Attorney General’s office advising there were no racial or other biased-based profiling

Old Business.
Chief Hill requested that board members continue to keep the lines of communication open
between the community and law enforcement. This is the most positive means of solving
issues, whether they are real or rumor.
Sheriff Kochanowski advised the departments are preparing to host another Citizen’s
Academy but are finding it difficult to find enough people to attend. Gary suggested perhaps
targeting certain age groups, such as 20 year olds, in an attempt to educate a younger
demographic. Teresa suggested enlisting the help of a local college student to create a video
advertisement promoting the academy and use social media in order to reach a larger market.
