vehicle that actually hit the child and anybody out in the public that picture is on our website and if anybody could led us to that person, we want to talk to the driver of that car to find out, why he or she left the scene. also, late on sunday night and early monday morning, there was a fatality, on muni. and not on muni but by a bus, at geary and lion. and that investigation, is still under way, and it was a pedestrian, that was killed. but the fault in that particular accident has yet to be determined. and on a more positive note, we did have some positive activity in the department of 50 people, 50 members were promoted to the rank of sergeant or supervisor and the supervision is important to the department and to myself and they then, have been promoted in the course all week long and they will go to the new positions and i will be giving their assignments tomorrow. and i know that we have a

report, in another agenda item on the progress of our domestic violence and so i will refer the rest of my time to that presentation. >> thank you, chief. and i was just curious, we did get these e-mails about a shooting that took place yesterday that never made the news that maybe is just because i found it significant. but there was a shooting, at involving the funeral procession of someone who was a victim and several guns were covered and there was a chase and there was a dangerous situation, apparently the news is reporting about the (inaudible) instead of doing out in the city. >> the officers did a good job on that on the bay view and also a shooting on the 900 block of market street and two groups got after each other one was a san francisco group and one from the east bay and one person was struck, and he is now in stable condition at the hospital. and we were able to obtain a group, and determine who we believe the shooter was and

recover a weapon and so at rest was made for the attempted murder, and they were charged or being related to that crime. >> commissioner dejesus? >> okay, so, i think that i mentioned to you that i think that i read an article in the paper regarding collection of the racial profiling and we did not have enough information and it was recommendation for the other categories to gather it and i know that we have been doing that ever since and the article was about, that we have this data but there is no analysis of the data and i think that you can address that and you have some information. >> right, and so we, the article spoke to regional law enforcement and we actually analyze our data quite a bit. and in fact i just met with director, the it director and we have been tracking the racial make-up of not only the people that are arrested, but arrested for victim crimes and

arrested for drug crimes and we actually track the reportees and the victims of those crimes to determine what the racial make-up is there, and i don't have the numbers handy but i can bring them next time and also the reentry council is part of the actions that they are calling for that the department is a party to is the step, and the racial and a study of the profiling is across the justice system in san francisco, and we will be providing all of our entry to the foundation that will be doing that study. >> and you can give us the numbers and keep us posted on this council and i mean that is important if we can analyze it and hopefully we will see the results from there. >> sure. >> i will say that one of the things that we are getting to is the fact that hispanic is ethnicity and not a race. and so we still have that problem where hispanics are included in the races, white,

black, asian, and pacific islander, there are four. and any way, so, we have the racial break downs but again, the 19 ethnicities that we are trying to break it down father and we will get to that. >> and then i will have another question, too, could you just update where we are with the cameras for the officers. >> and so, i apologize that this has taken so long but we have been in the mass that is trying to reconcile the open bid and the city contracting and the whole thing and so my understanding is that we are very, very close now, and that the office of the contract administration that we are close to getting to the point where we will have the cameras procured and we are pretty much with the agreement to put them on the plain clothed supervisors.

>> yes. >> please call 2 b, occ director's report. >> occ direct's report. >> good evening president mazzucco and turman and chief, and members of the audience, this evening, i will talk about some of the out reach activities. occ staff, has been involved in, and last thursday, on the 21st, occ staff and i provided training to other occ staff, and 15 members of the greater bay area, civilian oversight community. and including representatives from bart's office of the officer, all the way up to the task force, and in santa rosa, and that is looking into the civilian oversight. and the training was in

conjunction, with nacol, the national association for civilian oversight of law enforcement and goal to have regional activities for civilian oversight practitioners and in connection with the occ goal of continuing to do the out reach both within san francisco and the greater bay area community. and occ attorney mediater donna salazar spoke to the group about establishing and maintaining successful medation programs, and occ attorney, sam, also, policy analyst, talked to the group about providing the policy recommendations that builds a bridge between the community and law enforcement. and then, marian was not busy because on sunday, and i know that commissioner marshal will go more into detail about it

later. but she was a commentator, on the program, street soldiers on know your rights. and she did that, with commissioner marshal and also, with patty lee, from the public defender's office. and i was not in town, and i was celebrating my 35th wedding anniversary but i did get the opportunity to listen to the very, lively, radio program, later. >> and now, i also asked that we met with representatives of the urban institute who are out from washington, d.c..

>> updates on cases and we will get a detailed report at the end of august in one of your september meetings but just for a brief update, today, the occ has opened 481 cases compared to 474 same time last year. as of today, we have 331 pending cases compared to 319 at the same time last year. neither of those number, comparatively so, is statistically significant, but what is statistickly significant is that the occ has sustained the allegations compared to 17 as of august, 27 last year, and so increase of about 111 percent. as of today, the occ has mediated 35 cases compared to

36 through august 31st of last year and in closing, for today's report, as i have mentioned before, nacol has an annual training conference, this year. and the annual training conference is in kansas city, missouri, and although, kansas city, missouri, is about three hours away from ferguson, the topic of what happened in ferguson is going to be front and center. on sunday, the kansas city, had planned in conjunction with the nacol to have a community forum and so i am sure that the topic

of use of force will be discussed. as well, as militaryization of law enforcement. that concludes my report. >> thank you very much. >> commissioner turman? >> thank you director hicks. and increase of 107 percent in learning that increase, did you also know what type of offenses seem to be on the rise over the last year? >> commissioner turman, it has been, 8 months, and that type of analysis. we don't tend to provide until the very end of the year because things shift, so i don't have an answer to your question, but i could provide you with one at next week's meeting to let you know where, those allegations fall.

and what areas. >> and i would appreciate it if you could, i would like to know if we are talking about the traffic stop data, and we are talking use of force or what type of issues that we are dealing with and i think that it will be helpful for the department to know that as well. >> yes, commissioner turman, and of course, chief, suhr is aware of the nature of the complaints because when the occ sustains, a complaint, that is finds, misconduct or neglect of duty, then, we forward our findings to the chief, and then the chief determines, whether or not he is in agreement, and imposes discipline as he deems appreciate and unless, of course it is a more serious case that will entail more than ten days of suspicious up to and including termination, and that is when it would come to your attention, and in the form

of chief suhr. or, i, filing charges with you. and then, monthly, i do provide you with the chief's adjudication of the cases that we sustained but i will provide you a break down of the areas. >> right. and i am aware that you do provide this on and ongoing basis and a snapshot on a individual month, but as we have noted a at the pointed over a concern period of time it would be interesting to look at that trend and see what the issues are. >> i am happy to provide you that information. >> thank you, commissioner dejesus? >> thank you. i am really glad to hear that when you are going to the naco? >> yes, they are going to talk about the militaryization, and i just want to say, you know, we have a civilian police force, and they keep people use at para military attorney loosely, but we have a civil police force and i noticed that the obama administration and

the department of justice are going to investigate where they are giving left over equipment like tanks to the police departments and the police departments are rolling it out against the civilians which is shocking to see and then to understand that we are, and the federal government is actually handing out lmilitary equipment, i assume that may be part of the decision and that is part of the militaryization of the police department. and so i am looking forward to hearing your report on that. and one of the questions that i guess that i should have asked the chief is if we are going to get that equipment from the military. >> we do get some stuff, for instance, like it was just today, folks concerned about this asked me if was okay if we accepted some forklifts. and so i took a chance that it would be okay, that is not what they were talking about. predating me, we do have two vehicles that would be used for

rescue. but, those require a deputy chief's approval under this administration to go out. and on occasion, those will be at events which will not be the case any more, those will just be strictly for something like a barricaded suspect and they are mainly to get between an active shooter and the team to try to neutralize such a threat, or trying to extract someone out, but the other things that we have like... and most of our stuff is protected like the vests and the night vision so that you can see at night. and one of our boats, came from surplus that sort of thing. >> good. well that is good to know, thank you so much and i am looking forward to seeing what the report is, because that was kind of shocking to see in the paper. and this is something that i wanted to ask you, that as we keep getting, i am wondering if you will be kind enough to tell the public again, how we have and we have a two-track investigation, the department does their own, but the occ has a way to investigate, any complaints, against any officers, and perhaps, maybe just the process and then if

the charges are warranted what the process is after that, and so maybe the public can understand, that we have different arms that do investigations. >> commissioner dejesus? this evening, you would like that, or is this at a later date? >> you can do it at a later date if you would like. i just want people, i think that we should let the public know how the process works. >> and i will be happy to briefly address it. and when a civilian has a complaint of a police misconduct or a neglect of duty, the public can file a complaint, with my office, or we can file it with the police department and the police department will forward it to my office. and there are several different ways that that complaint with be filed, the most recent one, is we now provide for on-line, complaint filing. and i have a staff, of investigators who are assigned

each case, and they investigate the case, by receiving information from the police department, as well as other avenues as well. the investigators conduct interviews of the officers, and witnesses as well and at the conclusion of that investigation, and our investigations are, but i am not the hiring entity, chief, suhr is and he has the authority to impose discipline as i indicated earlier up to ten days suspicious and then this police commission has authority to impose discipline, on a greater than that.

and yes, there are several tracks, particularly in an officer involved shooting. and one track is with the police commission, that they are determining whether an officer is fit to return to duty and another track is the investigation that the police department provides. and conducts, following the officer-involved shooting. and then the occ also, conducts an investigation, relying on, information that it receives from the police department, as well as information that the occ gathers independently through the conduct, of interviews. >> i don't know if there is more... >> that is good. i mean that i just wanted the people to understand the structure that is in place, when investigations are going forward. >> and did you also, add that you can file charges separately, independently, i didn't hear that, maybe i just

missed it. >> you did not hear that. >> i mean i don't mean to put you on spot, you can bring the charges in front of this commission or bring the officers in front of this commission. >> if the chief of police, determines not to file charges with the police commission, after i have requested him to do so, then i can independently file charges. during chief suhr's tenure that has not occurred. so, that is me asking him to file charges and him refusing. >> i didn't mean to put you on the spot, thank you so much i thought that it would be good. >> she does it in her sleep. >> call line item, 2 c, commission reports. >> discussion. >> commission's president's report and commissioner's reports. >> i just want to report that a week ago friday i attended the graduation for the san francisco police academy. graduated 33 brand new officers 34.

okay and it was a great group of young officers, joining the department and it was great to be there and commissioner loftus joined me and so the good news is that there are 34 more officers out on the street and we have several classs in there and the chief gave a really incredible speech and he actually referenced the captain johnson, from st. louis and he asked that all of the officers follow in his lead. and be inspired by him. and his willingness to do the right thing and it was powerful and so thank you very much and for the members of the department, if you are watching tonight, get to work. >> commissioner melara? >> yes, i just want to report that last friday, i attended a meeting at the mayor's office in regards to a plan that has been proposed by the members of the latino community, and it is called the road to peace and it is a plan that it is trying to address the violence in the mission district.

and so, the mayor's office has been working with this group for some time and i was invieded to attend and the mayor's office has committed to looking at potential sources of funding to put the plan in practice and the group has been asked to come back with a specific plan of action, that would specifically look at actually some results in the community, and so, i will be participating in potential move forward. and so i will keep you posted on that. >> great. >> commissioner hwang, welcome back. >> thank you, i do want to apologize for missing a couple of meetings. >> you have family commitments, >> i have been working on police commission, business in the between time i want to report on a couple of events.

>> i attended several dinners and i know that the chief and the other staff spent a great deal of time at the far east cafe and i was also able to speak at the police committee meeting and i mentioned to the chief before the meeting how impressed i am by the captain and he had a packed room of individuals who he fed baked goods i believe from his wife's shop. >> very good. >> and it was in high demand at the tender loin meeting and he facilitated a great meeting and stayed for hours, and i think that nobody left and feels like their needs were not being addressed and so i was impressed with the captain and i attended a public meeting that was called by the captain, primarily aimed at a lot of the large building owners in china town and he is developing a safety plan in china town in response to a number of the

alarming robberies of seniors, and the folks posing as city employees or perhaps, the utility contractors or breaking into senior's hopes to rob them and so he is calling upon the larger building owners to install safety cameras, perhaps in a centralized way and developing a comprehensive plan to increase lighting and safety, and change the environment to address crime, following up from that on sunday, following on that, i will be speaking to a large group of seniors about personal safety issues and he is expecting 500 seniors and family to attend and i thought that i would check in after the meeting and see if the occ would be interested and i know that the occ has spoken at this event in the past and maybe about ten years ago and it is a super sunday event, organized by the corporation. and next thursday, september 4th, in response to a very highly successful, national

night, out event organized by the tender loin, station, i am sorry by the central station, they are going on to have a second, local night out and that will be thursday, september fourth, 6 to 8 p.m., at the square and they are expecting several hundred people to attend and i will be going to that as well. and on a personal note, since i was last with the commission i have changed positions and i am now the deputy director at asian pacific islander, which is a 39-year-old social justice legal services organization that works in the area of domestic violence and human trafficking and immigrant rights and elder abuse. and i also want to know that for the city attorney's office i know that there are a large of advocates tonight including hasan who is established at my office and i don't know if there are any issues that will present a conflict and i will rely upon you to let me know. >> thank you. >> dr. marshall.

>> and i think that you heard, director hicks said that i really want to thank sam, and patty lee for coming on the show on sunday. and know the events of ferguson have focused a lot of attention on the citizens encounters with the police and i felt that it would be a good time to talk about can and legally can't do and legally can and can't say and wish that you should or should not do. or should or should not say, in those encounters and that the two hours went by way too quickly. and i have already had a number of people already call me and say thank you, can we do it again? and can we do it again? and i talked to the young people, last night, at the program at the club and i actually speaking to a bunch of young people and they wanted to

talk about it. and so, it would have been difficult to do, without them, and they were really really good. i think that it is something that we have to continue to talk to our young people about in particular, and you know, i got calls from way around the country, it was not even local and one of the things that i we would do and talk about what we would do in the department and the nuances and the shading and the things that we would do in san francisco that may be different in other places. but, you know, i hope that she will be here so that i could thank her publicly, but thanks. and you know, thanks all of the listeners but we got to do it again. thank you. >> great. call line item 2 d. >> 2 d, commission announcements and scheduling of

items identified for consideration at future commission meeting. and next schedule police commission meeting is september third, here at city hall. and on september 23th we will be in the central district, we don't have a location as of yet, though. >> okay. >> anything, or any future items for consideration, i know that we have got pretty much a packed agenda coming up? anything else that we would like to add to that. >> hearing none, it is time for public comment... >> i just want to remind the commission that i am going to be out of the country from september 13 to october 2. >> okay. >> public comment? >> commissioners, good evening, for the record my name is amelo lawrence. and i have one question and in discussing future meet ands looking at the ago ahead

agenda, why are there so many cancellations is that a lack of business, what is the that, and if you are going to discuss the future meetings and discuss half of them or two-thirds of them, what is the point? so my question is, and i don't know if you have to answer it or answer my question here, or the rules say that you can't answer my question here. but it is a logical question. and you can't plan future meetings when your agenda is canceling future meetings, i think that is an issue here, i think that i have seen more cancellations this year than in the last three years. >> any public comment, regarding line items 2 a through d? >> hearing none, public comment is closed. we had, and summer, and a lot

of the commissioners have family commitments, a lot of the commissioner haves work commitments, this is a part time job for the commissioners and many of us much to the destain of some of the audience here are lawyers, and we have practices that we have to maintain as attorneys. and we have practices that we maintain as mental health counselors, and we have young children. and so, it is not unusual that people take a vacation, with their family. also, we are down one commissioner until commissioner melara was sworn in and so we had issues with having a quorum, when you add trial schedules, legitimate vacation and people getting sick, and down one commissioner, it was at times difficult to have a quorum. by i guarantee you that we made our best efforts to have as possible, it is just called life. >> line item 3, status update,

regarding revised department, general order, 6.09 domestic violence discussion. >> okay. >> sure. >> so, july 22nd, the department completed what we believe is a good draft, and sent it over to the occ for a look over my understanding, is marian has been looking at it and working with the advocates on the same and i will bring up from his prior life, captain joseph mcfaden now of engelside station that the draft was handed over and who was done all of the work with the advocates and the special victims on this thing and so if i can get the captain to come up and let us know, where we are in the future, these presentations will be by the new captain of special victims, captain gracy. >> good evening, commissioners. >> good evening, captain. >> and so, it was about a year and a half that we started this

changing of the department general order, for the domestic violence, 6.09, and it was decided along the way in working with the advocate groups, especially beverly up ton that we will separate out the general order and make the officer-involved general order and which we have, we looked at our general order, which is 6.09 and we went back with our community groups and for everyone's input and this has been going on for a year and a half and beverly is great at working with us and we came up with something that we believe is ready to go forward and maria in is looking at it just to curtail any concerns that we might have. we actually met this morning, also, and regarding the units, and also a concern of this board before you that we also wanted to address in the future time, we do believe that it is solid and we did add
