6:18 am
many things to criticize i will keep it specific am i want an end to the kettling practice. saturday night reports encourages unlawful arrests that violate the rights of san franciscans and humiliates policy. look what mission local pub labored how y'all treated the under age people no bedroom, snacks or calls or nothing. it is unjustifyd and gross. the policies have negative impacts and waste time and taxpayer dollars and fighting the lawsuit people are the right. there is a huge distrust for the police, look at the [inaudible]. and the practices deepen that wedge think about the people are going to feel about the police. when people say, f00 autopolice this is what they mean. there will not be trust for them growing up.
6:19 am
increasing the police budget is useless if we spends it on lawsuits. there is no point in giving you more money if you will be to defend yourself for policies that you decided had no negative consequence. ban the practice now. [applause] good evening a civil rights lawyer national civil right's organization and i'm long-term residents of the mission district. with -- a long history of -- litigating and working for police reforms and -- and -- frankly i have not seen anything exactly like this in san francisco since 1991 the incident dick becker was
6:20 am
referring to when we had to file a class action lawsuit costs to the city. upon since then i thought the san francisco police had gotten better about knowing when you are allowed to arrest member for a crime. and that you can't sweep people up off the street as if they are garbage to prevent a garthing of -- i talk to -- literally dozens of the families. i don't think i talked to one single youth or adult arestee who heard orders and had an opportunity to dispurse justifying an arrest for failure to. instead. the kids some of the00 autokids i talked to age 13.
6:21 am
were passing by or trying to skate board or watch the eventer passing through the area when they were trapped between police lines kettled. not giving an opportunity to leave and some of the kids they are good kids and saw police and walk up to the police and ask for instructions what do i do to leave the area. and the police direct them to turn around and go in the police kettle where they are blocked in and not an opportunity to leave. so not [inaudible]. hello i vehicle a police

8:16 am
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
8:17 am

8:21 am
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. why do you know individuals accept the treatment after release.
8:22 am
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 transport somebody interested in doing manage different is an issue. i feel like the conversations with other diameters and our per
8:23 am
ins nun profiters important to help credit the alternative freshth. 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
8:24 am
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 his heard work. wondering if the amount of over dose has it declined in since there has been more fentanyl
8:25 am
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 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
8:26 am
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 tenderloin. worning on the amount of ghost guns this has been seized year to date. if you have it.
8:27 am
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. 14 had year. the gun violence downful the homeless rate is up. i'm look cam parables homicide rate is up by 3.
8:28 am
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 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.
8:29 am
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. and then as far as the report on arrests, and the affect it has over doses, and cleaning update
8:30 am
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. 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.
8:31 am
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 report give statistics on arrests. last year and i think bias is toward seeing the events.
8:32 am
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 from the community. is this data presented to the commission or only get numbers of arrests in i'm commenting if
8:33 am
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 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
8:34 am

8:48 am
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 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.
8:49 am
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 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
8:50 am
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 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
8:51 am
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 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
8:52 am
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. happy to answer questions you might have. commissioner, walker. >> thank you for this presentation. i than we reported the concept
8:53 am
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 that is -- at this times going to require case manage. it is you know it is a different approach.
8:54 am
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. that funding something we get out of and, wear of now. not only impelement it and make it sustainable to continue to offer services.
8:55 am
>> 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 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
8:56 am
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. 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
8:57 am
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 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
8:58 am
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. 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
8:59 am
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 begin on 3 separate charges 3 separate arrests. they go through the prerest diversion program. where there were still be
9:00 am
9:01 am
9:02 am
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 community partner. create a prebooking program without the da or probation department involved in that process.
9:03 am
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 table oui are not locked it. i'm theme hear we are moving past the stage of conceptual wragz and design.
9:04 am
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? >> 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.
9:05 am
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 system.
9:06 am
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. those are my questions thank you.

9:26 am
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. who is stop in the 21, the same 3 are stopped with the most frequency. those white, black come hispanic/latin x.
9:27 am
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 the per received white demographic of group in 2021 for state as a whole and the sfpd. startszoth left side of the
