Custody function and prior audits have focused solely on the custody function, we are a fullservice Law Enforcement agency and we provide penalopy of services that fall under the rubric. For example, we provide Public Security at a number of city departments, in addition, we have staff out in the field, who are looking for people who have outstanding warrants and a k9 unit that conducts bomb and drug sniffing activities.

In addition, we are going to reach out to the Workers Compensation staff to review our findings with them, and come up with some nextsteps that well continue to move our department forward. In the fourth recommendation this area, the department should communicate with Workers Compensation to review ongoing status of outstanding claims. We have a very close relationship with Workers Compensation, and have worked very closely with the team and we would like to continue to do so. So in this vein, were going to set up qu
