5.SLCPD Chief Update (~10 minutes)
Lieutenant Andrew Cluff provided the update to commission on behalf of Chief Mike Brown.
-Diversity Trainers Selection Process

as they provided a great overview of what the trainings will entail.
o There are presentations upcoming which will be done by True Empowering
and Equality Utah. More updates will be provided as these occur.
-Full-time Recruiter
o HR has completed second interviews this past Monday and an offer has been
extended, but it is not confirmed if it was accepted yet.
-Community Meetings
o Latino Coalition meetings have started back up and have met twice so far.
Detective Hadlock is currently working with the NHPI and Refugee
community to get those meetings started.
o Moana Uluave-Hafoka will connect Commissioner Steven Johnson with
Detective Hadlock to discuss a partnership with Utah Black Chamber to host
a Black-specific community meeting.
6.5-Year Priorities Discussion (~ 25 minutes)
Equity Manager, Moana Uluave-Hafoka provided a high-level overview of the draft for the REP
Commission’s end of year report.
-Commissioner Steven Johnson recommends that personal engagement would be best
for building community in the forms of town halls/focus groups with a facilitator to
guide dialogue.
-Commissioner Steve Anjewjerden emphasizes as former law enforcement that it is
crucial for REP to host community meetings separate from SLCPD. His insight is for
REP to build the bridge between SLCPD and the community to feel comfortable to
have interactions. He adds that the more touch points on large and small scales are
important in gaining the community perspective and the broad message of their
expectations of SLCPD.
-A high priority in 2023 is to develop a subcommittee focused on
neurodiversity/sensory needs and the overlap it has with policing. This was supported
by Commissioners to include as it is a necessary aspect to consider.
7.Open Public Meetings Act and Ethics Training (~25 minutes)
Jaysen Oldroyd, Senior City Attorney, will lead annual training. Moana Uluave-Hafoka will share
documents with Commissioners regarding this training in a later email.
