1
00:00:01,970 --> 00:00:04,410
Good evening, everyone, can y'all hear me?

2
00:00:04,570 --> 00:00:06,330
Good, good.

3
00:00:07,110 --> 00:00:09,430
Appreciate everybody coming out this evening.

4
00:00:09,990 --> 00:00:12,750
I'm chief to one person, a city of police department.

5
00:00:14,090 --> 00:00:16,910
With me this evening, I have acting deputy chief, Robert Liverotic.

6
00:00:19,610 --> 00:00:24,090
In the back, I have acting captain, John Knock, a corporate data revenue,

7
00:00:24,670 --> 00:00:25,890
Lieutenant Sean Swartz.

8
00:00:26,710 --> 00:00:30,310
And many of my staff have my public information, especially as Andre Jones,

9
00:00:30,310 --> 00:00:36,190
as well. So the purpose of this meeting is for me to provide first and update to the residents

10
00:00:36,190 --> 00:00:41,770
here in the city of Booey. And represented a non-contact officer involved shooting that we had

11
00:00:41,770 --> 00:00:48,170
on September 12th. We also had a weekly schedule community matters meeting that just happened

12
00:00:48,170 --> 00:00:53,550
to coincide with this night, because every month, if you don't know, since January, I hold a community

13
00:00:53,550 --> 00:00:59,590
matters meeting on the fourth Wednesday of every single month. So this meeting was already previously

14
00:00:59,590 --> 00:01:04,370
schedule, but I think it's important to provide an update to the community as

15
00:01:04,370 --> 00:01:10,070
released to where we are with the investigation and also the process that

16
00:01:10,070 --> 00:01:15,110
is being followed. So I will read the statement that I issue on Monday for those that

17
00:01:15,110 --> 00:01:21,350
may not have seen it when it's posted. And after that, a presentation will go

18
00:01:21,350 --> 00:01:26,530
through and take a few questions. We'll take a break at that point and then we

19
00:01:26,530 --> 00:01:29,550
we'll get back into the readily scheduled community matters meeting.

20
00:01:30,270 --> 00:01:34,030
I'm also want to acknowledge our Principal Deputy

21
00:01:34,030 --> 00:01:36,430
to our Honourable State to turn out

22
00:01:36,430 --> 00:01:37,690
as your brave boys, Jason Abbott,

23
00:01:37,690 --> 00:01:39,430
is here with us this evening as well,

24
00:01:40,130 --> 00:01:41,310
so I appreciate his attendance.

25
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,640
So I'm going to read the statement that I post it Monday.

26
00:01:50,420 --> 00:01:52,560
So it says Dear Booi Community Members,

27
00:01:53,420 --> 00:01:55,440
as part of my commitment to transparency,

28
00:01:56,300 --> 00:01:58,900
I am providing an update to our initial press release

29
00:01:58,900 --> 00:02:02,560
regarding the incident involving a buoy police officer on

30
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:07,180
Collington Road, Maryland, 1997, and out eastbound John Hanson Highway,

31
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,980
U.S. through 50, on the morning of September 12th, 2024.

32
00:02:12,300 --> 00:02:15,400
Sergeant Robert Warrington, a 12-year veteran of the city of

33
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:20,480
buoy police department, was on patrol in the area and stopped to assist with

34
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,740
what he thought was a driver stranded on the left shoulder of Collington Road.

35
00:02:24,740 --> 00:02:30,260
As Sergeant Warranton walked toward the vehicle, a man approached Sergeant Warranton coming

36
00:02:30,260 --> 00:02:33,200
from the opposite side of the street across the medium.

37
00:02:34,380 --> 00:02:39,180
During a brief discussion, the man walked past Sergeant Warranton heading toward the passenger

38
00:02:39,180 --> 00:02:45,300
side of the vehicle, for reasons that remain under investigation, Sergeant Warranton fired

39
00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:47,240
one round from his service weapon.

40
00:02:48,260 --> 00:02:52,080
No one was injured, but another vehicle driving by was struck.

41
00:02:52,860 --> 00:02:59,200
I know there are a lot of questions, still about what occurred, in the spirit of transparency,

42
00:02:59,700 --> 00:03:01,980
although no one was physically hurt.

43
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:06,300
We want to assure the buoy community that we take this matter very seriously.

44
00:03:07,580 --> 00:03:11,960
An active independent investigation is being conducted by the Prince George's County Police

45
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,960
Department, especially when investigated response team.

46
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,380
This investigated was initiated immediately after the incident.

47
00:03:19,380 --> 00:03:24,680
Sir, will present their findings directly to the Space Attorney's Office, who will decide

48
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,600
if criminal charges should be pursued.

49
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:32,880
The incident was recorded on both the N-Car camera and Sergeant Warren to his body-worn

50
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:33,380
camera.

51
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:39,220
After consultation with the Space Attorney's Office, the Boy Police Department will release

52
00:03:39,220 --> 00:03:42,860
this video to the public once the independent investigation has been concluded.

53
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:49,760
Sergeant Martin is on pay the administrative leave, the Maryland Police Accountability Act

54
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:56,960
of 2021, established statewide requirements for police accountability and discipline to ensure

55
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:02,260
consistency and uniformity throughout the state in these types of situations.

56
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,800
The first step being conducted now is a thorough criminal investigation.

57
00:04:07,500 --> 00:04:11,540
After the investigation, this case will also be reviewed by the Prince George's County

58
00:04:11,540 --> 00:04:16,440
citizens on the administrative charging committee. And those people have been pointed

59
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:21,600
by the county executive, Angela also works, which will make any disciplinary recommendations

60
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:28,140
based on the statewide police disciplinary matrix. I committed to transparency, keeping

61
00:04:28,140 --> 00:04:35,000
you informed, and ensuring a thorough and objective investigation. And what I go on to say is,

62
00:04:35,020 --> 00:04:39,600
I will discuss this at the next community matters meeting with just tonight of September 25,

63
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,900
of 6 to 8 p.m. down here in the chambers.

64
00:04:49,780 --> 00:04:53,160
I want to acknowledge how Mayor Tim Adams,

65
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,000
who just came in this evening, as well as Councilwoman

66
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:57,860
Wanda Rogers.

67
00:04:57,980 --> 00:05:00,160
I appreciate you all's attendance here this evening.

68
00:05:01,620 --> 00:05:04,580
So what I want to discuss this evening is we're going

69
00:05:04,580 --> 00:05:06,920
to go through where we are as it relates

70
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,040
to the Criminal Investigation process and the administrative

71
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,260
investigation that will ensue after that.

72
00:05:14,260 --> 00:05:17,960
The rest of the agenda is talking about the community matters,

73
00:05:18,220 --> 00:05:21,500
normal agenda, that we will discuss after, you know,

74
00:05:21,500 --> 00:05:22,700
I get through that process.

75
00:05:24,780 --> 00:05:28,020
So where we are now, this independent investigation is being conducted

76
00:05:28,020 --> 00:05:29,660
by the French Affairs County Police Department,

77
00:05:29,780 --> 00:05:32,920
13, that process is ongoing.

78
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,680
Once that is completed, that would be passed on to the State

79
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,100
to Attorney's Office for Action on their part

80
00:05:39,100 --> 00:05:42,220
to make a determination whether or not criminal charges

81
00:05:42,220 --> 00:05:43,720
will be pursued or not.

82
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:51,460
Okay, so we don't have a timeframe when that's going to complete it at this point, so but once we have that information,

83
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,840
I'm sure that that's information will be shared by the State's Attorney's Office at that point.

84
00:05:57,780 --> 00:06:01,500
And this is just a visual depiction of from the incident.

85
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:07,420
So the shooting incident occurred, it was passed along to the 13th for investigation.

86
00:06:07,420 --> 00:06:09,400
It goes to the State's Attorney's Office.

87
00:06:09,700 --> 00:06:16,240
It may go to the Grand jury who may issue an indictment or decide not to file charges.

88
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,600
So that is the process on the criminal side.

89
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:25,360
The administrative process was established by the Police Accountability Act of 2021.

90
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,280
Okay, so that law went to effect in 2021 and the establishment.

91
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:36,520
The PAD is also known as the Police Accountability Board, which oversees the administrative

92
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:43,460
budget committee. And then that process will be, you know, from the PAB oversight. Once we complete

93
00:06:43,460 --> 00:06:47,700
the investigation on this case, the Prince Joseph County Police Department completes the investigation

94
00:06:47,700 --> 00:06:53,420
will be submitted to the administrative charging committee of two determining of finally.

95
00:06:53,500 --> 00:06:57,440
And I'll get into more details in the slides. We'll numerate that later.

96
00:06:59,660 --> 00:07:00,680
So the law establishes

97
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,140
that each county in the state and Maryland shall have a police accountability board.

98
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,260
They employ civilian members to charge in committees and trial boards.

99
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:14,460
And these are people that are appointed by the executive, you know, and that's how those

100
00:07:14,460 --> 00:07:15,260
people are selected.

101
00:07:16,100 --> 00:07:19,960
They receive complaints to police, misconduct, filed by members of the public.

102
00:07:20,500 --> 00:07:25,440
And on a quarterly basis, review outcomes of disciplinary matters considered by charging committees.

103
00:07:27,740 --> 00:07:31,820
Each county show have one administrative charging committee to serve county-wide law enforcement

104
00:07:31,820 --> 00:07:35,260
agencies and local law enforcement agencies within the county.

105
00:07:35,260 --> 00:07:41,480
So the administrative charge and committee for Prince George's county, all police departments

106
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:46,740
and all municipalities and locations within Prince George's county are under the authority

107
00:07:46,740 --> 00:07:50,320
of the administrative charge and committee and the police accountability board for Prince

108
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:51,020
George's county.

109
00:07:51,500 --> 00:07:52,700
So there's no separate board.

110
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,420
So whether it's Prince George's county, police department, green bell, police, police, we all

111
00:07:57,420 --> 00:08:01,000
submit our cases to that's one governing board.

112
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:28,860
A county administrative charge and committee shall be composed of the chair of the county police accountability board or another member of the county accountability board designated by the chair of the accountability board before serving as a member of an administrative charging committee an individual shall receive training or all matters related relating to police procedures for the Maryland police training and standards commission and the Maryland police and training standards commission.

113
00:08:28,860 --> 00:08:33,080
They oversee certification of all police officers in the state of Maryland.

114
00:08:34,990 --> 00:08:39,570
On completion of a investigation of a complaint made by a member of the public against

115
00:08:39,570 --> 00:08:44,310
a police officer, the law enforcement agency shall forward to the appropriate administrative

116
00:08:44,310 --> 00:08:47,950
charging committee, the investigatory files for the matter.

117
00:08:49,110 --> 00:08:53,990
So what happens is individual departments, that in this case, but in a normal case if it was

118
00:08:53,990 --> 00:08:59,470
just a police misconduct case or allegation, we conduct the investigation in terms of conducting

119
00:08:59,470 --> 00:09:04,890
the interviews of the officers and come up with a determination of findings of fact.

120
00:09:05,190 --> 00:09:08,710
That would then be forwarded to the administrative charging committee who were reviewed

121
00:09:08,710 --> 00:09:15,190
that for completeness and objectivity, and then they will come up with a determination and I'll

122
00:09:15,190 --> 00:09:22,530
get into this in later slides. A weather and night, that case is sustained, meaning that the officer

123
00:09:22,530 --> 00:09:29,250
has found to be involved or guilty of that particular action and make recommendations of discipline.

124
00:09:29,470 --> 00:09:32,550
that would get me coming back to me as the chief of police to take a

125
00:09:32,550 --> 00:09:36,350
machine on. And that's explained further in some of the next slides.

126
00:09:37,910 --> 00:09:41,430
The committee can request information or action from a law enforcement agency

127
00:09:41,430 --> 00:09:45,650
that conducted the investigation including requiring additional deep

128
00:09:45,650 --> 00:09:49,810
investigation and the issuance of subpoenas that the police officer is not

129
00:09:49,810 --> 00:09:53,510
administrative recharge. They will make a determination that the allegations

130
00:09:53,510 --> 00:09:57,370
against the police officer are either unfounded, exonerated, administrative

131
00:09:57,370 --> 00:10:02,650
charge on that administrative charge. Those are the findings. They record and writing any

132
00:10:02,650 --> 00:10:08,070
failure of supervision and cost or contributed to a police officer's misconduct. So while the

133
00:10:08,070 --> 00:10:12,910
conduct may not be something in terms of becomes a violation, but if it's a training standard

134
00:10:12,910 --> 00:10:17,230
or something like that, we need to improve upon the make recommendations that we were didn't

135
00:10:17,230 --> 00:10:21,950
cooperate into our training standards to improve upon the performance in the future. The

136
00:10:21,950 --> 00:10:27,270
Maryland Police, Trady, and Standards Commission shall develop and adopt by regulation, a model

137
00:10:27,270 --> 00:10:31,910
uniform disciplinary matrix for use by each law enforcement agency in the state.

138
00:10:32,730 --> 00:10:38,450
So consistency in terms of discipline that is levied is consistent across the state, because

139
00:10:38,450 --> 00:10:43,310
that's been mandated by the Maryland Police Training and Standards Commission, and that

140
00:10:43,310 --> 00:10:45,330
is consistent across the state.

141
00:10:45,630 --> 00:10:49,230
Each law enforcement agency shall adopt the uniform state disciplinary matrix.

142
00:10:50,830 --> 00:10:56,530
With them 15 days after the administrative charging committee issues in the administrative charge against the police officer,

143
00:10:57,210 --> 00:11:02,270
the chief for the law enforcement agency, that should be me, shall offer a discipline to the police officer

144
00:11:02,270 --> 00:11:06,470
who has been a administratively charged in accordance with the disciplinary matrix.

145
00:11:07,230 --> 00:11:11,530
The chief may offer the same discipline that was recommended by the administrative charging committee

146
00:11:11,530 --> 00:11:16,470
or a higher degree of discipline with the implicable range of the disciplinary matrix,

147
00:11:16,470 --> 00:11:21,270
but may not deviate blow the discipline recommended by the administrative charge committee.

148
00:11:21,790 --> 00:11:25,210
So what that means is whatever they come back with in terms of the discipline is recommended.

149
00:11:25,770 --> 00:11:29,830
I can even offer that, or I can raise it, but I cannot go below what was recommended.

150
00:11:31,770 --> 00:11:34,710
If the police officer accepts the chief officer of discipline,

151
00:11:34,890 --> 00:11:37,410
then offer offer discipline shall be imposed.

152
00:11:38,010 --> 00:11:41,750
If the police officer does not accept the officer's offer discipline,

153
00:11:41,890 --> 00:11:44,270
then the matter shall be referred to a trial board.

154
00:11:44,270 --> 00:11:50,050
Each law enforcement agency shall establish a trial law board process to adjudicate matters

155
00:11:50,050 --> 00:11:52,230
for which a police officer is subject to discipline.

156
00:11:54,280 --> 00:12:00,480
The trial board shall be composed of and actively and actively serving or retired administrative law judge

157
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,760
or a retired judge of the district court or a circuit court.

158
00:12:05,060 --> 00:12:10,280
A pointed by the chief executive officer of the county, so here, that's the county executive.

159
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:17,380
A civilian who is not a member of an administrative charging committee appointed by the county's police accountability board.

160
00:12:17,620 --> 00:12:18,900
So it's a three person board.

161
00:12:19,900 --> 00:12:22,740
What I just read is the second person that will be on that board.

162
00:12:23,260 --> 00:12:28,400
And then the third person that will serve on that board is a police officer of equal rank to the police officer,

163
00:12:28,780 --> 00:12:32,340
who is accused of misconduct appointed by the head of the law enforcement agency.

164
00:12:32,340 --> 00:12:38,180
So I will be able to select an officer of equal rank to be able to serve on that trial board.

165
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:44,980
A chief or chief doesn't need me to suspend the police officer without pay and suspend the police officer's police powers.

166
00:12:45,420 --> 00:12:53,520
On an emergency basis, if the police officer is charged with a disqualifying crime as defined in 5-1-1 of this article.

167
00:12:54,380 --> 00:12:59,780
You all have access to the full police accountability law, so you can read it up.

168
00:12:59,820 --> 00:13:03,020
These are only excerpts that I've poured out for the purpose of this meeting.

169
00:13:03,020 --> 00:13:08,440
I'm Mr. Meadig, Mr. Meadig and the performance of duties as a police officer or a

170
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,960
Mr. Meadig involving dishonesty, fraud, theft, or misrepresentation.

171
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,840
A police officer who was suspended without pay under the subsection is entitled to receive

172
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:22,500
back pay, yet the police officer has found that guilty of the criminal charge, your charges

173
00:13:22,500 --> 00:13:27,380
on which the suspension was based, criminal charges, or against the police officer result

174
00:13:27,380 --> 00:13:31,920
and a finding them not guilty or quit or dismissal or it's not a process.

175
00:13:32,580 --> 00:13:36,500
So if we do suspend an officer with our pay and then they're found not guilty

176
00:13:36,500 --> 00:13:38,920
then they're entitled to backpacks.

177
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,260
The Chiefs' shout terminate the employment of a police officer was convicted of a felony.

178
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,620
The Chief may terminate the employment of a police officer who receives a probation

179
00:13:48,620 --> 00:13:53,880
before judgment for a felony or is convicted of a misdemeanor committed in the performance

180
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:58,800
of duties as a police officer, a misdemeanor related to domestic violence, misdemeanor second

181
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:03,900
degrees of assault or misdemeanor involvement dishonesty for all staff or misrepresentation.

182
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:09,480
Okay. If you want to like to scan the QR code, this takes you directly to the full police

183
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:14,880
accountability legislation, it's quite lengthy and it deals with many more things than just

184
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:19,660
the police accountability board. But the information that I shared this evening came from that

185
00:14:19,660 --> 00:14:28,940
as again that I said was passed by the legislature and enacted in 2021 so that lays out

186
00:14:28,940 --> 00:14:33,880
the both the criminal and administrative processes to where we are. I think it's important

187
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:40,260
that our community is aware of the process that we abide by and that's in all cases of discipline.

188
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:47,580
So it's not just an instances of officer involved shootings. There's not always a criminal investigation

189
00:14:47,580 --> 00:14:54,840
obviously, but any matter of any complaint filed by a citizen against the police officer

190
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,360
follows this administrative charging committee process.

191
00:15:00,530 --> 00:15:04,290
So, what I like to do is to take a couple of questions from the community.

192
00:15:05,770 --> 00:15:12,210
Just be mindful that, as I stated, this case is related also involved shooting still in the investigation.

193
00:15:12,730 --> 00:15:17,990
So any specific questions about the status of the investigation, I would not be able to answer this evening.

194
00:15:18,410 --> 00:15:22,350
But if you have any questions about the process, I'd be more than happy to answer.

195
00:15:22,350 --> 00:15:52,330
But just one question might, my main question in concern is that no one has said anything about any other type of weapon there, and I don't know if you're going to talk about that or not, but that is very concerning to me that if there was no other weapon, then you can't make necessarily go into all of that, but I think the community has no right to know if there was any other type of weapon around the world.

196
00:15:52,330 --> 00:15:58,850
I see. Sure. And again, that is a matter that is being investigated. It's not appropriate

197
00:15:58,850 --> 00:16:04,790
for me to comment on that at this time. But that is something that once we're able to

198
00:16:04,790 --> 00:16:10,790
in the investigation is concluded, we make sure that we can provide updates at that point in time.

199
00:16:12,470 --> 00:16:20,370
Sir, the question I have is, as it relates to policy, what is the policy for police officers

200
00:16:20,370 --> 00:16:23,830
to unhose their service weapon and point it anywhere?

201
00:16:25,870 --> 00:16:31,150
So the policy is based upon an officer's determination of a threat.

202
00:16:32,610 --> 00:16:37,470
And so there's no black or white policy to say,

203
00:16:37,830 --> 00:16:40,770
when an officer should unhose their weapon and display.

204
00:16:41,150 --> 00:16:43,570
So it's based upon rigorous training that we go through,

205
00:16:43,890 --> 00:16:48,710
but at the end of the day it's about the officer's assessment of what they consider a threat

206
00:16:48,710 --> 00:16:51,330
that elevates to that level to make the determination

207
00:16:51,330 --> 00:16:53,630
of whether or not that level of force.

208
00:16:53,710 --> 00:16:55,870
And it's the same thing with any level of force

209
00:16:55,870 --> 00:16:56,510
that we utilize.

210
00:16:57,570 --> 00:16:59,350
So whether it's something that's less than lethal,

211
00:16:59,550 --> 00:17:00,710
whether it's deadly force,

212
00:17:01,050 --> 00:17:03,490
it's still something based upon the officer's assessment

213
00:17:03,490 --> 00:17:05,570
of the situation and what's appropriate.

214
00:17:06,290 --> 00:17:06,750
I understand.

215
00:17:07,930 --> 00:17:09,930
And I know that the news has covered this.

216
00:17:11,270 --> 00:17:14,530
And I guess the person involved in this whole situation,

217
00:17:14,530 --> 00:17:16,310
he was there given an account of it.

218
00:17:16,310 --> 00:17:22,810
So again, to the front of this question earlier, was there, I mean, I know you guys have seen it, was there a credible threat to have to do that?

219
00:17:22,990 --> 00:17:27,830
Yeah, we come in on the physical events of what occurred, that's what's on their investigation.

220
00:17:28,310 --> 00:17:36,270
That's what I read in my statement, what I'm asking this community is patients, you know, a lot of the investigative process to play itself out.

221
00:17:36,630 --> 00:17:45,410
And then what we want to do is to make sure, at the end of the day, that the integrity of the investigation is the paramount thing that he's doing right here.

222
00:17:45,410 --> 00:17:49,290
And we want to make sure that that is right for all parties that are involved.

223
00:17:49,950 --> 00:17:53,770
And so we don't want to do anything by sharing any information or making any statements that

224
00:17:53,770 --> 00:17:55,830
may jeopardize that investigative process.

225
00:17:56,530 --> 00:18:01,650
So that's where I'm asking if those that are here and I don't know if I have any graduates

226
00:18:01,650 --> 00:18:07,330
of our citizens' police academy class, you know, they will recall that we discuss these

227
00:18:07,330 --> 00:18:09,210
things in the academy class.

228
00:18:10,070 --> 00:18:13,430
This is what I talk about and I talk about this process.

229
00:18:14,050 --> 00:18:20,610
There's not a lot that I could say is the chief of police, you know, and I know it's a common phrase that many people here in many chiefs say it's on the investigation.

230
00:18:21,230 --> 00:18:24,850
We say that for a reason because we don't want to jeopardize the process.

231
00:18:25,750 --> 00:18:29,310
We realize the sensitivities and the things that have happened throughout this country.

232
00:18:29,630 --> 00:18:37,930
We realize the fact that the community in many cases may not have trust and law enforcement to be a full disclosure.

233
00:18:37,930 --> 00:18:42,630
Okay, but one of the things that you know I've been committed to this community, the men and women of this

234
00:18:42,630 --> 00:18:48,890
Police Department committed to this community and what I'm asking is for your trust and a lot of process to work itself through

235
00:18:48,890 --> 00:18:54,910
It is a totally objective independent investigation. That's why we ask and outside agencies to conduct it

236
00:18:55,310 --> 00:18:57,610
We will trust the process and the fine use of that

237
00:19:01,460 --> 00:19:07,820
Just you had you have said that this man walked past his arms apart during your brief discussion and then that one

238
00:19:07,820 --> 00:19:12,700
was fired, can you elaborate at all what was said or what to place during that conversation?

239
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:13,660
Not at all.

240
00:19:13,980 --> 00:19:17,020
And you tell us at least how long it was, breathe a couple seconds, a couple minutes?

241
00:19:17,700 --> 00:19:19,200
It was brief, but that's all I could say.

242
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,280
That conversation after that is what the show's fired.

243
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,960
Again, those are all matters that are on the investigation.

244
00:19:25,180 --> 00:19:29,420
That's the principle point of investigation of what occurred and that interaction.

245
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,820
That information that is currently on the investigation.

246
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:38,040
And to his point earlier is that there's no lack of white policy that it comes to an

247
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,560
obstacle, a lot of service weapon. In this case, based on what he knows of art, was there

248
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,400
a critical threat for him to blow out his weapon?

249
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:49,540
I'm not going to render my opinion. This is those are matters that are on their investigation and the

250
00:19:49,540 --> 00:19:54,240
conclusions will. That will be reached will be based upon facts and evidence that are

251
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:55,380
uncovered in their investigation.

252
00:19:55,380 --> 00:20:02,340
You know what I'm saying, you know, I'm from Louis, I got a state championship at Louis

253
00:20:02,340 --> 00:20:06,720
High School, you know, my parents got a house building over with, you know,

254
00:20:08,780 --> 00:20:09,140
my father

255
00:20:09,140 --> 00:20:12,720
planted, you know, his CDs here, establishes Bruce and I've done the same thing.

256
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:18,860
I had five school children, I was on my way on 1997 and I had to get to, I know what was

257
00:20:18,860 --> 00:20:22,960
going on, why did she text me? It said, hey, something going on on my name is seven, like

258
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,360
I leave out my house 30 minutes earlier.

259
00:20:26,060 --> 00:20:28,400
I want that road that fully could potentially get

260
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,660
Jonah, Malay, Noelle, Noelle, Noelle, or Marseille.

261
00:20:33,380 --> 00:20:35,660
And so, you know, as, you know, we want to trust

262
00:20:35,660 --> 00:20:37,140
that we want to trust the police department.

263
00:20:37,220 --> 00:20:39,300
We really do, y'all who we call when we, you know,

264
00:20:39,380 --> 00:20:41,160
when we have issues, you know what I'm saying?

265
00:20:41,580 --> 00:20:44,300
But at the same time, you know, you ask,

266
00:20:44,380 --> 00:20:46,360
and as the trust you, but you got to know it's a volunteer.

267
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,580
Well, what I would say to you is this, sir,

268
00:20:49,980 --> 00:20:52,740
is that, and I want the community to understand.

269
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:57,160
Please don't define this police department one, one, one, one, action, and one, I.

270
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,020
We have been faithful to this community.

271
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,040
I've been here going on 14 years, okay.

272
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,600
If you've been involved with this police department, you know how much we serve this community.

273
00:21:07,360 --> 00:21:13,120
When I want to point back to the fact that, let's go back to the original, the way the

274
00:21:13,120 --> 00:21:16,880
decision is started is, you know, I don't want to take it from the fact that I know it

275
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,020
gets lost in what occurred at the end.

276
00:21:19,020 --> 00:21:22,260
But I understand the sergeant warned him stop to serve.

277
00:21:23,120 --> 00:21:25,660
He stopped to help what he thought was a stranded motorist.

278
00:21:25,660 --> 00:21:28,120
That is what this police department does day in and day out.

279
00:21:28,360 --> 00:21:31,460
So I want our community to understand and we hear the serve of this community.

280
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,960
And even since the incident and before this, that is what we do.

281
00:21:37,660 --> 00:21:43,220
So, trust the process, a lot of investigation process to play out.

282
00:21:43,540 --> 00:21:45,880
There's only thing I can ask for the community's patience.

283
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:50,800
But, you know, judges are one of the things that we do day in and day out because that is something that the

284
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,060
women at this piece of money have earned on every single call for service.

285
00:21:54,200 --> 00:22:00,620
We run over 32,000 calls a year, okay, and the number of incidents that we end up having

286
00:22:00,620 --> 00:22:05,240
use of force incidents are the percentage of that is very low.

287
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:10,140
All of that information can be found that we go to our website, all I answer reports are there.

288
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:15,260
It lays out all of that information in terms of use of force quite frankly, you know,

289
00:22:15,260 --> 00:22:20,700
this police department we do far more discipline internally than we even get external complaints from

290
00:22:20,700 --> 00:22:25,780
residents. So that shows that our supervisors hold our officers accountable to our policies and

291
00:22:25,780 --> 00:22:31,920
procedures. We have a high standard of expectation of how our officers serve our community. That's very

292
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:39,240
important to me. It's very important to our council. It's important to you all as residents. We are

293
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,040
the bomb at a hit of 30's, heard serve our residents.

294
00:22:46,140 --> 00:22:50,520
I miss the gentleman this thing, because I too live, I live right off from 1997.

295
00:22:50,900 --> 00:22:55,520
I was actually headed to work, and I passed by the incident.

296
00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:02,060
Is there going to be, either you can discuss it now, or after investigation, where there was a gentleman

297
00:23:02,060 --> 00:23:04,720
being picked up off the ground by two offices?

298
00:23:06,120 --> 00:23:09,200
Would that be disclosed to, or why he was on the ground?

299
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,760
Is that when after the shot fight?

300
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,120
Because if so, I was there seconds after fire,

301
00:23:16,300 --> 00:23:17,720
I think could have hit me as well.

302
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:20,840
Again, I'm not going to comment

303
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,120
of the parties that were involved in the incident.

304
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,780
Autos parties are being, they are part of the investigation.

305
00:23:28,180 --> 00:23:30,660
The investigators are speaking to everyone that's involved

306
00:23:30,660 --> 00:23:32,020
in this incident.

307
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,220
And once that is concluded, as I mentioned,

308
00:23:35,580 --> 00:23:37,040
in the presentation, all the information

309
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:41,580
should be submitted to the Proper Chatels first to the State's Attorney's Office and then

310
00:23:42,220 --> 00:23:44,120
administratively that process will be handled.

311
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,140
It has been released because the state of these have been charged from everything.

312
00:23:51,420 --> 00:23:53,440
No criminal charges have been placed against him.

313
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,460
It can be also clarified by a Saudi party that thought it was an abandoned motorist.

314
00:23:57,580 --> 00:23:58,720
Was there an abandoned motorist?

315
00:23:58,940 --> 00:24:00,420
Was there just an abandoned motorist?

316
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:00,480
It was just an abandoned motorist.

317
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:01,400
It was an abandoned motorist.

318
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:01,900
It was an abandoned motorist.

319
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:04,260
That's the thing.

320
00:24:04,340 --> 00:24:07,840
What we believe is that there is an association with their vehicle.

321
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,900
We noted that there were other occupants in that vehicle.

322
00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:17,620
Also, we found out after the fact that we found out after the fact that the man in all this vehicle,

323
00:24:17,620 --> 00:24:19,600
he was in the vehicle, or separate.

324
00:24:20,420 --> 00:24:24,100
He was that in the vehicle at the time when Sergeant Anderson approached.

325
00:24:25,540 --> 00:24:28,360
And so that's what was the nature of the encounter.

326
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:29,820
So that's what we're trying to investigate.

327
00:24:33,530 --> 00:24:34,150
Any other questions?

328
00:24:34,530 --> 00:24:34,790
Yes ma'am.

329
00:24:34,790 --> 00:24:40,530
If it goes to trial, is the public allowed to be in the courtroom?

330
00:24:41,530 --> 00:24:46,230
That determination is made by, you know, the judge of the overseeing of the case.

331
00:24:46,730 --> 00:24:48,910
And I'm sure the consultation with the State's Attorney's Office,

332
00:24:49,190 --> 00:24:50,970
Chase and I don't know if you want to address that at all.

333
00:24:52,050 --> 00:24:53,210
The most part, yes.

334
00:24:53,790 --> 00:24:54,970
Droughts are over there.

335
00:25:00,020 --> 00:25:00,640
Any other questions?

336
00:25:03,420 --> 00:25:03,820
Mr. Sir.

337
00:25:03,820 --> 00:25:07,480
What is the policy for if a citizen accidentally discharges the weapon?

338
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:11,760
A citizen, I accidentally discharged.

339
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,320
Yeah, if I was changing my tire on the side of the room and I took my

340
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,740
car, I could still carry off and put it in my trunk and I accidentally

341
00:25:19,300 --> 00:25:21,820
went off and I was hit somebody else's vehicle,

342
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,860
so I prepared a person without, you know,

343
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,420
so they're positive for it.

344
00:25:26,460 --> 00:25:28,840
Seven of the process goes into, we look at intent,

345
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,320
we look at negligence, we look at all the different things to evaluate,

346
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:38,300
you know, the circumstances, so the investigation would be initiated to determine the circumstances

347
00:25:38,300 --> 00:25:43,020
and based upon that, a very similar process would go on to play.

348
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,180
I get to go home and go back to work.

349
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:45,720
It depends.

350
00:25:46,300 --> 00:25:50,620
So we, this routine that even involving citizens, there's many times that we investigate

351
00:25:50,620 --> 00:25:56,060
crimes where we will consult the state's attorney's office to determine whether or not

352
00:25:56,060 --> 00:25:57,340
charges are warranted.

353
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,980
So even involving the citizens, there are many times that the incident may happen that

354
00:26:00,980 --> 00:26:03,040
charges may not be filed to a later date.

355
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:09,320
So it just depends on the complexity of the investigation and all of the factors that are involved in

356
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:09,820
the investigation.

357
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:11,000
Well,

358
00:26:13,740 --> 00:26:14,940
any other questions for anyone?

359
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:22,200
I appreciate everyone coming out this evening for this update.

360
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:29,420
As I mentioned, we'll take a short break and then we'll jump into our community matter

361
00:36:00,350 --> 00:36:07,790
I don't want to go there, I don't want to go there, I don't want to go there.

362
00:36:25,390 --> 00:36:29,390
But at least you can have something like that as well as a person who doesn't care about that.

363
00:36:25,390 --> 00:36:29,390
But at least you can have something like that as well as a person who doesn't care about that.

364
00:36:30,090 --> 00:36:32,530
And we've already talked about that.

365
00:36:30,090 --> 00:36:32,530
And we've already talked about that.

366
00:36:35,030 --> 00:36:36,930
Well, that's what we like to do.

367
00:36:35,030 --> 00:36:36,930
Well, that's what we like to do.

368
00:36:37,330 --> 00:36:37,450

425
00:42:15,690 --> 00:42:21,490
So, I don't think we had this lot, I mean, no, we took it out. So, usually I have a organization

of the chart is inside the power of point, but we're off the rise to have 67 sworn officers.

428
00:42:29,930 --> 00:42:36,490
Okay, that sounds like a lot, but we realized that the city is nearly 50,000 residents,

429
00:42:29,930 --> 00:42:36,490
Okay, that sounds like a lot, but we realized that the city is nearly 50,000 residents,

430
00:42:37,150 --> 00:42:42,790
60,000 residents, and over 20 square miles. And growing, I would say all of the developments

60,000 residents, and over 20 square miles. And growing, I would say all of the developments

436
00:42:56,650 --> 00:43:00,770
generally, you know, what that amounts to is we generally have about four officers working

437
00:42:56,650 --> 00:43:00,770
generally, you know, what that amounts to is we generally have about four officers working

438
00:43:00,770 --> 00:43:05,930
in the city at any given time in a patrol capacity because we have shifts. So officers,

439
00:43:00,770 --> 00:43:05,930
in the city at any given time in a patrol capacity because we have shifts. So officers,

440
00:43:06,030 --> 00:43:11,090

not just patrol.

452
00:43:27,790 --> 00:43:31,650
So I'll pause and say that if you have members of the community

453
00:43:27,790 --> 00:43:31,650
So I'll pause and say that if you have members of the community

454
00:43:31,650 --> 00:43:34,670
or people that you know that interested in law enforcement,

455
00:43:31,650 --> 00:43:34,670
or people that you know that interested in law enforcement,

456
00:43:35,270 --> 00:43:37,310
this will be a best place to put them.

457
00:43:35,270 --> 00:43:37,310
this will be a best place to put them.

458
00:43:37,630 --> 00:43:40,270
So they can protect you as residents and help us

459
00:43:37,630 --> 00:43:40,270
So they can protect you as residents and help us

460
00:43:40,270 --> 00:43:43,210
to serve the community because we really need the officers

to make sure that we can provide the ample service that you all deserve.

464
00:43:49,510 --> 00:43:53,330
So I want to talk a little bit about death from models because that's what we're dealing

465
00:43:49,510 --> 00:43:53,330
So I want to talk a little bit about death from models because that's what we're dealing

466
00:43:53,330 --> 00:43:57,630
with and we're fortunate that here in the city we don't have a lot of violent crime, which

467
00:43:53,330 --> 00:43:57,630
with and we're fortunate that here in the city we don't have a lot of violent crime, which

00:43:57,630 --> 00:43:58,770
is the fortunate thing.

470
00:43:59,030 --> 00:44:04,570
The city of Louis is a very safe city contrary to some of the comments you may see on

471
00:43:59,030 --> 00:44:04,570
The city of Louis is a very safe city contrary to some of the comments you may see on

472
00:44:04,570 --> 00:44:05,550
social media.

473
00:44:04,570 --> 00:44:05,550
social media.

474
00:44:05,990 --> 00:44:11,450
We're not immune to crime, what I like to say all the time is that most of our suspects that

475
00:44:05,990 --> 00:44:11,450
We're not immune to crime, what I like to say all the time is that most of our suspects that

476
00:44:11,450 --> 00:44:13,990
You can make crime here, are not from buoy.

477
00:44:11,450 --> 00:44:13,990
You can make crime here, are not from buoy.

478
00:44:15,050 --> 00:44:20,590
They come from other communities because a lot of the residents here have nice things, nice

479
00:44:15,050 --> 00:44:20,590
They come from other communities because a lot of the residents here have nice things, nice

480
00:44:20,590 --> 00:44:22,830
homes, nice vehicles, and things that are in sort.

481
00:44:20,590 --> 00:44:22,830
homes, nice vehicles, and things that are in sort.

482
00:44:23,610 --> 00:44:29,290
And they come here to victimize our residents, so the residents of buoy, you know, we have

483
00:44:23,610 --> 00:44:29,290
And they come here to victimize our residents, so the residents of buoy, you know, we have

484
00:44:29,290 --> 00:44:34,250
a very wonderful community, and we're working to keep those that are not part of this community

485
00:44:29,290 --> 00:44:34,250
a very wonderful community, and we're working to keep those that are not part of this community

486
00:44:34,250 --> 00:44:34,950
out of buoy.

487
00:44:34,250 --> 00:44:34,950
out of buoy.

488
00:44:34,950 --> 00:44:41,850
All right, but death of models, if you looked at the news last year,

489
00:44:34,950 --> 00:44:41,850
All right, but death of models, if you looked at the news last year,

490
00:44:42,070 --> 00:44:46,210
oh, no, sorry, I'll get them ahead of myself. So death of models, we've seen a spike.

491
00:44:42,070 --> 00:44:46,210
oh, no, sorry, I'll get them ahead of myself. So death of models, we've seen a spike.

492
00:44:46,850 --> 00:44:54,450
What we're seeing from 2022, we had around 150, 160 death of models. In 2023,

493
00:44:46,850 --> 00:44:54,450
What we're seeing from 2022, we had around 150, 160 death of models. In 2023,

494
00:44:54,450 --> 00:44:55,990
And then I must fight to over 200.

495
00:44:54,450 --> 00:44:55,990
And then I must fight to over 200.

496
00:44:57,650 --> 00:44:58,170
Now.

497
00:44:57,650 --> 00:44:58,170
Now.

498
00:45:00,180 --> 00:45:21,640
When I talked about us having people that don't live here that are coming here and victimizing our residents, they come here and what they're doing is, you know, a lot of our residents, and I'm not victim-shaming and being accused of victim-shaming, I'm not, I'm just trying to educate our residents. A lot of our residents leave their doors on lock to their vehicles.

499
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:27,780
okay, any new valuables inside the vehicles. So you make yourself an easy target for those

500
00:45:27,780 --> 00:45:32,840
that are coming here, vehicles unlocked, they go inside, still the items of value, and they

501
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:38,480
go in about their way. How many people have a vehicle here that has a key file with a push to start?

502
00:45:39,900 --> 00:45:44,280
A lot of those. You will be surprised, you sit in the next slide. We've actually had people

503
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:49,420
the vehicles on a lot with key five and five and it actually is the vehicles installed, okay.

504
00:45:50,220 --> 00:45:54,720
These are things that, and so our purpose is, again, it's not to shame people, you know,

505
00:45:54,820 --> 00:45:59,960
our job is really to educate our residents so that we can together prevent these crimes from happening

506
00:45:59,960 --> 00:46:05,240
being aware, and so you all as residents can look out for your neighbors, because who knows best,

507
00:46:05,500 --> 00:46:08,760
what belongs in the community besides those that live there, okay.

508
00:46:09,420 --> 00:46:13,560
What I want you to do is, and I say this every single meeting is that

509
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:16,640
Our job is to come and respond to your needs.

510
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:19,020
So you can't call us too much.

511
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:22,440
So if you see something that doesn't look right in your community,

512
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:24,520
it's okay if you turn out to be wrong.

513
00:46:24,660 --> 00:46:25,060
It's okay.

514
00:46:25,260 --> 00:46:26,760
It's our job to come figure it out.

515
00:46:27,020 --> 00:46:29,340
If someone has a legitimate reason to be in your community,

516
00:46:29,900 --> 00:46:32,960
we'll be turning that and then going about their work.

517
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,500
But if there's someone that is in your neighborhood

518
00:46:35,500 --> 00:46:37,680
that's committing harm and shouldn't have be there,

519
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,540
we need to know about it so we can come and make sure

520
00:46:40,540 --> 00:46:42,000
that we deal with that situation.

521
00:46:42,660 --> 00:46:51,100
I talked about a motor vehicle theft, and 2022 we had a little more than 120 vehicle stolen

522
00:46:51,100 --> 00:46:52,100
in the city.

523
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:53,680
But he's all annual numbers.

524
00:46:53,860 --> 00:46:56,880
So in 2023, that number is fight to almost 240.

525
00:46:58,260 --> 00:47:03,800
The main driver in that, and if you pay attention to social media, the TikTok challenges

526
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:08,120
with young people still in high-end days and keys, you'd remember that with the USB?

527
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:08,980
All right.

528
00:47:08,980 --> 00:47:11,200
So that was something that hit all the French Georgia County.

529
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:18,200
We went out immune to that. The manufacturers came out with a fix. So if you have a Hyundai or a key vehicle

530
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:25,740
I mean you haven't gotten that software update, you know, my advice is to make sure you contact the dealership to make sure that that's installed in your vehicle

531
00:47:25,740 --> 00:47:31,380
It makes it a lot more difficult for them to steal your vehicle. Okay, we've done some club giveaways and things to that

532
00:47:31,380 --> 00:47:39,920
So I don't know if we have any plan here in the near future, but those are things we've also offered to make it a little more difficult for your vehicle to be stolen

533
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:46,740
One of the things in the current trends we've been seeing is that there's a new target on

534
00:47:46,740 --> 00:47:47,660
infinity vehicles.

535
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:54,880
So again, the push to start, I suspect that getting pretty sophisticated, they were

536
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:59,020
able to buy one of the programming tools off the internet.

537
00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:04,400
And so even if you have your vehicle secure with the key file, they're able to defeat that

538
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:07,240
and create another key file which is allowing them to still your vehicle.

539
00:48:07,240 --> 00:48:13,880
So, our recommendation is that if you have a club or something like that, as an anti-death device,

540
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:18,500
our recommendation is that you would put that on your vehicle as a deterrent and make it

541
00:48:18,500 --> 00:48:20,920
a little more difficult for them to be able to take your vehicle.

542
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:25,440
One of the other things that I have in it on my vehicle, so a lot of stuff that I share with you

543
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:27,540
all of the days that I do personally, okay?

544
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:30,980
Everyone know what the air tag is?

545
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:36,620
If you know the air tag is, so air tag is a little device, as you track by your apple

546
00:48:36,620 --> 00:48:42,800
They make it full of the devices as well, you know, it can be put on anything. It's a real small

547
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:47,700
circular device. What I suggest people to do is buy an air tank. Put it inside your vehicle somewhere

548
00:48:48,380 --> 00:48:53,740
discreetly in the event that your vehicle is stolen. You have control of it. It's not the police.

549
00:48:54,100 --> 00:48:57,460
But if you were to respond, you could be able to pull it a real time and it's tracking your vehicle.

550
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:00,980
All right, that ace is greatly and being able to recover your vehicle.

551
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:05,660
We could communicate whether it's in another jurisdiction and try to get your vehicle back.

552
00:49:05,660 --> 00:49:08,460
quickly as possible. If not, we also want to make

553
00:49:08,460 --> 00:49:11,420
gap or ensure the person that stole your vehicle. But that's

554
00:49:11,420 --> 00:49:14,240
something that I recommend that you do. You can buy them off

555
00:49:14,240 --> 00:49:17,620
Amazon, Apple, stolen things to that sort. About $20 or $30

556
00:49:17,620 --> 00:49:20,140
per hour, Apple tag. But there's something that I highly

557
00:49:20,140 --> 00:49:22,260
recommend. I put them in my love. This when I try, I will

558
00:49:22,260 --> 00:49:24,980
put them in everything. So it's just a tracking

559
00:49:24,980 --> 00:49:29,680
type mechanism so that you can find your property.

560
00:49:30,260 --> 00:49:35,120
So, okay. As I mentioned, we have a three from the

561
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:42,200
approach, you know, to education prevention and enforcement and education and prevention, we're

562
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:43,040
accomplishing that tonight.

563
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:47,320
That's what we've been doing all year, is we're trying to share with you all the trends

564
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:53,560
that we're seeing, we're asking for a cooperation to help us to prevent these crimes from

565
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:53,840
happening.

566
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:59,480
So my ask is obviously removing valuables from your vehicle, locking your doors, look

567
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:01,980
out for your neighbors, report things that are suspicious.

568
00:50:01,980 --> 00:50:04,280
If I do one of those things, you help us.

569
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:09,720
We do enforcement, but I am going to be honest with you in that, because if our shortage is

570
00:50:09,720 --> 00:50:13,740
in staffing, our first priority is responding to codes of service.

571
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:20,160
So when you call 911 on an on emergency number, that is our first priority is making sure that

572
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:21,580
we address those things first.

573
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:27,240
The proactive patrols are the things that we can do when we don't have to respond to

574
00:50:27,240 --> 00:50:28,160
calls of service.

575
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:31,960
Okay?

576
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:38,220
city as I mentioned 20 square miles that pulls us a little thin at times, but our first priority

577
00:50:38,220 --> 00:50:40,040
is to respond to calls for service.

578
00:50:42,420 --> 00:50:44,060
How to request police service?

579
00:50:45,420 --> 00:50:50,100
So obviously for emergencies, crimes that are in progress, if it's an emergency, like threatening

580
00:50:50,100 --> 00:50:54,860
or someone actively engaged in some kind of crime, I don't want you to hesitate.

581
00:50:55,060 --> 00:50:56,980
We want you to call 911, okay?

582
00:50:57,940 --> 00:51:01,300
911, there's one, 911, center, and all the principal's county.

583
00:51:01,300 --> 00:51:06,320
It happens to be here in the city of Bui, okay, but it serves the entirety of Prince George's

584
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:06,920
County.

585
00:51:08,140 --> 00:51:13,100
Some of you are may have heard or seen stories on the news about calling 911 and you

586
00:51:13,100 --> 00:51:13,660
get a recording.

587
00:51:13,940 --> 00:51:16,180
Is there anybody here?

588
00:51:16,180 --> 00:51:21,980
If they have, so let me just kind of explain some of the circumstances that they're contributing

589
00:51:21,980 --> 00:51:22,800
to that.

590
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:27,580
In this day and time, everyone has a cell phone, some of us have to, right?

591
00:51:27,580 --> 00:51:35,920
So, let's say that we're all traveling down the Capitol Beltway or that we're 50, and the major traffic accident happens in front of that.

592
00:51:36,100 --> 00:51:40,620
Well, everyone's driving by and we appreciate everyone being good residents and want to help.

593
00:51:41,380 --> 00:51:44,360
It calls 911 to report the accident.

594
00:51:44,820 --> 00:51:51,000
So it was one incident, but that one incident may generate 10, 15, 20 calls for service to 911.

595
00:51:51,300 --> 00:51:52,520
That flows the system.

596
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:55,780
So, every single call that I want one has to be answered.

597
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:56,860
Okay?

598
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,900
If you get the recording, you get frustrated and hang up.

599
00:52:01,300 --> 00:52:03,280
That is what they consider and I want one hang up.

600
00:52:03,540 --> 00:52:04,940
They don't know if you had a true emergency.

601
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:06,500
If you weren't able to stay on the line.

602
00:52:06,820 --> 00:52:09,560
So, that generates another call because they have to try to call you back.

603
00:52:10,740 --> 00:52:13,640
So, that asks to the queue and listen.

604
00:52:14,020 --> 00:52:15,800
Everyone is dealing with staffing challenges.

605
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:17,640
They only have a so many call takers.

606
00:52:17,980 --> 00:52:20,000
So, sometimes the system gets overloaded.

607
00:52:20,240 --> 00:52:21,760
So, what we did here in the city

608
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:26,920
So a year ago is we created a non-emergency communication center.

609
00:52:27,540 --> 00:52:29,960
So we dispatch our own police officers here,

610
00:52:30,420 --> 00:52:34,260
but what we also try to do is to alleviate some of those calls

611
00:52:34,260 --> 00:52:36,140
for service according to the 911 center.

612
00:52:36,820 --> 00:52:39,540
Because the say 911 center also handles

613
00:52:39,540 --> 00:52:41,820
the count is non-emergency liner.

614
00:52:42,900 --> 00:52:47,260
Okay, so if we can, like I say, we do with 32,000 calls for service.

615
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:49,880
So if we can direct both of those calls for service

616
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:54,500
that a non-emergency is here, that's taking a burden off of the 9-1-1 center, so that true

617
00:52:54,500 --> 00:52:55,720
emergencies can be answered.

618
00:52:56,260 --> 00:53:00,480
All right, that's what police fire and everything else, so it's not just police, the 9-1-1

619
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,220
sentence for police and fire, okay, and medical emergencies.

620
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:12,940
Our non-emergency number is 2-4-0-5-4-4-5-7-0-0, again 2-4-0-5-4-5-7-0-0.

621
00:53:13,100 --> 00:53:18,000
So the non-emergency is that if it's not an emergency, if it's not a crime in progress,

622
00:53:18,700 --> 00:53:30,180
The alphabet you wake up, some of my vandalized your car, or something like that, or yet lost property, we want you to call it an on emergency number, we're getting an officer out there to address your concern.

623
00:53:33,900 --> 00:53:40,260
Now, I showed in the version of the night, obviously, because we had the added edition of the information that I addressed at the beginning of the meeting.

624
00:53:40,260 --> 00:53:47,840
But the most important part of us getting together is really hearing from you all as the residents of Yucca Serbs.

625
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:49,220
That is why we exist.

626
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:52,240
We exist to make sure that we address Yucca Serbs.

627
00:53:52,600 --> 00:54:00,020
And so in the only way that we can be effective in doing that is hearing from you so that we can make sure that we're able to discuss those things.

628
00:54:00,500 --> 00:54:01,920
I have corporate data revenue here.

629
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:04,440
He's part of our community services unit.

630
00:54:04,720 --> 00:54:09,540
They're more dedicated to addressing long-term issues and challenges that we have.

631
00:54:09,540 --> 00:54:18,620
I was out of patrol, I'm out patrol officers take care of media things, but some problems that we have in the city are persisted and they require an extra level of expertise.

632
00:54:18,860 --> 00:54:24,120
So we have a community services unit that are tasked with addressing those issues in concern.

633
00:54:26,300 --> 00:54:28,880
So any questions for anyone, concerns?

634
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:30,640
Yes ma'am.

635
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:31,800
And so I had two questions.

636
00:54:33,420 --> 00:54:37,560
I was saying that self-laid has her sanctioned into the city of booming.

637
00:54:38,500 --> 00:54:42,360
But some of the services that the boozy citizens receive,

638
00:54:42,540 --> 00:54:45,160
I guess they're not getting the police.

639
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:47,880
Does the boozy police department patrol with self-laid?

640
00:54:48,140 --> 00:54:48,620
Yes.

641
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:49,720
1%.

642
00:54:51,020 --> 00:54:55,020
Okay. You also mentioned that there's a resource officer at Boehasko.

643
00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:58,960
My granddaughter, I'll attend to fully hospital,

644
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:02,440
she tells me about activity, especially in the pot smoking.

645
00:55:03,300 --> 00:55:05,080
That goes on in the school.

646
00:55:05,180 --> 00:55:08,240
Does the resource officer address any of that?

647
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:09,880
I would talk to him.

648
00:55:09,980 --> 00:55:12,380
He was here tonight, but I would talk to him as see.

649
00:55:12,700 --> 00:55:15,340
So we kind of work as a two-part system in a school system.

650
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:19,500
Obviously, we don't wear there to protect the students,

651
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:20,580
as well as the faculty.

652
00:55:21,720 --> 00:55:24,020
We're not really there to police the school.

653
00:55:24,020 --> 00:55:29,740
Okay, you have school security officers then that's their primary responsibility

654
00:55:29,740 --> 00:55:37,820
So we like to defer to them and the teachers and administrators to handle things to happen within school, especially things that are considered to be

655
00:55:37,820 --> 00:55:39,440
That serious Mr. Meena level

656
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:44,640
What we don't want is to the SRO is there to be a resource

657
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:52,780
You know for the students and the faculty not to really definitely be in a force and so, but he works in concert with the school security

658
00:55:52,780 --> 00:56:08,840
That's something that I would suggest is you talk to the principal about him aware as well as the security staff aware as a current and then they can investigate that matter for but they keep the SRO in a loop as it relates to those occurrences as well.

659
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:13,600
What you can understand is that we are actually three SROs.

660
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:16,140
We have our ice-brain building on the other draft,

661
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:17,320
we call it an advance.

662
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:20,440
We have the main building with the 10th map of the 12th race,

663
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:22,500
all in and out in this row.

664
00:56:23,220 --> 00:56:24,980
I'm going to float out between the buildings.

665
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:29,700
We don't tolerate smoking.

666
00:56:29,780 --> 00:56:32,500
This is smoke-free city, you consider everything anyway.

667
00:56:33,020 --> 00:56:36,720
But if it's a good time, we need attention, we do address it.

668
00:56:36,720 --> 00:56:39,620
One of the problems we do have is the high school is kids.

669
00:56:39,780 --> 00:56:41,800
We don't even know if they want to make the campus.

670
00:56:42,380 --> 00:56:45,780
We do not know if they have to try to make sure they come back for their safety.

671
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:50,360
Before the neighborhood, you know, because if someone were to have to one of them,

672
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:51,820
why are they supposed to be in school?

673
00:56:52,260 --> 00:56:54,760
And you think if they are in one of the buildings, and in that,

674
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:57,120
and if the imposes a great farm for us,

675
00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:01,100
in a building they've got just about 3,000 students.

676
00:57:01,620 --> 00:57:04,420
If we have school, it becomes a city within the city.

677
00:57:04,420 --> 00:57:09,800
So, we go out last to keep everybody safe, and when it's brought to our attention, we do address.

678
00:57:11,180 --> 00:57:12,180
That's that.

679
00:57:12,940 --> 00:57:13,740
Do you have any questions?

680
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:14,720
I have a question.

681
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:15,680
Just a question.

682
00:57:16,780 --> 00:57:19,660
So, almost speaking, before I address my concern,

683
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:20,960
or was that not concerned?

684
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:24,260
I wouldn't speak about something you said about staff.

685
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:26,200
But staff, what about staff?

686
00:57:26,300 --> 00:57:26,680
Okay, about staff.

687
00:57:26,860 --> 00:57:30,360
Safety staff, staff of 67, we do have 10 vacancies.

688
00:57:30,420 --> 00:57:30,880
Yes, we do.

689
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:36,680
seven offices. Are there any plans to fill those vacancies and it's

690
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:42,200
seven enough offices for food and medicine? It's boring. It's

691
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:45,840
definitely really not a part of the 20 square miles. Are there any

692
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:49,440
efforts on any plans to expand the police department to one of these

693
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:55,120
Department? But you know, I'm 67. Excellent question. So the answer is yes,

694
00:57:55,280 --> 00:58:00,860
we try to feel all the vacancies. And so let me start by saying

695
00:58:01,420 --> 00:58:07,180
There's a nationwide challenge in short that she'll recruit in full law enforcement, okay?

696
00:58:08,260 --> 00:58:11,580
I'm saying you can be safe for fire department, everything else.

697
00:58:12,140 --> 00:58:18,300
Public service is not something that is as desirable as it once was, for whatever reasons.

698
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:21,460
Here, and first of all, there's counting alone.

699
00:58:22,700 --> 00:58:26,320
And I didn't mention this earlier, several of us retired from Prince George's kind of police department.

700
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:30,080
I did deputy, captain, corporate amendment.

701
00:58:30,620 --> 00:58:32,120
We all came from Brazil's capital.

702
00:58:33,340 --> 00:58:36,900
They are down over 350 officers in Brazil's capital.

703
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:40,520
OK, I'm happy with my 10.

704
00:58:41,700 --> 00:58:45,420
But I would say this is that we've attended

705
00:58:45,420 --> 00:58:48,520
corporate amendment was that how university, yesterday,

706
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:53,000
for a job fair tomorrow, thank you at University of Maryland.

707
00:58:53,000 --> 00:59:06,020
We're in New York next week, and Boeys State University as well, so we are actively recruiting the challenges and and one thing is is that you know, I don't sugarcoat a whole lot of different things

708
00:59:06,020 --> 00:59:15,460
But there's a lot of information out here that's causing our young people to not be qualified for the police position of police officer and even though many have a desire to do so

709
00:59:16,420 --> 00:59:21,180
You know, I'm be honest and I have no issue saying this. I'm not a big fan of the legalization of campus

710
00:59:21,180 --> 00:59:23,320
for obviously Greece, obvious reasons.

711
00:59:24,100 --> 00:59:27,680
It is still illegal federally, and in order to carry a firearm,

712
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:29,940
you cannot consume cannons.

713
00:59:31,020 --> 00:59:33,280
And many of our young people will be asking questions.

714
00:59:33,460 --> 00:59:34,840
They said, oh, we just legal.

715
00:59:35,820 --> 00:59:36,580
It's not.

716
00:59:37,700 --> 00:59:38,420
It's not.

717
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:42,660
And so what you have to understand, not for the position of law enforcement,

718
00:59:43,420 --> 00:59:45,180
and what's inside happening is they get this qualified.

719
00:59:46,980 --> 00:59:55,740
So what we want to do is share with our residents, the things that are needed if you

720
00:59:55,740 --> 00:59:59,480
interested in the position, talk to any of our officers about the requirements.

721
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:14,000
You leave it near your front door and I don't know if there's enough education going out there to let people know to also a low-cost measures to buy a fair day box and put your car keys into a box, so they can't sit in the signal as well.

722
01:15:15,980 --> 01:15:21,200
I think I've mentioned something about that earlier about devices that could scale the signals and things.

723
01:15:21,360 --> 01:15:22,080
Okay, thank you.

724
01:15:22,340 --> 01:15:22,600
Thank you.

725
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:22,660
Thank you.

726
01:15:23,900 --> 01:15:25,720
So yeah, I suggest all that.

727
01:15:25,860 --> 01:15:29,220
I mean, listen, criminals are a very resourceful.

728
01:15:29,220 --> 01:15:37,140
And this day in time, I think that we all have a division responsibility to make sure that we do all we care and secure everything to you.

729
01:15:37,140 --> 01:15:44,080
What is your credit card, so what is your keyfabs, locking you doors, there are many,

730
01:15:44,080 --> 01:15:49,280
many different things that we have, so, you know, I agree.

731
01:15:49,980 --> 01:15:52,260
I had just two questions that I wanted to ask.

732
01:15:52,480 --> 01:15:56,460
One by the way, it was also to say, thank you for the, we did get this steering wheel

733
01:15:56,460 --> 01:15:57,360
lock from you all.

734
01:15:57,460 --> 01:15:59,100
So, thank you for that campaign.

735
01:16:00,060 --> 01:16:07,120
The one question about that, just curious, do you have any stats or data around in terms of the

736
01:16:07,120 --> 01:16:12,360
around how successful the department is with finding,

737
01:16:12,720 --> 01:16:16,980
doing this in arrests or and or getting property back,

738
01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:21,640
and then a second question to piggyback off of the school question post,

739
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:26,660
do you have any input into what how the staff schools that

740
01:16:26,660 --> 01:16:31,320
and students are trained in in terms of a violent critical incident at the school?

741
01:16:31,660 --> 01:16:36,000
And what in terms of how students are to respond, how how they're trained,

742
01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:40,080
What protocol did they use and trained staff to teach us with?

743
01:16:40,240 --> 01:16:41,040
Do you all have input on that?

744
01:16:41,140 --> 01:16:42,540
The second question.

745
01:16:43,240 --> 01:16:46,720
I will direct, I actually direct that question to students.

746
01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:47,860
School staff.

747
01:16:48,280 --> 01:16:52,720
We don't really have any, again, these are print stores,

748
01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:53,740
county schools.

749
01:16:54,420 --> 01:16:55,960
So all that has mandated by print stores.

750
01:16:57,540 --> 01:16:59,790
That's what it's just statistics related to

751
01:17:00,240 --> 01:17:01,760
that one, stone and vehicles.

752
01:17:02,380 --> 01:17:03,220
Properly crime.

753
01:17:03,340 --> 01:17:05,240
There's so many people in the race, but that is very money.

754
01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:05,740
Okay.

755
01:17:05,740 --> 01:17:12,480
And that's we have, you know, suspect information, most time we dealt by the time you wake up in the next morning, you realize a crown is occurred.

756
01:17:12,860 --> 01:17:16,560
There's no video, no man that is a silver building right, so very much.

757
01:17:17,040 --> 01:17:24,980
Now, if batches at times, we're fortunate enough to catch someone in that, you know, maybe getting to pursue, catch someone in the act of it.

758
01:17:24,980 --> 01:17:28,000
You know, that happens from time to time on that is frequently.

759
01:17:29,300 --> 01:17:35,340
And, you know, we're limited also, you know, by policies and procedures, property clients we're not allowed to pursue.

760
01:17:35,340 --> 01:17:46,860
So sometimes we'll get a vehicle that someone is actively tampering with step-stolen and may flee from one of our officers, but our officers are not allowed to pursue even if it's a stolen vehicle.

761
01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:57,500
And so we have to terminate that pursuit and unfortunately, you know, that's a safety issue for, you know, residents and everyone involved, you know, it is a property.

762
01:17:57,500 --> 01:18:10,420
And you can clarify what is the legal right of someone to smoke marijuana on a public street.

763
01:18:11,020 --> 01:18:14,080
For example, or can you tell us what it means?

764
01:18:14,480 --> 01:18:14,800
It's illegal.

765
01:18:14,920 --> 01:18:20,040
So the legalization of cannabis, the only legal place for this smoke is inside of your residence.

766
01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:21,360
All right?

767
01:18:21,620 --> 01:18:23,520
Inside the full box.

768
01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:24,900
That doesn't even mean on your property.

769
01:18:25,480 --> 01:18:28,000
So back on your back deck, were you chillin'

770
01:18:28,300 --> 01:18:28,680
to leave?

771
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:29,300
All right.

772
01:18:29,980 --> 01:18:32,600
Inside your four walls, it's the only legal place

773
01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:33,700
for you to smoke cannabis.

774
01:18:35,720 --> 01:18:37,560
So you're in the back yard, salute.

775
01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:39,680
If you're in front of your house, it's illegal.

776
01:18:39,940 --> 01:18:41,300
If you're in your vehicles, it's illegal.

777
01:18:42,520 --> 01:18:43,720
But it's decriminalized.

778
01:18:44,180 --> 01:18:44,300
All right.

779
01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:45,920
So it is not a criminal violation.

780
01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:49,240
It is not something that you're gonna get arrested for.

781
01:18:49,340 --> 01:18:50,320
It's a citation.

782
01:18:51,020 --> 01:18:51,200
All right.

783
01:18:51,200 --> 01:18:52,380
So it is decriminalized.

784
01:18:59,210 --> 01:19:05,450
I want to give our communications director what's going to Cooper and opportunity to come up

785
01:19:05,450 --> 01:19:09,010
to talk to you all about the ways that you obviously informed of things that are going on

786
01:19:09,010 --> 01:19:09,390
on the ship.

787
01:19:17,130 --> 01:19:18,190
Thank you everybody.

788
01:19:18,970 --> 01:19:20,170
Good evening.

789
01:19:21,010 --> 01:19:21,970
Thanks for being here.

790
01:19:22,210 --> 01:19:24,990
I realize I am not the reason you can't twice on.

791
01:19:25,230 --> 01:19:27,430
I'm going to give this a very, very, very brief.

792
01:19:27,610 --> 01:19:32,730
I'm here to promote a work of the way which is our text that became now the learning system.

793
01:19:32,730 --> 01:19:35,510
And we'll use it in emergency situations.

794
01:19:35,750 --> 01:19:42,350
We also use it for traffic alerts to tell you what's going on in Louis, whether it's a service

795
01:19:42,350 --> 01:19:44,070
entry or a school court event.

796
01:19:45,230 --> 01:19:49,810
So I've been encouraging you if you have not signed up to do so you can do it tonight.

797
01:19:50,310 --> 01:19:54,390
There are points out in the lobby and you can take one of these cards that I have here.

798
01:19:54,890 --> 01:19:55,630
Take it with you.

799
01:19:55,830 --> 01:19:57,250
You can scan the QR code.

800
01:19:57,530 --> 01:20:00,150
However you want to do it, which is why you need to do it.

801
01:20:00,150 --> 01:20:02,610
Can I just see a show at the end of the school?

802
01:20:02,750 --> 01:20:04,190
How many people have it already?

803
01:20:05,050 --> 01:20:05,750
Gold stars.

804
01:20:06,370 --> 01:20:06,430
Okay.

805
01:20:06,630 --> 01:20:10,190
I'm reaching the height of your, this is our thank you very much.

806
01:20:14,160 --> 01:20:15,880
The communications director.

807
01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:20,260
So alert, really, it's one of the ways we used to communicate.

808
01:20:20,580 --> 01:20:26,060
The other is social media and that is really one of our most immediate and active ways

809
01:20:26,060 --> 01:20:27,000
we communicate.

810
01:20:27,440 --> 01:20:31,600
We also make sure everything we are communicating is on our website.

811
01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:34,600
So I encourage you to check there for things.

812
01:20:35,700 --> 01:20:37,560
We have a government channel, we do videos.

813
01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:41,040
We do newsletters a weekly and a monthly one.

814
01:20:41,480 --> 01:20:46,060
So, however, you know, we know different people get to a different way.

815
01:20:46,220 --> 01:20:47,480
So we're trying to reach you all.

816
01:20:47,580 --> 01:20:50,620
If you have any suggestions about how to reach you better.

817
01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:54,140
And let me now act towards.

818
01:20:54,600 --> 01:20:57,000
And then the last thing I'll say is,

819
01:20:57,400 --> 01:21:01,000
and you're doing it about getting involved in staying involved with your community.

820
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:03,660
There's a variety of ways you can do that.

821
01:21:03,860 --> 01:21:09,160
The city is 16 different volunteer committees on its all kinds of different subjects

822
01:21:09,160 --> 01:21:15,940
and it's a great way to give back to your community to connect with your neighbors and other communities

823
01:21:15,940 --> 01:21:22,700
within and going and also to learn about really the city from the inside a little bit.

824
01:21:23,140 --> 01:21:28,540
You could also become a mentor of high school kids, we have a really great mentoring program

825
01:21:28,540 --> 01:21:33,700
at the White High School in the Mentories Act, meet with the kids once a week, have lunch

826
01:21:33,700 --> 01:21:39,160
with them, and really establish a bond through a whole school year and sometimes for multiple

827
01:21:39,160 --> 01:21:40,040
school years.

828
01:21:40,360 --> 01:21:45,060
We have a program called Neighbors, helping neighbors that helps people in need within the

829
01:21:45,060 --> 01:21:45,580
communities.

830
01:21:46,020 --> 01:21:58,520
We also have a green team, if you have kids that might be interesting in that law enforcement

831
01:21:58,520 --> 01:22:05,000
keep them involved and engaged. So those are just some other ways you can get involved, but keeping

832
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:10,060
up to date with what's going on with the people, also, give you more ways to learn about that.

833
01:22:10,700 --> 01:22:16,540
So thanks for the two minutes and we'll be out there as you haven't registered yet.

834
01:22:16,740 --> 01:22:17,280
Thank you so much.

835
01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:25,120
I want to now address this. We do a lot of community outreach programs that we offer.

836
01:22:25,120 --> 01:22:27,760
Citizens, please, Karen, we have police explorers.

837
01:22:28,200 --> 01:22:31,800
We do numerous community events, like Shopwater Cup,

838
01:22:31,800 --> 01:22:33,920
a natural night out, things in that sort.

839
01:22:34,480 --> 01:22:37,680
Cool, cool Janet Dollar, all we call it, the general.

840
01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:40,840
She is the one that oversees all those programs.

841
01:22:41,640 --> 01:22:43,880
And we have a couple of graduates as well,

842
01:22:44,260 --> 01:22:45,200
that we do as a citizen.

843
01:22:46,380 --> 01:22:48,500
It's probably one of the best programs I think

844
01:22:48,500 --> 01:22:49,620
that we put on.

845
01:22:49,620 --> 01:22:51,860
Here, if you are proceeding, it really, really gives you

846
01:22:51,860 --> 01:22:54,840
an insight into the inner operations and the workings

847
01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:55,720
of the police department.

848
01:22:56,260 --> 01:22:57,640
We have questions about how you please

849
01:22:57,640 --> 01:22:59,600
bummer out the race to policies, the procedures.

850
01:23:00,220 --> 01:23:01,800
Some of the things we talked about earlier

851
01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:03,860
in terms of laws for our own shooting,

852
01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:06,000
a lot of those questions will actually be answered

853
01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:07,580
by you going through the citizens academy.

854
01:23:08,040 --> 01:23:10,460
And you actually get the experience, a lot of those different things.

855
01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:12,340
We put you in a lot of similar situations,

856
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:14,340
and simulations, and things that are so

857
01:23:14,340 --> 01:23:16,040
and you get the experience exactly.

858
01:23:16,120 --> 01:23:20,320
So you kind of understand what it's like to be in the classroom.

859
01:23:20,800 --> 01:23:22,780
And many of them go on to serve and help us

860
01:23:22,780 --> 01:23:27,720
community of the service volunteers when we had a various community of

861
01:23:27,720 --> 01:23:31,160
us that come part of our family so we couldn't do the mission that we did

862
01:23:31,160 --> 01:23:34,180
without them. So I might as a couple of dollars have come up and talk about

863
01:23:34,180 --> 01:23:37,940
those programs. Hi. Good evening everyone.

864
01:23:38,900 --> 01:23:40,800
Good evening. All right. So I'm going to talk about some

865
01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:45,480
what stuff. Okay. So I really like this so serious earlier, but now

866
01:23:45,480 --> 01:23:48,000
I'm going to talk about community engagement. A little bit

867
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:51,580
different from what we talked about earlier. So I'm

868
01:23:51,580 --> 01:23:57,760
more dollars with the community service team. This is my sergeant. So I know if the

869
01:23:57,760 --> 01:24:02,220
department is known to do a lot of community engagement. All right, so that's what we do.

870
01:24:02,340 --> 01:24:07,780
That's what our team does. So we have a common event. I know we talk about the census police

871
01:24:07,780 --> 01:24:14,380
academy. I have actually a couple here that graduated from one of the sessions.

872
01:24:18,580 --> 01:24:20,760
We are in the

873
01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:24,520
We're going to schedule it around wonder, okay?

874
01:24:24,620 --> 01:24:26,040
So if you, I know what we talked about,

875
01:24:26,080 --> 01:24:30,380
probably you guys hear about transparency more than a few times

876
01:24:30,380 --> 01:24:31,860
already tonight.

877
01:24:32,720 --> 01:24:36,060
So we're going to offer that class around winter.

878
01:24:36,500 --> 01:24:40,640
It actually show or in for our pretty much discuss

879
01:24:41,420 --> 01:24:44,560
what, how we operate in daily basis,

880
01:24:45,140 --> 01:24:48,720
what resources do we have, what do we investigate,

881
01:24:48,720 --> 01:24:57,120
And we actually have not a lot of speakers coming from different agencies as well share the problem will be in the class on the problem of corrections

882
01:24:57,760 --> 01:25:04,340
PG counted it that is will be in plus to just to give you guys a brief overview of what they do

883
01:25:04,340 --> 01:25:08,480
Okay, you know some cases here that happens actually in moving

884
01:25:08,480 --> 01:25:15,940
You know, PG counted still come and investigate that in some cases. All right, so if you're interested

885
01:25:15,940 --> 01:25:19,920
and hit me up, or it's up to me after,

886
01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:26,240
I'll give you my business card, so just to give you

887
01:25:26,240 --> 01:25:28,660
like a quick overview, says his police academy,

888
01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:30,320
so a third time we post, okay?

889
01:25:30,740 --> 01:25:33,540
It's so long, okay, but it's not.

890
01:25:33,740 --> 01:25:35,900
It's actually a lot of information every night.

891
01:25:36,240 --> 01:25:39,140
So we have different instructors that come in every Tuesday.

892
01:25:39,900 --> 01:25:43,480
So, okay, so it's from 6 to 9 p.m. here at City Hall.

893
01:25:43,480 --> 01:25:51,460
When you up to 30 weeks to graduate and then you become our volunteers, all right, so that's if that's what we are going to

894
01:25:51,460 --> 01:25:55,820
Guys, so every time we have a community engagement, we ask for help.

895
01:25:55,820 --> 01:26:05,520
We can't do it alone. We guys, we can't use support. All right, so every time we have community engagement, we ask for volunteers if you guys can help us out

896
01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:11,140
We really to be able to appreciate your health and on I know we have

She'll have to stop.

912
01:27:31,830 --> 01:27:32,150
She'll have to stop.

913
01:27:32,550 --> 01:27:33,750
She'll have to stop.

914
01:27:35,190 --> 01:27:35,490
Why?

915
01:27:35,850 --> 01:27:36,810
That's a big thing.

916
01:27:37,030 --> 01:27:37,410
She'll have to stop.

917
01:27:37,810 --> 01:27:39,190
I need you guys for that.

918
01:27:39,670 --> 01:27:39,910
All right.

919
01:27:40,090 --> 01:27:40,730
I need you guys.

920
01:27:41,290 --> 01:27:45,290

And we can receive $100 gift card.

01:27:59,030 --> 01:28:00,430
We'll take them to shopping.

925
01:28:00,930 --> 01:28:02,690
You know, they're going to be with the office.

926
01:28:02,990 --> 01:28:05,630
They will take them to shop around in Target,

927
01:28:06,410 --> 01:28:09,230
over Walmart, wherever we decided to share.

928
01:28:09,810 --> 01:28:11,990
And then we feed them, give them lunch,

929
01:28:12,150 --> 01:28:14,630
and we have plenty activities for them to do that day.

930
01:28:14,850 --> 01:28:17,850
And we actually provide them top of $100 gift card.

931
01:28:17,850 --> 01:28:24,370
We keep them up by the voice, so really, if you guys have extra cash out there

01:28:25,290 --> 01:28:31,970
We have something in the nation's suit, so if you need more information, it should be on our website soon

We have mentoring program. I call them mentoring program.

So it's every Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m.

938
01:29:00,410 --> 01:29:02,710
They get community service hours as well.

939
01:29:03,090 --> 01:29:05,930
Every time we go to like community engagement,

940
01:29:06,510 --> 01:29:07,630
they all, they would be.

941
01:29:08,070 --> 01:29:12,610
Those kids that will earn y'all of these shirts, those are my scores.

942
01:29:12,990 --> 01:29:15,970
They get community engagement as they actually get back to their community.

943
01:29:15,970 --> 01:29:25,730
Okay, you know P.J. currently they require 24 hours of right to wait now those are the best opportunities to actually get the convenience service officers and they actually get to know us

944
01:29:25,730 --> 01:29:30,390
Like the person behind this uniform. Okay, they're exposed to us

945
01:29:30,390 --> 01:29:34,850
So that's a great opportunity for them to actually get the convenience of the service hours

946
01:29:36,410 --> 01:29:41,930
I'll try to take back, he doesn't mean to have expired on pills or prescription drugs.

01:29:42,170 --> 01:29:43,490
He's going to be knocked over 26.

948
01:29:44,630 --> 01:29:47,550
That's Saturday from 10 to 2 years at the station.

949
01:29:48,250 --> 01:29:51,290
So just bring your on drugs prescription drugs.

950
01:29:51,590 --> 01:29:53,070
No questions, that's right.

951
01:29:53,630 --> 01:29:55,090
No questions, that's not my problem.

952
01:29:55,590 --> 01:29:56,030
No questions.

953
01:29:56,550 --> 01:29:59,790
That's going to be knocked over 26 Saturday from 10 to 2 p.m.

954
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:29,140
And then after that, it's January 3, October 30, 30, yes, 30, yes, yes. So that's Wednesday. So we're actually looking for vendors, if you want to participate and have your card in your trunk, people may can these, you're more than welcome to join us. It's going to be at the group to move it down center. All right, and that's from 5 to 7, and I think that's all I have.

955
01:30:29,140 --> 01:30:30,820
But if you have that, there are many questions.

956
01:30:31,740 --> 01:30:33,220
I'm going to give you that.

957
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:38,680
So I invite a few glad to invite you to speak about their experience,

958
01:30:38,940 --> 01:30:40,240
but it's in some of these academies.

959
01:30:40,720 --> 01:30:41,120
The answer.

960
01:30:41,820 --> 01:30:43,040
Are your volunteer opportunities,

961
01:30:43,140 --> 01:30:47,120
limited to those that live in actual incorporated?

962
01:30:48,400 --> 01:30:49,440
No, no, no.

963
01:30:49,680 --> 01:30:50,500
Who are you going on?

964
01:30:50,760 --> 01:30:52,420
Yep, we all got that.

965
01:30:52,980 --> 01:30:53,320
Everybody.

966
01:30:54,580 --> 01:30:54,580
Yep,

967
01:30:58,960 --> 01:30:59,380
in the three.

968
01:30:59,380 --> 01:31:00,320
Last

969
01:31:02,370 --> 01:31:08,390
year of November 28th, 2013, there was a community forum on rise in Juvenile Primary.

970
01:31:09,650 --> 01:31:09,770
There.

971
01:31:10,170 --> 01:31:11,250
Do you want to fully stay?

972
01:31:11,450 --> 01:31:11,790
Yes.

973
01:31:12,670 --> 01:31:14,610
Very well with the people in the rooms.

974
01:31:15,130 --> 01:31:19,390
It was extremely well attended and I was there from start to finish.

975
01:31:19,970 --> 01:31:25,530
It was very crowdsourced on what does the community think or solutions for it.

976
01:31:25,530 --> 01:31:29,650
And it was cross, multi-governal level, right?

977
01:31:29,990 --> 01:31:34,870
What do you think are there in this short coming statute

978
01:31:34,870 --> 01:31:39,830
that tire hands is the city police force that,

979
01:31:39,830 --> 01:31:43,350
you know, maybe the county has, for example,

980
01:31:43,910 --> 01:31:46,730
the National Grabs from retail stores,

981
01:31:47,510 --> 01:31:49,930
in some municipalities or states,

982
01:31:50,550 --> 01:31:53,190
they find that the threshold is so high,

983
01:31:53,190 --> 01:31:59,630
people who are making a point of just stealing $50 under what the level is of what they can steal

984
01:31:59,630 --> 01:32:08,050
so they have to raise it or they're age minimums that you're just not getting someone to.

985
01:32:09,190 --> 01:32:14,510
So yeah, I appreciate the question. It changes a lot of positions we can.

986
01:32:16,050 --> 01:32:20,990
So the state laws are the same for all of us whether it's the state, you know, the county level.

987
01:32:20,990 --> 01:32:37,470
So we all enforce the same laws that exist, but, you know, we have a good strong work of relationship with our state center around this world, like Councilor Warren, Igor Watson, he was the one, and he worked here with him as the one that organized the event at Bowie State.

988
01:32:37,990 --> 01:32:48,310
I noticed some of the issues surrounding some of the juvenile issues were addressed in the legislature, and those are things that have been well documented.

989
01:32:48,310 --> 01:32:54,650
you know, some of you may have seen recently on the news, there was a young man who was

990
01:32:54,650 --> 01:32:59,370
breaking into a lot of car dealerships of Montgomery County, was underage and it couldn't charge him.

991
01:33:00,870 --> 01:33:05,650
Those are challenges that exist based upon a lot. So because he was under the age,

992
01:33:05,730 --> 01:33:10,210
he could be criminally charged. So those are things that we continue to work with the legislature

993
01:33:10,210 --> 01:33:15,790
to try to address. I know that even with retail, they have to try to aggregate all of those

994
01:33:15,790 --> 01:33:20,250
and we can approve that they're responsible for multiple crimes, even in different jurisdictions.

995
01:33:20,790 --> 01:33:24,330
They'll be able to aggregate the brain oss together to preem it and charge those persons.

996
01:33:25,510 --> 01:33:29,470
So we can continue to work with the Senator on those issues and address those things,

997
01:33:29,970 --> 01:33:34,190
but nothing specific other than that is already well known that we already work with.

998
01:33:34,470 --> 01:33:35,170
Thank you.

999
01:33:36,110 --> 01:33:39,090
Do you anticipate a rising problem after this election?

1000
01:33:39,090 --> 01:34:09,070
I don't know. I hope not. I hope not. We don't want to see rise in crime. We want to see, we want to see

1001
01:34:09,070 --> 01:34:11,730
that we gave because I gave it to a county and speak

1002
01:34:11,730 --> 01:34:14,170
and I want to make sure we address some of the missing

1003
01:34:14,170 --> 01:34:15,450
numbers with speed cameras.

1004
01:34:15,790 --> 01:34:17,390
So speed cameras don't cause the city money.

1005
01:34:18,990 --> 01:34:20,530
And so that really has, I'm sorry.

1006
01:34:20,930 --> 01:34:21,570
It goes really money.

1007
01:34:21,850 --> 01:34:22,850
Well, I can't.

1008
01:34:23,410 --> 01:34:25,730
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

1009
01:34:25,790 --> 01:34:27,350
let me, let me say this about speed cameras.

1010
01:34:27,470 --> 01:34:30,990
And so we educate people on exactly of the threshold.

1011
01:34:31,090 --> 01:34:32,650
We don't have a got you program here.

1012
01:34:32,790 --> 01:34:34,490
We are fully, fully transparent.

1013
01:34:35,110 --> 01:34:37,330
Usually I break down and have every location,

1014
01:34:37,330 --> 01:34:39,610
the number of violations that exist.

1015
01:34:40,370 --> 01:34:41,670
We tell you where they are in advance.

1016
01:34:41,870 --> 01:34:43,990
We give it a have a rotation on October 1st.

1017
01:34:44,190 --> 01:34:46,750
I put it out 10 days in advance and tell you,

1018
01:34:46,970 --> 01:34:48,110
this is where we move the cameras.

1019
01:34:48,530 --> 01:34:50,350
So if you get a citation, shame on you.

1020
01:34:50,830 --> 01:34:53,470
Okay, so what I'm up with, what I'm going to be honest,

1021
01:34:53,690 --> 01:34:57,170
I'm in the way the real thing is that great majority

1022
01:34:57,170 --> 01:34:59,390
of not all of you all are residents, they live here in the city.

1023
01:35:00,030 --> 01:35:02,210
So I want to make sure and make it personal to you.

1024
01:35:02,510 --> 01:35:04,210
If you live on a residential street,

1025
01:35:04,650 --> 01:35:06,510
and you have small children or family members,

1026
01:35:06,510 --> 01:35:08,250
So you all like the walls.

1027
01:35:09,330 --> 01:35:11,550
Speed limit is 25 miles per hour, okay?

1028
01:35:13,030 --> 01:35:14,990
The camera law, you don't get a citation

1029
01:35:14,990 --> 01:35:16,830
so you're going to at least 12 miles per hour.

1030
01:35:17,770 --> 01:35:18,950
So can imagine your street,

1031
01:35:19,110 --> 01:35:22,550
so when coming down your street, doing, at that case,

1032
01:35:22,670 --> 01:35:25,390
to be 37 miles per hour, do you think that's excessive?

1033
01:35:26,490 --> 01:35:26,990
I do.

1034
01:35:27,670 --> 01:35:27,910
Okay.

1035
01:35:28,470 --> 01:35:30,970
So all I ask our residents to do is just slow down.

1036
01:35:32,010 --> 01:35:33,530
And you don't have to worry about getting a citation.

1037
01:35:34,210 --> 01:35:35,710
I was just trying to make one.

1038
01:35:35,710 --> 01:35:39,670
I'm just saying, but I mean, but I want everyone to fully understand the purpose of our

1039
01:35:39,670 --> 01:35:39,910
cameras.

1040
01:35:40,170 --> 01:35:43,270
Our cameras, the purpose is that it does cost a city money.

1041
01:35:43,710 --> 01:35:44,290
That's the goal.

1042
01:35:44,550 --> 01:35:47,790
And if it starts to cost a city money, that means that it's working.

1043
01:35:48,310 --> 01:35:51,850
Because that means the number of violations are coming down, that people are in compliance

1044
01:35:51,850 --> 01:35:53,290
and people are driving safer.

1045
01:35:53,570 --> 01:35:56,250
And in the day, we want safer roads here in the city.

1046
01:35:56,350 --> 01:36:00,890
It's not about making money, but those are things that we spend at the camera.

1047
01:36:01,030 --> 01:36:02,410
Only on residential streets.

1048
01:36:02,410 --> 01:36:07,630
So we had existing schools ons, but the law expanded to residential streets with a speed limit

1049
01:36:07,630 --> 01:36:12,510
is no greater than the 35 miles per hour, and so in all of those locations are based

1050
01:36:12,510 --> 01:36:17,210
upon complaints that we get, speed studies that we do, where we have chronic issues of

1051
01:36:17,210 --> 01:36:17,430
speed.

1052
01:36:17,630 --> 01:36:20,010
And that's how we determine those locations are where we deploy.

1053
01:36:20,430 --> 01:36:23,430
I mean, I mean, I'm in the MCH and I'm in the MCH and I'm in the MCH and I'm in the MCH

1054
01:36:23,430 --> 01:36:24,110
and I'm in the memory lane.

1055
01:36:24,570 --> 01:36:28,150
And people blow through the road all the time, but I put my basketball court out of the

1056
01:36:28,150 --> 01:36:31,250
in my kids plan on, and it deterres,

1057
01:36:31,330 --> 01:36:32,410
you know, because people see the best,

1058
01:36:32,670 --> 01:36:34,330
but we're always part of kids over here.

1059
01:36:35,210 --> 01:36:38,230
So, you know, I've been fine for leaving that out outside over night.

1060
01:36:38,630 --> 01:36:41,730
But is there something maybe I need to do to try

1061
01:36:41,730 --> 01:36:45,190
to get maybe a camera or a slowdown, you know,

1062
01:36:45,190 --> 01:36:46,230
come and through here.

1063
01:36:46,490 --> 01:36:47,930
For some, just having a great time on that.

1064
01:36:47,930 --> 01:36:52,310
So, if we have signs that are just deployed

1065
01:36:52,310 --> 01:36:54,410
by a part of the worst division, the slowdown signs.

1066
01:36:54,570 --> 01:36:56,350
But as a race or a speed camera,

1067
01:36:56,870 --> 01:36:57,850
you can send us a request.

1068
01:36:57,850 --> 01:37:00,190
We have a traffic management work group that

1069
01:37:00,190 --> 01:37:02,530
evaluates locations and that's how we determine.

1070
01:37:03,010 --> 01:37:04,370
So it's partnership between police department

1071
01:37:04,370 --> 01:37:07,250
public works to look at and evaluate locations.

1072
01:37:07,530 --> 01:37:08,850
There's a lot of factors to go in there.

1073
01:37:08,870 --> 01:37:10,830
I'm not going to have to bore you all with that to determine

1074
01:37:10,830 --> 01:37:13,710
whether the location meets the standards for a speed camera.

1075
01:37:15,590 --> 01:37:19,270
But those are things that we work toward.

1076
01:37:19,790 --> 01:37:22,710
But you can submit the request and we're going to evaluate and see

1077
01:37:22,710 --> 01:37:23,650
if it's conducive.

1078
01:37:28,850 --> 01:37:35,110
I know you sent out a list of where that they were going to be, if there was one on

1079
01:37:35,110 --> 01:37:36,900
Ken Hill and Stony Brook.

1080
01:37:38,650 --> 01:37:39,530
There all gone.

1081
01:37:40,030 --> 01:37:40,090
Yeah.

1082
01:37:40,090 --> 01:37:41,370
It was only a 30 day trial.

1083
01:37:42,490 --> 01:37:43,230
So they're all gone.

1084
01:37:43,250 --> 01:37:48,790
What we're doing now in next steps is we will evaluate the results of the information that

1085
01:37:48,790 --> 01:37:53,110
we were able to collect and determine to see how effective they were.

1086
01:37:53,650 --> 01:38:00,470
And that's something that, you know, we have a discussion with the city council about whether or not that's a

1087
01:38:00,470 --> 01:38:06,110
A resource that we would consider using in the future, but right now there was only a 30-day power program, but that's it.

1088
01:38:06,930 --> 01:38:08,470
That's exactly what you're talking about.

1089
01:38:08,470 --> 01:38:09,970
It's not like the fall of the world.

1090
01:38:10,490 --> 01:38:16,980
It's not like the point of rage and part of the park in turn.

1091
01:38:17,520 --> 01:38:21,500
Those people, they come through that stuff like it's not there.

1092
01:38:22,160 --> 01:38:24,320
I mean, they all day long.

1093
01:38:24,840 --> 01:38:27,120
And so I was happy to see that camera.

1094
01:38:27,300 --> 01:38:30,800
We've been going out there because it's a bunch of kids down here.

1095
01:38:31,040 --> 01:38:33,620
That's where they get on the bus, they go to school.

1096
01:38:33,620 --> 01:38:40,780
And he's still, you have the playground right here, all of that.

1097
01:38:40,920 --> 01:38:46,060
But they really do, they just go to the desktop time and I mean go through it.

1098
01:38:46,580 --> 01:38:54,480
You have a camera on there, but it's so far down, but it's time to get around to what that stop sign is.

1099
01:38:55,040 --> 01:39:03,520
They're flying again, so someone could just take a look at the location of that scammer.

1100
01:39:03,620 --> 01:39:10,620
Let's be Cameron that might open slow down enough to not go to that stop sound like well, and I'm gonna be honest

1101
01:39:10,620 --> 01:39:14,400
We're not gonna have enough speed camera. I think people complain. We got too many already

1102
01:39:15,160 --> 01:39:19,480
But what I would say is is that you know, they're effective where they're placed

1103
01:39:19,480 --> 01:39:21,820
Okay, is it gonna stop people from speeding?

1104
01:39:22,160 --> 01:39:25,620
We know people slow down with cameras and these feedback. We know that exists

1105
01:39:25,620 --> 01:39:29,820
What we're trying to do is encourage people to slow down and change their behaviors

1106
01:39:29,820 --> 01:39:35,400
Maybe this would be responsible within the city, you know, so that everyone is safe or so that's the goal of the program

1107
01:39:35,400 --> 01:39:36,900
That's what we would like to see

1108
01:39:39,560 --> 01:39:40,460
Any questions?

1109
01:39:41,520 --> 01:39:45,720
And yes, I'm sorry citizens can be graduates. I'll let you talk about the experience

1110
01:39:49,590 --> 01:39:51,570
Come on, now you might call us up here

1111
01:39:57,460 --> 01:39:58,300
Good evening

1112
01:39:58,820 --> 01:40:01,440
My name is Robin and I

1113
01:40:01,440 --> 01:40:10,540
I graduated from the Citizens Academy in 2015, I was in the very first class,

1114
01:40:13,240 --> 01:40:28,720
I think that if you have the opportunity to participate in the class, please participate, you learn all facets of policing, not only from the officers, but from the criminal justice members,

1115
01:40:29,620 --> 01:40:44,320
The classes are interactive and any of the discussions are on policing and you get to ask questions and just the participation is great.

1116
01:40:45,800 --> 01:40:51,500
Some of the classes just to let you know you get to visit the 911 call center.

1117
01:40:51,500 --> 01:41:01,320
You get to find out about evidence collection and what the CSI do, what the corners office does,

1118
01:41:01,500 --> 01:41:13,460
what SWAT does, and as was stated, it is a 13-week course and once you graduate, you do get to work with the officers as relates to the community.

1119
01:41:13,700 --> 01:41:19,960
I'm sure most of you have seen us at the tables, at various events helping out the officers.

1120
01:41:19,960 --> 01:41:29,380
So it's a wonderful course and please please if you get the opportunity to participate do participate and it's free

1121
01:41:29,960 --> 01:41:35,680
My name is Cynthia. I graduated class number nine. I think it was in

1122
01:41:35,680 --> 01:41:37,300
2020 or 2021

1123
01:41:38,300 --> 01:41:45,940
I came to the citizen academy because I was named to the city into the state of Maryland and I wanted to know more about city worst

1124
01:41:45,940 --> 01:41:50,820
Yeah, and so that's where it's in the eyes on the class and it is very informative

1125
01:41:50,820 --> 01:41:56,400
So it gives you the history of the city of Louis police how they form what the goals are

1126
01:41:56,400 --> 01:42:01,900
What they're trying to progress to and also builds that relationship for the community to the officer

1127
01:42:01,900 --> 01:42:09,520
It gives you that so instead of being a province of the community you're been a source or helpful to the community to have it grow

1128
01:42:09,520 --> 01:42:13,390
So as they as a city grows and you grow with the city

1129
01:42:14,270 --> 01:42:19,590
A lot of the things that they do talk about, they do have stuff for kids online, was one of the

1130
01:42:19,590 --> 01:42:24,590
things other services for the city, the county, the state has to offer for people that are in need.

1131
01:42:24,950 --> 01:42:26,410
They do have that as well.

1132
01:42:26,750 --> 01:42:30,590
And as she said, it's once you graduate, then you start helping out in various communities.

1133
01:42:30,890 --> 01:42:35,270
So if you like to help out and you like working with people, then this is an academy.

1134
01:42:35,650 --> 01:42:39,270
We'll be part of the group that you need to come and help with it to give back.

1135
01:42:39,310 --> 01:42:40,810
If you like giving back to your community.

1136
01:42:40,810 --> 01:42:50,490
because as the community grows and we get older then we need to teach our younger people about the community and keep it growing so our community can stay at its best.

1137
01:42:51,050 --> 01:42:55,110
The other part I'm going to talk about also works with the explorers.

1138
01:42:55,430 --> 01:43:03,990
So if you like having with kids and you can tolerate teenage kids and you have the patience for teenage kids, you need to come and have the explorers.

1139
01:43:03,990 --> 01:43:07,810
why I was looking for grown adults to help with them

1140
01:43:07,810 --> 01:43:11,830
because as you said it's a mentor, everybody can be a mentor.

1141
01:43:12,710 --> 01:43:15,130
So if you have that compassion for kids,

1142
01:43:15,330 --> 01:43:18,410
then come out on Thursday nights and help us with that.

1143
01:43:18,490 --> 01:43:20,670
Because they go through probably for seizures,

1144
01:43:21,170 --> 01:43:25,910
they go through how to recognize when they walk into a room,

1145
01:43:26,170 --> 01:43:27,410
if they're out with their friends,

1146
01:43:27,790 --> 01:43:30,650
kind of be a situation awareness and see what's going on.

1147
01:43:31,150 --> 01:43:33,970
I had to say no if someone is trying to convince them

1148
01:43:33,970 --> 01:43:38,890
to do drugs, or do wrong, or do a crime, then that builds their character up, but that.

1149
01:43:39,330 --> 01:43:40,270
Sorry, encourage you.

1150
01:43:40,770 --> 01:43:45,290
Citizen Academy, and then also the explorers to come out, can be a part of each of

1151
01:43:45,290 --> 01:43:46,150
the explorers.

1152
01:43:46,270 --> 01:43:49,570
Eight out of the explorers, she said it was 12 to 20.

1153
01:43:49,770 --> 01:43:50,210
14.

1154
01:43:50,690 --> 01:43:51,630
14 to 20?

1155
01:43:52,490 --> 01:43:52,730
Yes.

1156
01:43:53,190 --> 01:43:53,690
Come out.

1157
01:43:53,790 --> 01:43:55,190
And we always look upon volunteers.

1158
01:43:55,730 --> 01:43:57,950
And a citizen to Academy, you have to be an 18.

1159
01:43:58,790 --> 01:43:59,070
Yes.

1160
01:44:00,430 --> 01:44:01,070
Thank you, ladies.

1161
01:44:01,470 --> 01:44:01,730
Thank you.

1162
01:44:01,730 --> 01:44:03,450
I'm so happy to see you.

1163
01:44:07,030 --> 01:44:07,330
What?

1164
01:44:07,510 --> 01:44:08,970
Y'all get a glimpse of the, you know,

1165
01:44:09,290 --> 01:44:11,630
I don't just get up here and make statements on,

1166
01:44:11,630 --> 01:44:13,250
you know, these ladies are part of our family,

1167
01:44:13,870 --> 01:44:14,930
and all of them are joined with song.

1168
01:44:15,310 --> 01:44:16,950
And the bond and relationship, one of the things

1169
01:44:16,950 --> 01:44:18,950
that we talk about all the time is that,

1170
01:44:19,130 --> 01:44:20,650
and this is where we get real with those

1171
01:44:20,650 --> 01:44:21,690
that go to the City of Canterbury,

1172
01:44:21,870 --> 01:44:23,670
we all people just like the rest of you are.

1173
01:44:23,830 --> 01:44:26,430
We got families, we got children, you know,

1174
01:44:26,570 --> 01:44:29,270
we hurt, we have pains and sorrows just like everyone else.

1175
01:44:29,530 --> 01:44:31,210
And I think that as we develop a relationship,

1176
01:44:31,350 --> 01:44:32,290
and that's what we want to do,

1177
01:44:32,370 --> 01:44:33,730
is have that bond with our community.

1178
01:44:33,730 --> 01:44:35,210
because that's what's important.

1179
01:44:35,610 --> 01:44:36,630
We're part of this community.

1180
01:44:37,470 --> 01:44:38,950
We're not separate from the community.

1181
01:44:39,470 --> 01:44:40,870
And it's unfortunate that, you know,

1182
01:44:40,870 --> 01:44:41,910
we have to, you know,

1183
01:44:42,070 --> 01:44:44,190
talk about a critical incident that occurred.

1184
01:44:44,610 --> 01:44:46,430
And that's why I want to make sure, you know,

1185
01:44:46,610 --> 01:44:47,670
the point was made.

1186
01:44:47,790 --> 01:44:49,170
That does not define this, please.

1187
01:44:49,910 --> 01:44:51,450
What we do here tonight,

1188
01:44:51,550 --> 01:44:53,090
this is what the fire has to speak for.

1189
01:44:53,310 --> 01:44:55,090
This is what we spit out work done.

1190
01:44:55,530 --> 01:44:57,630
Day in and day in work hard for this.

1191
01:44:58,030 --> 01:44:59,830
All right, you all learn important to us as our residents.

1192
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:07,780
So we look forward to working with you all coming out to your community events. We get invited to your community

1193
01:45:07,780 --> 01:45:15,720
days, we show up to those things. That is what we do. And so it's important. So if they don't know

1194
01:45:15,720 --> 01:45:20,340
I have a question, I appreciate everybody coming out this evening. Hope everybody has a safe trip

1195
01:45:20,340 --> 01:45:23,940
I call, again, call as it means, okay?

1196
01:45:24,400 --> 01:45:25,460
Make sure you take care of each other.

1197
01:45:25,680 --> 01:45:26,280
I'd be thank you.

1198
01:45:26,740 --> 01:45:27,540
I'd be thank you.

1199
01:45:30,840 --> 01:45:31,640
You'll see me.
