MCPA Board of Directors Meeting December 15, 2016

MCPA Headquarters, New Brighton, MN

In Attendance: Cari Gerlicher, Dan Hatten, Joel Scharf, Hugo McPhee, Joe Sheeran, Dave Bentrud, Bob Jacobson, Stephanie Revering, Eric Werner, Susan Engel, Rodney Seurer, Andy Skoogman, Mike Matsin, Mike Goldstein, Mike Risvold, & Jeff Tate Meeting Called to Order: 1030 Agenda Additions: None Approval of Agenda: Motion made by Director Hatten and seconded by Past President McPhee; motion passed. Opening Invocation, Chaplain Dan Carlson VP Goldstein stated he could not be here today due to a family emergency. VP Goldstein led the invocation. Treasurer’s Report, Susan Engel/Treasurer Gerlicher See detailed financial report. A month ago we were showing we were above planned, however, this month we have noticed a relic. The magazine is fine in terms of its profit but unfortunate in this month the revenues went up its small amount and it truly is a timing thing. We looked like we were above budget even though we should be below and it does turn out that we are $3,000 below budget. Past President McPhee asked if there was a plan to wean ourselves from the expectations from the foundation. If we are relying on $35000 from the foundation and they are not meeting that goal is there a plan to figure that out? Executive Director Skoogman stated the foundation is meeting that goal. Goal for 2018 is to not have the $35000 in the budget for revenue and anything that can be given to us is a great addition. President Seurer commented that it will be important for the next president to attend the foundation board meetings. One of the items they wanted from us was the need to know what the money will be used for when they reach their goal. VP Goldstein stated one thing to consider with the foundation is that we lose continuity because we change presidents every year so perhaps we have the 3rd VP attend the meetings or a Director so someone is there for more than a year. Susan wanted to point out that the bond fund is doing really well; however, when the stock markets go up, bond funds go down. We are still up but we lost $3500 in November and may continue to see it go down in December. It is not a cash thing but we are not selling it and it is an accounting thing.

Director Risvold commented that investments seem to be more difficult to guess when it comes to budget. Can we represent it more on the budget? Susan stated the portion of the payments that were on the building, the other thing that is known is the cash dividends that go into our account and that are interest income in our budget, and the 3rd piece is interest gains/loss that is budgeted at zero. It goes up and down. Susan Engel presented the financial report and asked for motion to approve: Motion made by Past President McPhee and seconded by Director Bentrud; motion passed. Treasurer Gerlicher presented the bills for October and asked for motion to approve: Motion made by Treasurer Gerlicher and seconded by Director Hatten; motion passed. Secretary’s Report, Stephanie Revering: Minutes from the November 17, 2016 meeting were submitted. Motion to approve made by Secretary Revering and seconded by Treasurer Gerlicher; motion passed. President’s Report, President Rodney Seurer: In Carver County met with Chief Scott Knight and Sheriff Jim Olson. We invited them to our association in Scott County. Met with Stearns County Chiefs Association where they had their legislatures attend and they felt that the body cams were going to come back again in the legislature. Our lobbyist stated he didn’t believe it was going to come back. Stearns County is being innodated with media data practices with regards to the reports. They spent over $110,000 in transcribing and redacting these reports. It was discussed about the data practices act and the cost to the agencies and time and energy of redaction. They also discussed the incident at Crossroads Mall in St. Cloud and have debriefed incident and will be considering more training. Committee Reports:

• Legislative Committee, 3rd VP Jeff Potts Law Enforcement Coalition + POST Meetings update That group got together again since our last board meeting. Nothing has changed. We are meeting with Senator Lymer and Rep. Cornish December 22nd.

Andy wanted to throw an idea out there..take our leadership academy and do distance learning and do it over a month-6 weeks. The instructors go to St Cloud and teach it live and students could either watch it online or go to St. Cloud. ETI Update Director Werner stated they had a meeting last month. Registration has been opened and we added a different tier due to the Wetterling presentation. The main speakers are taken care of and we are having our first podcast. We are in very good shape. Director Hatten has resigned from the committee and thank him for over the 10 years that he served on the committee. Joe commented that we already have 31 registered.

• Communications, Joe Sheeran Winter Magazine: Magazine coming out the first of the year. Q & A with Dr. Soot. 5 tips how to keep out of hot water with regards to HR issues. Presidents report regarding mental health task force. Commissioner Doman talked about the overview of the council and Chief Blair Anderson’s role. Also, Dan Carlson discusses his 10 years as the association chaplain. And New Brighton Public Safety Director Tony Paetcchenik discusses great ideas in policing. And Chief Knight discusses the Ryder Cup.

Peer Support System, Bob Jacobson/Carlson/VP Goldstein IACP is impressed with what we are doing so they want an article for their magazine and should be in the January addition. It gives people a model to go by and other states could possibly use it. Executive Director’s Report, Andy Skoogman Drug Take Back letter response: They did respond to us. DEA issues remain for a number of the pharmacies. They did ask for our support to allow pharmacists to prescribe narcan. Not a lot of strong support for the pharmacies to take the drugs from people. Update on 2017 ETI sponsorships + sales: Last month we are at $46,000 now we are at $53,000. This does exceed lasts years revenue and does surpass our 2017 goal. 85 exhibit booths have been sold. Approval of facilitator contract for 2017 Strategic Planning session + location of session: A proposal from Kathy Permy was submitted. Kathy knows our organization and has worked with us a long time. Yet, at the same time, another facilitator was mentioned as well. They will provide a proposal by the end of the year. If we want to go with Kathy we can afford to do that. Do we want to wait another month or do we just go with Kathy? President Seurer commented that he was a part of the last strategic session and she was very good to work with. The locations for the session we looked at Breezy Point, Grandview, and Rutgers. They will make the choice based on price.

Update and discussion on 2017 Critical Issues Forums: Nothing new other than we do have with board members participation we have about 34 people we just have to solidify our topics and make that decision by the next board meeting. Regional Rep meeting (January 11, 2017): We are piggybacking the regional rep meeting and peer support meeting together. Old Business Firstnet: Director Risvold stated it had been narrowed down to 2 companies. Since then they eliminated to one and that other company is now suing FirstNet. It appears thru media reports that AT & T is the partner with FirstNet. It now appears the announcement will be in February. New Business None. Next meeting January 19, 2017 at 10:30 AM in New Brighton. Meeting Adjourned, 12:30 pm:

Bob Jacobson, Professional Development Director, Minnesota Chiefs of PoliceAssociation

Being in the middle of a TV-style gun battle as a lawenforcement officer is rare—and even rarer when you are achief. Nonetheless, Chief Tim Fournier of New Hope, Minnesota,found himself in the thick of one when a gunman opened fire ina crowded city hall following a swearing-in ceremony, injuringtwo police officers. In the days that followed, Chief Fournier wasthere for his troops. Surrounding departments were thereoperationally to take calls and fill in for officers who neededtime off or who were placed on post-shooting mandated leave.However, there was no formalized system to guide ChiefFournier through this incident on a personal level: no checklistin place to see if he needed anything; no peer to talk to; noteven someone to drive him around so he could help managethe actual incident, while also focusing on his agency’s day-to-day operations.

From: Lindsay Turner [email protected]: Policing data project invitation

Date: January 11, 2017 at 1:41 PMTo: [email protected]

Good afternoon Mr. Skoogman, Lindsay Turner from Wilder Research, following up on the voicemail I just left. I hope thisfinds you well. I’m reaching out to invite you to a law enforcement stakeholder meetingabout a policing data projected that we’re getting off the ground. As you may know, Wilder Research conducts studies, provides data, tracks trends, andconvenes community leaders to work together to improve the quality of life for all in ourregion and state. Recent events in our state and around the nation have drawn attentionto how the police and public interact, in some cases with life and death implications.Public officials, community advocates, police departments, and others seek to improvepolicing and police-community relationships, but often lack the means to ground theirdiscussion, planning, and action in a sound, complete, and unbiased understanding ofwhat’s really happening. Credible, current, accessible data are a critical part of decision-making as law enforcement, civic, business, and social sectors strive to work in concertto create safe and just communities. To that end, our immediate next step is to convene separate meetings with lawenforcement professionals and community leaders to gather feedback about whether andhow a community law enforcement data project could benefit us all. We envision bringinglaw enforcement and community together in the future. The attached concept paperelaborates the context and our vision. Your participation in the meeting of law enforcement professionals will help us todetermine whether and how a collaborative law enforcement data initiative could benefitall of us. We are looking to meet at Wilder (451 N Lexington Parkway) on 1/25/2017 from8:30 – 10:00am. If you are interested in joining the conversation, please RSVP to me at651-280-2672 or [email protected]. We can also make this meeting available viaGoToMeeting, so you can join virtually, and are happy to connect outside of this meetingas well; if those options works better for you, just let us know. We hope to hear from you by January 20th so we can confirm the room number andagenda. Thanks, and have a great day! Lindsay Turner, J.D.Research AssistantWilder Research | Amherst H.

Policing Data Project…are.pdf

Preliminary proposal to improve the use of data to inform decisions about policing in Minnesota

The problem: Across the U.S. and here in Minnesota, there is increased public attention on policing and police-community relations, particularly within urban communities of color. While community members call for increased police transparency and responsiveness, police departments recognize the need for better data to manage operations, train officers, and achieve better outcomes. Recently, local jurisdictions began tracking basic demographics of those involved in traffic stops1, and some now employ early intervention and peer intervention systems designed to identify and eliminate behaviors predictive of biased policing2. However, data is not collected in a standardized way, resulting in inability to compare across jurisdictions, and perceived lack of transparency and responsiveness to community persists.

The needs:

1. More consistent, accurate, current, and relevant data on all police jurisdictions in Minnesota 2. More consistent, accurate, current, and relevant data on police officers in Minnesota at a jurisdiction-level, to

include background, training, performance, critical incidents / complaints, and discipline3 3. Increased capacity and better tools to use these data for decision-making regarding public policy, department-

wide management, and officer-level supervision, training, and performance improvement

Potential response: Wilder Research is interested in bringing together community, police, and other relevant stakeholders to address these needs, and will consider all relevant suggestions. Initial potential responses include:

1. Enhance available data. a. Wilder Research could build off our experience with Minnesota Compass (mncompass.org), convening a

diverse advisory group to help identify a set of “key measures” relating to policing / police-community relations, and then display these data through a website with accessible and interactive graphs and charts. The site would likely include existing data, but could also feature newly created data gathering systems or processes. This would allow police departments, community members and policy-makers to easily access information about policing in communities throughout Minnesota.

b. Wilder Research could develop a standardized data tracking system, allowing multiple jurisdictions to report their data, retrieve necessary reports, and benchmark against similar jurisdictions. Wilder Research would work carefully with community and police stakeholders to ensure appropriate data dissemination mechanisms.

2. Put this data to good use. a. Wilder Research could consult with police departments, using their data profiles to conduct needs

assessments and make appropriate recommendations to drive improvements in police effectiveness, efficiency, training, supervision, procedural justice, accountability, and community relations. With this sound base of information, police departments will be able to more effectively manage their risks and improve transparency, while community members and advocates, as well as policy-makers, decision-makers, and funders will have access to accurate, relevant information to help us all improve policing practices in Minnesota.

b. Wilder Research could consult with Police Community Oversight Boards and other advocacy groups to assist them in using data for community advocacy and transparency.

Ultimate goals: We hope this project will contribute to…

1. A reduction in the use of excessive force by police officers and increased accountability for those who do use force. Similarly, we hope this work would result in increased constitutionality of policing practices, specifically a reduction in unconstitutional search and seizure.

2. An increase in equity in police interactions with individuals based on their race/ethnicity, income, area of residence, etc. and a reduction in racial bias in policing. (This will also involve identifying definitions of “equity” and “racial bias” that most stakeholders can agree to.)

3. An increase in the use of best practices in hiring, supervision, training, performance management, and accountability among police officers and supervisors individually and for departments as a whole.

4. An increase in access to and use of data to inform decisions about policing in Minnesota.

Next steps: We are in the process of reviewing literature and identifying sources of existing data on policing in Minnesota.

We are also refining our ideas through discussions with key stakeholders who represent multiple perspectives on this issue in Minnesota. Our immediate next step is to continue meeting individually and in small groups with interested law enforcement representatives as well as various community advocacy groups and other interested stakeholders. During these conversations, we will seek feedback to refine our vision and plan for if and how to obtain and make available data on policing, as well as, importantly, WHAT data should be collected, compiled, and/or reported. We hope to have many of these initial conversations completed in early 2017.

We may also involve the Minnesota Compass (mncompass.org) Public Safety Technical Advisory Group, which will convene in 2017, to determine if and how this initiative may be related to the Compass work and platform.

Last, we will pursue any and all funding opportunities including through the MN Legislature, an appropriation from the Governor, a special project through a state or local agency, and/or private funders. Ideas (or donations) are welcome!

Dear Colleague, Yesterday I informed my Board that I would be retiring on June 1. Much thought went into this decision but I know it is right for me and for the association. This notice allows me to remain for the legislative session as well as to assist in the selection of my successor and help in their transition. It has been said that a person must know “when it is time” and it is that time. I have had a 39 year run with the MPPOA as a member, board member and its leader. It has also been said "Respect the journey, but know when to let go". I have had an unwavering commitment to the association and its membership and it won’t end because I’m no longer in its employ. My greatest honor has been to be an advocate for the working cop. I am very proud of what has been accomplished, both for my members and the association, and I leave an organization that is on solid foundation with a sterling reputation and a very bright future. A search committee from the Board of Directors has been appointed and an executive search professional has been hired to aid in the selection of my replacement. Thank you for being a part of my career. Sincerely, Dennis J.
