by sfpd officers violates the city sfpd's department order 5.15. it does not matter that the immigration status information is sought from federal databases or from individuals. it does not matter if the sfpd officer makes use of the information during the jttf assessment investigation. travertine's policy prohibits the inquiry from being made at all. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good morning. i am john crew. a retired attorney from the aclu speaking for myself. i was a police practice specialist for the organization for 20 years and have worked extensively on these issues. i want to thank the supervisors, and their aides for the diligence in holding this hearing and performing this oversight function. it's above and beyond, especially since you don't have a recommendation you're acting upon. i think bringing light to this issue is very apartment. i also want to thank police commissioner president bob hirsch for the detailed way in the careful way he has studied up on this topic that is reflected in his responses. anyone who wa

>> supervisor mar: -- one, require sfpd to report. and two, require sfpd to disclose the aggregated crime data for victims of adult, aggravated assault, sexual assault, burglary, theft, motor vehicle theft, robbery, battery, vandalism, domestic violence, and murder. the legislation does not require sfpd to collect any new information from victims, but only requires sfpd to report available data that has already been collected. i first requested this data for a board of supervisors hearing i convened in march in response to a series of home invasion robberies targeting families in the chinese district. after more crimes throughout the day, i was joined by president yee and supervisor safai in a recommendation. the data we received is alarming. 50% of the victims are black. all communities citywide saw an annual increase in burglary victims since 2015 and robbery victims increased annually since 2016. theft victims across the see more than doubled from 2016 to 2018. with 28,444 theft victims in 2016 and 59,756 in 2018. asian burglary vi

we reported progress on the sfpd 's filling of all of those. in the aggregate, i would say that the 60 positions that have been filled between fiscal year 12-13 and the start of our last analysis, and then i would have to check back, which i can do maybe while the sfpd is updating you to see how many remain unfilled. i would have to look it up in the appendix. >> just in regards to the process of the analysis, i'm just curious, where there certain civilian jobs or certain positions of the 200 or so in certain departments that were easier to analyse and whether or not it was consistent in terms of the department's sub- departments sub departments that would have organizational charts did they all have organizational charts or can we get them to get a better sense of why those decisions were made in the first place? >> yes. they all have organizational charts. many of the functions were quite straightforward. i think it is typical of police departments with detention between using uniformed officers and civilians, and for a lot of years in my obs

this is the data that sfpd itself produces, and this is where you can say that there's no improvement -- see that there's no improvement in racial disparity and use of force. this is up to the most recent quarter. if you look to the long black line there, that's black people. the little line, that's white people, and you see the arrests and the use of rforce. we want to demand -- it's been more than two years on use of force -- on reporting of this issue, and we want to demand to look at this. we want to insist on per capita reporting by race such as you see in the packet. thank you. >> president yee: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. magic altman with the justice committee of the d.s.a. so first of all, it's very telling that commissioner hirsch couldn't be here, the entire commission should be here. i was glad to see cindy elias here. appreciate that. so also, it's, you know, so interesting that the chief chose one example of an actual incident, and it was a black woman. wow. i would call that implicit bias, that that was the one story he chose. also, there were no statist

in february of 2018, the sfpd, along with the d.o.j. and the police commission committed, under an m.o.u., to initiate those reform goals here under formal program. we were engaged on june 1st, 2018, in this process began anew in that time between the withdrawal of the u.s. d.o.j. and our company, there have been work on going with the organization. what we are focused on here right now is the context in terms of what does that mean? many of us in the early days, people were looking at the fact that they were looking towards more truths in oversight in terms of judicial oversight. reform was chosen not only by the city, but also by the u.s. d.o.j. as being appropriate within the context of the issues facing the organization. what we know about collaborative reform is it is locally driven, it is a collaborative approach, what it is also resource constraint and time bound. this department is standing forward and talking to stakeholders and it is recognizing that there are challenges within the organization that they are willing to work wi

i would invite you to speak with a representative from sfpd. >> we'll follow up. i'm not aware of that case, but we will follow up. >> thank you. >> have a good evening ma'am. >> good evening commissioners. my name is brian with the public defender's office. dpa published its 2018 annual report last week. 275 days late. the data report was confusing. since i have a few minutes to speak i'm going to highlight three points. first they report that 59 percent of sustained cases nine month internal completion goal but 293 percent improvement over the previous year. i did the math. the math suggests that just 15 percent of cases met that goal. i realize the goal was just a benchmark. both the percentages receive a failing grade in any school. an increase sounds impressive but sounds absurd under scrutiny. they said the public filed one misconduct allegation. of those officers 85 percent had more than one allegation. actual numbers instead of percentages which are the more vivid story. that story is this. nearly 600 had more than one allegation in a single year, over 200

the sfpd mentioned locations today, and none of them mentioned the tenderloin. well, that's funny because we've seen four pedestrian fatalities and how many serious injuries in the tenderloin? is so we're asking you to help us ask the sfpd to strongly commit to make sure that our focus on the five behaviors in citations are laser focused on the high-injury corridor in known dangerous locations. we all deserve to be safe on our streets and if the city is truly committed to this, we're asking for your help on this. >> thank you, jody. >> i do think scooters are important, and i would prefer to have a separate hearing and right now it's focus on the five. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> thank you, supervisors. i would like to pay you back on what supervisor yee said about the reports. i think those are necessary by sfpd and i would like that to include the demographics and go further to see if the same disparities exist if they are doing citations on the black community like they are the rest. i would like to see if that correlates. also i would like to c

but the files remain proof of substantial compliance by the sfpd. collaborative reform happens in the field. they are reporting those actions each sponsor is responsible facilitating the recommendations and that is key chief scott has also, within this last phase, is initiated command level meetings as a group to review and develop more cleanly, clearly, as well, the strategic initiative across all the practice areas and making sure there is a visibility across the command staff, as well as those officers tasked with implementing reform to ensure that we are looking at what was the original goal of the report that was to improve policing overall in san francisco. in terms of context, we're contracted on june 1st, 2018. the phase i report was delivered on april 1st, 2019. it is on the sfpd website and the use of force is a key focus under that review, and also about establishing the baseline standards. being able to put in that framework of how the reform will be measured and progressed as we go through all 272 recommendations, but also showing the r

we think that one of dpa's overarching goals is to help bridge the gap between the community and sfpd. when we presented my comment was use the force right? like we might be able to help in those one on one interactions where a community member just needs to be heard. so i don't want to still share an ugly but i will say we have been increasing mediations and we want to keep doing that. we want to strengthen partnership and relationships with law enforcement through the mediation program, obviously most officers aren't thrilled to come to dpa for an investigation, right? but i have heard that they are engaged in the mediation program, a lot of times they find that beneficial. we want to increase the number of mediations. this gets back to our performance metric, increase number of mediations as well as increase satisfaction as measured through surveys by the officer and by the community members who are part of the mediation. outreach has been a huge thing that director henderson has prioritized. and i think we've already expanded the outreach a lot which has resulted or i can't prove

it is on the sfpd website and the use of force is a key focus under that review, and also about establishing the baseline standards. being able to put in that framework of how the reform will be measured and progressed as we go through all 272 recommendations, but also showing the real progress in terms of what they can do on use of force. what we are seeing in phase two is this report will be expected mid december, 2019, but the progression of reform, and what we are seeing as an accelerated pace in terms of reporting on what the department is able to achieve, and we are starting to see some expedited growth as a result of those early wins. the department as a whole is starting to look at various areas and say, how do i capitalize upon these issues? the process overall is that the department completes the work required under the recommendation. the professional standards documents the work. we provide technical support not only during the actions of the department during the review of the file. once it is approved by us to say that is is substantially standard, it will go to the cal d.o.j.

by policy, the sfpd does not comment on open investigations. while his mom looks for answers, attorneys wondering if this was a case of mistaken identity or something else. either way, they're moving forward with a civil rights lawsuit. >> somebody's got some explaining to do for me. >> reporter: now, tones for the family tell me they're asking that body camera footage be released. reporting live in san francisco, christie smith, nbc bay area news. >> christie, thank you. >>> up next, new housing coming to peninsula, but it's going to come with a cost. the impact it's going to have on b.a.r.t. riders. >>> plus it's a 747 none like any other and it's here in the bay area. how it's helping astronomers study the solar system in wayses we just can't on earth. >>> i'm meteorologist jeff ranieri. we have your hour-by-hour forecast coming up so you can plan around it coming up in eight minutes. >>> here's the upside. hundreds of parking will be lost. in its place, new housing, shops, and revenues for the city. however, this has prompted a neighborhood

the issues that the groups were having when they came to us and said it was taking months for the sfpd to process that, it is now a five-day turn around? >> within the five days, yes. >> okay. and when you -- i want to make sure i understood what you said earlier if i heard it right. you went to the page where it said denial or delay reasons for delay. >> correct. >> and one of the things is if the person is not authorized. now, are these given priority over other requests that are made for actual police reports? >> yes. >> director henderson. >> i just had a question a clarification. we talked about the agencies that release reports for the authorized representatives. do they still need to show the id, their ids? their own ids or on behalf of the clients they are representing. did that get resolved? i know there was discussion about that or is that part of the litigation? >> that's part of the litigation. >> okay. >> okay. thank you very much. next item, please. >> line item 2b, dpa director's report on recent activities and announcements dpa's report will be limited to a brief descri

again, i don't want to give the impression that the sfpd wouldn't give us any information that we asked for. we will, including charts that list the job class, the name of the individual there, and the function. so that is not a problem. just to put everybody's mind at rest, but the kind of analysis that would let you determine whether or not there tat -- they -- there are tasks within a job that should be civilianized, even if that job is been performed by uniformed officer, that is not the determination that you can make by looking at a chart, so that is what i was thinking. >> so, i guess, if i'm taking this statement to be true, than one -- then what are you looking for? what is the statement for? is it to say we need more information or more details? i'm just responding to -- >> yes, i guess i am sorry if the statement in this report is confusing. what was going on at the time, we were trying to anticipate the fiscal year 19-20 budget process the police department was underway with a review of civilian options. it was done by many of their command staff. we got details in many bure

everyone from sfpd have been nice bringing me up to the

everyone from sfpd have been nice bringing me up to the current level of information they all have. so we have -- those are discussions that we are having. i can tell you that the police department is concerned about everyone's safety, regardless of the mode in which they move about the city. certainly on the sidewalk people -- i can imagine i wouldn't expect that and i know a lot of people are surprised by that. what we have in that regard is a lot of foot beat officers deployed throughout all of the stations. so that's something that i can imagine or remind or discuss with the captains, who i'm sure are aware of that as well, about that being something that is addressed. the focus for our officers using police cars and motorcycles, speed is a big issue along with the focus on the five factors. people who are walking and on bicycles, there's a long list of people who are very vulnerable in a collision, more so than vehicles. so a lot of our effort and focus on the five is directed at vehicles because of the dire consequences that can occur. the short answer is i think foot beat off
