Police chief highlights training center, 'digital shield' and real-time crime center built with SPLOST support
Summary
Police Chief Greg Padrick told the committee that modern facilities and a new real-time crime center supported by SPLOST funds are central to training and operations and help attract and retain staff.
Police Chief Greg Padrick described why facility investment matters for training, recruitment and operations, emphasizing the East Precinct/Bruce Street site that houses a precinct, the police academy and a training facility. ‘‘It matters for professional development. It matters for preparing our officers, making sure that they are properly trained and ready to serve our communities,’’ Padrick said.
Padrick also highlighted the department's ‘‘digital shield’’ and a real-time crime center that, he said, other agencies tour as a model. He acknowledged the center's operational sensitivity but said staff can arrange tours of the Bruce Street campus and potentially the real-time crime center with scheduling constraints.
