what's enough for the da to prosecute is evidence. the burden of proof in court is a higher standard than the observation and the complaint that the police made. so, in the perfect world, somebody has called the police. the police are able to get there in time. remember they are extremely short staffed. the police are able to get there in time. there is evidence. there's an arrest. there are witnesses willing to testify. and the da gets the case. what happens then? the case will be brought to court. tried and a person will go to jail or prison for however long. how do we make this happen? in your office we have the neighborhood assistant district attorney program and we have assistant da's assign to the police districts there are 2-4 assigned to each district. within the assignments they break it up by neighborhoods so there are at least one assistant da assigned to work with the groups and the police in a particular neighborhood. the lower haight group has 2 people they are working with and others that have worked with them. what we h

we have a strong partnership with the da and the liaison with the da. there is a da liaison in every station. you need to get to know that community liaison from the da's office. they are an attorney at the da's office. we took this best practice from on hayes will valley. we have people in our neighborhood with their support, care and love are not coming through the door of light. and getting away from their criminal activity. when there's an arrest and there are repeat offenders. we have the officers tell us the arrest number when they arrest the person. then we hand over letters they are called stay away order letters. they are letters from the community, all of us. we are the ones that have to do all of this. that's an important message. we write letters to the judges saying that we would like this person this individual to be not be able to come back in

you think why are you sending officers to the bbq the da will have a festival at the african-american culture center on the 22nd. i'm sending officers to bashing bq and hand out hot dogs and be around. they will be the security but an invisible security and be participating with them. and we are sponsoring our of our station fund we are paying for that. that's our contribution to the event. our contribution is the security and the food. but it's to generally build up the confidence in the neighborhood and try to give something that will help break that cycle that exists that causes the gangs to develop. another specific point. supervisor mirkarimi and i took a walk around the housing projects. one big issue with plaza east was the community room is closed at 6 o'clock in the evening. the kids need to have the community room open until 10 or 10:30. we made noise about keep itting open. so i went back when the a lot of the young adults were there and talked to them and said. we have been making a video because we put the computers in there. i said, all right. i'd like to take a look at

terms of this stay away order project or what hayes valand he lower haight worked on is they had the da's office at their meetings as they have been work on the issue to help deal with the particular situations. so if your da representative is not there ethyl can tell you. okay. so, i would talk to the da because they were instrumental. one other thing about the stay away orders, when they are cest up they can be as specific or general as needs be. if somebody lives very close to where the stay away order is and the stay away order is where he or she was doing business, there can be exceptions and conditions in this that say that this person can go to and from their house. from the bus stop to their house they can't be on the corner of 16th and mission and loitering for the purpose of selling drugs or committing what their crime was but can walk through it to go home. they can take a bus from there if they can't find a place to take a bus. it can be spelled out that specifically so as not to restrict somebody from going to and from their home. >> any other questions? that's it? >> yes. >>

and we what you want and what will work for your neighborhood and ask for it for the supervisorer the da, captains and the city attorney's office. i mean that's what we really are stressing is community. one last person who is important is ali the head of the merchant association is that this really important relationship because a lot of times the merchants have their agendas. people think and the neighbors have their own. our agenda is the same when we want a safe and caring neighborhood and want a vibrant merchant corridor or shopping area for us and everyone else. so ali will talk about how we work together to create that. and on one of our merchants made our banner for free. that's what you get when you have a strong people in the merchants we support each other. >> everybody still awake. or are you falling asleep after that turkey lunch. i will talk a bit about what merchants and basically how we interact together. there is a lot about pieces of the puzzle. basically one of the things that's helped work in our neighborhood that i think should work in other neighborhoods is the coop
