Each team is a CPT member, patrol officers and a detectives or other PD staff person 2. The team listens to the community to get a handle on what their ncerns are. • Going forward, the Chief will keep COPCAB updated on progress toward the goals. • Upcoming meetings with Villages at South Station, Mall, businesses south of the mall and the Tukwila School District. • Questions: • Will residents know who is in their district once it is determined. • New Anthony is working with Tukwila to fill in the PD and Tukwila City Hall • 6200 Southcenter Boulevard • Tukwila, WA 98188 • 206-433-1800 • Website: TukwilaWA.gov Title or Addressee Date Page 2 • COPCAB Project: • Survey Notes on John's sheet. • Good of the Order • Jan — Is Tent City 3 coming to Church By the Side of the Road? She wants to make sure people banned from TC3 do not just head to her property. Strategize with Tent City and figure out what happens if someone is banned and where do they go. When an officer takes a report and it is entered, does the next officer have access to the case? Answer, not if the first officer has not finished the case in the computer, perhaps they will be able to check the radio log. • Lilliana — how can she get information on children or effects on the School District. • Jerry — Touch a Truck is July 28`h, 9am to noon in the south parking lot of Westfield Mall. Is the crime mapping app up and running yet? No, there have been technical difficulties. What are the biggest staffing issues, retirements, recruiting or retention? Chief, all have been keeping him up at night. About 30% of our officers are eligible to retire. Typical attrition is 5 per year. Recruiting is an issue nationwide, everyone is having difficulties with this piece due to the issues in some departments. All similar departments are offering bonuses for lateral higher than Tukwila's. • Adjourned 7:45pm Next meeting will be on Thursday, 5/10/18 6:30-8pm Duwamish Conference Room, 6300 Southcenter Blvd. 2nd Floor.
