H
OF YOU FOR BEING PART OF THIS
IMPORTANT COMMISSIONS WORK AND
I'D WANT TO SAY HOW GRATEFUL I
AM TO MAYOR DEAN AND JUDGE
DUNCAN'S FOR THEIR LEADERSHIP.
PUBLIC SAFETY IS GOVERNMENT'S
FIRST RESPONSIBILITY. EVERYONE
DESERVES TO BE SAFE. EVERY PART
OF OUR COMMUNITY SHOULD TRUST
THE POLICE. TO HELP KEEP THEM
SAFE. BUT AS WE ALL KNOW NOT
EVERYBODY DOES WE NEED EQUAL
AND VERY HIGH LEVELS OF TRUST
AND SATISFACTION. WITH POLICE
THROUGHOUT OUR COMMUNITY. NO
NATIONAL RESIDENCE AND THAT
INCLUDES OUR BLACK AND BROWN
COMMUNITIES DO WANT POLICE
PROTECTION WHEN I TALK TO
PEOPLE THEY OFTEN TELL ME THEY
WANT MORE POLICE OFFICERS IN
THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD NOT YOUR-
BUT THAT PRESENTS MUST OF
COURSE COME WITH RESPECT. AND
FAIR TREATMENT. YOU ARE HERE AS
PART OF THIS COMMISSION TO HELP
REIMAGINE PUBLIC SAFETY AND
FIND WAYS TO BUILD PARTNERSHIPS
AND TRUST. YOUR TASK IS TO
PRESENT A UNIFYING VISION FOR
HOW PUBLIC SAFETY CAN BEST
SERVE ALL OF OUR COMMUNITY. TO
HELP NASHVILLE BE A CITY THAT
WORKS FOR EVERYONE. NOW LAST
YEAR METRO POLICE OFFICERS HAD
EIGHT HUNDRED AND NINE THOUSAND

RESIDENTS. AND POLICING IS
OFTEN A DANGEROUS JOB MNPD

SEVENTY GUNS FROM THE STREET

INJURED OR KILLED. LAST YEAR
TWO PEOPLE WERE SHOT BY POLICE
ONE PERSON WAS SHOT ON BROADWAY
AFTER STRIKING AN OFFICER WITH
HIS CAR. A USE OF FORCE BOARD
WHICH INCLUDED METRO NASHVILLE
COMMUNITY OVERSIGHT DIRECTOR
JOEL FEATURED. RULES THAT
SHOOTING IN POLICY ANOTHER
SHOOTING WAS RULED OUT OF
POLICY AND THAT OFFICER
RESULTING. YOU KNOW EACH OF
LAST YEAR'S TWO HUNDRED AND
NINETY NINE INSTANCES OF USE OF
FORCE MUST BE JUSTIFIABLE AND
HELD ACCOUNTABLE THROUGH A
CAREFUL INDEPENDENT PROCESS.
THE COMMUNITY OVERSIGHT BOARD
EXISTS AS AN INDEPENDENT BODY
TO PROVIDE A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
TO MAKE SURE THAT METRO IS
NEVER ENGAGING IN MISUSE OF
FORCE. THE C. O. B.'S WORK IS
ONGOING AND PERMANENT THEY'RE
INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF POTENTIAL
POLICE MISCONDUCT. IS AN
ESSENTIAL TOOL FOR
ACCOUNTABILITY. AND SOMETHING
THAT OUR RESIDENTS HAVE
INSISTED ON BY A WIDE MARGIN.
OUR RESIDENTS ALSO NEED AND
EXPECT TO BE SAFE AND DESERVE
THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF SERVICE.
NOW OVER THE NEXT THREE MONTHS

INTRODUCE DIRECTOR FEATURED
THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING
EVERYONE I AM APPRECIATIVE OF
THE MAYOR FOR ALLOWING ME THE
OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THE
COMMISSION TODAY FOR THOSE OF
YOU WHO DON'T KNOW ME I AM
STILL FEATURED THE EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR OF THE COMMUNITY
OVERSIGHT BOARD AND THE METRO
NASHVILLE COMMUNITY OVERSIGHT
STAFF. SO A LITTLE BACKGROUND
ABOUT ME I SPENT OVER TWENTY
FIVE YEARS WORKING IN THE
CRIMINAL JUSTICE FIELD MY
ENTIRE CAREER HAS BEEN ONE OF
SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY I HAVE
POLICING PROBATION PAROLE AND
INVESTIGATIVE EXPERIENCE. AS
WELL AS WORKING AS A CJ
INSTRUCTOR AT A SMALL COLLEGE
HERE IN NASHVILLE. I HAVE
WORKED EXTENSIVELY WITH THE
NASHVILLE CRIMINAL JUSTICE
SYSTEM INCLUDING JUDGES AND
PUBLIC DEFENDERS. AND I'VE
SPENT MANY YEARS TRAINING
OTHERS IN THE FIELD OF CRIMINAL
INVESTIGATIONS. I HAVE WORKED
WITH MANY PEOPLE IN THIS CITY
WHO ARE EXPERIENCING POVERTY.
ADDICTION HOMELESSNESS DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE MENTAL HEALTH IN RE
ENTRY ISSUES AND LOOKING AT
POSSIBLE DEATH SENTENCES. I
CALL NASHVILLE HOME AND I AM
PROUD OF THE WORK THAT I HAVE
DONE FOR THIS COMMUNITY AND
WHAT I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED WITH
THE COMMUNITY OVERSIGHT BOARD.
BUT ENOUGH ABOUT ME. WE ARE
HERE TODAY TO ADDRESS WHAT IS
HAPPENING IN THIS CITY AND
CITIES ACROSS THE NATION WE
KNOW WHY WE ARE HERE TODAY WE
ARE HERE BECAUSE THERE IS A
CRISIS IN POLICING. WE ALL HAVE
SEEN THE VIDEO OF MR GEORGE
FLOORED FLOYD TAKEN HIS LAST
BREATH AS A UNIFORMED OFFICER
PLACE DISNEY ON MISTER FLOYD
SNACK I'M SURE WE ALL FELT THE
OUTRAGE WHEN WE SAW THAT MURDER
HAPPENED RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES
AND THAT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN THE
FIRST TIME THAT YOU WERE
EXPOSED TO THAT TYPE OF
LINGERING TRAUMA VIOLENCE BEING
STREAMED ACROSS. THE TELEVISION
SCREEN NASHVILLE IS NOT EXAM
FROM THE OCCURRING HERE BECAUSE
IT HAS HAPPENED MAYBE NOT
EXACTLY LIKE GEORGE FLOYD OR
BRIANNA TAYLOR BUT DEATH OF A
COMMUNITY MEMBER BY IN IN PD
HAS OCCURRED AND BECAUSE OF
THAT TYPE OF FORCE AND A HOST
OF MANY OTHER CHALLENGES THAT
HAS PLAGUED OUR CITY'S POLICE
DEPARTMENT. YOUR HERE TO MNPD
POLICING PRACTICES YOU ARE HERE
TO DEAL WITH POLICING CULTURE
THAT A POLICING CULTURE THAT
MUST CHANGE A CULTURE THAT HAS
STRUCTURAL OPPRESSION AND AT
ITS ROOTS AND WHERE SYSTEMIC
RACISM HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO RUN
ITS COURSE. MNPD HAS MADE
CHANGES IN RECENT MONTHS TO
THEIR USE OF FORCE POLICIES AND
I UNDERSTAND THAT THAT THERE IS
MORE ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT I
APPRECIATE THAT THEY HAVE TAKEN
THIS INITIATIVE AND WE ARE ON
BOARD TO HELP THEM TRANSFORM
AND MAKE SUSTAINABLE SHIPS. BUT
NOT ONLY A SHIFT IN THE
STRUCTURE AND CULTURE BUT ALSO
A SHIFT IN THE MINDSET MY HOPE
IS THAT THEY AREREADY TO
EMBRACE THIS TRANSFORMATION.
I'M SURE SOME OF YOU WILL ASK
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN OR HOW DOES
IT LOOK WELL LET ME TELL YOU.
THAT MEANS SIGNIFICANT REFER.
MUST HAPPEN AT THE POLICY
LEVEL. THAT ALSO MEANS THAT WE
MUST LOOK AT THEIR POLICING AND
DISCIPLINARY PRACTICES THERE.
OF COMPETENCY THEIR ENGAGEMENT
WITH THE COMMUNITY AND THEIR
COMMITMENT TO ACCOUNTABILITY
AND TRANSPARENCY. WHAT THAT
MEANS IS THAT WE CAN'T CONTINUE
CONTRADICTING OURSELVES WE NOW
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO
SOMETHING DIFFERENT SOMETHING
NEW. AND THAT IS REIMAGINING
POLICING THROUGH THE LENS OF
EQUITY. WE CAN VIEW POLICING
HOLISTICALLY. AND COMMUNITY
DRIVEN INSTEAD OF TRAINING ONLY
AS A PARAMILITARY ORGANIZATION
THAT RELIES HEAVILY ON BEING
PUNITIVE. WE MUST THINK OF WAYS
OF RESTORATION AND STOP VIEWING
OUR COMUNITY MEMBERS AS
ENEMIES AND WE MUST ERADICATE
BIAS BASED POLICING AND PUT A
STOP TO THIS US VERSUS THEM
MENTALITY. IN MPD HAS TO LISTEN
TO OUR COMMUNITIES ESPECIALLY
THOSE THAT ARE MARGINALIZED AND
DISENFRANCHISED. THEY HAVE TO
HAVE EMPATHY AND SINCERITY THEY
HAVE TO HEAR THE RESIDENTS AND
SHIPPED FROM THE MINDSET OF WAR
YEARS TO BEING PARTNERS.
THERE'S NO ROOM FOR COLDNESS
AND CALLOUSNESS WHEN BUILDING
RELATIONSHIPS AS PARTNERS OR
GUARDIANS. WE WANT OUR NATIONAL
POLICE PROFESSIONALS TO SEE US
HEAR US PROTECT US AND SERVE
US. BACK US IS YOU IS EVERYONE
EQUALLY NO MATTER WHAT THEIR
CONDITION NO MATTER WHERE THEY
LIVE AND NO MATTER THEIR COLOR
OR THEIR SKIN THEY LIVE IN. YOU
ARE HERE TODAY BECAUSE EACH OF
YOU HAVE A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE
THAT THE MAYOR FEELS COULD
SHAPE AND PUT IN A P. D.'S
POLICING POLICIES. MY CHARGE TO
YOU IS TO LISTEN TO ONE ANOTHER
FOR THOSE OF YOU WITH
TREMENDOUS CRIMINAL JUSTICE
BACKGROUNDS. TAKE THE TIME TO
HEAR FROM THOSE WHO MAY HAVE
LIVED EXPERIENCES. AND
PERSPECTIVES THAT ARE DIFFERENT
FROM YOURS. YOU ARE HERE TODAY
TO ASSIST WITH MAKING CHANGES
THAT ARE INTENTIONAL IN PACKED
FULL AND WILL BE CENTRAL TO
TAKING OUR METRO NASHVILLE
POLICE DEPARTMENT INTO THE
TWENTY FIRST CENTURY. AND BEING
ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY.
SO IN CLOSING I WOULD CERTAINLY
BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T MENTION
THAT OVER ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND
NASHVILLIANS VOTED TO HAVE A
COMMUNITY OVERSIGHT BOARD. AND
IT IS IN THAT SPIRIT OF
COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP AND
ENGAGEMENT THAT MYSELF AND THE
COB STAFF WILL BE AVAILABLE TO
ASSIST YOU WITH POLICY
QUESTIONS RESEARCH AND DATA.
AND HERE TO BE AN INDEPENDENT
RESOURCE TO YOU FOR ANYTHING
THAT MAY HELP YOU REACH YOUR
EXPECTED OUTCOMES SO LESS
MAXIMIZE THIS MOMENT. I WILL
END WITH ONE OF MY FAVORITE
QUOTES BY DR KING. IN HOPES
THAT IT WILL RESONATE WITH YOU
AS IT HAS RESONATED WITH ME.
THERE COMES A TIME WHEN ONE
MUST TAKE A POSITION THAT IS
NEITHER SAFE. NOR POLITIC. NOR
POPULAR BUT HE MUST MAKE IT HE
MUST TAKE IT BECAUSE HIS
CONSCIENCE TELLS HIM IT IS
RIGHT. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR
TIME AND I JUST WANNA TAKE A
SECOND TO ACKNOWLEDGE- THE
CHAIR OF THE COB ASHLEY DAVIS
ON THIS COMMISSION AS WELL AS
MY TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY
UNDERGRADUATE PROFESSOR MISTER
LARRY WOODS IT WAS PROFESSOR
WOODS WHO INSPIRED ME TO
CONTINUE WORKING IN THE
CRIMINAL JUSTICE FIELD. AND
GAVE ME A PASSION TO PURSUE AN
UNDERSTANDING OF JUSTICE THANK
YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND I'LL
INTRODUCE A DEPUTY CHIEF AND
INTERIM CHIEF. DRAKE. THANK YOU
TO- DIRECTOR FEATURED FOOT
INTRODUCTION AND YOUR- REMARKS.
THANK YOU TO MEMBERS OF THE
POLICE COMMISSION WHO HAVE
AGREED TO BE PART. IN SUCH AN
IMPORTANT PANEL THAT WOULD HELP
ENSURE OUR POLICIES AND
PRACTICES MAKE US AMERICA'S
SAFEST CITY. IN THE TWENTY
FIRST CENTURY. THIS IS
SOMETHING WE TAKE VERY
SERIOUSLY AND ARE EAGER TO HEAR
YOUR REVIEW OF OUR POLICIES AND
PROCEDURES WHEN YOUR WORK IS
COMPLETED. AS MAYOR COOPER
STATED REIMAGINING HOW NATIONAL
CAN BUILD TRUST AND ENHANCE
COMMUNITY SAFETY IS A VISION
THAT I ALSO HAVE THIS WILL.
RECENTLY I HAVEN'T GOT THE GUN
THE TESTS A REASSIGNMENT
PROACTIVE FLICK SOON IS TO
COMMUNICATE MAINTAINS. SIX
MEMBERS WERE OFFICERS ASSIGNED
TO MAKE TRAFFIC STOPS AND
CONDUCT ENFORCEMENT STRATEGIES
IN HIGH CRIME AREAS.
COMMUNICATIONTEAMS AIM TO MAKE
CONNECTIONS THROUGH OUR
COMMUNITY ENDEAVORS IN THOSE
SAME AT RISK NEIGHBORHOODS. OUR
GOAL WAS TO REIMAGINE HOW WE
WORK WITH COMMUNITIES TUTORING
PLAN COMMUNITY EVENTS AND X.
CETERA. ALL EIGHT AND CONNECTED
WITH COMMUNITIES AND HAVE GREAT
REPORT COMMUNITIES WHERE THEY
ARE NEEDED MOST. AGAIN THOSE
YOU I'VE NOT MET AN INTERNAL
KEITH JOHN DRAKE I'VE BEEN WITH
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR
THIRTY TWO YEARS AND I AM A
RESOURCE FOR YOU. I AM
PERSONALLY LOOKING FOR IT TO
HAPPEN HOWEVER I CAN TO ENSURE
SUCCESS OF NOT ONLY THIS
COMMISSION BUT ALSO TO PUT A
POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR YEARS TO
COME. WE ARE PROUD OF OUR
MERITORIOUS ACCREDITATION
THROUGH CALEA. AT THE GOLD
STANDARD A POLICE DEPARTMENT
TRAINING ACADEMY AND
COMMUNICATIONS. A SEPARATE
LIQUIDATED R. AND R'S INSPECTED
EVERY THREE YEARS TO ENSURE WE
ARE MEETING HUNDREDS OF
PRESCRIBED NATIONAL STANDARDS
ONLY 10% OF AGENCIES IN THE
COUNTRY HAVE BETTER CREDIT HELP
DESK ACCREDITATION. WITH THAT
SAID WE WELCOME EVOLUTION AND
INNOVATION IN THE TWENTY FIRST
CENTURY AND THAT'S WHAT I FEEL
YOU ON THIS PANEL WILL HELP
WITH. I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT
WE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR WAYS
TO DO BETTER AND BE BETTER AT
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. WE WANT
TO ALSO ASSIST THE COMMUNITY
OVERSIGHT BOARD AND ITS REQUEST
A REVIEW OF OUR POLICIES. AND
ITS WORK TO ASSESS COMPLAINTS.
AS VOTED ON BY NASHVILLIANS IN
TWENTY EIGHTEEN. I'M EXCITED
ABOUT A POLICE DEPARTMENTS
CONTINUED EVOLUTION AND I HOPE
THAT THEY DO JOIN ME AND THAT
EXCITEMENT. AGAIN A POLICE
DEPARTMENT WOULD BE AVAILABLE
AND OPEN TO SHARING ANY
INFORMATION YOU NEED INCLUDING
HAVING PERSONNEL PRESENT
MATERIALS AND ANSWER QUESTIONS
WHEN REQUESTED. BEFORE I
CONCLUDE I WANT TO TOUCH
BRIEFLY ON USE OF FORCE WE
TRAIN EXTENSIVELY IN THIS AREA.
YOU WILL FIND THAT A USE OF
FORCE CONTINUED TO DANCE WITH
OFFICIAL PRESENCE VERBAL
COMMANDS AND ESCALATES WOULD BE
ESCALATES TO ONLY THE AMOUNT OF
FORCE REASONABLY NECESSARY TO
EFFECT ON THE WRIST. I TRAIN
AND ALSO INCLUDES VERBAL JUDO
AS THE ESCALATION AS WELL AS
OTHER LESS LETHAL OPTIONS. WE
HAVE BAND JOE COLE'S HELP BY
POLICY A DUTY TO INTERVENE. TO
STOP ANY FORCED NOT REQUIRED
AND A DUTY TO REPORT ANY USES
OR MISUSES OF FORCE. USES A
FOUR STAR REVIEW TO A SERGEANT
LIEUTENANT CAPTAIN COMMANDER
DEPUTY CHIEF FIELD SUPERVISOR
CHIEF OF POLICE AND THE
VIOLATIONS OCCUR WE TAKE THIS
MATTER ACTION IMMEDIATELY. ALL
OFFICER INVOLVED SHOOTINGS
RESULTED IN DEATH FOR
INVESTIGATED BUT INVESTIGATED
BY THE TENNESSEE BUREAU OF
INVESTIGATION THEN A FORCE
REVIEW BOARD IS CONVENE. TO
DETERMINE IF IT ALSO INVOLVES
SHOOTING WAS WITHIN POLICY. THE
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE
COMMITTEE OVERSIGHT BOARD IS A
MEMBER OF THAT REVIEW BOARD.
THERE ARE SEVERAL LAYERS IN AN
EFFORT TO HELP THE ROAR AND
REVIEW OF USE OF FORCE
INCIDENTS. I BELIEVE IN WELL
DONE IS BETTER THAN WELL SAID
AND WE WELCOME YOUR FINAL
REPORT. THANK YOU AND I'M SURE
I WILL BE TALKING AT LEAST SOME
OF YOU- OUT AS YOU CONDUCT YOUR
WORK NOW I WOULD LIKE TO
INTRODUCE- FORMER MAYOR KARL
DEAN. FIRST LET ME ASK THANK
EVERYBODY FOR BEING HERE TODAY
I'M CARL DEAN AND I'M ONE OF
THE TWO CO CHAIRS OF THE POLICE
POLICY COMMISSION- MY CO CHAIR
JUDGE DICKENS IS RECOVERING
FROM A MEDICAL PROCEDURE. SO I
WILL START US OFF THIS MORNING-
I FIRST WANT TO THANK MAYOR
COOPER FOR CREATING THIS GROUP-
I THINK IT'S VERY. A VERY GOOD
THING THAT THE COMMUNITY IS
BEING ASKED TO PARTICIPATE AND
TO- FIND WAYS IN WHICH OUR
POLICE DEPARTMENT CAN IMPROVE.
AND I GUESS I WANT TO STRESS
THAT IT IS OUR POLICE
DEPARTMENT AND THIS COMMISSION
I THINK IS VERY APPROPRIATE. AS
WE GET STARTED. I WANT TO
REMIND EVERYONE THAT THIS
MEETING AND ALL OF OUR
MEETINGS- WILL BE TAPED. FULL
COMMISSION MEETINGS SUCH AS
THIS ONE WILL BE TELEVISED.
COMMITTEE MEETINGS WILL BE
RECORDED BUT NOT TELEVISED. AND
I JUST ASK YOU TO KEEP THAT IN
MIND AS WE MOVE FORWARD. I'M
GONNA TALK A LITTLE BIT TODAY
ABOUT PROCESS THEN I WANT TO
GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO INTRODUCE
YOURSELF TALK TO EACH OTHER.
AND MAKE SOME BRIEF REMARKS-
METRO I. TS IS GONNA MAKE YOU

TEAM TO IDENTIFY A COMMITTEE
ASSIGNMENT FOR YOU WE WILL BE
CONSIDERING YOUR INTERESTS AND
EXPERTISE AS WELL AS HOW YOU
CAN HELP THE COMMITTEE DELIVER
GOOD RECOMMENDATIONS. WE WILL
SHARE THESE ASSIGNMENTS WITH
YOU BY MONDAY THE AT THE LATEST.
MOST OF THE WORK WILL BE DONE
IN COMMITTEE MEETINGS THE
COMMITTEES WILL MEET FOR THE
FIRST TIME NEXT WEEK. METRO I.
TS HAS ASKED THAT WE CONSIDER

VERY IMPRESSED BY THE MINUTE BY
THE STAFF THAT IS HELPING US
WITH THIS ENDEAVOR. I'D
ENCOURAGE YOU TO SERIOUSLY
CONSIDER WHAT THEY TELL YOU AND
BEGIN WITH PROCESS AND THEN
SELECT LEADERS. AT THE FIRST
MEETING I'D LIKE YOU TO
CONSIDER CHOOSING A CHAIR IN A
WRITER. BOTH OF THESE ROLES
WILL REQUIRE A LOT OF WORK SO
WHEN CONSIDERING WHO WILL FILL
THOSE POSITIONS MAKE SURE THAT
PERSON HAS THE TIME TO DO IT-
AND IF YOU'RE CONSIDERING THE
POSITION OF WRITER OR OR- MAKE
SURE THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND.
THAT THIS WILL INVOLVE TAKING
NOTES AND AGAIN- SOMETHING THAT
IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR US TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DRAFTING
RECOMMENDATIONS IN THAT
COMMUNITY AND COMMITTEE VIEW
POINTS ARE FAR. FULLY HEARD.
YOU WILL HAVE HELP AGAIN FROM
THE COMMISSION STAFF WHO WILL
SUPPORT YOU WITH THAT. I WOULD
LIKE EACH COMMITTEE TO STRIVE
FOR CONSENSUS WHEN IT COMES TO
MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS IF THERE
ARE RECOMMENDATIONS YOU CANNOT
REACH CONSENSUS ON AND YOU'RE
NOT REQUIRED TO REACH
CONSENSUS. THEN I WOULD ASK YOU
TO VOTE ON THEM FOLLOWING
ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDER- BUT
LET'S TRY IT INITIALLY TO SEE
WHAT WE CAN AGREE ON. THINK
ABOUT THIS IN A TERMS OF A FEW
DIFFERENT BUCKETS ONE CAN
REFLECT FOUR TO FIVE OVER-
ARCHING ISSUES IN EARLY WINS
ANOTHER CAN BE THINGS THE CHIEF
CAN CHANGE IN THE FIRST YEAR TO
EIGHTEEN MONTHS. AND THEN THE
FINAL BUCKET CAN INCLUDE
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
IMPROVEMENTS OUTSIDE OF THE
POLICE AND FOR THE MAYOR OR THE
CITY. THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS
I'M GOING TO CONCERTS I AM
GOING TO CONSIDER YOU TO BE-
EVIDENCE BASED. TALK TO SUBJECT

MARKETS TRADER FORMERLY WAS A
JOURNALIST FROM A LONG TIME AND
THE CHAIRMAN OF THE NATIONAL
BOARD OF EDUCATION OR NUMBER OF
YEARS AND TWENTY FIFTEEN WAS A
CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR OF
NASHVILLE. IT WAS THEN THAT
RACE KNOCKING DOORS WRONG WORD
A LOT ABOUT SOME CHALLENGES IN
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY THE
POLICE FORCE ESPECIALLY IN
CONVERSATIONS WITH AFRICAN
AMERICAN RESIDENTS. IT WAS
CLEAR THAT AT THAT POINT FIVE
YEARS AGO- BUT THAT WAS NOT THE
LOCAL TRUST THEY IS NECESSARY
FOR PUBLIC SAFETY TO BE REALLY
EFFECTIVE SPEAKING TO BE HAPPY
IT SEEMS LIKE IT WAS A DAY ONE
CHALLENGE DO. I WILL
DISAPPOINTED THAT'S NOT THAT A
TOP PRIORITY SOURCE I'M
DELIGHTED THAT NOW IT IS AND
WHAT WAS DISCOURAGING THINGS
ABOUT THIS CHALLENGE AS OPPOSED
TO SOME OTHER PUBLIC POLICY
ISSUES. SO THE- ISSUES ARE.
THEY'RE NOT NATIONALLY. YOU CAN
IMPROVE UPON THE YOU CAN'T.
SOLVE THIS ONE OF THINKING
SHOULD BE LARGELY SO INTO OF
KIND OF PUTTING IN RIGHT POLICY
IS ON RIGHT. TO JUST LOOK AT
THE PLACE. FINALLY I'M
ENCOURAGED. BECAUSE I THINK
EVERYONE. REALLY HAS THE SAME
OBJECTIVE- AND THAT IS EVERYONE
WANTS TO BE AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE
EVERYONE INCLUDING THE POLICE
WILL HAVE THE POLICE INTERFERE
WITH PEOPLE'S LIVES AS LITTLE
AS POSSIBLE. SO I FEEL REALLY
GOOD ABOUT THE GROUP ORGANIZED
IN JULY TO PARTICIPATE AND HOPE
I CAN MAKE SOME USEFUL
CONTRIBUTION. BRING ABOUT THOSE
IMPROVEMENTS THANKS JOHN THANK
YOU VERY MUCH MISS FREEMAN ARE
YOU WITH US. YES I'M HERE THANK

THIS COMMISSION WITH ALL OF YOU
REALLY APPRECIATE THE

NASHVILLE AND WE RESPOND TO.
VICTIMS AND SURVIVORS OF RAPE
AND SEXUAL ASSAULT OF ALL AGES
AND WE WORK WITH OVER A
THOUSAND PEOPLE A YEAR WE NEED
OUR SERVICES IN THIS COMMUNITY
SO ONE OF MY MANY HOPES OF
BEING INVOLVED IN THIS
COMMISSION IS THAT WE CAN
ELEVATE THE CONVERSATION-
SEXUAL VIOLENCE AND THEN.
SIGNIFICANT PREVALENCE THAT TO-
THAT SEXUAL VIOLENCE IT HAPPENS
IT'LL BALANCE IS IN OUR
COMMUNITY IT'S SUPER IMPORTANT
FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT TO. CONNECT
WITH THE RAPE VICTIMS AND
SURVIVORS IN IN TRAUMA INFORMED
AND VICTIMS IN- THAT WAY IN
ORDER FOR US TO ENCOURAGE MORE
PEOPLE TO REPORT THIS CRIME AND
TO MAKE AN IMPACT AND ENDING UP
IN OUR COMMUNITY SO I'M VERY
HOPEFUL THAT THIS CONVERSATION
CAN. CAN BE ELEVATED WITHIN LAW
ENFORCEMENT WITHIN THE POLICE
FORCE AND WITHIN THE CITY
OVERALL SO THAT WE CAN. MAKE
POSITIVE IMPACTS IN THIS THIS
HORRIBLE CRIME IN OUR COMMUNITY
THERE IS ONE OF MANY THINGS
THAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO

TEN D. MODE. AND THEN IN A
MINUTE WE'LL CONTINUE THIS BY

SECOND AVENUE NORTH- AND
RETIRED METRO POLICE OFFICER
WITH THIRTY THREE YEARS OF
SERVICE THE MAJOR PROBLEMS LIKE
DEPARTMENT A RETIRED TWO
THOUSAND FOR THE CHAPLAIN FOR
THE METRO POLICE DEPARTMENT- I.
THROUGH THIS PROCESS THE
NATIONAL CAN BECOME A MODEL THE
TWENTY FIRST CENTURY MODEL FOR
OUR SAFETY ABSOLUTELY CAN'T
RESIST OWN COMMUNITY RELATIONS
I THINK THAT ONE OF THE ISSUES
THAT WE FACE BETWEEN THE
COMMUNITY AND THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT IS THAT WE DON'T
KNOW EACH OTHER WE DON'T KNOW
THAT THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY
OF POLICE OFFICERS ARE HARD
WORKING DECENT HONEST PEOPLE
WHO WORK HARD EVERY DAY TO
PROTECT US. AND THE POLICE.
DEPARTMENT SOMETIMES PICKS UP
SOMETIMES DON'T KNOW THAT.
PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITIES ARE
STANDING CITIZENS WHO WANT TO
SUPPORT THEM AND WE WANT THEM
TO BE SAFE IT IS OUR DESIRE TO
HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM.
I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE
ISSUES THAT CAN HELP YEAH READ-
IT BACK BETWEEN THE COMMUNITY
AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. I AM
AVAILABLE- MONDAY OR THURSDAY I
LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH
THIS COMMITTEE THEN TRY TO GIVE
A PERSPECTIVE FROM THE
COMMUNITY AS WELL AND THE

A CONDUIT TO THE COMMUNITY
THROUGH MY RECORDING SO I LOOK
FORWARD TO USING A JOURNALISTIC
APPROACH TO EXPLORE. NEW IDEAS
AND THE PERSISTENT PROBLEMS
WE'VE BEEN GRAPPLING WITH FOR
SO MANY YEARS BUT THIS IS GONNA
BE TOUGH AND I'M GONNA SAY THIS
I'M DISAPPOINTED THAT I'VE
ALREADY HEARD CRITICISM OF OUR

ABUSE TREATMENT I ACTUALLY
STARTED MY CAREER AS A FULLY
SWORN LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER
IN ATLANTA IN THE EARLY
NINETEEN NINETIES AS A STATE
PAROLE OFFICER. WELL CERTAINLY
NOT WITH THE FREQUENCY OF
POLICE OFFICERS I WAS CHARGED
WITH EXECUTING ARRESTS IN MY
COMMUNITY I WAS BROUGHT ON AT A
TIME WHEN THE CULTURE THE
INSTITUTION WAS SHIFTING FROM
MORE PUNITIVE TO A MORE
REHABILITATIVE APPROACH WHICH
LED TO A SIGNIFICANT DROP IN
RECIDIVISM SO I FEEL LIKE I
HAVE A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE
HAVING WORKED WITH AND ALL THE
SYSTEMS. MY HOPE IS THAT OUR
COMMISSIONS WORK SERVICE TO
IMPLEMENT THOSE POLICIES
PRACTICES AND CULTURAL SHIFTS
THAT CREATE ACCOUNTABILITY
WHICH IS WHAT PREVENTS
MISCONDUCT AND BRUTALITY AND
THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE I HOPE WE
CAN ACKNOWLEDGE THOSE OFFICERS
WHO SERVED WITH HONOR AND
INTEGRITY AS WELL AS THE
KNOWLEDGE THAT OUR BLACK AND
BROWN COMMUNITIES HAVE BEEN
HARMED BY OUR CURRENT POLICING
PRACTICES. AND THAT WAS A
RECOMMENDATION ACTUALLY
APPEARING FRIEDMAN AND THE
POLICING PROJECT TO CAME TO
NASHVILLE A LITTLE WHILE BACK I
HOPE WE CAN REEVALUATE HOW WE
REALLOCATE OR HOW WE ALLOCATE
RESOURCES IN OUR COMMUNITY SO
WE CAN MEET OUR NEEDS FOR
SAFETY AND SECURITY ABSOLUTELY

SUCH AS SOCIAL SERVICES
AFFORDABLE HOUSING STRONG
PUBLIC SCHOOLS ACCESS TO HEALTH

VICTIM ADVOCATE- AS- THE LEADER
OF A NUMBER. THAT AT WOMEN AND
CHILDREN MEN AND WOMEN AND
CHILDREN. WHO HAVE BEEN

SO I UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S LIKE
TO BE A WOMAN IN LAW

CHALLENGES AS A WOMAN IN LAW

INTERESTED IN NOT ONLY TALKING
ABOUT. HOW POLICING IMPACTS
CULTURES AND RACE BUT ALSO
GENDERS- AND SPECIFICALLY
GENDER BASED VIOLENCE AND
HARASSMENT BOTH WITHIN THE
DEPARTMENT AND EXTERNAL TO THE
DEPARTMENT. SO I. I GUESS IT
IS- THAT WE CONTINUE TO SEEK A
SAFER AND SAFER NATIONAL FOR

COMMUNITY HAS FAITH. IN THAT
POLICING MODEL- AND THAT WE
BELIEVE THAT IT SERVES ALL.

MY NAME IS DARYL TALBERT FOR
THE RECORD EITHER MONDAYS OR
THURSDAYS WILL WORK THURSDAY IS
PREFERRED. I AM CURRENTLY THE
PRESIDENT OF ICAHN
ENTERTAINMENT WE OPERATE A
NUMBER OF DIFFERENT VENUES IN
THE DOWNTOWN NASHVILLE AREA.
PRIOR TO THAT I'D ENJOYED A
THIRTY YEAR CAREER AND IN
MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT- I THINK I
SHARE. WHOLEHEARTEDLY MOST OF
THE GOALS AND AMBITIONS AND
DREAMS OF THE GROUP THAT WE PUT
TOGETHER AND I THINK THERE
COULD BE FOR ALLOWING ME TO
PARTICIPATE. BUT WHAT I WOULD
LIKE TO BRING TO THE TABLE IS.
IS AGAIN THAT EVIDENCED BASED
APPROACH TO PROBLEM SOLVING.
AND CONFIRM T AND MAKING SURE
ALONG THE WAY THEY WERE TAKING
ANY AND ALL POLICY ADJUSTMENTS
AND HOLDING THOSE UP AGAINST- A
TRUE MEASURABLE OUTCOME
ENVIRONMENT. AND MAKING SURE
THAT THE ACCOUNTABILITY WAS
MENTIONED EARLIER THAT'S TRULY
IMPORTANT BUT AS WE DO POLICY
SHIFT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT
TO. TAKE THOSE WHO. YOU KNOW
I'LL HAVE A CALL INTO PUBLIC
SERVICE AND GIVING THEM THE
TOOLS TO BE SUCCESSFUL. I
UNDERSTAND WHAT IS EXPECTED IN
TERMS OF THAT CULTURE THAT
WE'RE TRYING TO BUILD WITHIN
THE COMMUNITY AND WITHIN THE
DEPARTMENT. AND MOST
IMPORTANTLY REMAINING FOCUSED
ON ONE OF THE OBJECTIVES WHICH
IS LAYING THE FOUNDATION FOR A
NEW POLICE CHIEF. THE COP TO A
WORLD CLASS CITY AND CONTINUE
TO DEVELOP AND BUILD A WORLD
CLASS DEPARTMENT- LIKE
EVERYTHING IN LIFE. NOT
EVERYTHING IN THE DEPARTMENT IS
GOOD BUT AT THE SAME TIME NOT
EVERYTHING IN THE DEPARTMENT IS
BAD. THEY HAVE- A HIGH LEVEL OF
SUCCESS IN TERMS OF FUNCTIONAL
DISCIPLINES AS DEFINED BY CLEAN
AIR ACT- SO TO THE DEGREE THAT
WE CAN INTRODUCE COMMUNITY
ORIENTED POLICING BUT DONE
DOING THAT IN SUCH AN
ENVIRONMENT WHERE. WE REMAIN
COGNISANT OF BUDGET
CONSTRAINTS. COMMUNITY
CONSTRAINTS IN DEMAND FOR
SERVICE. AND THINGS ARE ALL.
EIGHT IMPORTANT AND EQUALLY. SO
TO THE TREE WE CAN- MY HOPE IS
THAT I'LL BE A CATALYST FOR.
CONVERSATION IN TERMS OF
IMPLEMENTATION AND MEASURABLE
OUTCOMES. AND JUST SHARE A
DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE AS WELL.
