Two members are in the running for most talk time (preliminary)

Preliminary: at least 68% of members’ talk time is identified, under the 80% for a full comparison. The two in the running each average 5.8 to 6.8 minutes a meeting, and each could rank first; the data can’t order them.

Are we continuing to monitor, uh, the incoming, like, 911 call data to see whether people are not calling as frequently given the federal enforcement of immigration or things like that on a continuous basis?”

Yes, I, I, it does. And just, you know, you mentioned that there were, you know, uses of force that were documented and will be investigated. And I know that there were allegations that a journalist was impacted or shot by one of these less lethal. Is that also under investigation, and was that documented?”

What does— can you define a little bit about what coverage means? So you showed us the map and the coverage areas. What is the threshold for coverage? I mean, and really I’m looking at like flying time.”

The second point, you know, who the data is shared with. You know, there is, we hear accusations all the time about, you know, us, the department, sharing data with ICE for immigration reasons, or ICE using out-of-state departments to kind of backdoor channel access to this data.”

Have we had any incidents where officers at the point of an immigration action began their responsibility of identifying the lead officer from the federal side from ICE and we did not get a response, an appropriate response or information directly?”
ICE and immigration enforcementMar 3, 2026 · 2:12:50
Are we expecting officers to interrupt or to identify the appropriate person representing ICE to gain information about who they are, who the other officers are?”

I, I don’t have a question specific to the presentation and the report for us, but I do want to ask that at some point we would come back and discuss drone pilot program as a both a recruitment tool and a training opportunity.”
“Voice identified” counts the meetings where we could attribute a member’s voice. A meeting missing there means we couldn’t attribute it, not that they were absent.
