today
and
we
will
begin
as

Actually,

A
We

One
item

discussion
today,
which
is
item

seven,
is
the
police
department's

participation,
program
and
I.
Believe
we
have
a
few
members
from
the
MPD
department
and
the
leadership
of
that
program
here
today
to
tell
us
more
about
this
initiative.
A
Do
we
have
any
questions
on

Seeing
no
questions
all
those
in
favor
of
adopting
and
approving
this
agenda,
please
say
aye

and
we
will
begin
with
item
number
1,
which
is
the
public
comment
period.
So
I
have
two
people
who
have
signed
up
and
number
one
is
mr.
Chuck
perchik
mr.
Chuck
torchic.
If
you
could,
please
come
up
followed
by
Tabitha
Montgomery.
B
Madam
chair
committee,
members
for
the
third
time,
Oh
Chuck,
terrific
I,
live
in
Phillips
for
the
third
time
on
this
issue,
as
I
did
on
June
9th
2019
I
have
provided
you
today
with
a
copy
of
Judge
Kathryn
acquaintances,
highly
unusual
opening
remarks
in
her
sentencing
of
Muhammad
nor
on
June
7th
2019.
When
she
says
quote
the
at
the
end
of
the
second
paragraph,
the
people
of
Minneapolis
need
and
deserve
answers.
Unquote.
She
clearly
is
speaking
to
Minneapolis
city
officials,
when
many
of
us
citizens
heard
those
questions
from
her.
B
We
felt
this
is
a
good
starting
point
in
figuring
out
and
figuring
out
what
lessons
could
be
learned
from
this
tragedy,
so
you
ought
to
at
least
show
some
respect
to
judge
quaint
uns
and
give
her
an
answer.
Maybe
it'll
be
none
of
your
business
judge,
quaint
ins-
or
maybe
you
disagree
with
her-
that
the
people
of
Minneapolis
need
and
deserve
answers,
or
maybe
you
have
some
answers
or
believe
you
can
get
some
either
from
the
police
department
or
from
the
City
Attorney's
Office
whatever
it
is.
B
A
C
C
This
committee
create
a
series
of
staff
directives
over
time
to
the
appropriate
Department
leadership
that
helps
provide
insight
into
the
quantitative
and
qualitative
impact
of
existing
crime
prevention
resources.
With
that
in
mind,
I
ask
this
committee
to
craft
and
release
the
first
staff
directive
in
this
series
to
chief
arredondo
of
the
police,
Minneapolis
Police
Department
regarding
the
city's
crime
prevention
specialist
function,
our
request.
The
directive
helps
provide
insight
into
MPD's
approach
to
measuring
and
understanding
the
cps
function
as
it
relates
to
the
following.
C
How
is
the
execution
and
attainment
of
the
job
duties
and
responsibilities
outlined
in
the
CPS
job
function
currently
assessed,
and
how
frequently
is
this
assessment
conducted?
What
evidence-based
insight
can
MPD
provide?
That
demonstrates
the
CPS
function
prevents
crime.
Thirdly,
how
does
the
department
currently
identify
and
respond
to
areas
of
opportunity
within
the
CPS
function
over
the
past
five
years?
C
Can
MPD
outline
specific
examples
of
areas
of
opportunity
that
were
addressed
with
the
support
of
this
council
material
advancements
can
be
made
toward
ensuring
a
broader
and
shared
understanding
around
the
impact
and
efficacy
of
existing
crime
prevention
resources.
I
have
submitted
this
statement
into
the
public
record.
A
Thank
you.
So
much
do
we
have
any
other
members
of
the
public
that
would
like
to
address
the
committee
today,
seeing
none.
We
shall
go
ahead
and
receive
and
file
these
public
comments
for
regarding
public
safety
issues,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye.
Now
our
consent
agenda
I,
already
read
and
includes
items
three
four
and
five
and
six
all
those
in
favor
of
approving
these
consent
items.
A
Please
say:
aye
aye
and
now
we
shall
have
the
public
hearing
for
the
reappointment
of
the
position
of
the
director
of
Emergency
Management,
so
our
Emergency
Management
Director
mr.
Barrett
Lane,
is

in
the

more

members
of
the
community
and
partner
organizations
who
came
today
to
the
public

this
time.
This

Welcome.
D
Well
good
morning,
madam
chair
kennel
and
committee
members,
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
publicly
affirm
the
letter
that
I
provided
the
committee
for
consideration
and
contemplation
as
you
consider
to
reappoint
Barrett
lean-to
director
emergency
management
for
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
My
name
is
Rick
chute
I
am
the
director
of
emergency
management
for
the
city
of
st.
D
D
You
know
knowledge,
skills
and
attributes
in
his
profession
to
to
care
for
the
preparedness
of
Minneapolis
and
I've
relied
on
it
greatly
to
improve
my
program
across
the
river
and
I've
also
become
a
great
friend
of
Barrett's
and
I
know
that
I
can
call
him
with
not
only
professional
questions
but
with
personal
questions
and
and
as
I
said,
his
heart
is
in
the
right
place
and
he
is
a
great
choice
to
continue
to
to
Shepherd
the
emergency
management
program
from
Minneapolis
so
well
into
the
future.
Thank
you.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair
committee,
members.
My
name
is
Eric
woggie
I'm,
the
emergency
management
director
for
Hennepin,
County,
I've,
known
Barret,
for
probably
almost
a
decade
now
always
look
forward
to
working
with
him
appreciate
his
all
HECO
Rick's
comments,
but
I
appreciate
his
partnership
and
his
focus
on
serving
the
residents
of
Minneapolis
and
making
the
city
a
safer
and
more
resilient
place.
I
particularly
care
for
his
championship
of
standardization
and
plans
and
using
the
National
Incident
Management
System.
E
The
incident
command
system
and
focusing
emergency
management
plans
on
that
that
helps
a
line
through
the
county
level.
Up
through
the
state
level
in
the
national
level
makes
it
a
lot
easier.
You
have
to
respond
to
incidents
and
plan
for
contingencies
and
major
events
like
Super
Bowls,
and
things
like
that.
I
have
submitted
a
letter
to
the
committee,
which
has
a
lot
more
content
to
it.
So
I'll
just
keep
my
remarks
brief,
but
I
do
support
the
continuation
of
Barrett
in
this
position
and
look
forward
to
working
with
them
in
the
future.
Thank
you.
Thank.
F
Good
morning,
madam
chair
committee,
members,
my
name
is
Kristy
roellig
and
I
am
the
emergency
programs
manager
for
the
Metropolitan
airports.
Commission
I
have
known
Barrett
since
2002
when
I
worked
here
in
the
city
Minneapolis
as
a
deputy
director
of
emergency
preparedness,
the
fire
department,
and
he
was
on
the
City
Council
Barrett
was
a
champion
for
emergency
management
from
day
one.
F
G
Sure
committee
members,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
do
it
address
you
today
and
to
say
a
few
words.
Those
words
are
going
to
be.
Basically,
words
of
thanks.
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor
for
his
confidence
and
reappointing
me
to
this
position
and
creating
the
opportunity
to
be
further
service.
I
want
to
thank
you
and
the
whole
council
for
your
ongoing
support
and
partnership
of
emergency
management
without
a
solid
policy
background,
and
these
functions
just
won't
happen.
G
I'd
like
to
thank
my
colleagues,
those
who
are
here,
those
who
have
provided
additional
written
support
and
those
who
are
not
here.
These
folks
represent
a
broad
professional
community
that
we
can
call
on,
and
they
can
call
on
in
case
that
bad
day
comes
to
our
town
and
I'm
really
honored
to
be
part
of
that
community
of
really
dedicated
professional
public
servants.
Finally,
I
want
to
thank
my
staff.
G
It's
been
almost
exactly
eight
years
since
I
came
back
to
the
Minneapolis
and
the
good
work
that
has
happened
has
become
has
happened
because
I
have
a
great
staff.
They
work
hard,
they
believe
they've
put
their
shoulders
to
the
wheel
and
they've
made
it
happen
and
nothing
that
we've
accomplished
would
have
been
accomplished
without
their
support
throughout
these
years.
So
with
that,
madam
chair
I,
thank
you.
It's
an
honor
to
be
able
to
serve
in
this
capacity.
G
A
H
H
where
Barrett
would
lead
a
team
through
a
critical
response
and
that
sort
of
coordination
is
so
necessary,
especially
when
you've
got
an
enterprise
as
complex
as
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
you're
working
with
as
many
jurisdictions
as
we
were.
His
work
isn't
just
about
the
Challenger
crisis
of
the
moment
what
they
are
planning
for.
Are
these?
What,
if
circumstances,
what
if
something
happens
that
we
may
not
in
anticipate
without
digging
in
deep
and
so
that
kind
of
work,
whether
it's
transportation
or
whether
floods,
tornadoes
lightning
and
the
unimaginable?
H
That
is
as
how
they're
able
to
help
get
us
through
those
difficult
circumstances
that
I
have
mentioned.
Then
government,
our
jobs,
are
often
difficult
and
oftentimes
they're
a
thankless
and
go
unnoticed,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
we
lift
up
some
a
Barrett's
work
in
this
instance
and
so
I'm
proud
to
put
him
forward.
Thank
you
all
for
the
time
I
do
ask
for
your
support.
I
I
Barrett
is
a
predecessor
of
mine
on
Macau,
so
in
my
own
former
councilmember
I,
see
that
gives
him
a
perspective
of
what
a
lot
of
direct
community
input
and
feedback
looks
like
when
things
go
wrong
or
when
they
go
big,
like
the
Super
Bowl
or
when
there's
an
epidemic
threat,
and
that's
a
really
nice
benefit
to
the
public
for
our
director
to
have
that
really
personal
perspective.
It
makes
him
particularly
effective
at
communicating
across
the
city
when
called
upon
or
when
we
call
him
so
I'm.
I
Also
a
former
disaster
recovery
and
business
continuity
worker
in
the
private
sector
and
I
assure
you.
We
couldn't
be
more
fortunate
to
have
someone
with
Barrett's
professional
qualifications,
but
on
a
personal
level,
his
softer
skills
and
attributes,
as
shown
by
his
leadership
with
the
Boy
Scouts,
his
practical,
resourceful
leadership
and
special
care
of
so
many
youth
in
our
community
and
his
daily
commitment
and
sincere
enthusiasm
for
this
work.
These
are
the
things
that
I
think
make
him
truly
special
to
this
role
and
I'm
grateful
that
you
choose
to
continue.
A
We
will
we
will
do
that
shortly
after
we
close
the
public
hearing
which
I'll
do
right
now.
So
thank
you,
everyone
who
came
to
testify.
We
will
close
the
public
hearing
and
they're
moving
on
to
the
comments
from
our
elected
officials
now
and
councilmember
Fletcher.
If
you'd
like
to
comment
before
we
vote
on
councilmember
linear
poem,
Asano's
motion.
K
Home
son,
it
started
very
well
so
I'll,
just
echo
I
appreciate
the
continued
growth
in
in
this
department
and
in
our
capacity
I
think
we
all
sleep
better.
Knowing
that
there's
a
plan
for
how
we
communicate
how
we
make
decisions,
how
we
maintain
continuity,
if
something
happens
and
hope
we
never
use
most
of
the
plans
that
you're
making,
but
thank
you
for
the
work
that
you're
doing
and
for
continuing
to
improve
our
systems
to
coordinate
that
are
with
with
other
agencies
and
and
keep
us
in
good
shape
when
when
we
do
need
you
thank
you.
K
A
Will
note
that
we
did
get
many
wonderful
letters
in
support
of
your
reappointment
that
speak
volumes
of
the
the
sector
and
the
respect
that
you
hold
within
that
industry?
So
I
really
personally
appreciated
reading
all
of
those
letters
and
made
sure
to
afford
them
to
Cantor
city
clerk
to
ensure
that
they're
part
of
the
public
record
and
as
you
are,
that
study
hand
that
makes
sure
that
we
are
ready
to
go
in
those
moments
of
deep
pressure
and
deep
leadership.
A
I
just
wanted
to
personally
thank
you
for
your
public
service
to
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
to
our
residents,
and
the
National
League
of
Cities
is
actually
having
a
big
workshop
on
emergency
preparedness
and
and
management
of
moments
of
crisis.
So
I
look
forward
to
I
signed
up
thinking.
I
want
to
come
back
and
reconnect
with
you
and
the
things
that
I
learned
there
to
see
how
we
can
better
use
this
committee
to
really
lift
up
the
work
that
you're
doing
and
and
really
share
in
that
learning
as
an
enterprise.
A
So
without
further
comment,
councilmember
Palmisano
has
made
a
motion
that
our
committee
approved
the
reappointment
by
the
executive
committee
of
mr.
barrett
lane
to
the
appointed
position
of
director
of
emergency
management
for
a
two-year
term,
beginning
January,
2nd
2020,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye
and
that
motion
carries.
A
So
thank
you
that
moves
forward
to
our
City
Council
meeting
and
now
we
shall
go
ahead
and
move
on
to
our
discussion
item,
which
is
item,
number
seven
and
the
agenda,
and
it
is
a
brief
presentation
by
the
Minneapolis
Police
Department
in
regards
to
the
lights
on
program.
So
if
we
could
have
one
of
our
participants
here,
just
go
ahead
and
join
us
at
microphone
and
walk
us
through
the
initiative
and
invite
anybody
who
you
think
would
help
us
understand
the
program.
Good.
L

members,

side,
which
is
the
most
police
precinct
in
our
community
in
our
city,
I.
Think
that
gave
me
a
connectivity
to
the
issues
related
to
policing
and
to
community
experiences
that
had
everything
to
do
with
the
beginning.
Starting
of
this
program-
and
here
with
me
today
also
is
Sherman.
Patterson
and
Furman
is
former
mayor.
M
Rybak's
public
safety
policy,
aide
and
chief
harteau
is
community
engagement
coordinator
for
a
few
years,
and
we
are
both
working
on
this
program.
So
this
is
on
city,
council,
city
hall,
alumni
program
and
and
and
I
think
you'll
get
the
vibe
of
that
as
as
we
go
into
it.
So
we
are
aware
of
the
tensions
surrounding
policing
of
late
and
all
the
videos
people
have
seen.
M
People
have
seen
on
the
TV
and
even
the
tensions
here
in
our
own
city,
with
the
Jamar
Clark
thing
and
falando
issues,
and
so
on,
and-
and
we
felt
a
need
to
address
this
in
a
holistic
way
that
honors
policing,
honors
the
community
and
solve
the
problem
and
that's
what
the
lights
on
program
does
and
well
so
what
this
does
is
you
have
several
items
in
your
hands.
There
there's
a
police
brochure
that
we
onboard
police
with
and
that's
the
eight-and-a-half
by
eleven
type
of
thing.
M
Then
you
have
a
brochure,
a
flyer
of
the
lights
on
program
itself
and
and
off
micro
grants,
the
parent
organization
and
then,
of
course,
the
voucher.
You
have
a
voucher
in
your
hand,
you
can
see
what
the
drivers
actually
get
and
they
turn
those
in
to
the
to
the
service
station
and
and
then
their
lights
replace,
absolutely
free.
And
that
is
whether
or
not
it's
just
a
light
bulb
that
costs
ten
dollars
and
25
cents.
M
Or
if
it's
a
wiring
problem
up
to
two
hundred
and
fifty
dollars,
we
will
even
fix
that,
and
so
we
fix
everything.
And
if
it's
over
two
hundred
and
fifty
dollars,
we
will
contribute
two
hundred
and
fifty
dollars
to
the
repairs
of
that
electrical
problem.
So
it's
a
very
generous
program.
You
can
imagine
how
excited
everybody
is
going
to
show
you
a
short
video.
O
I'm
driving
and
all
of
a
sudden
lights
go
on
behind
me.
I'm,
like
are
you
sleeping,
kidding
me
right
now,
it's
Saturday
morning
and
nine
o'clock
do
something
else
and
he's
like.
Did
you
know
that
your
lights,
you
know
in
the
back
was
out.
I
was
like
you,
gotta,
be
kidding
me
right
now,
so
I'm
thinking,
I'm
gonna
get
a
ticket
that
kind
of
stuff
and
I'm
not
in
the
mood
to
deal
with
this.
To
be
honest,
he
comes
right
back
and
he
is
like
you
know.
Everything
checks
out
mr.
M
N
The
form
of
a
voucher
in
the
past
when
you'd
issue,
citations
or
fix-it
tickets,
two
things
could
happen.
They
get
a
citation
which
had
a
financial
implication
to
it,
but
also
took
the
citizens
time
in
getting
the
car
fix.
Then
the
citizen
would
have
to
come
back
to
the
police
station.
The
precinct
or
the
agency
that
issued
it
and
another
person
would
have
to
verify
that
these
equipment
violations
were
taken
care
of
officers.
P
M
We've
not
actually
done
any
fundraising
for
lights
on
people
hear
about
it
even
second
or
third
hand
and
send
money
in
to
fund
the
program,
and
so
when
they
hear
of
something
so
elegant.
So
simple,
so
economical,
it's
just
everything,
just
kind
of
falls
into
place
and
they
wanted
to
participate
in
that.
What's.
P
N
P
M
Of
Dunning
four
people
taking
their
cars
away,
impounding
them
and
making
them
lose
their
jobs.
Now
we
have
a
restorative
solution
that
actually
does
what
the
law
wanted
in
the
first
place,
fix
the
life,
make
the
community
safe
and
leave
everybody
with
a
great
taste
in
their
mouth
and
the
community
really
more
United.
M
So
that's
basically,
that's
the
program
and
I'll
just
add
a
little
bit
that
Minneapolis
led
the
way
here
here
in
this
region,
and-
and
you
know
that
Hennepin
County
just
announced
couple
weeks
ago
that
they
were
implementing
lights
on
so
now,
not
only
the
county,
but
the
park
board.
The
Metro
Transit
Police
au
of
M
police
are
all
on
board
and
the
air
force
has
led
the
way
it
is
a
rare
car.
It's
a
rare
collaboration
between
public
sector,
private
sector
and
and
the
nonprofit
sector.
M
We
actually
have
statewide
now
80
over
80
police
departments
in
the
state
participating
and
we
have
over
a
hundred
service
providers,
but
just
participating,
and
they
are
equally
enthusiastic.
They
get
to
give
back
to
the
community
by
repairing
these
bulbs
and
and
even
get
repeat
business.
So
it's
good
for
everybody
and,
of
course
the
drivers
are
just
as
static
they.
M
In
fact,
while
they're
getting
their
light
replaced,
they
fill
out
surveys
and
they
say
things
like
you
know:
I've
been
stopped
three
times
and
was
rolling
the
dice
for
the
fourth
time,
hoping
I
didn't
get
a
ticket,
because
I
have
two
kids
in
high
school
and
I'm
low
income
or
the
cops
are
saying
they
get
hugs
they
get
high-fives.
They
get
thanks
and
and
really
deep
appreciation.
So
this
is
really
having
a
very
positive
impact
on
the
community
and
even
the
funding
community.
M
Last
year
we
got
one
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
dollars
from
the
Joyce
foundation
out
of
Chicago.
That
has
funded
initiatives
here
in
the
city
and
and
for
2020.
We
we
now
have
about
a
million
dollars
donated
by
a
anonymous
donor
to
expand
nationwide,
so
I
think
Minneapolis
can
take
great
pride
in
knowing
that
this
initiative
was
born.
The
sensibilities
of
City
Hall
brought
into
the
marketplace,
and
it's
a
win-win-win
concept
and
it's
a
different
way
to
deal
with
problems
and,
in
fact,
Rochester
peds.
M
One
of
the
REC
Rochester
civic
leaders
came
over
to
me
at
the
MCN
Awards
and
said
that
they
had
stopped
towing
cars.
They
have
a
downtown
alternate
side
parking,
not
related
to
snow.
It's
they
stopped
towing
the
cars
that
were
broken
down
because
they
have
this
low-income
immigrant
population
that
does
all
the
work
down
there
and
now
the
mechanics
in
town
got
together
and
are
offering
reduced
price
repair
work
for
those
cars
instead.
M
M
So
we
anticipate
that
there's
going
to
be
incredible
to
use
and
you
can
imagine
of
the
total
235
issued
last
year.
Those
were
235
quality
interactions
that
left
the
drivers
feeling
totally
good
about
the
MPD
and
about
the
city.
They
don't
know
who
lights
on
our,
but
there
is
the
the
police
officers
get
there
to
them.
M
They're
grateful
to
the
police
officers,
it's
turning
around
and
and
those
235
people
told
probably
five
people
in
their
lives
about
this,
and
they
post
these
things
on
Facebook
and
online,
and
so
the
potential
here
to
change
the
narrative
and
give
the
cops
something
else
to
do.
Besides
a
Taser
and
a
gun
and
a
ticket
stack
of
tickets,
no,
they
doing
this
willingly
because
no
police
officer
wants
to
walk
up
to
a
car,
see
a
child
in
the
backseat
of
a
low
income
driver
and
then
add
to
their
burden.
M
A
A
Q
Q
Q
J
L
R
L
Is
a
different
story,
but
our
officers
taking
of
coupons
to
anybody
deserve
to
get
the
coupon
because
they're
lights
out.
We
also
have
the
precinct
hands
out
coupons.
So
if
somebody
gets
you
know
part
of
our
policy,
if
a
driver
gets
pulled
over
the
officer
doesn't
have
a
coupon,
they
will
get
my
blue
card
and
tell
them
to
go
to
the
precinct
and
they
can
get
a
coupon
I.
L
Personally
and
chief,
we
run
down
that
we
keep
coupons
and
our
own
personal
squad
cars
and
we
basically
I
give
out
coupons
when
I
see
somebody
needs
it.
I
coach,
high
school
football,
so
I
got
sixty
kids
and
probably
twenty
one
half
cars,
so
I've
had
one
or
two
of
my
football
players
who
had
their
lights.
All
I
should
know
coupon.
He
went
down
to
Bobby
and
Steve's
and
whatever
good,
to
take
care
of
itself.
So.
M
That's
about
it.
We
we
kind
of
leave
it
up
to
the
police
department.
We
are
nonprofit,
so
we
don't
dictate
policy,
but
it
kind
of
errors,
but
the
MPD
does
give
it
to
everyone,
because
we,
you
can't
really
tell
who
is
it
going
through
a
hard
time
somebody
could
be
driving
bought,
bought
a
used
BMW
for
a
couple
thousand
dollars.
M
So
we
just
give
it
to
everyone,
and
some
people
have
one
kind
of
Benz
showed
up
at
a
local
shop
and
and
says
you
don't
they
said
no
I'm
not
here
for
to
get
the
light
replaced.
I
just
didn't
believe
thing
was
for
real
and
I
came
to
see
I'll
pay
for
my
own
lightbulb.
So
we
don't.
We
try
not
to
guess
yeah
I.
K
Appreciate
that
but
use
it,
it
was
a
different
story
if
someone's
in
a
Mercedes
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
understand
is
this
that
the
officers
discretion
about
whether
they
use
this
tool
or
not,
and
so
the
officer
is
making
a
judgment
about
whether
this
is
a
beneficial
tool
to
a
particular
person.
They're
pulling
over
I.
Think.
L
I
think
Osman
former
councilman
or
answer
that
question
we're
all
Justin
gave
the
coupon
out
to
anybody.
I
think
I
stated
that
the
Mercedes
story
was
basically
what
Don
told
you
he
came
up
to
Bob
in
the
Sears
and
they
thought.
Oh,
my
god
is
a
brand-new
Mercedes.
This
guy's
got
a
coupon
but,
like
he
said
he
wanted
to
see.
Was
this
real
program
and
he
thanked
us
for
it.
So
thank.
K
When
that
stop
does
happen,
and
so
people
are
feeling
sort
of
harassed,
people
are
feeling
exposed
to
a
level
of
escalation,
that's
potential
when
they
get
stopped
and
then
at
the
end
we
give
them
a
coupon,
which
is
great
if
none
of
the
other
things
that
happened
like
a
search
on
an
arrest
or
other
escalations
happen.
But
I'm
I'm
feeling
some
confusion
about
how
this
diminishes
that
yeah.
K
So,
in
our
interactions
where
we
I
mean,
first
of
all,
when
you
pull
somebody
over
and
even
in
the
video
mr.
Buckner
sort
of
testified,
you
know
you
get
that
that
sinking
feeling
in
your
stomach,
you
know
and
then
are
we
if
we're
planning
to
give
the
coupon
we're,
not
gonna
escalate
to
search
we're
not
looking
in
the
car
and
see
if
we
see
something
that
we
think
might
be
worth
looking
at.
I
mean
it.
L
We
do
so
I
may
say,
but
that's
not.
This
was
a
traffic
stop
and
they're,
basing
it
on
they're
trying
to
get
to
probable
cause
to
make
that
stop
and
they
take
it
further.
Maybe
they
have
some
information,
I,
don't
know,
but
this
whole
coupon
thing
me
being
a
young
black
man
growing
up
in
North,
Minneapolis
and
mother
on
welfare
I'm
trying
to
make
it
to
school.
But
this
piece
of
crap
a
car
I
got
if
it
officer
pulled
me
over
again
be
a
ticket
for
for
my
light
out.
J
L
To
do
my
son's
car
I
had
to
take
the
whole
bumper
off
and
fender
and
that's
kind
of
kind
of
expensive,
so
we
can
help
art.
You
know
help
young
people,
people
were
poor,
help
them
off
that
way,
then
I
think
it
makes
me
feel
good
as
a
police
officer.
It
makes
me
feel
good
that
my
officers
are
doing
it
and
that's
what
we're
trying
to
do.
Engage
yep.
K
So
I
appreciate
that,
and
this
is
a
good
program
and
it
it
solves
one
of
the
problems
that
community
has
identified.
I'm,
also
just
naming
because
we're
over
a
year
past,
when
we
asked
for
a
traffic
study
to
look
at
those
pretext
stops
and
to
look
at
some
of
the
other
issues
that
coming
to
this
committee,
with
a
solution
to
a
narrow
piece
of
it
which
is
which
it
is,
and
it
is
a
solution
and
it's
good
and
it
is
going
to
help.
K
People
feels
incomplete
and
I'm,
still
very
interested
in
seeing
the
traffic
enforcement
report
and
seeing
what's
going
to
be
our
strategy
to
eliminate
racial
inequities
and
the
way
that
we're
using
traffic
enforcement
as
a
tool
and
the
way
that
we're
using
pretext
stops
so
I
want
to.
You
know
we
can
separate
those
things
a
little
bit
and
be
grateful
for
the
work
that
this
organization
is
doing
and
for
the
improvement
that
this
makes
to
the
interactions
that
we
are
currently
have.
K
L
M
I
can
tell
you
right
now
that
we
don't
have
any
competin
had
any
complaints
and
the
only
people
who
are
a
little
bit
tepid
about
it.
Other
people
who
say
I
would
have
fixed
my
light
anyway,
and
otherwise
it's
all.
It's
really
all
good,
so
I'm,
looking
forward
to
being
able
to
share
those
results
with
you
in
the
future.
Thank.
A
You
so
much
for
that
I'm,
not
seeing
any
more
questions
or
comments
from
the
committee
I
want
to.
Thank
you
all
for
taking
the
time
to
come
and
share
more
information
about
this
effort.
I
think
it's
going
to
be
very
helpful
and
I,
probably
you
probably
have
the
data
that
shows
that
it
is
helpful
to
low
income,
clean
communities.
Immigrant
community
members,
so
I
appreciate
the
introduction
of
that
constructive
tool
to
engage
both
our
community
members
who
are
driving
out
on
the
road
and
who
need
to
have
safe
cars
that
have
their
lights
on.
A
To
avoid
escalation
of
future
problems
and
working
with
them
in
partnership
and
constructive
partnership
with
our
Minneapolis
Police
Department
I
do
just
have
one
kind
of
question
which
I
heard
in
the
video
was
really
into
growing
the
program
statewide.
Do
you
have
plans
to
do
that?
How
hard?
How
easy
would
it
be?
Do
you
do
you
have
like
a
maybe
a
projected
budget?
Are
you
gonna
go
around
the
state
and
do
a
tour
to
engage
all
the
police
departments.
M
M
We've
we've
attended
the
the
Minnesota
sheriffs
Association,
Annual
Meeting,
and
we've
attended
the
police,
chief's
state
police,
chief's
annual
meeting
we're
gonna
attend
that
again
this
year
and
believe
me,
you
go
to
one
of
these
things
and
the
phone
is
ringing
off
the
hook
for
a
few
weeks
after
that,
and
so
it
sells
it's
a
program
that
sells
itself
and
once
you
have
a
chief
of
st.
Paul,
Minneapolis,
Hennepin,
County's
sheriff
and
so
on
on
board.
M
All
everybody
else
is
falling
in
line
and
in
fact,
Herman
Patterson
is
on
going
out
state
in
out
state
areas
of
Bemidji.
You
know
driving
back
and
forth
daily
to
on
board
new
police
departments
and
we're
confident
it's
not
a
matter
of
this.
The
demand
it's
just
a
matter
of
how
much
time
this
guy
has
to
go
all
over
and
we're
confident
that
by
the
fall
of
this
year
we'll
we
will
have
the
entire
state
on
board.
With
this
program.
R
M
A
That
thank
you
that
was
really
great.
I
was
reading
it
in
Spanish,
so
I
appreciate
that,
because
I
think
in
some
of
the
more
rural
towns
and
areas
of
our
city,
this
might
have
a
deeper
impact
because
those
departments
might
not
have
the
resources
that
that
we
have
to
do
the
cultural,
relevant
trainings
and
the
addressing
the
biases
within
individuals
and
and
and
policing
departments.
So
I
could
see
that
going
a
longer
a
longer
way
in
in
those
areas
that
have
less
support
to
reform
their
their
policing
systems.
A
Let's
stay
in
touch
about
it
great!
Thank
you,
alright!
So
I'm
not
seeing
any
more
questions
or
comments
from
our
committee
here,
so
we
will
go
ahead
and
receive
and
file
this
overview
presentation
of
the
police
department's
participation
in
the
lights
on
program,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye
and
that
item
moves
forward
without
further
business
before
us.
We
are
adjourned.
