TODAY. GOOD EVENING. I'M OFFICER SEAN DEVLIN. MONTGOMERY TOWNSHIP POLICE. THANK YOU FOR HAVING US HERE TONIGHT. MY SORT OF SORT OF RYAN GRAVES WITH ME ALSO WERE IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE DIVISION FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. AND ONCE, MISS PATEL ASKED THE CAPTAIN TO HAVE SOMEBODY COME DOWN AND TALK ABOUT THE TYPES OF CALLS AND THE EXTENT OF THE CALLS THAT HAVE INCREASED IN THE TOWNSHIP. THAT WAS BROUGHT DOWN TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE DIVISION TO HAVE IT ADDRESSED HERE BEFORE YOU. UM UM. NEED SOME NOTES ON A COUPLE OF THINGS ON A COUPLE OF TYPES OF CALLS THAT WOULD IMPACT INDIVIDUALS IN THIS TOWNSHIP THAT COULD BE OF CONCERN AND THAT COULD BE FORWARDED UP TO THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT AS A SECONDARY WAY TO ADDRESS THE SITUATION IN ORDER TO TRY TO MAKE NO REPETITIVE CALLS OR LESS REPETITIVE CALLS. I UNDERSTAND THAT MEMBERS FROM THE E M S WAS HERE LAST MONTH. AND I COULD TELL YOU SOME THINGS ABOUT THAT . WE USED TO BE ON CALLS TOGETHER A LOT. BUT BECAUSE THE WAY CALLS HAVE CHANGED, SOMETIMES WE'RE NOT EVEN ON THE SAME CAUSE AS THEM DEALING WITH THE SITUATION THAT MIGHT ONLY BE ADDRESSED BY POLICE. IT'S JUST A NUMBER OF CALLS HAVE INCREASED THAT MUCH FOR THE DEPARTMENT AS WELL AS HER M S, UM LONG TIME.SORRY THESE THINGS COMING BACK. COME INTO THE COURT PIPES THAT WE GO THROUGH OUR THE ADDRESS THEM BY CODES. UM BUT THEY COME OUT WHEN THE POLICE OFFICERS ASSIGNED THEM. WE HAVE PSYCHIATRIC CALLS. FAMILY CRISIS SPECIAL NEEDS SUICIDE OR ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. SO I THINK THAT ALL THESE TYPES OF CALLS COULD BE ADDRESSED WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT IN THE SENSE THAT IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS . MAYBE SOMETHING CAN BE FORWARDED UP TO THEM FOR THAT SOFT HANDOFF THAT ON THAT FOLLOW UP WITH OUR PSYCHIATRIC HALLS. I WENT THROUGH THE LAST 10 YEARS AND PULLED UP OUR NUMBERS. UM I DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME TO GET THESE NUMBERS, SO TO VALIDATE THE EXACT NUMBER, I MIGHT BE OFF BY A FEW, BUT LOOKING BACK IN 2013 THROUGH 2017. THE NUMBER OF CALLS I CAME UP WITH RANGED ANYWHERE BETWEEN 49 AND 82. PER YEAR. OKAY? IN THE LATTER HALF OF THIS 10 YEARS FROM 2018 TO 23 WE WERE LOOKING AT IN THE NINETIES AND INTO THE LOW ONE HUNDREDS. UM, THIS YEAR ALONE AT THE SIX MONTH POINT WE WERE ALREADY AT 63. SO YOU CAN SEE THAT OUT OF THAT 10 YEAR OVER THAT 10 YEAR PERIOD. WE HAVE
[00:05:06]
INCREASED ON THE PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCIES EXPONENTIALLY OR IN AFFAIRS, AND THAT IS DEFINITELY BEEN TAXING ON THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE TOWN. FAMILY CRISIS. FAMILY CRISIS IS A SITUATION WHERE WE'RE GOING THERE TO TRY TO HELP THE FAMILY. IT MAY NOT RISE TO THE LEVEL OF A DOMESTIC BUT WERE THERE TO TRY TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE. TO HELP THEM THROUGH SOMETHING. UM IN THE 10 YEARS THAT I WENT THROUGH, NOT GONNA GO THROUGH WITH THE SAME WAY. WHAT I'M SEEING IN THAT IS IN THE LATTER FIVE YEARS, ALSO AN INCREASE THE SAME THING. IT'S NOT AS DRASTIC AS THE PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCIES, BUT THERE ARE THERE IS A DEFINITE INCREASE. UM THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS PICKED OUT EARLIER TODAY. BY DEVON JEON RM CODES SPECIAL NEEDS I ONLY HAD ONE AND THAT WAS THIS YEAR NOW. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S WHAT WE CALL A NEW M CODE, WHICH WE ADDED IN OR IF OUR OFFICERS JUST AREN'T UTILIZING IT. BUT AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE BOUNDARY ABOUT THAT, SHE SAID, SHE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT. SO I'M GOING TO FOLLOW UP TO SEE IF THAT SITUATION WAS BASED UPON. IT'S A NEW CODE, OR IF IT'S JUST THAT WE'RE NOT UTILIZING IT TO ITS EXTENT. UM SUICIDE OR ATTEMPTED SUICIDES. THERE WAS NOTHING BEHIND THIS THAT I COULD FIND OUT. BESIDES THAT. THE DATA SHOW THAT THE WORST YEAR FOR US IN THE LAST 10 YEARS WAS 2020. SO AND I GUESS THAT CAN KIND OF MAKE SENSE TO YOU. UP IS OUR NUMBERS TENDED TO DROP AFTER THAT YEAR. SO UM, I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE GETTING TO PEOPLE ON TIME OR PROVIDING THE SERVICES THAT THEY NEED THROUGH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT THROUGH M S ETCETERA, UM AND THEN I HAVE NUMBERS FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ONCE AGAIN THE FIRST FIVE YEARS 2013 TO 2017. WE WERE LOOKING IN THE UPPER FORTIES TO LOW FIFTIES AND NOW OUR NUMBERS ARE MORE HOVERING AROUND INTO THE SIXTIES TO DATE FOR THIS YEAR. WE'RE ALREADY IN AT 30 AT THE END OF JUNE 6 MONTH POINT, SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THE STAND TARGET FOR THAT 16 MARK. A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT POLICE DEPARTMENT IS DOING ON THIS IS WE'VE WE'RE GOING TO TRAINING IN ORDER TO TRY TO ADDRESS SITUATIONS WITH THERE WAS ACTUALLY A CLASS THAT WENT OUT COUPLE OF YEARS AGO CALLED ICHAT, INTEGRATING COMMUNICATIONS ASSESSMENTS AND TACTICS. WITH THAT. I KNOW I DON'T WANT TO BORE YOU WITH THE YOU KNOW, ACRONYM, BUT IT'S A TRAINING TO PROVIDE US TO TRY TO DEESCALATE A SITUATION SO NOW WE DO DEESCALATE THAT WE GET THE INDIVIDUAL TO GET HELP. BUT WHAT IS OUR FOLLOW UP? YOU KNOW? OKAY, SO WE GET THEM THROUGH THE COUNTY. THEY MIGHT GO TO PASS. IT COULD BE A PEST CALL WHERE THEY COME OUT TO US. IT COULD BE A PHONE CALL. THAT COULD BE US TRANSPORTING THEM UP TO THE HOSPITAL FOR A BETTER EVALUATION TO GET THEM THE SERVICES THEY NEED. BUT THEN WHAT IS THE FOLLOW UP AFTER THAT? DID THEY FOLLOW UP WITH PESTS? OR IS IT A REPEAT CALL FOR US AND WE KEEP GOING BACK TO IT. UM THE CALLS FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAVE THE CALLS FOR SERVICE, NOT JUST CLOSE CALLS FOR SERVICE HAVE INCREASED FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT PROVIDED THIS TO CAPTAIN DEBT FOR A PREVIOUS YOU'RE AWARE OF THIS? THANK YOU, MA'AM. WITH THAT. UM, THAT'S NOW OUR OFFICERS ARE SEEN GOING OUT MORE AND MORE INTERACTING WITH THE PUBLIC TO TRY TO ALLEVIATE A SITUATION, SO I KIND OF THINK THAT THE DATA IS STARTING TO SHOW THAT WE'RE INTERACTING MORE WITH THE PUBLIC, BUT WE'RE KIND OF LOSING THAT CONNECTION TO GET THEM THE SERVICES THEY NEED. AND I KNOW THIS IS WHAT THE VANGIE WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO TRY TO. HOW DO WE GET THIS CONNECTION? ONE OF THE THINGS WE DID IN THE PAST WITH ANIMAL CONTROL WAS WE HAD A BITE INCIDENT FORM. IF AN OFFICER HANDLED A BITE INCIDENT FORM THAT WOULD THEN REPORT WOULD BE WRITTEN. ALL THE PROPER STUFF WILL BE DONE, AND IT WOULD BE FORWARDED UP TO STEPHANIE KERRY AT THE TIME, AND I LOVE YOU WERE GETTING THOSE AS WELL AND THAT WAY IT COULD BE ADDRESSED TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE PARTIES INVOLVED ARE TAKEN CARE OF. I'VE ALREADY BEEN TALKING TO ANOTHER OFFICER, SENIOR OFFICER SERGEANT IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND AS WELL AS DAVONTE ABOUT CREATING A NEW CODE. OR MAYBE WE CAN START DOING A REFERRAL. SO I HAVE TO FEEL THAT OUT TO TALK WITH THE COMMAND STAFF AND SEE WHAT THE PITFALLS MIGHT BE ON THAT, BUT MAYBE THAT'S A FIRST STEP IN TRYING TO GET SOME OF THESE SITUATIONS ADDRESSED WHERE THE CONNECTION IS BETTER. WE DO HAVE CONNECTIONS WITH THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. I AM ALSO THE O E M COORDINATOR WE HAVE REGISTERED READY. WE HAVE SMART 911 AND WE ALSO HAVE ANOTHER FORM, WHICH IS IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IN ORDER TO CONNECT PEOPLE WHO MIGHT NEED SPECIAL NEEDS OR HAVE SPECIAL NEEDS MET. SO AS A POLICE OFFICER OR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MEET THEM IN THE EVENT OF SAY, OKAY, UM DAILY EVENTS OR TO BE IN CONTACT WITH THEM. BUT IN THE EVENT OF EMERGENCY, WE ARE CHECKING INTO THEM. WITH THE LONGER WE'VE MADE THAT CONNECTION, WHERE NOW HER PERSONNEL NOW HAVE THE SAME ACCESS. AS I DO. WE CAN SHARE THAT IT'S INTERCHANGEABLE, AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT, ESPECIALLY EITHER DURING AN EMERGENCY OR NON EMERGENCY, SO IT ACTUALLY[00:10:03]
HELPS UP TO SEE WHERE THOSE POPULATIONS ARE. THE SYSTEM HELPS US OUT. IT ALSO DOESN'T MAPPING SYSTEM SO WE CAN SEE WHERE THOSE POPULATIONS ARE. THROUGHOUT THE TOWNSHIP. UM.TOUCHED ON PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING AT THIS POINT. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR SOMETHING TO COMMENT ON? GOOD. YEAH THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IT'S VERY, VERY GOOD AND LEARNING EXPERIENCE. UH I WAS JUST WONDERING SINCE THE DATA WAS FOR FOUR YEARS UNTIL 2017. AND WHEN WE COMPARE THAT WITH 22 OR 23. UH COUPLE OF THINGS. ONE OF THEM IS WE ARE COMPARING THE ROUND NUMBERS. AND WHY I'M SAYING THAT RAW NUMBERS IS NOT VERY INFORMATIVE BECAUSE IN THE LAST SIX YEARS OR MAYBE IN THE FOUR PLASTICS YEARS A COUPLE OF THINGS MIGHT HAPPEN. THE POPULISM MIGHT HAVE INCREASED LIKE PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE COME FROM THE FRONT TO OUR TOWNSHIP. BUT THE THING IS, DEMOGRAPHIC MIGHT HAVE CHANGED. WITH THAT INFLUX OF OTHER PEOPLE COMING TO THE TOWNSHIP. UH AND SO THOSE COULD BE THE LIKE, UM, FACTORS WE NEED TO IDENTIFY. ONE THING IS TO REALLY NORMALIZE.
THAT IS THAT REAL? AND THAT KIND OF BIG CHANGES LIKE MINOR CHANGE , BUT IT'S SHOWING UP IN LARGE NUMBERS. BECAUSE OF THAT, WE LOOKED INTO STUFF AND I EXPECT THE POPULATION CHANGE. ONE OF THE THINGS I LOOKED AT, AND I WOULD. I GOT TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON THIS. I JUST DID A QUICK LOOK ABOUT POPULATION CHANGE. I LOOKED AT THE CENSUS. IT DIDN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME FROM 2010 TO 2020 FOR THE TOWN. THE NUMBERS JUST I MEAN, I THINK YOU JOTTED THEM DOWN TO BONDI, BUT IT JUST DIDN'T MAKE SENSE FOR THE TYPE OF THOUGHT SO TO TRUST THAT KIND OF INFORMATION TO SEE WHERE WE'RE AT WITH OUR DEMOGRAPHICS AND WHAT'S COMING IN AND HOW TO ADDRESS THESE POPULATIONS TO SEE WHAT'S MISSING. AND THERE ARE GAPS ARE I THINK I HAVE TO ADDRESS THE DATA FIRST TO SEE IF THE DATA IS ACCURATE AND THEN TRY TO FIND OUT OKAY. AM I LOOKING AT THIS WRONG OR HEALTH FORMULA CAN'T WRONG OR IS THERE SOMETHING ABOUT IT? AND IS THAT OUR FIRST GAP BECAUSE THEN YOU KNOW IF IT SAYS CERTAIN THINGS LIKE WE HAVE A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF THE POPULATION, AND THAT'S NOT TRUE, THEN WE CAN BE, YOU KNOW. UM, HITTING MISSING THE MARK. PLEASE. BUT I MEAN, IT IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WE'VE DEFINITELY INCREASED WITH THE HOUSING, SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO LOOK INTO CERTAIN THINGS ON THAT ASPECT. YEAH DEFINITELY. IT HAS INCREASED NEED TO KNOW THE EXTENT OF THAT CHANGE AND THE MEASURES ARE BEING TAKEN. THOSE ARE VERY GOOD. SO IN INNOVATIVE IT'S A GOOD WHAT HAPPENED? SO I HAVE A QUESTION OF THE FIRST HAVE ACTUALLY TWO QUESTIONS IN THAT ASPECT. UM REGARDING THE DATA THAT YOU SAID, LIKE, YOU KNOW, VIOLATE INCREASED FROM 2018 TO 23 A DIFFERENCE IN THE SUICIDE LIKE IT INCREASED LIKE DURING THE COVERT TIME LIKE 2020 EVEN IN THAT. DO YOU HAVE A BREAKUP LIKE 2018 TO 2020? THEN WAS THAT AN UPTAKE? AFTER COVID OR WAS THERE LIKE YOU WERE SEEING ALREADY A GRAND AND THEN IT KIND OF HAD A, YOU KNOW, SHARE IT WITH YOU. AND THEN WE CAN SEE. MAYBE WE CAN ASK, OKAY. IMPLEMENTATION. FOR THE SUICIDE.
NUMBER SEVEN. OKAY YOUR QUESTION IN THE SUICIDE ATTEMPT. OKAY, CATEGORIZED. SO. COULD HAVE BEEN . 100 YEARS. THREE DAYS. THINK ABOUT IT. 100 A YEAR, 100 IN A YEAR IS ONE EVERY 32. THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S I JUST WANTED TO EXPRESS IS FAR AS THE NUMBERS GO . PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCY IS ONE PERSON. A FAMILY CRISIS IS A GROUP OF PEOPLE AND A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE INCIDENT IS ALSO MORE THAN ONE PERSON. SO IF I LOOK AT, UH 4200. PSYCH EMERGENCIES, 65 FAMILY CRISIS IS IN 60 DOMESTICS. SO THAT'S 1 21 10. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT 220 INCIDENTS THAT IS EITHER A SINGLE OR GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT NEED SOME TYPE OF INTERVENTION OVER THE COURSE OF 365 DAYS 220 INCIDENTS. SPANNING AT WHATEVER COURSE I MIGHT BE, TOO IN A DAY, SO IT MIGHT BE THREE IN A WEEKEND. OR WE MAY GO SIX DAYS HAVE NONE. THREE IN A DAY, SO ULTIMATELY, UM IT'S UM IT TAKES A LOT OF RESOURCES FROM US WERE DRIVEN BY POLICY AND COUNTY SO WE'RE KIND OF RESOURCES ARE LIMITED. IS A HEAVY TRAINED ON BUT WHEN. BOTH ARGENT. IT'S VERY IT TAKES FROM YOUR MANPOWER. TRY
[00:15:05]
TO HAVE AN ATTORNEY. FROM THE PLACES TO GO. IT IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING. COUNTIES POLICY WERE LIMITED. I'M JUST I'M SURE YOU MIGHT. YOU MIGHT BE AWARE OF THE COUNTY'S POLICY WITH THE PAST.IT USED TO BE A TRANSPORT TO THE HOSPITAL. NOW IT'S A PHONE CALL TO THEM. THEY MIGHT COME OUT BECAUSE THEY FIND THAT THAT STIGMA GOING LESS NOW PROVIDING A LESSER HMM. AND WE COULD HAVE OFFICERS WAITING THERE FOR THEM TO RESPOND TO THE LONGEST COUNTY FACILITIES WHEN SOMEBODY NEEDS I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 24 YEARS. SOMEONE NEEDS TO TALK TO THIS PERSON. CALL HIM ON THE PHONE. BUT THERE WAS ONE AT THE AIRPORT. THERE WAS LIKE, TWO HOURS, THE AMBULANCE AND WE WAITED AND YOU GUYS WAITED FOR, LIKE, TWO HOURS. YOU KNOW THEY'RE THE PSYCH SUICIDAL QUESTION. I'VE SEEN TO SENSE OF 7 22 SINCE JULY. 22ND. WE'VE HAD TWO CALLS. SO ARE WE CAPTURING THE IT'S THE WAY IT'S CAPTURED. IT COULD BE A PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCY THAT THEY'RE JUST FEELING SUICIDAL. BUT THERE IS NO ATTEMPT IT GOT PUT INTO CYCLES. I HAVE THE WAY AND I WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH EACH REPORT. I CAN DO EACH REPORT UNDER KEYWORD SEARCH, WHICH IS NOW A LENGTHY AND INVOLVED I'D HAVE TO GET PEOPLE IN RECORDS DIVISION UNDERNEATH ME TO ASSIST ME ON THAT THREE PLACES. SOMEBODY CALLS AND SAYS FROM MY SIBLING AS AN ABSOLUTE PROBLEM.
UM THE PATIENT THEMSELVES. CALL CENTER GETS A DISPATCHER COMES BACK. THEY CALLED US AND THEY SAID THAT THERE YOU KNOW WHAT I'M NOTICING. THIRD ONE IS JUST SOME LAY WITNESS PERSON IS OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING'S WRONG BECAUSE I'M NOTICING YOUNGER, LIKE SUICIDAL A LOT LIKE THE TWO THAT CAME IN THIS MONTH. WE'RE BOTH IN THEIR TEAMS. THAT WAS ACTUALLY PARTLY MY QUESTION.
PIGGYBACKING WAS IS THE AGE DEMOGRAPHICS. YOU MAY NOT HAVE THAT, BUT ARE YOU NOTICING? AND I GUESS I'M A PEDIATRICIAN. SO I GUESS I CARE MORE ABOUT THESE THINGS IN TERMS OF YOUNGER AGE POPULATION IS SHE ALLUDED TO, UM DO YOU HAVE THE TRAINING OR RESOURCES TO DEAL WITH THE YOUNGER POPULATION VERSUS A 50 YEAR OLD PERSON? TRAINING, INCLUSIVE STUFF TO THAT HANDLE WITH CARE, AND THAT'S GOING OUT TO THE SCHOOLS. UM WE HAVE A GOOD FORM ON THAT THAT GETS RIGHT OUT. SO THAT'S THE FOLLOW UP THERE SORT OF SCHOOLS CAN ADJUST TO THAT. AND THAT CAN BE TAKEN CARE OF IN THAT SENSE, BUT THAT SAME TYPE OF INFORMATION THAT'S GOING OVER TO THEM.
THERE'S NO DETAILED INFORMATION . IT'S JUST THEY'VE EXPERIENCED A TRAUMATIC INCIDENT. YOU'VE BEEN AWARE OF IT, BUT WE CAN'T PROVIDE YOU ANY OF THE DETAILS BECAUSE OF THAT. AND THAT'S KIND OF THE PROBLEM ON THE SHARING. IT MIGHT JUST BE A REFERRAL, BUT REDACTION. BUT THEN THERE'S A DISCUSSION, AT LEAST OPEN INVOLVED THAT IF THERE'S SOME SORT OF FOLLOW UP LOOKS A GAP AND CARE, PSYCHIATRIC ISSUES THAT ARE RECURRING, DON'T DO WELL WITH THE POLICE PERIOD.
IT'S NOT IMPORTANT NOT TREATING RIGHT? THEY'RE AFRAID TO TALK TO US. THEY'RE FREE TO TELL US THE TRUTH. AFRAID IF THEY TELL US THE TRUTH? YES OF COURSE. THEY DON'T FEEL THAT THEY NEED TO GO.
AND MAYBE THEY DON'T. WE HAVE OFFICER DUBLIN. I WANTED TO UNDERSTAND THIS THIS COUNTY ANGLE OF IT AT THE TOWNSHIP. WE WANT TO UNDERSTAND YOU'RE SAYING WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS. YOU'RE READING FOR THE COUNTY. IS THAT SOMETHING NEW FROM THERE? I KNOW AT THE COMMUNITY LEADERS MEETING WE WENT. WE WERE THERE. THERE WAS A DISCUSSION THAT SHOULD JUST HANDLE WITH CARE IS GIVEN OFF TO THEM. I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND. WITH THE HMM. AND THAT SOME OF THE COUNTER IT'S A PHONE CALL UP TO THEM. SOMETIMES IT'S HANDLED BY PHONE CALL WHERE THEY ADDRESS IT, AND THEY CAN TALK TO THEM OVER THE PHONE. OKAY INDIVIDUAL MAY ALREADY BE UNDER THE CARE OF A DOCTOR. PUT IT ON HOLD. CONTACT THE DOCTOR. SEE WHAT IT IS THAT THE DOCTOR SAYS YES, THERE SHOULD BE NO PROBLEM. IF IT'S BEEN CALMED DOWN, THEY CAN GET INVOLVED. AND ADDRESS THAT WAY. AND THEN THERE'S A FOLLOW UP WITH THEIR PRIMARY DOCTOR WHO'S ALREADY HANDLING THAT MATTER. IT'S A TRANSPORT UP BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE ANYBODY AVAILABLE TO SEND OUT BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN, THEY ARE TRYING TO GIVE THEM THAT ABILITY TO STAY IN AN AREA WHERE THEY FEEL SAFE AND WHERE THEY UM, IF THAT'S THE CASE, AND IT'S A IT'S A STATE HERE INSTEAD OF THE TRANSPORT TO THE HOSPITAL. NOW OUR OFFICERS ARE SITTING OUT AT SCENE AND THAT COULD BE SOME TIME BECAUSE THAT'S ONCE AGAIN DRAIN ON THE RESOURCES ONCE AGAIN, THAT'S OKAY TO HAVE THAT TRAIN ON THAT RESOURCE. BUT IF WE'RE GETTING INTO A REPETITIVE NATURE 234 TIMES BECAUSE PRESSES UP THE COUNTY AND THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE HANDLING IT. YET THERE'S NO UM, EXPERIENCE FROM THE TOWNSHIP IN ORDER TO PROVIDE A SERVICE TO THEM WHERE IT CAN BE A SOFT HAND OFF IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT CAN BE CAN EVEN BE DONE. I DON'T EVEN KNOW I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S GOING TO BE A VIOLATION OF SOMETHING WITH HIPAA OR THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT FOR SOMEBODY WHO'S TRAINED, SOCIAL WORKING, OR IF WE AT LEAST PROVIDE THAT CONTACT INFORMATION AS PART OF IT, AS WE PROVIDE THE SERVICES IN A SHEET FOR THAT, FOR COUNTY, CERTAIN THINGS WE CAN HAND OFF OTHER THINGS WE CANNOT. YEAH. REQUIRE
[00:20:10]
THEM TO RESPOND. AND NOT BE DOING PHONE SCREENINGS, NOT SAYING WE DON'T HAVE ANYONE AVAILABLE. I THINK MAYBE WE WILL SIT DOWN AS A TOWNSHIP COMMUNITY AND HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH SILVIO BET. YEAH, AND TRY AND FIGURE THIS AGGREGATES PROBLEM WITH BRIDGEWAY THAT THEY DON'T PEOPLE ON STAFF THAT THEY CAN RESPOND. HAVE A STABBING ISSUES SERVICE. YEAH. BECAUSE WE AS A POLICE DEPARTMENT ARE LIMITED FUNNEL OUR PATIENTS THERE. NO, I UNDERSTAND. YEAH. UNDERSTAND BECAUSE THE CONVERSATIONS WE HAVE HAD IS SOMETIMES WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH POLICE OFFICERS FOR CERTAIN THINGS. WE'RE DOING A BIG SAFETY CAMPAIGN AND I WAS TOLD IT'S HARD TO GET AS YOU'VE HEARD AFTER DEVLIN. HOW HARD TO HAVE PEOPLE YOU KNOW, SIT AT 206 FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS TO, YOU KNOW, MAKE SURE PEDESTRIANS ARE NOT GETTING HIT, SO I JUST MARRIED. THAT'S A CONVERSATION.WHAT WE'LL DO IS OFFLINE AND FIGURE THIS OUT, BUT THANK YOU. I WASN'T AWARE THAT IT WAS. WE HAD OFFICERS SITTING THERE FOR THAT THAT LONGER. TIME DEPENDS. YEAH IF PETS HAPPENS TO BE VISITED THAT NIGHT, AND THEY HAVE PATIENTS FROM BRIDGEWATER EVERYWHERE ELSE, AND NOW WE ALREADY HAVE A NATION. WE DON'T HAVE THIS ISSUE. IT'S CERTAINLY POSSIBLE. RIGHT OKAY, THAT BEFORE IT GETS TO THAT LEVEL. YOU KNOW YOU GET THERE THE FIRST TIME AND THEN YOU HAVE SOME SORT OF AVAILABILITY THROUGH SOME SORT OF RESOURCE IN THEIR TOWNSHIP ONCE AGAIN THAT THEY LIKE TO KEEP THEM IN THEIR HOMES, SO THAT HOME RULE MIGHT BE THE BEST ANSWER IN THE BEGINNING, SO IT DOESN'T GET UP TO THAT. 3RD 4TH CALL WHERE THEY KEEP SEEING THE OFFICERS OVER AND OVER AGAIN, RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT. ALTHOUGH DEVELOPED RELATIONSHIPS, YEAH, REGARDING SAYS IS THANK YOU. PSYCHIATRIC SCREENING UP AND BRIDGEWAY JOHNSON'S JOHNSON'S OKAY. CHECK IT OUT. THERE'S SOMETHING PSYCHIATRIC ASIAN. WE HAVE TO FUNNEL THROUGH THERE. THAT'S OUR BIOLOGY AND HOW MANY OFFICERS ARE USUALLY RESPONDING TO ONE OF THESE CALLS? IF WE TRY NOT TO SEND WE'RE TRYING TO EVER SEND JUST ONE. YEAH MINIMUM. YES PSYCHIATRIC SCREENING AND EVALUATION. OVERALL RESOURCES IS THAT HOW DOES IT WORK IS THAT UH , TOWNSHIP LEVEL OF RISK COUNTY LEVEL RESOURCES, HOW THEY OVERALL RESOURCES POLICE DEPARTMENT WITH THE RESOURCE.
I'M SORRY. RESOURCES IS THAT LIKE HE DROPPED FROM COUNTY LEVEL RESOURCES ON IT'S ALL TOWNSHIP ONLY AND SEPARATED FOR DRAWING FROM THE COUNTY RESOURCES BECAUSE OF THE STUFF HERE FOR THE TOWNSHIP IS MINIMAL . SO WE'RE ALWAYS DOING CALLS OUT OUR AS WELL AS THE POLICE IS JUST US. YES. THERE IS NO RESOURCE. SHARING JUST WANTED. WE ALSO HAVE SOMEBODY THAT HASN'T QUESTION OVER. THERE ARE OUTREACH PERIMETER, BUT THEN YES , YOU CAN ASK A QUESTION, OF COURSE. SO LAST TIME I SAID IT I E. M S ALSO HAD WITH THEIR ENGAGING WITH THEY BRING THEM SOMEWHERE. THEY DON'T SEE THAT. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT? FOR THE POLICE LIKE KNOWING WHEN I SEE THIS PERSON THEY GET UPSET. WHAT WE EAT THIS. RESIDENTS. I DON'T KNOW. MAYBE FIND OUT FROM THE PATIENT. WHAT THEY THINK WAS A VALID SERVICE AND TREATMENT, YOU KNOW, OR THEY TREATED WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT BY THE POLICE. AND WERE THEY DID THEY RECEIVE APPROPRIATE MEDICAL CARE WHEN THEY GOT THERE? I DON'T KNOW. THESE PEOPLE HAVE A BELIEF OF WHAT THEY THINK THEY NEED. IF THEY'RE OFF THEIR MEDS, AND THEY , YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES THEY DO. THEY GOT TO GET BACK ON THEIR MEDICINE IN ST AND SOMETIMES THEY DON'T WANT TO GO BACK ON THEIR MEDS. YOU'RE NOT NECESSARILY EASY TO DEAL WITH. SO I DON'T KNOW HOW DEALING WITH A LIFETIME OF MEDICATION. ON IT OFF IT OFFICE. TIME. SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF RESPONSES YOU'RE GONNA CATCH. MORE ABOUT IS SOMEONE CHECKING ON THEM AFTER ALL OF THIS HAS HAPPENED. AND IF SOMEONE SAYING ARE YOU OKAY ONCE THE INCIDENT IS OVER? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO ASK HIM TRYING TO UNDERSTAND SOMETHING LIKE WITH THE M S THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. IS IT SOMETHING THAT. YEAH DO IS IT SOMETHING SHOULD WE FOLLOW HER? SO I THINK IT SHOULD BE THE
[00:25:01]
HEALTH DEPARTMENT AT ALL IS LEFT TO THEIR MEDICAL DOCTOR. AND DOES ANYBODY KNOW I THINK IT'S I THINK IT DEPENDS. IT DEPENDS ON IT DEPENDS ON THE CALLS THAT SOMETIMES YOU KNOW THE POLICE DEPARTMENT OR FOLLOWING UP. SOMETIMES IT'S CMS. UM YOU KNOW, THEY FOLLOW UP AND THEN SOMETIMES THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT FINDS OUT IT'S VERY IT IS A FRAGMENTED PROCESS. SO ONE THING WE WANT TO DETERMINE BASED ON, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, LISTENING TO FIRST RESPONDERS AND SEEING WHAT ARE THEY SEEING IN THE FIELD, WHETHER WHAT ARE THE NEEDS AS IT RELATES TO SOCIAL SERVICES? HOW CAN WE STREAMLINE CERTAIN PROCESSES AND HOW CAN WE STREAMLINE DATA COLLECTION SO WE CAN GET A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT? WHAT IS WHAT IS SOCIAL SERVICES DEMAND LOOKING LIKE IN MONTGOMERY? WE ALL INDIVIDUALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS GOING UP. BUT THE CAPACITY AND STAFFING AND RESOURCES WITHIN THE WITHIN THE TOWNSHIP HASN'T GONE UP, SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WILL HAVE TO ANALYZE. AND SO THE GOAL OF, YOU KNOW, HAVING THE FIRST RESPONDERS COME OUT TO THE BOARD OF HEALTH IS TO REALLY SHARE WHAT WHAT THEY'RE SEEING IN THE COMMUNITY. UM, WHAT TRENDS HAVE THEY IDENTIFIED? WHAT DATA DO THEY HAVE? AND THEN? YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO HELP THEM COME UP WITH AN OVERALL PLAN. AND MAYBE EVEN YOU KNOW, COME UP WITH A BETTER DATA COLLECTION PLAN TO SO AS LONG AS YOU'RE ALL SORT OF WORKING TOGETHER BECAUSE WORKING AS INDIVIDUALS, THAT WOULD BE REALLY TOUGH, RIGHT? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO NOW TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY THAT'S DEFINITELY AND THAT DEFINITELY SHOULD BE OUR FOCUS BECAUSE THINGS ARE MOVING VERY FAST. AND SOMETIMES YOU KNOW, WE SHOULD DON'T FROM THE COPS TO YOU GUYS AND YOU KNOW TO THE M S. YEAH SOMETIMES IT'S JUST THE SAME PEOPLE THAT WE ARE TRYING TO HELP, SO IT'S IMPORTANT. GO AHEAD, FORCING YOU GUYS TO GO TO THE NEW BRUNSWICK PLACE NEW BRUNSWICK, SOMERVILLE SOMEWHERE THERE, THERE'S NO THERE'S NO SIMILAR PROGRAMS THAT LIKE PRINCETON HOUSE OR SIMILAR PROGRAMS AT PRINCETON. WERE DICTATED BY POLICY HOUSES. MERCER COUNTY ART, THE PSYCHIATRIC WE CAN TAKE PSYCH PATIENTS TO PRINCETON IF THAT'S WHAT THEY ASK, BUT IF IT'S A PEST TRANSPORT, IT HAS TO GO TO SOMERSET HOSPITAL CANADA, AND THEY HAVE A BOUNTY WHOLE SECTION OF THE ER. THAT'S LOCKED THAT THEY GO BACK IN THAT ONE SECTION. JUST SO MUCH FARTHER AWAY, WE TOOK ALL PASSED TO SOMERSET AUTOMATICALLY SOME OF THE OTHER THAN PRINCETON'S. IF YOU'RE ON THIS SIDE OF WORRY THAT WE LIVE IN THE OTHER CITIES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TRACKS WHO LIVE IN SOMERSET COUNTY, SO WE HAVE TO AS A TOWNSHIP. WE WORKED WITH THE COUNTY SO RESOURCES DICTATED THROUGH THAT COUNTY SHEET THAT WE HAVE. AND WE EVEN DEAL WITH PEOPLE WHO CARRIER CLINIC. AGAINST CINCINNATI. PRINCE AND MEDICAL CENTER CYCLING. I WANT TO GO BACK BECAUSE MAYBE THEY LIVE ON THE SOUTH END OF TOWN WITH THE PRINCE OF MAILING ADDRESS. WE CAN'T TAKE THEM THERE. AIRPORT TRIAGED. WHAT A WASTE! AND IT'S FRUSTRATED WITH CAREGIVERS THERE. COME BACK TO THAT PROGRAM. WE WERE NOT ALLOWED TO DO THAT THE OTHER ISSUES WOULD LOOK INTO IT, AND THE OTHER ISSUE IS OFTENTIMES THESE PLACES ARE FULL. WE'VE HAD PATIENTS WHO WANT TO GO TO CARRIER THEY CALL CARRIER AND SAY, I WANT TO COME AND CARRIER TELLS HIM CALL 911 WERE FULL. CARRIED ALL THAT INSURANCE CALL 911 WERE FULL. SO THEN WE NOW HAVE THE PATIENT WE HAVE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. WHEN REALLY WHAT THEY WANT IS TO GO BACK INTO CHARACTER WOULD INSURANCE. YEAH IT'S PSYCHO BEDS ARE VERY TIGHT. SO THE PROBLEM IS A LOT OF TIMES THEY'RE TOLD THERE ARE NO BEDS, SO THEY CALL 911 AUTOMATICALLY BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY PERSON. SOMEWHAT SOMEWHAT OF A BIGGER PROBLEM, THE INSURANCE PART THEN WE CAN AT THE TOWNSHIP LEVEL SOLVE RIGHT NOW, SO BUT YEAH, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING THAT'S THAT'S AMAZING. I GUESS YOU COULD HAVE HEALTH STORED ANALYZING THESE GOING AND WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THEM. YEAH GOING ON AN AMBULANCE . HOW MANY ARE NOT GOING ON AN AMBULANCE. HOW MANY? YOU'RE YOU KNOW? WHERE THEY'RE GOING AND WHO'S BEING SCREENED ON SITE WHO'S BEING SCREENED IN SOMERVILLE, WHO'S BEING SCREENED AT HOME BECAUSE IT WAS THREE DIFFERENT AVENUES RIGHT BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO COME TO THE HOME AND THEN COMMIT THE PERSON SO IF THEY COME OUT THAT COMES OUT TO A PSYCHIATRIC CASE. THEY HAVE THE ABILITY IN ORDER TO COMMIT THAT PERSON. WE CAN THEN DRINK THAT PERSON. RIGHT? YEAH. IF THEY'RE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO COMMIT THE THEY COME IN PERSON, THEY'RE LIABLE TO SEE THEM. BEHAVIOR IN MY CLOSET. I HAVE ONE QUESTION. WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO LEAVE US WITH THE DATA? YEAH. LITTLE SHEET YOU HAD YEAH. SEND IT LATER. YOU CAN JUST[00:30:05]

RESOURCE OFFICERS. YES YES, AGREED. YEAH I DON'T HAVE THE AMS DATA IN FRONT OF ME. YOU DO YOU KNOW THERE'S SOME SIMILARITIES, AT LEAST IN THE YOU KNOW, LIKE THAT FRIENDS ARE NEAR EACH OTHER. SO THERE'S DEFINITELY MANY OFFERS ARE OUT OF CALL FOR SITE ALL THE TIME TO SHIFT HOW MANY OFFICERS SHIP WITH MOVE THREE. OKAY WE'LL HAVE SIX OFFICERS PER SHIFT BECAUSE HE KEEPS ALL THAT DON'T ALWAYS TOO COULD BE OUT TO PEOPLE AROUND A CALL. THAT'S REALLY STRAINING RESEARCH. MINIMUM STAFFING IS EIGHT HOURS. 12 WILL RUN THREE GUYS, I'M SURE MENTALLY EXHAUSTING TRYING TO BUILD EACH SQUAD. FIVE YEAH, WE HAVE HEAVY STAFFING. YEAH. WE HAVE EXTRA PEOPLE DURING THE DAY. PATROLS RODS. THEY'RE BUILT ON FIVE. NOTHING QUICK. YOU HAVE ENOUGH CARS. IT'S MORE THE PEOPLE THAT YOU SHOWED UP CORRECT. YOU HAVE ENOUGH EQUIPMENT EQUIPMENT. MANPOWER WELL, I MEAN, I JUST HAVE A VERY MAYBE MORE OF A PERSONAL QUESTION, BUT AT LEAST FOR MENTAL HEALTH OF THE POLICE OFFICERS BECAUSE YOU'RE SEEING ALL THIS ESCALATION OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, SUICIDE PSYCHIATRIC ISSUES. I'M SURE IT TAKES A TOLL ON ALL OF YOU. SO DO YOU HAVE, I GUESS DEBRIEFINGS OR HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH THESE CRISIS? OKAY VERY GOOD RESILIENCY PROGRAM. CELIA BATCH WAS TELLING ME ABOUT IT. VERY IMPRESSIVE. I WISH WE COULD OFFER THAT TO A LOT MORE PEOPLE. IT'S REALLY AN AMAZING PROGRAM. I WAS JUST CURIOUS. I'M SURE IT TAKES A TOLL ON YOU SINCE COVID AND IT'S A GREAT PROGRAM. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO. THANK YOU. WE REALLY APPRECIATE ALL YOU DO. BUT, YEAH. THE MONEY. TO NOTHING. DO YOU UNDERSTAND? THE POLICE DEPARTMENT? YES. THAT'S TERRIBLE. FROM TWO YEARS TO GET THE CARS.

WHAT WE'RE DOING AT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU HAVE ALL THIS DATA AND HOW WE CAN, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE BUDGET CONSTRAINTS. SO WHEN THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT THE COPS, I MEAN, THE BIGGEST THING I HEAR IN THE TOWNSHIP AND I'M OUT IS WE HAVE A LOT OF COPS WHO ARE VERY SOFT, YOU KNOW, SAFE TOWN, BUT PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE WHAT OUR COPS ARE DOING. YOU KNOW, THAT'S THAT'S A QUESTION. I GET ALL THE TIME. SO THE WHAT? THEY'RE SPENDING THEIR TIME ON OUR THINGS. IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S LIKE A CONTINUITY OF CARE ISSUE AS WELL ACROSS THESE DIFFERENT SERVICES SO WE CAN AT LEAST LOOKS ACROSS AND SEE WHAT'S GOING ON MOST OF OUR CALLS. WE HAD WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY. I WOULD SAY ONE OUT OF EVERY 10. THEY'RE NOT THERE, BUT USUALLY WE HAVE ONE IF NOT TWO. POLICE WITH US, BUT WE GO TO EVERY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. YOU KNOW, WE GO TO MOST OF THE SITE CALLS TO SO WE SEE THEM ON AND NEED A. THAT'S A GOOD THING FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW. BECAUSE WHAT WE GET AT THE TOWNSHIP BEING THE LEADERS IS WHY DO YOU HAVE SO MANY COPS? IT'S SUCH A SAFE TOWN . WHY? BECAUSE OUR BUDGETS ARE WE HAVE AT THIS MOMENT, 34. BUT YOU KNOW, WE'LL EVEN HAVE POLICE RIDING REALLY ONLY LIKE FIVE. I HAD A REALLY BELLIGERENT PATIENT . THE POLICEMAN RODE IN THE AMBULANCE WITH US, IN OTHER WORDS FOLLOWED RIGHT THERE TO
[00:35:04]
POLICE CARDS ARE GONE. YEAH I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT. IT'S A MESSAGE THAT NEEDS TO BE SURE.MANY OF YOU MOST OF YOU LIVE IN TOWN AND YOU HEAR IT. WE HEAR IT EVERY TIME WE'RE OUT, JUST LIKE WHY DO YOU HAVE ANY COPS RIGHT? PEOPLE DO NOT UNDERSTAND. DON'T MAKE MISTAKES. DON'T MAKE ME SMACK THE GAVEL GONNA WE'RE GONNA MOVE ON. YOU READY? YEAH. OKAY. THE NEXT THIS ITEM IS
[VI. Public Health and Social Services ]
PUBLIC HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES. YEAH I JUST WANTED TO SUMMARIZE. YOU KNOW WHAT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT SAID. AND AGAIN, YOU KNOW, OUR GOAL IS TO GET A BETTER PICTURE OF WHAT SOCIAL SERVICES LOOKS LIKE IN TOWN BECAUSE IT WILL HELP US YET. WE DO NOT HAVE OUR OWN DIVISION OF HUMAN SERVICES. WE NEED A MORE COMPREHENSIVE AND PROACTIVE APPROACH AND HOW TO MANAGE AND PLAN FOR FUTURE HUMAN SERVICES NEEDS AS THE TOWN IS GROWING AS WE'RE SEEING MORE DEVELOPMENTS COMING INTO TOWN, SO WE ALMOST NEED A MINI STRATEGIC PLAN OF THIS WHOLE.PROCESS OF PROJECT IF YOU WILL, AND I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'VE BEEN CARRYIN HAD MENTIONED WAS TO REALLY PARTNER WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT. I THINK THERE IS A NEED TO WORK WITH LOCAL PLANNING AND ZONING TO SEE. HOW CAN HOW CAN THE DEVELOPMENT OR, UM HOUSING PROJECTS BE DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE SOCIAL SERVICES AND PUBLIC HEALTH NEEDS. BECAUSE THERE HAS TO BE UH, AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADVOCATE FOR COMMUNITY SPACES THAT CAN SERVE AS CENTERS OR, YOU KNOW. SOMETHING WHERE WE ARE NOT OVERBURDENING OUR EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE OR PLANNING FOR UM, YOU KNOW BETTER INFRASTRUCTURE BASED ON CHANGING NEEDS IN TOWN, SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S NEW THAT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO LOOK AT.
AND I THINK THAT SHOULD BE A BIG COMPONENT OF OUR STRATEGIC PLAN. UM SOCIAL SERVICES STRATEGIC PLAN. BUT. YOU KNOW, WE. OUR GOAL IS TO WORK WITH KEELY TO REALLY GET OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY TO HAVE A BETTER SENSE OF WHAT IS GOING ON. SOMETIMES WE FIND OUT ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING FROM OUR FIRST RESPONDERS. MOST OF THE TIME WE FIND OUT FROM THE FIRST RESPONDERS. SOMETIMES IT'S FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, BUT BUT LATELY WE ALSO HAVE BEEN GETTING MORE REQUESTS FROM THE COMMUNITY FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS FROM PEOPLE THAT ARE IN NEED OF SERVICES. AND THAT IS THAT IS NEW TO US TO GET THAT LEVEL OF, UM UH UM. SERVICE CALLS FROM THE COMMUNITY, SO THE GOAL WILL BE FOR KEELY TO REALLY HELP US DO THOSE WINDSHIELD ASSESSMENTS OR OTHER DATA ASSESSMENTS, UM, TO GET OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY MEET WITH DIFFERENT STAKEHOLDERS AND PARTNERS, ESPECIALLY AT THE DIFFERENT MULTI UNIT HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS IN TOWN. UM THEY THERE THERE IS A STRONG NEED FOR EDUCATION AND SHARING RESOURCES. UM AND ALSO IDENTIFYING WHAT THEIR NEEDS AND CONCERNS ARE, TOO SO WE'RE LEARNING A LOT, EVEN JUST FROM THE ONE EVENT THAT WE DID, UM, WAS IT TWO WEEKS AGO? UM AT MONTGOMERY CROSSINGS. OH YEAH, THAT WAS ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD. AND THEN WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE COMING UP, SO THAT REALLY HELPS PEOPLE WHO ATTENDED WERE MOBILITY IMPAIRED WHEELCHAIR BOUND. AND SO THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION THAT WE CAN LEARN FROM THEM THEIR BARRIERS TO TRANSPORTATION THAT WE WEREN'T AWARE OF THE LEVEL OF YOU KNOW WHAT THEY'RE HAVING TO GO THROUGH, UM SO I THINK THESE NEEDS ARE GOING TO GROW. UM THERE'S. WE HAVE TO WORK WITH SOMERSET COUNTY HUMAN SERVICES. THEY HAVE RESOURCES. THEY ARE 11 THING WE HAVE TO LOOK AT IS HOW THEY'RE WORKING WITH DIFFERENT TOWNS WITHIN THE COUNTY. I KNOW THEY HAVE A SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT WITH BRIDGEWATER. SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE SHOULD EXPLORE MORE BECAUSE I THINK ADVOCACY IS GOING TO BE VERY IMPORTANT AND THAT'S WHERE YOU KNOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO RELY ON THE BOARD AND THE TOWNSHIP COMMITTEE TO HELP US GET THOSE RESOURCES AND THOSE I GUESS THOSE STRUCTURES IN PLACE FOR HUMAN SERVICES OR SOCIAL SERVICES BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THAT RIGHT NOW, KEELEY'S OUR SOCIAL SERVICES. SHE'S LIKE, I HAVE A LOT ON MY SHOULDERS. PEOPLE YEAH , SHE AND ACHILLES GRANT FUNDED SO AFTER WE DON'T KNOW, AFTER JUNE 30TH 2024 WHAT HAPPENED? SO YOU KNOW, I'VE. UM YOU KNOW, SO THE GOAL IS, YOU KNOW IF THERE ISN'T GRANT FUNDING THAT THE TOWNSHIP STRONGLY CONSIDER MAKING THAT A PERMANENT POSITION BECAUSE IT IS A NEED IN TOWN, AND IT BENEFITS THE TOWNSHIP, UM SO THAT WAS JUST ME. YOU KNOW, I APPRECIATE IT. I'LL MAKE SURE THAT THE BUDGET HERE IS IT AS WELL. BUT I UNDERSTAND IT. WE DO NEED IT. IT'S JUST IT'S STUFF. SOMETIMES I'M SURE HE'LL EU YOU'RE AMAZING. AND YOU'RE A BIG ASSET. SHE KNOWS THE GIRL. SHE KNOWS SHE'S SHE'S NOT. WE CAN ONLY YOU KNOW, BUT YEAH, OKAY.
WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO LEVERAGE EVERY RESOURCE AVAILABLE EITHER AT THE TOWNSHIP COUNTY LEVEL
[00:40:03]
STATE LEVEL THAT WE CAN. WELL, I THINK WE SHOULD CLAP INTO THE COUNTY A LITTLE MORE AS WELL. I FEEL THAT WE'RE NOT ENOUGH OF A SQUEAKY WHEEL AND WE NEED TO DO THAT BECAUSE THEY DO HAVE A LOT OF RESOURCES AS WE HEARD THE BONDI ON THAT DAY AS WELL. THEY DO. IT'S JUST WE NEED TO MAYBE KNOCK ON A FEW MORE DOORS. FOR THEM AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY KNOW WE'RE HERE. WE'RE GONNA NEED YOUR HELP WITH THAT, TOO, THOUGH, BECAUSE THEY HAVE AN INTERIM HEALTH DIRECTOR. THEY DON'T HAVE THEY LOST THEIR YES. YES I DID HEAR THAT, AND THEY'VE BEEN REACHING OUT TO THE RANGE, SO IT'S LIKE HE'S TRYING TO HELP THE COUNTY INSTEAD OF, YOU KNOW THE OTHER WAY AROUND. SO YEAH, I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND. I THINK YOUR AND THEN YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT STAFFING UPDATE. HOW'S IT GOING ? GOOD SEGUE. UM DID YOU MOVE ON TO HEALTH OFFICER? COMMENTS THIS WILL BE PART OF THAT. JUST WANT[VII. Health Officer Comments]
TO MAKE SURE FOR THE RECORDS. CARRION WANTS IT DONE THE RIGHT I DON'T WANT TO. OFFICER CRACKER FOR COMMENTS STAFFING OUR CURRENT ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICER. SHE RESIGNED. SHE WE HAVE UNTIL AUGUST 17TH. SHE FOUND A GREAT OPPORTUNITY. SO I'M LIKE THIS IS A MEETING WHERE I'M GOING TO HEAR ABOUT ALL THE STUFF THAT NEEDS MONEY LIKE PLAGUED. NO JOKE THERE. IT IS A TOUGH JOB.AS DR SHARMA SAID, THAT'S THE REASON I'M HERE TO HEAR WHAT ALL IS NEEDED BY THE HEALTH BOARD.
SO I CAN SAY WE NEED MONEY HERE AND YOU KNOW THERE IS AN THERE IS A NEED TO RESTRUCTURE. THE POSITION BECAUSE WE HAVE A FULL TIME POSITION AND WE HAVE A PART TIME POSITION, AND OUR CURRENT ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICER HAS BEEN ON CALL 24 7. WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE PRINCETON BUT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO REALLY, YOU KNOW, STEP AWAY EVEN WHEN YOU'RE OFF ITS. WE'RE ALWAYS WORKING ALL THE TIME. SO YOU KNOW FOR AND ESPECIALLY WITH THAT, AND PART TIME ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICER AND THE WAY OUR CURRENT POSITION IS IT'S ONLY WEEKENDS, NO BENEFITS , SO IT IS VERY CULTURALLY. WE HAVE TO RESTRUCTURE IT IN A WAY THAT INCENTIVIZE OKAY, OKAY, I'M HEARING EVERYBODY ON THE HEALTH BOARD, LIKE WHAT KIND OF A JOB IS THAT? BUT IT IS A JOB. I THINK WE NEED TO BE INTERESTED IN THE POSITION WE HAVE WE HAVE WE HAVE A POSITION. IT'S JUST I MEAN, COULD WE RESTRUCTURED WHERE THERE'S LIKE, TWO PART TIMES AND THEY SHARE SO IT'S NOT JUST 143 PART TIMES, WHATEVER DIVVY UP THE RESPONSIBILITIES, THINK THE WAY WE, UM PRINCETON IS DOING IT IN A VERY SIMILAR SITUATION AS US THEY HAVE THEIR FULL TIME PERSON, AND THEY'RE RECRUITING INTERNALLY WITHIN THEIR TOWNSHIP. AND PAYING FOR WHOEVER IS INTERESTED TO GO TO ANIMAL CONTROL SCHOOL THAT WAY THEY CAN AT LEAST BE ON CALL AND RESPOND AS NEEDED, AND THEN THEY'RE PAYING THEIR INCENTIVIZED THE ON CALL PESOS FOR WEEKEND COVERAGE. IT'S UM, AN AUTOMATIC $200 TO JUST HOLD THE PHONE. AND THEN YOU KNOW, BECAUSE YEAH, WHEREAS FOR US, WE ARE $40 A WEEK, SO THAT'S NOT IT. SO THE DO THE SAME. BUT WE CAN'T EXACTLY I THINK YOU KNOW THE ARE NOBODY WORKING EXACTLY.
WHAT ARE WE RIGHT NOW? IN AUGUST AFTER SHE RESIGNS? WAIT WHAT HAPPENED HERE? SO RIGHT NOW WE'VE POSTED THE POSITION. WE'RE HOPING WE GET APPLICANTS. UM IN THE MEANTIME, PRINCETON HAS OFFERED TO HELP US HELP COVER FOR US IN THE MEANTIME, BUT BILLING US FOR THEIR SERVICES.
WE HAVE A SHARED SERVICES AGREEMENTS FOR ANIMAL CONTROL WITH PRINCETON, AND WE'VE HELPED EACH OTHER. ABOUT AND WE'RE VERY LUCKY TO HAVE THAT RELATIONSHIP. OTHERWISE I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE WOULD DO. DO THEY HAVE? HILLSBORO HILLSBORO HAS AN ANIMAL CONTROL SOLUTIONS PRIVATE COMPANY BASED ON THE NEEDS OF MONTGOMERY TOWNSHIP AGAIN, VERY SIMILAR TO PRINCETON. ANIMAL CONTROL SOLUTIONS WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO MEET THOSE NEEDS, THE LEVEL OF SERVICE WOULD GO DOWN.
THE RESPONSE TIMES WOULD INCREASE IT WOULD CAUSE AN UNNECESSARY, UNNECESSARY BURDEN ON THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND DISPATCH. BECAUSE IT WILL TAKE LONGER FOR THEM TO RESPOND, AND THEY DON'T DO. UM A LOT OF THE SERVICES THAT ARE IN HOUSE ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICER DOES. UM AND YOU SAID THE ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICER WAS OVERWHELMED. WHAT KIND OF CALLS ARE THEY GETTING, DEAR? IT'S EVERYTHING YOU KNOW. AND I CAN SEND YOU A COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF YOU DON'T MIND SHARING BECAUSE WHEN WE ARE HONESTLY, UM, LET'S BE HONEST. IT'S BUDGET HAS ALREADY PASSED.
SO MAYBE FOR NEXT YEAR AT SOMETHING THAT WE CAN KEEP IN MIND. BUT AS YOU KNOW, THINGS GET REALLY TIGHT WHEN IT'S BUDGET TIME, AND I DON'T WANT TO BRING UP THIS, BUT I DEFINITELY WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. IF YOU CAN SEND ME WHAT YOU'RE SEEING FOR THE ANIMAL OFFICER. WHAT KIND OF CALLS THEY'RE GETTING, THEN WE CAN CAN THEY ASK FOR TWO FULL TIME
[00:45:01]
POSITIONS, BECAUSE, UM. TO COVER WEEKENDS, EVEN ON CALL FOR WEEKENDS. YEAH INCENTIVIZED. IF YOU WANT TO WRITE THAT THE WANG JIAN SENT IT TO ME, AND I'LL HAVE A DISCUSSION WITH THE BUDGET COMMITTEE AND SEE THAT FEASIBLE AND LET ME HEAR BACK FROM THEM AS TO WHAT THEY THINK.OBVIOUSLY, THIS YEAR'S BUDGET IS DONE. BUT NEXT YEAR TRY AND SEE WHAT CAN BE. JUST WANT TO GET SOME MORE, UM, PALATABLE TO SOMEBODY HAVE A FULL TIME JOB AND THEN YOU HAVE THE WEEKEND IF YOU HAVEN'T COVERED WEEKENDS AND NIGHTTIME THAT EVERYTHING I DON'T THINK TWO FULL TIME PEOPLE TOO MUCH TO ASK WITH BENEFITS OF EVIDENCE AND PROPER AND VIGOROUS AS IF I CONTROL THE BUDGET. GOOD TO TELL GO WILD WITH ANIMALS AND THEN LET THEM ALL GO. EVERYTHING BUT DON'T YOU THINK, CHRIS? WE ALSO NEED TO DO MORE OF AN EDUCATION BECAUSE I'M SURE YOU'RE GETTING A LOT OF CALLS ABOUT SNAKES ABOUT. I SAW A LITTLE ANIMAL IN MY BACKYARD. AND WHO'S THAT ANIMAL? COME AND GET MY ANIMAL. I MEAN, I LITERALLY KNOW THAT PEOPLE HAVE DONE THAT BECAUSE I'M TALKING TO SIT AND RESIDENTS WHO ARE NEW WHO HAVE MOVED OUT OF PERHAPS NEW YORK, JOSEPH CITY. THEY'RE LIKE WHAT IS IN MY I GET PICTURES FROM PEOPLE. NINA WHAT'S IN MY BACKYARD? I'M LIKE THAT'S NOT IN MY JOB DESCRIPTION . CHRIS CHRIS AND I LET TWO MEETINGS AGO WE WENT THROUGH SOME OF THE CALLS. JUST HELP US BE ELECTED. YOU GO KILL THE IN PART TIME COUNTRY. TO COVER THE WEEKENDS. LIPSTICK AMOUNT THAT THEY'RE VOTING IS MORE THAN WHAT WE WOULD PAY A PART TIME PERSON.
YEAH. AND IT'S LESS. YOU KNOW, IT'S LESS SERVICES THAT THEY PROVIDE AND YOU'RE GOING TO SEE MORE RESIDENT COMPLAINTS. UM, BECAUSE PEOPLE PANIC AND THEY WANT AN ANSWER RIGHT AWAY AND THAT THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THAT. THERE'LL BE MORE, UM DISPATCH WILL BE INUNDATED WITH THOSE TYPES OF CALLS, WHICH IS NOT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. THE CALL TO THE POLICE. I FORGET.
HOW DOES THAT WORK? SO IF IT'S BUSINESS HOURS, UM THEY'RE NOT GONNA ANIMAL CONTROL WILL GET THE CALL. BUT NOW WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN? GOING FORWARD WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH DISPATCH. YEAH, THAT'S TRUE. THE PRESENTATION FROM THE POLICE OFFICER SAYING WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH POLICE OFFICERS. KIM, CAN WE HIRE MORE? POLICE HAVE A REFRIGERATOR? CAN YOU BRING IT UP THE BUDGET PEOPLE THAT WE NEED TO FULL TIME POSITIONS WITH BENEFITS. I WILL BRING IT UP. THANK YOU. SO I HAVE A REQUEST. LEVANGIE. MAYBE I COULD HELP PUT IT TOGETHER. BUT WE COULD TAKE PICTURES OF THE ANIMALS AND MAYBE WITH THE EXPERT VET HERE. WHAT WE COMMONLY SEE. I JUST HAD A SNAPPING TURTLE IN MY BACKYARD IN MAY. I WENT OUT ONE MORNING, MY BIRD FEEDER. NO, NO, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT WAS. I PUT IT ON OUR FACEBOOK MONTGOMERY PAGE . AND BECAUSE IT WILL BITE YOU.
IT'S A GOOD ONE. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. BUT I DID NOT MAKE IT UNNECESSARY CALL BECAUSE FEW HOURS LATER, I WENT AND IT HAD GONE ON. THAT'S RIGHT. SO IT WAS GOOD BECAUSE WE CROWDSOURCE, BUT I WONDER IF WE CAN PUT EDUCATIONAL INFO ON THESE LOCAL. THAT'S WHAT I SAID. YOU NEED AN EDUCATIONAL FLYER, SO PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THEY CAN EXPECT. PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THE EASY SCARED AND I THINK, I THINK MAYBE LIKE A GRAPHIC PICTURE. WHAT? WHAT ACTION DO YOU TAKE? NOTHING DO YOU CALL BECAUSE I'M SURE THE POLICE ARE NOT GOING TO APPRECIATE ALL THE THESE CALLS AFTER ESPECIALLY AFTER THAT, BRIDGEWATER SNAKE GETTING PEOPLE WENT CRAZY. CRAZY YES, WATER FEEL LIKE MAYBE SOME EDUCATION POISON. YEAH YEAH. FLYER OUT OR SOMETHING, AND FOR A MINUTE. I DIDN'T KNOW WE HAD CORPORATE HEADS, OKAY? YES. OKAY. I DON'T KNOW. I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE.
STARTING NEXT WEEKEND. OR WE COULD MAYBE ASK THE NEWSPAPER TO DO LIKE SOMETHING I THINK WE'LL HAVE LIKE WE COULD PROBABLY PUT A COMPREHENSIVE STAFFING AGENDA ITEM NEXT MEETING TO JUST SO WE HAVE A SENSE OF LIKE, WE DON'T KEEP SAYING, HEY, NINA, WE NEED CAN YOU GET THIS? CAN YOU GET THAT YOU ARE SANTA CLAUS OVER THERE. COULD YOU PLEASE GET US MORE? AND YOU KNOW THE BUDGET COMMITTEE IS NOT YES. WHO'S PAYING FOR THIS? YEAH AND I THINK WE CAN MAKE A VALID CASE.
I MEAN, WE YEAH, IT WOULD BE BEST IF IT'S A CASE MADE WITH SOME UNDERSTOOD SOMETHING. YEAH WE NEVER REPLACED THAT WITH THE BANK AND THEN WE NEVER REPLACES TO JUST TOGETHER. OKAY? WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON. ARE YOU DONE LATER? YEAH JESUS. SORRY OKAY. GETTING THAT GAVEL GOING, OKAY.
