          AND, UH, MY INTERACTIONS WITH, ESPECIALLY WITH THE STRATEGIC PLAN THAT WE'RE  OR THAT , UM, I THINK THAT, UH, WE HAD A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES TO NOT ONLY IMPROVE OPERATIONS, AND PLEASE, EXCUSE ME IF I'M NOT TALKING LOUD ENOUGH. 
          I WAS RECENTLY BACK IN ALABAMA AND I BROUGHT MY ALLERGIES TO BE SO, UH, FROM THE TENNESSEE VALLEY. 
          SO, SO I PRAY THAT YOU'LL EXCUSE ME ON THAT. 
          BUT, UH, SO THE OFFICERS ARE VERY ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT WHAT, BUT I HAVE SEEN, WATCHED, OBSERVED, ALSO HEARD FROM THE CITIZENS IS THERE'S A, THERE'S A, UM, A GENUINE DESIRE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE, THE, THE CITY OF BAYTOWN IS A SAFE PLACE FOR PEOPLE AND, AND RAISE FAMILIES. 
          AND THE OFFICERS ARE PROUD. 
          I THINK THAT, UM, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WILL IN THE FUTURE WILL BE VERY EXCITING. 
          UM, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE DISCUSSING ABOUT HEALTH INTERNALLY, UH, WITH THE OFFICERS AS WELL AS, UH, CONSUMERS, WE'VE GOT SOME IDEAS AND PLANS. 
          WE'VE ALREADY STARTED, UH, SPEAKING TO SOME OF THE OFFICERS IN THE DEPARTMENT, SOME WORKING GROUPS TOGETHER, UH, STRATEGIC PLANNING, UH, PROCESS THE INFORMATION. 
          WE'VE, EXCUSE ME, THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE ON IT TO BE ABLE TO PUT, UH, FEET TO IT, BE ABLE TO START COMING UP WITH SOME, SOME INFORM. 
          WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU, VOLUNTEERS FOR THE COURT? UM, I'LL, UH, IF YOU'RE GONNA DISCUSS THE COURT? YES, CORRECT. 
          YES, SIR. 
          UH, I'LL LET LIEUTENANT DORIS ADDRESS THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          THINGS I COULD TALK ABOUT, VOLUNTEERS, THINGS WERE, AND, UH, ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO, EMAIL ASKING FOR VOLUNTEERS DO SET UP A PROFESSIONAL RECRUIT. 
          AND WE HAVE HAD SO MUCH INTEREST IN IT FROM, UM, RANK INVOLVED THAT DIFFERENT INTEREST ALREADY. 
          SO, UM, THE THINGS THAT WERE, WE TRAIN RECRUITMENT, WE SEND OUT TO THE ADDITIONAL RECRUIT TRY TO MEMBER OF THIS COMMUNITY, EXCUSE ME. 
          YOUR PREVIOUS, UM, COMMITTEE WHERE IT WAS INITIATIVES, WHAT'S YOUR THOUGHTS ON THINGS THAT YOU'VE DONE? SAW THAT WORK DIDN'T WORK? SO 
          [00:05:01]
AS WE, THIS WE CHIEF YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT, UM, HEARING FROM THE COMMUNITIES MM-HMM . 
          HOW, HOW ARE YOU GOING ABOUT HEARING FROM THEM RIGHT NOW? AND SO, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING. 
          UH, I HAVEN'T BEEN STUDYING FOR THE WHOLE LICENSING IN MY SPARE TIME. 
          I, I'VE JUST BEEN TALKING AND BE HONEST WITH YOU, I HAVEN'T TOLD THEM, WELL, YOU KNOW, I'M THE NEW CHIEF OF POLICE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. 
          BUT JUST MEETING THEM AND ASKING QUESTIONS AND, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF TIMES IT COMES UP WELL, YOU KNOW, WELL, I WANT POLICE DEPARTMENT. 
          I TRY TO KIND OF TRY TO AVOID THE, THE TOPIC OF WHAT OUR ROLE IS BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO TAINT WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY. 
          AND, UH, LIKE I SAID, IT'S BEEN BEEN OVERWHELMING, POSITIVE. 
          UM, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I DID WAS, UH, BACK HOME, EVEN WORK. 
          I EXCLUDE HANGING OUT AND TALK TO THE FOLKS IN BARBER SHOPS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          BARBER SHOP AND JUST GETTING MY HAIR CUT, SIT AROUND AND TALK TO THEM. 
          CONVERSATION FOR GENUINE CONVERSATION WITH PEOPLE HAD TO SAY, UM, ANSWERING THEIR, THEIR QUESTIONS THE BEST I COULD, WHAT SO FAR, WHAT OUR MISSION IS OVERALL TO SERVE AND PROTECT. 
          AND PEOPLE ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS TO, THEY KIND OF PRESSED ME ON WHAT, WHAT'S YOUR POSITION? POLICE DEPARTMENT, CHIEF OF POLICE. 
          NO, THAT WAS A BIG DEAL. 
          MINE HAD ONE GUY SAY WHAT MAN, I JUST MET THE CHIEF OF POLICE. 
          SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE COMMUNITY, UH, POLICING, UH, PIECE. 
          SO IS THAT, IS THAT PLAN TO HAVE CERTAIN, 'CAUSE WHEN I THINK OF COMMUNITY POLICING, I THINK OF CERTAIN OFFICERS ASSIGNED TO CERTAIN AREAS TO GET TO KNOW, TO WORK IN THOSE PARTICULAR, UM, COMMUNITIES. 
          IS THAT SORT OF THE FRAMEWORK YOU'RE LOOKING AT? OR, YOU KNOW, THAT'S PART OF IT IS GIVING OWNERSHIP TO THE AREAS THAT YOU WORK, BUT NOT JUST THAT COMMUNITY POLICING SHOULD NEVER BE JUST A PROGRAM. 
          RIGHT? THERE SHOULD BE A PHILOSOPHY. 
          THIS IS THE WAY WE CAN PROVE THIS. 
          UH, THE POLICE ARE THE COMMUNITY AND THE COMMUNITY. 
          AND SIR ROCK SAID THAT THE IDEA IS THAT, UM, AND IT'S, IT IS NOT JUST, IT'S NOT JUST A PROGRAM. 
          IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT PROGRAMS ARE, PROGRAMS HAVE A START DATE BREAK, AND THAT'S NOT WHAT WE WANNA DO. 
          UH, WE WANNA HAVE A GENUINE RELATIONSHIP WITH WHERE THERE'S A CONSTANT, UH, CONSTANT ACHE, UH, INFORMATION. 
          AND WE'RE FACILITATING NOT ONLY THE FULL INFORMATION DEPARTMENT, BUT WE'RE PUTTING INFORMATION OUT TO OUR CITIZENS OF THE . 
          UM, I'LL GIVE YOU A GOOD EXAMPLE OF, AND I LEARNED THIS FROM PRESENTATION ON THE STRATEGIC PLAN IS POLICE DEPARTMENTS DON'T DO A REALLY GOOD JOB OF CELEBRATING. 
          WE HAVE A STRESS, HUMILITY OF THE SERVICE. 
          SO WE DON'T DO A GOOD JOB OF IS EXPECTED OF US. 
          AND I THINK THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PROFESSIONAL AND BEING SOLID. 
          I CERTAINLY THINK THAT WE SHOULD BE PROFESSIONALS THAT WE CAN EXPECT CRISIS, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, OUR CITIZENS NEED TO KNOW. 
          I THINK THAT'S GONNA BUILD TRUST. 
          AND THAT'S GONNA, THAT'S WHERE YOU START GETTING INTO PROCEDURAL JUSTICE. 
          NOT ONLY ARE WE TRANSPARENT, AND NOT ONLY ARE WE GIVING PEOPLE VOICE AND ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS, SO SHARING WITH NOT ONLY IN THE COMMUNITY, BUT INTERNAL. 
          SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT MOST PEOPLE, HEALTH ENCY PROGRAM OFFICERS, UH, MAKE SURE THAT OUR CITIZENS KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO FUEL A HEALTHY, WELL-BALANCED PUBLIC SERVANT THE STREET, AND KNOW TO THE HOUSE TOO, BECAUSE THAT WILL SPILL OUT IN THE STREET. 
          AND CULTURE. 
          AND CHIEF, ANYTHING SPECIFIC YOU HEARD AT NATIONAL NIGHT OUT IN ANY WAY THAT WOULD SURPRISE YOU OR THAT YOU COULD SHARE WITH THE COMMITTEE? 'CAUSE I KNOW WE HAD THREE, 400 
          [00:10:01]
PEOPLE THAT WERE OUT THERE AT TOWN SQUARE, DIFFERENT PHILOSOPHY THIS YEAR. 
          A CENTRALIZED THING WHERE PEOPLE COULD SEE ALL THE, YOU KNOW, POLICE AND FIRE STUFF. 
          ANYTHING YOU HEARD THAT NIGHT? YEAH, I THINK THE BIGGEST THING THAT I HEARD, THE MOST RECURRING THING THAT I HEARD WAS, WERE INITIALLY NOT REAL, REAL ABOUT IT BEING IN A CENTRALIZED LOCATION. 
          BUT ONCE THEY GOT THERE, I SAW THE MUSIC AND THEY WERE ABLE TO GO TOUR ALL THE, UH, THE SPECIAL UNITS AND KOHLS EQUIPMENT POLICE DEPARTMENT HAD, THEY WERE GOING ESPECIALLY, UH, ESPECIALLY WITH IT CAN BE KIND OF WANDER ABOUT AND SOCIALIZE. 
          AND INSTEAD OF, INSTEAD OF THE OFFICERS HAVING TO, TO, TO PICK UP AND GO FROM THIS LOCATION TO THIS LOCATION, THEY, SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT COME TO SAID, WELL, IF THERE WERE MORE, THAT'S WHEN I ACTUALLY LIKE THEM TO, TO STAND AND TALK TO SOME OF THEM, OFFICER. 
          UM, SO THAT WAS ONE THAT WAS ONE OF THE BIG TAKEAWAY FOR ME. 
          AND I WAS SURPRISED THAT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT IT HAD BEEN DONE THIS WAY HERE. 
          BECAUSE IN MY EXPERIENCES, WE'VE ALWAYS DONE NATIONAL NIGHT OUT AND WITH CENTRAL LIFE LOCATION SO WE COULD GET EVERYBODY TOGETHER. 
          AND THE WHOLE IDEA BEHIND THAT TOO WAS DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE COMMUNITY, UH, INSTEAD OF JUST WANTING TO PARTICULAR PEOPLE. 
          AND, UH, YOU KNOW, THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO RIGHT, IS AND BUILD RELATIONSHIPS, NOT JUST WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND CITIZENS. 
          WE CAN FACILITATE BETTER UNDERSTANDING THOSE DIFFERENT GROUPS WITHIN OUR COMMUNITIES, NATIONAL NIGHT OUT AND SOME OF THE OTHER EVENTS THAT WE, AND WITHIN POLICE, BECAUSE WHO THE POLICE OFFICER AS A LEAVE SOMEBODY WHO HAS RANK OR JUST THE PATROL OFFICER OUT ON THE STREET THAT TIME SHIPPED TO THE CITIZENS. 
          WOULD YOU SAY THE REPRESENTATION AT THIS EVENT, UM, WAS OVER HALF MINORITY? 'CAUSE I MEAN, THE CITY OF BAYTOWN IS HISPANIC LARGEST PERCENTAGE. 
          I THINK THERE WAS A VERY GOOD AND THE BARBERSHOPS AND PLACES YOU'RE VISITING, IT WAS, IT WAS HISPANIC BARBER SHOP. 
          I WOULD TELL YOU FROM WHEN WE WERE THERE THAT NIGHT, IT VERY MUCH REPRESENTATIVE OF THE CITY AND, AND THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE CITY, WHAT WAS AT TOWN SQUARE. 
          AND WE GOT THE CALL, SAME AS, AS THE CHIEF DID ON BOTH SIDES. 
          THE PEOPLE THAT ATTENDED IT AT TOWN SQUARE LOVED IT BECAUSE THE DISPLAYS THAT WERE OUT, THE PEOPLE THAT WERE OUT, ALL THE CITY TENTS AND BANNERS, THERE WAS A LOT OF INTERACTION THAT WAS THERE. 
          AND WE DID GET THE CALLS FROM PEOPLE SAID, THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY DO ANYTHING TO FOSTER THE COHESION IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT THERE WERE PEOPLE THAT HAD NEIGHBORHOOD BARBECUES AND WHATNOT. 
          SO THOSE THAT DIDN'T NEED TO SEE A VEHICLE, A SWAT VEHICLE, FIRE TRUCK AND STUFF LIKE THAT, STILL HAD THEIR GROUP COOKOUTS, WHICH IS A WONDERFUL THING. 
          BUT IN TERMS OF THE INTERACTION, WHAT WE GOT, AND I'M SURE WHAT Y'ALL HEARD OUT THERE, IT WAS NICE HAVING ALL THE PEOPLE IN ONE PLACE, AND ONCE THEY WERE THERE, THEY DID ENJOY IT. 
          AND YOU CAN TAKE THOSE DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES, THOSE DIFFERENT AND INCREASE THAT INTERACTION. 
          I THINK THAT'S A GOOD, THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THE INTERVIEW DONE, AND IT REALLY WAS TO THAT YOU COULD MARSHAL YOUR RESOURCES IN ONE PLACE. 
          AS CHIEF SAID, WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO 30 TO 35 OF THESE IN THE CITIES AND YOU'RE PARSING OUT POLICE AND FIRE, IT'S PRETTY TOUGH TO DO THAT WHERE THERE THEY COULD HAVE ALL THE STUFF OUT THERE. 
          AND IT WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE SHOWING. 
          SO I COULD JUST SAY LAST YEAR, COMPARED TO THIS YEAR, UM, I RODE WITH STEVE OC LAST YEAR, AND, UM, I MEAN, WE ONLY WERE ABLE TO HIT LIKE THREE IN A MATTER OF HOUR AND A HALF BEFORE IT ROAD GOT DARK. 
          AND, UM, YOU, I MEAN, IT, IT, WE DIDN'T SEE NEARLY AS MANY PEOPLE AS WHAT WAS THERE AS, DID YOU HAVE BETTER QUALITY INTERACTION WITH THE SCHEDULED? AND I APPLAUD THEM SCHEDULED IT. 
          I THINK IT WAS, I THINK IT WAS. 
          ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE MAYOR FOR CHIEF? ARE YOU WILLING TO PUT A SURVEY ON, YOU KNOW, THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, UM, ASKING FOR OPINIONS? YOU ABSOLUTELY. 
          WE GET A LITTLE MORE OFFICIAL SURVEY. 
          I THINK THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT, UH, CUTTING YEAR, UH, DO SOME, SOME REGULAR CITIZEN SURVEY THINGS, UH, EXTENSIVELY AND FEEDBACK. 
          I DON'T SEE WHY THERE, DON'T SEE WHY WE CAN'T DO THAT ON. 
          [b.  Receive and discuss a report concerning the Baytown Police Strategic Plan.]
          [00:15:07]
OKAY. 
          YES, WE HAVE RECEIVED AND DISCUSS THE REPORT CONCERNING GEORGETOWN POLICE STRATEGIC PLAN. 
          DO YOU GUYS MIND IF I JUST SIT UP HERE WITH THE TABLE WITH YOU, OR YOU WANT ME MORE FORMAL WITH THE BIG ONE? SHOULD I BUTTON MY TOP CALL? THANKS TOWEL. 
          WELL, I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS. 
          UH, THIS HAS BEEN MY FIRST OPPORTUNITY TO COME AND SPEAK TO THIS ESTEEM GROUP, AND I REALLY DO THINK THEY'RE ESTEEM GROUP. 
          I APPRECIATE THE TIME THAT YOU'RE TAKING IN SUCH AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN OUR CITY AND, AND, UH, VIEW YOUR ROLE AS AS, AS VERY CRITICAL. 
          UH, ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, I INTERVIEWED THE CONCEPT, UH, AS SUCH PERTAINS TO OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT, OUR COMMUNITY CALLED COMMUNITY BASED STRATEGIC PLANNING. 
          NOW, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I'VE BEEN INTRODUCED TO MORE THAN A DECADE AGO. 
          UH, UH, DIDN'T COIN THE PHRASE, I DIDN'T INVENT IT, BUT I BECAME A STUDENT OF IT, AND I'M STILL A STUDENT OF IT. 
          BUT COMMUNITY BASED STRATEGIC PLANNING REALLY IS, IS AN EXERCISE IN DEEP COMMUNITY LISTENING. 
          OF COURSE, LISTENING WITHOUT ACTION FOLLOWING IT IS NOT REALLY A, A PLAN AT ALL. 
          SO IT'S NOT ONLY LISTENING, BUT IT'S ACTING ON WHAT WE LEARN FROM OUR CITIZENS. 
          IT TAKES TIME. 
          AND THIS, UH, PARTICULAR EXERCISE TOOK ABOUT A YEAR TO COMPLETE. 
          THAT'S NOT UNUSUAL. 
          UH, I, I HAD SPECIFICALLY TOLD THE COMMITTEE, WHICH I APPOINTED MYSELF, AND, UH, I, I BECAME THE OWNER OF THIS PROCESS. 
          I TOLD THEM TO TAKE AS MUCH TIME AS THEY ABSOLUTELY NEEDED TO IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAD ALL THE INFORMATION THEY NEEDED IN ORDER TO DEVELOP SPECIFIC STRATEGIC DIRECTIVES THAT WE COULD BEGIN TO ACT UPON. 
          UH, IT'S LIKE PIXELS IN A TELEVISION, REALLY, THE MORE PIXELS YOU HAVE, THE CLEARER THE PICTURE IS. 
          THE MORE WE BROADEN THE BASE OF PARTICIPATION IN STRATEGIC PLANNING, THE MORE CLEAR THE PICTURE IS WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO ELICIT OR TO REALIZE AND ENJOY THE, THE PRODUCT THAT WE WANT AT THE END OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN. 
          SO, UH, FIRST OF ALL, I'M NOT GOING TO TALK A LOT ABOUT THE, THE PROCESS AND THE PLAN ITSELF. 
          I'M GONNA LET MY COLLEAGUE BRIAN MARIN, UH, DO THAT FOR US. 
          BUT I DO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE MY COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND THOSE WHO HELPED TO FACILITATE THIS. 
          FIRST OF ALL, LAKEISHA HOLMES WAS ABSOLUTELY INVALUABLE AS THE CHAIR OF THIS COMMITTEE, ACE SAIN, ALSO VERY VALUABLE. 
          RICHARD WHITAKER, UH, SERVED ON THE COMMITTEE AS WELL AS AARON CROW, WHO'S HERE WITH US TONIGHT. 
          PRE SEEN A COMMUNITY MEMBER, BILL NELSON, UH, ONE OF OUR POLICE OFFICERS AND DEREK WADE FINALLY, UH, REV OUT THIS ESTEEM GROUP. 
          SO VERY GRATEFUL FOR THESE SEVEN INDIVIDUALS, THEIR SACRIFICE AND AND DILIGENCE. 
          IN PUTTING THIS PLAN TOGETHER, UH, I AGAIN, ACKNOWLEDGE THE ROLE THAT MY COLLEAGUE BRIAN MORAN HAD IN FACILITATING THIS GROUP WITH, UH, KIM MILSTEAD OF THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, UH, ALSO HELPED FACILITATE, AND WE ALSO TAPPED SOME TALENT FROM A YOUNG MAN THAT I KNOW NAMED MACKEY SMITH, WHO CONDUCTED A LOT OF THE FOCUS GROUP EXERCISES RELATED, UH, TO THIS. 
          AT THE END OF THE, UH, REALLY THE FIVE PHASE, UH, APPROACH TO THIS PLAN, YOU'RE, YOU SEE THE PRODUCT IN FRONT OF YOU, BRIAN'S GOING TO EXPLAIN TO US THE METHODOLOGY THAT WAS UTILIZED TO GATHER THE DATA, THE FOUR TENETS THAT EMERGED OUT OF THIS STRATEGIC DIRECTIVES THAT EMERGED OUT OF THIS, HOW WE'RE GOING TO TRACK PROGRESS AND IMPLEMENT THE PLAN. 
          AND, UH, THEN I'LL COME BACK IN AND KIND OF WRAP IT UP. 
          SO AT THIS TIME, I'M GONNA TURN IT OVER TO BRIAN MORAN. 
          HELLO EVERYBODY. 
          IT'S, UH, PLEASURE TO BE WITH YOU. 
          THIS HERE, THIS EVENING. 
          UM, JUST TO GET STARTED OFF, UM, THE STRATEGIC PLANNING ADVISORY COMMITTEE, UM, FOR THE STRATEGIC PLAN REALLY WANTED TO ROBUST, UM, COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROCESS. 
          SO THEY ENDED UP, UM, HOSTING A SERIES OF POST GROUPS WITH STAKEHOLDERS THAT, UM, THEY IDENTIFIED, YOU KNOW, WITHIN THE COMMUNITY, UM, IN ADDITION TO THREE PUBLIC WORKSHOPS. 
          UM, TWO OF THOSE WERE VIRTUAL. 
          THERE WAS ALSO, UM, SEVERAL INTERVIEWS, UM, THAT WERE CONDUCTED WITH VARIOUS COMMUNITY LEADERS. 
          UM, THEY ALSO COMMISSIONED, UM, A SATISFACTION SURVEY ON US, THE POLICE SERVICES. 
          UM, AND THEN THE COMMITTEE ALSO UTILIZED, UM, OUR ANYTOWN ENGAGE PLATFORM AS A WAY TO INTERACT AND, UM, CONNECT, UM, YOU KNOW, WITH THE CITIZENRY, UM, TO ASK QUESTIONS 
          [00:20:01]
TO ABOUT MEETINGS AND OTHER WAYS, UM, FOR VARIOUS PUBLIC PARTICIPATION. 
          UM, SOME OF THE GROUPS THAT THEY MET WITH WERE THE WEST BAY PACIFIC ASSOCIATION, THE EIGHTH DISTRICT, UM, SOME OF THE HIGH SCHOOL AND LEWIS STUDENTS FROM CREEK, UM, SEVERAL OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND HOAS, UM, THE JUNETEENTH, UM, CELEBRATION COMMITTEE, CUAS CLUB, AS WELL AS THE BAYTOWN LEASE DEPARTMENT. 
          UM, FROM, FROM THESE INTERACTIONS AND CONVERSATIONS THAT THEY HAD WITH, UM, THE COMMUNITY, UM, THE PERCEIVED STRENGTHS THAT WERE NOTICED FOR INVOLVEMENT, UM, POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE COMMUNITY THAT THERE'S BEEN OVER TIME, GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT, UM, AS WELL AS THE IMPLEMENTATION OF BODY CAMERAS. 
          UM, SOME OF THE AREAS, UM, THAT WERE NOTICED WHERE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT COULD IMPROVE FOR RESOURCES ALLOCATED TO ADDRESS MENTAL HEALTH, UM, COMMUNITY POLICING INITIATIVES, YOUTH ENGAGEMENT, EXPANDED TRAINING, UM, EDUCATION, UM, IN REGARDS TO TRAINING. 
          AND THEN JUST OVERALL TRANSPARENCY. 
          THIS IS POLICY PROCEDURES, UM, HOW IT'S COMMUNICATED, UM, TO THE PUBLIC. 
          AND THEN ULTIMATELY WHAT WAS DETERMINED WERE THE FOUR STRATEGIC DIRECTIVES, WHICH ARE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS, MENTAL HEALTH, UH, COMMUNITY POLICING. 
          AND THEN LASTLY, UM, ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY FOR IDENTIFIED. 
          SO WHAT, WHAT WAS THE OBJECTIVE OF ALL THIS TO BEGIN WITH? WELL, WE HAD A SINGULAR PURPOSE. 
          AND, UH, YOU CAN READ A MISSION STATEMENT, THE MISSION STATEMENT THAT THE GROUP ESTABLISHED AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS. 
          BUT IN A NUT NUTSHELL, IT WAS TO DEVELOP A STRATEGY THAT WOULD RESULT IN ELEVATING TRUST BETWEEN OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT AND OUR COMMUNITY. 
          THAT IN THE END OF THE DAY IS OUR CURRENCY, IS WHAT WE RUN OFF, IS WHAT DRIVES OUR RESOURCE ENGINE, IS TRUST. 
          AND SO WE WANT TO, UH, OBVIOUSLY CONTINUE TO ENGAGE THE COMMITTEE IN MONITORING PROGRESS. 
          UH, WE WILL HAVE A COMMUNITY SCORECARD THAT WILL BE PART OF OUR, UH, POLICE, UH, PAGE THAT FOLKS WILL BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT INITIATIVES WORK. 
          THEY'LL SEE THE WHOLE PLAN, AND THEN THEY'LL SEE WHAT'S BEEN, UH, EXECUTED. 
          AND, UH, WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO MEASURE PROGRESS, UH, EMPIRICALLY YEAR AFTER YEAR SO THAT WE CAN SHOW, UH, THE COURSE TOWARDS, UH, SUCCESS. 
          THIS IS NOT HOW WE'RE PROGRESSING. 
          THIS IS NOT JUST A COMMITTEE PLAN, JUST WITH THE PARENTHESES, IT'S OPEN, OPEN PARENTHESES, AND AS OF RIGHT NOW, THERE'S NO END DATE. 
          IT'S GONNA BE ONGOING. 
          THAT'S RIGHT. 
          THIS IS A FIVE YEAR PLAN. 
          THAT'S HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO, UH, EXECUTE ALL OF THESE INITIATIVES. 
          UH, THAT'S WHAT'S INTENDED. 
          AND ON, DURING THAT TIME, WE WILL BE MONITORING AND MEASURING OUR PROGRESS. 
          WE WILL BE REPORTING BACK TO THE COMMITTEE. 
          THE COMMITTEE WILL BE REPORTING BACK TO ME. 
          UH, I'LL BE HAVING REGULAR MEETINGS WITH THE CHIEF. 
          THE CHIEF HAS ALREADY TAKEN THE INITIATIVE TO ORGANIZE TEAMS, AS HE MENTIONED, TO ADDRESS EACH OF THESE STRATEGIC DIRECTIVES. 
          BUT I ALSO WANT YOU TO NOTICE ONE LAST THING IN CLOSING, AND THAT IS HOW CLOSELY THIS PARALLELS THE WORK THAT YOU ALL HAVE ALREADY DONE RIGHT NOW. 
          YEAH, I WAS SITTING THERE THINKING THE SAME THING. 
          WE COME UP WITH SAME, SAME BUCKETS. 
          I'M AMAZING THAT THIS SHOULD GIVE YOU NOT ONLY, UH, CONFIDENCE, BUT BUT ALSO FEEL, UH, SOMEWHAT OF A MANDATE IN CONTINUING TO MOVE IN THE DIRECTION YOU ARE. 
          THIS IS CLEARLY WHAT OUR CITIZENS ASK FOR. 
          THEY WANT MORE TRANSPARENCY. 
          THEY WANT MORE ENGAGEMENT. 
          THEY WANNA SEE MORE OF OUR POLICE OFFICERS, NOT LESS. 
          THEY, THEY WANT TO, UH, SEE THAT MENTAL HEALTH IS ADDRESSED IN OUR COMMUNITY. 
          THAT THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A ONE SIZE FITS ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT. 
          THAT, THAT WE HAVE A MULTIPLICITY OF SITUATIONS THAT WE'VE GOTTA BE PREPARED OR, OR SCENARIOS THAT WE HAVE TO BE PREPARED TO ADDRESS. 
          UH, I'M GRATIFIED BY THE RESULTS OF THE SURVEY THAT WE, WE DID AS PART OF THIS. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WERE ABLE TO SEE THOSE RESULTS, BUT IT INDICATES THAT THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF TRUST TO ALREADY, UH, BUILD OFF OF. 
          IT DOESN'T MEAN THERE'S A WHOLE LOT MORE WORK THAT WE CAN'T DO, BUT, UH, WE DO HAVE A POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT, THAT, UH, I'M VERY PROUD OF. 
          AND, UH, AND WE'RE GOING TO GO FROM GOOD TO GREAT. 
          IF I CAN THROW SOMETHING IN ON THAT. 
          IN, IN MY INTERACTIONS WITH THE COMMUNITY, I, I LEARNED SOMETHING THAT I, I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WOULD HEAR FROM CITIZENS. 
          THEY WANTED MORE TRAFFIC CONTROL. 
          IT KIND OF BLEW MY MIND BECAUSE THE AREA WHERE I COME FROM, THEY WANT LESS TRAFFIC CONTROL. 
          THEY DON'T 
          [00:25:01]
WANT PEOPLE TO BE. 
          UM, SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT'S ALREADY DONE IS BEEN ABLE DEVELOP A TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT TEAM BEFORE SO THEY CAN GET OFFICERS OUT THERE ON THE STREET MAKING SURE THAT, UH, MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE, WE'RE, UH, WE, EVEN OUR ROADWAY SAY, BUT IT BLEW MY MIND THAT, YOU KNOW, WE WANNA SEE MORE, MORE TRAFFIC CONTROL. 
          MORE TRAFFIC. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          AND THIS IS EMPIRICALLY OF SUPPORTIVE. 
          YEAH. 
          SO JUST HAPPY TO, UH, TO PRESENT THIS FINALLY TO YOU. 
          SORRY IT TOOK A WHILE TO GET TO YOU, BUT APPRECIATE AGAIN, ALL THE WORK THAT YOU'RE DOING. 
          UH, HAVE A LOT OF CONFIDENCE AND OPTIMISM ABOUT THE PATHWAY FORWARD. 
          WE HAVE A WONDERFUL TEAM AT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, UH, AWESOME COPS AND, AND, UH, WONDERFUL CITIZENS. 
          AND I, I'M VERY OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THE FUTURE. 
          IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR US, WE'RE, WE'RE HAPPY TO ENTERTAIN THIS. 
          HOW OFTEN IS THIS COMMITTEE GONNA MEET IN THE FUTURE? YEAH, THAT'S A, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. 
          I'M NOT SURE WE'VE DETERMINED THAT EXACTLY. 
          WE DO KNOW THAT WE WANT THEM TO AT LEAST ANNUALLY MEASURE PROGRESS THAT WE'VE MADE. 
          I DON'T THINK THAT THEY'LL BE MEETING, LIKE THEY'RE NOWHERE CLOSE TO THIS KIND OF A GROUP THERE. 
          THEY'RE A GROUP THAT I PUT TOGETHER, A COMMITTEE I PUT TOGETHER. 
          UH, WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT. 
          IT, IT COULD BE THAT WE, WE PROBABLY MAYBE WANT TO ENGAGE THEM A COUPLE OF TIMES A YEAR BECAUSE I CAN, I CAN DEFINITELY SEE IN, IN ADDITION TO WHAT DR. 
          STANCI JUST SAID OF, YOU KNOW, UH, FROM EAST TEXAS, WE BUMP BRAINS WITH ONE ANOTHER. 
          YOU KNOW, IF WE'VE GOT AN IDEA, I THINK IT'D BE A MAYBE JOINT MEETING EVERY NOW AND THEN JUST TO KIND OF JUST AS, YOU KNOW, SEE WHAT, WHAT PARALLELS SO THAT IF THERE'S SOMETHING WE CAN ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER ON THAT MAY, MAYBE SOMETHING TO JUST THINK ABOUT, WELL, WHAT IS THEIR CHARGE MOVING FORWARD? I MEAN, I KNOW THEY HELP CREATE THIS, BUT WHAT IS THEIR CHARGE WHEN THEY MEET? IS IT TO, TO LOOK, TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE, MAYBE I MISSED THAT, I MISSED THAT BEING MADE PROGRESS. 
          YES. 
          SO IT CERTAINLY HELPS TO HAVE THE STRATEGIC PLANNING COMMITTEE REMAIN ENGAGED AS, UH, ALMOST AN EXTERNAL, UH, OBSERVER OF PROGRESS. 
          AND THEY CAN VALIDATE THAT. 
          AND WHEN THEY SPEAK THAT TO THE COUNCIL OR TO ME, THAT THAT GIVES US A LOT MORE CONFIDENCE THAT, THAT THINGS ACTUALLY ARE MOVING OVER. 
          THEY, THEY NEED TO CONTINUE TO BE ENGAGED. 
          THEY NEED TO CONTINUE TO SCRUTINIZE, UH, THE PROGRESS AND JUST MAKE SURE THAT THEIR PLAN DOESN'T FALL ON DEAF EARS AND IT'S JUST SHELVED SOMEWHERE THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY IMPLEMENTING. 
          OBVIOUSLY WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A TOOL ONLINE THAT, THAT SHOWS VERY BLATANTLY THAT, THAT THESE THINGS ARE BEING, BEING IMPLEMENTED. 
          BUT IS IT HAVING THE EFFECT THAT WE REALLY WANT, WANT TO HAVE? MY QUESTION WOULD BE DATA AND I PERSON, SO YOU GONNA PRODUCE RESULTS AND GATHER THAT INFORMATION AND PUBLICLY RELEASE IT. 
          WHAT'S THE CADENCE FOR THAT? IS, IS IT REAL TIME? IS IT SOMETHING DONE QUARTERLY YEAR? IT'LL BE DONE QUARTERLY. 
          QUARTERLY. 
          AND THE PUBLIC WEBSITES, LIKE RIGHT NOW, UHHUH. 
          , YEP. 
          SO LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, I'M LOOKING AT THE COMMUNITY ORIENTED POLICE FORCE. 
          IS, IS IT, IS IT THE CHIEF'S RESPONSIBILITY OR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO SAY WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE? OR IS THIS SOMETHING THAT THE COMMITTEE COMES AND SAYS, THIS IS WHAT WE THINK IT LOOKS LIKE, AND THEN HAS, HAS A DIALOGUE WITH THE PD? HOW, HOW EXACTLY WOULD THAT WELL, THE, I'D SAY YES TO BOTH OF THOSE. 
          SO THE COMMITTEE HAS ARTICULATED WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE FOR EACH ONE OF THESE DIRECTIVES. 
          I HAVE TAKEN THIS PLAN AND HANDED IT OVER TO THE CHIEF. 
          OKAY. 
          AND WE MEET VERY FREQUENTLY. 
          I'M VERY GRATIFIED AT HIS, HIS, UH, ANXIOUSNESS TO GET THINGS ENGAGED AND TO ENGAGE HIS, UH, HIS OFFICERS IN IMPLEMENTING THESE THINGS. 
          WE WILL BE TALKING OFTEN, UH, ABOUT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN. 
          SO IT, IT'S BOTH THE COMMITTEE AND I BELIEVE THEY WILL CONTINUE TO ARTICULATE WHAT THEY, AND THAT'S PURPOSE OF HAVING THEM CONTINUE TO BE ENGAGED IS, THAT'S NOT REALLY WHAT WE WERE THINKING OR IT'S NOT REALLY WHAT WE HEARD. 
          WHAT WE HEARD WAS THIS GIVE US A COURSE CORRECTION. 
          IF THEY SEE US NOT GOING DOWN THE PATH THAT THEY HAVE PRESCRIBED THAT, THAT'S GONNA BE VERY HELPFUL. 
          SO I'M READING YOUR FACE, PASTOR, AND, PARDON, IF I READ YOUR FACE WRONG, READ IT. 
          BUT  THE QUESTION THAT YOU'RE ASKING IS, SO YOU HAVE TWO COMMITTEES THAT HAVE AN AWFUL LOT OF OVERLAP. 
          WHAT'S THE NEED FOR THE TWO? IS WHAT YOU'RE REALLY ASKING. 
          WHAT'S THE DIFFERENTIATION YOU'VE GOT? NOT NECESSARILY WHAT'S THE NEED FOR THE TWO, BUT WHAT'S THE DIFFERENTIATION? WHAT'S THE DIFFERENTIATION BETWEEN THE STRATEGIC PLANNING COMMITTEE AND THIS AND THIS GROUP AND THIS GROUP? OKAY, SO LET ME, YEAH, I DIDN'T GET THAT. 
          YOU DIDN'T READ THAT? NO, I DID NOT. 
          NOT YOU BETTER LEAD IT THAN I AM. 
          UM, SO THE STRATEGIC PLANNING COMMITTEE IS AN AD HOC COMMITTEE THAT I PUT TOGETHER, THE COUNCIL PUT THIS TOGETHER. 
          MY COMMITTEE SERVES A PURPOSE, A SPECIFIC PURPOSE, AND THAT IS TO GENERATE, TO GO OUT AND ENGAGE IN DEEP COMMUNITY LISTENING AND 
          [00:30:01]
DEVELOP A PLAN FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS THAT WILL HELP US ELEVATE TRUST. 
          YOURS IS, YOU KNOW, YOUR CHARTER. 
          IT'S MUCH BROADER THAN THAT. 
          THIS COMMITTEE'S NOT INTENDED TO EXIST IN PERPETUITY PER SE. 
          IT'S TO CONTINUE TO HELP ME WATCH AND VALIDATE THE PROCESS AS, AS IT'S, THE PLAN IS IMPLEMENTED. 
          BUT IT'S NOT TO OVERSEE, UH, ANYTHING OR DEVELOP POLICY OR TO HEAR CITIZEN CONCERNS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT HAS SOLELY A CITY MANAGER COMMITTEE. 
          IT HAS NO LEGISLATIVE CHARTER FROM OUR, OUR ELECTED MODEL. 
          DOES THAT HELP? BECAUSE I KNOW THAT'S COME UP BEFORE IT, IT REALLY IS AROUND A DELIVERABLE. 
          THE STRATEGIC PLAN THAT THEY CONTINUE TO MONITOR AND MAKE SURE YOURS, AS RICK SAID AT THE END, REALLY IS THE CITIZEN OUTREACH THAT THEY HAVE A PLACE TO COME TO AND TALK TO Y'ALL ALL THE TIME. 
          HOWEVER LONG, THE STRATEGIC PLANNING COMMITTEE WHO SAID AT THE END WOULD HAVE A LENGTH AND A 10 YEAR, NOT NECESSARILY THE SAME CASE AS Y'ALL, WHEN THINGS WERE PROBABLY AT THEIR WORST . 
          UH, MEANING, I MEAN, I THINK, YOU KNOW, WHAT WAS GOING ON IN 2020 AND, AND ALL THAT. 
          AND, UH, THE COUNCIL AND THE MAYOR, UH, APPROACHED ME AND SAID, UH, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT THIS? YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO TO RESTORE TRUST? AND I DEVELOPED A, I THINK YOU, YOU PROBABLY READ ABOUT THIS, I AND THE PAPER, I, I DEVELOPED A FOUR POINT PLAN, AND ONE WAS TO MAKE STRATEGIC PERSONNEL, UH, ADJUSTMENTS. 
          THE OTHER ONE WAS TO, UH, UH, DISCIPLINE BAD BEHAVIOR TO THE FULLEST EXTENT POSSIBLE ALLOWED BY CIVIL SERVICE LAW AND DUE PROCESS. 
          NUMBER THREE WAS TO, WE WERE GONNA FORMALIZE THE CITIZEN ADVISORY COMMITTEE INTO THE BAYTOWN POLICE ADVISORY COMMITTEE. 
          AND NUMBER FOUR WAS THAT WE WERE GOING TO DEVELOP AND EXECUTE A FIVE YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN. 
          UH, THAT'S COMMUNITY BASED, DESIGNED TO ELEVATE TRUST. 
          SO THIS IS THE FOURTH TENET OF THAT FOUR POINT PLAN. 
          OBVIOUSLY, MANY OF THESE ARE ONGOING. 
          YOU'RE ONGOING. 
          WE CONTINUE TO BE, AND I THINK OUR, OUR DEPARTMENT HAS SHOWN THAT VERY PROACTIVE. 
          AND, UH, SOMETIMES, UH, WHAT WE SAY IS WE, THE TERM IS USED POLICE OUR OWN. 
          BUT, BUT, UH, AS YOU SEE, WE'VE BEEN VERY PROACTIVE IN, IN ADDRESSING BAD BEHAVIOR. 
          I THINK THE DEPARTMENT HAS A, A, YOU KNOW, A HISTORY OF THAT, A TRADITION OF THAT ALMOST. 
          BUT, UH, BUT WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE TO DO THAT. 
          SO A LOT OF THESE ARE CONTINUED TO DO. 
          UH, BUT WE THINK THIS FOUR POINT PLAN, AND THE, THE COUNCIL AND THE MAYOR ARE VERY CONFIDENT THAT IT'S GONNA GET US WHERE WE NEED TO BE. 
          WE, WE UNDERSTAND THIS IS A JOURNEY. 
          WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO. 
          UH, NOT THAT WE'RE IN SUCH A TRUST DEFICIT, BUT WE CAN GET SO MUCH BETTER. 
          UH, AND, UH, CHIEF HOLDEN HELPED ELEVATE US. 
          UH, CHIEF STRINGER'S GONNA HELP ELEVATE US. 
          YOU ALL ARE GONNA HELP ELEVATE US AND, UH, WORKING TOGETHER. 
          WE'RE GONNA LOOK LIKE A DIFFERENT COMMUNITY. 
          I THINK IN, IN FIVE YEARS, IN 10 YEARS, IN 20 YEARS, I THINK WE'RE HEADING DOWN THE WRONG PATH, THE RIGHT PATH. 
          IS THERE A DISCUSSION ON REMOVING THE CIVIL SERVICE LAWS SO THAT WAY POLICE ARE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS THE SAME WAY THE C IS? YEAH, I'VE NEVER HEARD ANY TALK OF THAT. 
          I CERTAINLY IS A BIT ABOVE MY, UH, USUAL PLATFORM, UH, IN TERMS OF TALKING ABOUT, BUT I HAVE, I, I DEFER TO ANYBODY ELSE OF, HAS ANYBODY ELSE EVER HEARD THAT IDEA? 'CAUSE I MEAN, THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT'S PROTECTING, OH, JARRIS IS HERE. 
          JARRIS. 
          HAS THERE EVER BEEN A, HAS THERE TALK ABOUT NO, THERE HAS NOT BEEN. 
          THERE HAS NOT, THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY DISCUSSION. 
          THAT'S WHAT'S PROTECTING OFFICER DE LA CRUZ. 
          YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          OH, DID, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION? I'M SORRY. 
          OH, OKAY. 
          SOMEBODY ELSE PRESENT? I DIDN HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT MEASURABLE. 
          UM, BECAUSE IF WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT, YOU KNOW, IF THEY'RE GONNA BE REPORTING OR YOU'RE GONNA BE REPORTING MEASURABLES TO THIS COMMITTEE QUARTERLY, OR I CAN'T REMEMBER, I'M SORRY, QUARTERLY COMING OFF, UM, IS IT POSSIBLE TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THOSE MEASURABLES IN TERMS OF WHAT THE WORK THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT AS WELL, SO IT'S NOT BEATING A DEAD HORSE TO YOUR POINT. 
          YEAH. 
          UM, IS IT POSSIBLE? WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE THOSE THINGS TOO? YEAH. 
          WELL, I THINK, I THINK TO, TO PIGGY BACK ON, ON, ON WHAT SHE'S, WHERE SHE'S GOING AND UP, AND IF I'M WRONG, TELL ME. 
          I THINK THAT THERE ARE SOME PARALLELS THAT I'M SEEING OF SOME DISCUSSIONS THAT, THAT EACH ONE OF OUR, WITHIN OUR DISTRICTS THAT WE'RE, THAT WE'RE HAVING TALKING TO PEOPLE THAT IF, IF, IF WE BRING IT BACK TO THIS COMMITTEE AND WE PUT IT IN ONE OF OUR BUCKETS AND THERE, AND IT'S 
          [00:35:01]
A REDUNDANCY, NOT THAT REDUNDANCY IS ALWAYS BAD, UH, BUT JUST TO BE AWARE OF IT, YOU KNOW, WE CAN HOPEFULLY BE ABLE TO COME BACK WITH A QUICKER ANSWER OF, OKAY, STRATEGIC PLANNING COMMITTEE IS ALREADY ADDRESSING SUBJECT A. 
          SO RATHER THAN BPAC WALLERING IN, HOW ARE WE GONNA FIX THIS? HOW ARE WE GONNA FIX THIS? WE CAN COME BACK TO OUR, THE PEOPLE THAT WE'RE REPRESENTING HERE IN THE DEEPAK AND GO, HEY, WE'VE GOT, THERE IS A SOLUTION THAT IS IN THE PIPELINE THAT WAY IT, IT, IT'S PROACTIVE. 
          AND, AND THEN I THINK, AND THE MEASURABLES POSSIBLY WORK TOGETHER. 
          YEAH. 
          I THINK IT'LL, IT'LL STOP ME ASKING HIM SO MANY QUESTIONS. 
          I MEAN, I FEEL LIKE ALL , THIS, LIKE, THIS WHOLE ENTIRE STRATEGIC PLAN IS LIKE AN ANSWERED PRAYER. 
          YEAH. 
          SO FIRST, FIRST OF ALL, THE COMMITTEE IS NOT GOING TO BE IMPLEMENTING THIS PLAN. 
          THIS IS PLAN THAT'S GONNA BE IMPLEMENTED BY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. 
          POLICE IS EVER PRE PRESENT IN YOUR, YOUR MEETING. 
          AND, AND, UH, CERTAINLY THAT THEY CAN UPDATE YOU FROM TIME TO TIME ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS PLAN. 
          NUMBER TWO, WE'RE GONNA MAKE THIS AS TRANSPARENT AS POSSIBLE. 
          WE'RE GONNA PUT THIS ONLINE, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO ACCESS IT AT ANY TIME AND, AND GET AN IDEA OF WHERE WE ARE. 
          UH, NUMBER THREE, IF WE DO ANY KIND OF EMPIRICAL MEASURING OR, OR SAMPLING OR STUDY, UH, I WILL MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET THE RESULTS OF THAT ALSO. 
          UH, AND I THINK BETWEEN ALL OF THOSE THINGS, I THINK YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE TIED IN PRETTY TIGHTLY TO WHAT WE'RE DOING. 
          BUT OUR COMMITTEE PROBABLY IS NOT GONNA BE THE APPROPRIATE SOURCE FOR YOU OR, OR, UH, LIKE I SAID, THE CHIEF IS GONNA BE WAY MORE TIED INTO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS PLAN THAN, THAN THE COMMITTEE IS. 
          THEIR JOB WAS TO CREATE THIS. 
          AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT'S GOOD ABOUT THIS. 
          THESE ARE THE BIG BROAD BRUSH STROKES OF IT. 
          AND WE'RE GOING TO ACTUALLY DEVELOP THE ACTUAL PLANS YEAH. 
          THAT MAKE THIS THING SUCCEED. 
          UM, WE DEVELOP THE GOALS, THE OBJECTIVES, THE WORK PLANS, AND, UH, WE'LL COME UP WITH AN INSTRUMENTS FOR IT. 
          BUT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS, I, I THINK THAT'S ACTUALLY A REALLY GOOD GOOD POINT ABOUT THIS PLAN IS THAT YOU'RE HEARING THE SAME THINGS THAT ARE BEING PRODUCED FROM THIS PLAN. 
          SO THAT MEANS THAT WE'RE GETTING GOOD INFORMATION. 
          WELL, IT'S, IT'S PUTTING US IN A, IT'S ENCOURAGING TO ME THAT FROM TWO DIFFERENT FRONTS YES. 
          THE SAME, AT LEAST SOME OF THE SAME TOPICS HAVE BEEN IN IT'S CONSISTENCY FROM, FROM BOTH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND CITIZENRY. 
          THE PATHWAY IS VERY CLEAR. 
          YES. 
          SO, I MEAN, I THINK THAT'S BEAUTIFUL. 
          AND I THINK THAT MAYBE, I THINK MAYBE THE ROLE OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE HERE IS, IS, IS AS WE START MOVING THROUGH THIS, IS YOU'RE GETTING THAT FEEDBACK FROM THE CITIZENS THAT MAYBE WE'RE NOT SEEING. 
          AND I WAS GONNA, AND I WAS GONNA SAY, ASK US WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY. 
          IT DOESN'T SURPRISE ME THAT IT'S THAT YOU'RE GETTING THE SAME, THE SAME GOALS BECAUSE BOTH OF THE, BOTH OF THE GROUPS WENT TO THE SAME PEOPLE. 
          IT WENT TO THE COMMUNITY. 
          YEAH. 
          OUR BUCKETS CAME FROM COMMUNITY MEETINGS THAT WE HAD SEE BLIND SPOTS AS WE BEGIN TO PUT THIS PLAN INTO PLACE THAT, UM, MAYBE THERE'S, THERE'S CERTAIN ELEMENTS OF THE COMMUNITY THAT WE'RE STILL NOT QUITE GETTING INFORMATION FROM. 
          AND WE THINK THAT WE'RE DOING A GOOD JOB, BUT WE'RE NOT HEARING ANYTHING BACK FROM PEOPLE. 
          THERE ARE STILL SOME PEOPLE WHO DON'T FEEL QUITE COMFORTABLE TALKING YET, BUT IF THEY'LL TALK TO YOU AND YOU CAN SAY, HEY, LOOK, UM, THIS PARTICULAR PART OF, OF YOUR INITIATIVE THAT YOU'RE, YOU'RE WORKING ON RIGHT NOW, UM, WE'VE GOT SOME, WE'VE GOT SOME INFORMATION THAT YOU MIGHT, MIGHT BE ABLE TO USE TO ADAPT IT TO KIND OF TWEAK IT, IF YOU WILL. 
          AND THIS IS COMING BACK FROM THE COMMUNITY TO SEE WHAT YOU'RE DOING, WHICH HOPEFULLY IT'S APPRECIATED, BUT IT'S NOT QUITE WHAT THEY WANT. 
          AND I THINK THAT'S ONE OF BIG THINGS ABOUT, UH, THESE STRATEGIC PLANS IS YOU ASK YOUR COMMUNITY, NOT JUST, NOT JUST IS THERE A PROBLEM, BUT WHAT SERVICES DO YOU LIKE YOU NEED FROM YOUR C THAT'S THE WHOLE IDEA IS THAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING TOGETHER. 
          WE'RE, I, I HOPE THIS PLAN WILL BE A TOOL FOR YOU. 
          DON'T WORRY ABOUT SOME OTHER  THAT LOOKS LIKE YOU THAT'S WORKING THIS PLAN. 
          THEY'RE NOT THIS, THIS IS THE CHIEF THAT'S WORKED IN THIS PLAN, AND HE IS, YOU'RE GONNA HOPEFULLY HELP HIM IMPLEMENT THIS. 
          THIS SHOULD PROVIDE YOU NOT ONLY A SUBSTANTIATION FOR THE, THE THINGS THAT YOU'VE ALREADY CONCLUDED THAT WE NEED TO DO, BUT IT SHOULD ALSO MAYBE PROVIDE YOU WITH SOME ADDITIONAL INITIATIVES AND IDEAS THAT YOU CAN HELP US IMPLEMENT. 
          SO THAT MAKES SENSE. 
          YEAH. 
          BECAUSE AT FIRST I FELT LIKE IT WAS IN TANDEM. 
          RIGHT. 
          BUT NOW I, NOW I UNDERSTAND. 
          LIKE, THAT MAKES SENSE. 
          YEAH. 
          AND IT'LL BE THE, I'LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. 
          I'LL BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR IT. 
          IT'LL BE THESE FOLKS HERE THAT ARE HAPPEN BECAUSE THERE'S A, FOR THAT POLICE DEPARTMENT, 
          [00:40:01]
YOU'RE, YOU'RE AWARE OF ALL THE GROUPS THAT I LOOK FORWARD TO PRESENTING THIS TO. 
          THIS IS TOP OF MY LIST BECAUSE YOU ALL ARE GONNA BE THE IMPLEMENTERS. 
          THIS IS, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE GONNA HELP US MAKE SURE THESE THINGS GET DONE. 
          SO, SO LOOKING AT THE STRATEGIC PLAN, SORRY. 
          UM, EXCUSE ME. 
          UM, THE, WHAT DOES SUCCESS LOOK LIKE? THAT'S YOUR MEASURABLES. 
          NO, THAT'S A DESCRIPTION OF, UH, UH, WHEN WE WILL KNOW WHETHER WHAT WE HAVE SUGGESTED IS ACTUALLY HAVING THE DESIRE AND EFFECT. 
          OKAY. 
          FOR EXAMPLE, FIVE YEARS DOWN THE ROAD, IF WE HAVE DONE WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING TO DO, WE WOULD EXPECT TO SEE THIS. 
          THIS IS, I CAN DESCRIBE THE FUTURE THIS WAY. 
          IT MAY NOT EXACTLY TURN OUT THAT WAY, BUT IN 2021 LANGUAGE, IT'S AS CLOSE AS WE CAN GET TO DESCRIBING OF THE DESIRED OUTCOME. 
          AND, AND WE DO DIVIDE IN INPUTS, OUTPUTS, AND OUTCOMES DIFFERENTLY. 
          YOU KNOW, AND INCOMES AND OUTPUTS ARE USUALLY WHAT WE DEAL WITH IN USUAL CITY BUSINESS. 
          BUT OUTCOMES ARE REALLY HOW OUR CITIZENS' LIVES ENRICHED, MADE BETTER, UH, BECAUSE WE DID THE INPUTS AND THE OUT AND HAD THE OUTPUTS. 
          UH, SO IT IS AS A PARAGRAPHICAL DESCRIPTION OF OUTCOMES. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT, THAT'S HOW I WOULD DESCRIBE THAT. 
          AS FAR AS EMPIRICAL MEASURES, UM, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR, UH, A TRADITIONAL STRATEGIC PLAN, NOT A COMMUNITY BASED ONE USUALLY HAS A LOT OF MEASURES AND TIMETABLES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT IS NOT WHAT A COMMUNITY BASED STRATEGIC PLAN IS. 
          UH, CERTAINLY THOSE CAN BE UTILIZED TO CHART PROGRESS. 
          AND WE DID HAVE A SURVEY AS PART OF THIS, UH, YOU KNOW, GA DATA GATHERING EXERCISE. 
          AND MY SUGGESTION IS THAT WE CONTINUE TO SAMPLE, UH, PEOPLE AND SHOW AND UTILIZING BASICALLY THE SAME SURVEY TO SEE THE MIGRATION OF ATTITUDES AND PERCEPTIONS ON THE PART OF OUR CITIZENS AS WE CONTINUE TO IMPLEMENT. 
          WHETHER THIS IS DONE ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, UH, WE DON'T KNOW. 
          RIGHT NOW. 
          I THINK OUR CITIZENS HAVE SURVEY FATIGUE. 
          SO I'D WAIT FOR A WHILE. 
          , WE'VE BEEN, WE HAVE ANOTHER WHOLE CITY STRATEGIC PLANNING EXERCISE GOING ON RIGHT NOW. 
          SO THAT COMBINED WITH BAYTOWN ENGAGE AND ALL THESE OTHER, OTHER THINGS PEOPLE ARE A LITTLE TUCKERED AT RIGHT NOW. 
          WHERE ARE THE SURVEYS BEING PUBLISHED? EXCUSE ME? WHERE ARE THE SURVEYS BEING PUBLISHED? THE CITIZEN SURVEY. 
          SO THEY'LL BE ONLINE ON BAYTOWN.ORG. 
          UM, WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH, UM, OUR, OUR SOFTWARE PROVIDER THAT'S PUTTING TOGETHER THE DASHBOARD. 
          SO EVERYTHING WILL BE IN ONE LOCATION. 
          HOW ABOUT FACEBOOK? I MEAN, RATHER THAN THE  GOING OUT, SEARCHING FOR US SEARCHING FOR IT, WHY DON'T, WHY DON'T THEY REACH OUT TO THE PUBLIC? 'CAUSE NOT EVERYBODY JUST SIGNS INTO BAYTOWN.ORG. 
          YOU KNOW, IF YOU PUT IT ON YOUR, YOU KNOW, YOUR, EVEN THE BAYTOWN SUN, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY STARTS SAYING, HEY, GO TO THIS LINK, TAKE THIS SURVEY. 
          YOU KNOW, I LIKE THE USE. 
          I'M JUST BIG FAN OF QR CODES AND OR YOU CAN PUBLISH IT. 
          OH, WELL, WE HAVE A TELEVISION STATION THAT LITERALLY DOZENS OF PEOPLE WATCH DOZENS. 
          AND WE, WE ALSO HAVE A BIG TOWN SUN, UH, SOCIAL MEDIA. 
          I THINK YOU SUGGESTED FACEBOOK. 
          I, I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA. 
          SO, AS I SAY, I MEAN, I'M ON FACEBOOK. 
          I'VE NEVER SEEN ANY OF IT UNLESS I GO SEARCHING THROUGH A, A CITY WEBSITE. 
          BUT THAT'S NOTHING I DO ON A DAILY BASIS. 
          WE'LL GET, WE, WE'LL GET WITH PUBLIC AFFAIRS AND SEE IF WE CAN COME UP WITH A STRATEGY, BECAUSE I'VE NEVER SEEN ANY OF THESE SURVEYS. 
          OH, THE ONES THAT PARTICIPATE IN, YEAH. 
          MM-HMM . 
          HEY, WAIT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UH, I APPRECIATE YOU HAVING ME. 
          HERE I AM, BRIAN. 
          THANK YOU ALL. 
          THANK YOU. 
          APPRECIATE IT. 
          GOOD COURT. 
          OKAY, NEXT WE HAVE RECEIVE 
          [c.  Receive and discuss an update concerning the mental health decals, pins, and the CORE Program.]
AND DISCUSS AN UPDATE CONCERNING THE MENTAL HEALTH DECALS, PENS AND THE COURT PROGRAM. 
          ALRIGHT, WELL, WE'RE GONNA HAVE LIEUTENANT DORIS. 
          LIEUTENANT DORIS. 
          THAT'S HOW THIS WORKS. 
          THE SAME THING. 
          HE OFF GET RID OF THE TABLE. 
          I'M JUST, I'M GONNA START DOWN THERE WITH A SET OF THEM, GIVE Y'ALL AN IDEA OF WHAT OUR DETAILS, PAMPHLETS AND, UH, THINGS LOOK LIKE. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          KIND OF GIVE Y'ALL QUICK UPDATE ON WHERE WE STARTED, I GUESS KIND OF WHERE WE STARTED FROM YEARS AGO, . 
          SO AS, AS ALL OF Y'ALL ARE EMOTIONAL, 
          [00:45:01]
WE STARTED THIS VENTURE WITH OUR MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. 
          UH, TRYING TO REALLY GET IT, THE ROOTS SET IN THE GROUND AND GET IT MOVING DOWN THE ROAD. 
          UM, WE'VE MADE SOME, SOME PRETTY GOOD STRIDES OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS IN THAT FRONT. 
          UM, THERE'S BEEN A LOT, THERE'S A LOT OF MOVING PARTS TO THIS PROGRAM. 
          UH, ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT WE TRIED TO DO IS, UH, WE WANTED TO, TO GATHER THE PEOPLE TOGETHER THAT WE ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT BEING PART OF THIS TEAM, OUR, OUR CRISIS INTERVENTION TEAM. 
          UH, IT'S MADE UP OF, I NOW HAVE, I THINK THE LAST TIME I TALKED TO Y'ALL, I HAD FIVE. 
          I NOW HAVE SEVEN. 
          UH, SO IT'S GROWING. 
          UM, SEVEN POLICE OFFICERS OR POLICE. 
          YES, MA'AM. 
          YES, MA'AM. 
          YES MA'AM. 
          SEVEN, SEVEN OFFICERS ASSIGNED TO OUR, OUR CRISIS INTERVENTION TEAM, BUT YOU'LL HEAR ME CALL IT CIT. 
          UM, SO WE, WE WORKED ON THAT, GETTING THOSE PEOPLE IN PLACE, MAKING SURE THAT THEY'RE TRAINED OR, OR AT LEAST ON THE PATH TO BEING TRAINED AS MENTAL HEALTH OFFICERS. 
          UM, AND MOST OF THEM ALL, ALL OF 'EM AT LEAST HAVE THE CRISIS INTERVENTION TRAINING. 
          UH, I THINK I HAVE TWO THAT STILL NEED TO GO TO THE MENTAL HEALTH OFFICER TRAINING, BUT THOSE TWO TRAININGS KIND OF, KIND OF CROSS OVER EACH OTHER. 
          SO, UH, I THINK WE'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK THERE. 
          THE OTHER THING WE WANTED TO DO WAS COME UP WITH SOME DECALS AND A FLYER TO PUSH OUT TO SOME OF OUR, UH, MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS IN TOWN. 
          UH, THAT WAS KIND OF A, A LENGTHY PROCESS AS Y'ALL KNOW. 
          Y'ALL, Y'ALL HAD SOME, SOME GREAT INPUT ON THAT. 
          AND WITH Y'ALL'S INPUT, WE CAME UP WITH WHAT I HANDED OUT AT EITHER END OF THE TABLE. 
          UH, THE DECALS AND THE, AND THE FLYERS. 
          YOU'LL NOTICE THERE'S TWO DECALS. 
          ONE IS FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND ONE IS FOR AUTISM. 
          UH, THAT'S THE TWO DIFFERENCES, UH, OF THOSE, THOSE, UH, DECALS AND THOSE DECALS ARE DESIGNED. 
          YOU GET TO PUT 'EM ON YOUR DOOR, YOUR FRONT OF YOUR HOUSE, OR ON THE BUMPER OF YOUR CAR, YOUR BACK, WHATEVER YOU WANNA DO. 
          THEY'RE PRETTY FLEXIBLE THAT WAY. 
          UM, AND THE IDEAL BEHIND THOSE DECALS IS REALLY FOR OUR OFFICERS. 
          SO WHEN THEY GO TO A LOCATION OR THEY SEE A, A VEHICLE GOING ON THE ROAD, THAT'S SOMETHING TO THEM THAT THEY SEE THAT AND THEY RECOGNIZE IT. 
          THEY KNOW WHAT IT IS, THEY KNOW WHAT IT MEANS. 
          SO THAT HELPS THEM BETTER PREPARE FOR WHAT THEY'RE PUTTING TO ENCOUNTER. 
          UH, SO IT TOOK US A FEW MONTHS TO GET THAT LINED OUT AND GET THOSE IN HAND. 
          AND SO NOW WE HAVE THEM, UH, THE FLYER THAT Y'ALL SEE, THAT WAS, AGAIN, WITH Y'ALL'S INPUT. 
          UM, SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GONNA BE WORKING TO GET INTO SOME, SOME, UH, HEALTHCARE PRO, I MEAN SOME MENTAL HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS OFFICES. 
          UM, SERGEANT KROLL AND I, WE HAVE A MEETING ON THURSDAY WITH, UM, KOTA AND THEIR COUNTERPART OF THE MENTAL HEALTH SIDE. 
          UH, UH, THAT'S GONNA HOPEFULLY HELP US FACILITATE THAT. 
          UM, AND THE IDEAL THERE, REACHING OUT TO KODA AND THEIR COUNTERPART, WAS THAT THEY ARE STAKEHOLDERS IN THE MENTAL HEALTH, UH, DILEMMA IN OUR COMMUNITY. 
          UM, SO WE FELT LIKE THAT WOULD BE A GOOD WAY, A GOOD PLATFORM FOR US TO USE TO GET INTO THESE DOCTOR'S OFFICES AND INTO THESE CLINICIANS, UH, BECAUSE THEY'RE ALREADY ENGAGED WITH THEM. 
          UH, SO WE, WE HOPE THAT THAT'S GONNA WORK OUT PRETTY GOOD FOR US. 
          UH, SO WE HAVE THAT MEETING ON THURSDAY, WHICH AGAIN, WE HOPE THAT THAT REALLY KIND OF PROPELS THE, THE, THE FLYER PART OF IT. 
          UM, AND YOU ALSO CAN, HAVE YOU PRINTED A LOT OF THESE, OF THE FLYERS? I THINK WE GOT TWO 50 OR 500. 
          'CAUSE AGAIN, A PHYSICIAN'S SIGNATURE AND A PRINTED NAME, YOU'RE GONNA REALLY WANT THEIR ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER ON THEIR ELSO. 
          'CAUSE IF ANYTHING HAPPENS, YOU NEED TO CONTACT THAT PERSON HAVING THEIR NAME AND IS IT'S GONNA TAKE THAT MUCH LONGER TO LOOK UP THEIR CONTACT INFORMATION. 
          VERY GOOD POINT. 
          SOMETHING WE COULD, AND, AND UNDERSTANDING THAT THESE FLYERS, THERE'S PROBABLY GONNA BE SOME, SOME MORPHING IN 'EM. 
          THEY'RE PROBABLY GONNA CHANGE OVER TIME AS, AS, AS WE ENCOUNTER THESE SITUATIONS. 
          SO THAT'S WHY WE DIDN'T ORDER, YOU KNOW, A THOUSAND OR 15. 
          IT'S NOT TOO AGO. 
          I REQUESTED THAT. 
          YEAH. 
          SO, SO BEFORE WE ORDERED SO MANY, I WAS JUST LIKE, YEAH. 
          SO DEFINITELY SOMETHING WE CAN, AND THAT'S AN EASY FIX. 
          UH, RIGHT, IT IS. 
          THAT'S WHAT IT'S LIKE. 
          YEAH. 
          ON OUR END. 
          SO A GOOD POINT THOUGH, IS THIS, IS THIS, UH, FORM GONNA BE AVAILABLE ELECTRONICALLY ONLINE SO THAT IF WE CAN'T PUT ONE IN THEIR HAND THAT EMAIL IT, EMAIL IT, OR, YOU KNOW, ONE, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT WAS MAYBE, UH, EITHER ADDING IT TO OUR WEBSITE, UM, SO THAT THEY HAVE A PLACE TO GO TO WHERE THEY CAN DOWNLOAD IT AND THEN TAKE IT. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE THE THE REALITY IS, YOU KNOW, THEY MAY BE A BAYTOWN CITIZEN AND, BUT THEIR DR. MAY BE IN HOUSTON AS RIGHT. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND, AND SO THAT'S JUST THE, THE VAST UNKNOWN. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO, UM, SO WE'LL WE WILL DEFINITELY HAVE TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO, TO MAKE THAT ACCESSIBLE TO PEOPLE THAT WON'T NECESSARILY, BECAUSE THIS, THIS IS ANOTHER PART OF, OF WHAT I, AND I SAW YOU LAST NIGHT AND I DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. 
          BUT ONE OF THE THINGS IS IF THAT THING IS FORM FILLABLE ONLINE, AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PRINT IT OR EMAIL IT, THAT WAY IT CAN BE EMAILED TO A MENTAL HEALTH, UH, PHYSICIAN. 
          THAT WAY IT CAN THEN SPEED UP THE PROCESS IF THERE NEEDS TO 
          [00:50:01]
BE AN URGENCY. 
          YES. 
          SO YES. 
          YES. 
          DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. 
          UM, OBVIOUSLY THE ONE THING THAT WE'RE ALWAYS CONCERNED ABOUT WHEN YOU PUT ANYTHING ONLINE WHERE PEOPLE CAN FILL IT OUT AND DO WHAT THEY WANT TO WITH IT, IF THERE'S ANY KIND OF FRAUD THAT GOES ON WITH THAT. 
          UH, SO THERE'S JUST THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO SENSITIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION JUST FOR ALL. 
          EXACTLY. 
          SO, UM, WE HAVE TO PUT OUR HEADS TOGETHER ON THAT AND FIGURE OUT HOW THAT'S GONNA LOOK. 
          YEAH. 
          FROM A BORDERLINE STANDPOINT, WITH THE CORE PROGRAM, THE, THE, THE, UH, THE IPADS ARE CONNECTED TO THE PHYSICIANS, RIGHT? IS CORRECT. 
          AM I CORRECT IN THAT'S, I'LL GET TO THAT. 
          IT'S ALL VIDEO CONFERENCE. 
          IT'S ALL VIDEO CONFERENCE. 
          BUT THEY ARE, THEY ARE DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE, TO THE HEALTH PROVIDERS, RIGHT? CORRECT. 
          THERE'S NO HEALTH INFORMATION ON THE IPAD SPECIFIC. 
          IT JUST A THIN PLANT BACK TO, I THINK THERE'S NO PII, THERE'S NO, THERE'S NOTHING BEING VIOLATED ON THE IPAD ITSELF. 
          RIGHT. 
          I'LL COVER A LITTLE BIT MORE ON THAT HERE. 
          JUST A SECOND. 
          I'M, I'M SORRY. 
          UH, NO, NO, NO WORRIES. 
          NO WORRIES. 
          UH, THE OTHER THING YOU SEE IS THE, THE LAPEL PEN, THE LITTLE GREEN PEN, UH, THAT IS GONNA BE FOR OUR MENTAL HEALTH OFFICERS. 
          THAT'S JUST A WAY FOR, UH, REALLY MORE FOR US TO RECOGNIZE THAT THAT PERSON'S A MENTAL HEALTH OFFICER. 
          THE AVERAGE CITIZEN'S PROBABLY NOT GONNA KNOW WHAT THAT PEN MEANS. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY IT WILL SPARK SOME CONVERSATION WITH THE COMMUNITY WHEN THEY SEE IT. 
          HEY, WHAT IS THAT? UM, SO WE CAN KIND OF EDUCATE, YOU KNOW, TAKE THAT OPPORTUNITY, EDUCATE PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT IT'S, I JUMP IN ON THAT. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          I THINK WHAT YOU'RE GONNA SEE THOUGH IS ONCE PEOPLE RECORD, RECOGNIZE WHAT THAT MEANS. 
          THE IT OFFICERS GO OUT ON A, A RESPONSE, THEN YOU HAVE A PERSON IN CRISIS THAT'S GONNA BE THE PERSON THAT THE CONSUMER IS GOING TO GRAVITATE TOWARDS. 
          IT'S GONNA BECOME ACCEPTED THAT THIS IS THE, THE PERSON THAT I TALK TO. 
          NOT ONLY THAT, I THINK WHAT WE'LL SEE TOO IS THIS IS MY CIT OFFICER. 
          THIS IS THE ONE THAT TALK TO, UM, HE PROBABLY, I WOULD SUSPECT EVEN GET TO THE POINT WHERE WHEN SOMEBODY'S IN CRISIS OR FAMILY MEMBER'S IN CRISIS, UM, THEY'RE GONNA BE CALLING AND SAYING, HEY, CAN I SPEAK TO SERGEANT KRA? HE'S MY, HE, HE'S MY CIT OFFICER. 
          I WANNA TALK TO HIM. 
          AND YOU, IF HE'S AVAILABLE, CERTAINLY FACILITATE. 
          BUT WE SAW A LOT OF SUCCESS IN OUR CT PROGRAM, AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. 
          THEY RECOGNIZED THE PINS THAT THE OFFICERS WERE, AND THAT'S WHO THEY WANTED TO TALK TO. 
          RIGHT? RIGHT. 
          AND SO ON, ON THAT FRONT, WHEN SAY, EDUCATING OUR PUBLIC, UM, AGAIN, AGAIN, INITIALLY THE AVERAGE PERSON'S NOT GONNA KNOW WHAT PEN MEANS, BUT FOR US TO EDUCATE THEM, THEN PEOPLE START TO RECOGNIZE THAT. 
          THEY START TO REALIZE WHAT IT IS. 
          AND, AND, AND ME AND SERGEANT CROW SHOW UP AND HE'S GOT A GREEN PEN ON HIS SHIRT, THEN THAT MENTAL HEALTH CONSUMER MAY BE MORE WILLING TO TALK TO HIM THAN ME BECAUSE THEY RECOGNIZE IT. 
          OR THE FAMILY MEMBER MAY BE WILLING TO TALK TO HIM MORE THAN ME BECAUSE THEY RECOGNIZE WHAT THE, SO THERE'S A PROCESS OF EDUCATING OUR PUBLIC THAT GOES ALONG WITH IT. 
          AND, AND OBVIOUSLY WE CAN, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GONNA TAKE STRIDES TO DO THAT WHEN SOCIAL MEDIA THROUGH THE NEWSPAPER OR WHATEVER THAT MAY BE. 
          BUT, UH, OFTENTIMES WORD OF MOUTH IS THE BEST ADVERTISEMENT. 
          SO, UH, THAT'S GONNA BE THE EDUCATING THE PUBLIC PIECE FOR US. 
          BOOTS ON THE GROUND. 
          UH, I DIDN'T MEAN TO STEAL YOUR THING BEFORE I JUMPED. 
          YOU'RE GOOD, CHIEF. 
          YOU'RE GOOD. 
          YOU'RE GOOD. 
          UM, SO THAT, THAT'S WHAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU. 
          UM, AND SO WHERE WE ARE NOW, BEFORE I GET TO THE CORE PROGRAM PIECE OF IT AS, AS A MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, WE STARTED THIS VENTURE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO TRYING TO GET THIS THING SOME TRACTION, GET ON THE GROUND. 
          THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF WORK DONE ON THE BACK, BACK END OF IT. 
          UH, COMING UP WITH, UH, SOPS, COMING UP WITH WAYS FOR US TO TRACK STUFF TOOK WAY FOR US TO DISPATCH STUFF A LOT, A LOT OF BACK OFFICE WORK, A LOT MORE THAN I THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE FOR SURE. 
          UM, I SAY ALL THAT TO SAY THIS, TOMORROW WE HAVE A MEETING WITH OUR MENTAL HEALTH TEAM WHERE WE'RE GONNA LAY OUT WHAT OUR SOPS ARE, UH, GET EVERYBODY ON THE SAME TRACK ON WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING, HOW THIS IS GONNA LOOK IN REAL TIME. 
          AND WE WILL BE ROLLING THIS OUT. 
          UH, SO YOU WILL START TO SEE OUR GUYS ON THE STREET. 
          UH, THE WAY THAT WE'LL HANDLE MENTAL HEALTH CALLS MAY BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. 
          WELL, NOT, MAYBE THEY WILL BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE'RE CURRENTLY DOING. 
          UM, UH, OUR MENTAL HEALTH OFFICERS ARE GONNA BE TASKED WITH, UH, RESPONDING TO THOSE CALLS THAT, THAT INVOLVE FOLKS IN MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS SO THEY CAN HELP MITIGATE SOME OF THOSE ISSUES. 
          UM, OUR PRIMARY GOAL IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CONSUMER GETS THE HELP THAT THEY NEED, THE RESOURCES THAT THEY NEED AND OR THEIR FAMILY GETS THE HELP AND THE RESOURCES THAT THEY NEED. 
          'CAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT EXTENSIVELY IN OUR MEETINGS THAT WE'VE HAD OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS WITH OUR TEAM IS, YOU KNOW, WE, OUR OFFICERS GO TO THESE CALLS AND THEY'RE TRYING TO SOLVE AN IMMEDIATE PROBLEM, RIGHT? WE UNDERSTAND THAT, AND WE RECOGNIZE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE DEALING WITH THESE MENTAL HEALTH CONSUMERS FOR 15 MINUTES. 
          A LOT OF THESE FAMILIES HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH IT FOR 15 TO 20 YEARS. 
          AND SO WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT AND RECOGNIZE AND APPRECIATE THAT. 
          [00:55:01]
AND SO THAT'S WHY GETTING THE FAMILIES INVOLVED INTO THIS PROCESS IS GONNA BE VITALLY IMPORTANT TO THE SUCCESS, UH, PROGRAM. 
          SO, UM, THAT'S WHERE WE ARE WITH THAT. 
          SO EFFECTIVELY TOMORROW EVENING, WE WILL BE ROLLING OUT OUR, OUR MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM. 
          WE'LL START SEEING THESE FOLKS ON THE STREET DOING REAL TIME WORK, UM, IN, IN A, IN AN ORGANIZED WAY AS FAR AS THE CORE PROGRAM GOES. 
          UH, THAT HAS BEEN ANOTHER LENGTHY PROCESS. 
          JURIS, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HELP ON THAT. 
          , IT CAUSED ME TO PULL ON MY HAIR OUT. 
          UM, BUT WE FINALLY GOT THAT, THAT THE MOU AND EVERYTHING DONE SIGNED OFF ON EVERYBODY'S ON BOARD. 
          I'VE BEEN IN, IN COMMUNICATION WITH THE, UH, THE FOLKS AT HARRIS COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT. 
          UM, AS YOU KNOW, THEY ARE KIND OF THE, THE, THE TIP OF THE SPEAR FOR THE CORE PROGRAM, UH, AS FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY PERSPECTIVE. 
          SO THEY HAVE OUR TABLETS, THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING THEM PROGRAMMED AND UP AND RUNNING AND READY TO GO FOR OUR OFFICERS. 
          WE GOT 20 TABLETS COMING. 
          UH, IT'S EITHER THE EIGHTH OR THE NINTH. 
          WE'RE STILL TRYING TO WORK OUT THE LOGISTICS OF THE DATE THEY WILL BE IN TOWN, GIVING US THE IPADS AND PROVIDING ALL THE TRAINING FOR ALL THAT THEY'RE GONNA BE ISSUED TO. 
          UM, AND THEN AFTER THAT, THOSE WILL BE AVAILABLE. 
          AND AGAIN, WE HAVE 20 OF THOSE TABLETS COMING. 
          UM, AND KIND OF THE WAY THAT WE DECIDED TO, TO, UH, DISTRIBUTE THOSE OUT, OBVIOUSLY ALL OF OUR CRISIS INTERVENTION TEAM MEMBERS ARE GONNA BE ASSIGNED ONE. 
          UM, BEYOND THAT, OUR, OUR HOSPICE NEGOTIATION TEAM, UH, COMMANDER, HE WILL HAVE ONE, UH, FOR THOSE TIMES WHEN WE'RE ON THOSE KINDS OF SCENES, YOU KNOW, SO HE'LL BE ABLE TO, TO UTILIZE THAT. 
          BUT BEYOND THAT, WHAT WE DID WAS WE, WE TOOK THOSE AND ASSIGNED THEM TO ALL OF OUR FIELD TRAINING INSTRUCTORS, UH, THE REMAINING ONES ANYWAY, TO OUR FIELD TRAINING INSTRUCTORS. 
          UH, THE THOUGHT PROCESS BEHIND THAT IS OUR FIELD TRAINING INSTRUCTORS ARE THE ONES THAT ARE TRAINING OUR NEW OFFICERS. 
          AND SO WE WANT THEM TO HAVE THIS TOOL IN THEIR TOOL BELT SO THEY CAN THEN EXPOSE THE NEW OFFICERS TO IT. 
          UM, AND AND PART OF THE REASONING FOR THAT IS, IS, IS TWOFOLD. 
          UM, ONE BEING WE WANT THEM EXPOSED TO IT. 
          WE WANT THEM TO KNOW THAT THIS TOOL BELT, THIS, THIS TOOL IS THERE FOR THEM TO USE IF THE OPPORTUNITY PRESENTS ITSELF. 
          UM, BUT PERHAPS MORE IMPORTANTLY THAN THAT, YOU KNOW, I THINK THE CHIEF MENTIONED IT A WHILE AGO. 
          THIS, YOU KNOW, IT'S A MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM. 
          IT'S NOT JUST A PROGRAM. 
          OKAY? THIS IS THE, THE, THE PATH THAT WE'RE GOING DOWN, UM, TO PROVIDE A SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY. 
          AND IT'S A VERY, VERY IMPORTANT FOR US TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO INGRAIN THIS INTO OUR DNA TO MAKE THIS PART OF OUR CULTURE AND WHAT WE DO. 
          IT'S JUST A NORMAL WAY OF DOING BUSINESS FOR THE VETERAN POLICE DEPART. 
          AND SO WITH THAT, WE THOUGHT IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO PUT THOSE IN THE HANDS OF THESE FIELD TRAINING INSTRUCTORS. 
          UM, 'CAUSE ONE OF THE, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE TELL OUR FIELD TRAINING INSTRUCTORS IS YOU DON'T STOP TRAINING JUST BECAUSE YOUR TRAINEES OUTTA YOUR CAR. 
          RIGHT? YOU'RE ALWAYS THERE FOR THE TRAINEE. 
          AND SO HOPEFULLY THAT, THAT WILL THEN SERVE A COUPLE OF PURPOSES, BACKFILL PEOPLE WHEN THEY MOVE ON TO OTHER THINGS. 
          BUT ALSO, LIKE I SAID, MORE IMPORTANTLY, GET THAT INGRAINED INTO OUR DNA, UH, FROM THE GROUND LEVEL. 
          AND NOW THAT'S GOING TO BE A, A PROCESS IN TIME, RIGHT? WHERE WE GET EVERYBODY, UH, FEEL COMFORTABLE BEING FORWARD TO. 
          SO HOPEFULLY EIGHTH OR THE NINTH, THAT'S WHEN THAT TRAINING IS GONNA HAPPEN. 
          AND, AND PAST THAT, WE WILL HAVE THOSE IN THE FIELD AND IMPLEMENTED. 
          AND WHAT WE DID WITH, UH, WITH THE WAY THAT WE KIND OF SPARSED THEM OUT IS TRIED TO MAKE IT SO THAT WE HAVE COVER, WE HAVE A TABLET, WE HAVE A POOR MEMBER OF, UH, SOMEBODY WITH A POOR TABLET ON THE STREETS, PRETTY MUCH 24 7. 
          SO IT'S ALWAYS AVAILABLE. 
          UM, NOW THAT, AND I HAVE ONE QUESTION. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          CHAMBERS COUNTY RELATES TO THE USE OF TABLET AT CHAMBERS COUNTY LIMITED R BEHIND IT. 
          YES. 
          HAVE WE DECIDED HOW THAT'S GONNA BE OPERATE? YES. 
          THE CORE PROGRAM DOES NOT, IT DOES NOT APPLY TO CHAMBERS COUNTY. 
          CORRECT. 
          UH, SO FROM THE CHAMBERS COUNTY SIDE OF IT, WE WILL HANDLE, JUST TAKE THE CORE PIECE OF IT AWAY. 
          EVERYTHING ELSE WE WILL, OR NO HEALTH OFFICERS WILL DO THE SAME STUFF. 
          BUT WE'LL JUST TAKE AWAY THE, THE CORE PROGRAM PIECE BECAUSE THAT THIS IS A HARRIS COUNTY OR HARRIS HEALTH THING. 
          SO IN, IN HOPES OF IN THE FUTURE THAT CHAMBERS COUNTY AND OTHER COUNTIES CAN SEE THE BENEFITS OF THIS IS EXPRESSING AND SHOWING TO THEM THE BENEFITS THAT WE'VE SEEN THROUGH HARRIS HEALTH. 
          SO WE, WE WANT TO EXPAND IT IN CHAMBERS COUNTY. 
          THERE'S GONNA HAVE DIFFICULTY 'CAUSE OF BUDGET, BUT IT IS JUST HARRIS HEALTH, THAT THEOREM OF EXACTLY BASIS. 
          NOW, I, I WILL TELL, SHARE THIS WITH YOU. 
          I, I JUST FOUND THIS OUT, UH, A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO. 
          UH, WHEN TALKING TO SERGEANT GOMEZ, WHO IS HARRIS COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT'S, UH, SERGEANT OVER THERE, MENTAL HEALTH COURT PROGRAM, WE ARE THE FIRST MUNICIPALITY TO GET ON 
          [01:00:01]
BOARD WITH THE CORE PROGRAM. 
          ALL THE OTHER AGENCIES THAT ARE INVOLVED IN IT, UM, ARE COUNTY AGENCIES. 
          UH, HPD IS ON THE GROUND LEVEL OF IMPLEMENT IT. 
          SO, UM, SO THAT'S SOMETHING FOR ALL OF US TO TAKE A LOT OF STOCK AND PROUD OF. 
          WE ARE DEFINITELY GOING IN THE RIGHT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANY QUESTIONS? JUST TO HIS QUESTION, I GUESS, DO Y'ALL HAVE ANY INDICATION AT ALL, EVEN IN THE INFANCY THAT CHAMBERS COUNTY AND HARRIS COUNTY ARE DOING ANY TALKING? SO IT'S A HARRIS COUNTY PROGRAM, BUT GIVEN PROXIMITY, ANY INDICATION THAT CHAMBERS COUNTY OKAY. 
          TOO EARLY? I THINK ONCE IT GAINS LEGS AND ONCE MORE PEOPLE GET ON IT, IT'LL CERTAINLY BE SOMETHING THAT'LL BE ON THEIR RADAR, I SUSPECT ANYTHING. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ON, ON THE PERSONAL NOTE, I WANT TO SAY JUST THANK YOU TO THIS COMMITTEE. 
          UM, DR. 
          STANSKI AND I STARTED THIS JOURNEY EARLIER THAN YOU GUYS STARTED IT. 
          AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT WAY BACK WHEN, WHEN WE WERE TO CA, WE TALKED ABOUT COMING UP WITH DECALS TO IDENTIFY INDIVIDUALS WITH MENTAL HEALTH. 
          AND THAT WAS A CONVERSATION WE HAD THREE, FOUR YEARS AGO, THREE YEARS AGO. 
          AND TO SEE IT COME TO FRUITION, I MEAN, I'M DOING THE BEST NOT TO, YOU KNOW, SHED A TEAR RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THIS ALL STARTED WITH SOMEONE BEING, UH, KILLED. 
          UM, WE HAD MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, UM, AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT IS IF WE HAD SOME TYPE OF DECAL THAT WOULD HELP OUR CITIZENS AS WELL AS OUR PD. 
          UM, AND WE STARTED THAT CONVERSATION WAY BACK THEN. 
          AND TO SEE IT, TO SEE IT COME TO FRUITION, UH, IT'S JUST THE, THE MINISTER IN ME SAYING AGAIN, GOD IS FAITHFUL. 
          AND IF YOU, YOU KNOW, WORK TOGETHER AND YOU PUT YOUR HEADS TOGETHER AND KNOW THAT IT'S A JOURNEY, IT'S A, IT'S A MARATHON, NOT A SPRINT. 
          THAT THINGS CAN, THINGS CAN BE DONE. 
          AND TO SAY THIS ABOUT BAYTOWN, I MEAN, REALLY WE HAVE A DECAL THAT CAN IDENTIFY SOMEBODY WHO HAS A MENTAL HEALTH ISSUE. 
          NOW, OFFICERS, NOW WE HAVE OUR, UH, CRISIS INTERVENTION TEAM. 
          SO WE GO INTO THAT, LOOKING AT IT FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE. 
          THAT IS, TO ME, IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT WE JUST DON'T NEED TO TAKE FOR GRANTED BECAUSE THIS IS A BIG DEAL. 
          WELL, AND IT'S AN OPTION. 
          SO TO THE NAYSAYERS OUT THERE, WE TALK IN TERMS OF NOT EVERYBODY WOULD MAY WANT TO BE STIGMATIZED OR USE THAT AGAIN, MAYBE NOT EVERYBODY, IT'S THEIR CHOICE. 
          EXACTLY. 
          BUT YOU'VE GIVEN PEOPLE THAT WANT THAT IDENTIFICATION. 
          EXACTLY. 
          EXACTLY. 
          GIVE THEM AN OPTION AND IT'S GONNA HELP THEM AS WELL AS OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT. 
          AND THAT SHOWS US DOING WHAT, WORKING TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY. 
          AND THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT. 
          THAT GOES BACK TO YOUR CELEBRATE WINS. 
          THAT'S THE CELEBRATE WIN IN CHIEF. 
          EXACTLY. 
          UM, AND, AND NOT ONLY I'M GONNA BE THERE TO TAKE THE PICTURE ON THAT DAY IN THE BAYTOWN SUN , AND, AND I'LL JUST KIND OF THROW THIS OUT BEFORE, BEFORE YOU GUYS MOVE ON. 
          UM, AND, AND I'LL TALK TO, UH, MR. DORIS ABOUT IT. 
          UH, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IN THE FUTURE AND KIND OF DOVETAILS INTO THE, UH, STRATEGIC PLAN HERE IS WE WOULD LIKE US TO SEE A MENTAL HEALTH COALITION ESTABLISHED WHERE WE HAVE  EVERY OTHER WITH OUR RESOURCES AND OUR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICE PROVIDERS AND PARTNERS, UH, IN THE AREA PUT OUR RESOURCES TOGETHER, UH, IN LOCATION. 
          WE DISCUSS WHAT WE EFFECTS THAT WE HAVE, HOW WE CAN NETWORK. 
          AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE NEED OUR TO REALLY UNDERSTAND IS, WELL, YES, WE HAVE MENTAL HEALTH OFFICERS, WE HAVE CRISIS IN OFFICERS. 
          POLICE OFFICERS ARE NOT MENTAL HEALTH, BUT THEY ARE THERE TO DEESCALATE THE SITUATION TO HOPEFULLY REDUCE THE INCIDENTS OF VIOLENCE. 
          'CAUSE WE KNOW WE'RE NOT GONNA ELIMINATE THE, EVERYBODY HAS TO BE SAFE AND THE OFFICERS. 
          BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY DEFINITELY ARE ME, UH, CHIEF HOLDEN SARGE, LIEUTENANT OR OFFICER ON THE STREET, IS WE ARE, UH, UH, CONDUITS OF INFORMATION RESOURCES TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE ARE, AND THAT'S 
          [01:05:01]
WHAT WE'VE SEEN ACROSS THE NATION WITH THE HEALTH CRISIS. 
          WE ARE THE FIRST RESPONDERS, WE, THE ONES OUT THERE RESPONDING TO THESE CALLS BECAUSE THEY VERY OFTEN DO NOT COME OUT AS SOMEBODY WHO'S IN A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS. 
          IT'S DISORDERLY CONDUCT. 
          IT'S, UH, A CALL OF VIOLENCE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          THIS REASON, IT'S SO IMPORTANT, US GUYS, YOU TRYING TO RECOGNIZE THESE FORCEFUL THINGS. 
          HOWEVER, WE ARE NOT LIEUTENANT, WE'RE NOT LONG-TERM CARE PROVIDERS. 
          SO WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO CONNECT APPROPRIATE RESOURCE SO THAT WE REDUCE THE RECIDIVISM FOR EACH PERSON THAT RESPOND. 
          AND WE CAN DO THAT. 
          THEN I THINK THERE'S SOME OTHER THINGS THAT, UH, GET THAT UNIFIED KNOW IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA BE DONE, GET IT FLESHED OUT AND ORGANIZED WHEN YOU START SEEING RURAL MOVEMENT AT MOST LOCAL LEVEL AND STATE LEVEL. 
          ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE, I EXPERIENCED WAS WE WERE ABLE TO, IN OUR GOVERNOR MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS TRANSFER CENTER, WHERE OFFICERS ENCOUNTERED SOMEONE WITH A SEVERE MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THEY NEEDED TO GO LOCALLY AND WAS DETERMINED FIVE, 10 MINUTES MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL AND A HEALTH PROFESSIONAL. 
          WELL, IF I CAN TAKE WHAT CHIEF STRINGER JUST SAID, YOU KNOW, I'M LOOKING AT OUR, OUR BUCKETS OF CONCERN. 
          I'M GONNA JUST JUMP DOWN TO F JUST FOR A SECOND. 
          WE'LL GO BACK. 
          BUT THAT MAY BE SOMETHING THAT WE CAN PUT AS A TASK OR, OR SOMETHING TO REVIEW IN OUR UPCOMING MEETINGS. 
          IT'S STILL GONNA BE UNDER OUR MENTAL HEALTH BUCKET, BUT HOW, HOW DO WE FACILITATE? IT'S KIND OF A VISION RIGHT NOW. 
          YEAH, EXACTLY. 
          HOW DO WE DEFINITELY THAT, THAT I THINK THAT'S A TASK THAT, THAT THIS COMMITTEE CAN AT LEAST, AT LEAST HAVE THERE ON THE BOARD AND, AND FORMULATE IT. 
          GO. 
          IT IS DEFINITELY A LOAN. 
          AND I, I AGREE. 
          I AGREE. 
          SO, YES, SIR. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          JUST SO IN TALKING ABOUT OUR MEETING THURSDAY, THAT IS IN FACT PART OF WHAT OUR MEETING IS GONNA BE ABOUT, UH, ABOUT CREATING A COALITION OF STUDENTS, UH, LIKE THE CHIEF WAS DESCRIBED, UH, THE, THE FOLKS THAT WE'RE HAVING THE MEETING WITH. 
          THAT'S, THAT'S KIND OF WHAT THEY NEED. 
          UM, SO THAT'S, THAT'S THE OTHER IMPORTANT PIECE TO THAT MEETING. 
          UM, BECAUSE AGAIN, THIS IS, OUR MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM AS IT STANDS TODAY, IS GOING MOURN, UH, OVER THE YEARS RIGHT. 
          INTO SOMETHING BIGGER AND BETTER AND MORE ROBUST. 
          UM, RIGHT NOW WE'RE WORKING ON THE FOUNDATION, RIGHT? SO WE WANNA BUILD A VERY BIG HOUSE, UH, FOR  AND, AND BRING ALL OF THOSE RESOURCES TOGETHER. 
          BRINGING ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS TOGETHER, UH, PEOPLE, WHAT YOU CALL WATER, PUTTING HEADS TOGETHER, BRAIN BRAINS. 
          UM, I, I THINK THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR THESE TYPES OF, UH, DEALS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S, UH, WE, WE ENCOUNTER PROBLEMS ON THE STREET. 
          UM, WE DON'T HAVE SOLUTIONS FOR THAT. 
          AND SO GETTING STAKEHOLDERS INVOLVED, BRINGING ALL TOGETHER TO, TO THE ABLE TO YEAH. 
          TALK ABOUT THOSE THINGS HELPS US. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          THANK YOU LIEUTENANT DORIS. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH.

          AND UM, THAT PLACE WAS ONE SECOND.

          GOOD JOB, KAREN.

          THANK YOU, KAREN. 
          I LEARNED SOMETHING NEW TONIGHT.

          UM, SO YEAH, THAT WAS, IT WAS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO INTERACT WITH, UH, WITH OUR CITIZENS AND UM, UH, JUST TO BE ABLE TO, TO ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS AND GET TO KNOW SOME FOLKS.

          HOW MANY DID WE HAVE FOR THE TREATS ON THE TRAIL? DO YOU REMEMBER? THOUSANDS. 
          YOU KNOW, SO 500, 3000, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          YEAH, THEY WERE ACTUALLY PUSHING FOUR AND YOU KNOW, THAT'S SUCH A POPULAR EVENT. 
          THAT'S ONLY THE THIRD YEAR OF THE EVENT. 
          SO IT STARTED AT JENKINS PARK AND IT RAINED THE NIGHT WE FIRST DID IT, THEY HAD TO REALLY QUICK MOVE THE TRAIL AROUND. 
          SO LAST YEAR THEY WENT OUT TO OUT THERE BY WAYNE GRAY SPORTS COMPLEX. 
          'CAUSE IT'S REAL NICE TO BE ABLE TO PARK ON THE PIRATES BAY SIDE. 
          AND YOU HAVE THE OTHER SIDE AS WELL, BUT THEN YOU WALK THROUGH. 
          BUT WITHIN AN HOUR OF THE EVENT, THEY WERE AT A STANDSTILL BECAUSE THERE WAS A LOT OF ACTIVITY AT SOME OF THE VARIOUS, THEY WERE MAKING S'MORES AT ONE OF 'EM. 
          AND, AND SCOOBY DOO AND THE WHOLE GANG WAS OVER THERE DOING ALL THAT AT, SO PEOPLE BACKED UP. 
          BUT THERE WAS SO MUCH FOR PEOPLE TO DO OUT THERE THAT, AND THAT ACTUALLY WORKED WELL FOR US. 
          AND I'M SURE IT WORKED WELL FOR THE, UH, UH, UH, POLICE ASSOCIATION AS WELL, BECAUSE YOU COULD TALK WHILE THE, WELL, WE GOT TO TALK TO 'EM AND ALL THE KIDS, ESPECIALLY THE ONES WHO WERE DRESSED LIKE POLICE OFFICERS, THEY WANTED TO COME OVER IN FRONT OF THE BAYTOWN POLICE DEPARTMENT AND TAKE A PICTURE WITH US.

          UH, AND THEN WE HAVE 
          [01:15:01]
BLUE SANTA COMING UP IN, IN DECEMBER. 
          THEY'RE ALREADY PUTTING ALL THAT TOGETHER, UM, TO BE OUT THERE. 
          UM, AND I GOTTA TELL YOU, THAT'LL BE SOMETHING THAT MY FAMILY GETS THROUGH. 
          CAN I PUT A REQUEST IN ON THAT? CAN, CAN Y'ALL NOTIFY THIS COMMITTEE WHEN, WHEN THAT BLUE SANTA BEHIND THE SCENES STUFF COMES ALONG? I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          'CAUSE SO BASICALLY THEY'LL DO THE WRAP THAT'LL BE COMING UP BASICALLY AFTER THANKSGIVING. 
          JUST HAVE TO GET THE EXACT WRAP. 
          I, AND THEN AFTER THE WRAP, IT'S USUALLY WEEK, TWO WEEKS AFTER I'M SICK. 
          SO WHO, SO THE EASY WAY, EASIEST WAY TO DO THAT IS SEND WHATEVER ROOM INFO YOU GOT, ANGIE AND ANGIE CAN PUT IT OUT TO THE WHOLE COMMITTEE. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          I'LL HAVE SO, UH, CORPORAL NATHAN GALLUP COORDINATES IT AT OUR DEPARTMENT, YOUR HONOR. 
          IT'S A 5 0 1 C3. 
          HE'S PRESIDENT, CHAIR, WHATEVER. 
          AND I'LL HAVE HIM SEND THE INFORMATION TO YOU AND THEN WE CAN SEND IT OUT TO LOCAL. 
          THAT'D BE AWESOME. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THE PD INVOLVED IN THE CHRISTMAS PARADE AS PARTICIPANTS PROVIDE SECURITY OR ALL OF THE ABOVE SECURITY PLANNING SECURITY THERE. 
          SO, UM, AND THEN THE, SOME POLICE ACADEMY, UH, PROBABLY ON THURSDAY. 
          AND UH, THEY GRADUATIONS ARE KIND SOME OF THE THINGS IS THERE AT ALL, AT ALL. 
          THE ELEMENTARIES IS IN, UH, EIGHT OR NINE AT ELEMENTARY, EIGHT OR NINE. 
          IS THERE A REASON WHY IT'S NOT AT ALL. 
          IT BASICALLY, WHICHEVER ELEMENTARY E GOES ALONG, IT SAYS THAT THEY WANNA INCORPORATE THAT. 
          YOU SAY THAT BECAUSE I CAN GIVE YOU THE NAMES OF ALL THE SCHOOLS THAT ARE PARTICIPATING IN. 
          RIGHT. 
          WOULDN'T THAT BE SOMETHING THAT WE COULD APPROACH THE SCHOOL? WE HAVE, SO HIGHLANDS ELEMENTARY, DAVE, JAMES, BOWIE, ASHEVILLE SMITH, PARKER THE OFFICER. 
          BUT I THINK THE WAY ERIC FREE TO PUT THIS OUT, WHEN YOU SAY THAT, I THINK THAT'S WHAT THEY TEACH THIS SEMESTER. 
          THEY GO TO ANOTHER SCHOOL, THEY GO TO THE YEAH, THAT'S TRUE. 
          THEY GONNA SAY THAT. 
          SO THEY ROTATE. 
          SO I THINK THAT THEY DO TRY TO TRY TO GET ALL OF THEM, ONE OF THEM. 
          THAT MAKES SENSE. 
          BUT THEN THEY DO IT IN SEMESTERS. 
          I WAS WONDERING IF WE WERE STILL DOING DARE WITH THE PD, CONSIDERING THAT GOOSE CREEK HAS A GOOSE CREEK CREEK DOES NOT HAVE A DARE UNIT. 
          THEY DON'T HAVE A DARE UNIT. 
          THEY PIECE DARE. 
          OKAY. 
          GOOSE CREEK BASICALLY UTILIZES OUR SERVICES. 
          MM-HMM . 
          AND, UH, PAYS US TO IN THERE. 
          OKAY. 
          TEACH THERE. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT WAS ONE OF THE ENGAGEMENTS WHERE WE SAID WE WANTED THE KEY, EVEN WHEN CREEK TOOK OVER. 
          POLICE DEPARTMENT, YOU KNOW, IN, IN ADDITION TO THIS, WE DON'T HAVE IT LISTED, BUT, UH, UH, SARGE AND HIS GROUP ON A REGULAR BASIS, GET OUT IN THE COMMUNITY, GET OUTTA THEIR VEHICLES, ENGAGE, UH, ENGAGE KIDS IN THE PARK, UM, ENGAGE FOLKS IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          UH, MATTER OF FACT, THINGS THAT YOU MOST RECENTLY DID, IT'S, UH, ACROSS SOME KIDS PLAYING BASKETBALL AND, UH, WE DID IN CENTRAL. 
          YEAH. 
          SO THEY HAD A, THEY HAD A, A BASKETBALL GOAL THAT WAS FALLING APART. 
          SO THEY GOT TOGETHER AND UH, GOT 'EM A BASKETBALL GOAL DELIVERED LAST WEEKEND OR WEEK OF LAST. 
          SO THEY GOT IT OUT THERE, THEY GOT IT SET UP FOR, AND UH, GAVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO INTERACT WITH SOME, WITH SOME OF OUR YOUTH THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE BEST OPINION FOR WHATEVER REASON. 
          AND, BUT IT'S, WE'RE FIGHTING, UH, WE'RE FIGHTING, UH, UH, SOCIAL MEDIA POST ABOUT POLICE OFFICERS AND, AND NEGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUT POLICE OFFICERS. 
          SO WE'RE HAVING TO GET OUT THERE AND DO IT FACE TO FACE AS OPPOSED TO JUST DOING SOCIAL MEDIA. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR THAT BY THE WAY. 
          YEAH. 
          THANK YOU. 
          Y'ALL GOT SOME POSITIVE FEEDBACK ON THAT ALREADY. 
          ON SOCIAL MEDIA. 
          I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS TOO, DAD WITH CHIEF, WE, WE HAVE A CIVILIAN PERSON THAT WAS APPROVED IN OUR BUDGET THIS YEAR FOR PUBLIC INFORMATION COORDINATOR FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. 
          AND THAT PERSON WILL BASICALLY DO PUBLIC INFORMATION, YOU KNOW YEAH. 
          RELEASES AND STUFF LIKE THAT. 
          BUT SOCIAL MEDIA IS THE BIG CONTENT OF THAT. 
          SO THEY'RE GOING TO DOING DAILY 
          [01:20:01]
MONITORING, SOCIAL MEDIA, PUTTING OUT THAT INFORMATION. 
          IT'S THERE. 
          SO IF THERE ARE STORIES OUT THERE AND PEOPLE DON'T HAVE ALL THE FACTS, BUT THEY SEE SOMETHING THAT WE CAN PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION TO THEM PLUS LIKE MAJOR ROAD CLOSURES OR, SO WE HAVE AN ACCIDENT WHEN I ATTEND IT ALL OF A SUDDEN SHUT DOWN GET PERSON LIKE THAT, WE CAN NOTIFY, PUT IT OUT ON ALL SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS OUT THERE, MOTOR FOLKS TO BE AWARE OF THAT AREA HERE SITUATION. 
          SURE. 
          WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, AN ACTIVE SHOOTER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          WE CAN PUT THAT OUT TO THE PUBLIC THROUGH THAT. 
          BUT THIS WILL BE A CIVILIAN PERSON. 
          IS IT CITY OR DO HAVE ANYBODY THAT HAS SOCIAL MEDIA MONITORING FOR TRAINING ON KEYWORDS FOR INCIDENT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO AND SO DOES PERSON'S GONNA DO THAT TRENDING AND ALSO LOOK AT THE DATA REACHING PERSON, SIR, THAT'S A PDD PERSON. 
          WELL, RIGHT NOW WE, WE'VE JUST HAD OFFICERS THAT BE GOING, I'M DOING THIS SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM ON THIS ONE AND WE'VE ALWAYS HAD A PUBLIC PIO OFFICER. 
          BUT THIS HAS BASICALLY TAKEN ALL THIS INTO ONE POSITION AND THAT'S WHERE IT'S GONNA TRANSITION INTO THAT. 
          SO WE KNOW WHAT INFORMATION. 
          IT'S ALL, FOR INSTANCE, LIKE OUR TWITTER ACCOUNT HADN'T BEEN ACTIVE SINCE 2019. 
          YOU KNOW, THOSE ARE THINGS THAT HAVE GOT, AND WHAT HAPPEN IS TWITTER WILL TAKE DOWN, LET US DO IT, UPDATE IT. 
          WE HAVE TO FIND OUT WHO THAT ACCOUNT HOLDER WAS AND CREATED. 
          YEAH. 
          THAT'S ALWAYS SO WE'RE, WE'RE FINISHING ALL THAT, GETTING THE BRANDING BACK IN AND THAT'S GONNA BE THE JOB AND FUNCTION OF THIS IS A CIVILIAN DESK. 
          YES. 
          CONSISTENCY OF YOUR MESSAGE TOO, SO THAT YOU DON'T HAVE MULTIPLE FORMS WITH A LITTLE BIT OF DIFFERENT INFORMATION GOING OUT. 
          AND THEN THAT'S HOW ROOM START. 
          SO INFORMATION STARTS. 
          SO THIS WILL ALL START FROM, SO I HAVE QUESTION. 
          QUESTION. 
          YES. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, OFFICER TRAINING. 
          THANK YOU FOR SENDING ME THE CULTURAL DIVERSITY THING. 
          I PRINTED OUT AND I'VE LOOKED OVER, I NOTICED THAT IT'S, UM, AND I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DIVE INTO IT OTHERWISE IT'D HAVE STICKY NOTES AND LIKE EVERYTHING HERE. 
          UM, JUST BECAUSE THAT REALLY SURPRISES YOU. 
           DOES. 
          I KNOW. 
          SURPRISE. 
          THAT SURPRISES YOU. 
          I KNOW IT SURPRISES YOU, BUT I'VE BEEN AT CONFERENCES AND HAVING TO DO ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF. 
          BUT MY QUESTION IS, IS THAT I NOTICED THAT THIS IS FROM 2009, I BELIEVE REVISED JULY, 2008. 
          IS THERE ANYTHING MORE CURRENT THAT Y'ALL ARE LOOKING AT IN TERMS OF CULTURAL DIVERSITY TRAINING? 'CAUSE THINGS HAVE SHIFTED A LITTLE BIT SINCE 2008, AND SO I'M WONDERING IF THERE'S ANY KIND OF CURRICULUM LOOKING AT YOU BECAUSE YOU KNOW THE PAST, BUT I'M LOOKING AT YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FUTURE. 
          UM, SO IN TERMS OF LIKE CULTURAL, CULTURAL DIVERSITY, RIGHT? BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS A BIG PIECE. 
          SO WHAT WHAT THAT IS, IS T BASICALLY SHOWS YOU FROM 2008, CULTURAL DIVERSITY HAS BEEN IN TCO, TALKED TO POLICE OFFICERS SINCE THAT TIME TO GO IN. 
          SO EVERY OFFICER THAT'S GONE THROUGH, THROUGH THEIR BASICS, INTERMEDIATE ADVANCED MASTERS IN THAT TIME HAS ATTENDED CULTURAL DIVERSITY. 
          AND OUR DEPARTMENT DOES CULTURAL DIVERSITY NOT JUST BY . 
          WE KNOW THEY, WHERE MOST AGENCIES ONLY HAVE TO DO IT ONCE FOR THE BASIC, BUT WE ALSO DO IT ON A BASICALLY TWO YEAR CYCLE. 
          AND WE GO THROUGH TEACH OUT CULTURAL DIVERSITY PROFILING, THOSE TYPE OF EVENTS THROUGH OUR BLOCK TRAININGS AND THINGS THAT WE ATTEND. 
          SO THAT IS JUST BASICALLY THE INFORMATION, BASIC INFORMATION OF WHAT T COLE HAS IN A REQUIREMENT. 
          AND OUR INSTRUCTORS THAT GO THROUGH, YES, THEY HAVE AN UP TO DATE, THEY DO UP TO DATE POWERPOINTS, UP TO DATE INFORMATION THAT'S PROVIDED OUT THERE. 
          SO YOU HAVE SOMETHING MORE UP TO DATE THAN WHAT TCO DID. 
          NOW, JULY, 2008, THE UPTODATE INSTRUCTORS, WHAT THEY TEACH US, THERE'S UP TO DATE WHAT THEY GO THROUGH. 
          THE BASIS FOR THIS IS THERE IS A T COLE LICENSE T COURSE, THE LESSONS AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES AND JUST LIKE LEARNING OBJECTIVES FROM TO, THOSE ARE THE MINIMUM STANDARDS AN AGENCY CAN EXCEED AND HAVE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION INTO. 
          AT THE BARE MINIMUM, YOU HAVE TO HAVE THOSE REQUIREMENTS AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING. 
          THEY DON'T HAVE ANY TCO. 
          SO WHAT, WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR GIVING THE CULTURAL DIVERSITY AND RACIAL PROFILE TRAINING? HE SAID WHO'S THAT PERSON? SO LIKE AT OUR TRAINING ACADEMY? SURE. 
          I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW WHO'S GONNA GET IT. 
          LIKE IF I WAS A BRAND NEW POLICE OFFICER. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND I'M GOING THROUGH TRAINING. 
          TRAINING. 
          IS THIS PART OF IT, LIKE A PART OF LIKE A DAY OF TRAINING? IS IT SOMETHING SEPARATE FROM THE EXPECTATIONS OF THE FIRST DAY OF TRAINING? LIKE I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW THAT, SO, 
          [01:25:01]
SO BASICALLY TO KIND OF TELL YOU, SO LIKE IN CULTURAL DIVERSITY IN THE  IT TELLS YOU WHAT A MANDATED NORMAL HOUR. 
          YES. 
          SO IF IT'S AN EIGHT HOUR COURSE OR SIX, EIGHT HOUR, SO IT SPREAD THAT OUT THROUGHOUT THE TIMELINE. 
          SO IT SAYS IT'S A MINIMAL, YOU NEED TO TEACH AND YOU CAN ADD ADDITIONAL IF YOU'LL, SO WE HAVE LICENSED TCO INSTRUCTOR FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT BOARD. 
          WE CAN GET A TCO AND LICENSED INSTRUCTOR FROM ANOTHER AGENCY TO COME INTO OUR TRAINING CONCEALING IN ORDER TO TEACH THE TOPICS THAT ARE THERE. 
          YES, WE DO HAVE OFFICERS THAT DO TEACH CULTURAL DIVERSITY OF RACIAL PROFILING WITHIN  BASED OFF OF CURRICULUM THAT THEY ACTUALLY ESTABLISHED. 
          SO THEY, THEY START HERE, RIGHT? THEN THEY ADD THEIR INFORMATION IN UPDATING INFORMATION. 
          SO THEY MAY ADD NEW VIDEOS THAT COME THROUGH FOR DIFFERENT EVENTS. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S JUST ONE. 
          EXACTLY. 
          THEY COULD ADD THAT TO GO, THEY COULD ADD, UM, LAWSUITS, NEW INFORMATION THAT COMES INTO IT. 
          I, YES, THEY DO BASICALLY A POWERPOINT FOR TEACHING THEIR CLASS THAT GOES THROUGH AND YOU HAVE SOMETHING DOCUMENTED SHOWING THAT THIS IS THE TRAININGS, THESE ARE THE POWERPOINTS THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH. 
          AND IS THERE ANYTHING MEASURABLE AFTER THEY GO THROUGH THAT TRAINING? SO AFTER MAKE SURE THAT THEY DID GET THE TRAINING. 
          YEAH. 
          SO AFTER THEY DO ANY OFFICER THAT GOES THROUGH THE TRAINING, WELL MOST OF YOUR T COLE MANDATED CLASSES LIKE THAT HAVE TO TAKE A TEST. 
          OKAY. 
          SO YOU HAVE A TEST AT THE END OF IT AS WELL THAT SHOWS YOUR PROFICIENCY WITHIN THAT COURSE THAT YOU PAID ATTENTION AND YOU WENT THROUGH THAT. 
          BUT THE TEST IS FROM TCO? NO, THE TEST IS MADE UP. 
          SO YOUR LEARNING OBJECTIVES, UHHUH, , THEY TELL YOU HERE'S WHAT YOU DO. 
          SO THE TEST IS MADE UP ON, ON EACH ONE OF THOSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES. 
          GOT IT. 
          SO THE QUESTIONS THAT COME FROM THAT FOR THE TEST ARE WHAT THE INSTRUCTOR MAKES UP FROM THE LEARNING OBJECTIVES, BUT THEY HAVE EVOLVED TO MORE RECENT YEAH, I MEAN  MAKING SURE, LIKE, I MEAN, I'M ASKING THESE QUESTIONS BECAUSE LIKE I UNDERSTAND THAT PROCESS, RIGHT? BUT FOR LIKE IN IN, IN OUR REALM, LIKE, OR IN MY REALM, I'M EXPECTED TO SHOW DELIVERABLES. 
          I'M EXPECTED TO SHOW KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS. 
          I'M EXPECTED TO SHOW EVALUATION. 
          AND WE TALKED ABOUT EVALUATION, BUT IF ANYTHING WERE TO COME UP FOR THE PROTECTION OF YOU AND YOUR OFFICERS, RIGHT? YOU WOULD, I MEAN IS THERE DOCUMENTATION TO SHOW THAT THERE IS SOME SENSITIVITY TRAINING? IS THERE CULTURE DIVERSITY TRAINING? NOT JUST, I LOOKED AT A POWERPOINT, I TOOK A FEW QUESTIONS. 
          YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? LIKE WHAT THE CURRICULUM BUILT OUT. 
          IS THERE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU HOUSE THAT CURRICULUM? SO IF ANYBODY COMES BACK AND SAYS WHAT CU CURRICULUM HAVE YOU USED MORE RECENTLY? CORRECT. 
          THAT'S, THAT'S THE REASON I'M ASKING ALL THAT IS BASICALLY WHO OVERSEES US AND LOOKS AT US IS T COLE, THE HIMSELF. 
          SO THEY COME AND DO AN AUDIT, THEY SUCK BECAUSE THEY'RE ALREADY 2009, 2008, EVERY ONE OF THE COURSES THAT COMES IN FITS THE T COLE. 
          BUT I MEAN THEY, THEY COME UP TO US AND THEY COME IN AND DO AN AUDIT EVERY YEAR AND THEY MAKE SURE, AND THEY'LL GO THROUGH RECORD. 
          SO THEY'LL PULL UP A CLASS AND SAY, I WANNA SEE THIS CLASS. 
          AND THEY'LL SEE THE ROSTER OF INDIVIDUAL OFFICERS WHO HAVE ATTENDED THAT THERE WAS A TEST. 
          THEY'LL SEE THE TEST THAT WAS GIVEN TO THE STUDENTS TO MAKE SURE THAT IT LINES OUT WITH THE LEARNING OBJECTIVES. 
          AND THEN THEY SEE, OKAY, YOU PASS, FAIL, WHATEVER THEY'RE INVOLVED WITH ALL THESE OFFICERS THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS ISN'T SOMETHING THAT AN OFFICER COULD JUST GO AND SAY, I WENT TO AN EIGHT HOUR COURSE AND THEY WERE DONE IN 30 MINUTES. 
          THEY HAVE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ENTIRE TIME THAT THEY'RE, SO THIS IS BASICALLY MINIMUM STANDARDS BUT RE UH, RELEVANT UP TO DATE STUFF IS TAUGHT IN THE INDIVIDUAL CLASSES. 
          YEAH. 
          GOTCHA. 
          SORT THIS IS A FOUNDATION POWER OR WHATEVER THAT THEY GO IN THERE AND, YOU KNOW, RATHER THAN COMING IN HERE WITH ALL THE POWERPOINT AND EVERYTHING ELSE IN INSTRUCTION, THIS IS WHAT TCO MANDATE SAYS, HERE'S YOUR MINIMUM. 
          AND THAT'S WHAT WE'LL DO REQUIRE AT A MINIMUM. 
          AND THEY DO THEIR ADJUSTMENTS TO IT BECAUSE THE CLASS COULD BE TAUGHT SIX MONTHS AGO OR A YEAR SAY, AND THE INSTRUCTOR'S THERE AND HE CAN UPDATE HIS INFORMATION FOR HIS NEXT CLASSES TO INCLUDE. 
          IT COULD BE NEW LAWSUITS, IT COULD BE VIDEOS OR SOMETHING FOR PARTICIPATION WITHIN THE CLASS. 
          THOSE THINGS ARE IN . 
          AND I CAN TELL YOU FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, THE, UH, THE, THE TESTS ARE NOT GIS. 
          UM, I JUST RECENTLY COMPLETED AN OUT OF STATE PEACE OFFICERS COURSES ARE. 
          AND UH, IT WAS, IT WAS NOT EASY. 
          I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE STANDARD. 
          I WAS, UH, I WAS CHALLENGED. 
          AND THAT'S SOMEBODY WHO'S BEEN ON THE JOB FOR 25 YEARS. 
          UM, SO ALSO WHAT I WANTED TO CHECK ON TOO WAS BEST PRACTICES ADDRESSES THIS TOO. 
          WE HAVE TO PROVE TO, UH, UH, POLICE CHIEFS ASSOCIATIONS BEST PRACTICES THAT WE'RE FOLLOWING THESE POLICIES THAT WE ARE MAINTAINING UP TO DATE, UH, TRAINING, NOT JUST FOR CULTURAL DIVERSITY TRACKING WITH THAT R UNDER BECAUSE IT'S LIKE KALIA WAS TO IT. 
          SO COLE OBVIOUSLY IS 
          [01:30:01]
HOW OUR POLICE OFFICERS ARE LICENSED. 
          LICENSED. 
          BUT THEN WHAT YOU JUST SAID, CHIEF STRINGER IS THAT WITH THE TEXAS POLICE CHIEFS, UH, BEST PRACTICE, BEST PRACTICES, SOMETIMES THE, THE BEST PRACTICES OF THE, OF THE ASSOCIATION IS GOING TO EXCEED THE T COLE. 
          IS THAT, IS THAT, IS THAT A SAFE ASSUMPTION? YOUR YOUR BEST PRACTICES, YOU ARE ONLY GONNA BE RECOGNIZED BY BEST PRACTICES IF YOU MEET THEIR GUIDELINES OF THEIR POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. 
          WHAT OF THOSE THINGS ARE, IS YOUR OFFICERS ARE TRAINED IN THESE PARTICULAR CASES? THE BEST PRACTICE IS, IS THE TEXAS BASE. 
          SO NOT , WHICH IS THE NATIONALLY BEST PRACTICE KNOWS WHAT OFFICERS IN TEXAS NEED TO BE TRAINED IN AND WHAT THE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES NEED TO RELATE TO IN THOSE SITUATIONS. 
          SO BASICALLY HAND SO, AND CHIEF BROUGHT UP WITH THE BEST PRACTICE, THIS IS ALSO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT BRINGS TO Y'ALL IS, UM, WE HAVE STARTED THE CLOCK WITH BEST PRACTICES. 
          WE SAY THAT BECAUSE IT'S ONE YEAR IN NOVEMBER OF 2022, WE WILL HAVE ANOTHER AUDIT BY THE BEST PRACTICES TO COME IN FOR OUR RECOGNITION. 
          SO THEY'LL HAVE TO RE RECOGNIZE US BY OUR POLICIES AND PROCEDURES AND THEY'LL GO THROUGH, WE'LL HAVE TO GIVE THEM PROOF OF ALL CERTAIN OBJECTIVES THAT THEY HAVE WITHIN THEIR BEST PRACTICES TO SHOW THAT WE'RE DOING THESE. 
          AND THEN THAT RECOGNITION COMES UP AND WE'LL GET, GOES THROUGH, WE'RE ACCREDITED FOR ANOTHER PERIOD OF TIME. 
          SIR, WILL A HUNDRED PERCENT OF THE OFFICERS TAKE THIS YES. 
          MANDATED BY EVERY YEAR IF THEY'RE LICENSE, THEY HAVE TO. 
          SO IT GOES IN, IT TAKES NOT SO MUCH ON EVERY YEAR THOUGH. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL IT IS IS BY T COLE THAT GOES INTO IT IS, IT COULD BE ON A CYCLE. 
          IT'S THERE EVERY OFFICER THOUGH REQUIRED TO DO IT UNDER THE BASIC POLICE OFFICER CERTIFICATION AND THEY DO IT IN THEIR INTERMEDIATE. 
          THEN YOU HAVE YOUR ADVANCED AND YOU HAVE YOUR MASTERS. 
          SO WHAT WE DO AS AN AGENCY THROUGH OUR BLOCK TRAINING, CITY OF BAYTOWN HAS DONE BLOCK TRAINING AS ITS OWN AGENCY FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS OR SO. 
          AND WE DO A TWO YEAR CYCLE BLOCK TRAINING, WHICH IS 40 HOURS COURSE MANDATED FOR EVERY OFFICER'S GONNA GO THROUGH. 
          SO OBJECTIVES THAT GO THROUGH THOSE ARE COURSES. 
          SO WE HAVE HAD RACIAL PROFILE AND CULTURAL DIVERSITY, UM, GENDER BASED TRAINING, UH, THAT ARE ALL INCORPORATED IN ALL. 
          SO BLOCK TRAINING US AS AN AGENCY, THE ONES THAT WE CAN SAY HERE ARE THE ONES THAT WE REALLY NEED TO GET REFRESHED AS THESE ARE THE ONES WE NEED OUR OFFICERS TO GO THROUGH AND GET REFRESHED AND DO THIS. 
          SO, AND IT TAKES US AS AN AGENCY, OUR SIZE TWO YEARS TO COMPLETE. 
          WE CAN'T GET ALL 175 ALTERS DONE BECAUSE OF THE CLASSROOM. 
          YOU WANT KEEP YOUR ATTENDANCE AND ATTENTION SPAN ABOUT 20 STUDENTS THEY'RE DOING BE ON THE STREET. 
          THEY'RE DOING YES. 
          WE GOTTA KEEP OFFICERS ON THE STREET. 
          SO THEY'RE DOING THESE BASICALLY A MONTH, EACH MONTH CLASS IS GOING THROUGH AND IT TAKES US ALMOST A TWO YEAR SPAN TO DO ALL TO GET EVERYBODY IN. 
          AND THEN WE ROTATE BACK AROUND ON ANOTHER TWO YEAR CYCLE. 
          AND THAT'S JUST FOR OUR OWN LOCAL, THERE'S ALL THE OTHER ADDITIONAL TRAINING STILL INVOLVED. 
          I KNOW THAT A FEW MONTHS AGO WE HAD ALSO MENTIONED THAT, UM, I KNOW WHEN I READ THE POLICE REPORTS OF CRIMES THAT HAVE BEEN COMMITTED AND THINGS LIKE THAT, THEY MIGHT GIVE THE RACE AND THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PERSON THAT'S BEING ARRESTED OR THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          UM, HAVE YOU DEVELOPED A DATA BANK TO FIND OUT WHO'S GETTING WHAT RACES AND THINGS LIKE THAT? OR GETTING THE MOST ARREST COMPARED TO, UM, AS A DATABASE AND, AND WHICH OFFICERS ARE, UM, FILING THE MOST TICKETS AND ARREST ON WHICH MINORITIES AND WHICH RACES? SO WITH THAT, LIKE I SAID, THE BEFORE THAT HAS BEEN DONE UNDER RACIAL PROFILING THE STATE OF TEXAS FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS. 
          WE ARE REQUIRED ON A YEARLY BASIS TO SUBMIT OUR RACIAL PROFILING REPORT. 
          ALL THAT INDICATES HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT DEMOGRAPHICS ARE. 
          AND SO IT GOES THROUGH THE CRITERIA OF WHITE, BLACK, HISPANIC, YOU KNOW, IN THE END IT, IT BREAKS DOWN. 
          BUT RIGHT NOW, AND ALL THAT RACIAL PROFILING FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS OR SO HAS BEEN MANDATED BY TCO. 
          SO WE HAVE TO DO THIS REPORTING TO, WHICH IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. 
          YOU CAN GO ON THE WEBSITE OF TCO, PULL UP THE BAYTOWN POLICE DEPARTMENT'S RACIAL PROFILING, THEY'LL SHOW YOU THE ARRESTS THAT WE HAD MADE FROM THOSE CITIZEN ENCOUNTERS FROM THE TRAFFIC STOPS AND THAT WE'VE HAD WITH PUBLIC ATTORNEY. 
          I CAN'T YOU RUN THAT ACROSS SPECIFIC OFFICES, 
          [01:35:02]
BUT YOU, WE CAN COME BACK AND WE CAN RUN THAT BY A SPECIFIC OFFICER, SIR, EVEN IS IT'S ISSUING CITATIONS AND ONE FOR RESTAURANT THAT'S INVOLVED IN THE CAD SYSTEM OUT CA SYSTEM JUST TO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T HAVE PARTICULAR OFFICERS THERE MORE THAN OTHERS. 
          WELL, FIRST OFF, I HAVE TO SAY THIS THOUGH, PARTICULAR OFFICERS IN PARTICULAR DISTRICTS MAY COME IN CONTACT WITH MORE CITIZENS THAN ANOTHER DISTRICT. 
          UH, SO YOU CAN'T JUST GARNER BY HOW MANY CONTACTS THAT AN OFFICER HAS WITH, YOU KNOW, IF HE HAS A HUNDRED AND HE HAS 10 BECAUSE DIFFERENT DISTRICTS, ONE MAY BE A BUSINESS DISTRICT OR ANOTHER ONE IS A HIGH CRIME AREA SO'S SOMETHING FAIR TO SAY, JUST BECAUSE HE HAS A HUNDRED CONTACTS AND HE HAS 10, THAT THERE'S SOMETHING THAT BASIS. 
          SO WHAT WE DO IS AN INDICATOR OF GOES THROUGH THAT IS OUR ELECTRIC PROFILE AND STOPS AND THROUGH THE STOPS THAT HE DOES IS HOW MANY OF THESE STOPS MAYBE OF A DIFFERENT RACE WORK. 
          IT'S ALL, YOU KNOW, THAT CAN GIVE YOU THOSE. 
          YOU JUST CAN'T GO OFF AND SAY HOW MANY NUMBERS THIS GUY, HE HAS A HUNDRED CONTACTS. 
          SO HE MUST BE, AND NOT ONLY THAT, YOU HAVE BE CAREFUL IN THE AND AND YOU CAN'T, STATISTICS CAN BE ONE THING, BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE MORE THAN ONE AREA OF THAT STATISTIC. 
          YOU HAVE HAVE TO LOOK AT. 
          YOU JUST CAN'T BASE IT ON. 
          YOU HAVE TO LOOK. 
          YOU DO. 
          AND YOU CAN'T ASK YOUR OFFICERS TO OWN THEIR DISTRICTS AND HOLD IT AGAINST THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE, THEY'RE POPULATED A CERTAIN DEMOGRAPHIC, OTHERWISE THEY CAN'T TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THOSE DISTRICT. 
          WE'RE CONSTANTLY REIGNING THEM FROM SHIFT TO SHIFT TO SHIFT. 
          AND NOBODY GETS TO KNOW THEIR POLICE OFFICERS AND THEIR POLICE OFFICERS DON'T GET TO CITIZENS. 
          SO THAT'S THE REASON WE HAVE TO TAKE A DEEP DEBRIEF. 
          CHIEF HOLDEN, THIS THING. 
          CAN, CAN YOU SEND US THE LINK TO THE ACTUAL PROFILING THING? CAN YOU SEND TO ANGELA SO ANGELA COULD SHARE IT WITH US? THAT, THAT LINK THAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT. 
          SO IT IT, THE EASIEST WAY TO GO TO IT THAT I TELL A LOT ASSISTANT, IF YOU WANT TO GOOGLE ON THE COMPUTER AND SAY ON THE GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE ON THE COMPUTER. 
          ON THE GOOGLE MACHINE? NO, ON THE COMPUTER. 
          YOU GO GO TO GOOGLE OR WHATEVER, AND THEN YOU CAN PULL UP BAYTOWN POLICE DEPARTMENT RACIAL PROFILING. 
          OKAY. 
          AND TECO AND YOU CAN FIND IT PRETTY QUICK ON THE TECO WEBSITE THERE. 
          AND ALL THE CITIES ARE LISTED THERE THROUGH THE STATE OF TEXAS THAT ARE MANDATED. 
          AND IT'S PRETTY EXTENSIVE WHERE NOW IT USED TO BE SEVEN OR EIGHT QUESTION. 
          NOW IT'S UP TO ABOUT 30 DIFFERENT BECAUSE IT BREAKS IT DOWN FROM YOU DID A SEARCH. 
          WHAT KIND OF MATERIAL DO HEARING THAT SEARCH, NOT JUST DRUGS, IT GUNS CONTRABAND MONEY. 
          AND THIS PULLS FROM YOUR RMS, THIS PULLS FROM YOUR RMS THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT LAST YEAR. 
          WE DO THAT THROUGH OUR RMS AND  SYSTEM, WHICH IS OUR TICKET WRITING SYSTEM. 
          SO THAT'S ALL ELECTRONIC IS OUR TICKET RUNNING SYSTEM UNDER VIS. 
          SO WE COLLECT ALL THE DATA FOR THOSE TRAFFIC STOPS AND SUCH. 
          THANK YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          [e.  Discuss and take appropriate action on the Baytown Police Advisory Committee schedule for the December meeting date and time.]
MOVING RIGHT ALONG. 
          WE'RE GONNA NEXT TALK ABOUT, UM, SCHEDULE FOR THE DECEMBER MEETING DATE AND TIMES. 
          LET'S TAKE PROBATIONS ON ADVISORY COMMITTEE SCHEDULE FOR THE DECEMBER MEETING DATE AND TIME. 
          I BELIEVE EVERYONE HAS A DECEMBER CALENDAR IN FRONT OF YOU. 
          COUNCIL MEETING IS ON THE NINTH THAT'S LISTED. 
          DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING PRESENT TO COUNSEL COUNCIL OUT? YEAH. 
          WHEN WE, WHEN WE NEXT ONE COUNCIL, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING WE NEED TO PRESENT TO COUNCIL? I, I THINK SO YOU CAN SCHEDULE FOR JANUARY. 
          WE'RE DUE JANUARY, YES. 
          ANY, YEAH, IF YOU DON'T, WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO TO, TO, I MEAN, IF YOU WANT TO, IF YOU WANT TO DOUBLE TAP YOUR PINS AND YOU, AND THAT'S A BIG DEAL TO Y'ALL THAT HAVE BEEN HERE. 
          IF YOU WANT TO TALK, THERE'S NOT A REQUIREMENT EVERY TIME IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE RECOMMENDING TO COUNSEL TO DO. 
          BUT AS DR. 
          SAID, IF YOU WANTED TO, TO SAY JUST SOMETHING PERSONALLY, HOW MUCH, HOW LONG Y'ALL HAVE WORKED ON THAT PROJECT AND YOU'RE GLAD THAT IT'S COME TO FRUITION. 
          IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG. 
          AND SO WELCOME TO WE COULD, WE COULD DO THAT IF THE, IF THE COMMITTEE AGREES. 
          UH, I MEAN I THINK IT ALSO, NOT JUST THAT, BUT ALSO I, YOU KNOW, OFFICER, YOU'RE NOT LIEUTENANT. 
          I WANNA MAKE SURE I GIVE YOU EXACTLY WHAT YOU DESERVE. 
          IT'S OKAY. 
          UM, LIEUTENANT DORIS HAS DEFINITELY, YOU KNOW, DONE A GOOD JOB AND WITH CORE AND SO I, AND, AND I THINK THAT THEY WERE IMPRESSED WITH CORE. 
          I REMEMBER, UH, COUNCILMAN JOHNSON, YOU KNOW, HAD A COMMENT MM-HMM . 
          AND SO I THINK EVEN COMING BACK WITH YOU SPECIFICALLY, AND YOU'VE DONE A GREAT JOB AT NAVIGATING THROUGH ALL THAT, THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO SHOW THE, THE COLLABORATION AND PUSHING THROUGH ALL OF THIS. 
          SO TO GIVE THEM A A, A UPDATE. 
          UPDATE ON CORE AND THE, 
          [01:40:01]
UM, DECALS. 
          I MEAN, 'CAUSE YOU GOT IPADS COMING, THAT'S A BIG DEAL. 
          SO IT BRINGING THAT UP. 
          IF WE GET THE IPADS ON THE SEVENTH OR EIGHTH TRAINING, THEY HAVE ONE DEFINITELY WE MAY NOT HAVE ANY TIME FOR TO DO FOR THE COUNCIL. 
          YEAH. 
          MAYBE THE NEXT MONTH. 
          BUT SHE'S TALKING KIND OF TALKING JANUARY. 
          JANUARY. 
          WELL, JAN OH, I'M SORRY. 
          JANUARY. 
          JANUARY, YEAH. 
          HAD THOSE BY THE END. 
          IF, IF YOU COULD DO A A A, A REAL TIME LITTLE HEALTH EVALUATION OF A AND I'LL VOLUNTEER JUST LIKE THEY, MY FATHER CLINICIANS UP THERE. 
          I'M GONNA GO LAY ON SOMEBODY'S COUCH. 
          , I MEAN, TO, TO, TO DEMONSTRATE THE SIMPLICITY OF IT. 
          YOU KNOW, LIKE THE, THE VIDEO THAT WE, WE WATCHED AT THE, AT THE PREVIOUS COUNCIL OR THE PREVIOUS MEETING. 
          I THINK JUST, JUST TO SHOW THIS, THE SIMPLICITY OF THE CONNECTION. 
          BOOM. 
          YOU KNOW, IT'S HIT AND RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF THEM AND, AND HAND IT OVER TO THE LAW. 
          DEMOS IT GUY. 
          WE'LL HAVE YOU THERE THOUGH?  MIGHT HAVE TO HOOK THEM UP TO A HOOK AND THEN WE COULD HAVE, WE COULD HAVE, WE COULD HAVE DECALS AND THE PENS FOR THEM TO SEE. 
          HAS COUNCIL SEEN THAT? HAVE THEY SEEN DECALS? THEY'VE ONLY SEEN PAPER. 
          THEY SAW THE PAPER COPIES OF THEY'VE SEEN THE PAPER, BUT THEY HAVEN'T SEEN THE REAL, REAL MCCOY MEETING ON THE 21ST. 
          MAYBE 21ST OF DECEMBER. 
          YEAH, THE 14TH. 
          EVERYTHING STOPPED THAT WEEK. 
          I'M CONFUSED. 
          YEAH, I WOULD SAY 14TH TO BE MATTER. 
          OKAY. 
          CAN WE GET A MOTION FOR THE 14TH? I'LL MOST LIKELY BE ON A MOTION FOR THIS. 
          DECEMBER 14TH WE MOVED BPAC MEETING A SECOND. 
          ALL IN FAVOR OF HAVING THE BPAC MEETING ON DECEMBER THE 14TH AT SIX O'CLOCK. 
          INDICATE BY SAYING AYE. 
          A ALL OPPOSED, YOU OPPOSED? NO, IT'S A BASKETBALL GAME. 
          . 
          OKAY. 
          AYES HAVE IT. 
          SO SIX O'CLOCK ON THE 14TH. 
          ARE WE, DO WE NEED TO GO BACK AND SETTING ANY TASKS AND PROCESSES? ARE WE OH, NO, NO, NO. 
          HOLD ON. 
          WE'RE NOT TO F THAT'S THE NEXT ONE. 
          THAT'S THE, OH, I'M SORRY. 
          I WROTE DOWN YOUR NOTES AND MINE. 
          THAT'S THE NEXT ONE, SORRY. 
          OKAY. 
          AND AT THE 14TH MEETING THEN WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE JANUARY, UH, REPORT FOR THE BOARD, RIGHT? YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          WAIT. 
          AND THEN, 
          [f. Consider setting any tasks and processes for future meetings.]
UM, THIS IS WHERE WE SPARK START. 
          THIS IS WHERE I, I'VE FIGURED THIS OUT. 
           SAY IT FOR SAY IT AGENDA NEXT TIME. 
          UM, YOU DIDN'T EVEN GIMME A CHANCE TO GO TO THE NEXT ONE. 
          ARE YOU THERE? HEY, HEY, WE'RE MOVING QUICKLY. 
          MENTAL HEALTH COALITION IS WHAT HE SAID. 
          YEAH, I THINK, I THINK JUST THE, IF WE CAN START LOOKING AT, TRY TO GET A A, A PLAN IN PLACE TO PULL TOGETHER THESE PROFESSIONALS, THESE PROFESSIONALS AND WHAT'S THE RIGHT, YOU KNOW, START DISCUSSION, WHAT'S THE RIGHT FORMAT, WHAT IS THE RIGHT VENUE, ALL OF THE, YOU KNOW, HOW DO WE COMMUNICATE AND JUST GETTING THE, THE COALITION OF, OF MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS I THINK IS GOING BE, UH, SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT. 
          SO ARE YOU ABLE TO COME BACK TO THAT MEETING AND GIVE US AN UPDATE OF THE CONVERSATION THAT YOU'RE GONNA HAVE THIS THURSDAY? UM, WITH KOTA ? YES MA'AM. 
          THERE'S SNACKS. 
          I'M NOT, THE BUDGET LOOKS LIKE ON SOME OR I'M GONNA HAVE YES MA'AM. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL. 
          ANOTHER WAY WE CAN MOVE IN THAT DIRECTION TO HELP YOU NOT TAKE OVER A YEAR FOR IT TO ACTUALLY COME TO FRUITION. 
          JANUARY. 
          NO SIR. 
          DECEMBER THE 14TH. 
          YES. 
          AN UPDATE FROM YOUR THURSDAY. 
          AND WE MIGHT BE WILLING TO VISIT PROFESSIONALS AND HAND OUT PERSONAL INVITATIONS TO COME TO A MEETING OR A DINNER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          OR THEY, YOU KNOW, HERE OUT IN A GROUP. 
          SO SINCE I SKIPPED HIS ABILITY TO SAY NOW WE'RE MOVING TO LETTER F. 
          DO YOU WANNA SAY IT? THAT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT COULD HAPPEN. 
          OH YEAH, WE'RE ON, WE'RE ALREADY ON LETTER F. 
          I KNOW, I, I SKIPPED IT. 
          IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE IF I SAY IT OR NOT, BUT I'M ALREADY ON LETTER FIII APOLOGIZE FOR GETTING TOO EXCITED KAREN. 
          I'M TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, THIS THIS QUORUM I'M NEED TO LEAVE OUT. 
          DON'T, BECAUSE STOP. 
          OKAY. 
          ANYTHING ELSE THAT WE WANT TO CONSIDER FOR TASK AND UH, PROCESSES FOR FUTURE MEETINGS? WE HAVE MENTAL HEALTH COALITION. 
          UM, WHAT I WROTE DOWN WAS, AND IF I HEARD YOU CORRECTLY, A PART OF WHAT YOU'RE ASKING OF US OR WOULD LIKE TO SEE US HELP WITH IS THE IMP IMPLEMENTATION OF THE STRATEGIC, RIGHT? YEAH. 
          SO I THINK PART OF THAT IS THE, I THINK PART OF WHAT, WHAT, WHAT THE, THE CITIZEN ADVISORY COMMITTEE CAN DO FOR US IS CONTINUE TO GET US THAT 
          [01:45:01]
FEEDBACK ON HOW WE ARE LOOKING IT FOR THE DEPARTMENT. 
          MM-HMM . 
          AND MAKING SURE THAT, THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY BLIND SPOTS AS TO WHAT WE'RE DOING. 
          THAT WE THINK WE'RE DOING THIS GREAT JOB AND IT'S JUST NOT WHAT THE CITIZENS WANT OR WHAT WE NEED. 
          AND WE'RE NOT MAKING THE IMPACT THAT WE NEED TO, THAT WE'RE NOT. 
          SO I GUESS FOR ME, BECAUSE I'M SO STRUCTURED IS I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND, YOU UNDERSTAND, WHAT IS THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR THE STRATEGIC PLAN DIRECTIVES, BECAUSE THAT WAS MY QUESTION ABOUT THE MEASURABLE. 
          WELL THEN THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DEVELOPING NOW BECAUSE THE STRATEGIC PLAN IS, THE STRATEGIC PLAN IS GIVING US THE DIRECTION AND THE VISION AS I READ. 
          AND WE KNOW THAT WE NEED TO COME UP WITH PROBABLY MAYBE TWO OR THREE DIFFERENT PLANS ON COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS THAT WE PUT TOGETHER TWO OR THREE DIFFERENT PARTNERSHIPS. 
          SO THAT, THAT'S, THAT'S JUST WHAT I'M LOOKING AT. 
          RIGHT? THAT'S THE REASON I'M GONNA ESTABLISH THESE WORK. 
          WE COME UP WITH THESE GOALS OBJECTIVE AND START SOME, SOME METRICS IN TO THE, SOME OF THAT'S GONNA BE QUALITATIVE. 
          IT'S NOT NECESSARILY, UH, IT'S NOT GONNA BE HARD NUMBERS. 
          IT'S NOT GONNA BE HARD. 
          IT'S GONNA BE, IT'S QUANTITATIVE, QUALITATIVE. 
          WHAT ARE THE RESULTS WE'RE SEEING OUR COMMUNITY. 
          SO THAT'S WHERE OUR SURVEYS IS, YOU KNOW, DO YOU FEEL SAFE? OUR FEEL SAFER? DO YOU FEEL SAFE AT THIS TIME OF DAY, THIS TIME NIGHT? UH, DO YOU FEEL THAT YOU HAVE THE APPROPRIATE INTERACTION WITH YOUR POLICE OFFICER? DO YOU FEEL THAT YOUR POLICE OFFICERS ARE RESPONSIVE? UH, THOSE ARE THE KIND OF THINGS THAT, THAT WE'RE ALSO GONNA BE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE GETTING GOOD QUALITY SERVICES. 
          THAT'S PERCEPTION. 
          THE BIGGEST MEASURE OF OUR SUCCESS OVERALL AS A POLICE DEPARTMENT. 
          IF, UH, IF WE'RE ONLY LOOKING AT IT, HOW MANY PEOPLE WE WRITE TICKETS TO, HOW MANY PEOPLE JAIL, IT'S HOW MANY PROBLEMS WE SOLVE BECAUSE WE NEVER HAVE TO DO THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE. 
          IT'S THE PERCEIVED LACK OF NEED FOR A POLICE DEPARTMENT. 
          IT'S REALLY OUR ADULT. 
          AND THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GONNA, DO WE NEED, UH, HARD DATA? DO WE NEED QUANTITATIVE DATA? SURE WE DO, BUT WE DON'T NEED TO FOCUS ON THAT, RIGHT? NO. 
          THE QUALITY OF THE RESULTS WE'RE GIVEN. 
          WELL, THE PERCEPTIONS OF THE, THAT'S WHAT, SORRY. 
          THAT'S WHAT PROCEDURAL JUSTICE COMES DOWN TO IS THE PERCEPTIONS, THE PERCEPTION OF THE INTERACTION WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. 
          PERCEPTION OF CRIME. 
          FEAR OF CRIME. 
          BECAUSE WHETHER YOU HAVE CRIME OR NOT, IF YOU HAVE THAT FEAR OF CRIME, IT'S GOING TO CRI. 
          THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT WERE AND CHIEF, WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE WORK, THE WORK GROUPS, I THINK I HEARD YOU SAY WORK GROUPS. 
          ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT WORK GROUPS FROM WITHIN THIS COMMITTEE? NO, NO. 
          WITHIN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. 
          OKAY. 
          WITHIN THE, OKAY. 
          I REMEMBER RICK SAID HE HANDS THE STRATEGIC PLAN TO THE CHIEF. 
          TO THE CHIEF. 
          RIGHT. 
          THE CHIEF NOW BUILDS THAT OUT INSIDE IT NOW BECOMES HIS, BUT HE HAS TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THAT. 
          I MEAN, HE'S JUST NOW GOTTEN THE STRATEGIC PLAN. 
          HE HASN'T BUILT IT. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          SO A MEMBER OF THIS OR THAT, WE'RE A RESOURCE TO YOU AND THE CITY AND TO THE CITIZENS. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND PART OF THAT, PART OF THAT PLANNING IS GONNA BE FIGURING OUT EXACTLY WHAT'S GONNA BE THE BEST USE, UH, OF THIS GROUP. 
          AND I, I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, IN THE PAST, IN THE 16TH THAT WE'VE SEEN, UH, KNOW THE AREA THAT I CAME FROM, UH, EVEN THOUGH OURS WAS, WAS AS WELL WITH SOME OF OUR NEIGHBORING AGENCIES, UH, IT WAS THAT COMMUNICATION WITH THE CITIZENS. 
          YOU KNOW, WE CONSTANTLY TALK ABOUT WHAT WITH CITIZENS AND COMMUNICATE WITH CITIZENS. 
          AND WE'VE GOT ALL OF THESE SOCIETAL, UH, FACTORS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO OVERCOME PEOPLE TO TALK TO. 
          AND BEFORE WE CAN GET TO THAT POINT, IT MAY BE YOU GUYS THAT THEY'RE TALKING TO BEFORE THAT IT MAY BE YOU GUYS THAT, THAT RESOURCE FOR US, LIKE WE'RE TRYING TO DO WITH CONNECT YOU DEPARTMENT, TAKE THIS INFORMATION TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, HERE'S THE RESPONSE THAT YOU GET. 
          NOW YOU'RE STARTING TO HELP US BUILD TRUST WITH IT. 
          AND NOT THAT WE'RE TO PUT YOU OUT AS THE MIDDLE MAN. 
          IT'D BE A LOT BETTER IF THEY FELT MORE COMFORTABLE CALLING A POLICE OFFICER DIRECTLY. 
          I MEAN REALLY THAT'S WHAT THIS COMMITTEE IS ABOUT, RIGHT? WELL, THE ONE THING THAT I WANT TO SEE THIS COMMITTEE DO THIS YEAR, SO I'VE BEEN ON THE COMMITTEE FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR. 
          WE FOCUSED A LOT ON THE PD SIDE. 
          GREAT. 
          INTERACTION HAS BEEN FANTASTIC. 
          UM, BUT THE CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT, WE WOKE UP TO CITIZEN INPUT FIRST MEETING EVERY DAY. 
          WE GET A FEW, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT. 
          I MEET WITH MY . 
          I KNOW YOU GUYS, EVERYBODY TALKS TO PEOPLE, BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE IF WE CAN FIGURE OUT A WAY TO GET MORE CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT WITH THE COMMITTEE AS A WHOLE, NOT AS AN INDIVIDUAL. 
          AND MY QUESTION IS THEN WHAT IF WE MET SOMEWHERE BESIDES THAT'S Y'S 
          [01:50:01]
DECISION. 
          YEAH. 
          SO A LOT OF PEOPLE ASSOCIATE THIS AND IT'S WELL ASSOCIATED WITH A SYSTEM, WITH A FORMAL GATHERING. 
          SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT WE SPEAK WANT THE INFORMATION FROM THE, THEY'RE GONNA BE VERY AWARE OF THE FACT THAT MAYBE SOME OF THEM AREN'T VERY WELL EDUCATED AND THINK THAT WHEN THEY APPEAR IN A PLACE LIKE CITY HALL THAT THEY HAVE TO SPEAK A CERTAIN WAY, INTIMIDATING OR THEY HAVE TO DRESS A CERTAIN WAY AND IT DOES BECOME INTIMIDATING. 
          BUT IF WE GO, UM, OCCASIONALLY, NOT ALL THE TIME, BUT OCCASIONALLY IN THEIR ENVIRONMENT CAN SPEAK WHERE THEY FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE, WHERE THERE'S A NEIGHBORHOOD, CHURCHES, A CHURCH ALSO. 
          BUT ALSO FLIP, FLIP THE, THE ORIENTATION OF THE CAMERA, SO TO SPEAK. 
          AND INSTEAD OF US FOCUSING ON THEM, FLIP THE CAMERA SO TO SPEAK, WHERE THE MESSAGE IS GOING OUT AND MAKE SURE THAT IT IS FLOODING WITH HERE'S WHAT WE'RE DOING. 
          WE'VE GOT THE CORE, WE'VE GOT THE EXACTLY, WE'VE GOT IT. 
          WE, YOU KNOW, FLIP THE CAMERA AND USE TO THEM. 
          EXACTLY. 
          AND SO WHEN YOU DO THAT, THAT'S PROBABLY GONNA BE THE WAY WE HAVE TO PROCEED. 
          THE WAY YOU GUYS WILL HAVE TO PROCEED ANYWAY BEFORE WE WILL TALK TO YOU, THEY'LL TALK TO US. 
          WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO GO TALK TO YOU. 
          I MEAN, IT'S HOW IT STARTS. 
          I DON'T THINK ANYBODY'S OPPOSED TO GOING SOMEWHERE ELSE. 
          LIKE I'M, BUT I, I, I THINK THAT'S, I I THINK MAYBE I'M JUST SAYING WHAT IF DID THAT MIGHT GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET SOME OF THAT. 
          SO IN REGARD TO WHAT OUR TASK IS, HOW WOULD CITIZEN COMMUNICATION MORE OF A, HOW DO WE, HOW DO WE MEET MORE DIRECTLY WITH CITIZENS RATHER THAN ASKING THEM TO COME TO US? HOW CAN WE MEET? AND THE CITY HAS TO BE ALONG WITH US BECAUSE WE HAVE A MEETING ROOM, WE HAVE PROTOCOL TO FOLLOW. 
          SO IT'S NOT LIKE WE CAN JUST SET UP A, A POP UP SOMEWHERE AND SAY, HEY, COME HERE. 
          ARE YOU SURE? SO I, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SEE IN THE NEXT YEAR THAT WE FIND A WAY TO MEET MORE DIRECTLY WITH CITIZENS IN THEIR CHURCH TO DO IT AS A TOWN HALL, CHURCH CHURCH OR HOA OR WHATEVER. 
          AND THE MAYOR'S ALREADY TASKED ME TO GET THE MINISTERIAL ALLIANCE BACK UP AND GOING. 
          AND THAT'S ONE OF THE TASKS THAT, THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT TO GET THE CORE, GET THE, UH, BADGES OR THE DECALS. 
          UM, WE'VE GOT, HE'S ALREADY OKAY, SO WE CAN PUT THAT FOR ON OUR TASK FOR CITIZENS COMMUNICATION THAT WE CAN TALK ABOUT OUR NEXT MEETING. 
          BUILD IT. 
          WE NEED TO BUILD IT OUT FOR NEXT YEAR. 
          BUILD IT OUT MORE AT THE NEXT MEETING. 
          OKAY. 
          'CAUSE I THINK DR. 
          STANSKI HAS TO GO AND THEN OUR QUORUM IS GONNA BE GONE. 
          AND WE HAVE, YEAH, I'M SUPPOSED TO PICK SOMEBODY UP AT THE AIRPORT. 
          OKAY. 
          HOLD ON. 
          SO IF WE'RE GONNA NOT JUST BUILD THAT OUT, BUT ALSO, UM, I JUST LOST YOU. 
          I GOT EXCITED.
