over 60 people for safety. and the commercial vehicle inspections we don't want any accidents like under the bay bridge. we've lucky we've been getting help green from other officers. do you know whether or not other accidents involving bikes has a increased or decreased? >> i don't have that exact figure but it's rare to see the bicyclists in the central. we have a lot of tourist of people who rent bicycles. it's amazing i don't see a lot

of bike accidents. >> the 6 terrorism liaison officers i'd be interested in knowing a little bit more of what outside agencies they're working with. >> they're kind of a liaison to homeland security if tlrls a higher threat level. they'll go and disseminate the information like in the past we've seen people i don't want to mention which buildings but people at the certain believe they don't have any business there and we'll check it out to find out what's going on or be more alert. they're trained to side

explosive did i see. >> final question who's the officers o officer that's pumped with steroids. >> i told you the officers it's me without my shirt and a thank you captain tom for your presentation. that presentation with the children and officer courtney was absolutely adorable. it was nice to see officer courtney. last week, i hosted the space for the jeopardy defame which is a game to teach youth how to

interact with officers. and officer courtney was there the whole day and was very enthusiastic about the skits. you modeling for them. i was proud to be open the commission that day seeing that. a couple of questions. you gave the staff about the percentage about half the number of officers with asian about 24 percent it's a good chunk of officers a lot more than i grew up with but pits less than the population in terms of language access do you think wu you have enough officers for languages >> i know we have 6 officers that speak cantonese and then

there's 27 that speak mandarin at central we have one officer that speaks mandarin actually she's a p.s. a. one officer speaks chinese and mandarin. the services are utilized constantly. would you like more? >> we can always use more. it's like that commercial >> i want to ask i about the elderly population. because the elders are leaders in the community. i think i've been back here for community meetings and before we've talked about the housing

project that's just down the street, i believe on pacific and before officers would have hours there is that continuing and how it is going >> we're talking about a manager the officers are showing up and a no one was coming but a lot of times you can see seniors just they use senior station like union park and i think they feel i it's a save environment. they're just sitting there on the benches but if there's a problem we talked to the manager and heel walk although them to central station if there's a problem >> it's too bad the office hours weren't being used so there's a way that the elderly

can still report crime. >> i know that they were concerned about graffiti and robbery and some days they didn't hear about what happened with those crimes because they weren't reported. >> our officers are walking through there on a regular basis so maybe that's alleviated some of the problems. >> i want to ask you about the quality of life issues. i park on brad broadway so i see the concerns. one of the people talking about president help and not wanting help in terms of the c i p programs do you know how many officers you have and how many people will take vague of that

and maybe talk about the panhandling. and we have 48 officers who are trained under the old system but whenever that training is available we sign up for it >> do you see - i'm glad you know the numbers off the top of your head. do you see them being used >> we've seen a big spike in people with mental health problems. i read every single report that comes into central station and i come in in the weekend hours to go through any box. everyday my officers are putting

psych codes a 50, 51 code. i had one officer who got a broken hand and another officer had his thump schaffer and another officer a broken leg in 3 places. i used to walk a beat and i really would like to have two beat officers walking it's too dangerous now. it's dangerous and it seemed like so many mentally ill people they have been dropped off from other cities and it's a disservice to the city and i'm really concerned about hearing about the officers and i am

wondering if the c it program to make sure that the officer gets the training and address the c it program. people are mentally ill and to get the officer some protection. i want to ask about the liquor licenses. you don't get enough say about whether or not a storeowner should get the licenses >> especially on the broadway corridor. we've made a lot of improvements there. we've got a lot of help from our city district attorney. she's helped me bringing the

retail shops and the restaurants owners together and they don't want any more night clubs. even the strip clubs or tooird of it. those night claubz clubs are bringing in the downstrokes from out of town. you know, we'd like like to see more restaurants and jazz clubs and different types of venues i was surprised that the strip clubs don't want to see those venues. i think we have 4 hundred and 33 sale liquor licenses in a 3 scare bloke area >> i saw a dive array of people in support of you and happy to have i as a captain.

so i appreciate your work >> captain tom, i want to thank you and everyone here for the great prevention. i w i was partly interested in the folks in particular. i have a concern about quality of life programs and the increased number of establishments of liquor licenses as well. i'm interested and glad to hear what you had to say as well as mr. green bigger. perhaps the ada can tell me what's the alu? >> the liaison to the -

>> the liaison to the state? >> the ad c. >> so the sf pd staff. okay. that's important. we're trying to figure out if it's their guys or ours >> i had a feeling i had know. i should know what the alu is >> how embarrassing and i thought it was it was really a smart move to call and reach anti to others and see what they're doing for sleuths by are there other types of those kind

of scams going on? there's a fewca not fwom among the elderly. i've seen a lot of scams on the internet. the other day there was a lady who wanted a carpet cleaner and they came in and took all the oriental rugs. there's people calling restaurants and saying our pg&e bill is going to be turned off so they'll send in green dot cards that are prepaid credit cards. people hiding behind the automated teller machine machines.

wherever you're finished with a transaction people will walk away and you'll getty money taken out of your account. it's the asian blessing scamper that's subsided. the china media has done a lot of outreach. we sent some information out to the banks and we pass it out to the merchant in chinatown but it's a lot like someone said which someone is elderly they're ill lit and they don't watch tv but they carry the reusually bag. those are hot items.

>> thank you very much. you're welcome >> captain tom it's clear you have our heart here but i wouldn't be able to end the night but by saying how proud you make me the respect you get here from the district attorney's office. it's clear our leadership is well served here. i'm very grateful >> thank you. thank you. >> everybody thank you very much for coming tonight. we've heard great stoerdz and great work by the police officers. and people who are served the city for 50 years
