Equity is considered when operational decisions are made for staffing levels and case assignment with an evaluation of impacts on underserved and vulnerable community groups. The program has added an additional Bias Crime detective and an additional Human Trafficking detective to help serve these groups. The Assault Unit has continued its relationships with service providers to the houseless population due to their high level of victimization involving Measure 11 assaults. Data are analyzed to ensure resource adjustments are evidence based and shifted to provide the highest possible level of service. The Bureau attempts to mitigate potential disparate impacts in response to calls for service by educating the community and training its employees regarding implicit bias and procedural justice to identify and address systemic or investigative inequities. Changes to Program The Person Crimes Investigation and Property Crimes Investigation offers have been rolled into one program offer and renamed to the Detectives Division. In addition, the Digital Forensics Lab formerly under the Forensics Evidence program offer was moved to the Detectives Division. These were consolidated to align budgetary structure with the organizational structure of the bureau. 684
