commissioner loftus? >> yes. okay. a couple of things. i just wanted to say one thing that i always appreciate about this presentation is that the occ is taking the lesson. so if any individual officer is making the mistake then there is the policy implication and what can we do to better train our officers. so there is an element of what we want. it's not just a matter of one officer did it wrong but it's also taking a look at the policy. one thing i also tend to think about when i hear this report is we hear the cases that were adjudicated in 1/4 and listening to them, this doesn't sound like san francisco's finest. it's not the worst that we have heard, during the same quarter, is a quarter three 3 months? i'm not a math person. how many calls per service? >> using last year, it was somewhere around 300,000 calls for service. around 75 thousand people arrested and around 8,000 citations given out a month. so you hear of 6-8 complaint sustained against those in usb that i just gave you that are contacts

commissioner loftus? >> i did bike to work from the outer sunset. it's the first time that i biked in a non-recreational way and being on the road. it reminds me

. >> commissioner loftus you are on the air. >> yeah, just a couple more points here. i am concerned director hicks, the last parts of your next steps, it concerns me because i know that we are out there seeking to recruit talent but with vacantcies which we cannot fill, and sometimes it is just disheartening and discouraging to people and we need to work. and we need the helping hands and so it is a little bit how is that brought down the pipeline? how that has an effect and probably very interested in this. and commissioner turman, and when we, post our job announcements, and the department, and we have and i must find the people to help to conduct the exam because we will be flooded because there is the talent, and there is the desire, and we need the budget, and we need to get our job announcement up, and but, yes the reality is that if i am hearing from the budget folks, you can't still position number 17, because you don't have the money there is, and there is nothing that i can do, except what i am doing with through the budget process, requesting the mayor's of

commissioner loftus? >> i would like to schedule in june the cit working group and invite vinny ing to talk about losing his sister. they said they would be ready. >> your call. take a look at the calendar. >> while i'm looking at that, inspector, ms. mahoney i have a same request about the dvdgo? >> that, we are still in discussions on that. i think you will also see that in the summer hopefully earlier. >> by october? dv awareness month. >> june 4 th or june 11th? >> why don't we do june 11th. thank you. >> anything else, commissioners? okay. hearing none it's now time for public comment with reference to line items 3abc and d. good evening ms. brown. i'm here regarding my son. he was murdered august 13, 2006 to , to a semi automatic gun. i would like to say his case number. his case no. 606862038. i'm only saying that because if anybody wanted to or know of anything that happened to my son, that's his case number. here are the names of all the guys that murdered my son. one of them is deceased. my son'

i'm sure the police commissioners would like to attend any of their events. >> commissioner loftus? a question, chief, i think i read today, your water bottle. i read today in the case of alma mull ak that that case was not charged by the district attorney's office. i certainly want to know what our take is on that? >> the alma lack case is very well publicized collision that occurred at

commissioner loftus? >> i bet that you can tell me what i am going to say, because i say the same thing. one, incredible job. great work putting this altogether and two, 18 months is just too long. and i am saying it to say it to you because you are here, and i would apologize in advance. but what it is bad for a couple of reasons and just for the people who are watching, on one hand, if a crime was committed cases don't get better, the best defense attorneys know that the more time that goes, the case does not get better, memory fade and evidence you know goes by the way side and people are less interested, if something bad did happen and there is a crime we want to hold that office

loftus? >> no. commissioner turman? >> just to be clear, i think that the approximately value of each box is $20. >> that is correct. cumulatively, it is more than $50. >> and the gift is a traditional sign of respect and acknowledged as friendship. >> yes. >> and then, the next matter on the calendar please read that one again?request for approval to accept donation of a laptop computer from the "hardly strictly bluegrass" organization for use by the richmond station, valued at $1907.48 . >> there is also a memo in your packet regarding that as you are well aware, the parley strictly blue grass festival is held in golden gate part and the richmond police station, i see the captain here this evening and they probably directly are responsible for making sure that event goes off without any glitches and there is a requested donation of this lap top for the police station to use given all of the time that effort they put into this, anything else that you would like to add captain? >> commissioners any questions regarding t

. >> as, commissioner loftus stated with the general order, it is an order by the chief. and so they have to adhere to the protocols within the order. and additionally while they are doing it, in the days where i have gone through the department there was not that much oversight of where the children were going and you could leave them with a neighbor and you don't know that neighbor's history. and so you better, be sure that this person is well taken care of and we don't know, and in dealing with the child protective services or the family and children's services and they are able to once we have connect with them, and tell us if this person i am leaving them with is a secure individual, that that child is going to be safe and that is basically what we are looking at and whoever we leave that child with, and on the days that i was on patrol and it was some of it is things where we had a responsible party en route and that sometimes is an older brother or sister but now you are actually going to take responsibility for that specific officer to make sure that kid is safe.

myself and director riskin and director and the mayor road in from glen park and commissioner loftusfarthest and supervisor tang and city assess or chiu. it was good. pala held their basketball tournament and monday night we did the traffic safety event along with oakland and san rafael. chief bishop was here from san rafael ptsd. pd and trying to deal with traffic safety. there is something about the search warrant, the location of the hels angels clubhouse a warrant related to aggravated assault that occurred on 14th street where three suspects and hell's angels identifiable wear assaulted a bar person and the person that went to the aid of the bartender. we were able to identify one of the suspects and that suspect was arrested this morning at the clubhouse and other evidence was gathered. there was original report that shots were fired, it was not the case. there was a flash bang that we use. nobody was injured, neither suspect nor police officer. finally next week is a big event here in the city for national law enforcement. the major city chiefs and resource form will be meetin

i'm sure the police commissioners would like to attend any of their events. >> commissioner loftus?> i just had a question, chief, i think i read today, your water bottle. i read today in the case of alma mull ak that that case was not charged by the district attorney's office. i certainly want to know what our take is on that? >> the alma lack case is very well publicized collision that occurred at 6th and folsom in which our initial investigation we missed a video camera that captured it. originally it was thought that the collision was the fault of ms. mull ak . that ended not being the case. we apologized for missing the video and we did get it right and we adjusted the report. it was a very good investigation as far as the completed factual analysis of exactly what occurred and the d. a. came back not believing that there is tlz any criminal case being made. a citation issued to the driver for the cause of that collision. >> okay. then i just wanted to say on the enforcement side, jor yorba boulevard there was a traffic accident and we have lights on there. looks like the city

director of walk san francisco and i want to thank you for taking the time and thank commissioner loftus and commissioner tturman and dejesus, and especially chief and the commander who have been wonderful partners. you know, we are really excited to stand here today with this resolution, and i think that it is really clear evidence that we are moving in the right direction this is a huge shift and in what we are seeing on the streets just as you were saying, more enforcement i walk down market street every day and it is incredible the number of people that i see. and pulled over for not turning right when they are supposed to. and you know the dangerous driving behaviors that we are seeing, and they are being enforced and we are really happy about that. and you know, this is important because we are having a crisis on our hands and we have a public health crisis that is preventable and so we have more people getting hit by cars, and involved in hotly and, three people getting hot by cars every day in san francisco, and we have had eleven traffic fatalities so far this year and 7 of whic

doubt, but i really credit you chief and the department and thank you, particularly commissioner loftus for being up front there and really i think showing the initiative that the city has been and the other departments have followed and we have really great momentum and obviously this is the beginning and an important and a first step and we support the resolution and i hope that you will support this today and work with you as partners going forward and i want to thank the chief and commander and all of the folks on the team for spending a lot of time with us and being transparent and probably taking far more calls from us. and we thank you for that. i do want to say though that i will be honest that i am surprised by the numbers here. first i am surprised that the quarterly report, and this is the first it is great that you are doing reports that is the most impressive thing. the intent and you are now following through with the updates and the status. but a lot of the issues and data that you are calling for and speaking of, were a data driven approach and in this resolution are not

is making loftus with more. when it comes to taxpayer money perhaps no wage and knows how to spend it quicker than the u.s. military the pentagon left to its own devices will spend money on anything over the past decade defense spending has claimed a bigger part of the federal budget with aggressions ramping up first in afghanistan and then iraq in fact the united states spends more money on defense than the next one trees combined president obama and congress set the military spending cap for twenty fifteen at four hundred ninety six billion dollars leaving plenty of room for all new top of the line equipment with all of that spending government watchdogs don't have to look hard to find waste weapons systems being sent over facilities being built that were needed the special inspector general for afghanistan and the special inspector general for iraq have identified at least one hundred billion dollars worth of wasteful spending senator tom coburn's annual government waste book highlighted some of the starkest

i like myself, commissioner wong and commissioner loftus, attended the police academy graduation last friday night and, we picked up 38 new officers, and i don't think that half of them are old enough to drive yet, but you know they are great and appreciative and there was one officer who was 53 years old and the youngest was 22 and it was impressive and i met with last wednesday, and i met with some of the folks from the ten dir loin and the sro and they raised the issues about and station transfer and is seems like we are in the budget season and the people are jockeying for positions and i think that the sheriff has offered to transport the prisoners and i explain to them that we do the policy procedure and that is operations and the chief is working on that issue there. and last but not least, this press release that went out today, about the arrest of the officers made, on market street, i don't think that the people realized the impact that they took four really bad players off of the street with three, really bad guns during broad daylight while it was daylight in that hour and
