Police Operations and Data Analysis Report, Morgan Hill, California

MHPD staff must continue its diligence to maintain compliance with prisoner safety checks.
Efforts should be made to improve compliance with the annual performance evaluation
requirement to ensure personnel are kept abreast of their performance status and
documentation is available should performance-related administrative action be required.
Supervisors should accompany injured employees seeking initial medical
treatment/evaluation to the treating facility when such treatment is provided at a city-
contracted facility. The supervisor should consult with the treating physician and discuss
with them the availability of temporary modified duty assignments as defined above to
assist in determining if such work can be performed where available.
In the event that an injured worker is found to be temporarily disabled and will be on a lost-
time status, his or her first-line supervisor should be in weekly contact with the employee to
ensure that his or her needs are being met, as well as to provide encouragement for a
speedy recovery.
CPSM staff would like to thank the city and police administrations of Morgan Hill for their
assistance in completing this project. In particular, CPSM commends Police Chief David Swing for
his willingness to open the department to review as well as his cooperation and enthusiasm in
ensuring a successful assessment effort. We would also like to acknowledge Sergeant Ray Ramos,
who coordinated the delivery of documents and served as the point of contact for CPSM requests
and scheduling needs. This was no small task. Over the past several months he graciously
responded to each and every request from CPSM staff, and this project could not have been
completed without his cooperation and assistance. Lastly, we acknowledge that our work
necessarily disrupted the normal duties of so many staff at the police department and wish to
express our appreciation for their cooperation and professionalism.
