M E M O R A N D U M Mayor and City Council Members Farah Muscadin, Director, Office of Police Oversight Brion Oaks, Chief Equity Officer Kerry O’Connor, Chief Innovation Officer November 16, 2020 TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Joint Report: Analysis of Austin Police Department’s 2019 Racial Profiling Data In January 2020, the Office of Police Oversight, Equity Office, and Office of Innovation released the inaugural Joint Report: Analysis of APD Racial Profiling Data. That report analyzed racial disparity in APD motor vehicle stop data from 2015-2018 and provided recommendations. This current Joint Analysis of Austin Police Department’s Racial Profiling Report provides analysis of how various ethnic and racial groups experience motor vehicle stops in 2019. The 2019 data has shown that racial bias in traffic stops continues to persist, and in some instances worsen. The report is now available on the Office of Police Oversight’s website. Strategic Direction 2023 indicators in the Safety outcome include the fair administration of justice, which challenges our City to ensure that our enforcement and justice processes are accountable, fair, equitable, impartial and transparent. To achieve Strategic Direction 2023, comply with the direction provided in Resolution 50, and align with the Reimagining Public Safety framework, this report offers analysis and recommendations to address racial/ethnic disproportionality in motor vehicle stops to become more transparent, just, and solution-based. The 2019 data shows that: • Data from 2019 reveals that racial disparity in motor vehicle stops is still a pervasive problem, with Black/African Americans being the most overrepresented of all racial/ethnic groups in Austin. o Black/African Americans made up approximately 8% of Austin’s voting age population, but experienced 14% of motor vehicle stops, 25% of stops resulting in searches, and 25% of stops resulting in arrests. • APD vehicle stop data from 2019 also revealed a geographic disparity in warnings, field observations, and arrests. o Warnings and field observations were most concentrated on the west side of the city, while arrests were most concentrated on the east side of the city. Page 1 of 2 • In 2019, Black/African Americans and Hispanic/Latinos were overrepresented in motor vehicle stops by 6% and 2%, respectively, while White/Caucasians were underrepresented by 6%, and Asians were underrepresented by 3%. o While there was a 1% decline in the overrepresentation of Black/African Americans in motor vehicle stops from 2018 to 2019, the Black/African American driving population had two times more motor …

20210104-002: COVID and Public Safety Employees Workers Comp — original pdf
PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20210104-002 Date: Subject: January 4, 2021 Motioned by: Seconded by: Background facts: Rebecca Webber Rocky Lane COVID+ public safety personnel who can qualify for workers compensation benefits should receive HR support so that they receive a full measure of those benefits. --33% of ATCEMS COVID+ medics have received workers compensation benefits. --72% of APD COVID+ officers have received workers compensation benefits. --ATCEMS has adopted a presumption that medics who test positive WERE NOT exposed at work. --APD adopted the opposite presumption: that COVID+ officers WERE exposed at work. --ATCEMS employs a single HR staff person to assist injured medics with their workers compensation applications. This staff person is also tasked with assisting medics with their FMLA paperwork. --APD has two full-time employees assisting injured police officers to obtain the workers compensation benefits that they are entitled to receive. Recommendation: We recommend that the City Council direct the City Manager ensure that all front-line public safety personnel obtain the full measure of workers compensation benefits to which they are entitled. The following policies should be enacted as soon as possible: 1. All three public safety departments should adopt a presumption that a COVID+ employee was injured at work [note that APD has already adopted this policy]. 2. All three departments (but especially EMS) should be given additional HR resources to assist employees with the complicated process of obtaining workers compensation benefits. All public safety employees interacting with the public on the job should be made aware by HR that they CAN and SHOULD apply for workers compensation benefits as soon as they become COVID+. After that, all employees who choose to apply should be supported throughout the process. 3. The Human Resources Department should immediately undertake oversight of this process to ensure that all of Austin’s front-line public safety personnel are treated fairly and equitably as they continue to risk COVID exposure every day on the job. Vote: For: Unanimous (Commissioner Rebecca Gonzales, Rebecca Webber, Rocky Lane, Rebecca Bernhardt, Kathleen Hausenfluck, Nelly Ramirez, Michael Sierra-Arevalo and Daniela Nunez Against: zero Abstain: zero Absent: Commissioner William (Bill) Kelly Attest: [Staff or board member can sign] __________________________________
