the board requires sfpd of the provide transparency regarding sfpd's involvement in collaboration with private agencies involved in surveillance and possible actions with political and religious organizations. hrc and the police commission will hold a hearing to require disclosure of information concerning their own or joint national security or anti- terrorism programs. we will have a real dialogue about this issue. we have had numerous meetings in collaboration with asian law caucus and the aclu on recommendations regarding civilian oversight of the law localjttf. the joint venture will combat possible acts of terrorism. it is memorialized in the memorandum of understanding between the parties. the issue of these joint terrorism task forces and their implication on civil-rights is a topic of discussion in many u.s. cities going on right now in portland and in oakland. you may have read the recent "chronicle "sports article -- " chronicle" article as well. a serious terrorism threat was uncovered after a city council resolution a few weeks ago. portland is the only incident of a local

i don't want to make it like i am going off on the sfpd. i appreciate everything they have been doing. president mazzucco: think you, mr. harris. >> i filed a complaint against the san francisco police department. i alleged that over an extended period of time, the police department harassed me in an effort to get me to leave the city because i knew the identity of one of the confidential informants in the jackson street gang case. do you hear me? the occ ruled information only. they said the matters i brought up raised issues that were beyond the jurisdiction of the occ. the definition of "information only" is the actions described were not permitted by sworn member of the department or the story told is so unbelievable that it cannot be accepted by a competent authority. they also said, regarding the statement in the letter of finding, that it was beyond the jurisdiction of the occ. one of the investigators told me that the fbi [inaudible] the policemen that i named in the complaint was retired and therefore they did not have jurisdiction

seeing what was evolving, a coordinated with sfpd -- i coordinated with sfpd and horizon. they put their security back on the street and loaned them to other venues to help them manage the crowd, which was a very good thing they did. we were able to coordinate the clubs to tighten up there and policies and were able to get the crowd dispersed in probably half an hour to 45 minutes. it was good. it was a situation that could have gone sideways badly. but in high stress or bad times, people pull together. this is one of the examples where we had all the clubs on broadway working together. it shows that when they do all work together, what can be accomplished. that is it for my report, unless there are questions. vice chair joseph: i have a couple. i want to start with horizon. all the clubs on broadway participated or benefited by horizon tipped security going to them? >> yes. -- horizon's security going to them? >> yes. vice chair joseph: isn't that the chicago process we were talking about over the years, having security coordinate with each other? and you found it works,

i have a lot of issues with the sfpd. i have been voicing them for 19 months in front of the commission. doing their jobs is not one of them. this city has a crime rate probably unmatched by any county or city in the country. you worry more about the ethnic community when a lot of the ethnic people in the community are worried about it themselves. it just so happens that a lot of crime in this city is coming from the ethnic community. the majority of them are not to blame. it is a very small percentage. you keep protecting them. we have murderers on the street. muggers are on the street. they are still on the street. i have seen the network. [tone] >> members, i am the director of open government. in 2008, i had the privilege and responsibility of being a field election deputy for the primary and general elections that were held here in san francisco. the areas in the precinct over which i had oversight were in the bayview hunters point area. the number one question i received from both members of the public and from my p

they have been doing these kind of events on the past, both southern station and the sfpd. we all know about it. to be honest, it is just catching them. commissioner meko: this probably is more relevant to the sfpd and fire marshal and it is to you. >> correct. commissioner meko: you do not have the tools to deal with them. >> correct. in the past, i will make a call to dispatch. commissioner meko: hanks. -- thanks. president newlin: public comment on the executive director's report. seeing none, will move to item four, police department comments and questions. >> good evening. i am steve matthias from central station. cinco de mayo was a good night in central. everything was pretty manageable. we had a few good events, but they all went well. we had no incidents or violence that i have come across at all. one of the establishments, club atmosphere, we learned there were having a live performance by a popular entertainer. we voiced are there -- we voice our concerns about overcrowding and making sure they could handle the line outside, and what their staffing levels were go

i know the sfpd cannot be the police there. we have an ombudsman, a lot of problems could be solved on the spot. i'm glad to see you are working on solutions and that there are recommendations, and you are willing to help. >> good evening. thank you for putting this on. i am the director of the fund that supports a 17 a-area memsa communities. there were earlier comments about the trust we should put in the u.s. attorney general. as a community member and someone who works with community members, i can tell you the actions the fbi have taken have eroded the trust. the men and women are supposed to protect us. instead, the community, community-base organizations as well as individuals, feel pro failed and -- profiled and surveillance. this will spread even more in terms of relations and perceptions of the sfpd. i encourage you to strongly consider the resolution options and burn our community's trust back. you can protect our civil rights and keep us safe. if you ignore the resolution option, you will be sending the community a

the number of officers that are working there, this is something we're confused about because the sfpd published in their annual report the number of officers as of just a few years ago. so in -- it's on the website still. in 2008 it was two officers. o.p.d. talks about it on the radio. they have one officer. i'm not sure why that's secret but it's an issue that the more openness, the more likely we can solve these issues. commissioner dejesus: the other question i have, i'm looking at the bureau order and i looked at the d.g.o. and i think one of the issues we had is there is no commission oversight, even though the commissioner is going to look at what's been done monthly, that commissioner doesn't have the clearance, if i understand this right. doesn't have the clearance and we'd only see a sanitized version of the events. i'm a little concerned if that's the way -- am i reading that correctly? >> yeah. the reason we did not go through the bureau general order was in the interest of time and also in acknowledgment that there seems to be openness to taking other suggestions on it. an

. -- sfpd. supervisor cohen: now i have a series of prepared questions. many of the questions i have the i will be asking have come from folks to have -- who have emailed me because they were unable to attend the hearing today. around the time, it was generally reported this new light rail service would cut the travel time between visitation valley and the south midmarket area by five to 10 minutes. have we achieved that time savings of 10 minutes? >> i just want to understand the

i think that should be on the agenda to be discussed and brought up by the sfpd. that is all i have to say on the subject. thank you for your time. president mazzucco: thank you. next speaker? >> good evening. my name is eric. i'm following up on last week. when the harassment on me began, i knew right away that i was in over my head. there was a conspiracy involving a large number of people who were trained in what they were doing, and they are particularly trained in the use of plausible deniability. they made me fear for my life, the safety of my family. i went to the san francisco police department, and prove detrimental to my calls. i was left alone to deal with this, and when you are under that kind of pressure, for extended time, i don't care if your james bond, you'll have a negative reaction to it. when i did, it gave the san francisco police department the chance to use the 5150 code to transport made to a psychiatric facility against my will. up till this time, i had no history of mental illness. i had a successful career as an accountant. in april, whe

we will be following up with sfpd to regulate the security guards. we're in contact with both agencies and lending our support and help there on what they need to follow that case through. also, we had a weird kind of situation with shots fired at fluid. we had reports of shots fired but that is sketchy at best. the only reports we had of damage are damage from slugs across the street. again, working with southern station, we're looking into this particular case. there seem to be some facts missing, if shots were fired, it was well after the shots were closed. there seem to be some big questions on this particular case. we'll continue to keep the commission informed as we work with the station on that. officer mathias is here from central. he will go over the incidents we had at central. again, for this time of year, i have to say that it is not that bad. i mean, going into june, july, august, these are the times of year traditionally when we see a rise in violence in entertainment venn use and so far we're not seeing that spike. hopefully that will

however, the sfpd and police commission officials refused to recognize and denied me equal rights of equal protection, equal treatment and due process of laws. in january 2009, one official, who is an ex-commissioner, told our attorney, mr. charles vonner, who was argue rg about some of the violations that the interim rules of procedure proceeded, that they didn't care about the constitutional rules. that if we did not follow these rules of the rules of procedure that we would be disciplined and terminated. in september 2009, another official from the sfpd, legal division, told me at my chief's hearing when i brought up the violations of my constitutional rights, that the rules and procedures are the department policy and will not be changed without a court order. since that time, the certain officials that i brought up have ignored all notices of constitutional right arguments and proceeded with their own agenda causing me to believe that a court order is the only way to proceed to end these violations as brought up by the legal division attorney. >> thank you, sir. commissioners, t

we work with the sfpd. we use their numbers to deploy the muni response team, and we see the areas where we have major concerns. we will deploy the inspectors with the muni response team out there also. john mentioned the pco's. they held go out, and they go to different locations on the lines. if there are traffic problems, they can direct traffic and help the transit vehicles get through safely and in a speedy manner. supervisor cohen, you mentioned switchbacks. we have tfi's the go out and perform customer service that to speak cantonese. they give direction to the non- english speaking public. if we know ahead of time, we're able to send those folks out there. we deploy them to those specific locations. are there any questions? supervisor cohen: not yet. supervisor mar: i did have one. after the march 2010 killing and if you other incidents that happened, there was concentrated targeted enforcement and armed police that were accompanying the transit inspectors. there were other efforts made to try to ra

brought a lot of us together with the focus to work with sfpd. just briefly, giving you this document, i will walk briefly through a little bit of the background what we're doing and really briefly through the outline. that's subject to change. it will change a little bit. just to go through this quickly on the back side, methodology and values in it, it's opposed to c.i.t. training which is really great. we're building off of that one. this one will have -- each day will have kind of a theme, schematics. instead of focusing on specific diagnosis or symptoms, we're more focused on bow hamber. for example, one day might be suicidal behavior. one day might be voices and hearing hallucinations which we have heard from officers, there's going to be probably very useful in addressing behavior and deescalating behaviors. that will be the primary teaching modality. we'll have consumer interfaith so people who lived experience of mental illness will talk every day and that includes family and individuals. that will run throughout the training. really the

that's where sfpd picked up the surveillance and ultimately came face-to-face with the suspect.ks up the story for us from the scene. john? >> carolyn, the bmw with the bullet holes has been on the street for more than five hours right mow as agents and police snapped pictures and ect cled evidence. the fbi confirms to abc7 that they had been in contact with sfpd about a southern california bank robber known as the gen-x bandit. it was an on board gps navigation system that lead officers to this street. a burst of gunfire alongside buena vista park. officers from the san francisco pd robbery unit had been staking out the bmw for several hours after getting a call from the fbi about a southern california robbery suspect. >> our team located a vehicle and set up a surveillance on the vehicle until later this afternoon. >> and how did they know where the vehicle was? >> through the on board gps. that's where we located the vehicle to the street. >> when the suspect got into the car at 5 on. 40 in the afternoon -- at 5:40 on the afternoon, a half dozen plain-clothed officers approac

so this year, we are focuses on the summer safe passages that john is leading with the sfpd. we are coordinating sports and recreation and reviving the basketball which started out of mlca. which has signed up 5 hundred kids to reconnect them to baseball. this is a collaborative efforts from the giants and black aces. it's being held throughout the city. we are connected with pop warner here in san francisco that do football and cheerleading. we will be having alive and free. it's going to kind of be like i hate sara marshall. how many folks so that? it was all over. anywhere you saw it, you saw it. we have to create a culture where we won't accept that. >> you have listed a lot of things going on. where are we going to look to see when its going to start? where can we look to see this is going to start here. we can hold us accountable. >> certainly, so our intention is we are developing a summer resource guide. we will be giving to the community conveners and community builders. and with the san francisco housing authority. these will be saturated. it will be on the msclb we

it just occurred to me that often what is overlooked is i think it's significant part of the sfpd, and that is the airport bureau. if we are going to have the captain and such come here, i'd like to hear from the airport bureau, because we really did not hear any statistics in regards to what happens at the airport. sitting here, it occurred to me that in all of the commission meetings, we have not heard anything from them. president mazzucco: okay, thank you. any further public comment? dr. marshall? vice president marshall: i know that it is a couple weeks away, but what you make the announcement of the committee meeting. president mazzucco: he did. vice president marshall: oh. sorry. president mazzucco: line item 4? >> item four, public comment on all matters pertaining to item 6 below, closed session, disciplinary cases, including public comments on the vote whether to hold item 6 in closed session. president mazzucco: ladies and gentlemen, any public comment on the item 6? any public comment regarding the confidentiality of these proceedings? hearing nine, please call the next ite

law enforcement where i went to the san francisco police academy many years ago, graduated from the sfpd class, trained in environmental forensics, both here locally, state, and finally by the u.s. epa in a training center, and i worked with the district attorney's office in san francisco for nine years becoming -- before becoming elected supervisor. i was one of 20 people who co- founded the green party in california. i thought that the democratic party in the united states had essentially vacated or left and use a little too much with the political right. in my opinion, there had been insufficient advocacy for people who were left of center. less than to w. years ago, i decided it was time for me to shift direction and said the democrats. that is what this comes down to. that does not take quite as long comparatively to other cities, either. if anything, at least maybe permitting is made to the frustration that red tape business is the way you deal with that reality, but in terms of legislation, good idea actually gets marshall pretty quickly in this city. i love to campaign. i knew th

observed anything out of the ordinary in the early morning hours of friday, june 10, are asked to contact sfpd homicide detail at 553-1145, during hours and after hours, 553-1145. or anonymous tip line, 575-4444. i do not think we can quite see well, but this is his "we need your help" poster now being circulated throughout the lower haight area. so we can get some identification. the rest i will submit. >> thank you. supervisor elsbernd. supervisor elsbernd: thank you. i also have just one item, and it is also an in memoriam.

the question is, is there an enforcement plan for the zones, in terms of collaborating with sfpd? the second question is the timing of when this will happen, related to the school year. >> if i may, commissioner, you're really referring to item eight. i am sorry that we misled you. we can take that item first, so we can answer the commissioners question. commissioner weiner: i thought we were on the8. why don't we wait until we are on that item. commissioner mirkarimi: any conversation on this item? ok. is there anyone from the public that would like to comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. same house, same call. colleagues? so moved. now item eight. >> item 8. allocate $1,255,420 in prop k funds, with conditions, for six projects, and appropriate $78,866 in prop k funds for planning and implementation of the integrated travel demand management partnership project, subject to the attached fiscal year cash flow distribution schedules, and amend the relevant 5-year prioritization programs. this is an action item. commissioner mirkarimi: commissioner wiener. co

i have also called sfpd on multiple occasions to intervene in conflicts. so i know that david's integrity specifically -- he does appreciate the complexity of the work, but i think that is balanced with deep empathy for the various communities that to come into contact with law- enforcement. and i think that will enhance the efforts of the commission to foster accountability, which i think we know is necessary for san francisco to stand behind its police department. he is an ally, in his efforts to advance -- as well as his pro bono reputation he banged the ethics commission, i think, -- . @ nothing but the most respect for him personally and professionally. supervisor kim: thank you. >> good afternoon. i am here for david waggoner. i have known him also for seven or eight years. sorry about that. david and i met through the national lawyer's skill -- killed in law school. we both served on the national board for the guild. i am a past co-chair of the united color caucus. i particularly want to address david's integrity, his very intelligent, smart, multid
