Agenda Report

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: City Attorney/City Prosecutor's Department
SUBJECT: INFORMATIONAL ITEM - ANNUAL REPORT BY INDEPENDENT POLICE AUDITOR FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023-24
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 (CPOC), as well as an Independent Police Auditor (IPA). 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 (PPD) 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, Ph.D. to serve as the IPA after the departure of the previous IPA.
This agenda item is Dr. Rosenthal's second annual report to the City Council. The attached presentation summarizes the work Mr. Rosenthal accomplished individually and in collaboration with the CPOC in FY 2023-24, which includes the recent publication of his assessment related to the Pasadena Police Department's personnel complaint handling process.
