search for a serial rapist in Ann 
Arbor. He said no improper police 
conduct occurred then either.

“(The shooting) was tragic for 

Ms. Rosser, the officer involved, as 
well as all who care about either of 
them,” Baird wrote. “It was tragic 
for the community as a whole. 
However, it was a completely jus-
tified and reasonable response to 
the situation the officers encoun-
tered that day.”

Baird also refuted assertions by 

the HRC report that AAPD lacks 
transparency in handling com-
plaints against officers. In 2014, 
38 complaints were brought by 
citizens against AAPD officers, 
with 10 being sustained follow-
ing investigation. In 2015, 30 such 
complaints were made and four 
sustained.

Baird noted he has personally 

initiated complaints against his 
own officers based on anonymous 
information on social media.

“I have personally initiated 

complaints 
against 
unknown 

employees for information posted 
on social media sites,” he wrote. 
“The Ann Arbor Police Depart-
ment has routinely demonstrated 
that they have earned … trust.”

While supporting the recom-

mendation of an independent 
auditor for his department, Baird 
argued there is insufficient evi-
dence to support the other provi-
sions of the HRC report, and he 
suggested a premature implemen-
tation would undermine his offi-
cers. However, he remained open 
to reconsidering his position fol-
lowing the review results.

“Because 
the 
commission’s 

report blends the national discus-
sion with the Rosser incident, I 
have concern that there may be 
an appetite to address national 
issues and concerns with local 
policy,” Baird wrote. “To presume 
that the Ann Arbor Police Depart-
ment’s practices are not ‘positive’ 
and that a review board is the best 
way to ‘ensure future adherence’ 
absent any supporting reference is 
ill advised.”

Stambaugh also agreed with 

Baird that AAPD has consistently 
performed 
professionally, 
but 

she argued this does not make 
increased civilian oversight unrea-
sonable.

Stambaugh noted that numer-

ous cities similar to Ann Arbor — 
including Austin, Texas — already 
have civilian oversight boards in 
place that are similar to the one 
recommended by the HRC.

“(Baird) 
simply 
thinks 
his 

police department is very good, 
and it is very good comparatively, 
but the police should not be polic-
ing themselves,” Stambaugh said. 
“We didn’t say the police depart-
ment is awful. We said this would 
improve overall community-police 
trust.”

City councilmember Graydon 

Krapohl (D–Ward 4), who also 
served on the HRC, said the term 
“oversight” can be misconstrued 
as critical of the police department 
when the actual goal is to foster 
better communication between 
the police and community.

“Oversight is a difficult word 

to use,” he said. “We’re looking to 
form a possible group to create bet-
ter community and police interac-
tion to ensure we eliminate those 
gaps that exist in understanding 
both ends of the spectrum.”

Krapohl believes a consensus 

that would be agreeable to both 
Baird and the community can be 
found, saying Baird is still fun-
damentally in favor of improving 
community relations.

“I think (Baird) doesn’t like the 

(oversight committee) idea, but 
he’s not — from my conversations 
with him — opposed to a more 
interactive committee or group 
that again shares information and 
looks to how to create a better 
understanding between the police 
committee and the community 
they serve,” Krapohl said.

However, some residents have 

been skeptical of the HRC’s efforts 
since 2015, arguing the recom-
mendations will not impose suf-
ficient transparency on AAPD. 
Some also expressed worry that 
the proposed oversight board will 
be turned into a rubber-stamp 
body once council formalizes its 
powers to appease the AAPD and 
its police officer union.

Shirley Beckley, an Ann Arbor 

resident of the past 74 years, said 
the public’s ability to ask ques-
tions and give input at public 
forums regarding police reform 
was severely limited in 2015, and 
she is ultimately pessimistic as to 
whether meaningful change will 
pass. Beckley added she is also 
skeptical of Mayor Christopher 
Taylor’s commitment to meaning-
ful reform, noting all HRC mem-
bers are appointed by the mayor.

“You don’t have a forum to talk 

about police brutality … and not 
allow your community to freely 
talk,” Beckley said, pointing to 
questions at forums that had to 
be written in advance and chosen 
by moderators. “We can piss and 
moan all we want, but I don’t think 
we’re going to get anywhere.”
