>> good evening. i'm going to give an update on both evoc and property. i'll give a brief update on both locations. i are talk about some of the challenges that we see going forward and some of the next steps to anticipate. we'll start off with evoc. evoc is our emergency vehicle operations course. the current location is pier 96 in the city. you'll see a google map of that location. it's a large location, approximately 13 acres. we need this size of a location due to the nature of the training that required to give our officers required by post

and collision avoid expanse avoh speed maneuver. at this location we train our recruit class. every class goes through a two-week course. we have inservice training at this location. current status is the port, we lease this facility from the port on a month to month month lease. we will have to vacate the pier 96 location by june 30, 2019. the department of real estate has been searching for new locations for us to house evoc. they have located a site and they are currently under negotiations for that site to obtain a long-term lease where

we'll have a new home for evoc. some of the challenges that we're going to see and facing with this new project, any new project that we have any new site is we're going to rare some infrastructure. in order to have evoc course, we have to have flat, level pavement so any site would have to be graded and paved to an extent that we can run cars on that operation. we would have to have safety barriers installed. we would have to have a temporary classroom and obviously water and bathroom facilities as well. those are all issues that we're looking at with the new site that real estate is currently negotiating. plans are being developed in order to make that site useable

and that we can run classes both for our academy and inservice. other challenge we're seeing is our next evoc class that we're going to have run interest will be in july of 2019. that puts us on kind of short time frame in order to not only secure the site but get the needed infrastructure improvements together in order to have that class be able to operate on the pod in july. right now, we're looking at possibly an extension for few months. the pier 96 spot. we wouldn't have another evoc class until september. that would give us several months in order to get the needed infrastructure improvements made at the new location that real estate is

currently negotiating. i can pause for questions regarding evoc or if you want i can move into property and take all questions at the end. >> commissioner hirsch: you mentioned temporary facility for the classroom, i get for july, is there a plan for permanent clams? >> i say temporary facility because anything that -- it wouldn't be a full built structure. most likely we'll go with the modular structures. those are modern structures. it's similar to the one that we have at the range for our new firearms simulator. it's not permanently built structure. >> vice president mazzucco: insm lease, it will be more efficient to work deal with sonoma race. they have all these facilities are other people train. >> we did look into couple of different options.

we looked at originally look at other academy locations. looking at other airs that have large areas of open land. we found some challenges, mostly with being able to fit us on those sites and we found that by doing the lease with an option to buy which is in this current negotiation, that would probably afford us the best. it's the long-term lease, it would afford us the best scenario. actually be able to get us evoc pad that works for our needs as well as modular classroom that would suffice for us. >> vice president mazzucco: to lease with option to buy, it's basically four week or six week

a year of use. >> we did not check with sonoma raceway as far as i can recall. this would allow us to have more of a permanent site and long-term lease with an option to buy. >> commissioner mazzucco: thank you. >> commissioner brookter: , out of curiosity, how long existing ports was.

>> we've been on month to month lease with the port. they did find a tenant paying substantial amount more. that put us in the situation to rent. >> you have any cost figures for us on this proposal? we don't have a good idea. >> i don't at this time because it's still under negotiations at the current location that real estate has found. once we have that negotiation piece settled, we can look at the infrastructure cost and what's that's going to cost in the short-term. quite bit infrastructure cost will be over the cost of the

lease. >> commissioner hirsch: any other questions? thank you. >> i'll move on to property. currently we have a current system of property house at two locations. we have long-term and short-term evidence. our current status is as been disgustedisgust -- discussed bee have to leave hall of justice by 2020. right now the date little bit fluid as department of real estate trying to find locations for everybody in the hall of justice. not just us and the d.a.'s office and probation. that affects our movement property where we have short-term evidence in the basement of the hall.

much like evoc, department of real estate is currentlily in negotiations to move to -- find us a new property. they found us a location. they are negotiating in the lease with that location. that location would actually give us the possibility of housing both long-term and short-term evidence in one building which we haven't had it luxury in quite some time. that would definitely be beneficial in terms of our operations. if this lease does come to fruition, it will allow us to do that. some our challenges much like evoc that we're seeing is going to be costs of upgrading any facilities to house evidence. we feel that the current location that real estate is

negotiating would not require extensive upgrades. this property would not require very much upgrades in terms of security for property. there would be some costs in terms of building out office spaces and then certainly for the move which ties into the logistics, we would have to plan for the cost to pay for the move for both long-term and short-term. we wanted to do that. obviously it's got to be in very measured and mindful way because you're dealing with evidence. we want to be methodical how we move that evidence to the new location. the next steps that we're looking at are to work with department of real estate on securing these two leases.

once we have those leases secured, we can start getting better cost estimates. the infrastructure for evoc and the cost for the move of property. then it's a matter of actually planning out the move for the evidence and deciding we'll move long-term and short-term evidence first and how that's going to look in terms of logistics of moving it. questions? >> we're talking temporarily. we had a presentation moving i think some of this stuff -- let me get back for a moment. the property ram, talking about merging them to a new place. >> property would not go into

the new forensics services. that's a lab and traffic company facility. the evidence would be housed in this new location. much like evoc it will be long-term lease with an option to buy. >> they are currently negotiating a lease. this could happen really soon. you have decide who moves first and fixing the infrastructure? >> yes, what would happen, they would negotiate th the lease thn we have to look at what we need to bring both facilities together. then we would come up with help of public works, come up with plan and cost and infrastructure wise to bring that up to our needs. mostly in terms of office space and then security cameras,

alarms, those type of things. once we got that plan preview -- approved, the construction would take place. >> your projected time frame that you see so we can move that property room? >> it's a bit difficult to tell now because we don't have the actual test bit to tell us what needs to be changed and built. i can tell you that the negotiation is pretty far along in terms of securing that. that piece should be relatively quickly. i quickly i would estimate if the next couple of months. then probably have a better idea once we have the test fit and what that construction is going to entail. it's a matter of actually moving over. the move of property, physical move, likely to take several

months to do that. >> thank you. >> commissioner hirsch: thank you deputy chief. anything else from the chief's report? commissioners, the next presentation is the 4th quarter 2018 audit electronic communication devices which will be presented by commander peter walsh. >> good evening commissioners. president hirsch, director henderson. peter walsh from chief of staff office. i'm going to do the 4th quarter 2018 base audit from the electronic devices. the audits are limited to devices that the department owns and operates and not members personal devices. the audits do capture private

devices coming in the department devices. if somebody sends something from their private device to department computer, we'll pick that up. all members aware of the departmental electronic communication devices are audited and they don't have expectation of privacy with those devices. they are guided by d.g.o. 10.08. which will be reissued shortly. there's an internal affairs bureau order which guides the investigators how they are to watch the three systems. i'll explain how each one devices is monitored and how they work. first clets, a program was established which searches all entries made in the system. we use an established word list.

it's passive, it runs continuously. if there's a hit on any given day, it sends an alert to the i.a. team and they get to review it. each hit is printed, scanned and saved to a file. regardless if it's a legitimate hit or we get lot of false positive hits, they're all saved. the audit process has been running specifically for these devices since december 2016. our 4th quarter results for the clets level two was 82 hits returned on the program after the review. none of the 82 hits were determined to be biased oriented. moving on to the email. this again, captures anything

internally or externally. it's not just our email. that's mostly where most of the hits come from. crime reporting, things like that, words pop up and graffiti. we'll pick it up as a hit. it's not our hit but the system is picking it up. those emails are saved and maintained on a server, staff analyzes every hit. those are immediately investigated. for the 4th quarter, there were 167 hits returned from the program. after review by members, none of the 167 hits were determined biased oriented. that word on 5600 emails

completely not base relate -- bias related. we're constantly adjusting those words as more false positives come up and we're not seeing anything related, we move them off to the side. lastly, the text messaging, we don't necessarily control this one. this is controlleddedlled throu. we run audit every 30 days. additional terms can be used as well. search parameters allow staff to search department systems for historical text if necessary. any hit that comes up, gets analyzed. if it is again, bias is immediately investigated. for october 1st to december 31, 2018 there were 34 hits returned from the program. after the review none of the

hits were determined to be member generatorred bias tips. that is my report. >> commissioner hirsch: a guess in this process is people who analyze and decide whether it's related to bias or not. that seems to be a linchpin. can you refresh our memories or explain to us how that process works. how do those people make that determination? >> there's a list of numerous words which anybody if they saw them, would say, these are clearly words that should not be on any department's emails, texts, etcetera. then you get into the words where they could be used such as the one we took off. they are reading the context. other ones it's simple. it's boom, it's there. then what you really looking for is where did it come from.

as i have explained before, those words finding it's coming to report graffiti. those are easy. going back to the words that are -- it takes the investigator to read and look at that. what is the conversation going on here. it gets harder. i think that we are one and only hit was contextual. i believe you're aware of that. it's basically having to go through and read these texts and these messages when they do pop up, when they're not a clear example. >> commissioner hamasaki: good evening. one of the last things you noted was there were a number of hits

but they were not department-member generated. if somebody is receiving communications that would be a bias related background, you're still going to conduct an investigation to determine whether or not the member is engaging or supportive of these views. is that accurate? >> it depends. i have to say, initial investigation is the pop up. if you can clearly establish that a victim is reporting some type of epithet or slur, we are not open an investigation to see if that person -- there hasn't been a case where there's been a friendly banter. if that's what you're relating to. most of these hits are from a public coming in, crime reports actually being in statements coming in. we do on the clets, it's an

older system managed by the state. their string search actually has words -- the word may may have something that seems to be racial or bias in it. if you can picture -- i used word sticker, if stick was our bias worde word on our list, soy uses sticker and that word has no bearing on bias, the computer hits on stick. we have numerous hits like that. not every hit is even just the word, it would find if walsh was a bad word, it happen to be my name. >> commissioner hamasaki: only point i was trik trying to get ,

just because somebody else says it, it doesn't mean that's the end of the investigation. >> right. it is completely looked at. for text messages, we can go back further to look at that. we can see a whole string. we're not looking at that one sentence and came in, we're done. it's little more thorough. it is based on established word list and tracking those down. >> commissioner hamasaki: , this started out of some various text messaging scandals that occurred. >> this came from the d.o.j. the text scandal was grand jury or search warrant on personal devices. because of that, though, the d.o.j. recommended because we do give our officers phones and access. you need it monitor that.

>> commissioner hamasaki: concee previous cases. i don't know the answer, are department members prohibited from using their own phones while they're on the job? >> they're not prohibited. we do have a bulletin, may of 2017. it talks about public records and using your phone. for instance, i have two phones, my department phone, i drop it and it breaks. i need to direct officers somewhere. instead of me calling, i can pick up my personal phonal. the question then becomes, is that a public record and the bulletin is out there. the officers are aware if we email or text using our personal, these are potentially and can be public record. there's not a prohibition on it. you need to be aware just like if anybody was using their phone, commission business, you

can potentially turn over your emails. >> commissioner hamasaki: it wasn't actual department issued phones that the group was using. >> no. >> commissioner hamasaki: outs id e of this, it's a series media events that tarnished department arising out of that. the community realized we got white supremacists in the department. what is being done to ensure that those things don't come up? >> i don't want to go as far to say, white --

>> commissioner hamasaki: did you read the text? >> i did. you're saying -- something who dealt with terrorism, it seems to be more an operational group moving forward. i believe that everything they did was horrific. what i do is, we look at the conversation that are going on when they come here. on the outside, some of the things a were implemented the chief was not on my watch. you have to report these things. there is a group of officers if that have come forward in different cases. that's what we ask. if you see or hear something that falls on this line of communication of talking referring to community groups, you need to bring it forward. that's what we do. we encourage our officers to be

of the highest integrity. they have to bring it to our attention. >> commissioner hamasaki: i guess there wouldn't be -- you would need a warrant to get into somebody's personal cell phone regardless. >> yes, generally. if there was some reason where somebody texts something if their personal cell to an officer, we'll pick it up. that's possible. >> commissioner taylor: i think you were talking about the folks who were tasked reviewing the data. who are the they is? who are the people looking at this data and making those calls? >> internal affairs. >> commissioner taylor: are they trained? they are trained on bias?

>> they've all gone through the bias training to numerous ways. there's also the order which guides them to push these things up. it's not -- you don't want to make like it's their call. i'm over that entire office. it would go to their o.i.c and then to me. the standard is, there's a question, you obviously go to the next person up. everything will be an immediate investigation. if it's there, it welcomes a high priority investigation. >> commissioner hirsch: thank you commander. anything else on the chief's report? >> the final report is going to be presented by deputy chief michael conoley. he will be reporting on the 2018 homicide clearances. >> good evening president

hirsch, vice president taylor. my name is mike conley. i was asked to report out 2018 homicide clearance rates because they are exceptionally high this year. we cleared 100% case in 2018. before i get into the numbers i have to give some deafs ins in - definitions for clarifications. we're talking about definitions by the federal bureau of investigations uniform crime reporting standards. [please stand by]

from resting, charging, prosecuting offender, death of offender by means of suicide by other means. that offender may have been taken by law enforcement. the national average in 2017 for murder for united states is 61.6%. that is the last reported ucr report. it comes out annually. the 2018 statistics will be out in july of 2019. san francisco police department reported a 100% clearance rate

in 2018. 48 homicides. 35 homicides were cleared by arrest in 2018. in the 35 arrests, six of those were from previous years. in the ucr guidelines, you cannot go back to rechange the percentage you have to carry it over. the best example if a homicide occurs on december 31st, you make an arrest on january 1 of the next year that arrest is cleared in the next year. that is a guideline we cannot contest with. as i said 46 homicides, 35 were cleared in 2518, 29 arrests, 29 of the homicides were 65 percent were cleared in 2018. there was an additional 11 cases of the 46 where 23% were cleared by exceptional means in 2018. additionally, with the six previous year homicides, that is

an additional 12% if you combine the percents it equals 100%. that is exceptional lehigh clearance rate. there is a combination of fact fors that got us there. in previous years we had seen lower cases. 2016 it was 71%. that is higher. in 2017 it was 61%. now we are up to 100%. as the chief mentioned we are at 100%. 33 percent reductions from this time year-to-date last year. i will entertain questions. >> to make sure i understand. of the 46 homicides that occurred in 2018, they weren't all resolved, but you had several related arrests. when you agate the numbers to

take you to 10%? >> 29 arrests with six arrests for previous year homicides. >> commissioner hamasaki: cleare departments arrest of the individual. it doesn't take into account decisions made by the prosecuting agency, right? if the da declines to prosecute because of different standards that doesn't factor into it, is that accurate. that's correct that doesn't factor to the reporting of the d.o.j. >> thank you, chief. anything else? >> thank you. next agenda item. >> item 1bdpa director's report on activities. it will be limited to brief

description of the announcements. discussion will be limited to determining whether to calder the issues raised for a future commission meeting. the november and december 2019 and january statistical reports. >> good evening. i have the facts for this week's meeting. we are at 69 open cases this year versus this time last year 57 cases in terms of cases closed. i keep track of the closures to keep track of the time to report back. 68 this year versus 51 last year. cases pending open i have 282 pending versus 248 last year. sustained rate this year 10 so

far this year versus one at this point last year. cases that i have opened of 282 still open and pending, past 270 day point are at 27. this time last year we were at 39. the final status for our cases are mediated. we have had three cases mediated this year versus one last year. for the past few weeks we had a number of activities. last week we participated in the dpa was selected to participate in the civic privilege presentation and our project which was jointly tied to the local slam organization presented for the city presentation. that was last week with th the mayor who spoke talking about increasing the technology

capabilities for the work we are doing. highest priority is to replace the case management system and enable the organization to make data driven decisions about the information we collect and disseminate in ongoing operations. we issued the r.f.q. for the new case management system. we had nine different companies apply to do that work, the ongoing work with us. this is tied to the work that we have already started with preparing and launching a new website which we desperately need an agency as well. i will say in the mediation we hosted a training session for all of our mediators. as the commission is aware, we went through reevaluating all of the mediators that were

registered and affiliated with the organization and are providing ongoing training to make sure that our mediators we are using are neutral and partial and properly trained in terms of our process and objectives with the mediation. that training was last week. we also did a couple outreach events february 9th we did resource tables for the summer resource fair. we are participating with the city's goal to bring in and hire and inform our youth so we have some in our office this year as well. on february 12 we participated in this park and rec. no, park station with the sfpd and northern station sfpd committee meetings. i went last week with some of my

staff to the law schools. with the presentation on race and justice we did a networking event to collect resumes and interview students for our summer programs to bring students back here to work for the summer. that is the update on the stuff we have been doing in the organization. i have a couple of reports. do i have to go after each one? great. if you have questions to ask. quickly, i am trying to move it through. you have the notes in front of you. i am not going to read line by line. i will tell you the highlights from each of the months. first one is from november. i would point out that the case total was 66% higher than november 2017.

again, i think this is a reflection of the work that has been done recently with the organization both in the outreach work we have been doing and with the technology work we have been doing with slalom and our own internal hardware to make things accessible to the broader public. i will say if you look back into those pages and see the number of complaints coming in, how many. there is a significant segment that come in online for the technology stuff is really important. that is what we want to continue focusing on it. i have included a breakdown as well of the specific complaints that have come in. that is for all of the months. in the past we had questions as to what they have been. i am including them as standard as with the monthly reports. for the month of december, the most significant things are the

case total 53% higher than they were the year before. you can see that was the summation of year in december when we had 660 for 2018 total which is 31% increase over the year. for january the third report, case total is 26% higher than we were in january of 2018. i would just point out the take away is that we have increased spikes and investigations from the office and complaints being brought to the dpa as measured from the reports. that is it. >> thank you. commissioner. >> commissioner hamasaki: as general dpa duties, is the dpa

responds to sp1421 requests? i know that i have been seeing a lot of things online about different departments and so forth. >> it is a huge part of our day-to-day activities right now. >> commissioner hamasaki: before you finish do you have the resources right now to do so. finish with that. >> yes, i have allocated resources. i have resources working on 1421. no, i don't have enough resources to continue at this pays for not just these requests for the requests we anticipate will be ongoing from now on out. i don't know if that answers the questions. the department has resources allocated as well. we have about the same numbers working on the same things. each department is handling it

individually, but some of the departments have more requests than others. we are one of those departments. >> is it a timeline or letting people know? >> we have been responsive to all of the requests that have come in so far, and we are trying to prioritize the requests that have come on based on what is available to us in terms what we can pull and disseminate before analyzing each of the individual reports in terms of what everybody is going to get. they are all separate. some of the requests have come in didding everything. we are still using that same prioritization. the officer-involved shootings. >> commissioner hamasaki: some of this is actual you have to dig into boxes? >> that is 100% correct. as far back as 1982.

>> commissioner hamasaki: best of luck. >> keep in mind the digital process was the last department in the city to get to the technology status. we are still trying to define and clarify. we have more than a little information that was not captured in digital documents. we have more hand searching than other departments have, unfortunately. >> to follow up are you working with the city attorney's office for a policy to be in place for responses? >> we have been talking regularly how we are interpreting 1421, what we believe our obligation is. we believe our obligation is different from other departments. it is a case-by-case analysis. there are two levels what we are

doing at one level and how the city is approaching it at another level. we want to be as consistent as possible so we are not releasing or preparing documents differently from other agencies. in some cases, i think that is likely. >> >> commissioner taylor: i know my fellow commissioners have been working on 1421. i asked a couple meetings ago for an update. whenever that is ready that would be helpful for the commission to hear and understand if there are issues with coordination, what those issues are in all of the stakeholders and players, that would be helpful for us. i would love to prepare that and present it to you. >> we have been meeting with the dpa, city attorneys, police department, and almost every top member of the city attorney's office is in the room trying to

find the way through this. we are working on it. it is a work in process. there is great advice from the city attorney. we are all in the room together working on there. the main goal is consistency through the agencies. >> the police department is releasing documents at this point. they released pursuant to 1421. now it is coordination to see if we obtain a uniform policy so dpa and the police department can have. >> and the police commission. >> thank you. next item on the agenda. >> this is item 1c commission reports. they will be limited to brief description of activities and announcement. cushiocommission president repo.

>> at the last meeting when i became president i did say in an effort for greater transparency on behalf of the commission i would ask in march each commissioner give a brief report on whatever he or she is doing so the public knows what we are doing. now there are many folks that don't know what we do on a weekly basis. i will revisit that. the second meeting in march i will ask for a two or three minute report by each commissioner at that time and we will firm that up. in the last week i have asked commissioner hamasaki to be involved with the working group on staffing, and i think right now the matrix group with mr. brady is working with the department to analyze staffing. i think the president of the

board of supervisors spearheaded this to make sure there is funding. it is moving forward. i asked commissioner brookter to be the commission and work with the dpa and report back and let us know your view how things are going. finally, on saturday i did attend a celebration of black history month put on by the police department and the mayor's office. it was first annual. i thought it was terrific. i assume there will be a second one. it is not just for african-americans. it is a critical part of american history. i think it is important for all of san francisco to participate. it was a terrific display of history and culture. i appreciate the department taking the lead in that. derek brown who i think was the brainchild.

i thank you for that. yes, commissioner ham sa. >> commissioner hamasaki: this will be a presentation next meeting from matrix consulting with the staffing study. they are trying to -- the department is living off this mystery number of 1971 for a number of years, and i think there is a pretty universal feeling that is not well supported by best practices as far as i learned a lot in meeting with them, staffing, proactive time, reactive time, you know, i think it will benefit the department. i look forward t to forward to m them next week. commissioners and i met with interviews to fill the long

vacant -- might i say this? i'm sorry. it is a long day, a long week. you know, what i want to say to that pointer is, you know i got a lot of feedback after the last meeting about some of the discussions here, and you know i want the public to know, i want the department to know and everybody to know this commission i thought of it in the analogy is kind of a sports analogy for football playing friends here. we get on the field and my litigators, we have the fights we need to have, they go the way they go, and we move on. the work is not stopping because we had a disagreement. all of us are active and engaged in the last week, and you know

speaking for myself i have a lot of respect and admiration for all of my commissioners. i felt like we were siblings last week and sometimes you have got to fight it out. i look forward to working together with everybody, and i think we are well situated and prepared to continue to serve the department, the city and the people. thank you. >> thank you, commissioner. >> on thursday i met with the lep working group at mission station. there was a great turnout of many groups that work there, and miss marion, put it together with an agenda. there are some things to report

on that. one of the key things of the projects they are working on is trying to expand the number of department of human resources to certified languages to include growing populations. the officers need certifications to use them at work. first one is toysen, hindu and air back. we have officers -- arabic. we are trying to get dhr to certify. they want to rule out the language line on all patrol officers phones so they can video conference with american sign language interpreters. that needed added. it is not added assert fiction. they want to expand the human resources certification to include bilingual translation.

we have interpreters. if the person writes out a statement in their own language our officers have to translate that document before they write their reports. there is no certification for translating documents. we need dhr to provide certification and interpretation only and translation of witness victim statements at the scene. that is something they are working on. that is important. before they decide who to charge, they need to understand what the victim or witnesses are saying in their own language if they write it out. they want to improve services at the stations to provide more information about the availability of bilingual officer police service aids. someone brought in a picture of roll it in electronic messages machine hooked to a computer. you can program in and then

people can read it. then last one is deaf and hard-of-hearing. this is concerns from domestic violence survivor. they had a terrific relationship with the department to move this forward. those are some of the things they are working on. if they have those boards they would also make information more available for the bilingual officers and police service aids at the station house. >> thank you, vice president taylor. >> commissioner taylor: it was an exciting week. we had the job of trying to replace the irreplaceable. we are still working on that. i want to just note a couple things. black history month celebration that sfpd put on was fantastic. it was really moving. i was shocked it was the first.

it should not be the last. it was very powerful. i was happy and proud to attend the class graduation for the 251st academy class from sfpd. i was struck by the class representative elected to speak gave the most amazing speech. i think really, really recognizing it and holding themselves accountable and to high standard, it made me proud to be on the commission and hopeful for the future of sfpd. these new graduates were really impressive. they took the burden that every officer carries very seriously and took it upon themselves in a way that made everyone proud.

i have been working on the stack force. i have reached out to the chief about the staffing needs of the police department and the recommendation and pursuant to the legislation that he passed and his desire to see that through. >> i want to say thank you for stepping in and taking your leadership. i am looking forward to working with director henderson to meet bi-weekly on wednesdays. working closely. i want to report.

>> was the mayor rather young for lifetime achievement. >> she stated that she was younger than the general manager kelly and was receiving the award but it was all in good fun. the general manager they want to make sure they can keep that going. >> thank you. next item on the agenda. >> item 1d commission announcements and scheduling of items for consideration at future commission meetings action. >> any items? moving on then. >> can i just announce for the members of the public next commission meeting on february 20, 2019 at city hall in room 400 at 5:30 p.m. >> okay. are we now taking an item out of order? >> yes my apologies.
