operationalal in 1983 and 31 years old. we're originally an officer of the san francisco police department but we were later placed under the jurisdiction of the police commission as an density agency the police commission is a siphon body as the office of sense complainant our function is to assist the police department in being a bridge with the public and police in matters of the misconduct and police policies. your mission is to insure police accountabilities by having unbias is and timely investigations by making recommendations on policy policies and also by conducting mediation. we investigate siphon complaints

against san francisco police officers and make recommendation on police department policies. in cal law enforcement agencies must have a mechanism to receive and investigate sense misconduct and in the office of sense complaint serves that. we're staffed by a difference group of civilians who have never served as police officers. the majority of our staff is divorce and the balance is attorneys and other support staff. we misconduct investigations to find out what happened. we follow the evidence by the interviewing the person who brought the complaint the complainant and interview the police officers and witnesses. we have subpoena appear e power

to compel testimonies and obtain evidence we get additional evidence from the police department from their reports and other documentation. we also visit the site of the alleged occurrence and a while we're conducting site visits we obtain videos. we aim to complete our investigations within 9 months and we must complete them within one year were when we pretty an investigation and make a finding of whether or not the findings of the police was in and out of policy and whether the police officer violated the rules or storl laws. the standard of proof it the preponderance of evidence.

its means that accident probability ever that conduct outdoor is in terms of the probability is greater than 50 percent. if after we conclude our investigation we find that an officer has violate a rule we'll forward that finding to chief surfor further action he can impose up to 10 days suspension and a more serious violation the police hearing has the jurisdiction and they will make a determination on that type of case. but in addition to having the power to recommend discipline to the chief or the commission the agency provides a nondisciplinary with or without route and that's mediation.

we had 59 meditations this represents most of the asia cases our mediation program allows complainants to resolve is cases in a deposition form it is to bring parties together in an effort to achieve mature understanding we have a pardoning partnership with the bar association that provides us with neutral mediators in addition we conduct those mediation in english and other languages what the assistance of open treerlt. the mediation program is volunteer that means both the officer and complainant must agree in order for the mediation to go forward. in 2013 eligible officer

participation was 87 percent our mediation program is known nationwide and last year our mediation don sal search-and-seizure sar with the receipt of the dispute revolution of california. now, some statistics about the complaint we received in 2013. we received said hundred and 27 complaints and this represents a 2 percent reduction in complaints over 2012 with 4 hundred plus complaint. last year, we sustained allegations in 6 percent we found misconduct in 6 percent of the cases we closed. we found proper suck in 25 percent of the allegations and we found that 2 percent of the

allegations were unfounded. the largest percentage of allegations were from misconduct vs. miss misconduct and unnecessary force was part of the angeles we sustained 5 allegations of unnecessary force in 3 cases one of the cases involved 3 officers whom we sustained on unnecessary force finding. moving to the demographics of our complainant in 23 complainants were african-american and caucuses were 37 percent and another 19 percent declined to state their race. african-american were 6 messenger and latin-american were 6 percentage and 2 percentage my understanding.

they speak canning necessary and mandrin and spanish. two of the investigators of the office of sense complaint were spanish. this is important to the occ because the largest number of non-english interviews we conduct are in spanish. for languages other than the ones mentioned we obtain translation services we had 289 intakes in superbly 3 in canning necessary two in mandrin and one of the ethel united states post office languages pea one in korean and one in russian we're located on the 25 van ness near the cornea of market we're on

the 7th floor. during monday through friday we receive walk in complainants between the hours of 8 and 5. we also receive complaint by 12 and e-mail and affection. we're working on an online filing complaint system we've hopeful that will be up and running. for after hours we have an answering service and a our divorce have been known it on the weekend to make a complaint for very serious complaints an individual can file a complaint at the desecrated police station and those complaints are forwarded to us as well at the hall of justice their forwarded to us.

i was his boss when we served at narcotics. my only regret about those two periods that i wasn't nicer to him (laughter) all right. on the slide you'll see the sf pd mission statements we've posted conspicuously in the station as a constant reminder as our commitment to the difference of san francisco and our commitment to provide service with compassion and integrity and my personal

commitment my personal assessment is my commitment to make every neighborhood in the district saver and to enhance the quality of life with the resources i have. you'll which ever hear me say we can't do it, it's motive responsibility to do it with every resource available so that's my commitment to the public. the park district is sunday night by 5 other police districts as you see richmond, carville, mission, northern and eric garcetti site and it's called the park district but you'd think it would be central wouldn't you its centerlinely

located but that route you have to change the northern and changes the name of concern so through the good if he out and go with tradition it's the park district center of the city. now we have portions 5 supervisorial districts in the park district. as you can see some of them are real small areas primarily we work a lot with supervisor wiener and supervisor breed with whom we work well with they're supportive of our endeavors and their quick to forward concerns they get from higher constituents regarding police

manner their quick to forward an e-mail and expect me to take prompt action it's a healthy i didn't relationship we have. the district is divided into 4 geographical sectors and the folks are assigned sectors. i'll get into more detail a little bit later but as you can see the one park jefferson speaking it the twin peaks and the 3 car is hate street and the fourth is embarcadero area in the eastern part of the district.

now a critical component of our success is community engagement. we accomplish this in a number of ways we have a monthly community meeting we host at the station the second tuesday of every month i refer to it as a community meeting slash gala we try to have fun and to encourage attendance we have guest speakers i give a report in the district and open the floor to the public to let me know their concerns and then iowa what everybody is waiting for it is relaying raffle we raffle off door prize which i spare no expense. two of the most were dvdss and one ways entitled moran's from

outer spaces and the.com by these we provide refreshments that are mouth warranted delights that help the taste buds of the awe tends if you haven't come the second tuesday of every month 2:00 p.m. in the park station community room. another way we reach out to the community is my much discussed newsletter mailed to 1 thousand suburbs the arrests made the crimes that have occurred in the district and a lot of public notices we put in it.
