This legislation would require law enforcement agencies, coroners, and medical examiners to take certain actions in deaths classified as suicide, overdose, or accident when red flags are present for indicators of concealed domestic violence homicide.

Despite the endless promises of our police department, we are not doing better for victims of domestic violence. And we received a pretty clear audit report that outlined those many shortcomings.

Many reports have borne this out. The consent decree calls out specifically the ways that MPD has failed the Native community.

My resolution would require that before we issue an RFP for design services that this council must explicitly vote to approve of proof of con- concept and facility programming.

It would not be an open air range. The purpose of of a range is for a fluidity and to be proficient and to be practiced. It's definitely part of a training. It's something that we envision what even be subterranean.

Today we are asking council to spend $6 million to buy to buy a land without a full plan of the project and how will this uh $38 million project as we mentioned will be paid. Uh my belief is that um the state has not taken any action at all.

Is it true that we purchase properties all the time for the vast number of needs that we have at the city and can you explain that? Because one of the things that Director O'Brien spoke about was about being able to use this piece of land for any number of needs that would maybe not have a public safety training facility on it.

The consent decree means that our city has to basically bankrupt ourselves in order to have police officers that do not abuse the human or civil liberties of our black, brown, and additions residents is just preposterous. We do not have to allow ourselves to continuously be put in a negative net financial position by one department.

If you can get it at a discount now, purchase it while it's on special. Because we know no one's putting any other opportunities out here to make any great deals of money that everybody's so excited about spending.

We won't have accountability in the police department until we actually hold officers accountable for their actions.

I've been asking these questions for a very long time behind the scenes trying to get answers to them. Uh the budget chair and I have had many, many discussions about this. Um I thought it was easier to get answers to questions and because I could not get the answers get questions answered at all, we had to go this route with this legislative directive.

The motorcycle unit is a secondary assignment, so it's not officer's primary assignment. It's it it is secondary. Um it is very common in most major city police departments around the country. Um we are looking to use them not specifically for enforcement, uh more for, you know, both in the downtown core around a lot of these large congested events.
