the urgency. (inaudible) statistics represented white folks i know there will be urgency. when are you going to take responsibility and address (inaudible) took a oath to (inaudible) i'm tired enough but not tired enough to quite. tired of beating a dead horse and falling on deaf ears. (inaudible) therefore we sought help fraup attorney general. i attended two of the three working group sessions and have concerns how the community input is appropriated into the working group. first i have not heard anything from the hrc listening session in the working group. why is this not provided in the context with discussion other working group members are have? where is community feedback? while 24 working group session held in the hunter point community room not one person (inaudible) it isn't about having a change in location about prioritizing outreach encouragement and

notification to community meetings. (inaudible) address the issue? for those members who do show up, there is minimal time to engage in the session. community members have 1 minute for public comment per item half the time of that in a normal police commission meeting. and only at the end of a session which ran late while the police commission leadership (inaudible) community engagement i transparency this is nothing more then lip service if they are not tangible improvements to the process. thank you. >> thank you caller. you have two minutes. >> i like to comment on something that i saw last week's meeting. you had the woman on who presented from the group 3030 and i thought she did an amazing job. really good presentation. but what i was dismayed about was after the presentation, you asked the captain of

the police chief if he would consider 30-30 and his to my amazement, his comment that he was processing the paperwork and they already joined up was disturbing because i thought the police commission and police department were working together, and to have the gap in knowledge that it is a little thing but to me it shows something really disturbing so i wanted to comment. thank you very much. >> thank you caller. good evening caller, you have two minutes. >> my name is susan buckman i'm a member of wealth disparities in the black community. we were of the understanding the 9.01 process will (inaudible) police are not one of those communities. yet there is a overly heavy police presence

in the work group meetings and the recommendations grid. 5 out of 9 people making recommendations in the first round were connected with sfpd. when asked about this, commissioner carter-oberstone dismissed it saying, "i fail to see how this is a issue". during the second meeting when he was (inaudible) officer who said, "can we all agree we dont want cars driving around with tinting windows and no license plates? are you okay with that? are you? you won't handle the question"? the right thing to say is tinted windows and absence of license plates are not indsication of criminal behavior. he seems to be afraid of con fronting police officers (inaudible) not aphrase to raise his voice as police

jones asking a question about the minutes. commissioner benedicto also raised his voice to mrs. jones. however challenge may (inaudible) public officials to act in a civil manner. mrs. jones is a community leader fighting this fight long before they ever thought of or desired to be police commissioners. thank you. >> thank you caller. good evening caller, you have two minutes. >> good evening everyone. my name is daivled (inaudible) calling in regards to case ooo46105-21 in regards to my mother's homicide case number 921547783. my request is for the commission to police assist me with handling this

matter as it is hads been intentionally mishandleed by the police department and police accountability department. they are aware that helen (inaudible) has misdocumented the nature of my complaint, improperly closing it. paul henderson was instructed to follow up with me she failed to do so. eric baltazar and instructing all my communications to go to him and not responded. i think it is egregious i have to ask several time said for help in the manner and not one person responded to me in a authority position to do anything about this. again, this message is for diana roseensteen to hold your staff accountability paul henderson, (inaudible) and nicole armstrong.

lawn (inaudible) even with all that, the case isn't solved. i mean, there is a $250 thousand reward and no one has come forth and wondering if the reward can be upped would it make a difference and yes we are waiting for people to come in and say something, but what else can we do in the meanwhile so we can get these unsolved homicides solved? please, i'm begging as a mother and pretty sure everyone in this-they have children and i know you know how i feel. i have been here for years coming to the police commission in person and now via conference call. it doesn't matter, but i just again i need help. we all need help for these

unsolved homicides. these homicides are not being solved yet and so the rippling affect of the homicides are still going on and people are still getting murdered and walking around with bullets in them. >> thank you mrs. brown. members that have any information regarding the murder of aubrey call 415-575-4444. that is the end of public comment. >> thank you. my apologies. i forgot to announce today's commission meeting is in honor of john crew. unfortunately he passed this week, a long time champion of police reform, a community mentor and advocate and someone who constantly provide the police commission with detailed thorough informative e-mails regarding issues that we were dealing with and/or facing.

been assigned a point of contact and we are framing out a operational approach for some of the recommendations and our participation so looking forward to keeping the commission updated on the progress with 30-30 and thank you for the presentation last week and happy to announce we are officially engaged. that will be it for my report this week. >> thank you. you reported a lot on drug arrest, is this because of targeted enforcement you are doing on drug arrests and cases? >> yeah, that and the area of extreme (inaudible) all most every community meeting i go to in soma, tenderloin and surrounding areas the issue comes up, so one

thing is to keep the public informed of what we are doing and hopefully get the public support and participation and working on the issues together. because it isn't just the arrests, it is--i reported in this commission many times, we need public support and need people to be vigilant and understand what we are doing at least on enforcement side. there is a lot of other components to this in order for us to move in the right direction, but the department and i do get a ton of questions about what we are doing to address the drug dealers. >> thank you. commissioner benedicto. >> thank you president elias. quick question chief. i know you mentioned there was a stunt driving response and that some people fled on the freeway. that is chp jurisdiction on the freeway, right? >> it does, commissioner and we have a good working

relationship with chp. a lot of communications tracking the events. they go city to city. often times we are alerted when they are headed to san francisco and likewise when they head out or back across the bridge we alert the cities and chp so they can do what they need to do to keep people safe. >> i think you anticipated my question, when is, what the coordination is between the agencies. that's good to hear. i want to ask, i think presidents elias, for a update on the mou negotiation with the da office. >> good news to report. the da and i our department have reached an agreement on the language through the help of the mediator, and so we hope to get to the commission for review and get it to police

officer association for meet and confer so that is next steps. >> that's good to hear. i believe the prior extension expiration was the 17. is there a interim expiration while you finalize the language ? >> absolutely. hopefully we'll get through all these processes i just described quickly, but while that goes on we have to have a mou in place so we will (inaudible) until that happens. given that (inaudible) in agreement the mou needed some updating and work. hopefully-i think we share the same sense of urgency. >> will this be ready to present to commission by our next meeting on the 19th? >> i hoping so. the language has been done and we are in process of getting that to the commission. >> okay. hopefully look forward to seeingt that on the 19. all i have.

>> thank you chief. if you want it on agenda for next week we need to by friday morning. >> yes, we can have it by then, for sure. >> great. i don't see anyone else in the queue. commissioner yanez. >> thank you president elias and good evening chief, commissioners. quick follow up based on a question raised last week about the increase in young people in detention. do we have a idea if any of the work in the tenderloin lead to some of the uptick in youth at the juvenile justice center? >> commissioner, i don't think it has been a significant-well, there has not been a significant uptick in juvenile narcotic related arrests in the tenderloin and i do hope we can get this agendized maybe even next week and just

show the trends of the youth being arrested and detained. there is there is increase in violent crime, but the tenderloin it isn't a significant amount but definitely-i like to agendize that to give a update and have a report for you for our end of the work. (inaudible) does public safety documents on tracking their trends. we want to make sure we compare our (inaudible) what they have in terms of-not everybody we arrest being in the system (inaudible) >> i think that makes sense. it would be great to get a sense of the impact it would be having if it is having a adverse impact and that way we can kind of coordinate with community

providers to make sure those diversion opportunities are being offered to them, so i hope it can be agendized and thank you for the follow up on that. >> thank you. >> chief, i think commissioner yanez brings up a great area of-i think we should agendize about i think a couple years ago you sent officers to training that talked about the young adolescent brain and how it develops. that may be something we can bring back before the commission and get a status update on. >> thank you for mentioning that president elias. there are i know-the dgo around juvenile deattention and arrests is revised as we speak, and i think there is a lot of research about the impacts of substance use on the development

of young adults and young folk and think the more we can engage and you know, enhance our understanding at the department ends, there is discretion that officers have about when to arrest and when to bring young people to the community assessment referral center or up to detention so i really do believe it is a good time to have this conversation so thank you for supporting that president elias and look forward engaging in that dialogue. >> great. okay. can we move to public comment? >> at this time the public is welcome to make comment regarding line item 2, the chief's report. if you like to make comment press star 3 now. there is no

public comment. >> line item 3, dpa director report. report on recent dpa activities, and announcements (dpa's report will be limited to a brief description of dpa activities and announcements. commission discussion will be limited to determining whether to calendar any of the issues raised for a future commission meeting.) director henderson. >> good evening. >> good evening, director henderson, welcome. >> thank you. i'm ready for my report. so far we have this year 538 cases opened. we have closed 567 cases so far and we have open, 248 cases. so far this year we sustained 50 cases. this time last year we sustained 39 cases. we mediated 18 cases so far this year and in the number of cases who investigations have gone beyond a 9 month period, we have

22 cases. this time last year it was the exact same number, 22 cases of cases that had gone on past 9 months. of the 22 cases, 18 of those cases are told meaning they have civil or criminal cases associated with them stopping the tolling for 3304 numbers the deadline to have cases completed by. we have 10 cases currently pending with the commission and we have-there are 83 cases that are pending with the chief. we had the conversation last week and think we were going to follow-up with the significance of the delays associated with continuances and the chief hearings. in terms of weekly trends, this week 25 percent of the allegations coming into the agency this week were for allegations alleging a officer behaved or

spoke inappropriately to the public and 13 percent of the cases were of allegations for officers conducting and improper search or seizure. the full list is online in case folks want to see the full breakdown of all the cases and all the allocations that came in during the week. in terms of the district breakdown, the largest two precincts are tenderloin and those allocations were for officers acting inappropriately and traffic allegations about driving, not following traffic rules. the other-all the other precincts, there were 5 other precincts with one allocation and the full list of all the allegations is on the website if folks want to read or see all

those. in terms of audit, building on san francisco police department presentation last week on the status of the dpa investigations, the dpa interim report i talked about in the last meeting will focus on the police department compliance with the misconduct reporting requirements, inquluding those requirements on the status of internal affairs investigations and dpa cases. so, that report will also touch on the effectiveness of these reports and informing the police commission, the public and other stakeholders police department operations and discipline determinations and again as reminder, i'm going to be releasing parts of the report, the audit report in stages, so as to not overwhelm everyone with pages and pages of recommendations so we can take action

and be more effective. outreach, this week we presented at the bayview station community meeting tuesday october 4 and we'll be tabling phoenix day which is block party celebration organized by glide. in conjunction and saint antany. that takes place october 16-1 to 4 on the 100 and 200 blocks of golden gate and 300 block of ellis and case. if the public is interested in joining there or like to learn more about dpa and work and services done in the city that is where we will be. there are no cases from dpa in tonight's closed session. present in tonight's meeting is matt (inaudible) if there are issues that

i want to provide a update on department general orders precedent elias assigned to me. so, for department general order 5.07, rights of on-lookers we expect to go into conkern concurrence soon and once it does the 40 day clock will start once it enters concurrence. on 6.16, sexual assaults (inaudible) department order 9.03 chemical testing for dui, (inaudible) 6.01 and

o2 crime scene and physical evidence. those are high priority, particularly 10.11 [speaker speaking very fast] that is my report. >> thank you commissioner benedicto. we appreciate your leadership on getting those dgo moving and guiding through. commissioner walker. >> didn't realize i was in the queue. i am really looking forward to getting together with you

commissioner benedicto. we had a really-it was really a moving experience really to go to watch the active shooter trainings and there really gives you a sense of the issue and the training we are doing so looking forward to that. i have been meeting with a lot of the neighborhood groups around safety, folks in the south of market area and then i went to a neighborhood organized meeting in the mission last week organized by some of the community leaders there. captain lazar was there, a lot of department heads were there and it is dealing with a issue-i'm also meeting with some of the ambassador groups and alchemy groups and various people out there active in the very complicated response to safety in our streets. i think

that it is true-i concur with the chief all most everyone i speak to at the community meetings the priority is safety in the streets, and so i really appreciate that everybody is coming forward and talking about it. how we can make-be supportive of suggested changes and encourage the community to weigh in and do it in a way that honors the reforms we committed to. i think the process is undergoing bringing all the partners together so i'm heartened by that. i know there is a lot of tension around it all, i think there are good partners if we have coordination to do it so excited to be part of the conversation and hopefully we will do a update as agenda item and i'll keep you posted. i also checked in with both the dpa and the

department to get a update on my list and they are all in process. i think one might be coming forward soon, but i want to first say i also been meeting with folks in the community regarding dgo522 around issues interacting with transgender (inaudible) it isn't on a list of revisions, it was adopted in 2018 but there has a been recommendation to do community stakeholder working group to get some input from folks, so i want to-i have been reaching out to community group members and folks in the community in our lgbt community to hear who we should include and go through that process. everything else is in process. there is some that

are-i don't know all the acroinisms by heart like you do commissioner benedicto but there are several in the process and some going through the process before going through the next steps. the most-the behavioral science unit, that is actually being-there is (inaudible) looked at within the department and revised draft will go back to the dpa and then we'll bring it forward through the process. i'm trying to get up to speed on the background of what is happening so far specifically rather then the strategy. anyway, thank you for letting me update and excited about there potential for really having the right people in the right place on the streets

to help keep them safe. thank you. >> thank you so much for your update commissioner walker. we again appreciate your leadership on taking the assignment and starting to move the dgo through. my understanding you are also going to be the provide leadership on special patrol. >> we have been getting updates because that is part of the broader conversation about them possibly that type of thing filling a gap that is out there. being the touch. there is a lot of groups that-the areas like the soma, lower polk, and the mission are all looking at forming these community groups to assist this process and it relates to the issue of how we approach folks out in the street who are trying to encourage

into services. i think it is a real important conversation and everybody is like, it has not been activated in a long time or talked about but it seems like it would be a good fit in some of the gaps that are occurring around who is on third kind of-- >> great. i look forward- >> we have to explain that. that dates me, but-- [laughter] alright. thank you. >> i look forward to the presentation and thank you for reaching out. commissioner yee, were you able to reach out to dpa or the department on the assigned dgo? >> not yet. i was -this coming week. let you know also working on the doing outreach to the southeast community and been reaching out to the asian pacific

american center. that is one of the more underserving communities. (inaudible) i know there is impact quite a bit out there and been hearing a lot from them. they have been calling me. that is sort of my focus. 614 i think that's the one i talk about last week. that's i think is one of the most impact dgo that is out there is the 5150 which many of victims and perpetrators they are on both side of the fence that they are impacted and how do we handle this issue? i know it is sensitive issue regarding the safety of the victims as well as making sure that perpetrators are served correctly,

making sure that they don't come out inappropriately and making sure that the needs are met. hopefully we get legislation going through the board of supervisors on that. on the other dgo, work in progress. >> look forward to the update next week. thank you. commissioner byrne, have you had a chance to reach out about your dgo? >> not yet madam president. i was on vacation in the last 2 weeks of september and there is a complicated disciplinary case that is supposed to be in front of the commission closed session next week, a number of issues that involves 4 individual officers, so my concentration is on that presentation next week so i should be able to report to the commission in november on the status of the dgo. once that case, which involved 3

separate hearings is complete. >> okay, thank you so much. i appreciate it. i'm told dpa and department are looking forward to working with both of you on getting the dgo. i know commissioner yanez you reached out to them and provided a update last week. do you have a update this week? >> i do not have anything new other then i am in contact with the department to identify which of the dgo i have been assigned require working groups. there is a question as to whether there is a specific expectation for that and i should have update on the finalized by next week. >> thank you for that. vice presidentt carter-oberstone. >> nothing for me. commissioner benedicto he myself and president elias

they set up the schedule based on inventory you have of the surveillance technology or the department can request to be put on schedule. often departments will ask to be put on schedule because of license agreements needing renewals or contracts. in this case it was scheduled because of competing ballot measures. (inaudible) mayor and another competing ballot measure from supervisor peskin which is what created the timeline of the stp and sir. the tool inventory category we are mentioning here in the first bullet is essentially kite particularly like hearing all the department the city departments have together so if we have audio tools they want to hear the tools together, video recording tools, they want to hear those together. if departments have body worn cameras they

coit approves they send forward to the board of supervisors which assign to committee. rules committee hears all the 19b policies throughout the city. rules hold hearings and move to full board. the department receive approval through the board of supervisors and update accordingly, post on the website and dissiminate to members. next slide, please. coit template. in addition to the use and prohibitions, what information do we have to put in? coit created a tool kit which they snd out to all departments and these are the questions every department is required to answer. does the department need to technology? what public safety issue is this technology helping to address? what is the technology capacity? what kindf data does the technology collect?

how is the data stored retained collected or shared? what is the prescribe implications? what are civil liberty risk and public information risk? (inaudible) be have to put all these forward for consideration. next slide, please. required through 19b, the stp developed through a public hearing process. again, 19b names coit the body that steps the stp with the sir information. our first hearing in was march 25. had questions and comments. we came back again march 31. then moved to coit with a hearing april 7. coit had comments and questions and returned april 21 but moved forward to committee, so heard by the rules community july 11. we went back

again july 18. had the verbal presentation to the police commission and july 25 we went back to the rules committee. at the time the city attorney believed that there was substances edits that required a longer posting period so hold through the august recess. september 12 had a rules committee hearing. september 20 went to full board for first reading. september 27 was the second reading. here we are october 12. i tell you one of the largest most sensitive edits once it hit rules was the 15 month sunset provision. this allows the city attorney office to remove this part of the admin code at the end of 15 months if the board of supervisors chooses not to continue our stp or if they choose not to amend it. this really is only active for 15 months. we

have to approve in order for it to continue. next slide, please. i won't read all of this verbatim. you have these in front of you. we have three cases authorized through the stp and ordinance. we have one, temporary live monitoring under specific circumstances. it also puts a cap on how long we can monitor. it also prohibits us from recording the monitoring so just essentially streaming. live streaming, it is not footage we will-24 hours worth of footage to take with us, it is just monitoring. the second is requesting attaining and reviewing historical footage for purpose of gathering evidence relevant to a specific criminal investigation. number 3, requesting retaining reviewing video footage for gather evidence for internal investigation regarding officer

misconduct. next slide. part of 19b and approval of this particular stp, there were no time limits related to temporary live monitoring with we had live monitoring operationsism officers could record live monitoring before 19b. there was no standardized tracking or reporting (inaudible) special events unit. they managed requests differently. there was no standardized department wide tracking or reporting relating to our live monitoring activities outside first amendment activity investigations. with this approved stp there is a limit on monitoring of max of 24 hours. we like to create internal ad provision that makes it clear people cannot go back for a second 24 hour monitoring so that limit very clearly through internal process. prohibited from recording live monitoring.

standized tracking and reporting requirement, captain chain of command and approval requirement before we can make the request to the non city entity. updated the form 468 to extend victims and witnesses so they can include and confirm in writing they providing us with historical footage and there is also a annual report requirement set by coit so coit will be sending a template when it comes time to do annual report. you will be cc on the annual report. it typically goes to the board but you will also receive it. next slide, please. the quarterly report provision in the stp. the first will be due 60 days after the first full quarter after the ordinance adoption. so, that's january, february, march of 2023. 60 days after will be june 1 so you see there first quarterly report. this report

is the number of live monitoring operations, the operational cost to the department, so how much time we spent live monitoring. the captain rank approval. the justification for the captain rank approval. whether non city entity approved or denied. the disposition of the cases. also a new addition from the board was the census tract crime stats so the quarterly report will have the month prior and the month after a temporary live monitoring operation tied to census tracts. census tracts is about 244 unique census tracts in san francisco and these cover about 4 to 6 block radius. each tract has a number so this map you are seeing here, each of the red numbers are numbers that are the assigned census tract. that has the race and ethnicity, gender, age, household income,

the percentage of persons below poverty line, educational attainment of residents, language spoken at home, this data will inform where we are doing our temporary live monitoring and impact it has on the communities in those areas. we will be able to drill down with the census tract information. next slide, please. these are the exhaustive list but a few publications that informed the policy development and the policy discussions we had. there is a older report of 2007 report from homeland security regarding best practices. next. there is policy consideration for the use of video and public safety. home land security. next. this is a report from the (inaudible) the community orientsed policing service. put out a report about

using public surveillance systems. next. the consitution project and the guidelines for public video surveillance. next. this is the-cant read it, the california research bureau. also put out a report about public video surveillance and is it an effective crime prevention tool. next. this is usd policy planning and development report. next. this report is a audit of sf admin code 19 the community safety program camera program. this was a program from several years ago where the city paid to put cameras at fixed posts throughout the city. about 70 cameras and this was coowned by (inaudible) mayor's

office, sfpd, the interagency project. this is what works and what didn't work where that particular program. next. impact of surveillance. this isn't exhaustive list of the publications we read, but they all had impact on developing the policy. next slide, please. the overlapping theme in the policies i mentioned related to surveillance and public policy are the factors that do contribute to disparate surveillance and racial disparities with surveillance tools and usage by law enforcement. these are factors that came up in all the publications. i department should keep their eye on when dealing with any surveillance tools but specifically with video surveillance. camera placement. that's a big factor. where are the cameras

placed? why are we placing them in those specific areas? in this case because we are dealing with private entities, private companies and individuals, we have no control over camera placement, but we did add prohibitions we would not be using footage or ask go out and seek cameras where people have a reasonable expectation of privacy. factor or public funds. you use general fund monies so you have to justify the use and be careful about camera placement. in this case, there are no public funding that is related to the cameras as these are owned by private entities and individuals. another factor that comes up with causing the racial disparities with surveillance are facial recognition, ai technology, any technology automatically identifies individuals, typically will misidentify

subjects. we have facial recognition ban in the policy and also wrote in a bio metric software prohibition. another factor that adds to racial disparities are officer misuse of system. we put up guardrails to minimize and mitigate officer misuse. they have to go through chain of command, approve the request before they can go to the non city entity or individuals for temporary live monitoring. also, another factor no misuse. we have written in sanction. lack of accountability rchlt we had a long public policy development process, took a lot of public comment, factored in the public comment. also have quarterly reports that are now required per the stp and ordinance that allow us as a department to see the data and allow members of the public to see the data that actually understand when we are

deploying these temporary live monitoring operations. and also consistent consideration of equal protection under the law. the sri and civil liberty impact associations and stp prohibitions cant say it guarantees it but factor it in. we will know with data collection and reporting is where we get the answers on whether this is a hypothesis or if these are real concerns we need to correct for. next slide, please. as mentioned, lots of public hearings, lots of public comment. these are a few public comments we heard over and over and just wanted to highlight what the comments were and what our responses were. either factored into the policy itself or into the presentation. some concerns were the cameras do not deter crime. our focus is on the deployment needs of our staff to make sure they can get out to places where

(inaudible) large events and also with criminal investigations, gathering investigation material and evidence for investigation. central locations to monitor cameras, that is a big concern. we have no central location that will be monitoring cameras. we don't have the legal or technical infrastructure to tap into anyone's camera. all the requests will be incident based and will have forms where people can sign it and show consent. also concerned that we should not use consent. we should only go by warrant but consent (inaudible) are recognized warrant exceptions and we want to insure victims and witnesses can provide us with evidence (inaudible) maybe have gathered through their own system. there was concerns about the post real world. tracking reproductive care. we have a clear prohibition on-page 2 and the correction in the stp it is page 3

in the list of prohibition we will not be tracking anyone seeking reproductive care in california or any interstate travel coming to california to seek reproductive care. impact on sfpd dgo. the ordinance it is city law, admin code. it is informed by the dgo but doesn't change the dgo. we made it clear to refer to the dgo. if we take any content from the dgo and put them in the stp that would become admin code which make it very challenging for the commission to then amend any of that language, so we made sure to refer to the dgo's. our department has to comply with city laws and we have to comply with dgo. success measures. required quarterly reports. track and review data allow the department to make correction. the success of this is we

had to comply with 19b so we are required to like every single city department that has anything in the inventory to go one by one and go through this process and have an ordinance approved. that's the big picture success measure of this particular stp, it is approved but we have to prove ourselves for 15 months to make sure that we are doing this in the right way. next slide, please. next steps. this is the last slide. policy ordinance enactment. it was signed by the mayor so when the mayor signed it on october 6 and the effective date is 30 days after that. we are looking at november 5 this ordinance becomes effective. internally we dissiminate the live monitoring request. this is a way officers get chain of command and chapten

rank approval and also the way they get the non city entity approval. this also tracks the staff time, tracks approval, length of monitoring time and results. we update 4468. include a section for witnesses and victims to sign off on their consent for providing footage to us. and also training. we have to train our staff because this is all new. it is standardized across the board everyone does it the same way. the data team is building a report to overlay the census tract on to the current incident report methodology because we dont report crime by our census tract so we have to make sure now we can as the ordinance requires. we are implementing and training, quarterly review, annual review and have a 15 month sunset provision we have to deal with. next slide, please. before we take

questions i want to give you a heads up that our (inaudible) 19b policy and shots fire 19b policy annual reports are due in november, so coit sent out the instructions for that. you all will receive a cc on that. goes to the board of supervisors but you will receive early november so dont be surprised you will also receive the annual report for those two approved policies. other then that, i think the chief and i will take any questions you may have. >> i think there is going to be a lot. commissioner benedicto, i'll start with you. >> thank you very much. i have a number of questions. first, you mentioned the effective date will be november 5, 2022. that's 30 days after the mayor's signing, correct? that would put the 15 month

sunset date friday january 5, 2024. is that your understanding? >> 15 months from november 5, so yes. >> i have that as friday january 5, 2024 so that might be helpful for members of the public to know. another point, you mentioned with the sunset date that after 15 months that the city attorney can choose to sunset. the sunseting is mandatory not discretionary so it will end unless amended or extended, correct? >> correct. >> okay. i think that was just a little of a mistake on the presentation. and then so the first quarterly report will be 60 days after the quarter so expect that june 1, 2023? >> yes. >> perfect. i know that quarterly reporting is important but i think we have seen on the commission there is a real appetite for learning about things in real time so once this is up and running i would like to ask chief you

include some of the information in your chief report as you become aware of inflation, particulary on the live monitoring piece because that is the newest and most controversial piece. >> can do that. will do that. thank you. >> thank you. i know that you had shown the cover s of 8 reports that informed the department. i dont believe those were in the commissioners packet. if you please submit the reports to look at them and put on the website for the public to see what informed sfpd development of this policy. >> certainly. >> i didn't see a report from the center for police (inaudible) was there request made to weigh in and letter of them assessing the stp or any of the materials? >> chief? >> no. no, we did not ask for a report on

this. however, we are engaging in a (inaudible) for justice initiative with cpe and i believe that it will be very very easy and possible once we get going on that for framing that outright now but it is designed to examine these type issues and think it is very much possible. i have not discussed with cpa, just saying based on what i know the intention of (inaudible) i think it will be possible to incorporate this into that process. >> okay. that would be i think very helpful. (inaudible) i think their view would be appreciated. i wanted to-you mentioned that permitted to record during the live

monitoring scenario one of the three scenarios but this is something we talked about last time. if a officer with approval is viewing live monitoring on tuesday from 1-2 at this site and see something interesting they can't record under that section of the policy, nothing prevents them seeking out archivel footage at the location at that time, correct? >> correct. >> so, the lack of report-it doesn't mean you don't have access to achiveed version just you couldn't record while you are viewing. you can get a recording of the same camera after the fact under section 2, right? >> correct. >> okay. just wanted to make sure that was clear. i also-i think we expressed our views on this. i appreciate there is-there are

restrictions about reproductive care interstate travel because that is something president elias raised to the letter to the board. i think our concern remains because i think the risk of inadvertent capture if you record a comotion that takes place you end up with inadvertent capture of sensitive information. i appreciate that is added but thirng there are problems there. i know that (inaudible) there is a policy developed-what form will that take? what will be given to officers to-i know there is a new form. what is the form (inaudible) what will that look like in terms of what officer get to understand how to implement this new ordinance? >> sure.

>> once the forms are in process, seeing where we are now, once we get everything completed (inaudible) the way we introduce those type of forms and protocols is via department notice. >> so, on between now and november 5 there is department notice and the forms, so on november-morning of november 5 officers can request live monitoring under the ordinance, or are they required to complete the training before they can make that request? >> we have to complete the training and have the forms. would not be in my opinion a wise decision to do anything before we have the training and we have the forms so we can do this right because we have to-if we don't have the forms and all that, it makes it difficult to track the things we are required to track. >> is there-the form

and training. individual officer not permitted to make request for monitoring until they completed whatever the training is? >> correct. we will complete the training, do it had form so when we do engage in this process we are ready to go. we dont want to do this half cocked or willy-nilly. >> how long do you expect? (inaudible) to train-when we first revised 5.01 in 2016 it tooks 2 years to get the department trained. is there expectation how long it will take to get officers trained on whatever it is the new procedures will be? >> if we train the entireder department-it depends how we roll it out. if we roll out with all day training it will take a while but the thought process is those individuals most likely to use it, some

of the stations (inaudible) we have people snatch and grab type of retail thefts and some of them are frequent cht those type of units would definitely receive the training first. stations impacted by these types of applications of activity would be trained first but it will take time to train the entire department. as far as a block of training. we can push out a notice and we will in terms of protocol, but actually hands on training takes longer. >> that makes sense and i think we are in agreement we want to make sure we are not (inaudible) would you estimate then that

when this is--(inaudible) when would you estimate you first have units starting to take advantage of the procedures including live monitoring? >> the form pretty much near completion. (inaudible) just briefed the other day. in terms of the forms and all the things you are working on with the departments what is the estimation? >> i did want to piggy back on the last answer. with the impacted units, because in the stp and the ordinance, the special events unit, hsu, sid, there are certain units named that can do temporary live monitoring request for significant events. those were also included in the first batches of training. but the form itself is near quumpletion. we are getting it vetted and hoping to make it so self-explanatory that the train ing

isn't super challenges, it is check boxes with approved denied, here is the reason so trying to make it as simple as possible for roll out and with the batches of the units it could be rolled out by second week november, third week of november. we need to test it also. we need to beta test. we want to get feedback from officers to see how easy it is to use. hopefully we will be able to change the for mat and get it ironed out by end of november. >> you wouldn't expect there would be even among the (inaudible) first wave you wouldn't expect active use of this on november 5 necessarily? >> i don't. i don't believe the training will be rolled out by november 5. >> but you expect by the end of the month or early december some units will be using

this policy? >> that is the hope. specifically also to give us feedback to make that form, the live request form better and more user frndly as well. yes. >> okay. i believe those are all my questions. i look forward to seeing those reports and thank you very much for your presentation. >> thank you commissioner benedicto. commissioner walker are you in the queue or is that the last item? >> i'm in the queue. i have a few questions. one is the question about the recording, which is prohibited of the live surveillance, but then they can actually request per the other channels of getting it from the owner of the camera i guess. you get the record they are making? >> correct. that was to address the issue of stock piling. there was a concern we

were stock piling hours and hours of footage so the request is about the incident reviewed. >> i see. >> 24 hours it is we saw a incident between this time and this time and want the footage related . >> it is the same process we use for requesting it currently with due cause and all that ? >> correct. >> the other question, you mentioned sanctions. is that going through the same process they do with discipline cases now? it would just be- >> yes. >> determined what the penalty is. >> correct. >> or is there discussion going on about that? >> what we have written in the stp mirror the city department discipline process. >> and then after of course all the training and the notice of this, so if--it is spelled out here. there is is a

process that the officer has to go through to get approval above a certain rank and then it goes through that process to be approved. okay. it would be great to see that form if we can when you have it. i think that will be a interesting bit of information we are getting. i would like to have that shared with us as soon as we can get that. i think that's it. it is good we are collecting data and looking at it frequently because i think all of these things we do people have concerns and the more we can show data, what is occurring and that would be great, so thank you for the presentation. >> thank you commissioner walker. vice president carter-oberstone. >> thank you presidents elias. just a couple questions for me. i was curious, what was the community

outreach? [audio cutting out] >> sorry you are breaking up a little bit. >> i just asked what was the community outreach effort like for the development of this policy? >> the development (inaudible) 19b, so the public hearings are managed by coit and (inaudible) as well as coit, so we took public comment through the legislative process. the mayor office used-the mayor office did (inaudible) discussions with a coalition of people. i think we also (inaudible) because the 19b process is legislated the approval and development process is legislated, we followed the 19b process for the development. >> i understand that

the process is legislated but asking what the department proposed as preferred course of action. you said you read a bunch of reports. i'm asking in terms of internal development what the departments preferred policy was whether you solicited community input and if so what did it look like? >> i can answer that. this has been-i don't know the count of community meetings where the topics were brought up in the meeting and questions were answered regarding the policy and some of this is along the way while all the (inaudible) talked about was ongoing so we answered the questions we could. also, there was at the request of the commission, some of the advocacy groups including at some members of the aclu and others the esf and

others, met with along with supervisor peskin and represents from the mayor's office and think that was at least two meetings. some of the other outreach-the community meetings that i attended and got in the questions about what this is and what it can do, i--too many to name. this has been ongoing and you saw the list of how long this has been ongoing but it was a topic of interest in many community meetings and question and answer as the policy developed. in addition to the commission recommendation to meet with the groups i just named and that was the joint meeting we talked about with representatives from the mayor office and supervisor peskin and

his staff. >> thank you. sounds like you had private meetings with esf and supervisor peskin. just to be clear, we are not any community meetings specifically dedicated to this topic, correct? >> specifically dedicated, no. >> why didn't you think it was necessary to have community meetings specifically dedicated to this topic given that it is a pretty significant policy change and as mr. deeds outlined in her report, there's significant concerns it will have racial disparities. why didn't you think it was necessary to go out and have community town halls specifically dedicated to the surveillance policy? >> well, [echo] let me give context how this developed. the whole 19b process in terms of (inaudible) ongoing

well over a year. there was a time where the mayor was going to take this type of policy or policy similar to this to the voters on a ballot measure, and then supervisor peskin also had his own legislation, so this wanonecessarily our legislation at the beginning. that was worked out and the supervisor and the mayor decided to work together on this 19b surveillance ordinance, and that fold under to this equation. this as pointed out is a really a board driven process. the policy we helped develop, but this was really the supervisors, the mayor office and department working together, so we did not necessarily drive this process. >> uh-huh. okay. why

is it then-it sounds like the reason you didn't think we needed to do this is there were ort actors also involved in policy development, so maybe it was their job to do the community outreach? >> let me be clear, commissioner, the community engagement definitely happened. >> right. i appreciate it came up at meetings. i'm not surprised, it is a very important policy which is why it would come up at meetings. i'm asking specifically now about having going out to where people live and having meetings after people get off of work so they are interested and can show up and express their views. i'm just-i just want to be clear, you are saying the department didn't take the lead because other folks were also driving the policy and it was on them to do it?

>> no. [echo] thrfs community engagement. we did go out to the community just want to be clear, but we did not have a town hall, that is correct. >> okay. but you did have community engagement specifically for this, it is just this topic came up at meetings scheduled to talk about any number of things? that's what you said? >> no. (inaudible) the public had a chance to both understand what is happening and ask questions and give the department as much as we can answer the questions a opportunity to answer the questions. i just want to make clear that this wasn't some after-thought type thing. this was a consistent topic at our community meetings.

>> i want to make sure that the issue of community outreach, people are going to raise it, i think it is great, it is important in all policy development but we need to be really consistenten the way we raise it and so when for some policies we have a month long community outreach process with half dozen or dozen meetings dedicated specifically to the policy topic and folks say that isn't sufficient, that is fine, it is reasonable, but i think we need to start being consistent. this is something i will ask-(inaudible) >> this is an ordinance development. >> please. >> coit scheduled these meetings, so coit is the lead on developing and managing the meetings. to piggy back on what chief was saying. it isn't our scheduled meetings. (inaudible) coit themselves are

not beholden to our schedule. they are going to schedule (inaudible) coit, board. their schedule is watt we are beholden to. whether we want to have community meetings for a month, pfab, coit and the board are still on a schedule we are required to adhere to. it is a development of an ordinance, so the public process under 19b to gather public feedback (inaudible) and rules. on top of the other meetings we have where we can gather the information, but the schedule isn't ours necessarily to manage. >> i understand there is a regulatory legislative process [difficulty hearing speaker due to audio

quality] i have a basic question and this might be more for the chief, but would invite (inaudible) to also answer. who ever wants to take it. this question is asked in the past but i want to ask because i haven't gotten a handle on it. [audio cutting out] articulate the (inaudible) case for this policy specifically what is a common factual scenario having access to live camera footage for 4 hours will stop or prevent a crime that might otherwise (inaudible) >> i can give you-you broke up a little bit but i think i heard your question. i can give you- >> sorry chief, can you speak up a little bit because i think

you are far away from the microphone. sorry. >> it may be me, because the commissioner is breaking up on my end as well. can you hear me better now? >> yeah, a little. >> i believe the question was to give a example of a case in which live use would come into play. i can give a real life example that actually i have been involved in. series of gang related shootings where information was learned about a retaliatory shooting that was supposed to happen in a area where there happened to be cameras the police department had access to. this was not san francisco, this was before i came to san francisco. officers then monitored that camera based on the vehicle description

they learned through information they had obtained and actually that vehicle came into that location with the intention to do a shooting and those people were arrested. guns in hand, guns in car, and in that particular case a shooting was prevented. so, this is real life example and there are others like that but this had personal knowledge of. those would be instances where that type of policy can come into play and again, the approval process there has to be the information for the office r seeking live monitoring to get approval by the captain, but that situation is not unheard of and that is something that i experienced during my law enforcement career.

>> okay. i think that vice president carter-oberstone, i dont know if you are freezing or have- >> i think he is having computer issues. >> i will move on and then allow him to resolve those. i had a couple questions. i'm going to ask my questions because i don't see anyone else in the chat. you talked about census tracking and i want to know the census tract crime stats. i assuming that that is-i guess my question is this, what is the tracking mechanism for tracking and recording the racial dem o graphic of those that are being surveilled? how do you plan on tracking this? because i know you

mentioned the census tract crime stats, but maybe you can explain it more because i sume that means that once the person is arrested then you will take that dem o graphic data and provide that but what about instances during live monitoring or surveilling, how are you going to track the dem o graphic, the racial demographic in those situations? >> we have to use a (inaudible) to give you any dem ographics of the people we are arresting. the census tract was put in by the board of supervisor to show what the dem ographics are of the neighborhoods where surveillance is happening because that too is important information so it will give us a drill down. we have on the live monitoring request form, we added a post

monitoring report and the post monitoring report includes information about the case disposition, whether we brought cases against anyone that was being monitored and what the disposition of that case is, so it will be available in the post monitoring report. >> why can't you capture that data when the officer is applying to the captain or his superior for the actual monitoring? because it seems if it is post that doesn't give us a true accurate depiction of the racial dem o graphic actually effected by this policy. >> the post would actually cap ture whether there was-an arrest or action taken by the police department and that is what would be tracking. >> if there was no arrest how would that be tracked? meaning if they request

superior officer to monitor and surveill, but it leads to no arrest. my assumption there is sus position in the officer mind who they are target or want to see so if that is the case they have to seek the superior sign off. why cant you track it data during that process rather then after the fact? >> just to clarify the request. would you suggest that we would put in the intelgence we have to list in order to get the captain approval that we would put the assumptions of the racial- >> yes, racial dem o graphic. just like they do for the ripa reporting and 96a reporting. why can't that also be a part of it before hand because again, if it is post it isn't giving a accurate description becauseia sume every single application

will result in a arrest. you are missing that whole chunk of data and not giving you a accurate picture. >> yeah, i understand your question. i don't know that we would have that information on every occasion in terms of- >> why not because you-in order to apply for it or in order to get the captain to sign off on this you need to list out certain characteristics as to what would be the basis for applying for this and using this monitoring. why can't that be included? >> we don't always have that information in terms of if we are talking about the potential or the race or ethnicity of the person of interest. >> i think you can put it in there and allow the officer to give his best guess, because again, you are missing a huge area of

data and how it will effect certain communities, because if the officer has to describe list out certain characteristics ta to give a basis in order to apply for this type of monitoring, then that-having a box on the form you are talking about doesn't seem very complicated or doesn't seem very burdensome for a officer to check which box applies. you can put unsure, other or whatever. you can word however, but you are not capturing how this is going to effect certain communities. >> i'm not saying it is complicated, as far as tracking of it, and definitely open-discussion how it data will be used. i think i understand the point you are making. >> i'm concerned-this is my concern and maybe-let me get to it. i'm concerned that this type of

policy or monitoring is going to happen and it will happen and have a negative impact on communities of color. we dont know that or can't track what that is by only relying on post arrest data. you are saying your concern the officers have to make assumptions to the racial dem o graphic of the person they want to use the technology on. they have to make that assumption on a ripa dem o graphic data as well so, it is not inconsistent with what they already have to do when they make a stop. i just think you can't rely on post arrest data. it isn't going to give us a picture of the entire dem o graphic that this type of technology is used on. because they may not end up arrest so how would we know? we wouldn't. (inaudible) >> that is correct.

it may not end up in arrest. i think i process what you are saying. you are saying have the information to track as much as we can do this, the data going into- >> right. >> yes. i think that could be added to the form, yes. i think we have to flush out exactly what we are tracking and figure that out but that could be added to the form. >> and also too, i would like to see the forms and training you are developing on this and have that presented because i thought that is what we were going to get today. i want to see something more concrete and tangible in terms of the department bulletin or how you plan to roll it out, what you tell officers and how you are training them. that is helpful to know specifically what exactly you plan on doing logistically and procedurally in terms

of rolling this legislation out. >> can we get it agendized before we roll it out? >> yes. again, i need it by friday morning to post it friday by noon and it will get out. also if you can sharet that information with dpa or have them in the room because that is another agency that has the power to bring discipline charges against officers and they need to be in the room to figure how you are going to implement this policy, so they can figure out how that-how to do their job. that transition to my other question which is with respect to guardrails and in terms of-what specific guardrails are there? there is a chain of cup command and seek captain approval but

safeguards and guardrails are you going to-if a officer violates the policy you are going-i assume you would be subject to discipline about what about the captain or superior who has to sign off. are you also holding them accountable? >> yes, if there is misconduct, absolutely. >> what specific guardrails are there? i think you mentioned some like there is a chain of command, discipline, but not sure what specifically the guardrails are. how do we insure or assure people that this policy isn't abused? >> there is-the plans are to have a oversight policy. this is going to be very much scrutinized. the oversight and

tracking and reporting we have to do, the forms have to be reviewed and those will have to be audit to make sure they are approved properly. there's the conversation we had to pay attention to the disparity impacts and the impact on that end. just like with any policy, the expectation of all departments for 2.01 is to follow all policy been directed so breaches of that are subject to discipline. we put the policy and protocols in place, we have to follow them. >> those are my two questions i had. i'm going to-you will give us the forms and show us what training officers are going to receive on this and we'll get that agendized. i think commissioner yanez, you are in the queue. and then vice president carter-oberstone. >> thank you president

elias. chief, just a couple of clarifying questions. it appears from the presentation that we will be rolls this out and are utilizing the same form for requesting live monitoring and review of historical data, correct? >> no. we'll use different form s. >> two different forms. >> yes. >> okay. with regards to the form itself, i'm sure or hope this will be taken into account in the training element of it, when the request has been authorized, when this authorized request is being implemented, so an officer goes out to a you know, non-city entity, it be business

or private residents and they request access to the live feed or to historical data, what type of-i think i asked this the last time you presented, what is the expectation of the officer to convey to the person that is being-receiving the request for either the live feed or the historical can data to opt out or to refuse to provide that if in fact they do not feel comfortable providing that? >> we added a line in both the form that is for the victim witness surveillance and live monitoring. (inaudible) but we added to the live monitoring form as well. they sign off

their approval that they approve they have-they have the right to refuse the request. we are making that clear in both live monitoring and the historical request form. >> the officer checks the box or they the person receiving the request is expected to sign off on the request in the consent area of that form? >> correct. the person receiving the request so the non city entity or individual. >> got it. that's great. and with regards to language access, will this form be offered in the various languages that we currently have translation services for? >> yes, we are required as a cityancy to translate all documents into the 5 primarily languages. we expanded the core languages to more.

(inaudible) we are required to translate all our public facing forms so that spanish vietnamese, tugolic-we are required. >> (inaudible) >> thank you for including that and i'm going to encourage that we also add one more check box to that form the way that president elias was recommending, because the more we could capture the communities impacted and cross reference that with the impact or outcome of these investigations i think will guide us in developing a more robust policy. the last question i had and i'm sure this was taken into account because this question is one of the more i think pressing ones is, the language around significant events is somewhat

vague. it is significant event, right? i think there had been recommendations to include maybe a number, a different jurisdictions have, anything over maybe 10 thousand people. what kind of training or what is the expectation of when a request comes in and there is a first amendment activity that is pretty well detailed. the first amendment dgo has a lot of language to make sure that we are not violating first amendment activities or people's rights in those areas. what is the training expectation or the authorization execitation? >> the dgo exist for first amendment activities, pretty clearly declined if there is a first amendment violation members have to get fid approval before they can use

electronic tools so we still are beholden to all our dgo's and that dgo is set in stone and also updated correct, so we refer to that dgo in the stp to make it clear that if there are any investigations relating to first amendment activities we have to follow that dgo. separately in the live monitoring request form we add a check box to make it clear that if this is a first amendment activity investigation it requires the fid approval per dgo (inaudible) making sure we make sure everyone complies with the dgo and make a check box to make it clear we are still beholden to that dgo with the first amendment activities and approval. >> great. thank you for that. i agree with president elias and director henderson, the sooner to see those forms the

better will be for us to digest and generate recommendations or questions. >> thank you. vice president carter-oberstone and commissioner byrne and commissioner benedicto. >> thank you president elias. one other question for me and this is perhaps a little off topic. the answer isn't ready, you can just discuss another time or talk off-line. there are a number of private companies that have smart door bells with cameras that are linked to the cloud, amazon has one that is very popular and a lot of these companies have market directly to law enforcement agencies and allow private customers to share footage with police departments. i'm just wondering do we participate in

these-(inaudible) do we participate in these services where we partner with say amazon ring camera and access private footage from their customers cameras? >> we do not. also in the impact report we show other jurisdictions what they do and we do not. on the first page of the stp it says that we will not have a ring neighbor or similar agreements so saying if we were to ring or amazon or any of the companies come engage with us through the stp we are not allowed to actually enter into agreement with them because of the stp ordinance. >> interesting. why didn't the department want to do that? >> there was-chief.

>> this is very important topic and if a individual home owner wants to provide evidence of a crime or that type of thing, that is what this is designed to do. we understand the concerns, we did not entertain or pursue that. >> okay. interesting. thank you. that is everything for me. >> commissioner byrne. >> thank you madam president. chief, are you aware other jurisdictions in the san francisco bay area have surveillance technology policies. is that correct? >> there are other jurisdictions with policies, yes. >> are you familiar with any of them? >> not verbatim but i know they exist commissioner.

>> so, depending on your knowledge, compared to other jurisdictions in the san francisco bay area, does san francisco policy more liberal or stricter and are there more safeguards with it? >> i believe it is more stricter then some departments. probably by far more restrictive. i believe the safeguards are also have more safeguards in it. >> thank you. >> commissioner benedicto. >> one follow-up. there was discussion of sanctions. so, once the policy and the bulletin notice go out, will violating that notice be added to the discipline recommendation materic

so it is a clear what the recommendation will be for violations of this policy ? >> the recommendation-not saying that isn't a good idea, that is not all encompassing. it is a very broad in terms of the recommendation materic as well as the latitude of discipline depending on factors. i don't know it is necessary because i think it is covered broadly in there, but it is (inaudible) everything that comes up in the course of review to put everything that might come up in here. i think it is covered but don't think it will hurt if we add it. >> that makes sense. it is just important to maybe when you come back once the policy-either point out where you think it falls under the matric-(inaudible) i think it should be-new

policy for officers to make sure the potential discipline is made clear and so the officers are operating with clarity on that. >> thank you. >> commissioner yee. >> thank you madam president. just have a question on the approval of stp limited monitoring for maximum 24 hours. is that for one request or per request, is that correct? >> that is for one request and again in the internal documents we like to make it clear that if there is a second request it would have to be based on a really extreme circumstance. we do not want officers to make request for multiple 24 hour monitoring opportunities. we

will try to make that more restrictive. >> say for example the private or the non city entity camera, if you look at the device and it's i guess the dates are incorrect and you search on the wrong dates would that give the department reissue a second 24 hour period? say it is november 5 and says but it is a actually november 4 on the clock, so just saying, if you have i guess devices i gez guess have a error is that noted and how do you correct that where you have misdates on there

that doesn't coincide with the application you search on the device? >> for the temporary live monitoring request members on the form to chain of command and captain and non city entity say the date and how much time they are asking for. in the request if you are the non city entity i say i like to review on october 18 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and we are live monitoring it so isn't historical footage misdated. it is streaming, so it has to line what we are asking for and when the non city entity provides us access. >> i understand that, but say you get into the device and look on october 18 and you look into the date the machine may not be actually-sometimes the clock turn off or

dates are changed. just curious if-something maybe to look at. making sure the date you are looking for coincide with the device that the dates are the same so you dont look at i guess in searching for that data or that selection of data you may not see that data there, so just bringing that up. if there is a correction that needs to be done do you stop there you notice that device is off and have to reissue another form to correct it? the search? >> i don't know how likely that would be but this is a good thing to make us aware of so we can ask-talk to my video retrieval officer and investigations and see how often that scenario has come upment . because we are asking for live

streaming- >> live. >> it would be live-it isn't searching for a collection of data. it is- >> not looking for historical, doing live streaming. >> live streaming. we ask can i live stream from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. so that is not-i think the chance of getting the wrong date on that each portal handled different so cant say it is standardized. they give access to live monitoring. but when we go back for historical foottage is for specific time and date. >> so, you say october 18 from 1 to 5. the clock on the device is october 16--you may miss data. we'll take a look at it again. thank you madam

president. >> thank you. quick question and (inaudible) you are going to track the data from the stations right? what station is requesting the use of this monitoring and how often? >> the census tracts don't line up neatly with the district stations so we are drilling down to the district sector car. what district sector car is making the request, if it patrol and what units is making request if it is investigation it wouldants be from a station. because the obligation is census tract data not district station data and there is census tracts that run through two different districts so trying to drill down to district sector and align with census data. >> i think you should

call (inaudible) 96a report and use of force and how they break it down to each station and - >> we are doing a overlay map to see the census tracts are which district stations and that will be part of the report, but again some districts-say we do a termerary live monitoring in 126.06 that might overlay with northern and with central. so, it it won't do the report the way we are familiar with it, we have to do the way the ordinance is asking for but we are creating a overlay so we are familiar. >> okay. great. thank you. can we go to public comment, please? >> the public is welcome to make comment regarding line item 5. if you like to make public comment press star 3 now. you have 2 minutes.

>> (inaudible) >> caller can you hear me? you have two minutes. >> what i want to say is that you live in a digital world and you are gathering a lot of stalling on the issue at city hall. statements have been made by matt dorsey that because he has some experience having worked for the department that we need to get a grip on the situation. i know something about this situation having worked for the federal agency, and we need to look into some of the

higher federal agencies to see how they do their reporting. because, the incident reports and the chain of command can be done in various ways, but we have technology now that have different type of fields that can be inputed so that we can make a needs assessment as soon as possible. that's what i want to say. we are living in a digital world, to make any of these discussions more meaningful we need to get some orientation from the experts. thank you very much. >> thank you caller.

>> thank you, david aronson resident district 1. i am happy to hear commissioners call out the potential this technology could be used to policing of black and brown communities in san francisco. i agree every effort should be made to document racial demoographyics and strongly recommend the police commission demand dem o graphic reports along the lines of what is reported on stops arrest and use of force. if there is no related data in the request it is opaque to the public if a community or group of people is over surveilled especially if there is no arrests. i strongly urge the police commission to continue to per sue that

reporting. also i'm wondfer there are prohibitions around activities recorded longer twen 24 hours. seems like if not sfpd could simply ask for a camera in adjacent building to be used if available that would-rounder render the time ineffective. (inaudible) which would also render the 24 hour limitation ineffective. curious about those questions. thank you. >> thank you caller. good evening, you have two minutes. >> good evening. julie (inaudible) resident of district 8 long time resident and calling on behalf of the bar association and i appreciate that the police department and the board of supervisors have cleared the hurtle of

the adminivateive quode -we have many questions regarding violation of the 1, 4 and 14 amendment. the police department came to task force meeting of the bar association couple weeks ago and presented to us. we had a number questions. our position has been and continues to be get a warrant. that is the only way to make live surveillance constitutional is to get a warrants. we were told by the police department that they don't have the sufficient training among the officers to apply for a warrant. it is not unlike a title 3 wire tap warrant which could be secured in a expedited fashion and we have offered some of our members who include

former u.s. attorneys to help the department with this training so this is just there first piece. 19b is the first piece. the second piece is to make sure that we are not subjecting this city to lawsuit or subjecting the evidence gathered to suppression motions in crimial cases and the only way to avoid that is to secure a warrant, which can be done and we just haven't had that conversation and despite the offer to the police department no one reached out to us seeking that help. i dont think we are there yet. i'm very concerned that we think just because we have past muster with 19b that somehow makes it legal. it doesn't. i have-we have very grave concerns and we are- >> thank you caller. that is the end of public comment. >> thank you. next item, please. >> item 6, presentation of the safe streets for all

quarterly report. discussion. should be commander walsh. >> good evening, am i up? >> yes, sir. >> thank you. good evening. thank you for having me tonight. san francisco police department. special operations mta. tonight i'll go over the safe streets for all campaign in san francisco. the may component of safe streets revolves around vision zero and the agencies involved in it, which include hch they each have distinct parts but it is a cooperative role with each other. mta obviously, department of public health and sfpd. stacey if you can go to the next slide, please.

stacey, i think you have a different deck then i do. >> is it out of order- >> looks like it is out of order. my deck has vision zero strategy. that's okay. i'll go off yours. i apologize. if you want to go back. okay. we'll start off the vision zero severe and fatal high injury network. this is compiled by dph and mta with the reports coming in through sfpd. they are also getting some injury locations by reports that come directly through dph which is a newer thing, so if it wasn't

documented for instance if you have a solo bike collision or tend to have scooter injuries. those are now sometimes coming in through dph through the emergency reporting-emergency room reporting them. if you go ahead and take a look you can see the dates are from 1-1-2014 to 6-30-22. and within that you'll see the number of intersections that have the highest amount of collisions. now, one thing about collisions is they don't necessarily mean the worst fatality, or necessarily even something as that would hospitalize you, but they are included in those numbers. the map to the left, the darker color so the

deep dark red are the higher impact areas. within that you see circles. those are the total numbers again spanning everything from somebody being injured in a miner collision all the way up to a fatality. those numbers again go from 1-1-2014 to 6-30-2022. next slide, stacey. so, here couple things. the traffic violations focus on the 5 violations. the overall traffic violations by the district are actually done by officers at the district level. we actually got a question today wondering why for instance richmond had more traffic enforcement. that is upon the captain of each district station. the captains go ahead and put together a plan every month

through field operations not through the traffic division, and they concentrate on areas that are being complained about. we will get into staffing a little later, but one thing that is happening through is most stations used to have a specific traffic vehicle car, so thatker would handle traffic enforcement collisions and the like at the centralized location of each district station. the traffic officers refer to as (inaudible) we come in more as a support unit. we do our own operations depending on vision zero or collision areas complaints, but we generally come in on support on those. so, the goal for focus on the 5 is what we have been asked to do since 2015-16 is have a percentage of overall

sites that focus on the 5. just as reminder for those familiar with that, the 5 basic areas that leads to the most collisions with injuries and fatalities are driving in a unsafe speeding running a red light. failure to yield to pedestrian cross walk, failure to yield while making left or u-turn and failure to stop at stop sign or limit line. those are focus on the 5. all other traffic violations fall out of that. stacey, next slide please. thank you. so, again if you go ahead and take a look at the year to year comparison, in general the same. richmond is very much ahead on their focus on the 5. i do want to point out the numbers are low

for tenderloin, if you go the high injuries cor ridors (inaudible) south of market as far as where the corridors happen. a major thing that happened over the last year is sfmta getting a reduction from new state legislation in some areas of the city. started in the tenderloin with a the speed limit is reduced to 20versus 25 and that is spreading. i put out e-mail from traffic letting ingleside, mission and southern know several mta new areas will be spreading into their districts so you will see more and more 20 mile hour and below in those districts. stacey next slide, please. so, here is a better what i referring to. you can see the traffic fatalities for the first of the year, and

you'll see if you are-if you have a chance you can go on it vision zero website and you always see a little difference between the fatalities. if you look at this fatality number you see 24 and again that's for the first half of 22, but if you go to vision zero, it is actually a 21 because not every fatality equates to being part of vision zero. so, a lot of people ask, what could that be. we had a solo bike operator who collided with something on the ground and suffered a traumatic brain injury and past. that does not fall under vision zero, however, it obviously goes down in our numbers as far as being somebody who collided with something and past. so, again, most of those areas you can see again just to point out are the areas in the

tenderloin as far as high injury corridors and the southern. mostly what we see is it is mostly people trying to get the city on north/south access or in the areas towards freeway on or off-ramps. stacey, next slide please. this is hard to read but these are locations of those fatalities in those areas. next slide, please stacey. okay. again, vision zero traffic fatalities on this you see the number does not correspond to the original number of 24 and again 19. one thing we are seeing and one of the hardest things to stop has been the stand up power device riders. two and three of those

and again this is a loss of life and not to cast blame but express the difficulty of trying to get to vision zero, two of the three happen to have run the red lights when they collided. so, again, not casting blame or anything like that, but one thing that reaches out into the educational area, which i think we find difficult. a lot of people want us to concentrate solely on vehicles but there are occasions we have to educate or intervene through enforcement whether bike or scooter rider or pedestrian. the pedestrians are number one casualty as you can see in most of these and mostly people in crosswalks and mostly running red lights or missing them within a turn. next

slide. again, this is just bar graph of the both of those year over year. we are ahead in pedestrians unfortunately this year. the stand up powered is clearly again something new. we are seeing more and more people on them. they are easy to rent, easy to pick up and we are going to have to do a lot of education and you probably will see more on the road. if any are familiar with the demonstration three months ago most of the companies are trying to put technology that prevent the vehicles from going on the sidewalk so you will see more of these scooters stand up unicycle motorized on the streets. slide 9 please. again, here is the references. again not all these

are vision zero which are the top 5, but these are the codes that we generally see happening with collisions involving vehicle to vehicle vehicle to pedestrian, any combination you can think of. next slide, stacey. i do want add one thing before we get to questions because i know what peaked interest was a article that came out in regards to our staffing. i just would like to clarify some of that information. so, in 2019 i'm going to traffic enforcement aspect of what's under mta. the issue that has come out is not everybody that works under sfpd, mta is in traffic enforcement. at this time we have 47 people in mta. i

count as a sworn officer as one of them. i'm not on a motorcycle enforcing. i have a captain, i have lieutenants et cetera. so, on our traffic enforcement side of those 47, we have 32 people which includes the captain, 4 lieutenants 3 sergeants and 22 officers who are actually involved in enforcement. enforced squads separate and bifurcate a week to day watch squads that overlap on wednesday and swing swatch and those are not the numbers pushed out. this is not the only thing they do is enforcement. they do everything from escorts when we have dignitaries and help with stunt driving respaunsand high visibility patrol. one main thing we have been doing which ends at the end of the month is dedicate

motorcycle officers (inaudible) to different areas of the city. for instance, the tenderloin they are there in the mornings and afternoon and part of safe streets with the children walking to and from schools. we had them deployed out to the ingleside district with a rash of shootings on geneva and outside sunny dale housing project. not for traffic stops but to have a presence. these officers are spread throughout the city on different shifts and in 2019 there were 5 squads of motorcycle officers and then two specific squads on top of that that were solely doing vision zero enforcement. those numbers reduced moving into 2020. we had 7 sergeants, 45 officers. that was the total of the 5 squads and 2 vision

zero squads. wnts to 5 and 35 in 2020. 5 squads, those numbers reduced by about 2 sergeants and 10. moving into 2021, we dropped down to 2-4 squads and no vision zero based on staffing. those officers on vision zero did not handle collisions or go on fatalities or on the- a lot of serious injury collisions. move nothing to 22, we are now down to roughly 32, again that includes the captain, lieutenants, et cetera with 22 officers full duty, 2 are out on leave. our numbers have been drastically reduced in those areas. i'm happy to answer any questions.

>> thank you commander walsh for the presentation. vice president carter-oberstone. >> thank you for the presentation. just wanted to ask about slide number 4, and about the-pretty significant variance from one district station to one. one neighborhood to another in terms of the percentage of staff that are focused on the 5. wnder if you can speak to why that is. >> yes, if you can put that up please. these are raw percentages so

i would be giving you a answer that i can't prove-it is like proving a negative. if you look at the stations and the amount of traffic they do and compare to the types of the number of staffing they have and the types of calls for service for self-initiating activities, those numbers are less then a busier station. tenderloin you have this hundred percent, the actual number is probably minuscule as far as the tickets they have written. also, as far as what the officer sees, so the officer-unless the captain is directing their officers to go to a certain location for vision zero type tickets, if those activities don't happen in front of the officer who may be between calls for service they will not stop for that violation. that would be the best information that i could give you.

again, it is based on the deployments. we are deploying officers when available from traffic to go to certain areas to go ahead and get that data. or get those stops. but, one of the other things i like to point out and give anecdotally while at a mta meeting with hays valley 6 months ago, the biggest complaint wasn't the vision zero, it was the overload of traffic on side streets with reengineering. when you added slow streets, a lot of streets went out, became like newer smaller thoroughfares in particular laguna street. what o officers would do, they might get a stop sign which is vision zero, but mostly

trying to get people off the streets for pedestrians to be able to cross. we are moving to more directed and doing that over the last several months to go after certain areas but we have to be cognisant of the fact it can't be vision zero only as much as we want it to be. if i get complaint and the captain says you snd your team down to x because we have something going on-complaints in the mission were about commercial vehicles on a street double parking but the real issue was people who were parking in the commercial vehicle area. we would go out and go ahead and cite based on the complaint of moving those vehicles out of the roadway as opposed to again a vision zero. it is based on watt we

see, what complaints we get. >> that is helpful. let me ask a more basic question because i think i might be missing something more simple. these graphs on slide 4 and slide 3, are these just stops made by the traffic company or do these include stops made by officers (inaudible) work out of a district station? >> it is everybody. if you look on slide 3, if you look-as i look at the screen, the right is traffic companies specific. >> okay, perfect. just a related question on variance. your answer was helpful explaining why certain districts do more or less vision zero, but also curious, it seems there is a lot of variance in terms of total traffic stops from one district station to another. that is more striking thing that jumps out

at me. southern looks like they have done 9 traffic stops in that 6 month period on slide 3. mission it looks like 22. you have richmond is 468. just thoughts on just the really substantial variance in the number of total stops for any type of violation. >> i say there is a big component that we do not track. it is not something-again, it is proving a negative. i think it you went to probably look at the ripa reports, let me give you a example of something. i cant answer directly to any single station. of course i can't fiend it but i looked at the

quarter 1, 2022 stops and i understand that in that report that we are talking about pedestrians, we are talking traffic, so it is not traffic only. but two categories captured there are no action i warning. so, when you see these these are citations. so, stops and part is education, so i have what i keep data for traffic that we started a couple-months ago i have breakdowns how many stops we did but the traffic officers are reporting how many warnings they give specifically on those traffic stops versus a citation. when i go back and look for traffic i can give you those numbers when they are operationally directed. if it officers are just out and about we have to figure a way how to pull just traffic stops and then those warnings are no action. a warning and

(inaudible) same thing. the reason i stopped you is because you went over the limit line while a person was crossing. it is a violation. i appreciate it, you run them you send them on their way. that is educationally. hopefully don't do it again, it isn't always we give a cite so there is a component of the numbers we are not reporting, when is warning under education. >> slide 3 and 4 are tracking citations then not stops? that is what you are saying? >> yes. >> okay. thank you. that was not clear. i have a request, data request. i would love to see the information on slides 3 and 4 accept for stops not citations, and for

years 2017, 2018, 2019. just to get a sense of what we are doing pre-pandemic. >> so, commissioner, i believe-what was the first-did you say 2017? >> yes. 17, 18, 19. >> we can work to get those. the one thing i say, i don't think we get-i think the stop data didn't come to play till 2018 so i think is from 2018 moving forward. the second thing i like to point out also, this is not a data set in the sense, but in talking to the traffic officers who do this the most. the other thing is the extension of how long the stops are take frg a simple citation. my officers here at traffic who i say in general write more tickets then any other officer on the street say the general top stop is 20-30 minutes. 5-10 minutes for the ticket writing

phase, running the person another 10 minutes for going ahead and tagging everything on your vwc to match up and fill out the ripa. again, those the faster you are, but depending when you do them. some officers do the tagging right out in the ripa after one after another, others come back to the station after they have written numerous and they sit there and go through and add all these up. again, that is anecdotal. (inaudible) i would say there is probably people much faster and i would bet if you went on patrol the less you write traffic tickets the longer to do it. >> okay. great that is helpful. yeah, if we don't have the data from 2017 i know there was a graduated

implementation when 853 was passed. when we have data that is 18 and 19, that is great, but i love to see for stops for those years. for watt we have. thank you so much. appreciate your presentation. it was really helpful. >> thank you. commissioner yee. >> thank you madam president. just want to ask if you had i guess peter welsh if you had data on the scooters on the injuries and mild and severe? i know that dramatically increased from 2021 and on to 2022. want to see if you have (inaudible) maybe the next time you have it to list it because in the

richmond i see a lot of scooters laying all over the place and some of the people are going pretty fast. i think probably have to see how much injury we are having from it, and whether maybe they can have legislation to regulate the riders and the device how they go. can we have it maybe on the next-you have- >> commissioner, just one thing as i mentioned in the presentation i'll confer can colleagues at dph because not every collision or person falling off a scooter is reported to us. we would only have data if we were called to the scene and met the requirements of a injury collision. so, you could again show up to sfgh, get streeted for a solo

collision or-we do have one collision of two scooters where somebody was sent to the hospital but if it not reported-if you give me a chance before i can say i can produce it let me confer can dph and see what statistical analysis they have and i can get you any reported (inaudible) just as a caveat, when-the vision zero which is put up on the vision zero website not handled by sfpd, i only have the fatality numbers and will repeat those. year to date august is the last update, there were 3. stand up power devices. that is a motorized unicycle, dont know if you have seen them. following motorized stooter. anything you stand on. there are 3 falties through august of 22. last year there was 1 through

august 21. there were non recorded prior to 21. >> okay. thank you very much. that's all i have. >> commissioner yanez. >> thank you president elias. i would like to also request along the same lines of commissioner carter-oberstone just requested, glad to hear we are tracking when there is an educational opportunity after a stop. i would like to see what numbers look like over the last 2 years.

>> created new challenges because you can't go down certain streets and have to make a right say on mission and 21 to go into a street with barriers. i could see the challenges and the need for education. but i like to see how much work is actually happening in that area, because when i see 22 in the mission and 9 in southern for 6 month period, there's a lot of improvement to be made and i like to know how much of that is happening. how much of the education, how much of this you get pulled over and allowed to leave is

happening since covid and in the last 2 years. and i also like to get a sense of about when there is this form of education and a non citation, is there some form of documentation that then gets summarized in a report somewhere so we can compare these numbers of actual violations and citations with those numbers of interactions i guess? >> commissioner, i want to manage your expectations. when a officer pulls somebody over and let's say use the common phrase of giving somebody a break for running a stop sign, for whatever that violation is, and just says if you can slow down maybe speeding, there is a school two

blocks away, you will be heading into a 15 mile hour zone. we get that on the stop data and you would see that in the end result within the stop data, but you are not go ing to have a check box form for data that says education, warning things like that. so, as commissioner oberstone asked, that is why i mention the data has to take a look and managing expectations. when i look at the qadr, that includes pedestrians, it includes traffic so we have to see if we can parse that out. to deliver that. >> what would interfere with our ability to create the expectations to collect the data and to also include dem o graphic data if possible because as we are trying to ascertain what the best direction is to

take in order to address disparities, i think these are opportunities for us to improve how we determine what training is necessary and what documentation is essential. is it a training data collection system or we just haven't created the expectation to collect this information? >> so, just so i'm-i understand-every traffic stop is supposed to be collected and that's what you see in the ripa reports in the qadr. so, that is the section whether or not i write a citation or not, that is where you see everything placed into where you have the quhois choice of dem o graphic, whether or not you cited the person, warned the

person, searched the vehicle somewhere the state asks if you use force. that is already all captured. that is what you see every quarter or more in the qadr. what i'm try toog say is, i don't know because not familiar with the system and something that we would have to ask of whether or not we can parse out pedestrian stops and traffic stops for nance instance to give you the data you like to see, because within that we get a clearer picture how many people were warning and ammonishing. i don't know how deep down you get to that. we would just be making a believe an assumption that i let you go with a warning because that is what the officer checked so we have to have a baseline on what we believe the data to be. we have it, it is there, just a question can we get it out of the state system. all that other stuff is

already collected. >> that would be ideal. i think it will give us a good sense of how much-because if we want to advance our community policing goals, i really believe that that piece of information will help contribute to improving those relationships. when we know there are opportunities to engage as we are engaging in the tenderloin and educate people and refer to treatment, i think it is a good point to capture and i encourage us to delve deep into those numbers and let's use that as a point of reference so i know it will be challenging but i think it is worth the time and energy. thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. public comment sergeant. thank you commander walsh. >> the public is welcome to make public

comment. if you like to make comment press star 3 now. there is no public comment. >> thank you next item. >> item 7. presentation regarding reimagining policy development. discussion. >> this presentation will be conducted by director (inaudible) and i will be available for questions and weigh in if necessary or when necessary. >> thank you chief. good evening commissioners, president elias, executive director henderson, chief scott and members of the public. (inaudible) today as the chief indicated i will be presenting the policy

development process and how the plans pertain to the restructuring of the written directives and working group units of the department. (inaudible) reimagineing policy development because it is about looking at different way of carrying out the vision for policy development for the department. we are hoping to provide an overview of that. sergeant youngblood, if i can get the presentation up that would be great. >> coming upright now. >> thank you so much. sergeant youngblood is loading up the presentation i want to emphasize that the presentation will be divided in 4 areas. our hope is to communicate first how exactly we received input from the department around how we need to look at a different policy development process. we ended up asking for recommendation so we are hoping to be able to share those recommendations and how that then lead to the organizational structure and design we currently are

envision frg the department moving forward and highlight key steps including transition of units and oversight so you all have a thorough update of how our organization is envision ing this change. next slide. thank you. as i mentioned earlier, we at the direction of chief scott as the policy public affairs unit facilitated brain storming sessions that embodied open conversation how we need to improve our policy development process for the department. specifically we ended up recruiting members from all ranks and classifications from the sworn and professional side and civilian side of the department part of all the different units that are represented on the actual slide and we ended up facilitating discussion on key questions on questions

such as how to improve on the policy development process. how do we create more a thorough process and oversight. how do we making sure we are efficient and at the same time how do we insure there is community feedback and vision of reform we are accountable to reporting to department of justice. we moved forward with 9 to 10 sessions total. 5 dedicated specifically to looking at more in depth representations of the members you see here and the additional sessions were just internal conversations with the executive branch of the department including the chief to figure how best to organize the recommendations brought up with these members. next slide, please. there were 9 recommendations highlighted in the sessions. as you see on this slide, we have 9 listed in the

summarized version. i'll point out a couple things. one of the first things we heard there needed to be transition off the policy writing and development of policies outside of the units and into the oversight of chief of staff. why the chief of staff? there was a really strong sentiment by the members of the department that it would be better suited if there was a oversight closer to the chief of police and the chief of staff bureau since that is the entity that works closest with both community constituents and the police commission. it would make sense to be able to look at centralized unit that fall under the chief of staff. another recommendation that i'll highlight, there was a emphasis and strong desire to redefine working group jz focus on trying to figquer how to actually evaluate our policy proposal in a way that is more meaningful where we have a working group membership that is

expanded but also be able to be integrated in a way where it is more intentional. these recommendations and a sessions happened simultaneously with 3.01 so you see some changes are actually very similar to the changes you saw in that department general order when is a good thing. because it spoke to some of the need and there was a match there in 301 and the recommendation we had with our sworn and professional staff. there was a suggestion to look at a honeymoon for practical application. that is something that i think we should consider. there was a strong sentiment figuring how to pilot some of the dgo so we try to adjust at the same time. to that point another recommendation was looking at a tier system which you see

reflected in 3.01. it was a really strong desire to look at can we end up batching dgo moving forward to look how to get better at policy development prauls process and there are (inaudible) state law changes and community out cry given the changes we need immediately for the department, given importance of how to keep our officers safe and aware low to move forward, all that was incorporated in term s of the recommendation so there is a mirroring we want to highlight. these 9 were the overlay of all the sessions. again, happy to answer questions at the end if you have more questions regarding these. i would just finalize the slide with emphasizing that the biggest thing here is to see a stronger organizational oversight and change to different part of

the department. next slide, please. in terms of the organization itself, after the recommendations the chief and his command staff sat down to think how this would move forward in terms of structure internally in the organization. as mentioned the recommendation is chief of staff oversight for the reasons mentioned. specifically the components that were outlined were one, the community policy working group unit needed to stay under policy public affairs. that is actually the unit that i oversee. since we work closely with community groups around policy development it made sense to be able to move forward looking at that component under policy and public affairs. on the other hand when it came to policy development, it was recommended by all the members both professional and sworn that there be a policy development unit that would actually come into the chief of

staff as a new component of the policy development process that bring in written directives. next slide, please. policy development division would basically move forward with looking at coordinating exist policy update said and they also are responsible for looking at researching national local best practices but more importantly will be charged with also consulting with subject matter experts. the wdu component continue functions as it does today where there is administrative oversight they continue managing the dpa police commission relationship and also the simetaneous concurrence process and function sort as administrative language to continue to move forward the policy. both of these components would need to be staffed. some of them would be a mix of the written directive unit is a

mix between sworn and professional staff. the policy writing unit we were awarded and budgeted additional staff to bring over that is professional staff that have a expertise in policy writing that would be hired to do this type of work. next slide. as mentioned earlier, the staungest recommendation we heard was the community policy working group component needed to make sure to collaborate and problem solve around different areas of feedback that the community believes policing should consider. one of the objective would be to institutionalize a plat form to get a more organized loop with feedback to policy development process. again, this community and policy working group fall under policy and public affairs. next slide. so, in terms of next steps, again,

we were funded to be able to look at hiring additional staff both for the working group and policy development. we are in the phase where we are looking at sense september we were actually given the approval with hiring authority is still pending. we are working with mayor office and human resources to give the green light to do interviews and hiring candidates and background phase. the hope and plan by the end of november we will be done if not sooner. we are probably about half way into our hiring process and approvals but shortly after that hoping to on-board to train staff so we end up making sure we end up creating a more organized structure like it was envisioned with the prior slides. then the expectation of the staff is to make meet internally and externally with a lot of key

stakeholders to continue having conversations how we best conduct working groups, how do we not commit mistakes from the past and learn from the past and continue moving forward and the hope to work more intentionally where there is consistency in the way we run working groups mirroring best practices and making sure we are consistent and working through january with the police commission with dpa and any other key steak holdsers to make sure we are clear about the process. that's some of our next steps. next slide. happy to take any questions and hope i met the 10 minute marker and i'll stop there. >> thank you. you did meet the 10-we appreciate it. really important i think sometimes we miss is that the effort put into hiring policy

writers and individuals that have experience running working groups and is my understanding with this organization those two skillsets will be added to this unit to provide us better quality policy writing and also to i think help facilitate working groups because tat that is a very special skillset that not necessarily everyone has so i really think that is a great-going to be a great addition to the unit. i will turn it over to commissioner benedicto. >> (inaudible) >> okay? >> yes. >> thank you. i was going to add before we get to the questions, a good example we believe is the money moon phase is what

played out with (inaudible) where we implemented a policy, a very thoughtful policy but there was a lot of feedback at the organization that feedback was vetted and given to the commission for consideration and not officially a honeymoon period that is what that can look like if we incorporate that. (inaudible) meant a lot to the members of (inaudible) now we have a better policy because of it feedback, so that is-i wanted to highlight that because that could look like if we make that a regular part of how we conduct our policy business. >> thank you. commissioner. >> i agree with you chief. i think that the turn around on (inaudible) great example of the positive feedback loop we can get and this allows us to continue to dothat i support that. i want to echo

what president elias said. working groups is such a unique skill. multiple members of the command staff have stepped if to that role over the years. it has been not necessarily their domain. we are lucky in the 9.01 process thank you to the controller office and (inaudible) controller team helped (inaudible) what does the structure look like compared to the current structure? >> that is right. the understanding would be if we could go back to

the slide with the chart sergeant youngblood so everyone could see the way the structure will be assembled. >> slide 4. >> slide 4. if you don't mind. thank you. as you see written directive is actually listed under the policy development unit, so it would be a way for strategic management bureau and situated here and work closely with the policy writing team. >> (inaudible) >> correct. the strategic management bureau has responsibilities that stay in tact. some responsibilities are budget oversight, technology, the reform process, the next phase of auditing reforms and the success moving forward with looking at even our new contracting process. all that would stay consistent

with the strategic management bureau. any knowledge related to policy development would shift over to any the policy public affairs area or directly under the chief of stampt staff. >> that makes sense. would the policy [difficulty understanding speaker due to speaking too fast] >> the recommendation was a sworn commander level but in order to do that we have to reallocate one of the existing commanders. i'm leaning toward professional staff and last week's conversation was part of what i was considering in last's week's converivation conversation commissioner yanez made a (inaudible) stay there for a long time. this is

something that is weighing heavy on the decision and i do think we are able to get a high level staff in that position and that will give us more consistency. our sworn members because of retirement and needs to reassign turn over a lot and i do believe we are better off when we have consistency and longevity in the positions. similar to what commissioner yanez said about community engagement. both things are weighing on this decision. we can go either way. the lean now is professional staff. >> the actual staffers and policy writing is is a mix of sworn and professional staff j yes, sir. >> is there a (inaudible) >>rectomy now it depends on the actual requisitions that end up pushing through, so that is the plan to have high level

managers that support the policy development, so that way it functions like a wing or tier system and we have analysts that continue doing the work. now it isn't reflected because we are trying to solidify the staffing make up based on department of human resource and mayor office approval. >> thank you. i think that is a lot of changes seem (inaudible) it will be improved (inaudible) we just need to get you to get the commission (inaudible) >> we love your support to advocate with us in the budget process so we can continue to have the staff. >> thank you. >> thank you commissioner. >> i will director henderson. you are on

mute. >> thank you. sorry about that. first of all, i really want to say how much i appreciate the department willingness to engage. it is something super important part of what i believe was behind the reengagement of dpa from occ was an effort to refocus on expanding both reform and accountability and so the policy development is key to that and languishing dgo have been a problem for decades and don't think there is a argument there in terms of how far behind things have come on the dgo and why it is so important now more then ever we approach this with ernest and think we are doing that. i will say, no plans are going to be successful unless the right people are in

leadership roles and the department leadership prioritizing timely policy development that comport with best practices. that said, if i just reference the presentation back to slide 3 and r6 regarding the working group formation and r8 regarding dgo tiers, all of that is-we don't need to pull it up. just reference if people want to look through the notes, all of that is already in dgo3.01 and so the department hasn't implemented them and i can't get past that because 3.01 went live some time gow jewe dont have to go back to try to reprioritize these things with less efficient ways if we can just do that. i would ask that from this we can get a commitment that 3.01 can go live and then the second point i want to make is, the

concerning slide 5 under the proposed plan. i ask that be revisited because that plan silos dpa and having to communicate through written directive units only and not with the subject matter experts. that makes absolutely no sense and the department theoretical policies writing team should not be writing managing-not writing, the written directive should be managing and not communicating with the department to or through dpa independently without the access to subject matter experts. 3.01 clearically states dpa has the ability and work with directly with the subject matter experts and do fot want that to be changed. if that is indication of that changing i think that

is huge problem and step backwards so i want to flag those two item s for you. not to end oen a bad note because i think the stats are moving forward, i want to make sure as we move forward we stay consistent with being effective and efficient and as we can and reflective of best practice we can. i think 3.o1 is reflective of that and want to make sure it is captured and make sure we dont back slide building inefficiencyinize to the system we just accomplished or just conquered with 3.o1. those are my two points. >> go ahead chief. >> i just wanted to respond. the tier system is in large part informed by the work group sessions and do recall we were in the process of

finalizing 3.01 at the same the work group sessions and that information was provided to president elias. the tier system-(inaudible) came from those meetings and commissioner elias was kind enough to allow us to incorporate that into the draft that went to the commission. the other thing i want to put on the record of the (inaudible) just so everybody is aware of how we are doing that, the sme will have dpa policy people will have access to the sme. what i demand on my side is visibility from executive sponsors because what i don't want and had it hap pen in the past sme make agreement frz the departments before the things are flushed out and discussed and (inaudible) the reason we shut it down for a

minute, but i say this publicly so everybody can hear it. (inaudible) we have internal process to make sure that who ever the executive sponsor is is made aware of the conversations we are not committing before we have approval and buy in from the proper people and the department. >> chief, i think you're correct and think it is a fine balance trying to figure out distinction between access and authority and balancing through the administrative roles from the department so i'm confident we can work that out sitting at it table, i am leery of some of the past transgressions we had in the past as well with time wasted working with sme that could not speak on beof the department. it is my crn concern as well and i understand you want to balance that with a role from written

directives. i want to make sure if t is a role that is actively engaged and not delay or stall to the process. because we just have so much to do and catch up on. sure we will be able to sort it out. just want to stay at the table and communication to keep moving forward. >> our intent is add more to also watt we committed to in terms of next steps. we committed to making sure we build on a process that works. i do want to emphasize that we have to be able to talk about the pros and cons of the way this system-(inaudible) what needs to be carried over and how to envision the new staff coming on-board and how they (inaudible) the intent isn't to be able to destroy anything we are building today that actually works it is to build it. the way that we imagine the organizational piece we want to be

clear on responsibility but about having open communication what works and doesn't is that needs to be adjusted. >> great. thank you. vice president carter-oberstone. >> thank you president elias. thank frz the presentation director. could you just explain one more time just so in the new structure we got written directives, policy writing and policy development. could you explain the difference between those 3 in terms of the work they are doing? >> so, if you look back on slide >> 4. >> 4 and 5. if we can bring that up. thank you. i see you working. on one side in terms of the

organizational structure, i think that is the best way to differentiate the roles because you see it listed here in terms of titles. on one hand the community and policy working group unit is specifically responsible to look at feedback coming from the community translating recommendation specifically into the dgo process. for example, 9.01 like to use that example because i think we learned a lot from that process, you would be just as commissioner benedicto indicated we would be having someone internal that can facilitate like the controller office did go ahead and actually create recommendations and recommendation grid and provide input into the dgo process. that is the responsibility of the community policy working group unit. on the other hand policy development, policy development the writing portion of that would be responsible for best practices researching, making sure we are clear with state

legislation. neighboring city and counties, what they are doing and making sure we are up to speed on that aspect and also talking to the sme about what should be included in terms of revision or new draft with dgo development practice. written directives is envisions doing similar role to today facilitating concurrence, keeping track of it dgo process so that means looking at start from finish making sure that all the steps are really met according to 3.01 and insuring that everything is documented accordingly to reach the police commission. they function more as the administrators making sure we have a process that is documented that is possibly electronic version who edits and how that reaches to the police commission and moves to meet and confer. i hope that explains it. >> that does explain it. i guess i just

had a question of what written directives was playing at the point in the new structure, but i think what you said clarifies that. you spnt a fair amount of the presentation talking about community input and wondering under the new structure the department plans to focus on that more in the future for policy development. >> absolutely our commitment has been-first of all, it is part of the reform process. that is how i opened the conversation. there are many (inaudible) continue improving how to build trust and also how to engage in a policy development process that includes community input. we absolutely want to be continue getting better every single year i would say if not day on how we integrate community into the process. i think 9.01 is a clear example. there are other dgo like

(inaudible) where we learned how to better move forward with community input, and there is-i can name a bunch, but what we like to start the vision is trying to have a process organized across all dgo to work closely with dpa and commission to make sure there is coming from a community in a intentional way. >> i guess what i'm trying to understand what that actually means in practice. in real life. currently as a matter of course when the department provides the dgo there is no community outreach. there is no working group. there is no community listening associations, there isn't a public draft of the dgo until the very very end. now the status quo zero community input so trying to understand what it looks like for the future. does that mean greater

percentage of dgo's have some amount of community outreach or the same percentage is now but have a different structure. what does it mean tangbly? >> first of all there has been working groups assembled according to the written directive -(inaudible) we did halt working groups when you on-boarded because we were looking at the reenvisioning so probably in the future we are hoping that (inaudible) you will be able to see the new structure incorporates from the past and moving forward looking making sure working groups are part of the intentional development practice. we have had working groups, it is just that we haven't had it in the course of the last 9 months simply because we have been stalled looking how to better move forward with the structure that will be conducive and work and at the same deal with the

transitions. i just want to clarify that because i don't think that-i can name a bunch of examples. one is domestic violence. that is probably the closest one. >> (inaudible) they are clearly the exception not the rule and trying to understand--we can go to percentages but i think you agree, 90 percent never had one? i'm trying to focus on the future though. what does the future look like with the new plan? how is it different then what we are doing now? >> if i can (inaudible) one thing we are trying to accomplish vice president is the consistency of really professional facilitator. (inaudible) executive sponsor or subject matter expert conducted the working groups and there were

ex(inaudible) different styles, it didn't meet the standard where we need to be. this process is designed to get a person who actually that is what (inaudible) will have consistency not only the dgo mandated to have working groups but there are other issues that come up where working groups make sense to do for community input and the spirit of what we are try ing to do so we expect a better product and consistency and better tracking. one thing we found out in october is we just were not where we need today be on tracking. (inaudible) the product of just better tracking so those are expected-we expect to be much much better then they have been in the past and much more

consistent. >> thanks chief. as others said i welcome having someone on staff who is just a facilitator and knows how to run a working group and have in-house. i think the controllers office has done a great job but can't ask them to do that every time. i will ask the question one more time because i never heard a answer. under our new structure will we have more community outreach- >> (inaudible) >> more community outreach then we had in the past? because i understand we have more professional staff that is better tracked and more consistent now the department is doing all most none. in the future will we have more community outreach as part of the dgo revision

process is the question? >> yes. (inaudible) by policy and i want to disagree with about none, here nor there but the answer is yes, because by design we touch dgo much more often then we ever have and (inaudible) mandated work group for a number of dgo so by design we will be having more. and anticipate there will be dgo or things that come up outside the process for working groups are appropriate and necessary that answer is yes as well. the dgo process laid out now the answer is yes. >> thank you. that is everything for me. >> quick question, can you pull up slide 4? will director mcguire be in charge of policy

development or policy and public affairs? >> that will go under the chief of staff umbrella when we make the transition and policy public affairs is under director (inaudible) units. >> sorry chief couldn't hear. the chief of staff and who is the chief of staff? >> all of is under the chief of staff. body of work is under chief of staff in that part of the department. >> (inaudible) >> (inaudible) i would be overseeing that component. >> the chief of staff would be? >> the policy development unit has not moved to chief of staff yet, so as we get these positions filled that will move over to the chief of staff. >> who is chief of staff? >> bob mosier. >> thank you.

>> acting chief (inaudible) >> got it. great. trying to figure (inaudible) got it. no one else in the queue. can 80 we go to public comment? we go to public comment? >> for public comment press star 3 now. you have two minutes. caller you have 2 minutes. >> hi. i had a question. so, on september 6 resolution 2200896 was passed by the board of supervisors decriminalizing plant base psychedelics and san francisco police to make investigation

and arrest of the plants as lowest priority. are there specific policies changed or policies supporting the resolution and if so what? >> thank you caller. that is the end of public comment. >> thank you. next item. >> line item 8. discussion and possible action to approve revised department general order 8.01 major critical incident eval wailgz notification for meeting and conferring with the san francisco police officer association required by law. discussion and possible action. >> thank you. thank you sergeant youngblood. 8.o1 is a collaborative effort by the department and department of police accountability had a huge part revising the

dgo. i want to highlight some of the changes and as the title reads the major critical incident evaluation and notifications deals with that issue. major incident said and requirements to notify and requirement what officer supervisors and commander officers do at the scene. a few highlights, the responding units there are questions from the commission on some of the critical incidents about who is in charge, how do we know who is in charge and designate- >> sorry chief. i think we went over this last week and put it over because you want today make the one change when you made and posted. not to cut off but want to save you time because commissioner byrne asked to put it over to publish it and we did to the public so i think nothing changed since that time, right?

>> that is correct. >> okay. this point maybe--again, i want to save time if we are good maybe we can move to the question and answer section? >> yes, thank you. >> thank you. sorry. commissioner benedicto in the queue. >> i want to thank the department and dpa. we worked through this one for a number months and back and forth and quite pleased with the final product. i think it represents good compromise and points the commission wanted more detail so met half way on a lot of those. i'm quite happy with this product. make sure we published the final changes so i would be happy at the conclusion of commissioner questions to make a motion to adopt 8.01 to meet and confer. >> great. i take that as a motion. i'll get

a second but think vice president carter-oberstone is the queue and then director henderson. >> i'll differ to director henderson. >> i just had two points i wanted to make because i can do think this is a significant step forward. i want to remind the audience this is one of those dgo that had not been updated since 1994 and so i hope it isn't lost on folks how important this dgo will be and wanted to thank the collaborative effort both from the department and my policy team in large part germane jones and janelle kay wood for working on this and bringing it over the finish line hopefully with the upcoming vote. that's it. thank you. >> vice president carter-oberstone were you going to second the motion? >> just a quick comment. don't worry i won't ask whether

there is community input for this one. i think we know the answer to that anyway. i just wanted to give feedback on what director henderson and give a shout out to germane jones for his particularly strong work on this dgo over really two years of hard work. a lot of the most important work on this commission happens from outside the public view and isn't particularly glamorous and i think germane really mastered this area and brought to bear what the nationally recognized evidence based best practices were and insure those made it into the dgo. not all heroes wear capes so shout out to germane. just wanted to call that out. >> that was a second

after all that? >> i will second the motion. >> thank you. can we have public comment. >> i think it is ride the bike a motorcycle which is cool. >> members who like to make comment regarding lineatim 8 press star 3 now. there is no public comment. on the motion for 8.01 for meet and confer. [roll call] >> you have 7 yeses.

>> thank you. next item, please. >> item 9, public comment on matters relating to public comment including item 10 whether to hold item 11 in closed session. if you like to make public comment, press star 3 now. there is no public comment. item 10 vote whether to hold item 11 in closed session. san francisco adminivateive code section 67.10. action. >> make a motion. >> second. >> thank you. >> on the motion- [roll call]

>> i will take us into closed session. >> thank you. [closed session]

>> line item twechbl. vote to elect any or all discussion of closed session. >> commissioner,s i would like to make a motion to disclose line item 11a, because it does not meet any of the exceptions in the brown act or sunshine act and therefore should be discloezed to the publicism >> i second the motion. (inaudible) i

second the motion. >> members that would like to make public comment regarding line item 12, press star 3 now. there is no public comment. on the motion- [roll call] >> you have 6 yeses. >> great. >> alright. >> don't we have to say something about what happened on 11a? to make the disclosure

now. >> i think they can post the letter that was in the closed session to the commission website. >> (inaudible) 11a portion is part of open record minutes. >> do you have a view on this? >> at this opponent point you can give a brief summary what you wish to disclose of 11a? >> brief summary and disclose the minutes as commissioner benedicto suggested and disclose the letter the officer union sent. this item had to do with dgo-5.01. the police officer union made a single suggested change as it relates to the duty to intercede and rather then creating a duty to intercede when an officer or agent or

any unconstitutional or illegal conduct, replace with interceding whether officer engages in excessive use of force. the commission unanimously voted to approve that policy change, because the prior language would have created a duty to intercede for violations that had nothing to do with excessive force, which is the subject area covered by 5.01. >> is that the (inaudible) [audio cutting out] >> that is sufficient. >> okay. great. next item. >> item 13, adjournment. action item. >> have a good night. thank you all.

but you get e mersed in the world that is film makers made for you. that is a special experience to very much we can all think of the movies that we saw in the big screen of with everybody screaming or laughing or crying. it is a shared human experience that you get when you go in to places that are gatherings and artist presented to you. >> a shared experience is the most precious. and the popcorn. [laughter]. at the balboa especially, we stroif to have movies for people of every generation from the pop corn palace movies on the weekend mornings, for families and kids. this is for everybody of all ages. >> what is great about the richmond is it is a neighborhood of the immigrants. belongs to immigrants not ap i

our legacy and san francisco history and like to keep it going for years to come. >> another moment i'm proud to be supporting the richmond and the only asian american woman elect in the office and as an immigrant that is not happen nothing 3 decades. you see it is my ability to represent especially the asian-american community. in my case the chinese speaking elders in our community that really can allow me to communicate with them directly. i'm program director of adult day centers. i have been here for 7 years i love to help the communities and help and the people with disability. i foal a connection with them. i am anim grant i love helping

the same time. it's got a unique flavor i don't see in other neighborhoods j. it is about being inclusive we are inclusive and welcome the communities, anybody should feel welcome and belong here and shop local, eat local. we believe that with that support and that network it come in full circle. it is passing on kinds knows. that's when richmond is about that we are together at once. welcome to the richmond. [music]

>> i don't want to be involved in the process after it happens. i want to be there at the front end to help people with something in my mind from a very early age. our community is the important way to look at things, even now.

george floyd was huge. it opened up wounds and a discussion on something festering for a long time. before rodney king. you can look at all the instances where there are calls for change. i think we are involved in change right now in this moment that is going to be long lasting. it is very challenging. i was the victim of a crime when i was in middle school. some kids at recess came around at pe class and came to the locker room and tried to steal my watch and physically assaulted me. the officer that helped afterwards went out of his way to check the time to see how i was. that is the kind of work, the kind of perspective i like to have in our sheriff's office regardless of circumstance.

that influenced me a lot. some of the storefronts have changed. what is mys is that i still see some things that trigger memories. the barbershop and the shoe store is another one that i remember buying shoestrings and getting my dad's old army boots fixed. we would see movies after the first run. my brother and i would go there. it is nice. if you keep walking down sacramento. the nice think about the city it takes you to japan town. that is where my grandparents were brought up. that is the traditional foods or movies. they were able to celebrate the culture in that community. my family also had a dry-cleaning business. very hard work. the family grew up with

apartments above the business. we have a built-in work force. 19 had 1 as -- 1941 as soon as that happened the entire community was fixed. >> determined to do the job as democracy should with real consideration for the people involved. >> the decision to take every one of japan niece american o japanese from their homes. my family went to the mountains and experienced winter and summer and springs. they tried to make their home a home. the community came together to share. they tried to infuse each home are little things. they created things. i remember my grand mother saying they were very scared.

they were worried. they also felt the great sense of pride. >> japanese americans. >> my granduncle joined the 442nd. when the opportunity came when the time that was not right. they were in the campaign in italy. they were there every step of the way. >> president truman pays tribute. >> that was the most decorated unit in the history of the united states army. commitment and loyal to to the country despite that their families were in the camp at that time. they chose to come back to san francisco even after all of

that. my father was a civil servant as well and served the state of california workers' compensation attorney and judge and appellate board. my parents influenced me to look at civil service s.i applied to police, and sheriff's department at the same time. the sheriff's department grabbed me first. it was unique. it was not just me in that moment it was everyone. it wasn't me looking at the crowd. it was all of us being together. i was standing there alone. i felt everyone standing next to me. the only way to describe it. it is not about me. it is from my father. my father couldn't be there. he was sick. the first person i saw was him.

i still sometimes am surprised by the fact i see my name as the sheriff. i am happy to be in the position i am in to honor their memory doing what i am doing now to help the larger comment. when i say that we want to be especially focused on marginalized communities that have been wronged. coming from my background and my family experienced what they did. that didn't happen in a vacuum. it was a decision made by the government. nobody raised their voice. now, i think we are in a better place as country and community. when we see something wrong we have change agents step up to help the community affected. that is a important thing to continue to do. you talk about change and being a leader in change and not

knowing whether you have successes or results. the fact of the matter is by choosing to push for change you have already changed things. through inspiration for others, take up the matter or whether it is through actual functional change as a result of your voice being heard. i think you have already started on a path to change by choosing that path. in doing that in april of itself creates change. i continue in that type of service for my family. something i hope to see in my children. i have a pretty good chance with five children one will go into some sort of civil service. i hope that happens to continue that legacy. >> i am paul, sheriff of san

francisco. [ music ] >> manufacturing in cities creates this perfect platform for people to earn livelihoods

and for people to create more economic prosperity. i'm kate sosa. i'm cofounder and ceo of sf made. sf made is a public private partnership in the city of san francisco to help manufacturers start, grow, and stay right here in san francisco. sf made really provides wraparound resources for manufacturers that sets us apart from other small business support organizations who provide more generalized support. everything we do has really been developed over time by listening and thinking about what manufacturer needs grow. for example, it would be traditional things like helping

them find capital, provide assistance loans, help to provide small business owners with education. we have had some great experience doing what you might call pop ups or temporary selling events, and maybe the most recent example was one that we did as part of sf made week in partnership with the city seas partnership with small business, creating a 100 company selling day right here at city hall, in partnership with mayor lee and the board of supervisors, and it was just a wonderful opportunity for many of our smaller manufacturers who may be one or two-person shop, and who don't have the wherewithal to have their own dedicated retail store to show their products and it comes back to how do we help companies set more money into arthur businesses and develop

more customers and their relationships, so that they can continue to grow and continue to stay here in san francisco. i'm amy kascel, and i'm the owner of amy kaschel san francisco. we started our line with wedding gowns, and about a year ago, we launched a ready to wear collection. san francisco's a great place to do business in terms of clientele. we have wonderful brides from all walks of life and doing really interesting things: architects, doctors, lawyers, teachers, artists, other like minded entrepreneurs, so really fantastic women to work with. i think it's important for them to know where their clothes are made and how they're made. >> my name is jefferson mccarly, and i'm the general manager of the mission bicycle company. we sell bikes made here for

people that ride here. essentially, we sell city bikes made for riding in urban environments. our core business really is to build bikes specifically for each individual. we care a lot about craftsmanship, we care a lot about quality, we care about good design, and people like that. when people come in, we spend a lot of time going to the design wall, and we can talk about handle bars, we can see the riding position, and we take notes all over the wall. it's a pretty fun shopping experience. paragraph. >> for me as a designer, i love the control. i can see what's going on, talk to my cutter, my pattern maker, looking at the designs. going through the suing room,

i'm looking at it, everyone on the team is kind of getting involved, is this what that drape look? is this what she's expecting, maybe if we've made a customization to a dress, which we can do because we're making everything here locally. over the last few years, we've been more technical. it's a great place to be, but you know, you have to concentrate and focus on where things are going and what the right decisions are as a small business owner. >> sometimes it's appropriate to bring in an expert to offer suggestions and guidance in coaching and counseling, and other times, we just need to talk to each other. we need to talk to other manufacturers that are facing similar problems, other people that are in the trenches, just like us, so that i can share with them a solution that we came up with

to manage our inventory, and they can share with me an idea that they had about how to overcome another problem. >> moving forward, where we see ourselves down the road, maybe five and ten years, is really looking at a business from a little bit more of a ready to wear perspective and making things that are really thoughtful and mindful, mindful of the end user, how they're going to use it, whether it's the end piece or a wedding gown, are they going to use it again, and incorporating that into the end collection, and so that's the direction i hear at this point. >> the reason we are so enamored with the work we do is we really do see it as a platform for changing and making the city something that it has always been and making sure that we're sharing the

opportunities that we've been blessed with economically and socially as possible, broadening that >> you're watching san francisco rising with chris manors. today's special guest is mary chu. >> hi. i'm chris manors, and you're rising on san francisco rising. the show that's focused on rebuilding, reimagining, and restarting our city. our guest today is mary chu,

and she's here to talk with us about art and the san francisco art commission. well come, miss chu. >> thanks for having me. >> it's great to have you. let's talk about art in the city and how art installations are funded. >> the arts committee was funded in 1932 and support civic review, design investments and art galleries. projects we have are funded by the city's art enrichment ordinance which provides 2% of construction costs for public art. >> so art is tied to construction.

there's been a great deal in the southwest of the city. can you talk about some of the projects there? >> sure. our city has some exciting projected in the bayview-hunters point coming up. one artist created a photo collage. in the picture pavilion, one artist formed a collage of her one-year residency coming together with residents, and anchoring the new center is a landmark bronze sculpture, inspired by traditional ivory coast currency which the artists significantly enlarges

to mark that it's a predominantly african american community in bayview hunters point. >> are there any art installations around town that uses light as a medium? >> yes. the first is on van ness between o'farrell and geary. it's funded with the m.t.a.s van ness geary street project. another project is for the central subway. it is one of ten artworks commissioned for the new line. it's over 650 feet long, consists of 550 l.e.d. panels between the powell street station and the union street station. it's called lucy in the sky,

and the lights are patterned with unique sequences so that commuters can experience a unique pattern each time they pass through. >> perfect. what about the early day sculpture that was removed from the civic center? >> this is a question that cities have been grappling with nationwide. following the removal of early days in 2018, there was a toppling of statues in golden gate park as well as the removal of the christopher columbus statue. we are partnering with the parks department as well as the community to engage with the public to develop guidelines to

evaluate the existing monuments and memorials in the civic arts collection and evaluate the removal of a monument or statue but also installing new ones. >> finally, it seems like the weather might be nice this weekend. if i fancy taking a walk and seeing some outdoor art, where would you suggest i go? >> well, i would suggest the embarcadero. this work was commissioned with funds from the fire station 35. this suggests the bow of a boat and the glass panel surrounding the structure depict the history of fireboats in the bay

area. >> and where can i go from there? >> then, i would walk up to the justin herman plaza to check out the work of the art vendors. then check out the monuments like the mechanics monument. also, be sure to check out the poster series, installed in bus kiosks along market street, which features four artists each year. >> well, thank you. i appreciate you coming on the show, miss chu. thank you for your time today. >> thank you, chris. >> that's it for this episode. we'll be back with another show shortly. for san francisco t.v., i'm chris manors. thanks for watching. . >> neighborhood in san francisco

>> 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. the tenderloin is home to families, immigrants, seniors, merchants, workers and the housed and unhoused who all deserve a thriving neighborhood to call home. the tenderloin initiative was launched to improve safety, reduce crime, connect people to services and increase investments in the neighborhood. as city and community-based partners, we work daily to make these changes a reality. we invite you to the tenderloin history, inclusivity make this

neighborhood special. >> we're all citizens of san francisco and we deserve food, water, shelter, all of those things that any system would. >> what i find the most fulfilling about being in the tenderloin is that it's really basically a big family here and i love working and living here. >> [speaking foreign language] >> my hopes and dreams for the tenderloin are what any other community organizer would want for their community, safe, clean streets for everyone and good operating conditions for small businesses. >> everything in the tenderloin is very good. the food is very good. if you go to any restaurant in

san francisco, you will feel like oh, wow, the food is great. the people are nice. >> it is a place where it embraces all walks of life and different cultures. so this is the soul of the tenderloin. it's really welcoming. the. >> the tenderloin is so full of color and so full of people. so with all of us being together and making it feel very safe is challenging, but we are working on it and we are getting there.

>> what we're trying to

approach is bringing more diversity to our food. it's not just the old european style food. we are seeing a lot of influences, and all of this is because of our students. all we ask is make it flavorful. [♪♪♪] >> we are the first two-year culinary hospitality school in the united states. the first year was 1936, and it was started by two graduates from cornell. i'm a graduate of this program, and very proud of that. so students can expect to learn under the three degrees. culinary arts management degree, food service management degree, and hotel management degree. we're not a cooking school.

even though we're not teaching you how to cook, we're teaching you how to manage, how to supervise employees, how to manage a hotel, and plus you're getting an associate of science degree. >> my name is vince, and i'm a faculty member of the hospitality arts and culinary school here in san francisco. this is my 11th year. the program is very, very rich in what this industry demands. cooking, health, safety, and sanitation issues are included in it. it's quite a complete program to prepare them for what's happening out in the real world. >> the first time i heard about this program, i was working in a restaurant, and the sous chef

had graduated from this program. he was very young to be a sous chef, and i want to be like him, basically, in the future. this program, it's awesome. >> it's another world when you're here. it's another world. you get to be who you are, a person get to be who they are. you get to explore different things, and then, you get to explore and they encourage you to bring your background to the kitchen, too. >> i've been in the program for about a year. two-year program, and i'm about halfway through. before, i was studying behavioral genetics and dance. i had few injuries, and i couldn't pursue the things that i needed to to dance, so i pursued my other passion, cooking. when i stopped dance, i was deprived of my creative outlet,

and cooking has been that for me, specifically pastry. >> the good thing is we have students everywhere from places like the ritz to -- >> we have kids from every area. >> facebook and google. >> kids from everywhere. >> they are all over the bay area, and they're thriving. >> my name is jeff, and i'm a coowner of nopa restaurant, nopalito restaurant in san francisco. i attended city college of san francisco, the culinary arts program, where it was called hotel and restaurant back then in the early 90's. nopalito on broderick street,

it's based on no specific region in mexico. all our masa is hand made. we cook our own corn in house. everything is pretty much hand made on a daily basis, so day and night, we're making hand made tortillas, carnitas, salsas. a lot of love put into this. [♪♪♪] >> used to be very easy to define casual dining, fine dining, quick service. now, it's shades of gray, and we're trying to define that experience through that spectrum of service. fine dining calls into white table cloths. the cafeteria is large production kitchen, understanding vast production kitchens, the googles and the facebooks of the world that have those types of kitchens.

and the ideas that change every year, again, it's the notion and the venue. >> one of the things i love about vince is one of our outlets is a concept restaurant, and he changes the concept every year to show students how to do a startup restaurant. it's been a pizzeria, a taco bar. it's been a mediterranean bar, it's been a noodle bar. people choose ccsf over other hospitality programs because the industry recognizes that we instill the work ethic. we, again, serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. other culinary hospitality programs may open two days a week for breakfast service.

we're open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner five days a week. >> the menu's always interesting. they change it every semester, maybe more. there's always a good variety of foods. the preparation is always beautiful. the students are really sincere, and they work so hard here, and they're so proud of their work. >> i've had people coming in to town, and i, like, bring them here for a special treat, so it's more, like, not so much every day, but as often as i can for a special treat. >> when i have my interns in their final semester of the program go out in the industry, 80 to 90% of the students get hired in the industry, well above the industry average in the culinary program. >> we do have internals continually coming into our restaurants from city college

of san francisco, and most of the time that people doing internships with us realize this is what they want to do for a living. we hired many interns into employees from our restaurants. my partner is also a graduate of city college. >> so my goal is actually to travel and try to do some pastry in maybe italy or france, along those lines. i actually have developed a few connections through this program in italy, which i am excited to support. >> i'm thinking about going to go work on a cruise ship for about two, three year so i can save some money and then hopefully venture out on my own. >> yeah, i want to go back to china. i want to bring something that i learned here, the french

cooking, the western system, back to china. >> so we want them to have a full toolkit. we're trying to make them ready for the world out there.

we know that same sex marriage originated in the netherlands. we like to talk about san francisco and how we are the mecca but we have a sister in the netherlands and how they promote and push for things to support this extraordinary community. >> what an honor it is to be here. mayor reed, thank you for giving us, not only myself but the people the opportunity to think through. the sister and netherlands and san francisco share so many things. it's something that we feel so strongly about. and i'm here not only to learn about your sister but to learn

from each other where we're good at. we have to lead from example. we have to make our lives equal. everybody feels at home where ever they live. this is something that we take serious in the netherlands. with your leader ship but also the leadership with this amazing community. >> so glad when it comes to the rights of the lgbtq community, we all come together and we stand in solidarity and we make magic happen. that's why it's so good to be here with the queen and promote the work that they're doing in the netherlands and what we're doing in the san francisco. and how we're going to continue to push to support this community to make sure that it's not just these amazing place that's is safe and supportive of this community. but we make sure that the entire world is such. that is what our goal is. having the queen at the for front at the fight, is absolutely extraordinary.

>> thank you so much, your majesty for being here with us today. [applause] >> good morning i'm matt franklin a proud approximate honored president and ceo of mid pen is my great, great pleasure to welcome you to shirley chizism village. >> the ground breaking for the future home of 135 san francisco educators and employees of the district. how about it. [applause] we are done
