>> my son and i was living in my car. we was in and out of shelters in san francisco for almost about 3.5 years. i would take my son to school. we would use a public rest room just for him to brush his teeth and do a quick little wipe-off so it seemed he could take a shower every day. it was a very stressful time that i wish for no one. my name is mario, and i have

lived in san francisco for almost 42 years. born here in hayes valley. i applied for the san francisco affordable housing lottery three times. my son and i were having to have a great -- happened to have a great lottery number because of the neighborhood preference. i moved into my home in 2014. the neighborhood preference goal was what really allowed me to stay in san francisco. my favorite thing is the view. on a clear day, i'm able to see city hall, and on a really clear day, i can see salesforce tower. we just have a wonderful neighborhood that we enjoy living in. being back in the neighborhood that i grew up in, it's a

wonderful, wonderful experience. now, we can hopefully reach our goals, not only single mothers, but single fathers, as well, who are living that. live your dream, live your life,

>> the renovation of balboa park, the oldest in the city of san francisco, and now it is the newest part in the city of san francisco. through our partnership, and because of public investment from the two thousand eight fund, we are celebrating a renewal and an awakening of this

park. we have it safer, happier, more joyous. >> 3, 2, 1, [laughter] =--[applause] >> it is a great resource for families, to have fun in the city, recreation. >> this is an amazing park. we have not revitalized it without public and private investment. the critical piece of the process of this renovation was that it was all about the community. we reached out to everyone in this community. we love this park dearly and they all had thoughts and ideas and they wanted to bring their own creativity and their personality to bear on the design. what you see is what the

community wanted. these ideas all came from the residents of this community. as a result, there is a sense of ownership, pride and responsibility that goes along with what is going to be an exciting park.

i will start off the report this week with the crime trends and talk about significant incidents that are happening over the past weekend since the last commission meeting. starting off with the general crime trends, our overall part one crimes are down 12% from this time last year. our total viable crime is down 15%. we had a homicide overnight, early this morning, so that puts us at 23 for the year. we were at 23 the same time last year. we have lost some ground on homicide. during the past week, we have had three homicides and i will go into a little bit more detail on those. looking at gun violence, we are down 19% over 2018 and our total property crime, we are down 11% over this time last year. auto burglaries are still down at 13% compared to 2018. in terms of other property crime

, burglaries are down 17%. we are up 1% in motor vehicle theft and overall, larceny is down 12%. as i stated, we had a busy week and a bad week in terms of homicides. we had three in the past week. i will go briefly over a synopsis of these ones. there was one on july 6th at 3:30 a.m., approximately 330 in the morning. -- i'm sorry, july 7th. a little after midnight. we had a homicide in the southern district. the victim and a witness left a nightclub in the area, walked to their perk -- parked car, and they were approached by a gunman , actually, 12 to individuals. one which had a gun who demanded their wallets. we believe this was an attempt to rob the victim.

our witness ran away from the seen and heard three gunshots. the vehicle sped past him, and at that time, he noticed that our homicide victim was lying in the street. our victim was pronounced deceased at the scene. we do not have the suspect in custody on that particular case and we need to the public's help on that one. again, this was at -- right after midnight. forty-five minutes after midnight. it was at the scene of a nightclub. there were witnesses and we believe -- that we believe were present. if anybody knows anything, please call in to our tip line. our second homicide of the week was all around the 8th of july , right after midnight. this is at the 3200 block of mission and 24th street.

twenty-fourth and mission. our officers responded to a spot shutter activation. when they arrived, they saw a vehicle that they believed to be involved and they followed it. at the same time, witnesses in the area called for reports that a person was down at the location down in the street. the officers followed the vehicle and the passenger of the vehicle fired one round from the vehicle at an unknown car. the officer then lost sight of the vehicle right off of the freeway. the victim, a juvenile male, was found deceased at the scene. we did not locate any other victims from the second shooting from the vehicle.

this was earlier this morning just around midnight. two victims were located at the location with gunshots. we don't know at this time what the motive is for the shooting. one of the victims succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene. the other victim was transported to san francisco general with gunshot wounds. we don't have the motive, as i stated, so there's a lot of investigation that we have to do on this one. this is a pretty fresh case because it happened earlier this morning. again, if there were any other witnesses that have information that would help us solve this case and get to the bottom of it , please call us on that. the location was yosemite and jennings in the bayview district

additionally, we had two other shooting cases this past week. one was a spot shot or activation. we had a victim who was with a group of friends. they ended up in the candlestick park area. they believe they were followed by a second vehicle that contained our suspects. the victim fell asleep and awoke with a group of guys attacking the group that he was with. the victim saw one of the males and had a gun, and tried to run. he was shot as he tried to enter the vehicle from the location. that victim is expected to survive, and there are no life-threatening injuries there. the suspect in this shooting is still out there as well. the last shooting was at the 300 block of high street in street in the tenderloin. our victim self transported, or

was transported by a private individual to the hospital with gunshot wounds to his arm. our officers located a vehicle and observed what appeared to be gunshots into his vehicle out of the rear window. that investigation is also still ongoing. we do have some leads on that one, but again, if anybody has any information regarding this shooting, please call us. this occurred on july 5th at a proximally 10:00 a.m. in the morning. for major events, we have the biggest event this week that is the sin con convention. we expect approximately 80,000 in attendance and that will be tuesday, july 8th. no issues expected. we will be deployed to address the crowds there, but again, no

issues anticipated for that event. in terms of significant events, i wanted to talk a little bit about our participation in pride the pride parade. it was very well attended. i know many of you attended. there was a protest there that got a significant amount of coverage from the news media. i will read our statement on that and make a few comments on that. at approximately 11:00 a.m., a group of protesters blocked the san francisco plight -- pride parade at market street near sixth street. the protesters broke down barricades and through water bottles that officers as they rushed onto the parade route. san francisco police officers attempted to contact the protesters at least once and we actively fought with -- they actively throughout -- fought with officers. our officers took two people into custody during that incident. a. 21-year-old individual from

oakland who was arrested and charged with battery of a police officer and resisting arrest and interfering with the parade route. there's also a 27-year-old male was arrested and charged with resisting arrest and interfering with the parade route. prior to that, organizers made contact with the protesters, many of whom were sitting in the roadway and blocking the parade route and were peaceful. a proximally 12:00 p.m., the protesters agreed to leave the streets and reopen the parade route. there were some complaints filed in this incident. the department of police accountability has several, if i'm not mistaken, investigations that they will be investigating on this case. officers were able to locate the body worn camera footage and there is over 40 in total. there's a lot of evidence to

review in this case and this investigation -- as this investigation unfolds, we will be in contact with d.p.a. to give them what they need to investigate this case. that concludes the chief's report. >> okay. vice president taylor? >> hi, chief. i have a couple of questions for you. one, you beheld full to know if the 23 homicides, just to give us some sense of how many of these homicides have cases pending, how many have resulted in convictions, where are we? we are at 23 now and we are roughly mid july. it be nice to have a sense of where we are on those. the second question, i know i have asked you before, sex trafficking. for a while you were updating the commission with those stats, and as i understand it, they are somewhat difficult to tally or calculate but it would be nice to know, you know, at some point , i want to have that conversation because it is a problem and it is something that i think a solution should be kept up-to-date on.

>> yes, ma'am. with the homicide, it is the -- if the commission is okay with this at our next meeting, i can give a detailed report on the clearance rate for the year and our clearance rate for last year prior to the three over the past week, we actually were somewhere around 80%. i know the deputy chief is here. we were actually doing really well. hopefully we will follow these three as well, but we have had some really good fortune with our clearance rate. a lot of community support, and we hope that these three we will be able to solve. again, when he the public's help i will have a more detailed report for the clearance rates at the next police commission hearing. >> i am glad you brought up the pride parade and a demonstration there are pictures -- there is pictures of officers with time

-- some type of weapon, but people were saying they are pointing it at the demonstrators and people in the parade and i just don't know what that depicts. i thought i would share that with you. >> that is a sudden range impact webbing that the officer has. >> that is the beanbag type of gun? >> yes. i don't know the context but it definitely looks like it was at the parade and the officers look like they are taking somebody in custody behind the officers. if i could just say this, the situation, strictly for their spontaneous protests with that many people, well one of the things on public safety perspective is we don't really know what we have one somebody, you know, reaches barricades and whether they will protest, block of parade, and we don't know how me people are involved. it is a situation where we had to take public safety perspective very seriously.

there is a lot of people there just trying to enjoy the day and the officers have a responsibility to take action. i'm not saying that anybody here is saying we didn't have responsibility to do that, but it is a very volatile situation that can go down very quickly. when you have that many people involved, the last thing we want to do is create a situation where it gets worse by the way we handle it. but we had to get, number 1, a sense of what we had their whether this was just a protest, a people's protest, or whether it was something worse than that in this particular case, i think the parade was delayed at least an hour. from the other side of managing the crowd and the situation, people were starting to get a little restless with the delay in the parade. we had to keep the crowd

peaceful and make sure that the situations don't turn violent. in this situation, there were water bottles thrown at the officers, although the majority of the folks that were protesting were very peaceful, there were some people who were not in terms of their actions. >> i thank you misunderstand. a lot of people, the average person, people with children there and stuff, they don't know what that gun is. to them it looks like an ak-47 being pointed at the people. they were alarmed. i got calls about guns being pointed at people. i think it is something to make a statement about, that they didn't have any guns and this is a particular part of weapon -- type of weapon. if you don't inform the public, people are really alarmed. they thought they were pointing it at the crowd. >> yes, ma'am. that is a beanbag. no guns, beanbag or otherwise were pointed at the crowd. those officers were called, and the reason i went into that long explanation is those officers were called at the onset. we really didn't know what we had. we knew that people reach --

breached the barricades, but we didn't know how many initially. we took precautions to make sure that everybody was safe. the officer holding the weapon had it pointed towards the ground but there was no use for it in terms of extended range or impact weapons, or any other weapons that were pointed at any individuals. >> it is important to make it available to the public so they don't think there are ak-47 weapons pointed out people at people. >> thank you for that clarification. >> thank you. next item please. >> next item is a presentation of the department of collection and analysis of sexual assault kit evidence and reporting of results to sexual assault victims reports. >> good evening, commissioners,

chief and director henderson. i am the deputy chief of the police department's investigation's bureau. i'm here tonight. i brought with me a captain from the special victim's unit and director john sanchez from the forensic services division. we are here to give you the semiannual report that you get every six months in relations to the collection and submission in testing of the sexual assault examination kits. you should all have in front of you the information that we have provided to you. i will go over it briefly and then we i will be happy to answer any questions. this is for the period of january first through june 30th of 2019. during that time, there were 165 , 161 kits that were collected and submitted to the crime lab within five days of the incident occurring. they were four additional which

would make it a total of 165, that were submitted to the crime lab but were not submitted in the last five days. those were submitted from collections from outside jurisdictions. those were sexual assaults that occur in other jurisdictions, and once it arrives at our property control division, it is then transported to his -- to the clock -- crime lab for testing. this next line, line three on the report talks about the number of sexual assault kids processed by the crime lab within 120 day period. that is what is mandated by law. that number is different then the 165. that shows 174. what that means is they were sexual assault determination kids that arrived at the crime lab in the prior waiting period late in december of 2018. those were tested during that period. there is an additional nine that were tested during that time that were counted as the last

waiting period, but were tested during that time. the average time for the sexual assaults kits completion is 38 days. as you know, it is mandated that they be completed in 120 days. during the last waiting period, the average was 45 days. we have repeated that -- improved that by one week. we are happy about that. we did not outsource any sexual assault kids to any other agencies and looking at the number of sexual assault kids that were obtained in some d.n.a. profiles, the number that had a foreign d.n.a. profile that was entered in codes within 120 days was 84. the foreign d.n.a. codes, naturally there were 30 of them. in a and apollo foreign d.n.a. profiles with no code match was 54. the number of sexual assault not

resulting in a foreign d.n.a. profile was 90. when you look at the last three numbers, 68, six b., and seven, that total is the 174. when you look at the outcomes and notifications, and this is part of the reporting that we gave to you, of the 165 cases, that is lines eight, nine, ten, and 11, 107 of them, the number of victims, there were 107. there were a number of survivors that refuse notification that we had information prior to. that was 34. the number of attempted notifications where we were unable to notify the survivor was five and the number of outsized -- outside agency cases totalled 19. moving on to the second page, and this is the results of the cases during the six-month period, of the 165 total cases,

that would be lines 13, 14, and 15 combined, there were 86 that became inactive. forty-seven that were cleared or closed, and 32 that remain open. when the last two numbers are, of those cases, the number that were charged by the d.a. and the number that the district attorney discharged and that was a total of 20. with that, i am more than happy to answer any questions that you might have. >> could you go through the definitions to start with with inactive cases and clear cases? so the public knows what those mean. >> inactive cases, there's a couple of components to it. the first is that there's a result when there is an unknown suspect or no d.n.a. uploaded for later identification, so there is no evidence that helps us in the case. another reason that a case of the inactivated is there as an unknown suspect or d.n.a. uploaded that has not yet been identified. that case will remain inactive

until it becomes identified and then it will become an active case. that case could stay active if there is other information pending. the victims can become uncooperative or refuse any other further contact after the sexual assault evidence is collected at a rape treatment center. the last reason for an inactive reason would be for the known suspect and victim where cooperative and the suspect through the sex was consensual and there is no other corroborating evidence to show that there was sexual assault. and then when it comes to cleared cases, sometimes there's four ways in which we make the case is clear. the first is that they are adjudicated, you can make an arrest in those instances. sometimes there is an outside jurisdiction investigation, so it is completed at san francisco general hospital where the crime occurred in the city, but is an outside jurisdiction that investigates it. a victim terminates investigation and signs and agreements that they no longer want an investigation to occur, and the statute of limitations

reached a case that it was formerly closed up. i think the other thing to add is there has been discussions in the past about backlog of sexual assault. as the commission knows, back in 2014 and 2015 the department had all of our backlog sexual assault dating back to the 1990 s tested completely. that was completed in early 2015 and we have not had a backlog of any sexual assault cases since then. there are no backlogs in the cases that do come in. for example, in this period, all of them tested with an average turnaround time of about 38 days >> thank you. vice president taylor? >> of the 47 cleared cases, is that right that only 20 of those are presented to the d.a.'s office to prosecution or am i misreading this? >> i will have
