i have a lot of respect for chief suhr. i'm grateful to him that he is talking to community right now about what happened in charleston which is just sickening to see that something like that could happen in this country. and i have a lot of respect for so many police officers who try to do what is a very difficult job to try to do the best job they can and i'm very grateful for that. but i do have some specific questions. first of all on the issue of training around youth, we were actually, we played a role, my office played a roll in the meeting of the youth commission and police commission a number of years ago and there was a specific request to do training specifically on the interaction between youth and police. and to my knowledge, that training has not been put together at the police department. if i'm mistaken by saying that, then i would apologize, but i would give you the opportunity to give us the specifics of that training, but to my knowledge, that has not been put in place in the police department. i also wan

classes that is a modest request because of the homophobic texting we have insurance from our chief suhr and department chiefs and 0 others of reestablishment of the anti bias trainings within the academy we stopped it because of the loss of fund but the sharing of the curriculum for the anti bias in the community and the anti byes bias programs but chief ali and chief suhr the unconscious racism training their command staff and captains have gone through that training be extended to the full force it is critical especially given the what happened in many different places from ferguson to charleston to make sure our city has a police force as free of bias and concrete plans within the police department i know that executive officer and others will share this is one key way to insure we're implementing it right and as it comes to the public safety and budget committee to how allows us to have more discussion with the anti bias systemic forest so we can say our city a do everything we can to have a justice that is for justice and free of bias historically as we moving forward i know there

chief suhr did commit to doing that in 2012. what i want to emphasize is that between 2012-2015 that's a long time in young people's lives in this city. it's a lot of lives of young people with dealing with police in those intervening years. the perception that they have of police and how that's going to affect communicated relations long-term and we know that issues of training around youth and dealing with training in our police department but we think it's part of the discussions. thank you for making this essential today. >> thank you. i'm going to call more. i'm going to say they are going to continue the jail hearing for another day. melody corral fagan, camerea, diana block from the california coalition of women prisoners. next speaker? >> good afternoon, supervisors, my name is joyce clagz, with senior and digit action and i just went to a meeting with coalition on the homelessness. the two phrases that come to mind are way back when deviant behavior is a normal reaction to an unusual situation. deviant behavior is a nor

. >> i'm tom commissioner president loftus and commissioners chief suhr i have a comment i was going to point out that despite the patrolled special tsa wells special work he's not a police he did have the train to help naked people that's the one good thing coming out of the racketeering operation if 12 are 1993 they're not constitutional their pay to play police want a describe in police station and have communications with police officers with corrupt police officers their criminal and the worse of them all okay. that hopefully didn't count against my 3 minutes that's item number one i'm here to talk about the latest example of bad consequences when how allow people in this city foyer reasons to break the law on a regular ongoing basis now it is poor miss steinly that got murdered you created the most of the responsible for this policy you've been you had for 25 years in the city and now the consequences are coming home to rooftop you deserve the appropriate things you deserve worse what you're getting to be honest this is not the first example the patrol we allow lawful criminals

in addition is chief suhr has also said that it's going to lead to the continued increase in population of homelessness and black and brown and poor people in areas where they want to -- gentrify the situation. the latin member and women in the mission areas which is a huge area for gentrification has stepped up until it became an economically hot area. we have to say that police racism and profiling is economic. so no new jails, no new police. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> thank you. aroma gallo. you received our report today about the rebuild. i'm trying to link up the 2 two 2 points of the hearing. we appreciate that you rescheduled the hearing on the rebuild focus so we can have talks about alternatives to the jail because in fact of the jail situation we have almost achieved our goal of emptying out and closing the two jails that are now located at the hall of justice that the mayor and you are talking about rebuilding. >> there are 295 today. that means we need to have alternative sites and that means the hall of justice are not full. this is problem solving at a le

fourth and fifth police academy classes as mentioned in public safety hearing on thursday and as chief suhr has noted to me in our communications to each other it is in progress. >> okay supervisor mar i believe that motion technically to resend the motion on the police department. >> i move we resend the motion on the police department for to reopen. >> mr. rawlins field talk about that. >> supervisors you continue to have the whole budget you can take months ago on this. >> okay colleagues further any discussion on this motion supervisor wiener and first of all, clarification to make the motion what kind of when you say put it on reserve this is for the upcoming 2015-2016 the post budget is 5 academy classes that will put on reserve numbers four and five clarify the kind of reserve. >> mr. rawlins field we placed on budget reserve it comes back to the budget and finance committee. >> somr. chairman i will be voting against this i believe we need training because of the homophobic and other text messaging and the department needs to move aggressively in terms of anti bias training and othe

i have a great deal of faith in chief suhr and i know he's trying to deal with this issue head on. but also to deal with this head on, the city also has to put it's money where it's mouth is and we have to give the agencies involved the resources they need to make sure we have a full and complete investigation and that means not only giving the police department and the occ the resources they need to do that, but also our district attorney. i'm very disappointed that the mayor's office did not include in the budget they put forward very small amounts of money so that the district attorney could do a full investigation of what happened. i think that's a disservice not only to the community, but it's also a disservice to the rank and file of the police department who i think at the end of the day will only benefit from from getting to the bottom of what happened. i think there has to be a complete and full investigation, not only with what happened with the police department and with the sheriff's department and we need to make an investment going forward and having as much accountab
