TASK 51 – COMPLIANCE AUDITS

STIPULATION

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties that Section XIV, B, 

(Task 51) is hereby amended to allow for better coordination of and timing of the audits 

conducted by the Independent Monitoring Team and the City’s Office of Inspector General 

in the six subject areas required by the Negotiated Settlement Agreement. 

Section XIV, B. (Task 51), “Compliance Audits and Integrity Tests” shall read 

as follows: 

 Compliance Audits and Integrity Tests

Upon implementation of policies and procedures pursuant to this Agreement, 

OPD shall conduct audits of the following areas: 

1. Arrest and offense reports, and follow-up investigation reports, including, 

but not limited to, arrests for narcotics-related possessory offenses not 

discovered in the course of a search pursuant to arrest for other crimes; 

2. Use of force incident reports and use of force investigations; 

3. Complaint processing and investigation, to include but not limited to 

timeliness and quality; 

4. Mobile Data Terminal traffic; 

5. Personnel evaluations; 

6. Citizen accessibility to the complaint process and the availability of 

complaint forms; 

The review of documents shall entail, at a minimum, a review for completeness 

of the information contained, and an examination for inappropriate “boilerplate” 

language, inconsistent information, or lack of articulation of the legal basis for the 

applicable action.

STIPULATION AND ORDER RE: C00-4599 TEH (JL) 

TASK 51 – COMPLIANCE AUDITS 

- 3 - 

OPD shall conduct audits of the identified areas annually, unless the timing of 

an IMT audit of the same area makes an OIG audit redundant or unnecessary. 

If the OIG determines an audit of any of the six areas to be redundant or 

unnecessary, an audit of another area outlined in this Agreement may be 

substituted that would result in identifying and correcting other pressing 

compliance issues. The OIG shall notify the IMT and determine due dates for 

substitute audits. 

Audit methodology should include random and stratified sampling, where 

appropriate.

The results of audits conducted pursuant to this paragraph shall be included 

in OPD’s semi-annual compliance reports.
