the program implementation model over the next year if there recent major cost drivers recommended including the video footage have not yet been determined the budget and unfortunate asked to reserve those funds and the budget analyst recommend the following to be placed on refer the gaining program and that's the $3 million less to hire 11 new staff at .2 fte each in reduce the so the bottom line is we believe that the- we believe that the budget & finance committee should be provides water with additional information before those monies are readily. >> i'm supportive of that. >> colleagues if no other questions thank you police department we'll see you back
9:05 pm
9:06 pm
to give context over certain achievements over the last fiscal year as discussed by several supervisors and executive branch we've entered into a pilot between 2015-2016 of the station transfer unit we did not require any additional funds from the police department or the city and due to 0 closure of county jail we redistributed our staff to enable the staff- we have for i know data i've discussed with the supervisors on monday a day to day daily log and people we've trapped and booked on
9:07 pm
behalf of the police department for tenderloin and mission stations because of the upgrade in staffing finally san francisco general hospital we've instituted a field train program unlike in the history of the sheriff's department so our deputies are held account at the same level of fold training for the police department or any deputy sheriff's performing proposal and sheriff's duties because of the upgrade of our staffing at the did you want institutions like laguna honda and san francisco general hospital which is this epic center of our infusion of staff of scorn staff and cadets there's a conspicuous change of the attention on the campus of the assistant we're providing for public safety in the
9:08 pm
internal and the external over the last year we've cross designated our deputy sheriff's program for the first time with the u.s. marshals our deputies are crossing train so they can vast san mateo safety with the fugitives we have the resgri programming new put into place grants for the county organizations that come up with good ideas and are awarded a small pilot grant for about 25 told us to encourage innovation in between our normal rfp process for reentry programming just recently we have been recognized by two institutions we're the winner of the pioneer institute a think continuing to that look at government
9:09 pm
innovation we've be 40r7bd in boston the only law enforcement agency in the united states to be recognized by the pioneer institute for the declining crime and the ability to educate through the high school and other maximums that is the point of the pioneer institutes recognize something you may have heard about we're one of 4 finalists by the kennedy school us and as treasury department two unique departments in the same city we are recognized as innovator we're the only law enforcement agency in the united states to come before the panel of judges our case was made competition is stiff we'll know soon who the winner is we're honored to be one of the 5 finalist to be
9:10 pm
considered we've received a grant for our mentally ill reduction program by the state that is significant of all the under roads we're making and the improvements with our jail populations one of the most vex is the growing mental illness folks that come into our system it is about $950,000 on enhanced equality the first jail system in the united states as told to take on the telecom, the out ravages telecommunication rates we're essentially we fired our phone contractor the dropped the phone rates by over 70 percent we recorded to the supervisors before phone commissions and contracts are unregulated within
9:11 pm
the united states in the prisons and jails many time the prisons and jails that balance their budget on the profit of how phone rates when i came into the office it was time to reduce the rates i think it was unethical one the nurse jail systems for the affordable health care act 70 percent of many urban jail population populations suffer about substance abuse or some disorder this is a challenge on the health care systems within the jail they get top care if our people within the jail but when they leave the system typically that same percentage doesn't have access to health care insurance or the means to health care
9:12 pm
insurance we've instituted a system at the time of booking before discharge we sign up people on ac a within the last couple of weeks i thought wisp the first in california i just learned wore the first county jail system in the united states to reduce our visiting age from 15 to 16 this is radical that 18 is what the minimum standard is for people coming out jail unaccompanied we've lowered to 16 to foster better connections between older children and their incarcerated moms and dads they're trying to increase that. >> next slide, please the way the staffing breaks down is by the pie chart 52 percent of the
9:13 pm
breakdown is signed assigned to the jails and everything attended to the jails 35 percent of the staffing to the field civil operations decision and 10 to the administrative support and 3 percent to alternatives to incarceration i think that 3 percent is not able since our department wore renown if you will and has been for sometime in its innovations and enhancements trying to tackle the high jail alternatives for krarpgs only 3 percent of aggregate budget says something next slide at our high power point 7 or 8 years ago as referenced i think when chief suhr was speaking our jail population at a time when
9:14 pm
another attempt to transfer the units was being conducted and then suspended stopped was when the jail population went to over 22 hundred in 2007, 2030 or so because staffing requirements needed staffing to be the directed back into the custody of positions that's the reason why that transfer unit was ceased seconds wore now at a historical low of our jail population hoover at 12 hundred is why i enclosed a deplorable jail on the 6 floor of the hall of justice and redistrict the population to county jail 4 it needs to be shut down and toward the san bruno fault
9:15 pm
next slide, please. >> we are becoming a county jail system that is the custodians of a more complicated and severe inmates in the dark green bar between 2010 and 2015 when a grouping of our sort of minimum to maximum severe population looks like the dark green bar in 2010 had 7 hundred and 71 of the a maximum clarification ma'am, security highest risk population and 5 years later we haven't dropped far at all to 6 hundred and 88 unlike our memory and anytime security the drops have been significant and so in 2010, the memory security was 9 hundred and 94 and now 3 hundred and85 and now the
9:16 pm
memory 2 hundred and 6 to increase hundred at 83 and the rest unclassified the fact we don't have many programs or alternatives to incarceration programs are robust and our a leader in in this country especially with the redirection of prisons to the 48 county nobody expected the jail population to drop as well as recidivism too but it is converting in to be more k34r5ik9d jail population the next slide helps to explain our behavorial health jail system our mental illness psychiatrist is not god it is dramatically declining a segment
9:17 pm
of the populations are not suffering with severe mental illness i'm concerned about the citywide approach that is occurring that makes our jail the primary default for people that suffer with psychic and imagines mental illness the jails will continue to be the good to institution we're in effected the highest alumni or hospital in the statistic by be looking at the numbers if 20105 thousand 3 hundred plus of what contacted were with the mentally ill proposition and 5 years later unlike the other combrafz we're roger's a down turn on this population we're not seeing the downturn and the units of
9:18 pm
levels of service of contact every 15 minutes we chronicle between our staff small business within our custody is grown by upwards of thirty percent that's a different slide i object to show you. >> excuse me. >> sheriff real quick and sxhepd. >> yes. i have a question regarding the mental health this 5 thousand 6 hundred and 73 number is that many any of those numbers duplicated like for example, someone gets arrested and re-arrested. >> single individual contact some are repeated customers. >> do you know out of that total population whether or not there are also substance abuse
9:19 pm
problems. >> significant significant. >> so what percentage of this number you do you think. >> it is typical that 70 percent of people in our custody suffer from substance abuse and or mental health and i would say a significant portion of this population also survived survives from a substance abuse problem. >> in our ask of the budget summary we really haven't grown at all they have been no ftes that have been awarded in the budget recommendations we think this is a mistake changes though that have occurred as you can see isn't column on the right really reflects the mou labor increases
9:20 pm
that, of course wore obligated to honor and traffic court and hospital security we're upgrading our security systems in light of the police departments move from bryant to the new public safety building that they now occupy wore getting 3 unmarked advancing and bus engine and an overdue ice machine our groith growth we only had one academy class in 5 years and while we're pardoned by the conversation of having a multi year hiring plan for the pardons partners in public safety the sheriff's department didn't benefit from a multi hiring plan the only thing to schedule to bring in now deputies is the academy that is
9:21 pm
underway right now that is only 12 so looking at the next slide this is what it is projecting and contributing to our challenges with over time our department is governed by minimum staffing requirement and with minimum staffing requirement when we don't have the appropriate level of staff because of disability the number under the column of non-net positions hundred and 34 requires us to compensate with over time i think the offer time number is higher it is no whereas high if not for our fiscal year savvy and our staffs savvy in coping the number under the $18.7 million we're looking at the overtime million dollars
9:22 pm
but that can be affiliated from the board of supervisors entertains what we've been push putting us in a multi year hiring plan until that we are properly funded over time and our ability to fill positions that have been essentially vacant we're to be trying to catch up and exceeding our allotments i'm hoping this conversation yields the push we get the sufficient funding that combines over time and attrition next slide, please as you can see 2013-2014 the new hires of
9:23 pm
29 this year 2014-2015 new hiring 29 new sprargz that is point blank we're and why we're at a deficit and that continues compound it's the multi year proposed not accepted yet is on the right side of the 15 academy trained for 2015 25 non-academy trained for that the next year and 10 the following year and 40 non-academy trained and so for the we believe that helps us catch up to a motivations this body is having with the police department. >> next please other areas that we have
9:24 pm
requested but did not make the budget proposal before you is the attrition reduction to fill current vacant positions that amount is one million dollars plus we believe that this is virtual in order to make sure that we are not entrenched in an overtime problem in the future years and able to meet our staffing obligations so this didn't borough itself to a bigger problem to safety next is the backfill post and bs cc training the state board of during the course we're governed by 8 hundred and 93 thousand and the backfill for the mental health and country intervention training we're now the largest institution in san francisco
9:25 pm
that provides the most mental health hospital beds our staff is not getting country interference training but a robust discussion an appropriate one with the board of supervisors and mayor to provide that train to the prosecuted we have sworn police officers and civilian staff the fact they come into contact when people are volatile of what their suffering from any that think that is a miss of this body city hall not to fund the country interference training that makes we wonder why it is neglected i'm hoping that is something we can correct before something really happens i mean grinds to happen later on
9:26 pm
and the same with made sure vets the police officers on the street have to have a ballistic vest i wouldn't want to put anyone on the street or in a situation that carries a badge and weapon to be engaging someone in a peace officer exchange yet the vests is frankly knapp of breathing organization i think it should be assigned to every single officers and be howard our people are protected that would be a significant oversight if we didn't do that the unfunded innovations which was referred earlier we can do station transfer unit there are
9:27 pm
have integrals we've proven we can do it we have the data i object to sit down with you and that we're proposing is $1.239 million for all 10 district stations as i was sitting as a supervisor as a 7 member of the chair committee we pushed for this 4 or 6 or 7 years ago the jail crowding is more wore significantly under crowded i believe that the police department hfa as appropriately trying to comment for people that in a community policing way we can awe lightwell between our deputy sheriff and on the hospital runs the police department and us
9:28 pm
agree that is much more efficient and effective we're able out of or occupy our prisons in san francisco general hospital we can sit with someone at san francisco general but need to be financed our department was more than happy to test pilot with what they look like without asking or requiring additional funds for two stations we'll asking for to cover the normal cost of doing business that is a significant savings from police why? because it requires sfpd to have two officers as mentioned to sit on someone at san francisco general before they maybe booked into the county jail and sitting on them can take a a long time ago, i use deputy sheriff's to sit with that person that are at
9:29 pm
san francisco general the fund is a positive for city law enforcement and the citizenry are the vocal train everybody has subtracted city build a workable and effective model that is trying to maximize job opportunity and propose people in disengaged community in getting the kind of training and toll hold into you know great job especially with the high about how many of construction it makes no sense we're not doing that inside of the jails we have the facility space and use whether city build inside the jail system to train people that are clarified classified to be students to be prepared for
9:30 pm
ready set going as a apprenticeship we've proposed this for several years it is wise for someone that is coming out who is a typically disengaged community african-american or latino or other who doesn't really have the means and part artist rehabilitation pathway to help them on a vocal track inside the kid system i think is high time the city invests it not much on $300000 i believe it will go a long way in men's jail in san bruno and the women's like a la ca chip model trying to train the women in our custody in
