[00:00:23]
UH, I NOW CALL THE, UH, BAYTOWN POLICE ADVISOR COMMITTEE MEETING TO ORDER AND, UH, ANNOUNCE THAT WE HAVE A QUORUM.
UH, FIRST ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS THE MINUTES.
WE WILL CONSIDER APPROVING THE MINUTES OF THE BAYTOWN POLICE ADVISOR COMMITTEE MEETING HELD ON OCTOBER 18TH, 2022.
UH, ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? ALL IN FAVOR? A.
UH, SECOND ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS CITIZEN INPUT.
I DON'T THINK WE HAVE ANY CITIZEN INPUT.
IS THERE ANY CITIZEN INPUT? OKAY.
UH, WE WILL MOVE TO THE THIRD ITEM ON THE AGENDA, WHICH IS COMMUNITY INPUT.
UH, WE WILL RECEIVE ANY COMMUNITY INPUT OBTAINED BY THE BAYTOWN POLICE ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING? SISTER, WILL YOU INSERT? WE'LL, NO, WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT FURTHER DOWN.
UH, ITEM NUMBER FOUR ON THE AGENDA, BUSINESS ITEMS, UH, WE WILL DISCUSS AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE BAYTOWN POLICE ADVISORY COMMITTEE'S BUCKET OF CONCERNS TO INCLUDE, BUT NOT LIMITED TO MENTAL ILLNESS, TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT AND POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT.
SO DID WE AGREE TO REVISIT THE BUCKETS VIA THE WORKSHOP, OR ARE WE GOING TO DO IT VIA JUST HAVING CONVERSATION? UH, NO, YOU ARE GOING TO BE MEETING WITH, UH, THE SAME PERSON THAT CONDUCTED IT BEFORE.
MS. JAMIE OVER PROBABLY GONNA BE DOING IT OVER AT THE LIBRARY AGAIN.
UM, YEAH, I THINK THAT'S AT THE, IN AGENDA SIX, WE HAVE THAT ON HERE.
SO, I MEAN, THAT, THAT'S, THAT'S WHERE WE DEVELOPED THE ORIGINAL BUCKETS OF CONCERNS.
SO I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH, UH, CONVERSATION WE CAN ALREADY HAVE ABOUT IT WITHOUT THAT.
SO I WOULD, I WOULD SAY THAT WE SHOULD JUST, UH, MARK THAT AS AN ITEM, BUT WE'LL BE DISCUSSING IT MORE IN THE WORKSHOP, I THINK.
BUT YOU CAN ALSO, I MEAN, IF YOU ALREADY KNOW OF SOMETHING, YOU COULD MENTION IT NOW AND THEN WE COULD LET JAMIE KNOW AHEAD OF TIME.
BUT IT'S TOTALLY UP TO YOU GUYS ON HOW YOU WANT TO DO IT.
I MEAN, I JUST, I'M REALLY INTO POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT WITH THE COMMUNITY ITEM WAS MORE ABOUT BRINGING THE NEWER MEMBERS UP TO DATE.
AND WE EMAILED THE ACTUAL LIST TO EVERYONE.
SO IF I CAN SPEAK A LITTLE BIT, ENDORSE THIS WAS, UM, WE GOT TOGETHER AS WHEN THE FIRST FORMED A COMMITTEE WITH A GROUP AT THE LIBRARY AND THERE WAS A, A TEAMING FACILITATOR TEAM TOGETHER.
BASICALLY THE IDEA WAS, WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO? WHAT ARE WE GONNA FOCUS ON? WHAT ARE THE AREAS THAT WE SHOULD FOCUS WITH? AND THAT'S WHAT WE DETERMINED THEN.
SO NOW WE'RE GONNA SIT DOWN AND, AND AFTER TWO YEARS, WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED SOME, WE'VE ADDRESSED SOME, WE WANNA SIT DOWN AND LOOK AT DO THOSE STILL HOLD TRUE? DO WE NEED TO ADD ADDITIONAL THINGS? SO IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, IT'S JUST BASICALLY WHAT DO WE WANT TO ACCOMPLISH THE NEXT TWO YEARS? AND THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA BE DOING IN THE LIBRARY SPECIFICALLY.
BUT IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE, I MEAN, YOU CAN THINK ABOUT BETWEEN NOW AND THEN, UM, ANYBODY ON THE COMMITTEE CAN BRING FORTH ANY IDEA.
BUT I JUST, IT JUST, THAT'S THE IDEA.
WHAT, WHAT DO WE NEED TO FOCUS ON? WHAT DO WE NEED TO BE DOING AS CITIZENS? SO THAT'S WHAT IT'S OKAY.
AND, UH, THE FIRST ONE IS RECEIVING AN UPDATE REGARDING THE COMMUNITY'S PARTICIPATION AT THE CITIZENS APPRECIATION DAY EVENT.
I CAN KICK IT OFF AND THEN JUNE CAN FINISH IT OFF.
SO WE, WE WERE OUT THERE, UH, WE HAVE A BANNER NOW, UH, ACTUALLY AT MY HOUSE.
SO, UH, IF AND, AND THEN ANY PICTURES.
UM, THERE WERE SOME PICTURES TAKEN, UH, BOTH FROM THE CITY AND A LOT OF PEOPLE STOPPING BY.
UM, WE HAD A COUPLE OF COUNCIL MEMBERS CAME BY.
WE HAD A NUMBER OF OFFICERS STOP BY AND CITIZENS STOPPED BY, AND THEY JUST TALKED TO EVERYTHING THAT I HEARD.
AND, UM, AND I WAS THERE THAT HOUR.
I SAID I WAS COMING AND I HAD IT ON MY DANG WRONG CALENDAR, ACTUALLY.
SO I, I GOT THERE REALLY EARLY AND I WAS LOOKING AT, THERE'S NOBODY HERE YET.
[00:05:01]
SO, UM, DID THEY CANCEL IT? AND I DON'T KNOW.SO WE HAVE, WE NOW HAVE A BANNER.
I'LL A POP UP, BUT, WE'LL, WE'LL, UM, IF YOU'LL EMAIL THE ANGELA.
SO, UM, BUT I, I, OVERALL ALL THE FEEDBACK WAS POSITIVE.
WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY CITIZEN CAME BY AND, AND GIVE ANY NEGATIVE FEEDBACK AT ALL.
SO, YEAH, THE, IT WAS REALLY GOOD.
SO WE'D ASK THEM, YOU KNOW, IF THERE ARE ANY COMMENTS OR PRAISES OR CRITICISMS THAT THEY HAVE SPECIFIC POLICE ENGAGEMENTS.
AND MY FIRST ONE WAS, OH, POLICE OFFICER CHANGED THE TIRE FOR ME IN MY CAR WHEN I WAS STOPPED IN THE FRONT.
SORRY, YOU'RE GETTING GOOD REVIEWS.
THANK YOU GUYS FOR DOING THAT.
WE HOPE THAT IT'S BETTER ATTENDED, YOU KNOW, BUT THAT'S, THAT'S FIRST GOOD KICKOFF.
I MEAN, SEEMED LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE FROM BAYTOWN WENT, I MEAN, I DIDN'T KNOW HOW BE YOU WERE, THIS, THIS ALMOST SEEMED LIKE A COMPANY PICNIC.
I MEAN, THERE WERE A LOT OF FAMILY MEMBERS OF THE, OF THE WORKERS, THE BAYTOWN CITY WORKERS.
BUT YEAH, MY DAUGHTER, THESE GREAT BIG STUFF, POLICE, WHICH WERE GREAT.
ANYWAY, I SAW A LOT OF KIDS CARRYING THOSE AROUND.
BUT HOW'S THE ADVERTISING GETTING OUT ABOUT EVENT AND THIS NOT, IF I WASN'T HERE, I WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN.
I THINK IT WAS ON THE CITY WEBSITE, PROBABLY THE BAYTOWN SUN.
BUT ABOUT FIVE PEOPLE GET THE BAYTOWN SUN PROBABLY.
I KNOW THAT WE HAVE ADVERTISED THAT FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, EVEN BEFORE THE NATIONAL NIGHT OUT.
'CAUSE WHEN THE EVENT YEAR, YOU KNOW, LAST YEAR GOING BACK, WE HAD NATIONAL NIGHT OUT
SO AS SOON AS WE HEARD THAT MONTHS AGO, WE STARTED ADVERTISING TO DO CITIZENS APPRECIATION.
UH, I MEAN, BUT ANY SUGGESTIONS MORE THAN THAT? THEY CAN GO OUT SOCIAL MEDIA YEARS THAT TO BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT WE, WE POSTED IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
THE ONLY THINGS I COULD THINK OF IS PUT A BANNER OUT IN FRONT OF THE POLICE STATION JUST FOR PEOPLE TO DRIVE BY, WHICH YOU, YOU KNOW, PROBABLY MORE PEOPLE THAN GO TO YOUR WEBSITE DRIVE BY.
ALTHOUGH RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE POLICE STATION, IT'S LIKE A BUNCH OF BUSHES AND TREES.
IF WE HAVE ACCESS TO A BILLBOARD.
I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE ANY FRIENDLY I HAVE THAT YEAR.
OR LET'S LOOK MAYBE 20, 24 EARLY.
THE OTHER THING YOU ONE WITH THE NEW POLICE STATION.
THERE WILL BE A ELECTRONICS SIGN.
OH, THE OTHER THING YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO IS GET THE SCHOOLS TO HAND OUT A FLYER AT LEAST GRADE SCHOOLS.
WHAT'S THE LOGISTICS OF WORKING WITH GOOSE CREEK TO GET THIS? 'CAUSE WHAT, SO I HAVE A LOT OF GRANDCHILDREN AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT.
AND MY, THE KIDS DID KNOW ABOUT IT.
MY GRANDKIDS, THEY TOLD THEIR FRIENDS, SO THEY WERE COMING OUT BECAUSE THE THING THAT JUST THEM WAS, YOU KNOW, WE HAD THE, ALL THE EQUIPMENT OUT THERE AND THEY GOT C AND TOUCH AND PLAY.
SO GETTING INTO GOOSE CREEK WITH SOME NOTIFICATIONS THAT'LL GET IT TO THE PARENTS.
I MEAN, EVEN IF IT'S JUST A SIMPLE FLYER, I JUST DON'T KNOW IF THE LOGISTICS OF GOOSE CREEK ALLOWS THAT, IF THERE'S SOME.
HOW ABOUT THE BACK OF THE WATER BILLS? THE PROBLEM IS SO MANY PEOPLE DO ALL THAT ELECTRONICALLY NOW.
AND NEVER GET A PAPER COPY EXCEPT ME.
SO I GET A PAPER COPY, BUT I DO IT ELECTRONICALLY.
FINDING SOMETHING GETS TO THE PEOPLE HARD.
I JUST DO IT, UH, ELECTRONIC PAYMENT.
BUT I STILL REQUEST A PAPER COPY.
I THOUGHT YOU HAD TO PAY EXTRA IF YOU DID A LOT.
YOU MAY HAVE TO WITH A CREDIT CARD.
DON'T YOU HAVE TO PAY A $2 FEE FOR CREDIT CARD? I THINK IF I DO, THEN IT'S BANK.
TO CHECK AND SEE HOW I, I HAVE ALMOST EVERYTHING ON A BANK DRAFT EXCEPT ONE THING ON A CREDIT CARD THAT I DON'T REMEMBER WHY I DID IT THAT WAY.
BUT WHAT'S SOMETHING LIKE THAT? YEAH.
BUT IF YOU HAVE, UH, ELDERLY PARENTS, THERE'S A RECOMMENDATION THAT'S PROBABLY DOESN'T NEED TO BE IN THE MEETING THAT IT'S, BUT, UH, MY, A COUPLE YEARS AGO, MY FATHER WAS, UH, HAD A SEVERE REACTION TO, UM, THE FLU SHOT.
HE'S ALMOST 80, SO HE WOULD'VE BEEN 77, 78.
AND, UH, I MEAN, HE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL OUT OF HIS MIND, DIDN'T KNOW WHO HE WAS.
UH, AND MY MOTHER HAD, HE PAYS ALL THE BILLS.
HE KNOWS WHERE ALL THE MONEY IS.
AND SO MY MOTHER WAS CALLING ME GOING, UH, BILLS ARE COMING IN THE MAIL AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PAY THEM.
SO I HAD HER BRING EVERYTHING OVER SO I COULD PAY THE BILLS.
WHAT I LEARNED WAS HE HAD NOTHING.
MY FATHER HAS AN MBA FROM STANFORD.
HE WAS A SOFTWARE WRITER FOR EXXON FOR 30 YEARS.
AND HE CASHED IN HIS RETIREMENT AND DAY TRADES STILL TO THIS DAY, THAT'S
[00:10:01]
WHAT HE DOES EVERY DAY.AND HE HAD NOTHING ON ELECTRONIC PAYMENTS AND
SO TURNING CURVE, WHEN HE FINALLY, UH, CAME OFF THE, PROBABLY IS WHAT I THINK DRUG INDUCED, UH, DEMENTIA.
THEY, I BASICALLY HAD TO SIT DOWN AND SAY, LOOK, PUT ALL THIS STUFF ON ELECTRONIC PAYMENTS SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO HASSLE WITH IT, FIRST OF ALL.
AND SECONDLY, IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN, IT'S NOT A PROBLEM.
AND THEN WE ALSO HAD TO TALK ABOUT WHERE IT'S BECAUSE HE HAS A CHECKING ACCOUNT WITH A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY IN IT, A SAVINGS ACCOUNT WITH A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY IN IT, AND A BUNCH OF OTHER BANK ACCOUNTS WITH MORE MONEY IN THOSE.
AND HIS, UH, UH, CODES WERE IN A NOTEBOOK WRITTEN IN PENCIL, IN PICTOGRAPH FORM SO THAT NOBODY COULD, UH, STEAL HIS PASSWORDS, INCLUDING HIS SPOUSE, INCLUDING ANYBODY IN THE FAMILY WHO ACTUALLY NEEDED TO KNOW WHAT THE PASSWORDS WERE.
DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS THOUGH, MS. THOMAS, THAT FOR, YOU KNOW, I LIKE GETTING THE WORD OUT.
PUT IT IN, UH, A LETTER WITH THE WATER.
MAYBE YOU COULD MAIL 'EM OUT TO CHURCHES TOO.
I MEAN, CHURCHES AND OTHER, THEY ALWAYS MAKE ANNOUNCEMENTS.
YOU KNOW, THEY'RE, THEY'RE GOOD.
WE'LL PUT IT IN THEIR BULLETIN OR STORES MAYBE.
UM, I JUST LIKE THE SCHOOL THING.
MY KIDS LIKED THE DARE PROGRAM AND STUFF, YOU KNOW, IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS I NOTICED.
LIKE, SINCE GOOSE CREEK HAS ITS OWN POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE BAYTOWN POLICE DEPARTMENT DOESN'T INTERACT WITH GOOSE CREEK IN TO THE LEVEL THAT IT USED TO.
AND MY OLDER DAUGHTER ESPECIALLY, JUST LOVED LIKE THE DARE STUFF WHEN IT CAME TO BED.
BUT IT'S NOT, THERE'S NOT LIKE A, I DON'T KNOW, IT'S NOT THE SAME THING, BUT, UH, YOUR KIDS AREN'T THAT LITTLE ANYMORE.
BUT FINDING WAYS TO, TO GET, GET THE, THE MESSAGE OUT TO THE POPULATION.
I MEAN, GROCERY STORES, CHURCHES, THE SCHOOLS, THAT'S WHERE THE KIDS ARE.
SO I, IF WE FIND A WAY TO, AND I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY IF IT'S A BANNER OR IF IT'S A FLYER OR A BULLETIN BOARD, BUT I THINK PRINTED MATERIAL IN PEOPLE'S HANDS IS GONNA HELP DRIVE THAT TOO.
'CAUSE SOCIAL MEDIA, A LOT OF PEOPLE DO LOOK AT IT, BUT THEY ALSO SCROLL RIGHT PAST STUFF THAT DOESN'T CATCH IT.
AND HONESTLY, I'VE NEVER LOOKED AT, OR RARELY WOULD I LOOK AT THE BAYTOWN WEBSITE FOR ANY PARTICULAR REASON.
BUT, UH, YOU KNOW, ONE THING I HAVE SEEN IN HOUSTON, AT A WALMART IS SOME, YOU CAN DO THINGS SOMETIMES WALMART WILL JUST LET YOU HAVE, I MEAN, THEY HAD COMMUNITY, UH, BOOTH IN A WALMART PARKING LOT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF HOUSTON.
NO, NOT LIKE JUST TO HAND OUT A FLYER THAT SAYS, YOU KNOW, COMMUNITY MEETING NEXT WEEK OR WHATEVER.
WE'LL, AS A YEAR, GOOD CLOSER TO IT WILL, THINGS TO ME THAT ARE EASY TO DO IS JUST PUT SOMETHING UP ON THE POLICE DEPARTMENT PROPERTY THAT'S NEAR THE STREET.
PEOPLE CAN SEE IT DRIVING BY, EVEN IF IT'S A BANNER TIED TO A VAN, YOU KNOW? DOES IT CAUSE POLICE CARS? YEAH.
LIKE THEY HAVE IN LAS VEGAS GOING DOWN STRIP IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
DO WHAT NOW? HOW DO YOU ADVERTISE WHEN YOU COME TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD? SO LIKE, WHEN THEY DO NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
SO, UH, SOME OF THE COMMUNITY MEETINGS THAT WE HAVE, NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS, OUR COMMUNITY SERVICE BUREAU CONTACT EITHER THE, THE GROUP AND THEY GET THE WORD OUT AND SPREAD OUT AS WELL.
THAT'S ANOTHER, BECAUSE THE POLICE COME BY.
SO I, I GUESS IF YOU ADVERTISE LIKE THAT, WELL SAY A LOT OF TIMES WHAT WE THINK ABOUT, WE GO INTO A LOT OF THINGS WITH TECHNOLOGY AND WHERE WE'RE LOOKING, SOCIAL MEDIA, THOSE ARE THE HOT THING.
BUT THERE'S, THERE'S COMMUNITY, YOU KNOW? YEAH.
THERE MAY BE AN OLDER COMMUNITY THAT JUST DOESN'T MESS WITH SOCIAL MEDIA.
THEY DON'T, THEY DON'T INTERACT.
SO THAT'S WHY I ASKED IF YOU HAD ANY INPUTS, WHICH ARE GOOD, OF THE WAYS TO REACH OUT TO THE COMMUNITY THERE THAT OTHER THAN, YOU KNOW, WE, WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST SOME OF THE MAILOUTS WITH THE WATER DEPARTMENT THAT GOES INTO PLAY.
UM, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, THEY'VE TRANSFERRED A LOT OF THAT TO ELECTRONIC, TAKING SOME OF THAT AWAY.
SO IT'S JUST, WE'RE WE'RE ALL EARS IN WAYS OF ADDRESSING ALL COMMUNITY, ALL, WHAT'S THE BEST WAY THAT WE CAN GET THAT, OTHER THAN MAYBE DRIVING AN ICE CREAM TRUCK DOWN THE STREET, ANNOUNCING IT ALL THE TIME.
IT'S, IT'S STILL, IT A GOOD TACO TRUCK.
IT CAN WORK FOR YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
IS THERE A CHURCH OR A COMMUNITY CENTER OR A STORE RESTAURANT? ONE CHURCH OVER NO RESTAURANT GROCERY STORE IS WHAT I MEANT.
OR THAT EVERYBODY WOULD BUY, YOU KNOW, NEARBY.
LIKE HOW DID YOU HEAR, DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE JUNETEENTH
[00:15:01]
FESTIVAL? UM, BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER WAS PRESENTING THERE.SO, SO YOU DIDN'T SEE ANY ADVERTISEMENT FOR THAT? ANY PLACE THAT WE COULD POSSIBLY I HEARD IN BY MOUTH.
BY MOUTH, BECAUSE THAT HAD A NICE ATTENDANCE.
4TH OF JULY ALWAYS HAS A, I MEAN, 4TH OF JULY HAS GOT ENOUGH HISTORY.
IT'S NOT, YOU CAN, YOU CAN, YEAH, YOU CAN COUNT ON THE 4TH OF JULY.
I HAVE A REAL FESTIVAL, BUT THE JUNETEENTH FESTIVAL'S BEEN GROWING, SO I'M JUST LIKE, WONDER WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
WELL, YOU KNOW, THOSE DATES WELL ENOUGH IN ADVANCE.
PUT UP A SIGN AT THE 4TH OF JULY AND SAY, THESE ARE THE UPCOMING EVENTS FOR THE YEAR.
I MEAN, BAYTOWN POLICE HAS A PRETTY GOOD PRESENCE THERE.
SOMETHING MINUTES FROM DONE
UH, I THINK THE, WE'RE UP TO ITEM SIX.
OH, I THOUGHT THAT WAS FIVE B.
UH, THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS TO RECEIVE AN UPDATE REGARDING THE STATUS OF POLICE OUTREACH, COMMUNITY POLICING OFFICER TRAINING AND POLICIES AND PROCEDURES.
SO WHAT ARE THE, UH, THINGS GO WITH POLICY AND PROCEDURES THAT ARE GOING IN PLAY? UH, TOMORROW AND THURSDAY WE HAVE THE TEXAS CHIEF OF POLICE ASSOCIATION AT OUR AGENCY TO, UM, REVIEW OUR POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR OUR RE RECOGNITION UNDER THE, UH, STATE'S CERTIFICATION.
SO, UH, WE'LL KNOW BY THAT FRIDAY OR SO THAT EVERYTHING GOES CLEAR THAT WE RECEIVE OUR RECERTIFICATION.
UH, WE DON'T SEE ANY ISSUES IN PLAY WITH IT.
UH, THE ASSESSORS, THEY DO IT BEFOREHAND, KIND OF FREE TO MAKE SURE, AND THEN THEY COME BACK AND THEY REEVALUATE EVERYTHING THAT'S THERE.
SO THEY'LL WALK, WALK AROUND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, THEY'LL CHECK EVERYTHING, UH, TALK WITH THE OFFICERS THAT ARE ON THE STREET.
THEY'LL RIDE WITH A POLICE OFFICER AND GO TO SOME OF THE CALLS.
THEY MAY EVEN TALK WITH SOME OF THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT ARE OUT.
UM, AND THEN THEY COME BACK AND THEY DO THEIR ASSESSMENT THAT'S ON THERE.
AND THEN THEY'LL PROVIDE THE CHIEF OF POLICE OR REPORT FOR, I THINK I MISSED YOU AT THE VERY BEGINNING.
WHO'S, WHAT'S THE AGENCY? IT'S A, IT'S THE TEXAS CHIEF OF POLICE ASSOCIATION.
AND WHAT THEY HAVE A PROGRAM THAT'S CALLED THE BEST PRACTICES.
IT'S A POLICY AND PROCEDURE REVIEW.
AND IT'S RECOGNIZED THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF TEXAS.
SO THEY'LL BE HERE TO GO OVER ALL THE 200 AND SOMETHING PLUS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES, MAKE SURE THAT WE STAY IN LINE WITH WHAT THEIR ORGANIZATION AND WHAT THE STATE OF TEXAS FOR ALL AGENCIES.
SO WE'LL HAVE THAT, UM, HERE IN THE NEXT TWO DAYS.
UM, WE'RE CONTINUOUSLY WITH THE TRAINING WE HAVE ONLINE THAT'S COMING SOON AS THE, UH, YOU KNOW, WE TALKED ABOUT DEESCALATION, IT GOES INTO THAT.
BUT NOT ONLY DEESCALATION AND WORDING, IT'S ALSO PUT IN PRACTICAL TERMS AND SELF-DEFENSE, DEFENSE, UM, AREAS, THOSE CLASSES WILL BE COMING ONLINE PRETTY SOON.
EVERYONE IN THE DEPARTMENT WILL PARTICIPATE IN THAT AND DO THAT FROM THE CHIEF OF POLICE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE LINE LEVEL.
UM, AND IT SHOWS SOME OF THE DEFENSIVE TACTICS IN THERE.
ALSO, THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES TO OTHER, LESS THAN LETHAL AND SUCH LIKE THAT.
AND OF COURSE WE CONTINUOUSLY HAVE THE COFFEE.
THE COP, UH, WE WILL HAVE, OF COURSE I SEE HERE FOR YOUR NEXT MEETING.
UH, WE ARE TAKING UP TOYS AND GIFTS NOW.
UH, ONE OF THE PROGRAMS THAT A LOT OF THE EMPLOYEES FOR OUR AGENCY DO IS, UH, YOU KNOW, THE CITY IS GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO GIVE US GIFT CARDS AND STUFF FROM KIND OF A TURKEY OR SO.
AND A LOT OF OUR EMPLOYEES, THEY DONATE THEIR GIFT CARDS TO BLUE SANTA FOR THE FAMILIES SO THAT THEY CAN GIVE THOSE TO FAMILIES FOR GROCERIES AND SUCH LIKE THAT TOO AS WELL.
SO, UH, YOU KNOW, CONTINUOUSLY, THIS IS THE HOLIDAY SEASON, SO WE'LL HAVE THE THANKSGIVINGS AND CHRISTMAS COMING UP.
SO YOU'LL SEE A LOT OF POLICE INVOLVEMENT AND A LOT OF TOY DRIVE.
I KNOW TOMORROW THEY'RE DOING A, UM, FOOD DRIVE UP AT BAYTOWN NISSAN, THE CITY AND A GROUP.
I'M NOT SURE WHICH GROUP IT IS YET.
'CAUSE THEY'VE REQUESTED THE BAYTOWN POLICE DEPARTMENT TO BE UP THERE AND HELP THEM AND ASSIST WITH THAT.
SO WE'LL HAVE SOMEBODY, THE MAYOR LIKE THAT.
[00:20:01]
BUT DOES BAYTOWN STILL DO THE 18 WHEELER? DID THEY STILL HAVE THE GROUP THAT DOES 18 WHEELER CHECKS? NO.YEAH, I THOUGHT THEY'D GOTTEN RID OF THAT A WHILE BACK.
IT'S COMMERCIAL VEHICLE ENFORCEMENT TEAM.
THEY USED TO BE CALLED DOT MM-HMM
BUT IT'S COMMERCIAL VEHICLE ENFORCEMENT.
WE STILL HAVE OFFICERS THAT ARE ASSIGNED TO THAT.
I USED TO READ ABOUT SOME OF THAT IN THE BAYTOWN SUN WAS ALWAYS INTERESTING.
OKAY, NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS TO GO OVER THE NEXT MEETING AND A COUPLE OF, UH, SORT OF SIDE NOTES WITH THAT.
UH, CONSIDER SETTING THE DAYTIME AND LOCATION FOR THE NEXT, UH, BAYTOWN POLICE ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING ALONG WITH ANY RELATED TASKS AND PROCESSES TO INCLUDE, BUT NOT LIMITED TO PARTICIPATION IN BLUE SANTA, WHICH IS SATURDAY DECEMBER 10TH, UH, FROM 10:00 AM TO 2:00 PM AT ONE 11 YMCA DRIVE.
UH, DISCUSSED CONDUCTING A TEAM BUILDING EXERCISE ON JANUARY 24TH, 2023, WITH MEMBERS OF THE BAYTOWN POLICE ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO REVIEW THE COMMITTEE'S PURPOSE AND BUCKETS OF CONCERN.
UH, AND ONE OTHER THING THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT ON THIS, THAT WAS, UH, TALKED ABOUT WITH MARISSA WAS, UH, JUST TO, UH, THINK ABOUT FOR THE NEXT MEETING, POINT OF DISCUSSION, UM, WAS, UH, IF YOU WANTED TO MOVE THE DATE FROM A TUESDAY TO A DIFFERENT DAY FOR ANY PARTICULAR REASON.
UM, I THINK SHE JUST WANTED TO TALK ABOUT IT.
YEAH, I, I, I WOULD SAY WE NEED TO GET THE, ON THE AGENDA TO DISCUSS THE BEST DATE.
UH, DO WE HAVE A DECEMBER MEETING ALREADY SET OR IS THIS THAT GOING TO BE THE DECEMBER 10TH? UM, DECEMBER 10TH WILL NOT BE A MEETING.
YOU'RE NOT PLANNING ON POSTING THAT, ARE YOU? NO.
SO WE CAN'T TALK, CAN'T TALK SHOP THERE.
WE DON'T, WE DON'T HAVE, I DON'T.
SO THE NEXT MEETING FALLS ON A HOLIDAY THEN.
SO IT'S UP TO Y'ALL IF Y'ALL WANNA MOVE THE DATE OR JUST CANCEL IT FOR THE MONTH OF DECEMBER AND HAVE THE TEAM BUILDING EXERCISE IN JANUARY.
DO WE NEED A MOTION FOR CANCELING THE MEETING? YEAH.
WE SKIPPED THE DECEMBER MEETING AND FOCUS ON THE JANUARY.
WE'LL CANCEL THE DECEMBER MEETING.
NOW WE NEED FOR, FOR DECEMBER? YES.
AND THEN YOU SAID WE WOULD DO JANUARY 24TH, RIGHT? YES.
SO THAT DATE IS ALREADY PICKED.
UH, SO I NEED A MOTION TO ADJOURN THE MEETING.
THE JUMP IN EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE.
IT'S JUST THE ONE I SHOULD PUT IT ON THERE JUST TO REMIND IT, BECAUSE LIKE THE BED, THE CHRISTMAS PARADE IS ON DECEMBER THE FIRST.
