Larry Stearn called the meeting to order at 7:08 PM. Larry Stearn made a motion to approve the minutes from the September 21st CPAB meeting. John Manning seconded the motion, and the motion was approved.
Larry Stearn asked everybody to introduce themselves. 19 CPAB members and 2 guests were in attendance.
(11 CPAB members were absent).
Captain Ryan spoke on Constitutional Policing and how the Los Angeles Police Department is continually training all their officers to ensure that the citizen’s rights are protected, while interacting with the police equally, either as a victim or as a criminal. There has been additional training for supervisors and that the number of complaints is a very small percentage considering the number of traffic stops made by the LAPD.
Captain Ryan gave the latest crime updates and that at the last COMSTAT meeting while discussing the types of crime and response times, Devonshire was congratulated by Deputy Chief Albanese for its crime reduction. Larry Stearn reminded everyone that the recent letter sent to all CPAB members, from Captain Pitcher,regarding important community issues will be on our next CPAB agenda and we will be forming committees and working on strategies and methods to address them.
Lorraine New, from PALS, brought up how important the upcoming PALS Toy Drive will be this year. Last year 679 kids got new toys and they expect over a 1,000 kids needing toys for Christmas. Gifts for teens being the most needed. New and unwrapped toys can be donated at several locations.
