Kira Chang, assistant village manager and human resources director, introduced the Citizen Police Oversight Committee's (CPAC) semiannual report and invited Kevin Barnhart, CPAC chair, to summarize recommendations. The board voted to receive the report.

Barnhart said CPAC's work centers on complaints and racial equity within policing and noted special assignments the board has given the committee, including review of the Flock automated license-plate reader (ALPR) system. He said the committee had not received consistent information about the outcomes of investigative ALPR searches and proposed a template to collect and report that information for oversight purposes. "One of the things we get is you didn't send did you send someone out fast enough?" Barnhart said in describing the need for timely data to evaluate system use.

Trustees and staff discussed an ongoing consultant engagement: Pivot Consulting Group is assisting the village to expand CPAC's role beyond complaints, review oversight models adopted elsewhere and recommend a structure tailored to Oak Park. Several trustees supported folding CPAC's request into Pivot's forthcoming recommendations. Chief Johnson and other police leaders said they will assist with research on models and data availability.

The board voted to receive the CPAC semiannual report. Clerk Waters recorded the motion with an affirmative roll call. Trustees said they expect Pivot's report to return to the board soon and that any additional CPAC responsibilities would be coordinated with staff and the consultant.

Ending: Trustees and staff asked CPAC and the consultant to identify any capacity or data needs required for sustained oversight of ALPR uses so the board can evaluate staffing or technical requirements.
