Sergeant Justin Gallimore (FCPS), with FCPS for 12 years, heavily tied in with
CSU. NET was started in 2012, they have been doing some of the pieces in
policing for almost ten years, that many departments are just starting to do.

i. 8 officers, divided in to two teams, with two dedicated to only Campus
West (partnered with CSU PD)

v. Priorities:
1. Noise and Nuisance
2. Narcotics
3. Neighborhood Safety
4. Transients

vii. CSU student referrals, Student housing call reduction and safety initiative,
suspicious persons or peeper investigations
viii. Technology with cameras, trackers, pole cameras
ix. Case examples
Questions:
Community Services officers are different than NET
8. BOARD MEMBER REPORTS
a. Melissa – attended a ride-along, Friday swing shift with Officer Chris Young.
Noticed that he could recognize citizens that he had reported on before, people
without housing or domestic calls that he knew before. Interesting that the
storage for bodycam footage has to be kept for a long time. Council is talking
about budget and that is one thing that City Council may not realize how
important the evidence is and how costly it is to store. It is important to keep
those funds in the City’s budget. Will be doing a sit-along with dispatch.
b. Body cams should be on during any encounter with a citizen, they don’t record
when driving around or at the station, but contacts with citizens are recorded.
All governed by a policy when they can be turned off and on. 30 second buffer,
it will go back 30 seconds from the time it’s turned on.
c. Todd and Aaron will be doing ride-alongs soon.
9. OTHER BUSINESS
10. ADJOURNMENT - 6:15pm Motion to adjourn by Aaron, second by Todd. Unanimous
