Item F – Consider for discussion Strategic Plan Initiatives Ms. Hill updated the committee on initiatives that are happening in the region regarding the tasks listed in the Strategic Plan. Law Enforcement Training Coordinators are meeting quarterly to discuss training needs and opportunities in the region. Agencies in Bryan and College Station work together to train their officers in house for required intermediate courses and often have spaces available that other agencies can use and send officers. Mr. Sheridan addressed the active shooter task and that not all schools want to participate in active shooter training even though training is available for free.

Mr. Sheridan informed the committee that we are going to do the things listed in the plan and not just put it on the shelf.
