Parlier Police Chief outlines department vision while presenting third‑quarter crime report
Summary
At the Sept. 19 Parlier City Council meeting, the Police Chief presented the department's third‑quarter crime statistics and reviewed its mission and values, stressing community policing and a commitment to social justice; a brief recess followed due to technical difficulties.
At the Parlier City Council meeting on Sept. 19, 2024, the Police Chief presented the department's third‑quarter crime report and spent the bulk of the presentation outlining the department’s vision, mission and core values.
The Police Chief told the council and attendees that the Parlier Police Department aims “to be a trusted and respected police agency recognized for its excellent work in cultivating positive relationships in the spirit of community well‑being.” The Chief emphasized community policing, saying the department is “committed to promoting social justice, treating members with dignity, respect, fairness, safeguarding constitutional rights, providing equal protection under the law.”
During the remarks, the Chief described the department’s mission as focusing on proactive, problem‑oriented community policing through partnerships and various resources to address crime, fear of crime and neighborhood decline. The presentation listed values including integrity, courage, public service, compassion, diversity, excellence, trust and innovation.
Council business before the presentation included a procedural correction: an unidentified councilmember asked that two attached resolutions be referenced in the agenda and recorded with the numbers 2024‑458 (item 4) and 2024‑459 (item 5). The meeting moderator then allowed a brief recess after technical difficulties were reported with the PowerPoint so the Chief could reconnect and resume the presentation.
The transcript excerpt does not include detailed crime statistics (counts, rates, or comparisons) from the third‑quarter report. No formal vote or council action on the crime report occurred in the provided portion of the meeting. The council is expected to continue the presentation after the technical issue is resolved.
