Quotes

Officials only, in order.

When you say that the hearing officer makes a recommendation, I know prior what would happen is the commander would look at the file, make a recommendation, and then send it up the chain so that the chief would actually review it and then either concur or disagree and provide the recommended discipline. So is that not happening now?Cindy Elias · Commissioner44:52
Do the lawyers not explain to their clients what the process is between DPA and, and the commission?C. Don Clay · President50:41

How we count

Each summary sentence is checked against the transcript before it is published; in a blind check, 99 of 100 sentences were right. A voice gets an official’s name only when two AI readers and a code check agree, so the minutes undercount and are not attendance. Officials only: members of the public are counted, never named, shown or quoted, and full transcripts aren’t published because they can carry their names. More on how we know
