>> good morning, everyone. the meeting will come to order. welcome to the february 14, 2018 roll meeting of the public safety and neighborhood services committee. i'm chair of the committee and the constitution of which has changed over of the last couple of months. so my right is vice chair supervisor stephanie and to my left is supervisor walton. welcome to both of you. our clerk is john carroll and i would also like to thank tom and jeff for taffing this meeting. mr. clerk, to you have any announcements some. >> yes, thank you, mr. chair. please assure you've silenced your cell phone or a copy should be submitted to the clerk. items will appear on the february 26, 2019 board of

supervisors agenda. >> agenda number one is an ordinance amending the police code to rescind the police department to be a member of the national rifle association or to collect tournament fees for the national rifle association. >> vice chair we're stephanie, this is yours. >> colleagues, i find this fitting we have considering this ordinance one year ago a gunman opened fire at a high school in florida, killing 17 people, 14 students and three staff members. in six minutes and 20 seconds, 14 children died in parkland that day and were taken away from their parents. three educators died trying to protect their students. in the year since, nearly 1200 more children have died due to

grandmothegun violence. i would like to read the names of the years that passed, scott martin, nick, erim, himey, chris, luke, karr, gina, meadow and we will never forget and remember the thousands of victims of gun violence in the last year and the hundreds of thousands of survivors and family members whose lives have been forever changed. this ordinance might not be that big of a deal, but i think it sends a message. it would rescind the police department's authority to be a member of the nra and to collect tournament feeses on behalf of the nra in connection with holding firearms' tournaments. the nra has become a toxic and dangerous organization. following the mass shooting in parkland, they fervently fought against all guns violence

prevention and argued for more guns in schools. the nra has demonstrated that it has no interest in the safety of our people. yesterday in washington, d.c., in the house judiciary committee, six years after sandyhook, hr8, the universal background check bill passed out of committee. significance years since sandyhook and fine let's we are seeing a bill pass out of committee for universal background check. the nra tweeted today the democrats don't want to end universal, just end at universal background checks. hr8 will lead to a national gun registry which always leaves to confiscation. nra members and gun owners see through their sneaky agenda. are you kidding me? our sneaky agenda? our agenda is to fight for common sense gun reform.

i am so inspired by the three women i see here today in the audience and the millions across america who continue to not accept this level of gun violence in our country. i am inspired by parkland who organized in march. i'm inspired by our own students across the bay who have joined their call for common sense gun safety measures. i'm inspired by the women i've worked with and the men i've worked with over the last two decades on this issue and it is about time we are making the progress we need to make in this country. this legislation sends another message that san francisco stands against the gun violence epidemic in america. the existing code being changed may be considered antiquated and the sf police department has not. a member of the nra for years, but we still must remove the section of the code because words matter. word telwords tell us what we vd

fight for in our society. san francisco and this board values lives of our residents and we do not support the nra and they do not belong in our police code. chief scott and the san francisco police department support this situation and i hope to have your support, colleagues and to the nra, we will not let you profits over people. on this day, i remember the victims, i sent love to survivors and i recommit myself along with the thousands of others to honour all victims of gun violence with action. thank you. >> thank you for your passion and if we don't have any questions or comments, we will go to public comment. if there are members of the

public who would like to comment, i ask that you stand up over on your right. speakers will have two minutes. please state your first and last name clearly and speak directly so the microphone. those who have written comment can leave with the committee clerk and no applausing or booing and speakers are encouraged to avoid repetitious of previous statements and i will call our first speaker. >> thank you, i'm a san francisco resident, district 8. i want to thank supervisor stephthy for bringing this issue to light. it was shocking for me to see this on the agenda and know that in the time of our most horrific gun violence our country has ever seen we have a law on our books to authorize the sfpd to be a member of and to help collect funds for the nra and i completely agree, words matter

tremendously and i'm happy to hear the sfpd supports this and not collecting funds. the nra oppose the most common sense of the gun laws and they fight for every effort there is, including the repeat lawsuit written up, i think just last week, suing california for laws implemented after proposition 63. we should not have any relationship with the nra. it's against our san francisco values, against what the sfpd stands for which is fighting violence of all kinds and i strongly support this bill and very appreciative you bought it tbrought itto our attention andg forward to this becoming law very soon. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker.

>> good morning. my name is maddie scott, i'm for the brady campaign and mothers in charge across the nation. i lost my son 22 years ago to this epidemic. i lost a nephew in 2007, lost a niece in 2011. just recently lost a dear young man from the bayview, mr. powell, to this epidemic, as well, representing a lot of mothers and fathers who could not be here today. tso i'm grateful and thankful fr you all having this hearing and allowing us to speak our peace about this, that we're totally against sfpd with any relationships with the nra and i just got back from d.c. with the families and friends from around

the country and young men and women from all over who helped support the bill, hra. so i'm just glad that shamam is here, who has been at the forefront supervisor, from district 10, who we all know seriously affected by this epidemic, where most of our homicides occur and for you supervisors for being at the forefront always, as well as you supervisor valley brown. so i definitely appreciate your support in this and not allowing our sfpd to become members of the nra. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker. >> my name is mary fryer. i want to thank you for what your doing.

i lost my cousin to gun violence and the nra has stood blocking sensible laws background checks on military assault weapons. and in our case we found out that no background was checked down on a man that killed my cousin and came here to california with a goal of seeking asylum at the russian consulate in 2013. so many people have died this way and what's most anguishing to me is this is preventible. and the nra is toxic, their record is clear and they've done nothing to make us safe. and today for those children and families a year ago today, i want to honour them as well as all the victims and you guys for bringing this to our attention.

this not our value in san francisco and the fact that the man that took my cousin's life was seeking asylum here, he was caught in moren county and came across lines with guns and bullets and high magazines to come here and he was stopped. god knows what could have happened. this is my cousin kirsten, last year, we know that gun deaths in the united states, according to cdc, was the highest level ever. and i am grateful to what you're doing. i thought it would be easy for every time i think about what happened to someone else, it brings back my cousin who did so much for other people and her children who will never have their mother and for my cousin. ok. thank you for what you're doing. thank you. >> thank you.

>> are from any other members of the public who wish to speak on this item before we close public comment? >> i was wondering if the nra has a existing relationship with the local law enforcement agency. i was hoping you could tell us when the last shooting was held and if any funs or fees have been collected in relation to that idea. i would like to be certain that i perceive your measure accurately so that i might better understand you hope to achieve. i believe the nra has not had a relationship with the san francisco police department for at least the last decade and a half and that no tournaments are held at the range but i do find it discomforting and

disconcerting that some officers may feel alienated from their weapons. i would like to know that local law enforcement is competent, proficient, comfortable and familiar with their firearms and that they are adequately trained. so i was wondering what is the periodic range requalifications? what's the schedule like? >> thank you. are there any other members of the public who would like to speak? if not, i will close public comment. public comment is now closed. supervisor walton? >> thank you, chair. first, i just want to thank everyone who came out and spoke and i want to thank supervisor stephanie for sponsoring this. and just one thing i don't agree with in terms of your statement that this is not that big of a deal, because it is a big deal

for us to set a tone, for other municipalities that we do not support the nra and their efforts to continue to push gun violence and continue to be a part of why we are in the state where we are in this country. as we look at gun shows at the cow palace we're trying to eliminate in our city from happening, that one don't share our values but also, the opportunities for guns and magazines and things that violate our state laws to be sold or near our municipality is very problematic. so i just want to say that i'm 100% in support of this and i want to thank you for stepping up with this. it is very important that we let everywhere know that we don't want our law enforcement to be connected with the nra in no, way, shape form or fashion and even the fact that there is law on the books that talks about the opportunity to even be able

to fundraise for an opportunity for the nra is despicable and i'm glad you stepped up with this change that is vital and important. so thank you, supervisor stephanie. >> thank you, supervisor walton. did you want to say anything else. >> thank you, supervisor walton and just to respond to this i tk this is a big deal, i would not have proposed this if i didn't. some people said because the san francisco police department hasn't participated in these firearm tournaments for a long time, that it wasn't really necessary, which, of course, i disagree with. but i completely am so grateful for your support on this. i know as m absoluteaddie scotti know you have been working on this for a long time and we have people on this board and all people are connected on this issue, so thank you for your support.

>> thank you. , vice chair stephanie. sounds like we're all in support, as it's know we are, is a motion for the full board with recommendation. >> so moved. >> so moved by supervisor walton and we'll take that without objection and thanks to all of the folks who came to speak to us today and for all of the work that you do. >> thank you. >> mr. clerk, please call the next item. >> agenda item number two, a resolution supporting california bill number 23 to expand the definition of vehicle burglary to include any unlawful entry. >> great. we have been joined by supervisor valley brown from district 5. this is your item. >> thank you, chair. and thank you for letting me present today and thank you supervisor stephanie for cosponsoring. and today, tara reed from the d.a.'s office is here to speak

about this also. today i'm here to speak about my resolution supporting state senate bill sb-23. san francisco has the highest rate of property crimes in the state. in 2017, there were over 32,000 auto break-ins in san francisco. according to the city analyst, it's over the state-wide average and that number has come down a little bit recently but it's still who high. i receive calls an e-mails every week from my constituents asking what is city hall doing about this and i imagine the other supervisors had the same calls an e-mails when you're walking down the street, and you see broken windows, car windows, on the streets. when you have to go to your car and you're trying to get t to wk and the window broken and you are to deal with that, people are frustrated. what sb-23 does is clarifies the

definition of an auto break inform or burglary. it defined auto burglary as entering a vehicle unlawfully with the intent to commit theft. it removes a wide loophole. currently when an auto burglar is arrested prosecutors must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the vehicle was locked. this addresses a lot of the criminal rings that come into the city that prey on tourists and residents alike. often victims are unable to attend a hearing to testify. they may be tourists who have returned home or a resident who just can't take the time off from work or school to testify. what isn' sb23 does not do is increase any penalties or anybody convicted of auto burglary. this loophole removes a barrier

to proving the years, that a window was broken to gain entry to a locked vehicle. sadly car break-ins are now an epidemic in california cities and we have to be smart when parking but san francisco and tourists shouldn't have to think twice when considering parking. we shouldn't have to step over blown glass in our neighborhood and we shouldn't have to prove that when our car is broken into it was locked and was an intent to burglary. when someone breaks into your car, they're usually breaking into steal something. so i hope you will send this resolution with recommendation to the full board today for consideration for nex next week. could we have the d.a. come up, tara? >> absolutely. >> thank you, tara anderson. >> heli'm the district of policy

for the district attorney's office and i want to echo thank yous that supervisor brown also shared. thank you to senator weiner for introducing this important legislation which is cosponsored by assembly members. thank you, as well, to supervisor stephanie and president yi for the cosponsoring of this resolution that's before you for consideration today and i'm hopeful that i can answer any questions that you may have. i want to reiterate that auto burglaries are on the decline and we've had a 17% decrease here this san francisco but absolutely, there's still work to be done. a lot of great prevent preventin efforts, a lot speaking with the san francisco police department, the crime's strategy unit within our office and also collaborations with the community, including sf travel. under current law to secure

conviction when a person committing auto burglary is arrested one one of the elements prosecutors must prove beyond a reasonable doubt is that the vehicle was locked. unfortunately, the fact the victim's window was broken does not by itself establish that the vehicle was locked. as was referred to, approximately 25 million visitors every year come to sanfrancisco and 55% of auto burglary victims are not from san francisco and therein lies a challenge when they're called upon to testify about whether or not the doors were actually locked to the vehicle. when arrest is made, it's essential we give prosecutors in my office the tools they need to meet their burden of proof. and while we prosecute over 80% of the arrests that come to us, legislation for consideration under sb-23 will close a loophole that has allowed some individuals to escape consequences. common circumstances where it

can be difficult, again, where an individual has broken a window and entered a vehicle to complete a theft and then proceed to leave the door open or unlocked, if a person broke into a window and the victim returns to their vehicle and opens the door before police are able to take a police report and establish that the vehicle was locked, or if a victim forgets, did i lock the door? did i not like the door? i know my window was broken but this can prevent us from meeting a be threshold that the vehicle was locked before entry took place. i'm happy to speak to how this legislation has evolved. this is the second session it's been introduced and respond to any question or concerns you may have about a resolution in support of this. >> thank you, miss anderson. are there any questions? supervisor walton?

>> thank you, supervisor. definitely something that i know is prevalent here in the city and i have been a victim of having my window broken in and some of my possessions taken and sent me back about $1,000. i was not a happy camper and this is something that even know the actual crimes are down and car break-ins are down continues to be an issue in the city. also always focused about preventprevention aspects of evw and i know in the conversation, there's a thought process that this would actually deter contract from breaking windows and just wondering, what about this law makes us think that it would actually deter people from doing this? >> because we see the particular targets of individuals to our great city, when they know it's

not a requirement that they would have to come back and testify, obviously that has delayed deterrent effect for individuals in community. i would say that part of that is what i spoke to earlier, the ongoing collaborative efforts where we're meeting not just with sf travel but what actually came up in the autoburg hearing back in october, if i'm not mistaken, where we've been able to use crime data analysis to partner with the areas that are the greatest hot spots for auto burglary and some of this we've seen concentrated in certain parking facilities and so ensuring that there is adequate posting when folks come in, that they are remindedded not to leave belongings out. so prevention from both perspectives of an individual leaving things in plain sight.

and if we are hole be more individuals accountable and near not getting out of meeting the consequences for their conduct because of a loophope, i think we'll see this reduction we're on the decline i in terms of new reports of auto burglary. >> vice chair, stephanie? >> thank you, chair. first of all, i want to thank senator weiner for bringing this bill back and i want to thank senator brown for supporting this bill. i think it's extreme important. we tried last year but it didn't pass muster at the state level. as a former prosecutor, this crime is too easy to get away with. it's a 459, you have certain elementaries you have to prove and you have to prove if someone locked the car and you have certain witnesses, it's too impossible. just the fact that the window is broken is evidence enough that

somebody has broken into a car. my car was broken into right after christmas. and unfortunately, my husband did leave something in the ca, my daughter's brand new shoes. but at the same time, this can't keep happening. we have a property crime epidemic in san francisco and we're working on it, it's going down. but the fact that prosecutors get cases from the police and we we would have to determine what laws have been violated to determine any charges, if you don't have this one element, you can't charge the case. it's not that you can't get it charged, you can't charge the case. i think this is a step in the right direction and thank you for bringing this to committee. >> supervisor brown? >> yes. yes. tara anderson, can you please tell us about the criminal rings that come to the city because that's one of the things -- if

you can. i've been told we have criminal rings that come to the city that prey on people whether tourists or someone leaving a bag in a car. i actually, two weeks ago, got a call from a person that lives in the western district and her mother came to town, she went to pick her up at the airport. they took her bags in but she left another little bag she forgot. the woman came out to her car, the window was broken and one of the things it affects people with low income because she's low income, she doesn't have comprehensive insurance and she can't replace her window. she has to replace it out of her pocket. she called our office upset and an officer said there's criminal rings looking for that. can you speak to that?
