we even ask the city administrator for a mask for the department? did anyone in the command staff make a request? >> yes, ms. dejesus, we made that request. at that time, you recall there was a critical shortage with hospital workers. >> you made a question and they couldn't provide. i wanted to know if you asked. >> yes, ma'am. and i want to be clear and they worked real hard to get it and the ppe that the city needed and eventually we got what we needed and at that time we weren't there yet. >> i know a lot of calls, too, and i was told the mask had the p.o.a. logo or name on it. and the pictures i can't tell and i can just see the flag and

if it didn't have the logo o.p.o.a. on the masks as well? >> yes, it did. >> that is the problem. it is not just the flag which is open for interpretation and is a political party. it is a political union. and i do believe we have guidelines about wearing political stuff during the job. a lot of people recognize the p.o.a. symbol and unfortunately that is offense ifr to many in the communities and the community and the commission and the department and outright hostile and that is what bothers me and it was a political act. so knowing that and the pictures of the lines of officers wearing them and six, eight, 10 in a

row. and different situations. and i had the question i had and commanders and command staff notice it was a political mask and bring it to your attention? it sounds like, you know, the community brought it to your attention. i don't understand why members of your own department see that was a political statement and that was inappropriate. >> a community member brought it to my attention and the incident that went out that was posted and i believe it was one of the newspapers and with the picture and within a very short amount of time is when i started getting phone calls. so this timeline and community wise and the community brought it to my attention first. i don't know if it would have played out and i took action immediately along with command

members. >> and asking before the community saw it and i am sure a sergeant or captain or somebody else saw it and didn't seem fit to question it or call you or have this go and notify you and no one took it upon the hierarchy and the masks with the p.o.a. and the blue lives symbol. are you okay with that? you know what i mean? >> no, so, the masks were not authorized by anybody in the department and i hope that the investigation will sort out how they -- who wore them and how. and all i have seen is the one picture. i don't know how many people had them on and i think we are talking about the same picture. so i am hoping that investigation will be good.

>> that is good to know whether the p.o.a. delivered to different stations and just being handed out and you have leadership there and the leadership didn't question it. i am surprised by it and you have to come in here to wear a pink patch for breast awareness month and pride and anything to alter the uniform, you have to ask. and the mask maybe doesn't alter the uniform, but when it starts having a political agenda behind it, it alters the uniform. i am zesed in the investigation, too, and how it was distributed and if it was in the district stations and the captains and sergeants and to address at that point as a leadership issue. >> point well taken. thank you. >> commissioner: commission elias. sorry. i was just trying to say that the point was that the chief, you should have been notified prior receiving the picture and then been apprised of what was

going on. i think that is what she was trying to get oto, but i think she cleared it up. >> commissioner: okay. i don't see any further questions. so next line item. >> can i just say one thing else? how do we prevent that from the future? now that we know that we know political paraphernalia can come out in the guise of ppe and how do you train the staff to put the brakes on when there is something controversial or political and give you a heads up. >> as far as ppe we issued another department notice and the masked are mandated to be neutral now. but in the past and we do it

every season, and political activity including the p.o.a. and is not allowed to do in police stations and the like and went to an arbitration hearing. that is sorted out and documented and the department policy on that as well. >> thank you. >> next line item. >> next line item is a presentation of the crisis intervention team. >> hi. good evening, commissioners, chief scott and the public. commander pierre walsh from field operations and i will be introducing the lieutenant molino. c.i.t. started in 2011 and developed into one of the

premier national programs within law enforcement. the c.i.t. program starts in the academy and continues through the field tactics course as well as the 40 hour course. as of today, 1,180 members have been trained in the 40 hour course which is roughly 50% of the department's officers which is double the request made by the commission in 2016. and over 2,200 in the 10-hour course. lieutenant molina continues to move this forward and is constantly applying techniques andlesstons in how law enforcement interacts with people in crisis as well as having our public health and social welfare partners participate. and c.i.t. has grounded the approach in real world and the

public at large. and c.i.t. is a sought after class that has pushed away internal and external skepticism and elevated the professionalism of officers. lieutenant molina will present the c.i.t. highlights in his report for you. >> before lieutenant molina, i want to add something from a reform perspective. this thanks to the commission of the commission many, many years ago this is one of the lynch pins of our goals to reduce use of porch and better coordinate how we handle people in mental crisis and in this era we are calling for change and the public at large and across the world call for change and policing. i just want to highlight just

that we have what i believe to be really an anchor that will help us get there. i know that commission and i think many, many of you about 11 years ago had the vision to really direct the department in this direction. but i just want to say that i want to thank the commission and i think maybe commissioner dejesus is on that commission. and this is really been a great thing for us and our city and our department particularly as it relates to the ability to connect this initiative with the ongoing. and i will turn it over for the high level for the viewpoint. >> thank you, vice president. and chief scott and members of the public and commissioners, it is an honor and privilege to be before you again. i think we are off by a week from the last presentation last

year. i want to thank you for keeping consistency on how you are viewing and reviewing our program. and i wanted to start by saying how proud i am of you guys because back in 2011, resolution 1118 demanded for the police department to form and create a program and crisis intervention. you had that vision nine years ago. if you see that demand across the news, everybody is demanding crisis intervention training and december-de-escalation. and you had that vision in 2011 and you recommended the memphis model which is the one that we adopted. the best practices recommends 20% of the force to be trained in c.i.t. what we have met the requirements and we have passed

those environments. and now we are over 50% of the police department trend. and best practices across the nation only ask for 20%. 20 to 25%. the san francisco police department has over 50% of the officers trained which to me is a great accomplishment and is an example of the leadership that we have in the department and how they embrace this program and took it where we are at right now. next slide. i will be brief here because demander walsh was kind enough to go over the slide and talk about how the training has evolved and how the training has become a premier training which resembles today i have two phone calls and -- actually, two emails and i was asked to be a participant on recommending from the rchl for the chicago police department and they want to use the pedestrian policies to

accomplish that and a great accomplishment to reflect well on the san francisco police department. i was also contacted today by las vegas police department, and they also want to know about our program and what we do in san francisco. so it just happened to be a good timing and i am here before you telling about this that happened within the last four hours. so once again, it's just the commitment that the department has in this program. next slide. i want to talk about the call for service. we had over 50,000 calls. in the past we talk about how the calls get generated. and i know it sounds like a high volume of calls, and there is, but when you breakdown the calls, you find out that some of the calls had no merit, like, there was no police action required. some of the calls were gone on

arrival. and i think commissioner dejesus asked this question last year and she wanted the breakdown on the call for service. so i have submitted to you also for this evening the end of the year report which is about 27 pages. and i will not personally go through all 27 page, but the answers are if that report. the question that you have about how the break down the calls for service, and that is in the end of the year report, and we can get on a few of those questions at the end of the presentation and i can direct you to where to look to find those answers. so with that said, 800 and went to 16,542 calls and the person attempting suicide went to 4,000 and juvenile parental control 362 and mental health 658 and that is when a clinician or somebody who is providing mental

health treatment or assessment of the police department and use the terminology 51150 and that is how they call us out. when we get a call about a person with a mental health crisis, we get an 800 and not the 5150. the 800 is when the person was in possession of weapons or threatening to use weapons in a mental health crisis. the 800 and 801cr is when the person has threatened to commit suicide or attempted to commit suicide with the weapon. we have 132 on the first one and 45 on the second one. i know it is scary at the calls we look at and to check on the well being, and by definition, that is not a crime. check on somebody who is laying on the sidewalk, somebody who is not taking the medication, and the parents might be concerned or loved ones concerned and call for the police department to say my son, my daughter, or whoever

is living in their house and hasn't taken the medications and we like to have an officer here to the health assessment. and it might be somebody's calling for help and break down the end of the year report. last year and we had 3,426 mental health and for us to have this information with looking at the mental health dashboard. this is assigned to extract the information and to issue the police report and so from the

business intelligence section and telling me how many people were 5150 in the last 24 hours. in 2019, and as you can see, in the metro edition and the downtown area and southern district and norton district and some of the mission. later on you will see through the presentation and the c.i.t. and communicates with the district specialists on how to assign officers especially to the metro division which has the highest demand for mental health calls.

and brings us to the use of force. and keep in mind that we have over 50,000 calls and like i said, a different breakdown to that. and officers used call and to check on the well being and mental health detention and mentally disturbed persons, 33 calls and suicidal person with the calls attached to it or the person in crisis. >> what was the number? 65? >> 65. that is use of force. >> yes. and you see the breakdown and see the break down of how many

called and are d.o.a. and how many were personal control and control using physical restraint to hang out. pointing the fire arms were 15. and another weapon and six of them and the erw which is the shotgun and there were nine of those with the rubber bullets and total numberover force use was 93 use of force incidents out of the 65 incidents.

and you can have i think the latest explanation that is blocked by the bar here, and with how that information gets collected. next slide please. so we have a section where the person was injured or not. and out of the 65, 35 persons either complained of pain, had visib visible injury, or talked to the officer after use of force around said something about whether they were comfortable or if the actions caused pain. we had 35 of those. of those, seven were injured. and injured were 30. and a little less than half were not injured during the encounter. and 93 and grand total of 165. uses of force. and blunt object was used one

time. and that is where the person was either in possession of a weapon and a person in possession of firearm and from 8 inches out of the 6 # an and seven other incidents that another weapon was produced. and looking at some of the police reports, people were armed with chairs, metal sticks, block, wooden sticks, and with the other and is in reference to that. and no welcome back and there were 49. and once again is physical force when we talk about the person having a weapon. and resisting or fighting the officers. so total of 65. and once again, and place the numbers in how the numbers were accumulated. and move on to the next slide.

so the breakdown and officers were trained or not trained and sometimes we have no trained officers and 53 officers that were trained. move on and use of force and you have the use of force and out of 5 # 5, 28 were not anticipated and eight were latino.

let me get to the next statistic sheet. we have officer and the application and five were african-americans and from the pacific islanders. and move on to the next slide please. and the graphic for the police department. and in april this year and are composed by white male officers and female officers and the rest is all a part of that. and you have 1%, none, and another is 2% and we have 399

latinos and 135 filipino officers. and 213 african-american officers. 392 asian officers and 1% of american indian officers. move to the next page. so this is the breakdown on how the officer is assigned to this session. and 2019 and we have just in the first row and the total personnel and are c.i.t. trained and this fluctuates and every six months we have personnel sign ups to get an assignment that moved from one session to the other. and people retire. people get hired. so there is a lot of movement. so my goal in the c.i.t. program is to keep an even number of officers in order to assure that it will be a c.i.t. trained

officer in every shift. and especially in the metro division because that is where we had the highest calls for service. that is one of my goals every six months before signing, i contact the lieutenants who are in charge of creating the lineups and the new assignments and provide the list of the officers who are c.i.t. trained and can allocate according to the shift. and commander walsh and 99% on the tact ins and use of force training. and and everyone in the field and active to the job has received that training. and the only people might not have had it and they were out on leave, out on disability or whatever the situation was. we have a few of those were

trying to catch now when they come back to work and put into the hours training and the field practice and the 10 hours use of force. and other than that, everybody who is working on the streets right now have received the field tactics and de-escalation. what this is is something innovative and we are the first ones in california who had this training. the san francisco police department was the pioneer in california. my two training sergeants were able to put a program together with officers in training and they have improved it in the time it takes and temperature only department to have this. and ever since that happened we are getting a lot of calls from other departments to see what we are doing and like i said, today was a good example of that. i received two email. ing see some sessions have a
