Now in its second year of work with the city, EFIT has churned out four reports since November 2021. Their latest fourth quarterly report covers a timeframe from April 22, 2022, to August 5, 2022.

The new report suggests that APD’s use of force investigations are improving in terms of following the rules. As of the previous report, from last quarter, 44.45% of the investigations reviewed by EFIT were found to be “out of compliance” with what’s called a “process narrative.” A process narrative is essentially a roadmap for how investigators are expected to conduct their job or conduct an investigation.

The newest report shows there were fewer “out of compliance” investigations as of the fourth quarter report. The report states that roughly 1/3 of the investigations, or 33.51% of investigations reviewed by the EFIT, were found to be “out of compliance when evaluated against the process narrative.”
