Services and social services agencies. Theyre not likely to call occ to make a complaint. I think anything that relies purely on occ complaints or some other kind of data will be misleading.

I really appreciate officer hall who is also in eric changs position; our organization has been involved with this commission for six years....

Good evening commissioners. Thank you for inviting the city Administrators Office. My name is linda young, deputy city administrator. I will discuss qui...

The whole process. Not having access to a cell phone for an officer forces him into position to use whatever is available or the personal cell phone. That should not be the case. One thing we do, i want to mention as a program, as a policy that we would like to see,we would like to see Language Line gets training on Domestic Violence awareness and maybe cultural competency issues. They provide a huge service to the city. The city is one of their biggest clients. I think there is a lot to be said...

Tracking information system. Thank you commissioner. Thank you. If i can show you the Domestic Violence dashboard, these are four reporter markup, dv cases, arrested and bailed; dv cases arrested and bailed by zip code; dv cases sentenced vs. Dismissed; and dv cases convicted whether felony or misdemeanor. For the first report, if you look at the chart, this report will show by fiscal year the number of cases. When you zoom in on the year you can see by month but the number of dv cases are, and ...

Brought up in the neighborhood meetings with the immigrant communities is that they often want to keep the family unit intact. Although the victim wont be deported, she is concerned about the father of the children being deported. That has a Chilling Effect. That is a consideration that we as a community have to take. I will chime in on behalf of the Domestic Violence community; it has been a high priority for us to change the role of california and other states, operating with secure communitie...

Certified, 7 russian, 6 certified, 39 tagalog and 5 vietnamese. There is no lag time to getting information on any type of crime occurring.

Sometimes, you may be underreported, it can be a lot higher if not put in...

They know they will get to have an interpreter, if they have to wait whether an hour or 45 minutes and during that time the officer is talking probably to the abusive partner, it changes the dynamic. The police come in but theyre not always 100 percent sure that calling the police in the situation is going to be the most successful route. And then you have is a situation where theyre not able to communicate, that dont know what is going on and the city officer talking to the abusive party who a ...
