different days for their work up there. homeland security has been continuing with multiple meetings and exercises. in december, chief cochran continued to facilitate police academy, fire operations instructions so we worked together on the scene of a fire. he is continued his work with d.e.m., the office of resiliency, coast guard, and others to bolster our planning and response coordination in a disaster. he is also expanded that of late to include boma and to include large companies that have thousands of employees whether it's the sales force building, twitter, those kinds of companies and all this pre planning is going to empower their employees so they're not part of the problem. and they can actually be part of the solution during a disaster. and enable us to do the most good for the most number of people. last but not least, chief cochran has been studying hard

and getting ready for pilot school for his drone class. that concludes my report. happy to take any questions. >> thank you, very much for your competence reportment we'll ask for public comment. seeing none. the commissioners will chime in at this particular point. vice president covington. >> thank you mr. president. thank you for your report, chief. i just have one quick question. what is the office of resiliency? >> i'm not sure who they're under? are they under the city administrator? they work on building a more resilient san francisco in terms of disaster, homelessness, neighborhood outreach, that kind of thing. we've been working with them.

they have a neighborhood empowerment network that we've been working closely with them on with nert to ensure that everyone is cared for in a disaster. >> thank you. >> commissioner hardeman. >> than{t

door. they had fosters, the ice milk and i'm sitting there very happy and someone behind me started talking about a.w.s. and the bond money and d.p.w. and it was a conversation i wasn't too good at. i lis end more. i probably would like to talk to someone about -- like what you were saying. you will do a further explanation on the $125 million. who would i talk to? it would be best to talk about with that. >> you can talk to myself, chief rivera, olivia scanlynn. they're well-versed in it. >> james ready. >> he has been off for a little bit. >> that way in case i -- she is close to tom and upset with the

fire department for the way the western half of the city is not prepared for a fire. anyway -- i got to update myself on that. the other thing was you talked about the drones with chief cochran. another airport yesterday, newark i think, was hammered with that. these drones are becoming sort of -- with london getting shut down, we have these idiots out there having fun shutting down airports. their purpose is not known. that's sad to see because i'm a drone proponent but you hate to see that kind of activity going on. >> that will not happen with a drone in chief cochran's hands. you can guarantee that. >> thank you. >> that's very reassuring. [laughter] >> thank you, very much, commissioner hardeman.

commissioner veronese. >> chief, what's the update on 35? >> on 35? >> yeah. >> so, it is, of course i didn't put it in here. >> if you know. if you don't know. >> we are currently working with the port on an agreement, an m.o.u. agreement, for the new station 35. they also wanted to include the old station 35 in that m.o.u. agreement and we wanted to separate the two out. we are in discussions with them to get that all hammered out. the chief has been in contact with elaine forbes as has olive yan scanlan. we've had meetings with them to hammer that out so it doesn't delay any of our timeframe for getting station 35 done.

>> is it under construction? >> no. it's not. >> we haven't started on that yet? >> no, we haven't. that has to be, i believe the platform has to be shipped over from china and then it will be constructed over at treasure island. >> do we have a time frame? >> not yet. >> how does that m.o.u. work? is there a payment between the two entities? >> yes. again, that may be separated out. the operational part. yes, the port does want -- the port currently pays us some funding for our personnel staffing the fire boat. for those operations. they want, as part of this m.o.u. for us to pay rent moving forward on the new fire station. >> is that a new thing? >> yes, we've been paying very

bill, i believe, in terms of rent. if any at all. >> so they want rent for a floating fire station that floats in the bay? >> yes, correct. renting the water space, as i understand it. >> i would be curious to see that m.o.u. when it gets done. if you can send it over that would be great. those are the two departments that involved negotiating with each other. is there any other city agency that is involved? the mayor's office or the board? >> right now we're working it out between ourselves and i think we have a good handle on t we're making good progress. >> the two new fire trucks, have they been assigned to a station? >> we have a list of the six stations they'll go to, yes. >> has that been announced? >> no. >> i guess all the ambulances are going 49.

and those. >> you said we have 15 that will be en route. >> hopefully 10 will be in route in february and then five following that, i'm not sure if march or april or when. yeah. >> ok. >> thank you, chief. >> thank you, very much, commissioner veronese. i have a couple of comments. i very much appreciate your comprehensive report. i know that you know that this commission is very interested in the training facility that we're talking about. when there's more to report, in terms of progress, of what is going on, it would be very much appreciated and i know that in terms of the information for the commission. i also wanted to let you know that beyond commissioner veronese's question on station

35, there was a question on the art work that has been projected. at some point, when is appropriate, if we can have some information in terms of that as well. the other important information is 2019 easter bond. this easter bond, as i hear it, correct me if i'm wrong, has a lot to do with the training facility in terms of the dollar figure. i think you threw $150 million out on that. my question to you, chief, is $150 million adequate for us in terms of the training facility? >> right, we are still looking at that. it's not set in stone just yet. we're having those conversations within other departments within the city about that. >> again, with the commissioners' favor, if there's an opportunity to enhance that figure to our needs, that is

utmost in terms of importance. i also know that the awss as we know it is part of that easter bond. >> correct. >> in terms of commissioner hardeman's comments in terms of the easter bond, i think there needs to be a continuing dialogue with the neighborhoods on the south side as well as richmond that this department is paying attention and that there's a lot of detail and information in terms of it being a big price in terms of the that. i think chief, the concept of close tenders is an important concept for the public to know about that we are trying to do something about it within the range. not just sitting around waiting for the complete awss system out there. i think the citizens out there need to know this commission is serious, the department is serious and we're trying to do something about it. finally, chief, i know that there's a volunteer appreciation

luncheon january 30th. could you give us a little more information. is that volunteer appreciation for any particular component of the department? what is that? >> do you have more information, chief. >> i believe so. lieutenant baxter has organized it. it is to highlight some of the volunteers that show up to a whole variety of different events to support -- whether it's the toy programs, to accompany us on a parade. that kind of thing. i don't have the invite list. i don't know if it's -- i think it may be an open invitation. i can get you more information. i'm looking on my calender and you are right, it's january 30t. first flor of headquarters. >> i just wanted to remark on that as well because, the

department knows chief hayes-white. we talk about nert but those volunteers out there, i think it's a great thing for us as a department to recognize the volunteers and so commissioners, if you are available on january 30th at 11:00, i have every intention to come by and thank those volunteers. there's usually good food as well. i think that that goes a long way. i just wanted to be able to say that as well. at this particular point, chief nickolson, i don't have any other comments. thank you for your report. >> vice president covington. >> thank you, mr. president. i just have a follow-up question regarding the training facility and the 150 million-dollar potential pricetag. since a location has not been identified and locked down and

we don't know how much it will cost to purchase the facility, how much it will cost to do any grating, all of that prep work and whether or not there's toxic that need to be removed, how long do we have to determine wht the real number is? >> it's on the 201 bond. 2019 bond. that's coming up quickly. those are concerns of ours as well in terms of what the land is going to cost, is there any clean up necessary. we're having those discussions. we know that it may play a part in cutting into that $150 million. so we don't want it to. so, we are still -- again that number, $150 million is not set in stone. we are going to advocate,

continue to advocate for ourselves. >> what is the timeframe? since the bond has been moved from 2020 to 2019, there has to be a figure attached to that so that the voters can say oh, yayo nay. i expect they will say yay. san francisco -- >> i can get you the timeframe that was from the meeting that i went to yesterday. i'll make sure to forward that to maureen. >> i would assume that's coming up fairly quickly. >> yes. >> ok. >> there's a meeting, i'll be sitting down with the mayor's chief-of-staff next monday afternoon. >> ok. >> on this topic. and on the awss topic. on the elements of the easter bond.

>> thank you. >> thank you mr. president. covington.ou vice president madam secretary. thank you very much, chief nickolson. >> item 6, commissioner report. report o commission activities since last meeting, january 9th, 2019. >> is there any report that you would like to offer at this particular time? an update as such? commissioner veronese. >> just briefly. thank you mr. president. i did want to report that, without naming names, i did visit two members of the department at saint francis hospital who were recovering. to wish them well on behalf of the commission. i did, in typical fashion, bring them stella pastries from north beach. that made the visitors happy. and then also today, i did

attend the stress unit meeting. which i thought was very informative. they had some guest speakers there that experts that came and spoke to them about stress management and techniques and that type of thing. i'm pleased to report that the support of this chief, that unit has trained in this department has trained, i believe it's 60 members of the department for stress unit -- or stress-related identification and management. i think that it's a great start to where i'm hoping this department will go in developing a peer support unit pursuant to the resolution that we passed back in october. i'm looking forward to the chief's report. i did speak with the chief afterwards. it's probably going to require a little bit more time than the

february 21 date. whatever we can get going for that february 21 date, to get back to the commission on progress would be very helpful. i was surprised to hear -- i know that we are going to be losing a member of the stress unit. as the commission has been notified and that we are looking for a replacement for that manager in the stress unit. that is a physician that is going to be very hard to -- position very hard to fill and hard to keep because of the level of work and the intensity of the type of work that these two individuals conduct on a daily basis. i learned some interesting facts. i pressed them for interesting information. i know that the recent fire at clay street, where we lost two people, two citizens of the city and one firefighters was injured. i know that from that incident

alone, there were a number of people that contacted the stress unit. upon further digging in, i was told today that on average in the last year, about 140 members contacted, regularly for some sort of outreach to the stress unit last year. now, if you think about that number, that's about 10% of the department. it's a big number. the staffing of th the -- the dy staffing 106 fire stations in san francisco. that's a big number. i say that publicly because i want the commission to know that this is something that is important to the members of the department. it's not something that's talked about regularly and that's the second reason i wanted to

mention this publicly. there's a stigma within all fire departments and police departments and first responders that you don't reach out to people for health. we are seeing our members do that, which is great. i don't think that the members know that so many members are reaching out. i think that's a really good thing. we can catch these stress levels at an early stage as opposed to having to deal with them at a late stage which is what this stress unit, the two members of the stress unit are having to deal with and they're overwhelmed. i'm looking forward to the chiefs continued support on this particular report and her report how we create a state of the art stress unit. and there are state level

resources force that. looking forward and hoping for the best. >> thank you, very much. in terms of this particular report, i wanted to report out, that i have reached out to the president and vice president of the health commission this is in light of the discussion of shared information but shared costs. or some revenue source on the discussion we've had. i wanted to report the president, dr. ed chow, dr. james lawson were very open to that and i have checked out with the commission wally in terms of the proper procedures in order for us to conduct that one of the goals with a joint

meeting with the health commissioners is information. all of the dialogue and information we have on the fire commission i'm not so sure they're a very of that in detail. as point of information as chief hayes-white indicate, 1997 is when we inherited ambulance services and there was a joint meeting between the fire ctmmission and heath commission to launch that particular program. there has been precedent set, i've been trying to find out the proper procedure a again dieing sunshine as to if myself and the vice president from this commission might be able to start conversations with the president and vice president to the joint meeting and start the dialogue in terms of what we're doing and what the cost is with that kind of endeavor. i also want to let you know that i have also reached out to two

of the commissioners of the social services commission because there are lips that we have there. a longstanding commission and commissioner james mawe're also talking to them because the at venturality is if we me meet wih the health commissioners, reach out with the social services commission. that fact with-the dialogue we had tonight, it seems obvious that we should have some relationship with the homeless department as well. the mandate is clear in terms of the homeless population but the shared cost and the concerns are universal if you will. and so i also think that it's important for us to talk to the hospital council as well so this fire commission can be proactive and start dialogue between the health commission, social service commission, the homeless department, but also the hospital council so we can get some idea in terms of costs but

also shared responsibilities as well. so i wanted to report that out as developmental. we'll see how it goes as time progresses. i wanted to report that. on another note, i've been thinking very hard on trying to create a mentorship program from the commissioners to the members of the department. the whole goal of the mentorship program is that we could reach out to the members of the department. in my opinion, it doesn't have to be anybody that's an officer or a ranked member, the concept is to be open to the membership in order to have some relationships from the membership to the commission. when i was a instructor at san francisco state university, i had a program called the faculty state program where they were attached to undergraduate students and a relationship was occurring with faculty members so that there could be communication and coordination

and also concept of leadership development or just in terms of good relations. so i'm going to try to find some information as to how we can formalize that. the unofficial basis and i'm offering out myself to the membership to those members who are interested in gathering into a concept of mentorship. i have reached out to the black firefighters, i have reached out to the asian firefighters, i will reach out to the rest of the groups to see what kind of interest that is there for us to develop. i just wanted to report that out at this time. madam secretary. >> public comment on that. >> public comment on this commissioners' report? having seen none. public comment is closed. >> item 7, agenda for next and future fire commissioner meetings. >> commissioners, at this particular point, would you like to hear what we have on our

docket from the commission secretary? madam secretary, could you please refresh the commission in terms of subject matters that we've had on our list. >> i've confirmed with the united fire service women and they will present at the first february meeting. and then i believe there's an action item regarding the budget. that's all that is on the agenda at the moment. >> is that for the february 13t? >> correct. >> at this point, i would like to call for a report on the concept that came out today and the press release on the concept of building housing on top of a station. there was a reference in terms of station 13 in terms of housing being built on that particular station. it talked about relocation of station 13 if this concept develops. it also talks about the concept that if there's housing on top,

that we would have a brand new station in terms of 13. in terms of this particular commission, i would like to call, through you chief hayes-white, at the next commission meeting, a detailed report in terms of this concept of housing above station 13 so that the commission can be informed s, so the commission cn be informed, so the commission can ask questions, so the commission can give comments. and part of the report for supervisor peskin as part of the concepts of development. i would like to reach out and invite supervisor peskin, if he wishes to attend that meeting on the 13th, if he wants to dialogue as to how the development of the concept develop and gives this commission an opportunity for us to get information to comment, ask questions. so at this particular point, i would like to have that agenda for february the 13th for this

commission. thank you, very much, madam secretary. >> public comment on that idea. >> may i have public comment on the item 7 agenda for next and future fire commission meetings. public comment. seeing none, public comment is s closed. >> i take a motion in terms of adjournment, commissioners. >> so moved. >> may i have a second, please. >> second by commissioner hartmann. thank you, very much. good evening.

>> good morning, everyone. thank you for being here. we will get started, and i want to introduce the mayor of our city, maryland and breed. thank you. [applause] >> thank you, good morning, and welcome. i see our public defender is here. thank you for attending as well as our police chief and the command staff, the leadership of the san francisco police department. i'm excited to be here and i want to thank the police department for hosting this overview about the progress we've made in improving public safety throughout san francisco this past year, and what challenges that we face in the upcoming year. the progress would not have been possible without all of the hard

work done by the san francisco police department, as well as the street violence intervention program, and community members working together in neighborhoods to collaborate to make our community safer. to effectively address our most pressing issues, our police department and our community will continue to work together. they are working hard to implement some of the important effective community policing efforts. this includes one of my top priorities, which i know chief scott shares, and that is a beach patrol officer throughout our city, especially in the commercial corridors. when people see officers walking in their neighborhoods, they feel safer, and they develop a connection, a personal relationship with those officers yes the presence of these officers can't help stop crime alone, but it does build community trust.

our police district captains also help build trust by working with our community leaders to help address the issues in our neighborhoods for all residents, and as someone who served as an executive director for a nonprofit organization, i can tell you how important the relationship i had with so many of my captains in the northern station, and many of them actually serve on the command staff, amazing leaders for this department to continue to develop and retain those community relations. as we grow our community policing efforts, we need to continue to make sure that our police department has the resources and the services to protect and engage with our residents. this includes our ongoing plan to make sure that we hire another 250 police officers. we want to make sure that everyone is working together to keep our city safe, and that's what community policing is all about. taking office in july, i've been

working on a number of efforts to improve public safety. people would notice in the tenderloin, the south of market and the midmarket areas. there has been a noticeable presence of beat officers, the mobile control, the mobile van control, is that what it is called while the command post, located at u.n. plaza to support these areas. we are increasing the number of foot beat officers, as well as the number of drug arrests, and the chief will talk about those efforts. these are some of our most challenging areas, and we are committed to making sure that we address what we know are issues that people in the city continue to be frustrated with. i am continuing to make sure that i am on the front lines out there on a regular basis, reaching out to the chief, reaching out to some of our other city departments to ensure that they know that not only am i paying attention, but i am

listening and hearing from so many of the residents of the city who want to see us address this issue. i know chief scott will go over the 2,000 -- the 2018 numbers in detail, but i want to highlight some of the trends, because i think too often we focus on what is wrong with san francisco, what is wrong with what is happening with some of the crime that exists, but today we will talk about the achievements and what is right, and what we have been able to accomplish by working together. first we saw a significant drop in homicide, the lowest that it has been in four years, and we know that although one loss of life is one lost too many, that is an incredible accomplishment. this corresponds with a significant drop in gun violence for the second year in a row. every homicide is tragic, but we have to recognize the progress that we made. our police officers have successful -- have been successful at getting guns off

our streets, which is helping us to prevent gun violence, which also includes working closely with the street violence intervention program, and also assisting with gun buybacks in some of the arrests that they have made as well. if you are weapons and stronger community outreach is how we will continue to reduce violence in the city. we also so i focused by the department on attacking the epidemic of car burglaries. this year we saw a significant drop. though i know we still have work to do. in fact, even with good numbers over all, we know we have to work across the city because we still have challenges, and more importantly, we don't want one san franciscan to be a victim of crime. i know our police, our officers are working hard, i know chief scott is working hard to, and i know we will continue to make progress on these important issues. we want everyone in our city to feel safe in their communities. i want people to feel and see a

difference in san francisco. i want to thank chief scott again, on the leadership of the san francisco police department, as well as so many amazing community members like the street violence intervention program, as well as united players under rudy corbett. working together with all of these great programs and community members will continue to keep our city safe. thank you all so much for being here, and i will turn it over to chief scott. [applause] >> thank you, mayor. as the mayor said to, we are really pleased with the trends we are seeing, particularly in violent crime. as most of you know, our department publishes a report monthly that provides a snapshot of where we are with crime. as you can see on the posters to my right, we are doing pretty good, and we did pretty good in 2018. homicides are down 18%.

homicide by firearms were down 37%. nonfatal shooting incidents were down 30%, and navigated -- aggravated assault dropped 3%. thanks to the hard work of the men and women of the san francisco police department that work hours streets, our investigated unit, and all of our bureaus, through the hard work that they've put in, at great risk to their own personal safety to protect the people of this city, we are -- we would not be where we are today. i want to thank the leadership of the san francisco police department, many of which you are standing to my left ear on the wall, because this is a total team effort to. thank you for what you do. we believe that these are good numbers, but we have a lot of work to do. we had to waddle homicides at the end of the year and we started the year off with three homicides already this year. four actually. and we know that i sit here and i talk in numbers but these are lives that we are talking about, and these are families, and we

want to do our best to stay in front of this and prevent these crimes from occurring, rather than judge whether it -- rather than react to them. a large part of our strategy will be preventive, rather than reactive policing. it is our goal to prevent crime before it happens. in doing so, we want to work with the community members and the faith leaders, it as the mayor mentioned, the intervention workers, and all the people that make the city a great city to continue to build confidence in public safety, and continue to keep crime down. we know this works in our city, and we know it because we have seen it. we have seen how it works. the mayor mentioned foot patrols and i want to thank her for fighting for the budget to increase staffing of the police department, and for making foot patrols a priority, because we know that type of policing for this city is the right thing to do. we stepped it up in 2018, and we continue to do that, and will

continue to do that through 2019 we want to be more visible. we want to get more officers on the streets, and strengthen the bonds with the community so we can communicate better with san franciscans to make our city the safest city in the country. this has increased our ability to do our jobs, and it is evident, in the work that was mentioned by the mayor and u.n. plaza, we put a command post vehicle out there, but more importantly, the staffing was increased. the interaction with the community was increased, and we saw things change. i can't tell you how many people have come up to me, and the leadership of this department to tell us how big of a difference that that it has made in civic centre plaza area. we will continue to work hard to make sure that we sustain those efforts. we look forward this year, thanks to the budget that the mayor put forth, 25 academy,

classes, which will need -- meet the need of our growing city. and also, it will help us continue our role to prevent crime instead of reacting to it. we also want to focus on education, specifically reaching out to the public to make our city more resilient, to make it hard for people to victimize people that come in our city, or live in our city, particularly when it comes to property crime. we stepped up our campaign this year, and we think that helped address car break-ins. we were down significantly from the previous year, and the park smart campaign, and just prevention and awareness, we believe helped drive those numbers down. we also have enforcement. we note that is part of law enforcement and part of policing , particularly in the communities that have been targeted by predators. the mayor mentioned the tenderloin. we are working very hard to arrest the dealer that are dealing in school zones, where children are going to school and trying to get an education. we are working very hard to

interrupt some of the street behaviors that we see that is associated with substance abuse. we want to intervene and get people help. people that wanted or needed, we want to get them help. we are doing this from all levels. and we will continue to do that. we want to get the guns off the streets, the methamphetamine, the heroin, the fentanyl, and all the poisons that are help hurting our city. we will do that in conjunction with the community that we serve a key component of our strategic plan, which drives how we address crime in our city is collaboration. with other city agencies, with community partners, and working forward -- looking forward to 2019, will collaborate with other city agencies, other federal agencies, and we will address the problems that we face in the city in a collaborative model. that is one of our strategic initiatives, and that is something we are really focused on continuing to do. we know that that works as well.

a good example of that is the law enforcement diversion. i see mr dodge either. it is our goal to help address substance abuse, not necessarily through arrest, but giving people an option to go to treatment through diversion before the case gets into the criminal justice system. we have 236 successful referrals to leeds this past year and we will continue to work that model , and it is really a good partnership and a collaborative model that is good for our city. will help improve public safety, reduce criminal behavior, and provide health and housing resources for those in the most needs. when you look at the report, you can see we also have a few challenges. burglaries were up for the year for 2018, and going into 2019, that will be a priority to make sure we turn that around. we put a structure in place

thanks to the people on the wall thank you to the deputy chief his, the commander, we have put a structure in place to better address those type of crimes. our investigation bureau has burglary detail thanks to the mayor's leadership and the staffing, we hope to be able to increase that staffing to address the needs, but we know it is a challenge moving into 2019. we do not want to take a step backwards. we have done a good job this year but there's a lot more work to be done and we will work as hard as we can to continue to make our city a safe city. being here, and thank you for all of your support to, because getting this information out to the public is one of the keys to being unaware safety, and a resilient city. thank you. [applause] >> we will take a couple quick questions, and then we will do interviews afterwards.

[indiscernible] >> there is a jump and we are looking at that very hard to. we believe two things. there are things that happened over the past year, we increase the training to our patrol officers, there was a lot more awareness, and we wage that cost and some of the increase. we actually are looking at the impacts of the closure of a red brook, which was one of the sites that facilitated a lot of the activity, the prostitution activity. that close down. we drove more activity onto the streets. those are factors we are looking at, and also how we report. we believe the increased training expanded the amount of cases that were actually recognized as human trafficking, and we wanted to make sure that

we captured these crimes. it is a very serious issue in our city, and in our country. we are digging more into that to have a clear understanding of where those numbers are coming from, but we believe those are some of the factors at this point. >> your staff focused on individual crimes, but are there any specific neighborhoods looking forward that you are trying to focus on why i know the tenderloin is really active on social media with things going on in their neighborhood, are there any neighborhoods that you are trying to focus on moving forward clasping act tenderloin is a focus. they have done a great job. if you follow their twitter site , posting some of the enforcement efforts. there's a lot of challenges in the tenderloin community, and we made that a priority. we made it a quite priority. we increased our foot beat staffing. the tenderloin, we did good and a lot of crime -- prime categories, but there are a lot

of challenges they are, and a lot of them center around drug sales. we have dealers on the streets, and people come to and from what they do, work or leisure, and they have to see that. as i mentioned earlier, there are a lot of schools in the tenderloin. they have the highest concentration of families and kids in the city. we can't tolerate that. that is a focus. we have property crime challenges and fishermen's worth , it is a high tourist area a lot of property that people leave in their cars, and that is where the awareness and the prevention campaigns come in. we have violent crime in some of our communities, not just the baby with the gun violence. we have confiscated a lot of guns off of the streets this year and the gun seizures are up we know that this city is composed of a lot of individual communities, and each have a distinct character. every communities different. we have to address all of the needs. of the ones that i mentioned are

a priority in terms of folks in the area. that is the hub of our city. we want to make sure that we do the best job we can to make sure it is clean, it is safe, and people can enjoy the beauty of our city. >> your police unit was there, and the community was there. if you can't get a substation, we really would like that, is that in the works class you mentioned the tenderloin. >> we can move them around as we see a need to do that. we don't have an unlimited supply of mobile units, really, for that particular thing, the most important thing is that officers are out patrolling the area. that crime happened early in the morning. officers needed to be out there. and that is a form of deterrence if there is a need for a mobile

command post, we meet regularly, the deputy deputy chiefs and the assistant chiefs and i am the commander talk about strategies of what will work. it is not off the table. right now that mobile command's still in civic centre plaza, because there is still a need their, and the main thing is we need to catch the person that committed that crime and get them off the streets. that is the main thing because we believe this is a one off, but people don't just wake up and beat 89-year-old women, that is not something that people do. that person needs to be removed from the streets and the criminal justice system needs to take over from there. we have not taken that off the table, but at this point, there is no command post there. >> we will take one more and then we will wrap up. you said before that you'd you doubled posts around the city. what do the numbers look like

right now for officers who are out on the street while. >> there's about 150 officers working foot beats. that is give or take a few. about 150 officers working the beat. some of you may have read the report by the california policy lab that actually did a nice piece of research and show the positive impacts of foot beats. we were really pleased with that if you haven't read it, i would encourage you to read it because all the numbers are there in terms of the increase in the past year, ended paints a good picture of why this is so important. if you have not read it, i would encourage you to read it. it really speaks well, and you will hear me stay over and over again, the importance of foot patrol officers and foot beats. >> thank you all very much.
