I found this last night, just googling around a bit. It's a little more about PERF, and offers nothing more than a bit of information about Wexler, who was on those PERF-city conference call, as well as a glimpse at how our "national security" apparatus was/is getting more and more friendly with our campuses, or some campuses, or THESE campuses:
re PERF:
Reports of at least a dozen cities and some indication of as many as 40 accepting PERF advice and/or strategic documents include
San Francisco, Seattle, New York, Portland, Oakland, Atlanta, and Washington DC. The San Francisco Police Department and Mayor Ed Lee's
office did not returned the Guardian's request for comment about the PERF calls by press time. However, Oakland interim
Police Chief Howard Jordan was quoted by the Associated Press confirming Oakland and San Francisco police involvement
in the strategy sessions. PERF coordinated a November 10 conference call with city police chiefs across the country –
and many of these cities undertook crackdowns shortly afterward.

Founded in 1977, the organization currently performs
research funded mainly through government contracts with
the Department of Homeland Security and donations from companies such as Motorola and Lockheed-Martin. PERF runs
its police executive training course, SMIP, on the Boston University campus each summer, with professors from
Harvard's Kennedy School of Government teaching courses in leadership, crisis management, and organizational theory.
Its board of directors includes police chiefs from across the country.
While in Boston, he got to know two-time PERF Board President William Bratton, who once served as Boston
Police Commissioner under former governor Mitt Romney and now serves, like Wexler, as an appointee to the
Homeland Security Advisory Council. He is also a friend of longtime PERF Member-at-Large and Boston Police
Commissioner Ed Davis.
