 Reckon it's high time I had a word with y'all with a heavy heart come before y'all to speak out against the misguided ways of the LSPD when it comes to our sheriff's office, okay? If you really wanted to play into this we could start pushing some propaganda on this upcoming election Max is trying to defund the police Tom's a tough and you know But pressure on new mayor to be a big champion of the blue and support the pd in Increasing the budget and getting speedy repairs. I'll play the politics somehow, right? I mean, I really I really don't think that's y'all think that's what he's trying to do You think he's trying to try to I don't know what it is with you and the mayor and his wife You have some soft spot for him. No, what I'm saying it's it's something I don't know what it is. Yeah, because they actually don't see what they're doing Yeah, their only thing they're getting done is lowering our pd Our pd budget and holding it over our head and traffic stops so they can try and get out of stuff The guy is a tyrant. Oh my lord. Do you think because of a damn traffic stop? I think he's that petty. I mean he got that damn legislation passed. Oh, please. I know what you're doing. Okay You're playing politics, which I respect. All right. I mean, how last it will happen, right? Yeah I'm presenting that today. I'm like 30 minutes Okay, fuck it. Please cornway is here to talk about something near and dear to his heart Something that he has been working on presumably for months now Please okay, here it is chat. Cool Okay, why don't you read out this letter of urgency now a lot of this stuff was written in the past a lot of it still stands Uh, basically long story short. I mean shit. I'll just go over the whole damn thing. Yeah, just read it, bro Oh, howdy steam mayor and honorable members of the city council as a proud son of the great state of texas An affirmed believer in the law of the land in our chair city of los santos I reckon it's high time I had a word with y'all with a heavy heart come before y'all to speak out against the Miscatted ways of the lspd when it comes to our sheriff's office. Okay. Now. I know listen up There's been a whole heap of trouble brewing up in our neck of the woods of north Okay, there's been crime running rampant through the northern stretches including regions around the alamo sea and the palito bay And that's uh law biden folks find ourselves caught in the cross fire Vulnerable to the whims these no good outlaws who they you know, they ride rough shot all over us Okay, they know full well that there ain't no sheriff in sight to keep them in check So it's time that we took matters into our own hands and brought some semblance of law and order back to our community Okay, so my plan is to establish a satellite operation. That's going to be the sheriff's office right up there in sandy shores You know, I call it the little alamo and that is going to be our first step toward reclaiming our safety and protecting our way of life We want to bring justice to our doorstep scare off the environments You know round up the wrongdoers and ensure the safety of our kinfolk All right and mark my words the little alamo ain't just a building But it's going to be a beacon of hope for our community a testament to our unwavering commitment to doing right by our neighbors It's going to give our local lawmen the tools and the backbone that they need to stand tall and defend the good folks of the alamo sea Area and beyond I ain't saying that's going to be easy But there there's going to be some hurdles and challenges to face But I reckon that we're up to the task So I implore y'all esteemed leaders to our great city to stand with us in our fight for justice and lawfulness And make sure the little alamo sees the light of day for the betterment of all of us So in closing I'd like to band together with grit and determination as we set on this noble mission To secure a brighter and safer future for our community together We're going to stamp out the courage of or the excuse me the scourge of scrim and pave the way for a loss Santos that we can all be proud to call home, you know up there in little texas So with the utmost respect and the uh steadiest of resolves. It's uh for me cleats gormwood esquire Okay, quite questions. Uh, how would you guys rate efficacy of the your guys's county patrol right now? For me, uh, it could be better. However, we release officers to go to certain areas within the city depending on numbers That are on duty So if there are enough numbers to keep the actual Central of los santos under control, then we release people to palido over to cypress flats Up into sandy wherever needs our attention the hot spots move all over the city for crime Okay, do you have anything else you want to say about the little alamo sheriff's office cleats gormwood? I want to talk about the bullet points. I'll just go over the damn thing How's that sound? Yeah, read it out loud This is being recorded by the way for the the people of los santos If there's any in any information that needs to be said out loud or that is honest that they can't see Then say it out loud The next thing I want to talk about is the establishment of the little alamo sheriff's office Now as an active member of the community here and a very staunch advocate for public safety myself cleats gormwood Esquire Fixing a picture here this proposal to advocate for the establishment of the the little alamo sheriff's office in sandy shores So there has been a uh major major amounts of criminal activities. We talked about the moonshine going up in the northern regions Uh, there's also vehicle scrapping, you know chopping chopping cars. There's there's uh people robbing shit There's illegal marijuana operations. There is all kinds of shit going on up there And I think we should beef up the law enforcement in that area and and really treat that area As a forward operating base. Okay, we open up that sheriff's office. We're gonna rope in crime We're gonna protect citizens and ensure the safety and well-being of all the residents of los santos So these are the goals we're gonna kick off the renovations of the little alamo sheriff's office to give law enforcement the tools to operate And process individuals. So what does this mean? This means that we need to give law enforcement the green light to park and fetch their police vehicles up there with the valet service We got to give the law enforcement the chance to clock in clock out of duty. That's something that's already available We got to you know set up the damn, you know microphone all the information interrogation room So it all works good We got to give dispatch and other administrative positions there at the uh at the sheriff's office the ability to do Their job when they're needed up there. We got to stock up the armory We got to set up our forensics lab so that we can swap for dna and we can we can run that shit We can put it in our serial number system if we're registering weapons So that we can safely operate from both inside and outside of the sheriff's office Okay, and we got to give the jail cells the capacity to hold more than one criminal at a time I do think there's a little bit of uh renovation that building the the building is gorgeous Don't get me wrong But I think there's a little bit of renovation that build needs that I could expand on if y'all want me to But there's some of that as well. Um point two We got to strengthen the collaboration and the coordination between the law enforcement there and the community to tackle the security concerns and to put in place some preventative measures presence is our first level of force And if there ain't no presence then people are criminals are going to feel like they can just do whatever the hell they want Not getting in trouble. Uh, we got to deliver more prompt and efficient law enforcement services to folks and businesses in the northern regions Including sandy shores palito in the surrounding areas. I mean shit's happening up there people got houses up there I'm I'm damn sure. I know mr. Simone. You live up in palito shavon. You live in uh, you live off of uh, root 68 and Harmon, you know If some shit happens at y'all's houses Then y'all are gonna want to have law enforcement cable of being able to respond quickly not only that But if some shit happens they can find a suspect take him to the sheriff's office Even if they're part of the lsd lspd or the sheriff's office It don't matter but that building is open and operational so that we can process folks up there instead of having to go All the way down m rpd and then all the way back up which then increases The wear and tear to our vehicles increasing our costs And it also reduces the amount of time that we're out there on patrol which again reduces our presence Which again leads to more crime happening to good people in this city It's all a snowball effect a bunch of these little changes is going to help to strengthen the entire community Okay, I'm really focused on community policing by building a positive relationship between law enforcement and the residents there That's going to promote trust cooperation. There's going to be a mutual respect So we need to go out there and let's roll out proactive strategies and initiatives to keep criminals on their toes Guy, you want to beef up that patrol? You want to keep an eye on surveillance and have targeted enforcement operations So so being able to go up there process a guy send it back Uh is is way the hell way the hell more efficient for everybody talked about folks living up there Um, I ain't gonna put words in y'all's mouths But I think you'd probably be lying mr. Simone if you didn't want to have a nice diner or some some restaurant Some some shit up there in burrito for you to be able to go and grab a bite to eat Instead of having to come all the way down to the city wait, well, where when hold on I think what korn was trying to say is that the increased police presence is going to Uh build up the community so that businesses will want to open there eventually Correct me if I'm wrong right. Yeah, exactly. Was that was I was that was Is that I mean Am I wrong here regardless of whenever shit does or doesn't happen My point is is that people need to feel safe whether there's businesses up there or whether there's people living up there I I get this. I understand everything that is required and blah blah blah This whole idea of the sheriff's office open It ain't some damn division where we're going to split our numbers into or any of that it is Let's open up the office. Let's have a sheriff's election We can go we can have a sheriff go open up that office and then they go through the process And let's get the uniforms set up. Let's go through the building You know make make a few touch-ups here and there if we need to go from there It's it's it's not going to be like a hey overnight Hey, half the current pd is now part of the sheriff's office and half the current pd is a part of the lspd And now y'all only patrol here and y'all only patrol there. That's some bullshit, right? I think I think you know excuse my language, but I think it's pretty clear that would be some bullshit And it ain't going to work that way I think what would work well is if we treat that building as a forward operating base And we are able to expand our presence up north, right? So it starts with the sheriff and then that sheriff would work on transfer application and all that That's more behind-the-scenes shit. I mean, I don't know if that's y'all want to hear all that now Does uh creating a new department even I mean is it necessary? Can't we just have the building be modified to accommodate what's necessary? I mean, aren't we still trying to uh bolster the the roster there? There's two parts of this I think I think you make a really good point about building a new department and You know moving away from the lspd and that's not necessarily what this is I'm a big believer in having one unified police department that is you know, this is this is one chain of command You know, you are going to have your sheriff and all that they're they're going to work in tandem They're going to work together. They're not going to be you know, I mean, obviously Well, what's the chain of command then? Yes, what I was wondering how would that break down for you an officer in the lspd would be like a deputy in the Sheriff's office. You'd have the same sort of coincided positions How does the sheriff play in comparatively? Yeah, yeah exactly I think the sheriff would probably be on the same level as the chief police. I mean that that's shit. I'm not I mean I'm not a hundred percent. So it's not a unified chain of command Well, no, they'd work together. Yeah, it wouldn't be they'd work in tandem and then eventually I mean this this is the whole thing I mean, I think that if If I have like a let's say a lieutenant if I have a lieutenant that says something who's a part of the lspd Like hey, go do this thing deputy so-and-so then that deputy listen to that lieutenant in the lspd If there is an issue with an officer and then they have to be strapped for it, right? They have to receive a dap that a great word that is something that somebody can push forward as a part of the lspd Now, I think all disciplinary actions should be talked about amongst amongst the leadership And they should they should approach the the punishment for that individual properly But whether you're your lspd command or bc sl command or la sl command or whatever the hell It's called. I mean you're still a part of the same chain of command So if a deputy responds to a scene in the city, okay, and an lspd command deems it appropriate to discipline them How does that work for the sheriff then does he just sit there and go yep sounds good Can you give me a can you expand on that just give me give me like a scenario One of your deputies if you're the sheriff, let's say hypothetically goes to a scene in the city And then your deputy, you know, let's say executes a pit maneuver and a command member on scene from the lspd He believes that it was excessive and daps them. He was the sheriff disagree with that lspd command member How does that shake out? I mean, I don't think that command member should be Just putting the punishment forth right then and there. I don't think that's appropriate I think I think the the command members should Bring it up to the other leadership and say hey, this happened. How do y'all want to approach this? And I do think if somebody is in the city doing some shit at me It don't matter where you are. You're still police. You're still a police officer And whether you're a share whether you're in the sheriff's office or whether you're in the city People still are going to look at you the same way Hey that guy's either a part of the police department or he ain't when whenever you're operating with folks in the city It's all one chain of command cornwood. I'm gonna I'm gonna in all fairness. I don't think you answered that question What would happen? Well, I mean they'd be they get in trouble for it. Yeah, but but who you said one chain of command So why does the lspd command member need to talk to the sheriff's office? I mean they would they would just they just take it up the chain from what from what I'm understanding Yeah, the court is saying that basically the the command member who deems it Inappropriate and worthy of punishment would then take it to all of command who would then discuss it and then they would Dull out the the punishment as agreed upon by all right. So what happens if you and the chief disagree? I mean in that scenario again, these are these are things that like I'm not I'm not like Hey, we have to do this plan the exact way that I'm saying But what I believe is if if you have like a tiebreaker the tiebreaker would probably come down to be in the department I also think I mean this is the original plan for how I wrote this thing out Was under the assumption that we would probably end up having like a commission or something overseeing everything altogether I want to do whatever's best for the for the pd and whatever's best for the city So, uh, if sheriff is on the same level as chief of police Would they be enacted in the same way? Would it be names put forth for the federal government to decide? Is that your process I think the sheriff I think the sheriff should be should be an election I mean, I thought they do in most cities, but that's y'all's decision. That's just my my opinion don't matter on that Uh, it it should be election and it will be an election So a sheriff is happening no matter if we open the office or not Uh, yeah be it of this of the la so or maybe the bcso comes back or maybe the How do I screw this up red sheriff's office opens up? You know, eventually there will be a sheriff because there needs to be a what it's so hard to understand about this County presence eventually. Okay, we can't just have cops operating out of the the city when there there is a rampant crime problem On 80 percent of the island that isn't the city. I mean nobody's arguing that it's just we don't we're trying to understand why Another department is necessary if the lspd hasn't even been built up yet A counterpoint. What does it matter? How do how does having two different departments even affect anything? Again, it's not it's not another Setting more cooks in the kitchen. How isn't this adding kitchens? Just like yeah, it's like literally just another I mean we could just open up the building described right? Yeah, it's all the same chain of command So it's not adding kitchens and I mean it's think of it as franchising, you know, it's like We need to franchise the police department that only a couple weeks ago We were saying completely wasn't functional and is the federal government okaying the Funding to make all of this happen Or are we are y'all planning on fundraising to have all of that implemented the locks were changed up there recently? I mean the the building is it just need like that place seems like running water and internet and some shit I mean there there's a few things that I would like to add up there I can I would love to expand on that if y'all want me to but as far as money goes Just the bottom line is this if the the state doesn't want to help pay for it I mean that's We we have a lot of other budgetary issues that the nicota can talk about I think when cornwater was originally working on this too was underneath the original iteration of the police continuity plan Which did envision a commissioner right other than a chief of police So I think that uh, you know, obviously we need to be I need some adapting for the current status quo We got two of the the most important people on the subject in the room right now Fortunately, we got uh, we got ruby orc berek johnson Do you believe that your operations would be impacted negatively by the institution of another police department day to day basis like operations No, but from like a structural standpoint. I witnessed what happened years ago And that is my only fear is what what happened years ago If there's not as strong enough foundation and you rip away the pillars of said foundation The whole thing is going to fall down Who are the pillars? Who are you afraid of leaving the lspd and joining a new department? I mean the reality is a lot of people will want to go Why because a lot of people would love to be up north like it's just it is a reality Okay, the issue of you know, who gets the final say in you know, a dispute between a potential future sheriff and chief of police And they can't decide on something blah blah blah That's something that will have to be hammered out But once again, it has no bearing on what corner wanted to present to us. Uh, he's a cop. He's a guy He's an old guy This is his vision for what he could see operating and out of in and out of sandy shores And I want to thank you for presenting this to us finally Yeah, I mean if you have more questions about you know, the nitty gritty just ask me and I can I can talk about it later We'll do thank you cladus. Thank you But here's the thing guys just the the fact of the matter is this Just opening the office is boring, right like Like like we need we need content and if you just open the office without there being an election Without there being like storylines and people slowly like that's just the truth. That's why I say we need to we can't just open up the office
