Allows anyone to report a crime or to be a witness or a victim to report a crime. The policy is already bearing fruit. On the ground, our staff is seeing better cooperation with immigrant communities. Back to 2010, we did invite the Justice Department in. Their comprehensive investigation showed that we had problems in the way we treated the immigrant community. We wanted to fix that. Since 2010, we have launched 11 new recruit classes, written 34 more of these policies, more are being drafted, covering canine use, prisoner transport, taser operation, bodyworn cameras to name a few. Now, going back to march, 2015, we started drafting this policy with the nopd, the federal monitor ands Justice Department. In september, we brought in i. C. E. We asked the experts. They were brought in at both the local and headquarters level. At the time, they told us the policy complied with all federal i. C. E. Requirements for Law Enforcement.

The nasdaq off by 11. Take a look at at asia. Nikkei was down by a quarter percent. And the shanghai composite down by 2. 8 . In europe. Same trend weve seen. The dax is down about half a percent.
