occ. but you know what? it's hard to contact them. i need a form and get a letter saying provide me more information. it's a hassle. there has to be a better way to deal with officers that pick on us instead of working with us. i think you should honor the officers that worked hard at the 49er games dealing with traffic control and the illegal taxis and limousines and the officers out there and their time at candlestick. thank you for your time. >> is there someone from the occ? i know since you took the time to be here tonight. samra is from the occ and we want you to make it easy to talk to them and make a complaint. we want to look into what you allege happen because that isn't supposed to happen. >> thank you. next speaker.

>> i am mary mcguire and a taxi driver and former taxi commissioner for seven years, sat there every other tuesday. i do have faith in the police department. if you can't have faith in the police where would we be, but your department, your officers -- they can't do their job if you don't give them the tools and it's to you to give the tools to do the enforcement. there is stuff you can do. these guys are texting. texting is part of the business model and i think that's why the accident happened the other night. a witness said he told the police he had the phone in his lap, probably to avoid detection, and probably to text on the dash and it's one thing you can do. your officers smart. they can recognize it even though there is no

address. we recognize who they are and your officers can recognize who they are as well. i am really disheartened. we are tired of getting passed around from agency to agency. this is not the jurisdiction. we're not clear about the insurance standards are for the vehicle of the city and county of san francisco doesn't know because the puc won't give the information. it's under lock and key that uber and others say it's proprietary information. since when is insurance and transporting people on streets proprietary information? it's absurd and this issue awltionz of the trade address. this is your jurisdiction. i see around the fill more -- union and fill more around that area and constantly young women are getting into the cars and standard practice and sexy clothes and hopping into a car.

this is what they do. they don't even question it. this is another thing that is just waiting to happen, something bad. the puc can't do enforcement. they have the five inspectors state wide and these guys it's not casual carburetor a day and 10 hours a day and 2,000 of them so this is going to be a very tense situation. in the meantime something else you could ask the officers something to do. when they make a stop for texting or double balboa park they can ask to see the insurance but if there is an infraction can they make out a police report if they suspect the person is driving for hire with personal insurance and certainly if there is accident and note that and when the insurance companies sees that they will cancel the policy so

that is something you can do and please think and find answers because we came to you with hope. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> hello. i would like to use the overhead. first of all i want to thank you guys for the toys for christmas for the healing circle for mothers and fathers that have lost their children to homicide. i am here because of my son murdered august 14, 2006 to semi automatic gun and bullets into my son all because he helped someone else and all he said was are the run" and they turned the guns on my son and shot him. i come here. i bring all the names of the people that were there, the perpetrators that were there that shot my son.

this person, thomas hannibal, is a person of interest to me and he's still running the street. the paris mafet is in jail but not for my son's case. some of them are still running the street but my main concern are thomas hannibal and peris moveet. i still have no closer. this is 2014 now. i brought this because mayor gavin newsom said i know who killed her son. the da know. the police know. there's just no witnesses but i figure if you can put a man in jail and there's no body -- i forget his name, but there's no body and he killed a young girl how much evidence do you need

when people are coming with the names, the names of the person that killed my son? this is what i have to look at and this is what i have to deal with and remember everyday standing over my son's casket. i wouldn't wish this on any mother and this is something i said i will be doing for the rest of my life. believe me i don't want to do this. i hate doing this. i literally hate t i have other children that i have to raise but i can't forget about this one. i can't because they took him from me. it's not like a medical condition. someone took my son from me. he was a good boy. he went to school. i have to walk across the stage and get his diploma while these men walk the street and have children and not accountable for what they have done is just wrong, and i

want justice for my child, and i will continue to come here and i will continue to stand out here until this happens until the day i die. i want my children to do this for their children. >> thank you. >> commissioners good evening. for the record i am email lorenz. i came not to speak on the death on o street but i changed my mind in the audience. we have an issue before the police commission and the police department because the mta has refused to act or not capable to act even though they're part of

the charter of city and county of san francisco and they haven't acted or the state and we have these taxis that are unregulated and come from the school of unemployed. they don't have jobs. or registration. they're right in front of the police picking up passengers like they're a licensed taxicab. the state grants the power the police to do something. i don't know if you have this but like was said we know who the killers are. you have enough to go to trial on that. we know who the taxicabs are. they're

unemployed and tray drive without a business license, half of them without proper insurance and no training. no training to drive, answer the phone and text while driving. you don't really need much to go on than that. they don't even have a business license to do business in san francisco but they do so anyway. the mta has refused to act. we brought this up subject up in front of the board of supervisors and they just looked at us and i am looking around what do we need, another fatality or two, maybe a grandmother or young boy run over by uber cab before something happens? last but not least we talked about economic

and income disparities these taxi drivers are before you because it's like adding 1800 police men and cutting the salaries in half and doing it again and that's what is happening to the taxi industry in san francisco. their income is plummenting. as you add more cabs to the system as economic goes down at the same time stress and other things go up. >> and i thank you for your time on this issue. >> thank you. clyde good evening. >> i tell you i'm on east coast west coast laitly. i get more than you want to know. [inaudible] talk about police contribution chief suhr. >> >> i know you know. is emailed it to. but let's be doing

this. remember five years ago what we were look at? great work by sfpd. not only sfpd but the citizens. great work by a young man who tipped off somebody on the website so you people arrested the guy -- you know what i am talking about? she knows what i am talking about. i'm not going into the details. i get a lot of tips. someone got on the web and tipped somebody on a homicide. sfpd got him and this young lady. chief suhr i think was on kgo this morning and he mentioned it. hey, if you know about a homicide just tell us. you don't have to give your name, did anything. text it, fax it,

email it, deliver it, throw it. we don't have to know your name. it's like this young lady. you know and we all have to live with that. you have a good evening. >> thank you clyde. >> good evening and welcome back. it's a new year so we're going to get even more wonderful things accomplished this year than we did last, and i am here to talk you about some wonderful things -- wonderful things i have accomplished thanks to captain jason turn isand people at the tenderloin station. i am very disturbed hearing the high

pitched drug signaling whistle when i hear it outside of my window at my hotel coming from the street. it's even more disturbing when i hear the whistle when it's coming from the hallway in front of my door because of the dope nest which is next door to me, and i realize that my peace was being disturbed because people are smoking -- god only knows what but it's not tobacco and laughter and choking and murchgies delivered at 2:00 o'clock in the morning and i went to the tenderloin station and i need copy of the policy for disturbing the peace so i get a copy of that to my hotel manager, and they put it off. the only reason i'm not putting it on the overhead is because

you don't need to see the commercial for the commercial attorney and the importance of this policy so everyone understands it section 415b inflicting loud noises on others any individual who knowingly bothers someone else open paren such as a neighbor close paren. so i know that i can call and if the police do show up. i never know what the officers are going to encounter. i learned one of the people was most problematic admitted to the officers that he uses methamphetamine so i thought i need to handle that more carefully than i have in the past so again i want to thank captain jason turnis and the guys at the tenderloin police station for coming out

and dealing with incredible stu pid itd. you're not paid enough to do that job. they're not and the sorts of things they have to put up -- if it were up to me i have a purse and i'm not afraid to use it. no man wants to get hit by a woman's purse. thank you. >> next speaker. welcome back. how are you? >> there is a button on the side here. can someone help me out here? >> what are you looking for? what are you trying to do? >> i got disconnected. is there

a button? >> [inaudible] >> no. because i have plugged it up. >> [inaudible] >> nope. >> not getting the feed there. i can call down stairs to see if they can get you one. >> well, i will work on the video. let me see here. >> nope. i can call down. let's see. >> well, it's definitely plugged up but maybe next time. i think the problem is on black friday there was an incident where there was -- there's about 15 officers -- it was black friday and there was a guy who evaded

the fare and he ran up the stairs and there were officers at the top of the stairs and it sounded like one of the officers kicked him in the back while another officer had his gun drawn. the person -- it appeared like he was just sitting down like he was going to tie his shoe. i think i am just very disturbed in that -- i mean just -- i don't know why -- you know, somebody that's halfway compliant would be kicked in the back with officers -- with an officer with his gun drawn. i wish i had the voo. it's not coming up. at this meat i am getting concerned for my. >> >> personal safety. the tenderloin is very highly policed. i am just very concerned. the other thing too

people are talking about the taxicab drivers and probable cause. i mean a bunch of people standing on a corner to me is probable cause. someone with a paper bag with some type of beverage in it is probable cause. a taxicab with four -- three, 4-foot pink mustache is probable cause. it just sondes -- i mean , well, you can figure it out. i don't know. i just -- i'm -- mr. marshall -- yeah, i am wondering how do i personally feel safe alive and free when i see these officers -- they just -- it just seems

over board and someone commit committed a crime and trying to comply and using deadly force on somebody who is halfway trying to comply. i'm really concerned here. i did put a complaint in so one of you will be dealing with it hopefully. >> thank you very much. next speaker. hearing none public comment is now closed. please call the next item. >> can you put that back the way you had it? >> line item 3a chief's report

discussion review of recent activities. >> good evening chief. >>i want to reassure the public and the commission that some of the other things that the previous speakers were talking about texting and driving on the phone when driving, double parking. those are violations that we will be strictly enforcing. my comments earlier were trying to make the distinction between occupied, unoccupied, personal insurance, whatever. that's a real tough issue obviously just by the way it was explained for the officers to try to figure out on the fly, so we look for clear direction on the law, and we will strictly enforce those vehicle code violations that were also described in your comment, so i hope that's at least something you want to hear from me. and we will speak more to the traffic presentation during the presentation later

on. happy new year everybody. we did close 2013 out well with regard to deadly violence and overall gun violence which is a good thing. i think when you add in what we did last year after the newtown event and the other two gun buy backs. thank you dr. marshall for the omega one. i think we took in as many guns as any other agency and i think that makes a difference. there was a 30% homicide reduction from last year to this year; although i appreciate clyde's comment that 48 is a good total. it's not a good total if you're anybody that knew somebody that suffered from gun violence last year let a known murdered. i think we have been successful because we have tripled the clearance rate over what it was in 2007 so the

message to those that do gun violence in san francisco let alone homicide and you will go to jail and be prosecuted so hopefully that leaves the city a safer place. i am making use of technology even though we're down officers and the partnerships and the mayor's jobs during the summer has left us with quieter summer for kids and the focus is on positive activity and marching towards a stage for high school graduation and being college or job ready at this point. i think it makes a big difference. so far we had one homicide on the sixth and on market. two men got in an argument and one went to the aid of his son and was the suspect in killing the other men and he was arrested and charged with

murder, so i don't want anybody to think there's a person that stabbed somebody at large. the suspect is in custody and on the same day as a matter of fact of the i will defer my comments until the end of the other two presentations because we have gone on quite a bit unless there are questions. i will ask for the english proficiency -- limited english proficiency presentation to go first. >> good evening president mazzucco and other distinguished members of the commission and occ and members of the community. thank you for allowing me the opportunity to update the progress of the department and what we have

done this year in respect to the community with limited english proficiency. our meetings has set up open dialogue with the community to foster better relationships and our goal is to understand, monitor and train the department members the most frktd way to communicate with those with limited english proficiency. i will go over some statistics and some information and afterwards i would like to show case the video that we put together by our clbtd collaborative efforts show casing upcoming training video. this video will be a elder abuse [inaudible] scenario and rolled out to the stations this month. i have to acknowledge that the mayor was written by [inaudible] by the occ and edited involved and should be recognized for the

efforts she's put in. after the video some of the groups would like to express gratitude to the chief and the commission. so let me get to the numbers. the total number of officers that speak a different language is 451 officers that speak a different language out of the total number and 184 speak spanish but only certified. we have can tonise and mand darren and russian. those are the key languages and 34 tilog and. >> >> vietnamese. this past year the department made contact and had to either summon a certified translator or use language line

2017 times and spanish was used the most and matched the mayor's report when they get a phone call and spanish used the most. we have a list of the times that the other languages were used and other languages 135: of this total not all officers are able to use the language and the language line is used and a officer had to employ language line this amount and occ received 694 complaints. 10 involved these issues and three were sustained. some of the achievements this past year was to put out some department bulletins. one was in 2012 and

three put out in 2013. we put out -- all of epo's are the four core languages and they can download them and when delivered to the victim it can be given in their language of choice. epo -- sorry. epa -- epo. emergency protective order so that when there is a domestic violence that they have a stay aware order of some sort. the second priority was a language card and many times they want to give a report but the psa, public service aid is not able to take the report and we don't want them to go aware so we have a placard that says. >> >> stay here. we will get an

officer to get the report but don't go home and leave." it was important to be printed in the four core language. i think it works if we employ it and it's still in the work out phase and lastly we have another department bulletin identifying every officer with a language skill so when they log on dispatch knows that we need a spanish translator or someone speaking certified spanl they can know how many are working city wide and how many officers speak a certain language and some faster. we still adhere to protocol and we want officers to respond but we can identifies faster that speak a certain language. we've translated almost $3,000 of department fors and notices and during a gang presentation and present in spanish i would like to have this and translate it in spanish we will do that. permits

departments they need things translated we will print that as well in different languages. this past year we certified 17 additional officers in spanish. 24 in canon ease -- and we are training our police service aids regarding these issues and show them videos and past videos and the importance of training them so with that i wanted to acknowledge a couple of the community based organization that are here that have been instrumental in the monthly meetings. obviously [inaudible] occ and [inaudible] from the domestic violence consortium and have people from the asian pacific outreach, women inc., sf

war, community united against violence -- [inaudible] and commissioner chan has been involved as well and also deputy chief beale and tom yolk are involved with these meetings so that has been great so without further adieu let me play this video. >> just a second. we
