A
B
B
So
as
far
as
the
diversity
we
do
have
malaya
coleman
and
randall.
B
A
B
Sure,
I
guess
it's
it's
kind
of
a
broad.
These
procedures
are
very
policies
that
are
currently
in
the
final
draft
or
have
been
completed.
B
That's
their
that's
their
benefits,
paying
their
benefits.
You
know
things
that
can
operate
in
the
world,
but
then
we
have
our
policies
and
procedures
that
covers
everything
from
you
know
the
type
of
uniform
you
wear
the
standards
of
conduct,
your
procedures.
When
you
make
impress
different
report
writing
systems.
You
know
all
different
stuff
that
we
do.
B
We
have
some
that
are
prescribed
directly
from
the
police
officers
and
training
council,
for
instance,
pursuing
policy.
That's
been
yeah,
there's
been
a
standardized
pursuit
policy,
probably
over
the
last
20
years,
plus
in
the
state
of
connecticut,
where
it
describes
how
officers
now
there's
different
nuances
for
each
individual
department,
but
it
has
to
you
have
to
combine
it
with
the
overall
state
policies.
B
And
that's
already
on
our
website:
that's
something
that
anybody
any
member,
along
with
all
of
the
class
policies
in
quest,
is
the
connecticut
law
enforcement
government
connected
clesp.
But
basically
it's
all
the
policies
we
have
to
come
by
these
are
not
optional.
These
are
things
that
we
have
now
a
bit
of
good
news.
We
are
scheduled
for
accreditation
post
for
state
accreditation
next
june
and
we're
scheduled
for
kalia,
which
is
the
commission.
B
The
detective
commander
and
sergeant
get
to
review
those
policies
and
help
provide
insight
and
input.
You
know
like
conducting
a
forward
line.
We
have
suspects,
there's
things
that
we
have
to
adhere
to,
but
they
may
add
some
nuances.
B
If
there's
any
procedures
that
the
committee
is
interested
in
asking
about
certain
highlights
or
if
there's
something
you'd
like
to
hear
about
in
more
detail,
I
can
bring
those
where
I
can
have
the
proper
subject
matter:
expert
kind
of
provide
free
time
but
to
say
policies,
there's
so
many
of
them
and
they're.
So.
B
Some
time
ago
contracted
with
david
logan,
which
does
a
lot
of
the
initial
policy
stuff.
They
work
with
the
deputy
chief
who
ends
up
taking
that
policy
which,
maybe
and
between
him
and
lieutenant
minor.
Whoever
else
would
take
discussions.
B
His
organization,
I
will
tell
you
eric
daigle,
you
know-
has
an
outstanding
reputation
nationwide.
B
Stuff
we
actually
use
so
our
officers
get
a
weekly
update,
weekly
training
and
basically
it's
a
lecture,
probably
two
to
three
minutes,
long-
that
that
comes
by
the
internet,
that
they
are
required
to
sign
up,
and
maybe
your
case
law
could
be
procedures
a
lot
of
it's
more
legally,
more
handsome
about
things
that
are
going
on
in
the
u.s
or
things
that
are
just
leading
to
law
enforcement.
B
B
B
So
it
kind
of
works
out
well
and
just
by
atkinstan's
post.
As
you
know,
it's
part
of
the
police
accountability
bill.
It's
changed
a
little
bit
since
its
initial
passage,
but
there
was.
We
were
already
on
the
path
to
fleet
accreditation
at
first
there
was
a
push
from
the
legislature
to
have
every
department
quickly
accredited.
I
will
tell
you
that,
and
this
is
from
them
not
for
me,
because
their
work's
not
mine,
they
don't.
B
A
B
B
We
use
a
platform
called
power,
dms
dms
for
documentation
management
system,
but
essentially
each
of
our
officers
has
in
our
dispatchers
and
our
seo,
which,
in
our
those
officers
that
are
in
the
academy,
as
well
as
our
csos,
have
access
to
that.
Basically
they're
logging
into
this
computer
system,
and
if
we
propagate
a
new
policy
recently,
you
know
deputy
chief
made
some
provisions.
B
Of
course,
policy
based
on
increasingly
increasingly
enacted
list
those
updates
get
made
in
that
system,
and
it
goes
up
to
all
the
officers
saying
you
haven't
told
the
state
to
sign
up
on
this
policy.
They're
required
to
do
it.
One
of
those
annual
requirements
which
is
happening
now
is
the
pursuit
of
policy.
They
have.
B
A
B
It
maybe
it's
you
know,
I've
got
to
process
this
piece
of
evidence.
I
want
to
make
sure
I'm
doing
it
the
right
way
or
look
it
up.
The
policy
will
give
you
a
step
by
step.
You
know,
that's
that's
something
that
they
they
can
utilize
right
at
their
fingertips
or,
if
they're
in.
B
There
was
a
state
policy,
but
there
was
a
lot
of
other
stuff
that
happened
with
it.
So
we
sat
down
with
the
union
to
kind
of
remember
what
that
policy
was.
You
know,
retention
periods,
you
know
when
officers
have
not
kind
of
explained
that
and
it
gives
them
a
chance
to
look
at
it,
and
I
will
tell
you
that
you
know
a
lot
of
the
dialogues
could
die
and
sometimes
people
will
pick
up
on
things
that
we
didn't.
Think
of
so
it
may
go
to
a
you.
B
Where
we've
had
body
cameras
for
six
years
now,
what
will
happen
now
is
that
we're
going
to
put
we've
got
these
in
the
cars
and
they
have
to
be.
B
B
B
The
different
types
of
information-
that's
on
there
we
had.
You
know
it
was
a
sunday
night,
so
it
was
kind
of
slow.
There
was
no
light
coming,
but
we
had
the
usual
stuff.
We
found
one
gentleman
that
had
an
expired
registration
because
when
they're
driving
along
they're,
taking
in
your
your
license
plate
now,
so
if
you
see
a
patrol
car
behind
he's,
checking
you
out,
which
is.
B
But
like
I
said
he
showed
me
all
the
hot
spots,
you
know
the
hookah
lounge,
all
the
hotels
are
kind
of
you
know
shady,
but
it
was.
It
was
very
interesting
and
of
course
I
got
to
meet
a
lot
of
the
officers,
but
it
was
a
fourth
midnight
shift
and
about
halfway
through
the
shift
he
said.
Are
you
gonna
go
home?
I
said
no,
no,
I'm
here
for
this.
B
He
couldn't
believe
he
said
most
people
bail
out
about
halfway
through
the
ship,
but
you
know
I
mean
it
was
just
interesting,
the
whole
thing
and
talking
because
I
asked
him,
you
know
why
he
got
into
law
enforcement,
go
to
the
background
and
I'm
going
to
go
on
all
three
shifts,
because
I
want
to
see
the
difference
and
then
I'm
actually
going
to
ask
if
I
can
sit
in
with
the
dispatchers
too,
because
I
want
to
see
what
goes
on
with
their
dispatchers
and
how
they
handle
the
calls
and
do
the
different
stuff.
A
B
This
is
something
we've
been
doing
for
years.
Covet
obviously
changed
this
yeah,
you
know
having
two
people
in
the
car
now,
but
if
any
member
of
this
committee
is
interested
just
you
can
send
me
an
email,
you
can
send
an
email,
you
can
send
genie.
Our
administrative
assistant,
email
just
got
to
kind
of
give.
B
B
So
these
are
the
12th
we'll
send
this
link
out.
These
are
the
12
policies,
the
main
policies
online.
Thank
you
well,
biased,
based
policing,
making
sure
you're
not
using
doing
unconscious
bias
and
pulling
people
over
that
type
of
thing,
correct
use
of
force,
electronic
control,
weapons
pacers.
We
have
yeah,
so
I
mean
he
may
have
mentioned
it
last
time
we
used
to
have
one
music
force
policy.
That
was
three
pages
long
now
we've
got
14
of
them
so
that
that's
just
the
electronic
control
devices.
B
B
You
know
we're
actually
hiring
the
mississippi
officers
now,
but
we
have
six
officers
in
the
academy
three
that
will
graduate
later
this
month
and
then
three
that
just
went
into
the
academy
so
we'll
be
for
a
little
while
so
we've
got,
we've
got
a
great
group
of
yellow
officers,
new
officers,
I
should
say
we.
B
B
They
gave
us
two
for
sure,
hoping
that
we
might
be
able
to
get
another
one
out
of
it
like.
I
said
six
in
the
academy
now,
but
we're
also
looking
at
officers-
and
this
is
where
I
kind
of
tried
to
leverage
some
of
my
other
experiences.
We've
got.
We've
got
officers
that
or
potential
officers
that
were
trained
in
the
military,
particularly
the
army's
military
police
corps,
and
if
we're
able
to
get
them
hired,
they
have
much
abbreviated
academy.
They
don't
want
to
go
to
the
academy.
Basically,
what
happens?
B
We're
able
to
take
their
credentials
as
a
soldier
that
did
military
police
in
the
army
and
do
a
comparative
certification
where
there
are
certain
classes,
they'll
have
to
take
that
are
unique
to
connecticut,
but
instead
of
having
a
six
month
plus
academy,
it
would
roughly
be
a
month
less
than
a
month
and
we
would
put
them
through
an
fpo
program
and
we've
had
one
officer
who
benefited
from
one
officer
in
that
system
already
who,
as
we
speak,
is
completing
some
military
training.
B
So
he's
not
working
right
now
he's
way
a
military
league,
but
we've
got
some
other
individuals
that
we've
been
talking
to
coming
for
interviews
that
we're
looking
at
potentially
the
same
thing,
so
it
kind
of
it
kind
of
cuts
down
on
that
amount
of
time.
I
know
in
the
past
when
I've
come
into
this
room
and
talked
to
previous
town
councils.
They've
asked
well,
you
know
what,
if
you
hire
somebody,
how
long
does
it
take
in.
A
B
It
takes
about
a
year
when
we
hire
an
officer
off
the
street
that
has
no
training
between
the
you
know
month,
two
months
it
takes
to
recruit
and
get
them
higher
and
do
the
vetting.
You
know
the
polygraph,
the
psychological,
the
background
investigation,
the
health
screening,
the
physical
agility,
all
that
stuff
takes
probably
anywhere
between
two
months
around
two
months,
let's
say,
and
then
they
go
into
the
academy
for
another
six
plus
months,
and
then
they
come
out
here
on
fto
for
another
10
to
18
weeks.
B
So
we
don't
get
the
full
benefit
of
anybody
for
a
year
if
we're
able
to
hire
some
more
individuals
that
have
training
before
they
come
through
the
door
that
will
that
will
lessen
that
and
basically
it'll
make
it
less
expensive
we're
going
to
be
paying
them
a
salary
either
way.
But
right
now
we
won't
be.
You
know,
backfilling
time.
So
that's
what
we're
trying
to
do.
Do
you
see
any
like
say
we
do
you
guys
do
hire
from
military?
Is
that?
Can
you
foresee
a
potential?
B
As
far
as
like
the
reserves
they
get
called
to
do
you
know
they're
short,
that's,
okay,
I'm
a
fan
of
that.
I
did
it
for
30
years
recently,
retired
myself,
so
I'm
a
fan
of
those
you
know
they're
willing
to
serve
both
in
the
law,
enforcement
and
military.
I'm
good
with
that.
I
think
the
time
is
too
and
there's
laws
that
protect
them
as
service
members
as
well
as
town
employees.
I
didn't
know
if
there
was
a
way
to
like
say
if
you
are
able
to
hire
three
or
four
people
that
are
in
there.
B
B
We've
had
you
know,
we
have
we've
hired
several
officers,
dispatchers
that
are
appear
to
be
from
a
host
of
different
backgrounds.
B
Out
there
said
this,
I
thought
I
didn't
recognize
it
at
least
one
or
two
like
we
have
well.
We
have
one
in
the
academy
right
now.
We
have
kind
of
thinking.
I'm
we've.
B
Of
females,
our
three
female
sergeants
actually
yeah,
one
of
our
captain,
kelly
crandall
retired
last
year
she
was
our
highest
ranked
female
officer,
so
yeah,
you
know
we're
proud
of
that.
Department's
always
had
a
lot
of
when
it.
B
A
C
B
This
is,
I
know,
people
on
the
rtn
are
going
to
ask:
what's
the
percentage
of
females
that
are
on
police
doors
yeah,
you
know,
so
I
don't.
I
don't
know
that
number.
So
if,
if
is
it
on
the
website,
no,
we
don't.
We
don't
define
it.
That
way
I
mean.
Certainly
you
know
I
can.
I
can
go
through
this
right
now
and
tell
you
how
many
female
officers
they
are
simple
plus
we
have.
You
know
I
always
like
to
highlight
that
the
dispatchers
are
part
of
our
team
too
yeah.
B
B
B
Three
females
of
the
nine
dispatchers
that
we
currently
have
we're
also
recruiting
right
now
for
dispatchers.
In
fact
earlier
today
I
did
an
interview
of
a
potential
one
person,
who's
applied
to
be
a
position
as
a
dispatcher.
We
have
smallest
later
this
week,
so
but
as
far
as
diversity
again,
you
know
we
have
african
american
hispanic.
B
Hispanic
doesn't
speak.
Spanish,
so
did
that
come
up,
I
believe
yeah.
You
guys
deal
with
that
like
when
you're
in
a
situation
where
someone
speaks
a
different
language
like
a
lot
of
times.
If
it's
that,
if
we
don't
have
an
officer
in
the
house,
we
can
do
it,
we'll
call
mutually
we'll
ask
another
ceramic
department.
If
you
have
somebody
available
and
quite
often
the
same
thing
happens
with
female
officers,
for
instance,
if
we
don't
have
an
officer
on
duty
that
can
help
pat
down
on
a
female
suspect,
you
know
we'll
ask
someone.
B
A
B
Our
dispatchers
as
well,
but
we
also
have
we-
have.
B
B
You
know
speaking
chinese.
Can
you
help
and
we're
going
to
do?
That
is
the
additional
language
put
as
a
preference
on
your
job
descriptions
at
all
yeah,
not
not
from
the
basic
hiring.
I
mean
we
do
sometimes
assets,
especially
yeah,
that's
kind
of
what
I
was
thinking
with
dispatchers
yeah.
It
may
be
an
asset,
it
wouldn't
be
an
eliminator.
B
And
to
that
point
I
can
also
have
much
like
I
suggested
before
every
one
of
our
dispatchers
specific.
You
know
they
know
their
job
better
than
I
know
which
I'm
glad
for
right.
I
want
them
to
know
their
job
better
than
me,
they're,
the
first
lifeline.
That's.
B
B
B
I
I
wouldn't
have
said
that
so,
if
you
let
us
know
what
you
might
be
interested
in
hearing
more
about
all
right,
so
the
next
week
you
go
to,
I
think
you
said
mission
statement.
Did
anyone
have
time
to
come
up
with
because
I've
been
going
back
and
forth
on
the
internet?
B
Usually
I'm
really
good
about
a
mission
statement.
I
think
I'm
still
trying
to
wrap
my
head
around
exactly
what
our
goals
are
going
to
be
or
what
our
goals
are
going
to
be.
B
B
B
I
mean
we
have
one
old
same
book,
it's
called
citizens,
police
academy
and
what
they
do
is
you
actually
come
in
for
like
three
or
four
hours
like
on
a
saturday
or
whatever
you
can
and
they
take
you
through
this
stuff.
I
mean
they,
you
know,
teach
you
what
they
do
and
you
actually
go
through
some
of
the
training
that
the
officers
go
through.
We've
had
them
in
the
past.
We
haven't
had
them
since
I've
been
cheated,
we
haven't
had
them
in
the
last
couple
years.
B
I
think
one
of
the
female
sergeants
that
you
may
have
met.
I
don't
know
if
it
was
sergeant
bulldog
well.
B
A
child
sergeant
picture
so
she
used
to
so
she
actually
ran
our
last
city's
academy
when
she
was
an
investigator
and
that
was
probably
three
or
four
years.
One
of
the
things
is.
Is
it
really
drives
the
point
home
because
they
have
some
of
these
situations?
Now
it's
not
for
real.
It's
just
simulated
assimilated.
You
know
situation,
you
are
the
officer
and
you
have
to
handle
that
situation
and
it's
like
one
of
those
things.
You
know
somebody's
got
a
knife
on
somebody
or
somebody's.
B
You
know
threatening
someone
or
something,
and
you
have
to
deal
with
it
and
they.
You
know
they
kind
of
teach
you
how
to
do
it,
but
it
puts
you
in
that
thing
and
you
begin
to
realize
jesus.
I
don't
have
a
whole
lot
of
time
to
call
and
say,
hey
chief,
what
do
you
think
I
gotta
do
yeah?
I
know
exactly
what
you're
talking
about.
I
think
counselor
kasiri
can
understand
when.
B
Offer
opinions,
they
can
say
things
about
it,
but
not
really
understand
the
nuances
that
happen
when
you're
in
that
environment
right
and
we
do
have
different
scenario-based
training
officers,
we're
trying
to
incorporate
more
of
that
into
the
policing.
What
we're
pointing
out
is
that
citizens
police
academy
in
the
past,
where
they
do
that,
in
fact,
one
of
our
officers
now
went
through
the
last
six
months
police
academy,
so
it
was
good
recruiting
tool
for
us
as
well,
but
yeah.
We
can
certainly
put
some
of
that
together.
B
It's
like
officer,
I
think,
he's
about
my
size.
What
does
he
do
when
he
meets?
Somebody
like?
I
can't
remember
his
name,
but
maybe
it
was
fit
something,
but
a
huge
guy.
B
A
B
The
rest
of
the
to
the
board,
but
the
importance
of
police,
community
relations
and
resources
for
further
readiness,
but
one
thing
that
struck
me
was
it
talks
about
controversial
uses
of
force
that
other
incidents
can
damage
relationships
between
police
and
their
communities.
In
some
cases,
a
perceived
egregious
act
of
misconduct
by
a
single
officer
in
one
city,
not
only
damages
police
community
relations
locally,
it
can
gain
nationwide
attention
and
reduce
trust
of
the
police.
Generally.
C
B
Had
the
issue,
this
horrible
situation,
that
happened
in
new
haven
connecticut,
obviously
it
happened
in
new
haven
connecticut
and
it
didn't
happen
in
bride,
but
this
is
going
to
affect
our
citizens
here,
because
we're
going
to
watch
it
on
this
on
social
media
on
television,
and
I
think
these
are
times
where
we
can.
When
you
talk
about
outreach
or
we
can
take
these
opportunities
to
have
some
important
community
discussions
about
how
people
are
feeling
you
know
and
having
please
kind
of
get
involved
and
say
we
don't
stand
for
this.
A
B
A
B
Of
roundabout
talking
about
you
know,
we
have
it
under
investigation,
but
I
think,
having
crucial
conversations
is
very
important.
I
think
it's
important
to
the
community
at
large.
So
if
I
don't
think,
if
you
wanted
to
take
a
look
at
this,
but
I
can
email
people
too,
but
it's
something.
I've
been
just
kind
of
researching
and
I
think
the
outreach
part
of
it
will
fall
right
into
that
is
just
kind
of
reach
out
to
the
community
talk
about
having
some
crucial
community
conversations,
yeah
and
maybe
just
have
a
healthy
one.
B
A
B
Write-Offs
right
yeah-
and
I
have
to
get
to
that
because
I
mean
it's
really
nice
to
to
meet
the
authors,
because
you
you
find
out
they're,
just
like
you
and
me
absolutely
yeah
and
to
recognize
that
this
is
happening
in
our
country.
But
what's
happening
maybe
in
chicago
or
the
pavement
may
not
be
happening
right
in
our
town
at
this
moment,
but
to
recognize
it
and
to.
A
B
B
Where
the
police
and
the
citizens
are
doing
something
together,
like
the
police
academy
you're,
both
you
know
doing
something.
Police
are
teaching
you,
but
you
know
like
an
open
house,
you
have
that
or
maybe
it's
a
sponsored
thing
like
one
of
the
things
they
had
an
old
old
saber
with
the
police
department
and
I
don't
know
what
they
call
it.
But
if
you
call
the
police
department,
I
would
say
they
could
probably
tell
you
what
it
was,
but
they
took
a.
B
B
You
know
some
charity,
you
know
police
charity,
you
know,
and
I
mean
I
would
volunteer
to
do
it.
You
know,
but
nobody
knows
me,
I
mean
if
I
met,
can
I
back
up
just
one?
Second,
you
brought
up
something
that
is
it's
a
temporary
issue
here
in
connecticut,
since
we
talked
about
policies
and
procedures.
I
just
want
to
the
incident
you
talked
about
without
I
don't
know
all
the
nuances
of
what
happens
right.
B
You
know
from
who
I've
read
or
seen
on
the
news
what
you
know
what's
believed
to
have
happened,
and
it
is
a
terrible
incident
unfortunate
but
as
it
relates
to
groping,
so
we
did
get
a
call.
You
know
shortly.
B
From
a
media
outlet
and
asking
you
know,
we
do
we,
don't
we
don't
transport
our
pressures
that
way
we
do
put
them
in
a
cruiser
in
the
back
seats
cage.
You
know
it's
actually,
as
you.
B
You
can
only
put
one
person
in
there
and
and
when
our
our
officers
are
very
good
about
this,
if
an
individual
that
we
have
in
custody
claims
of
the
medical
issue.
B
So
those
are
the
two
components
that
again,
I'm
not
speaking
directly
about
that
issue,
because
I
don't
know
enough
about
it.
I'm
not.
You
know
it's
under
investigation,
but
as
it
relates
to
our
department,
you
know
if
an
officer
takes
someone
into
custody,
they
are
transported
in
one
of
our
vehicles.
B
You
know
again,
backseat
is,
if
you
look
there's
a
fiberglass
seat.
That's
installed,
not
the
typical
soft
cushion
that
you
get
in
the
car,
but
it's
to
prevent
people
from
secreting.
B
You
know
maybe
prepare
drug
paraphernalia
or
weapons,
or
things
like
that
are
trying
to
put
it
in
there,
but
when
they're
in
there
their
seat
belted
in
and
again
they're
transported
individually
in
a
car
by
now,
that's
exactly
what
I'm
talking
about
so
say.
You
know
we're
watching
this
on
tv
unfold
and
we're
seeing
this
unfold,
and
so.
B
A
police
cruiser:
do
you
also,
I
notice
on
tv
is
that
they
have
a
new
policy,
possibly
how
they
actually
are
supposed
to
seek
out
people
in
a
certain
way.
It's
all
part
of
our
policy,
I
think
that's,
probably
a
change
for
new
haven
based
on
that
yeah,
because
I
know
there
was
like
I
said:
statewide
is
going
out
to
a
bunch
of
different
departments.
B
C
A
B
Well,
as
the
inspectors
from
the
new
inspector
general's
office,
they
came
to
the
department
met
with
four
of
them.
Chief
inspector
piodero,
I've
been
fortunate
to
know
for
a
number
of
years
awesome
guy
who's,
the
chief
of
police
in
new
town
prior
to
that
served
in
the
bridgeport
police
department.
B
He
is
now
in
charge
of
conducting
those
investigations.
He
works
for
the
for
judge
devlin,
who
is
the
inspector
general
for
the
state
of
connecticut
and
their.
C
B
B
If
there's
an
in
custody,
you
know,
that's
that's
their
purpose.
They
went
over
the
things
that
they're
responsible
for
and
they're
not
responsible
for
it,
and
we
had
ours.
You
know
not
all
of
our
supervisors,
but
all
the
lieutenants,
the
conservative
two
that
were
available,
attended
that
as
well.
It
was
a
great
open
dialogue
and
it
really
kind
of
explained
what
their
job
be
and
again,
there's.
B
I
think
one
of
the
opportunities
that
we
have
in
our
community.
Finally-
and
I
think
you
know
it's
coming
to
fruition
our
community
center-
that
we
didn't
want
to
know
for
so
long-
that's
an
opportunity
there,
like
a
lot
of
cities
and
towns
across
the
country,
will
have
police
basketball
weeks
going
on
when
they
have
once
the
citizens
playing
against.
You
know
the
police
just
to
bring
people
together.
I
think
that
that's
a
good
part
of
our
region
and
just
starting
to
gain
some
trust
and
relations
with
people
that
make
up
trust.
B
You
know
and
really
getting
the
word
out
there
and
advertising
saying
you
know,
would
you
like
to
do
this?
You
know,
so
I
just
think
so
I
think
that's
really
one
of
our
goals
is
to
really
bring
you
know
those,
not
everyone
just
trusts
the
police,
but
there
are
people
that
you
know
may
have
you
know
misconceptions
or
may
have
had
a
bad
experience.
B
B
That
effect
so
definitely
outrage
on
our
mission
statement.
Can
we
think
of
that
keywords
that
we
want.
B
B
A
A
A
B
Crucial
conversations
and
we
need
to
start
having
those
crucial
conversations.
I
think
this
is
an
opportunity
to
really
continue
with
you
know,
having
better
communications.
So
if
you
wanted
to
say
something
yeah,
I'm
sorry,
so
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
some
of
the
events
that
the
town
of
grafton
police
department
does.
A
B
On
and
I
know
that
they're
somewhat
kid-based
this
past
weekend,
heather.
A
B
B
B
Once
this
committee's
out.
There
are
better
known,
you
know
from
the
agency
stuff
posted.
You
know,
complaints
about
the
police,
but
some
people
will
reach
out
to
you
too.
So
I
think
we
should
probably
go
over
the
complaint
policy
and
you
can
let
people
know
how
to
make
a
complaint,
but
if
you're
uncomfortable
with
that
you're
trying
to
get
them
to
do
the
rap,
but
otherwise
you
know
that
you
could
problem.
B
Got
injured
in
the
line
of
duty
when
he
was
actually
made
and
arrested
the
person.
That
was
long
story.
I
should
bring
it
in,
but
he
was
in
noah
the
officer.
The
family
wrote
a
beautiful
letter
about
the
work.
The
officer
didn't
even
know
tonight
or
if
it's
just.
I
can't
tell
you
how
many
letters
I
get
just
about
a
kind
gesture
from
an
officer
that
hey
I
was
broken
down.
I
didn't
know
and
said
the
police
car
showed
up
didn't
help
and
I
didn't
change.
B
I'm
sorry,
I'm
jumping
around
there's
things
that
there's
so
many
things
that
I
can
share
with
you.
But
on
that
note,
with
the
cops
and
comfort
dogs
just
so
this
committee
is
aware,
myself
and
officer
mccollum
attended
the
international
association
of
chiefs
of
police
officer
wellness
forum
back
in
march.
We
did
a
presentation
with
the
new
york
city
police
department.
They
they
modeled
the
program
after
ours.
You
know
broughton's
program
that
heather
mcfaulin
and
jason
before
him
again.
Mcdonald.
B
First
pair,
like
this,
the
new
york
city
police
department
now
has
three
k-9
teams
that
do
exactly
not
exactly
but
they're,
based
on
what
heather
did
and
they're
using
their
employee
assistance
unit.
So
their
detectives
go
out
for
traumas
for
all
kinds
of
things
and
I'm
extremely
proud
of
the
work
that
heather's
done
and
forwarding
that,
because
it
got
visibility
at
that
conference
we
did
a
presentation
and
two
inspectors
from
the
new
york
city,
police
department
and
myself
did
a
presentation
at
that
wellness
conference.
B
I
was
informed
last
week
that
they've
asked
us
to
do
it
for
the
iacp
international
conference,
which
is
being
held
in
october.
I've
been
invited,
along
with
inspector
ken
from
the
new
york
city
police
department,
to
do
a
presentation
on
the
same
program
and
it's
gained
a
lot
of
interest
like
you
said
that
we
had
officers
from
world
from
the
northeast
down
to
maryland
two
detectives
from
new
york
city
police
that
were
here,
one
of
them
was
so
thrilled
because
he
got
to
the
subways.
You
know.
B
So
you
see
that
and
then
you
know
mystic
the
fireworks
this
weekend,
but
we'd
also
come
from
all
over
for
that,
and
we
also
because
of
that
and
some
other
programs-
and
I
did-
I
did-
inform
the
town
manager
of
this,
but
I
was
contacted
by
the
iacp,
which
is
the
international
association
of
chiefs
of
police,
so
their
their
conference
generally
brings
about
two
thousand
officers:
twenty
thousand
officers,
mostly
chiefs
from
across
the
world
from
international
where
they
have
these
conferences,
and
they
asked
us
to
be
one
of
four
departments
that
would
be
highlighted
during
that
reluctantly.
B
B
I
just
wanted
to
jump
off
of
what
the
chief
was
saying.
Many
people
that
don't
have
children
may
not
know
what
officer
mcclellan
does
she
is
completely
just
immersed
in
schools.
I
mean
all
of
the
school
children
that
are
friends
with
my
kids.
I
mean.
Obviously
we
have
you
know
knowledge
of
officer,
mccullen
and
chase,
but
all
the
school
kids
know
officer
chase
he's
having
a
birthday
party
at
the
library
on
wednesday.
So
what
time
is
that?
I'm
not
sure
do
you
know.
B
B
B
But
the
other
part
of
this,
what
you
should
know
is,
as
I
said,
to
people
in
these
the
training
that
they
went
to
the
other
day.
We
we've
realized
that's
the
best
way
for
brian
we
have
chase
and
heather.
She
teaches
there.
She
goes
to
school,
she
does
community
outreach,
does
community
policing,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,.
B
We
initially
got
chase
before
that
mcdonald
was
because
of
a
lot
of
the
trauma
that
officers
and
other
first
responders
encountered
throughout
their
career,
so
that
was
that
dog
is
all
over
our
building.
All
the
time
goes
in
the
dispatch
center
and
just
sits
there,
and
you
know,
without
getting
into
some
of
some
of
the
compelling
stories
that
I
heard
at
the
same
thing.
In
the
morning
we
were
doing
training,
which
is
phenomenal.
B
You
know
this
officers.
Unfortunately,
we've
had
a
lot
of
officer
suicides.
Over
the
last
several
years,
we've
had
officers
and
dispatchers
and
firefighters
and
ems
providers
encounter
some
really
bad
stuff,
so
part
of
their
job
is
also
to
go
to
those
critical
incidents.
Stress,
debriefings
and
heather
has
been
trained
in
that
chase,
augments
that
and
and
sometimes
it's
better,
that
you
get
somebody
that
you're
not
most
familiar
with
somebody
that
you
can
kind
of
shoulder
to
lean
on
that.
B
You
have
similarities
with
and
understand
that
they're
part
of
the
same
line
of
work
as
you,
but
maybe
you
don't,
maybe
not
the
person
you're
standing
next
to
in
the
locker
all
the
time.
So
you
have
a
little
bit
of
more
confidentiality,
so
to
speak,
so
she
does
go.
You
know
in
congress
the
officers
from
other
departments
have
come
here
so
they're
working
closely
with
other
agencies,
particularly
in
this
area.
To
do
peer
support
and
heather
is
critically
important
to
that.
B
B
B
Mission
statement:
yeah:
did
you,
does
anybody
on
scott
or
kathy
and
have
any
suggestions
on
what
they
think
just
have
a
mission
statement?
Well.
B
A
A
B
Yeah,
can
you
elaborate
on
that?
Please.
C
Well,
I
I
think
there
has
been
an
antagonistic
kind
of
sentiment
built
up
in
the
civilian
population
against
law
enforcement.
C
So
if
we
could
somehow-
and
I
think
we've
been
talking
about
this-
all
along
is-
is
somehow
get
the
police
officers
in
a
better
light
to
the
overall
civilian
base,
where
the
civilians
would
be
more
willing
to
cooperate
with
police.
C
I
think
you
know
you
hear
a
lot
of
instances
right
now
where
they
don't
want
to
cooperate
with
police,
because
they're
the
police
are
seen
as
the
bad
guy,
and
I
think
that-
and
that
may
not
happen
here
in
groton,
but
it
certainly
happens
elsewhere,
and
I
think
you
know
changing
that.
Rhetoric
would
be
a
good
step.
A
Oh,
no,
I'm
sorry,
I
I
just
thought
the
community
engagement
was,
you
know
important
for
us
to
add,
but
they
already
touched
upon
that
you
know.
I
think
the
positive
community
interactions
should
be
one
of
our
main
goals.
B
So
it's
our
goal
tonight
to
try
to
really
come
up
with
a
mission
statement.
B
B
But
is
we
need
more
interface
between
officers
and
the
citizens?
What
I
could
offer
too,
if
the
chair
is
okay
with
this?
Yes,
she
wants
to
have
jeannie
vasiloski.
The
administrative
assistant
at
the
police
department
appears.
If,
if
there's
correspondence,
maybe
somebody
says
hey,
I
came
up
with
this
my
own
version
of
the
mission
statement
for
for
discussion.
If
they
send
it
to
her
email
address,
you
can
kind
of
put
them
all
together.
She
does
them.
She
does
the
agenda
as
well
as
the
the
meeting
minutes.
B
She
can
she
can
kind
of
set
up
a
separate
file,
and
I
would
also
encourage
if,
if
there
are
things
that
need
to
go
on
an
agenda,
if
you
say
hey,
there
are
things
that
are
important,
that
I
think
we
should
talk
about,
send
that
in
advance
that
way
she
can
put
it
on
the
agenda
and
she
can
communicate
with
you
directly
if
you're,
okay
with
that
and
and
then
you
guys,
can
work
together
on
making
sure
those
things.
B
Yeah,
I
think
I'm
just
speaking
for
myself.
My
feedbacks
on
that
is
that
I
feel
like
the
reason
I
stepped
up
to
want
to
do.
This
is
because
I've
already
been
working
in
the
community
with
people
who
are
struggling
with
addiction
and
a
lot
of
times
those
individuals
are
arrested
and
put
in
jail,
and
I
my
phone
rings
daily
from
the
prisons.
B
B
B
B
And
so
I
think
that
you
know
if
that
happens,
that's
great,
but
I'm
so
happy.
We
do
have
a
social
worker,
because
I
think
this
is
very
important.
So
yeah
I
mean
there's
going
to
be
times
where
I'm
working
with
that
individual
and
I've
gone
to
the
I've
gone
to
court.
To
try
to
to
stand
up
to
that,
you
know
stand
up
for
them
to
be
their
their
support
system.
They
don't
have
anybody
else.
They've
lost
everybody
else,
so
I
just
want
to
say
yes,
I
I
see
both
sides
of
it.
B
I'm
clearly
believe
that
we
need
to
know
like
we
might
have
somebody
that
has
a
really
bad
experience.
You
know
in
our
in
the
area
of
addiction,
but
we
also
had
a
parent
that
has
come
up
here
to
thank
please,
for
you,
know,
narcan
and
their
daughter
and
giving
them
the
second
chance
of
life.
So
I've
got
to
see
both
sides
of
it.
So
yeah,
it's
very
important
to
highlight
both
for
sure
I
did
see
maureen
here
sometime.
B
Public
safety
community
outreach
specialist,
but
actually
I
proved
her
to
go
she's
starting
this
month
attending
the
recovery
coach
academy,
which
is
intensive,
trainings
yeah.
She
is
going
to
be
she's
attending
that
this,
like
I
said,
I
believe
it
could
be
again
last
week.
Nope
it
begins
later.
It
begins
on
the
25th,
so
she's
attending
that.
So
so
what.
B
Community
outreach
club
specialist
again
community
outreach.
I
spell
I
spend
probably
two
hours
speaking
with
her
very
impressive
individual,
a
great
asset
to
this
department,
and
I
think
it's
going
to
do
great
for
our
community
just
her
long
coming
on.
It's
just
an
amazing
show,
she's
engaged
in
a
lot
of
issues
that
have
come
up
before
you
know
to
the
town,
manager
or
town
councils,
or
you
know,
without
getting
into
you
know.
B
B
So
it
says
other
business
open.
A
B
Mean
other
business
I
just
kind
of
wanted
to
mention
is
you
know?
I
do
believe
that
these
write-alongs
and
coming
into
the
police
to
actually
have
a
conversation,
and
they
are
people
that
are
on
this
committee.
I
think
that's.
We
need
to
make
that
a
priority,
so
I
will
be
calling
and
doing
my
right
along
so
if
anybody
else
has
the
ability
to
do
that,
I
just
encourage
us
to
do
that.
So
we
know
exactly
you
know,
but
we
just
have
to
have
this
information
because
education
is
power.
I
always
say
that.
A
B
B
Trying
to
address,
but
I
think
a
lot
of
the
there
are
a
lot
of
good
things
that
happen
right
and
they
don't
get
highlighted.
You
know
scott
erickson
mentioned
that
too
trying
to
get
some
of
that
word
out
having
those
collaborative
conversations,
but
sometimes
things
do
happen
right
there.
You
know
we
one
of
the
one
of
the
questions
that
came
up.
Is
you
know,
police
accountability?
How
do
we?
How
do
we
show
it?
How
do
we
demonstrate
you
know?
Complaint
comes
into
the
police
department.
How
does
that
happen?
B
We
can
discuss
that,
but
I
know
what
we've
done
is
try
to
be
as
transparent
as
possible
as
we
publish
that
stuff
civilian
complaints
come
in,
we've
been
publishing,
it
we've
also
published
our
use.
Of
course,
there
are
requirements
that
we
have
to
send
certain
data
to
the
state
to
the
office
of
policy
and
management,
and
maybe
it
might
be
helpful
before
that
goes
further.
We
bring
that
stuff
to
you
guys.
B
I
think
particularly
implicit
bias
course
is
very
important
for
us
to
just
learn
some
of
these.
You
know
the
important
things
that
we
should
be
getting
yeah.
Is
that
right
for
your
website?
I
believe
it.
B
Again,
in
the
interest
of
transparency
and
understanding
that
you
know
there
are
two
sides
of
the
story.
Sometimes
we
only
get
one
side
story
right
when
you're
hearing
it
from
you
know
a
person
who
said
hey,
I
made
a
complaint
against
police.
This
is
what
happened.
You're
only
getting
that
side
of
the
story.
You
don't
know
what
investigating.
What's
going
into
it,
you
know
what
maybe
also
was
wrong,
or
maybe
they
weren't
yeah.
B
Everybody's
aware
of
what
happened
in
new
york
city
with
that
poor
guy
in
that
bodega
right
I
mean
I
was
watching
the
video-
and
I
said
you
know
he's.
If
he
hadn't
defended
himself,
he
might
be
the
one
who's
dead
yeah
there
was.
There
was
a
matter
that
happened
here
many
you
know
not
many
years
ago
a
few
years
ago,
but
it
was
captured
on
body
more
camera
and
it
did
set
the
record
straight
and.
B
B
You
have
the
truth
right
there.
Sometimes
people
civilians
are
at
the.
B
And
this
is
what
really
happened.
You
know
they
jump
to
the
corner.
You
know
they're
guilty,
but
then,
when
it
comes
back
that
they're,
not
you
don't
see
that
in
paper
and
say:
oh
geez,
you
know,
I
guess
we
jump.
You
know
the
gun
too
soon
I'll
give
you
that's
the
problem.
Yeah
I'll,
give
you
another
very
brief.
Example:
deputy
chief
received
a
complaint
from
from
citizens
complaint
about
a
traffic
stop
and
I'm
summarizing
it.
This
again
was
a
couple
years
ago.
B
It's
not
characteristic
of
everyone,
but
this
is
how
this
one
played
out.
It
was
the
husband
of
a
lady.
This
this
officer
was
a
retired
police
officer.
Another
agency
made
a
complaint
saying:
hey
your
officer.
Certain
allegations
were
made
about
the
conduct
of
that
traffic.
Stop
yep,
okay,
I'll,
take
it!
No
problem
looked
into
it
investigated,
as
required
by
policy,
not
our
policy,
the
state
policy,
all
the
steps
reviewed,
the
body-worn
camera
footage
and
what
was
reported
was
not
in
fact,
what
happened.
B
B
You
know
sometimes,
as
I
think
you
may
have
pointed
out,
your
perception
may
not
be
you
know
in
know,
and
that
goes
to
speak
to
what
you
were
talking
about
about
that
training.
You
know
intense,
uncertain,
rapidly,
evolving
conditions.
You
know
human
senses,
you
end
up
getting
auditory
exclusion.
You
get
tunnel
vision,
things
change
you're
under
as
stress
yeah,
so
it's
a
lifesaver.
A
B
I
was
treated
fantastically,
I
couldn't
ask
for
a
better
officer
and
if
you
go
to
the
main
police
site,
the
complaint
form
is
very
prominent
on
there,
so
that
one
really
sticks
out.
So
we
got
to
have
the
live,
long
form
yeah
in
compliments.
B
You
know
what
I'll
do
too
is
trying
to
write
some
tasks.
B
The
deputy
chief
is
that
he
he's
also
our
internal
affairs
chief,
so
he
records
each
of
the
complaints
that
comes
in,
but
he
also
we
under
a
c
number,
which
is
complaint,
but
we
also
have
p
numbers
which
are
crazed.
So
if
there's
a
you
know,
office
or
so,
and
so
you
know
help
me
locate.
My
complaints
come
on.
Oh
yeah
boom.
B
B
Police
officers
we're
all
human
and
there's
going
to
be
a
time
where
somebody
could
make
a
mistake
or
do
the
wrong
thing.
We
want
to
make
sure
there's
transparency.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
people
feel
that
we're
not
one
way
or
the
other.
We
are
pro
community
making
sure
that
we
are
taking
care
of
people
in
our
towns.
Listening
being
you
know,
being
very
you
know,
what's
the
word
I
want
to
use.
B
So
I
want
to
make
sure
that
people
know
they
can
come
to
us
because
we're
not
going
to
just
say:
oh
we're
pro
police,
we
used
to
do
everything
right.
We
know
that
across
our
country
things
have
gone
wrong.
I
live
in
this
town
because
I
truly
feel
safe
in
our
town.
I
had
you
know
a
horrible
situation
that
happened
to
our
family.
A
B
We
were
able
to,
you,
know,
see
kind
of
how
it
unfolds,
how
the
investigation-
it's
just,
how
everything
just
starts
to
finish,
how
it
all
went
down
so
and
I'm
very
grateful
for
the
efforts
of
the
brockton
police
department.
So
but
that
being
said,
I'm
not
just
because
I
have
this
unbelievable
experience,
which
I
think
the
officers
that
heather
on
a
daily
basis.
When
I
fear
that
she,
you
know
she
did
a
lot
for
our
family
during
time.
But
I
also
know
things
can
go
wrong.
So
I.
B
To
be
here
for
people
listen
to
and
that
I
feel
comfortable
enough
that
I
can
come
to
the
chief
or
come
and
say
this
is
a
complaint,
or
this
is
a
problem,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
people
know
that
all
right,
so
we
were
trying
to.
Is
there
any
other
discussion
before
making
motion
to
adjourn
they're
trying
to
do
an
hour?
Is
there
anything
that
you
want
to
add
to
or-
and
I
think
that
you
know
having
the
correspondence
using
gene
between
make
sure
we
all
have
our
email.
A
B
Not
that's
the
week
of
september
11th,
so
that's
a
tough
week.
It
may
be
for
others
as
well.
B
B
It
is
currently
6
20
right.
Yes,
