1 people out of the park and into a facility i wanted to introduce you to not only the artists but someplace that works on hate street i'll introduce you to officer the officer is not just any officer she has a bachelor's degree in princeton in erect metrological and master's degree in fine art from the sf art constitute and she's a instructor she's very passionate i want you to kind of experience she's going to quickly talk and give her prospective on what drives those things and talk about the ken wing did a piece on her at the

end of last year and followed hearing her on a beat a really positive story. >> hello, i'm officer and i'm one of the officers out of the station primarily my assignment is the hate street foot patrol my partner and i were both crisis intestinal team members within the department and part of that we apply a lot of the tucks we learn over the course to improve our engagement as was mentioned when the captain first asked me to introduce myself

that does will i operated outside of what i thought i didn't have a report open my life meanwhile, however something awful and heartbreaking happened on my street that changed my

prevention forever this happened quite a few of the years ago this tourist and he was visiting san francisco and he was just here for a couple of weeks he was walking up the street one night not that late and he was a victim 6 a robber that occurred in front of of my apartment building even though 33 he gave his wallet to the folks they still decided to shoot him point blank and murder him in cold blood to day i still think about how that must have been for his family and for people to live without him i didn't witness the the event or know the victim, however, i

felt that you know it really was made clear to me at that time, how we're all in this crazy life together we don't have that much control over things but at the same time you know in the blink of an ice a sense act of violence devastates lives you know move through community and change them forever so it was extremely powerful and profound to me on outsider not an officer but the police department were able to follow up on who the actual suspect was that killed him and they were able to make an arrest this leads to a conviction so for me at this junkur this

was a catalyst for me because a i obviously san francisco police department was not able to bring the victim bargaining back to life but it was incredibly value to restore the acceptance of justice from the incident and help to create a safety net in the neighborhood that is so important to montana in this room we all haven't to feel safe in our community while the victim i speak was only representative of thousands of people that experienced this have been victims of crime for me it was a personal turning point where i decided to become a police officer at that point i think in some ways i also kind

of changed my opinions about what police officers do it's made up of 0r7d men and women who are gou going out every single day with one goal to intervention in problematic situation and maybe the situation to make it better so i feel that the spirit of the police the essence to move the side to problem solving i have a great amount of respect for crisis intervention and a lot of people ask me what's so special and important before the training in some ways the crisis intervention is what police officers do on 0 daily basis they go out every single day and egging mergeism to make

situations better and sometimes i think the chief goal is working in this unionism to go out and help people i was lucky enough to receive what they call crisis intervention training what i really, really enjoy about the program it allows a kind of training environment to hear many different perspectives about entries and learner about mental health issues as well hearing from progressives that work in the mental health field we hear from doctors and associate workers and lawyers and we hear about the detox programs so this crisis intervention course it gives us

opportunity to get the preexisting training and maybe to hear perspectives of people that struggle with mental health and in such a way to empathize participates better ways to deal with people and i'm a big believer in this program as much it ultimately allows us to work in the field to go out and certificate people in a way that people are experiencing problems so our tucks we're on the beat everyday this is something we try to integrate to help the community and the captain spoke excelling lorpt how diverse the needs are in the district and i think this is every time open hate street we know our merchant and

resident who have their needs and concerned but i think hates street because it is so linked to the summer of love and other exciting things hate street is a hushing for tourists there's tons of tour buses coming down the street hundred of people visiting the area i also think this is an important issue associated with the neighborhood that also brings a very significant transient population that integrates into our community so on a daily basis officer capping and myself are out there trying to subcontracting introok and interface with people trying to interpret what their needs and concerned with but also in the really trying to be proton

solveers i enjoy about the training is truly the work on becoming better at what i do i just think that officers have a pretty tough jobs sometimes, we responded we don't have all the information so it is actually crucial that we interpret the events and we operate at american people extremely high-level i'm extremely grateful to having bang given this training with the intervention team at the same time, a bigableer if police officers are given an opportunity to expand their training and knowledge and become for mindful of what they do it only improves their interaction with the community i want to thank you view r very much for letting me speak to you

i'm always available for questions you may have thank you for your time (clapping.) thank you lilly and the neighborhood groups the 10 neighborhood groups in the tenderloin are drill to my success i'm going to close by thashg them the community at large they really do make park station strong and the officers really appreciate their involvement everyday and really that's where i'd like to close is the officers are what make up park station so with that tiled at least have the cat detective program we say a great 50 she's

helped us you out and had a great turnout night out and had intervention with great kids and she's held career discussions and everyday the patrol officers go out there's a lot of officers that helped but with the national barbecueing and engaging with the kids because relieve the solution to a lot of our problems it starts we if we can get to the kids earlier that's where we'll make a difference and the officers realize that and that is all for my presentation so inspecting monroe. >> you're done commissioners

the time with the - it's been terrific having the captain at the street station i'll not hesitate to go on record to support your work i wouldn't want any other district to know this they might give him away so i appreciate him we love that he gets out of his office to have communications with the community and the advisory committee i've only had positive interactions whether he's gone on record with our supervisors office about his support of lighting or whether it is supporting protesting things open hate street things to positional challenges on hate

leave swapping i didn't referred to social media the problem i was to brought to your attention that a lot of the noise that goes on between soviet union's and coming out from the department which maybe part of the problem that soviet union's posts something about an incident or series of incident in complete ignorance and i sit there wondering how i can get official information that is appropriate to go out to the community and respond to people and try to bring a level of understanding in the community by a what san francisco police department has done and is doing about a variety of different types of things for example some years ago we had an unhoused person unable to stay on their meds who

was between paperwork district and terryville district causing a nuisance it was a great deal of work and captain park station and the public defender came up with a solution for this person and got back on their meds and not caused any more problems that was a win-win for all concerned unfortunately on social media the neighborhood goes on and on there was a wave for the people in the neighborhood to get information to suppress the information so - >> thank you, mr. rolling field i agree i'm on the outer side i appreciate your from. >> next speaker. >> commissioners welcome to
