period from august to september. homicides were down from six to 3. rapes were down from 11 to 10. robbery's were even, 236. aggravated assaults were up from 263 to 271. property crimes were down from four heart of 34 to 231. auto thefts, 350 to 317. arsons were down 18%. personal theft was down 21% from 1213 to 959. also, we have compared our crime

stats for a week. the week been from some timber 12 to september 18 compared to our september 19 until september 25. in that week, homicides were down 100%. down from two to zero. rates were down 25%, from four to three. aggravated assaults were up 43%, % 58to 83. on the property side, blurb reason for down. auto pact was down 47%, from 97 to 48. arsons were down 80%, from 5 to 1. personal theft was also down from 244 to 183. we also have crime stats for

part 2 crimes. assaults and batteries, not domestic violence related, up 4%, 283 to 293. embezzlements were down 29%, 229 to 205. weapons and firearms violations was down 8%, 26 to 24. sex crime were up 27%, from 30 to 38. this is excluding rape and prostitution. narcotics related drug laws were up 5% from 361 to 380.

possession of burglary tools, down from 248 to 228. incidences of graffiti and vandalism, down 9%. mental health detention were up 12%. in instances where people either exist -- resisted or delayed the police officer, up 7%, from 30 to 32. those are our crime stats for the last four weeks. >> colleagues, any questions? supervisor mirkarimi. supervisor mirkarimi: good morning. thank you very much for helping to integrate some of the part to information. -- two information. i just want to extend our

compliments to sfpd, the community's working with them, for doing what they are due to lower the crimes in the part 1 categories, especially. the fruits of our labor are evident. beyond the khartoum that is -- be on the part two that is identified, what does sfpd identified the other crimes as? there is a significant dearth of many other so-called miscellaneous crimes. how is that classified for the lay person to understand? is it just based on each crime onto itself, is there a part 3? >> i believe the way the stats are capped, each individual crime is kept. however, in part two, we took out the most significant ones, the one that had the highest numbers, incidences that are

unusual. though cannot be captured because the numbers are so small. our crime analysis unit felt that these were the main part two crimes that we should be reporting on. supervisor mirkarimi: just to reconcile that notion, if there was any crime whatsoever, if it is even perceived as a crime, i would say, by numbers, quality of life violations would far exceed all other categories. quality of life violations are reported to be in the thousands, but when we are trying to seek status on this question from sfpd, it is slightly a moving target. so i would love to understand

station by station, it in totality, what are those numbers? [applause] >> i believe in the past, i have brought those numbers, but i do not have them now. i can get them for you. quality of life crimes are a conglomerate of a number of different violations. most of them have been reported to the sfpd. those are the ones that we track, the ones that we are taking action on. supervisor mirkarimi: because the numbers seem to be substantial, at least that is what is anecdotally reported by the press. there is a columnist here and they're suggesting this. it really is a significant number. therefore, the interpretation is we have a loss for it -- officers that are spending a lot of time writing citations for

those violations. i just think it is important to line up those statistics that were missing in the discussion. >> i will make sure in my next report i bring those extractions to you. >> and you can walk us through how that is administered. that would be great. supervisor chiu: just to add to that, i know in the conversation that we had previously, a lot of us had requested information on quality of life. we never got a response, so i would add to super bears and mirkarimi, that we are happy to ask -- supervisor mirkarimi, that we are happy to ask for this information. in "the chronicle" there was some mention of these quality of life crimes, and your department

had not given us information around what the numbers look like. one question i have is you have a category of mental health detection. can you talk about what gets bundled into those numbers? >> to be honest with you, it says mental-health detention. i believe, those are the 51 detentions since the general hospital. they are basically -- whenever an officer responds to an incident where a subject is deemed to be a danger to himself or others, are then taken to the hospital for observation, rather than arrest. >> so we supervisor chiu: dick -- supervisor chiu: so where do these quality of life violations fall into? >> this is the first time i have

had part two in this format. i have responded in the past with part two crimes, in a different format, and i could add in quality of life. i can pass on that information. i do not know where the mental health issuance and quality of life -- i am not part of the -- supervisor chiu: you have hundreds of citations given on the sidewalk. where do we see that? >> it is not captured in this report. supervisor chiu: you just said all of these crime were buried under part 2. >> in this particular report, the obstruction of sidewalk, quality of life is not captured in this report. supervisor chiu: ok, that is what we have been interested in. if possible, provide us with a

full part to to see what the trends look like. that would be very helpful. >> i will see if we can add those to our profile. supervisor chiu: other questions, colleagues? let me see if there is public comment. if you could step up to the podium. each speaker will have up to two minutes to speak. first speaker please. >> my name is christine harris. i respectfully request the city of san francisco to investigate my perpetrators. the president of 720 york street, san francisco, california, her husband peter davis was a lawyer for an international law firm. the property manager, her sgt husband. the crimes against me are the use of directed energy weapons, burning all my vital organs.

i have had to fight to stay alive. organized stalking. psychotronic. the towing of my car to install a gps system. wiretapping of my phone lines. please investigate tim anderson as well. he created a group called terror, stalking groups. tim anderson may be the control of this technology. these are heinous crimes against humanity. supervisor chiu: thank you. next speaker please. >> good morning. my name is douglas yep. i would like to applaud the previous speaker. i think she was very brave to

say what she said. we do not know what is true or not, but i think one questions need to be asked, people need to be brave enough to ask them, especially in front of the board of supervisors. secondly, i would like to say my normal appeal for asian victims of crime, especially when the suspects are city and county employees. according to my experience, for the past four years, i think many people have said a lot of high support for victims. when it comes to actually helping them, i am disappointed. i think most people feel the chinese are not going to oppose the treatment they get, but i would hope many other chinese follow my example and just keep on plugging away.

eventually, maybe we can change them into cooperation. thirdly, i would like to say the fraud detail at the sfpd need more support. my neighbors and i are still trying to follow up on an important case involving our neighborhood, but with the work overload, we cannot get any answers, so i guess we have to sit patiently and see what ever happens to this case, since it involves influential citizens of district 7. my last comment is, in terms of crime in san francisco, we need to act more forcefully against people who tried to intimidate others. intimidation has been an under stressed crime issue. from my own experience, i feel like to many people attempt intimidation -- thank you.

supervisor chiu: thank you, next speaker. >> my name is francisco dacosta. one of the main purposes of the meeting is for the constituents at home to get an idea of what is happening around the city and county of san francisco. i want to bring your attention to a document where one of the supervisors participated and spent $400,000 regarding community policing. so it is ok for us to spend $400,000 on this document, but from time to time, we need to get empirical data and reports, as to what is happening with that document. at one time, the captain of the area where this document was

implemented was captain lazard. he is now a commander. that leads me to bring youto yor attention as to what is happening with our chain of command in the san francisco police department. i think so -- you should know, anything about the organization, if there is a flux. where there is no leadership, we cannot attain our goals. finally, what i see happening here is, this safety
