Approval of Minutes Minutes of the March 9, 2026 meeting were approved by unanimous vote. 2. New PAC Applicants BriAnn Davis applied for the vacant alternate position on Military Hill. She has been in Pullman since 2014. Davis has worked in retail and restaurant industries, spent four years with Palouse River Counseling, and is the incoming director of the Whitman Community Recovery Center in downtown Pullman. Mike Petlovany has applied for the Pullman School District Parent alternate vacancy. Petlovany has lived in Pullman since 2003, and is a current WSU Police Officer. He has two children in middle school, with one heading to high school next year. He is interested in helping Pullman PD to make decisions that will benefit all youth and PSD students. Committee members discussed the applicants and agreed that they offer valuable perspectives. Christina Shellabarger made a motion to approve both applications. Keira Caessens seconded. The motion passed by unanimous vote. Davis and Petlovany were invited to join the committee in an official capacity. Esther Root was not in attendance. Her application will be considered at the May meeting. Christina Shellabarger is graduating. This will be her last meeting as a member of the Police Advisory Committee. 3. Immigration Considerations Policy A copy of Pullman PD’s newly adopted Immigration Considerations policy (410) was provided with the meeting agenda. It has also been posted on the PPD webpage. Page 3 of 5  Since the March PAC meeting, some additions and corrections were made to PPD’s immigration policy. Pullman PD’s application for grant funding under HB 2015 required specific components be included. Chief Breshears encouraged PAC members to look at the department’s website, and to provide feedback on usability and ease of locating information. 4. Automatic License Plate Readers (ALPR) Recent legislative changes have increased ALPR regulations, which Pullman PD is unable to comply with. All ALPRs have been deactivated. Normal fleet cameras are still active but do not run 24/7 like the ALPR system. There are certain areas where ALPR data is now prohibited from collection. These include areas near schools, hospitals and places of worship. Much of Pullman falls into these prohibited categories. Information retention and other administrative requirements are another factor. Immigration enforcement considerations contributed to these legislative changes. ALPR data was useful in cases including the University of Idaho murders, and the recent international kidnapping of a local child. Pullman PD’s ALPR data has not been part of any sharing network outside of the agency. State Representatives will be meeting with the Pullman Chamber in the days ahead. Chief Breshears has included ALPR in the list of topics to be discussed during their visit. Axon has been asked to enable map boundaries to automatically disable ALPR technology. Chief Breshears is hopeful that the will come up with a solution. 5. Police Department Update The department continues to do good work within financial constraints. Tomorrow, City Council will consider a .01% sales tax through House Bill 2015 for criminal justice purposes. Whitman County just passed the same tax. If it passes, the tax will help to relieve risk of personnel layoffs within the Pullman Police Department. The department has put significant hours into the related HB 2015 grant application and related training. Public input is accepted at the City Council meeting. Chief Breshears has met with all City Council members and explained HB 2015, to answer any immediate questions. The meeting will be available online for those unable to attend. K J suggested targeting real estate agents and company recruiters to emphasize the low crime rate in Pullman in order to encourage community growth. Keira Caessens suggested noting the types of services that Pullman PD is able to provide now that would not be possible without the tax. Pullman PD will likely look at co-response teams more closely in the coming months. A new Whitman County Court lease for space in the Old City Hall building is on tomorrow’s Council agenda. In exchange for the use of City of Pullman facilities, the court processes City Code violations at no cost. CONSTITUENCIES POLL There has been a lot less speeding on Military Hill, as officer presence has increased, especially in school zones. Vehicles have to pull out at Center and Main, to see whether there are vehicles coming. A community member passed along their appreciation for the Police Department. There is a crossing guard on Hall Drive who is typically gone before many children arrive at the crosswalk. Keira Caessens shared concern for their safety, as speeding is a common problem through this area. Page 4 of 5 PUBLIC COMMENT There was no public comment. NEXT MEETING May 11, 2026 Page 5 of 5
