Pillar Two: Policy and Oversight Pillar Two emphasizes the need to collaborate with communities to develop policies and strategies for deploying resources that aim to reduce crime by improving partnerships and increasing community engagement. Agencies should have clear and comprehensive use of force policies (including training on the importance of de- escalation), mass demonstrations, consent before searches, gender identification, racial profiling, and performance measures. Policies and aggregate data should be made publicly available. Agencies are encouraged to periodically review policies and procedures, conduct nonpunitive peer reviews of critical incidents separate from criminal and administrative investigations and establish civilian oversight mechanisms with their communities. Of the 21 recommendations and action items, 14 are being fully implemented. For example, use of force policies are openly available for public review; training policies should emphasize de-escalation and alternatives to arrest when appropriate; independent criminal investigations and external prosecutors for officer-involved use of deadly force; scientifically supported eyewitness identification practices that eliminate presenter bias; and policies prohibiting profiling and discrimination. In the update report, 10 next steps have been identified with several highlighted here: 2.2 In 2020, the police department will explore an "early warning system" police management tool designed to identify officers who may require supervisory intervention to correct behavior. 2.2.1 The department will continue to increase the number of personnel certified in Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) and utilize third-party subject matter experts in future de-escalation training. 2.6 The department will implement RIPA mandates in 2021 by collecting data and present the results to the City Council and community by March 2022. The department will also ensure systems and processes comply with changes in reporting to the state as required by RIPA. Pillar Three: Technology and Social Media Pillar Three focuses on the department's adoption and use of new technology to build community trust and legitimacy with the community by engaging and educating its members. Technology and social media allow for dialogue to take place between the department and the community regarding their expectations for department transparency and accountability and the protection of individual privacy. Of the 7 recommendations and action items, 6 are being fully implemented. For example, deploy smart technology designed to prevent tampering with or manipulating of evidence; encourage public engagement and collaboration when developing policy Page 4 of 10
