that was when we found out there was a backlog in testing of rain kits, so the former prosecutors on this commission know how important that is. again we've made a lot of progress when we found out that there was a lot of untested kits, and the rational given was because they were known silents. we as a commission made a commitment to have every kit tested, just for other cases, for additional evidence, and we've come to a pretty good point, so i hope the numbers are good tonight, and i'm sure they are. i want to thank you for your report on that. this police department is updating something that others haven't. go ahead. >> thank you, mr. vice president, commissioners, director and chief. thanks for allowing me time to speak. my name is john sanchez, and i'm the civilian director of forensic services for the department. i'm here to provide you with that brief status update are for the processing of the kits from december 31st to joule

31st, 2017. in that time, we had 110 kits collected and submitted to the laboratory. all were concluded within the 120 day limit established by the commission, and most, the average time is under 30-days for those kits. having said that, 15 of those kits did exceed the five-day window of commission to the treatment centers, but that did not affect the ability to turn those kits around within the time frame. none of the kits was outsourced. all of that work was completed within the laboratory here in san francisco. of those kits, 93 kits provided foreign dna profiles. # 8 of those were determined to meet codis eligibility and suitablity requirements. they were subsequently updated within the 120 day period, and of those 88 uploads, 26 results

in codis hits or associations. 103 kits had no foreign dna profiles available when processed. as for notification and out comes, of those kits, the number of victim survivor notifications made by svu through the victim bill of rights was 114, as well as the number of declined or refused notices by victim/survivors was 55. and the number of outside agencies kits we processed were six. of the total sae case collects, sexual assault kits collects, the disposition are as follows: 111 are inactive. 26 of those were cleared, and 47 remain open. total sent to the district attorney's office for charging was 27, and the number charged was 13. and the number discharged was

14, with no convictions to date. and that's the report for the commission. >> thank you. again, thank you very much for your work on this, and the last time we had the presentation, dr. mar or captain mar from the police department explained that it's a lengthy process. it's time-consuming, but we've increased the number of people that can test for dna in the lab. we've increased the number of people that were involved in the process. that started with chief sur and his request for more budget, so i want to commend you of doing that. of 27 presented for prosecution, only 13 charged, but at least we gave some closure to some of the victims. that really, i'm sure we'll talk about that in public comment, but it's really important we do that for people. thank you, commissioners, for your hard work. thank you so much. these numbers are great. anything further? >> my only comment is this has come a long way. i remember when this was brought up, so great job in

moving things along. that's impressive. thank you. >> thank you. >> very impressive. thank you very much. please call the next presentation. >> thank you very much, commissioner. next presentation will be pete walsh, presentation of the audit of electronic devices for bias for the fourth quarter of 2017. >> and as commander walsh makes his way to the podium, this was one of the doj recommendations that we've already implemented where to eliminate bias, we do random audits and checks of electronic devices that are used by our officers to see if there's any sort of trigger words that would show bias. it's an intense process using words, and for those of you that are very computer literate, there's a lot of algorithms that they use, so we get a quarterly reports. sometimes there's hits, so in

case a ci, a confidential informant sends something to a police officer, sometimes speaks in language that a police officer doesn't speak in, and that will trigger a hit. but without further adieu, command you are walsh? >> this is going to be the final report for 2017. the three platforms that we do monitor are all department owned. we get a lot of questions, why don't we do personal cell phones, and we'd need a court order, a subpoena or some kind of search warrant. so level two is clets, and tsf and text messages on the department's cell phones. we have a secret list of words. i know that we generate these through sources such as urban

dictionary or whatever the latest information may be. we get a lot of false positive hits that are generated. iad reviews all of these hits thoroughly, so even when we get the same word over and over, they go through it. where we're seeing a lot of our hits are in innocuous words that in every day mean nothing, but we put them in because they can be used in context. when you see a spike, that'll be run of the reasons for quarter four. next item, please. so again, this is just to give you context on the third quarter that you can see. this is just clets. if we go to the next one, this is how we break them down. next slide is level two, e-mail for the third quarter. no confirmed hits, and then, you will see our e-mail of the

fourth quarter, no hits, but this is where the spike comes in, it was an innocuous word. we go through all these, because it was the second time with this particular word to take it out. again, i offer if you ever need to come down here and see, if you want to see the list and how we do it so we don't give away our trade secrets, we're happy to demonstrate that for you. you can see in quarter three, we did have one hit. that case has been fully investigated and has been sent through the disciplinary process and is awaiting a decision on where it will go through the chief. quarter four, for text messages, nothing, again. so overall, i think we're doing a pretty good job. here's the third quarters, as you can see the hits between

each individual device. there's not really a rhyme or reason other than newsletters is where we get a lot of our hits. our biggest one, i don't know if anyone on the commission recalls, we did have a hit of a word that was graphic. it was a hate crime e-mail, so the public was e-mailing into a captain in the station. captain sends it -- we need to take care of this case, and sent it to sit and out. we do get hits like that, where they're coming in from the community for police action. i think we've done a really good job on department owned devices and systems. the one case that we did have, we automatically investigate that and bring that forward, and that is going to be brought forward very quickly. any questions? >> thank you, commander walsh. any questions for commander walsh? commissioner dejesus. her button's not working. it's right here.

i've gotcha. >> so this is good. i want to go back to the word, but that word got 2,671 hits. out of 2,671 hits, that word got 2,029 hits. >> that might account for some of it. i used this example before. it could be a lot of different innocuous words or words that end, so we have a couple street names that have words that people might find derogatory or believe are derogatory. so in clets, and if 18 was bad, if i had 18th street or 18, it would read it in that context. all those are not of one word. they're multiple, but when you see generally the big rise from month to month or quarter to quarter, it's usually a word or

something we have in context, and the investigators have to make sure this is what we're reading versus this is a word we need to move forward through the discipline process. >> and is this a word that we work with discipline consultants with -- and i don't want -- >> i'm not going to tell you, but it is an every day word, and everybody in this room has used it in a complete innocent innocuous way and it is not derogatory. if you put the word into a sentence, you could use it in a derogatory way if that's a better explanation. >> [ inaudible ]. >> yes, because it just keeps coming up. you know, we can always revisit it, and again, historically, we get to -- all this stuff has a shelf life of years, so if we needed to go back, we could always go back if we did find something in a proceeding or future quarter or month. >> you're probably going to have six commissioners call you tomorrow and find out what the word is.

you've piqued their curiosity. >> and the director. >> and the director. >> probably should tell the director offline. >> anything -- anything further? thank you again, commander walsh, and again, thank you. this is the implementation, and now you're actually seeing it in action, one of the doj recommendations. thanks. all right. please call the next line item, 3-b. >> commissioner, i do have one other item. >> you do? okay. >> it's just an overview on assembly bill 953. this is going to be pretty important to our department in terms of our data collection, so i'll just go through the highlights. in 2015, the board of supervisors proposed an amendment to the san francisco administrative code, chapter # 6-a requiring the police and sheriff's departments to gather and report data regarding detentions and traffic stops beginning january 1, 2016. the department has complied with that requirement, and under chapter 96.83, required

data is to be collected during encounters, as well as incidents involving use of force arrests and public complaints. also in 2015, california state assembly passed bill 953, the racial profile identity act, ripa which takes effect july 1st, 2018. although 96-a and 953 are similar, there are key differences which will require additional collection of information as well as different data sets, and that's kind of where it gets a little dicey for our department because we've invested so much in 96-a. so as such, the department is currently working with the board of supervisors to amend sections of 96.a 3, to ensure

that it will comply with state and local law. they will present the data to the state attorney general, and we will continue to report all information required by 96-a, including the use of force and complaints against officers, and we will provide an undate to the commission as the program moves forward, but the bottom line is really as we transition from what we require for 96 a and to 953, it's going to be a huge efficiency issue for us. if the officers have to collect two types of data, it's going to be a tremendous amount of time to do that. we'll update you how that goes. we want to be as efficient as we can, but still comply the with law, local and state law, so there will be a transition

period, and once the state database gets going, that will be the only data we have to collect, because then we can compare our department to all the others in the state. 96-a, it's like comparing apples to oranges. >> thank you, chief. that's important we can be compared to other departments in similar cities. we're seeing where the rubber hits the road for data driven policing and accountablity and transparency. we'll put that together and see if we can do that as efficient as possible. i understand and i agree that we don't want our officers sitting there, inputting things all day long, but they have to input who they stopped and why. just don't do it twice. >> what bill number was that, senate bill number? >> 953. senate bill 953. >> any questions, further questions regarding this? okay. please call the next line item.

>> item 3 b, dpa director's report. presentati report on announcements, and first announcement of general or the 8.10, presentation of the dpa's annual 2016 annual report, presentation of statistical report, mediation of complaints, adjudication of sustained complaints for november -december december 2017 and january 2018 and comparison reports. >> good evening, director henderson, how are you? >> i'm well. thank you. i got the memo. i will be brief and summarize. there's a lot on here, so let me just staff ort off with. i just have a couple of new updates. my new staff has started finally. it's taken us that long,

literally from that day to get them here, and they've started on monday, so i'm very excited about these new five bodies to help with the department. i've also just completed -- i did a 90 day review that you all reviewed earlier. the mayor had asked me to do another 90 day review, a six month review, which i just finished, may i can't remember mark farrell, so i've just completed that, and i'll get those to you, as well. i just finished it, and we submitted our budget just today, and there are a number of changes this our budget, a number of issues needing to be addressed in terms of we all know the work that i've been trying to do in terms of our technology just to catch it back up from the past ten years to be on board with the rest of the city departments, so -- and our budget, there's a number of things in there, including our training, which needed to be expanded, and the new positions that are in there.

b but it's filed, and you'll hear about fdefending it and what's in it. moving onto the next presentation or report from me is the 2017 first amendment compliance of san francisco police department records. there are no records of any investigations. a report should be in all of your records already that were 134 submitted. there were copies on the table. there were no record of investigations in 2017. i'm not sure whether the p patriot prayer event should be included in that, but that's one of the events that dba participated in with the police department 67 department. the next item is the presentation of the annual 2017 report. when i came in in july, i made

sure that report was done and finished, and so those records are in there, and you should have a copy of that, as well, in your records. i'm sure to answer any questions if you have any questions about them. in terms of where we are now, in my final report, we currently have open now 238 pending cases, so that is compared to 413 cases at this same time last year. it's a 42% reduction in the cases, so i'm really trying to focus on prioritizing our serious cases, and i've eliminated a lot of the cases that were beyond the statute of limitation that were still on our records. i will point out finally that six of my staff members are here, including my chief of staff, in the audience, including investigators that are available in case anyone has any questions, and i'm

available if anyone has any questions about any of the reports that have been submitted or any of the comments that i've just made thus far. i will point out that as of today and right now, this brings me current in all of the outstanding and old reports that had been languishing and building in the department, so dpa is now current and up to date on any and all of our reports. pending is the 2017 report, which i'm working on right now, and you should have in the next few months. >> well, thank you, director henderson. this is -- we had our concerns about the back log of cases, and we had our concerns about cases where the statute was blown, and that's very important for this commission. you know part of the strength of our police department is the fact strength of the dpa, formerly the occ. it's unacceptable to have any case not meet the statute, for the attorneys on this panel,

they know that it's malpractice, and so i'm glad you're cleaning up that mess, and it's very important that that's -- you know, that that takes place. i even heard from a member of the san francisco police department that the time had passed, and they wanted to act on something, and they couldn't. so keep up the great work. >> thank you. i will continue. >> anything further for director henderson. hearing none -- >> thank you. >> dr. marshall. >> this is beyond the scope of the report. >> that's fine. >> but how is the communication going between the dpa and the department? that's something you can't comment on now, certainly in the future, but your thoughts on that. >> well, they're right there. >> no one has ever said that. >> exactly, exactly. no, i think the communications are -- have gone well. i certainly don't feel any restriction in terms of

reaching out across the board, both in terms of the police department and with the chief. he and i migeet regularly. i don't know if those meetings were taking place as regularly with the previous director, but i know that we are constantly and troubleshooting issues before they become a problem all the time. so when things rise to the level through either my staff or the executives in my office, i just bring them directly to the chief to address them. that doesn't mean that we agree on everything or that aall gets resolved in my favor. >> before we heard about the transfer of information. >> it's been heightened, the communication, while we're processing the dgo, but i think the dgo reforms and the dgo

updates are defining what -- these communications and making sure we institutionalize some of these processes. it's certainly not acceptable that any time there's a problem, it has to work itself up either to my level or the chief's level, but that's the purpose of doing the reforms with the dgo, but because of the dgo reforms that we're working on, i don't think a week goes by that we're not addressing some of those issues that are going to move things forward into the future. and each time you get dgo to review what we've agreed on or don't agree on, that we've presented to you, it's a huge step forward, not just the work that dpa is dotion, but on behalf of how the community perceives accountablity, and how the community is able to criticize, complain or file an instance with the department. so i don't know if that answers

your question. >> thank you, director hicks. please call the -- i mean, director henderson, i'm sorry. >> item 3-c, commission reports, commission president's reports, commission reports. >> commission president turman is out of town on business. i do want to say, you know, with reference to some of the incidents the chief's been talking about, some of the incidents that have been widely publicized involving assaults on our police officers, you know, we are learning that there's people that are doing this that probably should not be out of custody, and you know, i'm concerned. you know, we had one officer run over who is recovering. we had another officer run over during an auto burglary, and the suspects in that car all had lengthy criminal histories, including one suspect whose father i convicted of murder and sent to prison, and he was arrested for murder and pled to

an accessory and now he's out and helping to run over our officers. i'm concerned about a lot of activity that people involved in shoot outs and homicides with our officers. a lot of the things we talk about going on with the police department, it's the criminal justice system. it's not just the police officers. officer are being put at risk. this all auto burglary thing, my neighborhood in saturday, there was a ring of people that were burglarizing cars in the richmond, and had they showed n our neighborhood, and they crashed. they hit three cars. there were small children on the street, so it's getting a little out of control of what's happening. it's a lack of respect -- it's a two way street. there's a lack of respect for the officers, and they're put in great danger. we have to thank them. they put up with a lot in a ten hour shift.

i give credit to tenderloin captain karl fabre. he's putting out there every arrest, and they're out, stay away orders, selling drugs, continuing to poison our community and continuing to carrie and sell firearms. part of this reform we look into what our officers need to do to change the culture, but the culture involves the community and the criminal justice system, so i just want to reach out to our officers and say, i know you're going through a hard time, but thank you. commissioners, anything further? call the next line item, please. >> item 4-d, commission announcements and scheduling of items for consideration at future meetings, action. >> secretary kilshaw. >> the council will be dark next week, february 28th, and then we will reconvene at city

hall, the same room, 400, on march 7th. >> now it's the time for public comment -- oh, commissioner dejesus. >> so i want to report that i met with consultants for the police department, and they're going to change the website for the police department to make it more navigable and user friendly. and then, i was informed there's no money for the commission, and the budget just came in front of us, and we didn't know, and we didn't know to ask that the consultant work on the commission side so it can be much more accessible to the public. i think we need to put on the agenda to make it more clear, talk to the consultant to get an idea of how much we need, but we need to make sure we ask for the commission to make sure it's in the budget, to have our website upgraded and have it more accessible to the public. i give my ideas, and it's nice,

but i was told we don't have money for the items. >> i think we should put it on the agenda. that was one of the recommendations by the 2k doj,t we can't hado it unless somebo has a son or daughter that's very technologically inclined and they can do it for us. >> commissioner dejesus, it's included in this main roll out. it's the district's main website, the district captain. >> i was told we're no part of it. you work it out. it would be nice if we were included, but i was told we're not. >> chief just volunteered to pay. >> i'll follow up 'cause it was a part of the original plan. >> okay. great. thank you. >> but i'll follow up. >> thank you. any further comments? i guess now it's time for --

sergeant kilshaw, public comments. >> public comments on items 3-a through 3-d. >> good evening, ace. i like your hat. >> well, thank you very much. it's for the effect so i don't get rejected. no, and it was intended for someone that's not here for black history month. and i heard that he had a memo from him to keep it short, but your presentation was outstanding, sir. >> thank you. >> and mild. and i heard you made your comments with the police officers on the other part of the ledger. let me just start, i go back in history. longer than you, way back. as a black man, i was the first one who elected to work with frank jordan. was a wonderful, approximate and had the blocks come over to the police to help them out,

but he was out selected by slick willie. please don't stop me, because this is history, because it shows where we came from and where we're going. >> i'm not going to stop you. >> okay but it looks like you're going to stop me. i don't mean to take -- okay. so i'm just trying to tell chief scott, what you all have not, 'cause we have to sit down 'cause we have not. in all this history, it took me -- all this history you talking about, all this, you didn't even tell chief scott, 20 years ago, 15 years ago. we're all black african american negroes, we're shot down by your men in blue. killed. this is the history back when new some was the mayor. please, please, just let me go on. >> you're straying -- >> it's not straining. >> straying. >> you're complaining. i'm not straining. i'm trying to tell you history. it's no mystery.

you need to listen to me. my name is ace, i'm on the case. and it's not just this department, it is hold up. our black people are ripped from this city because of the policeman that 20 years ago -- hold on because i'm not swolled up. i have time. just check your history. just check your history, whoo. i've been working on some cases wi involved with a lot of conspiracy, and some of your people don't like me, but i'm here in city hall, you all. >> thank you, ace. next speaker, please. good evening, mr. brown. >> ace, let miss brown speak, please. >> hello again. this is real. i just had a birthday february

14th, and it wasn't good -- it was good, no, it was good. i met diana ross. i got on the stage with her, and i had a good time. the best birthday i've had in the last 11 years, since my son was murdered, so i have no kwaums abo qualms about that, but we're talking about putting things on the agenda. i ask that you put our children's cases on the agenda so that we'll have a venue for our children's cases so the perpetrators can see the victims. no one's hearing the victim's voices. i am a victim. i am a survivor. but i still grieve for my son who was murdered 11 years ago. aubrey aborcasa, jr., a

17-year-old boy murdered on the streets of san francisco, and i have to wait to get justice for my son when everyone knows who killed my son. the police know, the d.a. know. they have addresses. they put it in the newspaper, but no one's doing anything. can you put our children's cases on the agenda so that we can get some closure for the mothers and for the -- like myself and for my family so that we can heal. the perpetrators are walking the street, still, today, to murder again when they feel like it, to pickup a gun, just like the recent homicides in the school that just recently happened. what are we going to do about that? it's happening everywhere. thank you. >> thank you, miss brown. as you know, miss brown comes to us each week to talk about

the death of her son, and unfortunately, there's no witnesses that will come forward. if anyone's willing to come forward, the anonymous tip number is area code 415-575-4444, and miss brown pours her heart out to us each week. her son aubrey was a great young man. he went so st. dominicks, and she took his diploma when he graduated. when he talk about the suspects, i'm sure the officers that are out on the streets are watching them closely. thank you, miss brown. next public speaker. >> hi. my name is diana tejada, and i'm an advocate at san francisco women against rain, and i attend other meetings that advocate for the group

that i work with. as you know, sexual assault, rain is grossly unreported crime. there are numerous reasons why women are discouraged from reporting the story to the police. a client of mine reached out to me because she fears the police because of what happened to her. her fear is real. she had called the police to her ex parte ner who was beating on her and sexually assaulting her. she had told him she would call in order for him to stop him from hurting her. he said go ahead. kwul call the police. you're undocumented, and don't speak english. as soon as enthuse get he-- th get here, they're going to talk to me, not you. as soon as the officers arrived, the officers took the word of what he said, and my client was arrested. if the officers had taken the time to get an officer who

spoke spanish, they would have known that she was the victim. had they taken the time to know, they would know that this perp had been beating this women since 2000. the officers refused to let mer use the rest room and this resulted in a uti. my client is very scared of the police. i am hoping that this does not continue because the word in the community is if you are undocumented and don't speak english, the police will just look the other way. now more than ever, bilingual officers are needed to interview lep crime victims and officers need to reassure crime victims regardless of their immigration status their cases will be investigated. thank you. >> thank you. did this happen recently, if i may ask? >> no. >> when was this. >> this happened in 2015. >> okay.

well, if you speak with one of director henderson's folks in the audience, it may be too late for a complaint, but it's important that we made these changes -- there was three years ago, but it's important we find out what happened, and it's important that you meet with him if you haven't done so already. >> thank you. >> thank you for all your hard work. we appreciate what you do. >> good evening, commission. my name is ana de-carlos. i am fortunate to sit at the lep working group for months, and we've been meeting for years, and while we recognize the progress made, there's still a lot of work to be done. only in the last semester of last year, my colleagues and i have heard or seen at least two instances of language barriers during police interactions on the street stemming from an improper assessment of language needs. give an examples, one of our

victims was a victim of a traffic accident. she was visited by officers while she was recovering from hur injuries. the officer asked her if she could speak english, and she said no. anyhow, the officer asked her questions in english, and she tried to answer to the best of her abilities in her limited english and given the situation of pain and injuries she was in. it turns out that the -- a report was written based on that interview that contains gross inaccuracies and/or miss information. dgo 5.20 states that abbott exigent circumstances officers must identify native language and/or call a qualified interpretation service. unfortunately we continue to see this pattern where officers dpoe through the process don't

through the assessment of establishing native languages. these road blocks are affecting people in the right to access justice as well as services, reparations and healing. they revictimize the victims and may result in arrests from problems stemming from inaccurate reports. we are thankful to people in sfpd who care about language access, particularly or langley a son, but we would like to see the whole -- language liaison, but we would like to see the whole -- >> if you could speak to an officer about the whole incident. miss up ton? >> good evening, commissioners. i am ea i'm so honored to be here. beverly up ton, domestic violence commission.

[ inaudible ] nobody's going to believe you. you're undocumented and/or you don't speak english. it's part of the pathology to be involved in that. so we're so honored to sit at the table once a month for, i don't know, the last seven or eight years at mission station, but we have to be part of the team that tells the survivor that he or she is believed, that we protect and serve everybody in san francisco, no matter what language they speak. one of the things we heard today was the danger of wrongful arrest, and we still do see it. and many of the survivors do not want to come forward because this is such a fearful time. not because of what's going on in san francisco. we're trying to create, i think, a very safe city, but the political realities are really keeping communities

afraid, and they're afraid to come forward, so we're not going to see the kind of reports that we probably have in the past. but i can tell you the examples that we heard from our two leaders in advocacy here tonight is a drop in the bucket. i can tell you that about six months ago, a young deaf mom, which we haven't really discussed, including asl and isl, international sign language, in our language access work would be so helpful. a young deaf-hard of hearing mom was wrongfully arrested, brought out to the scene. she called the -- called for service. she was ultimately arrested for domestic violence, held for several days while everything is getting worked out. several of us receive an amber alert. it was her child that had been taken by the unstable dad -- >> thank you, miss upton. thank you for that. yeah, that's a great idea,

actually. any further comment on-line items about items 3-a, b, c, or d? seeing none, public comment is closed. please call the next line item. >> good evening, vice president mazzucco, commissioners, chief scott, and members of the public. i'm pleased to provide provide you with -- provide you with a synopsis of the reports that happened over the last three-quarters. this is a combination of the third and fourth quarters.

general orders input from the community and some of our stakeholders, and more particularly as we'll hear next from the dpa, and it's collaborative effort. but what people need to know is each general order is reviewed to update technology, update changes in the law, and each department is held to these general orders. they have to train to these department general orders, and then, these sadly are sometimes the basis for discipline for officers if they don't follow the general orders. they're kind of -- i wish it was only ten. it's not only ten commandments, but they must be responsible for. that's what we do. it's a lot of work. like the captain mere, captahe

moore, who spent time revising them and bringing them up to date. next we'll hear from the dpa who's an active participant in these department of general orders review. >> thank you. good evening, vice president mazzucco, commissioners, chief scott, and members of the public. i'm just going to highlight a few of the projects that we've worked on in the next few months. in response to the do 1k3wrd's recommendations, we provided written amendations and made presentations to the sponsor working groups which involves a number of community stakeholders on bias and this was to expand the definition of bias consistent with the state law. we also suggested enhancing the department's current procedures on detentions so that officers not om would they provide their card when they stop an individual but it would have the officer's contact information as well as how to file a complaint or

commendation. we've vachbsadvanced that recommendation. i know that's under review by the police department. another thing we've done during the last six months is we've made lots of recommendations regarding tazers and the tazer review board and have attended many meetings as many of you can attest to. lastly, the last sparks report that we provided, we did substantial editing. there had been comments that it's just too lengthy and not readable, so with an eye towards really highlighting recent work and some of the dpa's outstanding policy recommendations, we tried to make it more concise, welcome any feed that you have. we hope there's a number of outstanding reportings like recording, persons and personal effects. we hope that we're able to address those recommendations in the up coming months. that concludes my report.

>> so as the public can see, our officers have to be judges who on the street have to follow the law and make quick decisions in tense situations, and follow the law. so thank you for trying to simplify it. a lot of effort goes into this, and people speak highly of your hard work in this area. dr. marshall? >> quick question. we just passed a general order regulating general orders. so i'm just wondering, you know, the -- i know you're moving as quickly as can, but it did have some time frames in that new general order. how are they interfacing? i'm just curious. did they take it, start to fly right away -- so, i mean, do you have any comment on that at all? i'm just curious about that.

wrong question? >> no, wrong person. the general order 3.01 is in the meaning confer process. that was the last action that the commission took, so we're waiting to hear back. >> you're waiting until it's really official. >> yeah skbl okay. that helps. thank you. >> thank you. >> any further questions? any public comment regarding our department general orders? hearing none, public comment is now closed. please call the next line item. [ inaudible ] >> ace, you can pretty much go. if you sing, it's got to be earth, wind, and fire, or sinatra. >> excuse me. i'm re-cooperating from surgery in the rain. if i've heard from chief scott, what you had been doing -- see, i haven't been here for the

last six months, you've changed your agenda. captain moore, i've never met her before, but obviously these are some of the things that we've been stressing for for years. excuse me for not being -- getting information, and i'm one that loves information, but what i just heard was something that soothes me a little bit: main thing that i want to stress -- and it's going to be a bomb shell, and i haven't released it yet -- oh, that i am -- that rhymes. >> even though you're still doing it, there are still pockets of bhies, racism. the general order's good, it's all good, but this is my last time for public comment, because i haven't even filed yet. i'm not one that complains our history. it's been done to me here in city hall, you all, and i

haven't revealed it yet, but because of the status that's going on, i'm not going to lump all police officers into this. there's one, amongst others, but there's one here at city hall, you all. read my memo when i release it, chief scott, because -- hold up -- all of all the good that you've done, which you've done a lot, you've got my stamp of approval, but you still amongst you here at city hall, where i've been many years, in room 200, believe me, commissioner marshall, when i drop this bomb, it's going to have to clear it up. my name is ace, and i'm on the case. >> any further public comment on these line items? hearing none, public comment is now closed. please call the next line item. >> item five, discussion and possible action to approve draft revised public order,

immigration laws for purposes of meeting and engaging with the police officers association, discussion and possible action. >> thank you very much, commission secretary kilshaw. i'm going to turn this over to our commissioners that worked on this, and that would be commissioner hing and commissioner dejesus. i want to commend them and thank them for their hard work. people in the public may not know that we're fortunate -- commissioner dejesus is a former public defender. she's a nay iftive san francis and commissioner hing is a professor -- local professor on constitutional law, so i'm going to turn the mic over to commissioner hing. >> thank you, mr. vice president. i do want to thank commissioner dejesus for cochairing the working group and also thank

the various participants in the 5.15 working group. the city attorney's office, the dpa, the various police afint groups, some of the community -- affinity groups, some of the community, asian americans for justice, the bar association, religious communities. thank you very much. i'm sure i'm leaving out a few critical people. i apologize. when -- i would like everyone in the audience to refer to the document that's dated february 8th, 2018 in the upper right hand corner. that's the most recent iteration that shows the strike out. if you don't have that, there's extra copies, so make sure you're looking at the february 8th, 2018 one.

commissioners -- well, commissioners, that was just handed out to us an hour ago. >> for the record, it was -- yeah. go ahead. >> commissioner, for the record, it was posted on-line over ten days ago and was posted with the agenda documents. >> that's correct. >> right. before i go into -- i want to do a quick overview of some of the highlights for the commission to pay attention to because we did adopt a version of this at the request of the city attorney's office back in july, so not that long ago. but i want to go over what we did and why we did that in a minute. but first, i want to turn the microphone over to the chief, who has some general comments about the general order and the city's and the police department's commitment to the sanctuary ordinance. >> thank you, commissioner hing. i want to take this opportunity just to reinforce.

i've spoken to the commission as a whole on this issue before, and the public. i want to just reemphasize that san francisco police department's commitment to ensure the public that they can report crimes and cooperate with the department without fear of anyone inquiring into his or her immigration status. as stated in the charter, we're committed to san francisco as a sanctuary city and protect the rights of everyone within ourix diction. it's our intent to foster respect between law enforcement and our communities, which is reflected in our policies, including general order 5.15, enforcement of general immigration law tz. although we've been updating this key policy in collaboration with our community and members of the police commission, the department proactively reminded our members by issuing department bulletins that reinforce administrative

section 12 h and 12 i in early 2017. in on that note, in early february 2018, we redistributed, through roll call training, all of our policies to all members requiring acknowledgement that they are aware of the strict ad heerns to th-- adherence to th order. furthermore, members shall not require individuals to produce any document as to prove their immigration status, and shall not assist with any sgs's immigration enforcement efforts, and shall not arrest or detain an individual for an administrative warrant or civil warrant based on a person's immigration status. any violation of policies

relate will be investigated and disciplined where appropriate. our community policing efforts are effective only if we have trust and respect of the communities that we are charged to protect. having local jurisdictions becomen tangled in immigration status undermines the relations that we've worked to build with our residents. this general order encompasses these principles, and i recommend the police commission adopt this general order. thank you. >> thank you, chief commissioner hing? >> thank you, chief. members of the commission and ladies and gentlemen, immigrant commutes are under siege and under attack by the trump administration, and because immigrant communities are a

vital part of san francisco, that means we are all under attack, and under siege. i don't think i'm going to -- i don't think i'm overstating this when i say that those of us in the immigrant rights community are at war. we are at war with the trump administration and we will be at war for at least three years. and -- and the importance of a sanctuary ordinance is a vital tool in that -- in that battle. when we adopted the changes that were made in july, there was testimony that evening by community members that had some critique and some comments on what we adopted that evening, and president turman committed to establishing a working group in order to respond to those suggestions, and that's what happened. so we forme a
