Port Angeles Police Department Report: Chief Smith provided a handout on the City of Lake Forest Park
Photo Enforcement Program as a model for the program that City Council will be presenting. He has provided
information so that the Board can be informed and have an opinion either way and has asked that members take
the time to educate themselves on the proposal. Chief has invited the Board to come to the Council meeting to
share their thoughts/opinions on the proposal and will provide the date of that meeting when it is available. He
believes that the greatest resistance is that technology will be doing a job that a Police officer should be doing.
Chiefs proposal is to add some resources in order to make this happen such as filling a FT position that has
been vacant specifically for this. Nolan requested a breakdown of the cost of putting in the cameras as well as
what revenue the City would expect to collect from the cameras. Chief also noted that this will be a Council
Program not a PD program. Chief also shared that the Police Department participated in a training exercise with
the COHO and the Coast Guard base out on the water, Chief would like to invite Corporal Dombrowski to a
meeting to discuss what the exercise entailed. The Police Department is working on ways make the COHO
safer.
Port Angeles Fire Department Report: Chief Sanders began by touching base on the Community Paramedic
program as well as Fire Department hiring. The Fire Department is going down a path of hiring EMTs and
putting them through Paramedic School. The Department will be testing in May, hoping for 18 candidates to
interview to select 3-4 candidates from that group. Chief also noted that Chief Bogues did a tremendous
amount of work on a training Burn that was a great success, the entire Fire Department as well as volunteers
and CCFD2 were able to participate and train on the structure. Chief gave an update of upcoming Fire

unanimously.
NEW BUSINESS:
Alan opened the meeting by thanking Kiara for bringing treats for the group.
Port Angeles Police Department Report: Chief Smith provided a handout on the City of Lake Forest Park
Photo Enforcement Program as a model for the program that City Council will be presenting. He has provided
information so that the Board can be informed and have an opinion either way and has asked that members take
the time to educate themselves on the proposal. Chief has invited the Board to come to the Council meeting to
share their thoughts/opinions on the proposal and will provide the date of that meeting when it is available. He
believes that the greatest resistance is that technology will be doing a job that a Police officer should be doing.
Chiefs proposal is to add some resources in order to make this happen such as filling a FT position that has
been vacant specifically for this. Nolan requested a breakdown of the cost of putting in the cameras as well as
what revenue the City would expect to collect from the cameras. Chief also noted that this will be a Council
Program not a PD program. Chief also shared that the Police Department participated in a training exercise with
the COHO and the Coast Guard base out on the water, Chief would like to invite Corporal Dombrowski to a
meeting to discuss what the exercise entailed. The Police Department is working on ways make the COHO
safer.
Port Angeles Fire Department Report: Chief Sanders began by touching base on the Community Paramedic
program as well as Fire Department hiring. The Fire Department is going down a path of hiring EMTs and
putting them through Paramedic School. The Department will be testing in May, hoping for 18 candidates to
interview to select 3-4 candidates from that group. Chief also noted that Chief Bogues did a tremendous
amount of work on a training Burn that was a great success, the entire Fire Department as well as volunteers
and CCFD2 were able to participate and train on the structure. Chief gave an update of upcoming Fire
Department Events:
• May 6-lot" Sparky week, been running since 1964
• April 27th, partnering w Red Cross to install Smoke Detectors to high risk communities
• May 18th, Bike Safety Fair at Lincoln BMX Park
