Lathrop Council Seeks More Information on Council Chamber Security Enhancements, Leaning Towards Handheld Screening
The Lathrop City Council discussed options for enhancing security within the City Council Chambers. Options presented included deploying a K9 officer during meetings, implementing handheld metal detector screening, and utilizing walk-through metal detectors with bag screening. The council expressed concerns about the cost, invasiveness, and practicality of some options, particularly the walk-through detectors. They favored Option 2, handheld screening, and requested staff to return with more detailed information on costs, policies, and potential staffing implications, as well as exploring additional out-of-the-box security alternatives. The council also clarified the capabilities of the police dogs, noting that apprehension dogs are trained for specific threats and are not suitable for general public interaction.

These agreements, effective for two years, include 4% cost-of-living adjustments annually, tiered health contribution increases, and standby pay increases.
