CFS, the leader of the Oversight Committee, has not followed up with its interagency partners that have signed off on the Protocol, but have not submitted their own CSEC department plan/protocols to the Oversight Committee. 13831 San Pablo Avenue, Building I • San Pablo, CA 94806 Main: 510-215-3000 • Fax: 510-215-3011 www.SanPabloCA.gov ៀប នៃ ១ ពីសម្ព័ន្ធិសាស o guyan 1800.Tabung ber ..... about and and the अपूर्वा है है है है है के बहुम, इंग्रेस के मार्किन के अधिकार है कि एक में अधिकार है अपने किया r vilos de pela de la comercia departe de la labera de la propertione de la labera de la labera de la labera dLa filografia de la labera de la labera de la labera de la labera de la labera de la labera de la labera de la ું શકુ જાલા અને કે કહ્યું છે. જે મારા જેવા માટે કે જો જાતા હતા છે, જે કે કે કે કે કે કે કે કે કે કે કે કે કે to the second of la confedit de paragraphe de la completa, me me la freshe la freshe la la la la la la la la la la la la la Andrew Arthred Market and March Arthred Arthred Andrew Arthred Arthred Andrew Arthred Andrew Arthred Andrew AAndrew Arthred Andrew Arthred Andrew Arthred Andrew Arthred Andrew Arthred Andrew Arthred Andrew Arthred Andrew A Commence of the company of the commence of the commence of the commence of the commence of the commence of the commence of the commence of the commence of the commence of the commence of the commence of the commence of t eden er er e 1.4 Letter to Civil Grand Jury re: Grand Jury Report: "Caring for the Victims" `- August 1, 2016 Response: San Pablo partially disagrees with Finding #7.

Suspected CSEC victims are being arrested and booked into Juvenile Hall for their own safety pursuant to various statutes under the Welfare & Institutions Code, relating to infractions and crimes committed by youth, while the County assesses the appropriate health and social services to provide. Response: San Pablo partially disagrees with Finding #9. The City cannot address the practices of other entities, including whether all suspected CSEC victims are being arrested and booked into Juvenile Hall for their own safety. In San Pablo, suspected CSEC victims are not automatically arrested and booked into Juvenile Hall. The San Pablo Police Department takes an approach to CSEC that is victim-centered and trauma-informed.

The Board of Supervisors, City Councils, and Sheriff's Department should consider recommending that all first responders (usually law enforcement) refer suspected victims of CSEC to specialized and dedicated CSEC personnel, to be established within CFS. Response: This recommendation will not be implemented because it is not warranted. While the recommendation may be an appropriate solution, the CSEC protocol should be determined at the county, not city level. Once a process has been identified, either within or outside of the CSEC protocol, the City of San Pablo will follow appropriate protocols for referring suspected victims of CSEC to other personnel.
No single database covering all CSEC-related arrests, referrals, and pending cases exist in the County. Response: San Pablo agrees with Finding #11. The City is aware that no single database exists.

City Councils and Sheriff's Department should direct law enforcement to avail themselves of CSEC training programs formulated by CFS. Response: This recommendation has been implemented. The San Pablo Police Department has and will continue to attend CSEC training programs formulated by CFS and other organizations.

Due to the lack of a single database in Contra Costa County covering all CSEC-related arrests, referrals, and pending cases, the County does not know the number of victims of CSEC and where they are located. Response: San Pablo partially disagrees with Finding #12. While the City acknowledges that no single database in the County exists that covers all CSEC- related arrests, referrals and pending cases, the City cannot address whether or not the County knows the number of victims of CSEC or where they are located.

County personnel and law enforcement dealing with victims of CSEC are well-meaning, compassionate and dedicated people trying to make the best of a very difficult situation. Response: San Pablo partially disagrees with Finding #13. The City cannot address the practices of other entities, but does tend to agree that County personnel and law enforcement dealing with victims of CSEC are well-meaning, compassionate and dedicated people trying to make the very best of a very difficult situation.
No recommendations for this finding
Most County personnel and law enforcement dealing with victims of CSEC lack in-depth CSEC training, necessary facilities for temporarily accommodating the victims and a clear-cut plan of action, which lays out how to rescue, protect, and serve the victims of CSEC in a manner that is caring and trauma-informed. Letter to Civil Grand Jury re: Grand Jury Report: "Caring for the Victims" August 1, 2016 Ŷ Response: San Pablo partially disagrees with Finding #14. The City cannot address the practices of other entities, including how other agencies deal with victims of CSEC. The San Pablo Police Department does work toward protecting and serving the victims of CSEC in a manner that is caring and trauma-informed. Additional in-depth training, facilities for temporary accommodations and a clear-cut plan of action at a countywide level could help improve conditions for the victims of CSEC.
