get us 50 additional officers on the streets before the f l experience is in february of next year we'll have using less over time we'll have a hundred additional officers as we head into the apparently election year that bring a certain b amount of officers on what this allows us to do pretty much gives all the members of this body what they need more beat and bicycle officers and better community engagement especially with our young people fully staff the staffing community towards vision zero and decade officers to task force go option like burglars and robberies that are

on the rise in san francisco an additional staffing to special victims and elderly abuse and staff up our fraud unit with the electronic because it should be in 2015-2016 in demonstrates scott wiener we have been doing the best we can to hold the line in 2012 we bargained with the po a so get the officers on front control to a work schedule they shouldn't have been off on to a 8 hour day from a 10 hour a day and civilians went back to the 8 hour day in a specific unit that required specialized training like motorbike and the 9 the day

used for the training this got us 16 days additional patrol or equivalent to 56 ftes back to the street that's an academy class plus 15 i'm sure you're aware of this year we're in the middle of developing a policy proposal to make the police commission working with other stakeholders in hopes of equipping 18 officers that are all the officers on the streets of san francisco that will have contact with the public with body cameras this covers the cost and in subsequent years the budget includes civilian positions to support the workload and the body camera 3 in legal to figure out how to comply with records

requests and 6 in the body camera unit to make sure their functioning also in the budget for citations those enable the police officers not to handwrite moving violations and also put certificate of roles e releases into the phone with a blue tooth printer in the trunk of police cars this full auctions outline vehicle stop data as well as locates in realtime into the warehouse for best planning as to reduce traffic collisions or a be readily available should anyone want to have a look regards to who we're stopping

and where and we'll be able to respond to why initial projects are a camera upgrade to the stations that are in disrepair a management system for better dna tracking i'm sure you're aware of we've cleared our backlog of the sexual assault kits in december using a current contract for out is ours clearing the remainder of the backlog no dna backlog for sexual assault kits few stations in the country can say that this tracking system keeps you guess there and to the crime warehouse and vehicles for upgrades we'll order the new cars and the mode united nations wyoming come with the cars

i like to mention we much appreciate our new police headquarters the first easter bond 4 hundred and 20 million dollars 4 hundred plus built the campus r compass including the fire station it is lights out is a spectacular facility we looking at look forward to the easter bond in 2014 to roam and upgrade of the district stations we look forward to hearing from mr. rose that actually end my presentation and chief thanks for your presentation question around the hiring plan i was

there is dialog between supervisor wiener and on the right number do we need to look at that number and for the record i support that discussion and building we need to look at that and deferring lick in our duty and everything including your personnel as our growth is the hiring plan basically goes to a kind of urban even state of two classes a year if i'm reading that right at some point two classes a year will keep them to the staffing levels pending increases in that number. >> retirements between 60 and 90 offers a year and accelerated retirement like drop sundown it is the drop is over with we're not anticipating going over that 60 to 90 offers a year so the

cadets will help us. >> thanks. >> supervisor breed. >> thank you, chief i had a couple of questions i know that you mentioned in our presentation the body cameras and your plan for developing the policy for how that data is used can you provide a little bit more information on who is a part of a group to establish how the data and information from the body cameras will be used. >> so right now we have a working group for a fact they've met for the berserk time a base policy that was drawn up primarily from model policies from the aclu and boomers tool kit the group consists of

representatives from the police departments the occ and bar association and the human rights commission and ac luxury. >> and citizen representative there are other people from the mr. johnson their public so everybody can be heard in public comment and or submit notes for considerations once they arrive at the at policy and dissenting opinions in the proposal none of it is binding and the commission will speak to when the cameras are on and off and retired retention who gets to view it can when and the like so it will be a comprehensive policy made up and at a later date by the commission to suit san francisco. >> okay. thank you.

>> the other question i had for you was about transporting individuals that are arrested. >> sure. >> i know there is a conversation in regards to who is transporting and the cost the request for $1.2 million to support of sheriff's department ability to transport individuals who are arrested from various locations throughout the city and i just want to get an understanding of what is happening with your department and why is your department transporting deteens it's my understanding the history and why are officers that is one thing when the officer arrests an individual and takes them to a station another thing to

transport whether from san francisco general hospital are individuals are being moved i don't understand why the police department are taking police officers off the streets in order to transport individual when it was mined that it was a function of the sheriff's department and i'm not certain why there is additional revenue need for that purpose. >> sure so we used to do it up to 19 did 729 position or position. >> how many. >> 29 bummed to 34 in 2003 but flungsz in the jail population the function was returned to us from 2003 to - >> can you explain that the function was returned to you when there are positions that are fund and i'll ask the

sheriff the same question but positions for the purposes of transport how does that happen when this is now the responsibility of the police department. >> i just know the history how to camp and went. >> all right. >> i milk there were budget issues and jail population and staffing issues it went back to the sheriff's department after from 2003 to 2006 we did it again and went back to the sheriff's department from 2006 to 2008 and the unit was disbanded to provide a mid year savings of $400,000 the jail populations was in excess of 2 thousand so the determination was made at the time by the sheriff they needed did staffing in the jails we took it back

over the sheriff and i had conversation i believe last year or the year before about the sheriff's taking it over the sheriff said you no idea a budget i didn't have it they were going to do two stations we do it wasn't twenty-four hours a day day or holidays in from the program came back twenty-four hour 365 we got help really at the hospital we needed help sometimes, we get folks that are actually injured and might have an infection or illness we might medically clear someone and put them in jail or have a psychological problem back to the hospital if a person is injured and my mind we might

have to sit on it for two days if so is a charging decision we'll sit on in them because of the jail that hadn't been opened for a a long time if this program came back and involved the sheriff sitting on prisons not limited to to the hospital and the police officers have to sit there that will free up the officers. >> has our department received additional funding for transport of prisons. >> when with we first had this conversation i saw the jail population was half what it was when this thing went away i know the sheriff's department staff is less than it was at a time too. >> for clarity i don't know if this is a question for you who's responsibility to transport

prisons once the department has arrested and taking them to the station to is the responsible is it the police department or the sheriff's department. >> it is our responsibility until someone else arrivals us of the responsibility in the past we would have the prison like at the hospital until a doctor decided the person was not limited to we'll let the sheriff's department know they'll relieve us he and we'll take the person's property down to the county jail basically in you have the person you're responsible for the safety until your rivals. >> explain why the police officers are sitting with prisons at san francisco general

they're in our custody as if we can get them cleared and booked into county jail. >> you've not released them at this point. >> not until wore relieved by the sheriff's department or the doctor says they're okay to debook then we book them. >> how are you able to transition how is that possible to be able to transition that individual if they've not necessarily been booked how can you transfer the booking one the comments it will be better if we had the ability to allow the sheriff deputies to serve and wait for the prison at san francisco general hospital all these basically the person stays

at the hospital and the sheriff's stay with the prison at the jail ward it not open there are dba issues we take the prison not prison they stay at the time at the hospital and book them in administratively at the jail it says they're at the hospital. >> okay. >> okay thank you. >> supervisor yee. >> thanks for the presentation chief suhr i'm really have appreciated our departments and the work around vision zero and so the question i have would be pertaining to the pedestrian safety as you ramp up our staffingship in terms of staffing the traffic company and
