Status of Women committee  Very briefly on the gender analysis, it found some things that were outside of this discussion around harassment and sexual harassment. Frankly, it found that our policies and our practices were generally bias-free in terms of gender issues. There are a number of other troubling

Status of Women committee  Any number of ways. Of course there are existing ways of making a complaint to people outside of the chain of command, but we've even begun to provide for confidential reporting lines and other means of having people identify those.

For example, I've restructured the organization in terms of having all the commanding officers report directly to me.

Public Safety committee  Yes.

Public Safety committee  Yes, it would. But let me put a caveat on that. I get that we are a police force. I get that we have to be careful about how we manage ourselves.
