The above chart is an 8-year comparison of the citizen complaints received from 2008 – 2015. Afterexperiencinghighsbetween2008and2009,thenumbersbegantotrenddownward. Moreover,between2008, which peaked at 1,736 cases received; and 2015, which peaked at 1,119 cases received, the OCIexperienceda35.5%decreaseinthetotalnumberofcomplaintsfiled. Thissignificantdecreasecouldbeattributed to a number of factors, including but not limited to police training and police/communityinitiatives; improved member adherence to policies and procedures set forth by the Department; OCI’sattemptstoeducatethecommunity,assistingtheminfullycomprehendingthepurposeoftheofficeanditsroleinthecommunity;orperhapsdeterrencefrommisconductthroughtheaccountabilitythatOCIprovidesbycompletingthoroughinvestigationsmoreexpeditiously.Whiletheexactvariableswhichdirectlyimpactareductionincasefilingsmayneverbefullydetermined,theDepartmentiscertainlytrendingintherightdirection.Historically,theobjectivehasbeentoreducethenumberofcitizencomplaintsfiled,whichintheory,wouldsuggest a correlation between OCI caseloads and member performance.
