COMMITTEE WORK PLAN UPDATE
RECOMMENDATION
Defer the following item from the March 17, 2022 Public Safety, Finance, and Strategic Support (PSFSS) Committee meeting to the May 19, 2022 PSFSS Committee meeting:
Sexual Assault Forensic Exam (SAFE) Coordination Report. (Police) Purpose: Provide a report on coordination of SAFE exam procedures with the County of Santa Clara, including on the process for applying for State reimbursement and reporting procedures for Non-Investigative Reports (NIRs).
BACKGROUND
At the November 5, 2021 Joint Meeting between the City of San José’s PSFSS Committee and the County of Santa Clara’s Children, Seniors and Families Committee, the PSFSS Committee directed City staff to coordinate with the County on two issues that arose during the joint meeting—the process for applying for State reimbursement of Sexual Assault Forensic Exam (SAFE) costs and reporting procedures for Non-Investigative Reports (NIRs)—and to report back on this coordination to the PSFSS Committee. This item is intended to provide that report.
The Police Department has begun discussions with the County of Santa Clara on this issue, but additional work is needed to ensure that staff can make a comprehensive report to the Committee. Thus, staff recommends deferring this item to the May 19, 2022 PSFSS Committee meeting.
