already done with respect to the 96a? >> it's an auditing unit within my bureau. >> stlis >> commissioner: is this the executive summary? with respect to the gap in record reporting -- >> commissioner: i don't went to and coming in to play ab953. there's a window there an eight to ten month window according to our program manager. the report kolling -- coming out in may will shore that up.

>> during that window, we don't have data at that point or data won't have been collected during that point? >> it's been collected just not analyzed. >> >> it will be analyzed retroactively? >> yes, sir. >> commissioner: and page 8 of the executive summary and it's on the actual 130-page report. the numbers are disturbing in this graph for me because -- >> i don't have that with me. i'm sorry. >> my issue is why are the total uses of force against black males are so high? it appears with respect to the uses of force against black males, it's 35% against black males. and why are black males three times more likely to have

firearms pointed at them then white males. there's 127 incident where guns are pointed at black males versus white and asian males and hispanic males. i don't understand why the numbers are so high. the reason i don't understand why the numbers are so high because when i look at the census data for san francisco taken in 2017 the population is 885,000 people and the population of african americans is 5.5%. that's female and male individuals. so i would assume the male population of black males in the city is less than that. if the population is less than 5.5% how come there are 35% are having uses of force being directed at them? and why is it every category with respect to use of force

except physical contact is significantly higher for black males than any other race or sex. these numbers are disturbing and i want to know what the logical reasonable explanation is for the numbers numbers don't lie. >> first of all, numbers don't lie, i agree. if you look at the numbers, i think they clearly illustrate a disparity at minimum. the short answer i think is that is the crux of my last bull it -- bullet and we'll do the analysis qual -- qualitative and quantitative. at this juncture in this form i don't have the answer. >> commissioner: are they going to look at the bias, policing and practices? >> yes. >> commissioner: in addition with partnering with academic

institutions what else are we doing to explain or find a solution that comports with 21st century policing and there's a huge disparity in numbers when it comes to black males and the use of force. >> externally the academic partnerships will bode well for us. on an internal perspective we have a tremendous amount of training from our academy under and officers are constantly going to different trainings and courses to expose them to different experiences and get them more sensitive, i think is the right term, with persons of color. our investigation is deep and continuous. i'm confident the training in addition to the external research collectively will give us a bigger picture and more detailed picture why this is happening and importantly how to shore the gap.

>> commissioner: i want to know what bias training the officers are receiving. i think two main parts of bias which are implicit and explicit boy as -- bias aren't covered in depth in the training i don't think bias is on its face and when we see excessive force, we can't necessarily on its face say that's bias. i want to know how we parse this out to identify the types of things happening. i think it's very difficult >> commissioner: let's get an

answer on the implicit bias. i know there's separate training because i took an abbreviated course. we have implicit bias training from the top down. we have a piece in our professional training academy every 24 months and they receive an update at minimum in implicit why as training. there's academy domains. it starts in the academy and ongoing throughout the years as officers go through their career and from the management arena down we all receive implicit bias training. >> commissioner: to address the questions commissioner elias

raised. we have the procedure of justice training and implicit bias training and we asked the u.s. d.o.j. to issue the report and we're now work the california d.o.j. to continue this program. we have implemented many programs and partnering with academic institutions to identify the data. we see there's concerning numbers. what's it mean and how's it correlate with the police work and correlate with the engagement in the community. they'll be issuing additional recommendations how to address the implicit bias concerns raised by the commission and members in the police department. >> commissioner: are there going to be mechanisms in place to e

analyze the data and what transpired and level of force used and how it escalated but are we going to look at each use of force to see if there's patterns of racial disparities there? looking in an individualized capacity rather than a broad overview? >> the institutions told us we have a robust data collection process. they were pleased with the data. i think it's helpful and will inform the department on issuing recommendations. i forgot to mention we also implemented the electronic

monitoring system and we look at the bias. we're looking at everything we can in looking at bias and use of force and the e.i.s. program and we partnered for recommendations how to improve that program we came across hurdles but we're still waiting for that report to come back to address if there's trends in use of force how do we identify problems whether as it training. >> i have talked to the chief about this issue in the past many months ago and recently was these numbers pretty much stay the same every quarter.

i told him we'd like to hear from the academics about the lopsided numbers. there's no simple explanation. i don't think it's just this or that. one number that disturbed me the most it showed 42% of the calls are for african americans. it's the public doing this as well. i want to hear from people who studied this and tell us what the numbers mean. >> >> commissioner: what i'm hearing you saying is the police department does the data collection. it's going to be the academic

institution to analyze the data? >> they'll issue the recommendations. we're looking at developing performance dashboard to look to continuously monitor but until we get the recommendations we're in a holding pattern and continuously providing the data to them so they can provide the best report possible and recommendations along with that report. >> commissioner: and i have several questions. >> commissioner: but there's other people waiting and i'd like you to wait and let other people ask questions but we have other people waiting. commissioner dejesus. i'd like you to ask questions as well. >> i understand. what i'm saying is if -- >> commissioner: go ahead and finish. >> i'm in the queue first? >> commissioner: but you don't

have half an hour there's other people in the queue. >> remember that with the other commissioners as well. with reference to the one case received by d.p.a. to the complaints received. i think i'm trying to understand why out of the total use of force which is 630 incident only one complaint was received by d.p.a. for bias. i don't know if this is a director henderson issue or your issue. it's my understanding when complaints are made to d.p.a., they still investigates and if there's other issues that arise from the investigation, they then follow-up on those? >> we do our own analysis of them. how they qualify or classify the cases doesn't correlate to our investigation so they may be different from these reflect.

it's a good question because it leads to the things we'll be addressing and this may address some questions you asked earlier with the audit presentation for the 20th. some of that audit will address the differences and distinctions from the 96a report as well. this is one of them on why the numbers may be different from the numbers i report on a regular basis. >> does d.p.a. -- do your investigators receive bias training so they when they conduct the investigations they know what to look for or how to handle investigations regarding bias? >> it's more than just the investigators. as the entirety of the office. it's also the lawyers who are doing some of the analysis with the work. it's also the support staff that interacts at the front desk. it's a big topic. we provide for everyone to participate. >> commissioner: you provide or

through the city in --? >> through the city. >> commissioner: vice president taylor. >> commissioner: i think there's a typo. it says the department has expanded its commitment to c.i.t. and of december 31, 2019 we've trained 990 sworn but it couldn't be 2019 because this is only march 2019 if i'm right. i think it's 2018. i want to make sure we have that right. >> yes. i'm glad you're handling this because of the nuances and though there's success stories in here there's glaring issues you can work with.

commissioner elias is talking about stats on the fourth quarter of 2018. it's all the training we've had in the last couple years, we're still talking two months ago it showed 35% are african american males. we talked about use of force by race, ethnicity and gender officer fourth quarter 2017 versus 2018. with talked about the gender and race of police officers doing the force. when you look at that, it says for the fourth quarter in 2017, 196 white male officers using force and in 2018 it's down but still 179.

the next closest is asian male at 68 and hispanic male officers it's more than double use of force. it's concerning to me. when you deal with the experts maybe there's more white male officers on the force maybe that's why the number is so much higher or not. those are the areas i talk about implicit bias. that's also a lopsided number. think commissioner elias covered most the rest of what i was going ask but i thought that was important we look at who's using the force and if there's an explanation. >> i hope the data analysis will reveal that. >> >> and e.i.s., i'd like know where we are with that because

our experts hung us out to dry and i know it needs to be revamped and it concerns me we're collecting data and sergeant youngblood has done an excellent job and since it's not stru structured and i'm concerned we are getting data that may not be helpful or may skew the results. >> the fourth quarter report is coming up to the commission. >> commissioner: but we don't even collect the right data on that. >> it can help us understand the e.i.s. system. i hope considering it's flawed, i think it's flawed. i hope it doesn't skew the result when dealing with the experts. >> commissioner: vice president taylor. >> hi.

>> commissioner: as i think you recognize, this is a problem. we're less than 6% of the population of this small city and it cannot be, it is not we are committing all the crimes. the question is as investigators, where we're looking. it's a problem we're sit being here with stats that are the same and just to drill down on what commissioner dejesus just mentioned with the officer using the force, we have 196 white male officers using force against others and in first quarter 2018, 179 compared to 25 and 22 black officers. and if it's true 42% of the call

involve black subjects how do you respond? if you respond with a weapon drawn opposed to white subjects for 127 for black males, that's a problem with response and yes, it might very well be true that many citizens of the city walk around with implicit bias. the enact years after the d.o.j. report was sitting here with stats like these for me i don't get it. there's a problem we're not fixing yet. i don't want to come back with another report with numbers like these because they make me ashamed and speaks in the department that i hope is not reflect itch of who we are? >> i respect your feelings and

how you feel but i can say with certainly the organization is making massive steps to improving and being more efficient. i just ask that some patience be employed. i think once we get the data back and the experts have a chance to do the analysis and do their quantitative and qualitative because it's a dual track. there's qualifiers that need to be looked at also. i'm hopeful and confident once we get that information back and they've had a chance to do their analysis that this conversation can be more useful and amenable to the board and things will look different? >> commissioner: in late 2019 or summer? >> i believe it will be around november of this year. >> commissioner: we'll have something from john jay? >> yes.

>> commissioner: looking at the statistics, alarming. however, as we're thinking about academia, i think we all know on a more micro level what this means and how we address it now before having to wait from the academic institution to give us this raw data we know is going on nationwide. i think us as a department need to be at the forefront and this is unacceptable and we will not stand for it ann -- any longer. >> i agree and feel confident in the interim we're doing things to improve. i think the entire reform effort with the d.o.j. identifies and represents what we consider a

change initiative and i think all of us change within organizations take a very long time especially when you're talking about a dynamic public center entity like the san francisco police department with many moving parts and variables. i'm not making any excuses. i'm saying we have to be realists and not idealists about what's happening here. it's going to take time and no organization is perfect. we do profess at this time we're making extensive concerted, sincere efforts to improve. >> >> is there a way to separate out the suspects reported to police. there's a huge disparity in terms of african american individuals that calls for service come in.

it's also police officers observing the calls of service and what the officers observe? page seven of the executive summary suspect observed and reported to police. there's a concern 42% of the suspects have african american but there's two components. the people that call for service and the other category is the officers that observe the crime. >> can we separate those out? >> i'm sure we can. >> it's observed and reported. we have reporting it to 9-1-1. it's observed and reported 9-1-1

calls. >> those were 9-1-1 calls. >> correct. >> this is observed and reported. >> we often times respond to the m -- 9-1-1 calls provided by the 9-1-1 caller and that's part of the data and how officers are initiating the activity versus responding to a call by an individual citizen or victim.

>> we have the self-initiated corrections. >> i'm sorry. go ahead. >> the question was raised in this conversation. i addressed it. >> commissioner dejesus. >> i want to be mindful. i've been on the commission long enough to understand our population grows half a million a day people coming in and out and wonder if we collected addresses. we're using a population of san francisco and the number of use of force on the black male and hispanic males. >> are you saying the influx of people every day?

do we know whether we need to know that or not. maybe we don't need to know that. maybe it's just the fact they're african american males and have the highest percentage of guns pointed at them or use of force. >> if we could parse that out. >> that would be possible. >> commissioner: if it's possible or makes a difference. >> those that are residents versus out of county?

>> in reading many reports they're not all from san francisco. maybe it's the fact they're still higher incidence of use of force maybe discuss it with the experts. >> commissioner: even if they're not from san francisco and officers are drawing firearms on them. half a million people coming in aren't just black people. just a thought. >> for our purpose for the way i look at it whether it's 6% or 7% based on who's coming from out of town, it's irrelevant it's the conduct the officers are engaged in and determine if policies need to be amended or training needs to be changed and

address concerns the commission raised. we're not just sitting down and waiting for this report to come out. there are steps we are taking. we developed a use of force unit at the academy they review all uses of force. we don't just report to the academic institution and they're looking at it from a training and policy perspective to see what we need to change. we have developed a training. we have critical mind set training when they respond to a call, we want them to think through and how they're approaching the calls do all the officers need to respond or be cautious and the others are focussing on crowd control and looking at other indicators.

>> we're making sure we're not excessive in our approach whether it's the pointing of the firearm or contacting them. all these things are being discussed and implemented as we continue to wait for the report. and the pointing of the firearms, use of force, i think it's important to recognize the way the data's collected if you have an armed robbery vehicle with four subjects in the car and they pull the car over and the officers conduct what we call a felony car stop. if have you two officers now pointing firearms at that vehicle with four individuals, that's now eight uses of force pointing of a firearm times two. we have to understand the incident vers us the use of -- versus the use of force and the firearm is a high percentage of

the use of force. i might add that we were, i believe, the if not one of the first departments in the country to start tracking point of firearm as a use of force. it's informative and helps the department in analyzing data and moving forward in the training to become the best practice.

b i want change more than i >> thank you. i will now call upon commander teresa to report on the 2,018th statistical report for the police commission resolution safe streets for all. >> good evening -- the 2018

statistical -- statistical report for the police commission resolution, safe streets for all >> don't you wish you went first? [laughter] >> hi. >> hi there. >> commissioners, i am here to speak about safe streets for all. it is a fourth-quarter reporting. i am in charge of traffic. can you push up -- there we go. >> so the goal of vision zero is to end fatalities by the year 2024. partnered with the community

stakeholders to expand training education, we focused on the five violations, primary collision factors, that were examined over time, basically turning or running a red light, those are examples, and then reporting to the police commission. effort and deployment, really focusing on vision zero hi injury corridors. this is for all district stations. prioritize corridors with high incidence of fatalities and despair injuries, operational enforcement of locations identified by citizen complaints, board of supervisors, stations, traffic companies, officers observing the violations, and things that are going on in the city. sometimes with the reengineering of the streets, it causes a little bit of chaos sometimes. so we try to go out there and we try to remind people that you

have to follow the signs on the street, depending -- the painting of the bike lanes and so on. and then partnering with the other city agencies. it pretty much is every department in san francisco that we partner with. so the five collision -- top five collision factors are speeding, violating pedestrian right of way, running red lights, violation of running stop signs, failing to yield while turning violation. i will say that the majority of fatalities are due to turning. so that is something that we are constantly looking at, especially in the reengineering of the streets and not a lot -- not alone people to turn while pedestrians are walking. we are seeing it over and over again, so we are constantly talking about it in these meetings. i provided you -- this is the

new action strategy. it will be coming out like this. it is also in the binder in case anybody wants to see that. there are great points in here, and these are our goals to get 20 fatalities by 2024. the focus on the five numbers. so when you look at these numbers, the totals are 6500 versus 3600 for this time period, october to december, it is not a great number. during this time, we added a class of ten people that came into our unit. it is an eight-week class, and so it took a lot of our effort to get everyone trained up, to get them ready to go on the street and to be part of the traffic company. i apologize, i am not turning on while talking. so this is the comparisons year

to date. again, when you look at the bottom numbers, ideally our numbers should be 50%. i can tell you right now, february, we are at 50% for vision zero citations. those numbers are moving up. the traffic company will be working with district stations, coming into plans, the recent fatalities, obviously are extremely concerning. we're partnering with the district stations and coming up with different operations that both they can run on their own, but also have traffic companies assist them in any operations they want to do, but we will have our own as well. when you look at the fatalities from january to december of last year, you see pedestrian right-of-way. yes, in the news, we have had a lot of conversation about hits

and runs, we're also looking at those. we have a couple, unfortunately since the end of the year. they were also -- we are also looking at the success of our investigative unit. it is very good considering all the video that we have in san francisco and people coming forward and following these vehicles and calling the police. these are the main violations, primary collision factors in a collision. we try to keep track and try to understand it. we don't see necessarily distracted driving. all this as i said before, distracted driving is an enormous problem. we have had a couple fatalities based on someone being on their phone or looking at a map, so that is something -- outreach is a big component of vision zero and part of the strategy. so that is going to be absolutely in the forefront of our outreach.

the hit and run cases and the victims, when you look at this slide, unfortunately, out of the 23, we had for pedestrians, one motorist -- we had four pedestrians, one motorist, and two cyclists. it is a strange number, because in the years prior, we did not have a lot of hit and runs. we are trying to understand why all of a sudden we are having this amount of hit and runs and still ongoing conversations, but we are trying to come up with some strategy to get people to take responsibility and stop when there involved in a collision -- when they are involved in a collision. the numbers through the years, as you can see, by the end of 2018, we reach 23. again, this is not an acceptable number. we are all working very hard in

the vision zero group to try to get this down more and more. the 23 is -- as we move down from 2013, obviously we are doing better than we were, but even one is two much as we continually -- continuously say. hopefully this year we will be able to make some leeway again. safety and education programs, we do different d.u.i. operations through the year, truck at -- traffic enforcement. again, it goes back to examples like sending a pedestrian out there to walk across the street. if people are not stopping, they get a citation from a police officer. those operations are always ongoing and we also have safe routes to school where we follow the bus, and if somebody tries to pass the bus when the lights are on, then obviously we stop that vehicle and give them a

citation. restaurant bicycle safety enforcement. we have to unless on this because we have been focusing on the five. these are operations that obviously, in 2019, we are definitely -- we have ready spoken about this. we need to do more. a traffic safety and education, again, working with partners, doing outreach to schools, the elderly, many of our victims are over 70 years old. that is concerning because they are walking across the street, sometimes taking longer than others. what we would -- what we do is when we are evaluating the collision, we look to see the timing of the light. as it long enough for the elderly to get across the street or somebody who has a handicap? it is very important for us to look at. the radar is four-speed enforcement, and then c.h.p. joint operations, we tried to --

the radar is a four speed enforcement, and then c.h.p. joint operations, we tried to partner with them because it gives us more resources. having bodies on the street. we also tried to partner with them to assist us. i'm waiting for the question. she warned me ahead of time that i would get a pedestrian question. >> this is a little bit different, though. with respect to the high injury corridor is, how is that determined? is a determined by the operational enforcement, the board of supervisors and the traffic company? >> it is evaluated by the team at mda and d.b.h. they evaluate it every three years and they determine which areas are high injury corridor orders. obviously a changes with the streets. some areas are no longer on the high injury corridor, but they

evaluate them. >> is it a list to follow in terms of where this -- went to station the patrol unit or the motorcycle cop? >> a lot of times we look at -- it is not only the fatalities, but also the injuries. we look at all the collisions and the number of collisions, even if it has a minor injury, it is still an important piece. we look at that, and if there has been -- at their have now been two fatalities. this is obviously extremely concerning for us. we are asking m.t.a. to evaluate and reengineer that area to slow down the speed -- the focus of the vision zero -- vision zero group is to slow down vehicles and cyclists from exceeding speed limits, or even the speed that can kill someone, so the numbers in regards to anyone over 60 is higher than anyone below 60 and 70 and 80 of the

likely -- and the likelihood of death is greater as you get older when you're hit at certain speeds. 25 miles an hour can kill you if you are 80 years old. we try to look at that in reducing speed. >> you said you had ten people added to the unit. are those all motorcycle officers or they are also patrol officers? >> they're on motorcycles. >> thank you, commander. >> and you had asked about t.n.c. >> yes, i had. >> did you have specific questions as far as our enforcement? >> i'm trying to think what my concern was. i'm just wondering whether that is part of your focus right now. why don't you explain it. >> absolutely. it is part of our focus. i think i almost got hit by a t.n.c. today on my way to work. i'm sure everybody in this room has had an experience. the behaviour is pretty

unacceptable. u-turn, stop in the middle of a roadway, it is allowing passengers to get out into a lane of traffic, it is all very dangerous and illegal. the law enforcement has stayed out of it tuna extent as far as the interacting with the t.n.c. themselves and -- to an extent as far as the interacting with the t.n.c. themselves. the company has no responsibility. it is legislated through the state, and we do not have any teeth and it. they don't have to do anything that we ask them to do. we asked for geo- fencing in an area where they can pick up during big events, sometimes that happens, they cooperate at times, but the drivers don't have to because, again, it is an app, they don't work for the company. we have been trying to work with them. we came up with an idea of doing

a roll call training that all the drivers have to watch a video about safety and proper driving, letting your passenger out in the right location. they are working on that idea, -- >> has the department met with the corporate leaders of huber to at least discuss the fact that there is a serious issue in the city? it is not just inconvenience now, it is now safety as you just witnessed today. >> because they don't have to meet with us. >> they don't have to, but has there been overture? >> i have asked, and that is why m.t.a. is taking the lead on it. we are trying to work in sacramento to get -- it is similar to autonomous vehicles. legislation is the thing that guides them. we don't have any say in what

they do. i understand going -- they should be a partner at the table for vision zero. that is what i would like to see, but again, they are an app and not held responsible for the actions of their drivers. >> i guess that remains to be seen, really. i appreciate that, though, and maybe it's time for political action. thank you. any other questions from commissioners? >> one final question. i'm glad you're talking about the senior population because they had a meeting with folks not too long ago. it is a statement and a question and it comes from a community member, and maybe a plant the seeds. have there been conversations about the possibility of what a seniors home could look like? there are pockets in areas throughout the city in chinatown and hunter's point where there is a larger population of seniors, especially senior housing. just conversations around more signage for folks to slow down. i know there is a bill that has been passed that allows more time for focused across the street. have have there been any of those conversations?

>> m.t.a. has a really large outreach group, and yes, absolutely. we do sit down, we discussed the timing of the lights, outreach to speak to every population, really when you talk about the elderly, and the languages they understand, signage that people can read, i mean, that's very, very important. the d.a. even has outreach that is on the bus shelters. so we try really hard to get the word out there. i go to meetings, community groups, and speak about it. we have a translator there with us. it is really about the importance of crossing safely. it is hard, though because people want to cross the street where they want to cross the street. it's harder because the elderly have a hard time getting to that corner where the crosswalk is. so they decide to take a shortcut at times. so for right now, it is about

reducing the speed on the street >> thank you. >> thank you. >> yeah? anything else? >> that concludes the chief report. >> i do have a question for you, back to -- i was trying to wait for the chief's report. you did your significant incidences. i want to point out that last time we met was february 20th. we have not met in 14 days, any notice when you're doing your significant events you said this week's events that happened this week, but i want to note that our public defender did die in this city on the 22nd after we met and it wasn't mentioned in your report, and i consider that a significant incident, especially after all the press we got and all -- and things like that. i was wondering why it wasn't mentioned, more importantly, during that incident, there has

been a lot of questions raised directly to me regarding policies that we have regarding police reports, incident reports, general rules of conduct that we have regarding divulging confidential information, compromising an investigation, and so i was hoping you would mention it tonight so we could talk about what is the policy of our department, what rules of conduct do we have in place that protect the privacy of the individuals, or the police report? how do reports even get released , things like that, so i did not hear that. i wanted to raise that tonight. >> is that a matter we need to put on the agenda? >> it should be put on the agenda. >> the first question was, why wasn't it raised, we have not met for 14 days and that was a significant event in the city. why was it left off your list? let's start with that. that's something we can talk about tonight.

>> the incidence that you are referring to, we're talking about the crime trend that -- homicides and shootings. the incident did not meet that criteria, that's why we didn't discuss it. >> i see. maybe i'm wrong, i don't have the agenda in front of me, but i thought it was a significant incidences. all right. so you didn't mention it at all. weekly crime trends are significant incidences. it did not rise to that level, is that what you are saying? or major events? >> major events, we usually talk about huge events like parades, festivals, things that bring a lot of people to the city. crime stats, we're talking about incidents that involve criminal activity. >> all right, okay. i will -- i will put that on the agenda. i think we need to talk about it. the public his very concerned. we do have policies in place,

and we do have rules in place and how information is obtained. when it comes to that, i think i want to put it on the agenda. >> let's ask that it be on the police chief report for next week. >> okay. >> okay. , anything else? >> that concludes my report. >> we are ready for the d.b.a. director's report. >> i will read it into the record, the report on recent d.b.a. activities and announcements. they were portal be limited to a brief description of d.b.a. activities and announcements. commission discussion will be limited to determining whether to calendar any of the issues raised for future commission meetings. >> good evening. i have an update on a lot of our stats since we last met. we are up to 106 cases that have been opened so far this year.

this is reflective of the spike that we talked about earlier. this time last year we were at 89 cases new that had come into the department, cases that have been closed, we are at 98 cases that have been closed this year compared to 80 last year. in terms of open cases in the department, it is 289 right now. so far, in terms of cases that had been sustained, those numbers are also up, we are at 16 at this year, as opposed to three at this time last year. on the 270 day report, we talked about that two weeks ago, those numbers started going down now. of the cases that are past 270 days, we are at 23, so those numbers have gone down. twenty of those cases that are past the 270 day tolling are being told for legal reasons.

we are at three cases that have been mediated so far this year as compared to one case this time last year. i will say, and you have just mentioned in terms of the cases of note, some of the investigations that our -- our in our offices. that was one of the cases that has been opened in our office, and we can have more discussion about it within the restrictions when it comes to be on the agenda. that is the case with complaints that have been made to d.b.a. about the open investigation. with our public defender. i will say one of the things that is pressing right now, aside from the work that the department is doing with 1421 in preparation ongoing with the department and with the city, our budget. it is budget season right now and the mayor is asking for some cuts and a lot of funding

requests are focused on our case management system, our move, and s.b. 1421 approach. i will say, there's been a lot of outreach since our last meeting, and i will just go over and highlight some of the things that we have been doing, participating in. in february, we had a joint meeting from the mediation team in conjunction with the chief, and the deputy chief to make a presentation to all of the command staff, captains, directors, and employee groups about the mediation program to try and expand upon the work, and on the 21st, we participated in the tenderloin a recreational centre resource. we are getting ready for some of the summer programs. many of the programs that you heard about earlier today in the evening from the report with less are also in partnership with d.p.a. as well.

we are doing our own independent outreach to make sure that we are capturing a broad a range of students as possible in many of the programs that were articulated earlier. on the 23rd, we participated in a resource table at the chinatown street fair. on the 24th, our deputy director presented at the s. fpd cadet academy, specifically talking about civilian oversight and what the complaint process is and how it works. on the 25th, one of our senior inspectors attended the lunar new year celebration at city hall on behalf of the organization. on the 26th, the tenderloin station community meeting, we sent staff to attend that meeting and speak. a february 27th, we stopped the resource centre at the recreation center for their

summer resource fair. in the audience tonight is our senior investigator, also my chief of staff. if there are issues that come up during the evening where the public needs to speak to someone about the resources or the activities, or support from d.p.a. i think that is it. >> thank you. >> next item. >> excuse me. commission reports. they will be limited to a brief description of activities and announcements. discussion will be limited to determining whether to calendar any of the issues raised for future -- future commission meetings. >> i don't have a report this week. any other reports from commissioners? yes? >> i did meet with the youth commission on monday. some of you are new, but i had, with the old commission, i had suggested we have a member of

the youth commission sit with us. they can sit with us and then they can tell us what they are doing and have access and provide input on their perspective. so i have the city attorney who provided a draft resolution, and i have it with you, commission because they like to tweak it a little bit. they would like to help it out. i will be meeting with them and working that out, then i will bring it to you. the idea is to have one of them come weekly and sit with us and participate in our discussions, except for the areas where they can't participate. i just wanted to put you on notice that that is coming. >> okay. >> thank you, i wanted to give an update on 1421. we did have a meeting on drafting the policies and procedures for 1421. we are still working on it and anticipate to have another meeting this friday regarding the policies and procedures and how we can start rolling stuff out.
