8:01 am
is really important for the buy in that the internal affairs is not involved with the unit we need to have the officers confront with the things on their side. >> i understand i mean from a i understand that the investigators california, not involved but from a privacy prospective i'd like rather not. >> their tracking inlands and milestones and things like that and following up and i have talked to them about i don't get into the specifics but talked to them about follow-up with folks and that detract that. >> commissioner melara that is our work this commission has mandated through the department we realize we've learned through
8:02 am
oppression for example p d doesn't kick into for 90 days on watch for the initial period that's been monitored the commission asked for that. >> commissioner the od other thing dealing with the cloud the more education it is what the process is by having a fixed process and the blue process carved that was prepared by roll call train a bio monthly class two day class for officers by demise first degree macro them you understand there is what will happen it is not a good or bad it is just this is what is going to do happen and try to minimize that cloud
8:03 am
thank you, sergeant please call line item 3 b arrest the occ director's report and discussion of recent activity. >> direct examination and chief suhr and members of the public last week the attended mayor ed lee press conference on the fund of pedestrian safety initiative to provide beams for the police department and additional academy plaza classes will also grant occ additional positions if approved by points board of supervisors for the 2015-2016 budget the occ will have 0.255 position one journey investigator and one attorney and one information technology
8:04 am
technician assistant a 2 position to increase an attorney port commission to full fully funded position i appreciate the mayors approving the occs request as well as the budget director kate howard for understanding the occs staffing challenge i'd like to thank commissioner president loftus and the police commission for helping to move the request forward and lecture i was advised by the budget office that the occ could fill one of the vacant investigator positions the occ has been struggle with the $300,000 debt adjustment and attraction fork that prevents it from hire a
8:05 am
fourth position, however, due to long term vacancies on the staff vacancies but not vacating positions the budget office determines that that will be save and hire investigator number 16 and finally last week deputy director either and i began working with the department of human resources for the job applications for the vacant senior investigator when eir promoted eir got promoted two years ago i think that the human resources director mickey callahan for previewing that and going backwards i testified
8:06 am
before the board of supervisors budget committee which is a decree of public safety departments the police department and the fire department as well as the department of emergency management it more of a policy type of hamburger that is the first time occ has been invitation i explained the constraint the appendixes was operating under he very large case codes they've received american people overwhelm from the deputy director one of our investigators has a caseload of 36 cases trying to redistribute those cases it is a crisis of
8:07 am
best practices is 16 cases per investigator i was able to describe to the committee what the occ does and the statistics last year and finally next week i'll present several reports including the 2015 additional report that concludes my presentation. remark for this evening congratulation drikdz we've been trying to motivate on the to a decree so thank you. >> i left out one thank you. i want to thank chief suhr for his remarks at the press quencher of the occs need for additional
8:08 am
fund so thank you. >> commissioner hwang. >> i have a couple of questions this additional budget process as the mayors described is that sufficient are is there a second add back are you looking to bring the caseload down to it becomes of 016 commissioner hwang another that want the occ is not asking for additional fund that's an excellent question because with those 4.25 additional positions it takes the occ up to 39 positions but not able to fulfill those because it continues it means that you know again about $300,000 is 13wub9d out of our budget i believe that
8:09 am
if we do things in an increment this year received those are positions the following year asked for additional positions should the caseload not be going down sufficiently we'll be in a better way than we've been for some years the other tinge that could happen with the use of on body cameras the containments can be going down what is has occurred in other jurisdictions i don't know whether it will occur in san francisco so and then there are some other there will be other chanldz we'll have to deal with in terms ofhere the
8:10 am
additional staffing we're certainly can accommodate the added staffing with this budget and, of course, there are this budget edition and, of course, other factors wore to have to look at in terms of training fund and send those types of things but i'm satisfied and i believe that with this arithmetic we are going to be in much, much better shape we'll be back (laughter). >> i'm sure the members of the commission will be going to help if we can help add back money the second question you and i were at the juris justice submit an issue that anecdotal there are folks that feel like the occ didn't work they don't hear back after the complaints are filed
8:11 am
it is the long process that the occ does in terms of investigation i'm wondering if there's a process or additional funds with a relations over but something to report back to the folks with the status of their information that is anecdotal the complaints. >> commissioner hwang. >> my hands are tied in responding to particular- commenting on cases we've investigated and i can say that in fact, one of the people that commented i've spoken p to that person that morning so i respectfully disagree with that
8:12 am
comment, however, you make american people excellent point next week we're going to release the results they're a little bit old but the result from the intuitively to2011 to 2013 to officers and complainant the reign why it has taken us to long we don't have a statustion on our staff or anyone that can prepare the report, however, an investigator had background there's antidotes and responses about people needing to hear back and dotting balthazar and i agree there are things to be put in place letters that maybe go out every
8:13 am
couple of months we're still investigating your complaint then again it didn't satisfy everyone and it can take us a longer than the suggested 9 months to complete the investigation but i do think that there's always room for improvement to at least people are told at the begin of the interview process it could take up to a year but people are anxious and i think there are things we could put in place short of hiring another person that's at a responsibility for an investigator the investigators do, in fact communicate with
8:14 am
complainant i review their work summaries but guarantee again more periodic contact thank you. >> any questions for the director. >> thank you. please call the next line item. >> the commission reports and discussion president's report. >> i have nothing to report. >> a couple if i could i attended a presentation by lieutenant jack heart on blue encourage an interesting presentation about the breakdown of the cynicism i understand he trains at the academy and his suggestion have the officers come back from time to time to break down the u.s. versus them i know as a former da you'll meet the officers that are generated and could benefit from
8:15 am
that kind of reintroduction to the ability of policing. >> yes. it is an ongoing training and it is again one of the dimensions in the president 21st century task force we have dr. martin come back every january or february to speak is to the officers to encourage that the less the more - what's as the word i want to say dr. gil martin is to speak to the police officer suicides when people goat to that blue encourage to see when folks behavior is starting to change and more reclusive but the overlap of the train and direct examination and i attended the
8:16 am
submit that was interesting it was widely recorded in the media i know we tried to roll out the statistics one thought would need to have prepares when we are introduce it have an outdoor expert come in and talk about the social metrological or something i know it seemed like it wasn't enough to give raw numbers. >> i object to talk to you off-line. >> an interesting presentation from a trainer michael i've talked with him will the boys and the department was well-represented by the commander tony chapman that spoke yesterday the entire rank of captain and took the train direct examination and i took
