FPC19242 Resolution to amend Standard Operating Procedure 765 - Asset Forfeiture Commissioner Everett Cocroft requested several changes regarding Standard Operating Procedure 765 Asset Forfeiture. He requested for language to be added to the policy in regards to the Milwaukee Police Department and how they no longer pursue state cases. He also requested for a larger percentage of the money and resources from the asset forfeiture to go to agencies that are helping with community policing and conflict resolution. Lastly, he had an issue with the $1000.00 amount money seizure requirement. Commissioner Angela McKenzie requested several changes regarding Standard Operating Procedure 765 Asset Forfeiture. She would like the 2019 version of this policy to have the same outline as the 2016 version of the Standard Operating Procedure 765 Asset Forfeiture. She also requested for the 2019 version to have noted timelines that outline some type of communication to someone who has had their property taken. Lastly, she requested for the policy to outline what the jurisdiction is and to also have a section in the policy with the definitions for federal forfeiture proceedings to bring clarity on the jurisdiction that exists, the entities that are enforcing it, and U.S Code and law. She referred to the 2016 version of the policy Section 765.10 section g and she would like for this to be in the 2019 version as well. Commissioner Angela McKenzie also addressed an idea to the Chair to have a section on the Fire and Police Commission website providing an outline where the community can click and view the reports that the Milwaukee Police Department mentioned on how the asset forfeiture money is split apart and given to community groups or invested in the community. Chief Morales and the command staff requested for the changes to be memorialized in writing so that they can work on and implement the changes discussed. The Chair confirmed that the changes will be provided. The Chair asked for the department to implement the changes discussed in regards to this item, document it, and bring back to Committee. He also would like to give an opportunity to receive feedback from the Community for the next Fire and Police Commission Policies and Standards Committee meeting. This Fire And Police Resolution was REFERRED to the FPC POLICIES AND STANDARDS COMMITTEE due back on 7/30/2020.
