Police Review Board APD INTERVIEW PANELS Individual PRB members had the opportunity to participate in panel interviews with finalists for high- ranking positions in APD's leadership team. This constituted a new and unique way for the PRB to represent the public's perspective in shaping APD at the supervisory level. ROLL OUTS Another critical function of the Board is to observe the scene of officer -involved shootings or use of force incidents so that the board members can gain a better understanding of the conditions surrounding officer involved shootings or use of force incidents. Board members receive real-time notification on major incidents. The Chair or designee is authorized to visit the location of incidents that result in the involvement of APD's Major Incident Response Team (MIRT) who handle the officer -involved shootings or use of force incidents They also receive private briefings by MIRT when a critical incident occurs which may include a review of body worn camera footage. This authorization from APD and the City is ground breaking; we are aware of no other citizen review board in the country that has the authorization to rollout to critical incidents and receive real-time briefings. Board members were called out and responded to the scene of the below events: • July 21, 2018: fatal officer -involved shooting (former Member Celosse) • March 9, 2019: traffic collision with injury involving APD employee (Member Webb) • March 15, 201 9: officer -involved shooting with injury (Member VanKirk) • April 4, 2019: fatal officer -involved shooting (Member Wolfgramm) COMMUNITY OUTREACH The Board is required to conduct regular community engagement and outreach, with each member required to conduct outreach in their respective district to raise awareness of the PRB, including meeting with the Council Member representing the district. Members are encouraged to attend community events, including district community meetings on a regular basis. Board members attended the meetings and events below: • August 7, 201 8: National Night Out (Member Webb) • September 17, 2018: Planning Commission Meeting (Member Wagner) • October 201 8: District 5 & 6 Community Meetings (Member Webb) • February 2019: Coffee with a Cop (Member Webb) • February 13, 2019: District 4 Community Meeting (Member Wagner) • April 2019: Tacos with a Cop (Member Webb, Member Gomez) • May 8, 2019: Critical Incident Community Briefing (Member VanKirk, Member Wagner) • August 6, 2019: National Night Out (Member Gomez) To support the Board's community outreach efforts, a brochure with general information on PRB was created for members to pass out while attending events.
