4:00 am
day our police officers are working in various stations across san francisco putting their lives on the line to ensure the public is safe. and some of the examples that you will hear about today are examples they may seem as though they are above and beyond the call of duty. which in many cases they are but this is what our officers are out in the streets doing every day and not always getting the support and the credit they need. we have seen a bit of's change and shift in how the city and county of san francisco and residents and the political lead eshs have upliftd and supported the department. in ways we have not done in the past. in fact. we are working on those ways to make changes to policies to ensure that we are not just focussed on making changes to the policies especially political leaders like me or the
4:01 am
commission who may not understand what it means to be out well on the streets. what it means to put your life on the line to deal with life or death situations. but these officers do and despite the challenges and sometimes confusion in general orders, they still step up every day. and we appreciate that. we appreciate your service and your work and we appreciate the fact that today as we honor their work. so many companies in san francisco and leaders in our world have decided to step up and to really be advocates for the police department. whether it is the commercial that talk about the verse stories that our officers, thifrngs to lares an and avenue green light and their w to elevate the actual individuals who are the front line officers of the department. stories than i tell, why people have decided they want to be a part of this
4:02 am
department. or whether again the changes to policies in the thing this is we are trying to do here, for increases in saul row. recruitment bonuses and changes to general orders we know this work guess hundreds in hand in restoring morale in the department and making sure that you know the leader of the city and leaders of the city support the work you do skoal you can roll up slows and get the job done. despite so many of the challenge s persist the department has been doing amazing work we are starting to hear about. some of the various retail theft prescriptions that occurred billed on i grant from the state. those arrests have been phenomenonal. we have seen our bay car operations yield extraordinary results. we are seeing the numbers finally start to decline and people are getting the message. that you cannot come to san
4:03 am
francisco and expect to get away with crime. yes. we will help and you we will support and you give you a second chance but, no, you will not get away with it once you cross the lines. that's whattor officers are demonstrating with actions every day and why we have to take a moment to pause and to reflect on this extraordinary work. of you don't always hear about the stories. you don't always hear this san francisco has one of the lowest homicide rates that we had in decades in our clearance rate for the homicides are extremely high compared to other major cities across the country. you hear about the crime and you see the videos but you don't always hear about the results this our officers including the ones honoring today, they bring the results daily with their investigations, with their diligent work and with the arrests thymic in order to make
4:04 am
sure accountability is the forefront of everything we do here in san francisco . today, we say thank you. we recognize your store and hes elevate them so this people understand how have you been it is to have folks like you out on the streets thank your families and your friends community of people who are here because we also know that you know it is part of not just you doing the job but also them. who live with you daily competence keeping you in their prayers to ensure when you go out you are coming home safe and appreciate and you the work do you and today it is is irrelevant a small token of appreciation for all you have done and will continue to do to serve and protect the people of the city and county of san francisco. thank you so much for your service.
