Chief Padilla presented an analysis of the pursuits in 2018. Pursuits are up
27% to 119 total. Chief Padilla believes this has a direct correlation to the
number of vehicle thefts in the area. Pursuits for lesser crimes are down 6%.
61% of pursuits happen at night and 68% are terminated by the officer or
the sergeant. 24% of pursuits ended in collision. 10 hour block training is
coming up this summer at Pacific Raceways.
Chief Padilla announced:
A new Parking Enforcement Officer will be starting on 4/16 and should be
trained within two weeks. One more position is authorized.
o Councilmember Thomas suggested a parking sticker for business
employees so they don't have to move their car.
