Police Department Policies Chair Delmore reiterated concerns with the City Police Department's High Speed Chases and Use of Force policies and asked City Manager Malinen for comment. City Manager Malinen noted that the HRC's interest and potential discussion had previously been hampered based on the City Attorney's advice that discussions be non specific in terms of applicability of those policies in order to avoid putting police officers in compromising positions if those policies were made public. Chair Delmore noted that other City Police Departments indicated that their policies were public. City Manager Malinen said he could seek information about how those communities provide policies for discussion in a public forum. Discussion included documented incidents; request by the HRC to the Police Department to review their existing policies; and HRC concerns with unsupervised officers in the field where individual officers are required to make judgment calls in the absence of a clear cut policy. City Manager Malinen was asked to find out if there was a separate policy for the School Liaison Officer since that officer would be dealing with minors. Chair Delmore said there wasa need for a Citizen's Review Board and suggested a discussion for such a Board be included at a future meeting. Commissioner Singleton volunteered to provide information from the City of St. Paul and their procedure for citizen review. He noted that officer misjudgments were not intentional and were often created by the nature of their jobs and complaints were often generated by citizens upset with government in general. Overview of Police Department Citizens Academy Commissioner Venters reported on his participant in the Police Citizens Academy. He said it allowed him to see things from an officer's perspective. Commissioner Venters noted that it was obvious that the Police Officers were aware their number one job to protect the community and its citizens. Commissioner Venters discussed the speakers from the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, Drug Task Force, Ramsey County Sheriff and others, not necessarily from the Roseville Police Department. Commissioner Venters noted that, from the officer perspective, their choice of weapons was a stick or gun, but through tasers they have another option which prevents use of guns and potential death. Commissioner Venters noted that there could be inappropriate use of tasers, but more clearly understood the advantage for officers. Commissioner Venters reviewed examples of his ride along with an officer and his perspective during that night patrol; noting that the officer was less interested in writing tickets than to provide a presence in the community and interact with drivers who were stopped to better determine if DUI's were evident or vehicle stops indicated other issues.
