they had an opportunity to learn about affect -- sfpd policies and procedures. goal is to build strong relationships with youth due to increased dialogue. youth participated by interviewing officers and community members. the end result produced three small videos about their experience. there were also field trips to various sights within the department, both that our crime scene unit, our swats and technical division and our special victims unit his. in this program, they were heisel youth that participated. fifty-five in total. they were divided into three groups. in june through august, do you through also placed under the project program which is run by the p.u.c.'s public utilities commission where sfpd supported hosting youth by placing them in various areas in the department. the goal of this program was to expose high school aged youth to the various departments within the department. youth participated in various departments learning about our training, our crime scene investigations, as well as our legal division. twenty youth participated in this pro

so sfpd and public works will lead. as you've heard, they want more beds. they want this service led, but we have more sf approximated. in fact when we began the research in 2014, there was on average about 22 homeless outreach officers in the city. as lozar just reported, we have 34 additional officers. that means we have doubled the police resources in addressing the homelessness in that city. the b.l.a. report that reported we were spending $20 million back then, it's probably much higher, and i would point out that that was not the recommendation of the budget and legislative analyst's office. their recommendation was opposite. and despite that, the resources are lacking. as we see in the areas, our goal is no tents or structures in the city. however, public works and sfpd will not clear where there is a public public encampment resolution in progress. i'd love too see the date -- to see the data on this, but when i was looking at the data between january and august last year, it was something like 5% of the total -- of the total engagement of hsoc wher

in march 2019, the youth commission in collaboration with sfpd hosted a round table. we heard from a lot of san francisco youth and community-based organizations about negative experiences they had with sfpd or comments or criticisms of sfbd policy they wanted to share but they didn't have a choice to share that because it is not uplifted as much as other voices. in the last year's budget and policy priorities we urged the mayor and board of supervisors to add a youth seat to a lot of commissions. youth voices are not heard as much as they should be. we would like to advise you to add the seat and show your support for the youth in addition to your support for under represented communities in san francisco. >> good evening. i am still getting used to the microphone thing. i just got appointed on wednesday. >> hold it closer. >> i am ron jones district 10 youth commissioner. i think the reason why it is very important to have the youth voice represented on this admission is because it is very cute to talk about summer efforts like earlier in the meeting. overall one of
