blessings might touch this community if we wait continue to be able to walk together or for uplifting want to gather continuing to catch the vibes of those around us event thank you sir speaking with the victims the ledge victims and and the police department pursuing those individuals that are suspect in it and my concern is that this may not be being handled in that manner and this initially brought up the last commission hearings the police department's allocation of resources to investigate and actually make assessments on projects such as a b and b in my neighborhood my b and b and to make recommendations that it not be permitted well and that was based upon police reports in the neighborhood none of those reports i had not had anything whatsoever to do with the b n p operation one which was not in those reports involved this tended of mine young woman who was assaulted and my question and perhaps one of the one of the junior officers or what's warden it's cheap could look into this find out what exactly was and that i said to you you're going to arrest him or you're going to pursue this no was the answer and to my knowledge there was no report written and no follow up on this so this really goes to a concern for women and girls in the what's really what's the procedure in this regard and in that matter this can relate to the rape kits why i'm sure the answer hasn't come out yet why were these rape kits destroyed why couldn't they have been kept in a database so is there some concern that some of the individuals who are suspect are people in the community and certainly i've heard of this for example a doctor even the lady that was implicated multiple rapes and of course one or more police officers with all due respect that happens to communities around the country so at any rate that's mine and i'm sure there are people in the community that are interested in hearing how my appearance has addressed questions answered as to how certain things are handled that could come fact that you've allowed me to speak because truly there is really no other that we know of form other than letters to the police department and then to have the community of representatives yourselves the honorable police commission to hear this directly and maybe you can cite something questions there our address and certainly the commission has to do with police officers and the chief of police and how managers are handling i mean there are lot of  has incorporated has stayed in the county state federal and private industry it is a whole lot of people that came together to make this work for us  of these acronyms right and no we need to make sure and in so rooted in a way that we can understand i have a really instructed our school resource officers so they're going into the schools and talking to them all so we're trying to  everybody in but my my mentality is buying teaching house to the police department better than the police department where people have a question until call up to an officer to ask questions about a text message so brief and eas the first the first bubble and the very top of the bubble will tell us exactly what's going on what the public is trying to tell the next one and you see that big and i when i when i was told i have to be up to a presentation for you guys you know so while they're waiting for the interaction between i send a message we're waiting for them to respond they can pick up another call well we are here focuses on getting this service information with no information or location information or why we don't know what's happening we have to gather all the information before we get to spend because you have an office is going to ask what's going on you know what's happening what are we responding to partners in the industry to create this system that we have property crimes unit with the criminal investigation division and i'm sitting in for assistant chief dan oates all begin with c a d this past monday or detectives from the criminal investigation division morals unit continues in foresman on gambling operations in the juvenile section over the c p d officers worked with the liquor department in chipping compliance of businesses on september  development if you've ordered in the area of the body counts right now we're in the second phase we're closing out the second phase of that and we're working with three vendors on that in that motorola teaser and the rule vendors went on that tunnel which shut down traffic for a few hours also flooding in me with the most severe flooding in of the valley river which caused major damage in that area right now the park is still closed and police are posted over there manning that road we are allowing only residents and hundred officers working in uniform on front street our main concern is safety number one and that everybody has a has a good time on a monday it is here so hopefully we out we just hired on monday three new employees with the police department we welcome the polygraph exam as well and we could see if you have any questions regarding our conference is that body cameras are very very expensive not that they're shooting up there but retaining the information and reviewing it and i know that with our own how it's going to affect our budget because it's a really big number and that's what a number of people have discussed with the at the conference so i just want to talk about that the other thing is on  are all those hundred officers how many of them are in overtime how many are on regular do all of them are on regular duties we have adjusted our scheduling so that you will be on duty that's great no overtime that's great but we do have you know a big budget item on overtime but it's good to see that you're doing it that right there might be minimum overtime no no no i don't but when you say under the office that's great that you know you've adjusted for a major comes back you know their people complain and it's easier now to complain all i want i'm on tape and and then how would the how are you going to release a you know we have you you know we release we don't release you know the the newspaper the t v to want it you know and it goes for you know criminal and civil prosecution so it's a big you know everybody thinks that it's all going to just have a camera it's going to be easy these three vendors are  otherwise what has been done in the past is fly in the mid afternoon stay overnight fly back the next day i mean you would all have to stay  we could schedule it like we did on the nih this past year the turnout was what was strong by flying in the morning and flying back oh i don't know how care i feel that going over and staying overnight would be advantageous even though i understand what you saying that people could share change their agendas around if you have an evening meeting then everybody can attend and that's what we're there for with there to serve the community and even if people move their schedules around their heated taking off of work if that's very important to them they have to leave their kids  day i think that having the meeting in the early evening where everybody can attend and that's what we're tasked to do it's not for our convenience would go in there for the people of color code and we want to get the biggest best response and give them the opportunity to come and voice their opinion to us because we're working for them they're not working on our part to our convenience and the bureau so again i just wanted to bring that on again now it's convenience for the day i did all of it's a huge inconvenience for me yeah i  know remember how i would go with said are you going to go on to be three or four years ago right so if we haven't been there at three or four years and it was a big turnout we should of for ourselves to go there i know we're all volunteers but that's something that we signed up for and it is an inconvenience and you know lives are a hard sell for we're just a phone call away i let's you have to physically be on the sites to do stuff but then as you would request people of all the tried to change their change all their schedules to come to our meeting who's to say that you can't reschedule around what you're doing you know you have to think of the greater good for the greater many and that's what we're here for it's not that much that we do for the community and the this is something i know we're not tast to do with what it is that now we've police commission and it is now we night we had a treaty with there had a really big turnout and there were a lot of concern and that's what we're here to to say here the people's concerns it's a shame we're open to the public here on a wednesday morning at ten o'clock and one guy shows up when it's advertised and people can come but they don't but on the outer islands when you read about what's going on they have a lot of problems and they want to voice their opinions and that's what we're here were there at the lunch hour and there were thirty guys there  and throughout the conference there was a message of priests and engaging transparency working together community law enforcement because we're very fortunate that our maui police department seeing all the various types of programs to get interact interaction with the community seeing our chief and it's  these criminal activities can't talk to this we can't do this we're now don't allow to make a recommendations to show cuomo or the command staff or how we think these are big me the supplier there is a problem if there is anything going on that they can come in and say well we're this civilian oversight and we want this to happen and we want that to happen and we don't do that we're no we're not allowed to do that and yes it's nice to be social and meet people from all over the country and there was one for people these people were actually making a difference in each of their communities we on the other hand do not or cannot not that we do not we cannot i mean there are a number of times i'll ask a question and they'll say into these categories it doesn't even come to us you just say you did not and that's because of the rules that have been set up of this committee and it's you know it's a i feel honored to be a part of it association and you know we talk about i don't know if it's use it or lose it that it's in our budget that you know it's a pleasure to ready but still i don't feel that it's really advantage mean it's nice it was very nice sociable seeing people it was wonderful to be to a new place but as far as what we're allowed to do it relationship to influencing what's going on big they come up with the budget i remember last couple of months ago the budget went from you know fifty two million dollars in aid to the fifty seven million dollars most of we could do with what are you going to do know a fresh campus to see what was going on and i went there and i brought with me for everybody to read oliver with with cindy what the conference was all about and you'll be able to look through and see the different the different seminars that they had and what they were has to do when norris as we saw some video here we most interesting thing was that they went there about shooting and the that they came in and then a civilian oversight how people on different municipalities relate to shooting now we had a couple of shootings here on our way it was even brought up in the meeting it was report from the command staff because they take everything and they keep it very close to the vest very very fortunate that our police department does work properly and you guys did a great job picking the new police the police commission or that we have the change that we have and you know in our training is good so we're fortunate that way that we don't have a lot of rogue cops like they do on the mainland only because you know you go to new york city they have thirty thousand you go to l a they have twenty thousand you go to other municipalities we have three hundred officers here and they're trained well and they're follow the command staff of the been here for years and they work with the community in a lot of different ways and i'm very happy with that it's not like oh what we should do this we should do that it's just my opinion you know tell them we're going to investigate what's going on with this and stuff like that and the and there are different municipalities and not all of them and there's civilian oversight which we sort of you know their oversight we statutory framework you're working under for example if you're a police commissioner in new york new york city it's a full time job you should have a law course and background and you're paid a salary of like you know hundreds of thousands of dollars a year so you have police commissions like this one where you're all volunteers all the way to police commissioners where the commissioner is like the de facto chief of police so you know there is a wide wide range of powers duties enough already assigned to that same title of police commissioner and police commissioner so that's what you know i urge you folks to keep in mind that police commissioner is to have a greater much greater harvey are usually totally different in their their authority then then this commission and you folks as commissioners feel that something can be done because before i was on the commission or when i was appointed the commission and i'm sure each and every one of us who has that friends and family have come to us and said oh you're on the commission can you do about this what can you do about that i got a complaint about this and i say i'm sorry there's really nothing you know once i found out it's really nothing to do but feel free to write a letter feel free to complain to the write a letter to the chief and copy the commission on it  that's you know the course of we can talk and once again i feel honored to be on the commission i just feel spending the money going to this type of conference it's a social event and not a it's not something and the biggest and the biggest thing i took away from was finding out how expensive it is for the body cameras and that was only that wasn't even a whole meeting that was somebody coming from talking to me about observe that still exists we when i went to riverside last year there were sites police commissioner was only three years old you know so it's moving in the right direction for myself attending a conference reaction to that was exactly why is this new commissioner on t v my personal feeling was well it's there's there's an agenda that's being followed chair and making a statement on behalf of this commission that we've already discussed not if if any of you were asked that question and if if any other news know what what they had maybe they did in their meeting talk about it a point that your commission says well you should be the one making statements representing the companies i serious i highly doubt that but it is a possibility so i just wanted to get that oil there if there's any statements from me to the public or through the media that you know you've got your own opinion and you've got the freedom to express your own opinion you're authorized by the commission to do so and i guess whatever floor on the other thing i guess we caution all warren commission members is to understand what is and is not confidential that for example if you're asked by a specific investigation at the commission may be undertaken to keep in mind any confidentiality concerns or also if there are matters that were discussed in executive session those are also confidential and
