ETI Program Building Relationships & Resilliency: Creating Cultural Excellence

Executive Director’s Report

Charting a course for the future We talk a lot about how technology is forever changing and shaping the work we do at the association and in your roles as law enforcement leaders. Innovations help us pack more and more into each day. But none of them replace the value of also sitting down face-to-face and working through issues that impact public safety in our communities and the policing profession.

ANDY SKOOGMAN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR MINNESOTA CHIEFS OF POLICE ASSOCIATION

These days I am forever in my truck, driving here and there, meeting with as many people as possible. This time of year, it’s a lot of visits to the Capitol, sometimes more than once a day. I am grateful to the chiefs who continually make time to testify in St. Paul and the many others who weigh in on important legislative issues with both our Capitol team and their legislators back home. We all live with decisions that must be made in a few short weeks. That is why lawmakers truly appreciate our willingness to work with them on a range of what can often be controversial issues with many different points of view.

The growth of the Executive Training Institute and Law Enforcement Expo is a reflection of your energy and ideas. Shortly we’ll be driving to Duluth for what is our biggest face-to-face meeting of the year. The growth of the Executive Training Institute and Law Enforcement Expo is a reflection of your energy and ideas. It is clear from surveys that connecting with and learning from other chiefs is one of the biggest values of an MCPA membership. We want to expand and enhance your networking opportunities in the years to come. We’ll start at ETI in Duluth with a gathering of FBI NAA members. Look for more on that event in C-Notes and on the ETI Mobile app. You will read more about our ETI speakers and programs in the pages to come. And, for those who cannot make it, you will learn about ways to connect to ETI both during our time in Duluth and after it ends. As we look to the second half of the year, I want to share a roadmap of where we’re headed. First, we know building stronger connections within our distinct regions is important. Each area of our state has specific concerns that deserve attention whenever our members gather. And these meetings are good opportunities to learn about other ideas and programs that are working well elsewhere. That is why we currently have a Chiefs’ Survey open where we are asking about your specific local needs and interests. We’ll gather your feedback and later this year begin scheduling Regional Roundups. These newly designed regional gatherings will still focus on local matters but include timely updates on the many resources MCPA can offer, from peer support to chaplaincy and mental health connections and media relations.

MINNESOTA POLICE CHIEF

We are unveiling a new video series and other media relations support at ETI. As our branding committee continues its work this year, we will deliver regular talking points and data to support your community outreach along with opportunities to share positive law enforcement stories from your communities with a larger audience. This is about a broader effort across all of Minnesota to tell the real story of law enforcement and how people from different walks of life choose to wear the badge. Our Critical Issue Forums have become an important tool for MCPA to shine a spotlight on emerging challenges and have helped us build important relationships with community stakeholders as we work to solve them. We plan to focus more attention on Minnesota’s opioid epidemic later this year. We plan to focus more attention on another hot topic later this year. More than 100 people participated in our last Critical Issues Forum on law enforcement solutions to the mental health crisis which we also livestreamed to an audience watching from all around our state. And that brings me back to my original thought about technology. With new advancements continually rippling through society, law enforcement is among the first to encounter the good and the bad. ETI will be a great opportunity to see and learn about new tools to support public safety. But we want to create a new event to at the end of the year to further demo and explore innovations. While technology will be the focus, we will bill it as chance for us to once again gather face-to-face and learn from one another. I wanted to share this roadmap with you before we see each other in Duluth. As you think about the rest of 2018 and beyond, don’t hesitate to share your thoughts about these plans and any other ideas.

President’s Perspective

How time flies It is hard for me to believe that my term as President for the MCPA will culminate on April 25th and what is harder to comprehend is how fast the 14 years has passed since I participated in my first MCPA experience as a new member of the Education and Training Committee in 2004. Since that time, I have had the honor to hold a number of positions within the MCPA that I will always cherish including being an active participant in three different 3-year strategic planning sessions to help build the roadmap that guided the Association on a constructive path forward.

CHIEF MICHAEL GOLDSTEIN PRESIDENT MINNESOTA CHIEFS OF POLICE ASSOCIATION PLYMOUTH POLICE DEPARTMENT

When I reflect on what the MCPA has accomplished over the last 14 years, I am both proud and amazed by the work of dozens of talented Minnesota police leaders who cooperatively created an outstanding professional association. Today, the Association is a modern and relevant voice that effectively promotes 21st Century law enforcement leadership ideals that has elevated the profession in the eyes of the greater public, our state legislators, and other state law enforcement associations from across the country. The collective offerings the MCPA provides its membership: superior training and educational programs, strong legislative advocacy, high-tech interactive communication options and the many day-to-day resources our chiefs need to help lead and manage their organizations are unparalleled.

MCPA has embarked on new programing that further differentiates us from traditional associations. Beyond the Association’s established and highly evolved service offerings, the MCPA has embarked on new programing in the last year that further differentiates us from traditional associations. The Wellness Initiative that includes the Association’s highly regarded Peer Support Program, the health seminars with Dr. Paul Nystrom, the burgeoning Chaplaincy Program through Chief Tony Paetznick and the emerging mental health services that the Association will soon promote for the membership are sustainable offerings that will provide additional and needed tools for chiefs to help cope with, and thrive through, the many challenges that law enforcement leaders face. No other organization that I am aware of delivers this type of robust support for its membership. Further, the MCPA has listened to its membership and through the newly established Branding Committee, the Association will be producing a number of community relations resources to assist chiefs in constructing higher levels of community trust and police legitimacy through media placement strategies that include a forthcoming video series and data-driven talking points. Through this storytelling format, chiefs will have the opportunity to enhance their position as community leaders and problem solvers – a service that every chief can benefit from. As I turn the gavel over to Chief Dan Hatten and the rest of the Board, I am confident that the Association will continue on a positive trajectory and through the staff’s immense talents, I am excited to see how these new programs come to fruition. As a chief, I know that I will continue to take advantage of the many needed and appreciated services of the MCPA.

MINNESOTA POLICE CHIEF

Before I close, I want to take a moment to congratulate the many worthy award recipients for their heroic actions, professional services and quality programing that was showcased at the ETI Awards Ceremony – your actions and commitment to bettering the law enforcement profession have made a positive difference in the lives of others, and for that you have my sincere gratitude. Also, as President, there was one action I prayed to avoid: the donning of the Police Cross and unfortunately, I, nor the Association, were able to escape that circumstance. Further exacerbating this difficult reality is the fact that the family who will receive the Police Cross resides in my Established 1974 community and is in memory of an officer who served in a neighboring jurisdiction; Officer William (Bill) Mathews of the Wayzata Police Department who was killed in the line of duty on September 8, 2017. Bill’s SERVICES INCLUDE: wife, Shawn, and their son, Wyatt, will receive the Police Cross and on behalf of the MCPA, Pre-Employment Pyschologicals Pre-Employment Psychologicals I want to offer the Matthew’s family our Promotion Evaluations Promotion Evaluations sincerest condolences. Please know that Bill’s Fitness for DutyforEvaluations Fitness Duty Evaluations service will never be forgotten.

Professional Development

Join us on the Road to Wellness We hope that our work at the MCPA continues to have value for our members. As the Professional Development Director, it has been a challenging journey to keep up with the changing demands of law enforcement and our Board’s desire to provide high quality options for training, self-improvement, tools for wellness and support and guidance in times of need. But we have taken the challenge to heart and like you, we are always continuing to improve, respond to your requests and suggestions and provide the best possible services for our members.

BOB JACOBSON PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR MINNESOTA CHIEFS OF POLICE ASSOCIATION

As I write this column, we have undertaken exciting options to enhance our Wellness training to our members. Dr. Paul Nystrom, a physician with Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC) and also a part-time police officer currently with the City of Plymouth, continues to provide our members with opportunities to enhance their knowledge around physical wellness. He is currently teaching a three-part series to more than 30 members on “Strength and Resiliency: A Tactical Approach to Wellness”. This training focuses on providing current and accurate information on diet, exercise, sleep, and even family health. He tackles subjects such as diet trends, the truth about “fat” and how to become physically fit through changes in our diet and exercise habits. What you think may be accurate to stay healthy may be a surprise to you. We are also fortunate that Dr. Nystrom and HCMC have agreed to partner with us to provide this training around our State. Dr. Nystrom cares deeply about our profession and he wants to be able to offer his expertise to our members. We are fortunate we are now able to schedule Dr. Nystrom to come visit your region or individual agency. If you are interested in this training, please let us know and we can talk about the details and design it to your needs! This spring he will visit Hermantown and hold another metro area session.

We are fortunate we are now able to schedule Dr. Nystrom to come visit your region or individual agency Dr. Paul Nystrom is an emergency room physician and Plymouth police officer currently leading a new wellness series for MCPA

Have you ever gone to training and wished that you could ask the instructor or your fellow students a follow up, post training event question? Have you ever felt like you needed some more support or a quick way to obtain helpful information on a topic? We thought so too and our Wellness training will now not just be in the classroom. We have launched an online forum on Wellness facilitated by Dr. Nystrom. We call it “The Road to Wellness”. This online forum will provide access to information on health including diet and exercise suggestions. It will provide a forum to ask questions with responses from Dr. Nystrom to help you and your Agency become healthier. It will also provide support from our many members who belong to this on line forum. Do you want to get started? Just let us know and we’ll add you! You can begin immediately gaining new insights, information and support. Just call us or e-mail us and we’ll get you started on the “Road to Wellness”. 8

Chaplainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Message

Starting Point Regardless of when you entered the law enforcement profession, we all have a beginning to our story. Maybe since childhood, policing was your dream job. Or perhaps you declared a criminal justice major during college. For some, pursuing law enforcement was a career change. At some point in life, you all chose this path of public service as a police officer.

TONY PAETZNICK CHAPLAIN DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC SAFETY NEW BRIGHTON

From the start, achieving POST Board licensure required focus and dedication. Depending on academic transcripts, some applied themselves more diligently to post-secondary studies. For others, the physical requirements of law enforcement skills training were perhaps the more challenging aspects of the program. Yet everyone serving as a sworn peace officer in the State of Minnesota at some point successfully passed a licensing exam earning them eligibility for hire with a law enforcement agency.

Spirituality often grows as a result of opposing forces, when challenging circumstances or difficult situations lead to greater functioning of the soul. But the starting point for our policing careers was only the beginning of a lifelong commitment to readiness for the profession. As law enforcement veterans, police chiefs understand the importance of constantly devoting ourselves to enhancing individual policing competencies. Maintaining our proficiencies as police officers and leaders within the profession requires continued learning and exercising of skills. Just like the beginning of our policing stories, it requires choice and intentionality. Similarly, nobody drifts towards health. Improving physical, mental, or spiritual wellness requires effort and deliberate practice. Even the simplest law of gravity acts contrary to the human body. The gravitational pull of the earth works in opposition to the strengthening of muscles but such resistance allows for growth. There is no quick-fix remedy or magical pill to increase physical capacity. In the same manner, spiritual health does not readily appear with the snap of your fingers or a genie-in-a-lamp approach. Rather, it takes commitment and intention. Just like physical agility and mental acuity require focus and attention, pursuing a higher level of spiritual performance is a purposeful behavior. Comparable to strength training for the body, spirituality often grows as a result of opposing forces, when challenging circumstances or difficult situations lead to greater functioning of the soul.

MINNESOTA POLICE CHIEF

The good news is the place to start is right where you are at now. Irrespective of the past or negative experiences, today affords us the opportunity to begin afresh our personal journey toward health and wellness for body, mind, and soul. Are you ready to engage in some soul-work? For spiritual health, this could simply be reconnecting or establishing a first-time relationship with your concept of a higher power, whether through personal conversation, studying of scripture, prayer, or meditation. Accomplishing your spiritual fitness goals might require identifying an accountability partner or gathering in fellowship with others, just like having a workout buddy at the gym or reading together through a book club assures success in other pursuits of body and mind. When we commit ourselves to anything new, whether an exercise program, nutritional regimen, educational pursuit, or spiritual practice, we establish a starting point. A beginning from which there will be seasons of progress, exertion of energy, periods of replenishing rest, and times that require us to get back on track with what we had started. These naturally become the rhythms of our lives. The vision for the MCPA Chaplaincy is to have spiritual care services available for CLEOs from providers within their own communities or region of the state. In order to achieve that goal, it will take many individual and organizational starting points with police chiefs and departments across Minnesota. Please continue to engage with the MCPA Chaplain position and the association as we develop such capacity for the benefit of our members and the agencies they lead. Thanks in advance for helping with this developmental journey.

Another set of eyes in a critical incident

Another set of eyes in a critical incident Minnetonka-based Viridian Weapon Technologies says its new weapon-mounted camera provides crucial data in a use-of force incident. Police are taking a closer look. BY ANDREW WITTENBORG, MCPA DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS

For the past couple of weeks, a few Minnesota police officers have been on patrol with what some call cutting-edge weapons technology. It’s a firearm, a video camera and a flashlight all in one package. Weapon-mounted cameras (WMCs) started receiving attention late last year as the country debated both the use and performance of body-worn cameras. West Hennepin Police Chief Gary Kroells watched that debate, was aware of the technology and agreed to a pilot project for his department. “We consider this another tool on our tool belt,” Kroells says. Chief Gary Kroells West Hennepin Public Safety

The chief held public hearings, consulted with the League of Minnesota Cities and began putting WMCs in the field at the end of last year. They are in the hands of 3 of his 10 officers: a sergeant, patrol officer and member of a drug-task force. For now, Chief Kroells likes what he sees.

MINNESOTA POLICE CHIEF

The placement of a camera at the end of a weapon has been effective because it is focused where the weapon is pointed and what it is being pointed at.

“The weaponmounted camera has performed much better than I expected,” he says. “It really does capture what happens at the end of a weapon.” Documenting what happens has become the key element of use-offorce cases. The public has developed an expectation they will more often see video evidence of critical incidents. When that is not the case, as in the death of Justine Damond, it leads to questions and controversy. A Minneapolis officer fatally shot Damond last summer. She had called 911 to report suspicious activity in her neighborhood. The responding officers did not turn on their body cameras as they arrived at the scene which means there is no video account of what happened. For Brian Hedeen, the Damond case SPRING 2018

was just the latest in a string of use-of-force controversies he had watched with both concern and interest. As the founder and CEO of Viridian Weapon Technologies, he has been in the business of developing weaponmounted lights and lasers. Last year he worked on adding a camera with the belief it could capture activity other data-collection tools can miss. “It could provide a very crucial piece of evidence to show what did this officer see at that moment?” Brian Hedeen says. “I don’t think anything could give you every piece of evidence you need for every situation. But this is a tool that could help fill a gap.” The gap Hedeen and others say WMCs could fill include a range of factors. First, there is a human factor when it comes to activating body-worn cameras. In some cases, camera systems experience a delayed start, have been turned on after incident escalated or weren’t turned on at all. The Viridian technology begins recording as soon as an officer unholsters their weapon. Another factor involves the perspective of a camera. While dash cams and body-worn cameras

continue to record, they are not always pointed at the activity. That is something Kroells and his officers have already experienced. “The placement of a camera at the end of a weapon has been effective because it is focused where the weapon is pointed and what it is being pointed at,” he says. Kroells and his officers have fortunately not encountered a critical incident and he says his officers aren’t likely to draw their weapons that often. But the weapon-mounted camera system has also become a valuable training tool. It has opened eyes and ears as they have sat down to watch footage. “The video we have reviewed has been really good and the audio is amazing,” Kroells says. “The device often picks up conversation in other rooms which is helpful to document when officers must deliver commands in a difficult situation.” The quality of the flashlight is something else that has also received positive reviews. The chief also talked with the League of Minnesota Cities before West Hennepin implemented its pilot project. The department has classified WMCs as portable audio devices which means they are subject to the Minnesota law that includes requirements on the storage and access

Another set of eyes in a critical incident to data. West Hennepin’s policy allows an officer to review their WMC video prior to giving a voluntary statement in a use of force incident of death or great bodily harm if they choose. Only Kroell’s supervisors have password protected access to the system. The law enforcement market was not Viridian’s initial focus as a company. But Hedeen says his team worked hard to understand the specific needs and interests of a police officer. Viridian calls its law enforcement product FACT Duty. It weighs at just over 3 ounces, uses a 1080HD digital camera and includes a 500 lumen tactical light. The company is selling WMCs for around $500 each but promotes bigger savings when it comes to software

One of our main philosophies at this point is that this is easy to implement. and data storage costs. That may be an important factor for smaller police agencies. Weapon-mounted cameras record much less often than bodyworn cameras and would generate lower costs. But that has also led a few critics to point out that WMCs may also not capture what led officers to draw their guns or show other interactions with the public.

“One of our main philosophies at this point is that this is easy to implement,” Hedeen says. “It’s a very small amount of data relative to a body cam. So we are positioning this as a solution that will fit with whatever your existing evidence management strategy is.” Viridian estimates more than 50 law enforcement agencies around the country are evaluating or implementing its weapon-mounted camera systems. In the case of Chief Kroells and his department, the company is just down the street in Maple Plain. When the two sides met recently, they agreed to continue the project.

Minnesota Law Enforcement Torch Run

Minnesota Law Enforcement Torch Run: Building and Enhancing Community Capital BY RODNEY SEURER, POLICE CHIEF, MN LAW ENFORCEMENT TORCH RUN EXECUTIVE COUNCIL

The Minnesota Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) program was once again recognized as one of the top programs in the world in raising funds and awareness for Special Olympics Athletes. This could not be possible without community engagement, partnership with Special Olympics Minnesota, our Law Enforcement Affiliates and the support of the Commanding Law Enforcement Officers (CLEO’s) and their respective Command Staff throughout the state of Minnesota.

support and commitment to Special Olympics Minnesota and the LETR, the Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association (MCPA) was presented the official Torch at a recent MCPA Board Meeting. Accepting on behalf of the MCPA was President Chief Mike Goldstein.

The Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics is the movement’s largest grass-roots fundraiser and public awareness vehicle. At its most basic level the Torch Run is an actual running event, in which officers and athletes run the Flame of Hope to the Opening Ceremonies of local Special Olympics competitions and State and National games. Annually, more than 85,000 dedicated, compassionate and volunteer law enforcement officers participate in the torch run throughout 35 nations, 12 Canadian provinces and 50 US states, raising more than $56 Million USD for local Special Olympics programs in 2016 and over $675 Million since its inception in 1981.

The Minnesota Law Enforcement Torch Run Program was recognized as one of the top 5 programs at the International Law Enforcement Torch Run Conference held in Nashville, Tennessee.

The Minnesota Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) recently celebrated 30 years of supporting the athletes of Special Olympics Minnesota (SOMN). In recognition of the continued

Digging into Your Data

An agency’s journey to uncover the truth about bias BY MAPLEWOOD PUBLIC SAFETY DIRECTOR SCOTT NADEAU AND SGT. MIKE DUGAS, WITH RESEARCH ASSISTANCE FROM CRIME ANALYST CASSIE FISHER

Nationally, and here in Minnesota, researchers, community members, policymakers, and police are vigorously debating potential racial bias in police stops, searches and arrests. The conversation is valid and an important one. Unfortunately, it is typically based on oversimplified correlations and misleading comparisons of raw data. For example, how many times have we read something like, “In 2017, a certain police department arrested 50% people of color while their city’s demographic has only 15% people of color.” These media accounts and academic reports that compare aggregate arrests or contacts to the total population of the agency’s jurisdiction without additional information to help contextualize the numbers further perpetuates a narrative that police are exhibiting racial bias. While aggregate numbers – if accurate – can indicate a disparity, they don’t necessarily mean police are racially biased. A number of factors having nothing to do with officer bias can contribute to that aggregate disparity, including whether an officer has statutory discretion to make an arrest or the community’s age composition. In January, the Maplewood Police Department sought to analyze the agency’s 2017 arrests, stops, searches, traffic warnings, and citations. The agency published the results (a 31-page report) on the front page of the department’s website so citizens were informed of the department’s activity.

population that is mostly white, while our community’s young families and kids are growing more diverse. For example, in our senior communities and care centers, Maplewood citizens are over 90% white, while our public school children are 69% non-white. Looking at our arrest statistics we know that most of our arrests are for persons under the age of 30, so looking at demographics in total and by age helped us gain a better understanding of what disparities may look like. The analysis also examined the poverty index, especially as it relates to young people, knowing that prolonged exposure to poverty can lead to higher rates of criminality.

The findings highlighted several points that helped citizens better contextualize the aggregate data to evaluate the enforcement actions. These included:

Perhaps the most instructive demographic data point was that most people arrested or stopped didn’t live in Maplewood. Seventy-nine percent of adults and 76% of the juveniles arrested, and 84% of those stopped in a motor vehicle, did not live in our city. This has obvious implications for those who want to compare statistics against a city’s known demographic population.

DEMOGRAPHICS

SUSPECT AND VICTIM SAMPLING

With U.S. Census numbers being eight years old, we needed a better snapshot of our community’s demographics. We worked with the area’s school district and community partners. Our community has an aging and elderly 18

The analysis also examined suspect and victim demographics (I.E. for whom our officers are being told to look.) We reviewed key crimes where suspect and victim race and sex were generally a known in disorderly MINNESOTA POLICE CHIEF

conduct, robbery, and warrant arrests without other charges. We found persons of color were overrepresented in all categories, with robberies having the highest disproportional rate. Our victim rate also showed disproportionalities with Blacks being victimized significantly more than their reported percentage of the population, which was thought to be about 34% overall.

DISCRETIONARY VERSUS NON-DISCRETIONARY ARRESTS When people hear that a police agency arrested a disproportionate number of citizens from a particular group, there is a tendency to believe that the officers have wide discretion in whom they arrest. Those of us in policing know otherwise, but often do not take the time to quantify those arrests as discretionary and non-discretionary, to see how officer discretion may be a factor. For example, since Maplewood has a large retail base, about 1/3 of our arrests are for theft/shoplifting; the officer dispatched to that call has very little discretion in the arrest process so long as probable cause can be established.

study, we looked at the crimes that required an officer, by law or our department policy, to arrest an individual versus situations where an officer had arrest discretion. Crimes such as domestic abuse with signs of injury or a shoplifter being held by store security were classified as non-discretionary. Crimes such as officer observing disorderly conduct, drunk driving, or trespassing were classified as discretionary. As you can see in the following graphs, when the officers had discretion they arrested people of color at much lower rates than when they were mandated by statute or department policy. Our study did not examine the reasons for the higher arrest rates in non-discretionary situations, such as economics, a higher degree of criminality, or potential bias of those who called police, as we lacked the data and expertise to do so. Looking at the data this way illustrates that when our officers had the discretion they stopped and arrested people of color at a rate that 19

was more consistent with their representation in our community. We think that is an important distinction for our community to understand, and helps to provide some context for our public as they try to understand our enforcement.

CONCLUSION

POLICE DEPARTMENTS IDENTIFY WITH IDENTISYS™ • Photo ID Systems • Access Control • Card Personalization • Cards & Accessories • Visitor Management • Asset Tracking • Accountability Systems

Don’t be afraid of collecting information on stops, searches, and arrests, it's just information. Once we know and understand the information we can begin to examine, sort, and contextualize the wide variety of factors involved. We owe it to our community as a condition of our license to operate, which they hold to be transparent, honest and open to all conversations. By doing so, we at Maplewood truly believe we are building community trust, leading to more community engagement and a better overall life for our citizens.

The fair and impartial policing perspective reflects a new way of thinking about the issue of biased policing. It is based on the science of bias, which tells us that biased policing is not, as some contend, due to widespread racism in policing. In fact, the science tells us that even well-intentioned humans (and thus, officers) have biases which can occur outside of conscious awareness.

Increasing Trust through Character-based Hiring DECC FRENCH RIVER ROOM

Community trust is a prerequisite to successful policing. When the community perceives that the values and character of police officers are aligned with their own, they develop a shared sense of right and wrong and increase their level of support for law enforcement. Researchers have observed the correlation between character-based police officer selection and public engagement shows promise and would like to validate the outcomes to spur the development of a model that can be replicated in other communities.

A City Perspective on the Philando Castile Case DECC LAKE SUPERIOR ROOM L/M

The resulting investigation, Facebook live video of the aftermath of the confrontation, civil unrest and political turmoil also had a significant impact on law enforcement and local government.

When police officers use deadly force, the tragic incident impacts more than just the officers and families involved. The high-profile nature of such an event affects an entire community. This session will provide city managers and administrators a better understanding of the intricacies and anatomy of an officer-involved shooting.

Technologies like body-worn cameras (BWC) and automated license plate readers (ALPRs) have brought about noticeable changes to local law enforcement.

As more departments implement programs and audits are due to be scheduled, there are questions about what needs to be audited, the costs of an audit and who is qualified to perform an audit.

A Supreme Court ruling dating back to the 1960s is having a big impact on law enforcement discipline cases. Known as the Brady ruling, prosecutors are required to notify defendants and their attorneys whenever a law enforcement official involved in their case has a substantiated record of intentional lying or falsification in their official capacity. However, despite the half-century since the Brady decision, the concept of Brady lists is of more recent vintage. This session will explore the challenges around this controversial issue from the perspectives of both management and labor.
