report, i will try to be brief. plus the first quarter report does represent a compilation of the statistical reports that you received in january and february and march. but last week, there were questions about occ staffing and so i will try to address those questions in more detail in this report. in the first quarter of this year, we began training a new temporary ad 124 line investigator. during this period we had 14 permanent line investigators. there were three line investigator vacancies. plus one of the permanent line investigators acted as a senior investigator contained to fill the vacancy when the senior was promoted to deputy director in august

2013. so during the first quarter there were a total of four investigator vacancies, three line and one senior. three senior investigators and the deputy director as the chief investigator. so there are currently 19 investigator employees, 17 permanent and two temporary that staff the 21 investigator positions. to give you some content, the city charter provides a floor for investigators of one line of investigators for the police officers with 2116 sworn members. during the first quarter we worked with the department of human resources to develop 8124 investigator job announcement. the announcement is nearly complete and we do anticipate

posting the announcement before the end of the second quarter. so, before june 30th and hopefully in late may or early june. moving to the occ's budget, and you heard my budget presentation in february, we are waiting to hear from the mayor's budget office to determine how they will address the occ's budget needs. we did submit the mandatory budget reductions of one percent and one 1/2 percent. we are hopeful that will not be taken. we have not had to reduce pursuant to targets in the past. so we are just waiting to hear.

moving to investigations of cases. in the first quarter we opened 188 new cases and closed 168 cases. we opened new cases and we closed which make the backlog grow. we closed the quarter with 333 pending case. that's 49 more cases in the first quarter of 2013. moving to case loads and disposition cases. there was a 25 percent increase in complaints filed during the first quarter of 2014 versus the first quarter of 2013. it did result in a higher average case load which continues of 24 cases per investigator versus 20 cases per investigator in 2013. i have spoken with you in the past about best practices for case loads disability and

oversight investigators and underscore that it is 16. the average surprisingly the average number of days to close cases was decreased by 12 percent from 1 62 to 142. the investigators were able to close them a little faster. our goal is to conclude our investigations within 270 days. during the first quarter of 2014, the investigators closed 168 cases. that is 83 prs of them within 270 days. only three of them which had no sustainable allegations took more than a year to close. it's pretty similar to the statistics in 2013. in the first quarter, the percentage, the moving of sustained cases increased by

5 percent sustained rate from a 4 percent sustained rate in 2013. we sustained allegations in 8 cases. this is an area where it is taking us a very long time to close our sustained cases because really the increase in the number of cases that we have and the lack of investigators. the sustained case closures increased by the time it took by almost 2 months. 55 days during the first quarter. only one of the eight 8 cases closed within 270 days and we recognize that it places a great burden on an internal affairs division that reviews our sustained cases and then reports to the chief for his

determination. as i stated in prior reports, the i am mpediments to completion of cases is to at least four factors, case loads for the investigators, we now have several profile in conflicts investigation that i discussed with you last week. active trial cal cars for -- calendars for the prosecuting attorneys and prosecute analyst who also assist the attorneys and sustainability reviews. with the cases that we sustained and i won't go into great detail about them, during the first quarter, three of them had neglect of duty of sustained allegations and two of those complaints were for failure to collect traffic stop data. additional allegations that were sustained included

unwarranted action for detaining and searching a complainant and removing a cellphone. guns on two occasions entering and searching his house and detaining and hand kufg roommate's girlfriend without cause and issuing a citation without cause. when we discussed the conduct reflecting discredit with regard to the taxi fare. we discussed the coward case. and then in the third case, the complainant was cursing the officer and the officer said to complainant "why don't you come here and say it to my face" of wasn't a deescalating comment by the officer. >> are you sure? >> [ laughter ] >> then the fourth case was

we already discussed the priority examination. and in addition to the traffic stop data and neglect of duty and writing an accurate incident report and we talked about wrongfully conducting a traffic stop while in plainclothes. moving to complaints of note, three new complaints of note during the first quarter. the officer involved shoot of alejandro nieto. the report regarding the police crime lab. we received a complaint from a sexual assault victim. she complained about the department's failure to promptly respond to evidence. that investigation is pending and the city college incident, we received one complaint of using excessive force at san francisco city college. that investigation is pending. all of these investigations are

still pending. and although i have a section on the legal unit, it is in the report. i want to address it. the mediations during the fist quarter were 17 compared to 12 in 2014. a 30 percent increase. mediations are important for the goodwill they create but also for management because they exceed the average number of cases closed per investigator during the same

period by 70 percent. our mediation coordinator in early march was invited to go to los angeles to meet with their internal affairs division and the city attorneys office to advise them on handout you to set up the mediation program. ween gaengd in numerous outfits regarding our reports and language access and protocols for children of arrested parents and we made recommendations that are accepted by chief sur and now in retraining and having written procedures in training officers regarding officers initiate incapacity proceeding against a driver. in other words a priority reexamination. that concludes

my report. thank you very much. commissioner turman? >> director, through all the reports i heard now and it's becoming quite routine to hear about the failure to collect traffic stop data. is this getting any better from your perspective? it various quarter to quarter, but the chief imposes progressive discipline and there are not many repeat violators. so it's viewed, it's viewed as a mistake the first time. that's the opportunity for a non-disciplinary action of an

admonishment and retraining. and then when it repeats, the chief escalates his discipline and he can explain more. >> so failure -- to notify is down and i would put this in the context of my earlier report. we've given 12,000 more tickets this year than last year. when you consider tickets are up 55 percent and officers are coming back now that there are more. i think it's good we have a handle on it now so it doesn't keep going. >> thank you. i appreciate it. if i may, is there a way that this can automatically be done and put into the system so the officers don't have to take any additional time doing it. i know we make thousands of

traffic stops each month. >> right -- >> can you explain what that is? >> when you make a contact with a citizen on a vehicle although a bicycle, you have to put in their race and gender breakdown as well to ensure the department isn't disproportionately enforcing against one particular demographic. so in this instance, to answer to your question, it's yes. right now with our motorcycles, since they don't have the same computers that the same police officers do, now they have these crossroads tickets and now it's automatically taken. it used to be in the comment section and it wouldn't translate over. it was one more thing they had to do. if we get to the citations and the rp went out at $7,000.

everything comes at a cost. at some point in time the answer is yes, i don't know that we are getting the money available to it. two, i was doing everything i can do to get to e-citations. >> commissioner loftus? >> yes. okay. a couple of things. i just wanted to say one thing that i always appreciate about this presentation is that the occ is taking the lesson. so if any individual officer is making the mistake then there is the policy implication and what can we do to better train our officers. so there is an element of what we want. it's not just a matter of one officer did it wrong but it's also taking a look at the policy. one thing i also tend to think about when i hear this report is we hear the cases that were adjudicated

in 1/4 and listening to them, this doesn't sound like san francisco's finest. it's not the worst that we have heard, during the same quarter, is a quarter three 3 months? i'm not a math person. how many calls per service? >> using last year, it was somewhere around 300,000 calls for service. around 75 thousand people arrested and around 8,000 citations given out a month. so you hear of 6-8 complaint sustained against those in usb that i just gave you that are contacts. >> you did a great job of

illustrating where we need to do more work and that helps with the scope and scale where the progressive scope is working and we are not repeating the same behavior and there are a number of interactions where we are not getting complaints and also because you do such a great job in outreach and folks know how to make a complaint. that's it for me. >> if i might respond commissioner loftus, while we don't include the context in our quarterly reports because it would add to our work load, we do include the contacts in our annual report so there is more of a context. >> okay. >> thank you so much, director. >> you're welcome. >> thank you very much. please call item 3c. >> commission reports, discussion, commission presidents report and commissioner report. >> i have not new to report

this week. commissioner loftus? >> i did bike to work from the outer sunset. it's the first time that i biked in a non-recreational way and being on the road. it reminds me of what my grandfather used to say to my mom, "before you judge anyone, walk a myelin ile -- in their shoes" there was some real terrifying moments but great moments. i'm glad the city is trying to grapple with the fact that more folks are riding bicycles as a mode of transportation. it's good and healthy and good for them and we have to do a better job to make sure it is safe for them. i was happy to be a part of that and the chief also, you were on a bicycle. >> i was. >> i didn't see it. i have to take his word for it. the other thing is we -- i'm just

saying. from a prosecutor, evidence. i didn't see it. we also had a great meeting. i want to share with my fellow commissures. -- commissioners. one big thing is the crisis intervention teamwork that commissioner chair worked on. i had a great meeting with the mental health work last week and commander is doing a great job in moving that forward. it's a diverse excited engaged group of folks who have made a tremendous amount of progress with the department in ways to deal with people in crisis. we'll talk about scheduling them to come before the commission in june because i realize we haven't heard from them in some time and there are some real progress that i made that i think reflects really well on the partnership between mental health experts and how much work we can do as a department to improve our

response to people in crisis. so i will continue to represent the commission at those meetings and continue to support their work. i made it clear to the group, president mazzucco, all of my colleagues have repeatedly talked about what a commitment it is from this commission to continue to move that forward. i will continue to keep you updated. >> absolutely. this you for doing that. other commissioners. it's remarkable and we are seeing fewer incidents and the best part is seeing officers who want to be trained. it's another tool in their toolbox. i think they actually enjoy it. it's a challenge for them and also from former prosecutors, exhibit 1 for identification. chief on the bicycle. >> can we get this on the overhead. >> the chief is on the

bicycle. >> the chief standing next to a bicycle. >> with a bicycle on. commissioner hang -- hang it's all yours. >> i want to thank you for mc's the event. president mazzucco when the board of supervisors board meeting ran late was a back up. i i had a meeting and i know president mazzucco was there before. they want me to rays a couple issues. one regarding a particular intersection on farrell with two districts is something of a safe haven area where folks if standing on a particular corner fall into this gap between the two districts. i invite him to

come to our next meeting so they can address their concerns there. they mentioned that they have a couple of take back the block events coming up. one tomorrow, 5:00-6:00 p.m.. one at 398 eddie and on the 27th to try to organize to take back the community block by block. i would invite any fellow commissioners to attend the take back the block event. i also had a meeting with -- whose sister was killed in 2012 by los angeles county sheriff's. he's looking to improve police response on mental health incidents. hopefully we can invite him at some point to this hearing to share his story. he has a

very positive story to share. lastly, i had an interview with a chinese language tv channel 26 to address the issue of increased homelessness at square. we did an interview there but while i was there i changed the nature of the interview to talk about the nature with occ. since i knew that was an issue i said what a great agency it was and they had bilingual staff and they should call with issues. there was a caller that called in while we were on the air and talked about a particular incident that occurred over the weekend. i followed up with the chief to report there was a complaint received. >> turman? >> quite by accident but last week i had an impromptu meeting with the folks from

the san francisco office. what topic of discussion was the time that it takes to receive any kind of indication of an officer involved shooting. they have invited me to come back with another one of my fellow commissioners to sit down and go 32 you that process to find out what we can do to stream line that along. the average time -- is slow. [inaudible] and why it takes so long. >> if i might, i spoke with gaston at your swearing in and expressed the concern that the commission had regarding the length of time it takes with those officer involved shootings. when i first came on the

commission there were officer involved shootings that were 5-6 years old that were not adjudicated. i spoke with the district attorney about it and he explained the possible reasons and the medical examiners report before they can close their case. i was going to look into and see how many of the cases that are still opened actually involved the medical examiners office, how many cases involved autopsies. the d. a. was made aware of this. we spoke about it on monday and he's going to look into it. >> great. i will add the d. a. office has been incredibly responsive. sharon wu is also willing to stit down with us. i'm glad to see we are getting that response. >> great. let's call item 3d

commission announcements. >> commission announcements and scheduling of items identified for consideration at future commission meetings? >> any announcements? >> next week is the third wednesday of the month. there will not be a police commission meeting. the following week on the 28, we are in the northern district. the commission will meet at sacred heart cathedral high school theatre. it was 1100 ellis. in san francisco wednesday may 28, 2014. 6 :00 p.m. to hear comments from the public concerning public protection issues. >> thank you, with reference to matters for the agenda, mr. -- ms. mahoney where are we with regard to the officers first rights. i know we have given it additional time. where are we at with that

now? again i want to address this issue before it becomes an issue. thank you. you have an estimate of when we would be able to have that before the commission? i know it has to go to the occ involved, and the police officers association is involved. do we have a time frame. >> i think hopefully sometime this summer. >> okay. thank you. commissioner loftus? >> i would like to schedule in june the cit working group and invite vinny ing to talk about losing his sister. they said they would be ready. >> your call. take a look at the calendar. >> while i'm looking at that, inspector, ms. mahoney i have a same request about the

dvdgo? >> that, we are still in discussions on that. i think you will also see that in the summer hopefully earlier. >> by october? dv awareness month. >> june 4 th or june 11th? >> why don't we do june 11th. thank you. >> anything else, commissioners? okay. hearing none it's now time for public comment with reference to line items 3abc and d. good evening ms. brown. i'm here regarding

my son. he was murdered august 13, 2006 to , to a semi automatic gun. i would like to say his case number. his case no. 606862038. i'm only saying that because if anybody wanted to or know of anything that happened to my son, that's his case number. here are the names of all the guys that murdered my son. one of them is deceased. my son's case is

some other mothers because they are not there to do what i'm doing. maybe they are looking for something else. it's sad. but that happened that day i also want to show the pictures of other young men that are murdered. these are all cases unsolved. these are all in the city of san francisco. these are cases unsolved. mothers asked me to show their pictures. i hang out with garcia all the time. she's a fighter. she lost her son. these two men killed her son. this one killed this one, but they both killed her son. i still ask for justice for my chil
