mrt, the uniform aspect of sfpd for muni. we also use the sft, they're also uniformed officers that supplement mrt. it's supported by a homeland security grant. we're going to provide data to sfpd for better strategy. we're also part of the d.a. to assure that prosecution for those who assault muni bus drivers, so they're prosecuted. we're trying to tell our operators, you don't have to get in a verbal confrontation with people who are refusing to pay or refusing to get off the bus. so we want to teach them how to talk to the customers in a way that it wasn't escalate the situation. this project begins next year. we also, two months ago, began distributing employee guidelines to all the operators. part of the guidelines are to remind them that the safety is far more important than the fare itself. and last but not least, we started a campaign to remind customers that operators are people, too. >> supervisor fewer: any questions, comments for mta? if not, i have some. i wanted to ask you about the slide on number 3. this is to

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 concerning was sold to the media. now, i appreciate that today, the commanders have stated that they acknowledge that this was -- this release was believed to be improper, but if it is true that this report was actually sold, it bears grave concerns, in the public defender's office, a concern for jeff's family, and his wife, who's here today -- and something that the public should be aware of -- is that the police report was in the hands of the media within hours of mr. adachi's death in a situation where the police themselves viewed the location as a possible crime scene and an ongoing investigation. the fact that this happened involving the elected public defender who had a history of battling the police, exposing misconduct, is all the more troubling. now, again, i want to say that i appreciate that the police department has stated today

and finally, the sfpd has increased the number of foot patrols since 2016. that is shown here. so this is a sort of three-year span. you see down at the total there were 49 foot beats in 2016 and it increased up to 144 as of march 2019, so that has also represented a significant increase in the ratio of foot beats across sector patrol. so we were asked to look into the language ability and racial and ethnic background of community ambassadors and also of foot patrol officers. according to the police department foot beats, assignments change based on several factors, and as a result, the department was not able to provide the racial ethnic background and the language capablities of the officers assigned to the foot beats. however, they provided information for the current team as of march 2019 and also for all ambassadors in 2019. there's a variety of languages spoken and racial and eight 234ik backgrounds in the ambassadors. moving onto gun violence. gun violence restraining orders is a court order that prohibits an individual from purchasing a gun or other relates -- like, amm

we believe it is the city's job and the sfpd should have the resources to investigate these crimes to completion. or at least we should be provided a reason why they can't be explained to us. and then a couple of us have other things to say. >> i'd to thank you guys for taking time out of your day to listen to our issues that impact almost daily. the construction industry has a problem recruiting and maintaining a workforce, with a dwindling middle class, construction-related fields are an amazing avenue for kids to better themselves. i volunteered years with the sf boys and girls club to introduce youth from underprivileged communities. these thefts threaten the ability to maintain and promote the industry. the construction industry has profited greatly from the tech boom and yet many contractors shy away from the city jobs and the local businesses are few and far between. contractors and their employees shouldn't have to lose sleep at night wondering if their tools and livelihood would be lost in the morning. imagine arriving to work to find out their office gutted completely, not e

and then, of course, sfpd and the dedicated beat officers in the safety zone. cleaning, the nonprofit partner operator is responsible for cleaning on the site, and then, we will partner with likely a different nonprofit to do the supplemental cleaning in the area. the department of homelessness and supportive housing with support of sfpd, hsoc, and all the contracted nonprofits will be responsible for the bimonthly reporting for the rampup phase and then the quarterly reporting for the first two years of the term. and i think that concludes our presentation. >> chair adams, if i might, i would like to introduce courtney mcdonald who's with supervisor haney's office. the supervisor is in a meeting of his own, but courtney would like to deliver some comments. >> good morning, director, president, and commissioners. my name is courtney mcdonald. these are supervisor haney's words. i first want to thank the commission, the department of homelessness, the mayor's office and d.p.w. and all of the residents here today who have participated in this process. i have join

sfpd say it happened around 4:30 a.m. they got a call about a robbery taking place at this ysl store. police dispatch tells officers on the scene that a suspect backed up a car into the store causing the window to shatter. we showed you the damage not too long ago. he proceeded to steal items from the store and hop back in his car and drove away from the scene. this first man says he works at a high-end store right across the street. here's what they're saying. >> it's an ongoing thing on this block in this city. i hope we can work something out with the community and not let this happen. this is just -- it affects the employees, it affects the community and it affects everybody. >> it's an epic brand so i can see, i guess, the extreme just because the value of the goods, i'm sure. i've never seen anything like it. >> this is the first time i've seen anything like this and all the way to the top. it's pretty terrible. >> reporter: take you guys back out here live to the scene following this morning's robbery. now the tota

also a big thanks to sfpd. they have the toughest job, and i appreciate the effort they're putting into broadway, so that's pretty incredible? i did receive feedback from sfpd, as well. unfortunately it's not super organized. it's from officer matthias. when i did speak with him on the phone, he said there was nothing -- as these were submitted, mind you, there was nothing of regard or concern for the entertainment commission to have to step in. and any of these incidents, they were super minor. so with that, you might want to hear an update from the permit holder, but from the central station, sergeant toomey is here to represent. >> well, let's hear from the permit holder. i think we've heard the nice comments. you can talk as long as you want. >> i'm robert palmer. i have nothing to add. >> thank you. so anything to add? >> just to add that as far as the conditions go, we're just asking for the time. all the other conditions, keeping the same, standard business practices of, you know, checking our decibel re

what is the sfpd's plan to address why these numbers are higher for men of color and use of force we have a road map to try to get to a better place and a better understanding and impact on the issue. commander ewings and captain ford will talk more about that. is the department keep a database showing the demographics of alleged victims? that we don't do. the calls as we know go into the department of emergency management and they don't keep a database of demographics. we don't have the capability to discern anything from that information because we don't keep that information. when using demographics as a benk -- benchmark there's a number of people of color subjected to force and arrested. one thing want to talk about is when we benchmark these numbers to the demographics of the actual calls, they're pretty close in line to the demographics of calls, in other words, when you look at the percentage of persons of color whether they be african americans, hispanics or asians, that the public that calls in are listed as subjects they're in line with the arrest numbers and use of force

this former sfpd employee should never have access to these records to begin with, and certainly this records should not be on public display for political reasons. it is reported this action was in violation of state law. i understand that it is not ordinary for anyone to have immediate access to police reports. i have actually heard that it can take a significant and sometimes frustrating amount of time to gain access to police reports from the public defender 's office, district attorney's office and even within the department. there are protections around privacy for a death case, sexual assault, or a case where there is a need to protect the victim, and for a death case, there is a significant restriction on who has access while the case is still under investigation. it is only the inspector who has access. even uniform officers cannot access this info. it was shocking with the ease and speed with which this police report about an active death case was released to the press. today i have asked the police department to present at this committee to address the following questions.

the next is about not hiring any more sfpd positions. criminalizing our communities and more police officers actually increases the jail population and doesn't make us safe. the third is to stop criminalizing homelessness. the fourth is to invest in care in communities, not jails. the three we want to highlight today are housing, education, mental health and substance treatment. last week's budget hearing, there was a resounding need for ongoing sources of funding. there is enough money in the sf budget, it just had to be shifted away from criminalization. so in this slide, we pulled out some numbers. one that i want to highlight is that the city budget around $6 million every year to the mta to fund fare evasion. and we know that fare evasion doesn't actually stop people from doing it. the criminalization of fare evasion. what we know is that if you put the $6 million away from funding the officers toward subsidizing bus -- muni bus fares, that would actually make our communities safer. in total, there are $66.5 million that we've highl

the sfpd officers are always engaged in the peace park programming, and we're happy to be a part of that thing on the agenda, on the report s the overtime update. we are 75% into the fiscal year and currently we are just at 3% over our general fund overtime budget. so put the mitigation efforts in place to make sure that we get to our budget by the end of the fiscal year. we have been under budget most of the year. we have two months to go, but almost 3% over. we have having one event that usual lu is prepared and is not going to impact the budget, but a big ticket item with the pride parade and the policing that goes along with that. that is the last big event that draws a lot of overtime for the year, but we are working hard to make sure we get this within budget by the end of the fiscal year. staffing, we are at sworn staffing and full duty f.t.e. at 1,886. which is just below our mandated levels of 1971. we have three academy classes and 264 and 265. 263 will graduate on may 24. 264 will graduate on july 26. and 265 will graduate on november 8. so we're looking forward to these offic

it may shed light on how the sfpd has handled probes into officers.tion when requested from the public. >>> safer streets have been the focus of our commitment to building a better bay area. in san jose the better bikeways project is expanding. the city is now adding protected bike lanes along meridian avenue. to get this done on street parking is going to be removed. we invite to you share your ideas and see what your neighbors think by joining our better bay area facebook group. >>> steph curry is taking on a new project. >> he is going to produce and star in an extreme miniature golf competition series, and it's called "holey moley." it's now in the works at our network. curry is the executive producer and will be in every single episode. the show will feature mini golf lovers in head-to-head competition. >> it sounds hill air yaus. i can't wait to see it. steph has revealed how he turned around a reset shooting slump . he got contact lenses. steph's been dealing with an eye issue his entire career and he didn't realize how bad it was getting. he t

little concerning for businesses that around here that just want to save space for their customers but sfpd says these are isolated incidents is and people should not be worried. the around a landmark destination in san francisco is seeing an uptick in violent crimes. the most recent was a friday night shooting just blocks from fisherman's wharf the victim survived, but the shooter is still on the loose is a crime happens around here the that coming over here and that's definitely is going every business in with the matter on as a manager at alli o toes i% restaurant, the establishment is just feet away from where a homeless man was stabbed to death in broad daylsght on march 20th for on says the crime is getting worse and worse and the city needs to do more about the problem right that the city's 2. a measure is that this this is gross they need to care. take care of the crime bill to get it some other area businesses say so far the violent crimes haven't been affecting their bottom line, tony affleck to me a supervisor at the international spy shop says concern visitors should think about

. >>> this is a big deal when it comes to sfpd. internal files are now being exposed. that means the actions of the police officers that have long been secret are starting to become public. and a new state law requires it, and sfpd began complying today. >> investigative reporter sackson vanderbeck i the files and what are you seeing so far? >> you're seeing a lot of, thousands of pages, so far, just in one case alone. that was an officer-involved shooting in which the officer was exonerated and was found to have acted in justification for the shooting. so that's a lot of pages right now. >> jackson, officer shootings are a big part of this, of course, but what other cases are being released here? >> it's not just officer-involved shootings. there is also sustained or proven allegations of sexual misconduct. and there's also cases involving officers who have been accused of lying and are found to have sustained allegations against them as well. >> the state law took effect january 1. it is now april. is this the a common delay of procedures? or why take so long there?

why does sfpd have a high percentage of others? 23.1%. and page seven of the smaller report. the executive report. so why is that so high? and can you tell us do the officers -- are they required to ask person's ethnicity or race? and if not, how do they gather that information? >> that -- the other -- if you look at the 2016-2017, 2018 report, 2016 you don't see american indian. you see in it 2017, 2018. and you also see -- you also see unknown, other and unknown in some of the reports. sometimes we don't know. sometimes people declare they are either don't declare a race or so sometimes there is no answer. officers under this 853 racial profiling act are now required to log perceived. it is what the officer perceives. but this data is i think a little bit more -- a lot more definitive in terms of 96a. >> i guess the question is, are you allowed to ask them their race or your perception and if you don't know your perception, that is where you are checking unknown or other? >> i think commander wallace probably can answer that better, but on the field interviews and all that,

an example of a very successful joint collaboration where maggie from our office collaborated with sfpd to identify 12 individuals that were associated with 60 home burglaries and brought a very successful case against them. there was $3 million in stolen property recovered. it was an exhaustive effort involving -- it is not the typical case, it requires us doing social network analysis, trying to understand social media, interest and people's modus operandi and connect cases that are not initially connected but it -- any questions? it doesn't seem to align with what the captain presented captain presented around residential burglaries by district, because i noticed for the terror about district for example, and what that captain presented was shown in a district that had among the highest numbers of incidence of residential burglaries, yet on your hotspot map, you did not appear to be the same, so i just wonder what that is. >> part of what will happen is the district as a whole may have a high number. they're not concentrated on one block or one neighborhood within the district. they

presentation of dpa's audit of sfpd use of force and director paul henderson is present from dpa. >> good evening, director henderson. >> good evening. my normal update, we have 138 cases are open at this point this year versus 112 which was at this point same time last year. in terms of cases closed, we are at 121 cases we've closed at this year versus 107 this time last year. in terms of cases pending, there are 295 cases pending versus 245 cases. these numbers are reflecting the spike in cases we've had recently. in terms of 17 cases sustained, we are at 17 cases sustained so far this year versus six this time last year. of the cases that are being told passed the 270 days, we are at 228. of that number, 19 toll an 19 td again, these are the cases this the pipeline for over 270 days. cases mediated, we are at four and we were also at four the same time last year. in terms of operationally, what's going on with the department, we are in the midst of our contract negotiations for the new case management system and we've been working on that for months. but i think it's nearing a clo

with respect to transparency, slide eight, this begins mentioning that is sfpd is committed to providing fair, consistent, and transparent services. i think the keywords here in this passage are proactive, fair, and consistent. and we certainly illustrate this by implementing strategies with fair, impartial, and the police-community relationship is critical to how we do business and the last bullet there, identified that we are promoting citizens input, complaints, as well as inquiries. with respect to slide eight, our presence here today as an organization is actually a testament to our commitment to transparency. and in support of that assertion, i offer the following. the department previously partnered with then supervisor cohen's office to craft 908 legislation to report on racial disparity. this closely mirrors state legislation ab953, the racial information profiling act which we are in full compliance with. finally, the department readily provides to the police commission, the board of supervisors as well as other governmental entities. >> from the internal perspective regarding
