at this crowd and say he is proud of you. in fact, we ask all of you to live up to his expectations. two weeks ago on wednesday night he stood in front of the police commn, bissioely was able to stand for the pledge of alce. then after when he was being honored he said something very important for you-all to hear. i'm very proud of the men and women of the san francisco police department. so behalf of julius i share that with you tonight. i would like to thank mayor ferrell, the supervisor stefani dressheey for recognizing ing the crisis that we are facing with staffing. i've been on the police commission for a long time as both a state and federal prosecutors here in san francisco so i'm aware of the need for policing. given the curre state of our criminal justice and mental health systems, our officers can barely respond to the calls for service. they are busy dealing with repeat offenders and people in mental health crisis. by adding these police officers

to our police department it will make the street saferor our citizens and those who visit our there's days when i walk from the parking garage to my office crisis, people shooting up.y th it's not acceptable and the o way we can address that is adding to our women power and men power of the san francisco police department. this is a great move. we as a commission thank the mayor and the board of supervisors for putting this forward. with this it will give our officers more of an opportunity to be involvedn community policing and, yes, proactive policing. so mayor ferrell, thank you on behalf of the citizens of san francisco. this is great and this is long over due. thank you very much. >> [applause] >> thank you. with that i'd like tong two supervisors who have been

talking about public safety since literally the day they an supervisor katherine heehey stefani. >> thank you, mayor ferrell. welcome to district i'm sooud have the acadey n my dstrict. it's ace ur joy for me. i want to thank mayor ferrell for his leadership in putting this forward. so last year as i came into office one of the things that i identified almost immediately was a gap in public safety res. i raised this with the budget and finance committee and was the voice in the erness. so i am so grateful that mayor ferrell has put this initiative forward. i'm also grateful to chief scott. some of the innovations are tied to our need f additional officer. the tactics that have reduced

police officer involved situatihave calmed down but those tactics require more boots on the ground. the second thing is foot patrols. so in my district we now have foot patrols ohen t castro. i know those guys, those folks. it's great the see them. people in the community know them. we had an incident at twin peaks. ofurcers assigned to -- so after the incident at twin peaks before the --efdentt twin peaks murder, we had ten car break-ins a day. after officers were assi there for the following month one. so presence is prevention. in dolores park we had an inciden the chief, other city departments, officers have been assigned to dolores park. every single neighbor surrounding that park talks about how improved that situation is. this is by having forces there, people there.

it makes our neighbor safer. very d i talk to peo in my district saying whenan c w g a fo ro officere can see. this will make that possible, not just in my district b across the city. i want t give a shot out to folkse today. i have been to graduations of academy classes and i have so much respect for the work that you're going to be trained. it's amazing. you put in such hard work. i am so proud, i wanted to shake your hand when you get that badge pinned on you. i'm even prouder when i see people who had a badge pinned on them, whose hand i shook and see them walking the beet in my neighborhood. thank you forppingup and protecting the citizens of san francisco. a outstanding. the more we graduate the prouder i'll be so thank you.

i'd like to introduce my colleague, supervisor stefani. morningeveryonego i held my public safety forum in district 2 because the bottom line is people don't feel safe. whether it is because of our past crime epidemic, reports of a 7th grader being mugged on h way home from school or the ramped trueiram ramped drug use we see on our streets, we must do more to keep the people of san francisco safe. i believe that we have underinvested for years. today's announcement by mayor ferrell is a hug tht right direction. what i love about mayor ferrell's approach is it is thoughtful and designedo saturdays -- address san francisco's current needs, to help the homeless delivering

help to the city's operation center and to equip our police force with the resources they need like working patrol cars to do their job and to help keep us safe. our focus should be on recruiting the best and the brightest by training our officers with all of the reforms that we've all been trying to implement. i have beenoincredibly lucky in my 12 years of public service in this city to work with some of sfpd's finest, captain dylan, commander manox, captain silverman, captain yep, officer matt loray and so many more. these individuals have truly helped shape my view of how incredible our police department is and how much talent we have here. i just want to thank all of you

for stepping up and doing your part. i've also been a prosecutors and i've worked with so many police officers that have always shaped my view that police officers are good and we need them i can't thank you enoughor your service. i want to thank the mayor, chief scott and the command staff for their hard work and thoughtful analysis on the invests that we as a city need to make in the department. i just want to tell one quick story in my direct. so many times we hear the negatives. the other day someone said i have to tell you what happened to me with a police officer. i got a pounding on my door at 7:00 in the morning and i went out there and i saw a police car and i was so nervous. they open it had door and the police officer said -- opened ther and the police officer said, dpd is going to do some care and towed your car. they asked them to move their

car and saved them $600. there's so many stories about how important your work is. it's my hope as w increase our force we also do so in a way that bridges any divides with ou comunities and that we work together to create an environment where everyone feels safe and cared for. that is what san francisco is all about and i absolutely thank you for your service to our city. thank you. >> [applause] >> thank you, vooup -- supervi supervisor. as mayor i want to thank you for your service. we are proud of you. we look forward to years of service ahead. so that's going to conclude our press conference. we'll be in the side room if any media wants to talk to us after wards off camera. thank you all for being here today. >> [applause]

program where private professionals mostly from technologyanizatns are partnered with city agencies to solve problems. as you know, we have been a little behind in our technology with the department. we have come up to speed quickld software. bridging that gap not just in the internal organization but external interaction with committee. this is a big deal. we applied earlier on and didn't get in the program. we are excited about that. i will give you more updates as we shape what the project will be. we expanded training with investigators. i want to make sure my staff was getting both internal and external training. one thing we did in may we brought in from the police department to watch some of the films of the officer involved. we invited the officers involved

to the behavior science unit for the panel discussion talking about perspective of officers engaged in uses of force and specifically with officer-involved shootings. it was good training for my staff to attend. we also did a couple more outreach opportunities for the office. i am trying to expand to make sure more people in the community know about what the agency does and how we do it. we participated in housing expo at city college, and we went to a city wide public safety forum. the mediation director attended that sponsored with the board of supervisors. this wk we will have a booth to support the june celebration. they will see us png

we have a couple of investigator positions coming in. we are interviewing for senior positions for those investigators as well. iwork a g with the mayor's office tod ten budgeis week. i am sure i will see many of the departments there with me. i will keep everyone updated. we have asked for a lot of backfill dollars to not just expand the office but to do the work we need to do and specificallymalking about the great needs we had with prop

g. we had to fill spaces and hire specifically auditors to do the work. we have the work started. i am going to have to write a check at some point. i need to get through the budget process to continue the work. present with me from the agency is our chief of staff sarah hawkins and a new attorney. i think i introduced her di diaa rosenstein and the senior investigator and three interns are here wh me. marcus kennedy, brittany and camille from uc berkeley. at the end of thesh summer -- summer i will ask them to do a presentation to you. i want to introduce them to you. can we put them on tv?

everyone is a celebrity here at sfgov.tv. >> thank to you the interns. it is a great way to spend your .er share with us your input. you are looking at it from a different pair of eyes. it is encouraging and refreshing to see what yourhts thougre. director henderson we have two new commissioners. when possible would it be possible to meet with the commissioners at the dpa and have them walk around to talk to folks. i really strongly suggest this at one point that it wasn't allowed. i think you will allow it. >> yes. i have been trying to do that this week. i had a little problem. i wanted to do that before today. >> it will be good to see the

hard work and effort at the dpa. commissioner. >> thank you. director henderson. in your first quarter report that you were referencing there is a section on page 5olicalysie successes and some of the opportunities for change. i wonder if you can explain and it identifies body-worn cameras. you identified the policy goals. >> which page? >> page 5. starting page 5 in the last paragraph going on page 6. it identifies three goals in maly involving officers

viewing both their body-worn cameras as well as other officers' body-worn cameras in ois's and in custody deaths and the elimination of the requirement to produce an initial statement in criminal matters and then thirdly the expressly prohibiting officers from interfering with the functions of the body-worn camera audio and visual. as a new commissioner, can you tell me where things are with these goals and are still working to enact them and is that something we can do? it seems to me and i think ms. elias and i would have a

fair amount of subject matter expertise. these are things we have seen as problematic both to public offenders and dtrict attorney is not happy about the status as well. >> that's correct. i don't know. i haven't seen the district attorney's complete list. these are issues they raised in the past. we are operating the dpa independently. we have identified these as top three issues in regards to the body-worn camera issues. i will say these issues have not gone away. to the department's credit, these are issues we have been in discussions myself personally with the chief and talked about the things as well evolving the policy as it stands now. what happens we rollouts the initial policy then what you are see anything the reports are feedback from transgressions we have specifically observed over

the course of complaints that have been made. just to clarify what thatksoo like we will make these policy types of recommendations independent of complaints we may get a complaint about something else. we will notice the transgressions or nee for improvement about things that play out when we see the body-worn camera films or evidentiary lated to cases. that is part of why we public the reports so we cane the open discussions and present to the commission and figure out the next steps. these have been things specifically those three issues. when and who can see the body-worn camera footage before or after making a statement, manipulation of the cameras. the chief talked about this. we have talked about it at length and he has solutions in the pipeline forhe things. this is how it is supposed to

operate to present to the commission and to have a discussion about the next steps because of the things i have raised in these reports. >> what i want to understand is what would be and it sounds like these are still policy goals for you that ihink are probably shared by a lot of us in the criminal justice field, and i want to know that the procedures and processes are moving forward to adoing these in revisions of the dgo10.11. >> i would love that. they don't let me vote. if you did, i'm ready to vote right now. that is why i raised them. next step all three of these things dpa says, let's do that. that is my vote. >> we are getting to the point where this should be on the agenda. i apologize to both parties. what i will say is when we did

pass this department general order we raising the issues for the discussion and contemplation. am i raising issues this is a circumstance that needs to go sooner rather than later. so we know the issues out of the work for the commission to see and consider relevance or not. >> i want to understand the numbers on the first page of

your first quarter report under subsection a am i to understand out of 112 closed complaints, nine complaints were found to be sustained giving you an 8% sustained rate. 10 3colainsere unfounded? i am not sure how the numbers are works out. to me that means a 92% rate, not we, you have a 92% rate unsustained complaints. i am confused. >> there is a breakdown. you don't have it in front of you. a case that isn't sustained doesn't necessarily mean it is unfound. a lot of things go into the complaints that come intoe office. a large percentage of the complaints come in and i think last year there were over 400 of

them. we don't have jurisdiction of. people will come in. you are getting all of the numbers here without the full piechart what is explained in depth and in the annual report which you should gettex week. it is a full breakdown to break down these numbers. i put in these reports the summation of things sustained. those are the things you are reviewing. the cases that come in that aren't sustained don't just go away. i think that is what you are asking. they are not going away. often times they raise other issues that get reported as policy recommendations. even if we can't prove it, with the commission they are issues that come up independent of what is being said to us that makes

sense. >> the breakdown of the numbers are somewhere we will review. >> my concern is that this was under the old leadership. it was a complaint the department was. they weren't responding to the citizens complaints. the citizens weren't beingard. i kno have heard all of these issues that sort of seem to have transpired prior to your lead.ip i want to know the step the department was taking to address those to make sure we don't fall into that pattern. >> that is a question. i won't tie everyone up with all of the things we are doing. we are readdressing how we do things. how we intake. how we are making it easier. keep in mind the complaintspeops their name. we want to that okay, too.

that shines the light on behaviors to make recommendations. there is a whole big process that goes into taking t complaints and holng them accountable. ink you have more dted d qoui see the full breakdown of what the percentages are for the types of complaints, how each one is handled and what the results are which are all alluded to in the report. it is hard to dance between that from this summation. this summation was to talk be which is the sustained rate. the question is your sustained rate going down or up? how effectively are the new processes working? i think we willee that when you see the numbers. i could talk all night about what we have been doing to improve the outcome and the

transparency for the agency in terms how we interact with the community making the complaints. i don't want to tie it up. i think you would rather tie it to specific numbers. i will get the numbers. you can see them in the annual report. do you have a breakdown as to the outcome or the resolution or how you sort of track how successful these mediations are? >> yes, and i will say that the mediation is our hhest rated, one of our highest rated elements for the program, but there is no stock answer. we are pro actively creating a

case approach with each case with mediation. one complaint may be a sit down t in the arrest or transgression. another may involve the captain or chief or the district commander saying something about this policy is wrong and we changed it because of what you have said. this is how it works. people walk away. it is restorative justice. we want them to walk away whole the officer and the community involved. that is the remedy accepted by the individual that is bringing the complaint. s to quantify it specifically because each one is unique. what we have been doing this may

speak to the question you are asking is over the past few months now we brought in specific new personnel deal with neediation expand the role. you are n nger limited to the apology or written letter saying this should not happen. we want there to be the ability so there ishe specific training and subjective beyond what is at the academy to say this needs to be some bias training. please stand by for realtime captioning.
