Hawaii Police Commission Regular Session Minutes March 8, 2024 Page 9 by phone or online? Chief Moszkowicz related that they are in the middle of taking their 23-year-old website and redeveloping it, and they hope to go live in the next 3-4 months. They are also developing a separate system that will allow for online reporting for categories where an officer does not need to show up, i.e., abandoned vehicles, house checks, theft with no suspect. It's not that they don't want to respond, but it will help the priority list. Recess was called at 10.28 a.m., the meeting reconvened at 10.36 a.m. UNFINISHED BUSINESS • Review and discuss the Police Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure with a focus pertaining to internal and external complaints. Chair Robinson stated that this failed to advance since it's been a challenging five months in replacing staff and will be put on the next agenda. • Commissioner Bertsch related that there was an email sent out at the September or October meeting by Deputy Corporation Counsel Frenz that would be beneficial for the onboarding commissioners. Maybe Chair Robinson can redistribute that email to all the commissioners to have meaningful discussions. Deputy Corporation Counsel Frenz was also going to provide us with some groundwork in regards to "P.I.G." It was motioned and voted to form that group. We now need to initiate and institute the action, and they will wait for Deputy Corporation Counsel Frenz to provide information. NEW BUSINESS • Nomination of Chair and Vice Chair for Police Commission 2024. Commissioner Bertsch motioned to nominate Rick Robinson for a second term. Seconded by Commissioner Ing, with no discussion, it carried unanimously. Commissioner Quartararo motioned to nominate John Bertsch for Vice Chair. Seconded by Commissioner Ing, with no discussion, it carried unanimously. • Correspondence No. 24-01: Hawaii Police Department's Annual Misconduct Report to State Legislature. Chief Moszkowicz explained that this report to the State Legislature is required by law. As a matter of practice they forward it to the Police Commission as well as post it on their website. Police officers are the only group that are required to submit this report to the legislature. Commissioner Quartararo asked to define disciplinary transfer. Per Chief Moszkowicz a disciplinary transfer is when a person is removed from their current assignment and reassigned to the same rank somewhere else within the Police Department.
