commissioner chan: ok. i want to commend you again for promulgating a rule that would require members of the department to identify themselves. which of course raises the matter of individual officers which as you know during my stint on the commission was always a matter of concern that rules be promulgated so that members would clearly understand their rights and obligations under the d.t.o.'s. where do you -- that being done and it's already been raised in previous conversations here, regarding the role of civilian oversight, the section 5-b-5 of the m.o.u. contains a standard that had caused me and my colleagues at the h.r.c. some concern that the f.b.i. here states that whether there's a conflict between standards or requirements of the participating agents in the f.b.i., the standard or requirement that provides the, quote, greatest organizational protection or benefit will apply. unless the organizations jointly resolve the conflict otherwise. is it your intention in the part of the command staff tha

commissioner chan: great. >> for public comment and obviously since it's a draft, however long it takes after september 15 being at this commission, that's how long it will take until we can make it department policy. commissioner chan: great. that sounds like a better process than having a commission hearing on this because it involves the community in a more thorough way. i would suggest that maybe one or two commissioners participate in this, as these forums are happening throughout the summer, try to attend them and if we can rotate and have at least one commissioner or two commissioners at each of these forums so we're engaged and hear the feedback, too with, and it's not being reported back thousand. president mazzucco: i agree. it's a good idea. obviously we have the quorum requirements and obviously we all can't go and will to break it up and go two at a time with the chief's invitation and we see the general order and see it the night for passage tonight and you are the definition of community policin

commissioner chan, as part of her outreach, was on her sales goal. folk to three of the district captains, ones we asked the pilot, commissioner chan encouraged them to identify people who would be volunteers and encourage the captain to go out and talk up the program. so that's the way it's going to go. the goal is -- and the commission resolution is 20% to 25% of the entire patrol force be trained so the initial goal, training sessions are set at approximately 25 officers and the reason for the small number is that they have a lot of time to work through interactions scenarios, practice escalation techniques, improve their skills so when they go out on the field, they have additional confidence and training in that ability. so the classes would be -- scheduled to be 25 persons per class approximately. we would wait a month after the first class, see what works, what we can do better, incorporate that into the second class and move from there and kind of rule the program out as it goes. >> with the second class being when? >> approximately the goal

a week later commissioner chan, chief schmidt and a group of stakeholders met with chief sir. as a result of his action and direction, bulletin number 11-11 13 was issued. i believe the commission has already seen that bulletin. what that bulletin was, was simply an interim measure until we got the program up and running. chief was concerned there was nothing in place. there wasn't enough in place so he acted immediately as part of that meeting within his first week of the administration to get that bulletin out. so that is out and being implemented at this time. so we have started -- or scheduled ones with 15 members interested. that took place in memphis. members of the working group found that very interesting and very productive. so we started to schedule those and moving those to the process. so that's been done. sergeant laura knight, sergeant jennifer jackson to the academy has been assigned to work through the committee to get that through and post as quickly as possible. also from the academy, officer phil helmer is working on the pt st aspect of it, how to deal with
