5. Communicate community concerns regarding law enforcement policies, procedures and practices in Milwaukee to the Police Department and the Fire and Police Commission, and present an update to the Common Council on a quarterly basis. Deborah Blanks, Steve, and myself will do this. I am contacting the Common Council on putting us on the agenda.
6. Form that the annual report to the Common Council to the Commission’s findings and recommendations for policies, practices and procedures to build trust between Milwaukee law enforcement and city residents will take. Discussion of who will participate in writing the report.
Minutes note: Fred clarified that the 6 functions of the CCC had been divided among the various committees and that the role of the Research Committee is to (1) conduct and annual survey and (2) communicate any concerns and provide an update to the Common Council.
Steve suggested that we conduct a benchmark survey to discern what the Common Councils wants.
Discussion ensued about Collins and police/community interactions with MPD. Fred asked how will Collins be rolled out. Citizen’s contact cards were suggested. Fred suggested that survey should include how police perceive the community as well as how the community perceive the police and asked how that information would be communicated. Deborah commented that these are very different areas that we are attempting to obtain information on in the survey.
An update was provided on online research venues. Methods discussed included Survey Monkey and Facebook. Fred suggested possibly conducting two surveys. Mailed surveys with follow up questionnaires was again discussed along with issues of validity and reliability. Deborah recommended that questions from the broader CCC not be entertained until the research committee considered its recommendations. She added that to do otherwise may present Institutional Review Board issues and I concurred.
It was decided that Research Committee members should submit five questions to the Chair for review.
