SAN FRANCISCO — Oakland officials have met a federal judge's deadline for submitting a plan outlining how the police department intends to conduct internal investigations stemming from last fall's Occupy protests.
City spokeswoman Karen Boyd said a draft proposal was submitted Monday to a court-appointed monitor who has been tracking the police department's reforms as part of a settlement in a 2003 brutality lawsuit.
The Oakland City Council is scheduled to review the plan in closed session on Thursday, and Boyd says it would not be made public before then.
The monitor, Robert Warshaw, criticized the department last week for failing to properly prepare for the Occupy protests.
City leaders say said the department lacks the personnel to investigate the more than 1,000 complaints it has received about officers' actions during the protests and will contract out the probes.
