Upcoming appeal will include eight body‑worn and four in‑car videos; board to receive evidence packets before next meeting
Summary
Board staff said packets for a forthcoming appeal will be mailed to members next Friday; the appeal includes eight body‑worn camera videos (varying lengths), four in‑car videos and Garrity interview transcripts, and members should schedule time with the city attorney's office to review materials.
Board staff provided procedural details for an upcoming appeal and the volume of evidence members will need to review. "There's eight body worn camera videos ranging from less than 10 minutes to more than an hour," Brandon said, and there are four in-car videos in the case. Staff also noted there are written transcripts from Garrity interviews related to the incident.
The Board liaison said staff will prepare appeal packets and mail them to members by next Friday; members were advised to schedule appointments with the city attorney's office to review materials before the board meets. Brandon cautioned that some video content will be repetitive and review time will vary depending on how thoroughly members watch each recording.
Why it matters: Board members must review potentially many hours of video and interview transcripts before adjudicating the appeal, which affects scheduling and how the board organizes its review sessions. The staff plan to provide materials in advance so members can coordinate time with legal staff to ensure due process.
Next step: staff will mail evidence packets to board members and the board will set appointments with the city attorney's office for advance review; timing of the appeal will depend on receipt of one outstanding information package.
