make an arrest. this person, they came back to the building, and maybe, three or four hours later. it just seems like this is the northern station, and let me play another one. >> time is running two minutes they don't want to make an arrest and i asked for a ca form it seems like i asked for several things and i don't get any of that. and they just, they just anger me, and they traumatize me, and then they just leave. that is northern station and that is the northern station that i know. and the confidence that i have

with it with the lady who was threatening me and she had the officer and threatening me with violence and then they were there this night as she came, and deswaded this officer from making an arrest and that is what i think happened. i right now, i am just looking for an arrest, and i am looking for some justice, and i mean, that i have to go home and deal with this. i mean, what other than the police officers department what options do i have? >> i mean, what options do i have? i mean, should i sleep outside? what options do i have? >> i mean, that i do not have housing for several reasons. but when i call the police department, and the next time that the call the police department before this, they did not enter into the building and they looked through the window and they would come up,

and they did, and they just, they just looked through the windows and left. and i live on the 7th floor. and i mean, i called the police, and if i talked to them, i don't think that they are even going to do anything except be angry and they leave. can i get anybody to say in regard to make an arrest. >> normally i would not do this. >> were you harmed in this incident? >> i was traumatized. >> were you harmed? >> no. >> and so, the officers did respond and the officers did take the woman in 5150 here. >> yes. >> and that is all that i wanted to know. >> so, what about the original assault and battery? >> well, i just needed to make sure that the officers took the appropriate action and they made it a call, and then in this instance that they believe that this woman was more and her actions demonstrated crisis

and since, there was no injury they opted for mental healthcare verses putting her in the criminal justice system. that is a call that they make throughout the day. >> because she has mental health problem she has free reign to be violent toward me. >> any further public comment? >> hearing none, the public comment is closed. it is time for the commissioners if you have any questions for the captain, and you guys, just want to say briefly, thank you for your presentation and i do want to respond to one thing, and this meeting was schedule for the community and is it was schedule for the western edition, and to the several different scheduling concerns and everything, and we had to cancel that meeting, and to the next best thing was being that this is the northern police district, we moved it here and there are scheduling requirements when you are outside of city hall which is 15 days notice and that will be deprive the northern community of the meeting and just to make

the record, very clear it was initially schedule for the western edition and we take, the special interest in making sure that we cover every aspect of the district, and as you can see, the northern station is the tender loin and the city hall and north beach and the marina and it covers many years and we try to move it around and that is what we did. >> and president mazzucco, if i can add in the ten years that i have been on the commission, this is the only time that i can remember us having it here at city hall. >> this is a first, every other community meeting has been in the community. somewhere. i say that i don't normally do this, but commissioner loftus reminded me that i do it more than i think. but i do, i do want to correct the record here since the public is listening, and you know, when we talk about normal folks being on this commission, we pretty normal folks.

i don't, there is no... there is no ivory tower up here, i mean we may be lawyers, but suzy is the daughter of an immigrant single mother. and we grew up in a very deprived communities and we had to work nights to go to law school. to do, and as a child of a cop who died early and left him to put himself through school. i mean, joe marshall the community organizer who came up as rough as anybody else and as well as victor. because we are lawyers, does not mean that we are any less members of this community or that we care any less than anybody else. we are people who came up the hard way, we are people who learned, we are people who care, and just because we were fortunate enough or warked hard enough to go to law school or to become from the streets to a

vice principal and then an executive director of a organization and helping out youth does not mean that we are not people who are qualified to sit on this commission and still have a connection to the basic human beings, and the basic rights that people want. and it is a ridiculous notion that we or any of us are hand picked. and i wrote out and i went on-line and i applied and i wrote out an application and i was chosen to sit on this commission and i competed with the other people just as victor did and you know, suzy worked hard and she worked hard in the da's office, and she applied for the job, and she was appointed and the same as joe marshall and the same as petra also and we applied and we were appointed it is not like we are some kind of golden children who were picked out from like the royal nursery or something like that. we are hard-working people and

we and what we have is not a reflection of anything that anybody or any other special opportunity other people did not have. what we have is what we worked hard and got, and a lot of hard working talent gave each other and we are proud to serve in this commission, and i wish that people would stop treating us as if we are some type of a, you know, disconnected body, we are very much a part of these communities. >> thank you. >> okay. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> commissioners anything further for the captain? any questions or concerns. >> just a great job. >> i did have a couple of questions, >> i will let you get your questions. >> and p okay. >> my mom watches regularly, she will appreciate the shout out, she is proud of raising they are daughters on her own, and she said that they did all of the work, captain congratulations on a presentation and what i wanted

to say in response to some feedback that we got on davis and correcting the record, i lived in the district between 2003, and 2007 and so those were violent years and it was a scary time and a place and the partnership between the community and the leaders who worked with the youth development and giving the kids jobs and backpacks and opportunities has changed that neighborhood, the fundamental fabric of it in the most profound way and i think that watching her leadership in the neighborhood, and her ability to build the partnerships give her a tremendous amount of credit and i wish that cheryl was here and since her name came up i cannot miss the opportunity to say that she was an asset. my car was broken into five times and so again, instead of taking the voice of marshal in terms of this district in how far we have come and how thoughtful you all have been in targeting that is something that the residents and the business owners have, and it is, and it is terrible, to say,

and it is not a violent crime but having your car broken into is really expensive and very disruptive and so i want to say great job and thank you for all of the community involvement that is clearly, something that you value and work with, thank you. >> thank you. >> commissioner turman? >> thank you, very much for your presentation, and it was right on point. there are a couple of things that i think that would help the folks understand you mentioned the public housing officers role, could you explain a little bit about what your public housing officers do, i think that it will be helpful for the people to understand. >> sure. >> there are officers from the various districts, that work with the public housing complexes, and bay view has probably the largest amount and they have 16, and i believe that 16 officers and i know that engleside has eight and we have four and mission station has four and those officers

have a number of roles. obviously a lot of the policing that they do is in and around the housing complexes to make sure that the community is safe there, but, they also have a special role with the communities there as a direct engagement in trying to get either the youth or the community that is in there in a positive direction, as an example, tomorrow we have a bbq with the community at the fillmore park across from the station and the housing officers are actually doing the bbq and so they, have an interaction with the community with the youth and the adults, and whenever there are things like midnight basketball, and other events that occur, they are some of the first officers that we go to and they have a real good engagement with it and with the community, and as the members that live in the housing developments and it has become, a tool that we have

used in the department, to make it so that the relationship that we have in the certain areas of this city, is improved and it is best that we can give to them. >> i want to congratulate you for double your cit trained officers number to what you doubled it and in one year's time, and is there anything special that you are doing for the recruitment in that area that the other districts could learn from? >> well, i, and the training occurs, and we always make sure that we have all of the spots that they will allow us and i think that probably the biggest reason is that in the city, in the last few years, there has been incidents where the chief talked about it where, there is probably the opportunity for us to avoid having to use lethal force, in the situation that had we had crisis intervention training officers, available to immediately respond, we might have had a different out come

in the situation. so a lot of it was the education of the officers and how important it is to have that training so that they can see that the last thing that you want to do is turn the situation that can maybe be resolved with just some time and distance, and turning into a deadly situation, because you don't have the people there that have those tools and so i think that really educating the officers, because no officer wants to have to use the legal force on anybody and i think that if they have that tool for them and us telling them that it is important has got the officer to realize that it is a tool that they should use. >> and lastly, i want to make a comment and i joined commissioner loftus in the admiration of cheryl davis, and the organization has been close to my heart as a former board president there and i will tell you that the sfpd involvement in that organization, along with its executive director has always been a very close relationship, and it has been life-transforming for a lot of the youth that come through

those doors and so i appreciate the work that is going on there. >> i concur with both of you, and cheryl was on my advisory board and even more than that, the impact that she has had at that center and in that area, and it is someone who has come in and given basically her life and her time to that is just, just short of amazing as far as i am concerned. and i don't know that anyone else could have done it and i wish that she was here tonight to give her the recognition, whenever she has the fund-raiser and the events, and it is posht that we respond because she has had such an impact in the community. >> thank you. >> cheryl davis worked with my wife and her mother works with my wife and her husband, henry and they are just incredible what they have done in the neighborhood and it also, and there is a mention of reverend townsend who is also a stal ward in the western edition and worked with as a prosecutor as many did who is an incredible man and my son worked a summer with him and i taught him some

things that took about two years to erase but it was a worth while event and someone to say that they should be on the, you know, on the board as opposed to others it is just wrong. >> dr. marshall. >> for me, just a great report, and i mean really to see these numbers and you can't argue with numbers. you can't argue with numbers. and so when i see, you know, percentages that, it is the, and the crime has gone down, here to date and knowing of course, you know, that it can escalate at some point, and it is funny, i know that the public might want and why are you giving and it is my issue with the officers. when the crime is led you get all of the blame, to me on the other side when it is down, you should be giving the credit. and so i am always done that. and i obviously there is a lot of good things going on and the other thing is, you know, i

know that area very, very well and there is a turf on every corner. >> yes, and you know that. and it is something going on, and i can remember, actually walking the streets, when she was falling years ago and handing the fliers out, and trying to calm the community down and so i don't take lightly, you know, when the things are, you know, not blowing up and also, knowing that, you know, that you have to watch this, and so that it does not do that. and, something else, that i really admire and i don't know how you can even begin to do this but i thought of it, is that your goal is to reduce the crime, i mean the crime is like cancer, you never know when it is going to pop out again. but, to set goals for reducing the crime here in the 5 percent and that means that you really, not only feel comfortable in doing that, but having a plan because you cannot control all of the varibles but i appreciate that you are trying to aim for that and you know, the good report and we hope that it keeps up and the good

work. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> anything further. >> i just want to thank you, captain and i also want to thank you for your hard work and more importantly, the men and women at your station, 134 officers that serve in the northern station and i want to thank all of them for the hard work and i like to thank the patrol special and they are the ones that make this happen and i know that you are in charge and you follow the leadership of the chief and you are the ones that we see out there on a daily basis and dealing with the homeless with the mental health issues and they are a professional group and the captain and lieutenant delahanta and the officers thank you, and thank you the officer for taking someone who thought that he had been shot who had the mental health issues and the officers are good. >> thank you. >> thanks. >> so our next line item, which is adjournment and as i said, call it and we will adjourn in

honor of two officers. >> six, adjournment. >> ladies and gentlemen, i would like to take a moment of silence and adjourn in the honor of two of our police officers that we lost from the san francisco police family, hector deserto star number 1 1, and steven feras, star number 898. may god bless them. >> do i have a motion? >> so moved. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> thank you very much. >>geeeggeo
