FROM: Michele Beal Bagneris, City Attorney
SUBJECT: INFORMATIONAL ITEM - REPORT BY INDEPENDENT POLICE AUDITOR FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022-23
RECOMMENDATION:
This report is provided for informational purposes only; no action is required at this time.
BACKGROUND:
In October 2020, the City Council adopted an ordinance creating a Community Police Oversight Commission, as well as an Independent Police Auditor.
The IPA is retained by the City Attorney, but reports to the City Council per Pasadena Municipal Code Section 2.30(020)(A)(8). The IPA's duties include, among other things, serving as a best-practices advisor to the Commission, reviewing categorical uses of force by Pasadena Police Department officers, reviewing investigations of personnel complaints of bias-based policing, and recommending changes to PPD policies, procedures, or officer training.
In May 2022, the City Council approved a contract for Richard Rosenthal to serve as the IPA after the departure of the previous IPA.
This agenda item is Mr. Rosenthal's first report to the City Council. The attached presentation summarizes the work Mr. Rosenthal has produced individually and in collaboration with the Community Police Oversight Commission, such as his published assessment of the Police Department's Categorical Use of Force Investigations, during the fiscal year of 2022-23, and gives a forecast for the upcoming fiscal year of 2023-24.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no anticipated fiscal impact on the proposed action. 06/12/2023 AGENDA ITEM NO. 26
