The supervisor then initials off on the 4 bottom of it. 5 And then it gets disseminated to what is 6 now the Organized Crime/Vice and Narcotics Unit. It 7 is the sergeants responsibility then of that unit 8 to disseminate it to other units depending on the 9 information provided. 10 Obviously, if it, if this contained 11 information on narcotics, it would stay with 12 Organized Crime/Vice, and Narcotics. If it had 13 information on gypsy thefts, it would go to the 14 detective bureau. If it had an officer safety 15 information, you know, I stopped a kid and he had a 16 necklace with a, if you pulled it apart and it 17 became a knife, then it would go to the entire 18 police department. 19 Q.

And when a report like that is 19 drafted, and you say is it always turned ova to the 20 captain or the sergeant? 21 A.

I am just not sue exactly what goes on in the police department and whose role it is to do that. So you're not the right person. We'll just keep moving on. Some of the documents that we have talked about today have been redacted. I think the explanation is they are minor victims. My question is if we wanted an unredacted version and if we agree that we're entitled to it, would that be something that would be in the possession of the Palm Beach Police Department? MR. PIKE: Form. THE WITNESS: I would assume so. Page 272 1 BY MR. EDWARDS: 2 Q. Today is the first day you're learning it? 3 A. Yes, sir. 4 Q.
