At 7pm the commission resumes work on the investigation of the December 2014 police response to Black Lives Matter protests. See below for more information.

Prior to the full meeting, the Mutual Aid Subcommittee will meet from 6 to 7 to discuss BPD agreements with agencies like the intelligence fusion center (NCRIC), UASI (Homeland Security anti-terrorism funding program, which pays for Urban Shield), and UCPD. I will send more information on this subcommittee meeting separately.

Public comment is welcome at the beginning of each meeting.

Here is the agenda packet for the full 7pm commission meeting: http://www.cityofberkeley.info/uploadedFiles/Police_Review_Commission/Commissions/PRC%20Pkt.%209-9-15.pdf http://www.cityofberkeley.info/uploadedFiles/Police_Review_Commission/Commissions/PRC%20Pkt.%209-9-15.pdf

You may wish to review the packet before coming to the meeting, as it includes:

1. A memo to the city council announcing a delay in reporting back on the investigation (council meeting of December 1)
2. Recommendations already passed by PRC as part of the investigation
3. Proposed outline of overall report to council
— And unrelated to the investigation:
4. Right to Watch: new police General Order, and a protest by CopWatch
5. Proposed commission work plan for the rest of the year
6. Letter sent by PRC to council on proposed changes to BPD General Order N-17 governing Suspicious Activity Reporting to the NCRIC fusion center.
