Merit Appeals Board <br />September 30, 2020 <br />This got to be changed. The form got to be made available. It's got to be made accessible to the <br />public. They should know that they have a grievance procedure here that they can use. If you <br />had to bring something up on somebody or a police officer or whatnot—let's say, it's assault 30 - <br />seconds or anything else, you can't do it. It's impossible. That's why people give up. That's <br />not what the purpose of this is for. I'm only here because as a member of the public, I would <br />want whatever's available to them to be available `cause it's very little. <br />And this is not a cheap route to go. This is not cheap. So that cuts out 85 percent of the people <br />complaining. I'm done. You guys want to hear more? `Cause it's just a little bit more. All I'm <br />saying is—all I'm trying to tell you `cause there's nobody else here, yeah? All I'm trying to say <br />is if it's a grievance procedure, the public has to know where the form is. It has to be made <br />available. You don't go to the mayor's office and complain and have them send you a <br />complaint. <br />CHR. NAMAHOE: Mr. Shook, thank you very much. The comments that you made today, are <br />valid ones. What is—for the processes that are made available to the public, how do we access <br />those processes in a clear manner so that the variety of the public's individual skillsets that they <br />can still achieve the goal. Which is I know where to go, I know how to find it, I know how to be <br />smart I don't have to do things twice. Is that correct, sir? <br />MR. SHOOK: Thank you. Thank you for allowing me to (inaudible). What is the lady's name <br />that handles the Police Commission? <br />CHR. NAMAHOE: So, to that I cannot answer you. We can't answer you `cause we're a <br />different commission. <br />MR. SHOOK: The reason I bring that up is she is the one that directs. <br />CHR. NAMAHOE: So, I appreciate your time and I appreciate the comments that you made. <br />Would you say that we've accurately that we understand your major point— <br />MR. <br />oint <br />MR. SHOOK: Yes. <br />CHR. NAMAHOE: accurately? <br />MR. SHOOK: Yes. Yes. <br />CHR. NAMAHOE: So, I'm glad <br />MR. SHOOK: The form should be made available at HR, at the desk, on a counter, where if <br />somebody goes in and say, "I was assaulted. I was this, I was this" you can take this form right <br />here. It's right here. It's not made available. <br />Page 6 <br />
