Speaker 0: You are welcome, Chief Geraci. Welcome, Captain Emmett. We're happy to see you. I know we're keeping you out a little late, but.
Speaker 4: We'll.
Speaker 0: Treat you to coffee at coffee cultures other time. All right, so take it away. Welcome.
Speaker 3: Good evening. Thank you all. So I will I will punt to Captain Emmett to go over the policy recommendations. Thank you, Chief, and thank you, mayor, and council and city staff for having us tonight. I'll try to keep this brief. The California Department of Justice Attorney General's office sent a bulletin back in June of this year recommending that we add a section to our policy that talks about the requirement for the attorney general's office to be involved in investigating officer involved shootings. Sorry. 1/2. Sure. Sorry about that. My radio was on. Oh. For AB 1503. That was passed back in September of 2020. So the record, the language that you see in the policy is from lexical. And the other slight change that is in the policy is the notifications that we should be making when we have these types of incidents. And I'll leave it at that and be happy to answer any questions.
Speaker 0: Thank you. Kept them in chief as you did. You want to add anything to that?
Speaker 3: Now the captains cover that. These are requirements, legal requirements that that we should have in our policy. And so we are bring it to the council for approval.
Speaker 0: Thank you. Thank you both. Madam, quick, do we have public speakers on this item?
Speaker 1: We have one.
Speaker 0: Okay. And before we go to our public speakers, any clarifying questions from council? Want to wait till we hear a public speaker? Speakers? Okay, Madam Clerk, let's do our public speaker or speaker's.
Speaker 1: Speakers how enthusiastic a ruling is first.
Speaker 0: All right. Good evening, Speaker Boling.
Speaker 2: Hi there. I'll keep it quick. You know, my feelings on, like, simple. I'm not really a big fan. I think we should be defining our own man. But that aside, if you look at the draft, there are some fields at the bottom of this proposal that weren't fully flexible. You have the like replace department name and city names. Some of those were left with their like the the markers to actually replace. So just calling that out so it doesn't get put into the police policy manual with the like department or city, like similar things at the bottom of it. And I'll leave it at that.
Speaker 0: Thank you. Okay. Our next speaker.
Speaker 1: Marilyn Rosman.
Speaker 0: Good evening speaking. Speaker Rothman.
Speaker 4: Hello. I think that this policy should read instead of shootings and deaths. It should just be a policy regarding deaths, whether shooting is involved or not. Thank you.
Speaker 0: Thank you. And that is all of our public speakers.
Speaker 1: That was the last speaker.
Speaker 0: Okay. So with that, I will close I have a comment on item seven G and we'll go back to the council. Council comments, questions, motion. Councilmember Spencer, I saw your hand.
Speaker 4: Thank you. Never could our chief or captain address the public comment of why this is shoot. What is the shootings and deaths? That's the proposal that the common man understands. It's for me to keep it as is.
Speaker 0: Is that you? Captain Emmett?
Speaker 3: Sure. So this is the DOJ. Change is directly related to officer involved shootings. It's very specific that it has to be a shooting. It is not any other type of death that may occur. Shootings on it.
Speaker 0: Okay. Thank you.
Speaker 4: Thank you. And in regards to the comment of making sure that Alameda was not as you know, all those banks are filled in. I'm sure that will be handled.
Speaker 3: Yes. And that is a mask that allows us to edit the policies within the program itself. And those will automatically repopulate to the proper language.
Speaker 4: Thank you. I'd like to move that. We accept the this item.
Speaker 0: All right. So the. We've had a motion and do we have a second? Councilman next fight.
Speaker 3: I will second it with the one typo. I don't believe we have a bureau. Bureau commander. The word bureau has been inserted twice. Sorry to do an ED editing here.
Speaker 4: And I'm happy to accept that amendment. Oh.
Speaker 0: You're happy. You're happy. Okay, great. Okay. We had a motion. We had a second. Is are there any discussions or comments then? Clark, may we have a roll call vote, please?
Speaker 1: The British flag.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 1: Her. Spencer. I actually.
Speaker 3: I.
Speaker 4: I may.
Speaker 1: Or as Ashcroft. I might carry it. I might.
Speaker 0: All right. Congratulations. APD personnel, this may be the record for the shortest item of the meeting, so. Good work. Thank you very much for all the good work you do for our city. We appreciate it. And thank you for bringing this forward. All right. And we will cut you loose. So then we will move on and we're not doing okay. So we agreed that we would hear those to the council items and then we will move over to. Where do we move to, Madam Clerk?
Speaker 1: I believe that motion was to move it straight to council communication.
Speaker 0: Council communication.
