[0:09] >> Kate Sullivan after 10, the [0:09] call [0:10] to order ccpd Board of [0:13] directors meeting for Friday. [0:18] AUGUST 20. [0:19] First item of business is a [0:21] consideration of Fy 27 [0:24] recommended ccpd budget. [0:24] Keith Morris. [0:27] Keith Moore system, director [0:29] of police. [0:30] >> a few follow-up slides that [0:31] I sent through base and some of [0:33] the conversation that we had. [0:33] I think we do have queued up [0:36] behind that. The other slides [0:38] for me to get into them. [0:39] So I'll just share a little bit [0:39] this morning and then here for [0:42] any questions that you MAY [0:46] have. [0:50] So this is a simplified version [0:50] other so much and ccpd 50 over [0:51] 50 programs. They each have a [0:52] very unique identity. And so [0:57] it's always a challenge how to. [0:58] Divide it out. And so we try to [1:01] go simple on this. Just show [1:04] you the overall changes between [1:05] 26 and 27. [1:08] With the the total increased [1:10] expenses of 8.1 million. [1:11] The increase in revenue of [1:11] 6 Million. And then we have [1:14] a plan to use of fund balance [1:17] of 2.1 And so that's kind of [1:18] how all the numbers shake out. [1:20] What we presented on Tuesday [1:23] between all the programs. [1:27] Also in here. [1:30] Is kind of a simplified. [1:30] The tale of the staffing [1:32] changes. Those are just the [1:34] the affected programs. And and [1:35] the 26 numbers in the 27 [1:38] numbers and kind of how they [1:39] change. We had some some [1:41] changing between programs to [1:46] staff up programs like bike [1:46] Patrol. And [1:49] and move some positions over [1:53] from. General fund for the big. [1:54] Community alliance commands, [1:55] the mugger expiry Graham [1:58] positions. That kind of thing. [1:59] And this tunnel positions that [2:02] are listed in there as well. [2:06] The other slides that I [2:08] provided sent through [2:09] yesterday. Hopefully you got [2:13] them provides a summary of the [2:14] changes for each program. [2:16] And so with that, I'll open [2:16] up to any questions because [2:19] lots of different programs and [2:20] maybe a lot of different [2:21] questions. [2:23] >> I just question Liz, with [2:24] could we get one question about [2:25] the decrease in the one percent [2:27] decrease in that see it team. [2:30] >> Yes, that's a sergeant that [2:30] we [2:34] moved over to the Stockyards [2:38] Bike Patrol team. Okay. [2:42] Just a point of clarification. [2:43] Keith cover for us with what [2:46] reductions you as it impacts a [2:48] crime prevention specials. [2:50] >> So the crime prevention [2:51] specialist program. So we went [2:52] through the reductions, the one [2:52] of the 3% reductions across the [2:56] board. We didn't ccpd as well. [2:56] So all of [2:56] >> the department was going [3:00] through the same reductions. [3:00] And so we identified some [3:01] reductions in each program. [3:02] i believe in the crime [3:05] prevention specialist program. [3:06] We had some reductions in [3:07] operating supplies and some [3:09] of the signs we look, there's [3:11] still left some in there, but [3:13] the deputy chiefs reviewed each [3:15] of the units underneath their [3:16] command to look at reductions [3:19] in the individual program. [3:20] So rather than cutting large [3:20] programs, that was a little [3:22] bit of cut the individual [3:26] programs. Right? Because it's a [3:29] court members. Thank you, Keith [3:33] >> no, she car seen. I we've [3:34] we've had conversations [3:35] regarding the constitutional [3:37] policing and I think the really [3:37] good things do come from that [3:41] specially driven from data, not [3:42] just the motion and part of [3:44] that conversation was regarding [3:45] a part of the shared mission as [3:46] well and really evaluating [3:47] those partners and make sure [3:48] that we have the right ones in [3:50] place. So I don't know if [3:52] you've got to just be on the [3:52] spot just so others can hear [3:53] isn't it was great information. [3:54] Just talk about what you're [3:57] your plan. Is there in your [3:58] outlook? [3:58] Oh, yes, councilmember, thanks [4:01] for the question. I think I [4:03] learned to it on Tuesday when [4:03] we look at our partners [4:04] partnerships of really taking a [4:06] look through a criminal to [4:07] cleanse of the programs are [4:08] provided. [4:09] >> Obviously, as we said [4:10] before, as we've talked about [4:11] with budgets to meet a [4:12] particular in these times as [4:14] well, being good stewards of [4:15] our ccpd dollars. We have to [4:17] ensure that we have programs [4:18] that are just nice to have but [4:19] actually have shown that [4:21] they're they do have an impact [4:21] and what we're trying to [4:23] accomplish with ccpd, which is [4:26] a reduction of crime prevention [4:27] of crime and better public [4:28] safety. And so by looking [4:30] through a chronological lands, [4:31] we're gonna be able to see what [4:33] programs actually have shown. [4:34] There's literature of their [4:34] sons around the country, [4:35] working with criminologist to [4:39] show that they have worked. [4:40] In addition to that, what [4:42] programs what metrics do when [4:44] you do? We need to grade these [4:44] programs. Are they offering a [4:46] year year basis? What you [4:48] promised that you would offer. [4:49] So if you're going to we're [4:49] going to fund you and we hope [4:51] that what you promise we're [4:55] going to have that is showing [4:57] it's worth. And so I think it's [4:58] something that I'm looking [4:58] through and through coming, a [5:00] logical lenses were being data [5:01] driven in looking at the [5:02] programs that we have really, [5:03] truly just looking at it and [5:04] say, look at what programs are [5:06] nice and what program have [5:08] shown evidence that they work. [5:09] And obviously that's gonna help [5:11] in our selection process in the [5:14] sand. As we go to you know, to [5:18] that program. [5:18] Any other questions? [5:24] I have one general when Keith. [5:26] As far as you know, we we start [5:28] off, you know, and ccpd [5:29] funding. You know, some pilot [5:30] programs, then, you know, times [5:34] are shift over to grant, you [5:35] know, funding all they can you [5:36] cover what what programs have [5:39] shifted from pilots to Graham. [5:45] From pilot to grant Planning [5:46] Theresa. So. [5:48] Our goal is always to maximize [5:48] the resources that are [5:49] available to us and bringing [5:51] grandson cops. Hiring is a is [5:53] a. [5:55] >> Certainly an example of [5:57] that. So whether you're talking [6:00] about police programs or [6:01] nonprofit programs, we're [6:02] structured really to be looking [6:05] for effective programs that [6:06] we can formalize. And so some [6:08] programs are coming to ccpd [6:09] Partners, for example. Pilot [6:12] programs that are getting off [6:14] the ground. That they're [6:15] evaluating themselves were [6:15] evaluating them to move [6:19] towards, you know, potentially [6:20] more [6:20] permanent funding. [6:23] >> Yeah, I see Chief Garcia [6:23] general you back there. I don't [6:24] know if he has something to [6:24] spell. I was just going to say [6:25] also as we go through this [6:26] process, would nothing's going [6:28] to be a surprise any of you? [6:29] I mean, I plan on meeting with [6:30] each one of the one on one [6:30] individual. It us know where [6:33] we're at in the process when it [6:34] as it pertains to those [6:34] programming. Some of the other [6:36] programs we talked about as [6:38] well to the right. I guess my [6:39] point is that they were not [6:41] necessarily, you know, loading [6:41] the ccpd budget, their [6:42] opportunities where we can [6:45] shift over to grant funding [6:47] that. [6:51] Where we can without doing any [6:52] supplanting. So it the unique [6:53] circumstances, something that [6:54] we work through. But we do try [6:54] to maximize funding. [6:55] >> And all the different [6:59] resources that we have a [7:02] >> Got to say. Thank you. [7:02] Michael. We have one question [7:06] for you. This MAY be for the [7:08] chief. We received. [7:09] MR. Had are here. Sounds like [7:09] he wanted to submit comments. [7:10] And then when it makes peak of [7:14] the public, but doesn't look [7:15] like it's here, he raised some [7:18] questions here, chief, just [7:22] about some of alpr license [7:24] plate readers. As part of that, [7:24] I wonder and I know the flock [7:27] has come out with some [7:27] suggestions and things you've [7:28] been speaking about what we're [7:29] doing. I know you're going to [7:32] get the full presentation at [7:33] some point, but I think since [7:33] this is raising the in the [7:35] context of our budget and what [7:37] we're spending on this [7:37] technology, a fair chance to [7:41] answer what we're doing already [7:44] here in Fort Worth. [7:48] Councilmember. And thank you [7:48] for the question. [7:48] >> You know, as his [7:50] conversations come up, [7:52] obviously we've been working [7:52] diligently with our [7:55] constitutional policing unit [7:56] obviously wouldn't start. [7:56] I want to finish as we didn't [7:59] start thinking about this on [8:00] Tuesday. [8:02] Obviously one of the things the [8:03] constitutional policing that [8:04] unit doesn't particularly with [8:04] the help of our real time crime [8:07] center and the hard-working [8:09] individual that work there that [8:11] really rely on this technology [8:11] and starting their one of the [8:14] jobs that they do is not look [8:14] at only internal things that [8:15] are going on with the [8:15] department with national [8:17] issues. Are we going to have to [8:19] deal with and sure enough case [8:22] in point here where? You know, [8:22] before I start, one of the [8:24] things that I'd like to say [8:24] from a technology perspective [8:25] is you have to be responsible [8:27] with it. There's no question [8:30] about it. You know, back when [8:32] I started in the early 90's [8:34] was really within the last few [8:35] years of that was the advent of [8:38] having what's called in the [8:40] tease. Your patrol car. And [8:40] with an empty teen, your patrol [8:42] car, your act, you have access [8:43] to all see just information, [8:46] right? That's very regulated. [8:47] You have to get certified, et [8:48] cetera, et cetera. There's [8:48] criminal culpability for its [8:51] misuse as well as [8:51] administrative. But with that [8:54] tool that I had in the early [8:54] 90's. [8:56] Obviously can run license [8:58] plates, which cars are stolen. [8:59] You know, who has warrants who [9:01] have suspended driver's [9:04] license. Where's the gun? [9:05] Registered to? Does someone [9:06] have an emergency protective [9:10] order against them, et cetera? [9:11] Arguably, to me, that's the [9:13] most valuable tool that I think [9:14] one of the most valuable tools [9:15] law enforcement has is the [9:17] ability or officers to do that [9:19] at their fingertips. Now, if an [9:22] officer does. Something wrong [9:24] and inappropriate. [9:26] My opinion, you certainly don't [9:28] throw the system a way that is [9:28] the most beneficial system for [9:29] a lot to law enforcement. [9:33] That time you deal with that [9:33] particular officer and you also [9:37] set things in stone to make [9:38] sure that you respect that tool [9:38] and make sure that we're [9:41] operating in a way that has [9:44] guardrails. Now, when I look [9:45] at flocking Lpr, listen, I've [9:48] been doing this job for over [9:50] 3 decades and I remember life [9:50] is a police officer without [9:54] technology. And oftentimes I [9:56] marvel. With a with a smile [9:58] as to the benefits that this [10:00] generation of police officer [10:01] has with the technology to [10:02] deliver the services that our [10:05] residents and our victims want [10:07] as quickly as possible. [10:07] You know, you saw the reduction [10:08] in violent crime that we had. [10:11] We done this presentation on [10:12] Tuesday. Not only is that [10:12] because of the hard work of the [10:14] men and women of this police [10:15] department. But in fact, [10:16] because of the technology that [10:17] we have that does include [10:21] flocking that does include [10:21] alpr. Now I've seen a lot of [10:25] conversations she's about [10:25] around the country about the [10:28] arguments about keeping flock [10:30] and how flux Creighton. [10:31] There's not a chief in this [10:32] country, myself included. [10:33] That's not going to tell you [10:35] how invaluable it is to have [10:37] this technology with us. [10:38] The one part that I think I I [10:38] MAY differ is the fact that [10:40] that's not with the [10:44] discussions. You know, to take [10:44] the line from Spiderman. [10:47] But with great power comes [10:50] great responsibility and I do [10:51] think and I do. [10:52] As being in this job for a very [10:53] long time and police chief [10:55] since 2016, I will tell you [10:55] that we need more guardrails [10:58] when these type of with these [10:59] type of instruments, even [11:02] though again, we do not want to [11:02] go back to the dark ages, a law [11:04] enforcement without these 2 [11:08] teams. And so as we look at [11:09] these things, we started [11:10] working on a on a work plan. [11:11] And if you think you MAY [11:13] recall, actually, when Doctor [11:14] Del Carmen actually first gave [11:15] us our constitute constitute a [11:16] policing unit. He did mention [11:21] flock in those conversations. [11:22] And so right now we're [11:23] developing a scope right where [11:25] we're going to develop a [11:25] structured process for its [11:29] overall use. The inventory in [11:31] the deployment document [11:31] evaluating the hit to dispatch [11:33] decision. And what that means [11:36] is when our tcc gets a hit, [11:37] you know how that is [11:40] communicated in vetted for [11:40] officers to take action. [11:41] We're drafting and implementing [11:43] a misuse detection audit system [11:46] in mechanism. We're going sure [11:46] that the governing policy is [11:50] precise regarding authorize and [11:50] prohibited. Use. We're going [11:51] to analyze historical data to [11:54] help determine the program's [11:55] efficiency. You know, the [11:58] overall use will be composed of [12:00] who has access to flock Lpr in [12:02] the reasons for those requests [12:04] standardizing the query [12:07] standards case number offense, [12:09] type documented, justification, [12:10] etc. The training in the annual [12:12] recertification for continued [12:12] access. And this was [12:13] interesting to me because the [12:14] other day I had to recertify [12:15] my sieges. All right, that we [12:17] have to do every single year. [12:18] And I'll get into the penalties [12:21] of misuse of see just in a [12:23] little it. But as I was going [12:23] through that I thought to [12:26] myself, always policy, always [12:27] lags behind technology. It [12:28] always does. It has for the [12:30] entire time I've been a cop. [12:31] It was I looked through that [12:33] with the conversations we're [12:34] having. I'm like, why doesn't [12:37] this type of recertification [12:37] work for a tool such as [12:38] flocking Lpr so that we are [12:41] recertify officers every single [12:43] year. So we're going to be [12:44] starting to do that and [12:45] obviously training data, [12:48] retention preservation in [12:49] sharing guidelines. We're going [12:50] sure the current camera [12:52] inventory in the footprint is [12:54] continually updated and [12:55] accurate. One of the value, a [12:57] deployment decision strategies [12:58] and the overall process looking [12:59] at crime rates looking a crime [13:00] type. As I mentioned before, [13:01] if you look at our crime is [13:03] here in the city in the room, [13:04] massive reductions that we're [13:04] having is is due in part [13:07] because of this technology. [13:09] Classifier deployments. What [13:11] areas are redeploying that [13:12] their high crime placement. [13:14] What areas are we to point for [13:15] quarter perimeter placement? [13:18] What areas replacement based on [13:19] support of crime? Gotta. [13:20] You know, our hit to dispatch [13:22] decision. As I mentioned [13:22] earlier, we want to examine [13:25] the process and the steps of [13:26] the events from the hit to [13:29] determining the appropriate [13:30] response. We want to set [13:31] protocols are per user hits and [13:33] dispatch its meaning when [13:37] officer. Uses a system to get [13:40] a hit as opposed to when they [13:42] are tcc gets a hit. [13:42] When examined data to measure [13:45] the response in the outcome [13:48] results. When we look about [13:50] misuse detection audit with [13:51] automated and continue a system [13:53] that alert a system [13:54] administrator potential misuse [13:56] flock currently has a system [13:56] based on algorithms and search [13:58] criteria. They provide daily [14:02] feedback. We want to develop [14:05] a manual. A process for random [14:06] sampling as well. Not too [14:06] dissimilar. Random sampling of [14:07] body-worn camera footage with a [14:10] lot of myriad of other things [14:11] that we use. [14:12] Right now. We look at the [14:13] governing policies. This is [14:15] something that, again, I MAY [14:15] differ. There is no [14:19] comprehensive Texas Alpr slash [14:21] fought flock statute. [14:23] Department policy is there for [14:24] the only consistent access to [14:27] its use and how you hold [14:29] individuals accountable. [14:32] All say that the use of flock, [14:33] the misuse of flock or lpr [14:34] should carry similar penalties [14:35] both administratively and [14:39] criminally as to see just [14:40] violations. And I know I've [14:42] spoken to the city attorney's [14:43] office regards to the we're [14:44] going to need a I'll be the [14:45] first chief to testify in [14:47] Austin to say that that is [14:50] necessary. I see no reason why [14:50] misuse of flock in pr is not in [14:52] the same category view of [14:56] misusing sieges. We're going [14:57] to rework our current Fort [14:58] Worth pd. Opr general order to [15:00] ensure policies and procedures [15:01] are appropriate. [15:02] And will utilize crime data to [15:03] evaluate the effectiveness and [15:04] productivity. Each device [15:06] related to the deployment [15:09] location. You know, working [15:10] through this. And I know we're [15:12] going to MARCH broader [15:13] presentation to council. [15:14] I hope we can all stipulate [15:17] the fact of the amount of lives [15:19] and how. [15:20] Our victims have had have [15:22] gotten justice by the use of [15:23] techno this technology. But we [15:27] will have many, many examples [15:31] as to how. This system has [15:31] given victims, justice and how [15:35] these systems have reduced [15:36] violent crime in our city while [15:37] at the same time, understanding [15:38] the responsibilities of a [15:39] professional police department [15:41] to ensure that we have [15:42] guardrails. So again, I know [15:44] this is not the presentation. [15:45] We will have a much more robust [15:47] presentation. But I thank you [15:48] for the question because I [15:48] don't want council to think [15:51] that we just began thinking of [15:53] these issues Tuesday. We've [15:55] been thinking of them for a [15:56] while, simply as a tool that [15:59] no police department, this [16:01] country has the luxury of [16:01] losing. We have to us similar [16:03] to tell my rank and file with [16:05] regards to the trust and the [16:07] support we get from the city. [16:08] We need to treat that as a [16:10] precious gift in a system such [16:11] as this is powerful, such as [16:12] this that can help us and has [16:13] helped assault numerous amount [16:16] of crimes. We treat the same [16:19] thing. [16:22] Thank you. [16:22] I think thanks for that many [16:25] presentation and the bigger [16:26] presentation that we [16:26] >> might have. I think we can [16:29] all probably find examples of [16:30] the district where the [16:32] technology has, as you said, [16:32] serve justice in some way, [16:36] shape or form. I can think of [16:37] Las Vegas trail going to but [16:39] I'm sure we all can come of the [16:41] examples as part of that, too. [16:42] I'm glad to hear you're already [16:43] thinking about how this [16:46] technology keep it safe and [16:47] keep we hear horror stories. [16:49] What's happening that MAY be [16:49] officers might be accessing it [16:51] to find girlfriends, [16:53] ex-girlfriends, things like [16:53] that. And so I'm glad you're [16:54] already looking at that to make [16:56] sure that's not happening here [16:58] in Fort Worth and also being [16:59] willing to speak up to it and a [17:01] legislative sense to make sure [17:01] it's not happening statewide. [17:04] I'll say this councilmember. [17:08] >> The reality of it is is, [17:11] you know, if there's systems. [17:12] >> We need to do with [17:14] them harshly purging the system [17:14] such as this and ensure our [17:17] city's the wrong word probably [17:19] was severely. [17:20] To understand how important [17:21] this is to our community, how [17:24] important this is to the rank [17:26] and file for every misuse that [17:28] there is you're putting in [17:28] jeopardy. The amazing work that [17:30] men and women are using with [17:31] this technology. Every single [17:33] day to reduce violent crime in [17:34] our city and to protect [17:37] victims. It's simply a tool we [17:37] cannot lose. [17:41] You know, I will say this just [17:42] to kind of, you know. [17:43] Wrap this up a little bit [17:44] increase on khon. You hear that [17:45] the U.S. Law does not recognize [17:48] an absolute right to privacy in [17:48] public spaces. [17:49] >> And as baseline 4th [17:52] Amendment, you know, governance [17:53] at Christiana question. [17:54] No, I don't have a question. [17:54] I just want to add to what you [17:56] and bring back is a [17:57] presentation. [17:59] >> I listen to the things that [18:01] put in place and he talked [18:03] about the success is a flop. [18:04] i also want to see him at the [18:04] recommendation on that [18:08] recommendation. That [18:10] presentation is where we have [18:11] had missteps in the flock [18:15] camera. If there's any where [18:16] we have abuse and forward [18:18] police department as well as [18:18] nationally. So we can actually [18:19] look at both sides and we [18:23] actually have a conversation. [18:25] Also, he's got a ride, won't be [18:26] able to speak nationally [18:28] without speaking specifically [18:29] to individual chief. So that in [18:30] reading media, but I can [18:30] certainly go into what we what [18:32] we've seen since we've been [18:35] using that tool. [18:36] >> Okay. Well, [18:36] maybe legal that study is [18:39] what's happened around the [18:42] world. Maybe your quest who [18:43] says he's coming back. I've had [18:43] the opportunity several times [18:46] to see a real time crime center [18:47] in person. And if that has not [18:49] been of offered to every [18:50] council member, please do that [18:52] and let them see if their own [18:53] schedule to see in person asked [18:53] the questions prior to a [18:56] presentation is I think it [18:58] would help a bit. [18:59] >> And also I have a more [18:59] informed and question answer [19:01] session with with chief and [19:01] command staff. So thank you. [19:06] Have the team reading there. [19:09] Some thank you. Chief. [19:13] Do we have pending action on [19:14] this? But do we have any [19:15] speakers present that we [19:15] needed? Lee weavers have [19:16] registered speakers had like to [19:18] call them. I don't believe [19:19] either one is present. [19:21] >> Our first registered speaker [19:24] is and Joseph, a Dari. MR. [19:27] Had already here. [19:27] And then the other individual [19:28] who wrapped who signed up to [19:31] speak is Ryan on this. Ali. [19:35] And then also just for the [19:36] record, there were written [19:37] comments that were submitted [19:38] that were distributed to the [19:38] board and also handed out this [19:39] morning. They'll be on file, as [19:42] I believe, the board members to [19:42] see that. [19:43] Elsewhere. Flores, yet to [19:46] comment before we vote on the [19:46] budget. I just want to [19:47] compliment keys and your team. [19:48] You work very hard behind the [19:49] scenes and some as we ask the [19:51] tough questions on the fly. [19:52] And so I just [19:52] >> I thought it was necessary [19:53] for us to thank you all for [19:56] your hard work working with [19:56] pd and the rest of the team. [19:57] >> Thank you, mayor. They've [19:57] been doing some deep diving on [20:02] those numbers. It is [20:04] appreciated. All right. [20:05] Chris, I know that you had I [20:07] think you have some questions [20:08] and follow-up questions. [20:09] Mayor suggested maybe we do [20:09] some things avail ourselves [20:11] of, you know, some information [20:14] prior to that. But are there [20:18] any future agenda items? [20:20] >> We do need action upon the [20:21] right revive a first on the [20:22] budget. Okay. First and second [20:25] all in favor indicate by saying [20:27] Aye. All right. Nas seeing none [20:31] that passes. Now future agenda [20:32] items. Anybody. [20:34] Guess what I asked was if usage [20:38] and I yeah. It's been noted [20:40] staff. We clear on that.
