30 years. i was doing product photography for advertising. and kind of got back into it. everybody said, oh, digital photography, the year 2000. it was a ghost town in chinatown. i figured it's time to shoot chinatown store front nobody. everybody on grand avenue. there was not a soul out walking around chinatown. a new asia restaurant, it used to be the biggest restaurant in chinatown. it can hold about a 1,000 people and i had been shooting events there for many years. it turned into a supermarket.

and i got in. i shot the supermarket. you know, and its transformation. even the owner of the restaurant the restaurant, it's 50 years old. i said, yeah. it looks awful. history. because i'm shooting history. and it's impressive because it's history because you can't repeat. it's gone it's gone. >> you stick with her, she'll teach you everything. >> cellphone photography, that's going to be the generation. i think cellphones in the next two, three years, the big cameras are obsolete already. mirrorless camera is going to take over market and the cellphone is going to be

better. but nobody's going to archive it. nobody's going to keep good history. everybody's going to take snapshots, but nobody's going to catalog. they don't care. >> i want to see you. >> it's not a keepsake. there's no memories behind it. everybody's sticking in the cloud. they lose it, who cares. but, you know, i care. >> last september of 2020, i had a minor stroke, and my daughter caught it on zoom. i was having a zoom call for my grand kids. and my daughter and my these little kids said, hey, you sound strange. yeah. i said i'm not able to speak

properly. they said what happened. my wife was taking a nap and my daughter, she called home and said he's having a stroke. get him to the hospital. five minutes later, you know, the ambulance came and took me away and i was at i.c.u. for four days. i have hundreds of messages wishing me get well soon. everybody wished that i'm okay and back to normal. you know, i was up and kicking two weeks after my hospital stay. it was a wake-up call. i needed to get my life in order and try to organize things especially organize my photos. >> probably took two million

photos in the last 20 years. i want to donate to an organization that's going to use it. i'm just doing it from the heart. i enjoy doing it to give back to the community. that's the most important. give back to the community. >> it's a lot for the community. >> i was a born hustler. i'm too busy to slow down. i love what i'm doing. i love to be busy. i go nuts when i'm not doing anything. i'm 67 this year. i figured 70 i'm ready to retire. i'm wishing to train a couple for photographers to take over my place. the younger generation, they have a passion, to document the history because it's going to be forgotten in ten years, 20

years, maybe i will be forgotten when i'm gone in a couple years but i want to be remembered for my work and, you know, photographs will be a remembrance. i'm frank jane. i'm a community photographer. this is my story. >> when you're not looking, frank's there. he'll snap that and then he'll send me an e-mail or two and they're always the best. >> these are all my p

>> i am iris long. we are a family business that started in san francisco chinatown by my parents who started the business in the mid 1980s. today we follow the same footsteps of my parents. we source the teas by the harvest season and style of

crafting and the specific variety. we specialize in premium tea. today i still visit many of the farms we work with multigenerational farms that produce premium teas with its own natural flavors. it is very much like grapes for wine. what we do is more specialized, but it is more natural. growing up in san francisco i used to come and help my parents after school whether in middle school or high school and throughout college. i went to san francisco state university. i did stay home and i helped my parents work throughout the summers to learn what it is that makes our community so special. after graduating i worked for an

investment bank in hong kong for a few years before returning when my dad said he was retiring. he passed away a few years ago. after taking over the business we made this a little more accessible for visitors as well as residents of san francisco to visit. many of our teas were traditionally labeled only in chinese for the older generation. today of our tea drinkkers are quite young. it is easy to look on the website to view all of our products and fun to come in and look at the different varieties. they are able to explore what we source, premium teas from the providence and the delicious flavors. san francisco is a beautiful city to me as well as many of the residents and businesses

here in chinatown. it is great for tourists to visit apsee how our community thrived through the years. this retail location is open daily. we have minimal hours because of our small team during covid. we do welcome visitors to come in and browse through our products. also, visit us online. we have minimal hours. it is nice to set up viewings of these products here.

you're watching san francisco rising. today's special guest is monique gray. >> hi. i'm chris mannis and you're watching san francisco rising. the our guest today is marquise gray. he runs out of the office of the mayor in the city and county of san francisco. and he's with us today to talk

about the recent progress of the sunnidale hope sf housing project. welcome to the show. >> good morning. thank you for having me today. >> let's start by talking about the existing residents of sunnydale and their history. >> so sunnydale was built in the 1940s for a workers. it's the largest public housing community west of the mississippi. it's about 50 acres. pretty huge. about 760 single story units one to four bedrooms. >> i understand it's an ambitious rethinking of the residences. can you briefly describe the scope of the program and hope sf's involvement? >> yeah. the work of hope sf is this idea of more than housing. that acknowledging that our public housing community, the levels of violence and poverty

that are in these communities are not by accident. you know, it's our opportunity to address a system issue, you know, that people need more than housing. they need health services. resources. economic investment opportunities, jobs and things of that nature. and so hope sf strives to work with our city systems to better serve our public housing communities. >> so recently, mayor breed and speaker pelosi toured the site to both put focus on a national housing initiative and also to highlight the completion of the first new building. how many units does it contain and when will people start moving in? >> yeah. it was an amazing event. honored to have the secretary here with us as well in our community. it's 167 units. it's about 75% going back to the original families that currently live on site. so the replacement. so i did forget to mention i

want to say real quick, the beauty of hope sf is housing development, new development without displacements or anti-displacement initiatives. so, for example, the building is 167 units. 75% of those units going to families that have lived there in the community for generationings and the other 25% are tax credit units adding to the affordable housing stock here in san francisco and those units are up and running now. they're leasing them as we speak. people are picking their units each week until they're filled up. >> so was this particular building put on a new plot of land or did people have to move out so it could be constructed? >> that's a good question. our first building was vacant which you may have saw across the street from this building and then this plot of land is the way we kind of do it, we do it in phases. once one goes in, we're able to move families into the new unit

and where they previously were occupying, able to demolish old buildings to build the new. so this area had some older units that were demolished. >> it's impressive that construction has been able to continue during the covid-19 pandemic. can you talk about some of the challenges that needed to be overcome and how the community has managed during the crisis? >> that's a great question. you know, in san francisco, if i understand it correctly, i could be wrong, i believe housing was an essential service. the mayor made a strong commitment early on in the pandemic that we would continue to build housing as housing has been a critical issue in our city. so the housing part hasn't impacted us too much. 67 units have been going on its current time line. the bigger challenge for us was

showing the families in our communities, low income families had the resources we need to survive the pandemic. many of our families didn't have the luxury of working from home, working in the zone and things of that nature. making sure they had access to covid testing and things of that nature. so i want to give a big shout out to our resident leaders, our service providers across all four sites. for those that don't know, hope sf is four sites. sunnydale is one of the four sites. and so across those four sites, the most critical thing was making sure folks in these neighborhoods which have historically have been disconnected from resources have the things that they need to remain healthy, to, you know, survive the pandemic as we all had to survive the pandemic and we did pretty well. we were able to bring back scenes and covid testing on site. food distribution was happening

all throughout the week. wellness services and things of that nature were all happening on site thanks to our resident leaders and our service providers across the sites. >> so, finally, when could we expect the next set of residents to be ready? despite -- i guess we just said covid doesn't have an impact on the schedule. when will the next residences be ready? >> yeah. things are rolling. we have block a3 and block b3 to the building we were referring to earlier. and things are on pace. things are going really well. so we're looking at starting construction spring of 2022 and that will be 170 units and the goal is to have that lease up around 2024. >> well, thank you so much. i really appreciate you coming on the show, mr. gray. thank you for giving us the time today. >> thank you, chris, and i really appreciate your time as

well. >> and that's it with this episode. you've been watching san francisco rising for sfgov tv i'm chris manners. thanks so much for watching. . >> sergeants,can you please take role? >> yes ma'am . commissioner benedicto. [rollcall] vice president elias

you have a quorum. also here is chief robert mozer, sfpd and i believe we have diana rosenstein for department ofaccountability . i'm sorry, paul henderson is here. >> pledge ofallegiance. >> if you're able to rise for the pledge of allegiance . >> i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under god , indivisible with liberty andjustice for all . >> so hello again, welcome everyone. what i like to do with two

exciting pieces of news before we go to thefirst agenda item . one i want to welcome back oursenior commissioners , commissioner max carter-oberstone and commissioner yee for their reappointment. we're happy you'reback home. we have a new exciting system we are eager to see and work with . that is kevin benedicto the newestcommissioner. i'd like to give you a few minutes to say hello and tell us about yourself . >> you so muchpresident elias and thank you to all the commissioners .and an honor to serve alongside of you and to be amember of this commission . my work in police reform and for this commission stretches back to 2015 when i served as pro bono counsel to the panel on transparency and accountability and fairness in law enforcement and after that serving on the bar association of san francisco as criminal

justice task force. i worked with the commission and thedepartment so i see a lot of familiar faces here . i've testified before the commissioner many times and i'm eager to meet on this sideof the table . i'm very much looking forward to working with my fellow commissioners and the department of police accountability and working with the department to ensure criminal justice reform and the new doj recommendations and that we have effective and pragmatic and progressive oversight of thedepartment . >> grades, welcome. we look forward to working with you, we're excited you're here so let's get to work. sergeant, can you call the first item? >> item number one: general publiccomment . the public may address on tonight's agenda or within the jurisdiction of the police

commission .our dbe personnel more commissioners are required to respond toquestions by the public but may provide a brief response . opportunities to speak are available via phone by calling 415-655-0001 and entering access code 2488 607 0246. press pound andpound again and start if you wishto make a comment .you may submit comments in either of the following ways . send it to the police commission at sfgov.org or via u.s. postal service to the public safety building located at 1225bridge street 94158 . please press star three now. >> good evening caller, you have two minutes. >> my name is francisco dacosta and i've been addressing the police commission for a long

time going back to the days when it was bryant. i find it very perplexing that our police force which should be 2000 is now down to 1100. and i'm asking the commissioners how are they going to address this important question if we do not have a full force we cannot address quality of life issues . so we don't need commissioners telling us about the penal code and making judgments on the police just. they're not going to tolerate this because quality of life issues in sanfrancisco have

gone to the dogs . drug dealers are coming from the east bay and doing what they please. and they cannot be monitored because we don't have a police force that should be doing what they are supposed to do and are hampered. so i don't want to hear anybody trying to gang up on the police chief. i'm going to defend him with all my might and with my brigade. i'm a philosopher, a theologia . educational psychology, worked for the army. thank you very much. >> thank you caller. goodevening caller , you have 2 minutes.

>> i'm a resident of district 1 and i volunteer for the black community. the following is a quote from the office of disparity in black community founder felicia jones. there's anurgency to address the injustices ofblack san franciscans . i'm going to call it what it is , anti-blackness and form of trafficstops by sfpd. i've grown tired of talking to the police commission, to sfpd and thisboard of supervisors . where is the urgency ? if the table was turnedand the statistics represented white folks i know there would be urgency . when will youaddress our spy us in statistics which is your responsibility as you took an oath to uphold the law . i am tired, not tired enoughto quit but tired of beating a dead horse. tired of our concerns falling on dead years . tired enough to find this anti-blackness urgency and seek help from attorneygeneral

bought . we understand eliminating low-level traffic counts is starting to be discussed among officials . disparities in the blocking of theabdomen then demanding the end of racial profiling for months . a black san franciscans is at times as likely as a white san franciscan to be subject to a traffic stop . this is certainly one of the worst anti-black disparity statistics since the beginning of the so-called sfpd reform the racial disparity has only gotten worse based on sfpd's own data. routine stops they cut the large majority of two thirds of all stops for its own recording. covid has proven they stop black people disproportionately and use force andarrest black people even more disproportionately . then other groups. it's long past timeto take routine traffic stops out of sfpd's hands . >> thank you caller.

you have twominutes . >> speaker: my name is susan buckman and i volunteerwith the black community . the following is from the founder felicia jones there's an urgency to address theinjustices of black san franciscans . i'm going to call it what it is , anti-blackness in terms of arrests and traffic stops by sfpd. i'vegrown tired of talking to thepolice commission , the sfpd and board of supervisors . where is the urgency? if the table was turned and these statistics reflected white folks i know there would be urgency. when are you going to address these are statistics which is your responsibility as you took an oath touphold the law for all san franciscans . we have been demanding the end of racialprofiling in sfpd's routine traffic stops for months .

a black san franciscan is six times as likely as a white san franciscan to be subject to a traffic stop . many locales have addressed their own racial disparities by ending low-level or discretionary traffic stops by police . this includes one was black stops are similar to san francisco. vermont, los angeles, seattle, lansing michigan and the state of virginia. across the nation this policy change was being enacted because anti-black racism was at its negative effects that are soprevalent . why is san francisco holding back ? sfpd has proven they stop black people and useforce on and arrest black people very disproportionately . we need toeliminate routine low-level stops by police. thank you .

>> thank you caller. good eveningcaller, you have 2 minutes . >> i'm also work for wealthy disparity in theblack community . there is an urgency to address black san franciscans and we're going to call it what it is, anti-blackness. i've grown tired of talking to the police commission and sfpd and the board of supervisors. where is the urgency? if these statistics represented white folks there will be urgency. we need to address these statistics and youtook an oath to uphold the law and do good for all sanfranciscans . i am tired, not tiredenough to quit . tired of our concerns falling on deaf ears . tired enough for it to be urgency. we sought help from attorney general boudin. where demanding the end of racial profiling by sfpd for eight months now.

we wrote you aletter january 2022 on the subject . a black san franciscan is six times as likely as a white inferences can be subject to a traffic stop and 10 times as likely to be arrested and six times as likely toexperience force . the elimination of stops for things like a turn signal because the anti-black systemis so encouraged in the data . the use of force apps affect black peopleroutinely. these steps must and . >> thank you caller. good evening caller, you have two minutes. >> speaker: can you hear me? good evening. i'm calling because of my daughter murdered 2006. still to this day this case has

officers responded to shots fired locating 15rounds . on a call was received the shooting victim had been located at that residence . the victim was in placid when he was struck by gunfire. no damage was located two other vehicles and the area that the caseremains under investigation . we had a second shooting on april 29 at 2 pm on the 300 block of church street in the tenderloin. the victim was located with a gunshot wound. video evidence showed the subject following the victim pulling a handgun from his waistband andfiring a shot at the victim . the victim attempted toblock the shot and was by gunfire . subject fled the scene. that incident is currently under investigation as well and are third case happened on also on april 29. this was at 15 p.m. at third

and casada in the bayview officers responded to a shots fired activation in the area of third and casada located 12 fire casings. shortly after a walking shooting victim was dropped off at the hospital and the vehicle that dropped them off left before it could be detainedby sheriff's deputies . video from the area showed a vehicle pulling up to third and firing the gun.people in the area running for cover no arrests have been made in that case and it remains under investigation . the significant incidents we had a response to a couple of demonstrations regarding the roe v wade draft ruling. those remains peaceful we had one of the federal building which had 1000 participants . it moved up to castro and

market and we had another at how the market that have an additional 500 individuals that moved to the mission 18 and valencia streets. both were peaceful and no significant events. we continue to plan throughout the week for upcoming demonstrations as we move forward. so for cyber we had an incident of media attention yesterday at 9:20 1 am 415 mission. officers union individual crime in the sports tower building on the exterior of the building. since that did not have any social crime he refused to stop climbing whenordered to do so by officers . traffic and pedestrian traffic excuse me, pedestrians were redirected for safety reasons.

eventually the suspect climbed to approximately the 64th floor where therewas an opening and officers were able to take him into custody safely . he was cited by security under citizens arrest and we cited him out for trespassing and delaying an arrest and that case remains underinvestigation . we have one other incident i'd like to highlight that was an arson barricaded suspect that occurred on first at 7:40 7 am on the 600 block of larkin. officers responded to an incident in which asuspect had setfire to a mattress in his room . the suspect through the mattress out of the window onto the street below . the building had several tenants inside. the subject was armed with a

knife and had barricaded himself in the back room bathroom. members of our hostage negotiation team respondedalong with san francisco fire personnel began negotiating hours .at one point he exited and swung a pocketknife at one of our officers and retreated back into the room. finally the suspect left by an opened window and several officers were able to grab him and prevent him from falling out of the window while fire was able to bring up a ladder and safely take him into custody. hewas transported for evaluation . no fire, officers or fire personnel were injured in the course of this incident. we had a brief stunt driving events thatoccurred over the weekend . they were all on the first. the first being at 12:20 a.m. officers responded to harry and maine with 200 spectators. once officers arrived that crew disbanded. again at 1:17 a.m. officers

responded to delano and selena whereapproximately 50 vehicles and 300 to 400 spectators were gathered . the officers were on scene, that group dispersed. there were reports of shots fired in the area but we did not locate any casings or damage to vehicles. at 1:49 am officers responded to the intersection of 13th and south and s as cars were gathering vehicles at the intersection doing doughnuts and they began to disperse at which time the group fled. those incidents are under investigation and finally we did have a fatal traffic collision that was a hit and run that also occurred on the first at 8:20 9 pm near church

and taylor when a vehicle struck a scooter and fled the scene. the writer of the scooter was transported for their injuries . that is all i have for the chiefs report. and i would open it up to any questions. >> thank you. i'm going to open it upto the floor . commissioner carter-oberstone. >> thank you. you mentioned officers responded, i'm going toforget the name . shark, shots fired. 15 rounds that were fired, i'm just curious in general how often do officers respond to a

shots fired call? is it something that happens relatively frequently or infrequently, i'mjust curious . >> it does happen quite frequently that we do get shots fired or calls throughout the variousdistricts . so officers do respond to those calls. sometimes they are, they do happen as a result of the shooting. sometimes it's shots fired where they will find casings and collect those casings and other times they may not find anything but it is quite often commissioner . >> thank you. >> great, commissioner yee thank youmadame vice president . i just have a question for assistant chief moser. i guess are we prepared for

that as well? >> we've got a couple of games coming up but we need to have heavy presence in the headquartersection of town . >> that's a great question. yes, we do have a game coming up. it's going to be this saturday ibelieve that 5:30 p.m. . we do have extra deployment that we routinely do when we have these games to make sure that we can safely facilitate the initial pedestrian and traffic that is a result and then certainly safely help facilitate that egress after those games. so we will be prepared as they move forward and win those next games hopefully.

>> thank you. >> thank you, commissioner benedicto. >> thank you president elias. i know you mentioned response systems in response to the leaked draft. is thatsomething that you're working in coordination ? i know the federal courthouse on the sheriff, what are the interdepartmental ordinations to those responses ? >> what we would do is typically if we know that a demonstration isgoing to be occurring at a fixed location , the district that's planning along with our special operations group that captain would reach out to those resources and contacts we would have those individual buildings to make sure we're on the same page and have a safety plan and coordination of resources. typically what we see in those cases is typically those

demonstrations occur on the outside of the buildings . and then as they did in both of these cases quite often they'll move on to arches which at which point it's the police's responsibility to safely facilitate those both with officers on foot as well as traffic, motorcycles to help block trafficso we can safely facilitate those demonstrations . >> thank you. >> great. sergeant can we take public comment west and mark. >> yes ma'am at this time the public is welcome to make public comments regarding line item 3 . please press star three now. ... there is no publiccomment . >> next item please.

on calendar so we can get moving forward . i know you didn't work on it and i'm told that it's ready or there's some that's almostready but i'd like to get a generalized the endof this month or the beginning of june . i'm going to go ahead and let you take the lead on that . commissionercarter-oberstone . >> nothing specific for me to report. i've been meeting every week with dpa and the department to discuss our pretext as discussions continue to go well and it is on the agenda for nextweek so i look forward to having a public discussion . >> and one thing i forgot to report is i had asked the chief moving forward that the internal affairs cases that we start tracking the race and gender of the officers are being subject to discipline in these ia reports and i'm told that shouldn't be a heavy task

and the department can go ahead and start compiling that data so we canstart seeing that data when the ia reports, before us . director henderson. >> i was going to ask if we're going to start with that i'd love to see maybe, of the other correlations with internal affairs. maybe they don't have to match all things dpa are presenting but even some of the low hanging fruit of either the cases coming in so we have a correlation of what those numbers are or may be some correlation to what they can sustain from internal affairs. it's hard to look at the efficiency of internal affairs without the specific numbers that should not be very difficult to pull together as well and the sooner we get those numbers more we can validate the work that's being doneespecially as it relates to reform accountability .

if we're going to start with the rate those numbers to be the least of what cases are coming inin terms of all the cases being sustained i don't think a big deal . i'm just raising back as a possibility of one of the things we could see as well . >> they're saying the number of cases ia receives as total and down. iknow they have the data . i just don't think they can tally the total yet. >> correct. i do it weekly. maybe even as part of the monthly summary to get a report of how many came in even if it's as i report not necessarily the ones that get justified but just to get a better sense of the volume so we know how much work is being done in that department.it validates i think the work that the department is doingin those areas . but i'm sure other people and i think we talked about it in the past aremoving in that direction .

>> i know the internal affairs presentation is open to suggestions and how to better present the datasince they have revamped how they're presenting it . i'm sure ia will definitely, ed mosher you can take that back and relay the sentiments so we can incorporate them next presentation. >> certainly. >> chair: you so much. public comment. sorry, commissionerbyrne, forgot about you . >> thank you vice president elias. i spoke with captain kennedy in the tenderloin and we were supposed to goout with a patrol on friday evening .obviously there's been the press and the administration are concerned about what's going on. obviously there was a recent attempt on one of the alchemy people that trolled the tenderloin during the day .

i will learn moreabout that . the good news from the tenderloin is i happen to be going through the tenderloin when a local catholic high school on golden gate avenue was being released and it was wonderful to see the children running around the neighborhood without any fear. something that we take for granted to see actually in the tenderloin again at least for that one day isabsolutely wonderful to behold . and hopefully this issue in the evening time obviously one of the students was in the tenderloin with that was recorded on. anyway i'll update the commission next week after friday night in the tenderloin. >> thank you. public comment?

>> at this time the public is welcometo make public comments regarding line item 5 please press star 3 . and vice president elias, there is no comment. >> next item please. >> line item 6, presentation of the sfpd dpa report ongeneral orderspolicy proposal . first quarter 2022 . 27 06 they shall submitreport quarterly report regarding all policy proposals . >> good evening commissioners. vice president elias, members of the commission, director henderson and acting chief mosher, members of the public i'm catherine mcguire rector of strategic management and i am presenting tonight on the first

quarter of 2022 policy updates and the discussions with dpa. sergeant youngblood if you don't mindbringing up the template first . >> so i'll start this evening by talking through a new format of presentation. i wanted to thank the commission and vice president elias for giving us guidance on what is most important for the commissioners to see so we're very happy to use this template and hone in on progress, changes, status updates and the like. so happy to present this tonight and also happy to get feedback on this of course because if you're not seeing something you expected to see

you're seeing things you didn't expect to see, we want to make sure we're owning in and getting this right with respect to the important items that you all need to be madeaware of and move forward with . so i'll start with amendments to existing general orders. as a reminder this is the first quarter of 2022 and the meaning the time we're covering is the january 1 to march 31 timeframe and those, what we have populated this with is primarily or really is those dto's or policies that have made progress in the stages of dg own development and revision. so for example dg 05.01 we all know was adopted in the first quarter 2022 and we issued that policy and it is now subsequent

to the border but now in effect. so that made the shift from commission to now department published policy. so moving on to dg 06.09, that policy was adopted on the same night as dg 05.01. it's a little more extensive meeting a little more time on implementation and we didn't want it to step on 5.01. so we are in the implementation phase with that particular dg oh and have atentative effective date of july 12 . dg oh 3.01 as you know, the policy is pending and dg 09.01 traffic enforcement as commissioner carter-oberstone already mentioned is in discussion with the department

and dpa so those are all of the amended or the dg owes that are being amendedand if we could go to the next page . new general orders.we have two of those that have been worked on in the quarter as a disengagement policy and the directors have recommended referrals to be up to you policy and that's the behavioral sciences unit for people whoare not involved in the alphabet soup of the department .so behavioral science unit is essentially wanted to come up with ways to ensure that members got the care they need and the disengagement policy of course is also discussed with dpa and where in the earlier stages of those policies continuing through their development process. if we can go to thenext page please .

department bulletins expiring within 120 days. we do a look back and look forward. 120 days and there is supplemental classification you should have received as well provides a long list of all the dg owes had expired or will expire. i'm sorry, dv and also dm's. we just treat them the same even though they don't have an expiration date but to look them up there for your information as well . we did have one that expired and i'm happy to report that the requirements for members interrogating and questioning youth was reissued as an apartment noticeyesterday . so now we are moving into department working groups. as you know working groups were assisting in 2021 and we are in the process of, well, the intent is for structural and

procedural improvements to be put in place for working groups in particular and those will coincide with personnel movements and dg 03.01 implementation. and the final page, this is definitely one area i want to slide for the commissioners is this training staffing or operations recommendation is quite broad so we have populated with the items that are really specific to g dg oh. this is reflecting what i have populated here again and i want your feedback. what have populated in the document is the training that is underway or has happened as a result of published dg oh. with that i can move to the

presentation itself which outlines dpa's or the work we've been doing in collaboration with dpa on various policies and discussions we had or i can pause here and get your feedback. >> my understanding dpa will present aswell . >> i can conclude my presentation. >> i think we will see questions to the end. have your slides ready because ithink there's going to be a question on the slide . >>okay . >> at this time i'd like to introduce janel caywood who is my director of policy to present the report on behalf of thedepartment of police

accountability . >> thank you, i'm delighted to be here highlighting the important policy work dk has done in the first quarter of the year. as commissioner carter-oberstone mentioned we've been meeting on a weekly basis. chief scott and his talented team in an effort to create the smart policies that protects public safety and curtails traffic stops. before getting to my presentation i want to remind the public that a pretext stop is when a police officer stops a pedestrian or a car based on a minor traffic infraction as a pretext to perform searches or interrogate that person about unrelated crimes absent any concrete evidence of criminal wrongdoing. these stops are problematic because they are disproportionately carried out against people of color. they're dehumanizing, dpa gets so many complaints aboutthem . more portly and provide little

public safety benefit so limiting those practices mixture our offices can focus to protect the public. so if you're interested in this topic i recommend tuning in and mister carter-oberstone will unveil some of the work with thedepartment and commission in this area . we want to talk to the public about it and look forward to that fee. sergeant youngblood if you could start my powerpoint presentation . >> i'm bringing it up right now. >> while we were waiting for the powerpoint presentation we made an additional recommendation regarding pretext stops. this was our starting point this was where we wanted to have a jumping off discussion with the department and the

commission.some of our opinions have evolved as discussions have evolved . next slide please. to start we recommended that sfpd prioritize stocks that affect public safety like feeding, red lightviolations, it and run and drunk driving . we also recommended pretext stops not be allowed except for a very narrow exception for when officers have actual intelligence that a person or vehiclehas been involved in a violent felony . this is a work in progress. we've had many discussions with the department and commission aboutwhat the discussion should be . we definitely will be seeking input from the public. west save her from the line memorial we're talking to brian cox and the public defender's office and so many people are interested in this topic of this is a work in progress and we want to hear more ideas

about what the right language should be and how we draw the right balance in protecting public safety and reducing race disparity. we also want to hear from the rank-and-file on what this should look like. we want to limit pretext stops but hear from you. what do you need in the policy, how can we reduce race disparities but still allow police officers to work? the recommended sfpd limit enforcement use as pretext such as jaywalking, fuzzy dice in their rearview mirror. equipment failure such as a broken license plate light. so in less this stop directly provides a felony we recommend that these forces be limited. our goal is to limit what we call hotspotpolicing . that is when officers go into

high crime neighborhoods and start pulling people over for these low-level infractions in the hopes that they can talk someone into giving consent to search the person vehicle or see if the person happensto be in probation . we don't want hotspot policing to happen anymore. here's why. the problem is these are low yield searches meaning they're unlikely to result in contraband or guns. we want toavoid using traffic laws as a fishingexpedition because they are more effective crime site solving strategies . next slide please . sothis is also really important . thisis , i don't believe any other county has done this but we think this next round of recommendations areimportant . we recommended that certain types of questions that are the hallmarks of pretext stops be limited . during routine traffic stops

there should not ask about unrelated mental activity. they should not ask for consent and should not ask whether that person is on probation. unless reasonable suspicion of an actual crime is present at the stop. dpa is of the opinion we cannot limit pretext stops unless you are guardrails limiting these questions and i have to say that she has been wonderful and we had great discussions around this so i think this will be part of the policy that's going to get unveiled. with the nextslide please . once again before i get into this next slide this is just the beginning of the discussion onpretext stops . commissioner carter-oberstone is taking the lead and we want to hear from the public because it's going to be a really big process wherewe build this

policy together so tune in next week .i'm thrilled to announce sfpd has introduced a debriefing order written by dpa and the working group that has been meeting monthly through 2010. this order is exciting and requires the unit coordinator right now presented before the commission acouple of weeks ago . but they're going to pick particular calls where sfpd responded to a person in crisis and the subcommittee of the working group is going to roundtable that incident and we're going to evaluate the tactics used during the incident on lessons learned rather than with a punitive lens we have wonderful people involved in the cities crisis intervention working group, some of the best and brightest

of the mental health community. we have representatives from the public and das office, department of health and department of emergency management and it's really an example of an effective working group so were going to create a subcommittee andevaluate these particular incidents on a quarterly basis . this is an opportunity to highlight some of the excellent police work goingon and some of the great interventions and as ac mosher mentioned , we cando some great work in the space . it also gives us an opportunity to make recommendations that continue to strengthen sfpd's policy and training , the interagency core coordination and data collection. it's been in the works for a couple of years so we'reexcited about this one . we've seen our incident review today so it's going to be an invaluable tool to continue to refine and improve sfpd's great cip. next slide please.

also in the first quarter in response to sfpd's crime laboratories use for sexual assaults this type of victim to a later property crime. this is as director henderson has said many times a process which we strongly oppose so in light of that incident epa advised recommendations that we previouslymade on april 20, 2020 on this very issue . specifically we recommended again the department general order 6.02 on physical evidence be amended to do the following. number one delineate the future collection and preservation of sexual assault and also to delineate procedures for the collection preservation storage, training and transporting ofevidence . so implementing the recommendations would include a ban on unrelated investigations

will prevent this practice from reoccurring. we actually have a meeting with sfpd about our recommendations that have beenpending for a couple of years . we have some good tractionand we're working on it . that's all i have, thank you so much. >> thank you ms. caywood. i have a few questions and i'm going to open it up to my fellowcommissioners . so i want to go back to the departments slide on the juvenile ddo . am i getting this right that it expired in january and then was just a department notice was just done two days ago so for four months and then expired? my understanding that correctl ? >> if i could jump in here and

explain how all that rolled out on friday night when the department was had submitted their materials that have been posted for the nextsession , i noticed that the department bulletins had collapsed on january 23 2022. without notice to the commissioners. this is a very important department bulletin that my predecessor worked on tirelessly and that department bulletin contains the recently enacted legal requirements for interrogations as well as section 90 6c of the administrative code so read together these prohibit officers from carrying students without contacting the public defenders office and get activ counsel and allowing the youth to have a responsible adult present . we were concerned that db

collapsed we didn't hear anything about. to deanna to his credit they raised this issue with us. and we reissued it. >> but only question is how did it last? i'm familiar with it ddo, it came before the commission. the public defenders office worked on it because the law had passed with respect to juveniles. i attended one of the working groups and even in the biased work they presented us this new campus did with respect to juvenile rights . my question is how did it expire and no one noticed and why wasn't the commission informed? those two questions canbe answered . >> thank you for thequestion commissioner elias . so to answer the first question, we were aware and ddo 3.01 as the new at the time two

years ago, ddo. they specified that db not be issued and rather be incorporated into 7.01. 7.01 continuously is kind of at the verge of beingready . and so the language is incorporated into that ddo. >> the ddo is in the working groupprocess . the last report you said there was a working group on it but it had met for eight months. the juvenile ddo wedon't even have it on the radar . how does this db expire and no one knows? >> from a perspective that was sort of thinking.

from the department perspective it's a loss and then further we did notice and we did make note of it and reports it and the last park meeting. it was in the agenda . the materials didn't generally. i know there's a lot in there. the need issue though. >> did you just saythat this was in last report? the fact that it expired and w missed it ? >> it was in the agenda, yes . >> can i point out the agenda for the last report was three months after it already expired. my concern is i really don't understand that. why would you even tell us it was three months late?

i would like to know like who made the decision in written directives that this was going to be added by addendum but we didn't need to bother with it and more importantly, who made the decision that the notice was appropriate to be served or given three months after it had already expired and the third question i have is really why was the notification not given either to the commission and or to dph? i want to make sure we're drilling down but we can't fix what we haven'tcorrected . i understand whatyou're saying . i don't know whose analysis this was that got us here and that really concerns me. >> if i may speak director. i want to give a little perspective on the actual order from a historical perspective. how we got up to hear and

moving forward on this. when the department bulletin was issued back in 2000 i was the one that presented it in front of the commission at the time and it was issued as an actual change to the department general order and that's how it was written and that's how it was presented whether or not i've commissioned and presented in ourpower dns . it's a change to the geo. it is the law. it is what we are required to follow. it is what we have been following and it is what we have been teachingand currently teach at the academy . so we have been doing that moving forward. i wholeheartedly agree with you that if a department bulletin of this magnitude expires, we have to be on top of it and make sure that we are putting out the proper communication to

our officers so they understand what they'rerequired to do . and in this case of course since we had your communication we went ahead and did that. i think we turn that around in less than 24 hours but we shouldn't get to that point even though this is the practice that the officers follow even thoughthis is , they are in fact abiding by the actual provisions of that department notice we don't want to get into a situation where they're confused . they look it up and say wait a second. this is supposed to be part of the general order but of course 7.01 as not been completed therefore it's not technically folded in. i just wanted to get that background and i've been in communication with executive director mcguire about making sure we put in someinternal

safeguards as well within the unit . anything that comes up that is an actual practice that we are officers are doing in the field. if it's coming up for an expiration we have to make sure we renew it or have a subsequent redundant policy that comes on. >> it wasn't amended, it never got amended because the word of 7.01 was never changed and they needed to change for it to be an amendment so that's a presumption we made and the bigger concern is if there's going to be accountability for that rule that it has to be active in spite of what they been communicated to the officers. part of the reform has to go hand-in-hand with the accountability and the issue to me though is it still doesn't directly address the notification issue in terms of when it took place for it

didn't take place. that's my concern and i know you just said the notification took place but i want to focus on was there a decision made about the notification at a later date or is the department aware the notification is a requirement that has to take placefor the actual expiration . that's part of it. second from the amendment which i don't believe is valid because nothing waschanged to the amendment in the first place . >> can't the decision because i don't know that. i don't have that answer for you. what i can as i had mentioned is moving forward to make sure we have safeguards in place so if this comes up where we have to notice that's expiring we cannot let it lapse and not have that current direction. even regardless of the fact in thiscase that the officers are

stillfollowing the tenants of that . it doesn't matter .we need to be clear in our messaging and clear in our communication to our officers and you know, i agree with you and certainly when we communicated wholeheartedly we need to get this out right away. >> i appreciate that. the reason i was drilling down on it is i don't want to fix it and it happens again next week. that's why we're asking was a decision made to make sure that we're clear about the analysis of the significance of this. this was really significant we want to make sure it doesn't happen again and that's also why we're drilling down on the notification issue to make sure we're understanding or where on the same page about that notification, the intention being pre-expiration, not post expiration because the notification given here was post and it feels frustrating

for dpa to catch something like this is the obligation on the department and i know i'm pushing on this i'm pushing because i want to make sure we're on the same page so we don't have the same conversation with another dto in the future . that'swhat i want to make sure that we're clear . >> i totally agree with you. we want to be on the same page from the apartment side. that notification is made on both sides, the department. dpa, the commission, we need to know about it so we're on the same page and i think where trying to get to the same goal of making sure these orders are inplace . that it's clear, it's concise for the officers and we're not getting mixedmessages . i completely and wholeheartedly agree on that and i will be speaking with the chief moving forward to make sure we have internal safeguards to make sure we're not giving in that

situation, iagree . >> my question still hasn't been answered. i understand we now have a notification system but my question is how did we not know about this ? how did we not know the department bulletin expired and then how did we not know that number one and number two when we knew it we left it alone and didn'ttry to remedy it and report it in the sparks report .i don't understand how this happened because when they present, when the department presented on department bulletin and department notices and dg owes they gave us the rundown of how they are tracked and how the departments has tracked them and as this information so my question is how didthe department not know this department bulletin expired ? >> i don't have an answer for you. i don't know the answer to that commissioner as to internally

what happened with those communications and why those communications either didn't happen or didn't rise to the level of the agenda but it's something that we can look into and respond back to. >> i think we need to know because my second question is after it expired you didn't reportit and then nothing was done until an additional three months later ? why wasn't any action taken when it was first made aware after it expired? >> if you don't mind, i think there might be some lack of clarity on my team's part on the expiration and then how. so the language in the old 3.01, the oldcurrent . the old new rather.that dg oh feels unclear for us with respect to dvds. what ac mosher was saying with

respect to the dg oh change form is part of what we are operating under but there's also direction in 3.01 as very specific and says you can't. you can't reissue adv alters the dg oh. you have to incorporate it in 7.0 and agree with you vice president elias still 7.01 is not in place . without the teams just following the policy, didn't flag itfor us really . so we're having them review all the dg's that are expiring for the remainder of the year and we're going to get that list and i talked with janelle earlier today about reviewing that list together on a sort of

each bulletin by each bulletin determining how we should handle it and how we should move forward withthose . >> 3.01 the old one because the new one is going to be enacted. it's all for today. one has been in place for more than a decade.the department has i'm sure figured out how to dealwith department notices when they, , when department bulletins come up and when the dg oh isn't right for amendment because some of them are still from the 90s that thedepartment is working on . i don't necessarily think that provides us any clarity in terms of how this happened or why . because we had people come to the commission and reissue new dvds or even notices us know they had to do this as an interim or gap measure until the new amendment. i think there was a remedy that

was available other than letting this expire. here's my concern. this is a very important topic regarding juveniles. and also not only does it juveniles in danger but also officers in a it puts them in a hard position because if they're not aware or if they're not following it and they're not following what they're supposed to be doing you can't hold them accountable or discipline them because their defense will say that was expired,we didn't know . it's hard to sit there and hold people accountable when these sort ofthings are happening. and it's not fair to officers . and more importantly to the public . we have a duty to make sure that what we're doing is correct. i'd really like an answer and

if you can find out how this happened and why, i'm happy that now there's a system in place apparently and maybe you can provide us more clarity on that and also provide a list of upcoming department notices. because i think it's really important . i'm going to turn it over to m fellow commissioners . commissioner carter-oberstone. >> i have one question to pick upon something vice president elias asked about . during the period when db, there was a violation. with the officer be subject to discipline under failing city laws? i guess i haven't been on the commission very long but the specifications always point to dg owes or other department policies. so i'm just curious if during

this time when it collapsed if discipline is possible or if officers don't have fair notice so violation of the db cannot result in discipline. >> i can go ahead and take a stab at that from the apartment side. certainly if we have a case we would be going off the fact that this was issued as an amendment to ag oh when it was originally issued. it is the policy. it is what we teach at the academy and it is the law and it's what officers are expected to follow. certainly that's how we would present it on thedepartment side if we encountered a case . >> thank you. >> commissioner benedicto. >> i have points about both the

dpa and department policy. first i think we had discussion about it but on the department bulletin about juveniles, it seems to me echoing what vice president eliassaid . if directives noticed this ambiguity that there was supposed to be in 7.01 but it hasn't been passed yet and the expiration is coming up the answer would be totake it to the commission so that we can get ahead of that . i recognize with a lot of the amendments going on there's a lot of ambiguity but it doesn't seem like not it's the appropriate response. my biggest concern is as commissioner that we want to be confident that there are not other boards that are looking in this state of ambiguity that are appearing on notices because they're part of the subject when dbo is close to

being finalized. what i don't want is another d oh that would also lapse . i want to make sure whether it's from the ca or the apartments or the directives there's a way to ensure this doesn't happen with other important directives and bulletins . i the work that mistake we spoke about i want to thank dba and commissioner carter-oberstone for the tremendous work on routine traffic stops. i want to acknowledge the work by community members and the entire coalition. i've met with them on this topic.

as it is critically important and san francisco has often led the way on reforms that have been duplicated across the country like dg 05.1 and i think we can remain a leader and not allow us to be passed by and i'm here for thispolicy to be unveiled next week and for our robust public debate and publicparticipation so we can get an effective policy . thank you to all of you . >> thank you commissioners . >> any other commissioners. >> it took me a while. i was reading dpoaccounts . the bit about the pretext of violent felonies. that's the intelligence exception i guess .as i understand. i couldn't read it congruent with traffic stops like duis and red lights and all that. now i get it. it's specific intelligence.

>> correct. >> i think somehow some of us older people it might be better to make clearer the specific intelligence exceptions. >> noted, thank you. >> sorry i was slow on the uptake. i understand next weeks talk. thank you. >> okay. public comment. >> at this time the public is welcome to make public comment and if you'd liketo make public comments press start 3 now . good evening caller, you have 2 minutes. >> good evening vice president elias, wesley shaper senior policy manager calling on behalf of the organization and growing coalition to end bias

stops. i appreciate the proactive conversation about ending pretext stops that's been increasingly on the agenda this evening. we're encouraged by the attention and growing consensus among this body. and the apartment itself especially by chief scott that something can and should be done about this issue and after really extensive community outreach that we've been conducting for well over half a year now we submitted our updated recommendations to this body which are now endorsed by 59 local organizationsand that's growing.felicia jones and the folks from wealth disparity have regularly raised this issue as well so a lot of credit goes to them . we believe based on the data and stories related to us by impacting community members that is becoming increasingly clear that a band list is the only way to comprehensively

address the harassment of san franciscans and we believe this can be done and we can consent searches too. these are not mutually exclusive solutions to these problems that we discussed. we have a real opportunity to listen and be responsive to the community and san francisco is ready to stop the pretext. >> up up.

>> secretary: thank you. caller. good evening, caller. you have two minutes.

>> caller: hello, my name is david aaronson and i'm a resident of district 1 to limit enforcement of infractions used to justify pretexted stops. to reduce disparities in the racial advised policing of the black communities. a black person is six times as likely as a white person to be stopped on sfpd's own data since sfpd reports that a black san francisco can to experience use of force and more than eleven times likely to be arrested. cyclists or motorists should be used solely in the interest of public safety. i encourage the police commission to expedite using whatever tools you have to eliminate the enforcement of

fractions. pretext stops are nothing more than fishing expeditions. >> clerk: welcome, caller. >> caller: hi. i made a public comment. i'm happy to go back in the queue. >> secretary: vice president elias, do you mind? >> vice president elias: no. that's fine. >> commissioners, we're not allowed to do that unless you're going to open it up for every person to do the exact same thing. you have to treat all members of the public equally. >> vice president elias: well, can we open it up for a minute to allow people to call in for

general public comment? >> yes, we can take this item after. finish the public comment for this particular item and then open it back up. >> vice president elias: okay. can we do that? >> secretary: okay. caller. you have one minute on your general public comment. >> caller: great. thank you so much. i've just become aware of a particular officer who's riding around motorcycle number 330 who is targeting people riding bikes, notably on or near the car-free jfk where they pose no risk to anyone else. it's discouraging and troubling to see that this particular officer is targeting people in this way and for that officer to be spoken to about the focus
