Police chief reports staffing gains, requests more body‑camera licenses
Summary
Police Chief Canady told the council that Officer Smith has graduated the academy and is on field training, Officer Bias completed FTO and is on patrol, and the AXON body camera contract needs more user licenses; the department has asked the PUD about a light pole and is exploring school-zone sign replacement options.
Police Chief Canady updated the council on personnel and equipment. He said "Officer Smith has graduated academy and is on FTO. Officer Bias has completed FTO and is now on patrol." Canady reported the department has requested a light pole from the PUD between the Senior Center and the police department and is exploring options to replace the school-zone light/sign.
Chief Canady also raised an equipment procurement issue: the AXON body camera contract currently lacks enough user licenses for the department, and officials have requested a revised quote. The report places the matter with staff for follow-up but did not record a council directive or funding decision at the meeting.
