New body worn camera updates with recording after the fact here, no problems yet.

Special Victims cases issue ongoing.  Poor communication coming from and inside the department.  The Union was not advised ahead of time to get ahead of the story.  The reaction and execution have caused more problems than we started with at the beginning.

Please give monthly to PAC if you are not already doing so.
