sister and have you by my side in our efforts here in the city. please say a few words and introduce yourself if you would like. [applause] >> thanks everyone. so it's great to be here. i want to introduce some of my command staff that's here. victor is here. [applause] >> deputy chief of administration, jose is here. [applause] >> and the guy really charge in the diaster, the assistant chief of homeland security. [applause] >> thank you so much. so the north bay fires of 2017 and 2018 caused unprecedented damage and significant loss of life as we're all well aware. in response to this tragedy,

they have instituted and been approved by the c.p.c. to move forward with the public safety power shutoff program where they made power transmission lines during certain climate conditions and weather conditions to decrease the ability of fires starting. as noted, the c.p.c. approved this adoption of the guidelines for this as a preventive measure against imminent and significant fire risk. san francisco is consider add tier 1, which is the lowest risk for fire, but the transmission lines run through the east bay hills and up the peninsula. those both are tier 2 and tier 3, which are higher risk areas. turning off either side

transmission lines, either south or east could lead to blackout conditions in san francisco. this loss of power outage could be 24 hours and potentially longer. d.m. and other agencies have been taking steps to manage for the consequences of these potential power outages. last week, we had over 120 participants from city departments that came together at bill graham, to really sit down and work through preparedness and coordination, looking at impacts of these. i'm going the turn this over now to our acting deputy director for emergency services and he will continue to talk to you a little bit about what we've been working on. >> thank you director carol. when we brought everyone together we had three primary objectives. we wanted to gather information on what the potential impact of

this may look like and we wanted to make sure we were sharing information among departments so they knew what the consequences might be and what steps they would need to talk and that third piece was form a future preparedness activity for what the city could do. what we're going to do is show you a quick video of what actually took place last thursday and ill -- i'll talk to you about some of our learnings and what some of the next steps are. >> we are here today, we have almost every city and county of san francisco department represented to prepare for the possibility of power shut downs, complete loss of electric power to san francisco, as a result of the public safety power shut off program. this program is intended to mitigate the affect of wildfires. san francisco is not so much at

risk of those fires, but due to the configuration of the electric grid should they do a transmission shut off on east bay or the peninsula, san francisco can be affected. we have all the major public safety departments, and the health department, and all our infrastructure departments, the p.u.c. and public safety, and our support departments. the power outage will affect everyone and our ability to perform city services, so it was important to have all the representatives from across city programs here today. >> we in d.p.h. are working very closely with the rest of the city to help people prepare. for us in d.p.h., we really want people to make a plan, and especially make a plan with the people they care about. it's time to reach out to your neighbors, to think about your best circle of people.

in a disaster, it's trust that saves live and that's why in d.p.h., we're working with all of our partners as fast as we can to put together a network to respond in a diaster. >> we're having really productive conversations around the table here today. i think one of the most fruitful results is our expanded understanding of the inner dependencies of different departments and infrastructures, for example, communications will be disrupted so how do we coordinate when we don't have our normal mode of communication, fuel, transportation, traffic lights will be out, it will be difficult to get around town. we have a lot of follow up after this meeting and lot more work to do, but this is a great first step for san francisco. [applause]

>> thank you to sfgov tv for helping us pull together that brief. for mary ellen, a lot of stuff is going to happen and we need to know more about it. some of the key takeaways is the significant impact to public safety and our health system. we're so dependent on power now. two of the big agencies that will be impacted, the routine forms of communication, these devices calling our public cell towers, on data systems, they're all going to be impacted. we also heard about challenges traveling. people don't respect that four way stop when the lights go out. it will be challenging to get around the city. we're also going to have other disruptions because of child care centers. they may not be able to function. having our own staff come to work, that will be a challenge. there will be some extended operational periods. we're not asking people to come in to work 8 hours, but we may

have to expand that. when we don't have power, one of the other things we will rely on is fuel. fuel for our vehicles and generators. mary ellen mentioned that we're not going to be the only ones facing this. if our power is out, other people's power is out as well. this will be a bay area concern and one we need to make sure we need to get ahead of. also, this is one of the learning elements. power outages will require a time for recovery. just because the lights and the power comes back on, it doesn't mean that everything will be fine. we need to make sure if there are individuals that may have been specifically impacted, we need to reach out to them. if there are data systems that are impacted by an automatic shutoff, then those are brought up properly. things won't go back to normal immediately. we looked at what's next, our people, processes we need to have and technology. for people in particular, it's working and making sure we're

extending out to our private sector partners, vendors, an contractors. what are their plans? how are we going to coordinate with c.b.o.s and other groups to make sure neighbors are helping neighbors and they're checking on one another during and after the event and cross train staff. if transportation isn't working, are there other staff members that may be able to provide some of the front line services, which goes along with departments identifying those essential business functions they have, what are the continuity of the plans they have. that's part of the process, identifying the plans, identifying functions that can be done remotely. maybe not all the bay area is out. can someone be at home use their personal devices and access systems and process things? also, should we need to, going back to paper forms. we heard there was a cyber attack in baltimore, they went back to paper form to process

things. on the technology and equipment side, we have a lot of fuel in the city, how do we get what's in the ground, out of the ground, looking at ways we can use that resource while we're getting additional sources brought in. also, talking to capital planning about why are some investments we can make now, perhaps for solar and storage, so we have some other back ups available and also integrating, if we need to, the replacement of electronics if things go down. those are some of the initial things we identified from this exercise, but this isn't the only workshop we're going to do. some of the follow up steps will be in the middle of july, we're going to meet with our private sector and c.b.o.s from what we heard from p.g. & e. and how we're going to work together. the frequency of these e.m.s.s may come up. something that director carol mentioned before, often these types of events doesn't happen

in isolation, but when it's hot or when there's an air quality event. we heard of all these things we're doing. if we have this unfortunate trifecta, this will put a lot of train -- strain on our resources. these are some of the steps we are taking to make sure that we as a city family can all work together. director. >> thank you, does anyone have any questions or comment? i want to thank everyone who participated. i believe it was a good use of time. i'm very cognisant of using all the city salaried people into the room and not wasting our time, but we do have some good follow-up and we will be meeting with our private sector partners in a couple weeks, and however, we have to be ready to flex at any time. we already had our first heat wave and pg & e did implement

their plan. we are affected if the conditions are closer to the peninsula on the east bay, which is why we have to be prepared for the trifecta effectiveness. so i want to thank everyone for coming together. one of the -- i'm trying to find a silver lining in all of this and one of them, i've been talking about this a lot and feeling like i'm bumming everyone out all the time, but one of the great things about this, and that we will accomplish over this summer is increased preparedness. the data shows when there is an actual event or a truly perceived threat that people take action. so, i think that the call to action for everybody in this room and anyone watching this is a call to action to do something, get your plan together, reach out to your neighbor, think through your mind what would happen if you did not have electric power for one, two, and three days, and

take some steps now if you are able to prepare yourself. this will be the most important thing that we can do. frankly, the conditions that we'll experience after an event like this are similar and would be worse after an earthquake, so if nothing else happens, my hope is carl the fog stays around all summer. we spend a lot of time getting ready and we're just that much further along when the rain comes again. so thank you. i want to open it up to public comment, if there is any on this item. okay, seeing none, oh, i'm sorry. please. >> sorry, can you use the microphone? >> thank you, my name is nick mccoy. so i just wanted to make sure you don't under state the value of the staff, the people that you work with, or the folks that have actually served as the support and done the research,

made the calls, put up with the late hours and also put up with people that don't have the same level of knowledge as you may have in your careers, or in your time that you spent on the subject, or you spent in the city. like none of the ideas, none of the theories would be worth anything without your structural help and processes to put that in place. so that's part of like the integration of what you're talking about in the interagency work. i think working with state partners as well, and other international organizations who may have some sort of the resources or the stake in seeing how we deal with our upcoming challenges or the things that we already face. i think that opens up new revenue streams as well. it also produces an opportunity for us to grow, i think scientifically, as well as just the hypothesis of what could happen. you guys, all of the

presentati presentations were sound and like, the information was great. i just wonder if like, the worse case scenario, what is it like if we don't succeed? what will those numbers look like? are we prepared to have that sort of conversation prior to, with the community at large. also dealing what is the heart of escape, if we have to vacate a particular part of the city or have to change our strategy in regards to whether or not we go up, down, out, and then like even the scale of like equipment that could possibly be used or need to be used. where would we store that? you know, that light production, i think there are entities out there that are interested in building cities for their own corporate purposes, so they can

build the perfect city. you guys already did that. for hundreds of years, like the work has already been put piece by piece in the place. anyway, thank you i just look forward to participating in the conversation. >> thank you. do we have any other public comments? okay, seeing none, we'll move on to number 7, the disaster council member round table. if anyone around the table have a diaster announcement. michael. >> sure, the san francisco interfaith council in collaboration with major faith institutions have been posting vigils following terrorist attacks on houses of worship. the mayor has been faithfully attending and offering comfort at each of those vigils and she said that people should feel safe when they go to worship. as a result of that, we're

responding and taking action. we assembled a steering committee consisting of the f.b.i., san francisco police department, the sheriff's office, the antidefamation lead, muslim community center, the san francisco human rights commission, the jewish federation, the department of emergency management, the department of public health, the archdiocese, and the san francisco foundation. it's an incredible group of folks and what we're looking to do in early september, we're going to have a workshop for congregation leaders to provide them with the resource us that they need to keep their houses of worship safe and in the event that something should happen locally here, we taken that initiative. >> thank you michael. that's so incredibly important

and thank you for your leadership on that. is there anyone else? yeah. >> about two weeks ago, i got notice from our chief medical examiner that he will be moving on to another county, so today is his last day in the office and as of today, we're going to start a national recruitment. in the interim, we'll have acting chief medical examiner be dr. amy hart and the assistant acting chief medical examiner erin moffett. we'll keep you updated. >> thank you. anyone else? any general public comment we haven't already heard? then we will adjourn the meeting, thank you all for being here.

san francisco, 911, what's the emergency? >> san francisco 911, police, fire and medical. >> the tenderloin. suspect with a six inch knife. >> he was trying to get into his car and was hit by a car. >> san francisco 911 what's the exact location of your emergency? >> welcome to the san francisco department of emergency management. my name is shannon bond and i'm the lead instructor for our dispatch add -- academy.

i want to tell you about what we do here. >> this is san francisco 911. do you need police, fire or medical? >> san francisco police, dispatcher 82, how can i help you? >> you're helping people in their -- what may be their most vulnerable moment ever in life. so be able to provide them immediate help right then and there, it's really rewarding. >> our agency is a very combined agency. we answer emergency and non-emergency calls and we also do dispatching for fire, for medical and we also do dispatching for police. >> we staff multiple call taking positions. as well as positions for police and fire dispatch. >> we have a priority 221. >> i wanted to become a dispatcher so i could help people. i really like people. i enjoy talking to people. this is a way that i thought that i could be involved with people every day. >> as a 911 dispatcher i am the

first first responder. even though i never go on seen -- scene i'm the first one answering the phone call to calm the victim down and give them instruction. the information allows us to coordinate a response. police officers, firefighters, ambulances or any other agency. it is a great feeling when everyone gets to go home safely at the end of the day knowing that you've also saved a citizen's life. >> our department operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. >> this is shift work. that means we work nights, weekends and holidays and can involve over time and sometimes that's mandatory. >> this is a high stress career so it's important to have a good balance between work and life. >> we have resources available like wellness and peer support groups. our dispatchers of the month are recognized for their outstanding performance and unique and ever

changing circumstances. >> i received an accommodation and then i received dispatcher of the month, which was really nice because i was just released from the phones. so for them to, you know, recognize me for that i appreciated it. i was surprised to even get it. at the end of the day i was just doing my job. >> a typical dispatch shift includes call taking and dispatching. it takes a large dedicated group of fifrst responders to make ths department run and in turn keep the city safe. >> when you work here you don't work alone, you work as part of a team. you may start off as initial phone call or contact but everyone around you participating in the whole process. >> i was born and raised in san francisco so it's really rewarding to me to be able to help the community and know that i have a part in -- you know, even if it's behind the scenes kind of helping the city flow and helping people out that live here. >> the training program begins with our seven-week academy

followed by on the job training. this means you're actually taking calls or dispatching responders. >> you can walk in with a high school diploma, you don't need to have a college degree. we will train you and we will teach you how to do this job. >> we just need you to come with an open mind that we can train you and make you a good dispatcher. >> if it's too dangerous to see and you think that you can get away and call us from somewhere safe. >> good. that's right. >> from the start of the academy to being released as a solo dispatcher can take nine months to a year. >> training is a little over a year and may change in time. the training is intense. very intense. >> what's the number one thing that kills people in this country? so we're going to assume that it's a heart attack, right? don't forget that. >> as a new hire we require you to be flexible. you will be required to work all

shifts that include midnights, some call graveyard, days and swings. >> you have to be willing to work at different times, work during the holidays, you have to work during the weekends, midnight, 6:00 in the morning, 3:00 in the afternoon. that's like the toughest part of this job. >> we need every person that's in here and when it comes down to it, we can come together and we make a really great team and do our best to keep the city flowing and safe. >> this is a big job and an honorable career. we appreciate your interest in joining our team. >> we hope you decide to join us here as the first first responders to the city and county of san francisco. for more information on the job and how to apply follow the links below.

>> hi, i'm corn field and welcome to doing building san francisco, we are doing a special series, called stay safe, how you can stay in your home safely and comfortable, and we know that an earthquake is coming and there are things that you can do to reduce the effects of the earthquake on your home. let's take a look at that. >> here at the spur urban center on mission street in san francisco talking about staying in your home after an earthquake. i have guests today, pat buscavich and his dog, harvey and david, and both structural engineers and we want to talk about things that you might do before an earthquake to your home to make it more likely that your home will be ha bitable after an earthquake, what should we do?

both structural and maybe even important non-structural things. >> you hear about how to prepare an earthquake kit and brace your book shelves and water tank and that is important. what you have to be careful is make sure that you are not going the easy things to make yourself feel better. if you have a bad structure, a bad building, then you need to be looking at that and everything that you do to keep your collectables in place is small and compared. if you have taken care of your structure, then there is a lot of stuff that you can do in your house that is non-structural and your chimney and water tank. >> let's talk about what the structural things might be. >> and he is exactly right. you don't want to make the deck chairs safe on the titanic, it is going down, you are going down, you have to make sure that your house is safe. there are basic things that you need to do including bracing the water heater, not just because of fire hazard but because of the water source and the damage, but basic things

are installing anchor bolts, and adding plywood and strapping your beams to column and posts to footings and foundations are really easy things to do and most contractors can do the building department is set up to approve this work, and these are things that every home owner should do, and it is a little harder because you have to get a building permit and hire a contractor. but you want to be able to after a big earthquake to climb in bed that night and pull the covers up and say i don't have to worry about going to a government shelter. >> that is the main focus that it is great to have an earthquake kit to be able to bug out for 72 hours. here is a better idea, stay in your own home and in order to do that you have to be make sure that your structure is okay. if you have a house, the easy things to do with the wood construction is feasible. if you have a renter or you live in a concrete building, you need to talk to the building own , and make sure

they have done their due diligence and find out what the deficiencies are. >> when i have looked at damaged buildings,vy seen that a little bit of investment in time and money and structural work provides great dividends. >> especially if it is the wood frame, typical house that you can do the things that i was talking about, the anchor and the plywood in the first garage area, you know if you refinanced in the last three years, get some of that savings and it is a really good investment. and the other thing that i try to tell people, earthquake insurance is not the solution to the shelter in place, if there is a big earthquake and your building is damaged, you are not in your house, you may be somewhere else, if you work in the city, it is going to be really hard to commute from sonoma, you want to do what is necessary so that your house is retrofitted and a couple of years of earthquake premium could get you to a level that you could be in the house after a significant earthquake and it

may have damage and there is still a shelter in place where you are at home and you are not worried for the government taking care of you and you are living in a place where you can go to work and you want to have your wood frame house is really easy to get to that level. on top of the wood frame house, i mean every wood frame house in the west half of the city have a water tank and the water tank fall over because they are gas fired and start fires. and that is something that you could do for yourself, and for your neighbors and for the whole city is make sure that your water tank is braced. >> if you look at the studies that are predicting on fires, we are going to have a lot of fires and for every water tank that is braced there is a potential of one less fire that the fire department is going to have to fight and we don't want to have any more fires than we need to. so bracing the water heater is the first thing that you want to do. >> and so easy, and you go on-line and you google, earthquake, water and heater and you google the sites where you can find the details and you can put them out there on the hardware store and you can

hire a small contract tore do that for you. that is a couple of hundred bucks, the best investment. if you are in other types of building it is complicated. if you are in a high-rise building you just can't anchor your building down because there are no anchor bolts, but at that point, the tenant should be asking questions of the owner's and the managers about earthquake preparedness >> and don't take the easy answer, oh, our building is safe it was designed to code. that is not the right answer, ask the tough questions and see if you can get a report that has been given to you. >> what is the right question? will i be able to stay in my home after the expected earthquake? is that a good question to ask? >> yeah, you may be more specific if you talk to the owner, if it is not a recent building, if it is ten or 20 years old see if they had an inspection done and there you will have a written before that will tell you all about the structure. >> thanks, pat. >> thanks, harvey. and thanks david for joining us and thank you for joining us on

chair has called the meeting to order. as a reminder please silence all electronic devices and stand for the pledge of allegiance. i pledge of allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> i'd like to call roll. >> commissioner: thank you. >> clerk: president hirsh. >> commissioner: here. >> clerk: vice president taylor. >> commissioner: here. >> clerk: commissioneral -- and

present is chief scott from the police department. >> thank you all. we're happy to be here at the park station, home of the park station. i thank staff and captain bailey for hosting us tonight. we don't have a long agenda so public comment will be three minutes each and we're ready for the first item. >> clerk: line item 1 a weekly report of trends and crimes and significants and a brief description of the significant incident. discussion will be limited to determining whether to calendar the incidence described for a future commission meeting. >> good evening, commissioners.

thank you for coming out to our community meeting tonight. i'll be very brief with my report. i know captain bailey is here to make a detailed report on what's going on. i'll give a brief overview what sergeant youngblood read from the significant events and general high-level overview of crimes in the city. very pleased with the crime results and i'll break it down to the overall crime and captain bailey will go into more detail and your district and where we are in overall crime. we have part 1 crime for those who aren't familiar are the serious crimes. we report our crimes based on the fdi uniform crime report and

part 1 crimes there's the following categories. homicide, rape, robbery assault are the following crimes and larceny. and burglary. overall we're 12% down in part 1 crime. park station is 16.8% down in part 1 crime and our violent crime our serious crimes, homicides, rapes, aggravated assault we're down and parks is 15%. in the area of homicides we have had 17 year to date compared to 20 this time last year and 15% down on homicides.

park station has had no homicides year to date so we're happy with that. overall gun violence we're down 21% over this time last year it. represents a change of about 15 gun related incident city wide year to date. our property crime we're down 12% and property crime includes burglary, motor vehicle theft, larceny including auto burg ris and arson. we continue to have a good year with motor vehicle break-ins as you all probably remember a couple years ago we were at an all-time high we traded down since 2017. we're 14% down year to date overall and 28% down from where we were in 2017. those are the highlights of the significant crime trends in the city. as far as significant events and incident in the past week, happy to report we have not had a

homicide in the past week however, we did have two shootings in the city. one was on broadway and columbus and two victims were shot and both expected to survive. the investigation is ongoing. no suspects in custody. the other was in bayview at middle point road at harris street. one individual was shot in that incident. he is in critical condition and that investigation is ongoing with no suspects in custody. i'll give a brief report on our traffic collision in the past week. we have a program called vision zero for the public. the goal is sto -- is to reduce traffic fatalities by year 2024. in doing so we focus on those

incident or violations and those traffic corridors where we have the most serious traffic injuries and deaths. it's an initiative going on several years now and we track our traffic collisions to put awareness to the public to put efforts in and what we're tracking. this past week we had three major collisions one was a hit-and-run vehicle versus pedestrian and the second one was a vehicle versus pedestrian at beach and columbus and the third was a vehicle versus scooter at geary and pole. one is vehicles versus pedestrians. we've asked our traffic company and traffic officers to focus on that. i have someone here in charge of

our field operations bureau and one thing commander fong does on a regular basis is make sure our control divisions are focussed on traffic enforcement including warnings and an education and it's an all-hands-on-deck to get our traffic collisions down to zero by 2024. significant challenge but we're committed to it and hope to realize vision zero in the next few years. that's my report for today. if you have any questions. >> any questions from the commissioners? don't see any. we're ready then for the next item. >> clerk: line item 1b, report on dpa activities and announcements. commission discussion will be

limited to determine issues raised for a future commission meeting. >> good evening, director henderson. >> we're at 345 for the agency open cases so far this year. this time last year we were at 288 in we have open 339cations and last we were at 291. we sustained 36 cases versus 13

sustained at this time last year. we still have 29 cases past the 270-day mark. that's just my nine-month measure but i track watching a year. of the 29 cases, 18 are restrictions in civil or criminal courts that allow the time to be told. we're 18 cases have been mediated versus 7 we had this time last year and have been involved in a couple different outreach events. in june we did a know your rights initiative with the youth at the village in visitation valley and also in june we did outreach with the mayor's office

in the fillmore district. we participated in the c.i.t. awards and i'm sure you'll hear more about it and presume the commissioners will talk about it and we don't have cases in the closed session and my chief of staff is here as well as my senior investigator is here. and that's about it. i've been busy most of the past few weeks have been almost 24 hours working on budget stuff and the final hearings are this week so that will be what i'm spending a lot of my time on. that concludes my report. >> commissioner: any questions for the director? okay. next item. thank you. >> clerk: line item c commission

report limited to a brief description of activities and announcements an discussion will be limited to determine whether to bring issues raised for a future commission meeting and commissioner's report and status of assigned projects. >> the one item i have to report on is the following. i've asked the commission staff to work with the chief staff and set up a working group in the wake of the jeff adachi death so we have a working group to address criminal investigations which involve members of the preparation -- press and i've asked commissioner dejesus and commissioner taylor to work with that group and we'll get it running as soon as possible. >> >> any commissioners have any reports? >> briefly. i wanted to report i got the

opportunity to represent the commission last week at the ocit awards and big thank you to commander fong for inviting me out and allowing me to be part of that day. just hearing some stories of the tactics and strategies officers are using around de-escalations with individuals with mental health was amazing and was a great feeling and great to be a part of. this past saturday i was involved with our first father's day field day alongside chief moser and it was another great opportunity to engage community. there was a lot of fathers there with their children. we got the opportunity to attend their giants game and looking forward to what's continuing to do that as we develop relationships with community members. >> thank you. any other reports from commissioners? okay. next item. >> clerk: as a reminder, there is no police commission on july 3.

officers and four psas, three civilians. a breakdown of the staffing, we have 22 supervisors and 18% of which are -- we have 5% black, we have 18% asian, 9% hispanic and 68% white. the breakdown of genders 68% female and officers we have 65 officers, 14% black and 64% white and 16% hispanic and 6% asian. and then male to female within the officer rank is 54% male and 10% female. our crime trends and strategies

we highlight the community communicated with me quickly and what we do on a daily basis is crime prevention. i believe that's the solution and it really is the way of the future preventing crime opposed to committing the crime and solving the crime. we've approached this in a number of ways. one is an educational outreach approach. i attend many meetings and community group asks me i'm there and i spend a lot of my time talking about how we can prevent crimes. we also my officers are on a weekly daily basis educating the general public, handing out

flyers in an effort to educate to prevent being a victim of a crime. last year we noticed we had seen an uptick in burglaries specifically around construction sites. we developed an outreach program. we created a flyer that was directed at construction sites and my officers when they passed a construction site or see those sites hand the tip out and safe has been a great collaborator and amazing assistance to us in community meeting and in general. so not only did we do that we also created a program whereby anybody who's a victim in our district of our burglary we have

an officer meet with that individual. and the idea is to go through their home and make suggestions on how just assessing their home to make sure it's safe. and we the recommendation for safe to respond out to tell them they have the option of having safe come out and assess and give them suggestions in how to stay safe. it's really -- i think when people ray victim of a -- are a victim of a burglary we want them to regain their confidence in their own home. in addition we do an environment assessment around every home. so if we see like bad lighting or think shrubs need to be cut back my officer who happens to come out makes the assessment and contacts dpw or whatever city agency is responsible for that particular thing. again, it's about trying to make

you're community feel safer and be more engaged in what we're doing. i think it's also helpful because they then see we actually do care and are doing our job. i think that's been a great program my officers have been diligent in following through on. in addition we do the education portion in the news station letter and on social media. we also have the strategy of approaching it from a police standpoint which is the high visibility. having our foot beats out there and we encourage officers to get out at the hot spots and get out on foot so they are highly visible. and of course all the officers know when i say hot spots, spots where particular crimes may be happening or have general members of the public may have their concerns for certain

individuals or locations. that is put on the radar for officers and they do passing calls there. again, it's about the high visibility because visibility is a way of making people seem safer as well as definitely reduces crime. we also have folks in twin peaks which is a good deterrent which is difficult to maintain but we do our best and when officers are up there they're handing out flyers and educating the public and trying to do traffic stops and trying to be very visible. that brings us to the next is the reduction in crime. when you look at the numbers i think we've done a pretty good job at maintaining our reduction. we have definitely operations every day, every week, every month. they focus on areas that have

been brought to our attention. haight street is one of our hot spots. we do a number of buy busts down there. probably two a month. we also do operations which is arresting anybody who's got an outstanding warrant. that goes district wide. we do vehicle theft abatement. that's usually theft from vehicles typically happens in twin peaks on golden gate start and haight street. all the tourist attraction areas. they definitely attract thefts and often it's the tourists which are the victim which is

difficult to reach out and it's hard when they're not from the city. in addition to that we go down haight street several times a day. a combination of outreach and enforcement. we do outreach to anybody homeless and my outreach officers are extremely compassionate and knowledgeable in all the services the city provides and reach out to every individual on haight street that happens to be homeless but we also have a zero tolerance for criminal activity. i think that zero tolerance and the outreach is paying off right now. it could change but we're seeing a significant change on haight stre street. together with the fact that i mentioned to one of the people

in the community that towards the end of april we actually made about 30 felony arrested on haight street. we had over 10 arrests for drugs and the other were where we had felony assaults where one individual was attacked and a person intervened and it was a felony attack and all five were arrested and we sought stay away orders for them and another individual who was a victim was aggressively pan handled and turned around and told the guy to stop and five attacked him and we were able to get stay away orders for all of them along with the drug dealers. i think having the reduction of that number of people on the street has had a significant impact on what's happening on the street. this time last year we received many complaints from our

concerned community saying they didn't feel safe walking down the street between dogs and people and so we have done dog operations where we basically we're educating the owners of all the dogs on how to be on the vote and make sure they have their licenses, etcetera and i think all of those operations and plans are having the desired effect right now. moving on to the quality of life issue. we have a lot of homeless individuals. we have golden gate start and the panhandle and haight street and then over towards the market we have the hot spots for those issues but i have four extremely dedicate and quality of life

officers and they make a difference every day that go out on the street. so much so that as a mentioned, i think we have 69% -- 69 of our officers trained in crisis intervention and two liaison officers. and the two liaison officers were identified our top 15 people of concern to us when it comes to mental health issues. i am very happy to say within the last eight months we've been able to get two housed and three united with family members which was an absolutely great accomplishment by the c.i.t. officers but it was in conjunction with all the other officers. we identified the 15 so every officer knew the issues around each individual and knew to take appropriatect
