Police Department Duty Manual Updates Report.
...Recommendations
As recommended by the Public Safety, Finance and Strategic Support Committee on March 18, 2021, accept a report on updates to the Police Department's Duty Manual, including but not limited to Section S4312 Sexual Assault Cases and Section S4313 Domestic Violence, for the purposes of improving the Police Department's interaction with survivors of domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault, human trafficking, and other vulnerable populations, including 1) requiring officers to respond to and investigate all calls for service for domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault, and human trafficking for potential high lethality and write a police report if a crime occurred, and 2) ensuring a trauma-informed approach to an officer's response by providing survivors with access to an in-person advocate and/or a referral to such advocate by telephone, pamphlet, or resource card before the officer leaves the scene regardless if the survivor asks for the referral services.
