. >> commissioner mazzucco: commissioner hamasaki? >> commissioner hamasaki: chief, a couple of follow up questions, and again, this may reflect my newness on the commission. why was this done late at night in the dark? >> two reasons. less of an impact on the community in terms of -- other than the noise. to do this type of operation, and then, this was learned from experience during previous occupy movements, during the daytime, it causes a much bigger distribution to the -- distraction to the community. we not only end up dealing with the encampment or the issue at hand, but you end up having to manage large crowds during the operation as well, so from a tactical standpoint, it's a lot safer to do that when you're not going to have those issues. we learned that here in san francisco and when i was in los angeles during the time of the occupy and other movements. we learned from our mistakes. doing these operations at an optimal time is really important to the success of the operation, and it's safer. >> commissioner hamasaki: and a

thank you. >> commissioner hamasaki? >> director henderson, in reviewing your annual report, i think one of the things that we've been focused on, we've been focused is the d.o.j. reform efforts. can you tell us a little bit how d.p.a. has been involved. you mentioned some d.g.o.'s, but beyond that, is d.p.a. working with the department, the cal d.o.j., to institute those reforms? >> we've been involved in the process from the very beginning. i think the recommendations that everyone is familiar with that have come from the d.o.j., more than a third of them involve my agency and the d.p.a., and so all throughout the process, we worked extremely closely. >> excuse me. director henderson, clyde, c e clyde, one more warning. go ahead. >> certainly. we've been working with the mayor's office, with the department itself, and all of the agencies that have been at the table. i won't say we haven't had a lot of contact with the a.g.'s office in their role, but we've been expecting and waiting for the opportunity to sit down with

commissioner hamasaki? >> thank you, commissioner mazzucco. just to follow up, in both of the experiences that commissioner elias discussed were very informative to me as a new commissioner. on the narcan issue, it essentially gives the officers an ability to save a life and do so, you know, in seconds. and one of the officers actually described surface tha may cause us to act or make mistakes or make judgments in a way that we don't want any of us to do and we don't want our officers to do, so i think it's a wonderful program. i also wanted to mention that i visited with the japantown task force, which is made up of merchants and leaders in the japantown community and had a chance to meet with them about their concerns in the japantown and fillmore area. they had a lot of wonderful things to say about the department but also some of the challenges that exist out there, and it was a real pleasure and an honor for me to go out there and hear from the leaders of that community. so it's been a busy month, even though we haven't been in meetings.

>> commissioner hamasaki: can you, commissioner mazzucco. i just wanted to follow up and let the public know there was an agendaized item tonight, item four, regarding the discussion on an addendum to the m.o.u. between the city, the department and cal d.o.j. i asked the vice president to take that item off the calendar. i had a chance to speak with a representative of the mayor's office, the cal d.o.j., hillard hines which is the consultant that's working on the d.o.j. reforms, and i had a nice conversation with the chief this afternoon, and we discussed basically strengthening the -- some of the language in the addendum, so we are going to put that back on calendar -- or the intention is to put that back on calendar on august 1, so that's why we're removing it from calendar tonight, but it will be addressed at the next meeting. >> commissioner mazzucco: thank you for explaining that. commissioners, anything further? okay. it's time for public comment. >> clerk: public comment on items 1(a) through (d). >> commissioner mazzucco: good evenin
