Matrix Provides Law Enforcement Strategic Plan Update; Community Outreach Upcoming

Matrix, a consultant, provided an update on the strategic plan for law enforcement in Hayden. The plan aims to define services and costs, analyze workload, identify policing needs, and evaluate alternatives to current contract services. Key challenges include obtaining complete computer-aided dispatch (CAD) data due to gaps from the vendor, Filman. Community outreach through open houses and a survey is scheduled for June 11th and 13th. Data analysis, contingent on complete CAD data, will inform future recommendations, with a final report anticipated in August. Discussions also focused on survey design, ensuring resident demographics are captured accurately and addressing concerns about data privacy.
