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. I, 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 /> AIX1 OURNMENT—6:48 P. 10 <br /> . <br /> a0 � <br /> CA LOS ROJAS <br /> Chief of Police <br />
