Hi Judith,

I checked the website. The link is broken, and nobody responded to my informal email about it, so I filed an official request. Please send me a copy, and you may also want to make sure to tell the website staff to get that fixed.

Thanks,
David Bixenspan

David,

I just checked and at www.cmpd.org<http://www.cmpd.org>, all of our directives are listed, and it is working. Our Use of Deadly Force Directive is at 600-018. Here is also a link to the location on the website. Let me know if you have any further issues.
