Reduction in crimes across categories.
Total reduction of 11% in violent crimes
-Fatal shooting of Oakland County Sheriff :
-Another fatal incident is under investigation. This was house party related.
Chief James E. White is the one giving the report.
-It's a FALSE narrative, he says, that the DPD closed MORE parks.
"lit up" in a positive way. Woods is raising questions about legal monitors and issuing tickets at protests. Green hats. White to look into it and if any impropriety on DPD's part, address it.
Barnard also talking about Deputy Chief Hayes
White praising him for his outstanding performance of his duties, high risk apprehensions of those who "don't want to be caught". He's a great leader. Aww. He's being praised by Woods.
Motion passes to this big promotion to Captain from Lt.
Congrats.
Bernard is saying she thinks they could perhaps start grooming kids to be interested at an even early age.
Pressley says it's a tough question because people move and their lives change.
Asking: is there a campaign designed for HS kids to target them? (personally I think it's a strange question)
Unfinished Business
A. BOPC Organizational Chart
A. Policy Committee Memorandum
Bernard is presenting.
Pressley says it's his final meeting as the chair.
Thanks the group for trusting him to lead the body. Says it's presented a big set of challenges but he's excited about supporting new chair and vice chair in next chapter.
Motion to suspend next week's meeting over 4th of July. Motion passes.
Woods acknowledging Pressley for his dignity and dedication. Says he went to the Supreme Court in DC and got Pressley a gavel as a present on behalf of the team.
