that just as long as they are citizens of the city and county of san francisco and even beyond. you are that kind of man to have always done the right thing by us. for that, we want to commend you from the department on the status of women and the commission on the status of women with this commendation. i won't read all of it, but it is befitting that we note certainly that when you were appointed commander of the sfpd minority recruitment. you were the first to recruit the first women and asian to ever serve in a police department in this country and you were also one of the police officers to work and create to certify the officers for justice peace

officers association which includes sfpd minority women officers to this day. with that mind and certainly and other accomplishments that you have been able to bestow upon us in san francisco, it's my honor and pleasure and delight to present this commendation to you, sir. thank you. [ applause ] >> i think lieutenant tapia is on his way up to say a few words. >> thank you, mr. president. tommy, how are you. members of the commission, chief and staff here. you know, they say that victory and success has a hundred parents and failure or defeat is an orphan, right? that's the way it's happened a little bit about the j suit.

troy is very modest when he says "we" he means all of us. he's speaking for all of us, our members of the union. our present justice, sergeant williams, i see tommy oaka here, i see we have something in common. this just that you see started about 41 years ago. and over the years as we pulled together different groups there was 1 person that continually carried it politically socially with a job bringing people in from all over the city. he would ask us members of the office for justice who in the community should i go to and he would take the ball from there and he would pull in the various groups, the gay groups, latinos, and bring

people that they were parties to the suit and obviously we were going to be successful. over the years we all like to say we had a part in it. we did. san francisco should be proud. not only for what we did here, but a lot of people don't know that the stipulations that we set in our suit were used throughout the countries to integrate departments in the south and north for men and women, gay and lesbian. so, but the 1 person that i would see again and again, meetings after meetings, after meetings, nights, weekends, writing proposals, some proposals were funded and even before the suit he was involved and some gradualism efforts to try to change the department and i was there and i saw it. so, if 1 person i think that was the glue that pulled us

altogether and i'm not exaggerating was troy dangerfield. so this honor is very merited and i wanted for you to be able to say this. we were all there and we saw what it too k to bring it alltogether. so troy and rodney, joe williams, mariam jackson, these were my mentors, these were the people that led me to do what i was to do. so i wanted to say this because you know troy, among my mentors, you are most esteemed and if over the years i have acquired the reputation of being a troublemaker or even worse than that, you are responsible. congratulations. [ applause ] .

>> commissioners, now it's our turn. >> lieutenant dangerfield, i want to thank you for serving in the police department in a noble manner for serving in a dedicated way. but i really really want to thank you for being a trailblazer for officers of color, for lgbt. you have been a true mentor. i would have never gotten through lul ak and you pounded on that door and you kept the door for many of us to come through. i have a heartfelt appreciation for that and i want to thank you and we have a legacy to try to maintain that door open and we can't shut that door. i want to thank you, the officers for

justice, the lgbt, asian american police officers, all of them for continuing to keep the door open and thank you for being courageous in taking those first steps, thank you. >> [ applause ] . commissioner chen? >> i am so glad that our board in this office recommended this ward in this honor. he's always been inspiring to me when i first came three 1/2 years ago. i said can i come and say hello and he welcomed me with open arms and it's been great to see you do the work that you have continued to do and been inspired by the work of dangerfield and the lawsuits and the work that you did. if it weren't for those lawsuits there wouldn't be an asian in the department. for the height requirement, i

think it's not fair. when one advocates for another. that's the most powerful to see. when we hear you talk about the women on the commission and the trailblazers, you continue to inspire people. we will march on in what you have taught us. >> thank you, commissioner chan. commissioner kingsley? >> lieutenant dangerfield, thank you very much for being here tonight. it's been a real pleasure to honor you and what you have done throughout the history of this department since you first became part of it. it's really a lovefest for you here tonight. so appropriate for you this week of valentines day and i'm so happy that you are able to come here and give us the history you did and share

that with us as well as the other speakers and also for you to be able to see some of the fruits of your early seeds that you sewed so early and you look at the department and the diversity within the department as well as it's commission. we all value you so much. thank you and congratulations. [ applause ] >> dr. marshall? >> this is so fitting it happened in black history month. it's so fitting. you know i'm going to quote somebody, "if there is no struggle, there is no progress" struggle doesn't always guarantee progress but there is no progress without struggle. the key to me is struggle. some young people

don't want to struggle. they just don't get it. maybe that's our fault because we don't teach them what they need to be taught. so i just have to thank you for struggling. that's the thing. tonight you can go home and forget it and so on and so forth, really, but you see the goal, you keep your eyes on the prize and none of these things happen without the trouble. america is a beneficiary of trouble because it wasn't right in the beginning and focus -- folks like you make it right. you deserve everything because of the struggle. so congratulations. [ applause ] >> i need to say one thing before i turn it over to commissioner turman to wrap it up. i have known you since i was a kid, a long time. i remember those days of the

struggle. my father always thought the world of you as a member of the san francisco police family and the department and i look out at this audience and i look at marian jack and jackson. you did fight the fight. look what it's done. it's amazing. you can put your head in the pillow tonight and know that you have done something in this world. i will never forget my daughter was a freshman in high school and my mother saw the list in the school and there was a troy dangerfield. my mom was so excited. that's got to be troy's grandson. sure enough he is. i worked with your son in the d. a.'s office. you left quite a legacy. i want to thank you for everything you've done. you've made it possible for two of my dad's partners, water field, for

many years, arthur fox who is no longer with us. my dad started the international house of pancakes. he put on 30 pounds. because of you he progressed. i want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. >> the chief has one more presentation? good evening, my name is arlene drummer. i was on welfare. i went from welfare to the san francisco police department and that is all because of troy and the department. along with sample, james norman. these guys spent every week training us to take the test. we had to take the physical and we ran and they even gave up on us. we had to climb the wall. we did that and he did an excellent job

because i became a police officer and i'm retired. so i am just so grateful to them that they took time out to see and help others and become a police officer. he did such a wonderful job. i couldn't say anything when they did the ceremony for him a couple months ago. you know sometimes you wait till people die to say nice things. i want to let him know that i will always be grateful for the time that you took out. if you want to know a minority recruitment, talk to troy. bring him back. they are having a hard time getting women and black and whatever in, talk to troy. they did it. they did a job well. i love you and i will always be grateful for what you and others did. thank you. [ applause ]

>> lieutenant dangerfield, i wish i had something more profound to say than what the others said, as i look around i see what you deserve and everybody here from our colleagues on the board of education and status of women, you are surrounded by city family and memorial family and surrounded by your own family. i hope if there is one thing that you take away from here tonight is that we all appreciate the road you paved for us. we appreciate the road that you laid that led to me sitting on this commission as vice-president and all the different people from all the different backgrounds. a

strong officer citizens complaint, a remarkable city department, a remarkable city is built on the foundation of somebody that is laid by you. i'm please to join my voice with the rest of the folks here tonight and with san francisco. thank you so much. [ applause ] >> can we adjourn the meeting now on a high note? i guess not. [ laughter ]

>> all right. can you please call line item no. 2, the consent calendar. >> line item two consent calendar receive and file action. sfpd and occ fourth quarter status report on general orders and policy proposals.

>> commissioners you have your senior packet. any questions or comments regarding the occ's status report. hearing none. is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> do i have a motion? >> move to prove the consent calendar. >> second. >> all in favor say, "aye". >> aye. >> please call line item 3. city clerk: general public comment. the public is now welcome to address the commission regarding items that do not appear on tonight's agenda but that are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission speakers shall address their remarks to the commission as a whole and not to individuals commissures or department or occ personnel. understand police commission rules of

order. please limit your comments to 3 minutes. >> good evening. i was in incognito. how did you recognize me? it must have been the dimples. first of all i want to say once again happy black history month and i'm very proud of lieutenant dangerfield. because it's hard to be an ice breaker, it really is. it's just hard to do that. he did that very well. secondly, i wanted to let you know the continuing saga of the dangerous dog thing. let's see if this will work. as you can see there is going to be a march 6, 2014, hearing regarding the dangerous dog that happens to be jackie. she's a female

dog. i want to thank again the officers who helped make this possible, the officer lee who dug through all sorts of forms to find something i can write on that he turned into a police report that i can forward to the dog unit. i spoke with the hearing officer, i can't say his name. we got this thing all set up. he sent it to the mail and i received it to the sro and we are going to have it addressed to the chief of police. we are looking forward to the hearing. the dog and i had another glare off this afternoon. she backed down. the second thing is i want to commend captain turn as. we has coffee this morning. he

knows how important being on time is to me. we spoke about issues having to do with the 400-block of farrell. it's getting better. it's funny about this is where the mayor wants the library cleaned up. captain puts out a newsletter every week and i go down and pick up my copy. on january 30th, there was a person that had a citation issued at the library. "suspended from the library" the suspect through a backpack at the security guard. citation issued. he's done a good job. the people working with him are doing a wonderful job as best as they can. but chief, we really do need more officers there. if

all possible. >> thank you. next speaker, mr. ace washington. >> when i come here i'm very well respected. i'm very happy to help celebrate officer dangerfield. you talked about some of his courage and things he's done. maybe what i'm doing in 25 years when my kids will come and say, daddy, you've done a wonderful job too. but i want to say there is problems in my neighborhood. there is things that officers have no idea. you know my history. i came up here many of years and been beaten down by police and serving in my community. i have served like a police officer but i have no badge

and no gun. but your officers and down at the northern station, your captain, i go in there and at times i can't speak to the sergeant and they say there is no one there. how can that be at northern station? is it because that ace comes there. let me thank you for arresting people from the shooting which is a half block at your own station which comes a long time for you to come after someone for a shooting on your own block. i know most of those youngsters that have been shot. what i'm here today is asking for an investigation at the northern station to find out what the hell is going on. who is in control. this is black history month, you will see that we are under served as african americans. that's without a doubt. my issue here today is abuse of power and trying to find out. the police do not have the inside on what's going on in our

community. yoshi's for instance. is being closed down. i have been arrested three times for a yoshi situation. i'm still standing here and asking for you all to give some consideration in policing san francisco. community policing. i asked for the list in northern station for people that's on the board. they sent me to the police station. they said why did they tell you to come here? because there was no cooperation. now, what am i here for today is to show that there is some disparity going on in my community where people use the police department. i know i have a minute here. i want to ask the captain to find out what's going on here. i do plan to take it to the streets out there because i don't want to be bothered by the police. i'm not a criminal. i'm an

activist. i want to serve my community like you all do. maybe i need a badge that says untouchable. i'm not a criminal. i have been arrested so many times and the crimes have been dropped because they hold me illegally. so i don't have time to say, but happy black history, i'm tickled, not pink, but black. i do see a lot of changes here. it's good. chief has known me for a number of years an i have worked with one of the chiefs. >> sir, your time is up. >> thank you, mr. washington. >> good evening president mazzucco, commissioners, my name is marty hall ren. in may of 2013 i was pointed president of the san francisco police officers association with the retirement of the past

director. as it's daunting enough, i had prior service as treasurer as well as vice-president. i also had to run a campaign because i was only fulfilling gary's term. we've had one of the largest turn outs of my membership. they have voted me as president. i will be named president as the president of the poa. i want to come tonight and publically thank the members for getting involved and i want to let the commission that i want to work with all of you for the betterment of the san francisco police department. i can be reached pretty much 24/7. i found out that my phone goes off all hours of the night now that i'm president. so i know there is going to be issues that we

disagree on and i want to pledge that i will maintain a healthy and open dialogue with this commission so we can best serve the members of the san francisco police department who are serving our community. so, that was my only reason for an appearing here tonight. thank you for your time. >> i want to say welcome and thank you and we look forward to working with you and it's actually somebody we are familiar with and we've worked with before. just congratulations to you in your new position. >> commissioner chan. >> welcome. thanks for your service of the leadership. i assume we are invited to the swearing in. when and where is it? >> absolutely, you are all invited at the san francisco police officers association we are right next to the hall of justice. second floor, next wednesday, the 19th, noon.

>> thank you. >> congratulations. president. >> thank you. >> congratulations, president . i know you got shoved into this position. i believe you are going to be an excellent president of the police officers association. you have been a great police officer and you have been out on the street and you have the respect of the rank and file, obviously they voted for you. you are a true san franciscans and i'm glad you are doing this. >> thank you, it's hard to believe from the days of you and i running the halls of old sacred heart that you are a president and now i'm a preside. thank you chief. >> thank you. >> is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. >>

city clerk: line item 4 a chief's report. review of recent activity. >> i will keep my comments light in honor of lieutenant. very quickly before we do the presentation. we sadly had two fatalities. both drivers were charged with vehicular manslaughter. again, our commitment to cite and/or arrest at the scenes are happening. i urge the drivers to slowdown and please pay attention. again, these are life changing experiences for anybody that's obviously seriously hurt or killed and

particularly anybody else that doesn't think they are going to be charged. that is going to be the case. we have to get everybody's attention. on another note we did have two shootings, one was referenced by one of the speakers in the western edition. officers were able to identify them. there was a pursuit where there's a collision but known was seriously injured and they did get the suspects who are responsible into custody and there was another shooting in the bayview and the officers were able to identify the persons responsible and they were taken into custody last night. so the officers are out there doing the work. thankfully needed shooting was fatal, but again, the officers are, they are where they were supposed to be. god love them for that. we have had some events. a recent note, the merchants honored officer on

this commission and officer pad more, the principal and make a wish and david cap with his reserve program. i attended a press conference where senator mark poleno and nancy skinnier introduced activation legislation that will take effect in january. it passed that will require every cellphone sold in california to have a kill switch which should go a long way to reduce robberies. we were at the black history month kickoff at city hall which was, it's always a lot of fun. a lot of kids. i actually met with commissioners loftus and marshall on monday with the bayview alliance to discuss crime and violence in the bayview and even though from where it was at it's height five or sick
