[laughter] >> item 1, our review of recent activities, the chief's report. president mazzucco: good evening, chief. i believe we have some activities over the past week. >> prior to yielding the major portion of my time to capt. mahoney, we had a number of

events. the pride parades to place of the weekend. they were very peaceful and very well attended. great blandon by mission station personnel. unfortunately, about the same time we were enjoying a relatively happy, but peaceful celebration up in castro, we had a shooting on the 1000 blog of market street. five victims were caught in the middle of two rival gangs, were one of the gang members opened fire and unfortunately hits innocent victims, as well as one of the people he was aiming at. suspects from both gangs were taken into custody. firearms from both kings were taken into custody. and we got a full confession from the shooter and another admission from the other gang member as to what went on and

his involvement. i believe all have been released from the hospital at this time. later on in the week, we had a homicide in bayview. of 27-year-old man was killed at san bernal and paul. that investigation is ongoing. and then this morning, we had an officer-involved shooting at about 8:00 a.m. between eddy and ellis. officers were seeking a karoly believed to be in possession of an assault rifle he fired at least one time last week. he was also wanted for a $5,000 warrant out of san francisco.

he was exiting a driveway in a vehicle at the time. the officers attempted to block him in. the suspect fired upon the officers with a handgun that he was in possession of. the officers returned fire, and the suspect then would across the street in collided with a parked vehicle. officers rendered medical aid, took him into custody, called for medical aid. they responded. he is recovering from his injuries. i believe his condition has been upgraded to stable at general hospital. in addition to the handgun he fired on the officers, inside the car there was the suspected assault rifle. i believe -- i do not have the exact number -- i believe there were 40 rounds in extended magazine. and with that, i will yield the rest of my time to capt.

mahoney. >> the captain is line item #two. we will move on to the occ director's report. any questions for the chief? i think the officer should be commended -- the officers should be commended. i think the officers should be commended for their hard work. it is greatly appreciated. >> thank you. i will relay the sentiment. also, neither of the officers today were injured. >> that is great news. anything further for the chief? ok, we moon -- we move on to line item b. president mazzucco: good evening, director. how are you? >> very well.

i am joyce hicks, the director of citizen complaints. also with me, my colleague who will be here this evening to answer any questions you may have. id is a pleasure to be here this evening to speak about the occ. the occ is the third largest civilian oversight of law enforcement in the united states coming -- in nine states, only surpassed in -- in the united states, only surpassed in new york and one other place. in 1982 -- it became operational in 1983. the occ was originally an office inside the police department, but it later became independence

and served under the supervision of the police commission, which is a billion, also. the office of citizen complaints investigates civilian complaints against san francisco police officers, and we also make policy recommendations for the san francisco police department policies and practices. in california, law enforcement agencies must have procedures to investigate complaints by members of the public against peace officers. the office of citizens complain serves that function for the san francisco police department. the occ is staffed by a diverse group of civilians who have never served as a san francisco police officers. some have served as law enforcement officers in other agencies. the occ has 35 staff members,

the majority of which are investigators. there are attorneys and support staff. the goal of the occ is to increase public trust in law enforcement by being the bridge between the public and the police in matters of police conduct as well as peace policy. to that end, the occ's mission is to ensure accountability by conducting fair, timely, and unbalanced investigations and making recommendations on police policies and practices. when we conduct an investigation, we do so to find out what happened. we follow the evidence. once we complete the investigation, we make a finding of whether the police officer violated any state or federal law or whether the conduct was proper. if after the investigation, the occ finds the officer violated

the rule, we forward our findings to achieve greg suhr for action. this can result in up to 10 days suspension. the police commission has jurisdiction over cases recommending penalties exceeding 10 days suspension. to give you facts and figures -- first of all, we provide mediation as an alternative to discipline. that represents 6% of the 812 cases be closed last year. the mediation program allows us to resolve the case and a dispute resolution format, and the goal is to bring the involved parties together, the officer and the civilian, in an effort to achieve mutual understanding. we have a partnership with the

community board and the san francisco bar association, and these two organizations provide neutral mediators for the mediation. our mediation can be conducted in languages other than english. our mediation program is voluntary and that both the officer and the complainant must agree before the meeting can occur. participation in the mediation program is at 96%. san francisco has the highest per-capita mediation of similar programs in the united states. to share a few more statistics about the occ and the complaints it received in 2010 and how we resolve those complaints. in 2010, the occ received 854 complaints. it does represent a 16%

reduction in complaints we receive in 2009 when we receive 1018 complaints. last year, the occ said sustained allegations in 9% of the cases we close. we found proper conduct in 29% of the cases investigated. and we found that 3% of the allegations were not true or unfounded. when we look at the types of complaints we have received, unwarranted actions represent 35% of the allegations and the complaints we received last year. this is followed by conduct reflecting miss credits. 27% of the allegations. unnecessary force comprised only 10% of the allegations. and the sustained rate for unnecessary force was only 2% of the cases. approximately 26% of the

complainants were african- american. caucasians comprise another 32% of the complainants. 18% refused to stay there raise. latino represented 12%. native americans and pacific islanders 2%. the occ is located on the corner of van ness and market. we receive walken complaints regarding the police conduct from the public -- walk-in complaints regarding the police conduct from the public. we have an answering service for after hours complaints. the staff speaks several languages including cantonese, mandarin, burmese, and spanish. we will obtain interpretation

services for other languages. you can also file a complaint at your district police station and personnel will forward the complaint to the occ. as a said earlier, if you want more information about the office of citizen complaints is deepening, senior investigator mcmahon is in the office. that concludes my remarks this evening. president mazzucco: thank you. commissioners, do you have anything to discuss with the director this evening? hearing none. thank you for giving us an idea of what the -- the occ what does on a daily basis. we're trying to move cases along faster. the occ has been very helpful in getting their investigations it done sooner than in the past. under director picks, it has been a great change -- director hicks, it has been a great

change. just letting the committee know a lot of that our work has been done by director hicks. >> thank you. >> item 1.c. the commission president's report. >president mazzucco: i do not have anything to report tonight. commissioners, do you of anything to report on? hearing none, let's call for public comments. commission announcements -- are there any commission announcements? >> item 1.d is commission announcements. president mazzucco: anything we need to schedule at this time? vice president marshall: mr. president, i would like to calendar for july 20 at a presentation by the office of immigrants on the community

ambassador program, which is coming back. we might even have an appearance by vincent. we could actually bring the ambassadors in the -- in. if i could just have that after -- added to the agenda. president mazzucco: that would be a great idea. how does our agenda look for july 20, bobby? >> largely it is the reports. president mazzucco: that will be perfect. that dovetails what we're doing about the community policing. that is a mid-level approach. great idea. thank you. that is on for the 20th. is there any public comment about these reports as you heard? next we will hear from capt. mahoney. is there any public comment on these matters? hearing none, public comment is closed.

oh, yes, sir. of course, sir. come to the podium over here. >> [unintelligible] president mazzucco: is there regarding an item taking place ingleside station or here. >> [unintelligible] president mazzucco: ok. >> my name is joe. i am a political petitioner. i register people to vote. in the past couple of months, we've been collecting signatures for the ballot for november and next year. in the last two months -- actually in the last couple days -- we have encountered a great deal problems. not a great deal of problems, but problems with the police station. they have a shopping center with

a trader joe's, a borders, and the last couple months, my interactions with the police have gone from general dislike for a certain initiative to intimidation and conduct unbecoming an officer. we have filed complaints with the occ, cases 297-11. yesterday, it was essentially a flat out refusal on the part of the surgeons. -- sergeants. it has gone to a point where it is a flat out refusal on his part to
