presentation from the university of central inform florida that recounted an event in a dorm that stopped an active short that had i u ds before he could harm anybody. this is an active partnership and we had special agencies there to make sure that we're prepared to deal with any sort of situation in any of our schools and work places to keep everybody safe. we're taking the two chiefs out for dinner. on thursday we did the mayors backpack give away at john o congressional and is b give away and to youngblood kohlman the at

risk kids have what they need to start school so nobody starts behind. education is a high priority. people having problems with crime all come from not congratulating graduating from high school. so if we can make sure our kids get out of high school we'll have a satisfactory place to live. we had a busy week. we promoted 55 sergeants on monday and we had a promotional performance and in the all because we're seeing so many retirements from our ranks so when we get those officers in we

don't run into any problems. we're making sure we transition and there are some of my appointments over there. we'll have an academy class. i know a lot of people want to know about staffing we're short 3 hundred officers or 15 percent. help is on the way we graduate another class at the end of december and then we'll be back to full staffing beginning in 2014. we are at a record low for fatality violence we've surfed 28 homicides. we've never had a total that low it's a 40 percent reduction but

we suffered a set back and the homicide daily is working a new case. we had a significant robbery in the mission district on saturday. both suspects fled and one suspect was identified. hopefully, we'll have the whole team in custody and with all the notoriety we made a significant break up on fifth and a market where stolen good days are trafficked in. the undercover officers had a string operation and recovered litigiously a treasure chest of stolen property we're trying to get to the owners and lastly we suffered a tragic event another

vehicle collision on folsom with a bicyclist involved and the report was made. the driver was at fault in that collision and we'll be presenting that case to the district attorney for criminal determination if any. but at least it was the driver was at fault. that concludes my report >> thank you for addressing the staffing. that's one of the questions i had but i want to add. maybe i can talk about this. i understand the contract discussions are going on. i also understand when the new contract is negotiated i have a regular exist.

do you anticipate how many people are eligible to retire at this point and take into account. i agree with you at the end of the contract the police officers depart engaging with the mayor's office the current contract has been extended actually june 2, h 2013, >> your station i don't have to tell you how bad it was and it was bad in 1981. >> and how unsafe it was. i think it's time we put it back on the table but in terms of safety they're inside this garage we can talk about that >> i believe the site and/or

the funding is yet to be appropriated. >> i know it's been a long time. there can be a temporary solution until we come up with a solution maybe to rent a space it's it's a dangerous and unsafe place. let's put it on the table again >> anything else for the chief? thank you chief and a have a good dinner. >> on item 2 director hicks couldn't be with us so we have another gentleman to give you a review of the activities. >> good evening members. my name is erick i'm the detective director for the san
