Police Interviews - William A. Gillespie <br />Page 7 <br />Mr. Gillespie said there are three concepts 1) a money maker means <br />big trouble, 2) he believes in compassion - using a warning, 3) <br />traffic accident needs enforcement. With a traffic stop a Field <br />Interview Card could be filled out for information, the opportunity <br />to make a person feel good with only a warning and there is a <br />danger of an officer being injured or killed. There would be <br />evaluations on the officers performance. <br />Council Member Kuether asked Mr. Gillespie if he felt video cameras <br />in the squad car would be an asset. <br />Mr. Gillespie said he felt cameras or anything extra in the vehicle <br />could be a deathtrap when there is an accident. They were a good <br />training tool however. <br />Mr. Schumacher asked Mr. Gillespie what else he did. <br />Mr. Gillespie said he likes to golf, work on his computer because <br />he is in the process of writing three training booklets. <br />Larry Thompson asked Mr. Gillespie if he would like to add <br />anything. Mr. Gillespie said he could do a good job for Lino Lakes <br />and is looking forward to doing that. <br />Council Member Kuether asked Mr. Gillespie how much he is being <br />paid. Mr. Gillespie said $51,900/year in St. Paul. <br />Larry Thompson said he would be in contact with Mr. Gillespie on <br />Tuesday, after the City Council had made a decision at the meeting <br />on Monday night. <br />Mr. Gillespie thanked everyone for their time and the opportunity <br />to be here today. <br />1 <br />
