officer. they determine if there's a pattern of at-risk behaviour. if they determine there isn't one, they go over the alert with the officer themselves going over each item, each indicater and they send it back with a recommendation to close it. my office goes true the eis alerts to see if we agree with it. if we agree we'll close the alert and if not, we'll send it back and we ask that the captain of the station go through the alert themselves and open up an intervention on that officer. to the right, you'll see the associated factors. they are not tract and aim. it's something the sergeants administering the alerts to look through while going through alerts. on page 4, there's a break down of the types of alerts. so fourth quarter 2018, alerts by type, we had 95 alerts triggered from three uses of force and dpa in six months and 34 with five indicators of six or more and two are four dpe in a 12-month period and six for a total of 193. members receiving alerts, we had 137 members that recei

when people see officers and see motorcycle officers like supervisor fewer said the white hats they'll slow down and if they see foot beat officers they'll think twice before they snatch a purse. there's many anecdotes to tell and officers because they were there were able to stop a crime from happening or were able to make an arrest because they were there. when they see officers around engaging and doing their jobs the right way, there's a payoff there as well. >> commissioner: can you explain the decline in drug arrests? >> this year there's been a significant increase in drug sale arrest. the biggest concentration of drug sales on the street anyway are tenderloin and southern. south of market. this fiscal year we've had a significant increase in drug sale arrests. we've increased the size of our narcotics unit. the need is there. it's not the total solution. that pilot is going on. there's no substitute for enforcement because that's a complaint we get in this area is open-air drug use and sales we have to address. i think that controller's report was fiscal year if i'm not mistake

any reasonable officer would have had to conduct themselves as officer many. well you know statement of no confidence. ninety nine point nine percent bull whom i see was handled. i am. doing pretty good how do. you. think oh. i'm sorry funny thanks so much he happened to the. right on. the. good afternoon today i am announcing that all my few police department will commit to having all elise officers receive forty hours of crisis intervention team training by two thousand and seventeen. so. this is breaking news coming out of the st louis area greater is the release they have reached a decision whether to indict wilson in the shooting death of an r.c. major michael brown we said get out now smith. tell her that her that or that. man i just held up that guy with a gun you just keep him healthy. like you was set up for somebody who's also want to leave your job for doing the right. thing for money. and that. i feel like with. nothing wrong with his approach you know for myself i'm here because i want to sound back it was just as a family member. we were trying t

there are 15% white officers, 11% hispanic officers, 7% asian officers and 14% other. that's for supervisors. the see the break down on the right for 19% and you see the breakdown. wick languages it's two cantonese, two mandarin, two russian, 20 spanish. it doesn't mean we don't have others that speak languages but these are the officers certified as being translators for the police department. our four top concerns are violence and we focus on the hot spots meeting with our crime analyst unit to determine what areas have crimes that have peaked and then we work with the station in terms of my lieutenants the officers at lineup to come up with strategies how to address the crime that may arrive and work to reduce it with the community as well. other crimes would be focussed on our patrol areas. we have patrol officers assigned to sector cars each day that are out in the community managing a certain part of the district and they work in combination with the community, with the plain clothes and housing to address crimes that arise. and homelessness. we work diligently w

i am sending most of my office. they have allowed me to send all of the unpaid staff and interns to attend for free because they think it's important. but i would strongly encourage folks to come to get the information and participate if you want to come. >> is there a commissioner or commissioners who can commit or volunteer now? >> commissioner: i can do it. and i can throw -- >> i can. >> i can. i couldn't make the meeting on friday. they had a planning meeting on friday. i checked in with them and gave me this information. >> right. >> commissioner: i want to ask city attorney's office. are we limited? i don't think we're limited to three people attending something like that. >> no. you are not limited. but i do ask that the commission, if there is a quorum of commissioners there, that they do use common sense and disperse. >> right. >> and don't look at one another. >> a don't talk to each other. >> three of you can sit together. but the fourth shows up, he's got to sit on the other side. >> i will forward an e

defender's office. thank you, supervisor fewer, for calling this hearing and bringing attention to these issues, many of which impact our clients and we care about very deeply. so on february 24, two days after mr. adachi passed away, an investigator in our office, senior investigator jackson holland who's in the audience today went to the location where mr. adachi was located shortly before his death. and he made contact with a kron 4 news reporter who said a stringer was offering to sell mr. adachi's death report for $2500 a copy. kron could not afford to buy the copy but other news outlets could and did according to this kron 4 news reporter. she gave mr. holland a copy of her business card, and he informed myself, matt gonzalez, and the new public defender. and on march 4, our office provided a memo written by mr. holland to sfpd. on march 4, mr. holland asked me for a copy of the -- for the name of the reporter and i gave it to him. the report was released prematurely at best, and far more concerni

the office allocation is focussing just on the office portion of the project so whether it's an office project or a mixed use the allocation is just for the office. so to your question about whether or not there's favoritism given to mixed use or certain uses, there's nothing specifically within the criteria of prop m that caused that out. if the planning commission think that's an important aspect of it they have the prerogative to have that opinion and have that affect their vote. >> if there's a million square foot project and one third is hotel and one third residential and one third hotel i understand the one third of commercial comes out of the bucket but given it might serve other segments which may be beneficial for residents for obvious reasons, that might be attractive in the overall evaluation process? >> that's up to the planning commission but they could have that opinion, absolutely. that perspective is not automatically part of the property and review. it's not one of the criteria they have to consider but something they can consider. >> in the form of redevelopment area

i really owe a great debt of thanks to our w officer jumped on their brother officer immediately andd provi him aid. >> reporter: we're told the officer was transported here tos holy he was alert and conscious at the time but right now majorco erns for this officer who again is in critical condition, but we are told hecer' identity, police tell us we probably won't that until tomorrow. some of his family and co-workers are just now lea hing what haspened and they are asking the public obviously to nd healththe safety of this officer here at holy cross. pat, back to you. >> cory smith, thank you. remember to stay with news 4 for continuingoverage here on the nbc washington app. we'll be monitoring the officer's condition and we'll update you as we get more information. >>> l's turn now to t weather and this storm is o movingck in direction. it will affect our forecast for the next few days. >> the system already brought to the carolinas. this is video from the morning stmmute outside of charlotte. chief meteorolo doug kammerer is in our storm center with what it means for us. what does

.186 sworn officers have you. >> the 1,186 are full-time officers in the field. >> commissioner: so 137 is in addition to. so that puts us over the charter to put us 2,000 police officers when they graduate. >> yes, ma'am. >> commissioner: got it. there seems to be a discrepancy in the number of traffic training going through. the bureau report says 15 and you say 12. >> in may we hope to get one and eight through and we'll have another class at the end of the summer, hopefully. we plan to and another one. so two and 15 total by the end of the year. >> commissioner: so the ones you're putting through are the class coming in may is actually 12, is that correct? i think you're accounting for being able to pass the course? >> we may lose a few. we put more in than just like the academy. if we want eight we will put in 11 or 12. if we get everybody through, we can shorten or lessen the next class. we usually lose a few. >> commissioner: we thank you for that effort. i wanted to ask a little bit about the narcotics arrest and prosecutions. i just want to say i understand what you said but ho

most of our officers are doing right. this is a bigger issue than individual officer. some of these things that drive violence in communities, that drive gun violence in communities, go way beyond policing. we accept that as we deal with that. what we want to do as much as we can to make sure that bias and implicit bias doesn't drive this. officers get called to a call. the caller see what is they see and we have to go, and as we have seen on many news stories recently, some of the calls are driven by things that are biassed. and then we have to get there and make a professional determination of what we have and an objective determination, and that is what the training i think will help. i don't think there's an answer in talking to people that have ph.d.'s in this subject, they tell me that there is no perfect answer. there's a process, there's training, and then you have progress. but i don't think you're going to see -- i don't want to set that expectation that we're going to eliminate all the things that factor into this disparities and wealth, disparities in educa

with a police officer. i'm here today to ask you to support 8392 and to also ask you of two additional requests. history does not have to repeat itself. we have to acknowledge harm that's created when families are impacted by police violence. just recently, the park's commission approved a memorial on behalf of alex nieto on height's hill and i would encourage you to consider talking to the parks and rec commission to establish multiple memorials throughout this city, acknowledging the pain and returning safe space to the families that have lost loved ones. due to police violence. my second request of you, as you continue to advance on reform in this community is to directly involve the families of impacted families from police violence at the able to convene them in a body that provides meaningful oversight. they have the answers. uncle bobby at the table. >> thank you, next speaker. >> wo duffy. i recently reread the novel serpico which is 60 years ago and at that time patrolmen were expected to hold seve

an office allocation approval. for regional, state and federal office buildings, those do not have to come to the planning commission for authorization but must be taken out of the cap. we have to account for that by pulling the cap but it doesn't come before the planning commission for review. similar for report and redevelopment projects. they do not require the allocation and a lot of them come before for review but don't receive an allocation pursuant to prop m. but we have to account for the projects coming out of the caps at different types. the regional, state and federal office projects come out once construction commences. and then lastly, office buildings for the city and county of san francisco are completely exempt from the program. there's been considerations for office space in certain parts of the city including mission bay, hunters point and treasure island. additionally, back in 2016 which seems like so long ago now prop o passed. what that did was take the hunt ter -- hunter's bay and they're not

our plain clothes officers are actively working those projects with housing officers. the plain clothed officers in the bayview get more guns off the street than in any other part of the city and also assist our gang task force unit, our homicide unit and when we have acquisitions from other cities that come in to san francisco a lot of times their cases relate to the bayview. and that's why we have six. it's just based on the needs of the district. >> any other questions from commissioners? >> on page 9, the focus on the five and looking at 2017 at 40% and 2018, 28%. i'm trying to understand how to read that. >> it mean in 2017, 20% of the sites done were in the group on the focus of the five. the police depend's priority is on the lights, stop sign and failure to yield and failing to yield when make left turn. that's what the numbers represent. what i will say is if you look at the chart, you will see, yes, a lot of more tickets were written in 2017 but we've worked to correct that and why we have three officers assigned specifically to do traffic enforcement. i expe

no officer likes using deadly force. the men and women who go into policing do so because they're selfless and they want to be guardians and protectors of the community. they're willing to put their own personal safety ahead of the safety of the public. >> this is his criminal history. he's been charged with battery of a police officer, vandalism, assault with a deadly weapon and drug possession. fremont police chief pointed out that felch's mother has been extremely cooperative. devastated by the actions of her son and his death. is upset that the body cam and dashcam video of her son's death is being made public. the chief says that is, however, one of the unintended consequences of that new california law that requires police to release this footage within 45 days when it involves a death or an officer firing a gun. now, the alameda county district attorney's office is investigating as is standard in an officer-involved shooting death. the officers involved have been with fremont police for several years. alsop seven,

but montgomery county officer katie beard is especially vested in that office part.beard has done a lot of good work during her 1n years o the force. perhaps though none as rewarding as her current assignment. her dedication to her community is why one of her neighbors nominated her to be this week's "harris' hero." >> reporter: you could be looking at the next generation of montgomery county police officers here in this classroom. >> what do we use handcuffs for? to put the - to put on the bad guys, right? >> reporter: what officer katie beard really cares about is that these kids know they ve a friend who's a police officer. >> especially later in life when the kids start to go to really get into the peer pressure, they know that they have that one person that was alwayshere for them. >> reporter: this visit at drew elementary school is just one of three community events that ofpacer beard will particite in. heredication to the community is why michelle james nominated her to be a hero. >> her whole day is filled with this, but she's really a blessing to montgomery

request, what does the officer do, to officer x, have you used your phone for business purposes? what is the procedure for that? >> if there was a communication we can establish came from the officer's phone t request would be made for them to provide those communications if there is a p.r.a. request >> commissioner: i think they can make a p.r.a. request in general that doesn't need to be based on them actually having it, right? >> commissioner: they can request the documents related to and referenced to and reply on those individuals to be forthcoming, don't me? >> correct. it is a complicated question. it is a complicated question, but we have to because we can't invade privacy of personal devices. we have to rely on officers to be forthcoming unless there is a document or something or everyday that indicates that a personal device is used. we have been advised by the city attorney and given training on this very issue. we're hoping everybody is aware and the policy points it out that the purpose is the policy points it out where everybody understands that their personal cell

two or offic-- two other office responded and demanded he not reach for the gun, he did and the officers fired at the suspect. they deployed a k-9 to secure the man. provided medical aid to the man who was declared dead here on the scene. >> you know fremont is a safe community. we train our officers to go home ever night. and i will tell you, this was extremely unfortunate. we do not, i want you to understand this, we as an organization do not like to use deadly force. understand that. we train our officers with less lethal tools. we train in deescalation. this was an incident, you have to understand, where deadly force was appropriate. this individual tried to kill three fremont police officers, who were just trying to protect the community. >> reporter: here's video of the officer's squad carbeeing towed away. you can see a bullet hole. not sure if the vehicles was struck anywhere else. no officers were hurt, and they are not sure why he was firing on officers. the police department will release information over the next several days about the officers involved and any body cam or pol

is there a simulation that is done to test for and concern and perhaps officers or some officers may have implicit bias against people of color, black and hispanic. is there a simulation that sets up scenarios like that where you're tested against different races? i think it would be. is it something we have used? >> there are. a lot of that type of that simulation is done in research. stanford has done some and done in it research. we have been contacted by some of the institutions for that type of scenario and we don't have an agreement on that type of research yet, but it is out there, to answer your question. yes, it is out there and yeah. sometimes even with the tactical training where you have critical thinking scenario, it doesn't address implicit bias, but shoot, don't shoot with firearms qualifications and it does help somewhat to address that issue. the research is out there and that type of training is out there. i think it is an emerging area of law enforcement with good possibilities there. [please stand by] >> so those are things to tell the officers that you have to so

if the officer -- officer can safely exit without risk, they are to do so and can only use their weapon when it is necessary to prevent harm. it seems simple in conversation, and it appears to be fatal in practice to law enforcement to our objective wholeheartedly to this change. we support the change because this alone could change countless lives by finally giving law enforcement agencies the power to discipline or fire officers for unnecessary use of force. we know what happens if an officer is disciplined, the discipline is appealed and has a good chance of being overturned especially with unclear standards around use of force. either way, there is headache and usually great financial cost to a city for trying to enforce its policies. with ab 392, agencies are not only be empowered to discipline officers who misuse force, to be held accountable for failing to do so. the police accountability bill that passed last year, s.b. 1421 , gives communities access to disciplinary decisions regarding the use of force. this means that communities could, the for the first time determine whether

the officer had a change of heart.istrict attorney and asked prosecutors not to press charges, writing, crosby honestly thought he was doing the right thing by trying to find a safe place to park. >> one of the most hazardous things we do is just being on the side of the road. >> reporter: jim ebberson is the chief of the enforcement and planning division for the chp. in 1999 he was involved in a major accident during a traffic stop. >> then i heard the brakes coming and another truck hit my truck about 80 miles per hour. back injuries, a skull fracture to the back of my head. >> reporter: but he insists his officers who conduct roughly 2 million stops a year know how to do it safely. >> we plan where we're going to stop you. we know the freeways that we work and we plan to stop you in the safest location. >> the laws tell us never to stop on the freeway unless an officer is pulling us over. >> yes. >> what makes it safer that an officer is pulling me over? >> again, it's a planned situation so we're trying find the sa

gonzalez, the attorney and staff from our office, my colleagues and mentors from other offices and i want to acknowledge oscar and will, to people i learned world from in the county and members of the private bar. and most especially, my brilliant and fierce partner, my energetic and compassionate son, i'm so happy he is here today with his buddy and my god kids, vivian, and rowan. my mother and mother-in-law who are here, my father and sister who are here in spirit, my brother, and my beautiful extended family in the u.s. and in india. as we know, the work of the public defender's office has a significant impact on our community here in san francisco, and that impact is born from a commitment by every attorney and staff with whom we work, our purpose and drive that is greater than ourselves, that strives to create a stronger and more equitable society. a commitment that is both professional and personal. for me, that purpose began long before i was even born. my parents come from a small farming town in india, and most of the people in that village are not born into what is consider

shot at our officer struck his vehicle when 2 additional officers arrived to assist the initial officer, the suspect then while on the ground for auld and grabbed his gun pointed it at our 2 officers. then engaged instruction. i like you i we don't know at this point. we don't know exactly but i can tell you several rounds were fired. the i will tell you it was a handgun. >>so what i thought i saw there's a a body every car the side of the west side here. >>yeah that's a great question. so when our officer was fired upon the suspect was on the the side of civic when the when the when our officer made a u turn and deployed his rifle. at that point the suspect it actually ran across civic to where he was now on the west, the side of 7 which is why your point as no the officer the suspect fired while he was on the east side of civic do we know anything about this suspect any the generic description age locations point night this point but we will release that information as soon as we the officers. >>on the west correct the officers for shot when he deployed his rifle. i was how was while

in 2018, there were five sergeants and 20 motorcycle officers, and that increased by five officers in 2019. recently, the department announced that 15 officers joined a training class in may to provide more targeted enforcement that i mentioned before. narcotics arrests and prosecutions. so narcotics arrests are prosecuted by the general unit. there's not specifically a noorkts unit. the department stated in 2018, 5% of the incoming cases into misdemeanor were drugs related and 22% of the cases coming into the felony unit were drug related, and the department estimates it spends $22 million a year prosecuting drug cases. finally, our office is working on a report that will be reported at neighborhood safety and public services, and i'm going to bring dan now to talk about the jails. >> thank you, lemon. so we received a request by this committee in march to include a brief summary update on the county jails in our budget priority report. it is our understanding as chair fewer mentioned a few minutes ago that a hearing is scheduled for may 22. >> chair fewer: that's correct. and so i'm

the san francisco public defender's office is an incredible office. its mission is to make every single person feel that they have a voice and that they are represented no matter who they are aware they come from. there mission is critical to our city and the public defender's office and it feels this mission with passion. and dedicated staff members who work every day for our city to make sure that those in need have the best representation possible. as someone who growing up here watched so many friends and family members rely on the public defender's office, i take the responsibility of filling this position not just professionally, but personally as well. because the lawyers heading to court today are working with people from communities that i grew up with. they were so many qualified candidates that were interested in leading this department. people who have done great work, people who have fought both as members of the public defender's office and outside of it to protect some of our most vulnerable communities. ultimately, my job is to make a

so when we look at whether they're rookie officers, senior officers, i mean it's clear this officer was driving, was ambushed and thankfully had the training to not just protect himself, but to protect the community. >> the two other officers that pulled up, were they also on the east side of civic when they pulled up next to the -- when they pulled up next to the person. >> they were on the east side. >> the first officer also on the side after making the u turn. >> yes. >> how many shots do you think were fired? >> i'm not sure. it's safe to say several were fired. >> how many times why couldn't youwashi you offic> save him. there's a hospital right next door. how do you answer that? >> how i would answer that, how could you save someone that just tried to kill one of our officers, i mean, i understand what you're trying to say, but -- tcng - one thawod ask me why wouldn't we save someone that just shot at our officer and nearly killed him, i'm going to tell them we train our officers that if you are shot at, you have to protect -- not just yourself but the community, so it's hard to

no officer likes using deadly force. the men and women who go to policing do so because they are selfless and want to be guardians and protectors of the community. >> reporter: they spoke to the gunman's mother before releasing the video. she did not want released because she did not want him remember did not way. but police had to release the video to comply with transparency laws. >>> switching gears a huge night for bay area sports fan. >> live look at oracle park. giants taking on the yankees, first pitch coming up in a couple minutes. >> warriors tipped off in los angeles for game six against the clippers. 49ers introduce their new first round draft pick, nick posada and the san jose sharks continue their playoff run tonight. >> i don't think it was too major, his injury, but if he is not out there, hopefully we can still power through. >> reporter: what was it like to watch game seven? i'm not a hockey fan and i was freaked out out. >> we are freaking out. that's why we are here, honestly. we shouldn't be here, cou

just the work of some of our officers. about a year and a half ago we put together a city wide burglary unit, and part of the reason for reconstructing this burglary unit out of investigations bureau was to work on serial-type of crimes. here is a good example of the work they did. on september -- sorry, on march 22, they arrested an individual who they had been working on for a while. and he was booked for nine commercial burglaries that occurred through the central, southern, and richmond districts. he's also been identified in six additional burglary. one of the benefits of having a citywide unit structure like this is with the cross jurisdictional crimes t communication and coordination is much better. they can kind of step back and look at the bigger view, and we were struggling somewhat in that area before reinstituting this unit. also, another success with this unit on april 1, tenderloin spotted a stolen vehicle that was being driven by a wanted burglar on the 2200 block of market street. he was arrested and when t

pointed it at our officers in both officers fired at the suspect. striking him. >> the man died at the scene. the suspect who was killed is 30-year-old michael phelps junior. he is made threats to kill police officers and assaulted offices before. in november he pleaded no contest to resisting arrest and punching a bart police officer in fremont. after admitting to scratching the word pigs on police cars.>> not only has he made threats to do violence against police in the past. he might have tried to carry out such a threat in the past. >> reporter: an attorney representing the fremont officers involved in the shooting.>> it was clear that the suspect was intent on creating violence. and was never backing down from the confrontation.>> this was an incident where deadly force was appropriate. this individual tried to kill tree fremont police officers who were just trying to protect the community.>> reporter: they will release bodycam footage next week.>> we are extremely transparent. our goal is to truly continue to build trust within our community.>

also i want to thank the community for keeping our officers, especially t officer, and his family and friends and shift mates in thoughts and prayers, especially over the rest of the night. >> reporter: the chief said we will likely find that out tomorrow but we do know that the ily here ats have f the hospital, so at the very least, hoo e is surrounded by ld ones and w are hoping he pulls through. >> a lot of us are hoping right along with them. thank you, cory. >>> remember to stay with news 4 for continuing coverage here and on the nbc washington app. we'll be monitoring the officer's contion and we' update you with more information. >>> look at your storm team 4 ragr. it's starto light up there. some of you are starting to see some showers outht there r now. doug joins us from the storm center. that rain has already arrived. >> that rain arriving right now, jim. we're dealing with some cooler temperatures out there too. as a matter of fact, you can see what's happening on the radar picture. this is a cool rain. average temperatures 62 today. were nowhere near that. 47 d.c. 46 ocea
