>> san francisco has been experiencing a challenging time. and has been receiving a lot of criticism. but what we know that happens every in and out despite in the political westerlied or in other parts of san francisco, every 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 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 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 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 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

[applause] clear clear

going 90 charlie. go ahead. we moved to san francisco in 1982. we came from the philippines. i have three kids nathan, jessica and iva. i was really young. when i had neat, i turned 19. and then two weeks later, he was born. so when he was fine, i used to watch cops all the time. all the time and so he would watch with me. he had his little handcuffs and his little toy walkie talkie. and then whenever the theme song came on, he would walk around and he just thought he was the baddest little thing. i think he was in kindergarten at sheridan because he and i

attended the same elementary school there was an officer bill. he would just be like mom officer bill was there then one day, he said, mom, i touched his gun. and he was just so happy about it. everything happened at five minutes. i would say everything. happened at 4 to 5 years old. it's like one of those goals to where you just you can't you can't just let go. high school. i think you know everybody kind of strays. he was just riding the wave. and i mean, he graduated. thank god. one day i think he was about 20 or 21. he told me, he said mom. i want to be a cop or a firefighter, i said. no you're going to be a firefighter. but that's really not what he wanted to do. his words were i want to make a difference. and that was a really proud moment for me

when he said that my dad was a cop in the philippines for 20 years. i think a lot of that played a role into his becoming a cop. my dad was really happy about it. my mom. she was kind of worried, but i just figured i can't stop him. he can make his own decisions. stu. i just want to say what's up? how you doing? good. good. no i'm trying to look good for us to looking good for us to so when he was in the police academy, mind you this kid was not a very studious kid. but i've never seen him want something so bad when he was home. he'd be in his room studying the codes. he really fought for it. hi. what's your name? i'm nate. nate is great with kids, and he would give them hugs or give them stickers.

i think that that's a positive influence on the kids, and then the people around you see it. once he makes that connection with people and they trust him that foundation that respect people look at you and see your actions more than your words and so that i think will reach people more than anything. you could say you later, brother. thank you. all right, see you. it's a really hard job. i know you. you see a lot of the negative for me. i would not put myself through that if i didn't care. you know, you have to be the right kind of person. you have to have the right heart to want to do that. when people ask me if you know what my son does , um, i just tell him he's a cop , and i just feel like i'm beaming with pride. i always told him when he was young that

he would do something great. and so to see it. it's i have a moment. i'm very proud of him. >> good morning, everyone. >> thank you for joining us on this beautiful thursday morning am my name is carl the interim director and delighted it welcome you to the opening ceremony of the newly painted
