Following club member Lori Saldaña’s presentation (PDF) to members of the San Diego City Council last month on untested Sexual Assault Evidence Kits (SAEKS), Marni von Wilpert, Chair of the Public Safety Committee, requested an update from the San Diego Police Department. They posted their response here (PDF).If you’re available to attend, or leave comment, the next meeting of the Public Safety Committee is on May 14, 2PM at the City Administration Building, 12th Floor, 202 C St, San Diego, CA 92101 — where this important item will be discussed.
