just having a conference call doesn't really satisfy that on going collaboration and discuss about our issues in san francisco. as you know, there's about 4,000 homeless individuals unsheltered that are throughout our city. we all know it's a poverty issue, a mental i will us in il. there are issues that cause the homelessness situation in our city. and so, with the chief's vision on us doing a better job, we had discussions around the holidays last year and based on our discussions, the vision of the mayor and which has been currently very supported by mayor breed, this continued effort we came up with healthy streets. on january 16th of this year, we started it off. i'll just give you a brief overview of what it means when we say healthy streets operation center or for short we call it h-shock. it was developed to better coordinate the many city agencies involved in addressing

homelessness and the unhealthy streets behavior. it's structured as a unified command and they direct, plan and coordinate responses to street behaviors and homelessness. if you think about that incident command system model that goes on nation wide, when you have an emergency, if you had a disaster or an earthquake or a major fire or major event in our city, it's standing up a command post real time and having face-to-face conversations with other partners to deal with that issue. so we start on the january 16th. and it really, in 2017, prior to the roll out of the hsoc, the mission had 268 encampments and we would meet for 10 or 10 minutes every morning to talk about the plan. that has something to do with how the january 16th roll out of hsoc happened.

when we saw in 2016 this collaboration was working and the decision was to make it department wide. this is where hsoc is based. the healthy streets operation center mission is to provide a unified and coordinated city services in response to unsheltered persons experiencing homelessness. our thought is we lead with compassion. we emphasize with the whole community. there's residents and businesses and merchants that have issues as to what is going on with the homelessness. we also have compassion for the homeless who need services and they need shelter and they need supportive housing, things of that nature. we believe that everyone can change and that safe and clean streets can be maintained. there are seven agencies that are involved in the healthy streets operation center. so you have the apartment of homelessness and support of housing at the table every day and them their homeless outreach team. we have the department of

public-health and now we have a full-time department of public-health worker at hsoc coordinating individuals as we bring them names. they're working to get people drug treatment and mental illness treatment, et cetera. the police department, the chief's vision is that the sfpd lead the effort at the healthy streets operation center. we're not the lead to deal with homelessness. we're the lead to be organized to get everyone together and to facilitate the daily meetings, things of that nature. public works for the clean up. the controllers' office is involved because they are measuring success. what is success and what are your goals and are you meeting your goals and what are the statistics and we have great success revamping 311 and they have been great in hosting us and both director cronnenburg and carole devoting staff to

help us work together. in terms of 311, i just want to mention a couple of things. number one is there are 200 to 250 calls a day that come over 311 city wide regarding encampments throughout the city. between august 25th and august 31st, there were reported 1,285 calls for service people in encampments. the primary areas called are the mission and civic center. last week we trained our officers and loaded on their smart phones. now officers, the homeless outreach officers on patrol are clearing 311 complaints that are experiencing when they're cleaning up encampments from their phones. we're using technology to clean it up and what is exciting is not we have revamped the 311 system starting august 8th where all the encampment calls are coming to the healthy streets operation center and we're

triaging them and making determinations who should respond. should it be public works or the police department and we're working to have a better response time and be more responsive to the 311 complaints and i know the community quite often explains about them. >> i live near golden gate park. you don't get calls for golden gate park? they certainly have a lot of campers parked outside and a lot of homeless there? i'm just wondering? i'm surprised to hear submission and civic center. >> there are not a lot of calls from golden gate park and that surrounding area to 311 regarding encampments. some issues are r.v.s which we're addressing now. the overwhelming majority are mission, southern, tenderloin. >> are the 9-1-1 calls regarding this issue going to be forwarded to the 311 or are you going to give us a net to watch those as

well? >> when we started hsoc, the disconnect we saw was that there were two paths to call in a homeless complaint. you can either call 9-1-1, which would get forwarded to the non emergency and the police would respond and we would respond in a silo or use 311 and that would go to public works and they would respond kind of in a sighh low and there could be the same complaint and both agency didn't know that both agencies had a call pending. that was the disconnect. the majority of calls went to public works but there was a person in the tent. there was issues with all of that. what we have been able to do from january 16th to the present is discourage the community from calling the police. having the dispatchers refer everyone who calls over to 311 and then we have that one list now starting in august where we get all of them city wide and we coordinate off that one list. it's really improved the way that we deliver service this is

san francisco. as a result of thinking that through. it took us several months to think it through. the other thing i'd like to mention is that in the healthy streets operation center with all of those agencies, you have a police dispatcher, public works and so that in real time that coordination is taking place. if you need a truck or you need an outreach worker, it's all happening together and then the officers that are dedicated to this program, are all on one radio channel working with one dispatcher and everything has been completely consolidated. >> will the homeless part of it do they have the list of -- i think they're developing a list of the people on the streets and it's the ones that need the most care? will they have the list with them? >> that communication happens daily. the public-health employee at the healthy streets operation center is compiling a list with the high e.m.s. users from and

the officers when they come in they'll provide a list. so there's a full-time employee making a priority and because of all the laws related to that it's one way. we give all the information to public-health and behind closed doors they work on ways to help people and figure out who needs the treatment and when. it's a long list but we're having the conversation every day. >> is glide also included in this conversation? or the felt on institute. when i was part the lead program, that was sort of the two main agencies that would a arrive on scene when the officers called and would connect immediately with the individual to engage them in services. find them housing and other opportunities so that they wouldn't be taken to jail. >> so the answer is yes. all the non profits and the providers the city that are

related to homelessness are connected to us at the healthy streets operations center through the department of homelessness in support of housing, which has the homeless outreach team and they're connected to the service providers. there's a whole set of other service providers through public-health. what we are moving towards now is to really figure out how we can connect with all the service providers in the fields in real time. so for example, glide or having the crisis intervention team through public-health walk with the homeless outreach officers in u.n. plaza or civic center or for example, we're working on a plan for the castro so that the homeless outreach team is partnered with the officer at night so that it interact with the homeless and provide services in lieu of enforcement. we're connected with everyone one way or another and have access to everyone. on this next slide, i mentioned the incident command system.

essentially everyone has a role and responsibility. i service the incident commander. we have an operation section chief which is lieutenant sam crist who is working on developing strategies. where do we need to be. where are we doing encampment clean ups. we have a planning section chief at 9:30 and 2:30 in the afternoon. we have an all-hands conversation about what is our mission for today. where do we need to be? what's our plan for the next few days? we have the break out meetings twice a day. we have operation support as public safety fire. operation suppose sort, we're just are developing an incident action plan every week for the monitoring of the cases. we have a district attorney assigned to us from the district attorney's office. knowing that prosecution is a last resort has been doing

prosecution with the hopes that the prosecution results in services because we all agree that putting people in jail and leaving them there will not solve our homelessness issue. we have to get people help. we're coming up with tools. we're happy about. d.a. office helping us. we have our public rep and a liaison officer that works with outside entities who want to visit and ask questions. we have three main goals. goal number one, so what are our goals for the healthy streets. the san francisco streets are safe and clean is goal number one. reducing incidents leading to service requests, drug related criminal activity, eliminating the encampments, et cetera. that's goal one. we have strategies based behind goal number one. goal two is to meet the shelter and service needs of individuals on the streets. because although we're cleaning up encampments is it's how we're helping people connect to the navigation center, to the shelter and how we can get an

individual off our streets and into the supportive housing. it's the main goal for hsoc while we're cleaning things up. goal three is establishing a unified city response to homelessness and street behavior and we have strategies behind that as i mentioned about dispatch and our communications and our streamlining of 3-1-1. i do want to mention that seattle had something similar. the seed was planted last year when we heard that seattle had something similar to what we're doing here in san francisco. what i have since learned, after attending conferences and speaking with others in other agencies is that seattle has shut their operation down. los angeles has come to look at what we're doing in san francisco. last week i went to a conference. austin wants to look at what we're doing. portland wants to look at what we're doing. in our opinion right now, the healthy streets operation center

concept is really a best practices in collaboration in dealing with this for the first time in as long as i can remember us dealing with this particular topic. on the next page it's just something that reiterated what i talked about before in terms of 3-1-1 call versus a 9-1-1 call and everything is triage. we're triaging 250 calls every day. that's working very well. on the next slide, i just want to mention what the staffing looks like. in the san francisco police department, we have 40 homeless outreach officers assigned to the 10 district stations. when we started in january 16th, we've put a lot of resources into this effort. we started in january of 2016, with the healthy streets operation center we opened it from 7:00 to 3:00 monday through friday. we have a staff, a lieutenant and inspectors and couple of officers and some additional non sworn staff.

we have back then they had a team of a sergeant and six officers that assist with encampment resolutions. we had a meeting with our officers every wednesday and we triage calls. when we first started, we started soft. what we found quickly in discussions with the chief and as we evaluated this is that we do a lot of work on friday at 3:00 but then on monday morning, we start all over again. thanks to the chief, we opened this on january 28th to be seven days a week and it's now 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. seven days a week on going collaboration and we're making phone calls at 10:00 at night on a sunday saying som come out, let's resoe this issue and it's working. now we have four sergeant and 24 officers both assigned to the day shift and swing shift. we focus on encampment

resolution. we meet with 60 police officers all homeless outreach officers city wide once a week on a wednesday. we bring them into one room and give them training for 30 minutes. we tell our officers you are the resource to all the other officers in the department and so we're teaching them about encampment resolution, about mental illness, medical conditions, substance abuse treatment and yesterday we trained a group of officers on narcan because we're saving lives with narcan. 30 something saves already. we're giving our officers specialized training to deal with the homeless population in our city every week. >> i saw narcan officers using it at pride. >> yes. >> people collapsed on the street. >> we're using narcan. eighty dollars a bottle and we're arming it up with narcan and it's working and we're excited about that.

we schedule one large operation a week and the other thing i want to mention to you that is really important is in terms of encampment resolution how we're doing things differently is we have a larger encampment, instead of officers going out and forcing the law and taking the tent and having public works clean up, we collaborate with the department of homelessness in support of housing and say let's give it two weeks. send your team out. try to get people placed and get them in the shelter and the navigation center. and we turn to public-health and we say, can you please have a health fair? bring the health fair out, public works does a great job with the health fair and they get them early in the morning and help them with their drug overdoses and let everybody know in two weeks on this date and time we're coming. there's no secrets. just let them know we're coming and that works. for example, just today, at 15te people into navigation prior to

cleaning up the area. within 24 hours of setting the plan, five people were put into navigation before we went there to clean up. that is really working a little bit about statistics because we like to give you numbers. in august, the 24 officers assigned to the healthy streets operation center responded to 853 calls for service, they self-initiated 127 calls as well so that nearly 1,000 interactions with homeless individuals, 1,000 individuals, and as a result we had 17 arrests which is mainly for warrants. we issued 100 citations. we admonished 650 people. we referred 104 individuals to the hot team. we made 243 notifications to public works. we got 12 individuals into navigation and we made 28 referrals to public-health. that's the work just this august

that we did this last month. the team assigned a healthy streets operation center. as i conclude just a couple more things i'd like to mention. i mentioned about the trainingment officers are receiving. great training on dealing with the homeless population. our rule is that you have to be crisis intervention team trained in order to be on these teams. the full 40 hours. we just added our 24 officers to our healthy streets and a few are not trained so they're in the next class and they are making these officers the top priority to get into the crisis intervention team training so we're excited about that. and then i may have mentioned customer service call backs. one of the things we're doing we've never done before is on every call for service we steve from the public if we have a name and a phone number we call them back. hi, this is san francisco police department and we want to let

you know this is our plan and this is what our city strategy is is there more information you have, et cetera. the public has been grateful for getting the call backs from us. a couple more things. so we're doing encampment resolutions and we're doing it for several reasons. our main reason is we're concerned about public safety and we're concerned about heath. san diego had a outbreak and we're concerned about that happening in our city. there's been sexual assaults, there's stolen property and a lot of issues happening with the encampments. we feel as a city, let's clean up the encampment and get someone into navigation and help them in a collaborative effort. we're work ong reencampment so, one of the things the chief point the out is we should have five zones. we have our whole city but let's focus initially on the castro and civic center. the mission, shell place square. for the last nine months, we've been working and focused into

those areas and then we're finding now that as a result of some displacement, we've moved to other areas like in the northern district and marine and other areas we're seeing individuals show up and we're extending help in that area as well. we're focused on zones and we're all over the city. and the last statistics i'd like to share with you is that two years ago there was 1200 encampments in san francisco. as of the end of june, we were down to 568. i would guess that we're below 500 at this point. we had 268 in the mission and we're down to 40 in the mission at this point. there are no encampments that have more than 15 people anymore. there are no more greater than 20 structures and back in june we had three that had between six and 19 tents. i would say now we would be hard-pressed to find more than one or two of those.

that concludes my presentation. >> thank you, very much, commander. i was on the commission when this started to formulate. we all recognize the need to be collaborative and many members of the public said the police department should not be responding to homeless calls. i agree. we're there for protection. we bolster these teams. i want to thank mayor breed and mayor lee for really taking this seriously. people are concerned about the quality of life in san francisco. it affects the business of tourism. we're all hearing the same thing. from the hotel owners to the merchants and yes, you have caused some of the hardcore homeless to spread out into other neighborhoods. hopefully there's a plan to handle those stragglers who don't want to deal with the

services you are offering. those are important things. this is great. you've done a great job and you are the right person to do this. you never give up. again, i have seen a little bit of a difference. i also think at some point i'm glad the d.a. is on board because i've talked to many folks, i mean, when the issue was bad when i was a d.a., we helped a lot of people with 11.550 because it put people off the street and into recovery because i know that the statute has changed a bit, but do we have officers that are 11.550 certified in the department that some people just need to be taken off the street to be cleaned up. do we have them? >> we do but more importantly, more specifically, we're grateful for our partnership with the department of public-health that has the lead program. the law enforcement assisted diversion program. in lieu of booking, we tell the person, go to the program and so your case doesn't get charged or if you don't go your case gets

charged. >> are you successful with that? >> it's modeled after the seattle police department which was successful and has been branching out through out ought states. in san francisco, we were given a three-year grant to do it. there were only 250 slots so after those slots had filled no other participants could participate in the program. it is a pilot program. hopefully the hope is it will be so successful like seattle, that we will we will be able to make it permanent and divert people into the program because there are only 250 slots for a three-year period which is not a lot when you think about it. and there are so many people out on the streets that are sort of being funneled through the jails because there aren't any other services available toe them. the public defenders office and

the d.a. are all community members that have come to the table to make the program successful. >> that's great. thank you, i know you've been working on that. it's a delicate balance. thank you for what you are doing and i appreciate it. >> thank you very much. >> i had two questions. and this is a great report and i agree it's a delicate issue because some people are saying we shouldn't be moving the camps. the fact we have a mobile command going out with the d.p.h. and the d.p.w. and even the d.a., i think that is commancommend able and it's impt for the police officers not to be the only first responders. i read in the paper today the appellate courts talked about and i wonder you i know more of the department and your partner

per se and the hours and you guys midnight to 6:00 a.m. have you any issues there. >> i'm take the first one. >> if and how that appellate decision will impact our efforts so we're waiting on that and we'll make whatever adjustments if we need to make adjustments. after 11:00 at night to 7:00 in the morning, with the laws, people can't sleep on the sidewalks. in terms of effectiveness, we feel we have adequate coverage at this time to actually deal with what we have to deal with and a lot of it is really the consistency of addressing the issues and with the seven day week coverage we have the consistency now. >> i have one last question. this is proactive which is really great. proactive. it's planned and it's moving people along, hopefully getting

services. one of the issues that the department has is those calls were someone is not -- someone is violent and they're not on their meds and we are the first responders, do we have any department of public-health going out with us on those calls or it's just department? >> what is happening there and i'm glad you brought that point up. the public often doesn't know which number to call and what circumstances situation so when you have a altered mental status and crisis situation it's a 9-1-1 phone call for immediate response by police and e.m.s. personnel. in that case, someone is in that circumstance of a situation we'll go ahead and bring that person by way of e.m.s. to the hospital for maybe a 51-50 evaluation or medical treatment. the department of public-health monitors all those individuals that come no the e.r. room. that information is fed back to our team at healthy streets

operations center. there's a department public-health employee that's monitoring everybody coming through on the high e.m.s. users list and other lists. so that is not in a vacuum or a silo. that is being communicated. what we're trying to get to is having the -- the best practice that we've done before, is having our crisis intervention teams through public-health work shoulder to shoulder with police officers in the field to interact with those that may suffer from mental illness to see what we can do right there on the streets prior to going, a person having to go to the hospital, et cetera. the other point i want to make, i didn't want to step off the podium without making this point, we talk about police problem versus non police problem. we are the first responders and front line is city government. as you mentioned, vice president, regarding public safety and being there for safety purposes. we're telling our officers,

contribute to this issue by being knowledgeable about the resources. we give officers all the resources on two pages. being able to connect people to services first. lead with services. enforcement is last resort. thanks to the department of homelessness and support of housing, they've given the sfpd15 beds for seven-day stay full time. so, that means that we send out an e-mail to ever officer, if you encounter someone overnight, call this number and talk to the supervisor at the division circle navigation center. reserve a bed. drive them there or get them there somehow and get them in there. that's what we're doing. that's what it's all about. in lieu of jail and everything else. is what can we do to help them. >> that was my question, whether they were given the hsoc property housing because it's at a premium the navigation centers are full and homeless shelters are full and there's just no options for people. >> yeah, the department of

homelessness and supportive housing has a priority list and they have priority one and priority two and they're making determinations if you have an elderly or family with children they are the first priority. they have individuals they work on. they talk about 20,000 people total in the city that cycle through this process and many of which get services and help and housing and we're left with the 4,000 we deal with on the streets on a day to day basis. the great news is we have conversations every day about this. if we didn't forever until now. >> thank you. commander, lazar, i just wanted to say i think this is amazing. in any short time in the commission, every time i go out and speak with the community, people throughout the city, homelessness is the number one issue that we're hearing across the board.

the challenges of people that live or work, visit and the city and the issues that are arise. but really, what i wanted to comment on is that, i appreciate your tone. and i think that the way you are approaching this is right on the mark. it's not the sort of -- getting away from the idea of criminalizing homelessness and realizing this is a public-health issue. this is a issue of maybe our own making in a sense and not wanting to just sweep people off the streets or lock them up. i think a lot of times in the commission and in the department we get bogged down with the history and the d.o.j. reforms and looking at other departments. this is one area where it sounds like san francisco is going to be the model. i think that's due to the leadership of the chief and you

and the department. as a commissioner, this makes me happy and proud of the department to see you doing this and the attitude and approach to it and so i wanted to commend you for that. >> thank you. >> anything further? >> thank you for your report. >> thank you. >> greatly appreciated. >> thank you for being there. >> thank you, very much. >> line 2b report on recent d.p. activities and announcements, presentation of these second quarter 2018 physical report presentation of reports summary of cases received, mediation of complaints and companion reports. >> good evening. >> good evening. thank you. i'll start off with some of the staff that i present at the

commission. this year and currently we are at 451 cases that have opened this year. last year at this time we were at 362 cases. you will see there's a spike in the number of cases that have come into the department. i believe it's likely due to the increase outreach that we've been doing. more people are hearing about the agency and coming to the agency and bringing us more cases. in terms of case closed, we're at 391. last year at this time we were at 484. that number des party is due to the cases and in terms of cases pending we have 292 we have 295 cases and it's about the same number and again, that disparity is due to, i think the 3304 cases when those cases were closed when i first came in at

the beginning or the middle of summer from last year. in terms of cases past the 270 day mark, they are case that's have on going investigations beyond 270 days. we are at 26 cases. of those 26, 17 of them are told. meaning they are other agencies investigating or participating in those cases so the time is not tolling. the city attorney's office or the district attorney office. last year at this time we had 63 cases that were passed that mark and the last commissioner asked me about the 3304 cases and i did run a report. your question was when we had the last time we had the 3304 cases in response to me referencing closing or ending the process where the d.b.a. would lose jurisdiction from taking too long in their

investigation. i did run the report. the last 3304 case that we had in the d.p.a. was june of 2017. when i came in in july, since i've come in as director, there have been zero. >> wonderful. >> i was so excited when i got the report. i'm so glad you asked me. anyway, i will continue. we will not -- i will do everything that i can to not have cases lost due to jurisdiction because of a delay in the investigation from my office. i will continue with that. in terms of the hiring of our i.t. director has started. that's a big deal for us. we haven't had an i.t. director for a year. that's been a big problem. we've had several cases that had been in the press about our

website and how difficult it is to use modern technology with the work that we're doing. so now that we have someone that we have hired from the city of berkley, we're really excited about her work and we have fast tracked just in terms of the technology, a number of things that i think will be important. one, the budget was approved for us to get the new website. which is $149,000 in case anyone was wondering just how much it cost to build a website. and the other thing that i think is important about the technology step that we can expect is that we have, we are participating in the program with city hall to work with the tech team. they're going to give us some fellows this year to collaborate with the police department to expand our technology both in how we operate and how we share information between the department. the i.t. director is here and i'm very excited about that.

i will say in terms of outreach, we've had another couple of outreach events this month. here in the audience with me is my chief-of-staff sarah hawkins as well as carlos villarreal. earlier here, before was sharonously. she came just in case you guys might have questions because earlier today, before the meeting, i did distribute two of the commissioners a list of the rules of our mediation. i think we've talked about it a couple of times. i'm preparing something broader. what i will likely do is have something added to the calender to talk about the new changes in mediation in terms of what we've done and how we've reached the program. i've added personnel and names to someone in charge of that process internally. i want today do a full presentation. before we get there, i want to make sure you guys have all the

of the rules just this afternoon before the commission. you already have the reports presented from city charter section 4.136 and police commission 97.4. i will just say, i have not found the reports like this to be as helpful as i think they can be. this will be the last report that you get of this type. it's mandated by those characters that i've given. i'm not going to not report. i'm going to reinterpret so we don't just get a data dump of raw data like this and so the next report that you will be getting in compliance with both of those sections will look more like the annual report. they'll be decipher able and easy to read and understandable to a lay and esoteric audience about our data and information and on going staff. we don't have to wait until the annual report to see what all

these reports look like when it's coal eight and referenced against the things we're talking about that are concurrent with con going subject matter here. >> never again should we lose a case. we know that equates to not understand your watch, it's malpractice. >> it was one of the things this commission asked me to address. i was excited that we've had none since i've been here. that's also that spike that you see in these numbers differrations in terms of cases that were closed out from last year. >> the numbers are confusing and hard to understand. there is a section that i

appreciate, the chief of police adjudication on the d.p.a. sustained cases. with respect to that section, i would like to have statistics with respect to how many cases d.p.a. is sending to the chief and then how many he is actually and in your report it indicates and you indicate four in the month of april 2018. does that four mean that four were sent over to the chief and on four he imposed discipline or were 10 sent over. i'd like to have those number too so compare it to something. the numbers look great but unless we know the full picture it doesn't make sense. >> i agree. i would say that it was confusing to me, even if you turn the page or you look a few more pages, it looks like they're different numbers and

we're talking about the same pages. my presumption is, what has evolved overtime in compliance with those two sections, is that information just gets collabrat and put together and hasn't been processed. y. i will sa.the other thing the is the on going conversation we're having right now about confidentiality to discuss what the issues are and what the differences are both in what the d.p.a. has recommended in terms of a sentence and what the chief has decided on so that we know what we're talking about and not just a distinction and a difference with we recommended this and this was the ultimate sentence without context of anything. >> i do really appreciate that section. the other number or statistic i would like to have is the number of direct files your office does. that you indicate that that is an option that your department has, however, i don't think that i've seen or maybe it's con

voluted how many of direct files in terms of cases where you want a direct file because either you, the department or the d.p.a. or the police department or the chief specifically don't sort of -- can't come to a resolution? >> would you be interested in seeing that as complete separate sections from all this as part of answering that question with an outline of what those cases are? >> i don't know if it needs to be an outline. it would be nice to have a number of how many direct files your department has done and it should be kept in this section because you would outline it very nicely in terms of how the disciplinary process works or how the complaint process works. >> thank you. anything further for director henderson? please call the next line item. >> line 2c commissioners reports. >> we've had a busy schedule so i'll run through this quickly.

we've been very busy. i intended as the chief said, the graduation of our latterral academy class. prior to that two days earlier, i was at engelside station to honor john young killed 47 years ago and the police department honored his memory. i worked on that as a prosecutor in the u.s. attorney office. i wanted to thank the chief and the members of the department and remember john young in our thoughts and prayers and his family. also present was nina, the clerk that was shot that day. she was present and feisty as ever. in addition to that i participated along with other commissioners and meetings with hillard hines, the state d.o.j., i've been busy doing that. i did a meet and co confer along with the command staff members deputy chief sinez and myself

regarding 3.09 wii is medals of valor and the process of that. we've been pretty busy working out those issues. that's what i've been working on in addition to a lot of things. i want to say i think the other commissioners for being on the call. working hard to keep everything in sync as we move forward with the u.s. department of justice. tonight, you heard, not just a handful but probably a dozen to 20 of the recommendations were covered tonight in what we're already doing. the members of the public, it's on going and it's happening. commissioners, what would you like to report? anything further? >> we did have a buy as meeting on the 30th of this. we're going over d.j.o.5.2 and another bias working group. we don't have a date yet but it will be posted and advertised. i welcome the community to come and participate in the working group.

>> thank you. >> i got a promotion. >> i just wanted to note i attended a working group for the deaf and hard of hearing initiative, which is a group of individuals that the department was there. d.p.a., the mayor's office on disability was there. they're working on putting together a new general order that will be rolled out. hopefully soon. there was also a -- i'm blanking on her name. we mentioned her before. inspector flores' daughter who was from the -- we all know him from the hall. his daughter is working on an initiative as well and -- it's a

pretty exciting project because it's one of the issues that i think people don't pay attention to but there's been some media articles lately in other jurisdictions about issues with individuals and having communication difficulties with officers and departments working together with d.p.a. and the community to address that. i look forward to seeing that move along. >> anything further commissioners? >> clerk: line 2d commission announcements and scheduling of items identified for consideration at future meetings action. the next meeting i'd like to add will be next week on september 12th, 2018 at 5:30 p.m. in room 400 at city hall. the commissioner will be dark on 9-19-18. >> with reference to now adding things to the agenda, i would like to calender for our agenda after having discussions with the chief, for us to have a discussion and an action item on

october 10th, which is our second meeting in october, about discussing our participation in the joint terrorism task force. it's an issue we need to discuss again. there is no m.o.u. we'd like to get input from the public and hopefully input from the federal. it's something we need to discuss as a commission. >> i'd like for a calender and i talked to the commissioners. wealth and disparities group would like to make a presentation to this commission and we had asked for a date? september but we're only meeting one next time in september. the commissioners is proposing october 10th for presentation and i'll get become to you on that. i'd like to get the calender. >> we will. any further announcements. >> please call. >> the public is now invited to

participate and items 2a through 2d. >> please come forward. >> you were talking about and also your earliest statements about handling cases and the statue of limitations and statue of limitations and as assisted you and taking care of business and a better swift way and have more enforcement and rules regulations and as a result and turn. the court of appeals has ruled that the sit and lie law is unconstitutional. when you deal with the district attorney, feel free to inform him that that is a violation of the eighth amendment pertaining to cruel and unusual punishment.

there will be no more arrests pertaining to people who are homeless in economically disadvantaged and don't have nowhere to go. it says it clearly. you cannot criminalize a content of unavoidable consequences of people who are being homeless. also, i would like to have you enforce one of my demonstrations that i made this past tuesday, before the board of supervisors, i'm having trouble with breed. breed has pleaded the first half of the elements in order to sustain a reek owe act violation complaint and corrupt an organize enterprise by making announcements to the public that she's going to allow safe-injection sites at a church. she went to the church and demonstrating the booth and the paraphernalia that will be used. as a result, if she completes the second half of those elements by means of having

addicts bring heroine into the church and having them use fake lighter to meltdown that solid heroine component and convert it into a liquid and use a syringe and inject it into their body, she'll complete the last steps of organized corrupt enterprise of using a illegal narcotics. you will meet the franchise requirements of having hundreds of addicts coming to clyde memorial church and use that illegal narcotics and the premises of clyde memorial church. there's a 20-year possible maximum penalty for performing in that manner. there's a $500,000 fine that also can be applied to all individuals who were involved in this activity. and also, seizure of the property that can be taken away from the owners and taken and

managed by the federal. so i need to have you explain breed. she has doctors that are going along with her and they're using britain, foreign countries as a president. that won't work. it doesn't supersede federal law. there's a law. they're trying to get brown to sign a document in order to make it legal as far as state law but state law does not supersede in over paw federal law. ryan goldsteen made that announcement and i want to see him prosecuted. >> thank you, very much. next speaker. >> may it please the commission. my name is john jones.

there's a lot to comment on of course that is proceeded on the agenda. throw minutes is not enough time to do that. in all due respect to the date comrade dushinski of the soviet k.g.b. i would like to suggest you give it to the speakers of this podium. anyone who utters one of the unidentified and secret words can be taken to an insulated room in the basement for reeducation. call tractor-traile it the litt. more seriously, i wish commander lazar all the luck in the world. i really do. from my perspective, and i've lived in san francisco since august of 1965.

san francisco to me as the ambiance of an occupied city. we don't have the band marching up on market street. there aren't foreign flags flying from flag polls up and down market street. but the feeling that deadness of the city, i put it -- in my own unscientific way to the street population. criminals, homeless, drug users, and the deadening effect that that has. there are of course other reasons in my time is running down. i want to wish -- i can't wish commander lazar more luck and good fortune than i couldn't wish him anymore. thank you, very much. >> thank you. next speaker.

>> brad edwards district 11. fellow citizen earlier mentioned the martin case, martin v city of boys' case. i am curious with hsoc whether it came down yesterday whether this is considered, if there's obstacles. and whether it's compliant. i know generally we don't make a habit of arresting people for sleeping on the sidewalk but i would note chief scott specifically said people can't just sleep on the sidewalk. as of yesterday and the ninth circuit maybe it's not the case anymore but i am not here to crack on chief scott. i appreciate him for all he has taken. we talk of the d.o.j. recommendation, i know that those are going to, we have to

approve those and there was one minor change. one fear i have is that this is being put through in and wore getting two more commissioners that will be voted on and it's another step towards bringing in the electronic recontrolled weapons. my concern. >> cynthia: they've been voted to be approved, however, we have not addressed the training and the use aspects. i know there's more dethales that can be deployed and those are my concerns. it's very difficult to train -- to vet and train cops we currently have given our system of law enforcement. not necessarily they're bad people but our system, i feel, is defined for failure, particularly in this situation where we have low unemployment and it's difficult for the department to get all of the competent officers they wish to. i was curious on the discussion

of woods. i note it was officer trudeau, like the canada prime minister, i don't recall his exact -- noted that the officer thought someone, that the victim had died. i guess i would say it shouldn't be the result, it should be the action. i would note vice president, i appreciate when you grow that sfpd should not be responding to homeless calls. i assumed what you mean is if we get to design our system from the ground up we would do it very differently. i would agree with that completely as well. i appreciate your time. >> thank you, very much. >> next speaker. >> public comment is closed. call the next line item. >> clerk: discussion and possible action to recommend the

adoption of a resolution authorizing the chief of police to accept an extended grant in 197,648 from the state of california. department of parks and recreation division of water waste for the sfpd marine unit for the project period of october 1, 2018 through september 302,019th. action. >> good evening. my name is patrick young i'm the grant's manager for the san francisco police department. per requesting the approval or recommendation from the commission for the resolution of our 2018 voting safety enforcement grant award from the division of boating waterways of the california department of parks and recreation. the total grant award is $197,648. the project per idea for this

award is october 1, 2018 to september 30th, 2019. the total term of the agreement runs from october 1st, 2018 and ends september 31, 2033. the grant funds will upgrade the navigation systems on our 2012 boat and 2013 boat. it will be used to provide search and rescue equipment on our 2012 patrol vessel as well as diving equipment. additionally, the grant will pay for two personal watercraft with a vessel trailer. the personal watercraft will be used in scenarios where conditions do not allow the use of larger vessels to operate safely and effectively. our marine unit is primary

maritime law enforcement unit for the city and county of san francisco and it's responsible foresee curin -- securing and te moose boats and it will provide the marine unit with updated search and rescue equipment and also improve it's navigation capabilities to safeguard our waterways and to improve our rescue operations. if you have any questions, i'm glad to answer them. >> thank you, very much. commissioners, you have in where you packet a breakdown of this. we have an extensive marine unit. the commissioner is very partial to the marine unit. they took her out on the boat. [laughter] >> we have several boats and it's an incredible thing. >> most of the equipment that we have received is from the

military. we would get the boats for $1 or $20 and so again, it's been really helpful and we are the chief law enforcement agency on the waterways and they're busy. are there any questions about this? do i have a motion to accept the grant? >> so moved. >> second. >> second. >> a public comment about us getting money for our boats and navigation systems? hearing none, all in favor. >> go ahead. >> i stipulate lat, if you get y type of boats that was used in the tragedy that took place where a tote family was lost. these boats used in world war ii should not be used. it should be banned because they're not equipped to handle any type of high tide and any turnover and people were drowning all the time. they should have been banned years ago so as long as you
