neither police or commissioners are required to respond but they provide a brief response. please limit your comments to 3 minutes. >> good evening, mr. hart. goo>> good evening, sir. several years ago when i first came here, i made it clear that my primary purpose is to make it clear that any item that is not on the agenda, also that any

documents but did not have a specific exemption for non- disclosure were given to people. i appeared at library commission. she made direct threats but she knew 12 people who would very mean, that she grew up in the get-go region that would --12 people but would bury me. two days later she filed a complaint against me for making threats based on legitimate public comments. the inspector miranda visited me with another officer without prior announcement. they got into my building, not

on my door, and i unexpectedly had to deal with this issue, and i thought that was inappropriate. i asked the inspector what was going to happen, and he said we will complete the investigation, and you can get the information. i waited six weeks. the inspector refused to give me the e-mail address for the legal division. i then got a hold of someone who gave me the e-mail address. i sent it. i did not get a response, not even asking for an extension of time. finally, after waiting weeks, i've put in request with the

department of records asking them to look into this. they said there were no documents. good earlier this week i got an e-mail from the legal division saying there are additional documents, but they are part of an ongoing investigation. we have not decided whether we are going to prosecute. now they told me there were no documents. they should have told me they were withholding with reason. i guess we will sort it out in june. good >> i can relate to what you were saying.

this is the end result. that is what handcuffs do when they are put on a really hard. it was totally uncalled for. i believe in openness, that everyone gets along. but was totally wrong. that has been dealt west in another agreement. i read the report, over 200 pages. some of it was hilarious. gooi would like to commend you. the other night skthat madman --

you were there. he said being a leader is not always being there but knowing when to be there, and i saw your at the press conference thank god for the press. the "l.a. times" is going to the supreme court. they want names of officers involved in shooting. it took the new york times to demand data. it was appalling. 73% of stop and frisk are

minorities. when he invented that policy, he said if this is abused it will lose the faith and trust of the community. this commission is doing that. >> please call line item #3. we're going to have a special presentation. >> line item 3, a certificate of appreciation. >> thank you, sir. >> good evening, commission, chief. tonight want to present the extraordinary efforts of an individual. would you come ofup? [applause]

on the evening of march 9 a little after 8:00 p.m., she is greater india reader east river in the eyes with the index. he then took the cash. the clerk screen. and -- screams. he then told what happened. 911 was called, and police were on their way. he graeme the suspect and through him to the ground. good he then ordered the suspect to stay on the ground. they exchanged blows when the

suspect removed an object he struck with two times. the suspect continued to escape, and mr. sorayano gave chase. he returned, not realizing he had been stabbed. he realized he had been stabbed by a desperately violent criminal. the suspect sprain the same caustic mixture at the two teenagers. as a result of the efforts that night we were able to capture a vicious and a separate criminal but is still in custody awaiting nine felony charges.

had he not been captured, there is no doubt the suspect would have victimized others. i recommend it be presented with a civilian commendation award. thank you. [applause] >> it is a great honor to have is given to me. the police department and many people do these things that you do not hear about every often.

i am very grateful. >> thank you for doing by curator it is truly appreciated. -- thank you for doing this. it is truly appreciated. your family should be proud. i cannot thank you enough, but before you leave with you stop and get a card for the police department? i think we are hiring. good >> lot of is from my grand master who taught me to help other people. he is here, and he always instilled in to me, do not stop. keep going, help people basically. >> thank you very much.

>> congratulations. thank you for your courage. did it is exciting to see your family in support of vieyou. >> thank you very much. >> the chief's report, review of recent activities, an update on recommendations, response and pursued driving, use of force, and language access services. >> before i go into my report

and have the policy recommendation, we have won more award the police department got. it was awarded the best police station. the most colorful posting, these officers work on some of the greediest streets -- grittiest streets. dealing with crime means picking and choosing and keeping civilians save. the tenderloin is a place for families and children as well as people struggling with poverty and homelessness.

congratulations to capt. guaranteearrity and the tenderln station. gappreciation for the recommendation. don'we have had a busy time sine the last meeting. did we did have two officer involved shootings. one was last wednesday night, a suspect being wanted for questioning regarding the bludgeoning death of his mother. it was in an apartment on post street. when officers went to engage the suspect he never came into a place where he was visible. youhe fired at the officers thrh

the wall. this conjured up memories when the police officers were killed. cat was called to try to establish communication and continued to fire through floors, ceilings, and walls, but the situation became a media -- immediate when the suspect with a fire. -- lit a fire. we did not know how many people have been secured in place. 180 people had been evacuated. goothe decision was made that if the opportunity would present

itself are snipers should reduce the threat he radioed region -- snipers should reduce the threat. your they exercise research and found a makeshift bomb but the suspect made further mention of his intentions, so this is a person pushing the envelope until the officers knew what they were going to do. i think lives were saved. i just think they did a great job. king soleil no one was injured, and sunday night, officers were

in control, and they came across a robbery in progress. the suspects were on top of a woman. she was screaming for help. he immediately got off a woman. one officer fired one shot. he was booked on robbery charges, so that was a happy ending. we did suffer three homicides, and two last weekend and one last night. we are working on all three. this brings are incidents of homicides to one more than last year. although i think it is good we are not having a dramatic increase in incidents of homicide, it is disconcerting to have more than one homicides for

me. we are working on that. we made the second arrest in the golden gate park, where the victim was hit by a skateboard, and homicide officers made another arrested in march of this year. when i say we are following up on these leads, we are. may is a police officer memorial week. we never have any of our officers of their again, but i think it is a good chance to show how important they are.

may 15 is texting and driving awareness, so be aware if you do it. it is a major contribution to deaths on the road. we went on upper 24 street. it was well-received. most people wondered if there was a problem. when they found out there was not, they were happy we were of there. we did hold a community meeting the very next. thank you commissioner harry go and -- thank you, commissioner. it was well-received, and i appreciate members of the press coming and putting it out.

we spend some time in dolores park. and we were a of a quiet time program. we are exploring a new program, trying to gueset youth rugby involved. we will see if we can interest sinckids. this should be at no cost to the city. we have the third most in the country, and we do have a tremendous relationship, and tourism being so important it is critical they know we have a relationship and we have new protocols whenever foreign nationals are a victim of a crime or has been seriously

injured. i know the consular general is very appreciative of the policy. she is a nice lady. our graduates program continues to go ontari. we just had our lgbt program. we are gearing up for debate to breakers region -- for bay to breakers. it is an alcohol-free th event. i was asked if i will be running, and i will not be run in. we are doing out of reach.

-- out of reach. we are doing things, trying to reach out to chinese language stations and spanish-language stations to make sure everyone is aware of what is going on in the language they are most accustomed to. the pride of lions -- pride alliance is being recognized. it is available online, and we encourage everyone to look at it. we are proud of it. we did have a situation this afternoon. while looking through some evidence on a cold case, an item was in the case file box.

goo5 was put back where it belongs, so what is our procedure for making sure refrigerated evidence is returned in a timely fashion. it is a good idea to make sure we are being a conscientious and the efficient as possible. >> i noticed the homicides were in three hot spots. are we addressing those issues announcenow? is there anything you could tell us about what we are doing in those areas? >> we are analyzing all the data we have for the city to focus

our attention on areas where we are getting reports about shots fired and focusing on shooting victims' and any information our street officers are developing in ongoing situation smits. the person who was killed was not the intended victim, so the intended victim is still out end knows who the suspect is, so both of those people have been identified, and we are hoping to over him from getting to each other. we do not want to lose the front end work are keep talking about. >> with reference to the shooting last wednesday evening, i attended one of the

briefings. what we heard about was the incredible leadership and professional behavior of the officers got night. this could have been a bad situation here your the press was reporting about house -- this could have been a bad situation. i have heard from the press how calm it was, so thank you for those who risk their lives. you do not send officers in where there is an active shooter, and it would have been pretty dangerous, so i want to thank the officers. >> just to echo, i was in bayview the night of the incident and was hearing in real

time the officers were being shot at repeatedly and the danger of how it spilled to the point where he was setting the building on fire, and i know that had an impact on me and the fear someone would be hurt or killed. it is about remembering the sacrifice of families have made but also the dangers are officers themselves in every day, and i commend you for your leadership and thank you for having a department that responded to that and kept our officers saves. but i just want to respond they

were there that night, and a lot of people think it is adversarial, but it is supportive to think that they are there, they are watching. we know who everybody is, and it and the seeing support of knowing that if they are not saying anything we are doing something right. >> thank you. >> the updates and timeline we have tended now -- pending now, recently the sergeant was assigned to emergency operations. g
