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 for the idea that language in and of itself is not a panacea; it is not monolithic. There is a difference between saying a restraining order and saying something else, and how you even talk to the victim o...

Are allowed to do. Thank you, commissioner chan. Any further Public Comment on this . We will now have Public Comment on items b, c and d hearing none come forward. Good evening again, robert davis. I was wondering why dont we have more opportunities for the city to buy back guns instead of one time or once a year or twice a year, why not have a room where you are turn in a gun and why not increase the money, the money that you get when you turn in a gun .
