<v Speaker 1>Scott Owen is with us here today and Sheriff, I

5
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:15.400
<v Speaker 1>understand that night of prayer was a doozy last night.

6
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:18.320
<v Speaker 2>It was I tended to do with my wife and

7
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:26.079
<v Speaker 2>very very pleased with the out comfort and it was just.

8
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:27.719
<v Speaker 3>A good message and much needed.

9
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:30.039
<v Speaker 1>Let's yeah, boy, I tell you we were living in

10
00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:30.960
<v Speaker 1>some trying times.

11
00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:33.320
<v Speaker 2>I was very impressed that they put a lot of

12
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:35.439
<v Speaker 2>effort in it and had a lot of really good speakers.

13
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:38.479
<v Speaker 1>Very good. You've been busy with a lot of things.

14
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:40.200
<v Speaker 1>I know the rain kind of kept you hopping there

15
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:41.880
<v Speaker 1>for a little bit earlier this week.

16
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:44.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it seems like the monsoon season is upon us

17
00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:48.359
<v Speaker 2>and we've we've had I've been out on patrol with

18
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:52.320
<v Speaker 2>the guys as an extra unit some when trying to

19
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:54.320
<v Speaker 2>help them chase their calls and get where they need

20
00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:59.920
<v Speaker 2>to coordinate with the County Commissioner's road crews about barrick

21
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.600
<v Speaker 2>age and high water. We were fortunate that we had

22
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:05.159
<v Speaker 2>two calls that I know of of cars in the

23
00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:09.159
<v Speaker 2>water well way three counting one by Vera. Fortunately no

24
00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:13.159
<v Speaker 2>one injured. Good, no fatalities, Thank god. Don't get out

25
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:16.439
<v Speaker 2>of the car, turn around, don't drown.

26
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:20.920
<v Speaker 1>That's right. You know. I lost a friend who always preached,

27
00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:22.879
<v Speaker 1>never get out of that vehicle. If you find yourself

28
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:25.599
<v Speaker 1>in a situation that comes upon you before you see it.

29
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:28.359
<v Speaker 1>What did he do? Got out of that vehicle? Took

30
00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:32.560
<v Speaker 1>him and it just happens. So you've got to be careful.

31
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:35.159
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people don't realize it, but floods take

32
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:37.280
<v Speaker 1>more lives than just about any other weather things.

33
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:45.000
<v Speaker 2>They really do, Yeah, they really do. Traffic accidents are bad,

34
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:48.560
<v Speaker 2>but drowning, they say, is one of the highest causes

35
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:53.560
<v Speaker 2>of death and people involved in incidents across the nation.

36
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:55.519
<v Speaker 1>Wow, it's just crazy.

37
00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:56.680
<v Speaker 3>It's only before you know it.

38
00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we've got a lot of things going on. Busy summer,

39
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:02.519
<v Speaker 1>don't you. And it starts like hearing about a week.

40
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:06.200
<v Speaker 2>It seems like we're getting there. We've got well just

41
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:10.120
<v Speaker 2>coming up here in about a week. We didn't talk

42
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:13.360
<v Speaker 2>about this, but Trick County Technology Centers having their career

43
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:16.240
<v Speaker 2>Pharaoh made the ninth We're going to have a Washington

44
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:19.840
<v Speaker 2>County Sheriff's Department booth set up for the students that

45
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:22.439
<v Speaker 2>may have an interest in public safety, law enforcement, or

46
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:27.400
<v Speaker 2>contention career, and we'll have that staff with some handouts,

47
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:33.840
<v Speaker 2>some applications, people to ask them questions. A large number

48
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:38.280
<v Speaker 2>of my staff, especially on the attention side, our younger

49
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:41.360
<v Speaker 2>people fresh out of high school or college, because I'm

50
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:45.680
<v Speaker 2>allowed to utilize eighteen year olds in that facility in

51
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:50.319
<v Speaker 2>that job description, and I really have a good group

52
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:52.919
<v Speaker 2>of young people working for me this time.

53
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that's great. You know, we think of law enforcement.

54
00:02:56.759 --> 00:02:59.919
<v Speaker 1>We think of the tenured, the journeyman, and the veteran,

55
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:03.680
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, things like that. It's nice to know you've

56
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:06.400
<v Speaker 1>got young people coming up to fill some boots in.

57
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:10.800
<v Speaker 2>The years and we're becoming I think we're starting to

58
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:14.360
<v Speaker 2>become successful and get ahead of that eight ball that

59
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:16.560
<v Speaker 2>we went through here a few years ago with the

60
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:20.120
<v Speaker 2>defund the police campaigns and nobody wanted to be in

61
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:25.080
<v Speaker 2>law enforcement. And uh, we've been able to actually move

62
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:30.360
<v Speaker 2>several of our young detention staff into police officer certification

63
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:33.439
<v Speaker 2>and into field training and preparing them for shift assignment

64
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:37.319
<v Speaker 2>on road patrol or transport division. So we like to

65
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:39.400
<v Speaker 2>draw from within. It's kind of like going to work

66
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:42.120
<v Speaker 2>and the mail room and working your way out of

67
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:46.319
<v Speaker 2>the mail room. Yeah, and it can be done. It

68
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:49.599
<v Speaker 2>can be done, and we're proving that. We're very fortunate

69
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:52.639
<v Speaker 2>it allowed me to move on my trolling out to

70
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:56.759
<v Speaker 2>an investigator's position. And we're very proud of will Gerhart.

71
00:03:56.840 --> 00:04:01.400
<v Speaker 2>He graduated the OSBI Criminal Investigation Academy yesterday.

72
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:03.400
<v Speaker 1>Nice, he's got.

73
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.439
<v Speaker 2>Another accolade under his belt. We're proud of him there.

74
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:13.240
<v Speaker 2>And we have two current jail supervisors that are in

75
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:16.240
<v Speaker 2>the Bartlesville B Park Academy, which is a basic a

76
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:19.879
<v Speaker 2>police academy that is hosted and operated by the Bartisville

77
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Police Department in conjunction with Tri County Tech's Public Safety

78
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:25.879
<v Speaker 2>Training program right here in town.

79
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:28.480
<v Speaker 1>So you have to ship people halfway across the state

80
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:30.399
<v Speaker 1>to get them ready to go anymore.

81
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:34.680
<v Speaker 3>So we utilize both services. But we've got that going.

82
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:39.560
<v Speaker 2>Like I said the career Fair, my reserve program is

83
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:42.000
<v Speaker 2>started to grow a little bit. I've got about a

84
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:48.519
<v Speaker 2>dozen reserve deputies nice and they are their first big

85
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:52.560
<v Speaker 2>spring assignment is going to be the Delaware Pow Wow.

86
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:57.439
<v Speaker 2>We work that every year for all three days Emergency

87
00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:00.959
<v Speaker 2>Management will set up their command trailer and we'll have

88
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:08.040
<v Speaker 2>everything in that commendator that we haven't dispatched, basically, And.

89
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:09.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, that's a great celebration up there. It really is.

90
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:12.120
<v Speaker 2>And if you haven't attended a lot of people, you

91
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:14.480
<v Speaker 2>haven't attended one, I'd urge you to go because it's

92
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:20.519
<v Speaker 2>it's a real tribute to to people's heritage in this area.

93
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:24.120
<v Speaker 2>It is, and it's it's our pleasure to work with

94
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:26.279
<v Speaker 2>him and honor and be a part of that program.

95
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:27.639
<v Speaker 3>So we'll be doing that.

96
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:32.120
<v Speaker 2>SunFest is coming up first week last weekend, my first weekend,

97
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:35.160
<v Speaker 2>and so to speak, we'll be out there with a booth.

98
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:39.360
<v Speaker 1>You all anxirey teams. We tried to you're usually pretty

99
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:39.959
<v Speaker 1>close to us.

100
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:43.759
<v Speaker 2>Yep, we'll be there. I'll be there all weekend pretty much,

101
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:44.279
<v Speaker 2>off and on.

102
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:46.240
<v Speaker 3>So here now.

103
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:51.519
<v Speaker 2>Looking forward to that, actually me too, so but we're

104
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:53.920
<v Speaker 2>doing that. We've got had a lot going on in

105
00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:55.639
<v Speaker 2>the jail. Of course, our jail is now I believe

106
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:58.079
<v Speaker 2>they're not fifteen years old. It seems it doesn't look

107
00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:02.199
<v Speaker 2>that seems like yesterday. Well that's because got a really

108
00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:05.959
<v Speaker 2>good jail staff and I've got a really good maintenance

109
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:07.720
<v Speaker 2>staff that are proactive in nature.

110
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:10.800
<v Speaker 3>They watch for things going wrong.

111
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:15.240
<v Speaker 2>We have we've had to do a lot, but fortunately

112
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:18.199
<v Speaker 2>we've been blessed with the funding to take care of everything.

113
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:23.120
<v Speaker 2>There you go and pretty much every pod downer has

114
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:28.720
<v Speaker 2>been gone through, things like electrical and lighting, plumbing, things

115
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:33.240
<v Speaker 2>of that nature. A lot of new replacements and painting.

116
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:36.680
<v Speaker 2>So it basically is a fifteen year old jail that

117
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:38.680
<v Speaker 2>looks about like a one year old jail.

118
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:43.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, the cosmetics and the mechanical is fine, but

119
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:45.720
<v Speaker 1>you know what you're doing with the jail that a

120
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:48.279
<v Speaker 1>lot of people are talking about. You're making sure that

121
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:52.480
<v Speaker 1>they say, yeah, I was there, nothing against the folks,

122
00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:55.199
<v Speaker 1>but I don't want to go back. You've got some

123
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:58.360
<v Speaker 1>great programs that are changing the recipitism.

124
00:06:58.519 --> 00:06:59.279
<v Speaker 3>Yes we do.

125
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:04.279
<v Speaker 2>My jail administrator, James Pendergrave, he my lieutenant in the jail,

126
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:08.480
<v Speaker 2>is we have him, and I have added a second

127
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:13.360
<v Speaker 2>assistant jail administrator, so Terry Woods. He's former sheriff's deputy,

128
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:16.319
<v Speaker 2>former Barsvill police. He came back to me is now

129
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:20.399
<v Speaker 2>one of my assistant jail administrators. Is is Mitch Doyle,

130
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:23.879
<v Speaker 2>who has operated the inmate work Crew for years and

131
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:26.600
<v Speaker 2>worked in the jail and commissary in the kitchen down there.

132
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:30.720
<v Speaker 2>Those three men are instrumental and making a lot of

133
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:34.680
<v Speaker 2>changes in major support for me in that area. And

134
00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:38.360
<v Speaker 2>I can't say thank you to those men enough. But

135
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:44.879
<v Speaker 2>we have educational programs, ged programs, re entry programs, jail

136
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:49.639
<v Speaker 2>ministry programs, all those things, and it's primarily because these

137
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:54.040
<v Speaker 2>men pushed that envelope and make it happen.

138
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:56.279
<v Speaker 1>One of the things you've got is like a parenting

139
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:56.879
<v Speaker 1>class too.

140
00:07:57.000 --> 00:07:58.800
<v Speaker 3>We have a parenting class.

141
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:02.199
<v Speaker 1>To guide them so that they're their kids don't follow

142
00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:03.360
<v Speaker 1>a generational change.

143
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:05.800
<v Speaker 2>Well that and it also if mom or dad has

144
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:10.560
<v Speaker 2>been in custody for a while, they will they have

145
00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:13.319
<v Speaker 2>to re enter society, have to re enter the family unit.

146
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:16.399
<v Speaker 2>And some of them may be in there for drugs

147
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:19.160
<v Speaker 2>and may be in for family offenses or things of

148
00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:22.000
<v Speaker 2>that nature. Some may be in for simple child support

149
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:25.040
<v Speaker 2>for a long term and behalf some of those. But

150
00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:29.680
<v Speaker 2>the goal is to preserve the family unit and make

151
00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:31.720
<v Speaker 2>it easier for them to get in. We've had some

152
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:36.879
<v Speaker 2>multiple success stories where we run into our former customers

153
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:43.000
<v Speaker 2>that in society when they're out, and I have found

154
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.440
<v Speaker 2>them in various jobs that they've landed and being quighly successful.

155
00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:49.519
<v Speaker 2>One comes to mind. He stayed with us for a

156
00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:52.639
<v Speaker 2>while and then went to doc came back. First thing

157
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:54.440
<v Speaker 2>he did was to look us up, tell us thank you.

158
00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:59.519
<v Speaker 2>And then he got a job in a car a house,

159
00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:03.679
<v Speaker 2>enrolled in college, gotting derries and that is guy, a

160
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:05.919
<v Speaker 2>real job in the field he wants.

161
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:06.159
<v Speaker 3>To work in.

162
00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:09.399
<v Speaker 1>Wow, it's great. I know another one of your guys

163
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:14.399
<v Speaker 1>that I went through the system came out a change man,

164
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:18.440
<v Speaker 1>now owns a business and hires people here in town.

165
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:20.960
<v Speaker 1>You got a legitimate that's.

166
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:26.360
<v Speaker 2>Just because the business, just because a person makes a mistake.

167
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:28.320
<v Speaker 1>This is not the end.

168
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:30.799
<v Speaker 3>It could be the beginning of God opening another door

169
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:31.200
<v Speaker 3>for him.

170
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:33.519
<v Speaker 1>That's exactly what happened to him as a star back.

171
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:39.960
<v Speaker 2>So that makes me feel good about that. We've got

172
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:43.840
<v Speaker 2>car show in October. Doesn't seem like it's right on us,

173
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:45.159
<v Speaker 2>but it will be right on us.

174
00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:47.279
<v Speaker 1>That summer goes by so fast.

175
00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we're we're prepared, starting to prepare for that, starting

176
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:53.080
<v Speaker 2>some couple of fundraising projects.

177
00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:55.399
<v Speaker 1>And I took you a look at the forecast for October.

178
00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:56.519
<v Speaker 1>It's not going to rain this time.

179
00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:57.679
<v Speaker 3>Thank goodness.

180
00:09:57.919 --> 00:09:59.240
<v Speaker 1>So we will.

181
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:03.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, a couple of fundraisers, if I might mention June

182
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:07.360
<v Speaker 2>the I believe it's June to seventh. The Masonic Lodge

183
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:11.679
<v Speaker 2>Fraternity will be hosting Art Sheriff Reserve Benefit Breakfast for

184
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:18.840
<v Speaker 2>the purpose of Christmas funding and Thanksgiving funding. Same way

185
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:23.159
<v Speaker 2>with the Eagles. They're gonna have us a bingo for that.

186
00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:25.159
<v Speaker 2>The car show kind of works its own.

187
00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Deal, but these others are great reminders that you can

188
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:31.360
<v Speaker 1>have fun while raising funds.

189
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:34.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah we can. We were last year.

190
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:39.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't quote me, but I believe we had one

191
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:42.759
<v Speaker 2>hundred and either one hundred and twenty three or one

192
00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:46.000
<v Speaker 2>hundred and forty three cars enter our car show.

193
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:49.840
<v Speaker 3>Oh wow, and they were some very nice ones.

194
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Every time I've been to there, it's been just a knockout.

195
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.120
<v Speaker 1>You're amazed at just how well preserved some of them are,

196
00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:58.960
<v Speaker 1>and then how well enhanced the rest of them are.

197
00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:03.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, or both, and then you get the guys

198
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:06.000
<v Speaker 2>that just love to enhance those rat rods and bring them.

199
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:09.600
<v Speaker 3>It gets going on this weekend to do it.

200
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:14.279
<v Speaker 1>So, yeah, we'll get a little preview up there so

201
00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:17.000
<v Speaker 1>with the Sheriff's office, So you guys are full tilt

202
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:20.519
<v Speaker 1>heading into summer. Uh. Also summer, you know, it gets

203
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:23.000
<v Speaker 1>busy for all law enforcement. It's because people are out.

204
00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:26.679
<v Speaker 1>Folks are driving, maybe going a little bit further distances

205
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:29.639
<v Speaker 1>than what they did during the colder months. Yeah, they

206
00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:32.159
<v Speaker 1>gotta be careful out there more than just them on

207
00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:32.600
<v Speaker 1>the road.

208
00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:34.000
<v Speaker 3>Well, that's true.

209
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:37.720
<v Speaker 2>And you know with the there's several things, especially in

210
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:40.480
<v Speaker 2>rural areas, that I'd like to remind the people to

211
00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:45.240
<v Speaker 2>watch out for. Is the grass is gonna be growing, Okay,

212
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:48.279
<v Speaker 2>all the ranchers are gonna be processing. Hey, you're gonna

213
00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:53.720
<v Speaker 2>have slow moving egg vehicles on the road. Usually the

214
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:57.519
<v Speaker 2>alcohol consumption goes up, so our a restorations will go

215
00:11:57.639 --> 00:12:02.600
<v Speaker 2>up some probably, uh in that area. What we want

216
00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:04.480
<v Speaker 2>to do is reinforce the fact that if you're going

217
00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:09.840
<v Speaker 2>to be doing that, know your limit and always designated driver.

218
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's it's key. Yeah.

219
00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:17.279
<v Speaker 2>The last figures I saw, if one would be getting

220
00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:20.440
<v Speaker 2>arrested for a DUI, time you finish with while your

221
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:24.159
<v Speaker 2>fins your costs, your insurance increases, schools you have to

222
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:29.000
<v Speaker 2>go to in driver's license reinstatements, things and such. Probably

223
00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:31.000
<v Speaker 2>about ten thousand dollars on the low end.

224
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, not really worth one night out on the town.

225
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:37.679
<v Speaker 2>Unless you're risking your life and anybody else's out there.

226
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:43.120
<v Speaker 2>So it's been a good year. I've this year started

227
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:47.960
<v Speaker 2>my beginning, my second term elected second term, and I

228
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:52.919
<v Speaker 2>look forward to being here through twenty nine. And as

229
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:56.600
<v Speaker 2>we get there, I'll decide if I want to keep

230
00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:00.559
<v Speaker 2>them on working and dry for another term or hand

231
00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:01.600
<v Speaker 2>the torch to someone else.

232
00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:08.600
<v Speaker 1>One other thing, Scott, summertime we see some problems with

233
00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:11.480
<v Speaker 1>drugs too, and it seems like they're a little bit

234
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:16.600
<v Speaker 1>more noticed in the summertime. I know that drug abuse

235
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:21.480
<v Speaker 1>happens twenty five, but we see it, Yeah, a.

236
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:25.039
<v Speaker 3>Lot more we do. And you hit the nail on

237
00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:25.360
<v Speaker 3>the head.

238
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:29.200
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of our homeless community oftentimes falls into that,

239
00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:34.960
<v Speaker 2>and they're always out and in view, and if they

240
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:40.679
<v Speaker 2>do come across that or become involved partaking there, any

241
00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:46.080
<v Speaker 2>bizarre behavior will cause an encounter. Sometimes it's easy, other

242
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:46.679
<v Speaker 2>times it's not.

243
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:46.960
<v Speaker 1>So.

244
00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:48.440
<v Speaker 3>One thing that.

245
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:53.759
<v Speaker 2>You know it's being addressed along the line of the

246
00:13:53.799 --> 00:13:57.720
<v Speaker 2>homeless is Barslow's got a ongoing program and in conjunction

247
00:13:57.799 --> 00:14:03.960
<v Speaker 2>with Grand Mental Health and Commune resources that they're interacting

248
00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:08.679
<v Speaker 2>and have a homeless project going where they monitor them,

249
00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:10.639
<v Speaker 2>try to help them get them pointed the right way.

250
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:15.840
<v Speaker 2>They just assigned another young officer who required to go

251
00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:19.799
<v Speaker 2>out into the county occasionally, so we have had a

252
00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:23.519
<v Speaker 2>local agreement with them, and we actually cross commission deputized

253
00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:26.120
<v Speaker 2>him to work outside the city with us and for

254
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:32.559
<v Speaker 2>US regarding homeless issues. So we're having a cooperative effort

255
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:37.840
<v Speaker 2>with Bartlestviell Police Grand Mental Health. We have an agreement

256
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:41.799
<v Speaker 2>with Grant in our jail, so we actually have staffing

257
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:48.159
<v Speaker 2>for treatment and those inmates that used to require treatment

258
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:50.519
<v Speaker 2>didn't lose their treatment when they if they get sentenced

259
00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:51.759
<v Speaker 2>to a jail term or something.

260
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:55.759
<v Speaker 1>I know that Washington County Emergency Management was working on

261
00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:00.480
<v Speaker 1>enhancing even further our nine to one one keep abilities.

262
00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:02.679
<v Speaker 1>You've got any update on that one, because I know

263
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:04.759
<v Speaker 1>that'll kind of everybody.

264
00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:10.600
<v Speaker 2>That is always an ongoing thing. It's ever changing. The

265
00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:14.639
<v Speaker 2>funding always changes, the rules change, the technology changes, the

266
00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:17.840
<v Speaker 2>way we work all the time. Well, right about a

267
00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:21.879
<v Speaker 2>perfect example right here the technology change. This is one

268
00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:28.039
<v Speaker 2>of the refurbished, like brand new eight hundred Megahurtz radios

269
00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:30.840
<v Speaker 2>that we talked to the nine on one Center with

270
00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:37.440
<v Speaker 2>Bartlesville was the first department to get on complements of

271
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:41.600
<v Speaker 2>Phillips Petroleum in their Community Involvement Unit. Wow special thanks

272
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:48.200
<v Speaker 2>to Jinny Brown. They provided my department fifty handheld radios

273
00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:53.159
<v Speaker 2>and a half a dozen mobile radios, and there were

274
00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:56.360
<v Speaker 2>probably more coming. I will be purchasing some on top

275
00:15:56.399 --> 00:15:58.960
<v Speaker 2>of that. But that eight hundred system is the system

276
00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:03.399
<v Speaker 2>that is very clear. It puts us in command constant

277
00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:08.360
<v Speaker 2>communication with Bartlesville. We can also visitor on the radio,

278
00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:14.480
<v Speaker 2>coordinate efforts to mutilate, assist with no water that we

279
00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:20.200
<v Speaker 2>weren't able to do before highway patrol. And I can't

280
00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:23.679
<v Speaker 2>say thanks enough to Jinny Brown and Conico Phillips.

281
00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:27.759
<v Speaker 1>Wow. They I understand they're a very good community partner.

282
00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:29.799
<v Speaker 1>There weren't some parts of the county where we'd have

283
00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:32.519
<v Speaker 1>some drop out as far there are and but now

284
00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:34.600
<v Speaker 1>these things covered off well.

285
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:38.399
<v Speaker 2>Almost they if there are a couple of places that

286
00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:42.919
<v Speaker 2>have a deficiency, but if that one doesn't.

287
00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:45.000
<v Speaker 3>Work, and they're usually very low lying areas.

288
00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:46.440
<v Speaker 2>Where you don't have a line of sight of repeater

289
00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:51.639
<v Speaker 2>that we're working with Captain Hastings and Dave with the

290
00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:56.960
<v Speaker 2>Phillips to identify the problems and enhance the tower locations

291
00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:00.799
<v Speaker 2>if possible, probably working with some of the other counties

292
00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:03.639
<v Speaker 2>in Kansas to give us better coverage up north.

293
00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:05.519
<v Speaker 3>Things of that nature.

294
00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:12.200
<v Speaker 2>But we we appreciate our community supporters and couldn't do

295
00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:13.319
<v Speaker 2>without them, I'll tell.

296
00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:16.759
<v Speaker 1>You, Sheriffauldsow is a pleasure to have you in. Thanks

297
00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:17.799
<v Speaker 1>for covid by and visiting.

298
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:21.200
<v Speaker 3>It's been a nice visit. We could probably talk all day.

299
00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:25.200
<v Speaker 1>We could, I know we could. We've done it, folks.

300
00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:27.720
<v Speaker 1>You've been watching and listening to our community connections.

301
00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:28.279
<v Speaker 3>When it comes to
