my son's case is a cold case. it is 7 years already and i am still hurting, still grieving, i just spoke at san bruno jail for sfptoday and speaking to the young men that have committed crimes, and done things themselves, and i know that i can't bring my son back, but, i am trying to save other young men. but, in that, in that i still want justice for my son. i had these names of people that all of the men that shot my son, all of the men that were involved in my son's case, these names are also on his case at 850 brian in his folder and that her the perpetraters and my son was the intended

target. and this guy right here, i hear, shot my son. this guy is in jail. i don't want them dead. i don't want an eye for an eye. i want them to go to jail. i don't know an eye, i want them to live and i want them in jail so that i can talk to them. this is all that i have left of my son. his body, laying on a gourny full of bullets a 17-year-old boy, i am tired of drying and i am tired of the pain it hurts, it really hurts. i don't know how to bring it home to you. i don't know how to really explain it. but i live it every day. i also, you know, there is other young men that are all cold cases that the cases have not been solved yet and i don't

speak for my son any more, i speak for every child that it does not matter creed or color, it does not matter, it is somebody's child and i should not have to think about this every day of my son's face being lifted off of him in the autopsy. he does not look, he looks like an old man right here. he is only 17 years old, i want justice, i want whatever i got to do. those names that i showed you, people gave those names. witnesses gave those names to people so that they said, who shot my son. what more do we need? >> thank you. >> thank you, miss brown. >> >> good evening jackie. >> my name is jackie bryson, for those of you who are new to

this galaxy and has been in another galaxy far, far away for the last year or so. i come because i too am seeking justice, i am seeking justice for jackie and making sure that what happened to me will not happen again. i told you last time that a appeared before you that i had been evicted out of the (inaudible) apartments and i see that as temporary and the opportunity to kick some serious butt and i learned from a city official who at this point shall remain nameless at one of the reasons that i was evicted from the apartment was that, she called, the police regarding drug dealing too much. end of quote. and the official, yes, you may, we have a moment of chuckle here. >> yes, you may. and the official who told me this, response was, there is no such thing as calling too much, because of drug dealing. well, i learned about the

whistle blower program here in san francisco, and it is through the controller's office. and the beauty of the controller's office and the whistle blower's program is that there ain't no such thing as a statute of limitations and what i learned about two of these non-profits one being tender loin neighborhood development corporation which is very anti-, police, that is when they started getting a new, general building supervisor and her name is leslie, molina and she came and she had her first, she was left to play home alone in the management office, at the apartments. and her first community meeting was in december of 2010. well, i had invited sfpd to come and make a little presentation to the tenants to get the tenants know that the san francisco police department had not forgotten about them and if you see the illegal

activity or suspicious activity or feeling unsafe, call us and we will come back and they did not get a flu shot and so he got the flu. and so instead of a commander we got two lieutenants and from that point on there was a target on my back. you are worth it and i will do it again. and through the controller's office, and since i learned that both tnbc and luther social services are in violation of 12 l which is the administrative code requiring the minimum of two public board of director's meetings per year and that those were to be noticed to the clerk of the board of the supervisors and the public library, they are in violation of that which could cost them the funding, ain't life grand, thank you. >> thank you, jackie. >> good evening. as you know, my name is maria daily, and before i start in on how we need more tough hard

core law enforcement in the tender loin, i would also like to address the teriville police station, i grew up with the hard core heroic law enforcement in that district and one of my ex-boy friends is a retired police officer from that district. and he is always been very heroic as well as many other police officers from many other districts. now, let's get down to business once again. and good evening, greg, sir and you know what my goals are because i have given you paperwork as well. now there is a lot of crime going on, the police force has done a lot of good work and there has been a lot of criminal activity going on in that area which i know that you are aware of. and i would like to request that you start bringing in some plain clothes, law enforcement. and so, they can also help uniform law enforcement, you

know, that i am really into tactical hard core law enforcement and you know that that district is completely corrupt. but you know that you have to bring in hard core law enforcement. you can hardly walk down the street, the criminal activity is so filled on all of the streets. and it is not just that district, and it is not just that street that i live on, it is not just this prab problem in san francisco, but it is a problem all over the world. but the fact is that there is a problem in this district and it needs to be addressed, and i have been fighting this battle, for a very long time. and so, if you would please, bring in some really hard core law enforcement, to that area, once again, and now i am also going to repeat because i am almost done talking but in february of this year, you guys made a hard core law enforcement maneuver, in my favor. and because i requested it.

a lot of hard core police officers came from different districts as well, to enter in to the tenderloin and you know that is a fact and they did a wonderful job, they scared the hel out of the criminals and all of the criminals thought that crime was going to be over for them in the tenderloin altogether and which is exactly my goal and i know what it is yours. so, for all of the heroes in the world, thank you, very much. >> thank you. >> you are next. >> representative, and the audience and commissioners thank you for letting me speak tonight, very briefly i have two things on my plate. one is that last week after reading the papers, i was very concerned about the police department issuing an award to a woman, that killed somebody.

before the report was even complete, and the report that i read in the paper was that she was pressed against her vehicle. and it seems to ring a bell going back 15 years ago when two 25-year-old officers put two slugs into two officers and they claimed that they were pressed against their vehicle and 6th street has six lanes and how is that possible? >> but, also, they got an award before the investigation was complete. and which leaves me to ask, who are pushing these awards? when you have failed to even complete the case of the investigation, of this individual, and she already gets an award? where is the protocol here? to satisfy the public at large? i don't see it. and i am just one citizen. and but i am not here today to attack the police department because i don't really play

that role, i am more of looking for a more perfect police department. and kind of like a more perfect ununion and looking at other articles in the paper which never failed to come before this commission it seems that anything is missing in action any time that an article pops into the paper about what a commission is doing and not doing it just passes you by. reading in the paper also as well is that we have a board of supervisors trying to pass a new law to get the illegal aliens that have committed crimes in the usa and get by off the hook while we have several cases of murder in this city already and by the illegal alien and we already know by the state laws that one-third of the criminal population in this case is illegal aliens, with felonies and misdemeanors in the country and they want to

push the law to force the department police to let the people go to give them more rights than the citizens that live here. a lot of us are fed up with this type of action, and you have federal law and you have state law. federal law, should be abided by the police department and i don't think that there should be any rule. that they should bypass it. and 500 and some were arrested in 2012. and because they were here, illegally. not because they were committing illegal crimes, but a third of these people have committed crimes in this state and city. i thank you for your time on this matter. >> good evening commissioners and chief, dianne carpen residents of the city and county of san francisco and my

daughter is a native and i was here a few months ago relating to a 5150 incident and i did prepare analysis on all of the pitfalls, and citizen impact if you will, on that one action. and i sent it out to you, and i have not heard back from anybody on that. and looking to fill the gaps, and the pitfalls, that work against an individual, who, and their rights, and to due process and whatnot, which, have been as it continues as time wears on, and more

violations of the constitution and laws occur. and i did receive a police department in august, thank you, and it did not contain the 72-hour hold or anything about the citizen's arrest that supposedly occurred. and so i can't address those until i have those documents. and that are called to a sergeant. and i have not heard necessarily from the occ. unless i pursue it, when i was here the last time, i was sent into the hall with the city's attorney who said that she would look it over and get back to me the following day. i called her, at 3:00 in the afternoon and she said that she could not help to get a copy of the police report because she did not want to violate anybody's human rights. mine obviously fall under a different category. sorry. so, i am looking to help.

just like this gentleman, i don't have toys, but i do have inputs and valuable knowledge about the pitfalls of this system. and the impact of the citizens of san francisco. and would love to help patch those gaps to give other people a chance at addressing their concerns in a timely manner and due to the limitations of law and whatnot, they lose out on an opportunity to pursue that if they don't get the materials, in a timely manner. and so, i look forward to hearing from anyone of you and i have emailed the analysis as well as my statement. sorry. and willing to work with you. all right. it is that important. thank you. >> thank you. >> any further public comment? >> hearing none, public comment

is now closed, call the next item, item two. >> item two, chief report, report and discussion, we did that. >> review of recent activities >> good evening, chief. >> good evening commissioners it has been busy since last we met. august 30, thank you for the commissioners that came to see the 253th recruit class graduate 36 new, and we have another class that will start on september 30th and will start with 50. thanks to the commissioners who attended the medal of hour ceremony where 41 medals were awarded and the medal that was referenced in the public comment was not awarded and was misreported in the chronicle that evening. and then, again, thank you to the commissioners for attending the police fire mass on september 8th, at saint

monica's and much appreciated as we remember those that fell on 9/11. deputy chief just stepped outside, recently went sailing with a bunch of youngsters from the middle school. and a group of folks that own these boats offered to take the kids out on the bay that had never been sailing before and so we sent the deputy chief because she has never been sailing before. everybody was just as nervous and took care of each other and it was a great interaction and officer padmoore went as well and it goes toward the engagement of youth and also, we don't have the name handy, but we also had one of future graduate kids recognized by the white house he and a family member will be going back there as one of the kids that contributed the most to his or her community during a summer

youth program which is a big deal to president obama. so it is working going forward. our other big announcement was on monday, where we announced that we are rolling out cell phones to all officers in operations and special operations which effectively means that every officer, patrolling the streets of san francisco by year-end will have a smart phone with internet capability in his or her position regardless of the assignment. the phones include protective cases, data plans and security hardware, and software hardware. and they, we got a great deal on the phones from the provider, and verizon and the phones were actually free. but we could not get a pass from the state of california on the tax. the lion's share of the cost, is in the service, and the current and the phone capabilities right now, are

able to access our crime data warehouse, and cal photo, sf booking pictures, and the department-wide e-mail, and the network access to crime bullitons and the other phones that will go a long way, and phone calls and text messaging and camera and video recorder and voice recorder and talk to text and google language translation are all on these phones as we speak. over 500 of these phones were already out to central stations. and richmond station, and southern station, and tenderloin station and the tactical company, the violence response team and every class that is graduating starting with the last academy class will never know anything about having a cell phone in their possession, we intend to roll out the remainder of the phones

for 1600 by the end of the year. and the thing that makes this phone different, than any other phone and makes the san francisco police department the only department in the state of california is that it is able to access data, which is state wide department of justice data and our attorney general was at the press conference and announced that we are the first department to get the justice mobile app on this phone. and where we can get access to the, again, the state of california, and information, which makes it safer all the way around. and we were required to get extra security on these phones, that it has to have a two factor au thenation one that you have which is a hard token and one that you know is a password and no data is stored on the phone and so they can't be spied on and so obviously, since all of the information that we access is either available to the public

already, or privileged california department of justice information, protected by the california, we can't spy on anybody else, not that we ever would. and we can wife the devices remotely if they are ever misplaced. so all of our hopes are good and we are hoping that we have future capabilities to get real time alerts that we can send to officers immediately if they pop up on the phone. and any camera system that has ip-based for instance, the inside of a bank, let's say that there was a bank robbery in progress and it is possible and perhaps, to route any internal camera footage to a phone and so an officer will be able to see on the cell phone, what was going on inside of a bank, and or, on a mobile device, or on a command post. and then, gps and enable the alerts on the suspect and or the stolen vehicles as they come and we are looking right now into getting the track high iphone, app that will help us

track down the stolen cell phones, in real time from these cell phone devices and so again, we came out with the radios one way and in the 30s is two ways and the 70s and i believe that ten years from now, this will be the industry standard, as far as every cop on the beat wherever in the state as these things get less expensive having them. >> with that, i want to thank everybody that helped in the process, certainly the commission, commissioner loftus for brokering the relationship with the doj and the mayor and the attorney general and certainly, susan and her award winning team and figuring it out with kelley and the chief administrative officer and how to get it done coit, which is the committee on internet technology for the city, and giving us a large portion of the budget that is paying for this. and i am happy to report that in talking with the poa, we are

coming up with a real good sound policy, and i can't say enough about the officers embracing the scheduling and the staffing changes, and working more nights and more weekends and more hours, and more days, without compensation, and now, agreeing to embrace more technology after the warehouse and now these phones and it goes a long way to what we spoke of, that the year to day here in san francisco, homicides are at a record low, down 40 percent from where they were last year and shootings are down over 20 percent, and so i think that it goes a long way to the trust that we have with the community, and the support that we have from the city family and way that the officers are embracing efficiencies and technology and it all seems to be going in the right direction and i could not thank everybody involved more for supporting the effort and so with that, i will leave it open to questions.

>> with reference to this new phone, you talked to and you told me about this app that will actually tell the officers where to look for crime and essentially has the crime mapping data in it and that is available now or is that down the road. >> and hopefully that is shortly down the road and that it is called predictive software and it analyzing all of the immediate data that comes into the crime data warehouse and gives you actually a likelihood of where all of the next particular crime might occur and it will come in particularly handy with regard to the property crimes which are up all over the state. and a lot of the departments are grapling with that as a lot of the low level offenders are getting early release all at once, verses over time. and so, i think that we will get a handle on it and certainly, technology is helping us put our people where they need to be right place right time. and fortunately it also has our clearance rates up with related homicides and violence. >> great, thank you.

>> commissioner kingsley? >> that is terrific news, chief. and the capabilities that are provided with these new phones, is incredibly impressive. and also, echo the thanks to everybody, and yourself certainly too, for working hard to bring this about. and you mentioned that the phones will allow the access to the criminal records in california. and is there a data base that eventually we can get into that would give us information outside of the state, criminal records, that somebody might have? >> right, and so ncic is a national criminal data base. and i can see if there is a way to access that. i know that certain alerts are put into it by ncic. so, we will get some of that if the national data base decides to contribute to clutch, which is often the case.

>> thank you. and the other question is did we get a good deal on servicing? >> we did. >> we got a great deal. and in fact the deal that we got was better than the current deal that the city had by about ten percent and so when we needed to buy a couple of apps that were required to make sure that we could get the justice mobile app and we were able to make a good deal all the way around. >> with the serving plan and the data and all of that. >> no, it is with the texting and the data and all. yes. >> thank you. >> and i guess that the special shout out there should go to fong of our telecommunication and his connection to verizon that made that happen. >> anything further for the chief? >> thank you. >> chief. >> commissioner loftus? >> my mind was elsewhere. just to follow up, i know that we have, and you have covered this before, i would just ask that if the people are watching

miss brown did talk about the unsolved homicide of her son and i know that the question that she left and i want the public to be clear on is what more can bedo and we talk about the need for evidence in that case and i know that we talked about this before. but if you would not remind what is needed in that case if there is anything that folks can help. >> we did speak before and i will ask again tomorrow of homicide if we received any information since we discussed it on the anniversary sadly. on the 7th anniversary. and i am familiar with the names, that we see. these are the folks that people are talking about, but as we just spoke of a moment ago, we need someone to come forward or some physical evidence that can tie the folks to be able to make the case. so we continue to ask the public for assistance, and we are hopeful that some day we can bring this to some closure. >> thank you. >>
