4:53 – 5:060

Individual audience participation is limited to three minutes. Do we have any comments from our audience? Looks like we have Brian McGrath.

5:09 – 5:526

Hello. Like, in 2020, I had an interaction with Emilion. It I assume he's a good cop. You know? We got caught in a situation where bad cops that run the city, like Chad Bianco. I know it's kinda surprising. I've been arrested for an arrest warrant in 2020. I can't get internal affairs. Sergeant Needle, he ends up going for my pad, like, in January. And I don't know why to me and Joe he did, but then they had these nondisclosures where they can't talk about it. And he's a good guy. You know, he got caught in the situation. Then 02/2022, I get my butt kicked in a premeditated way by officer Rodriguez. And he tries to charge me for a felony resistant arrest and a jaywalking. How do I get resistant arrest so I can't be arrested?

5:52 – 6:056

As a GA reject, I can't get an investigation into not just crimes against me, homeless people in this area or being tortured. Literally, I can't get an investigation for anybody in the city. I believe the chief police chief is a

6:050

good guy, but someone in

6:07 – 6:496

the system, me, like, throwing out a complaint or a report, does not get an investigation at all. And internal affairs or whatever it is. You know, I know the sheriff's a corrupt. And if you call captain Salisbury, he's a sheriff, he's already retired right now. He'll admit to the illegal investigation in me. And and also inside city limits. But it's all like, you know, their task force or whatever it is. And like, I don't know to explain it. Pissed me off. I can't get an into homicide. I can't get a vested in case anything done to me in this city. I don't know how it breaks down at that Orange Street station, but it does. You know? And I and my kid's mom, she can't talk to me because they're doing a legal neuroscience stuff. Tied to UCR, Space Force, or whatever it is.

6:49 – 7:286

You know? I think it's, like, tied to the OJP thing. But I don't have the conviction, and I approved the court system, the public defenders, the Riverside Police Department, and the sheriff's records for one day when I got kidnapped by the feds and dropped off at that jail, their their records don't match at all. So I I just need an investigation. I believe this police chief's a good guy, but somewhere underneath that, somewhere in that system of me going to the window 25 times, I can't get an investigation of homicide. I can't get an investigation of being beat up by a cop. I can't get an investigation of anything. And I'm not the only victim. There's eight victims. I only know one lady I could talk to because everybody else is on non disclosure.

7:29 – 8:126

So, you know, I don't know what to do. Is is there any way you could force an investigation? Like I said, I only know one lady. She's 65 years old. She was homeless. She was targeted. They're doing some creepy crap out here, but no one's investigating. And I can't get a review if they wanna investigate. Like, all they do is like, hey. You weren't here this time. If you don't turn if there's no paperwork anymore, then they act like you didn't get in there. Alright.

8:12 – 8:520

Thank you. Okay. Do we have any callers at this time? There are no callers at this time. Thank you. We'll now move forward on the consent calendar. With that being said, does anyone wish to pull an item from the consent calendar for discussion? No. Do we have a motion to approve the consent calendar as is?

8:554

Move to approve.

8:570

Okay. Motion by Hanley and seconded by

9:067

Lundy.

9:090

Very good. Okay. So we're gonna go ahead now at this time and get a vote.

9:34 – 9:538

So motion passes. Thank you. Okay.

9:55 – 10:350

So, we will now move to the discussion portion of the agenda. Okay. At this time, we invite public comments regarding the item. The public is invited to participate in person or by calling (951) 826-5888. Comment on this item. Press to be placed in the queue and to speak. To participate by Zoom, select and raise the hand function to speak. You'll have three minutes. Do we have any comments from our audience? We have no callers at this time.

10:390

Do we have any comments from our commissioners? Commissioner Teichert?

10:49 – 11:109

Yes, thank you. I served on the ad hoc committee. Believe I was the chair of the committee with Steve Bell and Jeffrey Ward was also on that as well. And do we have it on the screen

11:108

at all the bylaws, the proposed bylaws?

11:14 – 11:282

We don't. This is just extending the term of the ad hoc agreement. And attached are your red line versions. But, it's not to be discussed. We're just talking about extending it until May 2026.

11:280

Right. Great. Then do we have a motion in favor of that. Do we have a motion to extend the ad hoc committee to May 22?

11:389

I'll make that motion, please.

11:390

2026. Okay. So, a motion by Teichert. Do we have a second? Thank

11:478

you. Okay.

11:52 – 12:060

So, with that being said, at this time, looks like we have no moving down. Okay. Item number six. Already formation of the Ad Hoc Committee. At this time, we invite public comments regarding the item.

12:06 – 12:380

The public is invited to participate in person or by calling (951) 826-8568 to comment on this item. Press to be placed in the queue and to speak. To speak. Do we have any comments from our audience? We have no callers at this time.

12:43 – 13:240

Did we take a vote? We have the motions. Motion to extend and second. Do we need to take a vote at that time? Okay. Right. Alrighty. So, I'm gonna go ahead and just remind the commissioners we need to go back and vote on our discussion item to have an extension of the ad hoc committee to 05/22/2026. That was motion by Teichert. And, we do have a second on that. Can we go ahead and vote?

13:332

So, it passes unanimously.

13:35 – 13:490

Okay. Thank you. Alrighty. Back to where we were. Do we have any motion with regards to the following? Do we have any comments from our commissioners on this matter or a motion to form an ad hoc committee?

13:59 – 14:2210

Of the city attorney's office when you form an ad hoc committee what you want to do is be specific about the purpose and then to identify a time limit so in the in terms of your discussion over what that is, the scope and the link, I would strongly advise that you work that out in the discussion section of this meeting.

14:290

So, Okay. Do we have any comments from any of the commissioners? Any discussion?

14:3810

The report, does it give the purpose?

14:43 – 15:112

So the recommendations is to approve the establishment of an ad hoc committee with the specific purpose of reviewing and providing input on proposed updates to the Riverside Police Department complaint policy and procedure. The second recommendation is to appoint three commissioners to serve on the ad hoc committee. And the third recommendation is direct that the ad hoc committee be of limited duration and dissolve automatically upon completion of its assigned purpose.

15:12 – 15:2910

So, would advise that your purposes are sufficiently articulated in the recommendation that the components by asking for a certain number of commissioners is sufficient legally but you'll have to decide the length. You to set a timeline on that one.

15:33 – 15:480

So and this is to approve updates to the complaint procedure. Do you have anybody first and foremost who wants to comment or discuss the matter with regards to scope and length and a timeline?

15:49 – 16:047

I just had a question if this is a new ad hoc. I think I remembered it coming up at a previous meeting but can you refresh my memory as to why we are proposing to form this ad hoc?

16:06 – 16:4410

I can't address the issue to why. What prompted the need for it? Perhaps our investigator consultant can help with that. What I can tell you is that you're allowed to do so and encouraged to do so It just allows to take outside of the scope of this meeting and still comply with all the Brown Act requirements a small subgroup to work through all the nuts and bolts of it so that it doesn't take up too much time here so that it can be presented in a more streamlined fashion to the whole committee when it finishes.

16:46 – 17:244

I could address that if you'd like. The Riverside Police Department is in a position now to make some changes to the complaint policy procedure and they were seeking input from an ad hoc as far as what it is that they want to do and have a discussion about it and the length of time would be three months. That during that period of time there would be a time where you would be able to meet, they would like to seek some input from an ad hoc committee. That's what it's for. It's specific to one particular policy within the policy manual.

17:250

Do we know the frequency of meetings during the course of those three months?

17:294

Likely would be one time.

17:330

Within the three months, one meeting?

17:35 – 17:574

Yes, it's just trying to make an adjustment. We could say three months, it could probably be done sooner than that, but I think no longer than that time period. This is something that the commission did once before and it was something that was done within a one or two hour meeting with the command staff at the police department. And so that's likely what we're gonna see here as well.

18:02 – 18:3210

So, it's not an ad hoc committee for like what we're doing with the bylaws and the policies and procedures to change your own rules which you're allowed to do. This appears to be that the police department's asking for advice and an advisory role from an ad hoc committee of this group. So, would envision that you would have the ad hoc committee and then report back to the body as to what your thoughts were so that the body then could make a recommendation or an advisory.

18:33 – 18:524

The police department is seeking a recommendation as far as what it is that they want to change And so it would be reporting back that this is what they wanted to do and you could bring it to the the entire group if you choose which you likely should do and then get back with the police department.

18:53 – 19:0410

Well, you would do a debate and then talk about what you wanna do or what your advice would be as a group and then vote on it. And then it would be conveyed back to them.

19:044

Correct.

19:063

Question. So are we looking to establish that subcommittee identify members today this evening? Yes.

19:1510

Okay. That's precisely what's on the agenda.

19:173

And we're talking three what's the number?

19:214

It would likely just take one meeting with the

19:243

sorry the number of individuals on the three. Three. Okay. Alright.

19:2910

It doesn't have to be three it's just what they're recommending. Oh, it does? Okay. I'm gonna check that. We

19:404

wanna make sure there's no quorum. It'd be three.

19:50 – 20:070

Okay. So, at this time, are there any commissioners interested in being part of this ad hoc committee in which the police department will be discussing the revision of their complaint policy and procedures? I would be willing to be on that

20:077

seeing that it's the only minimal meet once one time.

20:130

Okay. So, we have two commissioners. And, anyone else?

20:2210

Okay. So, we don't need three. You need two. Two is the minimum.

20:302

So we're voting on three things tonight. One establishing an ad hoc committee. Two voting on the members. And then three the duration.

20:44 – 21:240

The two commissions that have volunteered? We're going to go through it again. Tillman and Ferguson. Alrighty. So, with that being said, are there any more discussion points or shall we move to a vote? We have three items to vote on as was indicated. Okay. With that being said, we can get a motion to approve the establishment of the Ad Hoc Committee. For the purpose of revision of the complaint procedure. Looks like Dilman and Lundy.

21:25 – 21:4210

So I would suggest that what I'm hearing is that you're motioning to take a set up an ad hoc committee for the purpose of advising the police department on their complaint process. Is that accurate?

21:42 – 21:574

Yeah, the police department is is looking at some changes and they wanted to discuss those changes with the members of the commission and seek any input they may have in regard to what change they want to make.

21:5710

So that's the purpose and that's the setup of the committee. The motion is to set up that committee for that purpose.

22:060

And we did have a motion to approve and did have a second. So, at this time we can go ahead

22:1110

and move forward with the vote.

22:170

Okay. Great.

22:218

Motion approved. So, the

22:222

motion passes for recommendation number one.

22:25 – 22:420

And moving forward, we're going to identify those participants as members of the ad hoc. I believe there were two. So, they've been identified. And with that being said, I'd like to know if we have a motion to approve.

22:454

Motion to accept. Second.

22:5010

So, you want to state the names? So, motion to identify the ad hoc committee as the two people. Yeah.

22:560

And so, the two commissioners we have are Dilman and Ferguson. Is that correct? Okay. So, we can go ahead and vote on that.

23:132

The motion passes for Commissioner Dillon and Commissioner Ferguson to be on that.

23:20 – 23:330

Thank you. And now the third item we need to discuss is the length which is a three month window of time equivalent to potentially one meeting for advisory purposes. You. So do we have a motion for that? Thank you.

23:41 – 24:030

May? May 30. Okay. So a motion for the duration to be three months, potentially one meeting and ending May 30. And I thought it was Lundy. Okay. Lundy motioned and Second. Second. I'm sorry. Huntley?

24:038

Okay. Huntley. Alrighty.

24:080

So, that covers our three items. Let's go ahead and vote on that.

24:182

So, that passes unanimously also. Okay.

24:210

So, very good. So thank you for that.

24:24 – 24:374

I will then reach out to Commissioner Ferguson and Commissioner Dillon and run a couple of dates by you and we'll see what we can work out. I'll be in touch.

24:37 – 25:120

Thank you. We appreciate that. We'll now move to closed session. I'm sorry, number seven. Sorry about that. Okay. 2025 CPRC work plan update and draft 2026 work plan. Looks like at this time, we invite public comments regarding the matter. This item, the public is invited to participate in person or by calling (951) 825-8588 to comment on this item. Press 9 to be placed in the queue and 6 to speak.

25:12 – 25:280

To participate by Zoom, select the raise hand function to speak and you will have three minutes. Do we have any comments from our audience? No comments? We have no callers callers at this

25:288

time. Do

25:310

we have any comments from our commissioners?

25:36 – 26:117

I just have a question on I don't know what page number, but number four, community engagement, which is one of our roles. How is the process decided as to when we have a booth at a community event I was at one and saw a booth I can't remember was last year but how how is that process how is it decided what we outreach to so it's up to

26:112

this commission if they want to attend any events within the city and set up a booth or a table and have your business cards and speak to the community about what it is the does.

26:22 – 26:387

Does that include things like having a car and the black history parade that just took place? I'm sorry? There was a black black history parade in Riverside. Have we ever participated in things like that? CPRC, not that.

26:38 – 27:042

I don't know. But it's up to this commission if they want to go. But you would be going as a commissioner, and you can talk to the community and let them know what the CPRC does. And if you want to attend, we can give you little cards of what it is that CPRC does do and your business cards if you want to pass them out and encourage people to attend or participate in the meetings. Okay. Thank you. Okay.

27:06 – 27:560

So, thank you everyone. Okay. So, at this time, we're seeking any discussion if we want to keep the work plan as proposed or make any changes, recommendations, comments. Commissioners? Are there any comments or discussion items regarding the work plan objectives or status updates?

28:020

So, if not, we have a motion to keep it as indicated here for 2026.

28:127

I'll make a motion to keep the work plan objectives as it is.

28:200

For 2026? For 2026. Okay.

28:253

And, I'll second. Second.

28:300

And, can we get a vote on that?

28:432

So the motion yeah motion passes unanimously so your 2026 work plans will remain the same

28:508

as 2025 all

28:520

right thank you

28:58 – 30:1010

before we go into closed session I want to give you some rules as a commission on something that I think you might want to you may or may not want to address in a situation where somebody has come to the Commission and given three minutes of comment, I want to tell you if one of the Commissioners wants to respond, what the scope of the are and how that's handled, whether you want to deal with it today or in the future just so that there's clarity. So a commissioner may provide brief responses such as factual information or clarifications directly related to any question the public might ask during a public comment. They may refer the matter to CPRC staff, the city manager or other appropriate resources for further handling. They can request that the topic be placed on a future agenda for discussion if it warrants. However, Commissioners cannot engage in debate, extended discussion, or deliberation among themselves as general public comment pertains to non agendized items.

30:10 – 30:2510

No actions or decisions can be taken on such matters during the meeting. It is entirely up to the Chair if the chair wants to ask whether there are commissioners that want to comment on that.

30:250

Oh, I absolutely do want to ask. Are there any commissioners who'd like to comment on that as it relates to public comment?

30:3410

Today. Just today. Thank

30:450

you for that. Much appreciated. Okay, at this time we will now move to closed session. Madam Secretary, please announce the closed session case.

30:55 – 31:142

So, pursuant to government code 54,957, the commission will discuss the following cases. PC two five zero nine zero three eight, PC two five one zero zero four five, and PC two six zero one zero zero one.

34:11 – 34:230

We will now resume from closed session. At this time we will have the city attorney report on closed session actions.

34:29 – 35:2210

Chairperson Gutierrez there are no reportable actions but I do have to report on an error. It was my mistake and I apologize I won't let this happen again but when we reviewed the rules with the minimum committee members for the ad hoc committee is two but you also need a chair so essentially it's three so we did not validly form an ad hoc committee pursuant to the discussion earlier so the options at this point and my recommendation is that the chair recall the matter for reconsideration now that I've advised you of the air and before the end of the meeting and then take it up and validly form one if you can find the three minimum. Of the three you have to appoint the chair.

35:23 – 35:430

Okay, so we're gonna go ahead and recall that matter as it relates to three commissioners who might want to be participating in this ad hoc committee. With that being said, we now have Commissioner Lundy who volunteer. Well, first

35:4310

we have to do a motion for the reconsideration.

35:470

So, we're gonna go ahead and take a motion for reconsideration of the Ad Hoc Committee and the members that will be participating. So do we have a motion?

35:593

So moved. Second.

36:03 – 36:200

Commissioner Ward and Commissioner Hundley. Very good. So with that being said, at this juncture we want to revisit that and ensure that we have the appropriate numbers accordingly. That would be voting on that motion. Yes, let's go ahead and vote.

36:2010

I think that would be the safe bet,

36:220

Yes, thank you.

36:2310

And again, that's my fault and I apologize for

36:250

making Thank you.

36:312

And the motion passes to reconsider.

36:34 – 36:520

Thank you. Okay. So now, we're looking for the volunteers. Okay. So we have, commissioner Lundy, commissioner Dillon, and Commissioner Ferguson.

36:5210

And you'll have to identify the chair.

36:590

Commissioner Dillon, will he be the chair? Okay. Very good. So, with that being said, let's go ahead and vote on that.

37:10 – 37:2110

We do. We have to go a motion to form an ad hoc committee as previously identified We don't have to go through that whole process for that purpose.

37:358

Second? Till March 30.

37:3910

Until March 3. March or May?

37:418

May. May. Right.

37:450

Those are separate motions. There were three. Right.

37:4910

Correct. She's right about that.

37:532

we have a second?

37:543

Second.

38:148

Commissioner Henry, can you go? Okay.

38:192

So, the motion passes to have Commissioner Dillon as the chair, Commissioner Lundy, and Commissioner Ferguson as members of the Ad Hoc Committee.

38:31 – 38:550

Alrighty. With that, we're going to move to brief reports on conferences, seminars, and meetings attended by CPRC. Do any of the commissioners want to comment? Alrighty. So, we're moving to item 13, ad hoc committee update, bylaws, policies and procedures.

38:578

Commissioner? Tanker?

39:019

Sure. We've had several meetings actually to discuss this.

39:078

I'm not sure how many we've had. Three

39:109

or at least three meetings to discuss this. So we're getting very close and we look forward

39:178

to having it agendaized and discussed by the rest of the commission.

39:230

Very good. Thank 14, ad hoc committee update RIPA.

39:33 – 39:593

Yes. We've met at least twice. Myself, commissioners Lundy and Teichert. We do have recommendations, tentative recommendations and questions to bring back to the commission. So we'll need to get that agendized hopefully for the next meeting. And then, we can present and discuss the items that we've itemized.

40:000

Okay. Very good. Thank you. So, now we are at item 15, Riverside Police Department update.

40:17 – 40:3811

Hello, everybody. I'll just make this really quick. There's considerable things going on in the police department over the last couple months because we haven't seen each other since just before Christmas. So, I cannot believe it's been that long already. But the department was awarded a $1,000,000 grant from the federal government to start standing up a real time crime center.

40:39 – 41:1111

This is a movement in the right direction, what a lot of other larger agencies are doing in the state, to start trying to set up more camera systems, have people monitoring when crimes are occurring, to get on a camera and identify suspects and their directions of travel and things like that. We should be working towards that very soon. Starting next month, we're going to start testing different vendors for a potential startup of a drone as a first responder program. If any of you are aware of what that is, it's pretty cool. If you want me to explain a little bit.

41:11 – 41:4811

Drone as a first responder program is if, say, an officer is dispatched to a certain call, like say a lady just her purse stolen downtown, the dispatcher can basically notify a drone team and they can send a drone right to the location of the call. And then the officers responding can get a real time live video of what's going on while they're responding to the call. They can follow suspect in cars and things like that, and it's pretty cool. It's something some of the other agencies in the in the immediate area and across the country are starting to look into. We were one of the first drone agencies in the state of California.

41:48 – 42:2711

So, this is moving in the right direction. I think we'll be able to solve a lot of crimes once we get this stood up. If any of you haven't heard, it looks like our Orange PD is moving forward and is scheduled to be evacuated so they can tear it down in late spring, early summer. And the new station project should start construction in late summer, early fall if all goes as planned and is expected to last about two to three years. Our current station has been there since like 1962 and it leaks water, the air conditioning don't work and it floods. So, it'll be nice to have a place that we don't have all sorts of problems going on every day with what's going on in the building.

42:277

Can I ask you a

42:284

quick question?

42:2811

You can ask me anything you want.

42:297

What are they have they found a place to put the current residence,

42:373

if you will?

42:37 – 43:0511

Yeah. Yeah. So, if you go down to our mag station, there's a building there. It was a Jenny Craig. It's got a bunch of offices, a conference room, and things like that. It's owned by the city, so we're gonna move in there. It's been vacant for quite a quite a period of time. So we're gonna go in there and temporarily be housed some of our office staff in there. The rest of us are gonna double up in offices around the city and just kinda make it work for a couple years. But we know at the end, it'll be worth it. Thank you.

43:05 – 43:210

I have a question about the drones that are gonna be utilized. Is there like a framework with parameters as to where the drone should be expected to be seen by community members? Are there boundaries with residential parameters? Or should we expect to see them over our homes?

43:21 – 43:4511

Yeah. So right now, the way we're gonna deploy the test is like in the downtown area and also the MAG Corridor over by the businesses over there. We don't foresee right now having anything in the residences and over homes. But I'm not saying that it couldn't happen if a violent crime or something were to occur in that area. We wouldn't send a drone, but it would be for the specific purpose of identifying suspects. We're not gonna be looking in people's windows or anything like that. That's not the purpose of it.

43:450

And are they identifiable black and white drones? Or how does one know whether or not they're affiliated with the police department?

43:5011

They probably wouldn't know that but you could always call and ask.

43:540

And do you suppose they'll be over the riverbed at all?

43:5711

At some point probably, yes. Alright.

44:000

In terms of the use of technology, because that's amazing. Congratulations for us.

44:0511

Well, we haven't done it yet, but we're trying to get there.

44:070

Exploring it. Yes. Congratulations for being obviously so progressive. We're the first in the state I'm hearing.

44:1311

Well, for our drone program, not for the drone as a first responder. We're trying to expand into that space right now.

44:18 – 44:290

Okay. And is there any artificial intelligence being implemented in terms of use in the department at all besides separate from the drones?

44:29 – 44:4911

Yeah. So there is some AI technology that is coming out for our body cameras that we're testing. We haven't implemented it yet. But basically what it would allow officers to do is to summarize calls based on conversations that occurred during the conversations on calls. They could say, hey, summarize that or help me write my report.

44:49 – 45:3311

And it's supposedly supposed to save us time and allow the officers to become editors rather than authors and make sure that the information they're putting in there is accurate. We haven't fully started testing it yet, so it's something that's coming. But there's also other benefits. I know we've had issues with translations and things like that on the blue tablets in the past. A lot of these body cameras now that we're testing are supposed to have the capability of translating 20 different languages, the most popular languages. And you can have a phone conversation with somebody through the body camera and you don't have to call for a translator. So that's a big piece that we wanna look into because sometimes as you know, there's a whole bunch of different dialects and languages and it could take quite a bit amount of time to get somebody there. And it also helps prevent miscommunication and issues that could arise from that as well.

45:340

Wow, these are very exciting moves in the right direction. So, I anticipate in the future we'll be hearing more about these.

45:4211

Absolutely. Once we actually get them working, we would love to share them with you, yes.

45:460

Wonderful. Thank so Thank you. We appreciate that. Absolutely. Are there any questions?

45:5111

Commissioner Dillon?

45:52 – 46:045

Yeah, just one more question about the drone as first responder. Are they going to do the remote launch? In other words, they're gonna have their basically small sheds on top of buildings that the drone automatically launches from?

46:045

Or will it require, you said yes.

46:07 – 46:4611

Sorry, yes. Yeah, so it would be both. So the capabilities now are pretty impressive. Like they can be on a building or wherever you choose to put them and it looks almost like a large mail. Like remember an old mailbox when you were a kid and the door opened and that's kind of how it is and it goes in. It uses the same wireless charging technology your phone uses when you put it on a pad or something similar to charge it. The drone lands on this big pad and it charges the same way your cellphone does. And then when it's fully charged, it can open the lid and it'll fly back out and deploy from there. But yeah, it can go off dispatch CAD. Obviously we'll have somebody monitoring and make sure it's operating safely and stuff like that. We'll have an ASHA certified drone pilot at all times.

46:465

Right, Very interesting.

46:4711

Yeah. So, it's something we're exploring. It's not finalized. It's not perfected but something we're trying to figure out.

46:530

I'd like to have an opportunity to observe if they ever do.

46:5811

Absolutely. I get

46:580

to a point where they're ready to explore it a little more.

47:0111

I would too. I think it's gonna be awesome. We'd love to share that with you.

47:040

Thank you sir. Very much appreciated.

47:073

I think it's the same question. But centrally operated

47:120

in terms of where the pilots are or the the people manipulating the the drone? Correct. Controlling the drone?

47:1911

Absolutely correct.

47:203

Yep. It's centralized. Okay.

47:2111

It's cool. It's different.

47:23 – 47:405

Right? It's interesting. I I happen to have some background in the in the drone world. You can actually do handoffs too from a person that's sitting in a building here to a person in the field can now take control if they have the right remote control. It's an amazing process then.

47:4111

Yes. Absolutely.

47:440

Are there any updates on new police officers that have been recruited and when the next experience with them, be it a graduation or something, is coming out?

47:52 – 48:1211

Yeah. So, our next graduation is I can get you the specific details, but it's gonna be I think it's March. It's March 5, I think, or March 6. It's that Thursday, but it's in San Bernardino. I can get the information to Frank if any of you'd like to join us. And if you're gonna join us, please let us know. We'd love to get a spot reserved for you.

48:120

Oh, beautiful. Thank you. We

48:1311

got Absolutely. That

48:143

Yes. I

48:1711

think that one's SPSO, correct.

48:200

Beautiful. Good news. Any other comments, commissioners? Okay. Thank you so much.

48:2811

Thank you.

48:290

So, with that being said, we're gonna move on to item number 16, city manager's office update?

48:362

I had no update.

48:370

Alrighty. And we now are going to have Frank come up, mister Hampton, and share.

48:45 – 49:024

Yes. I'd like to ask that we agendize the Tracy case for further action for March. There's additional information, so I want to agendize it so I can talk about it.

49:02 – 49:190

Okay. There any conversation points with regards to that case or anybody want to add anything to the agenda?

49:203

I'd like to add to the agenda for the RIPA follow-up with the commission.

49:300

Very good. Alrighty. So, moving on items for

49:358

community police review commission. So,

49:40 – 49:520

with that being said. Okay. Thank you everyone. Our meeting will be adjourned. I'm not sure what time it is. 07:55. Thank you.
