Executive Summary

This Proposal to serve as the Independent Monitor for the Cleveland Division of Police
(“CDP”) is submitted to the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and the City of
Cleveland (“the City”) by a committed team of professionals led by the seasoned
attorneys of the investigation and litigation law firm of Martin & Gitner, PLLC, and the
world renowned intelligence, investigations and advisory services firm Kroll. Both
entities and each member of the Monitoring Team have proven experience in, and share
a deep commitment to, ensuring the institutional integrity of law enforcement agencies,
and promoting the principle of effective partnerships between communities and the
police who serve them. In the role of Monitor, this team will seek to serve the interests
of the Court, the parties and the public through our commitment to those principles of
integrity and partnership.
Our Monitoring Team will be led by Billy Martin of Martin & Gitner. Mr. Martin is
uniquely qualified to lead the monitorship of the CDP. Mr. Martin began his career as a
local prosecutor for the City of Cincinnati before serving as an Assistant U.S. Attorney
for the Southern District of Ohio, where he managed the Dayton Branch of that office.
He later served as a Senior Trial Attorney for the Department of Justice in San Francisco
and Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney in the District of Columbia, where he
investigated and supervised numerous allegations of excessive use of force and other
misconduct by officers of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department. After entering
private practice, Mr. Martin was retained by the City of Cincinnati to investigate an
alleged pattern and practice of excessive use of force by the Cincinnati Police
Department and to supervise a comprehensive review of all major police department
policies, including use of force and training. Mr. Martin participated in the selection of
an Independent Monitor for the Cincinnati Police Department, and worked closely with
the Monitor in carrying out necessary reforms.
In addition to representing the City of Cincinnati, Mr. Martin’s practice has included
working with police unions and representing numerous law enforcement officers
accused of misconduct, as well as representing defendants in a wide variety of criminal
matters. As an active member of the Ohio state bar, Mr. Martin has also represented
clients in Cleveland and throughout the state of Ohio. He is fully familiar with the City
and its diverse communities. Mr. Martin’s rich and varied experience as a local and
federal prosecutor in Ohio and as a lawyer who has both investigated the conduct of
police departments for DOJ, and represented a major Ohio City and Police Department
under a federal monitor, uniquely prepares him to appreciate and address the issues
1

 that are the subject of this monitorship from the perspectives of all of the various
stakeholders, including members of the CDP, Cleveland city officials, the Department
of Justice and the Cleveland community.
Our proposed team supporting Mr. Martin includes seven other former federal
prosecutors with extensive integrity monitoring experience of police departments and
other large public and private organizations; four former senior police officials
including a Chief, Deputy Chief, Captain and Lieutenant; a law professor whose
research and writing has focused on community policing and procedure and who
previously served as both a senior police officer and a federal prosecutor; and two
former Special Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, one of whom also served
as the first ever Inspector General of New York State. Members of this team have
served on seven monitorships and operational reviews of Police Departments, as well
as eighteen other monitorships across a wide range of industry sectors. In addition, our
proposed team includes in-house information technology professionals to advise the
CDP on data management and to assist the Monitoring Team in analyzing the CDP’s
data to assess its implementation of the requirements of the Consent Decree. We also
have in-house language specialists covering every language identified in the most
recent census report for the Cleveland population. Finally, our team includes members
of the Cleveland community serving as both local counsel and as community survey
experts to perform the biennial survey projects required by the Consent Decree.
In sum, we are confident that our team has the law enforcement, monitoring and
technical experience and expertise to “assess and report” on whether the requirements
of the Consent Decree have been implemented, and whether the implementation of
those requirements has resulted in constitutional and effective policing, professional
treatment of all individuals, and increased trust of the CDP by the diverse communities
of Cleveland.

 II.

Personnel

We describe below the core members of our Monitoring Team and their respective
roles. As will be seen, our core team is comprised of seasoned professionals with deep
backgrounds in law enforcement, civil rights investigations and integrity monitoring.
Beyond these core team members, Kroll will be able to enlist all of the analytical and
logistical support necessary from its nationwide (and global) staff as needed.
A. Billy Martin – Monitor
Billy Martin’s long and distinguished career is rooted in Ohio. After graduating from
the University of Cincinnati School of Law, Mr. Martin enjoyed a lengthy and
distinguished career as a state and federal prosecutor, beginning as an assistant city
prosecutor with the Cincinnati Law Department, later managing the Dayton office of
the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Ohio, and concluding as the third
ranking member of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia. In his final
government position in D.C., a unique U.S. Attorney’s office that also serves as the local
prosecutor for the District, Mr. Martin worked closely with the D.C. Metropolitan Police
Department (“MPD”) in many matters, including establishing the first Homicide unit in
the prosecutor’s office. At the same time he was working with the MPD, Mr. Martin
oversaw an investigation of numerous allegations of excessive use of force and other
misconduct by officers of the MPD.
After entering private practice, Mr. Martin was retained by the City of Cincinnati when
it faced allegations and concerns similar to those involved in the current matter in
Cleveland. As outside counsel to the City, Mr. Martin conducted an internal
investigation and review of an alleged pattern and practice of excessive use of force by
the Cincinnati Police Department. Mr. Martin’s work mirrored the work of the
Independent Monitor in that matter and he was responsible for working with the
Monitor on behalf of the City. As part of his responsibility in the matter, Mr. Martin
was involved in the design and implementation of a collaborative approach to settling
the numerous complaints and concerns of specific litigants and the broader community
in Cincinnati.
Mr. Martin has also worked with both concerned members of communities and police
officers and unions in a variety of other matters and frequently speaks on matters of
constitutional policing and community access to justice. Mr. Martin is regularly ranked
among the top trial attorneys in the nation and has won awards for his service to the
community and to principles of diversity in the law. While based in Washington D.C.,
3

 Mr. Martin regularly returns to Ohio to represent clients and to appear as an invited
speaker on panel discussions before attorneys, judges and the community at large.

Qualifications

As the biographical descriptions of the core members of our Monitoring Team in the
preceding section make clear, the members of our team are distinguished career law
enforcement and technical professionals with impeccable credentials who possess all of
the qualifications required to perform the duties of the Independent Monitor of the
CDP.
A. Monitoring the Performance of Organizations
Our Monitoring team possesses unsurpassed experience in major integrity monitoring
engagements of police departments and other complex organizations. The proposed
monitor, former federal prosecutor Billy Martin, represented the City of Cincinnati and
its Police Department in negotiations with the DOJ over a consent decree which
resulted in the selection of an Independent Monitor for the Cincinnati Police
Department. Mr. Martin’s internal investigation and review on behalf of the City
mirrored that of the Monitor and included extensive data and statistical analysis. Mr.
Martin then cooperated with the Monitor in carrying out mandated reforms of the
department.
Former federal prosecutor and proposed deputy monitor Richard Faughnan and former
FBI Special Agent, New York State Inspector General and proposed deputy monitor
Joseph Spinelli, between them, have led a total of sixteen other monitorships of major
public and private organizations (listed and described in the next section), including
monitoring the demolition and debris removal at the World Trade Center site in the
immediate aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks, monitoring multi-billion dollar
disaster relief and infrastructure projects for the State of New Jersey and the New York
Metropolitan Transportation Authority, monitoring two stock exchanges for the
Securities and Exchange Commission, monitoring the special education program of the
New York City Department of Education pursuant to a federal consent decree, and
monitoring major corporations in the construction, transportation, stevedoring, retail,
information technology and professional services industries.
Finally, former federal prosecutors and legal experts William Nugent and Mark Ehlers,
and former FBI Special Agent and law enforcement expert Robert Huff, led or played
key roles in the monitorships and operational reviews of six police departments,
including the Los Angeles Police Department; the Pennsylvania State Police; the North
Carolina State Highway Patrol; the Delaware River Port Authority Department of

11

 Public Safety; the Borough of Barrington, New Jersey Police Department; and the New
York Metropolitan Transit Authority, Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority Police.
Our team, therefore, has extensive experience overseeing major, multi-year
monitorships of public and private organizations and programs, including police
departments. All of these monitorships involved testing organizational change through
outcome measures, as well as developing effective quality improvement practices for
those entities and programs. Combining all of this experience, including Mr. Martin’s
experience representing an Ohio police department being monitored, our team
understands what will be involved in monitoring the CDP both from the perspective of
the Monitor, and from the perspective of the police department and City, which we
believe will serve to make our team a more effective Monitor.
B. Law Enforcement Practices
Our Monitoring Team’s former senior prosecutors, police officials and academics also
have deep experience with and broad understanding of law enforcement practices,
including training, community and problem-oriented policing, use of force
investigations and constitutional policing.
As noted above, our team boasts eight former federal prosecutors, four of whom also
served as state prosecutors, with experience monitoring and/or investigating police
practices, especially use of force. In particular, in their role as federal prosecutors,
Messrs. Martin, Faughnan and Cramer all investigated and prosecuted major use of
force cases while with the DOJ.
Our four police experts (retired Chief Rodney Monroe, Deputy Chief Lou Reiter,
Captain Timothy Horner and Lieutenant Natashia Tidwell) all have experience with
community and problem-oriented policing strategies and programs. Former Chief
Monroe and former Lieutenant (and now Professor) Tidwell, in particular, spearheaded
community policing initiatives in their respective police departments, and Professor
Tidwell has made community policing one of her areas of concentration in her academic
career. Former Deputy Chief Reiter and Professor Tidwell have both been deeply
involved in police training, with Mr. Reiter conducting 24 to 30 training programs per
year for police departments nationwide and Professor Tidwell, while a Lieutenant with
the Cambridge, Massachusetts Police Department, having served as Director of the
Police Academy where she coordinated the department’s training curriculum and
participated in the review and re-drafting of numerous policies and procedures.
Deputy Chief Reiter, Captain Horner and Professor Tidwell all served in their
12

 department’s Internal Affairs divisions for part of their police careers, and were
involved in use of force and other police misconduct investigations.
Finally, former FBI Special Agent Huff was a key member of the Kroll team monitoring
the Los Angeles Police Department for issues relating to use of force, training, search
and arrest procedure, use of confidential informants, initiation of complaints, internal
affairs and programs for responding to mental illness.
C. Evaluating Organizational Change and Improvement Practices
Chief Rodney Monroe has led reviews and organizational changes in large police
departments for many years. Employing statistical analysis, setting benchmarks, and
initiating community outreach have all been hallmarks of Chief Monroe’s efforts to
improve the organizations under his command. Billy Martin and many members of our
team have participated in numerous monitorships as described below, many of which
included metrics of organizational change and improvement. For example, as
discussed more fully below, Joseph Spinelli has monitored and measured mandated
organizational changes in such agencies as the New York City Department of
Education’s system for implementing special education impartial hearing orders, as
well as two stock exchanges whose practices were deemed deficient by the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
D. Mediation and Dispute Resolution
Billy Martin has had extensive experience during the course of his career with
mediation and dispute resolution. Most pertinent to the monitorship of the CDP, Mr.
Martin, while representing the City of Cincinnati and the Cincinnati Police Department,
drafted and negotiated the consent decree with the DOJ establishing an Independent
Monitor for the Cincinnati Police Department, and then worked closely with the
Monitor to ensure that reforms were implemented. In addition, he assisted in
coordinating a unique collaborative process to settle a number of civil law suits filed
against Cincinnati, which were part of the DOJ’s investigation. Finally, Mr. Martin
currently sits on the Board of the American Arbitration Association.
Local Counsel Robert Fogarty also has extensive experience in mediation and
arbitration. Mr. Fogarty serves as a panel member of the American Arbitration
Association. He also served as a member of the Federal Court Panel of Alternative
Dispute Resolution Neutrals for the Northern District of Ohio for 22 years.

 E. Statistical and Data Analysis
For the biannual statistical surveys required by the Consent Decree, the Monitoring
Team will utilize the services of the CRI at BW University, which has performed
numerous community surveys in northeastern Ohio and is led by Professor Tom Sutton
and Associate Professor Lauren Copeland of BW University, who serve as Director and
Associate Director of the CRI. The CRI’s expertise has been recognized in numerous
projects, including a successful survey performed under a prior consent decree in the
Northern District of Ohio.
F. Information Technology and Data Management
Kroll has the knowledge and experience in-house to analyze both complex structured
and unstructured data. Our information technology experts can readily extract, process
and manage complex data sets pulled from the CDP’s records, reports, filings,
recordings, transcripts and other documentation, and organize them into a secure,
searchable database, structured to leverage sophisticated analytic tools to support and
facilitate the Monitoring Team’s assessments.
Using software designed for complex investigations and litigation, our information and
technology experts will not only enable our team to organize the diverse media and
documentation provided by the CDP into a well-structured database, but will use a
suite of tools to classify and sort seemingly disparate data sources based on their
linguistic and semantic content. This analysis will help us extract maximum value and
understanding from CDP materials, potentially identifying ongoing issues and trends
that may otherwise be missed. These tools include concept-based search and document
clustering, automated content categorization and other predictive coding features, and
enhanced keyword expansion. These tools enable us to move beyond known search
constructs to identify previously unknown and unexpected information and patterns
within large data sets.
Kroll is also expert at collecting and analyzing structured data sets, providing clients
further insight into the underlying information. Our information technology experts can
collect from a wide range of commercial and proprietary databases, and can quickly
provide deep analysis and forecasting based on that data. Through leveraging SQL
queries and other tools, we can help assess the impact of various observations and data
points, and can provide detailed, evidence-based analyses and reports, including visual
documentation such as tables, graphs, scatter plots (with trend lines), and various
matrices tailored to the needs of the Monitoring Team.
14

 At Kroll, all client data is hosted in our secure, state-of-the-art Data Centers in Eden
Prairie, Minnesota. Our control framework is based on the industry standard best
practices defined in the ISO 27000 series on information security and risk management,
and incorporates other best practices such as OWASP, Cloud Security Alliance and
Software Assurance Maturity Model. Kroll also adheres to a formal Information
Security Policy that establishes company-wide requirements for secure design,
management, and operations of the enterprise computer, networks and information
systems. Organizational, Human Capital and Physical Security requirements are all
included in the Information Security Policy.
G. Working with Government Agencies, Municipalities and Collective
Bargaining Units
Having held senior positions in various state and federal law enforcement agencies and
collectively having performed 25 monitorships for numerous government agencies,
departments and courts, the members of our Monitoring Team have vast experience
working with government agencies and municipalities. We understand government
and how it works, and are adept at working cooperatively with government officials to
get things done.
While Mr. Martin has overseen major investigations of police misconduct allegations,
he has also worked in private practice with police department and city management, as
well as officer unions and union members as well.
In addition, Kroll has both monitored and performed investigations and compliance
work for unions and collective bargaining units. Kroll was the monitor of Local One of
the Plumbers Union, and has performed investigations for District Council 37 of the
Service Employees International Union, which represents New York City government
employees; Service Employees Union Local 100; and the Patrolmen’s Benevolent
Association (the bargaining unit for New York City Police Officers). Kroll has
performed compliance work for Local 1199 of the Service Employees International
Union, which represents New York City hospital workers.
H. Language Skills and Experience Working with Limited English Proficient
Persons and Communities
Kroll is an international intelligence, investigations and advisory firm with offices in
nearly 30 countries and with in-house staff fluent in 32 languages, including all of the
languages identified in the most recent census report for the Cleveland population. We
are accustomed to working with non-English speaking persons, and are very familiar
15

 with Spanish speaking populations. Indeed, we have several offices in Spanish
speaking countries. There will be no language barriers for our Monitoring Team.
I. Familiarity with and Understanding of Local Issues and Conditions
Billy Martin and our team’s local counsel, Robert Fogarty, are fully familiar with local
issues and conditions in Cleveland, as are our proposed biennial survey partners, the
CRI at BW University. First, Mr. Fogarty is a respected leader in the legal community
in Cleveland. Mr. Fogarty’s firm, Hahn Loeser, was founded in Cleveland in 1920 and
remains committed to Cleveland and other Ohio communities. Hahn Loeser’s
commitment to being of service to varied communities in Cleveland and around Ohio
include such pro bono efforts as partnering with the Legal Aid Society to provide
assistance to low-income tenants in landlord-tenant disputes, participating in
community drop-in clinics, and taking a leadership role in the Ohio Wills for Heroes
program, providing free estate planning for first responders.
Second, Mr. Martin has maintained his ties to Ohio since attending law school and
beginning his legal career there. Mr. Martin regularly returns to Ohio, including to
Cleveland, to represent clients and speak on various panels regarding issues that
include constitutional policing. Mr. Martin maintains good relationships with active
members of various communities in Ohio, including in Cleveland.
Finally, the work of the CRI is to gauge the attitudes and opinions of citizens of
Cleveland and surrounding areas on various issues and conditions. BW University
maintains significant involvement with the Cleveland community and recruits and
admits students from all over the City and surrounding areas. The University has a
sincere and respected commitment to diversity and to supporting the youth of
Cleveland, including a partnership with a high school in Cleveland at which the
University mentors students from 9th grade through graduation, resulting in a 100%
graduation rate.
J. Effective Engagement with Diverse Communities
Mr. Martin has worked throughout his career to promote effective engagement with
diverse communities. From his days managing a branch office of federal prosecutors
through the present, Mr. Martin speaks regularly with community groups and on panel
discussions about issues related to access to justice, constitutional policing and other
matters. Most recently Mr. Martin was asked to speak at the conference of the American
Arbitration Association on a panel discussion of access to justice issues and
organizational social responsibility. As past president of the Washington Bar
16

 Association, Mr. Martin led an organization committed to providing pro bono services
and partnerships with disadvantaged communities. While representing the City of
Cincinnati and its police department through the implementation of a consent decree,
Mr. Martin spent considerable time meeting with community leaders, clergy and
individual citizens from communities impacted by the issues relevant to the consent
decree and collaborative agreement, as well as police department rank and file and
management.
Chief Monroe has extensive experience initiating and implementing various community
engagement programs during his career. For instance, in his most recent post, Chief
Monroe established Leadership Councils to develop community leaders to assist in
devising community-based crime reduction strategies.
He established 24 new
Neighborhood Watch Programs and eight new Business Watch Programs in 2011 alone,
and developed several educational awareness initiatives to improve the community’s
understanding of various aspects of law enforcement operations and to increase citizen
participation.
Professor Tidwell’s experience with community engagement began early in her law
enforcement career, when she was among the first in her Department to implement the
community engagement role of school resource officer.
Since entering academia,
Professor Tidwell has also written and spoken on the relationship between police
departments and diverse communities. Currently, Professor Tidwell advises cities and
their police departments in various roles on the engagement between law enforcement
and the communities they serve.
Another member of our team, former Captain Timothy Horner, led a number of
community outreach initiatives while with the New York City Police Department.
These included reorganizing the Community Outreach Program for the NYPD,
establishing liaisons in every borough of New York City for communities and ethnic
groups, initiating the “National Night Out” Program, and beginning the “Work
Employment Program” in Brooklyn, which established 300 jobs in local precincts for
welfare recipients. Likewise, former New York Inspector General Joseph Spinelli
established several community-based programs during his tenure as Inspector General,
including the “Adopt-a-School” Program, which has been replicated in 17 cities around
the country, and the “Drug-Free School Zone” Program.

17

 K. Creation and Evaluation of Meaningful Civilian Oversight
One of our Team’s police experts and academic consultants, Professor Natasha Tidwell,
for the past four years has served on the City of Boston’s Community Ombudsman
Oversight Panel. As an Ombudsman, she has reviewed dozens of internal affairs
investigations and issued recommendations to the Boston Police Department for
improvements in the investigatory process, as well as refinements and clarifications of
the use-of-force reporting requirements. Professor Tidwell is currently working with
Boston city officials and the community on an objective feasibility study of expanding
the scope of the oversight panel’s duties beyond case review and oversight to include
independent investigations, disciplinary recommendations and a mediation component.
L. Familiarity with Federal, Ohio, and Local Laws, including Civil Rights
Laws and Policies and Rules Governing Police Practices
Our Monitoring team boasts eight former federal prosecutors who are well-versed in
federal criminal and civil rights laws. Two of our former federal prosecutors have
practiced law in Ohio throughout their careers. Our proposed monitor, Billy Martin,
served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney and local prosecutor in Cincinnati, Ohio, and
managed the Dayton, Ohio branch of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District
of Ohio. After leaving government service, Mr. Martin represented the City of
Cincinnati and the Cincinnati Police Department in the DOJ’s investigation of an
alleged pattern and practice of excessive use of force by members of the Cincinnati
Police Department. In private practice, Mr. Martin has also tried both criminal and civil
cases in the federal courts of Cleveland and the state and federal courts of other Ohio
cities.
Robert Fogarty, our team’s local counsel, also served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in
the Southern District of Ohio, and is currently co-chair of Cleveland law firm Hahn
Loeser's Litigation Practice. He has tried numerous cases in both state and federal
courts in Ohio, and has handled appeals in the Ohio Courts of Appeal, the Ohio
Supreme Court, and the Fifth and Sixth Circuit Courts of Appeal.
Our four police experts have each spent their lengthy and distinguished careers as
senior police officials, consultants and academics addressing the policies and rules
governing police practices. The recently retired Chief Rodney Monroe has 30 years of
experience formulating and implementing policies and rules for the police departments
he has led, including enhanced strategies for community policing. Deputy Chief Lou
Reiter has trained police departments nationwide focusing on police policies and rules
18

 on use of force, internal affairs and police discipline. Professor Natashia Tidwell
teaches a course on the relationship between police and inner city communities with
particular focus on excessive force, “stop and frisk” and other constitutional issues. She
has also researched and published scholarship relating to community policing and
procedural justice. Since 2011, Professor Tidwell has served as both an advisor to the
Commissioner of the Cambridge Police Department, and as a two-time mayoral
appointee to a board tasked with ensuring fairness and thoroughness in the internal
affairs process for the Boston Police Department. Earlier in her career, while serving as
a Lieutenant with the Cambridge Police Department, Professor Tidwell also served as
Police Academy Director, where she coordinated the department’s training curriculum
and participated in the review and re-drafting of numerous policies and procedures.
Finally, former Captain Timothy Horner served in command positions within the
Intelligence, Internal Affairs, Community Affairs and Patrol Divisions of the New York
City Police Department. Since retiring from the department, Captain Horner has
advised the department on proactive crime prevention policies for community outreach
and crisis response strategies.
M. Completing Projects within Anticipated Deadlines and Budgets
Our team has vast experience with managing deadlines and budgets for multi-year
monitorships of the magnitude of the monitorship of the CDP, having performed 25
prior monitorships. Just as a recent example, the monitorship of New Jersey’s Super
Storm Sandy $3.3 billion relief programs was similar in that we were working under
tight, mandated deadlines and a fixed fee yearly budget for a complex monitoring
effort. We met each of our deadlines and hit our budget target to the dollar.
Accordingly, we understand the importance of deadlines and budgets, and will meet
both.
N. Preparing for and Participating in Court Proceedings
Every member of our core Monitoring Team has extensive experience in court either as
prosecutor, counsel, fact or expert witness, or all of the above. Our core team is
comprised of eight former federal prosecutors and five former senior law enforcement
officials, all of whom have participated in countless court proceedings and all of whom
understand what is involved in effectively preparing for and participating in those
proceedings.

19

 O. Report Writing for a Broad Variety of Stakeholders
Every member of our core Monitoring Team is adept at report writing. Our various
team members have written reports for 25 monitorships, as well as sensitive ethics
reports to the United States Congress. We understand that our reports will be
addressed to multiple stakeholders, including the Court, the DOJ, the City, the CDP and
the press and public. We will draft our reports to be clear, concise and thorough, and to
transparently address all of the issues under the Monitor’s purview as set forth in the
Consent Decree.

Proposed Activities

Under the terms of the Consent Decree, the core responsibility of the Independent
Monitor is to “assess and report” on whether the requirements of the Consent Decree
have been implemented, and whether the implementation of those requirements has
resulted in constitutional and effective policing, professional treatment of all
individuals, and increased trust of the CDP by the diverse communities of Cleveland.
Consent Decree, at p. 80, para. 350. Our Monitoring Team will design and execute all of
our activities to fulfill that responsibility.
The Monitor’s primary tasks under the Consent Decree are: (1) compliance reviews to
determine whether the City and the CDP have incorporated the requirements of the
Consent Decree into policy, have trained all relevant personnel on the requirements,
and are carrying out the requirements in practice; (2) biennial community surveys of the
members of the Cleveland community regarding their experiences with and perceptions
of the CDP and of public safety; (3) outcome measurements, including qualitative and
quantitative assessments to measure whether implementing the Consent Decree has
resulted in constitutional policing; and biannual public reports on the Monitors work
and the progress of the City and the CDP in implementing the requirements of the
Consent Decree and achieving the goals of constitutional policing, professional
treatment of all individuals and increased public trust.
These tasks will require the Monitoring Team to, among other activities, interview City
and CDP officials and employees; review CDP records and data maintained on police
stops, arrests, use of force and crisis intervention; review Internal Affairs reports; attend
regular meetings with the City, CDP, DOJ and the community; attend police training
sessions; accompany CDP patrols on ride-a-longs; perform data analytics on outcome
measurements to assess whether the implementation of the Consent Decree has resulted
in constitutional policing; design and execute community surveys; and prepare
biannual reports on our work and on the CDP’s progress.
Kroll’s in-house information technology professionals will greatly facilitate our ability
to access and analyze the CDP’s records and data, and will also be in a position to make
recommendations to the CDP on its data collection and management system and
processes.
Regarding the biennial community surveys, we will utilize the services of the CRI at
BW University. The CRI will gather data from representative samples of the residents
of the Cleveland community to determine perceptions and experiences of the CDP and
31

 of general public safety. In addition, interviews will be conducted with representative
samples of members of the CDP, CDP leadership and arrestees, based on more specific
parameters provided by the City and DOJ during the design phase of the survey. For
each group, samples will be drawn based on representative demographics (e.g., race,
age, family status, city neighborhood), using the most recent available U.S. Census data.
Community leaders will also be interviewed as part of the project (e.g., city
councilpersons, clergy, community organization leaders, staff at city recreation centers,
staff of the Cleveland Municipal School District).
Subject to consultation with the DOJ, the City and the CDP, the CRI proposes using
multiple data collection methods to develop a comprehensive, accurate depiction of
community perceptions and experiences of the CDP. The CRI proposes conducting a
phone survey, neighborhood walking surveys, focus groups, one-on-one interviews,
and analysis of social media as approaches for effective, comprehensive data gathering.
Phone Survey
A randomized sample phone survey (cell and landline) will capture baseline data of
community perceptions and experiences. Community surveys conducted in areas of
public gathering, such as local shopping areas, parks, and recreation centers help to
capture residents who may not be able to be reached by phone. The survey instrument
will be designed by Drs. Sutton and Copeland, drawing from best practice surveys that
focus on perceptions and experience with safety and local police in urban
neighborhoods. The survey instrument will be available to the Monitoring team and all
parties for review and revision as required. A core set of questions will be used for each
of the three surveys to be administered (2015, 2017, 2019), to provide data that can be
subjected to longitudinal analysis to determine attitudinal changes over time.
Walking Surveys
CRI will conduct walking surveys of communities in targeted areas of Cleveland, using
a survey instrument similar to the phone survey instrument. The purpose of the
walking survey is to supplement the data gathered in the phone survey, capturing
information from residents who may not be as accessible by phone. The walking survey
will focus on gathering data from residents in areas of high public traffic (e.g., shopping
areas, parks, recreation and community centers, food pantries).

32

 Focus Groups
The CRI will conduct focus groups in each neighborhood cluster in the City to gather
qualitative data concerning experiences and perceptions of the CDP. The focus groups
will each consist of 10-15 invited residents of target neighborhoods, hosted at a
neighborhood church or community center. Residents will be recruited through a
question on the phone survey asking if they would like to participate in a focus group
and/or follow up interview. Recruitment will also occur through neighborhood
organizations and religious entities. Each focus group will be audio-recorded and
transcribed. Content analytics software (e.g., Provalis Wordstat) will be used to
determine primary themes across the focus groups, as well as analyze similarities and
differences based on focus group demographics.
Face-to-face Interviews
CRI staff will conduct face-to-face interviews with a sample of officers and leadership of
the CDP, using an interview instrument designed to gather information about their
views of community perceptions of public safety and experience with the CDP. The CRI
will also conduct interviews with a sample of detained arrestees to gather information
about their experience with the CDP. Interview protocols will be designed to ensure
that reliable data is collected while providing protection of subject confidentiality.
Interviewers will be drawn from the BW faculty and external agencies with staff with
requisite experience, supervised by the CRI Director and Associate Director.
Continual Communication
Ongoing data will also be gathered through periodic contact with neighborhood
residents, community leaders, elected officials, CDP officers and command staff, DOJ
representatives, and others as identified by the Monitor, the City and DOJ. This will
include observation of community meetings, CDP staff meetings and other gatherings
as needed. Relationships developed with residents, community leaders and CDP staff
during the initial period of focus groups and interviews will be used as a baseline for
developing ongoing communication and relationships. The CRI is committed to
maintaining active and open communication and relationships with all parties involved
in the monitoring process.
Social Media Analysis
The CRI will conduct periodic analysis of social media usage by residents of the
Cleveland community to determine trends in discussion of issues of public safety and
33

 perceptions of the CDP. The CRI will use Crimson Hexagon, a service that gathers
communications from social media (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Instagram), and compiles
information by city and topic. While not considered scientific sampling, this is a form of
qualitative data that can be useful in determining trends in social media communication
about public safety across the Cleveland community.
Data from each of these methods will be compiled in a report to the Monitor and the
parties. The report will include presentation of data, analysis of each dataset, and
comparative analysis across datasets. Subsequent surveys (2017 and 2019) will include
longitudinal analysis of data gathered in each cycle to determine changes in attitudes,
perceptions and experience of interview subjects and the community concerning public
safety and the CDP.
Staffing
All aspects of the survey project will be coordinated by the CRI Director, with support
and analytical work conducted by the CRI Associate Director. BW students will be
recruited, trained, and supervised by the CRI leadership and/or affiliated BW faculty
and staff to conduct the phone and walking surveys. The focus groups and one-on-one
interviews will be conducted by the CRI leadership and project affiliated BW faculty
and staff. The one-on-one interviews will likely also include external staffing provided
by individuals with requisite expertise, coordinated by the CRI.
Data analysis and report development will be conducted by the CRI Director and
Associate Director and affiliated BW faculty. BW staffing for the project will be
coordinated with the Monitor. The CRI Director will be responsible for developing and
maintaining communication with the Monitor, the City and DOJ regarding all aspects of
the biennial community survey component.
To perform all of the tasks assigned to the Independent Monitor by the Consent Decree
efficiently and effectively, our Monitoring Team will establish clear lines of
communication with key members of the City and the CDP who will be responsible for
arranging access to department records and data, and arranging meetings with
members of the CDP. We will establish clear lines of communication with DOJ to
facilitate regular informal communications as needed in addition to more formal
meetings. We will also establish lines of communication with the Cleveland community
throughout the performance of the monitorship.

 VI.

Potential Conflicts of Interest or Bias

With one exception, none of the members of our core team have any conflicts or
potential conflicts to report. We bring to the parties’ attention a potential conflict for
our local counsel, Robert Fogarty of Hahn Loeser, which we describe in detail below. If
DOJ or the City is of the view that this issue presents an actual or potential conflict that
precludes Mr. Fogarty’s participation in the monitorship, Mr. Fogarty will withdraw
from our team’s proposal.
Hahn Loeser currently represents the Cleveland Botanical Garden (“CBG”) in Cleveland
Botanical Garden v. Staci K. Worthington Drewien, et al., Cuyahoga County Court of
Common Pleas, Case No. CV-13-781390 (the “Declaratory Judgment Action”). Mr.
Fogarty is not personally involved in the matter. In the Declaratory Judgment Action,
CBG has joined as defendants 39 parties and seeks declaratory relief as to three issues:
(i) whether CBG’s use and operation of the current CBG Property in Wade Park is
consistent with a certain public park use restriction imposed on the CBG Property by
virtue of the original grant of Wade Park by Jeptha H. Wade to the City of Cleveland
(the “City”); (ii) whether a certain fencing restriction applicable to the CBG Property
constitutes a fee simple subject to a condition subsequent or a restrictive covenant; and
(iii) whether all proper parties have been joined as defendants in the Declaratory
Judgment Action. The City is a defendant in the Declaratory Judgment Action to the
extent that the CBG Property is comprised of two sets of parcels: (i) a series of parcels
leased directly from the City to CBG; and (ii) a set of parcels leased from the City to
University Circle, Inc. (“UCI”), and subleased to CBG.
In addition to CBG’s claims for declaratory relief, the City has asserted a Counterclaim
against CBG (and Cross-claim against UCI) for declaratory judgment only requesting
that in the event that the Court determines CBG to be in violation of the underlying
Wade Park deed restrictions, that CBG and UCI be ordered to and afforded an
opportunity to cure any such restrictions.
CBG also named the United States was as a defendant, but only because it has a medical
facility on property adjacent to Wade Park “that might arguably claim some benefit
through continued enforcement” of the fence restriction. The United States, however,
signed a Release and Modification of Certain Deed Rights that was recorded with the
Cuyahoga County Recorded Documents Office on March 5, 2015. CBG voluntarily
dismissed its claims against the United States on March 10, 2015.

35

 The Declaratory Judgment Action and all claims related thereto have been temporarily
stayed pending the parties’ ongoing mediation efforts with former Judge James
McMonagle.
Related to the Declaratory Judgment Action, CBG was named as a defendant in two
lawsuits brought by a taxpayer on behalf of the City. See City of Cleveland ex rel. William
G. Wade v. Cleveland Botanical Garden, Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court, Case No.
CV-14-827728 (the “State Taxpayer Action”); City of Cleveland ex rel. William G. Wade v.
Cleveland Botanical Garden, United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio,
Eastern Division, Case No. 1:13-cv-02297-CAB (the “Federal Taxpayer Action”). The
court in the Federal Taxpayer Action dismissed that case as a result of CBG’s motion to
dismiss. The State Taxpayer Action has been formally stayed pending the outcome of
the Declaratory Judgment Action.
Hahn Loeser does not consider these matters to bar Mr. Fogarty’s participation with the
Monitoring Team. The City’s involvement in this litigation is only as the lessor of the
property to CBG. The City and CBG continue to negotiate with the Wade heirs to
resolve these disputes. None of these claims has any relationship whatsoever with the
issues that the Monitoring Team will be addressing. Further, CBG’s claims against the
United States have been dismissed. And here too, these claims do not have any
relationship whatsoever with the issues that the Monitoring Team will be addressing.
Finally, Hahn Loeser will not be representing the City while serving on the Monitoring
Team. Thus, Ohio Rule of Professional Conduct 1.7 does not apply.
As we noted above, however, if either the DOJ or the City are uncomfortable with the
facts associated with this matter and conclude that the facts preclude Mr. Fogarty’s
participation in the monitorship, Mr. Fogarty will withdraw from this monitoring
proposal.

36

 VII. Estimated Costs
Our monitoring team will offer its services at significantly discounted hourly rates for
the duration of the project as set forth in Appendix A. The monitor, deputy monitor,
local counsel and senior legal experts (“Senior Professionals” in Appendix A) will
charge their services at a blended rate of
per hour, which is well below their
standard rates of
per hour. Our junior professionals will charge
er
hour, and our information technology experts will charge
per hour. Our senior
police and academic experts will charge
per hour. We will keep these rates the
same for the five years of the monitorship.
We will bill travel and lodging expenses at cost, and we will not bill for travel time. We
include an estimate for travel and lodging for each year in Appendix A. Our estimate
for “Data Fees” includes fees for data processing, hosting and analytics. These
estimates may vary from the actual fees depending on the volume of data by gigabyte
processed and hosted. We assume that the total data hosted will increase over the life
of the monitorship, and account for that in our estimate. The analytics fees depend on
the volume of data the analytics are applied to. We do not anticipate any expenses for
the leasing of office space.
Our estimate of fees and expenses is summarized in the following table:
Fees

Expenses

Year 1
Year 2
Year 3
Year 4
Year 5
Total

37

Total

 We will agree to a cost-cap above which fees and costs will not be billed of
for the five years.
We plan to be on site in Cleveland every month during the term of the monitorship, but
the precise number of days per month will be determined by the activities underway at
the time. In Appendix A we include an excel spread sheet detailing our projections of
the number of hours and the corresponding fees we anticipate devoting to the various
tasks outlined in the Consent Decree by category of professionals. These projections are
estimates and may ultimately vary as we develop our work plan in coordination with
the DOJ, the City and the CDP, and perform out duties. It is difficult to project
precisely how many hours will be spent on-site and off-site, but we expect to maintain a
presence in Cleveland each month during the term of the monitorship.
We have not included an estimate for the biennial surveys in light of the Consent
Decree’s statement that the City and DOJ “will endeavor to secure private funding for
the biennial community survey.” Consent Decree, p. 83, para. 362.

 VIII. Core Team Biographies

Throughout his career Billy Martin has served in numerous roles focused
on oversight, investigations, management and litigation related to
policing and other sensitive public integrity matters. He has worked with
police as a partner, advisor, overseer, and facilitator and as a check on
alleged excesses and abuses.
Mr. Martin’s career in law enforcement began as a city prosecutor in
Cincinnati in 1976, where he served as a partner and advisor on the legal
principles that guide police work and the criminal justice system. Mr.
Martin was later assigned to manage the Dayton branch of the United
States Attorney’s office for the Southern District of Ohio and served as a resource for federal
and local law enforcement agents in the Dayton area. While serving as a senior counsel on the
Organized Crime Strike Force in San Francisco, Mr. Martin was assigned by the Department of
Justice to serve as a special prosecutor in Anchorage, Alaska, leading a sensitive investigation
and prosecution from which the United States Attorney for Alaska had been recused.
In 1984 Mr. Martin moved to Washington D.C. where he became the Deputy Director of DC
Superior Court Operations, the “local prosecutor” function of the District of Columbia, for the
United States Attorney’s office. In that role he was responsible for oversight of all allegations of
police abuse and wrongdoing, as well as review of all police shootings, and all homicide cases.
While serving in that position in the mid to late 80’s, Mr. Martin oversaw numerous
investigations of allegations of excessive use of force and other alleged misconduct. Mr. Martin
was then appointed to be Executive Assistant United States Attorney for the District of
Columbia, the third ranking law enforcement official in that office.
In 1990 Mr. Martin left full time government service. However, he has maintained significant
involvement in policing and integrity issues, representing government entities, police agencies
and officers, and members of the community, in a variety of matters. Since entering private
practice, in the District of Columbia, he has worked with Police Unions and individual officers
in numerous instances of alleged misconduct.
In 2001 Mr. Martin was retained by the City of Cincinnati for the Department of Justice’s
investigation of the Cincinnati Police Department, concerning an alleged pattern and practice of
excessive force. On behalf of the City, Mr. Martin monitored the drafting and implementation
of new use-of-force and training policies and procedures. In addition, he negotiated a consent
decree with the Department of Justice and worked with the Court appointed monitor of that
consent decree, and assisted in coordinating a unique collaborative process to settle a number of
civil lawsuits filed against the city which were a part of the justice Department’s investigation.

39

 In addition to his extensive work with policing and police oversight, Mr. Martin has significant
experience with highly sensitive matters concerning public integrity and public corruption.
This experience includes representing elected officials and others involved in matters with high
levels of public interest, including impeachment proceedings, ethics reviews, and criminal
allegations. Most recently, in 2011, he was retained by a unanimous vote of the Committee on
Ethics for the United States House of Representatives, as an outside counsel, to complete and
resolve the investigation of a senior Member of Congress. That matter involved a review of
substantive allegations of ethical violations, as well as allegations that the Committee itself had
violated due process rights of the Congresswoman prior to his retention. While the matter had
caused bitter partisan divisions prior to seeking outside counsel, Mr. Martin established
excellent relations with all of the Members of the evenly divided Committee, and was able to
work with the Committee towards their unanimously decided conclusion of the matter.
Mr. Martin currently sits on the Board of the American Arbitration Association, and on the
District of Columbia Sentencing Commission. Mr. Martin is also a recent past president of the
Washington Bar Association and was recently selected as a fellow of the American Bar
Foundation. In addition, Mr. Martin remains actively engaged in various associations,
organizations and institutions promoting excellence, integrity and diversity in the legal
community.

Joseph Spinelli is a senior managing director with Kroll’s Investigations and
Disputes practice, based in New York. In a career spanning more than 30
years across both the private and public sectors, Joe has been a pre-eminent
leader in multiple fields, including white collar investigations, anti-bribery and
corruption, risk management, monitorships, criminal investigations
and forensic accounting.
Prior to joining Kroll, Joe was a managing director with an international
consulting firm’s Global Investigations and Compliance Practice and its
FCPA Anti-Bribery and Corruption practice leader. Formerly, Joe held
numerous leadership roles with a Big Four accounting firm, where his
contributions included founding the firm’s forensic practice in 1994; serving
as Office Coordinating Partner for the Northeast, Public Services industry
leader, and Healthcare Compliance National Partner-in-Charge; and leading
monitorship engagements that included the post September 11th-Ground
Zero recovery efforts at the World Trade Center and for the Diocese
of Manchester, New Hampshire, child abuse case. In his 12 years with
that firm, Joe also conducted numerous FCPA investigations in China,
Korea, The Philippines and Vietnam.
Joe’s earlier career in public service included eight years in the groundbreaking role of Inspector General for New York State. The first to ever
hold this position, Joe led fraud and corruption investigations for state
government agencies and authorities. During this time, he co-authored
the N.Y. State Internal Control Act of 1987, which required state agencies
to conduct risk assessments as part of a proactive approach to fraud
prevention. Joe also served as Assistant Director of Criminal Justice for
the State of New York, responsible for investigating criminal complaints
and fraud allegations throughout state government.
Joe started his career as a Special Agent for the Federal Bureau of
Investigation. Based in both the New York and New Haven field offices,
he was involved in several high-profile cases. Additionally, Joe has been
an Independent Private Sector Inspector General for Miami-Dade County
and an independent auditor for the Securities and Exchange Commission
for two stock exchanges.
In recognition of his exemplary achievements as a practitioner in the field
of anti-bribery and corruption investigations, Joe has been selected to serve
on numerous boards and commissions. These have included the Board
of Regents of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, the world’s
largest anti-fraud organization; Chairman of the New York State Commission
on Public Integrity; and Chairman of the Audit and Compensation Committees
for the New York Racing Association Board.

 Prior to Joining Martin & Gitner, Dan Schwager’s career has focused on
corruption and ethics matters at the highest levels of government and in
the securities industry and legal profession. Mr. Schwager has had a long
and distinguished career in public integrity and ethics enforcement, with
a particular focus on allegations concerning law enforcement officials and
internal investigations.
Mr. Schwager began his career in the New York County District
Attorney’s office, where he was recruited to serve in the Official
Corruption Unit, which focused solely on allegations of police misconduct in the NYPD and
other local and state law enforcement agencies operating in Manhattan. In that time Mr.
Schwager was responsible for reviewing and assessing every complaint filed with the Internal
Affairs Bureau for the NYPD. He worked closely with the Internal Affairs Bureau on a variety
of allegations, investigations, and prosecutions. Mr. Schwager was also a liaison to the Civilian
Complaint Review Board.
Mr. Schwager later served as a trial attorney in the Public Integrity Section of the Criminal
Division of the Department of Justice, where he led task forces and investigations focusing on
allegations against law enforcement officials, including criminal prosecutions of other federal
prosecutors. In one instance, Mr. Schwager and his team were awarded the Attorney General’s
award for Fraud Prevention for an investigation which discovered that serious allegations and
evidence against a very senior federal law enforcement official had been fabricated in a
sophisticated fraud perpetrated by a government informant.
After the Justice Department, Mr. Schwager became counsel to the US Senate Select Committee
on Ethics, where he provided ethics and compliance advice to Senators and their staff, and
investigated allegations of misconduct. He was then chosen to be the Chief Counsel and Staff
Director of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Ethics. As the only non-partisan
staff director in the House, Mr. Schwager was hired by and advised both the Chairman and
Ranking Member, and the other eight members of the bi-partisan (evenly divided) committee.
During Mr. Schwager’s tenure as Chief Counsel every Committee vote was unanimous.
Mr. Schwager has also served as a senior counsel in the Enforcement Department of the
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and as an adjunct associate professor of law
at American University’s Washington College of Law, where he taught Legal Ethics. He has
spoken at numerous forums on congressional ethics, corruption enforcement, and political law
and has instructed federal law enforcement officers on law and best practices surrounding
internal investigations.
Throughout his career Mr. Schwager has earned a reputation for taking on the toughest matters
and applying rigorous standards of diligence, integrity and professionalism.

Bill Nugent is a Senior Managing Director with Kroll’s Investigations and Disputes Group and Head of the Philadelphia office. A
former federal prosecutor, Bill manages a wide variety of complex
assignments on behalf of governments, corporations, law firms
and individuals. With more than 20 years of investigative and law
enforcement experience, Bill is an expert in conducting major
fraud-related investigations.
Prior to joining Kroll, Bill served as an Assistant United States Attorney
in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania for seven years, three of which
were with the Organized Crime Strike Force, where he investigated
and prosecuted a wide variety of federal criminal cases including
economic and violent crimes, racketeering (RICO), money laundering,
narcotics trafficking, and civil rights violations. Bill previously was a
litigation attorney in the Philadelphia office of Wolf, Block, Schorr and
Solis-Cohen where he handled white collar crime and civil fraud cases.

Professional Experience
■■Fraud Investigations. After complaints of an alleged Ponzi scheme,
Kroll was retained by a court-appointed receiver to conduct an
extensive forensic analysis and investigation into a $100 million hedge
fund. Bill and his team undertook an exhaustive effort to compile and
analyze over 1,000,000 records relating to the defendants’ business
dealings. This investigation included the reconstruction and analyses
of transactional activity in excess of $825 million spanning a 10 year
period. Kroll’s work assisted in the conviction and sentencing of the
manager to 17.5 years in prison.
■■Corporate Internal Investigations. Bill has conducted complex
internal investigations on behalf of numerous corporate clients on a
wide variety of issues, including internal fraud, employee misconduct,
theft of trade secrets, loss of proprietary data, network intrusion, and
the misuse of company technology. In one case, Bill conducted an
internal investigation for an international pharmaceutical company,

these agencies has been from 3 to 39,000 employees. These audits allow him to be in police cars
up to 100 hours each year. He has been a consultant on 8 U.S. Department of Justice, Civil
Rights Division, Special Litigation Section, investigations of agencies involving patterns and
practices of Constitutional violations. He was selected in 2003 as the Federal Court monitor for
the Consent Decree of Collin v. Ventura County Sheriff’s Department, CA.
Mr. Reiter provides litigation consultation to law firms involved in police civil actions. Since
1983, Mr. Reiter has been retained in over 1,100 such cases in nearly every state plus the District
of Columbia and Puerto Rico. This has been in both federal and state courts on both sides of
disputes with approximately 60 percent being for plaintiffs.
Mr. Reiter was a member of the Los Angeles Police Department from 1961 to 1981. During that
tenure he had 22 different assignments and rose through to ranks to retire as Deputy Chief of
Police. About 70 percent of his time was spent in uniformed operations while the bulk of the
remainder was in Internal Affairs, use of force review, training and personnel administration.
Mr. Reiter has been published throughout his professional career. He was one of the principle
researchers and authors of the 1973 Police Task Force Report of the National Advisory
Commission on Criminal Standards and Goals, where he authored the chapters on Internal
Discipline, Training and Management-Employee Relations. In 1993 he authored and published
the Law Enforcement Administrative Investigations: a manual guide; the second edition was
dramatically expanded and published by the Public Agency Training Council in 1998; and the
third edition in 2006. In 2013, Mr. Reiter published his first fiction novel about a police
consultant and cases of police misconduct: Broken Badges: Cases from Police Internal Affairs
Files.

 For more than 20 years, Natashia Tidwell has developed and honed
extensive expertise in law enforcement practices as a police officer, federal
prosecutor, and as an academic. Since 2011, Professor Tidwell has served
as both an advisor to the Commissioner of the Cambridge Police
Department as well as a two-time mayoral appointee to a board tasked
with ensuring fairness and thoroughness in the internal affairs process for
the Boston Police Department.
Professor Tidwell began her career in law enforcement in 1993 when, as a
newly-minted police officer in Cambridge, Massachusetts, she joined the burgeoning
community policing movement as the first school resource officer in the city’s only public high
school. Upon her promotion to sergeant, Professor Tidwell was assigned as a detective in the
Internal Affairs Division. Whereas her work as a school resource officer relied on fostering
trusting relationships directly with the community, her tenure in internal affairs focused on the
critical role internal accountability and a fair and equitable disciplinary process have in the
perceived legitimacy of a police department in its community.
As a member of the Internal Affairs Division, Professor Tidwell managed a caseload that
included the investigation of a fatal police-involved shooting and allegations of excessive force.
While navigating constitutional safeguards and collective bargaining agreements, she
interviewed countless sworn officers and assisted in the development and implementation of
the department’s progressive discipline and early intervention policies. In addition to her
investigative and development roles in the Internal Affairs Division, Professor Tidwell
conducted periodic audits to ensure compliance with existing rules for the use and reporting of
deadly and non-lethal force. After several years in the Division, Professor Tidwell rose to
become the first female lieutenant in the history of the Cambridge Police Department. As a
lieutenant, she served as Police Academy Director, where she coordinated the department’s
training curriculum and participated in the review and re-drafting of numerous policies and
procedures.
After earning a law degree, summa cum laude, while serving as a sergeant and lieutenant in the
Cambridge Police Department, Professor Tidwell was selected as one of seven applicants
nationwide to serve in the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice as a member of the
prestigious Attorney General’s Honors Program. As a trial attorney in the Public Integrity
Section, Professor Tidwell supervised investigations and litigated public corruption matters
throughout the Country on behalf of the United States, including cases of bribery and police
perjury.
In 2010 Professor Tidwell left government service to accept a full time position as an Associate
Professor of Law at New England Law   Boston. Her teaching and research interests reflect an
avid interest and expertise in law enforcement and policing. In addition to doctrinal courses in
Criminal Procedure and Evidence, she developed and teaches a seminar course that explores

 the relationship between police and inner-city communities with particular focus on excessive
force, “stop and frisk,” and other constitutional issues. She has also researched and published
scholarship relating to community policing and procedural justice.
In addition to her teaching duties, for the past four years, Professor Tidwell has served on the
City of Boston’s Community Ombudsman Oversight Panel. As an Ombudsman, she has
reviewed dozens of internal affairs investigations and issued recommendations to the police
department for improvements in the investigatory process as well as refinement and
clarification of its use-of-force reporting requirements. Professor Tidwell is currently working
with Boston city officials and the community on an objective feasibility study of expanding the
scope of the oversight panel’s duties beyond case review and oversight to include independent
investigations, disciplinary recommendations, and a mediation component.

 Robert J. “Bob” Fogarty

Bob Fogarty’s distinguished 33 year legal career in the Cleveland community qualifies
him as a valuable team member in overseeing the Consent Decree. He has earned the
trust and respect of Fortune 500 companies, the courts, and the legal community for
his litigation skills in gathering and analyzing complex facts and data and presenting
them in clear and concise written and oral reports. As a leader and manager of one of
Cleveland’s oldest and most respected law firms, he is knowledgeable of Cleveland
issues and conditions.
Mr. Fogarty’s litigation career and experience in working with governmental agencies
began in 1979 when he was appointed as an Assistant United States Attorney for the
Southern District of Ohio. As an AUSA, he worked with federal law enforcement investigators and agencies in
prosecuting numerous federal crimes. He also served as the chief civil trial lawyer in his office defending
federal officers and agencies and earned commendations for his work.
In 1982, Mr. Fogarty joined the now-95 year old Cleveland law firm of Hahn Loeser & Parks LLP—a firm
founded on principles of diversity. Since 1990, he has lead and co-managed the litigation area of the firm, its
largest practice group. For 16 years, he served on its Board of Directors. Over the course of his 33 years with
Hahn Loeser, he has become recognized as one of the top commercial trial lawyers in Ohio and earned the
highest rating for ethics. He has extensive experience representing individuals and Fortune 500 companies in
complex matters in federal and state courts throughout the United States, as well as in arbitrations and
mediations. That experience includes complex commercial, class action, healthcare, antitrust, employment,
and tort litigation, as well as Ohio civil rights laws.
He is skilled in rooting out key facts, reviewing and analyzing voluminous documents and electronically-stored
data, and synthesizing that information into clear and concise reports to both his clients and courts, as well as
other stakeholders. He routinely leads internal and external investigations for his clients and supervises
experts and litigation teams. He is a proven effective communicator to both the public and courts and has
extensive experience representing clients in federal courts in Cleveland. Mr. Fogarty’s legal practice has given
him a deep understanding of both the federal and Ohio rules of civil procedure and evidence. His clients rely
on him to lead and manage multi-million dollar litigation budgets effectively and efficiently and ensure that all
deadlines are met.
As just one example of his experience, Mr. Fogarty recently defended a class action lawsuit brought against his
Fortune 500 client in which the plaintiffs sought $1 billion in damages. The case involved thousands of
documents and multiple expert and lay witnesses. Over twenty Hahn Loeser attorneys and paralegals assisted
in the defense as part of a multi-million dollar litigation budget. Following a week-long bench trial, the court
entered a defense verdict.
Mr. Fogarty is also well-respected by his peers in the Cleveland legal community. Cleveland law firms have
asked him to provide counsel and representation in sensitive litigation involving those firms. Mr. Fogarty
regularly advises his clients on court orders and opinions and compliance with those orders. Finally, his clients
often ask him to review their practices and procedures and assess their compliance with those practices and
procedures, as well as with federal and state laws.
Mr. Fogarty currently lives in Pepper Pike, Ohio, with his wife, Laura. He has three children and three
grandchildren.
