those cases and they were random. we did an analysis on those. we found an uptake in theft in vehicles where in the lower union square area near the hotels cab drivers were parking their cars and leaving their electronic devices in their vehicles and using the bathroom and we had people targeting them. we contacted our permanent bureau and pushed out this information and we saw a decreasing amount of cabs being targeted. these are arrest for the district market increase on 2013 on aggravated assaults. these are part one crimes. we are not yet to our first quarter. this is through february.

we'll compare them to the part one arrest. a lot of our larceny and theft come out of our retail establishments and a lot of the reports are not done through our police service, but done on line through our comp logic system. i thought it was important to put this up as most of the complaints we get are related to somehow the narcotics activity in the neighborhood. i know people are concerned about this when possession offenses when we go to our cgc. these numbers really illustrate where we focus our attention. because you will see the next slide is very different. so, you will see that we have 78 arrest for arrest on fair -- paraphernalia. if someone has

a crack pipe, we'll track that number for purposes of this grid. these are our numbers. these are for 6 months and july through december. moving our team from one sergeant to two officers to one sergeant and five officers made a huge difference in the number of cocaine base sales going on in the district. those guys went to work and made a big difference on the activity that was going on. traffic has been a big issue. it's always been a big issue for me. this is a glimpse into some of the things we saw in 2013. our one fatality is related to somebody on the street and struck in the early morning by a sunset scavenger vehicle. >> for our traffic

enforcement, we believe that engineering and education has a huge role in changing the dynamic of traffic safety. we know we need to do our parts. the tragedity on december 31st, new years eve, we got together with our city partners and we are doing our part. you can see that even in tenderloin station for the amount of citations we are writing around seven hundred in february. these are some arrest i want to mention. you will see this article here was about a man who robbed somebody in 2012 and grabbed the person's dog and killed this person's dog. most persons here will remember that. when i got tenderloin station a few months later we got an influx of brand new sergeants who

took to brand new investigators. one officer opened this case and found this guy wasn't in custody. she opened up an instagram account and working with u.s. marshals and there was an outstanding warrant for this person's arrest and she executed that warrant and put that person in custody. we have a close team at southern station and dea and uncovered an operation in drug traffickers in the neighborhood. this yielded 14 federal indictments, 13 arrest. we got 11 pleas. it's important to note that in

this jurisdiction you are going to do 85 percent of your time. in this case 3 years. we are dealing with people who have been a problem in the tenderloin for some time. so as a condition of their release, they are going to have a 6-year stay away order upon release. this is a big win for us. i want to thank the d. a. for working as a team on this. this made a big difference. this is my doctrine right here. while these are inter related, i used this as a compass for me. crime prevention for environmental design and problem solving for community engagement whether related, enforcement can only take you so far and really only offer for the most part short-term results. this is the stuff that is going to give us sustain able impact in the neighborhood.

>> so blight, we use this part of our crime prevention environmental design and contact property owners with blighted buildings. this project took one phone call to a property owner saying "please paint your building". same thing with property owner 161 eleven worth, while this location is still a problem, a lot of it has to do with the system they hold within those properties. if a property owner works with us is just an ask. paint your building, insert lighting. there is lighting up now and we are going to see there is some surveillance and he has agreed to work with us and the

leaseees to clean up the act. it's a work in progress. i want to talk about our problem solving program. some of them are inter-related. all problem solving efforts start with a gathering of our stakeholders and organizing them. while i can't take credit, i have to thank public safety, safe and the community. but these are some of the neighborhood watches that have formed in the last six months that are actively working on problem solving efforts. the lower part of our slide is a 3400 block of o'farrell. on the side of the church there are three spaces that have been burnett out for six years. we have met with the community groups and they worked and worked to try to get

something done about the activity and loitering in front and the disorder. we spoke with the principals' they immediately got to work and put up a construction role and they hired a bunch of kids that did this mural. now, with 3400 block that o'farrell works here. the issues in front of those three locations has been reduced. these are two of the problem solving programs working on the ones on the left includes outreach material that we tend to have our officers provide and on the bottom left is material that our community groups can take back for the operations that came out of the community group that has enough of the disorder. when there is a block of golden gate at the community meeting asked what can be do as a

community without police to impact public safety. i was at that meeting and they decided they would constitutional -- create a positive spectacle by providing research once a day and they would we convicted in doing it. they do it in at least for a short time they removed the disorder and take back their block. it really enforces their sense of community and they wouldn't engage in criminal activity that it's not okay to do this stuff. it was duplicated on the block of turf by clapt iv, their take back operation to work with dpw on that and there is more of a block party with music. they actually demand less. >> captain, we would like to

give supervisor kim an opportunity to speak. she has another meeting. [ applause ] >> thank you, mr. president. i also want to thank -- >> can you get on the microphone? >> sure. welcome. good evening. it's great to see all of our residents in the tenderloin. some of the small business owners and stakeholders here tonight. one of the reasons why i love representing this community is we have such a community that cares about making this a stronger and safer neighborhood. we have a strong community here and i want to thank chief sur for always bringing us a great captain and we would like to thank our

leader who is always willing to work with us and captain turn as who filled his incredibly big shoes and he's done a ton of work with our residents a lot of what you saw in your presentation. really quickly our office is committed to public safety in this neighborhood whether it's getting rid of parking meetings on the union block and what is creating a lot of nuisance for the neighborhood. it's really exciting to be able to initiate efforts from the community that are different and innovative that is not necessarily happening in all of our neighborhoods and working so closely with our captain to make that happen. it's also great to be here with the police commission. i get to see many of you at the rules committee and we have a collection of

individuals that volunteer their time to work with sf p.d. to make our neighborhoods safer. it's incredible to see those numbers and one of our top issues in our office. we know we have the most number of individuals hit by vehicles anywhere in the city. to see the numbers double, triple, in terms of enforcement so that our youth and seniors are safe walking in the street is so incredibly important. i know we have some of our pedestrian safety advisory group members and dan jordan who are here to represent our district. [ applause ] >> and just working to make this neighborhood again a safer place along with safe passages which i see many of you volunteer at. one other thing that i would mention, sunday streets is coming up sunday april 13th. and we

have flyers over there. we would love to see you all come out. last year was a huge success. i will be having open office hours on tenderloin and hopefully we'll have a fun booth and we are thinking of some kind of photo booth where we can have the residents visit us. i also have open office hours once a month from 130-330. i want to mention we have other brothers and sisters from the mission tonight. welcome. i also know we had a very unfortunate tragedy and we had another shooting as well and i know that you will have an opportunity to speak as you did last night at the town hall. welcome to the tenderloin and thanks for coming to our meeting tochld -- today. back to our

captain. one other things, peter is here, if you would like to bring up issues to discuss with him. he's right over there. thank you. >> thank you supervisor. let's work on the next slide. one of the areas we are working on is environmental design. we have the blight with some of the corner stores and no real teeth on that. we knew there was a planning code and we don't have the ability to enforce it to the police department, we thought we

might work with them and we have great relationships with them. the majority of the people in the tenderloin are coming on board. i'm sorry i don't have any examples, but we have a great number of stores who decided to remove a lot of their advertising and create better transparency as we know reduction of more transparency does equal the more line of site to improve public safety. community engagement mirrors policing. it has a real definition of the policing and deals with partnership with crimes in communities. in the spirit of the partnership, safe passage program. while they rarely use our assistance, it's a great program. i'm a big fan. it's 11 blocks in the tenderloin and denoted by the yellow brick road. it was created by a coalition of community

groups and they bring in volunteers to escort children to after school programs and you will see them walking around the tenderloin. i put this on the same slide with supervisor kim because our office and hers work together to develop and do outreach on the public safety issues as it relates to pedestrian safety. it's a real issue for me. i'm a native in san francisco. my children were hit by a car and after they were hit by a car, i thought about what we do in the street and what we push out for children in the tenderloin, when they are out in the crosswalk amongst other things like looking right or left and waiting for the signal, we would like them to get large in the crosswalk and we want them to wave and be seen by drivers because oftentimes they are lost from the hood of the car.

this is a program started by captain paul. he started a lot of initiatives which i think it's great. this is one where most of my colleagues in the district nation and my lieutenants reinforced this and we start with the lease object liaison in the community that promote accountability which is a big thing to us. the image on the left is the tenderloin community advisory board logo that was developed by the community advisory board. i want to get the tenderloin community advisory board to stand up for a moment. i want to recognize you folks here. we have some of you here. [ applause ] i'm a pretty demanding person and when i came to play here, we got right to work and i want to thank them for working on a lot of the initiatives.

when we did the environmental assessment we identified the bus shelter which was a no brainer. it was kind of a bee hive of disorder. the people at the cadillac and ham lan were complained and we thought people should have the opportunity for safety at the station. it really cut that natural surveillance and you couldn't see on that side of the bus shelter. it's a 10-month campaign. i would like to thank the people in the room who partnered with us on this. i think the report is generally positive about that. [ applause ] >> the tenderloin stars program came out of the community advisory board and it's something that is still in development. the idea is

some of those retail spots we mentioned at the beginning of the slide, the retail spots, we set a standard of conduct for those retailers and they would then become part of the stars program endorsed by the community advisory board. we have plaques that are being made and they are able to display this plaque in their retail establishment. we are working closely with our neighborhood prosecutor on that with the city attorney and obviously our community advisory board. >> i want to thank sweegey smith. we also have a twitter account 2 weeks ago and we are on facebook. the newsletter we created right out of the gate we knew we needed to get serious about that and our interest in the community engagement and our hope was

to become more relevant, more timely immediately. so, we started pushing out all of the crime picture once a week. we don't leave anything out and it creates a really robust dialogue in partnership. we believe it's the way the go and this which tends to be a favorite among all people. we feature one citizen a month and get into their history and why they are in the tenderloin and their family. people look forward to this and we try introduce an officer as well. we are finding officers are getting into this. we have officer knees up here and we find out about his background and what he does off duty and that is a topic of conversation for citizens as they go out in the streets.

this officer is injured right now. we wish him a speedy recovery. this guy is a wreck and crew. he really is part of our youth engagement. we formalized it in the last few months and we try to feed our resources to as many in youth engagement programs as possible and he does do a boxing program and with some of the youth on the left, who are populated by soma youth and tenderloin youth and it was a flag football league. in closing, i would like to thank the chief for giving his command. thank you so much. it's been an amazing ride for me. i would like to thank the public partners and public safety in no particular order because you are all so vital to the success of the station in the neighborhood. nicole

workman and brent and your staff at safe for the support on public safety education outreach and neighborhood organization. and for assisting with the development of this presentation. and i want to thank the members of the community for your support and hard work. i know this neighborhood is not where you want it to be, but it's much better because of you. i want to thank my community advisory board and i have my chairperson, doug gary from dish and john constan from gas grill. thank you for being accessible to me. i want to thank jack canon from dpw and supervisor jane kim's office and for checking up on my officers when they get hurt. i want to thank joe girtey for your continued support for tenderloin and me. he calls me once in a while and asks me

how i'm doing. i want to thank the leadership. mr. pain, it's not the easiest thing to work for and thank you for working on those projects. i want to thank the sarjs -- sergeants for keeping their standards of service and most of all the officers for keeping this community safe. thank you. [ applause ] >> there is food in the back, by the way. >> while we are lining up for public comment i want to thank captain turns for working in this commission. i remember

when kids were buying drugs on the streets. he didn't look like a cop. thank you very much. i would like to as captain said, all this food was made by the captain's wife who has some very bad place for your waistline. it's very good. >> did i m -- miss that, as part of an undercover operation? okay. let's be clear. >> at this point your captain, we have a large crowd for public comment. let's start with public comment. >> item 4. public comment. the public is now welcome to address the commission regarding items that do not appear on tonight's agenda but within the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission. the speaker shall address the remarks as a

commission as a whole, department or personnel. under the police commission rules of orders. during public comment, the police nor occ is required to respond. individual commissionerscious police and occ personnel shall refrain from entering into any debater discussion with speakers. please, we have a lot of people here who want to talk. let me limit comments to 2 minutes. >> the agenda said 3 minutes, officer. >> sounds good to me. >> i protest. i have to say that i protest that. the agenda said 3 minutes. 1 minute is okay. >> we have a lot of people that want to speak. >> if the agenda said 3 minutes. that's what was written in the text. >> is the time running?

>> can we make it 3 minutes. >> 3 minutes. 3 minutes. 3 minutes. >> 2 minutes. >> 3 minutes. >> 2 minutes. >> 3 minutes. >> i'm calling this meeting to order. we have to have some decorum in here. we have 2 minutes. the commission has the ability to change the time for public comment depending upon the crowd for the convenience to give everybody an opportunity to speak. it will be two minutes.2 minutes. >> the ge gentleman would like to start. >> good evening ladies and gentlemen, my name is ben i

stand here today for alejandro neat oh. my friend who was killed by the san francisco police department on friday. i have a list of things to ask and state. who were the officers that were involved in this shooting. who are their disciplinary. there is no basis whatsoever to state that he was mentally ill since the 9-1-1 calls state that he was not doing anything that was ill. he was eating a burrito.

if he was a white man eating a sandwich with a -- this has no bearing whatsoever since alex is not being accused of purchasing any type of gun. he was totally licensed to carry a taser. and it's legal in this state to someone who is license to carry a taser on a hole ster we demand an

investigation. viva andrew lopez. >> hi, my name is scott, i'm a leader of the neighborhood center. i'm not here to comment on the incident. i want you to know and the chief know that it has over 650 members. the very people that people last night accuse of you targeting with the thought of having you in our neighborhood. the public housing development where two of them were killed in the 80s fought to get officers in our neighborhood. in 8 years ago when two people were killed and the neighborhood and public housing residents were rainbow. it was led by the poorest people and the people of color in my neighborhood

and there are none left in vernal heights. we fought to give sergeant mcdermott, he's going to heaven when he died. we fought to get the patrol sunny dale into courts. your cops meet with us every month. they meet with the residents of the holy court. we have block clubs all over the hill. we love your cops. your cops serve our neighborhood. i'm not commenting on what they do. please don't take that from mime time. i'm not commenting on what they do in the rest of the city. i want to hear you loud and clear. i'm obviously not poor, i'm not a person of color. i live in vernal heights in 1976 and founded the vernal heights center and we have a tremendous relationship. just wanted you to know
