Commander Gonzalez mentioned the mission and vision statements of the Police Department <br />which are to provide professional services to the community. In order to measure how the <br />Department is doing regarding service to the public, a customer service survey is being <br />considered. He advised that the Department received over 10,000 calls for service a month. The <br />survey would send out random surveys, focusing on those individuals reporting quality of life <br />issues. Information received would be evaluated with a projected start date of January, 2017. <br />6. Police Officer Body Cameras (Project update regarding the implementation timeline.) — <br />Sergeant Michael Gonzalez {Strategic Plan Goal No. 1, if and 3b} <br />Sergeant Mike Gonzalez provides an update on the body worn program. After a brief overview, <br />he reviews the testing process. Reports that Taser has been the vendor selected and, once the <br />contract is approved, training will begin in January. Patrol and traffic will be the priority and the <br />training is done incrementally. <br />COMMITTEE MEMBER COMMENTS <br />Committee member Tinajero stated that the issue of patrol scheduling continues to be of concern <br />as City Council members are receiving information from the POA President that the Department <br />is operating below minimum staffing levels. He requested this be on the negotiating table during <br />the next cycle. Benavides requested the report be brought to the full council members. <br />Committee members continue to be supportive of the police recruit hiring and are excited about <br />creating a customer service survey in order to begin a dialog and exchange ideas with <br />community residents and business operators. Chairman Benavides remarked that across the <br />board, he saw the Police Department creating efficiencies and doing things in a more expedited <br />manner. Committee members believe the implementation of the police body worn cameras will <br />elevate the feeling of trust between the community and police; Chairman Benavides requested <br />that information is disseminated to the public once the program is in place. <br />ADSOURNMENT — 6:48 P. <br />C LOS ROJAS <br />Chief of Police <br />13C -10 <br />
