I'm glad you brought that up.
1:45:46
Yeah.
1:45:46
I'm glad you're bringing that up because that that is an issue.
1:45:49
The law is very complex.
1:45:51
But the that is covered under the law.
1:45:54
And they shouldn't have to call a council member in order to get that kind of response.
1:46:01
Anytime, if somebody feels that they were the victim of a crime under the jurisdiction in the law, should ask to speak to a supervisor.
1:46:09
And that supervisor in the field, in the stationhouse, wherever it is, they they have other resources.
1:46:17
They have we've given them a lot of resources.
1:46:21
In order to figure out what is and is not something that can be on a complaint report.
1:46:27
So it although it's complex, it's not impossible, and they should know, and exactly what you're saying is correct.
1:46:35
And anytime anyone is in that position, if they feel like they're not being heard and that they were the victim of a crime, just bump it up to the next level.
1:46:44
They can ask for a supervisor right in the field or or in any of our station houses.
