focus and our strategies to hopefully have a better year next year. we have been going down constantly for the last three, four years and this year was what i hope is an aberration. we are going to work hard to make sure that our officers are out there. we have a vision zero task force, we doubled the size of that. so there's a lot of strategies that we have in place to hopefully address these issues, and the bottom line, it starts with us as san franciscans and people that live, visit and work in our city is slow down, follow the rules, and that is the first piece of it. but if those things don't happen, education and enforcement have to happen. and we are doing both, educating and enforcing. we will continue to do that, and hopefully we'll make headway this year on reducing this number. the goal is zero. that's why it is called vision zero. so we have a lot of work to do. >> i've seen statistics that the

city put out or it's been in the press about the number of vehicles in the city. are we able to track the number of vehicles every day on the streets, particularly ride share, ride hail vehicles? because i suspect there's a correlation there somehow. >> i believe nca has some ways to predict or to extrapolate how many vehicles are on our street. and i don't have those numbers. but i know that they do. and i will follow up and see if i can get my hands on those numbers for the next report. i believe that they do. because we have traffic cameras and that type of thing in the city that help with that. but it is a very congested city. and that causes its own set of problems. people get impatient and road rage and the whole thing that adds to that problem. >> right. it might be helpful for us to think about this and even address to the extent we can, if we have a better feel for whether that's driving some of the problem. >> yes, sir. >> anything else, chief?

>> that's it for my report. >> commissioner? >> no worries. a follow-up for me, it's great that we have the numbers from 2019. maybe in february or march we can actually get a report. i would like to see what those 41 homicides, which communities they were in. and the same thing with the fatalities for vision zero. i wanted to echo commissioner mazzucco's point about the job that the department is doing. i got an opportunityd to to spend time at a help sf sites and saw a cadet receive an award, so to see the cadets engaging with the community speaks to the future of the department so i was excited to see that. i would love to see that maybe in march. >> thank you. we'll have that ready. >> thank you, chief. okay, next item, please. >> the firearm discharge board.

review board. >> good evening. >> good evening. >> president hirsch, commissioners, chief scott, director henderson. my name is greg, i'm a deputy chief of administration, and i'm here to report the firearm discharge review board report to the commission. this report will have four

incidents, ois16001, 006, 18004 and officer-involved discharge 001-18. the first incident ois16001, occurred on april 7, 2016 at approximately 9:57 hours in the morning. officers responded to the 400 block of shotwell street regarding a 911 call from a homeless outreach team member of a man with a knife. officers arrived on scene and encountered a male with a large knife. officers gave the subject numerous verbal commands to drop the knife but he failed to comply and extended range impact weapon was deployed by one of the officers, four rounds struck the subject but were ineffective. the subject began to advance toward one of the officers. both officers initially

retreated and in an effort to gain time and distance, the subject charged with the knife in hand. in response to the immediate threat of being injured or killed, both officers fired at the subject to stop the threat. the subject was struck and transported to san francisco general hospital. the subject was later pronounced deceased. the recommendation to the chief of police was that the use of a firearms in this incident was in policy, and chief scott concurred. in addition to this incident, a recommendation to the chief of police regarding the use of the extended range impact weapon was found not in policy regarding 15106. in essence, the officer at the initial contact, the officer did not create time, distance or repour with the person in crisis. department bulletin 15155, the situation was static, the

subject was seated and there was no one else in the immediate proximity and no immediate threat posed when the officer swiftly closed in. department bulletin 15234, the officer did not obtain a briefing from any reporting party or officer prior to advancing to an armed subject. an officer advanced without a formal plan. the officer didn't have cover. the officer point of aim was not in zone 2 which is at the waist or below. the officer fired rounds at zone 1, which is above the waist. the officer did not provide a verbal challenge. department bulletin 15515234 were in effect at the time of the incident but since that time they have incorporated into the general order.

for these recommendations, the e.i.w. was not in policy, chief scott concurred. my clicker didn't work there. i needed to switch the slides. all right. officer involved shooting 17006. 2017 at approximately 0021 hours in the early morning, two officers assigned to uniform assigned to the castro street halloween festivities were approached by a community member advising them a parked vehicle in the area was being burglarized. the community member directed the officers and pointed out the vehicle he believed was being burglarized. as the officers approached the vehicle, the person inside the car closed the rear passenger door. the officers approached and attempted to make contact with the suspect who was sitting in the backseat of the vehicle. the officers announced

themselves and gave the suspect numerous verbal commands to show his hands and get out of the vehicle. the suspect did not comply after multiple orders. without any warning, the suspect moved from the front seat -- to the front seat and unexpectedly got out of the vehicle and started firing at the officers. one of the officers was struck by the gunfire. the suspect then turned toward the second officer and pursued the officer on foot as he continued to fire at the officer. fearing for his life, the officer retreated to get cover and returned fire to stop the threat. the suspect was struck and taken into custody. the injured officer and suspect were transported to san francisco general and treated for the injuries. the recommendation to the chief of police regarding 17006 was it was in policy and chief scott concurred.

the next, 18004 occurred on friday, may 11, 2018 at 0059 hours in the morning. a field training officer and recruit officer assigned to northern station observed a possible auto burglary in progress near gary boulevard. the officer got out of the vehicle in an attempt to detain the suspects. one suspect was detained. a second suspect ran from the scene and the recruit officer pursued him on foot. the recruit officer chased the suspect to the area of websters where the suspect got into a parked car. the recruit officer gave the suspect numerous verbal orders to get out of the vehicle and show his hands. the suspect refused to comply and the recruit officer believed the suspect was reaching for a weapon as the suspect reached towards the floor board. while attempting to flee, the suspect vehicle collided with a parked civilian vehicle and sfpd vehicle. believing the suspect was going

to use a weapon against another officer, the recruit officer fired two rounds at the suspect as he fled in the vehicle. the suspect was not hit by the gunfire. the suspect continued to flee the scene and was pursued by more sfpd units to an area where he was taken into custody. the recommendation of the chief was the use of the firearm was not in policy and that general order 5.01 section e moving vehicle an officer shall not discharge a firearm at the operator of a moving vehicle unless the operator or occupant poses an immediate threat of death or serious bodily injury to the public or officer by means other than a firearm. sorry, other than the vehicle. in this case, chief scott concurred with the recommendation.

in addition, this recommendation to the chief was the camera use was not in policy and that general order 10.11, the member didn't activate the body camera at any point during this incident, and chief scott concurred with this recommendation. the last incident is the officer-involved discharge, 001-18 on wednesday, march 28, 2018 at approximately 12:15 hours in the afternoon a sergeant was on duty, the sergeant was at a desk dismantling his weapon when the sergeant accidentally discharged a round. there were no injuries. the recommendation to the chief of police was that the use of firearms was not in policy and that the general order 5.1 section 6g1a handling a firearms an officer shall handle a firearm in acore dance with

firearm -- accordance with firearm training. chief scott concurred. the following is the open officer-involved shooting and discharge investigations from 17-001 to the most current. i'm sorry, to 00-19. so these are all open investigations and have indicated where they are still active and administrative investigations relating to each of those cases. some are just administrative investigation because the criminal investigation has been concluded. >> okay. thank you, deputy chief. i have a question for you. the two cases that you said were not in policy. do we know whether discipline then followed? >> yes, discipline did follow. >> okay.

commissioner elias. >> thank you. my one request is -- thank you for presenting on this. the one thing that i am going to ask that next time these are presented in the description summaries that i think the time accounting should also be included. i think it's important to sort of see how long the incident takes. [off mic] it's crucial in when we look at these scenarios and descriptions you give because most of the time or oftentimes, these incidents happen within seconds. so i think that's an important piece of information that should be included in these reports to give us a better idea. because i was very confused on the 2016 report, because everything that led up to the use of lethal force is considered not in policy, but then the use of lethal force is in policy. so i think it would be very interesting or informative to see the timing, especially on

this incident. >> okay. >> commissioner dejesus. >> question on the same one. the timing is also important. but on the first one that you read. so the first one you read, the second part of it, the use of the eriw was not in policy. [off mic] gasping the knife -- officer discharged -- [off mic] all those reasons are also reasons for the shooting. i guess i'm confused.

when they are using less thee that will weapon, they didn't apply the policy but so if we are not creating time and distance, we are charging the person and using a lethal weapon, that's not the ground to be limited or whatever, it's just in policy. it's so confusing. anyone reading this, if they didn't comply with our policy for creating time and space. you have a representative of the commission that sits on these fire discharge review boards, but we don't have a vote. so this is an internal process by the police department, and you report to us, and sometimes it gives the impression that we went along with this or agreed with this or we found this to be in policy. so this is
