Dr. Gurchand Singh:

We looked at the State Pathologist's reports and found incidents there that pathologically, were considered to be homicides. However, when we looked on the PULSE system, such an incident might not be recorded there as a homicide. It was often recorded in a lesser group - a non-crime group, such as sudden death. Alternatively, it might be recorded as an assault. The report that we had from the Office of the State Pathologist did not correspond to what was recorded on PULSE. That said, there was always a missing piece of information, namely, the investigation file. The investigation file may have recorded some other issues which led to the incident's classification. That is why, when the issue was initially raised with me in discussion with the analysts, I decided to raise this problem with the executive. It was about November when we raised the problem. I felt that we needed to have a look at this, but we needed to review the case files in order to get a fuller picture.
