director of policy from the dpa. tonight is the night when sfpd and our agency has an opportunity to give you an overview of department work that we've been working on for the last two quarters. i wanted to briefly talk about our policy role quickly and get some highlights of that work. this is really more for the general public. we are mandated through the city charter to provide policy recommendations on a quartly basis so we provide them through this report and a quarterly report. when we finish investigative reports that's another time we provide findings and recommendations. for the highlights of what we've worked on, we put together a know your rights brochure we made recommendations for an mou between the district and police department. we made recommendations concerning consent searches and we worked on a manual so i'm going to go over those four-years. concerning know your rights brochure when we knew there was a change in state law concerning interrogations of youth and there was a city ordinance that lower

dpa's report will be limited to a brief description of dpa activities and announcements.ommission discussion will be limited to determining whether to calendar any of the issues raised for a future commission meeting. >> good evening. >> good evening >> i'm going to go through some of the updates i typically provide. i'm going to do the staff at the end because we have a presentation so we can talk about our presentation to go over some of the details that the commission asked me to talk about at this meeting. so our, in terms of the quarterly report, online we were talking about them at the next commission meeting but if people want to look at them ahead of time, the reason i'm talking about them is i've redone them to look similar to the annual report, so instead of just the data, there is interpreted analysis and charts so they are a lot more readable. you'll get the full presentation next week, but they are up there and up to date on the website in case people want to look at them. our mediations are going particularly well. we just did -- this is just a case note, on

>> other than the present -- all for the dpa? >> other than the presentation. i thought they were now. >> go for it. >> this is my director of mediation. >> good evening. president hirsch, fellow commissioners chief scott and director henderson thank you very much for inviting me and giving me this opportunity to talk about the mediation program. i'm going to start with an overview. and i understand that many of you are very familiar with mediation but just on the abundance of caution, i want to be courteous to the public and those of you who may not know as much about mediation. so to start off, mediation defined mediation defined is a what we like to call, a crucial conversation. it's an alternative to the investigative process. and as you probably know, it is voluntary. it cannot be undertaken unless you have both the complaint and the officer who have agreed to mediate. it is facilitated by two trained field mediators. and it provides a form where both parties can come together to discuss their particular issues. the program that we run is distinct and sepa

the dpa says that a worker violated rules i tossing the trays in garbage bins instead of shredding them. each one contained the patient's name, month, and day of birth, pleasant dietary information. this went on from june to november, nearly 12 patients have been notified on privacy breach. and, employees retrained on disposal procedures. >>> darren peck has a forecast and more rain has fallen. >> more rain and not just light rain, look at high-definition doppler over my shoulder. you will see a lot of orange. that tells you this is not a mist. this is a moderate rain coming down. enough that it will slow down the commute. i want to show you where you are most likely to experience that. you are looking at the last two hours as the big band of rain approaches. stop it live clearly there's been an issue at the q along the forecast. what i want to do now is come into the city and were starting to see the leading edge of the band had across the golden gate bridge which sits right appear. in fact, let's come in for a closer look. yellow to orange is showing up for the city. is about across t

and you and i know it goes to close the homeownership gap and there are other benefits to the dpa, so i would wonder if we could reach some kind of accommodation that the data would back up any decision made by the department. i mean, let me ask you one of the first actions the trump administration took upon being sworn into office was to suspend the planned reduction in fha's annual premiums by 25 basis points. which would have saved the average borrower 500,000 first year alone and in response to cost from a lot of premium reduction to be of limited in light of the fha's improved financial help, secretary carson dated keep the rates as low as we can consistent with the loan since then secretary not only maintain a suspension on premium, he has proposed to arbitrarily increase the capital ratio far above what is statutorily required. secretary carson does he still stand by his original statement that he will keep premiums as low as possible to assist with the law? >> thank you mister chairman and in many ways i run a 1.4 trillion dollar corporation. i have to carefully monitor our ca

company rushes in the day after they are caught and say we want a dpa and we are willing to pay anything, i'm not saying we shouldn't wait to develop the case, but if a company is being held up on something that is unjust, you want to put the prosecutors through the ringer, that they actually have the evidence and can prove beyond a reasonable doubt rather than this is an extortion of the company. i'm is some of the ways trying to address it. there is a lot going on and i can't give this my undivided attention, but this is one of the reforms i would like to seep you'd -- see. >> you gave a speech a few weeks ago that attracted a lot of attention, where you talked about the centrality of religious liberty in the u.s., fathersory and founding and the traditional religious values and how important they are to a fully functioning, free democracy. you actually said traditional religious values are the target of organized destruction and you said that people are attacking traditional religious values, whether it is requiring catholic institutions to provide contraception to employees or lgbt r

. >> the dpa news agency said that heavy snow made for dangerous conditions and other avalanches in the alps today. how worried are authorities today and are they closed down some of the ski areas? >> that's exactly right. as conditions change, that's always the big worry, if a lot of heavy snow comes in, this slope was closed immediately after the accident happened. people we saw in the early videos skiing down on the slope but the direct area closed. at a different avalanche in austria, an unbelievable story of survival. a christmas miracle, the rescuers are calling it. a 26-year-old skier caught under an avalanche, survived for five hours in an air pocket and wearing a beacon and that's one of the many things that experts say if you go in the back country, be prepared so check the forecast. talk to local who is may know the ski conditions better than you and try to wear a beacon that will beep if you are, in fact, buried. >> i've covered stories of the rescue crews spoeecifically clained they're remarkable but those beacons are critical. thank you for that. >>> back stateside, presid

. >> did you think about the parallel between oil and dpas and gold and silver in the days of the colonizers when the spanish never did trade and they've just got to get the gold and silver and destroyed economies -- destroyed it because it inflated the economy. and it's doing the same thing as russia. they committed the old crime of going after, you know, subterranean minerals as opposed to developing a modern economy like the brits did and we did. >> right, and in the modern era the way you see this writ large is the resource. those countries no matter how repneumerative that resource supposedly is on paper it almost always makes your country more poor. it almost always hurts the rule of law. it almost always results in a worse society and your citizens end up worse off. even as the elites get rich and corrupt. that resource curse is an academic thing people have talked about for years. i think we should see russia as suffering from that sort of on its own terms, and i think that's part of how we got ourselves into their sights in 2016. >> there's so much of this book. i kept thinking abou

let alone the russians and also found out he told the russians he had just fired the fbi director the dpa before and he believed that would relieve the pressure on him over russia. we would only find out months and months later this year actually that at that meeting the president did something even more direct. we learned trump white house officials also locked up a record from that meeting, a memorandum of what happened in that meeting in the oval office and that memorandum indicated one of the things he told him that day in the oval office he was okay with russia having intervened in the 2016 election to help put in the white house. president trump told two senior officials in the 2017 oval office meeting he was, quote, unconcerned in moskow's interference. he was okay with it. he didn't mind that. the official white house record of that meeting which showed the president making those comments is another one of those records of the president's calls and meetings and behavior that has reportedly been locked up in some secure server or otherwise been isolated in some way to e restrict ac

and the problem with the -- i'm going to call it the occ because we're now dpa is that at that time that it was occ, records were not kept in a uniform fashion. what we have learned, is that records, sometimes, are attached to an officer's name. sometimes they're not. sometimes they're attached to the name of a specific case. sometimes they're not. so what we have done is we have developed a system in our office, three different systems that we check with respect to each officer to determine what records are responsive so that we can be thorough. one is the mold card which a employs to officers employed currently and that is based on our old data base. we will run the card and we will determine all cases that pertain to that officer. then we have to pull all of those cases. we only have cases from 2016 on on site. the rest of the cases are in storage. so we pull cases because from the card we can't tell if they're responsive to sb 1421 demands because the records were not kept in that fashion back then. so we can't look at a mold card and say oh, look, unnecessary force causing great bod
