The board took no further action at the meeting beyond receiving the update. The board member who reported the exchange described the TBI’s refusal as the official response and said that was all they had to report on the 61‑page complaint at that time.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","06/23/25 Community Review Board","oneSentenceSummary","The Community Review Board reported it filed a public records request to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation for records related to a 61‑page complaint; the TBI declined to produce materials, citing an ongoing investigation.","taxTitle","Community Review Board Meetings, Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee","taxId",69308,"location","Tennessee","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6189819,"Community Review Board approves case findings, recommends training and disciplinary follow-up in multiple OPA reviews",326,2688000,3014000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5055015-72c339ce1a8b596be945e58e1040161b&start=2688&end=3014","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5055015-72c339ce1a8b596be945e58e1040161b/thumbnail_2688000.jpg","/articles/6189819/Tennessee/Community-Review-Board-approves-case-findings-recommends-training-and-disciplinary-follow-up-in-multiple-OPA-reviews","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6189819-aa88d142558df770f918435d74fe6496/orig.mp4?Expires=1771171546&Signature=UhMMksfFHUI6HOWPX7eFh2PczX0OdcyHt0Mp6jxYkecdRODfSN3ich0ladkfRg04RxNYA2YnqwOqsN7onSjYqO4caR0v1EBBDM2T-3t2CEqMws2GDuJhWYgRLfS4utchsr0P~5PF~CF4usCtT~o3iFb~Lx-kQlviMu9GU2COaLNgsVPxd2LJCFqNfhdIC0Mkg65xw1s5Mk5n8mJFvyZOKKPszmisO2pdM~ZJLlNaGjoXvwiGsqQiouc89ZB03rDSmmsFUnGhcnsolX~jW80N43~c4Ce8GnvOrNZN99X89vkI9Z-N957zqogLVYz8Z~SMdOh06MKgI3br2rI0-zn6lQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Community Review Board approved its review of several Office of Professional Accountability cases and recommended follow-up actions including training and added disciplinary charges in at least one instance.

In a case involving Officer Jacob Snyder, the board endorsed staff recommendations that OPA add a profanity violation to its findings and consider additional cultural-competency training after a complainant said the officer called him “dog” and told him “that’s how I talk to everyone in the projects.” The board approved the recommendation that OPA revisit the disciplinary category and training for the officer.

In a second case involving Officer Igor Dimitrovay and Sergeant James Reese, the board concluded its review found supervisor deficiencies. The board’s report said OPA did not substantiate bias-based profiling but sustained findings that Sergeant Reese violated self-control and performed deficiently; the board recommended additional de-escalation and professionalism training for the supervisor and asked OPA to include narratives with its conclusions in future closures.

A separate review involving Officer Tyler Hall and Sergeant Kimberly Forsyth concerned alleged high-speed operation of a Metro vehicle. That file used AVL/TrackStar data to verify speeds. Both officers accepted pre-investigative settlements and received written reprimands; OPA’s investigation was described as complete and satisfactory.

Board members discussed the CRB’s role after closure. The CRB’s report and recommendations are forwarded to the police chief and the mayor; under the existing MOU, the chief must respond in writing within 45 calendar days to indicate whether he accepts, partially accepts or rejects the recommendations and to explain the department’s reasons and any actions taken.

Board members said the CRB will track whether recommended training and disciplinary steps are implemented and that the board’s reports and the chief’s written responses will be posted on the board’s public portal.","The Community Review Board approved closure and review recommendations for multiple Office of Professional Accountability investigations, endorsing training for cultural competency and additional oversight steps in several cases; it also noted the chief must respond in writing to the board's recommendations within 45 days.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6189824,"Community Review Board says police department declined to formalize Rule 16 discovery sharing; DA may provide materials case‑by‑case",388,1222000,1610000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5055015-72c339ce1a8b596be945e58e1040161b&start=1222&end=1610","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5055015-72c339ce1a8b596be945e58e1040161b/thumbnail_1222000.jpg","/articles/6189824/Tennessee/Community-Review-Board-says-police-department-declined-to-formalize-Rule-16-discovery-sharing-DA-may-provide-materials-casebycase","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6189824-4786ba5e92d9e25e1661008a20c50647/orig.mp4?Expires=1771171546&Signature=klsdF2GkR45cYhIqOQLMSmrG8ecAyUavTxEOr7WBEjw7Riy~hd0PcSyEyV44LFze3J3BbHzp4CvrK5r72YLoQR9qhyce5LzvtPGr7Qg~dd4LAWwljlyZa5F9pX2xOh9YXgk4~Xo4VMzYicdBY~Gi5WUcI~6kllgynrpYd4b-WS5DtlYck4NabqRUf6CeThp1NqhsmNrgjzj736Jmp5eci1NCAB~aDahdC0cK4sA5LjnHqmab49CrF7SITzdf2HLiCtisIpNs3Lzdkz815ERVYtEZE8qVNri1FSTeqhyvj~9ZaFm1tAEqMS6kOp0VjXF0Vdv31AybjeaMWvqI~Xdkdg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Community Review Board reported that efforts to secure a formal agreement with the police department to share Rule 16 discovery materials stalled after a June meeting with police leadership and the district attorney’s office.

Board members and staff said they brought a draft Rule 16 access agreement — described at the meeting as a Rule 16/DAMOU arrangement — to discussions with the police department, but the department declined to sign a formalized agreement. The board’s report said the police department’s position is that “the law does not require them to share Rule 16 materials with the community review board.” The board added that District Attorney Lehi Funk indicated he may, on a case‑by‑case basis, supply materials when requested.

The board discussed next steps at the meeting. Staff and board members said the group exchanged recollections about earlier MOU negotiations: board negotiators believed the police had been willing to join the Rule 16 arrangement during prior rounds of talks, while police representatives remembered the conversations differently. The board said those differences in recollection were part of the reason a formal agreement was not reached.

Board counsel and staff recommended a clearly defined, written procedure for requesting discovery from the district attorney so that future requests can be handled in a predictable way. Attorney remarks at the meeting urged the board to identify specific cases and to submit written requests that explicitly describe the materials being sought; the DA’s office indicated it could respond on a case-by-case basis.

Board members said they will continue to pursue access to discovery materials and seek a formalized process for requests. The board did not take formal action to force disclosure at the meeting; the department’s refusal and the DA’s conditional willingness were described as the present status.","The board reported a meeting with the police department and the district attorney about a proposed agreement to share Rule 16 materials; the department said it is not legally required to share discovery and would not sign a formal agreement, though the district attorney may share materials on a case-by-case basis.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6189828,"Community Review Board votes to recommend 13% merit increase for executive director and send letter to mayor",1599,303000,1902000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5055015-72c339ce1a8b596be945e58e1040161b&start=303&end=1902","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5055015-72c339ce1a8b596be945e58e1040161b/thumbnail_303000.jpg","/articles/6189828/Tennessee/Community-Review-Board-votes-to-recommend-13-merit-increase-for-executive-director-and-send-letter-to-mayor","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6189828-03ce758d60a4f06bae02b0767d2f4961/orig.mp4?Expires=1771171546&Signature=EiYiZnAj4DSFFKcyNCHnwsWWgV-DdgmJUdE9IK18kJm6AlzgKEh6dSjdtZBmA9KI-XJqeQaGgqwk6ftbvEmqlvSKF2oh4X9cujMcrR0LEPCY78R6kbu4pEG7innUl~JOv1fO20xuXkmwpKaQBavl27pe9XuomEFOlYxvoJbn63sWcsoJKOtMLGRCuNhyx4cFwQ-YL3sLs2-FHNhTQiNOB8zU63m5Lv4m6Lq5KNmb7LV2s2Twnu4j9Qp7WoXDu2MGkaI5YelNfbdMOEuufIZdEcTIq1ugHzhHxblOZpwuM7SFrxdnywFhuarB7tXMX1e-y3okd8yY52qXiRI87Cvk2w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Community Review Board voted to recommend a 13% merit increase for its executive director and to forward a letter to the mayor seeking approval.

The recommendation — an average 13% increase arrived at by the board’s executive committee — was approved by voice vote at the board’s June meeting and will be transmitted to the mayor’s office for final action. Board members also agreed the recommendation factors in that no merit increase was awarded in 2023.

Board members said the raise follows a formal evaluation by the executive committee and supporting materials including the director’s job description, resume and a highlights document. Executive Director Edie Fitchard thanked the board and staff during the meeting: “I wanna thank you, mister Holloway, chair Holloway, for your support and all of the members of the board, and I appreciate you advocating for me to receive an increase in my salary,” she said.

Board members described the process used to calculate the recommendation. The executive committee members each recorded a recommended percentage, and the board reported the committee’s average as 13%. The board chair told members that voting to approve the recommended figure would also advance the formal letter to the mayor.

The board noted that municipal budget decisions limit what the mayor’s office can approve. Executive staff told the board they had not received additional department funding for fiscal year 2026 and that roughly $30,000 in departmental savings had been recalled earlier in the budget process. The board also learned that a requested CRB vehicle was not listed in the mayor’s budget and that the board was awaiting a separate confirmation from fleet management or the office of budget management.

The board’s approval is advisory: the mayor must sign off. A member of the board said after the vote that the recommendation will be sent to HR and the mayor’s office and the board will notify members when it receives the mayor’s written response.","The Community Review Board voted to endorse a 13% merit increase for Executive Director Edie Fitchard and to forward a recommendation letter to the mayor for final approval; the board noted compressed municipal budgets and that mayoral sign-off is required.","actionData","errors"]
