Council memorialized this direction on in Resolution 20-852, which was passed on April 30. Staff has delivered the petition to the Office of the Governor and also filed it with the Secretary of State. Additionally, staff has worked with its legislative consultants to engage Denton’s delegation and other interested cities on the issue. To date, staff has received no response from either the Governor or the Secretary of State. In passing the resolution, Council directed staff to cease efforts to effectuate the petition if no response had been received by May 31, 2020. Pursuant to that direction, staff have discontinued such efforts. Staff contact: Ryan Adams, Public Affairs C. COVID-19 Update Regarding Homelessness – The following is a brief overview for plans to continue to serve individuals experiencing homelessness in a modified environment due to COVID-19 restrictions and measures.  Alternative Shelters – In partnership with MKOC and ODB, staff plans to extend the alternative shelter arrangement at two hotels to provide shelter with safe distancing for individuals experiencing homelessness. There are currently a total of 69 rooms (including two reserved for COVID quarantine as needed) between the two hotels with 73 individuals staying in one hotel and 10 households staying in the second hotel. The collaborative recommendation is to continue the hotel arrangement through at least the end of August to provide for safe spacing and continue to shelter that number of individuals, which would otherwise be unavailable if returning to shelter at MKOC facility. The focus will continue to be on case management and trying to house individuals staying at the hotel. Additional placements at the hotel will continue to be accepted based upon availability and recommendations from the Street Outreach team.  Sustainability of Operations – Both MKOC and ODB have had to significantly modify their operations as a result of COVID-19 and are challenged to continue to provide services with significant loss of volunteers and new environments with distancing requirements. City staff have provided some operational support to these organizations to fill gaps from the loss of community volunteers. City staff have been working with both non-profits to understand what resources may be needed to effectively sustain operations through the summer months and that may be eligible for temporary CARES CRF funding due to COVID response. Staff will provide an update once available.  The Salvation Army Shelter – The Salvation Army Denton Corps’ Homeless Shelter has reopened at 50% capacity on Monday, 6/8/2020, with intake beginning at 4 p.m. and community dinner at 5:30 p.m.  Inclement Weather Stations – Through the last week, City staff has quickly worked with non-profits and City departments to identify facilities, services, and hours available to individuals during inclement weather with hot temperatures approaching. City staff has developed a temporary plan (attached), due to COVID impacts, that have been shared with City Council, media, public, and non-profit partners. Public Affairs is also developing an updated flyer with this information from the plan. The plan and communications will continue to be updated as availability may expand with COVID-19 reopenings.  Civic Center Pool Hygiene Station – Since late March, due to COVID closings, the Civic Center Pool (CCP) has been available Monday-Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for a hygiene station to provide showers and restrooms. The CCP hygiene station is scheduled to close on July 2 in order to reallocate limited 2 staffing resources to reopening other Parks facilities including North Lakes Recreation Center and preparing the Natatorium to reopen in August. In addition, Parks restrooms will begin opening Monday, June 15 for use by the public. Our Daily Bread (ODB) is also offering showers to individuals in need and has laundry vouchers available with additional funding provided by the City.  ESG Grant Application – On June 5, City of Denton staff submitted an application to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs for $1.425 million in Emergency Solutions Grant funding allocated through the CARES Act (ESG-CV funds). City staff will provide updates on the status of this grant application as available.  Case Conferencing Meetings – Collaborative Case Conferencing meetings ensure our community is actively tracking, engaging, and connecting all people experiencing homelessness to permanent housing. It supports a holistic, coordinated, and integrated assistance across all housing solutions. During the meeting case managers review progress and identify barriers related to each individual’s housing goal and solutions across multiple providers. It has the added benefit of helping clarify roles and responsibilities and reduce duplication of services. Two different meetings held bi-weekly and have resumed using virtual meeting format. One is a review of Rapid-Rehousing, Chronic and DV Housing Priority Lists and the second is review of Veterans experiencing homelessness. As of May 3, a third case conferencing meeting was added specifically with OBD and MKOC in order to connecting hotel shelter clients experiencing homelessness to permanent housing.  Denton County Homelessness Leadership Team (DCHLT) – The DCHLT has resumed meeting virtually on June 11 to continue work towards its strategic goals for Denton County’s housing crisis response system. During this meeting, the DCHLT reviewed the 2020 Denton County Homelessness Data Report. Due to COVID, the presentation to the community will be held via a Facebook Live event on Wednesday, July 1 from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. All are welcome to join. This is a brief overview of some of the many efforts that City staff and non-profit partners continue to work tirelessly on to serve individuals experiencing homelessness or at-risk of experiencing homelessness during this pandemic. Staff contacts: Sarah Kuechler / Dani Shaw D. Municipal Court Reopening – The Municipal Court lobby reopened to the public for over-the-counter transactions on June 1. Defendants have the ability to speak with a Municipal Court Clerk or make payments in-person. Normal business hours of Monday-Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. are currently being offered (excluding City holidays). Social distancing protocols, sanitation, and other mandated guidelines are observed to ensure the safety of the public and the Court staff. An electronic queueing system has also been implemented to create a virtual line for in-person visitors. This provides freedom for visitors as they can wait wherever they would like. It also prevents crowding and promotes social distancing in our hallways. 3 Visitors simply check in at the kiosk, select the service for which they are needing assistance, and receive text alerts regarding wait time and when it is their turn to speak to Court staff. For more information on this system, see the DTV video. For their convenience and safety, we strongly encourage defendants to use the online options available at www.cityofdenton.com/court. They may be able to take care of their citation or case without ever entering the Court facility. The current online options are as follows:  Pay Tickets & Fines Online  Check the Status of Your Case  View Upcoming Court Dockets Many additional options will be implemented later this month. Virtual Court Hearings for non-jury dockets began on June 8. Defendants log in via the Zoom meeting application to speak with the Prosecutor and/or Judge regarding their case. Over 60 defendants resolved cases through Zoom in the first two days of virtual dockets. While the Office of Court Administration (OCA) has mandated that all non- essential and non-jury hearings be hosted virtually until further notice, the Court’s operating plan for enhanced courtroom safety protocols has been approved. This allows the Court to see defendants in-person on a limited basis for essential in-person hearings or if a defendant does not have the capability to appear by Virtual Court. For more information, please visit Virtual Court. Staff contact: Jamie Lindsay, Municipal Court E. Fair and Impartial Policing – Denton PD sent 24 employees, sworn and civilian, to become trainers for our department. In the coming months, Executive staff and community members will be attending the 1 ½-day course together. Both of these trainings were scheduled months ago, but had to be delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The two-day “train-the-trainer” program was attended by Denton PD officers, Argyle PD, and UNTPD over June 11 and June 12. Those trained will be able to train their respective departments on Fair and Impartial Policing. More information about the program may be found in the attached program outline. Staff contact: Frank Dixon, Police F. TOMA Suspensions Continued – Yesterday (June 11), the governor’s office extended the Open Meetings Act suspensions by extending the statewide disaster declaration for a 30-day period. The temporary suspension allows, among other things, for telephonic or videoconference meetings of governmental bodies that are accessible to the public in an effort to reduce in-person meetings that assemble large groups of people. The March 13 declaration has been extended for successive 30-day periods, including yesterday’s extension for 30 days. That means the relevant open meetings laws remain suspended for at least another 30 days (or until affirmatively rescinded). Staff contact: Sarah Kuechler, Public Affairs G. Mobile Leak Detection Unit – Atmos’s mobile leak detection vehicle was in Denton the week of June 8-12 in the area on the attached map. The equipment looks similar to a Google Earth vehicle that drives slowly in the neighborhoods. This is part of Atmos’s 4 normal surveying process and procedures. The vehicle typically runs late at night on good weather days. Staff contact: Mario Canizares, City Manager’s Office H. Weekly Unemployment & Business Update – Staff is working to assemble, review, and analyze unemployment and labor data each week. Staff will provide ongoing updates throughout the COVID-19 pandemic as data is made available.  U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) o DOL released its weekly unemployment report on Thursday, June 11. The full report is available here.  Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) o The BLS released the May Employment Situation Summary on Friday, June 5. The full report is available here.  U.S. Census Bureau o The U.S. Census Bureau is conducting experimental Small Business Pulse Surveys to measure the changes in business conditions on small businesses throughout the country. o Data is now available for the week of May 31-June 6. o The results of the survey are available here.  Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) o TWC has created a UI Claimant Dashboard to provide updated graphical representations of data and datasets for download. The dashboard is available here. o April local unemployment data was released on the Texas Labor Market Information (www.texasLMI.com) system on May 22. The next release is scheduled for June 19. o TWC also provides data on weekly unemployment claims filed and how the claim was received. The chart with data as of June 12 is below. Staff contact: Jessica Rogers, Economic Development 5 I. UWDC COVID-19 Relief Fund Update – Please see below for an update of the United Way of Denton County’s (UWDC) COVID-19 Relief Fund Eviction Prevention program as of Wednesday, June 10. Of note this week is the number of households reported includes duplicated households; UWDC staff are working as quickly as possible to provide an unduplicated number of households assisted. UWDC also added the total number of months of assistance provided by location. The CRF Eviction Prevention Program flyer is now downloadable from the UWDC website, and the page detailing the fund has been translated into Spanish and Chin. Staff contact: Sarah Kuechler, Public Affairs J. Annual Data Report on Homelessness in Denton County and 2020 Point-In-Time Count – The annual Point-In-Time (PIT) Count was conducted Thursday, January 23, 2020. The Denton County Homeless Coalition, Denton County Homelessness Leadership Team, and United Way of Denton County have published the 2020 Denton County Homelessness Data Report. The attached report features an analysis of the data from the Denton County Homelessness Data Dashboard and the 2020 Point-in-Time Count homeless census. On July 1, 2020, the Denton County Homeless Coalition will host a Facebook Live event from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. to present the report to the community. All are welcome to attend. Staff contact: Anja Taylor, Community Development. K. Questions about Policing – On June 4, Council Member Briggs forwarded a citizen’s request for information about the Police Department. This included questions about reporting structure and budget, equipment, and citizen involvement. Answers to these questions are below. Staff contact: Frank Dixon, Police 1) Do you know how the Denton police department is currently funded and who their oversight is in terms of governance? The Denton Police Department is funded through the City’s general fund, whose primary revenue source are sales tax and property tax receipts. The Police Department is headed by the Chief of Police, who in turn reports to the City Manager. The City Manager is an appointed position that reports to the City Council. 6 2) Do you know if the Denton PD accepts military grade weapons and equipment from the military? No, the Denton Police Department does not accept any military items. DPD is not currently a part of the 1033 Program, which is a Law Enforcement Support Office (LESO) program that re-purposes military equipment to civilian law enforcement. The department has not been in the program since FY 2017-18, and no equipment was accepted at that time. 3) Do you know the mechanism for citizens to gather information about Denton’s policing, and the demographic breakout of arrests made and where we can find that information? Please visit www.dentonpolice.com and scroll to the bottom of the page for documents, policies, and other information. Staff is currently compiling additional reports and data that will be available on the Denton Police website in the coming weeks. 4) Do you know if there is a committee I can join to learn more about Denton’s policing practices and what they are committing to do to provide peaceful community policing and where they stand on some of these issues? Perhaps there is a contact in the Denton PD already addressing some of this in a public way. The Denton Police Department continues to explore ways to increase citizen involvement. The Training Advisory Board is staffed by community members who provide guidance on training. The Citizens Police Academy and its alumni association also work closely with the department. The department actively brings in community members to serve on focus groups, to discuss policy, and to sit on selection boards for specialized detective positions. L. Award for the Roadway Quality Maintenance Audit – For the 2019 year, the City of Denton’s Internal Audit Department submitted the Roadway Quality Management Audit to the Association of Local Government Auditors. This audit evaluated the City’s ability to safeguard and improve the City’s roadway network. This was the first time the City had submitted an audit report for the Knighton Awards program. The Internal Audit Department is honored to accept the attached award letter for the 2019 Distinguished Knighton Award in the Small Shop Category. Audit staff would like to thank Ethan Cox, Daniel Kremer, and the Streets Division for their time and effort during this audit. Staff contact: Madison Rorschach, Internal Audit M. Civic Center Pavilion, Shared Public Space, and Public Health – Due to the impact to a shared public space and ongoing public health concerns related to overnight camping at the Civic Center Pavilion, staff is recommending enforcement of Park rules at the Civic Center Pavilion and surrounding area that prohibit individuals from being in the park after hours. This will include continued visits from our Street Outreach team and continued presence of Police to inform individuals that are in the park after-hours (10 p.m.) on Parks rules (no camping or after-hours use) and, to ask people to move along voluntarily. Parks is in support of enforcement for this specific area so individuals who do not comply with the ordinance may receive citations/criminal 7 trespasses. Visible signage will be posted regarding the Park rules to help inform the public. A collaborative Homeless Team that consists of many different partners, including our internal staff (PD, FD, Health, Parks, Libraries, etc.) and our external partners in Street Outreach and homelessness assistance (ODB, Vision Ministries, MHMR, DCPH, Giving Hope, etc.) meets regularly to review various sites and evaluate the impact to community resources, City services, and residents as well as monitor health and safety of those living unsheltered. This team is cautious and thoughtful regarding monitoring so as to not cause adverse impacts on unsheltered individuals, unless significant concerns existed that would necessitate a recommendation to take action. The Homeless Outreach Team (H.O.T.), including PD homeless outreach officers and nonprofits, has been visiting this area and will continue to visit to connect or offer services. Street outreach is a valuable tool in the Housing Crisis Response System to ensure that people living on the street have access to emergency shelter if available, be engaged with the community’s Housing Priority List (HPL) for housing placement, and receive information, referrals, crisis intervention, and ongoing support as desired by the individual experiencing homelessness. Staff plans to continue to closely monitor and will provide updates. Staff contact: Dani Shaw, Community Services N. Denton Public Library Books2Go Program with DISD – Denton Public Library is requesting approval of a memorandum of understanding with Denton Independent School District as a consent agenda item on the City Council agenda for June 16, 2020. The proposed partnership is for the new Books2Go program allowing parents to opt-in to get their DISD student a Denton Public Library account as part of the DISD online school registration process and use the student ID as the DPL account number. Books2Go would begin as a pilot program with two DISD schools, Cross Oaks Elementary and Rodriguez Middle School, the first year and expand to other DISD schools in year two. The program streamlines the DPL library account registration process by embedding it as an opt-in choice in the annual DISD online student registration process. Library account information would be imported weekly into the Denton Public Library integrated library software, and a student’s DPL account would be activated immediately. In addition to streamlining the DPL account registration process, the program provides an opportunity for students to access online resources and downloadable materials even if they never visit a Denton Public Library location. Each student participating would use their existing DISD student ID number to login to online resources or download e-books and digital audiobooks. Students who visit library branches would also be able to check out materials or use public access computers with their student IDs. No physical DPL card is needed. The student DPL account remains active after the school year ends, giving students the opportunity to continue reading and learning during the summer. The student accounts remain active until the DISD registration process for the next school year begins. Parents can opt-in to reactivate their child’s DPL library account during the next year’s school registration. 8 All Denton residents, regardless of age, are currently eligible for a free Denton Public Library account. Adult non-residents pay a $50 annual fee for a library account. Denton Public Library recognizes that children do not decide where they reside and that many DISD students live in areas without public library access. To ensure that all children and students have access to information and enriching materials to help them learn and grow, DPL created a free Youth Courtesy Account for children and students who live outside city limits in 2004. This account allows children (ages birth-17) to check out up to 3 items at a time, access online resources and downloadable materials, and use library public computers. The proposed Books2Go program would provide the same access as the Youth Courtesy Account, but specifically be for DISD students. As this would serve DISD students who may be 18 or 19 years old, the DISD Student Account would expand the age range to provide library access to students who are 18+. Staff contact: Jennifer Bekker, Library O. Ability to Apply for Available USDA Grants – On May 15, Council Member Briggs forwarded information regarding USDA grant money through its Community Compost and Food Waste Reduction pilot project. Solid Waste and Recycling staff reviewed the program requirements and attended the webinar held on June 4 to better understand what would be required of the City to submit and implement the grant. With the Solid Waste and Recycling Department embarking on the upcoming Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Strategy (CSWMS), staff determined it to be more appropriate to apply for this grant opportunity in 2021 with a more comprehensive and robust request. Staff contact: Brian Boerner, Solid Waste and Recycling P. Hercules Speed Study – On May 24, Council Member Briggs forwarded concerns from residents regarding speeding on Hercules west of Locust. Traffic Engineering staff are performing the speed study on this section now. They started collecting data last week, and need a full 7 days of data to get a good data set. Upon completion of the data collection, it typically takes another week to compile the data and provide recommendations. Staff will also do another speed study once the east end of Hercules opens near Locust, which is scheduled within the next month. Also, Traffic Engineering staff are scheduled to move the driver feedback signs from east Hercules to west Hercules. Staff contact: Brian Jahn, Capital Projects Q. City of Denton COVID-19 Morbidity Count – On June 11, Council Member Briggs inquired about the number of deaths related to COVID-19 in the city of Denton. Per Denton County Public Health, 14 deaths may be attributed to COVID-19 in Denton. Staff contact: Kenneth Hedges, Fire R. Hinkle Roundabout Concerns – On May 16, Council Member Briggs requested information about a potential solution for better night viewing at the Hinkle roundabout. Traffic engineering assessed the area and determined both short- and long- term solutions. They first installed reflective pavement markers (RPM’s) on the inside and outside of the roundabout lanes on June 4. These markers will allow a car’s headlights to illuminate the roundabout edges when their headlights shine on the reflectors. At the same time, Engineering staff are working with DME to install streetlights at this intersection, and this effort’s schedule is still in development. Traffic Engineering also removed the left arrow guide and kept the right arrow as a directional guide in order to keep the right lane free for vehicles making a right turn as traffic 9 allows, and does not disallow a through movement into the park. As vehicles come out of the roundabout and head north towards Windsor, the word “only” was removed as a directional guide and replaced with a “left and through” marking to allow traffic to turn left or continue straight. Staff contact: Brian Jahn, Capital Projects S. Police Overtime Summary for Protests – Since May 30, the Police Department has incurred an estimated $145,944 in overtime expenses associated with protests around the City. Staff will continue to provide Council a weekly update regarding overtime expenses in the coming weeks. Staff Contact: Nick Vincent, Finance / Shanika Mayo, Police T. Charges for Public Information Requests – On June 8, Council Member Briggs inquired about the charges in place for producing public information requests. The Texas Public Information Act outlines rules and permissible charges for governmental entities to follow with regard to any public information request. The rules break down such charges as well as methods of calculating those charges . These charges can be found here. The Act specifies that any request estimated over $40.00 must receive a cost estimate. Governmental entities are allowed to include a surcharge of no more than 25 percent of the amount established by the Attorney General (Section 552.262). The City is currently not allocating this surcharge on cost estimates as staff are waiting on a response to an inquiry made to the Attorney General’s Office as to updates relating to this surcharge. The City Secretary’s Office assigns the request to the respective department(s) for an estimate as to how long it will take to complete the request and the estimated number of pages responsive to the request. Likewise, the City Secretary’s Office must review the material provided to ensure an exemption from the Act does not apply. That time is added to the estimate provided by the department, compiled and sent to the requestor. The requester then has 10 days to accept the cost estimate, modify the request, or contact the Office of the Attorney General, or advise they have sent to the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) a complaint alleging that they have been overcharged for being provided with a copy of the public information. To date, requestors have either accepted the charges, modified their request (resulting in a reduction of estimates), withdrawn their request altogether, or not responded. 10 The City Secretary’s Office processes all requests in the same manner and with strict adherence to the rules, procedures, and charges outlined in the Texas Public Information Act. Staff contact: Rosa Rios, City Secretary’s Office U. Teasley Lane/West Ranchman Update – On June 11, Council Member Ryan forwarded a request from a resident regarding an update on the date the intersection of Teasley Lane and West Ranchman will open. Staff contacted TxDOT and found Ranchman would open at Teasley on June 11, but TxDOT may also need to close it for a period next week. City staff will make sure the contractor applies the appropriate message boards ahead of time to keep residents aware of any closures. Staff contact: Todd Estes, Capital Projects V. KDB Tree Health Assessment Results – The results for the recent survey capturing the success rate of trees planted through KDB urban forestry programs from 2014 to 2019 received 307 unduplicated entries identifying 700 trees, consisting of over 25 species. The top five species were Texas Redbud, Autumn Blaze Maple, Burr Oak, Mexican Plum, and Mexican White Oak. Of the 700 trees, 78 percent are healthy and thriving.

V: June 9, 2020 13 Promoting Fair & Impartial Policing Page 1 PROMOTING FA IR & IMPARTIAL POLICING: A SCIENCE-BASED PERSPECTIVE Implicit Bias Defined: … the attitudes or stereotypes that affect our understanding, actions, and decisions in an unconscious manner. These biases, which encompass both favorable and unfavorable assessments, are activated involuntarily and without an individual’s awareness or intentional control. Residing deep in the subconscious, these biases are different from known biases that individuals may choose to conceal for the purposes of social and/or political correctness. Kirwan Institute Fair & Impartial Policing®: A Science-Based Perspective Fair and Impartial Policing, LLC (FIP) is the #1 provider of implicit-bias-awareness training for law enforcement in the U.S. and Canada. We began training law enforcement professionals on implicit bias in 2008. The Fair & Impartial Policing®: A Science-Based Perspective training curriculum applies the modern science of bias to law enforcement; it trains officers on the effect of implicit bias and gives them the information and skills they need to reduce and manage their biases. The curricula address not just racial/ethnic bias, but biases based on other factors, such as gender, sexual orientation, religion, socio-economic status and so forth. The curricula also address the various ways in which biases manifest, including implicit associations, attentional bias, confirmation bias, and outgroup bias. This science-based perspective is wholly consistent with the law enforcement professions’ commitment to evidence-based practice. Both law enforcement professionals and concerned community stakeholders can come together around this common perspective and its associated plans of action. Our training has reached federal, state, local, and campus police agencies of all sizes. Some of the major U.S. cities that have adopted the FIP program include Boston, Dallas, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Nashville, New York, Philadelphia, San Antonio, San Francisco, San Jose, and Seattle, to name a few. The FIP program has been highlighted in articles in the Police Chief, PERF’s Subject to Debate, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Gazette, Psychology Today, Mother Jones, and National Geographic. The program has been highlighted by the PBS News Hour and CBS Sunday Morning. Entire states are adopting the FIP perspective and FIP has been integrated into the IACP’s Leadership of Police Organizations (LPO) and Women’s Leadership Institute (WLI) training programs. FIP has been presented at the FBI National Academy and is a regular part of the curricula of PERF’s Senior Management Institute for Police (SMIP). 14 Promoting Fair & Impartial Policing Page 2 PROMOTING FA IR & IMPARTIAL POLICING: A SCIENCE-BASED PERSPECTIVE The Intersection of Implicit Bias and Law Enforcement Law enforcement’s approach to training on racial biases has been rooted in the traditional way of thinking about this national issue, one that rested on the notion that persons were conscious of and acted on their prejudices. The message they received was to “stop being prejudiced;” a message that was ill-suited and possibly offensive for most individuals, including most individuals in policing, who may not have these “explicit” prejudices. This traditional “thinking” overused the “racist” label, applying it to even the overwhelming number of well-meaning law enforcement professionals who, in fact, aspire to provide fair and just policing in the communities they serve. The FIP training approach stands in stark contrast to traditional racial-profiling training programs that have been based on outdated understandings about prejudice. Scientists have determined – through voluminous research on this topic – that modern bias is less likely to be overt or “explicit” (e.g., racism). Rather, bias is more likely to be “implicit,” working outside of conscious awareness and manifesting even in people who consciously hold non-prejudiced attitudes. Bias starts with our automatic tendency to categorize individuals. We categorize individuals and objects to make sense of the world, which includes categorizing people we don’t know according to group membership. We then attribute to these individuals the stereotypes associated with their group. This does not require animus; it requires only knowledge of the stereotype. Importantly, implicit bias, like explicit bias, can produce discriminatory actions. Research has found that implicit bias impacts all of us, with specific studies showing bias manifesting among members of various professional groups, such as doctors, other health professionals, medical students, educators, judges and prosecutors. How might implicit bias manifest in law enforcement settings? In practice, implicit bias might lead the line officer to automatically perceive crime in the making when she observes two young Hispanic males driving in an all-Caucasian neighborhood. It may manifest among agency command staff who decide (without crime-relevant evidence) that the forthcoming gathering of African American college students bodes trouble, whereas the forthcoming gathering of Caucasian undergraduates does not. Moving beyond racial and ethnic biases, implicit bias might lead an officer to be consistently “over vigilant” with males and low-income individuals and “under vigilant” with female subjects or people of means. Where there is a crash with two different versions of what happened, implicit bias might lead the officer to believe the Caucasian man in the white shirt and tie driving the BMW as opposed to the Hispanic teenager in jeans driving a pick-up truck. So the bad news is that prejudice remains widespread and manifests outside of conscious awareness, even in those of us who eschew, at a conscious level, prejudices and stereotypes . The good news, however, comes from the large body of research that has identified how individuals can reduce their implicit biases or, at least, ensure that their implicit biases do not affect their behavior. Indeed, a key FIP theme is that we all harbor implicit biases, but we can become conscious of them and actively work to ensure those biases don’t impact on behavior. 15 Promoting Fair & Impartial Policing Page 3 PROMOTING FA IR & IMPARTIAL POLICING: A SCIENCE-BASED PERSPECTIVE Fair & Impartial Policing®: The Training Curricula The original FIP curricula greatly benefited from the expertise of a distinguished national Curriculum Design Team (CDT) comprised of experts in the area of biased policing, police executives, first-line supervisors, officers, and community stakeholders. Additionally, and importantly, social psychologists from around the nation who conduct research on human biases were members of this team. The curricula were revised in 2018 to (1) reflect updates in the science of bias, (2) add coverage of new forms of bias (e.g., confirmation bias, attention bias), and (3) enhance media and engagement components. The FIP courses receive very strong reviews because (a) our trainers are current or retired sworn law enforcement; (b) our curriculum is successful at reducing the very understandable resistance that trainees bring into a course on “biased policing”; and (c) our curriculum conveys scientific concepts in an accessible manner; is engaging; and emphasizes real-life application of concepts and skills. The core content of all of our courses are:  The nature of (and scientific evidence for) implicit biases;  How implicit biases can impact a person in his/her professional capacity;  The consequences of biased decisions/behavior; and  Skills to reduce and manage implicit biases. We have incorporated the core content into various courses customized for different audiences. We have specific courses for (a) various categories of sworn personnel, (b) civilian staff, and (c) community members. We believe that a customized curriculum works best as it highlights situations and responses unique to a particular group of trainees, increasing the likelihood that individuals will connect with the science and see themselves within the scenarios presented during the training. Below we describe our 2018 Basic curricula for sworn personnel. We also describe several new products. For FIP agencies (i.e., agencies that have implemented the basic courses) we have “Refresher TOTs” for your FIP trainers and “Booster Training” for your patrol officers and supervisors. We also have new courses designed for civilian personnel and community members. The Basic Courses for Sworn Personnel For sworn personnel the curricula are customized for these audiences: Patrol Officers (the Patrol Officers’ curricula may also be used to train academy recruits with specialized exercises designed specifically for recruits) First-Line Supervisors Mid-Managers Command-level Personnel (or Command Personnel and Community Leaders) Trainers 16 Promoting Fair & Impartial Policing Page 4 PROMOTING FA IR & IMPARTIAL POLICING: A SCIENCE-BASED PERSPECTIVE The curricula for both patrol officers (to include recruits) and first-line supervisors consist of four modules: Module 1: Introduction to Fair & Impartial Policing Module 2: Understanding Human Bias Module 3: The Impact of Biased Policing on Community Members and the Law Enforcement Organization Module 4 (Patrol): The Skills for Promoting Fair & Impartial Policing Module 4 (First-Line Supervisors): Supervising for Fair & Impartial Policing The first three modules in the two curricula are very similar–merely customized in language and exercises for the target audiences. The fourth module of each curriculum teaches the specific skills needed for that audience. The 8-hour training program for patrol officers and academy recruits helps these individuals to:  Understand that even well-intentioned people have biases;  Understand how implicit biases impact on what we perceive/see and can (unless prevented) impact on what we do;  Understand that fair and impartial policing produces just, safe, and effective policing; and,  Use tools that help him/her (1) recognize his/her conscious and implicit biases, and (2) reduce and manage biases. Overwhelmingly participants have reported that the training has changed their perspectives and that the training had practical application to their day-to-day work. Participant feedback on the exercises and videos range from “great” to “awesome.” As one participant who was returning to the job after being off for several years wrote, “I had [been impacted by stereotypes/biases] as an officer but did not know it until now. I could have used you guys back in 1995!” Other comments from trainees include:  “I am going to work in a very diverse environment and feel this training has helped me learn how to attempt to be unbiased towards situations I may encounter.”  “I will go into each situation with this training in the back of my head.”  “Absolutely (I will be able to apply the information and skills to my job). I felt that all the information was related to our jobs and how society relates to these issues as well.”  “We were told we were going to ‘racial profiling’ class all day and, to be honest, that already put me off–thinking it was going to be the same stuff we always get. I was very, very surprised and happy to receive this training today.”  “I learned what ‘implicit bias’ means and understand its effects on me, decisions I make and community perceptions of officers.”  “Well presented. Most relevant discussions on topic of race relations I have heard in 14 years.” 17 Promoting Fair & Impartial Policing Page 5 PROMOTING FA IR & IMPARTIAL POLICING: A SCIENCE-BASED PERSPECTIVE  “(Strengths included) addressing everyone’s biases and not making it seem like a white guilt issue.” The 8-hour training program for first-line supervisors (e.g., sergeants) starts with the three modules described above and then:  Addresses how to identify subordinates who may be acting in a biased manner , including those well-meaning officers whose biased behavior may not be consciously produced;  Provides guidance to supervisors on how they should respond to officers who exhibit biased policing behaviors;  Challenges supervisors to think about how bias might manifest in their own behavior; and  Provides guidance on how to speak internally and externally about bias, biased policing, and the agency’s efforts to promote fair and impartial policing . Key to the supervisory training is helping supervisors identify the appropriate response to biased behavior, which can be challenging. Not only is biased behavior very difficult to prove, but, for the officers whose biased behavior is not intentional or malicious, “disciplinary” action would be inappropriate. Since, in many instances, there will only be “indications” and not “proof,” it is important to convey when and how supervisors can intervene to stop what appears to be inappropriate conduct while keeping in mind the ambiguous nature of the evidence as well as the sensitive nature of the issue. First-line supervisors who have participated in the training report that they now have a new perspective for thinking about how bias (not just racial bias) might manifest in their own decision- making as well as that of their officers. The comments indicate that they emerge believing (some expressing surprise) that biased behavior can be unintentional and can manifest even in well - intentioned subordinates. Overwhelmingly, the participants report that they will be able to apply the information and skills from the training into their daily job as a supervisor. They report acquiring new tools for identifying when bias might be manifesting in their supervisees and new tools for intervening when they have concerns about subordinate behavior. Comments include:  “I will better recognize bias and be able to address it with officers.”  “Examples presented made me reflect on my personal behavior as well as behavior of my subordinates.”  “(I learned) how to deal with biases that we all have.”  “I will use this training and teach my squad.”  “Helped me realize my own biases and will help me to better train those officers working under my supervision.”  “One of the best classes of this type I have attended.”  “(Some of the most useful info included) the fact that bias can occur and the officer doesn’t even realize it.” 18 Promoting Fair & Impartial Policing Page 6 PROMOTING FA IR & IMPARTIAL POLICING: A SCIENCE-BASED PERSPECTIVE  “Good information that I didn’t know and great knowledge gained to take back to the people under me.” The 8-hour mid-managers’ curriculum is targeted toward individuals who are above the rank of first-line supervisor and below what might be considered “command staff” in an agency (e.g., Captains). Combining elements from the command-level and first-line supervisor curricula, this program:  Introduces trainees to the science of bias, including the science underlying mechanisms for reducing/managing biases;  Helps mid-managers identify and intervene with subordinates who may be acting in a biased manner;  Challenges mid-level managers to think about how bias might manifest in their own behavior;  Provides guidance on how to speak about bias to individuals (e.g., sergeants, officers, individual community members) and groups/media; and  Introduces the attendees to the elements of a comprehensive agency program to produce fair and impartial policing. Mid-managers who participated in the training provided very strong evaluations of the course. Comments include:  “The course provided a great deal of information on bias and was presented in a manner that made it easy to understand and apply.”  “An outstanding class teaching about fair and impartial policing and biased policing. Included the science behind it.”  “The strength of the course content and presentation were the e xamples of the results of studies that supported the concepts.”  “Gave me some eye-opening information. I used to be able to say I wasn’t biased; I can no longer say that. However, this course has now given me the opportunity to have an open conversation about this topic.”  “Presented in lay terms that was understandable.” There is a 1.5-day training program for the agency executive and his/her command-level staff. Alternatively, this training may be held with both command-level personnel and community leaders. This training covers the science of bias and its implications for policing. This training also includes the elements of a “comprehensive agency program to promote fair and impartial policing ” to include assessments of and reform in anti-biased-policing policy, recruitment and hiring, training, supervision and accountability, operations, leadership, measurement, and outreach to diverse communities. Agency (and community) leaders exit the training with an action plan for strengthening the agency’s efforts to promote fair and impartial law enforcement. 19 Promoting Fair & Impartial Policing Page 7 PROMOTING FA IR & IMPARTIAL POLICING: A SCIENCE-BASED PERSPECTIVE This training has received very strong reviews from both police and community leaders. Some comments include:  “It was very interactive and made me think. The resources and facts/examples were amazing.”  “Provided all views of a complex problem that will bring all sides to the table for worthy, meaningful conversations.”  “I am leaving the class with a new perspective on my own views and beliefs. I have a new awareness of bias-based policing within my own agency. The presentation of scientific data provided me with a more convincing argument that supported the existence of unintentional, but widespread racial bias, which I was typically quick to dismiss.”  “I obtained new ideas from the other students as well as from the instructor.”  “(Instructor) aggressively addressed difficult topics with facts and experience.” Additional comments reflecting the value of including community stakeholders include:  “Having law enforcement and community stakeholders in the room made for interactive and thought - provoking discussions.”  “Discussions enabled community and law enforcement to appreciate each other’s views.” A 2.0-day Training-of-Trainers (TOT) program is designed to enable instructors to implement both the patrol officers’ and the first-line supervisors’ training programs. This training “walks” participants through both the content and the training methodologies used throughout the Fair and Impa rtial Policing curricula and provides opportunities for participants to “practice” teaching the content. FIP instructors provide technical assistance, in small group workshops, on key concepts and techniques and provide critical assessments of participants’ training skills during their “teach backs.” Participants who complete the TOT will be certified and licensed to train the copyrighted FIP® curricula in their agencies or academies for a period of two years from date of certification. Upon completion of the TOT (with some follow-up self-study and practice), participants are able to implement both FIP curricula within their own agencies or academies. [Agencies can request that a national FIP trainer co-train with the agency’s TOT-trained trainers during early implementations. This co-training can enhance local trainer skills and facilitate quality control.] TOT participants will be able to:  Understand the social-psychological research on implicit bias and its implications for both patrol officers’ and first-line supervisors’ actions;  Discuss the impact of biased policing on community members and the law enforcement organization;  Discuss the knowledge and skills that patrol officers and supervisors need to promote fair and impartial policing; and  Demonstrate proficiency in using appropriate adult learning methods to support the training objectives and effectively present and debrief problem-based case scenarios. 20 Promoting Fair & Impartial Policing Page 8 PROMOTING FA IR & IMPARTIAL POLICING: A SCIENCE-BASED PERSPECTIVE Comments from previous TOT participants include:  “Excellent training—I cannot wait to present the material.”  “Critical area of training for police. Use of scientific approach is great.”  “Excellent blend of lecture, facilitation, team teaching, group exercises, and teach -back.”  “I enjoyed the class and look forward to instructing the classes.”  “Excellent training! The teach-backs were critically important.”  “I came to this class against my will. My mind was quickly changed from ‘this class is a waste of time’ to ‘why have I not had this class sooner in my 20 years of service?’ The instructors were great. I only hope I can communicate the importance of the class as well as they were able to.” Advanced Training for Agencies that Have Already Implemented Basic FIP Training There is a one-day “TOT Refresher” course for agencies/individuals who have previously experienced an FIP TOT and want to adopt the new 2018 curricula and/or refresh their skills. We have produced the Booster Training for officers and first-line supervisors who have already had the basic FIP course. Agencies might provide this course 18 months or 2 years after the initial FIP basic training. The core concepts from the basic FIP training are reviewed, but with new science, new forms of biases, and new applications presented. This training includes high-quality video scenarios that allow the participants to apply the key principles to common policing situations. New Courses Designed for Civilian Personnel and Community Members A new product is targeted toward community members. This training (designed for evening delivery)–that is available to agencies that have trained (or are training) their own personnel in FIP–allows the agency to convey to community members: (a) the science of implicit bias and how implicit biases might impact on both police officers and community members; (b) how they can recognize, reduce, and manage their own biases; and (c) what their local agency is doing to promote fair and impartial policing. Another new product is targeted toward civilians in the police agency. The course includes the same core content as the patrol and supervisor curricula, but is customized to apply the concepts to the work of crime analysts, dispatchers, administrative support staff, victim advocates, front desk aides, and any other civilian role. 21 Promoting Fair & Impartial Policing Page 9 PROMOTING FA IR & IMPARTIAL POLICING: A SCIENCE-BASED PERSPECTIVE Trainings: Lengths and Class Sizes All courses are capped at 30 individuals with the exception of the community curriculum, which can be implemented with up to 50 individuals.

The PIT Count provides self-reported data of the experiences and needs of people experiencing homelessness in our community. The Denton County Homelessness Data Dashboard is made possible through the collaboration of nonprofit partners in Denton County to uniformly identify, assess and prioritize our neighbors experiencing homelessness for available housing resources. The use of shared processes and a shared database allow us to analyze and improve Denton County’s Housing Crisis Response System. The dashboard is updated with monthly data throughout the year to make it as real time as possible. 28 •Christian Community Action •Denton County MHMR •Denton County Veteran Service Office •Giving Hope Inc. •Grace Like Rain •Interfaith Ministries •Metrocrest Services •Monsignor King Outreach Center •Next Steps –The Colony •Our Daily Bread •Recovery Resource Council •Salvation Army of Denton •Salvation Army of Lewisville •United Way of Denton County The Housing Crisis Response System (HCRS)is a network of agencies working together to preventhomelessnessandrapidlyreturnpeoplewhoareexperiencinghomelessnesstostablehousing.DentonCounty’s Housing Crisis Response System has multiple levels of collaboration,from quasi-governmentalpolicy-making to the boots-on-the ground support to assist those in need.

ALGA was founded in 1985 to serve auditors who specialize in working with local governments. ALGA members represent approximately 300 local government audit organizations. Unlike the majority of auditors who work within a single industry, local government auditors must work in an environment that encompasses a wide variety of industries. Local government auditors are committed to helping their governments improve service delivery to citizens while doing so more efficiently and effectively with the limited resources available. In making the award, the judges commented: Readers don’t have to travel far to reach their destination in this compelling audit of the City’s roadways. The cover page summarizes the key findings as smoothly as new pavement and effective illustrations, tables, and charts persuasively map out findings that resources appear to be used equitably throughout the City and that documentation of quality controls are lacking. The audit signaled which 3 recommendations were the highest priority, and also earned management’s agreement or partial concurrence on all 12 recommendations. To encourage increasing levels of excellence among local government auditors, ALGA created the Knighton Award in 1995 to recognize the best performance audit reports produced by local government audit shops in the previous year. Each year, local government audit organizations submit their best performance audit report to be evaluated against four criteria: (1) an audit scope that has the potential for significant impact, and is responsive to the needs and concerns of decision-makers and/or the public; (2) audit conclusions that are persuasive, logical, and firmly supported by the evidence, which was gathered using appropriate research methods and tools; (3) audit recommendations that are feasible, and will make government programs more effective and efficient; and (4) audit results that are communicated in a clear, concise way. Judges from peer organizations determined that the City of Denton, Internal Audit Department’s was among the best of 2019. Congratulations for receiving this award!
