commissioner dejesus: can you call the first item? >> item one is the consent calendar to secure communities monthly audit, time of september through october 2010, and november through december 2010. there is also request of captain john joseph garrity to accept a gift of a jacket valued at approximately $150 from mr. larry sechuk, loss prevention and special operations, from macy's new york. >> i would move to accept it. what you see in front of you is probably six months of reports. >> second. >> any public comment? commissioner dejesus: any public comment on the secure communities issue. thank you. the next is the request for the captain, joseph garrity, to accept the gift jacket. >> so moved. >> second. commissioner dejesus: any public comment on that? >> i just want to applaud the captain for his suggestion of donating the jacket to a person in the tenderloin. >> i was either going to donate it in a raffle or give it to a person in the committee. commissioner dejesus: without objections, commissioners? ok. >> public comment? comm

commissioner dejesus: any public comment on that? >> i just want to applaud the captain for his suggestion of donating the jacket to a person in the tenderloin. >> i was either going to donate it in a raffle or give it to a person in the committee. commissioner dejesus: without objections, commissioners? ok. >> public comment? commissioner dejesus: ok, move to item number two. >> item number 2 is general public comment. the public is now welcome to address the commission regarding items that do not appear on tonight's agenda but that are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission. speakers shall address their remarks to the commission as a whole and not to individual commissioners or department or occ personnel. under police commission rules of order, during police -- during public comment, neither police or occ personnel or commissioners are required to respond to questions. individual commissioners and police and occ personnel should refrain from entering into any debates or discussion with speakers during public comm

commissioner commissioner dejesus:. -- commissioner dejesus. commissioner dejesus: i'm not clear on what you are talking b i must have missed a meeting whether that was appointed. i'm not sure what you're looking into. kipskins let's clarify that point. -- commissioner kingsley: let's clarify that point. back in january when we were all grappling with certain aspects of the discipline process, chief gascon indicated that there were aspects of our process that were come bersome as a whole for the department and for the parties involved as well. a few of us looked into revamping the discipline case as a whole. that's what this exploration is about. to check with o.c.c. department, p.o.a., and the city attorney, with the guidance of the city attorney around the entire discipline case process as opposed to what commissioner slaughter has been working on, which is specifically the procedures in the hearing for -- you know, by the commission. specifically. so there is some overlap here, but the revamping is larger than just the procedures themselves.

commissioner dejesus: thank you. who's your assistant? >> this is my permit officer. commissioner dejesus: thank you for that presentation. a couple of questions? commissioner hammer: captain, thank you. some of us asked about this a couple weeks ago because of the spike in violence. i think it is clear from the presentation that all of the officers and a mission statement have done extraordinary efforts to bring that down. as we know, one act of gang violence ultimately leads to the next and the next. i think everyone there has been successful, and i congratulate everybody on that. the thing i am most moved on, to commend everybody, we talk about community policing. sometimes it is more talk, sometimes it is more action. there was a day in san francisco, in the best sense, when beat cops knew every kid on the street and every mom in the neighborhood and everybody took care of each other, everyone knew each other. we get sometimes now where our officers are very separate from the neighborhoods. we're not able to do o

president mazzucco: commissioner dejesus? commissioner dejesus: we are already at the end of march, and i would personally like to see get a community meeting in each of the 10 districts before the end of the year. we have to get on it and get it scheduled if we decide all of a sudden that is the route we want to go. president mazzucco: we can do that. we generally do not meet in december, so if the meeting is in the last week of the month, which they normally are, the last week of the month, we could plan them out. >> commissioner marshall, the first one we have is january 5, so maybe we can reverse it? so that we can free up this part of december in meet in december? -- and meet in december? vice president marshall: where are we? commissioner hammer: we talked about it two weeks ago. it looks like it has been since july 2008 or august 2008. i think it has been more recently. you are right. february. it was one year ago. vice president marshall: we will take suggestions. commissioner hammer: if i could just finish that, it w

. >> commissioner dejesus. commissioner dejesus: i wanted to ask you clarification numbers. for 2011 there were 10 cases cleared, and this 19 total cases from what i can see. that 65%, does that include the 10 cases out of jurisdiction? >> it includes those, yes. zpuse seduce -- commissioner dejesus: does that mean they are arrested? >> that's correct. in six additional cases we have suspects i.d.'s but from having an identification to putting it to a place where you can prosecute someone in court, sometimes there's additional work that needs to be done, so in those six cases, we are continuing to do the work. >> if the jurisdiction cases are added to that 6%, does it make it 12 cleared out of 21? >> yes. >> 14-21? >> 12. commissioner dejesus: i just wanted to know if that was accurate or not. >> yes, it is accurate. commissioner dejesus: i have to say going up last year from 42% to 65%, even with the added jurisdiction cases, it is great. and i do commend you for that. i feel you guys can do even better and hopefully we can get even more ask get that percentage up higher, e

commissioner hammer: i would direct a question to commissioner dejesus. the first concern is how does the document get inside without them knowing about it? we're not going answer tonight. it is not on the agenda but it is a question. if documents are being signed which might undermine them. i think the question is what is the procedure by which something would have to be vetted by the commission to say wait a second, this is not what we ordered. commissioner dejesus: no, i talked to an ex-commissioner. this was brought to our attention. that was significant language that was excluded. if they could violate a d.t.o., where is the check and balance? >> where is there protection? >> that was raised commissioner hammer. that is one of the things we discussed yesterday. some say they don't want the police commission to review every m.o.u. that there are too many. but that is really important when we have had some discussions about that. but there will be, i want to make perfectly clear, our officers have been told -- commander mahoney has been advised when th

my few of the process is -- commissioner dejesus, we are glad you want to be involved. i don't think it is fair to anybody. it could down the line require charter amendments, but there is nothing -- other cities in california do it in drastically different ways. i think we need to consider whether there might be other ways that deal with discipline that are more efficient. it is my view much how it works. if there are ways we can do it, and if charter amendments are a hassle and you -- if we can make a compelling case i think we ought to consider it. commissioner kingsley: commissioner slaughter you were out when we -- commissioner slaughter: i apologize. commissioner kingsley: no, i wanted to clarify and bring you up to date with this as well. i know you expressed an interest on day one with this. the chief has offered to arrange a meeting with members of the commission that are working on this with folks in los angeles to look at their system. because it works well for l.a. again, not in mind of transporting that system to san francisco, but just to take a look at how

commissioner dejesus: i cannot take any credit for this. i was in one meeting and there was nothing about a charter amendment. nothing was addressed. they talk about the system that we currently addressed. maybe having a little more authority to stopping things before they blow up. kind of like the early warning sign system. i have never seen this charter amendment. i am disconcerted here that there is some kind of deadline. i never heard that there was some deadline. what i don't understand is that the chief wanted this because he was going to take control and have discipline. the whole reason it came here is because they couldn't even get them to respond to charges that they wanted to file. they let the statute of limitations run. they want everything and they will discipline officers and you will not have any of it. that is ludicrous. they have this commission more active in discipline and taking away from the department. they are not party to this. they have met with the multitude of groups. they can bring it directly to the commission

commissioner dejesus: of like to thank you for your report. you can shoot me an e-mail or something. those are really important figures. i know they will change. i also support the control specialists. i agree that they follow the rules. i want to thank allen for working with you, and i want to point out that this is not all of the patrol specialists. there are many that are not, but i believe that they should follow the rules. commissioner marshall: i think it is important, what can we do? i am saying that because it will really send a message to the ones that are not complying. it is very important to tell the other kids, you know, the one that are doing good behavior, they don't like to be seen with the ones that are not doing good behavior. i think it will really do something good for the ones that are complying. >> at the urging of the commission, i can ask the lieutenant to call those three patrol specials and ask them to stand out until they are in compliance. -- stand down until they are in compliance. >> he has all of the historical k

vice president marshall: commissioner dejesus? commissioner dejesus: i tend to agree with both commissioner slaughter and commissioner hammer. we have to be able to switch. i do think that there are some items that fall within the purview of this commission that we have to address. making sure that our policies are up to date. the surveillance it's a significant one, and that should be moved up to -- the surveillance is a significant one, and that should be moved up so we can do those dgo's. unreal other hand, i do believe there are policy issues that the commission should address. vice president marshall: here is my question? how do we do this without having to retreat could i am comfortable with assigning a few, i am. commissioner kingsley? commissioner kingsley: well, commissioner marshall, keeping in mind what all of the commissioners of expressed about working within the overall policy and structures, a structure that we as a commission feel is important as well as retaining flexibility for items that come upped as well as ke

joe marshall, commissioner james slaughter, commissioner petra dejesus. we are also joined by chief of police george gascoign. also with us are the it assistant chief. this isn't she said of the operation pirro. assistant chief denise schmitt. deputy chief john murphy, enforcement and security at the mta. commander sandra tong of the airport bureau. commander james dudley of the airport operations bureau. commander daniel mahoney, chief of the operations staff. commander daniel lazard, chief of investigations. this is a time when we stop and offer special members of the police department. these are members who have distinguished themselves through their bravery and dangerous situations. it is important to note one of the criteria for the medal of honor this one failed to -- failure to take such action would lead to center. these are actions above and beyond call of duty. at this time, i would like to invite the chief of police, cheif gascon, to come up here and speak. >> thank you, everyone, for being here. this is a special moment in policing movie get t

[applause] >> commissioner dejesus wanted to say a few words. >> i also want to thank all of the awardees tonight. i also want to acknowledge our officers give time, energy, and oftentimes money in the community they live in, as well as to the children in those communities. lt. henry parr is the coordinator of the housing authority but is also active in the operation dream, which gives toys to children in the housing -- over $25,000. they will start distributing those toys december 20 through december 23. we are going to post and on the website. i just wanted knowledge, in doing your everyday work, they give so much time to our community, and this is a wonderful thing to do to give toys to the children of those in the housing authority. thank you. [applause] >> now we will have the medal of valor presentation for sgt timothy paine, sergeant james o'malley, sgt gregory kane, officer william eleiff, and officer steven stearns. [applause] >> on may 5, 2004, a round in o'clock p.m., there was an attempted kidnapping of strangers of a woman and her son. the suspect proceeded in a chevy trailbl

as to commissioner dejesus, the reason why it has not been framed in that fashion, up until now, it has been in exploratory meetings to get some ideas on what they think could make the system better. it is not just that. even though it started there. that is one solution that seems to be pointing in that direction i know it took you by surprise. when i further talk with the city attorney about the deadlines, it became very apparent that if we did not take this head on and trouble with that, that we needed to do that. i would just like to add one more thing. that is that we adhere a couple of discussions. a critical part of this needs to be discussed in closed session. i propose that we have part of the discussion in open session and the necessary part scheduled for an agenda item. >> attempts like this have happened before. that is why i know that we have never actually discussed this at the commission meeting. we have studied the department, we have never actually had a discussion or studied the disciplinary process. i would like to have a discussion openly here. i don't mind people ta

[applause] just by way of background for those of you in the audience, there was a swearing in today, it was an honor to be part of that ceremony. the commissioners were president. we look at you, greg, as the reflection of the work we've put in for the past 100 days, a long, significant 100 days, and it was a very, very thorough process that led to your selection. we had 77 applicants. we interviewed an untold number of candidates. unlike last time, the commission not only interviewed the finalists once, but twice. commissioner chan and i had the pleasure. and it came down to three names presented to the mayor and this

dejesus doesn't get that one. doesn't mean he would stop trying. in the eighth, sliding.but the red sox win 5-3 and split their two game mini series. major league baseball has taken over the operations of the los angeles dodgers. the team has been in turmoil with the owners going for a bitter divorce battle. the commissioner bud selig said he will appoint someone to take over day-to-day operations in the next couple days. they needed a $30 million loan from fox tv just to meet payroll. >> the 49ers opened their door. they put out a team on the field for practice featuring bay area college players hoping to be drafted. it's the first group jim harbaugh has been able to coach. the nfl in the midst of a lockout. many worked out. the 49ers will pick seventh overall in next week's draft. given the uncertainty of a lockout, the team got a chance to check out some potential free agent signings. >> hopefully some players and guys that are 49ers, you know, guys we can put a sticker on and say that's a 49er and be able to pull their name off on draft day. or sign as a free agent. >

my understanding was more like commissioner dejesus' was that to ensure it was within the law. did i most of the work along with ms. blitz, the unsung hero back there. she worked very hard on a set of revigs which i think helped, and these more recent ones are a minor tweak. and then we will vote on those. a thought we had a subcommittee to keep looking into better tweaks of the system. if we are going to empower subcommittees or groups, we should talk about that openly. i don't think that was the idea of this committee. i'm open to it, but we should talk about that if we're going to empower the three of us to do that. i would suggest at this point because we're going into the next agenda item, is that we agendize a thoughtful agenda. i think it is creeping beyond what the intention was. that's my suggestion. commissioner kingsley: commissioner hammer i think that's a good suggestion. i wanted this discussion to take place with the whole commission. but also i think it is important to have discussions with the most important commone -- components of this to find out what's work
