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. ghis first task will be to see what we can do to make that ready to be issued.

there has been in a boat -- been input, and i do not expect out to be much longer in the process of being finalized. i do have to personally thank her for being such an incredible hulhelp. she is more than a help. she does the majority of the work, and last week and prior to that we have had a number of meetings with new language access and limited english proficiency issues, and i think we are making strides within the

department. it needs a few corrections before about will be sent out to the officers industry. good -- officers industry. there are a couple of recommendations. i know a meeting has already been scheduled. but will be discussed, and that will be closer to the final product in the next few weeks. we are down to one dedicated person. she is currently one person.

we lost two sergeants. one is off on leaves, and the other went to the airport, so we are trying to supplement your good reason trying to supplement. officer pat d. brown -- patty brown does so much work. the officer not only needs training and manages three well, but primarily, we still get a lot of work. you have any questions? >> i appreciate it i. would it be reasonable to calendar pursuit and use of

force for july? not july 4, because we will be gone. i will be here if you want me to come up but july 18 until july 25. good >> that would be reasonable. >> you know when it might go out? >> i would think if not this week, definitely next week. there are only two signatures needed. >> that is good to hear, and thanks for your work on it. in terms of written directives,

are there plans to drive more foculks? perhaps one is being trained. >> unless you want them to come to a station. >> i am just curious. >> i will ask for them, depending on your perspective. did we do not know of anyone on modified leaves. if we get someone who can work at a desk job, i will ask the person, but we do not have anyone available. >> what is generally the average the prefer written directive? >> two.

>> thank you. >> we do most of it ourselves. >> did you mention and one of the written directives was out on leave? >> there was then ordered units to supplement some of the written directive, because when we came into this job, there were certain things that needed to be done. our general orders needed to be updated to reuter those sgt -- to be updated. those sergeant's assisted with direction and making sure things were done in a timely fashion.

i do not think he will be coming back to the unit, and the other sergeant went to a patrol functions. >> thank you. thank you very much. inspector beaumont item 3b. >> review of recent activities, the statistical report, and companion reports for april 1, 2012 through april 30, 2012 and january 1, 2011 through january 30, 2011. >> good evening, members of the commission and members of the audience.

first i will talk about recent activities, specifically about complaints activity that occurred on april 30 that is in your package. from april 1 we received 17 less cases and opened in april, but looking at those that were open during those years, there was only a five-cases giffords. -- difference. they closed 76 cases. april 30 they had 344 pending cases. today they have 340 pending cases compared to 460 on may 15 last year, so pending cases is dropping. a gooit is certainly smaller thn

last year. in the area of mediations, they mediated four cases in april. in may they have mediated seven cases, so they have already mediated twice as many cases. we have allegations in four cases in april. in the area of outreach, looking at the website, it is up on our website. gi will quickly move to the

report in your packet. i have gone over much of those statistics for april, but i have not discussed adjudication of sustained complaints for april 1 through april 30, 2012. the chief adjudicated four cases in april. all of them were neglect of duty. the third case, and neglect of duty case, involved an officer, which requires them to broadcast and not a female passenger. the fourth case is the

department general horneorder regarding police interactions. that includes both of my reports. good >price good to hear you are closing more than you are open. goo>> can you remind me what the best practices are for investigators thurman -- for investigators from a >> best practices was determined by the comptroller, and they look at similar to jurisdictions that have civilian oversight, and they determined it is 16 cases

per investigator, and another area i have not highlighted and will start to highlight in my second quarter report is the area of interviews the investigators conduct and how they are having to conduct interviews at 11:00 at night and very early in the morning, because approximately 10 years ago the city and department determined to save money so as not to pay officers over time that officers could only be interviewed during that shift, so that means investigators are having to conduct interviews at times other than work term, meaning they have a choice to either flex their time or get,.

they do not get over time, but even with called term -- with comp time, they do work a 12 hour day, so that is an issue they are facing. >> thank you for this report. i want to ask about the adjudication were cases were sustained. it looks like there are two failures in traffic stop data, and i am trying to remember the last time the department issued a bulletin. what can we do to prevent? >> it was recent admonition, and

you will actually be seeing an officer failing to enter data. i take it very seriously, so if you see admonishment, that is the first offense on any of these. there will be an officer before the commission shortly for failure to enter data appear reuter >> it is good to know the progressive discipline policy with respect to this issue. you said it was recently issued? >> i will find out the date, but we have reminded the officers how critical it is. >> if i might add on, next week i will present the first quarter report.

we are a little behind, but we are catching up. you will see the adjudication the chief has made for three months, and you have an opportunity to see the chief has given the indiscipline -- the discipline he has just discussed, and in some cases it is an admonishment for failure to collect data. in one discrete incident, it is chargers. good >> when i get the report i will definitely look at that. bird strikes anything further for director hickses?

-- >> anything further for director hicks please call item 3c. >> commissioner reports, commissioner items. but although we were dark last weekend did not have a meeting, it was a pretty busy meeting. the new legislation involving the concerns over the african- american community. it was a great piece of legislation that address everyone's concerns. it was a collaborative effort. yesterday's myself and commissioner chan met with the police about some recommendations that we do things differently, because when

we tell them shootings are investigated an expert review what took place, so we have some questions for the chief, and they were very helpful and answered our questions. with reference to our goal of getting academy class, i talked to the board of supervisors, because we agree we need more officers, and one question was how are we doing with positions? if i can of the department to give us an update of how we have progressed. i know former commissioner sparks have made this a priority where we do not want to train police officers doing jobs civilians can tundo, so i have t for an update on about. if we can do that in the next

two or three weeks, that would be great. we have police officers maintaining a fleet of police cars. to move forward to get now are trained officers on the street, so we want to look at that closely, and are we doing any sort of traffic enforcement? it seems to me there are just stop signs. pedestrian safety is becoming an issue. >> hour traffic enforcement has been stepped up, especially in light of the tragic accidents. they have identified hot spots,

and we are trying to identify those people feel need more attention and focus our efforts there. it strikefive when you are telle to avoid certain streets, maybe it is time to change. thank you, commissioners. we are done with commission announcement. if we can move to item 3d. >> scheduling of items for consideration at future meetings. >> is there anything you would like to add? >> based on the earlier to report i want to put a general order 5.01. 5.01 use of force and 5.05 is for those bonds in driving in

terms of policy recommendations, and i just look the calendar closely for july, and since we do have to live for likely off, we will have other days we will likely be meeting, so i am suggesting to buy a 11 or july 25. goobikes that is six months pas. >> are we ready to get a wednesday off? it might make more sense than on wednesday we are already coming here. >> she said the 25th would be the best they afford to live. >> i am fine with that. i know we have our community meetings, and i do not want to interfere with that. >> june we
