>> can you please rise for the pledge of allegiance. i pledge of allegiance, to the t es of america and to the republic for which stands, one nation under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> good afternoon, good evening everybody. this is the february 13, 2019 session of the san francisco police commission. we are ready to start with the first agenda item. ly say, we have a medium size agenda today. i'll limit comments from the public to three minutes. we don't make that up. that comes from the san francisco administrative code

which sets comments like this at three minutes or less depending on the length of the agenda. with that, we're ready to go. >> commissioner i like to call roll. [roll call] with us the assistant chief of police hector sinas in for chief scott. this is item one reports to the commission discussion, 1a, chief report. weekly crime trend of offenses

occurring in san francisco, significant incidents the chief will report will be limited to a brief description of significant incidents, commission's discussion will be limited to determining whether to counter any of the incidents the chief describes for future meetings. major events, provide summary of plans occurring since the previous meetings. it will include brief overview occurring in san francisco having an impact on public safety. commission discussion on unplanned events and activities the chief describe will be limited to determining whether to calendar for future meetings. facilities update, status of move of evoc, traffic company and service division. presentation of the 4th quarter 2018 audit communication devices and report on 2018 homicide clearances. >> commissioner hirsch: thank you, good evening chief.

>> good evening. assistant chief here for chief scott who is in washington d.c. attending the chief conversation. i will begin the report are the weekly crime trend. crime was down 24% this year compared this time last year. crime include violent crimes such as homicides, sexual assaults, aggravated assault, robbery and human trafficking. overall, we've had four homicides in 2019. this is a 33% decrease over 2018. we have not had a homicide since january 12th. which is a good trend. total property crimes are down 24%. property crimes include burglary, motor vehicle them and larcenies. significant incidents, we a vehicle collision resulted in a

fatality on saturday february 9th on the 2000 block of basher boulevard. a female was traveling on the boulevard for unknown reasons, veered off the road and headed into a traffic pole. witnesses saw the victim driving the vehicle. witnesses attempted render aid, paramedic transported her to sfgh where she was pronounced deceased. no other parties were involved in this incident. there was another vehicle collision with a pedestrian hit-and-run. this occurred in the richmond district. the victim was walking in the crosswalk crossing with the green light. the suspect vehicle driven by an 84-year-old driver was making a left turn, westbound from

cabrillo on to park and struck the victim. witnesses stopped for a brief moment and fled southbound. a witness followed the vehicle on to park. the suspect vehicle became blocked in traffic. witnesses were able to point the vehicle out to police. the police arrived, they took the suspect in custody and booked him for hit-and-run and other traffic related violations. major event. we have one major event that's the ibm convention. they are expecting 25,000 attendees at this event. that concludes my portion of the chief's report. the next presentation will be given by deputy chief moser on our facilities update which includes moves of evoc which is our emergency vehicle operations course which is a function of the academy. the property division, traffic

company and the forensic services division. >> good evening chief. president hirsch, vice president taylor, commissioners, and director henderson. good evening. deputy chief bob moser i'm from the administration bureau. i'm here to give you updates on few our facilities. we're going to start off with the traffic company, forensic services division update and tonight i'm joined with our partners from public works who are going to give us a short presentation on that facility and we can entertain questions and we can move into property and evoc.

>> good evening. my name is michael rosetteo. i'm public works traffic manager facilities project. this project is the largest project within the 2014 bond fund with a budget of $165 million.

this slide is showing the voter obligation which is primarily the consolidation of different aspects of forensics and traffic company from the hall of justice and the crime lab currently located at hunter's point into a if you facility where you can see the blue 199 1995 evans avee on the corner evans avenue and toeland street in the bay view district. this slide here, the upper right, shows the site approximately nine months ago. the red indication around the property that was purchased by the city in 2015. the location of the bakery. the building including three small buildings on the lot have

been demolished. the two photographs on the lower portion to the right show the site this week completely cleared and the installation of a new construction security barrier a will surround the site. the new design, it's a three-story building. the lower left portion, which is a yellow bar that you see slading -- sliding out one-story traffic company motorcycle parking garage. on the right the yellow portion is primarily for c.s.i. the ground floor is concrete block to provide secure perimeter at the street level. the upper two stories are for forensics and the blue indicates two stories of office space and the green indicates two stories

of laboratory space. the orange portion is shared amenities throughout the building including a break room, workout facility and conference room. the back to the right is an evidence vehicle storage area which is a wall on one side and chain link fence enclosed area, roof for c.s.i. to store vehicles. i'll get into the floor plans little bit more detail. this right here is a site plan. you can see evans avenue at the bottom and tolland on the right. evans comes down from cesar

chavez it comes down this intersection and another street that goes off to the bottom left there. there's a large entry plaza that greets the corner and to the left you can see the traffic company one-story parking garage, that portion of the structure and the evidence vehicle storage area towards the top of the screen, both vegetative roof over them. there's an l-shaped parking lot for primarily police vehicle. real estate has a few parking spots as well. there's an exterior pad area for emergency generator. then the large white reck tang is the three-story mass of the building. this is a view coming down evans towards the large intersection.

the glassy area at the corner is the two stories of amenity space, fitness room and break room and conference room on the third story. this is a bit of idealized photograph. we have been working with pg&e in an effort to relocate some of those electrical wires that maybe in conflict with construction. that is an ongoing exercise. this is view of the main entry, public entry of the building. it is not a facility that will be open to the public. visiting attorneys and so forth who need to review evidence

would be admitted to the building. it's not a freely open facility. level one plans towards the centre is traffic company to the right you can see exam base, that entire right portion of the ground floor is c.s.i. large yellow bar is the traffic company parking garage. level two and level three layouts are similar. yellow on the bottom right are the amenity bases. blue is office and green is laboratory with the secure corridor that runs down the centre. only forensics staff that have the security privileges will be allowed to enter the secure

corridor to enter the laboratory spaces. in this type of facility, due to accreditation issues, glass of water is not allowed on the laboratory side. anything that is not specifically laboratory related would take place in the office space. level three is similar lay out where the bottom right in this case are large conference rooms. office and laboratory spaces. i mentioned the budgets of the project. $165 million. the construction budget of the project is $105 million, the design team is obligated to achieve 95% of that budget. $99.75 million. this is cngc contract which

means the contractor is brought on board during design to help bring their expertise and construction to the team. in this case, we have additional players that we call the core trade subcontractors that have been brought on board as part of the team for mechanical, electrical plumbing and building envelope expertise. they are now the design builders for the project. they are doing the engineering work along with the architectural team. the first estimate that was produced by the cgmc team a year ago, yielded estimate over $129 million. that led to several months of cost reduction efforts which resulted in approximately $23 million of cost reduction to the project in identified $6.65 million deficit that can only be resolved by reducing program from the facility.

that given the early phases of the project, that deficit of $6.65 million was given 30% contingency which resulted in the capital plan committee to fund $8.65 million to the project. that's as we move the project on april 30, 2018. these are how we articulated some of those cost impacts to the cost at that april 30th meeting. scope adjustments, market conditions and causes for delay from various sources. this is the construction schedule as we know it today. as i mentioned, demolition, there are few activities out there putting the perimeter fence for example. demolition is essentially

complete and new construction will be starting in may to june this coming summer. there's a 24-month construction duration that is scheduled from the start of deep piles, can be going down to bedrock in the range of 30 feet to 110 or other 120 feet. that's the final slide. >> commissioner hirsch: i have a couple of questions. capital planning committee, is that a citywide committee? >> the committee is capital planning committee, we bring different projects for the funding and planning ahead of different projects if the city. it's expenditures within the city. >> commissioner hirsch: and, i didn't understand your comment about there was an obligation to at least 95%.

this is on page 13. >> within the design team's contract, they are rared to design a project with their estimated input estimated to be at 95% of what the project construction budget is. the intent of that is to create a contingency for especially bid periods where some bids may come in high and rather than causing another redesign which would slow down the project. it allow us to draw from that contingency to accept certain bids and move forward. >> commissioner brookter: thank you for the presentation. as former member of the bond oversight committee, do you feel like the projects on time and on budget?

>> no. [laughter] >> commissioner brookter: i like to see more information on that. other question is has there been an effort around the amount of traffic? have you guys come forward in front of communities -- [indiscernible] >> we have had had several meetings with the planning department. the project part permit application was required to go through design review and planning department several reviews through there which included m.t.a. we're working with b.s.m. for the improvements along the publicway. there has been quite a bit of

engagement different city agencies. we work with the p.u.c for the electrical applications. puck and also very much with the p.u.c on interactions with pg&e for the attempted resolution to conflicts presented by the existing powerfuls. [indiscernible] >> commissioner brookter: we know things are going on -- it goes a long way. >> commissioner hirsch: vice president taylor. >> commissioner taylor: i noticed on page ten. you have a firing range next to the laboratory space? >> yes.

>> commissioner taylor: i'm a civilian, is that usual? that seem like an odd choice to me. tell me the decision behind that >> firing range is a component of the forensics services division. there's a firing range out at hunters point crime lab. some of the activities that take place there are test firing to analyze bullet markings to test them. there's actually a gun library that will be in the building and part of the analysis includes firing guns of similar calibers and to analyze them against weapon that may have been picked up at a crime scene which could possibly identify and link that weapon to the actual crime. >> commissioner taylor: this is firearm analysis.

this is not officers training. >> no. this a lab space. >> commissioner taylor: my next question was about some of these unanticipated costs. for example, i see soil conditions on page 13 here, $5.5 million cost and sea level rise, $2.8 million. can you tell us about those in particular? >> sure. this project is less than blessed with an ideal soil conditions given the site that was selected. i mentioned bedrock, it's a very complicated site where bedrock crosses the site in an angle. one end of the site, bedrock is only about 30 feet deep and other end it's about 110 feet deep. that is filled with soft mud up to approximately 14 feet to finish grade which was all landfill.

very inadequate soil, especially for inessential facility. those were some of the costs that were revealed as the geotechnical engineering completed the studies. >> commissioner taylor: sea level rise. >> sea level rise was requirement that came on to the project after the budgets was established. this project is within the city's defined flood zone and it is required to raise the grades of the future facility. in an analysis with the sea level rise and analysis was performed and recommended minimum grades for the new facility were given to us. for example, we're raising the

project site slopes at one end we're raising approximately foot and a half and other end it's about 4-foot increase. those soil conditions are all costs that came after the project budget was established. >> commissioner dejesus: if i understand this right, this is to move the traffic division out of the -- [indiscernible] then the 606, this a building we oh we'll take the people out of seismic building. that bonds passed in 2014. it's 2019 and five years later, tells me it's taking a while to get off the ground. i'm wondering how many times start of this project has been delayed. >> well, after the project was

initiated, the environmental approval investigation would have had to take place. my involvement was from april 2016. from that point, we were at schematic design, very early design. that completed in october of 2016 where the project was first revealed to be largely over budget and we went into the first round of cost reduction. what i presented here $23 million reduction is second round of cost reduction. the building itself was reduced in size by 16,000 square feet as the building was redesigned the first time. that redesign was used to solicited the cmgd team. that process took about 5.5 months to come to impression and get the contracting team on

board to begin working with the design team can happened end of november of 2017. the team is now in preconstruction services and moving through the design development phase and fermenting has begun. >> commissioner dejesus: when talked to some of the people, they say there's $3 million shortfall in order to get it off. i thought there was a $3 million shortfall to that even 2019 breaking ground maybe delayed. >> that's not anticipated by me. we plan on -- one slide showed pile work are begin in may or june of this summer. the goal that we're working with the contractor is to maintain the 24 months construction duration.

even though that block of time has slid because of challenges that have come along to the project, we're holding that 24-month, which is tied to cos costs. >> commissioner dejesus: you mentioned, i looked at the wires, you mentioned you need to move those wires so that the floor construction can begin? all telephone wires? >> if they are not moved they would require more difficult logistics by the contractors to stay away from them. that is is a risk that we have that could relate to schedule and cost increases. it's something that we are planning for and we're generating rough order of magnitude cost impacts if the contractor has to work around his lines. in other words if pg&e does not relocate the lines in time for the construction activities. there are definitely work-arounds for the project to

move forward. >> commissioner dejesus: you have plans for more cost in case that happens. is there a plan b? >> there are some contingencies but it really depends upon to what extent pg&e would relocate the lines for the project to be absorb the relocation. >> commissioner dejesus: since they filed for bankruptcy, many of those things have to be approved. i wonder if.will interfere with the regular course of business. >> i really do not know at this point how that bankruptcy is affecting the direct project. >> commissioner dejesus: since the whole bond was to get people out of the unsafe building buila variety of ways, is there any

money or any [indiscernible] >> no that is not something eir have been involved that discussion. >> commissioner hirsch: thank you very much. >> 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]
