The Commission on Police Practices sent a memo to the San Diego Police Department with various recommendations
The Commission on Police Practices recently recommended changes to the San Diego Police Department’s body-worn camera protocol and its disciplinary process in an effort the group indicated would improve how the department handles investigations into officers’ actions.
The Commission on Police Practices reviews investigations into complaints against officers, shootings by police officers and deaths of people in-custody. Voters in 2020 approved a change that will give the commission the power to carry out its own investigations, but the process to change the structure is ongoing.
In an interview, Hilpert said there was no specific issue that led to the recommendation, but he added that he believes audio from the buffer period could help commissioners when they review investigations. It was unclear if the changes would result in additional expenses for the San Diego Police Department, which pays a contactor, Axon, to store body-worn camera footage. There was no additional cost for the Oakland-based BART Police Department, according to Deputy Chief Kevin Franklin, who said the agency’s contract with Axon allows storage of an unlimited amount of data at a set price.
San Diego’s Commission on Police Practices also suggested a change to the Police Department’s discipline process. According to the memo from the commission, the department doesn’t have a formal system in place to track whether officers have been disciplined for policy violations or whether supervisors have written memos to document the discipline, as required.
The commission recommended that the department require supervisors to draft a memo within 14 days of disciplining an officer.
