the department of public health environmental division gave an overview of the building 606 and the hunters point naval shipyards. as a result the department came away with several items that we're working on. before i go into each one of those items, i want to stress that the department of public health has assured us all along in our -- in the time we've occupied 606 and continues to assure us that building 606 is safe for the occupants who work there. as concerns were raised over the years, tlerp documented -- tlerp documents a tlerp -- they were documented and assigned to the hygienist. water has previously been tested by the department of public health, and they had deemed it safe for human

consumption. nevertheless, as a result of that meeting, we're taking the following steps out of an abundance of caution not only to make sure that our people are safe there, but they also feel safe, and now i'm going to go into each one of those and talk about the steps we're taking and our timelines. first, we've requested a retesting of the water at 606. this is going to include a retesting for biological contaminants, heavy metal contaminants, radiological contaminants. the p.u.c. has begun the first steps of this, and they began a first round of testing on thursday, august 2, and we'll have preliminary results within approximately a week that they will be presenting to the department of public health. the p.u.c. is also going to be contacted -- contracting with a third party lab for radiological testing of those

water samples. they were actually out at the building today, taking additional water samples to be tested. the final results of the water testing that includes the radiological component, they believe, will take approximately three months. they believe that they will have preliminary testing which will -- will have that base -- kind of the base panel testing, that's going to be in a shorter time frame, and that's the one that they'll be presenting to the department of public health and then ultimately to us. the next step that we've requested is a retesting of the air quality and the dust that settles in building 606. similar to the retesting of the water, we've asked for a testing of the air for biological contaminants, any kind of metal, lead, asbestos, and any kind of radiological

contaminants, as well. d.p.h. is going to begin the process of testing that air next week, and the dust, and that, similar to the water, will be the base testing, the base panel testing, and they're currently working with the e.p.a. to obtain the contractor who's actually going to do the radiological portion of that testing, but they are moving forward on that. nod in addition to the testing, they're going to be looking at the complete hvac system out there and the filtration replacement and schedules. next step we're taking is regarding a recent sewer project we had at 606. in the back of 606 at the fence line, we have a sewer pump that facilitates the building. that sewer actually had failed,

and we needed to replace it. so we had, earlier in the year, actually excavated that sewer, replace it had, and there was residual soil that's leftover from that excavation that is behind building 606 been our fence line. that soil, it's important to note, was remediated soil that was brought in when the building was initially built. had, nevertheless, we have that soil, and we're currently in the process of disposing of it, and getting the soil off of the -- the property so we're working towards that. but with that, we're taking samples of that soil and having it tested not only for biological contaminants, but also radiological contaminants. we believe that we will have preliminary test results much like the water and -- i don't know about the air, but the water within the next couple of

weeks, at least for a preliminary panel, radiological will take a little bit more time than that. we're actually working on obtaining a contractor to do that through a third party vendor. we were asked to look into the water filtration system at building 606, so the water that comes into the building goes through a separate filter that's on the outside of the building. that filter traditionally has filtered out sediment that collects in the lines. building 606 is at the end of a water line that is not used very often because there's not too many people that are out at 606. so as a consequence to that, if the lines aren't used regularly, sediment sits in the lines, so when you turn on the water, you have to let it flow

to remove that sediment. part of what p.u.c. was doing out there today was testing not only the water quality for what's coming in at the meter for what the p.u.c. is bringing into the line that feeds onto the former naval base and ultimately into 606, so they were testing their water that was coming in and then the water that comes into the building. they're going to -- one of the things that they've actually exploring is that several years ago, the navy and p.u.c. were using more water out there. they were using water that was -- that there were retrieving through a fire hydrant out there, so that was, in a sense, flushing the lines, and it was done quite regularly and that process was stopped which may -- may be causing some of the increased sediment

that we're seeing in our filtration system, so we're looking at that. the next step we're going to be taking is during the rainy season, there has a tendency -- because 606, when it was built, there was a certain amount of land and dirt that was excavated under the former property that was there. what that left was probably about a 4.5 to 5 foot crawl space for lack of a better term underneath the building. we've noticed in the rainy season, when the water rises, we get standing water underneath that building. so the concern is much like we're testing the water that comes into the building, we want to test the water that's underneath the building to see what's in that for all the same parameters that we're testing our potable water system, we want to test that water, as well. so we've made a commitment that when that water does accumulate, we're going to take a sample of that, and it -- along -- through the department

of if you believe healpublic hs in that water. and then, finally, there was a concern about ongoing testing that's being conducted by the california department of public health in parcel a of the hunders point naval shipyards and what those test results were. there was some -- there was a misunderstanding that the those test actual results were being released and we didn't know about them. what in fact is being released is the california department of public health is releasing, on a biweekly basis, a results of the areas that they have scanned, but they don't -- they have not completed their full analysis of data, and that will not be available until later on in this fall, pertheir website. all of the actual updates are available via the california

department of health website under their program's radiological health branch, and that gives an update of what they've tested, what i can say is that they do have a proet cal that if there are any anomalies -- protocol that if there are any anomalies that there is a notification not only to the navy but to the city, as well. and then, as a follow up to all this, what we're going to do is we're -- we've scheduled another meeting with all of the occupants at 606 in a month from now where we're going to bring the p.u.c. back and bring the department of public health back to talk about the preliminary results that we've received thus far and our steps going forward and then to see if there are additional concern that's we would need to address, and we will do that at that time. >> well, thank you, chief moser. and again, all the efforts that you and the chief have done have been incredible since this

article happened and before. but bayview-hunters point shipyard is an e.p.a. super fund cleanup site, correct? >> correct. >> and we've been giving water to our officers out there at the station there for at least a decade, is that correct, they've been drinking bottled water. >> i don't know the exact time frame, but they've been drinking bottled water, correct. >> and the concern is that the testers from tetratech are now in prison because of the results of the testing. that's what causes me concern. >> that's correct. just one point of clarification, so the tetratech, my understanding is of what tetratech was doing out there wasn't testing within the building. the testing that was done in the building was done through the department of public health, not tetratech, but tetratech was doing testing throughout the naval shipyard area. >> and then, one other

question -- and we should let the public know that we are in the process of moving the crime lab and the evidence room -- when is that scheduled for, for new buildings? >> so the -- the actual crime lab, they've -- they have this -- we have the site, we have the funding, the actual former building at evans and tolen, the parisian bread building was demolished. that process has gun. the actual foundations haven't been laid, but we're looking at somewhere around 2020, late 2020, that will be the home of the new crime lab and traffic company division. the evidence storage, we've been in preliminary talks with the city to look at alternate locations for a long-term evidence storage. >> thank you. it's good for the public to know that we have plans for the, you know, long-term. commissioner hirsch? >> chief, i thought i heard you

say that department of public health had already checked and confirmed the building, building 606 is safe for human occupancy, is that -- is that right? >> that's correct. so the department of public health has been involved in this process since we occupied the building. they've had an industrial hygienist assigned to the building. when we initially occupied the building, there were tests conducted for radiation. there were tests that were conducted for water quality, as well, and then, as any concerns came up, during the time frame up until now, any concerns came up in the building, then, they were investigated through the department of public health. >> so we're retesting -- are we doing the same tests they did previously or are we doing more expansive testing? >> well, it would be -- i don't know the full extent of what

was tested in the early 90's, so i can't really speak to that. i think the department of public health would be better able to answer that question, but what i can tell you is that we are -- we have requested testing for radiological contaminants -- >> right. >> -- throughout all of our testing. that's soil, air, dust, and water. so i can tell you that that certainly -- what we're -- what we're requesting would certainly encompass everything that the department of public health would have tested. we wouldn't be missing anything, but i wouldn't speak to exactly everything that they tested. i think that would be better answered by the department of public health. >> okay. thanks. commissioner dejesus? >> so -- yeah, i read that article. sorry, i didn't bring it here with me, but the adjacent area -- i mean, the immediately adjacent area has extremely toxic material or potentially

has an extremely toxic material, given the imprisonment of the people who were testing it and putting false -- false information in. i'm also concerned that the navy had said it was safe until, i forgot what year it was, but they came out and said they were concerned about the site being rao lodgicly contaminat contaminate -- radiologically contaminated. i don't understand why moving the building takes two year. or the crime lab, just getting our people out. it's 41 people, i think, is still there, according to the article. maybe there's more, but i know that some board of supervisors members are concerned about the department people that are there, and it's something we

should talk to the mayor and talk to the board and see if we can expedite moving the people out. i know we just can't put a lab together, but i think we might be able to rent space or commissioner mazzucco has said perhaps we can farm out the stuff that has to be licensed, to a licensed lab. we've done that before when our lab was in trouble. but there are other options, and i'm really concerned about leaving people in two years especially if the immediate area is full of contaminants, potentially radiological contamination. but i'm thinking of having you ask the board or asking the board to not wait two years. i think you said the end of 2020, so it's 2.5 years that we're talking about. those are my two cents. i think we should really move on that and do something, be proactive -- i'm glad the

drinking water, the sediment, but we need to do the whole area. >> this testing will give us a guide which way we're going to go. testing all components, soil, air, the dust and water for raological will really give us a clear picture what we have. >> but are you going to test in the adjacent area or area close by? i can't believe it's one building that's safe and the immediate adjacent area is contaminated. i'm having a hard time picturing that. >> well, the building is under our purview, and of course, the immediately area is not. that would be speaking that's conducted through either the e.p.a. or the department of public health. >> and are we testing that? >> we are testing our building. >> excuse me. e.p.a. and whoever's supposed

to be testing, especially the people who falsified the reports, are we getting access to the testing that they're doing? >> well, the current testing that's occurring right now is with the california department of public health in parcel a. those are the actual samples that they're taking there. pertheir website, they'll have the results of that testing later this fall. >> all right. that's -- i think we should discuss it as a commission and talk about what we can do. >> commissioner hamasaki? >> just briefly. currently how many sworn and nonsworn personnel are working out at the site. >> we have approximately 41 individuals out there. >> 41. and based -- i guess we

understand the testing's coming, but at this time are you confident that those 41 employees, that their health is not being jeopardized by their presence there and their exposure to the elements. >> so based on everything we've received from the department of public health, yes. the department of public health has assured us that the building is safe and it's safe for our people to be there. however out of an backed up caution that our people are safe and they feel safe, we've requested all this additional testing, and that's where we're at right now. >> okay. thank you. >> any further questions for deputy chief moser? again, i want to thank you. you've been on top of this, as has the chief, and very reactive to the concerns raised in this article. we'll get to the bottom of this, and we, at the end of the

day, as a commission, our concern and responsibility is to help the men and women who serve in this department, and we have jurisdiction over real estate transactions, too. so i think we're pretty much ready and prepared to do what's best for our members. >> thank you. >> perhaps we can agendaize it so we can come up with a plan what we need to do to ask the board of supervisors and mayor for help. >> thank you. >> thank you, chief. >> sergeant john crudeau. >> good evening, sergeant. >> good evening, sir.

>> i didn't get this packet. all i received was just the letter with the findings -- [inaudible] >> oh, okay. >> it's this one. >> this one, electronically. >> i just, again, in consultation with our city attorney, the fact that the commissioners are seeing this for the first time right now, and i imagine the public doesn't have access to it, we're going to take this matter off calendar. yes, i apologize, sergeant, but i think we're going to have to do this at our next meeting. >> commissioner, just to clarify, that's fine, but it is on-line. we did post-it on-line.

>> when was it posted on-line? >> we did post-it this afternoon. >> okay. that's not sufficient. >> and we do have copies for the public. >> that's not sufficient. just for public clarification, we planned on being dark this month just for city offices and city government being closed. we'll just do this next month, and i apologize to the sergeant for being here. >> sorry, but thanks for the presentation. >> you can stay though. >> please call the next line item, please. >> clerk: item 3-b, dpa director's report, report on recent d.p.a. activities and announcements, presentation of 2017 annual report. >> good evening, director henderson. >> good evening. i have the numbers to go over again. so far for d.p.a., we are at 416 open cases. i will indicate and i started indicating that these numbers are starting to go up more now. this time last year, we were at

341 cases. i think a large part of that is because of the increased outreach that we're doing now and some of the partnerships, and i'll talk about that briefly. we are at 344 cases so far this year that have been closed, and we have an open caseload now of 303 cases. i'm -- reporting on our cases that are past 270 days, there are 34 of those cases, and of those, 18 of them are tolled, meaning that they are involved in criminal or civil litigation, as well. couple of things have happened since our last meeting. i've continued in the hiring process, and we've got conditional offers that have been made to two new attorneys joining. we've had a couple of people that have retired and left the agency. the pending offers are folks that are in background, so we

also are continuing our hiring for senior investigators that we're trying to get hired as quickly as possible in the hiring process. we've had a couple of significant events in the agency. in july, our staff and our interns presented our new -- our new outreach materials to all of the san francisco district stations from the police department as well as to nine new community organizations. we're starting partnerships with affinity partnerships. we participated in the mayor's three on three hoops tournament, where i had staff there disseminating information about d.p.a. we also participated in the city public safety fair july 28. i spoke on d.p.a. at salesforce on august 2, and then, on

august 3, i hosted in the office 14 to 18-year-old students from the bayview came in to learn and hear more about d.p.a. these are some of the same kids that came last year that i invite today do an assessment of the services at d.p.a. to give us feedback on reception, our lobby, many of the improvements that the kids had made, so we're doing that again this year just to see and evaluate how our -- how we receive complaints and receive the public into our offices. on august 4, we participated in the mo magic backpack give away, and on august 7, we participated in the national night out event. those were events all over the city. i know it's on the record. again, i'm not going to, unless anyone would like me to read the only annual report, it's only 30 page. >> i'm invoking the julius

turman rule. no. >> i did pass them out for everyone. they are available now, and there are copies on the table there. they are also available in full length on the website, as well. i will just point out that i've revamped the annual report to make it more accessible and readable to the broader audience about the work that goes on at d.p.a. and a lot of our statistics. i will say that i took the -- the annual report down from 130 pages, which is what it was before, to these 30 pages. i will just point out that for the annual report for 2017, i think some of the big take aways are that we took away over 2,000 complaints, and we completed over 700 investigations. so a lot of that detail is in here as well as the neighborhoods that the complaints came from, what the outcomes were, and about staff

and overview of d.p.a. so they are here, and they are available. and i will also -- i didn't put them out 'cause i had them with me, but i will start bringing to each of these meetings general information with the new outreach brochures that we've created and have those on the table for the public, as well. >> thank you, director henderson. any questions for director henderson? commissioner dejesus. >> so when we -- couple of meetings now you've announced that you're hiring, and i keep getting contacted because you're hiring. so i -- the people who then call me back and are told that -- they say that they'll let know when you're hiring, are you hiring off of a list that you already have, or are these ongoing applications and people who have been vetted and applied a while ago? >> both. so we have specific enumerated

lists that folks have to be onto get into our system specifically for the investigators, so the 8124, 8126, those are our investigators, and our seniors, the legal positions are exempt positions, but we've been collecting ongoing resumes throughout the year and have -- and those are ongoing. >> so i'm asking the investigators, you already have an enumerated list, so there isn't a position open that people can apply right now. >> that is correct. >> okay. >> the positions have been opened. they've been affirmed by the budget process. we've started the process months ago, but you know, people have to test, and then, they have to. >> interview: view, th-- inte they have to be assessed by the city. >> and then, is there any test that you expect to be coming up soon or it's closed for now? >> we just completed -- there's a test coming up now for the

8122 position that was affirmed in our budget, but you don't get to test unless you applied and are already on the list. i think that position closed just a couple of weeks ago because they haven't even done the test yet. i think they're sending out the notification for that test. it's a big deal for that position. when i came to the position, we had almost 15 positions that had been open for two years. that 1822 position is a great example. when we opened up that position, we had over 200 applicants for that position. a lot of the folks from other agencies that are interested in doing this work that are coming now, but we have to follow all of the city processes, and i am trying to push them as quickly as i can to get those people in and get them started on the work. >> okay. thank you. >> commissioner hamasaki? >> director henderson, in

reviewing your annual report, i think one of the things that we've been focused on, we've been focused is the d.o.j. reform efforts. can you tell us a little bit how d.p.a. has been involved. you mentioned some d.g.o.'s, but beyond that, is d.p.a. working with the department, the cal d.o.j., to institute those reforms? >> we've been involved in the process from the very beginning. i think the recommendations that everyone is familiar with that have come from the d.o.j., more than a third of them involve my agency and the d.p.a., and so all throughout the process, we worked extremely closely. >> excuse me. director henderson, clyde, c e clyde, one more warning.

go ahead. >> certainly. we've been working with the mayor's office, with the department itself, and all of the agencies that have been at the table. i won't say we haven't had a lot of contact with the a.g.'s office in their role, but we've been expecting and waiting for the opportunity to sit down with all of the parties as they've started to come together to work collectively to give our input, advise counsel on participation and whatever the process is going to be. i've just spoke just this week with the chief about the roll out of the d.o.j. progression in terms of the work that we're doing. and i know there's back and forth going on with the m.o.u. with the city, and we are ready, willing and able to begin those conversations so the work can be prioritized and then executed with our agency. >> okay. thank you. >> anything further for director henderson? thank you. reducing that report from 130 pages to 30, that actually

makes a lot of sense, and it hit all the high points. thank you. excellent job. >> thank you. i just wanted to mention my chief of staff is in the audience, sarah hawkins, and my senior investigator, city stev ball, in case there are issues that arise that we can help in today's meeting. >> thank you, director henderson. commissioner dejesus has a follow up question for the chief. >> i understand you talked about the girl -- the 17-year-old girl what's in the newspaper. and i understand, i just heard that you're not going to release -- you can't release the video cam because she's a juvenile, but i do have some question. there are videos on the internet, and i did look at the internet. at the time that i looked, i guess the ambulance was there, and it seems like i counted over 30 officers. there was quite a lot -- a

large presence of officers for that particular incident, so i'm just wondering why it was so dramatic and it was so large. and the other thing is the newspaper reports that it's under investigation, and i just want today get some clarity, like, who's investigating it. >> let me start with your first question. in terms of the amount of officers that were there, commissioner, there was -- i don't know which video you saw, but there was a -- a crowd that surrounded the officers, basically, and there were some very greattiaggressive threats violence against the officers, so the officers put out a call for assistance and that's what brought that number of officers there. your second question, in terms of -- this might be your third question, in terms of investigation, of course we are conducting and conducted a use of force investigation at the scene. i don't know whether or not

director henderson's agency is conducting the investigation, but definitely, we are internally. >> and you -- internally. >> sfpd. there's no internal affairs investigation at this point. the first order of business is the use of force, and to get that through the process and a captain or commanding officer of that district will make a determination as to whether -- >> that's good. and maybe you can clarify for the public. when you say "we," the use of force, who will do the initial review? >> the initial review, there's a supervisor on scene, and that's the first step. that supervisor comes to the scene and does an initial investigation at scene, a use -- a report is taken and was taken in this incident. the incident report to document everything that happened, including the use of force. that goes through several levels of review, and that's where it will be -- will be determined whether or not the officer's actions were appropriate in terms of the use of force.

from there -- at this point, there's no internal affairs investigation, so that's the internal process. and once we determine what we have in terms of that use of force investigation, we'll take the appropriate steps there. >> and will that internal investigation include a review of the video cam? it did -- is that part of it? i missed that. i was writing. >> yeah, i reported it before you came in. all the officers that arrived had their body cameras on and they did activate them. >> i was going to ask you if they had any problems activating or not activating. and the last question, was the juvenile released from the hospital? >> she was released short there after. >> okay. thank you. >> please call the next line item. >> item 3-c, commission reports, commission president's reports, commissioners reports. >> we have a lot happening since our last meeting, and even though we haven't met,

several of the commissioners, all of the commissioners have been extremely busy. we have met two meetings with hillard hines with two d.o.j. recommendations. they are working with us on facilitating the changing of d.g.o.s and changing of some of our rules and procedures. we've met with the state department of justice who once the m.o.u. is signed will be providing some oversight to the reforms in place of the usdoj. in addition to that, commissioner hirsch, myself, and commissioner hamasaki, really, a great experience. we actually attended an abbreviated version of the san francisco police department's implicit bias training. as attorneys, we go through training all the time, and sometimes we go in there

reluctantly, but this was incredible. it was really well done by the police department, it was eye opening. the catchall in terms of the officers, that implicit bias can lead to officers' safety concerns, and that catches their attention. it was incredible. it was really well done. i'll let the commissioners talk about their experience, but it was really great, and we're doing it for all the officers. it's part of what we're doing with this 21st century policing. in addition to that we've been working on the building 606 issue. also during this period of time, we are going to lose our assistant and legislative assistant rania adwan. we're doing research to find out how to hold her here.

i was to thank her -- please come forward. [applause] >> please come forward. i've been warned yet again, i just didn't listen. ran rania's been great in working to us in getting reform from the mayor's office. she's been in consulting in her entire career. this was her first time in the public sector. she's done a great job. she's been available to us 24-7. her work has been invaluable to the commission, members of the public, police commission. you were a good friend to our former president, julius turman through tough times. you took good care of him, and i want to thank you for that. you've been an awesome assistant, we really don't want you to go, so feel free to change your mind.

i want to thank you, and there'll be more later, but i want to turn this over to the other commissioners. commissioner elias. >> yes. i'm very sad to see miss rania leave. i hope it wasn't because john and i scared her away. so if you do change your mind, please stay. >> commissioner dejesus? >> right. people don't know we have wonderful, wonderful people behind us who do all the hard work, including the city attorney. rania tackles a lot of these -- the use of force, a lot of policy. she's worked on a lot of policy. she's worked on the d.o.j. reforms, she's rounded all of us up, which is hard to do, and assigned us all different tasks. she's been great, and she has a way of taking really complicated material and

reducing it so they're edible bites, which really helps us, especially in meetings. it's going to be like having our right arm cutoff, we're going to miss you, but i want you to know you have contributed here, and you have successfully worked the department and found your way around that department, and we're going to miss that. that's going to be hard to train someone else if we can get someone else, so thank you. >> commissioner hamasaki. >> and policy analyst radhawan, i just want to say thank you. you have made my entry in joining the commission smooth and helped guide me through a lot of the complex issues that we deal with every day, and so i'm grateful to you for your service, wish you weren't leaving, and wanted to extend the welcome to always come back for public comments and get up and share your feelings of the

day. >> as long as i get three minutes. i want my three minutes, but i do want to say thank you so much. >> oh, there's some more people that want to talk to you. director henderson. >> yeah, i was just warming up here. so i just want to say i've known rania since she was a fellow before she even came to and through the office at the mayor's office when i was at the mayor's office, and so working with her over this past year, especially in my transition to the agency has been invaluable, and her contributions, not just to the work that's being done at d.p.a. but her contributions to the mayor's office and her work with this commission specifically with the close support that she provided to julius and the rest of the commission during complicated at best events, including d.o.j. roll out, has been invaluable. it seems almost surreal to me

that we are having this conversation. i'm not sure if this is a salary negotiation that we're doing here, but i -- i would say that if there is a possibility to keep rania here with us, i will say that there's candy up here if that will make any difference for you to stay, under whatever circumstances, but i do want to acknowledge what a meaningful contribution your work has been to all of our lives and all of this work. we are a better city, we are a safer city because of the work that you've contributed to us over the years, and we are very sorry to see you go. and at the very least, you should extend it at least six months. >> commissioner hirsch? >> i guess i'm the only one that's glad you're leaving. no, i'm kidding.

you've been really terrific, and i have your phone number, so i'll still be able to reach out to you. >> you will. >> and you'll have no one to bill, but we'll still seek your advice. you've been really terrific, and i want to thank you publicly. >> again, as a policy analyst, you've been very helpful to us. and i know there's folks in england waiting for you, and i know that's very important, but -- oh, chief scott would like to talk to you. >> thank you. i know i told you this in person, when i first arrived on scene, you were doing two jobs. i know how difficult that must have been, but thank you for all the work. i know as director henderson said, sometimes you had to be the mediator in these very intense discussions about policy and whatnot, but you've done a good job, and we thank you for all the work that you've done. we have a lot of members of the

police department in here, and we thank you for everything. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> can i say now? >> yes. >> no, but it really has been a tremendous honor. i mean, this is really hard, and to the members of the public that keep coming, a true example to

see the 28 cadets but also their families, their proud parents and siblings there to support them, and to see the youth experience with respect to how they view the police officer, i know that chief scott has partaked in engaging the youth with the san francisco police department to sort of bridge the gap with the youth and sort of the police officers, and i thought this was an excellent way to do that, and it was really, really a great experience and i would encourage the others to attend the graduation. i'm not sure when they're going to have another cadet graduation with the youth. i think chief scott may have more information on that.

>> we haven't scheduled another community youth announcement yet, but it was a great event, and a lot of the youth got a lot out of it, so thank you for coming. >> yes. in addition to that, commissioner hamasaki and i attended the tenderloin community meeting and listened to their concerns as they raised them with the captain of the tenderloin station and his command staff. a lot of the concerns that they were raising were surrounded around the fact that there was -- they felt, a lot of police presence in terms of foot patrol in certain areas of the tenderloin, and they were requesting that the captain make more of a police presence on the northern side of market,

not just market street, where a lot of the sort of foot patrol is present, so that was very interesting. another interesting interesting event that commissioner hamasaki and i attended was the tenderloin police commission lineup. it was the day shift -- the day shift? >> swing shift. >> swing shift. >> swing shift, swing shift lineup that we were able to attend and meet some of the officers at the tenderloin station. it was very informative for myself and commissioner hamasaki with respect to the concerns that the officers are facing. and one of the concerns that they sort of mentioned was the fact that there was a lack of narcan kits available to them. it's my understanding that they're only -- the narcan kits

are currently in the trauma-first aid kits which are located in each vehicle, and there are approximately 15 vehicles there in the tenderloin station, and some of the officers had concerns as to the availability of the narcan for people who did not have a vehicle but were doing foot patrol and/or on bikes. and so they raised that concern, and we were currently in the process of trying to remedy that situation so we d did -- can make the narcan kits available to the officers more readily because we all know, especially in that part of town, sometimes vehicle traffic is so horrendous that the only way to get to scenes and sometimes, officers, when they arrive on scene, they're on foot and/or on bike, and so we want to make sure that these narcan kits are available to them because as we know in terms of the opioid crisis that's currently happening, sometimes moments and seconds are vital between life and death, and so we want to make sure that the officers have the tools they need to make sure that they can save a life when

necessary. >> thank you. commissioner hamasaki? >> thank you, commissioner mazzucco. just to follow up, in both of the experiences that commissioner elias discussed were very informative to me as a new commissioner. on the narcan issue, it essentially gives the officers an ability to save a life and do so, you know, in seconds. and one of the officers actually described surface tha

may cause us to act or make mistakes or make judgments in a way that we don't want any of us to do and we don't want our officers to do, so i think it's a wonderful program. i also wanted to mention that i visited with the japantown task force, which is made up of merchants and leaders in the japantown community and had a chance to meet with them about their concerns in the japantown and fillmore area. they had a lot of wonderful things to say about the department but also some of the challenges that exist out there, and it was a real pleasure and an honor for me to go out there and hear from the leaders of that community. so it's been a busy month, even though we haven't been in meetings. >> thank you, commissioner hamasaki? anything further? please call the next line item. we're not done yet, magic. >> item 3-d, commission

they tried to do one afterward, and they were chased by the police, and the chase was called off. two days in a row, i walked

down post street, and the same people who i see with the hypodermic needles in the morning, i saw them running out of the north face store with a bunch of jackets, no cops, no police, no nothing. i'm a little concerned, we have a lot of people with specialty details, you see a lot of police officers on twitter. i'd like to see more police officers on the beat, more feet on the ground, so if we can get an idea of what's happening on that front, that would be great. commissioner hirsch? yeah, i know last week. i think the commissioners all received the latest 96-a report, and i'm just wondering if we can get that calendared for discussion sometime in the next meeting or two. we typically do discuss it publicly, and i think it's worthwhile. it's the data. it's the arrest data -- it's a

comprehensive report. it's -- yeah, it's interesting. >> yeah. thank you. commissioner dejesus. >> so i talked about this before, the wealth and disparities in the black community, justice for mario woods would like to present their statistics analysis to the police commission on racially disparate sfpd use of force. they've had these numbers that they've wanted to talk to us for a while about, so i'm wondering if i can give everybody a heads up that that is coming. and then, there's also the sunshine task force sent us all a letter a while back, and that letter basically said that our vote violated the sunshine ordinance, and we discussed that letter.

i really think we should put it on the agenda and at least discuss the letter and whether we're going to comply or not. i know if we're going to, it's voluntary compliance, but i think we should at least address that. i keep getting contacted about what we're doing, and i think we should stop being silent and put it forward and discuss it. >> we should wait obviously until we have a full commission, too, so hopefully, that'll happen in the month of september, but thank you for that, and i think we'll hear a little bit about that during public comment. anything further? >> clerk: public comment on items 3-a through 3-d. >> good evening, magic. >> good evening. so i would request that you return our time to three minutes. the whole report powerpoint was deleted. you know full well that i was coming as a prepared item on the tasers, and i there's

implicit bias against what i'm going to say but you cutting it down to -- by you cutting it down to two minutes. i don't think it's fair. i took time to prepare. even rania asked to have her three minutes, and i would ask in honor of her. it's not fair, it's arbitrary, and i don't think it's fair. >> i've already announced that. you have a minute 26 to go. >> okay. first of all, i'd like to say spitting can hardly be considered harm to an officer as she was slammed into the body of a police car and her body went limp. i am appalled. where is the use of force training? obviously this child has deep problems and psychological difficulty. we're supposed to help children, not throw them against the car. it's appalling. it's absolutely appalling that this can happen in our community, and we want an investigation outside of the

police department to get something done here so this never, ever happens to a child in our community again. >> thank you. good evening, mr. harts. long time no see. >> did you miss me? i have to tell you, i'm extremely interested in the d.p.a., particularly as it indicates to reporting requirements between this commission and the sfpd, going forward, i would like to see if there's any real accountability, something that the public can see besides dry numbers. i have regularly attended meetings of the ethics commission and after ten years of attendance don't know of a single thing they have done to improve the ethics of this city government. they shuffle papers, kill huge number of trees and only manage to shuffle events.

i've likened it to shuffling deck chairs on the titanic. they have no enforcement power and can only recommend that the offending parties take action against themselves. it's ridiculous. will the p.d.a. actually achieve any level of account ability? that's the open question. and to finish out, i'd like to talk about page seven of the annual report where it talks about mediation. under the old o.c.c., i brought this up a couple times and was told by members of the police commission i was wrong until the last o.c.c. commissioner

said no, mr. harts is right. the way i understand the mediation process is if i as a citizen file a complaint and agree to mediation, if they setup a mediation appointment, and i show up, and the officer doesn't my case is dismissed. that's the end of the case. it's closed. well, that's the way it was under the o.c.c., and i have the documents at home. i'll bring them the next time because the previous o.c.c. director said yes, that's the instance. 'cause i filed a complaint and they asked me aif i wanted to mediate, and i said you must be out of your head. [please stand by]

>> police are engaged in treason and the fact that the police themselves are unlawful. they go against the constitution. the constitution of the united states, which is the supreme law of the land was based on the virginia constitution and the declaration of rights, and article section 113 states a well regulated militia composed of the body of people turning to arms is the proper, natural, and safe defense of a free state that's standing army which is would be the police n times of peace should be avoided as dangerous to liberty. in all cases the military should be under strict subordination to and governed by the central powers. some people were concerned about tazeers and the police with taser, but i am here to s
