Crisis Intervention-Related Call Intake and Dispatch OEMC call-takers will continue to identify calls for service involving an individual known, suspected, or perceived to be in crisis. 139. OEMC will continue to code all incidents identified as potentially involving an individual in crisis in a manner that allows for subsequent data analysis necessary for the evaluation of CPD and OEMC responses to individuals in crisis and the development of the plans required by this section of the Agreement. 140. OEMC police communication dispatchers will continue to prioritize Certified CIT Officers for dispatch to incidents that involve an individual known, suspected, or perceived to be in crisis. If a Certified CIT Officer is not available to timely respond, OEMC will continue to dispatch an available officer to avoid compromising response time. OEMC dispatchers will dispatch a Certified CIT Officer, when available, if the responding officer requests assistance from a Certified CIT Officer. 45 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 58 of 250 PageID #:4800 141. CPD will provide OEMC with an updated list of current and active Certified CIT Officers and their assignment at least every week. At the beginning of each watch, CPD will continue to identify for OEMC the Certified CIT Officers on duty for each watch and in each district so that OEMC dispatchers know which Certified CIT Officers to prioritize for dispatch to incidents involving an individual known, suspected, or perceived to be in crisis. 142. Within 90 days of the Effective Date, OEMC will ensure that all current active communicators complete their training and begin answering calls independently. 143. The OEMC Training will be at least an eight-hour course taught jointly by qualified OEMC staff and a mental health clinician or advocate. 144. The OEMC Training will cover, at a minimum, the following topics: identification of individuals in crisis; telephonic suicide prevention strategies; crisis and stress management, de-escalation, and scenario-based exercises; interactions with individuals with mental illness; information that should be gathered and shared with the responding officer or Certified CIT Officer when the call-taker suspects that the call involves an individual in crisis; the types of calls that may require the dispatching of a Certified CIT Officer or a coordinated crisis response of first responders reflective of established policy for intake and dispatch; and the procedures for dispatching a Certified CIT Officer. 145. Any training on mental health and CIT awareness that has already been provided to tele-communicators may fulfill the OEMC Training requirement of this Agreement, if the previously provided training satisfies the criteria for the OEMC Training described in this Agreement. 46 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 59 of 250 PageID #:4801 146. All tele-communicators will receive at least annual refresher training on mental health and CIT awareness that is adequate to refresh the tele identifying, dispatching, and appropriately responding to calls for service that involve individuals in crisis. 147. OEMC will evaluate all mental health and CIT awareness trainings for telecommunicators on at least an annual basis to ensure that the trainings meet OEMC needs, comply with this Agreement, incorporate best practices, and ensure that the training is effective for personnel and for the individuals in crisis served. OEMC will consider recommendations and feedback from the CIT Coordinator and the Advisory Committee when conducting its evaluation. 148. OEMC will develop and implement its portion of the Crisis Intervention Plan. 149. OEMC supervisors, on an ongoing basis, will audit and provide feedback to calltakers and dispatchers regarding their ability to identify, dispatch, and respond appropriately to calls for service involving individuals in crisis. 150. The Parties acknowledge that OEMC currently meets regularly with CPD and the City-wide Mental Health Steering Committee. OEMC will continue to meet regularly with CPD, in addition to appropriate members of the Advisory Committee, including service providers and advocates, to review and assess data and information regarding the identification of, the dispatch of, and response to calls for service involving individuals in crisis by OEMC telecommunicators. 151. Within 180 days of the Effective Date, and annually thereafter, OEMC will review and revise its intake and dispatch policies and protocols as necessary to meet the requirements of this Agreement. OEMC will consider any recommendations or feedback provided by the Advisory Committee when revising its policies. 47 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 60 of 250 PageID #:4802 152. OEMC will ensure that the language used in policies, procedures, forms, databases, trainings, and by tele-communicators to communicate about calls involving individuals in crisis is appropriate, respectful, and consistent with industry-recognized terminology.

USE OF FORCE 153. systems, must ensure that: CPD officers use force in accordance with federal law, state law, and the requirements of this Agreement; CPD officers apply de-escalation techniques to prevent or reduce the need for force whenever safe and feasible; when using force, CPD officers only use force that is objectively reasonable, necessary, and proportional under the totality of the circumstances; and any use of unreasonable or unnecessary force is promptly identified and responded to appropriately. best practices reflected in the October 2017 Policies and make additional improvements to its policies consistent with the terms of this Agreement. A. Objectives 155. CPD officers have the authority to use force, but that authority is limited by the law and Department policy. The provisions of this Agreement seek to facilitate compliance with the law and Department policy regarding the use of force to reduce the circumstances in which 48 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 61 of 250 PageID #:4803 using force is necessary, and to ensure accountability when CPD officers use force that is not objectively reasonable, necessary, and proportional under the totality of the circumstances. 156. will be designed, implemented, and maintained so that CPD members: a. act at all times in a manner consistent with the sanctity of human life; b. act at all times with a high degree of ethics, professionalism, and respect for the public; c. use de-escalation techniques to prevent or reduce the need for force whenever safe and feasible; d. use sound tactics to eliminate the need to use force or reduce the amount of force that is needed; e. only use force that is objectively reasonable, necessary, and proportional under the totality of the circumstances; f. only use force for a lawful purpose and not to punish or retaliate; g. continually assess the situation and modify the use of force as circumstances change and in ways that are consistent with officer safety, including stopping the use of force when it is no longer necessary; h. truthfully and completely report all reportable instances of force used; i. promptly report any use of force that is excessive or otherwise in violation of policy; j. are held accountable, consistent with complaint and disciplinary policies, for use of force that is not objectively reasonable, necessary, and proportional 49 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 62 of 250 PageID #:4804 under the totality of the circumstances, or that otherwise violates law or policy; and k. act in a manner that promotes trust between CPD and the communities it serves. 157. CPD will collect and analyze information on the use of force by CPD members, including whether and to what extent CPD members use de-escalation techniques in connection with use of force incidents. CPD will use this information to assess whether its policies, training, tactics, and practices meet the goals of this Agreement, reflect best practices, and prevent or reduce the need to use force. B. Use of Force Policies 158. reflect the objectives described above, and promote trust between CPD and the communities that it serves. 160. CPD will conduct an annual review of its use of force policies consistent with accreditation requirements of the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies Agreement, incorporate best practices, address observed trends and practices, as necessary, and reflect developments in applicable law. 161. CPD will establish and maintain clear channels through which community additions to those policies. CPD will regularly review the input received, including during the biennial review process. 50 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 63 of 250 PageID #:4805 1. 162. General Policy Requirements CPD recently adopted de-escalation as a core principle. CPD officers must use deescalation techniques to prevent or reduce the need for force whenever safe and feasible. CPD officers are required to de-escalate potential and ongoing use of force incidents whenever safe and feasible through the use of techniques that may include, but are not limited to, the following: a. using time as a tactic by slowing down the pace of an incident; b. employing tactical positioning and re-positioning to isolate and contain a subject, to create distance between an officer and a potential threat, or to utilize barriers or cover; c. continual communication, including exercising persuasion and advice, and providing a warning prior to the use of force; d. requesting assistance from other officers, mental health personnel, or specialized units, as necessary and appropriate; and e. where appropriate, use trauma-informed communication techniques, including acknowledging confusion or mistrust, or using a respectful tone. 163. nt to preventing and reducing the need for force, CPD officers will allow individuals to voluntarily comply with lawful orders whenever safe and feasible (e.g., allowing individuals the opportunity to submit to arrest before force is used). 164. CPD officers may only use force for a lawful purpose. CPD officers are prohibited from using force as punishment or retaliation, such as using force to punish or retaliate against a person for fleeing, resisting arrest, insulting an officer, or engaging in protected First Amendment activity (e.g., lawful demonstrations, protected speech, observing or 51 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 64 of 250 PageID #:4806 165. CPD officers must only use force when it is objectively reasonable, necessary, and proportional under the totality of the circumstances. 166. CPD officers are prohibited from using deadly force except in circumstances where there is an imminent threat of death or great bodily harm to an officer or another person. CPD officers are not permitted to use deadly force against a person who is a threat only to himself or herself or to property. CPD officers may only use deadly force as a last resort. 167. CPD officers are prohibited from using deadly force against fleeing subjects who do not pose an imminent threat of death or great bodily harm to an officer or another person. 167. CPD officers will operate their vehicles in a manner that is consistent with CPD policy and training and with the foremost regard for the safety of all persons involved. CPD will periodically include instruction regarding sound vehicle maneuvers in its in-service training regarding use of force. As appropriate, CPD will provide supplemental training guidance regarding dangerous vehicle maneuvers that should be avoided. 168. Starting no later than January 1, 2019, CPD will track and analyze the frequency with which CPD officers engage in foot pursuits of persons attempting to evade arrest or detention by fleeing on foot, regardless of whether the foot pursuit is associated with a reportable use of force incident. CPD will track foot pursuits associated with reportable use of force incidents through TRRs or any similar form of documentation CPD may implement. 169. For foot pursuits associated with reportable use of force incidents, by January 1, 2020, CPD will review all associated foot pursuits at the headquarters level to identify any tactical, equipment, or training concerns. 52 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 65 of 250 PageID #:4807 170. CPD recently issued a foot pursuit training bulletin. By July 1, 2019, CPD will develop and issue a supplemental foot pursuit training bulletin that reflects best practices from foot pursuit policies in other jurisdictions. The supplemental training bulletin will be subject to review and approval by the Monitor and OAG. The supplemental training bulletin will: a. identify risks and tactical factors officers should consider prior to initiating and during the course of a foot pursuit; b. provide guidance to officers regarding radio communications during a foot pursuit; c. instruct officers to avoid, to the extent practical, separating from other officers in the course of a foot pursuit; d. provide guidance on circumstances when alternatives to a foot pursuit may be appropriate; and e. inform officers that they must follow a foot pursuit, including instructions to alter tactics or discontinue the pursuit. 171. CPD will provide scenario-based training regarding foot pursuits and the supplemental foot pursuit training bulletin during the first annual use of force training required by this Agreement. 172. By no later than January 1, 2021, the Monitor will complete an assessment of CPD data and information to determine whether CPD should adopt a foot pursuit policy. If the Monitor recommends that CPD should adopt a foot pursuit policy, CPD will adopt a foot pursuit policy no later than July 1, 2021. Any foot pursuit policy adopted by CPD will be subject to review and approval by the Monitor and OAG. 53 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 66 of 250 PageID #:4808 173. Following a use of force, once the scene is safe and as soon as practicable, CPD officers must immediately request appropriate medical aid for injured persons or persons who claim they are injured. 174. Before January 1, 2021, CPD will ensure that all CPD officers receive Law Enforcement Medic CPD officers will incorporate scenario-based elements. Before January 1, 2021, CPD will equip all CPD officers engaged in patrol activities who have completed LEMART training with an individual first aid kit 175. -02-23). Starting January 1, 2021, in use of force incidents involving CPD officers, CPD will require CPD officers to provide life-saving aid consistent with their LEMART training to injured persons as soon as it is safe and feasible to do so until medical professionals arrive on scene. CPD will replenish IFAKs, and the contents thereof, used by CPD officers as necessary to ensure officers have the equipment necessary to render aid consistent with their LEMART training. Subsequent to January 1, 2021, CPD will ensure that any officer regularly engaged in patrol activities who has no prior LEMART training receives LEMART training within one year of beginning his or her regular patrol activities. 176. CPD officers must recognize and act upon the duty to intervene on the behalf when another officer is using excessive force. 177. Consistent with CPD policy that force must be objectively reasonable, necessary, and proportional, CPD officers must generally not use force against a person who is handcuffed or otherwise r immediately stopped to prevent injury or escape or when compelled by other law enforcement objectives. 54 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 67 of 250 PageID #:4809 178. CPD officers are prohibited from using carotid artery restraints or chokeholds (or other maneuvers for applying direct pressure on a windpipe or airway, i.e., the front of the neck, with the intention of reducing the intake of air) unless deadly force is authorized. CPD officers must not use chokeholds or other maneuvers for intentio airway or carotid artery restraints as take-down techniques. 2. Policies Regarding Specific Weapons must clearly define and describe each force option and the circumstances under which use of such force is appropriate to address potential types of resistance. 180. CPD will maintain policies for each of the following weapons, using the following guidelines. a. 181. Firearms CPD will continue to require that only officers who are currently certified may be issued, carry, and use firearms. 182. CPD will require officers to consider their surroundings before discharging their firearms and take reasonable precautions to ensure that people other than the target will not be struck. 183. CPD will require officers to issue a verbal warning prior to the use of any reportable force, including the use of firearms, when it is safe and feasible to do so. 184. When CPD officers discharge firearms, they must continually assess the circumstances that necessitated the discharge and modify their use of force accordingly, 55 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 68 of 250 PageID #:4810 including ceasing to use their firearm when the circumstances no longer require it (e.g., when a subject is no longer a threat). 185. CPD will continue to prohibit officers from firing warning shots. 186. CPD officers must not fire at moving vehicles when the vehicle is the only force used against the officer or another person, except in extreme circumstances when it is a last resort to preserve human life or prevent great bodily harm to a person, such as when a vehicle is intentionally being used to attack a person or group of people. CPD will continue to instruct officers to avoid positioning themselves or remaining in the path of a moving vehicle, and will provide officers with adequate training to ensure compliance with this instruction. 187. CPD will prohibit officers from firing from a moving vehicle unless such force is necessary to protect against an imminent threat to life or to prevent great bodily harm to the officer or another person. 188. By January 1, 2019, CPD will develop a training bulletin that provides guidance on weapons discipline, including circumstances in which officers should and should not point a firearm at a person. CPD will incorporate training regarding pointing of a firearm in the annual use of force training required by this Agreement in 2019. 189. CPD will clarify in policy that when a CPD officer points a firearm at a person to detain the person, an investigatory stop or an arrest has occurred, which must be documented. CPD will also clarify in policy that officers will only point a firearm at a person when objectively reasonable under the totality of the circumstances. 190. Beginning July 1, 2019, CPD officers will, at a minimum, promptly after the incident is concluded, notify OEMC of investigatory stop or arrest occurrences in which a CPD officer points a firearm at a person in the course of effecting the seizure. The notification will 56 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 69 of 250 PageID #:4811 identify which CPD beat(s) pointed a firearm at a person in the course of effecting the seizure. The City will ensure that OEMC data recording each such notification is electronically linked with CPD reports and body-worn camera recordings associated with the incident, and all are retained and readily accessible to the supervisor of each CPD beat(s) identified in the notification. 191. OEMC will notify an immediate supervisor of the identified beat(s) each time the pointing of a firearm is reported. Notified CPD supervisors will ensure that the investigatory stop or arrest documentation and the OEMC recordation of the pointing of a firearm are promptly reviewed in accordance with CPD policy. CPD supervisors will effectively supervise the CPD members under their command consistent with their obligations set forth in the Supervision section of this Agreement. 192. A designated unit at the CPD headquarters level will routinely review and audit documentation and information collected from all investigatory stop and arrest occurrences in which a CPD officer pointed a firearm at a person in the course of effecting a seizure. The review and audit will be completed within 30 days of each such occurrence. This review and audit will: a. identify whether the pointing of the firearm at a person allegedly violated CPD policy; b. identify any patterns in such occurrences and, to the extent necessary, ensure that any concerns are addressed; and c. identify any tactical, equipment, training, or policy concerns and, to the extent necessary, ensure that the concerns are addressed. 57 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 70 of 250 PageID #:4812 The designated unit at the CPD headquarters level will, where applicable, make appropriate referrals for misconduct investigations or other corrective actions for alleged violations of CPD policy. At the completion of each review and audit, the designated unit at the CPD headquarters level will issue a written notification of its findings and, if applicable, any other appropriate actions taken or required to an immediate supervisor as described above. 193. CPD will ensure that the designated unit at the CPD headquarters level responsible for performing the duties required by this Part has sufficient resources to perform them, including staff with sufficient experience, rank, knowledge, and expertise. 194. CPD officers will not be required to notify OEMC of the pointing of a firearm at a person when the CPD officer is a SWAT Team Officer responding to a designated SWAT incident, as defined in CPD Special Order S05-05, or an officer assigned to a federal task force during the execution of federal task force duties. 195. CPD officers will not be required to notify OEMC of any unholstering or display unless the firearm is pointed at a person. 196. The City will ensure that all documentation and recordation of investigatory stop or arrest occurrences in which a CPD member points a firearm at a person, including OEMC data, is maintained in a manner that allows the Monitor, CPD, and OAG to review and analyze such occurrences. Beginning January 1, 2020, the Monitor will analyze these occurrences on an annual basis to assess whether changes to CPD policy, training, practice, or supervision are necessary, and to recommend any changes to the process of documenting, reviewing, and 58 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 71 of 250 PageID #:4813 should be implemented will be resolved by the Court. b. 197. CPD will continue to require that only officers who are currently certified may be issued, carry, and use Tasers. 198. CPD will instruct officers that Tasers can cause serious injury or death and, as a result, officers should use Tasers only after balancing relevant factors including the threat presented by the subject, the risk of injury if a Taser is used, and the seriousness of the suspected offense. Consistent with this standard, CPD officers should not use Tasers against persons who are reasonably perceived to be non-violent, unarmed, and suspected of low-level offenses, such as property-related misdemeanors, quality of life offenses, moving or traffic violations, or municipal code violations. 199. CPD will clarify in policy that flight alone, without any other basis for reasonable articulable suspicion or probable cause, does not justify use of a Taser against a subject. 200. When safe and feasible to do so, CPD officers must give verbal commands and warnings prior to, during, and after deployment of a Taser. When safe and feasible to do so, CPD officers will allow a subject a reasonable amount of time to comply with a warning prior to using or continuing to use a Taser, unless doing so would compromise the safety of an officer or another person. 201. CPD will strongly discourage the use of Tasers in schools and on students. CPD age, size, and the threat presented, in assessing the reasonableness and necessity of using a Taser in a school. 59 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 72 of 250 PageID #:4814 202. CPD officers will treat each application or standard cycle (five seconds) of a Taser as a separate use of force that officers must separately justify as objectively reasonable, necessary, and proportional. CPD will continue to require officers to, when possible, use only one five-second energy cycle and reassess the situation before any additional cycles are given or cartridges are discharged. In determining whether any additional application is necessary, CPD officers will consider whether the individual has the ability and has been given a reasonable opportunity to comply prior to applying another cycle. 203. CPD will require that if the subject has been exposed to three, five-second energy cycles (or has been exposed to a cumulative 15 total seconds of energy) and the officer has not gained control, officers switch to other force options unless the officer can reasonably justify that continued Taser use was necessary to ensure the safety of the officer or another person, recognizing that prolonged Taser exposure may increase the risk of death or serious injury. 204. CPD officers must: a. determine the necessity, objective reasonableness, and proportionality of apparent age, size, physical and mental condition, disability, and impairment; b. not use Tasers in drive-stun mode unless the subject is an assailant and other force options are not readily available or would otherwise be ineffective; c. when practicable, avoid the use of Tasers when it is reasonably evident that a deployment may cause serious physical injury, including if the subject is elevated above the ground, if the subject is operating or riding any mode of transportation, or if the subject may be less able to catch or protect themselves in a fall; 60 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 73 of 250 PageID #:4815 d. not use Tasers in any environment that contains potentially flammable, volatile, or explosive material; e. not use Tasers on a subject who is at a greater risk of serious injury or death from Taser use, including, but not limited to, children, pregnant individuals, and the elderly, unless the subject is an assailant and other force options are not readily available or would otherwise be ineffective; f. target the Taser in probe mode at the lower center mass and avoid the head, neck, and genitalia; g. not activate more than one Taser at a time against a subject, unless an officer already attempted to use a Taser against the subject but the probes did not make contact with the subject; and h. keep Tasers in a weak-side holster. 205. CPD officers must request medical aid for a person subjected to a Taser application. CPD officers must place any person subjected to a Taser application in a position that does not impair respiration, as soon as it is safe and feasible to do so. CPD officers must render life-saving aid to injured persons consistent with their training until medical professionals arrive on scene. Only trained medical personnel may remove Taser probes from a subject. 206. CPD will conduct Taser inspections on a periodic basis to perform information downloads, ensure Tasers are operable, and perform necessary maintenance or repairs. c. 61 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 74 of 250 PageID #:4816 207. CPD officers may use OC devices only when such force is objectively reasonable, necessary, and proportional under the totality of the circumstances, and consistent with the objectives above. 208. CPD officers may only use OC devices for crowd dispersal when such force is necessary, objectively reasonable, and proportional to the threat presented to public safety. CPD will continue to require that the Superintendent or his or her designee provides authorization before OC devices are used for noncompliant groups, crowds, or an individual taking part in a group or crowd. 209. When safe and feasible to do so, CPD officers must issue verbal commands and warnings to the subject prior to, during, and after the discharge of an OC device. When safe and feasible to do so, CPD will require officers to allow a subject a reasonable amount of time to comply with a warning prior to using or continuing to use an OC device, unless doing so would compromise the safety of an officer or another person. 210. Each individual application of an OC device personal OC device) by a CPD officer must be objectively reasonable, necessary, and proportional under the totality of the circumstances, and consistent with the objectives above. 211. CPD officers must assist subjects exposed to application of an OC device with decontamination and flushing when it is safe and feasible to do so. CPD officers must request the appropriate medical aid for a subject after the discharge of an OC device if the subject appears to be in any physical 62 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 75 of 250 PageID #:4817 distress, or complains of injury or aggravation of a pre-existing medical condition (e.g., asthma, emphysema, bronchitis, or a heart ailment). 212. CPD officers may only use department-issued or approved OC devices. d. 213. Impact Weapons CPD officers must not use impact weapons (e.g., baton, asp, improvised impact weapons) to intentionally strike a subject in the head or neck, except when deadly force is justified. 214. When safe and feasible to do so, CPD officers must give verbal commands and warnings prior to, during, and after using an impact weapon. 215. CPD officers must receive training on proper use of an impact weapon before being permitted to carry such weapon. 216. CPD officers must request appropriate medical aid for a subject who experiences an impact weapon strike when the subject appears to be in any physical distress or complains of injury, or when the subject sustained a strike to the head from an impact weapon or a hard, fixed object. CPD officers must render life-saving training until medical professionals arrive on scene. C. Reporting Uses of Force 217. To be effective, members. When CPD members use force, they must be able to demonstrate that the force used take appropriate action to address it. To facilitate evaluation of how CPD members use force, CPD will ensure that members report incidents when they use force and that supervisors collect and review available information about the incidents. 63 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 76 of 250 PageID #:4818 218. CPD members must report and document any reportable use of force. Beginning January 1, 2019, a reportable use of force will be defined as any use of force by a CPD member included in any of the following three levels: a. A level 1 reportable use of force is the use of any force by a CPD member to overcome the active resistance of a subject that does not rise to a level 2 or level 3 reportable use of force. This would include force that is reasonably expected to cause pain or an injury, but does not result in injury or complaint of injury. The following techniques are level 1 reportable uses of force when applied in response to active resistance: pressure point compliance techniques; joint manipulation techniques; wristlocks; armbars; and any leg sweep, weaponless defense techniques, or takedown that does not result in injury or complaint of injury. It is not a reportable use of force for a CPD member to escort, touch, or handcuff a person with no or minimal resistance. b. A level 2 reportable use of force is the use of any force by a CPD member that includes use of a less-lethal weapon or that causes an injury or results in a complaint of an injury, but that does not rise to a level 3 reportable use of force. Force options in this level include: discharge of an OC device; discharge of a Taser; impact weapon strikes to any part of the body other than the head or neck; use of impact munitions; any physical apprehension by a canine; any reportable use of force against a handcuffed subject; and any leg sweep, weaponless defense technique, or takedown resulting in an injury or complaint of injury. 64 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 77 of 250 PageID #:4819 c. A level 3 reportable use of force is when a CPD member does any of the following: uses any force that constitutes deadly force, such as discharging a airway or carotid artery; uses any force that causes the death of any person; or uses any force that causes injury to any person resulting in admission to a hospital. 219. Whenever a CPD member engages in a reportable use of force, the member must complete a TRR, or any similar form of documentation CPD may implement, prior to the end of his or her tour of duty. In addition to completing the TRR, officers must also document the reason for the initial stop, arrest, or other enforcement action per CPD policy. CPD may allow members requiring medical attention a reasonable amount of additional time to complete the required documentation. CPD may allow supervisors to complete the TRR for members who are unable to complete the report due to injury or in other extraordinary circumstances. 220. In completing the TRR, or whatever similar documentation CPD may implement, CPD members must include a narrative that describes with specificity the use of force incident, , or other circumstances necessitating the level of force used; and the involved member's response, including de-escalation efforts attempted and the specific types and amounts of force used. The narrative requirement does not apply to CPD members who discharged a firearm in the performance of duty or participated in an officer-involved death in the performance of duty. Any CPD member who observes or is present when another CPD member discharges a firearm or uses other deadly force must complete a written witness statement prior to the end of his or her tour of duty. CPD members will note in their TRRs the 65 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 78 of 250 PageID #:4820 existence of any body-worn camera or in-car camera audio or video footage, and whether any such footage was viewed in advance of completing the TRR or any other incident reports. CPD members must complete TRRs, or whatever similar documentation CPD may implement, and other reports related to the incident, truthfully and thoroughly. 221. Any CPD member who engages in a reportable use of force must immediately report the inc supervisor and the Watch Operations Lieutenant of the district of occurrence. 222. A CPD supervisor will immediately respond to the scene when a level 2 or level 3 reportable use of force responding supervisor discretion, respond to the scene when a level 1 reportable use of force occurs, but they are not required to do so. 223. For level 2 and level 3 reportable use of force incidents, the duties of the responding supervisor will include, at a minimum: a. identifying known available witnesses to the use of force to the extent reasonably possible and documenting their identities and statements in a written report, except in incidents for which the Civilian Office of Police COPA receives administrative notifications and responds to the scene; b. coordinating with COPA, as appropriate; c. gathering and preserving evidence related to the use of force; d. requesting the assignment of an evidence technician to photograph persons involved in the incident, including any injuries sustained; e. ensuring that members and subjects receive appropriate medical care; 66 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 79 of 250 PageID #:4821 f. making notifications as required by CPD policy; and g. reviewing reports regarding the incident for legibility and completeness. 224. In addition, for level 2 and level 3 reportable use of force incidents involving an injury or complaint of injury for which COPA does not have jurisdiction, the responding supervisor will undertake reasonable efforts to identify and interview additional witnesses beyond those that are known and available. 225. A supervisor who used force or ordered force to be used during a reportable use of force incident will not perform the duties assigned to the responding supervisor for that incident. 226. CPD will continue to require the responding supervisor to document information portion of the TRR, or in any other similar form of documentation CPD may implement. 227. Any CPD member who becomes aware of information indicating that a reportable use of force occurred but was not reported must immediately notify his or her supervisor. D. 228. Supervisory Review of Reportable Uses of Force Supervisors play a critical role in ensuring that force is used legally, consistent with CPD policy, and in a manner that will promote community confidence in the Department. Supervisor reviews and investigations of uses of force are essential to identify necessary individual and departmental corrective action. 229. All reportable uses of force by CPD members must be reviewed by CPD supervisors. 67 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 80 of 250 PageID #:4822 230. After a reportable use of force has occurred, required TRRs have been completed, and, in the case of level 2 and level 3 incidents, a responding supervisor has documented any investigatory information collected, the incident will be reviewed and evaluated by a CPD supervisor at least the rank of Lieutenant, and in all instances at least one rank level above that of the highest-ranking member who engaged in the reportable use of force, or by a command staff member, when designated reviewing supervisor 231. The reviewing supervisor will conduct an investigation into the reportable use of force incident by reviewing all information reasonably available regarding the incident, including written reports, video or audio recordings, and, in the case of level 2 and level 3 reportable use of force incidents, witness statements, photographs (if available), and other evidence or information collected by the responding supervisor. After advising the subject of his or her right not to answer questions and other applicable rights, and only if the subject voluntarily consents to an interview, the reviewing supervisor will interview the subject solely about the reportable use of force. In addition, the reviewing supervisor will visually inspect the subject and document any injuries observed. 232. For all reportable uses of force, the reviewing supervisor will determine, based on the information reviewed, if the use of force requires a notification to COPA and will assess whether the use of force was in compliance with CPD policy (except for incidents involving deadly force or an officer-involved death). The reviewing supervisor will also review the TRR, or any similar form of documentation CPD may implement, for sufficiency and completeness. 233. For all reportable use of force incidents, the reviewing supervisor will: provide timely, constructive feedback, where appropriate, to the officer who engaged in the reportable use of force 68 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 81 of 250 PageID #:4823 necessary based on the incident; take appropriate action, including referring uses of force that may violate law or CPD policy to COPA. 234. CPD will continue to require the reviewing supervisor to document in a Tactical Response Report Investigation TRR-I , or in any other similar form of documentation CPD may implement, his or her detailed assessment of compliance with CPD policy, any constructive feedback, and any required or recommended action. In addition, the reviewing supervisor will include in the TRR-I or in any other similar form of documentation CPD may implement, the identities of CPD members on scene during the incident who are reasonably believed to have relevant knowledge or information regarding the reportable use of force. 235. All district-level supervisory review documentation regarding a reportable use of force incident must be completed within 48 hours of the incident, unless an extension is approved by a command staff member. E. Body-Worn Cameras 236. CPD will continue to develop, implement, and maintain a system of video -worn cameras. The use of body-worn cameras will be designed to increase officer accountability, improve trust and CPD legitimacy in enforcement-related activities. 237. CPD will continue to require all officers assigned to patrol field duties to wear body-worn cameras and microphones with which to record law-enforcement related activities as outlined in the Illinois Law Enforcement Officer-Worn Body Camera Act (50 ILCS 706/10-1 et seq.), with limited exceptions, including, but not limited to, when requested by a victim or witness of a crime, or interacting with a confidential informant. CPD will develop and 69 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 82 of 250 PageID #:4824 implement a written policy delineating the circumstances when officers will not be equipped with bodyworn cameras. 238. CPD will continue to maintain a policy regarding body-worn camera video and audio recording that will require officers to record their law-enforcement related activities, and that will ensure the recording Retention Schedule (CPD-11.717) and the Illinois Law Enforcement Officer-Worn Body Camera -worn camera policy will: a. clearly state which officers are required to use body-worn cameras and under which circumstances; b. require officers, subject to limited exceptions specified in writing, to activate their cameras when responding to calls for service and during all law enforcement-related activities that occur while on duty, and to continue recording until the conclusion of the incident(s); c. require officers to articulate in writing or on camera their reason(s) for failing to record an activity that CPD policy otherwise requires to be recorded; d. require officers to inform subjects that they are being recorded unless doing so would be unsafe, impractical, or impossible; e. address relevant privacy considerations, including restrictions on recording inside a home, and the need to protect witnesses, victims, and children; f. establish a download and retention protocol; g. CPD policy and training purposes; 70 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 83 of 250 PageID #:4825 h. require that the reviewing supervisor review videos of incidents involving reportable uses of force by a subordinate; and i. specify that officers who knowingly fail to comply with the policy may be subject to progressive discipline, training, or other remedial action. 239. CPD officers must comply with the body-worn camera policy. CPD will impose progressive discipline, training, or other remedial action on officers who do not comply with the body-worn camera policy, as permitted by applicable law. 240. Any CPD officer required to wear a body-worn camera must: a. visually and physically inspect the body-worn camera and ensure that it is the each tour of duty; and b. notify a supervisor as soon as practical body-worn camera becomes inoperable (including when either or both of the audio or video recording functions is inoperable) or is damaged. 241. CPD will ensure that any CPD officer who reports an inoperable or damaged bodyworn camera is promptly provided with a temporary or replacement bodyworn camera, which will in no event 242. CPD will ensure that CPD officers assigned to Department vehicles that are equipped with in-car cameras check that the cameras are fully functional at the beginning of each watch and make appropriate notifications when they are not. CPD will ensure that any nonfunctioning or malfunctioning in-car camera is repaired or replaced within two weeks of a CPD officer reporting that the in-car camera is not functioning properly. 71 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 84 of 250 PageID #:4826 F. Use of Force Training 243. knowledge -service and in-service training must provide officers with of policies and laws regulating the use of force; equip officers with tactics and skills, including de-escalation techniques, to prevent or reduce the need to use force or, when force must be used, to use force that is objectively reasonable, necessary, and proportional under the totality of the circumstances; and ensure appropriate supervision and accountability. 244. devices, impact weapons, and other force options that CPD currently authorizes or may authorize in the future will be consistent with its commitment to de-escalation as a core principle. Any initial training, qualification, or requalification regarding these force options will incorporate scenario-based elements, including scenarios in which officers achieve resolution without employing force. regarding required procedures and techniques after each of these force options are used, 245. CPD will provide all current CPD officers with in-service use of force training on at least an annual basis, and more frequently when necessitated by developments in applicable law and CPD policy. CPD will coordinate and review all use of force training to ensure quality, consistency, and compliance with federal and state law, CPD policy, and this Agreement. 246. The annual use of force training will include the following topics: a. CPD policies and Fourth Amendment law governing the use of force; 72 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 85 of 250 PageID #:4827 b. proper use of force decision-making that utilizes a critical thinking framework in which officers gather relevant facts; assess the situation, threats, and risks; consider CPD policy; identify options and determine the best course of action; and act, review, and reassess the situation; c. role-playing scenarios and interactive exercises that illustrate proper use of force decision-making; d. ethical decision-making and peer intervention, principles of procedural justice, the role of implicit bias, and strategies for interacting with individuals in crisis; e. de-escalation techniques and tactics to prevent or reduce the need for force, including exercising persuasion and advice, and providing a warning; stabilizing the situation through the use of time, distance, or positioning to isolate and contain a subject; and requesting additional personnel to respond or make use of specialized units or equipment; the proper deployment of CPD-issued or -approved weapons or technologies, including firearms and Tasers; f. use of force reporting, investigation, and review requirements, including documenting reportable use of force incidents; and g. other topics as determined based on the training needs assessment required by this Agreement. 247. CPD will also provide initial training on all of the topics identified above, as well as others, to all recruits as part of its recruit training curriculum. 73 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 86 of 250 PageID #:4828 248. Supervisors of all ranks, as part of their initial pre-service promotional training and other identified supervisory training, will receive training on the following: a. conducting use of force reviews or investigations appropriate to their rank; b. strategies for effectively directing officers in de-escalation principles and that is excessive or otherwise in violation of policy; and c. supporting officers who report objectively unreasonable or unreported force, or who are retaliated against for attempting to prevent objectively unreasonable force. VI. RECRUITMENT, HIRING, AND PROMOTION A. Guiding Principles 249. Having a department that recruits, hires, and promotes officers who are qualified to meet the increasingly complex needs of law enforcement and that reflects a broad cross section of the Chicago community in which it serves is critical to accomplishing the following goals: running a professional police force; building community trust and confidence; increasing le perceptions of bias. 250. The provisions of this Agreement are designed to ensure that CPD attracts, hires, retains, and promotes individuals who are equipped to perform their jobs safely, effectively, and in accordance with the law, CPD policy, and the terms of this Agreement. Further, this Agreement is designed to ensure that CPD promotes individuals who are capable of: providing effective supervision; guiding officers 74 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 87 of 250 PageID #:4829 under their command on lawful, safe, and effective policing; and holding officers accountable for misconduct. 251. will show a commitment to attracting, hiring, and promoting qualified candidates at all ranks that reflect a broad cross section of the Chicago community the Department serves. 252. The Parties acknowledge that the City and CPD are currently subject to the City , dated May 14, 2014, which may be subject to change in the future. B. Policies and Practices 253. The City and CPD will ensure that its recruitment, hiring, and promotion policies and practices are lawful, fair, and consistent with best practices, anti-discrimination laws, and the terms of this Agreement. 254. CPD will provide clear guidance on its policies and procedures for recruiting, hiring, and promoting police officers and will clearly allocate responsibilities for recruitment, hiring, and promotion efforts. 255. To further this goal, the City and CPD will publish job descriptions for each sworn member title code, specifying the current duties, responsibilities, and minimum qualifications for each position. 256. The City and CPD will continue to review any hiring and promotional exams to ensure they are fair, validated, and properly administered. 257. General C. CPD will inform officers of the role of the Office of the Inspector in overseeing the hiring and promotions processes. Recruitment and Hiring 75 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 88 of 250 PageID #:4830 258. By December 31, 2020, and at least every three years thereafter, CPD will assess its recruitment and hiring processes to ensure that its policies and practices comply with the law, are transparent, and are consistent with this Agreement. 259. The recruitment and hiring assessment will identify and consider: a. the core set of characteristics and capabilities of qualified recruits; b. methods for consideration of discriminatory or biased behavior by the applicant against a member of a protected class in hiring decisions; c. barriers and challenges to successfully completing the recruit application process; d. Department strategies for attracting and hiring qualified applicants that reflect a broad cross section of the Chicago community; e. input, which could consider surveys, from successful and unsuccessful applicants, recruits and other CPD members, community members, community-based organizations, legal and law enforcement professionals, and internal and external subject matter experts regarding the strengths and weaknesses of the recruitment and hiring processes; f. recommendations for any modifications to the current recruitment and hiring processes that would enable CPD to satisfy the requirements of this section; and g. a plan for implementing any recommended modifications with a timeline for implementation. 260. CPD will implement the plan above in Paragraph 259 in accordance with the specified timeline for implementation. 76 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 89 of 250 PageID #:4831 D. 261. Sergeant and Lieutenant Promotions Within 18 months of the Effective Date, and at least every three years thereafter, CPD will obtain an independent expert assessment of its promotions processes for the ranks of Sergeant and Lieutenant to ensure that its policies and practices comply with the law, are transparent, and are consistent with this Agreement. The independent expert will review the existing Hiring Plan, and any relevant collective bargaining agreements in order to conduct the assessment of the Sergeant and Lieutenant promotions processes. The Sergeant and Lieutenant promotions assessment, at a minimum, will identify: a. the processes by which CPD selects candidates for promotion to Sergeant and Lieutenant who possess a core set of competencies, characteristics, and capabilities and, when applicable, who are effective supervisors in compliance with CPD policy and this Agreement; b. methods for c disciplinary history in the selection process; c. Department strategies for promoting qualified applicants who reflect a broad cross section of the Chicago community; d. the frequency with which CPD should hold promotional exams; e. opportunities to increase transparency and officer awareness about the promotions process and promotions decisions, including, but not limited to, identifying criteria for promotions; and f. recommendations for any modifications to the current promotions processes, which would enable CPD to address the requirements of this section. 262. Within 60 days of the completion of the independent expert s promotions assessment, CPD will develop an implementation plan to respond to any 77 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 90 of 250 PageID #:4832 recommendations identified in the assessment, including any recommended modifications to the promotions processes and a timeline for implementation. Upon completion, CPD will share the results of the assessment and its implementation plan with the Monitor for review and approval. Within 60 approval, CPD will begin to implement the plan. E. Captain and Commander Promotions 263. Within 365 days of the Effective Date, CPD will identify and publish, both internally and externally, for the ranks of Captain and Commander, the duties, eligibility criteria, knowledge, skills, and abilities considered to select qualified candidates who are effective supervisors in compliance with CPD policy and this Agreement. 264. Within 365 days of the Effective Date, CPD will develop strategies to increase transparency and awareness about the promotions process for the ranks of Captain and Commander, including, but not limited to, criteria for promotions and promotion decisions. VII. TRAINING A. Guiding Principles 265. CPD will enhance its recruit training, field training, in-service training, and preservice promotional training so that they are sufficient in duration and scope to prepare officers to comply with CPD directives consistently, effectively, and in accordance with the law, CPD policy, best practices, and this Agreement. 266. CPD training will reflect its commitment to procedural justice, de- escalation, impartial policing, and community policing. 78 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 91 of 250 PageID #:4833 267. diligently and safely, and have an understanding of, and commitment to, the constitutional rights of the individuals they encounter. 268. The training required under this Agreement is set out in this section and, for specific topic areas, in the Community Policing, Impartial Policing, Crisis Intervention, Use of Force, Officer Wellness and Support, and Accountability and Transparency sections. B. Training Plan 269. The Parties acknowledge that in late 2016, CPD established the Training program. 270. The TOC, or other similarly-structured oversight entity, will continue to review include, in some capacity, personnel from various units of the Department that are responsible for overseeing patrol field operations; administering training; providing legal advice; coordinating and exercising supervision over disciplinary matters; managing data, technology, and information systems; overseeing and coordinating the community relations strategy; and reviewing reportable use of force incidents. It will meet at least once a month and continue to record meeting minutes. 271. Education and Training Division will, under the supervision of the TOC, conduct a needs assessment, which will, among other things identify and consider: a. information collected from use of force reviews, discipline and civilian complaints, and reports of officer safety issues; 79 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 92 of 250 PageID #:4834 b. input from CPD members of all ranks and their respective collective bargaining units, if applicable; c. input from members of the community; d. recommendations from CPD oversight entities, including, but not limited to COPA, the Deputy Inspector General for Public Safety , and the Police Board; e. changes in the law, to the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board requirements, and to CPD policy, if any; f. court decisions and litigation; g. research reflecting the latest in training and law enforcement best practices; h. information obtained from evaluation of training courses, instructors, and FTOs; and i. member reaction to, and satisfaction with, the training they received. 272. Within one year of the Effective Date, and on an annual basis thereafter, the Education and Training Division will develop written and the TOC will review and approve a , in-service, and pre-service promotional training to ensure that CPD members are trained to safely, effectively, and lawfully carry out their duties in accordance with the law, CPD policy, best practices, and this Agreement. CPD will implement the Training Plan in accordance with the specified timeline for implementation. The Training Plan will: a. identify training priorities, principles, and broad goals consistent with this Agreement; 80 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 93 of 250 PageID #:4835 b. prioritize the needs identified during the needs assessment and identify those needs that will be addressed by the plan; c. include a plan and schedule for delivering all CPD training as necessary to fulfill the requirements and goals of this Agreement; d. identify subject areas for CPD training; e. determine the mandatory and elective courses, consistent with this Agreement, to be provided as part of the In-Service Training Program; f. develop a plan to inform officers about the In-Service Training Program, its course offerings, and its requirements; g. determine which aspects of the In-Service Training Program can be delivered in a decentralized manner, including e-learning, and which training requires more intensive, centralized delivery, to ensure effective delivery and comprehension of the material; h. address any needed modification of the Field Training and Evaluation Program to fulfill the requirements and goals of this Agreement; i. identify necessary training resources including, but not limited to, instructors, curricula, equipment, and training facilities; j. determine the content, consistent with this Agreement, to be provided as part of pre-service promotional training for Sergeants, Lieutenants, Captains, and command staff; k. develop a plan to implement and utilize a centralized electronic system for scheduling and tracking all CPD training; 81 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 94 of 250 PageID #:4836 l. develop a plan to implement and utilize a system for assessing the content and delivery of all CPD training, including training provided by outside instructors or non-CPD entities; and m. identify community-based organizations that represent a broad cross section of the city to participate, as feasible, practical, and appropriate, in the development and delivery of the curriculum regarding subjects including, but not limited to, procedural justice, de-escalation, impartial policing, and community policing, and make efforts to encourage such participation by such organizations. C. Training Development and Delivery 273. With oversight from the TOC, CPD will develop and implement recruit, field, inservice, and pre-service promotional training curricula and lesson plans t Training Plan and that address the requirements and goals of this Agreement. 274. pursuant to the Training Plan, will develop and approve training curricula, lesson plans, and course materials that are (a) consistent across subjects; (b) of sufficient quality to adequately communicate the intended subject matter to CPD members; and (c) in accordance with the law, CPD policy, best practices, and this Agreement. 275. The TOC will oversee the integration of the concepts of procedural justice, deescalation, impartial policing, and community policing into CPD training, including, but not limited to use of force, weapons training, and Fourth Amendment subjects, as appropriate. 82 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 95 of 250 PageID #:4837 276.

Within seven days of the receipt of a misconduct complaint or the initiation of an administrative investigation, whichever occurs first, the City will identify any available reportable use of force documentation associated with the incident and ensure such documentation is accessible via the CMS or similar system. By June 30, 2020, whenever a reportable use of force incident becomes the subject of a misconduct investigation, COPA will notify CPD via the CMS within three days of the initiation of the investigation. 571. CPD must have an electronic system that accurately and reliably tracks all data derived from reportable use of force incidents, including: a. the response by CPD members during the incident, including the type(s) of force used; b. the date, time, location, and district of the incident; c. whether a foot or vehicle pursuit occurred that is associated with the incident; d. the actual or, if unavailable, perceived race, ethnicity, age, and gender of the subject; 178 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 191 of 250 PageID #:4933 e. the name, watch, employee number, and unit and beat of assignment of any CPD member(s) who used force; f. CPD units identified in the incident report as being on the scene of the use of force incident; g. whether the incident occurred during an officer-initiated contact or a call for service; h. dition, use of drugs or alcohol, ability to understand verbal commands, or disability, as perceived by the CPD member(s) at the time force was used; i. j. whether the CPD member perceived that the subject possessed a weapon and, if so, what type(s); k. whether the subject possessed a weapon and, if so, what type(s); l. whether reportable force was used against a subject that was handcuffed or otherwise in physical restraints; m. any injuries sustained by CPD members; n. any injuries sustained or alleged by the subject(s) and any medical treatment that was offered or performed on the scene of the incident; o. for each weapon discharged by an officer, including firearms, Tasers, and OC devices, the number of discharges per weapon; and p. whether the subject was charged with an offense and, if so, which offense(s). 572. CPD will regularly review citywide and district-level data regarding reportable uses of force to: 179 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 192 of 250 PageID #:4934 a. assess the relative frequency and type of force used by CPD members against persons in specific demographic categories, including race or ethnicity, gender, age, or perceived or known disability status; and b. identify and address any trends that warrant changes to policy, training, tactics, equipment, or Department practice. 573. Prior to conducting the initial assessment required by Paragraph 572, CPD will share its proposed methodology, including any proposed factors to be considered as part of the assessment, with the Monitor for review and approval. with published, peer-reviewed methodologies and this Agreement. 574. A designated unit at the CPD headquarters level will routinely review and audit documentation and information collected regarding each level 2 reportable use of force incident, a representative sample of level 1 reportable use of force, and incidents involving accidental firearms discharges and animal destructions with no human injuries to ensure: a. CPD members completely and thoroughly reported the reason for the initial stop, arrest, or other enforcement action, the type and amount of force used, t used, and all efforts to de-escalate the situation; b. the district-level supervisory review, investigation, and policy compliance determinations regarding the incident were thorough, complete, objective, and consistent with CPD policy; c. any tactical, equipment, or policy concerns are identified and, to the extent necessary, addressed; and 180 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 193 of 250 PageID #:4935 d. any patterns related to use of force incidents are identified and, to the extent necessary, addressed. 575. certain responsibilities described in the preceding paragraph. CPD will ensure that the FRU or any other unit tasked with these responsibilities has sufficient resources to perform them. CPD will ensure that the FRU or any other unit tasked with these responsibilities is staffed with CPD members, whether sworn or civilian, with sufficient experience, rank, knowledge, and expertise of force practices and related reporting and review procedures; conduct trend analysis based on use of force data; identify tactical, equipment, training, or policy concerns based on analysis of use of force incidents and data; and develop recommendations regarding modifications to tactics, equipment, training, or policy as necessary to address identified practices or trends relating to the use of force. 576. CPD will conduct random audits of body-worn and in-car camera recordings of incidents that involved civilian interactions to assess whether CPD officers are complying with CPD policy. CPD will take corrective action to address identified instances where CPD officers have not complied with CPD policy as permitted by law, and will identify any trends that warrant changes to policy, training, tactics, equipment, or Department practice. 577. improvement perspective: (a) any level 3 reportable use of force incident, except for accidental firearms discharges and animal destructions with no human injuries, and (b) any reportable uses of force by a CPD command staff member. 579. For any reportable use of force incident subject to an ongoing investigation by COPA, COPA will be exclusively responsible for recommending disciplinary action relating to 181 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 194 of 250 PageID #:4936 a. evaluate if actions by CPD members during the incident were tactically sound and consistent with CPD training; and b. if applicable, identify specific modifications to existing policy, training, tactics, or equipment that could minimize the risk of deadly force incidents occurring and the risk of harm to officers and the public. 580. The FRB will be chaired by the Superintendent, or his or her designee, and will include, at a minimum, the Chief of the Bureau of Patrol, or his or her designee, and CPD members at the rank of Deputy Chief, or above, who are responsible for overseeing policy development, policy implementation, train Counsel, or his or her designee, will also serve on the FRB. 581. The FRB will review each incident within its purview promptly, which will in no event be more than 96 hours after the incident occurs. Within 30 days after its review of an incident, the FRB will issue recommendations, if appropriate, to the Superintendent regarding any need for additional training or modifications to policies, tactics, equipment, or Department practices. Upon review and approval by the Superintendent, or his or her designee, the FRB will assign each approved recommendation to a specific CPD command staff member for implementation. CPD will promptly implement each approved recommendation. C. 582. Publication of Data Regarding Reportable Uses of Force Beginning within 180 days of the Effective Date, CPD will publish on at least a monthly basis aggregated and incident-level data, excluding personal identifying information (e.g., name, address, contact information), regarding reportable use of force incidents via a publicly accessible, web-based data platform. 182 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 195 of 250 PageID #:4937 583. The publicly accessible, web-based data platform will enable visitors to: a. identify where reportable uses of force occur through interactive maps depicting incident frequencies at a citywide, district, neighborhood, and ward level; b. identify the frequency, in the aggregate and by type, of reportable uses of force at the citywide, district, neighborhood, and ward level through graphs, charts, and other data visualizations; and c. review aggregate demographic information about the race, ethnicity, age, and gender of persons subjected to reportable uses of force at the citywide, district, neighborhood, and ward level through graphs, charts, and other data visualizations. D. 584. Early Intervention System CPD must collect and provide information to supervisors that enables them to proactively identify at-risk behavior by officers under their command, and to provide individualized interventions and support to address the at-risk behavior. CPD must provide supervisors with an automated electronic system that provides this information and equips supervisors to perform these duties. 585. The automated electronic system must be: a. data-driven and developed with statistical methods and analytic techniques; b. customizable t c. adaptive as new information becomes available; d. capable of being audited and evaluated to improve accuracy; and 183 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 196 of 250 PageID #:4938 e. able to generate sufficient data that enables assessment of the effects, if any, of support provided and interventions undertaken. 586. The automated electronic system must perform these primary functions: a. using statistical methods to identify officers who are at elevated risk of engaging in conduct leading to at-risk behavior; b. identifying and facilitating support and interventions that prevent or reduce the occurrence of the identified at-risk behavior; c. providing supervisors with a dashboard of relevant information about members under their direct command to facilitate appropriate supervisory intervention and support; and d. performing peer group analysis with comparative data to account for differences in job assignments, and to identify group- and unit-level patterns of activity. 587. A primary goal of the automated electronic system will be to facilitate early identification of officers at elevated risk of being involved in certain types of events so that the officers can receive tailored interventions intended to reduce such risk. The types of events sought to be avoided could include, depending upon the feasibility of identifying these events using statistical methods and analytic techniques, examples such as any instance in which a CPD member is: directly involved in an excessive force incident; subject to a sustained finding in a misconduct investigation; a defendant in a civil lawsuit resulting in an adverse judgment or settlement; suspended more than five days; the subject of a recommendation of employment termination by COPA, BIA, or the Superintendent; a direct participant in an officer-involved shooting or death determined to be unjustified or out of policy by COPA, BIA, the 184 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 197 of 250 PageID #:4939 Superintendent, the Police Board, or a court of law; convicted of a crime; or subject to an increased risk of suicide or alcohol and/or substance abuse. 588. The automated electronic system must include a computerized relational database that will be used to collect, maintain, integrate, analyze, visualize, and retrieve data for each CPD officer. The information collected and maintained must include but is not limited to: a. all reportable uses of force; b. all arrests by CPD personnel; c. all injuries to and deaths of persons in CPD custody; d. all injuries and deaths resulting from conduct by CPD personnel; e. all vehicle pursuits and traffic collisions involving CPD equipment or personnel; f. all misconduct complaints and investigations involving CPD officers, including the disposition of each allegation; g. all civil or administrative claims initiated against the City or CPD, or CPD officers for job-related conduct; h. all criminal proceedings initiated against a CPD officer, which CPD will require officers to report; i. all instances in which CPD is notified that a court has made a negative credibility determination regarding a CPD officer; j. Office that an affirmative finding was made during the course of a criminal proceeding that a CPD member was untruthful, including any findings made at suppression hearings; 185 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 198 of 250 PageID #:4940 k. all instances in which CPD learns through Office, the United States Illinois, or other prosecutorial authority that prosecution was declined based in l. judicial proceedings where an officer is the subject of a restraining or protective order, which CPD will require officers to report; m. disciplinary history for all CPD members; n. all non-disciplinary corrective action retained electronically; o. a -worn and in-car camera policies; p. all awards and commendations received by CPD officers; q. officer sick leave usage; r. missed court appearances; s. training history; and t. rank, assignment, and transfer history. 588. CPD will collect and maintain all information reasonably necessary to identify patterns of behavior that are indicative of a future instance of at-risk behavior. The automated electronic system must employ specific criteria to identify officers who will be subject to an intervention or targeted support. The criteria may be based on a single indicator, such as the number of misconduct complaints against an officer, a combination of multiple indicators, or an algorithmic scoring model. CPD will adjust the criteria as necessary based on data and experience to ensure interventions and support are optimally targeted. 589. CPD will ensure that all required information is entered into the automated electronic system in a timely, accurate, and complete manner. All information captured within 186 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 199 of 250 PageID #:4941 the automated electronic system will be accessible in an organized manner that facilitates identification of at-risk officer conduct. 590. CPD will require unit commanding officers to review the automated electronic system data regarding all officers who are transferred to their command within 14 days of the transfer. CPD will require supervisors to conduct monthly reviews of the automated electronic system data regarding officers under their direct command. The purpose of these reviews will be for supervisors to identify and address patterns of behavior by officers under their direct command that are indicative of a future instance of at-risk behavior. CPD will also require supervisors to review the automated electronic system data together with officers under their direct command during the annual performance evaluation process. 591. The automated electronic system will employ push notifications and similar mechanisms to alert supervisors when patterns of conduct indicative of a future instance of atrisk behavior are identified. CPD will provide appropriate interventions and support in a timely manner. 592. CPD will ensure that any CPD member required to receive counseling after being identified through the automated electronic system has the opportunity to participate in an initial counseling session within 14 days of the member being notified of the requirement. 593. CPD will ensure that command staff regularly use the automated electronic system data to effectively manage CPD officers and supervisors across all ranks, watches, beats, and districts. 594. CPD will provide training to all officers, supervisors, and command staff regarding the automated electronic system to ensure proper understanding and use of the system. 187 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 200 of 250 PageID #:4942 595. CPD will train all supervisors to use the automated electronic system as designed, to interpret the outputs, to perform appropriate interventions and support, to address underlying stressors to promote officer well-being, and to improve the performance of officers under their direct command. 596. CPD will conduct annual audits of the automated electronic system. The audits will: a. assess the overall effectiveness of the automated electronic system and the support and interventions prompted by the system; b. assess whether and to what extent supervisors are completing monthly reviews of the automated electronic system information regarding officers under their direct command; c. assess whether and to what extent CPD is providing interventions and support in a timely manner; d. assess whether the interventions and support provided are appropriate and effective; and e. identify any recommended changes to improve the effectiveness of the automated electronic system. 597. CPD will provide timely and appropriate interventions and support to officers identified through the automated electronic system. Interventions and support will be designed to assist officers in avoiding and correcting at-risk behavior. All interventions and support will be documented in the automated electronic system. CPD will review, evaluate, and document in the automated electronic system the progress and effectiveness of the intervention or support strategy for each officer. 188 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 201 of 250 PageID #:4943 598. In seeking to provide improved support and wellness to its officers, CPD will seek to identify which supports and interventions are most helpful to officers and develop support and training based on CPD feedback and best practices. The types of support services offered to CPD officers may include, but not be limited to: counseling; training; coaching and mentoring; and additional supervision or monitoring. 599. CPD currently maintains a PRS, which is modeled on first-generation attempts by other large departments to develop early intervention systems to identify and address at-risk -generation EIS that will improve on early intervention systems implemented in other jurisdictions. 600. CPD will maintain its partnership with the Crime Lab or another similarly qualified service provider until such time as an EIS consistent with the requirements of this Agreement has been implemented department-wide, and CPD has developed sufficient technical competency to maintain and improve the EIS as necessary. 601. CPD will continue to solicit input and feedback from representatives of its collective bargaining units during the development and implementation of the EIS. 602. Prior to beginning the phased implementation of the EIS, CPD will develop and implement new or revised policies and procedures for using the EIS and, if applicable, the updated PRS and information obtained from them. The policies and procedures will address data storage, data retrieval, data analysis, reporting, pattern identification, supervisory use, intervention and support options and procedures, documentation and audits, access to the system, and confidentiality of personally identifiable information. 603. After the completion of the development of the EIS, CPD will implement the EIS through a phased rollout that incorporates pilot testing to identify and address any technical or 189 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 202 of 250 PageID #:4944 design issues. CPD will begin phased implementation of the EIS within 18 months of the Effective Date, and will complete full implementation of the EIS by no later than 24 months after the Effective Date. 604. Prior to full implementation of the EIS, CPD will continue to use the PRS as well as other existing tools and resources to identify patterns of conduct by officers that warrant support and intervention. Following the development and implementation of the EIS, the functions required of the automated electronic system described above may be performed by a combination of the EIS and the PRS as long as all required functions are performed and supervisors are using the system(s) as required by CPD policy. To the extent CPD continues utilizing PRS to perform any of the functions required by this Agreement, CPD will update the 2020. 605. The City will ensure CPD has adequate funding to develop, implement, and maintain the EIS and, if necessary, the updated PRS, including ongoing hardware and support requirements and officer support services. E. Data Systems Plan 606. Within 365 days of the Effective Date, CPD will conduct an assessment of current information collection mechanisms and data management technology to identify: a. what data CPD currently collects and what additional data is required to be collected to comply with this Agreement; b. the manner of collection (e.g., electronic or paper); c. the frequency with which each type of data is updated; 190 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 203 of 250 PageID #:4945 d. the quality control mechanisms in place, or the need for such mechanisms, to ensure the accuracy of data collected; e. what software applications or data systems CPD currently has and the extent to which they are used or accessed by CPD members; f. redundancies or inefficiencies among the applications and systems currently in use; and g. the extent to which the applications and systems currently in use interact with one another effectively. 607. Within 90 days of completion of the assessment described in the preceding paragraph, CPD will develop a plan, including a timeline for implementation, to prioritize and accordance with the specified timeline for implementation. 608. CPD will continue to maintain an Information Systems Development Group some capacity, personnel from various units of the Department that are responsible for overseeing patrol field operations; conducting criminal investigation and processing juvenile offenders; initiating and conducting investigations of organized crime; overseeing the administrative aspects of CPD; managing data, technology, and information systems; coordinating and exercising supervision over disciplinary matters; administering training; providing legal advice; developing and publishing department policies and procedures; and 191 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 204 of 250 PageID #:4946 overseeing and coordinating CPD s budget and fiscal responsibilities. The ISDG will be responsible for: a. ensuring implementation of the Data Systems Plan; b. nagement technologies are in the best long-term interests of the Department for improving operations and management consistent with the terms of this Agreement; and c. recommending strategies to promote the development, sharing, and reporting of relevant information to the Superintendent, the public, the FRB, COPA, BIA, and OIG. 609. On an annual basis, to improve the accuracy, reliability, and efficiency of its data collection, CPD will review and, as necessary, revise departmental forms relating to: use of force, arrests, interactions with individuals in crisis, and the disciplinary process. XII. IMPLEMENTATION, ENFORCEMENT, AND MONITORING A. Independent Monitor 610. The Parties will jointly select an independent monitor who will assess and report whether the requirements of this Agreement have been implemented, and whether implementation is resulting in constitutional policing and increased community trust of CPD. Agreement. 611. The Monitor will be the agent of the Court and subject to the supervision and orders of the Court, consistent with this Agreement. The Monitor will only have the duties, 192 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 205 of 250 PageID #:4947 responsibilities, and authority conferred by this Agreement. The Monitor will not, and is not intended to, replace or assume the role or duties of any CPD or City official. The Superintendent of CPD continues to be in charge of the Department. 612. In order to assess and report on whether the requirements of this Agreement have been implemented and its objectives are being achieved, the Monitor will conduct the reviews, audits, and assessments specified below, and such additional audits, reviews, and assessments as the Monitor reasonably deems necessary to determine whether the Agreement has been implemented as required. B. Selection and Compensation of the Monitor 613. The Parties will jointly select a Monitor, acceptable to both. The Monitor will have expertise in: policing and law enforcement practices, monitoring and oversight, preparation of reports or other written materials for diverse audiences on complex topics, law and civil rights, project management, data analysis and information technology, communication, and budgeting. The Monitor will also have a demonstrated ability to collaborate with government entities, and members of the monitoring team should have knowledge of Chicago communities and experience working in Chicago with various constituencies. The Monitor and personnel assisting the monitor will act in accordance with standards of integrity, and will consistently demonstrate professionalism and respect in all interactions with the community, CPD members, and all others with whom they interact in the cour 614. In selecting the Monitor, the Parties have established a mutually agreed process in which the public has opportunities to provide input. a.

Any person or entity hired or otherwise retained by the Monitor will be subject to the provisions of this Agreement, including the cap and annual budget provisions set out in this Section. The Monitor will notify the Parties in writing if the Monitor wishes to hire or retain such additional person or entity. The notice will identify and describe the qualifications of the person or entity to be hired or retained, as well as s proposal, the Monitor will be authorized to hire or retain such additional person or entity. The Parties will have 21 days to object to any such proposal after being notified of it. If the Parties and the Monitor are unable to reach agreement regarding the proposal within this time period, the Court will resolve the dispute. 622. At least annually, the Parties will submit written feedback to the Monitor, the Parties, and the Court regarding the Monitor. The feedback may address such topics as the 196 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 209 of 250 PageID #:4951 whether the Monitor is adequately engaging the community and relevant stakeholders. Upon feedback. 623. At any time, on motion by either , the Court may remove the Monitor for good cause. 624. In the event the Monitor is removed, resigns, or is no longer able to fulfill its responsibilities under this Agreement, the Court will appoint a replacement, acceptable to both Parties. The selection of the new Monitor will be made pursuant to a method agreed to by the Parties. If the Parties are unable to agree on a method of selection or make a selection within 45 of one individual or one group of individuals, along with resumes and cost proposals, to the Court, and the Court will choose a candidate or candidate team proposed by one of the Parties. In interim Monitor to serve until such time as the replacement selection process has been completed. 625. Except for the period in which a new or replacement Monitor is being selected, there will be a Monitor in place at all times while this Agreement is in effect. C. Review of CPD Policies and Procedures 626. CPD will develop, revise, implement, and maintain policies and procedures as required by this Agreement consistent with the timelines identified herein. CPD will ensure that its policies and procedures are plainly written, logically organized, and use clearly defined terms. 197 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 210 of 250 PageID #:4952 627. The City and CPD will submit all policies and procedures required to be implemented or maintained by this Agreement to the Monitor and OAG for review, comment, and, subsequently, if necessary, objection. When the City and CPD have developed the draft of a new or revised policy or procedure required by this Agreement, they will consult in a collaborative manner at the earliest feasible time with the Monitor and OAG, with the goal of developing consensus on the substance of the policy or procedure, and make any necessary and appropriate adjustments based on those consultations. The City and CPD will submit the final draft of any new or revised policy or procedure subject to review and comment by the Monitor and OAG to the Monitor and OAG at least 30 days before the policy or procedure is scheduled to take effect, unless the Parties and the Monitor agree that a shorter period of time is appropriate under the circumstances. The Parties and the Monitor will work collaboratively on developing and revising policies and procedures related to this Agreement. 628. In the event that the Monitor and OAG fail to comment on submitted policies or procedures within the 30-day period, the policy or procedure will be deemed to be nonobjectionable by the Monitor and OAG, unless the Monitor, OAG, or both state in writing that additional time is necessary to complete an adequate review and the reason why additional time is necessary. In such writing, the Monitor, OAG, or both will specify how much additional time is necessary, which will not exceed 15 additional days. Any additional time required by the Monitor or OAG beyond the initial 30 implementing the policy or procedure. The Parties may seek relief from the Court to the extent the process of reviewing and approving a particular policy or procedure has become unreasonably delayed. 198 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 211 of 250 PageID #:4953 629.

This Agreement will terminate when the Court finds that the City has achieved full and effective compliance with this Agreement and has maintained such compliance with the material requirements for at least one year for the sections delineated as Group A below, and for at least two years for the sections delineated as Group B below. a. Group A: Recruitment, Hiring, and Promotions; Training; and Officer Wellness and Support. b. Group B: Community Policing; Impartial Policing; Crisis Intervention; Use of Force; Supervision; Accountability and Transparency; and Data Collection, Analysis, and Management. 715. Upon request by the City, the Court will determine whether the City is in full and effective compliance regarding any of the material requirements under the Agreement. The full and effective compliance will start the relevant one- or two- year compliance periods detailed in Paragraph 714 above. 716. If the City and CPD have achieved compliance with some requirements, but not others, the Court may terminate the Agreement as to those requirements for which compliance has been achieved. The Monitor will not review, assess, or audit requirements that are so terminated. At any time prior to the full termination of this Agreement, the Court may reinstate previously terminated requirements upon a showing that compliance with such requirements has materially lapsed. 222 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 235 of 250 PageID #:4977 717. Full and effective compliance with this Agreement means sustained compliance with all material requirements of this Agreement. No specific numerical threshold will be required to demonstrate full and effective compliance. Non-compliance with mere technicalities, or temporary or isolated failure will not constitute failure to achieve full and effective compliance. However, temporary compliance during a period of otherwise sustained noncompliance will not constitute full and effective compliance with the Agreement. 718. In order for the City to seek to terminate this Agreement or portions of this Agreement, the City must file a motion with the Court. Prior to filing a motion to terminate, the City agrees to notify OAG and the Monitor in writing when the City believes that it is in full and effective compliance with this Agreement and that such compliance has been maintained for the required time period. Within 14 days of notification, the Parties will meet and confer at a mutually agreeable time as to the status of compliance. If, after a period of 30 days of consultation, the Parties cannot resolve any compliance issues, the City may file a motion to terminate all or part of the Agreement. 719. If the City moves to terminate the Agreement, OAG will have 60 days after the with the Agreement using methods for assessing compliance contemplated by a Monitoring Plan or this Agreement deadline to so certify if it determines that additional time is required by the Monitor to determine compliance using methods for assessing compliance contemplated by a Monitoring Plan or this Agreement. The Court will hold a hearing on the motion. To terminate a portion of the 223 Case: 1:17-cv-06260 Document #: 703 Filed: 01/31/19 Page 236 of 250 PageID #:4978 Agreement, the Court must find that that portion of the Agreement is sufficiently severable from the other requirements of the Agreement such that partial termination would not impede the 720. At all times, the City will bear the burden of demonstrating by a preponderance of the evidence it has achieved full and effective compliance with the requirements of this Agreement. 721. Prior to termination of this Agreement, CPD will develop a plan, in consultation with the Monitor and OAG, to conduct compliance reviews, audits, and community surveys deemed necessary and appropriate following the termination of the Consent Decree.
