Svu. Anything further . Marshall. This is a comment, more to the public. At times to seems to take a while to get these things done, but generally what we have seen because they have gone through this vetting process, with all of the parties, and when we get them, they seem to be pretty airtight, so be patient. And all of the bugs have been worked out and agreed upon and that will be the Language Access or any of these general orders, and so we will get it and it will be good i am pretty sure. Thank you. Any Public Comment, regarding this department general order . And it is not really before us tonight. An update. Good evening. Good evening, commissioners my name is mimish, and i am the director for the department on the status of women and i want to echo the thanks to the captain and sergeant for involving the community and the department and being able to give the feedback on this policy. I agree that there are important changes on the piece of when to refer to the Child Protective
Language, concerning the children and the concern of incarcerated parents as it is comparable to the Domestic Violence, incidents and we are there for prelty much ready and once marian does the final tweaking on it we are ready to go forward. Miss upton you can come forward and give us your update. Sure. Good evening, commissioners good evening, chief. This has been a long journey and we are still on it. And as captain mcfaden mentioned that we started about a year and a half ago, working on an officer involved policy that we hope will finalize soon, with the department and bring that to the commission, as well. But, when we went back to the regular dgo, on the Domestic Violence, we realized that there were some unanswered issues, and some concerns from the department about the ininvolvement of the Child Protective Services and the Domestic Violence cases and so we just like the department, we in the community, are trying to put in the barrier of the cps has on the publics willingness
Code and while the Police Officers know what that means, i dont think that the average parent will understand what is covered by that and so our suggestion is to spell that out a little bit more to explain, the threats of the great bodily injury. And other than that, we are very grateful that a lot of the feedback that we gave was incorporated into the policy and, we think that it is a lot stronger now, in preventing unintended consequences of people being afraid to Contact Police for help, if they knew that there would be an automatic referral to the Child Protective Services thank you. One last thing, that you may want to know about it, and especially commissioner, melara, there is a referral card that we are going to put together with the packet that the officers have to hand for our victims when we go to a scene, explaining exactly what is happening as far as the cps referral, and i have given that card, that referral card that we are looking at to the occ, to marian and to the Com

And so it is selfexplanatory, and a card that you will see. Okay . And upon completing of the order. Thank you. Thank you. Hearing no public, or further Public Comment, call the next line item.

Reporter the arsonist has struck a church, commercial building and several residences like this overnight. Authorities think he is sticking to an area he knows well, striking in the overnight hours and using ordinary debrises to start the fire. They released this sketch.
