Executive Summary OIR Group has the ability and experience needed to be an effective monitor for the Cleveland Division of Police (CDP) – to oversee its reform efforts and support it as it implements the changes it needs to better engage with its community and become the distinguished agency the City of Cleveland wants and deserves. OIR Group attorneys have been engaging with law enforcement agencies to effect change in various and meaningful ways for the past 14 years. For this project, OIR Group also has engaged with two professors at Case Western Reserve University – one a law professor who has literally written the book on Ohio Search and Seizure law, and the other a scholar whose work has focused on how race and class issues intersect with life in urban communities. Through them, we intend to build a partnership with the University that will ensure our monitoring team is deeply connected with the communities the CDP serves. With the additional support of a number of police and other subject matter experts skilled in reviewing force, Fourth Amendment issues, crisis intervention, training, and development of best practices, OIR Group has assembled a team that is uniquely qualified to serve the parties and the Court in ensuring that the objectives of the Consent Decree are met and that the progress of the CDP towards compliance with its conditions are charted in a meaningful way. As we have experienced with other recent settlements and consent decrees, OIR Group believes that the settlement agreement reached here will provide a road map to ensure that the Cleveland Division of Police performs its policing functions consistently with constitutional mandates. The objectives of the agreement are consistent with our own emphasis and promotion of progressive policing, as manifested in our work with a variety of different agencies. The skill sets and experience that OIR Group team members possess would bring a valuable qualitative component to the monitoring responsibilities set forth in the Decree. Relevant Experience As reflected in our list of Qualifications, Experience and References, OIR Group has expertise in all the specific areas the DOJ Findings identified as problematic within the Cleveland Division of Police. OIR Group has likewise worked with a number of other agencies to promote the constitutional policing principles CDP needs to achieve to satisfy the dictates of the settlement agreement: ! ! Unnecessary and Excessive Use of Deadly Force. As the oversight entity for the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department, OIR Group reviewed over 500 officerinvolved shootings and scores of incidents involving head strikes with impact weapons. As a result, OIR Group members have developed a particular understanding of the activities and commonalities that result in the use of deadly force and have the ability to dissect and identify contributing factors that lead to unnecessary and excessive force. Because of its expertise, city and county leaders repeatedly have engaged OIR Group to review deadly force incidents involving their law enforcement agencies (e.g. San Diego County; Portland, Oregon; Santa Maria, California; Burbank, California, Fullerton, California) and to offer recommendations for systemic reform. The recommendations range from improvements in tactical policy and training to improvements in the investigative and review processes. Unnecessary, Excessive or Retaliatory Use of Less Lethal Force Including Tasers, OC Spray and Fists. OIR Group also has recognized the need for police agencies to thoroughly and objectively investigate and review less lethal force incidents. As the monitor for Los Angeles County, OIR Group reviewed scores of force incidents involving the use of electronic control weapons, chemical agents, and personal weapons, identifying tactical issues and determining whether the force used was appropriate. In addition, OIR Group has reviewed numerous force incidents for other law enforcement agencies and made recommendations for changes in policy and training as well as the development of systems for review, accountability, and remedial actions. OIR Group also has developed measures designed to change agencies’ mindset and culture towards the use of force and helped devise policy and training intended to inculcate in officers principles and strategies of de-escalation and force prevention. Excessive Force Against Persons Who Are Mentally Ill. OIR Group has been intimately involved in reviewing numerous force incidents involving individuals who are in mental health crises, devising strategies, policies, training and tactics designed to provide officers a different framework and orientation toward interacting with such individuals. For example, after the in-custody death of a homeless mentally ill man in Fullerton, OIR Group conducted a systemic assessment of the way in which the Department responded to those in mental crisis and offered numerous recommendations for improving those responses. The OIR Group team also includes a mental health professional who has responded with police officers to individuals in ________________________________________________________________________ 1 OIR Group ! ! crisis and provided a smarter and more holistic response designed to lessen the perceived need to use force. Dangerous Tactics that Place Officers and Civilians at Unnecessary Risk. Poor tactical decisions that are inconsistent with principles of officer safety often lead to deadly force incidents. For years and in countless cases, OIR Group has worked to identify such tactics in officer-involved shooting incidents and worked with agencies to ensure that remedial action plans – including discipline, training, policy development, and supervisory issues – are devised to address them. OIR Group’s team also includes current and retired law enforcement executives who have similarly assessed tactical decision-making in the scope of their duties. Supervision’s Role in Force Events. As noted in the DOJ findings report, first level supervisors play a large role in how a Department deploys force. In some instances, first level supervisors are on scene prior to a force event and either deploy force themselves or direct force. On those occasions, OIR Group has recommended to police departments that allowing those same supervisors to investigate and review the force used is incompatible with best practices and principles of objectivity. We have also been involved in working with agencies to better define, through policy and practice, supervisors’ roles in responding to force events, and to push forward the notion that supervisors’ performance should be gauged in part by the number of concerning significant force events occurring under their supervision. Failure to Fully and Objectively Investigate and Review Officers’ Use of Force. For over a decade, OIR Group has monitored numerous force events to assess whether they are thoroughly and fairly investigated. As a result of these repeated analyses, OIR Group members can easily distinguish between robust investigations and those that are inadequate and/or biased. OIR has also reviewed numerous force review systems deployed by law enforcement agencies and has worked to transform those that are little more than “boxchecking” paper reviews into ones designed to effectively dissect each event with a critical eye and an orientation toward officer accountability, remedial action, meaningful feedback, and reform. Failure to Fully and Objectively Investigate All Allegations of Misconduct. OIR Group likewise has monitored and reviewed hundreds of misconduct investigations not involving uses of force. This work has included reviewing cases in real time, sending cases back for additional work when the investigations are incomplete, and training investigators on best investigative ________________________________________________________________________ 2 OIR Group ! ! practices, including scoping investigations appropriately. In addition, OIR Group has developed investigative quality control checklists designed to improve the internal review processes within law enforcement agencies. Failure to Hold Officers Accountable. OIR Group was created to ensure that investigations alleging misconduct within the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department were thorough and unbiased and that the investigative outcomes were evidence based. Uniquely, OIR Group members were able to offer independent recommendations on outcomes on discipline in scores of internal investigations. In that role, OIR Group attorneys frequently encountered the conscious and unconscious bias that can impact internal decision-makers’ objectivity and worked to find ways to insulate the decision from those influences. Identify and Respond to Patterns of At-Risk Behavior. OIR Group has worked with numerous agencies in assessing their early identification systems for potentially problematic officers and has offered recommendations designed to improve data collection and retrieval. More importantly, OIR Group has recommended more effective ways in which agencies can make use of the data collected so that once at-risk officers are identified, the agency can create a meaningful remedial plan. Inadequate Support, Training, Supervision and Equipment. OIR Group has worked with its monitored agencies to instill the principle that every force event should be reviewed through the prisms of training, supervision, and equipment, and that reviewers should assess whether the circumstances suggest the involved officers suffered from inadequate preparation, guidance, or support in any of these areas. OIR Group’s team includes retired law enforcement officers who have overseen training and reviewed force incidents to determine whether they suggested gaps in these areas. Policy Development and Enforcement. For over a decade, OIR Group has been involved in systemic improvements, including development and improvement of policies. OIR Group has been involved in reforming policies on use of force, internal investigative and review protocols for force and allegations of misconduct, shooting at vehicles, foot pursuits, vehicle pursuits, development of disciplinary matrices, and use of body-worn cameras. OIR Group continually researches, learns, and develops best practices in tactics and accountability and exports those policies to agencies it monitors and reviews. OIR has also been involved in auditing policies and procedures to determine the degree to which current policies are being enforced. ________________________________________________________________________ 3 OIR Group ! ! Search, Seizure, and Arrest Practices. OIR Group has a wealth of experience and expertise in reviewing Fourth Amendment issues both at the case and systemic level. Most recently, OIR Group is involved in reviewing the remediation of policies and training materials as a result of the judgment in New York Police Department’s stop and frisk case. This is only the latest illustration of the systemic reform that OIR Group has initiated or assisted in with regard to ensuring Constitutional-based interactions between the police and the public. OIR Group would welcome the opportunity to serve as the Consent Decree’s independent monitor. We feel confident that our experience leaves us well equipped to perform this role and we would appreciate the opportunity to work with the parties and the Court in achieving the objectives of the agreement. ________________________________________________________________________ 4 OIR Group ! !

III. Qualifications! The OIR Group team has a wide breadth of experience in each of the identified areas set out in the Request for Proposals. A table summarizing these qualifications and the resumes of all team members are attached as Appendix A. Monitoring, auditing, investigating, or otherwise reviewing performance of organizations, including experience in monitoring settlements, consent decrees, or court orders OIR Group has extensive experience monitoring and auditing performance of law enforcement. OIR Group is the recurrent monitor and auditor in reviewing police practices for a number of law enforcement agencies including the Portland Police Bureau and the Police Departments in Burbank, Anaheim, Fullerton, and Palo Alto, California. OIR Group has also conducted systems audits for numerous other police agencies and conducted internal investigations for law enforcement. OIR Group attorneys were appointed as court experts for the federal court in Madrid v. Gomez, and helped design an oversight entity for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation as well as chaired a major overhaul of CDCR’s use of force policy. We have also worked to implement a more robust use of force review process for the California Department of Juvenile Justice under the auspice of a Special Master assigned to oversee reform of force for that agency. Our work for the Court in Madrid involved convening regular meetings with the parties in order to comment and receive progress reports designed to assess reform and organizational change and compliance with the remedial measures set out in the Consent Decree. At times, OIR Group was asked to chair these meetings on behalf of the Special Master. Towards the end of the active monitoring of the case, OIR Group worked with the Special Master and assessed outcomes in order to formulate a recommendation to the Court whether the remedial plan had taken hold and active supervision of the case could cease. ________________________________________________________________________ 12 OIR Group ! ! Law enforcement practices including training, community and problemoriented policing, complaint and use of force investigations, and constitutional policing • OIR Group members have reviewed hours of law enforcement training with an eye towards assessing the training and devising recommendations for reform. OIR Group members have assisted law enforcement agencies on training designed to reorient officers to use “force prevention” techniques to avoid preventable uses of force. OIR Group members have also developed training intended to improve investigative skill sets for supervisors assigned to conduct force investigations. Dr. Gerritsen worked as a supervisor for a mobile mental health crisis team that created community-police partnerships to improve police response to calls involving individuals in mental health crisis. She currently works for the Portland Police Bureau’s Training Division in an innovative partnership to bring advanced Crisis Intervention Training to officers and improve the Bureau’s relationships with mental health advocacy groups and community members. Mr. Jurado worked in the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Training Bureau and has extensive experience training officers in the appropriate use of force and ethics-based policing. ! • OIR Group members have championed community and problem-oriented policing strategies and philosophies in their work recommending systemic and philosophical changes to the way in which police agencies perform their responsibilities. Chief Moers is leading his Department’s efforts to redeploy a community policing model to reflect the cultural demographics of the city by, in part, employing an aggressive recruitment plan focused on the need to increase diversity in its ranks. He has focused on expanding youth mentoring by creating an innovative program to help students understand the consequences and benefits of good decision-making. Mr. Payne is leading the effort to revitalize and restructure the Community Alternative Policing Program (CAPS) for the Chicago Police, a neighborhood-based initiative emphasizing the need for increased communication between the police and the community as the key to solving chronic neighborhood problems. ________________________________________________________________________ 13 OIR Group ! • ! OIR Group members have spent countless hours reviewing citizen complaints, investigations into officer misconduct allegations, and uses of force. As part of its regular oversight role with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and the Police Departments in other cities, OIR Group frequently received and responded to citizen complaints, reviewing the Departments’ own internal investigations and communicating with complainants regarding process and outcomes. OIR Group attorneys regularly evaluate misconduct and force investigations to address potential bias and enforce standards for thoroughness. Consistent with an overarching philosophy that every use of force needs to be thoroughly and objectively investigated and reviewed, OIR Group has helped agencies design more robust use of force investigative and force review protocols. OIR Group has also reviewed and extensively revised use of force policies for both small and large law enforcement agencies. Mr. Jurado served for years as Chair of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Executive Force Review Committee (EFRC), a progressive approach to reviewing force and ensuring accountability and systemic reform. The EFRC evaluated every deputy-involved shooting and other major force incident within the agency of roughly 9,000 sworn members. The role of the EFRC is to assess the thoroughness of each Internal Affairs investigation, to make a judgment about whether the force was within the bounds of the Constitution and the Department’s policy, and to determine whether the deputies’ performance was consistent with the Department’s training and expectations. LASD’s Executive Force Review Committee demonstrates a commitment to progressive, constitutional policing that has served as a model for other law enforcement agencies. Mr. McCabe extensively revised the use of force policies for the Denver Police Department, including developing a discipline matrix intended to ensure consistent accountability tied to the policy violation and performance history of the officer. Mr. Gennaco and Mr. Connolly led a multi-stakeholder initiative to completely revise the use of force policies for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Collectively, OIR Group attorneys have actively audited and monitored more than one thousand administrative force reviews. As part of this review process, they have rolled out to force, shooting, and critical incident scenes, maintained direct interaction with police internal ________________________________________________________________________ 14 OIR Group ! ! investigators, and reviewed police reports, interviews, coroner’s reports, and other documentation. OIR Group attorneys have regularly audited and evaluated internal investigations of such events and observed and participated in internal reviews of critical incidents. The group’s role in these reviews is to ensure thorough and objective investigations into critical incidents. For each major force incident, including officerinvolved shootings, the attorneys assess the quality of the investigation and provide feedback and recommendations to the agency regarding outcomes, discipline, or other corrective action. • OIR Group members have focused law enforcement on reviewing the search and seizure aspects of force incidents to ensure compliance with the Constitution and the agency’s policy. OIR Group members have also provided training to law enforcement on search and seizure principles. Mr. Gennaco is currently involved in reviewing NYPD’s policies and training materials to remedy defects identified by the Court in stop and frisk litigation. We also have a wealth of experience, frequently as a result of citizen complaints, reviewing stops and detentions to ensure compliance with constitutional principles and detecting shortcomings in training that may result in problematic stops and detentions. In its experience, OIR Group has been asked to audit and review potential discriminatory policing incidents and provided recommendations on ways to prevent such practices. Mr. Jurado also has dealt extensively with these issues in his various roles with the LASD. Evaluating the breadth and depth of organizational change, including the development of outcome measures As recurrent monitors and auditors for various law enforcement agencies, OIR Group has evaluated trends and improvement over the years both quantitatively and qualitatively. We will engage data analysts with expertise in developing and evaluating outcome measures. While many can count occurrences and crunch numbers, OIR Group’s experience and expertise leave it particularly well-situated to conduct qualitative analyses of performance, a more nuanced skill that requires special expertise drawn from years of experience and review. As chief executives for the Denver Public Safety and Henderson Police Department, respectively, Mr. LaCabe and Chief Moers have a wealth of experience as police managers. Mr. Payne serves as the Deputy Director to the Superintendent’s Office at the Chicago Police Department and previously ________________________________________________________________________ 15 OIR Group ! ! served as Deputy Chief of Staff for Public Safety for the City’s Mayor. All are seen as change agents with their respective agencies. When working toward systemic change within an agency, our goal is to ensure that the change is embraced and long lasting. To that end, we ensure that policy and systems reform include an implementation and training component. After the training has been completed, we review reports and other data to assess the degree to which reform has taken hold. OIR Group is also cognizant of the need for robust infrastructure within each law enforcement agency to ensure that any reform becomes embedded in the organization and is not simply cursory or transitory. OIR Group has recommended sufficient infrastructure, oversight, and supervision for the agencies it has reviewed to ensure that the policies impact the culture of the organizations in a meaningful way. Development of effective quality improvement practices OIR Group’s goal in all of its projects is to work with law enforcement to make the agency better through a process that assesses and evaluates police practices to improve its responsiveness and minimize its risk. The key to achieving this goal is to first understand the problems, reorient practices to address these issues, strengthen communication throughout the agency, and then to continuously look for opportunities to improve. Recently, Mr. Gennaco undertook a systemic review of the Westminster Police Department after it sustained a multi-million dollar verdict based on allegations of discrimination and retaliation. As part of that review, Mr. Gennaco reviewed supervisory shortcomings that were obstacles to accountability and offered numerous recommendations for reform. One effective reform that OIR Group members helped craft were checklists for supervisors designed to ensure thorough, efficient, and meaningful review of force incidents. OIR Group is continually working with law enforcement to revise and reform practices, policies, and procedures. In virtually every systemic review that OIR has conducted, our work has involved a review of current policies and recommendations to improve them. The same is true with regard to training – OIR’s standard reviews involve observing training, reviewing curricula and devising recommendations for reform. Through this experience, OIR Group has become skilled at advising and assisting agencies with quality improvement. We define the desired improvement, identify problems and ________________________________________________________________________ 16 OIR Group ! ! their root causes, recommend changes, offer guidance regarding implementation, and monitor and evaluate the improvements. Mediation and dispute resolution OIR Group has been a proponent of mediation and dispute resolution as an alternative mechanism for remediation of concerns by citizens about officer conduct. In many of its independent reviews for police agencies, it has recommended development of mediation programs in order to achieve resolution and allow the complainants’ concerns to be taken seriously while at the same time educating officers on the impact their activities have on the individuals they encounter. As Director of Safety, Mr. LaCabe helped develop a robust mediation program for resolution of complaints between residents and the Denver Police Department. Judge Kimbler frequently presided over settlement proceedings with parties appearing in his court, and is now providing mediation and arbitration services through the Ohio Mediation Association. Statistical and data analysis OIR Group attorneys have significant experience working with data and outcome measurements, but also appreciate the importance to the monitoring effort of having dedicated professionals to design statistical models and analyze data. Accordingly, we are working to identify and engage data analysts, and will have skilled professionals on our team if we are appointed to serve as monitor. Information technology OIR Group has examined and reviewed information systems in law enforcement that have compromised the ability of agencies to conduct meaningful analysis because of the unreliability of the data entered into the system. OIR Group has recommended improvements in the data management system and worked with Departments intended to improve those systems. With regard to video cameras and body worn cameras, OIR Group has worked on developing policies designed to provide clear guidance to officers on their use and deployment, considering best investigative practices, storage issues, and privacy concerns. We also appreciate the importance of IT professionals ________________________________________________________________________ 17 OIR Group ! ! to this project and will engage an IT technician if we receive the monitor appointment. Data management OIR Group attorneys are skilled at managing and navigating large databases. While working with Los Angeles County, OIR Group attorneys created a database to track, manage, and report on thousands of investigations and complaints they actively monitored. For this project, we recognize the significance of data management, and intend to engage data analysts and an IT technician to create databases and manage data input. Working with government agencies, municipalities, and collective bargaining units OIR Group has significant experience working with government agencies, municipalities, and collective bargaining units. The working relationship between OIR Group and the law enforcement agency it has reviewed has usually been defined by contract with the City, County, or other government entity. In its law enforcement agency reviews, OIR Group has interfaced closely with the City Manager, City Attorney, City Council and other governmental units in undertaking its review and reporting back its findings and recommendations. OIR Group has also reached out to collective bargaining units during its reviews in order to gain the perspective of associations formed to represent its members and has included that point of view in formulating recommendations for reform. As detailed elsewhere, OIR Group is the civilian oversight body for a number of police agencies and also works with police commissions or boards in its work as a police auditor. OIR has also regularly interfaced with community members interested in policing issues and reform, including those interested in devising oversight mechanisms for law enforcement agencies. In her role as Chief Administrator of Chicago’s Independent Police Review Authority, Ms. Rosenzweig served in a cabinet-level position appointed by Mayor Richard M. Daley and re-appointed by Mayor Rahm Emanuel. In her role as leader of 99-member department responsible for conducting internal administrative and criminal investigations of sworn and civilian members of the Chicago Police Department, she regularly engaged an extremely diverse group of stakeholders including community and religious organizations, law enforcement unions, politicians, and the legal community. ________________________________________________________________________ 18 OIR Group ! ! In addition, Former Director McCabe and Chief Moers have extensive issues with the challenges of running a law enforcement agency while considering budget constraints and fiscal issues of their cities as well as managing relationships with collective bargaining units. Language skills and experience working with limited English proficient persons and communities, in particular communities whose primary language is Spanish OIR Group’s Cynthia Hernandez is conversant in Spanish as well as Swahili and was previously a bilingual educator. She has extensive experience with diverse communities and communicating in languages other than English, notably during her appointment by the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda to defend Rwandan detainees who were charged with genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. Mr. Jurado also is conversant in Spanish. Familiarity and understanding of local issues and conditions OIR Group is working with Dr. David Miller at Case Western Reserve University, a scholar whose work in the public health and social work fields has focused on race and class and their intersection with urban life. He is also the elected Council President in the City of South Euclid, a diverse inner-ring suburb of Cleveland. He will serve as our team’s local coordinator for community engagement and input into the monitoring process. We also have met with Professor Lewis Katz at Case Western Reserve University Law School, who has agreed to serve as an expert on our monitoring team. As a Fourth Amendment scholar and expert on Search, Seizure and Arrest law, Professor Katz has been deeply engaged in issues involving the Cleveland Police and how they affect the community of Cleveland. OIR Group intends to use our relationship with these professors to build a partnership with Case Western Reserve University to deepen our connection to the Cleveland community and build systems for community engagement that will ensure the lasting effect of the CDP’s reform efforts. We already have spent some time in Cleveland, and met with a leader of the Collaborative for a Safe, Fair, and Just Cleveland to gain a better understanding of the issues and reforms most important to the diverse communities of Cleveland. We look forward to building on these relationships if we are selected as monitor for the CDP. ________________________________________________________________________ 19 OIR Group ! ! Effective engagement with diverse communities An integral part of OIR Group’s work is engaging with the communities served by the law enforcement entities OIR has monitored and evaluated. For example, while engaged with Los Angeles County, OIR Group members regularly attended community meetings in Compton to address issues relating to the Sheriff’s Department. In Portland, Mr. Gennaco and Ms. Ruhlin meet on an ongoing basis with community activists working to promote change within the Police Bureau. In Denver, Gennaco and Ruhlin have made several public presentations to both the Community Oversight Board and other town hall meetings regarding the status of their work and review of the Denver Sheriff Department. Mr. Payne led the Chicago Police Department’s efforts to revitalize its Community Alternative Policing program and frequently works with neighborhood groups and community leaders to promote participation and partnership. He is also co-facilitator for the National League of Cities Black Male Achievement Initiative and serves on the leadership team of Mayor Emanuel’s Commission for a Safer Chicago as well as the Department of Justice’s National Forum on Youth Violence. As set forth above, Ms. Rosenzweig frequently engaged with numerous and diverse stakeholders in the City of Chicago in her role as Chief Administrator of the Independent Police Review Authority. Creation and evaluation of meaningful civilian oversight OIR Group created an oversight mechanism when it began work with Las Angeles County in 2001. At the time, while the broad contours of a new oversight model had been envisioned, the attorneys of OIR Group designed and implemented the working protocols for the entity. OIR Group also helped create an oversight mechanism for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) and the Los Angeles County Probation Department. Most OIR Group attorneys have worked full time in the field of civilian oversight of law enforcement for a decade or more. Michael Gennaco, Ilana Rosenzweig, and Stephen Connolly began monitoring the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department in 2001. Julie Ruhlin began working at the Police Assessment Resource Center in 2004 and has made the civilian oversight of law enforcement her career since then. Cynthia Hernandez has been working in civilian oversight since 2008. The group’s commitment to oversight is evident in the work it has done in designing and assisting new oversight ________________________________________________________________________ 20 OIR Group ! ! entities for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, the Los Angeles County Probation Department, and most recently, the Anaheim Police Department. Familiarity with federal, Ohio, and local laws, including civil rights laws and policies and rules governing police practices Our monitoring team includes a law professor who is an expert on Ohio criminal law and procedure. Professor Katz has taught at Case Western Reserve University School of Law for 49 years. He is widely published, and most recently wrote an article for the Seattle Law Review on race and the Fourth Amendment implications of traffic stops. He also is a co-author of Ohio Arrest, Search and Seizure, frequently cited by judges, prosecutors, criminal defense attorneys, and police officers. Judge Kimbler recently retired from the Medina County Common Pleas Court and also is an expert on Ohio and local laws, with significant experience in criminal procedure. During his tenure as a judge, he empanelled nearly 600 juries – approximately 180 of those in felony criminal cases – and published 64 opinions. Our team also includes numerous attorneys – two of whom (Michael Gennaco and Alex Busansky) are former federal criminal civil rights prosecutors – with expertise in federal civil rights laws and police practices cases. Completing projects within anticipated deadlines and budget The references identified below can all speak to OIR Group’s ability and track record for completing projects on time and within budget. Preparing for and participating in court proceedings OIR Group has prepared for and participated in court and administrative proceedings. First, as noted elsewhere, OIR Group attorneys are former prosecutors and trial attorneys and through that experience have prepared for numerous court proceedings. Moreover, OIR Group assisted the Special Master in Madrid in preparing for hearings and participated in numerous chambers meetings presided over by United States District Court Judge Henderson. Mr. Gennaco has testified as an expert regarding accountability standards in policing and internal investigative standards and has been designated as an expert in ethical-based accountability and as an internal use of force investigator. ________________________________________________________________________ 21 OIR Group ! ! Judge Kimbler served for 18 years as a Common Pleas Court Judge in Medina County, Ohio, presiding over 150 civil and 181 criminal trials. Report writing for a broad variety of stakeholders Public confidence and transparency are important components of improved policing. To that end, OIR Group views issuing reports as a vital part of the work we do, and have worked to ensure that our public reporting is clear, straightforward, thorough, and accessible to the numerous different individuals and entities involved in reform efforts – government leaders, police officers and executives, community stakeholder groups, and citizens. All of our public reports are available on our website – oirgroup.com/. ________________________________________________________________________ 22 OIR Group ! ! IV. Prior Experience and References Michael Gennaco and other OIR Group attorneys worked for 13 years monitoring force and misconduct investigations for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, and have performed numerous audits, investigations, and assessments of other law enforcement agencies throughout California and in other states. Its public reports are accessible on its website – oirgroup.com/. Office of Independent Review: Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. In its years monitoring the Sheriff and Probation Departments in Los Angeles County and the Sheriff’s Department in Orange County, OIR Group produced numerous public reports.

Cate, the federal litigation that began with use of force issues in Pelican Bay State Prison and resulted in a state-wide remedial plan designed to correct problems within the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), in particular issues regarding uses of force and deficient investigations of those force incidents. OIR Group consulted with the federal court judge, the Special Master, the parties, and other stake holders in the creation of an entity that monitors and provides quality control for internal CDCR investigations. The State of California’s Bureau of Independent Review (BIR) continues to ensure quality and objective internal investigations into correctional officer misconduct. Additionally, OIR Group worked with the parties to reform CDCR’s use of force policy and regularly made presentations to CDCR academy cadets on Code of Silence issues. In ________________________________________________________________________ 23 OIR Group ! ! 2007, OIR Group conducted an audit of the BIR in order to inform the federal court about the efficacy and challenges of the new oversight entity. As a result of the success of the remedial plan, and with the support of all of the parties, Judge Henderson dismissed the Madrid case, finding that the unconstitutional force issues that gave rise to the lawsuit had been remedied.

San Diego County Use of Force Audit and Evaluation – Following a series of deputy-involved shootings that generated a great deal of public concern and distrust in one city within the county, OIR Group was selected pursuant to an RFP process to conduct an in depth evaluation of a three-year period of deputy-involved shootings and force incidents in the jail and in the field. OIR Group focused on all shootings within the period, evaluating both the criminal and the administrative investigations. We also audited a broad sample of major and minor uses of force within the period both in the patrol and jail settings. In addition to the documentary review, we conducted extensive interviews with investigators, field training personnel and Department executives. Throughout this project, OIR Group attorneys met with Department Command Staff to apprise them of our early findings and receive feedback on our preliminary recommendations. The project culminated in a 175-page report featuring conclusions and recommendations addressing a broad range of issues including field tactics and equipment, jail operations and custody incidents, policies in need of revision or clarification, internal investigative protocols, misconduct and accountability, and recommending a detailed redesign of the Department’s force review protocols. The Department decided to make this report available to the public and invited OIR Group back one year later to do a formal audit of the implementation of the 35 recommendations in the report.

V. Proposed Activities The objectives of the Consent Decree are consistent with our own emphasis on progressive policing, as manifested in our work with a variety of different agencies. As for the various monitoring responsibilities, OIR Group recognizes that many of these – such as the tracking of time limits and ensuring that required investigative tasks are documented – are relatively straightforward, and is prepared to perform those tasks consistent with accepted auditing standards. However, OIR Group also believes it can bring a valuable qualitative component to the auditing responsibilities that the agreement contains. For example, we would design a monitoring component that would assess the quality of the training on identified issues of concern, and likewise would evaluate investigations for thoroughness and effectiveness. These qualitative assessments require skill sets and experience that OIR Group uniquely possesses. Regarding methods of obtaining information, we believe an effective monitor should seek other sources of information beyond the written data that is available in police reports. As we have done with other projects, we will look to other sources to learn the degree to which reform is taking hold. These other metrics include regular interactions with the diverse communities of Cleveland, interviews and other interactions with the rank and file and executive staff of the CDP, regular observations of key operational activities, surveys of the Cleveland community about their views of the performance of CDP, and interviews of other relevant stakeholders. In addition, OIR Group believes it can enhance the auditing process through its ability to go “beyond the documents” by ensuring that the monitoring plan calls for interaction with trainers, students, investigators and reviewers. These interactions can ensure that the goals of the settlement agreement are actually being realized through adherence to the individual component parts. This type of analysis requires a qualitative assessment not based on a checklist of tasks but a more holistic analytical framework that more fully captures the essence of police/citizen dynamics and interactions. As noted above, in order for its communities to have a better understanding of what the monitor learns, it is critical that the written reports present a narrative that goes beyond facts and figures. We have recognized this important component of effective transparency since our inception, and pride ourselves on the substance and readability of our reports. In our view, it would also be important even before the first reporting period to explain the ________________________________________________________________________ 33 OIR Group ! ! monitor’s role to interested community groups so that all stakeholders have a better understanding of the process. Moreover, while the primary reports will be filed with the court, OIR Group intends to take advantage of other social media outlets such as a monitor website, Facebook, and Twitter as important ways of communicating with the public about CDP’s progress towards compliance. At the outset of the monitoring period, it is critical that the reform envisioned by the Consent Decree start on a certain path. For that reason, the monitor will have a regular presence in Cleveland during the critical period in which the parties gain a common understanding of the metrics to be used in assessing progress and reform. Especially during that time, we envision that the road map toward implementation be formulated with regular participation and concurrence of the parties. In the early days of monitoring, we would also work closely with the CDP and City to ensure a common understanding regarding how the monitor would coordinate visits, on-site records reviews, and interviews. In order for the monitor to fulfill the responsibilities of the Consent Decree, it is imperative that the monitoring team has unfettered access to documents and people in a way that ensures effective and timely monitoring yet provides the least disruption to the other necessary functions of the CDP. The monitor and/or two deputy monitors would be in Cleveland at least four days each month. The data analysts and experts will be on-site as necessary, but we anticipate that several of these team members will spend significant blocks of time working in Cleveland at least once each quarter. In addition, we anticipate building a partnership with Case Western Reserve University – led by Dr. David Miller – to create an active, continual and meaningful presence in the Cleveland community. We also will have an office manager/community liaison on-site to coordinate meetings and liaison with community members, CDP personnel, and other stakeholders. Finally, we are pleased that the Consent Decree is conceptualized as being dynamic in nature, so that the monitor can make recommendations along the way that might assist the Cleveland Division of Police in better meeting the shared goals of constitutionally-based policing. ________________________________________________________________________ 34 OIR Group ! !

We anticipate that certain tasks will be concentrated in the first year, such as development of the Monitoring Plan and Monitor database, evaluation of CDP’s data collection and analysis, development of the Biennial Community Survey, and the establishment of effective liaisons and procedures for communicating with the parties and the community. Accordingly, we estimate that the second-year project costs (including the comprehensive reassessment) will be ower than the first year and the third, fourth and fifth year costs will be another ower. Thus, the budget for years three through five would be approximately below the first year costs. Cost Cap – An estimated cost cap, above which fees and costs shall not be billed, is as follows: for Year One for Year Two for Year Three for Year Four for Year Five Five Year cumulative cap would be ________________________________________________________________________ 38 OIR Group ! ! Hourly Rates – The hourly rates above include which is a blended weighted average of the rates of all attorneys on the monitoring team, including the Monitor. The blended rate for all experts is Attorneys – The Monitor will also act as the team leader for all attorneys on the Monitoring project. In addition, five attorneys from OIR Group will staff this project as needed during any particular period and will take primary responsibility for monitoring progress toward compliance with the provisions of the Agreement. One of the team attorneys will also act as Project Manager, responsible for task management and personnel coordination within the Monitoring team. Experts – The law enforcement and training experts on the team will be utilized in a variety of capacities to assist, among other things, to: ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ Evaluate the tactical aspects of Department policies and procedures Assist with review of specific significant force incidents Evaluate the quality and sufficiency of training Review the use of force and weapons policies Review Critical Incident Training and other policies and practices relating to individuals in crisis Evaluate and assist CDP in quantifying the current status of the discriminatory policing problems identified in the Agreement; evaluate the Department’s current bias-fee policing efforts and recommend training and procedures to address any deficiencies in this area Provide training and technical assistance directly to the CDP staff if requested. Office Manager/Community Liaison Group – The office manager/community liaison group will be located in Cleveland and will coordinate meetings, arrange travel, liaison with the community and Department personnel, track intake and case status, and assist with the compilation and production of the Monitor report. Technical Assistance – The costs for providing technical assistance to CDP are estimates dependent on the requests that are received from the Department during the course of the monitoring period. Travel – Team members will bill for travel expenses, but not travel time unless working on monitoring matters while en route. ________________________________________________________________________ 39 OIR Group ! ! On-site and Off-site work –Some of the work on this project can be done offsite – report writing, document review, and policy analysis and review, for example. To control costs, out of town team members will strive to do as much of the analytical work as possible off-site, while also understanding that spending time in Cleveland – establishing community relationships and being available to hear and respond to community concerns within the rubric of responsibilities of the monitor set out in the Consent Decree, keeping the community informed about the monitoring team’s observations and the CDP’s progress, making direct observations, attending critical meetings, communicating with the parties, City and CDP members– is vital to the Monitor’s success in moving the CDP to compliance with the Decree. The Monitor and/or Deputy Monitors will be in Cleveland at least four days each month and the local members of the monitoring team will ensure a continual presence in Cleveland. The data analysts and experts will be on-site as necessary, but we anticipate that several of these team members will be working in Cleveland at least once each quarter. Office Space – The budget proposal assumes that the City will provide some administrative support, including office space and supplies, as stipulated by the Agreement. The miscellaneous and office supplies costs are expected to be minimal. Most of those anticipated costs are related to outreach to the community, public presentations, response to public inquiries, and equipment and space rental and printing costs related to the same. Computer Support – We will hire a computer support technician during the first year to customize and implement a task-tracking database for the internal use of the Monitoring team. Most of the technician’s time will be committed to getting the database up and running, with periodic visits thereafter to train the team members and any necessary maintenance and adjustments. While some of the requirements set out in the Agreement are readily identifiable and we can make good predictions about the resources needed to ensure compliance with the Agreement, others are much more variable and dependent on facts not yet necessarily known to the parties, the Court, and any future monitor. OIR Group recognizes, however, that it is critical to devise a budget in the initial planning stages so that the City can reserve and allocate necessary resources to ensure completion of the tasks required by the Agreement. ________________________________________________________________________ 40 OIR Group Appendix A ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Moers Chief of Police Henderson Police Department Contact: Office Telephone: (702) 267?4501 Office Fax: (702) 267?5001 E?Mail: PatrickMoers cityofhendersoncom Professional Biography: Chief Patrick E. Moers leads the police department of the second largest city in Nevada (pop. 280,000) with 579 employees 336 police officers, 83 corrections officers, and more than 160 full?time civilian employees. Background: Chief Patrick Moers is originally from Chicago, Illinois. He began his career with the Henderson Police Department as a patrol officer in September 1991. In July 2012, he was ratified by the Henderson City Council as the 12th chief of police since the city?s incorporation in 1953. In his 20?plus years in the department, he has held leadership positions in Patrol, Investigations, Traffic, Internal Affairs and the Office of Professional Standards. Philosophy: Chief Moers spent the first two years of his tenure in a rebuilding phase filling supervisory posts in the department as a large out ?ux of longtime leaders and officers took early retirements as a result of the Great Recession. Through this phase of less officers than in years past, his focus on greater efficiencies and use of technology coupled with the hard work and dedication of the men and women of the department has allowed the department to achieve and maintain crime rates (FBI reported statistics) that have designated Henderson as one of the ?safest cities in America? for three years in a row (2012 Forbes, 2013 Law Street, 2014 Movoto). As revenues have stabilized, the department has begun to rehire under an aggressive recruitment plan that focuses on the need to increase diversity in police ranks. This will allow a redeployment of the traditional ?community?policing? model that ensures greater service levels for residents and one that re?ects cultural demographics as the city?s ethnic makeup continues to change. He has focused on expanding youth mentoring by creating an innovative program to help Henderson students understand the consequences and benefits of good decision?making through the D.R.E.A.M.S. program (Decisions Responsibilities Education Achievements Motivation Self?Esteem) since the use of the DARE program has waned across the country and Clark County has eliminated it altogether. 1223 Lead Street 1 PO. Box 95050 Henderson, NV 89009-5050 (V02) 26?-5000 Furthering an effort to connect with all parts of the city, he employed an expanded outreach program becoming a member of chambers of commerce and other community organizations to begin building stronger officer?and-citizen relationships. By relating low crime rates as a component of a vibrant business climate, he has helped further the argument that Henderson is the best place in the valley to establish a business and attract employees. He instituted an educational prerequisite for leadership positions requiring officers to obtain formal college credits in order to advance into supervisory roles, which is in response to public demands for a more educated police force with higher levels of thoughtful decision-making on the ground. He revamped the mission of SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) and its focus, de? emphasizing a ?militaristic? mentality and appearance and also shifting portion of the unit to part?time. This allows SWAT?trained officers to get back into supporting under?staffed patrol units the backbone of city policing. Greater emphasis has been placed on officer Use of Force training and shifting to a philosophy that emphasizes de-escalation and better officer communication skills with members of the public. Chief Moers has pushed the department toward greater transparency by creating a Police Action Review Committee (PARC) that allows Citizen Academy graduates the ability to review in?car videos and other questionable actions taken by officers to help police leadership improve the department. Professionalism will also be in the forefront as evidenced by the department achieving the CALEA Gold Standard Assessment in 2014 (Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies). The department is the first agency in Nevada to receive such distinction. And despite a still constrained budget, Chief Moers? tenure will focus on maintaining Henderson in the top 10 safest cities in America. Education and Leadership: Chief Moers holds a BA in Public Administration in Law Enforcement. He is a graduate of the FBI National Academy, Session 234 and the Northwestern University?s School of Police Staff and Command College, Session 105. In 2015, Chief Moers advanced into the position of Vice President for the Nevada Sheriff and Chiefs Association (NVSCA). He will also serve as the SACOP (State Agencies Chief of Police) representative for the entire State of Nevada through 2015. In this capacity, he will represent the opinions of Nevada law enforcement to the International Association of Chief of Police (IACP) on national issues. Also starting in 2015, Chief Moers will serve as Vice Chair of the HIDTA (High Intensity Drug Trafficking Act) Executive Board, which oversees all Nevada?Federal drug task force initiative. 223 Lead Street i 9.0.
