CITY COUNCIL AGENDA PACKET - Laserfiche WebLink

Application :: Page 8 of 18 Community Collaboration and Engagement: As of September 28, 2021, the Pleasanton Police Department formed Community Advisory Board (CAB) giving an opportunity for community members to have their voice heard. To promote trust and transparency, the Community Advisory Board will focus on public safety issues and engage in productive conversation with leadership at Pleasanton Police Department. Chief Swing will lead CAB meetings monthly and discussions may cover topics such as mental health response, use of force, and technology. Members will provide insights while weighing in on matters of policy and procedure. It was critical the make-up of the CAB reflected the diversity of our community. Diversity in all areas including race, gender, age, faith, thought, and experience. Members of PPD's Traffic Unit, along with members of the Traffic Engineering Office, attend bi-monthly meeting with the Pleasanton Bicycle Coalition. This coalition is comprised of Pleasanton residents who frequently ride bicycles in and around our community. Together we discuss safety concerns to include roadway signage, dedicated bicycle lanes, enforcement, and education of both motorists and cyclists. Recommendation from all involved parties are also presented to Pleasanton City Council regarding the aforementioned issues. The Pleasanton Police Department also conducts community outreach events, such as Coffee with a Cop and Cone with a Cop. These events allow citizens to have quality time with officers and management staff to have an open dialect about their traffic and crime concerns within the city. Page 210 of 782
