Ogletree Trial Attorney U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division Special Litigation Section Barbara A. Langhenry Director of Law City of Cleveland Department of Law Request for Proposals to Serve as Independent Monitor for the Consent Decree regarding the Cleveland Division of Police CNA is pleased to submit the attached application in response to the Request for Proposals (RFP) to act as the Independent Monitor of the Consent Decree for the Cleveland Division of Police (CDP). As required by the RFP, our response consists of the following sections: Executive Summary, Personnel, Qualifications, Prior Experience and References, Proposed Activities, Potential Conflicts of Interest or Bias, and Estimated Costs. CNA, a not-for-profit research and analysis organization, has more than 70 years of experience providing objective analysis of high-profile issues for both federal and local governments. CNA has conducted assessments of police use-of-force policies and practices in three large police departments (Las Vegas, Spokane, and Philadelphia) that identified 50 to 90 specific reforms and improvements in each department relating to police use of deadly force and building community trust. We have also monitored or are currently monitoring the implementation of these reforms. Our Las Vegas team, spearheaded by James Stewart and Steve Rickman, senior advisors at CNA, achieved 95- percent compliance on all recommended reforms within three years, under budget, and without the benefit of an enforceable court order. We attribute this success to the collaborative approach we developed for police agency reform. Our understanding of the policy, training, and community engagement challenges in the postFerguson environment uniquely qualifies us for this monitoring task. The CNA Monitoring Team for this project has experience in all the issues identified in the Department of Justice investigation of the CDP, and in all aspects of independent police agency monitoring. We offer a proven monitoring, assessment, and reporting approach based on successful methodologies used by our team and incorporating best practices and lessons learned from our recent engagements. We will actively engage community stakeholders in the process to ensure that the implemented reforms incorporate agency-wide community policing and build community trust and police legitimacy. Please contact me (703-824-2802; stewarja@cna.org) or Nicholas Hunter (703-824-2082; huntern@cna.org) with any questions or requests for additional information. We look forward to the possibility of supporting the Department of Justice and the City of Cleveland on this important project. Sincerely, James K. Stewart, Director of Public Safety, CNA Institute for Public Research ii Request for Proposal – Independent Monitor Consent Decree, Cleveland Division of Police I. Executive Summary The community demonstrations and outcries concerning police practices and legitimacy in the “post-Ferguson” era show that policing in America must address serious challenges regarding community collaboration and Constitutional policing. The recent report from the President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing highlighted these concerns and issued a challenge to police agencies across the United States to resolve these challenges and move toward complete transparency regarding police use of force, police shootings, and citizen complaints. Now the City of Cleveland, Ohio and the Cleveland Over the past 5 years, CNA has conducted Division of Police (CDP) face the challenge of the most innovative and effective police returning the CDP to a trusted and respected status in agency assessment, monitoring, and reform the Cleveland community. CNA, a nonprofit work in the country, resulting in sustained organization with over 70 years of experience in positive and measurable change in urban successful organizational and operational reforms at all police departments in the areas of training, levels of government, and our team of experienced early intervention systems, community police agency monitors and reformers, represent the engagement, use of force, and citizen best team for successfully monitoring and completing complaints, as well as change in police culture in those departments. CNA is a this reform initiative. Mr. James “CHIPS” Stewart, a recognized leader in police reform, nationally respected police change agent, will lead the particularly for its attention to the issues of CNA team, along with Thomas Sullivan, Dr. Ronnie use-of-force policy and tactics as well as Dunn (a respected member of the Cleveland community trust. community), and Dr. James R. Coldren, Jr. These individuals, along with our strong team of monitoring and subject matter experts, have the capabilities, qualifications, and experience to monitor the reform process at the CDP. They will support the department in implementing these changes and engaging with the community it serves, and ensuring transparency and compliance with federal mandates in an environment of intense scrutiny. Most recently, CNA co-created, implemented, and monitored the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Collaborative Reform Initiative, assessing police use-of-force policies and related practices in three large police departments (Las Vegas, Spokane, and Philadelphia) and identified 50 to 90 specific reforms and improvements in each department. This reform process now stands as the national standard in this area. Our approach and resulting reforms have been validated as best-practice models by COPS and reviewed positively by Department of Justice Civil Rights Special Litigation Attorneys. In addition to making recommendations for reform, we monitored the successful implementation of those recommendations and observed measurable results from them relatively quickly. For example, in the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD), we supported LVMPD in achieving sustained compliance with more than 95 percent of the recommendations within three years. This compliance was achieved without the benefit and leverage of a Consent Decree under an enforceable court order; we produced these results based on sound, independent analysis and a collaborative approach to organizational change while minimizing monitoring costs. The CNA Monitoring Team will provide the Court, the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Attorney, the City government, the residents of Cleveland, and the CDP the best-value solution for ensuring lasting reform within the CDP. Our team offers the following advantages: 1 Request for Proposal – Independent Monitor Consent Decree, Cleveland Division of Police x A monitoring team that is uniquely qualified to assist Cleveland.

Introduction to the CNA Monitoring Team Mr. James “CHIPS” Stewart will lead the CNA Monitoring Team, as the Independent Monitor. Mr. Stewart, former Director of the National Institute of Justice, will serve as the primary contact and liaison with the federal court, the signatories to the Consent Decree, and the 1 The challenges faced by the CDP are detailed in the recent “Request for Information: Independent Monitor, Negotiated Court Enforceable Settlement Agreement Regarding the Cleveland Division of Police” published by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the City of Cleveland on March 26, 2015; and in two supporting documents: “Investigation of the Cleveland Division of Police,” by the DOJ Civil Rights Division and the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Northern District of Ohio, which set out the findings of the DOJ investigation, and the “Joint Statement of Principles” document signed by the Mayor of Cleveland, the Acting Assistant Attorney General of the DOJ Civil Rights Division, and the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio. 2 Request for Proposal – Independent Monitor Consent Decree, Cleveland Division of Police community of Cleveland. He will direct all monitoring and assessment activities and will lead all stakeholder engagement efforts, including building consensus among community groups, the public, and the CDP. Mr. Stewart will report regularly to the federal court and the Consent Decree signatories on the status of progress towards compliance with the Consent Decree. Our team includes a Local Compliance Facilitator, Dr. Ronnie Dunn. Dr. Dunn, a professor of Urban Affairs at Cleveland State University, will serve as our team’s on-site coordinator, assisting with data collection and community and stakeholder outreach, as well as providing administrative support to the team. Our team also features a Deputy Monitor and a Management Administrator to support Mr. Stewart. Mr. Thomas Sullivan, former U.S. Attorney in the Northern Illinois District and senior partner at Jenner & Block, will serve as the Deputy Monitor, overseeing the project monitoring activities and compliance audits. Dr. James Coldren, Jr. will act as the Management Administrator, coordinating the overall activities of the CNA Monitoring Team, including scheduling, communications, data collection, report writing, and liaison with the Local Compliance Facilitator. Compliance Leads will be responsible for on-site monitoring and assessment of progress regarding the 11 substantive areas in the Settlement Agreement. Overview of our Approach We will apply the following guiding principles to the CDP reform and monitoring process: 1) 2) 3) 4) Objective analysis based on measures of performance Community engagement and participation with complete transparency Independent audits of police policies and practices to reveal actual progress Regular communication among the relevant parties and consultation with the labor organizations and CDP command staff, supervisors, and officers. In Figure 1, we summarize our five-phase monitoring approach. Underpinning our approach is ongoing outreach and consensus building with all stakeholders, including the community and the Cleveland Division of Police. We anticipate that monitoring activities will begin almost immediately, where there are monitoring tasks in the anticipated Settlement Agreement that have clearly identified performance indicators and for which performance data are readily available from CDP (e.g., officer training, use of force investigations). Other monitoring activities will phase in within 4 months, after we develop performance measures and being collecting data.

Personnel In this section, we identify the member of the CNA Monitoring team, summarize the background of each member, describe our team’s internal organization, and describe the current commitments of our core team members. Organization of the CNA Monitoring Team Figure 2 depicts the internal organization of our monitoring team, which is scalable and flexible while providing comprehensive expertise across the 11 substantive areas of the request for proposal. Our Independent Monitor, Mr. James Stewart, will serve as the direct contact and liaison with the United States District Court Judge Solomon Oliver, the Parties to the Consent Decree, and the local residents of Cleveland. Mr. Stewart will work along with Deputy Monitor Sullivan to direct all monitoring and assessment activities and will lead all stakeholder engagement efforts, including building consensus among community groups, the general public, and the police department (including officers, supervisors, commanders, and union representatives). Mr. Stewart, Mr. Sullivan, and other members of the CNA Monitoring Team, including Local Compliance Facilitator Dr. Ronnie Dunn, will convene monthly with the parties to the Consent Decree to ensure routine and direct communication on all aspects of the monitoring initiative.

He will ensure that the CNA Monitoring Team has the analytic and administrative support it needs to successfully complete all the tasks required to enable the CDP to reach full compliance within five years. Dr. Coldren will also coordinate the activities of the Compliance Leads and will be responsible for ensuring quality and consistency in our approach across the nine substantive monitoring areas. We have assigned a Compliance Lead to each of the 11 substantive areas to ensure that the most qualified and current expert leads each area (2 of our 9 Compliance Leads are each leading 2 areas). The Compliance Leads will lead that team’s assessment and monitoring of compliance with the Settlement Agreement for his or her respective substantive area, and will oversee the collection, analysis, and reporting of assessment data. Please see Section III for more information on the qualifications of these personnel. We have a deep bench of technical and research staff to support the CNA Monitoring Team. Our Technical Experts Panel includes leading experts in the fields of law enforcement, Constitutional law, community engagement, problem-oriented policing, accountability, supervision, research, and organizational change. We will call upon experts form this panel as needed to advise and assist our assessment, monitoring, and technical assistance activities. The CNA Monitoring Team also includes a team from Cleveland State University, which has a robust community presence throughout the Cleveland region. Community outreach professionals, led by Local Compliance Facilitator, urban sociologist Dr. Ronnie Dunn, will act as local coordinators for community outreach and input into the monitoring process, for coordination of local activities by the CNA Monitoring Team, and for coordination and communication with local community groups and organizations. The Cleveland State team will work closely with Dr. Coldren and the Compliance Leads and report to the Independent Monitor. This arrangement ensures that the activities of the CNA Monitoring Team will be wellcoordinated locally, and that there will be a strong, fluid connection between the CNA Monitoring Team, local community groups, and local residents who desire to participate in the monitoring process. Finally, our team includes talented CNA analysts who will provide research and technical support to the entire CNA Monitoring Team. We match technical staff with each Compliance Lead to provide tailored expertise to monitor each area of the Settlement Agreement. This approach results in efficient and effective auditing and monitoring. CNA Monitoring Team: Core Members Mr. James “CHIPS” Stewart, Director of Public Safety for CNA, has a distinguished leadership record in transforming police organizations, implementing Constitutional policing, using analysis to direct reform regarding police use of force, and achieving lasting results. Mr. Stewart is a former Director of the National Institute of Justice, a former White House Fellow, a former Special Assistant to the U.S. Attorney General, and a retired Chief of Detectives from the Oakland, California, Police Department. He is a national expert on police operations who has led numerous studies and technical assistance efforts since leaving the federal government. Mr. Stewart directed a team of analysts tasked with strategically restructuring the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Police Department as part of the department’s agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). In this role, he designed and implemented a departmental performance 5 Request for Proposal – Independent Monitor Consent Decree, Cleveland Division of Police assessment system, developed plans for a complete organizational restructuring of the department, provided technical assistance, and developed new departmental operating procedures that introduced community policing practices agency-wide. In addition, Mr. Stewart led the design and implementation of the Chicago Police Department’s Alternative Policing Strategy (CAPS), which emphasized the need for increased communication between the community and the police so that together they could come up with solutions for chronic neighborhood problems. While at CNA, Mr. Stewart led a team of experts in assessing police critical incidents for the Oakland, Tampa, and Baltimore Police Departments. Most recently, Mr. Stewart directed a team of analysts who assessed and monitored the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s use of deadly force as part of the COPS Collaborative Reform Initiative. Mr. Stewart’s expertise in policing practices is nationally recognized, and he is frequently called on by local police leaders and officials to assist in dealing with use of force (especially deadly force), critical policing incidents, and restoring trust in police departments and implementing improved police practices in their communities. Mr. Stewart’s work with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department led to that agency’s implementation of approximately 200 body-worn cameras, an initiative that is now the subject of the nation’s largest randomized experiment with that technology. The study, led by CNA with funding support from the National Institute of Justice, will reveal much about police-community trust. Mr. Thomas P. Sullivan, partner at Jenner and Block, has handled civil and criminal trial and appellate litigation for more than 55 years. He is the former U. S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois and has argued many cases in the Illinois Supreme Court, the U.S. Supreme Court, and many federal Courts of Appeal. He served as co-chair of Illinois Governor George Ryan’s Commission on Capital Punishment (2000-02) and the Illinois General Assembly’s Capital Punishment Reform Study Committee, whose reports recommending sweeping changes to Illinois homicide law and procedure were influential in Governor Ryan’s decision in 2003 to clear Illinois’ death row and Governor Quinn’s signing the bill abolishing Illinois’ death penalty in 2010. Mr. Sullivan also served as Special Counsel to Highland Park, Illinois, conducting an independent investigation regarding accusations of racial profiling. Importantly, Mr. Sullivan is the nation’s leading expert on videotaping of police interrogations, having worked extensively on the issue for the past decade. Videotaping of police interrogations is an issue related to use of force as well as police accountability. Dr. James Coldren is a nationally respected leader in justice system reform and in police research, crime prevention, and organizational change. He has served in leadership positions for justice reform initiatives ranging from the de-incarceration of youth to the reform of the death penalty in Illinois, and has managed and directed large-scale research and justice system improvement projects for the past 30 years. Dr. Coldren served for more than four years as the Federal Appointed Court Monitor for the Duran v. Elrod Consent Decree involving the Cook County Department of Corrections in the Northern District of Illinois, which covered 12 different substantive areas, including use of force. As Managing Director for Justice Programs at CNA, Dr. Coldren oversees assessment, monitoring, training, and technical assistance projects for several large Justice Department initiatives, including the Smart Policing Initiative (SPI), the Violence Reduction Network (VRN), and the Collaborative Reform Initiative. In particular, the Collaborative Reform Initiative involves an assessment, technical assistance, and monitoring process that is similar in scope to that required by the Consent Decree. He is also the Principal 6 Request for Proposal – Independent Monitor Consent Decree, Cleveland Division of Police Investigator for the randomized experiment involving body-worn cameras in the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and brings first-hand knowledge on the use of this technology in affecting police behavior. CNA Monitoring Team - Local Presence through Cleveland State University We recognize the need for a consistent local presence of CNA Monitoring Team members in Cleveland for the duration of this monitoring initiative. Such local presence serves two important purposes: x x It provides the parties to the Consent Decree close and immediate contact with the CNA Monitoring Team so that questions, problems, and important discussions can take place quickly and efficiently. It provides the Cleveland community with easy access to the CNA Monitoring Team as well, so that community members desiring to provide input or otherwise engage with the CNA Monitoring Team have access to local people with similar cultural backgrounds. Cleveland State University will provide a continuous local presence for the CNA Monitoring Team for the duration of this initiative. Dr. Ronnie Dunn is an Associate Professor of Urban Studies and a well-respected and active member of the Cleveland community. He is a current member of Ohio Governor John Kasich’s Task Force on Community-Police Relations. Dr. Dunn has written widely on policing topics including racial bias and traffic stops. He is an active member of the Cleveland community, serving with organizations such as the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority, the NAACP, and Citizens for a Safe and Fair Cleveland. Dr. Dunn will ensure that individuals familiar with local conditions in Cleveland and with the CDP are available in support roles to the analysts and Compliance Leads on the CNA Monitoring Team and are available to make observations and attend meetings and events that are important to the Team’s understanding of the changing nature of policing in Cleveland. We will lease office space through Cleveland State University so that the CNA Monitoring Team has a physical presence and community members will have a place to meet with the Team for the duration of the monitoring initiative. In addition, the Monitor, Deputy Monitor, Management Administrator, and Compliance Leads will travel to Cleveland on a regular basis – monthly or quarterly at a minimum) in a staggered fashion so that other members of the CNA Monitoring Team, besides the local team coordinated by Cleveland State, will have a constant presence in Cleveland. Compliance Leads Tables 1 list the Compliance Leads who will support Mr. Stewart and Mr. Sullivan. These personnel have the experience and capabilities to establish an adequate and timely presence in Cleveland throughout the duration of the monitoring project. Each Compliance Lead will work with Compliance Team members with expertise in the assigned area to ensure team depth as well as flexibility. We will draw upon the Technical Experts Panel (see next section) for assistance as necessary. 7 Request for Proposal – Independent Monitor Consent Decree, Cleveland Division of Police Table 1: Compliance Team Qualifications and Experience Team Member / Role Theron Bowman, Ph.D. Compliance Lead: Officer Assistance and Support Steve Carter, M.A. Compliance Lead: Use of Force, Search and Seizure Maggie Goodrich, J.D.

Prior Experience and References In addition to the extensive qualifications of our monitoring team, the following section provides additional detail on the CNA Monitoring Team’s current and recent experience providing assessment, monitoring, training, and technical assistance support to law enforcement agencies (within the past 10 years). Below we highlight programs that are similar in nature and scope to the requirements outlined in the Request for Applications. Collaborative Reform Initiative (CRI) CNA helped the DOJ COPS Office design, develop, and implement the Collaborative Reform program, which has resulted in improved community-police engagement and has resulted in documented declines in officer-involved shootings and use of force complaints. Under this program, CNA has supported assessment and monitoring activities in Las Vegas, Spokane, and Philadelphia. Reference: Tawana Waugh Elliot Senior Program Specialist Community Oriented Policing Services 145 N Street NE Washington, DC 20530 (212) 307-2993 tawana.waugh@usdoj.gov A Review of Officer-Involved Shootings in the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department In 2011, the COPS Office issued CNA a grant to examine the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s (LVMPD) policies and practices as they relate to the use of force and officerinvolved shootings (OIS) in response to a negative Las Vegas Review Journal (LVRJ) five-part investigative series titled “Deadly Force: When Las Vegas Police Shoot, and Kill.” The LVRJ investigative series, based on LVMPD data on OISs over the past 20 years, raised concern about LVMPD’s lack of police accountability both to the department’s review bodies and to community stakeholders. The focus of the CNA review centered on LVMPD deadly force issue areas involving: 1) policy and procedures; 2) training and tactics; 3) investigation and documentation; and 4) review. CNA implemented a multifaceted approach to the review of LVMPD’s policies and practices by: ƒ ƒ ƒ ƒ ƒ ƒ Interviewing nearly 100 officers and community stakeholders; Directly observing LVMPD’s internal and policing (external) operations; Conducting a detailed study of volumes of internal documents; Conducting an analysis of LVMPD data on OISs; Reviewing relevant national standards and practices of other similar jurisdictions; and Delivering direct technical assistance and establishing a collaborative partnership with LVMPD throughout this engagement. After 6 months of conducting our review and collaboratively working with LVMPD, CNA documented 40 LVMPD reforms regarding use of force policies and other areas related to OISs. CNA also made 36 new findings and 40 new recommendations. As part of our technical assistance, CNA helped the LVMPD to develop reality-based training, which uses actual scenarios that can be varied, and can be delivered to individual officers and teams of officers. Reality-based training has been validated as more effective than lectures and Shoot Don’t Shoot technologies, and the officers and their supervisors retain the information .The goal of the final assessment report was to: ƒ Reduce the number of shootings; 14 Request for Proposal – Independent Monitor Consent Decree, Cleveland Division of Police ƒ ƒ ƒ Reduce the number of persons killed as a result of OISs; Transform LVMPD’s organization and culture as it relates to deadly force; and Enhance officer safety. The final Report has had a tremendous impact on police use of force policy nationwide. Many police departments, including Phoenix, Oakland, and Philadelphia, have begun using this report as a template for setting use of force policy, practices, and training. At DOJ, this project has changed the culture by creating a collaborative approach for reviewing issues instead of entering into an onerous Consent Decree process. The COPS Office Collaborative Reform Process provides review and technical assistance for police departments that are facing critical incidents in their communities. During the press conference releasing the final Report, Bernard Melekian, Director of the COPS Office at the time, stated that the CNA process used to develop this report on the use of deadly force in LVMPD established “a groundbreaking national model,” aimed at reforming police departments in a collaborative fashion. DOJ is now able to affect change at local police departments by organically changing their culture through collaboration. Monitoring of the Las Vegas Police Department After the final report with findings and recommended reforms was delivered to the LVMPD, CNA began monitoring LVMPD’s progress in implementing the recommendations and providing technical advice and assistance for the Department’s Critical Incident Review Process Manual. Prior to beginning this assessment, CNA developed a Monitoring Plan. This plan outlined the approach of the compliance reviews, included the methodologies and performances measures used to assess progress, identified appropriate data collection procedures, outlined the role of subject matter experts, and provided a budget documenting projected costs. In reporting LVMPD’s progress to the COPS Office, CNA completes and delivers monthly outcome assessments and progress reports. The monthly outcome assessments document the effect of the recommendations on the department and the progress in meeting the four reform goals established as part of the review. These assessments have also allowed CNA and the COPS Office to reassess the recommendations and implementation steps as needed. The progress reports provide the COPS Office with updates on the project financial status and updates on project activities, and summarize project outcomes and challenges. As part of this project, CNA has also conducted site visits to discuss implementation progress with LVMPD’s executive command, officers, and community stakeholders. A Review of Use of Force Policies and Procedures in the Spokane Police Department In 2013, CNA initiated a comprehensive assessment of the Spokane Police Department’s (SPD) use of force policies and practices as part of the Collaborative Reform Initiative—a cooperative agreement between the DOJ COPS Office and CNA. The goal of the reform project in Spokane, Washington, is to improve departmental use of force processes in the SPD while taking into account national standards, best practices, existing research, and community expectations. As part of the assessment, CNA examined departmental use of force policies, procedures, investigations, training, and accountability systems. In addition to this, CNA analyzed 243 use of force investigation files covering a 5-year period to provide a contextual understanding on use of force incidents and identify gaps in the investigation of these incidents. CNA also interviewed 85 department personnel and 55 community stakeholders, and surveyed 50 officers on their 15 Request for Proposal – Independent Monitor Consent Decree, Cleveland Division of Police perspectives related to procedural justice, constitutional policing, and use of force. As a result, CNA found that while the department does not routinely and deliberately engage in excessive use of force or deadly force, there are a number of aspects of use of force training, documentation, officer remediation, accountability, and other administrative and management practices that have historically been ignored or poorly managed. In total, CNA has made over 40 findings and recommendations to improve SPD use of force policies and practices. CNA completed a final assessment report documenting the findings and recommended reforms based on the data collected. CNA will monitor the Department’s implementation of the reforms over an 18-month period. A Review of Officer-Involved Shootings in the Philadelphia Police Department In 2013, CNA initiated a comprehensive assessment of the Philadelphia Police Department’s (PPD) deadly force policies and practices, as part of the Collaborative Reform Initiative. CNA set out with the goal to reform deadly force policies, practices, and related processes, taking into account national standards, best practices, current and emerging research, and community expectations. Specifically, CNA was charged with producing a set of recommendations that would help the department meet the following objectives: ƒ ƒ ƒ ƒ Enhance training as it relates to officer and public safety in deadly force situations. Improve the quality and transparency of deadly force investigations from both a criminal and administrative standpoint. Strengthen the use of force review process. Institutionalize organizational learning processes and practices related to deadly force incidents. CNA reviewed dozens of policies and training manuals related to use of force, investigations, and community relations; interviewed over 100 PPD personnel and community members; observed PPD operations and training in real time; and analyzed seven years of deadly force incidents to inform the assessment. As a result, CNA found that PPD should make significant improvements in policy, training, investigations, review, and external oversight of deadly force incidents. In total, CNA has made over 40 findings and over 80 recommendations to improve PPD deadly force policies and practices. The final report will be published in the coming months, after which CNA will monitor the implementation of the recommendations for a period of 12 months.

This request came as a result of the Civil Rights Division launching an investigation into allegations that the department was discriminating against the Latino community in East Haven. CNA was provided with a database of EHPD activity 16 Reference: Luis Saucedo Civil Rights Division U.S. Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20530 (202) 514-4609 luis.salcedo@usdoj.gov Request for Proposal – Independent Monitor Consent Decree, Cleveland Division of Police that included stops, citations, and arrests, and focused our analysis on motor vehicle stops to isolate the most discretionary actions of the police, where biases may play a role. This resulted in a dataset of over 3,000 motor vehicle stops over a two-year period. To analyze for any disparate effects of motor vehicle stops, CNA developed four theoretically relevant benchmarks that predicted the ethnic composition of motor vehicle stops. The study yielded several significant findings. For one, EHPD, as a whole, stops a disproportionate number of Latinos, based on each of three predicted motorist populations. In addition, two out of three of the department’s squads were also found to stop a significantly greater proportion of Latinos than suggested by all three benchmarks. CNA delivered a report documenting this analysis to the DOJ Civil Rights Division, which then used the report to develop the Findings Letter which stated that the EHPD had engaged in a pattern and practice of discrimination against the Hispanic population in East Haven. Smart Policing Initiative (SPI) As the current SPI training and technical assistance (TTA) Reference: provider for this BJA program, CNA effectively supports over 35 Kate McNamee law enforcement agencies in monitoring grant funding and in Policy Advisor incorporating research into innovative, replicable, and costBureau of Justice Assistance Office of Justice Programs effective operations. CNA developed and implemented an 810 Seventh Street, NW interactive and leading-edge approach focused on targeted TTA Washington, DC 20531 from subject matter experts, broader knowledge enhancement (202) 598-5248 through online resources, and collaboration through national and catherine.mcnamee@usdoj.gov regional networks. CNA’s breadth of expertise provides flexibility in addressing simple to complex problems for agencies of all sizes and all levels of sophistication. Through such experience and close relationships with grantee sites, CNA can extract and share best practices and knowledge gained with wider audiences, using cost-effective and easily accessible mechanisms. For example, CNA maintains the SPI website, which houses many resources, including research reports, web-based training, and podcasts. We have grown website membership to over 1,700 members, and we disseminate findings in over 120 countries/territories. In addition, we send monthly email updates and quarterly newsletters to members; provide opportunities to participate in webinars; and have increased awareness of Smart Policing by engaging in social media and networking with local, state, and regional police organizations. Violence Reduction Network (VRN) The DOJ VRN is a comprehensive approach to violence reduction, launched in 2013 by BJA, which complements the U.S. Attorney General’s Smart on Crime Initiative by leveraging the vast array of existing resources across DOJ components to reduce violence in some of the country’s most violent cities. VRN brings to the table DOJ law enforcement and grant-making agencies to collaborate with VRN cities on implementing their violence reduction strategies. With the support of CNA as a training and technical assistance provider, DOJ is working in partnership with police chiefs and other local partners on effective approaches to accomplishing their violence reduction strategies through the 17 Reference: Kristie Brackens Senior Policy Advisor on Law Enforcement Co-Director of the Violence Reduction Network Bureau of Justice Assistance Office of Justice Programs 810 Seventh Street, NW Washington, DC 20531 (202) 305-1229 kristie.brackens@usdoj.gov Request for Proposal – Independent Monitor Consent Decree, Cleveland Division of Police strategic delivery of resources. CNA supports the VRN by overseeing strategic site liaisons, assigned as technical assistance brokers, to ensure each site receives strategically focused TTA that is consistent with and complementary to the site’s local violence reduction efforts. Our other activities include coordinating, tracking, and evaluating the delivery of resources, analyzing violent crime data and other socioeconomic factors impacting violence in communities nationwide, and promoting the growth of communities of practices through peer-to-peer learning and tailored technical assistance from leading criminal justice researchers and practitioners. Critical Incident Response CNA has assessed police critical incidents that occurred in Oakland, California (2009); Tampa, Florida (2010); and Baltimore, Maryland (2011), in which police officers were shot and killed in the line of duty. These incidents also involved issues in the use of deadly force, accountability, investigations, incident command, and training. CNA used our proven approach of observation, reconstruction, assessment, and analysis to identify critical lessons and needed improvements to existing capabilities. At the conclusion of our analysis for each of these incidents, CNA produced a report documenting lessons learned and best practices. The findings documented in these reports have reached national audiences and are proving beneficial to agencies across the country that are seeking to address and/or respond to similar issues in a more effective manner. In addition, CNA has most recently provided onsite analytical support to the Tampa and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Departments during the 2012 Presidential Nominating Conventions. CNA directly observed each police department’s operations and response during the conventions and documented lessons learned and best practices. In addition to developing sitespecific reports documenting our assessment and findings, CNA used these findings to develop a Planning Primer. This Planning Primer provides law enforcement agencies that are in charge of maintaining security in large-scale events with a guide on planning for, and operating during, a large-scale event.

Proposed Activities Overview of our Monitoring Approach The figure below depicts our approach to the five-year CDP monitoring engagement. Our approach comprises five phases, each of which is described below. Figure 4: Monitoring Approach Phase I: Monitoring Preparation (Year 1, months 1-2) Prior to the initiation of monitoring activities at CDP, we will undertake several preparations, such as negotiating a contract for the monitoring activities with the City of Cleveland; establishing a local office, website, and communications capability for the monitoring project, including a portal for community inquiries, reports, and suggestions; assembling and orienting the CNA Monitoring Team; and establishing a regular system of contacts and communication protocols among all entities involved in the monitoring process, including a mechanism for secure, password-protected communications where privacy concerns are present. We will also conduct two initial site visits to initiate the project and introduce the CNA Monitoring Team. Phase II: Assessment of City and Police Department Capacity (Year 1, months 3 to 4) The best way to ensure that CDP has the greatest likelihood of implementing the reforms mandated in the forthcoming Settlement Agreement is to first determine its organizational capacity to complete the required work and move forward with reforms. Thus, before the monitoring process begins in Cleveland, we will conduct a thorough assessment of CDP’s capability to complete those tasks and responsibilities. This assessment will provide the following critical information that will help determine the course and the pace of the monitoring process, and provide a roadmap for successful reform at CDP: x x x A baseline assessment of the current status of the Department’s ability to complete the tasks and responsibilities set forth in the Settlement Agreement. Information regarding the CDP strengths at the outset of the monitoring process; in areas where capacity is strong or sufficient, monitoring can begin almost immediately. Information regarding CDP’s gaps in resources and expertise. In areas where capacity is weak or non-existent, we will develop and coordinate the training and technical 20 Request for Proposal – Independent Monitor Consent Decree, Cleveland Division of Police assistance required enabling the City and CDP to meet their responsibilities under the Settlement Agreement. We will develop a written report documenting CDP’s current capacity to meet the mandates of the Settlement Agreement within four months of the initiation of the monitoring project. The Justice Department, the City, the CDP, and the other signatories to the Settlement Agreement will have opportunities to review and comment on both the assessment protocol and the report. Phase III: Technical Assistance and Training (Year 1, month7 to year 4, month 12) We expect that the capacity assessment conducted in Phase II will identify several gaps that must be filled before CDP can begin the tasks and activities in the Settlement Agreement. For example, there may be a need for information system refinements or upgrades; training on performance evaluations or officer recruitment; assistance in organizing policies, procedures, and training files; and/or assistance in implementing transparency processes while safeguarding confidential information. Where gaps are found, they must be attended to before serious reforms or formal monitoring can begin. As training and technical assistance needs are identified, CNA, in cooperation with the CDP, will define the specific need, determine the appropriate course of action, and deliver appropriate technical assistance. We anticipate providing this assistance through various on-site and off-site mechanisms, including site-visits, phone calls, webinars. Phase IV: Monitoring Activities in Eleven Substantive Areas (Year 1, month 6, through Year 5, month 12) Our Compliance Leads will use a combination of methods to monitor compliance, including but not limited to the following: analysis of agency records; observation of agency operations; review of policies, procedures, directives, and other pertinent documents; interviews with relevant personnel; analysis of personnel and other resources devoted to particular units or tasks; and CNA and our monitoring team experts surveys and interviews of agency personnel and the have many years of experience serving Cleveland community. Members of our research and as police and corrections compliance technical staff support the Compliance Leads in carrying monitors, and reporting assessment out these activates. and analysis results to Department of Justice agencies. Our team has a We will implement these methods on an annual or proven track record of delivering quarterly basis, depending on the anticipated frequencies concise, accurate, and high-quality with which individual monitoring targets will occur. For monitoring reports in a timely fashion. example, training will occur on a more frequent basis than policy development; thus, most training monitoring will occur quarterly and most policy monitoring will occur annually. CNA will develop performance metrics for each substantive area in the Settlement Agreement and for each sub-component within the substantive areas. As a general rule, CDP must sustain compliance for 18 months once the performance metric is attained in order to be considered compliant. Performance metrics under this monitoring plan will specify quantitative and qualitative measures for each requirement in the Consent Decree, and the threshold criterion for what will constitute compliance. Phase V: Monitoring Reporting (Year 1, Month 6, to Year 5, Month 12) We propose delivering an initial six-month progress report to the Justice Department and all signatories to the Consent Decree, and progress reports every four months for the remaining 21 Request for Proposal – Independent Monitor Consent Decree, Cleveland Division of Police monitoring period. These reports will include a description of the work conducted by the Independent Monitor and our team, the extent to which each requirement has been met, the methodology and findings for each review conducted, the monitor’s recommendations for achieving compliance, and a projection of the work to be completed in the next reporting period, including anticipated challenges and concerns. Our approach is designed to ensure that the CDP will be in full compliance with the Consent Decree within five years of its initiation. CNA will produce a final report regarding the implementation and monitoring of CDP under the Consent Decree, the capacity assessment, technical assistance provided, monitoring metrics and audit methodologies, and the extent to which CDP is found to be partially compliant or fully compliant with the mandates of the Consent Decree. Below we summarize the monitoring methods we will employ for each of the 11 substantive areas in the Request for Proposals. Our monitoring team will use a combination of methods to monitor and audit compliance. Examples include the following: x x x x x x Analysis of agency records Observations of agency operations and activities Review of policies, procedures, directives, and other pertinent documents Interviews with relevant personnel Analysis of personnel and other resources devoted to particular units or tasks Surveys of agency personnel and Cleveland community members.

Figure 5: Methods of Obtaining Information We will obtain information from various sources including, but not necessarily limited to, the following: x CDP investigative and administrative records, both manual and automated. Performing the monitoring and auditing tasks for several of the substantive areas will require that the CNA Monitoring Team obtain automated and manual records pertaining to use of force incidents and investigations (including all deadly force incidents), citizen complaints of police misconduct (especially complaints of theft by officers), officer training, stops and arrests, officer discipline, and the early warning system. For analysis purposes, these data will be obtained for at least the five years prior to the implementation of monitoring, and for every year of the five-year monitoring period, preferably in individual units of analysis and aggregated monthly. These records and data will be obtained through direct communication between the Management Administrator at CNA and the CDP designated responsible individual for providing access to CDP records. Automated information will be transferred via a secure, password protected, file transfer protocol (FTP) function. When collection of paper records is required, CNA analysts and assistants from Cleveland State University will either collect the data themselves or work cooperatively with CDP records staff to obtain the records. x Police documents. The CNA Monitoring Team will request a number of documents for use in our work; for example, policies and procedures, training manuals and training materials, minutes of relevant meetings, and planning documents. Requests for police documents will be made through the Management Administrator, working with a monitoring liaison appointed by CDP. x Observations of CDP operations and activities. A substantial portion of the monitoring and auditing work for this monitoring initiative will be obtained through direct 25 Request for Proposal – Independent Monitor Consent Decree, Cleveland Division of Police observation of CDP activities, such as training sessions, meetings (e.g., planning meetings, Compstat meetings, force review board meetings, citizen review board meetings), ride alongs with patrol officers, and public or community events that involve interaction with police personnel and Cleveland community members. These observations will be coordinated by the Management Administrator, with input from the Compliance Leads, CNA analysts, Cleveland State personnel, and the parties to the Consent Decree. Notes will be taken during these observations, and occasionally observations may be recorded (with proper informed consent). x Interviews. CNA Monitoring Team Compliance Leads and CNA analysts will conduct a series of interviews with a number of different individuals representing the parties to the Consent Decree and related parties instrumental to the success of the Consent Decree during the course of the monitoring initiative. These interviews will consist mostly of open-ended questions regarding all the substantive areas of concern, covering such topics as: respondents’ understanding of the relevant policies, knowledge of day-to-day police practices, progress and improvements at CDP, and obstacles to progress at CDP. In addition, CNA analysts and Cleveland State personnel will conduct interviews of community leaders and community members periodically, typically at the quarterly community meetings and forums (see “Executive Summary” above). Interviews will be coordinated by the Management Administrator with assistance from Cleveland State personnel. x Research data collection. This monitoring initiative requires that social science surveys of police personnel and community members be conducted periodically (in the first, third, and fifth years of the monitoring period). These surveys will contribute to the CNA Monitoring Team’s understanding of the pace of progress and the extent to which reforms at CDP have become integrated into agency day-to-day practices, and they will help the CNA Monitoring Team gauge the extent to which the desired progress in community policing and restoring of public trust and confidence in the police has taken place. These surveys will be coordinated by the Management Administrator with substantial assistance from the researchers on the Technical Experts Panel and they will adhere to the mandates of the Institutional Review Board regarding ethical treatment of human research subjects. Methods of analyzing information We will approach the analysis of the information obtained through the methods described above in several ways: x Quantitative information (e.g., automated records of complaints, stops, arrests, use of force incidents) will be analyzed using standard statistical techniques for summarizing and interpreting the data, such as trend analysis, time series analysis, frequency distributions, and bivariate and cross-tabular analysis. x Analysis of bias will include comparisons of stop, search, arrest, and use of force data along such lines as comparison of race, gender, and age of the citizens and officers involved in the activities; calculation of rates of police activity by race, gender, and age of involved individuals/suspects (e.g., number of stops and arrests per 1,000 population for blacks, whites, and Hispanics); comparison of the frequency of such events to the 26 Request for Proposal – Independent Monitor Consent Decree, Cleveland Division of Police representation of different ethnic groups in the Cleveland population, controlling for such factors as violent crime activity, day vs. nighttime population makeup, and ethnicity of the officer involved). x Information obtained through interviews, observations, open-ended survey questions, and ride alongs will be analyzed through qualitative analysis techniques such as grounded theory development (an iterative process of reviewing and summarizing qualitative information and developing themes and categories from this analytical activity) and computer software programs that search for common words or phrases in text material. x Monitoring findings will be compared to existing standards or mandates. A large portion of the analysis activity will involve the comparison of monitoring findings (both quantitative and qualitative) to legislative mandates, to the mandates and requirements of the anticipated Consent Decree, and to existing police agency standards and best practices. Methods of reporting information We will report information to a variety of audiences in several different ways. The anticipated audiences for our reports include, but are not necessarily limited to: x The parties to the Consent Decree—the Mayor, City Council, Chief of Police, U.S. Attorney’s Office, and DOJ—and other relevant parties such as collective bargaining units and the citizen complaint oversight board; x The general Cleveland community, including a list of community-based organizations covering neighborhoods of Cleveland; x The news media (print, radio, and Internet). The CNA Monitoring Team will produce several types of public reports regarding this monitoring initiative, with the general purpose of disseminating information about the progress of the monitoring effort and the extent to which compliance is being achieved in each of the 11 substantive areas. These reports will be available in print and electronic formats and will be widely disseminated to the audiences listed above. They will be publicly available on the CDP monitoring website as well. The CNA Monitoring Team will produce reports for the Court, as directed by DOJ and the judge presiding over the anticipated Consent Decree, which will also be made available to the public. As directed by the Court, the CNA Monitoring Team will also prepare reports for limited dissemination, when matters of privacy and confidentiality are paramount. Frequency of proposed activities As noted above, monitoring team visits will occur on monthly or quarterly basis, depending on the complexity of any specific monitoring task, on the progress CDP is making toward compliance, and on the type of meeting. There will be monthly meetings with the parties to the anticipated Consent Decree and quarterly meetings with community organizations, community leaders, and community members. Progress reports will be provided at monthly and yearly intervals. 27 Request for Proposal – Independent Monitor Consent Decree, Cleveland Division of Police Personnel responsible for monitoring activities Responsibilities for the different members of the CNA Monitoring Team are described earlier in Section II (Personnel) of this proposal. Table 5 outlines the number of hours anticipated on-site by the CNA Monitoring Team. Additional information on on-site hours is provided in Section VII (Estimated Costs). Table 5.

The Management Administrator will work closely with Dr. Dunn at Cleveland State University in the coordination of local monitoring activities with the relevant parties, and with community leaders and community organizations. The Management Administrator will develop and disseminate a yearly calendar of monitoring events, which will serve as the basis for scheduling visits, meetings, and events. This calendar will be a discussion topic at the monthly meetings between the Monitor, Deputy Monitor, and the parties to the anticipated Consent Decree, and it will be posted on the CDP Monitoring website for easy access. A Note about Understanding the Local Situation The CNA team is aware of the racial and ethnic diversity of the Cleveland community, suggesting that the troubling practices of CDP are not restricted to one ethnic group. Whatever happens in the name of reform and improvement at CDP must reflect and respond to the community’s concerns and be explained to a diverse group of concerned communities. Our proposal addresses the diverse ethnic community in Cleveland, Ohio, and incorporates strategies and practices that ensure that all Cleveland community members have opportunities to voice their opinions and experiences, have access to the CNA Monitoring Team, and receive culturally tailored and sensitive information and reports on the progress of reform at CDP. This is essential if true community input and engagement with CDP is to be achieved in Cleveland. Our approach to this monitoring task is grounded in a data-driven assessment of agency progress toward established reform goals. Our team of subject matter experts and analysts will develop 28 Request for Proposal – Independent Monitor Consent Decree, Cleveland Division of Police and use objective, measurable criteria for monitoring the implementation of the Consent Decree. The CNA Monitoring Team will continually assess progress in implementing and maintaining reforms and will provide technical assistance should agency progress on specific reform goals falter. The team will routinely engage community stakeholders in the process to ensure that agency reforms build community trust and police legitimacy. Our approach ensures objectivity and promotes consensus building among all stakeholders while tapping the best experts in the field. Collectively, our team has monitored and assessed over 30 police and correctional agencies and has incorporated lessons learned from those engagements into our approach to the Cleveland monitoring tasks. 29 Request for Proposal – Independent Monitor Consent Decree, Cleveland Division of Police VI. Potential Conflicts of Interest or Bias The CNA Monitoring Team does not have any potential or perceived conflicts of interest involving team members, associated partners or organizations, or an employee(s) assigned to the project, or proposed subcontractor(s), including current or former employment contracts or grants with the City, the CDP, or the United States, and any involvement in the last eight years (whether paid or unpaid) with a claim or lawsuit by or against the City, the CDP, or the United States or any of their officers, agents or employees. None of the team members proposed in this application have been the proponent or subject of any complaint, claim or lawsuit alleging misconduct. The CNA Monitoring Team will ensure that for the duration of the Monitorship, no individual member of the CNA Monitoring Team will be permitted to represent any individual or organization in any criminal or civil matter involving the United States Attorney’s Office or the Northern District of Ohio. 30 Request for Proposal – Independent Monitor Consent Decree, Cleveland Division of Police VII.

Dunn is an associate professor of Urban Studies at the Maxine-Levin Goodman College of Urban Affairs at Cleveland State University. He is an urban sociologist that teaches classes in Public Safety & Justice Management, Contemporary Urban Issues, and AfricanAmerican Images in Film, and a research associate in the Criminology Research Center at Cleveland State. His research interests include issues affecting minorities and the urban poor, with a specific focus on race, crime, and the criminal justice system. His particular area of expertise is racial profiling, as reflected in his 2011 book, Racial Profiling: Causes and Consequences (Kendall-Hunt Publishing Co.). The empirical research in this text led to the use of traffic cameras in the city of Cleveland, which was intended as a means to reduce the racial bias in traffic enforcement. The use of traffic cameras was soon adopted by municipalities throughout the state. Some of his other scholarly publications in this area include, “The Marginalization and Criminalization of the Black Male Image in Postmodern in America,” in the book Color Behind Bars (2014), and The Relevance of Race in Citizen Complaints Against the Police, in the journal Administrative Theory & Praxis (2010). It was his recommendation to two state senators to call for a statewide commission on policing that led Ohio Governor John Kasich to establish The Ohio Taskforce on Police-Community Relations, to which Dr. Dunn was appointed. He was also invited to and submitted written testimony to the President’s Taskforce on 21st Century Policing and has travelled to Washington on several occasions lobbying legislators on Capitol Hill for reforms within the criminal justice system. Dr. Dunn is intimately involved in the efforts to address issues relative to policing and police-community relations within the city of Cleveland as well as throughout Cuyahoga County and the state of Ohio. Dr. Dunn serves as the chairman of the Board of Commissioners for the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority, the oldest and 12th largest public housing agency in the nation. He is also a member of the Cleveland NAACP’s Criminal Justice Committee, as well as a number of professional and civic organizations.

Phase two (Floyd v. New York City) involved analyzing training, policies, and procedures as they related to the New York City Police Department’s practice of Stop, Question, and Frisk. Ms. Rodriguez King assisted Mr. Stewart in reviewing departmental policy, training, performance measures, and remedies taken by other police departments that have faced similar and/or related litigation. Title: The Baltimore Police Department (BPD): Police-Involved Shooting of January 9, 2011 Client: City of Baltimore; Baltimore Police Commissioner Period of Performance: July – October 2011 Role: Research Analyst Ms. Rodriguez King supported the development of the AAR and provided direct assistance in drafting a number of sections within the report. As part of this process, she conducted extensive research in both BPD policies and procedures on incident management, and its criminal and internal investigations. The analysis she conducted provided essential analytical support to the findings and recommendations made by the Internal Review Board (IRB). The IRB vetted and finalized the report, which was been delivered to the Baltimore Police Department and the City of Baltimore’s Mayor. Title: Tampa Police Department After-Action Report Client: DOJ COPS Office and TPD 70 Request for Proposal – Independent Monitor Consent Decree, Cleveland Division of Police Period of Performance: August 2010 – May 2011 Role: Project Manager/ Research Analyst Ms. Rodriguez King provided analytical support in the development of the AAR for an incident that occurred June 29–July 2, 2010 involving the brutal murder of two Tampa Police Department officers. Due to a pending death penalty trial for the suspect, the AAR was focused on the use of the Incident Command System (ICS) throughout the incident. Ms. Rodriguez King assisted in conducting over 30 interviews with local, state, and federal agency officials. In collaboration with the rest of the team supporting this project, she discussed and analyzed the information gathered from these interviews in the final AAR. Upon completion, the team delivered the AAR to the Tampa Police Department and the COPS Office to better inform others in the law enforcement field on how to successfully utilize ICS in a prolonged incident. In addition, it demonstrates how community policing can play a large role in the capture and response of the incident. Relevant Publications and Reports Rodriguez King, Denise. (2014).

Administration of Justice (Computer Information Processing), Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, IL, 1985 Work Experience Various Ranks (Police Officer to Deputy Chief), Chicago Police Dept. 79 June 1991 - Present Request for Proposal – Independent Monitor Consent Decree, Cleveland Division of Police Relevant Project Experience Title: Chicago Police Predictive Policing Demonstration and Evaluation Project Client: Chicago Police Department (CPD) Role: CPD Project Lead This multi-phase $3 million National Institute of Justice effort is a partnership between CPD and the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) to develop a crime prediction platform. The effort has funded the creation of a tool that uses a vast array of data and an algorithm-based prediction model to create a Strategic Subjects List (SSL) of persons with a prior criminal record who have the greatest probability of being involved in a shooting, or any type of homicide, within the upcoming 18-month period. The SSL prediction model ranks these individuals and prepares a list of the 400 or so highest-risk individuals (about 20 per police District) for command staff, principally to identify individuals to involve in CPD’s Custom Notifications program, an evidence-based intervention to provide targeted services to individuals and their closest "influentials" (close family and friends) who have been victimized by public violence themselves and/or who are at extremely high risk to be involved in retaliatory violence and/or additional victimization. The Custom Notification Program. During a “custom notification,” a CPD District Commander, community representatives serving as “the voice of the community,” and service providers plan and make a home visit with the at-risk individual and his/her “influentials” (who may be able to influence the individual’s decisions and actions) to deliver a multi-part message: (1) the individual is at very high risk of being shot and injured again or killed, or being the shooter and spending his life behind bars; (2) his community needs him and wants to support him; and (3) he can access social services that will help him leave the gang life behind and become a responsible member of his community. The SSL Prediction Model. This violence prevention tool has been continually enhanced since it was first implemented. Version 1 made predictions using a social network constructed from records of criminal co-activity between persons with a recent prior criminal record. A simple probability table was constructed using a basic regression model and each subject’s relationships to prior homicide victims to predict an individual’s probability of becoming a homicide victim, under the assumption that victim and offender populations are highly overlapping. Version 2 greatly refined the model by replacing reliance on homicide victims with a framework in which the social network was defined in terms of relationships to any “party to violence” (PTV, a victim or offender in a shooting incident, or any type of homicide). Version 2 used a customized regression model to predict each subject’s probability of becoming a PTV. Version 3, recently completed, is a full-blown machine learning model which goes well beyond reliance on social networks. Version 3 utilizes 33 variables relating to an individual’s history of criminal activities, including the frequency and types of prior arrests, and takes extreme care to exclude variables that may directly or indirectly constitute unfair profiling (i.e., race, name, gender, ethnicity, and neighborhood information are excluded from the model). Version 3 systematically “trained,” validated, and tested state-of-the-art machine learning prediction models to optimize the SSL model’s precision in identifying the fraction of the top N subjects who will become parties to violence in the upcoming period. As part of this effort, IIT developed a novel technique for balancing “positive and negative training sets” using the 80 Request for Proposal – Independent Monitor Consent Decree, Cleveland Division of Police “likelihood ratio” within a “principal components feature space” to extract the few most violent subjects from a database of hundreds of thousands of individuals. Also, SSL Version 3 now has a user-friendly web portal dashboard to deliver the list, along with supporting information to inform the user as to the rationale behind the model’s risk assessment, and other supporting information about the subjects. Lewin served as the CPD Project Lead for this effort, coordinating all work between CPD and IIT, engaging stakeholders to develop requirements, developing scopes of work for key deliverables, developing policies and procedures to guide system development and use, establishing performance metrics, developing training programs, and working with Department command staff to ensure integration with organizational processes. Lewin also conducted presentations with the academic partner, Dr. Miles Wernick, at conferences such as the 2014 International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) annual event in Orlando, FL. Title: FY2015 Smart Policing Initiative Client: Chicago Police Department (CPD) Role: CPD Project Lead This project, with an application submitted in March, 2015, and awaiting decision, builds upon the work of the NIJ-funded effort described above. In this project, IIT will make major enhancements to CPD’s SSL software to develop real-time capabilities for identifying persons who may be at immediate risk for involvement in violence due to recent crime incidents, allowing CPD to take preventive action. The IIT team will also study the potential to differentiate persons who are most likely to be offenders from those who are most likely to become victims of violence, as well as the potential to differentiate persons by what is driving their risk (high participation in violence v. high-risk lifestyles such as substance or gambling abuse, for example). All determinations will be made solely for persons having a recent criminal record, avoiding the use of discriminatory information including race, ethnicity, or gender. Final considerations on whether a person will be included in the Custom Notifications program will be made by sworn CPD personnel assigned to the department's Deployment Operations Center who will use the SSL-provided recommendations as a starting point for expert assessments. IIT will develop new predictive models for SSL that will be based on their successful prior work in cancer detection from medical MRI images While crime prediction and cancer detection may seem very different, they are very closely related at a technical level; IIT will leverage their past experience in both crime prediction (working since 2009 with CPD) and in medical image analysis. In this approach, IIT will exploit statistical correlations among persons who are near one another in Chicago’s criminal social network. The IIT team will also study the potential to use dynamical social network models so that temporal information can be used to better identify high-risk individuals in a time-sensitive fashion to allow for preventive action to be taken. The aim of this project will be to leverage this finding into actionable intelligence for CPD by incorporating information about recent violent crimes into a complex prediction model. Methodology: SSL Evaluation. As required by the grant, CPD will enlist the services of RAND Corporation to conduct the necessary quantitative evaluation of the improved SSL model and 81 Request for Proposal – Independent Monitor Consent Decree, Cleveland Division of Police interventions. RAND Corporation conducted an NIJ-funded evaluation of Version 1.0 of IIT’s SSL model and CPD’s intervention strategy. Based on this prior experience and its qualifications, RAND will serve as evaluation partner for CPD's FY15 BJA Smart Policing Initiative and will conduct evaluation activities consistent with its evaluation of Version 1.0 SSL, allowing for direct comparisons of how the predictive model, prevention model, and outcomes have changed over time. First, RAND will evaluate the enhanced SSL predictive model. RAND will assess the performance of the IIT model in identifying which persons are most likely to be a party to violence, as well as how well the model segments high-risk persons into operationally actionable categories, such as persistent risk vs. short-term risk; perpetrators vs. likely victims; and high risk due to lifestyle behavior (e.g., substance or gambling abuse) vs. directly participating in violence. RAND will assess the business process by which high-scoring persons get placed on the operational SSL. RAND will analyze differences between SSL members and those who are not on the SSL but have similarly high risk scores, as well. Second, RAND will evaluate the revamped intervention model and conduct site visits to capture the intervention model, to include preparing logic models and business process diagrams for principal intervention activities (using the Business Process Model and Notation standard). During the evaluation period, RAND will interview all District Commanders as well as a subset of line officers carrying out SSL interventions directly. Special attention will be paid to capturing commonalities about the interventions as well as how the interventions are being tailored to subjects in different categories. RAND will assess how the SSL is supporting intelligence collection and analysis, as well. Third, RAND will evaluate the outputs and outcomes of the SSL effort, comparing outputs and outcomes for SSL members against a control group of other individuals who collectively have similar risk. RAND will use the sophisticated yet well-established method of propensity score matching to generate the control group and conduct the comparisons [6, 7]. Outputs will include measures of police contact and arrests (and potentially “arrest quality”). Outcomes will include being a party to violence (perpetrator / victim), a party to a homicide, and weapons charges. RAND will also track whether there are significant declines in homicide and aggravated assault citywide during the evaluation period. Lewin will serve as the CPD Project Lead for this effort, coordinating all work between CPD and IIT, engaging stakeholders to develop requirements, developing scopes of work for key deliverables, developing policies and procedures to guide system development and use, establishing performance metrics, developing training programs, and working with Department command staff to ensure integration with organizational processes.
