president mazzucco: director hicks. hicks hicks -- director hicks: the office of citizen complaints did provide specific suggestions, recommendations for amendment to the officer-involved shooting policy. we did so in the five-year study that chief gascon did. we provided those recommendations which were based on language in los angeles' policy, as well as recommendations. a week and a half ago, we received the draft proposed by d.g.o., and it differs significantly from what is in the department bulletin. we do hope that we can continue to work collaboratively with the department on this very important policy. president mazzucco: chief? >> again, i apologize that i am not prepared. i had some questions with regard to this, which is why i sent it back for adjustments. we will be prepared to present it to the commission on that specific date. you have my word on it. i apologize for the delay. >> no apologies necessary. one thing i would ask director hicks tonight, if the o.c. does not come through, the department, i would
