lawyer. part of that i have spent 19 years in the assistant district attorney, 10 years doing that and 9 years as an assistant in organized crime unit. i have been on the commission for 5 years now. so i think it's a true honor to serve on this commission, to be the liaison between the public and our police department. without further a do we are going to line item one and thank you all for being here. >> line item one adoption of minutes. action for the meetings of february 27, march 6 and march 13, 2013 commissioners you have the minutes in your packets. are there any corrections or changes? hearing none, is there any public comment regarding our minutes. ladies and gentlemen there is always public comments but we call our main event which is captain

-- it's not every wednesday i get to speak to the community. i serve in the station from 1994-2000. it's good to see a lot of familiar faces. my time spent here is the best time i had in the police department. it's got to be a warm a district as there is in san francisco. my dad had the mortuary at 25th and mission in -- i wasn't here. since we last met we made two homicide arrest. an arrest made of mark anthony kasel for the murder of the news sale person. he was thrown to the ground and taken to the hospital for his injuries. the department was

able to get some footage of him and officers at tenderloin district affected that arrest and prosecuted them. on march 25th, another relate to a homicide that occurred last year in golden park, daniel hill, arrested in reno nevada, reno made some connections and inspectors went to reno and made the case and he is currently in custody and he'll be charged for both homicide. with regard to other crime in san francisco, violent crime is up, although i'm happy to report a modest 2 percent, we are down about 300 officers. i think the officers are doing terrific work and some other

reports i'm about to tell you. about 2 weeks ago i participated in a public defenders criminal justice summit which was commemorating the gideon case that came out of florida that prompted the start of all public defenders office and everybody's entitlement to a legal defense and we talked a lot about the treatment of those that are intelligent and because of the begin gid yon case and the mayor's office adopting inebriate program trying to help those who are unable to care for themselves anyway we can into some sort of treatment and we have san francisco police officers down in san diego observing their treatment

and brukd who is one of our coordinators trying to get with the department of public health so they can get the help they need for people who choose treatment. on march 19th, our staff was awarded a public managerial award. there are 5 awards. in the crime data warehouse the web base system that solves some very serious crimes that might have never been solved were it not for this web technology and google capabilities. rod castillo and officer hannibal of the department received this award. it's one of the first departments received for this time for technology for a place that just got e-mailed last year. a lot of work right now

with young people. we met today, the mayor's office announced last year 5,000 summer program is now a 6,000 job summer program. we have enjoying some peace dividend. we are trying to get to this generation before they fall the other way and trying to give gain full employment. the city is involved. last year the department was able to get about 125 kids jobs, some in the department, some outside the department, some privately funded, some publically funded and hope to get kids jobs through the san francisco police department and we believe we can have an in packet and have young people see you differently. we pretty much sat down and kids talked

about whatever they wanted to talk about and each group took the conversation anyway and we learned a lot from each other some of these kids are also going to be placed inside the department and finally i'm happy to report the city of chamber of commerce, city beat survey came out. last year we couldn't believe it that the citizens of san francisco polled by the chamber of commerce saw the san francisco police department, the men and women of the san francisco police department, 72 percent positive and 18 percent negative which was a record for the police department at the time and this year's results came out and i think largely because of all these efforts that the officers are doing even though they are shorthanded and the number they are posting, they posted another record of 76 percent of a disapproval rating of 16

percent. i couldn't be prouder as the chief of this department and appreciate the support of the commission and probably even more than that the citizens of the district and much appreciated. >> thank you, any questions for the chief? >> chief, thank you for your report. it's great that you are going to double jobs for the youth this summer. we know you are watching. what kind of jobs for example did the youth do last summer that might be available this summer? >> we are trying to get the kids do things they like to do. it's like life. if you start off to do what you want to do is you make the least amount of money. when i was in high school, i wanted to make the

most out of money, so you didn't have to do anything but lift heavy things. if they don't pay as well, they all pay minimum wage but a lot of the pc jobs which are current fire trails, the puc, i have been doing it for a time, chief is smiling at me because we did it at bay view too, when we did it, we gave the kids boots and over alls and they thought they were getting something but at the end they didn't appreciate that very much. it's a great model because most of the kids, 92 percent of the kids hired last year either lived, worked or went to school in san francisco. they make their money in the city and they go

out and spend their money in the city and it all comes back around again. it's a job that kids apply for interview for and win. unfortunately a small small number of the kids actually aren't ready or mature enough for the jobs so they are actually let go during the process which even more makes the kids that make it which again is a tremendously high number. it's in the 90 percentile and in the end of the summer job i actually am a reference for them in any future job they reported today 39 percent of the kids that got private jobs were retained permanently and work throughout the year. it's all good stuff. >> thank you, that's great that you serve as a reference for them. >> anything further for the chief? >> thanks very much, chief. you'll call line item 2 b.

>> recent activities. good evening president, chief, captain moezer and members of the community. i'm joy inhibition and director of the of the citizens complaints. also is here is edward mcman in the office for those of you that may have questions after the conclusion of my remarks or after this meeting. it's a pleasure to be here with you this evening. we are also known as the occ, the occ is the third largest oversight civilian -- is surpassed by new york city and the civilian oversight agency in chicago.

the occ was created by a board of supervisors chartered amended in 1982. we are 30 years old. the o c c was originally an office in the san francisco police department but later placed under the direct soups of the police commission. we are an independent agency, separate from the police department and civilians as are the police commissioners. the function is to building trust with the community by building a bridge between the police and the community. to that end the occ a mission to ensure police accountability by conducting fair, timely and unbiased investigations and also making recommendations on police policies and practices and

finally by conducting immediate agencies between complainants and the police. the occ investigates civilian complaints against san francisco police officers and makes policy recommendations on san francisco policies. individuals must make a complaint on the police officers. many have a system for that purpose. the office of citizens complaint service that purpose for the san francisco police department. the occ is staffed by a diverse group of civilians who have never been san francisco police officers. although they may have been police officers or other law enforcement employees in other agencies. the occ currently has a 33 member staff. the majority of the staff consist of investigators and the balance

of the staff consist of attorneys and support staff. the occ conducts investigations to find out what happened. we follow the evidence by interviewing the person who brought the complaint, the involved police officers and civilian witnesses. we have subpoena power to compel testimony and obtain evidence. we obtain additional evidence from the police department in the form of police reports and other documentation generated by the department. we go into the field to visit the site of the alleged occurrence and we make take photographers of places or persons or rely on video tapes. our goal is to complete the investigation within 9 months and usually within one year. when we do complete our investigation we have a finding of whether the

officer violated any local rules state or laws. or preponderance of the evidence, the plaintiff conduct occurred is more likely the probability is greater than 50 percent. if after the investigation, the occ finds the officer violated a rule we file a report to chief for further action. he can impose discipline up to a 10 day suspension. if it discipline exceeds that amount then the matter is referred to the police commission which has jurisdiction over cases where the recommended discipline would exceed a 10 day suspension. in addition to investigating complaints we also provide mediation as an

alternative to discipline. last year the occ facilitated 62 mediation. that represents 799 cases the occ closed last year. our attempt to resolve issues in a disputed resolution. the goal is to bring parties together in an effort to achieve mutual understanding. we have a partnership with the san francisco bar association to provide us with mediators. we conduct languages other than english. our mediation program is a volunteer that requires both the police officer and the complaint ant to agree. i'm happy to report last year officers that were able to

participate in mediation agreed to do so 90 percent of the time. also last year the occ was the winner of community boards 2012 excellence and adr practices award. additionally this year our mediation coordinator donna salazar was the residue residue -- now i would like to talk about the complaints received in 2012 and how the occ resolved complaints. in 2012 the occ received 740 complaints. there has been a steady decline of complaints since 2008. in 2011 we received 784 complaints.

last year we sustained alleged in cases we closed we found miss conducted in 30 percent and 40 percent were unfounded and not true. the largest percentage of allegations we received for unwarranted action 33 percent, unnecessary force comprised a very small of the allegation only 2 percent and last year the department did not sustain any allegations. 24 percent were african americans, 30 percent declined to state their race. asian americans, 7 percent latinos, 12 percent and

native americans, and 3 percent others. the office of citizens complaint is located at 25 van ness, near the corner of van ness and market. easily accessible by transportation. there is a munis stop right at venice and market. we received walk in complaints monday through friday from the public from 8-5 p.m.. we can always receive complaints by telephone, e-mail and fax. we have an answering service for after hours complaints. you also file a complaint at your local station and they can forward them to complaints to us. the staff speaks languages including mandarin, spanish, tagalog. two of our providers

are spanish speakers. the language for other ones that i previously mentioned we will obtain services. last week we conducted cases in spanish, russian and one in american sign language f any of you would like anymore information, senior investigator edward mcman is here in the audience. we also have brochures available that concludes my remarks. >> thank you, any questions for director hiks this evening? thanks very much. please call line item no. 2c. >> commissioners reports. >> one quick report. we were dark last week, prior to that on the weekend i had the honor with commissioner to walk with the san francisco police officers in the saint patrick's

day parade. i think the parade is very popular and i think they are very popular in the pride parade too. it was an honor to walk with you. >> collide -- clooid was with us too. i'm surprised he's not here tonight. commissioners, anything else to report? okay. please call item 2 d >> announcements and schedule of items identified for consideration at future commission meetings. >> any announcements? >> one short one. the next meeting will be april 3rd at city hall room 400, at 5:30. >> with reference to commission announcements. we did a presentation, police

department, at the second to last meeting regarding cellphone thefts. we are hearing about all the people that were getting their cellphone stolen. we look at the daily robbery statistics that the commissioners receive, the daily criminal statistics and it keeps going every night. cell phones, ipads, so what we ask for and we had a great presentation from the police department is what can the manufacturers do to make these items not marketable. no secondary market whatsoever. i remember the department reached out to apple, some of the carriers and asked them what can do you. i'm a little disappointed, our folks were told that they are working on a program to basically call brick the phones or make them obsolete so there is no reason why want to steal them if they have no market value. we learned that the phones when they are
