>> good evening. >> i hope that everybody is doing well. >> just to go real quick. listen, we all know how i feel and i hate crime, and terrorism and corruption and i love hard core law enforcement on all levels. so, you know how i feel, and you know what i want, and bring in the hard core law enforcement like i want, all right? and keep standing tall. >> okay, next speaker. >> ace? >> okay, how are you doing, sir? >> good, and i will mention to the chief in the hallway, i didn't come to beat a dead horse down but i did come to say that there is a good example and there are a few bad apples in every fixture of life and there are a few bad actors in the community and don't feel bad and i come mend everybody that is going forward with this issue. as you see here,vy been documenting the police

commissions and meeting for a long time and i go back to we have african american shots by the policemen in our community. >> and it seems when the police shoot the black people and there is no give back to that. but i do appreciate alleged officers, thus, on the camera. and coming to the chief coming forthwith you. >> but i want to show a parallel. and i have a history of at least ten, and the police have participated with the rogue communities, and they have problems, and all of these different issues that we participated as an activist, and but they call the police and the police come in without no knowledge and you know what, because there is no community police and i told you that sir, this is nothing that you should arrest me for. but i was on the police

commission, excuse me, the police african american police relationship board. >> and i have an article here when the mayor men was talking about way back in 206, and we have been up on the record and here i am asking for an internal investigation of northern station, why? >> well, you guys changed your captain more than we change the underwear, this particular captain i do not have a champions to sit down with them but i have the problems with the police and the officers if you run through the tapes and i did not get nobody and i just was there and the asked for who was on the advisory board and couldn't get the list. and the black history month and trying to get a list there and i am going to my archives and i got a list and no cooperation

from the northern station and so i am going to ask for investigation, the officers down there and we have big problems in the community even with me. and i come up here telling you all, how good of your officers are and i worked with it is first mayor who was the chief of police and i was the first black on this campaign and so i will go back with the rank and file with the chiefs of the police, and i am really respected here it is your lower and sometimes of the officers and perhaps your new officers that are come ng and i am requesting that you pull over your community police. >> thank you. >> you have been chomping at the bit, come on up. >> i would like good evening, i have not been around for a couple of weeks i would like to district attorneys a couple of issues, i remember a few years ago, mr. president, and jim, and it was where she was and where she is, but we dealt with

that crime lab. and on the rape kit and now we come back and 720 rape kits not been tested? chief. and did a great job with that and focused on it like a laser and i thought that, and i am apparently a snot. and then the next issue, the police corruption. and i think that we got to focus and we have got 1700, give or take. police officers, so we got five. one retired. and it is not a big deal. i was on the phone with somebody on the east coast. he said that clyde i just put that... and i said what?

he said, pimping chief, and he said, yeah. prostitution, and i said these are cops. we are not that bad. and it happened on your watch. and you know, no it didn't really happen on your watch. it happened on the watch and go down, and layed it off and we put them on ice and you have to deal with it and that is sad. don't you, you are the chief. and it will be all right, though. >> take care people. >> thank you, clyde. >> miss brown? >> hello everyone, my name is paulett brown and i am here concerning my son, and i would like to use the overhead. >> he was murdered on august

14, 2006. his birthday is coming up, in april, april 6th. it was an aries. i miss him very much. i come here because this is my therapy, you guys. sometimes, i don't want to cry, but, i need to. this case is not solved. i am still suffering his mother. and i don't want no one to go through this. these are the guys that killed my son. >> they murdered him. >> sit down.

>> that name right there, thomas, he is a christian name and it is the one that shot him. how long am i going to have to go through this? am not asking for sympathy and i am not asking for anything, i just want justice for my child. and this has been, going on eight years. and i am not here to make you guys feel sorry for me. but, put on a hat as a parent, put all on your parent hat and then you can understand how i feel. and he was only 17 years old. what a life ahead of him. and i am tired, i am literally tired this. and this is something that i hate to be doing for the rest of my life but i have to do it,

because if i don't, i will be in the hospital somewhere. i do this for every mother out there that is going through this, look at my face and you can see those other mothers. and i had this of my child and of his mother's over his casket. and i needed to do this tonight. and i'm also going back to school to get my mental health license and substance abuse certificate so i can understand why people do things the way they do it. but it does not justify taking someone's child from them.

it does not justify what they did to my child. >> and i need the justice. any further public comment? >> public comment is now closed. >> please call line item number 3a, the chief's report. >> okay. >> and line item 3a and the chief's report of recent activities. >> good evening, commissioner and public. and just to address a couple of things that were spoken of first miss brown as we said every week, if we can get anybody to come forward the 24 hour, tip line, is 575-4444, and we would really love to give you closure on your case, and as we have discussed before, some of the folks that are on that list, have been in and out of custody, albeit not for your son's murder.

and so again, whatever we can do, and whatever the public can do to help us. we will do it. >> and as far as the gifts that were spoken of by another speaker, that refers to the 50 lap tops that were donated by hp to the academy some years ago. they were not other gifts, it was 50 laptops. and then, the backlog, captain pray has actually been here to present that going forward in 2014, there will be no backlog and we have a plan for address the backlog that had been acquired over many years, and there was never zeroed out by the commissioner, and so with regard to what is going on, obviously, the events of last thursday, where a couple of speakers spoke of, five police officers being indicted the allegations are serious and the department takes it serious and they have been suspended without pay and if found guilty

and they are entitled to due process and, held innocent until proven guilty and i will recommend the termination and as far as the other officers, i think that mr. washington described it, we have a terrific police department, and the events of the other day have shaken the department, but again, they go out and do a spectacular job and in fact we closed february out as only the second month since 1963 where there were no homicides in the city of san francisco at all. that said, current events, we did suffer what appears to have been a murder/suicide at a convolesent home and all indications appear that to be the case. so all homicides, which now this year are three have also left hand solved. >> on some other matters, the

officers have been busy, and our combined charity from last year were exceeded $200,000 of combined contributions by officers, again, led the city, of all of the city departments and the garfield park, and deployment of officers, and there has completely changed that park now. and if you talk to any of the residents, it is a great plan and a great partnership with the park and rec. and i want to thank the commissioner for being there the other day. and it was actually on thursday. where we promoted, and we had the ceremony which is important and timely and that the supervision is important in making sure that even the suggestion of what was suggested last thursday and we had a departure from the command staff last week and on friday, deputy chief loftus retired and commissioner simes was elevated to deputy chief and captain mozer from the

mission station has replaced him as the commander of investigation and dan pray that i spoke of earlier after his cap able job at the crime lab is the new captain at mission station and i am going to defer the rest of my comments in the lieu that i am losing my voice. >> but i would like to commend commissioner loftus wlo who* was one of the 2014 james irvine foundation leader awards for her work at the center of wellness along with dr. harris, and i had the pleasure of being at the opening last week, and it was incredibly well attended by the mayor, and the attorney general and the district, and on a supervisor cohen daniel leary, and i think that they are on to something it is just too small, so hopefully with all of that support, we can get

at these young kids that are being traumatized when they are relevant little and it is effecting their ability to learn and the only way that they meet the cops is when we are helping them get jobs during the summer time and with that i will close my presentation. >> again, congratulations to commissioner loftus, we are proud of you. >> please call line item 3 b, occ director's report. >> occ direct's report, discussion and review of the recent activities. >> good evening president mazzucco, and commissioner and chief sir and members of the audience, i don't believe that we have had a meeting since the occ, met with a representatives on valentines day. of the ucdavis police accountability office. you know, although we did have a meeting in the community, i

didn't have an opportunity to report this. the uc davis, uc davis is establishing a police accountability board in light of the incident that occurred on or in 2011, november of 2011 with occupy protestors where they were pepper sprayed and it is the first of its kind on a campus where there will be representatives from the faculty and also from the student body, to invest gate complaints civilian complaints, of misconduct against a university police, and the attorney is vargus and sam and as well as deputy director eric and i, it has been about three hours, describing to the chief compliance officer at uc davis.

how we do things at the office of citizen complaints and i commend the chancler at uc davis for implementing this in light of what occurred, and to bring a sense of police accountability to the students and the faculty at that campus. and the pepper spraying that took place at uc davis resulted in over a 1 million dollar settlement to the 30 or so, demonstraters who were pepper sprayed. >> next week you will hear a lot from me and i will be delivering the occ report as well as the comprehensive statistical report for february and that concludes my report for this evening. >> thanks, director hicks. >> any questions for director hicks? >> great. please call item three, c.

>> commission report and discussion and commission president's report and commissioners report. >> i just have a report,dy attend as the chief told you the promotional ceremony last thursday and it was great to see all of the new young sergeants and the new commander. and it was great to see the families celebrating their success in the police department and it was a great opportunity to see the future leaders of the department and remind them, that we do hold them to very high standard because they hold the public trust in their hands and i tell you there is a great batch of young sergeants lieutenants and a commander and the sergeant and there are books on the ground that do the day-to-day supervisors and it was a great group and on friday i attended the last day retirement party for deputy chief john loftus who has been before this commission on numerous occasions and he is well known for his very brief, presentations, sometimes too brief, commissioner chan? >> and i teased him because

sometimes he gets up to speak and the chief would turn and goes here comes the voice and he put on his voice but he is a great leader and he served almost every capacity in this department. with honor. and he was a perfect gentleman, a great investigator and i heard a little story yesterday, i was talking to an individual who works in the police gas station and he told me that department loftus, said thank you for everything that you do. thank you for everything that you do. and that is the leader. and just sort of sums it up and he is going to be greatly missed and enjoy his retirement, but he was a good guy. >> commissioners? >> commissioner chan? >> i will certainly miss deputy chief loftus and two of my favorite police officers and since i joined the police commission and the yuf nile justice policy and i am sad that i think that they look too young to retire because they

object to that. and i know that they are going to do a lot for it and going forward as the alumni of the department and so a couple of things, we know that commissioner kingly is no longer to the commission and she reorganized her house and did the detailed and commissioner turman and all of the things that we need to do and commissioner kingsley is also the one on the commission that asked the very detailed and very thoughtful questions and she listens to every word of every presentation here. and she is something who is very compassionate and very hard and committed to the city. and i am sad that she is not on the commission any more but i know that she is moving on to bigger adventures and two more things and one is a couple of weeks ago on valentine weekend, on the lum nar parade, goit to walk with the chief. and the line members of the department and it was the coolest percent ever and

hundreds of thousands of people and i was waving and my husband joined me and how exciting to with in the city and, i assume and it was quite exciting and lastly, the crisis intervention team and i wanted to mention that mental health association and which is a major association here in san francisco and in the mental health policy issues. and at their banquet this friday and i just learned about this, and he is going to train up the cit officers and to really get it going, this apparatus of connecting our cit offices with the need and there is a lot of need to be done and the commander took up that work and is engaging in it and he is recognized and that is exciting. >> there will also be a panel specifically about the san francisco cit program this coming friday at the dignity and recovery conference and i will be on that panel and

support the work that they are doing and the mental elth providers and it will be on this friday. and around and is there anything further? >> okay, if you like to call item... well if you call line item 3 d. >> i would like to make an announcement. >> okay. >> do you want to go? >> i did not see the button. >> i don't have a button, that is okay. >> in between buttons that is okay. i will use this mic, that is more important. and more dangerous. and i would like to thank the chief to come from that and highlights that the police department goes to our organization which is one of the three in the building and we worked with it in the health center and to create a response wrapped around the pediatric home for kids and familis in the bay view and the on the third floor is the children's

advocacy center. and this is one of the best practices in the child abuse investigation and what it means is that instead of a child having to go to five different place and get interviewed in five different rooms, there is one child friendly location that they go to and they can get the short term counseling right after that and it is really going to help the city and the department and the da's office and hold the folks accountible who hurt kids and it is an important part of the space and it was great to have you there and thank you for your ongoing support for kids in san francisco. >> and i just wanted to clear up the record, loftus is neither my dad or my husband and i did not actually meet him until i was already a district attorney and i married into the loftus family and i will tell you that i was able to benefit from marrying into the loftus family because the police officers who got a subpoena from district attorney loftus thought that i was his daughter or something and so they were very quick to respond and he just had an incredible reputation not only as a

gentleman and a professional and just a really good officer who took the job seriously and valued the public trust and good at investigating case and that is mourned by me despite being married to him and having him as my dad. >> commissioner turman? >> i wanted to join, commissioner chan as well as yourself and mr. president, and congratulations deputy chief, loftus, on his retirement and thanking him for that. and i want to acknowledge that kingsley will be greatly missed and i did do a great deal. i know that she is pursuing other activities, to make it even more committed to san francisco, and i wish her the best of luck. for i would be remiss if i did not say what a tremendously

brilliant organization that john irvine foundation is for awarding loftus who is a tremendous san franciscan, and an advocate for children and an advocate for her community and she is just, fabulous to serve on this commission as well. thank you for all of your work. >> thank you. >> and thank you, commissioner loftus and we are going to set aside a date where we are going to honor commissioner kingsley and i am not sure whether or not her regular resignation has gone through. >> there is an announcement that turman and i put together. and basically it is meant to explain to the public, what the commission can or cannot comment on regarding this. and as you are well aware that after the joint investigation, and a very important factor, the joint investigation between the san francisco police department and the f.b.i. and an indictment was returned from

the us attorney's office and here in the northern district of california and commissioner turman i have talked about this and we are both federal prosecutors. and so we understand the process, and we ask you the public is to understand and appreciate and respect the process, the process of both the criminal system and the civil system and we cannot about the specifics of these charges because those charges i will be before this commission and it will be unable to comment on them, but what we can comment on is that the public does not rely upon hearsay rumors or gossip and let it play out, those officers or the five officers are the current officers of the police department and one that has been terminated by this commission as this sit here

today, they are innocent proven guilty and that is a premises that all of us have been part of. having said that when we are interviewing for the police chief last time, one of the questions that came up during the process is that we were made alleged of the possibilities. and we asked the captain sir, what would his strategy be for this situation and then the captain would have the best answer and the best strategy and now he is the chief. and what he did was implement and the four that were assigned to work on the investigation and he gets credit for that and the fact that there was more training for the under cover officers, and a significant amount of training, and bruce was brought in to train them and in the fine arts of under cover activity. and more supervisor vision was provided.

and there are sergeants out on the searches now, and finally, there is rotation, out of those units and that is what the chief said that he was going to do and he is doing it. and the last piece of the puzzle, hopefully it will be any day now, there is a glitch, but the officers will be fitted with cameras, during those searches. and so, that is what the chief has done, and the commission we deal with the policy, and procedure, and that is operations. and sometimes, operations spills into the policy and procedure, but i just wanted the public to know that the chief has addressed those issues and i do not want any sort of negative publicity to hurt the pride and the courage of the 2,000 officers that risk their lives on a daily basis, responding to the calls on service and we should not let that taint their reputation and those officers, remember, you are the guardian of the public trust. and we talk about standards.

and we do hold you to a higher standard. thank you. >> 3 d, commissioner announcements and scheduling of items identified for consideration at future commission meetings, action. >> we are here at 5:30 and dark the 19th, and no meeting on the 19th and then on the 26th we will be in the tenderloin district and we don't have a location as of yet. but by the march 12th meeting we will have a location. >> any further announcements or identified items for consideration from the commissioners? >> i just have one, inspector monroe, you are the head of this and i might be behind, did we pick a date for the discussion of the bicycle pedestrian an safety resolution? >> next week. it is the 12th commissioners. >> great, thank you. >> okay. so now it is time for public

comment and all of these line items come on forward. thank you for waiting we appreciate it. >> i apologize, before i didn't know how you were doing it. so i am still michael and i am still here. i wanted to address a few things that came up in the chief's report. specifically about the 6 officers, five who were on the active duty one who is not. and who are indicted last week, the first question that i have is do many of my friends, what did the former chief, know? we are talking about george gascon who is now the district attorney in my opinion is very ambition politician and will be running for office and why didn't he notice what was going on under, his watch and the question has to be raised that are these the only cops who

were or who allegedly acted badly? are there other cops who are harassing the residents of sros? or otherwise, not acting in good faith as police officers? and i asked that question because i can't recall what or whoever got held accountable for what we called the fajita gate. you know? a lot of us see law enforcement as one entity. the sheriff the cops, and the da. we don't distinguish one institution, one agency from another per se. and we see you, altogether and when we see things like it took years to get those cops indicted. we are like, wow, i guess that you better not take a picture of a supervisor in the bathroom, that will move fast, but if you are going to harass the residents of sros and you are a cop and they are going to capture that on camera,
