like to stress that...I am a volunteer. I've been a volunteer <br /> neighborhood watch lead for four years now. And have not <br /> received any money, whatsoever, for the job that I do. Provide <br /> HPD with volunteer support 24/7 in an effort to train members <br /> thereby reducing law enforcement burdens. All meetings, if not <br /> attended by the community policing officer are documented to the <br /> lieutenant or captain of the patrol via email or directly. The needs <br /> and concerns of neighborhood watch groups are discussed to <br /> encourage the mantra of neighborhoods. Neighbors helping <br /> neighbors. And again I'd like to state that neighborhood watch is a <br /> Federal program sponsored by the Bureau of Justice and the <br /> National Sheriff's Association. I have according to my <br /> information that I've given you. I have been involved in law <br /> enforcement. I am retired. I retired as Chief and I spent 31 years <br /> in law enforcement. I was with community policing for quite a <br /> while and I know pretty much all about how to run that thing. So <br /> that being said, I am now on the Fire Commission and I find that <br /> my association with the Fire Commission....which has been since <br /> 2016...has been a great experience. And has been extremely <br /> helpful with many issues placed before the commission. When the <br /> seat on the Police Commission was opened, I consulted with Rose <br /> Bautista and the subject of conflict interest was discussed, by the <br /> way. Since my term in law enforcement was many years ago...I <br /> feel the experience and knowledge that I carry would benefit the <br /> Police Commission. It should be noted that five members of the <br /> fire commission were former fire officers. They were and <br /> invaluable asset to the decision making process. I interact with a <br /> lot of folks on Hawai`i Island and I feel that my perspective can <br /> only add light to any discussions that may arise. And that's all I <br /> have to say. Unless you have some questions. <br /> Mr. Wiseman: Ah, St. Ambrogio, first off, I read your background and find highly <br /> commendable. <br /> Ms. St. Ambrogio: Thank you. Please call me Bobbye. Nobody calls me Marcella <br /> except for the tax man. <br /> Mr. Wiseman: Highly commendable in the area of criminal justice. And I'm just <br /> curious...at Bergen County, New Jersey, you were a Chief of a <br /> Sheriff's Department. What couple of cities in Bergen County be. <br /> Ms. St. Ambrogio: Ah...well...I personally lived in a city called Oakland, New <br /> Jersey. Bergen County was the largest County in New Jersey. We <br /> had over a million residents and our department was very well <br /> organized because we had so many different varieties of situations <br /> that we had to face. In addition to that, we also supported NYPD in <br /> 12 <br />
