vice president marshall note -- marshall: i guess we can leave it there. i do not know how to a particular address that one. unless somebody else? moving to the second tier, i do not see -- brady 2. >> what this is referencing is that there was a bureau order that was last year to respond to the brady concerns. a lot of police departments do not have a brady policy, and we need to review the order, see how it is doing, and consider turning it into a department order, because the brady order is temporary, and we should probably have a more permanent brady policy. we are going to work on that. i do not think there was much work done. commissioner: and if i remember, the department wanted to see how the new was working, and then tweak it in the direction of a dgo. >> i do know that there has been at least one appealed and overturned create it is possible that we need to sort of recovery what is appropriate in the way of brady letters, and, again, the judge is so knowledgeable on these things, having been a prior supreme court justice that he is probably the b

vice president marshall. -- vice president marshall: that is fine. we all noted for these groups. nightclub violence? personally, i would not move that one, myself, but not everything can be on the top, so we have to make some decisions. commissioner: why do we not get something from the chief on that?

marshall, welcome back. nice to see you again. >> thank you, tom. >> tom: so with this kind of volatility, do you think common stocks are still appropriate for individual investors? >> i think they are appropriate, but clearly the uncertainties are almost unprecedented, economic uncertainties in this country, lack of political leadership and will to get things done, but, you know, there's an overlay, tom, that's disturbing, and that is the fact that we've got markets that are run amok an really create very, very high risk over the short term for investors. so special care really needs to be taken. >> with that in mind, is the current environment, our trading markets broken, should you invest only with a duration of say a couple years at least? >> people seem to be investing with a duration of an hour. i don't call it "duration," i think it's renting sciewrtsz of one kind of another. and part of this has to do with this high frequency rated tradig that's really exacerbated volatility to a degree that's unprec

vice president marshall: then we can take off. i would not mind taking it off completely, because we have had a presentation on it, and we have the ability to have a report on it. these are my thoughts. >> this is where i was kind of coming from in terms of systematically deciding which departments or programs or systems within the department that we would get systematically, and within that kind of approach, it would take one year, two years, however long, but something like this, and follow-up would come up within systematic review hi. that is what i would agree to take off. a priority for the next 12 months, but have that instead moved to something that we want to systematically lepidote, at some period of time. commission: after we take the action to follow through with their initial investigation and monitoring, then we can remove it. i really want us to finish our work and have a system to make sure this does not end up back in to higher priorities before we completely remove it. commissioner: you do not feel comfortable tha

vice president marshall: thank you. president mazzucco: any public comment regarding the ambassadors program? >> this is a quick comment. it is an excellent program. i probably will lead it. we live in a city with ambassadors from 185 countries. there is -- i was looking for some emblem that said which ambassador was from what district. like we have sfpd, they should have some badge on there so when someone sees them on the street, they are ambassadors and it is fine. but from what district are the ambassadors? -- are the ambassadors? they may want to add that or they may not. i will leave it at that. that is my comment. president mazzucco: thank you. it is a great program. it is great to see this and it started when the issues began to rise in the bay view and we had the incidents in the muni line. thanks to dr. marshall and bringing two communities together. an ever-changing community and what took place was great. thank you very much. >> thank you. vice president marshall: you do not have to stay if you do not want t
