Colt Cassidy's PD Meeting - 05/26/25

• Colt started off by saying while he was planning to retire, he no longer had that choice due to the actions of the PD
• He was tired of the pettiness between officers and superhero-behaviors
• He made it clear the the "Us Vs Them" mentality was over
• The PD is to protect and serve the people as their oath states
• Colt pointed out that while there have been many great hires, there are bad officers who are ruining it for them
• Colt made it clear that any cops who are against the vision of the PD will be fired
• The good officers would get better recognition from the NCOs and Command
• The 'boys club' and cliquey behavior needed to come to an end
• The backstabbing of other officers was no longer tolerated and would be fireable
• Colt made it clear that win-chasing was not tolerated, but neither was rolling over for criminals
• Colt understood that there were officers that believed they were supposed to just 'roll over' for criminals or did it to avoid conflict
• Colt wanted the focus for PD to be to interact with others and be good sportsmen
• This included things like not pitting over speed limits and shooting tires for no reason
• Colt stressed that being an officer meant preserving and protecting life
• Cops should not be acting like gang members, they should act like the shield they wear

Changes coming to PD

• The State Troopers would be fully implemented into the PD
• They would be comprised of the officers who know what they are doing and know how to lead as officers
• The Park Rangers would be comprised of officers looking for a lighter daily experience and would be less involved in investigations and bureaucracy
• PD will be able to print paper warrants for raids and will be able to send an officer to physically lock-down locations prior to raids
• PD will be able to freeze bank accounts and track phones for highly-wanted warrant holders as well
• Colt made it clear that Mr K was the one who came up with the idea after the PD did practically nothing when he escaped from Prison
• CCTV cameras would be implemented in highly-trafficked areas and would record footage when certain events take place
• This includes places like MRPD, LSMC, and banks
• Listening devices and wires would be able to be placed with warrants for investigations
• NCO's and above will be able to use a bonus system to reward officers
• Officers who make mistakes will receive Shots
• Officers will be fined and sanctioned if they violate SOPs
• Physical awards for PD will be implemented (as designed by Lane)
• The SOP's were being reformatted and Colt was writing The Bible, a one-page cheat-sheet for quick reference that would be religiously updated
• New procedures for business shut-downs and removals, transports, warrants, exigent circumstance raids, locking down properties, ATC guidelines and CID guidelines were all in the works
• CID officers were not permitted to exclude regular officers from investigations, but instead should enable and oversee them
• Academies and FTO training was being refined
• Academy needed to do a better job of rooting out the officers who do not fit PD, which would help decrease FTO burnout
• New PD vehicles were coming and classes were being removed
• Colt mentioned around 10-15 vehicles getting added by mid July

• Colt discussed the new Pilot's License certifications, including required ones for PD Air-1 and Angel-1
• Licenses include basic, multi-passenger, search and rescue, and emergency
• Civilian instructors would be in charge of distributing certifications
• Colt was looking for strong leaders within PD
• Colt told officers to give feedback to current Command on how to find new leaders
• Additionally, if any officers knew of anyone who would be a good transfer they should contact command

Closing Statements

• Colt emphasized that even in fights and chases, PD needed to emphasize interactions in situations
• Using a tazer too often or too early was not permitted, neither was threatening to shoot excessively
• Colt reminded them that PD should not be over-escalating
• Colt ended the meeting by stating that officers were being gunned-down today due to all the issues criminals had noticed from PD and that the meeting was very overdue
• Colt did not want ping-chasing officers, he wanted officers who want to do their jobs the right way
