6:00 pm
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
6:01 pm
>> so we do an take and we measure their level of satisfaction with the process. >> mr. dejesus. >> i'm also looking at the big one. they're all dated june 13th. the statistics. i'm look agent this policy recommendation, first quarter 2018, there was a complaint of neglected duty. i'm concerned is what you are saying here is, t code, the family code states the victims of domestic violence, sexual
6:02 pm
assault will receive a copy of orttho later than five working days at the request unless the agency informs the victim for good cause and then it's 10 days. you are saying this is the bulletin 17-101 cites the wrong family code section? it doesn't noty the officers of their dut to provide an incident report. i'm just wondering if that's something you can talk to the chief with and fix the bulletin -- if this is still not fixed, to put the rht code section in and i think their recommendation is to fix that, it looks like the department bulletin so the officers are aware of it but also to implement immediately a system that provides the victims with the incident report within the statutory deadline as the california code requires. >> i just put it on my agenda. i meet with the chief tomorrow. >> good. it's something that can be easily remedies and so i don't know how long, this is the first quarter report. i don't know how long it's b like that but it's something
6:03 pm
that can be done quickly. thank you, look into that and let us know if it's completed. >> i'll let you know at the next meeting but, i meet with the chief tomorrow afternoon. >> great. >> thank you. any further questions for director henderson? please call the next line item. >> line 2c commission reports,. >> there's n fng me to report. is there anything you would like to report on? >> so, bear with me. i was late but i did attend the e.i.s. wort today and i don't know when they're coming back to report to us but they'll make a report. i think, for the new commissioners -- the early intervention system is a way to trigger -- to catch behavior before -- to be proactive and catch any officers with patterns of problematic or performance or show signs of job stress, things
6:04 pm
like that so it's a way to try to catch those officers interveneing and provide support before they make mistakes. i think we've been working with the university of chicago. we have a grant and we've been working with them. they gave a preliminary report. basically what they're saying is our e.i. ss. system is officers reaching pre defying number of trigger events with a six-month period and then it's a two-stage process and then it has to be reviewed. they're say iot a system. ey're basically saying they have a system that has an algorithm that has factors in there that puts out in order of importance a list of high-risk, medium-risk, low-risk and they can focus on that. what i did learn, is we have a
6:05 pm
grant. for some reason, they were supposed to get us a final report in january. there's been numerous delays three out early 2019. the program manager working with us left the university of chicago which is why they failed to return phone calls or maintain contact. we do have a short executive summary and they're supposed to be issuing a final report and i think there's a final report under review r n we don't know how good it will be. some of the officers were talking about we're not a paying officer other than this grant. a grant is a paying customer. i m the peopl provided that grant have to show results frot ghant and where that money went. we did talk to the staff that was there and we basically said you need to start stressing, we are a paying client and we should have results from that.
6:06 pm
the second thing is after they provide their report, we have to decide whether or not we're going to have them devel the program so that we can develop a program or we'll go somewhere else for a program. i believe there's two or three other departments they're working with. our staff is on top of it. they'll work and see how much they're talk -- it's going to be set. do you want the whole package? do you want a little bit of the package? they're looking into that. when i was concerned about is do we have -- we know this is coming. we know we're going to have some type of report and then we need to develop it. do we have a place holder in the budget for money? like the same they did with tasers when before we considered them it was a place holder in the budget for tasers assuming it was passed and i think it was under generic weapons or i'm worried that we do get a final
6:07 pm
report. we do get some type of final report and we need someone to design a pilot program and we don't have money in the budget nor did we ask for money in the budget. i understand we do ha number and we don't know fancy items we'll want in this pilot program or how to design it, maybe if we talk to c.c.o. -- the c.f.o. [laughter] yan to address that? >> we have -- actually we had thatrsatven last week in our command staff meeting with the c.f.o. about being strategic with our budget requests. when we know things like that are coming up we need to start having those discussions way in advance so we can -- when we get to budgets requests we actually have the information we need to make a thoughtful request. i don't know if we'll have the report but we're actually starting, light now, looking at what we might need for our next year's budget. this report hopefully will be
6:08 pm
out soon and give us a better idea of what we're looking at but definitely that's on the radar and we're just waiting to get the final results. >> so i have a fewe things. the d. g.o. dgo needs to be rep. we need to wait for the work and dive into it and see what areas we're lacking in or what areasdo change. i think we'llendaize it and revamping it. while i had a dpa, the attorney diana rosenscene wanste, i asker for articles for best praices for e.i. f. because we should have independent knowledge. so let's see what else, there's another thing. whether we should work collaboratively or not. there was one other issue that came up and i think the d.p.a.,
6:09 pm
right now we're gathering data and the d.p.a. is -- they're delayed in up loading their data i hope it's not going to be a problem when it comes to providing a report. underheyand t aave new i.t. dector who is stuck in backgrounds, literally stuck in theackg bund process. we need that person to help us move forwardnd the i.t. on track so we can give this data. i think chief-of-staff, is it sarah hawkins, she will meet with d.c. moeser and hopefully an get that going because that could be delaying some of the process. and the last thing, they have these great charts. i do appreciate charts. i'm a real visual person. when they do report tos, i don't know when they're coming back, but they do have pointing a gun as a use of fce. this is new. but we have 2016 data on it and
6:10 pm
2017 data on it. when they talk about the use of force stats that are here, it would be ieresting to know if they're evaluating, when they evaluate it and it comes to the threshold are ty using case law. there's case law about when you can point a gun. i wonder if they use that tool to say you know, out of 150 or 75 fall within the statutory requirements, 75 don't. i think there's a distinction, we can't have pointing a gun. iuer ife speak to youngblood oh have a parameter where we can chnd say that they fell within the probable cause or they did not fall in the probableuse bause that would help us in terms of training, seeing where we are traing and if we have a high use of pointing thei th.k we shr
6:11 pm
information on that. >> thank you. >> that's it. >> anything further commissioners? thank you fora for attending the meeting. >> late. >> you've been active in the early intervention system and it's a good system. it's a work in process. we're going to change and we're going to adapt and it's the first time i heard about the universityfhicago loosing the program director but it took a lot of effort to get that involved so let's keep working on that and i appreciate it. please call the next line item. commissioner aouncements identified for consideration and future commissioner meetings, action. >> any announcements? sergeant -- where? >> no, commissioner. >> is there anything you'd like to announce or add for future agendas? sounds like we have some things that are percolating.
6:12 pm
>> so, and maybe you can help walk me through this. if the d.g.o. 10.11 is something we're intereste mdning on procedure for doing sold and is this the appropriate line item under which to raise -- >> it would be. it is the appropriate line item saying we'd like to bring this back. but then again we generally talk about the process. because there's input from the community, the working groups, so we just don't schedule it for next week or two weeks or three weeks. we try to schedule it appropriately based upon the working groups and what we've come up with. we need to work on that department general because i don't think, unless it's clear, you need to have your cameras on. >> good evening, commissioners. this is a reminder there is a draft of the body-worn camera
6:13 pm
policy passed and you do have that on the agenda for later this evening. >> just tolarify i understand that there's -- the discuss in closed session is limited to certain parameters, right. we can't have a discussion of the need for revisions. that should happen in open session before the public, is that correct? >> what happened in open session was a discussion of what that d.g.o. revision shoook like and in cloession is giving direction to your negotiators about that same document that was passed in public. >> maybe we can have the discussion later and this is something i'm happy to shepherd through the revisions if everybody ispyap with that. depending on the discussion
6:14 pm
later and a again dies it in the future meeting and begin the process. >> it's what you saw and they'll be important to add to the process. >> anything se commissioners? commissioner elias. >> if we have an issue, maybe this is sort of procedural thing, with one of the d.g.o.s do we calender it now or i guess i'm still a little -- >> again there's a process. it depends. we review the department general orders. sometimes we do it because something has come to our attention that hasn't been changed. we'd be here all week every day working on all the department general orders. again, it depends. we've passed a lot of changes and a lot of new department general orders. so again, all of it is through a process and meet and con fir with the people that have a stake in it. >> you have a schedule of the d.g.o.s scheduled to be
6:15 pm
revised so i'm not sure if the commissioners have that document but it may be passed along to them so they know where in the pipeline. >> that is a great idea, appreciate it. anything further? i would like to add that the next commissioner meeting welcomwillb wedsday june 20th a0 p.m. >> thank you, sergeant. any call for public com publomntith reference to line items 2a, b., c.o.d. an plic reginhese line items? public comments now closed. please call the next line item. >> discussion and possible action to approve the addenda to the california department of justice and san francisco police department m.l.u. discussion and possible action. >> thank you, very much. commissioners, who have been on the commission are aware there was, from the department of justice cops, instituted the recommendations for reforms.
6:16 pm
there's a pre amble. they signed on to be subject and they wer to monitor our developments and work with our command staff and the department. unfortunately, the united states department of justice has decided that they're no longer in that business and so we were left out in the dark without. what we had we w met with , th experts were commanders, deput chiefs, frochiefs many major police departments throughout the country who had word through a lot of these reforms. we've losthat. one of the proposals was whether or not the california state department of justice can fill that role. come in and sort of monitor our progress and keep in mind the police commissione cmission is e ultimate authority of policy and pressure for the san francisco police department. it's not any other agency. it's us and that's our role that we've been chosen to do as
6:17 pm
members of the public with civilian oversight. so there was a memorandum of understanding that was entered into between city officials and the california department of justice. there waseob. commissioner turman was involved and i was involved for one meeting. we had concerns whether or not thepartment of justice had the same expertise that the united states department of justice. do they have people that have worked in this field and can help get us through i there was a memorandum of understanding that was entered into and the police commission rejected this. we've come back to the m.l.u. and commissioner hirsch took the in dealing with all the parties to basically modify thi m.o.u., which would recognize the police commission's role. the first draft that came out,
6:18 pm
kind of left us out. they seemed to forget that we are the police commission and so there's been some changes and with that in mind i'll turn it over to commissioner hirsch to explain the changes made in his recommendation. >> thank you. the problem with the m.o.u. as it was first drafted is that it ignored the commission completely and most of us did not see it until after it had been signed. i talked to president tuman and vice president and i went and met with mayor farrell. i talked to the police chief. i talked to the state d.o.j. a ld our concerns that you could not sim simile ignore thee of the commission when you were outlining what the state was going to do i terms of monitoring the work around the u.s. d.o.j. recommendations,
6:19 pm
everybody was in agree ee have now in front of us, i'm not sure who highlighted the provisions that are highlight the because they capture some but not all of the key provisions in here. it recognize the role of the commission and actually quotes from the san francisco charter under recital item b. the fact that the commission is to formulate, evaluate, approval goals, objectives, plans, ju wanted to make sure that i was included in any m.o.u. that existed between the city and the state of california. so this was the document that was eventually agreed upon. i think it's been approved b allhe parties other than the commission at this point. we inserted the commission under several provisions that indicated what work would be done, when it would be done, who was responsible for implementing and at the last provision there's a termination provision.
6:20 pm
it's a three-year document, 36 monthsut it aither side to terminate and by either side, the document identifies either the state, on the one hand, or the police chief, the commission and the mayor's office acting together on the ot hand, can terminate this document. one of the issues that came up was the fact that well, maybe the police department will want to terminate it but the commission doesn't maybe the mayor's office decided that the mayor's office wants to terminate it but the chief and commission doesn't. we were all really working ther t implement the 272 recommendations and this was the ultimate agreed upon language. so it's coming before the commission now for dcussions and approval if that's the wish of the commiion. it would be myecom rndation that we approve this and move forward. >> commissioners.
6:21 pm
>> so we got this on friday and trying to put these two things together. i really find it kind of absurd that the contractor and m.o.u. has put together and we were not a part of it. i also -- when i look a it wore just dropped into provisions of it. i'm notllyeaeady t accept this the way it is. when it tbout -- it says when the cops' -- i don't know if we're really bound by the recitals but we're dropped into the reforms and review. the mayor's office and the commission will implement all 272 recommendations. you know, i'm not really sure what that means. i'm not sure what our role or responsibility is. we do not r the departmen t ona day to day basis and we t -- u know, we do sit on some of these committees though so i'm just a little uncomfortable with that sentence there. i'm also concerned that the
6:22 pm
department will pick and hire an independent third party consultant to the d.o.j. and the commission has no input into the selection of the consultant and it just by passes us completely on that issue. i'm not comfortable with that. so it does quote the section of the charter but there is a recital that says the cops agree to conduct a review of the department analyzing policies, practices, training, tactics and systems of accountability and offer recommendations. and i guess what pops into my mind there is accountability is discipline and discipline other than 10 days it's mostly the commission that does discipline. does that mean the department of justice is going to be insert themselves in the discipline process or be part of the discipline process or review our disciplinary process. i'm not crtable with that. it says 4. 4.102 but it excludes
6:23 pm
discipline and that's a major provision that this commission does and so i don't really know how the department of justice fits into the disciplinary process in the commission. i'm alsooncerned that there's something in herebout the d.o.j. having access to this information and they will write reports open to the public so i'm just wondering if we're going to have any input no those reports to see those reports and have a draft of the report before it gives issue to the public. or are we just surprised by what they say to the public. will it concern, as i said, the commission itself, the d.o.j., separate from that -- i guess i'm really a little bit confused to what our role is. what their role it a i know it says it will not supplant. it doesn't just say the commission. it will not supplant.
6:24 pm
there's a record about supplant, serving as a independent third party reviewing reporting agency the d.o.j. will plant the roles and responsibility of the mayor, the department, the chief, the commission, or city boards commissions or officials. it doesn't define what supplant is. i'm not sure what that means. i can see us getting into a dispute over the word supplant. i'm all forward to having second eyes. it would be good for someone working for the department. i don't know if i'm signing away responsibilities and duties under the charter belong to this commission. i am also -- anyway, those are some of my concerns. as i said, i didn't participate in the full discussion. i don't really understand the full discussion as how it fits no the commission. i know we were excluded and i appreciate your trying to put us in here. it's kind of excuse my french
6:25 pm
but it's back ass to fit us into terms created by other people and we had no input. those are my concerns. >> i agree with your concerns. it wasn't the way i would have structured it but that's the way it was presented to us. let me address the issues that you raised. in terms of implementation, you raised the question about implementation. the reason that language is in there is because we ultimately approve any policy. so, all 272 recommendations that end up being approved to the extent they can be defined as policy, they come before us. and that is what that language is intended. what was your secd issue? >> do we have money for this consultant? [laughter] >> yes. the consultant is the same consultant. hillary hines is now the same people who worked with the u.s.
6:26 pm
d.o.j. are contracted to work with the state d.o.j., not only the same entity but the same human beings are coming in and they're continuing where they were. so a lot of this language was really lifted from the prior contract that was approved with the u.s. d.o.j. i don't know that the commission actually was involved in that. i think the mayor's office did it. the mayor's office did this as well. mayor lee wanted to contact the state and that's what he ended up doing. so hillard hines is already has a working agreement and they're just stepping into the shoes they had filled previously. discipline is not set by any other entit besides the commission. i'm working right now on developing a revised disciplinary matrix that will come before the commission one day for approval and be subject to negotiations with union. that is not something that is contemplated, although the state will look, i think, just as the
6:27 pm
u.s. government looked at what kinds of discipline we're meeting out for what kinds of violations. they can weigh in on that. the reports -- they'll be working groups. there are meetings next week that, three or fewer commissions are free to attend. they will be regular working groups when the state comes in and interviews people or goes through documents. they will circulate their reports to us. we welcome the fact they're being made public. that's partly, i think, what the ydanas to g the public confidence that an outside agency has no a fillation with us is looking and reporting out to the public as to what they were doing. pplanting.uestion was are they supplanting our role and the answer is no and we made it clear to them they can't. i don't think they're looking to do that.
6:28 pm
they understand what the charter and the san francisco says. there's no consent decree that requires them and gives them unique authority. they're coming in at the invitation of the city and they have to operate within the statues of the city >> so will they -- i'm sorry, go ahead. i'm still not comfortable. i just need to understand this more. i got it on friday and was put it would go and two together and these are my questions. >> i might recommend if we don't do anything tonight, whether we do or not, you should come or troy to come to some of the meetings next week that the state is holding. >> when are they? >> we'll get you the schedule. >> wait a minute. those are the kind of things. do weave notice, they have a meeting notice and we're getting -- because i want us to sign this tonig'm told for the first time they have meetings and we're invited to come but we dn't ppate in setting the meetings and we didn't know it was being set. i have no knowledge of it being
6:29 pm
set. it's like an afterthought. it's ok, i can take the insult away of being an afterthought. for them to schedule meetings and we're not included at the outset is concerning. >> i agree with you but i think we may b inclu i know that vice president and i have a meeting on thursday. just it's an informational meeting with the state d.o.j. and they're going to ask us about our view of the reforms so far, although i don't know that for sure. they have meetings, i think, monday, tuesday, wednesday before that with various groups. i think they're meeting with the chief and the p.o.a. andeeting with d.p.a. they're doing fact-finding right now. and this is exactly what you folks went through with the u.s. d.o.j. this is how -- they're pretty much following the same process. >> i heard that he was going to oversee the 272 recommendations.
6:30 pm
some of them are not policy. some of them are implement and design a website. so that your applicants know what you are doing. call your applicants and keep them in touch. those are some that have nothing to do with policy. there's a lot of --[ please tant bpleasestand by ]
6:31 pm
was concluded by the federal government. our goal is to continue the work. as you know, as the commission knows. when the work was concluded we were to do a report that was never published. we have to start over. the work tth u.s. d.o.j. did is sealed. we don't have access to it. the contractor doing the work will be the same contractor they are familiar with. they did the original assessment. there is no agreement to redo the assessment that has been
6:32 pm
done. what we are tryin tryin to do ie forward with the work. there is a mountain of packages completed that needigned off by us and reviewed by the commission. we want to get the public report out as soon as we can in terms of letting the public know what we are doing and how we are progressing with those 272 reforms. there is no intention to exclude the commission out of this, and there is a commission representative involved. as the commissioner says as long as under three that is open door for the commission to participate. as the chief of police i want to get the work done. triwe to structure this as much as we could closely to the prior mou. as commissioner said that is what we want to do is keep that
6:33 pm
promise as closely as possible with the prior agreement that is why the language is the way that it is. there is nothing supplanting the commission's role in this. we take direction and guy dan from the police commission. we want to move forward with the work. >> agaiou know, i'm a week into this and i akot of things happened before i got here, i know i think i commissioner jesus' concern as to why this whole process took place before we were invited in and then basically because we pushed our way in or demanded. how is that the aropriate -- i'm concerned that the
6:34 pm
commission -- i don't know if supplants is the right word. it does callinto question, i think the straightforwardness with which whoever put all of this together dealt with us. we are the body that sits and handles t policies and so forth for the police department. i think we would have been the tall, not the last call, in putting this together. i am concerned that we have come in as afterthought and essentially say, you know, please let us come in and let us see what you are doing. let us know what is going on. to me it calls int question the faith with which this process occurred. i don't know anything about the process. ihink we should have been a
6:35 pm
part of it since the beginning. we should have had the opportunity to discuss this as a commission in public so that the community could be aware of the decisions we are mi. these reforms are wonderful. everybody is on board and excited. we want to do these but we have to maintain, you know, some of the big goals of the d.o.j. stpo century policing, trust, accountability, transparency. i am not feeling like this process was lives up to those goals. i have concerns. i don't know the remedy. i don't know if this is something we should delay and have more time for those of us that don't know to get up to speed. it sounds like vice president mazzucco and commissioner hurst
6:36 pm
worked on this. eee ttake the lead, but i think it would be helpful for the rest of us or some of us to know a little more about the process and to be sure that we are going to be the police commission. >> let me help you out. we were taken by surprise when the mou first came to the commission. we unanimously rejected it for the reasons you have stated. after that rejection, myself and commissioner metstith mayor farrell. we expressed concerns. we are the police commission, why you can't have the ceremony an we didn't participate in that. there was no commissioner present. we weren't signatory re. we met with the mayor.
6:37 pm
what are your concerns, he said? commissioner hurst explained. this left us out. you are not alone. it was unanimous. it was 7-0. the commission was not happy with this. next was commissioner hurst going in to put this in a form to recognize our role pursuant to the charter what we have been doing. that is the process taking place for commissioner hurst has met with these folks and put them on the format that he feels and i feel comfortable with it, too. it recognizes who we are. i agree for the new commissioners this is the first time you are seeing this. it would be wise to put this over for a week. if you have any questions to speak to cioneommiss hurst,
6:38 pm
myself other the city attorney. we were caught by surprise when it came to the commission. when the mou was entered with the cops there was no participation with the commission. that wasn'tter into in an emergency situation when things had to be done without ut. everybody was pleased with having the cops come in. there was no objection. we need a comfort level as a commission, as a body with what the cornia d.o.j. is doing. making it clear where we stand in this. we went to the city attorney and said you can't enter into the document and excludes the commission and here is why. we didn't say could you please include us? we haven't addressed it that way with anybody. i suggest we put it over for two weeks and let the commissioners uncomfortable with the process
6:39 pm
and what is happening to get in on the meetings next week to learn for yourself what is happening. all we are trying t do is get back to where w were. we lostomenm for too much time. we need to get back. >> the reforms are happening. i have to thank commissioner hurst. he has put us in the position where i feel comfortable with it now and i didn't feel comfortable. we made that clear to the mayor and city attorney.
6:40 pm
i suggest we put this over. >> could i add if we put it over for a minimum of two weeks the next available date will buy july 11th due to the holiday and us being dark. >> we need next week for the commissioners to get educated. >> thank you for your work in taking the lead on this. i echo the comments also as well. scott i think the reality is it is the situation. my request at this point would be that we are informed of the meetings that are upcoming and what the agenda for the meetings are so that we are aware when and where they wil will take ple so we can cover that. that is beneficial to be able to
6:41 pm
finalize this agreement. >> i agree. it is great to have the new commissioners here. again, the chronology helps. it is a long way. we want your input. >> what we need to do is put this over to the next available meeting to give the commissioners time to look at this. it is now time for public comment regarding the inaction on this matter to put it over. any public comment regarding line item 3 with reference to the mou of the state department of justice. good evening magic, how are you? >> i was taken by surprise when i heard the state announce they were taking over on the news that is the first i heard about it. i follow what happens here consistently. i appreciate the work done. i agree the two weeks at least and that we are clear about what the agreement is because i have found the process is really never over.
6:42 pm
if the process is not in place and how we are doing this, how do we have clear discussions how to enforce all of this. i really appreciate you are taking time and standing up strongly so the checks and balances of the system are in place? >> public comment is now closed. please call next line item. >> general public comment regarding items not on the agenda but within the subject matter of the commission. speaker shall address the remarks as a whole not to individual commissioners or personnel. under the rules of order neither police nor dpa personnel commissioners are required to respond to questions of the public. individual commisser and dpa personnel should refrain from entering into debates or
6:43 pm
discussion. director davis, how are you? >> hello everyone. cheryl davis human rights commission. i actually wanted to drop off a few of the cfi booklets. i will e-mail sergeant kilshaw. the white paper from stanford, i wanted to share with you all which i realize i have met with chief scott, and we are planning for the summer. what i realized when i have to recognize the director henrson invites me every week to these wonderful meetings. i always say no. tonight i am here. i wanted to share with you all a snapshot of the report from stanford on the program that we do each year with the police department, and i also wanted to share that the san francisco
6:44 pm
foundation and silicone valley foundation have given us a little bit of money to pilot this regionally. we will this summer do a small realize that when i arrived in here that we haven't effectively, i haven't been great about making a connection to turn the work directly with the police commission. i had worked in the past with susie loftus to be engaged. i continued that partnership with the commissioner thurman. i have not continued that is i want to have young people here to shareith you during the summer and tecogni and it is funny it is all full circle. it started with vice president mazzucco years ago with project safe neighbo.ds looking forward to working with
6:45 pm
