UPD leadership changes announced; noise‑camera project still without timeline
Summary
Chief Jason Mazuran announced promotions at the Unified Police Department and acknowledged the need to better communicate shared‑service value; he said the noise‑camera project has experienced setbacks and lacks a current status update, and the Council discussed portable/shared deployment and more nighttime patrols.
Chief Jason Mazuran told the Council that Justin Hoyle had been appointed Assistant Chief and ratified by the UPD Board and introduced newly promoted Chief Luis Lovato into a shared‑services leadership role. "Justin Hoyle had been appointed Assistant Chief and ratified by the UPD Board," Mazuran said, adding that the appointment would strengthen leadership and responsiveness.
Council Member Jennifer Hawkes and residents pressed for updates on the noise‑camera initiative. Mazuran said the project had experienced changes and setbacks and that he did not have a current status update, but committed to follow up with staff. Mayor David Brems suggested exploring a portable camera shared among neighboring cities because of equipment costs; Council Member Robert Pinon confirmed the City was coordinating with UPD on increased nighttime patrols responding to resident complaints about speeding and loud vehicles.
