of the chief security officer. it's a very rigorous process, very detailed and thorough analysis of their background in suitability. once they come on board, the office of the chief security officer dhs's also stood up a program. i don't know the exact name of it but is basically a continuous monitoring program. so that individual, let's take me for exit for instance. if tonight i was arrested for some reason, that continuous monitoring program would, the office of the chief security officer would know about that moral. and then he would take action on it based on whatever that circumstance of the arrest was. so it is our goal to make sure that the people we are not involved in any d b etivity and excavating. we hire large mat of veterans. 80% of our law enforcement officers are veterans. i'm a veteran like they are. but the process of the office of the two security of schools to do that, that back on investigation on the perspective employee and their unions monitoring of the employees activity is really helping u

to have officers like officer smith willing to go into our communities and work with young men of color, particularly african american young men, to give them positive role models, give them opportunities academically and socially, and also giving them a positive resource, somebody they can talk to as you sort of navigate your experiences in the city of oakland. >> with that long history, what motivated you to become a police officer? >> my motivation for becoming a police officer is really rooted in a care for my community. i grew up seeing a lot of tragic things happen in my community. my family had our own tragic experience with the loss of my brother when i was young, him being killed. i wanted to serve my community. i wanted to put a different face on law enforcement in the city of oakland. that was my passion, to be a different kind of police officer, be a part of a cultural change in a police department that had a tremendously marred history. >> north cross is the founder. >> yes. >> tell us about his motivation. >> i call him dr. northcross because when you listen to him speak,

me and one of your other officers was on bike patrol and he put up his microphone and said officer, do you need backup? i thought at that moment, whatever is going on, there has been some improvement in morale that people can once again have a little moment of fun. as i told your officers, they are the ones who are on the front lines every day for our safety. your efforts have paid off. the department met its goal to hire 280 officers this year. it is on track to do the same next year. your work to recruit more officers has been integral to reopening the capitol. the capitol visitor center reopen about seven months ago. just last week, another entrance opened. we know it has been long in coming, but we understand your plan to ensure our safety and slowly but surely open up some of these areas. so there has been significant progress, but there is much more to do. i know you know that one of those goals is to confront the dramatic rise in threats targeting members of congress. the department has open to field offices to counter these threats , but more must be done. i know you have pr

there is a officer continue on? or does the officer continue to investigate and do a safety check on the person? you know, that's a issue that somebody comes up behind them and crashes right into the person. suppose there is people that are-have i guess mental issues, 5150. do the officers try to stop that person or he's walking in the middle of the street. i am sure you have seen it before where people are just walking in the traffic. does the officer stop and that is something we have to look at. another one is, if there is a assault on a senior or assault and battery on a senior, which is not a felony or it is a fight breaking out, does the stop that event or that attack? as you know many seniors in our community and chinatown and bayview ingle side have been having these issues so their concern is safety too as well. i just want to open to them to hear it so they don't come back later and say these guys they were attacked and the police didn't stop them. i'm sure dpa will get the reports as officers didn't do th

tell me, how many officers do you have? chief manger: we have right now about 1970 officers. as we speak we have 219 recruits in some level of training, whether we just brought them on a week ago to the ones that are just about to graduate. so we've got 219 recruits in the pipelines, which i think sets us up very well. and we will continue to work on our hiring and recruiting and hiring initiatives so that we keep those that pipeline full so that we can meet our goal of hiring those 280 officers per year for the next couple of years. >> and how many officers have you brought in in the year and a half that you've been the chief ? chief manger: close to 200. when you couple that with the attrition, in fact, the last time i was in front of this committee, we had we have now 100 more officers than we had then. >> how's the addition of the contract employees go for the jobs you've been able to assign to someone who wasn't a sworn and totally prepared officer? chief manger: so that that i think has gone very well. the key there is to identify the posts that there that it would be s

office, 18%. and it's hard to get a person of color to get elected to statewide office, it just is. that's what the political science research says, it shouldn't be on people of color to hire people of color to top positions, but that's to me, i think, in doing the work and the research why there is such a difference. he think that mike and dr. moon could speak to the difference and the progress when there are senators and house members to say i want my office to be diverse and important to me personally. it's on members of congress to make this an important point for them and then that's where i think we'll see the most progress for sure. >> can i say one quick thing, so in the work that i do, i have my own philosophy and it helps people kind of understand the worse, diversity is dell gating our differences and inclusion is celebrating our differences and elevating our differences, and in-- that's level one on a dia model. we need to focus on inclusion and equity peace-- piece. and when you come

officers who worked under the ussr remained in the kgb of belarus.se people with experience became the core for the young belarusian special service. and today our counterintelligence is one of the most effective, of course, such results would not have been possible without the quality work of foreign intelligence. they were shocked. they realized that somewhere in some kind of miscalculation of the intelligence services of america occurred throughout the whole of belarus. they thought it was as easy to cope with those as it was with others. color revolutions and so on and achieve their strategic goal, yes, and then they stumbled. can't you see their facial expressions, the way they looked at each other. they realized that it would be categorically fruitless to continue such conversations with us . and this is the face of american diplomacy from the 2000s and the expression is not printed. in 2008, from asche of the us embassy and also fbi career officer kurt finley created in our country a spy network that was engaged in illegal collection of inform

three days a week or you have to be in the office four days per week. want instead is flexibility, where they are trusted, they know theirjob. don't managers perhaps have a point because they say, look we change things because of the pandemic but things are back to normal now, so come back to work like we used to before the pandemic. managers say, you need to be in three days a week or five days a week. it is real people who are saying that we want to be removed first. i think the second is that you can say that but depending on thejob, it might not be that easy to hire again. we are in a weird economy, for some jobs you can say yes come in, you need to be in five days a week or i will find someone else to replace you. some workers are irreplaceable. especially with a very tight labour market that we are seeing at the moment. so in a nutshell, managers, have to listen and compromise? they have to listen and compromise but employers also have to listen and compromise. we are in the uk, productivity is at an all—time low, you have people working in a sect

the presiding officer: we are. mr. shelby: i ask unanimous consent that the quorum call be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. shelby: madam president, today i come to the senate floor which will be probably one of my last times. perhaps not my last time, but close. and i want to start off by thanking the people of alabama, my home state. they put their trust in me for more than 50 years. it's more than i could ever wish for. and this has been truly here an experience of a lifetime, something i could have never dreamed. i came to the house, some of you know, 44 years ago and served 8 years as a democrat, coming from the state of alabama. i had a good run in the u.s. house, and i appreciate that. i'm grateful for that, but i always wanted to come over here to the u.s. senate. in 1986, i ran for the senate against the incumbent, jeremiah denton, a prominent here, a great war man, and i won that race by 6,854 votes. it was razor, razor thin, as you can imagine. in 1994 -- some of you were here --

officers are working in many overtime shifts, and non-officer employees including cooks, teachers, nurses, are being forced to fill in for correctional officers. we know this is the problem throughout our economy. it's one of the reasons, overall, i'd like to see training and apprenticeship programs, but also immigration reform. what steps are you taking to increase recruitment and employer retention rights as crests julie and -- >> thank you, senator. the staffing issues -- we've been working really hard to improve recruitment and retention, both recruitment bonuses and light of the current economy, and retention bonuses. we've also consulted with an outside firm who just concluded their work in recommendations around how we can better recruit, including how we market ourselves. in order to get people inside. plus, the issue around augmentation is one that is just incredibly important for me to touch on. it is something that is very useful during the short term, during the crisis, to be able to have those individuals ensure that those security posts are filled. the wear and tear that's o

the woman complained to both the council and the prosecutor's office. i have eyes on- well, apart from other things, to cry that why be indignant simply because of my character, i didn’t order a fighter, the local lift, the management company of the contractor’s firm, found through an auction in an interview, the public utilities assured, until the lift was put in order, the work would not be pay. no, this is unequivocal until we work. eh, because you need this equipment. we didn't have it in the company contractors just smile. in fact, the management company has already closed the deal and paid for the work, talking about some kind of acceptance by the council. this is so for averting the eyes of legal force do not have, but the lift. well , he eats. well, what is normal? well, what can mechanisms be done in accordance with the passport data, how to silence the car, when there is also a sound of a kettle, when lawyers who protect the rights of people with disabilities are working, outraged by the situation, the people’s front has already taken control

the office of the u.s. trade rep is clearly asserting that that office has power to establish carbon emissions policy for the u.s. and our trading partners. last time i checked even the epa doesn't have that authority. where does the ustr come up with this? there are also -- they're also abusing the conditionally delegated national security powers to enact this sweeping tariff policy which is the responsibility of congress. second is that the economic calm from this proposal is going to significantly compound the harm inflicted by the current 232 tariffs that are already in place. first, it will result in a regime of increasingly managed trade and steel and aluminum that will probably benefit a handful of select producers and a huge loss to everyone else. it will hit many of our allies with increased tariffs and that will result in retaliation against american exports. it will devastate american manufacturers and downstream users who rely on steel and aluminum inputs for their business. and most importantly

but gerald ford comes in office totally unprecedented.no present had resided for no present had ever resigned with an indictment or two hanging over his head. and president nixon left so many documents on the fourth floor of the executive office building that the secret service was afraid the floor would actually collapse. that's how many documents were left. in addition, there were, depends on the figures, about 880 reels of tape. most of them were bought at the then the equivalent of a cvs. were very flimsy and they were all gathered together, also in the executive office building. one day a moving van pulls up, and president ford had continued in office, president nixon's chief of staff, alexander haig, the i'm in charge guy of the reagan era. and the the president, and y his team, wondered what's going on, and they said stop, to the process of moving the materials to the president, the former presidents home in san clemente. and the asked the justice department who owns the papers. this matter was extremely important not just for hist

seeing the draft will be signed by both our city attorney office-i should say the city attorney office as well as general manager from sfpuc, for us will then require our general counsel to also sign as well for the mou? is there a section for her signature as well? >> good afternoon chair. i would be happy to sign off. usually if you have one side legal counsel signing it is good idea to have the other sign as well but the isn't a requirement with respect to that. >> no problem. i recommend we do actually include that section so we can actually have (inaudible) our own general counsel signature. great. with that, colleagues do you have any questions? would you like to make comments? if so please put your name in the roster. vice chair fielder. >> yeah. first off thank you officer pollack facilitating this and thank you to sfpuc for going along this journey with us. also want to thank the members of thepublic and community who weighed in throughout this process and have advocated for lots of things but really happy to see the natural gas decommissioning study in here and green public b

s office or a.g.'s office? >> d.a.'>> aside from the fact we call them by their initials, tell me about what it means to have somebody with that kind of experience in the new york attorney general's office coming into the d.a.'s office. people watching from outside new york don't necessarily know the difference between these offices. >> right, right, right. the d.a.'s office is primarily a prosecutorial office. it does criminal cases and the attorney general in new york primarily has responsibility for civil cases. it has some jurisdiction over criminal cases but less so. so the fact that he's coming over here probably does mean it's not because of his experience prosecuting cases, it's because of his experience supervising important major investigations, and particularly this investigation into the former president. >> and i think we generally think of civil cases, those of us who aren't lawyers, tend to think of civil cases as citizen a suing citizen b. in the case of the cases brought by the new york attorney general

— officers do you? i was crying out while — officers do you? underneath him. l officers do you? i was crying out while underneath him. i | out while underneath him. i used whatever strength i had to remove his arm from choking me. when i removed his hands, he pushed me, and ifell backwards onto someone else. the same officer grabbed my head and used his need to bash my head in, and broke my nose. from this point onwards, i lost consciousness.— this point onwards, i lost consciousness. the bbc has learnt kent _ consciousness. the bbc has learnt kent police _ consciousness. the bbc has learnt kent police is - learnt kent police is investigating ahmed's allegations, and the home office has started an internal investigation and have told the bbc that ahmed's story does not match their understanding of events. a home office spokesperson said... ahmed was released from manston on october 31. at the time, the management of the centre was under intense scrutiny. the weekly was released, the home secretary visited, arriving by military helicopter. that

officers are victims in the process of police reform. but the clear victims are not the officers. they are the black and brown community, who are the victims of bias, the victims of murder in some cases. so as you work on police reform, remember who the victims are and who the aggressors are. don't be fooled by scare mongering by the pla. remember that you are here not to help the police department but to protect the people of san francisco from the excesses of the police department. thank you. >> president elias that's the end of public comment. >> thank you sergeant before we go to the next item i'm going to, i would like to say a few words. from the beginning of the process, we always said that we want to pass an evidence base policy that both protects public safety and combats the series and unacceptable levels and problems of racial disparity in the city. we heard great feedback since opening this item up for debate last week. members of the public, elected officials, our fellow commissioners and others have flooded our emails, our phones, and have contacted us about this pro

the cincinnati police officer, or the louisville police officer, which was quoted in the cincinnati paper, spoke about her need for light accommodation. but those who are ultimately her boss would not give it to her, because she was not, quote, injured. they had a policy if you needed it on a doctor's order, you should, unless it was a doctor's order because of pregnancy. she was told if she sought to use that, she would lose her insurance. at five months pregnant, she'll lose her insurance. mr. president, i would argue the pro-life position is to make an accommodation for that woman who has those needs so she can safely carry the baby to term. by the way, it's also good for business. others endorsing this from the business sector, i'll give one -- the u.s. chamber of commerce. they clearly see that this is something which is a reasonable accommodation, not forced by unnamed bureaucrats in washington, d.c. upon people who are employing others across the nation. the u.s. chamber of commerce has made this a top priority. as regards the pro-life issue, let me also point out that the march of

of a officer. this is helpful and understanding the overall system and i'm excited to engage with you in this process further because i think these are practices that are tried and true all most in any field. bringing things to the attention of someone when there is a need to improve and it is helpful we know but when the alerts dont lead to performance improvement plans and sometimes the officers may not feel there is anything to improve, so i think it is all interconnected in one way shape or form. >> you hit the nail on the head. this program designed to identify indicators prior to the officer running into discipline issue. the department does spend a lot of effort and time and resources into trying to do exactly what you said. >> thank you commissioner yanez. sergeant. >> members of the public that like to make public comment regarding line item 10 the eis presentation, approach the podium or press star 3. >> there is no pubplic comment. >> great. >> thank you. have a great evening. >> line it
