First-Year Draft January 8, 2018
Introduction This document contains a draft of the First Year ( ) that the Baltimore Police Department ( ) has prepared for structuring and assessing the compliance of the Baltimore Police Department ( ) and the City of Baltimore ( City ) with the court-approved Consent Decree that and the City entered into with the United States Department of Justice ( DOJ ) in 2017. The Consent Decree, which is a judicially-enforceable agreement, requires to adopt a comprehensive set of specific reforms designed to promote fair and constitutional policing, rebuild s relationships with Baltimore s communities, and ensure public safety. Taken as a whole, the Consent Decree prescribes transformational change for. Achieving transformational change in a large police department does not happen overnight. As the Consent Decree envisions, it takes time, and it requires adherence to a rigorous, methodical reform process. The is the blueprint for the first year of that process. It provides a clear, detailed, structured framework for the initial steps that and the City must take toward full and effective compliance with the Consent Decree. The draft is what it purports to be: a draft. Between now and January 29, 2018, the seeks to obtain the community s views on the draft. We would like to know whether community members and police officers believe the draft reflects the correct priorities based on the requirements of the Consent Decree and, if not, which Consent Decree requirements ought to be prioritized instead. We would also like to know whether community members and police officers believe the draft provides them a meaningful voice in the reform process laid out in the Consent Decree. Upon receiving and assessing the community s comments, we will assemble a final proposed plan for the Court s review and approval. In correspondence, in informal meetings, and at forums held in November and December 2017 at Mervo High School, Douglass High School, Dunbar High School, and Harford Heights Elementary School, the already has received the views of certain community members about Consent Decree priorities and community participation in the Consent Decree reform process. We have received similar feedback from officers. These communications confirmed our belief that community members and police officers should have an opportunity to review and comment on a written draft of the, now that one has been prepared, before a final proposed is submitted to the Court. What the Is and What It Is Not The does not take the place of the Consent Decree, and nothing in the changes any of the requirements of the Consent Decree. Just the opposite: the provides a timetable for implementing the requirements of the Consent Decree. Informed by the s experience with overseeing other police reform efforts and our sense of what is unique about Baltimore and, the furnishes a road map i Draft First-Year January 8, 2018
for ensuring that (1) and the City make swift progress in adopting lasting, sustainable reform and (2) all stakeholders Baltimore residents,, the City, and DOJ know what needs to be done, and when it needs to be done, as the compliance process unfolds. This document contains two parts: the and an Overview of Subsequent Years. The identifies the obligations of, the City, and the for the first year of monitoring, which will run from mid-february 2018 through mid- February 2019. The is necessarily detailed. It provides specific deadlines, weekby-week and month-by-month, that obligate and the City to comply with the Consent Decree requirements that the believes ought to prioritized, and can be achieved, by February 2019. These requirements include establishing policies, developing training curricula, and making systemic assessments, all of which are aimed at ensuring effective, safe, constitutional policing. The thus lays the groundwork for making tangible improvements in operations and performance, including positive changes in the ways officers interact with civilians. The does not flesh out each and every measure and the City must take to achieve full and effective compliance with the Consent Decree. It covers only one year of a multi-year project. As the indicates, the will present a similarly detailed Second Year in late 2018, after we have had time to assess s progress in the first year. We will then present a detailed Third Year near the end of the second year, after we have a chance to assess s progress under the Second Year. And so on. As its name indicates, the Overview of Subsequent Years contains an overview of the plan for meeting Consent Decree requirements that are either not prioritized or not realistically achievable in the first year. Unlike the, and as the Consent Decree requires, the Overview of Subsequent Years provides a general timetable not specific deadlines for achieving the Consent Decree s goals. In essence, it is a rough guide for drafting the more detailed annual plans in the coming years. What the Requires in Year One As the differences between the and the Overview of Subsequent Years make clear, not every Consent Decree requirement can be or will be addressed, much less met, in the first year. Full Consent Decree compliance cannot be achieved all at once., its officers and community members need sufficient time and opportunity to focus on each area of the Consent Decree, and on each requirement within each area, to ensure that reform is real and enduring. There is generally a logical progression for achieving sustainable reform in each area of the Consent Decree. first must establish revised policies in each area. Then it must develop and conduct training on those revised policies. It is only at that point that the can comprehensively assess whether the new policies are taking root that is, whether the new policies are actually resulting in the real-world changes the Consent Decree requires. Because it ii Draft First-Year January 8, 2018
covers only the first year, the naturally focuses on the front-end of the reform process: policy revision and, where achievable within the first twelve months, training curriculum revision. And it does so in certain key areas. The has prioritized these areas because: (1) community members have identified them as priorities; (2) DOJ focused on them in its findings, which led to the Consent Decree; (3) they are achievable in the first year; and (4), the City and DOJ have identified them as ripe for early focus. These areas include: use of force; transportation of persons in custody; stops, searches, arrests and voluntary interactions; impartial policing; misconduct investigations and discipline; First Amendment-protected activities; and sexual assault investigations. The general focus on policies and training development does not mean that, in the first year, the will not examine the conduct of officers on the street, or determine how to measure whether is making tangible improvements in its performance, which is the ultimate goal of the Consent Decree. We will. As the indicates, we will work with and as the Consent Decree requires, to develop methodologies for determining whether officers are engaged in constitutional policing and whether, including its internal accountability mechanisms and data collection systems, are functioning in a way that promotes that goal. Importantly, we will also conduct preliminary assessments of performance in certain key areas stops/searches/arrests and impartial policing; use of force; and misconduct investigations with an eye toward determining what we need to look for once the implements revised training programs and upgraded data collection systems. There is more in the than the development of policies, training plans, and assessment measures. and the City are, for instance, required to install proper equipment in transport vans and perform foundational studies to determine what and the City need in critical areas like technology, staffing, and services to individuals with behavioral health disabilities. The also focuses on community policing and engagement. It requires to formulate a robust community engagement and policing plan, which is essential to achieving the Consent Decree s goal of building a relationship of trust between and the communities it serves. For each deliverable must achieve under the, the will conduct a compliance review to determine whether it satisfies the requirements of the Consent Decree. Because this is the first year, these compliance reviews will necessarily be limited to particular Consent Decree requirements. It is too early in the reform process to conduct compliance reviews for entire sections of the Consent Decree, and likewise too soon to conduct comprehensive outcome assessments. How the Will Communicate with the and the Parties The also outlines the s own engagement with the community. Consistent with the input received from community stakeholders in meetings and at the four community forums held in November and December 2017, we will be expanding our iii Draft First-Year January 8, 2018
community engagement team. Within the first several months of 2018, the will select and hire, through an application process, neighborhood liaisons in each of Baltimore s nine police districts. The purpose of this expansion is to provide Baltimoreans access to the that is both localized and familiar. Through the existing ties they have with residents in their communities, the neighborhood liaisons will serve as the s initial points of contact for information and opinions about the performance and conduct of officers, which the will need to fully assess s compliance with the Consent Decree. The also identifies how the will communicate with community members. We have (1) an office at 6 Redwood Street in Baltimore, (2) a website, www.bpdmonitor.com, and an email address, info@bpdmonitor.com, (3) a telephone number, (410) 538-4670, and (4) a presence on social media, with a Facebook account (https://www.facebook.com/bpdmonitor/) and a Twitter account (https://twitter.com/monitor), which we will regularly use to let community members know about our work. Twice in the first year (and every year), we will publish detailed reports on s progress toward satisfying the Consent Decree s requirements. Four times during the first year, on dates in April, July and October 2018 and January 2019, we will hold community meetings in different areas of the City, which will be followed by formal presentations to the Court regarding s progress (on April 13, July 26 and October 9, 2018, and January 19, 2019). We will also conduct a comprehensive community survey that will gauge community and officer views about performance and needs. Finally, we will continue to meet informally with community members to discuss our work with small groups, as we seek and receive invitations to attend meetings of community organizations, and with individual stakeholders. In addition to establishing how the will communicate with the community, the implicitly establishes a protocol for communications with, the City and DOJ. For each deliverable in the, there is a prescribed give-and-take involving the and the parties. In addition, while the may communicate with only one party to facilitate compliance logistics and administration as needed, the and the parties agree that the compliance process is a collaborative one, so for any meetings, telephone calls or electronic communications that address how is expected to achieve compliance, the will include all parties. How the Developed the Since our appointment by Judge James K. Bredar on October 3, 2017, the has learned a lot about and how it currently functions. In meetings and at community forums, we have spent significant time hearing from community members to understand how they view, what they believe the s priorities ought to be under the Consent Decree, what they want to know from the, and what they believe the Consent Decree can and cannot achieve. In meetings, on ride-alongs, and in preliminary focus group sessions, we have also spent time with command staff, supervisors, union leadership, and rank-and-file officers to obtain their views about the measures already has adopted to achieve reform, the iv Draft First-Year January 8, 2018
Consent Decree requirements that are achievable in the short term, s long-term needs for satisfying other Consent Decree requirements, and the challenges officers face as they seek to protect communities afflicted by violent crime. In addition, we have reviewed a substantial number of documents, including existing policies and training curricula, to gauge what is doing and intends to do to comply with the Consent Decree. Using the Consent Decree as our guide, and relying on our own experience monitoring other consent decrees and overseeing other police reform efforts, we considered all of this information and drafted a that accounts for what should do, and what it is capable of doing, in the first year of monitoring. Correspondingly, we drafted an Overview of Subsequent Years that outlines what must do in the following years. As the Consent Decree requires, we then consulted with, the City, and DOJ to obtain their feedback on the preliminary draft of the, made the recommended adjustments we felt were warranted, and rejected others. The result is the attached document: a that charts in detail what we expect and the City to work on, deliver, and implement in the first year, and generally outlines what and the City must do in the years to come, to achieve full and effective compliance with the Consent Decree. How the Is Structured The responsible for assessing s compliance with the Consent Decree and for creating the to facilitate that assessment includes specialists in policing and police reform, civil rights enforcement, psychology, social science, organizational change, data and technology, and community engagement. The leadership of the includes Kenneth Thompson, the Monitor; Charles Ramsey, Principal Deputy Monitor; Seth Rosenthal, Deputy Monitor; Theron Bowman, Deputy Monitor; and Hassan Aden, Deputy Monitor. Mr. Thompson oversees the entire project and is the final decision-maker for the. Mr. Ramsey assists Mr. Thompson in his general oversight role. So does Mr. Rosenthal, who is the principal drafter of the s public reports, manages the bulk of the s administration, and oversees responsibilities in the areas of community engagement and First Amendment-protected activities. Mr. Bowman and Mr. Aden are also responsible for directly overseeing responsibilities in certain areas. Mr. Bowman manages responsibilities for community policing, stop/search/arrest, impartial policing, interactions with people with behavioral health disabilities and in crisis, sexual assault investigations, recruitment, and technology. Mr. Aden manages responsibilities for use of force, transportation of persons in custody, interactions with youth, coordination with school police, misconduct/discipline, supervision-policies, supervision-training, supervision and early intervention systems, staffing and promotions, and officer assistance and support.

Row 1 First-Year 2 General Notes: For all deadlines established below, the Monitor and Parties agree that the deadlines might, in some instances, need to be extended by a brief interval to allow or accommodate unforeseen circumstances or unexpected, minor delays. Accordingly, if and only if all of the Monitor, United States, and the City agree that an extension for any of the deadlines outlined below is warranted and acceptable, the deadline may be extended by an interval of fourteen (14) calendar days without receiving formal approval of the Court for an extension of the deadline. No deadline may be extended by more than fourteen (14)) calendar days without approval of the Court. If any or all of this 14-day period is used, the Monitor will formally notify the Court of the deadline extension(s). The extension of any specific deadline, or deadlines, will not change or otherwise affect any other deadline. Unless the identifies problems with a deadline extension or otherwise raises issued with the Court, none of the Parties, the Court, or the public should interpret changes in deadlines to reflect problems in implementation or a lack of progress. Instead, all should understand that, for progress to be comprehensive and enduring, it may be necessary to take more time initially to refine policies, procedures, or training so that progress, ultimately, is faster, more effective, and more efficient. 3 For purposes of the following deadlines, and unless otherwise expressly noted to the contrary, "semi-annual" means two times per year at a pace of once per six months. "Annual" means once per calendar year. "Bi-weekly" means once every two calendar weeks. "Monthly" means once per calendar month. "Days" means calendar days.
