president, commissioners, director. my name is daryl fung, commander of the department's community engagement division. at the commission meeting on september 11, we presented an overview of the department's participation in a 2019 summer intern youth program. at the conclusion of that presentation, the commission requested the department submit follow-up presentation following metrics which is contained in the report contained in front of you today. regarding the summer youth intern program in summary, over 2180 youth have participated in the s.f. p.d. sponsored projects including future grads, project poll, youth works, and a youth career academy. the largest group presented was african-american with 55% of the participants, followed by asian youth with 18% followed by

latin-ex. currently the department does not have a system implementation in place to follow up with interns after the program. however, it was determined that the community engagement division will work with the recruitment unit to develop a process in which a career in law enforcement presentation will be provided to summer interns as a component of their program participation in the future. this presentation is currently done for the paid part-time police cadets as a means to encourage and nurture those interested in a career in law enforcement to pursue a career with the san francisco police department. furthermore, the community engagement division will provide the list of participants from the 2019 summer program to the recruitment unit to conduct outreach to these young adults to gauge their interest in future career in law

enforcement. now, in regards to the paid police cadet program, there have been 146 paid cadets hired since the program was reintroduced in 2015. there are currently 43 cadets on staff with funding available for an additional 23 positions. now, while we do not have statistics on whether or not any of these paid cadets have participated in summer intern programs, we do know that at least 15 were graduates of the san francisco pal summer cadets academy. of the 146 cadets, 30 have been hired as police officer recruits with our department, with eight currently in the basic academy. we also currently have 15 paid cadets going through the hiring process at this time. in addition, there have been an additional 15 cadets who have accepted positions with other law enforcement agencies throughout the region.

that concludes my report and update regarding our youth intern programs. >> thank you. any questions from commissioners? i don't see any, so thank you. >> great. thank you, commissioners. now it's my pleasure to introduce retired captain rick bruce, long-standing board member, to present an overview of the s.f.p.l. cadet program. >> good evening. >> thank you. good evening president and members of the police commission, chief scott. it's our honor to be here tonight. we wanted to give you a brief overview of the p.a.l. i've been involved with the p.a.l. for 25 years and we've been a bit remiss because we haven't made a presentation during that 25-year period. we celebrated our 60-anniversary. chief scott has been a tremendous supporter of the p.a.l. and that's one of the reasons we're here tonight, just to express our support for chief

scott and everything he's done for this program. in terms of why we're around and how p.a.l.s came into being. it's 105 years ago in 1914 in new york city, a police commissioner named arthur woods looking at these millions of children streaming in and there were no playgrounds. so he directed his police officers to go and find vacant lots. he did that and he would station a police officer at a vacant lot and the kids were free to go and play. they ran out of vacant lots. so they started what they called the play streets program. what he did was cordoned off blocks in man hat tan. he would barricade off a street. that program grew into the new york police athletic league at that time, eventually the

athletics league. they had a famous guy on their board of directors, babe ruth. that program spread around the east coast. in 1954 there was an officer named joe martin. he was working in the louisville, kentucky, department. he was approached by a 12-year-old boy who told him that his bike had been stolen and he wanted to go out and get the bullies. officer martin told him he wouldn't do that, but he would teach him how to box if he came down to the gym. the boy came down and between 1950 and 1960 he won golden gloves championships. he went to rome and he was a light heavyweight. there was this old cop from the louisville police department, martin.

those two remained friends until his passing. that's kind of the background in terms of why p.a.l.s are aren't and the type of mentorship that can take place. in 1959, a group of san francisco police officers got together. they literally went to the police credit union. they took out a small loan of a few thousand dollars. they started what they called the police athletic league at that time, so 60 years ago. if you were a kid growing up in 1960s san francisco and you had any athletic ability at all, you were a p.a.l. kid. all the great athletes participated in p.a.l. programming. we didn't have the type of programming we have across north america. so the p.a.l. filled a void in san francisco. it became co-educational in the 1970s and expanded to a lot of different types of programming,

hence the change from police athletic league to police activities league. in those ensuing 60 years, our program has produced some incredible san franciscans, including two chiefs of police. chief heather fong was a p.a.l. cadet. we've got a couple of cadets with us tonight. if you go back with those of you who are sports fans, just a few years ago, when the 9-ers were still a candlestick, there was a year where jason hill and donald strikland were on the field at the same time. they came out of our program. that's a broad-brush stroke to what the p.a.l. has done. our commission has been keep kids off the streets and on the fields. we were a large umbrella organization when i got involved in the early 1990s, where we had, for example, 3,000 soccer ki

kids. but we didn't have a huge level of involvement for police officers. we made a decision at our board of directors that every p.a.l. program was going to have a really large stake of police officers involved. we've done that since that time. our current programs, i'll go through them for you very briefly, we still have our football program, it's out there at kimbell playground. they're on the field as we speak. chief scott decided to literally dedicate police officers to that program. they are on the ground. they are on the field. i've been familiar with that program since the 1970s and this is the first time since then that we have police officers coaching those kids. one of those police officers is here with us. we have a jew -- jujitsu

program. one of the officers is on the mat every night. when the kids go out there, they're with a police officer. just like when the kids go to football, they're with a police officer. we have a program called the kids games. it's a track and field event we hold. we get hundreds of kids out there. we have a high school marching band, and they march down with an opening ceremony. they compete. we've got a medal stand out there. the kids get ribbons and medals. there's san franciscan kids out there who have an opportunity to have a medal from the police chief. our cadet program has already produced one police chief. we've got the deputy cheer here. he was a cadet in our program. he's kind of a shining example of what our cadet program can produce. we have got a -- we still call

it a fishing program. fishing program goes back to the 1960s. there was a famous san francisco police officer, herb lee. you may remember him. he passed 'a few years ago. he had a fishing boat and in the 1960s he decided he was going to take san francisco kids out on the bay. a lot of kids have not only not been on the bay, they hadn't seen the bay. this was an unbelievable opportunity for san francisco kids. we brought that program back and we call it a fishing program. it's really a whale-watching program now. i've gone out on the boat with these kids. they have a wonderful time out there. for a lot of these kids, you've got to remember, we have kids from all across san francisco, they've never been out on the bay. to go out on the bay is one thing. to do it with police officers and make those contacts with police officers is really something they can't experience any place else. what i'd like to do is introduce

a few people. these people are kind of the backbone of our sergeant darmani. you can just wave. he's the officer in charge. he runs our program and does a phenomenal job. he runs the day-to-day operation and he's nails. officer mike costello is here. he runs the cadet program. this is a political ploy, but i'm going to do it anyway. this is an actual p.a.l. kid, jujitsu, two years, he's very tough. his bad tells me he throws him all over the house. this program, the jujitsu program runs out of a police facility. we have police officers there. it's a program now that has a long, long waiting list.

officer leonard morel is out on the field with our football kids three nights a week. he's out there game time. this is the third season thanks to chief scott. the mentorship, i'm out there on the field with these guys. to watch them interact with the police officers is heart-warming. these children who have these contacts and are developing these contacts at very young ages, they're never going to forget this. when you talk to people in the filmore they talk about the generations going back playing in this program. they remember kelly waterfield from the 1970s. they remember police coaches they had from way back in the day. sabine modrano is our civilian in the office. sergeant ray padmore does unbelievable things with our cad cadets. i'd also like to acknowledge

that we have some command staff people here in addition to chief scott who literally serve on our board of directors. we've got deputy chief ann manox is here. we were deputy police officers 100 years ago. deputy chief david lazar on our board. again, he was a cadet. we've got commander poreia on our board. we have assistant chief moser who was on our board. let me see, did barts -- no, we're missing one of our kids. they got tied up on bart. i'd also like to call up a couple of our cadets. come on up here. we've got aaron hemenes here. this program produced a chief of police. we've had -- we do a summer cadet academy where the kids get to go through a police academy. many of the kids who have gone

through this program are now serving as active san francisco police officers. so the program has produced a lot of police officers, but beyond that we call it a leadership program because it's produced a lot of kids who've gone on to college and do things in san francisco and serve their communities in other ways. who am i forgetting? captain falby is here also. he's another member of our board. any questions? i'm happy to entertain any questions about the p.a.l. i know i gave you a lot of information there. that's a thumbnail sketch of what the p.a.l. is and what we've been doing for the past 60 years. >> i want to thank you for the work you do. i grew up in new york city in the 1950s and 1960s and i was a p.a.l. athlete and it was a great part of my life. i thank you.

vice president taylor. >> i want to thank you as well, especially for the young people who are here. thank you so much for volunteering your time and being wonderful stewards of this city and great representations of folks in our generation. i wanted to ask you about the program and thank everyone who's here and involved in this. i think it's fantastic. i'm always concerned in programs involving children, and this is not specific to p.a.l. involving children. it's always important in any program that our children are safe, for better or worse. sometimes programs can be attractive for predators and for people who would harm our kids. i just want to make sure that p.a.l. has the right training and the right oversight and the right monitorship. if you know, if you could talk a little bit about that. >> yes, we screen everybody who is involved as a volunteer. the good news is a lot of the

people who are out there as volunteers are either active or retired police officers. but as a retired police officer, because i'm still coaching, i actually have to go down and get fingerprinted every year. we do screen everybody. we get some people who have criminal histories. we are faced with a bit of a dilemma because a lot of these people have turned their lives around and want to get back to the community. so we have to make some decisions of who is suitable for the program. we are aware of that and we take it seriously, putting the right people on the fields with the kids. >> thank you very much, retired commander bruce. i'm one of the p.a.l. kids. i went fishing -- >> another success story. >> i don't know about that. [ laughter ]. >> i went fishing with sergeant herbeau. that was fun. every summer we go fishing with kids throughout the city.

also played p.a.l. baseball. we played throughout the city. probably officer moreau did the same thing. it provided foundation to keep us busy throughout the summer. also kelly waterfield, at the time they were the cobras, not the seahawks. those people were influential in my life and our lives as athletes growing up. thank you for what you do. to the cadets and the young officer costello and his young son, congratulations, it's a lot of fun. we hear a lot of things about police officers. these are the positive things people don't know about. to have officer moreau and with the families. i thank the chief for putting the officers out there. that's really good. thank you for what you do. you retired from the police department a a long time and you have a successful business, but

you still do this. thank you. >> i want to echo some of the comments of my colleagues. thank you for what you do. i want to thank commander fung because i think i was the one who asked about the statistics around the program and the things we've been doing. i want to thank the command staff for that. i think commissioner taylor began to allude to it, but i would love to hear from some of the cadets about your experience and being exposed to the program. being a part of the program i'm a big fan of. i just want to hear a little bit about your exposure and your experience being in the program and what it meant or means to you. >> you're on the spot. >> well, i'm not sure. i really like it. it gives me a lot of athletic activities. the judo program that i was in a couple years ago and track and

field event. and junior giants as well, baseball. >> you know me from last time, some of you. [ laughter ]. >> here's the thing -- yeah, i know, i know, i know. it wasn't my original intention to join the program. my mother introduced it to me. i wasn't very sure at first. i've got to be honest with the news, you know, saying stuff about how cops are like, you know, bad. i kind of got mixed up in that, you know, with the same mindset just a little, but p.a.l. completely changed my mind, like completely. this was an amazing experience over the summer. once i got out of it, of course

i knew that most things that you hear on the news now are just sometimes complete bogus. so yeah. [ laughter ]. >> i was introduced to the program by my mom. she works for the chief of police. i am grateful for my experience with s.f. p.a.l. i learned a lot about cops. it helped me understand cops a lot more. i'm really grateful for my experience i had over the summer. >> thank you. >> thank you all. >> i didn't mean to put you on the spot. [ laughter ]. >> we're not going to do that. we don't have to do that to him. >> i like jujitsu. it's fun i mean. my favourite part is bulldog,

but we don't really play that anymore. we also do the wrestling game. i don't know what it's called, but i like it. one time people put me back in jujitsu, but i was the last one on my team. >> [ indiscernible ] -- >> a lot. >> we'll see what we can do about getting bulldog back. >> thank you. >> thank you. [ applause ]. >> thank you very much. >> thanks. >> thank you. i just want to say thank you to rick bruce, retired commander bruce. he could be doing many other things in his retirement years, but he is committed to this program for life and really, really has made a difference in keeping it going and taking it to the next level. thank you, rick. >> thank you. any other items, chief? >> yes, sir. i will quickly go through the

crime trends for this week and we had two other reports. for crime this week, we are -- we had a fairly quiet week. we had no shooting incidents, no homicides in the past week. we are still at 29 homicides for the year, compared to 37 this time last year, so we're down 22%. overall we're down 8% in part 1 crime. our violent crime is down 10%, a 22% decrease in homicides. also, we have had a 22% decrease in our shooting victims. we have a total of 101 victims of gun violence this year, so we're 22% down -- i'm sorry, 84 this year, compared to 101 this time last year. our property crime, we are 7% down and continue to show a

decrease in auto burglaries compared to this time last year. we're still 7% down and 19% down compared to this time two years ago. significant incidents this week. we had a stabbing incident actually on a muni bus and it involved a 17-year-old victim who was actually stabbed by another juvenile. we just today picked up the juvenile who was 13 years old. unfortunately, he had two very young people involved in this very violent incident on a muni bus. our defectitectives -- our investigators did a good job on this. more to follow what happens here. but hopefully we can get both of the people involved in this incident to a better place and get some services in place, particularly for the 13-year-old suspect. that's an ongoing case that

we'll continue to investigate until its conclusion. we had three major traffic injury collisions this week. one resulting in a fatality in the bayview. two others -- there was also two serious injuries in that incident. that one occurred on 10/6/19, october 6, at 3:39 p.m. it was an evans street in the bayview area. party one was driving a corvette and tried to negotiate a turn at a high rate of speed. he crossed over into oncoming traffic and hit a car coming in the opposite direction. the car coming from the ongoing direction succumbed to his injuries. the case will be presented to the district attorney to consider criminal charges. we also add a hit and run at clipper and sanchez in the

mission district. the vehicle involved was actually a stolen vehicle. our suspect hit, as he tried to free -- was involved in a traffic collision and injured the other driver. that person has been taken into custody. so we do have him in custody, and that investigation is ongoing. one other accident or collision to report, this one was a vehicle versus pedestrian on october # 8th at 9:50 in the morning on freemont and harrison in the southern district. the driver remained on the scene on that one. that one is also under investigation. we've had a number of events at the chase center in the past couple weeks. i'm happy to report, although there has been some traffic congestion, the events have gone really well.

we are deployed and working with the chase security in terms of the interior security, but the outer security are working with m.t.a. and our other city partners to make sure that we do what we can to mitigate the traffic concerns. the third street bridge is finally opened, so that's going to be a huge relief to the traffic in the area. that has already made a difference. as we get closer to the start of the season, we'll continue to work through the traffic bugs. we encourage everyone that is attending events at the chase to consider public transportation and make sure you allow yourself plenty of time so you can arrive on time. other events this week include fleet week. fleet week is a really fun event for everyone. san francisco is one of the bilgest fleet week events in a nation. we want to make sure we show appreciation for the men and women that serve our country in the armed services, particularly the navy and the coast guard. we have events all week in fleet

week, highlighted this weekend by the blue angels flyover which attracts a good crowd. we are deployed for that. we are encouraging the public to use public transportation if you can. also, if you must drive, reminding everyone to be smart and be vigilant. park smart. don't leave your valuables in the car. don't leave yourself as a victim. if you see something, say something. if you see behavior that merits an emergency call, please call 911. otherwise, report it and we will be out in force. the last thing on special events, harley strictly blue grass was this sunday. it went smoothly. this year we have some additional security measures that were put in place by the organizers of the event, including fencing -- even though the event is free, those security measures were

successful. we were happy to report no significant incidents at the harley strictly blue grass. just one other note for commissioner taylor, you had asked for additional information on a sexual assault. so we plan to add that to the commission next week. we'll follow up on that next week. we have two additional reports. next is the safe streets report. commander dan poreia. >> good evening. >> good evening. >> good evening, president, vice

president, commissioners, director, chief, members of the audience. i'm dan poreia. and i am the commander of the m.t.a. my presentation is about our efforts for the second quarter of 2019 in regards to traffic safety. so i wanted to talk a little bit first about our efforts and our enforcement. our strategy is to prioritize deployment in the high-injury

network corridors that have been identified by data from traffic collisions throughout the city to increase enforcement and to educate members of the public, especially the driving public, about our strategies. part of our enforcement include s lidar, radar operations where we're looking for people who are violating the basic speed limit law, also distracted driving operations, pedestrian and bicycle, safety enforcement, and those are things like a couple of weeks ago we had our traffic company motorcycle officers who were out working with officers from tenderloin station at turk and levenworth. we were having an undercover officer when the light was green enter into the crosswalk. we had motorcycle officers standing by. when an individual failed to

yield to the pedestrians as required, those individuals were stopped. there were a number of citations issued during that operation, as well as warnings to some of the drivers. the last bullet on my slide, very important. as part of our overall strategy to collaborate with city agencies, like the department of public health, san francisco m.t.a., and also with advocates and stakeholders like i see jody mcgaris who is one of my new friends over the last five weeks from walk s.f., a strong advocate for pedestrian safety in the city. brian wiedelmeyer is someone i've worked with and gotten to know over the last five weeks. i think i'm in my fifth week here at m.t.a. my next slide is a comparison of our second-quarter results for

2019 compared to what we did in 2018. for members of the audience who might not be familiar with focus on the five, we have identified five violations that are the most common primary collision factor in traffic collisions in the city. when you see focus on the five notation, the police department has a commitment of reaching the goal of 50% in all of our enforcement. for members of the public that may not be familiar, the focus on the five violations are for red lights, stop signs, pedestrian right of way, speed, and failing to yield while turning. so you'll see in all of our categories here for red light, the stop sign, pedestrian right of way, and failing to yield while turning, we saw increases in a positive direction for the

second quarter of 2019. our speeding enforcement -- our enforcement of basic speed laws for the second quarter was down slightly, compared to this period for last year. i learned from another meeting that i went to last week not to throw numbers at members of the committee or the commission. i apologize for doing this, but i spoke with jody maderas earlier today and she asked me a question that i hadn't considered. so i got that information and i wanted to discuss that and provide it to all of you this evening. so you'll see in this next slide we have our focus on the five violations for the ten district stations and the traffic company, the solo motorcycles. one thing that's important to point out is that in the first quarter of this year, we issued over 10,000 citations in total.

of those citations, 4,494 were for focus on the five violations, which equated to 41%. in the second quarter of this year, we've issued 11,000 citations, 5,773 were for focus on the five violations. our percentage was 52% department-wide. of the stations that you see on this slide, i'd like to point out that bayview station, northern station, richmond, and ingleside all exceeded our 50% goal. ingleside very significantly by 69%. our traffic company was over 60% as well. so this slide is other traffic violations versus focus on the five. again, in the second quarter,

overall our citations were up from the previous quarter. as i mention, our department average is for that quarter is 52%. so these two quarters combined, the first and the second, leave us with a department average for the first two quarters of 47%. so not 50%, but i think a positive thing to point out is it is trending upward in terms of enforcement and meeting that goal. now, the next slide that i have here for all of you contains information about the traffic fatalities that we've had, unfortunately, in the second quarter of 2019. the first graph or pie chart to your left breaks out the information on the method of travel that a person was engaged in, whether it was a person walking, a person driving, motorcyclist, a passenger, or a

pedestrian. we had a total of nine victims during tis period. you'll see that for the age of our victims, the largest percentage of -- in the age group is our seniors, at 33%. part of my assignment here, i've been educated at meetings and commission meetings about the vulnerability of people who are in certain groups, people of color, the elderly, people that are unhoused are -- and people that are outside vehicles are a lot more vulnerable than people that are inside vehicles. our traffic fatalities for quarter two compared to 2018, we had five total for the second quarter in 2018.

unfortunately, this year we've had nine. so that concludes my report. i did want to touch on a few things very briefly. in terms of an update, i believe that the commission is aware that we have a vision zero enforcement team in the solos. the size of that team was increased. we have nine officers now who are working every day of the week. they are concentrated on focus on the five violations. we want to change behavior by issuing citations and conducting operations solely for that purpose. since june 17th through september 30th, they've conducted over a thousand traffic stops and issued about as many citations, in addition to 30 warnings. approximately 90% of the traffic stops that they made resulting in a citation, they cited individuals for focus on the

five violations. so i think that's an important piece to point out. finally, i just want to make the point that our traffic company officers are definitely the experts when it comes to traffic safety and enforcement within the police department. they are involved in collaboration with all of the district stations and with all of the captains to conduct operations. i think the tenderloin is probably the best example because we've had some serious injury collisions and deaths in that district. having the additional support of motorcycle officers, not just for one day, but going forward as part of our overall strategy is going to be helpful in continuing our upward trend of enforcement. that concludes the information i have. >> thank you. there's nothing wrong with throwing out statistics to the commission, as long as we're

able to relate those to policies and actions the department is taking. it's helpful there. i'm assuming that the increase in citations are designed to reach vision zero to get to the point where we had no traffic fatalities and injuries as well, but i assume that's the goal. >> yes, commissioner, that is. >> thank you. vice president taylor. >> that's actually my question because traffic fatalities seem to be increasing. i wonder if there's a correlation between the citations and the fatalities. if we're increasing citations and the fatalities are also increasing, it seems to be a concerning trend. i wonder if you have any sense of whether or not the citations are actually working over time to decrease fatalities or if something else needs to be tried in addition. >> i can tell you, unfortunately my understanding of where we are

today is we have more traffic collision fatalities this year than we had all of last year. i'd also like to point out, and i understand your question as a very solid point, that in addition to the impact officers have when they're doing enforcement, i think in particular with motorcycle officers, i think that people that drive, people out on the roadways, when they see officers that are engaged in enforcement, especially along these corridors where speed is an issue and people are failing to field to pedestrians in certain areas or making turns and they don't give a pedestrian a right of way, there is a deterrent factor that's probably hard to quantify. when people go by and see that, it's my belief that they recognize that something is going on. i think that makes them ponder and think about how they're driving. i think that presence helps to

change people's driving behavior. i understand the citations are very important. the enforcement is an important piece. >> i'm just wondering if there is a way to quantify it, because if there's additional manpower and resources being put into increasing citations, i understand that. it would be nice if we saw that on the back end. i'm wondering if there are other things we can try. if we're increasing citations and increasing the staff to hand out citations and our fatalities are also increasing, i'm wondering if there's a -- you see the problem i'm having? >> yes, i do. and i think the way that i would answer that is i think, like most of the command staff and other captains, i think to my days of being a captain -- and this issue is a community concern. the best way to address community concerns is to get involved with stakeholders and advocates and also to put out information. our solo officers are going to

community meetings. they went to one in the tenderloin, where they gave a presentation about safety for individuals there. they went to sunset elementary school about two weeks ago. they were interacting with the kids that were working the dropoff. that school is fortunate to have a dropoff that's in a parking lot. still, being able to engage. i'm a parent and looking at the watch hoping that i make it. my wife always says, were you on time? i say yes always even when i cut it a little too close. the education piece is an important part of it. we're fortunate to have a strong team in terms of public information. our director david stevenson and i have talked extensively over the last couple of weeks. put out an e-mail to all my traffic company officers to talk about our twitter account. we have 2700 followers.

i would like to get more information out. i would like to tell people this is our vision zero team. these are operations we've done. getting any information out to the public. that's information that's right in your hand and readily available. we got few responses back from our motorcycle officers, because they're out there and they see what's going on. they're also -- i should explain they work very closely with the department of public health and sfmta. we're part of a response team. if there's a traffic fatality, they work and speak with people who are responsible for engineering the city streets. if there's an issue, all of our officers are ready to raise a hand and say something -- i'm not a traffic engineer, but this isn't working at this location. so we're involved in that --

we're involved in trying to get that message out and have that conversation with as people as we can to change the behavior. >> do you know how we're doing in relation to other comparable cities? i wonder if there are lessons we can learn from other people who might have lower numbers. >> i don't have anything at the moment. i know that vision zero is a strategy that's been deployed across the united states and even outside the united states. so there are -- there probably is information and something we look at. part of my approach in this new position is to get as much information as i can, not only out to the public but out to the solos and all the station captains to give information to police officers so that they understand what -- the real impact because at the end of the day the -- this is a serious issue to public safety. you shouldn't have to worry

about going out to the grocery store or traveling around on foot or your bicycle to get to work and worry about whether or not you're going to make it home that night because you were struck or you were in a collision. >> thank you, commander. it appears that the streets are more crowded with both pedestrians and vehicles. what inroads have we made? most of these are ride-share companies, lyft and uber. if you look at the license plates, they're from sacramento or roseville so there's no familiarity with the city. there is the drive to generate revenue by completing the rides faster. we had this conversation earlier. the question for you is what inroads have we made with the ride-share companies about educating and training their

drivers, in a similar format as we do with taxi drivers. that's a big part of what we see. the ride shares are used to deliver food and my neighbors get their coffee delivered from an uber driver. what inroads have we made with the ride-share companies? >> i know we are actively engaged in issues citations, including individuals that are working for transportation network companies. i think we all know who they are. we keep track of that. we're working with the city attorney's office. i know they're working on some policy and some litigation related to that and the impact that it has on the city overall. i can tell you that i went to a meeting with a bunch of individuals from the city family, as well as other individuals involved in t.n.c.s at scoot, which is the company that has the red electric rental

scooters. there was a lot of discussion that i think at least at that level that they're even aware of the impact and trying to offer a product while still trying to keep their riders -- their customers educated and responsible. so that conversation is ongoing. i can tell you that i appeared before the county transportation authority committee. president of the board of supervisors and the members of that committee were interested in addressing that topic as well. to try to be brief, because i haven't been successful at that in answering, i think that our social media campaign, the public education is one way to do that. but i think enforcement helps too to do that as well. but it is -- there's a lot of complexity to it.

>> i'd like to ask whether the department keeps statistics right now on the citations that are issued to ride-share drivers. do you keep that data? >> we do, commissioner. >> could we get a report on that so we can see what percentage of the total citations those ride-share drivers now constitute? >> yes, sir. >> great. thank you. thanks very much. >> thank you. >> next we have presentation of our early intervention system, second quarter 2019 report. >> good evening. >> good evening, president, vice president, commissioners, chief, and director. i'm sergeant lubernel and this

is our report. the package we provided to you on page 2, this is a reminder of our performance indicators for an e.i.s. alert. there is ten indicators which include use of force, d.p.a. complaints, civil suits, officer-involved shootings and discharges, on-duty collisions, any e.o. complaints, internal affairs, any tort claims and any vehicle pursuits. on the readiness you will see the e.i.s. activation. so any officer-involved shooting or discharge will automatically put the officer on the e.i.s. system. three or more incidents in a three-month period will do the same. three or more in a six-month period will put an officer on the system. any indicators in a six-month period, any complaints in a 12-month period and any indicators in the past year will

put an officer on the e.i.s. alert. on page 3, we have the e.i.s. flow charge. this is page 3. this is our early intervention system flow chart. when an officer reaches the threshold, an alert will automatically be generated and it will be sent to me. i will go ahead and review that alert. i have two options. i can either review it, review the alert, review all necessary information and close out that alert in the office, or i can go ahead and send that alert out to the district station and have

that officer's first-line supervisor review it with that officer. if either myself or the first-line supervisor feels that there is some type of at-risk behavior, we can go ahead and initiate an intervention. if we don't feel there is any type of at-risk behavior, we will go ahead and close out that alert. on the right-hand side, these are some of our additional information that we look at for the officers. so what might be causing the alert. any type of compliments or rewards. the officer's training history. if the officer is using additional discretionary time off than most other officers, there's a lot of stick time that the officer is going out and using, these are other indicators that we're going to take into consideration before

initiating an intervention. >> [ indiscernible ] -- officer and vehicle stops? >> so what we do when an officer generates a report, if there's any kind of e.i.s. alerts that come from vehicles, any type of complaints to do with racial profiling or no probable cause to stop, officer reviewing those cases for whatever cases come in. i'll start catering my investigation of the officer and look at what's going on with that particular officer on the differing circumstances. page 4 is the highlights page. so what we find here for the e.i.s. alerts between the first quarter of 2019 and the second quarter of 2019, we had 1.15% increase on alerts. we had two initial alerts from

the previous quarter. there's a little typo on the second line. the second quarter of 2018 and 2019 we see a 12.5% decrease in alerts. in alerts by station, we see an actual 3.32% decrease. and the e.i.s. alerts for the previous five quarters. so last reporting period it would have been all of 2018 in the first quarter. this one will be the second quarter. onto this period, we saw a 4% decrease in e.i.s. alerts. for e.i.s. indicators between the first and second quarter of this year, we saw a 10% decrease. we saw 760 for the first quarter, 683 for this quarter. compared to last year, we are actually down 23% from -- on the same reporting period.

on the use of force we did see an increase. ve a 28% increase compared to last quarter. 274 this year, 211 last quarter. we take that number and compare that for the first and second quarters of 2016 when we began taking statistics for the first and second quarter this year, there is a 40% decrease overall for the entire department. when you take the use of force for without putting a firearm, first quarter is 303, second quarter 270 for an almost 11% decrease. when we take the combined first and second quarters for 2016 at 604 and 2019, we have a 5% decrease, 604 to 573.

so this is our second quarter, e.i.s. alerts by type. these are the activations. we had seven officers with three d.p.a. complaints in a six-month period. 33 officers with five indicators within six months. two officers with four d.p.a. complaints in 12 months. and 63 officers with six or more indicators in 12 months, for a total of 575 alerts for this reporting period. there is a pie graph that just visually demonstrates that. in this reporting period we had 118 members that had at least one alert. and as far as interventions, we currently have five interventions, five officers that are on e.i.s. intervention.

not part of this report, but we initiated a 6-1 today. we currently have six of the five. the reasons for the intervention, two for appear in court and three for tactile communication. that number will be 3-3, so that's where we stand as of today. >> tactical communication? >> i'm sorry? >> tactical communication you said. >> no, for failure to appear in court. we issued one more e.i.s. intervention. it's not part of the report. we just initiated that today. [ please stand by ]

station. the station with the mh 42. our lowest is with five. mi, number one. as they have been fe have been researching a lot mort the station is engaged in and te going to and there's a slide i'.
