D. Cowdrey asked who sits on the program. T. Spinola-Campbell said it€s her <br />understanding that it€s a production of Crime Stoppers and Na LeoO Hawaii with the <br />Police Department hosting the program. <br />T. Spinola-Campbell mentioned that the program started again and she asked J. Souza <br />if there is a message about the transcripts being available. J. Souza replied that he has <br />not seen it and many deaf people told him that they saw that. T. Spinola-Campbell <br />suggested that MCPD send a letter to the Police Chief or the Mayor to express their <br />feelings. A letter to the Mayor wouldget the issue elevated at a higher level.
