Approval of Minutes Minutes of the February 9, 2026 meeting were approved by unanimous vote. 2. Membership Update Keith Blatner has resigned from his position as the At-Large alternate. Several new applications have been received. Applicants will be attending an upcoming meeting. Ride-Along applications were dispersed for those who may be interested in getting to know officers better. Chief Breshears spoke with Dr. Maxwell about filling the Pullman School District positions. 3. Discussion: Role of Officers at Public Events Commander Harris asked for feedback regarding the role of officers at public events. David Makin said that officer overtime is the big question related to cost-benefit. Barbara Hammond agreed with his concern. She added that members of the Pullman community are used to seeing their local officers at events. When manageable, she said that “more is better”. Isa Thomas said that from a youth perspective, seeing patrol vehicles and getting to interact with police officers is a great experience. Nicole Drumhiller added that she has heard from international families that they would never get to have the same type of experience with law enforcement in their home countries. Craig Watt guessed that officers are probably interacting with the same people from one event to the next. He noted that while this may not be increasing reach, it still helps with public awareness. Page 3 of 20  Commander Harris shared that his tentative vision is to have officers less tied to a single location at community events. He envisions officers working in pairs, doing more “policing”, rather than being tied to an attraction like a patrol car display. Harris hopes to increase proactive crime prevention, while still taking opportunities to build relationships and interact with members of the community. Nicole Drumhiller said that it is unnecessary to have all of the attractions at every event. She suggested advertising which events will feature a patrol car, etc., so that people do not expect the same things to be offered each time. She recommended “chunking” time. Samantha Gizerian added that utilizing PAC members to assist can help to relieve officers to do other work. Foot patrol is the primary method of surveillance at events. David Makin pointed out that there is an expectation among community members, who have grown accustomed to the way things are. Christina Shellabarger noted that including other agencies, such as WSU PD, could help with the burden on officers. 4. Lexipol Policies Feedback Chief Breshears thanked the PAC members who reviewed and provided feedback on several draft policies. There was a question regarding conflict within the immigration policy. He clarified that there are some issues related to the conflict between state and federal law. The draft policy is based on the Attorney General’s model policy. There were concerns noted related to the use of Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR). Officers can enter license plate information for stolen vehicles or vehicles involved in crimes, and be notified if they cross paths with the vehicle. Data is managed by Axon. Chief Breshears has to do more research to find out how ALPR data could be included in the release of public records. Christina Shellabarger shared that the handcuffing and restraints policy was well written and clear. David Makin noted the importance of documentation in alignment with policy. These are standard accountability practices that allow for transparency. Craig Watt noted that retention and access are both important considerations when it comes to storing data. Barbara Hammond asked for clarification about instances in which an officer would ask for immigration information in relation to a state or local crime. Chief Breshears said that concern over flight risk or relation to motive for a crime might be instances in which this could come up. Commander Harris that there was a recent case in which detectives had to work with the victim to sort out jurisdiction for a long string of crime that occurred locally and abroad. Nicole Drumhiller said that the immigration policy was well done and “as hands-off as possible, within the law”. The immigration policy will be posted on the website when it is finalized. Christina Shellabarger would like to see an emphasis on U & T Visas when the information is shared publicly. Page 4 of 20  Pullman PD does not track when officers run code to respond to calls. Car cameras are automatically activated when lights are activated. David Makin said that having a policy and not reviewing the available data it is problematic and creates unnecessary liability. Nicole Drumhiller inquired about whether there are any efforts made to ensure consistency between PPD and WSU PD policies. Chief Breshears said that while this has not happened, it is worth exploring. 5. Police Department Update Amezcua was sentenced to 16 years for murder. Detectives did great work on the case. Pullman PD is continuing to try to save money wherever possible. Overtime has been cut for community outreach efforts. The next phase of budget impacts will be coming in the next few weeks. CONSTITUENCIES POLL Isa Thomas shared concern about poor visibility at the corner of Spring & Derby. Amy Caessens said that the area is also problematic for drivers. Extra signage would be helpful. Code Enforcement handles calls about overgrown shrubs. There is a house at Harrison and State that puts the trash can where drivers can’t see around it. PUBLIC COMMENT There was no public comment.
