OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF POLICE NOTICE 14.5 January 28, 2014 TO: All Department Personnel FROM: Chief of Police SUBJECT: BIASED POLICING COMPLAINT MEDIATION PROGRAM On January 1, 2014, the Department, in conjunction with the City Attorney's Office-Dispute Resolution Program, launched the Biased Policing Complaint Mediation Program, a 36-month pilot. The purpose of this program is to mediate select complaints of Biased Policing as an alternative to the traditional, adversary-oriented investigation procedure.

Mediation is another tool in our arsenal to address the very difficult and frequently contentious issue of Biased Policing. Biased Policing and Discourtesy complaints will be eligible for the pilot program. Biased Policing complaints with other allegations of minor misconduct may also be considered. Complaints closed with a "Mediated" disposition are not displayed on TEAMS Reports used for monitoring, performance review, promotion, paygrade advancement, final selection, transfer, disciplinary review, Risk Management Executive Committee profiles or Risk Management Information System thresholds. For the specifics of the program, employees will receive eLearning training thorough the Learning Management System and may view the Biased Policing Complaint Mediation Program I mplementation Plan, which has been posted on the Professional Standards Bureau webpage.
