Linder Report Ac2on Recommenda2ons Ac2on 9 – Priori4ze on arres4ng “worst of the worst” felons. • The Cincinna< Ini<a<ve to Reduce Violence (CIRV) has focused enforcement and preven<on ac<vi<es on gang and group members who engage in the most violent ac<vi<es. • District personnel and the Vice Unit target repeat violent offenders as well. • There is a need for the Department to be involved in decisions concerning the release of prisoners who have had a serious propensity to reoffend. Ac2on 10 – Assign one VCS officer to Major Offenders Unit for 60-‐day rota4ons. • This has not been implemented. The reason is not clear. • There appears to be agreement that a rota<on plan for the department would be beneficial for officer development. Ac2on 11 – Track warrants and document inves4ga4ve ac4ons to record progress. • This has been completed and is done by SOFAST and District inves<ga<ve units. Ac2on 12 – Implement program to have inves4gators interview and debrief subjects arrested for guns, drugs, and violent crime charges. • This prac<ce is rou<nely done by the arres<ng officers and inves<gators on significant arrests. • The na<onal best prac<ce – an inves<gator separate from the arres<ng or case inves<gator interviewing arrestees – will be considered in the future. • The prac<ce can be greatly increased in the future.
