Board members question whether law enforcement presence has been an effective deterrent
Summary
Members discussed law enforcement presence as part of an operational option and noted uncertainty about whether officers had been a deterrent; one member said officers are 'limited in what they can do when they come across the situation.'
A committee member raised law enforcement presence as a factor in considering an operational option, saying simply, "Law enforcement. And so they're they're limited in what they can do when they come across the situation." Members said they had no data indicating whether the presence had functioned as a deterrent since the program restarted.
