the one difference, but it should have no impact, is the mou provides for depute physician -- deputization. that is important on a practical level because it gives those officers the authority to exercise federal powers. if what we are saying is they can do their jobs under local powers, under local standards, if what we're saying is they can and we want them and they can be effective, as we all want them to protect us from terrorism, by exercising san francisco powers, they don't need the deput ization. they said it is a huge win for combating terror giving the portland officers the same security clearance, the same level, the same access to information they need to do their job to keep us safe. the technical difference is they would not be deputized. i do not believe what you would be giving up, unless there are things going on that nobody knows about that they are not supposed to be doing. i am not suggesting that is the case. it seems it is the perfect win- win. the way to exercise it is notify them your during the transition period you have 60 days to talk about it and fix it. >> than

commission, the board of supervisors, and the police commission ensure that all officers, including those deputized, follow and comply with local and state privacy laws, including the sfpd's general order, which provides guidelines for officers to ensure the protection of first amendment rights in their investigation. soon afterwards, on march 1, supervisor mirkarimi introduced a resolution at the board of supervisors and encouraged relevant agencies to consider recommendations detailed in the report. the following month, the board of supervisors voted to endorse the report. about this time, the memorandums of understanding came to light and raised some additional concerns and questions, as identified by the chief and police commission chair mazzucco. questions were asked and the dialogue commenced. i look at tonight by no means as the end of a discussion. i think the dialogue has to continue. i think it will always continue, particularly in san francisco. the way a city like this can succeed and folks can work together to celebrity -- collaborative lee is a testament to the people who work here wh
