Council receives revised three‑year police action plan; chief outlines supervision and technology priorities

Acting Chief Perez presented the San Fernando Police Department’s revised three‑year organizational action plan, describing eight focus areas: accountability, training, policies, critical incident review, complaints, technology and records, supervision and transparency. Perez said roughly two dozen of 33 recommendations are already underway and emphasized the need for a supervisor/in‑service training program for sergeants and clearer review processes for use‑of‑force and vehicle pursuits.

Perez described steps to make complaint and discipline processes more transparent and to implement a Guardian records/review system; he also noted near‑term technology priorities such as stabilizing dispatch/911 infrastructure and restoring in‑car computers and bodycam integrations. Council members pressed for timelines, clarity on policy changes and regular reporting; the council voted to receive the plan and provide direction to implement quarterly reporting back to council.
