Commissioner Holmes confirms there have been no line-of-duty deaths among probation officers, with some non-life-threatening injuries reported, and discusses the firearms carrying policy.

  • No line-of-duty deaths have been reported among probation officers, indicating a relatively safe work environment.
  • Some non-life-threatening injuries have occurred during probation officers' duties.
  • The mandate for probation officers to carry firearms has been reinforced by Commissioner Holmes upon her appointment.
  • Council Member Nurse requests a detailed injury report from the last 3 to 5 years to analyze the situation further.
  • The discussion raises questions on the enforcement of the firearms carrying policy among probation officers.

Can you share any number of injuries or fatalities that have happened during these kinds of inspections over the last few years.
0:47:57
I mean, you said this was mandated 20 years ago.
0:47:59
It really hasn't been enforced.
0:48:02
So it would be great to hear some data to back up the the need to re kind of reinforce that mandate.
Juanita Holmes
0:48:08
Right.
0:48:09
So I I thought the same thing.
0:48:11
The first thing I said was how many probation officers have been injured.
0:48:15
But the second thing I said, that's a good thing because I don't think there's ever been a line of duty death with a probation officer, and me reinforcing the carrying of firearms coming into office I believe that Horn had it in place for 20 somewhat years.
0:48:31
In addition to that, it might have been loosely, maybe not enforced with the previous commissioner.
0:48:38
But, no, I don't probation officers, we do have some injuries, not life threatening
UNKNOWN
0:48:44
Okay.
Juanita Holmes
0:48:44
I should say.
Sandy Nurse
0:48:44
It would be great to get in the follow-up specific, you know, what's an like an injury report, what is been sustained injuries during these inspections over the last, let's say, 3 to 5 years.
0:48:56
Yeah.
0:48:57
5 years to get an understanding.
