Open Issues
1. Continued Review-List of Recommendations, TMPD Areas of Concentration
The Task Force continued to review the recommendations in the Google Doc that serves as the
communal draft. We worked on the sections Bias Free Policing, Use of Force Policies/Methods of
Engagement, Training, Oversight and Complaint Procedure, Disclosure of Data and Other Thoughts for
Recommendations.
We will need to revisit the Training section in detail at our next meeting. It is our intention to work
independently over the course of this week, and finalize all outstanding issues at our next meeting.
We will need several policies from Chief Creazzo in order to complete our discussions. He has agreed to
provide them. They are; Internal misconduct, Serious incident, and Retaliation/Whistle Blower.
