What else should the Training subcommittee know? Trainers need to be from the neighborhood people that know the inns and the outs in the nuances of the community I particularly appreciate the recommendation that trainers themselves need to be diverse and representative of the community I would like to know more about how the training will promote Racial Equity Training must be paired with accountability for consistent and sustainable behavior change I believe that we need more officers than what we are coming up with for helping defuse mental health situations we also need more social workers Please train these folks by including citizens opinion Thank you so much for your time and commitment to our community Focus on ongoing efforts in the mix with point in time trainings as change takes time I'd like them trained to do their job without firearms 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% Very good Good Neutral/Unsure Not great Very concerning What are your thoughts on the recommendations from the Training subcommittee? What else should the Policies and Practices subcommittee know? What about 911 dispatchers? Are they being trained to gather information to relay to police What are you doing to stop officers from profiling black and blown people while driving? My husband is black and is pulled over disproportionately for th what about a CTR type training? I believe that's what the caller was referring to Were there any findings that changed your personal views? I'd like the REP commission to also look at the calls made to 911 by the public and if there are ways that calls for service which may be themselves based in racism can be weeded out by dispatch. Will the bias assessment be required and lead decision-making in the application process for prospective officers AND performance reviews of existing officers? Great work to the committee. Thank you. Is there thought to taking infractions out of police purview? Like traffic stops and things like that? 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% Very good Good Neutral/Unsure Not great Very concerning What are your thoughts on the recommendations from the Policies and Procedures subcommittee? What else should the School Safety subcommittee know? In a predominate white state and even school environment, having SRO is what makes many young people of color uncomfortable. This had not only been seen in high school, but students of color are also against that in higher education. There are better ways to address people rather than just placing SRO Involve students in decisions about who their SRO will be and how they are asked to interact with students, to determine what will impact positive change The issue is less the officers at the schools but that the school administration is using them improperly and calling on them to do things they shouldn't. Police shouldn't be in schools. Why not the mental health workers instead? 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% Very good Good Neutral/Unsure Not great Very concerning What are your thoughts on the recommendations from the School Safety subcommittee? Telephone Comments (transcribed): 1) Okay, thank you, before my question, given the salt lake valley has always been a gathering place for the indigenous peoples we acknowledge that this land which name for the youth tribe is the traditional ancestral homelands, of the shoshone tribe and is the crossroads for. All of the turtle island native nomads and indigenous settlers we stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters who are displaced Africans, Asians and recognize that Asian Pacific islander heritage month is this month, and we also stand in solidarity and and with the Palestinians and condemned the actions of the Israelis. My question is a bit of a twofold now that i've heard some of the policies in because I just want to get some clarity on that listening session we were just in. What my concern is is, these are trainings for the future, and is there a place that this curriculum is made public as to how the training will be informed by the curriculum. What data, what sort of is where yeah can we see the curriculum, so that the public may review it. Rather than just because I think that's something that's important that the Community, be able to. bring some feedback into that sort of policy and making i'm curious is officers are currently excuse me i'm My tmj is affecting how I speak today. Is officers know qpr training and the reason I asked this is because the majority of Much of the response and what we're seeing in our communities is that responses to neuro divergent. People often ends in the centrality and i'm curious if they're aware that qpr exists and to utilize those qpr tactics before responding when it with anything other than less than lethal for someone like that. kind of what i'm tying into that question is the recent clips of the Swedish officers that were tourists in New York City and amongst the four of them, they were able to break up a violent fight that. With their techniques of de escalation managed to. subdue those men, without any harm, like any fatal harm to them, and it seems like it was quite easy technique to execute and that there was some significant training for them to all be so coordinated, even on their personal time. 2) yeah Thank you, you had mentioned that a certain percentage of calls to police work for mental health issues, I wonder what the criteria are that you use to make that determination and if those are criteria you use when the call comes in, or only after it's been responded to thank you 3) Okay um so i'm a 40 year old one, almost 42 year old students have. an incredibly diverse school district in Dallas Texas, which was predominantly black and Brown. And we had a was Carter high school and I can tell you from my personal experience. That was a little over two decades ago. As sorrows only represented forces antagonism and a sense of internalized racism that perpetuates quite a lot of the bias that we see. That that are associated with as sorrows within the black and brown school systems and how a lot of those racist ideologies seep in and affect the quality of care and the quality of safety that our children have and the protections of a checklist policing. With that just simply can't be met without a cultural understanding of how we correct our youth and how elders within the Multi economies. Of of communities that exist here how we call in our youth and how we correct our youth. And how this way is not the way for children, children should not be policed children should not go to school in and fear this authoritarian influence around them and instill so they can get a quality education. And I disagree with having a sorrows as being a child of a family of several generations of students who've passed through the SRO system only to experience how much of my family had been affected by it. Because they were sucked in by that vortex of the school to prison pipeline, of having friends people I love who go to prison. For you know youthful folly that ends up being criminalized because there's an SRO officer there's an SRO rather than an elder right or. Not um and it bothers me that you don't have K PR and that that sorrow officers who are in our schools in a state that has such highest. numbers of youth self harm and you've completion that you don't have officers that are qpr trained. it's it's it's disturbing to note that this is the first time you're hearing of it when it's existed for quite a while. And i'm wondering why there seems to be quite a lot of reinvention of processes when there's already good stuff that works out there right and why that just not simply being incorporated in that current training. modalities it's just, we need to keep our kids safe and COP have no business in our school. Maybe surrounding perimeters and and that sort of thing, but we need to have a. You know, principles and you know ways of being able to de escalate, even in like I said in the most dangerous situations, so the evidence that we can do that to do want to. Comment from Spanish line: (Diego Munoz)(Salt Lake City)() There’s not security at RosePark school, we’d like to see a police officer there watching the kids.
