curb has the kind of guy i am. i'm having a hard time understanding why. you know, so i think something is going on. i believe i'm being scammed. i think it's a scam when you look at it it's a scam. i'm being scammed and i'm being hurt, i'm being hurt. and i know people who are watching, people know what is going on and pretend that nothing is going on. i don't know when it's going to stop, i don't know when it's going to end. i think this is dangerous, very bad. but they're violent, people who touch me on the street, i cannot pass by people and i cannot walk. so i'm in prison. i think that's imprisonment if you cannot stop. i get assault beside 30 people a day, people touch me, if they

touch me, that's assault, i don't understand why? why? what is going on. i've been living here my whole life. i don't get it, why is this happening? why can't i pickup and live? i don't know, i don't know why, you know. okay, thank you. >> i like to use the overhead as usual, i'm paulet brown and i'm here concerning my son aubrey who was murdered august 14, 2006. still today his case is not solved. this is june, july, and then august, is coming up. i am every year, within a month or two months before, the anniversary of his murder, i

start feeling some type of way. and my feelings come back. even when i look at my children that i have now, that is left, i'm glad that they're here and not laying in a grave somewhere but they come back up about my handsome young boy with the beautiful smile. he existed. he's still my child, even though he's murdered. he's still my baby. i still remember things about him. i just don't want his case, even though it's a cold case, i want to keep it alive in people's eyes in the system's eyes, that we still grief. we still hurt for our children. i still hurt even mothers and fathers are still hurting. i dwael his father all the time, he does not act like he's hurting but i know he does. this is all the people involved with murdering my child. i'm not going to read their

i was prepared to say a big thing, but i'm not ready, i think it's, we have to make sure i think, again i'm going to repeat the idea responsibility, critical thinking but so. remember something please. emotional disorder is contagious. so we are dealing with a push from the tien fraction of humanity. let's face it they're dealing with emotional disorder. it's totally out of control. we have to control this, that's going to be the solution we are dealing with sick people. so we know this, but make sure there are ways, i don't inspect you. it's getting very. you're going to lose your jobs.

it's going to be robert. pay attention, now. we don't have much time just, okay, i'll be back to tomorrow. i think we have the solution to address these guys for what they are, they are sick. we are not hopefully. so, have a nice night. >> we're approaching 800 going intentional and unintentional fentanyl.

health point the point of the supervisors that say, that is arresting drug users results in increased fatalities. so that is a portion of the 900 dead to get an idea of what that looks like. thanks. >> president elias, that's the end of public comment. line item 3, consent calendar receive and file. march and april, 2023. >> can i get a motion? >> motion to approve. >> i'll second. >> sergeant? >> members of the public that would like to make public comment recording line item 3, consent calendar please approach the podium. and there is no public comment, commissioner walker. >> yes. >> commissioner yanez. >> yes. >> commissioner byrne. >> yes.

june 18th, this past father's day on sunday. a car to car shooting between the occupants of two weeks resulted in two victims sustaining gunshot wounds. one victim was jird which was a ten-year-old which was hit and his sister was also struck but no injure aoeg requiring transportation to the hospital were sustained. so this shooting started at stockton and beach, the incident started at stockton and beach. what we know at this point, there was some type of dispute between the occupants of the two vehicles that resulted in the exchange of gun fire and that incident and travel, toward pier 39 and south on the embarcadero traveled for almost a mile and a half and ended half. numerous shots were fired

during this mile-plus, car to car incident. as i said, there were a total of, outside of the victims that were shot there were a total of 4 people that why injured and the other girl that was hit but not transported. this was a horrific incident, our officers got there in about four minutes and there were numerous calls that came n.paramedic and medics got there and finally located the victim and this resulted in the two individuals who were transported who we believe were involved with this incident. one of the individuals, the male has been booked for an outstanding felony warrant, weapons related and also for, wreckless discharge of a firearm. so that investigation is still open and on going, there is a

lot of video out there that our investigators are trying to go through, comb through to put together the exact picture of what happened. we do think that we made progress in this case but that's all i can report at this point. luckily nobody was killed in this incident because it was horrific. a lot of people out, pier 39 as we know is very popular destination for both our city residents and people who visit our city. we were very fortunate that this was not worse than what it could have been. couple of other incidents that happened, it was also a very significant shooting in the tenderloin in the on june 13th at 1:37, this resulted in a homicide. officers respond today a shoot anding found the victim lying on the sidewalk. the officers rendered aid until the to the victim who was

transported to the hospital where the victim later succumbed to the injuries. no arrest was made, our investigating are making some progress and we will keep the public and the commission posted in the results as we get them. there were four shooting incidents this week resulting in four victims and two unknown victims that i just reported on one. there was another shooting in the 400 block of turk, numerous subjects were involved in the altercation and one victim was dead and left the scene. that person collapses in the 200 block of levinworth, later, second victim was shot. they flagged down a unit that summoned on ambulance, they called for stabbing victim who then responded the person. that is still under investigation, no arrest made yet on that particular incident. it was another incident at

mcallister and hide. officers responded to the san francisco general hospital for call of a self transported gunshot victim. the driver was detained and interviewed by the sheriffs but the location of the shooting has not been determined. so no arrest has been made on that incident yet. on polk and post at 3:33 am, officers respond today several shots fired and found, people who called reported two victims lying on the street and possible gunshot wounds. officer did not locate any victims and the search was negative. so we have not verified that anything was shot from that incident. we did however recover multiple rounds and various caliber extended casings from the scene. officers located several witnesses but have not been able to locate any shooting

victims or suspects from this incident as of yet. that investigation is on going. couple of other significant sdintsds, we had a significant arrests this was an aggravated assault hate crime incident arrest and a commercial robbery. this injuried at on june 12th and 1200 block of tomas street. two subjects entered a towing business volving selling of a vehicle. the subject ordered the victim to the ground at gun point and kicked the victims multiple times. there was about 2000 on the counter quh the subjects grabbed the money and fled. san francisco officer attempted to stop vehicles as they fled in different locations. officers located one vehicle

which was empty. witnesses directed officers to a suspect. the subject and vehicle one subject and another vehicle still remain outstanding. so good effort on the officers but we still have work to do on that one. i will wrap this up with a recap on our efforts in tenderloin. received 300 grams of fentanyl. to date in 24 weeks, that's increase of 149 percent compared to seizures this time last yaefrment total narcotic that includes all type of narcotic is 95.426 grams. that's an increase over last year. in terms of for possession of

sales, we have 390 individuals arrested. we had 566 for the totality of 2022 so going at the pace that we're going we'll exceed that. and most of the arrest is sales of fentanyl in terms of the other effort to curve the other usage. of those 4 people that have identified or were identified as being from the city of san francisco. so that trend conditions as well. california patrol released their statistics that i made sure commissioners received and for the public, that included 92 total arrests and 18 driving under the influence arrest, 6 drug recognition expert evaluations, 7 non fentanyl

arrests, 19 fentanyl drug arrest. 122 vehicles, 41 stolen vehicles recovered. and a recovery of 428 grams of fentanyl. 957 grams of pheting and 2 19 grams of coke rain and 31 grams of heroin. and 8,000 grams of cannabis and grams of various pills. and this was released by the governor's office of state of california. i will update the commission and the public when we get the next release of the statistics. and last thing general crime trends, homicides we're one above where we were last year, 23 as compared to 22, total of violent crimes, we are up 3%, total property crimes we are down 6% and that is a 5%

reduction and total of part one crime. and year to date is 91 percent and that concludes my report. >> thank you, chief. i was wondering is the department doing anything or making any efforts to address the four shootings that have happened this week? or the up take in shootings? >> the shootings this week, we department believe, yes we are first of all, the investigation of those shootings is intense and on going. there are, there were other shootings three other shootings. two of the three we believe are related, those were two shootings where we have not been able to determine where they happened or whether they happened in the city. and then the, there was a shooting on the freeway which the california highway patrol

is handling even though it occur in the city, it's their jurisdiction, we will assist if requested on that shooting. and then the homicide in the tenderloin which we believe, well, can't spill the motive what we believe, but we made some good progress and we do believe that we're going in a really good direction in that case. overall these shootings appeared not to have been grouped or gang-related, at least one that we know about this week. so there is no connection except for the one that we believe is related. and we don't believe that's a gang-related shooting as well. part of our strategy, i mean, being that these isolated incidents, it's like the embarcadero, helps to have coverage so. we we adjusted our

patrols to up our coverage in embarcadero. and the mission last week, that person of interest has been taken into custody. that investigation is still on going. we don't have any indication that we're going to have any retal tory shootings. a lot of this is getting out with the community, and making sure that they have the latest information. presence helps as people feel uncertain and they're upsetting when you have a shooting in your neighborhood. in terms of our overall shooting strategy, that has not changed and that is geared on. and making sure that we, that we try to get those individuals and their families before, they get involved. so that effort is on going. we are, significantly above where we were last year in terms of that type of

engagement, trying to invite the people that we believe are at-risk. and that is going to be on going strategy because we know, what we know in terms of the people in the city that are most at-risk. so that's really the kruks of our issue. >> thank you, president elias. a couple of questions, chief, so the mission street shooting you believe that to be gang-related? >> we, and the person of interest does have affiliation that does not mean that it was affiliated by any gang-related circumstances. but that person of interest, let me say this just to be clear. there is more work to be done on that case. there is evidence that we have

discovered that needs further work but there is no indication that it was motivated by gangs. >> i understand your distinction. as regards the shooting over at pier 39, is that gang-related? >> we don't have any indication that that is gang-related right now at all. >> sxl one of the individuals is under arrest and the other person is in the hospital, still? >> i believe that person has been released but they have not been placed under arrest yet. there is still a lot of investigation to do. >> so one of the people that was, in the black sedan for lack of a better word has been arrested by the san francisco police. >> yes, the person in the black suv was booked by our department. >> and the other person was released? >> the other person was. >> he was in the black sedan as

well. >> it was a lady and she, that person has not been arrested. >> okay. and finally, chief as regards, the m.o. u with the district attorney's office, is there any update on that? >> the current m.o. u is still in place and just, still work, we have, well we're down as far as the mou and that's been given to the commission and posted publicly. so it's a mat per of agendizing that, not to the final conclusion. >> but given the mou to the police commission? >> yes. >> thank you. >> thank you, president elias, chief thanks for the report. just wanted to confirm the pilot team in the tenderloin

that is meant to arrest drug users, is that still 8 officers and one sergeant? >> it's still 8 officers and a sergeant yes. >> are there any plans to expand it? >> we will expand to do more in the night hours >> and can you say what that may look like? >> i don't have the number now. a lot of this has to balance but we will expand it, but as we, figure out how to big that unit can be, i will let you all know. >> thank you. wanted ask you about the chp, it was publicly reported last week that the chp is making

pretax stops in the tenderloin at least. were you aware of this? >> well, i definitely saw that report. i believe the commissioners and everybody that i talked to in chp has a different opinion than what was reported. and what they said from the start, they do not pretext stop, including violations. but they do not do that for the purposes of some other investigation. >> their pr officer like end it to fishing. >> their pr person for the public, reported fishing, fishing for criminals, seems like that's a kind of definition of a pretext stop. but you're saying that the chronicle got it wrong.

>> well i'm saying with my kfrtionz with the detail as well as the san francisco chp officer does not agree and share that opinion. i cannot say what the pr told the chronicle, i was not part of that conversation. i cannot validate, i can tell what the commissioner told me. >> okay, thank you, that's everything for me. >> commissioner yanez. >> thank you, president elias. i had a couple of questions, my understanding, there were there for numbers, 91 and 53 citation south side what i read somewhere. >> nobody has accepted treatment upon release? not yet? >> and do we plan to continue

with the strategy? i'm >> yes, i'm hopeful that changes. i just want to make sure that the public and the commission understand, we're not confusing health addiction services from the criminal justice part of this. you know, they're there should be as part of the commissioner sfrs. we're trying to change the culture of the streets where people use openly. and the one tool that we do v to do that, we have engaged with folks that do that, but we have not gone past that.

we sited in the past but we have not tried to get people off the streets. and the overall goal is to try to get people to help. and hopefully, some of them if not as many as possible will take up that offer. and hopefully, people can accept and accept whatever my understanding is that there is a second offer. >> i remember last week, you mentioned the lead program, is there any possibility of we opening or revisiting that possibility of providing that

in alternative for detension. >> it's not in the budget this year. when we did the pilot, the police department did not ask or receive any additional funding. we just used the resources that we had to do that program. but the other agency needed some funding. as far as we know, the participating agencies have not requested it's not in the table right now. hopefully we can revisit that. >> last question around some of the reports around the incidents with the chp, i understands that there were guns drawn at that point.

are there suggestions coming from our department on how those efforts from external parties impact the perception of the policing in san francisco and how that is going to have an impact on our department. >> yeah, we have not had any incidents that have risen to the level of debrief, and the effectiveness of the program and it's not just the sta statistic that we have. i think time will tell whether that is a factor. i can say this, i have goent a lot of community feedback, i have not received any negative feedback on how the chp is

communicating. i have not gotten any negative. we have not had any incident together that rudder a tactical debrief. definitely those conversations have been happening. and the answer to vice president oberstone, what my office has been, they have their own poll size but they do understand, fully understand that this needs to be done the right way. >> and in the sake of clarity are there new services being offered? >> i don't know if they're new. the services that, well i don't believe that they're new. the services that have been

available and made available are still the same services as far as i know. there are addiction services across the city. some of our cbos those are still in existence. i don't believe there is anything at this point. it really trying to focus on making sure that the people particularly if they have been arrested, that they get at least an opportunity to partake in those services. >> got it, thank you chief. >> thank you, president elias. the issue of the treatment, i know that we have when we did our resolution around the heart recommendations or the cart recommendations, we also included making sure that we

were aimed at the heart which is the public health department of emergency services. i know you're all discussing that hand off as it were. are the s*efshses available when you're in the conversation? are there people ready to take people to a different area? like if they want to go to treatment? are there people there to transport as partners? is the partnership working, i suppose? that entails a couple of things, somebody using when officers come up on them and/or, in a state where they're not doing well.

we had one but to answer your question, i do understand and know that dph is out with their street medicine they are out and trying to engage while we're doing what we do. and then the services are offered when they get booked or when they get sited or and/or when they get released.

and toes arrested were local, is that the number on this current? >> it's probably more than that. as of today, there were four people either identified that they were from san francisco or records that they were identified. most of them were either out of city or out of state. and i have a question about that robbery. do you think that people are aware of the activity at the location? sometimes we've seen these type of robberies around and

somebody shows up and because they are aware of it. was it just an arbitrary thing that happened. do you know if there was planning around it. we do have some showing up to be a car. so we have seen those. i don't know, i don't know that that was the case on this one. and i will follow-up but i don't have that answer in the briefing that i have. but that is a thing that we see. >> for members of the public that would like to make a public comment, please approach the podium.

>> good evening, again, i just want to report on the article that was published october 19, 2022. about zero dollars being paid out foyer homicides nearly a decade. managing this so they can find outweighs to pay tip sters whether they have criminal records or not, whether they're involved with the crime. find me a way to pay them so they can, so that the case can be solved.

there is people that saw that and they want to come forward. money talks, it does talk, it will help. there is 250,000 reward sitting right here. where is this money at? where is it? can i go talk to them? can i talk to somebody about finding ways, other way to see pay tip sters to find out about unsolved homicides? i come here asking this, somebody can do something. hire somebody. i'm tired of being passer fied. i want other way to see get tipsters. my son's anniversary is coming

up, 17 years. it's been 17 years. nobody wants to go through this. i'm tired. >> president elias that's the end of public comment. item number 5, report on dpa director's discussion. director henderson. >> award winning, director anderson. >>--henderson. >> multi. i'll keep my report short this week. dpa has opened 340 case thz

year and we have 265 cases currently pending. we sustained 29 case sxz mediated 14 cases. we have 20 investigation that's have gone beyond the 9-month period. and 19 of those cases are told with criminal or civil cases that are pending. with outstanding decisions, waiting, we have six case that's are waiting for commission decisions. and we have 88 cases that are outstanding waiting for chief decisions. in terms of the weekly trends, this week, the number one allegation with 21% of the cases, were for allegations of an officer failing to take required action. and the 2 highest stations there were two this year with three cases each, i had the most allegations from this week.

in terms, i don't have, updates for out reach or audit, we've been very busy this week with intern program. i'll continue to give you periodic reports. we have two administrative case that's are in closed session. in the hearing room with us, is chris senior investigator and also jenel kaywood who is our director of policy. that is here today. for folks that are interested in contacting dp a, website is sf-got.org, 415-241-7711. we have cases that are on the consent calendar, i think we approved them. i promised the commission that i was going to return with a

summary of the things that we talked about from last week, i'll still working on that but i'm going to give that to you. that's the new agreement with the department of publishing last week's discussion items. i'm working on it and put it together but i want to give them to the chief before i present it here. >> thank you, director anderson. did i miss, have we made any progress on the chief's hearings? has there been any? >> hello, the numbers are the same, is that what you mean. >> all right, sergeant. >> for members of the public that would like to make public, please approach the podium. >> i'm going to say good night, it was going to be about the chief's report.

i think it has become critical. what is a police officer? for example? i don't want to offend anything but i don't think it's your role . you're not a doctor, so people, problem with drugs and everything. the blurring of the lines here, we're getting in total confusion, that's no good. it's now.

thanks. >> line item 6, commission reports and possible action. commissioner discussion will be limited to calendar future meeting. commissioners reports and commissioner announcements identified for consideration at a future commission meeting. >> vice president. >> just a quick one from me. yesterday we had a working group meeting for d g.o. 110, activity that was scheduled to be the last working group. although there seems to be unanimous consent that we needed one more. so it will be back by popular demand in two weeks which would

be our final working group on that policy. >> thank you. commissioner walker? >> commissioner walker: thank you, president elias. a couple of things, when is that i, i have been having on going discussions with some community folks and department folks about the patrol specialist program, we're hoping to present to the commission next month to get an idea where the commission stands. and i really appreciate the efforts on behalf of the department to engage in that conversation. it may be helpful on some of the issues talking about the different roles out on the street. and i recommend this for all commissioners, if you have not gone. i had a wonderful tour of the crime lab, very new building. i think it was finished just before covid.

really amazing and interesting. i want to thank director powell for meeting me there and showing me around. it's really interesting and very impressive and i just, i would like to sort of introduce this topic because i brought it up to director powell and had also discussed at an event, i cannot remember the head of homicide investigations. the issue of that has been brought up here a lot. how it's possible to do a different type of award to help investigations move along. i have to say, everybody thinks it's a really good idea. and figure out what our restrictions are.

now i think that they are described and defined by statute that it has to lead to a conviction of some sort. i would like to look at that and see if it's possible. president yanez. >> councilmember yanez: thank you. i want to thank the staff for turning the dgo draft and turning it around so quickly. i already sense and feel that there are some improvements, thank you for incorporating some of the feedback already provided. sometimes our tough

conversations lead to better products and this is one of our incidents where we will walk away with much improved policy. since we're losing the first week of july, i would like to postpone until july first so we can get as much as community input as possible, if that's okay, that's something that would allow us to expand the community process. and the other update i have, i did meet once again with some of the folks at the referral center. i'm still preparing to launch the prebooking program. and i have one specific question for you chief, when we get to the point of beginning

to initial the process, i know this has been a process that has taken place for over a year as far as figuring out what the mechanics and the community entity and the department to enact and initial a prebook program. are we prepared to devote the natural resources as far as staffing to be able to begin that process once we get to that place where we're ready to launch this program? >> yes we've had some talk about what that would look like. depending on what type of fence. it's a pretty small population of offenders. just based on the sites.

so i'm actually getting more data from chief miller from juvenile probation so we can know exactly at least year to date and as much as you can provide. right now it's a small universe so i do think that will allow us the ability to get this off the ground. we're still in discussion of what that will look like. we'll be prepared. >> i do intend as i mentioned last week, put together a resolution to initiate the process. if we don't prioritize, i know our community partners are interested in launching this, from my understanding, chief

miller is in support of us going in this direction so i'm hoping that those conversations continue to happen and we can launch this as soon as possible. i think that the july department on this update? >> we can present this as far as where we are with it. i don't anticipate that we'll be launching. >> great. and on another note, i you know, consider it and i want to thank you and the department for the responses. that's a coverage responded within four minutes, i understand four minutes and contained the situation.

i really want to send my appreciation. i know you were up late at night making sure that communication was clarified examine contained. and it lead me to start thinking about at some point last year, we had a presentation around community policing plans. and i really feel that considering the increase and shootings and gun violence this year and incident of violence this year, it would be a great opportunity for us to have a presentation about what the community engagement division is doing to to create more relationships to get young people into services and treatment. to really improve our relationship with the communities that we serve.

>> sergeant? >> for members of the public that would like to make public comment. please approach the podium. >> and there is no public comment. >> next item please. >> line item 1. discussion pride alliance on sfpd pride patches, discussion? sergeant winters? >> hello welcome, thank you so much for coming. >> thank you, president elias, vice president oberstone and chief scott and director anderson. i know some of the commission were not in the commission when this was approved back in 2019. i want to give an overview how the pride patch came about and

the impact it has had here and around the country. and also san francisco pride alliance in support of chief scott. so next slide. so pride alliance, the purpose is public employee group. we're not a union but we advocate for lgbtq members. anyone who knows, histories knows that once about a time somebody like me a trans women could not serve openly much less get hired. so advocate for members continue to go ensure that we, are out there in the community attracting members of our lgbtq community to this profession. i believe we need a police forced to build relationship within the city. that's part of the proud

alliance. we also work collaboratively with the department on policies which impact lgbtq community. over the years some of those have been the san francisco police department lead the way on our policy, around interacting the transgender and non binary individuals, i still get inquiries from around the country that want to mirror our policy. so it's at the collaboration that we can guide policies that help ensuring that policing is more equitable with lgbtq. and we work with officers for justice, going back to trying to advocate for our officers and recruited workforce. part of that collaboration just an example a few years ago, we actually, all of the, the peg groups as they're known met

with the director of dhr we had concerns and questions to understand the eao process, how that process went. so, collaborative we work with dhr to create more transparency for our members. and then we meet with the chief monthly to discuss issues that affect our members and the lgbtq. next slide. so the pride patch was initialed in 2019, officer patulia who was suppose to be but he had to stay and help serve our city. it was support and champion by chief scott, thank you chief. and create not only a bridge to gap between lgbtq community and sfpd but also to benefit lgbtq

community organizations. 2019, the commission approved the wearing of the patch, thank you. and we became the first law enforcement country in the nation to authorize officers to wear a pride patch during pride month. so really sfpd really leading the way. local impact of the pride patch project, since 2019, we raised over 19,000, we've raised 19,000 in our first year. that was first year alone. and our inaugural was street use. so we're able to present them for with a check for $19,000 to help some of the most marginized members of the community our youth, kicked out by their families and come to san francisco to find a chosen family and larkinstreet helps them and we were able to

directly benefit them. program to date, we raised over $30,000. the most resent castro country club, which is services to lgbtq members and lgbtq community. and also, lance was honored by the board of supervisors for this ground break project. national impacts department around the country are authorized the wearing of the pride patch. it's increased awareness, officers in law enforcement, and departments around the country continue to use sfpd as a leader, not only around policy reform but on our lgbtq policies. they serve as a framework for a lot of departments. if you look at the patches, it's coast to coast, east coast, west coast, middle of the country, even florida, there is departments in florida that have adopted pride patches.

you know, i see this as a huge benefit. when we're out on the streets, when we wear a pride patch, it's a conversation starter a lot of times. people realize, like, you know, they can be seen because a lot of folks don't realize, there are still cities and communities in this country where people from the lgbtq community don't feel safe going into law enforcement and there are some communities where it's not safe and when they come here, we want them to see that here in san francisco, they are safe coming to us. that we are here to protect, that they see them. we have members to meet them where they're at and the pride patch is part of that. and the future pride alliance, the last couple of years have been exciting. last year was the first year pride alliance partnered with the other public safety agencies in the city.

we're continuing that and we're going to expand our representation to the sheriff and the police department. because we want to ensure no matter what part of the public safety, lgbtq, people in the city meet, that they that those departments are prepared to help them, whether it's policies, training, we want to ensure all public safety on the same page when it comes to helping the lgbtq community. and also representing lgbtq departments in all of those departments. going into our next fiscal year, we're going to work on the pride alliance umbrella. and so i just want to thank you for pride alliance board. thank you for your support of the pride patch package.

the fact that we've been able to make an impact, means a lot, means a lot to me. means a lot to our members. >> thank you again for coming. one of the things that i ask is that you send us the link so we can donate to the cause. i'm the only member of this commission that was here in 2019 to be able to get the patches and the shirt. and we had to modify >> so make sure that you give us the link so we can spread the word and get people to donate to this amazing cause. >> thank you, and i did bring swag, commissioner walker asked that i bring some swag so i did bring some. so if anybody wants to purchase

amazing, representing the lgbtq folks to march in the pride parade. and as a result, umared and you know, it's, it's the situation that a loted of us come here because we're not accepted in other places and that was especially painful for a lot of us going through that conversation. so i just want to applaud you for the work you did on that. and i want to applaud the pride, the pride organization for really being inclusive and supporting our police especially the pride alliance. and if you allow commissioners, i would be honored to join the pride alliance. >> absolutely. >> and i do want swag. >> you definitely want swag. >> i'm marching. >> and t-shirt. >> exactly. thank you, thank you and thank
