>>> WELCOME BACK. GETTING ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS WITH SACRAMENTO
POLICE CHIEF.
TEXAS AT 906-321-3310.
CHIEF, THIS WEEK LOCAL AFRICAN-
AMERICAN COMMITTEE MEMBERS
OFFERED AN OPEN LETTER ABOUT
CONCERNS I HAVE ABOUT
CORONAVIRUS AND THE COMMITTEE.
ONE OF THE THINGS THE S4 IS A
COMMITMENT BY LAW ENFORCEMENT
TO NOT CRIMINALIZE AFRICAN-
AMERICANS WHILE ADHERING TO
COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS LIKE
WEARING MASKS.
AS A CHIEF, HOW HAVE YOU DEALT
WITH THIS MASK SITUATION?
>> RIGHT NOW PEOPLE ARE NOT
REQUIRED TO WEAR A MASK UNLESS
A BUSINESS REQUIRES PEOPLE TO
WEAR IT TO ENTER AND THEN THAT
IS UP TO THE BUSINESS.
SO BASICALLY THAT BUSINESS
WOULD JUST REFUSE SERVICE IF
SOMEBODY DILATED THAT AND IT
WOULD NOT BE A LAW ENFORCEMENT
ISSUE.
LIKE A SAID, OUR PRIMARY
ENFORCEMENT SITUATIONS ARE SUCH
IS ALREADY ILLEGAL AND
EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO THE
COMMUNITY THERE'S HUNDREDS OF
PEOPLE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY.
WE HAVE NO INTENTION OF
ENFORCING ANYBODY WEARING MS
BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT'S NOT PART
OF THE ORDER.
WHETHER THAT GETS UPDATED THIS
WEEK AT THE COUNTY HEALTH
OFFICER THAT MASS ARE REQUIRED
THEN WE WOULD ACHIEVE THAT THE
SAME WAY WE ARE WITH EVERYTHING
ELSE AND EDUCATE.
>> NEXT TEXT, IF WE KNOW OF A
NONESSENTIAL BUSINESS THAT IS
OPEN, WHAT SHOULD WE DO?
IS THAT SOMETHING YOU WANT TO
HEAR ABOUT?
>> WE WOULD GET CALLS PROBABLY
IN THE LOT OF THOSE CASES
BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T KNOW
ANYBODY ELSE TO CALL.
AUNT WE HAVE SEEN THAT OVER THE
LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS IN
DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE COUNTRY
AND PARTS OF CALIFORNIA WHERE
BUSINESSES ARE SAYING THAT I
WILL JUST OPEN.
SO MOST LIKELY THOSE WOULD BE
DEALT WITH BY CODE ENFORCEMENT
OR SOME SORT OF PERMITTING
DIVISION.
AND THEY WOULD START OUT WITH
EDUCATION AND AT SOME POINT
POTENTIALLY THEY COULD CHANGE
THEIR ENFORCEMENT.
BUT FOR THE MOST PART OUR
BUSINESSES WILL COMPLY AND
HOPEFULLY AS WE MOVE FORWARD IN
THESE DIFFERENT PHASES THEN A
LOT OF BUSINESSES WILL BE ABLE
TO OPEN UNDER CERTAIN
CONDITIONS.
>> THERE IS A GYM PLANNING ON
WALKING UP IN SACRAMENTO FRIDAY
AT MIDNIGHT.
SO THAT OBVIOUSLY IS NOT WHAT
THE GOVERNOR WANTS AND THAT
FINE IS ANYWHERE FROM UP TO
$1000.
SO YOU MAY BE GETTING A CALL ON
THAT ONE BUT YOU ARE PROBABLY
EXPECTING THINGS LIKE THIS.
>> AKAMAI SO THAT IN THE PAPER
THE OTHER DAY.
AND TECHNICALLY ACCORDING TO
THE ORDER, PEOPLE THAT ARE
WORKING OUT WOULD ALSO BE IN
VIOLATION OF THE ORDER.
SO POTENTIALLY IF ENFORCEMENT
WAS THE ROUTE THAT POTENTIALLY
THEY COULD BE CITED, TOO.
A LOT OF IT MIGHT BE HANDLED
THROUGH CODE ENFORCEMENT AND
THROUGH LICENSING AND THINGS
LIKE THAT.
BUT HOPEFULLY FOR THE MOST PART
WHAT WE HAVE SEEN IS MOST OF
THE BUSINESSES ARE COMPLYING
FROM THE BEGINNING AND THEN FOR
THE MOST PART THE ONES THAT
HAVEN'T OR REMAIN OPEN ONCE WE
TALK TO THEM THEN THEY WILL
CLOSE DOWN OR COMPLY.
>> I DIDN'T KNOW THAT IF I WENT
TO THAT GYM I ALSO WOULD BE IN
TROUBLE.
I GUESS THAT'S ANOTHER EXCUSE
FOR ME TO NOT GO TO THE GYM OR
WORKOUT.
>> YOU CAN WORK AT YOUR GARAGE.
YOU CAN FALSE TONIGHT AT 6:30
PM ON INSTAGRAM AND WE WILL GET
YOU WORKED AT WITH A K-9 UNIT.
>> OKAY.
I AM THERE.
THANKS CHEAPEST
>> ART.
WE WILL BE LOOKING FOR YOU.
>> NEXT TEXT COMING IN, WHAT
CAN EMPLOYEES DO IF CONCERNED
ABOUT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
IF THEIR EMPLOYER IS NOT TAKING
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
>> THERE'S PROBABLY RESOURCES
IN THE COUNTY THEY COULD
CONTACT THROUGH THE HEALTH
DEPARTMENT.
ASSUME THAT MEANS THINGS LIKE
MASKS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
I WOULD ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO
WEAR MASKS AND TAKE THEIR OWN
PRECAUTIONS.
TO KEEP THEMSELVES SAFE THE
PROBLEM IS THERE HAS BEEN A LOT
OF MISINFORMATION OUT IN THE
COMMUNITY SO THEY REALLY NEED
TO GO TO THE COUNTY'S WEBSITE
AND THERE IS A TON OF
INFORMATION NOT ONLY STATISTICS
BUT OTHER INFORMATION THAT
PEOPLE CAN OBTAIN AND THOSE
ITEMS ON THE COUNTY'S WEBSITE
ARE FOR SURE FACTUAL.
SOMETIMES SOCIAL MEDIA IS NOT
NECESSARILY TRUE.
>> THAT IS ALSO
