the public to slow down, bicyclists and motorists for the sake of our cap able friends over at the occ, and we don't want more occ complaints and we take no pleasure in writing tickets, we would rather everybody's money to stay in their pocket books, if everybody would slow down and pay attention and again, to folks that are not in the cars, i get that sometimes the cars are aggressive, but sometimes you can be right and some of these instances or killed, and i am not siding with the cars i am just asking for the people to be smart and protect themselves until we can get a handle on this thing. so with that, i am going to give it over to sergeant krudo and he is going to make the presentation on the firearm discharge review board findings
3:31 pm

3:33 pm
captain david lazar of the training division as a non-voting advisory member, and that is a new addition to the fdrb. the first case that was considered was the officer involved discharge, 008-13. which occurred on october 17, 2013, and this was a case involving two biting dogs in this case, the officers were following up on a cold burglary report and two dogs came out of the door and attacked the officers. and one officer fired defensive and the two officers present. that was found in policy. the officer involved shootings that were reviewed were case 11.003, this case occurred on june 29th, 2011, and on the golf street between eddie and ellis and in this particular instance, two officers were following up on an investigation involving an armed suspect at large.
3:34 pm
they responded to this area, and were immediately confronted with the armed suspect who was going to be in the leading area, the suspect pointed a hand gun at the officers and the officers returned fire and the suspect attempted to flee and the officers fired again at the fleeing final and so on. and the suspect was struck twice and taken into custody.. and that is ongoing at this time. this case was found to be in policy. 11.005, this occurred on the broad way corridor in 2011 and 2:00 a.m., uni formed officers from the central station were in the area when they noticed a suspect matching a fugitive description. when the officers attempted to obtain the subject he began to run from the officers and during the course of the pursuit pulled a tech nine pistol from his waste band and one of the officers fired and
3:35 pm
the suspect was taken into custody and he was not struck. and that was found in the policy. ois, 11-006 occurred on november third, 2011, this was on the 600 block of tungston street and in this particular case, the officers responded to a residence regarding a report of a stabbing. and the officers were confronted with a victim out in front of the residence that reported that his son had attacked him inside and there were other residents inside. and the officers went inside and found a second mortally injured victim who happened to be the suspect's mother and as they were trying to provide emergency evacuation and attend to the victim, the suspect confronted the officers, and ignored the commands and one officer fired twice in defense of all present. and the suspect was mortally struck. this was found to be in policy.
3:36 pm
>> and then i will give you an update on the status of the officers, those were the four cases considered. i will give you an update on the open officer-involved shooting investigations. and what it is a different format and i will point out that says that i believe that you have the hand out and that says 20 open cases as of yesterday's 21. so, three of the cases, it was, the cases were 11-003, and 005 and 006 were presented to the commission. and one case that we have received the charge and decisioning from the da. and that is at homicide. and they are finalizing the criminal investigation and that will be forwarded to us. and ied. and in the cases are with the district attorney office and those, and they are either
3:37 pm
reviewing the case files or preparing summary letters, they do, i have a better understanding of their process, but they do, they get the case file and they review it and prepare a summary report and it is reviewed and they prepare a summary letter and which is forwarded to our department to the homicide and then that closes the homicide investigation. 8 cases and 8 of the ioses are in that charge with the da. and three of the cases have been opened since the last time that i was here before you, 13008, 009 and 14001 i will add four cases obviously as of yesterday, 14002. and then finally the cases are ongoing active, and iad and or homicide investigation. >> just to address the specific cases i mentioned that i am not going to repeat, but i mentioned the three ois from
3:38 pm
2011 and those are for all purposes closed and actually since this was prepared you should have received the summary reports from and those are finished. and in the new cases that have started and you will not see 14-002 yet, that is like i said, just yesterday. but, 13-008, 009 and 14-001 are new cases, that have gone at least as far as the return of the presentation and those are new since the last fdrb. and excuse me, since the last quarterly presentation. and then, this is just a summary of the investigations by year. >> and so 113, 5, and 6, have been found in policy, and those cases will be closed and you received the summary letters. and opposite of the district attorney is drafting the letter on 11-007 and they are
3:39 pm
preparing the final charging decision on 11-008 and the oldest case. and 12-001. homicide is awaiting the final charging decision for that. and homicides, awaiting the final charging decision on 002. 003, is still waiting the eme and the medical examiner report and so that is father along. and the other cases from 2012 are with the da and they are among the 8 cases that i mentioned in the charging decision. >> 13-001, 002, are in the same condition as the cases from 2012. and the remaining cases are active and ongoing investigations 13-3 through 13-7 were active the last time that i spoke to you and receipt maining cases 13-008, and 009,
3:40 pm
and 14-001, and 002 are new cases since the last time that we appeared. >> in the investigations. and 14-002 is we have a calendar to the return to duty next. great. >> well, thank you, sergeant. and so, so, we have some cases from 2011 still sitting in the district attorney's office and we have one case at this point. and we are back on it. >> sure. >> 007. >> and 13-007, homicide has received the letter and 13-008 are drafting the decision letter and they are working on the letter now. >> they have made the changes in the process and i have been talking to the folks over there and one of the things that they have been doing was holding until the criminal case had
3:41 pm
been adjudicated. and so they have changed that process and also spread the work instead of going through one person to work on the letter of parallel now and so you are taking the steps to access rate the process. >> that has been my concern and i know that they are cautious and take it seriously and i am glad that they are signing the cases to the other assist an das and it is good to know that they are waiting for the public to know for example, if there is an officer involved shooting, and the suspect also was being charged with an unrelated offense and with an assault on the officers, it takes times for those case to conclude in the criminal courts, before the issue their final decision and so it is good to know that now, so thanks for the clarification. commissioner loftus? >> thank you, for every quarter i feel like it is helping understand and see things moving. and so, i note, that the eight cases, i think that have transitioned since the last time, you came to see us, and
3:42 pm
it seems as though your one charging decision that we got from the last caughter from the district attorney office on your list. >> the letters that we presented we received all of those charging decisions. those, once we get the charging decision, it is a fairly quick process to close it. so the three that were presented, the three oises, 11, 3, and 5 and 6 presented at the last quarterly fdrb, when i spoke last time we did not have the letters. >> so those that we finished all of the last parts. >> but we and okay. and we closed out since receiving the letters >> so this is another and, this is why this is helpful for me to understand that these are cases from 2011 and going to the firearm discharge review board and just for the point of clarification for me to understand that time line and that process and i had an understanding that those were
3:43 pm
reviewed close ner time to the incident and if you could get me and remind me that the colleagues might already know this what the factors are that made it ready to go. >> the firearm discharge review board is summarizing both the criminal and the administrative investigations and so, all of the piece haves to be closed. there are. and the, the administrative investigation by the internal affairs is depending on the criminal investigation and so that has to be concluded, obviously, if there was a criminal issue that was determined, you know, out there and the criminal kulpability that would have to be concluded on the criminal investigation side, and in addition to the district attorney's review and process. which is outside of our control. there are other dependencies that may include the medical
3:44 pm
examiner's officers and criminal and the crime lab issues and the other factors that play into that, but once the criminal investigation by our department, these investigations are conducted by homicide and, our homicide division, and once those are concluded then they are presented to the da for review and then the da as you know is conducting the own concur ant investigation, and they are a process is internal and but they put their both investigations together, and they make a determination and review the case files and it is my understanding and then they prepare a report for the final charges decision. >> and then, after they get that, then, they write their charging decision letter. and so that triggers all of those things would trigger a presentation before the firearms discharge. >> right and then it is ready and then we can speak to the review board about what the findings of the two investigations were and that is
3:45 pm
really the purpose to present it to the command letter for the executive review and to the chief and and so we are able to and we cannot present the closed investigation until they are closed. right. >> and so i just woman to echo what president mazzucco said and you have been hearing from us about how much we want these to and how important it is that the investigation is thorough but this investigation is justice delayed and denied. and you better age them and if there was cultbility found and it would cause it, and i am glad that you are working with the da's office to identify the area the areas that we can work with the board and those three cases were presented and on top of that you got the letter on the fourth case and i wish that i could say that it was something that i did and these things have been in process and i, got a better et indication and kienld of what the process
3:46 pm
is on their side and it is invisible >> you are the guy that comes before us and we ask you to make magic to happen and you have little control over it and so accept my gratitude. >> the report as well and i am confused on the status of the 13-004. >> can you talk to me a little bit about that. >> sure. >> 13-004? >> well, 13-004, that was, and that case is closed. so that case has already been through this entire process and you may remember, that was an accidental discharge officer was injured cleaning a weapon. >> okay. >> and so that qualifies as an officer involved shooting and this was obviously the criminal investigation was really kind of an non-issue. >> there is no non-issues and the administrative investigation and that was quick. >> and it is not involved.
3:47 pm
>> yes, sir. >> thank you. >> yeah. >> and anything further for sergeant? >> thank you, sergeant. >> thank you, sergeant. >> thank you, sean. >> thank you. >> our next presentation, david deputy chief chin, i am sorry it is going to be director marine ganin and my capable cfo and her aid to camp welch for the fiscal, 2014, 15 budget. >> good evening commissioners. >> good evening. thank you for inviting us to present the budget. we will be doing a presentation similar to last year's very high level and hopefully informative, but of course, we are open to questions and if you have any further questions you can always come and see me in our office. >> first of all we would like to thank the commissioners for
3:48 pm
advocating for the department, or two years ago for our hiring plan, and it is created a lot of stability within the department and we have been able to move forward to continue to hire 150 officers every year. and so thank you for your efforts on that part and i would like to thank the mayor's office and the mayor's staff, jason in particular and kate howard and the controller's staff and the assistants for helping us work through the process and the department staff has provided a lot of input and so we have surveyed our staff to see what they would like to see in the budget. and the chief for being a great advocate for the mayor's staff in particular, helping us with it and capitol project funding. >> and so here is our basic outline for tonight. and we have talked about the budget overview. and we give you an update on the sworn hiring plan, and our new building, which will be ready to occupy in the fall, our capitol improvement project and our technology projects and our vehicles.
3:49 pm
>> so this is graphickically the revenue that we received in the department. as you can tell, the blue portion, the 78 percent, is general fund, that is the money that we get allocated from the mayor's office. and we get about 46 million dollars, from the state revenue. we have a bureau out at the airport and they pay us for all of the services and the other departments pay us for the services as well. and the fees, and fines and charges are 8 million dollars. and so again, we are largely a general fund department. >> so, our expenditures, as we would expect about 88 percent of our budget is made up of salaries so we spend a lot of time monitoring our salaries and our over time.
3:50 pm
so the 50 million fringes are about 121 million. and professional services are 14 million and they consist of our rent, on our non-... excuse me, the non-city owned rent, and utilities and maintenance, are litigation and claims are about 3 million, and the annual it software and licensing support is about 3 million and other large expenses of our copying and printing services about a million dollars. and training expenses are about a million dollars, and also, included in professional services are translation, services and that is about 30,000 dollars in the year that we spent on translation. and materials and supplies, are uniform for the officers and run about half a million. i am sorry, the office supplies are a half million and the uniforms and safety equipment
3:51 pm
are about 2 million, computers and it hardware is about 400,000, a crime lab is about a half a million and the marine unit fuel is about 80,000. our capitol out lay is significant, and it is about 6 and a half million dollars. we pay about 800,000 on our leased financing and so we are paying the debt service on the vehicles that we have purchased under a bond. and we have the new replacement for cars and about 3 and a half million dollars and a special revenue funds and about 365 and we use for our marine unit and our id bureau. and our department charges by other departments of what other departments charge us, and in particular, the workers cost us about a 14 million dollar charge throughout the year and the it and the city wide it that supports the
3:52 pm
infrastructure and the accounting system is about 10 million and the vehicle maintenance and fuel charges are 5.6 million dollars which is growing every year. our city owned facilities and utilities there are 6 and a half million and then we have miscellaneous smaller work orders with the sheriff and da and medical examiners and that is about two and a half million dollars. >> so, these work orders are what we get from other departments and so we perform the services and they pay us and as you can tell, the airport is our largest consumer of our services, 50 million dollars and mta. is about 8, 8 and a half million. public utilities, the library, the human services, and mosconi and treasure island, public works, and the airport, we have 179 sworn officers and 140 civilians and mta, supports 57
3:53 pm
positions. so this is an important slide and this is showing our the growth in our sworn number of officers here. and so you can say that in 13, 14, we had 2201 sworn ftes, and this year, what we are projecting is 2274, which reflects the 150 officers, that we hired last year that are annualized and that is the equivalent of 55 ftes that we are going every year. and the civilians are growing slightly. and so this is good news, and so we are slowly getting up to our authorized strength. and as you know, we are and we have been funded for more positions because at me given time we have a number of officers on leave. >> so this graphickically represents our hiring plan, as
3:54 pm
you can see. the red line is the charter line, where we are supposed to be in the 1980. the purple line is what would have happened had we not instituted the hiring plan and so you can see that we were continuing to drop the green, arrow is where we are at now which is exactly where we predicted that we would be and so we are coming up every year with the anticipation that in december of 2018, we will be at the charter mandated level. here is our hiring plan update in 2012, 13, our goal was to hire 150 people with general fund and we did do that. and the airports funded 30 positions for us. and so we graduated 183 officers, in the current year. and we are budgeted for 150 and we have 100 people enrolled in the academy now, and then in
3:55 pm
14, 15, again, the hiring plan, 150 and the airport has committed to fund, 15 academy slots and that is in addition to the 150 that we have and the same thing in 15/16, 150 from general fund and 15 from the airport. so our new building is almost ready to go, within anticipated occupantcy date of november third, 2014, and we did a tour over the holidays and it is very exciting to see the structure a lot of it and very open, but, things are moving right along and the city is hiring a move management company and their name is vision's management, and the first kick off meeting with the department with our move liaisons is february 19th and so we are starting to make progress on the actual physical move of what we can take and
3:56 pm
who is going to be where the rfp has just concluded for the work stations and so that will be going and the dpw is handling that for us and that will be awarded shortly. >> and in our it, projects as you are well aware we have a lot going on in it. and in 14/15, we have funding for our crime data warehouse and there are 750,000 to expand some of the capabilities of running suspects and mobile applications for cased writing. in addition to it we have 400,000 to upgrade the mot ems in the control cars and so they can they can access the crime data web sites faster and the mobile data we have another half a million from coite and the smart phones have been helpful and on the smart phones
3:57 pm
we have access to 82 languages and the application and we have the capability to talk on 43 languages, talk to text, is that kind of an interesting feature and it is very interesting if you have a chance to have susan demonstrate that for you it is cool. and so in 15, 16, we just put in a request for the east citations which is a new initiative that has made the highest priority and requested the million dollars. and susan is taking the lead on that. and we are going to continue to expand the crime data warehouse and another 750,000 is what we are asking for again. and we are also asking 300,000 to replace the doc's video wall. the existing system is aging quite fast and so we are asking for some additional money to
3:58 pm
replace that. so our capitol projects in the current year we have done a lot of work out at the stables and we have the plans and the improvements for the new structure and it is a storage shed for the hay and the equipment and a retaining wall and some drainage and so that is very helpful. the lake merit and the range renovations and some improvements in the actual physical building. in 14, 15, we have funding for mission station and some security fencing around as you know, that has been an issue out at mission station and we are looking for sally port rus parking lot improvements out at the academy and hvac and electrical up grades in a number of the stations as well as the hot water supply system to make the water systems more efficient. out at the stations.
3:59 pm
on a new request for 15/16, we will be to continue to improve the station and do the fencing around the park station similar to the mission station similar to security and doing the work out at the academy, lighting and carpeting and also looking at trying to do some consolidation of property storage at the hall of justice as we move into the new building, while free up some space at the hall of justice and so we are hoping to be able to consolidate the equipment and store it at the hall of justice and continue a lease at a private facility and the vehicles again, continue to be a priority for the department. and we have done, you know, some studies and compared our policies with other jurisdictions and the best practices would dictate that we would replace 138 vehicles every year, last year we received the funding for 30
4:00 pm
marked vehicles only and so of course, that fell well below the mark this year we are schedule to get 60 marked vehicles, and we have put together a funding request for another 68 vehicles, which includes some utility vehicles and motorcycles which we have not received in 2 years, and some unmarked vehicles and so that is going to be a big push for us and it will be a struggle, i think that get additional funding but it is the priority for us and so we are looking at trying to replace some of our older cars and if you look at our chart here in the table, the 4.8 million 5.1, and 5.6 that is our central shops budget and that the main nens for what it takes to repair our old vehicles, and the gas on these older vehicles, so we are hoping to replace the new vehicles with more efficient vehicles so we can have less gas.
