1. Roll call.

Eric Moore, and Jeff Roman

Mr. Baack said the 6-month report is deeply troubling in that 4 out of the 5

recommendations are not showing any progress or are not near anywhere the
benchmarks. Ms. Mays seconded Mr. Baack's concerns as well as his concern that
there has been a decrease in compliance. Ms. Rivera suggested reaching out the
ACLU about extending the settlement; Mr. Jansen recommended Karen as a good
contact and will send her contact info. Mr. Jansen's opinion is that the report was
pretty shocking and there needs to be discussions on not only extending the
settlement, but also consequences. Mr. Jansen will contact the ACLU and Chair
Hamilton would also like the FPC Director be present and he encourages them to
create their own audit parameters. Mr. Baack supported both the extension and
consequences. The City Attorney's Office should also be present. Chair Hamilton
would like to have a statement put out to the media about where the Commission
stands in regards to the 6-month report. Ms. Orta thought this was important, as well
as for a show of transparency. Ms. Orta will assist in drafting something for review to
be released.
4. Update from the committees and add/remove members.
Mr. Smith said the Policy Committee's next step is to move forward with the
Community Engagement Plan.
Mr. Carlton Mayer's services will be voted on at the next meeting, so that needs to be
on the agenda.
Mr. Jansen said the Research and Survey Committee no longer has a chair due to
Pamela Malone's resignation. Mr. Mozina was able to re-structure the questions into
an organized Excel document. The next step is to come some conclusions about
what actually needs to be on the survey.
Ms. Orta said the Outreach Committee duties overlap with the Research Survey
Committee and these two committees need to work together in how to best
disseminate.
Ms. Rivera will connect with Ms. Scott to orient her as to this body.
Mr. Smith said the Committee discussed the Use of Force SOP and it would like
Milwaukee's to mirror Camden New Jersey's and he would like the entire body to
discuss a Use of Force Policy. The text in red are portions that deserve particular
attention. This should be on the next agenda. Camden's police force did not fire any
firearms last year. Mr. Mozina would like to have added "no knock search warrants"
as a use of force. Mr. Smith agreed with Mr. Mozina and he noted that "no knock
warrants" aren't even tracked. Mr. Mozina did analysis of "No knock search warrants"
and he will provide that data. Mr. Smith is concerned about getting data on all search
warrants. This will also be on the next agenda.
5, Commission recommendations on the use of American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 funds.
Mr. Royal would like funds allocated for the process of community engagement as
costs will probably be substantial to pay for subject matter experts, guest speakers
and outreach costs. Mr. Royal moved, seconded to Mr. Orta, to allocate some of
these funds for community engagement costs by this body.
6. Public questions or comments.
Mr. Jansen thanked Pamela Malone for her service. He would like to limit meetings to
one hour.
Ms. Rivera would like to have an update on the police chief re-instatement.
Ms. Rivera would like to make recommendations for racial equity and inclusion efforts

that out work intersects with. She is also fine with these items going straight to
committee.
Chair Hamilton would like to discuss Ald. Lewis's Diversion Task Force. Mr. Smith will
update the CCC on this item at the next meeting. Mr. Baack noted that some
communities are moving from armed officers not responding to traffic issues.
