>> good evening. >> good evening president mazzucco and you have a written report in your packet this evening, and some of the case statistics and mediations and adjudications in may and so tonight we will give you a snapshot of our statistics as of today, and a report on some recent activities and a summary of the may adjudications. and in 2014, to date, the occ has opened, 329 cases compared to 309 cases as of june 11, 2013, this is a nine percent increase in cases filed. and as of june 11th, 2013, the occ had 305 pending cases, but the four vacantcies, in the temporary investigations

contributed to the pending cases this year. and as of today, the occ has 331 pending cases, and the other s, but in the time that we would like to see. and as of today, the occ has mediated 26 cases compared to 24 through june 30th of last year. moving to the occ's budget, mayor lee's proposed budget for the occ takes no cuts and begins to remedy the step

adjustment and attrition adjustments that reduce the occ personnel budget, in 2013, 14, by, 300,000 dollars that is the equivalent of nearly 3 investigator positions. the mayor has proposed a partial remedy, by reducing the step adjustment cuts by 84,000 dollars. which is the beginning and that will allow us to fill two of the four vacantcies of the first quarter of 2014, 15 and in a latter quarter and we have to leave one position open, to deal with the step adjustment and attrition adjustment that would still remain. and it is my intent to continue to advocate to further reduce these adjustments and for the 2015, 2016 budget. and the mayor's also included two cars in our budget to

replace the one surrendered car that had cng tanks that expired in february and our other car will have expired cng tanks next july and the first board of supervisors finance committee hearing on the police department budget of which the occ is a part is next wednesday, june 18th and the final committee hearing is june, 25th and another wednesday, i don't yet know what the board of supervisors budget analyst response will be to the nearest proposed budget for the occ, but, i have met with them and explained the dire situation in terms of staffing in our office. moving on to personnel matters, the department of human resources worked with our staff to develop a recruitment for the 8124 vacantcies and the job

announcement ran was open for days and resulted in 300 applicants and the testing will begin between late june and july. moving on to out reach and training, deputy director and i conducted four out reach activities over the last 30 days. we met with a newly hired attorney for the los angeles county sheriff's office of the inspector general, so that she could learn about our operations and she and the new inspector general for the la county sheriff's department, max huntsman set up their operations. second we met with a delegation of 24 state officials from india and visited our office as part of a two-week, uc berkeley, golden school of public policy training on negotiations and we traveled, next we traveled to santa rosa to address the nine member law

enforcement of the local law enforcement task force. and this task force is created as a result of the tragic shooting by deputy sheriff of 13-year-old andy lopez who was carrying a bb gun that was a replica of a assault rifle. we described the functions of the occ and the value of the law enforcement and the goal of that task force is to recommend the model of the civilian oversight in tober and then fourth, we advised an open city county member and his aid on the structure of the san francisco police commission and the office of citizen complaints. meeting in the area of training, the attorney and i attended the similar pose um on eye witness investigation sponsored by the santa clara

law school and chief suhr was one of the panelists and moving on to additional training, two weeks ago i attended the annual symp osium hotel and as the chief pointed out, he and the san francisco police department were the local hosts for the event and commissioner loftus was there as well and there were many interesting panels, and including one on the procedural justice in law enforcement. and in march, of this year, published a paper on this topic, and that paper is on its website, and just to briefly describe the procedural justice by law enforcement and it addresses how the law

enforcement interacts with the public and first allowing the people to tell their side of the story and acting and making decisions based on consistently applied legal principles and the facts of an incident and not on an officer's personal opinions and biases, treating people with dignity and politeness and respecting their rights and giving cues that communicate trustworthiness and listening to people's accounts and sensitivity explaining the reasons why the officer took the actions that he or she took. and sounds a little bit like the medation program. and then also the research has shown that when the individuals feel that they have received justice, they are more likely to view the law enforcement actions as legitimate and to cooperate the law enforcement. and other topics, there were two other topics, of note, and there were several topics and two other topics that i will talk about tonight, and one was body cameras and oakland police chief sean who was a sergeant when he took me on a ten-hour

ride along many years ago, described how open police departments use a body camera if it has caused a reduction in civilian complaints, and a fas ter resolution of the complaints and a higher percentage of the definitive findings and instead of not sustained and then finally, they invited them to make a presentation and described the functions of the civilian oversight as restoring the community confidence and building bridges and shining a light on internal police investigations and practices. and then, finally, just to return to the may comprehensive statistical reports that is in your packet, i will just address the two, the chief adjudications that occurred in may and both were for neglective duty and to failure to collect the traffic data and

an officer was retrained for that and failure to comply with the juvenile protocol by failing to mirandaize her, and failing to record the interrogation and two police officers one of whom was a field training officer, the other the recruit, and then the sergeant who reviewed the incident report, and were admonished and retrained. and that concludes my report. >> thanks very much, director hicks and as usual it is thorough and i am glad to hear that the message is being heard in reference to the funding and staffing and so thank you for the work on that and that is very good to here. and very good to hear. commissioner wong? >> thank you. i just had a concern when i read about this second sustained complaint, it looks like there is more to it than

maybe what is reported here, it seems like there was a total break down in this juvenile being detained and brought through the process and intergated and not mirandaized and what happened with that case? was it filed? was it a case where they thought that they were never going to file charges and so they did not brother to follow the procedure and it just likes this one went all the way through, there was more to it and i am happy to look it up and speak to it off line because of the office of the juvenile. >> okay, sure. >> commissioner turman? >> please call item c. commission reports. >> commission reports, and discussion and president's report. >> and i want to report that since last week's meeting and myself and commissioner wong, visited yesterday with the officers for justice, and one

of our groups, and we met with them out on the third street office and it was very good and we heard some of their concerns and we just to learn a little bit about what we feel about how things are going and we talk about everything from disciplinary process, to recruitment of minority officers and i think that sounded helpful and i want to thank the sergeant for allowing us to come out there and dr. monroe taking us out there and introducing us all to the numbers. >> commissioners? >> okay. >> dr. marshal? >> just want to mention it really nice, and you are director of the departments and the chief and we had a ceremony saluting the graduates out of public housing today. and the down stairs and really nice, but on the mayor and put on the mayor's office of the neighborhood services and they

asked me to mc and the chief was there, and this is a very day that the young people got the scholarships and a number of them and the families came out and as i told them, they were as a signal attached to public housing you know? that you... and i can just say the certain streets and the neighborhood and you can say ain't no way and so for these young people to pull it together and move on and to be celebrated by the city and as they were, and it was, and it was sort of like tonight there was a great feeling in the... and i told them and everybody still good and the chief feels good because we don't want to worry about you because we want to salute the young people and thank you for being there and i know that you like seeing that. >> and this is great. and the speeches by the kids were unbelievable when you think of what they went through to get to graduation, and then, the one girl is going to ucla

and the other one is going, i mean, it is, they are great kids. >> thank you. >> commissioner loftus. >> yes, and so similarly two exciting events this last week, the first one was actually just a celebration of a great public servant and yeah, marie blitz and she had a city attorney and we got to celebrate her and the city attorney was there and mayor was there and it was nice to acknowledge that service and i got to bring my girls and they got to hear about how she was one of the women at the chicago law school and for my girls it was unimaginable for them and it reminds me to how far we have come and what a pioneer she was and it was great to be able to celebrate her. >> and there was another opening of the children's advocacy center, which is the same building that we are in, which is a great partnership to respond to children who have

been abused and so sexual and physical abuse, and interview was done by the police in the district attorney office is there and the folks from hhs and so it is a response to horrific trauma in one place and so my colleagues, cathy xaxter and abigail, and the child abuse prevention center and tremendous support by the police department and captain and the team out there and the da barrette and i just wanted to acknowledge that because it is very difficult work that they do, and they are beginning to utilize that space and be able to investigate those cases and told the offenders accountable and it was an exciting moment. commissioner wong? >> actually i hosted a welcome lunch and i wanted to introduce to the non-profits in that area and everyone came away so

impressed by the captain and there is e-mails since that meeting that he has been invited to and probably a dozen of forums and he has agreed to go to the mall and i have two e-mails as we are sitting here and he invited me and i don't know if there is a way to do with the commission which is the july second. and he is holding a large community forum in china town and they are expecting several hundred to attend and it is not in the community meeting but it is having it on the night of july second. and it might be a good opportunity and i thank you for the occ to also go out and make a presentation. next week i am going with sergeant pete shields of the special investigation's division and we are flying out to attend the national hate crimes conference. and i will be presenting two trainings there one on the

police commissions and one on training for law enforcement and the investigate of hate crimes. >> thank you. >> we are going to meet marie blihz and she showed up and you know, being in the non-lawyer here and we did it through all kinds and we motion and eliminate and the things through here and marie has had me through many, many things and just the happy retirement to her, and be able to say that publicly and i know that all of the commissioners feel that way. >> and i want to thank commissioner loftus, and i forgot about it when we were there and it was just incredible and marie, i said this when i spoke she was never wrong and it was great to have her guiding us through the process and so the public knows that we have a city attorney here cathy, who is our city attorney with reference to the policy and procedures as we go through the commission hearing

and then what you don't see is in closed session when we deal with the disciplinary matters involving officers, very, very delegate balance between the officers who have been accused of the occ with the transparency and the public trust and the integrity of this police department and she was always sitting in that chair and guiding us through to make the right decision and that we will be out there to protect the public and so i want to thank her and she was great and by the way, the highlight of the event was the loftus girls, they were great. >> and is a lot of hugging, and they were good and they had fun, so thank you, marie. >> commissioner dejesus? >> and i had to bow out because i had surgery but i did call her and tell her how outstanding of an attorney she was and how well respected she was and how i appreciated everything that she has done for me as well as the commission and guiding us through the hairy process and

she will be missed and she was an excellent, excellent lawyer. >> all right, do you want to call line item 2 d? >> commission announcements and schedule of items identified for consideration at future commission meetings action nexteding wednesday the 18th, there is a third meeting and so there will not be a commission meeting and then, on the 25th, we are going to the community, and in the richmond district. and the commission will meet in the richmond district at procidio mission school, in san francisco on wednesday, june 25th at 6:00 p.m. to hear the comments from the public and richmond station captain simon silverman concerning public issues in the richmond district. >> thank you and for scheduling purposes, i am going to ask, how are we doing on the first amendment issue and social media, are we getting close? >> yes. >> you think that we are in september, maybe? >> okay. >> and then with reference to

actually, my thoughts were triggered by director hick's comments regarding the cameras. is that what you were going to speak about. >> i think that all of the commissioners are interested and the chief is working on that, where are we at with reference to our officers being equipped with cameras? >> yeah, this and so the pilot is just about ready to go and we got through the contractual issues, and now we are just finalizing the policy with the poa. >> so there is a commission is there a projected? >> i will say that certainly within the next six weeks. >> okay, great. >> certainly. >> commissioners anything else that you would like to add >> yes. >> so, and this is, you know, some of this is my ignorance and i was reading in the newspaper that ab&b, decided to evict somebody that had been there for 30 days that was behind on the rent and they called the police department and the police evicted the person on the spot and so i just, it just raises a lot of legal issues in my mind because, you know, a certain

amount of time, tenant rights get involved and i am not sure the law is as black and white as the newspaper said it was and i just, i just want to know, have we looked into it and are you going to look into the policy whether or not the police officers are going to decide who has to be evicted from the homes and not be evicted and especially on the spot and i am thinking without any type of judicial notice or paperwork of an actual eviction. and i just think that it is a gray area and i just think that it is something that we need to discuss. >> well, we are going to follow up on that. >> right, and i was going to say maybe, the city attorney and i am sure that you have already done this and i think that as the commission, we need to think about liability of the department, and in terms of making those kind of moves and potential lawsuits that may flow from that, and just where we stand on that and if that is really what the department, and resources should be spent on.

>> well, again, the evictions per se on our jurisdiction and we don't do them any way but i am happy to look deeper into this particular case. >> do you have anything further? >> no. >> this is time for public comment, on-line items two abc&d. >> public comment? >> juicy, welcome back. you are smiling tonight. >> yes. well, i was hoping to get here at 5:30, but juicy and i am glad to are here tonight, out in this, and i missed last week, and the last week, but a lot of stuff out there tonight, and it makes me i am learning more that there is a chief report and there is occ director report and the commissioner, and all of the information that i basically pick up has been like, and you like the different things, that

when you, and i feel living in the sro and a lot of us don't really know the work of police officers, and on the commission, because, and as i read some of the reports, that they have you, and the thing that they have called in the occ a report and we jump in the station and you want to make a report and you feel like they don't really want to take the report and i don't know and you just leave, or i am going to 24 hours there, from 12:00 to like 7:45 that morning and i read the whole book. and it was like, sometimes you don't really know and it is the station and in your neighborhood, is there for you, and you feel like, you go to make a complaint, or this, and you get to the person back, or that you stopped them. and we will kind of confuse and i feel like i really need to be here, more often so that i can i don't have a criminal background, yet, i hope that i not to, but i feel like

sometimes people have more and they have more experience with the criminal and they kind of out smart and they say things and do things i mean that i don't know and i will have to learn by experience and trial. and so, tonight i really want to talk about how how i ended up getting here from like, from 2010, the first time that i got and i went to the bay breakers and then i was like going out and chasing and i was like wait a minute and... (inaudible) why did i get, mugged on the church. and i had to find out to learn, what this violence is about and how do you... and how do you identify and how do you see it? and i was a mentor to the young guy who was like, a mentor and this was the mentor and he was so mad because i was happy and a lot of people are angry because i am a happy person. and so i plan on happiness attract non-happiness, and i am just i am really going to learn

a lot about, you know, the police commissioner, and the department, and our rights, and i think that i would love, the path that also more people and the sros and i notice that you all spoke about, the public, and for our housing, and for our people. and children, and just, and i feel that we are the ones that need to have that, because everyone sees us on market street, before anything. >> thank you. >> thank you, juicy. >> thank you for coming juicy. >> yeah? >> first, i thank miss dejesus for using the microphone and at some given time there is a lot to ask the public at large that listen intently when you are two and a half feet from your mic i bring that to your attention and very briefly i want to discuss the occ cases

received. having two adjudications out of about 60 is pretty much low record, based on a number of complaints that i see and based on the type of a complaint and not taking a police report or filling out an improper police report, those can be considered felonies by the police department. and they should be looked at very closely. i have been in cases myself, where the police refuse to take the report or you have the relic of a stream at them to take the report, they didn't want to write a report. and the other side of the coin is that i have seen also the police handle all of the altercations in the street and i was involved in one a week ago and the guys were pounding on the car and he tried to punch me and i called 911 and three police officers came out and within ten minutes, i had them in a paramedic unit. and they did not lay a hand on him. this guy was out of control and his face was bloody and all of

that, and i don't know if you filled out a report or what? but, we have been over this list to see that, the chief of police adjudicated two reports out of 60-some. i see this as kind of an error in itself. if you look at percentages, and in terms of people that have to go out and fill out a report, they are not going to do it unless they are very excited about something that did not happen or did happen, and you take the report and say, hey, we invest gated it and you have no cause. brutal handcuffing, i have been involved in that. some of these police officers don't know how to put the handcuffs on. they try to destroy your wrist in doing it. with no provocation. so, looking at these, i think that the occ, should do a better job in bringing this to the attention of this board, and in terms of compliance, and

in terms of percentages that would match some proper authority relative to these complaints because two and 60 does not do anything. and i thank you for your time on this matter. >> any further public comment? >> hearing none, public comment is now closed. call the next line item. >> line item 3, discussion and possible action regarding the sale of property located at 2300 third street, per police commission resolution 12-18. and action. >> thank you, and commissioners just a little background before we hear the speaker tonight, for those of us who were around before, this deals with an issue involving the old station, southeastern station, that was processed in 2012, and we learned in the commission and we learned the responsibility support and the commission had a long discussion about what we are going to do with it and so it

is an old relic and a beautiful old building and the police department was willing and we voted and agreed, after actually two sessions, because commissioners kind of taken off guard by it and that would be turned over to the city for it to be leased but to be leased to an entity that was related to the crime prevention and something relevant to law enforcement, and what the commission feel comfortable, and what we are being told is that the building is not in the appropriate condition to be leased and now the city wants to sell it and now we want the permission to do so and that is not something that we should vote on and that is not something that we will do as a commission, and before you go into the presentation, i know in this crazy real estate market, i don't know if you have any sellers or purchases identified but this is a historic police station and we need to look at this carefully and it is not something that the commission does on a

nightly basis and so having said that, it is yours. >> thank you, mr. president, and members of the commission, chief, director, and john, up dike, director of real estate and good evening, and so, let me give you a little further background, to get you up to speed, and do all of you have memorandum? and so let me just highlight the points of that and roll into the recommendation for your consideration and as you mention it is two years ago that we are here to discussion and two separate meetings and because it was a weighty subject and the fate of the old station and at that time, the commissioner authorized the lease, of the facility. just a few months after that, unfortunately, we had a fire started by some folks adjacent to the building and the fire in the weeds and got up into the roof line of the building, caused some p considerable damage to the building, and

after that, ironically we then received the approval to move forward with the project from the department of planning and the issuance of the general plan referral and kind of the first key step in the process, and legislatively to authorize a sailor a lease of a property. and after that, we began our discussions in the community, to see what interest was out there, to lease the property, talking with the developers and talking with the non-profit organizations and we heard very strongly from both the chief and the commission that a non-profit use would be ideal if we could secure that and the issue came up time and again the capitol need. and while we were doing that, we were investigating the cost to get the property in the condition where we could safely walk into the property with a prospect. >> and as it turned out it
