Anthony Driver calls the meeting to order around 6:37pm. There are 5 commissioners present, establishing a quorum.

The audio of the Zoom webinar is not very clear. The first speaker in the public comment period is up.

There was only one participant in public comment, but I could not hear them well due to the meeting connection.

Minutes from the last meeting are approved (March 30th).

They tried a few different mics, but not much improvement. https://t.co/6qMLIIGK6p

The commission moves on to the other agenda item: Vote to submit consent decree compliance items to the independent monitor.

The CCPSA consent decree compliance items concern their role in the appointment of Police Board members and COPA Chief.

CCPSA will finalize proposed policies in July. Until then, drafts will be published online, and public will be able to submit comment online and in person.

Next, updates on supt search. 3 candidates are being forwarded to the Mayor, who will have final say.

Audio is choppy again, so cannot hear what Driver is saying.

Yvette Loizon says to the other commissioners that after CCPSA is finished with focus on supt search, they must work to help address police allocation issues in the city. Loizon talks about Areanah Preston and the fact that it took officers 30 minutes to arrive.

Commissioner Terry provides an update on their proposed policy to CPD regarding associations. Terry says CPD reviewed the proposals and made suggestions. The change proposals are being reviewed.

After changes are made to proposed policy, it will be posted online for public comment.

Next, updates on Police Board candidates. CCPSA sent a list of candidates to fill 3 open spots. 2 candidates were approved.

CCPSA is actively seeking applications for the Police Board. Info on applying: https://www.chicago.gov/city/en/depts/ccpsa/supp_info/serving-on-the-police-board.html

Commissioner Nellis talks about the killing of Tyre Nichols by the Memphis SCORPION police unit. Nellis says SCORPION practices and policies do not belong in CPD.

Nellis says he is open to hearing from others regarding their experiences with CPD. https://t.co/LDQlaNvipr

Loizon has been telling Nellis that CCPSA needs to clarify what is exactly meant when Nellis says “SCORPION-like” tactics.

Loizon asked if they have evidence today of CPD using SCORPION tactics. Nellis says yes, but he didn’t want to reveal too much early into the investigation.
