Police Commission - a list of pending special reports, and when
they are due to be delivered
At it's regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, September 12, members
of the Board of Police Commissioners requested they be updated weekly
with a list of pending LAPD special reports, and when they are due
to be delivered.
Commission President Rick Caruso said he was aware of any number
of issues before the Commission where reports had been promised,
but tracking when they were due to be returned to the Commission,
and when they might reappear on a Commission Agenda, was difficult.
The other Commissioners agreed, and Commissioner David Cunningham
suggested creating an ongoing weekly list of pending reports with
due dates.
Until now there was no tool listing them all in one place. Joe Gunn,
the Commission's Executive Director, and Commission Secretary Edna
Bernal, who was honored at the meeting as the Commission's Employee
of the Month, said they'd establish a weekly sheet listing all pending
reports and due dates for the Commissioners. This tool could go
out to them in the packets they are sent prior to every meeting.
Many reports on conditions and plans at LAPD, as well as internal
studies, commonly called "audits" in LAPD jargon, are
required by the Consent Decree, or are requested by the Monitor.
Consent Decree materials have dates certain, and are therefore due
on a regular and recurring basis, every quarter, every six months
or yearly, for example.
Others audits are done regularly by the Office of the Inspector
General, which then generates reports.
When LAPD receives a request for a "special report" from
the Commission itself , there is usually, but not always, a due
date attached for delivery, often derived by asking the person who
will provide the report for a comfortable time-frame.
Ms. Bernal tracks those reports that have a due date attached, and
makes sure they reappear on Commission Agendas when the time is
right.
But others, the Commission felt, need to be identified and tracked,
too, even if a time-frame for delivery had not been established
originally.
Here is the preliminary version of a Report List, with approximate
due dates. These are presented as samples of special reports we
know are pending.
LACP apologizes in advance if there are any reports missing, or
if the "due dates" are off a little, and thanks the Commission
staff for it's help. We will appreciate any input that can make
this list more accurate, and will immediately update and correct
it as time goes on:
