Sheriff, Denton and Greensboro police brief ACC on staffing, arrests and operations; PACK grant cut noted

Captains and officers from local law-enforcement agencies updated the Administrative Charging Committee on recent activity, staffing and policy-tracking tools.

For the sheriff's office, the presenter said there have been 153 arrests since the last meeting (about 10 were felonies and roughly 143 were misdemeanors), and reported 27 sworn personnel with four current openings; the office participates in community events including memorials, parades and active-shooter panels. The presenter said the agency uses Lexipol for policy updates and plans to roll out a new website in January.

Lieutenant Jackson of the Denton Police Department reported 12 misdemeanor arrests (including two juveniles), four traffic arrests (none DWI), 2,227 calls for service during the period and a staffing level of 14 officers with two vacancies and one on extended leave; one candidate is in final background stages.

A Greensboro representative, identified as Sergeant Jeff, reported activity including trick-or-treat coverage and the addition of a new officer; speakers read four arrests (one felony, two misdemeanors), and noted 15 K-9 scans with 10 positive alerts and a DUI incident that resulted in a collision. Agencies confirmed they are tracking policies through Lexipol and shared that the PACK grant was cut significantly, affecting I-Pro tracking software access for LEAs; departments will need to self-fund the software if they want continued access.

Committee members also described a new shared-drive process with the sheriff's office that provides investigative files and body-worn camera footage to ACC members ahead of meetings, reducing paper circulation and helping members review materials in advance; files are deleted from the shared drive after review.

The ACC recorded these routine reports; no formal actions were taken on staffing or grant funding at this meeting.
