Council Member Brewer inquires about reporting challenges and coordination with the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM). Sheriff Miranda explains the ongoing communication efforts with OCM despite challenges.

  • The Sheriff's Office communicates with OCM for ongoing enforcement efforts
  • OCM has experienced its own operational challenges
  • The Sheriff's Office consistently requests information from OCM, which shares what is available

Okay.
0:39:45
Now we're going this this is also back to the issue of reporting.
0:39:50
Now I know that we're waiting for reports from the sheriff's office.
0:39:53
And then the sheriff's office perhaps correctly said that we haven't been told by the office of Canada management, which is to state exactly how the mechanism should work.
0:40:05
So we can't do the reporting until OCM tells us.
0:40:08
So what are you doing?
0:40:09
We've written to OCM.
0:40:11
I have written to OCM.
0:40:12
I have not heard back as to what that process is, but Do you have to do you feel that you need to wait?
0:40:19
Have you been in touch with OCM?
0:40:21
What is going on in terms of the mechanism for getting the public, the information that I think they deserve?
Anthony Miranda
0:40:29
Again, we do communicate with OCM as doing ongoing enforcement efforts.
0:40:33
I know that they've had experienced their own challenges in in terms of their operations.
0:40:39
But to the extent that we need to exchange it from should we do I I don't I'm again, I can't speak to any other challenges that OCM is having reporting back.
0:40:47
So when we can and when we do, we do communicate with them about enforcement activity.
Gale A. Brewer
0:40:51
Okay.
0:40:51
But you now understand that as a result of this, the public is not getting except for this hearing, information that I think they deserve.
0:40:59
So are you pressuring OCM as I am to try to come up with a mechanism?
Anthony Miranda
0:41:03
We we are absolutely communicating OCM and constantly asking for information that they may be challenged with supplying, but as much as it's available to them that they're able to give to us, they do share with us.
Gale A. Brewer
0:41:13
Okay.
