pound, pound. you may press star 3 to raise your hands to get in the queue to speak. yes. i'm daved lewis a member of the crisis earnvention team mental health working group. and i would like to i would like to know more about any possibility for having deployed deescalation tech enabling time, distance and repyre, seemed like there was not distance with the officers and the victim of the shooting. based on body worn camera coverage. looks like the officers closed distance quickly i wonder if this was seen consistent with policy and procedure and

department general orders. versus stantlying back creating a perimeter, trying to talk the person out of his knife. that is my question about why distance was closed opposed holding back and deescalate the situation. and men this can be investigated more or spoken to. david eliot lewis, thank you for year service and your this town hall. this is all. >> thank you. thank you, call and mr.llowis. i will answer your question the best i can. without making a judgment on this incident. one of our modes of trin suggest active, taxer training. and i'm going to go through points about our active attack are training. because this is how our officers are trained if they believe that an active attack are event is

occurring. an individual had it is when an active attacker from our department training. an active individual is actively engaged in a kimming or attempting to kill people in confined and populated area and aggressively doing so and has unrestricted access to potential additional victims. the term active attacker described in mass casual events persons are attack in i variety of ways. some example include but in the limited to stabbing, shooting and provides explosive devices orri ed or vehicle recommending. active attackers may use a combination of these modalities. main priority for patrol is to stop the threat. and here is how we define

stopping the threat in our training. stopping the threat come in a variety of ways swift priefls of law enforcement and engage am of the attackers is key to saving lives. data shown that attackers sfop behavior by verndzing barricading themselves or ending their life to prevent apprehension or confranation with officers. now i'm not going to make a judgment to this case i will say this, a lot of the factors i read out were present in this event. and our officers are trained understanding this we are trained with deescalation and time and distance but if an receive believes this event has the makings of an active attacker what we train them is to stop the threat immediately this is our training. it depends on the circumstances.

am again i'm not going to make a judgment on this case but i wanted answer your question the best i can to describe how our officers are trained with active attack and another question i'm glad caller you asked this question because i do want to as i understand a clear message to the public that if we believe that we have an active attacker event we will do everything possible to stop this threat immediately so we don't have loss of life. >> next caller. go ahead. so. i was wondering if -- it sounded like in the body cam footage that the officer who fired the shot thought the knife was a gun. he confused whether the knife was a gun based off the words you are hearing from him asking. i think we should have told mow

that was a knife was that not a knife. it seemed like he thought the knife was i gun is that correct. >> i can't answer what the officer was thinking i can answer what is apparent in the body camera and had the investigation -- what we release at this time. original callers one of them said the person who drove the car in this building had a gun. another caller said it was intentional the officers when the call was dispatched than i were responding to the car driving in the building and they also were responding to what the dispatcher said that this person had i gun. so this is when we see in the video. after the incident, the officer can be heard saying you should have told me he had a knife.

i can't answer your question was who in the officer's mind but what i can answer is what the callers originally reported and the dispatcher to the officer and had the officer said i hope this answer your question. that is as far as i can tick tidon't want to speculate that will come out in the investigation but i can tell you when was reported and what the officers were dispatched to handle when they arrived at that location or that scene. thank you, caller for your question.

>> hello. go ahead. yes. i had a question. since the bruin decision was brought up, many san francisco are applying for c cw permit. gavin newsome signed sb2 to practice and many of violence incidents involving shooting system not in the policy. it is the san francisco police going to enforce this? on january firster take ape stance with other sheriffs and police departments about this ruling? well, sorry any law enacted if the lubecomes law on january first we will follow the law.

you know -- your question about whether or not we will join other sheriffs i can't answer that question. when i can answer is if this luwhen this law becomes effective which as you stated january first we follow the law in the books until such time the laws are repealed or amended.

i'm jr stone i w at abc 7 news. going forward, chief, is there anything by looking at that vo, this man has his eyes covered because. pepper spray and waiving the knife a couple times but could not see where he was waving that knife. going forward is there anything

this you could do so it could be a nonlethal situation. looked like he had no clue where he was waiving that knife? thank you for your question. we evaluate every case from a tactical perspective to see when we learn from this to evolve and get better if we had this again. this will be no exception. had i will say in fairness we don't know what this person could see or not and the call was that the person had i gun. and in fairness to the situation, we don't when he being or could not see i have been pepper sprayed before and sometimes you can weather through that. and -- it does depends on where you are resilience. so we cannot, soup had he could or could not see.

we know is the caller said he had i gun. and the knife came out during the incident. we will electric at this everything about this from a tactical perspective we have a unit that looks at our cases and office involved shootings and basically they look from top to bottom as to what can we do better? and this will happen on this case as well. i don't want to make a premature -- judgment of what the person could see or not see we don't know. you know and officers only have when than i have at the time the other thing if a person whether he or she can see they pull out a fwun and fire, this can be devastating. so we have to deal with when we have in front of us and again it it is a fair question but i want to be fir to the totality of the ss.

we don't know had we don't know and when we don't when he can or can't see or what else might be on that person in terms of a weapon. they can use against the public and the officers.

caller, go ahead >> chief this is jr stone at abc steffen one more follow up question i appreciate the answer. >> person. this is matthew from the san francisco standard the sfpd did in the search mr. yawn's per minute for you first 3 days do you know what his motive was and what gave you the confidence he was not acting alone after you searched. >> we don't have this informing we can release we have searched

his resident and search warranties served and the items and evidence seized is being examinind and locked at this is as much as i can rekosovo we don't have an answer we can release now. we talked with witnesseses about when he said when he got to the consulate is there an idea why he showed up there when he was doing there? >> this is under investigation and there is nothing this we

have at this point that i can release. we are still investigating the case and -- i said we served multiple search warrants well is asa lot to uncover and as appropriate when we can release information we will but this point i don't have anything fourth to release as far as motive or what may have driven mr. ylang to do this. this is reminder each call has one opportunity to call in. we ask callers not to call in multiple times it takes away time from other callers trying to ask questions.

this will condition clude or town hall we have no other
