thank you. as you know i'm here to present the time line for the orchard bakery and our relatively slow response to the crime. at happen at 119 at 100 hours and the owner was robbed by two subjects. a call was received at approximately 1228 hours and interpretations services were used by dem at which time the call was classified as a b priority. initial node notification and broadcast was made to police at 1237 hours. due to active impending calls there were no available units at that time at 1410 and 1405 hours they were advised of multiple pending calls. there continued to be no available units at those times. at 1620 hours an available unit

was dispatched however, it was pre cemented -- pre cemented preempted to a higher priority call and made contact with the victim. we have three priority calls, a, b and c. calls are classified as a, life-threatening emergency, weapon used, known parties involved and the location. a b priority which this was classified, would be there is potential for harm to life, potential for harm to property, location of the incident, when the incident occurred, suspect may be in the area and there may be a description of the suspect. and then our lowest priority call which is a c priority call. there's no present or potential danger to life or property. suspect is no longer in the area and the crime scene is protected and description of the suspect may be known.

as protocol dm broadcast the rating runs several times offer the course of the four hours and the sergeant did acknowledge it twice over that time period. i met with the higher ups to discuss the incident and others around pending runs and we came up with an agreement to review procedures and improve performance. i meet yet and the prior week with all the field bureau captains and advised sergeants and if they're not available, lieutenants have to triage waiting assignment.

it's not uncommon to have waiting assignments and there's 3300 calls a day distributed throughout the stations. i want to close with this shouldn't have happened. we have to do better. chief scott said the four-hour delay was too long no matter what the priority was classified. we're all in agreement we met with media and discussed the issue and the chief continues to messed we can do better and working with the partnership at dem to improve our response. now we'll have more on fallup -- follow-up investigation. >> commissioner: i have a quick question. on the day of the incident there was additional staffing there was a march. >> the women's march was held

that day. >> my concern was were we fully staffed enough to cover our district stations while taking officers from stations and sending them to the march? did we have enough officers? the following weekend we have the march for life and we look at city wide staffing and only think what we think the station can give for an event and supplement that with overtime. both were large events and required a large police presence. >> you take officers -- >> four from ingle side station. >> and we had an incident with an assault victim. >> commissioner: maybe next time we can have more officers in overtime. i know there's a concern on overtime but when you hear the

calls for service were hanging for that period of time, the public expects better. if there's no cars available and i hear there's a priority they have to go to, again, every call's very important to the public when they do call the police. so i just wish we would next time have more staffing available because that's more important. it's important to have all these things staffed but to have something like this happen is detrimental to us and we need to have more officers on the street on these days. >> we absolutely agree. >> commissioner dejesus. >> commissioner: before we get to the investigation i'm the one who asked for the hearing and there's things i want to ask and i it doesn't matter what it's classified, an elderly person was beaten and i guess i need clarity on this. when you say the sergeant

acknowledged this call was waiting at least two times but one of the ways you're going to try to fix this is when the sergeant instead of a lieutenant waiting for a sar guest -- sergeant to assign are you saying only they can send someone out the lieutenants can't help? >> anybody can make the decision to send a unit. absent a sergeant doing the actual triaging, a lieutenant has to step up and do it. i'm not following the logic. wouldn't they step up it to either the sergeant was on top of it and didn't have a car? i need clarity? >> the sergeant that acknowledge the run twice is the same

sergeant and a very conscientious sergeant that acknowledged the hanging run. again, it was a busy day in the district. >> they knew it was a person who didn't speak english so they talk about an injury or a broken hand or -- >> that's what a was told you but they're not here? >> commissioner: there was an injury? >> they used an interpretation service and the interpretation service didn't get that information -- didn't put it out. >> commissioner: so they didn't know there was an injury. >> correct.

>> commissioner: what's going to be different next time we're busy and you take any units from a particular district and get a b, a robbery with a "b," injury/no injury. how will a lieutenant assist in this process if this occurs again? >> generally speaking, sergeants run the street. they supervise officers on patrol and they're duty to acknowledge the pending run. as part of that duty they should be triaging the run. a person like this should take priority over a non-injured or we didn't know at the time he was injured but a non-victim kind of b priority like maybe a traffic collision which is classified as a b priority. >> when they call in they say

there's a robbery. they didn't understand there was an injury. are they trained to ask if anyone was injured at the scene through the interpreter? >> that's d.e.m. and i'm told they are, yes. >> commissioner: you're told or you know? >> do i know. what happened was they used the service and later personnel reviewed the conversation between the service provider and the victim. the service did not reveal all the information the victim had told that person. >> commissioner: are we going to talk to the service to all information is given to the d.e.m. people. >> that was discussed in my meeting with d.e.m. >> commissioner: who will ensure

the interpretation services gets the memo and understanding the training we need for the department? who's in charge of making sure that happens? the initial call comes from d.e.m. and we're working together to remedy it. >> commissioner: but right now we know there's a problem between the interpretations services does not provide all the information to our dispatch. who's in charge of contacting them to let them know what we expect going forward? i hope they did. that's what i was hoping. we need to find out more information. there's something missing here. it didn't get transmitted and we've had this before in other situations. working closely with d.e.m. and the interpretation services to clear it up and do a better job in the future is -- it shouldn't

have taken four hours. >> commissioner: i'd like to follow-up with other question if the same thing happened today with the exact same circumstances and everything else was going on today, how would you expect it to be handled today? >> a b priority it take 11 minutes max. >> commissioner: i'm asking how it gets handled with this service. what would be the way to address this now that didn't happen back in january? >> it would be speculation but i would assume we would again prioritize the calls. they'd look into the cad call itself and see there's a little more to this robbery and dispatch a unit off maybe a 7a assignment. >> commissioner mazzucco.

>> how many unit did we have for ingleside that day. >> i don't have that number with me. i can get back to you. >> >> commissioner: maybe we need three units. >> there were multiple units working that day. >> commissioner: i want to follow-up if i may, this is an anomaly. this has never happened on the commission and i want to congratulate you for coming forward and saying we made a mistake and it's a an anomaly and i am concerned of taking a significant part of coverage out and making sure we're fully staff when we have an event like the march we had that had resources and i know there's a tug of war between overtime and moving people around. when people dial 9-1-1 they expect the police to show up. i think we should provide the

overtime if necessary. i want to thank you for being candid and the chief and everybody. it's greatly appreciated but i want to be clear, this is the first time this happened since being on the commission and upset about it but the reality is, we came forward and admit mistakes and make things better. we're not the once doing the translating. that's the dispatch which is not affiliated with the police department. we need to work with them better. thank you. >> chief. >> just to clarify something that maddux mentioned when the sergeants are tied up in days like this sergeants start handling run to try to clear the boards. what we're asking the lieutenant to do is step in the role and evaluate what the officers are doing and what calls are on and if need be, take them off a lower priority call and assign them to these b priority runs that may need an expedited response. that's what we're asking to do

for the lieutenant to step out of their role when they know there's a lot going on and it's a busy day. that's the difference and constantly evaluating the calls for service waiting against those the officers are currently on and yank them off the lower-priority calls. >> that was into the the case in january, is that right? >> it's something that's done but now we're pressing the lieutenant to play that role when we know we're busy. >> commissioner: one more clarification, the way i'm understanding what you say, there's a printout of what is determined of the a, b and c call but you're saying you're also asking the captains and lieutenants to dig deeper and not look at the one-liner but go knee cad to get more -- into the cad to get more of a description. is that across all locations?

>> all have been advised. >> how many lieutenants were at the station because typically there's more than one. >> there's one on duty per watch. i don't know if that was a case. i don't know what the staffing level and what the lieutenant was working that night. i don't have that detail. >> is the investigation concluded or ongoing? >> that's my queue. so i'm here to give you an update where we are with this investigation. as chief mentioned the incident happened january 19 and the investigative team had the case and was out looking for video. we often times as a matter of

fact, every weekday we have conversations on the phone at 11:00 with the investigators at the station and make determines whether a case stays at a station level or we take it at the bureau level. often at the bureau level we take other incident and we took this at robbery on the 23rd of february which would have been -- sorry, january, which would have been a few days after the incident occurred. once we took the case, we were out and had assistance from the personnel at ingle side station and looked for video in the area. we got video from businesses in the area and we put out a crime bulletin where we identified we

thought were two individuals that were the suspects and asked all officers to look at the bulletin to determine whether or not they could identify who the two individuals were. just a couple days later we then went to adult and juvenile prowe often work with and asked them whether or not they could identify who the individuals were because it appeared the individuals were younger age likely teenagers. we had assistance from a juvenile probation officer who identified one of the individuals. we were then able to follow-up and identify the second individual in the instance and confident based on the video and information we had obtained we had both individuals identified. we authored a search warrant february 3 and served it february 7th at a couple residences and arrested two

individuals. one is 16 and the second is 18 years old. both case now working their way through the judicial system in the city. >> i have one more question. when they did arrive, did they know there was a language issue or were there interpretive services. >> the officer that spoke the same language ended up -- >> did they have to wait and call? >> they had to wait a little bit longer. >> that's another thing. it's bad enough we didn't have a b call but when we send someone four hours later we didn't understand it needed interpretation services. >> correct. that was the first available unit. >> would that be remedied once they delve into the conversation with the d.e.m. will that be remedied too they know they need an interpreter

present or an officer to discuss that language? >> we did discuss that. >> >> how are we going to remedy that by opening it up and reading it and the lieutenant has to understand it's more serious and interpretive services was necessary. >> the cad did say there was a language barrier. >> commissioner: how long did the person have to wait? >> a nominal amount of time. minutes. >> commissioner: thanks. >> commissioner: next the protocol on responses during inclement weather. >> good evening, commander i'm

captain lazaro and have been asked to give an update on inclement weather and i'm here to talk about the healthy streets operation center and the collaborative effort. and the sfpd are all participating in working to get individuals off the street into shelter and working on encampment resolution and working with the individuals drug addicted. options for addressing illegal encampments and there's an e-mail to every police officer to reemphasize what we're doing in the importance of what our strategy is in term of getting into shelter whether officers

are assigned to a station or homeless effort, their goal is to go out and see an encampment whether it's wet weather and they're asked to make contact and they're adding extra shelter beds and placement because we've experienced a lot of rain this year and the wet weather protocol is in place. the officers go to an encampment. the first goal is to look at medical attention that needs to be provided to an individual. once they determine that medical attention may not be needed we lead with services. we're talking with individuals about have you had something to eat, do you know where to get a shower. are you interested in shelter. how can we help you, can we call the team out, etcetera. then we resort to a couple

different options. our first option is we'll say to an individual do you want shelter whether it's navigation center or any shelter available. and we'll cowl -- call back and they'll say i'm out on division and i'd like to know what's available and they'll say there's an nav center bed is available and take them to the nav center. the officer will say, okay i know you want to go to the center, i know it's raining. we're not going to enforce laws and if you want to go voluntarily we can help you pack up and they can take their tent with them and off to the nav center they go. that's first option. the second is if an individual during wet weather or not during

wet weather says they want to go to a shelter and one is not available which is rare these days we don't enforce laws because we can't provide a shelter we don't give a citation for illegal lodge. in the third instance if we say we have shelter for you and the individual says no, i'd rather not go, we'll issue a citation for illegal lodging and take the tent as evidence according to our protocol we'll still work hard to get teem -- people in services. i had a conversation with the officers and following protocol

and they're all volunteer officers for this assignment. i'm really proud of the work they're doing and want to get people connected with services and they've done their best to do that since we assigned them. that essential covers what we do during wet and non-wet times in our city. >> any questions from the commissioners? commissioner elias. >> commissioner: with respect to the illegal lodging how many arrests have been made with respect to that situation? >> i just looked at those statistics. so to put into perspective, city wide we handle 45 to 50 calls per day related to homelessness. we have a 3-1-1 call and several hundred of those every week. since november we've only issued 51 citations though we're going

45 or 50 calls a day and 51 citations since november and six arrests and the majority are for wanted individuals that have warrants for their arrest. taking them into custody, 95% of the time is because of a warrant not because of illegal lodging. >> when you do take them to custody you use the tent as evidence. that's booked. what happens to the rest of their belongings? >> the tent is taken as evidence but we have a bag and tag protocol and it talks about bagging and tagging and goes out to cesar chavez and stored for 30 days and then they can go and pick up the property. the other thing i'd like to add is if the district attorney

doesn't want to review the case the person can review their property from the locker storage and that's held separately so people can take advantage of that as well. >> commissioner: how do they know? >> the officers complain -- explain options and they ask if we're throwing it away and we tell them it's a bag and tag policy and this is the process. >> commissioner: how are they retrieving their belonging. usually when people go into custody they lose identifying markers they'd have to go to cesar chavez. >> it's our policy when we take property we issue a property receipt. we issued 61 citations an six arrests. under a slim circumstance a

person is arrested they've given a property receipt and that's kept in their property when in custody and when they're out they'll retrieve their receipt and they can go to cesar chavez and retrieve their property. i will say very few take advantage though we tell them how to do it. >> i'm sure many lose the property receipt. i've had clients evacuate -- having trouble getting their property back after being released. >> you said there were 51 citations since november. when they were issued, were there tents dismantled or taken from them. >> they're taken as evidence because in the agreement with the district attorney's office the tent is held as evidence if it goes to trail and that's evidence to the illegal lodging.

>> commissioner: they ordered you to take the tent? why can't you take a picture? >> they haven't ordered us to take the tents. as the agreement we've had on illegal lodging. that's the decision we've all come up with. >> commissioner: but you can have a picture of the tent rather than seizing their property. when you say we have come up with that, who's we? >> the department and district attorney's office who had a conversation about building a case and what it entails and what we need to do. >> commissioner: have you seen them haul a tent into a courtroom and use a tent to show illegal camping? >> i have not. >> commissioner: i didn't think so. why can't you have a conversation about taking a picture or is the goal to take it off the street? >> currently that's our policy and protocol and what we're doing.

>> commissioner: can you give me an idea since november how many tents have been taken? >> if we've issued a citation the officers know they have to retrieve the tent as evidence, bag and tag it and store it at public work. >> the individual has the opportunity to pick up the tent if the case is not charged. >> commissioner: have you the discussion with the district attorney and department of public works goes out because they bag and tag the tents? >> yes. public works does. >> commissioner: any other agencies work with you? >> a lot of agencies work with us in term of outreach. >> when do you the bag and tag and take their property and citations and arrests, how many agencies are with you? >> we'll have the hot -- h.o.t. team, the homeless outreach team and they have a better way of marketing the services

available. the h.o.t. team will come out. if we can, we get the h.o.t. to come out. >> commissioner: i'm assuming after 90 days you throw it away? >> that's public workers' policy. >> commissioner: do you throw it away after 90 days if it's pending? >> we have an inspector that monitors all the cases and he pays close attention to the evidence. won't get thrown away in 90 days if a case is continuing or if there's a trial pending. >> commissioner: what's the percentage of cases that the d.e.a. tries or are they all dismissed? >> in the early months my understanding is 40% of the cases were being charged. in light of new procedures i have a meeting scheduled with the district attorney's office

and in light of us adding new procedures we need to still have the conversation but i have a meeting on calendar with an assistant district attorney. >> commissioner: can you find out how many were dismissed? >> yes. >> commissioner: and how many tents have been thrown away. >> i don't have the number but i can find out. >> commissioner: thank you, commander. i ask commander lazaro remain at the podium. the next is on the internship and youth programs. we'll get provided information on the programs geared towards youth and the department's internship programs and the opportunities provide the city. >> this is my next presentation going on to a whole different topic the great work we're doing in our department and city partn

partners and engage city youth. it's thick but i'll go through it quickly so everyone's aware. in terms of our internship programs the department implement the summer intern program as part of the future grads 2012 and it was part of the initiative in an effort to support the mayor breed all initiative and to provide paid internship in the summer intern program and partner with several community-based organizations including mo magic thanks to director cheryl davis and the mission education program, boys and girls club, a local tech group, san francisco citizens initiative for technology and other city agencies. in terms of the program since 2012, 1,950 youth have been placed in paid internships through the community engagement

division. the four programs i want to share with you, first project poll is funded through the public utilities commission. students are mrifd -- placed within the department and they're paid internships to give our youth busy and teach them skills. future grads through the partnership and students are placed in various technology companies that work on specific projects and the youth career academy in partnership with the parents department and the d.a. and public defender and they learn about jobs and the justice system and in partnership with the mo magic students are placed in different positions throughout the police department. exciting stuff happens in the summer with our youth. the goal is provide students with hands off on training where they learn -- hands on training and team building. we have to keep the young people busy during the summer.

that's the summer youth jobs. then we have a paid part-time police ca dead program. we brought this bam a couple years ago and we have a paid program. there's been 125 cadets. currently we have 52 paid cadets in our department. 33 work in various units in the department and they'll graduate april 6 from the cadet acat my. our vision is to provide service for the city and develop young people as future leaders and the goal is to expose young adult to aspects of police work to prepare them for a law enforcement career and provide candidates. many end up joining our department as officers so it's a great way to do that. to participate in that, they have to have a high school diploma or g.e.d. and currently

enrolled in college with 12 units and maintain a 2.0gpa and have a driver's license and pass a background check. and another program is the san francisco police lead cadet program. a program within my division, the department supports the law enforcement cadets established in 1959. we have 40 cadets currently and we're in the process of applications which opened today for our cadet academy at the police academy. they go through that four weeks and intern at the police stations and attend a lot of events. you've probably seen the high school aged young people are our cadets an attend various events. and whether it's special olympics and toy drives and all

things we do. they meet every month three times a month on thursdays they engage in programs and learn a sense of civic responsibility and leadership and public speaking. we say to our young people you can which is a career in law enforcement or anything but we'll teach you skills to be successful. i'm here today because of that program. we try to transition from the cadet program to the paid program. the ability to participate in summer training they have to reside in san francisco and pass a background check and on the they're part of our extended family. we have a successful flag football program and a

successful jiu-jitsu program two nights a week mentored by officers. we brought our fishing program back. we have a cheerleading and football program that's been in the western addition many years called the seahawks and they're now called the 49ers and we have the wilderness program and this has been happening since 1980 and we have a full-time officer that participates in this. other things we start the this year we have a community academy for youth. our police learn about the academy. we have operation genesis. i thank officer jason johnson for this idea six years ago

providing opportunities for at-risk youth to learn strategy for advancement and combat generational poverty through global travel and academic and career counselling and community engagement and mentorship. since the inception, 150 students have been served in operation genesis. it's our sixth year and we head back to ghana, africa with a group of kids next month and we're excited about that program. we talk about future grads and we're expanding our participants and we're the police but we connect youth with all different types of vocational experiences.

we're adding stem and the department will continue to support project poll and the employment education program and the community safety initiative with the summer programs. in terms of outreach, we attend numerous youth fairs throughout the year trying to recruit kids for the program. we have the website the youth can go to if they're interested in a summer job. we asked district station captains to help us promote it. we have a program through the boys and girls club and cyc and west bay. our goal is to recruit as many as possible and we use our school resource officers to help with that. finally, for adults we offer an unpaid college internship program for people interested in law enforcement. maybe don't want to be a cadet but they go to college and they're interested. we do an orientation in june, august and february prip for --

february. they must be 18 and must be able to work 12 hours a week and in college and 2.8 gpa and we're launching our graduate summer program for older individual who's want to participate. we accept interns through several programs like the city summer intern program, the mayor's internship program and the fellows program. last two things is the other two volunteer programs is our team modelled after nert. we have 140 volunteers repaired to work with us in times of disaster. that's in my division and the reserve officer program where we have 30 reserve officers that are community people and have careers and they're doctors and pilots and do other things but they wear the uniform two days a

week and volunteer for us. we have an academy this year for training and putting ot a out a new recruitment for officers. i'll take any questions you have at this point. >> commissioner: thank you. commissioner brookter. >> i think you had every question and responded. thank you for that. since 2012, 1,059 youth have been placed. where are they where they are and how's that translate to the police department? if we're touching 1,050 young folks how's it relate to them being part of the department. that's more of a statement. and what are we doing in terms of promote how are we getting the word out? i hear we're doing things in july but how do folks know and how do they go and apply?

we share the programs taking place and alonda williams and director davis does a great job recruiting and i.c.a. has brought everybody in. officer johnson is out all the time talking with all the kids at the boys and girls club and everywhere he goes. i think there's other ways we can get the word out. >> commissioner: how do we go about selecting the mentors. that's imperative to have

individual understand how to correlate and respond and culture culturely -- culturally competent. >> for operation genesis, there's a whole board that makes selections and have you officer johnson and captain dangerfield. they're very selective to pick the right mentors to go to ghana. they make sure they're ready to travel so i know that take place. with the other programs it's all through my division and unit. in terms of different tech companies we work with the heads of those companies and make sure we have the right mentor set up to connect a person to shadow a

person during the summer and that sort of thing. my division and the officers assigned to me do all the screening and figure everything out a few hundred kids every year get plugged in and we have a successful summer. i'm more open to other strategies and ways. if have you ideas about selection of mentors. we'd love to meet with you and talk with you more about that. >> you mentioned a website. is that a dedicated website or part of the department's website? >> the department's website. i'll double check and verify. our department is going through a revamp and we'll have something dedicated to community engagement where all the things in the future will be listed. everything will be listed on the website. >> if a commissioner wanted to see that now where would we find it? >> let's check the police.org website and it should be under community engagement.

we i have to put everything on the sfpd website. >> commissioner: thank you. >> thank you, commander lazar i know have an update on chapter 96. >> the report issued several weeks ago. good evening. i'm here to report chapter 96 regarding the fourth quarter of 2018 and professional standards. good evening, president hirsch and mr. henderson and we'll talk about the process itself and the benefits of data collection. the highlights of the fourth quarter report and we'll look at

chronological comparisons and future reporting and the hallmark of the process our partnerships with our academic institutions. about the process. in 2016 the code 96a was established was passed by the board of supervisors and requires data related to forces, arrests and complaints and report quarterly by race, ethnicity, age and gender. the department is in compliance with this reporting requirement. in january 2018 to comply, the racial and identify profiling act of 2015, the department transitioned from a data collection process established by the 96a stops process to the stop-adapt collection system sdcs provided by the california state department of justice. all the demographic data being
