of the Compliance Officer and Community Liaison (COCL), as required by the Settlement Agreement (Agreement) between the City of Portland and the United States Department of Justice (hereafter referred to as “DOJ”). By agreement of the Parties, this report combines the COCL’s compliance and outcome assessments into a single document. This report focuses on the City’s compliance with Section VII (Officer Accountability) and Section IX (Community Engagement and Creation of Portland Committee on Community Engaged Policing) of the Settlement Agreement. Our assessment of Sections VII and IX include evaluation of associated outcomes related to the City’s implementation the Settlement Agreement. For all other sections of the Settlement Agreement, the compliance assessments, recommendations, and technical assistance provided in our prior reports should be considered ongoing. For paragraphs where Substantial Compliance has yet to be achieved the COCL delineates the conditions or steps remaining. Report Card As with previous COCL Compliance Reports, this report includes a “Report Card” on the implementation of the Agreement which provides an assessment of each paragraph in the Agreement. For each paragraph where sufficient information is available to render a decision, the Report Card provides an overall judgment on a 4-point scale, ranging from “Non- compliance” to “Substantial Compliance.” For some paragraphs, we have given a rating of Substantial Compliance - Conditional. For these paragraphs, we have determined that the City has nearly satisfied the requirement of the provision in a comprehensive fashion and with a high level of integrity, and all that remains is a particularized set of conditions that we believe are likely to be accomplished in the near future. In order to inform future reports by DOJ, these instances should be interpreted as, “Should these particular conditions be met, we would recommend Substantial Compliance.” When reviewing the specific paragraphs, we utilize a four-tiered system of evaluation: - Substantial Compliance: The City/PPB has satisfied the requirement of the provision in a comprehensive fashion and with a high level of integrity. - Partial Compliance: The City/PPB has made significant progress towards the satisfaction of the provision’s requirements, though additional work is needed. - Non-Compliance but Initial Steps Taken: The City/PPB has begun the necessary steps toward compliance, though significant progress is lacking. - Non-Compliance: The City/PPB has not made any meaningful progress towards the satisfaction of the provision’s requirements. - Not Yet Assessed: The COCL team has not had the opportunity to fully assess the requirements of the provision and elects to withhold assessment of compliance until a more thorough review has occurred. 4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY SECTION VIII (OFFICER ACCOUNTABILITY) The City and PPB continue to make significant progress toward substantially complying with the paragraphs of Section VIII (Officer Accountability). Through their efforts, we believe the City and PPB have substantially complied with 19 of the 22 paragraphs we assessed related to Officer Accountability. Although we note that additional work is required in the three remaining paragraphs, we believe that steps taken by PPB and the City have demonstrated a positive trend towards
