The council unanimously approved a minute motion directing the city manager to bring back an item analyzing anticipated changes to ARJIS/ARGIS case categorization and deactivated charge codes, and how those changes may affect reporting, prosecution and victims in Carlsbad.

Councilmember Shin said the deactivations are causing confusion among local law enforcement about how crimes are categorized and prosecuted and asked for a briefing so the city can understand and respond to statewide data and code changes. The motion was seconded for purposes of discussion and passed unanimously; staff did not provide details beyond directing a future agenda item.
