historical their modern 1 hundred years old and lots of people want to come in and take pictures but we have a group of people they want to put their mark on some of the buildings walls. graffiti markers. we have an officer pete. i want to address to the commending staff he's really knowledgeable and wonderful we know because his love was a motorcycle. i suggest you upgrade the procession of cafe officer. i'll bet he will be coming back. anyway, you know, we have this high tech things and they're using it and you know the

(clapping) >> good evening captain and commissioners. i'm here on behalf of the whoifr district. i thought that captain. tom was

very busy man before i had the opportunity to listen to all the other community members. i don't know how you do it young man. captain tom as my colleague john from the building owners and association had him to that organization. he comes to our board of directors meetings. his officers are very generous. i work with the senior central at fisherman's wharf teaching a safety program and his officers have been generous with their time to talk with two to 25 seniors and i want to publicly thank you and if there's anything we can do to help you

just let us know (clapping) >> ladies and gentlemen, of the audience and commissioners good evening. thank you for letting me me speak this evening. i have a reality check only what takes place in chinatown by at the city at large. i've been a receipt of the city and county of san francisco for 44 years now. i used to work in the finance district we're r a business suit was i ever accosted by a police officer. i have been driving a taxi. and i have been beaten up many times by police officers. i gave 7 speeches in support

certify police department and two is that if you look at chinatown prospective it's the center of the city because if you take it back to 12849 i think a couple blocks up the street after being in politics but coming back to as a taxi i drive on stockton and grant almost non-stop 5 or 6 times a week. you have two china towns wisconsin you have a commercial chinatown and a there's where the chinese people live and work but come back to it i filed a complaint for exactly what that african-american went through it

happened to me 18 years ago. i got beat up by 3 police officers and thrown in a squad car. i don't put that on the police department in chinatown but as a whole. if the occ had been taking care of of my complaint but after many complaints i've never had one be escalated even though i was beat up. they couldn't find a case or find a verification of me being beat up. in terms of chinatown has changed a bit and a last but not least is this. the taxi business has a big problem with a lot of offbeat taxis gyp i didn't taxis operate

off of chinatown where black cars but they're not taekdz. when bars close you is a see a proliferation of those cars picking up people left and right and don't pay the fees i pay to san francisco. the mta sucks $6 million out of taxi drives they don't get a dime - >> excuse me, sir your i am not is up. >> i thank you for your time on this issue. >> captain tom. i'm from san francisco. i'm the newest member that speaks in can doctrine. i think we ought to have a

one-on-one conversation with captain tom. i found i have to work with all the captains. i'll assigned to work with captain tom and a others. when i was told i had to work with the captains closely but i have to say that captain tom has been very rovenl there's times i would think about how i asked silly questions and i would write them and send so i have to say he's really responsive. i've been in the job for 3 months and i, see he's a very enthusiastic captain. he motivates people to prescribe solve together with within it

his power and to the fullest extinct he can do so thank you very much >> thank you very much. >> good evening commissioners deputy chief and captain tom. i worked in the central district thirty years ago in union square in retail security and i'm back as the director for a new security. i miss commend captain tom for the last week and a half he's been very responsive to my e-mails and phone calls. i am echoing everything that everyone said tonight. thank you >> thank you. >> hello thank you so much commissioners for coming to our

district. that i'm a long term area resident and also serve as the co-chair on the advisory board. first, the community is great deal of for the resources looked like to the corridor. the increased presence and the mobile you're not provided by the sheriff's department has made an impact and with the right protocol in safety we think this is good. we ask point corridor be a no tolerance zone. seeking approximately 3 hundred officers short we relevant fully ask for temporary staffing such as the use of our resources as they're trained. one note the community is

noticing prostitution around the broadway corridor. we want to see our vice and staffing increased. also related to this is the liquor licenses. we have 6 hundred percent more on sell licenses. our corresponding crime is higher butor average we have had more xriem in our area, however, we have not seen an increase of police officers. there's a elementary school and 3 liquor stores within 5 hundred feet of the block. this should be addressed.

how much don't the department spend on resources. perhaps this cost could be mitigated by less liquor licenses. our officers should have for impact they're on the front lines and are more aware of specific issues. i would like to understand the impact on the liquor licenses. the relationship between the absence absent and the a l u should be given to the police departments. last i would like to ask the parking lot security ordinance passed by david chiu be endorsed. we have lots where crime persists and we would like to

make sure those lots are secure and in compliance. the department should make sure that the lots are secure >> any further public comment. seeing none, public comment is closed. i want to address a couple of issues. i heard the chief say earlier. he mentioned the 960 program, however, it would bring back officers that were making significant amounts of money in their retirement and have amenities and they would be paid the third time and essentially there's talk about whether we could do that. with the letters for example, officer you didn't know is come back as an officer. we want to encourage more of the

officers to come back as reserves as volunteer. to hear that steward is going to do that is a big deal. so i think that the chief is talking about that. and one of our in september we're going to have a presentation about the letters and the training available and we have some incredible men and women who are doing. that but for staffing thanks to the board of supervisors and great thanks to the mayor and for the commission for bothering everybody we're hiring faster the fire department. we have an impossible situation where we have the drop program so everyone is doing their best to take care of that >> can i say something.

i want to thank captain tom you've had a wonderful presentation. you can telling me tell by the people who are here you're very popular and thank you for having the wonderful presentation tonight >> i wonder whether captain tom or the chief wanted to make any comments on any of the public members comments. and, of course, as i think your president mentioned all, you know, to assure that all of those who stoke e spoke our comments are taken very seriously by the department and they address them and talk about them after the meeting but i'm wondering, you know, if either one of you wanted to say anything about any of the items tonight

>> thank you, commissioners. as you can tell i'm taken extensive notes and we take the comment from the public very seriously and we'll be discussing these tomorrow morning with the chief and captain tom. i just want to say that captain tom you're doing an fantastic job. there are crime problems in all of the city we come out to listen specifically to you what we can do better. we really do hear you and we'll be adding those problems we'll definitely be addressing them >> and wanting if i could offer. i was here last year, it was clear the party bus situations was not a problem that i was

aware of. and i came here thinking we were going to hear a lot of unsolved evidence but we see the number of the specific tactics you all worked on together so i really feel like it's a moment of clarifying some successful i want to commend the department for partnering with you. because it's not in the rearview mirror just keep coming back and tlufls we're doing better. oftentimes it's altering more complicated than a woman whose standing on the corner president to engage in prostitution bus

it's a bigger problem. i hope that's something that is taking care of. just i wanted to say that on the incredible process you've all done together >> captain tom. first of all, thank you for a very complete and intelligent and enlightening presentation and one that was also entertaining punishment it on many levels. your comments regarding police and compensation came through with all the things you tell us

but with the tea with tom and the global mrolz and checking in with hong kong regarding the scams and how to approach that and getting the support with the bags for this community. there are so many things. i just want to and, of course, the party bus situations is already been, you know, mentioned. so thank you for all of that. i didn't hear anything about pedestrian and bike issues. i'm wondering if you could fill us in a little bit how in central how - what the status s is on pedestrian and bike, you know, >> we had two traffic officers before on motorcycles but they

both reserved that we haven't replaced them yet. i'm looking forward when we get more hires we can get the motorcycle cops back. they're only function was traffic. we have an officer who's in a patrol car he just kites. i get a lot of calls everyday about 1 hundred and 50 e-mails a day. when people come in they want tour buses sited. they want other things cited. unfortunately, we can't be at every intersection where there's problems so we'll hit our worst intersection like montgomery street and i had a written down here but most of them are open

stockton which is the most dangerous intersections. we do the best we can. on the weekend we have the luxury. just this last weekend we cited 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
