talk to us. we put together a profile. the commission worked very hard to reach the selection that was forwarded this morning. it was a great experience for me. it is an incredible body with different opinions. based upon experience working with law enforcement, at some point in their career. it was an incredible process and we afforded some very strong candidates. i wanted to thank the commissioners. i wanted to share that with you. commissioner kingsley: we would like to thank you as our president. you took the largest portion of this workload on yourself and we appreicate yo -- appreciate

your leadership. commissioner marshall: i just wanted to say -- can i think you from all of the commissioners that also had to do that? it is a deliberative body. i want to thank all of us -- you from all of us. president mazzucco: any other reports? announcements? >> none at this time. >> scheduling of future items. >> identified for consideration at the future commission meeting. commissioner chan: i will let you know that next week will be

gone. it is the second meeting i have missed. the reason i will be in memphis is because of the 14 mental health stakeholders and the department. the only way to get it done is to see it happen over there. we will have several doctors on the trip. i would like to ask that we schedule the report back on the timeline, the crisis intervention unit timeline for april 6. it is a little bit later. i already have a detailed timeline. does that work? the community policing resolution. i will make sure it is included in the packet to support the public safety committee cosy discussion -- committee's

discussion. commissioner kingsley: i would like to confirm the date that we are going to discuss the commission's priorities. we started to initially discuss it at our retreat last october. that date is coming out. the last meeting in march. >> march 30. >> do all the commissioners believe that they will be able to make that meeting? ok. thank you. commissioner dejesus: i'm glad mr. mahoney is here. i lost track of 8.10 and 5.2 or 5.3. the first amendment activities

and the religious -- i want to try to get back on track with where we were on that. we don't have to pick a date now, but maybe you and i could talk to let commissioner mazzucco know. president mazzucco: i understand you are in the writing process. >> we have accepted all the changes that were offered by coalitions of san francisco, so it is just going through the process. that is where that is added. for my purposes, it is a done deal. there are different stakeholders in our department. we are very close to it. we can certainly set a date to talk about it. >> there are certain stakeholders in the community

that are waiting to see where the department is. commissioner hammer: thank you, president mazzucco. as a commission, we spend a lot of time on the dna backlog. i worked with supervisor alioto-pier. it has been a couple of months, so i would like to hear an update to see if that is happening now. yet the department was instructed to come up with regulations regarding the testing of other sexual assault cases. the deadline was march. if the chiefs could report to the commission on what is the status of dna testing. what have they done to fulfill the legislative mandate to set a time lines for other testing and dna samples? if march 30 is available, it

would be a relatively short report. some months ago, before we got sidetracked by the election, we were working on a special issue. we owe it to them. and others, i think they have filed a response with the police commission. it has been around for a while. we can take a day in april. i am open to whatever they -- date. president mazzucco: we have been working on that issue for quite awhile. what is a good day for us to talk about it? who is now working with us or monitoring the patrol specials? who do you have assigned? >> i will get back to you tomorrow, i am not sure who the liaison is.

part of his responsibilities is to see the reserves. president mazzucco: if we can have him meet with us and come to the commission, what is a good time for us to do -- >> any date in april. so they are not surprised. i have the 13th if people are amenable. president mazzucco: april 13 it is. commissioner hammer: i have one last item. at the direction of the rest of the commission, to update our rules on hearing officers. i have a draft ready to go. commissioner kingsley has a much bigger project she is starting on. those are ready to go. those are good tweaks. we met with boa a few months

ago. i think march 30 is essentially a consent item. perhaps we can look at those. >> under the charter, you will need to do 10 days notice. i just wanted to make sure. >> today is -- so it's 14 days out? if it's okay for march 30 to have those in place. >> i'm fine with that bill. if it is ready, e-mail it to us. commissioner hammer: would it be possible to e-mail that to the commissioners tomorrow? >> since the occ has not seen the draft, but the boa has, i would like to weigh in that we would like to see the draft as well.

they have not been involved in the drafting. hollywood like to see them well before the meeting. >> we have not seen anything. we are waiting for the department. >> that was an unintentional oversight. i am sure that we will work it out. >> i would like to remind that this is the third wednesday of the month. this is the discipline night? i don't think we have been able to successfully pair down the discipline. >> we try. >> i know we try. we have the best of intentions, we have not done it yet. looking ahead to the third wednesday in april, let us try as much as we can to pull it

off. i would like to see it once. president mazzucco: i heard an amen back there. any public comment? >> good evening, the director of san francisco opened government. just two comments. actually, three. the director's comments on the decrease in the number of investigators is obviously on spot. if you have 17 and you go down to 12, they are not going to be beating the bushes to get more cases because it will be hard for them to handle the cases they have. unfortunately, the other comment i would like to make, i faililed

a complaint. six months later, i got a letter that was rather sloppy. it basically said that the charges are sustained. that was the total involvement. the only purpose of going through occ is if you plan on filing a lawsuit. it is required of you go through occ first. i would never go through it just to go through it. if you watch the increasing statistics, 2009 is greater than 2010. that is an ongoing trend. the whole process of the selection of the chief, i am not concerned about it at this

point. the new mayor, they will have a chance to select a new chief i january. -- in january. they wanted to make sure they were fully ready to deal with the problems, and what was cited were the 600 cases plus. having to do with the drug testing lab and the cases this messed relating to warrantless searches taken over by the fbi. if there is anything that speaks for keeping these hearings good and open, if you don't do it sooner or later, the feds will get involved. when they do, it is a real ball

of wax. i speak from experience having to work for the commander in chief in charge of all armed forces in the pacific side of the world. lastly, i have gone through the documentation from your retreat. [chime] president mazzucco: any further public comment? >> commissioners, good evening. i am a resident of the city and county of san francisco. i have spoken to you before. i only have a couple of items to speak about in relation to the points that were made earlier. i have, on record with this department and with the occ the request for documents based on the racial makeup of the police officers.

going back a number of years. they have refused to turn that information over to me. it relates to off sir -- officer ortega. to put it before you, when you don't have detectives to solve crimes, you are wasting time on charges against mr. ortega. it is not clear where the gray line is, and i can tell you as a taxi driver, all of the bars south of market are oral sex bars. why don't you put a policemen in each of those and waste yoru ur time. you waste your time on stuff that is not fit to put on paper.

the charges that i filed with this mess -- would dismiss. [unintelligible] only to find out a year and a half later. an officer was a member of the sfpd and has moreultiple occ complaints. last but not least, i listened to the statistics on crime and the shortage of investigators. i saw no documents here at the commission. i don't know why that takes place. you don't have someone that takes case -- takes place. you can't look at one lousy statistics. are we stupid? what is taking place here?

it is one big course and pony show. i don't want the information i need from the san francisco examiner and the sf weekly. i don't get any information here. when you are supposed to be on top of this, the ones that have been here in the past year, the ones that have been here for the last number of months. i thank you for your time. president mazzucco: call the next line. >> public comment on all items in closed session. including public comment on whether to hold items in closed session. >president mazzucco: these are police officer personnel matters. these are privileged in the police officers' bill of rights. any public comment regarding

that? gosh the director of san francisco open government. i would like to get some clarification on an earlier comment allowing certain people to support an officer to participate in those? i am wondering if i heard that correctly. the you will allow people that supported an officer in other circumstances, would never let somebody who is against the officer inside. president mazzucco: counsel for the officer has agreed to stipulate for the police department to allow an abundance of caution given that we have a very heavy schedule tonight to lead those representing a particular officer to stand out in support of that officer. there was a waiver from both the police officers association and the officer himself. >> they are not attending the

actual hearing. president mazzucco: if he invites them in, then they may. it is his privilege. any further public comment? we have a vote. >> i so move. president mazzucco: all in favor? thank you. we will take a five-minute recess. >> we are back in session. we still have a quorum.

item #8 is a vote to elect whether to disclose any or all discussion on item 7 in closed session. >> move for nondisclosure. president mazzucco: we need public comment. good evening, capt.. >> these are my comments, but i am also representing a number of community workers that were here in the audience earlier. i was asked earlier what i needed, and i said nothing. i would like to amend that on behalf of the community workers and myself. i want to mention that i need that package from whence he came. we are anxious to get ash back. president mazzucco: any further

public comment? hearing none, call the next item. >> item 14, adjournment. president mazzucco: public comment? do i have a motion? >> good morning, everybody.
