Bars. The locals rave about. We have such a loyal base of clientele and their families have grown up here. We have generation ins now that they started off as children here. Now theyre bringing in their children here. And the grandpa,r the years, plus its a Community Staple thats been around for decades. Discover the Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad, born out of a love of trains and community, one of the few nonprofits of its kind. A lot of the other ones in the area are private operations, privately owned and for profit things that work to keep themselves afloat. We rely entirely on donations on ticket sales to kind of help keep us afloat. Then whos up for some trivia . You probably know los gatos means the cats in spanish can you name the reason behind the citys name . I dont know. Maybe because theres a lot of cats around here. I dont think in the 1800s it would be because a cute little cat so would you. Youre right. It would be something more dangerous. All that and so much more as mor
Evolve my leadership style to ensure our success with meeting the mission, the needs of the workforce and the community. Once again, thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today. I would be very happy to answer any questions the committee may have at this time. Thank you very much, chief. I appreciate that. I think ill just start off about the unattended firearms which was probably, if anything, one of the bigger concerns, since ive been here on the hill. You were just outlining what you would normally do in a case like that. I think you said five days suspension. Something like that. Im sure that depends on the personnel record of that particular individual, if there had been incidents in the past or not, et cetera. But its also my understanding that some of these incidents happened with members of the force that were on sort of special detail with leadership. And is there any do you give that consideration .

It should be locally driven but not every community is going to have the resources, time and effort. I think bodyworn cameras are misperceived as an easy solution to very complex and deepseeded problems. They can be a constructive tool
Weir and mr. Bruder. I realize not every jurisdiction has mandatory recording of interrogations and how would you compare body cameras to other types of interrogations . What are some of the issues that you dont have with the interrogations that you have with the body cameras . Thank you, senator, for the question. As you know, there are other recording devices that are more widespread right now such as dashboard cameras used by Law Enforcement in stops. Those have been proven to be very effective Law Enforcement tools for many of the reasons that you articulated. Oftentimes it shows the officer acting in absolute conformity with the best practices that you would expect from police and Sheriffs Officers and state troopers. It is also great evidence of what actually happens on scene. Its also a good training thing, actually, i think for officers and theyre able to watch each other and see whats good and whats bad and make sure its really it is a very good way i think for people to learn
