President Pro Tem DeLucia asked the departments to discuss fine- tuning their run cards prior to submitting to the vendor within their department updates. VI. New Business: a. Discussion and Possible Action: Requesting a letter of support from the City Council to the CT Legislature for Proposed Bill #43 “An Act Concerning Funding for Regional Fire Training Schools”. President Pro Tem DeLucia explained that the proposed bill would make the funding of regional fire training schools a line item in the state budget. Alderwoman Stacy Gould made a motion to request a letter of support from Norwich City Council to the state legislature for the proposed bill for Proposed Bill #43 “An Act Concerning Funding for Regional Fire Training Schools.” Alderwoman Tracey Burto seconded. President Pro Tem DeLucia stated he was happy the Committee was given the opportunity to support the bill.

Department and Agency Updates: SEE ADDENDUM II FOR MONTHLY STATISTICAL REPORTS i. NPU Update: Barry Ellison reported that NPU’s employee COVID vaccination rate was up to 88% and they had no recent major outbreaks.

Patrick Gauthier stated that PPE supplies were well stocked and that one member tested positive for COVID in the last month. Patrick Gauthier reported that AA had lifted its mask mandate, is open to the public and that proper PPE is worn on all calls. iii. Police Department Update: Chief Patrick Daley stated abnormal events continued within town and that investigations into recent shootings had gone well. Chief Daley noted the retirement of Julie St. Gene. Chief Daley stated that city and public buildings had recently been hit with a heavy wave of graffiti. President Pro Tem DeLucia asked if the city had been affected by catalytic converter thefts. Chief Daley responded it had and there seemed to be on average one to two occurrences a week. Chief Daley stated the thefts more recently seemed to target shopping centers and hotel parking lots. Chief Daley noted that the Connecticut Police Chief was in favor of marking catalytic converters difficult to sell but Connecticut’s proximity to other states made prevention difficult. Chief Daley discussed various crime factors. Chief Daley stated that once NPD is able to acquire more suitable officers the local response would be increased officer patrols. Alderwoman Gould asked what the intended use was for the $350,000 ARPA funds requested by NPD for public safety expansion. Chief Daley responded that NPD would like to double the amount of cameras it has in the city and would like to add fixed license plate readers on some of the main routes in town to assist in crime resolution. iv. Emergency Management Update: Chief Tracy Montoya reported that the radiological metering equipment swapped out with state in the past month and the annual CERT report was submitted. Chief Montoya reiterated that any city and public agencies can contact EM for PPE supplies. Chief Montoya discussed various meetings attended in the past month. v. Fire Department Updates 1.

Chief Montoya reported he met virtually with American Ambulance regarding EMD calls and the way they are coded out. Chief Mont discussed a brief history of issues with EMD call dispatching. Alderwoman Gould asked what types of codes were added to the list of firefighter emergency responses. Chief Montoyta responded that nine codes were added but he would get back to the Committee on which specific codes. Alderwoman Gould asked who would be responsible for the services provided at 86 Water Street. Chief Montoya referred to Barry Ellison of NPU who responded that there was no definitive answer yet but a best outcome is being worked on and that there may be an ownership issue. Barry Ellison stated the Waste Water Committee could notify the Public Safety Committee of updates. President Pro Tem DeLucia asked if NFD’s run cards were, for the most part, set to input into the new system. Chief Montoya responded NFD was examining their internal systems in relation to run card revisions to refine them to their best ability. 2. Taftville: None. 3. Yantic: None. Chief Bill Eyberse was unable to attend but submitted an electronic report in addition to Yantic’s monthly statistics. SEE ADDENDUM II. 4.

The motion passed unanimously. Respectfully Submitted, Katherine Rose City Manager’s Report to Public Safety April 13, 2022 meeting I met with the Fire Chiefs on March 15th with a couple of guests from the Motorola CAD team. The conversation was all CAD related and did not cover any of the usual topics with the Chiefs. The Motorola CAD development team was in Norwich for three days of meetings to kick off the CAD project. They met at the Police Department with various stakeholders from: Police, Fire, MIS, NPU, as well as representatives from the State. With the Motorola team in town during the week of our scheduled meeting, it was suggested that we take advantage of their presence and have the Fire rep and Project Manager meet with the Chiefs. The meeting gave a brief overview of the system and provided the opportunity for the Chiefs to ask questions of the CAD team. The Motorola team discussed apparatus designations for resource allocation, unit status in the CAD, order of dispatch of available units, and notification capabilities of the CAD. As this was their kickoff visit, there were not a lot of specifics to share. They will be working with the Chiefs to obtain a listing of resources and run card procedures to be incorporated into the CAD. It was a good meeting with Motorola, but did not allow the Chiefs and I to catch up on the other issues we’ve been working on. The Chiefs will plan to meet amongst themselves. With the upcoming budget schedule, I will not be meeting with the Chiefs in April. I will be available to them if they have specific needs to address and will look to schedule our next meeting in May. Statistics for Month Calls for Service 3605 Incident Reports generated 347 Arrests made 155 Accidents investigated 120 Significant incidents for the month 3/5/2022 – A shooting victim walked up to a police officer’s vehicle on Washington Street. Victim was uncooperative and gave two false names before he was properly identified by family members at the hospital. The victim, is on Federal Probation for gun and drug charges. He suffered one gunshot wound to the leg. Information from area police agencies lead to the fact that the incident likely occurred outside of Norwich. 3/23/2022 – Information was received that a juvenile had access to a handgun and was posting pictures on social media. The 16 year old was identified and his home was searched with consent from the parent. A loaded 9mm P-80 “Ghost Gun” with an extended magazine was located in the juvenile’s room. He was issued a JV summons for a next-day arraignment and sent to Waterford JV Court. 3/26/2022 – A shooting investigation was conducted at Pistol Pete’s bar on Stonington Rd. The call came in as a domestic and callers reported a black male was holding a handgun. Upon arrival, officers located the alleged victim whose explanation of the events did not coincide with the evidence. During the month, the Narcotic Unit made two arrests related to narcotic investigations. A suspect was arrested on drug charges in addition to a warrant related to drugs. Two search warrants were executed within the city. One search warrant at 287 Main Street yielded a large amount of crack-cocaine and over $8,000 in cash. The other search warrant at 73 School Street yielded nothing noteworthy. The target of the investigation left the residence just prior to our arrival but our presence in the School Street area has its benefits since the recent uptick in crime. Also in March, two juveniles were arrested on the strength of warrants for their involvement in a robbery which took place in Mohegan Park. The robbery was a drug deal of THC vape pens. The arrest warrants sent the juveniles to Hartford Detention.

During the month of March Yantic responded to 50 incidents. 60% were rescue medical, which included 9 motor vehicle accidents. False alarms in several categories totalled 8% of all responses. There were 3 fires. On April 7, 2022 the YFECo held its 175th annual meeting, all officers from 2021 remain in position. The YFECo has generated an SOP related to the Avian Flu and responses to commercial chicken coops, this is available to all upon request. The proximity of Yantic to Bozrah, Franklin, Lebanon and Colchester, as well as previous responses to all commercial coops was the incentive to generate such a document. The YFECo has been in contact with DEMHS Region 4 and all the previously mentioned fire departments, related to this topic. Pre-planning of the Hale Manufacturing construction project has begun and YFECo training has been set for the remainder of the Spring and Summer months on water delivery and fire attack at the mill. All Norwich departments will be involved in training regarding the mill. Thank you all. William K.
