Feliz asks for raw numbers. Hout provides: 8,275 domestic violence felony assaults, 2,165 assaults on police and public safety employees, and approximately 14,834 other assault cases, totaling 20,356 through August.

Oswald J. Feliz

Can you provide some raw numbers on that?

Oswald J. Feliz

So we've had about 21.5 thousand felony assaults this year.

Oswald J. Feliz

Can you provide some raw numbers?

Oswald J. Feliz

How many of those were domestic violence incidents, attack on government workers, police officers, firefighters, and et cetera?

Member of the Public - William Haut

Yes.

Member of the Public - William Haut

Just going to go over them.

Member of the Public - William Haut

So if you look at police officers and public safety employees combined, that's 10.6% of our felony assaults, or roughly 2,165.

Member of the Public - William Haut

That's assaults on POs and assaults on public safety workers.

Oswald J. Feliz

What about the rest, domestic violence or any other?

Member of the Public - William Haut

So domestic violence is 40.7%.

Member of the Public - William Haut

I'm going to get the right numbers right now.

Oswald J. Feliz

All right, so about half of a little more than, a little less than half than 21.5.

Oswald J. Feliz

So it's about like 9,000.

Member of the Public - William Haut

Yeah, so for DV, our felony assault is 8,275.

Member of the Public - William Haut

And like I said, 92% arrest rate on that for domestic violence assaults.

Member of the Public - William Haut

And that's compared to the overall of 20,356 through August.

Oswald J. Feliz

Okay, what about the rest of the felony assaults?

Oswald J. Feliz

So about 8.2 thousand domestic violence, about 2.1 thousand government and assaults on police officers.

Oswald J. Feliz

What about the remainder?

Member of the Public - William Haut

So the remainder are just going to be assault twos.

Member of the Public - William Haut

That's about 14,000.

Member of the Public - William Haut

And felony assaults, that's about 14,834.

Member of the Public - William Haut

That could be if the person's seriously injured, if they're elderly, over 65 years old, or something like that.

Oswald J. Feliz

Okay.
