The regular meeting occured on July 9, 2009, at the Nutrition Center in Bahama Village. For a Summer meeting, a large turn out of over 25 people were present.
This group consisted of local residents, 2 church Pastors, about 6 Police Academy Students (YEAH!) Com for Dist 6 Clayton Lopez, Last Stand Board member and BCCLT Board Member among the scheduled officers, etc.
(I know Pablo is higher ranking in the KWPD but here I mean no disrespect) KWPD Pablo reported on the months arrests of 41 of which 15 where from Miami. Officer Pablo asked all residents for help in that if something is going down, call the police non-emerg # and give location, descriptions, etc. Officer Pablo also responded to questions about selective stopping with out apparent cause. He stated Officers have wide discretion if a person is respectful. He stated they never stop anyone unless there is a reason. Some residents disagreed and said it appeared more racial than anything. Officer Pablo disagreed and it was left at that. Be mindful and respectful, a positive attitude goes a long way. Hey, isn't that my campaign slogan? Be A Part Of Positive Change? This goes for all residents not just the ones on bikes! This includes our KWPD!
