Finding Words
You can use the Find command to find a complete word or part of a word in the current PDF document. Acrobat Reader looks for the word by reading every word on every page in the file, including text in form fields.
To find a word using the Find command:
1. Click the Find button (Binoculars), or choose Edit > Find.
2. Enter the text to find in the text box.
3. Select search options if necessary:
Match Whole Word Only finds only occurrences of the complete word you enter in the box. For example, if you search for the word stick, the words tick and sticky will not be highlighted.
Match Case finds only words that contain exactly the same capitalization you enter in the box.
Find Backwards starts the search from the current page and goes backwards through the document.
4. Click Find. Acrobat Reader finds the next occurrence of the word.
To find the next occurrence of the word, Do one of the following:
Choose Edit > Find Again
Reopen the find dialog box, and click Find Again.
(The word must already be in the Find text box.)
Copying and pasting text and graphics to another application
You can select text or a graphic in a PDF document, copy it to the Clipboard, and paste it into another application such as a word processor. You can also paste text into a PDF document note or into a bookmark. Once the selected text or graphic is on the Clipboard, you can switch to another application and paste it into another document.
Note: If a font copied from a PDF document is not available on the system displaying the copied text, the font cannot be preserved. A default font is substituted.
To select and copy it to the clipboard:
1. Select the text tool T, and do one of the following:
To select a line of text, select the first letter of the sentence or phrase and drag to
the last letter.
To select multiple columns of text (horizontally), hold down Ctrl+Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) as you drag across the width of the document.
To select a column of text (vertically), Hold down Ctrl+Alt (Windows) or Option+Command (Mac OS) as you drag the length of the document.
To select all the text on the page, choose Edit > Select All. In single page mode, all the text on the current page is selected. In Continuous or Continuous – facing mode, most of the text in the document is selected. When you release the mouse button, the selected text is highlighted. To deselect the text and start over, click anywhere outside the selected text.
The Select All command will not select all the text in the document. A workaround for this (Windows) is to use the Edit > Copy command. Choose Edit > Copy to copy the selected text to the clipboard.
2. To view the text, choose Window > Show Clipboard
In Windows 95, the Clipboard Viewer is not installed by default and you cannot use the Show Clipboard command until it is installed. To install the Clipboard Viewer, Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs, and then click the Windows Setup tab. Double-click Accessories, check Clipboard Viewer, and click OK.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2013, 9:00 A.M. AND 1:00 P.M.
[REPORT OF ACTION TAKEN IN CLOSED SESSION TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2013 ON PAGE 98, READ BY SACHI HAMAI, EXECUTIVE OFFICER]
SUP. RIDLEY-THOMAS, CHAIRMAN: GOOD MORNING AND WE WELCOME YOU TO A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. IT IS OUR REPORT BACK ON THE CITIZENS COMMISSION ON JAIL VIOLENCE; THAT IS THE IMPLEMENTATION MONITOR. IT IS THE THIRD REPORT. TAKE NOTE OF THE SERGEANT AT ARMS IS IN PLACE AND COUNTY COUNSEL, EXECUTIVE OFFICER AS WELL AS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND WE ARE NOW IN ORDER TO PROCEED. MADAM EXECUTIVE OFFICER.
SACHI HAMAI, EXEC. OFFICER: MR. CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, THE ITEMS BEFORE YOU TODAY ARE S-1 AND S-2, THEY ARE BOTH REPORTS.
SUP. RIDLEY-THOMAS, CHAIRMAN: THANK YOU. AS A QUORUM IS ESTABLISHED. WE PROCEED NOW TO OUR IMPLEMENTATION MONITOR. GOOD MORNING.
RICHARD DROOYAN: GOOD MORNING, SUPERVISOR RIDLEY-THOMAS. GOOD MORNING. FOR THE RECORD MY NAME IS RICHARD DROOYAN, I'M THE IMPLEMENTATION MONITOR ON THE CITIZENS COMMISSION ON JAIL VIOLENCE RECOMMENDATIONS. SINCE MY REPORT TO THE BOARD IN DECEMBER AND THE SECOND WRITTEN REPORT LAST MONTH, THE DEPARTMENT HAS CONTINUED TO MAKE PROGRESS IN IMPLEMENTING THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE CITIZENS COMMISSION ON JAIL VIOLENCE. TO DATE, THE DEPARTMENT HAS IMPLEMENTED 25 OF THE COMMISSION'S 60 RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WERE DIRECTED TO THE DEPARTMENT. IT HAS PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED ANOTHER 16 RECOMMENDATIONS. AND IT IS IN THE PROCESS OF IMPLEMENTING ANOTHER 17. SEVEN OF THOSE SEVENTEEN IN PROCESS RECOMMENDATIONS HAVE REQUESTS BY THE DEPARTMENT FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING AND TWO OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS HAVE NOT STARTED OR ARE ONLY IN THE EARLY STAGES ALSO HAVE FUNDING REQUESTS FROM THE DEPARTMENT. ESSENTIALLY, TO DATE, THE DEPARTMENT HAS SUBSTANTIALLY IMPLEMENTED THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT DO NOT HAVE A RESOURCE OR FUNDING COMPONENT. AND I WILL WALK THE BOARD THROUGH EACH OF THE CATEGORIES RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE COMMISSION. [SILENCE.]
RICHARD DROOYAN: THE FIRST CATEGORY IS THE USE-OF-FORCE RECOMMENDATIONS. AND AS YOU SEE, MOST OF THESE HAVE BEEN EITHER IMPLEMENTED OR ARE PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED. AND MANY OF THE PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED WILL BE IMPLEMENTED WITHIN THE NEXT 30 DAYS. THEY REALLY GO TO THE WAY IN WHICH THE USE-OF-FORCE MANUAL WAS DRAFTED. THE DEPARTMENT PUT TOGETHER A COMPREHENSIVE USE-OF-FORCE MANUAL. IT'S ALL OF THEIR POLICIES AND PROCEDURES RELATING TO THE USE- OF-FORCE ARE IN THE MANUAL. BUT THE MANUAL IS SOMEWHAT CUMBERSOME AND IT'S HARD TO USE. AND OVER THE LAST MONTH AND A HALF, I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE DEPARTMENT TO SIMPLIFY THE USE- OF-FORCE MANUAL. AND I HAVE A GOAL OF HAVING THIS DONE BY THE TIME THAT I APPEAR BEFORE THE BOARD NEXT. AND THAT WILL IF WE'RE DONE BY THEN, THEN RECOMMENDATIONS 3-1, WHICH IS THE MANUAL ITSELF AND 3-5, 3-6 AND 3-7 WILL BE COMPLETED. THE DEPARTMENT DOES HAVE A POLICY THAT REFLECTS THE FORCE- PREVENTION PRINCIPLES, THE ANTI-HARASSMENT PRINCIPLES, THE OBJECTIVELY REASONABLE STANDARD, PREFERENCE FOR PLANNED, SUPERVISED AND DIRECTORY FORCE AND FOR SPECIAL NEEDS. SOME OF THESE, HOWEVER, AS I SAID JUST NEED TO BE CLARIFIED A LITTLE BIT MORE IN THE USE-OF- FORCE MANUAL. IT IS GOING TO TAKE A WHILE, NUMBER 3.8 FOR THE DEPARTMENT TO COME UP WITH A SINGLE, RELIABLE, AND COMPREHENSIVE DATA TRACKING SYSTEM. THEY HAVE NOT STARTED THIS. THEY HAVE A THREE MILLION DOLLAR FUNDING REQUEST FOR OVERHAULING THE DATA TRAFFICKING SYSTEM. THE DEPARTMENT HAS, HOWEVER, STARTED TO MODIFY THE PERSONAL PERFORMANCE INDEX, THE P.P.I. DATABASE, THAT TRACKS THE PERFORMANCE OF INDIVIDUAL DEPUTIES SO THAT BY SEPTEMBER, THE DEPARTMENT BELIEVES THEY WILL BE ABLE TO TRACK INMATE GRIEVANCES BY DEPUTY NAMES IN P.P.I. AND THIS HAS BEEN A BIG ISSUE FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. IN THE INTERIM, THEY ARE TRACKING THESE GRIEVANCES IN THE FAST DATA SYSTEM BUT THAT IS NOT LINKED SPECIFICALLY TO DEPUTY NAMES. THE DEPARTMENT IS ANALYZING INMATE GRIEVANCES REGARDING THE USE OF FORCE. THEY HAVE NOW STARTED USING A RISK MANAGEMENT LIEUTENANT AT THE DIVISION LEVEL, AND THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF IMPLEMENTING THIS RECOMMENDATION AT THE UNIT LEVEL, MEANING THE JAIL FACILITY LEVEL. THE NEXT IS THE USE-OF-FORCE STATISTICAL DATA. THAT IS BEING RIGOROUSLY ANALYZED BY THE DEPARTMENT. I'VE SEEN THE REPORTS THAT THE DEPARTMENT GENERATES. I TALKED TO THE COMMANDERS. I TALKED TO THE CHIEF. AND I'M CONFIDENT THAT THE DEPARTMENT IS NOW TRACKING THE USE-OF-FORCE DATA IN REAL TIME, A BIG IMPROVEMENT OVER WHAT WE SAW AT THE TIME THE COMMISSION WAS DOING ITS INVESTIGATION. AND THEN, FINALLY, THERE IS THE PURCHASE OF ADDITIONAL BODY SCANNERS. THOSE HAVE BEEN PURCHASED. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE DELIVERY IS DUE SOMETIME IN JUNE. AND I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE A BIG IMPROVEMENT. IT'S SOMETHING THAT WILL BE WELCOMED BY THE DEPARTMENT AND PROBABLY THE INMATES, AS WELL. I THOUGHT WHAT I WOULD DO IS GO THROUGH EACH OF THE CHAPTERS GROUPS OF RECOMMENDATIONS AND THEN TAKE QUESTIONS IF THAT WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE TO THE BOARD. NEXT IS MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS. AS YOU SEE, THE BULK OF THESE RECOMMENDATIONS HAVE NOW BEEN IMPLEMENTED. AND THE BIG CHANGE IS THE SELECTION OF A NEW ASSISTANT SHERIFF FOR CUSTODY, TERRY MCDONALD, FROM CALIFORNIA CORRECTIONS. THE DEPARTMENT DID DO A NATIONWIDE SEARCH. I PERSONALLY LOOKED AT THE RESUMES OF THE TOP CANDIDATES THAT THE DEPARTMENT RECEIVED. AND I LOOKED AT THE NEW ASSISTANT SHERIFF'S RESUME, AS WELL. AND SHE'S CERTAINLY WELL QUALIFIED FOR THE POSITION. SO AS A RESULT, THE DEPARTMENT NOW, WITHIN ANOTHER MONTH AND A HALF SHOULD HAVE A NEW ASSISTANT CUSTODY SHERIFF ON BOARD WHO WILL OVERSEE THE CUSTODY DIVISION. SHE WILL REPORT DIRECTLY TO THE SHERIFF. AND THE COMMANDERS AND MANAGEMENT TASKFORCE WILL NOT BE PART OF CAPACITY MANAGEMENT ANY FURTHER. THE SHERIFF AND UPPER MANAGEMENT ARE THE PERSONALLY REGULARLY ENGAGED IN THE OVERSIGHT OF THE JAILS. SENIOR MANAGEMENT IS VISITING THE JAILS. POSITION DESCRIPTIONS NOW REQUIRE SENIOR MANAGEMENT TO VISIT THE JAILS. AND I THINK THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN ENHANCEMENTS TO THE MANAGEMENT OF THE CUSTODY DIVISION. WHAT REMAINS ARE A FEW IMPORTANT ISSUES. SOME MANAGERS, HIGH-LEVEL MANAGERS HAVE NOW RETIRED AND LEFT THE DEPARTMENT. THESE WERE PEOPLE WHO WERE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR OVERSIGHT OF THE JAILS DURING THE PERIOD OF TIME THAT MANY OF THE PROBLEMS OCCURRED. BUT THE DEPARTMENT IS CONTINUING TO DO AN ADMINISTRATIVE INVESTIGATION. THIS IS 4.2, TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT ANY FURTHER DISCIPLINE OR PERSONNEL ACTIONS ARE NECESSARY. I WANT TO FOCUS FOR A MOMENT ON 4.12. THIS IS THE CREATION OF AN INTERNAL AUDIT AND INSPECTION DIVISION UNDER A SINGLE CHIEF. THIS IS GOING TO BE A CRITICAL RECOMMENDATION FOR THE DEPARTMENT GOING FORWARD TO INSURE THAT THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ARE IMPLEMENTED ARE, IN FACT, BEING FOLLOWED. THE DEPARTMENT IS WORKING WITH ME AND WITH THE TWO CONSULTANTS RETAINED BY THE BOARD, JOE MCGRATH AND JOE BRAND, TO DEVELOP AN INTERNAL AUDIT AND INSPECTION DIVISION THAT WILL MONITOR THE DEPARTMENT'S PERFORMANCE, ENSURE THAT VARIOUS SECTIONS AND DIVISIONS ARE ADHERING TO THE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES, AND TO ENSURE THAT THE COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATIONS ARE BEING FOLLOWED ON AN ONGOING BASIS BY THE DEPARTMENT. AND THAT IS GOING TO BE A CRITICAL DIVISION. IT NEEDS TO BE CREATED BY THE DEPARTMENT, AND IT IS GOING TO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT FUNDING OR RESOURCE COMPONENT TO IT. THE DEPARTMENT IS GOING TO NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO STAFF THAT DIVISION. AND THERE'S GOING TO OBVIOUSLY BE SOME ISSUES ABOUT HOW TO PAY FOR IT. ONE OTHER RECOMMENDATION I'LL TOUCH UPON IS THE CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION POLICY. THE DEPARTMENT HAS NOW IMPLEMENTED A CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION POLICY THAT ESSENTIALLY PRECLUDES ANYBODY WHO RECEIVES A CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION FROM A MEMBER OF THE DEPARTMENT FROM HAVING ANYTHING TO DO WITH PERSONNEL DECISIONS PERTAINING TO THAT CONTRIBUTOR. I'VE REVIEWED THAT. I'VE HAD SOME INPUT INTO THE DRAFTING OF THAT, AND THAT IS MY JUDGMENT FULLY IMPLEMENTED. NEXT IS THE CULTURE CHAPTER. AS YOU SEE, MOST OF THESE HAVE BEEN EITHER IMPLEMENTED OR PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED. ONE IS IN PROGRESS AND WILL BE IMPLEMENTED SOON. THE RESPECT FOR AND COMMUNICATION WITH INMATES; THE DEPARTMENT HAS IMPLEMENTED THIS RECOMMENDATION THROUGH THE E.B.I., THE EDUCATION-BASED INCARCERATION INITIATIVE BY THE TOWN HALL MEETINGS BY THE FORCE PREVENTION AND ANTI-HARASSMENT PRINCIPLES AND BY THE TRAINING THAT THE NEW DEPUTIES RECEIVE IN ALL OF THESE AREAS. THIS CERTAINLY IS A PRIORITY FOR THE SHERIFF, AND I THINK IT IS REFLECTED WHEN YOU VISIT THE JAILS AND YOU SEE THE EFFORTS TO IMPLEMENT THE EDUCATION-BASED INCARCERATION AND THE TOWN HALLS. THE NEXT ONE, FORCE PREVENTION IS STRESSED IN THE ACADEMY AND IN CUSTODY DIVISION TRAINING. THERE NEEDS TO BE ADDITIONAL TRAINING FOR EXISTING DEPUTIES, WHICH WILL BE PART OF THE CUSTODY DIVISION TRAINING BUREAU THAT THE DEPARTMENT IS IN THE PROCESS OF CREATING. AGAIN, THAT'S THE SAME WITH ETHICS TRAINING. IT CERTAINLY HAS BEEN ENHANCED IN THE ACADEMY AND CUSTODY DIVISION. IT JUST NEEDS TO BE FURTHER ENHANCED FOR EXISTING DEPUTIES FOR THE EXISTING TRAINING BUREAU. CUSTODY SHOULD BE A EVALUATED AND RESPECTED ASSIGNMENT CAREER. THAT HAS NOW BEEN IMPLEMENTED THROUGH THE DUAL TRACK PLAN THAT WAS IMPLEMENTED ON FEBRUARY 1ST OF THIS YEAR. IT PROVIDES FOR A CAREER IN CUSTODY. IT ALSO PROVIDES FOR THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THERE TO BE PROMOTIONS IN CUSTODY. SENIOR LEADERS MUST BE MORE VISIBLE IN THE JAILS. AGAIN, I'VE TALKED TO A NUMBER. SENIOR LEADERS. THEY CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THAT IS PART OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES. AND AS I INDICATED, THE POSITION DESCRIPTION FOR EVERYBODY FROM THE CAPTAIN ABOVE HAS BEEN AMENDED TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT THAT IS PART OF THEIR JOB RESPONSIBILITIES. THE DEPARTMENT MUST HAVE ZERO TOLERANCE FOR ACTS OF DISHONESTY. THE DEPARTMENT IS IN THE PROCESS OF REVISING THE GUIDELINES. THOSE I HAD A CONVERSATION THIS MORNING WITH THE COMMANDER RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT. AND THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF CONFUSION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT CERTAIN OF THE FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS THAT I MADE ARE IN THE GUIDELINES. THEY HAD BEEN ADOPTED BY THE DEPARTMENT. AND SO THIS, I BELIEVE, WILL BE FULLY IMPLEMENTED BY THE TIME OF MY NEXT REPORT. THAT'S 5.6. 5.7, THE DEPARTMENT DOES HAVE A ROTATION POLICY. BUT IT EXEMPTS KEY POSITIONS. AND THE COMMISSION'S CONCERN WAS THAT THE EXEMPTIONS COULD SWALLOW THE RULE. I WILL BE WORKING WITH A WORKING GROUP FROM THE DEPARTMENT TO DEVELOP A POLICY WITH RESPECT TO KEY POSITIONS THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATIONS. AND THEN WITH RESPECT TO DISCOURAGING PARTICIPATION PARTICIPATION IN CLIQUES AGAIN THAT IS PART OF THE TRAINING THAT IS ONGOING. AND ONCE THE CUSTODY TRAINING BUREAU IS IN PLACE, IT WILL BE PART OF THE TRAINING FOR EXISTING DEPUTIES, AS WELL. THIS IS THE PERSONNEL AND TRAINING CHAPTER. WITH RESPECT TO REVISING ITS POLICIES TO REFLECT CUSTODY'S IMPORTANCE TO THE DEPARTMENT, THAT IS PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED BECAUSE ALTHOUGH THE DUAL TRACK WAS IMPLEMENTED, THE CUSTODY DIVISION TRAINING BUREAU IS STILL IN PROGRESS.
