also
see

sexual
assault
Union.
B
B
A
Thank
you,
chair
Flaherty,
and,
thank
you
all
so
much
for
being
here.
I
I
love
the
fact
that
we
have
a
lot
of
participation
from
my
colleagues.
This
is
clearly
an
issue
that
we're
we're
seeing
and
hearing
about
across
the
city
and
that's
exactly
why
I
filed
this
hearing
order
just
to
call
awareness
and
attention
to
this
disturbing
Trend
that
we're
seeing
across
the
city,
especially
now
that
we
are
about
to
look
at
the
calendar
about
two
months
into
the
of
school
year.
Kids
are
back.
A
Boston
already
has
the
highest
ratio
of
20
to
34
year
olds
among
large
U.S
cities
and
I
have
seen
and
I
think
just
because
I
I
may
be
the
millennial
Council,
not
the
only
Millennial
Council,
but
but
certainly
the
youngest,
but
I
have
had
a
lot
of
young
women
and
men
detail
their
experiences
to
my
office
and
emails
and
tagging
me
on
social
media
platforms.
Just
about
the
stories
outlining
how
responsible
they've
been
they've
just
had
one
or
two
drinks
with
their
friends,
but
quickly
their
night
has
changed
for
the
worst
without
reasonable
explanation.
A
And
so
you
know
you
expect
to
go
out
and
have
a
great
night
with
your
friends
only
to
have
it
completely
derailed
to
the
potential
climate
they
had
of
a
bad
actor
and
it
can
happen
to
anyone.
I
have
talked
about
the
fact
that
it
happened
to
me
in
undergrad.
It
was
a
close
call,
but
I
caught
it
just
in
time
and
here
in
Boston
I
know
that
the
Boston
Police
Department
is
taking
this
very
seriously.
A
They
have
already
put
out
formal
notices
to
the
public
and
the
most
recent
one
was
put
out
just
yesterday:
warning
patrons
of
local
area
bars
and
clubs
about
drugs,
such
as
were
hypnol
I,
hope,
I
said
that
correct
in
the
drinks
of
unsuspecting
victims
and
throughout
this
hearing.
I
just
want
to
be
mindful
that
we
are
not
placing
the
burden
of
behavior
change
larger
than
victims,
and
that's
another
reason
why
I
put
this
hearing
out
there.
A
So,
throughout
this
hearing
and
I'll
get
into
the
goals
and
how
I
would
love
the
conversation
to
go
at
the
discretion
of
the
chair,
but
just
using
this
opportunity
to
change
the
narrative
around
incidents
like
this
that
do
disproportionately
affect
women,
and
the
emphasis
from
many
is
often
focused
on
what
we
need
to
do
to
protect
ourselves,
rather
than
what
we're
doing
to
prevent
that
bad
actors
or
bad
actions
on
behalf
of
those
responsible.
So
just
really
quickly
getting
into
the
goals
of
the
hearing
and
then
I
would
love
to
turn
it
over.
A
To
my
my
co-sponsor,
councilor
Luigi,
but
I
would
love
to
get
a
better
understanding
from
the
city
of
Boston
through
the
police
department,
the
licensing
board
and
Shiva
Duo
of
what
is
happening
in
our
city.
So
getting
a
good
understanding
of
a
snapshot
and
getting
concrete
data.
How
many
cases,
and
where
is
this
frequently
happening,
walk
through
the
entirety
of
what
happens
when
confronted
with
a
potential
case
that
is
reported
or
identified,
talk
to
the
police
department,
about
existing
reporting
protocols
and
identify
opportunities
for
reforms
and
then,
of
course,
hear
from
Chief
Edo
who's.
A
D
Thank
you,
Mr,
chair
and
I
want
to
thank
my
Council
colleague,
councilor
Coletta,
for
having
the
vision
to
bring
this
hearing
forward
and
allowing
me
to
co-sponsor
it
with
her.
As
we
all
know,
and
as
she
stated,
the
rise
of
drink
contamination
at
restaurants,
bars
and
clubs
throughout
our
city
is
a
pressing
issue
that
needs
to
be
met
with
urgency.
Boston
is
a
young
and
vibrant
City.
D
Yes,
Gigi
is
our
youngest
member,
but
she
is
not
the
only
Millennial,
and
so
I
too
I'm
a
member
of
that
tribe
and
enjoy
Boston's
nightlife
and
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
safe
for
everyone.
Boston
is
in
fact
one
of
the
fastest
growing
cities
for
young
professionals
and
it's
important
for
us
to
do
everything
we
can
to
support
growing
nightlife.
But
we
can't
do
that
without
also
ensuring
residents
feel
safe.
D
Increasingly
too
many
patrons,
especially
women
are
feeling
unsafe,
because
the
rising
issue
of
contaminated
drinks,
the
BPD,
received
57
allegations
of
drinks,
biking
in
Boston
between
January
1
and
July
31st,
but
we
know
that
this
is
most
likely
100
count,
because
so
much
of
this
goes
unreported.
It's
also
vital
that
while
we
have
this
combination
of
the
steps
we
can
take
to
prevent
this
from
happening,
we
also
take
the
opportunity
to
acknowledge
and
apologize
to
folks
folks
who
have
been
victims
and
who
are
survivors
of
Gene
contamination
in
the
city.
D
Whether
you've
come
forward
or
not.
We
see
you
and
we
are
here
to
do
the
collaborative
work
necessary
to
ensure
that
your
experience
and
that
your
pain
is
never
ever
repeated
and
the
only
way
we
do
this
right
is
to
bring
all
stakeholders
into
this
dialogue.
So
I
want
to
commend
councilor
Coletta
for
really
working
so
hard
to
get
a
robust
and
diverse
group
of
folks
here,
and
it's
going
to
take
all
of
us.
Restaurant
owners,
law
enforcement,
universities
and
survivors
really
showing
us
the
way.
I'm.
D
D
E
Thank
you
thank
you,
Mr,
chair
and
just
want
to
Echo,
very
briefly
with
Council
Louisiana
and
Council
Coletta
said
this
is
an
important
Public,
Safety
and
public
health
matter.
It
impacts
so
many
people
as
as
a
father
who
has
a
young
data.
That's
that's
in
a
late
late,
teens
early
early
20s,
you
know
and
represents
in
the
area
where
there's
a
lot
of
young
women
in
South
Boston.
This
is
a
very
important
discussion.
This
is
a
very
important
issue.
E
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
city
officials
that
are
on
this
call,
what
the
police,
the
the
economic
development
team,
the
licensing
team
in
others,
but
I
also
know.
There's
College
colleges
here,
including
someone
I
work
with
very
well
Ken
Ryan,
so
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
for
sponsoring
this
important
subject.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Mr
chair.
C
B
I
was
informed
by
our
colleague
that
she
had
to
take
a
call
but
she'll
be
joining
us
shortly.
So
we
have
three
great
panels
today.
The
administration
panel
led
by
the
chief,
the
chairwoman
and
the
lieutenant
followed
by
an
education
panel
from
representatives
from
from
our
institutions,
as
well
as
an
advocate
panel,
so
I'm
going
to
get
right
into
it.
Chief
segun.
If
you
can,
you
have
the
floor
and
we're
going
to
go
from
you
to
the
chairwoman
and
to
the
lieutenant.
F
Good
morning
good
morning,
thank
you
very
much.
Mr
chair,
Mr,
President,
councilor
Coletta,
the
other
sponsors
of
this
particular
legislation
and
or
hearing
order
and
the
rest
of
your
Council
colleagues.
I,
want
to
thank
you
for
creating
this
space
for
us
to
not
only
share
how
serious
we
take
this
issue,
but
most
mostly
to
hear
from
others
on
the
impact
this
is
having
on
them
and
recommendations
that
we
can
take
to
heart
to
implement
as
quickly
as
possible.
F
It
was
stated
earlier
about
one
of
the
positions
that
we're
hiring
for
the
director
of
strategic
initiatives
and
one
of
their
one
of
the
first
pieces
of
their
portfolio
will
be
the
late
night,
which
is
how
they've
been
dubbed
the
late
nights
are,
unfortunately
for
them.
But
you
know
at
the
end
of
the
day
that
will
be,
you
know,
part
of
their
portfolio
and
if
we
are
what
we
want
to
be
serious
about
downtown,
as
was
reported
this
week
of
being
a
24-hour
location
in
the
city.
F
At
the
same
time,
our
office
is
committed
to
not
just
talking
about
this,
but
supporting
financially,
and
so
we
have
found,
after
looking
through
our
own
budget
and
Economic
Opportunity
and
inclusion,
finding
some
dollars
to
be
able
to
support
venues
who
may
not
be
able
to
afford
the
coverings
for
cups
or
other
items
that
we
can
purchase
to
make
sure
that
patrons
are
kept
safe
when
they
are
enjoying
the
item.
You
know
items
that
they're
purchasing
and
these
different
venues.
F
These
are
a
couple
of
the
things
that
we're
doing
and
working
on,
but
of
course
we
want
to
make
sure
we're
doing
everything
we
can
be
doing
to
keep
people
safe
and
feeling
as
if
they
can
enjoy
the
night
without
without
these
incidents,
and
so
I'll
be
here
for
the
whole
hearing
to
not
just
for
this
panel,
but
to
hear
what
others
have
to
say
on
this,
so
that
we
can
take
that
information
back
to
our
side.
Talk
about
it
amongst
ourselves
and
bring
into
our
conversation
next
week.
B
G
Good
morning,
once
again,
thank
you
for
for
hosting
this
meeting
I'm
just
going
to
briefly
introduce
myself.
My
name
is
lieuten
detective
Rich,
Driscoll
I
work
in
the
Family
Justice
at
Center.
I
represent
yeah
sexual
assault
unit,
human
children,
internet
crimes
against
children,
and
then
we
also
have
a
a
Cold
Case
initiative.
Well,
under
a
sake,
Grant
I
just
want
to
just
dive
right
into
the
topic
and
and
just
Echo
the
the
comments
I
know
Coletta.
She
mentioned
that
I.
Think
we
want
to
do.
G
G
So
we're
aware
of
about
73
reports
where
a
victim
or
witness
alleges
a
drink,
spiking
occurred
or
fears
that
one
occurs
of
those
73
reports
in
2022.
Three
were
reported
to
have
resulted
in
a
positive
drug
test
for
opioids
and
then
a
fourth
was
reportedly
the
result
of
an
unknown
date.
Rape,
right
with
that
said,
there's
no
denying
that
an
issue
does
exist
and
what
we're
seeing
is
is
two
main
domains
where
it's
occurring
the
license
premise
which
which
we're
speaking
of
here
and
on
college
campuses
on
the
party
scene.
G
There
are
actually
two
separate
issues
as
well.
What
we've
seen
in
our
investigations
with
the
sexual
assault
unit,
including
a
Cold
Case
investigation
and
some
other
issues
of
of
a
of
a
concoction,
called
lean
on
the
college
campuses,
which
is
basically
a
mixture
of
Sprite,
Jolly,
Rancher
and
cough
syrup
containing
codeine
and
promethazide.
G
That's
one
domain
and
then
the
other
domain
is
obviously
the
license
premises.
The
bars
and
things
like
that
and
those
types
of
places
where
alcohol
is
served
just
to
go
in
terms
of
how
we
view
some
strategies
or
that
we're
we're
kind
of
seeing
and
things
that
might
be
successful
is
is
Target
hardening
and
Target.
Hardening
is,
is
a
the
technique
mostly
used
for
you
know,
taking
making
your
home
and
burglary
proof
or
things
like
that.
G
But
if
we
take
the
receptacles
themselves
and
and
have
some
strategies
to
to
guard
the
receptacle
and
and
watch
them
from
from
potentially
being
spiked,
I
think
that
would
we
think
that
would
be
a
very,
very
helpful
strategy.
Additionally,
having
a
buyer
buddy
or
a
buddy
with
you,
most
people
don't
go
out
by
themselves.
So
if
you
have
someone
that
might
be
able
to,
you
know
keep
an
eye
on
you,
and
potentially
it
might
be
a
situation
where
they,
you
know,
say
Hey.
You
know
you've
overindulged
a
little
bit.
G
Maybe
you
know
just
watch
yourself
have
a
water
or
whatever
else.
Additionally,
to
that
with
respect
to
the
college
party
scene,
what
we
think
it
is
is,
mostly,
you
know,
awareness
and
observations.
I.
Last
week
we
met
with
not
last
week,
I'm.
Sorry.
Last
month
we
met
with
an
organization
called
Basin.
G
Commissioner
Cox
really
stresses
the
importance
of
community
policing
Even
in
our
domain
of
of
the
investigative
services
and
traditionally,
in
the
past,
the
Investigative
Services
really
haven't
had
a
community
policing
aspect
to
it.
But
we've
tried
to
embrace
that,
especially
here
with
fault
and
some
of
the
other
divisions.
G
G
In
addition
to
that,
with
speaking
about
the
licensed
premise,
one
observation
and
just
discussions
around
with
my
superiors
and
and
police
officers
in
general
is
we
think
there
might
be
a
reluctance
to
report
from
a
lot
of
license
prems.
So
maybe
the
consideration
of
like
a
Good
Samaritan
exception
for
reporting
of
drink
spiking,
so
that
the
licensed
premises
and
the
bars
are
not
afraid
to
speak
up
being
you
know
sanctioned
for
over
serving.
G
May
assist
with
getting
more
and
more
reporting
out
and
then
partnering
with
them
with
the
various
Target
hardening
aspects
that
we
talked
about
with
with
the
drink,
and
you
know
possibly
institution
of
more
video
cameras
around
the
bar
and
on
the
bar
I
know
that
you
know
certain
places
do
that
to
focus
on
specific
where
the
Drake
is
poured,
so
it
can
leave
a
person.
It
also
assists
greatly
in
our
investigations.
G
After
the
fact,
when
we're
trying
to
determine
what
exactly
may
or
may
not
have
occurred
and
a
lot
of
times,
it
can
provide
closure
for
some
people
who
just
don't
know
what
occurred,
and
sometimes
we
can
come
back
to
them
and
say
you
had
x
amount
of
drinks.
Do
you
think
you
know
it
possibly
could
have
been
an
overindulgence
issue
or
something
like
that
and
I'm
speaking
to
when
there's
just
a
a
report
of
someone
that
says:
I
I,
don't
know
what
happened.
G
The
next
thing
I
know:
I
woke
up
they're,
not
reporting
any
additional
crime.
Obviously,
if
it's
a
Survivor
issue
or
an
issue
with
it's
dealt
with
completely
and
totally
different,
I
think
that's
about
all
I
have
I
just
wanted
to
once
again
thank
you
and
on
behalf
of
superintendently
and
and
everyone
at
bis,
where
we're
willing
and
able
and
helpful
to
do
whatever
it
takes
to
assist
in
this
issue
and
once
again
thanks
for
bringing
the
the
issue
to
light.
Thank
you
thank.
B
You
lieutenant
detective
Drisco.
We've
also
been
rejoined
by
our
colleague
city
council.
Liz
Braden
I
also
see
that
our
colleague
city
council,
Julie
Mahia,
is
joined
and
it's
and
I
want
to
recognize
Geo
women,
Kathleen,
Joyce
and
Kathleen.
It's
the
chief
sort
of
touched
on,
obviously
in
Lieutenant,
detective
Justin
as
well.
In
the
past,
our
city
oftentimes,
would
punish
establishments
for
basically
giving
that
information
anytime.
There
was
an
incident
that
could
be
over
serving
it
could
be
intoxicated
person,
it
could
be
a
fight
and
an
establishment.
B
It
would
trigger
an
automatic
violation
and
I
have
to
say
you've
done
great
work
as
the
chairwoman
and
you
put
a
focus
on
see
something
say
something,
and
then
you
will
do
an
analysis,
obviously,
with
the
help
of
the
Boston
Police
Department,
to
determine
whether
it's
a
sort
of
a
habitual,
chronic
type
of
thing
or
but
you
always
encourage
in
any
Forum
I've
been
with
you.
You've
always
encouraged
establishment
owners
to
come
forward
to
to
give
that
information
oftentimes
in
the
past.
B
They
used
to
push
the
problem
out
to
the
street
or
out
into
the
alley
or
the
drag.
You
know
everybody
and
push
them
out
the
back
and
they
just
wanted
to
get
them
off
the
premise
and
go
like
this,
because
a
premise
violation
means
you
have
to
hire
attorneys.
You
have
to
get
a
hearing,
you
face
a
suspension,
so
a
lot
of
times
they
would
sort
of
kind
of
covering
it
up
or
they
were
ignoring
that.
B
It
was
happening
you
and
your
and
credit
to
you
and
to
your
team
since
coming
in
as
a
chairwoman.
That
has
not
been
your
approach,
your
approaches
but
he'd
give
us.
The
information.
Tell
us
about
this.
We'll
work
with
you.
But
if
you
see
something
you
have
to
say
something
so
I
just
want
to
touch
him.
If
there's
a
detective
Driscoll
I
just
mentioned,
you
know,
promise
responsibility
here
and
the
chief
did
as
well
but
good
morning,
commissioner,
chairman
Jason
and
welcome-
and
you
have
the
four
for
your
comments.
H
Thank
you,
and
thanks
for
inviting
me
to
this
conversation
today
and
just
Echo
the
comments
that
Chief
you
know
who
started
out
the
morning
with
and
what
Lieutenant
detective
Driscoll
just
expanded
upon.
We
are
trying
to
educate,
patrons
and
license
premises
that
they
should
share
this
information.
We
can't
help
them
unless
we
have
the
information
we
have
held.
H
Eight
eight
hearings
before
the
licensing
board
on
alleged
drugging
incidents,
not
a
single
one
of
them
have
resulted
in
a
violation,
and
that
is
because
we
haven't
been
able
to
prove
that
someone
someone's
drink
has
been
drugged
by
somebody
or
or
that
the
license
premise
was
responsible
for
that.
Why
we
continue
to
hold
these
hearings
is
to
raise
public
awareness
and
to
cooperate
with
Boston
police
and
to
encourage
people
to
come
forward,
just
as
you
said,
counselor.
H
In
addition,
we've
had
two
Community
meetings:
we've
gone
out
to
East
Boston
and
we've
had
a
downtown
meeting
and
it
was
very
telling
in
East
Boston.
There
was
definitely
a
fear
to
call
the
police
if
they
thought
somebody
was
drugged
in
their
license
promise
because,
as
the
owners,
they
knew
that
they
hadn't
drugged.
The
person,
but
they
were
afraid
that
they
would
be
held
responsible,
so
we
explained
to
them.
Call
us
we'll
help
you
we
want
to
help
the
patron.
He
will
not
be
punished
for
this,
but
we
need
to.
H
We
need
to
explore
these
issues
publicly,
that
we
can
learn
from
them
and
we
could
help
solve
some
of
these
things.
It's
to
help
patrons
understand,
what's
going
to
happen
and
to
eliminate
the
fear
from
these
licensed
premises
that
they're
going
to
be
shut
down.
If
somebody
was
you
know,
found
to
have
been
in
their
license
premise
and
passed
out
or
later
on,
found
out
to
be
drugged.
Part
of
that
is
call
the
police.
We
tried
to
encourage
licensed
premises
if
you
suspect
that
somebody
who
has
only
had
one
drink.
This
is
what
we
hear.
H
They
only
had
one
drink
here
and
suddenly
they
fell
off
their
bar
stool
and
they
couldn't
walk.
We
said
call
the
police
get
help
for
that
person
and
let
us
help
and
let
the
license
premise
establish
whether
or
not
there
was
something
else
that
could
have
been
done.
We're
trying
to
be
a
partner,
we're
trying
to
cooperate.
We're
going
to
continue
to
raise
awareness,
we
put
out
our
own
advisories
a
couple
of
times.
H
We've
worked
with
BPD
one
of
the
frustrations
is
people
are
going
to
social
media
and
people
are
going
to
The
Press
instead
of
going
to
the
police.
So
we
can't
help
if
they
don't
involve
Us
in
the
process
and
I
know
we're
all
trying
to
work
together
on
this,
because
it
is
a
real
true
public
health
and
public
safety
issue.
H
So
we'll
continue
to
do
that.
Work
as
Chief
said
we're
going
to
be
pulling
together.
Some
of
the
big
stakeholders
overseeing
these
spikes
I'm
trying
to
learn
from
them
help
the
bigger
places,
help
the
smaller
places
and
try
to
reduce
this
across
the
city,
because
it's
a
very
scary
time
but
short
of
videos
of
someone
placing
a
substance
into
a
drink.
That's
that
drink
being
tested
and
that
person
going
to
the
hospitals
and
getting
tested.
We
wouldn't
be
able
to
find
liability
on
the
part
of
the
license.
H
Promise
and
one
thing
that
I
know
Boston
place
has
done
downtown.
Is
they've
worked
with
the
emergency
room
Personnel
to
encourage
the
emergency
room
Personnel
to
test
people
when
they
present
in
the
emergency
room?
That
wasn't
always
the
case.
So
we
would
hear
anecdotally
that
somebody
went
to
the
emergency
room,
but
a
drug
test
wasn't
done
so
I.
Think
we've
had
those
conversations.
H
Captain,
chocolo
downtown
has
led
the
charge
on
that
and
we're
just
continuing
to
brainstorm
ways.
People
feel
the
urgency
of
this
people
want
to
work
together
and
they
want
to
help
be
part
of
the
solution.
I've
noticed
in
the
last
six
months
we're
getting
calls
from
licensed
premises.
Police
haven't
showed
up
yet
to
write
us
up,
but
we
think
somebody
was
drugged
and
you
know
what
are
you
seeing?
What
are
you
hearing?
They
were
only
here
for
25
minutes.
H
B
Thank
you,
chairwoman
and
then
I'd
like
to
take
obviously
the
opportunity,
maybe
to
expand
the
circle
a
little
bit.
I
know
that
we've
got
Dr
Judy
Platt
we've
got
detective,
Lieutenant,
detective
Kelly,
O'connell
and
Ken
Ryan
from
bu,
and
would
you
hearing
obviously
from
the
first
panel
and
if
we
could
maybe
get
some
of
your
thoughts
before
we
get
into
questions
from
my
colleagues,
so
I'll
defer
it
to
either
Dr
Judy
Platt
detective
Lieutenant,
detective
Kelly
O'donnell
Ken
Ryan
from
from
Boston
University
as
to
who
would
like
to
weigh
in
here
yeah.
I
Well,
thank
you
very
much
Council
Flaherty
for
this
opportunity
for
holding
today's
hearing
and
want
to
on
behalf
of
Boston
University.
Obviously
thank
counselor,
Coletta
and
consulate
luigien
for
sponsoring
today's
hearing.
Just
for
the
record,
my
name
is
Ken
Ryan
I'm,
a
lifelong
resident
of
South
Boston
and
director
of
City
relations
in
the
office
of
government
and
Community
Affairs
I'm
joined
today
by
detective
Lieutenant
Kelly
O'connell
of
the
Boston
University
Police
Department,
as
well
as
Dr
Judy,
Platt,
Chief,
Health
officer
and
executive
director
of
student
health
Services.
Here
at
Boston
University.
I
We
obviously
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
discuss
Boston,
University's
prevention
and
respect
response
efforts
amid
this
recent
and
concerning
uptick,
particularly
ahead
of
the
Halloween
holiday
for
college
students
and
young
people
in
the
city
of
Boston,
and
really
to
discuss
ways
that
we
can
be
working
collaboratively
with
everyone
on
this
call.
Boston
police
departments
at
the
county,
PA's
office
and
our
Community
Partners
on
best
practices,
risk
mitigation
efforts
and
making
sure
that
we
really
place
the
blame
where,
where
it
should
be,
which
is
on
the
folks
that
are
committing
these
acts
against
innocent
people.
J
Great,
thank
you
Ken
and
thanks
to
everyone
for
having
higher
education
participate
in
this
meeting.
This
is
my
first
council
meeting
and
it's
quite
impressive,
just
to
hear
all
of
the
collective
work
that
is
being
done
around
the
city
in
support
of
this
concerning
increase
in
cases
that
we're
hearing
about
so
from
the
higher
ed
perspective.
Actually,
let
me
stop
from
Boston
University's
perspective.
J
The
challenge
is
as
detective
as
Lieutenant
detective
Driscoll
mentioned.
We
don't
know
the
extent
of
it
and
it's
not
something
that
we
typically
track.
So
a
student
may
come
to
the
primary
care
office
and
student
health
services
and
say
I
think
I
might
have
been
drugged
over
the
weekend.
A
conversation
ensues,
we
let
them
know
about
resources,
but
it's
not
codified
anywhere
in
the
medical
record.
J
J
Covet
has
really
strengthened
the
relationships
that
universities
and
colleges
have
across
Boston
and
we
belong
to
the
Boston
Consortium,
which
is
a
group
of
20
member
institutions,
not
all
of
whom
are
in
Boston,
but
many
of
whom
are
in
Boston
or
in
Cambridge
are
close.
By
and
after
we
receive
an
invitation
to
come.
Speak
at
this
council
meeting,
I
query
the
other
health
center
directors
on
what
they
are
seeing
and
for
those
who
were
able
to
respond.
J
The
extent
to
which
this
is
a
concern
on
our
campuses,
but
everyone
is
really
falling
aligned
with
something's
going
on
we're
hearing
about
this
and
that's
in
Boston,
but
it's
also
in
Worcester
at
Holy,
Cross
and
other
universities
that
are
sharing
and
collaborating
with
us
through
the
Boston
Consortium,
so
I
think
in
terms
of
what
we
are
doing,
certainly
at
bu
and
other
university
campuses.
We're
trying
to
raise
the
awareness
I
appreciate
that
many
members
of
the
council
meeting
today
have
talked
about
the
delicate
balance
between
raising
awareness
and
victim
or
Survivor.
J
J
Certainly,
we
have
done
a
number
of
campaigns
with
Boston
University
Police
Department,
with
our
marketing
and
Communications
Department
here
at
bu
to
raise
awareness
there
have
certainly
been
harm
reduction
techniques
mentioned,
leave
no
Terrier
behind
stay
with
a
buddy
know.
Your
plans
have
an
emergency
plan
in
place
for
you
and
members
of
your
groups,
but
I
think
we've
tried
to
place
greater
efforts,
emphasis
on
what
are
the
signs
and
symptoms
that
you
may
have
had
your
drink,
spiked
right
that
falling
off
the
stool.
J
You
know
after
one
drink
that
has
been
mentioned
on
that
feeling
of
paralysis
and
feeling
very
foggy,
despite
not
having
much
to
drink
right,
and
so
we
focus
on
that
piece
and
then
our
Good
Samaritan
policy,
which
again
is
not
something
unique
to
Boston
University
many
other
schools
have
this
because,
certainly
for
our
student
population,
not
getting
in
trouble
is
the
main
issue
that
they
are
concerned
with.
So
unless
our
students
feel
that
they
can
reach
out
and
say,
I'm
underage
I
was
drinking.
J
So
was
my
friend
here's
what
we
saw
we're
not
going
to
understand
how
big
of
a
problem
this
is
so
before
I
turn
things
over
to
detective
Lieutenant,
O'connell
I
would
just
say
that
one
of
the
questions
that
was
posed
as
part
of
what
higher
ed
can
think
about
in
terms
of
how
can
collaborations
across
the
city
occur.
I
also
pose
this
to
our
Boston,
Consortium
partners
and
I.
J
Think
the
the
resounding
response
is
one
partnering
together
to
raise
awareness,
to
provide
harm
reduction
in
a
non-victum
blaming
way
and
to
know
where
you
can
go
to
get
help,
making
sure
that
our
messaging
is
consistent
and
Trauma
informed
is
really
important
and
I
will
tell
you.
This
is
hard
to
do
perfectly.
Even
after
we've
put
out
messaging
we've
heard
reports,
you
know
we've
seen
remarks
on
Instagram.
Why?
J
Don't
you
tell
men
to
stop
raping
right
like
this
is
difficult
to
get
this
messaging
right,
but
we
are
certainly
trying
and
we
are
learning
from
experts
across
the
city
and
at
our
own
University.
The
other
piece
that
was
mentioned,
I
think
Lieutenant,
detective
Driscoll
mentioned
about
emergency
departments.
J
In
some
ways
we
feel
or
I
feel
like
this
is
a
little
bit
like
covid
for
higher
ed,
where
we
couldn't
have
testing
at
first.
So
we
didn't
know
how
much
of
a
problem
this
actually
was,
and
emergency
departments
are
flooded
with
other
illnesses
that
have
now
continued
to
creep
up
at
unseasonable
times.
So
we
call
to
almost
every
nearby
emergency
department
every
few
weeks
asking
are
you
providing
testing?
Is
that
testing
not
just
a
traditional
talk
screen,
but
is
it
actually
for
ketamine
and
rothanol
and
GHB
and
other?
J
J
That
is
a
hard
message
for
emergency
departments
who
are
inundated
with
other,
very
serious
concerns
that
are
coming
forward
to
figure
out
out
how
we
can
support
them
with
fast,
easy,
accurate
testing
and
although
urine
strips,
are
out
there
and
you
can
buy
them
on
Amazon
serum
testing.
As
far
as
I'm
aware
is
really
thought
to
be
the
more
accurate
form
of
testing
to
really
be
able
to
understand
if
someone
has
been
the
victim
of
drink
spiking.
K
It's
good
morning,
everyone
thank
you
for
inviting
me
today.
Just
to
give
you
some
background.
I
have
been
here
at
Boston
University
for
about
three
years,
probably
my
supervising
a
detective
investigative
unit
here
at
Boston,
University
Police,
but
prior
to
that
I
worked
with
the
Boston
Police
Department
for
33
years
and
13
of
those
years
were
at
the
Family
Justice
division
whereby
supervised
the
human
trafficking
unit,
as
well
as
worked
in
the
sexual
assault
unit
for
close
to
nine
years.
K
It's
it's
an
important,
important
issue
that
we're
seeing
in
here
over
the
past
year
and
a
half
working
with
them,
which
physical,
the
Boston
policing
in
his
unit
over
over
there
and
what
they
have
been
investigating
and
clearly
it
was
something
that
we
at
Washington
University
saw
that
and
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
trying
to
get
out.
You
are.
K
Like
student
health
services,
as
well
as
I,
saw
a
pair
on
within
the
campus
and
getting
information
information
out
to
our
students
in
terms
of
making
sure
they're
aware
of
of
this
issue
that
has
been
going
on
and
we've
done
that
through
our
social
media
formats
here
at
Boston,
University
we're
working
closely
with
the
thing
with,
for
some
reason,
other
municipalities
that
surround
video
as
well
as
a
university.
The
Basin
group
that
we
that
we
meet
monthly
on
we've
been
we've
been
speaking
on
these
and
exchanging
information
on
all
reports.
K
I
can
tell
you
that
the
Boston
University
I'll
report
to
about
a
low
number
of
a
period
of
three
years,
we've
probably
recording
number
of
eighth
potential.
You
know
spiking
or
dragging
emergence
that
we
have.
You
know
followed
up
on
those,
all
of
which
are
trying
to
improved
off
campus.
That
I
can
surely
tell
you
that
I'm
sure
there
are
a
little
recording
number
here
that
clearly
that
there's,
probably
some
that
are
going
on
on
campus
some
or
not
we're
not
aware
of
us.
D
K
You
know
calling
to
think
about
the
police
according
to
knowing
what
the
the
symptomology
about
the
loss
of
body,
control
of
the
paralysis
and
I'm
highlighting
what
the
symptoms
have
been
a
good
identify.
The
potentials
to
for
that
is
to
be
a
flow
about
competitive
unit
of
of
our
University,
whether
that
department-wide,
so
that
it
is
an
indication
that
there
is
simply
more
than
just
over
consumption
of
alcohol
response
to
see
that
victim.
Why
do
they
go
to
the
hospital
or
or
follow
up
with
them
if
they
choose
not
to
have
follow-ups.
K
K
And
also
identifying
with
the
response
to
the
ER.
Clearly,
it's
an
issue
with
the
ER
staff
they're,
not
the
investigators
that
this
isn't
their
monitor
for
following
up
on
investigations.
It's
a
it's
a
police
response,
so
I
think
that
is
important
to
play
as
well
with
with
Boston
police
in
terms
of
their
investigators
are
responding
to
any
identified.
K
I
will
tell
you
that
they
come
across
and
is
doing
follow
up
for
an
investigative
approach
and
that
enhances
the
medical
side
in
terms
of
what
we
can
ask
or
requests
for
testing
so
but
I
think
we're
in
the
beginning
stages
of
just
building
pieces
and
data
together
and
I
think
collectively,
as
we
go
forward,
because
making
sure
that
our
communication
across
different
companies
is
in
fact
communicating
right,
it's
a
little
difficult,
but
you
know
for
medical
side
in
terms
of
Heaven.
That's
a
another
issue
here,
but
I
think
markets
are
working.
K
B
Thank
you,
lieutenant
detective,
obviously
Dr
and
Platt
and
Kenny
Ryan,
and
also
thank
you
to
BU
for
taking
the
lead
among
colleges
and
universities.
So
it
was
a
great
that
Council
Coletta
reached
out
and
you
guys
answer
the
call
and
I
just
want
to
shift
to
the
last
panel
we
have
here.
Alana
Turco
is
here
Chief
strategy
officer
from
leader,
health
and
that'll
be
followed
by
Jessica
moranian.
B
L
Good
morning,
first,
thank
you
so
much
to
the
co-sponsors,
counselors,
Coletta
and
Lucian
for
your
commitment
to
this
work
and
drawing
attention
to
its
urgency.
By
calling
this
hearing
again
good
morning,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Alana
fairco
and
I
serve
as
the
chief
strategy
officer
at
Lita
Health,
a
female-led
Healthcare
company
created
by
and
for
survivors
of
sexual
assault.
I
myself
am
a
survivor.
We
serve
as
a
resource
to
survivors
to
support
their
healing
in
whatever
ways
are
most
meaningful
to
them.
Centering
survivors
and
taking
a
trauma-informed
approach.
L
We
partner
with
anchor
institutions
to
raise
awareness
and
acknowledge
societal
culture
of
sexual
violence
and
rape
culture,
as
Lieutenant
Driscoll
mentioned
earlier
in
the
hearing.
As
of
the
beginning
of
October,
Boston
police
have
reported
73
allegations
of
drug
drinks
this
year
and
also
as
Lieutenant
Driscoll
mentioned,
that
dark
figure
of
crime
is
so
true,
because
the
reality
is
that
the
number
of
people
who
consumed
contaminated
beverages
is
likely
far
higher,
since
we
know
that
many
survivors
are
hesitant
to
come
forward
due
to
feelings
of
Shame
fear
of
Retribution
trauma
and
a
variety
of
other
reasons.
L
So
it
is
critical
that
we're
doing
everything
in
our
power
to
mitigate
these
crimes,
contributing
to
the
ongoing
sexual
assault
epidemic
such
as
drink
spiking.
We
are
encouraged
to
hear
that
here
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
among
the
institutions
represented
here
today.
We
are
not
placing
the
blame
on
victims;
it
is
never
the
responsibility
of
anyone
to
prevent
their
own
assault
or
victimization.
L
The
most
important
first
step
is
education,
for
example,
adding
safety,
awareness,
signage
and
educating
bar
step
staff.
Staff
on
the
common
signs
of
contamination
would
be
a
good
first
step.
It
is
also
key
that
we
identify
preventative
measures
such
as
perhaps
lidded
cups
and
other
innovative
solutions.
L
L
Some
of
the
supports
that
Leta
can
provide
include,
with
in
partnership
with
others,
include
educational
workshops,
early
evidence,
collection,
kits,
STI
testing
and
emergency
contraception.
We
are
also
working
to
incorporate
toxicology
screening
into
our
suite
of
services.
We
can
also
install
physical
boxes
within
establishments
and
on
campuses
that
not
only
serve
as
point
of
access,
but
raise
awareness
in
the
community
that
drinks,
flaking
and
sexual
violence
are
not
tolerated
here.
L
Such
installations
can
also
make
reporting
easier
together,
I'm
confident
that
we
can
identify
solutions
to
ensure
that
Boston
venues
are
safe
spaces
for
everyone.
It's
only
through
discussing
these
issues
and
bringing
them
to
the
Forefront
that
we're
able
to
make
concrete
progress
towards
prevention.
Thank
you.
B
M
Thank
you
so
much
Council
Flaherty
for
members
of
the
city,
council,
Boston
police
and
the
other
agencies
and
Advocates
this
morning
particularly
happy
to
see
such
a
strong
showing
from
bu
my
alma
mater.
My
name
is
David
Rini
I
work
with
the
Boston
area,
Rape
Crisis,
Center
or
bark.
For
short,
thank
you,
councilor
lujin,
for
for
mentioning
our
hotline
earlier
and
the
resources
that
we
provide
for
folks
bark
is
our
our
local
Regional
Rape
Crisis
Center.
Our
mission
is
to
end
the
sexual
violence
through
healing
and
social
change.
M
We've
been
supporting
survivors
in
the
Greater
Boston
area
of
sexual
violence
in
their
families,
since
1973
all
of
the
services
that
we
provide
to
folks
are
free
and
confidential,
and
we
know
how
important
that
confidentiality
can
be
at
times
for.
For
the
folks,
we
work
with
people
looking
for
more
information
about
the
types
of
services
that
Bart
can
offer,
certainly
can
check
out
our
website
barcc.org
or
call
the
24-hour
hotline.
I
wish
the
counselor
mentioned
before
I'll
just
mention
it
one
more
time
here.
M
1-800-841-8371
one
particular
note
in
terms
of
some
of
the
services
that
provides
that
may
be
relevant
for
this
conversation.
Bark
is
also
the
the
agency
that
runs
the
Statewide
access
to
forensics
information
line,
which
is
the
special
hotline
that
survivors
can
contact
to
get
information
about
the
results
of
their
sexual
assault,
evidence,
collection,
kit
and
also
some
of
the
toxicology
kits
that
the
emergency
rooms
can
can
do
with
survivors
around
the
area
and
that
line
May
provide
some
some
important
information
for
folks
who
decide
to
go
to
the
hospital.
M
There
are
sort
of
two
issues
that
we
think
are
really
of
deep
importance.
In
this
conversation,
the
first
obviously
coming
from
bark
is
what
kind
of
support
folks
who
have
been
affected
by
contaminated
beverages
can
access,
especially
if
that
experience
is
Then,
followed
by
some
form
of
sexual
violence.
Mark
provides
a
set
of
support
services,
including
in
these
cases,
accompaniment
to
local
emergency
rooms
for
survivors
who
decide
to
go
for
an
Evidence
collection
kit.
M
So
that
may
be
an
option
to
get
some
additional
voices
as
well,
but
considering
sort
of
what
the
connections
are
between
the
various
organizations
that
may
work
with
a
Survivor
who's
been
affected
by
contaminated
beverage
and
where
are
they
being
directed
and
connected
to?
Are
they
able
to
access,
for
example,
Bark's
hotline
or
some
other
form
of
support
line?
Are
they
able
to
access,
follow,
counseling
and
support?
M
Are
they
able
to
get
access
to
a
hospital
there's,
a
time
frame
in
which
folks
can
usually
get
to
a
hospital
for
one
of
those
evidence,
collection
kits
if
they
decide
to
do
so?
Are
they
in
a
space
where
they're
able
to
connect
with
other
agencies
or
entities
that
will
provide
them
with
that
information?
Mark
is
always
happy
to
do
that
sort
of
thing,
but
not
everyone
knows,
spark
exists
or
has
access
to
our
our
resources
or
our
hotline.
If
they
aren't
aware
that
bark
is
out
there.
M
So
that's
one
issue
is
what
sort
of
support
is
available
for
folks
after
they've
been
affected?
Are
we
ensuring
that
support
is
trauma,
informed
and
comprehensive,
and
then
the
second
question
is
what
sorts
of
tools
are
available
for
Effective
prevention
bark
has
worked
at
times
in
the
past,
with
our
licensed
establishments,
bartenders
wait
staff
to
do
bystander
training
so
that
we
can
get
staff
in
those
agencies
or
in
those
establishments
better
equipped
and
more
comfortable
with
the
of
intervening
before
something
happens.
M
Obviously,
that's
putting
a
lot
of
onus
on
the
staff
in
those
in
those
entities,
but
there
are
some
promising
practices
as
far
as
doing
bystander,
training
and
intervention
training
there
and
there
may
be
some
room,
especially
if
the
chief
is
going
to
be
pulling
together
a
task
force
or
a
working
group.
To
think
about
what
some
of
those
trainings
might
look
like
in
my
colleague,
Casey
Corcoran,
it
was
originally
slated
to
speak
today
and,
unfortunately,
is
out
of
state
traveling
as
our
senior
director
of
community
outreach
awareness
and
Prevention
Services.
M
Finally,
to
conclude
this
morning,
bark
doesn't
have
any
sort
of
data
or
additional
information
about
the
prevalence
of
contaminated
beverages
beyond
what
Lieutenant
detective
Driscoll
provided
survivors
don't
have
to
disclose
to
us
if
that's
something
that
they've
experienced
in
order
to
access
our
services
or
in
order
to
connect
with
us
anecdotally.
We
know,
certainly
at
the
beginning
of
the
year,
at
the
beginning
of
the
Academic
Year.
M
We
are
happy
to
be
partners
with
the
city
and
other
agencies
ongoing
to
make
sure
that
survivors
have
the
support
they
need
and
that
whatever
sort
of
prevention
efforts,
Mark
may
be
able
to
assist
with
we
can
assist
with,
but
our
mean
for
us
is
to
ensure
that
survivors
have
the
support
they
need
and
that
they
get
the
backup
and
support,
that's
that
they
deserve
after
an
assault.
Thank
you
for
having
me
this
morning.
B
B
You
let
me
just
on
behalf
of
my
colleagues
on
behalf
of
this,
the
residents
of
Boston.
You
have
no
idea
how
many
people
you
helped
throughout
the
entire
pandemic.
You
worked
every
day,
including
weekends.
We
talked
all
the
time
my
staff
was
coordinating
with
you
and
your
team
great
to
meet
you.
Obviously
personally,
but
I'm
sitting
there
and
I've
looked
at
your
name
and
then
I
decided
to
say
is
this
the
same
person?
You
were
an
absolute
All-Star
throughout
the
entire
pandemic.
B
B
Wanted
to
to
let
I
wanted
that
had
to
be
known
today.
I
know
that
we're
going
a
little
off
track
here,
but
I
cannot
stress
enough
throughout
the
Italian
pandemic.
It
was
a
pleasure
to
work
with
you,
but
the
the
level
of
assistance
you
provided
residents
of
the
city
from
every
corner
was
absolutely
amazing
and
I.
B
Obviously,
let
folks
know
in
other
parts
of
city
and
state
government
the
great
work
you
do
so
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
did
not
highlight
that
before
we
continue
this
very
important
discussion,
but
it's
a
pleasure
to
meet
you
and
I
can't
can't
thank
you
enough
so,
and
you
have
the
full
of
Jessica
on
this
topic
and
MRA
is,
is
lucky
to
have
you.
Oh.
N
N
This
is
that
report,
just
so
everyone
knows,
and
if
anyone
needs
it,
we're
happy
happy
to
share
it.
In
this
report,
best
practices
for
security
planning,
intoxication
and
responses
to
crimes
in
serious
incidents
are
outlined,
among
other
best
practices.
Our
members
have
taken
these
best
practices
to
heart
and
are
tireless
in
their
safety
training
operations.
They
have
security
measures
in
place
to
prevent
the
contamination
of
Beverages
and
are
proactive
in
detecting
unusual
behavior.
In
order
to
prevent
an
insert
incident
from
occurring.
N
In
recent
discussions
with
operators,
security
staff,
it
has
been
made
clear
that
their
teams
investigate
allegations
of
improper
Behavior,
including
any
allegation
of
possible
during
contamination.
Additionally,
staff
are
trained
to
monitor
suspicious
behavior
and
characters
and
are
available
to
help
patrons
should
they
need
or
ask
for
assistance.
N
Additionally,
security
teams
do
pre-shift
meetings,
walking
through
policies
and
procedures
and
updating
staff
on
incidents
that
may
have
taken
place
recently.
Police
Community
relationships
are
very
important
in
prevention
as
well.
Operators
need
to
have
good
relations
with
law
enforcement.
Our
operators
strive
to
have
good
relations
and
include-
and
this
includes
timely
reporting
of
crimes.
If
one
were
to
happen,
management
is
also
prepared
to
assist
an
individual
that
is
reporting
a
crime
through
the
process
of
reporting
it
the
crime
to
authorities.
N
We
at
the
MRA
would
like
to
commend
the
work
that
the
city
is
already
doing
and
are
happy
to
partner
to
keep
guests
day.
Guests
safe
again,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
testify
before
you
today.
I
look
forward
to
continuing
to
listen
to
law
enforcement
on
ways
we
can
keep
everyone
safe
and
we
are
happy
to
continue
working
with
everyone.
Thank
you
very
much
for
this
opportunity.
B
A
What
is
happening
in
colleges
with
lean
or
scissor
I
think
is
what
it
is
and
then
what's
happening
in
licensed
premises
units.
So
this
is
the
more
traditional
I
guess
you
can
call
it.
The
lack
of
a
better
word
instance
of
contaminated
drinks
and
in
a
bit
I,
do
want
to
understand
from
Cheer
woman
Joyce
how
we
can
better
thread
the
needle,
so
we're
not
scaring
away
restaurants
from
reporting
and
how
that
will
materialize
in
some
of
the
the
processes
in
city
government.
G
Sure
so
so,
in
terms
of
how
the
reporting
happens,
if
someone
reports
that
they
feel
as
though
their
drink
was
spiked
or
you
know,
in
some
cases
you
have
someone
who
says
I
had
a
drink.
I
have
no
idea
what
happened
similar
to
what
a
lot
of
of
our
panelists
have
mentioned.
They
have.
They
just
have
no
like
no
respect,
yes,
bad
allegation.
It
would
likely
not
come
or
rise
to
the
level
of
of
my
unit
and
sexual
assaults.
So
so
there's
two
different
paths.
G
If
a
sexual
assault
is
mentioned
well,
it
you
know
is
is
made
whether
it's
you
know
to
one
end
or
the
other,
then
we
will
take.
The
initial
report
follow
our
sexual
assault
protocol,
which
you
know
the
responding
officer,
takes
a
very
minimal
facts
report
and
that
we
follow
up
with
the
investigation
and
and
stop
investigation
from
there.
So
with
respect
to
to
that,
we
that's
how
we
would
respond
to
it
if
it
is
just
a
drink
spiking
with
no
other
accusations
attached
to
it.
G
The
district
detectives
would
follow
up
on
that,
like
they
would,
with
a
burglary
or
any
type
of
District
level
offense
with
respect
to
some
of
the
suggestions
or
issues
with
better
reporting
and
the
trends
that
we're
seeing
of
check
boxes
on
our
Mark
43,
which
is
our
court
ready.
We
have
all
types
of
you
know
collate
information
into
Trends,
but
we
don't
have
one
for
drug
facilitated
sexual
assaults.
We
don't
have
one
for
drink,
spiking
accusations
and
we
don't
have
a
reporting
mechanism
that
does
it.
You
know
automatically.
G
Essentially
what
we've
been
doing-
and
you
know
this-
is
this
really
to
the
commissioner
and
to
the
and
to
superintendent,
cologne
and
and
bis
they've
they've
just
tried
to
to
coordinate
with
analysts
from
The
Brick
to
keep
a
running
total
of
these
types
of
incidents
right
now,
as
as
a
means
of
tracking
and
as
a
means
of
trying
to
recognize
if
a
pattern
is
happening
so
as
of
right
now
we
don't
have
an
official
type
of
mechanism
and
the
importance
of
the
mechanism
is
is
that
it
exists.

G
G
Additionally
and
I
I
think
you
know,
Judy
plant
touched
on
it.
Kelly
touched
on
it,
Kathleen
Joyce
Josh
on
it
the
there
is
a
difference
between
being
drunk
and
drugged,
so
how
we
can
get
the
data
and
the
information
to
kind
of
peek
through.
Without
you
know,
the
help
of
electronic
mechanisms
and
whatnot
is
is
better
reporting
from
from
police
officers.
G
So
if
you
look
at
drug
arrests
or
whatever,
if
you
took
a
drug
arrest
in
1980-
and
you
would
see
these
small
reports
with
very
very
little
detail-
you
know
rightfully
so
that
judges
and
motions
and
kudos
to
you
know
defense
attorneys
and
everyone
in
between
they
said
we
need
more
information
if
you're
going
to
you
know,
take
someone's
forth
and
then
right.
So
if
you're
going
to
do
something
like
that,
so
the
same,
so
what
happened?
Was
they
needed
more
detail?
G
G
You
know
alcohol
consumption
there
really
are
like
two
different
tracks
and
that
that
can
really
help
someone
actually
clarify
the
issue
itself.
You
know
to
just
say,
because
we've
had
in
some
of
the
investigations
that
we've
had
we've
had.
You
know,
speaking
to
someone
and
they
say:
wow
I
didn't
realize
I
drank
as
much
as
I
did.
You
know,
and
that's
that
happens
too,
but
I
think
knowing
it
is,
is
really
really
important
for
survivors.
It
helps
them
kind
of
own
their
situation.
And
that's
you
know.
A
Really
quick
I
just
want
to
be
respectful
to
my
colleagues
if
I
could
just
follow
up
on
something
that
you
just
said.
So
what
I'm
hearing
in
terms
of
policy
opportunities
or
some
of
the
low
hanging
fruit
that
we
can
Implement
now
and
I,
don't
know
if
there
has
been
a
commitment
from
commissioner
Cox
or
or
the
brick,
but
there
really
needs
to
be
a
better
way
to
so,
first
of
all,
better
training
for
our
police
officers
to
identify
the
difference
between
drug
facilitated
incidents
versus
somebody
just
being
drunk.
A
A
Thank
you
and
I
do
know
that
I
would
like
to
better
understand
where
this
is
happening.
So
if
there
can
be
something
submitted
to
the
committee
through
the
chair,
if
I
could
request
that
that
information
of
where
a
majority
of
these
incidents
are
incidents
are
being
reported,
I
would
appreciate
that.
G
Yeah
sure
absolutely
the
73
that
I
mentioned
those
were
were
for
for
the
license
premise.
There
are
other
claims
of
ones
such
as
like
residences
and
things
like
that,
and
that's
the
second
domain
you
were
talking
about
with.
As
far
as
you
know,
the
college
at
the
scene
of
the
college
already
seen
or
the
college
18
I'm
not
saying
everyone
goes,
it's
it's
attending
a
college
or
university.
Thank.
H
You
I'm
sorry
just
to
piggyback
on
that.
So
he's
talking
about
73
reports.
I've
only
had
eight
hearings,
so
it
sometimes
is
a
lag
between
the
detective
finishing
their
work
and
it
being
assigned
to
the
licensed
premise
unit
to
then
issue
a
license.
Permit
file
relation
to
then
have
a
hearing,
so
we
sometimes
have
to
let
the
detectives
finish
their
process
there's
a
criminal
investigation
before
they
bring
it
before
the
board
to
see
if
there's
responsibility
in
the
part
of
the
bar,
if
that
makes
sense
right.
A
And
I
did
hear
that
that
there
was
a
barrier
of
a
lack
of
proof
right,
so
testing
kits
and
having
access
to
immediate
toxicology
reports
is
a
huge
thing
both
to
hospitals
and
to
restaurants.
So
that's
something
that
I
just
want
to
want
to
call
out,
as
as
a
strategy
to
try
to
expedite
these
investigations
and
providing
new
chairwoman
Kathleen
with
some
some
proof
or
or
just
as
a
way
to
get
the
ball
rolling
and
I.
A
A
H
H
I
think
it
would
be
great
to
get
some
of
the
larger
the
license
premises
together
with
some
of
the
smaller
license
premises,
to
identify
best
practices
and
things
to
look
for
I.
Think
a
big
thing
is
when
this
happens
in
real
time.
If
you're
with
your
friend
I
think,
your
first
reaction
is
to
help
that
friend
get
State
go
to
a
safe
place.
It
isn't
necessarily,
let
me
grab
the
manager
in
Boston
police,
so
we're
trying
to
alert
and
train
and
identify
those
signs
within
the
licensed
pharmacist.
H
H
I
think
you'll
find
that
the
Faneuil
Hall
restaurants
and
bars
they
are
on
top
of
this.
They
they
communicate
with
each
other
from
one
license
premise
to
the
other.
If
they,
you
know,
are
concerned
about
something
they
share
information
and
we're
trying
to
encourage
those
same
sorts
of
Communications
in
the
different
neighborhoods
in
East
Boston
and
South
Boston,
you
know
what
are
you
looking
for?
Is
there
somebody
that
you're
suspicious
of
you
know,
keep
those
lines
of
communication
open
and
from
what
I
hear
that
that
does
happen?.
A
Do
you
think
that,
within
this
commitment
there
could
be-
or
there
is
a
willingness
to
provide-
maybe
technical
assistance
for
camera
installations
along
our
bars
or
is
it?
Would
it
just
be
limited
to
things
like
scrunchies
that
are
also
cup
covers
and
and
some
preventative
small
preventative
measures
like
that?
But
would
there
be
an
openness
to
explore
that
with
restaurants
through
this
task
force.
F
F
So
I
I
just
mentioned
the
lids
as
one
example,
but
for
sure
you
know
we'll
be
able
to
help
in
terms
of
cameras,
technical
assistance,
as
you
mentioned,
this
is
also
a
supply
diversity,
I
hate
to
use
the
word
opportunity,
but
we
also
want
to
make
sure
that
other
local
companies
are
able
to
participate
in
helping
keep
Boston
residents
safe.
Thank.
B
You
councilman
and
just
a
quick
follow-up
on
that
of
the
73
reported
cases
in
in
2022
and
I.
Don't
know
if
this
is
the
lieutenant
detective
driscollo
it's
a
gentleman
Joyce
were
there
any
repeat:
customers,
if
you
will
was
there
one
establishment
that
had
like
12
incidents
or
5
or
15
at
whatever
the
range
is,
but
any
sort
of
red
flags?
H
D
G
You
know
assistance
in
Narcan,
so
that
same
philosophy
exists
with
respect
to
what
we're
kind
of
talking
about
with
the
license
premise-
and
this
is
just
more
or
less
just
a
suggestion,
because
for
what
it's
worth
the
license
premise:
organization
of
the
Boston
Police
Department
and
Kathleen
Joyce,
they
do
a
fantastic
job.
They've
really
been
kind
of
pushing
us
on
this
as
well
like,
and
it's
been
a
push
and
pull
a
little
bit
like
really
really
communicating
and
really
really
recognizing
this
issue.
D
I
just
think
that
there,
if
there
are
ever
any
areas
right
like
regulation,
is
good
in
a
lot
of
instances,
but
if
there
are
times
if
we
learn
that
there
are
areas
where
we
can
be
maybe
like
help
solve
a
public
policy
Problem
by
peeling,
back
a
layer
of
Regulation
or
something
like
that,
I
think
it.
We
should
explore
it.
G
No
I
I
agree
I.
So
what
I
see
is
when
you
talk
to
Bar
managers
or
you
talk
to
bartenders
or
you
talk
to
anyone
in
the
in
the
industry.
You
know
they
are
reluctant
to
call
I
guess
you
know.
Sometimes
because
of
you
know
they
don't
want
to
go
through
the
process
of
getting
a
license
premise,
violation
and
having
to
go
to.
You
know,
go
to
court
for
it
and
potentially
face
a
fine.
So
you
know
as
Council
fire
already
mentioned.
G
You
know
what
a
lot
of
times
they'll
just
toss
them
out
the
back
door.
So
with
this
being
such
a
serious
issue
and
where
you
could
potentially
say,
oh
no,
you
should
almost
serve
this
Patron
versus
they
were
drugged.
They
have
a
legitimate
consideration
of
whether
or
not
to
report
in
their
mind
because
they
could
definitely
face
a
sanction
for
overserving.
So
that's
really
what
it
speaks
to
is.
Is
that
case
in
those
type
of
instances,
so
I
would
say.
G
D
And
I
guess
to
me
what
I
think
I
was
getting
at
and
I
think
that
does.
Is
that
doing
like
we're
thinking
about
potential
Solutions?
Do
we
need
to
like
change
something
that's
codified
or
is
it
like?
You
said?
Is
it
just
a
philosophy
in
these
one-off
instances
that
you
think
will
be
sort
of
like
more
effective
and
Catherine?
If
you
have
any
thoughts
too
feel
free
to
hop
in.
H
So
to
pick
it
back
on
the
lieutenant
detective
versus
talking
about,
if
someone,
if,
if
an
alleged
crime
has
occurred,
a
license
premise,
the
license
premise
unit
follows
up
and
writes
what
we
call
a
licensed
premise
incident
report:
we
don't
issue
monetary
fines.
There
are
no
fines,
we
have
what
we
call
Progressive
discipline
so
and
we
take
a
hard
look
at
that.
We
want
one
our
primary
goal
in
a
case
like
this
would
be
public
awareness
and
Public
Safety.
H
So
we
hold
these
hearings
in
many
for
many
times,
just
to
get
the
word
out
that
these
things
are
occurring
and
to
let
the
public
know
until
the
license
permits
know.
As
I
said,
you
had
eight
hearings
over
the
last
year.
Not
one
of
them
resulted
in
any
sort
of
progressive
discipline
because
we
did
not
find
responsibility
on
the
parliament
license.
Promise
two
happy
to
work
with
our
licensed
premise:
unit.
I
know
there
are
certain
rules,
Boston
police
rules.
H
As
far
as
who
can
write
up
a
licensed
premise,
incident
report
I
believe
it
has
to
be
a
detective
or
a
superior
officer.
So
if
someone
goes
to
a
local
police
department
on
a
night
that
they
think
they're
a
drugged,
you
can't
always
have
the
officer
Duty
that
night
go
and
write
the
police
report
out.
So
sometimes
there
is
a
process.
So
there
is
a
little
bit
of
distance
there
and
I'm
not
completely
conversant
in
the
Boston
police
rules.
But
that's
what
I
understand.
H
H
You'll
report
this
to
the
police,
because
it's
not
true,
we,
it
doesn't
cost
anything
to
appear
before
us
and
defend
yourself
before
the
board
and
we
use
it
as
a
tool
to
communicate
to
the
public
and
to
other
neighboring
license
premises
that
we're
seeing
these
issues
in
their
neighborhoods
and
we
work
really
hard
to
turn
those
types
of
hearings
into
informational,
Gathering,
Trend,
Gathering
and
to
get
the
and
we
found
that
every
licensed
premise.
They
are
scared.
They
come
for
us
to
go.
H
Oh,
it
wasn't
our
fault,
we
don't
have
any
proof
and
I
said,
look
we're
going
to
talk
about
it,
the
hearing
and
that's
what
the
opportunity
is
there
for
and
I
could
see.
If
a
smaller
restaurant
received
one
of
these
that
they
would
be
concerned,
they
would
be
held
responsible
for
someone
being
drugged,
but
we
talked
them
through
it.
We
manage
their
expectations,
they
could
be
part
of
the
process
and
part
of
the
solution
is
not
necessarily
seen
as
a
an
antagonistic
process.
D
H
Sorry,
sorry
about
that
I
have
a
delay
I
think,
but
we
did
learn
at
our
Citywide
meeting
as
some
of
the
downtown
Faneuil
Hall
bars
do
have
video
training
modules
that
they
I
think
maybe
participate
through
some
restaurants
association
that
train
staff
about
looking
for
these
signs.
I
know
K's
in
the
Hong
Kong.
Their
management
team
is
very
well
versed
in
this
types
of
things
and
we
learned
more
from
Bill,
Johnson
and
Cissy
case
and
I
ever
learned
about
this
issue.
Anyways
he's
about
two
or
three
steps
ahead
of
anyone.
H
D
Thank
you,
and
also
just
wanted
to
thank
Jessica
for
being
here,
I.
Think
it's
really
important
to
have
industry
as
part
of
this
conversation,
to
really
think
about
how
we
I
am
a
big
proponent.
I
want
to
see
Boston's
nightlife
I
want
us
to
I,
want
us
to
see
like
a
vibrant
fun,
inclusive
diversity
for
everyone.
I'm
really
excited
about
Chief
Ito
in
the
position
of
The
Nightlife
Czar.
D
If
I
could
have
that
job
as
well
as
being
a
city
council
I
would
do
that.
But
I
just
really
think
that
we
all
sort
of
need
to
like
play
a
role
here
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
find
ways
of
calling
in
I'm
a
call-in
instead
of
a
call
out,
especially
when
we
have
like
a
big
issue
that
we're
trying
to
solve
so
Jessica.
D
If
there
are
ways
that
we
can
be
more
thoughtful
when
it
comes
to
Bringing
In
A
lot
of
these
bars,
especially
around
college
campuses,
especially
in
the
Faneuil
Hall
area,
in
partnership
with
Bart
happy,
you
know,
maybe
we
do
like
a
an
awareness
campaign
day
where
we
bring
everyone
together.
I
think
that
could
be
great
and
then
my
last
question
is
actually
for
BPD
again.
D
G
We
do
have
our
community
engagement
office,
which
you
know
they're
pretty
good
with
with
engaging
you
know
with
with
people
on
on.
You
know
an
array
of
topics,
but
specifically
I,
don't
think
we
have
anything
specifically
dedicated
to
this.
You
know
we
take
it
on
a
case-by-case
basis
from
an
investigative
role.
D
Okay,
thank
you
to
me
when
I
think
of
community
engagement,
I,
think
of
like
an
other
efforts
that
the
city
or
BBD
needs
to
be
strengthening,
like
you
know,
like
you
talked
about
community
policing
to
me,
I
think
about
how
are
we
ensuring
that
we
are
putting
enough
information
out
there
so
that
folks
who
are
otherwise?
This
is
a
very
difficult
area
for
people
to
come
forward
and
feel
comfortable
speaking
and
so
I
think?
D
D
If,
if
we
decided
that's,
not
the
best
purview,
I
think
bark,
you
know,
I
know
that
bark
has
a
hotline
and-
and
that
obviously
gave
that
number
in
the
beginning
and
that's
a
helpful
resource
but
I'm
just
trying
to
be
for
us
to
be
more
intentional
about
the
resources
that
we
have
internally,
that
we
could
bring
to
bear.
So,
just
just
just
a
point
for
us
to
really
to
think
about
and
explore
foreign.
C
Oh,
we
really.
We
want
to
look
at
our
protocols
and
we
want
to
kind
of
think
about.
You
know
maybe
they're
not
on
the
train,
the
staff
vote
yet
and
they
could
get
on
it.
So
I'm,
just
thinking
about
whether
part
of
identifying
this
as
a
city
issue
is
saying
like
hey.
Do
you
think
if
you
think
you
might
have
experienced
this
in
the
city
of
Boston,
here's
a
brief
form
to
like
type
in
your
report
and
like.
C
Become
a
kind
of
actionable
legal
thing,
we
have
our
other
processes
for
that
that
people
can
pursue,
but
just
so
we're
like
collating
some
of
this
data,
because
I
remain
convinced
that,
like
any
establishment
that
finds
out
that
this
is
happening
on
any
kind
of
repeated
basis
is
going
to
want
to
solve
that
problem
and
I.
Just
think
that
if
Bad
actors
they
think
that
there's
a
place,
they
can
regularly
do
this
and
they
just
find
it
hardened.
C
O
H
F
You
know,
of
course,
after
like
recording
the
emergency
to
the
police,
but
as
a
way
to
kind
of
crowdsource
information
of
friends
or
others
that
are
in
these
chat
groups
are
seeing
more
of
these
things
being
reported
that
are
not
getting
to
the
police
that,
at
least
to
your
point,
we're
capturing
that
information,
but
using
the
phone
right
as
opposed
to
creating
a
different
form
that
might
be
on
boston.gov.
That
not
everyone
may
not
know
about
so
yeah
I'd
love
to
take
that
back
to
our
colleagues.
P
Right
I'll
just
have
a
do:
I
have
a
I,
don't
know
if
you
can
hear
using
my
background
as
we
are
here.
I
just
have
two
questions.
One
is
actually
a
question
and
the
other
one
is
a
consideration
for
us
to
to
to
have
as
we
I
love
public
hearings,
because
they
give
us
an
opportunity
to
bring
our
best
ideas
to
the
table
and
to
listen
to
each
other
and
figure
out
what
we
can
do
collaboratively.
P
So
I'll
start
with
just
a
quick
question.
If,
if
you
all,
if
anyone
could
tell
me
if
this
is
something
that
we're
seeing
widespread
across
the
city
or
if
it's
isolated
areas,
I
believe
it
might
be
an
isolated
in
areas
but
where
there's
a
lot
of
college
students
but
I'm
just
curious.
If
any
of
this
has
spilled
over
into
other
neighborhoods.
H
Yes,
I
have
heard
anecdotally
that
it
has
spilled
over
into
neighborhoods.
Hence
why
we
went
out
to
East
Boston
to
talk
to
the
licenses
there
at
the
request
of
Captain
bickerton,
and
we
have
also
seen
it
in
South.
Boston
I
have
heard
about
it
in
my
own
neighborhood
as
I
as
people
contact
me
so,
but
we
have
not
seen
them
appear
before
the
board,
necessarily
in
in
droves,
in
those
neighborhoods.
H
P
You
and
so
I
and
then
so
it
would
be
helpful,
as
we
continue
to
you
know,
provide
traction
to
this
to
if
there
are
things
that
we're
seeing
across
the
city
as
an
at
large
city
council,
however,
I
can
be
helpful.
Please
I'm
raising
my
hand
here,
Kathleen
put
me
to
work.
Let
me
know
how
I
can
be
helpful
in
any
in
any
capacity
and
I,
and
especially
in
regards
to
language
and
interpretation,
just
to
make
sure
that
you
know
there
are
a
lot
of
other.
P
H
P
P
So
if
there's
any
you
know,
public
awareness
message
or
or
anything
that
you
want
to
share
I
think
tapping
into
some
of
the
local
businesses
that
are
across
this
in
Boston,
where
people
frequent,
which
is
the
barbershops
the
nail
salons.
You
know
people
get
cute
before
they
go
out,
so
you
can
it's
it's
a
good
place
to
to.
L
P
I
say:
y'all:
lucky
I,
don't
have
I'm,
not
yelling
at
anybody
today,
I
don't
have
anything
to
say
or
anything
about
you
but
I'm
going
to
see
the
rest
of
my
time,
because
I
know
we
all
have
an
activity
at
12.
So
thank
you
so
much
and
if
anyone
has
any
comments,
questions
or
you
know
affirmations
for
the
comment
that
I
just
made
I'm
more
than
happy
to
listen.
If
not
no
worries.
Thank
you
so
much
well.
F
Counselor
here
this
is
shaguna
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
that
suggestion,
and
it's
duly
noted
so
certainly
on
our
end,
we
can
use
our
our
relationship
with
the
40
000
small
businesses
out
here
in
the
city,
to
get
this
information
out
to
them
through
all
the
various
channels
that
we
have
and
then
also
coordinate
with
the
main
streets
to
include
this
and
the
package
of
information
that
we
we
share
with
them
every
week.
So
you're
absolutely
right
and
highlighting
that.
P
Together,
thank
you.
You
gave
me
another
thing
to
say
so:
y'all
better
shut
me
up,
don't
talk
after
this
because
I'll,
but
one
more
thing
that
I
that
I
wanted
to
just
offer
to.
Is
that
even
looking
at
Department
s?
So
so
sometimes
we
just
focus
on
very
specific
departments,
but
you
know
there
are
other
City
departments
that
can
also
help
support
the
neighborhood
Liaisons.
You
know
we,
our
our
staff,
always
goes
to
civic
association
meetings,
so
these
are
spaces
and
places
where
we
can
also
disseminate
information.
P
B
Thank
you
very
much,
Council
Mejia
I
know
just
want
to
be
sensitive
of
everyone's
time
coming
up
on
the
two-hour
Mark
I
do
know
that
we
do
I
believe
we
have
some
public
testimony
if
I
could
just
ask
guests
just
to
stand
by
so
Megan
and
or
Christine.
If
we
can
facilitate
the
public
testimony
via
Zoom
now
would
be
the
time
to
do
that.
To
get
some
public
comments.
D
B
B
O
B
O
I
do
feel
that
the
club
I
do
feel
a
little
bit
pushed
to
the
curb
I
did,
thankfully,
have
friends
with
me:
I
don't
drink
a
lot,
I
hadn't
had
very
much
to
drink
and
the
things
that
I
think
that
we
need
is
that
there
are
no
clearly
defined
standardized
standardized
processes
and
protocols,
as
we've
kind
of
touched
on
today,
as
you've
touched
on.
Safety
needs
to
be
a
priority,
and
even
things
like
Signs
in
the
bathroom.
O
Well,
by
the
time
I
got
into
the
bathroom
I
was
screaming
and
throwing
up
and
unable
to
read
anything
and
stand.
We
need
standardized
processes
for
the
restaurants
and
bars
about
how
to
deal
with
things
in
a
way
that
they
don't.
They
aren't
afraid
for
liability,
because
that's
the
feeling
I
got
I
was
pushed
to
the
curb
I
did
have
people
take
care
of
me,
but
I.
They
really
were
extremely
unresponsive.
Following
that
and
my
reach
out
to
them
was,
do
you
have
a
security
cameras
and
in
the
name
of
community,
let's
work
together?
O
Not
this
is
your
fault.
We,
as
we
have
rape,
kids
in
hospitals,
we
need
roofie
kits
I
did
go
to
Mass
General.
They
took
care
of
my
symptoms,
I'm
so
thankful,
but
they,
my
husband,
insisted
they
take
a
urine
sample
which
is
now
with
the
police.
I'm
told
it
will
be
two
to
three
months
before
we
get
any
response
from
that
and
they
did
not
take
a
blood
test.
They
said
they
don't
so
there's
no
roofie
processes
in
hospitals.
O
I
would
say
also
that
my
some
of
my
ideas,
which
expand
upon
what
you
have
wonderfully
suggested,
is
first
of
all
by
the
numbers.
You
said:
there's
75
reports,
I
bet
they're
75
a
day,
even
the
night.
I
was
there
I'm
a
musician
and
I
was
told
there
are
a
few
other
people
who
couldn't
walk
out
on
their
own
since
I
have
I
was
on
channel
five
I've
been
reaching
out
to
all
my
musician
friends,
I'm,
a
performer
and
and
warning
all
my
friends.
O
I
have
had
so
many
people
told
me
they
have
been
Roofing,
not
a
single
person
beside
myself
ever
recorded
it,
and
some
of
them
broke
my
heart.
They
were
raped
many
years
ago
and
never
spoke
up,
never
told
their
Partners
until
they
told
me
so
I
speak
for
them
today.
So
here
are
my
practical
ideas.
We
all
know
this
is
a
problem.
One
thing
is
regarding
the
drink:
Lids,
it's
the
place
that
I
was
at
they're,
all
plastic
cups.
That's
great!
O
O
If
you
think
you've
been
Roofing,
let's
do
three
or
four
things
on
a
business
card
that
does
not
cost
a
lot
of
money
so
that
someone
has
it
in
their
pocket.
I
am
a
strong
woman
and
I'm
trying
to
get
PTSD
therapy,
and
it
takes
a
lot
of
energy
for
me
to
write
this
and
so
make
it
easy
for
people
to
to
report
things
by
having
business
cards
throughout
the
state,
and
we
need
to
work
together
as
a
community
I.
Would
there
aren't
enough
public
service
announcements
on
the
television?
O
And
these
are
you
know,
going
with
a
buddy
doesn't
always
help,
because
many
of
the
people
are
with
someone
else
and
two
of
them
get
roofied
I
love
the
Good
Samaritan
suggestion,
because
I
think
that
the
place
that
I
was
and
as
I
said,
I'm
56
I
was
the
average
age
they
just
I
could
tell.
They
just
have
been
very
unresponsive,
which
has
been
upsetting
just
so
you
know,
there's
a
Facebook
group
with
7
500
members,
it's
five
months
old,
only
about
Roofing
in
Boston
area
establishments.
O
We
need
to
all
work
together
and
also
one
more
thing
is
I.
Am
somebody
I
would
be
willing
to
go
one
night
a
month
as
a
volunteer
if
we
could
have
a
simple
training
program
where
I
just
go
obviously
no
drink
and
look
around
and
keep
my
eye,
let's
get
the
community
involved.
That
does
not.
That
empowers
me
and
heals
me
and
I'm
telling
you.
There
are
7
500
people
on
this
group
who
want
to
help,
and
they
don't
know
how
and
I'm
speaking
for
all
of
them.
Thank
you.
O
B
Q
Thank
you,
I'm
Jamie,
McLaughlin
and
I
am
a
former
Boston
resident
I'm.
Actually
still
a
Cambridge
resident
and
I
speak
to
you
today
from
Las
Vegas,
Nevada,
I
I'm,
a
human
trafficking,
Survivor
and
I
was
I,
wasn't
just
trafficked
by
Jeffrey
Epstein,
but
I
identify
as
an
Epstein
Survivor
Jeffrey
Epstein
lived
across
the
street
from
Bill
Cosby
in
New
York
City
Bill
Cosby
had
a
house
in
western
Mass.
Q
Elaine
Maxwell
was
arrested
in
New
Hampshire,
but
before
she
was
arrested,
New
Hampshire,
she
was
in
Massachusetts,
so
I've
heard
a
lot
about
having
Jeffrey
Epstein's
Client
List
released
to
the
public.
But
what
I'm
more
concerned
with
is
his
recruiters
are
still
in
Boston
and
they're
still
trafficking
human
beings.
Q
One
time
I
went
to
Mount
Auburn
Hospital
in
2019.
The
nurse
took.
My
poll
said
that
I
was
dead
and
offered
to
take
me
to
the
morgue
and
laughed
I
was
sent
to
Bill,
even
though
I
had
MassHealth
and
I.
Don't
even
think
they
did
a
toxicity
when
Jeffrey
Epstein
was
getting
was
being
indicted
and
the
FBI
was
doing
a
lot
of
the
investigations
they
they
cleaned
house.
They
murdered
a
lot
of
people
and
in
Boston
for
a
long
time.
Q
All
you
really
had
to
do
was
leave
a
syringe
at
the
sea,
and
then
there
was
no
autopsy.
There's
no
toxicology
report,
there's
no
rape
kit,
the
per
the
woman's
just
dead,
their
students
just
dead
and
there's
no
investigation.
So
for
one
thing,
when
we
find
the
bodies
of
Overdose
victims,
we
should
treat
them
with
more
care.
We
should
do
more
autopsies,
we
should
do
more
raid
kits.
We
have
a.
Q
We
have
an
opportunity
in
Boston
to
to
lead
a
national
example
by
refining
the
rate
kit
process,
because
you
have
the
medical
facilities
by
doing
those
talk
screens
by
by
establishing
an
actual
panel
and
a
method
of
of
Performing
them
that
isn't
invasive,
that
women
feel
safe.
Students
feel
safe
going
to
the
hospital
and
they're
not
laughed
at
and
not
not
asked.
If
I
wanted
yeah,
they
were
going
to
take
me
to
the
morgue
like
I.
Q
Q
Q
So
another
thing
that's
happening
on
the
border
is
that
they
have
a
spyware
Pegasus,
but
that
was
two
years
ago.
They
have
updated
spyware,
so
human
traffickers
are
able
to
hack
your
phone,
your
bank
account
and
your
body.
They
hack
your
body
a
lot
of
times
they're
they
hunt
they
hunt
on
college
campuses.
They
hunt
in
high
schools,
they
hunt
in
bars.
They
hunt
all
over
a
lot
of
times.
The
victims
are
chosen
beforehand,
they're,
stalked,
they're,
gang
stocked
and
the
use
of
technology
is
a
huge
tool
for
human
traffickers.
Q
And
another
thing
is
that
I
believe
that
the
fusion
centers
in
New
England
are
compromised
and
the
Boston
city
council
needs
to
establish
a
better
relationship
with
the
FBI,
because
the
FBI
just
operates
on
their
own
terms
and
so
many
of
this
human
trafficking
issues.
So
many
of
these
trafficking
issues
are
multi-jurisdiction,
so
it's
not
just
a
Boston
problem,
but
it
is
a
huge
Boston
problem
in
the
Cradle
of
Liberty.
B
R
My
testimony
has
to
do
with
my
own
case
of
basically
being
drugged
this
year
and
I
also
have
a
roommate
who
was
also
drunk
this
year
as
well,
we're
both
in
our
mid-30s.
For
her
case
it
happened
at
the
Grand
one
night
and
we
weren't
even
aware
of
it.
Until
the
next
day.
She
ended
up
getting
thrown
out
for
being
overly
intoxicated,
and
then
she
informed
me
the
next
day
that
she
had
no
memory
a
recollection
of
the
night
and
had
him
drinking
that
much.
R
My
own
personal
experience
actually
is
a
little
bit
more
I,
don't
want
to
say
concerning
because
any
any
case
is
concerning,
but
my
personal
case
I
was
actually
working
that
night
at
I'm
an
event
planner
and
I.
I
have
other
jobs
too.
So
I've,
actually
you
know
done
a
lot
of
work
in
The,
Nightlife
industry,
but
I
was
actually
assisting
with
my
company
like
corporate
company.
R
Think
the
the
oval
room
and
I
had
a
situation
where
I
even
knew
the
gentleman
who
I
think
drugged
my
drink
and
I
had
an
incident
where
I
literally
had
glasses
of
champagne
before
walking
to
my
car
to
go
home
at
like
probably
11
pm
at
night
and
I,
don't
remember
the
walk
back
to
my
car
I
woke
up
in
my
car
with
my
stuff
everywhere.
I.
R
Remember,
looking
at
my
GPS
and
wandering
around
Boston
for
about
an
hour
and
having
no
recollection
of
of
that
time-
and
it
was
very
scary
to
come
out
of
that
and
trying
to
have
the
experience
of
figuring
out.
What
to
do.
You
and
I
found
that
it
was
for
me
personally,
very
difficult
to
know
how
I
should
go
about
this
situation
and
I
didn't
know
like
it.
It
took
me
a
lot
of
time
to
figure
out.
You
know
the
proper
process.
I
probably
didn't,
go
to
the
hospital
soon
enough
to
get
drug
tested.
R
It
was
something
that
actually,
when
I
went
to
the
police
to
report,
the
incident
I
was
kind
of
reprimanded
for
doing
and,
and
it
was
so
the
way
in
which
I
was
the
interactions
that
I
had
when
I
first
reported.
It
was
kind
of
like,
instead
of
like
feeling
supported,
I
felt
like
I
was
being
you
know,
basically
reprimanded
for
not
immediately
going
to
the
hospital
and
not
getting
drug
tested
right
away,
because
I
didn't
do
that
and
I
didn't
really
know
where
there
was
like
information
on
like
what
to
do.
R
If
you
have
been
drugged,
I
waited
too
long,
I
didn't
go
to
the
hospital
and
it
was
out
of
the
system
and
then,
when
I
spoke
to
the
police
and
the
officer
that
initially
helped.
My
case
was
very
helpful,
but
it
only
kind
of
went
so
far,
because
I
found
out
that
the
the
hotel
had
only
had
cameras
on
the
entrances
and
exits
of
of
the
hotel
room,
and
the
gentleman
that
I
was
talking
to
had
told
me
that
he
had
a
hotel
room
in
the
building.
R
So
it's
very
unlikely
that
he
left
and
I
knew
exactly
where
I
was
positioned
in
the
bar.
But
given
the
fact
that
I
had
all
this
information
and
knew
who
he
looked
like,
there
was
no
way
to
narrow
down
who
the
person
was,
and
it's
one
of
these
situations
where
it
might
be
a
good
idea
to
encourage,
especially
with
bars
or
even
nightclubs,
to
have
cameras
where
drinks
are
being
served
and
that
way.
So
when
police
are
investigating
matters,
they
can
actually
review
footage.
R
R
R
R
Instead,
it
just
ended
up
dead
in
the
water,
because,
just
like
you
know,
I
had
no
evidence
of
being
drugged
and
we
couldn't
find
the
person,
and
so
it
just
kind
of
you
know,
and
it
was
it's
just
this
unfortunate
incident
that
now
lives
in
my
history,
but
it'd
be
nice.
If
that
we
could
have
that
sort
of
encouragement
of
like
hey
cameras,
you
know
educating
the
public
on
what
to
do
it's
great
to
like
offer
like
drink,
Koozies
and
stuff.
R
But
you
know
there's
a
lot
that
can
be
done
like
for
after
the
fact
and
into
the
investigation.
I
think
preventative
is
great,
but
it
also
has
to
be
considered
what
to
do,
because
it's
still
going
to
happen,
even
if
you
try
to
prevent
it
and
so
having
that
education
afterwards.
Would
really
I
think
help
some
people
and
possibly
even
help
the
process
of
like
finding
out
who
these
people
are
like?
Who
are
these
perpetrators?
B
Katie,
thank
you
for
your
courage.
I'm
sure
you
did
nothing
wrong
and
hopefully
the
testimony
will
inspire
want
others
to
share
their
stories,
but
true
also
to
help
us
make
the
necessary
sort
of
changes
to
combat
and
to
deal
with
this
in
an
appropriate
manner
of
Council
Colette.
If
you
have
anything
else
to
add
to
Katie's
comments,
you
know
before.
A
Yeah
I
know
thank
you
so
much
Katie
just
for
for
being
here
and
for
your
bravery
and
for
everybody
who
paid
public
testimony.
It's
not
it's
not
easy
to
live
these
memories,
let
alone
come
to
public
hearing
and
put
it
out
there.
But
the
fact
that
you
are
here
is
it's
incredible
and,
like
cosmoplarity
said
it
will
help
other
people
come
forward.
So
just
thank
you
for
being
here
and
providing
your
perspective.
B
S
You,
my
name,
is
Ria
Becker
I
live
in
Jamaica
Plain
I've
worked
for
many
decades
on
violent
skin
swimming,
but
I'm
here
as
a
very
concerned
citizen.
So
here's
my
theory
about
the
whole
thing.
This
epidemic
will
not
be
solved
by
awareness
or
curbing
over
indulging
or
special
cups
or
security
cameras.
S
Bar
buddies
are
nice,
but
only
after
the
fact
so
on
the
Facebook
page
that
the
earlier
woman
referenced
first
booze
in
Boston
is
where
some
of
the
victims
have
been
documenting
their
experiences,
the
victims
say
over
and
over
again
they
watched
the
bartender
when
they
ordered
a
drink.
They
watched
the
bartender
pour
the
drink
and
they
watch
the
bartender.
Put
that
drink
in
front
of
them
and
never
see
anything
suspicious.
S
My
theory
is
the
bottles
are
being
spiked
ahead
of
time
so
that
no
one
sees
anyone
doing
anything
to
their
drinks.
There's
really
no
other
explanation.
I
can
think
of
it's,
not
a
stranger
walking
over
or
anything
else.
So,
please,
please,
don't
think
that
these
cups
and
these
security
cameras
are
going
to
do
anything.
Thank
you.
B
A
Do
best
thank
you,
chair
I,
don't
have
any
further
questions
for
other
chairwoman
and
the
chief
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
again
for
being
here
and
I
I
know
we
all
are
committed
to
this
work
and
leaning
in
to
let
us
know
how
we
can
be
helpful
and
we
hope
to
be
involved
in
future
conversations,
including
the
task
force.
Thank
you.
B
D
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
being
here.
Ilana
I
know
that
we're
scheduled
to
speak
so
I'm,
looking
forward
to
our
one-on-one
conversation,
but
I
guess
my
question,
for
you
is:
how
have
you
been
able
to
best
sort
of
integrate
or
support
the
work
that
municipalities
are
already
doing
around
issues
of
of
of
being
responsive
to
the
needs
of
survivors
and
and
just
generally
like?
D
What
do
you
think
we,
as
a
city
in
Boston,
can
be
doing
better
in
this
space
and
I
guess
I
mean
the
same
question
goes
to
you
as
well:
Dave
like
what
can
I
know
that
bark
like,
as
I
said
earlier,
used
to
provide
these
trainings
so
to
to
bartender.
So
what
is
it
that
we
can
be
doing
better
and
and
what
resources
can
we
put
towards
being
better
Partners
with
community
and
with
all
of
you,.
L
So,
for
example,
if
somebody
is
too
scared-
or
there
are
other
reasons
that
they
can't
or
won't
go
to
a
hospital
or
to
law
enforcement,
we
want
to
create
different
options
for
them
or
additive
options
for
them
to
sort
of
memorialize
what
they
believe
to
be
their.
You
know
a
a
crime
that
has
been
committed
against
them,
whether
it
is
the
drink
spiking
itself,
and
they
want
to
do
a
toxicology
screening
in
a
timely
fashion
so
that
there
isn't
this
issue
of
degrading
of
of
evidence.
L
That
occurs
when
too
much
time
has
elapsed
or
the
timely
collection
of
forensic
evidence
in
the
incidence
of
a
sexual
assault,
which
is
one
of
the
the
services
that
we
provide
and
I.
Think
that,
speaking
to
this
sort
of
Education
and
Training
issue
that
the
installation
of
not
just
signage
but
products
and
goods
that
make
it
easier
for
somebody
to
collect
their
own
evidence
and
show
that
this
may
have
happened
to
them.
Either.
L
If
you
install
a
box
in
the
bathroom
of
an
establishment
or
on
a
campus,
that
is
a
statement
about
how
that
institution
feels
and
where
they
stand
on
these
issues
regarding
drink
spiking
regarding
sexual
violence
and
the
sad
reality
is
that
70
percent
of
sexual
violence
survivors
never
ever
connect
with
any
kind
of
medical
care
or
law
enforcement.
So
there's
already
some
chilling
effect
that
that
happens,
and
we
know
that
right.
It's
it's
probably
the
most
under
reported
crime.
Maybe
human
trafficking
is
slightly
more.
L
D
M
A
recognizing
time,
I'll
try
to
be
brief,
I
think
sort
of
like
we
discussed
before
and
I
think.
We've
heard
over
the
course
of
the
hearing
today.
Coordination
collaboration
can
be
a
really
strong
Tool
to
help
prevent
or
to
ensure
that
survivors
have
access
to
the
Supportive
Services.
They
need
that
can
look
a
lot
of
different
ways.
M
Bark
does
facilitate
the
sexual
assault
response
team
in
Cambridge,
which
might
be
a
model
for
something
similar
here
where,
once
a
month,
the
bark
and
a
variety
of
other
institutions,
including
Cambridge
Police
I,
know
BPD,
has
come
to
some
of
those
meetings
as
well.
Some
of
the
the
local
area-
schools
in
Cambridge,
as
well
as
some
of
our
hospitals,
can
get
together
and
talk
about
some
of
the
issues
that
they're
seeing
and
if
one
of
the
things
that
we're
hearing
is
folks
who've
experienced.
M
M
If
the
chief
is
in
a
position
where
some
form
of
city-based
resource
is
available,
that
folks
can
call
and
get
sort
of
a
One-Stop
set
of
referrals
that
that's
one
way
to
help
connect
folks
to
resources
quickly
and
in
one
place
the
prevention
side
of
things
is
deeply
close
to
Mark's
heart,
that's
harder,
just
because
there's
a
lot
of
components
that
go
into
it
again.
The
training
that
bark
used
to
do-
and
it
sounds
like
some
of
our
establishments-
are
pursuing
in
their
own
Direction.
M
They
are
promising
they've
had
some
strong
impacts,
but
making
sure
that
they
are
as
effective
as
they
could
be.
Long
term
requires
consistency
and,
and
probably
a
pretty
good
amount
of
resources
and
some
city
muscle
behind
them.
So
those
things
can
be
pretty
valuable
in
helping
prevent
this
kind
of
situation
before
it
happens,
but
they
need
to
be
sort
of
long-term
Solutions
and
I
know
that
bark
would
be
really
excited
to
engage
in
those
conversations
with
the
city
and
other
agencies
about
how
we
could
make
that
that
happen.
Long
term.
D
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Dave
I,
really
like
that,
every
like
a
lot
of
what
you
said,
especially
around
the
idea
of
the
of
the
model
that
you've
had
with
Cambridge,
so
I
I,
want
to
thank
you,
Dave
and
Alana
for
being
here.
I
also
want
to
thank
those
who
came
and
gave
public
testimony
on
issues
that
were
very
personal,
that
really
helped
educate
us
on
the
best
way
forward.
D
B
B
You
know
issue.
Obviously
the
difficulty
is
contaminated.
Drinks
are
all
too
often
under
reported,
so
it's
it's
also
hard
to
detect
and
it's
hard
to
prosecute.
So
you
know
just
collaborating,
and
you
know,
coming
up
with
innovative
ways
to
increase
safety
and
to
better
support
victims.
Clover,
that's
when,
with
this
hearing
and
the
committee
is
committed
to
do
working
with
the
lead
sponsors,
both
the
council
collector
and
Council
Louisiana.
B
So
with
that
Council
Coletta
final
words
for
folks
that
are
here,
I'm
thanking
everyone
for
their
time
for
their
attention,
for
their
dedication
and
and
and
experience,
obviously,
and
skill
set
to
help
lend
a
hand
here
so
for
all
of
you
appreciated
it
on
behalf
of
the
committee,
you're
willingness
to
participate
in
and
work
with,
Council
collector
comes
to
Louisiana
to
bring
this
forward
so,
but
that
Council
Clarity
can
have
final
words
and
right
afternoon.
Thank.
A
A
I
have
been
taking
diligent
notes,
so
please
indulge
me
as
I
make
sure
I
get
everything
and
I'll
follow
up
on
the
record,
but
just
in
terms
of
following
up
with
with
BPD,
there
was
a
proposal
from
my
colleague
Kenzie
Bach,
to
create
a
form
online
to
record
an
incident
to
make
it
easier
to
report.
Counselor
lujen
suggested
creating
a
hotline
within
BPD
for
folks
to
call
there
are
certainly
what
I
identified.
There
are
certainly
some
opportunities
as
it
relates
to
tracking
these
incidents
within
the
mark
43
system.
A
A
Of
course,
just
continuing
the
collaboration
with
colleges
and
through
the
office
of
Economic
Opportunity,
again
I'm
pleased
to
hear
that
they
will
be
providing
Financial
Resources
for
some
of
the
smaller
preventative
measures
for
venues
like
Quantum
cups,
scrunchie
cup
covers
and
a
commitment
to
exploring
financial
assistance
for
cameras
and
out
and
Outreach
materials.
But
we
all
know
that
it's
gonna,
it's
a
a
multi-layered
strategy,
and
so
it's
going
to
take
all
hands
on
deck,
but
I
look
forward
to
continuing
the
conversation
and
again
just
want
to
express
my
gratitude
to
everyone
who's
here.
B
Thank
you
very
much
to
both
Council,
clutter
and
councilor,
illusion
for
being
the
lead
sponsors
for
all
my
colleagues
from
attending
for
all
of
that
PM
lists
for
spending
this,
the
last
two
and
a
half
hours
with
us
and
we'll
continue
to
work
together
on
it.
If
there's
any
follow-up,
clearly
Council
Coletta
on
behalf
of
the
council
as
well
as
the
committee
chair,
we
can
get
that
information
disseminated,
but
let's
just
keep
working
together,
and
hopefully
we
can.
B
The
number
is
zero
would
be
perfect,
an
ideal
situation,
but
nonetheless,
we
clearly
must
be
able
to
do
a
better
job.
73
reported
incidents
are
clearly
too
many
and
by
working
together,
hopefully
we
can
eliminate,
is
predatory,
behavior
in
our
city,
so
with
that
the
Committee
on
Public,
Safety
and
criminal
justice
hearing
on
docket
11404-1104
order
to
address
contaminated
Beverages
and
buyers
and
Cloud
responsible
accounts
of
Colette
and
Council
Louisiana
is
adjourned.
Thank
you
everyone
and
have
a
great
weekend.
Thank.
