more questions i'll yield to captain >> before sclaifr leaves you've harder the retirement words. that's to the board of supervisors and the mayor's office awhile other cities were cutting back on police officers and laying them off we were not process of hiring look at the crime rates and supervisor mar deserves a round of applause we have two classes in the academy and approved to hire 3 hundred officers in the next few years we'll still be below admireable and honorable so supervisor mar we thank you (clapping) we'll have a brief statement from director hicks from the

ocii and move into champion hicks report. >> gag director hicks. good evening vice president marshall. members of the police station supervisor mar. chief suhr. captain silverman and the members of the audience i'm joyce hicks the director of the san francisco of citizen complaints in addition here from the ocii is the senior investigator sherry out in the audience. it's a pleasure to be here this evening to speak about the office of complaints we're as soon as as the ocii. we're the third largest civilian law enforcement agency in the united states we are on

surpassed in size by new york and chicago seven oversight agencies. a little bit about our history. we were created by a board of supervisors supported charter amendment in 1982 and become operational about six months later in 1983 we're 32 are years old we're overwhelming in officer of the san francisco police department but were later placed in the description of the police commission that's an vicinity agency separate from the police department we're also a civic body we assist the police department in building trust in matters building trust with the community by being the bridge between the public and the police in matters of police

misconduct and police policies. our mission so to insure police accountability by conducting free and timely and unbiased recommendations and on policies and practices macro recommendations. finally in the complainant and the police. here in california law enforcement agencies must have a premiered to investigate complaints from the public by peace officers in san francisco the ocii serves that purpose. the ocii has a staff of diverse civilians who have never been san francisco police but could have been police officers or other law enforcement officials in other agencies. we have 35 employees the majority of our employees are investigators and the balance of

our staff economists of lawyers and the port staff. we conduct investigations when we receive a complaint to find out what happened. we follow the evidence by interviewing the person that made the complaint essence as the complainant and talk to the officers and we have speak up power to obtain evidence we obtain additional evidence from the police department in the form of incident reports and other documents generated by the department. we make visits to the site of the alleged curtains and during those visits we might take paragraphs of persons or places canvas the area for more witnesses, look to see if there

are video cameras that may have captured the pint. our goal is to complete our investigations within 9 months and with limited exemption the final time period is one year we make a finding of whether or not the police officers violated local or state or federal laws the standard of proof we make in making our finding is the preponderance of evidence it makes the probable cause is more likely than not the probability is greater than 50 percent. if after we complete our investigation we make a finding of the misconduct or ethnic of duty we forward the report to

chir for further action he can imposing compose discipline up to 10 days anything greater than that that the police department has jurisdiction from a slarn point of view we engage the officers to engage in meditations that's an alternative to discipline. last year in 2013, the ocii facilitated 59 meditations that's 8 percent of the 22 cases we closed last year but your miergs program does it allows cases to be resolved in a dispute formulate it's to bring the involved parties together in an effort to achieve mutual understanding we have a partnership with community

boards and the san francisco bar socialization that provide us with neutral mediators for our mitigation program so ocii staff didn't conduct the meditations. we do conduct our meditations in the language of the complainant so in languages other than english. the mediation program is volunteer that means that both the officer and the complainant must agree to engage in mediation in order for a mediation to go forward. last year 87 percent of eligible officers participated in our mediation program. our mediation coordinator don salazar was last year's recipient of the award of the mitigation of northern

california i want to share statistics about the complaints we received last year and the complainant who filed them. in 2013, the ocii received seven hundred and 22 - 27 complaints this is a two percent reduction in complainants we've received over 2012 when he received seven hundred and 40 complaints last year, we have engages in 66 case we found proper conduct that means that the officers didn't engage in misconduct and the preponderance of evidence proved that. in 25 percent of the allegations we investigated. and in two percent of the allegations we investigated that he found they were unfounded or not true the largest percentage of allegations were for neglect

of duty followed by disconsider and unnecessary force kwh which compromises 10 percent of the allegations and we sustained 5 allegations of unnecessary force. in looking at the complainants democrat graphically 28 percent were african-americans. caucasians were another thirty percent of the complainants and 19 percent of our complainants declined to state their race. additionally our complainants included asian-americans another 6 percent a latinos at 6 percent and native asian pacific islanders 2. and others. the ocii staff speaks cantonese and mandarin and berry miss and spanish two of our investigators

there 6 months and as i talk about the thanks the station that has been going on it's important to acknowledge my predecessor new deputy chief sharon most of the work is things that started on her watch and also to acknowledge the hard working men and women at richmond station that's really those people that do the work and provided the excellent service here in the community. so you can see that the richmond has a large proportion of the northeast part of the city it's primarily resident but shopping district in laurel village along sacramento street coordinate and geary billboard and clement street also a larger recreational area the golden gate park and the golden gate

recreation area. so quick facts about the district at the 5.7 square miles it's one of the largest district it's skinny there's one hundred and one thousand people give or take it makes us one of the more pop laced plays in the city we have the significant chinese and russian speaking community pretty diverse income spread is from very well-off people to people in public housing. most of the district is lower independent residential single families and so apartments and condos there or 25 schools we serve 3 supervisory supervisor mar district one is the majority

of the district and supervisor farrell has kind of a long skinny portion later than the north edge and out to the extreme east is supervisor breed. we work very closely with each of the supervisors and we have a great working relationship i talk to them and their staff all the time. so the district is a diverted into 5 car seektsz each the sectors is assigned to an officer for their shift for their primary roenl responsibility we try electro spread the work out. we have an average response time to priority calls and category those abc category depends on the surrenders a threat to life or the other safety is a permit
