Facts. CDCR should be able to allow communication between Officers and Management. Current policy says Officers may not speak about the CDCR on or off duty, via social media. Create a portal for Officers to submit suggestions. The CDCR should seriously consider current tactical plans. Jujitsu should be seriously considered. Code 1 response teams should have a designated officer with leg irons. Gang Management is paramount. All Officers Sergeant’s and Lieutenant’s should be trained on Incident Management, including writing and completing all reports and graded. Time to really get control over the trouble makers and display leadership , professionalism and regain confidence in our CDCR.
