Council Member Stevens inquires about the rollout of the Quality of Life Division in her district precincts and the allocation of additional officers for this initiative.

  • Stevens asks about the timeline for rolling out the Quality of Life Division in precincts 44, 46, and 42
  • Commissioner Tisch explains that the citywide rollout is planned for the summer
  • Stevens emphasizes the need for additional officers rather than reassignment in her precincts
  • There is a brief exchange about the allocation of police resources based on crime rates

My my my last question is also just even around the quality of life division.
2:16:11
Excited to hear about this because this has been one of the issues that I feel like often is overlooked in my district because I have the 44, the 42, and 46.
2:16:21
We are often fighting crime and have more serious things, and so quality of life is always the last thing.
2:16:27
So I would need to know when those will be rolled out and the four four, four six, four two because it is essential for us.
2:16:33
And will they be getting additional cops for those divisions as well?
Jessica Tisch
2:16:37
So we are going to we are working on the rollout schedule now, and I expect to have it for everyone this summer to be able to tell everyone which command is going to be rolled out when, but we are going for a citywide rollout of it based on the success that we've seen in the first month or two, two months of the pilot that we have been doing.
2:17:04
And in some commands it will be additional officers, but in many of them, it will be a reassignment or a refocusing of existing officers in the commands.
Althea V. Stevens
2:17:21
I would like to go on record that none of my precincts should have reassignments.
2:17:24
We need additional officers, so I need that to be on record.
2:17:27
So the 44 4246, we need additional officers to pull out this division because we have so much going
Jessica Tisch
2:17:33
just wanna be very clear.
2:17:34
I understood, but I wanna be very clear that this summer, you have gotten in those commands specifically a lot of cops.
Johnny Gillum
2:17:44
No.
2:17:44
I hear you.
Althea V. Stevens
2:17:45
I know.
2:17:45
I know.
2:17:45
You told
Jessica Tisch
2:17:46
me.
2:17:46
Everyone here can say that.
Althea V. Stevens
2:17:48
But everyone also cannot say the amount of shootings that they have either.
Jessica Tisch
2:17:51
So %.
2:17:52
And that is exactly what I respond to them when they complain that we're we have to put the cops where they are needed.
