Question: Why is the Jordan Baker police report is not available?

Chief McClelland: in general by state law, the first page is all that is public in any police report. There are a few exceptions to that rule but I can't release it by state law. 

Question: Can you review your process so judges can call deaf and hard of hearing interpreters to court?

DA Anderson: When I was a judge we had a pool of interpreters to call upon. Nothing should happen in the process until an interpreter arrives. We have equipment also to help with that. I will make sure the court administration knows about this. 

Question: is filing a complaint the only way we can get justice?

Chief McClelland: no it's not. I said we are not perfect. But I need to know what is going on. If it needs to be forwarded to the DA's office then we will. 

Regarding Jordan Baker, we investigated that case, the DA's office investigated that case, and I sent it to the FBI before citizen's asked. Not once was an indictment sent back.

Question: An officer with over 21 complaints was reinstated by arbitration; how can citizens appeal that?

Chief McClelland: the process and procedures that an officer is under regarding complaints is state law. One of the rights is to appeal the discipline decision by arbitrator. If the arbitrator upholds my decision, the officer stays fired. Or the arbitrator could reverse it and they could get their job back. It is binding and their is no appeal. 

Question: Minorities are twice as likely to be pulled over? Does this show a problem with racial profiling?

Chief McClelland: We keep data on all of our traffic stops including racial information. That is sent to city council and the state. If an officer is assigned to a predominately black neighborhood, they will stop more black drivers just based on the neighborhood they work.

We do not have a perfect department. I know there are some who will break the rules but I don't believe it is a wide spread problem. 

Question: Where can we see accountability of use of force complaints?

Chief McClelland: if there is a sustained case of misuse of force (excessive force) then you're fired. One time; there is no second chance.

We make our complaints public. We send them to the media. We will put them on our web site.

Question: What is difference in traffic stops? (one stop was let go, another was searched and place in the patrol car)

Chief McClelland: I cannot speak to the traffic stops because I am only hearing your side of it. If you file a complaint then we can hear the officer's side and any other witnesses. At the end you will be given a notice of the disposition. 

It would be unfair for me to speculate. I was not on the scene. 

I invite you to show me the video personally.
