back in january when we were all grappling with certain aspects of the discipline process, chief gascon indicated that there were aspects of our process that were come bersome as a whole for the department and for the parties involved as well. a few of us looked into revamping the discipline case as a whole. that's what this exploration is about. to check with o.c.c. department, p.o.a., and the city attorney, with the guidance of the city attorney around the entire discipline case process as opposed to what commissioner slaughter has been working on, which is specifically the procedures in the hearing for -- you know, by the commission. specifically. so there is some overlap here, but the revamping is larger than just the procedures themselves. commissioner dejesus: so i guess i wasn't here. i had my trial in january. are we talking about take the charter out of the commission's hands hands and turn it into commission officers? are we talking about that kind of thing? commissioner kingsley: i don't think -- at least the discussions i've had so far it is not leaning in the direction towa

i bring that to your attention sir because i saw gascon parade in this city with a limo with escorts and police cars with no police chief in the history of this city has done that. i have noticed when the president of the united states, mr. obama showed up on two occasions, i saw the biggest amada of police officers sawing the president. never saw that with george clinton, -- bill clinton and george bush. are there threats against his life or putting officers in overtime. this is part of his plan to create royalty in your office or his office and i think the budget has to put a stop to that. realize where this city is going, off the cliff financially and this commission should understand that starting now with the new chief. i thank you for your time. >> welcome back. >> good evening. i'm barry toronto. been a while since i have been here, but i thought it would be a good time because i have another meeting here this afternoon and i wanted to welcome the new chief. i think chief suhr, it's telling when the chief doesn't come with a whole bunch of bodyguards and shakes your hand right

george gascone announced the arrest of danny hoe of san francisco. he took $30,000 from a homeowner, abandoned the job before completing the work, then failed to pay his day workers. gascone and state officials say this case is a lesson for consumers. >> homeowners should know that they have rights and employees that work for this contractor should know that they also have rights to be compensated. >> when you're hiring somebody to come into your house to do any kind of work, any job more than $500 in labor and materials, they are required to have a contractor's license. >> ho was arraigned today and is now being held on $300,000 bail. >>> rumors are swirling that facebook is launching a facebooking network sight in china. they say they just signed an agreement with a chinese search engine. facebook has not yet confirmed this news. facebook is currently blocked in china. >>> the department of energy is giving cal and stanford $25 million to developer, less expensive solar power systems. the universities have created a research team to develop and tes

when chief gascon came in, it shot up by about 400 people.o not know what his priorities will be with the direction he will be receiving, but typically after a new chief of police comes in, our population does tend to go up. that is mainly a historical operation. on the far right hand of that chart, there is a red line. it may not appear red. this is a projection based on the governor's realignment proposals, and this has been discussed by this committee, but most dramatically, the governor's realignment proposal, which has been signed into law, what it would dictate is that people resentenced -- who are sentenced to state prison for nonviolent, nonsexual, and non serious as defined will not go to state prison. they will go to local county jails. we are transferring people for the crimes that would remain in san francisco. some people who are charged with essentially drug offenses to be served up to a seven-year term, and it is not clear if someone would get at seven-year jail term the maximum amount of time was one year. so we are going to s

. >> reporter: district attorney gascon and many of those people who were part of that stabbing are inside celebrating life. >> each and every one of them is why i'm here. they saved my life. >> reporter: lauren cheller met with the people who helped save her life. back in may of 2007, cheller was inside this bakery when a man who has been mistakingly released shot her and several other people at the bakery. >> he's a genuine hero. >> there's nothing else i could do. there were ten or some people there. i can't imagine this person gets away and not apprehending. >> cheller is now in college. and she says that this is a way to remember the event. >> thomas was found guilty of attempted murder in a double stabbing. he was sentenced to 26 26 years in prison before he can go up for parol. >>> home sales were up last month. the median home price is now at $360,000. but year over year prices are down over 5%. mostly due to the number of forclosed properties. >>> mortgage rates edged up this week hovering just before 9%. the average interest rate on a 30 year fixed mortgage is now 4.1%. that is u

now he is the district attorney, gascon. he had an idea about a junior academy that would take san francisco eans and give them skills to get into the academy. you can make a great living as a police officer. the same notion with the fire department. these are careers you don't normally think about when you are in high school. you often are relegated to a path to go to a four-year university. that is not for everyone. there is an opportunity for everyone to work. that is the main point i am trying to drive home. when we talk about the issues, the one that stands out for me is education, economic and work force of the element, stimulating the local economy. we have the third street merchant corridor and an opportunity to revitalize what i consider to be the main artery of the bayview district, of the southeast quarter. third street is a pretty long streak. from at&t park, it goes all the way to candlestick park. there is a lot of opportunity. don't squander that. we wanted to be a healthy mix that reflects the cultural histor

chief gascon saw that there were some issues. i have contact with director sparked -- sparks' office, and i will address this with the chief, as well. other dgo's and police practices, which they addressed to the police commission, which i am sure you are aware, and then on another note, i will discuss the specifics, and as your calendar permits on april 27 or may 11, i would like to provide the third quarter statistical report, and that concludes my report. commissioner: i also want to comment on that. the middle eastern, muslim, pet and intelligence gathering, just what you're talking about. there are more issues, and they have asked for changes. i have had a meeting with the department and hopefully will have further meetings about making potential changes to those dgo's. there was also an issue about the joint terrorism task force and what is a memorandum, and at that meeting, we were told that we could not get that information. however, but the question we have is that the current memorandum be at the police department. ther

at this time, i would like to invite the chief of police, cheif gascon, to come up here and speak. >> thank you, everyone, for being here. this is a special moment in policing movie get to celebrate the incredible acts of bravery by the men and women in our department. before i say a few words about these incredible men and women sitting in the front, i want to thank their families. your support, day in and day out, or caring, companionship, your ability to talk to your loved ones as they are going through difficult times -- i was going to say men and women, but today we have just men. able to get through the incredible things that they see day in and day out, the things that they have to do to accomplish these things well. it is very special for me to honor you. this is a very arduous process. there was a great deal of review looking at your actions. for those of you who earned a medal of valor, or acts of courage were clearly above and beyond what we would expect of someone. you're not only exemplified the best at the san francisco police department can offer, but you offer the best

they cannot discuss it with us because george gascon had not gone over the changes. we did bring up the joint terrorism task force. we did ask a member. we were told that would not be released. i was told even as a member of the commission that we do not have clearance to know the information. one of the other things of concern to me is that apparently the president reads them and signed off every six months. we only get the cryptic report. i am concerned. each commissioner has a duty to the citizens and department to understand what is going on and whether policies are being met or violated. when we get the audit, i cannot tell. we have a duty for each commissioner to know. i agree that transparency in the audit should be provided. i understand safety is an issue. the other reports used to be much more detailed than what we have been getting in the last year or so. another thing that i think is a no-brainer is that we want to add actual or perceived citizenship status, religion, or creed. that is one of the changes. [tone!] we want to add religion, place of worship.

san francisco district attorney george gascon was the one who put suhr in charge of one of the toughest neighborhoods where he is credited with cutting the homicide rate in half. >> he has proven to me. when i assigned him to the bay view, that he has the capacity to balance community needs, crime reduction and employ morale all at the same time. and at the end of the day that's what we need. >> reporter: but his appointment is not without controversy. he was indicted for conspireing to obstructing justice, three cops allegedly beat up two men for their mexican takeout. >> it's not how many times you get knocked down it's how many times you get back up, right? and greg's been a cop for over 30 years. he knows how to get up. >> reporter: the charges were dismissed. suhr says he's learned many lessons over the years and grateful because they've all led him to today. >> the path you go on is preordained, i believe, and i wouldn't be here if i didn't go through what i went through. >> reporter: with ed lee being the interim mayor and the police chief being an appointed position, it could be

with the mayor in the fillmore, talking about truancy, talking about public safety, talking with da gascon, and we want to get down to brass tacks issues, not as public safety, but the root causes of job placement, giving our youth something to aspire to, giving an adult something they can turn to, being able to reach out. that is what tonight is part of. it is not just but district 5, but citywide. we are facing the fifth year. there is a chronic budget deficit, or fourth year. it feels like the fourth year. we have navigated the budget in previous years. the difference in those years, there it is federal and state help. those deficits were considerably more than the local deficit we are facing now. the difference is that safety net that we would sometimes depend on from the federal and state government is not there now. san francisco is very much on its own. i have a hope and confidence that san francisco, for the partnership of the mayor's office and the departments and the board of supervisors, is able to navigate effectively this budget season, and also to balance the deficit, but not
