1
00:00:07,491 --> 00:00:09,891
Good afternoon, everyone. It's

2
00:00:10,126 --> 00:00:12,526
Excuse me. On Wednesday,

3
00:00:12,596 --> 00:00:13,331
SEPTEMBER, the 9th 2026.

4
00:00:13,331 --> 00:00:15,465
Welcome to the public. Room of

5
00:00:15,465 --> 00:00:16,200

6
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:17,702
the Public Safety Committee of

7
00:00:17,702 --> 00:00:18,335
the City County Council. We'll

8
00:00:18,335 --> 00:00:20,171
start introductions this

9
00:00:20,171 --> 00:00:23,640
evening with art cost to our

10
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:24,308
left council running. Thank

11
00:00:24,308 --> 00:00:27,908

00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:36,821
Illini District 2. It perfect.

16
00:00:36,821 --> 00:00:39,524
Thank you, MR. Chaired up the

17
00:00:39,524 --> 00:00:40,224
Carlos Perkins District 6.

18
00:00:40,224 --> 00:00:42,624
Thanks, MISTER Everyone Keep

19
00:00:43,728 --> 00:00:44,363

20
00:00:44,363 --> 00:00:46,763
MR. Chair Frankness Care

21
00:00:46,864 --> 00:00:47,598
District 19 southeast side.

22
00:00:47,598 --> 00:00:50,598
Thank you, MR. CHAIRMAN Dan

23
00:00:50,868 --> 00:00:51,569
Boots District 3, Lawrence,

24
00:00:51,569 --> 00:00:52,703
Washington townships. I also

25
00:00:52,703 --> 00:00:54,639
we were Robertson chair, the

26
00:00:54,639 --> 00:00:55,373
committee. Represent District

27
00:00:55,373 --> 00:00:57,309
one. We have one guest council

28
00:00:57,309 --> 00:00:57,975
this evening. Council Brown.

29
00:00:57,975 --> 00:01:00,279
Thank you, MR. Chair Jesse

30
00:01:00,279 --> 00:01:02,513
Brown District 13. Thank you.

31
00:01:02,513 --> 00:01:03,181
Council. But first we have to

32
00:01:03,181 --> 00:01:05,181
presentation this evening.

33
00:01:06,484 --> 00:01:07,119
Going to 27 budget up first.

34
00:01:07,119 --> 00:01:08,219
Is it up, especially Park

35
00:01:08,219 --> 00:01:10,619
Police Department and chief

36
00:01:10,922 --> 00:01:13,570
talking to Terry and Welcome

37
00:01:13,570 --> 00:01:15,457
Thank you. CHAIRMAN Robinson,

38
00:01:17,962 --> 00:01:18,629
my mic working ok? Yes, Mary.

39
00:01:18,629 --> 00:01:21,465
All right. I'm gonna start

40
00:01:21,465 --> 00:01:23,465
with introductory remarks

41
00:01:23,835 --> 00:01:26,637
before I get into the actual

42
00:01:26,637 --> 00:01:28,272
presentation. And you'll hear

43
00:01:28,272 --> 00:01:30,908
from our cfo DePaul to my

44
00:01:30,908 --> 00:01:33,544
right with some details on the

45
00:01:33,544 --> 00:01:35,546
budget after I present an

46
00:01:35,546 --> 00:01:36,948
introductory presentation and

47
00:01:36,948 --> 00:01:37,615
then you'll hear some

48
00:01:37,615 --> 00:01:39,818
additional comments from me

49
00:01:39,818 --> 00:01:42,688
before we go into questions.

50
00:01:42,688 --> 00:01:44,155
So CHAIRMAN Robinson and

51
00:01:44,155 --> 00:01:45,230
members of the Public Safety

52
00:01:45,230 --> 00:01:45,858
and Criminal Justice

53
00:01:45,858 --> 00:01:46,558
Committee. Good evening and

54
00:01:46,558 --> 00:01:47,159
thank you for the opportunity

55
00:01:47,159 --> 00:01:49,127
to speak with you this

56
00:01:49,127 --> 00:01:50,195
evening. Want to begin by

57
00:01:50,195 --> 00:01:53,195
sharing my deep gratitude for

58
00:01:53,898 --> 00:01:55,501
each of you. For your support

59
00:01:55,501 --> 00:01:56,568
of the Annapolis Metropolitan

60
00:01:56,568 --> 00:01:58,437
Police Department and for the

61
00:01:58,437 --> 00:01:59,171
men and women who dedicate

62
00:01:59,171 --> 00:02:02,171
themselves to serving our city

63
00:02:03,375 --> 00:02:04,576
every single day. Also want to

64
00:02:04,576 --> 00:02:05,611
extend my sincere thanks to

65
00:02:05,611 --> 00:02:06,311
Mayor Hogsett for his

66
00:02:06,311 --> 00:02:08,647
leadership and for the budget

67
00:02:08,647 --> 00:02:09,548
proposal before you. This

68
00:02:09,548 --> 00:02:10,282
administration has

69
00:02:10,282 --> 00:02:12,682
demonstrated its support for

70
00:02:13,352 --> 00:02:14,860
impd year after year. And this

71
00:02:14,860 --> 00:02:16,889
proposed budget is yet another

72
00:02:16,889 --> 00:02:19,525
example of that. It's crucial

73
00:02:19,525 --> 00:02:20,259
to have a city that truly

74
00:02:20,259 --> 00:02:22,659
values understands and invests

75
00:02:23,929 --> 00:02:24,630
in its police department.

76
00:02:24,630 --> 00:02:25,264
Especially when we know that

77
00:02:25,264 --> 00:02:26,732
law enforcement agencies

78
00:02:26,732 --> 00:02:27,432
across the country are facing

79
00:02:27,432 --> 00:02:29,100
challenges in recruiting and

80
00:02:29,100 --> 00:02:31,401
retaining their officers. This

81
00:02:32,104 --> 00:02:34,373
budget provides that assurance

82
00:02:34,373 --> 00:02:35,574
backing words of support with

83
00:02:35,574 --> 00:02:36,308
meaningful action to ensure

84
00:02:36,308 --> 00:02:38,544
the men and women of impd have

85
00:02:38,544 --> 00:02:39,111
what they need to serve our

86
00:02:39,111 --> 00:02:41,111
community safely and

87
00:02:42,181 --> 00:02:44,581
effectively. I stood before

88
00:02:44,850 --> 00:02:45,551
you about 7 months ago when I

89
00:02:45,551 --> 00:02:49,540
was sworn in as chief of this

90
00:02:49,540 --> 00:02:50,489
great police Department. And

91
00:02:50,489 --> 00:02:51,190
that moment I tried to capture

92
00:02:51,190 --> 00:02:54,660
what I was feeling in just 3

93
00:02:54,660 --> 00:02:57,600
words. Honored, humbled and

94
00:02:57,863 --> 00:02:59,599
grateful. Today. Those words

95
00:02:59,599 --> 00:03:02,599
still ring true, perhaps even

96
00:03:04,236 --> 00:03:04,971
more than before. I thought I

97
00:03:04,971 --> 00:03:05,672
understood what I was stepping

98
00:03:05,672 --> 00:03:08,741
into when I accepted the role

99
00:03:08,741 --> 00:03:10,910
of chief. But the past several

100
00:03:10,910 --> 00:03:11,711
months have shown me the

101
00:03:11,711 --> 00:03:15,311
reality and no ways that I

102
00:03:16,248 --> 00:03:17,951
could prepare for. So

103
00:03:17,951 --> 00:03:18,985
alongside families and moments

104
00:03:18,985 --> 00:03:21,985
of heartbreak and watch our

105
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:22,921
officers bring calm chaos.

106
00:03:22,921 --> 00:03:23,590
I've seen them run toward

107
00:03:23,590 --> 00:03:25,990
situations that would stop

108
00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:28,194
most people in their tracks. I

109
00:03:28,194 --> 00:03:30,594
watched the mentor, children

110
00:03:30,797 --> 00:03:32,265
check on our neighbors in need

111
00:03:32,265 --> 00:03:33,533
and quietly solve problems

112
00:03:33,533 --> 00:03:35,835
that never make the headlines

113
00:03:35,835 --> 00:03:37,537
but absolutely changed lives.

114
00:03:37,537 --> 00:03:39,172
These are not just stories of

115
00:03:39,172 --> 00:03:39,939
policing their stories of

116
00:03:39,939 --> 00:03:42,939
humanity, of courage and of

117
00:03:46,450 --> 00:03:46,679
service. Since then, we've had

118
00:03:46,679 --> 00:03:48,481
5 officers shot. Several

119
00:03:48,481 --> 00:03:50,283
officers shot at. And officers

120
00:03:50,283 --> 00:03:52,252
attacked and injured simply

121
00:03:52,252 --> 00:03:54,921
for doing their job serving

122
00:03:54,921 --> 00:03:57,560
and protecting our community.

123
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,125
I've stood alongside husbands

124
00:03:59,125 --> 00:03:59,826
and wives, family and friends

125
00:03:59,826 --> 00:04:02,826
and fellow officers have been

126
00:04:03,296 --> 00:04:04,300
witness to it all. The trauma

127
00:04:04,300 --> 00:04:04,697
they are repeatedly exposed to

128
00:04:04,697 --> 00:04:07,970
something I take extremely

129
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:07,834
seriously. In order to serve

130
00:04:07,834 --> 00:04:09,636
our community the way it

131
00:04:09,636 --> 00:04:11,804
deserves to be served. We need

132
00:04:11,804 --> 00:04:13,607
healthy supported officers

133
00:04:13,607 --> 00:04:16,242
officers who can take days off

134
00:04:16,242 --> 00:04:18,278
who are compensated fairly and

135
00:04:18,278 --> 00:04:18,978
who are subjected to undue

136
00:04:18,978 --> 00:04:20,380
scrutiny when they're simply

137
00:04:20,380 --> 00:04:22,817
doing their jobs. These things

138
00:04:22,817 --> 00:04:24,830
matter. And I've seen

139
00:04:24,830 --> 00:04:27,830
firsthand the impact they have

140
00:04:28,389 --> 00:04:30,390
our officers. Our wellness

141
00:04:30,390 --> 00:04:32,526
unit is among the best in the

142
00:04:32,526 --> 00:04:33,693
country. And despite great

143
00:04:33,693 --> 00:04:34,428
progress at times, there's

144
00:04:34,428 --> 00:04:37,428
still stigma around asking for

145
00:04:38,650 --> 00:04:38,766
help. Especially when you're

146
00:04:38,766 --> 00:04:42,202
supposed to be the one who's

147
00:04:42,202 --> 00:04:43,470
helping others. Despite the

148
00:04:43,470 --> 00:04:44,710
mental and physical fatigue.

149
00:04:44,710 --> 00:04:46,373
And despite the public

150
00:04:46,373 --> 00:04:47,400
narrative surrounding safety

151
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:48,809
in Indianapolis, officers

152
00:04:48,809 --> 00:04:50,440
continue to show up for their

153
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,440
community doing more with less

154
00:04:53,980 --> 00:04:55,816
than ever before. You along

155
00:04:55,816 --> 00:04:56,584
with our community and our

156
00:04:56,584 --> 00:04:58,984
officers deserve to know

157
00:04:59,653 --> 00:05:00,522
exactly where things stand.

158
00:05:00,522 --> 00:05:03,522
That's why we've created the

159
00:05:03,724 --> 00:05:05,860
impd Transparency website. So

160
00:05:05,860 --> 00:05:06,862
neighbors can see the progress

161
00:05:06,862 --> 00:05:08,896
for themselves. Our community

162
00:05:08,896 --> 00:05:10,698
deserves full transparency,

163
00:05:10,698 --> 00:05:13,567
not opinions. Are rumors, but

164
00:05:13,567 --> 00:05:14,835
facts and real statistics.

165
00:05:14,835 --> 00:05:17,371
Don't just take someone's word

166
00:05:17,371 --> 00:05:18,720
for it. Review the data,

167
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,672
follow the trends and see the

168
00:05:21,976 --> 00:05:23,811
facts. Since its launch in

169
00:05:23,811 --> 00:05:26,180
NOVEMBER of 2025, the site has

170
00:05:26,180 --> 00:05:28,449
averaged more than 1500 daily

171
00:05:28,449 --> 00:05:29,717
visits. And 47,000 monthly

172
00:05:29,717 --> 00:05:30,384
visits making it one of the

173
00:05:30,384 --> 00:05:32,784
city county's most visited

174
00:05:33,187 --> 00:05:36,187
resources. So where do things

175
00:05:36,857 --> 00:05:39,857
stand today? Our top priority

176
00:05:40,294 --> 00:05:41,280
remains keeping people safe.

177
00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:41,630
And today Indianapolis is

178
00:05:41,630 --> 00:05:43,630
seeing real measurable

179
00:05:45,233 --> 00:05:47,633
progress. Violent crime is

180
00:05:48,335 --> 00:05:49,300
down across nearly every major

181
00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:49,638
category with double-digit

182
00:05:49,638 --> 00:05:51,239
declines in homicides and

183
00:05:51,239 --> 00:05:51,840
non-fatal shootings. Property

184
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:54,108
crime is also trending

185
00:05:54,108 --> 00:05:56,108
downward. These improvements

186
00:05:56,677 --> 00:05:57,311
are not accidental. And they

187
00:05:57,311 --> 00:06:00,311
don't belong to just one

188
00:06:00,781 --> 00:06:02,551
person. They're the result of

189
00:06:02,551 --> 00:06:04,551
focus strategies. Strong

190
00:06:05,252 --> 00:06:05,987
partnerships, data driven

191
00:06:05,987 --> 00:06:07,987
enforcement, growing community

192
00:06:08,389 --> 00:06:09,124
trust and above all. The

193
00:06:09,124 --> 00:06:12,724
dedication of the woman, a man

194
00:06:13,694 --> 00:06:14,796
of impd. We've seen lives

195
00:06:14,796 --> 00:06:15,597
saved because of the quick

196
00:06:15,597 --> 00:06:16,264
actions of our officers in the

197
00:06:16,264 --> 00:06:18,233
strong partnerships we have

198
00:06:18,233 --> 00:06:19,900
all across the city that

199
00:06:19,900 --> 00:06:22,300
commitment to protecting life

200
00:06:23,605 --> 00:06:24,272
is what drives us every day.

201
00:06:24,272 --> 00:06:24,841
And that focus must include

202
00:06:24,841 --> 00:06:27,241
some of our youngest

203
00:06:28,109 --> 00:06:28,944
neighbors. You've heard me say

204
00:06:28,944 --> 00:06:31,480
this before. The safety and

205
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,150
well-being of our kids cannot

206
00:06:34,150 --> 00:06:37,615
rest on one group alone. It's

207
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,320
a shared responsibility. While

208
00:06:41,556 --> 00:06:42,257
the overall numbers are

209
00:06:42,257 --> 00:06:42,891
declining, the proportion of

210
00:06:42,891 --> 00:06:43,558
youth involved in violent

211
00:06:43,558 --> 00:06:45,460
crime either as a victim or

212
00:06:45,460 --> 00:06:47,860
the suspect remain steady.

213
00:06:48,497 --> 00:06:49,164
That's a major concern for us.

214
00:06:49,164 --> 00:06:52,764
And one of the most urgent

215
00:06:52,901 --> 00:06:53,568
challenges we're facing. Impd

216
00:06:53,568 --> 00:06:54,736
remains committed to being

217
00:06:54,736 --> 00:06:55,370
proactive about keeping our

218
00:06:55,370 --> 00:06:57,706
kids safe. And that's why

219
00:06:57,706 --> 00:06:58,540
throughout the summer we

220
00:06:58,540 --> 00:06:59,207
increased patrols in areas

221
00:06:59,207 --> 00:07:02,207
where we know young people

222
00:07:02,444 --> 00:07:04,180
gather. We continue to enforce

223
00:07:04,180 --> 00:07:05,881
Indiana's curfew law when

224
00:07:05,881 --> 00:07:06,549
appropriate and prioritize

225
00:07:06,549 --> 00:07:08,949
outreach efforts focused on

226
00:07:10,385 --> 00:07:12,387
prevention. Curfew is a

227
00:07:12,387 --> 00:07:13,355
helpful tool, but reducing

228
00:07:13,355 --> 00:07:15,755
youth violence truly requires

229
00:07:16,424 --> 00:07:18,160
all of us working together.

230
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,294
We've seen success with our

231
00:07:19,294 --> 00:07:21,290
connection Center, which pairs

232
00:07:21,290 --> 00:07:22,497
accountability with

233
00:07:22,497 --> 00:07:23,999
opportunity connects youth and

234
00:07:23,999 --> 00:07:24,566
their families to helpful

235
00:07:24,566 --> 00:07:26,536
resources through our

236
00:07:26,536 --> 00:07:28,936
community partners. Let me

237
00:07:30,272 --> 00:07:30,972
give you an example. We've

238
00:07:30,972 --> 00:07:32,441
intervene when young teenage

239
00:07:32,441 --> 00:07:33,842
girls were downtown getting

240
00:07:33,842 --> 00:07:37,246
drinks from an adult male who

241
00:07:37,246 --> 00:07:37,847
they did not know. And their

242
00:07:37,847 --> 00:07:40,247
parents that they were

243
00:07:40,917 --> 00:07:42,317
someplace else someplace safe.

244
00:07:42,317 --> 00:07:43,180
We've also called parents to

245
00:07:43,180 --> 00:07:43,686
come pick up their kids when

246
00:07:43,686 --> 00:07:46,321
they didn't even know they

247
00:07:46,321 --> 00:07:46,989
were gone. That's what

248
00:07:46,989 --> 00:07:48,989
prevention and intervention

249
00:07:50,893 --> 00:07:51,562
looks like. By working

250
00:07:51,562 --> 00:07:53,562
together through proactive

251
00:07:53,629 --> 00:07:55,629
policing curfew enforcement

252
00:07:55,631 --> 00:07:56,299
and immediate connections to

253
00:07:56,299 --> 00:07:58,699
services. We're building a

254
00:07:58,701 --> 00:07:59,302
system that helps step in

255
00:07:59,302 --> 00:08:02,302
violence is a chance to

256
00:08:03,390 --> 00:08:03,739
happen. But we also know law

257
00:08:03,739 --> 00:08:06,739
enforcement alone is not the

258
00:08:07,610 --> 00:08:09,946
answer. Our young people are

259
00:08:09,946 --> 00:08:11,800
our future and protecting that

260
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,800
future is a responsibility. We

261
00:08:14,817 --> 00:08:16,219
must all share. That's why

262
00:08:16,219 --> 00:08:17,954
impd continues to focus on

263
00:08:17,954 --> 00:08:18,588
youth outreach. Parental

264
00:08:18,588 --> 00:08:20,588
engagement and diversion

265
00:08:21,791 --> 00:08:22,425
efforts. These efforts

266
00:08:22,425 --> 00:08:24,425
alongside community

267
00:08:24,427 --> 00:08:26,427
partnerships, give kids

268
00:08:27,263 --> 00:08:27,997
opportunities, keep families

269
00:08:27,997 --> 00:08:30,997
connected and reduce the risks

270
00:08:31,133 --> 00:08:32,168
that lead to violence. While

271
00:08:32,168 --> 00:08:34,360
we are proud of the progress

272
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:35,738
we've made in reducing crime,

273
00:08:35,738 --> 00:08:38,738
we cannot lose focus. There's

274
00:08:39,375 --> 00:08:40,376
more work to be done. Too many

275
00:08:40,376 --> 00:08:41,430
lives are still being lost to

276
00:08:41,430 --> 00:08:43,430
violence, specifically gun

277
00:08:43,513 --> 00:08:45,148
violence. To the families who

278
00:08:45,148 --> 00:08:48,148
have lost loved ones. We

279
00:08:48,818 --> 00:08:50,920
grieve with you. Will continue

280
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,222
to walk alongside you support

281
00:08:52,222 --> 00:08:52,856
you and we will not stop

282
00:08:52,856 --> 00:08:55,256
working to hold offenders

283
00:08:57,127 --> 00:08:58,528
accountable. And as our work

284
00:08:58,528 --> 00:08:59,862
progresses, so must our

285
00:08:59,862 --> 00:09:01,862
strategies. Criminals adapt

286
00:09:04,333 --> 00:09:05,202
and so must we. Leveraging

287
00:09:05,202 --> 00:09:05,869
smarter technologies and data

288
00:09:05,869 --> 00:09:06,536
driven approach is to stay

289
00:09:06,536 --> 00:09:09,536
ahead in the ever evolving

290
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:11,240
world of public safety.

291
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,640
Without a doubt, technology

292
00:09:14,210 --> 00:09:14,945
such as alp Ares help us solve

293
00:09:14,945 --> 00:09:16,713
crimes faster, remove violent

294
00:09:16,713 --> 00:09:18,713
offenders from our

295
00:09:18,816 --> 00:09:19,516
neighborhoods and locate

296
00:09:19,516 --> 00:09:21,852
endangered or missing people

297
00:09:21,852 --> 00:09:23,887
when time matters. The most.

298
00:09:23,887 --> 00:09:26,256
Our job is to keep people

299
00:09:26,256 --> 00:09:27,658
safe. And when a crime occurs,

300
00:09:27,658 --> 00:09:28,625
we're expected to use every

301
00:09:28,625 --> 00:09:31,625
tool available to find the

302
00:09:32,763 --> 00:09:33,964
person responsible. Whether by

303
00:09:33,964 --> 00:09:34,598
locating and endangered person

304
00:09:34,598 --> 00:09:35,699
are helping get a violent

305
00:09:35,699 --> 00:09:37,534
offender off the streets so

306
00:09:37,534 --> 00:09:39,403
they can't re offend Alp. Ours

307
00:09:39,403 --> 00:09:43,300
are a tool that has truly

308
00:09:44,410 --> 00:09:47,410
saved lives. That set. Misuse

309
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,180
is unacceptable. Misuse hurts

310
00:09:50,180 --> 00:09:50,747
our credibility and erodes the

311
00:09:50,747 --> 00:09:53,147
public trust. That is

312
00:09:53,584 --> 00:09:54,284
essential to our mission.

313
00:09:54,284 --> 00:09:57,284
Technology itself is not the

314
00:09:59,556 --> 00:10:00,657
problem. Misuses. Last month.

315
00:10:00,657 --> 00:10:02,793
What I learned officer had

316
00:10:02,793 --> 00:10:04,528
used alprs for personal

317
00:10:04,528 --> 00:10:05,950
reasons. That officer was

318
00:10:05,950 --> 00:10:05,762
immediately placed on

319
00:10:05,762 --> 00:10:07,965
administrative duty with no

320
00:10:07,965 --> 00:10:10,234
police powers. Based on the

321
00:10:10,234 --> 00:10:11,768
facts gathered early in the

322
00:10:11,768 --> 00:10:12,436
investigation. I suspended him

323
00:10:12,436 --> 00:10:13,700
without pay and recommended

324
00:10:13,700 --> 00:10:15,470
his termination from our

325
00:10:17,175 --> 00:10:17,876
agency. Since then, we've

326
00:10:17,876 --> 00:10:20,876
taken clear steps to prevent

327
00:10:21,479 --> 00:10:22,212
misuse. A new policy has been

328
00:10:22,212 --> 00:10:25,383
issued. What you have in front

329
00:10:25,383 --> 00:10:26,951
of you this evening. Every

330
00:10:26,951 --> 00:10:28,452
alpr user had decided to keep

331
00:10:28,452 --> 00:10:29,154
their access. Those who didn't

332
00:10:29,154 --> 00:10:32,754
sign it had their access shut

333
00:10:32,957 --> 00:10:33,691
off. We also now require every

334
00:10:33,691 --> 00:10:37,861
search to be tied to a case or

335
00:10:37,861 --> 00:10:38,463
cad number. No exceptions. In

336
00:10:38,463 --> 00:10:41,463
the past that had been

337
00:10:42,967 --> 00:10:44,802
optional. Impd is also

338
00:10:44,802 --> 00:10:45,670
launched a new and stronger

339
00:10:45,670 --> 00:10:46,371
auditing process to identify

340
00:10:46,371 --> 00:10:48,771
potential misuse quickly and

341
00:10:49,874 --> 00:10:51,843
intervene early. Any facts or

342
00:10:51,843 --> 00:10:52,544
circumstances suggesting

343
00:10:52,544 --> 00:10:54,944
misuse will be thoroughly

344
00:10:55,346 --> 00:10:56,347
reviewed and investigated to

345
00:10:56,347 --> 00:10:57,315
ensure every search was

346
00:10:57,315 --> 00:10:57,982
conducted solely for a

347
00:10:57,982 --> 00:10:59,982
legitimate law enforcement

348
00:11:02,687 --> 00:11:03,221
purpose. Additionally, I

349
00:11:03,221 --> 00:11:05,221
continue to support

350
00:11:06,591 --> 00:11:07,326
legislation that guides prop

351
00:11:07,326 --> 00:11:08,159
or use of this technology also

352
00:11:08,159 --> 00:11:09,940
leveraging it to support our

353
00:11:09,940 --> 00:11:11,763
efforts and reducing crime and

354
00:11:11,763 --> 00:11:14,163
saving lives. We've already

355
00:11:14,465 --> 00:11:15,133
been in touch with legislators

356
00:11:15,133 --> 00:11:15,700
and look forward to working

357
00:11:15,700 --> 00:11:18,700
with them in the next

358
00:11:19,604 --> 00:11:21,720
legislative session. Holding

359
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:22,774
ourselves accountable isn't

360
00:11:22,774 --> 00:11:26,878
easy, but it's how we grow how

361
00:11:26,878 --> 00:11:27,679
we learn. Impd is shown this

362
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,581
community. We're willing to

363
00:11:29,581 --> 00:11:31,749
have tough conversations and

364
00:11:31,749 --> 00:11:34,149
from those challenges, real

365
00:11:35,860 --> 00:11:37,860
opportunities emerge. But

366
00:11:38,900 --> 00:11:39,910
accountability requires truth.

367
00:11:39,910 --> 00:11:40,392
Those conversations must be

368
00:11:40,392 --> 00:11:42,792
rooted in facts, not

369
00:11:44,529 --> 00:11:45,163
misinformation. Were rumors.

370
00:11:45,163 --> 00:11:45,830
That's why we provided a

371
00:11:45,830 --> 00:11:47,830
frequently asked questions

372
00:11:49,201 --> 00:11:49,869
fire on Alpr technology to

373
00:11:49,869 --> 00:11:50,535
provide our community with

374
00:11:50,535 --> 00:11:52,535
accurate information about

375
00:11:53,138 --> 00:11:56,738
what this tool does, how it

376
00:11:58,644 --> 00:11:59,278
works and who has access. As

377
00:11:59,278 --> 00:11:59,979
we continue to grow and

378
00:11:59,979 --> 00:12:01,780
improve, we will be guided by

379
00:12:01,780 --> 00:12:04,780
him for these first ever

380
00:12:04,917 --> 00:12:06,917
strategic plan. Implementation

381
00:12:07,753 --> 00:12:09,120
of this plan is now underway.

382
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,156
Giving us direction for

383
00:12:11,156 --> 00:12:11,924
improving operations,

384
00:12:11,924 --> 00:12:13,192
strengthening trust, investing

385
00:12:13,192 --> 00:12:14,125
in our officers and

386
00:12:14,125 --> 00:12:15,494
professional staff and

387
00:12:15,494 --> 00:12:17,494
expanding innovative

388
00:12:17,729 --> 00:12:20,320
approaches to crime reduction.

389
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:21,635
This plan ensures our work.

390
00:12:21,635 --> 00:12:22,635
He's guided not just by

391
00:12:22,635 --> 00:12:25,635
officer input but by community

392
00:12:26,906 --> 00:12:27,873
priorities. You helped shape

393
00:12:27,873 --> 00:12:29,909
these goals. And now it's on

394
00:12:29,909 --> 00:12:33,509
us to deliver results and said

395
00:12:33,546 --> 00:12:34,213
impd up for long-term success.

396
00:12:34,213 --> 00:12:37,213
So what would that success

397
00:12:37,683 --> 00:12:40,683
look like? Looking ahead, my

398
00:12:40,853 --> 00:12:41,954
priorities remain clear. With

399
00:12:41,954 --> 00:12:44,290
our strategic plan guiding us

400
00:12:44,290 --> 00:12:45,424
every step of the way success

401
00:12:45,424 --> 00:12:48,360
means we drive down violent

402
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:49,595
crime even further. We'll do

403
00:12:49,595 --> 00:12:51,163
our part to hold accountable.

404
00:12:51,163 --> 00:12:51,931
Those who commit crimes of

405
00:12:51,931 --> 00:12:52,832
violence while also investing

406
00:12:52,832 --> 00:12:55,232
in prevention that stops

407
00:12:55,434 --> 00:12:57,404
violence before it starts

408
00:12:57,404 --> 00:12:58,637
less. Violence means more

409
00:12:58,637 --> 00:12:59,305
lives saved. And that's where

410
00:12:59,305 --> 00:13:01,730
our focus will stay in the

411
00:13:01,730 --> 00:13:03,473
coming year. Recruitment and

412
00:13:05,770 --> 00:13:06,713
retention. Our officers and

413
00:13:06,713 --> 00:13:08,915
professional staff are our

414
00:13:08,915 --> 00:13:10,516
most important asked important

415
00:13:10,516 --> 00:13:11,450
We prioritized fair

416
00:13:11,450 --> 00:13:13,450
compensation, meaningful time

417
00:13:14,553 --> 00:13:15,254
off and access to resources

418
00:13:15,254 --> 00:13:18,254
and technology. They need to

419
00:13:18,924 --> 00:13:19,658
succeed. Soon. We will launch

420
00:13:19,658 --> 00:13:20,627
a professional development

421
00:13:20,627 --> 00:13:23,270
program to expand learning

422
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:24,698
opportunities and growth.

423
00:13:24,698 --> 00:13:26,265
Investing in our officers

424
00:13:26,265 --> 00:13:27,990
helps the department deliver

425
00:13:27,990 --> 00:13:29,499
safer, more effective policing

426
00:13:30,971 --> 00:13:31,671

427
00:13:31,671 --> 00:13:34,710
our officers and professional

428
00:13:35,307 --> 00:13:36,610
staff. When our officers are

429
00:13:36,610 --> 00:13:37,677
healthy, supported and well

430
00:13:37,677 --> 00:13:40,677
trained, they're able to show

431
00:13:42,116 --> 00:13:42,849
up stronger for our community.

432
00:13:42,849 --> 00:13:43,984
That's why we're investing and

433
00:13:43,984 --> 00:13:45,984
well-being, training and

434
00:13:46,286 --> 00:13:47,420
development giving our teams

435
00:13:47,420 --> 00:13:49,956
the tools time and support.

436
00:13:49,956 --> 00:13:50,590
They need to do their jobs

437
00:13:50,590 --> 00:13:52,590
with professionalism and

438
00:13:55,529 --> 00:13:56,696
integrity. Expanding community

439
00:13:56,696 --> 00:13:58,732
partnerships. Public safety is

440
00:13:58,732 --> 00:14:01,132
something we build together.

441
00:14:02,435 --> 00:14:03,136
Impd cannot do this alone.

442
00:14:03,136 --> 00:14:05,536
Trust and collaboration with

443
00:14:07,307 --> 00:14:08,341
our community are essential.

444
00:14:08,341 --> 00:14:09,342
We'll keep strengthening

445
00:14:09,342 --> 00:14:10,410
relationships being

446
00:14:10,410 --> 00:14:11,440
transparent and making sure

447
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:11,912
our neighbors have a real

448
00:14:11,912 --> 00:14:14,147
voice in shaping how their

449
00:14:14,147 --> 00:14:16,547
neighborhoods are policed when

450
00:14:16,917 --> 00:14:17,517
we work side by side, we

451
00:14:17,517 --> 00:14:19,517
create safer, stronger

452
00:14:20,621 --> 00:14:22,621
communities. Leverage,

453
00:14:24,525 --> 00:14:25,225
technology and data. Our

454
00:14:25,225 --> 00:14:25,826
community expects us to solve

455
00:14:25,826 --> 00:14:27,494
crimes and hold people

456
00:14:27,494 --> 00:14:29,894
accountable after violence has

457
00:14:29,896 --> 00:14:30,664
occurred to meet that

458
00:14:30,664 --> 00:14:31,364
responsibility. We must also

459
00:14:31,364 --> 00:14:33,764
use technology and data

460
00:14:34,634 --> 00:14:35,635
lawfully and effectively. We

461
00:14:35,635 --> 00:14:37,370
will continue building on the

462
00:14:37,370 --> 00:14:38,806
work of our analysts, the real

463
00:14:38,806 --> 00:14:40,874
time crime center and our

464
00:14:40,874 --> 00:14:41,541
officers making sure they have

465
00:14:41,541 --> 00:14:43,760
the tools and resources to

466
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,476
turn information into action

467
00:14:47,915 --> 00:14:48,716
and action into safety. Using

468
00:14:48,716 --> 00:14:50,716
resources wisely. We're

469
00:14:50,818 --> 00:14:51,786
focused on maximizing

470
00:14:51,786 --> 00:14:53,721
efficiency, reducing

471
00:14:53,721 --> 00:14:55,721
unnecessary demands on

472
00:14:56,591 --> 00:14:57,225
officers. Time and making sure

473
00:14:57,225 --> 00:14:59,327
taxpayer dollars are used

474
00:14:59,327 --> 00:15:01,327
responsibly and effectively.

475
00:15:02,330 --> 00:15:03,364
We use resources wisely

476
00:15:03,364 --> 00:15:04,310
officers spend less time on

477
00:15:04,310 --> 00:15:07,368
task to pull them away from

478
00:15:07,368 --> 00:15:08,680
the community. More time

479
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:09,670
responding and responding to

480
00:15:09,670 --> 00:15:11,670
calls building relationships

481
00:15:13,207 --> 00:15:14,242
and solving problems. Every

482
00:15:14,242 --> 00:15:17,242
dollar saved and every minute

483
00:15:17,745 --> 00:15:18,412
free dup means better service.

484
00:15:18,412 --> 00:15:21,412
Faster response and say for

485
00:15:22,416 --> 00:15:23,840
Indianapolis. The proposed

486
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,484
budget before us highlights

487
00:15:25,654 --> 00:15:27,588
what truly matters. Keeps our

488
00:15:27,588 --> 00:15:28,856
progress in crime reduction

489
00:15:28,856 --> 00:15:29,590
moving forward, making sure

490
00:15:29,590 --> 00:15:32,293
officers have the training and

491
00:15:32,293 --> 00:15:32,894
equipment they need in our

492
00:15:32,894 --> 00:15:33,961
community partnerships,

493
00:15:33,961 --> 00:15:36,361

494
00:15:37,980 --> 00:15:39,468

00:15:40,301 --> 00:15:42,300

staff. Is what makes real

505
00:15:54,949 --> 00:15:56,450

506
00:15:56,450 --> 00:15:59,450

00:16:02,590 --> 00:16:04,990
safer in Annapolis for

511
00:16:17,739 --> 00:16:18,406

get our budget presentation

513
00:16:20,375 --> 00:16:22,544
before I pass it over to our

514
00:16:22,544 --> 00:16:23,345
cfo. Sure, walk through the

515
00:16:23,345 --> 00:16:25,347
detailed budget, but I want to

516
00:16:25,347 --> 00:16:26,470
set the stage to talk about

517
00:16:26,470 --> 00:16:26,881
impd is officers the progress

518
00:16:26,881 --> 00:16:30,481
we've made and how we intend

519
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:33,955
to move here. On the screen.

520
00:16:33,955 --> 00:16:35,123
You see this is our new

521
00:16:35,123 --> 00:16:35,724
mission statement that was

522
00:16:35,724 --> 00:16:37,724
developed. Marsh should

523
00:16:39,595 --> 00:16:41,430
strategic plan. It was formed

524
00:16:41,430 --> 00:16:42,264
from input from within our

525
00:16:42,264 --> 00:16:44,980
agency, by our officers that

526
00:16:44,980 --> 00:16:46,335
are sworn our professional

527
00:16:46,335 --> 00:16:48,871
staff. It was also formed from

528
00:16:48,871 --> 00:16:51,106
community input and feedback.

529
00:16:51,106 --> 00:16:51,773
Community feedback. That was

530
00:16:51,773 --> 00:16:53,909
derived from every zip code

531
00:16:53,909 --> 00:16:56,746
with in Marion County. So I do

532
00:16:56,746 --> 00:16:58,614
want to read it to you. So you

533
00:16:58,614 --> 00:16:59,348
know what to expect from your

534
00:16:59,348 --> 00:17:02,948
impd today tomorrow and in the

535
00:17:02,985 --> 00:17:05,385
future. Impd serves with

536
00:17:05,654 --> 00:17:07,156
courage and compassion.

537
00:17:07,156 --> 00:17:08,624
Partnering with our community

538
00:17:08,624 --> 00:17:10,392
to address crime and create a

539
00:17:10,392 --> 00:17:11,260
safer Indianapolis for

540
00:17:11,260 --> 00:17:14,260
everyone who lives works and

541
00:17:15,831 --> 00:17:17,432
visits here. This is a simple

542
00:17:17,432 --> 00:17:18,100
statement, but it's quite

543
00:17:18,100 --> 00:17:20,500
intentional. The words were

544
00:17:21,737 --> 00:17:23,639
chosen. After rigorous

545
00:17:23,639 --> 00:17:25,874
discussion and feedback many

546
00:17:25,874 --> 00:17:27,874
revisions. Courage and

547
00:17:28,977 --> 00:17:29,545
compassion. We need both to

548
00:17:29,545 --> 00:17:31,945
carry out our mission

549
00:17:32,281 --> 00:17:34,150
effectively. Because we know

550
00:17:34,150 --> 00:17:34,717
we can't do it alone and we're

551
00:17:34,717 --> 00:17:37,117
stronger when we work

552
00:17:39,154 --> 00:17:40,489
together. The safe indy for

553
00:17:40,489 --> 00:17:42,889
everyone regardless of race,

554
00:17:42,991 --> 00:17:45,280
creed, color, background and

555
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,280
even immigration status.

556
00:17:47,129 --> 00:17:48,398
That's our new mission

557
00:17:48,398 --> 00:17:49,640
statement. And I'm extremely

558
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:50,799
proud that it was developed

559
00:17:50,799 --> 00:17:53,799
with input from internally and

560
00:17:54,537 --> 00:17:55,205
externally. Additionally,

561
00:17:55,205 --> 00:17:55,871
you'll see our service area

562
00:17:55,871 --> 00:17:57,640
consist of Indianapolis,

563
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:58,274
Marion County, which is more

564
00:17:58,274 --> 00:18:00,577
than 400 square miles. We

565
00:18:00,577 --> 00:18:02,111
serve nearly 900,000

566
00:18:02,111 --> 00:18:02,811
residents, not including

567
00:18:02,811 --> 00:18:05,211
Lawrence Beech Grove Speedway

568
00:18:06,850 --> 00:18:09,850
and so forth. We currently

569
00:18:11,821 --> 00:18:12,622
have. 1383 sworn officers who

570
00:18:12,622 --> 00:18:16,493
come to work every day to make

571
00:18:16,493 --> 00:18:17,760
Indianapolis a safer place. We

572
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:18,495
are a 360 officers short of

573
00:18:18,495 --> 00:18:20,895
our authorized strength of 17.

574
00:18:22,365 --> 00:18:23,600
43. I know each year there are

575
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,600
questions about why we ask

576
00:18:27,770 --> 00:18:28,838
tough and 1743 officers. Also

577
00:18:28,838 --> 00:18:33,900
a cheer. You ask how you can

578
00:18:33,900 --> 00:18:34,845
help improve recruiting.

579
00:18:34,845 --> 00:18:35,578
Funding 1743 officers. One is

580
00:18:35,578 --> 00:18:38,615
one of the most impactful ways

581
00:18:38,615 --> 00:18:39,249
that you can help us. It

582
00:18:39,249 --> 00:18:40,518
demonstrates to potential

583
00:18:40,518 --> 00:18:42,185
recruits. The Indianapolis is

584
00:18:42,185 --> 00:18:44,320
serious about building a

585
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,220
fully-staffed resilient police

586
00:18:46,220 --> 00:18:46,723
Department and you're

587
00:18:46,723 --> 00:18:47,357
committed to investing in the

588
00:18:47,357 --> 00:18:49,757
officers who protect our

589
00:18:52,695 --> 00:18:53,396
neighborhoods. Setting

590
00:18:53,396 --> 00:18:54,970
funding, setting in funding.

591
00:18:54,970 --> 00:18:55,932
This number of officers also

592
00:18:55,932 --> 00:18:58,201
sends a strong message to our

593
00:18:58,201 --> 00:18:58,902
community. The Indianapolis

594
00:18:58,902 --> 00:19:01,302
Value Safety understands the

595
00:19:01,738 --> 00:19:02,305
challenges of modern policing

596
00:19:02,305 --> 00:19:03,600
and he's committed to

597
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,600
investing in the officers who

598
00:19:06,976 --> 00:19:07,912
keep our city safe.

599
00:19:07,912 --> 00:19:08,578
Additionally, we never know

600
00:19:08,578 --> 00:19:10,460
what our recruiting classes

601
00:19:10,460 --> 00:19:11,881
are going to look like. We

602
00:19:11,881 --> 00:19:13,349
could get a surge in

603
00:19:13,349 --> 00:19:14,285
applicants and then we would

604
00:19:14,285 --> 00:19:16,685
certainly need the available

605
00:19:17,655 --> 00:19:18,289
funding to support them. Right

606
00:19:18,289 --> 00:19:19,956
now we have more than 30

607
00:19:19,956 --> 00:19:21,425
recruits going through the

608
00:19:21,425 --> 00:19:23,426
academy. It's the largest

609
00:19:23,426 --> 00:19:24,962
class we've seen in the last 4

610
00:19:24,962 --> 00:19:26,262
years. Our next class is also

611
00:19:26,262 --> 00:19:27,198
projected to be of a similar

612
00:19:27,198 --> 00:19:30,798
size. So we are trending in

613
00:19:31,634 --> 00:19:32,335
the right direction. One of

614
00:19:32,335 --> 00:19:33,504
the most important factors is

615
00:19:33,504 --> 00:19:34,938
that funding for authorized

616
00:19:34,938 --> 00:19:37,309
strength allows us to utilize

617
00:19:37,309 --> 00:19:37,908
that money to cover our

618
00:19:37,908 --> 00:19:39,677
staffing shortages with

619
00:19:39,677 --> 00:19:42,770
overtime shifts. It's very

620
00:19:43,747 --> 00:19:44,849
similar to how ifd would staff

621
00:19:44,849 --> 00:19:46,784
a fire engine. It might

622
00:19:46,784 --> 00:19:48,586
require a fireman to be on a

623
00:19:48,586 --> 00:19:50,120
truck. And when they're short

624
00:19:50,120 --> 00:19:50,821
of a firefighter for whatever

625
00:19:50,821 --> 00:19:53,858
reason they hire back to fill

626
00:19:53,858 --> 00:19:56,827
that shortage shortage. It is

627
00:19:56,827 --> 00:19:59,630
essential that are of

628
00:19:59,630 --> 00:20:00,164
districts and patrol shifts

629
00:20:00,164 --> 00:20:01,265
are staffed appropriately so

630
00:20:01,265 --> 00:20:02,967
we can safely and effectively

631
00:20:02,967 --> 00:20:04,134
serve our community. And those

632
00:20:04,134 --> 00:20:04,768
shortages are often filled

633
00:20:04,768 --> 00:20:07,168
with overtime shifts. And

634
00:20:08,739 --> 00:20:09,840
that's a daily occurrence.

635
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,910
Also, I'd like to know that if

636
00:20:12,910 --> 00:20:13,677
we did have all 1743 seats

637
00:20:13,677 --> 00:20:14,379
filled, we would actually

638
00:20:14,379 --> 00:20:17,379
spend more money on staffing

639
00:20:17,615 --> 00:20:20,150
and personnel. The current

640
00:20:20,351 --> 00:20:22,351
budget funds, 1743 positions.

641
00:20:22,620 --> 00:20:24,755
They're at the recruits

642
00:20:24,755 --> 00:20:25,656
starting salary. Every seat

643
00:20:25,656 --> 00:20:26,490
were filled, our actual

644
00:20:26,490 --> 00:20:27,558
personnel costs would be

645
00:20:27,558 --> 00:20:28,225
higher because officers

646
00:20:28,225 --> 00:20:29,927
actually earn more than the

647
00:20:29,927 --> 00:20:31,495
starting pay rate. Ms budget

648
00:20:31,495 --> 00:20:35,950
is already tight and it's not

649
00:20:36,834 --> 00:20:38,202
padded. I'd also like to know

650
00:20:38,202 --> 00:20:39,638
that if we need, if we needed

651
00:20:39,638 --> 00:20:40,304
to make any changes to our

652
00:20:40,304 --> 00:20:42,606
character, one budget that

653
00:20:42,606 --> 00:20:43,507
would require approval. So

654
00:20:43,507 --> 00:20:45,907
that's element of transparency

655
00:20:46,912 --> 00:20:49,460
within our budget. Based on

656
00:20:49,460 --> 00:20:51,480
the current numbers, a budget

657
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:52,350
of 1743 were looking at

658
00:20:52,350 --> 00:20:54,151
breaking even in character.

659
00:20:54,151 --> 00:20:55,620
One this year were in 2027, I

660
00:20:55,620 --> 00:20:56,354
should say. And we don't have

661
00:20:56,354 --> 00:20:59,354
any extra money sitting around

662
00:21:03,528 --> 00:21:04,129
unused. So I think that would

663
00:21:04,129 --> 00:21:06,129
sufficiently explain an

664
00:21:06,364 --> 00:21:09,364
argument for why we continuing

665
00:21:09,968 --> 00:21:10,602
come to you and ask you to

666
00:21:10,602 --> 00:21:12,404
continue to authorize our

667
00:21:12,404 --> 00:21:14,804
strength of 1743 officers in

668
00:21:15,173 --> 00:21:17,173
budget forward accordingly.

669
00:21:18,900 --> 00:21:19,978
Our agency also has 220

670
00:21:19,978 --> 00:21:21,978
professional staff. We're

671
00:21:22,681 --> 00:21:23,615
short, 67 positions of our 287

672
00:21:23,615 --> 00:21:26,150
authorize a professional staff

673
00:21:27,986 --> 00:21:28,653
positions. This slide shows

674
00:21:28,653 --> 00:21:31,530
you are historical staffing

675
00:21:32,391 --> 00:21:33,580
levels. It represents the

676
00:21:33,580 --> 00:21:35,727
reality of what we're doing

677
00:21:35,727 --> 00:21:36,595
with your airline pd. We do

678
00:21:36,595 --> 00:21:37,229
have to make difficult

679
00:21:37,229 --> 00:21:39,629
decisions because we have

680
00:21:39,898 --> 00:21:40,966
fewer resources available. We

681
00:21:40,966 --> 00:21:42,767
want to do more. But

682
00:21:42,767 --> 00:21:43,502
unfortunately, we just don't

683
00:21:43,502 --> 00:21:44,202
have the staffing to do all of

684
00:21:44,202 --> 00:21:47,720
the things that we would like

685
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:48,773
to do. Our priorities remain

686
00:21:48,773 --> 00:21:49,407
going after violent offenders

687
00:21:49,407 --> 00:21:52,407
and responding to 9-1-1.

688
00:21:53,311 --> 00:21:55,313
Calls. Not reflected in our

689
00:21:55,313 --> 00:21:56,810
number of hires in 2026. Is

690
00:21:56,810 --> 00:21:59,584
our latest class which U.S.

691
00:21:59,584 --> 00:22:00,719
Were in an AUGUST includes

692
00:22:00,719 --> 00:22:02,854
over 30 Actually, we've hired

693
00:22:02,854 --> 00:22:05,254
a total of 53. There's 53

694
00:22:06,658 --> 00:22:07,359
officers this year and we are

695
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,959
scheduled to swear in a class

696
00:22:16,501 --> 00:22:17,102
in DECEMBER. Is our agency

697
00:22:17,102 --> 00:22:19,102
demographics for sworn

698
00:22:20,172 --> 00:22:20,840
officers and our leadership.

699
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:21,541
It's our goal have a

700
00:22:21,541 --> 00:22:23,341
department that is reflective

701
00:22:23,341 --> 00:22:25,578
of the community that we serve

702
00:22:25,578 --> 00:22:27,790
that way. Our officers can

703
00:22:27,790 --> 00:22:29,790
relate understand different

704
00:22:31,217 --> 00:22:32,584
perspectives and foster trust.

705
00:22:32,584 --> 00:22:33,319
The department has written

706
00:22:33,319 --> 00:22:33,920
representation is one that can

707
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,955
truly earn and maintain

708
00:22:35,955 --> 00:22:38,291
public. Trust. I'm so proud to

709
00:22:38,291 --> 00:22:40,359
say that my leadership team

710
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:41,270
also reflects a diverse group

711
00:22:41,270 --> 00:22:41,727
of people. It's one of the

712
00:22:41,727 --> 00:22:44,127
most diverse leadership teams

713
00:22:44,797 --> 00:22:47,990
in the agency's history. I

714
00:22:47,990 --> 00:22:48,634
would like to know that I did

715
00:22:48,634 --> 00:22:49,569
become the first female police

716
00:22:49,569 --> 00:22:53,169
chief of our agency and its

717
00:22:53,372 --> 00:22:54,730
history this year and 30% of

718
00:22:54,730 --> 00:22:55,141
my command staff is black or

719
00:22:55,141 --> 00:22:57,541
Hispanic and nearly 20% are

720
00:23:00,746 --> 00:23:02,715
women. Continuing with

721
00:23:02,715 --> 00:23:04,715
demographics. Our current

722
00:23:05,518 --> 00:23:06,185
recruit class actually has

723
00:23:06,185 --> 00:23:06,819
started with 11 women. It's

724
00:23:06,819 --> 00:23:09,819
one of the largest female

725
00:23:11,570 --> 00:23:12,692
classes to date. Overall. Our

726
00:23:12,692 --> 00:23:14,694
agency. He's represented by

727
00:23:14,694 --> 00:23:15,294
13% female officers, which is

728
00:23:15,294 --> 00:23:17,694
just about the national

729
00:23:20,867 --> 00:23:22,340
average. We did several years

730
00:23:22,340 --> 00:23:25,634
ago pledged work toward a goal

731
00:23:26,239 --> 00:23:28,374
of a 30% female recruit class

732
00:23:28,374 --> 00:23:29,408
and each recruit class by the

733
00:23:29,408 --> 00:23:31,808
year 2030. That's why called

734
00:23:33,946 --> 00:23:35,114
the 30 by 30 pledge. We also

735
00:23:35,114 --> 00:23:35,848
try to recruit more women by

736
00:23:35,848 --> 00:23:38,417
holding an annual event called

737
00:23:38,417 --> 00:23:39,118
her better. In fact, it does

738
00:23:39,118 --> 00:23:41,518
showcase other women officers

739
00:23:42,523 --> 00:23:44,257
to our community. We actually

740
00:23:44,257 --> 00:23:45,792
understand the importance of

741
00:23:45,792 --> 00:23:46,527
having female officers

742
00:23:46,527 --> 00:23:47,860
represented thrower throughout

743
00:23:47,860 --> 00:23:50,364
our rings, especially in our

744
00:23:50,364 --> 00:23:51,230
community, which is consistent

745
00:23:51,230 --> 00:23:53,630
consistently just over 50% of

746
00:23:55,369 --> 00:23:56,103
our population. We know that

747
00:23:56,103 --> 00:23:57,938
female officers also have

748
00:23:57,938 --> 00:23:59,106
fewer uses of force, fewer

749
00:23:59,106 --> 00:24:01,841
complaints are likely to use

750
00:24:01,841 --> 00:24:03,430
their words for de-escalation

751
00:24:03,430 --> 00:24:04,811
and they serve with

752
00:24:04,811 --> 00:24:06,811
compassion. So there's

753
00:24:07,347 --> 00:24:08,148
multitude of reasons why

754
00:24:08,148 --> 00:24:09,883
prioritizing on agency that's

755
00:24:09,883 --> 00:24:11,652
reflective our of our

756
00:24:11,652 --> 00:24:12,920
community is beneficial not

757
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:13,620
only for the agency but

758
00:24:13,620 --> 00:24:16,200
beneficial for the community.

759
00:24:18,592 --> 00:24:21,662
We serve us well. This graph

760
00:24:21,662 --> 00:24:22,696
shows the breakdown of our

761
00:24:22,696 --> 00:24:23,363
professional staff, our

762
00:24:23,363 --> 00:24:24,531
professional staff. I would

763
00:24:24,531 --> 00:24:28,131
like to say and emphasize is

764
00:24:28,335 --> 00:24:29,200
the backbone of our agency. It

765
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:30,300
is predominantly women with

766
00:24:30,300 --> 00:24:32,403
women making up 67%. Men

767
00:24:33,974 --> 00:24:34,708
making up 33% and less like to

768
00:24:34,708 --> 00:24:35,876
know that there's no disparity

769
00:24:35,876 --> 00:24:36,510
in pay between men and women

770
00:24:36,510 --> 00:24:38,510
amongst our professional

771
00:24:41,810 --> 00:24:42,115
staff. And we're learning we

772
00:24:42,115 --> 00:24:43,116
continue to lean more on

773
00:24:43,116 --> 00:24:45,152
professional staff to help

774
00:24:45,152 --> 00:24:47,988
ease the burden on sworn

775
00:24:47,988 --> 00:24:50,900
officers. We do utilize public

776
00:24:50,900 --> 00:24:51,758
safety officers, public

777
00:24:51,758 --> 00:24:52,593
assistance officers to crash

778
00:24:52,593 --> 00:24:53,260
investigations. We have

779
00:24:53,260 --> 00:24:55,496
analysts that are heavily

780
00:24:55,496 --> 00:24:57,965
involved in helping us solve

781
00:24:57,965 --> 00:24:58,999
crimes prevent crimes. We have

782
00:24:58,999 --> 00:25:01,399
public assistance officers are

783
00:25:02,936 --> 00:25:03,637
handling then checks. And

784
00:25:03,637 --> 00:25:05,637
essentially our professional

785
00:25:06,974 --> 00:25:07,876
staff are taking over more and

786
00:25:07,876 --> 00:25:09,309
responsibilities that have

787
00:25:09,309 --> 00:25:11,545
been in the past handled by

788
00:25:11,545 --> 00:25:12,246
some of our sworn officers. So

789
00:25:12,246 --> 00:25:12,913
we're continually looking for

790
00:25:12,913 --> 00:25:15,313
opportunities to expand on

791
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,520
those responsibilities.

792
00:25:21,556 --> 00:25:23,556
Alright, retention strategies.

793
00:25:23,758 --> 00:25:24,826
These also apply to recruiting

794
00:25:24,826 --> 00:25:27,226
strategies. They definitely go

795
00:25:28,996 --> 00:25:30,640
closely hand in hand. Just

796
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,330
last week our officers voted

797
00:25:32,330 --> 00:25:32,767
to approve a 10 hour shift

798
00:25:32,767 --> 00:25:35,167
model for agency following 8

799
00:25:36,838 --> 00:25:37,872
month pilot. This change

800
00:25:37,872 --> 00:25:39,774
allows officers a better work

801
00:25:39,774 --> 00:25:40,575
health balance with more days

802
00:25:40,575 --> 00:25:42,877
off, totaling about 37 more

803
00:25:42,877 --> 00:25:43,578
days off throughout the year

804
00:25:43,578 --> 00:25:45,790
while still working the same

805
00:25:45,790 --> 00:25:48,790
amount of hours shifts are

806
00:25:48,650 --> 00:25:49,284
built to overlap during the

807
00:25:49,284 --> 00:25:51,684
busiest calls for service

808
00:25:52,453 --> 00:25:53,154
hours. We also offer one of

809
00:25:53,154 --> 00:25:55,554
the highest starting salaries

810
00:25:56,491 --> 00:25:57,659
in the Midwest. Officer

811
00:25:57,659 --> 00:25:58,993
Wellness is a huge part of

812
00:25:58,993 --> 00:25:59,661
keeping our officers healthy

813
00:25:59,661 --> 00:26:00,695
and on the force for a long

814
00:26:00,695 --> 00:26:02,797
time so that they can retire

815
00:26:02,797 --> 00:26:05,797
in one piece, both physically

816
00:26:07,690 --> 00:26:08,838
and mentally. We've added

817
00:26:08,838 --> 00:26:10,390
benefits like 12 weeks of

818
00:26:10,390 --> 00:26:12,439
parental leave. Language pay

819
00:26:14,343 --> 00:26:14,844
and a uniform allowance. We

820
00:26:14,844 --> 00:26:15,476
offer more career

821
00:26:15,476 --> 00:26:17,476
opportunities along with

822
00:26:17,679 --> 00:26:19,581
professional development. We

823
00:26:19,581 --> 00:26:21,820
offer options to join

824
00:26:21,820 --> 00:26:21,716
specialty units and we also

825
00:26:21,716 --> 00:26:23,716
offer details throughout

826
00:26:24,619 --> 00:26:27,190
officers careers. Details to

827
00:26:30,392 --> 00:26:31,793
other units for exposure.

828
00:26:31,793 --> 00:26:32,660
We're also in the early stages

829
00:26:32,660 --> 00:26:35,660
of creating an Academy of

830
00:26:35,730 --> 00:26:37,632
continuing Education. For

831
00:26:37,632 --> 00:26:39,935
short ace. You can see that on

832
00:26:39,935 --> 00:26:40,669
the slide. This will provide

833
00:26:40,669 --> 00:26:41,503
officers with opportunities to

834
00:26:41,503 --> 00:26:43,903
take courses with specific

835
00:26:44,373 --> 00:26:45,306
career pass and mine, which is

836
00:26:45,306 --> 00:26:48,760
part of the feedback we've

837
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:49,780
heard from our our officers is

838
00:26:49,780 --> 00:26:50,212
that they need more

839
00:26:50,212 --> 00:26:50,845
opportunities to know what

840
00:26:50,845 --> 00:26:53,245
career passing looks like

841
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:55,951
within our agency. We also

842
00:26:55,951 --> 00:26:56,619
take the time to celebrate our

843
00:26:56,619 --> 00:26:58,821
officers successes with an

844
00:26:58,821 --> 00:26:59,755
annual awards ceremony. And

845
00:26:59,755 --> 00:27:00,855
every month district celebrate

846
00:27:00,855 --> 00:27:03,855
officers of the month all

847
00:27:06,762 --> 00:27:07,363
throughout the year. Officer

848
00:27:07,363 --> 00:27:08,731
training, education and

849
00:27:08,731 --> 00:27:11,731
training are essential to our

850
00:27:12,601 --> 00:27:13,402
mission and our vision. Our

851
00:27:13,402 --> 00:27:14,300
recruits complete. 26 weeks of

852
00:27:14,300 --> 00:27:15,671
training. While in the

853
00:27:15,671 --> 00:27:18,710
Catholic Academy. But our

854
00:27:18,741 --> 00:27:20,420
training does not stop there.

855
00:27:20,420 --> 00:27:20,743
We also continue to invest in

856
00:27:20,743 --> 00:27:22,743
crisis intervention training

857
00:27:23,779 --> 00:27:24,848
with each recruit class. After

858
00:27:24,848 --> 00:27:25,481
the academy officers are

859
00:27:25,481 --> 00:27:26,882
trained throughout their

860
00:27:26,882 --> 00:27:27,583
careers because of the

861
00:27:27,583 --> 00:27:29,118
profession is in constant

862
00:27:29,118 --> 00:27:31,955
change in flux. We have to

863
00:27:31,955 --> 00:27:34,955
keep up. Training goes beyond

864
00:27:36,358 --> 00:27:37,726
firearms. We trained to

865
00:27:37,726 --> 00:27:39,610
respond to critical incidents.

866
00:27:39,610 --> 00:27:41,610
Implicit bias training,

867
00:27:42,965 --> 00:27:44,934
defensive tactics. And while

868
00:27:44,934 --> 00:27:45,568
acronym is called iccat

869
00:27:45,568 --> 00:27:46,268
Integrated Communications

870
00:27:46,268 --> 00:27:48,668
Assessment and Tactics which

871
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:50,906
teaches officers to slow down

872
00:27:50,906 --> 00:27:51,874
communicate clearly plan

873
00:27:51,874 --> 00:27:52,576
tactical positions and avoid

874
00:27:52,576 --> 00:27:54,976
creating rushed for dangerous

875
00:27:57,460 --> 00:27:57,780
situations. Supervisors

876
00:27:57,780 --> 00:27:59,490
receive additional training on

877
00:27:59,490 --> 00:28:00,850
top of that. And we're

878
00:28:00,850 --> 00:28:03,250
exploring ways to Expand

879
00:28:04,788 --> 00:28:05,456
leadership training. Our

880
00:28:05,456 --> 00:28:06,155
first-line supervisors have

881
00:28:06,155 --> 00:28:07,557
the greatest influence on the

882
00:28:07,557 --> 00:28:09,910
culture and direction of our

883
00:28:09,910 --> 00:28:09,792
agency. They play such a vital

884
00:28:09,792 --> 00:28:12,895
role that this is a priority

885
00:28:12,895 --> 00:28:13,596
for the department were

886
00:28:13,596 --> 00:28:15,996
participating in a consortium

887
00:28:16,566 --> 00:28:17,266
to advance police supervision

888
00:28:17,266 --> 00:28:18,133
called caps. And a first-line

889
00:28:18,133 --> 00:28:20,136
supervision study with the

890
00:28:20,136 --> 00:28:23,105
Ohio State University, we also

891
00:28:23,105 --> 00:28:25,408
provide a leadership Academy

892
00:28:25,408 --> 00:28:26,108
for officers and supervisors

893
00:28:26,108 --> 00:28:28,508
to enhance training. They've

894
00:28:31,815 --> 00:28:34,815
already had. We are grateful

895
00:28:35,986 --> 00:28:36,853
to the council for approving

896
00:28:36,853 --> 00:28:37,554
the spring fiscal to pay off

897
00:28:37,554 --> 00:28:39,554
installments early regarding

898
00:28:41,392 --> 00:28:42,826
our fleet. This will free up

899
00:28:42,826 --> 00:28:45,662
funding so that we are able to

900
00:28:45,662 --> 00:28:47,631
purchase approximately 180

901
00:28:47,631 --> 00:28:49,132
vehicles and we will continue

902
00:28:49,132 --> 00:28:50,600
to work at them. And our

903
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,600
council to continue to meet

904
00:28:53,970 --> 00:28:55,939
our ongoing needs. Annually.

905
00:28:55,939 --> 00:28:57,741
We need about 300 year 300

906
00:28:57,741 --> 00:28:58,408
vehicles per year in order

907
00:28:58,408 --> 00:29:01,111
keep our fleet current and

908
00:29:01,111 --> 00:29:04,111
up-to-date. Needs are based on

909
00:29:05,810 --> 00:29:06,516
the age of cars. The mileage,

910
00:29:06,516 --> 00:29:07,984
Anand, it's it's really just

911
00:29:07,984 --> 00:29:09,286
more than a car to our

912
00:29:09,286 --> 00:29:09,986
officers. There's a direct

913
00:29:09,986 --> 00:29:10,720
correlation between community

914
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,320
response and the health of our

915
00:29:14,324 --> 00:29:16,494
fleet. This is where officers

916
00:29:16,494 --> 00:29:19,429
spent a majority of their day

917
00:29:19,429 --> 00:29:20,765
over 10 hours a day. It's

918
00:29:20,765 --> 00:29:22,400
their office. And if they're

919
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:23,900
responding to a call for help

920
00:29:23,900 --> 00:29:25,503
or call for service, they have

921
00:29:25,503 --> 00:29:26,169
to have a reliable method of

922
00:29:26,169 --> 00:29:28,569
transportation to get there

923
00:29:32,176 --> 00:29:34,176
safely and effectively.

924
00:29:34,378 --> 00:29:36,146
Alright, progress and

925
00:29:36,146 --> 00:29:36,847
improvements. You'll hear me

926
00:29:36,847 --> 00:29:39,516
talk a little bit more detail

927
00:29:39,516 --> 00:29:41,552
about each of these topics

928
00:29:41,552 --> 00:29:43,353
that you'll see violence

929
00:29:43,353 --> 00:29:45,156
reduction is at a five-year

930
00:29:45,156 --> 00:29:45,823
low recoup recruitment and

931
00:29:45,823 --> 00:29:47,570
retention efforts are more

932
00:29:47,570 --> 00:29:47,758
intentional, inconsistent with

933
00:29:47,758 --> 00:29:50,193
applicants with a focus on

934
00:29:50,193 --> 00:29:51,229
marketing and engagement. Our

935
00:29:51,229 --> 00:29:52,762
early stages of our strategic

936
00:29:52,762 --> 00:29:55,762
plan are being implemented and

937
00:29:56,330 --> 00:29:56,868
to our department technology

938
00:29:56,868 --> 00:29:57,468
helps us all that the violent

939
00:29:57,468 --> 00:29:59,468
crimes efficiently and

940
00:30:00,404 --> 00:30:01,272
effectively. Making hundreds

941
00:30:01,272 --> 00:30:03,672
of connections and meetings

942
00:30:04,308 --> 00:30:05,309
through our community

943
00:30:05,309 --> 00:30:06,177
engagement. Our mcat and

944
00:30:06,177 --> 00:30:08,577
homeless outreach unit connect

945
00:30:10,448 --> 00:30:11,148
to our vulnerable neighbors.

946
00:30:11,148 --> 00:30:11,716
Connecting them with critical

947
00:30:11,716 --> 00:30:13,716
resources and support

948
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,288
services. And we continue to

949
00:30:17,288 --> 00:30:18,356
expand on officer wellness and

950
00:30:18,356 --> 00:30:19,557
provide officers with tools

951
00:30:19,557 --> 00:30:20,224
and resources to keep a

952
00:30:20,224 --> 00:30:22,224
well-balanced work. Health

953
00:30:25,696 --> 00:30:27,696
relationship. These violent

954
00:30:28,533 --> 00:30:30,434
crime and property crime

955
00:30:30,434 --> 00:30:32,834
statistics. These numbers show

956
00:30:33,137 --> 00:30:33,804
a 5 year decline in violent

957
00:30:33,804 --> 00:30:35,106
crime categories, including

958
00:30:35,106 --> 00:30:36,541
criminal homicides and

959
00:30:36,541 --> 00:30:37,508
non-fatal shootings. You can

960
00:30:37,508 --> 00:30:39,477
see that every category

961
00:30:39,477 --> 00:30:41,312
showing a decrease of 40% or

962
00:30:41,312 --> 00:30:41,979
better with the exception of

963
00:30:41,979 --> 00:30:44,979
property crime coming in at

964
00:30:46,117 --> 00:30:47,586
25%. These numbers are

965
00:30:47,586 --> 00:30:48,287
outpacing the national trends

966
00:30:48,287 --> 00:30:50,687
of violence reduction across

967
00:30:52,890 --> 00:30:52,790
the country. Our gun violence

968
00:30:52,790 --> 00:30:55,190
reduction strategy started in

969
00:30:56,460 --> 00:30:58,129
2021. We continue to remain

970
00:30:58,129 --> 00:30:58,863
focused on people, places and

971
00:30:58,863 --> 00:31:01,263
behaviors that are responsible

972
00:31:01,766 --> 00:31:02,366
for violent crime. And we

973
00:31:02,366 --> 00:31:03,670
recognize that it will

974
00:31:03,670 --> 00:31:06,572
continue to get more and more

975
00:31:06,572 --> 00:31:07,306
difficult to keep reductions

976
00:31:07,306 --> 00:31:10,906
at this pace. But that doesn't

977
00:31:11,108 --> 00:31:12,276
mean that we're going to stop.

978
00:31:12,276 --> 00:31:13,412
We'll build on those community

979
00:31:13,412 --> 00:31:13,979
partnerships, especially

980
00:31:13,979 --> 00:31:14,979
resources that target

981
00:31:14,979 --> 00:31:15,580
juveniles involved in gun

982
00:31:15,580 --> 00:31:17,580
violence and traumatic

983
00:31:22,354 --> 00:31:22,921
incidents. Some are our

984
00:31:22,921 --> 00:31:24,857
successes in violence

985
00:31:24,857 --> 00:31:27,257
reduction continued you'll see

986
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:29,261
a pat on the side there. Our

987
00:31:29,261 --> 00:31:30,280
Indiana Crime Guns Task Force

988
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,798
is a critical part in driving

989
00:31:32,798 --> 00:31:34,867
the violence and it

990
00:31:34,867 --> 00:31:35,534
contributes those to those

991
00:31:35,534 --> 00:31:37,534
slides there. 223 firearms

992
00:31:38,937 --> 00:31:40,937
seized. 19 machine gun

993
00:31:42,307 --> 00:31:43,141
conversion devices recovered.

994
00:31:43,141 --> 00:31:45,944
That's an incredible amount of

995
00:31:45,944 --> 00:31:46,678
fire power when those machine

996
00:31:46,678 --> 00:31:49,780
gun conversion devices are

997
00:31:50,282 --> 00:31:50,983
used within our community, the

998
00:31:50,983 --> 00:31:53,383
carnage and destruction that

999
00:31:55,754 --> 00:31:57,122
impact that they have is just

1000
00:31:57,122 --> 00:31:58,657
incredible. And they simply

1001
00:31:58,657 --> 00:31:59,725
just can't be So those bullets

1002
00:31:59,725 --> 00:32:02,725
are just going anywhere and

1003
00:32:04,863 --> 00:32:05,898
everywhere. Additionally,

1004
00:32:05,898 --> 00:32:06,598
you'll see on that slide. Our

1005
00:32:06,598 --> 00:32:08,998
District Violent crimes task

1006
00:32:09,100 --> 00:32:10,669
force and violence reduction

1007
00:32:10,669 --> 00:32:12,471
teams, contributions forsman

1008
00:32:12,471 --> 00:32:14,673
efforts are targeting known

1009
00:32:14,673 --> 00:32:15,707
crime contributors, focus

1010
00:32:15,707 --> 00:32:17,509
location, policing, finding

1011
00:32:17,509 --> 00:32:18,410
those locations that have high

1012
00:32:18,410 --> 00:32:19,511
Crime Inc. Also working with

1013
00:32:19,511 --> 00:32:22,511
our Indiana crimes, Guns Task

1014
00:32:23,582 --> 00:32:25,982
Force. Identifying those who

1015
00:32:26,285 --> 00:32:27,419
are most at risk of being

1016
00:32:27,419 --> 00:32:28,954
involved in violence in our

1017
00:32:28,954 --> 00:32:29,688
community and targeting them

1018
00:32:29,688 --> 00:32:32,688
to prevent future violence and

1019
00:32:35,962 --> 00:32:36,595
hold them accountable. I know

1020
00:32:36,595 --> 00:32:37,763
the slide is a little bit

1021
00:32:37,763 --> 00:32:38,463
small and hard to read.

1022
00:32:38,463 --> 00:32:39,164
Hopefully you have a copy of

1023
00:32:39,164 --> 00:32:42,764
the budget slides in front of

1024
00:32:46,500 --> 00:32:46,739
you. But you can see that the

1025
00:32:46,739 --> 00:32:47,807
the trends are consistent with

1026
00:32:47,807 --> 00:32:49,976
what we've already shared

1027
00:32:49,976 --> 00:32:51,845
about overall violence

1028
00:32:51,845 --> 00:32:54,245
reduction, the numbers of

1029
00:32:54,414 --> 00:32:55,348
youth that are impacted by

1030
00:32:55,348 --> 00:32:57,348
homicides and non-fatal

1031
00:32:59,152 --> 00:32:59,986
shootings have gone down. I

1032
00:32:59,986 --> 00:33:03,586
would add that one cabbie out

1033
00:33:04,991 --> 00:33:06,920
that the proportion. Of youth

1034
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:07,600
involved in our non-fatal

1035
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,660
shootings is up nearly 5 and a

1036
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,660
half percent. And all that

1037
00:33:13,660 --> 00:33:14,670
means is that it's a slight

1038
00:33:14,670 --> 00:33:14,802
increase in the proportion.

1039
00:33:14,802 --> 00:33:15,602
When you compare the number of

1040
00:33:15,602 --> 00:33:18,400
adults that have been involved

1041
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:18,639
in non-fatal shootings

1042
00:33:18,639 --> 00:33:21,639
compared to the number of

1043
00:33:22,509 --> 00:33:23,142
juveniles. Overall, fewer kids

1044
00:33:23,142 --> 00:33:26,142
have been in impacted by

1045
00:33:27,347 --> 00:33:28,470
violent crime. But I'd like to

1046
00:33:28,470 --> 00:33:29,616
see an even bigger reduction

1047
00:33:29,616 --> 00:33:32,452
in this particular area. I'd

1048
00:33:32,452 --> 00:33:34,721
also like to know that we

1049
00:33:34,721 --> 00:33:35,889
hosted several major events

1050
00:33:35,889 --> 00:33:38,570
downtown throughout the summer

1051
00:33:38,570 --> 00:33:42,257
for a second to. Might ask you

1052
00:33:43,970 --> 00:33:46,697
have a seat. You don't like

1053
00:33:47,660 --> 00:33:48,968
seeing What are cops a point

1054
00:33:48,968 --> 00:33:51,368
of order? Absolutely. Frank,

1055
00:33:51,872 --> 00:33:53,606
it's a point of order. It's

1056
00:33:53,606 --> 00:33:54,307
unbelievable. What are cops

1057
00:33:54,307 --> 00:33:55,420
did instead we take a moment

1058
00:33:55,420 --> 00:33:58,642
see right behind. You have see

1059
00:34:02,349 --> 00:34:04,749
back there. Thank you,

1060
00:34:06,653 --> 00:34:08,422
CHAIRMAN. As I was saying,

1061
00:34:08,422 --> 00:34:09,422
we've hosted several major

1062
00:34:09,422 --> 00:34:11,910
events downtown throughout the

1063
00:34:11,910 --> 00:34:13,327
summer. And while we saw an

1064
00:34:13,327 --> 00:34:13,994
increase in news that we're

1065
00:34:13,994 --> 00:34:14,662
out and about during those

1066
00:34:14,662 --> 00:34:17,662
events, not a single young

1067
00:34:18,132 --> 00:34:18,831
life was lost. Curfew allowed

1068
00:34:18,831 --> 00:34:20,601
us to intervene early in our

1069
00:34:20,601 --> 00:34:21,268
proactive efforts. Help

1070
00:34:21,268 --> 00:34:23,668
mitigate issues before they

1071
00:34:24,672 --> 00:34:25,438
could escalate. These outcomes

1072
00:34:25,438 --> 00:34:27,808
matter. The fact that we've

1073
00:34:27,808 --> 00:34:29,343
had fewer lives lost. You're

1074
00:34:29,343 --> 00:34:29,910
young lives impacted by gun

1075
00:34:29,910 --> 00:34:31,910
violence deserve some

1076
00:34:39,486 --> 00:34:41,886
recognition. Was deserve some

1077
00:34:41,889 --> 00:34:44,889
All right. I still continuing

1078
00:34:47,262 --> 00:34:49,662
continuing with successes on

1079
00:34:49,663 --> 00:34:50,264
the recruitment and retention

1080
00:34:50,264 --> 00:34:52,664
remains our number one

1081
00:34:53,167 --> 00:34:54,680
priority our strategic plan.

1082
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,171
We want to recruit people who

1083
00:34:57,171 --> 00:35:00,771
have a heart to serve with

1084
00:35:01,750 --> 00:35:01,775
integrity. In fairness, people

1085
00:35:01,775 --> 00:35:02,409
who want to impact their

1086
00:35:02,409 --> 00:35:03,110
community to stand up for

1087
00:35:03,110 --> 00:35:04,712
those who can't stand up for

1088
00:35:04,712 --> 00:35:07,112
themselves. And make a

1089
00:35:07,681 --> 00:35:09,149
difference in their community.

1090
00:35:09,149 --> 00:35:11,180
Again, we have more than 30

1091
00:35:11,180 --> 00:35:11,752
recruits are current class

1092
00:35:11,752 --> 00:35:12,453
with it, which is a

1093
00:35:12,453 --> 00:35:14,853
significant increase from the

1094
00:35:15,489 --> 00:35:17,726
last 4 years. I recruiting

1095
00:35:17,726 --> 00:35:18,993
team has been restructured and

1096
00:35:18,993 --> 00:35:21,495
is now under their training

1097
00:35:21,495 --> 00:35:23,330
academy, which streamlines

1098
00:35:23,330 --> 00:35:24,310
recruiting hiring and initial

1099
00:35:24,310 --> 00:35:26,431
training process for recruit

1100
00:35:28,135 --> 00:35:28,737
officers. The recruiting team

1101
00:35:28,737 --> 00:35:31,673
is also bringing in new

1102
00:35:31,673 --> 00:35:32,873
initiatives and fresh ideas.

1103
00:35:32,873 --> 00:35:33,774
We've launched a new

1104
00:35:33,774 --> 00:35:35,510
onboarding questionnaire to

1105
00:35:35,510 --> 00:35:37,411
learn how recruits learned

1106
00:35:37,411 --> 00:35:38,180
about impd and why they chose

1107
00:35:38,180 --> 00:35:38,847
our department. So we have

1108
00:35:38,847 --> 00:35:41,847
data on how applicants are

1109
00:35:42,584 --> 00:35:43,284
hearing about We're having

1110
00:35:43,284 --> 00:35:45,284
more consistent communication

1111
00:35:45,353 --> 00:35:46,188
with our applicants staying in

1112
00:35:46,188 --> 00:35:47,522
touch with them throughout the

1113
00:35:47,522 --> 00:35:48,223
hiring process to keep their

1114
00:35:48,223 --> 00:35:50,623
excitement up about. Joining

1115
00:35:52,259 --> 00:35:55,960
impd. We're tracking return on

1116
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:55,765
investment on all events,

1117
00:35:55,765 --> 00:35:56,965
partnerships and recruiting

1118
00:35:56,965 --> 00:35:57,632
efforts in evaluating our

1119
00:35:57,632 --> 00:35:59,301
processes to ensure we're

1120
00:35:59,301 --> 00:36:00,350
focusing those efforts in the

1121
00:36:00,350 --> 00:36:03,400
right places and engaging with

1122
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,173
the right people. New

1123
00:36:05,173 --> 00:36:06,675
initiatives also mean new

1124
00:36:06,675 --> 00:36:07,309
strategies. We have new events

1125
00:36:07,309 --> 00:36:10,309
for recruits to give them

1126
00:36:10,445 --> 00:36:11,913
unique insights into impd

1127
00:36:11,913 --> 00:36:13,782
Schiff. 0 allows our recruits

1128
00:36:13,782 --> 00:36:16,182
to meet specially units.

1129
00:36:16,551 --> 00:36:17,185
Detectives and even chiefs and

1130
00:36:17,185 --> 00:36:17,886
tour our facilities while

1131
00:36:17,886 --> 00:36:20,286
they're considering a career

1132
00:36:21,657 --> 00:36:23,425
was impd. Our applicants

1133
00:36:23,425 --> 00:36:24,125
scenarios allow for strong

1134
00:36:24,125 --> 00:36:25,260
candidates to have a hands-on

1135
00:36:25,260 --> 00:36:28,960
experience out of her. She

1136
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:28,964
will some of you in our

1137
00:36:28,964 --> 00:36:29,598
council have experienced what

1138

her shovels like and what

1139
00:36:30,734 --> 00:36:32,734
scenario-based training can

1140
00:36:32,801 --> 00:36:33,535
do. And that experience for

1141
00:36:33,535 --> 00:36:35,935
potential applicants is simply

1142
00:36:37,672 --> 00:36:38,406
invaluable. Also leveraging

1143
00:36:38,406 --> 00:36:40,806
partnerships with military and

1144
00:36:42,644 --> 00:36:43,311
colleges for great exposure.

1145
00:36:43,311 --> 00:36:44,179
And are joined impd social

1147
00:36:45,747 --> 00:36:46,681
have seen as leaning into

1148
00:36:46,681 --> 00:36:48,116
storytelling showing what

1149
00:36:48,116 --> 00:36:50,516
policing really looks like

1150
00:36:50,953 --> 00:36:52,953
body-worn camera.

1151
00:37:04,934 --> 00:37:06,934
Over 1700 seconds.

1152
00:37:16,812 --> 00:37:17,547
Sharia. Those in the audience

1153
00:37:17,547 --> 00:37:18,800
will have a chance to speak at

1154
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:18,814
the conclusion of

1155
00:37:18,814 --> 00:37:21,814
representation. So if you want

1156
00:37:21,884 --> 00:37:22,485
to sign up here, you have a

1157
00:37:22,485 --> 00:37:23,186
chance to speak to the

1158
00:37:23,186 --> 00:37:26,186
audience was we have public

1159
00:37:27,990 --> 00:37:28,724
testimony. Thank you, Chief.

1160
00:37:28,724 --> 00:37:29,392
So as I was talking about, our

1161
00:37:29,392 --> 00:37:31,527
social media strategy as it

1162
00:37:31,527 --> 00:37:32,628
relates to recruitment, we're

1163
00:37:32,628 --> 00:37:34,263
showing what policing really

1164
00:37:34,263 --> 00:37:36,299
looks like through body-worn

1165
00:37:36,299 --> 00:37:37,533
camera footage. Social media

1166
00:37:37,533 --> 00:37:38,367
gives us the chance to connect

1167
00:37:38,367 --> 00:37:39,101
with people far beyond

1168
00:37:39,101 --> 00:37:42,101
Indianapolis and raising it to

1169
00:37:43,139 --> 00:37:43,906
build those bridges. We also

1170
00:37:43,906 --> 00:37:44,607
incorporated a new functional

1171
00:37:44,607 --> 00:37:46,876
fitness tests which was born

1172
00:37:46,876 --> 00:37:48,440
out of the state standard.

1173
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:49,512
This exposes applicants to the

1174
00:37:49,512 --> 00:37:51,547
physical demands of being an

1175
00:37:51,547 --> 00:37:52,181
officer. We also offer that

1176
00:37:52,181 --> 00:37:54,181
functional fitness tests,

1177
00:37:55,918 --> 00:37:57,190
which isn't new hiring

1178
00:37:57,190 --> 00:37:58,654
standard monthly to allow

1179
00:37:58,654 --> 00:38:00,823
potential applicants to test

1180
00:38:00,823 --> 00:38:01,524
their skills and learn the new

1181
00:38:01,524 --> 00:38:04,524
test before they actually go

1182
00:38:06,662 --> 00:38:07,830
during the hiring process. Our

1183
00:38:07,830 --> 00:38:10,230
strategic plan was published

1184
00:38:10,733 --> 00:38:11,367
earlier this year in FEBRUARY.

1185
00:38:11,367 --> 00:38:12,340
And since then, we have

1186
00:38:12,340 --> 00:38:14,300
created and executive staff

1187
00:38:14,300 --> 00:38:16,403
position to oversee. It's

1188
00:38:16,606 --> 00:38:18,606
progress and implementation

1189
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:19,842
are 2 priorities this year,

1190
00:38:19,842 --> 00:38:20,543
our recruiting and retention,

1191
00:38:20,543 --> 00:38:23,543
which you've already heard me

1192
00:38:23,847 --> 00:38:24,914
emphasize. And we're

1193
00:38:24,914 --> 00:38:26,315
identifying gaps in our

1194
00:38:26,315 --> 00:38:27,885
community partnerships, making

1195
00:38:27,885 --> 00:38:28,618
intentional expansion of

1196
00:38:28,618 --> 00:38:31,180
relationships to represent our

1197
00:38:33,122 --> 00:38:33,790
community. We often talk about

1198
00:38:33,790 --> 00:38:34,790
community partnerships and

1199
00:38:34,790 --> 00:38:37,728
we're fortunate to have so

1200
00:38:37,728 --> 00:38:39,960
many. But we know we need more

1201
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:41,300
to truly serve Indy. Our

1202
00:38:41,300 --> 00:38:43,100
partners must represent every

1203
00:38:43,100 --> 00:38:45,100
neighborhood race, religion,

1204
00:38:45,302 --> 00:38:45,969
orientation and ethnicity.

1205
00:38:45,969 --> 00:38:48,105
That's why we're working to

1206
00:38:48,105 --> 00:38:50,741
document who our partners are.

1207
00:38:50,741 --> 00:38:51,441
So we can identify where the

1208
00:38:51,441 --> 00:38:55,410
gaps exist and take action to

1209
00:38:57,948 --> 00:38:58,649
make new connections.

1210
00:38:58,649 --> 00:38:59,683
Technology continues to be a

1211
00:38:59,683 --> 00:39:01,351
game changer for impd. It

1212
00:39:01,351 --> 00:39:03,387
allows officers to work

1213
00:39:03,387 --> 00:39:04,870
smarter. Connect the dots more

1214
00:39:04,870 --> 00:39:04,688
quickly and ultimately solve

1215
00:39:04,688 --> 00:39:07,880
crimes faster than ever

1216
00:39:07,524 --> 00:39:10,260
before. Drones are helping us

1217
00:39:10,260 --> 00:39:11,863
during all types of incidents.

1218
00:39:11,863 --> 00:39:13,830
Currently we have 100 drones

1219
00:39:13,830 --> 00:39:15,366
and service and 69 certified

1220
00:39:15,366 --> 00:39:17,134
pilots. One of the largest law

1221
00:39:17,134 --> 00:39:19,536
enforcement drone units in the

1222
00:39:19,536 --> 00:39:20,437
U.S. We used drones for safe

1223
00:39:20,437 --> 00:39:21,138
policing during large major

1224
00:39:21,138 --> 00:39:24,738
events like JULY 4th or MARCH

1225
00:39:25,442 --> 00:39:26,977
Madness. Additionally, every

1226
00:39:26,977 --> 00:39:27,578
patrol officers equipped with

1227
00:39:27,578 --> 00:39:29,578
body-worn camera. These

1228
00:39:29,713 --> 00:39:31,140
cameras have been updated.

1229
00:39:31,140 --> 00:39:32,883
They have better battery life,

1230
00:39:32,883 --> 00:39:33,650
higher quality video and other

1231
00:39:33,650 --> 00:39:35,650
features that increase

1232
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:38,155
transparency for our

1233
00:39:38,155 --> 00:39:38,755
community. Our real time crime

1234
00:39:38,755 --> 00:39:39,389
center is staffed with

1235
00:39:39,389 --> 00:39:41,389
professional analysts and

1236
00:39:41,658 --> 00:39:42,827
sworn officers. Both they

1237
00:39:42,827 --> 00:39:44,561
worked during high-volume

1238
00:39:44,561 --> 00:39:45,395
times as well as Friday and

1239
00:39:45,395 --> 00:39:46,130
Saturday nights and during

1240
00:39:46,130 --> 00:39:49,701
special events like the 4th of

1241
00:39:49,701 --> 00:39:51,369
JULY. They also provide

1242
00:39:51,369 --> 00:39:53,371
another tool that helps

1243
00:39:53,371 --> 00:39:53,972
prevent mitigate and solve

1244
00:39:53,972 --> 00:39:55,972
crimes efficiently and

1245
00:40:01,546 --> 00:40:02,247
effectively. Continuing on

1246
00:40:02,247 --> 00:40:03,514
with successes for community

1247
00:40:03,514 --> 00:40:05,514
engagement. Game community

1248
00:40:07,317 --> 00:40:09,153
engagement is at the heart of

1249
00:40:09,153 --> 00:40:09,953
effective policing. Impd

1250
00:40:09,953 --> 00:40:11,889
continues to make strides to

1251
00:40:11,889 --> 00:40:13,958
engage all areas of our

1252
00:40:13,958 --> 00:40:15,260
community through 105

1253
00:40:15,260 --> 00:40:15,727
community meetings with key

1254
00:40:15,727 --> 00:40:17,727
stakeholders and neighborhood

1255
00:40:19,497 --> 00:40:20,231
leaders. The agency has made

1256
00:40:20,231 --> 00:40:20,899
hundreds of new connections to

1257
00:40:20,899 --> 00:40:23,299
parents, their children and

1258
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:25,360
other neighbors. Through more

1259
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,436
than 2400 events. We've either

1260
00:40:28,306 --> 00:40:30,341
hosted or attended connecting

1261
00:40:30,341 --> 00:40:32,477
with youth is the key focus of

1262
00:40:32,477 --> 00:40:33,144
this We also have a gaming

1263
00:40:33,144 --> 00:40:36,144
trailer that's going to be

1264
00:40:36,314 --> 00:40:37,115
activated this fall for many

1265
00:40:37,115 --> 00:40:38,416
of the youth gaming is very

1266
00:40:38,416 --> 00:40:39,170
familiar and comfortable and

1267
00:40:39,170 --> 00:40:39,684
this will allow special

1268
00:40:39,684 --> 00:40:42,840
connections with our police

1269
00:40:43,154 --> 00:40:44,923
officers. The mobile trailer

1270
00:40:44,923 --> 00:40:46,925
will also allow our officers

1271
00:40:46,925 --> 00:40:47,659
to visit our use where they

1272
00:40:47,659 --> 00:40:51,859
are and not force them come to

1273
00:40:54,980 --> 00:40:57,698
us. We're also calling for a

1274
00:40:58,369 --> 00:40:59,270
second team so you get we will

1275
00:40:59,270 --> 00:41:00,471
have public testimony from

1276
00:41:00,471 --> 00:41:02,373
each of you. So when you're

1277
00:41:02,373 --> 00:41:04,542
speaking to the microphone to

1278
00:41:04,542 --> 00:41:06,544
the public, I'm sure you want

1279
00:41:06,544 --> 00:41:07,779
others to hear you out and

1280
00:41:07,779 --> 00:41:08,480
listen to So let's hear all

1281
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:09,180
says a few more slides to go

1282
00:41:09,180 --> 00:41:09,848
that you guys get to come up

1283
00:41:09,848 --> 00:41:12,848
and share your thoughts as

1284
00:41:13,952 --> 00:41:15,220
well. So again, when you're

1285
00:41:15,220 --> 00:41:15,920
speaking, you don't want on

1286
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:16,589
the scream at you when you're

1287
00:41:16,589 --> 00:41:19,240
speaking. So let's let her

1288
00:41:19,240 --> 00:41:21,240
speak look.

1289
00:41:35,307 --> 00:41:37,209
With chief. Continuing on with

1290
00:41:37,209 --> 00:41:37,910
community engagement. We're

1291
00:41:37,910 --> 00:41:39,144
also going to continue and to

1292
00:41:39,144 --> 00:41:41,447
get our mounted officers in

1293
00:41:41,447 --> 00:41:42,147
community for more engagement,

1294
00:41:42,147 --> 00:41:44,547
high visibility and positive

1295
00:41:48,654 --> 00:41:49,320
community connections. Again

1296
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,857
with us. Our successes are

1297
00:41:51,857 --> 00:41:52,758
mobile crisis assistance team.

1298
00:41:52,758 --> 00:41:54,560
This mental health is an issue

1299
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:55,261
that impacts so many across

1300
00:41:55,261 --> 00:41:57,830
our community. It's a complex

1301
00:41:57,830 --> 00:41:58,464
and sensitive topic that

1302
00:41:58,464 --> 00:42:00,864
requires a thoughtful and

1303
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:02,535
holistic approach. We

1304
00:42:02,535 --> 00:42:03,235
recognize that law enforcement

1305
00:42:03,235 --> 00:42:05,538
MAY not be the best response

1306
00:42:05,538 --> 00:42:06,205
to mental health calls and

1307
00:42:06,205 --> 00:42:06,939
we're committed to looking

1308
00:42:06,939 --> 00:42:10,539
into other options in order to

1309
00:42:10,809 --> 00:42:11,777
best serve our community. Our

1310
00:42:11,777 --> 00:42:12,545
mcat teams do bring a

1311
00:42:12,545 --> 00:42:13,212
collaborative approach,

1312
00:42:13,212 --> 00:42:15,612
allowing law enforcement to

1313
00:42:16,582 --> 00:42:17,283
address safety concerns. Well,

1314
00:42:17,283 --> 00:42:17,883
trained professionals provide

1315
00:42:17,883 --> 00:42:19,883
critical mental health

1316
00:42:21,530 --> 00:42:23,453
expertise and resources. Our

1317
00:42:25,580 --> 00:42:26,859
homeless outreach unit

1318
00:42:26,859 --> 00:42:27,560
constantly navigates complex

1319
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:29,960
situations that require both

1320
00:42:30,297 --> 00:42:31,398
compassion and enforcement.

1321
00:42:31,398 --> 00:42:33,200
While addressing the needs of

1322
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,167
unhoused individuals. We also

1323
00:42:35,167 --> 00:42:37,200
are maintain public safety and

1324
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,905
ensure that public spaces are

1325
00:42:39,905 --> 00:42:40,739
accessible to everyone. Our

1326
00:42:40,739 --> 00:42:42,575
homeless outreach has touched

1327
00:42:42,575 --> 00:42:44,677
so many lives of the past

1328
00:42:44,677 --> 00:42:46,378
year. Nearly 1500 people have

1329
00:42:46,378 --> 00:42:47,581
been contacted and given

1330
00:42:47,581 --> 00:42:48,981
resources and we look forward

1331
00:42:48,981 --> 00:42:51,381
to working alongside our

1332
00:42:53,987 --> 00:42:55,200
community partners in 2027.

1333
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:56,880
Officer wellness is another

1334
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:57,900
key priority. And our

1335
00:42:57,900 --> 00:43:00,690
strategic plan as we move into

1336
00:43:01,610 --> 00:43:02,270
2027. We will continue to

1337
00:43:02,270 --> 00:43:03,290
engage with officers and their

1338
00:43:03,290 --> 00:43:05,429
families. Not just reactive

1339
00:43:05,664 --> 00:43:06,733
Lee, but also proactively this

1340
00:43:06,733 --> 00:43:09,100
year. We've had 5 officers

1341
00:43:09,100 --> 00:43:11,710
shot in the line of duty,

1342
00:43:11,710 --> 00:43:14,710
violence of any kind toward

1343
00:43:15,750 --> 00:43:17,750
officers, unacceptable. And

1344
00:43:17,677 --> 00:43:18,345
the impact of having officer

1345
00:43:18,345 --> 00:43:19,450
shot. The sheriff has had a

1346
00:43:19,450 --> 00:43:21,445
serious ripple effect across

1347
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:24,217
our entire agency. Officers

1348
00:43:24,217 --> 00:43:25,886
see and experience trauma and

1349
00:43:25,886 --> 00:43:26,653
other physical emotional and

1350
00:43:26,653 --> 00:43:28,653
psychological demands while

1351
00:43:29,623 --> 00:43:30,790
serving our community, the

1352
00:43:30,790 --> 00:43:31,925
health and well-being of our

1353
00:43:31,925 --> 00:43:34,925
police officers has a direct

1354
00:43:35,629 --> 00:43:37,130
impact on public safety

1355
00:43:37,130 --> 00:43:37,931
investing in our officers,

1356
00:43:37,931 --> 00:43:39,533
insurers, Indianapolis,

1357
00:43:39,533 --> 00:43:40,400
families, neighborhoods and

1358
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:41,670
businesses are served by first

1359
00:43:41,670 --> 00:43:43,870
responders who are at their

1360
00:43:43,870 --> 00:43:46,270
best. Annual wellness business

1361
00:43:47,674 --> 00:43:48,842
are also increasing. We

1362
00:43:48,842 --> 00:43:50,110
require officers in are most

1363
00:43:50,110 --> 00:43:51,678
exposed units to participate

1364
00:43:51,678 --> 00:43:54,678
in those wellness visits. The

1365
00:43:54,916 --> 00:43:55,516
feedback from those meetings

1366
00:43:55,516 --> 00:43:56,483
has been overwhelmingly

1367
00:43:56,483 --> 00:43:59,483
positive and those visits will

1368
00:44:01,188 --> 00:44:03,588
continue in 2027. Goals for

1369
00:44:05,759 --> 00:44:06,760
2027. You've heard me talk

1370
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:08,228
about the successes of these

1371
00:44:08,228 --> 00:44:10,330
various topics and many of our

1372
00:44:10,330 --> 00:44:11,331
priorities remain the same. We

1373
00:44:11,331 --> 00:44:13,400
look forward to building on

1374
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:15,368
the progress we've already

1375
00:44:15,368 --> 00:44:18,368
made 2026. As we move into

1376
00:44:22,310 --> 00:44:22,944
2027. Plans for impd North

1377
00:44:22,944 --> 00:44:25,344
District. Speaking of our

1378
00:44:26,747 --> 00:44:29,830
future. I'm very excited that

1379
00:44:29,830 --> 00:44:29,684
impd North MAY be getting the

1380
00:44:29,684 --> 00:44:31,684
first city constructed

1381
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:34,255
city-owned impd facility since

1382
00:44:34,255 --> 00:44:35,922
the 1990's. We often talk

1383
00:44:35,922 --> 00:44:36,557
about the impact of our

1384
00:44:36,557 --> 00:44:38,258
facilities. Our officers,

1385
00:44:38,258 --> 00:44:40,658
employees and the community,

1386
00:44:42,563 --> 00:44:43,231
the around Israel. While our

1387
00:44:43,231 --> 00:44:43,898
North District building has

1388
00:44:43,898 --> 00:44:46,898
served us well for decades.

1389
00:44:47,235 --> 00:44:48,636
It's also run its course. The

1390
00:44:48,636 --> 00:44:51,360
proposed new facility will

1391
00:44:51,138 --> 00:44:51,939
bring a welcoming and inviting

1392
00:44:51,939 --> 00:44:53,400
space. That's designed to be

1393
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,309
accessible open and a true

1394
00:44:55,309 --> 00:44:55,910
part of the neighborhood.

1395
00:44:55,910 --> 00:44:58,310
We'll have a dedicated

1396
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:00,848
community. And open space to

1397
00:45:00,848 --> 00:45:02,848
host neighborhood association

1398
00:45:04,385 --> 00:45:05,353
meetings and community events

1399
00:45:05,353 --> 00:45:07,321
more. It will also provide

1400
00:45:07,321 --> 00:45:08,723
more interaction. We know the

1401
00:45:08,723 --> 00:45:09,724
true community policing

1402
00:45:09,724 --> 00:45:10,358
thrives on connection and this

1403
00:45:10,358 --> 00:45:11,927
facility will provide the

1404
00:45:11,927 --> 00:45:12,860
space needed for officers and

1405
00:45:12,860 --> 00:45:15,260
neighbors to collaborate side

1406
00:45:17,131 --> 00:45:17,899
by side. We all recognize how

1407
00:45:17,899 --> 00:45:19,667
important safe modern

1408
00:45:19,667 --> 00:45:21,869
facilities are for officers

1409
00:45:21,869 --> 00:45:22,537
and staff. That's why a

1410
00:45:22,537 --> 00:45:24,472
comprehensive master

1411
00:45:24,472 --> 00:45:26,474
facilities plan is also

1412
00:45:26,474 --> 00:45:27,108
underway. That will identify

1413
00:45:27,108 --> 00:45:28,776
which building should be

1414
00:45:28,776 --> 00:45:29,310
prioritized for upgrades

1415
00:45:29,310 --> 00:45:31,310
replacement or new

1416
00:45:33,381 --> 00:45:35,216
construction. Now I will turn

1417
00:45:35,216 --> 00:45:35,950
it over to our cfo Paul to get

1418
00:45:35,950 --> 00:45:37,418
into the nuts and bolts of our

1419
00:45:37,418 --> 00:45:40,418
budget. Thank you. Chief MISS

1420
00:45:45,626 --> 00:45:46,327
Hall. Good evening. The 23 79.

1421
00:45:46,327 --> 00:45:47,629
The better question essential

1422
00:45:47,629 --> 00:45:48,363
to sustaining for law

1423
00:45:48,363 --> 00:45:50,363
enforcement operations. Every

1424
00:45:51,567 --> 00:45:53,967
component, Mike, a little

1425
00:45:55,103 --> 00:45:56,404
closer. Please Thank you.

1426
00:45:56,404 --> 00:45:58,804
Every component from vehicles

1427
00:45:59,700 --> 00:46:00,107
at service, mobile offices to

1428
00:46:00,107 --> 00:46:01,410
the overtime required for

1429
00:46:01,410 --> 00:46:02,100
major events is critical to

1430
00:46:02,100 --> 00:46:03,445
our ability to protect

1431
00:46:03,445 --> 00:46:05,845
residents and visitors. This

1432
00:46:07,449 --> 00:46:08,250
budget supports operation

1433
00:46:08,250 --> 00:46:09,484
operational continuity will

1434
00:46:09,484 --> 00:46:10,452
strategically leveraging

1435
00:46:10,452 --> 00:46:11,530
technology to offset staffing

1436
00:46:11,530 --> 00:46:13,530
shortages and maintain

1437
00:46:19,595 --> 00:46:20,229
effective policing. Like you.

1438
00:46:20,229 --> 00:46:23,829
I don't think it a volume

1439
00:46:28,570 --> 00:46:30,939
control. Okay. So our budget

1440
00:46:30,939 --> 00:46:31,673
represents all characters,

1441
00:46:31,673 --> 00:46:33,673
supplies, equipment, contracts

1442
00:46:34,910 --> 00:46:35,978
and charge backs our budget

1443
00:46:35,978 --> 00:46:38,978
requests has an increase of 40

1444
00:46:39,748 --> 00:46:41,748
over 41 Million. With

1445
00:46:42,184 --> 00:46:44,584
25 million being in ip

1446
00:46:44,820 --> 00:46:46,820
general, reduction of 57,000

1447
00:46:47,322 --> 00:46:51,360
due to a fun shifts. And some

1448
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:52,828
new grant funds. Driving

1449
00:46:52,828 --> 00:46:53,529
factors for increases will be

1450
00:46:53,529 --> 00:46:56,529
just discussed in next slide.

1451
00:46:59,601 --> 00:47:01,570
This. Our revenue sources are

1452
00:47:01,570 --> 00:47:02,304
listed here. I'm peas revenue

1453
00:47:02,304 --> 00:47:02,971
projections service, a modest,

1454
00:47:02,971 --> 00:47:04,641
the reliable supplement to

1455
00:47:04,641 --> 00:47:06,508
support public safety

1456
00:47:06,508 --> 00:47:07,477
operations. While revenue is

1457
00:47:07,477 --> 00:47:09,946
not a major funding source for

1458
00:47:09,946 --> 00:47:10,947
the ipd budget, the end him

1459
00:47:10,947 --> 00:47:12,781
income generated from record

1460
00:47:12,781 --> 00:47:13,850
these acts reports violation

1461
00:47:13,850 --> 00:47:14,583
penalties, help support the

1462
00:47:14,583 --> 00:47:16,983
everyday services are officers

1463
00:47:19,550 --> 00:47:21,456
rely on in Fields. The top 3

1464
00:47:21,456 --> 00:47:22,124
sources of our revenue record

1465
00:47:22,124 --> 00:47:23,992
Zacks reports and alarm fi

1466
00:47:23,992 --> 00:47:25,992
violation, fines and

1467
00:47:26,963 --> 00:47:28,965
penalties. And then we do

1468
00:47:28,965 --> 00:47:31,990
receive the portion of the

1469
00:47:31,990 --> 00:47:31,767
funding from the Capital

1470
00:47:31,767 --> 00:47:32,468
Improvement Board, which is

1471
00:47:32,468 --> 00:47:36,680
split between impd and I have

1472
00:47:38,106 --> 00:47:39,709
to you. Grant funding as a

1473
00:47:39,709 --> 00:47:40,610
vital pillar time these

1474
00:47:40,610 --> 00:47:41,845
operational capability

1475
00:47:41,845 --> 00:47:42,679
enabling the department to

1476
00:47:42,679 --> 00:47:44,614
test new strategies require

1477
00:47:44,614 --> 00:47:46,549
specialized equipment.

1478
00:47:46,549 --> 00:47:47,817
Enhanced technology and expand

1479
00:47:47,817 --> 00:47:48,585
officer bonus programs. These

1480
00:47:48,585 --> 00:47:49,619
grants allow us to make

1481
00:47:49,619 --> 00:47:50,386
targeted investments that

1482
00:47:50,386 --> 00:47:52,786
directly improve our ability

1483
00:47:53,223 --> 00:47:53,890
to respond to her crying

1484
00:47:53,890 --> 00:47:56,290
support. Officers and serve

1485
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:07,737
the community. Character, wine

1486
00:48:07,737 --> 00:48:08,438
or personal care, resigned to

1487
00:48:08,438 --> 00:48:09,138
U.S. Workforce. Ensuring we

1488
00:48:09,138 --> 00:48:12,138
have the personnel needed to

1489
00:48:12,442 --> 00:48:13,109
meet public safety demands

1490
00:48:13,109 --> 00:48:14,577
funding for sworn officers.

1491
00:48:14,577 --> 00:48:15,512
New recruits, professional

1492
00:48:15,512 --> 00:48:17,280
staff and negotiated

1493
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:18,214
negotiated compensation

1494
00:48:18,214 --> 00:48:20,214
packages, protect staffing

1495
00:48:21,985 --> 00:48:22,652
levels and supports retention

1496
00:48:22,652 --> 00:48:23,319
to write directly impacting

1497
00:48:23,319 --> 00:48:24,200
her ability to deliver

1498
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:26,200
consistent policing services

1499
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:31,928
citywide. Our personal budget

1500
00:48:31,928 --> 00:48:34,328
is approximately 79% of our

1501
00:48:35,231 --> 00:48:37,631
total overall budget. Our

1502
00:48:38,100 --> 00:48:40,401
requests includes budget for

1503
00:48:42,272 --> 00:48:44,272
17. 43 sworn positions. As

1504
00:48:44,908 --> 00:48:46,777
well as 258 professional staff

1505
00:48:46,777 --> 00:48:48,878
positions. It's important to

1506
00:48:48,878 --> 00:48:50,470
note that not all store in

1507
00:48:50,470 --> 00:48:51,470
vacancies are budgeted 100%.

1508
00:48:51,470 --> 00:48:53,449
If they were our budget would

1509
00:48:53,449 --> 00:48:55,486
be a pact. That would be much

1510
00:48:55,486 --> 00:48:57,221
higher in coordination with

1511
00:48:57,221 --> 00:48:57,955
let them we assessed over time

1512
00:48:57,955 --> 00:48:59,857
in her knees to determine the

1513
00:48:59,857 --> 00:49:02,257
appropriate amount of budget

1514
00:49:03,894 --> 00:49:04,595
each year ensure our character

1515
00:49:04,595 --> 00:49:05,695
one request is realistic and

1516
00:49:05,695 --> 00:49:07,598
reasonable will meeting our

1517
00:49:07,598 --> 00:49:08,265
operational needs. If funding

1518
00:49:08,265 --> 00:49:10,568
is reduced, we will not be

1519
00:49:10,568 --> 00:49:11,202
able to fill vacant ships or

1520
00:49:11,202 --> 00:49:13,304
cover events which would

1521
00:49:13,304 --> 00:49:15,304
jeopardize public safety.

1522
00:49:16,273 --> 00:49:18,673
There is an additional

1523
00:49:19,643 --> 00:49:21,643
21 million dollars included.

1524
00:49:23,647 --> 00:49:24,281
In our personnel budget which

1525
00:49:24,281 --> 00:49:25,115
covers union negotiated,

1526
00:49:25,115 --> 00:49:27,184
raises cost living and just

1527
00:49:27,184 --> 00:49:28,619
adjustments for non-union

1528
00:49:28,619 --> 00:49:30,619
personnel and implementation

1529
00:49:33,958 --> 00:49:34,658
of this step increase program.

1530
00:49:34,658 --> 00:49:35,960
So I'm the general increases

1531
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:37,461
are comprised of the following

1532
00:49:37,461 --> 00:49:39,797
for salaries around 12 million

1533
00:49:39,797 --> 00:49:40,731
benefits around 8 Million. We

1534
00:49:40,731 --> 00:49:43,731
had increase in workers comp

1535
00:49:45,903 --> 00:49:47,903
of 600,000 and 150,053 1000

1536
00:49:59,917 --> 00:50:01,850
for the staff and program. It

1537
00:50:01,850 --> 00:50:02,860
takes a great deal of manpower

1538
00:50:02,860 --> 00:50:03,654
to keep our city safe during

1539
00:50:03,654 --> 00:50:05,756
special events and major

1540
00:50:05,756 --> 00:50:07,458
games. The funding allocated

1541
00:50:07,458 --> 00:50:08,659
to support overtime ensures

1542
00:50:08,659 --> 00:50:10,395
community safety during high

1543
00:50:10,395 --> 00:50:11,610
attendance events and supports

1544
00:50:11,610 --> 00:50:12,630
traffic control. Emergency

1545
00:50:12,630 --> 00:50:14,533
response and community

1546
00:50:14,533 --> 00:50:16,700
engagement over time allows

1547
00:50:16,700 --> 00:50:17,335
impd to cover the demands for

1548
00:50:17,335 --> 00:50:19,735
each of without impacting

1549
00:50:20,372 --> 00:50:23,372
regular patrols. Moving on to

1550
00:50:24,809 --> 00:50:26,811
our supply budget. There is a

1551
00:50:26,811 --> 00:50:29,211
modest increase in federal

1552
00:50:29,381 --> 00:50:31,116
grants of 85,000. We saw a

1553
00:50:31,116 --> 00:50:33,516
minor reduction little over

1554
00:50:33,785 --> 00:50:35,320
1000 Friday general, which is

1555
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:36,221
it do our Crime Guns Task

1556
00:50:36,221 --> 00:50:39,357
Force Grant. It was just a

1557
00:50:39,357 --> 00:50:40,250
reduced need. First appliance.

1558
00:50:40,250 --> 00:50:43,250
So there weren't very many

1559
00:50:46,131 --> 00:50:49,670
changes there. So our supply

1560
00:50:49,670 --> 00:50:50,268
budget suppliers officers,

1561
00:50:50,268 --> 00:50:52,137
officers need to safely and

1562
00:50:52,137 --> 00:50:52,704
effectively perform their

1563
00:50:52,704 --> 00:50:54,704
duties. This includes

1564
00:50:56,700 --> 00:50:57,800
uniforms, body armor,

1565
00:50:57,800 --> 00:50:57,742
investigator tools, animal

1566
00:50:57,742 --> 00:50:58,376
supplies, parts for committing

1567
00:50:58,376 --> 00:51:00,212
to be a core pairs office

1568
00:51:00,212 --> 00:51:01,947
supplies and training

1569
00:51:01,947 --> 00:51:02,681
materials. The supplies are

1570
00:51:02,681 --> 00:51:04,783
fundamental to officer safety.

1571
00:51:04,783 --> 00:51:05,350
Bring this in the quality for

1572
00:51:05,350 --> 00:51:07,350
investigated a field

1573
00:51:09,788 --> 00:51:11,991
operation. Supplies are only

1574
00:51:11,991 --> 00:51:14,991
one percent our total overall

1575
00:51:15,260 --> 00:51:16,940
budget. He budget changes are

1576
00:51:16,940 --> 00:51:16,761
due to decreased. As I

1577
00:51:16,761 --> 00:51:18,430
mentioned previously in the

1578
00:51:18,430 --> 00:51:20,298
crime, guns test for supply

1579
00:51:20,298 --> 00:51:23,335
budget and an increase in the

1580
00:51:23,335 --> 00:51:25,604
of 85,000 for federal grants.

1581
00:51:25,604 --> 00:51:26,872
A list of items planned uses

1582
00:51:26,872 --> 00:51:27,539
for the funds has been

1583
00:51:27,539 --> 00:51:29,939
mentioned previously and is

1584
00:51:32,244 --> 00:51:35,180
listed on the slide. Other

1585
00:51:35,180 --> 00:51:36,248
service in churches, a

1586
00:51:36,248 --> 00:51:38,248
character 3 supports the

1587
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:40,987
infrastructure. The keep find

1588
00:51:40,987 --> 00:51:41,888

1589
00:51:41,888 --> 00:51:43,321
building leases are building

1590

1591
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:45,791
software, licensing equipment,

1592
00:51:45,791 --> 00:51:47,791
maintenance utilities, and

1593
00:51:47,994 --> 00:51:48,894
special services. The services

1594
00:51:48,894 --> 00:51:49,695
ensure officers have

1595
00:51:49,695 --> 00:51:50,997
functional facilities,

1596
00:51:50,997 --> 00:51:51,663
reliable technology, and

1597
00:51:51,663 --> 00:51:52,264
support systems required to

1598
00:51:52,264 --> 00:51:54,264
sustain modern policing

1599
00:51:58,436 --> 00:51:59,405
efforts. Services and charges

1600
00:51:59,405 --> 00:52:02,405
is responsible for 30% of impd

1601
00:52:03,442 --> 00:52:04,343
is total budget request charge

1602
00:52:04,343 --> 00:52:05,978
backs increased by

1603
00:52:05,978 --> 00:52:06,646
approximately 1.6 million

1604
00:52:06,646 --> 00:52:08,646
between building authority.

1605
00:52:12,985 --> 00:52:17,185
And I sa. Key drivers of the

1606
00:52:17,523 --> 00:52:18,224
2.2 million increase. We're

1607
00:52:18,224 --> 00:52:21,224
also result of some increases

1608
00:52:22,528 --> 00:52:23,863
in our grant funding. General.

1609
00:52:23,863 --> 00:52:26,263
There's a 700,000 increase for

1610
00:52:28,302 --> 00:52:31,302
Crime Guns Task Force. And

1611
00:52:31,437 --> 00:52:34,437
there is and remaining 162 k

1612
00:52:35,208 --> 00:52:35,975
19, sorry I'm child due known

1613
00:52:35,975 --> 00:52:38,375
increases execute leases and

1614
00:52:40,460 --> 00:52:42,460
contracts. The remaining

1615
00:52:42,114 --> 00:52:42,815
drivers are basically grant

1616
00:52:42,815 --> 00:52:43,449
funding that additional grant

1617
00:52:43,449 --> 00:52:46,449
funding we pursued in are

1618
00:52:52,458 --> 00:52:53,292
expecting awards for.

1619
00:52:53,292 --> 00:52:55,428
Equipment funds. The major

1620
00:52:55,428 --> 00:52:56,950
equipment and technology

1621
00:52:56,950 --> 00:52:56,863
investments that strengthen

1622
00:52:56,863 --> 00:52:57,464
operational effectiveness.

1623
00:52:57,464 --> 00:52:59,464
This includes financing

1624
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,000
payments for approximately 118

1625
00:53:02,735 --> 00:53:03,469
new vehicles. And our existing

1626
00:53:03,469 --> 00:53:05,805
financing arrangements for the

1627
00:53:05,805 --> 00:53:08,205
other. Because we had

1628
00:53:10,430 --> 00:53:10,643
purchased in prior years. It

1629
00:53:10,643 --> 00:53:11,611
also covers Florida law

1630
00:53:11,611 --> 00:53:12,245
enforcement equipment such as

1631
00:53:12,245 --> 00:53:14,245
communications equipment,

1632
00:53:15,820 --> 00:53:17,482
drones in technology. These

1633
00:53:19,185 --> 00:53:19,886
investments officer mobility

1634
00:53:19,886 --> 00:53:22,286
situation where as long-term

1635
00:53:24,690 --> 00:53:25,391
departmental readiness.

1636
00:53:25,391 --> 00:53:27,791
Equipment comprises 4% of the

1637
00:53:28,461 --> 00:53:30,861
total budget. Impd general

1638
00:53:33,233 --> 00:53:33,967
increase by 107 1000 to

1639
00:53:33,967 --> 00:53:36,967
toughen shift from our federal

1640
00:53:38,872 --> 00:53:39,641
law enforcement funds. And the

1641
00:53:39,641 --> 00:53:41,410
$50,000 increase for the Crime

1642
00:53:41,410 --> 00:53:44,410
Guns Task Force Grant, which

1643
00:53:44,144 --> 00:53:45,245
is also part the general, the

1644
00:53:45,245 --> 00:53:47,181
state in federal grants

1645
00:53:47,181 --> 00:53:47,881
responsible for the remaining

1646
00:53:47,881 --> 00:53:49,881
increase of approximately 4.7

1647
00:53:50,384 --> 00:53:50,951
million. Our plan is to

1648
00:53:50,951 --> 00:53:52,951
purchase various law

1649
00:53:55,122 --> 00:53:55,856
enforcement law enforcement

1650
00:53:55,856 --> 00:53:56,623
and office equipment cover the

1651
00:53:56,623 --> 00:53:57,324
cruiser, finance payments,

1652
00:53:57,324 --> 00:53:59,324
communications equipment and

1653
00:54:01,228 --> 00:54:02,396
technology. It's important to

1654
00:54:02,396 --> 00:54:05,650
note that impd did submit a

1655
00:54:05,650 --> 00:54:06,934
request for new vehicles for

1656
00:54:06,934 --> 00:54:08,235
2027. Unfortunately due to the

1657
00:54:08,235 --> 00:54:08,869
number of requests that all of

1658
00:54:08,869 --> 00:54:09,603
them received. They were

1659
00:54:09,603 --> 00:54:13,203
unable to fund our request for

1660
00:54:13,907 --> 00:54:14,808
the vehicles. As mentioned

1661
00:54:14,808 --> 00:54:16,710
previously by the chief. Our

1662
00:54:16,710 --> 00:54:17,377
needs 300 vehicles per year in

1663
00:54:17,377 --> 00:54:20,480
an order spanned a safe and

1664
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:23,480
reliable fleet. As our just

1665
00:54:23,818 --> 00:54:26,153
maintenance and repairs become

1666
00:54:26,153 --> 00:54:26,821
more costly. Well, we are

1667
00:54:26,821 --> 00:54:27,522
grateful for the additional

1668
00:54:27,522 --> 00:54:29,230
funding this year to pay off

1669
00:54:29,230 --> 00:54:31,191
the 2021 financing early. We

1670
00:54:31,191 --> 00:54:31,792
will continue to request

1671
00:54:31,792 --> 00:54:33,792
additional funding for

1672
00:54:37,898 --> 00:54:38,498
vehicles. So fleet in occ

1673
00:54:38,498 --> 00:54:40,898
charge backs Office of

1674
00:54:46,474 --> 00:54:47,842
Corporation Counsel. Character

1675
00:54:47,842 --> 00:54:48,609
5 perversely in Church backs

1676
00:54:48,609 --> 00:54:49,243
which are essential to

1677
00:54:49,243 --> 00:54:51,243
maintaining reliable and

1678
00:54:52,512 --> 00:54:53,314
support police fleet. These

1679
00:54:53,314 --> 00:54:53,948
costs reflect core operations

1680
00:54:53,948 --> 00:54:55,115
services than a cervical,

1681
00:54:55,115 --> 00:54:55,817
think and are available,

1682
00:54:55,817 --> 00:54:58,817
maintain and ready for daily

1683
00:54:59,654 --> 00:55:00,455
deployments. There was an

1684
00:55:00,455 --> 00:55:02,455
increase of approximately

1685
00:55:04,225 --> 00:55:05,260
1 million, which is primarily

1686
00:55:05,260 --> 00:55:06,600
recharge facts, estimating an

1687
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,600
increase costs for fuel and

1688
00:55:11,466 --> 00:55:12,667
maintenance needs for 2027.

1689
00:55:12,667 --> 00:55:14,636
Happy to report. This is the

1690
00:55:14,636 --> 00:55:15,670
last slide. This is our budget

1691
00:55:15,670 --> 00:55:16,804
broken down by program area.

1692
00:55:16,804 --> 00:55:20,341
This is still very new process

1693
00:55:20,341 --> 00:55:21,509
for us. And we are taking each

1694
00:55:21,509 --> 00:55:23,440
year in trying to make numbers

1695
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:23,745
more accurate and more

1696
00:55:23,745 --> 00:55:26,745
transparent about what we are

1697
00:55:27,315 --> 00:55:29,715
funding the police department.

1698
00:55:31,519 --> 00:55:33,254
The 2027 the budget represents

1699
00:55:33,254 --> 00:55:34,689
the funding necessary to

1700
00:55:34,689 --> 00:55:36,391
sustain and strengthen law

1701
00:55:36,391 --> 00:55:37,910
enforcement operations across

1702
00:55:37,910 --> 00:55:37,726
Indianapolis. Well, just not

1703
00:55:37,726 --> 00:55:39,494
addressed every need. It

1704
00:55:39,494 --> 00:55:40,995
ensures impd remains

1705
00:55:40,995 --> 00:55:41,729
operational and equipped to

1706
00:55:41,729 --> 00:55:44,729
serve the growing this growing

1707
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:47,268
and dynamic city. That

1708
00:55:47,268 --> 00:55:47,969
concludes my portion of the

1709
00:55:47,969 --> 00:55:48,970
presentation and then turn it

1710
00:55:48,970 --> 00:55:49,637
back over to Chief Terri for

1711
00:55:49,637 --> 00:55:52,637
her comments. Thank you. Is

1712
00:55:53,641 --> 00:55:54,275
how should achieve. Thank you.

1713
00:55:54,275 --> 00:55:56,275
CHAIRMAN Robinson. Well,

1714
00:55:56,744 --> 00:55:57,912
before we open up for

1715
00:55:57,912 --> 00:55:58,581
questions, I want to address 2

1716
00:55:58,581 --> 00:56:00,949
topics that I know of in on

1717
00:56:00,949 --> 00:56:03,718
the minds of many of you. I

1718
00:56:03,718 --> 00:56:04,854
want to recognize the

1719
00:56:04,854 --> 00:56:05,553
emotional impact, the shooting

1720
00:56:05,553 --> 00:56:08,553
involving Dallas jet has had

1721
00:56:08,957 --> 00:56:10,860
on so many his family and

1722
00:56:10,860 --> 00:56:12,627
loved ones. Our officers and

1723
00:56:12,627 --> 00:56:15,270
their families. Our entire

1724
00:56:18,867 --> 00:56:21,737
agency, neighbors. And and so

1725
00:56:21,737 --> 00:56:22,770
many others in our community.

1726
00:56:22,770 --> 00:56:25,774
In this incident has had a

1727
00:56:25,774 --> 00:56:27,443
profound effect here. Any use

1728
00:56:27,443 --> 00:56:29,511
of force, especially deadly

1729
00:56:29,511 --> 00:56:32,511
force, weighs heavily on all

1730
00:56:32,815 --> 00:56:34,683
of us. And it's something we

1731
00:56:34,683 --> 00:56:38,587
all carry with That said, I do

1732
00:56:38,587 --> 00:56:39,154
want to clarify a few things

1733
00:56:39,154 --> 00:56:39,822
our community expects

1734
00:56:39,822 --> 00:56:41,757
information quickly within

1735
00:56:41,757 --> 00:56:42,892
hours of an incident

1736
00:56:42,892 --> 00:56:46,492
occurring. And we do our very

1737
00:56:48,300 --> 00:56:48,764
best to give them just that.

1738
00:56:48,764 --> 00:56:51,164
The alternative silence simply

1739
00:56:52,735 --> 00:56:54,870
not acceptable. It's what we

1740
00:56:54,870 --> 00:56:55,571
shared the night of the

1741
00:56:55,571 --> 00:56:56,272
incident was the information

1742
00:56:56,272 --> 00:56:57,730
that we had gathered at that

1743
00:56:57,730 --> 00:56:59,730
time.

1744
00:57:10,186 --> 00:57:12,288
You to finish chief. Was

1745
00:57:12,288 --> 00:57:14,523
preliminary and subject to

1746
00:57:14,523 --> 00:57:15,157
change. We say that for a

1747
00:57:15,157 --> 00:57:17,393
reason for every critical

1748
00:57:17,393 --> 00:57:18,600
incident briefing. The

1749
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:20,460
investigation had only just

1750
00:57:21,964 --> 00:57:23,666
begun. As that investigation

1751
00:57:23,666 --> 00:57:24,366
progressed, new information

1752
00:57:24,366 --> 00:57:27,366
was learned and new evidence

1753
00:57:38,214 --> 00:57:40,650
was uncovered. I bow. If you

1754
00:57:40,650 --> 00:57:41,383
want to in your statement, you

1755
00:57:41,383 --> 00:57:42,652
can spend it. I I'm sorry.

1756
00:57:42,652 --> 00:57:43,253
Sorry. If you want to fit your

1757
00:57:43,253 --> 00:57:46,253
state, you can enter a

1758
00:57:48,391 --> 00:57:51,391
statement I would really like

1759
00:57:52,996 --> 00:57:56,990
finish my say I bowed as chief

1760
00:57:56,990 --> 00:57:59,990
to be open and transparent

1761
00:57:59,870 --> 00:58:00,570
through the good and the I can

1762
00:58:00,570 --> 00:58:04,770
assure you it was not easy to

1763
00:58:05,876 --> 00:58:08,876
announce that one officer was

1764
00:58:08,879 --> 00:58:10,847
by a fellow officer. But it

1765
00:58:10,847 --> 00:58:15,470
was a true labor was the and

1766
00:58:16,386 --> 00:58:17,988
our community the truth. We

1767
00:58:17,988 --> 00:58:20,988
had 2 officers shot the one

1768
00:58:32,335 --> 00:58:33,603
officer. My fellow officer. Is

1769
00:58:33,603 --> 00:58:34,304
still extremely rap sheet. If

1770
00:58:34,304 --> 00:58:38,504
you if you don't have do, if

1771
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:44,648
you're speaking well, if you

1772
00:58:44,648 --> 00:58:45,849
want to stop your state, you

1773
00:58:45,849 --> 00:58:50,490
can stop that. We can move on

1774
00:58:51,555 --> 00:58:54,555

1775
00:58:56,426 --> 00:59:00,260

that you're the chair. It

1779
00:59:06,169 --> 00:59:07,904
should not be up to the chief.

She wants to give her

1781
00:59:08,605 --> 00:59:12,205

So that's got to please spread

1822
01:02:00,913 --> 01:02:03,849
out. Most of the room as well.

1823
01:02:03,849 --> 01:02:05,984
So so that they'd been worn.

01:02:48,528 --> 01:02:50,928
Thank you, CHAIRMAN. Pickup

1838
01:02:52,966 --> 01:02:54,567
where I left off. Which was I

1839
01:02:54,567 --> 01:02:55,236
vowed as chief to be open and

1840
01:02:55,236 --> 01:02:58,236
transparent in the good and

1841
01:02:59,500 --> 01:02:59,706
the bad. I can assure you is

1842
01:02:59,706 --> 01:03:02,900
not easy to announce that one

1843
01:03:02,900 --> 01:03:04,110
officer was shot by a fellow

1844
01:03:04,110 --> 01:03:04,844
officer, but it was the truth

1845
01:03:04,844 --> 01:03:07,844
and our community deserves the

1846
01:03:08,581 --> 01:03:09,716
truth. We had 2 officers shot

1847
01:03:09,716 --> 01:03:12,652
that night. Yes, one was shot

1848
01:03:12,652 --> 01:03:14,554
by a fellow officer but also

1849
01:03:14,554 --> 01:03:15,588
true based on the evidence

1850
01:03:15,588 --> 01:03:18,324
I've reviewed is that Dallas

1851
01:03:18,324 --> 01:03:21,324
jet shot an impd officer.

1852
01:04:17,218 --> 01:04:17,918
Deputies. Again, if you

1853
01:04:17,918 --> 01:04:19,587
haven't screamed got to come

1854
01:04:19,587 --> 01:04:21,155
out here. All right, chief,

1855
01:04:21,155 --> 01:04:23,555
thank you. Thank you.

1856
01:04:25,527 --> 01:04:27,194
CHAIRMAN. He made choices that

1857
01:04:27,194 --> 01:04:27,862
night and one of those choices

1858
01:04:27,862 --> 01:04:29,763
was the fire around that

1859
01:04:29,763 --> 01:04:31,932
struck an impd officer in the

1860
01:04:31,932 --> 01:04:32,600
chest. The evidence confirms

1861
01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:33,334
of the bullet lodged in the

1862
01:04:33,334 --> 01:04:35,903
officer's best came from Jets.

1863
01:04:35,903 --> 01:04:38,303
Gun. Thankfully the officers

1864
01:04:38,606 --> 01:04:39,239
ballistic vest saved his life

1865
01:04:39,239 --> 01:04:39,839
and both of our officers

1866
01:04:39,839 --> 01:04:42,839
continue on the road to

1867
01:04:44,144 --> 01:04:47,144
recovery. Also It also true

1868
01:05:03,532 --> 01:05:05,532
little Over

1869
01:05:07,668 --> 01:05:09,668
Thank you. Chief.

1870
01:05:12,106 --> 01:05:12,740
Thank you. CHAIRMAN. Also true

1871
01:05:12,740 --> 01:05:15,109
is that we have shown the

1872
01:05:15,109 --> 01:05:16,378
family, the unedited body-worn

1873
01:05:16,378 --> 01:05:18,120
camera footage from the

1874
01:05:18,120 --> 01:05:19,281
officers directly involved in

1875
01:05:19,281 --> 01:05:19,947
this incident during that

1876
01:05:19,947 --> 01:05:22,947
meeting we offered for the

1877
01:05:37,431 --> 01:05:40,431
family. All Deputy deputy has

1878
01:05:55,849 --> 01:06:00,490
to go. You have to go the

1879
01:06:07,620 --> 01:06:08,630
thank you. CHAIRMAN. So also

1880
01:06:08,630 --> 01:06:09,364
true is that we've shown the

1881
01:06:09,364 --> 01:06:09,965
family, the unedited body worn

1882
01:06:09,965 --> 01:06:11,466
camera footage from the

1883
01:06:11,466 --> 01:06:12,533
officers directly involved in

1884
01:06:12,533 --> 01:06:13,735
this incident during that

1885
01:06:13,735 --> 01:06:16,171
meeting we offered for the

1886
01:06:16,171 --> 01:06:16,805
family to view additional

1887
01:06:16,805 --> 01:06:17,472
unedited body worn camera

1888
01:06:17,472 --> 01:06:19,872
footage, but they declined

1889
01:06:20,542 --> 01:06:21,276
that offer that is what the

1890
01:06:21,276 --> 01:06:24,112
law requires. And that is what

1891
01:06:24,112 --> 01:06:24,813
we have done. Both the

1892
01:06:24,813 --> 01:06:26,115
administrative and criminal

1893
01:06:26,115 --> 01:06:28,115
investigations into this

1894
01:06:29,500 --> 01:06:30,819
incident are ongoing.

1895
01:06:30,819 --> 01:06:31,553
Therefore, we cannot release

1896
01:06:31,553 --> 01:06:34,122
all video footage and evidence

1897
01:06:34,122 --> 01:06:35,570
at this time. That is not

1898
01:06:35,570 --> 01:06:36,910
appropriate for this case to

1899
01:06:36,910 --> 01:06:39,629
be tried in the court of

1900
01:06:39,629 --> 01:06:40,362
public opinion. We must allow

1901
01:06:40,362 --> 01:06:42,630
the investigative processes to

1902
01:06:42,630 --> 01:06:44,399
do their job based only on

1903
01:06:44,399 --> 01:06:46,235
facts and evidence. We also

1904
01:06:46,235 --> 01:06:47,769
have been respecting the

1905
01:06:47,769 --> 01:06:48,471
family's wishes and are now

1906
01:06:48,471 --> 01:06:50,871
only communicating with them

1907
01:06:52,674 --> 01:06:53,842
through their attorney. I know

1908
01:06:53,842 --> 01:06:55,278
there has been an overwhelming

1909
01:06:55,278 --> 01:06:55,911
amount of misinformation

1910
01:06:55,911 --> 01:06:57,911
circulate circulating on

1911
01:06:58,680 --> 01:07:01,550
social media. Anyone can post

1912
01:07:01,550 --> 01:07:03,785
or say something online. But

1913
01:07:03,785 --> 01:07:05,688
impd is held to a higher

1914
01:07:05,688 --> 01:07:06,289
standard. Our community trusts

1915
01:07:06,289 --> 01:07:07,990
us to provide them with

1916
01:07:07,990 --> 01:07:09,158
accurate and timely

1917
01:07:09,158 --> 01:07:11,526
information. We don't go off

1918
01:07:11,526 --> 01:07:12,827
of rumors or speculation our

1919
01:07:12,827 --> 01:07:15,131
communications are based on

1920
01:07:15,131 --> 01:07:15,965
fact. And when new information

1921
01:07:15,965 --> 01:07:18,901
is learned, we will update

1922
01:07:18,901 --> 01:07:20,403
accordingly. That is our

1923
01:07:20,403 --> 01:07:20,903
commitment to truth.

1924
01:07:20,903 --> 01:07:22,903
Transparency and

1925
01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:25,675
accountability. Now, the

1926
01:07:25,675 --> 01:07:27,476
second topic I'd like to

1927
01:07:27,476 --> 01:07:28,476
address is immigration

1928
01:07:28,476 --> 01:07:30,476
enforcement. Our enforcement

1929
01:07:30,746 --> 01:07:32,616
posture has not changed, but I

1930
01:07:32,616 --> 01:07:34,170
do want to reiterate where we

1931
01:07:34,170 --> 01:07:35,518
stand given the understandable

1932
01:07:35,518 --> 01:07:37,918
fear and confusion throughout

1933
01:07:40,923 --> 01:07:41,591
our community. Impd is not

1934
01:07:41,591 --> 01:07:43,526
actively participating and

1935
01:07:43,526 --> 01:07:45,926
federal immigration sweeps nor

1936
01:07:47,864 --> 01:07:48,897
do we plan to. Impd works

1937
01:07:48,897 --> 01:07:49,564
closely with our federal

1938
01:07:49,564 --> 01:07:50,733
partners every day to hold

1939
01:07:50,733 --> 01:07:52,733
violent offenders accountable

1940
01:07:54,136 --> 01:07:54,805
and we remain committed to

1941
01:07:54,805 --> 01:07:57,807
following all up up like a

1942
01:07:57,807 --> 01:07:59,675
state and federal laws. But as

1943
01:07:59,675 --> 01:08:00,376
a local law enforcement

1944
01:08:00,376 --> 01:08:02,776
agency, our responsibility is

1945
01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:03,713
enforcing state laws and local

1946
01:08:03,713 --> 01:08:05,615
ordinances. We will continue

1947
01:08:05,615 --> 01:08:06,883
to allocate our staffing and

1948
01:08:06,883 --> 01:08:09,252
resources to serving our

1949
01:08:09,252 --> 01:08:09,886
community preventing crime and

1950
01:08:09,886 --> 01:08:11,886
holding violent offenders

1951
01:08:12,755 --> 01:08:13,890
accountable. Impd does not ask

1952
01:08:13,890 --> 01:08:15,890
about immigration status,

1953
01:08:17,660 --> 01:08:18,361
period. Victims and witnesses

1954
01:08:18,361 --> 01:08:20,596
should never hesitate to come

1955
01:08:20,596 --> 01:08:24,196
forward. If you need help or

1956
01:08:24,301 --> 01:08:27,360
are in danger, please call

1957
01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:27,905
9-1-1. We will respond to help

1958
01:08:27,905 --> 01:08:30,473
and assist because that is

1959
01:08:30,473 --> 01:08:32,709
what impd is all about. Our

1960
01:08:32,709 --> 01:08:34,709
mission remains clear.

1961
01:08:35,846 --> 01:08:36,413
Protecting our neighbors,

1962
01:08:36,413 --> 01:08:37,281
preventing crime and

1963
01:08:37,281 --> 01:08:39,549
strengthen trust in our

1964
01:08:39,549 --> 01:08:40,250
neighborhoods. Regardless of

1965
01:08:40,250 --> 01:08:42,250
immigration status, we're

1966
01:08:42,251 --> 01:08:44,651
committed to serving every

1967
01:08:44,887 --> 01:08:47,624
person who calls in the home.

1968
01:08:47,624 --> 01:08:49,592
Now, CHAIRMAN, I am ready to

1969
01:08:49,592 --> 01:08:50,259
answer questions. Thank you,

1970
01:08:50,259 --> 01:08:51,795
chief. Again, we will have

1971
01:08:51,795 --> 01:08:52,930
public testimony at the

1972
01:08:52,930 --> 01:08:53,664
conclusion of the committee

1973
01:08:53,664 --> 01:08:54,364
members questions, comments or

1974
01:08:54,364 --> 01:08:56,364
questions. Committee members

1975
01:08:59,268 --> 01:09:00,300
scary. Thank you, MR. Chair. I

1976
01:09:00,300 --> 01:09:03,300
understand we were to 10 hour

1977
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:03,707
shifts 40's week. I'm sure

1978
01:09:03,707 --> 01:09:06,107
housing effect or overtime

1979
01:09:11,380 --> 01:09:12,490
situation. I appreciate the

1980
01:09:12,490 --> 01:09:12,748
question a scary and it's a

1981
01:09:12,748 --> 01:09:15,148
difficult question to answer.

1982
01:09:15,351 --> 01:09:16,190
And we've done this pilot for

1983
01:09:16,190 --> 01:09:17,120
the past 8 months and over

1984
01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:17,853
time has increased. But our

1985
01:09:17,853 --> 01:09:19,890
staffing has also decreased at

1986
01:09:19,890 --> 01:09:20,624
the same time. So it's a

1987
01:09:20,624 --> 01:09:23,240
difficult thing to measure.

1988
01:09:23,427 --> 01:09:24,661
Our hope was that while we

1989
01:09:24,661 --> 01:09:26,897
were still going to require

1990
01:09:26,897 --> 01:09:28,999
overtime to fill staffing

1991
01:09:28,999 --> 01:09:31,301
shortages, the impact of the

1992
01:09:31,301 --> 01:09:32,469
individual officers are theory

1993
01:09:32,469 --> 01:09:33,170
is that it would be less

1994
01:09:33,170 --> 01:09:35,472
because they will be working

1995
01:09:35,472 --> 01:09:36,407
shorter amount of time with

1996
01:09:36,407 --> 01:09:39,407
the setup of the 10 hour

1997
01:09:40,770 --> 01:09:40,911
shifts and the 4 shifts with

1998
01:09:40,911 --> 01:09:42,579
some overlap. Our hope is that

1999
01:09:42,579 --> 01:09:43,280
those additional overtime

2000
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:45,282
shifts would either be on one

2001
01:09:45,282 --> 01:09:47,317
of the longer stretches of

2002
01:09:47,317 --> 01:09:48,151
days off were that it would be

2003
01:09:48,151 --> 01:09:50,530
in a shorter increment instead

2004
01:09:50,530 --> 01:09:52,230
of pulling a double shift of

2005
01:09:52,230 --> 01:09:52,957
17 hours that they MAY only

2006
01:09:52,957 --> 01:09:55,957
work for a five-hour extra

2007
01:09:58,595 --> 01:10:00,798
shift additionally they do,

2008
01:10:00,798 --> 01:10:02,199
it's not afford 4 on 4.10,

2009
01:10:02,199 --> 01:10:06,399
hour days in a row. It's it's

2010
01:10:07,500 --> 01:10:08,138
a rotating day schedule that

2011
01:10:08,138 --> 01:10:08,772
allows them up to 5 days off

2012
01:10:08,772 --> 01:10:10,875
in a row during different

2013
01:10:10,875 --> 01:10:11,676
periods of that rotation. And

2014
01:10:11,676 --> 01:10:12,376
I have heard direct feedback

2015
01:10:12,376 --> 01:10:15,376
from officers that have been

2016
01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:17,849
piloting that shift, that they

2017
01:10:17,849 --> 01:10:19,583
do feel more refreshed when

2018
01:10:19,583 --> 01:10:21,686
they come back to work from

2019
01:10:21,686 --> 01:10:22,386
those absences. And in some

2020
01:10:22,386 --> 01:10:23,288
cases, said that they've been

2021
01:10:23,288 --> 01:10:24,555
very excited to return to work

2022
01:10:24,555 --> 01:10:26,560
at the end of their days off.

2023
01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:28,456
Thank Thank you. Cars,

2024
01:10:31,396 --> 01:10:33,796
apartments. Thank you, MISTER

2025
01:10:34,132 --> 01:10:34,698
CHAIRMAN. Thank you. Chief see

2026
01:10:34,698 --> 01:10:37,698
a full Hall for your

2027
01:10:37,834 --> 01:10:39,834
presentation this evening.

2028
01:10:39,937 --> 01:10:41,105
MISTER CHAIRMAN. I have

2029
01:10:41,105 --> 01:10:43,440
several questions. And so I'm

2030
01:10:43,440 --> 01:10:44,475
going to be sensitive to not

2031
01:10:44,475 --> 01:10:47,111
only my colleagues here, but

2032
01:10:47,111 --> 01:10:50,150
also for the community that we

2033
01:10:50,150 --> 01:10:50,915
would love to hear your And so

2034
01:10:50,915 --> 01:10:54,184
Chief, I'm gonna ask you to

2035
01:10:54,184 --> 01:10:54,852
the best of ability to make

2036
01:10:54,852 --> 01:10:57,852
your responses a short and

2037
01:10:59,123 --> 01:10:59,991
direct as possible. I'll stop

2038
01:10:59,991 --> 01:11:03,591
my mice by making a statement.

2039
01:11:03,761 --> 01:11:04,462
I I hold true. The tension,

2040
01:11:04,462 --> 01:11:08,620
the emotions that are in this

2041
01:11:09,901 --> 01:11:13,203
room. I hold true that while

2042
01:11:13,203 --> 01:11:15,603
we recognize that your

2043
01:11:15,874 --> 01:11:17,575
officers, your department show

2044
01:11:17,575 --> 01:11:20,110
up in some of the most

2045
01:11:20,110 --> 01:11:20,945
difficult times that I can

2046
01:11:20,945 --> 01:11:23,345
imagine that your officers

2047
01:11:24,282 --> 01:11:24,883
leave home every morning every

2048
01:11:24,883 --> 01:11:27,283
afternoon with a prayer

2049
01:11:28,887 --> 01:11:29,587
returning back home safe. We

2050
01:11:29,587 --> 01:11:33,240
also hold true that there's a

2051
01:11:33,240 --> 01:11:33,892
community that's hurting. And

2052
01:11:33,892 --> 01:11:36,292
I believe strongly that 2

2053
01:11:37,610 --> 01:11:39,832
things can be true. We can

2054
01:11:39,832 --> 01:11:40,765
celebrate the work of the

2055
01:11:40,765 --> 01:11:42,765
officers. We're supportive.

2056
01:11:43,435 --> 01:11:44,369
And you mention in your

2057
01:11:44,369 --> 01:11:45,690
presentation, the

2058
01:11:45,690 --> 01:11:46,938
administration has been

2059
01:11:46,938 --> 01:11:49,338
supported. This council has

2060
01:11:49,775 --> 01:11:50,743
been supportive by approve in

2061
01:11:50,743 --> 01:11:52,450
the budget of the sense of

2062
01:11:52,450 --> 01:11:52,878
been sitting near this

2063
01:11:52,878 --> 01:11:55,278
increased the last 3 years

2064
01:11:56,748 --> 01:12:00,180
that I've been here, the impd

2065
01:12:00,180 --> 01:12:01,200
reflects almost 25% off the

2066
01:12:01,200 --> 01:12:04,523
budget for the entire and a

2067
01:12:04,523 --> 01:12:07,159
price. 25%. And so we can hold

2068
01:12:07,159 --> 01:12:08,360
that true. But we can also

2069
01:12:08,360 --> 01:12:10,396
hold true that we have

2070
01:12:10,396 --> 01:12:12,198
situations around flock

2071
01:12:12,198 --> 01:12:14,433
cameras around police involved

2072
01:12:14,433 --> 01:12:17,169
shootings are on ice raid that

2073
01:12:17,169 --> 01:12:19,271
the same level off passion is

2074
01:12:19,271 --> 01:12:21,907
conveyed in those moments. And

2075
01:12:21,907 --> 01:12:24,743
I think what we're missing is

2076
01:12:24,743 --> 01:12:25,644
that we celebrate on one and

2077
01:12:25,644 --> 01:12:26,378
what we don't come out with

2078
01:12:26,378 --> 01:12:28,280
the same level of passion when

2079
01:12:28,280 --> 01:12:29,815
you have a community that's

2080
01:12:29,815 --> 01:12:31,917
hurting and that you might

2081
01:12:31,917 --> 01:12:34,253
have some officers, not all

2082
01:12:34,253 --> 01:12:35,788
officers. Well, you might have

2083
01:12:35,788 --> 01:12:36,689
some bad Apple within the

2084
01:12:36,689 --> 01:12:39,689
department. And so chief, I

2085
01:12:39,792 --> 01:12:41,126
want to encourage you. So

2086
01:12:41,126 --> 01:12:41,927
consider that as a part of

2087
01:12:41,927 --> 01:12:43,829
your leadership that that's

2088
01:12:43,829 --> 01:12:45,798
what the community is looking

2089
01:12:45,798 --> 01:12:46,465
for. Right? If something goes

2090
01:12:46,465 --> 01:12:50,650
wrong that we need to hear

2091
01:12:51,170 --> 01:12:52,671
that. And so I want to I want

2092
01:12:52,671 --> 01:12:53,305
to start with that that that

2093
01:12:53,305 --> 01:12:56,305
statement. Let me ask my

2094
01:12:57,843 --> 01:12:58,577
questions. Does this

2095
01:12:58,577 --> 01:13:00,577
particular proposed budget

2096
01:13:01,580 --> 01:13:03,349
reflect the full projected

2097
01:13:03,349 --> 01:13:04,917
scope of impd operations,

2098
01:13:04,917 --> 01:13:07,317
personal and public safety

2099
01:13:08,255 --> 01:13:09,855
needs for 2027, specifically.

2100
01:13:09,855 --> 01:13:12,255
Was this department instructed

2101
01:13:12,424 --> 01:13:13,927
to leave any anticipated

2102
01:13:13,927 --> 01:13:16,327
expenses, our resources needs

2103
01:13:17,163 --> 01:13:19,132
out of this budget with the

2104
01:13:19,132 --> 01:13:19,999
expectation that those need

2105
01:13:19,999 --> 01:13:21,660
will be addressed later

2106
01:13:21,660 --> 01:13:24,666
through either the fall on the

2107
01:13:24,770 --> 01:13:25,305
spin or the spring. Fiscal are

2108
01:13:25,305 --> 01:13:27,305
not a supplemental

2109
01:13:34,380 --> 01:13:36,380
appropriation. Anything that's

2110
01:13:47,194 --> 01:13:50,194
on. So counselor, thank you.

2111
01:13:50,897 --> 01:13:52,933
And I acknowledge the call for

2112
01:13:52,933 --> 01:13:53,567
transparency and

2113
01:13:53,567 --> 01:13:55,567
accountability and equal

2114
01:13:57,604 --> 01:14:00,604
levels of passion through all

2115
01:14:02,943 --> 01:14:04,100
both celebratory and through

2116
01:14:04,100 --> 01:14:05,845
tracked tragedy and challenges

2117
01:14:05,845 --> 01:14:06,546
that both our agency and our

2118
01:14:06,546 --> 01:14:07,314
community is experiencing. So

2119
01:14:07,314 --> 01:14:09,716
thank you for those comments.

2120
01:14:09,716 --> 01:14:11,952
As far as your question about

2121
01:14:11,952 --> 01:14:13,987
the budget, we were not

2122
01:14:13,987 --> 01:14:14,955
instructed to leave anything

2123
01:14:14,955 --> 01:14:17,955
out. We did make budget

2124
01:14:19,920 --> 01:14:20,293
requests to let them based on

2125
01:14:20,293 --> 01:14:23,293
our anticipated needs. And I

2126
01:14:23,763 --> 01:14:24,798
know that cfo Hall did mention

2127
01:14:24,798 --> 01:14:25,432
that. Not all of those

2128
01:14:25,432 --> 01:14:27,868
requests were able to be

2129
01:14:27,868 --> 01:14:28,802
fulfilled a fam, but there's

2130
01:14:28,802 --> 01:14:30,300
not been any specific

2131
01:14:30,300 --> 01:14:30,637
conversations about future

2132
01:14:30,637 --> 01:14:32,505
plans to come back to the

2133
01:14:32,505 --> 01:14:34,976
council and ask for more

2134
01:14:34,976 --> 01:14:36,976
appropriations and others.

2135
01:14:37,711 --> 01:14:39,312
Schools. I know that the bond

2136
01:14:39,312 --> 01:14:41,181
bank decision regarding North

2137
01:14:41,181 --> 01:14:43,830
District is still a separate

2138
01:14:43,830 --> 01:14:45,830
conversation alongside the

2139
01:14:45,952 --> 01:14:48,540
budget. And I know that we

2140
01:14:48,540 --> 01:14:50,523
continue. We will continue to

2141
01:14:50,523 --> 01:14:52,626
work with all them. And the

2142
01:14:52,626 --> 01:14:54,662
council because the needs of

2143
01:14:54,662 --> 01:14:55,329
the fleet have not been fully

2144
01:14:55,329 --> 01:14:56,620
fulfilled. We've been very

2145
01:14:56,620 --> 01:14:59,620
transparent about that. But we

2146
01:15:00,768 --> 01:15:01,669
did make the request the other

2147
01:15:01,669 --> 01:15:02,869
question that still

2148
01:15:02,869 --> 01:15:05,872
outstanding is that we do have

2149
01:15:05,872 --> 01:15:07,141
a collective bargaining

2150
01:15:07,141 --> 01:15:07,808
agreement that is just that

2151
01:15:07,808 --> 01:15:09,808
we're starting negotiations

2152
01:15:12,579 --> 01:15:14,150
for our park Rangers, thank

2153
01:15:14,150 --> 01:15:14,615
MR. To make this of those who

2154
01:15:14,615 --> 01:15:15,483
want to. Thank you, MR.

2155
01:15:15,483 --> 01:15:18,483
CHAIRMAN for that for the

2156
01:15:19,587 --> 01:15:20,988
flexibility the spring fiscal

2157
01:15:20,988 --> 01:15:23,988
allow you to purchase 180 new

2158
01:15:25,260 --> 01:15:26,594
vehicles. Does the department

2159
01:15:26,594 --> 01:15:28,362
currently have any new

2160
01:15:28,362 --> 01:15:29,630
vehicles that I've been

2161
01:15:29,630 --> 01:15:32,663
purchase but are not yet in

2162
01:15:34,202 --> 01:15:37,710
service. We do have some

2163
01:15:37,710 --> 01:15:38,339
vehicles that are still in the

2164
01:15:38,339 --> 01:15:41,420
process of being outfitted by

2165
01:15:41,420 --> 01:15:41,809
and by that, I mean, having

2166
01:15:41,809 --> 01:15:44,209
the protective cages, the

2167
01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:46,915
emergency lights, the proper

2168
01:15:46,915 --> 01:15:48,150
storage. We do have some

2169
01:15:48,150 --> 01:15:48,849
vehicles that have not been

2170
01:15:48,849 --> 01:15:50,719
issued, but that are in our

2171
01:15:50,719 --> 01:15:53,119
fleet because they're still

2172
01:15:53,621 --> 01:15:55,790
being outbid and those are not

2173
01:15:55,790 --> 01:15:56,557
included in 180, that you are

2174
01:15:56,557 --> 01:15:57,725
proved to purchase. You know,

2175
01:15:57,725 --> 01:16:01,325
we have not made a purchase

2176
01:16:01,429 --> 01:16:04,365
yet with that money that was

2177
01:16:04,365 --> 01:16:05,990
freed up by paying off our

2178
01:16:05,990 --> 01:16:07,301
installment early as matter of

2179
01:16:07,301 --> 01:16:08,350
fact. Let me w Chief

2180
01:16:08,350 --> 01:16:10,504
Weddington when we think we're

2181
01:16:10,504 --> 01:16:11,205
going to make those purchases.

2182
01:16:11,205 --> 01:16:14,342
And while the deputy chief is

2183
01:16:14,342 --> 01:16:15,409
coming as well, how many

2184
01:16:15,409 --> 01:16:16,143
vehicles that you have park

2185
01:16:16,143 --> 01:16:20,343
that are not be news right now

2186
01:16:30,492 --> 01:16:33,492
that are brand new vehicles.

2187
01:16:45,730 --> 01:16:48,673
We can't make the purchase for

2188
01:16:49,411 --> 01:16:51,811
the new vehicles. The 180

2189
01:16:52,147 --> 01:16:54,249
projected purchased until the

2190
01:16:54,249 --> 01:16:54,917
budgets approved. Understood.

2191
01:16:54,917 --> 01:16:55,617
I was a question about new

2192
01:16:55,617 --> 01:16:57,286
vehicles that are not be news

2193
01:16:57,286 --> 01:16:59,488
right now and that I've been

2194
01:16:59,488 --> 01:17:02,424
that that I sit in the parking

2195
01:17:02,424 --> 01:17:04,793
lot waiting to be outfitted

2196
01:17:04,793 --> 01:17:05,861
for use I don't have that

2197
01:17:05,861 --> 01:17:06,829
statistic or that number on

2198
01:17:06,829 --> 01:17:08,498
hand. And I'm happy to provide

2199
01:17:08,498 --> 01:17:11,633
that to you on a follow-up

2200
01:17:11,633 --> 01:17:12,301
contact. Thank you that we

2201
01:17:12,301 --> 01:17:14,701
very helpful, MR. CHAIRMAN

2202
01:17:14,703 --> 01:17:17,703
level of flexibility. One more

2203
01:17:19,741 --> 01:17:20,976
council one more one

2204
01:17:20,976 --> 01:17:22,144
currently, you're reporting a

2205
01:17:22,144 --> 01:17:22,711
20% vacancy and so on

2206
01:17:22,711 --> 01:17:25,111
officers, that is the

2207
01:17:27,482 --> 01:17:28,183
difference between one 1743.

2208
01:17:28,183 --> 01:17:29,117
And then the number officers

2209
01:17:29,117 --> 01:17:32,117
that you have, that's a 20%.

2210
01:17:33,555 --> 01:17:35,955
Plus. A 23% vacancy in

2211
01:17:39,394 --> 01:17:42,164
staffing. In terms of average

2212
01:17:42,164 --> 01:17:43,131
annual costs. How much does is

2213
01:17:43,131 --> 01:17:46,131
it budgeted for a sworn

2214
01:17:46,836 --> 01:17:48,204
officer within your budget?

2215
01:17:48,204 --> 01:17:49,238
And I think our cfo prepared

2216
01:17:49,238 --> 01:17:49,906
for that question. Yes. So

2217
01:17:49,906 --> 01:17:53,506
will we'll turn it over to

2218
01:17:57,446 --> 01:17:58,915
her. Yeah, we budget for the

2219
01:17:58,915 --> 01:17:59,548
whole 17. 43 now for the

2220
01:17:59,548 --> 01:18:01,149
vacancies. Some of those

2221
01:18:01,149 --> 01:18:03,850
positions that are going to be

2222
01:18:03,850 --> 01:18:06,685
used to fund over time. Our

2223
01:18:07,624 --> 01:18:08,725
budget at a lower. Amount. I

2224
01:18:08,725 --> 01:18:10,425
know you budgeted for 73. We

2225
01:18:10,425 --> 01:18:12,328
approve the budget. The

2226
01:18:12,328 --> 01:18:15,365
question is what is the per

2227
01:18:15,365 --> 01:18:18,234
person cost in terms of budget

2228
01:18:18,234 --> 01:18:18,935
130,000 130,000? Yes. So I

2229
01:18:18,935 --> 01:18:20,403
want the community here this

2230
01:18:20,403 --> 01:18:23,403
that's the apples average cost

2231
01:18:23,806 --> 01:18:27,406
for a budget done. I average

2232
01:18:30,460 --> 01:18:30,680
cost of 130,000 times 360.

2233
01:18:30,680 --> 01:18:32,680
That's almost 40 million

2234
01:18:37,987 --> 01:18:40,387
dollars. That you department

2235
01:18:40,957 --> 01:18:42,191
And what I heard you say. That

2236
01:18:42,191 --> 01:18:46,296
we have spend all of that in

2237
01:18:46,296 --> 01:18:49,232
overtime, at least a 2026, not

2238
01:18:49,232 --> 01:18:50,567
100%, not 136 of those 300

2239
01:18:50,567 --> 01:18:53,567
positions will be new recruits

2240
01:18:54,470 --> 01:18:56,870
hired in 2027 in 2027. So

2241
01:18:57,607 --> 01:18:59,409
around 220 of those positions

2242
01:18:59,409 --> 01:19:00,310
are going to find overtime for

2243
01:19:00,310 --> 01:19:02,710
staffing shortages. But that

2244
01:19:04,515 --> 01:19:05,114
they'll fall 2027 budget. So

2245
01:19:05,114 --> 01:19:07,418
they will fall. The new

2246
01:19:07,418 --> 01:19:09,418
recruits of fallen 2027.

2247
01:19:11,254 --> 01:19:11,854
Correct? Okay. So the 2026 you

2248
01:19:11,854 --> 01:19:13,854
have almost 40 million

2249
01:19:16,859 --> 01:19:19,262
dollars. That impd is saying

2250
01:19:19,262 --> 01:19:20,663
that you use in 2 wars over

2251
01:19:20,663 --> 01:19:21,397
time and what we have seen at

2252
01:19:21,397 --> 01:19:24,997
least since I've been here for

2253
01:19:25,535 --> 01:19:26,169
the last 3 years an increase

2254
01:19:26,169 --> 01:19:28,939
in your budget request in

2255
01:19:28,939 --> 01:19:31,307
Carrick to one over the 3

2256
01:19:31,307 --> 01:19:34,307
years and the rationale being

2257
01:19:34,378 --> 01:19:35,678
the cba, the increasing costs.

2258
01:19:35,678 --> 01:19:37,414
And I heard the chief said

2259
01:19:37,414 --> 01:19:39,315
that the reason behind this,

2260
01:19:39,315 --> 01:19:42,315
it helps recruit support. But

2261
01:19:45,890 --> 01:19:46,489
yet we're still 20% vacancy.

2262
01:19:46,489 --> 01:19:49,920
And there's a slush fund with

2263
01:19:49,920 --> 01:19:51,492
an impd almost 40 million

2264
01:19:59,136 --> 01:20:00,104
dollars. It's not time. Very

2265
01:20:00,104 --> 01:20:01,939
closely with all of them to

2266
01:20:01,939 --> 01:20:04,339
monitor our character. One

2267
01:20:04,375 --> 01:20:05,910
spends the council receives

2268
01:20:05,910 --> 01:20:06,577
monthly reports on are spent

2269
01:20:06,577 --> 01:20:08,450
as well. That outlines what

2270
01:20:08,450 --> 01:20:10,470
we're spending in character.

2271
01:20:10,470 --> 01:20:10,614
One, the funding is used to

2272
01:20:10,614 --> 01:20:12,614
support our full-time

2273
01:20:12,950 --> 01:20:15,350
personnel to fill vacancies

2274
01:20:15,986 --> 01:20:17,187
and whatever's left covers

2275
01:20:17,187 --> 01:20:18,489
over time. Keep in mind we

2276
01:20:18,489 --> 01:20:20,889
have officers retiring that

2277
01:20:22,192 --> 01:20:23,460
kit. Large payouts to so there

2278
01:20:23,460 --> 01:20:26,730
are a lot of factors involved

2279
01:20:26,730 --> 01:20:28,699
with that 40 million and

2280
01:20:28,699 --> 01:20:31,990
attrition is subtracted as

2281
01:20:31,869 --> 01:20:33,137
well. So what we do is we work

2282
01:20:33,137 --> 01:20:33,838
closely with all them to

2283
01:20:33,838 --> 01:20:36,707
determine what amount we need

2284
01:20:36,707 --> 01:20:38,750
based on trends and what we're

2285
01:20:38,750 --> 01:20:40,878
trending in actual expenses to

2286
01:20:40,878 --> 01:20:43,470
budget for the following year.

2287
01:20:43,470 --> 01:20:43,681
Thank you. Final final

2288
01:20:43,681 --> 01:20:46,810
statement and a question.

2289
01:20:46,217 --> 01:20:46,884
MISTER Chair. Thank you.

2290
01:20:46,884 --> 01:20:48,419
Council statement once the

2291
01:20:48,419 --> 01:20:50,588
statement we're clear about

2292
01:20:50,588 --> 01:20:52,423
budgeted, you gave me average

2293
01:20:52,423 --> 01:20:53,624
costs, which means that their

2294
01:20:53,624 --> 01:20:56,527
officers that are making less

2295
01:20:56,527 --> 01:20:57,729
than 100,130 1000 miles, while

2296
01:20:57,729 --> 01:20:58,362
the others that are making

2297
01:20:58,362 --> 01:21:01,362
more its average parts of

2298
01:21:02,366 --> 01:21:03,000
south. I I just my statement.

2299
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:06,000
But the point I'm really

2300
01:21:07,720 --> 01:21:09,600
trying to make it is right. We

2301
01:21:09,600 --> 01:21:09,740
oftentimes get question about

2302
01:21:09,740 --> 01:21:10,342
our support for the department

2303
01:21:10,342 --> 01:21:12,742
because we question the

2304
01:21:13,178 --> 01:21:15,780
budget. And hoping that this

2305
01:21:15,780 --> 01:21:18,148
year that's not the case. What

2306
01:21:18,148 --> 01:21:20,484
we're saying, what I'm saying

2307
01:21:20,484 --> 01:21:21,519
is that we fully support the

2308
01:21:21,519 --> 01:21:23,854
department, but we need the

2309
01:21:23,854 --> 01:21:26,254
department to be accountable

2310
01:21:26,957 --> 01:21:28,126
as well. This is 25% of the

2311
01:21:28,126 --> 01:21:30,327
overall budget for the

2312
01:21:30,327 --> 01:21:30,996
enterprise that goes impd.

2313
01:21:30,996 --> 01:21:33,396
That's some real questions

2314
01:21:33,465 --> 01:21:37,650
about. How much we spend in

2315
01:21:37,168 --> 01:21:39,538
overtime. And how much the

2316
01:21:39,538 --> 01:21:42,774
impd the department has in a

2317
01:21:42,774 --> 01:21:43,441
pocket of money. That is set

2318
01:21:43,441 --> 01:21:45,577
aside that we don't get to

2319
01:21:45,577 --> 01:21:48,577
decide on that. Because this

2320
01:21:49,848 --> 01:21:52,848
council did not agree. And

2321
01:21:52,851 --> 01:21:53,585
signed off on You between the

2322
01:21:53,585 --> 01:21:55,820
union and the enterprise. That

2323
01:21:55,820 --> 01:21:57,756
was so the mayor's office. We

2324
01:21:57,756 --> 01:21:59,457
did not lock in that 17. 43

2325
01:21:59,457 --> 01:22:01,159
number, right? That was

2326
01:22:01,159 --> 01:22:03,461
dictated to us that we have to

2327
01:22:03,461 --> 01:22:06,461
fund that. But what's embedded

2328
01:22:06,698 --> 01:22:07,666
in that almost 40 million

2329
01:22:07,666 --> 01:22:09,634
dollars. The department has

2330
01:22:09,634 --> 01:22:10,735
force folks ability. Thank

2331
01:22:10,735 --> 01:22:11,603
you. As the council pres will

2332
01:22:11,603 --> 01:22:12,204
come back to you when come

2333
01:22:12,204 --> 01:22:12,871
back later, comments or

2334
01:22:12,871 --> 01:22:14,871
questions counselors. Comes

2335
01:22:18,276 --> 01:22:19,244
around. They MARCH air for the

2336
01:22:19,244 --> 01:22:22,113
opportunity to sit in. And

2337
01:22:22,113 --> 01:22:23,140
thank you, Chief Gary, for

2338
01:22:23,140 --> 01:22:23,715
your presentation. I first

2339
01:22:23,715 --> 01:22:25,651
just wanted to make a

2340
01:22:25,651 --> 01:22:26,351
statement my own about Dallas

2341
01:22:26,351 --> 01:22:28,751
jet. Appreciate your comments

2342
01:22:30,423 --> 01:22:33,359
here tonight. Chief. And I do

2343
01:22:33,359 --> 01:22:33,892
have to say You mentioned

2344
01:22:33,892 --> 01:22:34,392
swearing to uphold

2345
01:22:34,392 --> 01:22:35,600
transparency and

2346
01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:37,460
accountability. And I think

2347
01:22:39,631 --> 01:22:40,365
you failed at that quite And,

2348
01:22:40,365 --> 01:22:41,670
you know, the strategic plan

2349
01:22:41,670 --> 01:22:41,767
called for community

2350
01:22:41,767 --> 01:22:43,703
partnership. But I think that

2351
01:22:43,703 --> 01:22:44,936
has been a failure as well.

2352
01:22:44,936 --> 01:22:45,537
You know, yes, people were

2353
01:22:45,537 --> 01:22:46,205
disruptive here. People

2354
01:22:46,205 --> 01:22:48,240
interrupted you when you're

2355
01:22:48,240 --> 01:22:51,209
speaking and I regret that.

2356
01:22:51,209 --> 01:22:52,277
But I think the reason anyone

2357
01:22:52,277 --> 01:22:53,120
have to people here are here

2358
01:22:53,120 --> 01:22:54,130
tonight is not because they're

2359
01:22:54,130 --> 01:22:55,547
actually concerned about the

2360
01:22:55,547 --> 01:22:56,820
budget. It's because they've

2361
01:22:56,820 --> 01:22:57,483
been looking for an

2362
01:22:57,483 --> 01:22:59,785
opportunity to talk about this

2363
01:22:59,785 --> 01:23:01,754
very a heartfelt issue where a

2364
01:23:01,754 --> 01:23:02,455
young black man was shot 9

2365
01:23:02,455 --> 01:23:05,292
times in the back. Apparently

2366
01:23:05,292 --> 01:23:06,792
while he was running away and

2367
01:23:06,792 --> 01:23:07,493
because that has not been

2368
01:23:07,493 --> 01:23:09,893
acknowledged or talked about

2369
01:23:12,431 --> 01:23:13,866
in public. Motions got a

2370
01:23:13,866 --> 01:23:14,734
little high and they've got a

2371
01:23:14,734 --> 01:23:15,368
very difficult to sit, still

2372
01:23:15,368 --> 01:23:18,700
waiting for their turn to

2373
01:23:18,700 --> 01:23:18,738
speak. And so I just wanted to

2374
01:23:18,738 --> 01:23:21,738
dross all into that reality

2375
01:23:24,644 --> 01:23:25,278
before before moving on.

2376
01:23:25,278 --> 01:23:25,912
Council Perkins for some

2377
01:23:25,912 --> 01:23:27,280
excellent comments. And I

2378
01:23:27,280 --> 01:23:29,615
would agree with a lot of

2379
01:23:29,615 --> 01:23:30,650
those. I wanted to first have

2380
01:23:30,650 --> 01:23:33,650
a line of questioning about

2381
01:23:34,153 --> 01:23:34,887
flock. Flock cameras. Yeah. I

2382
01:23:34,887 --> 01:23:37,823
noticed the very large federal

2383
01:23:37,823 --> 01:23:38,758
grants and the budget this

2384
01:23:38,758 --> 01:23:39,458
year. You know, I I've known

2385
01:23:39,458 --> 01:23:41,227
that for a few years. You've

2386
01:23:41,227 --> 01:23:43,296
mentioned the real time crime

2387
01:23:43,296 --> 01:23:44,130
center. Silly me. It was until

2388
01:23:44,130 --> 01:23:44,830
this because actually Google

2389
01:23:44,830 --> 01:23:46,666
that phrase and realize that

2390
01:23:46,666 --> 01:23:49,702
is a product sold by flock.

2391
01:23:49,702 --> 01:23:50,404
And so I wanted to know is are

2392
01:23:50,404 --> 01:23:53,406
we paying for the flock? Real

2393
01:23:53,406 --> 01:23:55,806
time crime center software

2394
01:23:56,309 --> 01:23:58,244
products. You in character 3

2395
01:23:58,244 --> 01:23:59,412
funding. We talked about new

2396
01:23:59,412 --> 01:24:00,146
software licenses. You know,

2397
01:24:00,146 --> 01:24:03,490
can you describe what the real

2398
01:24:03,490 --> 01:24:03,749
time crime center is? I guess

2399
01:24:03,749 --> 01:24:06,520
know our our real time crime

2400
01:24:06,520 --> 01:24:09,652
center is not a flock product.

2401
01:24:10,790 --> 01:24:14,390
Real real time crime center is

2402
01:24:14,560 --> 01:24:15,394
dedicated staff out at Rock

2403
01:24:15,394 --> 01:24:17,296
facility where we have

2404
01:24:17,296 --> 01:24:19,696
analysts and vetted alongside

2405
01:24:21,267 --> 01:24:22,703
our sworn officers. They also

2406
01:24:22,703 --> 01:24:25,703
have access to multitude of

2407
01:24:26,807 --> 01:24:28,876
our police systems to try to

2408
01:24:28,876 --> 01:24:30,776
monitor and gather real-time

2409
01:24:30,776 --> 01:24:31,478
intelligence, the relay that

2410
01:24:31,478 --> 01:24:32,120
information to officers that

2411
01:24:32,120 --> 01:24:33,180
are in the field or

2412
01:24:33,180 --> 01:24:36,180
investigators that are in the

2413
01:24:37,951 --> 01:24:38,652
field to try to either prevent

2414
01:24:38,652 --> 01:24:41,188
mitigate or impact crime that

2415
01:24:41,188 --> 01:24:41,822
is taking place in real time.

2416
01:24:41,822 --> 01:24:42,956
Hence the real time crime

2417
01:24:42,956 --> 01:24:45,356
center name. I appreciate

2418
01:24:49,763 --> 01:24:50,364
that. Thank you. In terms of

2419
01:24:50,364 --> 01:24:51,640
the audits, I know your

2420
01:24:51,640 --> 01:24:52,766
presence of Chief Bailey had

2421
01:24:52,766 --> 01:24:54,635
encouraged me to talk directly

2422
01:24:54,635 --> 01:24:55,302
with the flock government

2423
01:24:55,302 --> 01:24:57,704
affairs, folks. What I had

2424
01:24:57,704 --> 01:24:59,806
similar concerns last year and

2425
01:24:59,806 --> 01:25:02,900
Cameron Simmons, the chief.

2426
01:25:02,900 --> 01:25:04,900
Government relations percent

2427
01:25:05,450 --> 01:25:05,846
lock. Let me know that they

2428
01:25:05,846 --> 01:25:06,547
had been routinely telling law

2429
01:25:06,547 --> 01:25:08,181
enforcement that the biggest

2430
01:25:08,181 --> 01:25:10,250
threat when using this

2431
01:25:10,250 --> 01:25:11,518
technology was a lack of

2432
01:25:11,518 --> 01:25:13,918
audits. And so conversations

2433
01:25:14,688 --> 01:25:15,389
with Chief Bailey at the time,

2434
01:25:15,389 --> 01:25:17,190
you know, I indicated what I

2435
01:25:17,190 --> 01:25:18,258
heard from Cameron, which was,

2436
01:25:18,258 --> 01:25:20,930
you know, although some

2437
01:25:20,930 --> 01:25:20,794
departments audit every single

2438
01:25:20,794 --> 01:25:24,394
use of alp ours every single

2439
01:25:25,650 --> 01:25:25,799
day. This they found that most

2440
01:25:25,799 --> 01:25:26,533
departments were auditing

2441
01:25:26,533 --> 01:25:29,369
every single use available ERs

2442
01:25:29,369 --> 01:25:31,405
every quarter. Based on the

2443
01:25:31,405 --> 01:25:32,573
fact that the officer that you

2444
01:25:32,573 --> 01:25:34,573
recommended for termination

2445
01:25:36,476 --> 01:25:37,377
and for potential lawsuits,

2446
01:25:37,377 --> 01:25:38,545
access cameras, according

2447
01:25:38,545 --> 01:25:40,140
washing post 3800 times over

2448
01:25:40,140 --> 01:25:41,114
the course of 10 months. It

2449
01:25:41,114 --> 01:25:43,514
seems clear quarterly auditing

2450
01:25:43,784 --> 01:25:44,851
has not been happening. So can

2451
01:25:44,851 --> 01:25:46,353
you give as many details as

2452
01:25:46,353 --> 01:25:47,388
you can about what that audit

2453
01:25:47,388 --> 01:25:48,890
process looks like? Looks like

2454
01:25:48,890 --> 01:25:49,523
a year ago when I first asked

2455
01:25:49,523 --> 01:25:50,258
questions about it and then

2456
01:25:50,258 --> 01:25:53,858
what it looks like today under

2457
01:25:56,330 --> 01:25:57,497
the new policy. Sure. Thank

2458
01:25:57,497 --> 01:25:58,633
you, counselor. The auditing

2459
01:25:58,633 --> 01:26:01,633
process as I've mentioned, is

2460
01:26:02,237 --> 01:26:02,971
ongoing in underway. There are

2461
01:26:02,971 --> 01:26:05,371
daily auditing activities that

2462
01:26:06,774 --> 01:26:09,430
are taking place currently

2463
01:26:09,430 --> 01:26:09,744
again, as I shared with you

2464
01:26:09,744 --> 01:26:11,744
separate communications that

2465
01:26:13,147 --> 01:26:13,814
were fairly detail, a draft

2466
01:26:13,814 --> 01:26:14,449
policy that we've developed

2467
01:26:14,449 --> 01:26:16,317
where we've made multiple

2468
01:26:16,317 --> 01:26:18,717
changes and improvements to

2469
01:26:18,987 --> 01:26:21,189
that policy. The with respect

2470
01:26:21,189 --> 01:26:24,189
to the level of accountability

2471
01:26:25,294 --> 01:26:26,227
and oversight prevention and

2472
01:26:26,227 --> 01:26:28,263
what you're speaking about as

2473
01:26:28,263 --> 01:26:28,963
far as the auditing tools that

2474
01:26:28,963 --> 01:26:30,832
flock is made available. They

2475
01:26:30,832 --> 01:26:33,232
recently made available and

2476
01:26:34,350 --> 01:26:37,635
spring of this year and ai

2477
01:26:37,772 --> 01:26:38,406
assisted auditing tool. That

2478
01:26:38,406 --> 01:26:39,507
is something that we are

2479
01:26:39,507 --> 01:26:41,907
integrating into our audit

2480
01:26:42,310 --> 01:26:44,112
processees I or to that part

2481
01:26:44,112 --> 01:26:45,813
of that, what I described to

2482
01:26:45,813 --> 01:26:49,413
you was that we were doing

2483
01:26:49,784 --> 01:26:51,753
more spot checking, which to

2484
01:26:51,753 --> 01:26:53,588
me admittedly was clearly not

2485
01:26:53,588 --> 01:26:54,889
enough. It was not sufficient

2486
01:26:54,889 --> 01:26:55,723
sufficient level of auditing

2487
01:26:55,723 --> 01:26:58,723
and oversight. Now, I would

2488
01:26:59,427 --> 01:27:01,597
like to make mention that

2489
01:27:01,597 --> 01:27:02,598
while our retention period is

2490
01:27:02,598 --> 01:27:04,799
30 days for the captures, the

2491
01:27:04,799 --> 01:27:07,436
photos that are taken by the

2492
01:27:07,436 --> 01:27:10,436
cameras, the search history is

2493
01:27:11,372 --> 01:27:13,107
maintained. And pre-paid and

2494
01:27:13,107 --> 01:27:15,310
purpose perpetually. So we

2495
01:27:15,310 --> 01:27:17,512
don't that doesn't get erased.

2496
01:27:17,512 --> 01:27:19,647
So if there's any suspicion of

2497
01:27:19,647 --> 01:27:21,516
misuse, we will investigate

2498
01:27:21,516 --> 01:27:23,251
that misuse or potential

2499
01:27:23,251 --> 01:27:26,870
misuse verify whether it was

2500
01:27:26,870 --> 01:27:27,355
misuse and then take action

2501
01:27:27,355 --> 01:27:29,490
accordingly. And so again, I

2502
01:27:29,490 --> 01:27:32,361
also mention in my response to

2503
01:27:32,361 --> 01:27:34,396
that, we are in the process of

2504
01:27:34,396 --> 01:27:35,231
converting what is currently a

2505
01:27:35,231 --> 01:27:37,231
standard operating procedure,

2506
01:27:38,167 --> 01:27:39,335
which typically is not

2507
01:27:39,335 --> 01:27:41,570
publicly accessible. We're in

2508
01:27:41,570 --> 01:27:42,137
in the name of transparency

2509
01:27:42,137 --> 01:27:44,273
with an effort to be

2510
01:27:44,273 --> 01:27:46,740
intentional about that. We're

2511
01:27:46,740 --> 01:27:49,740
converting that to a general

2512
01:27:49,770 --> 01:27:50,880
order and we are also going to

2513
01:27:50,880 --> 01:27:51,547
be presenting that to our

2514
01:27:51,547 --> 01:27:53,515
general orders Board, which

2515
01:27:53,515 --> 01:27:55,751
does have community members on

2516
01:27:55,751 --> 01:27:58,721
it. So that we can solicit

2517
01:27:58,721 --> 01:28:00,356
their feedback and get a final

2518
01:28:00,356 --> 01:28:01,900
product that does have and

2519
01:28:01,900 --> 01:28:03,900
reflect community impact

2520
01:28:06,795 --> 01:28:08,330
community input. I picture the

2521
01:28:08,330 --> 01:28:09,310
you know, and the terms of the

2522
01:28:09,310 --> 01:28:09,698
detention policy, I did want

2523
01:28:09,698 --> 01:28:12,334
say I mentioned this to you

2524
01:28:12,334 --> 01:28:13,350
via e-mail as well. But you

2525
01:28:13,350 --> 01:28:16,272
know, at the time that I talk

2526
01:28:16,272 --> 01:28:16,872
with cameras in its last year,

2527
01:28:16,872 --> 01:28:17,940
impd is policy added or

2528
01:28:17,940 --> 01:28:20,340
attention of 180 days flock

2529
01:28:20,743 --> 01:28:22,144
was recommending 30 days the

2530
01:28:22,144 --> 01:28:24,647
time now is moving to 30 days

2531
01:28:24,647 --> 01:28:25,281
and flock is actually putting

2532
01:28:25,281 --> 01:28:27,490
by the fall to 7 days and

2533
01:28:27,490 --> 01:28:27,917
recommending that the police

2534
01:28:27,917 --> 01:28:29,618
departments. So I will say

2535
01:28:29,618 --> 01:28:31,620
that it feels a little

2536
01:28:31,620 --> 01:28:32,321
frustrating to have such a

2537
01:28:32,321 --> 01:28:33,550
well funded and well trained

2538
01:28:33,550 --> 01:28:34,857
police department be so behind

2539
01:28:34,857 --> 01:28:36,580
the times and not paying

2540
01:28:36,580 --> 01:28:36,692
attention to the most recent

2541
01:28:36,692 --> 01:28:38,692
recommendations from the

2542
01:28:39,610 --> 01:28:41,461
company or contracting with.

2543
01:28:42,998 --> 01:28:43,566
That's not I would like That's

2544
01:28:43,566 --> 01:28:44,700
mischaracterizing the

2545
01:28:44,700 --> 01:28:47,200
communication that you and I

2546
01:28:47,200 --> 01:28:50,439
had. And I did tell you that

2547
01:28:50,439 --> 01:28:53,108
we actually I misspoke. We are

2548
01:28:53,108 --> 01:28:53,842
evaluating that retention. A

2549
01:28:53,842 --> 01:28:56,242
period 30 days has been

2550
01:28:58,214 --> 01:28:59,648
implemented for a long time.

2551
01:28:59,648 --> 01:29:00,350
Again, with the general orders

2552
01:29:00,350 --> 01:29:02,519
board. They're going to have

2553
01:29:02,519 --> 01:29:04,621
input on that 7 day retention

2554
01:29:04,621 --> 01:29:05,388
period. And we are trying to

2555
01:29:05,388 --> 01:29:06,456
find out this. I had a

2556
01:29:06,456 --> 01:29:07,389
question from another

2557
01:29:07,389 --> 01:29:07,990
counselor about the 7 day

2558
01:29:07,990 --> 01:29:09,559
retention period. So I

2559
01:29:09,559 --> 01:29:10,793
apologize for getting them

2560
01:29:10,793 --> 01:29:14,196
mixed up. We're trying to get

2561
01:29:14,196 --> 01:29:15,310
information from flock. They

2562
01:29:15,310 --> 01:29:18,680
put that data out there. They

2563
01:29:18,680 --> 01:29:21,668
put a statistic out there that

2564
01:29:22,372 --> 01:29:23,440
said that 90% of our Police

2565
01:29:23,440 --> 01:29:25,440
Department searches occurred

2566
01:29:26,610 --> 01:29:27,777
within 7 days of a crime. And

2567
01:29:27,777 --> 01:29:29,579
what I'm trying to get from

2568
01:29:29,579 --> 01:29:31,470
flock is how is ai and what

2569
01:29:31,470 --> 01:29:34,217
does I am pdt? Is that a show

2570
01:29:34,217 --> 01:29:34,851
as it relates to that

2571
01:29:34,851 --> 01:29:36,219
retention period and what

2572
01:29:36,219 --> 01:29:37,487
would make sense for our

2573
01:29:37,487 --> 01:29:39,389
community and also giving the

2574
01:29:39,389 --> 01:29:40,523
general orders board

2575
01:29:40,523 --> 01:29:41,591
opportunity to provide that

2576
01:29:41,591 --> 01:29:42,559
feedback on what our retention

2577
01:29:42,559 --> 01:29:43,226
period should be. And that's

2578
01:29:43,226 --> 01:29:46,226
why the general order isn't

2579
01:29:46,796 --> 01:29:49,699
draft form right now because

2580
01:29:49,699 --> 01:29:51,701
those are conversations that

2581
01:29:51,701 --> 01:29:53,670
are ongoing. We're absolutely

2582
01:29:53,670 --> 01:29:54,371
not ignoring recommendations

2583
01:29:54,371 --> 01:29:55,906
from flock. We're just trying

2584
01:29:55,906 --> 01:29:56,973
to verify the data that makes

2585
01:29:56,973 --> 01:29:59,973
sense and that's relevant to

2586
01:30:00,710 --> 01:30:01,945
Indianapolis. I appreciate the

2587
01:30:01,945 --> 01:30:03,313
clarification. MR. Just brief

2588
01:30:03,313 --> 01:30:04,714
more on this topic. I've got a

2589
01:30:04,714 --> 01:30:05,448
lot more, but I you that we're

2590
01:30:05,448 --> 01:30:06,283
going to want to to more. Come

2591
01:30:06,283 --> 01:30:09,283
back to you later. Appreciate

2592
01:30:11,454 --> 01:30:12,880
that. So sure they're still

2593
01:30:12,880 --> 01:30:12,789
working through this. And

2594
01:30:12,789 --> 01:30:13,456
understand it's going to be a

2595
01:30:13,456 --> 01:30:16,456
moving target a little bit.

2596
01:30:18,529 --> 01:30:19,630
But how many officers do you

2597
01:30:19,630 --> 01:30:21,632
suspects or believe have

2598
01:30:21,632 --> 01:30:23,334
misused flock cameras with an

2599
01:30:23,334 --> 01:30:26,934
impd and what are the chances

2600
01:30:26,937 --> 01:30:27,604
that a random officer use of

2601
01:30:27,604 --> 01:30:31,141
the lpr is audited to have

2602
01:30:31,141 --> 01:30:32,576
data on either of us. I can

2603
01:30:32,576 --> 01:30:34,770
tell you that like I mentioned

2604
01:30:34,770 --> 01:30:35,346
already, we have daily

2605
01:30:35,346 --> 01:30:37,113
auditing activities to verify

2606
01:30:37,113 --> 01:30:39,149
if there's any additional

2607
01:30:39,149 --> 01:30:41,549
misuse any misuse that's

2608
01:30:42,752 --> 01:30:45,152
discovered will I'll take

2609
01:30:45,555 --> 01:30:46,891
action on that. Like I already

2610
01:30:46,891 --> 01:30:48,558
demonstrated at this time,

2611
01:30:48,558 --> 01:30:49,492
we've only recommended I

2612
01:30:49,492 --> 01:30:50,228
recommend and one officer for

2613
01:30:50,228 --> 01:30:51,280
separation. He suspended

2614
01:30:51,280 --> 01:30:53,428
without pay recommended for

2615
01:30:53,431 --> 01:30:56,431
termination to our Mayor board

2616
01:30:57,401 --> 01:30:58,668
based on his issues, any

2617
01:30:58,668 --> 01:30:59,403
additional ongoing

2618
01:30:59,403 --> 01:31:01,672
investigations or just that to

2619
01:31:01,672 --> 01:31:03,707
the fact-finding missions. And

2620
01:31:03,707 --> 01:31:05,209
I would you know, if if there

2621
01:31:05,209 --> 01:31:07,440
are any other officers that I

2622
01:31:07,440 --> 01:31:08,450
recommend for termination for

2623
01:31:08,450 --> 01:31:08,579
this, I will certainly

2624
01:31:08,579 --> 01:31:09,881
continue in the era

2625
01:31:09,881 --> 01:31:12,281
transparency in that respect.

2626
01:31:13,551 --> 01:31:14,485
As far as the percentage of

2627
01:31:14,485 --> 01:31:15,319
searches that are audited. I

2628
01:31:15,319 --> 01:31:17,822
do not have that data right

2629
01:31:17,822 --> 01:31:18,456
now. It's can be something

2630
01:31:18,456 --> 01:31:21,456
that we continue to have

2631
01:31:21,692 --> 01:31:22,360
discussion on. I appreciate

2632
01:31:22,360 --> 01:31:23,600
that. And just against the

2633
01:31:23,600 --> 01:31:25,796
comment was a clear that all

2634
01:31:25,796 --> 01:31:26,530
but on the subject, you know,

2635
01:31:26,530 --> 01:31:29,600
I used to do quality assurance

2636
01:31:29,600 --> 01:31:30,301
and a call center. And so we

2637
01:31:30,301 --> 01:31:32,603
did real-time monitoring. We

2638
01:31:32,603 --> 01:31:33,638
would we could listen live to

2639
01:31:33,638 --> 01:31:34,872
calls calls every single day,

2640
01:31:34,872 --> 01:31:36,574
you know, but 90% of calls

2641
01:31:36,574 --> 01:31:38,644
never got checked at all. And

2642
01:31:38,644 --> 01:31:39,344
so you could still be doing

2643
01:31:39,344 --> 01:31:41,379
the work and I'm not doubting

2644
01:31:41,379 --> 01:31:43,514
the grant also trying their

2645
01:31:43,514 --> 01:31:45,160
best. But I'm wondering when I

2646
01:31:45,160 --> 01:31:45,750
see an internal affairs

2647
01:31:45,750 --> 01:31:46,484
budget, that is one 4th of the

2648
01:31:46,484 --> 01:31:48,553
federal liaison is budget with

2649
01:31:48,553 --> 01:31:50,154
a 90 d it just makes me wonder

2650
01:31:50,154 --> 01:31:50,988
how much auditing is

2651
01:31:50,988 --> 01:31:52,490
happening. Yeah. Compared to

2652
01:31:52,490 --> 01:31:54,890
how much collaboration with

2653
01:31:55,693 --> 01:31:56,627
federal agencies? Well, I well

2654
01:31:56,627 --> 01:31:57,428
for one thing. Federal

2655
01:31:57,428 --> 01:31:59,430
agencies do not have access to

2656
01:31:59,430 --> 01:32:03,630
our lpr data. I'd like to get

2657
01:32:04,436 --> 01:32:06,270
that out there. Secondly, any

2658
01:32:06,270 --> 01:32:09,241
because the rich, the searches

2659
01:32:09,241 --> 01:32:10,209
are retained and definitely

2660
01:32:10,209 --> 01:32:10,942
any suspected misuse. That

2661
01:32:10,942 --> 01:32:14,542
information is there for us to

2662
01:32:15,814 --> 01:32:16,647
investigate and look at so

2663
01:32:16,647 --> 01:32:20,847
also with the new ai tool that

2664
01:32:21,988 --> 01:32:22,988
Flock has provided to us. It

2665
01:32:22,988 --> 01:32:24,856
does provide more real-time,

2666
01:32:24,856 --> 01:32:26,924
proactive ability for us to

2667
01:32:26,924 --> 01:32:28,293
stay on top of suspected

2668
01:32:28,293 --> 01:32:28,961
misuse that we can follow up

2669
01:32:28,961 --> 01:32:29,661
and investigate. Look into

2670
01:32:29,661 --> 01:32:31,897
that and prevent future

2671
01:32:31,897 --> 01:32:32,864
misuse. I think that also will

2672
01:32:32,864 --> 01:32:34,733
hold officers more

2673
01:32:34,733 --> 01:32:37,133
accountable. Then what we've

2674
01:32:38,537 --> 01:32:41,390
done in the past now any

2675
01:32:41,390 --> 01:32:42,975
again, ongoing audit is

2676
01:32:42,975 --> 01:32:44,943
happening daily. Any suspected

2677
01:32:44,943 --> 01:32:47,120
misuse will be addressed

2678
01:32:47,120 --> 01:32:47,679
appropriately. Thank you to

2679
01:32:47,679 --> 01:32:50,449
Casa Rosada. Back to It was

2680
01:32:50,449 --> 01:32:51,283
the end here. Council boots.

2681
01:32:51,283 --> 01:32:52,500
Thank you, MR. CHAIRMAN, thank

2682
01:32:52,500 --> 01:32:55,500
you. Chief cfo for your

2683
01:32:55,654 --> 01:32:56,655
presentation this evening.

2684
01:32:56,655 --> 01:32:57,389
Statement in a couple

2685
01:32:57,389 --> 01:32:59,292
questions you know my time and

2686
01:32:59,292 --> 01:33:01,692
hopefully circle back one,

2687
01:33:03,295 --> 01:33:04,496
just a request we have before

2688
01:33:04,496 --> 01:33:08,166
us that a draft of the amended

2689
01:33:08,166 --> 01:33:09,134
Alpr general order. Anyway, we

2690
01:33:09,134 --> 01:33:11,203
can get a red line versions so

2691
01:33:11,203 --> 01:33:11,870
we can see exactly the changes

2692
01:33:11,870 --> 01:33:12,604
that are being made in the

2693
01:33:12,604 --> 01:33:15,604
current version as compared to

2694
01:33:15,908 --> 01:33:16,542
the original. This is the this

2695
01:33:16,542 --> 01:33:18,100
is what the officers are

2696
01:33:18,100 --> 01:33:20,410
currently operating under has

2697
01:33:22,140 --> 01:33:23,150
an s o p I've had it converted

2698
01:33:23,150 --> 01:33:24,820
to a draft general order

2699
01:33:24,820 --> 01:33:24,716
because this is what we plan

2700
01:33:24,716 --> 01:33:25,450
to present to the General

2701
01:33:25,450 --> 01:33:27,319
Motors board. But the language

2702
01:33:27,319 --> 01:33:28,453
in front of you, the

2703
01:33:28,453 --> 01:33:30,155
procedures in front of you are

2704
01:33:30,155 --> 01:33:32,555
what their operating under

2705
01:33:35,261 --> 01:33:35,962
now. Are you asking for the

2706
01:33:35,962 --> 01:33:38,640
2023 policy he sets? That is

2707
01:33:38,640 --> 01:33:39,632
in prior communication from

2708
01:33:39,632 --> 01:33:40,232
council Brown. I'm happy to

2709
01:33:40,232 --> 01:33:41,568
provide it to you in a

2710
01:33:41,568 --> 01:33:43,769
separate communication. If you

2711
01:33:43,769 --> 01:33:44,469
like that. Yeah, it was or a

2712
01:33:44,469 --> 01:33:48,690
way to get a redline version

2713
01:33:48,440 --> 01:33:50,609
comparing the 2 my we can. We

2714
01:33:50,609 --> 01:33:51,276
can. I think that one of the

2715
01:33:51,276 --> 01:33:54,790
things that will make it a

2716
01:33:54,790 --> 01:33:54,681
little bit harder to follow is

2717
01:33:54,681 --> 01:33:57,810
that it was previously

2718
01:33:57,116 --> 01:33:58,117
combined. Public safety

2719
01:33:58,117 --> 01:34:01,717
cameras on the whole. And we

2720
01:34:01,988 --> 01:34:03,560
felt like Alpr cameras

2721
01:34:03,560 --> 01:34:06,560
deserved a singular focus and

2722
01:34:07,594 --> 01:34:08,661
that's why we pulled that out

2723
01:34:08,661 --> 01:34:09,963
of up. Another stop that was

2724
01:34:09,963 --> 01:34:11,164
combined with other public

2725
01:34:11,164 --> 01:34:11,864
safety cameras. So but I'm

2726
01:34:11,864 --> 01:34:14,767
happy to provide that to you

2727
01:34:14,767 --> 01:34:18,367
as well. The be helpful. Thank

2728
01:34:18,805 --> 01:34:20,640
you. My question One of the

2729
01:34:20,640 --> 01:34:24,840
issues that I hear most of in

2730
01:34:25,845 --> 01:34:26,846
my area is is traffic problems

2731
01:34:26,846 --> 01:34:29,246
speeding running red lights,

2732
01:34:32,510 --> 01:34:32,919
it that causes a lot of

2733
01:34:32,919 --> 01:34:33,586
accidents. We've got a lot of

2734
01:34:33,586 --> 01:34:35,986
vision, 0 issues. We've had

2735
01:34:37,991 --> 01:34:38,791
some hit and run deaths. What

2736
01:34:38,791 --> 01:34:41,794
is in But yet I saw nothing

2737
01:34:41,794 --> 01:34:44,194
mentioned in the presentation

2738
01:34:44,564 --> 01:34:47,133
about traffic control and I

2739
01:34:47,133 --> 01:34:48,167
know are our revenue from

2740
01:34:48,167 --> 01:34:49,836
tickets. Not that asking you

2741
01:34:49,836 --> 01:34:51,604
to go on to get our whole

2742
01:34:51,604 --> 01:34:52,338
population. But that revenue

2743
01:34:52,338 --> 01:34:53,973
has gone down considerably are

2744
01:34:53,973 --> 01:34:56,973
writing of tickets has gone

2745
01:34:57,610 --> 01:34:58,311
down considerably the result

2746
01:34:58,311 --> 01:35:01,848
is it's a wild wild west out

2747
01:35:01,848 --> 01:35:04,248
on our streets. Sometimes.

2748
01:35:04,250 --> 01:35:04,984
What do you have in mind for

2749
01:35:04,984 --> 01:35:07,384
improving traffic control this

2750
01:35:08,788 --> 01:35:11,724
coming year? Well, I did

2751
01:35:11,724 --> 01:35:12,426
mention in my presentation,

2752
01:35:12,426 --> 01:35:14,826
our transparency website and

2753
01:35:16,529 --> 01:35:18,298
there Traffic statistics

2754
01:35:18,298 --> 01:35:18,965
located at that transparency

2755
01:35:18,965 --> 01:35:22,565
website. So you can see the

2756
01:35:23,370 --> 01:35:25,239
traffic stop data. There's

2757
01:35:25,239 --> 01:35:27,340
also we have under Chief

2758
01:35:27,340 --> 01:35:30,940
Bailey's tenure. We did add to

2759
01:35:32,479 --> 01:35:33,480
our traffic unit and with our

2760
01:35:33,480 --> 01:35:35,480
staffing challenges. Frankly,

2761
01:35:37,484 --> 01:35:38,652
it's hard sometimes to do more

2762
01:35:38,652 --> 01:35:40,421
proactive work. But when we

2763
01:35:40,421 --> 01:35:41,454
get those traffic complaints,

2764
01:35:41,454 --> 01:35:42,223
which we've also improved the

2765
01:35:42,223 --> 01:35:44,457
process of receiving the

2766
01:35:44,457 --> 01:35:45,392
traffic complaints by

2767
01:35:45,392 --> 01:35:48,392
providing that that link and

2768
01:35:49,363 --> 01:35:50,197
then streamlining that data to

2769
01:35:50,197 --> 01:35:51,332
the impacted neighborhoods. So

2770
01:35:51,332 --> 01:35:52,320
the officers that worked that

2771
01:35:52,320 --> 01:35:55,603
area and our traffic unit, as

2772
01:35:55,603 --> 01:35:56,503
a matter of fact, on my way

2773
01:35:56,503 --> 01:35:57,271
into work this morning, I

2774
01:35:57,271 --> 01:36:00,140
passed one of our traffic

2775
01:36:00,140 --> 01:36:02,540
officers that was running

2776
01:36:02,543 --> 01:36:03,244
radar, doing traffic on Bull

2777
01:36:03,244 --> 01:36:05,644
Creek Parkway and certainly

2778
01:36:08,415 --> 01:36:09,717
committed to addressing

2779
01:36:09,717 --> 01:36:11,717
particular traffic complaints.

2780
01:36:11,919 --> 01:36:12,586
I hear 2 counselor. I was at a

2781
01:36:12,586 --> 01:36:13,822
community meeting last week

2782
01:36:13,822 --> 01:36:16,790
and it was brought up and they

2783
01:36:16,790 --> 01:36:18,993
also asked for a red light

2784
01:36:18,993 --> 01:36:19,693
traffic cameras to be brought

2785
01:36:19,693 --> 01:36:23,980
here. So I'll just share that

2786
01:36:23,980 --> 01:36:25,966
feedback with u n. They also

2787
01:36:25,966 --> 01:36:28,302
asked Alpr cameras could help

2788
01:36:28,302 --> 01:36:30,204
with red light and traffic

2789
01:36:30,204 --> 01:36:30,905
violations, which I explained

2790
01:36:30,905 --> 01:36:32,973
that it's really not designed

2791
01:36:32,973 --> 01:36:34,942
to function like that. But our

2792
01:36:34,942 --> 01:36:36,911
officers will do all that.

2793
01:36:36,911 --> 01:36:38,279
They can. We have some of our

2794
01:36:38,279 --> 01:36:40,281
officers that are not in the

2795
01:36:40,281 --> 01:36:42,416
running to the taking 9-1-1.

2796
01:36:42,416 --> 01:36:43,985
Calls that can address those

2797
01:36:43,985 --> 01:36:45,152
traffic complaints and they do

2798
01:36:45,152 --> 01:36:46,186
quite often. I know several

2799
01:36:46,186 --> 01:36:49,186
North district officers in our

2800
01:36:50,910 --> 01:36:50,792
community relations do that.

2801
01:36:50,792 --> 01:36:51,392
Clearly, it's not enough. We

2802
01:36:51,392 --> 01:36:52,260
we want to have a safe

2803
01:36:52,260 --> 01:36:54,260
community where everybody

2804
01:36:55,397 --> 01:36:56,498
feels safe on the roads and

2805
01:36:56,498 --> 01:36:57,566
people feel like there's a

2806
01:36:57,566 --> 01:36:59,434
chance that they MAY be held

2807
01:36:59,434 --> 01:37:00,402
accountable for their driving

2808
01:37:00,402 --> 01:37:01,101
behavior. And that's our our

2809
01:37:01,101 --> 01:37:03,939
responsibility and our job to

2810
01:37:03,939 --> 01:37:04,638
do that. So please keep the

2811
01:37:04,638 --> 01:37:07,638
communication open so that we

2812
01:37:08,375 --> 01:37:10,545
can address those issues.

2813
01:37:10,545 --> 01:37:11,646
Originally looking back to the

2814
01:37:11,646 --> 01:37:14,516
summer of 2021 and some of the

2815
01:37:14,516 --> 01:37:17,516
civil unrest we had, my

2816
01:37:18,286 --> 01:37:19,688
understanding was at the time

2817
01:37:19,688 --> 01:37:21,156
that was understanding patrol

2818
01:37:21,156 --> 01:37:24,156
officers that unless you had

2819
01:37:24,926 --> 01:37:25,661
other probable cause, if you

2820
01:37:25,661 --> 01:37:28,129
are at a stoplight and someone

2821
01:37:28,129 --> 01:37:30,832
blatantly ran it, you could

2822
01:37:30,832 --> 01:37:31,499
not go after them unless you

2823
01:37:31,499 --> 01:37:32,100
had another reason such as

2824
01:37:32,100 --> 01:37:34,500
license plate popped up

2825
01:37:35,300 --> 01:37:37,105
something like that, that

2826
01:37:37,105 --> 01:37:39,641
there was order not to engage

2827
01:37:39,641 --> 01:37:40,175
the public to minimize the

2828
01:37:40,175 --> 01:37:42,175
engagement roadside

2829
01:37:42,711 --> 01:37:45,711
engagements that at the time

2830
01:37:45,914 --> 01:37:46,948
at the height of problems

2831
01:37:46,948 --> 01:37:48,683
nationwide. There anything

2832
01:37:48,683 --> 01:37:51,520
still lingering to that effect

2833
01:37:51,520 --> 01:37:51,720
or our officers encouraged?

2834
01:37:51,720 --> 01:37:54,720
You see a traffic violation

2835
01:37:55,490 --> 01:37:58,560
act on it. Yes, sir. To my

2836
01:37:58,560 --> 01:37:59,261
knowledge, there's there's

2837
01:37:59,261 --> 01:37:59,995
certainly not order for me to

2838
01:37:59,995 --> 01:38:01,630
not engage with the public. We

2839
01:38:01,630 --> 01:38:03,765
encourage officers to be

2840
01:38:03,765 --> 01:38:04,666
proactive, especially when

2841
01:38:04,666 --> 01:38:06,735
they're able to one of the

2842
01:38:06,735 --> 01:38:07,469
things that we're trying to

2843
01:38:07,469 --> 01:38:07,969
measure. Again, I mentioned a

2844
01:38:07,969 --> 01:38:09,969
lot about driven

2845
01:38:11,907 --> 01:38:12,607
decision-making. One of the

2846
01:38:12,607 --> 01:38:13,875
things that we've been trying

2847
01:38:13,875 --> 01:38:16,111
to improve on is getting

2848
01:38:16,111 --> 01:38:17,113
accurate data on. What exactly

2849
01:38:17,113 --> 01:38:20,113
is the gist discretionary time

2850
01:38:21,490 --> 01:38:21,850
that our officers have. Are we

2851
01:38:21,850 --> 01:38:22,551
asking is it realistic that

2852
01:38:22,551 --> 01:38:23,786
we're asking them to make all

2853
01:38:23,786 --> 01:38:26,556
these traffic stops or are

2854
01:38:26,556 --> 01:38:28,591
they are literally on run to

2855
01:38:28,591 --> 01:38:30,759
run, to run, to run for their

2856
01:38:30,759 --> 01:38:31,661
entire shift. How much times

2857
01:38:31,661 --> 01:38:32,928
it taking them to enter in a

2858
01:38:32,928 --> 01:38:33,896
police report when they get

2859
01:38:33,896 --> 01:38:37,496
one. How much time is it

2860
01:38:37,600 --> 01:38:39,340
taking them to enter in a

2861
01:38:39,340 --> 01:38:40,403
special report? If they've you

2862
01:38:40,403 --> 01:38:41,103
had to use force they've been

2863
01:38:41,103 --> 01:38:43,372
engaged in a vehicle, pursue

2864
01:38:43,372 --> 01:38:46,972
door if they had some other

2865
01:38:47,760 --> 01:38:47,843
report. That's not crime. So

2866
01:38:47,843 --> 01:38:49,779
we're trying to get accurate

2867
01:38:49,779 --> 01:38:51,314
data so that we can answer

2868
01:38:51,314 --> 01:38:53,382
those questions and understand

2869
01:38:53,382 --> 01:38:55,383
really where we are with their

2870
01:38:55,383 --> 01:38:56,419
discretionary time in the

2871
01:38:56,419 --> 01:38:58,454
meantime, we are we are

2872
01:38:58,454 --> 01:38:59,455
continuing encourage them were

2873
01:38:59,455 --> 01:39:01,224
sharing those traffic

2874
01:39:01,224 --> 01:39:01,924
complaints with them. Officers

2875
01:39:01,924 --> 01:39:02,592
that are working those beets.

2876
01:39:02,592 --> 01:39:05,592
They take real ownership of

2877
01:39:05,595 --> 01:39:06,596
that. It matters to them. It's

2878
01:39:06,596 --> 01:39:07,496
our job to make sure they know

2879
01:39:07,496 --> 01:39:09,298
about those traffic complaints

2880
01:39:09,298 --> 01:39:12,680
so that they can address them.

2881
01:39:12,680 --> 01:39:12,969
And then we'll leverage our

2882
01:39:12,969 --> 01:39:14,870
traffic unit and are our

2883
01:39:14,870 --> 01:39:17,270
proactive units like community

2884
01:39:17,940 --> 01:39:18,574
relations. Some of our violent

2885
01:39:18,574 --> 01:39:21,574
crime task force units at

2886
01:39:21,577 --> 01:39:22,245
times can be tasked with that.

2887
01:39:22,245 --> 01:39:22,812
Good, great final question.

2888
01:39:22,812 --> 01:39:25,212
What makes their and

2889
01:39:27,830 --> 01:39:27,783
COUNCILMAN Phase one here

2890
01:39:27,783 --> 01:39:29,783
special events. Indianapolis

2891
01:39:31,622 --> 01:39:32,288
is prides itself on that. But

2892
01:39:32,288 --> 01:39:34,457
I also appreciate that's a

2893
01:39:34,457 --> 01:39:36,857
considerable expense. That the

2894
01:39:37,590 --> 01:39:39,459
taxpayers bare. We typically

2895
01:39:40,960 --> 01:39:43,696
do not charge. The nfl. The

2896
01:39:44,867 --> 01:39:47,303
nba. In 500, all these big

2897
01:39:47,303 --> 01:39:49,373
events. We just pay all that

2898
01:39:49,373 --> 01:39:52,209
over time. And back to

2899
01:39:52,209 --> 01:39:53,976
counselor Perkins point of

2900
01:39:53,976 --> 01:39:55,445
that's tens of millions of

2901
01:39:55,445 --> 01:39:58,445
dollars that we pay overtime

2902
01:39:58,549 --> 01:40:00,516
to put all these events. Why

2903
01:40:00,516 --> 01:40:03,586
are we looking at getting at

2904
01:40:03,586 --> 01:40:05,888
least some user fee to charge

2905
01:40:05,888 --> 01:40:08,691
some of these folks to help

2906
01:40:08,691 --> 01:40:09,392
pay for our security because

2907
01:40:09,392 --> 01:40:12,290
our taxpayers are paying for

2908
01:40:12,290 --> 01:40:15,629
all that. So I Thank you

2909
01:40:17,834 --> 01:40:20,300
council. I did get some

2910
01:40:20,300 --> 01:40:22,305
information on the Capital

2911
01:40:22,305 --> 01:40:23,600
Improvement Board and a an

2912
01:40:23,600 --> 01:40:25,406
annual contribution that they

2913
01:40:27,100 --> 01:40:29,746
do make to public safety for

2914
01:40:29,746 --> 01:40:31,882
budgets and impd gets 1.8

2915
01:40:31,882 --> 01:40:33,951
5 million annually added to

2916
01:40:33,951 --> 01:40:37,551
our budget from the cip. So

2917
01:40:37,588 --> 01:40:39,723
that's one part of the answer.

2918
01:40:39,723 --> 01:40:42,723
A second thing that we're

2919
01:40:45,996 --> 01:40:46,863
discussing is we we do the

2920
01:40:46,863 --> 01:40:49,132
sports teams, our traffic unit

2921
01:40:49,132 --> 01:40:49,800
for escorts of the

2922
01:40:49,800 --> 01:40:52,200
professional teams. I think

2923
01:40:53,360 --> 01:40:54,972
that we're weak in an

2924
01:40:54,972 --> 01:40:56,174
evaluation phase. But

2925
01:40:56,174 --> 01:40:57,542
comparing our fees to some of

2926
01:40:57,542 --> 01:41:00,444
the other fees across the

2927
01:41:00,444 --> 01:41:01,645
country. I think we have

2928
01:41:01,645 --> 01:41:02,446
opportunity to re evaluate the

2929
01:41:02,446 --> 01:41:03,547
what those fees look like and

2930
01:41:03,547 --> 01:41:06,717
try to recruit more of our

2931
01:41:06,717 --> 01:41:08,552
expenses on that front. But I

2932
01:41:08,552 --> 01:41:12,152
think that and I MAY be

2933
01:41:12,623 --> 01:41:13,557
speaking out of turn in some

2934
01:41:13,557 --> 01:41:14,458
respects. It's certainly

2935
01:41:14,458 --> 01:41:17,458
important to to staff these

2936
01:41:18,295 --> 01:41:19,730
events in a safe way. It is a

2937
01:41:19,730 --> 01:41:21,565
huge draw on our resources. It

2938
01:41:21,565 --> 01:41:23,800
is a huge impact to our

2939
01:41:23,800 --> 01:41:25,636
officers who have seen an

2940
01:41:25,636 --> 01:41:27,739
increasing number of cancel

2941
01:41:27,739 --> 01:41:28,739
days off on their calendar in

2942
01:41:28,739 --> 01:41:29,373
JANUARY every year when that

2943
01:41:29,373 --> 01:41:32,373
calendar comes out and we

2944
01:41:33,377 --> 01:41:36,446
have, you know, every 4th of

2945
01:41:36,446 --> 01:41:37,749
JULY is canceled for our

2946
01:41:37,749 --> 01:41:40,451
officers. It's not a time for

2947
01:41:40,451 --> 01:41:41,152
them to go and celebrate with

2948
01:41:41,152 --> 01:41:41,786
their loved ones. It's a time

2949
01:41:41,786 --> 01:41:45,890
for them to make sure our

2950
01:41:45,890 --> 01:41:46,523
Indianapolis stay safe. Every

2951
01:41:46,523 --> 01:41:49,523
memorial weekend is a canceled

2952
01:41:50,528 --> 01:41:51,262
a off for the Indy 500. Those

2953
01:41:51,262 --> 01:41:52,362
are real impacts that are that

2954
01:41:52,362 --> 01:41:55,362
are just simply not tangible.

2955
01:41:55,999 --> 01:41:56,701
At the same time we have to

2956
01:41:56,701 --> 01:41:58,701
maintain staffing throughout

2957
01:42:00,305 --> 01:42:01,339
the city while also directing

2958
01:42:01,339 --> 01:42:01,973
a lot of resources to

2959
01:42:01,973 --> 01:42:04,373
concentrated area to keep

2960
01:42:05,176 --> 01:42:06,770
those events safe. That does

2961
01:42:06,770 --> 01:42:08,313
require those cancel days off

2962
01:42:08,313 --> 01:42:09,981
require part of that over time

2963
01:42:09,981 --> 01:42:13,952
as well. So do I think that

2964
01:42:13,952 --> 01:42:16,120
we're recouping one for one on

2965
01:42:16,120 --> 01:42:18,657
all these special events know

2966
01:42:18,657 --> 01:42:19,390
I would I would welcome an

2967
01:42:19,390 --> 01:42:20,191
invitation to conversations to

2968
01:42:20,191 --> 01:42:23,127
what that process looks like

2969
01:42:23,127 --> 01:42:24,362
at the city level from a

2970
01:42:24,362 --> 01:42:25,960
public safety standpoint and

2971
01:42:25,960 --> 01:42:28,960
what that impact public safety

2972
01:42:28,990 --> 01:42:28,733
is. I think one of the things

2973
01:42:28,733 --> 01:42:32,300
that we all have to think

2974
01:42:32,300 --> 01:42:34,739
about. Is what brings people

2975
01:42:34,739 --> 01:42:35,440
to our special events in our

2976
01:42:35,440 --> 01:42:38,900
city for these special events

2977
01:42:38,900 --> 01:42:38,977
for these conventions. It's

2978
01:42:38,977 --> 01:42:40,845
certainly not the lakes in the

2979
01:42:40,845 --> 01:42:43,615
mountains that we have in

2980
01:42:43,615 --> 01:42:46,150
Indianapolis. It's the safe

2981
01:42:47,585 --> 01:42:48,254
walkable downtown. That's

2982
01:42:48,254 --> 01:42:49,220
conveniently located where

2983
01:42:49,220 --> 01:42:50,256
they feel welcomed by who's

2984
01:42:50,256 --> 01:42:52,656
your hospitality right? And

2985
01:42:55,930 --> 01:42:57,562
so. That's a that's a decision

2986
01:42:57,562 --> 01:42:59,931
that's bigger than my seat.

2987
01:42:59,931 --> 01:43:01,399
But I do welcome an invitation

2988
01:43:01,399 --> 01:43:03,534
to the seat at the table for

2989
01:43:03,534 --> 01:43:04,836
those conversations. Thank

2990
01:43:04,836 --> 01:43:05,571
you. And I know that that

2991
01:43:05,571 --> 01:43:08,641
power does not lie within your

2992
01:43:08,641 --> 01:43:10,241
scope of your office, I make

2993
01:43:10,241 --> 01:43:11,844
that issue and bring it up

2994
01:43:11,844 --> 01:43:13,678
publicly every year. So this

2995
01:43:13,678 --> 01:43:14,580
was my opportunity. Thank you.

2996
01:43:14,580 --> 01:43:17,580
Thank you, MR. CHAIRMAN, thank

2997
01:43:21,860 --> 01:43:22,120
you. Council council hours.

2998
01:43:22,120 --> 01:43:24,230
Thank you, MR. Chair and

2999
01:43:24,230 --> 01:43:24,723
chief. Thank you and your your

3000
01:43:24,723 --> 01:43:25,423
command staff entering final

3001
01:43:25,423 --> 01:43:26,157
out there tonight. And every

3002
01:43:26,157 --> 01:43:29,662
day out there for us for being

3003
01:43:29,662 --> 01:43:31,730
here. Appreciate the work you

3004
01:43:31,730 --> 01:43:32,464
do. I know it's a thankless

3005
01:43:32,464 --> 01:43:33,132
job and belong shoulders and I

3006
01:43:33,132 --> 01:43:37,332
take a lot of pride in what

3007
01:43:38,938 --> 01:43:39,638
you do and thank you for that.

3008
01:43:39,638 --> 01:43:40,306
You've up Clay. Interesting.

3009
01:43:40,306 --> 01:43:43,306
You mentioned the red light

3010
01:43:43,609 --> 01:43:44,643
cameras. To my understanding.

3011
01:43:44,643 --> 01:43:45,811
Is that something that would

3012
01:43:45,811 --> 01:43:46,412
have to come from the state

3013
01:43:46,412 --> 01:43:48,812
House first? That's not

3014
01:43:50,150 --> 01:43:51,784
currently legal. Is Yes, I and

3015
01:43:51,784 --> 01:43:53,886
in the neighborhood meeting, I

3016
01:43:53,886 --> 01:43:55,788
mention to the neighbors that

3017
01:43:55,788 --> 01:43:56,522
patients start talking to

3018
01:43:56,522 --> 01:43:57,189
their lawmakers about that. If

3019
01:43:57,189 --> 01:43:57,923
that's something that they

3020
01:43:57,923 --> 01:44:01,727
want to see in there and their

3021
01:44:01,727 --> 01:44:03,662
community. All absolute if we

3022
01:44:03,662 --> 01:44:04,563
do get to that point here in

3023
01:44:04,563 --> 01:44:05,831
Indianapolis because I think

3024
01:44:05,831 --> 01:44:06,499
we've seen with of the flock

3025
01:44:06,499 --> 01:44:08,899
cameras when flood public's

3026
01:44:09,101 --> 01:44:10,970
trust in that can't imagine

3027
01:44:10,970 --> 01:44:13,205
what a ticket would do from

3028
01:44:13,205 --> 01:44:14,240
camera. You should be have.

3029
01:44:14,240 --> 01:44:17,240
Have officers that can do

3030
01:44:19,912 --> 01:44:20,679
that. Not rely on technology

3031
01:44:20,679 --> 01:44:23,679
the cars you had mentioned

3032
01:44:23,716 --> 01:44:24,550
forgive me if you said the

3033
01:44:24,550 --> 01:44:26,285
number, but that you are

3034
01:44:26,285 --> 01:44:27,586
tonight in your budget. What

3035
01:44:27,586 --> 01:44:30,586
was fiscal requests for those

3036
01:44:34,260 --> 01:44:36,795
cars and how many? The request

3037
01:44:36,795 --> 01:44:38,331
was for 300 vehicles. The

3038
01:44:38,331 --> 01:44:40,366
estimated cost was around

3039
01:44:40,366 --> 01:44:41,434
13 million, but we were

3040
01:44:41,434 --> 01:44:43,435
planning to finance that. So

3041
01:44:43,435 --> 01:44:44,170
we would have needed financing

3042
01:44:44,170 --> 01:44:44,838
payments. And of course, there

3043
01:44:44,838 --> 01:44:46,438
are variables involved this

3044
01:44:46,438 --> 01:44:49,608
far as interest rates what we

3045
01:44:49,608 --> 01:44:52,608
could purchase at the time.

3046
01:44:55,815 --> 01:44:57,249
Was it about 3? Yeah, actually

3047
01:44:57,249 --> 01:45:00,553
like we we told them we need

3048
01:45:00,553 --> 01:45:03,553
it. 13 million to purchase the

3049
01:45:04,491 --> 01:45:05,125
vehicles to be financed. So

3050
01:45:05,125 --> 01:45:07,525
yeah, we are anticipating

3051
01:45:12,299 --> 01:45:13,330
around 3.2 million. Think we

3052
01:45:13,330 --> 01:45:13,800
had the same conversation last

3053
01:45:13,800 --> 01:45:14,501
year and the frustration, I

3054
01:45:14,501 --> 01:45:18,471
for a lot of us with the set

3055
01:45:18,471 --> 01:45:19,439
at the time to was that. Ok,

3056
01:45:19,439 --> 01:45:20,507
we're not going to do in the

3057
01:45:20,507 --> 01:45:21,775
budget. Wreckage can down the

3058
01:45:21,775 --> 01:45:24,775
road, granted strength in in

3059
01:45:26,112 --> 01:45:27,180
the fall. What is that worth

3060
01:45:27,180 --> 01:45:28,715
to the control? I want it to

3061
01:45:28,715 --> 01:45:29,383
be known that I think we're

3062
01:45:29,383 --> 01:45:31,686
all getting a little tired

3063
01:45:31,686 --> 01:45:32,986
exhausted. That tactic. It's

3064
01:45:32,986 --> 01:45:33,687
not your fault or at all. I

3065
01:45:33,687 --> 01:45:34,354
don't want you folks. I think

3066
01:45:34,354 --> 01:45:35,550
you're working with in the

3067
01:45:35,550 --> 01:45:36,623
balance that you have to work

3068
01:45:36,623 --> 01:45:40,223
within. But I think we need

3069
01:45:41,127 --> 01:45:43,330
to. Stop kicking the can down

3070
01:45:43,330 --> 01:45:44,300
the road. We're going just do

3071
01:45:44,300 --> 01:45:44,698
like that's what I'm here is

3072
01:45:44,698 --> 01:45:46,320
for the budget is to put a

3073
01:45:46,320 --> 01:45:47,767
budget together that we can

3074
01:45:47,767 --> 01:45:48,468
look at and say, here's what

3075
01:45:48,468 --> 01:45:49,170
we just had. Our expenses are

3076
01:45:49,170 --> 01:45:52,770
going to be. And here's what

3077
01:45:53,390 --> 01:45:54,507
we're gonna bring in. And

3078
01:45:54,507 --> 01:45:56,420
doing the spread, doing it

3079
01:45:56,420 --> 01:45:58,945
that way through the spring

3080
01:45:58,945 --> 01:45:59,646
fiscal it seems seems wrong.

3081
01:45:59,646 --> 01:46:00,380
So I think for whatever it's

3082
01:46:00,380 --> 01:46:01,140
worth, think we need to try to

3083
01:46:01,140 --> 01:46:04,140
figure out how you change

3084
01:46:06,190 --> 01:46:07,254
that. The cbo, the park

3085
01:46:07,254 --> 01:46:07,854
Rangers lost on MR. Chair of

3086
01:46:07,854 --> 01:46:10,254
Promise here. How many

3087
01:46:13,326 --> 01:46:15,362
partners that we have? I think

3088
01:46:15,362 --> 01:46:18,362
it's 5 currently and of our

3089
01:46:19,466 --> 01:46:20,101
hope is that we can get 3

3090
01:46:20,101 --> 01:46:22,737
additional into a tear to

3091
01:46:22,737 --> 01:46:23,604
academy. And I starting, think

3092
01:46:23,604 --> 01:46:26,604
it's in JANUARY. So the

3093
01:46:27,374 --> 01:46:28,800
process is open. We're looking

3094
01:46:28,800 --> 01:46:30,408
for applicants and we're

3095
01:46:32,280 --> 01:46:32,979
hoping to add to their ranks.

3096
01:46:32,979 --> 01:46:33,647
I mean, that's the most

3097
01:46:33,647 --> 01:46:36,647
respectful way. She if you

3098
01:46:41,222 --> 01:46:41,889
think are, you know, 5. Yes,

3099
01:46:41,889 --> 01:46:43,624
that is a number that I had

3100
01:46:43,624 --> 01:46:46,394
looked it. Yes, it was 5

3101
01:46:46,394 --> 01:46:47,361
officers you have right now 13

3102
01:46:47,361 --> 01:46:50,361
83. I would expect, you know,

3103
01:46:50,398 --> 01:46:51,132
the same number with with a

3104
01:46:51,132 --> 01:46:52,935
park ranger. So please compare

3105
01:46:52,935 --> 01:46:55,935
Thank you. Thank you, Mallory

3106
01:46:57,438 --> 01:46:59,838
Council Delaney. Thank you,

3107
01:47:01,642 --> 01:47:02,276
MR. Chair thank you. Chief

3108
01:47:02,276 --> 01:47:02,977
stabbed for coming here

3109
01:47:02,977 --> 01:47:05,977
tonight filling the room full

3110
01:47:06,848 --> 01:47:08,490
of officers as well. Want I

3111
01:47:08,490 --> 01:47:08,849
want to reiterate a counselor,

3112
01:47:08,849 --> 01:47:10,451
but said that I do hear quite

3113
01:47:10,451 --> 01:47:11,152
a bit about traffic issues in

3114
01:47:11,152 --> 01:47:14,152
my district and I'm grateful

3115
01:47:14,822 --> 01:47:16,357
that. That's the number one

3116
01:47:16,357 --> 01:47:17,240
thing that I'm hearing about.

3117
01:47:17,240 --> 01:47:19,126
And as we see that violent

3118
01:47:19,126 --> 01:47:20,461
crime is down, I think folks

3119
01:47:20,461 --> 01:47:22,196
are really concentrating on

3120
01:47:22,196 --> 01:47:22,930
their own neighborhood safety.

3121
01:47:22,930 --> 01:47:23,998
Most of my neighborhoods don't

3122
01:47:23,998 --> 01:47:26,234
have sidewalks. And so folks

3123
01:47:26,234 --> 01:47:27,802
are concerned about getting

3124
01:47:27,802 --> 01:47:29,136
run off the road with their

3125
01:47:29,136 --> 01:47:31,973
kids inside Jen speeding cars

3126
01:47:31,973 --> 01:47:32,673
North district has been really

3127
01:47:32,673 --> 01:47:34,675
great trying to work with me

3128
01:47:34,675 --> 01:47:36,143
and doing speed patrols. But

3129
01:47:36,143 --> 01:47:37,778
those are such a one-off that

3130
01:47:37,778 --> 01:47:39,113
it feels like we could have

3131
01:47:39,113 --> 01:47:39,847
more. And I know it's a bigger

3132
01:47:39,847 --> 01:47:41,515
conversation. But again, I

3133
01:47:41,515 --> 01:47:42,717
just want to reiterate that

3134
01:47:42,717 --> 01:47:44,785
that is one of the biggest

3135
01:47:44,785 --> 01:47:46,530
issues that I hear about is

3136
01:47:46,530 --> 01:47:48,923
just speeding in crazy driving

3137
01:47:48,923 --> 01:47:50,925
and things like that. And so.

3138
01:47:50,925 --> 01:47:53,961
Dpw has a lot of programs to

3139
01:47:53,961 --> 01:47:55,731
help with the bill environment

3140
01:47:55,731 --> 01:47:59,100
and trying to slow folks down.

3141
01:47:59,100 --> 01:47:59,701
I'd like to see more from impd

3142
01:47:59,701 --> 01:48:00,434
getting creative things like

3143
01:48:00,434 --> 01:48:02,770
that in terms of how do we use

3144
01:48:02,770 --> 01:48:04,973
enforcement as well to try to

3145
01:48:04,973 --> 01:48:06,241
help control behaviors just

3146
01:48:06,241 --> 01:48:09,241
generally following up on the

3147
01:48:11,213 --> 01:48:12,470
budget presentation. You have

3148
01:48:12,470 --> 01:48:13,482
a line in here that the

3149
01:48:13,482 --> 01:48:15,882
federal grants are increasing

3150
01:48:16,885 --> 01:48:17,519
by 14 million this year. And

3151
01:48:17,519 --> 01:48:21,560
we've heard from a lot of

3152
01:48:21,560 --> 01:48:21,857
other agencies that they are

3153
01:48:21,857 --> 01:48:22,958
sure that they're getting the

3154
01:48:22,958 --> 01:48:23,992
federal grants. They're

3155
01:48:23,992 --> 01:48:26,280
hopeful that they'll come

3156
01:48:26,280 --> 01:48:27,763
through and years of increased

3157
01:48:27,763 --> 01:48:28,497
more than doubled from this

3158
01:48:28,497 --> 01:48:29,331
year from last. Was hoping you

3159
01:48:29,331 --> 01:48:31,833
could talk a little bit more

3160
01:48:31,833 --> 01:48:33,101
and I MAY for this cause. You

3161
01:48:33,101 --> 01:48:33,869
are getting drowned out at

3162
01:48:33,869 --> 01:48:36,869
some point. So apologize if

3163
01:48:37,139 --> 01:48:38,140
you're having to retrain here,

3164
01:48:38,140 --> 01:48:39,374
but could you talk about what

3165
01:48:39,374 --> 01:48:42,144
what those are going towards

3166
01:48:42,144 --> 01:48:43,946
like? Are they filling a gap

3167
01:48:43,946 --> 01:48:46,181
or are they creating new

3168
01:48:46,181 --> 01:48:47,849
programs? Are they have? And

3169
01:48:47,849 --> 01:48:48,951
then secondarily, have you

3170
01:48:48,951 --> 01:48:49,751
already been given those

3171
01:48:49,751 --> 01:48:52,751
funds? Are you expecting to

3172
01:48:54,690 --> 01:48:55,924
receive them? We are expecting

3173
01:48:55,924 --> 01:48:59,524
to receive them the fall of

3174
01:48:59,728 --> 01:49:01,697
this year and in early next

3175
01:49:01,697 --> 01:49:04,970
year we've applied for

3176
01:49:04,132 --> 01:49:04,900
additional funding for law

3177
01:49:04,900 --> 01:49:07,202
enforcement mental health And

3178
01:49:07,202 --> 01:49:08,704
we applied for some cybercrime

3179
01:49:08,704 --> 01:49:09,504
grants. We have 5

3180
01:49:09,504 --> 01:49:11,504
discretionary funding awards

3181
01:49:13,275 --> 01:49:15,410
that were expecting. All a lot

3182
01:49:15,410 --> 01:49:16,111
of them do fill gaps there for

3183
01:49:16,111 --> 01:49:19,111
equipment that we need. There

3184
01:49:19,448 --> 01:49:22,448
are. I can remember there's

3185
01:49:23,386 --> 01:49:24,530
Lake. I can't remember

3186
01:49:24,530 --> 01:49:25,254
exactly, but I can get back

3187
01:49:25,254 --> 01:49:28,557
with you on exactly what what

3188
01:49:28,557 --> 01:49:30,159
those grants would cover. But

3189
01:49:30,159 --> 01:49:30,793
a lot of its new funding. Some

3190
01:49:30,793 --> 01:49:33,193
are overtime projects to

3191
01:49:34,296 --> 01:49:35,965
swell. Thank you that that's

3192
01:49:35,965 --> 01:49:39,565
all I have. MISTER Chair of

3193
01:49:39,836 --> 01:49:42,236
around thank you, MR.

3194
01:49:42,972 --> 01:49:44,841
CHAIRMAN. Also want to thank

3195
01:49:44,841 --> 01:49:45,909
you for the way that you

3196
01:49:45,909 --> 01:49:46,609
conducted the meeting this far

3197
01:49:46,609 --> 01:49:48,845
this evening. I think you do

3198
01:49:48,845 --> 01:49:51,845
that very well, counselor. I

3199
01:49:52,782 --> 01:49:54,817
think when you and ask

3200
01:49:54,817 --> 01:49:56,185
yourself what makes a good

3201
01:49:56,185 --> 01:49:58,585
chief police in Indianapolis

3202
01:49:59,722 --> 01:50:02,759
and you go back. It is those

3203
01:50:02,759 --> 01:50:05,759
chiefs to handle policy and

3204
01:50:07,330 --> 01:50:08,431
procedure who take issues head

3205
01:50:08,431 --> 01:50:10,300
on handle very difficult

3206
01:50:10,300 --> 01:50:12,680
events and situations often

3207
01:50:12,680 --> 01:50:13,937
times that can't be

3208
01:50:13,937 --> 01:50:17,373
anticipated it and they do so

3209
01:50:17,373 --> 01:50:18,608
in a significant And that's

3210
01:50:18,608 --> 01:50:22,208
not always easy. And in chief,

3211
01:50:22,345 --> 01:50:23,120
I would just say to you then I

3212
01:50:23,120 --> 01:50:24,514
think in the last 7 months

3213
01:50:24,514 --> 01:50:26,649
you've worked very hard.

3214
01:50:26,649 --> 01:50:28,751
Through all of these different

3215
01:50:28,751 --> 01:50:30,453
issues. Those that can be

3216
01:50:30,453 --> 01:50:32,388
planned for in those can't to

3217
01:50:32,388 --> 01:50:34,991
address them in a significant

3218
01:50:34,991 --> 01:50:35,692
way. Whatever that means

3219
01:50:35,692 --> 01:50:37,860
everybody, significant can be

3220
01:50:37,860 --> 01:50:39,128
a relative term. But I think

3221
01:50:39,128 --> 01:50:42,728
that you have worked to handle

3222
01:50:42,899 --> 01:50:44,100
these issues in a significant

3223
01:50:44,100 --> 01:50:44,934
way. And I appreciate that.

3224
01:50:44,934 --> 01:50:46,469
Not all chiefs over the years

3225
01:50:46,469 --> 01:50:49,405
have been able to do so. And

3226
01:50:49,405 --> 01:50:50,740
so I think it's a great a

3227
01:50:50,740 --> 01:50:52,474
tribute to your leadership

3228
01:50:53,143 --> 01:50:53,810
style thus far. I would like

3229
01:50:53,810 --> 01:50:56,480
to talk about the 10 hour

3230
01:50:56,480 --> 01:50:59,480
work. That the shift to 10

3231
01:51:01,951 --> 01:51:03,254
hours. Some of the concerns

3232
01:51:03,254 --> 01:51:03,987
I've heard in the Perry

3233
01:51:03,987 --> 01:51:06,257
Township community and I don't

3234
01:51:06,257 --> 01:51:07,490
believe them to be true, but I

3235
01:51:07,490 --> 01:51:09,893
just thought maybe you could

3236
01:51:09,893 --> 01:51:10,594
talk to those the South side.

3237
01:51:10,594 --> 01:51:14,194
The idea would be that you're

3238
01:51:16,734 --> 01:51:17,567
able to. Shifts together in a

3239
01:51:17,567 --> 01:51:18,268
way that would provide

3240
01:51:18,268 --> 01:51:20,668
additional officers and some

3241
01:51:21,571 --> 01:51:23,340
of those peak times. The

3242
01:51:23,340 --> 01:51:25,477
concern that I've heard is

3243
01:51:25,477 --> 01:51:28,477
that those non peak times

3244
01:51:29,800 --> 01:51:29,813
would have less officers and

3245
01:51:29,813 --> 01:51:32,550
therefore less manpower on the

3246
01:51:32,550 --> 01:51:34,652
streets. It's safe to say that

3247
01:51:34,652 --> 01:51:37,652
even though we've moved to

3248
01:51:38,550 --> 01:51:41,250
these 10 hour shifts, then our

3249
01:51:41,250 --> 01:51:41,725
residents can be assured that

3250
01:51:41,725 --> 01:51:43,527
the quality of their policing

3251
01:51:43,527 --> 01:51:44,261
would not be diminished

3252
01:51:44,261 --> 01:51:46,297
regardless of what shift would

3253
01:51:46,297 --> 01:51:48,465
be. That's correct. That's

3254
01:51:48,465 --> 01:51:51,465
correct. Then an the hours

3255
01:51:53,470 --> 01:51:54,171
that are. The lowest staffing

3256
01:51:54,171 --> 01:51:56,571
are typically between 02:00am

3257
01:51:57,875 --> 01:52:00,511
and 06:00am and that shift

3258
01:52:00,511 --> 01:52:01,245
that gets off around 02:00am

3259
01:52:01,245 --> 01:52:02,746
inevitably is prepared to stay

3260
01:52:02,746 --> 01:52:05,146
over. If there's something

3261
01:52:05,450 --> 01:52:06,550
significant going on in the

3262
01:52:06,550 --> 01:52:08,652
city. So those are the hours

3263
01:52:08,652 --> 01:52:11,652
that we're talking about when

3264
01:52:12,323 --> 01:52:12,891
most neighbors are our sleep

3265
01:52:12,891 --> 01:52:15,291
and the officers and

3266
01:52:17,328 --> 01:52:18,620
supervisors always have if

3267
01:52:18,620 --> 01:52:20,462
there's some significant event

3268
01:52:22,733 --> 01:52:23,467
or incident happening, we can.

3269
01:52:23,467 --> 01:52:26,303
Differ low priority calls to a

3270
01:52:26,303 --> 01:52:27,739
later time. Right before we

3271
01:52:27,739 --> 01:52:30,740
can take an online report, we

3272
01:52:30,740 --> 01:52:31,909
can take a low low priority

3273
01:52:31,909 --> 01:52:33,845
call at a later time and

3274
01:52:33,845 --> 01:52:35,120
different and handle

3275
01:52:35,120 --> 01:52:37,412
emergencies. Our main priority

3276
01:52:38,150 --> 01:52:39,116
is keeping our residents safe

3277
01:52:39,116 --> 01:52:41,219
and they should know that when

3278
01:52:41,219 --> 01:52:44,819
they call 9-1-1. Impd will

3279
01:52:45,222 --> 01:52:46,224
show up for them. So

3280
01:52:46,224 --> 01:52:47,525
regardless of how we

3281
01:52:47,525 --> 01:52:48,159
strategically allocate that

3282
01:52:48,159 --> 01:52:50,662
staffing and how we have

3283
01:52:50,662 --> 01:52:52,620
stacked the shifts, we've have

3284
01:52:52,620 --> 01:52:54,620
strategically stack those

3285
01:52:54,632 --> 01:52:55,467
shifts to give us the most

3286
01:52:55,467 --> 01:52:57,867
coverage during our highest

3287
01:52:59,404 --> 01:53:00,705
volume of calls for service. I

3288
01:53:00,705 --> 01:53:01,539
appreciate that. Chief I I pd

3289
01:53:01,539 --> 01:53:04,976
and impd of always, I think to

3290
01:53:04,976 --> 01:53:06,378
a great job with what and

3291
01:53:06,378 --> 01:53:08,778
sometimes it's called creative

3292
01:53:10,482 --> 01:53:11,249
scheduling in the 1980, 7 Pan

3293
01:53:11,249 --> 01:53:13,885
American Games and today impd.

3294
01:53:13,885 --> 01:53:14,819
So we sent a fabulous job

3295
01:53:14,819 --> 01:53:16,521
throughout Indianapolis and

3296
01:53:16,521 --> 01:53:18,823
Marion County. Expect that to

3297
01:53:18,823 --> 01:53:20,525
continue. Do you anticipate

3298
01:53:20,525 --> 01:53:22,394
with the way that those 10

3299
01:53:22,394 --> 01:53:23,610
hour shifts will be working,

3300
01:53:23,610 --> 01:53:23,763
that things that some of my

3301
01:53:23,763 --> 01:53:25,130
colleagues have talked about

3302
01:53:25,130 --> 01:53:27,130
like increased traffic

3303
01:53:27,166 --> 01:53:28,367
patrols. Do you see more

3304
01:53:28,367 --> 01:53:30,302
opportunities for those type

3305
01:53:30,302 --> 01:53:32,304
of control, those type of

3306
01:53:32,304 --> 01:53:32,938
practices due to the fact

3307
01:53:32,938 --> 01:53:33,605
there might be additional

3308
01:53:33,605 --> 01:53:37,205
officers on the beat at one

3309
01:53:37,609 --> 01:53:38,610
time. Yes, as a matter of

3310
01:53:38,610 --> 01:53:39,311
fact, one of the benefits

3311
01:53:39,311 --> 01:53:42,311
can't believe. I did mention

3312
01:53:42,714 --> 01:53:43,448
this before. Now some of my

3313
01:53:43,448 --> 01:53:44,683
staff is probably screaming at

3314
01:53:44,683 --> 01:53:48,860
me and their heads for not

3315
01:53:48,860 --> 01:53:49,187
saying earlier. One of the

3316
01:53:49,187 --> 01:53:51,156
benefits of the 10. Our model

3317
01:53:51,156 --> 01:53:52,257
is that ever so often there's

3318
01:53:52,257 --> 01:53:53,191
what we call an overlap day.

3319
01:53:53,191 --> 01:53:55,293
And that's when all the

3320
01:53:55,293 --> 01:53:55,961
staffing is all the officers

3321
01:53:55,961 --> 01:53:59,561
are are working at the same

3322
01:54:01,633 --> 01:54:04,633
time. So that affords our

3323
01:54:04,770 --> 01:54:06,571
officers to do more proactive

3324
01:54:06,571 --> 01:54:08,573
projects and affords beat

3325
01:54:08,573 --> 01:54:09,374
officers to tackle a an issue

3326
01:54:09,374 --> 01:54:09,941
in their particular beat or

3327
01:54:09,941 --> 01:54:12,341
their zone with their

3328
01:54:13,246 --> 01:54:14,347
partners. Maybe it's they get

3329
01:54:14,347 --> 01:54:15,480
an undercover car and they

3330
01:54:15,480 --> 01:54:17,817
catch a burglar or maybe it is

3331
01:54:17,817 --> 01:54:20,217
a traffic enforcement detail.

3332
01:54:21,554 --> 01:54:22,555
But they have all shared

3333
01:54:22,555 --> 01:54:24,156
feedback that those overlap

3334
01:54:24,156 --> 01:54:27,156
days or something that they

3335
01:54:28,600 --> 01:54:30,290
enjoy. We're staffing is is

3336
01:54:30,290 --> 01:54:33,290
this heavier? They have more

3337
01:54:33,833 --> 01:54:34,934
flexibility and then obese or

3338
01:54:34,934 --> 01:54:35,834
fuller. They're also

3339
01:54:35,834 --> 01:54:36,736
opportunity for us to provide

3340
01:54:36,736 --> 01:54:37,670
some additional training on

3341
01:54:37,670 --> 01:54:40,670
those overlap days because we

3342
01:54:41,140 --> 01:54:41,974
get the whole shift together.

3343
01:54:41,974 --> 01:54:43,776
Nobody is on their days off

3344
01:54:43,776 --> 01:54:44,477
unless they've taken time off.

3345
01:54:44,477 --> 01:54:48,770
So the overlap days do offer

3346
01:54:48,314 --> 01:54:51,170
that from time to time. And

3347
01:54:51,170 --> 01:54:51,717
it's not a set schedule. So

3348
01:54:51,717 --> 01:54:53,352
you can't really predict and

3349
01:54:53,352 --> 01:54:55,888
we can. But it shouldn't be

3350
01:54:55,888 --> 01:54:56,622
noticeable to the public. I

3351
01:54:56,622 --> 01:54:59,592
just think that's so important

3352
01:54:59,592 --> 01:55:00,226
to know that them there are

3353
01:55:00,226 --> 01:55:02,226
those opportunities, new

3354
01:55:02,795 --> 01:55:05,195
opportunities that will exist

3355
01:55:07,199 --> 01:55:07,900
with these overlap days, too

3356
01:55:07,900 --> 01:55:08,601
increase different areas MAY

3357
01:55:08,601 --> 01:55:11,504
be that we aren't always able

3358
01:55:11,504 --> 01:55:12,405
to focus on. Not only is it

3359
01:55:12,405 --> 01:55:14,805
overwhelmingly popular by rank

3360
01:55:16,275 --> 01:55:17,900
and file officers. I think it

3361
01:55:17,900 --> 01:55:18,844
also has an opportunity to

3362
01:55:18,844 --> 01:55:21,244
build camaraderie amongst the

3363
01:55:21,280 --> 01:55:21,982
troops as well. So I think

3364
01:55:21,982 --> 01:55:23,490
it's a positive step. I think

3365
01:55:23,490 --> 01:55:25,151
it's good that the

3366
01:55:25,151 --> 01:55:25,886
administration has moved this

3367
01:55:25,886 --> 01:55:28,688
way and I'm so happy that the

3368
01:55:28,688 --> 01:55:29,523
that the rank and file have

3369
01:55:29,523 --> 01:55:31,230
also show overwhelming

3370
01:55:31,230 --> 01:55:33,492
support. So I look forward to

3371
01:55:33,492 --> 01:55:35,270
seeing how that works. I think

3372
01:55:35,270 --> 01:55:36,960
it also gives us the ability

3373
01:55:36,960 --> 01:55:38,898
to really continue to go back

3374
01:55:38,898 --> 01:55:39,600
to the community place,

3375
01:55:39,600 --> 01:55:41,701
community policing style that

3376
01:55:41,701 --> 01:55:43,769
maybe we saw back in the 90's

3377
01:55:43,769 --> 01:55:44,770
where we see officers walking

3378
01:55:44,770 --> 01:55:47,170
neighborhoods again. And I

3379
01:55:47,773 --> 01:55:48,842
know it's so hard when we have

3380
01:55:48,842 --> 01:55:49,543
a deficits on numbers, but

3381
01:55:49,543 --> 01:55:51,543
nevertheless, very important

3382
01:55:52,120 --> 01:55:53,946
to continue to strive for. My

3383
01:55:53,946 --> 01:55:56,582
last question is just you

3384
01:55:56,582 --> 01:55:57,284
mentioned that 3 recruits, the

3385
01:55:57,284 --> 01:56:00,284
largest class and in 4 years,

3386
01:56:03,550 --> 01:56:06,550
it's trending up folks. Submit

3387
01:56:06,760 --> 01:56:08,595
their application to join impd

3388
01:56:08,595 --> 01:56:10,864
in that initial process. Do

3389
01:56:10,864 --> 01:56:14,902
you ask them what led them to?

3390
01:56:14,902 --> 01:56:16,904
Take that step? And if so, is

3391
01:56:16,904 --> 01:56:17,871
there anything that you've

3392
01:56:17,871 --> 01:56:18,839
noticed that the council, the

3393
01:56:18,839 --> 01:56:19,506
police department, the

3394
01:56:19,506 --> 01:56:21,506
administration, has been

3395
01:56:22,376 --> 01:56:23,343
investing in seems to be

3396
01:56:23,343 --> 01:56:25,879
paying off in the greatest way

3397
01:56:25,879 --> 01:56:28,782
or is it more of them next?

3398
01:56:28,782 --> 01:56:31,782
Thank you for that question.

3399
01:56:32,190 --> 01:56:33,820
That is something that we have

3400
01:56:33,820 --> 01:56:35,956
recently implemented as a part

3401
01:56:35,956 --> 01:56:37,157
of re envisioning our hiring

3402
01:56:37,157 --> 01:56:37,758
process in our recruitment and

3403
01:56:37,758 --> 01:56:39,758
retention strategies is

3404
01:56:40,270 --> 01:56:41,828
getting that data from our

3405
01:56:41,828 --> 01:56:43,331
applicants. And from our new

3406
01:56:43,331 --> 01:56:46,331
hires, we just got surveys

3407
01:56:46,900 --> 01:56:48,200
back from the last class that

3408
01:56:48,200 --> 01:56:51,200
we swear-in and we've had

3409
01:56:52,806 --> 01:56:53,607
discussions about going back 2

3410
01:56:53,607 --> 01:56:56,700
classes the last several

3411
01:56:56,810 --> 01:56:57,444
classes and trying to get that

3412
01:56:57,444 --> 01:56:58,579
same information. That's

3413
01:56:58,579 --> 01:57:00,647
something as we started

3414
01:57:00,647 --> 01:57:02,816
evaluating our recruiting or

3415
01:57:02,816 --> 01:57:04,618
retention, that we were really

3416
01:57:04,618 --> 01:57:05,353
missing was data that would

3417
01:57:05,353 --> 01:57:07,753
help guide our decision-making

3418
01:57:09,556 --> 01:57:10,390
on. What was bringing people

3419
01:57:10,390 --> 01:57:13,390
through the And it totally

3420
01:57:13,827 --> 01:57:15,630
it's a heart to serve. We are

3421
01:57:15,630 --> 01:57:16,964
seeking people who have a

3422
01:57:16,964 --> 01:57:18,266
heart to make an impact in

3423
01:57:18,266 --> 01:57:19,866
their community. And that

3424
01:57:19,866 --> 01:57:20,534
takes a special person to step

3425
01:57:20,534 --> 01:57:24,380
up step forward and do that

3426
01:57:24,380 --> 01:57:26,106
right now. So I'm happy to

3427
01:57:26,106 --> 01:57:26,807
follow up ongoing with

3428
01:57:26,807 --> 01:57:28,810
communication with you as we

3429
01:57:28,810 --> 01:57:29,543
get some additional data from

3430
01:57:29,543 --> 01:57:31,578
those surveys as we go further

3431
01:57:31,578 --> 01:57:34,578
back recruit classes with that

3432
01:57:34,849 --> 01:57:35,617
information. I appreciate

3433
01:57:35,617 --> 01:57:36,316
that. Chief. I think that is

3434
01:57:36,316 --> 01:57:38,716
critically important when the

3435
01:57:39,220 --> 01:57:40,388
council has talked about

3436
01:57:40,388 --> 01:57:41,356
things specifically with the

3437
01:57:41,356 --> 01:57:43,190
American rescue plan. And when

3438
01:57:43,190 --> 01:57:45,960
we had dollars available and

3439
01:57:45,960 --> 01:57:46,527
we made efforts to invest in a

3440
01:57:46,527 --> 01:57:48,527
variety of different

3441
01:57:49,898 --> 01:57:51,898
initiatives and programs.

3442
01:57:51,966 --> 01:57:53,201
Obviously, we have to use data

3443
01:57:53,201 --> 01:57:55,737
and sorts of methods to be

3444
01:57:55,737 --> 01:57:56,437
able to determine simply what

3445
01:57:56,437 --> 01:57:59,437
was what wasn't effective in

3446
01:57:59,842 --> 01:58:00,508
the truth is this city for

3447
01:58:00,508 --> 01:58:02,844
many years like any other

3448
01:58:02,844 --> 01:58:03,578
major city across America.

3449
01:58:03,578 --> 01:58:06,681
Going to invest in things that

3450
01:58:06,681 --> 01:58:07,482
don't always work. But in the

3451
01:58:07,482 --> 01:58:08,149
same respect, they're going to

3452
01:58:08,149 --> 01:58:11,149
be investing in things that

3453
01:58:12,620 --> 01:58:13,988
are so significant for the

3454
01:58:13,988 --> 01:58:15,690
forward progress of their

3455
01:58:15,690 --> 01:58:17,792
city. And so I think we have a

3456
01:58:17,792 --> 01:58:19,260
better idea of what those

3457
01:58:19,260 --> 01:58:22,260
sayings are coming from. Those

3458
01:58:22,697 --> 01:58:23,765
applicants. It will give here

3459
01:58:23,765 --> 01:58:26,765
at the council, a greater

3460
01:58:27,335 --> 01:58:29,604
ability to ensure that those

3461
01:58:29,604 --> 01:58:30,338
areas are fully to ensure that

3462
01:58:30,338 --> 01:58:32,774
we continue to see that upward

3463
01:58:32,774 --> 01:58:36,374
trend. Thank you. You can also

3464
01:58:37,679 --> 01:58:38,479
make Michael part. Thank you,

3465
01:58:38,479 --> 01:58:39,214
CHAIRMAN. Thank you, chief for

3466
01:58:39,214 --> 01:58:41,614
the presentation. First always

3467
01:58:43,152 --> 01:58:44,520
say. I'm extremely grateful

3468
01:58:44,520 --> 01:58:45,186
for impd the work. You do a

3469
01:58:45,186 --> 01:58:47,550
leadership in the room, but

3470
01:58:47,550 --> 01:58:50,259
also the folks that out on the

3471
01:58:50,259 --> 01:58:50,825
street. I had a lot of

3472
01:58:50,825 --> 01:58:51,526
opportunity to enter

3473
01:58:51,526 --> 01:58:52,728
engagement both through round

3474
01:58:52,728 --> 01:58:55,196
tables. I've hosted. I've been

3475
01:58:55,196 --> 01:58:57,596
to small business group

3476
01:58:59,201 --> 01:58:59,902
conversations I've done ride

3477
01:58:59,902 --> 01:59:02,902
Alongs. Tattoo events to hear

3478
01:59:03,338 --> 01:59:04,380
directly from the community.

3479
01:59:04,380 --> 01:59:04,907
And, you know, the sentiment

3480
01:59:04,907 --> 01:59:08,507
rings true. I'm talking to the

3481
01:59:09,110 --> 01:59:10,345
community. They want basically

3482
01:59:10,345 --> 01:59:10,913
what you expect out of

3483
01:59:10,913 --> 01:59:12,681
government. Her core

3484
01:59:12,681 --> 01:59:13,882
foundation is is public safety

3485
01:59:13,882 --> 01:59:14,583
nets. Impd is a part of that.

3486
01:59:14,583 --> 01:59:16,919
The fire department's part of

3487
01:59:16,919 --> 01:59:17,953
that g m s even dpw is a part

3488
01:59:17,953 --> 01:59:20,353
of that economic development

3489
01:59:21,390 --> 01:59:22,191
is part of that. But you carry

3490
01:59:22,191 --> 01:59:25,600
the brunt of is. There's a lot

3491
01:59:25,600 --> 01:59:28,600
of expectations on impd in

3492
01:59:28,130 --> 01:59:28,831
every single one of those

3493
01:59:28,831 --> 01:59:29,531
officers that are there that

3494
01:59:29,531 --> 01:59:32,234
want to talk to constituents,

3495
01:59:32,234 --> 01:59:33,736
they want the same thing they

3496
01:59:33,736 --> 01:59:34,436
want drugs off the street.

3497
01:59:34,436 --> 01:59:35,471
They want guns off the street

3498
01:59:35,471 --> 01:59:36,605
and they want criminals off

3499
01:59:36,605 --> 01:59:40,205
the street and it's your job

3500
01:59:40,342 --> 01:59:41,510
to do that. And that's the

3501
01:59:41,510 --> 01:59:43,780
hard job. That is a very hard

3502
01:59:43,780 --> 01:59:43,746
job to do. And I'm I'm

3503
01:59:43,746 --> 01:59:46,115
grateful that every single

3504
01:59:46,115 --> 01:59:46,782
officer we have is doing that

3505
01:59:46,782 --> 01:59:47,416
want to sound like a broken

3506
01:59:47,416 --> 01:59:50,352
record, not just on scene

3507
01:59:50,352 --> 01:59:53,952
already. What I talk to you

3508
01:59:54,390 --> 01:59:55,900
about all the time and this is

3509
01:59:55,900 --> 01:59:55,758
a very interesting historical

3510
01:59:55,758 --> 01:59:56,425
staffing locum. I encourage

3511
01:59:56,425 --> 02:00:00,250
everybody to take a look at

3512
02:00:00,930 --> 02:00:03,599
it. Well, I'm going through

3513
02:00:03,599 --> 02:00:04,300
this. So in 2020 2021, our

3514
02:00:04,300 --> 02:00:05,350
peak officers for the history

3515
02:00:05,350 --> 02:00:06,268
in this document potential the

3516
02:00:06,268 --> 02:00:07,870
history of Indianapolis. We

3517
02:00:07,870 --> 02:00:10,870
have the highest number of

3518
02:00:11,273 --> 02:00:12,408
officers 17. 24, but there's a

3519
02:00:12,408 --> 02:00:15,408
trend starting in 2020 all the

3520
02:00:15,945 --> 02:00:18,881
way to now. And there is an

3521
02:00:18,881 --> 02:00:19,548
average that we're losing 60

3522
02:00:19,548 --> 02:00:21,750
officers every year. Worst

3523
02:00:21,750 --> 02:00:24,253
year with 74 officers. And I'm

3524
02:00:24,253 --> 02:00:24,954
I'm really curious what out a

3525
02:00:24,954 --> 02:00:25,589
lot of change since 2020. We

3526
02:00:25,589 --> 02:00:28,589
all know what happened in

3527
02:00:29,191 --> 02:00:31,591
2020. On average loss of 60.

3528
02:00:33,280 --> 02:00:36,280
What is the split between

3529
02:00:41,771 --> 02:00:43,773
retirement and attrition. I

3530
02:00:43,773 --> 02:00:45,942
don't have the breakdown of

3531
02:00:45,942 --> 02:00:46,643
retirement versus just

3532
02:00:46,643 --> 02:00:47,377
separation, but I can follow

3533
02:00:47,377 --> 02:00:50,512
up with you and provide that

3534
02:00:50,512 --> 02:00:52,449
data that historical. Fairly

3535
02:00:52,449 --> 02:00:53,490
sure we have records of that

3536
02:00:53,490 --> 02:00:55,518
so I I can give you the

3537
02:00:55,518 --> 02:00:56,152
breakdown of it. Yeah. And I

3538
02:00:56,152 --> 02:00:58,455
think is really important

3539
02:00:58,455 --> 02:01:00,557
because folks are are aging

3540
02:01:00,557 --> 02:01:01,758
out. All right. You have a

3541
02:01:01,758 --> 02:01:02,492
particular issue. If you're I

3542
02:01:02,492 --> 02:01:04,940
mean, you MAY know the average

3543
02:01:04,940 --> 02:01:07,464
age of your officers and if

3544
02:01:07,464 --> 02:01:08,498
it's over 50. That's a

3545
02:01:08,498 --> 02:01:09,232
problem, right? And then it's

3546
02:01:09,232 --> 02:01:10,567
going to indicate that there's

3547
02:01:10,567 --> 02:01:11,601
there's probably more people

3548
02:01:11,601 --> 02:01:13,904
retiring. But if it's

3549
02:01:13,904 --> 02:01:16,304
attrition, it's that that

3550
02:01:16,406 --> 02:01:18,341
we're losing officers to

3551
02:01:18,341 --> 02:01:19,420
surrounding areas for

3552
02:01:19,420 --> 02:01:19,744
particular reason. You know,

3553
02:01:19,744 --> 02:01:23,380
part of me, I believe is that

3554
02:01:23,380 --> 02:01:24,140
particular reason is they

3555
02:01:24,140 --> 02:01:24,714
don't feel that they are

3556
02:01:24,714 --> 02:01:28,180
they're wanted in the city as

3557
02:01:28,180 --> 02:01:28,618
a whole. And that is a lot of

3558
02:01:28,618 --> 02:01:30,887
the sentiment that I've

3559
02:01:30,887 --> 02:01:32,220
working with with officers.

3560
02:01:32,220 --> 02:01:34,925
And I think ultimately has to

3561
02:01:34,925 --> 02:01:36,326
be a big part. Allard know

3562
02:01:36,326 --> 02:01:38,726
their recruitment, but the

3563
02:01:39,362 --> 02:01:40,196
retain Mont portion of the

3564
02:01:40,196 --> 02:01:42,566
strategy with an impd which

3565
02:01:42,566 --> 02:01:43,767
leads me to my next question.

3566
02:01:43,767 --> 02:01:46,767
You put together the strategic

3567
02:01:47,504 --> 02:01:49,306
plan and in that I'm confident

3568
02:01:49,306 --> 02:01:51,141
there is a recruitment

3569
02:01:51,141 --> 02:01:51,841
retention plan. What are the

3570
02:01:51,841 --> 02:01:54,544
measurable goals that are set

3571
02:01:54,544 --> 02:01:58,140
out within that? So we can

3572
02:01:58,140 --> 02:02:00,918
start seeing one a loss in

3573
02:02:00,918 --> 02:02:02,218
officers, but to again, well,

3574
02:02:02,218 --> 02:02:03,219
just just getting to a net

3575
02:02:03,219 --> 02:02:06,819
gain every year, I suppose to

3576
02:02:07,792 --> 02:02:10,161
be and important first step.

3577
02:02:10,161 --> 02:02:10,895
Yes, some of the things that I

3578
02:02:10,895 --> 02:02:12,895
discussed during the

3579
02:02:14,764 --> 02:02:15,532
presentation on recruitment

3580
02:02:15,532 --> 02:02:17,168
and retention. We're getting

3581
02:02:17,168 --> 02:02:21,338
the data that we need to make

3582
02:02:21,338 --> 02:02:23,740
those decisions tracking what

3583
02:02:23,740 --> 02:02:23,773
is working in our recruitment

3584
02:02:23,773 --> 02:02:26,773
strategies. When I talk about

3585
02:02:27,177 --> 02:02:29,879
returns on investments, we are

3586
02:02:29,879 --> 02:02:30,513
continually engaging those

3587
02:02:30,513 --> 02:02:31,315
applicants and then using

3588
02:02:31,315 --> 02:02:31,949
these surveys and these

3589
02:02:31,949 --> 02:02:34,349
questionnaires to try to

3590
02:02:35,286 --> 02:02:35,953
identify. First of all, how

3591
02:02:35,953 --> 02:02:38,357
did you hear about us? What

3592
02:02:38,357 --> 02:02:41,357
brought you through the door?

3593
02:02:42,930 --> 02:02:42,793
What are the specific? What do

3594
02:02:42,793 --> 02:02:46,264
you think? How long you think

3595
02:02:46,264 --> 02:02:49,000
you're going to stay here?

3596
02:02:49,000 --> 02:02:50,100
What things about do you like

3597
02:02:50,100 --> 02:02:50,668
that are bringing needs

3598
02:02:50,668 --> 02:02:53,680
through the door? Certainly

3599
02:02:53,170 --> 02:02:55,570
there's a difference between

3600
02:02:56,274 --> 02:02:57,341
big city policing and rural

3601
02:02:57,341 --> 02:03:00,645
policing and to speak to your

3602
02:03:00,645 --> 02:03:01,379
first question. It is a

3603
02:03:01,379 --> 02:03:02,413
combination of retirements and

3604
02:03:02,413 --> 02:03:04,813
resignations. I'll tell you

3605
02:03:05,683 --> 02:03:07,785
that. We've also seen several

3606
02:03:07,785 --> 02:03:09,887
officers that have left our

3607
02:03:09,887 --> 02:03:10,855
agency who have also returned

3608
02:03:10,855 --> 02:03:12,757
to our agency after leaving

3609
02:03:12,757 --> 02:03:15,493
and going to a different

3610
02:03:15,493 --> 02:03:16,160
agency. So I think that's

3611
02:03:16,160 --> 02:03:18,463
indicative of sometimes the

3612
02:03:18,463 --> 02:03:22,630
grass MAY appear to be greener

3613
02:03:22,133 --> 02:03:23,301
on the other side and then you

3614
02:03:23,301 --> 02:03:24,468
have to use your lived

3615
02:03:24,468 --> 02:03:25,503
experience and make a decision

3616
02:03:25,503 --> 02:03:26,700
that's best for you and your

3617
02:03:26,700 --> 02:03:27,710
family. And that has

3618
02:03:27,710 --> 02:03:29,273
ultimately led some officers

3619
02:03:29,273 --> 02:03:32,443
back to impd. One of the

3620
02:03:32,443 --> 02:03:34,745
things that I always talk

3621
02:03:34,745 --> 02:03:36,745
about amongst officers,

3622
02:03:36,847 --> 02:03:37,515
especially officers who don't

3623
02:03:37,515 --> 02:03:39,684
have exposure sometimes to

3624
02:03:39,684 --> 02:03:40,351
other jurisdictions. Other

3625
02:03:40,351 --> 02:03:41,520
police officers from other

3626
02:03:41,520 --> 02:03:43,452
agencies. Networking is very

3627
02:03:44,555 --> 02:03:46,955
important. Thankfully, I have

3628
02:03:48,326 --> 02:03:50,494
that opportunity. And when I

3629
02:03:50,494 --> 02:03:51,562
see hear about things that are

3630
02:03:51,562 --> 02:03:52,430
happening in other

3631
02:03:52,430 --> 02:03:52,964
jurisdictions and things that

3632
02:03:52,964 --> 02:03:54,964
other agencies are

3633
02:03:57,735 --> 02:03:58,437
experiencing are doing. It's

3634
02:03:58,437 --> 02:04:00,372
very apparent to me the impd

3635
02:04:00,372 --> 02:04:02,341
is doing a lot of things right

3636
02:04:02,341 --> 02:04:03,410
already. We do set the

3637
02:04:03,410 --> 02:04:04,976
standard in many ways. We are

3638
02:04:04,976 --> 02:04:07,179
one of the best agencies in

3639
02:04:07,179 --> 02:04:07,878
the country. We are trying to

3640
02:04:07,878 --> 02:04:10,878
measure those things. We are

3641
02:04:11,480 --> 02:04:11,683
using for second deputies.

3642
02:04:11,683 --> 02:04:15,283
Again, I need you guys to

3643
02:04:16,922 --> 02:04:19,322
watch the audience because

3644
02:04:21,627 --> 02:04:22,361
they got to got to got to go

3645
02:04:22,361 --> 02:04:25,961
deputy's to go deputy. Yes, to

3646
02:04:28,660 --> 02:04:28,767
go. Minute. We made it very

3647
02:04:28,767 --> 02:04:31,303
clear. Had chance as they got

3648
02:04:31,303 --> 02:04:33,303
to go.

3649
02:04:39,278 --> 02:04:42,878
And deputies, why are you guys

3650
02:04:45,484 --> 02:04:49,840
doing there? He has to go

3651
02:04:52,224 --> 02:04:54,660
settle to you. Got to go

3652
02:04:54,660 --> 02:04:56,660
MISTER MISTER

3653
02:05:22,688 --> 02:05:25,880
You have to go

3654
02:05:41,173 --> 02:05:43,173
in

3655
02:05:51,651 --> 02:05:53,651
Thank you

3656
02:06:01,828 --> 02:06:03,828
all still in

3657
02:06:23,549 --> 02:06:27,149
deputy. Was he still here? You

3658
02:06:44,437 --> 02:06:48,370
can go out this door a

3659
02:07:21,941 --> 02:07:23,941
to

3660
02:07:30,170 --> 02:07:30,951
continue. Its CHAIRMAN.

3661
02:07:30,951 --> 02:07:31,952
Councilor heart of the other

3662
02:07:31,952 --> 02:07:32,620
part of my answer, your

3663
02:07:32,620 --> 02:07:35,200
question, is that something

3664
02:07:35,222 --> 02:07:38,250
that we've also been doing?

3665
02:07:38,250 --> 02:07:40,425
It's on those separations

3666
02:07:40,694 --> 02:07:42,796
refining our exit interviews,

3667
02:07:42,796 --> 02:07:44,331
making that data that we can

3668
02:07:44,331 --> 02:07:45,966
use so that we can go back.

3669
02:07:45,966 --> 02:07:46,967
And if there are retention

3670
02:07:46,967 --> 02:07:49,904
issues that that the agency

3671
02:07:49,904 --> 02:07:51,872
has control over, we want to

3672
02:07:51,872 --> 02:07:53,700
proactively address those

3673
02:07:53,700 --> 02:07:55,407
issues internally and continue

3674
02:07:55,743 --> 02:07:56,677
to make this agency an agency

3675
02:07:56,677 --> 02:07:58,379
that our officers choose to be

3676
02:07:58,379 --> 02:08:01,379
choose to continue to serve

3677
02:08:01,416 --> 02:08:02,349
and want to be here. So those

3678
02:08:02,349 --> 02:08:03,484
are things that we have

3679
02:08:03,484 --> 02:08:05,486
identified to the course of

3680
02:08:05,486 --> 02:08:06,520
this year through the

3681
02:08:06,520 --> 02:08:07,121
implementation of the streets,

3682
02:08:07,121 --> 02:08:09,521
strategic plan and any

3683
02:08:10,324 --> 02:08:11,250
measurables out of that.

3684
02:08:11,250 --> 02:08:13,270
Again, you and counselor I'm

3685
02:08:13,270 --> 02:08:13,727
happy to have those ongoing

3686
02:08:13,727 --> 02:08:16,727
conversations with you so we

3687
02:08:16,830 --> 02:08:17,498
can work together to identify

3688
02:08:17,498 --> 02:08:18,132
what the issues are. And if

3689
02:08:18,132 --> 02:08:20,532
there's things within our

3690
02:08:22,169 --> 02:08:22,870
control Thank you all wrapped

3691
02:08:22,870 --> 02:08:24,238
up with MR. CHAIRMAN is that,

3692
02:08:24,238 --> 02:08:27,241
you know, I've. I've got a

3693
02:08:27,241 --> 02:08:29,410
business and where but the

3694
02:08:29,410 --> 02:08:32,314
types of folks that I got to I

3695
02:08:32,314 --> 02:08:33,147
can't hire experience. People

3696
02:08:33,147 --> 02:08:33,815
write that if they were there

3697
02:08:33,815 --> 02:08:35,150
already said they're happy.

3698
02:08:35,150 --> 02:08:35,817
They're in their ways. We hire

3699
02:08:35,817 --> 02:08:36,450
folks. We have to get them

3700
02:08:36,450 --> 02:08:37,184
when there are new to the

3701
02:08:37,184 --> 02:08:40,187
career and trying you know, we

3702
02:08:40,187 --> 02:08:41,590
actually have to go find them

3703
02:08:41,590 --> 02:08:42,256
in schools and bring them

3704
02:08:42,256 --> 02:08:44,759
create our own pipeline of

3705
02:08:44,759 --> 02:08:46,126
recruitment. I think. You

3706
02:08:46,126 --> 02:08:48,630
know, from my observation,

3707
02:08:48,630 --> 02:08:48,963
that's our biggest opportunity

3708
02:08:48,963 --> 02:08:49,663
for growth here in the city is

3709
02:08:49,663 --> 02:08:53,234
how do we create a pipeline?

3710
02:08:53,234 --> 02:08:54,369
And I say that having gone to

3711
02:08:54,369 --> 02:08:54,935
a career in technical school

3712
02:08:54,935 --> 02:08:57,239
where at that current

3713
02:08:57,239 --> 02:08:57,938
technical school, there was an

3714
02:08:57,938 --> 02:09:00,608
option, 4 ifd not. I do. But

3715
02:09:00,608 --> 02:09:03,745
to be a fireman, there is an

3716
02:09:03,745 --> 02:09:06,145
opportunity ms, but there's

3717
02:09:06,748 --> 02:09:08,116
not an opportunity to find a

3718
02:09:08,116 --> 02:09:09,751
role impd. And I I realize you

3719
02:09:09,751 --> 02:09:12,954
can't be an impd officer at 18

3720
02:09:12,954 --> 02:09:14,256
years old, right? But what are

3721
02:09:14,256 --> 02:09:14,923
other ways that we can start

3722
02:09:14,923 --> 02:09:17,323
getting folks acclimated to

3723
02:09:19,761 --> 02:09:21,931
what that looks like. At age

3724
02:09:21,931 --> 02:09:23,932
of career and technical are an

3725
02:09:23,932 --> 02:09:24,633
option because if we don't

3726
02:09:24,633 --> 02:09:25,233
start creating that pipeline,

3727
02:09:25,233 --> 02:09:28,233
I think we're going to

3728
02:09:28,937 --> 02:09:30,138
continue to see just a

3729
02:09:30,138 --> 02:09:31,139
decrease of officers for a

3730
02:09:31,139 --> 02:09:31,706
long time coming. And I think

3731
02:09:31,706 --> 02:09:33,508
there's been a lot of

3732
02:09:33,508 --> 02:09:35,508
precedent because they're

3733
02:09:35,510 --> 02:09:36,244
zeroes on that same chart to

3734
02:09:36,244 --> 02:09:38,280
the right, which means there's

3735
02:09:38,280 --> 02:09:39,314
years that we didn't hire

3736
02:09:39,314 --> 02:09:41,116
officers, which those years

3737
02:09:41,116 --> 02:09:44,850
that we froze hiring, which

3738
02:09:44,850 --> 02:09:45,253
hurt us in the future. So, you

3739
02:09:45,253 --> 02:09:46,870
know, there's a lot of things

3740
02:09:46,870 --> 02:09:47,722
that have got us to this point

3741
02:09:47,722 --> 02:09:48,423
today. But I think we're gonna

3742
02:09:48,423 --> 02:09:49,991
have to figure out a creative

3743
02:09:49,991 --> 02:09:50,692
strategy of create a pipeline

3744
02:09:50,692 --> 02:09:53,692
for Ghana. But those numbers

3745
02:09:55,196 --> 02:09:55,864
up in the future. Yes,

3746
02:09:55,864 --> 02:09:57,999
counselor can agree more. I

3747
02:09:57,999 --> 02:10:01,336
would like to mention that we

3748
02:10:01,336 --> 02:10:02,237
do have a cadet program while

3749
02:10:02,237 --> 02:10:03,972
it's small. It's still is

3750
02:10:03,972 --> 02:10:04,739
cadet program for younger

3751
02:10:04,739 --> 02:10:08,811
folks that are of age to apply

3752
02:10:08,811 --> 02:10:09,477
for impd as a sworn officer. I

3753
02:10:09,477 --> 02:10:10,145
also view our public safety

3754
02:10:10,145 --> 02:10:13,145
officer positions as one of

3755
02:10:13,682 --> 02:10:14,951
those potential pipelines. We

3756
02:10:14,951 --> 02:10:15,817
have at least one former

3757
02:10:15,817 --> 02:10:18,217
public safety officer that's

3758
02:10:19,422 --> 02:10:20,522
in our sworn process and MAY

3759
02:10:20,522 --> 02:10:23,522
become a sworn officer. At

3760
02:10:23,792 --> 02:10:25,560
some point. We're also looking

3761
02:10:25,560 --> 02:10:26,728
at the public safety officer

3762
02:10:26,728 --> 02:10:28,863
roles of potential pipeline to

3763
02:10:28,863 --> 02:10:29,898
our park Ranger program as

3764
02:10:29,898 --> 02:10:32,898
well. We have existing public

3765
02:10:32,901 --> 02:10:33,636
safety officers that I believe

3766
02:10:33,636 --> 02:10:36,906
are intending to apply for the

3767
02:10:36,906 --> 02:10:38,106
openings to park Rangers.

3768
02:10:38,106 --> 02:10:39,942
We're also working at

3769
02:10:39,942 --> 02:10:41,676
formalizing an internship

3770
02:10:41,676 --> 02:10:43,479
program so that we can attract

3771
02:10:43,479 --> 02:10:46,282
some folks that maybe aren't

3772
02:10:46,282 --> 02:10:48,483
sure and get them into our

3773
02:10:48,483 --> 02:10:49,151
organization, expose them to

3774
02:10:49,151 --> 02:10:49,885
our organization and invite

3775
02:10:49,885 --> 02:10:51,654
them to be a permanent part of

3776
02:10:51,654 --> 02:10:52,588
the organization. Figure

3777
02:10:52,588 --> 02:10:54,588
Counselor, Counselor Grace,

3778
02:10:56,359 --> 02:10:59,128
thank you. Chief. Our chief,

3779
02:10:59,128 --> 02:10:59,829
thank you for your

3780
02:10:59,829 --> 02:11:02,229
presentation. Just a quick

3781
02:11:04,700 --> 02:11:07,100
question. And then comments.

3782
02:11:07,103 --> 02:11:10,103
She for the department worked

3783
02:11:10,973 --> 02:11:13,509
with 6. If it can. West

3784
02:11:13,509 --> 02:11:14,176
officers, then the regulatory

3785
02:11:14,176 --> 02:11:15,811
bodies has suggested a city

3786
02:11:15,811 --> 02:11:18,211
like Indianapolis. You have.

3787
02:11:22,551 --> 02:11:24,551
Today. Our reality 13 83.

3788
02:11:24,887 --> 02:11:25,621
Yeah. We still talk about this

3789
02:11:25,621 --> 02:11:28,621
17. 43, I think for me, chief,

3790
02:11:28,891 --> 02:11:30,793
if you can really talk about

3791
02:11:30,793 --> 02:11:31,460
the origin of 17, 43, why that

3792
02:11:31,460 --> 02:11:33,596
number why that number was

3793
02:11:33,596 --> 02:11:35,197
arrived at. When we see crime

3794
02:11:35,197 --> 02:11:37,967
going in the right direction

3795
02:11:37,967 --> 02:11:40,967
at 13, 83 and have a final

3796
02:11:43,720 --> 02:11:45,720
comment chair. The 17. 43

3797
02:11:45,841 --> 02:11:47,743
number to my recollection was

3798
02:11:47,743 --> 02:11:50,143
the number that was

3799
02:11:50,880 --> 02:11:51,914
implemented under Mayor

3800
02:11:51,914 --> 02:11:53,914
Hogsett administration early

3801
02:11:54,116 --> 02:11:54,885
in his administration MAY be

3802
02:11:54,885 --> 02:11:57,190
the first or second year of

3803
02:11:57,190 --> 02:11:59,419
that administration. I think

3804
02:12:00,122 --> 02:12:02,910
that and conversations with

3805
02:12:02,910 --> 02:12:03,259
Chief Bailey some outside

3806
02:12:03,259 --> 02:12:05,494
organizations and it's been a

3807
02:12:05,494 --> 02:12:06,429
while have recommended arced

3808
02:12:06,429 --> 02:12:10,290
our strength to be closer to

3809
02:12:11,330 --> 02:12:13,303
the 2,2200 range, not even 17.

3810
02:12:13,303 --> 02:12:14,604
43 and I love that. You

3811
02:12:14,604 --> 02:12:17,640
pointed out that we are making

3812
02:12:17,640 --> 02:12:19,410
great strides in crime

3813
02:12:19,410 --> 02:12:20,944
reduction, even well. 360

3814
02:12:20,944 --> 02:12:22,913
officers short of our

3815
02:12:22,913 --> 02:12:24,948
authorized staffing. I think

3816
02:12:24,948 --> 02:12:25,849
that we have been very

3817
02:12:25,849 --> 02:12:28,151
intentional in our strategies

3818
02:12:28,151 --> 02:12:30,153
and the gun violence reduction

3819
02:12:30,153 --> 02:12:32,153
strategy specifically and

3820
02:12:32,289 --> 02:12:34,124
leveraging those partnerships

3821
02:12:34,124 --> 02:12:36,293
to achieve those reductions in

3822
02:12:36,293 --> 02:12:39,960
crime. But it does come at a

3823
02:12:39,960 --> 02:12:40,397
cost because there is a lot of

3824
02:12:40,397 --> 02:12:42,199
overtime involved and

3825
02:12:42,199 --> 02:12:43,000
maintaining that level of

3826
02:12:43,000 --> 02:12:46,600
service, which we do not want

3827
02:12:47,271 --> 02:12:48,505
to take shortcuts on. So and

3828
02:12:48,505 --> 02:12:50,905
chief, I heard presentation

3829
02:12:52,709 --> 02:12:53,343
about the need for 17. 43, but

3830
02:12:53,343 --> 02:12:54,440
I want to know why we've

3831
02:12:54,440 --> 02:12:56,130
arrived at that number. We've

3832
02:12:56,130 --> 02:12:58,130
seen success. It's 360

3833
02:12:59,917 --> 02:13:00,517
officers short and I'm curious

3834
02:13:00,517 --> 02:13:01,218
to know, is it time to

3835
02:13:01,218 --> 02:13:03,618
readjust that number because

3836
02:13:04,154 --> 02:13:05,188
we're continually funding at

3837
02:13:05,188 --> 02:13:07,557
that number. Yes, we've heard

3838
02:13:07,557 --> 02:13:09,957
the 212200, you know, expected

3839
02:13:10,460 --> 02:13:13,460
number. But even at the 17,

3840
02:13:14,298 --> 02:13:14,998
43, the funded number. I think

3841
02:13:14,998 --> 02:13:15,699
we're working well. I'd love

3842
02:13:15,699 --> 02:13:19,299
to know what the origin of 70

3843
02:13:20,871 --> 02:13:23,640
43 is. Origin was under Mayor

3844
02:13:23,640 --> 02:13:24,275
Hogsett administration as far

3845
02:13:24,275 --> 02:13:27,875
as that goes. But I would

3846
02:13:27,945 --> 02:13:29,714
argue that. I've heard from

3847
02:13:29,714 --> 02:13:30,582
counselors all evening about

3848
02:13:30,582 --> 02:13:33,518
things that you'd like to see

3849
02:13:33,518 --> 02:13:34,351
out of our agency. There are

3850
02:13:34,351 --> 02:13:36,220
things that I agree with that

3851
02:13:36,220 --> 02:13:38,555
i'd like to see out of our

3852
02:13:38,555 --> 02:13:40,658
agency. There are times that I

3853
02:13:40,658 --> 02:13:41,925
remember as a young officer

3854
02:13:41,925 --> 02:13:44,925
myself having the latitude to

3855
02:13:45,395 --> 02:13:46,300
do during my patrol shift that

3856
02:13:46,300 --> 02:13:46,664
officers that are working

3857
02:13:46,664 --> 02:13:49,664
today don't have the same

3858
02:13:50,233 --> 02:13:50,902
luxury to do. Technology has

3859
02:13:50,902 --> 02:13:52,336
changed times of change.

3860
02:13:52,336 --> 02:13:54,736
Staffing levels have certainly

3861
02:13:54,972 --> 02:13:56,107
changed. If we had that

3862
02:13:56,107 --> 02:13:56,941
additional staffing, we would

3863
02:13:56,941 --> 02:14:00,541
be able to provide an even

3864
02:14:00,979 --> 02:14:03,113
higher level of service. And

3865
02:14:03,113 --> 02:14:04,314
while we've achieved great

3866
02:14:04,314 --> 02:14:04,983
reductions in our violence or

3867
02:14:04,983 --> 02:14:06,451
violent crimes and even our

3868
02:14:06,451 --> 02:14:07,452
property crimes, quality of

3869
02:14:07,452 --> 02:14:09,190
life issues to me, I'm not

3870
02:14:09,190 --> 02:14:11,419
satisfied with that. There's

3871
02:14:11,923 --> 02:14:12,589
still too much violence and we

3872
02:14:12,589 --> 02:14:13,291
have more work to do and we

3873
02:14:13,291 --> 02:14:16,891
need more officers to be able

3874
02:14:17,427 --> 02:14:19,930
to do that. And I certainly

3875
02:14:19,930 --> 02:14:21,899
appreciate that. Slight

3876
02:14:21,899 --> 02:14:23,701
clarification can come back to

3877
02:14:23,701 --> 02:14:26,738
that. But I MARCH air finally,

3878
02:14:26,738 --> 02:14:31,538
I have a a comment or maybe a

3879
02:14:32,811 --> 02:14:33,478
suggestion considering recent

3880
02:14:33,478 --> 02:14:35,790
shootings in shootings that

3881
02:14:35,790 --> 02:14:37,479
happened in the black

3882
02:14:38,160 --> 02:14:39,518
community across Indianapolis

3883
02:14:39,518 --> 02:14:40,183
chief. I think it's time that

3884
02:14:40,183 --> 02:14:41,619
we really look and consider

3885
02:14:41,619 --> 02:14:44,619
the research that has shown

3886
02:14:46,157 --> 02:14:47,826
that black officers. Use force

3887
02:14:47,826 --> 02:14:48,493
less frequently, particularly

3888
02:14:48,493 --> 02:14:50,893
when interacting with black

3889
02:14:51,930 --> 02:14:52,864
residents. Increasing the

3890
02:14:52,864 --> 02:14:54,832
number of black officers can

3891
02:14:54,832 --> 02:14:56,832
strengthen trust, improve

3892
02:14:57,268 --> 02:14:57,802
community cooperation and help

3893
02:14:57,802 --> 02:14:58,503
officers obtain the

3894
02:14:58,503 --> 02:15:00,371
information needed to prevent

3895
02:15:00,371 --> 02:15:01,639
violence and solve crimes. A

3896
02:15:01,639 --> 02:15:02,840
department that reflects the

3897
02:15:02,840 --> 02:15:03,474
community. It serves as better

3898
02:15:03,474 --> 02:15:05,874
position to protect that

3899
02:15:06,779 --> 02:15:09,810
community. Chief, to recap.

3900
02:15:09,810 --> 02:15:09,781
Our community is hurting the

3901
02:15:09,781 --> 02:15:11,781
black community Indianapolis

3902
02:15:13,652 --> 02:15:14,320
is heard. I think one

3903
02:15:14,320 --> 02:15:17,288
suggestion is that we hire

3904
02:15:17,288 --> 02:15:18,524
more black officers to patrol

3905
02:15:18,524 --> 02:15:20,920
our committees, whatever it

3906
02:15:20,920 --> 02:15:20,959
takes to attract and retain

3907
02:15:20,959 --> 02:15:23,940
those officers. We have to do

3908
02:15:23,940 --> 02:15:24,863
it. Thank you. MISTER Chair.

3909
02:15:24,863 --> 02:15:27,660
Think also just a comment.

3910
02:15:27,660 --> 02:15:29,234
Some counselors, anyone else

3911
02:15:29,234 --> 02:15:29,902
will circle back to the

3912
02:15:29,902 --> 02:15:30,636
council Perkins. Then round

3913
02:15:30,636 --> 02:15:33,238
groups will go to the audience

3914
02:15:33,238 --> 02:15:36,238
to get public testimony. Thank

3915
02:15:36,608 --> 02:15:37,309
you, MISTER CHAIRMAN. I think

3916
02:15:37,309 --> 02:15:40,909
tonight is an example for me

3917
02:15:45,650 --> 02:15:48,530
off. Community. Lived on the

3918
02:15:48,530 --> 02:15:51,530
tension on the pressure and

3919
02:15:52,925 --> 02:15:53,725
often times. Our voice, not

3920
02:15:53,725 --> 02:15:56,125
frustration is interpreted as

3921
02:16:05,671 --> 02:16:06,305
violent. It's not lost on me.

3922
02:16:06,305 --> 02:16:08,705
What has transpired here

3923
02:16:14,713 --> 02:16:15,447
tonight. And I wonder. What my

3924
02:16:15,447 --> 02:16:18,447
colleague just shared in terms

3925
02:16:19,385 --> 02:16:22,385
off. The numbers. And a

3926
02:16:25,791 --> 02:16:28,791
vacancy. I wonder. Instead of

3927
02:16:30,290 --> 02:16:30,696
our strategic plan. We need to

3928
02:16:30,696 --> 02:16:34,296
look at a different way of

3929
02:16:39,238 --> 02:16:41,638
public safety. Indianapolis is

3930
02:16:42,441 --> 02:16:46,410
not unique. In not being able

3931
02:16:46,780 --> 02:16:48,914
to fill vacancies. I think

3932
02:16:48,914 --> 02:16:52,514
what we oftentimes feel to do.

3933
02:16:53,520 --> 02:16:56,520
It's a take the opportunity.

3934
02:16:56,889 --> 02:16:58,959
To be relevant in the moment.

3935
02:16:58,959 --> 02:17:00,292
If you look across the entire

3936
02:17:00,292 --> 02:17:02,692
country, major cities are

3937
02:17:03,296 --> 02:17:04,129
having challenges recruiting

3938
02:17:04,129 --> 02:17:04,797
police officers to fit in the

3939
02:17:04,797 --> 02:17:07,433
traditional way in which we

3940
02:17:07,433 --> 02:17:09,833
police our communities. It's

3941
02:17:11,400 --> 02:17:11,704
all for that to us as a

3942
02:17:11,704 --> 02:17:14,704
consideration. I also want to

3943
02:17:14,873 --> 02:17:17,210
follow up on the question and

3944
02:17:17,210 --> 02:17:19,610
by my colleague, Minority

3945
02:17:22,549 --> 02:17:24,783
leader around. Our vehicles on

3946
02:17:24,783 --> 02:17:27,520
our fleet. What we do know. Is

3947
02:17:27,520 --> 02:17:30,520
that we approved resources to

3948
02:17:33,793 --> 02:17:35,610
purchase. 180. New vehicles.

3949
02:17:35,610 --> 02:17:37,229
What we do know is that your

3950
02:17:37,229 --> 02:17:39,629
requested me was around 300.

3951
02:17:41,402 --> 02:17:42,670
What we don't know. Is how

3952
02:17:42,670 --> 02:17:44,467
many vehicles, new vehicles

3953
02:17:44,503 --> 02:17:46,272
you have right now. That has

3954
02:17:46,272 --> 02:17:47,841
been sittin in a lot waiting

3955
02:17:47,841 --> 02:17:52,410
to be outfitted to get on the

3956
02:17:52,479 --> 02:17:54,481
road. We don't know that. And

3957
02:17:54,481 --> 02:17:55,148
so I think that's important

3958
02:17:55,148 --> 02:17:56,449
for the community. And it's

3959
02:17:56,449 --> 02:17:57,182
important for you to know

3960
02:17:57,182 --> 02:17:59,582
that, right? If we're

3961
02:18:00,320 --> 02:18:01,540
purchasing new vehicles. Yet

3962
02:18:01,540 --> 02:18:04,654
we still have vehicles sit and

3963
02:18:07,761 --> 02:18:08,461
just waited. They have to be a

3964
02:18:08,461 --> 02:18:10,964
better way for community move

3965
02:18:10,964 --> 02:18:14,564
forward. Has to be a better

3966
02:18:16,871 --> 02:18:18,104
way. And so I offer both my

3967
02:18:18,104 --> 02:18:20,640
questions and my comments is

3968
02:18:20,640 --> 02:18:22,175
as as an encouragement for us

3969
02:18:22,175 --> 02:18:25,412
to to remain at the table.

3970
02:18:25,412 --> 02:18:26,112
Don't back away from the

3971
02:18:26,112 --> 02:18:26,714
opportunity to be innovative

3972
02:18:26,714 --> 02:18:29,714
in this moment. I truly

3973
02:18:32,886 --> 02:18:33,821
believe. That this. Is Colin

3974
02:18:33,821 --> 02:18:34,422
us Indianapolis to look at a

3975
02:18:34,422 --> 02:18:36,822
different way of public

3976
02:18:37,557 --> 02:18:38,258
safety. Thank you, MR.

3977
02:18:38,258 --> 02:18:40,658
CHAIRMAN, thank you. Council

3978
02:18:41,762 --> 02:18:43,363
Council Brown. Thank you, MR.

3979
02:18:43,363 --> 02:18:44,970
CHAIRMAN to everything that

3980
02:18:44,970 --> 02:18:46,900
council Perkins or said. Thank

3981
02:18:46,900 --> 02:18:47,901
you for saying that, sir. I

3982
02:18:47,901 --> 02:18:48,568
want to quickly ask a couple

3983
02:18:48,568 --> 02:18:51,568
questions just to follow up

3984
02:18:53,400 --> 02:18:53,741
earlier questions. Last week.

3985
02:18:53,741 --> 02:18:55,876
We had the city what I would

3986
02:18:55,876 --> 02:18:56,843
describe as a terrorist

3987
02:18:56,843 --> 02:18:59,447
attack. People are living in

3988
02:18:59,447 --> 02:19:00,881
fear. I cannot tell you the

3989
02:19:00,881 --> 02:19:01,514
number of frightened phone

3990
02:19:01,514 --> 02:19:03,150
calls I got from parents,

3991
02:19:03,150 --> 02:19:05,150
teachers, principals, children

3992
02:19:06,287 --> 02:19:08,489
at the physical therapy, place

3993
02:19:08,489 --> 02:19:10,957
that I go to take care of very

3994
02:19:10,957 --> 02:19:11,859
painful issue in my neck and

3995
02:19:11,859 --> 02:19:13,460
shoulder. That's a 20% of

3996
02:19:13,460 --> 02:19:14,427
their patient appointments

3997
02:19:14,427 --> 02:19:17,332
were canceled due to fear of

3998
02:19:17,332 --> 02:19:17,999
what was going on last week.

3999
02:19:17,999 --> 02:19:20,868
That's not just an economic

4000
02:19:20,868 --> 02:19:21,535
impact. That's literally

4001
02:19:21,535 --> 02:19:23,871
dozens of dozen people that

4002
02:19:23,871 --> 02:19:24,572
clinic alone living in pain,

4003
02:19:24,572 --> 02:19:27,108
physical pain because of what

4004
02:19:27,108 --> 02:19:28,409
happened last week. When I

4005
02:19:28,409 --> 02:19:29,810
reached out on Monday, you let

4006
02:19:29,810 --> 02:19:30,478
me know you haven't heard

4007
02:19:30,478 --> 02:19:32,680
anything about this. When I

4008
02:19:32,680 --> 02:19:33,814
reached out to commander fully

4009
02:19:33,814 --> 02:19:34,515
during the downtown district

4010
02:19:34,515 --> 02:19:35,416
calling Tuesday, he also had

4011
02:19:35,416 --> 02:19:37,180
not heard anything about this.

4012
02:19:37,180 --> 02:19:38,486
There were hundreds of report.

4013
02:19:38,486 --> 02:19:42,686
All over our city. And so to

4014
02:19:42,723 --> 02:19:46,260
me. You know, I hate to even

4015
02:19:46,260 --> 02:19:46,795
say this, but if indeed, we

4016
02:19:46,795 --> 02:19:49,195
are beginning on us

4017
02:19:50,564 --> 02:19:52,133
information. Then that is a

4018
02:19:52,133 --> 02:19:54,133
gigantic intelligence failure.

4019
02:19:54,402 --> 02:19:56,537
Why are we not better commit

4020
02:19:56,537 --> 02:19:57,538
connecting with our community?

4021
02:19:57,538 --> 02:20:00,174
I mean, you couldn't go on

4022
02:20:00,174 --> 02:20:01,409
social media without scene.

4023
02:20:01,409 --> 02:20:03,578
Live video of masks. People

4024
02:20:03,578 --> 02:20:05,646
snatching folks out of cars.

4025
02:20:05,646 --> 02:20:06,781
When I sent a license plate

4026
02:20:06,781 --> 02:20:07,515
over saying there was just

4027
02:20:07,515 --> 02:20:10,318
abduction tied to this license

4028
02:20:10,318 --> 02:20:10,985
plate number. You and no one

4029
02:20:10,985 --> 02:20:13,985
under sec even responded to

4030
02:20:16,390 --> 02:20:18,192
that email. So when you say

4031
02:20:18,192 --> 02:20:18,860
you had no interactions with

4032
02:20:18,860 --> 02:20:21,396
ice, assuming that was the

4033
02:20:21,396 --> 02:20:22,763
agency in charge last week,

4034
02:20:22,763 --> 02:20:23,364
you know, I noticed in your

4035
02:20:23,364 --> 02:20:24,650
budget if I kind of the

4036
02:20:24,650 --> 02:20:25,933
numbers, right, you have 2.2

4037
02:20:25,933 --> 02:20:28,700
million dollars for federal

4038
02:20:28,700 --> 02:20:28,737
liaison Ce not one of your

4039
02:20:28,737 --> 02:20:29,338
federal liaison side of the

4040
02:20:29,338 --> 02:20:30,500
inclination of what was

4041
02:20:30,500 --> 02:20:30,671
happening. I mean, when you

4042
02:20:30,671 --> 02:20:31,373
say you didn't have

4043
02:20:31,373 --> 02:20:33,773
communication, is that still

4044
02:20:37,445 --> 02:20:38,112
true today? So what is

4045
02:20:38,112 --> 02:20:40,112
preventing your department

4046
02:20:40,282 --> 02:20:41,950
from using the flock

4047
02:20:41,950 --> 02:20:44,350
technology from using these

4048
02:20:45,190 --> 02:20:46,455
1300 sworn officers to try to

4049
02:20:46,455 --> 02:20:47,689
prevent what a group of people

4050
02:20:47,689 --> 02:20:48,357
who have not identified

4051
02:20:48,357 --> 02:20:49,590
themselves to the chief of

4052
02:20:49,590 --> 02:20:50,626
police or the mayor of the

4053
02:20:50,626 --> 02:20:54,826
city. Why would you not why we

4054
02:20:55,863 --> 02:20:58,660
do not try to stop them. I

4055
02:20:58,660 --> 02:21:00,350
would just remind you that the

4056
02:21:00,350 --> 02:21:02,435
federal agencies have no

4057
02:21:02,471 --> 02:21:03,171
mandate to notify local law

4058
02:21:03,171 --> 02:21:04,873
enforcement when they conduct

4059
02:21:04,873 --> 02:21:06,873
operations involving federal

4060
02:21:07,343 --> 02:21:09,378
and Portsmouth, federal laws.

4061
02:21:09,378 --> 02:21:10,579
So they're not required to

4062
02:21:10,579 --> 02:21:11,246
notify U.S. And they likely

4063
02:21:11,246 --> 02:21:13,448
won't notify you as long as

4064
02:21:13,448 --> 02:21:15,550
you put up no resistance when

4065
02:21:15,550 --> 02:21:16,251
they don't. If you don't pay

4066
02:21:16,251 --> 02:21:16,985
and incentives structure that

4067
02:21:16,985 --> 02:21:17,653
makes it worse for them not to

4068
02:21:17,653 --> 02:21:20,653
notify you. Why would they

4069
02:21:24,192 --> 02:21:26,595
have another fight? Okay. I

4070
02:21:26,595 --> 02:21:27,362
mean, I guess it for the

4071
02:21:27,362 --> 02:21:28,263
questions I find this

4072
02:21:28,263 --> 02:21:30,198
extremely Don't know why we

4073
02:21:30,198 --> 02:21:31,501
pay so much for public safety

4074
02:21:31,501 --> 02:21:32,167
if people could be kidnapped

4075
02:21:32,167 --> 02:21:32,768
off the streets and our law

4076
02:21:32,768 --> 02:21:34,768
enforcement can't even

4077
02:21:37,539 --> 02:21:38,307
communicate about that. Going

4078
02:21:38,307 --> 02:21:38,974
on to counseling graves. His

4079
02:21:38,974 --> 02:21:40,943
comments about demographics

4080
02:21:40,943 --> 02:21:41,610
and the force. You know, I do

4081
02:21:41,610 --> 02:21:44,100
appreciate the efforts that

4082
02:21:45,347 --> 02:21:47,449
you've made. And I think you'd

4083
02:21:47,449 --> 02:21:48,184
agree are 4 still does not

4084
02:21:48,184 --> 02:21:50,286
look like the people that pay

4085
02:21:50,286 --> 02:21:52,454
our taxes and that we

4086
02:21:52,454 --> 02:21:53,923
represent. On that note, I

4087
02:21:53,923 --> 02:21:54,656
want to ask if you have this

4088
02:21:54,656 --> 02:21:55,257
available, how many impd sworn

4089
02:21:55,257 --> 02:21:57,657
officers live in Marion

4090
02:22:01,130 --> 02:22:03,980
County. I can get that

4091
02:22:03,980 --> 02:22:03,833
information. We do have that

4092
02:22:03,833 --> 02:22:04,533
information. I report back to

4093
02:22:04,533 --> 02:22:08,733
you on that. I don't have it

4094
02:22:08,971 --> 02:22:09,806
memorized. Yeah, no. It's much

4095
02:22:09,806 --> 02:22:10,506
easier to say here on the mike

4096
02:22:10,506 --> 02:22:12,809
that actually do recruitment

4097
02:22:12,809 --> 02:22:14,877
and communities. But I wager

4098
02:22:14,877 --> 02:22:16,678
if we had more than 5 Hispanic

4099
02:22:16,678 --> 02:22:17,412
officers, we might have had

4100
02:22:17,412 --> 02:22:19,515
better insights as to what was

4101
02:22:19,515 --> 02:22:20,984
happening with ice. For

4102
02:22:20,984 --> 02:22:22,180
example, and, you know, costs

4103
02:22:22,180 --> 02:22:24,887
might go down if we're not

4104
02:22:24,887 --> 02:22:26,155
sending take-home cars to

4105
02:22:26,155 --> 02:22:26,889
donut counties. You know, from

4106
02:22:26,889 --> 02:22:27,590
my conversations with rank and

4107
02:22:27,590 --> 02:22:29,993
file officers and sounds like

4108
02:22:29,993 --> 02:22:33,593
there's a push to expand that

4109
02:22:33,630 --> 02:22:34,297
to 2 counties away for people

4110
02:22:34,297 --> 02:22:34,931
to have take home cars. I'm

4111
02:22:34,931 --> 02:22:37,931
not sure if that's moving

4112
02:22:38,201 --> 02:22:39,680
forward or not. I understand

4113
02:22:39,680 --> 02:22:41,938
the need to keep morale up

4114
02:22:41,938 --> 02:22:43,139
with the heartbreak of

4115
02:22:43,139 --> 02:22:44,140
officers. But there are

4116
02:22:44,140 --> 02:22:45,740
900,000 people in the city.

4117
02:22:45,740 --> 02:22:45,775
It's really hard for me to

4118
02:22:45,775 --> 02:22:46,476
believe we don't have anybody

4119
02:22:46,476 --> 02:22:48,770
who could do a decent job of

4120
02:22:48,770 --> 02:22:48,678
the police officer with the

4121
02:22:48,678 --> 02:22:51,780
26th. Check of training

4122
02:22:55,618 --> 02:22:56,686
invention on that note. I do

4123
02:22:56,686 --> 02:22:58,288
want to my harsh say I want to

4124
02:22:58,288 --> 02:22:59,550
give you and your commanders

4125
02:22:59,550 --> 02:22:59,722
and all the wreckage officers

4126
02:22:59,722 --> 02:23:02,825
who do this because you are

4127
02:23:02,825 --> 02:23:03,426
doing an impossible job. It is

4128
02:23:03,426 --> 02:23:04,627
truly unfair. What this

4129
02:23:04,627 --> 02:23:06,129
council with this mayor, what

4130
02:23:06,129 --> 02:23:08,899
the city asks of you and your

4131
02:23:08,899 --> 02:23:09,899
staff, it's impossible. You

4132
02:23:09,899 --> 02:23:12,869
can't blood from a stone. And

4133
02:23:12,869 --> 02:23:13,603
to my colleagues point, you

4134
02:23:13,603 --> 02:23:15,400
cannot do the work of 1700

4135
02:23:15,400 --> 02:23:17,400
officers with 1300 officers.

4136
02:23:18,841 --> 02:23:19,609
You just can't do it. Every

4137
02:23:19,609 --> 02:23:20,276
job I've ever had that tried

4138
02:23:20,276 --> 02:23:23,147
to downsize staff and just

4139
02:23:23,147 --> 02:23:23,880
told us to do more It didn't

4140
02:23:23,880 --> 02:23:27,317
work out that way. It just

4141
02:23:27,317 --> 02:23:28,510
ended up that some of the I

4142
02:23:28,510 --> 02:23:30,820
didn't get at some of that.

4143
02:23:30,820 --> 02:23:31,655
He's didn't get caught. Some

4144
02:23:31,655 --> 02:23:32,322
of the people making 3800

4145
02:23:32,322 --> 02:23:34,722
searchers on flock cameras

4146
02:23:35,925 --> 02:23:36,560
didn't get investigated right?

4147
02:23:36,560 --> 02:23:37,293
That's that's because you

4148
02:23:37,293 --> 02:23:38,161
don't have the staff to do all

4149
02:23:38,161 --> 02:23:40,830
the things that are on your

4150
02:23:40,830 --> 02:23:41,998
shoulders. I appreciate leader

4151
02:23:41,998 --> 02:23:43,200
Mowery mentioning that park

4152
02:23:43,200 --> 02:23:45,600
Rangers are important public

4153
02:23:47,870 --> 02:23:49,380
safety future. But but that is

4154
02:23:49,380 --> 02:23:49,673
like a purple level of respect

4155
02:23:49,673 --> 02:23:52,673
would be a greater level

4156
02:23:53,877 --> 02:23:54,577
respect as recognition that. 5

4157
02:23:54,577 --> 02:23:57,577
or even 8 park Rangers, 4 of

4158
02:23:59,516 --> 02:24:00,751
400 square miles City Miles,

4159
02:24:00,751 --> 02:24:01,484
City it. You know, impossible

4160
02:24:01,484 --> 02:24:02,219
that they're not gonna be able

4161
02:24:02,219 --> 02:24:04,188
to do their jobs actually make

4162
02:24:04,188 --> 02:24:06,991
the park safe. And so I think

4163
02:24:06,991 --> 02:24:08,559
that you should expect or for

4164
02:24:08,559 --> 02:24:11,228
this council, you expect By

4165
02:24:11,228 --> 02:24:11,962
Mike like off is should

4166
02:24:11,962 --> 02:24:14,962
certainly expect more from the

4167
02:24:18,602 --> 02:24:19,203
mayor. But we need to to cause

4168
02:24:19,203 --> 02:24:20,504
a partisan basis point

4169
02:24:20,504 --> 02:24:22,600
reinvent public safety because

4170
02:24:22,600 --> 02:24:22,606
we can't keep doing the old

4171
02:24:22,606 --> 02:24:23,474
model without the same

4172
02:24:23,474 --> 02:24:26,474
resource and staff that we

4173
02:24:27,478 --> 02:24:28,212
once had. You know, we could

4174
02:24:28,212 --> 02:24:29,847
have some creativity into some

4175
02:24:29,847 --> 02:24:30,614
municipal code changes where

4176
02:24:30,614 --> 02:24:32,616
necessary since the park

4177
02:24:32,616 --> 02:24:34,190
Rangers demonstrate we do have

4178
02:24:34,190 --> 02:24:34,719
a category of sworn officers

4179
02:24:34,719 --> 02:24:37,540
level to Riley at training as

4180
02:24:37,540 --> 02:24:38,880
opposed to a level one. Why

4181
02:24:38,880 --> 02:24:38,756
couldn't we have a new

4182
02:24:38,756 --> 02:24:40,758
category of sworn officers

4183
02:24:40,758 --> 02:24:42,259
just for traffic enforcement

4184
02:24:42,259 --> 02:24:44,662
if they didn't serve warrants,

4185
02:24:44,662 --> 02:24:45,362
that could alleviate some of

4186
02:24:45,362 --> 02:24:46,330
what constituted heard in the

4187
02:24:46,330 --> 02:24:48,266
past about, you unwelcome

4188
02:24:48,266 --> 02:24:49,500
interactions between the

4189
02:24:49,500 --> 02:24:52,500
public. You know, we're not

4190
02:24:53,304 --> 02:24:53,938
we're not putting anybody and

4191
02:24:53,938 --> 02:24:54,571
lives risk were not know

4192
02:24:54,571 --> 02:24:55,439
what's drawing a gun when

4193
02:24:55,439 --> 02:24:56,640
you're the most. That could

4194
02:24:56,640 --> 02:24:57,374
happen as a person orange

4195
02:24:57,374 --> 02:24:58,442
that's get your parking ticket

4196
02:24:58,442 --> 02:25:00,442
traffic moving violation.

4197
02:25:02,212 --> 02:25:03,682
Could do that. And I will give

4198
02:25:03,682 --> 02:25:04,349
credit for some of your staff

4199
02:25:04,349 --> 02:25:05,950
commander fully of downtown

4200
02:25:05,950 --> 02:25:07,685
district has done an excellent

4201
02:25:07,685 --> 02:25:08,352
job. Just looking for problems

4202
02:25:08,352 --> 02:25:11,352
that could be solved within

4203
02:25:11,455 --> 02:25:12,823
the city government as an

4204
02:25:12,823 --> 02:25:13,491
example, food trucks are not

4205
02:25:13,491 --> 02:25:15,891
legally allowed to operate

4206
02:25:16,795 --> 02:25:19,564
after 11:00pm, but only bns

4207
02:25:19,564 --> 02:25:20,864
that visits neighborhood

4208
02:25:20,864 --> 02:25:23,602
services agents can issue them

4209
02:25:23,602 --> 02:25:24,935
violation of that after

4210
02:25:24,935 --> 02:25:25,604
11:00pm being agents are out

4211
02:25:25,604 --> 02:25:26,304
after 11:00pm. But downtown

4212
02:25:26,304 --> 02:25:28,304
district officers absolutely

4213
02:25:29,808 --> 02:25:31,776
out there on foot. So why

4214
02:25:31,776 --> 02:25:32,911
can't we internally circle the

4215
02:25:32,911 --> 02:25:33,612
wagons and get jurisdiction to

4216
02:25:33,612 --> 02:25:34,613
cover the things that they're

4217
02:25:34,613 --> 02:25:37,215
standing there able to do

4218
02:25:37,215 --> 02:25:39,351
anyway and then why can't we

4219
02:25:39,351 --> 02:25:40,885
take some frankly, ridiculous

4220
02:25:40,885 --> 02:25:41,586
hats off of the officers

4221
02:25:41,586 --> 02:25:43,588
shoulders. So when I did buy

4222
02:25:43,588 --> 02:25:45,457
right along with downtown

4223
02:25:45,457 --> 02:25:46,358
district for the 10 hour

4224
02:25:46,358 --> 02:25:47,920
shift, the very first thing

4225
02:25:47,920 --> 02:25:50,692
that the officer I worked with

4226
02:25:51,229 --> 02:25:53,732
had to do was walk around to

4227
02:25:53,732 --> 02:25:54,966
wire privatized parking South

4228
02:25:54,966 --> 02:25:57,366
Meridian Street and hang

4229
02:25:57,535 --> 02:25:59,404
handwritten signs over each

4230
02:25:59,404 --> 02:26:00,710
parking meter spot saying no

4231
02:26:00,710 --> 02:26:02,471
parking Friday and Saturday

4232
02:26:03,108 --> 02:26:04,876
evening by order of impd for

4233
02:26:04,876 --> 02:26:05,610
Public Safety. That is

4234
02:26:05,610 --> 02:26:08,610
ridiculous. When an average of

4235
02:26:09,714 --> 02:26:10,415
$130,000 a year officer is

4236
02:26:10,415 --> 02:26:11,116
literally taking twine, tied

4237
02:26:11,116 --> 02:26:13,151
it around, assigned a writing

4238
02:26:13,151 --> 02:26:13,885
on it with a marker. What we

4239
02:26:13,885 --> 02:26:15,921
have to find some efficiencies

4240
02:26:15,921 --> 02:26:17,956
and not ask each police

4241
02:26:17,956 --> 02:26:21,260
officer to just be the Batman

4242
02:26:21,260 --> 02:26:22,961
with 1000 jobs, right? We need

4243
02:26:22,961 --> 02:26:24,195
to continue funding. Clc are

4244
02:26:24,195 --> 02:26:27,365
continue any any sort of non

4245
02:26:27,365 --> 02:26:28,660
police. Nancy, one officer

4246
02:26:28,660 --> 02:26:31,236
efforts to end a crime on the

4247
02:26:31,236 --> 02:26:32,700
issue of homelessness, I will

4248
02:26:32,700 --> 02:26:32,771
commend officers. Major

4249
02:26:32,771 --> 02:26:33,905
McIlroy has done a great job.

4250
02:26:33,905 --> 02:26:37,275
I think with that program that

4251
02:26:37,275 --> 02:26:37,943
shouldn't be impd is job he I

4252
02:26:37,943 --> 02:26:40,343
walked around with Captain

4253
02:26:40,345 --> 02:26:41,680
Leary who personally both

4254
02:26:41,680 --> 02:26:42,414
people up and Lugar plaza

4255
02:26:42,414 --> 02:26:44,383
professionally politely

4256
02:26:44,383 --> 02:26:46,318
humanely. But insistently and

4257
02:26:46,318 --> 02:26:48,353
encourage them to keep

4258
02:26:48,353 --> 02:26:49,540
walking. That is crazy for

4259
02:26:49,540 --> 02:26:51,756
police captain to have to do

4260
02:26:51,756 --> 02:26:53,725
that job. Just what we're

4261
02:26:53,725 --> 02:26:56,725
seeing across part. My tirade.

4262
02:26:57,863 --> 02:26:58,897
But what we're seeing across

4263
02:26:58,897 --> 02:27:00,900
this enterprise is a total

4264
02:27:00,900 --> 02:27:03,350
failure to lead to be

4265
02:27:03,350 --> 02:27:04,937
creative. We're using a number

4266
02:27:04,937 --> 02:27:05,971
that was made up a decade ago

4267
02:27:05,971 --> 02:27:07,600
for no reason other than

4268
02:27:07,600 --> 02:27:07,640
that's the number we made up a

4269
02:27:07,640 --> 02:27:08,174
decade ago. Where is the

4270
02:27:08,174 --> 02:27:08,807
creativity with the

4271
02:27:08,807 --> 02:27:11,207
leadership? Where is our

4272
02:27:11,943 --> 02:27:15,543
mayor? This guy in the room

4273
02:27:16,983 --> 02:27:18,183
today I MISS Him. You know, we

4274
02:27:18,183 --> 02:27:18,851
talk about the Cip has an

4275
02:27:18,851 --> 02:27:21,251
agreement that hasn't been

4276
02:27:22,421 --> 02:27:24,422
updated. 12 years. I checked.

4277
02:27:24,422 --> 02:27:25,891
Way underpaying another made

4278
02:27:25,891 --> 02:27:26,559
patrol cip the mail service

4279
02:27:26,559 --> 02:27:27,260
patrol, the jails that are

4280
02:27:27,260 --> 02:27:29,660
being overcrowded with people

4281
02:27:29,795 --> 02:27:30,563
outside of Marin County. The

4282
02:27:30,563 --> 02:27:31,297
mayor doesn't directly control

4283
02:27:31,297 --> 02:27:32,531
the roads that the state House

4284
02:27:32,531 --> 02:27:34,660
doesn't appropriately. Fund

4285
02:27:34,660 --> 02:27:35,468
for. The man hasn't said a

4286
02:27:35,468 --> 02:27:37,737
word that I'm aware of about

4287
02:27:37,737 --> 02:27:38,437
Dallas jet. The mayor surely

4288
02:27:38,437 --> 02:27:40,373
was not on camera talking

4289
02:27:40,373 --> 02:27:41,642
about eyes just about his

4290
02:27:41,642 --> 02:27:42,341
potential run for mayor again,

4291
02:27:42,341 --> 02:27:45,341
breaking its promise a second

4292
02:27:45,678 --> 02:27:46,646
time. But it's not just the

4293
02:27:46,646 --> 02:27:47,347
mayor. We've seen a failure of

4294
02:27:47,347 --> 02:27:50,347
leadership here in this room

4295
02:27:50,784 --> 02:27:53,520
tonight. The community has

4296
02:27:53,520 --> 02:27:53,953
been calling for a public

4297
02:27:53,953 --> 02:27:55,922
meeting, a public hearing of a

4298
02:27:55,922 --> 02:27:56,555
public safety. And instead the

4299
02:27:56,555 --> 02:27:57,256
hearing that was already

4300
02:27:57,256 --> 02:27:58,557
scheduled without excuses to

4301
02:27:58,557 --> 02:27:59,992
throw dozens of people out of

4302
02:27:59,992 --> 02:28:00,660
the room. So when we do hear

4303
02:28:00,660 --> 02:28:01,894
the public comment and with

4304
02:28:01,894 --> 02:28:03,696
that goes into the record

4305
02:28:03,696 --> 02:28:06,832
tonight, I just want it known

4306
02:28:06,832 --> 02:28:08,567
that there was considerably

4307
02:28:08,567 --> 02:28:09,268
more people who took time out

4308
02:28:09,268 --> 02:28:11,404
of day pay to park downtown,

4309
02:28:11,404 --> 02:28:12,672
went through airport security.

4310
02:28:12,672 --> 02:28:13,306
And then were manhandled

4311
02:28:13,306 --> 02:28:13,873
rather than being able to

4312
02:28:13,873 --> 02:28:16,273
speak to the elected

4313
02:28:16,309 --> 02:28:16,976
government. You know,

4314
02:28:16,976 --> 02:28:19,145
workspace on the taxes they

4315
02:28:19,145 --> 02:28:20,880
pay for us. So. Didn't have a

4316
02:28:20,880 --> 02:28:22,249
question at the end, I guess.

4317
02:28:22,249 --> 02:28:26,449
But I guess I got my time.

4318
02:28:28,487 --> 02:28:29,356
Thank you. For Brown. Thank

4319
02:28:29,356 --> 02:28:30,220
you, MR. CHAIRMAN couple just

4320
02:28:30,220 --> 02:28:32,422
final quick questions. I'll

4321
02:28:34,393 --> 02:28:38,593
try to be brief new chief just

4322
02:28:38,966 --> 02:28:39,633
to share with us the extent of

4323
02:28:39,633 --> 02:28:40,366
the de-escalation training.

4324
02:28:40,366 --> 02:28:43,700
That's part of the academy and

4325
02:28:43,700 --> 02:28:43,636
what type of post academy

4326
02:28:43,636 --> 02:28:45,636
training is involved

4327
02:28:50,100 --> 02:28:52,613
de-escalation. Yes. So one of

4328
02:28:52,613 --> 02:28:55,115
the things that I described in

4329
02:28:55,115 --> 02:28:55,649
the presentation was the eye

4330
02:28:55,649 --> 02:28:56,283
cat, the Integrated

4331
02:28:56,283 --> 02:28:58,283
Communication assessment

4332
02:29:00,854 --> 02:29:01,989
tactics. Does encourage

4333
02:29:01,989 --> 02:29:05,589
officers to slow down to make

4334
02:29:06,827 --> 02:29:07,861
a plan. We also reinforced

4335
02:29:07,861 --> 02:29:08,663
consistently time distance and

4336
02:29:08,663 --> 02:29:12,263
barriers. When you get out of

4337
02:29:13,233 --> 02:29:14,668
the academy ongoing range

4338
02:29:14,668 --> 02:29:15,569
training, ongoing defensive

4339
02:29:15,569 --> 02:29:17,569
tactics training that

4340
02:29:19,573 --> 02:29:21,942
emphasizes. Slowing down using

4341
02:29:21,942 --> 02:29:22,676
time. If you have using

4342
02:29:22,676 --> 02:29:24,244
distance, if you had of it and

4343
02:29:24,244 --> 02:29:25,512
using barriers, if you have

4344
02:29:25,512 --> 02:29:28,282
it. So you do allow yourself

4345
02:29:28,282 --> 02:29:30,517
that time to create a plan, a

4346
02:29:30,517 --> 02:29:32,419
safety plan and use proper

4347
02:29:32,419 --> 02:29:33,553
tactics to keep both you and

4348
02:29:33,553 --> 02:29:34,254
community safe while you're

4349
02:29:34,254 --> 02:29:36,654
handling whatever the problem

4350
02:29:38,358 --> 02:29:39,326
is in front of you, the crisis

4351
02:29:39,326 --> 02:29:40,270
intervention term training is

4352
02:29:40,270 --> 02:29:43,270
something that we continue to

4353
02:29:43,130 --> 02:29:44,197
invest in with our officers,

4354
02:29:44,197 --> 02:29:46,597
which also teaches officers

4355
02:29:50,472 --> 02:29:50,672
how to interact appropriate

4356
02:29:50,672 --> 02:29:51,872
appropriately with folks who

4357
02:29:51,872 --> 02:29:52,506
maybe have some mental health

4358
02:29:52,506 --> 02:29:54,906
issues or substance abuse

4359
02:30:01,248 --> 02:30:01,982
issues. Various. Conditions

4360
02:30:01,982 --> 02:30:05,582
that they're trained to try to

4361
02:30:06,853 --> 02:30:08,155
approach by using proper

4362
02:30:08,155 --> 02:30:08,855
boysen fraught inflections by

4363
02:30:08,855 --> 02:30:11,855
MAY be using not using

4364
02:30:14,194 --> 02:30:14,895
flashlights by. Taking a

4365
02:30:14,895 --> 02:30:16,895
different approach. Certainly

4366
02:30:17,130 --> 02:30:17,831
not touching somebody,

4367
02:30:17,831 --> 02:30:20,231
especially when we're talking

4368
02:30:21,201 --> 02:30:21,836
about some autistic

4369
02:30:21,836 --> 02:30:24,370
individuals that MAY make

4370
02:30:24,370 --> 02:30:25,974
scare them more, create a

4371
02:30:25,974 --> 02:30:28,610
reaction out of them. And we

4372
02:30:28,610 --> 02:30:29,277
also consistently try to look

4373
02:30:29,277 --> 02:30:32,130
at what other resources we

4374
02:30:32,130 --> 02:30:32,714
have available the moment

4375
02:30:32,714 --> 02:30:33,647
that might taken a uniformed

4376
02:30:33,647 --> 02:30:34,816
police officer out of that

4377
02:30:34,816 --> 02:30:37,216
position, especially when it

4378
02:30:39,587 --> 02:30:41,689
comes to mental health shoes.

4379
02:30:41,689 --> 02:30:42,290
The time barriers that I

4380
02:30:42,290 --> 02:30:44,690
mentioned at our range

4381
02:30:47,295 --> 02:30:48,730
training. Not every situation

4382
02:30:48,730 --> 02:30:49,430
is something that requires 4

4383
02:30:49,430 --> 02:30:52,330
sets a last resort. But we

4384
02:30:52,330 --> 02:30:54,936
also want to train officers to

4385
02:30:54,936 --> 02:30:57,739
be safe at the end of the day

4386
02:30:57,739 --> 02:31:00,139
that train that proper

4387
02:31:00,642 --> 02:31:01,576
training does Reed's result

4388
02:31:01,576 --> 02:31:04,279
fewer instances of force. And

4389
02:31:04,279 --> 02:31:06,247
you can see on the

4390
02:31:06,247 --> 02:31:08,216
transparency website that

4391
02:31:08,216 --> 02:31:10,616
downward trajectory and those

4392
02:31:11,953 --> 02:31:12,820
use-of-force I hope I hit a

4393
02:31:12,820 --> 02:31:14,622
high level without being a

4394
02:31:14,622 --> 02:31:16,622
training academy instructor

4395
02:31:16,658 --> 02:31:17,492
myself. But those are some of

4396
02:31:17,492 --> 02:31:20,328
the high level things that our

4397
02:31:20,328 --> 02:31:22,497
agency continues to invest in.

4398
02:31:22,497 --> 02:31:24,332
We continue to look at things

4399
02:31:24,332 --> 02:31:24,966
through that lens. We can

4400
02:31:24,966 --> 02:31:26,167
treat continue to try to

4401
02:31:26,167 --> 02:31:28,567
incorporate those things and

4402
02:31:29,170 --> 02:31:30,171
those concepts in our policies

4403
02:31:30,171 --> 02:31:30,872
even de-escalation is

4404
02:31:30,872 --> 02:31:31,806
something that is part of the

4405
02:31:31,806 --> 02:31:34,806
language in our use force

4406
02:31:36,144 --> 02:31:37,378
policies. When we do after

4407
02:31:37,378 --> 02:31:39,315
actions and review incidents,

4408
02:31:39,315 --> 02:31:42,884
we look through that lens of

4409
02:31:42,884 --> 02:31:43,818
what were the opportunities

4410
02:31:43,818 --> 02:31:46,554
and what training issues do we

4411
02:31:46,554 --> 02:31:49,524
need to then address if we're

4412
02:31:49,524 --> 02:31:50,658
seeing some failures or some

4413
02:31:50,658 --> 02:31:51,359
some missteps and how we carry

4414
02:31:51,359 --> 02:31:53,940
things out or what are

4415
02:31:53,940 --> 02:31:55,494
opportunities. Maybe I should

4416
02:31:55,730 --> 02:31:57,966
say for improvement in that in

4417
02:31:57,966 --> 02:31:58,833
that area. Great. I would just

4418
02:31:58,833 --> 02:32:01,833
encourage you to continue that

4419
02:32:02,538 --> 02:32:03,205
trend particularly for I know

4420
02:32:03,205 --> 02:32:05,407
you get a dress that in the

4421
02:32:05,407 --> 02:32:07,442
academy, but I think as I

4422
02:32:07,442 --> 02:32:09,442
understand, officers go

4423
02:32:11,346 --> 02:32:13,150
through annual gun training in

4424
02:32:13,150 --> 02:32:14,583
range training is are also

4425
02:32:14,583 --> 02:32:16,583
annual de-escalation training

4426
02:32:17,118 --> 02:32:19,388
as well to get the money, ok?

4427
02:32:19,388 --> 02:32:21,824
It just depends what the

4428
02:32:21,824 --> 02:32:25,728
topics of the cycle It MAY not

4429
02:32:25,728 --> 02:32:27,529
be annually every year, but we

4430
02:32:27,529 --> 02:32:28,197
do have different trainings,

4431
02:32:28,197 --> 02:32:29,965
different training topics,

4432
02:32:29,965 --> 02:32:31,867
some of those are mandated by

4433
02:32:31,867 --> 02:32:34,103
the state. And then I would

4434
02:32:34,103 --> 02:32:35,904
say that we have we offer over

4435
02:32:35,904 --> 02:32:37,606
100 hours of ongoing continual

4436
02:32:37,606 --> 02:32:38,974
training annually to every

4437
02:32:38,974 --> 02:32:39,642
officer. Thank you, Chief.

4438
02:32:39,642 --> 02:32:42,420
Thank you, MISTER CHAIRMAN.

4439
02:32:42,611 --> 02:32:43,279
Thank you. Council I assure

4440
02:32:43,279 --> 02:32:43,979
you, MISTER CHAIRMAN, make

4441
02:32:43,979 --> 02:32:46,181
this very brief. Just want to

4442
02:32:46,181 --> 02:32:49,118
make a couple of points. I

4443
02:32:49,118 --> 02:32:50,286
know the number 1743 been

4444
02:32:50,286 --> 02:32:53,886
brought up. Not only a lot

4445
02:32:54,890 --> 02:32:55,291
tonight, but over the past

4446
02:32:55,291 --> 02:32:56,759
several years. In fact, I

4447
02:32:56,759 --> 02:32:57,459
think on my dying day, the

4448
02:32:57,459 --> 02:33:00,459
number 17 43 will run back a

4449
02:33:04,366 --> 02:33:05,502
crossed my mind. 1743, my

4450
02:33:05,502 --> 02:33:06,201
understanding was a number

4451
02:33:06,201 --> 02:33:07,670
that the administration came

4452
02:33:07,670 --> 02:33:08,370
up with when they did a study

4453
02:33:08,370 --> 02:33:11,370
on what impd staffing should

4454
02:33:13,175 --> 02:33:14,944
be. It is true to say that

4455
02:33:14,944 --> 02:33:15,577
that number is now outdated

4456
02:33:15,577 --> 02:33:16,211
because the number today

4457
02:33:16,211 --> 02:33:18,211
necessary is tremendously

4458
02:33:22,451 --> 02:33:23,886
more. But we aren't near 1743.

4459
02:33:23,886 --> 02:33:25,187
I can't imagine how pest some

4460
02:33:25,187 --> 02:33:28,787
of the people on this caucus

4461
02:33:29,892 --> 02:33:33,620
in this council would be if we

4462
02:33:33,620 --> 02:33:34,630
allocated 2,200 officers

4463
02:33:34,630 --> 02:33:35,432
funding in an impd budget. I

4464
02:33:35,432 --> 02:33:36,465
think the idea is to work to

4465
02:33:36,465 --> 02:33:38,401
get towards that number. And

4466
02:33:38,401 --> 02:33:42,100
I'm sure the minute that impd

4467
02:33:42,538 --> 02:33:43,739
hires at 1740 3rd officer that

4468
02:33:43,739 --> 02:33:45,475
we will increase the number.

4469
02:33:45,475 --> 02:33:46,542
So I think it's important that

4470
02:33:46,542 --> 02:33:47,577
we have something to work

4471
02:33:47,577 --> 02:33:48,311
towards. I'm sure once we

4472
02:33:48,311 --> 02:33:50,547
achieve that, we will continue

4473
02:33:50,547 --> 02:33:52,148
to work towards additional

4474
02:33:52,148 --> 02:33:54,584
officers. Officers who can run

4475
02:33:54,584 --> 02:33:55,851
traffic officers. You don't

4476
02:33:55,851 --> 02:33:56,553
have to work as much overtime

4477
02:33:56,553 --> 02:33:58,555
and this time with their

4478
02:33:58,555 --> 02:34:00,955
family. Secondly, the idea

4479
02:34:01,423 --> 02:34:02,125
that officers live in Marion

4480
02:34:02,125 --> 02:34:03,593
County, there's nothing more

4481
02:34:03,593 --> 02:34:05,762
that I would like to see that

4482
02:34:05,762 --> 02:34:07,163
all of our impd officers live

4483
02:34:07,163 --> 02:34:08,765
in Indianapolis, Marin County.

4484
02:34:08,765 --> 02:34:10,367
I don't think there's anything

4485
02:34:10,367 --> 02:34:13,367
anybody from the Chiefs office

4486
02:34:14,471 --> 02:34:15,171
would like to see more then

4487
02:34:15,171 --> 02:34:16,973
then officers on impd live in

4488
02:34:16,973 --> 02:34:18,541
Marin County. That isn't the

4489
02:34:18,541 --> 02:34:20,941
reality. There aren't lines

4490
02:34:22,913 --> 02:34:23,580
down monument Circle. Trying

4491
02:34:23,580 --> 02:34:26,580
to become impd officers. We

4492
02:34:26,583 --> 02:34:27,284
have to be creative. Folks

4493
02:34:27,284 --> 02:34:28,118
want take-home cars. We have

4494
02:34:28,118 --> 02:34:31,718
to expand. Those are just the

4495
02:34:31,955 --> 02:34:32,622
realities. So some of my

4496
02:34:32,622 --> 02:34:34,622
colleagues, the suggestion

4497
02:34:35,725 --> 02:34:37,827
that we ought to be hiring.

4498
02:34:37,827 --> 02:34:39,763
Residents of Marin County,

4499
02:34:39,763 --> 02:34:40,363
obviously the idea that we

4500
02:34:40,363 --> 02:34:41,640
should have a police

4501
02:34:41,640 --> 02:34:42,265
department that's reflective

4502
02:34:42,265 --> 02:34:44,265
of our community

4503
02:34:44,367 --> 02:34:45,680
demographically, of course.

4504
02:34:45,680 --> 02:34:47,437
But that isn't the reality of

4505
02:34:47,437 --> 02:34:49,506
what we're saying. So I think

4506
02:34:49,506 --> 02:34:50,507
that's something we have to

4507
02:34:50,507 --> 02:34:51,207
work towards. But we also have

4508
02:34:51,207 --> 02:34:53,610
to work towards reality. But

4509
02:34:53,610 --> 02:34:54,344
that isn't the case today. And

4510
02:34:54,344 --> 02:34:57,315
then we have to make sure that

4511
02:34:57,315 --> 02:34:58,248
we have a fully staffed

4512
02:34:58,248 --> 02:34:59,916
department, but he's capable

4513
02:34:59,916 --> 02:35:02,916
of answering and responding to

4514
02:35:03,186 --> 02:35:04,188
the call so that when one of

4515
02:35:04,188 --> 02:35:05,220
us or our loved ones call

4516
02:35:05,220 --> 02:35:06,890
9-1-1, for whatever it might

4517
02:35:06,890 --> 02:35:08,124
be, somebody is there to

4518
02:35:08,124 --> 02:35:11,724
respond and I will fight that

4519
02:35:11,895 --> 02:35:13,563
point to the death. It's very

4520
02:35:13,563 --> 02:35:14,965
important that we ensure that

4521
02:35:14,965 --> 02:35:17,801
we are going out all across

4522
02:35:17,801 --> 02:35:20,201
central Indiana and recruiting

4523
02:35:20,438 --> 02:35:22,540
officers and then we get to

4524
02:35:22,540 --> 02:35:23,307
17. 43. And when the day comes

4525
02:35:23,307 --> 02:35:24,407
that there are lines from the

4526
02:35:24,407 --> 02:35:26,770
city county building to the

4527
02:35:26,770 --> 02:35:28,646
state House applying to be

4528
02:35:28,646 --> 02:35:31,646
impd officers. Then then we

4529
02:35:32,583 --> 02:35:33,917
can next. The Donut County

4530
02:35:33,917 --> 02:35:37,517
push. But we have to continue

4531
02:35:38,956 --> 02:35:39,690
forward progress. When know

4532
02:35:39,690 --> 02:35:40,992
that I'm for a public hearing,

4533
02:35:40,992 --> 02:35:41,659
testimony from those in the

4534
02:35:41,659 --> 02:35:44,659
audience as clerk, want to

4535
02:35:49,500 --> 02:35:50,134
read your statement, please.

4536
02:35:50,134 --> 02:35:50,768
Before reopening Florida

4537
02:35:50,768 --> 02:35:52,270
public comments. We like

4538
02:35:52,270 --> 02:35:54,670
treeline committee members and

4539
02:35:54,739 --> 02:35:55,506
the public. A few ground rules

4540
02:35:55,506 --> 02:35:57,842
so everyone can have a fair

4541
02:35:57,842 --> 02:35:58,643
chance to speak and be heard.

4542
02:35:58,643 --> 02:36:00,811
It is important that we each

4543
02:36:00,811 --> 02:36:01,746
observe following rules.

4544
02:36:01,746 --> 02:36:03,581
First, each speaker will be

4545
02:36:03,581 --> 02:36:05,981
limited to 2 minutes. Second,

4546
02:36:06,217 --> 02:36:08,617
any public comments most

4547
02:36:10,588 --> 02:36:11,490
recently related agenda item

4548
02:36:11,490 --> 02:36:12,757
under consideration. Speakers

4549
02:36:12,757 --> 02:36:15,757
to stray from item under

4550
02:36:16,594 --> 02:36:17,362
consideration become unduly

4551
02:36:17,362 --> 02:36:19,664
repetitious. Someone to next

4552
02:36:19,664 --> 02:36:21,664
conclude their comments.

4553
02:36:21,766 --> 02:36:23,340
Finally, it tends to cause

4554
02:36:23,340 --> 02:36:23,668
disruptions to prevent the

4555
02:36:23,668 --> 02:36:25,668
committee from proceeding

4556
02:36:25,903 --> 02:36:26,637
through tonight's agenda in a

4557
02:36:26,637 --> 02:36:29,370
recently efficient manner will

4558
02:36:30,341 --> 02:36:32,576
be removed. Please remember

4559
02:36:32,576 --> 02:36:33,311
this. Some types speech or

4560
02:36:33,311 --> 02:36:33,911
incitement to violence are not

4561
02:36:33,911 --> 02:36:36,113
protected by the First

4562
02:36:36,113 --> 02:36:36,981
Amendment. It out we would

4563
02:36:36,981 --> 02:36:39,517
deal with those issues if they

4564
02:36:39,517 --> 02:36:41,986
come up that we don't think

4565
02:36:41,986 --> 02:36:43,956
they And share mean if a

4566
02:36:43,956 --> 02:36:44,655
committee member asked for

4567
02:36:44,655 --> 02:36:45,289
consent to because it we can

4568
02:36:45,289 --> 02:36:47,920
adopt these rules. We can

4569
02:36:47,920 --> 02:36:48,359
proceed to public comments,

4570
02:36:48,359 --> 02:36:50,227
MR. Chair council Brown. I

4571
02:36:50,227 --> 02:36:51,295
would like to move that. We

4572
02:36:51,295 --> 02:36:53,695
extend the public 5 minutes

4573
02:36:54,165 --> 02:36:55,233
this evening as opposed to 2

4574
02:36:55,233 --> 02:36:56,134
minutes in light of the

4575
02:36:56,134 --> 02:36:58,690
significantly reduce number of

4576
02:36:58,690 --> 02:36:59,400
people remaining in the Thank

4577
02:36:59,400 --> 02:36:59,671
you. Council property

4578
02:36:59,671 --> 02:37:00,237
suggested peers who want to

4579
02:37:00,237 --> 02:37:01,205
make a recommendation

4580
02:37:01,205 --> 02:37:03,841
regarding that request. How we

4581
02:37:03,841 --> 02:37:04,676
move forward with that. I

4582
02:37:04,676 --> 02:37:06,877
think I think you vote on

4583
02:37:06,877 --> 02:37:07,578
whether or not that's

4584
02:37:07,578 --> 02:37:10,578
something you wanted to. The

4585
02:37:12,830 --> 02:37:15,830
Motion Council bro. Moos on

4586
02:37:15,220 --> 02:37:15,921
the floor extend the 2 minute

4587
02:37:15,921 --> 02:37:18,321
public testimony to 5 minutes

4588
02:37:20,125 --> 02:37:23,125
there. A second. Motion fails.

4589
02:37:26,231 --> 02:37:28,800
Thank you. As Clark. Sorry.

4590
02:37:28,800 --> 02:37:32,400
Wasn't about the clerk to as

4591
02:37:33,305 --> 02:37:36,108
clerk has The motion fails on

4592
02:37:36,108 --> 02:37:37,744
the 5 minute testimony, but

4593
02:37:37,744 --> 02:37:39,144
The lack of second and then

4594
02:37:39,144 --> 02:37:39,845
we'll go to the 2 minutes for

4595
02:37:39,845 --> 02:37:43,982
the pup test when the car has

4596
02:37:43,982 --> 02:37:45,984
a. A list of those individuals

4597
02:37:45,984 --> 02:37:46,685
color. First, 3 out, please

4598
02:37:46,685 --> 02:37:47,352

4599
02:37:47,352 --> 02:37:50,352
Please state your name. You

4600
02:37:51,490 --> 02:37:53,890
come forward. Corey Graham.

4601
02:37:57,896 --> 02:38:00,296
Mandi McIntosh, Sandra. Please

4602
02:38:03,268 --> 02:38:03,936
State your name. Most first

4603
02:38:03,936 --> 02:38:04,636
individuals. They're still

4604
02:38:04,636 --> 02:38:05,570
PRESIDENT. Come forward. You

4605
02:38:05,570 --> 02:38:08,570
name for the record. Please.

4606
02:38:13,745 --> 02:38:15,847
Mandi McIntosh. Hello? My name

4607
02:38:15,847 --> 02:38:17,820
is Mandee and I live in being

4608
02:38:17,820 --> 02:38:17,816
Creek. Another neighborhood

4609
02:38:17,816 --> 02:38:19,151
where police presence Lee's

4610
02:38:19,151 --> 02:38:21,551
many residents feeling more

4611
02:38:21,720 --> 02:38:22,721
unsafe rather than protected.

4612
02:38:22,721 --> 02:38:24,570
I am also a volunteer

4613
02:38:24,570 --> 02:38:24,990
organizer with the Valley.

4614
02:38:24,990 --> 02:38:26,726
This movement in partnership

4615
02:38:26,726 --> 02:38:29,695
with Live Free Indy. As

4616
02:38:29,695 --> 02:38:30,630
counselor Perkins said, if we

4617
02:38:30,630 --> 02:38:33,498
are going to get serious about

4618
02:38:33,498 --> 02:38:35,367
safety in our community, we

4619
02:38:35,367 --> 02:38:36,101
have to be equally serious

4620
02:38:36,101 --> 02:38:36,768
about accountability for those

4621
02:38:36,768 --> 02:38:39,768
who are tasked with public

4622
02:38:40,730 --> 02:38:41,741
safety. But if we the citizens

4623
02:38:41,741 --> 02:38:43,741
seeking that accountability

4624
02:38:44,777 --> 02:38:48,377
have to see force and violence

4625
02:38:48,982 --> 02:38:49,682
deployed by this body. Used on

4626
02:38:49,682 --> 02:38:51,416
someone just fighting to have

4627
02:38:51,416 --> 02:38:55,160
their voice heard. I have to

4628
02:38:55,555 --> 02:38:58,424
ask. How can we trust this

4629
02:38:58,424 --> 02:39:02,240
body to do anything to hold

4630
02:39:03,296 --> 02:39:05,640
these agencies accountable

4631
02:39:05,640 --> 02:39:05,665
laughter is being policed in

4632
02:39:05,665 --> 02:39:08,665
this place. If you fail

4633
02:39:09,602 --> 02:39:10,503
tonight. Every time you pass

4634
02:39:10,503 --> 02:39:13,172
this budget and the overtime

4635
02:39:13,172 --> 02:39:13,806
slush fund with it. You fail

4636
02:39:13,806 --> 02:39:16,206
this community. That's my

4637
02:39:25,218 --> 02:39:27,353
time. My name is Sandra

4638
02:39:27,353 --> 02:39:28,855
McLennan. I am an organizer

4639
02:39:28,855 --> 02:39:31,190
with the live free base in the

4640
02:39:31,190 --> 02:39:34,190
action coalition. We heard a

4641
02:39:34,661 --> 02:39:35,628
lot of rhetoric this evening

4642
02:39:35,628 --> 02:39:37,530
about accountability

4643
02:39:37,530 --> 02:39:40,530
standards, that sort of thing.

4644
02:39:41,701 --> 02:39:43,436
Each year. We come back to

4645
02:39:43,436 --> 02:39:46,572
this council and ask for that.

4646
02:39:46,572 --> 02:39:50,476
We ask you to hold the line on

4647
02:39:50,476 --> 02:39:52,876
accountability. And metrics of

4648
02:39:54,180 --> 02:39:54,847
effectiveness. And each year

4649
02:39:54,847 --> 02:39:57,847
this pie just chooses after

4650
02:39:59,419 --> 02:40:00,153
the focus. Chooses to close

4651
02:40:00,153 --> 02:40:03,753
its eyes and avoid the reality

4652
02:40:06,920 --> 02:40:06,794
in front of us. In 2 years.

4653
02:40:06,794 --> 02:40:10,598
This city will walk off of a

4654
02:40:10,598 --> 02:40:11,664
fiscal cliff. We will not have

4655
02:40:11,664 --> 02:40:15,264
money to meet the needs of

4656
02:40:15,736 --> 02:40:18,136
everyday residents. We will

4657
02:40:18,404 --> 02:40:19,730
continue to nickel and dime

4658
02:40:19,730 --> 02:40:20,407
the budget and throw a key

4659
02:40:20,407 --> 02:40:22,407
programs that support

4660
02:40:22,842 --> 02:40:24,842
vulnerable populations. As

4661
02:40:26,480 --> 02:40:30,800
this budget has dot. This will

4662
02:40:31,384 --> 02:40:32,286
not be enough. In 2 years. You

4663
02:40:32,286 --> 02:40:36,486
won't be able to look back and

4664
02:40:36,957 --> 02:40:40,557
blame Joe Hogsett. We are here

4665
02:40:40,561 --> 02:40:41,395
because committees like this

4666
02:40:41,395 --> 02:40:44,995
have let this budget grow out

4667
02:40:46,467 --> 02:40:49,467
of control. Instead of holding

4668
02:40:50,400 --> 02:40:52,404
this agency accountable to

4669
02:40:52,706 --> 02:40:53,407
success metrics like

4670
02:40:53,407 --> 02:40:55,407
recruitment numbers decreases

4671
02:40:57,912 --> 02:40:59,847
in use of force. Or solve the

4672
02:40:59,847 --> 02:41:00,648
murder cases. You ask the

4673
02:41:00,648 --> 02:41:03,648
taxpayers to just keep giving

4674
02:41:06,530 --> 02:41:08,453
without question. Earlier this

4675
02:41:09,657 --> 02:41:12,657
year, our jaws dropped. As

4676
02:41:13,127 --> 02:41:16,727
we're watching tv and we see

4677
02:41:17,665 --> 02:41:20,665
impd officer. Grab a teenager

4678
02:41:22,503 --> 02:41:26,103
and scream at him. I'm going

4679
02:41:29,510 --> 02:41:30,177
to kill you. Understand me.

4680
02:41:30,177 --> 02:41:33,177
That's my time. Thank you.

4681
02:41:35,249 --> 02:41:37,510
Thank you. Clerk you want to

4682
02:41:37,510 --> 02:41:38,786
read to you. Come forward the

4683
02:41:38,786 --> 02:41:41,186
region next 3 days, please.

4684
02:41:42,423 --> 02:41:44,823
Ericka Davis. Forward haven't

4685
02:41:48,330 --> 02:41:49,997
Devontae scrubs. My name is

4686
02:41:49,997 --> 02:41:52,997
Erica with Live Free, Indiana,

4687
02:41:54,350 --> 02:41:54,736
and the ballot. This movement.

4688
02:41:54,736 --> 02:41:58,336
We want to ours this council

4689
02:41:59,139 --> 02:41:59,808
to ask itself. What is your

4690
02:41:59,808 --> 02:42:01,808
responsibility and holding

4691
02:42:02,643 --> 02:42:05,430
this agency accountable? We

4692
02:42:05,847 --> 02:42:07,820
believe this is critical in

4693
02:42:07,820 --> 02:42:07,781
your role. And unfortunately,

4694
02:42:07,781 --> 02:42:10,781
it seems like you've ignored

4695
02:42:13,488 --> 02:42:14,523
this responsibility. Earlier

4696
02:42:14,523 --> 02:42:17,157
this summer we develops or

4697
02:42:17,157 --> 02:42:18,827
acquires far city councilors.

4698
02:42:18,827 --> 02:42:22,197
Most of this committee did not

4699
02:42:22,197 --> 02:42:25,197
receive a passing grade. The

4700
02:42:26,167 --> 02:42:28,567
most consistent mark against

4701
02:42:28,703 --> 02:42:31,703
this goers was the unflinching

4702
02:42:32,730 --> 02:42:32,774
support for the impd budget,

4703
02:42:32,774 --> 02:42:35,443
even though they had been big

4704
02:42:35,443 --> 02:42:38,443
question marks every year. Our

4705
02:42:39,948 --> 02:42:40,582
movement is very clear. If the

4706
02:42:40,582 --> 02:42:42,982
choice is supporting this

4707
02:42:43,551 --> 02:42:45,520
budget will not pivot. Then we

4708
02:42:45,520 --> 02:42:47,289
have to get serious about

4709
02:42:47,289 --> 02:42:48,560
pivoting. Some of the

4710
02:42:48,560 --> 02:42:50,456
COUNCILMAN And COUNCILWOMAN In

4711
02:42:57,990 --> 02:42:57,800
this out of your seats. We're

4712
02:42:57,800 --> 02:43:00,800
going to rank candidates this

4713
02:43:02,370 --> 02:43:04,439
upcoming cycle. And those who

4714
02:43:04,439 --> 02:43:06,274
are not receiving a passing

4715
02:43:06,274 --> 02:43:06,975
grade MAY find themselves

4716
02:43:06,975 --> 02:43:09,878
facing a live free candidate

4717
02:43:09,878 --> 02:43:13,882
on the ballot. We want to work

4718
02:43:13,882 --> 02:43:15,170
with this council. Okay. We

4719
02:43:15,170 --> 02:43:16,952
want to work with this

4720
02:43:16,952 --> 02:43:18,187
council. But if this body

4721
02:43:18,187 --> 02:43:19,821
refuses to take seriously the

4722
02:43:19,821 --> 02:43:22,490
concerns that truly keep us

4723
02:43:22,490 --> 02:43:24,559
safe and hope this agency

4724
02:43:24,559 --> 02:43:25,293
accountable we will have to

4725
02:43:25,293 --> 02:43:27,290
advocate for our community and

4726
02:43:27,290 --> 02:43:27,729
find different leadership.

4727
02:43:27,729 --> 02:43:31,329
Thank you. Thank you for your

4728
02:43:36,720 --> 02:43:38,400
comments. Now. I'm a bike

4729
02:43:38,400 --> 02:43:38,708
Baptist preacher so I

4730
02:43:38,708 --> 02:43:41,708
guarantee that. I'll be a 2

4731
02:43:42,877 --> 02:43:43,512
minutes. But I will guarantee

4732
02:43:43,512 --> 02:43:47,249
that re what I have on my

4733
02:43:47,249 --> 02:43:50,249
paper. A man. Devontae scrolls

4734
02:43:51,787 --> 02:43:52,455
Exodus. Farrow became afraid

4735
02:43:52,455 --> 02:43:56,550
of the people he could not

4736
02:43:56,580 --> 02:43:59,658
control. So he turned his fear

4737
02:44:00,960 --> 02:44:03,960
into public policy. He used

4738
02:44:03,990 --> 02:44:04,330
the power of government to

4739
02:44:04,330 --> 02:44:04,734
decide which lives will be

4740
02:44:04,734 --> 02:44:07,734
protected in which sons could

4741
02:44:09,805 --> 02:44:10,439
be teal. Farrell did not carry

4742
02:44:10,439 --> 02:44:14,390
out every at with his own

4743
02:44:14,511 --> 02:44:17,511
hands. He built the system.

4744
02:44:18,147 --> 02:44:18,814
Issued orders. And gave others

4745
02:44:18,814 --> 02:44:21,814
the authority to carry them

4746
02:44:23,419 --> 02:44:24,153
out. Members of this committee

4747
02:44:24,153 --> 02:44:24,854
before you look at the numbers

4748
02:44:24,854 --> 02:44:28,454
in this budget, look at this

4749
02:44:31,994 --> 02:44:34,196
picture. That's down yet. He

4750
02:44:34,196 --> 02:44:36,599
was 21 years old. Us and

4751
02:44:36,599 --> 02:44:38,601
father. Good to see you.

4752
02:44:38,601 --> 02:44:41,601
Chief. A brother. And my

4753
02:44:44,730 --> 02:44:44,707
cousin. Our family chose this

4754
02:44:44,707 --> 02:44:46,742
photograph to protect his

4755
02:44:46,742 --> 02:44:49,142
dignity beneath that Dallis

4756
02:44:51,213 --> 02:44:51,847
body carried 9 bullets.

4757
02:44:51,847 --> 02:44:52,548
Tonight I am Pete impd is

4758
02:44:52,548 --> 02:44:55,548
asking the city for nearly

4759
02:44:56,953 --> 02:44:57,621
400 million dollars. The

4760
02:44:57,621 --> 02:44:59,890
department is asking you to

4761
02:44:59,890 --> 02:45:00,890
consider what it needs. Dallas

4762
02:45:00,890 --> 02:45:01,557
body forces you to confront

4763
02:45:01,557 --> 02:45:04,557
what the power has already

4764
02:45:05,620 --> 02:45:08,231
done. Impd for said down the

4765
02:45:08,231 --> 02:45:08,865
shot 2 officers and later

4766
02:45:08,865 --> 02:45:10,865
acknowledge MISS Tonight.

4767
02:45:11,201 --> 02:45:12,336
They're now saying the dollars

4768
02:45:12,336 --> 02:45:14,271
did not do it. And now tonight

4769
02:45:14,271 --> 02:45:16,472
they're saying he did do it.

4770
02:45:16,472 --> 02:45:17,374
But we don't know what really

4771
02:45:17,374 --> 02:45:20,974
happened. We were told to get

4772
02:45:21,445 --> 02:45:22,112
it in litigation. You MAY not

4773
02:45:22,112 --> 02:45:24,512
control the prosecutor, but

4774
02:45:26,316 --> 02:45:26,950
you do control the purse. Hope

4775
02:45:26,950 --> 02:45:29,350
this request require the

4776
02:45:30,220 --> 02:45:32,423
footage for choir. A public

4777
02:45:32,423 --> 02:45:34,224
accounting require meaningful

4778
02:45:34,224 --> 02:45:35,392
oversight before you place.

4779
02:45:35,392 --> 02:45:37,160
Nearly 400 million more

4780
02:45:37,160 --> 02:45:39,160
dollars behind this

4781
02:45:39,363 --> 02:45:39,997
department. But the story an

4782
02:45:39,997 --> 02:45:40,697
exodus did not even with

4783
02:45:40,697 --> 02:45:43,970
Tehran. You've got understand

4784
02:45:44,868 --> 02:45:47,237
that. The midwives. They

4785
02:45:47,237 --> 02:45:50,237
refuse to surrender life to

4786
02:45:50,974 --> 02:45:52,876
demand of power. They

4787
02:45:52,876 --> 02:45:54,444
understood that when death

4788
02:45:54,444 --> 02:45:56,546
becomes organize, life has to

4789
02:45:56,546 --> 02:45:59,483
get organized to. I'm almost

4790
02:45:59,483 --> 02:46:00,150
let me say this. Your vote

4791
02:46:00,150 --> 02:46:02,550
organized this city toward

4792
02:46:05,188 --> 02:46:07,190
life. Your vote can declare

4793
02:46:07,190 --> 02:46:07,858
that Indianapolis will not

4794
02:46:07,858 --> 02:46:10,258
finance silence and college

4795
02:46:14,865 --> 02:46:17,434
safety. Your vote can declare

4796
02:46:17,434 --> 02:46:19,200
that black lives is worth more

4797
02:46:19,200 --> 02:46:19,503
than protecting the

4798
02:46:19,503 --> 02:46:21,503
institution from

4799
02:46:22,706 --> 02:46:24,908
accountability. Do not give

4800
02:46:24,908 --> 02:46:26,877
fair role. Another chariot,

4801
02:46:26,877 --> 02:46:29,277
another police car. Another

4802
02:46:34,919 --> 02:46:35,852
ratings. Do not phone refuse

4803
02:46:35,852 --> 02:46:39,452
to confront. You need to hold

4804
02:46:40,324 --> 02:46:41,250
impd accountable. You need to

4805
02:46:41,250 --> 02:46:41,726
really adds to real questions

4806
02:46:41,726 --> 02:46:44,940
of what's going on where this

4807
02:46:44,940 --> 02:46:46,830
money is going. And we need

4808
02:46:46,830 --> 02:46:47,531
justice for dollars. Check.

4809
02:46:47,531 --> 02:46:50,531
Thank you for your comments.

4810
02:46:54,973 --> 02:46:56,540
Are. Well South Pasco, Johnny

4811
02:46:56,540 --> 02:46:58,940
Hall, just terrific. And

4812
02:47:01,613 --> 02:47:04,613
William Smith. One read off 2

4813
02:47:06,217 --> 02:47:09,217
more names. Please escort. No

4814
02:47:11,322 --> 02:47:12,560
rg Thank you. Good evening,

4815
02:47:12,560 --> 02:47:12,724
Josh Reddick. The other for me

4816
02:47:12,724 --> 02:47:14,192
got kicked out. I was for a

4817
02:47:14,192 --> 02:47:16,592
moment, kicked out the

4818
02:47:17,729 --> 02:47:18,396
escalating in the hallway.

4819
02:47:18,396 --> 02:47:20,498
Some reason I was asked to

4820
02:47:20,498 --> 02:47:21,332
leave despite trying to keep

4821
02:47:21,332 --> 02:47:24,932
peace in the space for that

4822
02:47:26,671 --> 02:47:27,272
brand for tonight. I MISS My

4823
02:47:27,272 --> 02:47:27,972
update on my daughter's

4824
02:47:27,972 --> 02:47:30,972
cheerleading because I had to

4825
02:47:31,243 --> 02:47:31,944
be here. I want to see if she

4826
02:47:31,944 --> 02:47:32,644
made the team. In fact, I've

4827
02:47:32,644 --> 02:47:35,113
been coming here for 10 years

4828
02:47:35,113 --> 02:47:35,813
now since I got to the city.

4829
02:47:35,813 --> 02:47:36,514
As I've gotten to the city,

4830
02:47:36,514 --> 02:47:38,149
have seen a community that is

4831
02:47:38,149 --> 02:47:38,716
desperate for change in deeply

4832
02:47:38,716 --> 02:47:40,716
hungry for something

4833
02:47:42,220 --> 02:47:43,388
different. A city that has so

4834
02:47:43,388 --> 02:47:44,550
much potential and so much

4835
02:47:44,550 --> 02:47:47,550
pent-up energy that you all

4836
02:47:47,625 --> 02:47:48,860
saw as a fraction in the room.

4837
02:47:48,860 --> 02:47:49,560
The city can't move forward

4838
02:47:49,560 --> 02:47:50,295
because committees like this

4839
02:47:50,295 --> 02:47:53,531
one, nothing more than to hold

4840
02:47:53,531 --> 02:47:55,466
it back. Every year. We come

4841
02:47:55,466 --> 02:47:56,634
in here and you handled the

4842
02:47:56,634 --> 02:47:57,502
scent with greater force to

4843
02:47:57,502 --> 02:47:58,169
handle critique was silent.

4844
02:47:58,169 --> 02:47:58,770
You handle invitations for

4845
02:47:58,770 --> 02:47:59,404
innovations like it's a

4846
02:47:59,404 --> 02:48:01,804
foreign language. You can

4847
02:48:03,107 --> 02:48:03,808
speak. And each year you've

4848
02:48:03,808 --> 02:48:04,575
resisted building the public

4849
02:48:04,575 --> 02:48:05,243
safety system that meets the

4850
02:48:05,243 --> 02:48:08,479
needs of this moment in the

4851
02:48:08,479 --> 02:48:09,782
future of our city. It's

4852
02:48:09,782 --> 02:48:10,515
costing us, as Erica said

4853
02:48:10,515 --> 02:48:13,852
earlier is going to cause some

4854
02:48:13,852 --> 02:48:14,485
of the seats, too. We are

4855
02:48:14,485 --> 02:48:16,885
marching towards a fiscal

4856
02:48:17,722 --> 02:48:18,456
crisis in the city. And you

4857
02:48:18,456 --> 02:48:21,593
let the mayor and the fop both

4858
02:48:21,593 --> 02:48:22,294
you every single year. Instead

4859
02:48:22,294 --> 02:48:22,994
of fighting back, you believe

4860
02:48:22,994 --> 02:48:25,898
the people that come in here

4861
02:48:25,898 --> 02:48:27,265
and say that's not enough.

4862
02:48:27,265 --> 02:48:27,932
Every year you come in here

4863
02:48:27,932 --> 02:48:28,567
and some of your districts

4864
02:48:28,567 --> 02:48:29,234
where we have the highest

4865
02:48:29,234 --> 02:48:29,934
number of police action

4866
02:48:29,934 --> 02:48:32,934
shootings and you say nothing

4867
02:48:33,404 --> 02:48:34,105
about it. Have the highest

4868
02:48:34,105 --> 02:48:36,407
number of overdoses that need

4869
02:48:36,407 --> 02:48:37,750
a different kind of response

4870
02:48:37,750 --> 02:48:38,210
because in my neighborhood

4871
02:48:38,210 --> 02:48:40,311
when the cop show up during an

4872
02:48:40,311 --> 02:48:40,980
overdose, they take the bat

4873
02:48:40,980 --> 02:48:41,614
product they thrown in the

4874
02:48:41,614 --> 02:48:44,683
trash can to the cops are

4875
02:48:44,683 --> 02:48:45,350
going overdose again. Folks

4876
02:48:45,350 --> 02:48:46,510
need treatment. They can't

4877
02:48:46,510 --> 02:48:47,753
access it because our single

4878
02:48:47,753 --> 02:48:48,486
point of contact is the same

4879
02:48:48,486 --> 02:48:51,490
point of contact that shows up

4880
02:48:51,490 --> 02:48:52,691
every other kind response. The

4881
02:48:52,691 --> 02:48:53,726
absence of creativity is

4882
02:48:53,726 --> 02:48:56,262
costing lives and it's costing

4883
02:48:56,262 --> 02:48:58,430
every taxpayer in the city.

4884
02:48:58,430 --> 02:48:59,732
And until that is understood

4885
02:48:59,732 --> 02:49:00,432
and changed our move, it's

4886
02:49:00,432 --> 02:49:01,660
going to keep building power

4887
02:49:01,660 --> 02:49:01,734
to find some folks who do

4888
02:49:01,734 --> 02:49:04,134
understand that. Thank you.

4889
02:49:10,109 --> 02:49:10,809
Thank you for your comments.

4890
02:49:10,809 --> 02:49:13,209
William Smith, Wayne Township

4891
02:49:14,580 --> 02:49:15,381
Precinct, Captain. And I want

4892
02:49:15,381 --> 02:49:16,810
to do what I do best speak-up

4893
02:49:16,810 --> 02:49:18,481
impromptu, something I wrote

4894
02:49:18,617 --> 02:49:21,617
tonight. Night shots and I

4895
02:49:21,820 --> 02:49:23,188
thought I knew what happened.

4896
02:49:23,188 --> 02:49:25,291
Yeah, I see that was not as it

4897
02:49:25,291 --> 02:49:26,625
seems as I watched listened to

4898
02:49:26,625 --> 02:49:29,625
the chief, the silence was

4899
02:49:29,728 --> 02:49:32,631
deafening. That's I ask what

4900
02:49:32,631 --> 02:49:33,365
exactly is transparency? Is it

4901
02:49:33,365 --> 02:49:36,365
kicking out those emotions run

4902
02:49:39,380 --> 02:49:39,805
hot? Is it a question of

4903
02:49:39,805 --> 02:49:40,472
40 million dollars ball Dallas

4904
02:49:40,472 --> 02:49:42,274
Jets starter they grow up,

4905
02:49:42,274 --> 02:49:42,975
never knowing their father.

4906
02:49:42,975 --> 02:49:45,375
Resident question of 9 shots

4907
02:49:45,878 --> 02:49:46,478
on the back and that waiting

4908
02:49:46,478 --> 02:49:48,878
for answers that keeps

4909
02:49:51,150 --> 02:49:52,218
shifting like quicksand. I ask

4910
02:49:52,218 --> 02:49:53,519
something just stand here and

4911
02:49:53,519 --> 02:49:56,519
accept the answers that we're

4912
02:49:56,622 --> 02:49:59,326
given. I say no, not while

4913
02:49:59,326 --> 02:50:00,250
Dallas Jets, Texas, from

4914
02:50:00,250 --> 02:50:03,162
tooth. Now I see so many

4915
02:50:03,162 --> 02:50:03,896
removed from the council room.

4916
02:50:03,896 --> 02:50:05,632
Being shot in the back. Simply

4917
02:50:05,632 --> 02:50:08,535
speaking their minds or even

4918
02:50:08,535 --> 02:50:11,535
laughter. Thank you. Thank you

4919
02:50:15,800 --> 02:50:15,642
for your comments. But looks

4920
02:50:15,642 --> 02:50:17,642
like uncertainty rebut 3

4921
02:50:18,712 --> 02:50:19,379
winnings. Sorry, sir. You do

4922
02:50:19,379 --> 02:50:22,379
it. Well, read these names

4923
02:50:25,852 --> 02:50:28,252
are. Danny Abdullah Gray

4924
02:50:28,421 --> 02:50:30,123
Steinhardt Tour and Everett.

4925
02:50:30,123 --> 02:50:31,324
Gar jet and then see whole

4926
02:50:31,324 --> 02:50:34,324
Grain. Thank you, sir. Thank

4927
02:50:36,596 --> 02:50:37,297
you. As clerk. Write, my name

4928
02:50:37,297 --> 02:50:40,100
is not a line with the party

4929
02:50:40,100 --> 02:50:42,102
for Socialism and Liberation.

4930
02:50:42,102 --> 02:50:42,769
I honestly have to say I was

4931
02:50:42,769 --> 02:50:43,403
really disgusted with the

4932
02:50:43,403 --> 02:50:45,803
behavior of this council

4933
02:50:46,720 --> 02:50:46,740
earlier this evening. A lot of

4934
02:50:46,740 --> 02:50:49,140
people like Council Bryant

4935
02:50:49,242 --> 02:50:51,279
Brown said that came out of

4936
02:50:51,279 --> 02:50:53,460
this meeting to, you know, so

4937
02:50:53,460 --> 02:50:55,715
there their concern and care

4938
02:50:55,715 --> 02:50:57,784
for community and for Dallas

4939
02:50:57,784 --> 02:51:01,384
jet who was shot 9 times by

4940
02:51:01,988 --> 02:51:02,722
tying Terry's police force.

4941
02:51:02,722 --> 02:51:04,491
And we if she was such a great

4942
02:51:04,491 --> 02:51:05,910
leader. She would have been

4943
02:51:05,910 --> 02:51:07,491
meeting with the family

4944
02:51:07,928 --> 02:51:08,628
meeting with the community

4945
02:51:08,628 --> 02:51:11,131
trying to smooth things over

4946
02:51:11,131 --> 02:51:12,933
and we never saw that happen.

4947
02:51:12,933 --> 02:51:14,301
We never got the answers that

4948
02:51:14,301 --> 02:51:17,901
we want. We haven't seen the

4949
02:51:18,400 --> 02:51:19,506
complete video footage. So,

4950
02:51:19,506 --> 02:51:20,140
you know, Perkins makes a good

4951
02:51:20,140 --> 02:51:20,774
point that it's a few bad

4952
02:51:20,774 --> 02:51:22,943
apples, but we've got to

4953
02:51:22,943 --> 02:51:26,543
finish the quo. A few bad

4954
02:51:27,782 --> 02:51:31,319
apple spoils the bunch. And so

4955
02:51:31,319 --> 02:51:32,520
we have a system of cops and I

4956
02:51:32,520 --> 02:51:33,687
don't think black caps will do

4957
02:51:33,687 --> 02:51:36,687
it because James, by always,

4958
02:51:40,126 --> 02:51:40,761
he told us that the black caps

4959
02:51:40,761 --> 02:51:42,128
have more to prove. So we

4960
02:51:42,128 --> 02:51:43,496
needs a complete overhaul of

4961
02:51:43,496 --> 02:51:45,298
impd. We need a complete

4962
02:51:45,298 --> 02:51:48,135
overhaul of this council. I

4963
02:51:48,135 --> 02:51:49,636
was completely discuss to like

4964
02:51:49,636 --> 02:51:50,237
people showed up to really

4965
02:51:50,237 --> 02:51:52,637
voice there, just their

4966
02:51:53,774 --> 02:51:55,842
displeasure with impd. And

4967
02:51:55,842 --> 02:51:56,544
this is what we did. We threw

4968
02:51:56,544 --> 02:51:59,547
out a black man and you threw

4969
02:51:59,547 --> 02:52:00,280
out a black man. Robertson,

4970
02:52:00,280 --> 02:52:00,947
because time that some funding

4971
02:52:00,947 --> 02:52:05,147
to says that a lot of funny

4972
02:52:07,321 --> 02:52:09,424
sit. So we don't want this

4973
02:52:09,424 --> 02:52:10,958
400 million dollars going so

4974
02:52:10,958 --> 02:52:11,692
impd we would rather

4975
02:52:11,692 --> 02:52:14,920
reallocated better things like

4976
02:52:14,495 --> 02:52:15,196
our infrastructure like are,

4977
02:52:15,196 --> 02:52:18,196
you know, we had devastating

4978
02:52:20,340 --> 02:52:20,968
floods in the city. I'm like

4979
02:52:20,968 --> 02:52:21,969
giving us some better panned

4980
02:52:21,969 --> 02:52:22,603
jobs. Like maybe I could be

4981
02:52:22,603 --> 02:52:25,603
thinking about ways to do

4982
02:52:26,307 --> 02:52:27,408
that. Other thing, giving them

4983
02:52:27,408 --> 02:52:28,750
400 billion 1 million dollar

4984
02:52:28,750 --> 02:52:28,743
blank check like they don't

4985
02:52:28,743 --> 02:52:29,744
need it. They don't deserve

4986
02:52:29,744 --> 02:52:32,744
it. Thank you for your

4987
02:52:40,988 --> 02:52:41,722
comments. I'm Dani. I do love

4988
02:52:41,722 --> 02:52:43,691
I am a mother, a social

4989
02:52:43,691 --> 02:52:44,293
worker, a trauma. There is a

4990
02:52:44,293 --> 02:52:47,293
member of the party for

4991
02:52:47,796 --> 02:52:50,196
Socialism Liberation. And I'm

4992
02:52:50,564 --> 02:52:53,868
also a far East Side resident

4993
02:52:53,868 --> 02:52:55,169
where impd murder Dallas jet.

4994
02:52:55,169 --> 02:52:55,803
And I'm here because I love

4995
02:52:55,803 --> 02:52:57,803
the people, Indianapolis

4996
02:53:00,341 --> 02:53:00,908
Conus. I know you have no

4997
02:53:00,908 --> 02:53:01,609
intention of actually

4998
02:53:01,609 --> 02:53:02,810
listening says, but there's a

4999
02:53:02,810 --> 02:53:03,611
few things I gotta say. All

5000
02:53:03,611 --> 02:53:07,281
right. So this is a pattern of

5001
02:53:07,281 --> 02:53:08,150
behavior. Dallas does not one

5002
02:53:08,150 --> 02:53:10,251
off incident. We have Adam. We

5003
02:53:10,251 --> 02:53:12,387
have Gary Hero. And so this is

5004
02:53:12,387 --> 02:53:13,921
an issue that predates Chief

5005
02:53:13,921 --> 02:53:15,560
Terry, someone out here said

5006
02:53:15,560 --> 02:53:15,791
that you, Terry, is a good

5007
02:53:15,791 --> 02:53:17,258
police chief and I actually

5008
02:53:17,258 --> 02:53:18,192
agree with job because she a

5009
02:53:18,192 --> 02:53:20,428
puppet as you don't. Exactly

5010
02:53:20,428 --> 02:53:21,629
what about his supposed to do

5011
02:53:21,629 --> 02:53:25,801
right? I want to talk about in

5012
02:53:25,801 --> 02:53:28,303
can I cat as a trauma there is

5013
02:53:28,303 --> 02:53:29,370
mental health is near and dear

5014
02:53:29,370 --> 02:53:30,906
to me, I know how to

5015
02:53:30,906 --> 02:53:32,707
de-escalate a situation while

5016
02:53:32,707 --> 02:53:33,407
killing people. And I've done

5017
02:53:33,407 --> 02:53:36,744
it many times and I'm not the

5018
02:53:36,744 --> 02:53:38,246
I'm not very tall. I've never

5019
02:53:38,246 --> 02:53:38,914
killed anybody and every shiny

5020
02:53:38,914 --> 02:53:40,682
body in the back when they

5021
02:53:40,682 --> 02:53:42,850
were running away from me and,

5022
02:53:42,850 --> 02:53:43,819
you continue to defund mental

5023
02:53:43,819 --> 02:53:46,219
health. Impd wants 400 million

5024
02:53:47,990 --> 02:53:48,924
dollars. Reverend Scruggs said

5025
02:53:48,924 --> 02:53:50,759
outside, you don't get

5026
02:53:50,759 --> 02:53:52,759
400 million dollars. One

5027
02:53:52,828 --> 02:53:54,129
dollars jet and his family

5028
02:53:54,129 --> 02:53:54,763
still don't have answers to

5029
02:53:54,763 --> 02:53:57,763
why their loved one has 9

5030
02:53:58,660 --> 02:54:01,660
bullets in his back. 25% of

5031
02:54:02,804 --> 02:54:03,972
the budget is going impd.

5032
02:54:03,972 --> 02:54:04,673
Budget has doubled since 2017

5033
02:54:04,673 --> 02:54:06,241
and yet people continue to be

5034
02:54:06,241 --> 02:54:09,241
killed and tortured. The issue

5035
02:54:09,311 --> 02:54:10,450
is not recruitment. The people

5036
02:54:10,450 --> 02:54:10,712
Indianapolis just don't become

5037
02:54:10,712 --> 02:54:12,147
thugs and criminals that I

5038
02:54:12,147 --> 02:54:15,147
think we are. That's what's

5039
02:54:15,384 --> 02:54:16,318
going on right now. Kicking

5040
02:54:16,318 --> 02:54:19,918
people out for being mean to

5041
02:54:19,955 --> 02:54:21,491
the police chief for laughing

5042
02:54:21,491 --> 02:54:22,157
at comments. But no one is

5043
02:54:22,157 --> 02:54:24,426
getting kicked out impd for

5044
02:54:24,426 --> 02:54:27,329
shooting people in back. That

5045
02:54:27,329 --> 02:54:28,196
was was shot in the back 9

5046
02:54:28,196 --> 02:54:30,532
times. But I want to keep

5047
02:54:30,532 --> 02:54:31,266
talking about transparency.

5048
02:54:31,266 --> 02:54:32,301
And yet his daddy is still not

5049
02:54:32,301 --> 02:54:35,301
seeing the full footage. Young

5050
02:54:43,813 --> 02:54:44,414
bull. Bauer, My name is rest

5051
02:54:44,414 --> 02:54:47,683
and hurt. And I live in

5052
02:54:47,683 --> 02:54:48,384
Lawrence Township have some

5053
02:54:48,384 --> 02:54:49,151
comments about the flock

5054
02:54:49,151 --> 02:54:51,854
cameras. The lpr is automatic

5055
02:54:51,854 --> 02:54:53,221
license plate readers,

5056
02:54:53,221 --> 02:54:55,621
Hendricks County and Johnson

5057
02:54:55,891 --> 02:54:56,525
counties have flocked

5058
02:54:56,525 --> 02:54:57,192
transparency hubs. Well,

5059
02:54:57,192 --> 02:54:57,927
Marion County has drafts of

5060
02:54:57,927 --> 02:54:58,627
standard operating procedures.

5061
02:54:58,627 --> 02:55:00,997
We don't have any information

5062
02:55:00,997 --> 02:55:02,998
about that publicly available.

5063
02:55:02,998 --> 02:55:04,133
And impd officer was recently

5064
02:55:04,133 --> 02:55:05,101
suspended for alpr misuse

5065
02:55:05,101 --> 02:55:07,437
which we found out not from an

5066
02:55:07,437 --> 02:55:10,437
audit. But from The Washington

5067
02:55:10,839 --> 02:55:12,575
Post when Lprs misread, it is

5068
02:55:12,575 --> 02:55:13,209
costly. Aurora, Colorado

5069
02:55:13,209 --> 02:55:15,209
recently settled for 1.9

5070
02:55:17,246 --> 02:55:18,781
million dollars for incident

5071
02:55:18,781 --> 02:55:19,414
in Twenty-twenty where woman

5072
02:55:19,414 --> 02:55:20,480
in her entire family were

5073
02:55:20,480 --> 02:55:20,783
forced onto hot asphalt

5074
02:55:20,783 --> 02:55:23,783
because they misread a minivan

5075
02:55:27,230 --> 02:55:27,957
as a motorcycle. Next Lpr

5076
02:55:27,957 --> 02:55:30,357
result in innocent people

5077
02:55:30,660 --> 02:55:31,894
being arrested and held at

5078
02:55:31,894 --> 02:55:32,529
gunpoint per Benjamin Franklin

5079
02:55:32,529 --> 02:55:34,664
and the General Blackston

5080
02:55:34,664 --> 02:55:36,199
ratio, legal principle. It is

5081
02:55:36,199 --> 02:55:36,866
better for 100 guilty persons

5082
02:55:36,866 --> 02:55:39,866
to escape than one innocent

5083
02:55:41,704 --> 02:55:43,704
person should suffer

5084
02:55:43,840 --> 02:55:44,507
computers. Make the push lower

5085
02:55:44,507 --> 02:55:45,141
case letter l compared to a

5086
02:55:45,141 --> 02:55:46,542
number one on the license

5087
02:55:46,542 --> 02:55:48,878
plate can be very easily

5088
02:55:48,878 --> 02:55:49,579
misread know would like to see

5089
02:55:49,579 --> 02:55:52,915
the data on how ours is being

5090
02:55:52,915 --> 02:55:54,500
used right now. We cannot

5091
02:55:54,500 --> 02:55:54,717
afford to turn India into a

5092
02:55:54,717 --> 02:55:56,386
Penndot. The connaught only

5093
02:55:56,386 --> 02:55:58,488
for the moral quandaries. But

5094
02:55:58,488 --> 02:56:00,523
for how much those settlements

5095
02:56:00,523 --> 02:56:01,824
will cost our city over the

5096
02:56:01,824 --> 02:56:02,558
next we'll say 10 years

5097
02:56:02,558 --> 02:56:05,558
because litigation takes a lot

5098
02:56:06,229 --> 02:56:06,996
of different time. Separately

5099
02:56:06,996 --> 02:56:09,866
about impd officer should be

5100
02:56:09,866 --> 02:56:12,266
from Marion County. There's

5101
02:56:13,603 --> 02:56:14,738
nothing about us without we

5102
02:56:14,738 --> 02:56:15,772
don't send National Guard from

5103
02:56:15,772 --> 02:56:16,806
Ohio and Indiana help out.

5104
02:56:16,806 --> 02:56:19,609
Should be our people. People

5105
02:56:19,609 --> 02:56:20,944
have a stake in the community

5106
02:56:20,944 --> 02:56:23,344
making those decisions. That's

5107
02:56:29,485 --> 02:56:32,355
all I have. Thank. Thank you.

5108
02:56:32,355 --> 02:56:33,324
Good My name. The story on

5109
02:56:33,324 --> 02:56:36,324
Everett. My comments are going

5110
02:56:36,794 --> 02:56:38,227
to be a little different

5111
02:56:38,227 --> 02:56:40,630
public safety conversations

5112
02:56:40,630 --> 02:56:42,700
can be very difficult as we've

5113
02:56:42,700 --> 02:56:44,000
seen tonight. But

5114
02:56:44,000 --> 02:56:45,970
accountability, trust strong

5115
02:56:45,970 --> 02:56:46,903
community relationships remain

5116
02:56:46,903 --> 02:56:49,903
essential to getting this work

5117
02:56:50,908 --> 02:56:53,420
right. Last month, a

5118
02:56:53,420 --> 02:56:55,420
participated in leadership.

5119
02:56:56,145 --> 02:56:56,814
Indianapolis is Opportunity.

5120
02:56:56,814 --> 02:56:58,482
Indianapolis program, where

5121
02:56:58,482 --> 02:57:00,517
heard directly from Chief

5122
02:57:00,517 --> 02:57:01,218
Terry and reviewed impd

5123
02:57:01,218 --> 02:57:04,218
strategic plan that she spoke

5124
02:57:05,189 --> 02:57:06,256
to this evening with food out

5125
02:57:06,256 --> 02:57:08,920
was the focus on share

5126
02:57:08,920 --> 02:57:09,860
responsibility. Stronger

5127
02:57:09,860 --> 02:57:10,527
partnerships and getting more

5128
02:57:10,527 --> 02:57:12,927
frontline officers into the

5129
02:57:13,364 --> 02:57:15,364
neighborhoods they serve.

5130
02:57:17,401 --> 02:57:18,569
Chief Terry also emphasize

5131
02:57:18,569 --> 02:57:19,603
remaining acessible and what

5132
02:57:19,603 --> 02:57:21,372
accessible and connected not

5133
02:57:21,372 --> 02:57:22,940
simply leading from within the

5134
02:57:22,940 --> 02:57:23,674
department. That matters

5135
02:57:23,674 --> 02:57:26,674
because the strategic plan was

5136
02:57:27,811 --> 02:57:28,879
informed by community input as

5137
02:57:28,879 --> 02:57:31,279
council considers this budget.

5138
02:57:31,915 --> 02:57:33,817
I encourage you to ensure that

5139
02:57:33,817 --> 02:57:34,852
impd not only has the capacity

5140
02:57:34,852 --> 02:57:39,523
for what he needs to do on a

5141
02:57:39,523 --> 02:57:40,157
day-to-day basis, but also to

5142
02:57:40,157 --> 02:57:42,557
fulfill its commitment to

5143
02:57:42,960 --> 02:57:43,994
meaningful community

5144
02:57:43,994 --> 02:57:44,962
engagement. Engagement cannot

5145
02:57:44,962 --> 02:57:49,162
be ad hoc or occur only after

5146
02:57:49,533 --> 02:57:50,834
a problem arises. It should

5147
02:57:50,834 --> 02:57:51,535
mean consistent relationships,

5148
02:57:51,535 --> 02:57:52,169
meaningful opportunities for

5149
02:57:52,169 --> 02:57:54,569
residents to help inform

5150
02:57:55,339 --> 02:57:57,739
public safety priorities and

5151
02:57:58,442 --> 02:58:00,644
engagement of enforce prior to

5152
02:58:00,644 --> 02:58:03,440
engagement of any enforcement

5153
02:58:03,514 --> 02:58:04,649
situation. Trust is central in

5154
02:58:04,649 --> 02:58:05,383
that work. Residents should

5155
02:58:05,383 --> 02:58:07,451
feel that engagement with impd

5156
02:58:07,451 --> 02:58:08,252
is respectful, inconsistent

5157
02:58:08,252 --> 02:58:11,252
and that their concerns are

5158
02:58:11,455 --> 02:58:12,222
heard and taken seriously.

5159
02:58:12,222 --> 02:58:14,124
That work should also be

5160
02:58:14,124 --> 02:58:16,226
measured where engagement is

5161
02:58:16,226 --> 02:58:18,960
happening. Who is being

5162
02:58:18,960 --> 02:58:20,298
reached and whether residents

5163
02:58:20,298 --> 02:58:20,965
feel heard respected and

5164
02:58:20,965 --> 02:58:22,366
meaningfully engage public

5165
02:58:22,366 --> 02:58:24,366
safety requires

5166
02:58:26,171 --> 02:58:27,538
accountability. Transparency

5167
02:58:27,538 --> 02:58:28,173
and genuine partnership

5168
02:58:28,173 --> 02:58:30,173
between law enforcement,

5169
02:58:31,476 --> 02:58:32,177
government and community. The

5170
02:58:32,177 --> 02:58:32,844
strategic direction is there

5171
02:58:32,844 --> 02:58:33,877
now we just have to do the

5172
02:58:33,877 --> 02:58:36,877
action. Thank you. Thank you

5173
02:58:37,514 --> 02:58:41,114
for your comments. Are. Read a

5174
02:58:44,623 --> 02:58:47,623
few more names store council

5175
02:58:51,730 --> 02:58:52,364
chief. My name is Deirdre. It

5176
02:58:52,364 --> 02:58:54,799
and the oldest brother of

5177
02:58:54,799 --> 02:58:58,399
Dallas, j. This is my sister

5178
02:59:00,605 --> 02:59:01,306
Asia right here. I wrote a

5179
02:59:01,306 --> 02:59:04,306
statement was going for like

5180
02:59:06,378 --> 02:59:08,813
to that. Chief. I represent a

5181
02:59:08,813 --> 02:59:11,249
whole lot of people outside

5182
02:59:11,249 --> 02:59:12,500
and around the community who

5183
02:59:12,500 --> 02:59:14,619
are hurting and seek a level

5184
02:59:14,619 --> 02:59:16,688
of accountability that way.

5185
02:59:16,688 --> 02:59:18,688
Quite frankly, the

5186
02:59:19,190 --> 02:59:19,858
unprecedented and transcending

5187
02:59:19,858 --> 02:59:22,258
in making Indianapolis and

5188
02:59:26,398 --> 02:59:27,320
overall safest for us. All.

5189
02:59:27,320 --> 02:59:27,666
Respectfully, none of the

5190
02:59:27,666 --> 02:59:29,302
safety training that you

5191
02:59:29,302 --> 02:59:31,436
mention tonight to the

5192
02:59:31,436 --> 02:59:32,304
COUNCILMAN Was handled in the

5193
02:59:32,304 --> 02:59:32,904
situation with those. And

5194
02:59:32,904 --> 02:59:33,571
that's based off of the

5195
02:59:33,571 --> 02:59:35,971
limited footage that we've

5196
02:59:36,408 --> 02:59:37,750
been able to see. There wasn't

5197
02:59:37,750 --> 02:59:40,750
any level of the escalation

5198
02:59:40,780 --> 02:59:42,547
process with my brother. I

5199
02:59:42,547 --> 02:59:44,716
want to thank everyone that

5200
02:59:44,716 --> 02:59:45,817
came out The outpouring love

5201
02:59:45,817 --> 02:59:47,953
and support for our family

5202
02:59:47,953 --> 02:59:48,920
that we received in this

5203
02:59:48,920 --> 02:59:50,855
devastating time seeing so

5204
02:59:50,855 --> 02:59:51,489
many people come together to

5205
02:59:51,489 --> 02:59:52,191
stand with us and on our

5206
02:59:52,191 --> 02:59:55,791
Dallas means more than I can

5207
02:59:56,361 --> 02:59:57,950
put into words. Thank you guys

5208
02:59:57,950 --> 02:59:59,197
for sure in our family that we

5209
02:59:59,197 --> 03:00:01,634
that we're not standing alone.

5210
03:00:01,634 --> 03:00:05,234
Our family is grieving. But we

5211
03:00:06,906 --> 03:00:07,788
are continuing to seek truth.

5212
03:00:07,788 --> 03:00:08,206
Accountability like you

5213
03:00:08,206 --> 03:00:10,606
tonight, chief Dallas's Life

5214
03:00:14,946 --> 03:00:16,215
matter. Obviously please

5215
03:00:16,215 --> 03:00:19,215
continue to stand with this

5216
03:00:19,919 --> 03:00:20,620
peacefully and with purpose as

5217
03:00:20,620 --> 03:00:22,555
we make sure his name is not

5218
03:00:22,555 --> 03:00:23,589
forgotten. I appreciate the

5219
03:00:23,589 --> 03:00:26,225
COUNCILMAN Today who spoke to

5220
03:00:26,225 --> 03:00:27,627
the high emotions in the room,

5221
03:00:27,627 --> 03:00:28,728
your support and diligence in

5222
03:00:28,728 --> 03:00:31,128
holding our public officials

5223
03:00:35,701 --> 03:00:36,636
accountable is appreciated. I

5224
03:00:36,636 --> 03:00:39,636
have some some more thoughts.

5225
03:00:46,579 --> 03:00:47,246
I think that I think it's not

5226
03:00:47,246 --> 03:00:50,246
true. The Dallas checks out

5227
03:00:52,840 --> 03:00:55,840
any police officers. That is

5228
03:00:58,124 --> 03:01:00,524
the misinformation of impd

5229
03:01:00,693 --> 03:01:03,693
Thank Thank you. Thank you.

5230
03:01:08,367 --> 03:01:09,769
Thank you for your comments.

5231
03:01:09,769 --> 03:01:11,470
My name is Lindsay whole grave

5232
03:01:11,470 --> 03:01:13,500
and I'm with the people who

5233
03:01:13,500 --> 03:01:13,673
are here tonight to say how

5234
03:01:13,673 --> 03:01:15,740
now to giving killer cops.

5235
03:01:15,740 --> 03:01:17,474
400 million dollars. And the

5236
03:01:19,780 --> 03:01:21,315
last 10 years impd is budget

5237
03:01:21,315 --> 03:01:23,820
has nearly doubled from

5238
03:01:23,820 --> 03:01:25,482
227 million in 2017 alone. So

5239
03:01:26,485 --> 03:01:30,590
I have to ask as I am pt, sold

5240
03:01:30,590 --> 03:01:31,291
twice as much crimes that in

5241
03:01:31,291 --> 03:01:32,792
2017, actually the answer is

5242
03:01:32,792 --> 03:01:36,392
not because I did the research

5243
03:01:36,595 --> 03:01:37,864
myself. Let's look at impd

5244
03:01:37,864 --> 03:01:38,864
zone data and joins 2017. Impd

5245
03:01:38,864 --> 03:01:42,464
saw that. They said that they

5246
03:01:42,535 --> 03:01:43,235
saw only 33% of homicides, 15%

5247
03:01:43,235 --> 03:01:46,235
of robberies and 9% of crimes

5248
03:01:46,906 --> 03:01:47,641
like rape or sell in 2023. The

5249
03:01:47,641 --> 03:01:49,475
last year that they've

5250
03:01:49,475 --> 03:01:50,644
published these comparable

5251
03:01:50,644 --> 03:01:51,911
records, they saw 32% of

5252
03:01:51,911 --> 03:01:53,780
homicides and 14% of

5253
03:01:53,780 --> 03:01:55,581
robberies, both down one

5254
03:01:55,581 --> 03:01:57,981
percent and only 12% of

5255
03:01:58,651 --> 03:01:59,753
crimes. Just a 3% increase.

5256
03:01:59,753 --> 03:02:00,921
You're taking twice as much of

5257
03:02:00,921 --> 03:02:03,991
our money and instead of doing

5258
03:02:03,991 --> 03:02:05,893
anything to keep people safe

5259
03:02:05,893 --> 03:02:06,760
from I'm standing, it looks

5260
03:02:06,760 --> 03:02:07,594
like you're doing is using our

5261
03:02:07,594 --> 03:02:09,994
money to terrorize Black

5262
03:02:13,900 --> 03:02:14,768
Indianapolis. Is many people

5263
03:02:14,768 --> 03:02:16,360
here that stand with me and

5264
03:02:16,360 --> 03:02:17,871
I'm going to say the names

5265
03:02:17,871 --> 03:02:20,871
that impd has murdered from

5266
03:02:21,975 --> 03:02:24,244
2017. We have Aaron Bailey,

5267
03:02:24,244 --> 03:02:25,879
Daniel Cedars Dashawn Downing

5268
03:02:25,879 --> 03:02:27,381
owner nor thing Jays on read

5269
03:02:27,381 --> 03:02:29,490
McIlroy. Those action movie

5270
03:02:29,490 --> 03:02:32,490
and her unborn son, Marcus

5271
03:02:32,486 --> 03:02:33,387
Lewis, Jr on a lead afford

5272
03:02:33,387 --> 03:02:33,954
just Elan Gary Harrell,

5273
03:02:33,954 --> 03:02:35,954
Freddie Davis, Herman

5274
03:02:36,123 --> 03:02:37,958
Whitfield, 3 the 3rd Adam

5275
03:02:37,958 --> 03:02:39,760
sites. And now because of your

5276
03:02:39,760 --> 03:02:40,395
refusal to muzzle this

5277
03:02:40,395 --> 03:02:42,795
dangerous game, they have

5278
03:02:43,630 --> 03:02:46,630
murdered Alice jet. The blood

5279
03:02:47,334 --> 03:02:50,700
of all these victims are on

5280
03:02:50,700 --> 03:02:51,605
your hands. And if you vote to

5281
03:02:51,605 --> 03:02:54,500
give impd 400 million dollars,

5282
03:02:55,275 --> 03:02:56,643
it will not ever come from

5283
03:02:56,643 --> 03:02:59,643
your hands. That will forever

5284
03:02:59,680 --> 03:03:02,950
be blood on your hands. So

5285
03:03:02,950 --> 03:03:05,520
fire arrest and convict and

5286
03:03:05,520 --> 03:03:07,452
jail. Although line killer

5287
03:03:08,422 --> 03:03:09,560
cops, because that's our mind.

5288
03:03:09,560 --> 03:03:11,456
This council justice get

5289
03:03:15,429 --> 03:03:17,429
peaks.

5290
03:03:19,867 --> 03:03:22,704

about a 298 million dollar

5410
03:08:28,957 --> 03:08:32,557
budget. And we need to be

5411
03:08:32,627 --> 03:08:33,829
very, very frugal with that.

5412
03:08:33,829 --> 03:08:34,463
Manage our resources, our

5413
03:08:34,463 --> 03:08:36,863
stations, our tools, our

5414
03:08:37,499 --> 03:08:38,233
equipment, our apparatus. And

5415
03:08:38,233 --> 03:08:39,401
then lastly, but certainly not

5416
03:08:39,401 --> 03:08:42,671
least. We want to continue the

5417
03:08:42,671 --> 03:08:45,671
development of our people. The

5418
03:08:46,741 --> 03:08:48,443
next slide is our 4 service

5419
03:08:48,443 --> 03:08:49,611
bureaus. Everything in the

5420
03:08:49,611 --> 03:08:52,110
department comes up between

5421
03:08:52,280 --> 03:08:53,810
these areas of administration

5422
03:08:53,810 --> 03:08:53,782
community risk reduction,

5423
03:08:53,782 --> 03:08:56,182
logistics and our operations

5424
03:09:00,622 --> 03:09:02,924
bureau. I mentioned the 1276

5425
03:09:02,924 --> 03:09:05,324
firefighters. Remind you that

5426
03:09:05,961 --> 03:09:07,495
94% of Indianapolis

5427
03:09:07,495 --> 03:09:08,897
firefighters are on the street

5428
03:09:08,897 --> 03:09:10,799
running out of neighborhood

5429
03:09:10,799 --> 03:09:12,799
stations protecting this

5430
03:09:12,868 --> 03:09:14,337
public much to the chagrin of

5431
03:09:14,337 --> 03:09:17,337
the people sitting behind me,

5432
03:09:17,939 --> 03:09:18,907
I think and others. We have a

5433
03:09:18,907 --> 03:09:20,575
very slim and minutes straight

5434
03:09:20,575 --> 03:09:22,277
of staff. But as long as we're

5435
03:09:22,277 --> 03:09:22,912
here, those resources will be

5436
03:09:22,912 --> 03:09:25,615
on the street serving the

5437
03:09:25,615 --> 03:09:27,315
public in that capacity. They

5438
03:09:27,315 --> 03:09:30,315
have very important jobs. The

5439
03:09:30,919 --> 03:09:31,620
76 administrative staff, but

5440
03:09:31,620 --> 03:09:34,389
we will always concentrate on

5441
03:09:34,389 --> 03:09:36,250
our service delivery out

5442
03:09:36,250 --> 03:09:39,250
there. 65 recruits are part of

5443
03:09:39,261 --> 03:09:40,996
our ask in the 2020 7 budget

5444
03:09:40,996 --> 03:09:42,631
that we're presenting to you

5445
03:09:42,631 --> 03:09:44,700
tonight. We would hope if

5446
03:09:44,700 --> 03:09:47,100
approved these folks would

5447
03:09:47,570 --> 03:09:49,505
start in early JANUARY of 2027

5448
03:09:49,505 --> 03:09:53,109
and this is to keep up with

5449
03:09:53,109 --> 03:09:55,410
our anticipated attrition and

5450
03:09:55,410 --> 03:09:56,112
the department, you know, the

5451
03:09:56,112 --> 03:09:56,846
makeup of the department's, I

5452
03:09:56,846 --> 03:09:59,715
won't spend time going through

5453
03:09:59,715 --> 03:10:03,252
that again. The next slide is

5454
03:10:03,252 --> 03:10:05,154
just for information purposes.

5455
03:10:05,154 --> 03:10:07,523
Our average age of our fire

5456
03:10:07,523 --> 03:10:09,959
fighters. These are the sworn

5457
03:10:09,959 --> 03:10:10,893
members. 43 and a half years

5458
03:10:10,893 --> 03:10:13,893
of age and seniority at 15

5459
03:10:18,601 --> 03:10:19,602
years. Are hiring and

5460
03:10:19,602 --> 03:10:20,436
professional development. I'll

5461
03:10:20,436 --> 03:10:21,637
let you can read through the

5462
03:10:21,637 --> 03:10:22,305
hiring process is pretty

5463
03:10:22,305 --> 03:10:24,707
standard. We have a written

5464
03:10:24,707 --> 03:10:25,775
test in Aurora interview. We

5465
03:10:25,775 --> 03:10:28,744
have what's called the See

5466
03:10:28,744 --> 03:10:29,345
pad. The candidate physical

5467
03:10:29,345 --> 03:10:31,614
ability test. That's a

5468
03:10:31,614 --> 03:10:32,315
university universally used

5469
03:10:32,315 --> 03:10:35,184
testing the fire service much

5470
03:10:35,184 --> 03:10:37,186
like an ops. 2 course. The

5471
03:10:37,186 --> 03:10:39,488
candidates go through. It's a

5472
03:10:39,488 --> 03:10:40,189
timed event. It's pass fail.

5473
03:10:40,189 --> 03:10:40,856
You don't get more points for

5474
03:10:40,856 --> 03:10:43,256
going fast. It's 10 minutes

5475
03:10:43,526 --> 03:10:46,429
and 20 seconds. And if you

5476
03:10:46,429 --> 03:10:48,970
pass it, then you move on in

5477
03:10:48,970 --> 03:10:48,798
our process. We continue our

5478
03:10:48,798 --> 03:10:50,798
ongoing operational training.

5479
03:10:52,368 --> 03:10:53,703
Our firefighters have fire

5480
03:10:53,703 --> 03:10:56,172
fire service and ems training

5481
03:10:56,172 --> 03:10:57,106
that they have to complete

5482
03:10:57,106 --> 03:10:58,507
every year. I do always brag

5483
03:10:58,507 --> 03:11:00,907
about our career development

5484
03:11:02,945 --> 03:11:03,679
and college bridge. When

5485
03:11:03,679 --> 03:11:04,380
recruit is sitting and recruit

5486
03:11:04,380 --> 03:11:07,149
school. They can look at our

5487
03:11:07,149 --> 03:11:09,151
career development manual and

5488
03:11:09,151 --> 03:11:11,870
say I aspire to be a battalion

5489
03:11:11,870 --> 03:11:13,857
chief and they can look at

5490
03:11:13,857 --> 03:11:14,523
that book and know exactly

5491
03:11:14,523 --> 03:11:15,892
what courses, how long

5492
03:11:15,892 --> 03:11:17,270
everything they need to do

5493
03:11:17,270 --> 03:11:19,395
that and we don't move the

5494
03:11:19,395 --> 03:11:21,798
finish line on. We help them

5495
03:11:21,798 --> 03:11:23,466
decide early on how to prepare

5496
03:11:23,466 --> 03:11:27,666
for what they want to do and

5497
03:11:28,700 --> 03:11:30,470
then college bridges program

5498
03:11:30,873 --> 03:11:31,575
when initiated encompasses

5499
03:11:31,575 --> 03:11:33,543
both brick and mortar and

5500
03:11:33,543 --> 03:11:34,845
online universities that we

5501
03:11:34,845 --> 03:11:35,412
partner with that. Look at the

5502
03:11:35,412 --> 03:11:37,812
training. I have the

5503
03:11:38,815 --> 03:11:39,883
firefighters go through. They

5504
03:11:39,883 --> 03:11:41,485
assign a credit value for

5505
03:11:41,485 --> 03:11:43,520
that. Right now it's trending

5506
03:11:43,520 --> 03:11:45,920
much rain, 30 to 40 credit

5507
03:11:45,989 --> 03:11:48,293
hours. And that's toward a

5508
03:11:48,293 --> 03:11:49,493
full degree at those

5509
03:11:49,493 --> 03:11:50,193
institutions. I think we have

5510
03:11:50,193 --> 03:11:52,593
12 or 13 that are partnering

5511
03:11:53,530 --> 03:11:54,231
with us now. And then we

5512
03:11:54,231 --> 03:11:56,900
always want to continue as in

5513
03:11:56,900 --> 03:11:57,601
our for success in Decatur,

5514
03:11:57,601 --> 03:11:59,601
the professional development

5515
03:12:01,238 --> 03:12:02,139
of our people. This next

5516
03:12:02,139 --> 03:12:05,442
slide. I'll just hit on the

5517
03:12:05,442 --> 03:12:08,378
box. The wellness first. I

5518
03:12:08,378 --> 03:12:09,913
attribute tribute this too.

5519
03:12:09,913 --> 03:12:10,681
When we talk about response

5520
03:12:10,681 --> 03:12:13,830
times. But I want to be very

5521
03:12:13,830 --> 03:12:13,884
clear on this response time

5522
03:12:13,884 --> 03:12:16,586
for us is not just getting to

5523
03:12:16,586 --> 03:12:20,186
the scene quickly. We want to

5524
03:12:20,557 --> 03:12:22,626
meet our Nfpa 17, 50 standard

5525
03:12:22,626 --> 03:12:24,261
of 4 minutes for the first

5526
03:12:24,261 --> 03:12:24,995
apparatus and 8 minutes for

5527
03:12:24,995 --> 03:12:27,464
full complement. But what that

5528
03:12:27,464 --> 03:12:31,640
means to me is a fully

5529
03:12:32,469 --> 03:12:33,737
trained, fully equipped.

5530
03:12:33,737 --> 03:12:36,137
Motivated the whole person.

5531
03:12:36,407 --> 03:12:37,140
And that's where we get the

5532
03:12:37,140 --> 03:12:37,842
mental physical, spiritual and

5533
03:12:37,842 --> 03:12:39,409
emotional well-being of that

5534
03:12:39,409 --> 03:12:40,611
individual. Because guess

5535
03:12:40,611 --> 03:12:42,346
what, that's the person is

5536
03:12:42,346 --> 03:12:46,316
going to do the best job when

5537
03:12:46,316 --> 03:12:47,217
they respond your home. Your

5538
03:12:47,217 --> 03:12:48,653
business are somebody you care

5539
03:12:48,653 --> 03:12:50,520
about. So we will always

5540
03:12:50,520 --> 03:12:52,920
concentrate on whole percent

5541
03:12:56,927 --> 03:12:58,296
to deliver those services.

5542
03:12:58,296 --> 03:13:00,696
Just a community engagement

5543
03:13:01,599 --> 03:13:02,633
will be hit briefly on our

5544
03:13:02,633 --> 03:13:03,701
targeted initiatives, our

5545
03:13:03,701 --> 03:13:04,369
partnerships and again, pre

5546
03:13:04,369 --> 03:13:06,769
packed protecting our most

5547
03:13:08,438 --> 03:13:10,575
back, vulnerable people. On

5548
03:13:10,575 --> 03:13:12,409
the next slide. I want to

5549
03:13:12,409 --> 03:13:15,120
always remind you of something

5550
03:13:15,120 --> 03:13:16,214
we're very proud of is our

5551
03:13:16,214 --> 03:13:18,214
international accreditation.

5552
03:13:18,683 --> 03:13:19,384
And so one rating that

5553
03:13:19,384 --> 03:13:22,384
positions our community in a

5554
03:13:22,487 --> 03:13:24,422
very elite status. There's

5555
03:13:24,422 --> 03:13:26,324
30,000 fire departments in the

5556
03:13:26,324 --> 03:13:28,993
United States as of 9, 1, of

5557
03:13:28,993 --> 03:13:30,962
this year, there's 334 that

5558
03:13:30,962 --> 03:13:31,696
are internationally

5559
03:13:31,696 --> 03:13:35,296
accredited. And if that was an

5560
03:13:35,933 --> 03:13:37,680
elite enough. Those who

5561
03:13:37,680 --> 03:13:38,836
continue on and challenge

5562
03:13:38,836 --> 03:13:41,605
themselves with the iso rating

5563
03:13:41,605 --> 03:13:42,674
us a rating from one to 10,

5564
03:13:42,674 --> 03:13:44,642
one being the best in 10.

5565
03:13:44,642 --> 03:13:48,842
Meaning you have a lot of work

5566
03:13:49,213 --> 03:13:51,349
to do. There's only 127 out of

5567
03:13:51,349 --> 03:13:52,151
30,000 that meet both those

5568
03:13:52,151 --> 03:13:52,850
standards and your

5569
03:13:52,850 --> 03:13:54,850
Indianapolis Fire Department

5570
03:13:56,988 --> 03:14:00,588
is one out in math. That's 0

5571
03:14:02,627 --> 03:14:03,828
point. O 4% or it means 99.9,

5572
03:14:03,828 --> 03:14:06,228
6% of our nation's fire

5573
03:14:07,131 --> 03:14:07,832
service does not and is not

5574
03:14:07,832 --> 03:14:09,100
protected by fire Department

5575
03:14:09,100 --> 03:14:12,100
of that quality. And we're

5576
03:14:14,839 --> 03:14:18,420
very proud of Move on and on

5577
03:14:18,420 --> 03:14:18,676
the next one is example. I

5578
03:14:18,676 --> 03:14:21,980
wanted to show you how we

5579
03:14:21,980 --> 03:14:23,681
gauge and monitor our progress

5580
03:14:23,681 --> 03:14:24,382
in reaching our goals. This is

5581
03:14:24,382 --> 03:14:26,218
just a snapshot of them. But

5582
03:14:26,218 --> 03:14:29,218
are planning division. Lets us

5583
03:14:30,222 --> 03:14:31,155
know how are trending if we're

5584
03:14:31,155 --> 03:14:33,157
headed. If we're on track or

5585
03:14:33,157 --> 03:14:35,961
we're behind what we need to

5586
03:14:35,961 --> 03:14:36,661
do to catch up. So we do this

5587
03:14:36,661 --> 03:14:39,661
measurement with each of our

5588
03:14:42,401 --> 03:14:43,735
sign goals and priorities.

5589
03:14:43,735 --> 03:14:45,370
Managing our dollars. I'll let

5590
03:14:45,370 --> 03:14:45,737
you read through that. But our

5591
03:14:45,737 --> 03:14:48,137
quartermaster service, I talk

5592
03:14:50,750 --> 03:14:51,209
about them a lot. It's one of

5593
03:14:51,209 --> 03:14:52,477
the pillars of our service

5594
03:14:52,477 --> 03:14:53,212
talk about it nationally and

5595
03:14:53,212 --> 03:14:55,581
other departments want to copy

5596
03:14:55,581 --> 03:14:57,750
what we do. We can't

5597
03:14:57,750 --> 03:14:58,751
firefighter whose had a fire

5598
03:14:58,751 --> 03:15:01,751
and needs their gear cleaned

5599
03:15:02,655 --> 03:15:04,155
are so Dar serviced in some

5600
03:15:04,155 --> 03:15:06,858
way can bring that gear in on

5601
03:15:06,858 --> 03:15:08,590
Monday. If they work, let the

5602
03:15:08,590 --> 03:15:10,459
quartermaster know that need

5603
03:15:11,620 --> 03:15:13,966
service. We will pick it up.

5604
03:15:13,966 --> 03:15:15,234
It will be have a hospital

5605
03:15:15,234 --> 03:15:15,934
grade ozone level cleaning any

5606
03:15:15,934 --> 03:15:18,871
repairs that need to be done

5607
03:15:18,871 --> 03:15:19,605
will be done. And when that

5608
03:15:19,605 --> 03:15:20,673
firefighter comes back to work

5609
03:15:20,673 --> 03:15:22,774
on Thursday, that gears at the

5610
03:15:22,774 --> 03:15:23,576
station waiting on that and

5611
03:15:23,576 --> 03:15:25,512
all they have to do is let us

5612
03:15:25,512 --> 03:15:27,646
know that needs to be Clint.

5613
03:15:27,646 --> 03:15:29,148
That's part of our cancer

5614
03:15:29,148 --> 03:15:29,848
prevention and making sure

5615
03:15:29,848 --> 03:15:32,848
we're doing everything we can

5616
03:15:34,787 --> 03:15:35,921
to keep our people safe. Some

5617
03:15:35,921 --> 03:15:36,655
of our priorities and goals.

5618
03:15:36,655 --> 03:15:40,590
I'll let you read through that

5619
03:15:40,590 --> 03:15:40,759
is always on. Readily

5620
03:15:40,759 --> 03:15:43,963
available to you. If you have

5621
03:15:43,963 --> 03:15:45,980
any questions about any of

5622
03:15:45,980 --> 03:15:47,534
these. But for time's sake,

5623
03:15:47,534 --> 03:15:49,668
you can bring them up when do

5624
03:15:49,668 --> 03:15:50,302
have questions. But we'll move

5625
03:15:50,302 --> 03:15:50,936
on through that. And you

5626
03:15:50,936 --> 03:15:53,336
certainly can redo those

5627
03:15:55,608 --> 03:15:56,276
priorities and goals. Some of

5628
03:15:56,276 --> 03:15:58,243
what the residents should

5629
03:15:58,243 --> 03:15:59,946
expect from us next year.

5630
03:15:59,946 --> 03:16:02,346
We've identified 270 what we

5631
03:16:03,480 --> 03:16:05,448
call high-risk structures. We

5632
03:16:05,884 --> 03:16:06,852
are going to get in those

5633
03:16:06,852 --> 03:16:08,852
buildings, inspect those

5634
03:16:09,755 --> 03:16:10,624
developed pre plans and make

5635
03:16:10,624 --> 03:16:11,324
them safe for our people to

5636
03:16:11,324 --> 03:16:13,560
whether they work there. They

5637
03:16:13,560 --> 03:16:14,794
visit there. They play there.

5638
03:16:14,794 --> 03:16:16,161
We've identified those

5639
03:16:16,161 --> 03:16:16,729
priorities and we're going to

5640
03:16:16,729 --> 03:16:19,129
make sure that those

5641
03:16:20,233 --> 03:16:21,401
structures are safe. We have a

5642
03:16:21,401 --> 03:16:23,801
very limited deputy fire

5643
03:16:24,236 --> 03:16:27,406
marshal staff and our fire and

5644
03:16:27,406 --> 03:16:28,800
life safety division. There's

5645
03:16:28,800 --> 03:16:30,800
over. 35,000 Inspector

5646
03:16:31,244 --> 03:16:32,112
Parcells in our community. We

5647
03:16:32,112 --> 03:16:32,779
did research a few years ago

5648
03:16:32,779 --> 03:16:35,382
that said a deputy fire

5649
03:16:35,382 --> 03:16:37,383
marshal can do about 600

5650
03:16:37,383 --> 03:16:39,383
inspections a year

5651
03:16:39,518 --> 03:16:41,518
individually. So 600 times 15

5652
03:16:41,654 --> 03:16:44,654
doesn't get you to 35,000. So

5653
03:16:45,324 --> 03:16:46,260
we've been creative. We do

5654
03:16:46,260 --> 03:16:48,426
some company inspections, but

5655
03:16:48,795 --> 03:16:50,795
we've entered into 2

5656
03:16:51,163 --> 03:16:52,798
agreements with contractor

5657
03:16:52,798 --> 03:16:53,899
contract inspectors to help us

5658
03:16:53,899 --> 03:16:56,969
kind of bridge that gap. And

5659
03:16:56,969 --> 03:16:58,400
we're projecting 21,000

5660
03:16:58,400 --> 03:16:59,774
additional inspections at that

5661
03:16:59,774 --> 03:17:01,874
group will will help us with a

5662
03:17:01,874 --> 03:17:03,576
good go past the Pulse point

5663
03:17:03,576 --> 03:17:04,276
activation. But I do want to

5664
03:17:04,276 --> 03:17:07,647
communicate to you. We have a

5665
03:17:07,647 --> 03:17:08,348
list of 30 comparable fire

5666
03:17:08,348 --> 03:17:10,748
departments across the nation

5667
03:17:12,353 --> 03:17:14,455
that we look at we speak to

5668
03:17:14,455 --> 03:17:15,488
them often. We don't have to

5669
03:17:15,488 --> 03:17:17,570
reinvent the wheel on

5670
03:17:17,570 --> 03:17:17,958
everything. So we looked at

5671
03:17:17,958 --> 03:17:19,726
Seattle and Kansas City who

5672
03:17:19,726 --> 03:17:20,894
have already implement Pulse

5673
03:17:20,894 --> 03:17:24,494
point and what it'll do. It's

5674
03:17:24,497 --> 03:17:28,970
it's app that people who are

5675
03:17:28,268 --> 03:17:29,436
certified in cpr already, we

5676
03:17:29,436 --> 03:17:30,170
can let them know that there's

5677
03:17:30,170 --> 03:17:33,600
an incident in a public space,

5678
03:17:33,600 --> 03:17:34,941
not in a private space going

5679
03:17:34,941 --> 03:17:35,643
on. We can alert them that

5680
03:17:35,643 --> 03:17:38,643
there's an emergency. We can

5681
03:17:39,450 --> 03:17:39,981
tell them where the close is.

5682
03:17:39,981 --> 03:17:41,981
Automatic electronic

5683
03:17:44,218 --> 03:17:46,286
defibrillator is and in this

5684
03:17:46,286 --> 03:17:48,455
example, we feel like close to

5685
03:17:48,455 --> 03:17:49,220
2000. We'll have 2000

5686
03:17:49,220 --> 03:17:49,756
opportunities make a

5687
03:17:49,756 --> 03:17:52,156
difference in Somebodys Day

5688
03:17:52,359 --> 03:17:53,127
with this program. So we're

5689
03:17:53,127 --> 03:17:55,527
excited about launching next

5690
03:18:01,435 --> 03:18:03,203
year. And before turn it over

5691
03:18:03,203 --> 03:18:03,770
to Don, I did want to bring

5692
03:18:03,770 --> 03:18:05,239
this light to light,

5693
03:18:05,239 --> 03:18:07,639
especially the middle box.

5694
03:18:08,775 --> 03:18:12,712
It's what we do. When we talk

5695
03:18:12,712 --> 03:18:14,414
about Ifd a good value. If you

5696
03:18:14,414 --> 03:18:15,281
take our proposed 2027 budget

5697
03:18:15,281 --> 03:18:18,190
and you divide it by what the

5698
03:18:18,190 --> 03:18:20,721
census as our population. And

5699
03:18:20,721 --> 03:18:21,656
then you divide that number by

5700
03:18:21,656 --> 03:18:24,656
365 days. You come up with

5701
03:18:25,826 --> 03:18:27,862
$0.83 Less than a bottle of

5702
03:18:27,862 --> 03:18:28,529
water, our bag of chips or cup

5703
03:18:28,529 --> 03:18:29,196
of coffee. You might have

5704
03:18:29,196 --> 03:18:32,196
gotten to get through this

5705
03:18:33,301 --> 03:18:35,169
meeting tonight. For $0.83 You

5706
03:18:35,169 --> 03:18:37,737
don't you don't get Urnas

5707
03:18:37,737 --> 03:18:38,839
Malone. You get every

5708
03:18:38,839 --> 03:18:40,740
Indianapolis firefighter, all

5709
03:18:40,740 --> 03:18:40,674
our tools, equipment,

5710
03:18:40,674 --> 03:18:43,740
knowledge in heart and

5711
03:18:43,410 --> 03:18:44,912
ability. And we're going to

5712
03:18:44,912 --> 03:18:47,948
calm and make it better for

5713
03:18:47,948 --> 03:18:49,817
you. The other thing I want

5714
03:18:49,817 --> 03:18:50,518
pass on before I pass it on

5715
03:18:50,518 --> 03:18:51,252
the dollar want you to think

5716
03:18:51,252 --> 03:18:53,889
about and I tell our people to

5717
03:18:53,889 --> 03:18:54,622
take great pride in that in

5718
03:18:54,622 --> 03:18:57,124
the United States Fire Service

5719
03:18:57,124 --> 03:18:57,858
when something happens, you

5720
03:18:57,858 --> 03:19:01,562
call us and we have to make it

5721
03:19:01,562 --> 03:19:02,964
better. There's nobody else to

5722
03:19:02,964 --> 03:19:03,597
call whether you're 100 feet

5723
03:19:03,597 --> 03:19:07,197
up in the air or 100 feet

5724
03:19:07,234 --> 03:19:09,804
below the water trapped in a

5725
03:19:09,804 --> 03:19:10,705
in a trench, confined space.

5726
03:19:10,705 --> 03:19:13,705
Our whatever emergency you MAY

5727
03:19:15,770 --> 03:19:16,978
have fire is just a portion of

5728
03:19:16,978 --> 03:19:18,790
what we do to call us the fire

5729
03:19:18,790 --> 03:19:20,479
department doesn't even come

5730
03:19:21,683 --> 03:19:22,184
close to our responsibilities.

5731
03:19:22,184 --> 03:19:22,850
And it is a great

5732
03:19:22,850 --> 03:19:25,250
responsibility. But one we

5733
03:19:26,153 --> 03:19:26,887
wear with pride because

5734
03:19:26,887 --> 03:19:29,230
America's fire service will be

5735
03:19:29,230 --> 03:19:29,991
there when you calls no matter

5736
03:19:29,991 --> 03:19:31,692
the emergency. And you get us

5737
03:19:31,692 --> 03:19:35,292
for $0.83 a day. So I think

5738
03:19:36,697 --> 03:19:38,433
we're of arc. The red boxes.

5739
03:19:38,433 --> 03:19:41,433
Just I always remind you,

5740
03:19:43,472 --> 03:19:44,706
folks being an iso. One rating

5741
03:19:44,706 --> 03:19:46,808
does not lower insurance

5742
03:19:46,808 --> 03:19:48,744
premiums, but it holds the

5743
03:19:48,744 --> 03:19:51,512
line on. If you look at our

5744
03:19:51,512 --> 03:19:52,780
surrounding any state that

5745
03:19:52,780 --> 03:19:54,315
touches Indiana, you'll see

5746
03:19:54,315 --> 03:19:56,180
those rates climbing at a

5747
03:19:56,180 --> 03:19:58,220
higher rate for residents to

5748
03:19:58,220 --> 03:20:01,123
hear. And that is due in large

5749
03:20:01,123 --> 03:20:02,424
part to the rating of your

5750
03:20:02,424 --> 03:20:04,460
fire department. So with that,

5751
03:20:04,460 --> 03:20:05,126
i want to pass it on to Donald

5752
03:20:05,126 --> 03:20:07,526
walking through our numbers

5753
03:20:13,635 --> 03:20:14,835
for 2020 cent. So good

5754
03:20:14,835 --> 03:20:16,471
afternoon community committee

5755
03:20:16,471 --> 03:20:17,406
members. Again, my name is Don

5756
03:20:17,406 --> 03:20:19,241
sites. Randall and I am the

5757
03:20:19,241 --> 03:20:20,241
cfo for the Indianapolis Fire

5758
03:20:20,241 --> 03:20:22,110
Department. And I'm going to

5759
03:20:22,110 --> 03:20:22,812
take just a few minutes to

5760
03:20:22,812 --> 03:20:25,812
review the budget portion of

5761
03:20:26,814 --> 03:20:28,814
our presentation. Our 2027

5762
03:20:30,520 --> 03:20:31,954
budget introduced budget is

5763
03:20:31,954 --> 03:20:34,354
298.9 million and of this

5764
03:20:35,222 --> 03:20:35,857
amount. 85% covers personnel

5765
03:20:35,857 --> 03:20:36,458
which includes salary and

5766
03:20:36,458 --> 03:20:38,858
benefits for our sworn

5767
03:20:39,795 --> 03:20:40,629
firefighters and civilians.

5768
03:20:40,629 --> 03:20:41,330
Retirement payouts, monthly

5769
03:20:41,330 --> 03:20:43,730
pension payments and funeral

5770
03:20:45,434 --> 03:20:46,134
benefits. Recognizing the

5771
03:20:46,134 --> 03:20:48,136
personnel is our largest part

5772
03:20:48,136 --> 03:20:50,720
of our budget. The remaining

5773
03:20:50,720 --> 03:20:50,772
15% covers are operational

5774
03:20:50,772 --> 03:20:51,473
costs, which I'll discuss in

5775
03:20:51,473 --> 03:20:54,473
more detail on the character

5776
03:20:56,780 --> 03:20:57,146
sites. So we talk about

5777
03:20:57,146 --> 03:20:58,246
budgets on one side of our

5778
03:20:58,246 --> 03:21:00,350
budget. We have the expense,

5779
03:21:00,350 --> 03:21:02,250
which is what we are paying

5780
03:21:02,250 --> 03:21:03,152
for. The other side of our

5781
03:21:03,152 --> 03:21:03,785
budget is the revenue, which

5782
03:21:03,785 --> 03:21:06,655
is the cash to cover what

5783
03:21:06,655 --> 03:21:08,690
we're paying for most of it.

5784
03:21:08,690 --> 03:21:09,725
These revenue or cash come

5785
03:21:09,725 --> 03:21:11,760
from property and income

5786
03:21:11,760 --> 03:21:12,394
taxes. So any fluctuations in

5787
03:21:12,394 --> 03:21:15,394
these taxes could have an

5788
03:21:15,431 --> 03:21:16,398
impact on our budget. Other

5789
03:21:16,398 --> 03:21:19,398
than taxes. It collects a

5790
03:21:19,701 --> 03:21:20,570
small amount of revenue for

5791
03:21:20,570 --> 03:21:22,537
building inspections and can

5792
03:21:22,537 --> 03:21:24,537
step construction. Plan

5793
03:21:26,175 --> 03:21:26,909
reviews and these inspections

5794
03:21:26,909 --> 03:21:27,542
and plan reviews are supported

5795
03:21:27,542 --> 03:21:29,245
by civilian our civilian

5796
03:21:29,245 --> 03:21:30,913
effort to ease as well as

5797
03:21:30,913 --> 03:21:31,580
outside contracts, which Chief

5798
03:21:31,580 --> 03:21:33,980
Malone mentioned earlier in

5799
03:21:38,655 --> 03:21:40,491
the presentation. Recognizing

5800
03:21:40,491 --> 03:21:41,791
the tax revenue limitations.

5801
03:21:41,791 --> 03:21:44,661
It does regularly apply for

5802
03:21:44,661 --> 03:21:45,461
grants to support personnel in

5803
03:21:45,461 --> 03:21:47,461
operational costs. Currently

5804
03:21:47,831 --> 03:21:49,165
we have pending applications

5805
03:21:49,165 --> 03:21:49,832
for safer, which is our

5806
03:21:49,832 --> 03:21:50,499
staffing grant and also the

5807
03:21:50,499 --> 03:21:52,302
assistance to firefighters

5808
03:21:52,302 --> 03:21:53,970
grant for equipment.

5809
03:21:53,970 --> 03:21:54,970
Additionally over the last few

5810
03:21:54,970 --> 03:21:57,370
years, we've been successful

5811
03:21:59,409 --> 03:22:00,143
with was a grant has helped us

5812
03:22:00,143 --> 03:22:02,450
fund equipment for our special

5813
03:22:02,450 --> 03:22:02,812
operations and ems program and

5814
03:22:02,812 --> 03:22:05,548
then off. And also, course,

5815
03:22:05,548 --> 03:22:06,449
we have the Indiana task Force

5816
03:22:06,449 --> 03:22:09,449
one, which is federally funded

5817
03:22:12,455 --> 03:22:13,220
by fema each year. When we

5818
03:22:13,220 --> 03:22:16,220
look at our budget by

5819
03:22:16,893 --> 03:22:17,694
character. Look at our budget,

5820
03:22:17,694 --> 03:22:19,595
but sorry, but we look at our

5821
03:22:19,595 --> 03:22:21,297
budgets by character. We know

5822
03:22:21,297 --> 03:22:22,310
the personnel is our largest

5823
03:22:22,310 --> 03:22:23,533
expense and it's mostly funded

5824
03:22:23,533 --> 03:22:26,502
by the fire General Fund in

5825
03:22:26,502 --> 03:22:28,571
2027. The fire general fun is

5826
03:22:28,571 --> 03:22:30,307
picking up 50 firefighters who

5827
03:22:30,307 --> 03:22:32,442
were previously covered by a

5828
03:22:32,442 --> 03:22:34,611
safer grant which expires

5829
03:22:34,611 --> 03:22:35,311
JANUARY of 2027. So this

5830
03:22:35,311 --> 03:22:36,145
contributes a good portion of

5831
03:22:36,145 --> 03:22:38,882
the increase that were seen in

5832
03:22:38,882 --> 03:22:39,582
2027 for fire. General.

5833
03:22:39,582 --> 03:22:41,719
Additionally, the increase is

5834
03:22:41,719 --> 03:22:44,200
a result of labor agreement.

5835
03:22:44,200 --> 03:22:45,154
Cola as well as the Indiana

5836
03:22:45,154 --> 03:22:47,154
public retirement contribution

5837
03:22:48,570 --> 03:22:48,726
requirements was. 23.3% is in

5838
03:22:48,726 --> 03:22:50,726
increase of twenty-six 0.3%

5839
03:22:51,861 --> 03:22:52,830
for 2027. So those are the

5840
03:22:52,830 --> 03:22:53,529
things that are contributing

5841
03:22:53,529 --> 03:22:56,529
to the fire general increase

5842
03:22:57,400 --> 03:22:59,400
in 2027. Alternatively,

5843
03:23:00,136 --> 03:23:01,505
though, the Federal Grant Fund

5844
03:23:01,505 --> 03:23:03,273
is decreasing 27 2027 as a

5845
03:23:03,273 --> 03:23:04,800
result of those 50

5846
03:23:04,800 --> 03:23:04,774
firefighters moving off of the

5847
03:23:04,774 --> 03:23:05,609
grant fund over to the fire

5848
03:23:05,609 --> 03:23:08,900
General Fund. And then

5849
03:23:09,413 --> 03:23:11,481
finally, the fire pension dot,

5850
03:23:11,481 --> 03:23:12,216
Fire pension fund is slightly

5851
03:23:12,216 --> 03:23:12,883
down as there are fewer

5852
03:23:12,883 --> 03:23:15,283
pension obligations that we

5853
03:23:19,456 --> 03:23:20,691
have to make next year. We

5854
03:23:20,691 --> 03:23:22,250
look at supplies. There is an

5855
03:23:22,250 --> 03:23:23,693
increase in fire general,

5856
03:23:23,693 --> 03:23:25,663
which is a result of contract

5857
03:23:25,663 --> 03:23:26,597
increases. And this is

5858
03:23:26,597 --> 03:23:27,298
primarily within our

5859
03:23:27,298 --> 03:23:28,798
Quartermaster Division, which

5860
03:23:28,798 --> 03:23:30,501
supports the purchase of fired

5861
03:23:30,501 --> 03:23:31,134
year personal protective

5862
03:23:31,134 --> 03:23:33,534
equipment, such as boots,

5863
03:23:33,804 --> 03:23:36,204
gloves, helmets, shields. And

5864
03:23:37,808 --> 03:23:38,474
station where? Everything else

5865
03:23:38,474 --> 03:23:40,874
flat. 2027 character to for

5866
03:23:43,580 --> 03:23:45,282
supplies. Then and character 3

5867
03:23:45,282 --> 03:23:45,983
for services. Only fire

5868
03:23:45,983 --> 03:23:46,684
general reflects an increase

5869
03:23:46,684 --> 03:23:49,684
which is driven by contracts

5870
03:23:50,154 --> 03:23:50,854
and monthly bills. Other than

5871
03:23:50,854 --> 03:23:51,455
that, there are no changes in

5872
03:23:51,455 --> 03:23:54,455
the other funds with in

5873
03:23:57,962 --> 03:23:58,963
character. 3. For character

5874
03:23:58,963 --> 03:24:01,650
for equipment, our capital.

5875
03:24:01,650 --> 03:24:02,599
There is an increase in the

5876
03:24:02,599 --> 03:24:03,567
Federal Grant Fund, which

5877
03:24:03,567 --> 03:24:04,134
includes our pending grant

5878
03:24:04,134 --> 03:24:05,202
applications for the

5879
03:24:05,202 --> 03:24:07,370
assistance to firefighters.

5880
03:24:07,370 --> 03:24:08,205
Grant program. We have

5881
03:24:08,205 --> 03:24:10,740
applications outstanding for

5882
03:24:10,740 --> 03:24:10,774
fire hose cardiac monitors and

5883
03:24:10,774 --> 03:24:13,477
a safety trailer which would

5884
03:24:13,477 --> 03:24:15,446
fall under this equipment.

5885
03:24:15,446 --> 03:24:17,514
Also the fire the fund has a

5886
03:24:17,514 --> 03:24:19,316
minimal increase which covers

5887
03:24:19,316 --> 03:24:21,453
rising costs for air

5888
03:24:21,453 --> 03:24:23,853
management program and that

5889
03:24:23,854 --> 03:24:24,388
they that division asking

5890
03:24:24,388 --> 03:24:25,230
regulators for are

5891
03:24:25,230 --> 03:24:27,230
self-contained breathing

5892
03:24:30,528 --> 03:24:32,928
apparatus, cbs. Finally, we

5893
03:24:32,997 --> 03:24:33,632
have character 5, our internal

5894
03:24:33,632 --> 03:24:35,899
charge backs, which also

5895
03:24:35,899 --> 03:24:36,434
reflects an increase for both

5896
03:24:36,434 --> 03:24:38,834
Fleet and Office of

5897
03:24:39,604 --> 03:24:42,400
Corporation Counsel. So we

5898
03:24:43,575 --> 03:24:44,275
talked about our budget on the

5899
03:24:44,275 --> 03:24:46,411
character level which breaks

5900
03:24:46,411 --> 03:24:47,145
things down by the category.

5901
03:24:47,145 --> 03:24:49,781
However, this next slide shows

5902
03:24:49,781 --> 03:24:50,949
us how our budget it added

5903
03:24:50,949 --> 03:24:51,983
allocated by program are

5904
03:24:51,983 --> 03:24:54,918
specific function and some of

5905
03:24:54,918 --> 03:24:55,820
these are self-explanatory. So

5906
03:24:55,820 --> 03:24:59,420
I'll just highlight a few of

5907
03:25:00,250 --> 03:25:02,250
these programs. Emergency

5908
03:25:02,600 --> 03:25:02,694
operations is by far our

5909
03:25:02,694 --> 03:25:03,228
largest program. And this

5910
03:25:03,228 --> 03:25:04,863
includes our swan,

5911
03:25:04,863 --> 03:25:07,263
firefighters, ems, and your

5912
03:25:07,499 --> 03:25:08,300
management expenses include

5913
03:25:08,300 --> 03:25:09,000
salaries and benefits for the

5914
03:25:09,000 --> 03:25:09,801
individuals who firefighters.

5915
03:25:09,801 --> 03:25:12,801
And that's working on the

5916
03:25:14,806 --> 03:25:15,541
street. The cardiac monitors

5917
03:25:15,541 --> 03:25:16,241
medical oversight and

5918
03:25:16,241 --> 03:25:16,908
supplies, equipment and

5919
03:25:16,908 --> 03:25:19,308

5920
03:25:20,812 --> 03:25:21,646
systems. Within our

5921
03:25:21,646 --> 03:25:23,381

03:25:27,218 --> 03:25:29,200
planning an hr combined. This

5925
03:25:29,200 --> 03:25:30,221
includes things such as travel

5926
03:25:30,221 --> 03:25:30,956
conference, registration,

5927
03:25:30,956 --> 03:25:31,556
utilities, wellness exams, and

5928
03:25:31,556 --> 03:25:33,956
medical services in our

5929
03:25:35,126 --> 03:25:36,940
charge. Next. Community risk

5930
03:25:36,940 --> 03:25:36,928

5931
03:25:36,928 --> 03:25:39,328
fire marshal public educator

5932
03:25:39,397 --> 03:25:42,997
in plan to ease other than

5933
03:25:43,201 --> 03:25:44,102
their salaries and benefits.

5934
03:25:44,102 --> 03:25:45,704
Expenses include smoke,

5935
03:25:45,704 --> 03:25:46,471

5936
03:25:46,471 --> 03:25:48,206
and cost to host or

5937
03:25:48,206 --> 03:25:49,507
participate in various public

5938
03:25:49,507 --> 03:25:50,843
safety events. Additionally,

5939
03:25:50,843 --> 03:25:51,509
the building inspection

5940
03:25:51,509 --> 03:25:54,509
contracts are folic in this

5941
03:25:55,513 --> 03:25:56,749
program. Our training academy

5942
03:25:56,749 --> 03:25:58,550
includes salaries and benefits

5943
03:25:58,550 --> 03:25:59,184
for our training staff as well

5944
03:25:59,184 --> 03:26:00,353
as training supplies and

5945
03:26:00,353 --> 03:26:00,987

5946
03:26:00,987 --> 03:26:02,987
lumber, drywall. Ladders,

5947
03:26:04,522 --> 03:26:05,557
hoses and sauce. Our

5948
03:26:05,557 --> 03:26:06,726
technology program cover

5949
03:26:06,726 --> 03:26:08,726
software for training

5950
03:26:08,928 --> 03:26:10,563
inventory and run management

5951
03:26:10,563 --> 03:26:11,230
licenses. Security monitoring

5952
03:26:11,230 --> 03:26:12,865
cellular Wi-Fi services and

5953
03:26:12,865 --> 03:26:14,834
computer supplies and

5954
03:26:14,834 --> 03:26:15,901
equipment. And finally, our

5955
03:26:15,901 --> 03:26:17,870
wellness program includes a

5956
03:26:17,870 --> 03:26:18,871
functional movement, return to

5957
03:26:18,871 --> 03:26:20,139

5959
03:26:20,840 --> 03:26:21,374
equipment that is used at our

5960
03:26:21,374 --> 03:26:23,374
health and wellness

5961
03:26:24,810 --> 03:26:25,911
facilities. So that shows you

5962
03:26:25,911 --> 03:26:26,812
less about the character and

5963
03:26:26,812 --> 03:26:28,848
more about the program or

5964
03:26:28,848 --> 03:26:29,548
function where our budget is

5965
03:26:29,548 --> 03:26:30,282
allocated as well as some of

5966
03:26:30,282 --> 03:26:31,217
the examples of the types of

5967
03:26:31,217 --> 03:26:34,530
expenses of which are using

5968
03:26:34,530 --> 03:26:36,922
our budget for to support

5969
03:26:36,922 --> 03:26:37,623
these programs. And with I'm

5970
03:26:37,623 --> 03:26:41,223
done with the budget pass of

5971
03:26:41,727 --> 03:26:43,620
the time that CHAIRMAN. Before

5972
03:26:43,620 --> 03:26:43,863
we get into the questions, if

5973
03:26:43,863 --> 03:26:46,532
if you would allow me, I just

5974
03:26:46,532 --> 03:26:47,366
want to tell you what we have

5975
03:26:47,366 --> 03:26:48,768
in the appendix for you and

5976
03:26:48,768 --> 03:26:49,368
then we can go right into the

5977
03:26:49,368 --> 03:26:51,768
questions. Where are we

5978
03:26:52,338 --> 03:26:55,338
prepared for you is a 2026

5979
03:26:56,409 --> 03:26:58,177
versus 2027 comparison by

5980
03:26:58,177 --> 03:27:00,577
character. Then we've provided

5981
03:27:02,810 --> 03:27:04,481
that same comparison. 26 and

5982
03:27:07,200 --> 03:27:09,200
2027 2026 2027 by fund.

5983
03:27:09,923 --> 03:27:10,723
Summarized the major budget

5984
03:27:10,723 --> 03:27:13,659
changes for you so you can go

5985
03:27:13,659 --> 03:27:14,660
to that one sheet and kind of

5986
03:27:14,660 --> 03:27:17,660
look at what's driving any

5987
03:27:18,532 --> 03:27:19,265
changes in the 2027 budget.

5988
03:27:19,265 --> 03:27:20,334
And then as usual, we provided

5989
03:27:20,334 --> 03:27:22,334
the most updated

5990
03:27:23,770 --> 03:27:26,600
organizational chart for you.

5991
03:27:26,600 --> 03:27:27,374
And then lastly, our staffing

5992
03:27:27,374 --> 03:27:30,374
analysis. And if you recall,

5993
03:27:30,944 --> 03:27:32,813
that's our 3 year projection

5994
03:27:32,813 --> 03:27:35,615
on our attrition rate. We tell

5995
03:27:35,615 --> 03:27:36,783
you, we need 65 recruits. And

5996
03:27:36,783 --> 03:27:39,183
2027, that's based on mask.

5997
03:27:39,453 --> 03:27:41,621
It's not just a guess. It's

5998
03:27:41,621 --> 03:27:43,323
what we our experience, our

5999
03:27:43,323 --> 03:27:44,240
the drop program that lets us

6000
03:27:44,240 --> 03:27:47,240
know what that attrition rate

6001
03:27:47,260 --> 03:27:48,363
is likely to be. So we can

6002
03:27:48,363 --> 03:27:49,563
staff accordingly so we can

6003
03:27:49,563 --> 03:27:53,163
make the best effort to try

6004
03:27:53,333 --> 03:27:55,733
control our overtime costs.

6005
03:27:56,336 --> 03:27:58,373
With that MISTER CHAIRMAN, if

6006
03:27:58,373 --> 03:28:00,374
you want to open up to

6007
03:28:00,374 --> 03:28:01,375
questions to your committee,

6008
03:28:01,375 --> 03:28:02,442
we're ready. Sure will. Thank

03:28:02,442 --> 03:28:03,877
you both for your

6010
03:28:03,877 --> 03:28:06,277
presentation. The question to

6011
03:28:08,382 --> 03:28:09,616
the committee. Got Maui. Thank

6012
03:28:09,616 --> 03:28:12,616

03:28:20,861 --> 03:28:21,562
brief here. Really appreciate

03:28:21,562 --> 03:28:25,162
any do for our community. And

6020
03:28:25,399 --> 03:28:27,467
I want let you know that your

6021
03:28:27,467 --> 03:28:28,603
organization of your

6022
03:28:28,603 --> 03:28:29,270
department is does not go

6023
03:28:29,270 --> 03:28:29,971
unnoticed. I mean, the one

6024
03:28:29,971 --> 03:28:30,604
thing we've talked with impd

6025
03:28:30,604 --> 03:28:32,730
about I know you probably

6026
03:28:32,730 --> 03:28:33,907
watch every meeting that we

6027
03:28:33,907 --> 03:28:34,609
have. So maybe you're going to

6028
03:28:34,609 --> 03:28:37,900
the restroom getting popcorn

6029
03:28:38,346 --> 03:28:40,380
we talk about this. But we

6030
03:28:40,380 --> 03:28:42,550
urged them to get in contact

6031
03:28:42,550 --> 03:28:45,453
with you to figure out a

6032
03:28:45,453 --> 03:28:46,353
facilities One thing just have

6033
03:28:46,353 --> 03:28:47,210
really enjoyed about I I think

6034
03:28:47,210 --> 03:28:48,423
speak for almost the whole

6035
03:28:48,423 --> 03:28:51,423
committee hears that we can

6036
03:28:52,360 --> 03:28:53,428
come to you and you know

6037
03:28:53,428 --> 03:28:54,162
exactly what dates that are,

6038
03:28:54,162 --> 03:28:56,864
what years things are going to

6039
03:28:56,864 --> 03:28:58,866
be revamped and redone. We've

6040
03:28:58,866 --> 03:28:59,567
we've worked with impd to get

6041
03:28:59,567 --> 03:29:00,234
there. I think they're trying

6042
03:29:00,234 --> 03:29:01,602
to get there. We just don't

6043
03:29:01,602 --> 03:29:03,671
really have a plan yet. I

6044
03:29:03,671 --> 03:29:04,372
don't kind of MISS That in the

6045
03:29:04,372 --> 03:29:05,740
presentation. I was home and

6046
03:29:05,740 --> 03:29:06,174
have a little more something

6047
03:29:06,174 --> 03:29:09,174
involved and just other than

6048
03:29:09,911 --> 03:29:10,578
just the North District. But

6049
03:29:10,578 --> 03:29:11,713
bravo for your work you've

6050
03:29:11,713 --> 03:29:13,414
been doing on that. You've

6051
03:29:13,414 --> 03:29:16,500
done heck of a job leading

6052
03:29:16,500 --> 03:29:16,751
this department and look for

6053
03:29:16,751 --> 03:29:20,951
is for budget as it comes is

6054
03:29:21,220 --> 03:29:21,756
budget season. Thank you, sir.

6055
03:29:21,756 --> 03:29:22,490
Thank you, counselor, this is

6056
03:29:22,490 --> 03:29:24,459
the folks behind me and others

6057
03:29:24,459 --> 03:29:26,962
that aren't here. And can't

6058
03:29:26,962 --> 03:29:28,930
say enough about the men and

6059
03:29:28,930 --> 03:29:29,897
women are responding to runs

6060
03:29:29,897 --> 03:29:32,660
while we're sitting here and

6061
03:29:32,660 --> 03:29:32,767
are just amazing civilian

6062
03:29:32,767 --> 03:29:35,167
staff. Thank you, Appreciate

6063
03:29:38,406 --> 03:29:41,406
it. Carrie, thank you, MR.

6064
03:29:41,509 --> 03:29:43,278
Chair. You know, I've been on

6065
03:29:43,278 --> 03:29:44,413
Think about that coming 15 16

6066
03:29:44,413 --> 03:29:47,182
years next year. You guys are

6067
03:29:47,182 --> 03:29:48,985
in a really well oiled machine

6068
03:29:48,985 --> 03:29:50,652
and he was at that 10 year

6069
03:29:50,652 --> 03:29:51,219
plan. I guess my question is

6070
03:29:51,219 --> 03:29:53,619
on recruits. How many

6071
03:29:53,655 --> 03:29:56,655
applicants to get year? We

6072
03:30:00,596 --> 03:30:02,596
range. We between 2,2500

6073
03:30:03,640 --> 03:30:05,640
applicants and that's

6074
03:30:08,270 --> 03:30:10,270
typically for 122, 140 jobs.

6075
03:30:11,273 --> 03:30:14,310
We will hire 2 classes from an

6076
03:30:14,310 --> 03:30:15,744
applicant list. So if we had

6077
03:30:15,744 --> 03:30:16,478
2000 applicants currently

6078
03:30:16,478 --> 03:30:19,478
we're gonna if approved. We're

6079
03:30:21,685 --> 03:30:22,318
gonna hire 65 in. And 2027.

6080
03:30:22,318 --> 03:30:25,318
And then likely the wage

6081
03:30:26,355 --> 03:30:28,157
trending another 50 to 60 in

6082
03:30:28,157 --> 03:30:30,259
2028 and will hire 2 classes

6083
03:30:30,259 --> 03:30:32,659
from that one application

6084
03:30:35,230 --> 03:30:35,898
process. And then by our mayor

6085
03:30:35,898 --> 03:30:38,200
it all we have to at the 18

6086
03:30:38,200 --> 03:30:41,103
month mark of that list, we

6087
03:30:41,103 --> 03:30:42,710
have to start a new process

6088
03:30:42,710 --> 03:30:42,738
because a-list expires at the

6089
03:30:42,738 --> 03:30:43,973
24 month Mark. So it's good

6090
03:30:43,973 --> 03:30:47,573
for 2 years and we get to

6091
03:30:49,945 --> 03:30:51,180
classes. On the average

6092
03:30:51,180 --> 03:30:52,348
recruit. What you you take him

6093
03:30:52,348 --> 03:30:54,483
on. What do they get paid

6094
03:30:54,483 --> 03:30:56,452
while they in training? I

6095
03:30:56,452 --> 03:30:59,452
guess. Is there a minimum

6096
03:31:00,230 --> 03:31:00,656
salary? They're making the

6097
03:31:00,656 --> 03:31:01,323
yes, its scale years fact

6098
03:31:01,323 --> 03:31:03,723
answer this without looking

6099
03:31:04,526 --> 03:31:07,396
over it off the first years,

6100
03:31:07,396 --> 03:31:09,396
approximately 55,000. Then at

6101
03:31:09,732 --> 03:31:12,732
the beginning of their second

6102
03:31:13,570 --> 03:31:15,104
year. 63 63 in have. And then

6103
03:31:15,104 --> 03:31:17,941
at the beginning of their 3rd

6104
03:31:17,941 --> 03:31:19,740
year after they've completed 2

6105
03:31:19,740 --> 03:31:20,276
years, there's a substantial

6106
03:31:20,276 --> 03:31:22,276
raise to approximately 90,000.

6107
03:31:28,117 --> 03:31:31,717
Ok, thank you. Thank you, MR.

6108
03:31:31,955 --> 03:31:32,589
CHAIRMAN, thank you. Chief.

6109
03:31:32,589 --> 03:31:33,289
Thank you, Don. I really

6110
03:31:33,289 --> 03:31:35,289
appreciate your presentation

6111
03:31:36,760 --> 03:31:37,460
every year getting and into

6112
03:31:37,460 --> 03:31:38,896
the nuts and bolts of it. And

6113
03:31:38,896 --> 03:31:40,630
I'm sorry that you didn't get

6114
03:31:40,630 --> 03:31:42,132
the time to celebrate some of

6115
03:31:42,132 --> 03:31:45,732
those things. And one of the

6116
03:31:45,969 --> 03:31:46,670
comments that you made about

6117
03:31:46,670 --> 03:31:49,105
putting the heart and some of

6118
03:31:49,105 --> 03:31:49,806
the things that you all do.

6119
03:31:49,806 --> 03:31:50,507
And in most of the things you

6120
03:31:50,507 --> 03:31:52,475
do definitely ring true. And

6121
03:31:52,475 --> 03:31:53,143
it was something that I think

6122
03:31:53,143 --> 03:31:56,143
was missing in the earlier

6123
03:31:56,279 --> 03:31:58,114
part of this evening. I

6124
03:31:58,114 --> 03:32:00,514
especially want to highlight

6125
03:32:01,151 --> 03:32:02,285
that Pulse point program that

6126
03:32:02,285 --> 03:32:04,421
sped through. I think that's

6127
03:32:04,421 --> 03:32:06,890
incredible. I think again,

6128
03:32:06,890 --> 03:32:07,324
that's not firefighting. But

6129
03:32:07,324 --> 03:32:08,258
that's life saving measures

6130
03:32:08,258 --> 03:32:09,292
that often times the people

6131
03:32:09,292 --> 03:32:10,600
behind you. That's what

6132
03:32:10,600 --> 03:32:12,462
they're doing when they come

6133
03:32:12,462 --> 03:32:13,530
out to these runs. And I am

6134
03:32:13,530 --> 03:32:14,397
not only cpr certified, but

6135
03:32:14,397 --> 03:32:16,166
I'm an instructor and I want

6136
03:32:16,166 --> 03:32:17,167
to help beat those Seattle

6137
03:32:17,167 --> 03:32:18,680
numbers. Anything I can do to

6138
03:32:18,680 --> 03:32:21,680
support you. Chief, let me

6139
03:32:23,730 --> 03:32:23,707
know. And I think there are no

6140
03:32:23,707 --> 03:32:24,442
complaints from me. Only

6141
03:32:24,442 --> 03:32:26,442
commenting complements include

6142
03:32:28,845 --> 03:32:30,247
owes I think our community is

6143
03:32:30,247 --> 03:32:32,820
saying, especially on the West

6144
03:32:32,820 --> 03:32:36,282
side not to stay away, but in

6145
03:32:36,887 --> 03:32:37,454
fact, township once to

6146
03:32:37,454 --> 03:32:39,560
consolidate the fire

6147
03:32:39,560 --> 03:32:40,891
department, can you update

6148
03:32:40,891 --> 03:32:41,625
this committee on what any

6149
03:32:41,625 --> 03:32:42,325
fire consolidation looks like

6150
03:32:42,325 --> 03:32:42,893
in and around the county and

6151
03:32:42,893 --> 03:32:44,893
particularly in Wayne

6152
03:32:47,798 --> 03:32:49,700
Township. Be happy to thank

6153
03:32:49,700 --> 03:32:50,668
you for your comments on Pulse

6154
03:32:50,668 --> 03:32:51,335
Point. We did kind of a breeze

6155
03:32:51,335 --> 03:32:52,360
through that. I hope you'll

6156
03:32:52,360 --> 03:32:52,703
take the time to look at your

6157
03:32:52,703 --> 03:32:55,103
packet. There's some other

6158
03:32:56,107 --> 03:32:57,975
initiatives in there community

6159
03:32:57,975 --> 03:33:00,978
connect and our plan to get to

6160
03:33:00,978 --> 03:33:02,780
all 72 of our neighborhoods to

6161
03:33:02,780 --> 03:33:04,649
identify their risk and help

6162
03:33:04,649 --> 03:33:05,317
them develop individualized

6163
03:33:05,317 --> 03:33:08,185
programs for that area for

6164
03:33:08,185 --> 03:33:08,886
those areas. So please take a

6165
03:33:08,886 --> 03:33:09,620
moment and read through that.

6166
03:33:09,620 --> 03:33:12,620
I think you'll be excited

6167
03:33:15,226 --> 03:33:17,395
about it like we are

6168
03:33:17,395 --> 03:33:18,329
currently. There are no

6169
03:33:18,329 --> 03:33:19,300
ongoing conversations, least

6170
03:33:19,300 --> 03:33:21,632
that I'm part of. And I think

6171
03:33:21,632 --> 03:33:26,404
I would be part of it as far

6172
03:33:26,404 --> 03:33:29,404
as any township are excluded

6173
03:33:30,740 --> 03:33:32,740
mergers or consolidations.

6174
03:33:32,760 --> 03:33:32,877
Certainly we're open to it.

6175
03:33:32,877 --> 03:33:33,811
But that starts at the

6176
03:33:33,811 --> 03:33:36,811
political level with the with

6177
03:33:37,148 --> 03:33:39,183
those folks if they say make

6178
03:33:39,183 --> 03:33:41,320
it happen. If these ready, we

6179
03:33:41,320 --> 03:33:43,522
have a plan called in the

6180
03:33:43,522 --> 03:33:45,589
works. We updated every 5

6181
03:33:45,589 --> 03:33:49,189
years. And the last update was

6182
03:33:51,930 --> 03:33:53,831
in 2023. So we know what fully

6183
03:33:53,831 --> 03:33:55,831
consolidated fire Department

6184
03:33:58,300 --> 03:33:59,971
looks like believe it was last

6185
03:33:59,971 --> 03:34:00,639
year. We a deep dive into all

6186
03:34:00,639 --> 03:34:03,390
of the stations, equipment

6187
03:34:04,376 --> 03:34:05,430
tools. You know, we're kind of

6188
03:34:05,430 --> 03:34:08,313
acts. Do they use what kind

6189
03:34:08,313 --> 03:34:10,315
cba do they wear? And we know

6190
03:34:10,315 --> 03:34:12,551
that information from all the

6191
03:34:12,551 --> 03:34:14,386
departments and then we shared

6192
03:34:14,386 --> 03:34:15,870
it with all the departments.

6193
03:34:15,870 --> 03:34:15,754
That's not something we want

6194
03:34:15,754 --> 03:34:18,256
to keep a secret. So we all

6195
03:34:18,256 --> 03:34:20,492
have a better handle on what

6196
03:34:20,492 --> 03:34:21,994
the entire Marion County

6197
03:34:21,994 --> 03:34:24,994
environment looks like. As far

6198
03:34:25,731 --> 03:34:27,566
as capability of each agency,

6199
03:34:27,566 --> 03:34:29,501
but we know what it looks

6200
03:34:29,501 --> 03:34:30,469
like. We're certainly ready to

6201
03:34:30,469 --> 03:34:33,469
exercise a merger if it's

6202
03:34:34,206 --> 03:34:36,241
brought to us, we're not

6203
03:34:36,241 --> 03:34:36,942
actively seeking them, but it

6204
03:34:36,942 --> 03:34:38,143
presented to us. We will. We

6205
03:34:38,143 --> 03:34:40,746
certainly know how to work it

6206
03:34:40,746 --> 03:34:42,681
through the plan get it done.

6207
03:34:42,681 --> 03:34:46,218
Thank you, chief and I I know

6208
03:34:46,218 --> 03:34:49,788
that. The work is not easy.

6209
03:34:49,788 --> 03:34:50,455
The equipment is heavy. And as

6210
03:34:50,455 --> 03:34:53,455
it turns out, MR. CHAIRMAN

6211
03:34:53,892 --> 03:34:54,593
fires hot so thank you for all

6212
03:34:54,593 --> 03:34:56,596
the things that you and your

6213
03:34:56,596 --> 03:34:57,329
men and women do each and

6214
03:34:57,329 --> 03:34:58,297
every for the strides that you

6215
03:34:58,297 --> 03:35:01,297
have been made under your

6216
03:35:02,167 --> 03:35:03,168
tenure. I adore you. I adore

6217
03:35:03,168 --> 03:35:03,870
your team and just really

6218
03:35:03,870 --> 03:35:05,380
appreciate serving alongside

6219
03:35:05,380 --> 03:35:07,206
all of you. Thank you. Thank

6220
03:35:07,206 --> 03:35:07,873
you, ma'am. We appreciate you.

6221
03:35:07,873 --> 03:35:10,176
Thank you. Council Council

6222
03:35:10,176 --> 03:35:12,450
heart. Thank you, MR.

6223
03:35:12,450 --> 03:35:15,450
CHAIRMAN, thank you. Chief. I

6224
03:35:16,581 --> 03:35:20,781
think his nation and so what I

6225
03:35:20,853 --> 03:35:21,554
want to point out is how

6226
03:35:21,554 --> 03:35:23,656
really what everybody saying,

6227
03:35:23,656 --> 03:35:26,656
how well done the presentation

6228
03:35:27,460 --> 03:35:28,127
isn't. Reminds me of what my

6229
03:35:28,127 --> 03:35:29,662
other my day job is not the

6230
03:35:29,662 --> 03:35:30,663
other examples given earlier

6231
03:35:30,663 --> 03:35:31,397
about hiring people. But, you

6232
03:35:31,397 --> 03:35:35,368
know, I do want to consult and

6233
03:35:35,368 --> 03:35:36,690
work around it. And I had a

6234
03:35:36,690 --> 03:35:36,803
customer approaching one time

6235
03:35:36,803 --> 03:35:37,503
about doing standard operating

6236
03:35:37,503 --> 03:35:39,720
procedures. And I said, what

6237
03:35:39,720 --> 03:35:40,390
are you doing? And I said,

6238
03:35:40,390 --> 03:35:41,341
well, we just asked all

6239
03:35:41,341 --> 03:35:42,800
directors to do the standard

6240
03:35:42,800 --> 03:35:43,843
operating procedures. And I

6241
03:35:43,843 --> 03:35:45,578
said we're going to come back

6242
03:35:45,578 --> 03:35:47,578
with 11, 12, 13 different.

6243
03:35:47,781 --> 03:35:48,881
Different operating

6244
03:35:48,881 --> 03:35:49,983
procedures. And that was what

6245
03:35:49,983 --> 03:35:50,717
was going through my mind when

6246
03:35:50,717 --> 03:35:53,920
I was looking at this. This is

6247
03:35:53,920 --> 03:35:55,540
the best one I've seen and I

6248
03:35:55,540 --> 03:35:57,557
have the fortunate ability to

6249
03:35:57,557 --> 03:35:58,458
sit on a lot of committees.

6250
03:35:58,458 --> 03:36:01,327
And this is the best

6251
03:36:01,327 --> 03:36:03,162
presentation I've seen. Really

6252
03:36:03,162 --> 03:36:06,990
and I'm in my 7th year on the

6253
03:36:06,990 --> 03:36:08,670
council. And so it got me

6254
03:36:08,670 --> 03:36:08,768
thinking you know, one of the

6255
03:36:08,768 --> 03:36:09,469
areas that I also the ability

6256
03:36:09,469 --> 03:36:10,337
to sit on, which is the audit

6257
03:36:10,337 --> 03:36:13,337
committee. And sure that with

6258
03:36:14,907 --> 03:36:15,842
her acting CHAIRMAN. It one of

6259
03:36:15,842 --> 03:36:16,443
the things that I will be

6260
03:36:16,443 --> 03:36:17,440
suggesting in that next

6261
03:36:17,440 --> 03:36:20,440
meeting is for them to

6262
03:36:22,383 --> 03:36:24,751
contemplate. Ap. That is doing

6263
03:36:24,751 --> 03:36:25,285
a standardized Templet earlies

6264
03:36:25,285 --> 03:36:26,200
researching what a

6265
03:36:26,200 --> 03:36:28,420
standardized temple looks like

6266
03:36:31,910 --> 03:36:32,192
for the budget season because

6267
03:36:32,192 --> 03:36:33,920
it's it's a Don't use the word

6268
03:36:33,920 --> 03:36:35,929
for us, but it doesn't seem

6269
03:36:35,929 --> 03:36:37,865
very prune a pragmatic that we

6270
03:36:37,865 --> 03:36:38,499
have all these agencies and we

6271
03:36:38,499 --> 03:36:39,133
don't have a standardized

6272
03:36:39,133 --> 03:36:42,133
templet of what the best

6273
03:36:42,303 --> 03:36:43,437
practice looks like. And I

6274
03:36:43,437 --> 03:36:44,638
call things and some of are

6275
03:36:44,638 --> 03:36:47,410
the conversations we talk Phs,

6276
03:36:47,410 --> 03:36:48,375
right? I'm saying, hey, I have

6277
03:36:48,375 --> 03:36:51,178
10 years of one way, but we've

6278
03:36:51,178 --> 03:36:53,147
been paying dpw contracts 100

6279
03:36:53,147 --> 03:36:53,847
plus years. Right? This is a

6280
03:36:53,847 --> 03:36:55,383
very similar thing like this

6281
03:36:55,383 --> 03:36:56,830
is good. This is the gold

6282
03:36:56,830 --> 03:36:59,253
standard. And this is what we

6283
03:36:59,253 --> 03:36:59,887
should expect every single

6284
03:36:59,887 --> 03:37:01,887
presentaran every single

6285
03:37:03,258 --> 03:37:03,924
committee that we have. So

6286
03:37:03,924 --> 03:37:04,558
that's putting more work in

6287
03:37:04,558 --> 03:37:07,558
your department. But I do

6288
03:37:07,562 --> 03:37:08,295
think that would be worthwhile

6289
03:37:08,295 --> 03:37:10,695
for our entire city

6290
03:37:13,802 --> 03:37:14,902
infrastructure to see. But

6291
03:37:14,902 --> 03:37:15,536
beyond that, sorry to cut the

6292
03:37:15,536 --> 03:37:17,104
cameras started. Get the

6293
03:37:17,104 --> 03:37:20,700
glory. But you guys are doing

6294
03:37:20,700 --> 03:37:21,408
phenomenal work into a lot of

6295
03:37:21,408 --> 03:37:22,109
good examples. But one thing

6296
03:37:22,109 --> 03:37:23,310
that is very important to me,

6297
03:37:23,310 --> 03:37:27,181
I want to bring up to the

6298
03:37:27,181 --> 03:37:28,282
committee. Actually had it, I

6299
03:37:28,282 --> 03:37:31,552
was fortunate to have the I b

6300
03:37:31,552 --> 03:37:34,552
j published this last Friday,

6301
03:37:35,189 --> 03:37:35,857
but I publish an article on

6302
03:37:35,857 --> 03:37:36,558
fire consolidation and the

6303
03:37:36,558 --> 03:37:38,892
title of it was we raised one

6304
03:37:38,892 --> 03:37:41,892
tax. Let's take an opportunity

6305
03:37:42,230 --> 03:37:44,766
to lower another and what that

6306
03:37:44,766 --> 03:37:46,300
means is in those townships on

6307
03:37:46,300 --> 03:37:48,803
the Westside Pike, Wayne and

6308
03:37:48,803 --> 03:37:50,700
Decatur, they're paying an

6309
03:37:50,700 --> 03:37:50,772
additional We can alleviate

6310
03:37:50,772 --> 03:37:52,406
that levy for those people in

6311
03:37:52,406 --> 03:37:53,740
the west side of town, it's

6312
03:37:53,740 --> 03:37:56,674
going to take action at the

6313
03:37:57,512 --> 03:37:58,913
state House. And I'm already

6314
03:37:58,913 --> 03:38:00,114
starting those conversations

6315
03:38:00,114 --> 03:38:00,849
with state representatives.

6316
03:38:00,849 --> 03:38:02,384
Now, what I think that takes

6317
03:38:02,384 --> 03:38:03,840
is essentially getting the the

6318
03:38:03,840 --> 03:38:05,484
trustees and the advisory

6319
03:38:05,954 --> 03:38:07,856
board members out of the way.

6320
03:38:07,856 --> 03:38:09,124
And I think that comes down to

6321
03:38:09,124 --> 03:38:09,791
the state making that law. And

6322
03:38:09,791 --> 03:38:11,693
that's what I'm going to be

6323
03:38:11,693 --> 03:38:12,827
chasing in the session. But I

6324
03:38:12,827 --> 03:38:14,295
want everybody to be aware

6325
03:38:14,295 --> 03:38:16,264
that I would love to see a

6326
03:38:16,264 --> 03:38:18,400
copy of in the works because I

6327
03:38:18,400 --> 03:38:18,933
will be out waving, met thing

6328
03:38:18,933 --> 03:38:21,333
around put in every

6329
03:38:22,103 --> 03:38:22,737
legislators face a confined

6330
03:38:22,737 --> 03:38:23,405
because we've got to find

6331
03:38:23,405 --> 03:38:25,106
savings. We've got to find

6332
03:38:25,106 --> 03:38:27,106
efficiencies. More

6333
03:38:31,112 --> 03:38:31,713
importantly, you know, I've

6334
03:38:31,713 --> 03:38:32,547
proposals for new fire

6335
03:38:32,547 --> 03:38:33,782
stations. And the last thing I

6336
03:38:33,782 --> 03:38:34,449
want to see is a fire station,

6337
03:38:34,449 --> 03:38:36,318
one mile away from another

6338
03:38:36,318 --> 03:38:38,718
fires to station from

6339
03:38:39,321 --> 03:38:41,220
different fire townships that

6340
03:38:41,220 --> 03:38:41,723
speaking of speedway and I

6341
03:38:41,723 --> 03:38:44,590
have to right or maybe it was

6342
03:38:44,590 --> 03:38:45,930
pike and But either way, there

6343
03:38:45,930 --> 03:38:45,760
was 2 very close. That to me

6344
03:38:45,760 --> 03:38:47,195
would have been a waste of

6345
03:38:47,195 --> 03:38:50,332
money and a waste of effective

6346
03:38:50,332 --> 03:38:53,932
measures. And so that's on my

6347
03:38:54,169 --> 03:38:54,836
list going into really now in

6348
03:38:54,836 --> 03:38:56,720
2 of his Asian Day, all the

6349
03:38:56,720 --> 03:38:58,374
way through session next year.

6350
03:38:58,374 --> 03:38:59,750
So happy to take any

6351
03:38:59,750 --> 03:38:59,708
supporters with me that want

6352
03:38:59,708 --> 03:39:02,812
to join in that effort. I

6353
03:39:02,812 --> 03:39:03,479
think that is one way that we

6354
03:39:03,479 --> 03:39:04,180
can move Indianapolis for,

6355
03:39:04,180 --> 03:39:06,580
especially an opportunity now

6356
03:39:06,881 --> 03:39:08,784
to talk about property taxes

6357
03:39:08,784 --> 03:39:11,520
so much in this state. And I

6358
03:39:11,520 --> 03:39:11,921
think we can drive some of

6359
03:39:11,921 --> 03:39:13,622
that change and find some

6360
03:39:13,622 --> 03:39:14,289
savings for people but give a

6361
03:39:14,289 --> 03:39:14,924
better result of the of the

6362
03:39:14,924 --> 03:39:15,658
day. And that's something

6363
03:39:15,658 --> 03:39:19,950
that's really hard to asked to

6364
03:39:19,950 --> 03:39:19,695
do. And I think we can do with

6365
03:39:19,695 --> 03:39:21,430
Thank you. Council are

6366
03:39:21,430 --> 03:39:22,131
appreciative comments are

6367
03:39:22,131 --> 03:39:24,531
thank you. Counselor Council

6368
03:39:26,569 --> 03:39:28,337
Perkins. Thank you, MR. Chair,

6369
03:39:28,337 --> 03:39:29,905
let me just follow my my

6370
03:39:29,905 --> 03:39:31,440
colleague's comment so that

6371
03:39:31,440 --> 03:39:33,609
we're clear Pike has 0

6372
03:39:33,609 --> 03:39:34,744
interest in consolidated in a

6373
03:39:34,744 --> 03:39:37,414
fire department. So that just

6374
03:39:37,414 --> 03:39:38,882
be clear with that. We very

6375
03:39:38,882 --> 03:39:40,249
proud of the work that our

6376
03:39:40,249 --> 03:39:42,649
Pike Township Fire Department

6377
03:39:44,787 --> 03:39:45,454
is still in. That does not

6378
03:39:45,454 --> 03:39:47,390
negate the work that you're

6379
03:39:47,390 --> 03:39:48,290
doing. Chief and so I want to

6380
03:39:48,290 --> 03:39:51,890
say that to my colleague to

6381
03:39:53,996 --> 03:39:57,596
the chief thank you for always

6382
03:39:58,000 --> 03:39:58,701
center in new leadership. And

6383
03:39:58,701 --> 03:40:00,736
your workers that work

6384
03:40:00,736 --> 03:40:01,871
alongside you to make this

6385
03:40:01,871 --> 03:40:05,471
happen. You're one of the only

6386
03:40:05,675 --> 03:40:07,777
does that come here and every

6387
03:40:07,777 --> 03:40:08,477
chance you get you deflect

6388
03:40:08,477 --> 03:40:09,211
from self and you sent to the

6389
03:40:09,211 --> 03:40:12,811
folks that are doing the work.

6390
03:40:13,215 --> 03:40:14,184
So thank you. I will also you

6391
03:40:14,184 --> 03:40:14,850
can do a tremendous job in

6392
03:40:14,850 --> 03:40:16,218
teaching a master class of

6393
03:40:16,218 --> 03:40:18,155
some of the executives and

6394
03:40:18,155 --> 03:40:20,155
directors across the

6395
03:40:21,580 --> 03:40:23,126
enterprise. What it means to

6396
03:40:23,126 --> 03:40:23,727
represent your department.

6397
03:40:23,727 --> 03:40:24,427
Well, by presented the

6398
03:40:24,427 --> 03:40:25,940
necessary information that we

6399
03:40:25,940 --> 03:40:27,164
need to understand the work

6400
03:40:27,164 --> 03:40:29,132
that you're doing, but also

6401
03:40:29,132 --> 03:40:31,330
the way they interact with

6402
03:40:31,330 --> 03:40:33,370
this council making sure that

6403
03:40:33,370 --> 03:40:34,503
the needs of your department

6404
03:40:34,503 --> 03:40:35,472
is reflected to us. And so

6405
03:40:35,472 --> 03:40:36,206
thank you. And I hope the

6406
03:40:36,206 --> 03:40:38,241
administration is watching all

6407
03:40:38,241 --> 03:40:39,276
the cameras are not on. Well,

6408
03:40:39,276 --> 03:40:40,911
at least the regular cameras

6409
03:40:40,911 --> 03:40:43,213
on. And we have one reporter

6410
03:40:43,213 --> 03:40:44,815
here, but hopefully the

6411
03:40:44,815 --> 03:40:46,490
administration is is is

6412
03:40:46,490 --> 03:40:48,118
watching that I think that the

6413
03:40:48,118 --> 03:40:50,120
department, the enterprise can

6414
03:40:50,120 --> 03:40:52,356
learn from for your expertise

6415
03:40:52,356 --> 03:40:53,230
in the way that you you can

6416
03:40:53,230 --> 03:40:56,260
present the of the men and

6417
03:40:56,260 --> 03:40:57,527
women that work with you. My

6418
03:40:57,527 --> 03:41:00,664
only question I have is around

6419
03:41:00,664 --> 03:41:02,299
fleet management or roughly

6420
03:41:02,299 --> 03:41:04,699
about 70 million dollars set

6421
03:41:04,835 --> 03:41:06,570
aside for fleet management in

6422
03:41:06,570 --> 03:41:07,270
2027 budget. Talk to us a

6423
03:41:07,270 --> 03:41:10,270
little bit about the current

6424
03:41:12,900 --> 03:41:12,943
state of the fleet. Is

6425
03:41:12,943 --> 03:41:15,943
adequate enough to meant make

6426
03:41:18,181 --> 03:41:19,416
sure that you are maintain in

6427
03:41:19,416 --> 03:41:20,150
good equipment, makes to quit

6428
03:41:20,150 --> 03:41:23,750
meant as you're doing the work

6429
03:41:24,855 --> 03:41:26,890
across the city. Thank you.

6430
03:41:26,890 --> 03:41:28,125
Yes, sir, again thank you for

6431
03:41:28,125 --> 03:41:28,859
your comments. But as you

6432
03:41:28,859 --> 03:41:30,930
said, I'll defer to the people

6433
03:41:30,930 --> 03:41:31,995
I get to work with every day.

6434
03:41:31,995 --> 03:41:33,630
You know, we can. We can talk

6435
03:41:33,630 --> 03:41:33,765
about programs and initiatives

6436
03:41:33,765 --> 03:41:36,433
that they're the folks truly

6437
03:41:36,433 --> 03:41:40,330
make it happen. I think the

6438
03:41:41,905 --> 03:41:43,308
state of our is strong. This

6439
03:41:43,308 --> 03:41:45,900
council and administration

6440
03:41:45,900 --> 03:41:47,409
supported a ten-year apparatus

6441
03:41:48,279 --> 03:41:50,280
replacement plan. We completed

6442
03:41:50,280 --> 03:41:51,490
an 8 and a half where we

6443
03:41:51,490 --> 03:41:54,180
replace all of our frontline

6444
03:41:54,180 --> 03:41:56,418
engines. Ladders. Rescue squad

6445
03:41:56,754 --> 03:41:57,388
battalion bogeys, all of our

6446
03:41:57,388 --> 03:41:59,388
response vehicles. We've

6447
03:42:00,291 --> 03:42:00,958
initiated a second ten-year

6448
03:42:00,958 --> 03:42:03,358
apparatus plan, which we're

6449
03:42:03,661 --> 03:42:06,464
working through now, we don't

6450
03:42:06,464 --> 03:42:08,660
have to buy their quantity

6451
03:42:08,660 --> 03:42:08,766
that we needed to in the First

6452
03:42:08,766 --> 03:42:11,766
10 year plan because we were

6453
03:42:11,869 --> 03:42:13,805
so far behind now. Now we're

6454
03:42:13,805 --> 03:42:16,709
buying a few pieces of the

6455
03:42:16,709 --> 03:42:18,810
year. So we are able if we

6456
03:42:18,810 --> 03:42:21,279
stay on that trajectory, we

6457
03:42:21,279 --> 03:42:23,281
can stay on track and never

6458
03:42:23,281 --> 03:42:25,416
find ourselves in the hole

6459
03:42:25,416 --> 03:42:26,500
with the need to replace

6460
03:42:26,500 --> 03:42:28,500
apparatus as many

6461
03:42:28,886 --> 03:42:30,880
municipalities across the

6462
03:42:30,880 --> 03:42:32,900
country are. We're I think

6463
03:42:32,900 --> 03:42:32,890
we're in in very good shape

6464
03:42:32,890 --> 03:42:33,524
with the plan that we're

6465
03:42:33,524 --> 03:42:35,924
following and the support

6466
03:42:37,428 --> 03:42:39,428
we're receiving. Council

6467
03:42:43,670 --> 03:42:44,535
Delaney. Thank you, MR. Chair.

6468
03:42:44,535 --> 03:42:45,370
You know, it's been a long

6469
03:42:45,370 --> 03:42:47,338
night and just wanted to take

6470
03:42:47,338 --> 03:42:48,506
this time to thank you. And

6471
03:42:48,506 --> 03:42:49,307
your command staff are coming

6472
03:42:49,307 --> 03:42:50,900
out tonight and sitting

6473
03:42:50,900 --> 03:42:52,477
through the long meeting to

6474
03:42:52,477 --> 03:42:54,613
wait for your turn. Really

6475
03:42:54,613 --> 03:42:56,582
appreciate that. And also just

6476
03:42:56,582 --> 03:42:57,382
wanted to commend you for

6477
03:42:57,382 --> 03:42:58,820
doing a good job and getting

6478
03:42:58,820 --> 03:42:58,684
out there in the community. I

6479
03:42:58,684 --> 03:42:59,752
feel like I've had the

6480
03:42:59,752 --> 03:43:00,451
opportunity to speak with you

6481
03:43:00,451 --> 03:43:03,451
throughout the year. So it's

6482
03:43:04,690 --> 03:43:06,190
not just someone time exchange

6483
03:43:06,190 --> 03:43:06,824
here. Most recently at opening

6484
03:43:06,824 --> 03:43:09,824
of the new station, 32 on

6485
03:43:10,829 --> 03:43:12,264
College Avenue. It's it's a

6486
03:43:12,264 --> 03:43:14,664
beautiful building was really

6487
03:43:16,268 --> 03:43:17,135
great to get to see how your

6488
03:43:17,135 --> 03:43:18,504
firefighters live and work

6489
03:43:18,504 --> 03:43:19,104
together and that station and

6490
03:43:19,104 --> 03:43:19,805
how you're planning on

6491
03:43:19,805 --> 03:43:21,674
building the new ones. And so

6492
03:43:21,674 --> 03:43:22,374
I just wanted to highlight

6493
03:43:22,374 --> 03:43:25,974
that. Thank you for the work

6494
03:43:26,945 --> 03:43:28,113
you Thank you, ma'am. We

6495
03:43:28,113 --> 03:43:28,814
appreciate you being there.

6496
03:43:28,814 --> 03:43:32,284
That was a that was long day.

6497
03:43:32,284 --> 03:43:35,200
Long time coming. We just put

6498
03:43:35,200 --> 03:43:35,721
a new 3,000 gallon tanker in

6499
03:43:35,721 --> 03:43:37,389
that station to help protect

6500
03:43:37,389 --> 03:43:40,389
the northeast side. For those

6501
03:43:41,930 --> 03:43:41,827
what we call properly hydrated

6502
03:43:41,827 --> 03:43:44,196
areas, just meaning they don't

6503
03:43:44,196 --> 03:43:46,965
have a hybrid on every 500

6504
03:43:46,965 --> 03:43:48,500
feet on the property line. So

6505
03:43:48,500 --> 03:43:49,301
that new vehicle is in service

6506
03:43:49,301 --> 03:43:52,301
at that station and serving

6507
03:43:54,306 --> 03:43:57,306
your community up there. Now.

6508
03:43:58,177 --> 03:43:58,877
Kathleen Grace, thank you,

6509
03:43:58,877 --> 03:44:00,412
chief, thank you so much for

6510
03:44:00,412 --> 03:44:01,447
to work. I'm not going to

6511
03:44:01,447 --> 03:44:02,181
belabor the point of my

6512
03:44:02,181 --> 03:44:02,881
colleagues that you guys are

6513
03:44:02,881 --> 03:44:07,810
doing a great job and you do

6514
03:44:07,586 --> 03:44:09,589
that great job every year. My

6515
03:44:09,589 --> 03:44:10,789
question is what can I take

6516
03:44:10,789 --> 03:44:12,125
back to the wonderful,

6517
03:44:12,125 --> 03:44:13,260
wonderful people on the east

6518
03:44:13,260 --> 03:44:15,762
side down East 38th Street

6519
03:44:15,762 --> 03:44:17,564
where we've seen tremendous

6520
03:44:17,564 --> 03:44:19,564
amount of growth

6521
03:44:21,000 --> 03:44:23,360
revitalization. We've got now

6522
03:44:23,360 --> 03:44:24,637
whole hospital which provides

6523
03:44:24,637 --> 03:44:25,372
so much in our community.

6524
03:44:25,372 --> 03:44:26,873
We've got grocers. We've got a

6525
03:44:26,873 --> 03:44:28,107
major employer would cook

6526
03:44:28,107 --> 03:44:28,742
medical. We've got a new bank

6527
03:44:28,742 --> 03:44:31,742
that's opening on on next

6528
03:44:32,112 --> 03:44:34,213
week. But we still have a

6529
03:44:34,213 --> 03:44:35,682
small, small building, a

6530
03:44:35,682 --> 03:44:38,820
station. 24, which can't fit

6531
03:44:40,120 --> 03:44:41,421
those larger apparatus I've

6532
03:44:41,421 --> 03:44:42,922
got meetings with Audubon

6533
03:44:42,922 --> 03:44:43,556
Guard zakai meetings with

6534
03:44:43,556 --> 03:44:44,258
Shane, shared and Heights

6535
03:44:44,258 --> 03:44:45,291
neighborhood Association next

6536
03:44:45,291 --> 03:44:47,527
month over the next few weeks.

6537
03:44:47,527 --> 03:44:49,763
What can I tell them about

6538
03:44:49,763 --> 03:44:54,200
U.S. Being on the list to get

6539
03:44:54,200 --> 03:44:54,769
a new, a facility. That's a

6540
03:44:54,769 --> 03:44:56,603
fair question. And I

6541
03:44:56,603 --> 03:44:57,170
appreciate the question. You

6542
03:44:57,170 --> 03:44:57,871
and I have had other

6543
03:44:57,871 --> 03:45:00,271
conversations about it. We've

6544
03:45:00,440 --> 03:45:02,108
talked about the 10 year

6545
03:45:02,108 --> 03:45:02,809
apparatus plan. We have a 20

6546
03:45:02,809 --> 03:45:05,209
year station replacement plan

6547
03:45:07,314 --> 03:45:08,140
where we identify the 10

6548
03:45:08,140 --> 03:45:11,140
stations most in need. That's

6549
03:45:11,184 --> 03:45:11,885
not determined by who the fire

6550
03:45:11,885 --> 03:45:14,885
chief likes or doesn't like.

6551
03:45:14,888 --> 03:45:16,956
We have an exhaustive

6552
03:45:16,956 --> 03:45:19,426
evaluation tool that we use to

6553
03:45:19,426 --> 03:45:21,394
rank those. I'll tell you

6554
03:45:21,394 --> 03:45:22,729
station 24 is right at the top

6555
03:45:22,729 --> 03:45:23,363
of the list. I actually

6556
03:45:23,363 --> 03:45:25,231
brought the plan with me

6557
03:45:25,231 --> 03:45:26,299
tonight and you'll see it's

6558
03:45:26,299 --> 03:45:29,302
right at the top. But what we

6559
03:45:29,302 --> 03:45:32,405
have to do is we look at those

6560
03:45:32,405 --> 03:45:34,800
10 stations that are on the

6561
03:45:34,800 --> 03:45:35,776
list and when we get the

6562
03:45:35,776 --> 03:45:38,179
funding to build a new

6563
03:45:38,179 --> 03:45:41,150
station, then the decision is

6564
03:45:41,150 --> 03:45:42,349
made which one of the 10 are

6565
03:45:42,349 --> 03:45:45,949
most in need because it's not

6566
03:45:46,200 --> 03:45:46,921
a static thing. Sometimes

6567
03:45:46,921 --> 03:45:48,456
something develops. Mold are

6568
03:45:48,456 --> 03:45:50,558
the foundation is crumbling.

6569
03:45:50,558 --> 03:45:53,461
Are its where one MAY have

6570
03:45:53,461 --> 03:45:55,290
been ahead of it a year and a

6571
03:45:55,290 --> 03:45:56,630
half ago. Some things happened

6572
03:45:56,630 --> 03:45:59,734
that now this other station is

6573
03:45:59,734 --> 03:46:00,434
more in need, but it's always

6574
03:46:00,434 --> 03:46:02,169
that group of the I guess we

6575
03:46:02,169 --> 03:46:04,739
could say the top 10 or the

6576
03:46:04,739 --> 03:46:07,139
bottom 10, most in need.

6577
03:46:07,708 --> 03:46:10,450
Firefighters see the list. You

6578
03:46:10,450 --> 03:46:10,979
MAY think you should be number

6579
03:46:10,979 --> 03:46:12,147
one. But if you're number 7,

6580
03:46:12,147 --> 03:46:13,948
at least you know where you

6581
03:46:13,948 --> 03:46:15,950
are. So I think you you would

6582
03:46:15,950 --> 03:46:18,350
tell them they're definitely

6583
03:46:20,121 --> 03:46:20,988
part of the conversation any

6584
03:46:20,988 --> 03:46:23,240
help you could give us in

6585
03:46:23,240 --> 03:46:25,240
identifying additional funding

6586
03:46:26,994 --> 03:46:28,429
to build the station. It will

6587
03:46:28,429 --> 03:46:29,363
certainly help bring to a

6588
03:46:29,363 --> 03:46:32,233
reality sooner. Thank you. I

6589
03:46:32,233 --> 03:46:33,534
know it's not about what would

6590
03:46:33,534 --> 03:46:35,336
you prefer because that's your

6591
03:46:35,336 --> 03:46:35,970
old neighborhood. You grew up

6592
03:46:35,970 --> 03:46:37,405
as a kid. So I think that

6593
03:46:37,405 --> 03:46:39,540
would be at the top of the

6594
03:46:39,540 --> 03:46:41,742
list. My only complaint chief,

6595
03:46:41,742 --> 03:46:42,576
I think in my budget time

6596
03:46:42,576 --> 03:46:43,244
budget season phone call and I

6597
03:46:43,244 --> 03:46:46,244
usually look forward to us

6598
03:46:46,614 --> 03:46:49,483
having a chat. So I look

6599
03:46:49,483 --> 03:46:50,185
forward to us getting

6600
03:46:50,185 --> 03:46:50,886
opportunity to talk a little

6601
03:46:50,886 --> 03:46:51,553
bit of on a personal level as

6602
03:46:51,553 --> 03:46:55,153
we move later in the year.

6603
03:46:57,292 --> 03:46:57,925
Thank you. We'll tell I MISS

6604
03:46:57,925 --> 03:46:59,227
That with budget and 9.11

6605
03:46:59,227 --> 03:47:00,995
happening this week. We just

6606
03:47:00,995 --> 03:47:01,663
cut kind of swap, but I

6607
03:47:01,663 --> 03:47:03,964
usually try to give all you

6608
03:47:03,964 --> 03:47:04,666
folks to call it. We'll get

6609
03:47:04,666 --> 03:47:07,201
back on track next year with

6610
03:47:07,201 --> 03:47:10,801
it for Okay. Thank you guys.

6611
03:47:12,107 --> 03:47:15,107
Council Brown. Thank you, MR.

6612
03:47:15,277 --> 03:47:15,944
Chair get well-deserved. All

6613
03:47:15,944 --> 03:47:17,379
the kudos that you've heard

6614
03:47:17,379 --> 03:47:19,348
from all my fears of a side

6615
03:47:19,348 --> 03:47:21,116
aisle. I would echo all of I

6616
03:47:21,116 --> 03:47:21,783
would agree with counselor

6617
03:47:21,783 --> 03:47:22,417
heart that this was I think

6618
03:47:22,417 --> 03:47:24,860
the best presentation of

6619
03:47:24,860 --> 03:47:24,753
seeing for a budget. And I

6620
03:47:24,753 --> 03:47:27,753
think one thing that really

6621
03:47:28,992 --> 03:47:30,920
sets it apart is the way it's

6622
03:47:30,920 --> 03:47:31,159
oriented towards the

6623
03:47:31,159 --> 03:47:32,194
constituents of taxpayers.

6624
03:47:32,194 --> 03:47:33,295
Right? So how much are they

6625
03:47:33,295 --> 03:47:34,697
spending? What do they get for

6626
03:47:34,697 --> 03:47:36,732
that money? What can they

6627
03:47:36,732 --> 03:47:38,900
expect from you this year and

6628
03:47:38,900 --> 03:47:39,634
always and that's not just the

6629
03:47:39,634 --> 03:47:40,769
budget presentation that comes

6630
03:47:40,769 --> 03:47:41,803
through all the interactions

6631
03:47:41,803 --> 03:47:42,437
with you and your command

6632
03:47:42,437 --> 03:47:45,240
staff. And of course, the

6633
03:47:45,240 --> 03:47:48,110
heroes local 4.16 And so want

6634
03:47:48,110 --> 03:47:49,344
to get out of the way for the

6635
03:47:49,344 --> 03:47:50,245
exit. Kudos. The only 2

6636
03:47:50,245 --> 03:47:50,979
concerns I had and it's been a

6637
03:47:50,979 --> 03:47:54,249
long as I could just be. I was

6638
03:47:54,249 --> 03:47:56,652
mistreated the budget and I

6639
03:47:56,652 --> 03:47:57,387
read correctly that it

6640
03:47:57,387 --> 03:47:58,120
actually cost us a substantial

6641
03:47:58,120 --> 03:48:01,720
out of money to participate in

6642
03:48:04,259 --> 03:48:07,163
Task Force one. Sorry. So task

6643
03:48:07,163 --> 03:48:08,230
Force one is 100% funded by

6644
03:48:08,230 --> 03:48:10,166
fema. So it doesn't cost the

6645
03:48:10,166 --> 03:48:11,500
city any money. As far as the

6646
03:48:11,500 --> 03:48:13,336
revenues from property taxes

6647
03:48:13,336 --> 03:48:14,936
or income taxes. It does hit

6648
03:48:14,936 --> 03:48:16,539
our budget. However, it's

6649
03:48:16,539 --> 03:48:17,172
reimburse federally federal

6650
03:48:17,172 --> 03:48:19,572
federal cash dollars. So

6651
03:48:20,208 --> 03:48:21,811
there's no cost on us. If

6652
03:48:21,811 --> 03:48:22,544
makes sense, got it. I was

6653
03:48:22,544 --> 03:48:23,178
looking at 2 different sheets

6654
03:48:23,178 --> 03:48:25,748
fail to make that connect

6655
03:48:25,748 --> 03:48:26,482
thank you for I'm sorry. I'll

6656
03:48:26,482 --> 03:48:28,160
point out. So whenever we talk

6657
03:48:28,160 --> 03:48:30,987
to when we talk, when we look

6658
03:48:30,987 --> 03:48:33,156
at task Force one will it's

6659
03:48:33,156 --> 03:48:35,124
always associated with the

6660
03:48:35,124 --> 03:48:37,226
Federal Grant Fund, which is

6661
03:48:37,226 --> 03:48:38,194
2, 5, 5, 3, 9, our other

6662
03:48:38,194 --> 03:48:40,290
operating expenses, which are

6663
03:48:40,290 --> 03:48:40,730
day-to-day operations at

6664
03:48:40,730 --> 03:48:41,397
Safire General Fund. So it's

6665
03:48:41,397 --> 03:48:41,964
it's within it. But it's a

6666
03:48:41,964 --> 03:48:43,660
simple fund which is

6667
03:48:43,660 --> 03:48:43,733
reimbursed by fema. Perfect

6668
03:48:43,733 --> 03:48:46,202
had to be in state because

6669
03:48:46,202 --> 03:48:49,405
that would make any sense. The

6670
03:48:49,405 --> 03:48:49,973
only other concern I have is

6671
03:48:49,973 --> 03:48:50,707
really it was just or

6672
03:48:50,707 --> 03:48:53,707
department I wouldn't have any

6673
03:48:54,211 --> 03:48:56,479
concerns at all. But I think

6674
03:48:56,479 --> 03:48:57,146
in general, the enterprise is

6675
03:48:57,146 --> 03:48:58,881
very, very over reliant on

6676
03:48:58,881 --> 03:49:00,416
character, 3 contractors, et

6677
03:49:00,416 --> 03:49:03,252
cetera. And so, you know, I've

6678
03:49:03,252 --> 03:49:05,540
had really good time

6679
03:49:05,540 --> 03:49:07,540
conversations and interactions

6680
03:49:07,190 --> 03:49:09,292
with Chief beard and everybody

6681
03:49:09,292 --> 03:49:11,260
under him. And as a fire

6682
03:49:11,260 --> 03:49:12,161
marshal. And it does make me a

6683
03:49:12,161 --> 03:49:14,970
little bit concerned.

6684
03:49:14,970 --> 03:49:15,365
Obviously, we want more

6685
03:49:15,365 --> 03:49:16,432
buildings inspected, but I

6686
03:49:16,432 --> 03:49:18,501
would of course, love to have

6687
03:49:18,501 --> 03:49:19,836
those people now says about

6688
03:49:19,836 --> 03:49:22,272
contractors. And so as a

6689
03:49:22,272 --> 03:49:22,905
stopgap in order to make sure

6690
03:49:22,905 --> 03:49:25,305
we're make building safe,

6691
03:49:25,309 --> 03:49:26,609
fully support this. But to the

6692
03:49:26,609 --> 03:49:29,900
extent possible, would love.

6693
03:49:29,313 --> 03:49:31,247
You know, I would love to be

6694
03:49:31,247 --> 03:49:31,915
unionized. Public-sector

6695
03:49:31,915 --> 03:49:32,583
workers as opposed to just

6696
03:49:32,583 --> 03:49:34,983
contractors that have less

6697
03:49:35,653 --> 03:49:36,787
control over. So just note for

6698
03:49:36,787 --> 03:49:37,488
the future, not expecting a

6699
03:49:37,488 --> 03:49:38,188
separate things and fix that

6700
03:49:38,188 --> 03:49:39,423
because I'm sure it has to do

6701
03:49:39,423 --> 03:49:41,423
with staffing availability.

6702
03:49:41,492 --> 03:49:43,426
But that's just my preference.

6703
03:49:43,426 --> 03:49:44,270
Moving forward. Otherwise I

6704
03:49:44,270 --> 03:49:45,996
have like nothing I can

6705
03:49:45,996 --> 03:49:48,165
critique before. Thank you

6706
03:49:48,165 --> 03:49:49,333
again. Appreciate your

6707
03:49:49,333 --> 03:49:50,199
comments that that's just

6708
03:49:50,199 --> 03:49:53,170
finances. The cost of an fte

6709
03:49:53,170 --> 03:49:54,138
in salary and benefits. First

6710
03:49:54,138 --> 03:49:56,740
is what we can hire a

6711
03:49:56,740 --> 03:49:58,175
contracting firm to do too.

6712
03:49:58,175 --> 03:50:00,611
Try to get to that same

6713
03:50:00,611 --> 03:50:02,279
result. And that's more of

6714
03:50:02,279 --> 03:50:02,946
those 35,000 parcels actually

6715
03:50:02,946 --> 03:50:05,549
inspected. So it's safe for

6716
03:50:05,549 --> 03:50:06,250
our citizenry, but your point

6717
03:50:06,250 --> 03:50:08,650
well taken. Understood. Thank

6718
03:50:10,888 --> 03:50:11,555
you, sir. That's the wells.

6719
03:50:11,555 --> 03:50:14,555
Thank you, MR. CHAIRMAN for

6720
03:50:15,693 --> 03:50:17,861
second comment in question.

6721
03:50:17,861 --> 03:50:20,300
Chief and MISS Sikes Randall.

6722
03:50:20,300 --> 03:50:21,650
Were there any unfunded

6723
03:50:21,650 --> 03:50:21,965
request in the 2027 budget

6724
03:50:21,965 --> 03:50:24,501
from the Office of Finance and

6725
03:50:24,501 --> 03:50:27,501
Management? And if so, what

6726
03:50:29,406 --> 03:50:30,507
were those if you have them?

6727
03:50:30,507 --> 03:50:32,376
So there were a few requests

6728
03:50:32,376 --> 03:50:33,677
because we understand the tax

6729
03:50:33,677 --> 03:50:35,412
You know, we just didn't ask

6730
03:50:35,412 --> 03:50:36,715
for all of the things. But we

6731
03:50:36,715 --> 03:50:40,315
did have a few budget request

6732
03:50:42,653 --> 03:50:43,821
which included. Capital. So we

6733
03:50:43,821 --> 03:50:44,421
asked for money to

6734
03:50:44,421 --> 03:50:46,421
administration vehicle

6735
03:50:47,224 --> 03:50:47,925
replacement plan. I won't get

6736
03:50:47,925 --> 03:50:51,525
into the specifics of the age

6737
03:50:51,896 --> 03:50:53,164
of our vehicles. However, the

6738
03:50:53,164 --> 03:50:55,660
the request included

6739
03:50:55,660 --> 03:50:55,901
purchasing x amount of

6740
03:50:55,901 --> 03:50:57,100
vehicles annually so that we

6741
03:50:57,100 --> 03:50:59,104
can phase out the older

6742
03:50:59,104 --> 03:51:00,337
vehicles. So that was one

6743
03:51:00,337 --> 03:51:01,206
request for admin vehicle

6744
03:51:01,206 --> 03:51:02,240
replacement plan to release or

6745
03:51:02,240 --> 03:51:03,374
own those currently because

6746
03:51:03,374 --> 03:51:04,909
that was what I was thinking

6747
03:51:04,909 --> 03:51:05,843
when you went through the

6748
03:51:05,843 --> 03:51:07,979
vehicle and apparatus plan, I

6749
03:51:07,979 --> 03:51:08,713
noticed you didn't say admin

6750
03:51:08,713 --> 03:51:10,148
vehicles and some of those are

6751
03:51:10,148 --> 03:51:13,748
pretty old that I see going

6752
03:51:13,885 --> 03:51:15,820
around the city. Yet. 2

6753
03:51:15,820 --> 03:51:18,220
separate things are apparatus

6754
03:51:18,657 --> 03:51:19,924
replacement plan was was for

6755
03:51:19,924 --> 03:51:21,660
our heavy-duty. Respond to did

6756
03:51:21,660 --> 03:51:23,128
not include administrative

6757
03:51:23,128 --> 03:51:23,895
vehicles. I would love if you

6758
03:51:23,895 --> 03:51:27,495
had an average age, you can

6759
03:51:27,900 --> 03:51:28,601
send that on a separate

6760
03:51:28,601 --> 03:51:29,234
communication, education and

6761
03:51:29,234 --> 03:51:31,536
future budget review and

6762
03:51:31,536 --> 03:51:32,270
analysis. MADAM Cfo, and I'm

6763
03:51:32,270 --> 03:51:35,270
sorry to interrupt. You know

6764
03:51:37,750 --> 03:51:38,911
your your time hours. We also

6765
03:51:38,911 --> 03:51:41,911
asked for money to support

6766
03:51:42,547 --> 03:51:44,582
station repairs so annually we

6767
03:51:44,582 --> 03:51:46,582
received annually, receive

6768
03:51:46,618 --> 03:51:47,686
money take care of our fire

6769
03:51:47,686 --> 03:51:49,686
stations. There's 45 fire

6770
03:51:49,988 --> 03:51:50,722
stations. You know what cost

6771
03:51:50,722 --> 03:51:51,923
to take care of your house. So

6772
03:51:51,923 --> 03:51:53,591
we do have annual budget, too.

6773
03:51:53,591 --> 03:51:56,591
Take care of our fire

6774
03:51:57,620 --> 03:51:57,762
stations. However, roofs

6775
03:51:57,762 --> 03:51:58,396
approaches which the country

6776
03:51:58,396 --> 03:52:00,498
approaches with the fire

6777
03:52:00,498 --> 03:52:04,980
apparatus drive on. It's a lot

6778
03:52:05,710 --> 03:52:05,705
of wear and tear those

6779
03:52:05,705 --> 03:52:06,405
annually. Those can cost

6780
03:52:06,405 --> 03:52:08,805
upwards of a couple $100,000

6781
03:52:11,243 --> 03:52:11,877
to replace and so we want with

6782
03:52:11,877 --> 03:52:13,611
their requests, asked for

6783
03:52:13,611 --> 03:52:16,611
money to dedicate to certain.

6784
03:52:16,649 --> 03:52:17,717
So those types of repair so

6785
03:52:17,717 --> 03:52:19,417
that we can do certain amount

6786
03:52:19,417 --> 03:52:20,553
of approaches per year we can

6787
03:52:20,553 --> 03:52:22,355
to a certain amount of risk

6788
03:52:22,355 --> 03:52:24,489
per year because our annual

6789
03:52:24,489 --> 03:52:25,424
budget, it deals with the

6790
03:52:25,424 --> 03:52:26,580
day-to-day operations. Right.

6791
03:52:26,580 --> 03:52:29,580
And so sometimes we can't

6792
03:52:29,462 --> 03:52:31,464
swing a $300,000 repair for 4

6793
03:52:31,464 --> 03:52:32,298
approaches. So we asked for

6794
03:52:32,298 --> 03:52:33,199
dedicated station repair

6795
03:52:33,199 --> 03:52:34,660
funding to cover some of those

6796
03:52:34,660 --> 03:52:34,700
heavy duty expenses that we

6797
03:52:34,700 --> 03:52:37,700
know we need to maintain

6798
03:52:40,573 --> 03:52:41,607
annually. We also asked for

6799
03:52:41,607 --> 03:52:42,775
additional sets of fired year.

6800
03:52:42,775 --> 03:52:45,175
So our quartermaster budget

6801
03:52:46,646 --> 03:52:47,380
annually purchases 250 cents

6802
03:52:47,380 --> 03:52:48,314
of gear for our incumbents out

6803
03:52:48,314 --> 03:52:51,183
on the street as well as 2

6804
03:52:51,183 --> 03:52:53,190
sets a fire year for our

6805
03:52:53,190 --> 03:52:54,387
recruits. So about 390 total

6806
03:52:54,387 --> 03:52:57,230
sets of gear were purchasing

6807
03:52:57,230 --> 03:52:59,230
annually. We asked 4

6808
03:52:59,258 --> 03:52:59,859
additional sets a fire gear

6809
03:52:59,859 --> 03:53:03,459
fill the gap for a new

6810
03:53:04,960 --> 03:53:06,496
replacement. And then finally

6811
03:53:06,966 --> 03:53:08,634
ask for some character, one

6812
03:53:08,634 --> 03:53:11,340
items for 3 additional admin

6813
03:53:11,103 --> 03:53:12,138
personnel to support our

6814
03:53:12,138 --> 03:53:15,138
pension office to support our

6815
03:53:15,275 --> 03:53:16,800
training division. And also to

6816
03:53:16,800 --> 03:53:17,810
support our Special Operations

6817
03:53:17,810 --> 03:53:18,478
division for a drone operator.

6818
03:53:18,478 --> 03:53:21,715
That's a big thing. Now. It

6819
03:53:21,715 --> 03:53:23,683
was it was really used during

6820
03:53:23,683 --> 03:53:24,450
the floods. And we're finding

6821
03:53:24,450 --> 03:53:27,450
that across the public safety.

6822
03:53:28,255 --> 03:53:30,489
It's a standard that people

6823
03:53:30,489 --> 03:53:31,190
are moving toward. So we asked

6824
03:53:31,190 --> 03:53:31,892
for an empty for. They are so

6825
03:53:31,892 --> 03:53:34,561
3 admin positions we ask for.

6826
03:53:34,561 --> 03:53:38,161
And then finally we asked to

6827
03:53:38,398 --> 03:53:39,700
adjust our work factor. So I

6828
03:53:39,700 --> 03:53:40,801
do use is a work factor to

6829
03:53:40,801 --> 03:53:41,868
estimate how much over time

6830
03:53:41,868 --> 03:53:44,404
we're going to spend annually.

6831
03:53:44,404 --> 03:53:45,471
The work factor includes a

6832
03:53:45,471 --> 03:53:46,206
number of firefighters. We

6833
03:53:46,206 --> 03:53:46,873
have off daily percent because

6834
03:53:46,873 --> 03:53:48,410
that's how we predict when

6835
03:53:48,410 --> 03:53:51,110
we're going to have to call in

6836
03:53:51,110 --> 03:53:53,460
overtime. We're finding that

6837
03:53:53,460 --> 03:53:54,214
we're having more people offer

6838
03:53:54,214 --> 03:53:55,282
details and more for sick. So

6839
03:53:55,282 --> 03:53:56,249
we wanted just that work

6840
03:53:56,249 --> 03:53:56,984
factor to line up with

6841
03:53:56,984 --> 03:53:59,384
actually how many firefighters

6842
03:54:00,954 --> 03:54:03,156
are off today. So that was our

6843
03:54:03,156 --> 03:54:03,790
second admin to summarize.

6844
03:54:03,790 --> 03:54:04,591
There were 3 operational

6845
03:54:04,591 --> 03:54:07,961
requests and then to care to

6846
03:54:07,961 --> 03:54:09,796
one requests. My goodness.

6847
03:54:09,796 --> 03:54:11,565
Thank you for that. I

6848
03:54:11,565 --> 03:54:12,299
appreciate you coming

6849
03:54:12,299 --> 03:54:14,468
prepared. I'm really concerned

6850
03:54:14,468 --> 03:54:17,304
about not just the equipment

6851
03:54:17,304 --> 03:54:18,380
for personnel, but also those

6852
03:54:18,380 --> 03:54:20,400
approaches and those roofs and

6853
03:54:20,400 --> 03:54:21,241
that dedicated station repair

6854
03:54:21,241 --> 03:54:24,841
fund. I know it's tight right

6855
03:54:25,679 --> 03:54:26,747
now and know. Money

6856
03:54:26,747 --> 03:54:28,548
administrator cars MAY seem

6857
03:54:28,548 --> 03:54:29,750
like a drop in the bucket, but

6858
03:54:29,750 --> 03:54:32,686
if we can do it for impd, I

6859
03:54:32,686 --> 03:54:33,353
don't understand why we can't

6860
03:54:33,353 --> 03:54:35,757
for our fire department. I

6861
03:54:35,757 --> 03:54:36,590
think the drone comment and

6862
03:54:36,590 --> 03:54:37,624
even just the advent of

6863
03:54:37,624 --> 03:54:40,240
technology, MR. CHAIRMAN, my

6864
03:54:40,270 --> 03:54:40,694
final comment is truly commend

6865
03:54:40,694 --> 03:54:43,531
not just the chief but the

6866
03:54:43,531 --> 03:54:44,264
staff and specifically, you

6867
03:54:44,264 --> 03:54:47,264
know, redone. The comms team

6868
03:54:47,367 --> 03:54:49,470
really do give a true line of

6869
03:54:49,470 --> 03:54:50,138
sight and into what is

6870
03:54:50,138 --> 03:54:52,138
happening. The transparency

6871
03:54:52,473 --> 03:54:53,173
with it if is there because

6872
03:54:53,173 --> 03:54:53,808
you're constantly telling the

6873
03:54:53,808 --> 03:54:56,208
story. You're telling the

6874
03:54:56,678 --> 03:54:57,744
story with video photographs,

6875
03:54:57,744 --> 03:55:00,114
words and sometimes codes that

6876
03:55:00,114 --> 03:55:01,381
I don't even understand. But

6877
03:55:01,381 --> 03:55:02,684
the photos tell the story of

6878
03:55:02,684 --> 03:55:05,353
the heroes doing the work out

6879
03:55:05,353 --> 03:55:07,522
there each and every day. And

6880
03:55:07,522 --> 03:55:10,191
so thank you for allowing me

6881
03:55:10,191 --> 03:55:10,892
time to check in on some of

6882
03:55:10,892 --> 03:55:11,893
those unfunded requests. And

6883
03:55:11,893 --> 03:55:13,528
thank you for all that you do.

6884
03:55:13,528 --> 03:55:14,329
You have my time, MR.

6885
03:55:14,329 --> 03:55:17,329
CHAIRMAN, thank you. Just a

6886
03:55:20,368 --> 03:55:21,690
Maui. Thank you, MR. Chair.

6887
03:55:21,690 --> 03:55:21,769
I've said this to staff and I

6888
03:55:21,769 --> 03:55:22,503
just want to say to the

6889
03:55:22,503 --> 03:55:23,172
committee and I wish the chair

6890
03:55:23,172 --> 03:55:27,372
was so here to hear this as

6891
03:55:28,176 --> 03:55:29,644
well. I understand that you've

6892
03:55:29,644 --> 03:55:30,244
gone every year since I've

6893
03:55:30,244 --> 03:55:32,981
been on the council was

6894
03:55:32,981 --> 03:55:33,614
something coming 10 years now

6895
03:55:33,614 --> 03:55:37,214
with eye with impd. And I

6896
03:55:38,619 --> 03:55:39,287
think that's great however,

6897
03:55:39,287 --> 03:55:40,488
the e there's just so many

6898
03:55:40,488 --> 03:55:41,856
great things in this. But in

6899
03:55:41,856 --> 03:55:42,557
this budget presentation that

6900
03:55:42,557 --> 03:55:44,292
we had to just kind of gloss

6901
03:55:44,292 --> 03:55:47,292
over spare time because we

6902
03:55:47,795 --> 03:55:49,163
spent so much time p d. I

6903
03:55:49,163 --> 03:55:52,763
would love to see you guys.

6904
03:55:53,101 --> 03:55:53,902
Kind of you know, will get the

6905
03:55:53,902 --> 03:55:55,690
ice cream and the U.S. Had

6906
03:55:55,690 --> 03:55:55,770
about it for a little while.

6907
03:55:55,770 --> 03:55:56,471
But I would love to see you

6908
03:55:56,471 --> 03:56:00,710
guys have your own time here

6909
03:56:00,174 --> 03:56:01,750
in front of us because council

6910
03:56:01,750 --> 03:56:02,945
well questions about what was

6911
03:56:02,945 --> 03:56:04,980
not, you know, approved in

6912
03:56:04,980 --> 03:56:06,514
this budget. I'd love to get

6913
03:56:06,514 --> 03:56:07,215
that little bit more maybe

6914
03:56:07,215 --> 03:56:10,215
during analysis. We can't we

6915
03:56:10,619 --> 03:56:11,487
can't do that. But for the

6916
03:56:11,487 --> 03:56:12,155
sake of the other counselors

6917
03:56:12,155 --> 03:56:15,391
here, I won't ask any more

6918
03:56:15,391 --> 03:56:18,127
questions on that. But I would

6919
03:56:18,127 --> 03:56:18,794
love if we could get you guys

6920
03:56:18,794 --> 03:56:20,128
separated and have impd one

6921
03:56:20,128 --> 03:56:22,531
night. I have to be another

6922
03:56:22,531 --> 03:56:25,200
night that way. Both get your

6923
03:56:25,200 --> 03:56:25,934
time to shine. I know I've

6924
03:56:25,934 --> 03:56:26,668
known you long enough to know.

6925
03:56:26,668 --> 03:56:28,837
I think you prefer not to have

6926
03:56:28,837 --> 03:56:30,906
the cameras, but you deserve

6927
03:56:30,906 --> 03:56:33,942
them. And to us about the work

6928
03:56:33,942 --> 03:56:34,643
show. So I would love to have

6929
03:56:34,643 --> 03:56:37,413
this split. Think about that

6930
03:56:37,413 --> 03:56:39,813
next year. Thank you,

6931
03:56:40,582 --> 03:56:41,950
counselor. Couple No other

6932
03:56:41,950 --> 03:56:44,887
questions. I have a couple

6933
03:56:44,887 --> 03:56:47,887
final comments myself. What I

6934
03:56:48,957 --> 03:56:49,591
want to commend you again,

6935
03:56:49,591 --> 03:56:51,493
Chief lawn, accreditation

6936
03:56:51,493 --> 03:56:52,361
renewal. I do think that's a

6937
03:56:52,361 --> 03:56:54,361
spooktacular statistic. You

6938
03:56:54,397 --> 03:56:56,298
guys deserve to be very proud

6939
03:56:56,298 --> 03:56:58,534
of that. Along with the Pulse

6940
03:56:58,534 --> 03:56:59,168
point program. I think that's

6941
03:56:59,168 --> 03:57:02,168
a great initiative. And I

6942
03:57:02,705 --> 03:57:04,673
think that will be very a

6943
03:57:04,673 --> 03:57:06,842
great stride forward and true

6944
03:57:06,842 --> 03:57:07,976
public safety as well as the I

6945
03:57:07,976 --> 03:57:08,744
class one rating. I think

6946
03:57:08,744 --> 03:57:11,144
that's something else. Very

6947
03:57:12,281 --> 03:57:14,681
special I'm sure you

6948
03:57:15,951 --> 03:57:16,618
anticipated my annual question

6949
03:57:16,618 --> 03:57:17,319
Houser ladder truck to the

6950
03:57:17,319 --> 03:57:20,319
North side, which station is

6951
03:57:22,592 --> 03:57:23,325
then. Always put me on the

6952
03:57:23,325 --> 03:57:25,940
spot to make the other

6953
03:57:25,940 --> 03:57:28,940
councilors. Joe, as you are

6954
03:57:28,430 --> 03:57:30,830
your trending very well

6955
03:57:32,135 --> 03:57:34,135
station 9. They're on 6286

6956
03:57:35,939 --> 03:57:38,842
Street has a both a new engine

6957
03:57:38,842 --> 03:57:41,242
and ladder stations. 6 North

6958
03:57:42,645 --> 03:57:45,645
Central High School has and

6959
03:57:51,721 --> 03:57:53,423
ladder there what bad? 9 sixes

6960
03:57:53,423 --> 03:57:54,124
station for 80th in ditch has

6961
03:57:54,124 --> 03:57:57,627
a new ladder and a new engine

6962
03:57:57,627 --> 03:57:58,662
coming in DECEMBER. Well, not

6963
03:57:58,662 --> 03:58:00,865
directly in your area. We

6964
03:58:00,865 --> 03:58:01,599
talked about station 32 that

6965
03:58:01,599 --> 03:58:04,599
something really going on with

6966
03:58:04,734 --> 03:58:06,202
head that way, the station

6967
03:58:06,202 --> 03:58:07,370
that we do will staff with the

6968
03:58:07,370 --> 03:58:10,807
city of Lawrence. There are no

6969
03:58:10,807 --> 03:58:13,807
planned in station. 36 has a

6970
03:58:14,244 --> 03:58:17,244
brand new aerial You're doing

6971
03:58:17,947 --> 03:58:19,182
very, very well and your

6972
03:58:19,182 --> 03:58:20,417
really are letter protected

6973
03:58:20,417 --> 03:58:23,219
for sure. Not that I'm wishing

6974
03:58:23,219 --> 03:58:24,487
for a high rise fire, but now

6975
03:58:24,487 --> 03:58:28,870
in the unlikely I can rest

6976
03:58:28,258 --> 03:58:30,293
assured that you'll be there.

6977
03:58:30,293 --> 03:58:31,270
Final question. Got piggy

6978
03:58:31,270 --> 03:58:33,230
backing off well. I think what

6979
03:58:33,230 --> 03:58:36,230
Kessler Heart was was a

6980
03:58:38,169 --> 03:58:40,104
inferring and that is. We're

6981
03:58:40,104 --> 03:58:40,837
going to be seeing a pretty

6982
03:58:40,837 --> 03:58:41,604
tight budget the next couple

6983
03:58:41,604 --> 03:58:44,400
years, particularly with the

6984
03:58:44,275 --> 03:58:47,275
trend from the state house

6985
03:58:48,411 --> 03:58:49,480
squeezing property taxes and

6986
03:58:49,480 --> 03:58:52,480
their battle cry of possibly

6987
03:58:53,317 --> 03:58:54,317
being eliminating property

6988
03:58:54,317 --> 03:58:57,317
taxes. You guys making some

6989
03:58:57,955 --> 03:58:59,900
worst-case scenario planning?

6990
03:58:59,900 --> 03:59:00,558
Have been a couple years when

6991
03:59:00,558 --> 03:59:04,158
we have to revamp income tax

6992
03:59:04,628 --> 03:59:07,280
structure as well. Really.

6993
03:59:08,320 --> 03:59:08,733
Planning for possible

6994
03:59:08,733 --> 03:59:11,133
catastrophic scenarios in the

6995
03:59:12,203 --> 03:59:12,803
future financially speaking?

6996
03:59:12,803 --> 03:59:15,573
Well, you it's a great

6997
03:59:15,573 --> 03:59:16,207
question. We have tasked our

6998
03:59:16,207 --> 03:59:16,874
planning Division. Chief

6999
03:59:16,874 --> 03:59:18,877
Wilson is here. They do an

7000
03:59:18,877 --> 03:59:21,877
excellent job for us. The

7001
03:59:22,213 --> 03:59:23,814
Astros to forecast if if we

7002
03:59:23,814 --> 03:59:26,684
needed to make cuts, if we had

7003
03:59:26,684 --> 03:59:29,684
to tighten our bill. Where

7004
03:59:29,954 --> 03:59:31,188
would we do that? Why would we

7005
03:59:31,188 --> 03:59:34,188
pic that station or that

7006
03:59:35,826 --> 03:59:38,129
apparatus what cut could we

7007
03:59:38,129 --> 03:59:39,830
make without damaging our

7008
03:59:39,830 --> 03:59:42,230
service delivery are unduly

7009
03:59:42,733 --> 03:59:43,367
increasing response times. So.

7010
03:59:43,367 --> 03:59:46,367
We don't want to exercise

7011
03:59:47,380 --> 03:59:48,205
that. But to your question,

7012
03:59:48,205 --> 03:59:49,306
we're ready if if this happens

7013
03:59:49,306 --> 03:59:51,275
and we need to go to this

7014
03:59:51,275 --> 03:59:54,179
level, we know what we want to

7015
03:59:54,179 --> 03:59:56,213
do. If it's a deeper level, we

7016
03:59:56,213 --> 03:59:58,849
know what that next level of

7017
03:59:58,849 --> 04:00:00,986
action we need to take is we

7018
04:00:00,986 --> 04:00:02,787
we went through that exercise.

7019
04:00:02,787 --> 04:00:03,522
I believe last and we have a

7020
04:00:03,522 --> 04:00:05,756
plan that we we hope we don't

7021
04:00:05,756 --> 04:00:09,356
have to use, but we're ready

7022
04:00:11,163 --> 04:00:13,398
with To take on a on a scale.

7023
04:00:13,398 --> 04:00:14,799
Your level, what we would do

7024
04:00:14,799 --> 04:00:15,467
first, what we would do. In

7025
04:00:15,467 --> 04:00:19,670
case we we were faced with

7026
04:00:20,939 --> 04:00:21,673
that. Situation. Great. The

7027
04:00:21,673 --> 04:00:23,275
perfect answer I expected from

7028
04:00:23,275 --> 04:00:26,275
you. Chief, thank you much.

7029
04:00:26,678 --> 04:00:27,379
Any final comments. Hearing?

7030
04:00:27,379 --> 04:00:30,379
None. We are adjourned. Thank

7031
04:00:42,260 --> 04:00:44,000
you, ladies and gentlemen.
