[00:00:20]
WE READY ON THAT? ELECTRONIC? YEAH.
CALL TO ORDER THE BAYTOWN POLICE ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER THE 20TH, 2022.
THE CURRENT TIME IS NOW 6 0 3, AND WE DO HAVE A QUORUM.
SO WE ARE GOING TO START THE BUSINESS.
[1. MINUTES]
AGENDA IS TO ITEM ONE A IS TO CONSIDER APPROVING THE MINUTES OF THE BAYTOWN POLICE ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING HELD ON AUGUST THE 23RD, 2022.I'LL ACCEPT A MOTION TO ACCEPT.
ITEM TWO A IS GOING TO BE CITIZEN INPUT.
AND LOOKING AT THE SHEET, WE DO NOT HAVE ANYONE SIGNED UP, SO WE'RE GONNA MOVE ON TO ITEM.
I ACTUALLY PUT THE LAKE FOR, YOU KNOW, OR THE, OR MEETING INFORMATION ON SOME NOSY BAYTOWN POST AND DIDN'T HELP.
THEY WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT SOMETHING AND I SAID, WELCOME TO SHOW UP AT THE BAYTOWN POLICE ADVISOR COMMITTEE.
SO I PUT I'VE, I'VE POSTED SEVERAL TIMES IN, UH, SEVERAL DIFFERENT PLACES.
IT'S ON, IT'S ON OUR SITE REGULARLY AS WELL.
THE, THIS THIS MONTH DIDN'T SHOW UP ON THE BAYTOWN POLICE DEPARTMENT.
IT, THERE WAS, I WENT BACK A COUPLE OF DAYS.
MAYBE I, IT, IT'S ON THERE SOMEWHERE.
I SAW IT NOT, NOT TOO LONG AGO.
IT'S WEIRD HOW THE ALGORITHM WORKS ON FACEBOOK.
ALRIGHT, MOVING ON TO ITEM THREE
[a. Receive community input obtained by the Baytown Police Advisory Committee Members. This item will allow the Committee to receive input from the community concerning police outreach, community policing, officer training, as well as policies and procedures, which may be included in its report and recommendations to the City Council.]
A.IT IS GONNA BE COMMUNITY INPUT AND RECEIVE COMMUNITY INPUT OBTAINED BY THE BAYTOWN POLICE ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
SO OPEN THAT UP FOR ANY INPUT THAT ANYBODY HAS RECEIVED, UH, FROM THE COMMITTEE.
I CAN PUT MY INPUT IN
I'M FOGGY BRAIN 'CAUSE MY PLANE GOT HERE AT FIVE O'CLOCK THIS MORNING.
UM, I KNOW THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO, TO, UH, APPREHEND THE MAN THAT SEXUALLY ASSAULTED THE WOMAN IN THE PARK.
BUT I'VE MADE IT KNOWN, UM, THAT NOT HAVING A SKETCH OR MORE, MORE DESCRIPTION OTHER THAN BLACKMAIL IS NOT, NOT FRIENDLY.
WELL, AND, AND, AND TO SPEAK TO THAT, THAT IT WAS BROADCAST ALL OVER THE HOUSTON NEWS.
JUST, I MEAN, IT JUST, IT JUST OPENS UP TARGETING AND PROFILING OF BLACK MEN.
BUT HERE'S THE THING IS ONE, OUR DEPARTMENT TRAINS AGAINST A PROFILE.
THEY KNOW FOR A FACT I'M NOT GONNA TOLERATE IT.
UH, BUT ALSO THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT IF THE MEDIA REQUEST, WE HAVE TO GIVE BY TEXAS LAW OPEN RECORDS.
AND ONE OF THEM IS, UH, IT IS DESCRIPTORS, UM, APPROXIMATE AGE, RACE, SEX, UM, AND THEN EVERYTHING ELSE.
SO, UH, AND, AND I'M NOT ARGUING WITH YOU.
WE'LL TRY TO FIND A, A BETTER WAY TO GET THAT OUT.
UH, BUT ALSO, AND I SEE THAT THERE WAS A SKETCH DONE A WEEK LATER.
SO, AND, AND WE DID PUT OUT A, A MEDIA RELEASE ON IT THOUGH.
UM, BUT ALSO WE WANNA BE AS SENSITIVE TO THE SEXUAL ASSAULT VICTIM AS WE POSSIBLY CAN TOO, SO THAT WE DON'T END UP IN A SITUATION WHERE PERHAPS A, UH, DEFENSE ATTORNEY IF WE DO IDENTIFY SOMEONE LATER SAYS, WELL, YOU NEVER GIVE THE POLICE A DESCRIPTION.
UM, ARE YOU SURE THAT YOU REMEMBER? UM, AND UNFORTUNATELY, SOMETIMES ALL YOU'VE GOT IS MALE AND, AND RACE BECAUSE THEY ARE THE MOST NOTICEABLE, UH, SOMETIMES FOR VICTIMS. AND WE DON'T WANNA DISCOUNT WHAT THE VICTIM HAS TO TELL US EITHER.
UH, IT BEGINS WITH A SEXUAL ASSAULT.
YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY THAT IS SOMETHING THAT, UH, THAT WE'VE LEARNED.
IT'S A CRIME OF AGGRESSION AND CONTROL AS MUCH AS IT IS ANYTHING ELSE.
[00:05:01]
START GIVING SOME CONTROL BACK TO THE, UH, TO THE VICTIM.UM, SO WE'LL, UH, WE'LL LOOK AT WAYS TO DO BETTER IN THE FUTURE AND, AND SEE HOW WE CAN MM-HMM
KEEP IN MIND DOING THE WHAT IS WHAT ANYBODY TURNS OVER TO THE NEWS MEDIA.
THEY STILL DON'T ALWAYS PUR REPORT ALL THE FACTS THAT ARE TURNED OVER TO THEM.
IT WAS ON, THEY CAN CHOOSE ON THE POLICE WEBSITE TOO.
THERE WAS NO, HE'S GOT GOATEE, HE'S GOT AN AFRO, HE'S GOT DREADLOCKS, HE'S CLEAN SHAVEN, UNFORTUNATELY.
THAT'S THE, HE'S TALL, YOU KNOW, NOTHING BEST, NOTHING BEST, BEST ON THERE OTHER THAN BLACK MALE.
THE BEST, UNFORTUNATELY, THAT'S THE BEST THIS TRAUMATIZED VICTIM COULD DO.
UM, BUT SHE DID COME UP WITH A SKETCH ARTIST YEAH.
AFTER WE WERE ABLE TO GET HER.
IT'S KIND LIKE AN OFFICER WHO GOES THROUGH A CRITICAL INCIDENT.
UH, I WAS JUST ABOUT TO MENTION THAT TO WE, UH, YOU KNOW, TYPICALLY YOU MIGHT GIVE AN INITIAL STATEMENT, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA RELEASE TO THE MEDIA, UM, IS SOME OF, OF THE, THE, THE BROAD DETAILS.
BUT YOU WANT 'EM TO HAVE A COUPLE OF REALLY GOOD SLEEP CYCLES, BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN WE SEE THAT THE MEMORY BECOMES BEST.
JUST, BUT NO, I, I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE, MS. HAY.
JUST TO, TO SPEAK TO THAT POINT OF THE, THE CRITICAL INCIDENT, UH, THE, THE, THE WHOLE ISSUE AND IS THAT IN A, IN A CRITICAL INCIDENT, LITERALLY YOU GET TUNNEL VISION AND
AND I MEAN, AND YOU, YOU ONLY, YOUR FOCUS IS, IS ON SURVIVAL.
AND, AND LIKE THE CHIEF JUST SAID, I MEAN, THAT IT'S THE SCIENTIFIC ASPECT OF IT, HAVING GONE THROUGH THE CRITICAL INCIDENT STRESS MANAGEMENT TRAINING AND, AND YOU KNOW, THE, JUST ALL OF THAT.
IT'S, IT'S SO VITAL THAT, YOU KNOW, THE 24, 48 HOUR ASPECT OF THAT.
BUT THAT, THAT IS, THAT IS A VERY VALID POINT OF GETTING THOSE DESCRIPTORS OUT.
AND SOMETIMES, UM, I THINK, I THINK WE, WE AS A, A GENERAL, UH, AS A WHOLE COULD PROBABLY DO BETTER ON SOME OF THOSE DESCRIPTORS LATER ON.
SO, BUT THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP.
ANYBODY ELSE? ANYBODY ELSE? SO THAT MEANS THAT YOU'RE GONNA CHANGE HOW YOU'RE GONNA DO THAT.
SO I'M NOT NECESSARILY, WE'RE JUST GONNA TRY TO CONSIDER, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE CAN DO BETTER IF WE CAN, BUT HOW COULD YOU DO BETTER? I DON'T KNOW.
I'M JUST CURIOUS BECAUSE LIKE, BECAUSE WELL, THERE'S ALWAYS A WAY TO LOOK AT IT AND SAY, HEY, HOW, HOW CAN WE DO? AND MAYBE, MAYBE THAT'S THE, THE APPROACH IS TO BEGIN TO LOOK AT THINGS AND SAY, OKAY, HOW CAN WE DO BETTER? WHAT CAN WE DO IF THERE IS ANYTHING? RIGHT.
AND BE AS, AS OPEN AND, UH, PROGRESSIVE AS WE POSSIBLY CAN.
SO BEING SOMEONE THAT HAS GONE THROUGH TRAUMA, I UNDERSTAND.
BECAUSE THERE'S THINGS THAT I REMEMBER NOW THAT HAPPENED TO ME AS A CHILD.
AND SO, AND BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THERE'S ALSO TRAUMA FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE MALE THAT ARE BLACK MM-HMM
AND THAT WHEN THAT HAPPENS, THAT TRIGGERS THEM AS WELL SURE.
AND SO HOW DO YOU BALANCE THAT OUT IN TERMS OF TRYING TO GET THE INFORMATION OUT, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, NOT, I THINK, I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD, UH, AGENCIES OUT THERE THAT ARE BIGGER, THAT HAVE THEIR OWN EMBEDDED, UH, UH, PSYCHOLOGISTS AND MAYBE EVEN, UH, SOME OF THE BIG AGENCIES HAVE SOME ALMOST LIKE KNOWLEDGE LABS KIND OF IN THEIR POLICE ACADEMIES AND TRAINING UNITS AND STUFF THAT, YOU KNOW, WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO REACH OUT TO 'EM AND SEE WHAT THEIR BEST PRACTICES ARE, WHATEVER LESSONS WE CAN LEARN.
SOUNDS LIKE THAT'S A NEW BUCKET.
SEE IF WE CAN HAVE OUR, 'CAUSE I HEARD THAT THE SKETCH ARTIST HAD TO COME INTO BOSTON IN TEXAS RANGER.
I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY WAY TO GET SOMEBODY LIKE THAT OR A, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THOSE FLIP BOOKS WHERE YOU CAN SAY, OKAY, DID HIS NOSE LOOK LIKE THIS? DID HIS EYES LOOK LIKE THAT? AND FLIP THE PAGES BACK AND FORTH.
AND UNTIL YOU HAVE A BUT THAT COULD BE TRAUMATIC TOO.
I'M JUST SAYING LIKE, IF IT'S GONNA TAKE HER A WEEK TO HIM OR HER A WEEK, TO TO, TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE SLEEP PATTERNS.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS A FULL WEEK THOUGH, BUT I MEAN, JUST EVEN THEN, LET'S JUST PRETEND LIKE A DAY OR TWO BEFORE PUTTING ANYTHING OUT THERE, COULD IT JUST BE, THERE WAS AN ASSAULT, BE CAUTIOUS OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS INSTEAD OF SAYING BLACK, BLACK.
BUT UNDERSTAND TOO, THE CITIZENS ARE GONNA LOOKING, BEGIN COMPLAINING.
'CAUSE WE DIDN'T GIVE THEM ANYTHING.
IT'S A YEAH, BUT THEN YOU'RE GONNA, BUT THEN YOU'RE GONNA SAY IT IS LIKE SAYING A LATINO, I MEAN, WE'RE WHAT, OVER 50% LATINO HERE? I MEAN, LATINO MALE.
THAT'S YOU, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? LIKE, YOU COULD BE WALKING TO THE PARK AND EVERYBODY'S GONNA BE STARING AT YOU BECAUSE DO YOU SEE, AM I, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, LIKE I'M KIND OF LIKE, WAIT, I JUST DON'T THINK THAT GOING ACROSS ALL OF HOUSTON NEWS BROADCAST AND ALL THREE MAJOR NETWORKS, PROBABLY FOX TWO, BUT I NEVER TURNED OR TURN THEM ON.
BUT ANYWAY, BUT IT WAS JUST A BLACK MAN IN BAYTOWN
I MEAN, I JUST FEEL THAT YOU, AND THEY DID IT AGAINST INFORMATION RIGHT THERE IN THE END TO RIGHT.
WANT WHAT HAPPENED RIGHT THERE.
YOU WANT THAT TO ME? YOU WANT THE DESCRIPTION.
SAID A LATINO MALE OF THE TWENTIES.
DO YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? I DON'T EVEN THINK THE OURS WENT OUT WAS SAYING THEY WERE IN THEIR TWENTIES, SO IT WAS JUST A BLACK MALE.
SO THEREFORE EVERYBODY'S GONNA LOOK SUSPICIOUSLY AT ALL BLACK MEN AND IT'S JUST
[00:10:01]
NOT RIGHT.I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS IN THE GULF COAST VIOLENT OFFENDERS TASK FORCE.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER THAT INCIDENT WITH THE, THE RAILROAD KILLER.
WHAT'S THE NAME OF, UH, OH, IT WAS IN RIVER RAMEZ.
WELL, I WAS PART OF THE GROUP THAT WENT TO, UH, FLATONIA.
IT WAS A BIG MAJOR OPERATION DOWN THERE WHERE A DPS AGENCY FROM ALL OVER THE AREA.
AND I, YOU KNOW, ALL WE HAD WAS HISPANIC MALE.
AND YOU KNOW, ME BEING A HISPANIC MALE, I MEAN, EVERYBODY IN THAT AREA THAT WILL STOP US, YOU KNOW, ANYBODY ON THAT ROAD, ROAD TRAIN OR IT'S CALLED RACIAL PROFILING.
WE JUST, YOU KNOW, WE'RE LOOKING FOR A MURDER, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH, I DON'T THINK.
I DON'T THINK, AND AND I THINK THE NEWS AGENCIES ARE PARTIALLY RESPONSIBLE TOO, FOR ACCEPTING A REPORT LIKE THAT.
I, I DON'T THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE BROADCASTED WELL, THE, THE INFORMATION RELEASED BY A DEPARTMENT OR BY A CITY OR ANYBODY ELSE, AND PROMOTED BY MID MEDIA TO DO TWO THINGS.
ONE, RAISE AWARENESS FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY AND SOME AWARENESS AND TO DRIVE QUESTIONS TO SAY, DO YOU KNOW WHO THIS PERSON IS? SO IT'S, IT'S A, ITS A BALANCING ACT.
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS THE HARDEST PART BECAUSE THE MEDIA CAN CHOOSE TO DO THIS MUCH OR THAT MUCH.
BUT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS DRIVEN BY REGULATIONS.
THEY, THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THEY HAVE TO DO STATE LAW.
SO THAT'S HELPFUL TO KNOW THAT WHAT THAT STATE LAW IS DISCLOSURE, UM, WHATEVER.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO GO TO LOOK AT THAT TABLE TO SEE WHAT HE'S RESPONSIBLE FOR.
IT'S PRIMARILY, IS IT BURIED IN THE PANEL CODE OR IS THAT, IS THAT UNDER CIVIL CODE? IT'S HOUSTON CHRONICLE PUBLISHING COMPANY VERSUS SOMETHING.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I'M, AND IT TALKS ABOUT THE DEMOGRAPHICS AND PHYSICAL DESCRIPTORS.
I MEAN, THAT WAS LIKE, I THINK THAT'S NUMBER ONE IN THE CODE, ISN'T IT? THERE'S A WHOLE LIST OF THINGS THAT HAVE TO BE DISCLOSED.
SO YOU'RE GONNA EMAIL IT TO ME.
AND I, I THINK IT'S, IT'S SOMETHING THAT, THAT PROBABLY SHOULD, SHOULD BE FURTHER DISCUSSED, MAYBE LOOKED AT AS, AS FAR AS, UH, HAVE BE FORMED INTO A BUCKET, YOU KNOW, UNDER THE NEXT, THAT'S KIND OF WHERE, TELL ME HOW THAT BE.
UM, I DON'T, I DON'T, YOU KNOW, MAYBE WHEN Y'ALL DO YOUR PRESS STATEMENTS, DO THE, UH, PRESS STATEMENTS AND DESCRIPTORS AND ALL OF THAT, THAT MAY BE, MIGHT VERY WELL BE A, A OPPORTUNITY TO EXPAND THAT INTO A BUCKET.
[a. Discuss the presentation of the Baytown Police Advisory Committee's quarterly report to the City Council on September 22, 2022. This item allows the Committee to discuss the presentation of its quarterly report to the City Council on September 22, 2022.]
MOVE ON TO ITEM FOUR A.AND THAT IS TO DISCUSS THE PRESENTATION OF BAYTOWN POLICE ADVISORY COMMITTEE'S QUARTERLY REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL ON SEPTEMBER 22ND, 2022.
UM, I HAVE PULLED TOGETHER JUST SOME QUICK, UH, ITEMS THAT ARE GOING TO BE ON YOUR SCREEN.
RAQUEL, IF YOU'RE ABLE TO FULL SCREEN.
I DON'T HAVE THE, DO I HAVE THE CONTROLLER? YEAH.
WHERE IS IT AT? IN ANGELA'S? OH, I, THAT HANDS YOU WANT THE MOUSE? NO, NO, NO, NO, THAT'S FINE.
SO, UM, SO HIM AND HE YOU WIFI IT? NO, NO, THIS, SHE'S GOT IT.
WELL, WE HAVE THE IT GUY HERE, SO YEAH, BUT THAT IS AN ACT.
ALRIGHT, SO BAYTOWN POLICE ADVISORY COMMITTEE QUARTERLY REPORT.
UH, JUST TO, JUST TO DO A QUICK SUMMARY OF THE COMMITTEE FOCUS AS AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO THE C CITY COUNCIL.
NO OVERSIGHT, UM, NO OVERSIGHT, UH, CAPABILITY.
AND THEN NO POLICY AND NO POLICY PROCEDURE, UH, CHANGE AUTHORITY WHATSOEVER.
I WANTED TO GIVE 'EM JUST A QUICK, UM, SUMMARY OF THE BUCKETS OF CONCERNS, UH, THAT WE HAVE THUS FAR THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR THE, UH, THE LAST QUARTER, BUT ALSO FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS.
AND, UM, SO, UH, JUST A QUICK RECAP THERE AND, UH, GIVE EVERYBODY A QUICK SUMMARY OF THE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AND HOW THAT THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS, UH, CONTINUE TO REACH OUT TO THEIR RESPECTIVE DISTRICTS CITIZENS', INPUT, CONCERNS, SUGGESTIONS, AND THEN SEEKING FOR VENUES FOR MEETING OUTSIDE OF CITY HALL.
UM, SO IS THERE ANY OTHER YOU ARE GONNA TALK ABOUT WHEN YOU SAY SEEKING VENUES FOR MEETINGS OUTSIDE OF CITY HALL, YOU ARE GONNA TALK ABOUT HOW WE HAD A LOT, A HUGE
I'VE GOT IN MY, IN MY, MY SPEAKING NOTES HERE, I SAID THERE'S AN ONGOING EFFORT FOR BPAC TO MEET OUTSIDE CITY HALL.
THE HIGHEST ATTENDED BPAC MEETING WAS AT LEE COLLEGE.
AND THEN THE HIGHEST CITIZEN INPUT WAS ALSO AT THAT MEETING AT LEE COLLEGE.
UM, AND SO JUST TO, JUST TO PUT THAT ON THE RECORD FOR CITY COUNCIL SO THAT THEY ARE AWARE THAT OUR HIGHEST,
[00:15:01]
YOU KNOW, HIGHEST LEVEL OF CITIZEN INPUT HAS BEEN WHEN WE WERE OUTSIDE OF, OF THIS CAMPUS.AND WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE, THE CITIZEN INPUT AND THE CON CONCERNS AND SUGGESTIONS, ARE YOU GONNA TALK ABOUT HOW THEY DIRECTLY TALKED TO THE POLICE CHIEF AND HE HE DID RESPOND? YEAH, I DEFINITELY, I WILL ADD THAT.
ADDRESS EVERY SINGLE ONE OF 'EM.
THANK YEAH, BECAUSE I DO REMEMBER I HAD A FOLLOW UP REPORT.
NOW, WHETHER OR NOT THEY SHOWED UP FOR, BUT YOU DID, ALTHOUGH I DID HAVE, UH, A GOOD CONVERSATION WITH A FELLOW OUT HERE, UH, ONE OF THE FELLOWS WHO COMPLAINED ABOUT THE, UH, THE CRIME STREET, THE ELDERLY GENTLEMAN.
UH, HE WAS UP HERE AT CITY HALL FOR SOMETHING AND, AND HE SAID THAT, UH, THAT THERE HAD BEEN A, THAT AN IMPACT.
I WAS JUST, I WAS JUST THAT HOOD CLARIFYING.
IS THAT MR. IKE? I MEAN, NO, NO, IT WASN'T.
I WISH I COULD REMEMBER THE FELLOW'S NAME, BUT IT WASN'T, LET ME JUST MAKE A NOTE HERE AND I'LL ALL RIGHTY.
ANYTHING ELSE ON, ON THIS ASPECT OF COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT THAT WE NEED TO BRING UP TO THE, UH, WHAT ABOUT THE STUFF THAT RENEE'S DOING? IS THAT GONNA BE ANOTHER SLIDE? UH, IT'S NOT BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION.
AND I MEAN, I DON'T MIND PUTTING THAT IN.
I MEAN, HE, HE GAVE US THE INFORMATION ABOUT UNIDOS.
UH, WHATEVER REASON THAT DID NOT MAKE IT TO MY FILE.
I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE HE, HE WAS A COMMITTEE MEMBER AND THEN YES, HE, WHEN HE CAME OFF, HE WAS, WELL, HOW DO YOU SAY THIS? UNIDOS? UNIDOS.
I ALMOST SAID UNIDAS, BUT THAT'S THE WELL, WHERE GRINGO, WHERE DO YOU
HE DID AN EXCELLENT JOB OF THAT.
'CAUSE I ASKED HIM TO HEAD UP HISPANIC OUTREACH, WHICH WAS SOMETHING THAT I FELT WAS, WAS IMPORTANT.
AND THEN THEY TOOK IT AND RAN WITH IT AND TURNED IT INTO THIS.
SO, MATTER OF FACT, THEY ARE IN TRAINING, UH, AT A MEETING IN PLAINTIFF.
IT COULD ALMOST BE A WHOLE BOOK.
I WAS JUST ABOUT, WELL, I'M ACTUALLY, I'M GONNA MAKE A, I'M GONNA INSERT FOUR.
I'M GONNA INSERT AN ACTUAL NEW SLIDE THAT'S PLAIN OUT.
UM, FROM THE LAST MEETING, DID YOU TALK TO THE PERSON ABOUT THE BEL MOTEL? I DID.
THAT'S NOT ON THE BUSINESS BOOK WHILE HE'S TALKING.
NO, I, IN MATTER OF FACT, I CALLED HER AND SPOKE TO HER.
SHE NEVER CALLED FOR THE EVERY WATCH MEETING COULD NO.
RAEL WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO GET, WOULD WE BE ABLE TO INSERT THIS INTO MY PRESENTATION OR DO WE HAVE THIS OR IF YOU CAN EMAIL IT, I'LL, I'LL PUT IT IN AND THEN EMAIL IT TO YOU.
JUST REMINDER, THEY HAVE A MEETING ON THE, THEIR TOWN HALL MEETING ON THE 25TH OF SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER.
MATTER OF FACT, I HAVE THAT IN UNDER OUTREACH.
SO WHERE, WHERE'S IT GONNA BE? 500 EAST? JAMES, WHAT IS THAT? TELL ME.
WHAT AGAIN? 25TH, SEVEN O'CLOCK.
THE EMMANUEL CHURCH DOORS OPEN AT SIX.
ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS ON THIS? DO WE WANT TO PUT THAT WE ARE PLANNING TO PARTICIPATE LIKE IN THE NATIONAL NIGHT OUT, THINGS LIKE THAT ON THIS? OR IT'S THE OTHER ONE? UM, THE CITIZENS APPRECIATION.
DO WE WANT PUT THAT INTO THE I CAN DEFINITELY DO THAT PART WE HAVE DONE, BUT I FEEL LIKE THAT'S A, TO YOUR POINT, THAT'S A GOOD PART.
UH, PART OF WANTING TO BE MORE, UM, SEEKING MORE VENUES OR, YEAH, WELL, MORE VISUAL IN THE COMMUNITY.
IS THAT THE WORD I'M LOOKING FOR? IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY.
TO BE MORE VISIBLE PARTICIPATION.
NO, WE WANNA BE MORE VISUAL SO PEOPLE KNOW WE'RE HERE.
WHERE'S NATIONAL NIGHT OUT? THAT'S OCTOBER 4TH.
IT'S NOT GONNA BE CENTRALIZED.
WAIT, THE ONE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT WAS IN NOVEMBER, RIGHT? IT'S NOVEMBER 5TH.
I WILL, I WILL UPDATE THAT, UH, THAT THE COMMITTEE DESIRES TO BE MORE VISIBLE AND ACCESSIBLE TO THE COMMUNITY.
[00:20:02]
I'LL GET IT RIGHT.AND THEN, UH, JUST ANYTHING ELSE ON ANY INVOLVEMENT.
AND THEN GOING TO JUST ACKNOWLEDGE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AS A WHOLE TO ADDRESS BPAC CONCERNS AND JUST MAKE SURE THAT WE ACKNOWLEDGE NOT ONLY CHIEF STRINGER, BUT ALL OF HIS LIEUTENANT DORIS, LIEUTENANT OSA AND, UH, DIFFERENT ONES THAT ARE DOING THEIR JOBS ON THAT.
AND THEN OPEN IT UP FOR QUESTIONS.
I ALSO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE CITY COUNCIL FOR CONTINUING TO SUPPORT THE COMMITTEE ITSELF.
IS ENDEAVOR, WILL ANY OF YOU BE IN ATTENDANCE ON THURSDAY? I'M SORRY.
IS RODNEY'S GONNA BE THERE AS WELL? OKAY, SO WE CAN ERVE.
OH, YOU GONNA DELIVER ERIC? I'M SORRY.
HEY, CAN YOU LET ME KNOW WHETHER OR NOT WE GET VOTED IN? I WILL.
DOES THAT MEANS YOU'RE GONNA LET ME KNOW THE NEXT DAY? OR YOU GONNA LET ME KNOW IN LIKE THREE WEEKS? THE NEXT ITEM, SEVEN A ON THE AGENDA.
AM I LIKE, LIKE STILL THE LAST THING ON THE AGENDA? UM, RIGHT BEFORE LAST TIME.
THE WING DINO DID NOT DISAPPOINT.
THAT'S WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE NOW.
AND HE JUST CAME UP WITH A NEW ONE.
IS HE COMING BACK? I DON'T KNOW.
SO I WILL, I WILL MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THIS SQUARED AWAY IF YOU WANNA SEND THAT BACK DOWN TO THEM, AND THEN WE WILL BE MOVING ON.
SO I WILL MAKE THOSE SUGGESTED UPDATES AND MAKE THAT HAPPEN FOR YOU GUYS.
[b. Discuss participation of the Baytown Police Advisory Committee at the Citizen Appreciation Event to be held at Town Square on November 5, 2022. This item allows the Committee to discuss participation of the Baytown Police Advisory Committee at the upcoming Citizen Appreciation Event to be held at Town Square on Saturday, November 5, 2022.]
ON TO FOUR B ON THE AGENDA.DISCUSS PARTICIPATION IN THE BAYTOWN POLICE ADVISORY COMMITTEE AT THE CITIZENS APPRECIATION EVENT TO BE HELD AT TOWN SQUARE ON NOVEMBER THE FIFTH, 2022.
SO I'M GONNA, I THINK IT'S DR.
AND THEN LIEUTENANT EVANS IS NOT ABLE TO BE HERE.
SPRINGER SPRINGER, ANN SPRINGER.
YEAH, RICHARD AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WERE GOING ON, SO WE STAYED OUT OF IT.
UM, AND WE HAVEN'T HEARD FROM, ANYWAY, SO, OH, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, I'M NOT INTO THE ACTUAL PHYSICAL LOGISTICS.
I WAS JUST KIND OF TRYING TO DESIGN A BANNER AND, YOU KNOW, HAVE A SURVEY TO PASS OUT.
AND I SHARED WITH THE GENTLEMAN AN IDEA I HAD ON THE SURVEY LAST MONTH.
AND THEN MY, UM, IDEA FOR A BANNER IS TO HAVE, UM, FOUR ARMS. LIKE IF YOU WERE STANDING WITH FOUR PEOPLE FACE TO FACE AND EVERYBODY PUT OUT A LEFT ARM AND YOU GRAB THE OTHER PERSON'S ARM, AND THEN THEY GRABBED AN ARM ANYWAY.
SO IT WOULD FORM LIKE A SQUARE.
AND WE WOULD HAVE ONE ARM OF A BLACK PERSON, ONE ARM OF A WHITE PERSON, CAUCASIAN, ONE OF A, UM, HISPANIC ARM, AND THEN ONE BLUE FOR THE POLICE OFFICERS.
AND, UM, BAYTOWN POLICE ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
OUR, OUR CITY SYMBOL IN THE MIDDLE.
AND THEN I'M GETTING BUSY WITH ALL THIS MESS,
ANYWAY, SO, AND BAYTOWN POLICE ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
AND THEN THIS IS WHERE I NEED THE COMMITTEE, THE COMMITTEE'S INPUT.
UM, THEY BASICALLY SAY THE SAME THING, BUT IT'S IN ONE'S A SHORTER VERSION.
UM, I'VE GOT WORKING TOGETHER TO SERVE THE BAYTOWN COMMUNITY OR SERVING THE BAYTOWN COMMUNITY TOGETHER.
SO ONE'S GOT 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 WORDS IN IT.
AND THE OTHER ONE'S GOT SEVEN WORDS.
SO, IS IT, IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, JUST A CATCH.
IF I COULD GIVE JUST A CATCHPHRASE, IF I COULD GIVE MY SUGGESTION, AND THIS GOES BACK TO MY MARKETING DAYS, WORKING TOGETHER TO SERVE BAYTOWN, NOT THE BAYTOWN COMMUNITY.
BECAUSE BAYTOWN, IT ISN'T ALL, IT'S IMPLIED.
AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, BAYTOWN IS REALLY A CONGLOMERATE OF DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES THAT ALL GO TOGETHER TO MAKE A CITY.
IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS, WHEN I WAS RESEARCHING THE AREA, I WAS LIKE, THAT'S, IT'S REALLY COOL.
DIVERSITY OF THE STUFF, OR IF WE JUST WANTED TO, TO SIMPLIFY IT, SERVING BAYTOWN TOGETHER.
'CAUSE THEN YOU'RE GONNA HAVE BAYTOWN POLICE ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
AND THEN IF YOU, IF YOU JUST HAVE A CLEAR
[00:25:01]
VISION OF SERVING BAYTOWN TOGETHER.I MEAN, 'CAUSE YOU ALREADY KNOW WE'RE FOCUSING ON BAYTOWN POLICE ADVISORY.
AND WE'RE SERVING WELL, I PARAGRAPHS TO SAY HELLO.
I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU WANNA PUT COMMUNITY.
YEAH, I DO UNDERSTAND WHY YOU WANNA PUT COMMUNITY, BECAUSE I DON'T WANNA NECESSARILY MEAN MAKE IT, I GET WHY YOU DON'T WANT IT TO BE, EVEN THOUGH WE KNOW IT'S, IT'S IMPLIED BAYTOWN.
BUT THAT COULD ALSO ENCOMPASS OTHER THINGS THAT WELL, WITH CERTAIN COMMUNITIES THAT THEY VIEW, UM, BAYTOWN AS US VERSUS THEM LIKE THE CITY AND, AND EXACTLY THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY.
AND THEY, THEY LIVE HERE, BUT THEY DON'T CONSIDER THEMSELVES A PART OF THE ENTITY.
I THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE COMMUNITY AFTER IT.
SO DO YOU WANT THE ONE WITH ALL THE WORDS, THE ONES WITH THE SHORTER AMOUNT OF WORDS? I THINK MINIMIZING THE WORDS IS PROBABLY THE BEST WAY.
SO I'LL CROSS OUT CHOICE A, WHAT WAS CHOICE B? PARDON ME? SERVING THE BAYTOWN COMMUNITY TOGETHER.
AND A WAS WORKING TOGETHER TO SERVE BAYTOWN OR SERVE THE BAYTOWN COMMUNITY.
DO WE NEED TO VOTE ON IT? LET'S VOTE ON IT, BECAUSE THIS IS KIND OF LIKE A LITTLE SLOGAN FROM HERE ON OUT, UNFORTUNATELY.
I WANTED TO GO FIRST, OR WHATEVER MORE DR. MORENO GOES, HAS A FIRST MOTION.
ALL IN FAVOR OF ACCEPTING OPTION B, SAY AYE.
THE, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT BIRD IS AGAIN.
WHAT IS, IT'S NOT A CRANE, IS IT? I THOUGHT IT WAS, IT'S, IT'S MAKES YOU USE THE RIGHT, MAKES YOU USE THE RIGHT ONE.
I, I GOT A CERTAIN LOGO YOU USE.
THIS IS, THIS IS OUR LOGO CITY'S BRANDING.
I HAVE MY DAUGHTER LOCK IT UP.
NOW WE JUST HAVE TO GET APPROVAL FOR A CITY COUNCIL, MAYBE FOR A COST OF A BANNER.
I THINK, UH, JARRIS IS IN ANOTHER MEETING RIGHT NOW.
LAST TIME I REMEMBER SHE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT SHE WAS WORKING ON, ON GETTING THAT DONE.
SO WE'LL LET HER HAMMER OUT THOSE DETAILS.
ANY, ANYTHING ELSE FOR ITEM B? ALRIGHT, LET'S GO TO FOUR C.
IT'S ALL RIGHT WITH EVERYBODY THAT WE DO LIKE A LITTLE, UM, SIMILAR TO THE WEBSITE, THE, THE, UH, POLICE WEBSITE WHERE IT'S GOT LIKE, THE COMPLAINT AND, AND, UM, CRITICISM, CRITICISM AND COMP COMPLIMENT PAGE.
UM, I KIND OF JUST PUT THAT INTO A TYPED OUT VERSION SO PEOPLE COULD WRITE ON IT, THAT WE HAVE IT THERE AND THEN WE CAN COMPILE IT.
IS THAT ALREADY IN THE, IN THE FOYER OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT? IN A, IN A PRINTED FORM? IN A PRINTED FORM? I, I'D HAVE TO CHECK TO SEE.
I MEAN, EVERYTHING'S GOING ONLINE NOW.
BUT SINCE WE'RE GONNA BE THERE IN PERSON, I WAS TRYING TO JUST HAVE SAME FORM BASICALLY, BUT I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH THAT.
ANY PROBLEM WITH ANYBODY WITH US DOING THAT? I DON'T HAVE ANY.
THERE'S YOUR CLEARANCE ON THAT.
[c. Receive an update regarding the status of police outreach, community policing, officer training and policies and procedures. Staff wil update the Committee concerning police outreach, community policing, officer training and policies and procedures.]
ALL MOVING ON TO FOUR C.RECEIVE AN UPDATE REGARDING THE STATUS OF POLICE OUTREACH, COMMUNITY, POLICE OFFICER TRAINING AND POLICY AND PROCEDURES.
UM, AS, AS I WAS TELLING ANGIE, UM, I LIKE YOUR ECONOMY WITH WORDS BECAUSE I'LL TAKE THREE PARAGRAPHS TO SAY HELLO.
WE HAVE THREE RECRUIT OFFICERS WHO JUST GRADUATED THE POLICE ACADEMY.
WE HAVE THREE RECRUIT OFFICERS WHO'S GRADUATED THE POLICE ACADEMY.
UH, THEY GRADUATED FROM HOUSTON COMMUNITY COLLEGE ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO.
AND ONE OF THE RECRUITS WHO HAD BEEN ONE OF OUR JAILERS, UM, BLAKE HILL, UH, HAS RECEIVED THE SECOND HIGHEST SCORE ON THE TCO LICENSING, LICENSING EXAM IN THE ACADEMY'S HISTORY.
AND THE ACADEMY'S, HIS JOB, HIS HISTORY SINCE THEY'VE BEEN RUNNING THAT ACADEMY.
SO WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF HIM AND WE EXPECT GREAT THINGS.
UH, YOU KNOW, UM, HOPE HE DIDN'T SET THE BAR TOO HIGH
WELL, RIGHT NOW IT'D BE HARD TO STEAL ANYBODY AWAY FROM US.
BUT THERE ANY BENEFITS PASSED.
SO THE THREE RECRUITS ARE COMPLETING ORIENTATION FOR, UH, BAYTOWN PD POLICIES, PROCEDURES, CITY ORDINANCES, THINGS THAT THEY DIDN'T GET IN THE ACADEMY.
UM, AND, UH, THEY'LL ALSO HAVE TO TAKE A, AN EMERGENCY DRIVING COURSE, OUR OWN FIREARMS COURSE.
'CAUSE WHILE THE STATE REQUIRES A 70%, UH, PASSING ON FIREARMS, WE REQUIRE 90, SO TIME 80 AT NIGHTTIME.
[00:30:01]
AT NIGHTTIME, WE REQUIRE AN 80.THE STATE DOESN'T EVEN REQUIRE A NIGHTTIME QUALIFICATION.
SO THERE'S THE DISTINCTION WITH SOME OTHER AGENCIES AS WELL.
UM, SO I, I, I WAS LOOKING OVER SOME OF THE, UH, UH, THINGS THAT, UH, YOU HAD ASKED AND BUCKETS OF CONCERN.
UH, THERE IS NO SET FEDERAL GUIDELINES, NOR ARE THERE NATIONAL MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR POLICE ACADEMIES.
AND THIS MAY HAVE BEEN PRESENTED BEFORE I, I CAME, BUT, UH, JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, THE BACKGROUND ON POST AND COMMISSIONS, UH, THE WICK WICKERSHAM COMMISSION, UM, WHICH WAS COMMISSIONED BY PRESIDENT HOOVER ON LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING ACROSS THE NATION IN 1929, UH, BEGAN EVEN THEN SUGGESTING THAT ALL STATES HAVE A PEACE OFFICER STANDARDS AND TRAINING COMMISSION.
UM, AND, YOU KNOW, WE STILL ACTUALLY HAVE ONE OR TWO STATES IN THE US THAT DON'T HAVE THEIR OWN POST OR COMMISSION.
UH, TEXAS BEGAN THEIRS IN 1965.
UM, AND, UH, ALL STATES WERE LEFT TO SET THEIR OWN STANDARDS, ESSENTIALLY.
UM, KIND OF GOES TO THE US BEING, I GUESS, A GREAT EXPERIMENT RIGHT? FROM STATE TO STATE.
SO, UH, SO THE, THE BAYTOWN POLICE ACADEMY MEETS ALL THE REQUIREMENTS THAT SET FORTH BY T COLE FOR AN IN-SERVICE ACADEMY.
UM, THERE'S NO REAL WAY TO DETERMINE IT EXCEEDS REQUIREMENTS.
UM, SIMPLY BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE ARE JUST A, AN AFTER ACADEMY IN SERVICE TRAINING ACADEMY RIGHT NOW, AND WE DO PROVIDE, UH, CLASSES FOR REGIONAL DEPARTMENTS.
UM, NOW AS FAR AS REQUIREMENTS FOR A, AN ACADEMY THAT HOSTS A BASIC PEACE OFFICERS COURSE, UH, WE WOULD STILL MEET THOSE REQUIREMENTS.
AND, UH, UH, THAT, THAT'S, UH, A REQUIREMENT, UH, THAT THE ACADEMY SERVES A POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT MEETS OR EXCEEDS, UH, AT LEAST 75 FULL-TIME OFFICERS.
UM, OF COURSE, WE HAVE 175 WITH 15 OPENINGS RIGHT NOW.
HAVE T COLE CERTIFIED INSTRUCTORS LESSON PLANS THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY T COLE.
UH, THERE HAS TO BE AT LEAST A BASIC PISTOL FIREARMS RANGE.
UH, WE HAVE A TRAINING FACILITY FOR FIREARMS THAT HAS THREE DIFFERENT RANGES ON IT.
UM, THERE HAS TO BE A GOVERNING BOARD OF ADVISORS, WHICH WE DO HAVE FOR OUR ACADEMY.
UM, IT'S, UH, UH, AREA CHIEFS THAT ARE, THAT ARE ON IT IN A CITIZEN.
AND, UH, A REVIEW OF TRAINING FILE FILES FOR UP TO FIVE YEARS, UH, BY T COLE COMMISSION PERSONNEL, AS WELL AS SITE FACILITIES.
SO WE MEET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS.
UM, REALLY, IT WOULD BE HARD TO SAY THAT WE EXCEEDED ANYTHING, BECAUSE ONCE YOU MEET 'EM, THAT'S THE THRESHOLD.
UM, SO MAYBE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF HOW MANY PERSONNEL WE HAVE, UH, I CAN TELL YOU THE, THE ACADEMY INSTRUCTION HAS BEEN REALLY GOOD SO FAR SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE.
UH, AND THE STANDARD THAT MOST ACADEMIES WORK WITH IS, UM, FOR, FOR THOSE THAT ARE OFFERING BASIC PEACE OFFICERS COURSES, UH, T COLE REQUIRES AN 80% PASS RATE ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT.
A FIRST ATTEMPT FOR THREE CONSECUTIVE STATE FISCAL YEARS.
THE ACADEMY CAN LOSE ITS ACCREDITATION OR BE PUT ON SUSPENSION OR PROBATION.
UM, YEARS AGO, UH, BAYTOWN POLICE DEPARTMENT HAD ITS OWN BASIC PEACE OFFICERS COURSE, AND THEY GOT CLOSE TO, TO, TO LOSING THEIR ACCREDITATION BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T HITTING THAT 80%, UH, PASS RATE.
SO THEY DECIDED NOT TO, TO HOST A COURSE, WE ARE GOING TO DO THAT.
AND THAT'S ONE OF THE GOALS THAT I SAID WE'RE GOING TO, UM, STAND UP A BASIC PEACE OFFICER'S COURSE.
MY GOAL IS A REALISTIC GOAL OF, UH, THREE YEARS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WORK WITH T COLE, WE GET ALL OUR CURRICULUM, UH, WE GET THE PERSONNEL IN PLACE, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH PERSONNEL.
UH, BUT I'VE ASSIGNED LIEUTENANT MARK FREEMAN AS THE NEW COMMANDER OF THE POLICE ACADEMY, AND HE'S BEEN CHARGED WITH RESEARCHING, DEVELOPING A PLAN TO ESTABLISH OUR OWN BASIC PEACE OFFICER COURSE TO ENSURE THAT, UH, BAYTOWN PEACE OFFICERS ARE GIVEN QUALITY TRAINING, RECEIVE ALL LOCAL POLICY AND ORDINANCE TRAINING PRIOR TO GRADUATING, RECEIVE THEIR DRIVER'S TRAINING, THEIR FARMS TRAINING, AND EVERYTHING THAT THEY NEED, SO THAT THE DAY THAT THEY GRADUATE THE ACADEMY, THEY CAN HAVE TWO DAYS OFF.
AND THEN THEY CAN BEGIN THEIR FIELD TRAINING, REDUCING THE TIME THAT IT TAKES TO HIRE A POLICE OFFICER AND PUT THEM ON THE ROAD PROBABLY BY ABOUT, I'M, I'M THINKING SIX MONTHS.
WOULD YOU THINK THAT'S A, A REALISTIC IF, IF NOT EARLIER THAN THAT? SO, UM, UM, SO THAT, SO OUR DEADLINE IS, IS THREE YEARS.
UH, BUT WE ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE TRAINED ACCORDING TO THE CULTURE THAT WE'RE ESTABLISHING NOW AND THE DIRECTION THAT WE'RE MOVING, AND THAT IT'S NOT TAINTED BY OTHER PERSONNEL IN AN EIGHT MONTH ACADEMY.
[00:35:02]
AND HE IS ALSO EVALUATING AND STREAMLINING THE BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS AND ONBOARDING OF NEW EMPLOYEES BECAUSE OUR PERSONNEL UNIT, UH, REPORTS, THEY DO ALL OF OUR BACKGROUND.AND, UM, RIGHT NOW WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN STREAMLINE THAT PROCESS SO THAT WE, SOME OF THE APPLICANTS DURING THE PROCESS THAT SOMEBODY ELSE DOESN'T PICK 'EM UP.
SO, UH, AND I'D ALSO LIKE TO UPDATE OUR CERTIFICATIONS WITH OUR PERSONNEL.
UH, WE NOW HAVE AT LAST OFFICIAL COUNT, 97 MASTERPIECE OFFICERS.
THE LAST TIME I DISCUSSED IT WITH THE, UH, WITH THE COMMITTEE.
AND JUST REAL QUICK, JUST REMIND ME, MINIMUM, MINIMUM, MINIMUM STANDARDS ON THAT IS WHAT? MINIMUM OF 1200 ADDITIONAL TRAINING HOURS AS WELL AS TIME AND SERVICE? UH, YOU'RE LOOKING, I THINK IT'S, UH, EIGHT YEARS MINIMUM.
AS LONG AS YOU HAVE A COLLEGE DEGREE.
IF YOU HAVE A COLLEGE DEGREE, THEN THERE'S SOME STIPULATIONS THAT IT CAN DROP DOWN.
SO, SO OVER HALF OF OUR, OVER HALF OF OUR PATROL OF OUR OFFICERS ARE MASTER MASTERPIECE OFFICERS.
UH, WE ALSO DEGREE BACHELOR'S OR ASSOCIATES.
WELL, THEN A BACHELOR'S IS EVEN, EVEN LESS TIME.
SO LIKE WITH A BACHELOR'S, YOU CAN, AND YOU HIT THAT 1200 HOURS MARK, UH, YOU CAN GET IT, I THINK IN FIVE YEARS.
YOU KNOW, DON'T QUOTE ME ON IT WITHOUT THE INFORMATION.
WHAT ABOUT AN ASSOCIATE'S, BECAUSE AT TWO YEAR DEGREE IS, IS WHAT THEY FINISHED AT A CC, RIGHT? YES.
UM, SO THE ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE DOESN'T REALLY HAVE A BIG IMPACT.
UM, THE ADVANCED, UH, PEACE OFFICER STATUS, WE ARE AT 29 NOW, WHICH IS UP FROM 22.
THE LAST TIME, UH, WE DISCUSSED IT.
THAT'S A, THAT'S A MINIMUM OF 800 ADDITIONAL TRAINING HOURS.
UM, AND OF COURSE TIME AND SERVICE AS WELL.
AND THAT ALSO IS IMPACTED BY, UH, BY COLLEGE EDUCATION.
BUT YOU ROLL, YOU CAN ROLL IN YOUR HOURS INTO YOUR, INTO THAT 1200 HOURS.
SO WHAT WAS THE NUMBER ON THE ADVANCED? HOW MANY TRAINING HOURS? 29.
UM, AND THEN THE INTERMEDIATE PEACE OFFICERS, WE HAVE 16, WHICH IS UP FROM 11, AND THAT'S AN ADDITIONAL 400 HOURS OF TRACK.
SO FOUR, I'M SORRY, FOR INTERMEDIATE, INTERMEDIATE, ADDITIONAL.
UM, SO WE'RE CONTINUING TO PUSH THAT IN, UH, ADVANCE THAT WE HAD SOME LIEUTENANTS WHO CAME ON THAT, UH, WERE PROMOTED NOT TOO LONG AFTER I GOT HERE.
AND THEY BEGAN TO INVEST IN THEIR, THEIR OFFICERS ON SHIFT AND, AND ASKING, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE BEEN HERE FOR X AMOUNT OF YEARS, HOW COME YOU HAVEN'T GOTTEN YOUR ADVANCE OR YOUR MASTERPIECE OFFICERS? AND THEY ACTUALLY SAT DOWN AND DEVELOPED A PLAN WITH THEM, UH, FOR CAREER DEVELOPMENT TO GET THEM TO THOSE MILESTONES.
SO IT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE NEEDED, BUT WE WANTED IT'S ENGAGED LEADERSHIP AND, AND IT IMPACTS TRAINING
UM, YOU KIND OF STOLE SOME OF MY THUNDER ON THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH, BUT, UM, SO AS YOU KNOW, WE DO HAVE NATIONAL NIGHT OUT, WHICH IS COMING UP OCTOBER 4TH.
WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.
IT'S GOING TO BE DONE, UH, AS IT HAS TRADITIONALLY BEEN DONE.
UM, BUT WE WILL HAVE THE TOWN SQUARE CITIZEN APPRECIATION EVENT, WHICH IS SET IN ORGANIZED WITH DISPLAYS AND ENTERTAINMENT.
UH, MUCH LIKE LAST YEAR'S NATIONAL NIGHT OUT WAS FOR NOVEMBER 5TH.
UM, OUR PERSONNEL PUT A LOT OF HARD WORK AND EXTRA HOURS INTO IT.
UM, I'D LIKE TO TO RECOGNIZE CORPORAL
AND, UM, HE HAD A LOT OF, A LOT OF FRUSTRATION INVOLVED WITH IT, AND I KNOW YOU DID, AND I WANNA RECOGNIZE THAT OTHER PEOPLE ON THE RECORD, UM, INFORMATION.
I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR LEADERSHIP, SO THANK YOU.
UM, AND YOU LEARN PATIENCE
EVERY SINGLE DAY PROGRESS PRACTICE.
UM, OUR COMMUNITY SERVICES BUREAUS HOSTED OR PARTICIPATED IN COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND COMMUNITY POLICING EVENTS.
UH, AND THESE INCLUDE BACK TO SCHOOL EVENTS, THE COFFEE WITH A COP, UH, SAFETY PRESENTATIONS THAT HAVE PROVIDED A, A, A CONTACT WITH TOTAL ESTIMATED 1,770 CITIZENS ACROSS ALL OF THESE EVENTS IN THE MONTH OF AUGUST.
SO THEY HAVE REALLY BEEN WORKING HARD.
UM, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF OVERTIME INVOLVED WITH THIS.
THEY GIVE UP A LOT OF THEIR WEEKENDS AND, UH, IN SOME CASES, UM, THEIR WHOLE WEEKEND.
SO, UM, AND THEY'RE STARTING TO GET PARTICIPATION FROM PATROL TOO, WHICH IS WHAT WE LAUNCH WITH SOME OF THESE EVENTS.
SO THAT MEANS, IN MY ESTIMATION, THAT WE ARE BEGINNING TO SEE THE CULTURAL SHIFT OKAY.
GROUP AND IS CONTINUING TO, UH, BE REINFORCED.
[00:40:01]
SO, UM, AND OF COURSE, WITH SCHOOL AND SESSION, WE'RE ALSO RESUMING DARE CLASSES FOR ALL THE FIFTH GRADERS.THEY'VE STARTED NOW, RIGHT? THAT'S WE'RE, WE'RE IN THE FOURTH.
UM, THE ATOS TEAM IS ATTENDING A MEETING, UH, TODAY AND TOMORROW, UH, IN PLANO, TEXAS, UH, WITH THEIR TEAM TO OBSERVE AND RECEIVE, UH, ON THE JOB TRAINING AND SEE HOW THEIR TOWN HALL MEETINGS GO.
AND, UH, AND I DON'T KNOW, ARE THEY GONNA GO OUT AND RIDE AS WELL, THE DURING THE DAY TOMORROW? I'M NOT SURE I THAT, NO, I'M NOT A HUNDRED PERCENT SURE.
NOW, I THINK RENEE SAID THEY WERE GOING TO, BUT, UM, I KNOW THEY'RE GONNA HAVE SOME GOOD CONTACT AND SOME GOOD EXPERIENCE.
UM, MAYBE BRING BACK SOME GOOD IDEAS ON HOW WE CAN, CAN REALLY GET THIS THING SPUN UP AND MOVING FAST.
UM, BUT WE'VE ALSO BEGUN WORKING WITH DRIVER'S EDUCATION SCHOOLS IN THE LOCAL AREA TO HAVE OUR OFFICERS GO IN AND SPEAK TO, ESPECIALLY YOUNG DRIVERS AND INEXPERIENCED DRIVERS SO THAT THEY UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHAT IS EXPECTED OF YOU.
THIS IS HOW TO HAVE A TRA SAFE TRAFFIC STOP.
IF YOU ARE, UH, YOU KNOW, IF YOU ARE STOPPED, THESE ARE THE THINGS YOU SHOULD DO, BE PREPARED FOR.
UH, A LOT OF THE SCHOOLS HAVE THAT ON A VIDEO, BUT WHAT I ASKED WAS, LET'S USE THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE SOME BACK AND FORTH EXCHANGE, ESPECIALLY WITH A, A, UH, POLICE OFFICER IN UNIFORM.
UM, AND I ACTUALLY GOT THE IDEA FROM A VIDEO THAT I SAW, AND IT SHOWS A, UH, UH, A WHITE POLICE OFFICER AT NINE STOP A, UH, YOUNG AFRICAN AMERICAN MALE, AND IT SPLITS AND YOU SEE TWO DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES.
YOU SEE THE YOUNG MAN WHO'S SCARED, YOU SEE THE OFFICER WHO IS SCARED AND DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S WALKING UP ON.
AND, UH, IT PULLS BACK AND IT SHOWS THEM SITTING AT A RESTAURANT DRINKING COFFEE.
AND HE SAYS, I DON'T WANNA HURT YOU, MAN.
HE TELLS HIM, I WANT YOU TO BE SAFE, AND I WANT YOU TO DRIVE SAFE.
AND, UM, SO I THOUGHT, WHY AREN'T WE DOING THAT ON THE FRONT END OF SOME OF OUR, OUR CONVERSATIONS AND INTERACTIONS? SO, UM, ESPECIALLY WITH 11 DRIVERS.
UM, SO THAT'S A NEW INITIATIVE THAT YOU'VE IMPLEMENTED MM-HMM
UM, AND I ACTUALLY THINK, UH, CHIEF OFFERS THE ONE WHO'S DOING THAT, AND HE, SO YES.
WHICH MEANS HE'LL TALK THEIR EAR OFF, BUT NICE.
IT IS, YOU THINK I TALK, BUT, SO, UM, HE'S A BAPTIST DEACON
I'M SORRY, DID I SAY THAT OUT LOUD? IO.
BUT YEAH, WE, WE, WE, WE WANT YOUNG DRIVERS TO FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE WITH OFFICERS.
UH, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SPEAK TO THIS OR NOT, BUT I CAN REMEMBER BEING A PATROL OFFICER AND FINDING MYSELF IN A PURSUIT WITH SOMEONE BECAUSE THEY WERE A YOUNG DRIVER AND THEY JUST GOT SCARED.
AND IT WASN'T BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THE POLICE WERE GONNA HURT 'EM OR ANYTHING.
IT WAS, OH MY GOSH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
YOU KNOW, MY PARENTS ARE GONNA KILL ME AND GOTTA MAKE IT TO THE HOUSE.
LISTEN, ESPECIALLY, YOU KNOW, YOUNGER DRIVERS, DO WE REALLY NEED TO WRITE YOU A TICKET OR CAN WE JUST GET YOU TO SLOW DOWN AND DRIVE SAFE? THAT'S THE WHOLE GOAL OF IT.
SO, UM, UH, WE'RE CONTINUING TO STRENGTHEN OUR PARTNERSHIPS WITH, UH, G-C-C-I-S-D.
UM, WE'RE IMPROVING RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE STUDENTS AS WELL.
OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE WORKING ON A MENTORING PROGRAM WITH THEM, AND THAT'S STILL UNDERWAY, UH, GETTING IT SET UP.
BUT, UH, WE'RE, WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE INCLUDE THEM AS COMMUNITY PARTNERS IN SAFETY AND SECURITY.
UH, WE'VE BEGUN A LOT OF INFORMATION SHARING BETWEEN THEIR POLICE DEPARTMENT HOURS, AND THEY HAVE ACTUALLY, UM, THEY HAVE KEY CARDS FOR ALL OF OUR OFFICERS THAT ARE ON PATROL.
SO IF THERE IS AN INCIDENT AT A SCHOOL, WHETHER IT'S A, UH, A MASS SHOOTER OR JUST AN OFFICER NEEDS ASSISTANCE IN SUBDUING, SOMEONE THAT WE CAN GET IN WITHOUT HAVING TO WAIT FOR SOMEBODY TO BUS THIS IN.
SO, UM, SO THAT'S A KEY CARD FOR THE SCHOOLS.
IT'S ISSUED, IT'LL BE ISSUED BY THE SCHOOLS TO OUR OFFICERS, AND SO TO ALL OFFICERS, OUR, UH, UH, UNIFORM PATROL OFFICERS.
SO WHERE I CAME FROM, WE ACTUALLY HAD THAT ALL POLICE PERSONNEL HAD A, A SCHOOL ID AND A, AND A ACCESS CART, JUST IN CASE SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPENS.
SO, UM, AND THEN WE HAVE, UH, G***O FEST COMING UP AT THE END OF THE MONTH, UH, TOWN SQUARE.
WE'LL BE, UH, PARTICIPATING IN THAT.
UM, WE HAVE ANOTHER COFFEE WITH A COP AT, UH, CHICK-FIL-A ON I 10.
AND JOHN MARTIN, AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, SOME OF THESE BUSINESSES ARE CALLING AND REQUESTING YES.
[00:45:01]
YES.CHICK-FIL-A HAS BEEN ASKING FOR A WHILE.
SO THE NEW ONE, SO THAT IN SALE.
UH, I'M STARTING TO LEARN THE CITY LIMITS.
SO, UM, UNIDOS, UH, FIRST TOWN HALL MEETING IS THE 25TH.
UH, THE DOORS OPEN AT 6:00 PM UH, YEAH, YOU STOLE MY THUNDER ON THAT ONE TOO.
UH, AND THEN ON THE 29TH, THE FALL FESTIVAL AT ABIDING CHURCH, ABIDING FAITH CHURCH ON JOHN MARTIN.
UM, WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOME OFFICERS RIDE BY AND SPEND SOME TIME WITH THE KIDS, LET THEM CHECK OUT OUR VEHICLES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
UH, WE HAVE THE DRUG TAPE BACK, WHICH IS COMING UP ON THE 29TH AS WELL.
UH, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TWO LOCATIONS AGAIN.
WE'RE GONNA TRY THAT ONE MORE TIME AND SEE HOW THAT WORKS.
UM, ONE IS GOING TO BE AT, UH, AND IT'S GONNA BE BETWEEN 10:00 PM AND TWO OR 10:00 AM AND 2:00 PM AND IT'S, UH, 1515 NORTH ALEXANDER AT THE WALGREENS.
AND THEN, UM, 72 16 GARTH AT WALGREENS.
I THOUGHT WE WERE DOING ONE OF THESE AT, UH, WALMART.
IT WAS, IT WAS, IT WAS WALGREENS.
SO WE'RE STILL DOING WALGREENS.
WAL, WHAT EVENT IS THIS? HMM? WHAT EVENT IS THIS? DRUG TAKE BACK? DRUG TAKE BACK PRESCRIPTION.
YEAH, PRESCRIPTION DRUG TAKE BACK.
UM, LIKE, WAIT A MINUTE,
BECAUSE THEY'LL PUT A IN CONTAINER, YOU KNOW, WHAT IF IT GETS IT OFF THE STREET.
AND THEN, UH, ON THE 29TH AS WELL, TREATS ON THE TRAIL AT PIRATE BAY FROM FIVE 30 TO EIGHT 30, COME GET SOME CANDY FROM US.
AND THEN, UH, THE CITIZEN APPRECIATION THAT, UH, IT'S 11 TO TO FOUR.
SO, UM, AND EXCUSE ME FOR REPEATING SOME OF THE STUFF THAT WE HAD ALREADY TALKED ABOUT, UH, POLICY AND PROCEDURE.
UH, I HAVE ASKED, UH, I ASKED THE OFFICE OF PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS TO HAVE TEXAS POLICE CHIEFS ASSOCIATION ACCREDITATION ASSESSORS COME IN AND CONDUCT A MOCK, UH, ASSESSMENT BECAUSE WE HAVE OUR ON SITE COMING UP IN NOVEMBER FOR, UH, ACCREDITATION AND BEST PRACTICES.
WE IDENTIFIED TWO AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT ON, UH, EQUIPMENT, INVENTORY CHECKS THAT, UH, THAT WERE IMPLEMENTED THE FOLLOWING DAY.
IT WASN'T AN EGREGIOUS ERROR, BUT IT WAS SOMETHING THAT, UH, WE NEEDED TO MAKE SURE WE GOT TAKEN CARE OF.
SO, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY WE PARTICIPATED IN THE ACCREDITATION TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DOING WHAT WE SAY WE'RE DOING.
SO, YOU KNOW, I CAME FROM A CLEA AGENCY, AND ACCREDITATION IS BASICALLY THE SAME THING, ALMOST THE SAME STANDARDS, BUT IT'S SPECIFIC TO THE STATE OF TEXAS AND THE LAWS OF TEXAS.
YOU DON'T HAVE SOME BIG NATIONAL ENTITY TELLING YOU THAT YOU'VE GOTTA FIT THEIR POLICY SUGGESTIONS INTO THE WAY THINGS ARE DONE AND THE, THE LAWS AND STUFF.
I MEAN, IT'S, ACCREDITATION IS THE SAME THING.
IT REDUCES LIABILITY, YOU KNOW, SO, UM, AND IT MAKES, YOU KNOW, IT KEEPS YOU ON THIS.
SO, UH, SO AFTER WE RECEIVE RE-ACCREDITATION, UM, WE WILL BEGIN A DETAILED REVIEW OF ALL POLICIES TO ENSURE THAT THEY MEET OR EXCEED BEST PRACTICES.
AND IF THERE'S ANY THAT NEED TO BE CHANGED BECAUSE OF, UH, RESTRUCTURING WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT, NEW DIVISIONS OR UNITS THAT ARE CREATED, THAT WE GET THOSE UPDATED AND I WANT TO BEGIN PUBLISHING THEM ON, UH, ONLINE FOR EVERYBODY TO BE ABLE TO PULL UP AND REAP.
SO, UH, AND THAT'S JUST PART OF THE, UH, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THIS IS PART OF THE, UH, STRATEGIC PLAN.
IT, IT FITS INTO THAT WITH TRANSPARENCY AND LEGITIMACY, COMMUNITY POLICING AND OUTREACH.
UM, WHICH OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING FOR OFFICER WELLNESS AND MENTAL HEALTH FOR OUR CITIZENS AS WELL.
SO, UM, WE'RE COMING UP ON, UH, ON THE END OF, YOU KNOW, MY FIRST YEAR HERE, UH, A COUPLE OF MONTHS OF THAT WAS SPENT STUDYING AND GETTING LICENSED IN TEXAS.
SO WE'RE REALLY, YOU KNOW, PROBABLY SAY THE LAST THREE OR FOUR MONTHS, SIX MONTHS, WE'VE REALLY HIT THE GROUND RUNNING HARD.
SO, UM, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO, UH, PHASE TWO OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN THAT WE'RE GOING TO IMPLEMENT.
ANY COMMENTS? QUESTION FROM THE COMMITTEE? I HAVE A QUESTION.
SO I DID HAVE A CITIZEN ASK ME THIS, AND I, I DUNNO THE ANSWER.
SO, JUVENILE INTERVENTION OR WHAT THEY CALL SCARE 'EM STRAIGHT, UM, I DON'T BELIEVE WE HAVE A PROGRAM IN BAYTOWN FOR THAT.
UM, IS THERE ANY THOUGHT TO HOW THAT COULD BE ADDRESSED? UH, I'LL TELL YOU, I DON'T BELIEVE IN THE SCARE SCARED STRAIGHT.
UH, STUDIES THINGS THAT I'VE READ, UH, REALLY WHAT IT DOES IS IT, IT GIVES YOU, IT GIVES CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTIONS OR WHATNOT AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME IN AND TRY TO SCARE THE KIDS IN A VERY SHORT
[00:50:01]
AMOUNT OF TIME.I MEAN, TALK ABOUT TRAUMATIZING PEOPLE, RIGHT? GETTING IN THEIR FACE, YELLING AND SCREAMING AT 'EM.
I REALLY THINK THE OPTION IS WE NEED TO SIT DOWN AND GET TO THE PROBLEM.
UM, I UNDERSTAND SCARED STRAIGHT CAME FROM, AND WHEN I WAS A YOUNGER POLICE OFFICER AND POLICE SUPERVISOR, I THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT.
UM, BECAUSE I SAW SOME OF THE VIDEOS ON IT, I THOUGHT, WELL, THAT WOULD WORK FOR ME, BUT I DON'T COME FROM THE SAME BACKGROUND THAT THOSE, THOSE YOUTHS DID.
UM, I, I THINK IT INVOLVES MUCH MORE TIME.
UM, I WOULD RATHER US DO, LIKE WE'RE PLANNING ON DOING WITH THE HIGH SCHOOLS TO BE ABLE TO SIT DOWN AND TALK.
AND IF WE'VE GOTTA TALK ALL AFTERNOON, THE RAPPORT, LET'S DO IT.
YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE MAY BE THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT LISTEN TO SOME OF THESE YOUNG MEN.
THEY MAY NOT BE GETTING AT HOME.
THEY MAY NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DOING IT IN SCHOOL.
AND EVEN THOSE WHO, UH, WHO OFTEN LOOK AT THE POLICE WITH, YOU KNOW, DISTRUST, WE'LL, WE'LL ACTUALLY TALK TO YOU.
UM, IT'S A WEIRD DYNAMIC, I THINK.
UM, BUT, UH, OUR SRO UNIT WHERE I CAME FROM, THE STUDENTS WOULD GO TALK TO THE, THE OFFICERS BEFORE THEY WOULD THEIR OWN SCHOOL COUNSELORS.
WHAT DOES THAT STAND FOR? I'M SORRY.
YEAH, IT'S BEEN, IT'S HUNDRED PERCENT TRUE BECAUSE I USED TO WORK, I USED TO BE SRO HERE AT THE, UH, BEFORE IT WAS CALLED THE PO IT WAS CALLED, UH, THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY GUIDANCE CENTER USED BEYOND DECKER DRIVE.
AND, UH, I WAS STATIONED THERE AND JUST LIKE YOU SAID, I WOULD'VE STUDENTS COME TO ME ASK ME BEFORE THEY WENT TO THE COUNSELOR OR EVEN THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE.
AND THIS IS, THESE ARE KIDS THAT ARE REALLY, YOU KNOW, JUST GOT KICKED OUT OF THE MAIN CAMPUS GOING TO THIS, GOING TO THIS SCHOOL.
SO I REALLY, I REALLY DID ENJOY WORKING AT THAT SCHOOL.
AND, YOU KNOW, YOU GOTTA, AND I WISH THAT WE WERE IN A SITUATION WHERE WE COULD ACTUALLY HAVE SROS.
UM, THAT'S THE ONE ASSIGNMENT I'LL JUST CONFESS THAT I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHEN I WAS COMING UP THROUGH THE RANKS.
UM, I LOVE HELPING PEOPLE AND BOY, WHAT AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT AND MAKE AN IMPACT ON SOMEBODY'S LIFE.
UH, BUT THEY ARE, THEY'RE ROCK STARS.
THE, THE GOOD ONES, THEY'RE ROCK STARS WITH THESE, UH, WITH THESE STUDENTS.
UM, SO YEAH, I MEAN, I KNOW I'VE SAID A LOT TO SAY THIS.
I JUST THINK THAT THERE'S A BETTER WAY OF DOING IT.
UM, SO THAT WOULD BE LIKE ONE OFFICER OF EACH CAMPUS MAYBE? UH, YEAH.
THE, THE WAY WE DID IT WAS EVERY HIGH SCHOOL HAD TWO AND HAD TWO, UH, MIDDLE SCHOOLS HAD, UH, IF WE COULD, THEY HAD TWO, AND THEN WE KIND OF SWAPPED, UM, WE ZONED OUT ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.
UM, BUT THERE WAS A PLAN TO PUT ONE IN EVERY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LONG TIMES SINCE WE'VE HAD 'EM IN.
THAT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING THAT MAYBE D WORKS NOW.
SO YEAH, YOU GOT THE SCHOOLS MAYBE SOMETHING TO CONSIDER EXPANDING IN THE FUTURE TO DISCUSS AS TO ADVISE COUNCIL.
THE, WE USED TO HAVE TWO TWO IN HIGH SCHOOLS AND THEN EXPAND THAT.
WELL, THE, THE, THE SCHOOL SYSTEM IS ACTUALLY EXPANDING THEIR, THEIR RANKS AND THEY'RE HIRING MORE POLICE OFFICERS.
THE ISSUE WITH US NOW IS THAT WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CONTINUE THIS LIAISON THAT WE KNOW CHIEF DAVID SMITH IS A VERY GOOD MAN.
UH, WE HAD A, AN INCIDENT THAT, UH, WE WERE AFRAID MIGHT OCCUR AND, UH, CALLED AND TALKED TO HIM.
AND, YOU KNOW, HE, HE SAID, LOOK, CHIEF, HE SAID, I'M WITH YOU.
LET'S, LET'S GET OUR OFFICERS TOGETHER.
UH, I KNOW YOU GOT BABIES IN THESE SCHOOLS AND I'M GONNA TAKE CARE OF 'EM.
ALRIGHTYY, ANY, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMITTEE TO CHIEF STRINGER ON THIS BUSINESS ITEM? ALRIGHTYY? WELL THEN WE'RE GONNA BE MOVING ON TO MARKED ON IT
[5. NEXT MEETING]
ITEM FIVE A AND THAT IS THE NEXT MEETING.CONSIDER SETTING DATE, TIME, AND LOCATION FOR THE NEXT BAYTOWN POLICE ADVISORY COMMITTEE, ALONG WITH ANY RELATED TASK OR PROCESSES TO INCLUDE, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE ELECTION OF NEW OFFICERS OR CHAIRPERSON, VICE CHAIRPERSON WITH THE NEW, UH, UH, ELECTION PROCEDURES.
ALSO TO CONDUCT TEAM BUILDING EXERCISE WITH THE MEMBERS OF THE BAYTOWN POLICE ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO REVIEW PURPOSE AND BUCKETS OF CONCERN, AND THEN ALSO RECEIVE TRAINING ON THE TEXAS OPEN MEETINGS ACT.
SO, UH, I WILL DEFER TO CITY CLERK'S OFFICE ON THE DATE.
IS THERE ANY DATES THAT ARE, THAT ARE AT CONFLICT WITH OUR, THE NORMAL SCHEDULE FOR BASED ON POLICE COMMITTEE.
AND IF THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR AN OUTSIDE VENUE, JUST COMMUNICATE WITH YOU AND SECURE THAT AND GO FROM THERE.
SO I HAVE OCTOBER 25TH IS THE NEXT ONE.
[00:55:03]
UNLESS WE FINISH BY 7 37I HAVE TO, IF WE HURRY UP HERE, WE'LL, WE'LL BE OUTTA HERE BY SEVEN, THEN YOU CAN GO TO TOWN HALL.
UM, ANYTHING FROM, SO THE TUESDAY OF THE FOURTH WEEK IN OCTOBER IS OCTOBER 18TH.
OR OCTOBER THE 25TH? OCTOBER 18TH IS OUR REGULAR MEETING.
UHUH THE LAST, THE LAST TUESDAY OF THE MONTH IS OUR NORMAL, NORMAL MEETING.
WE MOVE THIS ONE UP BECAUSE OF CITY COUNCIL.
OH, SO THE 25TH IS THE SAME NIGHT AS THE EXACTLY AS
SO WILL WE MOVE THAT UP TO THE 18TH THEN, OR I DEFER TO Y'ALL SINCE I WILL, SINCE I WILL NOT BE, I'LL TELL YOU, I'VE, I'VE GOT TRAINING IN DALLAS, UH, THAT WEEK, SO I, BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ELECTIONS ANYWAY AND SOME OF THE OTHER STUFF.
JUST WANTED TO LET Y'ALL KNOW IF OUR AGENDA WASN'T SPECIFIC TOWARDS YOURS.
REPORT AS ALWAYS, COULD ONE OF THE ACS BE HERE JUST IN CASE THERE'S SOMETHING? AS LONG AS THERE'S NO SCHEDULING CONFLICT, IT IT, I'M GONNA PUT IT OUT ON THE TABLE FOR DISCUSSION.
IS IT ANYBODY AT, AT DIFFERENT FOR THAT OCTOBER 18TH MEETING? I'M GOOD.
I ALMOST THOUGHT IT WAS THE THIRD THURSDAY.
IT'S THE TUESDAY OF THE FOURTH WEEK.
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE ZERO ON THAT DAY? HOW IS IT? WELL, WE'RE JUST GONNA PUT SOMETHING.
SO ALL IN FAVOR OF CHANGING THE MEETING TO OCTOBER 18TH AT SIX O'CLOCK? OR I GUESS I NEED A MOTION TO ACCEPT.
LET ME BACK UP AND GET THIS ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDER.
A MOTION TO CHANGE THE OCTOBER MEETING TO THE THIRD TUESDAY OF THE MONTH.

IT IS CARRIED OCTOBER THE 18TH AT 6:00 PM AND TENTATIVE TO BE HERE AT SENATE CITY HALL, UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED.
AND CHIEF, DOES THAT MEAN OUR THOUGHT NOVEMBER, OUR NOVEMBER MEETINGS ON THE 22ND THEN? NO, IT WILL NOT BE ON THE 20.
NO, THAT WILL NOT, THAT'S THE WEEK OF THANKSGIVING.
SO WHAT, WHAT WOULD THE MEETING DATE BE? PROBABLY HAVE TO CHANGE IT PREVIOUSLY, BUT THAT THAT'LL BE DETERMINED IN NEXT, NEXT NIGHT.
WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT ON THE NEXT ALRIGHTYY FOOTBALL GAME THAT NIGHT.
ARE THERE ANY ITEMS THAT NEED TO BE PUT ONTO THE AGENDA THAT HAS NOT ALREADY BEEN SPECIFIED? OKAY, SO THIS IS YOUR LAST TIME.
SO, AND WE MAY, WE'RE NOT, WE'RE STILL UP IN THE AIR.
SO WITH THAT IN MIND, BEFORE I MOVE ON TO THE LAST ITEM, I WANNA SAY IT HAS BEEN A PRIVILEGE AND AN HONOR TO SERVE ON THIS COMMITTEE AND, UH, TO GET TO KNOW THOSE THAT I DID NOT KNOW BEFOREHAND.
AND TO WELCOME CHIEF STRINGER ON BOARD WITH US IN THIS, STARTING THIS UNDER CHIEF DOHERTY BEFORE HE ANNOUNCED RIGHT AS HE ANNOUNCED HIS RETIREMENT.
ALSO TO WORK WITH CHIEF HOLDEN AND THEN NOW TO WORK WITH CHIEF STRINGER, LIEUTENANT DORIS, LIEUTENANT OSA, DIFFERENT ONES THAT HAVE BEEN INVOLVED.
AND, UH, I CONSIDER AN HONOR TO REPRESENT DISTRICT FIVE.
FIRST OF ALL, MR. BOB HOSKINS, HE APPOINTED ME AND NOW, UH, COMMIT, UH, COUNCILMAN POWELL.
AND SO, UH, LIKE I TOLD, UH, ANGELA AND SHE ASKED ME, SAID, WHAT, WHAT'S MY PLANS? I SAID, WELL, I, I FEEL LIKE I HAVE NOW HAVE A, UH, UNFETTERED, UH, RESTRICTIONS ON BEING ABLE TO GO BACK AND BE A POLICE CHAPLAIN AND, UH, POLICE CHAPLAIN AND, AND FIRE CHAPLAIN.
SO, UH, I'VE, UH, I'VE MISSED BEING MORE ACTIVELY INVOLVED WITH THAT AND, UH, LOOK FORWARD TO DOING THAT.
