Description
City of Charleston Committee on Public Safety 4/11/2022
A
Have
in
stable
housing
and
in
general
just
have
a
lot
of
barriers
to
reaching
life
goals.
So
that's
the
group
of
guys
that
we
work
with
and
we
run
a
program
that
provides
all
services
in
one
location
and
so
a
big
part
of
what
we
do
is
we
provide
transitional
work
to
those
those
men.
A
We
run
a
custom
screen,
printing
business
and
all
of
the
the
the
men
that
work
with
us
are
on
payroll,
so
they're
here
on
hourly
payroll
between
12
and
14
dollars
an
hour,
and
in
that
time
they
get
case
management
support
through
a
social
worker.
They
get
the
work
experience
and
they
participate
in
our
cognitive,
behavioral
therapy
classes
every
day
as
well
and
at
the
end
of
their
time
with
us,
some
are
usually
between
four
and
six
months.
We
do
job
placement
and
we
place
in
different
companies
around
town.
A
The
city
is
one
of
those,
but
we
also
do
place
in
a
lot
of
private
companies.
The
city
was
our
first
job
placement
partner
and
we're
very,
very
appreciative
of
that,
and
so,
like
I
said,
last
year
was
a
big
year
because
we
opened
our
second
location
and
we
are
planning
on
opening
a
third
location
in
the
upstate
in
2023
which
isn't
that
far
away
now.
So
this
is
our
year
rest
and
refinement.
A
So
we've
been
able
to
hire
the
guys
that
we've
worked
with
back
on
staff
and
they're,
delivering
our
frontline
services
and
just
in
terms
of
some
of
the
numbers
for
you,
we
hired
53
men
out
of
prison
last
year
in
the
charleston
area
and
we
hired
all
of
them
to
work
here
in
our
print
shop,
and
we
have
some
really
awesome
job
placement
retention
rates,
and
so
we
track
that
pretty
closely.
A
B
A
A
For
90
days
or
more
okay
yeah,
so
we
track
our
job
placement
rates
pretty
closely,
and
then
we
also
track
recidivism
pretty
closely
and
we
look
at
recidivism
at
different
points.
We
look
at
rearrest
rates,
so
that's
a
rearrest
for
any
reason,
and
then
we
also
look
at
reincarceration.
A
So
for
our
2021
numbers,
we
didn't
have
any
of
the
guys
that
completed
the
program
last
year.
None
of
them
were
rearrested
for
any
reason,
and
then
so
that's
zero
for
our
our
numbers
for
last
year,
but
then
sort
of
more
importantly,
cumulatively,
over
the
last
seven
years
that
we've
been
working
with
with
men
coming
out
of
prison
and
partnering
with
the
city
we're
at
a
22
percent
rearrest
rate,
which
is
complete.
A
B
So
let
me
back
up
on
that.
So
the
past
seven
years
out
of
the
folks
who
have
completed
the
program.
C
B
A
Yeah
and
for
us,
it's
really
important
to
track
rearrest
and
not
just
reincarceration,
because
people
can
get
rearrested
over
and
over
again,
but
never
go
back
to
prison
and
we're
really
in
the
business
of
helping
people
change
their
criminal
lifestyles
and
so
for
us.
We
like
to
track
all
the
small
touches
that
people
have
with
the
criminal
justice
system
and
it's
easier
for
us
to
get
real-time
information
about
that.
So
yeah
we
like
to
track
rearrest
rates
and
gives
us
some
good
feedback
loop
on
how
we're
doing
yeah.
C
A
D
Hand
up,
I
just
wanna,
ask
give
me
a
quick
question,
is
the
is
the
austin?
Will
society
still
in
existence.
A
D
Okay,
because
you
know
one
time
they
used
to
assist
sister
ex-offenders
to
find
jobs,
and
things
like
that
when
I
was
working,
I
used
to
work
along
with
them
at
the
time
and
they
had
two
halfway
houses.
D
They
had
one
here
in
charleston,
but
they
closed
that
one,
that's
the
one
I
was
working
to
because
it
was
didn't,
have
enough
people
coming
from
the
charleston
area
going
to
the
halfway
house
here,
because
it
was
getting
too
much
time
and
they
only
was
taking
clients
who
had
six
months
left
from
their
sentence
and
we
have
to
find
them
jobs
and
get
them
placement
on
jobs,
and
things
like
that
for
six
months
and
the
with
the
money
that
they
received,
it
was
only
receiving
a
certain
amount
of
money,
their
paycheck
every
week
in
the
rest
of
money
going
to
the
bank
and
then
once
they
could
complete
the
six
months,
they
would
give
them
all
this
money.
D
A
No
you're
exactly
right
and
you
described
it
exactly
how
exactly
how
I
know
it
that
they
take
a
percentage
that
it's
a
six
month
window,
but
the
halfway
house
here
is
still
operating
and
maybe
it's
a
different
one
than
the
one
that
you
were
working
with
before.
But
there
is
one
that
still
operates
here
in
charleston
and
the
one
in
columbia
does
as
well
yeah
and
we
that's
actually
one
of
our
bigger
referring
partners.
D
D
A
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
mitchell,
mayor
or
councilmember,
seeking
any
questions
for
amy.
C
We
love
your
program
and
all
the
work
you're
doing
to
help
former
offenders
and
sandy,
and
I,
as
you
remember,
have
visited
you
up
there
before
it's
great
you've
transitioned
to
your
own
in-house
work
program,
we're
looking
for
employees
by
the
way.
I
know
some
of
your
graduates
come
to
work
for
the
city,
but
keep
them
coming
and
we're
we're
we're
looking
for
workers
right
now,
as
a
matter
of
fact.
So
do
keep
that
in
mind,
but
congratulations
and
thanks
for
your
terrific
efforts.
B
Thank
you,
mayor,
councilmember,
seeking,
I
see
the
chief
has
a
hand
up
as
well
amy
to
follow
up
on
the
mayor's
comment.
How
many
city
employees
do
we
have
within
your
program.
A
One
of
our
challenges
is
that
city
sending
people
to
the
city
is
that
the
for
private
market
has
like
blown
up
and
are
also
looking
for
employees
and
our
guys
are
really
sensitive
to
pay,
and
so
we'll
typically
just
go
any
place
that
pays
the
most,
and
so
you
know.
Sometimes
we
can
convince
people,
you
know
benefits
and
stability
and
they're
interested
in
that
and
they
are.
But
but
it's
been
a
bigger
argument.
A
You
know
lately,
and
so
most
of
our
guys
do
now
go
to
to
private
to
private
companies,
and
we've
we've
experienced
the
same
kind
of
challenge
with
the
county,
so
we've
only
sent
y'all
a
handful
last
year
and
a
handful
of
accounting
and
a
handful
to
you.
But
but
we
do
we
do
still
send
some
your
way
and
really
appreciate
the
opportunity
for
the
men.
E
I
just
wanted
an
opportunity
to
compliment
publicly
amy
and
her
leadership
and
her
accomplishments,
and
not
just
her
but
her
team
that
she's
developed
the
fact
that
she's
expanded
this
that
it's
getting
national
recognition.
E
She
truly
is
a
pioneer
and
disrupting
the
the
pipeline.
The
prison
is
a
a
passion
of
hers.
Developing
these
men.
I've
met
many
of
them
and
they're
very
impressive.
E
The
leaders
that
are
being
developed
out
of
this
program-
I
I
believe
in
trusting
but
verifying
and
ie
the
mayor,
just
said
it
you
know
actually
getting
out
and
visiting
with
the
the
men
being
in
the
classroom.
I
missed
that
amy
I've
been
there
for
a
little
while
so
it's
time
to
get
back
with
you,
but
we'd.
E
The
true
outcomes
is
really
what
matters
and
she's
really
kind
of
defying
a
lot
of
the
odds
and
and
defying
a
lot
of
the
I
think,
past
failures
and
creating
a
pathway
for
these
men
to
succeed,
and
it's
it's
truly
impressive
amy.
What
you're
doing
and
and
to
be
able
to
replicate
yourself
and
and
to
be
able
to
grow.
That
is,
is
amazing.
So
I'm
so
grateful
for
you
for
your
leadership
for
your
team,
for
the
people
that
are
working
with
you
and
the
success
that
you're
achieving
is
absolutely
helping
our
community.
E
A
E
A
And
it
really
came
from
the
city.
You
know
this.
The
mayor's
office
and
the
police
department
in
the
city
were
my
first
partners
so
to
see
how
that's
blossomed
and
taken
on
across
the
state
is
just
so
great
and
that's
really
a
testament
to
all
of
us
and
y'all
willing
to
step
up
for
me
many
years
ago.
So
it's
very
fun
to
see
it
flourish,
and
I
appreciate
you
all.
B
Well,
amy,
I
think
I've
been
with
you
for
most
of
the
seven
years
either
on
city
council
or
the
charleston
county
bar
association,
and
I
know
you
went
through
sort
of
a
redefinition,
reorganization
phase,
early
early
on
and
yeah.
The
city
has
been
with
you
from
the
very
beginning
with
this,
and
it's
very
important,
as
the
chief
said,
that
we're
saving
money
but
we're
saving
lives
as
well,
and
I
know
from
k
cross
our
human
resources
director.
She
loves
your
folks
that
you
send
our
way
because
they
are
hardworking
and
they
stay
with
us.
B
So
I
will
echo
that
keep
keep
on
sending
us
more
men
like
the
ones
that
you
are
graduating
from
your
program.
They
are
good
city
employees
without
any
further
questions,
amy.
Well,
thank
you
for
jumping.
B
B
Thank
you,
amy
all
right,
chief
chief
reynolds,
I
I
know
that
you're
about
literally
you've
been
bouncing
around
so
good.
B
Back
on
screen-
and
I
know
you've
been
traveling,
so
we're
going
to
come
to
you
next
for
a
police
department
update.
E
Fantastic,
I
think
with
me,
I
have
deputy
chief
walker,
is
on
lieutenant
heath,
king
and
I
think
in
the
conference
room
at
headquarters
we
have
lieutenant
shiloh,
murray,
captain,
jason,
broder
and
heather
malloy
and
I'll.
Just
I
think
shout
out
is
going
to
do
my
slides
and
we'll
start
from
the
beginning.
Here
go
to
the
next
slide.
This
is
an
overview
of
some
areas
that
we
chose.
There's
a
whole
lot
that
that
kind
of
came
my
way
when
I
said
we're
going
to
do
an
overview
of
the
department.
E
Updates
what
you
see
in
front
of
you
is
a
graph
of
the
last
10
years
of
of
our
data,
specifically
field
contacts,
which
is
what
you'll
see
the
the
contact
cards
that
we
we
track.
All
of
our
traffic
stops.
All
of
our
contacts
that
we
have
with
our
citizens
and
you'll
see
that
that
number
goes
up
significantly
and
that
was
part
of
the
audit.
That's
part
of
something
that
we've
been
working
on
and
we're.
E
Actually
those
numbers
should
be
going
up
and
we're
our
officers
are
doing
a
really
good
job
of
tracking
their
contacts
with
the
community
so
that
we
can
continue
to
kind
of
analyze
what
we're
doing
and
how
we're
doing
it.
Why
we're
doing
it
where
we're
doing
it
and
then
the
other
notable
thing
and
you'll
see
some
numbers
in
a
minute
on
the
next
slide.
It's
just
crime
statistics.
E
If
you
look
at
the
red
line,
which
is
really
the
most
important
of
these
this
this,
this
highlights
violent
crime
and
then
the
blue
line
is
property
crime,
and
you
see
that
it
goes
up
over
the
the
last
couple
years
and
then
this
year
you
see,
if
you
see
it
kind
of
level
off
last
year,
and
now
you
see
it
going
down
and
just
as
an
example
and
you'll
see
in
a
minute
we
we
have
had
year
to
date-
and
I
know
unfortunately
that'll
change
but
year
to
date,
we've
had
zero
homicides
and
we've
really
seen
a
lot
of
our
numbers
come
down,
including
property
crimes,
violent
crimes
and
the
officer
productivity,
which
is
kind
of
the
drugs
and
weapons.
E
The
green
line
there
has
increased.
Our
officers
are
really
out
there
focusing
on
some
of
those
areas
where
we
have
our
our
biggest
challenges
and
and
they're
they're
really
doing
a
lot
of
good
work.
And
it's
it's.
You
can
see
the
results
so
next
slide.
E
Again,
I'm
not
going
to
go
over
all
the
numbers,
but
you
can
see
that
there's
a
downward
trend
when
you
look
at
this
doesn't
show
you
all
the
year-to-date
comparisons.
But
when
you
look
at
homicides
I
think
year-to-date
we
had
two.
Last
year
we
don't
usually
get
as
many
early
in
the
year.
It's
usually
about
this
time
of
year
that
we
start
experiencing
more
of
some
of
those
shootings
and-
and
I
will
tell
you
and
it'll
it'll
come
out
later
and
some
of
our
partnerships.
E
Our
collaborative
efforts
on
working
on
violent
crime
is
absolutely
making
a
difference,
but
you
see
that
our
numbers,
just
in
general
and
almost
all
the
categories
are
going
down
and
some
of
the
areas
that,
where
you
see
it
going
up,
is
where
our
officers
are
really
productive
and
some
of
our
motor
vehicle
theft
and
theft
from
vehicles.
Those
are
areas
where
we
still
can
continue
to
see.
Some
increases
go
ahead.
E
These
are
our
fatalities
and
a
fatality
takes
a
lot
of
effort
to
investigate
some
of
our
hit
and
runs
the
when
you
look
at
some
of
the
causations
for
some
of
these
areas,
pedestrians
versus
auto
as
an
example
oftentimes,
the
pedestrian
is
at
fault,
and-
and
so
we
look
at
that
closely.
There's
certain
areas
where
we
need
to
look
at
crosswalks
and
engineering
and
lighting
and
signage
and
where
the
complaints
are
coming
in
and
just
continue
to
do
everything
we
can
to
try
to
reduce
these
numbers,
which
you
can
see.
E
Next
slide,
I'm
not
gonna
go
over
all
of
these,
but
under
the
tutelage
of
deputy
chief
walker
and
our
our
community
oriented
policing
division.
E
There
has
been
a
significant
focus
on
working
with
our
communities
on
building
trust,
on
building
collaboration
on
building
initiatives
that
are
not
necessarily
police-centric
and
being
in
places
like
the
gathering,
center
and
and
other
areas
of
the
city
and
working
with
our
partners,
and
not
just
being
a
police
presence,
but
being
a
collaborative
presence
to
do
what
we
can
to
help
our
youth
in
particular,
and
help
the
communities
that
that
really
need
the
most
help,
and
so
there's
a
lot
of
different
things
that
have
been
done
next
slide
and
just
continuation
of
some
of
the
outreach
efforts
with
our
citizens,
advisory,
council
and
and
continuing
to
build
participation
working
with
greg's
groceries.
E
You
can
see,
there's
just
been
a
lot
of
things
that
have
been
accomplished
through
a
lot
of
these
initiatives
and
a
lot
of
emphasis
on
on
the
overdose
and-
and
I
think,
efforts
I
think
tomorrow-
judge
bruce
hendricks
who's
going
to
get
recognized
appropriately.
So
by
the
mayor,
I
think,
through
a
proclamation
but
the
efforts
from
judge
hendricks
from
gil
kerlikowski
from
our
hospitals,
our
schools,
all
the
federal
state
and
local
partners,
the
mental
health
community.
So
many
people
have
been
working
on
on
our
overdose
efforts
together.
E
Next
slide,
staffing
continues
to
be
a
challenge.
I'll
say
on
the
positive
side
of
the
ledger:
we're
doing
a
fantastic
job
with
our
hiring.
E
I
couldn't
be
more
proud
of
our
our
recruiting
our
training,
we're
doing
more
training,
you'll,
see
that,
and
I
think
in
one
of
the
slides,
the
amount
of
training
that
we're
doing
for
our
troops.
We
have
a
fairly
young
workforce,
but
I'll
tell
you.
The
area
where
we
continue
to
struggle
is
attrition
and
it's
not
any
one
singular
thing.
Our
our
hiring
has
actually
gotten
national
attention.
E
The
recruiting
video
that
we
did
some
of
the
other
initiatives
that
we've
done
with
trying
to
attract
women,
increasing
our
numbers
with
women
in
policing
and
and
diversity,
and
a
variety
of
other
things.
We've
really
gotten
a
lot
of
accolades
and
a
lot
of
people
coming
to
the
city
of
charleston
to
to
talk
about
recruiting
hiring
training,
but
we
continue
to
not
be
at
complement
we're
making
progress.
E
But
I
was
hoping
that
we
would
be
at
complement
and
hiring
for
future
vacants
vacancies
by
the
end
of
this
year
for
the
next
budget
next
year
and
we're
gonna
we're
continuing
to
to
make
progress,
but
not
as
not
as
quickly
as
I'd
like,
and
the
one
factor
is
retention
that
the
turnover
rate
is
is
higher
than
I
would
like
it
to
be
and
I'll
get
to
that.
A
little
bit
later.
On
next
slide.
E
So,
just
a
a
sampling
of
some
of
the
creativity,
some
of
the
innovations,
some
of
the
really
good
work
from
our
teams.
If
you
kind
of
peruse
this,
it's
amazing
what
we've
done
to
be
creative
to
actually
use
evidence-based,
policing
approaches,
working
with
clemson
working
with
other
colleges,
and
you
can
see
some
of
the
on
the
last
bullet.
There
increased
hiring
from
13
in
2019
to
20
in
2021
and
just
demographics.
The
diversity
for
our
underrepresented,
new
hires,
increased
from
33
percent
and
20
to
41
percent.
E
People
who
come
here
from
chicago
new
york
and
other
places
around
the
country
and
and
and
people
are
enjoying
their
time
here,
but
when
you
look
at
the
number
of
people
that
we're
losing,
if,
if
you
just,
if
you
look
at
the
just
macro
numbers,
if
we
had
450
officers
and
lost
45,
that's
10
and
we
hire
45,
then
the
number
the
needle
doesn't
move.
And
so
we
have
to
continue
to
look
at
that.
Some
of
that's
retirements,
some
of
that's
leaving
for
federal
jobs,
which
is
a
real
compliment
to
our
department.
E
I
could
not
be
more
proud
of
our
training
cadre
and
just
the
the
partnerships
that
we
have
with
other
colleges.
The
amount
of
training
that
we're
we're
doing
is
astronomical
and
it's
it's
it's
necessary
and
we
have
to
continue
to
invest
in
our
new
officers
to
for
and
all
of
our
veteran
officers
for
their
success,
they're
in
a
challenging
work
environment.
Right
now
and
that's
a
big
part
of
hiring
the
best
people
investing
in
their
training,
invest
in
their
equipment
and
leading
them.
E
When
you
look
at
our
partnerships
with
federal
agencies,
our
task
force,
in
particular,
focusing
on
on
things
like
violent
crime,
working
with
all
of
our
local
agencies,
federal
state
and
local
agencies,
it's
amazing
working
with
musc
on
some
of
the
violence
disruption,
initiatives
working
very
closely
with
them,
ashley,
hank
and
others.
A
lot
of
a
lot
of
good
things
that
are
that
are
going
on
right
now,
the
last
bullet
there
we
applied
for
and
received
a
grant,
a
federal
grant
to
it's
called
the
public
safety
partnership.
E
It's
a
three-year
award
to
work
closely
with
north
charleston
and
our
local
agencies
and
other
partners
to
focus
on
specifically
on
violent
crime.
Go
ahead.
E
Just
some
of
our
initiatives-
and
I'm
not
gonna,
really
spend
a
lot
of
time
on
each
one
of
these.
Unless
there's
question,
I
have
heath
king
on
the
line.
Right
now,
he
he's
put
a
lot
of
effort
and
work
into
electronic
monitoring.
He's
met
with
the
judges
he's
met
with
the
prosecutors.
E
We
know
that
the
current
system
is
not
working,
and
so
this
is
something
that
we're
going
to
begin
in
the
next
month
or
so,
and
we're
going
to
look
for
other
areas
for
funding
and
and
look
start
small
and
see.
If
we
can
have
success
with
this
and
and
it's
it's
got
a
lot
of
pluses
heath
if
you're
on
the
line.
Just
very
briefly,
if
you
want
to
just
touch
on
on
some
of
your
work.
F
I
am,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
all
right,
I
I've
got
spot
your
reception,
so
jason
ruder
may
have
to
hop
in,
but
yeah
I've
been
working
on
this
since
july.
I
mean
I'm
in
asheville
on
vacation,
so
hello,
everybody,
but
so
we're.
Looking
at
a
program,
that's
been
working
since
july.
It's
a
no
cost
to
the
offender,
which
is
obviously
probably
the
biggest
plus
on
this.
That
gets
the
most
pushback.
The
other
way
we're
looking
at
repeat
violent
offenders,
we're
specifically
targeting
them.
F
So
this
is
not
folks
to
steal
a
candy
bar
they're
gonna
get
put
on
em.
This
is
this
is
the
folks
that
are
really
causing
the
problems
in
the
city
they're,
going
to
be
selected
at
bond
hearing
we're
working
right
now,
working
out
a
process
with
the
cjcc
who's
gonna.
You
know
talking
through
working
through
offender
selection
and
they
have
what's
called
a
sea
pray
which
is
a
pre-trial
risk
assessment
instrument
that
helps
pick
offenders
based
on
a
bunch
of
risk
factors.
F
We've
been
in
talks
with
them,
we're
we're
looking
at
a
two-man
unit
that
should
be
starting
in
about
about
a
month.
Hopefully,
you
know
it's
it's
standard,
electronic
monitoring,
where
these
violent
offenders
would
have
nighttime
curfew
hours
like
seven
at
night
or
seven
in
the
morning,
which
will
basically
minimize
their
ability
to
to
offend
when
most
violent
crime
happens.
F
F
The
city
would
not
be
arresting
folks
for
not
coming
home
one
or
two
times
we're
not
going
to
be
arresting
people
at
all.
For
that
we
basically
we're
going
to
be,
like
a
hall,
monitor
we're
going
to
report
all
the
activity
back
to
the
court
and
hopefully
the
folks
are
compliant.
This
is
kind
of
their
opportunity
to
be
compliant
and
after
120
days
each
case
will
be
reviewed
and
if
the
person's
been
compliant
we're
going
to
ask
the
court
to
to
remove
the
monitor.
So
we
can
put
it
on
somebody
else.
F
We're
looking
at
to
do
a
few
four
or
five
in
the
beginning,
the
first
month
or
so
just
to
kind
of
get
our
feet
under
us
and
make
sure
everything's
working.
But
you
know
the
goal
is
to
have
some
data
come
back,
and
this
pilot
program
is
what
we're
doing
and
to
pretty
much
start
out
within
a
couple
months
of
having
about
20
offenders
on
20,
the
most
violent
offenders
in
the
city
will
be
monitored
and
I
think
that's
just
going
to
be
amazing.
F
We're
going
to
get
a
lot
of
data
back
and
I
think
it's
going
to
be
it's
going
to
be
really
helpful.
So
I
could
talk
about
this
all
day,
but
I'm
going
to
stop
now.
So
thank
you.
B
Lieutenant
king,
before
you
sign
off
just
one
quick
question
for
you,
so
some
of
these
offenders
can
they
work
with
the
the
monitor
actives?
In
other
words,
if
a
magistrate
places
them
on
a
house
arrest
with
the
exception
of
of
work,
can
this
monitor
still
work
for
them?
That
scenario.
F
Yes,
sir,
and
it
will
be,
the
restrictions
will
be
based
on
the
offender,
but
what
we're
looking
at
in
the
beginning-
and
it
can
always
be
fine-tuned-
it's
more
or
less
having
them
home
at
night
for
12
hours,
let's
say
seven
to
seven
and
the
daytime.
They
have
a
lot
of
free
reign
to
to
work
and
get
family
stuff
done
and
do
everything
else
they
need
to
do.
F
But
they'll
have
to
be
home
at
night,
so
yeah
they
can
absolutely
work,
that's
kind
of
how
it's
it's
been,
it's
been
engineered,
so
it's
not
too
restrictive,
so
12
hours
from
the
day
should
be
enough
to
get
some
work
done,
and
you
know,
depending
on
their
compliance.
F
You
know
it
may
be
loosened
per
the
judge
or
per
us.
So
you
know
we're
just
trying
to
get
our
feet
under
us,
but
we
want
success
from
these
guys.
We
want.
We
want
the
crime
to
come
down,
but
we
want
them
to
be
successful.
B
Well,
I
I
applaud
you
for
taking
the
initiative
on
this.
I
it
sort
of
goes
hand
in
hand
with
a
little
bit
of
a
turn
90,
but
in
a
different
setting.
These
are
folks
who
have
been
arrested.
They
have
not
been
adjudicated
on
their
charges,
but
this
certainly
gives
the
community
a
sense
of
security
knowing
where
they
are,
but
and
at
the
same
time
allowing
them
to
be
somewhat
productive
if
they
can
go
out
and
work
as
well.
So
thank
you
lieutenant.
B
D
B
Chief
reynolds
is
there
something
else
we
need
to
do?
You
want
to
close
out
with
that
that
comment.
E
That's
it
for
the
electronic
monitoring
and
then
I'll,
just
I'll
briefly,
go
through
the
rest.
There's
just
a
couple:
more
slides,
okay,
go
ahead,
the
leadership
development
institute,
that's
a
big
part
of
because
we
are
becoming
a
younger
organization.
E
We've
had
a
lot
of
promotions,
it's
something
that
is
kind
of
ingrained
in
our
development
of
our
organization.
E
We
just
got
another
thirty
thousand
dollar
grant
from
the
rotary,
the
downtown
rotary
club,
which
was
a
huge
plus
for
us
we
now
have,
and-
and
since
our
last
meeting
we
haven't
talked
about
this,
so
it's
worthy
of
just
mentioning
a
sworn
sergeant,
beth
wolfson,
who
is
our
public
information
officer,
charles
francis
retired,
after
a
long,
very
successful
career,
and
we
have
our
mountain
patrol
unit,
go
to
the
next
slide.
With
some
pictures.
E
I
think
everybody's
seen
some
of
that,
just
something
to
mention
it's:
a
public
private
partnership,
the
convention
and
visitors
bureau
explorer
charleston
partnered
with
us,
they've
paid
essentially
for
everything
for
a
year
and
we've
provided
the
officers,
and
we
have
two
very
seasoned
officers
bill
grid
sergeant
who
was
actually
in
the
unit
prior
to
it
being
dissolved
and
and
natasha
allen
who's.
E
A
horse
person
has
a
lot
of
expertise
and
is
a
great
police
officer,
and
so
there
they
really
have
gotten
off
to
a
good
start
next
slide,
just
an
update
just
mention
of
the
racial
bias,
audit
and
and
just
some
of
the
hallmarks
and
and
just
we've
done
some
updates-
and
this
is
just
another
quick
update
and-
and
I
know
that
we
may
actually
have
a
more
in-depth
presentation
at
another
time,
but
this
is
obviously
a
critical
part
of
what
we're
doing
next
slide.
E
Our
dashboard,
which
is,
is
live
and
and
continue
to
get
input
and
feedback
on
it,
continue
to
modify
and
grow
it
and
make
it
better
next
slide.
This
is
our
final.
Oh,
the
awards
banquet
just
making
mention
that
we
had
a
awards
banquet.
Those
are
some
of
the
recipients
they
numerous
valor
awards.
E
It
was
very
well
received.
It
was
the
first
time
we've
actually
done
kind
of
a
formal
banquet
a
few
weeks
ago,
and
people
got
to
bring
their
family
members
and
we're
already
working
on
year,
two,
which
will
be,
I
think,
even
bigger
and
nicer,
and
it
was
hard
to
get
everybody
in
there
because
it
was
so
many
amazing
awards
next
slide
and
the
final
slide.
E
These
are
just
some
of
the
emergent
priorities
and
needs
capital
projects
and
facility
planning.
We
mentioned
salaries
that
the
city
kay
and
her
team
are
doing
a
study
which
I've
I've
talked
to
her
about
and
I'm
pleased
with,
and
I
think
they
have
a
very
good
approach
which
will
address
some
of
the
retention
and
issue
issues
which
we
also
have
ownership.
I
think
our
culture
continuing
to
look
at
a
lot
of
things
within
our
own
organization,
but
I
think
salaries
is
going
to
be
a
part
of
that.
E
It's
going
to
help
in
the
long
run
and
I'm
excited
to
see
some
of
the
outcomes
of
what
what
k's
team's
working
on
and
violent
crime
obviously
will
continue
to
be
a
priority
for
us.
E
We've
paid
a
lot
of
attention
focused
a
lot
of
resources
and
a
lot
of
partnerships
and
a
lot
of
good
things
have
happened,
but
I
think,
even
more
in
the
days
ahead,
in
particular
federal
adoptions
of
cases
and
federal
prosecutions
and
a
variety
of
other
things,
and
just
continued
growth
in
the
city
on
numerous
different
fronts
and
and
one
of
the
things
that
the
mayor
mentioned
in
the
state
of
the
city
address,
which
I
think
is
going
to
be
discussed
more
in
the
coming
days,
is
safety
and
security,
camera
fundings
and
there's
a
nice
opportunity.
E
I
think
that
the
mayor
identified
through
arpa
funds
and
so
more
to
come
on
that.
But
the
last
thing
I'll
say
is
the
city
is
back
and
and
charleston
is
roaring
in
terms
of
the
economy
in
terms
of
tourism
in
terms
of
special
events,
in
terms
of
just
everything
throughout
the
city
and
and
we're
our
men
and
women
are
focused
on
that
every
day
and
it's
it's
exciting,
but
it's
challenging.
So
a
lot
of
good
things
happening.
B
Steve
that
was
very
comprehensive
and
very
fast,
and
I
appreciate
your
team's
work
because
I
know
you
just
don't
throw
these
numbers
together
and
put
this
together
at
the
last
second.
So
thank
you
for
that
very
comprehensive
report
and
thank
you
for
your
team
and
I
appreciate
lieutenant
king
being
on
vacation
and
giving
us
an
update
on
the
electronic
monitor
before
I
forget
and
before
I
turn
it
over
to
other
committee
members.
B
Would
you
please
have
somebody
forward
to
me
that
powerpoint
presentation,
because
I
will
I'll
pull
some
of
those
figures
and
slides
off
for
tomorrow's
meeting,
when
I
make
a
full
report
to
city
council?
So
if
I
can
get
that
and
the
other
item
I'm
going
to
ask
you
about,
is
you
touch
about
it
touch
on
it
very
rather
briefly,
but
the
racial
bias
audit?
B
What
is
that
there's
a
next
step
in
a
reporting
process?
With
this
you
gave
us
some
numbers
on
the
number
of
recommendations.
What's
in
progress
what's
been
accomplished,
but
are
we
doing
another
update
on
that
more
more
involved.
E
We
are
keto,
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
just
briefly
speak
to
that.
I
know
that
we've
had
a
lot
of
discussion
on
that.
I
know
cat
and
cartel
has
been
working
diligently
on
it,
with
a
team
of
people
on
getting
an
actual
report
produced
so
that
that
would
be
made
public.
C
Yes,
sir,
good
afternoon,
everyone
yeah,
we
will
be
doing
a
more
comprehensive
presentation
for
you,
councilman
she
had
at
your.
You
know
at
your
convenience.
C
Some
of
the
outstanding
recommendations
are
involved
around
like
traffic
and
third-party
assessments,
which
hopefully
will
be
done
before
the
end
of
the
second
quarter,
with
some
of
the
stuff
coming
through
our
legal
representation
and
just
some
f
polishing
up
on
that
final
third-party
assessment
piece.
So
captain
cortell
has
been
leading
that
charge,
but
it's
ready
to
go
and
a
part
of
that
will
be
included
in
our
annual
report.
B
And
so
when
do
we
expect
that
next
quarterly
report
to
take
place
chief,
the
report.
B
E
Thanks
and
china,
do
you
want
to
mention
just
the
procedural
justice
position?
You
guys
have
been
working
hard
doing,
a
national
search,
very
collaborative,
very
broad,
reaching
and
really
there's
been
a
lot
of
interest
in
that
position
and-
and
you
and
a
number
of
other
experts
have
been
working
on
that.
I
think
we
have
some
good
candidates
and
we're
doing
some
interviews
and.
C
Yes,
sir,
actually
cassandra's
on
the
line.
We
just
closed
it
out.
I
think,
last
week
it
was
closed
out
as
far
as
the
opening
we
are
heading
to
phase
two
which
she'll
be
taking
lead
with,
and
it
will
incorporate
a
pretty
diverse
group
of
assessors
to
include
outside
professors
and
some
c
pac
members
as
far
as
our
phase
two
interviews
and
and
going
through
a
selection
process
with
those
candidates,
but
we
got
a
lot
of
candidates
from
all
over,
so
hopefully
it
works
out
for
everyone.
This
time
around.
B
All
right,
chief,
I'm
open
up
to
other
questions
from
any
member
of
the
committee.
Councilmember
mitchell,
councilman
seeking
his
mayor.
Any
questions
for
any
of
these
presenters.
C
Mr
chairman,
yes,
sir,
if
I
might
just
very
briefly
and
I'm
sorry,
I'm
blocked
out
I'm
in
the
meeting
so
on
on
he's
presentation
on
the
on
the
monitoring.
E
Really,
you
know,
I'm
I'm
not
sure,
there's
a
lot
that
the
council
needs
to
do.
I
think
the
council
needs
to
know
that
we're
doing
this
and
that's
why
we
we
put
it
in
our
presentation
today,
because
heath
is
ready
to
begin
that
effort
and
it
will
start
in
earnest
in
in
in
may
within
the
next
month.
E
So
maybe
I
would
kind
of
throw
that
back
at
you
in
the
sense
that
whatever
counsel
requires
of
us,
we
will
keep
you
abreast
and
and
aware
of
what
we're
doing,
how
we're
doing
it.
Why
we're
doing
it-
and
I
you
know
the
the
biggest
thing
I
think-
is
always
cost,
and
what
does
that
look
like
into
the
future?
E
And
we
want
to
be
transparent
about
that
and
and
we,
but
we
we
have
to
do
a
pilot
and
somebody's
got
to
take
the
the
bull
by
the
horns
with
this,
because
it's
it's
just
it's
not
working
yeah.
You
probably
heard
me
talk
about
it
publicly
locally
and
nationally.
It's
just
a
this.
This
this
current
ankle,
bracelet
gps,
monitoring,
whatever
form
it
it's
supposed
to
take,
is
not
working.
E
C
Well,
maybe
I
should
have
been
more
direct.
I
was
being
somewhat
diplomatic.
Is
there
going
to
be
some
financial
obligation
that
you're
going
to
need
us
to
build
into
the
budget
to
support
that
program
as
it
gets
going?
I
mean,
I
think,
that's
really.
In
the
end,
we
certainly
support
what
you
all
want
to
do
and
make
the
streets
safer
and
if
there's
a,
if
there
is
a
monetary
component
to
it,
probably
best
to
know
it
now,
so
we
can
get
it
in
front
of
it.
E
There
is-
and
it's
it's
it's
I
want
to
do
it
in
this
current
year
cycle.
It's
a
drug
forfeiture
fund
that
we
have
access
to
that.
We
can
utilize
for
things
like
this.
E
It's
designed
for
things
like
this
and
the
dollar
amount
that
we
have
right
now
is
sixteen
thousand
dollars
beginning
in
may,
through
the
end
of
the
year,
to
get
essentially
the
numbers
that
heath
talked
about
to
start
with
a
five
to
get
it
up
to
as
many
as
20,
which
is
something
that
would
actually
give
us
yield
us
some
measurable
results
of
whether
or
not
this
is
going
to
work,
whether
it's
going
to
be
beneficial,
whether
you
know
the
courts
will
accept
it
that
you
know
there's
a
lot
of
people
that
have
to
play
a
role
in
this
for
it
to
be
successful.
E
So
it's
a
very
small
amount
for
a
finite
amount
of
time,
and
then
the
the
ad
hoc
budget
committee
discussion
more,
would
be
in
the
fall.
Okay,
it's
working
now
we
need
to
work
something
into
our
budget
and
and
by
the
way,
there's
other
partners
that
we
believe
if
this
is
going
to
grow
significantly
and
substantially,
would
play
a
role
in
that
and
would
have
to
pay
their
share,
and
I
think,
there's
grant
monies
that
could
be
used
for
things
like
this.
E
So
we're
not
we're
not
starting
something
that
we
can't
get
our
arms
around
as
a
city.
This
is
really
a
regional,
a
problem,
and
this
is
something
that's
going
to
have
to
involve
our
entire
region.
I
think,
and
that's
why
he
became
very
collaborative.
Why
he's
reached
out?
You
know
and
slowed
this
whole
thing
down.
He
said
he's
been
working
on
it
since
july,
and
a
lot
of
that
is
meetings
and
discussions
to
get
to
this
point
to
just
start
with
something
small.
E
But
if
it's
successful
and
and
it's
embraced
it's
something
that
really
needs
to
involve
a
lot
of
other
people.
B
Chief
and
by
committee
members
that
the
this
problem
that
we've
been
dealing
with
on
folks,
who
are
out
on
bond
being
re-arrested,
has
just
been
more
aggravated
because
of
cover
restrictions
on
court
time
and
jury
trials,
and
so
these
folks
are
out
they've
been
out
a
little
bit
too
long,
pending
resolution,
and
now
that
is
just
aggravated
by
the
cover
restrictions.
So
it's
just
it's
sort
of
got
on
steroids.
E
I
think
it's
worth
saying
and
it's
hard
for
me
to
even
say
this
in
the
entire
year
last
year,
12
months
in
the
entire
charleston
county,
not
the
city,
the
entire
charleston
county
court
system,
during
a
period
where
we
were
experiencing
the
largest
increase
in
violent
crime
in
the
history
incrementally
in
the
history
of
our
state,
we
had
seven
trials
total
seven.
E
I
I'm
not
playing
the
blame
game,
I'm
not
saying
who's
at
fault.
I'm
not
saying
why
that
happened.
E
I
don't
know
for
the
life
of
me,
but
what
peter
just
said
is
true:
we
all
have
to
find
solutions
to
protect
our
communities,
and
this
is
one
creative
way
that
may
actually
be
a
win-win
that
may
help
the
offenders
may
help
the
courts
and
may
help
our
communities
and
save
a
life,
because
there
are
repeat
violent
criminal
offenders
who
are
armed,
they're,
dangerous
and
they're
out
in
our
communities
right
now
and
we're
arresting
them
on
a
regular
basis
and
somehow
we've
got
to
get
creative,
and
this
is
one
one
small
way
that
I
think
could
have
a
substantial
positive
impact
for
a
low
investment
in
a
high
yield.
E
B
That's
the
circuit
court
system
or
the
federal
court
system
and
we're
we're
are
at
that
mercy
on
when
cases
are
being
moved
and
so
you've
said
it
publicly
that
a
large
number
of
these
violent
crimes
are
done
by
a
small
segment
of
our
population
and
that
old,
saying
that
justice
delayed
as
justice
denied
applies
across
the
board
to
the
the
person
who's
been
charged
with
the
offense,
but
also
to
the
victims
and
to
the
community
as
well.
B
So
this
is
just
we're
all
in
the
circumstance
because
of
a
terrible
pandemic,
and
this
is
a
way
that
we
just
need
to
be
creative
as
the
chiefs
and
lieutenant
king
has
mentioned
to
move
move
forward
with
us.
So
let's,
but
I
also
know
that
the
county
sheriff's
department
tried
this
many
many
years
ago
and
it
didn't
work,
and
I
think
the
problem
was
that
they
bit
off
too
much.
They
could
chew
at
first
so,
and
I've
talked
to
lieutenant
king
about
this.
B
So
we're
going
to
do
this
incrementally
make
sure
we
get
our
our
feets
on
solid
ground
and
we'll
be
moving
forward.
May
I
see
that
your
hand
is
up-
and
I
know
we're
cutting
into
chief
clerk
his
time
and
also
shannon's
time
so
mayor
I'll,
call
on
you
next
for
any
comments
or
questions.
C
Well,
thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
I
just
wanted
to
shout
out
to
chief
reynolds
and
everybody
in
the
department.
I
mean
with
the
the
fact
that
we're
kind
of
back
with
big
events
they're
juggling
a
lot
of
balls.
The
community
policing,
seems
to
be
having
an
impact,
so
I
couldn't
be
more
proud
of
them.
C
But
but
I
did
want
to
ask
how
you
know
what
what
is
also
encouraging
to
me-
and
I
think
maybe
it
has
a
impact
on
our
crime
rate
now
going
down-
is
how
good
they
are
at
catching
people
when
a
crime
is
committed,
and
I
wanted
the
chief
just
to
give
us
a
quick
report
on
the
forensics
facility
and
how
that's
been
helpful
to
us
in
in
in
solving
crimes
that
do
occur.
E
I
I
couldn't
be
more
proud
of
the
team
in
the
forensics
facility
and
there
there's
a
couple
of
force
multipliers
that
that
happen
with
the
new
facility.
E
One
is
nibin
national
ballistics
information
network
and
and
our
ability
to
analyze,
shell
casings
on
a
real-time
basis
and
and
that
it's
just
it's
a
it's
a
it's
a
force
multiplier
and
it's
it's
really
been
a
game
changer
for
us
to
be
able
to
do
that
in-house
now
and
we're
helping
the
region,
the
partners
and
it's
it's
been
tremendous
with
all
the
shootings
that
we've
been
having
the
other
thing
is
the
dna
lab.
E
We
have
a
position
in
the
current
budget
which
judy
is
is
seeking
to
fill
where
it's
competitive
because
of
the
salary
issues
and
all
those
types
of
things
but
she's
going
to
get
it
filled
and
and
beginning
the
process
towards
filling
that
part
of
that
new
facility.
That's
going
to
be
completely
a
game-changer
for
public
safety
and
for
our
our
region
and
and
so
mayor.
E
E
Somebody
from
her
team
is
out
there
and
they're
working
with
our
detectives
and
our
investigators
and
they're
sharing
information,
whether
it's
on
phones
or
whether
it's
on
computers
or
whether
it's
on
whatever
the
the
case
cases
they're
sharing
it
with
each
other,
and
I
got
to
tell
you
that's
the
only
way
that
we
can
keep
our
communities
safe,
is
working
together
and
it's
working
and
judy
is
a
huge
part
of
that
in
her
team.
C
B
Mitchell,
we
really
do
need
to
get
to
chief
korea.
We.
D
Got
is
a
quick
question
chief,
I
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
none
of
this
is
going
on
and
what
you
are
planning
on
doing.
But
let
me
ask
a
quick
question:
how
one
question
was:
how
would
you,
how
did
we
come
up
with
the
time
and,
secondly,
have
we
checked
to
make
sure
that
no
one's
going
to
compensate
it's
a
violation
of
individual
rights,
even
if
they're
out
on
bond
or
even,
if
they're
out
in
the
community?
That's
the
only
questions
when
I
asked.
D
E
Yeah
and
actually
on
both
accounts,
we
don't
have
the
authority
to
do
this
independently,
so
your
questions
are
really
good
and
that's
where
heath
from
day
one
has
met
with
the
judges,
has
done
his
homework
with
the
law
around
the
state
and
south
carolina
and
there's
some
other
horry
county
in
particular,
has
a
pretty
robust
entity
that
that
is
has
a
lot
of
successes,
and
so
this
is
not
our
decision.
It's
based
on
the
law
and
the
courts.
Okay,
that's.
D
All
I
want
to
know
in
case
when
this,
when
this
comes
up
I'll,
be
able
to
explain
to
individuals
that
come
to
me
hey.
This
is
not
the
police
department.
This
is
coming
through
the
court,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
because
I'm
out
there-
and
you
know
that
my
areas
area-
that
have
a
lot,
so
I
have
to
be
able
to
explain
this
when
I'm
out
in
the
community
at
night.
Thank
you
absolutely.
B
All
right,
we're
gonna,
we'll
touch
you
off
g
chief,
just
we
really
are
cutting
into
chief
courier's
time
and
we
haven't
even
gotten
a
shannon
staff
on
an
update
with
the
emergency
management
update,
and
I
know
we
got
a
four
o'clock
real
estate
committee
meeting.
B
So
chief
corey,
I
don't
want
you
to
rush
through
this
and
what
we
could
do
and
I
would
and
actually
tell
me
if
you
would
prefer
this
for
you
and
shannon
for
us
to
have
another
meeting
in
a
couple
of
weeks
as
opposed
to
trying
to
run
through
this
in
two
and
a
half
minutes.
Shannon
gives
me
the
thumb
up
chief
cory.
What's
your
preference
on
this.
F
You
know,
I
think,
that
a
couple
of
the
issues
that
we
have
to
cover
might
take
a
couple
of
minutes,
so
it
probably
would
be
more
beneficial
to
have
the
the
time
allotted
to
do
it.
B
Okay,
so,
madam
clerk,
let's
just
anticipate
scheduling
our
next
meeting
two
weeks
from
the
day
for
public
safety
and
we'll
dedicate
for
just
two
items
on
items,
one
and
item
two
update
on
the
fire
department
and
from
update
from
shannon's
emergency
management
team.
Then,
if
there's.
B
We
need
to
throw
in
there
we
can
put
those
behind
them,
but
I
want
to
do
that.
Is
that,
okay
with
the
rest
of
the
committee
members,
I
don't
want
to
rush
to
these-
are
just
too
important
for
us
to
try
to
cram
in
and
not
give
them
the
time
they
deserve.
And
our
clerk
warned
me.
I
should
give
an
hour
and
a
half,
and
I
didn't
listen
to
her
so,
but
I
think
we'll
just
sign
a
time
crunch
on
other
things
as
well
today.
B
So
committee
members
that
okay
with
the
rest
of
y'all
mitchell
seeking
mayor.
B
You
muted
mayor,
I'm
sorry
all
good,
please
yeah,
okay,
good,
so
we'll
chief
courier
and
shannon,
if
I
think,
let's
just
give
ourselves
a
little
bit
of
breathing
room
and
because
it
really
is
way
too
important,
which
you'll
have
to
tell
us-
and
I
just
want
to
do
a
30
second
run
today.
Okay
right,
so
it
is
a
minute
before
four
o'clock
we're
gonna
transition
over
to
the
next
city
council
meeting,
which
is
real
estate
chief
reynolds
and
your
entire
staff.
B
Thank
you
so
much
that
was
a
very
thorough
and
an
important
update
and
we're
trying
to
do
this
on
an
annual
basis
to
see
so
get
a
sense
of
the
health
of
our
major
departments,
police
and
fire
and
emergency
management
and
amy.
I
know
you
signed
off,
but
thank
you
so
much
as
well
for
that
your
report,
so
we
were
adjourned
and
we'll
transition
to
our
next
committee
meeting.
Thank
you.
