27. CDP will develop and implement a comprehensive and integrated community and problem-oriented policing model in order to promote and strengthen partnerships within the community, engage constructively with the community to ensure collaborative problem-solving, and increase community confidence in CDP. CDP will consult with the Commission regarding this model as appropriate
28. CDP will ensure that its mission statement reflects its commitment to community oriented policing and will integrate community and problem-oriented policing principles into its management, policies and procedures, recruitment, training, personnel evaluations, resource deployment, tactics, and accountability systems
29. CDP will ensure that officers are familiar with the geographic areas they serve, including their assets, challenges, problems, business, residential and demographic profiles, and community groups and leaders; engage in problem identification and solving activities with the community groups and members regarding the community’s priorities; and work proactively with other city and county departments to address quality of life issues
30. CDP will provide initial and annual in-service community and problem-oriented policing training that is adequate in quality, quantity, type, and scope, and will incorporate into its training of all officers, including supervisors, commanders, and executives, community and problem-oriented policing principles, including:
A. methods and strategies to improve public safety and crime prevention through community engagement;
B. training that promotes the development of new problem-solving partnerships between the police and community, targeting problem-solving and crime prevention;
C. leadership, ethics, and effective communication and interpersonal skills;
D. community engagement, including how to establish partnerships and actively engage civilians and community organizations, including youth, LGBT, homeless, and mental health organizations and communities;
E. principles of procedural justice and its goals; f. conflict resolution and verbal de-escalation of conflict; and g. cultural competency and sensitivicy training
31. The City and CDP will maintain collaborative partnerships with a broad spectrum of community groups. CDP representatives will meet, as appropriate, with residential, business, religious, civic, educational, and other community-based groups in each District, and with the District Policing Committees, to proactively maintain these relationships and identify and address community problems and challenges
32. CDP will continue to meet with members of the community in each District on a monthly basis. CDP will actively solicit participation from a broad cross-section of community members in each District. Among other things, these community meetings will be used to identify problems and other areas of concern in the community and discuss responses and solutions. During these meetings, CDP may discuss, when appropriate, summaries of relevant audits and reports assessing CDP as well as any policy changes completed during the preceding quarter
33. Within 365 days of the Effective Date, CDP will develop and implement systems to monitor officer outreach to the community. CDP will use this method to analyze, among other things, whether officers are partnering with a broad cross-section of community members to develop and implement cooperative strategies that build mutual respect and identify and solve problems. The Monitor will review whether the systems developed by the City are effective
34. At least annually, CDP will present the results of this analysis, broken out by District, in a publicly-available community policing report detailing its community policing efforts in each District. This report will describe the problems and solutions identified in the analysis above. The report also will identify obstacles encountered in community and problem-oriented policing and recommendations for future improvement. In developing this report, CDP will consider, as appropriate, available results from the biennial survey. The community policing report will be provided to the Commission, posted on CDP’s website, and a summary of the report will be provided at each District community meeting following the report’s publication
