Human Rights Commission Minutes June 18, 2014 Page 2 of 6 Old Business Rosefest Parade Update Ms. Collins provided a design for a 3-foot by 8-foot banner to be used in the Rosefest Parade and the cost had been slightly under budget. She also provided information on the parade logistics including a schedule. The HRA would be joining the HRC group for the parade and there would be a shuttle available to take people from the City Hall parking lot to the parade line-up location. Vice Chair Becker asked if the television commentators had been provided with material. Ms. Collins stated they currently have the HRC mission statement and it may not be easy to change at this time. They were also informed about the K-1 dancers and they should be recognized. Chair Groff stated they would have brochures to hand out. He asked if there was interest in utilizing any of the signs from previous years. Commissioner Bachhuber stated she would look at the signs with Chair Groff and see what needed to be done to prepare them for the parade and if possible have them ready for individuals to carry. Verbal Report on Meeting with Police Chief Vice Chair Becker stated he and Commissioner Singleton had met with the Police Chief on June 2 and discussed the training they do and in particular their use of force training. The State mandates 8 hours of training per year on the use of force and related topics. Roseville typically trains 12-16 hours per year and it is split up based on theme. Additional training or targeted training is done as needed. One-third of the Roseville Police Force are instructors on the use of force. These training courses are master based and an officer goes through the training until they pass it. The Police Chief estimated that Tasers are deployed 3-4 times per month. Commissioner Singleton stated they had also discussed different types of training including diversity training and they are open to ideas regarding additional training. Ms. Collins stated there are a few officers that speak other languages. Chair Groff asked if they have done any training on how to work with different cultural groups. Vice Chair Becker stated they have done diversity training and community outreach programs such as Coffee with a Cop.
