Deputy City Manager Scotty Douglas presented a proposed schedule and supporting materials and recommended sequencing the remaining items so presenters would have time to prepare follow‑up information after initial briefings.

Under the calendar agreed at the meeting:

- June: Modesto Police Chief Jeffrey Gillespie is scheduled to present a response to the Office of Independent Review (OIR) annual report covering Jan. 2024–Dec. 2024.
- July: The CPRB will receive a draft of its 2025 annual report for review and feedback from the full board.
- August: A presentation by the Homeless Alliance is planned.
- September: A presentation on policing and homelessness is planned (intended to follow the Homeless Alliance session so MPD can respond to questions raised).
- October: Chief Gillespie’s formal response to the CPRB annual report is expected to be scheduled, subject to city review timelines.

Deputy City Manager Douglas said staff recommends placing the CPRB annual report draft on a future agenda only when the subcommittee is ready to present it and that the Homeless Alliance briefing be followed by a policing session the next month so police staff can prepare answers to any questions.

Board members and the city attorney discussed how the Brown Act (California’s open‑meeting law) limits communications outside public meetings. City Attorney Alex advised that the board must avoid deliberations by a majority of members outside of a publicly noticed meeting, meaning individual board members should not coordinate recommendations among a quorum by email or other off‑record means. Alex said that a subcommittee smaller than a quorum may meet and coordinate drafts, but any broader board discussion must occur in open session.

The board discussed options for collecting input on the annual report without violating the Brown Act. Some board members suggested providing a draft to the full board with several weeks’ notice so members could review it and bring comments to a public meeting; others suggested the subcommittee solicit input through the public agenda process. Deputy City Manager Douglas and subcommittee members agreed staff would attempt to provide board members with a draft sufficiently in advance to permit informed comment at a public meeting.

The clerk recorded a motion to approve the calendar. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote; the meeting minutes record the vote as \"Aye.\" Individual roll‑call tallies were not recorded in the transcript.

Ending

The board approved the calendar and left November and December open for additional topics. The CPRB subcommittee agreed to continue drafting the annual report and to coordinate with staff on a timeline that will allow city review and attorney comments before a final board vote.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Community Police Review Board Meeting: May 21, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Modesto Community Police Review Board voted to approve its calendar of topics for the rest of 2025 at its May 21 meeting and set a timeline for the board’s annual report process and several public presentations.","taxTitle","Modesto City, Stanislaus County, California","taxId",3811,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6534945,"Modesto police detail youth and community outreach as crime‑prevention unit grows",1308,161000,1469000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3447223-71efd85630d1a3d920121e47a436e689&start=161&end=1469","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3447223-71efd85630d1a3d920121e47a436e689/thumbnail_161000.jpg","/articles/6534945/Modesto-City/Stanislaus-County/California/Modesto-police-detail-youth-and-community-outreach-as-crimeprevention-unit-grows","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6534945-c0b939559daf7c845aadb24a7564284e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771134521&Signature=CS1dZ-uXTJ1OmQFonAltwafJoQdZjJSf4C6AWYk~wpBMdCJ5q-bnBanquRWx67cpDpBeovxep0bMpKf0q7kuPEpGGXtVw49-BXGTldW-bwN~jWTspmAVclat77Bv~4E8~kICf~PkueL6riOK29eBKaCf9cLF1wvRDCZOcThMbJhasGto28rUfwa8R~~a4jzwMLVA-ltICAtaNcUkiPA~NzKr07pa-XJiECj94CAHdlqYbrpkU0cXMP6E~h0nkbNuyyY47xVxEQMkpW-4jMiH1e6AEs9ejttl3UKHpbRm74a1WiLJuEE0nrcDPaxvS5Y~SwDeEqWTduGjQL7riGka0Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Lieutenant Brian Kleiber, Modesto Police Department, told the Community Police Review Board on May 21 that the department has expanded its community engagement activities and is rebuilding its crime prevention staffing after recent shortages.

\"If there's anything that you see that we're falling short on, that's what we're here for — let us know any other ideas you have that we could reach out to folks within our community,\" Kleiber said as he summarized programs the department runs or supports.

Kleiber told the board the department’s crime prevention unit had just one staffer through mid‑2024. In July 2024 a second full‑time employee was added and a third was hired in March 2025, Kleiber said, enabling the unit to resume a larger slate of community activities.

He reviewed roughly 14 months of events and programs. Highlights included National Night Out (this year on Aug. 5), which Kleiber said drew 92 registered neighborhood parties last year and placed Modesto first in California and sixth nationally by that registration measure. He described recurring efforts aimed at youth, including the Wake Up program for 12‑ to 17‑year‑olds (an eight‑week class that requires a parent or guardian to attend), a two‑day MPD Youth Academy for ages 13–17, a CSI camp for ages 8–13 (currently on a waiting list), monthly “Coffee with a Cop” events and regular school career‑day visits.

Kleiber also listed neighborhood watch meetings (15 since March 2024), four community town halls (Woodland, Oakdale Road, Carver Road and Martin Luther King), open houses for potential applicants, K‑9 demonstrations and seasonal fundraising and outreach such as a Santa Paws event and toy drives delivered to local families.

Board members pressed Kleiber on how the programs are targeted and whether they are benefiting specific student populations. One board member asked whether many of the school programs focus on Mark Twain, Robertson Road and Hanshaw — neighborhoods that the board described as higher‑need — and Kleiber said the department receives many requests from those schools and that one grant the department received (a CalVIP grant) required identifying a target area by data points.

Kleiber and others acknowledged the difficulty of proving a direct causal link between programs and arrest or discipline statistics. He said Modesto City Schools data showed disciplinary rates had fallen for some schools, but Kleiber cautioned that the programs have different start dates and that it is difficult to separate police efforts from other community interventions. \"Getting exact metrics is difficult when we're not the lead agency on that,\" Kleiber said.

A public commenter identified as Karim suggested tracking progress reports and school grades for students who enter programs as a possible performance measure. \"Maybe you guys can get the data from progress reports, grades,\" Karim said, urging the department to compare behavioral and academic data before and after program participation.

Board members and commenters also discussed using video and anecdotal stories to document program impact and suggested expanding how the city and partners publicize successes. Kleiber said some programs rely on in‑kind officer time rather than direct budget allocations and that some positions and activities are paid for by grants or partner organizations.

The presentation closed with board members and staff discussing follow‑up requests for program cost details and data collection. Kleiber said staff would try to return hard cost estimates for some programs and that the department is open to suggestions about improving measurement and outreach.

Ending

Board members took no formal action on the presentation. The department was asked to follow up with cost estimates and to explore whether partner agencies can share program‑level outcome data.","At the May 21 Community Police Review Board meeting, a Modesto Police Department lieutenant outlined more than a dozen community programs — from National Night Out to youth academies — and said the department’s crime prevention unit has expanded to three officers after staffing shortages.","actionData","errors"]
