Sergeant King described simulation and judgmental training programs—he referenced Milo (a virtual reality decision-training platform) and force‑on‑force exercises that oversight members and community participants have sometimes been invited to observe. \"... departments across the country have even involved their oversight committees or various, citizen groups to come out and participate in, like, force on force training with simunition rounds,\" he said, adding that participation can be \"very eye opening.\" The commission asked the department to organize opportunities for commissioners to observe or participate.

Chief Anderson outlined technical work around video evidence and said the department uses Axon Investigate and is considering tools (referred to in the meeting as “Trulio”) that can tag or label footage for use-of-force or other incident types. The chief explained that different video sources record at different frame rates and that playback speed and frame rates can affect what a viewer perceives; he said specialized tools can help recover accurate timing and assist reviewers in assessing an incident.

The commission set a transparency meeting for Thursday, April 17 at 1:30 p.m. in the police department’s detective bureau conference room; APD staff said the meeting is intended primarily for the commission’s information managers because discussion will include sensitive materials, though commissioners may be invited as appropriate. APD also said training sergeants will attend so real‑time training questions can be answered.

No formal vote was taken. Commissioners asked APD to circulate dates for training and to provide a clear process for commissioners to view training materials and body‑worn camera footage under existing rules.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Ann Arbor City Independent Community Police Oversight Commission 3/25/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Commissioners and APD agreed to coordinate training opportunities (including simulated use‑of‑force exercises) and to hold a transparency meeting April 17.

Staff and police officials said many of the recent complaints related to community service officers and semi‑marked units rather than only clearly marked patrol cars.

Sergeant King and Lieutenant Petterly briefed the commission on two parallel efforts: revising department policy language about permissible parking for different classes of city police vehicles, and migrating complaint records into a new management system. Sergeant King said the current policies are inconsistent across multiple documents and that the department is working to “revamp them, make it neater, make it better to understand, and cover… all the different city vehicles that the police department has in its fleet.”

Commission staff reported that roughly 14 complaints had been received in total in the period under review, with about 11 coming from a single complainant and focused on parking. Staff and police said the parking complaints will be uploaded to the commission’s SharePoint portal as the department finalizes policy updates. Lieutenant Petterly explained the department’s new management software sequences case numbers automatically, which complicates adding a commission-specific suffix; the team said it can assign a separate prefix at intake to indicate whether a case originated through the commission.

Commissioners asked for monthly updates and clarified they want complaint reports that show status, department findings and any commission recommendations. Chief Anderson and department staff encouraged the commission to use the portal and said the department would continue to upload investigative materials in a timely manner.

No formal action was taken; commissioners and police agreed to continue work on policy revisions, SharePoint access and a unified numbering/tracking approach so internal and external complaints can be tracked consistently.","Commissioners were briefed on a recent batch of complaints—about 11—largely concerning police vehicles parked in metered spaces.

Dr. Karpiak, who worked on the original study, told the commission the data used in the first analysis remain available and that a repeat study is technically feasible if there have been enough traffic stops during the interim.

Dr. Karpiak said the initial analysis used three years of data to obtain the statistical specificity needed to break down stops by race and gender; he cautioned that similar statistical power will depend on how many stops have occurred since the ordinance took effect. He also said the earlier grant that supported part of the prior work was $25,000 and was used mainly to fund a graduate student role; larger funding would be needed to replicate a fuller study.

Councilmember Harrison reminded commissioners that the Driving Equality Ordinance was passed in July 2023. Chief Anderson said the department is reviewing available data despite challenges with some records systems and that policy and training reviews are underway; he indicated the department would provide information to the commission about data availability.

Commissioners discussed funding options. Dr. Karpiak and others noted past small grants had helped but that a comprehensive follow-up could require larger support or a multi‑year approach. Commissioners also mentioned that the U.S. Department of Justice had offered research grants in the recent past to analyze traffic-stop data in municipalities that adopted similar laws; availability of those programs now is unclear.

No formal action was taken. Commissioners asked staff to explore whether commission budget funds could be earmarked or combined across fiscal years to support a study, and to follow up with the city attorney and potential academic partners about feasibility and timelines.","Members discussed the availability of traffic-stop data and possibilities for a follow-up study of Ann Arbor's Driving Equality Ordinance.

Chair Carter opened discussion with concerns about using commission funds for furniture, saying she was “reluctant to spend our money for furniture.” Commissioners who had visited the office described cramped conditions and supported purchasing a modern desk and an ergonomic chair to make the space usable for staff and visitors. Commissioner Billups made the motion to approve the purchase and members voiced support before taking a voice vote. The chair announced the measure passed after a call for opposition returned none.

Commissioners said the buy would include additional visitor chairs and plans to move a round table from the Second Floor to create a small meeting area. The chair emphasized she did not want to make the purchase unilaterally and asked colleagues to inspect the space before further decisions. Both the chair and staff confirmed delivery would be free through the city vendor; the quoted total for the desk and chair was $737.48.

The purchase was presented as a way to accommodate public visitors and other commission chairs who sometimes use the office. Several commissioners expressly endorsed the expenditure as necessary for staff comfort and for enabling in‑person meetings.

The commission approved the agenda and minutes earlier in the meeting by voice votes; the furniture purchase was the only substantive spending item discussed at length during new business. Chair Carter said the annual report printing was being finalized and will be distributed once the print run is confirmed.

The commission did not record individual roll-call vote counts for the furniture purchase in the transcript; the chair announced the motion carried by voice vote.","The Ann Arbor Independent Community Police Oversight Commission voted to spend $737.48 from its budget to buy a new desk and chair for its shared office; the motion passed by voice vote after members discussed office space and accessibility for visitors.","actionData","errors"]
