THEY HAD WORKING NEXT TO EACH OTHER, EXCHANGING OPINIONS AND CONCERNS.

>> Reporter: YOU REMEMBER LAST YEAR THE FORMER SCHOOL BOARD FIRED THE PREVIOUS SUPERINTENDENT FOR MAKING RACIALLY CHARGED COMMENTS.

DR. WARD APOLOGIZED SEVERAL TIMES SPEAKING PUBLICLY AND TO THE MEDIA ABOUT HER MISTAKE.

SHE SPOKE WITH US LAST SPRING BEFORE SHE WAS LET GO IN JUNE.

>>> A NEW STATE LAW REQUIRES LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENTS TO RELEASE SOME POLICE MISCONDUCT RECORDS.

WE WOULD LIKE TO GIVE YOU A WARNING THAT THIS STORY CONTAINS GRAPHIC SOUNDS AND IMAGES.

>> Reporter: IT STARTED AS A SIMPLE 911 CALL ABOUT THREE YOUNG PEOPLE BEING DRUNK IN PUBLIC OUTSIDE THE SAN CARLOS REC CENTER IN AUGUST OF 2017.

>> COME HERE.

ACCORDING TO AN INTERNAL AFFAIRS INVESTIGATION THE CALL ENDED WITH ONE YOUNG MAN GETTING A BLOODY LIP FROM HAVING HIS FACE SMASHED INTO A POLICE VEHICLE.

THE OTHER IN THE BACK OF THE POLICE CAR COVERED IN PEPPER SPRAY.

AT ONE POINT THE OFFICER GRABBED THE YOUNG MAN BY THE NECK, A VIOLATION OF DEPARTMENT POLICY.

>> STANDSTILL.

>> Reporter: THE VIDEO WAS MADE PUBLIC BECAUSE OF A NEW STATE LAW AIMED AT SHINING A LIGHT AT POLICE MISCONDUCT RECORDS.

TRANSPARENCY LAWS USED TO BE A BLACK HOLE.

>> HISTORICALLY, CALIFORNIA IS ONE OF THE LEAST TRANSPARENT STATES ON RECORD ABOUT LAW ENFORCEMENT OPERATIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS AND MISCONDUCT AND USE OF FORCE.

>> Reporter: THAT IS THE LEGAL DIRECTOR OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT COALITION.

HE SAID THE STATE LAW IS TRYING TO CHANGE THAT.

CALIFORNIA POLICE AGENCIES ARE REQUIRED TO PUBLISH RECORDS ON SEVERAL CATEGORIES OF POLICE MISCONDUCT INCLUDING DISCRIMINATION AND EXCESSIVE FORCE.

THEY ONLY NEED RECORDS WHEN OFFICERS DID SOMETHING WRONG.

DESPITE THE PROGRESS CALIFORNIA STILL LAGS BEHIND OTHER STATES WHEN IT COMES TO TRANSPARENCY.

>> WE STILL HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO TO MATCH THE STANDARDS OF OTHER STATES THAT ARE MUCH MORE TRANSPARENT AND ACCOUNTABLE.

>> Reporter: THEY RELEASED RECORDS FOR 93 CASES, BUT ONE THIRD DO NOT CONTAIN DISCIPLINARY RECORDS.

THIS CASE IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THAT.

MAN.

>> I AM NOT EVEN DOING ANYTHING.

>> Reporter: INVESTIGATORS SAY HE GRABBED THE MAN BY THE NECK AND THREW HIM TO THE GROUND EVEN THOUGH HE WAS HANDCUFFED AND NOT RESISTING.

AND HE WAS SITTING IN THE BACK OF THE PATROL CAR, HE WAS DOUSED WITH PEPPER SPRAY FROM DOUBLE THE RECOMMENDED DISTANCE OF THREE FEET.

HE ALSO DID NOT OFFER MEDICAL ATTENTION.

HE STAYED ON THE FORCE UNTIL 2019 WHEN HE WAS ARRESTED FOR FELONY ASSAULT WORK HE COULD NOT BE REACHED FOR CONDON.

HE WAS HE HAD BEEN GOING THROUGH TURBULENT PERSONAL SITUATION WITH HIS WIFE AND THE MOTHER OF HIS CHILD WHICH MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO HIS STATE OF MIND AT THE TIME.

THE POLICE CAPTAIN OVERSEES THE RECORDS DEPARTMENT AND WOULD NOT DO AN INTERVIEW.

HE SAID THE DEPARTMENT ONLY KEEPS DISCIPLINARY RECORDS FOR THREE YEARS AFTER AN OFFICER LEAVES THE FORCE.

THAT OFFICER LEFT 3 1/2 YEARS AGO.

>> Reporter: THE RETIRED LA MESA POLICE CAPTAIN SAID IT IS A GOOD THING.

TRANSPARENCY HELPS TO BUILD TRUST.

>> IT'S NOT IN OUR BEST INTEREST TO HAVE A COP OUT THERE DOING BAD STUFF.

THAT IS A CANCER.

>> Reporter: HE NOW RUNS WELLNESS TRAINING SESSIONS.

HE SAID OFFICERS DO NOT KNOW HOW TO COPE WITH THE STRESS AND TRAUMA OF POLICE WORK WHICH LEADS THEM TO BE MORE IMPULSIVE AND AGGRESSIVE.

>> THEY ARE RESILIENT.

THEY ARE NOT WELL IN HEART MIND BODY AND SPIRIT.

THEY WILL NOT BE PROFESSIONAL OFFICERS.

>> THIS STORY WAS REPORTED BY A NONPROFIT PARTNER OF KPBS.

THE STEPS ARE BEING TAKEN AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL TO DEAL WITH THE RISING NUMBER OF FENTANYL DEATH.

>> Reporter: IT IS A SYNTHETIC OPIOID INTENDED TO HELP PATIENTS MANAGE SEVERE PAIN.

FENTANYL IS DRIVING A DRUG OVERDOSE CRISIS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

>> IT'S THE EQUIVALENT OF A NEW SEPTEMBER 11th EVERY TWO WEEKS.

>> Reporter: DATA FROM THE CDC REVEALING MORE THAN TWO THIRDS OF ALL OVERDOSE DEATHS ARE LINKED TO SYNTHETIC OPIOIDS LIKE FENTANYL LEAVING ALMOST NO COMMUNITY UNTOUCHED.

>> IT WAS SOMETHING THAT I HAVE HEARD OF BUT NOT SOMETHING I EVER WOULD'VE THOUGHT WOULD'VE KILLED OUR CHILD.

>> Reporter: THERE IS A NEW PUSH TO TARGET FENTANYL AND SIMILAR SUBSTANCES.

INCLUDING A PROPOSED BILL LABELING MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS FOREIGN TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS.

>> THIS IS A NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT.

UNTIL ALL IS A KILLER.

THE PEOPLE KILLING AMERICANS RESIDE OUT IN THE OPEN.

>> Reporter: SOME WHO HAVE LOST LOVED ONES ARE TAKING MATTERS INTO THEIR OWN HANDS.

>> I HAD NEVER HEARD OF FENTANYL BEFORE.

USE.

>> NOBODY ASKED FOR A ROBOT DOG .

NOBODY NEEDS A ROBOT DOG.

>> Reporter: IT NOT ONLY DREW FIRE FROM THE PUBLIC BUT COUNCIL MEMBERS ALSO OPPOSED IT.

>> HOW DOES ACCEPTING THIS MAKE THE CITY SAFER AND HOW IS IT PHYSICALLY RESPONSIBLE?

>> Reporter: THE IDEA WILL BE FOR THE TEAM TO USE THE ROBOT DOG.

CAN WALK OVER UNEVEN TERRAIN AND CAN LET POLICE SPEAK TO A SUSPECT THROUGH A SPEAKER SYSTEM.

IT WILL ALLOW US VISIBILITY INTO AREAS WE MAY NOT NORMALLY BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT THE HUMAN EYE OR AS WELL AS PLACING OFFICERS IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

FOR MAC SITUATION SUCH AS THOSE COUNCILMEMBER TRACY PARK LAID OUT.

>> LIKE ACTIVE SHOOTER AND HOSTAGE SITUATIONS.

>> Reporter: OTHERS HAVE USED THIS TOOL BUT IT RECEIVED BACKLASH AND WAS CANCELED BECAUSE IT RECEIVED SURVEILLANCE OF LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES.

>> THERE WAS NOT A WRITTEN POLICY ESTABLISHED IN NEW YORK.

>> Reporter: THE LAPD ALSO SAID THEY HAVE A DETAILED POLICY WRITTEN OUT THAT WITH SEVERELY LIMIT ITS USE.

SOME OF WHICH THE COUNCILMEMBER ALSO LAID OUT.

>> IT CANNOT BE USED FOR LETHAL PURPOSES.

IT CANNOT BE USED IN EVERY DAY PATROLS.

IT CANNOT BE USED FOR SURVEILLANCE.

>> Reporter: NOT ALL OF THEIR COLLEAGUES WERE CONVINCED.

OF FEAR IS THE LACK OF TRUST THAT SOME HAVE WITH POLICE.

>> THEY DO NOT HEAR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING.

THEY HEAR THE POTENTIAL OF HOW THIS CAN BE USED IN THE COMMUNITY.

>> THE CITY COUNCIL DECIDED TO DELAY THE DECISION TO GET THE POLICY IN PLACE AND ALLOW FOR MORE DISCUSSION.

>> Reporter: IT IS ALL HANDS ON DECK TO PLOW THE SNOW, CREWS ARE ALSO SETTING OUT SANDBAGS BECAUSE THE APPROACHING STORM COULD BRING HEAVY RAIN TO ELEVATIONS UP TO 8000 FEET.

THAT COULD TRIGGER A MASSIVE SNOW MELT EVENT.

THE SAME SCENARIO TOOK PLACE IN JANUARY 1997.

WARM RAIN ACCELERATED SNOWMELT.

THE RUNOFF CAUSED RIVERS AND CREEKS TO OVERFLOW TAKING OUT BRIDGES AND ROADS, DESTROYING HALF THE ACCOMMODATIONS IN THE PARK AND HALF THE CAMPGROUNDS.

2100 VISITORS WERE STRANDED.

THE PARK WAS CLOSED FOR TWO MONTHS.

>> I HEARD ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES SAY YOU KNOW YOU HAVE BEEN HERE A LONG TIME WHEN A 100 YEAR EVENT IS HAPPENING AGAIN.
