here's fundamentally how hsoc was developed. it was really to create an efficiency in how we were responding to the thousands of calls that we were getting to address some of those issues that you mentioned. you don't -- i'm not disagreeing that some of these calls could be better handled by other entities, but even now, those entities don't respond to those calls 24 hours a day seven days a week because those entities don't exist 24 hours a day seven days a week. so when we created hsoc, it was really meant to be more efficient because so many of our calls that were going to patrol districts, like, 25% of our patrol-related calls were related to some associations with street conditions, homelessness, those type of things, and some of them were criminal activity. some of them were not: welfare checks, wellness checks, those kinds of things. we wanted to take some of that away from district stations because number one, the district stations were having to answer to higher priority calls, and it just pushes those types of calls lo

. >> chair: so i think that if we were to say to cut half of the hsoc team that would allow the police department to put half of their time that is normally at asoc at normal patrols at the station and the same thing with homeless outreach and the same thing with the mounted. do you see what i'm saying? unless you're asking this committee to approve layoffs of police officers of those units. >> i'm saying that i want to reduce the police budget by that amount under that justification and then the chief will decide how to deal with the difference. , if that makes sense. i know we don't get to choose how to -- we get to cut money from their budget and the chief gets to decide how to deal with his budget based on those cuts. that's the extent of our power and so what i'm saying is i believe that we need to start weaning the city after th off tf police to dia deal with the unhd population and to be spending money on unhoused unit doesn't make any sense. the only way to impact that is by cutting the budget by an equivalent amount. the chief, then, gets to decide whether he agrees with me or

i would have cut all four academy classes and in addition, i would cut, you know, hsoc, hot team and mounted horses. so i have now made a compromise where i'm only cutting three classes and now you're asking me to make a further compromise to cut only 25% of the overtime budget and from what i've heard so far. >> chair: it's 50%. >> but putting 25% in reserve. >> chair: you can say no. >> i'll just say no. >> chair: you're saying no to the 25% reserve or 50% cut or all of it? >> i'm fine with 50% cut. >> chair: but none in reserve. is that correct? >> that's right. >> chair: supervisor mandelman, how are you feeling? >> i am not comfortable and won't get comfortable and you shouldn't try to get me comfortable with significant cuts in overtime, that it's just a flat-out cut and it is not leaving time for further conversation about kind of where that is coming out of and what it does do safety. this is more than what i'm comfortable with but my feelings will not be hurt. i understand i'm outnumbered and i think you should move on. >> chair: i am comfortable with supervisor yee's propos

hsoc can not help resolve encampments. do i wish we could pool all these resources and put them together to fight covid? yes. was the tenderloin a very diverse community that was neglectly being affected? y ye ye yes -- negatively being affected? yes. >> supervisor peskin: thank you. through president yee to you, one agency was suing another agency over a horrible situation that we're experiencing on our streets that you're trying to ameliorate. mr. president, i'd be happy to call on the city attorney, but i think the answer to my question is that the other public agency is probably not here this evening, and i understand that there's a settlement that has been presented to us by the city attorney which was the best settlement that we could get and that would produce the city's liability and as miss stuart kahn has described and has been implemented before our eyes. it would be helpful if we actually heard from the university of californ university of california hastings college of the law that filed that lawsuit. and i, f

a captain is on loan to the hsoc unit and incident commander for the resolution operations throughout the city. he is doing a great job. all of the personnel that we are thankful to you and the supervisors that gave us the money have been put to good use and we are doing a great job. this comes to street crisis response. what we see how things are different now and this is data from the san francisco police department crisis intervention team. in 2019 there were 21,000 calls for service for people -- that the police calls were 800, 801, 5150, 2100 calls for service the police responded to. 800 is for a mentality disturbed person who is suicidal. they may need placed on involuntary rehold. we are looking to enlane both calls so law enforcement does not have to be the primary of a behavioral crisis. there is no other agency or team except for the police. to get to 21,000 calls i it is going to take more than what is projected in the budget. we don't want you to be misled to think we are going to go through all of these calls the police department is on. hopefully we with get there event
