(applause). >> finally, gabriel, it is your turn.

>> thank you don andthal you all for come -- thank you all for coming. my heart is filled with so much gratitude today. i recognize that i am the last speaker right before lunch. i will keep it quick. first, i want to thank the tenants especially for putting up with construction and relocation. today is an open house of sorts. it is not the first open house. when we completed the first floor of the top floor we finished the first unit and held the apartment open for the tenants to come and take a look. everything was done. we had it staged modestly with flowers. people came out on to check it out. i will never forget one tenant walked in to the apartment and said is this what you are doing

to my home? the tenant reactions were great. i wish we had hgtv there to capture it. those are a real reason why many of us are in this business and do the work we do. i will skip over the list of hundreds of people i want to thank. i would like to thank the dozens of people who will look after this building here on out and look after the health of the people in it. i am very proud what we accomplished together to be here today. we did so under budget, mind you. i am proud that that we will accomplish all of this in the future. thank you very much for coming. >> thank you. i want to just offer a few reflections. one is that i hope you will hear from all of us just the expression of gratitude. we realize we are in a

privileged position to do the work to serve others. that is what a lot of us are very motivated by while in this room. seven years ago mayor lee and ed had a vision p.29 properties. $2 billion and where was that going to come from? how was it going to happen? a new program that none of us knew or understood very well. i understand the housing director at the time telling me five single-spaced pages of exceptions to the rules. like this is what it took. that speaks nothing of all of the people and the institutions who are part of it. i hope you will takethe time to not just read but to grasp what is involved with every one of

the people. most of you here and everyone on the list made a real contribution. i hope you will feel that you own this if you will, because we were in this role at the center of the work but it is other people doing the work. i don't know what it means to own ellis gardens. this is a community asset. this is affordable housing forever to serve people with low incomes forever. there will be a whole generation of people here 40 or 50 years from now celebrating the next rededication. it is a profound moment that i hope we can all appreciate how important not just the rededication but renewal. grateful to be a part of it. thank you all for coming.

>> i would like to take roll. [roll call] commissioner brookter is excused. you have a quorum. also present are chief william swot and director paul henderson from the department of police accountability. >> thank you. good evening, everybody. this is the november 13, 2019 meeting of the san francisco police commission. we don't have an extensive agenda tonight. so we'll allow three minutes for public comment. and we are ready for the first item. >> line item 1 consent calendar receive and file action. sfpd/dpa document protocol, quarter

13. request the chief of police to accept a donation from the police association for use of the sfpd wilderness program accept a gift of $5,000 from the children of deceased officer blackwell for use of the gym equipment for the northern station. >> thank you. can i have a motion on those two items together? is there a second? >> to watch a presentation regarding sergeant blackwell gift. >> all right. let's see if there's a second yet. >> i do. >> okay. now we are ready for the presentation and we'll take public comment. >> okay. thank you. >> should be on. >> thank you commissioners chief scott. i'm the commander officer the captain

of the northern policization station. i want to thank you for -- police station. i want to thank you for allowing us to make this request. blackwell was a sergeant at northern police station. he was taken from us far too son but he was well-respected among men and women of northern police station. we were contacted by his daughter kelly blackwell garcia. she conveyed to us it was important to her and her siblings that they remember their daughter with a gift of gym equipment to northern station and i humbly thank you for considering the request. >> thank you for the presentation. any comments from commissioners? okay. any public comment on items 1 and 2? please step up. >> hi. before i start, don't start the clock. i want to make sure the -- i'm blanking

on the word, the overhead projector is on. >> all right. and you are going to address just the two items. >> yes, one of the items. and this is working? okay. my name is michael. i am here to urge you to vote no on the $6,000 donation that the police officers association wants to donate to the police department. we recently went through a very polarizing race for the district attorney. and unfortunately the police officers association which i believe in many instances acts as a gang, yes the poa acts as a gang. and they spent over $600,000 on a lot of propaganda regarding the

district attorney's race. and i would like to go to the overhead. let me -- well. which way? there we go. this is part of the propaganda that they sent out. using mug shots of individuals who they say are criminals and then on the back, they say that one of the candidates was the number one choice of criminals and gang members. this kind of propaganda you can come back to me on the camera. this kind of propaganda is not only offensive but it harms effective policing in this city. this is not okay that the gang that runs the police officers

association raised $600,000 for this kind of devicive propaganda to get their message out. so now they are offering you $6,000? $6,000? it's crumbs. i don't think this commission should in any way be accepting donations from the police officers association until there is accountability of their just awful, terrible role in the recent election and how they spent $600,000 on offensive polarizing propaganda that i have to repeat harms effective policing in san francisco. if you vote yes on the $6,000 of crumbs for the wilderness program that the police department runs in my view, you are

endorsing what the police officers association has done in this recent election. please reject the $6,000 donation they are offering you. thank you. >> any other public comment on these items? all right. seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioner dejesus. >> i'm just wondering can we discuss this? can we take 1, 2 and 3 separately? or just discuss it? >> well right now it's just there are two requests. i had them bunched but you want to vote on them separately? >> i would prefer to do that. what do you think? >> well, this is not a committee, actually >> no, just to have discussion among ourselves. >> we can discuss it. all right. we'll separate the vote out. the first item we are voting on is the $6,000 wilderness program which we just heard comment on. but public comment is closed. what is it that you want to say?

all right. yes commissioner hamasaki. >> i mean i guess i appreciate the speaker's words. and i guess my only thought is -- or my thought is if there's money that's being used by the poa, and i do agree with the speaker that some of the political tactics and so forth were reprehensible and beneath the dignity of the department, but then again, this is not the police department's actions and this only represents the p. o. a.^ but in my view this is $6,000 that won't be spent on any future reprehensible conduct. so i'm a bit conflicted. i do understand what the speaker is

saying. but at the end of the day i think it's been widely reported that were it not for all of this reprehensible conduct our new district attorney probably wouldn't be in office. so i think that maybe it ended up working out well for him. and he's the candidate you support. so i don't know. i'm a little conflicted. it seems like the money going to the wilderness program is a good thing. money generally going to the wilderness program is a good thing and it's $6,000 that they can't get themselves in trouble with. >> i would like to ask you to have a seat please. commissioner -- vice president taylor. yes please have a seat. >> i wanted to ask the chief to tell us the commission about the

wilderness program. >> thank you commissioner, for that. the wilderness program has been around for many, many years. and i don't have an act date, but for many years. and really, two things, two objectives. number one it allows us an opportunity to really engage with youth from san francisco at a whole different level than we would ever get to do in our regular duties. the young folks are taken you know camping and explore nature explore the wild if you will. there's volunteer organizations that are behind it that helped over the years to keep this program going. and it's a very worthwhile event both for the development of people that normally would not get that opportunity to do those type of adventures and second thing in terms of building community and trust with our officers. so it's a very worthwhile effort,

the wilderness program. and like i said it's one of the staples that's been around for a very long time. >> thank you for that, chief. i would note i'm sure, and i don't want to speak for my fellow commissioners, but there have been a number of things that the poa has done that i'm sure that one or all of us have disagreed with. and you know, the speaker referenced the most recent ad that it's funny and notable that at one point the poa sued one of the other candidates in the race. so you don't have to agree with what the poa is doing in all instances. but the point of this donation the point of this program, is to help children, to help disadvantaged youth in the city who would not have opportunities would not have these opportunities otherwise. so that's why i wanted to hear from the chief about the program to see what the program was for and to make sure it's something

that we can all get behind and support. and at least for me i can speak for myself, it's certainly a worthy cause. >> yes. the police wilderness program has been around for a while. officer scott, who was the son of a former police chief who was a former football player, cal berkeley graduate, started that program. he never promoted in his career so he could remain in that program something he took seriously, taking kids from the western addition, bayview chinatown, taking them camping. and that was something he was very dedicated to. and to us it's an opportunity for officers to have relationships with these young men and women that foster trust between them and the community. and this police commission, and we do work and generally agree with pretty much everything at the end of the day but we have a dialogue.

and what we are seeing is deviciveness, san francisco is known for its one-way streets but the poa has first member rights to say what they want to say. people vote the way they want to vote. so being emotional or divisive doesn't work in this situation, especially for children going camping so i suggest we work for it. >> i also want to thank you the community forment cooing and speaking about -- for coming and speaking about the situation and the ads. i am happy and will be asking the chief to accept this donation because i think the money is going to the members, which is what the money should be used for helping its members do their job in a better way and improve their sort of quality of life while they're on the job. and i think that bicepping this donation, they are -- by accepting this donation, they are going to be able to repair

the relationship with the community which is something that has been broken, and the community really wants to relationship back, and i think police officers do too. and i think this is a good step in that direction and i'm happy to see that this money is going toward something positive rather than negative. thank you. >> after hearing from the commissioners and the chief i do agree. i think that this is going to a worthy program that we have heard about before. and i think that, again, i think we all support because this does give young people who don't have this opportunity the opportunity. and just to be clear we don't regulate the union. the union does their own thing. we have oversight over the members. and i don't think a lot of people were happy with the conduct,

but i don't think that should deprive the young people and the members who are working with the young people the opportunity to do the good work that's being done through the wilderness program. i do appreciate the comments. >> okay. let's put it to a vote then. all in favor of the donation to wilderness program $6,000 please signify by saying aye. >> aye. >> any opposed? it passes unanimously. we would like to have a vote on the second one. and this is the $5,000 donation to the northern police station in memory of sergeant thomas blackwell. >> so moved >> all right. any second? >> second >> all right. all in favor? >> aye >> any opposed? that carries unanimously. thank you. next item please. thank you. >> thank you captain. >> line item 2 reports to the commission, discussion. chief's report. weekly crime trends provide an overview of offenses occurring in san francisco.

significant incidents. chief's report will be limited to a brief description of the significant incidents. commission discussion will be limited to determining whether to calendar any of the incidents for a future meeting. provide a summary of planned activities and events occurring since the previous meeting. this will include a brief overview of any events in san francisco having an impact on public safety. the discussion will be limited to determining whether to calendar for a future meeting. community and youth engagement update provide an overview of recent community and youth engagement activities and presentation of the third quarter 2019 audit of electronic communication devices. >> thank you. good evening, chief. >> good evening president hirsch, vice president taylor, commission and executive director henderson. i'm going to start off tonight's report with our crime trends. overall crime is down 6 percent.

property crime is down 6 percent year to date. burglaries down 17 percent. our auto burglaries down 4 percent company compared to last year and down 50 percent when compared to this time 2017. violent crime is down 7 percent overall led by homicides which are down 18 percent. we have 33 year to date and we had 40 this time last year. so we are really working hard to try to finish the year strong on keeping the homicides low. it's a really good year. we haven't had a year like this in a long time. so we hope we can keep that going until the end of the year and beyond. we had no homicides last week to report. happy with that news. as i reported last week, there were four homicides in october and three in september. 22 of the 33 were cleared.

21 cleared by arrest and one cleared by exceptional clearance. as to overall gun violence, we have had 115 total victims of gun violence. and that is a result of 95 shooting incidents. some have multiple victims. this represents an 11 percent decrease from 2018. and of the 115 victims, 20 of the gun violence victims resulted in fatalities or homicides. again our five-year trend is very, very pleasing and positive overall. our homicides as i said, we are as low as we've been this point in the year for the last five years. our shooting victims, we are as low as we've been for the last five years and our homicides with firearms, we are as low as we've been in the last five years. so really good trends.

we'll continue to work hard to keep that going throughout the end of the year and beyond. significant incidents for the week. we had four shootings that resulted in six injuries to victims this past week. one occurred at third in the bayview district, which left two victims injured with gunshots. the second incident occurred at geary and stockton in central which left one victim suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. and another victim received minor injuries as he attempted to intervene in a robbery attempt near the stone mall. taylor and market we had a victim shot several times following a verbal altercation. all of these cases are still in the process of being investigated. no suspects have been arrested at this point. another crime of note, another incident of note, not a crime, at least it hasn't been determined a crime at this point unfortunately we had a deceased infant

found at lincoln park golf course in the richmond district on november 9. the officers were called to the scene by golfers who found the deceased infant in the park. our medics arrived and pronounced the infant dead. and early indications indicate the baby was stillborn and probably abandoned. it's still under investigation and there's still investigation by the medical examiners office. our homicide unit is actually conducting this investigation. so we will report if it turns out to be anything other than a natural. we have not located the mother of this infant yet. the public has any information, please call us on that. another incident to report is an aggravated assault which resulted in a stabbing on the 100 block of eddy on the tenderloin on november 11.

our victim who was wheelchair bound was attacked by an unknown suspect who pushed the victim out of the chair and stabbed him multiple times in the back. victim was transported and treated for life threatening injuries but is still surviving or has survived the injuries. two possible suspects have been identified from surveillance cameras in the area but this one is still under investigation. so we will keep the public informed on any arrest that might come from evidence in that case. yesterday participanted in a press event in chinatown -- participated in a press event. and it was regarding recent incidents that had gotten quite a bit of coverage in chinatown. robberies assaults and the like. and i want to give a quick and very brief summary of some of the results. several of these incidents have gotten a lot of media attention and public attention and rightfully so.

they are vicious attacks and heinous incidents. but here are some of the results. i'll be very brief on just a list of some of the ones that we have actually had success in identifying and arresting the perpetrators. we had a robbery in july of this year at pacific and stockton street that received a lot of media attention. there was a videotape robbery and beating of our victims that resulted in a victim being knocked unconscious as he was struck in the face by the suspect. we've made an arrest on that case actually on october 22nd, 2019. and those charges were filed by the district attorney's office. second incident, july 9, 2019, aggravated assault on stockton. suspect pulled out a multifaceted tool and attempted to stab the victim on the head. we were able to follow up on leads with help from the public. the officers identified the suspect and that suspect was taken

into custody. we had a robbery in august on the 600 block of pacific street. we had a suspect who was robbed of his wallet by suspect. the suspect fled into the housing unit. the officers because of their relationships with members of that community were able to get follow-up information and identify the suspect. and that suspect was arrested on november 5 of this year just last week. september 2019 we had an aggravated assault on broad way and columbus. our victim was walking in the area of montgomery when she was attacked randomly and without provocation. approximately 15 minutes later another victim was randomly punched in the face. our officers were able to recover video from that incident and

actually midnight watch officers from central actually identified the suspect and took him into custody that night. november 2019 we had an assault on 1100 block of stockton street where a juvenile attempted to hit a victim with a baseball bat. we were able to actually because of a quick response take that juvenile into custody as well. and that arrest was made. november 2019 we had a theft actually a robbery, cell phone was snatched from a victim's hand. then a little while later another cell phone was robbed from another victim. multiple officers from central responded quick response resulted in arrests of two suspects that same night. november 2019, another cell phone robbery occurred as a woman was waiting for her uber. our central officers responded, actually identified a possible suspect and detained the suspect and arrested that suspect the

same night after positive identification. november 2019, this was just last week actually, the00 block of full street and 200 block of geary we had two cell phone robberies. and again our officers did a fantastic job in following up on the information arrested two juvenile suspects who were both arrested and booked at the juvenile justice center on that case. so i want to report that, because the public has been very much interested and rightfully in so in these cases. many are high-profile cases. they have gotten a lot of social media coverage or news coverage. and although our first and foremost objective is to prevent these crimes from happening in the first place through our deployment which i will discuss in a minute when they do happen, we do everything we can to bring the people to justice. so good information for the public to know the results of these cases. and hopefully of the ones we have

not been able to solve we will continue to work and solve those as well. in terms of our strategies for these crimes we increased our patrols after one of the october robberies. increased foot patrols, expanded foot patrol hours. we also have four housing officers that are working the patrols. and that's from morning to evening. that visibility we believe has allowed for some prevention and quick responses have resulted in positive results in terms of arrests. our bilingual officers are available wednesdays and fridays. we ask the public to engage, talk to the officers. if you are a victim of the crime, we need to you to report it. very important you report the crime. many of these cases have been solved because people come forward

with cell phone videos. and that information is very important. so we are in the community. please report so we can take action if anyone is victimized. [stand by]
