Quotes

Officials only, in order.

And I think it’s helpful since we have all the relevant parties here is what percentage of discipline cases are IAD versus originating a DPA?Kevin Benedicto · Commissioner2:21:34

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
