message on the naco list serves. >> i would like to be included as a contact. >> i will pull in contacts i met at the conference. >> wonderful. great. thank you. >> i just had one other item and this would be jur are germane to the public and need not be the very next meeting but it fairly urgent about [coughing] resignation because of conflict issues so i want to make sure we are paying attention to jail health. >> sorry, i couldn't hear what you said? >> i want to have the jail health issue on a future agenda item but not necessarily the very next item, but given the dph had-had a jail health resignation and potential conflicts with having a second job. whether we were paying close attention as we should to jail health. >> okay. we will need to have the issue of recruitment of the inspector general on the agenda i believe, because- >> yes. i agree with commissioner carrion. i think we should have a timeline and firm benchmarks. i think commissioner afuhaamang said that at the very first meeting that we should have-- >> (inaudible) >> wrap up the last issue, i like to call the question

we also attended the naco conference between october 13th and the 17th. it was a great conference.re were a lot of very helpful courses that we attended and but i think the big positive of the naco conference was just getting an opportunity to meet oversight professionals from all over the country, and really talking to them about, you know, what our challenges are, what their challenges are, and some of the things that are going real well with their operations and so it was it was great. it was very, very great conference and met a lot of good people. and we had a really it was it was a good time. so that is our report for october. and as i say, i, i'm very i'm really happy that we went to visit the women's jail because i think that. i am moved by the fact that, that in doing our assessments of both the men and the women's jail, i'm not hearing about i'm not hearing a lot of complaints about mistreatment and i'm, you know, i've only heard so far about people being treated in a very professional manner. and like i said, on the women's side, the complaint was that they're too nice.

but if you contact cameron mcelhaney, the executive director of naco, who knows more than anyone else about what's going on with oversight agencies around the country and about the resources and staffing and funding they need. she can, i think, give you a lot of useful information and put you in touch with people who potentially can write the letters of support, perhaps call. well, i guess they can't call into the meetings, but write in to the board of supervisors emphasizing why you need this, these this investigative staff. you know, i agree that could be a very helpful strategy. i just want to add, yeah, i just i want to make sure that we're moving along because we have some reports and i want to recognize a member of mango. oh, yeah. yeah. no, i just wanted to, restate what inspector wiley had said. he's a person of one. and i think until he has this appropriate staff needed to help him do his work, we got to maybe. maybe we as a board can help bring that support, you know. so yeah, i think it's more important for, you know, local support. we do have community, and then one thing

i was one of the panelists, along with the naco director of policefennell and accountability, hansel aguilar. and we focused on and had a conversation about racial equity in police oversight. and the importance of racial equitylices very valuable. program that we participate in that day. and i want to thank president sue and board who both attended and engaged in the discus abo these issues. and so it was really, really a valuable, program to participate in. and then i'll end by saying that, unfortunate. early on may 2 we had a death in custody, while the inmate was constructively in the sheriff's department's custody, he was actually under the care of doctors in zuckerberg general hospital. so he died at the hospital, and, hl conditions, and i can't publicly comment any further on that investigation, but we're continuing to follow the investigationte that within 20 minutes of his passing, we were notified by the sheriff's department of this incident, which bodes well for, that kind omming on between the inspector general and the sheriff's department. thank you. thank you, do we have

you should consider reaching out to some of the board members of naco and others in the organization.the executive recruitment firm, and perhaps they're already do this sort of thing. >> thank you, another question i have is you were asked about the time frame could you each if you recall give us the time frame for the other informations? --positions and whether that was handled to a recruitment firm or through internally through a city or community's department of human resources? >> this is going back more than 20 years and i want to say that i'm not putting up the hiring practices used by washington or new york as best practices necessarily but the time frame to answer your question, i believe i got an offer in, i'm sorry, started off, so i'm a little hazy on the exact month. but i want to say that it was nine months for from me applying to when i started off the agency, that was a three quarters of near easily maybe off a month or two. and there was a lot of pressure because of i'll be honest on this, the board took their time and in getting hiring process up and running. so a lot

naco would have been a perfect opportunity to say that we have encountered a number of crisis here and we are trying to move forward and we are having some successes. we know there is a long road to get there, but i would suggest we definitely get there and say the progress we are making and certainly to be able to say that it was a huge benchmark for us to pass our new use of force policy. that's my suggestion. >> thank you, dr. marshall. commissioner hwang? >> two things, the 2 cases that the investigation was making about the charges to the commission. i don't know if the commission was aware of those cases. i don't know if you can present them in closed session in case there is a pattern we need to be looking for, right? just a thought. >> yes, commissioner hwang, should the city attorney indicate that it's appropriate to bring those matters to closed session, certainly, i would be happy to report them. the investigations were completed. the allegations were sustained, and in both cases, the officers determined it was time to leave. but it's really important when even if we have a

department of justice top office released a report entitled top civilian report on law enforcement, and so naco was the lead drafting agency for that report, and they drew from a database of 97 civilian oversight programs to identify core issues in the field. right now, my staff is going through that report to determine whether or not there are best practices that we can adopt to confirm our progress with that report. it's a publicly available report. i've shared it with the chief and the commissioners in case you want to look at it before we talk about it at some point in the future. yesterday, d.p.a. launched its new website, so i'm really happy to announce the new website that went live yesterday, and i'd like to give a special thank you to the city administrator's office and her digital services team. their assistance and expertise helps us bring both clarity, functionality and support to the website in ways that we did not have in the past with the website that we had. but ultimately, all of those efficiencies speak to benefits for the public and for our commission, as well. the new websit
