12:53 pm
impractical patrol vehicle go who yelled at a cyclist and used harsh and pronounce language there was a witness unrelated to the cyclist who was an attorney for the justification and collaborated the incident. the partner didn't see what happened but saw the officer push the cyclist. discipline was imposed. there was sustained duty will the officer failed to give a report as required by the general order and that this was because the officer was trart a female and the officer was
12:54 pm
admonished. another case where we standard unwarranted action in in relation of duty altercation and the officer inlawfullyly seized property address reviewed to give the owner a property receipt and co- that milking the property with the co- complainants property the officer was admonished. another case a sustained doubt obligation the officer was admonished. in the case of discredit an officer was aggressive and demeaning to a man having a non-psych emergency and that's where the insufficient everyday

12:57 pm
officer whether or not he had a different thought about his denial. so - >> commissioner commissioner chan. >> thank you. i've noticed in the previous reports the majority reports theirs admonishment and not a suspension. i'm wondering in the progressive policy and practices are those cases and other cases getting any specifics is it the first time offense >> yes. the first time offense our for all. >> so the second time. >> that's a republic manned.
