the first time with kids. so they planned it. they planned it all. like you're ready. and we missed the storm up there. really? yeah. we missed the river. you know, it was supposedly hit us on the. it was coming in. my dog. all right. continuing with roll, commissioner janez. commissioner, you present. commissioner janez. can you hear me? sometimes they have the mic.

i can't, i can't hear you for some reason, even though i'm on the video. just to call roll. you can hear me now. are you present? are you present? present. okay. thank you. let let me try to. i'll re log on. all right. thank you. thank you. commissioner yee. here. and vice president carter, we're still present. and we now have quorum president elias has also joined us. hello. thank you. please resume. all right. president elias is here. all right. also with us tonight, we have chief scott from the san francisco police department and acting director jermaine jones from the department of police accountability. they brought you

back. you silenced the crowd last time. that's why. go for it. all right. line item one. weekly officer recognition certificate. presentation of an officer who has gone above and beyond in the performance of their duties. officer ashley muhly, star number 1496 from ingleside station. good evening. commissioners. chief, everybody in the room. hi. my name is amy hurwitz. i am the captain of ingleside statio. if you don't know where ingleside station is, we are probably the southernmost district station in san francisco. we deal with many of the crimes that the other district stations have to deal with robbery, drugs, burglary, etc. but we also have a unique

challenge of gambling establishments. so illegal gambling establishments, these have been on the news, and a lot of people are like ma. so what? it's a gambling establishment, but it's the things that these establishments bring to our neighborhoods, both commercial and residential. so that is why officer ashley, molly and other members of the ingleside police department, ingleside station of the san francisco police department are here today. so before we get into the why we're here, we're going to talk about the who is standing next to me. so, officer ashley, molly is a fourth generation first responder. yay! her mom was a firefighter in the presidio. her dad was a san francisco fire department. she grew up in san francisco, and the thing that i like the most is she has a gecko whose name is wayne, which is an excellent name for a gecko and or a dog or cat. she is an

outstanding officer and an exceptional human being. officer molly is happy to take on a challenge and learn new things. this is how she is developing to become one of the future leaders of this department. and i believe that one day she will be sitting in that chair. so yay! officer molly really believes in safeguarding her community. the one of the most outstanding things about her is she is an advocate for domestic violence survivors. officer molly and some of her relatives are survivors. and even though this is a horrible thing, it enabled officer molly to recognize the situation, take proper action, and to help victims because that is why we have signed up to do this job is to help people. so why are we here today? so we had an a call one evening for a home invasion. shots fired, which is sort of an odd thing to hear in

a residential neighborhood in the ingleside district. officers responded. the scene was under control, and once the investigation began, they quickly realized that what they were dealing with was an illegal gambling establishment. so here's part of the problem. these establishments bring with them violence. so we're having shots fired in a in a quiet residential neighborhood. they attract people who commit robberies, burglaries, bring drugs in. and it really becomes very taxing for the neighborhood. and they complain to us and they tell us and sometimes they are just afraid to say something because they are held captive by what is going in and out of these house. so officer molly learned about the house. she knew that something more had to be done than just saying, oh yeah, cool. i'll take a police report. so officer molly began an investigation, which led to writing a search warrant,

getting a team together and serving the search warrant on the house. this is outstanding because, first of all, our patrol officers, as everybody in this room knows, does not have the time to do this. officer molly volunteered her time, so she gave up her time with her friends and her family to work on this case. this was huge. once that warrant was served, we walked out of there with illegal gambling machines, weapons and drugs. the people who were watching this go down on the street were thrilled. you know, it was a lot of quiet whispers to us like, oh my god, thank you. i mean, this house has been so horrible for us. and just to like, really overt, like, oh, we love you. thank you so much. so it's this kind of stuff. it's the quality of life that people really care about. and it's the things that sometimes they stop calling us about out of frustration, but we really care. and officer molly really needs to be commended for stepping up to making things better for

people. so for that, she is 100% our officer of the month. so officer molly, this is for you. this is a good looking certificate. thank you. officer of the week. okay. do you want to. oh go ahead. oh thank you for the ability for allowing me to protect and serve my community. it really it makes a difference being able to help the people that i grew up with. and also just make new acquaintances in the city that i love. so thank you. chief. thank you. brett. you. president elias. officer molly, first of all, congratulations. i know i've heard your your stories about your your great work before tonight, but i just want to say, you know, captain horowitz, i think said it best,

but we're really proud of the work that you do. and i see all your partners and your sergeant here to support you, which also means a lot. and, you know, nobody does this alone, but your individual efforts have made you shine. so it's very deserving. and we're really proud to have you as a member of our department, doing the work that you do, because it matters and you matter. so thank you so muc. yes, i'm going to echo that. thank you. first, we are happy that you are here a native. we won't give you pop quiz of asking what school you went to. we'll save that. okay. well then you're even even better in my book and we are happy you know that you are here. you're providing. but i think what speaks volumes is the collegiality and the fact that your coworkers are here to celebrate this accomplishment for you. so, you know, i want to congratulate you. thank you for your service and for your description of the amazing work that she's done. so thank you,

commissioner benedicto. thank you so much. president elias. thank you, captain hurwitz, for that presentation. congratulations to officer molly. i'll definitely echo what president elias said. additionally, for those members of the public who are not aware, this is the second time officer molly has been recognized. i know for the officer of the month was you as well as some of your colleagues from ingleside were also recognized for this great work. so thank you for doing this work. and congratulations again. commissioner yee, thank you very much. there. president elias, i also want to echo what the commissioner, kevin benedicto, said and your captain being selected again, the weekly officer of the week is being recognized for all your hard work and your dedication to public safety here. so again, thank you and congratulations and wish you the best in your future. and to the team too. as well. ingleside team, thank you very much. sergeant i'll take a

snapshot here. if any member of the public would like to make public comment regarding line item one, please approach the podium going. right. and there is no public comment. one announcement for tonight for on the agenda tonight we are going to be removing line item three consent calendar as well as line item 13. the discussion on dgo 6.14. thank you for that line. item two general public comment. at this time the public is now welcome to address the commission for up to two minutes on items that do not appear on tonight's agenda, but are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the police commission under police commission rules of order. during public comment, neither police or dpa personnel nor commissioners are required to respond to questions by the public, but may provide a brief

response. alternatively, you may submit public comment in either of the following ways. email the secretary of the police commission at sfpd. commission at sfgov. org or written comments may be sent via us postal service to the public safety building, located at 1245 third street, san francisco, california. 94158. if you would like to make public comment, please approach the podium. at. good evening, police commission. for the record, my name is chris ward klein. i've been coming here for several months now, and i've been hearing this story and it's hard. and yesterday at the city, the board of supervisors, the city, the former city attorney admitted to the technology behind miss oracle and everything. so now we know where the records are. so i'm going to ask the police commission to influence the police department to get a subpoena for the records that the city attorney's office, and they're protecting a person that influenced this crime in the state of california. that is a

crime to influence somebody to commit a crime. so most of you probably don't know of my background. i was a former investigator. i have a nonprofit where we do free investigations for people that just need assistance. i've been in the federal court numerous times. i've worked with the secret service, the fbi, department of justice, health and human services, commerce department, locally and state police. that's where the records are at. it's time for closure to give this mother closure and time to heal. i am available to each of you. you have my contact information. if you don't, i will leave it. but that's where the records are. we need to get a subpoena for the records. it's an hmi s system. it's oracle salesforce. it's no longer a secret because dennis o'hara is the best character witness out there. he admitted to it yesterday in front of the board of supervisors and all the city attorneys were there. that's where the records are. please act on this. thank you.

okay. so good evening. i was waiting for the chief, but he's not here. he's coming back. did you start? no, it's not fair. okay. never mind. so it's going to be the third time i'm saying this twice to the board of supervisors. but you need to be aware. it's not normally my so-called job to say it, but. okay, you will know now for good that the pandemic of unintelligence coming from something called covid, the meaning of covid is certificate of vaccination id in reverse. it reads devoxx which in hebrew means demon. now you will know.

for what's coming, probably next, because i think an intelligence of which we are all the victims here in the city, but all over the world is going to double down until it's clear that it fails because it's going to fail. you're going to fail. no technology, because technology basically, whether as a tool or a weapon today as self-control by definition, it's a machine. so whoever promotes this technology seems not to have much self-control, you know, whereas we human beings needs absolutely self-control just to copy eternity, because eternity is self control. that's

it. have a good night. good evening, commissioners. chief scott. my name is paul allen. i wish to suggest to the police commission that at its first meeting next year or as soon thereafter as practicable, we move from the micro to the macr, and that is to agendize. or perhaps it's not even necessary to have a report from the chief on for the calendar year 2020 for the three most consequential positive actions that the police department was able to take with regard to public safety and with respect to those the reasons, therefore, that is to say, the contributors, the contributing factors and also to report on the three most consequential

challenges that the department failed to meet or was unable to meet. i don't i don't mean to be derogatory when using the term failed, but challenges that were that were unmet and with regard to those also the reasons, therefore, i think that would give the public, particularly at the beginning of a calendar year, and having completed a contentious one, which also was an election, an opportunity to look at the big picture and to understand the accomplishments that were in fact made and also the challenges that lie before us and the reasons of that. those were unmet. and i would urge that that be early on the agenda as soon as possible. thank you. those are great suggestions. mr. allen. we're going to sign you up again for another task.

good evening. happy belated holidays and happy holidays that are getting ready to come up. i'd like to use the overhead. i hear every wednesday bringing awareness to unsolved homicides. again. today, i mean, this year is bittersweet. and my son's case isn't solved. there's an empty plate at the table.

christmas was coming. my son loved christmas. i remember sitting in the mall in the morning putting him down because he was the only boy, and having them open up their christmas presents. we have that anymore. i wrote a. i'm kind of out of words to say, but what i want to put down here is this event. i gave it to max carter over stone to give to present to all of you to come on this day, august 14th. i mean, i mean december 11th at 3:00 on the street renaming, unveiling of the street name of my son. i don't know if this is the first african american boy that have been murdered to homicide to black on black crime. name is put up there, but it's it gives me the reassurance that what i'm

saying and all the things that i've been doing for these last 18 years has not gone in vain. that is something is happening now, and i don't know how what to say. but i thank dean preston for this. thank you. please come out. any member of the public has any information regarding the murder of aubrey plaza. you can call the anonymous 24 over seven tip line at (415) 575-4444. line item four. adoption of minutes. action for the meetings of november 6th and november 20th, 2024. create a motion a motion to adopt the minutes for november 6th and november 20th, with one revision to the november 20th. minutes brought to my attention by staff, which is for the november 20th meeting, noting that it was assistant chief lazaro sitting in for chief scott. i'll second.

thank you. if any member of the public would like to make public comment regarding line item for the adoption of minutes. please approach the podium. i'm seeing none. on the motion, commissioner yana. i'm sorry, commissioner benedict. how do you vote? yes, commissioner benedict is. yes, commissioner jones. yes. mr. jones is. yes, commissioner yi. yes. commissioner yi is. yes. vice president carter. overstone. yes. vice president carter robertson is. yes. and president elias. yes. president. lions is. yes. you have five yeses. line item five. chief's report. discussion weekly crime trends and public safety concerns provide an overview of offenses, incidents, or events occurring in san francisco having an impact on public safety. commission discussion on unplanned events and activities. the chief describes will be limited to determining whether to calendar for a future meeting. chief scott. thank you, sergeant youngblood. good evening, president elias. vice president carter and miss wu, welcome back. and commissioners and the public. i'll start this

week's report off with our crime trends. and i'll be brief on this. so, so far, year to date, this is as of january. i'm sorry. december 1st. we are 30% down in part one crimes. that includes violent and property crimes. the breakdown is 32% reduction in property and 14% reduction in violent crimes. that's a total of a 14,259 crime reduction from this time last year, with three and a half weeks to go in the year. we don't see these these crime decreases being erased, although they may fluctuate slightly. but we're going to end up having a very, very successful year in terms of crime reduction statistically. just a few highlights on those numbers that i just gave. homicides. we are. 33%, 34%, i'm sorry, 34% below where we were this time last

year. we had 50 this time last year. 33. year to date. and we're we're at a pace if we continue this trend to be probably lower than we've been in over 60 years. so i think that's very encouraging news in terms of our shooting related homicides, we're 31% down 32 this time last year, 22 year to date. our gun violence is also down by 26%, 184 compared to 3137 this year. so this year has has been fairly successful in terms of crime reduction on the property side, crime, the biggest, most significant reduction is thefts and particularly car break ins were down 56%. over 10,000 fewer crimes than this time last year. so we are heading into the second week of december with fewer than 10,000 crimes. i don't know when the last time that we've had a statistic that low. so this is due to some really good work by the

officers. we do believe that some of the technology improvements have made a difference. the real time crime center implementation has been huge in terms of the ability to solve more crimes and quicker. and i know i think over time that's going to improve our clearance rate on some of these more difficult crimes like some of the car break ins and all. but so far it's very promising. we do have a lot to say about the gun violence reduction. our every strategy has been three three years plus in the making, and we believe that that has come together. our unit, community violence reduction team has really done a good job buying into that strategy and bringing it to life. so we do believe that that does impact our ability to reduce gun crime, particularly in the southeast part of the city, which has had a 50% reduction over over previous years with gun related crimes. so that's where that strategy has been focused.

hopefully we can expand that as staffing allows, but there are some other parts of the city, including the mission district, where we really believe this. this strategy will be effective. so that's on the future. but we have to have the staffing to do that. other significant happenings for this week, this past week, we did have two homicides the day after thanksgiving and one was a stabbing. one was a shooting. both are still under investigation, both with really good leads. so i'll keep the public and the commission updated on those as those cases develop. one happened on november 29th at 6:25 a.m. a victim was discovered who was suffering from a stab wound. he was located in the area of mission and sycamore, and the victim was transported but declared deceased at the hospital. so no arrests at this time. but again, investigators have some some good leads and are working through those leads. on november 29th at 9:41 p.m, there was a victim located in the unit block of gold street in

the bayview suffering from gunshot wounds. officers rendered aid, as did responding paramedics, but despite these efforts, the victim died of his injuries. multiple casings were located. witnesses provided description of three possible suspects who were in the area. no arrests have been made at this time, but again, a lot of information for investigators to follow up on, so we are optimistic on that one as well. there were three non-fatal shootings during this period, one on the 1200 block of gilman in the bayview. the victim was at home when a subject, accompanied with his roommate entered the entered the house, ransacked the house and shot the victims. no arrests at this time. investigation is ongoing. there was also a case in the northern on the 1200 block of pierce street. the victim suffered from a gunshot wound during an argument. the subject fled the scene. there was actually an arrest has been made on that case. this happened on the 29th at 2:04 p.m, and then on the
