Thanks for the detailed analysis. It has been sorely lacking in any articles I have read so far about NSA compliance issues.

Thanks for the detailed analysis. I find the monitor’s ability to grade OPD “out of compliance” merely because he (I assume, he) disagrees with the supervisor’s judgement very difficult to understand. If the monitor’s judgement is the standard of perfection, why not simply eliminate IA, put the monitor in charge of reviewing everything, and let all those officers go back out on the street? We could use them.

This is an excellent summary, which matches my opinion of this document after a quick perusal two months ago. The whole process is incredibly detailed and I am frankly amazed that any large organization could comply with this level of precision, much less the OPD with its incredible pressures. Large coporate SOX compliance efforts are less stringent than this It should be noted that the “compliance” officer/staff has a huge conflict of interest in extending this process a long as possible… on the taxpayers wallet of course.

Good work

Good work Oaktalk in your close reading of the documents and your logical conclusions. And indeed you ask the right question: was city staff on top of all this and doing its best to keep compliance requirement details reasonable and achievable? My answer to this asks another question: in a city without a competent leader is city staff on top of any problem?

This critical analysis of the entire NSA-MOU 9 year odyssey (that has taken huge amounts of City time and money) is exactly what has been needed for the last several years — and which SHOULD have been accomplished by the City of Oakland itself. In addition to the dangerous and unpleasant police working conditions here, the dragging on of this latest MOU is undoubtedly a major reason why competent police officers are leaving Oakland in droves for other more rational working conditions.
