In a recent government meeting, discussions centered around the exclusion of Lieutenant Rich Stettner from command meetings following a controversial incident during a training session. The training, aimed at preparing officers for potential school shooter scenarios, involved the use of simunition rounds. During the session, Officer Jordan Legree's rifle malfunctioned, resulting in two officers, including Sergeant Rich Whalen, being struck in the head by the rounds.

Whalen's reaction during a subsequent command meeting raised concerns when he expressed a desire to physically confront Legree. This prompted Deputy Chief intervention, leading to a decision by the Chief to exclude Stettner from future command meetings due to the inappropriate nature of Whalen's comments.

The meeting also addressed the appointment of Bill Sanchez as the traffic unit supervisor. Questions arose regarding the communication of this decision, with it confirmed that the Chief had called Sanchez to inform him of the new role. However, there was no promise made regarding a promotion to the rank of lieutenant associated with this position.

The discussions highlighted issues of accountability and communication within the department, raising questions about the management of personnel and the handling of disciplinary matters. The meeting underscored the importance of maintaining professionalism and clear communication in law enforcement operations.
