C
A
Here
we
do
have
a
quorum
for
the
time
being,
please
mark
assemblywoman,
krasner
absent
if
and
when
she
arrives,
we'll
change
that
designation
good
morning
committee
members
and
good
morning
to
everyone
watching
either
on
the
legislature's
website
or
on
youtube.
This
morning.
I
want
to
welcome
you
to
the
second
week
of
the
nevada
legislature
and
obviously
the
first
monday
of
this
week,
our
assembly
judiciary
committee
hearing.
I
hope
everyone
had
a
really
great
weekend
and
we're
going
to
kick
off
here
pretty
soon
before
we
do
that.
A
I
just
want
to
go
over
a
couple
of
housekeeping
rules.
These
will
come
failure
and
mainly
they're
for
members
of
the
committee.
But
members
if
you
can
remember
to
mute
yourself
if
you're,
not
speaking,
that,
helps
with
the
audio
feedback
and
then,
of
course,
for
members
and
for
presenters
and
members
of
the
public.
We
have
to
make
sure
we
treat
each
other
with
respect
and
make
sure
that
we're
doing
justice
to
this
legislative
process.
A
So
please
be
courteous
and
respectful
with
one
another,
even
if
you
might
not
agree
on
issues
or
positions
and
then,
finally
for
those
watching
us,
as
you
can
see,
we
are
in
virtual
land
and
many
of
us
are
working
on
multiple
devices
at
one
time
to
try
to
participate
and
zoom
and
also
look
at
the
exhibits.
So
if
you
see
members
looking
away
or
looking
at
other
devices,
please
don't
see
that
as
a
sign
of
disrespect
or
inattention,
we're
simply
trying
to
manage
this
new
virtual
world
that
we
are
living
in
for
the
time
being.
A
So
I
think
that's
it
for
the
housekeeping
items.
Members,
members
of
the
public
as
you'll
see,
we
have
four
different
presentations
on
the
agenda
today,
which
is
why
we're
starting
at
eight
o'clock
the
day
after
the
super
bowl.
So
please
excuse
me
for
that.
Hopefully,
some
better
planning
in
the
future,
but
just
so
you
have
a
sense
of
how
things
are
going.
A
So
for
those
of
you
presenting,
I
know
that
you're
all
on
the
zoom
already,
but
if
you're
not
going
to
be
presenting
for
a
while,
you
know
feel
free
to
just
sort
of
monitor
where
things
are
at
and
we'll
we'll
tune
in
and
then
committee
members.
I've
asked
our
presenters
as
always
to
keep
their
presentations
relatively
short.
So
we
have
time
for
any
questions
from
members,
so
we'll
let
them
get
through
the
presentation
and
then,
as
always
I'll
open
it
up
for
questions
from
members
of
the
committee.
A
So
at
this
time
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
go
to
our
presentation
from
the
eighth
judicial
judicial
district
court
of
nevada
and
before
I
introduce
our
presenter,
I
wanted
to
remind
members
of
the
public
and
members
that
you
can
find
the
presentation
itself
on
nellis,
which
is
linked
on
the
legislature's
website.
So
you
can
feel
free
to
follow
along
there.
You
can
download
the
presentation
for
future
needs,
but
at
this
time
I
want
to
welcome
to
the
committee
chief
justice.
Excuse
me,
chief
judge.
The
honorable,
linda
bell,
judge
bell.
A
C
Thank
you
good
morning,
terry
yeager
and
members
of
the
committee.
My
name
is
linda
bell
and
I
am
honored
to
serve
as
the
chief
judge
of
the
judicial
district
court.
I've
been
the
chief
for
about
two
and
a
half
years,
so
covet's
certainly
been
an
opportunity
for
a
lot
of
learning
and
I
am
going
to
I'm
running
the
powerpoint
myself
this
morning.
So
please
keep
your
fingers
crossed
for
me.
While
I
try
to
make
this.
C
C
C
Most
recently,
thanks
to
the
legislature
passing
ab43
last
session,
the
court
added
six
new
family
division
departments
for
a
total
of
26
judicial
departments
in
our
family
division,
which
is
an
incredibly
busy
division
of
our
court
and
then,
after
this
past
election,
due
to
retirements
in
the
additional
judicial
positions,
we
welcomed
an
unprecedented
22
new
judges
to
the
bench
this
january,
which
is
about
a
third
of
our
court.
So
that's
been
a
very
big
change
for
us.
C
We
are
the
busiest
court
in
the
state
and
in
fact
one
of
the
busiest
courts
in
the
country
we
had
69
878
new
filings
in
2020,
the
high
volume
of
those
cases
and,
and
always
the
fiscal
pressure
that
everybody
is
facing,
require
us
to
be
really
as
efficient
as
we
can
and
innovative
to
manage.
All
of
those
cases
to
serve
the
community
of
clark,
county
archers.
C
C
We
hear
felonies
and
gross
misdemeanors
in
criminal
cases.
We
hear
divorce
child
welfare,
juvenile
delinquency,
appeals
from
justice
and
municipal
courts,
guardianship
cases
probate.
We
have
a
wide
variety
of
cases.
C
Judges,
gonzales,
denton
williams
and
elf
serve
as
business
court
judges
to
preside
over
business
matters,
which
include
cases
arising
from
the
uniform
commercial
code,
business,
torts
and
cases
rising
from
the
purchase
or
sale
of
a
business.
So
we
have
judges
with
particular
expertise
in
that
area
to
better
serve
the
business
community
of
clark
county.
C
We
also
have
a
dedicated
team
of
judges
who
preside
over
cases
where
a
person
has
been
charged
with
homicide
that
team
centralizes
the
management
of
homicide
cases.
We
were
having
a
really
significant
backlog
and
judge.
Now,
justice
herndon
created
the
homicide
team
to
help
efficiently
and
timely
dispose
of
the
cases
and
also
to
ensure
that
we
have
experienced
judges
handling
the
most
difficult
cases.
C
C
We
now
have
26
judicial
departments
in
our
family
division
and
again
I
cannot
thank
the
legislature
enough
for
the
passage
of
ab43
that
added
six
new
family
division
departments,
much
much
needed
judicial
resources
for
this
division
of
the
26
departments.
Five
departments
are
dedicated
to
juvenile
dependency.
C
We
have
several
facilities.
The
regional
justice
center
is
the
home
to
most
of
our
civil
criminal
departments
and
seven
of
our
family
departments.
As
we
have
outgrown
our
family
court
campus,
a
portion
of
our
civil
division
is
located
at
the
phoenix
building
across
from
the
rjc
and
the
remaining
family
court
and
juvenile
departments
are
located
at
a
campus
on
bonanza
and
pecos.
C
C
C
We
are
primarily
funded
through
general
fund
dollars
from
clark
county.
The
nevada
supreme
court
court
in
mountain
view
versus
imperial
commercial
has
given
a
modern
day,
interpretation
to
nrs
3.100
the
funding
statute
and
determined
that
the
counties
have
a
responsibility
to
provide
adequate
courtroom
facilities
and
support
staff
for
the
district
courts.
C
We
have
for
efficiencies
and
cost
savings
and
interlocal
agreement
with
clark
county
which
allows
us
to
use
certain
county
resources
and
departments
for
operational
support
which
benefits,
clark,
county
taxpayers.
So
we're
not
repeating
functions.
C
Our
funding
is
approximately
seventy
five
million,
seven
hundred
thirty
three
thousand
two
hundred
and
forty
dollars
for
fiscal
year,
twenty,
the
majority
of
which,
which
comes
from
the
general
fund.
As
you
can
see
from
this
slide,
the
district
court
special
filing
fees
is
a
revenue
stream
that
was
established
by
the
legislature
in
2009
to
fund
nine
additional
judicial
departments
in
clark
county,
and
we
also
have
a
number
of
specialty
courts.
That
funding
has
seen
a
dramatic
improvement
thanks
to
legislative
allocations
of
nearly
four
million
dollars
from
the
state
general
funds.
C
And
if
you
can
see
the
for
our
specialty
courts
about
a
little
more
than
a
half
comes
through
the
aoc
funding
for
a
little
over
4
million
dollars,
4.4
million
dollars,
we
receive
about
3.4
million
dollars
in
grants,
and
then
we
have
client
fees
and
sapta
funding
for
a
total
of
eight
eight
million
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
roughly
for
the
specialty
courts.
C
This
slide
shows
our
funding
over
the
last
five
years
in
fiscal
year
16
there
were
no
cola
increases,
which
explains
why
we
were
not.
The
coalition
increases
were
not
accounted
for.
So
that
explains
why
we
were
not
as
under
budget.
We
try
to
be
fiscally
responsible
and
do
the
best
we
can
with
the
resources
that
we
have.
C
C
C
C
To
give
you
some
perspective
on
that,
the
last
time
I
presented
to
this
committee,
there
had
been
130
criminal
jury
trials
and
11
bench
trials,
so
the
pandemic
has
dramatically
slowed
the
pace
of
jury
trials
in
our
courts,
and
this
shows
just
the
trends
of
criminal
case
filings.
We
were
slightly
down
last
year.
I
think
also
due
to
coronavirus.
C
In
our
civil
cases,
you
can
see,
we've
made
great
improvement
in
our
dispositions.
Last
year
we
had
27
jury
trials,
97
bench
trials,
and
then
we
have
two
diversionary
programs
that
are
used
in
cases
valued
under
fifty
thousand
dollars.
Our
short
trial
program,
which
uses
a
smaller
jury
and
trials,
have
to
be
done
in
one
day
in
that
program
and
they
handled
19
trials
and
to
again
give
you
perspective
on
these
statistics.
C
Covid
we
have
specialized
judges
to
hear
complex
business
and
construction
defect
cases.
Medical
malpractice
cases
are
also
some
of
the
most
complex
cases
handled
by
our
civil
judges.
We
have
specialized
judges
to
hear
probate,
adult
and
minor
guardianship
cases
and
those
judges
are
from
both
our
civil
and
family
divisions.
C
C
C
C
The
judicial
district
court
operates
12
specialty
court
programs.
The
lima
diversion
program
is
a
new
pilot
project
with
the
las
vegas
metropolitan
police
department.
The
court
in
terms
of
judicial
officers
are
not
really
involved
in
that
program.
We
help
provide
some
grant
support
and
a
person
to
assist
metro
to
provide
some
intervention
services
on
the
front
end
for
people
who
have
mental
health
and
addiction
issues.
C
C
A
requirement
for
the
program
is
that
the
person
have
a
chemical
dependency
issue
and
be
willing
to
engage
in
treatment
services
and
that's
a
great
example
of
one
of
our
community
partnerships.
We've
really
enjoyed
the
opportunity
to
work
with
other
agencies
in
our
community
because
I
think
we
can
always
do
great
things
when
we
work
together.
C
C
Since
its
inception
in
1980,
the
casa
program
has
trained
and
sworn
in
more
than
fifteen
hundred
casa
volunteers
and
they've
represented
more
than
five
thousand
eight
hundred
children.
That
program
be
began
with
the
help
of
the
late
district
court
judge
john
mendoza
in
the
junior
league
of
las
vegas.
C
C
So
the
day
after
governor
sislek
declared
a
state
of
emergency,
the
district
court
began
transitioning
to
hear
matters
through
alternative
means.
Covid's
been
really
the
focus
of
a
lot
of
our
energy
this
past
year,
as
it
has
everyone
else,
parties
and
their
attorneys
can
appear
through
video
or
by
phone
in
court.
Using
a
blue
jeans,
video
conferencing
platform,
the
courthouse
never
completely
closed.
At
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic.
We
focused
on
essential
case
types
for
that.
C
Everyone
entering
the
court
facility
is
required
to
wear
a
face
covering
and
if
they
do
not
have
one,
we
provide
them.
We've
installed
plastic
window
partitions
in
courtrooms
and
near
entrances
to
protect
court
employees
and
the
public
we've
established
social
distancing
practices
like
limiting
the
number
of
people
to
an
elevator,
placing
decals
on
the
floor
to
spacey
people
six
feet
apart,
where
we
have
places
where
there
are
lines
and
alleviating
the
crowding
in
the
rjc.
C
We
worked
with
our
partners
at
clark
county
to
reconfigure
and
rebuild
our
courtrooms.
You
can
see
here
the
during
construction
and
after
construction
to
allow
for
social
distancing
of
the
jurors.
If
you
can
see
in
the
bottom
photo
that
the
jury
box
takes
up
the
vast
majority
of
the
courtroom
and
social
distancing,
the
jurors
parties
and
their
attorneys
we've
removed
barriers
to
create
more
open
space,
installed,
plexiglas
dividers
and
work
to
enhance
the
air
quality
and
air
disinfection
within
the
courthouse.
C
Deputy
marshals
ensure
that
court
staff,
jurors
attorneys
and
parties
answer
the
cdc,
approved
coded
19
screening
questions
and
complete
temperature
checks
daily,
and
then
we
provide
public
access
which
is
required
for
trial,
open
trial
proceedings.
So
we
have
live
streams
of
the
trial
on
our
website
through
youtube.
C
We
have
a
rapid
testing
site
that
umc
has
set
up
with
us
in
the
events
that
an
individual
reports
cover
19
symptoms
during
a
trial,
and
if
there
is
a
positive
test
result,
then
the
trial
suspended
the
trial
would
be
suspended
and
then
we
would
work
with
public
health
officials
on
contact
tracing
and
to
determine
whether
it's
safe
to
resume
the
trial.
C
We
did
a
number
of
tr
well,
at
least
we
started
a
number
of
trials
in
the
fall
before
the
governor
started.
The
pause
and
we've
just
restarted
trials
again
recently,
and
in
fact
our
first
jury
trial
since
restarting,
is
going
on
today.
It
started
wednesday
and
is
ongoing.
C
Jury
selection
takes
place
in
our
jury
assembly
room
now,
instead
of
the
courtroom,
because
we
don't
have
a
courtroom
large
enough
to
maintain
social
distancing
for
the
jurors,
any
prospective
jurors
who
are
experiencing
symptoms
or
have
been
exposed
or
asked
not
to
report
and
will
be
rescheduled
and
then
prospective
jurors,
who
are
considered
high
risk
or
have
underlying
medical
conditions,
are
also
eligible
for
deferral
of
jury.
Jury
duty.
C
We
have
a
new
standard,
supplemental
questionnaire
that
we
obtained
some
of
that
information
and
tried
to
pre-screen,
select
prospective
jurors
for
issues
related
to
hardship
and
covet
19
to
make
sure
that
the
jurors
can
serve
safely.
C
With
the
assistance
of
rit
department,
we've
developed
an
application
that
allows
litigants
to
email
a
proposed
order
to
the
judicial
department
and
if
it
conforms
to
the
judge's
decision,
the
judge
can
electronically
sign
and
file
the
order,
and
then
it
electronically
serves
the
order
to
those
who
have
registered
for
electronic
service
with
the
court's
filing
system.
So
this
has
really
transformed
the
way
the
court
conducts
business
and
allows
litigants
to
more
quickly
receive
the
the
court's
decision.
C
We
do
have
some
security
measures
in
place
like
each
when
we
do
the
signature,
there's
a
unique
code,
that's
placed
on
the
document,
so
we
can
tell
that
that
was
the
document
signed
by
the
judge.
It
also
allows
us
to
capture
some
information
that
we
haven't
before.
Sometimes
it's
a
little
hard
as
a
court
for
us
to
show
what
we're
doing
when
we're
not
in
court,
and
this
app
keeps
track
of
all
of
the
numbers
of
orders.
We
sign
in
the
second
half
of
2020,
with
not
all
of
our
departments
using
this
app.
C
We
rolled
it
out
quite
slowly
and
we
had
a
few
people
retiring
that
didn't
participate,
but
even
with
that,
we
processed
58
736
orders
in
the
second
half
of
2020.
C
Along
with
developing
this
proposed
order
up,
we
introduced
a
new
process
to
handle
search
warrants
electronically,
so
law
enforcement
agencies
in
clark
county
can
email,
email
warrants
to
the
judge,
that's
on
duty,
and
then
they
call
they
call
and
they're
sworn
in.
The
judge,
reviews
the
warrant
and
then
is
able
to
assign
it
to
sign
it
electronically
and
return
it
to
the
officer.
C
We
estimate
this
saves
about
two
hours
per
warrant
for
the
officers
and
in
2020
we
processed
four
thousand
and
four
electronic
search
warrants.
So
that's
been
another
wonderful
community
partnership.
For
us.
We
appreciate
the
cooperation
of
law
enforcement
to
keep
everybody
safe
and
also
just
to
help
save.
C
Some
time
too,
we
created
a
one-shot
stop
at
our
family
campus
by
merging
the
family
law
self
help
center
and
the
tpo
offices,
and
when
the
pandemic
had,
then
we
created
an
online
guided
interview
for
domestic
violence,
tpo
applications
to
help
people
file
their
application
online
with
the
court.
Last
year
we
completed
2401
domestic
violence,
tpo
interviews
online.
A
A
I'm
on
those
list
serves-
and
I
just
remember
a
series
of
orders
that
came
out
right
after
coven
19
hit
and-
and
I
thought
you
know
that
what
the
district
court
did
was
a
model.
I
think
for
the
rest
of
the
state
and
obviously
there
were
some
challenges
there,
but
just
want
to
commend
you
for
being
flexible
and
making
sure
folks
in
the
building
were
staying
safe.
A
I
have
a
couple
of
questions,
but
I
like
to
go
to
some
of
my
committee
members
first.
So
at
the
moment
we'll
have
the
order.
As
let
me
see
here,
the
order
will
be
assembly,
woman,
billbray,
axelrod,
assemblywoman,
win,
assemblywoman,
hanson
and
assemblywoman
kasama
and
then
we'll
take
additional
ones
after
that.
So
please
go
ahead.
Assemblywoman,
bilbray,
axelrod.
B
Thank
you
chair.
I
I
actually
had
two
questions.
I
think
one's
really
easy,
so
let
me
start
with
the
first
one
and
I
thank
you
for
being
here.
First
of
all,
judge
bell.
I
really
appreciate
it
and
I
echo
the
the
chairs
remarks
about
you
guys
doing
it
just
a
fabulous
job.
As
someone
who
is
new
to
the
committee,
I
just
if
you
could
explain
this
to
me
because
I'm
sure
I'm
just
not
getting
it
slide.
13,
14
and
15.
B
C
When
you
look
at
this,
the
blue
is
how
many
new
cases
were
filed.
The
red
is
how
many
cases
were
closed,
so
we
went
back
through
and
closed
more
cases
than
were
opens,
and
then
the
green
is
how
many
cases
are
left
at
this
point.
B
C
It's
a
wide
variety,
so
this
covers
all
of
our
criminal
cases.
We
have
people
who
are
pre-trial
on
recognizance
release
or
release
with
house
arrest
released
on
bail.
We
have
people
who
are
in
custody
at
the
clark
county
detention
center,
either
waiting
trial
or
waiting
sentencing.
So
it
encompasses
the
whole
gamut
of
potential
options
in
a
criminal
case.
B
Okay,
thank
you.
May
I
ask
one
real
quick
question?
Yes,
please
go
ahead.
Okay.
I
had
heard
that
at
one
point
you
guys
were
using
the
convention
center.
Is
that
happening
or
did
that
not
happen.
C
That
that
is
happening
we
obtained
some
space.
The
convention
center
has
been
wonderful
working
with
us
and
we
obtained
some
space
rented
some
space
from
them
to
conduct
a
civil,
a
very
large
civil
bench
trial
that
needed
to
go
forward,
and
we
still
have
that
space.
We're
trying
to
use
that
space
to
conduct
civil
jury
trials
as
we've
set
trials
there
they
have
negotiated.
We
definitely
see
that
cases
resolve
when
when
trials
are
available,
so
it's
been
very
helpful.
We
do
anticipate
having
some
cases
go
forward
this
month
and
next
month
in
that
space.
A
B
Good
morning
and
thank
you,
judge
bell
for
being
present
today
to
answer
some
of
our
questions
and
not
to
sound
like
a
broken
record,
but
I
would
did
the
comments
of
the
previous
speakers,
including
our
chair,
about
the
efforts
that
have
been
made,
at
least
on
behalf
of
the
district
court.
B
Has
there
been
any
kind
of
coordinated
effort
for
those
members
that
do
not
know
like
in
southern
nevada?
The
regional
justice
center
is
home
to
not
only
the
eighth
judicial
district
court,
but
also
the
las
vegas
justice
court
and
the
las
vegas
municipal
court.
Obviously
those
are
three
jurisdictions,
and
I
know
that
sometimes
there's
some
fighting
within
those
and
between
those
kingdoms
has
there
been
any
kind
of
coordinated
effort
between
those
three
jurisdictions
to
have
like
a
consistent
practice.
B
You
know
within
the
building
itself
I
mean
I
know,
but
I
would
love
for
you
to
inform
our
members
of
any
kind
of
coordinated
effort.
There
is
to
be
consistent
among
the
three
jurisdictions
that
are
in
that
building.
C
C
C
Other
courts
did
not
make
the
same
decision
to
handle
cases
virtually
everything
closed
down
for
that
phase
one.
But
then,
after
that
there
were
some
in-person
appearances
in
other
courts,
and
lawyers
didn't
necessarily
have
the
option
to
appear
virtually
the
same
option
that
they
did
in
district
court,
which
is
a
matter
of
concern
that
we
continue
to
discuss
with
the
other
occupants
of
the
building.
B
C
Is
sure
so
we
have
an
adult
drug
court
and
I
think
by
this
point,
people
are
pretty
familiar
with
drug
court
and
we
have
a
mental
health
court.
Again,
that's
one
of
the
more
familiar
specialty
courts,
but
what
we
found
is
there's
a
place
where
there's
a
gap
when
we
have
people
who
are
too
mentally
ill
to
really
participate
in
the
adult
drug
quarter.
They
struggle
participating
in
the
adult
drug
court,
but
their.
C
Their
substance,
abuse
disorder
is
more
than
what
we
typically
see
in
the
mental
health
court
and
so
to
try
to
fill
that
gap.
Judge
jaeger
started
a
co-occurring
court
that
handles
cases
where
they're
kind
of
in
between
those
two
specialty
courts
where
we're
not
able
to
really
meet
the
needs
of
that
population
with
either
of
the
other
one.
B
Well,
thank
you
very
much
appreciate
that
and
then
back
to
slide
13
and
talk
a
little
bit
where
my
colleague
assemblywoman
bilbray
axelrod.
That
was
the
slide
that
she
had
mentioned
so
the
jury,
the
jury
trials.
That
was
where
my
questions
are
and
lie.
If
I'm
understanding
the
math
right
so
we've
been,
the
shutdown
occurred
almost
11
months
ago,
essentially
on
and
off
in
march,
and
then
you
did.
B
Your
pro
falls,
which
we
greatly
appreciate
that
the
struggle
that
that
I'm
sure
has
been
it
sounds
like
maybe
three
months
is
about
all
that
you've
had
available
to
try
to
do
any
of
these
jury
trials.
Is
that
math
or
wrap
right?
You
said
there
was
the
pause
and
now
you've
got
a
trial
going
now.
Is
that
about
right.
C
That
is
about
right.
We
were
up
and
going
for
a
few
months
and
then
we
hit
the
pause
and
then
stopped
again
because
we
wanted
to
make
sure
we
felt
comfortable,
bringing
jurors
and
we
restarted
at
the
beginning
of
the
month
and
we've
had
trials
negotiated,
and
now
we
have
a
case.
That's
that's
going
during
that
time.
C
We,
though,
still
have
had
cases
resolve
the
most
of
our
cases
in
in
our
system,
and
I
don't
think
that
we're
unique
in
any
way
resolve
through
guilty
plea,
and
so
we
have
continued
to
process
cases
where
somebody
is
pleading
guilty.
We
also
have
started
a
criminal
settlement
conference
program
over
the
last
couple.
We
started
that
well
before
covid,
but
we
have
continued
to
do
criminal
settlement
conferences
to
try
to
resolve
cases
that
way,
but
we
do
have
a
backlog
of
criminal
jury
trials,
which
is
probably
somewhere
around
three
or
four
hundred
cases.
B
And
share,
if
I
could
follow
up,
please
go
ahead,
so
judge
bell,
so
obviously
a
pretty
large
backlog
compared
to
a
non-pandemic.
I
would
assume
my
concern
is
so
what?
Where
are
those
plaintiffs,
or
I
mean
I'm
sorry
defendants
at
this
point
in
the
process,
I'm
assuming
some
are
in
jail.
Some
are
still
waiting.
Their
trials
are
being
extended
quite
a
long
time,
just
wondering
how
this
compares
to
a
non-pandemic
as
far
as
the
percentage
may
be,
of
those
or
and
also
a
sub,
a
sub
answer
to.
C
So
the
most,
the
most
recent
numbers
that
I
have
we
had
comparing
how
many
pending
cases
we
had
from
year
to
year,
we
had
1500
pending
jury
trials
in
november
of
2019
and
about
1800
pending
in
november
of
2020,
so
about
a
300
or
so
case
difference
the
individuals
who
are
facing
trial.
C
It's
a
variety,
some
are
in
some
are
out,
and
I'm
sorry
I
don't
know
how
I
can
see
if
we
can
try
to
figure
out
those
numbers,
but
I
don't
have
those
numbers.
I
don't
have
those
numbers
available
today.
C
C
Some
of
the
people
have
remained
in
custody
because
of
concerns
that
the
judge
has
about
either
their
ability
to
show
up
for
a
court
in
the
trial
or
the
danger
to
the
community.
Should
that
person
be
released
pre-trial,
we
have
people
who
are
there's
actually
three
categories,
so
people
who
are
out
of
custody
people
who
are
in
custody
at
the
detention
center
and
then
we
have
some
people
who
are
incarcerated
in
other
facilities
but
waiting
trials.
So,
for
example,
somebody
who
has
another
case
who's
in
the
nevada
department
of
corrections.
C
So
we
have
that's
the
breakdown,
but
I
don't
have
the
specific
numbers.
Thank.
B
Thank
you
judge
bell
again.
My
my
heart
actually
goes
out
to
you,
I'm
listening
to
this,
and
and
all
these
cases
that
are
kind
of
backlogged,
and
I'm
just
wondering
how
you
have
thought
about
getting
through
those
and
catching
up,
so
to
speak,
higher
substitute
judges
and
so
well
will
the
will
the
days
be
longer
at
the
courthouse?
B
How
will
you
be
able
to
catch
this
up?
It
just
seems
like
a
really
tough
thing
to.
C
Be
able
to
accomplish
so
right
now
we
have
the
two
covid
ready
courtrooms
that
was
very
expensive
and
the
county
was
very
helpful,
getting
those
set
up
for
us
so
that
we
do
have
some
place
that
we
can
do
trials
while
we're
dealing
with
the
social
distancing
and
the
ability
and
making
sure
we
have
the
ability
to
keep
jurors
safe.
C
We
then
rolled
from
that
to
22
new
judges,
so
we've
been
working
on
trying
to
get
the
judges
up
and
running,
and
now
we're
going
to
be
turning
our
attention
to
what
that's
going
to
look
like
in
terms
of
trials
as
we
get
to
the
point
where
we're
not
under
the
pandemic
restrictions.
So
we're
going
to
have
a
small
committee
that
tries
to
figure
out
models
where
we
can
make
sure
that
we're
trying
as
many
cases
as
we
possibly
can
to
get
through
this
backlog.
C
So
it
may
be
that
we
have
people
assigned
to
do
just
trials.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
can
try.
Cases
from
you
know
first
thing
in
the
morning
until
the
end
of
the
day.
Typically,
that
hasn't
always
happened,
because
judges
typically
continue
to
do
all
of
their
other
work,
while
they're
in
trial.
C
So
trials
may
not
start
until
11
or
even
1
in
the
afternoon,
and
we
know
that
that's
not
going
to
work
with
this
backlog,
so
we
are
developing
a
plan
to
for
moving
forward
and
making
sure
that
we
can
try
as
many
cases
as
quickly
as
possible,
making
sure
that
people
still
of
course
get.
You
know
the
time
that
they
need
to
try
their
case
so
we're
we're
working
on
it.
Well,.
B
C
We
also,
I
probably
should
mention.
Also
we
have
senior
judges
in
the
the
supreme
court,
runs
a
senior
judge
program,
and
so
the
senior
judges
have
been
tremendously
helpful,
for
example,
doing
criminal
settlement
conferences.
So
we've
had
tremendous
tremendous
amount
of
support
from
the
nevada
supreme
court
from
justice
hardesty
now
and
last
year.
C
Justice
pickering
was
the
chief
justice
and
they've
been
both
phenomenal
and
supportive
of
all
of
our
efforts
and
trying
to
help
us
work
through
things
and
then
justice
paragary,
who
runs
the
senior
judge
program
they've
all
been
tremendous
in
in
trying
to
help
us
work
through
the
issues
that
we've
faced
because
of
the
pandemic.
That
sounds
like
a
wonderful
resource.
Wonderful.
D
D
D
Gets
to
a
court
filing
and
also
how
the
dependency
gets
there,
who's
who
is
initiating
these
and
whether
or
not
these
juveniles
are
represented
by
the
public
defender
or
some
entity
to
help
them
manage
this.
C
Sure
so
that
that
particular
statistic
is
maybe
not
a
great
number
and
we're
aware
of
this,
because
we
tend
to
not
close
delinquency
cases,
because
kids
come
back
in
and
out
of
the
system
and
so
we're
continuing
to
work
on
a
way
to
manage
that
num
and
get
a
better
number
for
that.
If
you
look
back
on
slide
22,
I
think
that
gives
a
better.
C
More
accurate
number,
so
juvenile
delinquency
cases
we
had
2644
filings
last
year.
So
it's
not
quite
as
big
as
it
looks.
C
We,
the
juvenile
delinquency
cases,
are
handled
all
of
the
juveniles
who
are
brought
into
the
the
system
who
have
committed
some
sort
of
offense
are
brought
into
the
juvenile
court,
they're
all
represented
by
an
attorney
whether
it's
the
public
defender's
office.
C
They
hire
somebody
or
somebody
is
appointed
in
case
of
a
conflict,
so
they
all
have
representation
in
then
the
dependency
cases
are
the
child
welfare
cases
and
those
come
into
the
system
through
family
services
and
the
parents
in
those
cases
have
attorneys
as
well
and
sometimes
the
the
sometimes
there's
attorneys
appointed
for
the
kids.
Sometimes
many
of
the
kids
have
crosses
as
or
it's
not
really,
the
kids.
The
core
will
sometimes
appoint
classes
and
cases
as
well
to
be
there
as
to
kind
of
the
eyes
and
ears
of
the
court.
D
So,
thank
you
judge.
Now,
when
you
say
akasa
you
mean
a
court
appointed
advocate
and
are
they
there
to
advocate
for
the
for
the
juvenile
or
you
said
that
they're
the
eyes
and
ears
they're
the
eyes
and
ears
for
whom.
C
The
core
they
actually
will
go
and
they
provide
reports
to
the
court
about
kind
of
what
is
happening
so
that
the
court
has
a
better
idea
of
the
dynamics
of
the
particular
situation.
So
they
may
spend
time
with
the
child.
C
A
B
Thank
you
chair
and
thank
you
judge
bell
for
being
here
for
the
presentation.
My
question
is
about
after
after
kovic,
so
post
covid
you're
already
busting
at
the
seams
as
far
as
especially
family
court,
but
also
at
the
rjc.
So
what
are
the
I
won't
say
long
term,
but
more
medium
term
plans.
What
are
you
going
to
physically
fit
everyone.
C
So
municipal
court
will
be
moving
out
sometime
during
2021
and
that
will
provide
some
additional
space.
There
is
still
space
in
the
rjc
on
the
17th
floor.
Right
now,
the
county
is
creating
a
complex,
is
remodeling
the
old
supreme
court
to
make
a
complex
litigation
courtroom.
On
that
floor
we
were
pre-coded.
We
were
starting
to
have
conversations
about
additional
court
facilities
because
we
are
completely
out
of
room,
especially
in
the
in
the
family
court
campus.
It's
just
it
was
built,
for
you
know
six,
eight
judicial
officers
and
we
have
26.
C
So
it's
just.
We
are
absolutely
bursting
at
the
seams.
It's
a
it's
a
really
significant
issue
to
us
that
got
sidetracked
a
little
bit
because
of
covid,
but
I
anticipate
once
we
get
through
all
of
this,
then
we
will
continue
to
have
those
discussions
because
we
do
desperately
need
to
have
a
long-term
facilities
plan.
A
A
C
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
come
and
talk
to
all
of
you.
I
really
appreciate
the
support
that
we've
gotten
from
the
legislature,
and
I
am
happy
if
whether
through
chair,
yeager
or
if
you
want
to
reach
out
to
me
individually,
I'm
very
happy
to
answer
any
additional
questions.
Everyone
have
a
good
day.
A
Okay
committee
and
I'll
figure
out
what's
going
on
with
my
video,
but
while
I,
while
I
figure
that
out,
I
want
to
go
ahead
and
queue
up
our
next
presentation.
We
have
next
a
presentation
from
the
second
judicial
district
court
of
nevada
and
we
have
joining
us
this
morning.
The
honorable
scott
freeman,
who
I
believe
is
the
chief
judge
in
the
second
judicial
district
court
and
like
our
last
presentation,
there
is
an
exhibit
on
nellis
that
I
think
judge
freeman
will
take
us
through.
A
E
A
E
Much
for
having
me,
I
want
to
first
thank
judge
bell
for
going
through
her
presentation,
which
I
always
like
to
say.
Sometimes,
washer
county
is
clark
county
light
in
terms
of
the
things
that
she's
experiencing
we're
experiencing
the
same
thing
and
dealing
with
it
accordingly.
So
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
present
to
you
today.
It's
always
an
honor
to
meet
with
our
legislative
colleagues
and
to
share
the
happenings
of
the
second
judiciary
court.
E
I've
been
the
chief
for
three
years.
This
is
my
fourth
and
final
year
as
chief,
however,
for
me,
I
will
be
transitioning
to
president
of
the
statewide
nevada
district
judges
association,
so
I
will
still
be
hanging
around
nevada
has
11
judicial
districts
making
up
the
state
general
jurisdiction
court?
E
These
district
courts
serve
nevada's
17
counties,
washer
county
is
in
the
second
judicial
district.
That's
the
name.
The
second
judicial
district
court
bristol,
has
been

revised

1.050.
E
Again,
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
last
year
to
present
to
you
and
you
provided
to
us
department
16
in
the
second
judicial
district
court,
family
division,
judge,
amy
benalis
was
sworn
into
that
department
on
january
4th
of
this
year
after
running
for
her
department,
unopposed
judges
are
elected
for
its
six-year
term
and
judges
are
elected.
At
the
same
time,
our
current
bench
members
were
all
elected
in
november
2020
and
took
office
on
january
4th
of
this
year.
E
Well,
family
division
is
physically
located
at
one
south,
sierra
on
the
first
and
third
floors
in
downtown
reno.
The
general
jurisdiction
division
is
located
across
the
street
at
75
court
street
in
the
historic
courthouse,
in
addition
to
the
16
judges.
The
second
judicial
district
court
has
six
judicial
officers
who
are
employees
rather
than
elected
judicial
officers.
E
They
have
limited
scope
of
authority
and
their
decisions
typically
must
be
counter-signed
by
a
district
court
judge.
We
have
one
commissioner,
in
the
general
jurisdiction
division,
who's
dedicated
to
probate
matters.
We
have
four
masters
in
the
family
division,
each
of
the
responsible
for
an
area
of
juvenile
delinquency,
juvenile
dependency,
child
support
and
protection
orders.
We
also
have
one
commissioner
dedicated
to
discovery
issues
who
receives
assignments
from
judges
in
both
divisions,
in
addition
to
172
full-time
employees,
the
court
uses
contractors
for
court
reporting,
mediation
and
interpreters.
E
Judges
are
paid
for
by
the
state
of
nevada.
However,
all
court
employees
cost
of
running
the
court,
including
the
facilities,
are
funded
by
washer
county.
As
you
can
see,
we
have
approximately
34.6
million
dollar
annual
budget
turning
to
a
whole
new
world.
Like
everyone
else,
the
court's
world
dramatically
changed
in
march
of
2020..
E
E
We
met
with
stakeholders
to
discuss
their
needs
and
hours
and
brainstorm
solutions
to
previously
unthought
of
problems.
One
of
our
judges
judge
connie
steinheimer,
the
most
senior
sitting,
judge
in
our
state,
spearheaded
testing
virtual
operations
and
held
court
several
times
virtually
then.
On
march
17th,
I
closed
the
courthouse
in
response
to
governor's
central
acts
directed
I
indefinitely
camped
with
all
jury
trials.
I
moved
our
criminal
calendar
to
virgil
only
and
we
began
virtual
operations
on
march.
19Th.
E
Moving
to
remote
operations
was
a
court-wide
effort.
It
was
only
because
we
had
prepared
that
we're
able
to
pivot
so
quickly
years
of
investing
in
technology
and
advancing
advancing
court
operations
as
well
as
partnering
with
our
stakeholders
enabled
this
to
occur.
Some
have
asked
if
we
were
able
to
provide
service
remotely.
The
answer
is
yes,
it's
not
always
the
easiest
approach,
it's
not
the
preferred
approach,
but
it
has
work.
E
We
meet
every
wednesday
at
four
o'clock
where
I
meet
with
judges
from
reno
municipal
corps,
the
justice
court
in
reno
and
in
sparks,
and
we
compare
and
contrast
our
notes
as
we
move
forward
to
try
to
work
together.
Even
though
they're
independent,
we
try
to
work
together
during
this
covet
time
and
do
meet
every
wednesday
at
four
o'clock
with
those
judges.
E
E
This
chart
compares
the
number
of
hearings
held
in
the
second
judicial
district
court
in
2019.,
the
blue
color
that
oath
held
in
2020
the
orange
color.
You
will
see
in
march
when
the
courthouse
closed
and
fought
in
the
following
month.
We
had
the
biggest
comparative
difference
in
july
and
september.
The
court
heard
more
matters
than
those
months
in
2019
in
normal
time.
E
E
E
E
There
were
four
thousand

which
is

versus
2019,
which
is
a

decrease
in
new
case
filings,
notably
the
news
cases.
New
cases
decreased
by
22.8,
while
the
number
of
orders
and
hearings
only
decreased
by
a
lesser
percent
of
10.04
and
13.7
respectively.
E
E
E
We've
had
experiences
in
my
personal
experience
from
handling
the
map
or
medically
assisted
treatment
or
specialty
court,
where
my
drug
addicts
in
recovery
find
their
way
to
zoom.
Every
monday
afternoon
I
had
one
individual
who
used
zoom
from
a
restaurant
bathroom.
We
had
four
participants
from
a
sani
hub.
E
We
had
one
individual
that
was
shirtless
and
frankly,
we
had
a
divorced
couple
and
family
court
that
decided
to
divorce,
but
yet
they
were
in
bed
together
during
a
zoom
presentation.
Let
me
share
with
you
in
my
mac
court.
I
have
my
individuals
showing
up
on
time
when
they're
supposed
to
now
on
zoom
and
they're,
using
it
sometimes
better,
some
of
our
than
some
of
our
well-appointed
attorneys
that
have
a
difficult
time
figuring
out.
Zoom.
E
It's
working
justice
is
being
admitted
administered
despite
these
challenges,
thanks
to
the
zoom
platform.
Now,
as
far
as
jury
trials
are
concerned,
we
stopped
all
jury
crawled
in
march,
but
began
meeting
with
stakeholders
shortly
thereafter
to
begin
discussions.
That
was
what
was
necessary
to
resume
them
after
developing
a
robust
jury
trial,
resumption
plan
to
include
all
cdc
recommended
measures
regarding
social
distancing
and
masks
and
retrofitting
courtrooms
with
plexiglass.
E
We
resumed
trials.
In
september,
we
conducted
three
before
the
stay-at-home
2.0
order
was
issued
because
we're
still
under
that
order,
we
cannot
continue
to
conduct
jury
trials
as
we
speak.
However,
once
conditions
improve
and
it's
safe
to
do
so,
we
will
continue
with
jury
trials
in
our
courtrooms,
designed
to
mitigate
covet
as
safe
as
we
can.
Of
course,
our
focus
is
criminal.
Jury
trial
to
begin
as
well.
E
E
So
when
we
think
about
commencing
jury
trials,
we
always
have
to
think
about
bringing
jurors
to
the
courthouse
and
have
the
ability
to
have
them
serve
and
we
have
the
power
to
do
so.
But
again,
we
must
use
that
power
carefully
successes.
We've
also
had
some
incredible
successes
in
the
second
judicial
district.
We
rapidly
advanced
our
technical
knowledge
throughout
the
fort
like
or
not.
We
rapidly
learned
how
to
connect
our
own
equipment
to
troubleshoot
problems.
We
previously
would
have
called
someone
to
assist
us
with
to
share
screens
and
add
virtual
backgrounds.
E
Our
employees
and
stakeholders
report
an
overwhelming
sense
of
gratitude
in
the
way
we've
prioritized
their
well-being.
One
of
our
successes
has
been
the
continuation
of
the
lawyer
in
the
library
program
throughout
the
pandemic.
The
second
judicial
district
court
has
had
a
lawyer
in
the
library
program
since
december.
1999
that
serves
individuals
who
have
legal
needs.
E
E
E
E
There
are
many
more
things
to
share,
but
it's
not
possible
in
the
time
frame
allowed.
For
today
I
invite
you
to
observe
an
online
hearing
which
is
accessible
at
www.washercourts.com
once
we're
open.
I
invite
you
to
tour
our
courthouses.
The
historic
courthouse
is
particularly
impressive
and
filled
with
nevada
history.
E
A
Questions,
thank
you.
So
much
judge
freeman.
You
know
one
of
the
downsides
of
us
all
being
on
mute.
Is
you
didn't
get
to
hear
us
laughing?
At
least
I
was
laughing
pretty
hysterically
at
some
of
those
stories.
She
told
particularly
the
married
couple
in
bed
together.
Getting
a
divorce.
I
mean
that's
just
something.
It
is.
A
Yeah,
you
remind
me,
I
was
on
some
kind
of
court
hearing
not
too
long
ago
and
I
think
there
was
actually
an
attorney
who
was
on
the
beach
or
to
participating,
which
I
thought
was
pretty
unusual.
I
gotta
be
honest.
A
little
jealous,
I
think
he
was
gonna,
do
some
surfing
but
yeah.
It's
a
new
reality
that
we're
getting
used
to-
and
you
know
obviously
want
to
thank
you
for
the
second
judicial
district
being
flexible
and
transitioning.
A
I'm
particularly
impressed
that
you
were
able
to
do
more
hearings
in
a
couple
of
the
calendar
months
this
year
than
you
were
last
year,
and
I
think
that
speaks
to
the
flexibility
of
the
court
and
trying
to
make
sure
that
you're
servicing
everybody.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
doing
that
and
for
you
know,
all
the
all
the
coveted
mitigation
measures,
because
I
know
you
run
here
when
judge
bell
presented,
but
obviously
it's
a
concern
to
make
sure
that
we
keep
cases
moving
through
the
system
as
best
we
can
and
certainly
appreciate
the
challenges.
A
B
Hi
judge
freeman.
Thank
you
again
so
much
for
the
presentation
I
actually
was
laughing
out
loud
and
I'm
and
I'm
easily
amused.
Maybe,
but
thank
you
for
that
levity
in
this
situation.
I
know
we
deal
with
a
lot
of
serious
things.
So
thank
you
for
that.
I
I
have
a
question
of
some
of
the
things.
The
procedures
or
policies
that
you've
instituted
in
your
courts
with
regard
to
covid
are
any
of
those
that
you
see
carrying
on
into
the
future,
because
they've
been
successful.
E
I
do
one
of
the
things
that
I've
been
so
impressed
about
is
judicial
settlement
conferences.
E
One
of
the
things
that
I've
seen
in
my
experience
during
covet
is
that
during
this
government
conference
you
require
the
adjuster
to
be
present
to
have
as
the
ability
to
settle
a
civil
case
and
typically,
what
I've
experienced
sometimes
is.
An
adjuster
will
have
a
certain
level
of
authority
to
settle
the
case.
E
They
haven't
felt
the
the
the
energy
in
the
room
so
to
speak
and
they
go
well
start
them,
25,
000,
less
and
all
of
a
sudden
you're
at
square
one.
Now,
with
the
zoom,
I
get
the
adjuster
from
kentucky
in
front
of
me,
while
I'm
trying
to
settle
the
case
and
to
me
that's
been
a
very
invaluable
in
judicial
settlements,
for
example,
in
addition
to
the
second
judicial
district,
probably
similar
to
judge
bell,
nothing
has
stopped,
with
the
exception
of
jury
trials,
each
judge.
E
Although
we've
changed
our
business
model,
each
judge
has
a
morning
in
custody,
criminal
docket
how
to
correct
cuts
the
criminal
docket.
We
have
civil
cases.
Everything
continues
on,
so
the
question
then
becomes
from
a
convenient
perspective.
Is
it
possible
to
have
witnesses
testify
or
people
with
that
have
medical
conditions?
Can
they
testify
by
zoom?
E
In
addition,
in
washer
county
I've
been
negotiating
with
the
sheriff's
office
related
to
jail
transfer
transport
in
the
eighth.
They
do
some
arraignments
by
video
we've
not
done
that
in
in
washer
county.
So
there
could
be
some
cost-saving
measures,
I'm
looking
into
related
to
normal
time
versus
zoom
related
to
jail
transport,
because
of
course
our
jail
is
a
distant
not
far
but
distant
from
the
courthouse.
So
there's
always
those
safety
concerns
about
transporting
inmates.
A
Yeah
and
if
I
could
follow
up
on
that,
not
really
a
question
judge
freeman,
but
I
just
agree
with
your
position
on
the
value
of
zoom
and
one
of
the
issues.
You
might
recall
that
we
talked
about
in
this
committee
last
session.
Was
you
know
traffic
tickets?
And
why
do
so?
A
Many
people
not
show
up
in
court,
and
I
think
one
of
the
conclusions
we
reached
is
you
know
most
people
want
to
take
care
of
their
business,
but
it
can
be
extraordinarily
inconvenient
for
someone
to
have
to
go
to
court
on
a
random
weekday
to
drive
down
their
fine
parking.
I'm
speaking
of
las
vegas
in
particular.
Go
through
security,
navigate
the
elevators,
so
you
know
anything
we
can
do.
I
think
to
to
help,
particularly
in
some
of
those
more
minor
cases,
help
folks
to
participate
from
where
they
are.
A
I
think
that's,
probably
a
win
all
the
way
around
and
hopefully
will
eliminate
some
of
the
non-appearances
and
resulting
warrants
that
happen.
So
you
know
again,
I
command
you
to
to
do
as
much
of
that
as
you
can,
with
with
balancing
the
competing
interests
to
make
sure
that
folks
have
access
to
the
courtroom
in
a
convenient
way.
So
you
know
thank
you
for
that
and
for
thinking
ahead
well,
great.
E
Point
I'll
share
with
you
very
briefly
chair
during
our
chief
judges
meeting,
I'm
going
to
give
a
as
they
say
a
shout
out
to
judge
tyrus
in
incline
village
in
north
lake
tahoe
judge
tyrus
when
he
meets
with
us,
does
exactly
that.
He
does
remote
citations
with
tourists
that
visit
the
north
shore
of
lake
tahoe
remotely,
and
he
is
on
the
cutting
edge
in
that
regard.
E
So
he
he
really
shares
with
us
what
he
does
with
those
citations,
and
you
know
that
that's
a
a
time
that
has
to
come.
You
know
when
somebody's
visiting
from
the
bay
area
going
skiing
and
they
pick
up
a
speeding
ticket.
The
fact
that
they
can
do
it
remotely
from
their
bay
area
home
is
is
just
something
we're
thinking
about.
A
Yeah,
thank
you
for
mentioning
that
I
should
have
mentioned.
Judge
tyrus
as
well.
I
know
he's
been.
You
know
at
the
forefront
of
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
do
these.
Video
appearances
and
I've
had
a
chance
to
watch
some
of
those
on
on
the
youtube
channel
and
I'm
hopeful
that
at
some
point
we
can
do
do
that
down
in
clark
county.
The
volume
I
think
is
a
little
bit
higher,
but
we
still
have
a
lot
of
folks
coming
in
from
california
as
well,
that
you
know
it's
hard
for
them
to
get
back.
A
So
you
know,
committee
will
probably
be
talking
about
traffic
citations
at
some
point
during
the
session,
and
you
know
at
that
point
we'll
we'll
discuss
that
further,
and
I
would
certainly
encourage
committee
members
to
to
reach
out
and
try
to
watch
some
of
those
those
hearings
online,
the
traffic
ones
in
particular.
I
think
they're
they're,
fascinating
and
I
think
it's
the
best
of,
of
course
innovation.
A
A
I
don't
see
questions
judge.
I
did
want
to
ask
you
one
quickly.
I
know
we
asked
you
obviously
to
keep
your
presentation
very
short,
but
I
wanted
to
inquire
about
the
specialty
courts
and
covet
and
the
pandemic,
and
you
know,
have
you
been
able
to
keep
operating
those
courts
during
the
pandemic?
Has
it
been,
you
know
difficult?
Is
there
a
waitlist
just
sort
of
a
ten
thousand
foot
view
on
how
the
specialty
courts
are
going
in
the
second
or.
E
So,
what's
exciting
in
the
second
edition
district
court
is
that
last
year
we
were
able
to
cajole,
judge
palaha,
who
was
finishing
his
term
after
a
very,
very
distinguished
career
on
the
bench
to
be
our
specialty
court
judge
he
handled
all
of
our
specialty
courts,
which
were
drug
court,
diversion
court,
mental
health,
court
veterans,
court,
medical
assistant,
treatment,
court,
re-entry
court
and
a
mental
health
court
upon
his
retirement.
E
I
am
proud
to
say
that
our
district
court
judges
stepped
up,
and
each
one
of
us
now
handles
a
particular
court,
and
then
those
of
us
that
are
not
the
handling
specialty
court
judge
are
the
backups
in
case.
There's
a
conflict
by
that
handling
judge
vice
chief
lynn,
simons,
is
our
liaison.
If
you
will
in
special
court
and
I'll
share
with
you.
The
most
impressive
thing
to
me
is
that
we
haven't
lost
a
beat
chair
yeager
in
terms
of
our
special
participants.
E
In
fact,
there
are
more,
and
so
our
resources,
although
always
are
stretched
thin.
The
ability
for
the
offenders
to
show
up
on
time
to
be
clean
and
sober
and
to
assimilate
themselves
into
society
have
been
very
impressive.
E
So
as
we
work
our
way
through
specialty
courts,
each
one
of
our
judges
is
is
a
specialist
so
to
speak
in
their
specialty
core
mental
health,
court
veterans,
court,
re-entry
court,
a
medically
assisted
treatment,
court,
drug
court
and
diversion
court,
and
these
judges
that
are
assigned
to
their
particular
court
have
taken
a
lot
of
pride
in
this
additional
assignment
which
we
didn't
have
before
in-house.
As
you
may
recall.
E
Historically,
in
the
second
edition
district
court,
the
famous
well-respected
judge,
breen
and
judge
blake,
were
our
senior
judges
that
spearheaded
our
specialty
courts
that
evolved
to
judge
palaja.
E
Now
it's
involved
to
individual
judges
and
and
the
reason
why
that's
important
is
because
our
business
plans
for
our
quarter
are
a
bit
different
than
in
a
clark
county
because
of
our
population
amount
of
judges,
so
for
us
to
change
a
business
plan
from
one
judge
handling,
especially
for
it
to
going
individual.
It's
quite
a
a
change
for
us
and
I'm
pleased
to
report
that
we've.
We
have
not
missed
a
b.
Our
judges
have
stepped
up,
and
I'm
just
so
proud
of
actually
the
folks
in
recovery
that
they
are
responding.
E
You
know
you
know
you
are
going
to
get
that
one
or
two
offender.
That's
high
and
you're,
going
to
tell
that
they're
high,
and
so
you
say:
listen,
you
know
they're
sanctions
from
being
high,
but
the
judges
read
it.
They
deal
with
it.
They
address
it.
They
give
second
chances.
We
try
to
get
people
on
the
road
for
recovery
to
try
to
make
them
productive
members
of
our
society.
So
I'm
real
pleased
about
our
special.
A
Thank
you,
so
much
judge
freeman
last
call
for
questions
any
other
questions
for
judge,
freeman,
okay
judge,
I
think
you're
off
the
hook.
I
don't
see
any
other
questions
again.
Members.
If
you
have
questions
that
I'm
sorry
assemblywoman
gonzalez
did
you
have
one?
Yes.
F
Thank
you
so
much
chair,
assemblywoman,
gonzalez
assemblydistrict16..
I
was
just
curious.
Are
there
any
evaluations
for
your
specialty
programs
to
see
if
the
specialty
courts
are?
You
know
targeting
those
needs
that
you
have
them
set
up
for.
E
Oh
100,
we
have
outcomes,
we
have
outcomes
reported
for
us
to
get
our
funding
from
the
specialty
court
funding
source,
which
is
the
administrative
office,
the
courts.
We
have
to
provide
how
many
offenders
we
have,
what
the
outcomes
are
their
recidivism
rates,
whether
they
come
back
and
repeat.
E
Oh
absolutely,
the
one
thing
that's
really
impressive
about
specially
fourth
and
why
we
look
to
increase
its
awareness
is
because
I'll
share
with
you
assemblywoman
that
in
my
experience
and
I've
been
a
criminal
lawyer
for
27
years
before
I
was
eight
years
on
the
bench
95
in
my
opinion
of
criminal
cases
are
drug
and
alcohol
related,
mostly
drug
and
mostly
methamphetamine.
E
Right
now,
when
you
see
the
craziest
criminal
cases,
it
is
methamphetamine
to
the
max,
and
when
I
say
that,
that's
what
specialty
court
addresses
addicts
have
to
make
the
decision
when
it's
their
turn
not
to
be
an
addict
anymore.
We
can't
sanction
them.
We
can't
do
that.
We
can
separate
them
from
society
by
criminal
sentencing,
but
we
can't
go
into
their
head
and
say
you
got
to
stop
being
an
addict.
They
have
to
make
the
decision
and
when
they
do.
My
experience
has
been
tremendous
success.
E
That's
what
special
courts
do
so
we
keep
track
of
those
stats.
We
keep
track
of
who's
in
judges,
make
a
careful
decision
when
they
decide
somebody
gets
the
privilege,
it's
a
privilege,
to
be
in
specialty
court.
You
don't
get
it
just
because
you
get
it
it's
one
of
those
things
where
the
right
things
have
to
be
put
together
and
then
an
individual
will
be
in
special
court.
We
hope
they'll
be
successful,
but
we
absolutely
are
statistic
driven
and
frankly,
we
that's
where
our
funding
comes
from
is
to
show
those
statistics.
A
Welcome
any
further
questions:
okay,
now
I
think
you're
off
the
hook,
judge
freeman
again
thanks
for
being
here
this
morning.
I'm
sure
we'll
see
you
in
committee
several
times
in
the
next
112
or
13
days,
but
for
now,
thank
you
so
much
and
have
a
great
rest
of
the
day.
E
A
Thanks
you
too,
all
right
committee,
so
we're
through
two
of
our
presentations.
We
have
two
more
to
go:
we're
going
to
transition
from
the
two
largest
judicial
districts
in
the
state
to
presentations
from
a
couple
of
law
enforcement
agencies.
A
Just
so
the
committee
know,
as
you
obviously
have
the
agenda
in
front
of
you,
we're
going
to
hear
from
the
las
vegas
metropolitan
police
department,
which,
as
the
name
states,
is
the
las
vegas
area
police
force,
and
then
we
have
sheriffs
and
chiefs
on
the
agenda
which
well
I'll,
let
mr
spratley
sort
of
describe.
You
know
where
they
are,
what
their
mission
is
county,
sheriff's
department.
We
are
going
to
hear
a
presentation
from
them
just
not
today.
A
Just
so,
you
know
that
presentation
is
scheduled
for
a
week
from
today
on
the
15th.
So
I
didn't
want
you
to
think
we
left
anybody
out
we're
just
trying
to
manage
everyone's
schedule.
So
with
that
being
said,
we're
going
to
move
next
to
the
overview
of
the
las
vegas
metropolitan
police
department.
A
As
per
usual,
there
is
a
pretty
comprehensive
powerpoint
exhibit
on
nellis
that
members
can
look
at
or
members
of
the
public
can
reference,
and
I
want
to
welcome
to
the
committee,
mr
chuck
callaway,
who
is
the
police
director
office
of
intergovernmental
services
at
las
vegas
metropolitan
police
department.
Mr
callaway
and
I
have
been
working
together
on
these
issues
since
2013.
I
think
he's
been
working
on
him,
a
heck
of
a
lot
longer
than
that,
but
mr
callaway
we're
happy
to
have
you
back
at
the
legislative
session,
even
if
only
virtual
and
when
you're
ready.
G
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
committee
chuck
callaway
director
of
intergovernmental
services
for
metro.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
come
before
you
today
and
present.
I
wish
it
was
in
person
and
not
through
this
format.
As
the
chairman
said,
I
have
a
very
lengthy
presentation.
I'm
going
to
fly
through
it
at
lightning
speed,
because
I
know
that
you'll
have
a
lot
of
questions
for
me
so
with
that
I'm
not
a
real
technical
savvy
guy.
So,
let's
see
if
we
can
get
this
to
work
the
proper
way
and.
A
I
don't
think
we
can
see
it
yet,
but
we
have
some
technical
support
on
the
line
who,
I
think
will
be
able
to
help
as
well.
So
you
just
hand.
F
G
B
G
All
right,
thank
you.
I
apologize
for
that,
like
I
said,
I'm
not
a
real
tech,
savvy
person
so,
like
I
said,
I'm
gonna
go
really
quick
through
this.
The
las
vegas
metropolitan
police
department
is
the
tenth
largest
police
department
in
the
country,
depending
on
whose
numbers
you
look
at.
We
were
formed
in
1973
by
your
body,
the
state
legislature.
G
It
was
a
merger
of
the
clark
county
sheriff's
office
and
the
las
vegas
municipal
police
force.
We
fall
under
the
leadership
of
an
elected
sheriff.
The
current
sheriff
is
sheriff
joe
lombardo.
I've
had
the
privilege
of
working
for
five
sheriffs
during
my
career
with
metro.
I've
been
with
metro,
for
this
is
my
32nd
year
on
the
force
like
like
most
major
agencies.
We
have
vision,
values,
mission,
statement
and
goals.
G
Our
vision
has
stayed
the
same
over
the
last
decade,
or
so
it's
to
be
the
safest
community
in
america.
This
last
year
we
actually
had
the
sheriff's
leadership
school,
which
is
a
group
of
folks
that
go
through
leadership,
training.
They
work
to
revise
our
mission
and
our
goals.
As
you
can
see
at
the
bottom,
we've
we've
changed
those
to
be
more
progressive
and
up
with
the
times
and
we've
included
leadership,
accountability
and
reform
in
our
goals
and
our
values
also
remain
the
same
integrity,
courage,
accountability,
respect
and
excellence.
G
I'm
gonna
go
through
some
basic
facts
about
the
las
vegas
metropolitan
police
department,
the
numbers
that
are
in
my
presentation
I
got
in
mid-january
when
I
was
asked
by
the
committee
to
do
this
presentation.
G
As
you
know,
an
agency
our
size
numbers
can
change
on
a
daily
basis.
People
leave
people
get
hired,
so
these
numbers
are
from
mid
january.
Currently
we
have
about
3
301
police
officers,
1
357
civilians,
404,
658,
full-time
employees.
G
We
have
929
corrections,
officers
in
ccdc,
346,
civilian
employees
in
ccdc
and
33
county
employees,
our
department
oversees
a
jurisdiction
of
7560
square
miles
and
a
population
of
about
2
million
residents
and
43
tourists
a
year
before
the
pandemic
hit
special
events.
I
was
going
to
take
this
slide
off.
G
I
had
it
from
my
previous
slide
that
I
did
at
the
last
legislative
session,
but
I
thought
it
was
important
to
show
the
difference
between
what
is
normal
and
what
happened
during
the
pandemic
during
a
normal
year
prior
to
the
pandemic,
our
agency
handled
about
7806
special
events,
it's
about
21
events
a
day
and
those
range
everything
from
electric
daisy
carnival
to
conventions,
nascar
sporting
events,
new
year's
eve
events
that
private
entities
hold
where
they
hire
officers
to
work
overtime
for
those
events
and
after
2020
we
saw
that
we
did
see
a
decrease
in
special
events,
but
it
wasn't
as
big
of
a
decrease
as
we
thought
you
know,
we
still
had
five
thousand
eight
hundred
four
fourteen
events,
an
average
of
about
15
a
day,
many
of
those
some
of
those
occurred
prior
to
march
when
the
shutdown
occurred,
but
we
still
had,
as
you
know,
even
though
there
weren't
full
spectators
at
the
allegiance
stadium.
G
For
example,
we
still
had
officers
working
those
events,
the
sporting
events,
and
we
also
had
officers
augmenting
some
of
the
hotels
which
I'll
get
into
a
little
bit
later.
When
we
talk
about
crime
trends,
our
communications
center,
we
usually
receive
about,
on
average,
three
million
calls
for
service
and
about
1.1
million
911
calls
per
year.
We
have
107
dispatchers
and
80
call
takers,
and
we
averaged
about
a
six
minute
response
for
priority
events,
which
would
be
those
the
numbers
vary.
G
Obviously,
but
on
average
it's
about
six
minutes,
our
patrol
areas
that
we
cover
our
jurisdiction.
Primary
jurisdiction
covers
10
area
commands.
G
We
also
have
resident
officers
such
as
laughlin
and
out
in
logandale
and
jean
a
searchlight
area,
and
we
have
our
airport
substation.
That's
inside
of
mccarran
airport,
our
traffic
section
handled
two
22
059
traffic
collisions
in
2020
about
half
of
those
are
injury
accidents.
That's
a
slight
increase
over
21
891
in
20.
In
2019
we
had
98
fatal
collisions
compared
to
111
fatal
collisions
in
2019,
and
we
had
3846
dui
arrests
and
again,
a
slight
uptick
from
2019.
G
Talk
briefly
about
my
office,
I
work
directly
for
sheriff
lombardo.
I
am
the
director
of
intergovernmental
services.
I
have
two
officers
that
work
for
me
officer,
aj,
delap
and
officer
chris
reese.
I
also
have
a
legislative
assistant,
neo
vidal,
and
my
job
is
primarily
to
assist
you
and
to
liaison
with
local
government
with
state
government
and
federal
representatives.
G
G
We
represent
the
sheriff
and
the
agency
to
a
number
of
local
entities,
whether
it's
the
county,
commission,
the
city
council,
private
entities
and
our
ultimate
goal
is
to
ensure
public
safety
in
the
in
the
valley.
We
also
help
you
and
and
other
electeds,
with
constituent
issues
when
we
have
cases
where
one
of
your
constituents
is
upset
or
feels
like
they
didn't
receive
proper
service.
We're
we're
here
to
help
you
with
that.
We're
also
here
to
help
you
with
any
issues
that
occur
with
metro
that
you
need.
G
You
have
questions
about
or
or
or
concerns
about.
We
do
zoning
and
planning
issues.
We
work
with
our
electeds
on
the
local
level
regarding
ordinances.
We
also
assist
our
foreign
consulates
when
victims
who
come
to
clark
county
are
from
other
countries.
They
get
victimized
in
rare
cases.
Some
of
those
folks
are
actually
the
suspects
in
crimes
and
they
end
up
in
the
detention
facility.
G
We
have
folks
that
lose
their
passports
and
whenever
the
consulate
reaches
out
to
us,
we
assist
with
that.
We
also
assist
with
dignitary
visits,
but
we
don't
do
protection
we
help
with
tours,
and
the
fusion
center
folks
actually
assist
with
whatever
protection
needs
would
be
needed,
and
then
we
obviously
assist
in
interim
committees
and
boards.
G
I
myself,
I
think,
I'm
on
like
six
different
committees
and
boards,
including
the
advisory
commissions,
the
administration
of
justice,
the
nevada
sentencing,
commission,
the
attorney
general's
substance,
abuse
working
group,
the
homeless
to
housing
committee.
Just
to
name
a
few
that
I
currently
participate
in
our
agency
is
not
just
uniform
patrol.
G
Obviously,
we
have
specialized
units
that
include
our
csi
folks
that
process
crime
scenes
swat
k9
our
forensics
lab
our
detective
bureau,
and
I-
and
I
must
say
that
one
of
sheriff
lombardo's
priorities
when
he
took
office,
was
to
decentralize
our
detective
bureau
and
move
detectives
out
to
the
area
commands
so
that
when
citizens
are
victims
of
a
crime,
the
detectives
are
right
there
on
the
front
line
with
the
officers
and
we're
getting
a
quicker
service
versus
having
a
detective
bureau
up
in
the
ivory
tower.
G
So
to
speak
and
taking
days
for
a
case
to
get
up
to
a
detective,
and
we
we've
really
seen
the
benefits
in
that
this
picture
in
the
left.
Bottom
left-hand
corner
shows
our
homicide
unit
and
I
must
say
that
our
our
homicide
unit
has
a
solvability
rate
of
currently
92
percent,
which
is
pretty
much
unheard
of
in
the
country.
Most
agencies
hover
around
60
of
a
solvability
rate.
G
So
if
you
think
about
that
for
just
a
moment,
if
you
commit
a
murder
in
some
other
jurisdictions,
you've
got
just
a
little
under
a
50
percent
chance
of
getting
away
with
it
and
that's
murder
victims,
their
families
that
never
get
closure
that
never
see
the
justice,
but
in
clark
county,
you
have
less
than
an
eight
percent
chance
of
getting
away
with
it,
and
I
think
that's
an
important
thing
and
I
kudos
to
our
detectives
that,
on
a
daily
basis,
are
out
solving
those
those
homicides
and
violent
crimes.
G
G
We
get
a
lot
of
visitors
who
come
to
town
and
they
go
out
to
red
rock
and
they
go
hiking
or
they
don't
understand
the
desert
environment
and
they
get
out
and
they
don't
have
adequate
water
or
supplies,
or
they
get
lost
and
search
and
rescue
does
a
phenomenal
job
of
going
out
and
locating
those
individuals,
and
we
obviously,
we
have
volunteers
that
that
assist
with
that
and
that
they
are
playing
an
important
role
in
rescuing
folks.
G
The
southern
nevada
counterterrorism
center
is,
is
the
state's
fusion
center
it's
located
in
our
headquarters.
Building
at
las
vegas
metro.
We
have
we
house
the
the
nevada
joint
terrorism
task
force
there,
which
is
made
up
of
representatives
from
both
local
state
and
federal
aid
law
enforcement
agencies.
G
G
They
do
real-time
analytical
work,
looking
at
data
and
numbers
that
come
in
crime
related
and
in
fact
it
was
our
insect
folks.
We
call
mansec
for
short,
an
analytical
section.
It
was
our
insect
folks
that
provided
me
much
of
the
data
that
you
see
on
this
slot
on
these
slides
today
and
then,
of
course,
we
have
our
see
something
say
something
program
out
of
the
fusion
center,
because,
ultimately
we
can't
do
it
alone.
G
We
rely
on
the
public's
eyes
to
to
assist
and
help
us
with
seeing
things
that
just
just
don't
look
right
and
reporting
those
mac
tr
mac.
Tac
training
is
an
important
component
of
what
we
do
after
the
mumbai
attacks
in
2009.
We
actually
sent
officers
to
india
to
learn
from
that
incident.
G
As
you
remember,
that
was
a
coordinated
terrorist
attack
on
some
hotels,
and
we
saw
that
if
that
became
a
trend
that
the
las
vegas
strip
was
a
potential
high
risk
for
that
type
of
activity.
So
since
then,
we've
developed
a
very
robust
mac,
tac
training
for
officers
to
respond
to
any
type
of
terrorist
attack.
Of
that
nature
which
might
occur.
G
G
Metro's
budget
is
defined
under
nrs
280.
I
believe
that
for
public
entities
we
have
one
of
the
most
transparent
budget
processes.
There
is
we
have
a
fiscal
affairs
committee
which
is
made
up.
You
see
the
members
there
on
the
left.
It's
made
up
of
a
citizen
at
large
who's,
the
chair,
mr
macbeth,
and
then
it's
made
up
of
two
members
of
the
city
council
and
two
members
of
the
county
commission.
G
G
I
want
to
talk
about
a
collaborative
reform,
because
this
is
a
very
in-depth
topic
and,
and
I'm
sure,
throughout
the
session,
police
reform
will
be
a
topic
in
most
of
you
remember
that
in
2011
around
november
the
review
journal
did
a
series
of
newspaper
articles
about
metro's
use
of
force
and
it
it
was
not
a
a
pretty
picture.
G
Obviously,
we
had
some
issues
at
that
time
and
we
sheriff
gillespie
at
the
time,
knew
that,
based
on
that
article
and
based
on
community
pressure,
that
there
was
a
high
likelihood
that
there
would,
if
not
if
no
action
was
taken,
there
would
be
a
dissent
decree
on
our
agency.
He
took
the
initiative
to
do
something
that
was
never
done
before,
which
was
reach
out
to
the
department
of
justice
and
embark
upon
a
collaborative
reform
model.
G
Members
of
the
department
of
justice
came
to
our
agency
and
we
worked
hand
in
hand
with
them.
They
identified
75
areas
made
75
recommendations
where
they
felt
that
we
could
make
improvements
to
reduce
deadly
use
of
force
on
our
agency
and
use
of
force.
In
general,
we
worked
to
complete
all
of
those
recommendations
and
it
involved
transforming
policies,
procedures
and
the
culture
of
our
agency,
and
I'm
not
going
to
tell
you
as
we
go
through
this
this
presentation
that
metro
is
perfect.
Obviously
we
have
a
long
ways
to
go.
G
I
believe
we're
a
very
progressive
agency,
we're
always
striving
to
update
our
policies
and
procedures
and
adopt
best
practices.
G
What
we
have
done,
based
on
the
collaborative
reform
model
and
again
remember
this-
goes
back
to
around
2011
2012
early
2012,
when
a
lot
of
these
measures
started
taking
place.
So
we've
been
at
this
reform
business
for
quite
a
while.
We
established
our
office
of
internal
oversight
and
constitutional
policing.
G
We
did
a
complete
overhaul
of
our
use
of
force
policy
with
stakeholder
input.
One
of
the
things
we
immediately
did
in
our
policy
was
to
add
a
sanctity
of
life
clause
in
the
policy
and
I'll
get
into
them
in
a
minute.
Some
more
changes
that
we've
made
to
the
policy
we
implemented
mandatory
training
for
all
officers
on
de-escalation.
G
We
implemented
reality-based
training,
with
more
of
a
focus
on
de-escalating
and
using
lesser
means
of
force.
We
implemented
fair,
impartial
policing,
training,
training
on
dealing
with
the
mentally
ill.
We
created
a
cert
and
fit
process
which
anytime
there
is
an
officer-involved
use
of
deadly
force.
G
It's
a
bifurcated
process,
so
you
have
a
cert
team
which
does
an
internal
review.
They
go
out
and
do
an
investigation
to
determine
if
policies,
procedures
and
training
were
not
adhered
to
or
were
violated.
The
fit
process,
on
the
other
hand,
is
a
criminal
investigation
to
determine
if
the
officer's
actions
were
criminal
in
nature,
they
put
together.
G
Independent
reports,
which
are
then
sent
to
the
fit
report,
is
sent
to
the
district
attorney's
office
for
review
so
that
the
district
attorney's
office
can
make
a
determination
of
whether
or
not
the
case
was
justified
or
not,
and
and
charged
either
charge
the
officer
criminally
or
if
the
case
will
go
to
what's
called
the
piffer,
which
is
the
police
fact-finding
review
process
where
an
odd
ombudsman
and
a
process
takes
place
to
review
what
happened
and
answer
questions
and
show
basically
to
the
public
what
happened?
G
We
also
implemented
a
very
timely
release
of
information.
We
we
were
and
may
still
be,
I'm
not
sure
what
a
lot
of
other
agencies
are
doing
at
this
point.
But
we
were
one
of
the
few
agencies
in
the
country
that
was
doing
a
72-hour
briefing
to
the
public,
where
we
would
release
any
body
camera
footage
we
have,
we
would
have
either
the
undersheriff
or
one
of
the
assistant
sheriffs
provide
an
overview
of
what
occurred.
We
would
answer
questions
from
the
media
and
then,
of
course,
within
48
hours.
G
We
would
release
the
name
of
the
officer
or
officers
that
were
involved.
We
have
taken
an
effort
to
build
stronger
community
relationships.
We
established
an
office
of
community
engagement
that
I'll
talk
more
about
in
a
second
and
the
sheriff's
multicultural
advisory
committee.
G
G
G
As
a
result,
we've
had
a
number
of
agencies
across
the
country
come
to
us
and
look
at
our
policy
changes.
Look
at
what
the
75
recommendations
that
we
took
and
also
see
inquire
about
how
they
could
implement
collaborative
reform
in
their
jurisdictions
and
again,
more
work
needs
to
be
done
in
this
area.
I
would
encourage
the
committee
to
go
to
this
website
and
that's
listed
here
the
link
and
you
can
pull
up
all
three
reports.
G
I
believe
it's,
the
initial
report
with
the
75
recommendations,
there's
a
second
report
that
shows
that
was
the
halfway
point.
Where
we
had.
We
had
completed
some
of
the
recommendations,
but
we
were
still
working
on
it
and
then
the
final
report
from
the
department
of
justice,
when
most
of
the
recommendations
at
that
point
had
been
completed.
I
would
encourage
you
to
take
a
look
at
those
documents
and
see
for
yourself
what
was
done
during
that
time
period.
G
We
were
one
of
the
first
agencies
in
2013,
one
of
the
first
major
police
departments,
to
establish
a
body-worn
camera
pilot
program.
We
worked
in
the
legislature
very
close
within
senator
aaron
ford
on
a
body
camera
bill
and
also
with
with
assemblyman
mumford
at
the
time
on
a
body
camera
bill.
G
As
you
can
imagine,
there
was
some
initially
some
reluctancy
among
officers.
We
had
to
go
to
collective
bargaining
with
the
unions
to
encourage
officers
to
wear
cameras.
We
were
able
to
say
if
you're
a
new
hire
you
automatically
have
to
wear
it,
but
over
the
years
since
2013.
G
G
The
community
and
the
officer
that
we
use
them
for
a
variety
of
purposes
such
as
training,
we're
able
to
show
where
mistakes
were
made
and
and
use
them
for
training
purposes,
were
you
able
to,
as
I
said,
use
them
in
our
press
conferences
when
an
incident
occurs
for
transparency
and
also
for
accountability.
Of
course,
in
2020
we
had
893
officers
that
complaints
were
made
against
them
by
citizens.
G
When
the
body
camera
footage
was
reviewed,
it
determined
that
the
the
complaints
that
were
alleged
did
not
did
not
occur,
but
by
contrast,
we
had
136
cases
where
the
body
camera
footage
actually
showed
that
what
the
complainant
said
did
occur
and
that
resulted
in
discipline
for
for
the
officers.
In
those
cases,
other
areas
of
police
reform
that
we've
been
engaged
in
our
use
of
force
policy
updates
never
stop.
As
recently
as
a
month
ago,
I
believe
we
made
some
additional
updates
to
our
policy.
G
We
had
a
duty
to
intervene
clause
in
our
policy
prior
to
ab3
during
the
special
session
and
back
in
august.
We
also
had
a
duty
to
provide
medical
assistance
and
to
place
a
person
in
a
recovery
position
which
was
added
into
our
policy.
I
want
to
say
may
of
last
year,
prior
to
the
incident
with
with
mr
floyd
the
unfortunate
incident
in
minnesota.
G
We
have
mandatory
training
on
ethics,
values,
bias
based
policing
and
discrimination.
We've
also
implemented
training
on
discrimination
in
the
workforce.
G
We
have
an
early
intervention
program
that
we
call
blue
team
which
allows
supervisors
to
monitor
use
of
force
by
officers
and
see
if,
if
there's
trends
that
are
occurring
so
that
early
action
can
be
taken
to
mitigate
that,
we
also
recently
created
a
new
policy
for
protests
and
civil
unrest.
We
learned
a
lot
of
lessons
I'll
get
in.
G
I
have
a
slide
on
that
that
I'll
get
into
in
a
minute,
but
we
learned
a
lot
of
lessons
over
the
past
year
and
in
regards
to
protests
and
civil
unrest,
and
so
we've
created
a
new
policy
to
help
us
do
a
better
job
at
that.
We've
also
implemented
stronger
criteria
for
our
field,
training,
officers
and
supervisors.
G
We
have
our
you
support,
board
members,
citizens
that
actually
come
out
to
use
of
forced
scenes,
and
I
see
for
themselves
the
the
scene
and
what
occurred
we
removed
the
lvnr
neck
restraint
from
our
policy.
I
believe
we'd
actually
we're
taking
steps
to
do
that
prior
again
to
ab3.
During
the
special
session,
we
have
a
stronger
criteria
for
our
field
training
officers.
We
have
use,
of
course,
statistical
report
that
is
on
lvmp
lvmpd.com.
G
I
would
encourage
the
committee
to
go
to
lpmpd.com.
You
will
find
a
lot
of
information
there,
including
our
after
action
report
regarding
the
protests,
our
use,
annual
use
of
force
report
that
comes
out
just
a
ton
of
information
that
will
be
helpful
to
you.
Our
budget
is
on
lvmpd.com
and
then
we
also
established
our
body,
worn
camera
policy
and
compliance
report,
we're
able
to
monitor
compliancy
of
officers
turning
on
their
body
cameras
and
if
an
officer
is
non-compliant,
we're
able
to
identify
that
and
again
take
measures
for
accountability
to
ensure
accountability.
G
We
established
a
behavioral
health
unit,
which
is
made
up
of
a
number
of
officers
that
monitor
legal
2000s
and
mental
health
issues.
We've
also
partnered
with
some
clinicians
on
that,
and
then
we
are
in
the
process
through
some
private
funding,
of
building
a
regional
training
facility.
It's
currently
under
construction.
The
goal
of
that
is
to
provide
the
state-of-the-art
training
on
de-escalation
and
reducing
use
of
force.
G
That
facility
is
does
under
construction,
and
when
it's
done,
we
hope
that
it
will
be
a
facility
that
it
can
be
used
statewide
by
a
number
of
agencies.
I
believe
it's
like
80
different
agencies
that
have
shown
an
interest
in
using
that
facility
and
partnering
with
us.
Once
once
it's
completed,
our
office
of
community
engagement
was
established
to
support
the
department's
commitment
to
building
relationships
with
the
community.
G
It
focuses
on
outreach
and
engagement
and
education.
It
expands
every
officer
when
they
go
through,
training
is
taught
about
the
community
policing
model
and
the
community
policing
process
you
know
get
out
in
your
community.
Get
out
of
the
car
meet
people
face
to
face
meet
your
business
owners
walk
streets,
you
know
after
incidents,
we
encourage
officers
to.
G
We
have
a
policy
where,
if
we
have
a
major
incident,
such
as
a
barricade
in
your
neighborhood
and
and
some
of
the
houses
get
evacuated,
we
encourage
officers
to
go
door
to
door
and
knock
on
the
door
and
explain
to
citizens
what
happens
so.
People
see
an
officer's
face
and
they
know
what
occurred
when
you
know.
Obviously,
when
time
and
resources
permit
and
the
community
engagement
unit
just
expands
on
the
traditional
community
policing
model.
G
I
know
just
recently
the
community
engagement
unit
assisted
the
mexican
consulate,
with
some
training
for
on
one
side
for
officers,
changes
to
the
the
car,
the
cards
that
are
issued
in
in
mexico
for
consulates
to
recognize
and
and
know
that
those
are
valid
when
they
see
them
and
also
training
for
the
consulate
on
some
things
that
we
see
that
could
help
members
of
the
mexican
community,
so
we're
always
engaged
with
the
faith-based
community
as
well,
some
of
the
community
and
pro
some
of
the
community
programs.
G
I'm
sorry,
I'm
trying
to
talk
fast
and
I
get
tongue-tied,
but
some
of
the
programs
that
we
have
that
we've
had
some
of
these
for
many
years
is
number
one.
Our
first
tuesday
program
every
first
tuesday
of
the
month,
the
area
commands
are
open
where
you
can
go
to
the
area
command
in
your
jurisdiction
and
you
can
meet
with
the
captain
that
runs
that
area
command.
You
can
meet
with
the
officers.
You
can
bring
up
issues
that
you
have
in
your
neighborhoods.
G
You
can
get
to
know
the
officers
face
to
face
and
those
are
a
great
opportunity
to
find
out.
They
usually
have
a
presentation
where
they
talk
about
crime
trends.
We
we
have
the
crime
stoppers
program
which
we're
engaged
in.
We
have
our
citizens
police
academy,
which
I
know
chairman
yeager
has
taken
part
in
and
our
we
have
a
hispanic
citizens
police
academy.
Also
that's
conducted
in
in
spanish.
G
We
have
our
explorer
program:
neighborhood
watch
our
honor
guard,
multicultural
advisory
committee
and
from
intervention
just
to
name
a
few,
the
every
15
minutes
program,
which
probably
because
of
covet,
I
believe
every
15
minutes
was-
has
probably
not
been
done
over
the
last
year.
G
But
that
program
was
also
very
effective
where
we
go
to
schools
and
we
show
the
kids
the
the
results
of
dui
driving
and
how
what
a
negative
impact
that
can
have
on
on
your
life
and
and
help
instill
some
good
decision
making
in
our
in
our
youth
that
might
steer
them
away
from
that
type
of
behavior.
G
I'm
going
to
talk
briefly
about
diversity.
This
is
an
area
that
we
need
to
do
better
in,
but
when
it
comes
to
local
government,
we
are
again,
I
believe,
very
progressive
in
this
area.
We,
our
agency,
has
active
recruiting
going
on
because
of
covid
we've.
We
have
two
full-time
recruiters,
but
because
of
covid,
we've
had
to
switch
more
to
social
media
type
recruiting,
but
our
recruiters
are
actively
engaged
in
specifically
trying
to
get
members
of
the
minority
community
to
become
police
officers.
G
To
be
honest,
it's
getting
harder
to
find
anyone
to
be
who
wants
to
become
a
police
officer
nowadays,
let
alone
members
of
specific
communities.
So
so
it's
a
chat
challenge
for
us.
We
currently
the
numbers
you
see
there
are
our
current
numbers,
we're
about
33
percent
female,
about
19
hispanic,
10
percent.
Black
six
percent
asian
asian
is
very
under
represented
on
our
agency,
we're
we're
making
every
effort
to
try
to
fix
that,
but
I
think
there's
some
cultural
issues.
G
There,
distrust
of
law
enforcement
that
result
in
that,
but
that's
an
area
where
we're
focused
on.
In
addition
to
the
other
areas
we
have,
the
sheriff
has
a
hispanic
recruitment
council,
a
black
and
asian
his
recruitment
council,
and
also
we
use
the
black
police
officers
association
to
help
us
the
explorers
program
to
help
us
try
to
recruit
it's
it's
a
work
in
progress
and
we're
desperately
trying
to
get
there.
G
Our
diversity
section
submits
a
report
to
the
the
eeoc
regarding
our
diversity
and,
of
course,
as
an
agency
when
our
numbers
don't
match
the
population.
We
have
to
answer
for
that.
So
it
is
something
that
we're
very
cognizant
of,
and
it's
something
that's
important
to
the
community
and
we're
working
hard
to
to
get
those
numbers
looking
better.
G
I
know
it
was
mentioned
by
the
judges
earlier
and
I'm
not
going
to
go
into
much
detail
other
than
to
say
that
we
have
a
policy
where,
whenever
possible,
officers
are
who
encounter
juveniles
in
delinquent
situations
or
even
specific
crimes
that
we're
trying
to
divert
those
juveniles
into
other
systems
instead
of
the
detention
center
or
incarceration
that
we
work
closely
with
the
harbor
with
the
family,
justice
court,
family
justice
center
to
get
juveniles
diverted
out
of
the
out
of
those
into
those
programs
and
and
out
of
the
jail.
G
So
our
policy
says
that
whenever
possible,
we
don't
arrest
juveniles,
we
get
them
into
the
detention
center.
Now
with
that
being
said,
you
know,
like
I
said,
sometimes
there's
there's
no
choice
in
the
matter.
I
think
our
numbers
last
year
were
about
3
000,
juvenile
arrests
that
we
made
during
2020..
G
But
again
a
lot
of
work
needs
to
be
done
there,
but
we're,
I
think,
we're
making
progress
in
that
area.
I
want
to
talk
really
quick
about
emergency
vehicle
operation
reform
back.
I
think
it
was
20.
It
was
20,
2009
2010.
I
was
up
here
at
the
legislative
session,
so
it
was
2009.
2009.
G
We
had
a
number
of
officers
who
lost
their
lives
in
traffic
accidents
and
we
we
took
an
initiative.
We
realized
that
there
was
some
cultural
problems
there,
officers
driving
too
fast
for
conditions
above
the
speed
limit
officers,
not
wearing
seat
belts.
There
was
this
mindset
out
there
that
if
you
wore
your
seat
belt,
you
wouldn't
be
able
to
get
out
the
car
fast
enough
and
you
were
gonna
get
killed
and
obviously
there
was
no
evidence
or
data
to
support
that.
So
we
made
the
effort
to
try
to
change
that
culture.
G
In
the
agency
we
implemented
a
program
called
365
alive,
which
was
a
daily
when
officers
met
in
the
briefing
room.
It
was
a
daily
push
to
instill
in
them
that
you
have
to
wear
your
seatbelt,
slow
down.
If
you
don't
arrive
on
the
call
you
can't
assist
on
the
call
and
we
we
took
a
lot
of
measures
to
change
officers,
driving
patterns
and,
as
a
result,
we
saw
34
percent
decrease
in
officer
involved,
collisions
in
2013.
Our
agency
received
the
saferway
award
after
41
reduction
in
vehicle
pursuits.
G
We
changed
our
vehicle
pursuit
policy
to
limit
when
officers
pursue,
and
we
also
were
recognized
by
the
national
institute
for
occupational
safety
and
health.
G
Mental
illness
is
a
huge
issue
for
our
agency.
As
I
alluded
to
earlier,
we
we've
taken
steps
to
try
to
build
a
mental
health
unit.
Resources
are
always
an
issue.
Our
crisis
intervention
teams
with
currently
every
officer
that
goes
through
the
academy
receives
cit
training.
G
We
provide
referrals
to
a
number
of
agencies
that
assist
with
mental
health.
We
it's
a
40
hour
course
that
the
officers
go
through.
We
about
handle
about
30
000
calls
a
year
related
to
the
mentally
ill
and
again,
whenever
possible,
we
want
to
divert
people
to
resources
that
can
help
them
versus
incarceration.
G
So
it's
again
an
area
that
that
needs
more
work
in
our
2019
budget.
We
proposed
building
that
mental
health
unit
that
I
spoke
of
currently
has
four
officers,
two
corrections
officers
and
a
clinician
and
a
case
manager.
We
monitor
legal
2000s
to
identify
chronic
cases,
and
then
we
provide
follow-up
and
referral
services.
G
When
we
identify
those
chronic
cases,
we
coordinate
with
services
in
ccdc
and
other
community
stakeholders
to
try
to
get
people
the
help
and
treatment
they
need
and
then
again
the
goal
is
to
prevent
incarceration
and
prevent
violent
encounters,
because
we
we
have
noticed
that
some
of
our
use
of
force
incidents
unfortunately
involve
individuals
with
mental
health
issues
who
are
in
crisis.
So
this
is
a
key
area
that
we're
we're
trying
to
to
fix
in
our
communities.
G
Homelessness
is
another
challenge
that
we
face
on
a
daily
basis.
Last
year
we
had
twenty
thousand
four
hundred
and
sixty
two
contacts
with
homeless
individuals
in
clark
county.
We
were
able
to
get
services
to
about
6213
of
those
individuals.
G
We
actually
success
story
working
with
our
partners.
We
were
able
to
get
760
people
off
the
street
and
into
some
form
of
housing.
We
have
a
team
called
the
moore
team,
which
is
a
mobile
outreach
team.
We
have
eight
officers
assigned
to
that.
They
receive
special
training.
Their
goal
is
not
enforcement,
but
it's
helping
people
get
treatment.
I
know
that
about
a
two
years
ago.
Now
I
believe
it
was.
G
There
was
a
city
ordinance
that
was
passed
about
sleeping
on
the
sidewalk
and
a
lot
of
concerns
and
questions
came
in
to
our
agency
that
we
were
going
to
go
out
and
just
round
people
up
that
were
sleeping
on
the
sidewalk
and
take
them
to
jail.
We
that's
not
something
that's
been
done.
Our
goal
again
is
to
get
people
off
the
street
and
get
them
help.
Enforcement
is
always
a
last
resort
and
then
talk
briefly
about
the
clark
county
detention
center.
G
We
drop
down
those
of
you
who
remember
the
presentation
from
last
legislative
session.
Our
numbers
were
over
four
thousand.
We
were
at
maximum
capacity.
We
have
dropped
down
to
the
current
nut.
This
sheet
says
2940.
G
I
believe
the
document
that
I
looked
at
this
morning
from
the
detention
center
showed
2861
is
our
current
occupancy
level.
We
average
around
55
958
bookings
a
year.
Our
bookings
have
decreased
by
over
13
since
2007.,
even
prior
to
the
ban
pandemic,
our
numbers
of
bookings
were
trending
down.
We
have
a
policy
in
place
that
misdemeanor
bookings
that
are
not
mandatory
in
nature,
such
as
dui
or
domestic
violence,
that
they
need
supervisor
approval
to
book
on
those
cases
and
arrests
must
be
necessary.
G
G
54
of
our
bookings
are
felonies
5
gross
misdemeanor
and
39
percent.
Misdemeanor
average
daily
population
is
about
85
percent
felony.
G
We
engage
in
a
number
of
alternatives
to
incarceration
again.
If
you
saw
this
presentation
last
legislative
session,
our
numbers
for
offenders
who
are
on
electronic
monitoring
program
has
almost
has
over
doubled.
I
believe
I
don't
remember
what
the
numbers
were
last
session,
but
I
think
it
was
like
three
or
four
hundred
and
obviously
now
we're
up
to
943.
G
Part
of
that
has
been
due
to
the
pandemic
and
us
getting
more
resources
available
from
the
courts
to
put
more
people
out
on
electronic
monitoring.
We
also
partner
with
hope
for
prisoners,
veterans,
administrations,
social
security,
administration.
G
We
worked
with
senator
tick
sieger
bloom,
a
few
sessions
back
before
he
left
the
senate
on
sb
268,
which
allows
us
to
assist
inmates
with
getting
id
cards
when
they're
released
from
the
facility
so
that
they
can
cash
checks
or
seek
employment,
and
then
we
have
a
service
provider
contract
with
re-entry
specialists
that
meet
with
every
inmate
and
assist
them
once
they're
about
to
be
released
with
re-entry
into
into
the
community
because
of
covid19.
I
it's
unfortunate
that
I
have
to
say
that
all
of
our
in-person
programs
have
been
suspended.
G
We
still
have
some
virtual
programs
that
inmates
can
participate
in.
We
have
on
average
about
6827
inmates
a
year
that
participate
in
these
programs
that
include
adult
education,
anger
management,
alcohol
and
narcotics,
anonymous
religious
programs,
coping
with
ptsd
and
a
number
of
other
courses.
G
The
sheriff
also
is
responsible
for
the
las
vegas,
township
constables
and
also
the
sheriff's
civil
bureau.
The
pandemic
had
significantly
impacted
the
number
of
evictions
that
constables
did
over
2020.
As
you
can
see,
evictions
went
down
83
percent
due
to
the
moratorium
on
evictions.
They
handled
27,
000
cases
and,
in
those
cases,
in
addition
to
evictions,
include
handling
complaints
of
abandoned
vehicles,
risks
of
execution,
garnishment
of
wages
and
and
other
civil
type
matters,
and
then
the
sheriff's
civil
process
also
covers
all
of
clark
county.
G
They
serve
protection,
orders
for
domestic
violence,
stalking
and
harassment
they
handle
about
9
000
cases
a
year.
We
have
a
robust
volunteer
program
at
metro.
We
have
about
500
volunteers
that
volunteer
over
160
000
hours.
I
can't
say
enough
about
these
men
and
women.
They
are
really
selfless
people
they
if
you've
ever
come
into
the
headquarters.
They
work
in
the
front
lobby.
Greeting
people
that
come
in
they
issue
visitor
badges.
They
go
to
our
first
tuesday
events.
G
They
go
to
community
events,
they're
they're,
just
great
people
all
in
all,
and
we
can't
there's
a
lot
of
things
we
couldn't
do
as
an
agency
without
them
the
explorer
program.
G
Also,
our
numbers
have
suffered,
I
believe,
because
of
the
pandemic
here,
but
it's
a
program
for
our
youth
to
try
to
get
kids
interested
in
law
enforcement
and
maybe
take
them
down
a
career
path
of
law
enforcement
show
them
that
the
police
are
not
the
bad
guys
and
and
show
them
what
law
enforcement
does,
and
it's
been
a
very
successful
program.
We
also
use
that
program
for
some
of
our
recruiting
purposes.
G
G
There
was
a
it
was
the
leading
cause
of
law
enforcement
death
over
145
deaths.
You
know
as
essential
workers
when
other
people
had
the
ability
to
work
from
home
or
the
ability
to
stay
home,
or
some
unfortunately,
obviously
were
laid
off
from
their
jobs
and
that
and
that's
horrible
the
officers
out
there.
They
you
know
we,
our
job,
involves
encountering
the
public
and
going
out
and
dealing
with
situations.
They
don't
have.
The
luxury
of
working
from
home.
G
So,
as
a
result
of
that,
we
had
a
number
of
officers
that
contracted
kobit,
we
did
have
two
employees
that
we
lost
last
year,
a
lieutenant
and
a
a
psr,
a
service
representative
that
we
lost,
but
we
also
in
addition.
Last
year
across
the
country
there
were
144
officers
killed
in
the
line
of
duty,
we're
seeing
a
trend
across
the
country
of
attacks
on
officers.
45
suspects
were
killed
with
or
45
officers,
rather
were
killed
by
suspects
with
firearms.
G
We're
also
seeing
violent
crime
uptick
slightly.
Our
overall
violent
crime
is
down
4.5
compared
to
2016,
but
when
compared
to
2019,
we
saw
a
slight
uptick
in
murder.
I
believe
we
had
three
murders
more
this
this
last
year
than
we
had
the
previous
year,
and
we
also
saw
a
slight
uptick
in
aggravated
assaults.
G
We
also,
as
some
of
the
previous
slides,
showed.
We
continue
to
struggle
with
social
issues
such
as
mental
health,
substance
abuse
homelessness.
Unfortunately,
law
enforcement
is
often
the
front
line
on
these
issues
and
our
homeland
security
threat
is
evolving.
G
We're
seeing
increase
in
domestic
terrorism-related
activity,
which
has
obviously
changed
the
focus
of
law
enforcement
from
some
of
the
threats
we
had
that
are
still
threats,
but
some
of
the
threats
we
focused
on
in
previous
years,
with
isis
and
foreign
foreign-born,
terrorism
versus
domestic
terrorism
and
then,
of
course,
something
we're
constantly
struggling
with
and
and
we
work
to
try
to
rectify,
is
public
trust
and
negative
media
and,
as
we
all
know,
it
only
takes
one
person.
G
That's
a
bad
apple
somewhere
in
the
united
states
to
undo
years
of
relationship
building
that
has
been
done
and
years
of
community
engagement
that
has
been
done
can
be
literally
wiped
away
with
the
actions
of
one
individual,
and
I
believe
we
saw
a
lot
of
that
this
last
year.
Unfortunately,
since
during
2020,
our
agency
handled
318
protests,
like
I
said
earlier
in
when
this
initially
started,
I
I
think
that
there
was
a
mindset
that
our
community
would
not
see
violent
protesting.
G
I
think
that
there
was
a
mindset
that
we
had
had
been
working
good
with
the
community
and
had
good
community
relationships
and,
as
I
said
previously,
there
are
always
always
ways
we
can
improve,
but
I
I
think
that
we
assumed
that
it
wasn't
going
to
happen
in
las
vegas
and
and
obviously
we
did
see
some
violent
protests
early
on
the
vast
majority
of
these
protests
that
we
saw
were
peaceful.
The
vast
majority
of
of
people
that
attended
them
were
were
exercising
their
first
amendment
rights
and
and
acting
peacefully.
G
G
We
had
laser
lights,
shined
in
officer's
eyes
and
a
number
of
other
things
we
had
one
of
our
patrol
cars
there
in
the
picture
you
can
see
was
set
on
fire.
We
had
seven
vehicles
damaged
overall
and
we
made
404
arrests
again.
Most
of
those
arrests
occurred
early
on
in
the
first
few
weeks
of
protesting
as
time
progressed.
G
We
we
got
better
at
addressing
the
protests
and
we
made
a
better
effort
of
reaching
out
to
protest
organizers,
to
communicate
with
them
and
to
mitigate
any
bad
apples
that
might
have
jumped
in
with
the
protesters
and
might
be
trying
to
cause
problems,
and,
as
a
result
of
that,
we
saw
these
protests
become
more
peaceful
and
less
incidents
occur.
G
We
released
an
after
action
report
on
this.
It's
available
again
on
our
website.
I
would
encourage
you
to
take
a
look
at
it.
When
you
have
time,
we
also
completely
revamped
and
updated
our
protest
policy.
We
met
with
community
stakeholders
after
some
of
the
first
protests,
and
we
listened
to
their
concerns
about
how
our
officers
responded
to
the
protests
and
I
think
a
lot
of
that.
A
lot
of
those
concerns
are
reflected
in
in
the
changes
that
were
made
to
our
policy
basic
crime
statistics.
G
Like
I
said
we
had
a
slight
in
uptick
in
murders,
99
murders,
12,
actually
12
more
than
2019.
We
had
a
hundred
and
118
sexual
assaults.
G
You
can
see
the
numbers
here,
I'm
trying
to
go
quickly,
so
I
won't
read
through
all
of
them,
but
overall
again,
while
most
of
the
country
saw
a
40
percent
increase
on
average
of
violent
crime,
our
numbers
don't
reflect
that
significant
of
an
increase
in
violent
crime
and
overall,
our
numbers
show
a
decrease
13
percent
in
crime
overall
from
2019,
and
I
think
that's
a
reflection
of
the
men
and
women
who
are
out
there
on
a
daily
basis
and
who
are
addressing
these
issues.
G
As
many
of
you
probably
heard
on
the
news,
we
had
an
uptick
in
crime
along
in
our
resort
corridor
on
the
strip.
G
We
focused
resources
in
that
area
and,
as
a
result,
we
got
over
551
illegal
guns
off
the
street
from
the
strip,
and
we
made
a
number
of
arrests
and
and
we've
since
seen
the
strip
become
a
much
safer
place.
It's
it's.
It's
absolutely
safe
for
people
to
go
down
there
and
visit
us
and
and
spend
time
on
the
strip,
but
we
also
saw
that
a
number
of
those
individuals
that
were
there
causing
problems
were
coming
in
from
california
or
other
states.
G
I
believe
it
was
close
to
40
percent
of
the
people
that
we
ultimately
arrested
that
were
causing
problems
during
that
time
period
were
actually
not
nevada
residents,
but
had
come
here
to
either
escape
pandemic
restrictions
in
their
own
states,
and
they
thought
they
could
come
to
nevada
and
cause
havoc
or
whatever,
but
we,
I
think
the
men
and
women
out
there
on
the
strip
did
a
great
job
of
reducing
some
of
the
crime
trends.
We
were
starting
to
see
there.
G
Finally,
I'll
close
with
this,
don't
take
my
word
for
it.
I
encourage
you
all
to
come.
Do
ride-alongs
with
us
get
a
hold
of
me.
I
know
during
the
session
it's
almost
impossible,
but
after
session
reach
out
to
me,
I
will
get
you
into
black
and
white
out
in
an
area
command,
preferably
on
a
busy
shift
on
a
friday
night
or
saturday
night.
So
you
can
see
firsthand
the
types
of
calls
that
our
officers
have
to
handle
what
they,
the
men
and
women
go
through
on
our
agency
get
involved
in
our
lisa
cat.
G
Our
citizens
police
academy
see
firsthand
what
our
officers
are
being
taught,
what
they're
being
trained
take
a
tour
of
the
jail.
Take
a
tour
of
the
fusion
center
take
a
tour
of
our
crime
lab.
I
encourage
you
to
do
that
and
I'm
here
to
assist
you
with
that
and
again
I
each
of
these
slides.
We
could
probably
talk
for
a
full
day
on
each
slide.
G
A
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
calloway.
I'm
going
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
a
break,
because
what
I'm
going
to
do
just
to
make
sure
we
get
through
mr
spratly's
slides,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
the
office,
the
overview
of
nevada,
sheriffs
and
chiefs
association,
and
then
what
we'll
do
is
take
questions
for
both
of
you
after
that.
So
without
further
ado.
H
First
of
all,
on
behalf
of
the
association,
we
would
like
to
congratulate
each
of
you
on
winning
or
retaining
your
seat,
and
we
know
that
having
you
chosen
to
represent
your
district
in
the
nevada
legislature
is
a
big
deal
and
that
you
will
represent
the
voice
of
the
people.
Well,
mr
chairman,
just
as
a
point
of
order,
you
guys
have
my
slides.
H
I
just
have
a
couple
of
them,
and
you
also
have
my
talking
points,
so
I
can
just
gloss
over
those
and
and
go
over
this
in
just
like
two
minutes
hitting
the
highlights.
If
you'd
like.
A
H
So,
just
real,
quick,
the
nevada,
sheriffs
and
chiefs
is
not
a
new
organization
been
around
since
1953..
H
In
the
mid
70s,
they
became
a
501
c
6,
non-profit
association
and
the
you
know
the
goal
of
it
is.
This
is
not
a
good
old
boys
club,
it's
very
inclusive.
It's
not
just
sheriffs.
It's
not
just
chiefs
of
police,
we're
one
of
three
organizations
nationally
that
are
sheriffs
and
chiefs
combined
associations,
but
we
have
folks
from
leadership
from
state
departments
and
and
just
a
variety
of
law
enforcement
agencies
in
the
organization.
H
So
you
just
wanted
to
impress
that
with
you,
and
I
wanted
to
make
note
that
the
sheriffs
and
chiefs
is
not
just
the
rurals
in
in
that
you're,
going
to
find
that
when
that
you
want
to
discuss
something
regarding
law
enforcement,
it's
going
to
be
recommended
that
you
talk
to
chuck
with
metro
you're,
going
to
talk
to
washoe
and
then
for
the
rurals
you're
going
to
talk
to
sheriffs
and
chiefs,
and
we
actually,
as
you'll,
see
in
the
talking
points.
H
I
will
share
my
screen
just
real
quick,
so
you
can
have
the
slides.
Let
me
just
push
that
up
here
and
share.
H
F
H
Just
going
to
point
out
on
our
organizational
chart
that
it,
you
know,
we
have
a
lot
of
members,
but
it's
not
a
lot.
Numerically,
we
only
have
about
150
members,
and
only
the
the
ceos
of
the
law
enforcement
agencies
are
the
voting
members
and
then
again
that
your
sheriff
and
your
local
chief
of
police
are
members
in
our
association
and
all
of
those
agency
leaders.
H
They
lead
about
11,
000
sworn
law
enforcement
officers
in
the
state
of
nevada
and
many
more
times
that
civilian
personnel
that
make
up
the
great
public
safety
effort
throughout
nevada.
Also,
you
know
in
my
talking
points
on
like
page
four
or
something
you're
going
to
see
that
it's.
I
guess
I
wasn't
trying
to
be
funny,
but
if
you
have
a
railroad
going
through
your
jurisdiction,
they
have
a
representative
organization
a
highway.
The
higher
patrols
are
represented
in
our
organization,
you
have
any
public
lands.
The
chief
ranger
is
a
member
of
our
association.
H
Specifically,
we
have
17
elected
nevada,
sheriffs
and
around
40
chiefs
of
police
throughout
nevada,
as
well
as
a
large
number
of
law
enforcement
agency,
executives
and
leaders
from
a
wide
variety
of
state,
local
tribal
and
even
some
federal
partners
and,
like
I
said
those
150
members
supervise
11
000
sworn
law
enforcement
officers
and
as
a
point
of
clarification,
you
will
have
like
vegas,
metro
and
washoe
and
us
we
are
representing
law
enforcement
leadership
and
then
you,
you
also
have
law
enforcement
union
representation.
H
Now
we're
aligned
on
a
large
amount
of
policy
decisions
that
come
from
the
legislative
branch,
but
some
of
them.
We
don't
always
agree
on
in
any
of
those
that
affect
our
leaders,
ability
to
lead
the
departments
or
manage
effectively.
We
might
not
be
aligned,
so
you've
got
law
enforcement
management
and
you've
got
law
enforcement,
labor
or
union.
H
So
don't
get
confused.
If
you,
you
think
you
might
have
spoken
to
law
enforcement
and
you've
talked
to
me
or
chuck
or
or
somebody
from
washoe,
you
might
not
have
spoken
to
the
union
on
the
union
bill.
So
that's
the
the
bifurcation
there
on
on
those
two,
but
generally
we're
aligned
on
the
policy
issues
that
you're
bringing
forward.
H
H
We
are
a
resource
to
you
to
make
sure
that
you
can
get
your
questions
answered
if
you
have
anything
that
affects
law
enforcement,
consider
the
nevada,
sheriffs
and
chiefs
as
a
resource,
along
with
our
other
legislative
partners
in
law
enforcement.
To
help
you
get
your
questions
answered
with
that.
Mr
chairman,
I
will
take
any
questions.
A
Thank
you,
mr
spratly.
Let
me
go
to
my
screen
here.
A
couple
things
I
wanted
just
to
mention.
Mr
calloway
mentioned
this.
I
did
have
an
opportunity
to
participate
in
the
metro
citizens
police
academy
back
in
2018.
I
was
in
class
1..
I
would
certainly
recommend
it
to
members.
It
is.
A
It
is
quite
a
time
commitment,
but
I
think
whether
you're
down
in
las
vegas
or
doing
the
equivalent
program
up
here
in
washoe
county,
I
I
think
you'll
find
it
valuable
to
sort
of
see
the
day-to-day
operations
of
the
department
and
also
along
with
that.
If
you're
in
that
program,
you
get
to
do
a
ride-along,
but
of
course
you
don't
have
to
be
in
the
program
to
do
one.
I
think
right
now,
perhaps
they're
not
doing
ride-alongs,
but
once
we
get
through
covid,
I
would
certainly
recommend
doing
a
ride-along
with
an
officer
in
your
jurisdiction.
A
A
So
if
you
don't
mind
just
raising
your
hand
on
the
screen
and
I'll
go
ahead
and
put
you
down
on
the
list?
Okay,
so
right
now,
the
order
I
have
at
the
moment
would
be
assemblywoman
summers,
armstrong,
assemblywoman,
gonzalez,
assemblywoman,
cohen,
assemblywomanhansen
and
then
we'll
take
it
from
there.
So
assemblywoman
summers,
armstrong!
You
want
to
kick
us
off.
Please.
D
Thank
you
so
much
chair,
yeager.
Thank
you,
gentlemen,
for
your
presentations.
We
appreciate
the
information.
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
for
officer
callaway
since
I'm
down
in
the
south.
That's
the
area
that
I
have
the
most
personal.
You
know
interest
because
you're
in
my
jurisdiction.
My
first
question
is
you
mentioned
that
there
was
a
training
facility
that
is
privately
funded.
Could
you
please.
D
Speak
to
who
is
privately
funding
this
this
facility,
where
it
is
located.
You
said
that
many
of
the
other
jurisdictions
can
use
it,
but
why
a
privately
funded
facility
for
public
use.
G
Mr
chairman,
through
you,
two
assembly,
women,
that
is
a
great
question
ma'am
to
build
a
facility
like
that
is
very
expensive,
and
I
can
get
you
all
the
information
as
far
as
the
cost
and
the
layout
and
the
floor
plans
and
all
that
I'd
be
happy
to
provide
that
to
you.
We
actually
it's
it's
much
more
expensive
to
build
a
facility
like
that
than
what
we
can
allocate
in
our
budget,
the
city
and
county
fund
us-
and
they
just
don't-
have
the
resources
to
build.
G
A
facility
like
that
and
a
facility
of
this
nature
benefits
the
entire
community.
If
we
can
train
officers
to
decrease
our
use
of
force
and
and
de-escalate
and
interact
with
the
community
in
better
way,
and
we
can
get
state-of-the-art
training
to
our
officers,
that's
vital
to
our
community
and
so
there's
a
lvmpd
foundation,
which
is
a
private
organization
that
raises
money
for
situations
just
such
as
this,
and
the
foundation
is
actively
engaged
in
seeking
private
donations
from
a
number
of
sources.
G
If
that
makes
sense,
especially
in
a
time
where
we're
seeing
covet
impacts
on
on
our
budgets,
metro
had
to
decrease
our
proposed
budget
for
the
2021
fiscal
year
by
over
20
million
dollars,
we
had
to
eliminate
part-time
positions,
eliminate
our
mounted
patrol,
so
it
we
could
not
fund
a
facility
like
this
through
the
normal
budget
process,
so
the
foundation
is
assisting.
G
I
hope
that
answers
your
question
and
I
would
love
to
provide,
in
fact
the
entire
committee
an
overview
of
this
project
and
and
what
it
will
ultimately
do
for
our
communities.
D
So,
thank
you
officer
callaway
for
that
information.
I
can.
I
hope
that
you
can
understand
the
concern
that
I
have
that
when
we
have
private
entities
who
are
financing
a
training
facility.
That
raises
my
concern.
C
D
To
whether
or
not
the
not
the
training,
but
the
intent
is
for
the
benefit
of
the
community
or
for
that
private
entity
that
is
providing
the
funding,
and
so
I
would
really
appreciate
a
list
of
the
donors
and
and
and
what
they
are
contributing
because
for
the
community
that
I
I
represent,
we,
I
am
concerned
personally
that
we
are
doing
what
is
what
is
right
for
the
citizens
and
not
necessarily
for
those
who
actually
can
afford
to
build
a
multi-million
dollar
tens
of
million
dollars
facility.
D
My
follow-up
questions,
absolutely
my
follow-up
question.
Thank
you
to
that
is
body-borne
cameras.
D
Now
you
mentioned
that
your
officers
are
wearing
them,
that
you've
had
893
complaints,
136
of
those
you
have
found
to
be
justified
and
that
there
was
some
type
of
remedial
either
training
or
a
discipline
given
to
the
officers
who
were
found
to
have
behaved
in
a
not
so
great
behavior
with
those
136.
D
F
D
D
Thank
you
I'm
so
sorry,
so
my
concern
is
is
multiple
and
that
is
the
cost
to
obtain
body
borne
camera
footage
for
a
civilian,
the
length
of
time
and
the
complexity
of
the
process
to
obtain
this
film
and
who
is
determining
whether
or
not
an
incident
caught
on
film
is,
is
notable
enough
for
there
to
be
a
complaint.
So
if
you
could,
please
address
those
three
things.
I'd
appreciate
it.
Thank
you.
G
Sure,
absolutely,
mr
chairman,
through
you,
two
assemblywoman
summer's
armed
strong.
So
after
last
legislative
session,
the
legislature
passed
a
public
records
bill
which
was
very
robust
in
outlining
the
process
for
both
civilians
and
citizens
and
the
media
and
other
entities
to
get
access
to
public
records.
As
a
result
of
that
bill,
we
established
a
public
records
unit
at
metro
where
that's
all
they
do
is
provide
public
records
to
people
who
request
it.
G
The
law
also
that
was
put
into
effect
by
former
majority
leader
senator
ford,
also
provides
the
ability
for
someone
to
come
in
and
view
body
camera
footage
on
site.
So
there's
actually
two
processes
to
potentially
get
body.
Camera
footage
one
is
to
request
it
through
the
public
records
unit,
and
the
second
is
to
actually
come
in
and
make
an
appointment
to
sit
down
and
view
it
where
you
would
sit
at
a
console
and
you
would
watch
the
the
video.
G
The
part
of
the
time
consuming
component
is
the
the
requirement
to
redact
because,
for
example,
let's
say
I'm
an
officer
wearing
a
body
camera
and
I'm
inside
your
home
handling
a
call
for
service
and
the
neighbor
comes
over,
and
I
get
into
some
kind
of
a
situation
with
the
neighbor,
where
I
have
to
make
an
arrest
and
the
neighbor
files
a
complaint.
G
Obviously
the
fact
that
this
all
started
while
I
was
in
your
living
room,
you
have
an
expectation
of
privacy
and
there
may
be
parts
of
that-
video
which
need
to
be
redacted
to
protect
crime,
victims,
to
protect
people's
right
to
privacy
and
to
protect
juveniles
and
in
some
cases
because
of
the
laws
that
are
on
the
books.
Regarding
police
officers,
bill
of
rights,
maybe
an
officer's
face
needs
to
be
protected
or
a
person.
A
citizen's
face
needs
to
be
protected,
so
we
have
to
go
through
those
videos,
basically,
the
the
technology.
G
That's
there
is
pretty
much
you
have
to
go
through
the
video
frame
by
frame
and
redact
things
that
that
are
of
a
privacy
nature.
So
obviously,
that's
time
consuming
all
we
get
a
ton
of
requests
for
video,
the
primary
requests
we
get
for
body
camera
footage
believe
it
or
not
is
from
lawyers
for
traffic
accidents.
G
So
every
time
that
somebody
gets
in
a
mild,
fender,
bender
and
the
officer
shows
up
with
his
body
camera
footage
on
the
insurance
companies.
The
the
attorneys
that
are
representing
that
person
request
body
camera
footage
to
see
if
they
can
find
anything
in
the
video
that
might
show
that
that
either
their
client
was
not
at
fault
or
whatever.
So
we
get
a
tremendous
amount
of
requests
for
body
camera
footage
for
simple
fender
bender
accidents.
Obviously
I
believe
that
our
unit
handles
these
on,
like
a
first
come
first
serve
basis.
G
So
if
you
were
to
make
a
request
for
body
camera
footage
you
with
requests
the
redacting,
that's
involved
in
that
obviously
there's
a
time
component.
I
believe
the
statute.
I
can
verify
this
and
offline
and
get
back
to
you,
but
I
believe
the
statute
outlined
the
cost
that
agencies
are
allowed
to
charge
for
public
records.
I
believe
that
was
in
the
bill
from
last
session.
If
memory
serves
me
correctly,
so
I
hope
that
answers
your
question.
Did
I
miss
part
of
it?
If
I
did,
I
apologize.
G
I
don't
have
those
numbers
in
front
of
me,
but
again
I
can
find
it
for
you
and
again
again
the
bill
that
passed
last
legislative
session.
I
believe,
if
puts
a
timeline
where
the
department
has
to
provide
the
the
public
record
within
a
certain
time
frame
or
there's
penalties
in
the
law.
I
believe
there
was
actually
a
fine
outlined
in
the
bill
from
last
session.
A
Thank
you,
and
just
as
a
reminder
to
mr
callaway
and
mr
spratley
no
need
to
go
through
the
chair
to
answer
questions
unless
you
just
like
to
do
that.
But
if
you
could,
please
remember
to
state
your
name
each
time
you
speak,
that'll
help
our
committee
secretaries
with
preparing
the
minutes,
so
I
have
several
other
people
in
the
queue
for
questions
we'll
go
next
to
assemblywoman
gonzalez.
F
Thank
you
so
much
chair
just
for
the
record
assemblywoman
gonzalez
assembly
district
16..
I
just
had
a
question
for
officer
callaway.
F
G
Yes,
absolutely
thank
you,
assemblywoman
gonzalez
callaway,
for
the
record.
So,
as
I
said
my
presentation,
I
encourage
you
all
to
check
out
this
after
action
report
that
we
did
that's
available
on
lvmpd.com.
It
actually
has
a
copy
of
our
new
policy
in
it,
but
I
will
highlight
a
couple
of
points.
One
of
the
key
areas
that
was
a
concern
was
the
way
that
we
were
giving
a
dispersal
order.
G
So
you
have
a
protest
occurring
and,
as
I
said,
the
vast
majority
of
folks
there
are
peaceful,
but
maybe
you
have
a
couple
people
in
the
crowd
that
start
throwing
rocks
or
throwing
bottles,
and
the
commander
at
the
scene
makes
a
decision
that
two
officers
just
got
hit
in
the
head.
With
rocks
we're
going
to
declare
this
an
unlawful
assembly.
This
is
no
longer
a
peaceful
protest.
G
Our
agency
had
a
policy,
but
our
policy
was
also
somewhat
vague.
We
would
basically
read
the
dispersal
order
over
a
bullhorn
which
said
this
is
an
unlawful
assembly.
You
must
leave
theory
immediately
if
you
don't
leave
the
area
immediately
under
nrs.
Whatever
the
interest
is,
you
are
subject
to
arrest
for
violating
the
dispersal
order,
but
the
problem
was
in
some
cases,
people
couldn't
hear
the
dispersal
order.
If
you're
in
the
back
of
the
crowd,
you
couldn't
hear
it.
G
A
specific
egress
route
was
not
provided
so
people
said
we
were
given
a
dispersal
order,
but
we
couldn't.
There
was
no
place
to
go.
I
couldn't
leave
and
then
the
cops
came
and
arrested
me,
and
I
I
I
couldn't
do
anything
so
obviously
those
were
concerns
that
we
needed
to
address.
G
So
we
we
changed
the
criteria
for
given
the
dispersal
order
that
it's
given
from
multiple
locations,
the
front
of
the
crowd,
the
side
of
the
crowd
in
an
effort
so
that
everyone
can
hear
it
there's
also
in
the
policy
the
the
requirement
that
a
specific
egress
route
is
given
and
that
the
protesters
are
provided
with
where
that
egress
route
is,
for
example,
please
move
south
on
las
vegas
boulevard,
and
all
of
these
are
an
effort
to
try
to
reduce
number
one
people
getting
on
getting
arrested
for
violating
the
the
dispersal
order
when
they
couldn't
get
out
of
the
area
or
number
two
people
getting
frustrated
and
upset,
and
then
the
whole
situation
escalates
further.
G
So
that's
one
area
that
we
changed
in
the
policy.
We
also
made
a
stricter
criteria
for
deployment
of,
for
example,
pepper
spray
or
the
pepper
pepper
rounds,
the
pepper
balls
into
the
crowd,
that's
in
the
policy
restricted,
and
that
would
only
be
an
order
would
be
given
for
that
by
a
commander.
It's
again,
it's
it's
a
pretty
lengthy
policy,
but
those
are
some
of
the
highlights.
G
Another
component
is
that
the
requirement
to
reach
out
to
the
organizers
of
the
protests
and
try
to
create
a
dialogue
with
them
ahead
of
time,
so
that
everyone's
on
the
same
page
over
the
previous
years,
it's
apples
and
oranges,
but
we
were
very
successful
with
protests
such
as
the
culinary
union,
where
we
would
meet
with
culinary
union
leaders
and
they
would
tell
us
what
they
plan
on
doing.
G
You
know
hey
we're
going
to
take
over
the
roadway
or
we're
going
to
lock
arms
and
not
leave,
and
then
we
would
tell
them
what
what
would
happen
from
our
side
and
we'd
all
get
on
the
same
page
and
things
go
smooth
and
there's
less
chance
of
violence
and
and
the
policy
encourages
that
same
communication
with
leaders
who
are
putting
together
protests
or
putting
together
marches.
G
The
the
problem
we
run
into
sometimes
is
either
a
people
don't
want
to
communicate
with
us
because
they
don't
trust
us
or
b
it's
hard
to
identify
who's.
Actually,
the
person
that's
in
charge
or
the
informal
leader
who's
putting
the
group
together.
So
those
are
sometimes
challenges,
but
those
are
just
a
few
key
areas.
Again.
I'd
be
happy
to
provide
the
entire
policy
to
to
the
committee,
so
you
have
it.
F
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
callaway.
I
actually
do
have
a
follow-up
question
as
well
again:
assemblywoman
gonzalez
assembly
district
16
for
the
record.
Are
you
all
tracking
protesters
and
if
you
are,
what
constitutes
you
or
like
what
triggers
a
tracking
of
a
protester.
G
We
don't
we
don't
track
specific
protesters,
we
we
track
protest
events,
so
you
know-
and
obviously
there
there's
an
intelligence
component
to
this-
that
that,
obviously
you
know
I
can't
get
into
much
detail
about
the
intelligence
side
of
it,
but
we
do
monitor
what
events,
for
example,
on
social
media
are
being
put
out
there
that
hey
tomorrow
night,
everyone
meet
here,
sometimes
they're,
just
straightforward,
peaceful
protest,
and
then
you
know.
G
Another
thing
that
I
forgot
to
mention
is
one
of
the
lessons
we
learned
is
that
the
worst
thing
you
can
do
at
a
protest
is
especially
when
it's
a
protest.
So,
for
example,
you
have
the
culinary
union,
obviously
they're
not
protesting,
because
they're
angry
at
the
police
they're
protesting,
because
because
the
employers
aren't
providing,
you
know
the
right
benefits
to
the
to
the
members.
G
But
in
the
case
of
many
of
the
protests
we
saw
this
last
year,
the
people
are
angry
at
us
and
they
don't
like
the
police
and
they
think
that
we're
you
know
we're
engaged
in
wrongful
activity
and
they
don't
trust
us
and
they're
mad
and
they
want
justice
and
and
rightfully
so,
but
then
you're
sending
the
very
people
out
there
to
try
to
remain
to
maintain
calm
and
order
that
are
the
people
they're
mad
at
and
obviously
it's
a
recipe
for
disaster.
G
So
the
worst
thing
you
can
do
is
go
set
up
a
skirmish
line
of
officers
in
front
of
protesters.
We've
we've
learned
from
our
mistakes
and
in
most
cases,
unless
criminal
activity
starts
to
occur,
we
keep
our
officers
out
of
sight.
We
monitor
the
march.
We
monitor
the
protest
and,
and
our
goal
is,
is
also
to
make
sure
the
protesters
are
safe
because,
as
we've
seen
in
protests,
we
we-
you
might
remember
from
the
news
early
on
last
year.
G
We
stopped
the
car
that
had
some
individuals
that
I
don't
remember
their
specific
affiliation,
boogaloos
or
something,
but
they
had
explosive
devices
in
the
car
and
they
had
weapons.
In
the
vehicle-
and
obviously
they
were
on
their
way
to
the
protest
to
try
to
cause
harm
and
innocent
people
that
were
there
exercising
their
first
amendment.
Rights
could
be
caught
up
in
that.
G
So
our
goal
is
to
protect
the
public,
to
protect
the
protesters
and
to
protect
property,
especially
when
we
get
to
the
strip
where
it's
the
lifeblood
of
our
you
know
any
property
we
want
to
protect,
but
we're
in
a
pandemic
where
the
economy
is
suffering,
and
you
know,
people
violent
crime
on
the
uptick
and
then,
if
we
had,
you
know
the
strip
set
on
fire
and
burning,
obviously
that's
something
we
might
not
ever
recover
from
as
a
state
and
everything
we've
talked
about
today,
whether
it's
mental
health
resources,
whether
it's
our
schools,
are
impacted
by
that.
G
A
B
Thank
you
chair
and
hello,
mr
callaway
and
mr
spratley.
Just
a
quick.
This
is
a
real,
quick
one,
mr
callaway,
on
your
presentation
on
slide
35,
which
is
the
one
that
said
major
challenges
facing
law
enforcement.
I'm
assuming
that's
the
you
know.
Those
are
the
national
statistics.
I
was
just
a
little
confused
because
then
then
slide
36
went
to
the
protests
and
civil
disorder,
the
318
protests
since
may
2020,
that's
the
state,
I
mean
that's.
The
las
vegas
metro
slide
correct.
G
Yes,
so
similar
in
chuck
callaway
again
for
the
record,
assemblywoman
hanson,
yes,
you're,
absolutely
correct
major
challenges
facing
law
enforcement.
That's
national!
The
slide
on
protest
was
specific
to
our
jurisdiction.
Only.
A
Thank
you
assemblywoman.
I
appreciate
that
we'll
go
next
to
you,
a.
A
A
donut
will
always
do
we'll
go
next
to
assemblyman
wheeler.
F
F
I
know-
and
mr
callaway
said,
that
recruitment
problems
right
now
due
to
negative
press
and
just
kind
of
an
attitude
out.
There
is
really
affecting
some
of
the
larger
departments
and
I'm
wondering
in
the
rural
areas.
How
much
is
it?
If
is,
has
recruitment
been
effective?
F
And
what
is
your
plan,
if
so
to
try
to
make.
H
That
better,
thank
you
for
the
question:
assemblyman
wheeler
eric
spratley
for
the
record
for
the
nevada,
sheriffs
and
chiefs,
just
like
any
other
law
enforcement
agency.
Actually,
it
seems
like
in
the
nation.
Our
rural
agencies
are
hit
specifically
hard
by
the
inability
to
recruit,
and
so
we've
offered
up
our
sheriffs
and
chiefs
website.
We've
got
a
whole
network
of
of
ways
that
we're
trying
to
help
our
rural
agencies
recruit
law
enforcement
officers,
and
it
is
it's
a
you
know.
Last
year,
really
it
seemed
like
at
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic.
H
We
were,
you
know
first
responders
and
everybody
was
in
our
corner
and
then
you
know
the
tragic
events
of
some
some
criminals.
Criminal
officers
elsewhere
affected
law
enforcement
nationwide,
and
it
really
did
affect
our
ability
to
recruit
qualified
people
they're
just
choosing
to
go
into
different
businesses
and
giving
up
their
criminal
justice
degree.
And
you
know
it
just
doesn't
seem
like
it's
worth
it.
So
we
want
to
make
sure,
as
as
y'all
are
putting
together
some
good
public
policy
on
police
reform.
Like
chuck
said
we're.
H
This
business
is
always
in
a
position
of
reforming.
You
know
we
get
a
guy
that
does
something
wrong
or
policy
that
doesn't
work
or
new
technology
and
our
our
agencies
take
a
step
back.
That's
why
this
association
exists.
They
share
ideas
and
they
come
up
with
an
idea
to
reform
what
didn't
work
or
what
will
work
better
in
all
to
make
sure
that
our
officers
that
will
decide
to
join
our
law
enforcement
agencies
will
go
home
safe
at
night.
F
F
What
I'm
getting
at
mr
spratly
and
and
mr
calloway
is-
I
know
that
in
the
past
sometimes
we
have
lowered
some
standards
in
order
to
recruit
more
people.
I
don't
want
to
see
that
happen
again.
That
usually
leads
to
something
that
doesn't
work
out
very
well.
So
I
you
just
don't
have
any
plans.
As
far
as
I
know,
or
as
far
as
you
know,
I
should
say
to
lower
standards
to
bring
more
people
in.
H
Thank
you
for
that
clarification,
7,
wheeler,
eric
spratley,
nevada,
sheriffs
and
chiefs
for
the
record,
no
plans
to
lower
standards,
and
one
of
the
other
things
we
want
to
watch
for
folks
is
taking
away
the
ability
for
cops
in
nevada
to
be
able
to
do
their
job
and
survive
doing
the
job.
Now,
if
we
have
bad
apples,
we
want
them
out.
If
we
have
a
cop,
that
does
something
illegal.
H
We
want
them
out,
but
if
you
take
away
qualified
immunity,
it's
going
to
be
something
that's
talked
about,
I'm
sure
the
officer
that
does
something
in
error,
but
not
intentionally
then
can
lose
his
livelihood
his
house
his
over
over
a
something
minor
that
he
gets
sued
for
personally,
and
so
I
I
don't
think
cops
should
have
this,
this
coverage
of
of
immunity
for
all
their
their
actions.
That's
not
what
I'm
getting
at.
H
We
certainly
don't
want
that
to
happen,
but
we
need
to
make
sure
that
officers
that
created
committed
an
error,
aren't,
I
don't
know,
destroyed
because
of
it
right
so
hope
that
answers
the
question.
A
Thank
you,
and
obviously
mr
spratley-
I
don't
know,
what's
going
to
be
in
front
of
the
committee,
but
if
we,
if
and
when
we
have
any
issues
relating
to
qualified
immunity,
we'll
of
course
hear
testimony
on
those
bills
and
hear
a
lot
of
different
perspectives
before
we
would
think
about
processing,
it
so
remains
to
be
determined
what
what
might
show
up
in
committee-
as
you
all
know,
they're
still
hard
at
work
drafting
all
of
these
bills,
and
I
think
we
should
see
some
more
bills
in
the
near
future.
A
Here
we
have
a
little
bit
of
time
left
still
and
I'm
going
to
go
to
assemblyman
o'neal.
Although
I'm
going
to
mention
that
assemblyman
o'neill
mentioned
a
couple
different
questions
in
the
chat
one,
including
the
proposed
state
laboratory
but
assemblymania.
I
would.
I
would
ask
you
to
hold
that
question,
because
I
don't
think
we're
going
to
be
debating
that
policy
this
session.
So
I'd
ask
you
to
take
that
one
offline.
But
if
you
want
to
ask,
I
believe
it
was
mr
callaway.
Your
second
question
you
had
about
cares
funding.
Please
go
ahead.
B
B
G
Yes,
sir
chuck
callaway
for
the
record
to
assemblyman
o'neill,
so
first
of
all,
metro
did
not
receive
any
direct
care
funding
care
funding
came
to
the
city
in
the
county,
I
believe,
and
obviously
those
entities
fund
us.
My
understanding
is
that
we
received
some
funding
to
reimburse
us
for
ppe
equipment
that
was
purchased
and
there
was
also
some
funding
to
pay
for
a
special
investigative
unit
to
do
enforcement
of
certain
businesses
that
were
not
complying
with
the
governor's
restrictions
other
than
that.
I'm
not
aware
of
of
any
cares
funding
that
our
agency
received.
B
Thank
you
chair.
It's
good
to
see
both
of
you
here
today.
Speaking
on
law
enforcement,
I
just
had
a
question
from
mr
callaway.
You
said
there
are
about
3
300
officers
currently
and
serving
about
2
million
residents.
Are
you
currently
recruiting?
Do
you
have
money
in
the
budget
for
more.
C
B
G
G
Metro
has
lagged
below
that
for
for
years
as
a
result
of
the
more
cops
sales
and
use
tax
which
was
implemented
years
ago,
and
then
also
enabled
for
the
county
commission
back
in
2013
and
also
the
crime
prevention
act,
which
was
done
in
a
special
session,
along
with
the.
G
Stadium,
those
two
avenues
have
helped
us
reach
the
2.0
officers
per
thousand
ratio.
We
finally
got
there
before
the
pandemic.
We
had
several
academies.
I
believe
we
hired
close
to
900
officers
with
with
that
revenue
which
got
us
to
the
two
officers
per
thousand
prior
to
the
pandemic.
Everything
was
going
good.
We
had
academies
scheduled
once
the
pandemic
hit.
We
realized
that
funding
was
going
to
be
an
issue.
G
We
were
going
to
see
a
potential
decrease
in
officers,
so
we
wanted
to
get
those
officers
through
an
academy
and
out
on
the
street
because
those
academies
were
already
funded,
so
we,
we
did
have
several
academies
during
the
summer
during
the
pandemic,
but
in
december
I
believe
we
instituted
a
hiring
freeze
and
then,
like
I
said,
unfortunately,
we
had
to
cut
20
million
dollars
from
our
proposed
budget.
G
We
had
to
let
go
part-time
employees
we've
we're
starting
to
eliminate
positions
at
this
time,
primarily
civilian
positions
where,
if
someone
retires
or
someone
leaves
we're
we're
just
not
going
to
fill
those
positions
currently
until
revenue
starts
to
come
back
to
support
them
in
some
cases,
we
may
eliminate
commission
positions.
If,
for
example,
I
said
we
disbanded
the
mounted
unit,
so
we
to
in
a
long-winded
way
to
answer
your
question-
we're
currently,
okay,
we
don't.
G
I
don't
believe
that
we're
going
to
be
running
any
immediate
academies
that
I'm
aware
of
right
now,
but
hopefully
our
revenue
will
improve
and
we'll
be
able
to
to
get
back
and
maintain
that
2.0
per
thousand
ratio.
A
Director
calloway,
I
had
a
couple
members,
ask
me
a
clarifying
question
and
I
wasn't
sure
so
I'm
going
to
ask
you
in
one
of
your
slides
or
one
of
the
presentation
points
you
had
mentioned
arrests
for
misdemeanors
and
needing
to
get
some
kind
of
approval,
and
I
think
the
clarifying
question
was
just
on
on
duis
and
domestic
violence
cases.
When
the
arrest
happens,
you
know,
as
the
crime
is
happening
or
right
afterwards
is
there
still
in
statute.
G
Absolutely,
mr
chairman,
callaway
again
for
the
record
domestic
violence.
Dui
there
seems
like
there's
another
mandatory
one
out
there,
but
for
some
reason
my
brain's
blank.
Those
are
mandatory
arrests
per
state
law,
so
the
officer
has
zero
discretion.
You
stop
a
dui
driver.
He
goes
to
jail,
you
stop
someone
who
beat
their
wife.
They
go
to
jail.
The
misdemeanors
I
was
talking
about
was,
for
example,
your
shoplifting.
G
Your
trespass
you're
disturbing
the
peace
you're,
maybe
even
a
battery
two
guys
getting
a
fist
fight
in
a
bar
and
neither
of
them
are
hurt
very
bad
and
they
both
shake
hands
afterwards.
But
you
know
somebody
wants
to
press
charges.
Maybe
they
get
a
ticket,
nobody
gets
arrested.
So
if
an
officer
did
decide
that,
for
whatever
reason
they
needed
to
make
an
arrest.
G
For
just
an
example,
let's
say
a
person
has
been
trespassed
from
a
property
six
times
and
they're
back
again
and
the
officer
says:
I'm
gonna
give
you
a
ticket
for
trespassing
and
the
person
says:
well,
I'm
not
leaving
I'm
gonna
stay
here,
I'm
not
going
anywhere.
I
don't
care
how
many
tickets
you
give
me.
The
officer
says:
okay.
G
Well,
I'm
probably
gonna
need
to
make
an
arrest,
because
a
ticket
is
not
going
to
solve
this
problem,
they
contact
a
supervisor
and
then
the
supervisor
would
determine
yes,
an
arrest
is
warranted
or
no
an
arrest
will
not
be
made.
We're
not
going
to
put
this
person
in
the
detention
center
for
a
trespass
figure
out
another
way
to
handle
it.
So
that's
what
I
was
talking
about,
but
we're
absolutely
going
to
make
an
arrest
on
mandatory
arrest
crimes.
A
A
I
would
encourage
you
to
reach
out
offline,
and
I
can
assure
you
that
both
director
callaway
and
director
spratly
will
be
common
participants
in
the
judiciary
committee
hearings
as
we
start
hearing
policy
bills.
So
please
think
this
is
the
last
opportunity
you're
going
to
have
to
talk
to
them
and
ask
questions
and
director
callaway
director
spratley
want
to
thank
you
for
spending
part
of
your
monday
morning
with
us
and
for
sharing
information
and
answering
questions,
and
we
certainly
look
forward
to
working
with
you.
The
rest
of
the
session.
G
B
E
A
Great,
thank
you
so
much
thank
you
and
have
a
great
rest
of
the
day.
Okay
committee.
Thank
you
for
that.
I
know
it's
a
lot
of
information
to
absorb
on
a
monday
morning,
and
so
at
this
time,
we'll
close
out
the
presentations
and
we're
going
to
go
to
our
public
comment
line.
As
a
reminder,
we
will
take
up
to
30
minutes
of
public
comment.
Each
speaker
on
the
line
will
have
two
minutes
to
provide
the
public
comment.
I'm
getting
my
handy
timer
set
up
here
and
broadcast
services.
B
F
Hello,
my
name
is
erica
miniberry,
that's
e-r-I-k-a-m-I-n-a-b-e-r-r-y
for
the
record,
and
I
am
here
testifying
as
a
social
worker
and
a
low-income
single
mother.
I
first
would
like
to
say
that
you
guys
have
spent
a
lot
of
time
receiving
information
about
how
excellent
the
police
force
is
doing.
I
do
hope
that
the
equal
amount
of
time
is
being
spent
on
those
that
think
differently,
so
you
have
a
full
spectrum
of
what
is
actually
happening
with
the
police
force
in
our
state.
F
F
F
One
of
the
reasons
why
the
police
force
might
be
having
recruitment
problems
is
because
of
the
racial
disparities
about
why
there's
so
many
more
black
people
and
brown
people
that
are
incarcerated
over
white
people
and
not
a
lot
of
people
want
to
take
part
in
that
system.
So
perhaps,
if
those
issues
were
addressed,
the
recruitment
wouldn't
be
such
a
big
issue.
F
Lastly,
I
would
like
to
say
that
for
police
to
assume
that
they
have
quality
qualified
immunity
for
errors
that
equally
destroy
people's
lives,
it
is
a
bit
unfair
to
think
that
police
are
immune
from
making
mistakes.
If
I
make
a
mistake
at
my
job,
I
risk
being
fired.
There
is
no
reason
why
police
should
feel
that
they
have
job
security
when
they're
not
doing
a
good
job.
And
personally
I
got
a
speeding
ticket
on
march
17th
that
has
turned
into
a
warrant
because
I
couldn't
pay
it
and
my
license
has
been
suspended.
F
I
feel
I
should
get
qualified
immunity,
because
I
made
an
error
by
going
five
miles
over
the
speed
limit,
and
yet
my
whole
life
is
being
destroyed
because
of
that
one
mistake
that
I
made
on
march.
17Th
the
same
day
that
the
courts
were
closed
down
last
year.
That's
all.
Thank
you.
Very
much
have
a
good
day.
A
B
A
A
Thank
you
all
I
know
monday
morning,
eight
o'clock
starts
can
be
a
little
difficult,
especially
coming
off
of
super
bowl
sunday,
but,
as
you
can
see,
we
started
at
eight
because
I
suspected
the
presentations
would
take
a
little
bit
of
time
today
and
we
would
have
questions
and,
of
course
that's
how
it
played
out.
So
thank
you
again
for
all
being
here
and
engaged
terms
of
the
rest
of
this
week.
A
I
think
the
agendas
are
out,
if
not
for
the
whole
week,
then
almost
for
the
whole
week,
but
tomorrow
we'll
have
a
couple
presentations,
we'll
hear
that
gaming
control
board
presentation
that
we
were
going
to
hear
on
thursday,
but
had
to
be
rescheduled
and
then
we're
going
to
hear
from
the
district
attorney's
offices,
both
in
clark
county
and
up
here
in
washoe,
county
fast
forwarding
to
wednesday
we're
going
to
hear
presentations
from
our
two
public
vendor
offices
in
clark
and
washoe,
as
well
as
from
the
supreme
court
of
nevada
and
we're
going
to
hear
our
first
bill,
or
at
least
endeavor
to
on
wednesday
as
well.
A
That
would
be
assembly
bill
17
that
was
referenced
in
our
presentation
with
prone
probation.
So
please
be
sure
to
review
that
and
be
ready
to
ask
questions
if
you
have
any
on
wednesday.
Good
news
on
thursdays
will
be
a
nine
o'clock
start
on
thursday,
instead
of
an
8
o'clock
start.
So
you
can
put
that
down
in
your
calendar,
we'll
hear
a
presentation
on
juvenile
justice,
the
juvenile
justice
system,
victim
services
and
we're
also
going
to
hear
a
bill
that
day
and
then
friday.
A
We're
looking
at
potentially
presentation
and
a
couple
of
bills
as
well,
so
things
are
going
to
start
ramping
up
pretty
quickly.
A
Most
of
you
should
be
getting
your
bills
from
lcb,
so
I
suspect
our
workload
is
going
to
increase
in
the
judiciary
committee
and
I
would
just
ask
everyone
to
make
sure
to
try
to
stay
on
top
of
these
bills
as
much
as
you
can
and
feel
free
to
ask
questions
of
myself
or
the
vice
chair.
As
always.
So
I
think
that's,
I
think.
That's
everything
for
today
again
want
to
thank
you
all,
and
I
hope
you
have
a
good
rest
of
the
day.
I
want
to
remind
members
that,
for
today
I
believe,
starts
at
noon.
A
Make
sure
you
are
down
there
at
noon
as
I
believe
we'll
be
swearing
in
our
newest
member
of
the
assembly.
So
we
want
to
try
to
get
started
on
time,
so
everyone
have
a
great
day
I'll
see
you
tomorrow
morning
at
eight
o'clock.
This
meeting
is
adjourned.
