vice-president mazzucco: present. commissioner dejesus: present. commissioner chan: present. >> james hammer is excused this evening. all seceded is the assistant chief of police and also as someone from the office of citizen complaints. >> good evening, ladies and gentlemen. this is the meeting of the san francisco police commission for wednesday, september 22. we have a lot of items tonight in closed session. we will get to them as quickly as possible. we will move things around a little bit. he will call item one. >> item 1 is general public comment. this is where members of the public may addressed the commission.

these are items that do not otherwise appear on the commission. >> you have three minutes. >> members of the police commission, i am the director of san francisco open government. i happen to be a gentleman that took the police department to the sunshine ordinance task ordinance for failure to follow the sunshine ordinance. the police department does not like the sunshine ordinance. it does not like anybody delving into anything that is their business without their knowledge and approval. about three years ago, i tried to get a couple of other documents. i made about 20 different phone calls to my local precinct. i have a whole bunch of officers and staff members who had no

understanding of sunshine. they ask me questions like, who are you? why do you want it? if they did not approve of what i said, they hung up on me. one told me to go f myself. they require a listing of all of the documents that they keep as a matter of public record. public records do not belong to your department. they do not belong to any individual officers. they are the property of the citizens and county of san francisco. after 10 years from 1999-2009, when i found out that there was nothing on the index of records, i filed the complaints. after a long, drawn-out battle, i finally got determinations that you and the police

department were in violation of the law. there is something in place on the web site. if you read the section of the ordinance, it in no shape, way, manner, or form does what the law requires. you are law officers. you are supposed to ensure that the law is adhered to. whether you like the sunshine ordinance or not, it was passed by the citizens of san francisco. getting access to documents at the police department should not be the struggle that it is. you have one telephone number with which you can get information. everything else is kept secret. i would be willing to bet that 90% of what you have would have no problem with members of the public previewing or seeing those. there is no way for members of the public to access those

documents without going through a lot of hassle and sometimes having their rights denied to have it. you are under oath to uphold the a constitution of the united states. you violate not only their civil, but their constitutional rights. >> next speaker please. >> hello. i have always come here to talk about mind control weapons. the threat has greatly escalated. as i informed you guys through visits, some police officers, look at how serious this is,

police officers have been attacked. i have told reilly, james, jim, investigations, i have spoken to a lot of other people. sergeants and police officers alike. nothing has happened regarding this matter. nothing at all. the main person who was working on this, officer kelly dunn is not here. she has missed appointments. i want you to understand that one person is not doing find due to their thoughts and actions being affected by the weapon. it is not working out at all. i do not know what you are doing.

these are horribly tortured people. they are really tortured people. there are some cases of homicide from various accounts and everything like this. this is not right at all. we have had this for the last three or five years. there is no help whatsoever. now they are attacking. even before, they are attacking police, fbi, and military personnel. the threat is greatly escalated. i want you all to realize that you have to do something about this now. the main person in charge of this, it is not showing up. she basically cannot do her job. she will not be able to think. i want you to know how you are going to combat this threat.

i have a death threat regarding this case. this is something that is insanely serious. nothing is happening. please do something about it quickly. i cannot stress this any further. your officers are not fine at all. >> further public comment? seeing none, thank you. lt.. call item two, please. >> reports to the commission. discussion item. >> good evening. hello, president marshall. how are you? president marshall: good. how are you? >> as of today to what we have

36 homicides. violent crime is down 5%. this is as of september 18. property crimes down about 10%. this year, we have had 22,272. we are down 9% on part one crimes. do we want to have the capt. do his presentation now? >> yes. >> good evening, commissioners. i apologize. i could not give notice. we will try to do better.

i am here to briefly address the crime situation in the area of the mission district. the dwelling and the surrounding area is located. as you can see, the dwelling is in this sector of the district. this is the southeast portion of the district. there has been a slight increase in crime in the four-car sector. that has not been a real significant. districtwide, robberies were down 14% this month as opposed to the previous month. that is down by 25%.

there were eight robberies last month in the sector. four of them, arrests were made. we are working hard to eliminate robberies altogether. of those robberies, only two were robbery's with which a gun was displayed. assaults, five incidents this month as opposed to the previous month. in the district, it increased from two incidents to six incidents. one thing i would like to attribute this to is the fact that we have saturated the area with a lot of high-visibility patrol cars and.

we are getting to some of these fights quicker. in the past, we did not get there quick enough. combatants when both directions and there was no aggravated assault. the common threat is that the victims are very uncooperative. burglaries, we only had one burglary in the sector this month, as opposed to three the previous month. the major tool that has been very effective at reducing the gang violence in this area has been the civil gang induction. most dramatically, you could corroborate that by pointing out that in 2008, there were 16

homicides in the mission district. last year, there were four homicides in the mission district. we attribute a great deal of responsibility to that dramatic drop to the civil gang in debt -- civil gang in junction. the tactics that we are utilizing right now to make the area safe for is to have less drug operations, robbery abatement operations where we use the call is. one such operation is going on as we speak. putting a decollate out there to see -- a decoy out there to see, giving a those that would rob an opportunity to do so.

we have permanent assigned beat officers in the area so that the citizenry can meet the beat officers and develop a relationship with them. our secret and most important weapon in dealing with this is my plainclothed sergeant, who i am going to ask to come up and talked about the situation regarding some still will that is their right now. he could best explained that. mario is the foremost latino gang expert in the area. >> good evening, commissioners.
