captain tillman, you had some comments you wanted to make?> i just -- i just wanted the commission to know that recruitment is not just a san francisco problem. last year, i chaired a national committee on recruitment with over 20 different departments that were there. most of the big five, new york, l. l.a., obviously us, chicago, and from the south. not everybody wants to be firefighters. everybody will apply, but not everybody, once they start going through all the things that you need to do, are committed to being firefighters, so we have to understand that, first of all, it's not just a san francisco problem when we talk about recruitment. but what is unique upon san francisco is that we are or have been and still are a diverse department, where a lot of these other departments are not. they are still mostly male caucasian. and so we know the proverbial wheel has already been built. we know how to recruit, we just have to do it. and unfortunately, in a lot of the other departments, especially departments of our size, where we have one re

i'm calling in reference to a presentation that was given by captain tillman at your last meeting. i submitted a letter last week and the purpose of my public comment today is to touch on the points i conveyed. many of the assertions made were factually incorrect and in my opinion, irresponsible. specifically twice during the presentation, it was asserted that i hired 82 entry level classes and there were no black members. that is unacceptable and it's unacceptable to me as well. what i find unacceptable is the false information that was provided and allowed to go unchecked and unchallenged. it should be noted that all h.2 entry level classes that i hired are comprised of a diverse pool of candidates, including black candidates. i'm hoping by now you had the opportunity to review the hiring data and i appreciate commissioner nakajo's question for data. as noted in my letter, the united states department of labor acknowledge and recognized the san francisco fire department as one of the most diverse fire departments in the nation in a report titled promising practices for increasing
