Committed, and then, the hate crime is added onto that. So generally, the Police Department will charge the felony if possible, but its based on the initial crime thats committed. Supervisor fewer and so what is your criteria in your the measure that you use that is a hate crime, what is the criteria . So we look at basically, its the penal code. Its the motivation. So was this the extent of the crime, and then, we look at what what the penal code will allow us to charge based on that. And then, we work very closely with the District Attorneys Office to make sure that we can get obviously the stiffest punishment and the most the strictest charge we can based on the incident that occurs. So i given that youre the only representative from the Police Department, i was, you know, very sad and not surprised, but sad to see the data from the Human Rights Commission that over a third of the lgbtqi people do not trust the police, and im just wondering how the Police Department is addressing th
Very helpful because it lets us see that its not in any one neighborhood, but that its in every neighborhood, and it definitely goes underreported, or we seem to think its only happening in one community.

All of these
