work with the union partners and listen to the staff that is incredible work i know we're supposed to take public comment i could not hold back and love the picture of dr. colfax and happy with the progress that's why that is any public comment on that item. >> any public comment in the room on this item. >> i did see one hand. >> you are unmuted let us know you're there. >> the caller disappeared. >> let's give that person a second to come back. >> um, move on the person is back. >> held back commissioner comments and questions. >> vice president guillermo thank you for the presentation very informative and feels good to know a concerted effort around the r.n.s part of the

r.n. part of workforce and looking forward to seeing where other parts of work we need so many different um, professionals both licensed and others in the departments and throughout the city i have a couple of questions one can you talk about the recruitment effort that i guess i um, pumped up a little bit is it just contained within the the geographic area or, you know, or this department is doing recruitment efforts any other parties involved how does that work? >> back to my question and then wondering whether the coordinates between the city h.r. and the dph h.r. are things can be a rope indicated in other

instances for other workforce needs and if there are any points need to addressed and then actually what are the still existing pain points would like to address as you move forward but first congratulations on being able to streamline the process and really to hear the great news on the number of at least the rns are brought in the system in a short time. >> vice president guillermo for the first question like to invite the director of recruitment and assessment. >> good evening, commissioners so primarily recruiting efforts have been along the consolidation because we don't have special tiers only two jobs

being able to double down on a large candidate and seeing successes in hiring otherwise not only had a critical care with 10 or 15 have a large group to choose from we had continued using smart recruiters for the tracking systems that are possible as well as leveraging our normal tools of posting in some of our normal places for special tiers, etc. i think the biggest point own this is taking our enlarged pool and putting a lot for time one time to give them more options. >> thank you the efficiency i created meant to more than

anything else like additional recruitment effort. >> i think it has been more like i said slimer eligibility specifically like one area you see larger group as a whole. so folks don't get pinned down to hiring like had a year of experience and we're looking at people more worth any based on the quality of their experience. >> thank you. >> i'm kim the director of staffing on dph to answer you're second question i think the efficiency were based on batch hiring during covid and consists of binding all the vacancies across the department in the

past we um, managed the vacancies separating by divisions but in the new process all in one batch process we have the candidates all the one time and at the same time and offering is going to one process at the same time rather than it is in communication and finding clarity for the candidates and saves time in the hiring managers side and h.r. side so managing some of the recruitments we've been working with the h.r. modification team since dhr to incorporate are recruiters functions and more efficiently to continue to go down that route with the interview and function we're exploring to use more thoroughly and any other questions for the

efficiency? >> just wondering as far as the described the civil service process kindergarten both one process now that is a initiated and pretty much is it - a controlled by um, the department the humboldt county h.r. or the city the c h.r. >> we're independent those are - the process is it goes position approval with the harry and dph combined and comes over to dph for the reassignment process and back to dhr for referral and work on that together with the collections and very, you know, intertwined throughout the entire process.

>> great. to here. >> commissioner giraudo. >> great. presentation. >> i appreciate also you're slides how it is laid out. was very understandable and readable my question on the hiring under our slide if in fact, i was i applied i was on the eligible list that the beginning it would take you could go over this process in approximately, one month. am i creak so the slide if, in fact, i was deemed eligible? >> correct so this option happens with every month and okay. >> to then quo campus and move

to the selection the second week so um, the first part from canvassing to select is within the first month and bend we move on to the only boarding if you're selected. >> that's the first slide a month. and then if i was going to be a new hire with, you know, in most two i would have an assignment hoping. >> correct and a huge difference so graugsz gragsz congratulations. thank you. for the uplifting report um, it's been many years of thirty odd years i had actually watched our process used to expend greater than a year in order to get

through the system sometimes i'm occurring you've been describing our regular routine so during pandemic we were able to use a sfroerld measures in order to bring that staff that we to bring staff was needed. is that now the protocol it is approved by the h.r. and within we'll use or some sort of pilot and also can go away from a change in administration in h.r. >> i think what you're referring to see direct hire during covid we assessed prior to the adoption we reverted back to the process we go through the list option process. >> but you're able within the short term frame it is that the

timeframe that is not strollers exception business healthcare is required bio nursing for our general emergency room and support. >> thank you fewer question and for your support of all the efforts we've done we have made um, some changes which we are proud of we have a way to go not a direct hire we will be able to bypass is eligible list but working hard to being able to offer a job in a day and working with the city has done through our active participation of the dhr and the civil services trying to find ways to rules to get closer and closer to a one hundred days and now 60 and

thirty days not an immediate but things like that but a process we have to do and we or continuing to move towards the ability to recruit and continued selection we're able to fill the positions and getting closer and closer was that presentation we're about to 45 days trying to get closer quo have star candidates and want to be able to try and meet them where they are and not the tradition of meeting us but turn that around and continue to report back and held accountable for our efforts to. thank you very much. hope that answers your question. >> thank you. >> and i'm sure that our former commissioner singer was so frustrated are hiring time i

remember many meeting are the director. >> of course. >> go back here. >> and, of course, just as frustrating i were in our departments like such a - this is remove illustrationy those people should have gotten a good ward also and get down to the one day hiring; right? at the this is so encouraging and we it ran a long time for a change but that is a great change. thank you very much. >> thank you commissioner chow and we started with a 1,000 vacancies and, so the model we used with the nurses with the

approximations and other positions we can create those efficiency and the experience for everyone this applys for the department so thank you very much. >> thank you. >> dr. colfax. >> thank you the team for the incredible work and director kim i wanted to express the fact the technical piece put in place but more or asking for a culture shift; right? so as i think patrick you're alluding to lots of justification about well, we understand not working but this is why it has to happen for the positions, you know, for the paraphrase i know it would happen otherwise things will

fall apart i appreciate about the leadership of h.r. team and the entirety on the data and evidence of best practices i guess and so i think that something that the team has done and interesting to see the results so really want to thank them for that. >> next on behalf of all of us we're grateful for the be you've done it is reputable and exceptional such a great example so many of things siloed we were trying to give continual cares and broke down did silos and what can be accomplished with coalition especially in hiring nurses is so competitive and got kaiser permanente and organizations

automation do any of the data get broke down by age. >> the data like 8 population and i can tell you, which. >> do i have data on not just who serve but are who - really i guess suffered from the insecurity relative to those who are served? >> um, i think maybe i need more clarification what you mean by. >> insecure in the city and by the city. >> right? the person like seniors; right? have a fairly, you know, high percentage of single seniors living in san francisco have they served by the program or identified as insecure that was the kind of

data and looking at this i'm not sure of the analysis by the data. >> we have data on from the reporting data demographic data around age i don't think there was a level of detail that was provided to us around those populations are served and also the people that are in a specific age missing. >> we have numbers in the report on for programs that students insecurity you how many of their students are insecure for the broke down by graphics and we extended the numbers what populations those additional analysis in the in the reported

but planning to release those shortly. >> and i know that is difficult to gather all of that information and to hope that programs will coordinate in that way. um, but it is a nothing that i don't know i think the population in san francisco yeah. >> thank you. >> commissioner giraudo. >> i want to thank you for the report but also want to thank you more quickly answering um, our questions. um, and providing us with details answers so was very helpful and do so i know the group has presented to you're not to the report but in the public health community i honored a list of folks for the

population. and so this is helps but it is also highlights the staff there is a lot of work to do but again, thank you for your timely answers to the questions really helped me process with reading your data so thank you. >> thank you. >> commissioner chow. >> yes. i want to thank you for this report really creates a lot of questions i think rear yard the foods insecurities it certainly is important based on us to look at. i was wondering several things in the clear to me who on the task force i was trying to find do membership again and is it on many page in

the um, summary of the report. >> yes. on the last page of part one. >> i don't know if you see executive summary. >> oh, yes. >> but on the last page. >> the task force members. >> as well as the reporting departments and community-based organizations in the community. >> okay. thank you. >> i remember seeing that as we were looking at the presentation and so it is an important group we said in the group approximately in order to actually understand the food insecurity issue like and is that that then within the task force does that task force have any obligation to go back to own agency and do things? or i mean, i thinks dph helps with the task

force but what will we do outside of creating numbers? and who tracks those and who fools it? i mean at dph we have questions but what about the others have a charge of some sort to proceed with um, taking this data and then um, perhaps in homelessness really and do something? and if we're doing that is that what the next report will show? all that from the way it is just to collect the data. so up and coming to this group gets together and the following years is then the at that time will show we did something better or worse? i am

landmarking looking for a person and the next alcala tmac is - >> that's a great question. really used as tool to guide the task force members and reporting departments for the ipa securities and helps guide their own internal work i hope it does but also really using this as a tool to guide communities um, and community organizations and people on the ground living experiences with that data and their work to guide their funding and asks for the report.

um, task force numbers i think that is i think that is - um, a tool for task force members to use in their perspective agencies. to shift things internally to get that ball rolling. at guide not just people directly working on food but working with homeless people. >> so i think that is a tool can be very much moved internally to really guide with the departments. >> would you specifically looking whether or not anything has moved or changed? irony set of numbers; right? one hundred people here now do we have 24/7 here and there and will you be

able to - i'm looking for what it will be and how we're going to really make use of this data and move forward is that part of charge creating data in the next report i gather you're working on that now? i mean will you ask. >> yeah so - >> (multiple voices.) >> liaison the data to look at the data over time definitely something we're interested in um, i think at this point we're doug like what the measures have changed over time will be it requires the departments to be lineed on measuring the same thing but, yeah in discussion and work with the task force and heaping to planning to talk with them further what they want to see measured and identify the metrics but you're right we're

in discussion of what we'll be collected and what will be added or changed based on the needs of the task force. >>. okay. i think that somehow not tasked that would be great beyond that will stimulate people came back what you said some, you know, maturities or something that everybody agrees what has been done or not done and i have to sporadic questions you stated in one of the slides that something like that two or three percent people - neither was approved equity at all but

out of 90 million and yet show that in this slide of 90 million or 89 plus million those actually sound by direct services i was not sure iowa what you're point with a 2 percent is being used to 2 percent refers to another number or part of this 90 million spent and what do i building that 2 percent represented was so maul you want to tell us. >> yeah the 2.5 percent is the amount of funds dedicated to programs specifically focused on nutrition sensitive medical conditions so- >> (multiple voices). >> what we're trying to highlight as concentration increasing the amount of local funding and budget for those programs is minimal. >> okay. >> so maybe it is the way the

presentation was a that in the major report? that your asking that big bear lake that not only do we give away food but working on trying to do something about why they have food insecurities? >> okay. and so last question sort of related to your analysis of the - find the slide. >> it is can i have a specific question to understand whether it is really a cause or co-existing in the hawaiian population and the asian american pacific islanders is high number of hospitalization related to heart disease and forth and for the african-american is this a cause

or co-existing that you happened to find this data um, or are you applying a cause for food we can show or is it just the way the data has i want to tell you about that can be many reasons a certain population has higher hospitalization day to what? you know, and heart failure and i don't know if this. >> psc that is slide 11. >> it says highlighting that when he look at the date for the hospitalization due to certain diseases we are interested in the feedback with a dietary function didn't mean the people that are hospital listing in

december but food insecurity can increase the negative health outcomes and if you are diabetes those numbers are are not - i should say the reason why 9 times higher for the asian american pacific islanders just due to (unintelligible). >> great. so that actually comes back to my first question in order to - would if be something we bring to the attendance of our primary care and so forth and i'll have sandra look at it and see what we could or couldn't do or shift the groceries both of them and just to sort of look for actions those are the data the data

shows if we don't know it is costal but and you can come back and say whether or not it was not but able to do we gave all the people so in fwroesh bags and, you know, we may - i don't know certainly for the hawaiian asian american pacific islanders that is not a large number of the african-american but it is and aside for the primary care people showing have improvements on the nutrition basis central for the blood pressure should be looking how many people are hospitalized and a difference in fact all people are food insecurity what we can do that the data. >> commissioner chow. >> one of the things it is

cause and effect. but i think common sense that better food leads to better outcomes; right? so for this report the commission knows we have pharmacies in a clinical setting and have a sensitive food pharmacy program and to sustain or potentially fill up those programs i want to explain that a little bit and i think that shows the values here. >> were shown a disparity and dr. colfax shows us how we're addressing for that i think that is very good. well those are any questions?. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> i thank you, by the way,

for letting those answers i have not had a chance to review them but how do people find out about there or so many and yet how - that will be a very - in two wlaeflz is local and need for san francisco and what is national? i'm wondering how people can identify resources and to an extent schools with communicating up and coming to families. >> that's something has been in the discussion for a link time how people access information and food resources and security is joined a lot of different um, programs had eligibility requirements so they are only targeting their certain populations um, and that is one of the recommendations to have a

centralized tracking system or centralized information system people can visit that and figure out what they're eligible for and apply those are a lot of - people have their own develops their own sites but not all encompassing and people get confused. so that's been a recommendation i think the last few years ago eco system if both is task force and report. >> well, thank you would be wonderful to have that stakeholders federally or how we accomplish that in h.r. like bringing down barriers hopefully within the food and insecurity. >> best practices and also data sets nationally soeptd i know feeding america for

example, has done a a lot of work i can search the zip code and san francisco gave me locations to get food i don't know how many people know about that but in terms of to moving rapidly simple an impact on health whether you can not just within our task force but look outside of for best practices because many of those organizations are nationally well funded have a research done might help make thing more efficient to customize it to the san franciscans where do we start with that? >> related to the best practices around like referrals some are related but the task force we have a subcommittee that is called rehillary clinton

food coordination they're developing around organizing food in san francisco and what sf residents need and that is back it september and planning on coming out with final recommendations sometime in the summer i think that that committee is working how can we best unify the work that is done around san francisco. and done an analysis landscaping about all the services provided in the city and commissioners working together and resources are available, and figuring out how to create structure that can tell us all of that and get the information that wraechz as many people as potential. >> i courage you to look

nationally a lot of things have been on no later than municipality and food what people are accessing that is interesting a lot of effect on the reasons that rectal cancer people are an huge increase in debating republican in the news and has to do with with food in the just environmental so interesting to try as the next step to look at not just how to get foods but what food is and how you get to access fresh foods and your strategies there so appreciate your work and look forward to hearing more about that heavily not too long from now perhaps after the task force

is done next fall appreciate that and thank you very much. >> so next item is. >> at at march 26th meeting j.c. crick reviews the report and had two presentations one for supporting full blackbird through care this is an initiative and successful program at cf g a wide array of prenatal and posted nationalal services to support this and program it in co-alliance with

the contract on the consent agenda today and discuss that a little bit later. the other presentation introduced the next generation of hospital we went there a very exceptionally and discussion with them about what those were and the true north metrics a scorecard of those not seen it is really a wonderful road map is where he wanted over a number of years now. and westbound the organizations objectives but we watched the green to red and see how they do we had quite a discussion expensive discussions on the items specifically were would give us the background how we

would be able to watch the success rates on funding so spoog necessary have been doing for a number of years and really a very nice tool to show us the quality work they're doing. the regulatory affairs we discussed regent surveys and periodically they big one of the triannual joint commission survey and i think i reported last time they expected a good report and in fact, a good report a few finding some will require that the joint commission come back and review i building they've done that is that not correct? >> i'm not sure that the person came back to review that i think that was a cancer

survey. >> i think we all expected they'll have a remedical action will be quit prompt and we're expecting a good report into the joint commission to i know that is commission is very - always interested in the indiscretion of our hospital and commissioner. >> between e-mail and the survey is it clear all the previous efficiency and validated. >> we will be accredited again. >> for another three years. >> good for us and ortez has been before us as chief of staff and any the chief medical officer in the process of choosing another medical staff choosing another chief of medical staff. and during the

medical staff report committee reviewed and recommending to the full commission to approve the family rules and regulations that are before us. in closed session we approved the report and the minutes report. >> so don't know in the commission wishes to add further mr. green. >> certainly i have nothing to add. >> great. any public comment? >> no public comment on this item. >> any commissioners comments and questions. >> all right. then we can go to commissioner chow will give the planning and finance update. >> thank you at the planning and finance and planning committee we actually reviewed four contracts and one new

contract which i'll briefly review also for you. would also like to note through we were able to review those contracts with a problematic review document also that showed us the work that was being done especially on the renewal how they correlated point dollars spent that is perhaps with the name of students systematically and helped to understand when the contracts and want to mention that and thank staff and mr. 34u8 mullins for putting that together and the 4 contracts up for renewal one for

laguna honda epidemic loulg program extend the reason for the extension is because the federal government has actually not be able to create the process for an award in a timely fashion and they needed too more months and some additional few minutes were available that had not been spent if other grants and that is also the reason why they were up three hundred plus percentage those dollars will be brought ever to help the endemocrat live and work program. >> the second report from the resources you went p r c the

program actually is an employment training program broke down in 5 different parts that is really comes from different funding streams and - but they're all similar and i want for on the job training that is different and actually presented to the board of supervisors. their program reports for the past year were excellent they were all 4 and recommendations from a problematic startup we're comfortable is a considerable discussion kern we're we're do you go about the p r c and hitting and red list and informed they started massage reviews of those at high-risk and would be working with those

agrees to make sure they don't unbecome crises. so there is now a process going on to exact that group of potential problem contractors and i'll be working with. so it was nice to hear that that process is now underway and p r c last time actually complied with all the recommendations made last fall and staff continues to feel positive but there is an audit die for last year will be reviewed in april. so we'll continue to follow up that so the programs there are employment programs that are reviewed by us and recommended

to approve on the the clerk will open the voting system. and three contracts with the ucsf award and the ward 86 an increase in the annual difference for the following up for the getting to zero f's t d services. >> a new contract was with the ucsf for a different service and that is for the ucsf embrace program which is as equitable informed and culturally presentation and mental health care to serve the population that experiences disparity who are in the mental health program and there is a similar program

in several other agencies that are targeted for other populations that is targeting for those cared for under ucsf and as i mentioned the mental health program and a sub specialist that health program the one i discussed earlier to t m g coordinated and 4 different contractors in regards to working with ma material mental health and american populations hitting a different segment of whatever programs that ran would be helping find them the program to get them into this program

for administered and if they need more specialized to go into that with talked about the with the african-american program that general has we discussed that earlier today. so this one is for a one $.5 million for a year. along with a short year of funding and it is for a total of $9 million plus for 5 years and three months. >> so the committee recommendations approval of the contracts report and the new contract. >> thank you for that report any public comment. >> no public comment and any commissioner questions or comments. >> great. hearing none, move to consent agenda so heard all the items make a motion.

>> move to approve the consent agenda. >> i'll second. >> any public comment. >> no public comment. >> then we can take a vote. >> all in favor, say "aye." >> aye. >> the motion carries. and next item is other business. >> any other business. >> commissioners. >> no public comment. >> all right. >> then the next item is. >> 7. adjournment. moved. >> and second. >> all in favor, say "aye." >> aye. >> all right. we unanimously decided to adjourn thank you everyone. >> thank you alice and sfgovtv

>> alright. everybody. i'm san francisco mayor london breed. welcome to the innersunset! a wonderful community, a place where you can shop and dine and hang out and have a good time and a place that's extremely close to golden gate park and the botanical gardens. this is a special community. when i was supervisor for district 5, i represented this community. now, this is a part of district 7, so lucky you, visor myrna melgar, who is a biker, by the way. so, why are we here?

for the much anticipated automatic license plate readers that are going to be installed in a hundred locations around the city with 400 cameras in order to help us continue the great work of addressing public safety in san francisco. in fact, what we have seen recent months and all of 2023 has been a significant decline in crime in san francisco. in fact, 2023 was the lowest crime rate we have seen in 10 years, not including 2020 during our global pandemic where we had to shut the entire city down, so we should be proud of the work we've done. [applause] and that trend is still happening this year. we have

32 percent reduction in property crime and 16 percent reduction in overall violent crime and that has a lot to do with the extraordinary work of so many of our public safety officials that are joining us here today, including police chief bill scott and district attorney brooke jenkins. we appreciate all the amazing work they are doing. [applause] but just because it seems like things are getting better and the numbers are helping to tell that story doesn't mean we let up. we have to do everything we can to insure safety. so, when we are talking about car break-ins, and car theft, when we where talking about side-shows and other issues that happened in our city, automated license plate readers can play a invaluable role in helping us to track some of the perpetrators of these crimes, and hold them accountable.

this does not include speed cameras, it does not include facial recognition technology, but it will be useful for amber alerts as well as sometimes some of our elderly people who may have dementia or alzheimer's who might end up being missing. it will help us find people as well. it is extraordinary tool and we are really grateful for that. but let me say, because the voters pazed promsition a, i'm excited what that will mean for helping with surveillance technology and drone technology. well, you know how the police in los angeles i think they used to use helicopters instead will be using drone technology to help us combat a lot of issues as well. so, there is so much here and so much to be excited about, and we are well on our way to

continuing the efforts that we need to do to address public safety in san francisco and i'm proud of this and excited about what this means for the future of public safety in our city. and to talk a little more about the police role in helping us address crime and more importantly, how these automated license plate readers will be useful is our police chief bill scott. [applause] >> good morning and thank you mayor breed. i'll start with this, this is going to be a game-changer and want to thank mayor breed for her leadership and so many others who helped us get to this point. we got this grant and approval in october and 6 months later to introduce the cameras are up and not only up, they are up and operable today. that is an amazing accomplishment. [applause] so, today begins a new chapter

for san francisco in terms of our ability to fight crime. the city and county of san francisco is the tech capital of the world and now our officers have the technology that they need to better address the crime challenge in the itisy city and this is a very very exciting thing. over the next three months, these automated license plate readers go up throughout the city as mayor breed described. 400 cameras in hundred different locations, giving our officers incredible tools to catch criminals. this is all possible because the department secured a $15.3 million organized retail theft grant, but this grant does not limit us just to organized retail theft, because this will help us address all crimes. homicides, robbery, assault, car break in. this helps address all crimes, and thanks to mayor breed, this

was a expedited process. a lot of people had their hands in this. i was to give a special shout outd to ryan cowl for all his work putting this together. assistant chief david lazar and julia, the mayor staff. this was a team effort so let me end by saying a couple things. this city is a family and it takes multiple departments to address the challenges in the city. the san francisco public utility commission, sfmta, the sheriff who you will hear from shortly and district attorney, we are all a team, and we are going to work as a team to address challenges to continue to drive crime down and now we have a very very powerful set of tools to help do just that. think about this, over 70 percent of crime involve vehicles. over 70 percent of crime

involve vehicles. we have not had the ability starting today we have the ability to do which is track the vehicles, give officers advantage so we, we can catch people if they commit crimes in the city. we hope this will be a deterrent because san francisco a great city. we don't want people coming into our city committing crimes and people in our city commits crimes and if we do, we want to make sure we give our district attorney and her team the evidence they need to success fell prosecute these cases and we will be able to do that with this technology. crime has been dropping steadily this year and with this technology and our use of it, we think that tend will continue and think it will be expotential. i want to end by saying this, again, thank you mayor breed, thank you da jinkerns and thank you to the public. with your support it is morale booster for our department and

we get asked how to increase staffing shortage? meepal want to work with a department that has momentum and supported and believe me, our officers feel that support so thank you for everything you are doing to the public and again, thank you mayor breed for your leadership. with that, now we'll hear from our district attorney, brooke jenkins. [applause] >> thank you chief scott and thank you mayor breed. today is a great day in san francisco. it is exciting day in san francisco, because as law enforcement agencies we are being given additional tools to make sure that we can keep san francisco safe. the truth of the matter we are far behind the time to use technology to aid law enforcement velgz in the city and there have been road blocks for years that prevented the san francisco police department and other law enforcement agencies from able to have the resources necessary to solve

cases and prosecute those quhoo commit crime in the sit a eand this is a sign today that those days are over. we are moving forward as a city to make sure that people who commit crime in not only are caught, but when they are prosecuted they are convicted. as the district attorney i really want to stress the importance of the amount of evidence that we need in 2024 to prove that someone is guilty of a crime. our jurors in san francisco want to be assured that if they are voting guilty in a case that they are convicting the appropriate person who is cullpable for the conduct and a part of presenting adequate evidence is making sure we have all of the technological resources to prove to them not only the conduct committed, but that we have the charge the appropriate person who committed that conduct. these cameras are going to assist in aid in our ability in the court room to do just that,

so again, i'm very thankful to not only the state for providing the resources through the organize said retail theft grant to purchase the cameras but thankful to the city of san francisco to make sure this is something that happened today because at the end of the day the way we are going to solve the most pressing public safety issues in san francisco is not just through arrest, it is through making sure people are held accountable after that arrest in the courtroom. they have consequence and the goal is that as that word spreads, people will understand that they cannot do that here. that functions as a deterrent to those thinking about coming here to rob our most vulnerable and break into our cars, commit theft in the stors because now they understand we have the tools to catch them and to prosecute them. so again, i stand with everybody's up here smiling because this moves our city

forward to make sure we restore a sense of safety here. at this time, i'm going to turn it over to our sheriff, paul miyamoto. [applause] >> good morning everyone. to add to what has been said, by all the partners in public safety, one of the best things to happen here is not just the partnership and enhancement sof that for our local authorities and also the fact we can share information at the state level with our regional partners. we are not an island in san francisco and connected to other counties and as people commit crimes and move on our corridors, the traffic corridors they move to different places. we always had a problem with people coming here to commit crimes as mentioned by the chief. one of these tools will help us and bridge the other regional assets to really track and hold people ap countable as they do types of crimes that bridge

different counties. one other thing very beneficial for, as you can see and as we talk about the camera jz look up and see them, we are not going to have officers on the street every day to slow the traffic down, to have people obey traffic laws, this is a deturnlts. it is not just the work we do but having on the street in the public and have people be safe. my kids were on the corner sells things for the high school fund razor and have traffic and have people see things like this to know the information we share with the public at press conferences like this to know we are keeping people safe is the most important thing and we can't do that without the support of the community but the people that help with the budget and money and process. as the mayor mentioned, this whole system has been streamlined for us to get to this point. some people that assisted in that have been our district supervisors and at this time i

like to introduce district supervisor myrna melgar. [applause] >> thank you sheriff. i'll be brief. i wanted to make a couple points. this is wonderful use of technology and a appropriate use of technology and i want to thank the mayor so much for just being a leader in this. all of san francisco, right here in silicon valley could use this kind of initiative. it is cost effective and it allows us to focus our staff, wonderful police department on what they do best, strategy and able to analyze when a wrong has been committed, rather then you know, having folks be there all the time watching when wrongs are not committed. i'm grateful for that. but the second thing i wanted to say, i'm grateful we are

paying special attention to this corridor in this corner. as you can see, it is really busy. we have had our struggles with retail theft on this corridor and it is super important. we have ucsf parnassus behind us and golden gate park, so people come here, get off our trains and go to golden gate park where the county fairgrounds is in this corner is usually very very busy. there have been hit and runs and all kinds of things that having a camera here would be really really helpful in making supporting safety and supporting the community feeling safe. so, i'm very grateful for the attention. i'm so happy we are moving forward with this kind of technology, and grateful for the partnership of the merchants and folks in the community who support safety in the community. it is my pleasure to introduce somebody who has been a partner and continues to do the work

every day. our chair of our merchant association, susanna wise. >> thank you supervisor. as a member of the small business community, i am all too familiar safety and security challenges whether they are retail crimes, smash and grabs or broken windows plague our businesses trying to stay afloat. i want to express gratitute to the sfpd and all city partners represented here today for hard work, collaboration and dedication keeping our community safe and helping our community, commercial corridors thrive. and finally, i like to thank mayor breed for her vision and her commitment to all of us who live, work and care about san francisco for implementing innovative solutions such as these cameras that can have lasting benefits for our community for years to come.

and, now i like to introduce josh thomas the senior vice president of policy and communications from lock safety. [applause] >> thank you. my name is josh thomas. i work for safety and i are want to say quickly that, as a company we build hardware and write software providing the evidence to solve crime. what you heard today is a incredible testament to this city moving all in the same direction. you heard this from the mayor who i want to give thank you to the mayor and her administration. [applause] it is easy for people talk about wanting to do things and difficult to execute those things and you see the mayor deliver on her promise time and again so thank you mayor for continuing to do that frathe city. i'm from the bay area, i was born here. i met my spouse in the city. my first apartment was a couple blocks away. i really love this city and i love seeing everybody working

together for the purposes of trying to keep it safe and doing it in a way that is respectful of the values of this city. you heard from supervisor melgar. it is important we have good policy to keep us in line and make sure this technology is used safely and effectively and that's what we'll do. weep polk give chief scott and the team the tools they need to solve more crime and bring crime rates down. thank you for the opportunity, thank you for welcoming us in san francisco and let's build a safer community together. thanks everybody. [applause] >> thank you so much josh and i also like to acknowledge and welcome supervisor joel engardio and thank him for his work and advocacy on the issue as well. well, with that, make sure you guys go eat in this neighborhood at the various restaurants and just take in the sites. ambience is a favorite store.
