>> somebody called me about information. i have an account at a bank. they told me they are from the bank, they need some information about money going back home. i said you should ask the bank. he said, i want to know from you. i said i cannot do anything for you. the fbi said they need information about how you send money back home. my mama's sick and i send her money. after that, after the conversation, they went into my account and they held my money for a week. after that, the guy called me and said i need that information about how you send money back home.

and they have my cell phone number. president mazzucco: maybe you could give that to somebody from occ. the fbi has no jurisdiction over occ, but i see somebody from occ. maybe you could give her that number. next speaker, please? thank you. any further public comment? hearing none, public comment is now closed. this will be the last speaker. i just closed public comment. >> if there is anyone else who wants to give public comment, please line up. president mazzucco: speaker, go ahead. >> i attended uc-berkeley. what attending school, got a call from an fbi agent, told me he was an fbi agent. i did not believe that at the

beginning. i was like, why would he want to meet with me? then he kept calling me for the whole week. danny asked to see me. he came to school. -- then he asked to see me. he came to school. this is just my story. we came here as international students. i pay over $50,000 to the school. with that, i got bothered by the fbi. i know three of my friends who have left the country because of this. they were afraid. we did not know what they want from us. we have heard stories about people going to jail for no reason. it is unfair profiling, which is not supposed to happen. he came, asked me a few questions. i will be honest, he was somewhat nice. he asked my name, why i am here,

what i am doing here. questions he could have gotten from facebook if he had just googled my name. that bothered me, scared me, to be honest. i think that is it. president mazzucco: thank you very much. any further public comment? hearing none, public, it is now closed. thank you very much. ladies and gentlemen, i will have the chief respond to this, if you do not mind. the chief has a response regarding the efforts that have been made. the fbi letter? while the chief is waiting for the letter, i want to thank everybody for coming tonight. we do hear the concerns. what we do it as the police commission, we are civilian oversight. we have general orders against racial profiling. we a general orders against

violating civil rights. we protect civil rights. that is what we do. that is what we do as a civilian oversight body and we have general orders to do that. concerns were the jttf and m.o.u., and i agree that it is a terrible term, but this chief went out and did a bureau order to make sure that our officers follow our san we will continue to do that and i will turn it over to the chief. >> within a week of my becoming chief and having been at the joint human rights committee meeting i have prepared a bureau order which tightened up all the language, meaning that policies and procedures of the san francisco police department or the city and county of san francisco trump, if you will, whatever is in the mou when it

comes to actions of san francisco police officers. strictly speaking, the more restrictive policy with regard to participating in the gtf, whether it be the federal rule or the city and county of san francisco rule, is what the san francisco police department will be held accountable to. to that end, special agent douglas offered a letter on september 28 that the activities of the jttf and sac douglas stated that the san francisco police department may provide general orders. a further sentence says that the right to retain -- the right to assign jttf cases but will assure that the sfppd does not

received a case inconsistent with general orders. we are working to see how we can incorporate it. basically, this chief will not alter this bureau order without the cooperation and input from this group. however, to make it more restrictive, we are working to make sure that the general orders, which are permanent policy, that the chief of police cannot alter without input from the community and this commission to make them more secure, more restrictive of a policy. we are committed to the equal protection of everyone under the law. commissioner slaughter: thank you. thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules in the evening to come and speak to us. i appreciate it and i know the commissioner appreciates it. i want to add onto one thing

that the chief said. as to, and this is just my view, i am not speaking on behalf of the commission, as to the option of simply opting out, not only is portland a different city with potential different threats, but the portland police are not members of the jttf. in the suggestion that we could opt out and remain members of the jttf is not accurate. my personal view is that it is important for our officers to be able to -- in order -- if there is a bomb threat, of our officers need to have a timely access for information to the coordinate responses. -- to help coordinate responses. i would counsel people against seeing the portland model as a

solution. i think we have a better solution here, which is making sure our officers, when they are assigned to participate in the jttf, do so under our guidelines and consistent with our values and general orders. that is what we have here. i think it is better than what borland has and it has something to do, in large part, because of the pressure which fell from a the community to make sure our officers respect our values. thank you for coming out and speaking tonight. president mazzucco: dr. marshall? vice president marshall: that was my only comment. >> i have a question but i will hold it for the police report. president mazzucco: thank you for coming out. we are going to do the best we can do to protect you.

please call the next item. >> item 2a is the police report and review a recent activities. >> good morning. we have a busy time since our next meeting. -- since our last meeting. we suffered a few homicides since our last meeting. probably the most upsetting, not at all, are not equally upsetting, but it was an officer-involved shooting at around 7:00. we had a community meeting last night and i appreciate commissioner chan and commissioner was to go being there -- president mazzucco being there. there was a stabbing. officers responded and found mr. wu outside, bleeding severely

from his left hand, wrapped in a towel. it was a very severe injury. he had a knife in his and that he had just taken from his son who was on an attack. officers called for the beanbag gun and moved contact to make sure there were no other victims upstairs. had they discovered that mr. wu's son had been alone, that would have stood down. as they reached the top of the stairs, they saw mrs. wu, who had been stabbed more times than general hospital could count. bleeding out, bleeding to death on the floor. they tried to drag her to safety and be undetected. at some point in time, the son became aware there was also a sister in the house and with two knives raise over his head, he attempted a continuous attack on his mother and the officers.

officers engaged the suspect with one shot from the beanbag gun. it did not have the desired effect. he continued to advance and the officers had to fire -- one officer fired two rounds, ending the attack. sadly, the mother passed away at the hospital from her injuries as well as the suspect. it was not until later on that we found out that he had a history of mental illness. however, because of the attack on others, this falls outside will would have been a cit response. anyway, that happened in. the meeting was well received by the community last night. i think people do appreciate the support of in the city and family and the community coming together to discuss these things right afterwards so we leave no mystery to it.

that was that. we are at about 44, size for the year. although up about 6 from last year, we are still at roughly half of what we were in 2008 and years prior to that when we had the high years. we appear to have gotten a handle on it, although this last six weeks have -- has been a rough patch against what was a very good first seven months of the year. with the community, we have been very active. saturday, participated in a self-help for the elderly march in chinatown which was a really nice event. we did parent-youth summit down in palo alto to discuss violence. again, we are looking at this as a regional situation. i think it is important to support all of the other chiefs

in the area. i went to the homecoming of the pop warner league. it was a blast. i played in the early 1970's. actually, in the late-1970's. it was great. it was the seahawks and the brown bombers. a traveling team from santa rosa. there must have been at least 200 youngsters in attendance ranging from the tiny guys up to early high school. just a great event. a lot of support from the parents. a very good stuff. today was the kickoff for fleet week. there are more events then i can count. and the san francisco police department is proud to be involved in anything that supports our men and women who, through the course of the last seven years, have been in harm's way. they get the chance to enjoy san

francisco over this weekend. i will reassure the public, since we are on tv, if you hear a lot of loud noises overhead, take a look at. it is pretty impressive. they are on our side. that concludes -- the year to date statistics are roughly the same. crime down 6%. property crime relatively flat. president mazzucco: thank you very much. thank you for the meeting last night. it does eliminate the mystery and once the community heard what took place, they never feel good about it but they felt informed. that is the comments i have received from people living in the neighborhood. thank you for doing that. commissioner chan: i think the community meeting was timely. i was glad that there were residents who were living in the neighborhood that attended the

meeting and were interested in what happened. i could tell there was a sense of a huge tragedy because of what happened. i appreciate that the chief went out there and i appreciate it that supervisor mar did quite a bit of outreach. i got quite a bit of e-mails about the meeting. i sense that the room probably has more questions. there are a lot of questions about mental health and language and there are a lot of good questions. i would be happy to join you, chief. going to the discussion we just had, i wanted to ask this question of the chief -- just let us know about stephanie douglas and her letter, saying that she will not sign any cases to us, they are in violation. my vague recollection of this is that the commission is supposed to review reports of anything that touches on the relevant dgo's.

have those reports been happening? has anybody been reading them? i have not seen or heard anything. >> you mean the review of the book of cases that hold us compliant? commissioner chan: not the annual one. my understanding is that there are more frequent reports that go out and that the commission president or his or or designee who receive that. i've not heard anything about that. >> there has been a report. vice president marshall has been designated to review the report. it is something that falls within -- dr. marshall, when is the last time you have seen that? vice president marshall: it is a monthly signed-off. it is something we do with all

of the commissioners. it is basically all of the activity that has happened in the month. and there has not been any. that is the procedure. commissioner chan: could you get a written report that says you did not get anything or you just did not get anything? vice president marshall: i am told by the assigning officers that they have to be investigated. commissioner chan: in the reason i ask that it goes to stephanie douglas' letter and how we can make sure these things are happening on our end. thank you. president mazzucco: any further comments for the chief? let's move to the next item. the directors' report. >> it is a review of recent activities and a presentation of the 2011 community outreach strategic plan. >> and good evening members of the commission and members of

the audience. i have no recent activities to report. other than last night, at the community meeting, there was an occc investigator present there as well. it might be helpful to the community, in the future, when one of our investigators is in the audience, that they let the audience know we have a presence at those meetings. it is our current policy that when these meetings occur, that the chief investigator or a senior investigator will be present in the audience. i will remind them that they need to notify you that they are present. next week, i will provide you with the september statistics and we would like to move into our community our reach strategic plan, which will be presented to you by a policy

analyst attorney. also, our coordinator for outreach activities and our mediation coordinator is here in the audience this evening. president mazzucco: thank you very much. >> good evening. i am the attorney for the office of citizen complaints. i think you for the opportunity to present our our reach strategic plan. i would like to provide you with a brief background to this plan and highlight some of the outreach work from the last year. three years ago, the occ presented our first annual strategic plan to this commissioner. according to professor samuel walker, this was the first civilian oversight strategic plan and the country. we are proud to be in san francisco and to do this. in fact a camara he has his

strategic outreach plan on his website. what we have done in this outreach plan is to use our presentations to community groups, to use our ability to provide fliers to lots of community and city organizations throughout the city, to inform community organizations, leaders, about our goals and about civilian oversight in general. and about the opportunity for the community to engage in community policing and to help the occ achieve our own goals. in 2010, what our staff did was we made presentations at a variety of community organizations such as textiles your -- excelsior youth center, the merchants association, we also went to a variety of community events. the bayview writers community association, the resource fair, senior action network convention, chinese action affairs.

we participated in operation homeless connects. we also have an opportunity to work with a variety of juvenile justice groups. put together a know your rights pressure that is available in six languages. we have an opportunity to work with mental health providers and community organization. because of being a unique oversight model, academic and international communities are interested. they come and visit us from england, argentina, as far as australia and indonesia. we have an opportunity to work with students locally. through our our reach, we have developed a variety of public service announcements, provided reporting about what we do through our annual report, but also on our web site. there is a conference, which is the national organization for civilian oversight, and members

of the occ staff had an opportunity, we presented different panels and moderated different workshops at this oversight training ground. through our mediation, we have also been able to do more outreach. we work with the police officers association to encourage officers to participate in our mediation as well as to work with a robust group of plaintiffs and pro bono attorneys to provide mediation services. our web site -- this year, we were able to provide the public information about when we are providing our outreach activities. brochures are available for out our website for it would provide our quarterly reports to you and make those available to you as well. our challenge is to do more with less. in the past, there has been more frequent resources there's and opportunities to do outreach. we are balancing the dance between our investigative load

and our ability to do our reach. despite all of these challenges, we are committed to a robust outreach strategy and we welcome your questions, your suggestions. president mazzucco: thank you very much. any questions? commissioner kingsley: thank you very much for your report. i enjoy going over your report. i think that the occ ought to be commended and congratulated on being at the forefront of our nation and having the program, the outreach that you do. thank you for that. i am just a knowledge in that. it seems to be growing year by year. two questions -- one is the outreach to the muslim-arab-

middle eastern descent community. we heard a lot tonight. one question is, what has been done or are there plans that target that group in terms of outreach so that that community knows and understands well how to use the occ? that is my first question. >> we have done our reach and we are in the process of translating our general information brochures and other materials into arabic. we have connections and have continued to broaden those connections and want to work with the arab community. >> i might further elaborate. we have more work to do in that area. we have reached out have gotten

information from in-house commissioner chan -- gotten information from commissioner chan but it is an area where we want to do more. commissioner kingsley: thank you very much. the second question has to do with the brochure know your rights. i remember the session were that was presented. i think it took one year of work on that. it was in several languages and i know commissioner chan worked with the occ on that. that was a terrific unveiling. now here we are, about one year later, and i am wondering what kind of feedback either the department or you all have been getting? where do think that has been?

i know a suggestion was made at that meeting that officers carry copies of that inappropriate language is in the cars as they are out in their communities so that they have it at the ready. i do not remember whether there was a structure around if it is handed out. whether there was a report back on the report indicating that they handed that out or it was similar to other instances where there was a receipt given or something of that nature. i do not recall whether there was any kind of follow through on that. but we give you feedback around the effectiveness of the brochure. i am just growing all that out for comment. >> we received a lot of favorable response concerning the brochure. part of what we do is, on a quarterly basis, distributed to

a variety of city organizations and community centers. in terms of responsibility of the police to barbara, there is a general order where officers are required, where they are arresting a youth, to provide that information to the individual. it is required in the incident report. i have met with the school board, not the school board but the student advisory council, which are representatives of the different high schools. it is a student organization that has been provided those brochures and they are being distributed throughout centers in the high schools. we still have a lot more work to do, but there has been a lot of favorable response to have it in so many languages. commissioner kingsley: this is probably not very practical, but is there a mechanism by which to get statistics from the department? to indicate how many were given out on the spot in terms of

police interaction with a youth? do we know that? or that the brochure was handed out? >> i do not have that. president mazzucco: -- commissioner kingsley: i was just wondering if that is something the we know. whether there was a point of use at the time with the officer. >> to answer that question, i think it is possible. it certainly counts in the district courts, times that was in there. it is a matter that the department has the timely resources to make that count. commissioner kingsley: it is probably not practical, but it would be interesting to know, when there is an interaction, aside from the general information, how and when it was used on the spot in a particular instance.

with youth when they are being detained or held. the reaction of them reading it, understanding it when that occurs. and the number of times it has been used under those circumstances, as opposed to general dissemination to organizations and groups. that is all. thank you for your report. i really appreciate it. >> you are welcome, commissioner. any other questions? president mazzucco: item 2c is the commissioners reports. >> i have nothing new to report tim -- to report today. i have a question about our next meeting. when is our next meeting. president mazzucco:
