Council Member Brewer raises concerns about officers' compliance in completing various reports, including stop reports and body-worn camera usage. Commissioner Strauber acknowledges that while these issues are not currently being investigated, they fall within the office's expertise.
- Previous investigation into force reporting and form completion related to use of force
- Recognition of the need to carefully select topics due to limited resources
- Suggestion to modernize report filing systems to reduce paperwork

Okay.
1:06:56
And the stop and frisk monitor, which exists, has reported on PD officers failure to complete stop reports when they are required.
1:07:06
It has been noted that officers too often fail to turn in on a timely basis their BWCs, and I know it's a whole issue about filling out forms.
1:07:14
And I hope the new commissioner because I've seen paper up to the ceiling, and I hope it is pre populated and online and stopped with this craziness.
1:07:23
So that's another topic to look at from your perspective.
1:07:26
Why is there so much paper and not more, technology?
1:07:30
So have you looked at whether, officers are properly completing this type of report and other TRI reports?
1:07:38
That would be another topic.
1:07:39
Is that something that's on your list?

Look.
1:07:42
It it it is not
Gale A. Brewer
1:07:43
I have another 10 of them here.
Jocelyn Strauber
1:07:45
I I mean, we should have a we can have this conversation now or at any at any time.
1:07:49
These are all good ideas.
1:07:51
They're not things we are currently working on.
1:07:53
There is there was.
1:07:54
We did do some force reporting and the completion of of forms relating to the use of force.
1:08:00
Again, not not in the last couple years, but a number of years ago.
1:08:03
Just just to show that these are the sorts of things that we certainly have the expertise to do, we have to pick our topics very carefully given the limited team that we have.

I know I'm running I'm running out of time.
