Description
At Wednesday's Board of Supervisor meeting, Chesterfield County Sheriff, Karl Leonard provided the Board a Supervisors with an annual Chesterfield County Sheriff's Office update.
B
Good
afternoon,
members
of
the
board
and
the
public
and
and
those
in
the
audience
again
as
we
start
out
every
meeting
with
an
everyday
excellence.
It's
an
example
of
just
one
of
the
employees
of
chesterfield
county.
Just
doing
something.
Extra
special
on
behalf
of
serving
the
citizens
today
is
no
exception,
and
we
have
sheriff
leonard
here
today
to
express
his
thanks
and
really
our
thanks
in
reference
to
one
of
his
deputies
in
response
to
a
house,
fire.
C
C
It
works
so
deputy
marshall
is
here
today
standing
behind
me
and
we're
very
proud
of
her
on
march
22nd
at
8
pm,
she
was
arriving
home
from
work
iron
gate
subdivision.
She
was
in
full,
uniform
and
while
she
was
on
her
way
home,
her
sister
called
her
telling
her
about
a
house
fire
just
up
the
road
from
her
house.
C
Deputy
marshall
and
her
sister,
jordan
kohl's
placed
the
children
in
the
safety
and
warmth
of
jordan's
car
comforted
them
and
immediately
began
to
provide
comfort
and
build
rapport
with
them.
This
provided
an
invaluable
tool
for
the
fire
department
and
assisted
their
investigators
in
gaining
the
necessary
information
to
better
serve
the
mother
and
her
children.
C
C
E
D

Like
that,
we're
so
glad
you're
joining
a
great
team
and
having
a
great
person
there,
so
it
makes
a
big
difference,
and
you
know
the
essence
of
what
we
do
involves
people
people
who
make
a
difference,
and
you
are
just
that
person.
So
we
thank
you
for
joining
the
team
and
helping
us
to
be
even
better.
Thank
you.
F
D
F
C
C
As
you
all
know,
our
mission
statement
is
up
there,
but
probably
what's
more
important
to
us.
Is
our
creed
and
that's
what
guy
does
every
day
guides
us
every
day?
It's
on
all
of
our
offices.
It's
posted
it's
on
all
of
our
cars
and
their
creed.
Is
it's
a
duty
to
serve
passion
to
do
with
dignity
and
respect,
and
that
really
is
in
the
fiber
of
all
of
our
employees.
We
want
to
treat
everybody
with
dignity,
respect
as
we
deliver
this
first
class
service
to
everybody
in
chessville
county
as
you've
probably
seen.
C
Many
businesses
and
corporations
have
shifted
to
a
plus
status
to
highlight
improved
services,
better
product
and
increased
resources.
The
chesterfield
sheriff's
office
envisions
itself
in
the
same
manner
a
sheriff's
office
plus
delivering
far
beyond
the
minimum
expectations.
One
would
have
for
sheriff's
office.
C
C
This
saves
the
court
immense
amount
of
time,
because
all
the
paperwork
is
completed
beforehand,
underneath
that
is
one
of
our
deputies.
Our
canine
handlers,
our
two
canine
dogs,
one
is
explosives
and
weapons.
The
other
one
is
drugs,
get
employed
throughout
the
region
and
virginia
to
help
other
agencies,
as
well
as
in
chesterfield
county.
Really,
you
know
delivering
a
service
that
is
much
needed
throughout
our
region.
C
C
C
We
also
seen
a
marked
increase
in
the
number
of
public
meetings.
We
provide
provide
security,
for
I
probably
don't
need
to
tell
you
this,
as
our
citizens
become
more
engaged
in
our
community
and
rightfully
so.
These
meetings
have
increased
in
size
and
frequency
and
through
it
all
our
deputies
provide
exemplary
service
in
maintaining
the
order,
be
it
town
hall
meetings
for
various
boards
or
the
actual
board
meetings
for
school
board,
planning,
commission
and
the
board
of
supervisors.
C
C
C
Now,
what
we
saw
last
year
probably
was
an
anomaly,
because
this
year
we
see
our
numbers
going
back
up
to
around
90
100.
9100
is
still
going
to
be
on
par.
I
think
what
we
see
for
the
leveling.
I
will
tell
you
that
just
yesterday,
department
of
corrections
picked
up
a
number
of
our
out
of
compliant
inmates.
We've
seen
this
happen
through
the
course
of
the
last
week,
both
here
and
at
riverside
with
our
inmates
and
our
population
numbers
are
decreasing
again,
so
we
expect
that
to
level
off
somewhere
around
nine
thousand.
I
think.
C
C
C
The
other
thing
we've
seen
is
a
marked
increase
in
a
number
of
people
trying
to
smuggle
drugs
into
our
jail.
Thanks
to
this
board
two
years
ago
were
able
to
purchase
a
full
body
scanner
that
full
blood
scanner
has
proved
immensely
its
worth
to
us
in
detecting
people
have
concealed
drugs,
paraphernalia
and
other
contraband
inside
their
person.
C
C
Our
warrants
section
delivers
or
transacts
about
34
000
transactions
a
year.
This
has
been
a
place.
We've
lagged
for
many
years
in
our
service
capabilities,
but
thank
you
to
the
board
for
this
year's
budget.
Fy
23
budget.
We're
able
to
increase
our
staffing
there
and
go
to
24
7
operations,
which
is
much
needed,
and
I
appreciate
that
support
our
classification
section
again.
We
had
92
000
inmates
enter
chessville
county
jail,
64
6400.
Excuse
me,
classification
and
file
reviews
were
con.
C
What's
that
that
went
really
big
yeah,
not
64,
000
6400
and
then
400
offenders
assigned
to
alternative
sentencing
program.
So
just
a
little
bit
of
background,
it's
not
simply
you
get
arrested,
you
come
to
jail
and
we
put
you
in
a
cell.
We
have
to
classify
you.
We
try
to
do
our
best
to
keep
violent
people
from
non-violent
people
rival
gang
members
from
rival
gang
members,
older
individuals
from
younger
individuals,
and
we
try
to
really
segregate
people
to
where
it's
best
for
their
safety
and
well-being.
C
C
As
you
know,
over
the
last
few
years,
we're
one
of
only
16
jurisdictions
nationwide
to
be
selected
for
the
esteemed
department
of
justice,
building
bridges
grant
we're
also
one
of
only
six
jurisdictions
in
virginia
to
receive
the
department
of
criminal
justice
services.
Mental
health
pilot
grant
today,
I'm
proud
to
announce
that
we
have
been
selected
to
participate
in
a
very
distinguished
research
study
being
conducted
by
harvard
university
in
conjunction
with
the
national
commission
on
correctional
health
care.
This
prestigious
study
was
limited
to
40
jails,
nationwide,
of
which
tesla
was
the
only
one
from
virginia
selected.
C
Second
c
is
our
courts.
What
I'd
like
to
highlight
in
this
picture
again
from
the
support
from
the
board
is
the
top
right
picture?
Is
our
new
reconfigured
entry
way
to
the
main
courthouse
all
of
these
panels
and
glass
panels
and
and
wood
panels,
all
firearms
resistant,
but
it
also
provides
easier
access
for
citizens
coming
in.
C
C
C
We
are
probably-
and
I
don't
even
know-
what's
probably
one
of
the
only
safe
exchange
zones
that
is
actually
monitored
by
a
live
deputy
24
hours
a
day,
seven
days
a
week.
In
addition
to
that,
we
have
a
panic
button
and
an
array
of
camera
systems
on
it.
As
you
can
see,
the
majority
of
use
we
get
is
for
child
custody
cases,
and
infant
transfers
over
1500
occurred
in
2021,
and
that's
that's
a
snippet
number
and
then
again,
695
were
goods
were
exchanged.
C
D
After
having
been,
I
guess,
ripped
off
in
a
property
exchange
in
a
previous
transaction,
so
they
have
switched,
they
have
an
online
store
and
they've
switched
their
whole
model
to
this
being
a
part
of
what
they
do
now
and
I
think
you're,
seeing
more
and
more
of
that
get
out
there.
But
I
want
to
encourage
you.
This
is
a
wonderful
program.
C
E
C
C
It's
it's
not
something
you
have
to
sign
up,
for
anybody
can
use
it
24
hours
a
day.
We
do
have
it
monitored,
24
hours
a
day
by
a
deputy,
and
that
deputy
keeps
track
of
every
time
somebody
pulls
in
there.
I
will
say
sometimes
you'll
go
there.
You'll
see
people
actually
couple
spots
before
it
or
after
it
also
conducting
business,
because
we
have
that
many
people
using
it
now.
It's
just,
I
think,
a
very
safe
tool
that
our
citizens
can
take
advantage
of.
C
C
This
picture
in
particular
on
the
top
right
is
one
I
cherish
as
it
depicts
firsthand
the
great
relationship
our
deputies
share,
with
chief
katz's
officers
in
2021,
our
members
of
our
civil
process
unit,
our
deputies
conducted
227
traffic
stops.
This
doesn't
seem
like
a
lot
but
consider
that
as
not
their
primary
job
function.
C
C
E
C
Yes,
so-
and
I
appreciate
it,
but
you
can
imagine
what
a
citizen
sees
a
uniform
deputy
standing
in
front
of
a
car,
that's
parked
illegally
in
a
handicap
or
a
fire
lane,
take
no
action.
What
they
must.
Think
of
you
know
the
sheriff's
office
and,
quite
honestly,
the
police
department,
because
many
don't
know
the
difference
and
that's
just
something
we
wanted
to
avoid
and
be
able
to
serve
what
we
could
serve.
Thank.
E
C
C
A
community
is
very
important
to
us.
We
feel
if
it
was
not
for
the
community.
We
would
not
have
a
sheriff's
office
today,
so
we
do
invest
a
lot
of
time
in
our
in
our
community.
As
you
can
see
on
this
slide,
the
play
is
safe.
Id
inmate
outreach
court
tours
concealed
carry
handgun
safety
courses,
which
have
been
the
most
popular
we've
done
they're
at
capacity
every
month
when
we
hold
these
courses,
and
the
cost
to
go
to
this
course
is
a
food
donation
to
the
food
bank
chesterfield
food
bank.
C
C
Workforce,
as
you
can
see
here,
our
workforce
does
more
than
just
pick
up
trash.
They
actually
have
built.
Many
walkways
at
county
parks
helped
with
other
construction.
We
have
a
workforce
that
works
at
animal
control
cleans
the
facility
every
morning,
and
then
we
do
a
lot
of
the
gateway
entries
to
chesterfield
county
trying
to
keep
them
clean
with
the
fy
23
budget.
C
That
was
just
approved,
we'll
be
able
to
increase
these
teams
from
four
to
five
and
then
have
them
assigned
to
each
magisterial
district,
where
they
will
be
focused
on
addressing
issues
within
within
that
specific
district
once
in
place.
I
will
come
back
to
each
of
you
and
advise
you
which
team
is
assigned
specifically
to
your
district,
so
you
can
easily
reach
out
to
them
to
address
those
issues
within
your
districts,
such
as
trash,
pickups,
landscaping
and
overall
beautification
process.
A
We
thank
them
for
that
because
I
can
tell
you
trash
traffic.
Are
the
number
one
and
number
two
and
they
reverse
themselves,
sometimes
with
the
number
one
and
number
two
complaint,
and
even
though
that
trash
is
vdot's
responsibility,
the
county
does
a
lot
of
work
through
community
enhancement
to
put
together
litter
campaigns,
but
your
organization
and
these
inmates,
quite
frankly,
do
a
tremendous
amount
to
help
improve
the
community
and
I
think
that's
a
win
for
the
citizens
and
a
win
for
them.
So
I
I
really
appreciate
that
absolutely.
Mr.
E
Chairman,
I
want
to
join
that
because
I'm
very
much
motivated
interested
in
doing
that
in
dale.
I
know
certain
areas
we
need
and
we
do
get
complaints
about
trash
and
I'm
welding
a
partner
with
you
and
we're
prepared
to
provide
resources
to
help
you
to
if
you
need
them
to
make
sure
we
get
it
done,
because
the
gateways
into
the
county
are
really
critical.
E
We
have
people
coming
from
all
throughout
the
east
coast
to
our
swim
facilities
from
rva,
national
and
so
having
it
look,
pristine
and,
and
the
very
best
it
can
be-
is
critically
important.
So
what
we
can
do
in
that
area
is
critically
important.
So
thank
you
for
that.
I
applaud
that
effort.
Thank
you.
C
Absolutely
one
of
the
other
things
they
do
is
they
do
sidewalk
and
driveway
snow
removal,
ice
removal
for
county
facilities
around
here,
and
they
also
are
a
big
part
of
christmas
mother
and
they
help
set
it
up
and
staff
it
and
they
really
enjoy
the
christmas
mother
program
themselves,
and
I
I
think
without
christmas
mother,
without
their
help,
chris
mother
would
would
have
a
challenge
on
its
hands.
So
I
appreciate
your
opportunity
and
the
funding
for
this
year
to
increase
that
to
five.
I
think
that's
going
to
be
beneficial
for
everybody,
our
next
program.
C
I
I
really
didn't
give
this
much
publicity.
We
launched
it
in
2021,
it's
our
soccer
program,
sheriff's
office,
community
connection
and
education
representatives.
We
wanted
to
bring
citizens
from
the
county
into
our
processes,
developing
sops
and
policies,
our
promotional
process,
as
well
as
our
hiring
process.
They
sit
at
the
table,
they
ask
the
questions
and
they
have
a
vote
and
whether
we
hire
somebody
or
promote
somebody
giving
our
citizens.
I
think
some
input
and
some
value
to
what
we
do.
It's
been
really
beneficial.
C
It
continues
to
be
well
received
and
I
have
to
tell
you:
we've
learned
a
lot,
especially
in
our
policies.
You
know
we
look
at
it.
You
know
through
a
one-way
microscope.
They
see
it
more
wide
and
they
say
well
what
about
this?
And
what
about
that
and
we
tend
to
incorporate
those
and
it's
been
a
very
big
help
for
us
and
then
just
very
quickly,
just
some
of
the
other
things
that
I
do
in
my
role
as
you
can
see
there,
there's
a
host
of
things
that
I
participate
in.
A
I
don't
have
a
question
necessarily
on
the
performance,
but
I
did
have
two
questions
earlier
that
I
held
didn't
realize
we
were
jumping
in
in
the
middle.
The
first
one
is:
do
you
think
the
reason
for
decrease
in
intakes
has
to
do
with
changes
in
the
marijuana
laws,
or
what
do
you
think
in
general
has
caused
the
decrease
in
intakes.
C
Well
again,
we've
seen
this
decrease
probably
start
seven
years
ago,
so
it
predates
the
new
criminal
justice
reform
laws.
It
predates
covid,
I'm
not
sure
why
we
started
to
see
that
decrease
other
than
I
think
chief
cats
department.
Maybe
the
good
efforts
on
his
crime
prevention
is
actually
have
an
impact
and
resulting
in
a
lower.
That's
the
only
thing
I
can
explain,
because
it
does
predate.
Obviously,
the
new
criminal
justice
reform
laws,
especially
those
that
came
out
in
the
last
year,
so.
A
C
Actually,
I
think
it's
a
combination
of
both
one
we're
able
to
catch
more
because
of
the
x-ray
machine.
Absolutely
you
know
before
that
we
relied
on
some
antiquated
ways.
We
still
use
those
it's
not
a
single
check
system.
It's
a
multi-phase
system
to
check,
however,
with
the
the
rate
of
fentanyl
coming
into
our
county
in
this
country.
C
Fentanyl
is
a
lot
easier
to
smuggle
in
and
we're
seeing
fentanyl
everywhere
now,
fentanyl
is
in
every
drug
and
chief
cats
can
speak
to
it
as
well
fentanyls
and
marijuana
fentanyls
and
crack
fentanyl's
in
everything
heroin.
Everything
is
fentanyl
now
and
it's
easy
to
conceal
and
easy
to
get
into
our
jail.
C
E
Chairman
sheriffs,
thank
you
for
the
update
and
presentation
appreciate
it
very
much.
I
have
a
question
on
your
department's
interactions
with
our
new
public
defender's
office
that
I
met
with
just
a
couple
of
weeks
ago.
I
got
to
tour
that
so
I
know
you're
very
involved
in
it.
How
is
that
going
that
department
and
that
group
right.
C
I
think
it's
going
very
well.
I
will
tell
you
talking
to
the
the
inmates
in
my
jail
they're,
very
receptive
to
they're
actually
getting
to
have
some
a
lot
of
face-to-face
time
with
an
attorney
before
they
initially
appear
before
court.
We
have
worked
hand-in-hand
with
the
public
defender's
office.
We
actually
gave
them
office
space
in
our
jail.
Great
and
we've
got
a
few
more
modifications
to
make.
We
wanted
them
to
be
that
to
be
their
space.
C
Defense
attorneys
still
have
their
meeting
rooms,
but
now
we
have
one
room
specifically
set
aside
for
them
to
ease
that
they
are.
I
can
tell
you
they're
in
our
jail
every
day,
all
day
long
they're
doing
a
yeoman's
job
representing
their
clients
and-
and
I
think
in
the
end,
it's
going
to
be
beneficial
to
everybody.
E
C
C
E
Thank
you
very
much
and
again,
I
applaud
your
efforts
on
the
county
beautification,
that's
something
that
I
think
is
very
important
and
also
any
programs
that
we
can
create
or
think
about
that
invest
in
our
youth,
our
next
generation.
I
think
that's
so
very
important,
and
particularly
with
you
from
that
three
to
six
o'clock
out
who
don't
have
oversight,
I
think
that's
an
area,
that's
critically
important,
having
programs
in
place
to
help
them
navigate
the
right
road.
The
right
way,
I
think,
is
a
great
investment
in
the
future
and
in
the
county.
So
thank
you.
E
We
look
forward
to
working
with
you
and
again.
I
look
forward
to
providing
any
resources
I
can
for
beautification
and
enhancement,
and
hopefully
we
have
teams
that
work
with
vdot
where
they,
but
they
are
not
maybe
up
to
the
task
at
the
time
that
we
can
facilitate
helping
them
make
this
a
pristine
county.
Yes,
account
of
first
choice,
a
county
of
excellence.
Thank
you.
C
F
Thank
you
sheriff.
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you.
You
know
across
the
state,
you
have
set
a
standard,
and
you
know
I
see
as
we're
out
and
about
every
one
of
us
see
and
are
so
proud
of.
You
know
chesterfield,
but
we're
proud
because
of
the
partnerships
that
have
been
created.
So
thank
you
and
thank
you
to
every
single
member
of
your
department
every
single
day,
because
it
doesn't
matter
where
we
go
in
the
community.
F
We
see
them
serving
our
community
and
that's
what
it's
all
about
and
they're
serving
with
all
of
the
the
qualities
you've
set
forth
of
honesty
and
pride
and
professionalism
and
community
service,
and
it
really
I
mean
it
really
is
the
trickle
down
again
of
the
leadership,
and
so
you
and
your
leadership
team.
But
I
don't
think
we
can
say
much
more
than
thank
you
and
also
thank
you
for
stepping
up
and
congratulations
for
serving
as
president
the
statewide
sheriff's
association.
F
I
know
it's
an
honor,
but
it's
it's
well
deserved
for
the
work
you've
done
and
again
the
model
that
you've
created,
I'm
hoping
other
jurisdictions,
can
learn
and
glean
from
some
of
all
these
programs.
I
mean
it's
fascinating
people,
don't
realize
how
many
things
you're
touching
and
how
much
work
you're
doing
in
the
community.
F
It
really
is
this
presentation
kind
of
opens
our
eyes
too
and
lets
us
know
all
the
touches
that
are
happening
out
there.
So
you
know
I
hope
that
gets
communicated
back
to
your
entire
team,
because
it's
really
important
that
that
the
thanks
that
we're
evidencing
here
gets
shared
all
the
way
down
through
the
line.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
G
G
D
B
I'd
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
acknowledge
and
the
sheriff
wouldn't
say
it
himself,
but
he
just
was
elected
president
of
the
virginia
sheriff's
institute
and-
and
I'm
saying
this
now
because
I
know
he
has
a
nice
assortment
of
his
men
and
women
behind
me.
I
would
have
mentioned
that
tonight,
but
I
just
think
they
need
to
hear
and
just
recognize
my
personal
thanks
of
of
that
leadership.
B
C
Well,
we
have
no
vacancies
and
I
really
appreciate
the
efforts
of
this
board
to
ensure
that
I
don't
and
it's
it's
an
unusual
place
to
be
right
now,
because
you've
created
a
very
attractive
county
to
work
for,
and
I
have
a
lot
of
very
qualified
people
coming
to
us
and
I
have
to
say
sorry:
we
have
no
openings.
So
it's
it's
a
good
problem
to
have,
and
I
appreciate
the
efforts
from
the
board
and
everything
they've
done
with
the
pace
study.
E
Mr
chairman,
that's
really
outstanding
to
hear,
because
that
is
wonderful.
I
can
remember
when
we
had
vegas
and
there
were
issues
that
I
know
led
to
that
that
we
tried
to
deal
with
one
last
comment
on
the
opi
opiate.
I
know
that's
continuing,
challenging
you've
done
a
lot
of
good
work
on
that
and
I'm
still
wait
working
with
the
state
on
that
and
disseminating
some
of
that
money.
So
we
can
get
moving
on
treatment
and
handling
the
issues
that
need
to
handle
in
that
area.
So
I
look
forward
to
that.
C
E
D
You
sheriff
thank
you
sheriff
and
I'll
just
say,
ditto
to
all
of
the
comments
that
were
made,
and
I
really
really
appreciate
that.
You're
such
a
team
player
with
the
county
and
with
the
police
and
with
with
everyone,
your
attitude
is
awesome
and
I
wish
I
could
recreate
it
daily,
and
so
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
that.
That's
a
big
deal.
Thank
you,
sir.
C
C
That
being
the
standard
since
february,
19th
of
this
year
through
april
13,
this
is
this
is
a
60-day
snapshot.
We
took
the
following:
people
were
released,
these
were
the
bacs
not
when
they
entered
our
jail.
These
were
their
bacs
minutes
before
they
released
from
our
jail
.14
on
a
second
dui
and
they
were
released
while
intoxicated,
meaning
that
we
could
legally
go
outside
as
soon
as
I
release
them
from
the
back
door,
arrest
them
from
being
drunk
in
public
and
bring
them
back
through
the
back
door.
C
It's
a
concern
because
for
their
own
safety
we
don't
want
them
stepping
out
into
traffic
stepping
off
a
curb.
We
don't
want
other
people
having
to
dodge
them,
while
they're
walking
impaired
in
a
roadway,
but
there's
also
another
concern
for
their
welfare
and
that's
one
chief
cat.
Since
his
department's
struggling
with
right
now
where
a
gentleman
in
december
was
arrested
for
drunk
driving,
he
was
released
and
he's
yet
to
be
seen.
C
C
Since
february
18th,
through
april
13th,
again
60-day
window
60-day
window,
we've
had
60
cases
of
people
who
were
arrested
for
failing
to
appear
in
court
who
were
released
without
any
bond
for
failing
to
come
to
court.
This
befuddles
me
because
you've
demonstrated
you
cannot
abide
by
the
conditions
of
your
release.
C
60
individuals
who
failed
to
come
to
court
were
arrested
primarily
by
chief
catches.
People
only
to
be
released.
Five
cases
of
probation
violations,
five
cases
of
protective
order,
violations,
protective
order
violations
are
very
serious.
This
is
where
people
get
hurt,
seriously
hurt
and
13
cases
of
violating
conditions
of
release.
G
Miss
jerry,
let
me
before
last
question.
Yes,
before
we
go
forward
going
back
to
the
first
slide,
you
showed
on
the
bacs
when
you,
when
your
officers
do
the
test,
do
they
bring
that
information
back
to
the
managers?
That's
releasing
it
and
the
master
just
automatically
still
allows
them
to
release
anyway,
even
though
they
know
they're
violating
the
law.
Yes,
they
do
and
have
we
made
a
complaint
to
the
supreme
court
of
virginia
on,
or
do
we
need
to
make
that
complaint
to
the
supreme
court
of
virginia?
We.
C
G
C
It's
it's
very
concerning
chief
katz
and
his
folks
work
very
hard
to
provide
a
safe
community,
as
does
the
county,
attorney's
office
and
the
sheriff's
office.
But
when
you
try
to
work
so
hard
to
provide
that
safe
community,
but
the
fourth
element
of
the
criminal
justice
system,
the
magistrate's
office,
simply
releases
people.
It
becomes
very
frustrating.
F
Your
time
can,
I
just
add
to
mr
carroll's
comment
real
briefly
and
say
that
I
think
that
this
is
important
information
that
we
as
a
board
at
court
and,
along
with
you
folks,
with
chief
katz,
with
our
commonwealth
attorney
share
with
our
entire
state
elected
delegation.
Going
back
to
those
are
the
folks
that
can
change
that
and
at
that
law,
because
until
just
holding
and
looking
to
the
office
of
executive
secretary,
the
supreme
court
is
going
to
be
a
difficult.
F
C
A
E
A
excellent
point,
I
think,
as
a
board,
it's
incumbent
upon
us
to
take
action
via
joe
to
the
appropriate
authorities
in
a
letter.
Let
them
know
that
we
just
do
not
support
this,
or
we
will
not
tolerate
this.
The
safety
of
our
citizens
are
at
risk
because
of
this,
and
that's
our
number
one
priority
in
this
county
as
a
board,
is
the
safety
and
welfare
of
every
citizen
in
chesterfield
county.
So
I
think
we
have
to
take
action
to
do
something
different
than
what's
been
done
and
dr
casey
will
be
working
toward
that
end.
B
To
present
the
facts-
and
you
know
worst-case
scenario-
is
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
this
fall
in
some
type
of
legislative
agenda.
But
again
we
don't
have
to
wait
that
long
if
we
can
get
parties
downtown
to
start
listening
and
the
accountability
factor.
That
goes
with
the
powers
that
they
have.
C
This
is
not
probably
just
happening
in
chesapeake
county,
but
probably
what
is
only
happening
in
chesterfield
county
is
taking
that
breathalyzer
reading
before
they
leave.
I'm
not
sure
other
jurisdictions
do
that,
so
they
may
not
have
the
data
we
actually
everybody
who
leaves
we
give
them
a
breath
test
before
they
leave
so.
D
C
Two
cases
of
pursuits
weren't
held
without
bonds.
Two
three
brandishing
a
firearm,
released
on
earned
cogs,
making
a
false
statement
to
purchase
a
firearm,
two
cases
you're
being
arrested
for
lying
on
forms.
Please
sign
this
form
to
get
released
on
your
own
recognizance
and
fire
and
possession
at
school
in
one
case,
but
that's
not
all.
D
C
C
C
H
H
They
are
the
entire
system,
that's
what
systemic
means
and
when
we
start
looking
at
this
and
the
outputs,
we
recognize
that
our
community
is
not
well
served
and
in
fact
those
that
we
are
arresting
are
not
well
served.
There
are
people
who
are
in
need
of
services,
services
that
are
provided
by
the
chesterfield
county
jail
who
are
denied
those
services
because
they're
released
on
their
own
recognizance.
Sometimes,
while
they're
impaired,
we
don't
argue
against
the
merits
of
bail
reform.
There
are
a
lot
of
very
good,
solid,
cogent
arguments
that
support
some
measure
of
bail
reform.
H
H
That
obviously
has
not
borne
the
fruit
that
we
wished,
and
so
now
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
making
you,
as
the
elected
officials
in
this
community
and
our
community
aware
of
these
significant
concerns,
because
these
are
things
that
happen
behind
closed
doors.
Nobody
sees
it,
nobody
takes
viral
video
of
it,
but
it
is
a
threat
to
public
safety.
Nonetheless,
so
appreciate
your
time.
Thank
you.
G
I'll
ask
you
both:
was
there
something
legislatively
that
changed
in
the
last
two
years
that
allows
the
magistrates
to
unilaterally
do
this?
I'm
not
aware.
Was
there
anything
in
the
form
of
any
type
of
executive
order
issued
by
the
previous
governor
or
or
anybody
for
that
matter
in
this
chain
of
command,
as
you
go
higher
that
resulted
in
these
changes
that
you're
aware
of.
G
D
Thank
you.
Those
are
good
questions,
mr
carroll,
and
I
think
you
know
this
board
understands
the
seriousness
of
the
information
that
was
just
presented
and
thank
you,
gentlemen,
both
of
you.
I
think
we
understand
that
this
needs
to
be
escalated,
and
we
will
do
that
in
a
professional
and
prompt
manner,
and
we
appreciate
your
time.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
