7:08 am
will before i get into the just l start. this week's report with the incident that happened over the weekend, with the attempted robbery and shooting of, thericky pearsall. and just a brief summary of the shooting about 3:37 p.m. on saturday square, about 20 yards east. and basically the summary was walking alone when he was approached by the victim. i mean, the suspect. and the suspect attempted to rob him a suspect pointed a gun and a couple of shots were fired, and mr. pearsall and theturned out to be a 17 year old, were both assigned to the union square detail a block or half a block away. got there within within a minute and began to render aid and about the crime and the suspect description. othern another minute, and they were able the suspect and detain him
7:09 am
was it evolved very, but thank goodness the officers were in the. and although we could not, we did not prevent it from happening deployment, we were right there as the suspect tried to run away. not been there, i don't believe we would have caught the suspect pearsall had some serious injuries, but he has been released from the hospital.been released. the juvenile has also been released. and thethe district attorney. several felony counts have been filed and the case is now in the hands of the juvenile courtjust want to say to the officers, and there were a lot responding, but to those initial officers, their handling this situation appropriately. andponding as quickly as they did. and again happening, but we were right there. and thank to render aid to both parties and arrest the pers still a lot of even though charges have been filed the investigation is ongoing a lot of officers that responded and i won't name t everybody from our icu unit to
7:10 am
officers that came out to locate witnesseseo evidence and other evidence, it was a it was a very well coordinated effort. so that's pretty much where r case. there's been, as we can all around the world on that particular case. so that is will keep the commission and the public updated as develops from this case. so with that, i will go into this week's where we crime over the break. we are still in a very, year to date. i know these types of incid it's a punch in city. however, i do want to say that we are still down categories of crime, and including 13% reduction in violent crime 35% reduction in property crime down. we have 23 year to date 38 this time last. shootings are down almost 28%, robberies burglaries are down. let's see. car break ins 56%, below where were
7:11 am
this time last year. so thereot of good work being done today, this year to date crime statistics. however, with all that said, we lot of work to do. i mean, we challenges with our staffing and deployment, and we're moving people around and there's a of whack a mole but we're making it happen. and i think lot of overtime and people going abov doing what they've been asked to do. so i just want to acknowledge that work. and again, i know crime statistics does not tell story but it is a step in the right direction in terms of what we need to do to make our city a safe city. as far as the we did have, aover the weekend. it was a stabbing with a suspect th, the victim and the related. and although that suspect is in custody, that is stil investigation. and we have i believe the charges were filed in that case our clearance rate is around really, really good. it speaks to the work that the homicide we
7:12 am
still have some cas we are close on but have not solved them yetntinues. there were four non-fatal shootings during this past weekresulting in four victims, one occurred on the been an arrest in that case. a witness heard a walking on the sidewalk and realized that they had been s. the victim was transported and is in stable condition and, have not has not provided a of information at this point. so that investigation september 1st, at 3 p.m, a victim who city advised that he was shot in the areahen a vehicle stopped alongside his vehicle. o suspects got out of the vehicle and demanded money. one of the suspects and then the other one fired a with the bullet, the victim sought treatme outside the city and then was referred back to sfpd when hehat he believes he was shot in san francisco. that investigation is ongoing. no ar well, i've already talked about the union square incident that happened was in the unit block chicago street in the ingleside. this victim was or old. and officers
7:13 am
arrived at the. the victim had a gunshot wound andot a whole lot of information as far as who fired that shot. so ongoing. and no arrests at thisg investigation. we had this period. while the commission was out. we ran quite a few retail blitz operations, and weommitted to addressing shoplifting in arrests have been made with these retail blitz operations. and for the are basically when we put officers in plaines in retail. establishments. and if theft or shoplift, they take action when the person leaves the store and they make arrests. so we've made hundreds of those arrests over the past year, and that will continue the tide of organized retail theft and retail theft period in our city officers developed a shoplifting and retailatement operation in the 3300 block of mission the 800 block 5200 block of diamond heights, and the 2300 block of 16th those areas were chosen due to the
7:14 am
high shoplifting incidents that these businesses were may 13th and july 29th,ple arrested, including one who was book for second degree burglary and grand theft, and also a nine of these individuals had outstanding warrants, so pending and then 52 others were cited and released for thefts, which were misdemeanor charges of stolen property, was recoveredhose operations. there was a collision yesterday that at the now closed cliffouse restaurant. it involved two vehicles, one of the vehi had been parked in the area when the second vehicle came around theat a high rate of speed and collided with the parked v over the cliff and the driver of the parked non-life threatening injuries. the driver other vehicle, the one that came around the bend at a high rate of the injuries. this investigation into this collision is ongoing anddled by our traffic company. of hate crime incidents
7:15 am
over the last. and tomorrow basically a press conference and a third baptist church led by community members. wef that, along with other law enforcement agencies and community members make sure that we are very loud and clearainst hate crimes. as far as the crimes themselves, they we will do everything in our power to investigate these cases vigorously and bring these suspects to jus. okay, that is pretty much the highlights of thisnts this week and ongoingweekend. chinatown night out was today, commissioner yee us and the central station captain and officers of supervisors members, the mayor and many communityvery well attended event. and this was thehe giants playing this week and we are concerts on the sixth and the eighth. we a a fifth anniversary block party on the eighth, and for that. and we have ouration on
7:16 am
our drones tonight that we're looking forward to pre and answering any questions you may have. and as far as theng with still arresting a lot of sellers, and we still are doing enforcement onusing in open, i will say, and i know this is item that the commission has asked about, but the partnership with dea is really blossomed. d.p.h now has program where they have medical doctors on callnd for people who are suffering substance abuse , they actually when the navigators orey call, they can get basically a prescription for medication addiction. and that has been a very, very successful program. it's about two, three months, two months, actually been doing this it, this month and again next month. so program, and it's a resource that we've beenething that provides a service that is vry helpful to hopefully drive down some of our overdoses aso this
7:17 am
has been a very, very popularvery successful up to this point. according to what we're hearing from my report for this week. thank you so much for all ofhat, it's been a long month, and it's there's been some really good, we see because we haven't been meeting, showing rk you're doing. i have a question about whatthe, department of health partnership or response. i think that is that service available in the jails as well? because i think that some of the issues that have happened around violence inlated to mental health issues like that, or addiction, mentalso right now it's mainly for the street and the people that, either street outreach of the oviders code tenderloin, urban alchemy does bit of it, but it's really designed for and to guide
7:18 am
people to the jail does have health services available when particularly at the beginning of the whole dmac configuration, there was not ahat were taking advantage of the services, but the amount of peop that are taking advantage of this who are out in the street has been my very good. and the followat least what dph is reporting that a lot of these folks secondary appointments. that's great. a high percentage of them. so thithis is kind of what this partnership is all about. so as i sa about arresting and policing but some of these other serviceso come together. and that's a very good thing. yeah totally. it connection in that? this program with the care opposed to the court systems per se? i mean this part of it, i mean, the care get people to services but this is really out in the streets who need help, before, before wehat. so i mean, if people are willing to go and and, before it gets to that i mean, that's that's a goodthem and for us. great. thank you. thank you commissioner.
7:19 am
thank you chief. thank you those those statistics are really good. it's good. but, you know, i come from a background ofrial judge. and so i kind noticed things. that's very important to see what's happening. and most recently during the last month been a real change of the psyche, of the mindset of our realtor, the retail stores and the did a sort of went to a placeretail drug store place, big shelves are full. i looked, i i can't believe this and people started saying look, there's all this were filling all the shelves and normally you've been seeing these. they won't put because certain things people just steal every shelf was full. so know, maybe this is an anomaly because here's where i went. so other same branch. they were full also. so the mindset is changing. take notice and they're getting it. some of the people these interdictions you're who do the do that, they're starting to say, well wait aet up. and so that changed. the mindset is good for theor everybody to know that it's happening. you know, it may run its course and maybe they'll go keep it up and keep
7:20 am
it letting people know about it, it really changes and what they think is going on. and a positive thin being policed and what what people can do and what th do. so, you know that's a great report and i hope you guys keep it up. change. people are thinking differently and i'm hearing people talk about it. thank you. commissioner. if i could just add just real quickly definitely a link between some of the retail theft and the drug mark in the tenderloin you know, un plaza, market on mission street, 16th and and mission where there is a lot of illegal and we oftentimes working with public works the administrative citations on that. we find a lot of pretty sure is stolen, and some of it still has security tags. a so we've been doing the narcotics enforcement the public health piece in conjunction, it took us aet to this point where we're pretty much doing vending operations most nights of, and we're recovering a ton ofs stolen. trying to get it back to the owners. we haven't made a whole lo that it's stolen is, you
7:21 am
know, still a oftentimes abandoning the property when weblic works. and then we have like there were over a thousand items that people just walk don't want to take the chance of being caught with it. t and we will refine these strategies. but finding is a lot of the people that we come in contacts. and when they are honest and they talk to you because i've been out there talking to some of these folks know, i'm doing this to be my habiwe have to do that in order to get other things that we want to get to, to change some of street conditions. but i'm glad you brought that up because it is apresident kamala harris chief, thanks for the an article in the a retired officer that we had rehired do background checks and the article disclosed that through public records and court filings, it turns out that theired had some issues in his own background, including , potentially assault and battery. i wanted to check
7:22 am
was performed for case or not. we performed it and it just missed these things or performed it. we caught these thing nevertheless, it nevertheless met the criteria. and then this is going to be a two parter. and then the just speak generally to what the background check process is like for lateral hires, i think that would be helpful. yeah. yes sure. yes. background checks performed on all of our highways and matter of fact, there's a requirement by, the peace officers standarat we have to do background checks. it's as the background checks that we do for academy, definitely. it consists of a live scan in order to be hired back as a have to have retired honorably. and so all those things were met. and you know, i can't go into t records of these employees but if somebody has and just generically may have had or may have even been arrested and thoseen't resolved in terms of a convictionly honorably
7:23 am
then that's where we start. so we do check, that the people that we hire that, you know, that they're. and if we find out something that we then we can make that adjustment at that time. that's helpful. and clear, the things that were covered in the article, those things wertime that the hiring decision was made. well, i, you know, this you if you don't want to answer that, then can you just say if someone were to have those things discovered at the time thatcision needed to be made what would that meet our criteria for or not? it depends on what it is. so for instanceor you, name the dui or a some other type of criminal matter in that that case was not prosecuted. that's step one. the other dealing with retired employees then there's another process the administrative process that they. and if it's a serious charge, it probably would have or a previous commission. so we're able to lookight of what we have based on what happened, the that i'm making here is if somebody was arrested doesn't
7:24 am
necessarily mean that they're guilty. and if they retired honorably, that through the department of the commission. then we look at that andnd if it's something that we don't think is a good fit for do look at these facts objectively in general. and then we go that's that's it. on that on that iss just it sounds like if something is not been fully adjudicated, no bright line rule. if someone wasn't found, you know, for example guilty in a or liable in a civil case. anything short of thatxercise our our judgment about whether it's a that is pretty much it in a nutshell. we have to exerciseand see whether it's worthy of non-selection or not. hire to ask you about. missionn article about an incident in which an officer made a stop the when the individual when she didn't i think, hand over her id arrest, and in the process was reported that, he separated theon, i wanted to ask
7:25 am
if you have any reactions to this. generallyst if what you're understanding is specifically under state law officers should be making stops foralking, i do, and that to be limited in my response. but yes, i do. i have seen the story and seen the as far as the stopitself, of course, state law is very specific as jaywalking is a civil offense. if cause a collision. and that'sy paraphrased interpretation, that'sooked at in this particular case, at least when i probably i can't speak for d.p.a, but that's what will beably by dpa as far as the rest of it. it will be investigated in terms of what after the stop, but the law itself tickets can be written.question for this particular case is that the facts of this particular requirement. so that's kind of where we are. and i can, you
7:26 am
know, i know i don't think it's appropriate. well, there's a dpa investigation on the that part of it. great. thanks, chief. and then just setting this case aside completely about the consequences of the staffing shortages department. and, you know, you you get a lot of heat from a lot of different constituencies about focusing on a number of different things. we've essentially abandoned traffic enforcement forve. we don't do, foot patrols in any meaningful way. our serious crimes unit is understaffed. we're about to he be curious to know if they have more than they had the last time is espe critical understaffing, is making stowalking a good use of this department's scarce res, it depends on whether those stops will stop a injury, collision jaywalking, a lot of our injury collisions are pedestrian appropriate in those situations to still enforce the law in that manner, of course, the law is very clearht to walk
7:27 am
state now. and if there's no traffic around, the officers should not bf somebody's got to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting perfectly appropriate stop. and also, i just want to point out and too, but these are the facts that our traffic this time last year. so the strategy that was p is yielding some dividends. and even though we are short staffed, the traffic enforcement is tripled so that the right direction in terms of that traffic enforcement is we have brought before this commission. great. thanks,tion for me. today, president elias and received a letter or sorry, received an emailn who was a victim.collateral victim of a crime in the city. she. she said was driving her car with her young seat. and there is a police chase. the suspect in the course of that chase, there were no serious injuries, but it hit the part of her car w young child was and could have been a lot worse if, youhe circumstances were slightly different, she alsote
7:28 am
perhaps you or various other forwarded it to president elias andnd i think she was upset both by what happened and, you know, the way it was handled in the aftermath, essentially. and she stated a question in her email to us, and i it to you so that you could respond if you had first tonight. i'm so thankful my husband were not harmed, in this hit and keep returning to this question.our year old daughter or husband or both had been injured in this hour on busy arterial streets, is sfpd's perspective that the risk to them would have been worth it so stolen jeep wrangler. i don't expect san francisco citizens to feel safe risk of becoming collateral victims of high speed vehicle pursuits, and i ask that question becauseow, our vehicle pursuit policy is now changed to become more liberal, chases in circumstances where otherwise it would not be permitted
7:29 am
the highest collision rate in the state before that policy to ask this one citizen's question, who reached o t response if you have any. yeah i do, first it happened. i don't know the circumstances, so comment on that. but what i can comment on is has not yet changed, so we're still the current policy. is the old policy, and our officers and sergeants. here's here's policy is, we have a responsibility by law and obligation to assess the risks. when we're pursuing somebody. and by law, you have to have due regard for safety. we just had a pursuit is wednesday. i think it w, pretty horrific pursuit where a person was stabbing somebody and all that. and crime was, the officers called the purs off didn't stop the person from driving recklessly. and later, in another part of the city, and an arrest of that individual. the point that i'm making here is whens, and i've
7:30 am
been in many of them, you have a to assess how dangerous and whether the risk is the reward of arresting that person. we all have that responsibility, and that's what we expect supervisors. and even if a supervisor is not at scene, the officers. so whether or not the policy changes, the voted. but we still expect our we've been talking about this ever since the that that responsibility does not go away. and if so driving down a, you know, street a stolen car with no other crime, even if there is could be a robbery. we have that responsibility so yes, we still expect that. i don't know the circumstances of this case when i get the letter, it might be in my email. il look into and see whether we exercise the due regard that we're supposed chief. that's everything for me. much. there, president elias, want to thank you for norton station officers, a mine's, you want to thank helping
7:31 am
his neighbor find his missing and then panic. and within ten minutes, found the child across the street, so things when it does happen, it's, so thank thanks again to the the police report for, for the ninth month in a in san francisco. i want to, chief and your team and, all the officers and who who's keeping crime down in san francisco, had a busy weekend in, and i just want to share it with, the staff that worked the tower rail station second, sunset night market beautiful day. and beautiful event again. p they're out there enjoying the the public. nice weather and safety that's out there. i just that they know that also in chinatown, we had chinatownar shows
7:32 am
which. agai for your participation in that. and trying to recruit, hopefully new officers coming outinatown. but i also want to talk about our chinese international volleyball we had over 5000. gt were active, 100 womennow, 100 men and 80 women playing competing at a high level and along with tsing it's probably about 6000 or thereabouts. i was there, it was to see so many people come out to the city and, rejuvenate and pu back into the south of market community, they felt officers out there and want to thank them, too, as well a the southern stations, keeping it safe. so again, overall overall, this weekend, i was very thankful for the police to be out there, community safe. again, thank you very much, chief. and to your command staff and all t. been called
7:33 am
if you want to make a comment. much, thank you president your report, it is veryight to, to see crime nu down, to see all the different strategies having a positive impact in reducing the numbers, especially considering that this is all happening in when normally, usually sometimes there's an increase in incidents. i did want to ask a question, a up question regarding the ability to ac clinicians, from d.p.h, is there separate number that the community or the department needs to call to be able to re these field based clinicians for lack of a better term? yes is, and i don't it for sure. next week or i'll get it to you before next week. public campaign with a number that the
7:34 am
public can call and i apologize. i don'tth me, but i will get it. it's already an active number, and it's a facing number, so it's available for the public. thank you very. that'd be a great. i mean, if wete, both sfpd and very valuable information for people to have an whenever we see these incidents. right. because i think, as was mentioned previously, often times, people suffering from, you know co-occurring disorders, substance abuse and health condition that they're treating with substance sometimes bee i'm really grateful to see that development, gain some traction my nextstion is regarding the, the policing strategies in the tenderloin i know that there been, you know, an impact on addmeless encampments. the larger ones, and the substance use, but along with the impact that, i
7:35 am
minimizing incidents in the in the te market, i haverrelating increase in both homeless encampments and, you know street vending in the northe sector of the mission district that i am assuming is a result of some of that , due to the enforcement strategies in the plan to increase, foot patrols policingn the mission, as a result of the impact that that strategy has had o adjacent district? yes, yes, there isanswer that, the number colleen, she's in the room our our city oic. that number you asked for15) 970-3800. i get that right? right. okay. thank you, thank you. so, yes the strategys. a couple of things mission, and that's captain liza johansen, who actually very
7:36 am
familiar with the mission, grew up in the mission. so very are doing, and i think doing better at is she's reinstituted we also have officers assigned to public works, what was happening was our public basically being threatened and attackedg their vending enforcement, when they were not officers. so between us and at times, the sheriffs, who are also working with us, we have assigned workers to whenever they're out there doing cleaning. and in these in thesethat you're talking about, it has been very effe kind of with the consistency of our deployment. but we have overtime shifts, we move officers around to make sure that we have those shifts filled. so that and is going well, so that if we clean up an aredress it like 16th and mission, where we've had a lot ofeet vending and narcotics use and things like that, if that gets cleared out of thatctivity and they move somewhere else, those officers and those teams location, it doesn't solve
7:37 am
because, you know, we're dealing with people, we're dealing with we're dealing with a lot of social things. but to bring to the problem is dmacc collaboration is all about. so it's happening better than than it has been because we deployment, but we've been able to stabilize that by better use of our overtime and movingficers around when we need to move them around. so that is the plan, know you didn't ask this question, but i'llve talked about that with all the, some of the issues that the community has been really loudstreet and shotwell and all that. so we are wo on those issues as well. we've increased our deployment, but we're go to try some new strategies there. and actually, we probablyias to do a presentation on that so we in more detail. great. thank you. it was reported either mission local or maybe the standard, that there shotwell kind of homeowners association that
7:38 am
i believe, you know, the city. we're not going to i'm not goingyou to comment on that, as there may be some, you know,. but in the reason thator the focus of the article was the increase in work and the ensuing happens when there is a sex workers neighborhood. and obviously the last year around putting barriers on street to contain some of that activity,has led to, you know, that activity kind of migrating down into shotwell and even folsomet, and the article reported that t consideration and maybe even a commitment to place license plate readers and barricades in fashion as what has happened in on capp street is there. is that true? will there enforcement strategy that is going to be adopted shotwell corridor? the l not sure
7:39 am
that the mean, that's one of those types of issues that we definitely is going to be mta, get community input on. that that's going to happen. the license plate readers is very likely to happen still installing those license plate reader cameras across the city, i think we have 186. i think out of get up and running. but so that work. so that will probably definitely happen in the very near near fu? i'll just say this. and when we agendize it, i can talk more about this but we also want to demand with the sex workers and the demand. you know, there's somegies that we've seen other cities successfully implement addressed some of the demand. and we're going try to roll that out within the next couple of weeks aso i'm looking forward to reporting on that. but the license plate readers, yes we think that can be a deterrent to that type of activity this strategy includes rollingew website, which we already have read can call in when they see this type of activity, and if they happen
7:40 am
to catch a picture engaged. we're talking about the demand side, thenw up on that, not necessarily with aon, but at least following up with contacting that person notify them that their car wasas where there the sex worker trade is,. so that's one of the steps that we to address the demand. and that should be up and running pretty quickly. and i may be alluding to thece that was sent out regarding the report john program. right., that's exactly it. i did go through that. and i guess my last question actually, the increase in the last maybe i'd say 3 to 6 month the number of department notices that distributed, you know, via email blasts. there have been you know, i'ds maybe. right that have been to absorb, sign off on and then begin to implement it.
7:41 am
is there ason why, in addition to these, you know large numbers, we're also starting to receive emails with images of suspects or victims has been decided at at some level, along your lines and thatleadership levels to to begin to, you know, send this large number ofe fact that in addition to the emails, with images of potential suspects or potentialat these department? and it is something that, for me, is of changes that, officers are to now implement as a resulttices, being updated. well, there's a of things in the air right now. there's aof change with technology and prop e an orders that that are changing was already happening. but now, i mean, we just had what, 6 or 7
7:42 am
general orders and a couple of months. so we're trying to is on the same page. and i know it's a lot. it's of us to read but we need people tochanges are, what the rules are in terms of the other part of the advent of our getting some really go leads on criminal investigations. so, you know, we have our siu leadership and some of them in the room tonight. and they're going to drone program. but there's a lot of information coming through about wantedeople based on just the technology enhancements that we've seen in the last, crimes that are happening not only in the city but in other parts of the bay area, these cars are showing upsan francisco. and if we get an alert, you know, our officers, they put t a picture of a person responsible for or believed they put that out. so there's a lot of information flowing. but terms of our bottom line of trying to get tocrimes. so you know, at the end of the day,nce rates. we hope that this improve improves our solve we catch people that are, that are
7:43 am
that are committing these types of crimes in the cause more information to be put out, the good thing is, you generation of people that are coming into the department, they're used to by cell phone and generation. so i think you know, we have people for this c to be happening because they're already used to the use of technology in that manner. so catching up with a lot of other agencies in terms of this type of thing that well, thank you for. that. i mean, if it is improving our outcomes, i'm going to assume that it is, working, it just it could be overwhelming. but i'm glad that getting out there, that we are communicating effectively and that the younger officers or the newer officers are capable of absorbing information because it is you know, it's critical that you seem to have the conf going to continue to be able to receive this. andn an appropriate fashion. thank you very muchnk you. thank you, commissionermbers of the public i'd like to make
7:44 am
public comment regarding the lineain. i just wanted to talk about. and thanking up the amos brown tomor been happening in our neighborhood. and i definitely will there but i wanted to also bring up about the last time we were about how to pay tipsters for you know, i showed this picture about for unsolved homicides and, you know, trying to get more evidence. i was wondering what's going on with that and if they found anyone to come forth to, that are doing other things to find unsolved homicides. and last time nor their families are allowed to receive rewards, nor their nor bargain. are people that wan by by the law. so if we can change
7:45 am
some of that and have them testify, i we do? i'm still for justice for my son. and not only that, others, other unsolved with me and show these pictures of all these othermore than this. so i was wondering what is the part about getting pay tipsters to solve our cases. i know we have our investigators are retired investigators buting. i haven't heard anyth with no with nothing. so what can we do more? and that is the end of public comment line item s discussion report, report on announcements. commission discussion will be limite any of the issues raised for a future commission meeting. executive director henderson. good evening. i tried to speak
7:46 am
thing, but we were going a little fast. i known the calendar tonight. i just wanted to renew my request. we consent calendar. the report from more information about the incidents and the reports that we received. but there's outcome of the cases. so i'd again request that we get that information to compare ancillary cases, both from d.p.a and for of the hard work that's being done on these cases foutcome, even, up to the date when these reports are filed. so i just wanted to renew that request for that, it was been me about the case that was in the news.at is an open case with d.p.a, as was the commission commissioner, ulverstone for that letter from the public about that incident, so that into the ongoing investigation for us to review. also to remind the commission and the public we are conducting will also do a thorough or not there is a policy failure, even if that's something
7:47 am
separate from that will be evaluated as well, in terms of what's happening with the agency we've opened up 80 cases and closed 89 cases the last commission ve continued our three month trend of taking the the summer period when we weren't meeting reducing our open cases thanks to the hard work and efficiencies and we have been workingth bringing our stats i'm just going to run through them briefly, we've opened up 477 cases to date, there are 200 thatnd we have closed 593 cases to date. we've sustained 36 cases so far this and we are have been mediated this year as well. we have 21 casesstigations have gone over the 270 day, investigationain, the deadline is
7:48 am
one year for t of those 21 cases 17 of those cases have a number of cases pending final adjudication. i'm just forewarning and raising the issue again have a final adjudication are not cleared so there are 115 cases that have been closed from dpaith the chief and there are 12 cases still pending with the the overall statistics of the cases that have come in, complaints that have been category has been for conduct unbecoming. officers behaving or speaking inappropriately with the 16% and the second highest allegation is for u force for officers using alleging that officers used unnecessary or excessive force. again, these areto the agency, the two highest precincts, that both had ten allegations during period since we last met. i have a briefly on some of the interior divisions, one from our award winning audit know already that

7:57 am
pre diversion program. that's, you know, modeled on, on the program that he los angeles. and so i'm really grateful for his commitment to this effort. and i believe that we should be complete that memorandum of unders partners to initiate that program before the end of this year. and as we had left off at our last meeting, co had asked for an update, which we are coordinating and planning, some community present around and as director henderson alluded to, i have been actively engaged in the language access services for lepw on the third session. and i do have a question for you the ordinance, the chapter 91 e ordinance for the changes, and i just wanted your opinion one specific element of this that has, you know, ki discussed. and i'd like yourus to have clarity moving forward
7:58 am
as we are revising this dgf, the definition that currently st, which, by the way, you know, was october 17th of 2007 w are in this process. i think it's long overdu in our dgo currently says that a limited english proficiency person or are individuals whose primary language is not english and who have a write, speak, or understand english the new ordinance language has a more, evolved kind of description orlimited english. proficient persons or p persons, goes like this. any an individual who does not speak rea understand or communicate english communicate the individual's primary language or prefers to conduct
7:59 am
the interaction in their native language. chief would. would youre is a substantive, definition, the way it was ordinance, i a lot more involved. and that's substantive substantive from the 2007 definition. yes and as a result of, you know, theesses that we have undertaken in revising been instances where, such as or with prop e language that the supervisors or the voters, has paste verbatim from the language approved by the voters or the supervisors. and dgos that we have revisedhave any objection to this particular definition bei included
8:00 am
in our new revision of the language, access dgo is it for any media? yeah for that's for the one that the work group is t correct. correct. yeah. what i would like to do, i mean, iad it before i gave you a definitive answer, but just generally i don't think that's an unreasonable thing. but i would like to read it and circle back with you. i know the work group is working on me read it and then i can answer that question agendize it. and then get it update. also on the working group status. correct. we can for the chief or for myself? both, i think, why d can put it on next week or the following week might be a little premature as a the working group is only going to be in its fourth session, sometime in october once that process is concluded better sense of where we are with thisnd them the definition? i will send you the definition for acknowledging
8:01 am
that there is a substantive change a could actually have an impact on our improving our efforts to language. english proficiency persons as needs, the last question i will ask this particular dgo, there is an exclusion, a major edit how we got to this point, you know, normally when we're revising dgos, we're workin authorized, dgo as a starting point yeah. normally yes. normall in this case, you know, i don't understand or see why we wouldn't be previous authorized and vetted dgo, which was in 2007. anson i bring this up is that there was there is around the for identifying and specifically speaking
8:02 am
members being expected to provide a languageidentification card to aid in the process of individual's primary language made at a level that included you to remove that language from group? no, but i can say the work group and the smes, have the insight as to why that was done. number of things an outdated procedure or a more efficient way to do that we have phones and better, better technology get some insight on that. i don't that made by me, but the work grouprobably has some insight on why. well, maybe again, since we're agendizing october, we can have those answers, as any other questions that he has. yeah. with respect to work group, i really do believerpose of revising dgos is to improve our officers to adhere
8:03 am
to. and that omission really indicates that we're taking a step backwards. in my humble opinion. and i thank you prioritizing this and setting it on the age president elias, because it is something that is of concern sure that i brought it to the chief's attention. thank you sergeant, for members of the public, i'd like tording line item seven. please approach the . there is no public comment. line presentation on the crisis intervention team city 2023 annual report good evening everyone. good evening, chief scott, members of command staff. good evening president elias and vice president oberstein commissioners director henderson, thank you so here this evening. i am sergeant laura. colleen. excuse anderson. that was a that was a
8:04 am
change sorgetting, but i am the unit, and i have here with me sergeant elizabeth prelinger. a new development from a few months ago her. and then i also have officer matt nazar and doctor from the department of public health. so we'llwe'll get back to we'll circle back around to her shortly. we're pulling up the powerpoint, just in interest of time, and i know it seems like you have a lot on your age just going to start here. i know we provided a 40 page end that is typically authored by sergeant here today in the presentation because i believe in giving credit where she is a phenomenal part of our team, evena district station, so we'll also circle back we get there, but there are four components of our our team and of our of our unit. and that that's one piece of the pu and our one day training. we also have aher piece of what we do out there. and then we have the working groupack to all of those in
8:05 am
momentarily, just very quickly from the stats from last year. and again, all of this is in the 40 page report. but in the interest of y happy to answer any questions that you have as they just going to give you the down and dirty, so the had trained in the four day c certification course, of that though, when we break it down just to patrol, that's 78%. and five district stations that have their people trained. so typically on any know, eight out of ten are going to be cit certified of day course. again, just the same as last year. there that course. and of course, as always, we know yo busy, but we welcome you to both the one day and the four day couras we offer to our members of our command staff and our captains that be taken in pieces because that's hard to do row. so we understand that. i'm going to hand thisdiscuss
8:06 am
some of these other components of our of our teamg. i'm sergeant prelisident elias director henderson and chief scott, i'm just going to be speaking on some subtopics here th pertinent to the kind of overriding arc of do at cit. first and foremost, i just wanted to say that embody, i think, the aspirational goals of 21st century policing, inasmuch as it re treating people with dignity and respect a so this program is just the patrol work that people are doing every day unfolding, you know, at all minutes, at all timest will be evident when sergeant anderson speaks more towards the actual stats of incidents that we respond toeak towards initially is our collaboration. again tha part of 21st century policing. collaborative models that we're building upon is our relatio public health. we've really been able to meaningful partnerships with experts to people
8:07 am
in crisis oftentimes than law enforcement itself. however, because a lot of the things that we respond tovolve a danger potential or a violence potential, it'snt to create safe armatures for those clinicians to go with subjects. so part of what i'm here with this partnership is the fact that daily to deal with subj we do that with the sort ofendous, integral support of a dph clinician who i anderson will speak and address later. but is each time we're able to deal with people in have to weigh out all the factors of what that everybody's different. every individual is different. every circumstance is different. and so each time we goam we are operating with a pace plan. we have amary plan, an alternate plan, a contingency plan because we want to be able to adapt to unfolding with the most appropriate level o subject
8:08 am
and i don't want to expand too much on how all of these things unfold, but i will say that there's a tremendous amount of value to thi we've been able to develop with department of public health specifically, comprehensive crisis, the next piece of collaboration i'm going to speak about is ouriaison program. and again, that's sort of more of an internal members on patrol. we have this program that's set up specifically so that each district station has two representatives who take on the auxiliary role of crisis related issues of the district level so that they effectively deliver that information us at the cit unit. and so weategy with those subjects very prudentlyt of another collaboration that we really have been expanding upon in our model. another piece of thedel, which is essential to the growthiveness of this program
8:09 am
is our civilian working group is comprised of civilian bring to the tablegs consisting of lived experience or even expertise. in another realm, or a passionate attachment to topics that are for us to consider. at cit. sogroup has been essential in helping us d. and again, i say that that's a very. these are not people who are just agreeing with our best practices or our version of best practices. they're critically dback. so that when things can be improved we're going know about it. so this group consists of lots of our national alliance of mental illnes, department of police accountability our mental health alliance of san francisco as well as the va and other groups. so just want to speak to the fact that they're a huge part o we've been building out at cit, another thing that i just wanted to dip into statistically because this is going to come up later look at more facts, is it's a very important to recognize reasons
8:10 am
why cit is so incredibly important to francisco and the communities here, as well as department, is that i believe it's directly associated with a diminishment of use of force, which i know is aal for everyone here, one of the thin bring up here is that we have our mental health calls for, that we've done some data analysis onrn is approximately related to some type of cit work there were 85 incidents where reportable use of force. now just want to specify that 80% of those were physical control holds only, and another 10% of detention with a firearm, which use of force. but in of itself is not an active fulfillment of a force right what's important about that is there's a very few t very small percentage that involved agent or, or an impact
8:11 am
weapon, other types of use of force i'll hand it back to sergeant anderson. thanks, . so then just the last couple of slides point out as, as sergeant prelinger mentioned. so we're service in relation to mental health. now, of course, is down from previous years, but it's still service that the san to despite all of the other or. and non-law enforcement, programs that have come into san francisco or that have developed. so i just, you to make everyone just sort of aware of that, that theseand while we see them sort of trickling down an extensive number for especially for the francisco police department has now. so the officers out in patrol ar. right now the alert. missing adult. so the final, slide
8:12 am
should i we're attention. that's. yeah. yeah hi. give her more time. give . give me more time. continue. thank you. so this last slide is basically what we put together at the end last year. and what we would hope to in the cit unit and to vicon, we have as, as is standard, when someone gets promoted they leave the unit we have lost sergeant prelinger. we are a solid team three for the entire city and county of san francisco, but we are about what we do and i have two full duty officers in the unit. and then of good news, as we look at sort of , is that the cit working group, who is for our program and for what we do. with chief scott quarterly, and he has agreed to additional staffing for our unit. so last week we for officers. today we conducted interviews for sergeant for a
8:13 am
sergeant position. we have made our selections. is a process that's moving thrilled. i'm beyond thrilled about that because if, you know and lieutenant donnie andersonknow, we rely on them a lot as well. but, time, what we do is very consuming. son that and to thank chief scott and our chain of for the unit's chain of command. soteful for that and then also, asaborations between d.p.h and ourselves and the san francisco fire department, i want director stephanie felder over at dph's comprehensive crisis services tha, director felder has as we've stolen one of her members of comprehensive crisis services. and again, that's clinical psychologist that now works in, and is very involved inrything that we do. and we i don't know how we actually managed without her, i would say that it would be wonderful. and i k's staffing
8:14 am
is down as well. chs has a limited number workers, but i have to tell you thatout, when we call them for crisiser and so the collaboration is phenomenal. and then moving into, of course, the fire department, i wantsection chief april sloane, who's in charge of their community paramedicine teams and and ems six. the collaborationf our teams has been phenomenal. and having spoken with section chief sloane, as we sort of lookure of what cit and what a co-response can can manage and the things that we've done together on calls for service. we w to see a co housed model down the road as we sort m. but so we're very excited to be working with our partners andng that we had mentioned in here was that we not only expand the unit staffing wise, but to movee we've had this discussion with the chief that there have been calls have
8:15 am
responded to, and it's to get there. right because we're traversing across the city. and that's thah the approval of our chain of command and of course, station which is a more centralized location in the city. and asws for us to be able to go out and respond with patrol and get to thean get to, in a more expedient manner. this to hopefully take some of, in the beginning maybe not that much. you know, i wante realistic about the expectations, but as we move into that, hopefully that frees up service. that would normally require an extended, where we then can devote that time and can free up patrol. so that's sort of our goal and that's what we're moving since they're here, i also want to thank our partners at gpa who workingly on policy with us. and that'sis is jermaine still here. there he is.rew. they have been phenomenal as well. so we'reank you. we'll if anybody has any questions w. thank you. good describe small but mighty slogan for
8:16 am
your unit. i am a huge sergeant molina was the one it. and the amazing work that you do. i'm very happy toen i think you first came when i first came to the was like, it was like 10% for the four day, and they were just tryi the one day in terms of having officers trained. so this isally happy for you and again, i'm just a huge fan. whatever i move this along, please let me know because i think it's a great as department. and, and i did a half a did see in the half a day, i was just blown away by the results. and what an impact cit makes, i think on the thank you. president yeah. i the team for coming and making the presentationwork, you know the team at dpa has bee i think it's fantastic. i wanted to point out specificallye of the data transparencies that citputs together, i think is a model for even the rest of the departme intentional and including race work that you guys have done. i think that all are headed as themore transparency.
8:17 am
the fact that you guys are already doing th model of how to do it accurately and correctly. so i just the centralization and the move to encourage the department with the allocated to have some commensurate work, to readdress staffing and training withpecifically, i have a sergeant prelinger you were looking for a know a sergeant that, has been wonderful at cit and we have a long history going back a great in that department. and we'd love to see. that's what she's interested in these days more that we can be staff is here in the room and we're happy to continue helping and supporting this work that we think is really important just for the department, but for the rest of the city as well. than much, director. we also would like to see sergeant prelinger back. could we vote carter. so, chief, why didn't
8:18 am
you yeah, yeah, i'm laughing you, thank you for, acting lieutenant anderson, you said that you were getting more staffi more peopleit's two for now. and then, what i've promised is, as we get more people in through laterals and to get them back staffed staffed up look like, i think at one time you all had eight, i believe, or. yeah eight. yes. but let that is probably not what it should be. but even back there, i think that would be a huge so. and the folks that are being interviewed, do we know when they'll be actually a that have been selected, when they'll actually be assigned members through staff services. y so, i believe the next personnel this friday, but next friday. okay. they should if far as the interview and selections, they should be i mean, i guess i'll say when i read my fi the work was done
8:19 am
by a small army of dozensf officers. so when i discovered, you know, last time that we only had four sworn members, ieally couldn't believe it. and now you're down to three, and ito five. but i just want to really thank every single mhat you do. you handle some of the most volatile a have such a commitment to excellence. overworked, and we just really appreciate the work that you important responding to incidents, training, you know officers, liaising with the really don't know how you do it all. and also just want, acting lieutenant anderson, for your leadership can, can get done without without great leadership and a you. thank you very much. vice president and again, i would be remiss if i didn't you know, i wanted certainly point out thattenant mario molina and lieutenant donald anderson get dragged back in, fairlyistently, just solely for their level of expertise and think they really believe in it when you believe in it. and i think that that just speaks volumes. and
8:20 am
now thatour staff is going to exponentially grow. thank you. yes. so the chief doesn't have. yeah, exactly. so the chief doesn't have to answer his questions any more.er, thank you so much. thank you for this report. and i just want to say i just yesterday had of market to watch the training inentially. and it was a situat citizens really nervous and escalated and didn't. it was really handled. deescalatedand managed and, you know, the, th really appreciate that. so the training you're doing is also in this, you know comprehenstics, but in, in fact. so thank you. thank you, thank you so much. just a couple of questions and then some that you're getting two from the three. so the total number would is that the number chief. yes okay. commissioners asking about it. and then you know the to the plan to get it hopefully back to was. would you hope
8:21 am
that that's is that a one year or how many years away are we from that chief, would you expect it to ballpark it it if we hire who with our projec it should be within the year. yeah, we were we were slated 50in the academy. and even though we lose som from where we've been. so, if it keeps it's going to be. and we're getting a lot of lateral l things are things are actually moving in so it should be within a year. sergeant, i wanted to ask. i saw we were up to 72% in the 40 hour. and you said if you lim was trying to find last year's cit report. can you do you have to what that the year over year increase is? i don't haveissioner. it's roughly stayed the same though, just because of you know, members retiring and, transferring and that sort it's actually stayed roughly the same this theit, we were only able to conduct two cit next week, but as we getting the additional bodies, we're actually looking
8:22 am
at 6 to 8 trainings next calendar year. that's very helpful. yeah, that was my sense think you sort of anticipated my question is with the additional staffing, . yeah. just simply it's hard tor day training and then have nobody doing field work or answering the chief's office directly from members of the from command staff, from officershe department of public health, from the fire department. and so there also in the office and available to answer those calls and to do the workups and then to go out with field, the field visits. sois this has slowed us down a tad, bu push those numbers back up. you mentioned the long term goal of with some of your partners. and that's something that of the commission, myself included, have been calling for, for a number of years. that coming. as part of the annual report. what sort of needs goal to become closer to reality? what are ways that the commission in that? because i do think there is such strong supportrtment across the city. thank you. i think that our within the department overall have to increase and we need support
8:23 am
our partners over at comprehensive crisisvices, as i know that they are understaffed as well. so in order like that work and then successful in the long is to have an appropriate amount of staffing and i, i'mparamedicine is right now with their staffing. however, i it's across the board. i think that our across both agencies. and so that's it just poses a challenge. absolutely. thank you so much. i do want to echo myn the praise of the cid program, i've said thise cit awards together for the last couple been on the commission and it's absolutely one of the highlights of the yies of the incredibly challenging situations, the is often able to resolve without injury, i'd remark to the chief last cit awards that, you know, te would have been ois. and the fact that i think in the them were, and they were all successful he success of this. as i said, small but mighty sergeant berlinger, to sergeant molina, to lieutenant molina, lieutenant don anderson,
8:24 am
to janell caywood and je dea, director henderson, as well as going all the way one of your predecessors to san marino, dpa, who the awareness of this commission almost ten ye over ten years ago. so thank you to and thank you. there's a couple of you mentioned the patrol o there doing the work. it is them out there on the day to day they that's the that's not really the hear. you know, on at 10:00 on, you it is. but they're out there and they're doing it and they're doing you sergeant, thank you public, they'd like to make public comment regardingeight. please approach the podium. there is no public comment. line item nine intervention system is first and second

8:26 am
number is 467 for q2 those to last year 2023. you can see the use ofator. we see a drop of 5.4%. and co q2 to last year we actually see a 58.1% dro indicator points by station, first quarter, like the presentations i've done mission and most indicator points mission with 9 and tenderloin with 146 for the first for the second quarter, again, mission and leading the pack, mission has 65 and tenderloin for the alerts generated q1 of 2024, least one alert, and 204 alerts in q2 of 2024, 95 members generated at least o totaled 114 alerts.
8:27 am
now, comparing that to last q1 2023, that was a drop in of 32.2%. and comparing it to last year23, that was a station of first quarter mission had 50.33, and tenderloin 55.33 and the second quarter tenderloin, mission had 25. and tenderloin had 34 alerts. interventions so q1 we did start interventions, but i'm happy to say in q2 we were to successfully close out one intervention. so currently we have two active interventi. this is a timeline right now of our current project with our pilot program was approved and eas alerts through first sign. right now the conducted at tenderloin and northern stations. i say that we've already begun meetings last week at northern and today at tenderloin station
8:28 am
so we with that pilot program probably for the feedback from all the participants to try and create the new system and mak will be, helpful for all the members. and that is the q1 and q2 of 2024 iihs report. happy to answer any questions. for any member of the public that hasnine, please approach the podium. and there is no public comment. director henderson want to say that both nicole and deanna are continuing to wo with eyes, and we are optimistic that weground to work with the area, with what presenting with us. so it will communicate systems as well. so we don't have tond recreate work from the department. we could justore transparent with each other. so i didn't want to not mention that. thank youitem ten discussion and presentation on department community engage process for

8:30 am
department to ensure that we fulfilled our obliga with assembly bill 481. today, we're you that although it is not our unit who co unit from the department the policy development divisionth captains, did complete that task. that directive from the police commission. and so the first slide, what front of you are a series of community meetings. and before i a general synopsis, i do want to emphasize that shortly after thing with the police commissionely with the chief at the chief's directive release to ensure that we were doing as much outreach as p and to ensure that we were informing most of our boardprocess of where we were with the reporting requirements that were time. having said that, we completed a. what you see here on the left hand series of meetings that were completed by the policy development division. of the meetings were leveraged just with forums. so we had a captains community meeting at ingleside station at mission station, at park station and we had an advisory board meeting
8:31 am
that we ended up leveraging. we also h captains community meeting and a richmond station that will be forthcoming to ensure that we get a ful responses. what you see here how many community members attended. i will share that alongside with those that were invited and decided to come and part of this process. we also ended up reaching out to the that actually came to the police commission. the policy develop as much as we could, we would meet the timelinee that there was a participation from the interestwas actually addressed. participants were asked questions, and the department will post all thely on our website. as it complies withing said that, i'm going to go ahead and turn to ca legislative analyst, so he could explain to ye holds with ab 481. carl roche, president elias, vice presiden. oberstein, commissioners. chief scott directorid i'm carl nishida, principal legislative liaison
8:32 am
for nt, and i'll quickly cover the remaining legislativeual report. and then share our anticipated completing the 2024 report and then all annual 41 moving forward. so just quickly, here's the language from ab 41 requiring approval of the annual governing body, which in the case of san francisco is the board of supervisors. the governing body shall determine based on the annual military equipment rep equipment identified in that report has complied with the s the legislative process for approval? meeting, the 2023 annual report will be submitted with a resolution to the board of supervisors to review and hopefully approve the report. the resolution will be audit and oversight committee hearing which staff will present the committee's questions, and the next gursday, september 19th. the gao committee can refer the resolution to the board of supervisors, the fullthout a recommendation. they could amend itnue it to a future meeting. once the committee refers the resolution to the board of supervisors, the board will then vote on whether
8:33 am
to accept and appro. as you know, this is an annual report our anticipated timeline for completing the annual reports thereafter. so december of this year, the department will compileinformation required for the report by the end of the year. 2025, the department will post the 2024 report on our website within 30 days of that posting date, we'll ized community engagement meeting where community members can actively engage, ask questions, provide feedback and and then in february 2025, we would like to present to the police commission on the annual report and the results of the community engagement submit the annual report to the board of supervisors with a resolution requesting approval, and go from there. year after happy to answer questions. vice president carter thank you for thestion on the list of public or community meetin that were listed on that one slide, were those those were alic? is that right? correct. and were
8:34 am
those each of those is your with ab 481 requirement that? yeah. so that was the standard in ab sorry. just the reason that i asked is i think i them, there was an existing meeting scheduled for a separate purpose. but then the issue of on military equipme just wanted to clarify it was publicized that that was the and that it was open to any member of the public. that's the existing captain's community meetings, but we did publicize both thed also reaching out to some of the boardf supervisors offices that ab 41 would be a topic on those agendas time that we had this presentation clear that the department wasport to the board of supervisors. under state law, it seems on your timeline, i don't know how aspira based on your timeline, you don't anticipate that there will be delays definitely, yes. and do you? you said you will hold at least one well publicized meeting, which is requires, this year you held many more. do you
8:35 am
do you have a sense for what your plan is for next year? we did discuss potentially having just one or at least onecally for ab 41. i'm h what the commission would year, but i think that's still to be determined. great. and then just last question. i think i heard doctor roach say that some the would be compiled inese meetings. is that right, or did i mishear that? no. there's public notice and at the same time, a the summary of the actual meeting in and when will we be getting that and that appear? we'd have to get back with internally with the policyment division and understand. but pretty soon i'm sure wetry to work as quick as we can. okay, great. thank you. may i . oh sorry. go ahead, vice president this methodology that we use, we believe we're touching. at least we have more of an opportunity for people from different parts of the city in on this. so i mean, we definitt one meeting, but i don't see us not leveraging thesemeetings
8:36 am
to touch more people and get more input. the way we do business moving forward. yeah. thank you, madamwas going to piggyback on. the issue is notice important for the community. the idea of having standard that the state statute says. but the idea to go into each and at least give them that input opportunity, if they take it they do, if be very important because, yes, you got to give one, but than you have to help this message out. the board of supervisors is going to make that determinati not sufficient notice was given for them to take it up. but we'd like to see that. t see. all right. thank you commissioner sergeant, for any member of theomment regarding line item ten. please approach the podium. thank you. there is no public comment. line item 11 discussion and pre of the drone program. discussion. hey. how you doing? good. how are you? thank you. did you need this? good afternoon, president

8:38 am
technologies, such as the alpers we deploy them th san francisco, during sfpd operations, as well as outside san francisco. when allowed, the are obvious. they include faster response time situational awareness, awareness, more precision de-e, officer safety andrimarily pursuit mitigation, which we've had some success w during staff shortages, we have policies in ensure the drones are used responsibly, with sa protect constitutional rights and privacy of the publi investigations unit is the technical services unit where the oversight of thisith our tactical team, is taking place. and we're ensuring compliance laws, as spo government code, the department has submitted, the use and equipment policy to the board. the proposed ordinance is file numit's tentatively scheduled for discussion before the
8:39 am
audit oversight for september 9th, some authorized uses under prop e to use these drones, along with in lieu of vehicles during pursuits and to assist in active criminal investigations. under the policy submitted to the board of supervisors, drones will be simulations. critical incidents. exigentissing persons, crime scene investigations.igations during suspicious device assessments. planned operations. deployment responsibilities during the phase investigation operations. sponta investigations at the discretion of the program manager and response to major and critical inciderom sit in situations where we can utilize these for de-escalation and bringing people safely into the help, department owned drones and their features shall not be used to harass, intimidate, or discriminate against any individual or group to monitor their race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or class for non-law

8:41 am
that has been posted already that posted last week. the inaugural days after the first recorded non training related deployment, and will, equipment and use of drones will be reported ab 481 dronese assisted in some very importantincidents, specifically, we utilized it during apprehension of a sexual assault suspect arrestes. 4th of july disturbances and some violent and wanted fugitives. there were some two incidents that were highlighted rece press. july 26th with the dirt bike riders committing embarcadero and again on july 27th. that very next day, some individuals committing more auto able to utilize the a pursuit, utilize tire deflation into custody, and return the luggage to the, tourists that were here. we're going to play a quick video just highlighting some of thesehis. the sexual assault suspect, try to go back
8:42 am
to that san jose. this is one of our first depcked a young female in the central district, we were able and track him to san jose. and reallyhis shows is just some of the situational awareness that we gain, pursuits so that we're going to call in make sure that he's safely out of his car and not going the 4th of july incident. things got very sergeant batchelder here, very flying that night. you can see what he was. we were able to relay that situational awareness they were able to move in, understand the, size of the crowd that was the dirt bike riders along the embarcadero to respond. obviously, it's very difficult to follow motorcycles with vehicles, so we were able to follow itn we were able to call in for that safe arrest, this was the next day after auto burglary along the, one of the lots. it's also very goodurt, district
8:43 am
attorney has great deflation devices and make safe arrests, some important things to note that i think would be helpful to the commission. we've documented about 65 flights up on our first report, and just, i th the big concerns is trying to reduce vehicle pursuits. that's one of the biggest to do. they're very dangerous, for the public and for all we have had about five can't predict one when a pursuit was going to happen prevented about five pursuits. out of thoses the ones you've seen where we were tire deflation devices out, those were very helpful. we've also, in the made about 18 arrests. not all those arrests wereecause of the drone. they were for other matters. and the drones used for various, but those were some statistics yet. how we're able to drone been able to reduce overall pursuits through the city? we're running a very small program right now with six dro a little difficult to measure that right now, but certainly
8:44 am
something that to get a hold on. obviously, prop e, the big point voters wanted was a reduction in these pursuit any questions from theommission? yes. vice president carter, he beat you to the punch. that's fine. thank you, captain, for the presentation. i wanted to ask last topic that you raised. vehicle pursuits is have. so we'll just correct me if i'm and you tell me if i have this right, that under faa regulations, there has to be a line of sight between the operator enforcement agencies can ask for waivain circumstances. so do i have that right? an we plan on asking for a waiver? it's true visual line of sight of the drone to get that exception. waiver. although we have a coa that we've applied for and do not have the waiver in place, and that ongoing it's sergeant batchelder is leading that, application for those specific, beyond visual waivers.
8:45 am
and we're trying to get thosea pursuit situation. right. so that's what i was going could just describe for us and members of the public to maintain line of sight, how what what ares? what are the limitations, i guess, or benefits of using if you know some of the pursuits we read about, go on for an over the city, i assume, but i don't know. i you have to maintain line of sight. a drone wouldn't be able to suspect vehicle for a chase like that, but so just curious kind of what are the use cases in a pursuit situation? generally speaking, the there are some limitations. one is thent of line of sight. obviously in san francisco topography with hills and valleys and things of that nature. high speed limitations with the current about 35mph maximum. there's otherfly faster. we'll look at those for the future, t also, you know, some radius a vehicle were to pursue over the bay bridge, we'd clearly have we currently have with maintaining a drone thaty that far. so there's
8:46 am
limitations, there's solutions. could build as we expand the capabilities but currently it'stually answered to my other questions speed. so that that's helpful, butounds like there's early promising signs of, of them being helpful despite the faa regulatory and technology limitations, we've definitely had some success yeah. chief, i just wanted to ask you are us, you this way i think is relatively new now? why why haven't we sought to use them? youarlier. oh, we this on our radar years. yeah, probably more funding is just, of our conversations were that, might want to wait on that type of where there was a willingness to them. other departments in the city have had them for a while but i thi sheriff's department has sheriff's department and i think the fire may have them as w guess i seem to remember a budget hearings in the past
8:47 am
where you said that requested budgeting at all for yeah. so a lot of these discussions that public phase of the budget decision, you know, we tr to negotiate what we need, and sometimes we are successful, sometimes not. but been a part of many previous yearns, just the timing and the climate was not favorable for the sfpd to have drones. so we were able to get this program up and done a lot of the research and previous years. so it's not a new topic within the department's just the climate is favorable right now. all right. thank you, thank you, th for oops, thank you curious are you do car when you do these location and then until you can not you can remotely follow in a car with a d compartment? yes. compartment. that. at which point you would dynamically deploy that drone at the t would be best to the advantage of the situation yeah so
8:48 am
are they are they located in istricts just based on what you number of car chases within each district focus on that type of thing? we're just kihere we can best where you can implement those right now. yeah. it see the video. during the august month, the the ones that included here, it does provide a lot of information and less accidents and car chases. it seems toou know, i, i always bring up the issue of la that they have like a whole cable channel just for car helicopters. they, they use the news because they have so many freewaysseem to be obsessed with it down there. butpters and freeways. but, it's very does it's denser and sort of more0 forward to seeing the next set of reports. thank mr. yee. thank you very m president elias, i just have a question. how
8:49 am
available to the s francisco police department on a moment's call.nt. six drones. okay, so do you have them? stagnated? as, commissioner walker said throughout the city one central location? yeah. sometimes they'reabout remotely in different parts. it depends what's going on so with the six drones, you have six operators ready. weokay tender. so they're ready t at a minuteotice and stuff like that, so the officers receiving the are receiving the live feed too as well? yesay. yeah i did see the one word, on on, which i think also apprehendingyou retrieve, i think as pd displayed is tsubstantial. so for more of these technologies, i know we're we're behind as carter robertson said we
8:50 am
maybe the time is right. and to the will of the votersy much and hope to see you more of this. thank you. all right. thank you, madam chair. six now what's the anticipated next group that we're getting? how mhan later we're going to try to get 20 more. and do you haveon that, hopefully immediate. you know, in this property, chief, about here. and i implore all my really want to see what's happening within theregarding technology, you go to jury selection. right now, they're asking you, do you a video? do you have a drone? we want to see of people say, i can't believe you don't have that. and i i don't know if i can convict someone or i can man't see it. so that's where it's going. this next generate expecting you to do as much as you can to get it. don't, you've got to explain it. and it's you know, the thing works both ways because defense lawyers say well, they don't have a drone, so the evidence because, you know, they should have one. and so everybody is expecting this. so ihatever they can get the funding move along as fast as you can, as get as many as you can. people who
8:51 am
can actually operate these things. you comply and get it done. all right. thank you com of my questions were asked by my fellow commissioners. so you and ten operators. does that make for like are there hours thatve in the city? like what does that look like in terms of timeline? the whole city by any means when with there also a goal to get additional operators? i assume these are exist or trained in correct. is the goal to coverage? yes is there a timeline you expect to have both between operators and drones. so we havere drones. we have a department bulletin for people to apply to get their receive the required training to fly the drones year, at which time on selecting those operators. they're not going to come and work in a one centralized location but they will be trained city at various district stations, they'll remain in their role trained to go to the station pick up a drone whenve it in the trunk of their car and be able to deploy be helpful. okay i
8:52 am
think those we you, thank you. can i just mi one thing? just, acting captain mcguire mentioned the wte anybody who's interested because we also post the missions and the purpose for the mi investigation. so i was able to of days ago, and it's up and running.nt in terms of what we're doing and why we. what can i get orders i just wanted to thank acting deputy chief rachel moran, who's here and has been very supportive of us and the everything we need, ac dave lazar and chief police tha of support and we appreciate it. and theike i said, come on out and see the program. we'd love to have you. thank you. for any member of the public would like to make public comment please approach the podium. there is no public comment. line item 12 discussion and possible actiont general order 2.07 discipline process for sworn members for
8:53 am
the department to use in meeting andected bargaining units as required by law. discussion and possible commissioners. hello. my name is who have not met, i was assigned to be kind of the chief.07, so i'm happy t what we changed and the kind of the design about the current one? the current one the curren is a series of definitions that are helpful, but our process from beginning to end. so the design philosophy h take state law local law, dgos other commission processes or rules, combine it into one explains what what is the process for chiefs the process for commission level case? what are those things? double jeopardy and so forth and so forth, i'm getting some smiles. i guess there's something going on behind me, the policy. yeah. and so to that end this is not a particularly creative policyot, the, the, i guess colle is a, an attempt to just call all these sources of put them into one
8:54 am
document that is easily readable and followable, exception to where we added onto where policies. we've talked a lot about our chiefs hearings and the timing and other members of the department, weolicy. we have 180 day requirement now that we'r chiefs hearing has to occur we've also put in minor tweaks to try these hearings move forward whenever an officer now receives a notice ohiefs hearing will be scheduled for them. the officer, if te a hearing, they have to submit a written response stating the they can have the hearing whenever it's scheduled. so, i'm happy to answer any questions but that's the general philosophy for the poli good a good job was done in terms because i'm still amazed at how many people do not understand how in this department, especially actual members who have these, to these rules and to the public, so i'm glad that it out. one of the questions that i did have wasfs hearings, and i know, timelines in the new policy. but how does that address the backlog of the
8:55 am
existing cases? so if this the backlog of existing cases, obviously, theess that it's really been on the operational side. i have not for some time now, so i don't know. i'm answer that question but, so i don't know theing down but, i think it is trying to getiefs who are involved. we have more commanders who are involved to be hearing officeres. that was one of the huge reasons why, so our our attorneys more than they were. so i think it'sing to get them done. but that's that's the extent of what i know about the you phone a friend director henderson or the chief. i will say dais. so you i'll go to my i think the real answer in terms of the backlog is that, passing and approving pipeline that's building the backlog. so it won't retroactively address the casesng these deadlines willd when they stack up and will give them a more, which is the big deal. and i know deanna rosensteinf work on this with betts to get us specifically to address
8:56 am
issue, but i don't know that there's will fix the number that's already in chief has a different answer. yeah. so i do think, if you look at 2.07.03 particularly, be the one, i think, that you and i talked about. this is meantbe really a kind of a, i say prev to if we can get to a resolution an officer before we have to schedule a chief's hearing. that's why had some success with that. basically, if we have an understa the issues are on the table. and this provides the officer the opportunity to write a written response so i can review those hearing. and if it's something that's reasonable, sit down with the officer and we can come to an agreement, then it doesn't have hearing. so i think that's going to be huge in terms of times where by the time we get to and through a chief's heahe arguments, i'm like, you know, we probably could have settled this a reasonable. it's within it didn't take a chiefs hearing if we could have just had a conversation. so the written respotill
8:57 am
has a right to have a hearing if they cho an agreement, but that's meant to be a little cases may not need to even get that backlog if it never gets to a chief hearing chief's hearin been we've been doing that a little bit now with officers that ar willing to do it, to try to get some of these backlogs off. and had some success at chiefs level discipline. and i've seen that i've seen, you conferences where we have had cases that, but i will commend you i think the one thing that is, very useful for you is position is that unless there's something new that your already, you really there's nothing really to that's going to move you. and i think that's a sort of a good position to the work that your team does you prepped for that, i guess my other concern is that, i think you've been pretty steady on discipline, but my concern is that what if it's not you this the way this is worded would allow a chiefs hear maybe ultimately come to the commission. i think it, in my
8:58 am
opinion, it's s if you know whoever is the next person sitting in can always, you know, with , make a decision different than the original just trying to get to that. if it come that point quicker. so as you all know, sometimes, you know, we factors or things like that. and that's usually the not really any over you know, really new evidence. b mitigating factors. or there's something that we didn't consider i didn't consistency can still be there and should s be there, you know some of these tend to sometimes veer off the course of patterns when. but, you know, that's kind of the nature of the want to look at them in earnest and make sure that we officers a fair chance you know, procedural justice. you were on that tha to make sure that we practice that and make sure sometimes when they're heard, they do bring new mitigating factors that may change the decision. so director henderson, did you want to go i'm happy to talk. i've always got yeah i know exactly you, chief. did you
8:59 am
want to say anything else my name. all right? i'm clearing the board. let's go. commissioner clay. so. so, as it relates to that, i saw this. or a trial where you're going to expedite the proce got my cases assigned to me and some of the built in f you know, let's set this thing. i don't need to have this conversation again, but make you put up or shut up. either we're going to do and the sanctions may you may may be dis do it. but this is a good thing because you i mean, even if the god bless you you're not here. i don't know how that looked, but whoever gets in that seat, so you better be ready to run because you'reg to get the idea. well, you know, i just got here. you got too you understand the process. and that's good. it's good you got to change things. all right. can i just make one point? because i do think that it makes a difference.ard. it isn't. but i just want to point something out that i think is helpful here. and the chief will say that it's only going to be reviewed with new wasted appeals that come in for people just delaying things. and that is a big problem going to get resolved just from that simple rule alone is going to change. beneficial to have the mitigation evidence up front because you go t attorneys go through
9:00 am
all of this in terms of preparing and then mitigation is presented late later in the game. and ithat's that that's helpful. yeah. let's please do it right up front. yeah that's great. yeahissioner i'm just making a motion. yeah, i will make. what are we on? sorry i'll make a motion to approve the draft. dgo2 .07 for use for meet an our labor relations resolution 23. dash 32nd. members of the public, i to make public comment regarding line item 12. please approach the podium. there is no public comment. commissioner clay, how do you vote? yes, commissioner clay commissioner walker is yes. commission young. yes. yes. commissioner says yeses. vice president carter ove here. yeah. not present. and president have six yeses. line item 13. discussion and possible action to adopt revised department crashes involving employees. discussion and possible action hi. good
9:01 am
evening, captain perdomo, for the training division please, no questions from here. any. yeah, it's my for just training implementation and not presentation of the actual perspective, a simple department notice would help. just know what the changes are to the dgo for this'm assuming we're going to go lineabout the training implementation. right. no, no. you're good. no we're good okay. perfect. all right. all right. motion to adopt revised general order 2.06. are we doing the standard? how many days for 9030? just a standard 30. this's not a lot to talk about. 30, go ahead. good what. go ahead. speak now or forever hold. okay. i just h. it wasn't necessarily about this, but it kind of last thing too, about raising the stuff with the discipline. but it relates to training. why something at training that goes over discipline? as part of the training the ambiguities about the things that keep comingough our drb or
9:02 am
discipline review board us. the cadets, the staff. that's a. i just came up because you training. so i had said it was a side comment about. but i will say of the admonishments that you typically see issued by the chief'sat is training. so for example, for a use of force incident, it's not uncommon tactics and force options unit to do retraining on something like the training that cadets naturally go through where they how discipline takes place, both with internal affairs and with agencies like dpa? it's supposed to, not the cadets themselves. or if you're talking about cadets, the civilians, or are you talking about the recruits that are in? academy? okay. the recruits that are in the police academy do have a block on internal affairs procedures related to that. as well as eeo but i which is what your staff didstation and give them a breakdown, an overview ofthink was extremely helpful because i few of those, and i saw the members responses that they were not famil with this process, and these were veteran officers. so i think that's what so a practice like that needs to continue. i mean, could dpa one training at the
9:03 am
academy? could that is that something we could arrange dpa training or. yeah, the dpa sor it's code done with dpa and ia. i atte that is correct. i think that can be very helpful. if it was only. i know the academy has a busy schedule, but i great idea to integrate that into the academy so that regardless of what is happening out there, there's so much misinformation about what the actual processes are and just trying to speak to that, to try and reintegrate that more helpful to do the district the veteran officers rather, because i think the cadets d in their training block. and previously director hawkins, she put out a webinar video with jack hart. and this was about 3 or 4s. also, dpa has always been invited to come t speak to sergeants, lieutenants trends as well as the disciplinary process. so the training has been rerelease the video. if you'd like. yeah, we can update it now. okay. so let's see if there's a way. i'm just trying to be creati is helpful to the officers who know. and clearing up the misunderstandingsow the discipline process works. only
9:04 am
conflates problems all around board. yeah, i'm going to agree think at the district station, when you're in the , you're taking it to like, water through a fire so, to your earlierent, i mean, one of the reasons that so few people are not familiar wit very many people really receive discipline in their careers terms of the number of people th, particular major discipline. so i think it's probably more effective at the district stations when you're out in the field and then you're more when you're in the academy you're taking just don't know if it would be as effective there. so that motion on the floor, and i think i think just one other point, i' 45 days just because of the volume of what's coming through right now with the dgos, 45 days to train. is that going to be for all of these or just for this oneright now? because there is just it's we got a huge volume, as commissioner young bulletins, i mean, the notices and the dor all of them. yes yes. you ask for 45 for all the if
9:05 am
it's something really complicated, you know, we need more than we'll askn i'll revise my2.06 with a 45 day implementation period. public would like to make public comment regarding line i podium the motion. commissioner clay, how do you vote? yes, commissio mr. walker is. yes. commissioner benedicto. yes. mr. benedicto is. yes. commissio mr. yanez is. yes. commissioner yee. yes. commissioner yee is. y is not present. and president elias. pres yes. you have six yeses. and possible action to adopt revised department. general order 5.01. use control of a person. discussion and possible action. on behalf of the training division, what we'd department notice and with that we'll have a quiz, we will create a video and on the video we'll explain the changes to deago 501. we also have some laminates that ar portions of use of force incidents that have to be recon camera. we're finalizing those we're also going toe. so that should take about 45 days t will also incorporate this into our advanced officerquestion. first actually,

9:07 am
right now says that it's? witnesses the it just didn't seem clear. doesn't seem clear to me how that that officer will be is going to be clarified in the training elements because i could i could foresee someg to go and be the person that has to document report on behalf of all those that are considered before, this was written up? yes, yes. i'm sorryf, go ahead, go ahead. okay. i can speak to the training portion be encompassed within the supervisor's role. so when they're scene they're supposed to conduct an investigation while they're the there, they will identify the officers, especially the officer en write the incident report or write the statement that incident report. so that's how i envision the training the discussions occurred. perfect. that that.
