commissioner president report and commissioners report. >> colleagues, we're here for a district meeting we tend to be brief to hear from the members of the public to the chiefs point and director hicks point the recent activities give us a reason to say a few things in particular to president breeds plan i'm to fill in some of the blanket on how the commission will precede with the misconduct awhile other jurisdictions might be struggling how the u how to treat misconduct our process of sovereign oversight from ocii and the police department models that have been shared in the policing reports as a measure to continue to build trust with the community and i

want to be explicit about our process and make it clear that allegations of misconduct are investigated by the department or ocii and depending on the level of discipline can go and be disposed of by the chief are department if it is discipline it will come before you us and it is assigned to one of the people up here so the taking of evidence the departments lawyer puts forgot evidence of the guilt of the police officer that entire record of the hearing is read by all the commissioners and it deliberates open the guilt and penalties of the officer for those reasons you will not hear any of my fellow commissioners nor administrative review speak about our thoughts

on the specifics allegations of officer misconduct that may come to us this, however, bears repeating we take our role very seriously and hold our officers to the highest of standards san franciscans expect no less of us other role replay is with policies and to president breeds want i have requested the ocii and their policy shop understaffed is something we have to work on in creating policies it is a fact not everybody watches the mr. johnson on wednesday night those are volunteers that have worked to create some of the most aggressive policies the ocii has regarded we've changed how to arrest people and deal with their children not to trauma intents them and we have crisis

evidential we're proud of we need to do a better job of sharing the public and make sure we have the commenting commitment we've had ongoing with the naacp and other groups that is led by sxhurj that does a great job but you'll hear about that many did future i've had a meeting with the aclu we intended the officer involved shooting and going to be scheduling a conversations how we use our firearms discharge review board to make sure there is transparency and we're learning from every instance we have and make sure our officers have what we 2340ed to be safe on the streets so p whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight that's my report it is lengthy

but i felt the moment required it public anything. >> excuse me my voice today but just to amplify what madam chair has said this is a serious allegation, however, we must honor the integrity of the process but i want to say their going to be taken seriously if they reach our level i think you get my drift thank you. >> colleagues anything else inspector call the next item oh. >> commissioner hwang. >> on behalf of the commission i tied up the crisis intestinal tolerates to have a celebrate on the 19 it is at scottish rights center to honor officers in

crisis has employed the technologies 80 tucks to use less violence they're having a little bit of a budget issue i understand some of the chained staff has chipped in for the food i pledged i'll ask the commissioners for the support of the it to come out-of-pocket to help the expenses for the event echoing commissioner president loftus statement to refrain from the comments on discipline i think that rational just and bias in the police officer effects us this afternoon i met with the san francisco did you ever they've released a set to open up a discussion in a

continual meeting to flush out their ideas i meet with the teachers for social just and 38 they released it and i'll have a meeting to quoting e get feedback on more improvement. >> inspector next. >> to the commission announcement and schedule new items identified for future action. >> colleagues anything that needs to be put on the agenda. >> i've been asking for the last year's regarding the media policy and the general order i know the chief understanding it is an issue they issued a department bulletin i rectified overview received it is in order with the draft but in light of the recent events you i've not anticipated those but in

reference to other things across the country i want to get on track to have clarity for the officers and public where the officers needs to know what i appropriate and not whether facebook or texting it is important or 80 portio have clarity they have rights their members of the san francisco police department and can't have disrespect or negative impact for the san francisco police department so we need to get that on track the chief is great but in a form if we can get that moving under the next month or so. >> let's add that another some want anything further we're going to have a discussion with the corrections board. >> next. >> i was going to announce no meeting april 1st the next is at

like to living thank you, president and the commissioners and director hicks and supervisor breed and members of my station chief suhr and others i'd like to thank the members of the community that took the time i see a lot of neighborhood groups representing the community and city attorney's office i'd like to thank brockton elementary school and the principle for allowing us to have the meeting here i'm honored to be the captain of park station it is a very historic district when i chief suhr gave me this job after ray retire over 45 years i was somewhat worried

that's a lot of years but i came to park station the one thing i royals this is a very historic and proud place the artwork i see up here is actually been drawn by our artist and foot beat officer who that works willie and if you look at the artwork on the bottom the tag line that is a the summer of love never ends (laughter) but you know what? all this didn't highlight the rich history of the district and the officers take - they realize when they go out and police this district they do it with respect and with compassion and dedication i have great officers that work every single day to get the interaction and they it

is mind blowing the k i'd like to before i go further i want to thank my staff so i do want to acknowledge them so my myths statement is simple it is basically this is a historic district i want to officers to go out there and enjoy the district and interact with people and want to get out of their car and i want it very informal so what i want if they're getting coffee to walk around the block walker through a park stand there and let people come up to them and talk to them it is the biggest ice breaker i have that many people that point san francisco shake our hand and they want to know

what's going on in the district it is a good way to engage i've told the officers i've done a little bit of formal encouragement i check with bhie sergeant on the areas getting covered and the officers on foot but roll up to them i've been hearing feedback from e-mail this is that happening so it is really important to me the example recently, i got open e-mail from someone a couple of days an officer was walking through the park and out through half half an hour and talked about with the folks that's what i mean just being approachable. >> currently, the park district

as 4 sectors it harassed one foot beat 3 retail districts and about 19 different neighborhoods neighborhood challenges are pretty much across the board traffic, quality of life narcotics are burglars and theft the way i keep a pulse on 24 a lot of social media on twitter i get a lot of feedback from the c factors it is the income tax traffic they'll say this is what's happening this neighbor we saw this and make sure the officers are aware were i also i love working out on the street i absolutely love it i want to be with the fifth grade i watched alzheimer's 12 the first one i

did i found on old mr. star and get them to wax it on a-74 is now my car i go out on proposal and write contribute it gets me a good idea of what is going on in the district i adjust my hours and look at it how it looks at is at night and buena vista park it is critical i have this thing most of faster i have 5 supervisors that work with me i have commissioner eric mar that has part of golden gate park and i like to look at it he has just where the one is and

supervisor norman yee has west of twin peaks and he has most of the different residential district up there by community sutro traffic supervisor mark farrell has a small portion by visiting the two main supervisors i work with and thank you london breed for being here i was up late with supervisor wiener and he's been very busy but supportive and supervisor scott wiener district 8 and london breed district 5 we worked on a regular basis and we communicate open a regular basis and meet in a lot of different community meetings on a regular basis two of the main example district 8 we worked on castro

and down outreach at the triangle i've been to many of the vigils at the triangle and we've done two at the medical center and been super supportive in fact, last night we were in district 5 district 5 i can't count how many times supervisor london breed i like her action and we've worked on eight street and worked with the bulb outs and mta and worked with a lot of the events that are not only co-sponsored but advancing fast and on a daily basis supervisor breed we pretty much keep in contact district as you can see is right in the center of the city and i'm speaking the heart of the

city if i look at it the 3.2 skrielz reconciles is the most progressive it is probably had the biggest impact on culture and music's like people want to come to san francisco not only do we get a flock of tourist but in fact, if you look at history there's a lot of good stuff that's come out of the park district and i really do look at that and it is really important to me 28 schools in the park district i have 5 and one recreational center and one hundred plus thousand people from stein to part of golden gate park and geary and the golden gate park side is the fun part of the park

(laughter). >> it goes to the richmond we also have part of upper market and we would not be park station without the parked so we have 19 parks in our district and all different size we have boss and alamo squares and twin peaks i don't know what park would be called if we didn't have those parks the only thing to come up with inspector monroe what about a groovy station that would be neat i have a foot beat that's cross-trained to work in the parks they're on bisexuals i have a homelessness outreach 40 officers dedicated to that and

albert lake they coffee the panhandle and allotments they know what's going on around the beat and it is a traditional foot beat they go out to each individual merchant and that's something we're working on i work closely with phil ginsburg and chief the honda team and puc of the 7th corridor. >> we do have major events hate street fair 420 not an event (laughter). >> i'm trying to convince captain cherniss to help me out the hates street merchants fair and the festival and the national night out and the
