Title
2) We need to ensure that OPD has the resources it needs so that officers are effectively deployed and have the tools they need to discharge their responsibilities. To that end, the IT, Public Works and OPD staff along with the City Administrator are directed to develop a schedule of work to ensure that all 43 police vehicles which have not been properly equipped for use are completed no later than March 18, 2008. In additions, a schedule of work shall be developed to ensure that Shot Spotter is placed in all Sergeants' vehicles no later than March 18, 2008;
From Councilmember Reid:
Not only should a work schedule be developed to address current equipment needs, but an assessment of future equipment needs must be conducted to ensure that new hires have the necessary tools to perform their duties. Both items should be addressed by the Public Safety Committee at the March 11, 2008 meeting
