Captain III Sean Kane, Commanding Officer of Devonshire Area called the meeting to order at 1900 hours on March 19, 2008.
The minutes of the January 2008 CPAB meeting were reviewed and approved by the Board.
Captain Kane introduced the new Devonshire Patrol Commanding Officer Captain I Steve Ruiz. Captain Ruiz provided the Board a brief biography.
Crime Update- Captain Kane discussed the successful efforts by Devonshire personnel during the follow-up investigation and arrest of a suspect in a recent Homicide. He also informed the Board about Robbery and Car Jacking suspects who were taken into custody through efforts of Devonshire Area Personnel.
Captain Kane advised the Board that Residential Burglary and Burglary Theft from Motor Vehicle are also up. However, efforts in Truancy and Curfew Task Forces are being used to quell these issues. Additionally, Group Homes are being looked at, as it appears there may be a correlation between the property crimes and the lack of supervision of Group Homes. Gang crime is down 57%, overall crime is down 6%, and violent crime is down 3%.
Guest Speaker- Co-Chairperson Larry Stern spoke about Identity Theft. He discussed the many ways Identity can be stolen. He suggested obtaining and maintaining current information of one’s own credit report. He provided a handout offering information about how to acquire that information.
Emergency Phone Number Update- Bobbi Fiedler revisited the need for publication of an emergency call list of Board members to open lines of communication from the Executive Board to the remainder of the members. Bobbi Fiedler motioned that the call list be created and distributed. The motion was seconded and carried.
Projects- Captain Kane called for the Board to provide suggestions and input for venue and topics to address at the upcoming Semi-Annual and Town Hall meeting. The Board tentatively decided that Group homes would be the topic of one of the meetings.
