inactive. of the closed cases 6 received citations and 43 were booked. our closure rate 49 total cases submitted to the district attorneys office. and 6 filed as misdemeanors and on 6 citations were subsequently issued and only 2 were diss missed our misdemeanor driving while intoxication closure rate we had 90 percent that were filed and only 10 percent dismissed and i apologize i don't have the hard numbers on that. our traffic company

administrative functions there's some assignments that we fulfill on on a daily basis that the general public and some of you folks may or may not be aware of. the youth guidance center traffic court on wednesday and we operate a public service window at the traffic company and adjudication and provide tow hearings and our administrative staff issues citations and issued to

. >> >> yes in fact it's glaring that the aggregate number of collisions is not being presented and that's simply because we're still a paper driven process and we're trying

to make certain that all of the systems that are in place are in accordance with one another and i met with the office this week to make certain that some 6 thousand collision incident reports -- 2014 are in line with what we have in our crossroad system the crossroad system is an incredible tool because it allows us to make a distinction of persons involved in collisions and basically gives us the tool to identify where our problems are what type of behaviors are the most problematic and to be able to put resources there according ly and our effort is to be as

transparent and provide the public with as much information as possible and what's in front of you is actually a summary of each and every traffic fatal ity that we've had up to date and there's obviously a time factor here we don't want to give information out as soon as the incident occurs that may jeopardy ize the investigation and we want to provide the public with as much information as possible so that they are informed as to what behaviors are out there and what areas of the city are concerning clearly with many of the operations that we've done with the california highway patrol we focus on van ness avenue we've had 4 pedestrians killed on van ness avenue this year and that's unacceptable and as we

put more resources there we hope to to curtail that activity and the same with the back to school enforcement. using our partners that are going to consolidate volunteers to go out as well as having no nonsense motorcycle officers out there we're going to give people tickets that don't listen. >> suffice to say it's moving from paper to having real time data is essential so there's those parts collect it analyze it and use it and it would be great to see the number of operations at the next report around school facilities and senior zones i'll also be walking my 3 kids to school on monday so i'm glad you are out

there and using the data and thank you for your continued partnership on this. one other piece of data we want to look at going forward is the percentage of citations to focus on the five. >> yes. >> i know there's a lot of interests that you are looking at and that would be a good data point going forward. >> actually i can offer that to you now. >> of course you can [laughter]. >> we're at 22 percent and currently at 24 percent so you know when you are talking 66 thousand citations those 2 percentage points are significant in terms of of the actual number of citations issued for those areas. >> yeah and we feel like they collisions are so preventible and so enforcing on those behaviors is something we hope that's going to continue to get great results. thank you chief

for prioritizing it. >> this has been a collaborative approach by the walk san francisco and bike coalition i want to thank the police officers the numbers are down and the numbers of statistics are up and talk about patting somebody on the back -- the numbers speak for themselves here the numbers are way down thank you chief and commissioner it's remarkable and can only get better. commissioners, anything else? >> i know we have that joint meeting i guess it was -- what was it? >> our reports -- do they get a copy of our reports? i know we talked about the proposal about zero and all of that anyway we'll share them with them.

>> absolutely we're making these reports public. >> i'll make sure director gets this powerpoint. >> commissioner? >> is there anything that the folks in the bicycle coalition want to add to this? >> sure. . >> it's your last chance [laughter]. >> you can't leave. >> oh, i'll be back. >> thank you commissioners. [laughter]. >> i'm the executive director of the san francisco bicycle coalition for about five more months. thank you for your kind words. that's my favorite phrase thank you so much honestly i've been in this position of executive director for 12 years and i used to tell people one of the most difficult parts of my job historically has been this area i did not feel like we were

making advancements around the enforcement issue and safety issue and i feel so much better about that today and thanks for your leadership commissioners and the team i feel so much better in in the last 6 months about where we're heading like you said the numbers speak for themselves. we're moving in the right direction and i think there's so much more room to go and we're going there. i have every confidence you are committed to that. chief i'm glad you mentioned and highlighted the language that's used moving from calling something an accident to a collision that's a really big deal when i talk to my allies and peers in other cities they are really impressed by that not many places are doing that. and the transparency in

reporting. and the data driven approach. i know we're not all the way there but we know the will is there and we know the potential is there and that we will get there and i want to say thank you for this increased attention on traffic enforcement. i'm certain that the work you are doing is paying off and on behalf of the san francisco bicycle coalition we're really happy to have this partnership. i'm really happy it doesn't feel like we're butting heads it really really feels like progress. i want to commend you all and i have every confidence to you all that after i leave that the san francisco bicycle coalition is a hundred percent committed to continuing to work with you all and i'll make sure i introduce right now two of our staff members on the team eric who is our program manager and working closely with the command aly

and tyler is our new policy director joining us from washington, d.c. doing a great job and they are here and they will be the ones bugging you next year and on and on and on and i want to promise you we will stay engaged and thank you very much. >> safe travels. >> good evening commissioners my name is nicole schneider i definitely want to echo lea's comments i think we've made a ton of progress and we're all headed in the right direction and i want to thank the commissioner's office for her leadership on this. when someone says accident in his presence it's actually one of the things that i reflect on or think you know when we've made progress this is one symbol

that we've really made progress and of course commander aly and captain for your commitment and ongoing dedication to this right now we can get caught up in the data but when we take a step back, these are real people, innocent people that are losing their lives and we know these are preventible deaths. while we can stand here and present the data i don't want us to forget that we're here to save lives and i think the other thing i wanted to commend the police department on is the commitment that different station areas taken captain lum has worked with us to create cards to give out to drivers to educate them on the five most dangerous traffic behaviors and also be

giving out the enforcement efforts next week. and you know, i think going forward i just look forward to continuing the partnership and continuing the collaboration and making sure we get to that zero goal and you know, bringing in the other agencies and continuing to collaborate you know, you guys are not our only focus we're working hard on the engineering piece we've announced lower speed limits i just appreciate your effort towards the enforcement piece and i know we'll get there at least by 2024 if not sooner thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. one more. >> next. >> next is a presentation of

the second quarter 2014 fdr finding and recommendations and ois investigation summary sergeant john -- crudif. >> good evening. >> good evening president mazuka and commissioners and director i'm sergeant john cruder with the sf internal f internal affairs commission and i'm going to present the second quarter recap as well as give you a quick summary of where we are in the open cases. we had the -- with regard to the

discharge review board we met on june 20th, 2014 and looked at 4 cases that had been completed. ois 11-08 and 3 discharges 03, 04 and 05 of 2014 the composition of this board chaired by chief deputy chief schmidt were in attend ance as voting members and on behalf of the occ captain and acting captain from the academy. to recap the 4 cases we looked at the officer

involved shooting. >> the driver ended up retreating and crashed a short time later and was taken into custody that was found to be in policy it did satisfy our conditions with respect to vehicles. with regards to

officer involved discharge 03-14 this was a case that was on the 1600-block of bacon street of february 17th of this year at approximately 3: 30 in the morning they received a call somebody was trying to kick down a door of a residence there and upon privately the officers found a male that was prone in front of the residence. as they made their approach 2 dogs charged at them and the officers retreated. he fired at both dogs who ran off. the gentleman was eventually detained for being intoxicated in public. it turned out to be someone he knew he didn't expect the guy to be coming

over. that's what happened. those were found to be in policy. march 29th, 2014, officer involved discharge occurred in the 400-block of broadway this incident an officer was investigating a stolen vehicle a license plate reader and the officer went to investigate and found the vehicle to be occupied and the officer drew a department issued weapon made contact with the officer resulting in a discharge. the suspect fled and was not struck. it was an accidental discharge, no one was injured and the driver was arrested after investigation this was found to be not in policy and the last one that we reviewed at the review board was 05-14 this is again

involving a dog april 24th, 2014, officers went to investigate a domestic violence call upon arrival they saw a suspect both officers fired at the dog and that was found to be in policy. the next is tentative ly scheduled and i'll give you a recap of where we are in open investigations. when i last talked to you was may 7th and there were 20 open cases currently 19 open cases but we've made significant progress as you will hear. we

did complete as i talked about 11-08 and you did receive that summary report shortly after the fdrv since that time and with a lot of work by the commissioners i appreciate what you did. we got 9 charging decision letters from the da's office after that meeting. the last presentation and homicide has received those 9 charging decision letters and i'll say on the da side there's some other agencies so they cleared a lot of those cases out of there. we had 9 that we received homicide as finalizing their reports and the process of getting those to internal affairs to finish our work and we'll be presented at the next fdrv or the one after which

will be well moving forward and there's 9 investigations currently with the da in review and they are either in the process of writing their reports or drafting their final letters and we have 1 case that is still open and homicide is going to be waiting for the me report in that case. the medical exam ers report and to recap we have one open case at this point from 2011 we do have the letter from the da and that's moving forward. and then all the cases for 2012 we did receive charging decision letters since the last fdrv so those are moving forward with the final administrative report and we actually have 2 letters for 2013 cases and all the

remaining cases 13.3 and 13-5 and 13-4 was closed that was an accidental discharge where an officer was injured and then the 4 cases of 2014 remain open so those all of those latter 9 except for the most recent case are with the da for review and to prepare their charging decisions so there has been some progress. >> thank you sergeant i want to say from the last presentation we had back in may there was concern among the commission that it was taking time for the final closure with these matters and the final straw of these multifacetted investigations we're waiting on those charging decisions they

are doing their analysis and waiting for the results from the medical exam ers office and we had 3 phone conversations regarding this and within a week and a half i think they closed out 9 cases shortly there after so the good news is i want to thank you for getting us some closure so i think it was very productive the comments made at the last meeting and. >> i think you did a great job we've been down this road i think 8 times now or something so i just wanted to say you have done an extraordinary job of keeping the pieces moving so nothing slows down and these are complicated cases and the da's office has a number of

things to deal with but i want to thank the da's office. justice delayed is justice denied so congratulations on all of your hard work because it was really essential figuring out what pieces of the whole system needed some encouragement so thank you. >> thank you for your help. >> i just want to clarify something on march 29th, 2014. the vehicle contacted the officer resulting in accidental discharge. >> yes. >> i think i need to hear it from you. what does that mean exactly? >> understanding this is administrative case and we're in an open foru m. the vehicle

pulled away and the vehicle contacted the officer and the officer one of the big issues was the officer's placement of the finger on the trigger. when the contact was made there's a normal reaction the officer was struck by the vehicle but the normal reaction is going to be to flinch or contract and if placement is incorrect that contraction happens. >> she did not intend to shoot the gun. she squeezed her hand and the gun went off. she clenched with her finger on the trigger. >> okay. anything further for the sergeant? >> thank you very much
