4:24 pm
san francisco police department there is one bumper sticker and on the back of every single car as you see the police vehicles traveling around and it simply says that there is no excuse for domestic violence. and because, there is not. and much has been made in the national media about how come this happened and that happened and how about just no, there is no excuse, period, for the domestic violence. >> and the san francisco police department is a critical piece of that as we respond to any calls for domestic violence in san francisco and as the mayor pointed out, we did enjoy a period of some 40 plus months where there were no dow mist i can violence homicides in san francisco. and now, it is having suffered three, even though we are in a record low, homicide, here, almost ten percent and better than ten percent of the homicides that have occurred in san francisco, have been domestic violence related. and we continue to provide the
4:25 pm
assessment for the training for the police officers and increased the limited accomplish training because we don't want somebody's inbility to communicate in english to be a deter and we want to insure that all survivors that san francisco is a sanctuary city and that there is status in the united states will never be called into question and they need to report, because again, there is no excuse for domestic violence upon anybody. our special victims unit continues to thrive without 16 additional investigators to the special victim's unit just in the calendar year, 2014. and the things for most as we see it work here best in san francisco and as we continued to have the domestic violence advocates located in the special victim's unit and, the celebrates their 10th anniversary this year, and
4:26 pm
being, emerged in our 14 and the ten yard audit, and in the backlog and we contracted with the vendors to clear it back ten years by the mid 2015. we initiated an asap protocol, in january of this year and so there will never be a sexual assault kit backlog again. >> so again, i know that there are other speakers and i don't want to take me more time and i just goted gonzaga the to keep saying it and we kelt that it was important enough to put a sticker on the cars when it is the only one there it speaks volume to have it committed we as a city and a police department and how much we enjoy the partnerships and we are committed to nobody being
4:27 pm
able to make a excuse for domestic violence, thank you. >> please help me recognize the members of the police commission and the police department. [ applause ] >> next is our district attorney george cascon who has championed effort to intervene and prevent acts of violence against women and he is exciting news to share, please welcome the district attorney. you know, it is exciting to see it here today. and but i like to for a moment, all of us coming together and they see and that no more violence. come on. >> no more violence, you know, still, one out of every four women in this country, report being the victim of domestic violence some time in their life. and so while we often get
4:28 pm
together, and especially during this month, to celebrate the accomplishments and to talk about all of the great things that we are doing, and there is still a lot of work, and this year, and 3 homicides and do not indicate that there is a lot of work that still needs to be done. and especially those, who are working in the domestic violence, and i want to thank the supervisors and the mayor for the monitorry support that we received last year, and to beat all of the resources. and for it to support, and insure, and in order to do the
4:29 pm
work. and we have the resources and the conviction rate and that are significantly increased. and we have it in front of and getting the victim services to the big victims and to the suppliers very quickly. and most people think that in the district attorney office is a prosecutor, and when it comes to the domestic violence, and it is a great deal of, and and it to make sure that we get the restrainingorders and to make sure that we deal with the custody issues and and for the survivors, and to be able to move on with their life. and you know, recently, you know, we were just talking to some of the other people that
4:30 pm
we work with and some of the survivors and we have the women who said, you know, i was so, so afraid, of going to court and she walked in, and she met one of the victims services counselors, and she said that you know, i felt that all of a sudden like i was at home and that makes a difference, not only in being able to begin, the healing process, and but, also being able to hold the aggressors accountable and you know, we tell the people that actually if we do our work well, and we intervene earlier, we have an opportunity and that all of us can prevent the future acts of violence and assuming that the family wants to stay together, we can actually help the families do it together. and that is not the cycle of violence goes on for years, and it usually does by the way, if you do not intervene early on, it will increase the frequency and it
