a work group that is specifically representing one side. It is well rounded. It has the legislative support and authority to
enact changes and it has civilian representation and it has input from Police. So that was what my intention was just to
point out to people who we might have been kind of talking around it because we have the document right in front of us.
It’s going to be attached to tonight’s minutes but there is a substantive step being taken to further explore this.

such a good idea. The thing that I’ve noticed in this debate is that people have become very passionate about it — the
Police Department, the Police Commissioners, the people who support them. Some of our fellow Aldermen have become
very passionate in their defense of the Police Department and their insistence that there is no problem and that nothing
should be changed.

So | do believe that by improperly counseling us at that time this got rushed through when a more accurate answer would
have allowed us to fully talk about it among ourselves and before we had claimed it was necessary and before we had
asked the public to come with the information that they then had and state their perspective. | think it was wrong to do it.
| feel that that rushed the process. Thank you.
