Uber says it's focused on safety in the new year.
But according to a memo obtained by CNN, the people meant to investigate safety violations are overworked, underpaid and sometimes emotionally traumatized.
The memo said Uber's Special Investigations Unit handles more than 1,000 cases per week.
Most involved sexual assaults, misconduct and rape allegations against Uber drivers.
