1:00 am
suspect or an you think intended discharge it relates no injury or death that occurs when this occurs in san francisco in the city and county of san francisco it will be investigated by san francisco's homicide daily and the officer and the district attorney will conduct a parallel investigation administratively the first investigation a by san francisco police departments internal affairs grigs i division the ocii will be no evidence of the investigation the discharge is a little bit different maybe an intelligent use of a firearm but - with a dangerous or wounded animal or an authorized use of a firearm to signal assistance we when no other means exists that are an unintended discharge that
1:01 am
didn't result in death or serious bold injury and the investigation in that will be handled by the appropriate investigative body typically the station sit team and the administrative investigation will be basically done at the captains level. >> can you explain the site team station investigation team the station based investigators that basically, the general lettuce and handle a range of cases so a dog something involving a dog probably may involve an incident that d b will investigate but whatever the appropriate investigative unit they'll handle the criminal investigation definitions were changed no not
1:02 am
and prior to 2009 an intended use of firearm were there was no strike with a person was not hit no death or injury result from the discharge the death from the use of a firearm that was investigators a dishow far this is more in line with the best practices and i think that is a better policy just want to point out those are the officer involved shootings are low frequency their high-risk but low frequency event this is analyzing data i was able to get from 2005 to 2013 inclusive the total years the department handled 10 millions plus calls for services of .2 high priority and 6.27
1:03 am
were misdemeanors and i use that number i looked at that number for me a number of how many contacted that the public has with folks in the course of the business and in the same amount of time the department had 71 suspect involved cases and that was .02887 of the arrests looking at it compared to the smallest number 4.1102 priority calls and .0068 of the total service this traltsd to less than 7 alliances for calls. >> can i go back when you - did
1:04 am
our- is it 2.3 percent of calls for service relatives in any type of oar over the 2006 2013 period. >> total calls for service. >> everything. >> so it is. >> all calls for service 2 percent of the time people get arrested. >> 2 hundred and 7 up thousand folks were misdemeanor or felon arrests that's where i get the number. >> so the temple thousand has nothing to do with with the percentage. >> the 10 millions. >> off oh,ize was using 10 millions to get a range of contact so every time an officer is engaged in apple activity you'll get a call for service this is on use and response
1:05 am
calls and includes the proposals and foot beat or a things like that so anything that is register in cap that's the number using thirty this number depreciates a sense of identifiable the number of contact but to get a number for the number of contacts that's what you use. >> i understand this is interesting 2.3 percent either result in a county oar that's although the officers are doing love other stupefy than arresting people. >> as much we hear and understand ably this is a small percentage and again, a very low frequency event i think this is the kind of thing that pops out. >> keep going thank you.
1:06 am
>> so i want to get into how things start role with the ois investigation a notification of mobilization happens as long as the radio bum and the officer reports shots fired d m department of emergency management their identified the dispatches and the officers respond and our department operation receives the phone call and monitor the radio once that word is out they begin this notification process they have a large list binder figures ♪ binder i brought to the presentation this is a binder for difficulties under circumstances and officer involved shootings a - it is a to page list of folks they call
1:07 am
for ois and mobilize the scene to insure the safety of all folks they identify and collect evidences and follow-up on the immediate investigative leads this is preserved by the initial responder and control will be turned over to the homicide investigator what wear emphasis in n this presentation an organization i s involve a san francisco police officer we'll get into the jurisdiction for the chronicle investigation in san francisco for on office involved shooting is a homicide unit if an officer from an outdoor agency like park view our
1:08 am

1:10 am
liaison provides information and helps them inform navigate through the bureaucracy and gifts them a police commissioners commissioner resolution i know that is no 2007 a as i said once those things happen to occurring investigations the chronicle investigation and there's an mosaic active investigation criminal investigation is focused only whether a crime was contempt by any of the parties involved in the incident i talk about the jurisdiction all before it is whatever the law enforcement agency is responsibly for the place of the crime you'll have jurisdiction mosaic active or personnel investigation is focused more on policies did the officer fire his or her weapon and that investigation whether locate go tactics and train and policy
1:11 am
jurisdiction is law enforcement agency that employees the officer that explains how you can have the san mateo county law enforcement or the san francisco law enforcement working on the same case before we get go the two investigations we're talking about the process i want to what happens at the scene at the first 10 days what happened then to the officers initially i want to talk about the immediate handing of the officer at the scene inspection could you hand out the cards so inspector monroe gave you a card there were two cards i
1:12 am
wasn't able to get the larger card but you voluntary the copy of it and have the smaller card the i'll explain them the smaller card is a card that was devised to help officers get the initial scene process so it is intended for supervisor to ask the appropriate questions in an officers involved shooting to make sure they get an information the emergency information and to protect the scene and preserve evidence to fully investigate the ois larger card is a card developed by the behavorial science sheet given out to officers involved in a shooting and kind of overviews the process and gives them contact information tluchldz what to spent in the
1:13 am
first 10 days and talks about the physical things they may experience we help them process through that. >> so in the immediate scene that notification went out the radio people are ronald and lock it down the first priority to render the scene save so whatever the immediate threat get that taken care of and then it's an matter that the next area is assessing the officer sometimes an officer maybe injured and not aware that happens frequently and the officer will be separated so the c s organization is render save and the first aid and very often the
1:14 am
officer is injured we found that out and then the officer is separated the involved officer is separated and monitored you have the safety blue card it is objected from the officer from san francisco from 544 skiendz and the crime scene is secured in anticipation of the homicide daily the officer is transported to american people sfpd facility that's assume the officer that didn't need medical attention here are council and pa are all notified if the officers drivers a chaplain other comfortable are made available the officer is encouraged to phone his spouse or loved one their remind noted
1:15 am
to discuss the incident and the officer we have to make sure the officer was photographed at the time of the incident you'll see that in the presentations that is incredible ideally we have your photo lab do it and sometimes an outdoor agency but so the officer can 88 shall i there's fluids on the you remember the staff will see the weapon and it is sent to the lab for testing and analysis we're not going to take the officers firearm without replacing the officers affirm investigation process you have that copy of the card there and it is explained to the
1:16 am
officer the pa and the officers attorney and the they'll all explain and the i a investigator we know that the officer is not registered with the information they're very they've been through a deadly encounter and work through emotional stuff but we continue to tell them it is sort demise fizz the process of the unknown investigation and then the officer will meet with an attorney prior to a interview with the criminal on the matter so in the first 10 days a in his normal you've heard it the officer is on administrative leave and technically the officer is reassigned during
1:17 am
that period of time the officer please let us a number of follows up that may include doctors visits or follow-up in that regard but some of the things very have to complete their chronicle interview and complete their discharge debriefly and return to duty panel will determine if they're able to go back to their regularly assignment the office may have other appointments or related issues they have to take care of debroefgz so the officer goes through 3 debriefs angle a su and debrief and that debriefly is an orientation for the about the physiological effects what
1:18 am
they maybe feeling emotional and post trauma stress is a normal outcome or consequence post trama stress disorder is different an on onset of that so there are informed about not only the issues that they may encounter or work through they're helping to normalize those but also told about the resources in the san francisco police department has a lot of great mental health benefits the range and modified debelief is putting the officers been the horse before you before they refinery to duty and given a firearm and they go to the range and fire that firearm the fourth
1:19 am
option the debelief insures the officer retains the ability to have the no shooting scenario and work through that. >> as i mentioned after 5 business days the return to diet penal condolences and the purpose is to examine whether it's appropriate for the involved member to return to duty and what the panel is considering are there issues or indicators that preinclude the officer based on the preliminary investigation the debriefs are there any indicator that will preinclude the officer from return to the regularly duty at this time the investigative finding have presented by investigators to provide background and context there are a closely closed
1:20 am

1:21 am
then the officer will not return in the office involved is going to be returned to his or her regular assignment they'll not return until the chiefs had the opportunity to present his decision and the reasons to the police commission. >> okay. can i ask a question. >> sure. >> maybe that will come up later since this is beyond the 10 days what often comes up we've referred to does the policy realize the names could you clarify that what the policies are and around that. >> the roles of names the courts have weighed in on it and the officers names will be realized workplace 10 days subject to a investigation it is
1:22 am
the pier requests under the department involved can establish that there's some reap not to it takes a credible threat to for that to happen we've had a recent curbed by a judge a request from the judge. >> to that end all names an officer involved shootings since i've been chief have all been realized there was a delay in the al happened there was a credible throwing out thereat those those names were released. >> and the officers were returned to duty. >> and a leg decision in san diego. >> that wasn't that way easement. >> right. >> thank you >> so again to the different investigations i've mentioned go notifications two
1:23 am
investigations begin talk first about the chronicle investigation and look at the administrator personal investigation as i said this investigation is to determine what transpired was there involved party that committed a crime the burden of proof is probable cause so that is for a lot of number one law enforcement that maybe paying attention and the probable cause is superstition that a crime has been crimped and the person arrested was involved in that crime and again in the sfoifkts homicide detail outside of the city and county it is whatever agency responsible and third party we'll talk about that the california department of justice with twice has reviewed cases that was in 2010 and 11
