treatment that ended the many shootings reports for this reporting period with that, i'll ask captain conley. >> no problem. >> i apologize the former prosecutor is concerned about the number of shootings within the last week and the number of homicides looming it there is activity in mroukt and broad we worked and i worked as a prosecutor i'm sure there is correlation i see in the bayview and the central and the mission district with officers on the street and one in central i'm concerned about why do you think so many shootings happened last week whether or not we had an adequate number of officers or the dream force were we able to do in pro-active law enforcement
7:51 pm
looking at individuals that are involved in those crimes what is the solution and what do you think this is one of the worse homicide reports i've seen since i've been on the commission. >> just to address there is ongoing investigation and there are some links to some of the shootings i can't go into that. >> i don't expect you to. >> you're right the terryville or lakeview had to murders and no murders since 2015 the end of 2015 was the last murder there was a thought two homicides make linked they're investigating and that is addressed at the town hall meeting with supervisor avalos and the captain of attorney value they're addressing that in the last few weeks we've had shootings across 8 police districts so there is no rhyme or reason their are a lot of
7:52 pm
them not linked and some of the shootings no people struck in one case the car description the car that was described was later involved in a cash crash with on of r one of our black and white unit an geneva avenue and the subject jumped out so that person was taken into custody and casings in the vehicle and they matched the description of the shots fired it looks like the same person that happen to be seen by one of our marked unit and see if this is a same person no rhyme or reason and there was a scattered deployment of officers people may have take advantage and most of shootings
7:53 pm

7:56 pm
recommendations the next steps for us as we review this the consent and the findings and recommendation we'll interact those recommendations into a magical we have and is magical includes the doufg o doj report and he blue ribbon panel and the task force on the 21st century policing and the civil grand jury and the t oc recommendations we need to prioritize those and we have an month deadline to comply with the doj recommendations the next steps the strategy and implementation which we hope to present in the coming weeks. >> steps taken so for many policies are under review we have initiated the bias training the leadership training, fair
7:57 pm
and partial police taking training and the of us on the general order it is generally a process for the department of human resources we initiated and enrolled the body cam should be completed prior and ongoing crisis intervention training and our data collection we were part initiative we've taken the report and made notifications to the department members and community shareholders the public directives to all stakeholders and have feedback we've created an e-mail portal so the community can provide feedback on the report that will say published forth coming
7:58 pm
we have mandated that the entire report is made for reading for all members of the police department and progress will be posted to our website regularly as recommendations are implemented and that is the conclusion. >> so; is that true? captain i know that you gave a presentation i think that was about 3 weeks ago was a number of updates on the magical and the plan and the next steps owen this is a good reminder obviously today colleagues, i would share with all of you that one of the points that director davis i attended did press conferees and one of the points that director davtsz made from the cops office the confidence in working in san francisco is a large part because of the structures specifically in the
7:59 pm
police commission where the department can say get the support and on the number of recommendations obviously a number of them doj with willing to provide reports overnight that's a process and captain conley if you could see the look on his face that commission will play an important role in having monthly updates from the principle policing bureau as you may know we get monthly updates by the magical you're putting together and the process is san francisco anything that will be essential to share that not only with us as commissioners by the board of supervisors you noted in the cops report it does direct or suggest strongly that both the commission and the board of supervisors require
8:00 pm
quarterly reporting on those recommendations and we think are taking it to have been at a higher standard monthly we'll continue that i will say that while the 18 months is a timeline i understand from doj is there will be a 6 month update and there are be a 12 month update this commission will be able to track the progress as well as the public and community members and watch where obstacles are rising up we can together think through them to be clear and not surprised when we get the report from doj we'll hear those and discuss those at the commission colleagues, any comments or questions on this. >> scomplakz. >> oh, commissioner wong. >> oh, commissioner dejesus. >> i've been reading this since this morning that is a lot
8:01 pm
to read this by today, i'm wondering if we'll have an opportunity to talk about this report is it going to be scheduled so we can at least have a real presentation from the doj or we can discuss some of the recommendations. > in the coming weeks as we develop this implementations plan and schedule i'll be back to present the plans to you to tell you how we'll lay out moving forward it is again, the report was issued this morning i think it will it takes time to absorb and reflect and as we move forward we'll identify the stream as possible to create this. >> i appreciate that i guess the problem in the report it directs the city that the city to give you the funds to do some certificate things you can come
8:02 pm
back and tell us how to structure but in terms of technology in terms of getting that expert in here to design the protocol it talks about getting people trained within the next 6 or 16 months or a year the entire force trained whether you'll have the money for the hiring of additional trainers for like to fall within here you can come back and talk about how you implement that but what they're saying the deficiency in terms of actually providing fund whether emergency basis or what can be done immediately and putting into our budget for next week on a continual basis we've been talking for years about the traffic stops and the word and filed in a file cabinet and it
8:03 pm
is 5 or 6 years we keep on talking about it i think we need this commission needs to discussion what is the priority what are some of the things and go about working with the city and getting this fund so you can have the tools or develop the tools you need you think the chief talked about an expert as a specialist not someone to put out an rfp but i think the chief sucked an emergency basis for the thing we need now not the next 18 months but put it out to discussion it. >> those are all good points commissioner mazzuco we invited the cops office to make a presentation to the commission they don't as a federal entity make presentations to both sides next week some commissioners were able to get a briefing from
8:04 pm
the cops office and share more about it i think we can talk about whether next week is sufficient time to go through all the reports and this has to be a obgyn breathing be document we begin next week to go into it further i agree that is the place to have the conversations not without certainly a significant investment in the data system you're correct not new to the commission commissioner vice president turman. >> i was going to comment the doj commented today correct me if i am wrong but at the press conference they will be providing technical saufrs through the process as well as providing experts in some of the specific areas that commissioner dejesus raised and she's quite right that data collection how
8:05 pm
we gather it data and how we moved on an ongoing basis this is important we'll provide other assistance to - how this gets paid for will be city and county comblaefr a priority for the mayor to implement those these recommendations we'll be making serious requests. >> commissioners the developments has provided technic assistance we initiated a conversation in addition to we've within in close contact with the mayor's office about the next steps and what that means in terms of direct costs those are all conversations that are happening currently they'll continue to happen and as they progress i will report on the progress. >> commissioner marshall.
8:06 pm
>> i'm sorry, i think that commissioner vice president turman raised a point i wanted to make i'll ask the office computed looking at other cities responses to similar perform processes so we have a lot of help doing that that would be helpful. >> i want to add they talk about the commission itself and how we're structured and we should after we get time to go through this we should talk about how to improve on the structures not within the departments purview. >> and just for commissioner marshall said part of the technical assistance they pay for the train and they will apply officers to other departments one of the 15 departments on the it a and talk about you can what they did and how they implemented some of the
8:07 pm
recommendations this is a huge part to go to someone in the process at the beginning and to the end and that's something we'll address once sending the officers to go to the other departments to look how they implement the standards in place. >> that's great the last thing eye i appreciate captain the benefit we have the two civil grand juries report and the blue ribbon panel and the bar association data report and presidents 21st century policing report and the occ recommendations all those pieces have been forwarded to the doj they were factored into this report the idea can question really have a blueprint a road map that take advantage of the pieces and give us a clear direction this is an opportunity
8:08 pm
with the magical and the strategy plan the last thing i'll say director davis said 1 departments nationally are opening up the books and saying what can we be better and there was virtuosa significant amount of i would say recognize that's a hard process and opening up yourselves to scrutiny not that common and 15 departments income tax have done that that is a sign of the strength of this department and the relationship of every community across the city so while there are hard pieces in this report for everyone to understand especially officers that are working everyday this is supposed to help us get to a better place i appreciate the
8:09 pm
hard working captain conley how organized to look at everything and chief chaplin the department wants to get better and make many together to be stronger with very much my takeaway and plenty of work i want to acknowledge you for opening up to the process. >> thank you very much i want to say that san francisco was kind of unique this this process but this is the most expansive report and did that for a reason i believe over one hundred and 50 other agencies looking at this rolling it out i want to make san francisco and model and most of departments were brought up to standards income tax looking for san francisco to be the roll model for the rest of the country so some of the recommendations are cutting-edge romanced for 21st century policing quite frankly
8:10 pm
is not done in any jurisdiction it is a challenge and we're at the front and rewarding at the end and we're around to see it at the end we'll be better for it it is getting an outside look at the performance and going introduce a tough phase and we embrace this report and the mayor said wee bit we're going to it to implement it and oh, captain conley. >> and as you read the report i had the ability to read it several times but to insure you there are significant parts of blue ribbon panel the occ recommendation and the civil grand jury components are in the report they didn't delineate it as such we go back to the magical we'll do a line by line comparison that demonstrates the recommendations their enumerated
8:11 pm
in the report. >> that would be helpful. >> we look forward to the partnership with the occ and that effort i know that the report did delineate the opportunity part of opportunities that we have to be a model to take advantage of not only the police commission but the role of the occ in partnering with the department to address a lot of these those details will unfold thank you, captain conley for your presentation. >> that concludes the chiefs report. >> inspector, next item. >> item 3 b occ director's report to allow the directors to report on occ activities and make rosters more the monthly statistical report for september 2016. >> good evening director joyce hicks. >> good evening commissioner president loftus and sdmurm commissioners chief chaplin and members of the public yesterday occ senior staff
8:12 pm
members and i met with community oriented policing services director ron davis and his team an is collaborative reform initiative technical assistance assessment of the san francisco police department we've heard in in daily about the report and next week the agenda permitting i'll like to provide the commission with the role that the office of complaints will play in the implementation of these recommendations and one of the things that director davis stressed to the office of complaints is the unique opportunity that the occ has along with the police commission and civilian oversight we're
8:13 pm
unlike any other civilian oversight agency in the united states and in reviewing the report in some detail we did note at the occ that there were several opportunities for collaboration that were specifically appoint by cops and with very distinct timelines in particular in the area of accountability in the area of force and the office of complaints sees this as an opportunity for improvement ourselves in our office as well as in the police department we see this as a partnership and look forward to moving forward with the police department today, i attended the press
8:14 pm
conference led by director ron davis and mayor ed lee in which the collaborative reform process and in the report were described i came away from a quote from director davis it is on his website on the cops website the truth hurts but selective ignorance is fatality that applies to all of us i don't see this as simply the truth being hurtful to the police department but also it stinks for the occ as well we too want to do the best that we can do so i look forward to this partnership. >> moving to outreach efforts that the occ has made in recent
8:15 pm
days occ mediation and outreach doesn't salazar discussed mediation and police mediation with the new manager the richmond mediation program and with the new york inspector generals office we're in touch with an office with the civilian oversight agencies throughout the country and throughout the world we had a thrilled monthly meeting on the occ work with the community advocates and the police department on the crisis intervention responses to chaos calls and also the crisis intervene team and senior investigator and another over when i was in the audience this evening made a presentation at
8:16 pm
the san francisco police department comedy regarding occ function that was to the 200 and 51 accounting regional class port of recent activity. >> is this commissioner hwang. >> commissioner dejesus. >> are you done really - are you done. >> i'm finished with one report and a second report but. >> sorry. >> i don't know if it was called. >> on this report you mentioned he said some of the truth hurts but it - thinking about that there are other parts of maefks e matrix we need to look at the discussion how we'll
8:17 pm
go forward and fight for our priors and i call constructive criticism of this department so give us their review so we can calendar it and discuss it as well. >> yes. and in response to commissioner dejesuss remarks one reads that some members of the community say they never heard back from the occ about the resolution of their complaint, of course, the immediate response is but that we do send letters out with our finding and however i don't think that is the ends of
8:18 pm
the story probably the beginning of the story and what we have looked at as an office when someone waits a year to receive a letter perhaps they are no longer there or it is just doesn't feel like they were looked after speaks for itself or needs were met so even before this report came out as we went through the process with the task force and in hearing what the community had to say we revised our processes to send out periodic letters to the complaints they still have your complaint if there is any additional information to
8:19 pm
provide we'll do that there is the beginning the story because of the specific recommendations from cops were electricity am i correct? and the police department should jointly provides the communities with information and community setting so that was a very link answer to a commissioner dejesus moving on to the september certificate report in september the occ mediated four cases and to date as of september 30th the occ has mediated 40 cases similar to last year, we mediated 41 and you have the statistical information on a number of complaints by a number- but i will discuss the chiefs proposed discipline on occs sustained
8:20 pm
complaint in september that didn't mean those are necessarily the contemplates that the occ completed with the same finding that in september means these are the occ complaints that the chief addressed in september there were 4 of them 3 of them were neglect of duty and one was unwarranted action the first one has to do with with plain clothes officers making traffic stops and generally their prohibited from doing so unless their excellent circumstances we didn't find those the chief agents those allegations means that the officer violated the policy we recommended a reprimanded and
8:21 pm
retrained it was a class violation under the discipline guidelines that was adopted by the police commission the lowest level of discipline and the first level that is recommended we have a written reprimand we recommended the chief have an mrosht and retraining moving to the second case and the failure on the part of a sergeant to issue a certificate of release after hand cuffing i recommended a reprimanded and retrained the third case and the second neglect of duty case
8:22 pm
involved the complainant requesting a private person arrest the officer did not facilitate that arrest and the officer should have prepared an incident report katy recommended a reprimand and the chief concurred with that and also retraining and finally this was in an inaccurate description of a traffic code violation i recommended a written reprimand the chief determined it was a violation a training failure and that concludes my report. for september. >> thank you director joyce hicks commissioner vice president turman. >> did you have any comments
8:23 pm
why you proposed the discipline on number 1, 2 or 4. >> on number one waited wait it was the handcuffs that's the airline. >> this is the plain clothes officer s who cite the complainant for double parking and so i recommended a written reprimand and you recommended reprimanded and retrained do you have - >> i do i'm looking at it on that particular within they didn't want to delay the complainant unnecessarily for a black and white to come to that location there was some safety issues cited with regards to the location that's why i went on that particular one my question on the number two is that the
8:24 pm
airport? >> i don't have the breakdown of that one. >> that maybe - >> i believe that was a airport a person was detained by a airport personnel there were going to miss their flight to the officer wrong side a certificate to allow the person not to miss in their flight they got on their flight and went back and filed a certificate of relief that's why i went down the officer helped the person not detained to miss their flight. >> and on number 4 i think that was the last one you asked about the inaccurate traffic citations the police officer gave the right code but there's
8:25 pm
ambiguity they're close in numbers i mean in meaning so the officer use the wrong subsection and knowing what that particular section meant. >> anything further for director joyce hicks thank you director joyce hicks. >> you're well commissioner president loftus. >> sergeant, next item. >> >> c-3 commissioners and wanting report. >> colleagues he shared that i was able to participate along with commissioner vice president turman and dr. marshall in a briefing by the cops office on the report it was a high-level briefly similar to what was at press conference we agendize for next week and share more about what was highlighted from the perspective the cops office and anything from fellow

8:28 pm
community policing and recruitment retention and hiring a lot of community how the background process works and finally accountability and so want to make sure that everybody knows never mind of how well make sure that commission is taking the action and various steps to make sure those are advanced with that, anything additional to put on we have not discussed. >> you mean the calendar. >> excuse me - >> pit on the calendars commissioner dejesus. >> so talk about eis not only that was a staff shortage in the eis none of the meeting governing board took place through the 2017 calendar year we got a presentation 6 months ago and since then thees the board has met regularly for 2017

8:30 pm
those questions answered and hopefully, the occ will comment on that. >> thank you commissioner mazzuco we asked you to take the lead you were part of it being in the advanced shaurth do we have a date scheduled for it. >> and thank you for providing these questions please do shaurth we should make sure those are available to the public as well i believe that you have mentioned maybe november 9th. >> so i think it is critical and need by the community thank you for providing our questions we had a general overview and time to get the specification on the program by anything further i'm sorry director hicks. >> yes. commissioner president loftus i'll push my bottom by my green is not activated

8:32 pm
>> on the number of bullets fired i don't know what the security cameras - i know there is a lot of previous security cameras on the street i'm wondering if a let me know and a hook up to the police commission you don't know which car will fire a bullet but on the home at the corner of a block you can see what cars have left that area at a point i'm wondering if there's a way for the police and communities to speed up of linkage joanne walker i want to reiterate just the talents that very few of us have maybe because she knows how to meander without threatening people but i'll encourage her to encourage the department to open doors for
8:33 pm
this woman and let her establish again, a mid way they'll the 0 police officer will be there but other people i call ajdz not to a hospital a not to jail that is in two minutes i can't rough that one out and that's it thank you. >> thank you, sir. >> next speaker >> good evening and welcome. >> good evening commissioners david san franciscans for police accountability myself and several members of the public pa were at the press conference we want to tell you the community is distrust of the cops their meeting were disrupted a strong demand a pattern and practice
8:34 pm
investigation on the other hand, the community has been supportive of blue ribbon panel the communities you know came to the board of supervisors hearing last week it was very engaged in the b rp process we haven't had time to vet the cops report our first take the assertion that are folded in the all the other reports we're not seeing that okay. let me give you two extremely glaring examples of where the cops report is a lot less substantial and - everybody is acknowledging that there is a tremendous audit problem with the san francisco police department and yet the cops report is calling to self-audit an inspector he general an different system you know the sfpd didn't have a good
8:35 pm
record of auditing itself not a good record at all the glaring difference he found in the quick announcement was the b rp had a very thorough investigation of racism in the racist cultural within ray marshall you know that was a central part of what he did nothing in the cops report going through that expiate for x training so we'll we're going to present that to you next week thank you. >> thank you is there any additional public comment on 3 a there d hearing none, sergeant, next item. >> >> item 4 discussion and possible action supporting vision zero and automated speed
8:36 pm
enforcement action. >> so we have nicole from walk sf coping up and chief anyone from the department here tonight on this no. >> come on this commission and the department under chief suhr early supporter of the city's vision zero approach to ending serious injuries and fatalities happening on our street by 2024 which is is big goal not only improvement but engineering all a across the city to save lives this commission as you may know from your quarterly update tracked the roll to make sure the driven policing for the 5 types of violations most likely to result in a collision all of that by the way, background we've been asked to create and
8:37 pm
pass a resolution to - we have a presentation a few weeks ago but confirmations want more time and edits to this to make it clear you'll have a couple of times this resolution is vertebral to the public as well as a report from the office of controller by automated speed enforcement i'll give that introduction and ask nicole to take it from there. >> i'm here on behalf of san francisco small business commission we've been working closely with the city of san francisco police commission and many commissions sfmta and the brokering to gather input and support for this important legislation what automated enforcement i'll provide a brief refresher what
8:38 pm
automated speed enforcement does we call safety cameras to take pictures of the license plates of directives who are speeding over the speed limit the exact number will be part of the legislation it probably between 6 to 8 miles over the speed limit a photo will be snapped of the license plate felt vehicle a citation will be issued not a civil or criminal offense but a civil offense no need to take a picture of the face not an opportunity for bias and another they know to note that the cameras will not be rolling 24/7 but only taking a picture when someone is speeding over the speed limit so they're not general surveillance cameras the
8:39 pm
way the legislation is written it is specific on how the information is shared it will be very you know currently the draft legislation has a lot of permissions for privacy this would be treat in the same thing with the red light violations they're not shared unless there is some sort of petition by the police department are another body to get that information so there they're very persist the biggest thing that is pretty much the most effective way to reduce speeding and really quick and easy to implement so we want to be able to implement that on streets there are no speeding related to traffic deaths in washington, d.c. they adopted automated speed enforcement over 10 years their traffic deaths
8:40 pm
dropped by 70 permeation we're looking at chief of police vision zero in the next 7 and a half years we've got a lot more work to do and use all the tools this is one of those tools so this resolution to urge or add the police department name to our list of supporter it requires state legislation to allow us to use this technology we have a long battle ahead but hope you'll lend our support and input nothing set in stone we're curious toe hear your input. >> thank you nicole the co-relation in this resolution studies show if a pedestrian is hit by a 40 mile-per-hour vehicle the pedestrian will be killed but 20 mile-per-hour 10 percent the pedestrian will be killed in chance i'm clear that
8:41 pm
you know probably many people know that speeding is incredibly dangerous to pedestrian on the streets so colleagues do you have questions for nicole on this resolution again, we're not adopting the technology it is showing as part of our vision zero that will help keep people save in the city and it will ultimately be up to sacramento commissioner dejesus. >> i understand the whole concept and some of the privacy concerns it is also what is underused if they're not able to sell that information that is important i assume that will be taken care of in the legislation one of the thing is points out is revenue that a lot of cities tends to eye 24 as revenue every 5 miles on the freeway another dmaerm is a fine you get 10
8:42 pm
fines and used to generate revenue that's a concern because we see in ferguson that is one of the things that the police department did to the people citizens thought that town therapy forever in debt to the city court so that's a concern i don't know from the legislation - but need to know the perimeters of that. >> we thought through that i can address that we we are hoping to which kind of not legislation that is a certain time limit within that time limit. >> can't get more than one violation that didn't happen and the next thing we're working on the citations are issued similar to the parking ticket and mta as part that have they have a certification program if you can't afford it you can do
8:43 pm
community service in lui of that we're factoring that into our program in san francisco i don't know if that is spelled out in the legislation by part of the implementation in san francisco because this legislation could potentially include other cities that might not have that ability but that's definitely things we considered and definitely don't want that to disproportionately impact our protecting communities to create future or larger crimes out of certificatiocitation because our protecting folks suffer disproportionate. >> further questions for nicole before we get to public comment. >> i'm sorry commissioner wong. >> how do you select the sites for the camera. >> the dpw and others are
8:44 pm
foufrth the methodology but we want to make sure that they are on high injury corresponds so the 12 percent of streets that accountability for offering 70 percent of accidents we're trying to fourth how to integrate an equity component for instance, in the tenderloin protecting communities most of the people that are hit are not driving by in the bayview or mission that might look different to make sure we are equitablely implementing the camera is one of the questions we're you think ravel so we're - we're promising a community process before implementation and there will be approval and community engagement through that process
8:45 pm
and also awareness so before any cameras turn on and get placed people will be wonder and there will be a warning period so people know they're coming we don't want this to be a revenue janitor but not generate revenue if you guys have ideas please let us know. >> my last question all over the city or targeted areas. >> target areas well, we don't have a set number of cameras wear proposing at this point but the areas where speed is related to injure so you wouldn't see it for instance, on a slow residential street you might see it in school zones we have reflexes of crashes or history of crashes so it all depends on we're definitely not take into account
8:46 pm
one district over another over and over things like that. >> questions for nicole nicole thank you thank you for all your hard work and all your requesters years of partnering you factor into those things around equity and protecting kids and seniors i know you take it personal and doing everything we can in partnership with other folks bicyclist coalitions to keep your streets safe we'll go ahead and do public comment mr. gil gilbert. >> is there a possibility we can cross-file that camera work with stolen vehicles will that file be available to those cameras that are taking
8:47 pm
photos of 6 miles per hour speeding auctions get cross-checked with stolen vehicle files? will it help? >> is there any additional public comment? >> before we take a vote it is on this item ms. brown do you want to provide a brief response? >> we have thought about how you know could this data be used for other things and given the privacy concerns it is likely it wouldn't be used because we want to keep this information confidential but all of that is sort of occult we're consulting with the aclu and keep you
8:48 pm
posted. >> thank you all right. is there any additional public comment on this hearing none, so i'll ask for a automated speed enforcement. >> so moved. >> is there a second. >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> opposed? that item passes. >> all right. thank you everyone sergeant, next line item. >> item 5 public comment. >> address the commission on items not on tonight's agenda within the jurisdiction of the commission. the commission as a whole and not to individual commissioners or departments or occi personnel. department, occi or commissioners are to respond to questions but may provide a brief response.

8:51 pm
to see that within twenty-four hours after the patrol man sees it his or her and things in the unrest release the video across the country twenty-four hours is good it gives the ois to review it and gets the citizens involved and instead of having lengthy drone out investigations people need to see that and crisis intervention team needs to be a mid way 3 young gals were here at the platform and talking one says the uniforms is for the approachable and another one where's the 21st century policies and another one a
