>> president cohen: my name is malia cohen. it is 5:48 on october 20th. we are just getting started. i want to recognize my fellow commissioners that have joined us. vice chair cindy elias, jim byrne and commissioner yee joining us we have executive director paul henderson and chief. please call the roll. [ roll call ] commissioner hamasaki is in

route. [ roll call ] you have a quorum. >> president cohen: let's start with the first item. that is the pledge of allegiance. please join me and repeating after me. [pledge of allegiance] thank you folks. let's go ahead and get started. please call the next item. >> clerk: first item is general public comment. at this time, the public is now welcome to address the commission for up to two minutes on items that do not appear on tonight's agenda but within the jurisdictions of the police commission.

comments or opportunities to speak during the public comment period are available via phone. by calling (415)655-0001. enter access code 2484 599 3435 then press pound and pound again. detail star 3 -- dial star 3 if you wish to make a comment. best practices is to call from a quiet location. alternatively, you may submit public comment in either of the following ways. e-mail the secretary of the police commission at

sfpd.commission@sfgovtv.org. looks like we have a few in public comment here. good evening caller, you have two minutes. >> caller: hello i'm a resident of district 1. in the meeting materials is a presentation by sfpd which will highlight sfpd proceeds as a department success in fulfilling most of the 272 department of justice recommendations from 2016. the department reports that the recommendations are nearly complete. it bears remembering that the recommendations were meant to be completed far earlier than this.

the rates of anti-black disparities and use of force remains unapproved to 2016 to this day. according to the most recent sfpd data is black san franciscan is more times to be stopped and more than 11 times likely to be arrested. the department of police accountability suggested a policy where officers will refrain from asking questions at routine traffic stops. we agree with the spirit of this recommendation, we feel that stops should be ended all together. there are many negative effects for black people being stopped so often. reinforced trauma, pain and suffering and sense of always being targeted through racial rl

profiling. wealth disparities in the black community support elimination of all routine traffic stops. a track stop or broken tail light or turn signal is not worth of horrible consequences we have seen for black people across the country. thank you. >> caller: hi. i also volunteer with falisha jones. in the meeting material tonight is a presentation by sfpd which speaks to point out the department success. it's important to put this in

context. more importantly, horrific rates of anti-black disparity in terms of arrest, use of force remain over unapproved over these years. black san franciscan is more likely to be stopped. we demand the police commission to continue to monitor and demand accountability from sfpd about this treatment of san

franciscans. >> clerk: thank you. good evening caller, you have two minutes. >> caller: hello, i live in district 5. i volunteer with falisha jones. this month, mission local reported on the police commission meeting and sfpd characterizing itself as collaborative partner of

equality. those same groups, the department of police accountability and say they have been shunned aside and excluded all together. the collaborative nature of the police department's process is that they pick and choose who is at the table. police commission president cohen and commissioners elias and hamasaki are also mentioned in the article as being frustrated by sfpd's lack of proper communication and lack of transparency. one key area of discussion was situation of a serious incident review board. commissioner elias, who was specifically tasked overseeing the policy update is quoted say, it says currently in working group phase. there is no working group.

because i don't know about it. considering sfpd's lack of communication and transparency around working groups, another key area which supposed to be collaborative, it is outrageous for sfpd to characterize itself as cooperative transparent partner. the comments highlighted from the police commission and department of public health shows culture of non-transparency and self-rule. it illustrates the importance of real outside oversight of sfpd. sfpd should not police itself. >> sergeant youngblood: good evening caller. >> caller: hi, good evening. my name is ms. brown. i'm calling concerning my son,

aubrey who was murdered at 3:00 p.m. in broad daylight. i live in district 5 also where my son was murdered. still, the case isn't solved. the perpetrators that murdered my son are still running the streets. i'm keeping my son's memory alive and not let his memory go. i'm just hoping that some day i can have a day in court to confront the perpetrators this murdered my son. i still aggressive -- i still grieve for my son. my son is not old news. he's new news. until i i can get closure, even

if i get closure, who's to say that my grief going to go away. it won't. i pray that i have that day that i can get some closure. little bit of closure. again, i don't have the names in front of me of the perpetrators we all know who they are. i want justice to keep the memory of unsolved homicide, my child is unsolved homicide. they say there's no statute of limitations for murder. i'm praying one day i won't have to call in this police commission anymore and bring up my son's name. until then, this is something i need to do. i have to do. let alone helping other mothers and fathers in their grief. this is my therapy. again, thank you for listening to me.

>> sergeant youngblood: if you have any information regarding unsolved homicides please call the anonymous tip line, (415)575-4444 that concludes public comment. >> president cohen: i appreciate that. let's call the next item please. >> sergeant youngblood: item 2, adoption of minute, action for the meeting october 6, 2021. >> vice president elias: motion. >> commissioner yee: second. >> sergeant youngblood: anyone who like to make public comment please dial star 3.

good evening, caller, you have two minutes regarding line item 2. >> caller: i think my hand was raised from the previous public comment. >> sergeant youngblood: enthusia stic. any callers who like to make a comment regarding line item 2, please dial star 3. >> president cohen: thank you. >> sergeant youngblood: regardin g the motion to accept the minutes. [roll call vote]

minutes have been adopted. next line item, 3, consent calendar. receive and file action police commission report of disciplinary actions, third quarter 2021, sfpd monthly sb1421 report, department of public health monthly sb1421 report. consent items are items on calendar -- the items on consent calendar are considered routine and for information purpose only. if any commissioner would like to discuss any of the items under the consent calendar please advise president cohen that you like place the item on a future agenda for presentation and discussion. tonight, there will be no discussions or presentations on these items.

>> president cohen: i realized there's no -- it's on consent. i do have question regarding senate bill 1421 report. chief, i will address this question to you and you can provide who on your staff with answer it. how is the department planning to discuss records release in accordance with senate bill 16? >> i'm going to be meeting with sergeant kilshaw who worked with me to get 1421 done. sergeant kilshaw and city attorney will be implementing the policy to make sure that we comply with the law. >> president cohen: will you be able to report back to the commission? >> yes.

hopefully, we'll be meeting in november some time. >> president cohen: that's good. my question specifically to you, is this report out going to be part of the future report out on 1421? >> i assume we're going to add the additional categories so we can have the numbers. i think our first step is to create the policy and procedure portion. like we did with 1421 we need to figure out how the department is going to man this project. it's my understanding, it's going to be lot of work. they have to figure out how they will staff it and provide the record. >> president cohen: thank you. we can continue moving forward on the consent calendar.

i can't recall, did we take public comment already? >> sergeant youngblood: we did not. president cohen, we need a motion before we go to public comment. >> president cohen: all right. i'll make a motion to accept consent calendar. is there a second. >> commissioner byrne: second. >> president cohen: let's go to public comment. >> sergeant youngblood: if you like to make public comment regarding line item 3, consent calendar, please dial star 3 now. there is no public comment. >> president cohen: let's call >> sergeant youngblood: regardin g line item 3 consent calendar.

>> thank you vice president elias for the assistance there. commissioners and executive director henderson and the public. i will start my report off this week with item that has been a great public interest. that's the vaccination status. just to give you an update from last week. there's a total 126 employees who are not vaccinated. of that 25 are professional staff and 101 are sworn. 61 of our sworn employees are on some type of medical leave, fmla

family leave, military and the like. there are two medical exemptions that have been approved. of the 101 employees that leaves 40 that are actually active officers. that is the real impact, you have 40 officer who are active who remain unvaccinated at this time. the process does not change from what i stated last week. also will be given due process. they all on administrative leave. they are not working in any department facility as of now. as of the deadline, which is october 13th midnight. with the city mandate and the health order and the city's policy on this, those that aren't exempted or unvaccinated will be discommissioned.

that is where we are as of today. i will keep the public and the commission posted as this progresses. has gone down significantly from where it was three weeks ago. we'll see what happens next week. i'll keep the commission posted at the next meeting. in terms of crime. homicides we are up 7%. good news, the gap is closing as far as the year to date percentage increase. we had 44 year to date compared to 41 at this time last year. robbery down 4%, 17 neurorx 1794 andassaults are up 8%.

that's 1862. human trafficking cases are up by 7%. there's a total overall increase violent crimes 1%. 3882 this year. in terms of property crime, there's continuing better news to report. burglaries are still on down tick. vehicle thefts are down 1%. which is good news. that's opposite of a trend a other major cities are seeing.

we put out some strategies on those two particular areas. we're seeing some improvements at least less heart breaking. we had good outcomes as far as strategies that we put in place that we still have a lot of work to do to make that situation much better than what it is currently. we look at our auto burglaries compared to 2019 and 2018, we down 25% compared to 2019. we're down 28% compared to 2018. on burglary, we're down to 1% compared to last year, we're up

47% compared to 2019 and we're up 25% compared to 2018. majority of those burglaries are residential active burglaries. gun violence, the gap is closing which is a piece of good news. we're at 176 gun related violent incident this year compared to 125. that is 19% increase from this time last year. that is actually that's down from aggravated assault. that number was shrinking from a few months ago which is good news. our shooting, we have 143 this year compared to 100 last year.

our homicides and firearms we have 33 this year compared to 25 last year, 32% increase. when we look at stations that are -- gun related with shooting. tenderloin had most significant increase. bayview number has decreased, which is good news compared to where we started the year and where we were this spring. in terms of homicides by district, the most significant increase the bayview district.

in terms of decrease. the biggest demographic is ingle side who had eight homicides from last year. tenderloin are down from one from last year. in term -- ghost guns, that slowed down from where it was earlier in the year. we seen 115 year to date. that slowed down somewhat. we are still finding and seizing

ghost guns from the street which is a problem. the significant incidents for the weak report. there are two shootings. one that i reported last week. it actually happened last week that monday, i believe. this was within the tenderloin and goldengate in the central district hyde. all of the injuries were non-life threatening. there was video evidence between the two groups. it was a shootout in the streets. two people would have been arrested and booked for this case and investigation still ongoing. there's another shooting at

goldengate and market. this was october 16th at 3:22 p.m. victim, 29-year-old male and 16-year-old female was struck by a gunshot by an unknown person. our preliminary investigation basically revealed that the male victim was involved in some type of altercation with a potential suspect prior to the shooting. the victims have no relation to each other as far as we know. one victim multiple gunshot wounds to the lower extremities and upper areas. two of the victims were transported. a felony warrant from potential

unrelated incident was discovered. that suspect is now in the hospital from his incident and is custody in the hospital. more to follow on that. there's a lot more to do on this investigation. other significant incident, the 911 with report of two men placing an assault rainfall in the truck trunk of a car. caller provided descriptions of the two individuals. the officers located the vehicle they discovered it was stolen. the two suspects were located at mason and turf. suspects were detained.

the video shows the suspect pulling the object out their pocket. the video was not clear enough to tell whether or not that item was a firearm. the victim told the school staff that the three subjects showed up at their house, the victim did not open the door. they believe it was people that assaulted the victim at the school. the school staff requested officer for the remainder week of the school. we did fulfill that request. there was no other incidents associated with this at this time. there's an assault at columbus and gibbs. the victim was a 71-year-old female who was hit in the face by a subpoena without

provocation. the incident may be related to an incident earlier that day. the victim finished walking and resting when a person approached him with a knife and then eventually stabbed him in the chest. central district personnel working with -- [ indiscernible ] for follow-up. at this point no arrests have been made. these cases that have not been filed, we are looking for the public's help. last significant incident as far as crime, there was three incidents just occurred at 75 industrial, 1415 indiana and in the bayview. those are the locations of three

marijuana dispensaries which were burglarized overnight on october 17th. review of surveillance videos indicate that it was the same individuals that's in the same vehicle that was involved in all three incidents. that information is being followed up on. we have not made an arrest. we do have evidence to follow up on this case. >> you said three dispensaries or rows? which are they? >> they were dispensaries. >> president cohen: three dispensaries by the same group of people? >> yes. based what's on the video. >> president cohen: thank you. >> there were no side shows to report this week.

that is good news. there was very unfortunate traffic fatality at van ness and mcallister. a muni driver was traveling on van ness they saw a female throwing construction items in the street. the muni driver stopped. the driver pulled out into traffic and continue a short distance to avoid contact with the lady. the driver saw the lady lay down in the street and the driver contacted her dispatch regarding the incident. concerned about the welfare of the woman, the muni driver exited the bus, walked back to the woman, placed safety cones from the construction site around the woman to warn drivers that --

[ indiscernible ] after the cones were placed, a silver suv turned on to mcallister and sadly ran over the woman. muni driver was partially able to get -- [ indiscernible ] that investigation is ongoing as well. our deployment in the tenderloin we believe is helpful.

that department will continue. we have officers in other districts at the goldengate and others where we were hit hard with car break-ins and the tenderloin deployment. we extended that coverage to 3:00 in the morning. we made some environmental requests to block ooff the area to make it harder for people to do some of the things they are doing. our officers are also deployed. it's effective when we're there. when we leave, we can have the problem reoccur. that's a challenge. we'll continue to deploy. other thing like to say with the

tenderloin, long investigation on narcotics there. some of supplying the streets with significant amount of heroin and cocaine. there were 19 arrests on this felony charges. there will be federal indictments and that investigation is still ongoing. there's more work to be done on that. that happened within the past week. there's one other thing. i like to highlight, officers will be assigned to the business corridor. their task will be to engage

with the merchants and residents and maintain visible presence. this is going to be three-month assessment or project. we'll see how we are done in terms of reducing time. this is a 3-month process. that is it for my report. thank you. >> president cohen: thank you. interesting report, chief. lot of stuff that's happening out there. still lot of news stories about break-ins. i was wondering if you had any

interpretation of the data? what part of your strategy is working and where it needs to be augmented. >> i think what's working is the presence in areas where we had identifiable crime trend. the car break-ins in central district, northeast, really high traffic tourist areas. we also made -- good arrests. one of the things president cohen that's a struggle is even though we have increased our

deployment, we can't everywhere at all times. sometimes when the shifts are over where there's officers on the street, we do see uptick in crimes. when there's nothing to steal -- we've seen some success with that. we'll continue to do that community engagement. we have signage in the area just to remind people. we have that in along the highway.

the other side of it with the enforcement side, is time assuming and challenging. we have officers patrolling the area. when the officers run the plates, you have suspected car burglar. we've been able to apprehend some people. we'll continue to do that. >> president cohen: great. i want to acknowledge the work that you're doing and the work that the p.o.a. doing to increase the number of officers vaccinated. fantastic. that's really good to hear.

we were really nervous about the number of officers that not in compliance with the request to help mandate. i know that's a team effort. [ indiscernible ] >> that is quite bit of fentanyl we seized it doesn't take lot of fentanyl to be deadly.

that amount of drugs gets on the street, people lives are at risk. that's our focus. we are seizing lot more fentanyl year to date. i think it helps. it's hard to quantify -- you don't know what you don't know. when it's not on the streets, we have much better chance of people not dying from it. we'll continue to work at that. >> president cohen: that's good to hear. appreciate that.

>> that is correct. the d.e.a. along with the u.s. attorneys office. these types of investigations you really have to -- continue to address it. we have to stay at it and be consistent in our efforts to combat this problem. which is a huge problem inent tenderloin. but in the city. >> president cohen: i want to to dominate the commission. we have commissioner yee has a few remarks. >> commissioner yee: my first question regards to the officers off payroll for noncomplains for the vaccination.

is that a suspension? what would that be classified as? >> as of now, they are on administrative leave, paid administrative leave. they have been removed from their assignments. they are not allowed to come in city facilities because they are unvaccinated. that tame will run out 30 days from the first day of deadline day. the officers will be given an opportunity for due process hearing to hear them whether or not their pay should be cut.

they can be suspended without pay. >> commissioner yee: after the 30 days administrative leave, there will be probably suspension. would that looking at terminations? >> let me correct it. it will be unpaid administrative leave. >> commissioner yee: i want to comment on the shooting for october now. i think it's way down. i'm looking at shooting compared to last year. we're two thirds into october.

i want to talk about the car break-ins too. the car break-ins, i like to get some data on it. regardless to the car that were broken into or i guess out of town residents. second is which these cars are rental compare.

>> we do have data on the rental car. i can get that you. >> commissioner yee: i took a drive down there today. it's rather nice. i think it's better. there have been some of the people that worked there.

that's helping us in that area. there's still more work to be done. thank you for all your hard work. >> thank you. >> president cohen: commissioner byrnes? >> commissioner byrne: of the officers on leave how many are lieutenant? you have to. i believe there may be one.

byrne mowed mill how does it affect officers how on patrol. were you able to compensate for it? >> we had to reassign officers naming some of their administrative signs. things are tight now. we've been able to officer we still have to do some recall place -- there are a number of officers who-delights.

it's tight now. we have made some assignments. >> they were originally tenderloin officers. since we were doing so much of our narcotics work in the tenderloin, we dilled them to the narcotics unit. we've been looking at those type of assignments, we have to keep control of it.

that's helping look at this. >> commissioner byrne: some of the reporting officers received at least one dose of the vaccine? >> not the 40. there's another group of officers who were partially vaccinated. they were not able to come back to work until they are fully vaccinated. >> commissioner byrne: how many are on partially vaccinated. there's 90 officers now that are no longer -- they're on administrative leave right now?

>> that is correct. >> commissioner byrne: i noticed, they call mobile command centers. there was one of them on the corner of eddy and -- market. >> there was a reason for that. couple of things, it's basically it serves as a field command post. we had lineup there. officers are dispatched. they are given their instructions there. they go to wherever they will go in the tenderloin and union

square as well. not all the time. the presence of that vehicle being there, along with officers either on foot beat in that area, tend to make a difference with people seeing that police are in the area. it's a determinant factor as well. >> commissioner byrne: why was corner of eddie and larkin chosen? >> between the captain and operational command, depending on what's happening, whether it's drug dealing or violent

crime, we usually place it in areas where we have conditions we trying to make better. that's one of the locations where we have had some issues between some of the violent crimes that's happening in that area, community complaints >> commissioner byrne: isn't most of the drug dealing centered around turk and hyde? not that they are more advantageous. >> what we -- turk and hyde is ultimate with of the locations. we've had cars parked out there. we had officers parked there and the drug dealers go to the next slot why we are not.

>> commissioner byrne: in your violent crime report, there was an assault at goldengate and hyde. there's been previous shooting there two weeks before. i understand the corner of eddie and larkin, i understand it's not safest part of san francisco, if you're going to put one of the them there, you indicated as a deterrent, wouldn't it be where the violent crime and drug dealing going on? i'm not saying there isn't going on. even in your own report, it's down around that goldengate turk and hyde street. that's your own report. i was just curious why it was

placed there? seems to me if it was placed around goldengate or around or turk hyde it would have more deterrent effects. >> the thing that you have to consider, there are other thick going on. other strategies. lot of this is strategic. if you have a plane close operation going on, you get on your van now. wherever we put the van, we kind of know the corner where people go. there may be other operations going to deal with that corner while the van is on this corner. it's really strategic. it's not the one thing and other

things going on. >> commissioner byrne: there's still open drug dealing going on on the area i just spoke about. >> there's drug dealing. the officers out there buying the drugs to make the arrest. it is strategic. there is a lot of moving parts what we're trying to do in tenderloin in plain clothes. there's visibility and you have to marry the two together. >> commissioner byrne: thank you. >> president cohen: thank you.

i appreciate that robust discussion. no other names. we can move on. chief, good job. >> thank you. >> president cohen: please call the next item? >> sergeant youngblood: public comment regarding line item 4 chief's report. please dial star 3 if you like to make public comment. there's no public comment. we'll move forward to line item 5. department of public health director's report. discussion. report on recent department of public health activities and announcements department of public health's report will be limited to a brief description of department of public health activities and announcements. commission discussion will be limited to determining whether to calendar any of the issues raised for a future commission

meeting. >> i want to you to feel needed and seen. thank you. let me give you some of the stats where we are with d.p.a. there's a lot going on right now. we are at 655 cases have been open so far this year. this by the way, is -- sorry, we're at 637 cases this year. in terms of cases that have been closed, it's 723 so far. we have 273 cases that are open and pending now.

we have sustained 39 cases so far this year. that's up from 35 cases. at the same time last year. we have 23 cases who's investigations gone past nine months. there are 33 cases so far this year that have been mediated and of the 23 cases that are beyond the nine month investigation, 18 of those cases are -- [ indiscernible ] we have number of cases that are still with the commission. that's 14. there are a number of cases still awaiting the chief's decision. that's 15. this week in d.p.a. we received 16 cases came through the department with a total of 38 separate

allegations, 38% of them were for an officer alleging behaving or speaking inappropriately, 13% were involved in an officer making an arrest without cause, 13% for an officer engaged in an equal treatment. 14% for an officer alleging they detained without suspicion. 6% for an officer that failed to mirandize the suspect. in terms of the summaries that these allegations were surrounding, one of them a call for service for an assault. one of them involved a search of a resident. one involved a citation issued allegely and inaccurately.

one of those incidents was broad neighborhood dispute. in terms of the audit, i'm trying to give you guys little more color about the audit. it is better to see from the public. i want people to understand the award-winning audit process. when the audit comes out, people know a little bit about what we're doing and how the process works which is why i'm talking g about it. the current audit, the police department in how they handled officer misconduct is in its survey phase. during the phase, the auditors conduct information gathering to obtain an overview. that part of the phase is being

performed just by the staff but also in partnership with the office of controller, city service, auditor acquisition. some of the work that is being done and compiled by the d.p.a. is also in partnership with some of the outside offices within the city of san francisco. in terms of outreach, some of the expanded distribution took place this week. we delivered several hundred of the know your rights brochure. multiple languages through the main library on market street. some of that information is available. lot of people get a lot out of the know your rights brochure. that information includes information about how to work with d.p.a. and contact d.p.a. directly. if agencies are interested, feel free to reach out to d.p.a.

the department is -- we maintain as the essential workers throughout the pandemic. but being consistent with the rest of the city family, opening up their doors, we are expanding our office active participation and glees are -- employees are coming back in the office starting on november 2nd. we are obviously in compliance with all of the city rules about vaccinations and office work. if folks want to get in contact with the office and our agency,

it's on the website at sfgovtv.org/dpa. the information from the consent file is filed available online both for the commission and on the website for d.p.a. that concludes my presentation. >> president cohen: thank you very much. do you have update on information sharing between departments and d.p.a.? >> some of the information coming from benchmark analytics. i'm extremely optimistic about what that process is going to

look like and how that information is going to be shared. some of the sticks points now -- i met with benchmark analytics this week about what that process will look like. in terms of sharing the information, i'm excited about what's happening and how it's going to be available. the issue is always in the details. we need to drill down little bit further on what that bridge is going to look like. the bench analytics does not necessarily speak to our software. that really has been my focus this week. >> president cohen: we'll see a letter, written agreement between the departments.

>> with benchmark analytics or generally? >> president cohen: information sharing between the department and d.p.a. i thought we were expecting to see letter of agreement at some point. >> that may be one in the process. if we alluded one in the past, it's probably being worked on by my team. i don't have an update on it offhand. >> sharon woo told us about it. i never seen an m.o.u. >> it was with the department on disciplinary matters? is the information about when decisions have been made in forming the d.p.a.? i know about that issue. part of the problem was -- i

know about that issue. that was the issue about having our information when discipline takes place, often times it takes weeks and months sometimes not at all when decisions have been made as it relates to discipline. when we talked about it, we spoke about trig to drill down on how that information could be shared more effectively. part of the problem, that discipline sometimes take place -- the discipline that takes place isn't localized. spread out amongst divisions and individuals. i don't know what the solution is. the chief might be able to add more information on what the next steps are.

i think that's what you're talking about. >> you guys made a presentation. it was about work being done to fix the issue. i thought it would be memorialized in document. i could be wrong. [ laughter ] >> that presentation that we brought up, the d.p.a. brought up. the accountability matrix so that didn't get lost or fall off our radar. i'm eager and would love at any point to reintroduce that on adoption. that whole measure was to make sure we aren't having conversations or raising issues we are not sure. we can track it on the matrix on what the status was. we can make that part of the

commission. i think that's what it was. i'm happy to reintroduce that measurement or show the model again. i'm open to having it addressed to be as functional as the commission would like it to be. that's the model that they already use in alameda county. >> president cohen: i will have them follow-up with you directly.

colleagues are any other questions. seeing none. >> i want to ask director henderson to include the issue of -- i think that it was part of that m.o.u. to ensure that the department is giving you the results of the cases. i know that in your report, there were several missing spots of information. because the department wasn't providing you with outcomes of discipline cases. second part is the fact that d.p.a. isn't receiving or sometimes not having access to prior discipline cases or officer's record when they have an open case. typically they ask for any priors so they can inspect whether or not those priors should be used in aggravation or

mitigation. it's my understanding that information is not always readily available to your department or attorneys. i know a.c. moser was working on it. i don't know where we landed on that. if you can also include that in the conversation and get an answer and follow-up, i thinks that is important that your attorney who are bringing charges in these difficulties have access to that information. that information does nighed to be proud to the d.p.a. >> why don't i present on that on the next police commission? those are two important things. both on the outcome of discipline. part of issue was raised initial it will in a resolution from the henderson report that we created to inform the department about

every open and ongoing case that we had that came in. not being able to receive reciprocity for that information to inform us how to proceed on our cases. i'll present on it at the very next -- diane will present on it on where we are at the next police commission. i welcome that opportunity. we can talk about the matrix that accountability matrix as well. if you're interested. you'll have guideline of everything that's kind of floating that we're waiting for response on as well. >> president cohen: thank you. any other questions? let's keep moving forward.

>> sergeant youngblood: public comment regarding line item 5, d.p.a. director's report. dial star 3 to make public comment now. there's no public comment. we can move forward to line item 6, commission reports discussion. commission reports will be limited to a brief description of activities and announcements, commission discussions will be limited to determining whether to calendar any of the issues raised for future commission meetings. commission president's report, commissioner's reports, commissioner announcements and scheduling of items identified for consideration at future commission meetings. action. >> president cohen: great. i don't have anything to report out on.

other than the scheduling of chair of public safety is in process. that's the stept that i have to report out. i remember last week, commissioner elias indicated she'll have something for us this week. let's pivot to you. >> vice president elias: thank you commissioner cohen. we are still in the process of figuring out how to handle these discipline cases with respect to the vaccinations. unfortunately, we don't have enough data at this point. hopefully at the next meeting, we'll have more information. at this point, what i like to do is to ask to agendize few things. one of the things that i think was phenomenal that you did last time was ask pub for in-- public for input on certain aspects what we do and what they like to

see on our agenda. what i like to do is ask the department to present to us on what they are doing it maintain or boost morale with respect to the officers within the organization. i like to know what the department is doing with the morale. i like to mow how -- know how the department is getting officers to buy into the reform efforts and the organizational changes that the department is currently going through. how is the command staff and management supporting officers, the rank and file, to ensure they are provided the resources and support they need. i know they have the b.s.u. unit, which is behavioral science university. what is management doing to

further supplement what is needed from the officers? the other thank i would like to agendize, i would like to have the department come and give an update on the sparks report and address the misinformation that was presented in the report. i like the department to respond to questions that the community raised during public comment. i like to know what the department doing to ensure the accuracy of these reports moving forward. since we had several reports with various inaccuracies. like to know what the department is doing to ensure that the working groups are collaborative and inclusive. why or if d.p.a. is being excluded from the working groups what the department doing and what the rationale is for it. may be there is a good reason. i like to find out.

i like to know what is doing in terms of making these working groups collaborative and inclusive to the public. and why there's a sense of excluding individuals. the last thing, last portion of that, how the department keeping working group members informed and updated? in the sparks report, it appeared the juvenile working group was on track when in fact, they hadn't met since march. it's now october. what the department doing to ensure people taking time out their day, are being informed and kept to date and the working groups are continuing to meet and progress. when the working group stalls, then it doesn't come to us. we got lot of problems that we need to figure out and find solutions for. those are the things i will ask

to agendize. >> president cohen: that sounds great. i look forward to that. i'm excited about that. thank you. that's awesome. anyone else? mr. hamasaki. >> commissioner hamasaki: good evening. i brought a giant microphone to my work in l.a. just because of the -- i have a giant one now. >> president cohen: i love it. >> commissioner hamasaki: i brought it on my trip because of that. >> president cohen: do you have anything worthwhile to say on that microphone. >> commissioner hamasaki: worthw hile is strong. may be on that qualification, i will remain silent. on this item tonight.

i'm in middle of ton of work. >> president cohen: let's see what mr. byrne has. >> commissioner byrne: thank you. i was texting commissioner yee, tentative date, to meet with chief scott concerning the tenderloin and the changes in tenderloin. krill talk to commissioner yee.

i'm hopefully, things will get better. thank you. >> president cohen: perfect. commissioner yee? >> commissioner yee: i have nothing to report. there's some other things i can get ahead into next year. hopefully we can cut down on car break-ins. that's one of the sore spots for us in the city and how they have number of stops. we have here throughout california, there's some things that i will probably be working on. hopefully it's good news for everybody.

that's my report. >> president cohen: thank you. let's continue moving forward. i don't think i missed anyone. >> sergeant youngblood: we can take public comment regarding line 6 commission report. please dial star 3. good evening caller. you have two minutes. >> caller: hi. this is jennifer wagner with the league of women voters of san francisco. we like to take up president cohen on her offer to speak with us. we sent e-mail and texted cindy

elias. you'll find in your e-mail. thank you. >> president cohen: was that for me or commissioner elias? tweet me the answer. >> caller: they want to talk to both of us. >> president cohen: okay, thank you. >> sergeant youngblood: presiden t cohen, that concludes public comment. >> president cohen: okay. great. let's call the next item. >> sergeant youngblood: line item 7, presentation of the monthly collaborative reform initiative c.r.i. update discussion. >> good evening presence cohen and vice president elias and chief scott. i'll be presenting the c.r.i.

collaborative reform initiative presentation. as you can see on the first slide during the month of september, we had 16 16 -- 16recommendations. this slide is an overview of where we are. there's 245 in compliance. we do have the recommendations left in progress that have been meir marked for phase 3.

this is a breakdown. we do have -- we do have six recommendations that were external validation. they have been moved to in progress by the california department of justice. we have no more recommendations that are external review or external validation. use of force has completion percentage of 88%. they have 51 recommendations that are in substantial compliance. they have seven recommendations that have been identified as phase 3.

community policing has 54 recommendations. they also have six recommendations remaining and in progress. accountability has 61 in substantial compliance with seven remaining in progress. recruitment and retention has completed 100%. all 32 recommendations are in substantial compliance. the recommendations that have been earmarked for phase 3 future, this is kind of a break down where the department believe it's at. the first months of that unidentified recommendations. that's the conclusion of the presentation.

>> president cohen: okay. do we have any questions? chair elias? >> vice president elias: i appreciate precise and to the point. >> president cohen: okay, no problem. i have couple of questions. when do you expect the final report? >> we do have a draft to the final report. i know that hilliard heinz has finalized their version of the report. however, stilts in the draft version until we get the official letter from the california department of justice. i did have conversation today with a district attorney there. it's with supervisorring district attorney for review. >> president cohen: will the commission to have a chance to review the draft before it's

leaked? >> yes. this is chief scott. >> president cohen: okay, thank you. >> vice president elias: sfpd is building out a system to monitor of a form. can you talk about that? >> that's a great question. in our uniting we have the 245 recommendations that are in substantial compliance. in those recommendations they are two fold. there's -- we have built that in. lot of the recommendations we

have audited for compliance. we have a component that's considered improvement loop. the department doesn't necessarily have to change anything. is to make sure we're viewing that and improving. in order our unit to make sure that we're in compliance with our problem -- promises we made to the community and california department of justice, we ensure we track it. we have several tracking matrixes and what we've done, we've been able to identify all the recommendations and substantial compliance. exactly what we're required to do. and who's responsible for doing it. we've been able to take that data and we've been able to automate it using microsoft teams, using outlook and what not. good example is, if a quarter report is required from

accountability recommendation and internal affairs division. what we've done to identify that, we've identified who's responsible for producing that report. we've identified the dates. we've automated it to give those individuals that are responsible for completing the assignment, 60, 30 and 10 day reminders as well as providing as much feedback and assistance and support for them to make sure. part of the sustainability is also documentation and organizing. we have built matrix to where we can keep the data. we can separate the date.

>> vice president elias: it's when it's called upon i would imagine. regarding the remaining bias recommendations, could you discuss how the bias dashboard has come along? >> six of the recommendations that were return from the california department of justice are associated to the bias dashboard. the bias dashboard is bifurcated in three phases. since commander ewing had the project with the california department of justice, we presented it in three-phased

structure. the department has completed the first phase. we are moving into the second phase. hilliard heinz and cal d.o.j. is implement -- complementary of our work. it's coming down how we're going to present individual office data. we're not there yet. although california department of justice and hilliard heinz approved of our theory, they think we need more time to move into phase 2 how we district that information. >> another part of this, it is our plan to actually have a unit through review the informationing that come from the dashboard.

our plan call for several personalities to do that review. we have not yet formulated that unit. vaccination issue we're going through now actually has put a temporary pause on the person who we had eyes for that unit is not in control now because of what's going on. we plan to do that. we have it drawn up on paper. unless the dust settles on deployment and redeployment, we can go ahead with our plans on that. that's a big part of the work. i said this before, we want independent review. in other words, we want a level of review that's outside of the stations.

>> vice president elias: the dashboard. where is it? when are we going to see it? i still don't have that clear picture in my mind. we discussed dashboard is coming along. >> the dashboard itself, there's a dashboard. the review process till needs to be built out. the individual officer information and what that information, how it's going to be used, there's still couple of questions to make sure that we are solid on not crossing the line between making information discipline that shouldn't be discipline. that's what we mean. the dashboard is in place, phase 1 is done. the next phase is the continuing to build out the infrastructure t the review unit.

really solidifying how this information can and will be used. >> vice president elias: how to you plan to monitor patterns of behavior that may indicate bias? i'm particularly speaking about patterns that are manifesting through stop and search data. how do you monitor that behavior? >> the dashboard will pick up trends, aggregate data trend and individual data trend.

it's evidence these stops are based on prejudice or race. that's not within policy and illegal. that would have to go through a disciplinary process. would go to internal affairs. >> vice president elias: okay. folks on twitter are asking that the c.r.i. presentation was slide and details. if you can post that somewhere so the public can consume it. that will be helpful. anyone else like to ask questions? >> follow-up question. i chief i know you're looking at data and trends i know that one of the solutions is disciplined. are you working on other

solutions to create any aggregate trends that you have which is tied to the data that we have. >> that's part of it. our strategies might be driving some of these disparities. if we see the policies may be driving some of these strategies, we need a [ indiscernible ] those trends will inform those decisions to allow us to move this forward with some information will be helpful to

make these decisions. it's part of the process. >> vice president elias: will this include the specialized unit? are they going to have that data and in terms of who is being arrested with support to specializes operation? >> we can build it out to include specialized units. basic dashboard is right now focused on the stations. >> president cohen: this is one thing about the dashboard.

it's so cutting edge. this is really exciting stuff. we're really leading the charge in this area of indicator. we have an opportunity to change the game. i want to be inspirational and recognize what we have here. an opportunity to continue to be industry leaders. let's be bold and unafraid to continue to walk down this path. all right. let's go ahead -- i just got
