The Community Commission on Public Safety and Accountability met on January 27 at Olive-Harvey College.At a meeting of the Community Commission on Public Safety and Accountability on Thursday at Olive-Harvey College, interim commissioners said they encountered resistance from police superintendent David Brown in recent goal-setting meetings.
Interim commissioners Beth Brown and Cliff Nellis were responsible for leading the goal-setting process with Superintendent Brown and offering them to the full CCPSA for approval. At Thursday’s meeting, Nellis told the audience of about 60 people that while negotiations with the superintendent ultimately ended “on a positive note” that morning, the previous two months had been difficult.Interim commissioner Brown said the CCPSA first received Superintendent Brown’s proposed goals on December 1.
“Nearly 80 percent of the goals we submitted for consideration were stricken with no comment other than we had no legal authority to be setting them,” interim commissioner Brown said. “We had reached an impasse in our collaboration.” In remarks delivered at the meeting, Superintendent Brown claimed that the responsibility for the impasse lay with the City’s Law Department. “I want to express that we fully accept the set goals. But I also want to add that we were not inconsistent with the [ECPS] ordinance and consent decree—”from the audience, before walking out of the meeting with a few others.
CCPSA interim commissioner Anthony Driver went off-script to talk about CPD’s gang database. | Jim Daley “For the last four months, we have been . . . committing a large majority of our time fighting against the resurrection of a racist gang database that no one can coherently or intelligently speak to and tell me how it makes our city safe,” Driver said. He noted that he was recently robbed at gunpoint and that CPD was slow to respond, and said he felt that was in part because the department is focusing on the wrong issues. “The gang database as we know it is a racist policy.
