so feedback from sfpd and the industry was really, really positive. as it was two years ago, and we're hopeful to do this annually as opposed to every other year, again, sort of staff time allows us to do these things. the fourth of july holiday came right on us after that happened so we haven't been able to get back together with command staff and some of the other people who helped us facilitate to talk about the outcomes but we hope that we will end up with some possible pieces of legislation to remedy some issues or policy directives that you might want to take up as new or, you know, consistent conditions and permits and other things like that. an issue that also came up that i think i'm going to pursue where we discussed the possibility of doing a night life summit or meetup but focusing it on neighborhood issues and industry as opposed to simply the safety summit because obviously a part of what we do here is interact with neighbors and industry. also need assistance in doing that the best possible, so hopefully my neighborhood representatives

it's this moment that has sfpd watching an investigation. the officer appears to push the woman down on the pavement. >> when you see the snapshot. >> reporter: police commission president joe marshall says while it's hard to watch, it's also dangerous to place blame based on a video shot from above. >> it's disturbing. you don't like to see that. of course, you know, we don't know the circumstance of why. >> reporter: sfpd isn't telling us much about what happened. we know officers were responding to a call sunday afternoon. the involved did write in his report he used force. a notation that requires a review. he has turned in his badge and gun while the department investigates. >> he's not on patrol anymore. you know, probably the chief i know is going to look hard into it. >> reporter: this video will be part of the investigation. and tonight sfpd says that officer did immediately call for an ambulance and a supervisor. officers who know him tell me tonight he does not have a history of trouble. reporting live in san francisco, jean elie,

they were representing the sfpd, and there were two suspensions we recently did. at the end of 2009, we wanted to be clear that they are valuable. we have been able to use them in good order very quickly before they escalate and more violent potentially could happen. again, this is ongoing reporting. we expect it to be back in front of public safety in october, and what we did on july 21 for the tschida house restaurant karaoke lounge -- the china house restaurant. the owners and managers run a karaoke lounge. we issued them a seven-day suspension of their place of entertainment permits based on an extensive gun battle that happened minutes after they closed. it comes under entertainment. we imposed a new security plan. this was also attached to this memo. this is a brief note old permits forward to your note -- bringing old permits forward to you. again, this is something we just received. we sat down at the venue. we came up with a variety of ways, a security plan, which essentially becomes part of that permit. we said that by email and hand delivered to the man

commissioner mendoza: i am curious about the involvement of sfpd in the safe routes. i have heard that it has been a little challenging. these are the kinds of opportunities where we can be sure that the engagement level is where we wanted to be. can you share that with us? >> i will bring up the officer who is wearing multiple hats today. yes, the police department is going through multiple works. we originally got this grant in 2006, and the unit we were working with was the youth services unit that has now been restructured. we are trying to make do with the existing structure of the police department. we're trying to reach out to the district captain to work with of the schools that have been selected. some districts work with us and some have other priorities. we are trying very hard to be ready at the start of the school year to alert all the districts that there will be one or two districts that can participate. do have anything to add to that? >> this basically came about when the resources officers were decentralizing because we entered into an agreement wher

also, sfpd, each district has created a liaison. for example, there is one in southern. there is one in central. we are waiting to get the rest of the names, but so far, it has been great. it gives us a clear point and a little bit more direct contact. the permit officers are quite often working day ships. it is a great thing. it is very positive. the last day is about karaoke. karaoke was originally deemed as not meeting something. now, by the interpretation of the city attorney and the supervisors, they do have to have a place of entertainment, and there are a lot of karaoke bars and lounges, more than i think any of us could possibly imagine, so we have been working slowly and surely, but this is going to take time. those we have gotten to have been most cooperative, but there are places that are not. unfortunately, that may lead to enforcement against some of these, but we will keep the commission updated. -- out there, trying to get permited, i will say that every time i go, i find two others there. finally, i bring this up recently, doing the standard permit check,

sfpd -- they always follow through. let the entertainment commission police their own. let everyone do their jobs. in power them. it works. -- empower them. it works. >> good morning president chiu and esteemed members of the public safety committee. i'm vice-president of the california music association commission, a nonprofit association of a new orders, operators. a new orders, operators industry professionals, artists and fans dedicated to the preservation and in richmond of a state and fiber using culture committee. i'm also a co-founder of vintage 415. we own and operate five venues in san francisco. and here today to express support for this proposed legislation to expand the entertainment commission's authority to revoke permits a problem venues. thank you for introducing this very important legislation. the incidents of random violence outside or near san francisco's nightclubs are senseless and tragic. we must all pause and reflect on the cause of the consequence and violence with a fatal incident happens in our city. unfortunately, the 24-hour news cycle take

it's this moment that has sfpd launching an investigation. the officer appears to push the woman down on the pavement. >> we see the snapshot from above and it's disturbing to see, yeah. >> police commission president joe marshall says while it's hard to watch, it's also dangerous to place blame based on a video shot from above. >> it's disturbing. you don't like to see that. of course, we don't know the circumstances of why. >> reporter: sfpd isn't telling us much about what happened. we know officers were responding to a call sunday afternoon. the officer involved did write in his report he used force. a notation that requires a review. he has turned in his badge and gun while the department investigates. >> he's not on patrol anymore. you know, probably, the chief i know is going to look hard into it. >> reporter: this video will be part of the investigation. jean elle, nbc bay area news. >> the police department says that the officer immediately did call for an ambulance and a supervisor. officers who know him say he has not been in troub

working with sfpd last year, those issues were all but resolved. we were able -- sfpd was able to change some nighttime deployment and we were able to work with the management and neighbors all went well and those issues were pretty much taken care of. the club was then reclosed and remodeled and reopened as manor west. as manor west is open, we have yet to have any problems as far as what was going on with boss as far as control or crowd control or issues in the area. it's really come back to just pure sound. we've met with the owners of manor west once or twice in the field doing sound tests on the may 8, 2010 with sergeant yarmagucci from southern station who is here to talk on this issue. he and i were able to go into the residence, take some basic sound readings and look around and what we determined at that time is we believe that actually one or three of the sky lights were probably leaking sound that may have happened during the remodel. we met with management that night and told them that basically cover the sky lights, redo the soundproof

but there's a ballot in november to talk about community policing but yet sfpd has never given any input as far as community policing is concerned. i'm going to have captain lazar step up and talk about what we're doing. i'll add a couple of other points that are necessary and then take questions that you might have. supervisor mirkarimi: before this goes on, i'd like to respond to that. if you remember, this was a conversation before the june ballot. and leading up to the june ballot, i did talk to chief gas con about this, and this legislation. little has changed except the fact that we had honored, i think, the chief's concerns that at the time the draft legislation of the june ballot was leading the discussions. i also had a meet and confer with the police officers association. so if they're not talking with you and you're not talking with them, then you need to tie that up. so when i meet with the police officers association, i meet with their union president and their vice presidents to discuss this. we're absolutely doing our due diligence. what is missing in this conversation in

department for people outside san francisco is at an all-time high at about 76% of recruits coming into sfpd not living in san francisco or come from san francisco. it is almost as high with the fire department. when we look at the relationship, i think, between recruitment to our public safety sectors, and ask why there is not more, i think, hunting and recruiting of people locally, the answers are, i think, we would love to do so, but there's not much of a focused strategy to make that happen. unfortunately, as of the national downturn economically, we have now seen that the unemployment rate for 16 to 19 year-old literally is over 40%, the highest since world war ii. that is pretty much minute here in the city and county of san francisco. we also know that 1000 police officers and 500 firefighters will be retiring or could be retiring within the next five years. we would like to see -- there to be some strategy in place that helps, i think, replete the number of personnel that we may be losing, but also benefits in the fact that these are san franciscans who would really like to work for

are actually gathering here today and are present here in the room are ymca huckleberries program, sfpd, dcyf, and jpd. we are trying to create a one- stop center where we would actually provide youth academic and psychosocial assessments, and it would work closely with the district in order to be able to prevent some of the current attitude of continuously being truant. i wanted to invite someone who has been collaborating -- collaborating with us a lot more and taking initiative on a day-to-day basis. liz jackson is the person that has been one of the instrumental people that has been supporting some of the day-to-day work there at the center. >> thank you. good afternoon, commissioners, board of supervisors. i'm the executive director of program development with the ymca in san francisco and branch manager with urban development services ymca. first of all, let me thank you for your continued interest and support of the truancy assessment and referral center. we have been working since january to come up with a comprehensive strategy and plan and have actually begun to launch a pilot

to learn from our mistakes, and we plan on hiring more 21 and up the events focus on making calls sfpd, even though it might get on record, but it is better to have that on record before it reaches the point where it is out of control. >> doesn't seem unusual that we would be wrestling with the level of problems we are? or am i not hearing this correctly? >> i of looking at less than 10. -- am looking at 10. to say that we change our policy, and we are doing the best weekend with the best priorities. -- the best we can with the best priorities. >> we have about 400 venues, and we rarely have the history of recurring problems, so it has brought us to the point that forced the issue upon us, but it is following a long litany of problems that never seem to get resolved. now we are at a point of having to do substantial work by giving you concrete guidelines as to how you can operate if you were going to continue, so in answer to your question, it is a little odd for a venue of its size to be in a situation where we are having this many incidences coming to our attention. >> maybe if we ha

conference today, mayor gavin newsom spoke proudly of a budget plan not yet approved that will avoid sfpd lay-offs. that does than mean san francisco won't lose officers. by the year's end 78 will walk out of the door because of retirement or a host of other reasons. they don't have enough money to hire or fill the spots or teach another police academy class until the end of 2011. >> that is a significant number. we have other business models we hope will counteract some of that. >> reporter: richmond district station captain says losing officers by of attrition is tough but better because it's slower. that leaves time to prepare and reorganization. >> we'll keep doing and making san francisco safe. if we have to work harder, that's what the officers are doing. >> reporter: sfpd says the loss of those officers will not jeopardize the progress the department has made in crime reduction. traci grant, nbc bay area news. >> thank you. a bay area soldier was among four u.s. troops killed in afghanistan earlier this week. 21-year-old chase stanley died wednesday in southern afghanistan. the dep

greatest number of students reporting issues are in those neighborhoods and having information from sfpd and muni is really helpful. we all have resources about how we can best work together to address the issue. i hear about it so much from students, the safety back-and- forth. >> i think the other part of it is that the task force team has made many arrests, and that being said, the individuals riding the buses, they don't know who a police officer is. our perceived presence has gone up exponentially. >> i am interested in figuring out what we can do to have -- i don't want to criminalize bullying, for example. i was interested in this idea of having an adult or adults in general -- young adults or adults in general that does not have to derive from that level of enforcement. >> is zero tolerance means that somebody gets the rest of the time. the zero tolerance means that you address it. don't do that, you got it? we don't cite them every time, but we tell them that you can't stand there and drink the beer. what we started today, we're definitely on the right foot. they basically put t

. >>> and sfpd wants you to take a look at this woman. she is the suspect in two bank robberies last week. police say she walked in the banks, pointed a gun at the teller and demanded money. officers say she hit a bank of america on balboa street. she is described as latina, in her 30s, about 5'3" inches tall and 130 pounds. she has orange or red tinted hair. >>> other headlines around the bay area, a.c. transit is dealing with a third day of workers calling in sick creating delays for passengers. the agency says more than 200 drivers called in sick today. drivers are not happy apparently with a new contract imposed by ac transit after labor talks deadlocked. the union says there is no organized sick out happening. it says the workers are simply trying to adjust to what it calls extensive changes that created mass chaos for them. >>> oakland city council approved a plan to license up to four large marijuana production facilities. the companies will be allowed to grow and package medical pot and produce cannabis related items. the council

my desire would be to keep it with sfpd. supervisor mirkarimi: just before you came in my suggestion was that there would have to be, ifoo: it required communicationa bit of a hybrid relationship as there were so many other reasons to not dealing kit. as you talk about cost, the average tests were looking at about 9000 to 10,000 tests per year alternatively. what was submitted to the controller in their analysis for future crime lab usage was only 4000 tests per year. that is more than a 50% drop in the years literally previously, how would they amputate? >> in terms of testing the narcotics evidence, even if it had gone through the final state, we would test everything. where the officers after being trained are allowed to take test kits and take narcotics into the field to test of it was positive for cocaine, marijuana and so forth. it would go to rein in based on that presumptive testing. the comptroller's office looked at the average of how many tests we would do each year if we were testing every single item that did no

the sfpd is confirming it will hire civilian officers to add to its force. the pilot program calls for hiring 15 full-time civilians to respond to nonviolent crimes. the department admits it will be cheaper to hire civilians but insists it's not all about the money. >> the program is intended to reduce the workload of the patrol officers so that the officers can respond to other higher priority crimes. >> the civilian officers will be trained and could be on the street by the middle of next year. the city will begin choosing civilians in january. >> a bay area man has decided to take his pot on the road. matt lucero and eight of his employees are delivering cannabis to patients' homes. he decided to go to mobile because he had to close his home in sunny valley due to possible criminal prosecution. he said he's not giving up. >> we'll continue giving medicine to these folks regardless. we will eventually find a place. we know there will be brave enough landlords to allow us to operate in san jose. >> lu sara is on the november ballot for the mountain view cit

i am sorry it took an sfpd officer being wounded to have this considered. thank you. >> thank you. >> good evening. my name is kelly gardner, and i also live across the street from el rincon. i am also asking for you to consider to revoke on suspend the permit. i was sleeping when the gunfire happened on july 19th. the gunman shot the police officer. the gunman was actually a few feet from my bedroom window when that happened, so i certainly heard it and woke up. when i moved into this neighborhood, i moved from the suburbs into the city. one of the big things was all the amenities and wonderful things in the city. the neighbors that i have are really wonderful, and that actually is still true except for this one situation that causes a lot of fear for myself and other residents. even just walking from bart, walking to other establishments in the neighborhood, having to walk by that to get home is very concerning, as well as our homes and vehicles, as others have said. so there have been -- in the years i have lived there, which has been six years, there ha

here at the coalition we are interested in the sfpd targeting enforcement to make the streets safer for everyone. >> reporter: cyclists enjoy all the rights and responsibilities of people driving cars. obeying signs, not driving drunk. >> we're not cars. we don't have motors. i think we should have a separate set of laws for cyclists as opposed to the same laws for everybody. the same rules shouldn't apply. >> there's a light in san francisco that i've been discussing where if i arrive at the light, the light won't change for me. it will change for a car but it will actually not change for me and i have to run the red in order to cross the intersection. >> reporter: cbs 5. >>> and checking headlines around the bay area tonight. an armed gunman stormed into children's hospital in oakland earlier this evening and took a nurse hostage. he held the employee for about three minutes in the emergency room area and then put the gun down when police arrived. nobody was hurt. the man is being held for a psychiatric evaluation. >>> tonight activists unhappy with the response to the gulf oil spill

things are, and i know we have commander crenshaw from the police department, the point person from sfpd in reviewing and addressing both proactively and actively various complaints that have come up. i would like them to discuss the latest report and for us to talk about the report as a committee before we speak to other items that we've got today. >> thank you, supervisors. i'm here on behalf of the entertainment commission. bob davis is usually before you, but he is out this summer. on personal leave. what i did was i gave you a lot of paperwork. i hope you had a chance to take a look at it, but there are two memos. i put them up. the first one is the databases you have asked us to provide regarding complaints, ongoing enclosed implants, notices of violation as well as our ongoing list of venues we have done various suspensions on, those are at the back of that. the memo also goes over two recent incidents where we had some violence outside nightclubs and with the entertainment commission did with the help of the police, obviously, to respond very quickly, and i can go over those if y

whether that is the sfpd giving them a parade permit, whether that is an interagency group that does road closure, all of which also have their own out reach and thoughts with a public to weigh in -- for the public to weigh in. on those, say, 5000 or so significant permits, there are a few things we do for all permits, and a few we do specifically for the significant ones. all permit applications are published on our website within a week, and you can track whether they have been approved, pending, all those kinds of things. the permits and reservations division does have a method by which they can track and monitor feedback about an event, so if there is a small run, and there's feedback about how that interacts with visitors or noise or those kind of things and log that because many of our events are year after year after year events, so based on the feedback from the community, we can then modified to permit the following year. so we keep track of that. as i said, many of our significant permits have interagency collaboration, but we also to notify people, even if there's just a p
