In january this year chief suhr assigned me to the special victims units and didnt realize what a big tang i had for me and was very [inaudible] to accept this position. It was then i began working with Domestic Violence advocates and city agencies in a effort to develop the best practice and provide service for our providers. In doing so, i have the wonderful opportunity to work with the most committed, drichben and dedicated people one could ask to work with. These are people who care about people and want the best possible outcome for those involved in a unfortunate live changing event. In order to provide the best possible service and practice we have to have knowledge of the service each organization or agency can provide. Today i can say we have that knowledge.

I cant thank enough the people i had the pleasure to work with. They are truly amazing leaders working together for a great cause.
