and this line is not final. we want to get from you what's on your find in. i would like to tell you a little bit about what we do in our jobs. we'll start with commissioner hwang. i work with elder abuse. >> lara, i work fore parents through the family court and also on the faculty of san francisco state university. >> good evening, everyone. my name is julius turman, a resident of district 10 in the potrero hills

section. i am when i'm not working in the police commission i'm a partner in a lawfirm here in northern california. glad to have this opportunity to meet with the residents of district 10 and hear your concerns, particularly about the police line. this is also a district in which i live. i'm very interested in hearing everyone's comments about how the boundary lines are being drawn and what the improvements are or if you agree with some of the changes. thank you for coming out tonight. >> dr. joe marshall. i'm with the boys and girls club. district 10. all the ones we've had around the new district boundaries have been very helpful. i hope that continues tonight.

thank you. >> my name is susan' loftus a naive city san franciscan and now i work at the attorney general's office. i have three girls and my mom is here tonight. >> where is your mom? >> she's right there. >> she should stand. >> mom, do you want to say hello to everyone? >> i don't think she wants to stand. please call the next line item. >> i would like to introduce too chief of police gregory greg suhr. >> good evening, my name is greg suhr. i want to explain how we came about this process and why we are

doing what we are doing. there are a charter provision that requires the police department look at district station boundaries and allow for such things as changing population, future population, new neighborhoods, calls for service and an akkadary of other items that will be up on the screen. the reason we have to move the boundary and it has to affect bayview. the way it sits right now, we'll have two police stations. we have the southern and the bayview. the new southern station is just across the street from the at & t parking lot. no matter what the districts have to swing around to put that district in the bayview. the bayview

station will have the same exact amount of officers and will have less area of responsibility depending on how the commission decides. that line in pencil is at 16th street but many people in the southern district have asked that the entire ucsf campus go into the southern so there is not a dividing line so that would put the new northern border of bayview to the freeway. otherwise the good news for the bayview and there have been folks that advocated that there be no more of a change that that. that the border of the bayview at this point in time will find it's way to 16th street or to mariposa. for people here from other districts that might want to speak about what's going on with your border,

the other greater change is the tenderloin district will go from just north of market street to a long district come across market street to almost mission street. right now the way it's drawn from third to van ness and the northern station moves west to divisadero. those are the primary changes in the neighborhoods and of course wooem -- we'll hear your concerns and we'll tell you what those changes mean. >> if i could recognize deputy chief staff paul henderson's from the mayor's office and my colleague tiffany sutton from the prosecutors office. thank you for being

here. >> good evening, commissioners. chief suhr, my name is robert sullivan with the bayview station. it's an honor to have you here today to talk about the proposed changes. as the chief mentioned there is only a minimal change of the current proposal to the bayview district. bayview is one of 10 police districts. the only other people that is larger is the taravel district. our district currently has five sectors, five areas of geography to which we assign the officers. the area that is in question that we'll talk about tonight is what we consider the bayview one cart. what will happen is we are northernmost boundary which is currently cove when the

giants were here, i was at the doormat but i didn't go to the party. we'll lose mckovey cove down to 16th street. it will have little impact on bayview. right now the mission district is covered by the uc foot print. the uc campus has it's own police department. we do assist from time to time when they might have a planned or unplanned demonstration. but it does make sense, i believe, that that border might go as far as down as mariposa because the new uc hospital. the southern most portion of that a butts 17th street. that being said, we know in

the bayview there is currently a tremendous amount of growth and there will be continuing to be a tremendous amount of growth with the park being demolished we know there is going to be a 50,000 square foot shopping center with the greenhouse and it will be connected to the shipyard or over the cos way. when it's built out there might be an additional 30-40,000 people per day in the shipyard when we account for the commercial and residential retail. and they will go to san francisco as well to the ferry building. so i do expect that should again should the current proposal be adopted that it will have a minimal effect on us. certainly the services that we provide with

residents to the bayview and with the bayview police department it will remain the same and the addition of more calls to service in those areas. with that being said, randy mcclure is here with the office and others with the committee we got together and looked at the data and the maps and eventually we forwarded handful of maps to the chief for his review. i think randy is going to take us through. he has a powerpoint presentation and the process and data he serviced which i know a little about. those types of numbers, randy can assist with that. >> thank you, captain. >> good evening. my name is randy mcclure. i'm a project

manager at the controllers office. thank you, chief, thank you commissioners. i'm just going to walk through the presentation that we've given this past month giving an overview of this project, some of the drivers, data points and variables we looked at and as we came to at this point where we are considering proposed line changes for the 10 districts in san francisco. so as you can see some of the drivers were as the chief mentioned the new southern district police station. population growth throughout the city not only in bayview but other parts of the city. work flow differences between the districts and board of supervisors legislation that requires an analysis of redistricting every 10 years. approximately a year ago the police department and the controllers office hired an expert consultant

called public safeties strategies group who came out several times over the past year to compile information and work on a methodology where by face ilitated with their help with the staff and police department sat in a room and looked at data and looked at the variables that they thought were important and considered many different maps and different line changes to a process to come to a series of maps that they passed along to a steering committee that including the chief, a member of the department of the emergency management and controller which then led us to november and december as when it was presented to the police commission as the final map that you see today. a final map that's proposed. >> the project structure, we had a cities team which included controllers

office members as well as a captain of the police department and then the consultant with safety strategies group went out to speak to different stakeholders on the department through their many years of service. that was passed up to the working group which consisted of 8 members of command staff through the police department and went through all of these iterations of maps and data points who were passed along to the steering committee who made this final proposal map decision. project timeline. we've been working for the past year on this project and we are currently in the far right zone where it shows december to march, the 90-day public comment period where it shows the proposed action on the table. some of the objectives considered

throughout this project were to achieve greater work load parody among the officers throughout the city to minimize response times for calls for service and incidents. to preserve the integrity of the neighborhood and other natural boundaries and operational conditions within the district and provide more logical alignment with districts where possible and to create facility constraepts -- constraints in the short-term. what you see here is all the data variables that is considered. you see on the top left a mention of kad and able. that is important because that is two of the key data sets that we have that we consider throughout the working group and passing along the option to the steering committee. the selection process as we mentioned focus

groups proposed many multiple line changes throughout the city. the consultant then came up with a preliminary map which they had combined some of the line changes that made the most sense given the variables and construct from the driver's and the work edited with many of those maps to come up with a group of final recommendations which was passed along to the steering committee to get us here today. the final piece i'm going to add today. this is the proposed map in front of you. this is released the consultant's reports which underlies all the maps and changes within the maps. there is one on the controllers website and you can look through it. we also have these little cards that you can take with you. you can find it on our website and it list

exactly the website address to locate the report. with that said, i would like to thank everyone for their attention and pass it along to the commission. >> okay, any questions, referred that presentation to other meetings. any questions for the consultant now? okay. >> so commissioner dejesus has pointed that we would like to hear your questions. i will reserve the commission's right to ask questions. first i would like to move to public comment. city clerk: public comment. the public is welcome to address the commission within the subject matters jurisdiction of the commission. speakers shall address their remarks to the commission as a whole and not the individual commissioners, or personnel. under the police commission rules of order during public comment,

police nor commissioners will be required to respond to questions to the public but can provide a response. personnel should refrain from entering into any debates or discussions with speakers under public comment. please limit your comments to 3 minutes. thank you. you can come up to the opposed why you mean -- podium when you are ready. >> hello, my name is steve lindsey. the police department has a big problem in this town, it's me. i lost my incident report card, but last thursday night at stones town i was a little too happy. so the police there decided that i needed to be taken down a bit. i sent to somebody there that i still had something from some other store that i still had in

my hand and had to take it back. apparently that became the basis for the service call. i got the walk and i was screaming. you know what, it's probably all on audio and video. so mr. chief suhr, you can get your officers to get on that now. thank you. so they sat me in the back room, of course for about 20 minutes and in a stress position. it wasn't much of a stress position. they had me stretched out and you know what i have blood thinners. i started with this hematoma. so, i write to joyce hicks

on wednesday february 25th, i don't have the incident report number. you know how the process works, they won't e-mail you your incident report. you have to go in person or request by mail. why is that? they don't want to be scrutinized. you discourage people from before and you see what happens to them. why is it not right to them, the people who get screwed and stepped on to know they can be stepped on. they can click a butt on and say file the office to the citizens of complaints. it's not that easy. of course it's not that easy. except for me, they kind of got the wrong guy. i'm the 50-year-old white guy with a masters degree instead of the black guy with a high school degree. i'm in stones town. so i have been to the emergency room a couple times. i wroo

it to joyce. i say, read the incident report. it will be an embarrassment and i'm planning a major action and i am sure she didn't call susie loftus. my process was to recommend an emergency meeting. get that incident report. city clerk: thank you, sir, your time is up. >> my 3 minutes is up. 3 minutes rules everything. thank you very much. you have a big problem. >> thank you. next speaker? >> hi, everyone. i just have a question, how many people are here from public housing? that's my point. so, i thank you guys for not

taking the officers away. i live in potrero hills. i can only speak for portrero hills. i live in the public housing and i'm always proud to say i live in public housing. when you do this redistricting from what i was seeing, tell me if i'm wrong, there was nobody a normal person like us whether it's black and white or chinese that live in the low income community at the table when you were looking at the redistricting and during these public meetings. i understand that you have to do this every 10 years. the second thing is that nobody will in portrero hills, nobody knew about the redistricting. if you have to do this every 10 years, then this is something that needs to be changed. i'm going to tell you why. an incident just happened today where a young

lady very upset hit an sister and pulled out a knife. she's still alive. you know why? because the officers from the community know the community. he's one of the officers designated in portrero hill. he was able to knock her out, but at the same time he didn't shoot her. but to make it even better is that it wasn't no big incident accident where everybody could have been really bad, but because everybody knew officer thompson, it went in a different direction. this is the reason why it's important for the officers to get out into the community and get to know people in the community. then the other thing is, i know somebody is going to be hell mad when i say this. tasers. i understand this was brought up 4 years ago and these groups said it was a bright idea for officers not having tasers.

but 4 years later if you look at the officer involved shootings where if they had tasers it could have went another way. if you get tased, you have a 98 percent chance of living. maybe one of those 2 percent because they have a heart problem or pacemaker might die. but if you get shot, you have a 98 percent or 99 percent chance of actually dying. i think we might want the lesser of two evils. that's what i call it. i think it needs to be brought back to the table of the san francisco officers having tasers so they have that other option of being able to use their tasers as well as their collapsible billy clubs. i think that needs to be brought back to the table because now you have a lesser of the two evils. that's my 3 minutes. thank you.

>> commissioner, chief, captain, i'm with the neighborhoods association. i have two comments from the bayview station that have been drawn first. i completely support the moving of the eastern most border between the southern station and bayview station down to mariposa street to 16th street and consolidating ucsf to a single district. the second issue deals with the west portion of potrero hills. the area bounding between 16th street portrero and highway 101. right now it serves between the bayview and mission district. 101 that area highways a lot of problems under the freeway and with cal trans. right now when we

make calls, people call the other side from bayview and from mission and they see as a benefit for general coordination. it hasn't worked as well as we would like. we kind of like that area to the part of the bayview station. that area gets represented by potrero hill. i live in that area. it's portrero hill in every way except for who polices it. it should be brought together. we polleds -- polled people in the area. everyone says they would rather be in the m igs district that they love. now that we have the at some point to consolidate all of potrero hill in the district. we should. thank you. >> did you submit any of

these in writing to us, sir so i know my notes. thank you. next speaker? >> thank you very much. thank you my name is andrew king. i grew up here in san francisco, born and raised. i work for the city and county for years and i was able to retire and i was blessed to buy some property here in the city. but it was some things that i want to truly share about my area, but there is something that is more important. my heart is still aching right now. someone who i love and cared for son was murdered. there has been so many unsolved homicides in san francisco especially with african americans. something needs to be done. i'm not

saying the police department is not doing their job, the inspectors are not doing their job. but the fbi must be involved. something is wrong when i'm afraid my son may lose his life if he's going to work and his life be taken out and we are so fast to say that it's gang related. we honestly, this is a state of emergency. okay, we truly need help right now. i know they are close to someone, who i love and care for. to see her cry and pain and work for all of this community. her life will never be the same, my life will never been the same. it is a tragedy. something truly needs to be done. i respect joe marshall.

he's done a lot in this community. this is my first time speaking. something needs to be done because i'm always concerned about my son who can be minding his own business and someone can take his life and there is so many unsolved homicides. it not right. somebody is not doing a job. somebody is dropping a ball or truly we need the fbi, the feds to come in and find out who is killing our children. who is killing our kids? this young man was on his lunch break. okay? he wasn't hanging out. he wasn't selling drugs. he was on his lunch break and he lost his life. whether he got in the car with the wrong people. he didn't deserve that. my heart

is aching right now. it's aching so bad. so i just hope and pray that i know we have a good chief here, okay. i know we have one. he used to be in bayview. please, we need help. okay. thank you very much for your time. >> thank you. thanks for taking the time to come down. next speaker? >> my name is colette brown. i lost my son to homicide. when he talks about unsolved homicides these are young men that their case is not solved. i carry this with me all the time. i say this because my son's case is unsolved.
