7:46 am
year and the year before, it is not having the impact with what we need on the street. in derms of list dealers and groups of dealers out there. this is one measure and we measure performance all day long. we mode to see a difference on the street. the other end with the youth side. 2 thing system to have less people who are on the streets we have a lot of people with fentanyl who are passed out on the streets. we like to see less of that. not just he less and get people
7:47 am
off the streets. some of that is treatment. am some incarceration. thereupon is through d p h. and -- there is out roach going out on and i met
7:48 am
7:49 am
7:50 am
contin it we are dealing with people with serious addiction we'll continue to try. >> thank you. commissioner benedicto. thank you. i talked about measures of success the last time we spoke none of tenderloin arrests had accepted treatment yet is this still the case >> yes. in we are over 100 people. but this is the case. >> is there -- i know we all agree we'll will like to see any of the individuals accept treatment. but wishing for that is not i plan. is there a plan.
7:51 am
the plan with public health partners and the offs. some of the people are known to some of our treatment providers and hopefully the relationships long-term. when the people that we engaged with that are under the influence. that fact ours in with refusal the time they are arrested. but there are some reps that exist. people revisit people after released we hope that will play diffident this is is the not police department have you to have reps to get at the issue.
7:52 am
why do you know individuals accept the treatment after release. i you noticed a difference in the tenderloin in talking to folks i appreciate the out reach there. i do irrelevant also appreciate the cordinating with other diameters. i know we have a friend from department of health in the issues dealt with by the d. health and partners in the community. i little this before the time spent waiting for that the hot team or cart team to come and
7:53 am
transport somebody interested in doing manage different is an issue. i feel like the conversations with other diameters and our per ins nun profiters important to help credit the alternative freshth.
7:54 am
this will get in the agenda item on youthful diversion program its important we have an infrastructure of case management to make sure the people are getting the treatment they need. as an alternative. because i don't think there is a lot of us in agreement here that incarceration is not the a. even with some folk who is have a history this might say this. i money if around addiction an understanding of a different path. so. i know the city is trying to help create that and want to reiterate support and anything i can do to help. why thank you. >> chief employmented to thank you and your team for wing on the tenderloin. district. i you heard from the commissioners. temperature is got uponen better. and the upon captain well for
7:55 am
his heard work. wondering if the amount of over dose has it declined in since there has been more fentanyl moved off the streets. i'm curious. may be next time you can report back on temperature whether or not we take the drugs off the street or dropped the over dose we are having. for me, myself, the week i was not here i was in new york visiting my daughter. what i wanted to visit was called a place on point. in new york city. called safe injection site. but the person in charge was busy i did not want to bother him. i see new york as way of something we can city that we
7:56 am
tried in 2018 i know the federal law is against temperature i don't know if the city can do it it probably has to come out of nonprofit. they have taken reduce our 900 people in a year's time. 900 people say their life is with us. i wanted to know if we can look at that and see if we can work with partnership and nonprofits. see if we move this out to i guess the community that is most needed and that is the tenderloin. also i want to talk about the amount of gun violence. in the bay rue. i see it is a rise in the homeless and you have it in the
7:57 am
tenderloin. worning on the amount of ghost guns this has been seized year to date. if you have it. it is lower than it was the number is 86. 86 this year come 99 last year. the bayview gun violence is down and i want to make sure mr. looking at it correct low temperature down in the bayview. 32 shooting this is time last year 24 this year. line sloin down a bill 16 this time last year.
7:58 am
14 had year. the gun violence downful the homeless rate is up. i'm look cam parables homicide rate is up by 3. the tenderloin by 3 as limp okay. that's all i have. public comment. why members like to commencement regarding item 5 the chief's report approach the podium. success condition the getting measured sailing the arrests as a way to see that things improved or less people on the streets things improved is false. and the amount of people that will keep getting intermitt instead programs poresed deal
7:59 am
drugs to surviv in america that's when is helping and will keep happening in ports of entry where the dealers come through. it is facilitated boy the state, anyway. there will not be a decrease in the violence that you. . because the people are not getting the food, housing and the state they need first. next speaker, please. i like to stress how disis there is no report on the delores incident. child abuse tonight. and i feel it is to collude on reports later and not misspeak because of lawsuits.
8:00 am
and then as far as the report on arrests, and the affect it has over doses, and cleaning update tenderloin so it looks better to people who drive through and think it feels nicer for you and comfortable for you. i think you need to let the d athan the arrests of people that use is not guilty working. because according to cbs news fentanyl over dose is the highest point. because you don't see someone shooting in the arm during the love low day does not 19is not happening. i like to point that police the 1s to push folks to get happen is moronic.
8:01 am
and -- i wanted to say i don't have faith in this body in doing resolve to what is happening in the city. i don't have faith with the sfpd. i reached out to cho scott i wanted mote with you about rep rigz and push reform i never called because i don't see a solution. the rep rigz committee did not see a solution on what we could do and hopefully this body could think about reparations because the only way we can repair. next next. >> this is i heard chief's
8:02 am
report give statistics on arrests. last year and i think bias is toward seeing the events. but i did it question in public comment. is of the report include. comparing number of the rests to the number of contickets with pleas this don't flult rest and compare number of rests to convictions of people for selling drugs in i think it is know important fees of data to comper it is important to reduce contacts with the police across the board for reasons and if they are having more rest and convictions they increased condition tacts by aim of percent this is bad. data shows the increase contacts result in violence and trauma
8:03 am
from the community. is this data presented to the commission or only get numbers of arrests in i'm commenting if you can answer that. >> all right. yea. other speakers? you missed a lot when you sit in a car. it expense testify have a car and submit it and miss things. i was almost run over by police the other night wearing a helmet and the cops almost republican me over in the bike lane when i
8:04 am
skate on the mission i see cars parked with lights on. and i stop boy and anybodying on the window and a can we help you. yea. when are you doing. this increased public safety. that's expensive to sit in a car and miss xha what going on and i know i'm at my anxiety riest in a car. i get stuck in traffic i know you don't have laws that aplay to you when you get road ridge you can do when you want. or hit things. 39,000 people die every year. hit by cars. may be you should come out in the streets with us if you want it know us. instead of speeding by and expecting to make a difference. they have no troen trust you.
8:05 am

8:18 am
in include operation genesis. we have summer programs for youth. we take youth out to the camp and have a wild areness program and give, ways. all in an effort to work with our partners to positivism engage with youth. one thing we are working on and continued to work on since our last commission meeting on the topic is moving from a post arrest or post citation diversion model we currently have. to prearrest diversion model. goal to reduce the decrease the chance that youth will enter in the juvenile justice system. decrease in transportation of youth to clark. decrease in cuffing and decrease the nature of the interaction and moving toward a model where on scene we are able to contact
8:19 am
parents, talk about the diversion programful get youth to agree to in a minute that program. let them go and later on they will attends clark and figure out their plan that is the goal. and what coinsides with our work moving toward this model is being resunrised and we are near the end of this revision process. next step will be public comment and i hope that will happen soon. some of the work we have done since the commission last met on this topic we formed an internal working group we have sworn and professional staff working to figure out how to prayingalize this type of program for the department. and so we had a number of internal and external meetings to gain more information from
8:20 am
the other count thes enengage in the programs. and we roached out and ponent to lapd and their programs. and also oak land and their program both of which you heard from at the commission. what we are done is continued it work with our yesterday partners can trying to figure out what the program will look like. we continued to meet with the da office and had a very productive meeting with clark last week and plan on going back next week to understand the process and the programs this are in place now. it is a restorative justice model in accomplice nouchl we are trying to have i better sense of of the w being done. some of the data the successes this they see as we try to build out what the program will look like. as part of building this out we will have liaison in the
8:21 am
department who'll be assigned to work with the justice partners. identified who that personal be and that person will w out of our community engage am division. we are happy to report on that and we have continued to work on resunrising and making edits to dlaesz mou we hope to soon pass to our justice partners for review. lastly to follow up on the next steps. that we will dom we victim collaborative meetings with the justice partner and individuals a part of the program that is lead by mayor's office. mayor's office clark the da office and the public defender in communication with regards to build thanksgiving program out that collaboration will continue. we also are in the process of trying to figure out. what accountability looks like
8:22 am
for individuals that might choose or unable to engage in the program what that follow through will look like and what role the police department will play in that. we are as part of that having conversations with the da office about their role and how we can come to the table on that. we like i said need to finish the mo sxushgs require internal and external review of that and lastly, we have continued to work on the documents that will be associated with the program. the last thing we are waiting on we have made requests for data prosecutor justice partners and waiting on more information. we have a better sense of how we will operationalize this program and waiting on in of that. that's my quick update.
8:23 am
happy to answer questions you might have. commissioner, walker. >> thank you for this presentation. i than we reported the concept of thank you very much output umly the numbers on that we have seen youon the success of diverting prebook are positive. and it is something we are interested in. look at this, i it would be great to get detail friday the other oakland and the los angeles programs. to see how they are work to look at that would be helpful. there is -- the issue of -- making sure that we have enough case management to acomtate this
8:24 am
that is -- at this times going to require case manage. it is you know it is a different approach. and may have the thread of authority but it will be important that we have enough follow up case management we have a lot of good idea and programs and sometimes the case management and followingum on it and having enough personnel exit know everybody is hurting. to hire people. so -- i just i think this i would assume clark is those partners. not organizations part of that group? >> correct. they raised the need they will have to hire more.
8:25 am
that funding something we get out of and, wear of now. not only impelement it and make it sustainable to continue to offer services. >> and infrastructure including logistics. it is likely to be a different. when you do prebooking it is like the authority does in the have hand in the thing yet. intentionally. i will keep bring update issue programs that we had at the department of dbi nonprofits go out and solve problems before there was an official write up which starts the clock and make the connection in our system. if there is i way of solving the issues before. but it does require intense data management and over site
8:26 am
sometimes is not there. so having a description what that looks like if it is not us. i thank you will be important. one things i want to put on the record here is that of upon this prerest diversion program is also manage this we are looking at around addiction and mental health. so as we look at this. we can include that. its irrelevant important that we have an alternative response that is not incarceration and police that is effective as getting people -- inserted in an assistance and help. everybody involved can think about that, too. agreed. commissioner? thank you.
8:27 am
i do want topup hold commissioner walker's statement. treatment and care management and support is essential to addressing the needs of young people that will be eligible for programs. my understanding tell be for first condition tact offenders. divert them from the involvement of the system which is from the data los angeles presented has been impactful inrousing recidivism and young people out of system. i know the chief is invest in the this. the chief did make a connection with [inaudible] the mou the blueprint. we have to modify thing in san francisco we had the communal assessment referral center for 20 years. i'm glad there is move am in the right direction. one of the questions i have for you kara is believe i heard you say we are moving from a post
8:28 am
arrest to a prearrest model. would you clarify that my understanding we are expanding our existing diversion model in san francisco including probation department and the da office. and that the department the way l.a. does creating mou with the community part merto do prebooking not necessarily you know [inaudible]. would you clarify the statement you made does not seem like they are 2 separate programs. >> so. currently, all misdemeanor case are diverted. they are diverted after that citation is issued the goal to take all of those cases. move them toward a prearrest diversion model.
8:29 am
21s is fully built out. all misdemeanor case will be go throughout funnel of the prearrest diversion. if this makes sense. >> and does this then mean that the current model gives young people 3 opportunity to comply and complete the promise once charges have been filed and the book has been made and clark. my understanding of the way l.a. does it is the prebook program give it is them 3 opportunity, same here. if they were to not complete their program, then they get referred to the normal part program and gives them additional opportunity because there is the wait of the probation officer involved in that process. are we saying the same thing >> yets l.a. model is youth are
8:30 am
begin on 3 separate charges 3 separate arrests. they go through the prerest diversion program. where there were still be potentially the traditional model of diversion or may be informal diversion through the probation department we talk about the potential back end accountability if somebody fails during. in that sense the options is what we are trying to work out.
8:31 am
8:32 am
nais something we have not worked out. how many sign to the mou. that is a concern discussion. i believe the america ou that exists between jpd and hubbingelberry or clark might include things beyond the diversion than i may want to rewrite an mou or cope that that has not been discussed. what that model the look like. certainly tell be the police department and clark or hubbingelberry house that sign on. there definitely is i chance that other partners to sign as well. >> my understanding for the sake of clarity is the department based on what this body decides and encourages or requires can contract with the
8:33 am
community partner. create a prebooking program without the da or probation department involved in that process. the city attorney may be chime in. >>. s we valid to look i can't answer that now depends what the model may look like and who is affected. it is too early to say and give advice. please. chief. what i was going to say. >> i will say the goal is to really create the program that works for the city and it may end up looking different low than what the templet from los angeles locked like. i could not say it any better. i think everything is on the
8:34 am
table oui are not locked it. i'm theme hear we are moving past the stage of conceptual wragz and design. right. it look took a who i to get here. along the same lines do we have a time line for the draft alcohol was completed and i know there was an exception requested i'm not sure a time line or time frame? >> the next step to feet for public feedback and we will take that back to the group see what in the commissioner assigned you. would see what if any benedicto. between the 2 of you commissioners. see what if anything in included in the policy from the public feedback and then a [inaudible]. are we close to posting?
8:35 am
>> yes. >> can we get a date. trying to get a date today i don't think we have it. >> i'm going to ask again next week. >> thank you. last question. treatment. i know that one of the recommendations it is executive director was that because this is a first, contact effort you know oftentimes we atomb the first time this person in in contact with the system they are just going to need a baptist coaching and counciling. but what happens is this is the tip of the iceberg and the people will need wrap around treatment support. are those conversation happening with the probation department. i know there are resource imbedded in the probation
8:36 am
system. be able to fill the gabs we know exist and that is something we are talking about now. >> great. i am in contact with the probation department commission staff. on identifying the resource if and when we fwoet that point where we need either pilot with start up funds so there will be that additional support of to fill the needs i know that treatment is e terrible element of the program.
8:37 am

8:45 am
hours and this aim of due to sheriff department policy about accepting that personal the recommendation is to update the unit order in terms of economist to do in the situation. the fourth quarter identified one training failure. we had a complaintant respond to a district station deaf in need of asl accommodations the telecommunication device was not hooked and up not able to provide the service we normally dom the recommendation under that is each station has a language access liaison officer. recommendations remember training was to happen. for the language access officer that all equip audited to make sure it was in connected appropriate low and to review

8:55 am
report. together these reports and annexes equal 800 page of informationil do my best to boil the obligation of information down to a few key points i present in the next 10 minutes. of note neither present third degree evening a the question of why. put another way this focuses on the what, where, when and whom but not time on why. additionally, the presentation is a mirror of one given in february of left year. slide 2. . first off the ripa annual report of release in the january of this year covers data gather in the 2021 by 58 largest law enforcement agency in california and 3 smaller that opted in early. the california highway patrol captures the most data w. 55% of
8:56 am
all recordsful staffs conducted by the california highway patrol. ful this simple 1.7 million out of 3.1 stops conducted in 2021. data collection is governed by offering legislation and any actions taken by california department of justice often upon at the recommendation of the ripa board. all a remind are demographic data collected under the ripa stops reports officer perception. starting at the top level with number of stops by agency. you note the ped speed total number from 20 to 21 declined with reduction role numbers 11, 162. and percentage of 29% yearly this is consistent with other jurisdictions over the same time period.
8:57 am
who is stop in the 21, the same 3 are stopped with the most frequency. those white, black come hispanic/latin x. however the in order which stopped differs with per received hispanic individuals stopped with the most state wide where as in san francisco per received white individuals the largest portion stop. per received black the third largest stopped at the state level 15% of stops. in san francisco per received black individuals make up the second largest group stops 24.7% of stops. spined a minute on this table. when we have is a table showing search rate and discovery rate by demographic group compared to
8:58 am
the per received white demographic of group in 2021 for state as a whole and the sfpd. startszoth left side of the table we see search rates compared to perceived white individuals. at the state level if you are per received black or hispanic you have a higher likelihood of being searched than white vsed the true per received asian or the other groupful with the sfpd in 2021 you were less likely to be searched than a per received white if asian or per received the other groups. per received hispanic individuals have no affect on the likelihood of searched compared to white individual. perceived black vsed stop 3% more likely to be searched.
8:59 am
all result are significant the zero. now the middle of the are chart special talk about the discovery rate analysis. . discovery rate the rate in which officers discover evidence when searching an individual. this is 2 types. discretionary and administrative. ! which an officer requests consent and administrative are indent to arrest and a search warrant or conducting a vehicle inventory there are others out that are conducted however those were not considered by state in this analysis. considering discretionary searchs you see in 21 at the state level all 4 per received groups are less likely to have evidence discovered. as compared to per received white individuals. this is significant for the per
9:00 am
received black and hispanic group it is and not significance for asian and other demographic ams. compered the sfpd in 2021 asian, black and hispanic individuals are more likely to be discovered with evidence or contraband and les likely for the other group. 91 of those are significance. consider administrative searches state asian, hispanic last and i know other groups less likely to have evidence discovered compared to white individuals. per received black individuals slightly more likely to have ~est discovered but in the significance. sfpd in 2021 asian, black and hispanic demographic groups were likely to have evidence than per received white. individuals in the other
9:01 am
demographic group are less like low to have discovered and 91 of the findings in 21 for the sfpd. next slide. this will be our last look at statistics. the ripa report conjunctived an aggression analysis use of force and the receive made the stop. time of day and location, et cetera . to contract impact of the stopped individuals race or ethnicity on weather force was used. compared to white individuals the odds of officers using force during a stop 1. 24 times higher for black and hispanic individuals. at the state level. asian and other individuals officers stopped lower odds of having force used against them.
9:02 am
relative to the odds for individual officers per received white. this holds true with findings when the chp stops are excluded. all at state level are significant. looking at the left side of the slide compared to the sfpd use of force rate in 21, the sfpd had lower rate in all categories as compared to the state. of these are not manslaughter significant. next slide. now the first quarter quarter leave activity for 2023. this is instead of 2022 fourth quarter this is a sneak peek this should be out in the next week or so. of report considers data at first of sdwron march and
9:03 am
captures use of force data late q42022. due to the change in use of force standard. next slide? high level look this is stops over time on the left side of the chart when we see annualized number of stops broken out by race and ethnicity and year. what we see to the right is a per capita number of stops annual fre2018 through 2022. 2 key take a ways the decrease in stop count 2019 and 2020 and on going reduction in per capita in stops over time of that said, those do continue to persist. next. to the left of the slide is the last 6 quarters by percentage. of individuals being stopped by
9:04 am
the sfpd race and ethnicity. no marriage changes over the last 6 quarters. afternoon additionalnants this reportom who we're stopping and what type of stop was conducted. that is was the stop initialled by an officer or dispatched the analysis is simple but consider ru, counts. look that the state did with searches. a look at annualized searches per cap at that time last 5 years. mid 2018 you see the disparity between the number of per
9:05 am
received black individuals searched and black individuals in san francisco residential population come down over time. that said again, the disparities persist. when i referred to them in the following slide says note i will reference race or ethnicity to the same representation in the san francisco residential population. next slide.
9:06 am
new use of force standards in 2022 lowered in thresholds. which increase said the number our then increase use of force significantly. moving from 328 urn the old standards in 20 between the -- moving from around 328 under the
9:07 am
old use standard to 2200 and 2300 in the third quarter. the kwourth quarter data is partially the entire quarter. in the fourth quarter we transitioned to the current use of force standard. when we 47? yea when we consider use of force per capita over time reduction for black individuals and hispanic individuals. that said both fwroup and black individuals continue to have a use of force disparity. the data only considered 2016 through 21 had a consistent use of force standardful report breaks out each in more detail per capita. next. this is just the total number of rests by the sfpd over time
9:08 am
since the beginning of 2019. kwshg 123 had the same number as we did at the beginning of the pan demmics in 2020. >> this is the look at that same data this time broken out race and ethnicity a decline by percentage of black individuals arrested and incline of hispanic/latin x individuals. foiblely a look at arrested per that over time. you know the black individuals come down over time the trend line. this has occurred to a lesser extent for hispanic/latin x individuals.

9:24 am
largest classes since before the pandemic. so we are excited about our recruitment to get more officers on streets. excited about am bas dovers including retired police officers we want to add to every part of the city. but today's press conference are about the people who liver here. the people who work he were. the people who deserve to have a safe community. that's why we're here today. to make it clear that we need to take care of our community. wherever they are all over san francisco and make sure that the victims are med to keep people safer. now and the end of this week and tomorrow the board of supervisors will be deliberating the budget and my hope is to keep our public safety budget in tact to make surety sheriff, police department the da's office, as well as our ambassador programs have the
9:25 am

9:27 am
that in recent years we were not able to do. and that should be exciting to everyone. i hope temperature is excite to me. the robbery this the mayor mentioned that was due to dill gent follow up. but it takes people to do this. when we have shootings or robberies or home invasions and burglars if we don't catch the person at the scene, what has to happen is we have to have enough investigators to put the energy and time in the cases to solve them and that does in the come without investment. things are looking bright are. we have a lot of work and challenges and the mayor mentioned car break in's. even though we are down from 2019 it it is a problem in our city we have to deal with. and we need the police officers on the ground to do this. and i'm excited with what the future looks like and i want to thank our mayor and our partners you will hear from today who are

9:42 am
solution to the admissible health crisis. lesson from the pedestrian with eye toward the future and sends a strong message that san francisco cares about residents. thank you. [applause]. >> all right. thank you so much. i appreciate you being here. are there any questions for anyone about what we are talking about today? [inaudible]. >> so there was a rally yesterday from groups concerned about the cut this is are being med to those diameters for social services. can you talk about the need. >> can you ask the question related this press conference. can you talk about the difficulty in having cut in super portions and funding public service as a priority t. is miles an hour complicated to be clear for example, in our childcare resources, there were no cuts to any programs.
9:43 am
this it is money over 400 million dollars in this budget for childcare. that will sit you know spent for years. and regardless of when people are talking about relating to universal childcare because the voters voted on this. there are limits to what the money can be spent to. in fact the current fiscal year all resources allocated for all the things the childcare community wanted to do, was not spent and will not necessary low get spent. . it is not about cut its is about making changes to address some of the challenges we had a 780 million dollars deficit. since we want to talk about this. everybody else was laying people off in san francisco, not only did city workers not get laid off they got a raise in the midst of a global pan dig we saw
9:44 am
increase in investment in food security and public safety and other community resources we saw funding go from this to this because of our federal support. and nonprofits many minot have been able to set up shop still received grant fund thanksgiving we allocated to them whether they were doing the work or not. and the point is -- we are at a different time even 3 there may be shifts and perceived cuts the fact is many of the organizations are still being made whole. there is a shift we are out of the pandemic. there are some things need anded some things that are not needed and making, justmentless the q that is making sure that the thing that san franciscans care about more than anything now is how do we make sure that someone does not get hurt because someone is in the midst of committing i crime. we are doing everything we can
9:45 am
to make sure there are officers and ambassadors and people and eyes and ears on streets to deal with what people are impacted by. that folks know that criminals cannot come to san francisco and get, way with committing crimes and not be held accountable that is what i say. because we need to if you in perspective. everybody is crying about a cut but it it is not exactly how they are crafting it which means that for those. you have interests to engetting down in the weeds of the budget and looking at the perspective, of how the organizations have grown considering since i have been mayor, and when we had to do to make adjustments people will be made whole they will be doing business and we are still moving the city forward but this investment is need in the public safety. >> you are everthe 11th hour the
9:46 am
message was to the board as they go in the last days of negotiations. >> message has been very clear. because and i'm hoping they are hearing from constituents because i hear from them temperature is public safety. public safety. on all levels. the need to see officers and ambassadors and people walking the beechlt need to make sure when a crime is committed machine is accountable this . is manage from all over communities throughout san francisco. we know there are certain areas are more challenged. but we have deposit to listen to the people who we represent. and as i said earlier the biggest priorities is to make sure that as leaders that we have safe cities. this we are investing and keeping residents of our city safe.
9:47 am
that has got to be a prior no chipping, way at a bit here and there to pay for a neighborhood pet project. because what good are the neighborhood pet projects if people don't feel safe. we have to be we have to make tht number one priority. >> yea. >> there are some businesses that say for example someone [inaudible] who are saying that heel close his 2 businesses because he never got help from the city. what do you say to him and others who are that close to closing or made up their minds already. >> i do i will say that some of the programs this we invested in for small businesses have really done remarkable things. first year free where new businesses opened get all city fees waived incredible. our various signs programs from economic and work formals
9:48 am
development. where we invest in helping people with parklets and build outs. and supporting various neighborhoods people will need to apply they have to do have to go through a process. but there are grants and there are upon no interest loans there are when some of the windows broken there say broken window fund we help to support businesses. i think that might be true for some businesses i would say to any small business they should reach out to office of economic and workforce development on the whoonld you have someone who is struggling on another hand you have i met business owners who got help who are in business because they were able to get the help at the right point when they needed t. we want to protect our small buildings. there is money my budget currently and look i than the board is looking at everything they are looking at office economic and workforce development. i don't want to put that money
9:49 am
on reserves the businesses need this money now. they don't need a bureaucracy to get a few dollars to pay staff and keep doors open. well is money to invest in our budget we ask small businesses to reach out to us. >> it is for chief scott. chief, you mentioned more higher interest in cadets. why are people thinking about joining the san francisco police department now. >> the we are competitive the board passed a package to increase salaries that made us compet than i in this area and
9:50 am
this area competition is stiff. other thing i believe people are seeing victims made and the city and public safety in the police department that matters. you know if you are chose tos choose between know one police department or another you look at benefit and saul rows and support. you look how that police department and this offices are treated when those go on awry i continuing is more desirable. in and doing a lot of work t. is a nobody's game it is also a game of qualitiment the right people who want to serve the city with heart those other people we are attract. saul reese the passport for the police department has done i one 80 in the last few years. and those things matter. and it is more than just more than just
9:51 am
joining a police department to join a police department. we hope that our folks are here for 30 years or more all the things they look at and this turns it around we are seeing the results with applications. thank you. we are done with the press and so if there are other questions from the public we will take those at that time. thank you, everybody for being here today. appreciate it. thank you!

9:52 am
[music] so, can you tell us what it was like for you during your first encounter with the san francisco fire department? >> yep. it was super cool! i got to learn about the dry
9:53 am
standing pipe correction. it is actually called, dry sand piper just stand pipe. tomato. you know. yea. >> so, what is coming up next for what is that for? >> oh , firefighter backsterinvited mow to a fire station to see the cool stuff firefighters use to put out fires. you have seen the had doors open like a space ship from out of nowhere. i close my eye its is like i'm there right now! wow! whoa. watch out, man. what is that for? >> what is this? these are fire engines they
9:54 am
might look alike they are both red. white top and red lights on top. this is a new 2021 fire engine and this is an older 2014 fire engine. if you can't tell, this one is shorter and narrower than our older fire engines. they have cool things like recessed lights. roll up doors. 360 degree cam ares and more that is important as the city is moving toward slower and safer streets adding parklets and bulb outs and bike lanes we need to decrease our footprint to keep us and the community safer on emergency scenes. >> what's back there? >> when is not guilty fire engine. great question. i want to see, sure. >> let's go back and look at the equipment and the fire pump on the fire engine. >> this is a fire pump.
9:55 am
it is cool all the colors and all that. this fire pump and this engine holds 500 gallons of water that is a lot. >> a lot of water. >> it is push out 1500 gallons a minute of water. we can lose our 500 gammons quickly. why we use hoses like this to connect to a fire hydrant and that gives us unlimited amount of water to help put a fire out temperature is important we have enough fire engine in san francisco to put fires out. so we can reduce the injuries and minimize loss of life and minimize property damage.
