>> -- to track stolen phones to be used in the field for other investigative purposes. that is approximately 977 dollars. >> you have a memo from the captain in your packets regarding this do nation. ironically to track cell phone thefts. is there anything you'd like to add? commissioners, questions or concerns? and is there any public comment regarding this matter. >> [inaudible] for quite a few times starting when he was the secretary for the police commission. i have a great deal of respect for him. i believe his promotion was well earned and i think in the

[inaudible] if there's anybody in the department who would utilize this effectively it would be him. >> any further comments on this matter. hearing none, now closed. do i have a motion for acceptance. >> i move. >> all in favor. >> approved. line item number two. >> the public is now welcome to address items that do not appear on the agenda but are in the subject matter of the commission. on the police commission rules of order during public comment no commissioners are required to respond to questions presented by the public but may provide a brief response. we should refrain from entering into

debates with public. >> good evening. how are you. >> i am fine. you get to be both the cutest guy in the room and the most powerful. >> you made my day. thank you. >> i hope so. and hello to jen. i haven't seen you in a long time and i hope that you did have an opportunity to read a street sheet when he was captain at southwest station and i wrote an article for the coalition on homelessness street sheet and it was called hotel hell and it was about the baldwin hotel. and there's a wonderful picture of you and the caption is although frequent visitors to the hotel, police never pay the visitors fee. so i don't know if you ever got to see that but that was, like, a million years ago.

the reason i'm here is that i want to nominate a person for what i call the citizen's appreciation loan ranger lunchbox award. the /p*eurs i would like to accommodate is our captain for doing his loan ranger bruce lee combo in taking down a perpetrator who decided to pray upon an 80-year-old man in a walker and assault him. i'm looking forward to working with captain

redmond. i hope i never have to see him in action, just the results of his good work. so this made it into the chronicle and there are others appreciative of that. i, having been in a walker since 2005, feel vindicated, but sadly so 'cause that could have been me going down the street. so it's good to see all of you and i'm taking bruce lee and the loan ranger back home to my apartment where i'm always armed and dangerous. that was

for officer julio [inaudible]. one of our finest. >> next speaker please. >> if you didn't find out we have a new pope and he has chosen a name of francis and he is from argentina so it is the first time a hope has been elected in the western hemisphere. last month someone took exception to some of my remarks. i'm amazed when someone challenges the actions of a police officer no one has the integrity to show up to

offend their own actions. the reason that was filed against him is because the law strictly cites that it has to be an elected official or a department head and bottom-line i was in the military for quite a few years and one of the things i learned is the co is responsible for everything that goes on under his or her command. one of the comments that mr. [inaudible] made were regarding sergeant goss. he talked about all the expertise he had, experience, so forth,

but sergeant goss for all his expeer seize cannot answer a simple idr in compliance with the law. some people say i want to embarrass people with my remarks. if the order is embarrassing, it is members of the legal division that have embarrassed the chief, not me. the simple fact that the legal division can't seem to accept a public records request and answer it on a timely basis is unacceptable. and the chief is responsible to see that all of the officers, all of the staff under his command follow the law. in in this case he did not. you can say you're just being picky, but on a nine to

one vote turns out i was right, it was not responded to properly. in particular they question to him is if a member of the public wants to file an immediate disposal request by email, what email address should they use and he couldn't answer the question. >> next speaker. any further public comments and general public comment. hearing none, now closed. please call line item number three. >> review of recent activities regarding [inaudible] robberies and prevention forth quart /-r 2012. >> thank you members of the department and members of the public. i'm going to /ub date you on the recent events that have occurred in san francisco. as you know i'm filling in for

chief [inaudible] in virginia. in addition to being in virginia he made a side trip to washington dc to talk about the bipartisan committee on gun violence and he stroke directly on a straw buying purchase that occurred in san francisco. i'll go through what the recent events that have been newsworthy from the chief's last report to this report, i'm happy to report that it's been relatively quiet. we have not had a homicide report. i still knock on wood for that. our violent crime has continued to decrease with the exception of our property crime and one of those crimes is gonna be discussed tonight regarding the robberies of iphones tonight and that type of thing. we

seem to be up in robberies. they continue to be up and the presentation tonight will address that issue, along with prevention measures by the san francisco state division. some of the newsworthy events that have occurred was unfortunately we had a shooting on march 7th of bryant street. it occurred at 3:48 am. a male was shot in the torso. he was in his 30s, he was a passenger in a vehicle. the driver was not shot, the driver drove around looking for a hospital, flagged down a parking patrol officer mission in main, asked for directions to the hospital. they then stopped at davis and the victim was transported to san francisco general hospital. that is under investigation, we do not know the

determination or cause of that shooting at this time. there was also a couple press releases. one was that there was an arrest made in san francisco regarding human trafficking and that is where a members of our special victims unit -- inspectors there -- the officers at richmond station and the fbi conducting investigation on prostitution of a minor. there was an arrangement made with the minor in the rich land district there where investigation was conducted and two male suspects were arrested for human trafficking. another news media that was unfortunate was we had attack of a 2-year-old toddler in golden gate park at the children's playground

carousel where a female 28 yores old literally kicked a toddler that wasn't 2 years old. the officers responded from park station and did a wonderful job and table to take the suspect into custody. the 2-year-old girl was gonna be a flower girl in a wedding. she did not offer serious injuries at all, but just the emotional trauma to her is gonna be quite concerning to us. once again, an arrest was made in that. as the chief reported last week the public safety hub on the sixth street corridor was opened. as soon as it was open our officer quickly immediate an arrest as he was leaving the

offices there where he witnessed an 80-year-old male in a walker being accosted by a suspect who literally punched him and knocked him to the ground. the officer sprung into action and took the suspect into custody. shows the great work they continue to do out there, especially the foot beats on sixth street. today also opened the other safety partners on sixth street along with public safety department are all now in and out of that office. so we're having some collaboration and a lot of discussion about what we can do to make that sixth street corridor even safer. and what else? i'll just go

into what the chief reported, what retestified to in the bipartisan regarding the straw purchase. i'll explain that a little bit. that is when a weapon is purchased by someone who can legitimately purchase that weapon or they give it to a purpose who is prohibited from having weapons or an out of town buyer bringing it across state lines. i know the chief had described a gun trafficking ring in which a convicted felon recruited his girlfriend and her father to buy over 100 guns and ship them from atlanta to california. the guns wound up in the hands

of kids and one of those guns was used in the murder of the chief of lapd. i am open to my questions about what i just discussed and there's also two other presentations following. >> if there's any questions for the chief regarding the statistics and recent events. >> thank you for the report and filling in for the chief while he does this important trip. it good to know the sixth street substation was open. was there a ribbon cutting for it? >> on friday there was a grand opening of the public safety hub. we're trying to get away from substation because it's a collaboration of a number of public safety agencies, not just the police department. >> i'm glad you're giving us

the right terminology. i missed it and i would be really excited to see it in person so i'm just proposed for the commissioners that we do a tourover it and we don't -- we do it with the right number of commissioners. any other commissioners interested? so we have three and we can take turns going in there just to see the community partnership. the reason why i think it'd be helpful is we've had quite a bit of testimony from the merchants on sixth street and i think it's important to see it so we can talk about it in firsthand experience. >> i was by there just recently this week so i've been so i don't need another tour. >> and then i don't know if i fully caught the piece about the guns that was used
