[0:06] Since 2010, because of the growth in our community, [0:09] we have many people [0:10] that not only live here every day, [0:12] but also visit our city on a daily basis. [0:15] Our Public Safety department has grown [0:18] to try to meet the needs of that community. [0:21] Our Community Impact Unit was formed last year. [0:24] We regularly hold meetings to connect with the community, [0:27] and we don't have a great space to do that right now. [0:30] In our Community Support Unit. [0:31] We have one detective and two embedded social workers, [0:35] and we will soon grow to two detectives with two embedded [0:38] social workers. [0:39] They work in a pretty tight space right now, so [0:42] having a private area for them to really focus on meeting [0:46] the needs of their clientele would be imperative [0:49] as we add more officers to help make these programs a success [0:52] and keep the community safe, which is our top priority. [0:56] Our garage space right now is at a premium, [0:59] and we don't have a secured access to our back parking lot. [1:03] So what we are looking for [1:05] is a better way to serve our community. [1:07] More space, [1:08] more opportunities for officers [1:10] to use the tools that they have, [1:12] and just a better use of this public safety campus.

Assessment of Public Safety Department Space and Operational Needs

No official action or vote recorded.

The department has grown significantly since 2010 to meet the needs of a growing community and daily visitors. The Community Impact Unit lacks adequate space for community engagement meetings. The Community Support Unit, comprising detectives and social workers, operates in a 'tight space' which hinders their ability to serve clientele privately and effectively. Furthermore, garage space is at a premium, and the back parking lot lacks secured access. The department aims to acquire more space and improve existing facilities to better serve the community, provide officers with necessary tools, and optimize the public safety campus.
