4:30 pm
print out a copy of where the community meeting notices are sent in addition to the website. i know that before, the commission's secretariat provided that information, but in light of the comment we got this evening, maybe if we printed out where all we are publicizing and just sort of circulator and so that there are additional ideas, we can add to it and expand on our community outreach. secretary monroe: that would be great. president mazzucco: any item on line items a, b, c, or d? >> in relation to the occ report, i have one question. i read in the "san jose mercury news" that they have regular
4:31 pm
complaints on the police department's or from the department at large, complaints against the san as a police department based -- based on force or without force, and i want to know why the occ does not label the number of complaints where the person complained about unnecessary force, versus some other complaint, and i bring it to your attention because as a taxi driver, wearing a taxi clothing, over the past 10 to 12 years, i have had two scuffles with the sfpd, where they used unnecessary force each time. the second one was in january, where they hogtied me and threw me around like a sack of potatoes when i did not resist. and i would like to know where or how we can get a report from
4:32 pm
you on the claims of unnecessary force in terms of how many of those were sustained versus how many of those were not and how many we get on an annual basis compared to the center is a police department, what i have the record of right now, as a comparison on the peninsula, because i think it is a big problem in terms of the perception of the sfpd, when an officer uses unnecessary force, particularly in my case, where i am not resisting. i have handcuffs on. there is nothing for me to do, and they are still beating me up, and those are complaints that you get an any metropolitan area, whether it is new york city, boston, or san francisco. unnecessary force is a big item, and i would like to see it identified on a quarterly basis or on a monthly basis even in terms of how many of those were sustained or not sustained and
4:33 pm
examples of them. that is what i have. thank you very much. president mcczzu -- mazzucco: any other further comment? seeing no further public comment, public comment is closed. please read line item number four. secretary monroe: number four, the awards committee recommendation. president mazzucco: it was, quite frankly, probably a very unusual day that we gave out some of the gold medals. to tell me a little bit about this process. it is a very interesting process. the only folks allowed in the room are members of the police commission, staff, inspector monroe was there, and officers to help a civil service rank of captain or above. nobody else can be in the room.
4:34 pm
at that time, there were presentations about the officers that would be presented with valor. the officers are present. after the presentation, the officers are present for an eight questions which the staff and captain, and they routinely receive questions about how far they were from individuals and the thorough process, and then the officers leave the room. at that time, they pass around a box, a wooden box, and the command staff votes by use of marbles, bold marbles or sober marbles. a black marble for a police commission accommodation, and others, and then they tally the votes, and they need two thirds of the vote to win. is that correct, inspector monroe? it is an extremely high standard, and these gold medals are only given for extreme, extreme heroism.
4:35 pm
this time, there were four, so i have a list before you of those recipients. if you take a look at the list, and i will just briefly -- actually, there are six gold medals, and there were six gold medals. there were approximately nine silver and approximately, one, two, three, four, -- metals, and the numerous marriage short -- meritorious metals. the silver and bronze were pretty incredible, officers pulling people out of burning cars just before the car burns up, bring themselves with the assistance of the public and a
4:36 pm
patrol special, officers involved in running gun battles where they were being fired upon and they had to fire back. it is just amazing heroism, and the one thing that stands out, as chief cashman can testify, when asked if they had anything to add, none of them had anything to add. they thought they were just doing their job. if there is a list of questions of but any of these gold medal officers, we are happy to answer. commissioner kingsley? president -- commissioner kingsley: pres., is there something there? >> it is a formal ceremony
4:37 pm
wearing of presentation where the actual events are read to the public. it is a huge event and well attended by the public and families. commissioner kingsley: right. we have attended those. for the gold, silver, bronze, maybe hire metals, -- medals, maybe we could list them on the website. >> i think that would be appropriate once they are approved. president mazzucco: i think it is a great idea. again, a lot of them do not want to talk about it. it is a light changing experience. they really were not too chatty about it, so it would be good for the families to know what they did. are there any questions?
4:38 pm
commissioner: there is a date, and i am assuming that that is the date for which they are receiving the award? ok, that is all. president mazzucco: there are three separate incidents, approximately six officers, and these were running gun battles. i should add to it. a little bias i have, four to 6 where sons of former police officers. amazing. commissioner: i would move that we approve the medals. president mazzucco: any public comment? hearing none, thank you. please call the next item.
