Police chief reports on shooting incident, new vehicles and camera rule compliance
Summary
An agency official reported a recent in-home shooting with assault charges, the departments plan for two budgeted vehicles (one already received), exploration of new body-armor vendors, and preparations to comply with a new state camera registration checklist.
The agency official reported a firearm discharge inside a residence that led to charges including first- and fourth-degree assault and reckless endangerment; no injuries were reported. The official said enforcement action was taken and described department steps to manage equipment and maintenance costs: one budgeted vehicle has already been received and a second patrol vehicle is expected within a month.
On equipment, the official said they are evaluating outer carriers from a company called Angel Armor and noted a potential $2,000 savings if adopted; they also described an effort to get ahead of a new state requirement to register certain cameras, saying the department will submit letters and coordinate with the attorney generals office to clarify the process. The official recounted borrowing a live rock camera from Yakima County Sheriff's Office for events and said live cameras will soon be installed permanently.
