10:30 am
lot of calls, it turned out that there were none, not until after midnight unfortunately, there was a shooting at thatím&6]ua time. so it turned out toxrtí+dç be a rather quiet. but still, his a very informative experience. i toured the station beforeg# the ride-along didle=sp roll call and for that";,pihd c.e/og lt. darrylb fong was in charge thatyq1o>ñ4e night.xd sgt. jesus pena did theo;(o.hñ ride-along. i rode in his car. and had a spontaneous tour ofnkilzj4q ythe emergency call center on turk street. which turned out to be very enlightening to see howbb c.a.d. center works firsthand. that turned out to be terrific and lori stern, the operations
10:31 am
manager there, took considerable time to go through the details of that operation. and i commissioners that haven't experienced that yet. there are two things that i kind of came away with i'd like tõ éa' share with the other commissioners. one is the challenges of the northern policing district. it's very -- av[4óvpv very diverse district, but very dense in 7wy population. itú)5y5ibxv includes the western district and public housing there but also the high rises in the russian hill area,2=jnrd the mansions in pacific heights, and+7of lot of activities and22ñ celebrations in the city. and then of courseg&ç6 jx there's the marina. so there's quite a bit of demand, you9gtg'g9 on our officers here. and apparently a lot of calls.ñ
10:32 am
notwithstanding this particular night. the other things that struck me wíp+qe notwithstanding the challenges of this area is that there is aws [x challenge of staffing there. during roll call, where you would ordinarily expect to see perhaps two o6ios?gj for each car that's going out all but one car only had one officer going out. so they -- you know, as -- they're not alone but they are experiencing staffing challenges&=m7opv] there. notwithstanding&t&sqs that you couldn't really tell because everything was very professionally and efficiently organized with the staffing that was there. and very much under control. and well done. so i am very appreciative to captain mannix and lt. fong

specials. so if we could sort of discuss this if you would like. we can see in the packets the been reviewed byw san francisco police department and they've been approved. but we cannot discuss any specifics. a lot of it has been redacted because social security numbers, bank account numbers, addresses, phone numbers, important inf+ we cannot discuss that on the record because it's privileged and confidential and -- attorney last night also provided me with a( ] cautioning us on releasing this information. soñ any information the commissioners have regarding firstt ç applicant david randall -- >> you said they have been approved already by4i:9t the department is that correct? >> hector who is presentr$@a tonight sgt. would you like to come forward. >> good evening. the backgrounds have been thoroughly reviewed and they've been approved byw3 the department. the background investigations, to review the packets, to make

based on thosed >> -- general high level, discussion about the topics of the concerns, but the records'#k6kw themselves are exempt from production as well as information in the records. so there shouldn't be detailed discussion of the/%u 3ñz content of the records here in this public forum. so if you feel that you can't get ajdw % discussion or back sponsoring patrol special officer or the assistant applicant, themselves, it may be that you'll need to make a decision based on7#h:ñ the records that you've been able to review, and ifd+ is against the appointment, that's going to be your decision. >> commissioner chan: thank yousmb(ç/8ç. >> president mazzucco: fisher kingsley. >> commisaeñ?ñ?>q3 kvñioner kingsley:

there are just a couple of us that have questions that are specific to this. the voted ?ñ? for that particular applicant, and then seek the information -- because i'd hate to vote no on an applicant without allowing the opportunity to provideññ> i think that would bey em fine. certainly the commission could vote to continue it upon the request of a commissioner, or the vote of the body. if the packet, youipfiugk feel, isn't complete, or if there are questions that you would like additional information submitted for review and consideration, there would be no problemu! with that. >> commissioner kingsley: tha$oñyño@v you. >> i have a question that i think i can ask. for addressing all threettí the -- okay.

10:43 am
that's why i would concur with my fellow commissioner. >> what i will do at this point in0: >> i mean i think it's appropriate if the department cant-:dázé explain the factors that were reviewed, and the basis for the recommendation& appointment without getting into any of the specific details. that certainly would not be a problem. >> that's my question. even if we postpone this how are we going>>/qp to ask the relevant questions that we need to ask. >> if commissioner have specific questions on a packet they can submit that to5y;÷$ñç sgt. justino who can follow up with the sponsoring special patrol officer that can get answers h and those will be included in the supplemental packet for the commission that would be subject to the same rules as far as they would bekníxz! non-public record but that may be a way in which the commission can request supplemental information and get answers to the questions that the commissioners have. >> that soundg. ó]é8 fine? >> that sounds perfect. >> vice president marshall: maybe at that time, rather than hear from the department n
