ITEM THREE A, UM, CONSIDER AUTHORIZING AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF BAYTOWN AND THE BAYTOWN CRIME CONTROL AND PREVENTION DISTRICT TO FUND 15 RENTAL CARS FROM EAN HOLDINGS, LLC, DOING BUSINESS AS ENTERPRISE RENT A CAR.

IS THERE A SECOND? OKAY, SECOND.

SECOND.

UH, ANY DISCUSSION? UM, HEARING NONE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

AYE.

ANY OPPOSED? THAT MOTION PASSES AND GET BACK TO MY AGENDA.

UM, WE WILL MOVE ON TO

[a. Consider authorizing an Interlocal Agreement between the City of Baytown and Baytown Crime Control and Prevention District to fund fifteen (15) rental cars from EAN Holdings, LLC d/b/a Enterprise Rent-A-Car. ]

IS THERE ANYTHING STAFF WOULD LIKE TO TELL US ABOUT THIS? COULD YOU EXPLAIN WHAT IT IS THIS WHAT IT IS FOR US? ? THIS, UM, WAS ORIGINALLY THE PURCHASE OF 15, UH, SORRY, THE RENTAL OF 15 CARS USED BY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR I THINK, UNDERCOVER ACTIVITIES.

REIMBURSED BY US, BUT THAT'S GONNA BE HANDLED IN THE CITY'S NAME ON OUR BEHALF.

UM, BUT THERE IS, THERE'S ALWAYS A QUESTION, UH, WELL, IT CAME UP THAT WHEN WE PURCHASE OR LEASE VEHICLES, THAT, UM, THERE ARE ISSUES THAT IF WE DO IT IN OUR NAME OR THE CITY'S NAME AND SUCH AS, USUALLY IT'S WITH THE PURCHASE OF VEHICLES AND I'M GONNA BRING TO Y'ALL WITH THE NEXT MEETING, UH, IN A LOCAL THAT, UM, ADDRESSES ANY ISSUES LIKE THIS GLOBALLY.

SO WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS ON A PURCHASE BY PURCHASE BASIS.

THIS, THIS WAS A ONE TIME THING TO TRY TO COVER THIS, BUT NORMALLY IT, IT, OR THIS HAS BEEN BREWING IN THE BACKGROUND, BUT IT ORIGINALLY CAME UP WHEN WE WERE TRYING TO PURCHASE, UM, SOME, UM, SOME VEHICLES.

AND I CAN'T REMEMBER IF IT WAS FIRE OR THE, OR THE POLICE, AND WE WERE WANTING TO DO IT IN THE, UH, FIRE CONTROL OR CRIME CONTROL'S NAME, BUT THE VENDOR WOULD NOT DO THAT WITHOUT US HAVING OUR OWN, UM, YOU KNOW, TAX ID NUMBER WITHOUT US.

UH, IT, IT JUST CAUSED A LOT OF PROBLEMS AND IN THE PAST WE'D ALWAYS DONE IT THROUGH THE CITY'S NAME.

UM, BUT, UH, ISSUES THAT I WAS CONCERNED WITH, THAT THIS DISTRICT DOES NOT REALLY HAVE AUTHORITY TO BIND THE CITY AT ALL.

AND SO IF WE'RE APPROVING A SALE OR A PURCHASE OR A LEASE AND, AND THEN THE CITY SIGNS IT AND IT'S IN THE CITY'S NAME, UM, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE ANY ABILITY TO, TO CONTRACT FOR THE CITY OR, OR DO ANYTHING ELSE.

AND REALLY ANYTHING THAT'S TITLED OR, OR INSURED OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT NEEDS TO BE OVER IN THE CITY'S NAME TO BE UNDER THE CITY'S, UH, PROGRAMS. MM-HMM .

AND, UM, INSURANCE.

YEAH, THE INSURANCE AND EVERYTHING.

AND SO THE, THIS WAS A STOPGAP MEASURE ON THIS RENTAL, THIS CAR LEASE.

UH, AND I'M WORKING ON A, UH, A GLOBAL ONE THAT SAYS ALL PURCHASES DONE BY THE CITY ON BEHALF OF, UH, THINGS THAT'S FUNDED BY THE, UM, FIRE CONTROL OR THE POLICE CONTROL WILL BE

[00:05:01]

AND WE ARE DOING IT FOR PROGRAMS LEGALLY FUNDED, UH, THROUGH THE FIRE CONTROL OR THE, UH, UH, CRIME CONTROL, BUT ALSO HANDLED BY THE CITY THROUGH THEIR PURCHASING DEPARTMENT.

AND SO IT'S GONNA CLEAN IT ALL UP AND YOU KNOW, IT, AND IN THE PAST IT, WE, WE DIDN'T ALWAYS DO IT THIS WAY, BUT I THINK IT'S A MUCH CLEANER WAY OF DOING IT, AND I THINK IT TAKES CARE OF A LOT OF ISSUES THAT, UM, COULD COME UP DOWN THE ROAD IF WE DIDN'T DO IT THIS WAY.

SO ALL THE LIABILITY ISSUES WILL BE HANDLED THAT'S CORRECT.

AND TAKEN CARE OF BY THE CITY.

AND IT WILL NOT COME BACK ON THE, UH, THE CRIME PATROL PREVENTION DISTRICT.

IS THAT CORRECT? IS THAT, HOW, IS THAT WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT? WELL, THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, ANY INSURANCE OR ANY, UH, RISK MANAGEMENT, ANYTHING LIKE THAT WOULD BE HANDLED BY THE CITY.

MAINLY WHAT WE'RE DOING IS PUR, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE FUND PROGRAMS FOR THE, UH, LOCAL, UM, YOU KNOW, FOR THE CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT.

AND, UM, WHAT WE DO IS WE PURCHASE THINGS FOR THEIR DEPARTMENT MM-HMM .

AND WHEN IT COMES TO THINGS LIKE VEHICLES THAT HAVE INSURANCE, VEHI OR, UM, UM, YOU KNOW, REGISTRATION, UH, ALL OF THOSE TYPE OF ISSUES, IT'S, UM, IT'S DIFFICULT WHEN THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT POLITICAL ENTITIES YES.

INVOLVED WITH WHO'S GONNA TITLE IT, WHO'S GONNA PAY FOR IT AND STUFF.

AND SO THIS WAY THE CITY'S GONNA HANDLE ALL, EVERYTHING ON THE, UH, PURCHASE AND, YOU KNOW, RISK MANAGEMENT LIABILITY, ANYTHING ON THAT END.

AND WE'RE GONNA FUND THEM AND REIMBURSE THEM FOR ANYTHING THAT THEY'RE OUT OF POCKET.

BASICALLY, WE'RE THE BANKER, WE'RE THE FUNDING MANAGER.

CORRECT.

BUT IT DOESN'T GIVE AN OPEN CHECK EITHER.

THERE'S, THERE'S NOT JUST AN OPEN CHECK FROM THE MDD TO THIS.

RIGHT.

THAT'S WHAT THE NEXT THING I WAS GONNA ASK, IS THIS GONNA BE AN ONGOING MONTHLY PAYMENT OR EXPENDITURE OR JUST AN ANNUAL OUTSOURCE? IT'S, IT'S, IT ONLY ALIGNS WITH THE PROGRAMS THAT THIS BOARD HAS ALREADY AUTHORIZED THE, THE, UH, TO BE IN PLAY.

RIGHT.

SO THIS WAS IN OUR BUDGET, RIGHT? YES.

IN YOUR BUDGET.

IN THE BUDGET.

BUT SO, BUT IT IS GONNA BE WITH ENTERPRISE, BECAUSE IF I REMEMBER RIGHT AT ONE TIME YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT SINCE, UH, I KNOW THAT THEY WERE BEING USED FOR, FOR ANY KIND OF UNDERCOVER STUFF IN, IN THE PAST, YOU ALSO, I THINK WERE ALSO NOT UTILIZING THE NEWER VEHICLES FOR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

ARE THOSE, I'M NOT SURE I UNDERSTAND WHAT TRYING TO MOST UNDERCOVER VEHICLES ARE NOT BASICALLY 2026 OR WOULD BE 2026 VEHICLES.

CORRECT.

THIS, I MEAN, DEPENDING ON WHAT PART OF TOWN WHERE THEY'RE BEING UTILIZED, THAT THE, THE, THE RENTAL AGREEMENT COVERS, UH, COVERS CERTAIN VEHICLES, CERTAIN TYPES OF CARS, UH, TO PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF, OF INVESTIGATIONS AS WELL AS THE IDENTITY AND SAFETY OF OUR OFFICERS.

RIGHT.

I WOULDN'T WANNA MAKE A STATEMENT ON THE TYPE OF VEHICLES THAT ARE BEING USED NOR THE EXACT YEARS.

BUT IT'S NOT LAMBORGHINIS, RIGHT? NO, IT'S DEFINITELY NOT LAMBORGHINIS.

I DON'T THINK ENTERPRISE RENTS OUT THE LAMBORGHINIS, RIGHT? NO, THEY'RE NOT EXTRAVAGANT LUXURY CARS.

CORRECT.

AND, AND, AND I, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY ALSO IT WAS, IT WAS THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

THEY'RE THE UPSTARTS THAT GOT ALL THIS RUNNING.

NOT THE POLICE BLEND THE FIRE.

YES, SIR.

HOW, HOW LONG IS THE LEASE? I I THINK THEY, IT, IT, IT'S ONE YEAR, IF I REMEMBER RIGHT.

I THINK THEY, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, IT IS YEAR TO YEAR.

IT'S, UH, IT'S AN AGREEMENT THAT WE HAVE, UH, THROUGH HARRIS COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.

LEMME MAKE SURE THAT'S CORRECT.

HARRIS SHERIFF THROUGH HARRIS COUNTY ITSELF.

YEAH.

AND IT ALLOWS US TO RENT, TO RENT THESE VEHICLES AT, AT, AT A COST THAT ALLOWS US TO YES.

OUTFIT ALL OF OUR PERSONNEL IN THAT PARTICULAR DIVISION.

AND ULTIMATELY IT COMES BACK TO US EVERY YEAR FOR FUNDING DECISION.

FINANCIALLY.

FINANCIALLY, YES, SIR.

YEAH.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO.

IS THERE A MOTION ON THIS ITEM? SO MOVED.

I SECOND.

COUPLE FIRE STATION.

YEAH, KEEP US POSTED.

UH, THAT'S CONSIDERED RECEIVED AND WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM FOUR

[c. Receive status reports on crime and safety statistics and programs funded through the Crime Control Prevention District.]

GOOD AFTERNOON.

UM, WE DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF CHANGE ON, UH, UH, ITEMS THAT WERE FUNDED.

WE TRY TO GET THAT DONE AS EARLY ON IN THE FISCAL YEAR AS WE POSSIBLY CAN.

UH, AS YOU KNOW,

[00:15:01]

THE CCPD FUNDS VARIOUS PROGRAMS TO ASSIST THE BAYTOWN POLICE DEPARTMENT IN NOT ONLY, UH, APPREHENDING CRIMINALS, BUT PREVENTING CRIME.

UM, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE FUNDED THROUGH THE CCPD, AND I'M NOT GONNA READ THIS ALL TO YOU BECAUSE I KNOW YOU'RE CAPABLE OF READING, AND I'M NOT GONNA INSULT YOUR INTELLIGENCE, BUT, UH, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT, THAT WE ARE FUNDING THROUGH THE CCPD AND WE'VE ALREADY, UH, WE'VE ALREADY FUNDED OR ENTERED INTO, UH, CONTRACTS ON FOR THE COMING YEAR, FOR THE YEAR WE'RE IN, UH, AXON, WHICH FUNDS OUR BODY-WORN CAMERAS IN-CAR CAMERAS AS WELL AS OUR TASERS.

UM, WE WILL BE COMING UP ON A NEW CONTRACT WITH THAT IN THE NEW FISCAL YEAR, WHICH WILL REPLACE ALL OF THAT AND BRING IT ALL UP TO DATE WILL BE PART OF THE CONTRACT.

UH, 12 MARKED UNITS HAVE BEEN ORDERED, UM, FIVE MARKED UNMARKED UNITS ORDERED AS WELL.

UH, THOSE WILL BE GOING TO OUR PATROL SHIFT COMMANDERS THAT REDUCES SOME OF THE COSTS THAT GO INTO IT SIMPLY BY REDUCING THE NEED TO PUT IN CAGES, STRIPES, THAT SORT OF THING ON THE VEHICLE.

AND WE CAN PASS THOSE SAVINGS ONTO OTHER EQUIPMENT WITHIN THE CCPD.

UH, AS YOU JUST HEARD, THE RENTAL VEHICLES, UH, THOSE WILL BE GOING TO THE SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS DIVISION, UH, SOFTWARE FOR ENHANCED COMMUNICATIONS AND DIGITAL, UH, INVESTIGATIONS INCLUDE FUNDING THE, UH, THE AFIS, WHICH IS THE FINGERPRINTING SYSTEM AND ENHANCED INFORMATION SHARING SYSTEM THERE.

UH, AXON, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, PART OF THE INFORMATION SHARING SYSTEM WITH THAT IS EVIDENCE.COM, WHICH ALL OF OUR EVIDENCE, UH, GOES INTO.

IT ALLOWS US TO SEND A LINK TO PROSECUTORS WITH THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE SO THAT THEY CAN REVIEW THE CASE, UH, EXPEDITIOUSLY.

IT ALSO HELPS US TO REDUCE THE TRAVEL TIME AND THE WAIT TIME WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO GET CHARGES OR PREPARE FOR CASES IN CRIMINAL COURTS.

UH, THE A LPR FLOCK SYSTEM AND, UH, GRAY KEY DIGITAL FORENSIC SOFTWARE, FULBRIGHT DIGITAL FORENSIC SOFTWARE, THE LEXI NEXUS, ENHANCED INFORMATION AND INVESTIGATION SYSTEMS. UH, A LOT OF THIS ACTUALLY GOES TO OUR DIGITAL FORENSICS UNIT, WHICH IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT IN PROSECUTION OF CASES AS WE'VE DISCUSSED BEFORE, DIGITAL FORENSICS OR THE NEW DNA THAT ALL THE PROSECUTORS ARE ASKING FOR.

UH, BELOW THAT, YOU'LL SEE SOME OF THE METRICS THAT WE'VE RECORDED OVER THE FIRST QUARTER AND THE SECOND QUARTER FOR, UH, THIS FISCAL YEAR.

UH, THE FIRST YOU'LL SEE IS THE DIGITAL FORENSICS UNIT.

THIS IS, UH, THESE ARE NUMBERS OF THEIR WORK PRODUCT.

AND KEEP IN MIND THESE ARE JUST NUMBERS.

THEY DON'T TELL THE STORIES BEHIND IT.

THE SUCCESSFUL PROSECUTIONS, THE WARRANTS THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO GET.

AND IN SOME CASES WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO SERVE THOSE WARRANTS BECAUSE WE'RE LOOKING FOR FUGITIVES THAT ARE ATTACHED TO THEM.

BUT ALL OF THESE NUMBERS REPRESENT, UH, INVESTIGATIONS THAT HOPEFULLY WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO BRING TO A CLOSE AND PROVIDE JUSTICE TO VICTIMS IN OUR COMMUNITY.

UH, WE CURRENTLY HAVE 72, UH, A LPR CAMERAS THAT ARE IN SERVICE.

ALL OF THIS INFORMATION IS CURRENT AS OF TO AS OF THIS MORNING, UH, ON THE FLOCK TRANSPARENCY PORTAL, WHICH IS AVAILABLE ON THE CITY WEBSITE UNDER THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

UH, 500, UH, 520,317 UNIQUE PLATE READS OCCURRED IN THE LAST 30 DAYS, 577 SEARCHES, UM, AND REGULAR FLOCK AUDIT SHOWS COMPLIANCE WITH THE BAYTOWN POLICE DEPARTMENT.

UH, WE ALSO HAD 6,061 HOT LIST HITS.

THIS MEANS 6,061 HITS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH VEHICLES THAT ARE WANTED OR SUSPECTED IN CRIMINAL ACTIVITY.

OR IT MAY EVEN BE SOMEBODY WHO IS A MISSING PERSON OR AN ENDANGERED PERSON THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR.

UH, WE HAVE A RECENT SUCCESS STORY THAT IS ASSOCIATED NOT ONLY WITH UH, A LPR TECHNOLOGY, BUT SOME OUTSTANDING POLICE WORK AND TENACITY.

UH, YESTERDAY, AS A MATTER OF FACT, BAYTOWN POLICE DEPARTMENT LOCATED A SUSPECT THROUGH PATROL LEVEL INVESTIGATIVE WORK AND THE USE OF A LPR TECHNOLOGY WITH A WARRANT FOR A, ON A SUBJECT WITH A WARRANT FOR AGGRAVATED ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON IN HARRIS COUNTY.

AND HE WAS ALSO SUSPECTED OF ANOTHER SHOOTING IN CHAMBERS COUNTY, ALONG WITH OUR SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS PATROL, UH, LOCATED THE SUBJECT AFTER A VEHICLE PURSUIT, WHICH WAS ASSISTED BY PRECINCT THREE CONSTABLE'S OFFICE, THE SUBJECT WAS APPREHENDED AND TAKEN INTO CUSTODY.

UH, BELOW THAT, YOU'LL SEE OUR ONLINE REPORTS.

UH, AS YOU'LL SEE, THE REPORTING MAIN REMAINS FAIRLY CONSISTENT FROM MONTH TO MONTH.

IN SOME CASES, WE'LL HAVE EBBS AND FLOWS.

SOME MONTHS WE'LL HAVE A FEW MORE, UH, OTHERS WILL HAVE A FEW LESS.

BUT THIS REPRESENTS TIME THAT OFFICERS DO NOT HAVE TO COME OFF THE STREET WHERE OUR CITIZENS CAN FILE ONLINE REPORTS THEMSELVES.

IT ALSO GIVES THEM THE ABILITY TO FILE THOSE REPORTS IF THEY'RE AT WORK, IF THEY'RE SIMPLY NOT AVAILABLE TO, TO WAIT FOR A POLICE OFFICER WHO'S ON SHIFT AT THE TIME.

UH, THESE ARE INVESTIGATED BY BOTH OUR COMMUNITY SERVICE OFFICERS THAT SIT AT OUR FRONT DESK AS WELL AS PATROL OR INVESTIGATORS THAT, UH, THAT MAY RECEIVE THESE IF THEY NEED ADDITIONAL INVESTIGATIONS.

UH, I'D ALSO LIKE TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO, UH, THE TABLE ONE ON VIOLENT CRIME.

AS YOU'LL SEE, UH, VIOLENT CRIME CON CONTINUES TO TREND DOWNWARD.

UM, OUR DEPARTMENT IS EXPLOITING PRO OR IS EXPLORING PROACTIVE, UH, ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES AND CONJUNCTION WITH PROB PROB QUALITY

[00:20:01]

OF LIFE AND PROBLEM SOLVING ACTIVITIES.

THESE INCLUDE HOMELESS INTERVENTION EFFORTS, LOITERING COMPLAINTS, GENERAL NUISANCE CALLS FOR SERVICE, IF YOU WILL.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THESE EFFORTS CAN FURTHER PUSH THAT NEEDLE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, AND THAT'S TO BECOME THE SAFEST CITY IN HARRIS COUNTY.

UH, OUR DEPARTMENT RECORDED AN INCREASE IN VIOLENT CRIMES, WHICH WAS REPORTED IN JANUARY.

AND IF YOU LOOK BACK ACROSS PREVIOUS YEARS, YOU'LL SEE THAT THAT'S A NATURAL PATTERN THAT TENDS TO OCCUR.

WE'VE ASKED OURSELVES WHAT'S GOING ON DURING THESE TIMES OF THE YEAR THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY AND CONTINUE TO BRING THAT DOWN.

WELL, THE GOOD NEWS IS IF YOU CONTINUE TO LOOK TOWARDS THE RIGHT OF THAT CHART INTO THIS YEAR, YOU'LL SEE THAT EVEN THOUGH IT STILL FOLLOWS THE SAME PATTERN, THE NUMBERS STILL, UH, CONTINUE TO GO DOWN.

AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR.

UH, WE HAVE A, UH, A GENERAL TREND DOWNWARD, UH, 5% YEAR TO DATE.

AND WHAT WE CAN EXPECT TO SEE, UH, OVER THE NEXT, UH, OVER THE NEXT YEAR, FEW YEARS, IS AN ADDITIONAL 4%.

WE'RE CURRENTLY OPERATING IN AN ENVIRONMENT THAT LENDS ITSELF TO THE REDUCTION OF CRIME AND VIOLENT CRIME.

SO THE BAYTOWN POLICE DEPARTMENT IS EXPLORING WAYS THAT WE CAN, UH, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT ENVIRONMENT, WHETHER THROUGH SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT ARE FUNDED BY BOTH THE CCPD OR COME FROM OUR GENERAL BUDGET.

OUR GOAL IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE, UH, MAKE OUR GOAL IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CONTINUE TO PUSH THAT VIOLENT CRIME AND CRIME IN GENERAL DOWN, UH, TRAFFIC CRASHES AS WELL.

UH, YOU'LL ALSO SEE, UH, THE, A PATTERN EMERGE ACROSS THE YEARS.

UH, SOMETIMES THE NUMBERS FLUCTUATE AND DIFFER.

UH, WE ARE DOWN 5% FOR OUR TRAFFIC CRASHES.

UH, DWI ENFORCEMENT IS UP COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS MONTH, BUT IT DOES SHOW A CONSISTENT TREND SINCE DECEMBER OF 2025.

UH, OUR ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS ARE THE RESULT OF DATA-DRIVEN ENFORCEMENT, WHICH ALSO IDENTIFIES AREAS THAT DWIS ARE MOST LIKELY TO OCCUR.

UH, OUR MENTAL HEALTH CALLS, UH, MENTAL HEALTH, UH, CALL ACTIVITIES SAW A SLIGHT DECREASE BETWEEN FEBRUARY AND MARCH OF THIS YEAR.

UH, HOWEVER, THEY STILL REMAIN CONSISTENT, UH, DURING THESE CONTACTS.

SOME PERSONS WERE IDENTIFIED AS NEEDING A MENTAL HEALTH OFFICER AND, AND FURTHER INTERVENTION.

UH, AND WE'VE ALSO INCREASED OUR RESPONSES TO THE JAIL AS WELL DURING, UH, UH, UH, PRE-BOOKING QUESTIONING, UH, OUR OUTREACH DATA.

UH, WE CONTINUE TO EMPHASIZE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND OUTREACH, WHETHER IT'S COMMUNITY POLICING EVENTS OR HOMELESS INTERVENTION.

AND WE'RE ALSO USING OUR TECHNOLOGIES TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACES, THE RIGHT TIME FOR THAT HOMELESS INTERVENTION.

AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE TO EXPLORE IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE THESE ARE QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUES THAT LEND THEMSELVES TO CRIMINAL ACTIVITY.

AND THIS IS THE WAY THAT WE MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT OVERALL AND TAKE THE PROACTIVE STEPS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE SUPPLEMENTING WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH VIOLENT CRIME AND CRIMINAL APPREHENSION EFFORTS.

UH, THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER.

ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I'M DOING THIS.

UH, CHIEF, I KNOW WE'VE HAD SOME RETIREMENTS.

YES, SIR.

AND PROMOTIONS LATELY COMING.

WHAT IS OUR CURRENT MANNING STATUS? UH, RIGHT NOW WE ARE CURRENTLY AT, UH, I'M SORRY, I DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION.

SO YEAH, IT'S NOT A HARD NUMBER, BUT WE'RE STILL OVER 90% STAFFING.

WE'RE NOT EXACTLY WHERE WE WANT TO BE OR WHERE WE HAVE BEEN FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS, BUT THE RETIREMENTS HAVE HIT US HARD.

WE DO HAVE A GOOD APPLICANT POOL THAT WE ARE CONTINUING TO GIVE JOB OFFERS OUT, BUT I'M GONNA SAY THIS, AND IT GOES ON PUBLIC RECORDS, SO THIS IS A GOOD PLACE TO SAY IT.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO HIRE JUST ANYBODY TO SERVE THE CITIZENS OF BAYTOWN.

UH, I WOULD RATHER WORK JUST A LITTLE BIT SHORT WITH GOOD QUALITY POLICE OFFICERS WHO BELIEVE IN OUR MISSION TO PROTECT AND SERVE AND IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE, WORK WITH OUR CITIZENS, AND DO IT WITH HONOR, INTEGRITY, AND PROFESSIONALISM.

SO WE'RE GOING TO BE VERY SELECTIVE.

WE'RE A HARD CLUB TO JOIN AND A TOUGH TEAM TO MAKE, AND WE'RE GONNA KEEP IT THAT WAY.

THANK YOU.

YES, SIR.

WHILE I'M HERE, UH, I'D ALSO LIKE TO, UH, LIKE TO ANNOUNCE, I THINK WE, WE SENT THE INFORMATION OUT.

AS YOU KNOW, DAVID ALFORD RETIRED A AFTER 40 YEARS OF SERVICE.

CONGRATULATIONS VERY WELL.

AND, UH, I HAVE WITH ME AARON KROLL, WHO IS RECENTLY APPROACHED TO AS PROMOTED TO ASSISTANT CHIEF IN HIS PLACE.

AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING HIM DO GREAT THINGS WITH HIS BUREAU.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

YES, THANK YOU.

VERY WELL DESERVED.

UM, ONLY COMMENT I HAVE IS, UM, THANK YOU TO THE GREAT WORK THAT WAS DONE OUT IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD IN PINEHURST ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

IF YOU DID NOT HEAR, WE HAD A SWATTING INCIDENT, UM, FEW STREETS DOWN FROM ME, AND IT WAS DEFINITELY AN UNSETTLING AFTERNOON FOR MYSELF AND OUR NEIGHBORS.

BUT EVERYONE'S STILL TALKING ABOUT THE PROFESSIONALISM AND THE GREAT WORK THAT PD DID ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON TO BRING THAT SITUATION TO, UM, RESOLVE.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR, FOR THAT ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

ANYONE ELSE?
