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 the 1936 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

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 go off. hello chief of police i'm currently a program director. the goals are to provide services to many families involved if the department of

humane services and the families capacities for healthy development. we over a array of services. i want to acknowledge because i'm a social worker at hearty want to acknowledge the officers and it's been captain alumni definitely taking place, maddox and officer shawn because they have been truly a group of officers that have responded to my e-mails and phone calls additional have me oppose for event and have been particularly involved in all the community events we do from the family reach center. and annually we have a turkey give away i've begged and begged from a truck to help us drive 5

hundred turkeys from costco so we can give those 5 hundred turkeys free to i believe i think this past year we served about 5 hundred families so thank you. another event whether there constantly involved in the toys drive which captain mentioned which is a collaboration we do with the families in action. we provided 2 hundred plus gifts annually with the help of other. they also are present in our events in my loonor year and our annual easter events so it's a collaboration which we appreciate as well. so kudos and thank you to them. and some of the concerns i have we have mentioned in the past

but definitely the r or o r mc is due to the violence that's happening in the last 3 years. if you go in front of our office 156 broad street there's been a memorial there for two years bus it's a constant reminded to our clients that something happened there >> okay. so briefly. due to the violence we've seen we have seen anxiety and depression and we're working with long fell and sheraton to support the kids. thank you >> good evening my name is lee i'm the manager the ocean view public library.

i came forward this evening because i do very much want to acknowledge captain alumni specifically formal reconstituting the carr value team when is dedicated to our neighborhood. the ocean view branch sets in a sketchy parrot of the randolph corridor. i found that the carr value team officers are very responsive to any problems i've had at the library. i want to point out that there was an 11-year-old boy who was a regular patron of our library and i became be sure that there were weapons in his back paxil and i found out bullets and a knife it was definitely dangerous.

and i called the police and asked for some help on how to handle this situations and i got an immediate response. and the officer who came by said he actually would like to receive this particular problem to one of his colleagues who had a lot more experience directly working with kids when i appreciated. when he came over and explained the situations he said he would go directly to the home of that boy and i told him i wasn't sure of the family situation but he was incest to the night of checking out the relationship with a single mother and whether or not to speak with her as well

as the child. this was handled very sensitively. so i want to express my deep, deep thanks to captain alumni and the neighborhood team. so thank you >> thank you (clapping). >> good evening chief and commissioners and director hillary clinton. i think the supervisors-are human resources i'm president of all my neighbors in action that is our 25th anniversary of working ton o on public safety. we started our 25 years ago with very strong leadership of many and to try to close down the

crackhouses and try to take back argue park and neighborhood that was quite unsafe but it took a good 20 years to really make a difference but working with the police and da and the city attorney we were able to make a really big difference. i wanted to say i concur with tonight love fest and director hicks and the captain are topnotch. i wanted to thank the chief and this commission for the stability of stopping the rotation of captains. it is really made a difference in being to have the police we like to see. i concur that, you know, we need

to keep the captain as long as possible. he's a very you modest person. he should pat himself open the back and the officers that work at terryville. one of the things he's down for me, i asked him if he could make the meetings and bring them to the o m i because going to the meetings i saw a couple of my neighbors who were able to get out there especially the seniors and he's made a commitment quarterly to bring them to the rec center and that's brought horrify at any time it's not a huge amount of people but made access to people who didn't have

previous access. so i appreciate he took that to heart and previous captains - i'd asked every capita and they would come once a year by the captain comes quarterly. thank you for restating the terry value neighborhood team it's definitely restored some of the - there was a lot of anxieties in my community as after several shoovts there were low staffing and they were going to take them away but they were restated and i heard oh, from the community members they feel a lot better having them in the community.
