commissioner dejesus. >> commissioner dejesus: i know i wanted to say, we're taking a long time, but we waited four or five months to have this scheduled. i know we may be taking a little longer, but it's our opportunity to have both of you here at the same time. i want to thank everybody here for being here because it's a complicated issue. what it comes down to is what commissioner hamasaki's talking about. if they refuse a one-night stay, they lose their belongings and their tents, and that's a high price to pay, especially with the winter we just had. so bear with us as we ask these questions. i'm sorry. >> i'm sorry, commissioners. e.m.s. captain. president and commissioners and chief, so this whole operation is done in a very thoughtful way, and we always try to offer those of our members that are living in the tents on the streets, we offer them emergency seven-day beds at the navigation centers. the navigation centers allow folks to bring their tents with them, to bring their belongings, to bring their partners, even their animals to come inside, to live inside, where we can

. >> commissioner dejesus: i just have two more questions. just bear with me. one of the things that we've learned from the homeless issues is there are people out there that have ptsd, people who cannot live in congreggate settings, who cannot be in close quarters with other people, so there's some people who have those issues. i guess i want to know what is being done for those that shelters are inappropriate, and how often does this alternative service occur in the field? >> yeah. that's a great question, because oftentimes, public health is at the table. if an officer encounters a situation where the person says look, officer, i would like to go to the shelter this evening, but i just don't want to be indoors, etc., that's communication that we immediately get back to public health on, person's name, information, way to contact them, where they normally are, and we try to make that public health warm handoff so we can figure out a way to fix that situation. >> so commissioners, i would just elaborate slightly and say we do have some beds with the hot team t

commissioner dejesus mentioned a working group with the department and some of the other partners. is that something you think would be helpful and you would be willing to participate in? >> i would be if it was taken seriously. my hesitation is two years ago there was a task force for the san francisco homeless advisory board can we were invited on. we met and there were some good meetings upfront. over the year 30% of the meetings were cancelled. another large number were changed last minute without our scheduling. it was about their scheduling. if this was a real partnership and not just going to be sort of, you know, a facade, yes. >> it was the san francisco police department advisory board. it was organized through the commander lazar before hsoc. if there was commission oversight, yes, i would be willing to participate and i know the coalition would be, too, from what we discussed already. >> if we have a say in ownership of, you know, everybody has got to buy in on this in the city. it is impacting policing so much that i do think that a working group might be a good idea h

i want to bring in our next questionnaire here with stephen dejesus, he's a student at columbia university and currently supports beto o'rourke. stephen, what is your question? >> thank you for being here, mayor. i went to high school just about 45 minutes away from marjorie sto stoneman douglas high school in parkland, florida and the days following the shooting i could sense the fear in my peers and teachers that such a thing could happen in our school so if you were president, how would you plan on implementing meaningful gun violence prevention policies to ensure no student and no educator has to fear for their life when they're going to school? >> yeah. so you understand that those students at parkland changed the entire way this country thinks. we have been told time and time again we could not defeat the nra. it became an article of faith that they had a stranglehold on washington and every state legislature and if there was any place where that was supposed to be true, it was florida. those parkland students, i wish they never experienced that tragedy, but they took that tragedy an

by the way, i did cover a story, the strange death of dejesus who was on suicide watch in a detentionity in arizona, and he did commit suicide. while he was on suicide, he swallowed his sock because that was the only way that he could do it because there's no place to hang anything. >> right. >> so there are a lot of questions, and people in prison understand this looks and sounds very, very fishy and we just getting preliminary reports from the prison. >> danny, you raised the question earlier in the hour about just all the questions that need to be asked. this is somebody who not only is high profile, who not only knew a lot of high profile people, that something just came out of court that name high-profile people, who was friends with the current president of the united states, who flew previous presidents of the united states around on his plane, who is alleged to have trafficked girls to a member of the royal family of britain. this is on the same level like a bill cosby. this is a famous person who is now in prison. he knows a lot about a lot of people, and as you said earlier,
