It was an upbeat meeting and items that were touched upon were the ways that HPD is working to make the areas a bit cleaner and safer. The new deployment of the traffic team and the team being on the ATV's has had positive feedback with more people talking to the officers like it was years ago with the police on the beat.
There was also the discussion on the need for more law officers and that less people want to get into law enforcement due to the many quick video posts that only show the part when the police are doing what looks bad and is completely out of context.
He spoke of the great new initiatives of the new police chief and the use of drone deployment to help get to the scene of a crime where a call came from faster to help support efforts to protect people.
The main thing was talking about all the positive steps the city is taking with the Mayor and the new police chief- Chief David Lazar.
They are wanting to focus on getting more engaged with the community and its people.
