they were surprised to get acknowledges from our supervisors and under the influence of alcohol our association. those guys really appreciate it and it meant a lot to them we're fortunate to have men and women serving at the station and most importantly our captain. i want to only a the captain and the staff. we're very fortunate to maintain our officers and car officers. i graduated from abraham lincoln high school. i'm currently on the board this there and i want to say thank you. during the incident of the shootings in connecticut he was there to the lincoln to make sure our kids were okay. and

save. with our recent retirees they're doing less and less of personnel. i know it's time for the rotation but i hope we can keep him longer. lastly, i would be amiss if i didn't tell you where i work i specials in current loans and the rates are still at an all-time low so, please come out and see me. if you have any questions about rates please see me >> thank you (laughter) >> it that a first. >> i think that's the first (laughter) >> can you sponsor tonight's meeting. >> good evening my name is james adams i'm the security dodge and

i'm a retired police officer i worked with the captain at day view he was my lieutenant and we were in the same academy class. actually, i went to washington it was the best >> i want to thank captain for all the assistance. we mentioned with the card you mentioned about being distracted. cell phone theft is one of the major crimes that happens at stones town. he's worked with me to bring officers out i've given them access to the roofs so they can overlook the parking lots. you bring is big car out to our

location and we have officers out there trying to stop the blrz of our cars. this month we've had 9 break-ins of cars. people are leaving everything in plain view. i've looked at the states and it looks one of the major crimes is people are driving straight from the airport and leaving their luggage and back pages and they're looking for electronics. i do want to thank the staff at terryville because we have what we call an orchard crime rate and one in particular was sunglasses. they came out they were 34 woman 189 r 18 to 26 years old they

scooped up 26 pair of eyeglasses and i alerted the day watch i needed patrols between 8 and 9 and that's when the mall was closings. the chief said they ran directly into a patrol car all they had to do was open their car doors. i went to court with her and sure enough all the girls plead guilty. just today snafks we had 3 gentlemen who conducted a petty theft. officer jaw showed up just like that and they're now in custody. so i still again want to thank the officers at terryville station and we still need them.

and if captain could stay in the district sir, please let him >> thank you. i used to see you at the hall of justice and thank you for your years of service. >> good evening. i'm glen i'm the kurt current president of the triangle neighborhood soeshlths and also on the terryville pta. i want to acknowledge the great job that the captain has done. a couple examples we run a quarterly meeting and at every meeting the captain shows up to answer questions or he sends a representative without fail and those members he sends are forth right and talk to individuals

after the meeting. captain was our vice president of our organization personally introduced himself to the 8 businesses. we - he knocked on the door and said if they have any problems or questions they're to call the terryville station. under the captains leadership they did cellular phone cpa developed to card he also under his leadership we developed - he was concerned about communication with the businesses and organizations in terryville priblth so we developed a da database of organizations and groups within the neighborhood separated them into whether they were merchant or whatever so he could get out

a quick e-mail warping them about things in the district. that's a database we shared last year and we think it's a good and quick way to get information out into the district. again, i want to thank the capita he's done a fantastic job. thanks >> thank you four working with the captain. good evening >> if you don't mind i'm going to make a little adjustment here. >> got it there? >> ladies and gentlemen, and audience the commissioners and chief and sheriff good evening. i welcome this opportunity to speak this evening. people don't understand the bank

of italy after the earthquake almost rebuilt this whole district based on loans and which johnny wisconsin miller which was right next to the zoo on the panic side is where he trained for the6 olympians and after that became tarzan. very briefly i came this evening to shake the hand of jim cunningham. he's an "x" particular police. he beat the fire department out there and i read the valuable critic by ms. kingsley how he showed up with no guarantor whatsoever. this is the second time we've

had this happen a police doing emphasis job were. when i saw he, he didn't have what 007 had under water a breathing tube. but briefly looking at all of this is that i lived in the terryville district for four and a half years and when the commander gave his talk i was looking for the number of shipwrecks that showed up on the ocean beach and was probably a shipwreck every other month that showed up on the beach with life preservers that came from the sea of japan. so this kids got a lot of history from across the piefk. very briefly i'd like to say

that i think if you look at this district and in terms of one minor city it's beggar than a lot of the cities on the peninsula in terms of people so i have a to say that the police department handling this district is a job in itself but it probably has overdoes have one of the lottery crime rates in the city when i look at the statistics. so i want to sigh keep doing a good job guys. thank you very much >> thank you very much. >> thank you, commissioners. i'm ron. my wife dawn and i run the youth services. it's a youth center in the

sunset beacon center. excuse me. i would say to express my appreciation from a slightly different prospective from the captain. we serve many of the youth that end up on the other side. many of the youth that get arrested that end up in posh conflict with the officers. and captain alumni and his officers have shown yes, they want to reduce crime but they also want to better the lives of the kids that are making those choices. it's about what is going on. the captain brought out many officers to our youth center and traditionally or historically there have been times in the

past we've not always seen eye to eye with the police department. the collaboration we have felt from the captain and the officers to come up to the station to address the line upside for them to come out to our center and meet our staff and fought how to address the difficult tops. he's never tried to smooth over by emphasis serious deserve to better both the lives of the neighborhood and the lives of those youth has meant so much to us. i want to express our appreciation as the collaboration continues to grow. we hope it will continue and

broaden >> good evening. i'm john i'm the safe block captain of the neighborhood watch organization. we're down on lower grade between lot and lincoln. and i just want to say i'm grateful to have this opportunity to publicly express our groups deep appreciation for the captain and the rest of the team. captain alumni has been amazingly professional and pro-active in helping our groups address the issues in our neighborhood. we feel we have a great working relationship f to sfpd so thank you very much (clapping) >> okay my name is ms. anderson i guess i'm a little bit too

tall for the microphone. thank you. i live in the terry value district i just move forward in the september of 2012. my daughter habsz has been undergoing altercate for leukemia. she had been in treatment for about fwoorz when we move forward in. she's beaten leukemia and we celebrated. we celebrated her cure while we were on victor street so we call her victor on victor street. very shortly after here cure she's 11 years old yesterday shortly after her cure we were getting ready for our christmas slings and i'm a single mom. and she'll be starting 6 grade here inaugust.

i ordered christmas present to arrive at the home early september and i didn't found out that the packages had all been stolen. i didn't know how to provide her what bright christmas. i made phone calls to fte fed didn't and the merchants and officer butt i didn't came in and took a report and said we wouldn't likely see the gifts returned and my daughter over heard the conversation and wants to know why stant took away the

gifts what did they do. and so pollutant who is an angel. he spread the word through the station my daughters story and he was able to take up a collection that more than replaced everything that my daughter had lost so i want to especially thank captain alumni and a lieutenant johnson for putting together an awesome tomato team who care of the families in our district. thank you very much (clapping) >> i'm not a little bit shorter than last speaker.

>> hold on one second. you know, thank you, very much for sharing that story that happens a lot in the self-police department that happens a lot of a lot. the men and women who service in department are probably teary eyed. it happens a lot it's good to know so thank you >> i feel the same way. good evening commissioners ladies and gentlemen, of the audience. i'm steve ward. i'm a retired special education teacher. i worked throat the u6rd school district in the elementary

schools and i'm as an example t

and now it's the cleanest i've ever seen it that were it's not all his fault. it's a series with the work in the community and if at all possible i want to see captain alumni stay in the position that he has thank you very much. appreciate it >> thank you very much. thank you

(clapping) >> commissioners. >> haven't seen i for a while. i know i live in the o m i okay. unfortunately i've noticed the quality of life just really gone downhill badly. and if i think if you have a good quality of life crime goes down. i wouldn't tell you what i saw in my driveway. but the officers work with everybody in the community. the real good officers but unfortunately, i think it would be better if we had a new captain because i don't get along with the captain curtis

alumni at all. he's been there a long time. and i asked that i want 80 a police activity to go bye my home. at 4 in the morning i saw a man walking down the street wearing nothing in san francisco. no shirt, no shoes about 18-year-old additional a lady with real short shorts on what are they doing at 4 in the morning walking down the sidewalk as cold as it is in san francisco. a lot of people don't listen. i see computers in vehicles and a saw people and told them to put the cell phones away.

people does not listen. and i hope that the police chief enforcing when people are driving with suspended license it's for a reason and they should have their vehicles towed. and i understand a guy get his vehicle towed and they did the right thing. i hope the police continue to follow the law but i'm all for the quality of life commissioners. that's my main priority. thank you >> speakers? >> good evening. i'm with the san francisco zoo. i've been there 29 years i'm only 32.

we've had excellent, excellent service with sfpd. but it was captain alumni who actually made us a priority and by making united states a priority i believe his first month sergeant mann index said give me a month and he came back to us we set up a series of meetings and we have the zoo employees have a propriety in place for intrlgz whether human armel or animal. and the captain reviewed all our procedures and had his staff review you our procedures and we've toured 97 percent we've given them individual tours of the zoos and showed them dangers

animals and other anyone's. it's been such is a collaboration we've never seen before. this is the second time i've been to a commissioner meeting and it's because of the captain who's been represented here before. i have to tell you we've got a lot more work to do. sorry i didn't mean to address him dribble but from the san francisco zoo we appreciate the captain and the officers and hope to continue the work we've been doing and make it a safe place for everyone and a thank you for that it's important. thank you (clapping) >> and i want to say given

that's really making an impact on me raising my family here in the city on a foggy day where do you go you go to the zoo. but you remind me of having save policies this is what makes this a great place to go to the park and the zoo and thank you captain alumni >> good evening captain going and i want to thank the president and chief. i'm a retired captain with the sheriff's department. i'm here with a bunch of folks in a club we're border in our community by the zoo on the west

and lake merced on the east. i'm here to voice my opinion about the captain and his staff. although captain and along with jim cunningham all worked for me on the old city prison about 25 or that 26 years ago. i'm not at least surprise about the comments that have been made about the captain. i've watched the captain and savings account roll up and mature and they've certainly earned our respect. the quality of work in san francisco as a whole the generation that's coming up now the whole group you saw in the

demographics they're more focused and especially professional. like i appreciate the fact chief that professional development in rotating our officers around i've been in this boat, too, and i asked the capita where he wanted to go but i think the community prefers him staking where he's at and also the sergeant. their good day at what their doing and it makes your job as overseers of the public tries because that's what you do. you're over seeing our communities way of dealing with conflict and you're doing an outstanding job. i want to commend the captain

and everybody out of carr very well i know there are other fine quality officers out of san francisco. i married into a police family her dad were sfpd and she came up on the officer side, too but it's a good crew out here and i think the community would really like to see the captain stay around for a little while longer >> thank you (clapping). >> good evening it's in my first time here so bear with me. i have a couple points i wrote down because anytime i'm in front of an audience butterflies
