law enforcement how technology changes the over time spending a concern i'll be doing any best to look at that but i appreciate supervisor wiener's comments i disagree it is not only law enforcement but another needs especially human safety net needs with the hockey's we're facing in our city. >> supervisor wiener. >> thank you, mr. chair i appreciate and respect supervisor mar's comments about when you look at the investments we've made every year both the mayor and broadway and in human services we can do more we would like to invest more resources 40 in health and nutrition and senior services all including myself has supported that and

back to the board to get that done i don't buy into the have the most effective police officers as possible we have a $9 million budget we're a growing budget we can accomplish a lot of public goals and public safety is part ever that vibrant crimes are down but property crime is exploding a significant increase even though vibrant crimes r are down property crimes are exploding you see it down the street with shared glass. >> okay colleagues if no other questions right now why thank you very much chief for being here i understand you're working with our budget analyst on their

budget. >> mr. rose would it be appropriate to ask the occ to come up right now before you do the full police department i believe the folks are here. >> good afternoon supervisor farrell and members the budget & finance committee and i'm joyce hicks i thank you for the opportunity to address you i'd like to thank the mayor and his budget staff and harvey rose staff for working with me on the budget i'm continuing to be negotiate with mr. rose's staff with the senior investigator project not recommend by mr. rose we're norwalk over the start date for

various positions office of complaints was created by the board of supervisors in 19982 we became staff and operational in 1983 we're in the jurisdiction of the police commission and independent of the san francisco police department the mission of the eject was to investigate civilian complaints and police misconduct and negligent of duty and to make policy recommendations on police practices i've been the director of the occ since 2007 hired on the heels of a audit report one of the finding was 16 cases per investigator is best practices. >> but in 2007 investigators

caseloads ranged from 20 cases to 45 that's not the situation now but investigators cases loads are high as of today, the medium caseloads of after eject is 28 cases within the eject in 2014-2015 staffing was constrained by judgements and nutrition and longtime staff absence this current staff vacancies are two journey level investigators and one senior investigator the senior position was vacated by deputy director eir when he was appointed by me to the deputy director position. >> we will be able to fill one journey level investigator position on june 29th that individual was scheduled to start. >> investigators caseloads has

been a huge issue at the eject we have on our staff 15 journey level investigators seen to be 16 but two are acting as senior investigators current medium caseload is 27 cases with 13 investigators as of the close of 2014 the medium caseload was 24 cases with 13 journey level investigators also at the end of the year a major push to close cases that explains why at that moment in time 24 and now 27 as i said to the journey level investigators was has been acting as a senior investigator

for two years. >> as i stated 16 cases per investigator what what do they do with 3 senior investigators they oversee 2 hundred and 40 cases annual the senior investigators draft the same reports by investigators in a number of the same cases between 2013-2014 increased by 35 percent the number of major cases between 2012 and 2014 increased from 22 to 10 a satisfaction survey that we began conducting in 2011 candlelight are not satisfied with the time their unhappy no updates with the additional staffing including one new journey level investigator and a senior level

investigator the occ can providegreater services they review in realtime on the line casework summary on the cases they monitor the investigation plan and insure that interviews with conducted a timely manner in 2014 for all cases it took hundred and 63 days 13 it took hundred and 56 days the number of days to close the cases increased by a week for cases we find wrongdoing or negligent of duty it took an average of 2 leonardo da vinci and 98 days in 2014 to close the case by statute the eject has

only 365 to close cases if discipline is to be imposed by the chief or police commission and the number of days increased by over two weeks in 2013 it took hundred and 80 days in 2014 it took 2 hundred and 98 days the next slide shows the occs budget without enhancements as you can see 90 percent of our budget for salaries and fringe and another 6 for others moving to the next chart the sum of the occs proposed enhancement given start dates not begin right on july 1st the next chart proposed enhancements 2015-2016 are the

proposed start times that the occ would like for the journey level investigator the .77 matt haney that at the end of the first quarter the cost is listed out and goes through the senior investigator information technician sausages and the lawyer position with the exception of the 2 point plus attorney the board of supervisors consultants recommended all the positions start in january the occ has a list of journey levels investigators we could hire them did journey investigators in the first quarter and the attorneys they're at w will the occ community colleges the investigation i've done in the past he'd our office needed only

a limited human resources we'll start them during the first quarter last is the overseeing chart with the current staffing of 4.75 ftes organizing chart reflects two vacancy and two long term absence as i mentioned two journey level investigators and one journey level one will be positions it is the duty of that most the occ has 3 positions or - the inadvertent drops from 27 cases ferry investigator to cases per investigator, however since two

investigators are acting senior investigators the caseload only drops to 23 cases per investigator that concludes my report i thank you for the opportunity to present this. >> thank you ms. hicks thank you very much mr. rose our report on the police department and occ. >> yes. mr. chairman let me mention mr. chair on occ the romance was shown an page 72 of the report of the proposed reduction of 373637 ambulance the new data the department provides water we'll be withdrawing a significant proportion of that recommendations i wanted to accelerate you to that consistent point testimony that you just heard so when we get the data shows that we should

reduce our recommended cut, of course we are going to do that and will do that. >> on page 69 on the overall police departments budget our recommended totaled $340 million plus in 2015-2016 of that recommended are ongoing savings and one million dollars plus a one-time saves those reductions will still allow an increase of 14 millions plus or 2.8 percent of the 2015-2016 budget wore recommending plaza $2 million plus in problematic budget on budget & finance committee reserve until the xhaerm working group has implemented it's

review and the portfolio our recommended reductions are $2 million plus in 2030 and of that amount we recommended the reduction a one-time and $2 million ongoing savings those reductions will allow an increase of $15 million plus or 2.7 percent in the departments 2016-2017 budget mr. chairman and members i want to emphasis none of the recommended rescues we're making in the police department will reduce the services of uniformed personnel i want to emphasis that to the committee our recommendations will though the reduce the service reductions for the uniform personnel i'll be happy to answer any questions. >> thank you, mr. rose. >> supervisor mar. >> mr. rose i understand i believe your recommendations

could you reiterate the placing on reserve of that $2.78 million for until the body camera program has implemented their review. >> yes. if you take into account supervisors on page 73 of our report i'm read this quickly place $2 million plus in the problematic on the boifks reserve this line item includes the cost related body cameras the later and the east citation program the department estimates $3 million in 2015-2016 for the combraem the department b will canyon a working group to design 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 next moped up next we'll go back

to our sheriff's department i believe they're here. >> good afternoon honorable chair and members of the budget committee ross sheriff city and county of san francisco first slide up sthurg there you go i believe i have the presentation on video 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 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 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 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 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 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 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

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 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 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

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 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 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

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 that, of course wore obligat
