Backerouud: The police department often comes into possession of cash with no identifiable owner and/or cash, which was impounded under suspicious circumstances and ultimately abandoned. Historically, after two or more yeazs, the Department proposes the conversion of the unclaimed funds to the police department budget for use on critical un-budgeted purchases. For the last several years, the City has experienced an increase in the number of police liability cases with unfavorable judgments and/or settlements. Several strategies have been identified to reduce the City's liability in these types of cases. The strategies involve: • Purchase of software to revise all Department policies and develop daily computer based training lessons to reinforce the new policies. • Purchase of a computer based system to modernize use of force reports, citizen complaints, and internal investigations. • Fund the services of a legal consultant to be retained by the City Attorney's Office to identify and recommend areas to reduce liability and to consult in civil rights litigation. • Renew investment in relevant training for all employees in use of force, supervision, management development, and customer service. • Purchase of a computer based firearms simulation training unit to provide realistic scenario based training to increase decision-making effectiveness. If funding is approved, the purchases will be individually made in the areas outlined above in Updated: 2/16Y2012 by Diane C.
