and that includes strategies between the narcotics unit and the respeculative district station, in this case, tenderloin and southern and soma, to make sure we are focused and coordinated through a series of by bus operations, by walk operations, flip beats, and the use of the mobile command mosted in the posted ine tenderloin district. and identifying chronic narcotics dealers, as well as misdemeanor chronic narcotics users. that strategy also is committed to working with other law enforcement partnerships and partners, including the sheriff's department, who you'll hear from today, the california highway patrol, the san francisco probation, juvenile probation, and the surrounding bay area departments, and the high intensity drug trafficking area, always known as hida, and as well as the u.s. attorney's office. lastly, i want to talk a little bit about environmental design, just from a broader context. o.e.w.d. was mentioned by the legislative analyst, and that is a part of our strategy as well. to go beyond traditional law enforcement measures and work with other city agencies, such a

they include a city-wide narcotics unit that conducts investigation and infiltration with regarding narcoticfficking and trafficking organizations. for police district-based operations, they include by bus operations, where officers go undercover and purchase illegal drugs in order to make arrests. they also have spotting operations, where officers are dedicated to observing drug deals and making arrests. and there is reactive policing, but the department was not able to quantify the costs as those are the daily activities of the officers. so based on the narcotics unit, and the spotting operations, the estimated known police department costs were $7,593,091. and we made an assumption that 68% of the costs were related to the arrests in the tenderloin, south market, and mid-market areas, based on the break down of arrests i discussed at a previous slide. the district attorney's costs -- 80.5% of the arrests resulted in charges filed. so that would be 601 arrests. of the 601 arrests with charges filed, about 46% are still pending. and about 28% resulted in convictions. 11.3% were dismissed, a

my name is tim fall vi, i oversee the narcotics unit, the traffic collision investigation unit and the burglary unit. i have a presentation here where i'm going to cover the crime statistics that were asked for. and i'll begin the power point now. it's not high enough. okay, so before we get into the different types of crimes, i wanted to give a brief description of the crime categories so we all understand what each -- the terms that are being used mean. i have here on the power point residential robbery. that is the taking of property by force or fear inside someone's home. and it's personal crime, because the victim is present and the property was under their control at the time it was taken. residential burglary is the unlawful entry into a room, house, apartment, any domicile where someone may live with the intent to commit a grand or petty larceny or to commit any other felony. so the next term down there is a hot prowl. this term isuationed quite a bit. a hot prowl is when a residential burglary occurs and any person from that residence is home. if anyone is in the building, it'

the cartels in central america and mexico, that money fuels their further efforts to export narcotics to the united states, as well as our export of firearms. 70% of the firearms recently confiscated in a raid in northern mexico of a drug cartel came from the united states gun shows. so in the name of our second amendment and not doing a background check, we are literally arming the drug cartels that are terrorizing the people in central america. we've got to put two and two together. we've expand third-country resettlement in mexico and other central american countries. we have to have in-country processing of refugees, and we have to eliminate the immigration court backlog. i'll be introducing legislation soon to achieve these goals. i'm willing to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to address this crisis at our border. mr. president, if there is no one else on the floor, i would like to ask permission to add another statement in the record at a separate place. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. durbin: thank you. mr. president, everyone knows that this sunday is mother

narcotics, economic security, and facilitation of lawful trade and travel. every day along our southwest border with mexico, over 535,000 travelers enter the united states through one of the 42 lawful border crossings. each day 215,000 privately owned vehicles, 450 commercial buses and 2100 commercial trucks and railcars arrive from mexico. each of these pathways presents differing levels of risk to our national security, our public safety and our economic prosperity. the volumes of crossing we see each day along our southern border ports of entry along with outdated and inadequate facilities presents clear operational challenges for field leadership. decisions must be made daily on how best to allocaternel, technology and financial resources to address the risk present in the uncertain environment. in recent months we have seen unprecedented and unsustainable trends in our daily operation that make it more difficult for officers to carry out priority missions. undocumented migrants sometimes traveling in grooms numbering in the hundreds are arriving at southwest border crossings seeking to make entry. the majority are family units and unaccompanied alien child
