key into during the process. We're going to
try to keep his presentation to 20-25 minutes
so that you can ask as many questions as
possible. And he is going to be available to
me and the Commission in order . . . between
now and our date of our report to update us
on what he is finding out as it goes along
the way. So I'm going to give the floor to
Mike. By the way, I've got his resume
attached and some graphs.
Bostic: Thank you again. First of all, Kathy and I
have been working very closely together since
John Spiegel and I had a call right from the
beginning and I feel very relaxed working
directly with the Commission and giving
everything that I can possibly give to the
Commission and I really appreciate this
working relationship. I just want to make
that clear. I have no problem with that at
all, and neither does the Chief. He's well
aware that I'm doing it.
The basic mission I was given by the Chief of
Police was to review all levels of training
within the Department, from basic recruit
training all the way up to the training of
the Chief of Police himself. People chuckle
when I say that, but yeah, we're doing that,
too. But our major focus of the training is
tactics, use of force, human relations and
technology. Those are the main four areas
that we're looking at for obvious reasons.
The Chief has given me total support of the
organization. I've had a basic blank check
from the time I've started. Any personnel
that I specifically wanted from the organization, I've been given. I have currently 38
people within the organization working for
me, doing all of these different areas. All
of these 9 functions that I'm going to talk
to you about are all going on simultaneously,
so I have supervisory staff responsible for
each of those areas as well as personnel from
the Department, that frankly, I personally
hand selected for two reason. Number one,
their ability to have some credibility within
the organization that will get the answers
that are needed, and number two, the ability
to allow the Chief of Police to see the
information before the newsmedia and the LA
Times do. Those were the two kinds of people
that I was looking for.
