Councilmember Testa expressed concern regarding the <br /> number of arrests on PUSD campuses. <br /> In response to Councilmember Testa's inquiry, Chief Swing reported the diversity statistics are not <br /> available on the PPDs website but noted they have made new efforts to hire diversely and have <br /> achieved strong results.

He also noted the survey <br /> would help PPD evaluate those who have been recipients of PPD services feel about their interactions. <br /> In response to Councilmember Testa's inquiry. Chief Swing clarified PPD does not keep files on <br /> residents, there are no drones for surveillance, they do not use stingray technology, and do not use <br /> facial recognition technology. He did advise they use drone programs from other agencies in a critical <br /> incident to assist with apprehension for the safety of the community and officers. He advised PPD does <br /> use license plate readers for the apprehension of stolen vehicles and wanted subjects. <br /> In response to Councilmember Testa's inquiry. Chief Swing noted preference for seeking least harm <br /> and noted the example of the minor offense court for qualified first time juvenile offenders for non- <br /> serious offenses which diverting them from the away from the juvenile justice system. <br /> In response to Councilmember Testa's inquiry, Chief Swing clarified the CAB is a model that allows for <br /> community input with oversight resting with the City Council. Councilmember Testa commented civilian <br /> oversight should be independent and is a primary tenant of 21st Century Policing but does not feel the <br /> CAB is actual oversight. <br /> In response to Councilmember Narum's inquiries.
