>> the 100% attendance for our

mediators who are able to get some training in terms of subject matter expertise, doing the work that we do in public safety with our mediation cases. any way, so that's the outreach. i have a substantive announcement in terms of the work that we do, before the quarterly report. in terms of the work that we do, this is the first time ever that we have hit this new milestone, that the average caseload is now 14 cases perinvestigator, which is a big deal for our agency. it's been well over 20 cases for a number of years. this time last year, it was at 23. so the most recent report that had been critical of the agency

a few years ago talked about the best practices number for the investigators. we've never been at that number. i believe it was 16 perinvestigator, so this is the first time we have been there, and -- as long as anyone who's been keeping records, where we are actually at the property caseload for the investigators. we're still in the process of bringing in investigators. this number was achieved by bringing in the latest wave of investigators, having them trained and having been finally able to spread out the cases appropriately. the other big milestone for the agency is our average case closure has finally dropped significantly in terms of the length of time that the investigators are able to complete their investigations. we are currently at 140 days for the average case closure. that's 4.5 months. this time last year, we were at 266 days, which is over nine

months, and the numbers were bigger than that in past years. so we are becoming more professional in addressing the length of time that it takes for us to both investigate our cases and the inclusion of 343 cases where the organization lost jurisdiction, so that number's even bigger if we count those cases. and again, as a reminder, we

have had no 3304 cases since i came on in july. we've been able to address those. in terms of the -- it's been included in the material, and i think this is the second part of the report. the monthly stats, what we've done in the past as i read them -- and i think i announced this last year -- or last month, that we were no longer going to be doing the older reports that you guys were used to getting the e-mails on, the ten-page summary with a number of charts, but i want to walk-through a little bit about what the new charts are, how they are and what they mean. we made a number of important changes. many of the reports that are

duplicitous. all of the charts will have all the same information, just new reports. what we've added is a side by side comparison of the cases that have been received each month versus last year. we've also added a five year comparison to add more information and greater transparency about the work that's been done. we've also divided how the complaints have been received into color coded tree graphs. i don't know if you can see, it's in color, but it's in black and white. you just have to trust me. i'm color blind, but it's -- trust me, it's in color. trust the color blind guy. they tell me it's in color. i believe them. hopefully, they're telling me

the truth. the other thing we did was we took out the dispositional sustain complaints -- well, we didn't take it out, but it's in the quarterly report. you're having a more thorough analysis in the quarterly reports, and we're going to go over those in a second, as well. the other thing, we want to give more explanation, we're looking at the 1421 compliance to figure out what we're allowed to put in that information, so that's a flag for what's to come. the other big thing that's important i think is our six month goal. in the next six months, what i'm trying to do is get all this information available on-line on an interactive on-line dashboard, so you'll be able to

click on the graphs and filter by date to see the number and types of complaints that are filed whenever you want. i will note what i did not change or modify was the information about the types of cases or complaints that are coming in so you can still see all of that information. you're not losing any information from what we've presented. in the pa -- presented in the past. it's just a little bit hopefully easier to read. i'll leave that to you to see if that's true, but everything you looked for in the reports should still all be there. and just by recognizing that if anyone has commentary about the organization here present in the room are two of my staff, who are here and able to answer questions, as well, for anyone.

>> thank you. that wasn't that long. commissioner elias? >> commissioner elias: thank you. i do like the visuals. one thing i was going to ask, i had asked last time numbers with respect to -- and i don't know if this was going to be in the quarterly report, but sort of your recommendations when it comes to discipline and then what happens when it goes to the chief and how you're tracking that data because i think that data is very important for us to also analysis -- analyze and review. >> that's going to be in the quarterly data, and it's going to have tracking discrepancies versus what was reported and what was ultimately decided onto the agree versus what i recommended and the department imposed. >> commissioner elias: yes -- yeah. >> commissioner mazzucco: commissioner hamasaki. >> director henderson, regarding

outreach, have you or anyone in your office done anything to coordinate -- looking down this dais at all of our criminal defense and prosecutors, have you coordinated with the public defender's office and district attorney's office to help distribute materials to people that are on the front lines, the victims, witnesses, defendants in the system? it would seem like those are some people that definitely had an interaction, maybe positive, maybe negative, just neutral. >> i'm glad you asked that because i forgot to talk about it. it was on here, and i forgot because it just happened today. so today, d.p.a. staff went out to the public defender's office and made those presentations and did a training for the entire staff out there about both how the organization works and how complaints and information can be sent to the d.p.a. i will say that -- that same

thing was already done or is included in the m.o.u. that the organization drafted and signed with the district attorney's office, as well. so i think there's still some -- some areas that i'd like to flush out in the future, both with the courts, because i think there's an opportunity for us to have, if nothing else, a better relationship about how each other is operating and when there are instances for us to work together and share information. but literally, it just happened a few hours ago. they just finished it. >> great and are they provided with the materials to distribute? >> they were left with material both for the organization and for them to share with their clients. >> thank you. >> that's why -- it just happened a couple of hourgz. that's why i forgot. >> thank you. i can remember as a young d.a.,

the o.c.c. and the public defender's office shared the same building, it was one stop shopping. their public defender's would send them down stairs, and they would make a complaint against the police officer, and one would wonder about that motivation, so i just wanted to put that on the record, they would meet with the public defender and literally walk down stairs and file their complaint. >> there were issues that came up that many of the public defenders had and wanted to know, like whether or not they had to make their client available for interview when and if they could say information and what would happen to their clients. >> it was interesting dynamic. >> that was years ago, i mean, right? >> it was a long time ago. >> thank you, commissioner elias. yeah, long before. >> i did have one other thing to

mention in case i didn't mention it during the changes that we were making, these files and forms that you were getting contained some obsolete information that is no longer relevant, the old one. used to contain information like complaints that had been withdrawn and they were tracking weird stuff. these forms and reports have not been updated to this commission in over ten years, so i just wanted to give some context to -- >> commissioner mazzucco: i just want to put on the record, commissioner dejesus, who was in the public defender's office at that time, did refer clients to the o.c.c. >> thank you very much. >> commissioner mazzucco: thank you. please call next line item. >>clerk: commissioner items and reports. commissioner discussion will be limited to any issues raised for a future meeting. commissioner's reports,

commission president's reports. >> commissioner mazzucco: i don't have anything to report. commissioners? call the next line item. >>clerk: commission announcements, line items, ideas for future meetings. >> commissioner mazzucco: do we have an announcement? >>clerk: we do. next week, the commission will be attending the sfpd commission of valor at 6:00 p.m. the commission will be dark for november 21 and november 28 and meet again here at city hall december 5, 2018, room 400, at 5:30. >> commissioner mazzucco: thank you. commissioner hirsch? >> commissioner hirsch: yes, thank you. we received yesterday a 96-a report, the quarterly report, and it's 130 pages long, and there's an executive summary that's about 19 pages long. i find that stuff fascinating.

it's important data for us. it has arrest data, it has use of force data, it has the demographics of the population that's involved, it has the demographics of the police officers. and i know the department had gone to an outside agency, maybe a university, to help us analyze that. and i'm really anxious to hear a report on that. i need help -- because there's some data in here that's really promising, and i think there's data in here that's disturbing, and i really can't decipher it. so i hope we can get somebody in the next meeting or the meeting after that that can come and make a presentation on 96-a. the other request i'd make is we get it more than a day in advance of the meeting. i'm reading it now as i go along. i read the executive report earlier this morning, but i'm reading the full report now, but

i need help. >> commissioner mazzucco: if we can put that in the second meeting in december. i know when it came in the mail, it was 3 megabytes. >> chief, do we now have a university group that has given us an opinion or an evaluation of the reports? [inaudible] >> it would be great to hear either from them or somebody in your department who has the expertise to explain what they've received, but i'd really like to hear from somebody to help us decipher what we're seeing. >> we can definitely do that. >> commissioner mazzucco: thank you. commissioner hamasaki.

>> commissioner hamasaki: thank you, president mazzucco. i'd like to schedule a hearing to discuss what the department is doing to address and combat the rise and the proliveration of white nationalism and right wing violence in our community. we've seen a lot of things at the national level, the terrorist bombings that were sent to our local politicians, including kamala harris. we've had a synagogue massacre of our jewish brothers and sisters. i know we had a some incidents a few years back relating to some demonstrations, and i think there was an article in the new york times a few days ago about law enforcement's addressing

white nationalism. i'd like to hear what the department's doing to address this, obviously, within the confines of dgoa 10 of course, but i'd like to hear that. >> commissioner mazzucco: when would be a good time to schedule that? it would be when our special investigations unit would be involved, along with the f.b.i. >> yes. we can do that through operations and f.o.b. >> commissioner mazzucco: okay. maybe we can do that along the 5th of december? [inaudible] >> commissioner mazzucco: all right. commissioner dejesus? >> commissioner dejesus: and i'm sure the people saw that the building 606 raised its head again, the e.p.a. said the navy is using antiquated or obsolete technique for testing, and that they don't trust it and they're very upset with the navy. i did discuss it with commissioner mazzucco, and we were going to put it on today,

but i think we're going to delay that and have it a little bit down the road so we can find out what we're doing, and if we're able to move our personnel there. given the fact that the two government agencies, they're having a discussion, and given the fact that the e.p.a. is very concerned about the obsolete way it's being tested. >> am, and we were still working, still waiting on some testing results. but in the meantime, we're preparing for that report, so -- >> commissioner mazzucco: i will say i did speak to the chief and the p.o.a. about it, and suffice it to say, it's not ripe for tonight, but there are plans being put in place to do what's necessary. >> commissioner dejesus: and also distributing the information to the beat officers. when we visited the local district stations, that was a concern that some of the officers had. that question arose, and commissioner hamasaki and i -- it was after the meeting where

commissioner mazzucco and commissioner dejesus had addressed some of the issues and we had a presentation, so i just want to make sure that information is being trickled down to the local district stations so they have that information with respect to the status of the building. >> commissioner mazzucco: and also present with us is matt brave with the p.o.a. regarding that situation. anything further? please call public comment. >>clerk: public comment on items 3 a through 3d? mr. jones? >> good evening. my name is john jones. i'd like to comment briefly, if i may, on commander lozar's report. i mean none of this discourteously. an alternate strategy is described in michael moore's

movie. i don't remember the name of the movie, but he went around to various countries around the world, and one country he went to, as i recall, was portugal. and there, they don't use the criminal justice system to deal with drugs, and there was some information how it worked, and it worked out well. i'll get the name of the movie if you're interested. commander lozar's report i think leaves out various aspects of the drug situation. the burden of incarceration, our government activity supports high drug crisis, and most importantly and rarely mentioned, the chaos inflicted on mexico by american drug

habits. but one thing that this -- commander lozar's report cannot describe because it is indescribable is how good this drug makes you feel. i had an operation maybe 30 years ago, and i had access to demerol, synthetic heroin, and let me tell you, the first time i had a shot of demerol, i knew immediately why people would live that lifestyle just to get access to that drug. i think it is unreasonable to request a typical -- [inaudible] >> -- not to get access to heroin if in fact it were available. >> commissioner mazzucco: thank you very much. any further public comment? >> thank you. >> commissioner mazzucco: hearing none, public comment's now closed. please call the next line item. >>clerk: item four, discussion and possible action to recommend that the board of supervisors

adopt a resolution authorizing the chief of police to accept and expend a grant in the amount of $5,304,000 from the bureau of justice statistics to implement the national incident based reporting system for sfpd action, and i would like to announce that director mcguire's powerpoint was made available to the commission just prior to the start of the meeting. there are copies here for the public, and the commission will post this powerpoint on its website tomorrow morning. >> commissioner mazzucco: good evening, mr. mcguire -- director mcguire. >> vice president mazzucco, chief, members of the department. my name is kathrin mcguire, i'm the chief financial officer for the police department, and i am glad to meet all of the new commissioners. you'll be seeing me coming this

new budget season and perhaps sooner. today, we are asking for your consideration in the process to move forward to an accept and expend process with the board of supervisors to accept a $5.3 million grant from the bureau of justice statistics in order to get the department compliant with the new nivrs system. so with that, i'm going to give you a previous overview of what that is, the resources that will be needed to comply, and then of course, lastly, a little bit about the grant that we applied for and have been awarded to get to compliance. so nivrs in general is going to be the u.c.i. replacement.

this system, nibrs, national incident based reporting system, will be replacing that method. so it is incident based rather than summary based, so when we submit reporting to the federal government, our reporting is tallied up into categories and submitted as a package, as a total number. and so in this case, we would actually be sending every incident that happened and some of the high-level information about those incidents to the federal government rather than a summed total. this -- nibrs is always all offenses -- all offenses in an incident based system. this is all very technical, so when we send a crime to the f.b.i., we are tallying only the

most severe crime that happened in any incident, and many crimes may have actually occurred in each incident. so you may have an assault and theft and many other things that occur in one incident, but we only send the most severe type of crime when we report. so how does nibrs help the department? eventually, it allows for more granularity. it allows for better data collection which allows us to better analyze data in the long run. and then, the question becomes how do we implement this? so the resources that we really need are we need a lot of planning and -- 'cause we don't know what we don't know yet, and one of the things we need to do is assess the impact to both our

crime data warehouse and our records management systems of varying types and sizes, and we have to be able to then design a business process as well as design a system that then will being compliant with nibrs. so get back to our system and other systems, i'm referring to other agency systems that plug into our system. so juvenile probation, for instance, has a system that connects to us. we would need to understand how nibrs affects us and the system and, say, juvenile probation. and then, the protection side, we would also need systems development, and this -- as you can imagine, planning is going to be a very big component of this grant. and the actual systems

development once the planning is over should be relatively easy. the testing and go live also is another component that we would need resources to get us fully compliant. so this grant that we have been awarded gets us there. it gets us essentially all of the things that i just listed out -- the planning, the scoping, the business design, the actual development of our system, it gets us those things. so the total being $5.3 million. it is over the next three years, going from october 2018 to september 2021. and that's the general -- just the high level information about this grant. some other information is we believe that this is the last year that this funding will be

available, so the ex-banding this money at the federal -- expanding this money at the federal level. finally, this is a contribution of nongeneral fund dollars that we don't have to -- we have now obtained. we've obtained this money, we've been awarded it. if we were to go and ask these funds from the general fund or from the city, the chances of us getting the money is a little -- we're competing for a lot of technology dollars all around the city, so this $5.3 million really represents a significant investment for the police department. and then, finally, the things that are in scope and out of scope. finally, all of the implementation things listed above, and out of scope are any development required in other departments. as i said, we don't know what we don't know yet.

the grant helps us understand what we don't know yet, as well as actually doing the development in the police department. with that, i will conclude. >> commissioner mazzucco: commissioner hamasaki. >> commissioner hamasaki: any concerns, downsides to accepting this or any limitations on the funds, other than the ones you mentioned, that in scope and out of scope? >> i'm not aware of any limitations or downsides. we are looking at all of the terms and conditions and doing a final review of the terms and conditions in the grant agreement. >> commissioner hamasaki: thank you. >> commissioner mazzucco: commissioner hirsch? >> commissioner hirsch: last year funding means going forward, you're going to have to go and ask city hall for money,

and the costs will increase or remain the same incrementally. >> that's correct. >> commissioner hirsch: so this is not something that we will be -- that will be getting less expensive going forward? >> that's correct hirsch hirs. >> commissioner hirsch: that's a problem going forward. >> yes. technology seems to get more expensive as we go along. >> commissioner hirsch: is the current funding being cut because of the administration in washington or you're not sure? >> i think nibrs, there is a deadline of 2020. i really couldn't speak to what the logic at the federal level was on this particular funding stream. >> commissioner hirsch: okay. thanks. >> commissioner mazzucco: any further questions? do i have a motion to accept $5.3 million for our reporting, which is actually required by the d.o.j.? >> so moved. >> commissioner mazzucco: do i have a second? >> second.

>> commissioner mazzucco: is there any public comment regarding these funds? hearing none, public comment is closed. all in favor? [voting] >> commissioner mazzucco: thank you very much. please call the next item. [agenda item read] >> commissioner mazzucco: good evening, mr. jones. >> i'd like to allude briefly, if i may, to the iacp police chief community police policing strategic plan, which was

introduced last week. the plan is flawed, and it's flawed for a basic reason by city government and government in general. that is if the society that you're dealing with lacks social capital, the way to improve that social capital is not through the action of government, especially the police department what this plan describes is how members of the san francisco police department interacts with the community. it is fraught with failure. that's not what police departments are for.

i'd like to make a comment with regard to folks who live in the tenderloin. if you're dealing with someone whose life has devolved, living on government grants on skid row, it is not reasonable to expect that person to abstain from the use of illegal drugs. >> commissioner mazzucco: thank you, mr. jones. is there any other public comment? hearing none, public comment is now closed. please call the next item. [agenda item read]

>> commissioner mazzucco: any public comment regarding our closed session matter? hearing none, public comment on closed session is now closed. next item.

[agenda item read] >> commissioner mazzucco: do i

have a motion for nondisclosure? so moved. >> second. >> commissioner mazzucco: all in favor? [voting] >> commissioner mazzucco: okay. thank you very much, please call the last line item.
