Executive Summary and Methodology Sample Clauses

Executive Summary and Methodology. A brief description of the manner in which the interested party would fulfill the duties and responsibilities of the Monitor. We urge that candidates limit this discussion to 10 pages.

Executive Summary and Methodology. If selected, the Kroll team will work with the City and DOJ to develop a monitoring plan consistent with the terms of the Settlement Agreement, and provide technical advice and consultation. Thereafter, our team will oversee implementation of the agreement and order, assess the City’s compliance, report on the status of compliance to the parties and the Court, address any barriers to compliance with the parties, and work closely with the interested to resolve disputes or differences.

Executive Summary and Methodology. In reviewing the Settlement Agreement and related documents, several important points are clear: 1. While the impetus for the DOJ investigation may have been focused on use of force issues, the settlement is far broader and more comprehensive. Indeed, the nine substantive areas addressed in the Settlement Agreement reflect that policing, particularly in an urban setting, requires a community-based and holistic approach. 2. The Monitor’s role is appropriately limited and defined. We are mindful of the reasons for this carefully crafted provision. We are all too familiar with the “mission creep” that can occur with monitorships. This is not always the result of a monitor looking to expand its turf; often it is the police department and the community that looks to the monitor to operate the department. This is a mistake and serves to undermine the driving purpose behind the settlement -- to insure that the Albuquerque Police Department (APD) operates in an effective and constitutional manner. This is not a short term goal and can only be accomplished if the APD plays its rightful role, albeit with the assistance of an independent monitor. 3. The monitor must be truly independent and earn the respect and confidence of all parties. There is the need for an honest and independent view to assess the implementation, provide certain technical assistance, and keep the APD, the Court, and the larger community informed. 4. The reforms must be tailored to work for Albuquerque. Both Xxx Xxxxx and Xx Xxxxx, as well as the team they have assembled, are deeply rooted in the Boston law enforcement experience, which has served as a national model for community-based policing. We will bring that experience to Albuquerque, with the assistance of an exceptional team. But, we will not adopt an off-the-shelf approach. 5. The notion of community involvement and support is not just a throwaway. It is a bed rock principle that permeates the Settlement Agreement and effective policing. Training, merit recruitment, hiring, professionalism, state of the art policies, and transparency are all required to earn that support. 6. The monitor team is expected to do its job effectively and independently; but it must do so efficiently. The monitor team has to be mindful that its fees and expenses are paid with taxpayer dollars. With these basic points in mind, we expect to approach the monitorship as follows:
