And then i would also just say, you know, were very interested in how we can work more closely, although we have made a lot of progress this year, on Public Service aids. We know that complaints involving inaudible do not go through occ so we want that to be something that the commission is at least able to look at and you have the mechanism for that. We dont have that. And then i really want to echo what commissioner melara said. I think the intersection of Language Access, arrested parents, Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault and Child Protective Services is a huge intersection that a lot o...

On the phones. Have to wait for the sergeant to come with the phone so they can call the Language Line. Now every officer has the phone so they are using it, which is what we want.

Im a little bit concerned just as one of the commissioners was that this is a little bit heavy on Language Line and i think its easier to track. So i think theres an opportunity to get a clearer picture on statistics and when i look at Community Stats it begs the question. I also think that ...

That goes to show precision being used to address these issues being brought up by the neighborhoods affected by the project. And thats incredibly important. And, so, while speed can be sometimes a bad thing, that a slow process in and of itself is not necessarily a good thing either. That just because something has slowed down doesnt mean that that project is then deliberated appropriately. As long as the appropriate deliberations is happening, that is more than enough. And thats whats happening right now. So, again, wed like to continue the momentum behind the Warriors Arena project and hope...
