But how do you use that data that you've captured to also inform policies on how you're gonna do better?
2:12:28
Because earlier you talked about patrol guide, training, refreshers course, officers that do not put in their, information.
2:12:35
How does that happen?
2:12:36
You call CCRB.
2:12:37
There's no leader to lead the CCRB right now, so where's the accountability and responsibility?

So
Michael Gerber
2:12:42
I think there are a few different pieces of this.
2:12:44
So one, I I do wanna say talk for a minute about compliance stat, which is something that we we started earlier this year.
2:12:50
It it is a major innovation for the department.
2:12:53
I think it's gonna have, a really significant effect on how we do things.
2:12:57
You know, there's a joke in the department that if you, you know, if we're serious about something, we create a stat about it.
2:13:03
And and there's there's there's truth to that in the sense that you're gathering data, you're getting executives involved, you're you're pushing accountability.
2:13:12
And compliance stat functions very much like ComStat.
2:13:15
Right?
2:13:15
In the same sense that we have a ComStat, we have COs at the podium being held accountable with our crime problems and their respective commands.
2:13:23
Here, it's about accountability in terms of under reporting, body worn camera activation, the level 2, level 3 distinction.
2:13:33
You have you have you have CEOs standing there being grilled by some of the most senior executives, uniforms in the department, on their on how they do compliance, how they do oversight.
2:13:44
I think that's incredibly important.
2:13:46
There's an entire team that's been created, in the in the human patrol's office, that what they're doing, you know, pretty much all day every day is they're they're prepping for for compliance stat, pulling videos, analyzing videos.
2:13:58
We put up a compliance stat, both good videos and bad videos.
2:14:02
I think it's actually a really helpful thing.
2:14:04
We have all the CEOs who have borrowed command in the room, and we're walking through videos, and we're showing examples of really great policing.
2:14:11
And, by the way, when I say great policing, it's not just lawful policing, but also that they're talking to people the right way.
