Brewer questions DCWP on OATH cases and summons dismissals

Okay.

And then how does, do you talk to Oath about those cases that are brought to Oath?

How many cases do you know in what time period are brought to Oath and what happens there?

Do you have any sense of that effort?

My understanding is the majority of the summonses that PD issues are not to oath.

They issue principally C summonses or B summonses with oath, but there are some that do go to oath, so we're working to build ties with oath for greater information transmission.

And it helps that our former commissioners are there as well, so we'll be reaching out to them to see if we can formalize that.

Oh, no, so the ones that PD deals with, they deal with them themselves.

Those are the ones that the chair was asking about that often don't go very far.

The reason they don't go very far is the cops, with all due respect, don't know how to write.

And so it's hard to read, and then the judge says, sorry, can't read it, goodbye, because I go to the court and I listen, and that's what happens.

So that's a whole other topic about writing versus putting it on some kind of a digital format.

But so your cases don't go to oath.

Your cases do or do not go to oath.

I thought they did.

Our cases would go to oath.

That's what I thought.

But the on-street enforcement is handled by PD.

Okay.
