>> clerk: can you please rise for the pledge of allegiance. [pledge of allegiance]

>> clerk: commissioner mazzucco, i'd like to call roll. >> commissioner mazzucco: please do. [roll call] >> clerk: commissioner mazzucco, you have a quorum. also with us tonight is the chief of police, william scott and the department of police accountability, paul henderson. >> thank you very much sergeant kilshaw, and welcome to our wednesday, august 15, 2018 san francisco police commission meeting. two announcements prior to starting our meeting. one of the reasons we met, city hall is generally dark during the month of august, but we have some matters we have to deal with in closed session involving litigation related matters, and disciplinary

matters that need to be taken care of. we have a very lengthy closed session agenda, so with that in mind, due to the fact that we have that, the length of our agenda, and the matters that we have to deal with in closed session, we're going to limit public comment to two minutes. with reference to line item number four, which is discussion and possible action regarding the m.o.u. with the state department of justice, that matter will go off calendar until our next meeting because of the fact that some changes have been made in the documentation that was published for the public has an older document, so what we're going to do is move that to our next meeting so the public has ample access to that document. so without further adieu, please go to item number one. >> clerk: item one, adoption of minutes, action of minutes of july 11 and july 18, 2018. >> commissioners with our small quorum here, barely a quorum, you have in your packet the minutes from the july 11 and

18, 2018 meeting. is there any changes or corrections you would like to make? do i have a motion for adoption. >> motion. >> do i have a second? >> second. >> any public comment regarding our minutes? no. public comment is closed. all in favor? [ gavel ]. >> number two. [agenda item read] >> thank you very much, sergeant kilshaw. commissioners, in your packet, there are the necessary documentation regarding these consent items. for members of the public, any

time the police department receives a gift over $25. it has to come with a consent fore the -- for the police department even if it's a $25 donation or a $2,000 donation. so in your packet, there's memos, and if there's anybody -- any questions about this, the chief or one of the staff members will explain, for example, the wilderness program, for example, they take kids camping. it's a great organization, and is it's been around a long time. do i have any questions? do i have a motion? >> so moved. >> second? >> second. >> any public comment regarding the consent calendar? >> director of san francisco open government. the chair's comment about the amount of the gift being accepted, i understand why he says that, but people should know that there's a very good reason that is there, and i'll give you a perfect example. i've been going to the library

commission for years, there's a group called the friends of the san francisco library. in 2017, that group raised $4 million to support the library. the library actually got $390,000. where did the other $3.6 million goes? nobody knows, and the library has been fighting for years to try to keep that hidden. basically, it's a scam. you have on the library website a thing that says want to support the library, and you have a direct link to this group. and big corporations and people giving things in their will, give money to this group, and 90% of the money is unaccounted for. and that's every year. and the interesting thing is that the library commission refuses to -- oh, we don't have any -- they're a 501(c)3. we don't have any responsibility for that. what about the responsibility to look out for the interests

of the public library? what about the simple fact that the head -- city librarian was -- we took him to the -- to fpbc in sacramento and he was found in violation for filing false perjured statements of economic interest because he got financial interest from these groups for years. so there's a very good reason for small amounts being reported publicly. i have to say in my years watching the police commission, you do it in front of the public, where is where it belongs. >> thank you, mr. hart's. appreciate that. any further public comment regarding our consent calendar? [voting] >> thank you. please call the next item. >> 3-a, police report. chief's report. status update rathering

building 606 located at the old hunters point shipyard, presentation of the second quarter 2018 firearms discharge review board findings and recommendations and o.i.s. summary report. >> thank you very much, sergeant kilshaw, and chief. thank you. welcome, and i'd like to put on the record before the chief gives his report, myself and commissioner dejesus, who's an attorney, her area of expertise is in the matter of buildings and public torts. my concern is civilians who are stationed out there, so just so the public knows that we've been working with the chief and deputy chief about our concerns and what the test results are and what our options are. so before the chief goes into that, i want you to know for members of the public and the department, we have been

actively pursuing this along with the chief and looking to make sure that building 606 is safe for the men and women, either civilian or sworn, who serve out there. so without further adieu, i'll turn it over to the chief to start with crime reporting. >> thank you, hcommissioner. i'll start with crime and ill go through this pretty briefly. i know we have the deputy chief and sergeant that will make the next two portions of the chief's report. we'll start with violent crime. we are still tracking well on homicides. we were at 41 this time last year. we have 29 year to date, which is a 29% decrease in homicides. as far as shooting victims, we are 2% above where we were this time last year, 83 this -- this month, and 81 this time last year, so it's a 2% increase. our homicides with firearms is

still going in the right direction. we're 45% below where we were last year, with firearm related homicides. 16 year to date as opposed to 29 last year. homicides, 99 currently as opposed to 110 last year. we have recovered a total of 899 firearms this year, which we believe that firearms recoveries and confiscations help lower crimes. in terms of our auto

burglaries, which is driving a lot of our property crime, we're still doing well. pleased to say we're 16.8% where we were this time last year, 15,911 year to date kpierd to 19,340 last year. burglaries, we're slightly up by 10%, 3421 year to date as opposed to last year. we are still seeing a huge increase in our human trafficking reported cases. we're 58 year to date this year, as opposed to 17 this time last year, so that's a significant increase percentage wise, but we do believe our change in policy, anecdotally

to encourage victims to report these crimes has helped us. as the commission knows, last year, at the end of last year, we had a bulletin drafted that basically encouraged victims of violent crimes who may be involved in the sex trade to report the crimes with the understanding that if they've been a victim of a violent crime, we're not going to go after them for a minor violation because we want them to report those crimes. we do believe that's made a difference. we worked with that policy for a number of years with many members of the community, and i think that's why we're seeing an increase in reporting. as aneddotally, as that is, we do believe that is the reason. we have had a couple of

homicides this past year, on august 8, there was a homicide in the 200 block of turk street. actually it was a murder suicide. we found two females that were found deceased in their room. they were sisters, and it appeared that one sister actually stabbed the other to death, and both were found by their brother, actually, which is a very sad case, so we're looking at this as a murder suicide based upon the evidence, but the investigation continues. on 8-11, we had a homicide at mission and general he have a. one victim was pronounced at the scene. there were three other victims that were shot. they all had nonlife threatening injuries. this is still an ongoing investigation, and we don't have any suspects. >> clyde, please turn your phone off. that's your first warning. please turn your phone off.

chief, please continue. >> there was a shooting that occurred in the 100 block of kisco road. our victim was a 43-year-old male, san francisco resident. he was actually employed or is employed by the city's street violence intervention program or svip. just a little bit of background, the folks that are employed by svip, basically they work through the department of public health and some of the other city agencies, department of youth and families, and they do a really, really phenomenal job in intervening with street violence. a lot of community service, community work, and basically, our 29% reduction in homicides, a lot of that can be attributed to the work that they do. they -- this man was shot at

12:00, just after noon, broad daylight, and it was right across the street from a youth center, boys and girls club, which is horrible. he's in the hospital in very critical condition, and we are asking for the public's assistance to bring whoever did this to justice. and like i said before, he spent a majority of his life working to help our community and keep our streets safer, and he was gunned down in the middle of the street in broad daylight, so we need to solve this one. we're asking for anybody that has any information about this crime to contact our tip line: 415-575-4444. you can text a tip to tip411, and you can remain anonymous if you have any information on that. 'cause we do need to solve that real bad. all of them are bad, but this

one was right in the middle of the day in front of a youth center. i want to talk about an arrest that got a lot of media attention on monday, august 13, there was an arrest at 7th and market, involved a juvenile, and we've put out a press release on this, but i just want to talk a little bit about this. on august 13, at approximately 1:00 p.m., an on duty san francisco in plainclothes spotted a wanted juvenile in the area. he followed the suspect to market and jones where officers made contact with her to place her under arrest. subject resisted the efforts of the officers who were taechlting to arrest her and a physical struggle ensued. during the struggle the juvenile spit in their faces. a use of force occurred to prevent the subject from spitting at the officers again. after subduing the officers, the officers called medics to the scene as a precaution.

subject was transported to the officer where she was later medically cleared and was taken to be booked. the assaulted officers were also medically treated at the scene, and they were also released. during the incident, there was an adult male who was arrested for obstructing the police officers from their duties, and our juvenile subject was charged with resisting arrest, two counts of assault on a police officer, as well as the original arrest warrants for multiple counts of burglary. so this use of force got a lot of attention through the media, and a couple of things i just want to reemphasize. first of all is that this was a reportable use of force, and that use of force report and investigation is being done. we take these incidents very seriously, and i know we've got a lot -- or at least some calls and some social media activity regarding certain over the fact that this incident happened, and that it was -- involved a 14-year-old. we do take it seriously. even though the officers used

force, there is a lot of concern for our juvenile subject's well-being. we have reached out to juvenile probation to see what, if anything can be done to hear help, what she needs, and they are in fact working on that. i talked to chief today. it is a use of force investigation, and that has to go through the proper levels of review, and ultimately, a determination made whether that force was proper and appropriate. our tenderloin captain and our market street have reached out to the members of the community to address any questions or concerns that they may have about this incident, and again, i want to emphasize that we did contact the juvenile probation department just to confirm that services are being given appropriately to help this young lady. so that is the basic facts on

that. there was body cam footage, all the officers that were involved did have their body cams activated, so that footage is being reviewed, as well. because she is a juvenile, perour policy and law, we cannot release or name or identity, so we won't be showing those videos publicly, but we have reviewed them, and again, we are taking everything seriously and we're doing a use of force protocols, as we always do. one other thing i want to point out, yesterday was the 12th anniversary of aubrey casas's murder. our department was there to support miss brown and her family on the 12th anniversary, and for those of you and the public that may not be familiar with this, on august 6, 2006,

aubrey was shot and killed at the intersection of baker and market street. yesterday, we spoke to members of the press to bring attention to the case. there is a $250,000 reward for this case, and as many times, the commission, including vice president mazzucco has asked the public, if you know anything that will help us bring this case to closure, please, please report it to the san francisco police department. and i'll close my portion of the report with two things. i know -- i mean, commissioner dejesus is not here yet, but she had made a request several months ago to keep an update on reporting on our overtime, so i am pleased to report that as we close out the fiscal year 2017-2018, we did make our budget on overtime, and i'd like to thank our staff, including our supervisors, command staff, and our fiscal

folks who put together a very vigorous tracking system so we can account better for our over time, and i think that did payoff in terms of dividends for our management over time. monday, august 14 marked the 159th birthday of the san francisco police department, so we wanted to make a big deal about that. we are a very proud organization with a lot of tradition, and we believe that being around 169 years is something to celebrate, so we put that out on social media just describing the history of our organization. and it got a lot of good reviews, but i want to say happy birthday sfpd on the 169th birthday. >> thank you very much, chief. commissioner elias? >> i wanted to ask chief what were the injuries were that were sustained by the officers

and the young juvenile during that incident. you indicated there were injuries. >> both officers were spit on, so the blood born pathogen protocols had to be followed. >> both officers got spit in their eyes. >> uniformed officers? >> uniformed officers. there's a protocol that we have to follow, and that procetocol was followed. >> okay. thank you, chief. >> so now, deputy chief moser will report on 606. >> thank you, chief. >> as deputy chief makes his way to the podium, this is, again, the result of a really well written expose by the san francisco chronicle by the building 606 issue, and i want to thank the retired officers from the sfpd that participated

in that. there was a podcast, there was a lengthy -- not just a five paragraph article, it was several pages, and i also spoke to members of the department who used to work out there, and did a little of my own intelligence gathering. suffice to say myself and commissioner dejesus and other commissioners i've spoken to are extremely concerned about this. so deputy chief moser will tell you, and the chief will tell you we want to get to the bottom of this real quick, but i'll turn it over to the deputy chief to tell what has been done. >> thank you. vice president mazzucco, chief, mr. henderson, members of the public, i oversee the administration bureau. joining with me in the audience with the captain of our facilities division, acting commander of our administration

bureau, and the director of our crime lab. commissioner, as you had pointed out, the chronicle recently published an article about the cleanup efforts at hunters point and building 606. in anticipation of that, the department organized a q&a session on friday, july 27 that was a couple of days after the actual article was released. we did that with the current employee of building 606, and we did that in order to give them a historical perspective of the building and to address any concerns that they may have. members of the department of public health, occupational health and safety team, along with miss aimee brownell from 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.
