Pima council hears police audit; chief outlines five-year improvement plan
Summary
Lt. Dan Olson presented results of a police audit and Police Chief Diane Cauthen responded with a five-year plan to address findings; the council heard the presentation and asked questions but took no formal action at the July 8 meeting.
Lt. Dan Olson of LD Consulting LLC presented the results of a police audit to the Pima Town Council on July 8. The audit findings were described to council members and staff during the New Business portion of the meeting.
Police Chief Diane Cauthen addressed the audit results and laid out a five-year plan intended to address the findings and improve department operations. The plan was described in general terms at the meeting; the transcript records that the chief "was able to address the findings and solutions with a 5-year plan with improvements for the department," but does not provide detailed line items or a written timeline in the record.
Council members heard the presentation and the chief’s response but did not take a formal vote or adopt the audit plan at the meeting. The presentation functions as departmental oversight and informs potential future budget or staffing considerations.
Why it matters: audit findings and the chief’s multi-year plan could inform staffing, training, equipment and budget decisions for the police department, especially since Chief Cauthen noted the department is currently down one officer.
Next steps: the council may consider the audit findings and any specific implementation steps, timelines or budget requests in subsequent meetings.
