safety building our police headquarters in san francisco over the past month i've had the privilege with each of the supervisors of going through budget meetings and in many of the district we have one more to to complete all of them it is consistent that public safety is on the minds of many of our citizenry in san francisco today, i'm joined by the police chief and staff and suzy love tuesday our office of complaints joyce is here as well and also by the board president london breed and several members of the board of supervisors that are academy with our public safety and, of course our human

resources director as well budget season is with us and as we've gone around the different district of city not having implemented all of them but clear a resounding message that safety will be also a great foundation for any city that wants to be successful and make sure that while we've had those meetings concerning public safety issues of trust has been part of the conversation and issues of integration and clearly the issues that the chief as announced with respect to cultural and incidents across the country where lives have been lost and that conversation has been a part of the public

safety discussion in san francisco we enjoy relatively a compared to many other cities a high-level of safety that's due to the commitment of the chief and officers on a day to day basis we can always do better feel we can do better with officers prompting 21st century policies and procedures and using item to our vandal and making sure we continue on a day to day basis earning the trust of the residents shortly before, after, i took office almost 3 and a half years ago i launched a program called predict interrupt predict and authorize it was an effort to really stem the tide of violation in the city to make sure we talked with our youth

have a an alternate and use data to predict where we might know incidents occur and interrupt that behavior and work with the community to organize better alternatives to violence and to some degree we've succeeded we've developed expensive services for victims of street and family violence and made sure that jobs and job train go forward in an aggressive way and continue a minimum of 7 though jobs automated at the youth everyday and conceding in that we also at the suggestion of our youth reinstituted a cadet program our officers are existed but and recruits and law enforcement right from the community that directly repeals

the exit of our city today, i'm here with our explosive your commission your board members and president and ocii to announce more resources for passive which include increasing the funding for civilian oversight no our ocii and additional training of officers and an additional hundred more police officers on top of the hundred and 50 we already announced for a totaled of 2 heed and 50 additional police officers that will be graduating from 5 police academy classes during the fiscal year of 2015-2016 this those classes will in fact accelerate our goal to getting to our city's charter mandatory

trust and transparency and accountabilities with our residents i believe and so does the commission the beamers will keep our public save and police officers everyday body cameras have not the solution they'll help but not the only solutions we need to strengthen it community trust in a number of ways we'll also need to insure that people's privacy is replaced that not only police officers but the community themselves will feel comfortable with how technology is being used and rolled out that's why i'll announcing today a working group made up 6 our pollens union, our office of complaints and members of the alu invited to join the workshop

to report back to the planning commission on the proprietors portfolio for the use of the body cameras and other technologies that help us there our transparent and accountability i know that those efforts all of them put together insure our residents a more safety community investment and allow our officers to embrace 21st century tools we need to use marshall of the alleged tools for the opening statement will allow them to do more civilian oversight of the police department and identify the kinds of train that needs to happen with our officers on the street together all of those efforts coupled with working with our residents our community policing on more beat patrols identifying the ores eras that come to every one of our

district meeting will be replaced in the way we really this out and the way we continue to implement the ideas that come tlotsd district meeting with that welcome the chief and explain how we're going to roll out and implement chief suhr. >> i want to thank the mayor obviously the same budget reflect our priority and public safety and publics trust and this is near the top the priority to that end to have those stwra two academy classes and staffing by may 2015 to an accelerated plan that was approved by the board of supervisors we deeply appreciate we'll get to done cops count a neighborhood in san francisco

that didn't want the beat officers back and see more officers on bikes it is much better to prevent the crime and work with the neighborhood ward to the body cameras beamers offering president obama policing presented it's report they spoke to the fact in their technology and social media what braemz go duo for police officers and the community the reduction of a study recorded that the complaints go down almost 60 period of time when beamers are in place that president report the next president of the united states under the clinton yesterday recommended that all sorry that was objective

laughter it all police officers in the united states should wear cameras it's a win-win situation that protects good people on both sides officers know they're wearing them their behavior is going to be better and telling the accepts they're on camera the citizens about on behalf of better all but way around better for a police citizen interaction to the end the delta we'll have to arrive another a policy that has folks if the alu report and the senior policy analysis cameras to be a win-win helping to protect the public and at the same time protecting the police officer against false acquisition we are a privacy agency we'll work with the

stakeholder and bring them to the table as quickly as possible to get the cameras on the officers to work on the trust that's been dates, times, and places over the recent months in the community in san francisco and in addition to add that to the ocii obviously we're answerable to the city of san francisco and we want our officers to be as i say just so we work cooperating with the ocii and folks with the additional officers keep that in mind open coming down and the additions information from the academy it is appropriate point ocii staffed up what is more work we want those investigations to be appropriate as well 0 so we have other speakers that want to be heard we couldn't get this downey done

those kind of incidents happen and challenges to situation we have to kind of technology that can help us address those cases better i'm hopefully as a result of the cameras some of the iptsz that the chief mentions that were in the reports the amount of complaints about go down and tool of many we hope to use in the sfoifksz public trust is important and those cameras go a step in the right direction of restoring public trust and make sure that the citizens know if not only are we doing everything we can to increase the number of police officers in our department but add members of the community to the depth to make sure that the accountability is at the forefront i'm looking forward to the support of the from hopefully, the board will support this in the upcoming budget to get in moving and in

justice testimony here in san francisco we're talking about today about cameras but other patterns that are at the table in discussion how we can strengthen our justice system to be fair and just for everyone that is the doves and the public defender and the law enforcement such the sheriff's department it is also critical that we arm the folks with the tools this year need that includes insuring that joyce hillary clinton the director of the office of complaints has the tools she need to investigate and prosecute those who are doing wrong i want to applaud and show any support to the men and women that serve san francisco by also want to give voice to the need we need to recruit and retain and promote diversity within our
