they are, once again, work orders that we pay to other city departments, the city attorney, the department of together, the department of environmental, the a assessor's office. next slide. thanks. here are the expenditure details. so you can see them down to the temp salaries, retirement fringes, and we're at $87.5 million. and this is just giving you a detail of what those individual expenses are. so expenditure changes, so for our salaries and fringes -- this is our department's largest expenditure, and the reason for the increase that you see now is because of colas, and retirement health benefits are going up, and we'll probably see some changes at the next meeting because we're reviewing our positions and we're going to lower our attritions. once again, as we said before, we want to work on housing initiatives and code enforcements. currently we have a budget of about 300 positions, but the city has something walled attrition, and last you're our attrition was increased by the budget analyst, based on our vacancies. so we're going to propose to lower those at tritions so we'll be abl

s 2019 first amendment compliance audit of san francisco police department records pursuant to department general order 8.10. >> good evening. so we have this year so far, 82 cases have been opened up. as opposed to 69 the same time last year. we have an uptick in cases and increased caseloads. cases that have been closed this year, we closed 13 cases this year -- 133 cases this year. this time last year we closed 68 cases. cases sustained we are at 7 this year, this time last year we were at 10. for cases that are past the 90-day mark but not at the 3304 deadline, we have 32 cases. 14 of the cases have been told. this time last year we had 27 cases that were past the mark. cases mediated, we have seven cases. this time last year we were at three. i do have, and i'm going to come back to the 21 because i have an update on that. for the mediation, we talked about that. we've been really active this past month and weeks with our outreach. we participated this month in a group meeting at u.c. hastings with 100 other organizations talking about d.p.a. and the law. on february 7, we attended t

however, to have public statements and tweets made about the department, about people in the department, men and women here, about cases pending in the department and judges before whom we have cases make it impossible for me to do my job and to assure the courts and the prosecutors and the department we are doing our work with integrity. >> it is bad enough the justice department has become the place where truth has gone to die in recent years, where justice should be delivered. last night the president's former chief of staff praising the efforts of the deep state to undermine the president he was supposed to be serving, john kelly said alexander vi m vindman did what he was taught to do, not to follow in illegal order. he is twice wrong at least, nobody ordered him to do anything wrong and there was nothing illegal about the president's phone call to the president of ukraine and despite the president's acquittal last week the radical dems continued to crow about the possibility of another impeachment farce, new reports tonight indicate the fbi and justice department worked together t

the threat is not new to the department. in fact in the summer of 2019 the department began working on an established iran contingency plan, actions we could take to address threats, one we saw on the 2nd. we remain reed to initiate measures immediately if we need to. we took the extra step of issuing a national terrorism advisory system bulletin driven by a specific event and it was right. it was issued to both to and reassure the american public, state and local, private and public, the dhs is monitoring and preparing for any credible threat. as the intest bulletin mentions we remain vigilant of psyche cyber attacks. looking to the long term, it's china who remains most significant and persistent adversary. unlike others, they work to threaten the u.s.'s power and prominence from within the system using overt and covert means. it uses the openness of our society and institutions, academic, or silicon valley, to expand its ability to shape information in the chinese narrative abroad. beijing will continue to use overt legal

for the departments. we are one and the few -- one of the few in country that is doing it. they gave us a study on how the department safety culture is and what kind of information we can get from that to improve our programs. there is training at the national fire academy in maryland. there is a cancer study that is happening this week. it is a specific focus group of female firefighters, instructors and arson investigators who are the focus group that the study wanted to follow to see what the effects of our profession has. as we know, cancer has a high rate for us, what they want to focus on the groups that you will see enrolled in our department. here is our visit from toby which is the animal companion who came to visit. there was more tobe time than most people. support services, an update on station 35. this is the floating part of the station that was loaded into a ship and is on its way here. the wood has come -- it will arrive on january 28th. that is the plan for that. that is moving along well

the chief, maybe it can be agendized, does the department have a policy in place when a department itself will refer to the department of justice rather than our own district attorney. if we don't have a policy, i want to agendize that and maybe we should have a policy. >> the same question, that was the same question. so there is not a policy. i've spoken to the commission about this issue. i personally believe, professionally believe, actually that the department should be given the latitude to use whatever options are available to do its job. and i think overrestrictive or any policy that overrestricts that impacts our ability to do that. so i'm welcome to have the discussion in front of the full commission, but there are some serious concerns with the possibility of not giving the department the discretion to take a case to the federal government, federal authorities if it's fitting to do that and if it's appropriate to do that. >> right. so i would like to put that on the agenda when it is fitting and when it is appropriate, especially since you are not the prosecuting arm for you to

department. want to thank all of you, all of the captains, for your leadership in, i know what it is probably to your fellow employees, it may feel like you're shaking them down for a contribution but it is for a good cause. and your aggressiveness has led to not only the $1.2 million that ivor mentioned this past year, but over the past two years, over $2 million and contributions to programs that serve so many people in this city. so thank you for your service. and, also, i want to take this opportunity to present the combined charities campaign leadership award. this award is for someone that you all know and love, someone who has been spearheading the work of the combined charities campaign, someone who has made it their mission to make sure that we are supporting some incredible organizations, and that it does make a difference. this year's combined charities award-winner is linda young.

very clear rules on both the justice department's side and od the white house side.forced these rules in bot jobs that ies had. when i was a career lawyer in the justice department, we had very clearme guidelines that although we shared a certain information with the white rmhouse, we didn't tolera any political interference. when i was the legal adviser for the national security council in the first term of the bush administration, very clear rulei and needed to know certain information from the justice j department, you know, if they're investigating a foreign tleade we needed to know that, but the president did not interfere. this is a very clear line that the president does not interfere in criminal investigations. >> if criminal charges are brought against james comey and andrew mcoccabe i guess it woul come through a form of violation of national security, ty classification, things like this. what could the l charges look le if they came up with something? >> looks like at least for james comey, investigating him for leaks so unauthorized disclosures. these are

of the department. they weren't arguing cases for the white house in court. they weren't working in the civil rights division. they were just bringing regular cases forward. and now there's a fear that if they work on something that could catch the president's eye that it will be a problem for them in the future. and then lastly, there is a growing sense that maybe the attorney general, who many people in the department have long respected, might not have their backs. and we're seeing this in two ways. after the president said this about bob mueller, said that he was guilty of a chargeable offense, nobody from the department came out to defend him against that claim or to push back on the president. and then we've seen jessie liu, the former u.s. attorney in washington, d.c., essentially have another job taken away from her very mysteriously. we have reporting that when she was told her nomination would be pulled she was unable to get a straight answer as to why. and there's a sense, an unease that beca

that phrase, the department of justice, it doesn't exist in the text because there was not a department of justice for almost another century after the ratification. there was not an fbi. there were barely any federal crimes right around the time the constitution was adopted. it was the states that did all that. and that was the case for nearly the first 100 years of the country. the department of justice was created by statute after the civil war and over the years it's grown. when it was created there was no constitutional delineation or demarcation between the relationship between the president and this massive large law enforcement body that he started to run. it's interesting, the first mission of the doj was actually to bring the rule of law to the post-confederate south where local juries and investigators would not prosecute violent white terrorism. federal investigators did that. over the next 100 years between when it was created in the '70s and the 1970s, the department of justice gets very, very powerful. in 1908 the fbi is created. j. edgar hoover takes it over in 1924 and
