thousands of records of sfpd officers are still stuck pending review at d.p.a. and sfpd. we need those agencies to prioritize the release of these records that the public has a rit to and we continue to be frustrated that as police commissioners, you have yet to set a deadline or even a goal for compliance nearly two and a half years after this law came into effect. across bay, a superior court judge ordered the city of oakland to comply with 1421 record requests there and gave the city six months. the city claimed it would be impossible. the judge didn't care about possible and you have two years he said, how could you not safe that you can't do it in six months. both d.p.a. and sfpd have submitted their monthly reports for tonight. d.p.a. in march released papers for two spaces and sfpd has also only released two cases as well. i think we can all grow that this pace is fatah slow. set a goal or mandate a timeline for compliance with sb1421, not doing so is denying the public important records about the actions of our police force. thank you, very much. >> clerk: thank y
