18for the

56:20month of September.

56:23You know,

56:24um

56:25we want to continue to stay abreast

56:29uh on these matters

56:31in terms of what is the status of these

56:35officers and what's going on with this.

56:39Okay?

56:41>> Through the chair, uh

56:43I've copied out and I'm making sure that

56:44I captured and I believe is being

56:46captured. Uh we have a redundancy to

56:48make sure we answer it. So, uh number

56:51one, make sure we get back with the

56:53board to confirm um those members who

56:56have only a resigned status and they

56:58have no other categorization for it.

57:00We'll get that back to the board if

57:01there is a difference. And then,

57:04uh

57:04for those members who are arrested,

57:06we'll make sure that the board receives

57:07the updates on where their cases stand

57:09as well.

57:10>> Okay. Thank you very kindly.

57:13Thank you.

57:16>> Thank you, Mr. Chair.

57:18On that point, just to follow up, for

57:20those officers that, you know, some of

57:22us have heard about in the news in the

57:24last couple of months that not had a

57:26good image

57:27in and around other communities.

57:30What are Are you guys stepping up any

57:31initiative to work with the unions to

57:33probably get some help? We do realize

57:36this is a stressful job.

57:38Uh but again, you know, it's not a good

57:39look. Uh some of the things we've heard

57:42in the last couple of months about some

57:43of the officers. So, I just want to

57:44know, I know you have some programs in

57:46place, but are you stepping up any

57:48efforts for preventative or even stress

57:51release or any initiatives uh to help

57:54some officers that appears to the public

57:56and myself that need some support.

57:59>> Well,

58:00just through the chair. Um the

58:02department has a couple of things, but

58:03to answer your question specifically,

58:05Commissioner,

58:06um

58:07we had a just the last 2 months, we had

58:09a couple of officers that had OUI or

58:12D-DWI charges.

58:14Um

58:15For those officers, we

58:18the chief addressed the entire command

58:20staff, and he challenged all of us to

58:23talk to our our officers. I think as all

58:25of you know, we have the holiday season

58:26coming up, Thanksgiving, then we're

58:28going to have Christmas, and then we're

58:29going to have New Year's. These are the

58:31times where not only I mean, just in the

58:34public and just in the community, we

58:35have people who will drive intoxicated.

58:39So, we know as a police department that

58:42we are pushing for our members when they

58:44get in those positions to do ride

58:46shares, to do Lyft, to do Ubers, to put

58:49the keys down. So, we're pushing that

58:50right now. In addition to that, we are

58:52looking at our wellness programs. So, I

58:55I don't know if that answered it

58:56completely, but we are taking steps.

59:01>> Mr. Morris.

59:02>> Uh yes, just um

59:04following up um

59:06on what Commissioner

59:08uh Woods had addressed. So, So, on this

59:10list here, um I did do a little

59:13research, and without going into too

59:15much details,

59:17um the officer at the top, the first

59:20one, is scheduled to come before the

59:22board on this coming Thursday for a

59:25closed session. This one right here is

59:28the one that's quite concerning because

59:30he is a habitual offender. Uh this is

59:34his third offense and it has rose risen

59:36to the level to where um the prosecutor

59:39has now charged him with a felony for

59:42his constant disregard for the law in

59:44the same manner. So, this he's coming

59:46before us on this coming Thursday.

59:49Thank you.

59:51>> Thank you, Commissioner Morris. Any

59:53other commissioner coming up?

59:55>> Thank you, Mr. Chair, and uh through the

59:57chair to the chief. Thank you for your

59:58report. Couple questions for you or

1:00:01requests, actually. So, at the end of

1:00:04September, the public was notified via

1:00:06the news that the um vice president of

1:00:09Hutchinson Funeral Home was found dead

1:00:11and

1:00:12um we were updated that at the time it

1:00:14was suspected that it was suicide, but

1:00:15of course, we know that it's an ongoing

1:00:17investigation regarding that. Um I'm

1:00:20certain you don't have it in front of

1:00:21you right now, which is fine, but if you

1:00:24the department could just prepare an

1:00:25update for the public on the final

1:00:27determination on that case once you have

1:00:29it. I'm sure um people are interested to

1:00:31know what the outcome of that is and

1:00:34certainly our hearts go out to all

1:00:36families experiencing

1:00:38um suicide cases with because they're

1:00:40particularly challenging um for

1:00:42families.

1:00:45Uh my next question um through the chair

1:00:48to the chief. I had an outreach from a

1:00:50community member complaining about the

1:00:52fact that the critical incident

1:00:53briefings are not being published

1:00:55anymore. We know that um

1:00:58that is in relation to the union lawsuit

1:01:00that is outstanding. And if we could

1:01:02just get an update from the department

1:01:04on a timeline,

1:01:06uh where that is and if there's an

1:01:08anticipation on when that can be lifted

1:01:10so that

1:01:11that body worn camera footage for

1:01:13critical incidents can start to be

1:01:14released to the public again.

1:01:18Also, um you mentioned and some of my

1:01:21colleagues also mentioned the incident

1:01:23um that tragically happened yesterday

1:01:25with the 11-year-old.

1:01:27Definitely appreciate all the work and

1:01:29support that went into supporting that

1:01:32neighborhood. I did stop by the scene

1:01:34yesterday and visited in the

1:01:36neighborhood again today and I noticed

1:01:38that gun locks were being passed out. I

1:01:41wanted to know how confident DPD is that

1:01:45people are using these gun locks that

1:01:47are being passed out because that's like

1:01:49a big thing lately. You know, they're

1:01:51being handed out all these different

1:01:53events and everything.

1:01:55I mean, do we have a sense that people

1:01:56are actually using those or they just

1:01:57being tossed in a drawer? And has there

1:02:00been any thought that maybe lock boxes

1:02:03would be more effective and what would

1:02:06that cost differential

1:02:08be if or if that has been explored yet?

1:02:15>> Um, to the chair.

1:02:16>> Yes, sir.

1:02:17>> Um, so for

1:02:19I believe the first two questions that

1:02:21you had, those will be something we have

1:02:23outstanding. So, the case status for

1:02:26Joseph Hutcheson as well as the

1:02:29critical incident briefing. So, those

1:02:30will be something we'll get back with

1:02:31you. Um,

1:02:33for the gun locks,

1:02:35currently I I can't tell you that we

1:02:37have a way to actually provide a metric

1:02:39on um,

1:02:41how many we've issued and how many are

1:02:44being used. That I I I believe that is

1:02:47one of those things where we we

1:02:49put out as a mitigator. We provide it

1:02:52free of charge

1:02:53just to make sure that you can use it.

1:02:56Are they using it or not? I don't know.

1:02:58Um, would a gun box be be something that

1:03:02they would utilize more? I don't know

1:03:03that either. But, we can definitely look

1:03:05to see

1:03:06what the cost of a gun box is and if

1:03:09it's something that feasibly we can we

1:03:11can implement. And I think we can talk

1:03:13that through through as well. But, I

1:03:14think it will definitely be a funding

1:03:15issue with the gun box. I know gun boxes

1:03:17are

1:03:18are going to be a more expensive

1:03:21um

1:03:21mitigator than actual gun lock.

1:03:24So, but it's something we can look at

1:03:25and then talk with make sure we talk

1:03:26with the board as well.

1:03:28>> Thank you.

1:03:29>> I believe one other thing that I'd like

1:03:30to say with this, the biggest piece is

1:03:33is firearms education. Um no child

1:03:36should have access or be able to access

1:03:39their parents' weapon or an adult's

1:03:41weapon. And I believe that that's that

1:03:43education piece is going to be the most

1:03:44important piece because

1:03:46um to your point, Commissioner,

1:03:48we give them gun locks, but how do we

1:03:49know they use them? We give them a gun

1:03:51box, how do we know they're going to use

1:03:53it? So, um

1:03:55it's a lot that we have to do and we

1:03:57look to do that partnering with the

1:03:58community and everyone else.

1:04:02>> Thank you for that um through the chair.

1:04:05Um just one additional uh request that I

1:04:08have. First, I just want to acknowledge

1:04:10and I think

1:04:11I think he might have stepped out um

1:04:13Brother Cunningham, um who volunteers

1:04:16his time advocating for public

1:04:18transportation justice in in so many

1:04:20ways. And we know that our officers come

1:04:22in contact with a whole lot of different

1:04:24scenarios when they're out in the

1:04:25public, some of which may necessitate a

1:04:28person to leave a location, but may not

1:04:31have transportation to do so.

1:04:33And I know um you know, it's at the

1:04:35officer's discretion, they might provide

1:04:37someone a ride somewhere, what have you.

1:04:39I would like DPD to explore the

1:04:42possibility of stocking the patrol

1:04:44officers with bus tickets um on just a

1:04:49case-by-case basis if there's someone

1:04:50needs one to get somewhere that they

1:04:52need to go. Um I know DPD is resourceful

1:04:56about locating grants for various

1:04:58initiatives and this should be pretty

1:05:00low compared to

1:05:02um a lot of the other law enforcement

1:05:04costs, but wanted to know if that's

1:05:06something that you all could look into

1:05:08just to have an additional resource for

1:05:09the patrol officers to assist the

1:05:11community when it warrants

1:05:13warrants it.

1:05:14>> Um through the chair, uh this will be

1:05:15something that we 100% can look into and

1:05:19uh I mean, it's it's Detroit Department

1:05:20of Transportation, so I don't think this

1:05:22is a heavy lift, but we'll find out what

1:05:23the feasibility is and make sure we get

1:05:25back to the board on this as well.

1:05:29>> Thank you. Um through the chair, I do

1:05:31have some concerns regarding a couple

1:05:33reports that um some are and are not in

1:05:36our package, but I can reserve that for

1:05:38the board secretary's report if you

1:05:39like.

1:05:44>> Mr. Williams?

1:05:45>> Yeah, uh through the chair, this is for

1:05:47the DC.

1:05:48Um are you looking at the same uh

1:05:51information that we have?

1:05:53Um do you have the same information that

1:05:55we have?

1:05:55>> If we're speaking about the uh you got

1:05:57to tell me which

1:05:58>> All right, I'm looking at the uh

1:06:00suspended with pay report.

1:06:06>> I don't have that report.

1:06:08>> All right, well, I'm I'm going to be

1:06:10light on it, but it's

1:06:12it's um

1:06:13two names on here, two officers,

1:06:16uh line number three and four,

1:06:18and the allegations are very alarming to

1:06:22me myself, and I would like to uh be

1:06:25updated as this investigation goes on. I

1:06:29see that the cases are from this year.

1:06:33Um I don't know what the findings might

1:06:35be. If it's if they're accused, you

1:06:38know, that's not something that you want

1:06:40to have on your name, and

1:06:42if they are in the wrong, then that's

1:06:45something that really needs to be dealt

1:06:46with, you know, quickly. That's

1:06:49that's definitely not something that you

1:06:50want to have your name associated with,

1:06:52but I do want to um

1:06:55be abreast on those two

1:06:58officers and the allegations that's that

1:07:01they're facing.

1:07:04>> Through the chair.

1:07:05>> Yes, sir.

1:07:06>> If you give me that information after

1:07:07this meeting, I'll look into those two

1:07:09officers for you and have the answer

1:07:10>> Yes, sir.

1:07:11>> by Monday.

1:07:12>> All right, that's not a problem at all.

1:07:18>> All done?

1:07:20>> Yes.

1:07:21>> Okay, Commissioner uh Woods.

1:07:23>> Yes, uh I

1:07:25uh want to acknowledge uh again, I'm

1:07:28glad that uh Commissioner uh Connealy

1:07:30talked about uh uh Danny Harani uh in

1:07:34terms of his

1:07:36uh benevolence and his heart of gold of

1:07:40investing so much into the community,

1:07:43but to be able to wrap his arms around

1:07:45Brother Cunningham and help him uh get

1:07:49relief for his vehicle

1:07:51uh was amazing. And I know he had done

1:07:53that for people families who been

1:07:55impacted by homicide. Uh and so I would

1:07:59just want to do give a shout-out to uh

1:08:02uh Danny Harani for uh that.

1:08:09>> Yeah, I'm good.

1:08:11>> And to my right

1:08:15All right.

1:08:16Thank you.

1:08:18Deputy Chief Williams

1:08:23Commissioner Bowman

1:08:24>> Uh yeah, I just um

1:08:26briefly wanted to inquire as to whether

1:08:28or not you knew of an you know, and I

1:08:31maybe the schools do this themselves,

1:08:33but I'm guessing this might be more of

1:08:34the type of thing where um a

1:08:37representative of the police department

1:08:38comes in and talks to young people. Um

1:08:41you talked earlier about um gun safety

1:08:44education regarding adults and keeping

1:08:48their firearms away from their children.

1:08:50Um is there also anything involving

1:08:53education for the children on how to

1:08:56respond if they come across a firearm?

1:09:03>> I'm thinking specifically like I know

1:09:05I've heard of things before like Eddie

1:09:07Eagle and so forth. It's fairly simple

1:09:09instructions about not touching, getting

1:09:12a responsible adult, you know, that kind

1:09:14of thing.

1:09:15>> So, um to the chair.

1:09:17>> Yes, sir.

1:09:18>> We actually have as part of this weekend

1:09:20events, the 11th precinct will be

1:09:22hosting a early childhood safety summit.

1:09:26Um that's going to be Saturday, October

1:09:2810th, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

1:09:30The location is 200 Walker Street at the

1:09:33I-CAN.

1:09:34Um what they'll be going over is they'll

1:09:36be talking about creating a culture of

1:09:38safety, situational awareness,

1:09:39de-escalation techniques, um unsecure

1:09:43firearms and youth safety skits where

1:09:45they

1:09:46uh provide what children should do if

1:09:49they see a firearm that's unsecure. So,

1:09:52um the department does have these This

1:09:54is a just an example of one of the

1:09:55things that we do

1:09:57uh provide to the community and uh we

1:10:00definitely will be looking to more

1:10:01things to provide to see what we can do

1:10:04to prevent um

1:10:05juveniles from actually accessing guns

1:10:07and having these accidents.

1:10:09>> Thank you.

1:10:11>> That's it, Commissioner Bowman?

1:10:14>> Um yes, sir.

1:10:16Yes, sir.

1:10:17>> Thank you, sir.

1:10:19I'm sorry.

1:10:20I know I'm a little I'm a little older.

1:10:22I

1:10:22lost my thought I lost my thought. Uh

1:10:25I want to see I wanted the the staff to

1:10:28explore uh with the staff I know that we

1:10:30have opportunity to do community events

1:10:33and that we can bring

1:10:35um that we can use some of our community

1:10:37dollars for swag. I wonder if we

1:10:40uh was able to uh

1:10:42explore if we can purchase uh through

1:10:45some of our community dollars

1:10:47um as a promotional, you know, for the

1:10:51work if we can explore purchasing some

1:10:54lock boxes

1:10:56uh and be able to give them out to the

1:10:57community as opposed to a

1:11:00a mug or a shirt or things of that

1:11:03nature. See if we can purchase

1:11:06some lock boxes if we doing it as a

1:11:09promotional for the event that we're

1:11:11doing.

1:11:14Cuz if if we could do that, I would I

1:11:17would spend most of my dollars there.

1:11:23Yeah, or the city dollars that they

1:11:25would allocate us to do that.

1:11:28>> [laughter]

1:11:28>> But I'll buy some, too.

1:11:31>> Thank you, Commissioner Woods. Looking

1:11:33to my right, all of the hands.

1:11:35Looking to my left.

1:11:37Thank you.

1:11:38Deputy Chief Williams.

1:11:43Team here.

1:11:44Commander Dunning, and I'll have him

1:11:46introduce

1:11:47>> Yes, so we'll have a third precinct.

1:11:50They'll be doing their presentation.

1:11:52I'll allow Commander Sean Dunning, who's

1:11:55coming up to the podium to introduce his

1:11:56team.

1:11:57>> And Commander Dunning, first of all, I

1:12:00want to say I believe I know we've been

1:12:02here before for community meetings, but

1:12:04I think this is our first time with you

1:12:06as the commander for the third precinct.

1:12:09>> It is.

1:12:10>> Congratulations, sir.

1:12:11>> Thank you.

1:12:14>> [applause]

1:12:15>> The floor is yours.

1:12:17>> Thank you, Mother Bernice. Through the

1:12:18chair,

1:12:19good evening. I'm Commander Sean

1:12:22Dunning. To my right, we got Captain

1:12:25Nathan Miller, who is my right hand for

1:12:27the third precinct. And also, we have

1:12:30Captain Tim Jones, who's part of

1:12:32downtown services, which encompasses the

1:12:34third precinct, along with Commander

1:12:36Florenzi. You know, the best thing about

1:12:38number three is that, you know, we have

1:12:57>> Straight into the report. Thank you. Uh

1:12:59first I want to thank the committee

1:13:00members that's here. We also have a

1:13:02great community that always support us

1:13:03in any endeavors that we do. We have

1:13:05Leslie here from our uh council. We have

1:13:08Rita here as well from our council. We

1:13:10have Kelly here from Brush Park. So, I

1:13:11want to thank everybody uh that came

1:13:13here to support the Third Precinct in

1:13:15our endeavors that we have. Um also want

1:13:17to thank the NPOs, our police officers,

1:13:19uh that does a great job day in and day

1:13:21out with any of the community events

1:13:23that we have and also with further

1:13:24reduction of violent crime uh that we

1:13:26have as well.

1:13:28For the Third Precinct, you know, 2025

1:13:31we had a a great year. I mean, a great

1:13:33year where we had uh down in every part

1:13:36one category and we're moving for 2026

1:13:39trending in the right direction as well.

1:13:41For the Third Precinct, we have a 5.6

1:13:43reduction in part one crimes and that's

1:13:45comparing from 2026 to 2025. That's 200

1:13:50and one less incidents that we had this

1:13:52year comparative to last year. And also,

1:13:55we had a 2.4 reduction uh

1:13:58reduction in violent crime as well,

1:14:00which encompasses a 6.4 reduction in

1:14:02property crime. So, I want to break that

1:14:04property crime out a little bit as well.

1:14:06You know, the chief has designated the

1:14:08captains and commanders to make sure

1:14:10that, you know, when we leave our homes,

1:14:12it comes back in the same condition as

1:14:13we left it. Your home shouldn't be

1:14:15broken into. Your car shouldn't be

1:14:16broken into. Your window shouldn't be

1:14:18damaged as well. So, we put a lot of

1:14:20focus on property crimes within the

1:14:22Third Precinct, which helped with that

1:14:23reduction. You know, uh it goes with

1:14:26focusing on the time of day that those

1:14:27incidents occur, uh focusing on the

1:14:29hotspot areas that they are in. And

1:14:31also, you know, we recognize that it's

1:14:34not a majority of people committing a

1:14:36majority of crimes. It is a small amount

1:14:39that's committing the majority of those

1:14:40crimes. So, we putting cops on dots,

1:14:42focusing on those individuals who are

1:14:43committing those crimes and making sure

1:14:44we're holding them accountable as well.

1:14:48For the 3rd precinct, for our non-fatal

1:14:49shootings, we are up to 23%

1:14:53uh comparative year-to-date. That's the

1:14:54upper of just five uh non-fatal

1:14:56shootings. Of course, one is is more

1:14:58than we uh want uh to have at all, but

1:15:01uh we're trending downward comparative

1:15:03for the 3rd quarter as we enter the 4th

1:15:05quarter, 13%.

1:15:07Another notable decrease that we have is

1:15:10a 25% reduction in criminal homicides

1:15:13for the 3rd precinct. Uh 25%. That's a

1:15:15huge number. Uh in looking at the data,

1:15:18you know, on the 2-year trend line,

1:15:20we're at a 66%

1:15:22reduction for homicides. 66% reduction

1:15:25for homicides for the 3rd precinct. So,

1:15:27our cops, our officers, our NPOs, our

1:15:30community, we're all working together to

1:15:31make sure that we're keeping the 3rd

1:15:33precinct safe. Um along with that

1:15:35criminal homicide reduction, for

1:15:37robberies, we're at a 26% reduction for

1:15:40the year of 2026.

1:15:42Um again, the robberies were, you know,

1:15:44someone sticks a firearm or use force to

1:15:47take something that does not belong uh

1:15:48to them and takes it away from that

1:15:50person. Uh again, a 26% reduction. Over

1:15:53your overall on the 2-year trend line,

1:15:57we're at a 42% reduction. Over 2 years,

1:15:59we reduced down 42% of our armed

1:16:03robberies that have occurred within the

1:16:053rd precinct.

1:16:07Our motor vehicle thefts, which goes

1:16:08along with our property crimes I talked

1:16:10about earlier, we're at a 21% reduction.

1:16:13Over 2-year trend line, we're at a 36%

1:16:16reduction for motor vehicle thefts.

1:16:18Burglaries are down 8%, larceny was down

1:16:212 and 1/2% and again, want to break out

1:16:23larcenies as well. You know, we have

1:16:25some of our stores, our CVS, our Family

1:16:27Dollar, our local grocery stores that

1:16:30our senior citizens shop at. We want to

1:16:31ensure that those stores stay in our

1:16:33community and make sure that when our

1:16:35citizens go there, that they're not

1:16:36experiencing somebody steal any type of

1:16:38crime in front of them. So, we put a a

1:16:40special focus on retail theft within the

1:16:42third precinct which helped with that

1:16:44reduction and also help bring the trust

1:16:47within the community

1:16:48from there. And we do that with a

1:16:49holistic approach. We're not just

1:16:51arresting people. We're also using our

1:16:53CIT units for people who are

1:16:54experiencing mental health problems.

1:16:56We're also using our unsheltered

1:16:57population to offer those resources to

1:16:59people who are

1:17:01have to commit those crimes to make sure

1:17:02that they get those resources that they

1:17:04need within the third precinct.

1:17:06How do we get here? How do we get to

1:17:08these

1:17:09trend turning downward in those these

1:17:11property crimes and violent crimes and

1:17:12part one crimes? It's a multi-layered

1:17:14approach.

1:17:16The first thing that we do is is our

1:17:17community partnership as you see.

1:17:19Anything that we do, whether be walk a

1:17:20mile, whether be any of the domestic

1:17:22violence events that we do, community is

1:17:24our number one. Whether we putting out

1:17:26preventative measures, whether we doing

1:17:27bolos or tips, our community in the

1:17:29third precinct is always supportive for

1:17:31us and helping us drive down violent

1:17:33crime within our precinct as well. We

1:17:36use data targeted enforcement meeting.

1:17:38Again, a small majority has committed

1:17:40majority of those crimes. So, we making

1:17:42sure that our cops are focusing on those

1:17:44individuals. We're also going to make

1:17:46sure that our families that are going to

1:17:48our parks, going to our our facilities

1:17:50are feeling safe. So, we make sure our

1:17:51officers goes to, whether be Ralph C.

1:17:53Wilson Park or Bennett Park that's in

1:17:55the north end that we all like to visit

1:17:57as well to make sure the families are

1:17:59feeling safe while they're there. And

1:18:00one thing that's particular about the

1:18:01third precinct, we have our NPOs, but on

1:18:04top of our NPOs, we have beat officers.

1:18:07So, we have beat officers that's

1:18:08assigned to those particular sections.

1:18:11We actually have one beat officer that

1:18:12walks the beat year round, rain, sleet,

1:18:15snow, storm, he's out there going to

1:18:17businesses and meeting those residents

1:18:19and they all know him by name and he

1:18:21knows them by name. So, we make sure

1:18:22we're making those connections. That's

1:18:24that's why we have so much support for

1:18:26the community, just those small things

1:18:27that we do there. Our arrests are up

1:18:29within the third precinct. We're at

1:18:31night 1,932

1:18:33in 2026 compared to 1,856

1:18:37in to 2025.

1:18:39Our CCW arrests are up. We had 105 in

1:18:412026 comparative to a 98 in 2025.

1:18:47One thing that we also do is early

1:18:49intervention. Uh whether we do any

1:18:51firearms intervention with the youth,

1:18:53whether be brotherhood, sisterhood

1:18:55program that we have started and I

1:18:56started that with uh Captain, now

1:18:58Commander Marcus Thurkill, 2018. We like

1:19:02to do early prevention and that goes

1:19:04with even block clubs. So, we have uh

1:19:06block parties, I should say. If we know

1:19:08that our neighbors cannot sleep at night

1:19:10and we know that, you know, there's

1:19:11parties at 2:00 in the morning, we make

1:19:14sure that we stop those things from uh

1:19:16getting larger before they get uh out of

1:19:18hand. So, early intervention is on our

1:19:20number one radar. Green light

1:19:22partnerships, uh we make sure that we

1:19:24are stopping in, checking uh those

1:19:26stores, checking those gas station,

1:19:27those high-populated areas. So,

1:19:30citizens, when they visit those gas

1:19:31station, liquor stores, or community

1:19:33businesses, that they see the police and

1:19:35it's not the first time they see them,

1:19:36they see them in good interactions as

1:19:38well.

1:19:39Uh one thing I do like to highlight is

1:19:41that the 8th Precinct have one of the

1:19:43fastest response time in the city. We uh

1:19:45average between a 8 to 9-minute response

1:19:47time. I even looked yesterday, we're

1:19:49about about 8 minutes and the day before

1:19:51we're at 6 minutes of response time. So,

1:19:53when you call the the police uh in the

1:19:553rd Precinct, our officers are

1:19:57expeditiously getting there safely

1:19:59without any car actions, but safely. Uh

1:20:02So, we make sure our officers are there.

1:20:03We also work with our community

1:20:05partners. Um uh officer workplace

1:20:07community resiliency, making sure that

1:20:09we address the mental health uh issues

1:20:11within the precinct and also the

1:20:12unsheltered uh concerns. And then that

1:20:15brings me to the wrap-up of some of the

1:20:16unique successes that we have. You know,

1:20:18within 3rd Precinct, we have a lot of

1:20:20events that are happening here, whether

1:20:22it be fireworks, the Grand Prix, uh

1:20:25the NCAA Final Four that's coming here

1:20:27pretty soon, um

1:20:29the concerts that's going on, sporting

1:20:30events. You know, as of the opening day

1:20:33that happened April 3rd, 2026, we had

1:20:35the largest opening day that we had in

1:20:37years. It was over 200,000 residents

1:20:40that visited downtown Detroit. That's

1:20:42nearly a 24% increase compared to this

1:20:45year than last year, and no incidents

1:20:47occurred on opening day because of the

1:20:49strategy that myself, Commander

1:20:51Fergenson, Captain Nathan Miller, temp

1:20:53Captain Tim Jones that's seated over

1:20:54there, implemented. When we have these

1:20:56large events to make sure whether you

1:20:57work here, live here, play here, that

1:21:00you're going to feel safe uh within the

1:21:01third precinct. So, we definitely put in

1:21:03that strategy. And then lastly, I want

1:21:05to talk about the community events. I'm

1:21:07a big community person, whether whether

1:21:09it be from starting uh at the risk at

1:21:12risk youth programs, or make sure we do

1:21:14our senior dances that uh that we have

1:21:15done last year. I'm always there along

1:21:18with my captain that's seated to my

1:21:19right. Um walk a mile Wednesday that we

1:21:22had yesterday.

1:21:23If I might say so, it was the best walk

1:21:25a mile that there was. We had the

1:21:27largest, the biggest, the loudest walk a

1:21:31mile yesterday. And I appreciate all the

1:21:33community members, council women's, uh

1:21:36councilman, the board, uh all the uh

1:21:39people that came out to support us at

1:21:40the third precinct. And with that, uh we

1:21:43have just another couple couple

1:21:44community events. We have a bike ride

1:21:47that's October 15th. We also partner

1:21:49with Slow Roll to make sure that we are

1:21:51reaching people within our community and

1:21:53outside of our community. Usually, we

1:21:55have about 100 to 150 bike riders, and I

1:21:57myself, I get on the pedal bike. My legs

1:21:59hurt, but at the walk, we we pedal those

1:22:0210 miles and make sure we are engaging

1:22:04with the res- residents, whether they're

1:22:06on a bike or living in the community, to

1:22:08make sure that they don't see police

1:22:09when it's bad, but also see police uh

1:22:11when it's good.

1:22:13And then lastly, we have our trunk or

1:22:15treat October 31st.

1:22:17Yeah, I'm sorry.

1:22:19We have our trunk or treat

1:22:22at 4:00 p.m.

1:22:24Uh October 31st. And also, we have a new

1:22:27initiative called block block block,

1:22:29where we're going to meet with our our

1:22:31block club presidents, meet with our

1:22:33residents, and we're going to walk the

1:22:34blocks with them. So, any issues,

1:22:36whether be grass or overgrown house,

1:22:39anything that needs to be boarded up, we

1:22:40see it in real time to make sure we're

1:22:41addressing those concerns. So, that is

1:22:43my last at that point. Thank you. It's

1:22:45to the board.

1:22:46>> Anything from your

1:22:48Anything from your captain, or did you

1:22:50cover everything?

1:22:52>> Through the chair, I think he covered

1:22:53everything for us.

1:22:54>> Okay.

1:22:55Any of your officers here that you want

1:22:57to introduce?

1:22:58>> Uh no, the officers are outside on the

1:23:00post and in inside, but they are

1:23:01definitely uh here supporting uh this uh

1:23:03the board. Thank you.

1:23:05>> Thank you very much.

1:23:08around here.

1:23:12Oh.

1:23:15Mr. Morris.

1:23:17>> Uh yeah, Commander, can you tell us a

1:23:18little bit more about the the

1:23:19Brotherhood program? Because it's

1:23:22something that seems very interesting,

1:23:24and I I wouldn't mind

1:23:26using some of my portion of the

1:23:29community engagement funds to kind of

1:23:31support what you guys are doing.

1:23:34>> Yes, sir. So, the Brotherhood Sisterhood

1:23:36program, the Brotherhood started in 2018

1:23:39under Commander Third Kill, where we

1:23:42look at and talk to youth experiencing

1:23:45rather be adverse at home or rather be

1:23:47adverse with contacts with the police.

1:23:49When we go over of life decisions,

1:23:52we have a basically a

1:23:54restorative justice circle, talking

1:23:56through with them about daily life

1:23:58activities. And then we have a breakdown

1:24:00from there about, you know, how you

1:24:02should proceed in situations. And from

1:24:04there, we had a lot of success over the

1:24:06years. It's still a sustainable program

1:24:08all the way from 2018 to now that's

1:24:10still currently running. And it's run

1:24:12out the 9th precinct and 8th precinct.

1:24:13And uh uh Commissioner Daryl Woods has

1:24:15been uh

1:24:17a part of the program as well, has

1:24:18helped us out uh building it up from

1:24:20when we first started.

1:24:21>> Yeah, because through the chair I know

1:24:23that you guys I've seen it where you

1:24:25guys were like taking the the the

1:24:28children to like sporting events and I

1:24:30know that you guys were uh bringing

1:24:32pizza and get-together get-togethers and

1:24:35stuff like that. So, I I would like to

1:24:37just get more information on that and

1:24:39see how, you know, I can support,

1:24:42specifically since me and Commissioner

1:24:43Bowman share the ninth precinct and, you

1:24:46know, and and see about getting some of

1:24:48those community engagement funds, you

1:24:51know, directed to you guys to help

1:24:53support what you're doing. So, thank

1:24:54you.

1:24:55>> Thank you. I'll make sure you get the

1:24:56information, sir.

1:24:56>> Yes, sir. Thank you.

1:24:59>> Thank you.

1:25:00To my right and to my left, I see no

1:25:02other questions.

1:25:05Thank you, Deputy Chief.

1:25:07Thank you, Commander Donny.

1:25:10And thank you, uh Captain Miller.

1:25:12I hope I'm saying it right.

1:25:15Thank you. At this point, we will move

1:25:16on to I see no presentation to the

1:25:18board, so

1:25:20we will now get a report from the

1:25:21board's secretary,

1:25:22Secretary Lydia Garner.

1:26:44complaints committee meeting at 2:00

1:26:46p.m. That's 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday. And

1:26:50those are the announcements for

1:26:53today.

1:26:54>> Thank you, Madam Secretary.

1:26:57>> Mr. Chair.

1:26:59>> Commissioner Camil.

1:27:00>> Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you for your

1:27:02report, Madam Secretary.

1:27:04A couple follow-ups that I'm looking for

1:27:07staff to really follow up with the

1:27:09department on because these have been

1:27:11outstanding

1:27:12amongst the whole list of other

1:27:14outstanding requests.

1:27:16But these in particular,

1:27:18um

1:27:18I know that at least myself, if not

1:27:21others, have asked for the outcome of

1:27:23sustained citizen complaints.

1:27:26The a report showing how the what action

1:27:29the department took on citizen

1:27:32complaints that were sustained from OCI.

1:27:35That's been requested months ago and is

1:27:37very important for us as commissioners

1:27:39to understand

1:27:41that

1:27:42what's coming out of OCI as sustained is

1:27:45actually having some type of action

1:27:46being taken care um

1:27:48being taken in the department. And so,

1:27:51we need a status on

1:27:53that report, which has been requested

1:27:56several times. The other is in August, I

1:27:59requested the department to provide and

1:28:02a report on their last ALPR usage audit.

1:28:06Um we've gone back and forth about this

1:28:08several times, refined the request, and

1:28:12made clear that this is needed. I'm not

1:28:14sure what the hold up is. I don't know

1:28:16if DPD has a response about that, but

1:28:19that's something that I would like staff

1:28:21to

1:28:23um really pay close attention to and

1:28:25make sure that we get it.

1:28:28And then the last one is the

1:28:29administrative leave with pay report,

1:28:32which was mentioned already today, but

1:28:34my concern about it is that it still

1:28:36doesn't have dates on it.

1:28:38And the dates were taken off of it.

1:28:40We've asked several times for the dates

1:28:42to be put back on it.

1:28:44I can understand maybe once or twice

1:28:46missing it. The The report only comes

1:28:48once a week. I mean, once a month.

1:28:51But

1:28:53like I need to know if it's are the

1:28:54dates being intentionally left off? Are

1:28:56we not going to get the dates? Or

1:28:59why aren't the dates on there? And And

1:29:01staff, if if you can identify when

1:29:05the reports don't have what we asked on

1:29:07it,

1:29:08at least say something to us about why

1:29:10it's missing and that you're closing

1:29:12that gap. But the dates on this report

1:29:14is critical.

1:29:16Um it really rounds out the story about,

1:29:19you know, what we're looking for on this

1:29:20administrative leave with pay.

1:29:26>> Which one now?

1:29:27Okay. Uh just a quick question. Uh in

1:29:31your earlier and uh this is I'll start

1:29:33with uh

1:29:35Chief Warfield. Chief Warfield, uh

1:29:37Commissioner Carmella had originally

1:29:39mentioned about some uh citizens'

1:29:41complaints. Are you familiar with what

1:29:43she's talking about unless I misheard

1:29:45it?

1:29:49I'm sorry, through the chair. Can you

1:29:50repeat that? Okay. Different context?

1:29:54Yes, sir.

1:29:55Um uh

1:29:57if she can clarify for herself, but the

1:30:01uh

1:30:03those are the ones that have been

1:30:05sustained, you know, and so Chief

1:30:08Warfield

1:30:09wouldn't have the the response to that

1:30:12after they are sustained in OCI and go

1:30:16back to the uh

1:30:18uh to the department, um what was the

1:30:21corresponding action uh to those from

1:30:25the department? Uh was any discipline

1:30:27happening? Uh was it a verbal? Whatever,

1:30:30you know. Did anybody get a day off or a

1:30:33half a day off or whatever it is that if

1:30:35I understand you correctly, uh uh

1:30:38Commissioner.

1:30:39>> Through through the chair, that's

1:30:40correct, um Commissioner Woods. And just

1:30:43to add some more context to that, when

1:30:45we started at the beginning of the year

1:30:48and this was brought up, Secretary did

1:30:51say that the board was getting this

1:30:53report and that the report was pulled to

1:30:56make some adjustments to it. But now

1:30:58we're here in October and it's still not

1:31:00coming back to us. So, I don't know what

1:31:03adjustments needed to be made,

1:31:05but we need to have that information.

1:31:08>> So, let me make sure from my

1:31:09understanding, the sustained reports,

1:31:11they go back to the

1:31:13DPD?

1:31:14>> Mhm.

1:31:15Through the chair.

1:31:16>> will we be receiving those reports from

1:31:17the DPD or from the board secretary?

1:31:20>> Well,

1:31:21you see, she's been tasked to get those

1:31:25that information. We It is outstanding

1:31:27that that request has been made. Uh

1:31:31I I believe we have a

1:31:33um a disciplinary uh committee and I

1:31:37think if that committee met, uh that

1:31:41they can have the appropriate people in

1:31:43the room that deals with all of those

1:31:45disciplinary issues to get those reports

1:31:48more expeditiously. So, I I I encourage

1:31:52that we uh based upon our level of

1:31:55requests, that we get a the disciplinary

1:31:58committee to meet to get all these

1:32:01outstanding uh requests, you know, where

1:32:05it won't be uh you know, the secretary

1:32:08making a request or the

1:32:11board uh staff making a request and it

1:32:14not it's not coming. We need to close

1:32:16the gap quickly and I think we could do

1:32:19that

1:32:20uh with a disciplinary committee

1:32:21meetings.

1:32:22>> So, is my understanding correct that

1:32:25these sustained reports go to the DPD

1:32:28first? All right. So,

1:32:29>> chair.

1:32:30>> I want to acknowledge

1:32:32>> Okay.

1:32:32>> uh

1:32:33Corporal Battersby.

1:32:34>> Through the chair, that is not accurate.

1:32:36Uh DPD has not received those reports

1:32:39for months. As a matter of fact, uh Mr.

1:32:42Warfield was just kind enough to send me

1:32:45a breakdown of the reports on Monday

1:32:47that I asked for

1:32:49uh of the findings for the 67 cases that

1:32:53were found between

1:32:569/25/25

1:32:57and 9/25/26.

1:32:59And I'm going through those 67 cases

1:33:02currently right now and trying to match

1:33:04them up in our system. But, I believe

1:33:06the charter even says uh chief is

1:33:08supposed to get those once a month

1:33:11uh of the findings from OCI and we have

1:33:14not been receiving those.

1:33:16If we do receive those through the

1:33:18chair, I will make sure that there is a

1:33:20way for us to track back

1:33:24and the findings on these cases.

1:33:27>> Thank you, sir. Uh

1:33:30Chief Warfield.

1:33:32>> Uh thank you through the chair.

1:33:33Actually, we're talking two different

1:33:35things now.

1:33:36>> Right.

1:33:36>> Um the report that Commissioner Camille

1:33:39is referencing is the report that the

1:33:43department puts out after we send our

1:33:46sustained cases to disciplinary. Right.

1:33:49Then, disciplinary then

1:33:51has dispositions which which they have

1:33:54on each case.

1:33:56We've seen a couple of those reports

1:33:59come over

1:34:00from disciplinary

1:34:02through the secretary's office to this

1:34:04board as relates to what happens to the

1:34:07officers that are sustained. Because

1:34:09some of those officers

1:34:11are given disciplinary actions, some are

1:34:14not. And so what this board is asking

1:34:16for in those sustained cases,

1:34:19where is that report now

1:34:21and when can they get it again? The

1:34:24report that Corporal through the chair

1:34:26of the report that Corporal Battersby is

1:34:28talking about now is the report that

1:34:30Commissioner Commissioner Camille asked

1:34:33for

1:34:34uh and we presented last week that was

1:34:36in your binders that dealt with the

1:34:38number of cases. Those two reports

1:34:40actually. One was dealt with the number

1:34:42of cases that was transferred

1:34:44out of our office to a different agency

1:34:48over the period of a year.

1:34:50And the second report was the report of

1:34:53command level officers from um deputy

1:34:57chief on up

1:34:59that may have had some disciplinary or

1:35:01had complaints against them. I'm sorry.

1:35:03Had complaints against them. Those are

1:35:04the two reports that we

1:35:07presented last week and that's what I

1:35:08sent Corporal um

1:35:11Battersby. And so there were two

1:35:13different reports that he was

1:35:14referencing.

1:35:18>> I will

1:35:19Through the chair I'll I will check on

1:35:21the report that uh Victoria uh is

1:35:25requesting.

1:35:26>> Commissioner Camille.

1:35:27>> Uh and get you an answer on that report

1:35:30since it hasn't been responded to in

1:35:32months. Uh I'll find out about that one.

1:35:35But I'm working on the one that uh

1:35:37Chief Warfield did supply me on Monday.

1:35:40>> Okay.

1:35:41>> Thank you, sir. Uh Commissioner uh

1:35:44Woods.

1:35:44>> Yeah, I know you meant no harm, but you

1:35:46know, please refer to her as

1:35:48Commissioner Camille.

1:35:50Uh

1:35:51um and cuz that's who she is.

1:35:54Uh And then also

1:35:57the um

1:36:00It's It's It's vitally important

1:36:02that that the disciplinary committee

1:36:06meet to get these things resolved

1:36:09immediately and forthwith.

1:36:11And so I encourage the charity, you

1:36:13know, that make sure that it

1:36:15get done.

1:36:16>> Yes, sir.

1:36:18Commissioner Watts.

1:36:19>> Yes. Finally, I think it's important I

1:36:21want to state again for all citizens,

1:36:24you know, as we always state our job is

1:36:26to review and investigate any complaint,

1:36:30but before the chief can do that one has

1:36:32to be filed. I want to ask Chief

1:36:34Warfield quickly and briefly, could you

1:36:36remind the public of the process and the

1:36:38steps for having your staff look into

1:36:41any complaint that they want what the

1:36:43process they have to do. I think this

1:36:45very important cuz we do want to

1:36:47investigate and get an update back to

1:36:50citizens, but we got to make sure they

1:36:51know the steps they need to take to

1:36:53start that process.

1:36:56>> Through the chair.

1:36:58Um, this we made the process fairly

1:37:02simple. All you have to do is go to any

1:37:04precinct to file a complaint. You can

1:37:07file a complaint online through the

1:37:10board's website and that comes directly

1:37:13to our office. You can come into our

1:37:15office, 900 Mariposa

1:37:18right in beautiful Palmer Park and we'll

1:37:21take walk-in complaints as well. You can

1:37:23call the board secretary's office, BOPC

1:37:27office. They send complaints over to us

1:37:30as well and you can also email

1:37:31complaints. And once we get that

1:37:33complaint, we follow up with the

1:37:35citizen. So we will contact the citizen.

1:37:37There are many times when a citizen does

1:37:39not want to go any further and but we'll

1:37:42still do do the investigation anyway

1:37:44based on the information that we

1:37:46received on the initial complaint. Once

1:37:49we receive that information on the

1:37:50complaint, we petition now we petition

1:37:54the department to supply us with

1:37:56evidence and

1:37:59we then evaluate that evidence and we

1:38:02may call officers in for Garrity

1:38:04interviews

1:38:06and the whole not just officers but

1:38:09anyone who works for the Detroit Police

1:38:10Department we're able to call them in to

1:38:12interview them and we'll make our

1:38:14assessments and then those assessments

1:38:17come here to the board and the board

1:38:20members are the final signature on those

1:38:22complaints and then if if officers are

1:38:25sustained those cases then go to the

1:38:28Detroit Police Department's disciplinary

1:38:30unit and then disciplinary may be

1:38:34discipline may be metered out through

1:38:36that process with the department.

1:38:38>> Thank you Chief and I encourage again

1:38:40lastly anyone that you have a complaint

1:38:43anything that you want us to investigate

1:38:45please follow that process and we can

1:38:47give you an update afterwards. Thank you

1:38:49chair.

1:38:50>> Thank you.

1:38:51I'm sorry Madam Secretary you did have

1:38:53your hand up.

1:38:56>> No comment at this time chair. We will

1:38:59talk with staff to deliver those

1:39:02reports.

1:39:03>> Mr. Chair

1:39:05I know you can't see me down here too

1:39:06well. Um

1:39:08can we can we get a response regarding

1:39:11uh my concern regarding the admin leave

1:39:13with pay report that still doesn't have

1:39:15the date on the dates on it. I don't

1:39:18want us to get to November and the

1:39:21report again still doesn't have dates on

1:39:23it.

1:39:24So do we know if

1:39:26Madam Secretary through the chair do you

1:39:28know where we are with that?

1:39:30>> Madam Secretary

1:39:33>> Are we

1:39:33you

1:39:34Can you restate that Commissioner

1:39:36Camille? So one of the reports that you

1:39:38provided to us today is the

1:39:40administrative leave with pay report

1:39:43that has a list of the officers that are

1:39:45currently on administrative leave with

1:39:47pay. That report used to have dates on

1:39:50it so that we could tell how long they

1:39:52had been on administrative leave with

1:39:54pay.

1:39:55That date was removed because there were

1:39:58questions around what did that date

1:40:00really mean? Is that the original change

1:40:03of duty status or was that the most

1:40:05recent change of duty status? And we

1:40:07asked for clarification on the dates so

1:40:10that we really understood what the date

1:40:12meant. But since then, the date's just

1:40:14been removed.

1:40:16And every time we get the report now, we

1:40:17ask for the dates to be put back on

1:40:19there and the dates still are not on

1:40:21there.

1:40:23>> Mr. Chair, through the chair,

1:40:25um

1:40:26first thing tomorrow morning,

1:40:27I will get with Chief of Staff,

1:40:31um

1:40:34Captain Slaughter,

1:40:36to understand

1:40:38getting that report together. And Mr.

1:40:42Chair, one of the questions I was going

1:40:43to ask, if I may have an opportunity to

1:40:46get with Chief Warfield on the other

1:40:48report you were speaking of, if I could

1:40:50get in hand what is sent over because

1:40:53one of the last times the other report

1:40:55you were talking about, there was a

1:40:57discrepancy between what Internal

1:40:59Affairs had and what was sent from OCI.

1:41:02So, if I have that in hand to verify and

1:41:05get you the

1:41:08most up-to-date, correct report with

1:41:10accuracy, I will do my best starting

1:41:12first thing in the morning.

1:41:16>> Thank you, Madam Secretary, through the

1:41:17chair.

1:41:19>> Thank you, Commissioner Camille.

1:41:21You would also address it to Chief

1:41:23Warfield.

1:41:27I'm sorry, I thought the secretary

1:41:29had something

1:41:30>> Um

1:41:31obviously, um I'm at the service of this

1:41:33board. So, whatever the board wants me

1:41:35to do, we obviously will do whatever

1:41:37needs to be do done to try and secure

1:41:39that report. So, that's not a problem.

1:41:41>> Okay. Thank you.

1:41:43Commissioner Woods.

1:41:44>> I think we need to just get rid of the

1:41:46verbal gymnastics. Just get the

1:41:48information. Uh period, point blank. Uh

1:41:51and so, we need to just roll up I think

1:41:55through the disciplinary committee that

1:41:57we can get it. You know, but we just

1:41:59need it the information from the

1:42:00department, period. You know, so uh we

1:42:03I'll I'll follow up personally on this

1:42:05myself as well.

1:42:07>> You'll let me know.

1:42:08>> I will. Uh Mr. Chair.

1:42:09>> Madam Secretary.

1:42:11>> Mr. Chair, if I may uh Commissioner Ivy

1:42:16disciplinary committee.

1:42:18>> And I'll be following up with her.

1:42:20>> I'll be following up with her also.
