Community Engagement in the Reform Process Clause Samples

Community Engagement in the Reform Process. The Parties agree that community input is essential throughout the reform process, and they will include mechanisms in the Consent Decree to receive that input and update the community about the implementation of the Consent Decree. These mechanisms may include written submissions directly to the Independent Monitor and the Parties, periodic public meetings attended by representatives of the Parties and the Independent Monitor, or other mechanisms suggested by the community. The Parties also agree that the input of BPD officers and their representatives is a critical factor to consider in ensuring that the Consent Decree provides officers with the practical guidance, tools, and support they need to effectively and efficiently carry out the Consent Decree’s requirements and enhance safety for both officers and the community they serve. Once a Consent Decree is reached, the Parties commit to engage with community stakeholders, including BPD officers, to ensure a broad understanding of the terms of the Consent Decree. The Consent Decree will not substitute or foreclose other initiatives by the community or the City to promote reform and oversight of, or partnerships with, BPD.
