mission as far as no contrarians, that we would be where we wanted to be, at least as commissioner dejesus said that night, as the first step. i know the copy i just passed out says final draft, but that is not true. this is now a general order in the san francisco police department. it fits in the first section of our policies and procedures as a governing, organizational structure and is now they're buying in late into every general order as we will do business going forward if we have not already been doing it. i really want to thank you for being there on it that wednesday in being heard. i think probably my highpoint of the evening was when that young women, probably in her late teens, early 20's, got up and claimed the line out of this general order as her own. she said i just want everybody to know, and i do not know which one it was, she read it, and she turned it around and said that is mine. i think with that, i know there are members here. i will not mention names, because i do not want to be disrespectful of somebody else. but the people behind me collaborated. i am sure people

i can assure you that, as commissioner dejesus said, it comes from the top-down.his is a monumental first step. this is no small measure to get a community policing general order. there probably many reasons across the country why no other general order, such as the one this commission will hopefully put into practice tonight, exists. because we are accountable to our department policy and a parent -- as a paramilitary organization. >> there have been a lot of meetings and a lot of work, and this stuff has to happen for the next steps to happen. but i just want to make sure we keep that in mind that us passing this tonight does not mean that this commission has accomplished community policing. it is just to the first step, and it lays out a lot of work that needs to be done by somebody. >> i would echo that. maybe somebody in charge of this can continue meeting with the community. do one day at a time. working on the manual in training has always been an issue. >> i have always wanted more training. i know there is training, but i want more and more. it is good ad
