i have to say, you know, we probably do not dish -- did not start off on the best wet on the board of supervisors when you were sworn in. i think that one of the things i love about serving on this board are the unexpected friendships that emerge and develop. and i have to say i have a tremendous amount of respect for you. you have taken positions that were incredibly difficult and i have talked to you through a lot of your decision-making processes. to see how firmly you believe in representing and being independent, even inputting, you know, yourself on the line out there for criticisms, for loss of friendship and social connections. to say that you really think this is the right thing to do. it's not an easy thing to do. i have not often see -- seen elected officials take positions as independently as you do. i want to appreciate your willingness to do this on the

board of supervisors. i look forward to your next step i don't want to thank your family and your community and your office as well. -- i want to thank your family and your community and your office as well be one thank you supervisor can. i will jump in and have the party members have their last word. i wanted to take a moment to recognize michelle and say thank you. i particularly remember your mother, when she hurt herself on inauguration day. she was so kind and lighthearted and loving. and she was really careful not to take away from his day as she sat on the side of the curb, nursing a broken wrist. that is quite a woman. i also recall your remarks on the day of the swearing in. it was very noble. you left me with the impression

about what service meant to you and what you were looking to get done on the board of supervisors. i have to tell you, particularly as a result of the ending of the election or se election was coming to an end to, something changed and you. you really began to mature and get a rhythm. as a supervisor and perhaps it was the stress of not having to run. perhaps it was a stress of not having to take political calculations. you are actually left to legislate. you are left to legislate with not only your mind, but your heart. that became very evident in the last, two months. i want to compliment you on that and acknowledge that you are a solid man and there is no secret to you and i have not seen eye to eye during the course of your

time on the board of supervisors. i have it recognized a phenomenal amount of growth and awareness. and your willingness to step into a role that you had some hesitancy for, at first. i think that is a compliment to your character and a testament to values that your parents instilled in you. and i'm sure it values you are instilling now in michelle. so i want to say congratulations. you are free of this place. you should celebrate and definitely have a good time. i want to pave it to my colleague and my sister and my friend. and sometimes my foe, ladies and gentlemen. i want to recognize, it has been tremendous to watch a mayor elect grow up, quite frankly, right before our eyes. do you remember the first time we nominated her to be the board

president? the brash tossed -- trash talking that took place on her first election? and now you her first election? and now you have morphed into a very polished dignified homegi homegirl. you have not lost who you serve. that is really important to keep in mind that you love san francisco and you love the folks. not only in district five, but i can attest to the love that you have for every member of san francisco. even those that you disagree. those who have been hurtful and disrespectful. you still have found a certain level of -- you demonstrated a certain level of decency to rise above and to be magnanimous but to be very gracious and thoughtful. i'm looking forward to working with you. i'm looking forward to sparring with you as you get ready to occupy the mayor's office.

it is quite exciting to be a native san franciscan and grow up and see how life has dealt you a series of cards and how you have slated them. and you have played to them while. last night, ladies and gentlemen, there was an interfaith service of the historic third baptist church and san francisco and it was a phenomenal outpouring of love from every member of every faith community here in san francisco. everyone got together and we sang and we prayed and i think that it was a really powerful and a moment that we could come together and rejoice. so not to put any pressure on you but i'm looking forward to a fantastic speech tomorrow. to fire everyone up and get us excited and to get us motivated to stay connected. i am incredibly optimistic and will certainly be helpful in

bridging whatever gaps that need to be bridged. i offered my hand in service and thank you for your continued service and leadership in san francisco. i want to recognize the supervisors and then we will recognize mayor elect breed. >> thank you for your kind words and supervisor came and all of my colleagues. i deeply appreciate everything you said. it's been an honor to serve with you. i do think you have to be slightly mentally ill to want to do this job. you know, wiki we do not know what the workload -- people do not appreciate what the workload is and what the sacrifice is. it has been an honor to serve with you. i want to commend mayor breed. her leadership, as long as i've been on the board, has been phenomenal. as a board president, obviously

iit has been a choppy mix of individuals and to get your leadership stood above the fray and held us all together. even when we did not agree. we are truly grateful for the leadership. we certainly deeply look forward to being a civilian and a resident of san francisco. and the leadership as you take our city forward to. we had tremendous challenges. i know you are more than up to handling the challenges. you have amazing grace which you bring to everything you do. thank you. it's been an honor to serve under your leadership. i do want to, you know, we can't forget mayor lee. this has been such a huge honor to have been appointed by him and -- i think we still feel

that tremendous loss. i did want to give a shout out to my family. i thank you, all of you for acknowledging. this has been a new sacrifice for them. my daughter is giving me the look. the poor thing has been introduced to more staff. she said do not mention me and do not bring me up on stage. do not point at me. all of you who have kids, you will have that moment when you are on the trail or at an event and they will reach that point where they have had enough. i also want to thank my staff. they have done a tremendous job. i also want to acknowledge the tremendous work of the city agencies, you know, from the director down to the people doing the work.

they have been so amazingly professional and so responsive, and so hard-working. it really is a very very difficult for me to hear people denigrate the work of our public servants. because they truly have been amazing. i want to give a shout out to the clerk who has been a friend for 20 plus years. many great staff. how well they serviced the board and work with the board has been a tremendous honor to reconnect after all these years. and lastly, i want to thank the supporters and friends in the district and around the city who have been here for me. it has been a joy to work together and make things better for the city. i am grateful for their support and for the ability to create these new relationships as well as old ones that i have had for 20 plus years. thank you. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. supervisor breed? >> supervisor breed: thank you. i say this every time i speak.

us still does not feel as if it is real. i am so grateful to the people of san francisco for supporting me. and i am so grateful to all of you for working with me and supporting me as the board president. and fighting the good fight for the residents of this city. as elected officials, unless you have been one, you really don't understand exactly the challenges that we face, because you can't please everyone. not everyone is going to like you. not everyone is going to do what you want them to do. and what i noticed about this board and what made me so proud to be part of it, is we stand our ground. we do what we think is best and we try to fight for the people we represent every day.

we put ourselves out there to ridicule to the drama and to the praise is sometimes. and at the end of the day, what is so amazing as a result that we are able to get. the good results when we work wd together like we did with inclusionary housing and the changes we made. this has been an incredible experience. one that i never thought i'd have an opportunity to be part of. and i am so excited and optimistic about the future of this city. i noticed that the supervisor looks a lot happier now. and i know how hard you worked. i know how deeply you care about the work that you do for the residents of this city. and i appreciate everything that you have done. all the sacrifices that you made

to allow this opportunity to occur. i want to thank you for your service. not just on the board, but as supervisor kim broke down step-by-step, all of the work at all of the advocacy that you have done for your entire career. it is not just about the board. it is about everything. this is part of who you are. your service means so much to so many people. you made a tremendous impact on the city. i say thank you. i know you are going to civilian life. who knows. your mayor may call you to service again. who knows. he is looking at me like i don't think so, honey. thank you supervisor kim for your support in working with me on the board and also being a fierce candidate on the campaign trail. i know that we will work well together as i move into this office. i'm looking forward to the time and the things that we will hopefully be able to accomplish. there is a lot of work to do. you care deeply about many of

the things that i care about your brand equity and and housing and how we will make sure that people who constantly are not at the table are not forgotten. i'm looking forward to that work that i know we will be able to do together. you drive me crazy, but i know if i can't remember something or i want to know something about something that happened ten or 20 years ago, i can pick up the phone and you know everything. you have that incredible institutional knowledge. you are the grandfather of the board of supervisors even though you are not the grandfather age. maybe you are. the fact is, you bring so much to this body. when you became a member of the board, i was like, oh, my god. i have to work with aaron peskin. lord, jesus. help me. i have been pleasantly surprised

by how well we work together and how much we have in common and how much i look forward to working with you on matters that we both care about. i know that will continue and i will not forget about this board. i will not forget about each and every one of you. and i am looking forward to, you know, a new start for us. so that we can get to a better place. because you are district, especially in the mission, we have a lot of work to do. i want to make sure that we continue to do that work. i look around the mission district and i don't recognize it anymore. and i want to make sure that we do all that we can in san francisco to make sure that people who feel the same way and feel they are being left out are not forgotten. i am looking forward to that working relationship. my little brother, even though you are older than me, i think

you are. supervisor safai we first met when we were working at the housing committee. were trying to get 300 units torn down. i was fighting every day to get families back into public housing from other places that many of my family members and community members had been dis- -- been displaced to. you were always there. you are there for your conspiracy -- constituents now and for the people of san francisco. you are nosy so you know everything and you are involved in so many things. that is good for a supervisor. you make sure that your community is not left out. you make sure that we are making good policy decisions. not just for the district before the city as a whole. that means something. i am so glad you are on the board and i am looking forward to working with you for years to come. supervisor stefani, you know, i

always say this. the best thing that came out of the situation that occurred was having you as a colleague on the board of supervisors. i am so glad that you are here. i am glad to have someone like you on the board of supervisors. gun violence and what we asked -- what i experienced, i get emotional every time i think about the hundreds of friends and family members in the western addition alone. that does not include the bayview and what has been happening most of my life. losing people on a regular basis to gun violence and the work that you have done. the national work. and what we all need to do together to address this issue is something i care deeply about. i know you are an advocate for that and so many other amazing things. i am looking forward to your future on this board. i know that you will continue to do a great job for the residents

of your district and your city. supervisor fewer, thank you so much for your patience with me sometimes. let me say this about you. she was the one member of the board that, as soon as i asked her, what committees would you like to be on, she said these are the ones i like, but put me on any committee that you need to. i thought, huo. this is a rare breed indeed. a rare person. she was willing to serve and to be supportive and as helpful as she could. and every committee she put her halt her all into it. i want to thank you for making my life easy and thank you for your advocacy and your work on the board. i am looking forward to working on a number of issues around equity with you. i know that you care about that deeply and i want to make sure that our department in the city has a way to look at things

through an equity lens. at how we hire and how we do things all over the city that we deal with income and inequality in the number of other issues that you care deeply about. i am looking forward to working with you on those issues. and supervisor tang, you know, it has been a long journey. when you first got on the board, i didn't know much about you. i was sad that carmen was leaving and i wasn't going to get a chance to work with her. i am so grateful for the time adds the friendship that we developed over the years and working on things together. and how much you care about san francisco and you care about it's residents and how actively engaged you are with the residents of your district and how much they love you. i know that this will be your last year and i am heartbroken. i know that you will still continue to be actively engaged in some capacity and serving the

city. thank you for your friendship and thank you for your service to san francisco. supervisor ye, my fellow galileo lion. we are -- we've come a long way since galileo. was mr wang there when you were there to each week we know? he is retiring. as shout out. but supervisor ye, thank you for always opening the door for me and being available for me to meet with you. your advocacy on children and issues around childcare and the things that, you know, often times are easy for people to forget or to neglect. you always bring those things to the forefront and you don't compromise on those matters. you know that it matters to the people who need it the most. and so i want to thank you for your service here on the board. we came on together and i am

really looking forward to continuing to work with you on things and i know you will care about these things. we will work together as a maker. you get what i am saying. and you could actually come to my office. that is what will happen as mayor, you know, you all will have the ability, if i am available to meet with me or to call me any time. just like you did as board president. i will do everything i can to get back to you in a timely manner. president cohen, i love it saying madam president. thank you for your work on the board. what is interesting is watching you over the past couple months get fired up about some of the issues, you have gotten fired up all throughout the course of

your career on the board. but you are just on fire like never before on every issue. whether it is house a, police reform, transportation, all of those things, you know, we need someone to be fired up. we need someone to care about these issues and we need a leader like you to make sure that the board continues to move forward in the right direction. i am proud of the work you have done here. i am proud of what you have done to represent the residents of district ten. often times with not a lot of appreciation. but the work needs to get done. you have been the right person to move it forward and get it done and represents the constituents of your district in what i think is an admirable way. i appreciate your advocacy and appreciate your friendship. i don't appreciate your drama with me when we don't agree, but, hey, we work out our issues and we work through it. that is what it is about. it is always about the bigger picture. it is always about the people we represent.

it is always about good policy or trying to move our city forward. i think that is what sometimes gets lost in politics. even if someone may not agree, we are trying to move forward good policies that helped change things for the better for our residents and for the people of san francisco. i appreciate your leadership in that effort and i am looking forward to working with you as mayor and as president of the board. i am just excited about the future of san francisco and i am hopeful that i will be able to continue to work with all of you across the hall and i also want to say something about two amazing people, not just angela and the clerk -- clerk of the board who put up with me and so many things. and was very patient and angela,

you are amazing and you are a wonderful clerk. you and your team and what you all do to help the president, to help the rest of the board is absolutely incredible. and it is not always appreciated. i want you to know that i really appreciate you and the work that you have done here at the board and how you have helped me through the process of president. it means a lot and you will continue to serve the president well. thank you for your advocacy and your support in this chamber and always keeping us on the straight and narrow as it relates to the rules of the board chamber. and john gibbon or, i don't know if he is here. there we go. john gibbon are, you know, he is a great city attorney. at deputy city attorney. whatever you want to title it. he has been amazing. he is always available and

the chamber and taking care of the public. i want to thank ben for his work as a controller. the city departments and all the people who basically contribute to making sure that we are able to do the business of this city and this chamber. so many parts of the pieces of the puzzle come together and there are so many people that play an important role of bringing those pieces together. so i am really excited about tomorrow. i am grateful to each and every one of you. i look forward to a better san francisco i know that none of s is perfect but as a person who is responsible for leading this city, i commit to you that i will do everything i can add to -- can to make a unifying voice. for someone who works with you

and provides an opportunity for us to make together -- work together and talk about those issues. we know politics sometimes is a politics and politics will never go away. but at the end of the day, i want to know that i will do everything i can to put the politics aside for the purposes of running the city and doing a good job so we can all be a proud of the results that we get because of the work we are doing here for the residents of our city. i want to thank each and every one of you looking forward to tomorrow and i can't wait to roll up my sleeves and get started. thank you. >> supervisor cohen: thank you very much. we need to approve these remaining resolutions, item 28 and 29. i want to point out that this will be, i will call for a roll call vote and this will be the

>> vp commissioner mazzucco call roll. [roll call]

you have a quorum present mr. paul henderson and chief of police william scott. >> ladies and gentlemen welcome to the wednesday june 20, 2018 san francisco police commission meeting please call line item one. >> reports to commission discussion. a, chief report, report on recent police department activities including major events. >> before we go forward i forgot to say at the beginning, we have lengthy closed session agenda. we're going to limit public comment to two minutes

>> line item one, report of discussion, choose report on recent police department activity weekly crime including staffing current staffing levels and overtime and announcements. >> good evening chief scott. >> i will start off with crime. starting with violent crime. homicides specifically. last week i reported that we had between homicides year to date. it was actually homicides. there was one that was actually out of the city resulting from an i want that started in the city but ended up with a death outside of the city. that is actually not homicide. should be on our statistics. year to date, we have 19 homicides as compared to 33 this time last year which is 42% reduction homicides.

shooting victims we have total of 70 gunshot victims and that is a 17% reduction from last year. we had 84 at this time last year. with firearms we are nine compared to 23 for last year at this time. which is a 61% reduction. of homicides with firearms. those numbers will continue to try to craft our strategies and going into the middle of the summer. hopefully we can continue with the same type of progress. we're down 1.3%. that number has been driven by aggravated assault. which is the fairly large number. we're 5% up in aggravated assault. which equates to about 65 crimes more than we were this year.

rapes we're down by 5% difference nine below. at this time last year 180 compared to 190. robberies we're down to 6.3%. 1396 this year compared to 1491 last year. with aggravated assaulted that number is 1230 this year compared to 1165 last year. human trafficking reported incidents are up significantly from this time last year. although it's a small number. significant percentage increase. we have 37 this year compared to 12 last year. we believe that our policy change that we had this past year with our sex workers that we worked on with several of the advocacy groups, we believe that's actually making a difference.

we believe more people are coming forward. encourage people to report violent crime if they are victimized. particularly sex workers who often time gets victimized. we're asking officers not focus on the minor crimes and the sex crimes that might be associated with them becoming victim of violent crime. we believe that is making a difference. i know it's anecdotal. these numbers are significant. although we're talking about 25 additional crime is significant in that regard. hopefully it is making that difference we think it is. it's very hard to deal with the problem. in terms of property crime, we are 12.09% below where we were at this time last year. in terms of number about 3500.

as of year to date. compared to 28,748 this time last year. our auto burglaries which has been a focus of our department for this year were 20.98% down. that is a difference of almost 3000 crimes exactly. burglaries we are .82% down. small number about 20 crimes difference from this time last year. motor vehicle thefts, we are almost 600 car thefts down. bottom line on our crime numbers we are very pleased we're going in the right direction. we'll continue to craft strategies and make adjustment where is we -- adjustments where we need to. terms of major events this week,

this seek pride -- this week is pride week. pride a rai -- pride parade on sunday. we have robust department. we're working with the organizers to ensure that we have coordinated security plan with the organizers. there's couple of things i like to report on. today there was an incident in the tinder lawn which an officer assaulted solo officers was assaulted by unknown person who threw a bottom th bottle and hie head. he was taken to the hospital and he is doing well. i spoke to him before the meeting today. we don't have a suspect in custody. i know there was a story of interest. lot of people wanting to know how the officer is doing. he is doing well.

we are still investigating to try to determine who the suspect was who threw the bottle. just one other incident to report. this was from an assault that got quite a bit of media attention couple of weeks ago on may 24th. about a month ago. when a 38-year-old homeless man was lying down on the sidewalk by mcallister. the subject approached him and viciously kicked him in the face and head area. it was captured on a surveillance video and it was shown on the news. we do have a person in custody on that case. 58-year-old male and our investigation revealed that he also participated in another provoked attack that happened on may 29th. both of those cases have been filed by the district attorney

office. our officers who actually recognize the suspect and made the arrest and was actually a really good police work. we're very pleased we have this individual in custody and off the streets. >> president turman: it shows good police work. it's a sign of the frustrations in the community and see somebody do something vicious like that, it's type of crime that we deal. it's unprovoked. we need to take care of it. >> thank you. one other thing part of the report was on staffing. just on our staffing in terms of our ftes, we're currently 1816 full duty ftes. that's below our 1971 minimum staffing number. we do have a recruit class to -- that started this week. we have 50 recruits in that

class. we have 37 officers and ftos. we'll continue to try to build on those numbers. as far as overtime, we're winding up the year. we are still very much within our overtime bunch. i'm happy to report that. we had ten days to go. we'll encourage overtime expenses for our pride department. i know that was of interest to all the commissions in particular to dejesus. we are below. our folks have done good job managing overtime. that concludes this portion. >> any questions for the chief? please call next line item. >> line 1b, dpa director's report. report on recent dpa activities and announcements. >> good evening director henderson. >> thank you. we are at -- i like to start off with the stats. we're at 279 cases open this

year. just by contacts, we have surpassed the number of open cases from last year already at this time. which was 267. we have closed 220 cases. there's still in my open cases are 290 as opposed to 401 open cases from last year. we are still holding at 23 cases that are past 270 day mark of those 23. we still have a number of positions i won't repeat the same ones from last week that have still in background. we've been having series of meetings with my chief of staff and with the department on amending trying to streamline our background process. those conversations in that meeting will continue the first part of next week. wile keep the commission updated. there was a big issue for us.

one of the solutions is likely to include us independently doing our background with structure and guidance from the department. that will be a budget item for me. which brings me to next issue. we're in the middle budget. i testified last week the department did what the board and meeting with the board again tomorrow. i believe the department is as well on the budget. i'll share the final budget once it's finally approved. we have been continuing to expand our connection with community and doing more events and partnership with public agencies. last week, we were at the june celebration, juneteenth

celebration. we'll be doing the same thing this week at the pride festival where we'll have a booth both saturday and sunday. i would like to close by saying one of the things that we met -- we did this week was sit down with d.o.j. and they are here. i'm excited to seeing the boots on the ground such as it is. to welcoming them into the collaboration and the partnership to address some of the concerns from the report that we are all working on. i'm here today along with one of my senior investigators, sarah, as well as some of the interns from the office. we'll answer any questions as necessary. >> director henderson, number of complaints are up to more than what we had last year. any reason or rationale for that >> lot more people are learning about who the agency is and what

we do. one of the things that was real challenge for us was along access. so folks that were coming into the office that spoke any other languages had some severe challenges including death and hard of hearing. those challenges have been for the most part, resolved. we have ways of communicating through our networks now. we didn't have the equipment that we should have had at the front desk to answer questions from folks walking in from off the streets. we had closed off the doors inadvertently to folks that wanted to talk to us and ask us questions. >> commissioner hirsch: anything further for director henderson? >> line 1c commission reports, commission president's report,

commissioner's report. >> thank you very much. we had a busy week. it started with last week myself and commissioner attended the graduation sunday night. graduated 36 brand new officers and suffice to say, it was an incredibly diverse group. it was great to see their families. it was great to see the new members of the sfpd. you just look at the whole dynamic. you look at the award. going from markmanship awardeds to awards crises intervention training. deescalation techniques. force options training. just strength of chasing and running physical fitness. there's combination of ability to do physical fitness and react appropriately. the awards have changed to certain extent to represent the changes that this department has been going through.

that was good to see that. thank you both commissioners for joining me at the graduation. if you make noise you have to step outside. you got one warning. next, we had in addition to that, the academy graduation. i attended yesterday as representative from the police commission and medal of valor selection committee. the heroism we saw from many of the officers young and old, men and women of the san francisco police department was beyond belief. i can't wait for commissioners to see and hear the story. proud to be part of this. additionally, during the course of the week, i was interviewed the fei in san francisco, going through their inspection. i think it's important that the interview police commissioner about our thoughts about the fbi and i being former assistant u.s. attorney. it was natural for them to ask. i have to say, question was

asked, why are you not in the jttf. i said because the people in san francisco have no confidence in the united states department of justice. when i was first working on that, i had confidence in the u.s. department of justice. it doesn't exist anymore. when you have an attorney general quoting from the bible, citing why we should keep children separated from their parents, very hard for me and other commissioners to convince the members of the public to have confidence in the department of justice. hopefully things will change. it's ironic that that supervisor came -- interview came before this happened. i want to share with you, i do think the men and women of the fbi that work here are incredible. i dealt with many of them. lack of confidence and things that happened with director comey, the assistant director and things at the d.o.j. put us in a bad spot point to stay that, because i represent the

public. i felt very strongly about that. that's our activity throughout the course of the week that i was involved in commissioners. commissioner hirsch. >> commissioner hirsch: and i t was the first meeting of the state ag working with the state and the department meeting was overseen by the d.c. conley. we spent little over an hour talking about the roles people would play and the what the organizations will be doing -- thank you. >> i attended the townhall last week regarding the ois, the officer involved shooting that occurred in north beach which was about three blocks from my

house. i had both professional and personal interest in it. i wanted to stay that i thought -- i'm obviously not going to be commenting on any of the substance of the presentation. as far as the presentation, i wanted to say that i thought that chief scott and the department did a really good job in keeping the presentation neutral. coming to this is somebody has been on the commission for only a few weeks. i had concerns about the manner in which other investigations and other departments have prejudged investigations, acted as advocates for their officers over the objectivity of the investigation. didn't see any of that during the townhall that i attended.

auditorium. >> vice president mazzucco: i like to have at least one commissioner present. anybody available to go? i will be out of town tomorrow. >> i will be attending. i don't know if i'll make the whole time. >> vice president mazzucco: agat you've seen when you hear the stories of the deescalation techniques and lives saved without using force. it's tribute to those officers too. great. please call next public comment. >> we're still on d. >> commissioner dejesus: one of the things we did discuss at the use of force, we went through lot of the different recommendations that made. it was refreshing some of them we kind of forgot.

coming out of that meeting, there was a discussion about clarity and giving information as much information as possible. being as traitor -- transparent as possible especially when it came to our discipline report and our firearm discharge review board. it was brought to our attention. los angeles and other areas give much more detailed information. they are guided by the same principles we are under the copely act. they give information about the event, the discussion, the how they reached the decision that they reached. they are very detailed. we should provide a copy to all of us. what we like to do is we would ask that the commission put it on the agenda so that we can change at least two reports to provide more detailed reporting similar to lapd board of police commissioners. which enable the public to understand the complexity of the

circumstances, the type of investigation the police department conducted into the i want and the basis for the civilian police commissioner findings. we believe this is critical to fostering public trust. that's something other departments report do. ours are like one photograph. it wasn't really lend to the strategy -- not the strategy but the transparency how we reach decisions what we reached and what we were looking at. it's something we like to agendize and change that. [applause] >> vice president mazzucco: ple. commissioner hirsch. >> commissioner hirsch: we had same issue come up at accountability. we're taking similar -- i asked the city attorney's office to look at what los angeles is doing and to give us an opinion, their opinion as to why we couldn't do something like or closer to that. that will come back to

accountability. sounds like we're working on the same thing. >> commissioner dejesus: we're all governed by copeley. >> vice president mazzucco: com. >> . commissioner elias: i think that one of the things that was evidently clear and the use of force working group was that the fact that the public really wants transparency. i think that we are all in agreement that is something we also want as well while respecting the laws.

>> just to brief follow-up. i think everybody said it already. i know that even before i came on the police commission, time and again, people in the community have addressed concerns with the way the disciplinary process, isn't transparent as it could be. nobody is suggesting that the commission taking any actions in violation of settled law, copeley etcetera. just to follow the lead of l.a. and other jurisdictions, who have taken actions. i would join in the request for

to agendize it for discussion and a vote. >> initially the calendar should be for advice on what basically, what other police departments are doing and what's within copeley and the law. >> the san francisco sheriff's department is also doing it. >> i don't know that for sure. the city attorney office did receive the request. we are working on it. >> vice president mazzucco: obv. july 11th may not work. let's go with july 18th. there's clarity for the public and commission so we're in sync what other police departments are doing and in accordance with the law. >> if we're going ask for advici would go little further. we have a sample already what te

sheriff's deputy does. >> i sent sheriff and the l.a. county to the city attorney use office last week. i'm hoping in the next week or o we'll get a response. >> vice president mazzucco: putt on for july 11th. if there's an issue with it, wel move it to the other day. >> it's marked on the 11th so if there are any issues we'll deal with those and move the action. >> vice president mazzucco: we'l see what we need to do on the 18th. >> i want to make sure that whee get that memo that dpa about gea copy of that advice memo so we n weigh in to facilitate these conversations. >> i do not know that there is a memo. i know the question was asked fr the city attorney's office. there is a group of lawyers worg on it. i will have to check in. i do not know that there's a meo

coming. >> this is unrelated as long ase discussion is complete regardin. there was one other issue regarg the agenda and agendizing items that was brought to my attentio. i think that there's also been e media coverage what happened in closed session on at least whats agendized last week. i wanted to address the questiof -- i understand mr. hing will be appearing in closed session to address the same issues. is there a particular why his ne was left off the agenda? when it appeared on the agenda t week, which set off this whole e storm? >> this item is not only the ag
