THE FEE CONTRACT FOR THE TRAFFIC CAMERA PILOT WE'RE DOING THIS YEAR. I'M TRYING TO FIND WHICH NUMBER IT IS. AND THE SECOND ONE IS NUMBER 19, THE CONTRACT WITH TOUCH OUTREACH FOR EMERGENCY RESPONSE SERVICES.
>> WONDERFUL. I BELIEVE THE TRAFFIC CAMERA ITEM IS ITEM NUMBER SEVEN. SO COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN WOULD LIKE TO PULL ITEM NUMBER SEVEN AND 19 FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION. I'M NOT SEEING ANYONE IN QUEUE. I'D LIKE TO
PULL FOR A SEPARATE VOTE TOGETHER ITEMS NUMBER 24, 25, 27, AND 28. AND WE CAN TAKE UP ALL FOUR OF THOSE TOGETHER. OKAY. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF
ITEM 7, 19, 24, 25, 27, AND 28, UMM, SEEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR -- MOVE APPROVAL OF THE CONSENT AGENDA. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE.
OPPOSED SAY NAY. ANY ABSTENTIONS? THE AYES HAVE IT AND THAT MOTION CARRIES. AND I DON'T HAVE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON 24, 25, 27, 28, SO IF WE CAN CALL THE ROLL ON THOSE FOUR ITEMS. THEN WE'LL MOVE TO
THE OTHER TWO. > COUNCILMEMBER ELLISON. >> YEAH. JUST WANTED TO MAKE A FEW COMMENTS HERE. JUST BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S BEEN AWHILE. THESE HAVE BEEN ON OUR AGENDA FOR A LONG TIME. SETTLEMENTS FROM THE
LAW FIRM SPECIFICALLY. AND I JUST WANTED TO -- I GUESS, SAY A LOUD. MAYBE TO STAFF OR THE COMMITTEE. I THINK WE SHOULD GET AN UPDATE ON SORT OF HOW THINGS -- I KNOW WE'VE CHALLENGED A COUPLE OF THESE OVER THE YEARS. THESE BEING,
YOU KNOW, THE WORKERS' COMPENSATION FOR PTSD. WE DON'T KNOW FOR A FACT THAT'S WHAT EACH ONE OF THESE ARE. BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S -- YEAH. IF YOU FOLLOW CITY COUNCIL, YOU KNOW WE'VE BEEN HAVING DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THESE FOR A LONG TIME.
UMM, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS I KNOW THESE HAVE COST THE CITY A LOT OF MONEY. I KNOW THEY'RE A STATE LAW THAT MADE THIS KIND OF AN OPEN SEASON. NOT JUST US BUT CITIES ACROSS THE STATE. AND I KNOW THERE WAS AN EFFORT TO MAKE SOME STATE LAW CHANGES THAT
COULD HOPEFULLY PROTECT CITIES OVER THE YEARS. AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK THE POLICIES DIDN'T REALLY DO THAT. AND SO I'D LOVE TO THE EXTENT WE CAN, TO TALK ABOUT THESE. AND AT LEAST GET
AN UPDATE HOW MUCH THESE COST TAXPAYERS. YOU KNOW, HOW -- WHAT THE STATUS WAS. I DON'T KNOW IF WE GOT A REPORT BACK ABOUT SOME OF THE ONES WE'VE DENIED AND HOW WE FARED IN THOSE. I'M GOING TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THESE. I THINK, YOU KNOW, AS A FIDUCIARY OF THE
CITY, THIS IS A CHEAPEST WAY OUT OF THE SITUATIONS. I'LL ENCOURAGE MY COLLEAGUES TO DO THE SAME. NOT ALL OF US AGREE. BUT I DO THINK IT'S WORTHY OF A CONVERSATION. AND AN UPDATE ON HOW THINGS HAVE GONE AS WE'VE
CHALLENGED A FEW OF THESE. SO, AGAIN, NOT EXPECTING THAT RIGHT THIS SECOND. BUT I WANTED TO PUT IT OUT INTO THE AIR. AND TO REMIND PEOPLE WATCHING WHO ARE GOING TO SEEP A SPLIT -- WHO MAY SEE A SPLIT VOTE ON THESE, WHY THE SPLIT VOTE OCCURS AND WHAT THIS DISCUSSION IS ABOUT.
>> THANK YOU. THAT'S A GREAT FLAG, COUNCILMEMBER. HAPPY TO REACH OUT TO THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND OUR RISK MANAGEMENT TEAM TO SEE IF IT'S POSSIBLE FOR US TO SQUEEZE IN, PERHAPS, A CLOSED SESSION BRIEFING ON THESE
CLAIMS. SINCE WE HAD A PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL LIST COME BEFORE THE BODY THIS CYCLE. COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN. >> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. AND WHILE WE'RE ON THE TOPIC, I HAD A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FOR THE ATTORNEY ON THESE, IF YOU KNOW
WHETHER ANY OF THESE CLAIMS -- THESE PTSD CLAIMS ARE OFFICERS THAT ARE STILL ON THE FORCE OR IF THEY'RE ALL OFFICERS WHO ARE NO LONGER WITH MPD. >> COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN, I DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION. I DON'T KNOW IF OUR RISK MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR IS AROUND.
HE'S THE ONE WHO WOULD HAVE THAT INFORMATION. >> I WOULD ALSO OFFER THAT WE NOT HAVE THAT DISCUSSION IN A PUBLIC FORUM. JUST BECAUSE OF THE RISK ASSOCIATED WITH HAVING -- DISCUSSING THESE IN INDIVIDUAL CASES. >> OKAY. WELL, I'LL WAIT FOR THAT CLOSED SESSION THEN TO TALK
ABOUT THAT. >> EXCELLENT THANK YOU. NO FURTHER DISCUSSIONS ON ITEMS 24, 25, 27, AND 28. I'LL ASK THE CLERK TO CALL THE ROLL. >> >> COUNCILMEMBER VETAW. >> AYE. >> ELLISON. >> AYE. >> C CASHMAN.
>> AYE. >> CHUGHTAI. >> NAY. >> THAT MOTION CARRIES. AND NOW WE'LL MOVE TO ITEM NUMBER 7, COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN, I SEE MR. FAWLEY IS HERE IN THE AUDIENCE. IF YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND ASK
ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE. >> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. YES. ABOUT SPEED AND RED LIGHT CAMERA CONTRACT WE'RE AUTHORIZING. I'M GLAD TO SEE IT MOVING FORWARD. CONGRATULATIONS TO GETTING TO THIS POINT. I BELIEVE THAT WE'RE STILL ON
TRACK TO HAVE THE PILOT STARTING IN AUGUST, IS THAT CORRECT? >> CHAIR CHUGHTAI, COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN, MY NAME IS ETHAN FOLEY, MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC WORKS. WE ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING AT LAUNCHING THE PILOT FOR SPEED CAMERAS IN SEPTEMBER. AND THIS
CONTRACT WOULD ALLOW US TO MOVE FORWARD ON THAT TIMELINE OF SEPTEMBER. >> THANKS. MY QUESTION IS WHY WE'RE AUTHORIZING A CONTRACT FOR $12 MILLION FOR A FOUR-YEAR FOR FOUR YEARS WHEN WE'RE INTENDING FOR THIS TO BE A ONE-YEAR PILOT
TO LOOK AT THE RESULTS. >> CHAIR CHUGHTAI, COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN, SO THE OVERALL PROGRAM IS A FOUR-YEAR PILOT PROGRAM. >> OKAY. >> AND SO THAT'S WHERE WE'VE BEEN WORKING TOWARD AND AUTHORIZED FOR AND WHAT THE CONTRACT WOULD SUPPORT. AT THE SAME TIME, IF WE WERE -- THE
CONTRACT UP TO AMOUNT HERE IS DETERMINED BASED ON THE TOTAL NUMBER OF CAMERAS THAT ARE ACTIVE THROUGH THE PILOT PERIOD. IN OUR INITIAL LAUNCH, IT'S NOT GOING LIKE WE EXPECTED, THEN WE WOULDN'T EXPAND THIS QUICKLY AND
CERTAINLY WOULDN'T USE ALL OF THAT. AND WE CAN POTENTIALLY EVEN USE MUCH, MUCH LESS. >> OKAY. THAT IS THE MAXIMUM FOR THE FOUR YEARS THAT COULD BE SPENT? >> YES. >> AND I THINK IF I'M REMEMBERING CORRECTLY, THE BUDGET FOR THIS YEAR WAS $1.8 MILLION, IS THAT CORRECT? >> A LITTLE OVER $1
$1 MILLION THIS YEAR. AND THEN $1.8 MILLION NEXT YEAR. >> OKAY. >> NOW RCA WE TALK ABOUT THERE WILL BE REVENUE COMING IN THROUGH CITATIONS PAID THROUGH THE PROGRAM. WE ANTICIPATE STARTING IN 2026. THAT WILL START TO COVER THE OPERATIONS.
THE CONTRACTS AND OPERATIONAL COSTS WE'LL HAVE FOR THE TRAFFIC CAMERA PROGRAM. WE DON'T KNOW THE DETAILS EXACTLY. WE HAVEN'T BUDGETING YET. BECAUSE SOME OF THAT DEPENDENT ON A LOT OF VARIABLES WE DON'T KNOW HOW PEOPLE WILL RESPOND, FOR EXAMPLE. WE HOPE THAT WE'LL GET
CLOSER TO WHAT THE BEST CASES WE'VE SEEN OTHER COMMUNITIES. ALMOST NO ONE IS SPEEDING ANYMORE AND THAT'S OUR GOAL. AND THERE WOULD BE LESS REVENUE AND HAVE THE CONVERSATION, DOWN THE ROAD. IF THAT IS NECESSARY. >> THANKS FOR ANSWERING MY
QUESTIONS. WE'LL MOVE THE ITEM FOR APPROVAL. >> UMM, NO FURTHER DISCUSSION ON ITEM NUMBER 7. IT'S BEEN MOVED FOR APPROVAL BY COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN. IS THERE A SECOND ON THAT? >> SECOND. >> SECOND. >> WONDERFUL. CLERK, CALL THE
ROLL. >> COUNCILMEMBER VETAW. >> AYE. >> ELLISON. >> AYE. >> CASHMAN. >> AYE. >> CHUGHTAI. >> AYE. >> FOUR AYES. >> THAT MOTION CARRIES. AND THEN WE'LL TAKE UP THE FINAL CONSENT ITEM. NUMBER 19. WHICH
IS CONTRACT AMENDMENT WITH TOUCH OUTREACH RELATED TO MINNEAPOLIS STRATEGIC INITIATIVE. I SEE THE NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR IS HERE. AND SO IF YOU'LL, FIRST, BEGIN WITH INTRODUCING YOURSELF AND JUST SHARING SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THIS ITEM.
AND I BELIEVE COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN HAS SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU. >> THANK YOU, CHUGHTAI. AMANDA HARRINGTON. DIRECTOR OF NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY. WE ARE ASKING TO AMEND THE TOUCH OUTREACH CONTRACT IN THE AMOUNT OF 87,658.69. THE INCREASE IS
DUE TO NEEDING TO PAY THEM FOR WORK THEY HAD DONE DURING THE DOWNTOWN EMERGENCY WORK. WE DID A SIMILAR AMENDMENT WITH RESTORATION INC. WE HAD HOPED THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO PAY THEM OUT OF THE CONTRACT. AND THEN IT TURNED OUT THAT WHEN WE SETTLED THE FINAL BILL, THERE
WAS AN AMOUNT REMAINING. SO WE'RE BEFORE THE COUNCIL TODAY TO ASK FOR AN AMENDMENT. SO THAT WE CAN PAY FOR THE SERVICES THAT WERE PROVIDED. >> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN, ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM YOU? >> THIS DOES HELP ANSWER MY QUESTION. BECAUSE AS I RECALL,
THIS WAS A REQUEST MADE BY MPD WHEN A JUVENILE WAS KILLED AT FIFTH AND HENNEPIN, MY WARD LAST SUMMER, FOR ADDITIONAL SUPPORT TO BE ON THE GROUND. SO THIS IS RETROACTIVELY COVERING THAT SERVICE? IS THAT CORRECT? >> THAT IS CORRECT. THROUGH THE CHAIR, WE WERE, AGAIN, HOPING
THAT THE AMOUNT WOULD BE ABLE TO BE COVERED BY THE ENTIRETY OF THEIR CONTRACT. AND BECAUSE IT DIDN'T, WE WANT TO RENDER PAYMENT FOR SERVICES THAT THEY PROVIDED DURING THAT WINTER. >> UH-HUH. OKAY. WELL, THAT ANSWERS MY QUESTION HERE. I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO
HAVE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT MORE STRATEGIC BALANCING REVENUE SERVICES. ESPECIALLY THE NEW SERVICE PROVIDER POOL COMING FORWARD TODAY. SO LOOK FORWARD TO TALKING ABOUT HOW THOSE SERVICES ARE STILL GOING TO BE REACHING ALL THE AREAS WE HAVE IDENTIFIED NOW BY K CURE
VIOLENCE AND PLACES WE NEED THEM. THANKS. >> NOT SEEING ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION. ON APPROVAL OF ITEM NUMBER 19, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR CAN SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE. OPPOSED SAY NAY. ANY ABSTENTIONS? THE AYES HAVE IT
AND THAT MOTION CARRIES. ALL RIGHT. OUR FINAL ITEM BEFORE US TODAY IS A PRESENTATION RELATING TO A LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE COUNCIL PREVIOUSLY APPROVED REQUESTING INFORMATION ON THE POLICE DEPARTMENT'S OPERATIONS RELATED TO THE CITY'S SEPARATION
ORDINANCE. I WILL INVITE ASSISTANT CHIEF CHRIS GATORS TO COME UP AND BEGIN YOUR PRESENTATION. WELCOME.
>> THANK YOU. >> GOOD AFTERNOON VICE PRESIDENT AND CHAIR TODAY, AS WELL AS OTHER COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND COUNCILMEMBERS PRESENT. I'M
CHRIS GAITERS. ASSISTANT CHIEF OF MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT. AND I'VE BEEN ASKED TO PRESENT TO YOU A PRESENTATION FOR THE LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE THAT WAS SENT OUT WITH A REQUEST ON SEPARATION ORDINANCE FOR THE
MPD AND IMPLEMENTATION AND OPERATIONS. SO TODAY I'LL QUICKLY COVER FROM THE HIGH-LEVEL AND IF THERE ARE QUESTIONS, FEEL FREE TO ASK. THE AGENDA ON THE PRESENTATION IS A REVIEW OF LEGISLATIVE
DIRECTIVE TRAININGOVER VIEW AND EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS, OPERATIONAL SAFE GUARDS, POLICY VIOLATIONS, AND DISCIPLINARY PROCESS, COMMUNICATION AND CONSEQUENCES, BARRIERS AND COMPLIANCE, UPCOMING CHANGES AND
PHYSICAL IMPACT AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. THIS SLIDE IS MERELY THE LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE AND THE REQUEST WITHIN. AND AS FAR AS THE TRAIN TRAINING
OVERVIEW, OUR ACADEMY PROVIDES EXPLICIT TRAINING WHEN IT COMES TO THE CITY'S SEPARATION ORDINANCE AND OUR POLICY NUMBER 4940 -- THIS INCLUDES DISCUSSION
AND PERMISSIBLE AND PROHIBITED ACTIONS REGARDING IMMIGRATION AND ENFORCEMENT AND THE NARROW LEGAL EXCEPTIONS THAT ARE UNDER THE POLICY, AS WELL. IT ALSO
DEALS WITH THE VISA, WHICH MANY PEOPLE ARE SIMILAR WITH ON THE SLIDE. YOU SEE U AND T VISA EDUCATION. THE T IS FOR TRAFFICKING. RECRUITS AND OFFICERS RECEIVE EDUCATION FROM THE MPD REGARDING THIS
CERTIFICATION PROCESS. AND HOW IT GOES ABOUT AND WHY IT'S PRESENTED. AND REINFORCING THE DEPARTMENT'S COMMITMENT TO SUPPORT IMMIGRANT CRIME VICTIMS AND WITNESSES TO CRIMES
INVOLVING THOSE INDIVIDUALS. SPECIALIZED ENGAGEMENT TAKES PLACE, AS WELL, WITH COMMUNITY FUNCTIONS. THE ENGAGEMENTS ARE ADDITIONAL TRAINING AS FAR AS OUR LATINO COMMUNITY. WE HAVE BROUGHT BACK THE CHIEF BROUGHT
BACK THE COMMUNITY ACADEMIES TO EDUCATE INDIVIDUALS ON HOW THE INTERACTIONS WITH POLICE OFFICERS MAY TAKE PLACE, LAWS WITHIN OUR STATE, ORDINANCES WITHIN OUR CITY. AND WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO MANY DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES AND SINCE WE HAVE DONE THAT, HAVE RECEIVED MANY
REQUESTS FROM ALL COMMUNITIES WITHIN MINNEAPOLIS WANTING THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL ACADEMIES FOR THEIR SPECIFIC AND RESPECTED COMMUNITY. AND IN THE BIG PICTURE, WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT YOU
SAY "WHY CAN'T WE DO IT A ONE-STOP-SHOP?" THERE ARE MANY REQUESTS THAT SPECIFICALLY ARE CONCERNS AND CHALLENGES WITHIN SPECIFIC COMMUNITIES. AND THEY WANTED TO HAVE THEIR OWN ACADEMIES AND THE CHIEF HAS ACCOMMODATED THEM WITH THAT.
AS FAR AS THE EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS, OUR OFFICERS GET UPDA ENFORCEMENTION POLICIES. THEY RECEIVED AN UPDATE IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR. WHICH CLEARLY LETS THEM KNOW
THAT MPD PROHIBITS OFFICERS FROM ENGAGING IN ASKING ONE'S IMMIGRATION STATUS. OR ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES. MATERIALS ARE ALSO DISTRIBUTED IN THE ACADEMY DURING OUR ROLL CALLS. ROLL CALLS ARE WHEN THE OFFICERS COME IN TO WORK A SHIFT
AND THEIR SUPERVISOR ADDRESSES ANY CONCERNS, CHALLENGES, UPDATES, AND INFORMATION THAT IS GIVEN TO THEM, AS WELL. IF THERE ARE UPDATES IN POLICIES OR CHANGES OR MERELY REITERATION OF A POLICY OR CONCERNS THAT
ADMINISTRATION OR THE CHIEF MAY HAVE MAKING SURE COMMUNICATION IS MET. AS FAR AS COMMUNITY-FACING COMMUNICATIONS. THAT INCLUDES MEDIA RELEASES, WHICH HAVE BEEN DONE EXTERNALLY, INTERNALLY THE CHIEF HIMSELF HAS
PUT OUT COMMUNICATIONS TO THE OFFICERS REMINDING THEM OF WHAT OUR POLICIES ARE. AND REENFORCING THE MPD'S STANCE TO EDUCATE AND MAKE CERTAIN THAT OUR POO POLICIES ARE KNOWN
INTERNALLY AS WELL AS EXTERNALLY TO THE COMMUNITY, AS WELL. AND WHAT THEIR POLICE DEPARTMENT IS DOING AS FAR AS IMMIGRATION AFFAIRS. AND LAW ENFORCEMENT. OUR OFFICERS ARE ALSO PROHIBITED, AS MANY KNOW, FROM
NI INITIATING STOPS, DETENTIONS, ARRESTS, SOLELY BASED ON UP WITH'S IMMIGRATION STATUS. THAT INCLUDES WARRANTS WITH I.C.E. AND CIVIL IMMIGRATION S STATUS REQUESTS BASED ON ENFORCEMENT. THAT IS AGAINST OUR SEPARATION ORDINANCE
IN THE CITY AND AS WELL AS OUR INTERNAL MPD POLICY. OFFICERS MUST DOCUMENT AND ARTICULATE EXCEPTIONAL -- EXCEPTIONS BASED ON THEIR ACTIONS. SO THERE ARE SOME EXCEPTIONS, A LOT OF TIMES IT WOULD BE SOMETHING RELATING
TO TRAFFICKING, HUMAN TRAFFICKING, WHICH IS UNFORTUNATELY IN OUR CITY, AS WELL. THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. AND SMUGGLING CASES OR IMMIGRATION STATUS MAY BE RELEVANT. THE MPD DISPATCH AND SUPERVISORS AND OUR SUPERVISORY PERSONNEL ARE ALSO TRAINED TO
RECOGNIZE AND AVOID POTENTIAL VIOLATIONS OF THE SEPARATION ORDINANCE DURING OUR FIELD OPERATIONS. AS FAR AS POLICY VIOLATIONS AND DISCIPLINARY PROCESS, ES MPD IS WORKING
ON A MATRIX. IT'S A CUMBERSOME TASK WE'VE BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH ON AND MAKING SURE VERBIAGE IS RIGHT. WITH REGARDS TO THE SEPARATION ORDINANCE, THAT WILL BE A PART OF OUR DISCIPLINE MATRIX. AND THAT'S SOMETHING ONCE IT COMESES TO FRUITION, IT HAS TO BE
APPROVED BY ELEFA AS WELL AS OUR ATTORNEY'S OFFICE WILL HAVE TO REVIEW THAT. WHEN IT'S DONE, WE'RE ANTICIPATING GETTING THAT OUT. ONCE THAT HAS BEEN COMPLETED. AS FAR AS THE
ABSENCE OF THE EXPLICIT MATRIX. IN THE INTERIM, BEFORE THIS IS COMPLETED, THESE OFFICERS ARE STILL GOING TO BE HELD TO THE SEPARATION ORDINANCE WITHIN THE CITY. ALONG WITH OUR INTERNAL POLICY. AND ANY DISCIPLINE THAT COMES FROM THAT WILL BE
PROGRESSIVE IN NATURE. IT CAN BE ANYTHING FROM A LETTER OF REPRIMAND, DEPENDING ON THE TOTALITY OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES, ALL THE WAY THROUGH A TERMINATION, ONCE THAT'S REVIEWED. COMMUNICATION OF
CONSEQUENCES. OFFICERS ARE INFORMED DURING TRAINING AND SUPERVISORY BRIEFINGS THAT VIOLATION OF THE IMMIGRATION POLICY MAY RESULT IN DISCIPLINARY ACTION, INCLUDING TERMINATION, AS MENTIONED. THE IMPORTANCE OF STRICT COMPLIANCE AND COMMUNICATION THROUGH
ONGOING INTERNAL MESSAGING AS THE CHIEF HAS DONE, AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, AS WE CONTINUE AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO IN FUTURE. MAKING CERTAIN THAT OUR CITIZENRY ARE WELL UP TO DATE WITH OUR POLICIES, POLICY CHANGES, AND GOING OUT TO MEET
THEM IN THEIR SPACE. SOME BARRIERS WE HAVE NOTICED IS SOME AMBIGUITY. WHILE THE POLICY REQUIRES DOCUMENTATION OF ANY EXCEPTIONS, IT DOES NOT YET
SPECIFY THE RESPONSIBLE PARTY FOR INITIATING THE DOCUMENTATION. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO BE WORKING ON FOR CLARIFICATION. TRAINING GAPS, AS WELL. UNDOCUMENTED STATUS ALONE, MAKING CERTAIN OUR OFFICERS UNDERSTAND THAT ITSELF IS NOT A
REASONABLE SUSPICIOUS TO ENGAGE WITH AN INDIVIDUAL, NOR IS IT PROBABLE CAUSE TO ENGAGE WITH THE INDIVIDUAL FOR A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION. EXTERNALLY MISUNDERSTANDINGS, A LOT OF TIMES WE'RE ASKED ABOUT OTHER
AGENCIES. WE OURSELVES, CHIEF O'HARA IS THE CHIEF OF MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT. HE DOES NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO OVERSEE OTHER DEPARTMENTS THROUGHOUT THE METRO OR THROUGHOUT THE STATE. THEY DO HAVE THEIR OWN POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. HOWEVER, WE'RE
GOVERNED BY OUR OWN AND THAT'S SOMETHING I THINK MANY OF YOU ARE WELL AWARE OF AND MENTIONED IN THE PRESENTATION ON HOW WE CONDUCT OURSELVES WITH IMMIGRANT AND REFUGEE ENGAGEMENT. UPCOMING CHANGES AND PHYSICAL IMPACTS. ONCE AGAIN, CLARIFYING
THAT OUR POLICY FURTHER UPDATES THE DISCIPLINE MATRIX THAT WE WILL BE DOING AND CONTINUING TO DO. ALONG WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. WITH THEIR GUIDANCE. WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT THE TECHNOLOGY PIECE. YOU KNOW, A LOT OF OUR DATA THAT IS
AVAILABLE IN OUR RECORD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, WE HAVE TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO PULL OUT THE DATA THAT ARE SIGNIFICANT SO WE CAN ACTUALLY LOOK IN AND LOOK AT THE INFORMATION WITHIN THE DATA AND ANALYZE THE INFORMATION. TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT WE'RE
REMAINING COMPLIANT. MAKING CERTAIN THAT WE HAVE THE ABILITY. AND IF WE DON'T, LOOKING AT PROGRAMS THAT MAY ASSIST US WITH THAT, IF THAT CONTINUES. THE MPD CONTINUES ITS PRO ACTIVE ENGAGEMENT
EFFORTS WITH IMMIGRANT AND REFUGEE COMMUNITIES. OUR LEADERSHIP, ALONG WITH OUR OFFICERS ON THE DEPARTMENT CONTINUE TO WORK WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS. WE ALSO ARE NOT ONLY LOOKING EXTERNALLY. WE'RE LOOKING INTERNALLY THROUGH OUR
OWN ECOSYSTEM. WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF IMMIGRANT AND REFE REFUGEE AFFAIRS. WITH THE DIRECTOR MICHELLE BY ATTENDING BIWEEKLY MEETINGS, WHEN ABLE, AND ENGAGING ON
DIALOGUE ON HOW BEST TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITIES FOR IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES IN OUR COMMUNITY. WITH REGARDS TO THE ENFORCEMENT, WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, AND TRYING TO GET THE INFORMATION OUT ON WHAT WE DO AND DO NOT ENGAGE IN WHEN IT COMES TO IMMIGRANT AFFAIRS. THAT ITSELF
CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION. JUST WANT TO THANK YOU GUYS FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY. AND DEFINITELY WELCOME ENGAGEMENT FROM YOU, AS YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN ENGAGING WITH US AND GIVING US YOUR IDEAS OF HOW, YOU KNOW, OUR DEPARTMENT SHOULD MOVE FORWARD
WITH THIS AND HOW WE SHOULD ENGAGE WITH OUR IMMIGRANT AND REFUGEE COMMUNITIES. AND THE CHIEF IS AWARE OF IT. AND WE'RE DEFINITELY MAKING CERTAIN WITH TENACITY THAT WE'RE ENGAGED IN THE PROPER WAY AND MAKING CERTAIN NO ONE IS VICTIMIZED
WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH REGARDS TO THE IMMIGRANT STATUS. SO I WILL TAKE ON ANY QUESTIONS, IF YOU HAVE ANY, FOR ME. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION, ASSISTANT CHIEF. COLLEAGUES, ANY QUESTIONS OR
DISCUSSION RELATED TO THIS PRESENTATION? I'LL FIRST RECOGNIZE COUNCILMEMBER CHAVEZ. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHUGHTAI. AND THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. I HAVE A FEW. I'VE BEEN READING OVER THE MPD'S POLICY MANUAL. I THINK ONE OF THEM TALKS ABOUT THE MEMBERS
SHALL ONLY INITIATE THE ACTIONS ABOVE WHEN SPECIFICALLY ENFORCING LAWS RELATING TO HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND SMUGGLING OR IMMIGRATION STATUS IS AN ELEMENT OF THE CRIMES. AND THAT'S TALKING ABOUT PART OF THE SEPARATION ORDINANCE. I THINK MY QUESTION HERE IS HOW WOULD
MPD APPROACH INSTANCES THAT BEGAN WITH HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND SMUGGLING BUT END WITH IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT, PARTICULARLY TAKING PEOPLE AS COLLATERAL DAMAGE. SO I GUESS I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR HOW MPD WOULD
APPROACH THE INSTANCES IN THE FUTURE. >> THANK YOU. GREAT QUESTIONS ASKED BY MANY PEOPLE. AS FAR AS THE CHIEF AND THE CHIEF'S GUIDANCE HE'S GIVEN IS THAT WHEN SOMETHING GETS TO THE POINT WHERE THERE MAY BE A THIN LINE.
YOU'RE MAYBE OPERATING IN THE RIGHTFUL CAPACITY OF ENGAGING IN LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND IT MAY TURN A CORNER. I BELIEVE THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SPEAKING ABOUT. AND OUR OFFICERS ARE TO DISENGAGE. CONTACT A SUPERVISOR. AND THAT
SUPERVISOR RUNS IT UP TO THE CHIEF OR THE CHIEF ON WHETHER OR NOT THEY'LL CONTINUE TO ENGAGE ANY ACTIVITY. AS YOU HEARD FROM THE CHIEF, WE HAVE NO INTEREST
IN ENGAGING IN ACTIVITIES THAT CONCERN ENFORCEMENT OF IMMIGRATION STATUS. IF IT DOES TURN THAT CORNER, THEN OUR OFFICERS HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED THAT THEY ARE TO ENGAGE WITH THEIR SUPERVISOR AND THAT WILL BE IMMEDIATELY RUN UP THE CHAIN OF
COMMAND BEFORE ANY FURTHER ACTIONS WILL TAKE PLACE. >> THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE, UMM, YOUR RESPONSE. I THINK ANOTHER QUESTION, AGAIN, I'M LOOKING THROUGH THE POLICY MANUAL. IT TALKS ABOUT NOTHING IN THE POLICY SHALL PROHIBIT
MEMBERS FROM HAY CYSTING FEDERAL LAW OFFICERS IN INVESTIGATION OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. INVOLVING PEOPLE PRESENT IN THE UNITED STATES WHO MAY BE IN VIOLATION OF FEDERAL, CIVIL IMMIGRATION LAWS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS ORDINANCE. I THINK I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR
EXAMPLES OF THAT INSTANCE. BECAUSE I THINK THE FEDERAL ADMINISTRATION WOULD CONSIDER ANY UNDOCUMENTED PERSON AS A QUOTE, UNQUOTE, CRIMINAL. THAT WOULD ALSO CONSIDER SOMEONE COMING TO THE UNITED STATES AS AN UNDOCUMENTED PERSON AS VIOLATING FEDERAL IMMIGRATION
LAW. SO I JUST WANT TO GET MORE SPECIFICS ON WHAT THAT PART MEANS IN THE MPD POLICY WHEN IT COMES TO THIS INSTANCE. LIKE, WHO -- UMM, WHAT DOES MPD
INTERPRET AS A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL IMMIGRATION LAW AND WHAT INSTANCES WOULD MPD ASSIST? >> THANK YOU, CHAIR, COUNCILMEMBER. IF I'M FOLLOWING YOU CORRECTLY, I THINK THE BEST
EXAMPLE I CAN GIVE THAT WOULD BE MOST CONGRUENT WITH THE POLICY WOULD BE IF THERE WERE A DETAINER OR WARRANT ISSUED BY, SAY, A FEDERAL ENTITY. AND OFFICERS HAPPEN TO -- THIS IS
HYPOTHETICAL. HAPPEN TO PULL SOMEONE OVER AND SEE ON THEIR COMPUTER WITHIN THEIR CAR THERE IS A WARRANT. AND IT'S SPECIFIC TO IMMIGRATION STATUS. THAT OUR OFFICERS ARE NOT TO COMPLY OR ENGAGE WITH THAT ACTIVITY IN A
FURTHER. AND THAT, AT THAT POINT, IT WOULD CEASE. IF I'M UNDERSTANDING YOUR QUESTION. >> YES. FOR SURE. SO IN THAT INSTANCE, MPD COULD POSSIBLY OP SOMEONE. IN THE RECORD IT SHOWS THEY'RE VIOLATING FEDERAL IMMIGRATION LAW BUT NOTHING ELSE. AND THEN THAT FEDERAL
IMMIGRATION LAW MAY BE COMING TO THE COUNTRY AS AN UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANT. MPD WOULD NOT ASSIST OR COOPERATE WITH I.C.E., IS WHAT I'M HEARING. >> YEAH. OUR PIECE WOULD BE IT'S A VIOLATION OF OUR POLICY. WE DON'T ENFORCE FEDERAL LAWS.
WE ENFORCE STATE LAWS. AND CITY ORDINANCES. >> THANK YOU. AND THEN I HAVE TWO OTHER QUESTIONS. AND THEN I'LL BE DONE. UMM, I THINK IN THE PRESENTATION, IT TALKS ABOUT THE DISCIPLINE MATRIX BEING UNDER REVISION. DO YOU KNOW IF THE REVISIONS -- ONE OF THE
REVISIONS GOING TO COME BACK AS APPROVED? AND THEN DO ANY OF THE NEW REVISIONS ANY COMPONENT WHEN IT COMES TO IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT OR IMMIGRATION AND ANY VIOLATIONS ON THAT? >> CHAIR, COUNCILMEMBER, ANOTHER
GREAT QUESTION. YES. TO BOTH. THE MATRIX, ALONG WITH WHEN IT'S GOING TO BE APPROVED, THERE'S A TIMELINE IN DECEMBER. AS FAR AS THE ANTICIPATED APPROVAL TIME THAT I CAN COME
BEFORE AND TRANSPARENTLY SPEAKING. WE COULD ASK FOR AN EXTENSION, AS WELL. MY UNDERSTANDING, AS OF THIS MORNING, THEY'RE ON PACE. DIALOGUE IS TAKING PLACE. AND THE EXPECTATION IS THAT THERE WILL BE VERBIAGE WITHIN
ADDRESSING THE SEPARATION ORDINANCE, AS WELL AS TRYING TO GET THAT TIMELINE MET. WE'RE ANTICIPATING THAT TIME LINE WILL BE MET US OF TODAY. >> YOU SAID DECEMBER? >> DECEMBER. AND I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE. >> THIS YEAR. COOL. THANK YOU.
AND THE LAST QUESTION I HAVE, WHEN IT COMES TO PLAQUES THAT USED TO EXIST MPD UNMARKED CARS. THEY TALK ABOUT "KNOW YOUR RIGHTS" PARTICULARLY FOR THE IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY. I BELIEVE THESE USED TO EXIST OR CURRENTLY EXIST. I'M TRYING TO GET A
SPECIFIC ANSWER ON THIS. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY OF THESE "KNOW YOUR RIGHTS" I BELIEVE THEY USED TO EXIST IN MPD SQUAD CARS. HOW MANY WE HAVE CURRENTLY? I KNOW THERE WAS HUNDREDS BEFORE. SO I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, DO THEY STILL EXIST? HOW MANY DO WE
HAVE? CAN WE GET THE INFORMATION? >> YEAH. I'LL HAVE TO GET BACK TO YOU ON ALL THREE QUESTIONS. AS FAR AS HOW MANY WE HAVE, I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT NUMBER. AS FAR AS THEM BEING AVAILABLE IN
THE SQUAD CARS, I BELIEVE SO. I WILL DEFINITELY CHECK FOR YOU. AND GET THAT BACK TO YOU. >> THANK YOU SO CHAIR CHUGHTAI, IF WE CAN GET THAT FOR ADMINISTRATIVE FOLLOW UP. >> CLERKS, DID WE CATCH THAT? KNOW YOUR RIGHTS PLAQUES IN MPD
VEHICLES. WHETHER IT'S SOMETHING THAT EXISTS, HOW MANY, AND JUST FURTHER FOLLOW UP INFORMATION. >> THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER CHOWDHURY. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHUGHTAI.
THANK YOU FOR PRESENTING -- >> COUNCILMEMBER, IF WE JUST WANT TO MOVE YOUR MIC, SO WE CAN PICK UP WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. >> HOW'S THAT? >> GOOD. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING TO COMMITTEE AND, ALSO, THANK YOU, UMM, CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE FOR LETTING US
COME IN AND ASK O SOME QUESTIONS. IN THE PRESENTATION THAT YOU GAVE, YOU CITED DOCUMENTATION AMBIGUITY. UMM, COULD YOU SPEAK A LITTLE BIT MORE TO THAT? IS THAT ABOUT THE SECTION WITHIN THE SEPARATION
ORDINANCE? WHERE IT SAYS, "ALL SUCH USE OF CITY PUBLIC SAFETY PERSONNEL UNDER THE SEPARATION ORDINANCE SHALL BE DOCUMENTED, INCLUDING ANY APPLICABLE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY MISSION STATEMENT." >> I'M GOING TO TAKE A SECOND TO
READ THIS REAL QUICK, PLEASE. >> OKAY. THE WAY I UNDERSTAND IT, CHAIR, COUNCILMEMBER, IS BY
UNDERSTANDING WHO WOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE AND RESPONSIBLE WHEN THE ACTIONS ARE TAKEN. I LOOK MORE SO INTERNALLY. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOES NOT HAVE A PLAY OR SAY IN OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT,
AS FAR AS THIS SPECIFIC -- THESE SPECIFIC ITEMS AS FAR AS WHAT WE DO WITH THE IMMIGRATION. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT IS DONE BY THE POLICE CHIEF HIMSELF. HOWEVER, MAKING CERTAIN, AS I READ, THAT WHEN INITIATING ENFORCEMENT OR
INITIATING ANY CONTACT OR DIALOGUE THAT THE DOCUMENTATION IS DOCUMENTED BY THE APPROPRIATE PERSON. INTERNALLY. AND THAT PERSON IS BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE. AS I SPOKE EARLIER, IF I'M UNDERSTANDING IT CORRECTLY. THAT A SUPERVISOR,
IF WE KIND OF TURN THAT CORNER INTO ANOTHER AREA, A SUPERVISOR WOULD BE NOTIFIED AND THEN IT WOULD GO UP THROUGH THE CHIEF OR THE CHIEF'S DESIGNEE. MAKING
SURE THE VERBIAGE IS DOCUMENTED AND OUR OFFICERS ARE TRAINED ON IT AND WELL AWARE OF. ALL THE WAY UP THROUGH THE EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP. >> OKAY. JUST TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT, I'LL JUST KIND OF SHARE WHAT THE SECTION ITSELF SAYS.
UMM, "PUBLIC PERSONNEL UNDER 19.30 SHALL BE DOCUMENTED, INCLUDING ANY APPLICABLE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY MISSION STATEMENT, AND ANY OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES. THE REASON FOR DISPATCH OF PERSONNEL, THE NAME OF THE HOMELAND SECURITY AGENT IN
CHARGE, AND THE NAME OF THE AUTHORIZING -- NAME OF THE OFFICER AUTHORIZING THE USE OF CITY PERSONNEL." AND THIS MIGHT BE FOR THE CITY ATTORNEY. THE WAY THAT I'M READING THIS SHALL BE DOCUMENTED IS ANY CASE WHERE
CITY PERSONNEL, PUBLIC SAFETY PERSONNEL IS AUTHORIZED FOR A DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY MISSION. IS THAT CORRECT? >> CHAIR CHUGHTAI,
COUNCILMEMBER. WHAT THIS IS SAYING, IS THAT WHEN UNDER 19.30A3 OR 4, I'M NOT SURE, TWO EXCEPTIONS WHERE -- LET'S SEE, THE 3 WOULD BE WHERE THE POLICE WOULD BE QUESTIONING, ARRESTING,
OR DETAINING SOMEBODY WHEN IMMIGRATION STATUS IS AN ELEMENT OF A CRIME. AND 4 WOULD BE POLICE ASSISTING LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS IN THE INVESTIGATION OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY INVOLVING INDIVIDUALS PRESENT IN THE U.S.
WHO MAY BE IN VIOLATION OF FEDERAL CIVIL IMMIGRATION LAW. SO THERE'S SOME OTHER CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION. AND WHEN THAT OCCURS, THAT USE HAS TO BE DOCUMENTED. AND THE ORDINANCE IS, I WILL ADD THIS TO MY LIST
OF WHY YOU SHOULD NOT USE PASSIVE VOICE, IT SAYS "SHALL MUST BE DOCUMENTED" IT DOESN'T SAY WHO MUST DO THE DOCUMENTATION IN THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES. >> UH-HUH. AND THE WAY I READ IT AND THE WAY IT SAYS "THE NAME OF THE AUTHORIZING OFFICER OF
THE USE OF CITY PERSONNEL INDICATES CLEARLY, LIKE," TO ME IT SHOULD BE A CITY ACTOR. RIGHT. TO DOCUMENT IT. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS THE POLICE CHIEF OR SOMEONE ELSE. UMM, AND KIND OF LOOKING AT A PRESENT EXAMPLE
AN JUNE 3rd, AT BLOOMINGTON, I.C.E. WAS PRESENT AND THERE WAS A FEDERAL IMMIGRATION RAID. AND THAT FALLS UNDER THAT SECTION 4. AND THEN IT WOULD INITIATE THAT "SHALL BE DOCUMENTED" PIECE. DO
YOU KNOW IF ANY INFORMATION HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED SPECIFICALLY AROUND, LIKE, THE MISSION STATEMENT AND THE OPERATION GUIDELINES AND THE AUTHORIZING OFFICER FOR THE USE OF CITY
PERSONNEL? >> QUESTIONS FOR ME, COUNCILMEMBER? >> YES. CHAIR, COU COUNCIL MEMBER, THAT SPECIFIC MATTER, I'M NOT PRIVY TO THE INFORMATION, THAT MATTER. IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT FOR ME TO
SPEAK WITHOUT, YOU KNOW, SPECULATING. HOWEVER, I CAN ONLY SAY WHAT I UNDERSTAND IT TO BE. I THINK, ALL THOUGH NOT AS ELOQUENTLY, I THINK WE'RE SAYING THE SAME THING FROM THE
ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, AS WELL. HOWEVER LOOK AT MORE SO THE DOCUMENTATION OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE POLICY. HOWEVER, I'M NOT SURE THAT I CAN FULLY ANSWER THAT QUESTION. >> YEAH. LET ME TAKE A STEP BACK. MAYBE IT'S LESS FOR YOU,
AC GAITERS, AND PERHAPS THE CITY ATTORNEY CAN JUMP IN, OR WHOEVER HAS ANSWER. I THINK FOR ME, CLEARLY, THE ACTIONS THAT TOOK PLACE AN JUNE 3rd WHERE CITY PERSONNEL MPD WAS AUTHORIZED TO SHOW UP ON THE SCENE WHERE
I.C.E. WAS PRESENT. BASICALLY BRINGS FORWARD THIS PART OF THE ORDINANCE OF "THERE SHALL BE DOCUMENTATION" OF HOW THIS OCCURRED, WHO WAS THE AUTHORIZING OFFICER, THE AGENT IN CHARGE, THE REASON FOR
DISPATCH, AND THE QUESTION, I GUESS, IS HAS THERE BEEN DOCUMENTATION DONE BY THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS ON THIS CASE? >> COUNCIL VICE PRESIDENT, COUNCIL MEMBER, I CAN'T ANSWER YOUR QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER OR
NOT THERE WAS BEEN DOCUMENTATION. BUT I GUESS I WOULD SAY I WOULD NEED MORE INFORMATION TO DETERMINE WHETHER DOCUMENTATION IS REQUIRED UNDER THE ORDINANCE. THE ORDINANCE DOES NOT REQUIRE DOCUMENTATION ANY TIME MPD IS INTERACTING WITH
I.C.E. WHAT THAT PROVISION SAYS IS NOTHING SHALL PROHIBIT PUBLIC SAFETY PERSONNEL FROM ASSISTING FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT IN THE INVESTIGATION OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY INVOLVING INDIVIDUALS PRESENT IN THE UNITED STATES WHO MAY ALSO BE IN VIOLATION OF
FEDERAL CIVIL IMMIGRATION LAW. THAT WOULD ONLY BE TRIGGERED IF THAT INVESTIGATION -- THAT THE LAKE STREET MATTER WAS BASED ON INVOLVED PEOPLE WHO ALSO WERE IN VIOLATION OF FEDERAL CIVIL IMMIGRATION LAW. SO IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEN IT WOULD BE
TRIGGERED. BUT THE FACT THAT I.C.E. IS OUT THERE ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH TO TRIGGER THAT. >> OKAY. I THINK I WOULD REQUEST TO THE CHAIR, IF THAT COULD BE ASKED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE FOLLOW UP. DID
THIS CASE SPECIFICALLY TRIGGER THE SECTION A4, AND IF THERE HAS BEEN DOCUMENTATION DONE. AND, ALSO, I WOULD LOVE TO GET MORE CLARITY ON WHAT SECTION 4 MEANS
ITSELF. BECAUSE THE LANGUAGE THAT SAYS "INVOLVING INDIVIDUALS PRESENT IN THE UNITED STATES WHO MAY BE IN VIOLATION" IT'S NOT -- IT SOUNDS LIKE -- HOW DEFINITIVE OF AN ANSWER OF IF SOMEONE IS IN VIOLATION OF CIVIL IMMIGRATION
LAW OR NOT. I DON'T KNOW THAT FEELS UNCLEAR HOW WE WOULD KNOW ABOUT IT. WE KNOW IS THAT THERE WERE AGENTS THERE THAT DO CONDUCT IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT AND THEN WE SHOWED UP ON TO THE
SCENE IN ASSISTANCE OF THE ENFORCEMENT THAT WAS HAPPENING THERE. SO CLARITY THERE WOULD BE HELPFUL. >> I WANT TO CONFIRM THAT CLERKS CAUGHT THAT. AND THEN WHEN THE COUNCILMEMBER FOR SECTION 4,
CHAPTER 19.30A14. GREAT. ALL RIGHT. AND THEN I WILL, FINALLY, RECOGNIZE COUNCILMEMBER CASHMAN. >> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. I KNOW THE LEGISLATIVE DIRECTIVE IS SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSING THE SEPARATION ORDINANCE AND
COMPLI COMPLIANCE WITH THAT. I THINK SOME OF THE FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS THAT COUNCILMEMBER CHOWDRY RAISED AND COUNCILMEMBER CHAVEZ RAISED WILL BE GREAT. I WANT TO THE ASK YOU A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS ABOUT JUNE 3 3rd, AS WELL. GIVEN THERE'S SO MUCH COMMUNITY INTEREST IN WHAT HAPPENED THAT
DAY. AND I'M SPECIFICALLY CONCERNED WITH ALLEGATIONS THAT MPD WAS COVERING THEIR BADGES AND THEIR NAMES THAT DAY, AS WELL AS A VIDEO THAT CIRCULATED OF AN OFFICER PUSHING A PROTESTER. I'M WONDERING FOR YOU CAN GIVE ME AN UPDATE ON ANY INVESTIGATION OR DISCIPLINARY ACTION THAT HAS BEEN TAKEN.
YOU KNOW, I KNOW THAT WE HAVE A GREAT OFFICE OF POLICE CONDUCT REVIEW FORM THAT HAS BEEN UPDATED ON THE WEBSITE. SO THAT FOLKS CAN ACTUALLY MAKE A COMPLAINT, IF THEY WITNESS POLICE MISCONDUCT. YOU DON'T THAT IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE OFFICER'S NAME. THAT'S A REQUIREMENT OF THAT FORM. AS
FAR AS I UNDERSTAND. SO JUST AN UPDATE ON WHERE THE TWO ASPECTS OF JUNE 3rd ARE AT WOULD BE HELPFUL. >> CHAIR AND COUNCILMEMBER. UNFORTUNATELY I AM UNABLE TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE. AS I
EXPLAINED BEFORE, I AM NOT PRIVY TO WHAT'S BEING LOOKED AT IN THAT COURSE. ESPECIALLY IF IT GOES TO OPCR, AS WELL. I DO MAKE IT A POINT TO NEED TO KNOW WHAT I NEED TO KNOW. AND KEEP
MY HANDS OFF OF THINGS THAT I SHOULD BE KEEPING MY HANDS OFF OF. AS FAR AS SEQUENCE OF EVENTS, BODY-WORN CAMERA, AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. THAT MAY HAVE BEEN REVIEWED. I'M NOT PRIVY TO. AND UNABLE TO ANSWER O UNFORTUNATELY, AT THIS
TIME. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR INFORMATION. I ASK WE HAVE A FOLLOW UP. I KNOW SOMEONE KNOWS. I HAVE TO STATE, IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT, I'M A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED CHIEF ISN'T HERE GIVEN HOW MUCH INTEREST THERE IS FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS ABOUT
THIS TOPIC AND KEEPING OUR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY SAFE. >> THANK YOU. >> COUNCILMEMBER CHAVEZ. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR CHUGHTAI. THANK YOU, ACA GR AC GAITERS. I HAVE A QUESTION ON NINE. TRAINING GAPS THAT THE
DEPARTMENT REFINES MESSAGING TO ENSURE OFFICERS UNDERSTAND THE PERCEIVED UNDOCUMENTED STATUS ALONE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE REASONABLE SUSPICIOUS OR PROBABLE CAUSE FOR INVESTIGATION. CAN YOU DIVE DEEPER INTO THE BARRIER OF COMPLIANCE COMPONENT. I THINK
I'M CONCERNED THIS IS, AH, BEING IDENTIFIED AS A BARRIER TO COMPLIANCE. WHEN IT COMES TO JUST A PERCEPTION OF BEING AN UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANT IN THIS COMMUNITY. AND HOW OUR OFFICERS, I GUESS, THE MPD IS IDENTIFYING THAT AS A BARRIER TO
COMPLIANCE. I WANT TO UNDERSTAND HOW THAT CAME UP ON, I GUESS, WHY IT WOULD -- SOMEONE'S STATUS CONSTITUTE SOMEONE'S SUSPICIOUS OF PROBABLE CAUSE FOR CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION. >> UMM, IF I'M UNDERSTANDING --
CHAIR AND COUNCILMEMBER, ARE YOU SPEAKING IN IF THERE'S AN ENGAGEMENT WITH SOMEONE AND, AT SOME POINT, THE IMMIGRATION STATUS WOULD COME UP. >> YEAH. >> GO AHEAD. >> YEAH, I'M WONDERING HOW THAT
WAS IDENTIFIED AS A BARRIER TO COMPLIANCE THAT POINT NUMBER TWO. THE TRAINING GAP COMPONENT THAT SAYS, UMM, THE DEPARTMENT CONTINUES TO REFINE MESSAGING TO ENSURE OFFICERS UNDERSTAND THAT PERCEIVED UNDOCUMENTED STATUS ALONE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE REASONABLE SUSPICIOUS OR
PROBABLE CAUSE FOR CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION. I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, WHY IS -- WHY HAS THAT BEEN A BARRIER TO COMPLIANCE? I'M CONCERNED THAT, LIKE, THAT IS EVEN A THOUGHT. I GUESS.
>> YEAH. AND, CHAIR AND COUNCILMEMBER, WHAT YOU HAVE IN LAW ENFORCEMENT WHEN ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES TAKE PLACE, YOU TYPICALLY ARE LOOKING FOR -- NOT ALWAYS, NOT LIMITED TO JUST THIS. BUT TYPICALLY LOOKING FOR REASONABLE SUSPICION TO ENGAGE
WITH AN INDIVIDUAL. OR PROBABLE CAUSE, AS WELL. AND THAT PROBABLE CAUSE, YOU KNOW, IS WHAT OFFICERS USE AS A FOUNDATION FOR ARREST. IN VIOLATION OF A CRIME. SO WHAT WE WANT TO MAKE CERTAIN WITH OUR
OFFICERS IS THAT THEY KNOW. THE REASONABLE SUSPICION YOU'RE LOOKING FOR OR PROBABLE CAUSE. WE WANT THEM TO UNDERSTAND THAT IN NO CIRCUMSTANCE DOES THIS ITSELF OR BY ITSELF INDICATE REASONABLE SUSPICION OR
PROBABLE CAUSE TO FURTHER, YOU KNOW, CONTINUE IN THAT CRIMINAL PROCESS. BY ONE'S IMMIGRATION STATUS. IT IS NOT TO BE USED FOR REASONABLE SUSPICION. IT'S NOT TO BE USED FOR PROBABLE CAUSE TO MAKE AN ARREST. THUS YOU KIND OF CANCEL OUT THE EVENT
OF AN OFFICER SAYING THAT, YOU KNOW, I'M GOING TO ARREST A PERSON OR A VEHICLE FOR REASONABLE SUSPICION. NO. AND THAT OFFICER, IF COMES THROUGH HIS OR HER MIND THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHY I DID IT. BECAUSE OF IMMIGRATION STATUS. THAT
SHOULD BE A KEY INDICATER THAT YOU'RE DONE HERE. STOP. THIS POLICY CLEARLY INDICATES IN THE TRAINING CLEARLY INDICATES THIS IS ITSELF CANNOT BE USED AS REASONABLE SUSPICION OR PROBABLE CAUSE TO MOVE FORWARD. >> FOR SURE. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT'S, LIKE, MPD LEADERSHIP'S
INTENT AND GOAL. WHICH I SUPPORT AND I THINK IT'S GREAT. I THINK MY ONLY CONCERN WAS THAT IT'S BEEN MENTIONED ON THE BARRIER TO COMPLIANCE. AND MY CONCERN IS THAT DOES THAT MEAN WE HAVE MANY OFFICERS ON MPD THAT ARE STRUGGLING WITH THAT COMPONENT? AND WHAT ARE WE DOING TO MAKE SURE THAT MAYBE
OUR TRAINING IMPROVES. THAT WE HONE IN ON THAT A LOT MORE. BECAUSE I THINK IT'S A LITTLE BIT CONCERNING TO ME THAT FOLKS IN THE DEPARTMENT MIGHT THINK THAT SOMEONE'S PERCEIVED UNDOCUMENTED STATUS COULD, YOU KNOW, -- YEAH. THAT'S JUST MY POINT. I THINK I AGREE WITH YOU
ON THAT, LIKE, THAT SHOULD NOT BE THE CASE. I'M CONCERNED THAT IT'S NOTED ON THE BARRIER TO COMPLIANCE. BECAUSE I WOULDN'T EXPECT THAT. >> SO, YEAH. AND, CHAIR, AND COUNCIL MEMBER, IF I COULD JUST SAY, LIKE, AN OLDER OFFICER WHO
HAS BEEN IN OUR CULTURE AND POLICE DEPARTMENT SINCE THIS POLICY CAME INTO PLAY. THEY'RE WELL AWARE OF MPD'S POLICY. THAT'S ONE PIECE I'LL SAY WITH CONVICTION. THAT OUR OFFICERS
HAVE DONE FAIRLY WELL OVER THE YEARS WHEN THEY KNOW THAT WE DON'T ENGAGE WITH IMMIGRATION STATUS. IT'S BEEN THAT WAY FOR SOME TIME. HOWEVER, IF I WERE A NEW OFFICER ON THE DEPARTMENT AND IT'S SOMETHING NEW TO ME.
IT'S A REMINDER. AND MAYBE OR MAY NOT BE, DEPENDS ON THE LENS IN WHICH YOU VIEW IT, BUT IT MAY OR MAY NOT BE A BAYER TO THEM. HOWEVER, THEY WILL QUICKLY LEARN THROUGH OUR TRAINING UNIT AND THROUGH OUR POLICIES AS THEY ARE
INSTITUTED AND GIVEN TO THEM THAT THIS IS NOT THE WAY THE MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT NOR CHIEF O'HARA EXPECTS OUR OFFICERS TO CONDUCT THEMSELVES. >> THANK YOU. AND THE LAST QUESTION I'LL ASK, ADMINISTRATIVE FOLLOW UP. I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO ANSWER TODAY. HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE
VIOLATED -- HAS THE CITY VIOLATED THE CITY'S SEPARATION ORDINANCE. THAT WOULD BE BEYOND JUST THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. SO I'M ASKING FOR ADMINISTRATIVE FOLLOW UP. IT COULD BE NOT JUST MPD. WE HAVE OTHER CITY PERSONNEL. AND THAT THAT'S THE FIRST QUESTION. HOW MANY TIMES
AS WE AS A CITY BROKEN THE CITY SEPARATION ORDINANCE P I WANT TO HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THAT COMPONENT. AND I FORGOT MY LAST QUESTION. I'LL LEAVE AT THAT. >> AND, CHAIR, AND COUNCILMEMBER, I THINK I CAN ANSWER FOR MPD. WE'VE ASKED THAT QUESTION. AND I'VE BEEN
TOLD THAT NO VIOLATIONS HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED. IN THE LAST 10 YEARS. AND I BELIEVE THAT'S SINCE THE ORDINANCE TOOK PLACE. BUT I CANNOT, OBVIOUSLY, SPEAK FOR THE CITY ITSELF. >> AND I REMEMBER THE LAST
QUESTION. HOW MANY TIMES HAS IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT OR HOMELAND SECURITY REACHED OUT FOR ASSISTANCE TO THE CITY? AND THAT'S IT. I'M DONE. THANK YOU. >> AND, CHAIR, I CAN'T ANSWER THAT FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT ON HOW MANY TIMES THEY'VE
CONVERSED WITH OTHERS ON THE AGENCY. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WOULD BE DOCUMENTED EACH TIME EVERYWHERE. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. AND THAT'S THINGS WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THE CITY SEPARATION ORDINANCE. I THINK TRACKING ACCOUNTABILITY,
TRANSPARENT IS IMPORTANT. >> COUNCILMEMBER, ON YOUR FIRST QUESTION, FOR ADMINISTRATIVE FOLLOW UP IN THIS SET. WHICH WAS HOW MANY TIMES -- IF I'M REMEMBERING CORRECTLY, I THINK HOW MANY TIMES HAS THE CITY BEEN
FOUND TO VIOLATE OR NOT BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CITY SEPARATION POLICY. UMM, AH, WOULD YOU CONSIDER, JUST AMENDING THAT SLIGHTLY, UMM, TO INCLUDE TIMES HAVE WE INVESTIGATED INTERNALLY POTENTIAL VIOLATIONS OF THE POLICY. >> I THINK BOTH, YES.
>> GREAT. THANK YOU. >> UMM, CLERKS, DID WE CATCH THOSE? WONDERFUL. UMM, NOW JUST BEFORE WE WRAP UP HERE, I DON'T SEE ANYONE ELSE IN QUEUE, BUT FEEL FREE TO JUMP IN, IF YOU HAVE FURTHER QUESTIONS. IN
BARRIERS TO COMPLIANCE, RIGHT. THE SLIDE YOU HAVE UP. THE -- THE -- EXAMPLES, ASIDE FROM, UMM, TRAINING GAPS. WE'LL START WITH AMBIGUITY. YOU KNOW, YOU NOTED IN YOUR PRESENTATION AND IT CAME UP IN DISCUSSION HERE TODAY, TOO, WHERE, UMM, HOW YOU
HAVE COME TO LEARN THAT THIS IS A BARRIER TO EX TO COMPLIANCE. AND WHO IS RESPONSIBLE. IS SOMETHING THAT YOU'VE RUN INTO AND SO YOU HAVE COME TO IDENTIFY IT AS AS BARRIER TO COMPLIANCE. UMM, EXTERNAL MISUNDERSTANDINGS,
AGAIN, YOU PROVIDED SOME EXAMPLE, I BELIEVE, OF, UMM, OUTSIDE AGENCIES MAKING REQUESTS AND CONFLICTING, UMM, -- THAT -- THAT -- CONFLICT WITH THE CITY'S SEPARATION POLICY. UMM, HOW CAN
YOU -- CAN YOU HELP SHED SOME LIGHT INTO OR PROVIDE SOME REASSURANCE THAT, UMM, THE WAY YOU CAME TO IDENTIFY TRAINING GAPS? IS IT BECAUSE YOU HAD OFFICERS THAT WERE USING
PERCEIVED DOCUMENTATION STATUS AS THE BASIS OF IDENTIFYING PROBABLE CAUSE OR, UMM, I CAN'T REMEMBER THE SECOND TERM THAT YOU USED. BUT -- YEAH.
>> CHAIR, I DON'T REMEMBER THE SECOND TERM THAT I USED. HOWEVER, SOME OF THESE BARRIERS ARE IN ANTICIPATION. SO SOME OF THOSE THOUGHTS ARE THOUGHT OUT OF THINGS THAT COULD ACTUALLY OCCUR. THAT MAYBE WE HAVE NOT THOUGHT ABOUT. AND THESE THINGS
WE BRAINSTORM IN OUR TRAINING UNIT, AS WELL, THEY DO A GREAT JOB. YOU KNOW, "WHAT IF SOMETHING ..." OVER AND OVER AGAIN. AND THIS IS, YOU KNOW, NOT SAYING THAT -- AS AN ABSOLUTE THIS IS WHAT IT IS. BUT, HOWEVER, WE DO THINK ABOUT
THINGS THAT COULD OCCUR THAT WE MAY NOT HAVE VERBIAGE IN IN POLICY OR A MATRIX. AND THOSE ARE THINGS WE'LL CONTINUE TO ENGAGE IN DIALOGUE INTERNALLY. AND TAKING SUGGESTIONS EXTERNALLY, AS WELL. AND, OF COURSE, FROM OUR LEGISLATORS,
ALL OF YOU, AS WELL, ON WAYS TO MAYBE BETTER THE WAY WE'RE OPERATING WITHIN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. >> WONDERFUL. THANK YOU. SEEING NO FURTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION, I'LL DIRECT THE CLERK TO RECEIVE AND FILE THAT REPORT. THANK YOU FOR COMING IN. AND FOR THAT PRESENTATION. WITH THAT, WE HAVE CONCLUDED ALL BUSINESS TO COME BEFORE THE
COMMITTEE TODAY. IF THERE ARE NO OBJECTIONS, WE ARE ADJOURNED. THANK YOU EVERYONE.
