* in instances of police shootings or brutality, release to the public relevant surveillance footage and 911 calls.
* Drug test all officers in officer-involved shootings. We demand the cases be treated as if a public had committed the shooting.
* Officers in officer-involved shootings should be placed on administrative duty not paid leave.
* Stop making statements that appear to predetermine the outcome of the investigation or influence public opinion. We have a constitutional right to be treated as innocent until proven guilty.
* FPD's Internal Affairs must thoroughly review officer- involved shootings even if no citizen complaint is filed and also implement the complaint procedure when a family files a claim against the City for police brutality.
* Redesign the Office of Independent Review with some actual teeth! We need an EFFECTIVE OIR, not a facade!
*Prepare an annual report detailing the work of the Officer Involved Shooting Review panel and any new recommendation/ policies or findings, make available to the public on its website.
* The City of Fresno should re-establish a human relations commission with the power to call a town hall meeting immediately after an officer-involved shooting. FPD must ensure it will participate in public forums.
We, the undersigned do not support the racist/classist and unconstitutional tactics of Chief Dyer. We want community based policing an emphasis on PREVENTING crime, rather than reactionary policing.
