True tragedy, and i feel like we need to really work on i mean, if that was your mother or brother, would that policeman have shot to kill . How come we never hear about people getting wounded, taken down by being shot in the leg or in the hip or anywhere that doesnt kill them . I feel very sad about this happening again, and i want you to consider that were living in very difficult times, and stealing is not a death sentence, and its no duty of an officer to determine guilt and to therefore kill someone. Well, he stole a car, and therefore, the officer had to kill him. Its not simple whats happening in this world. Its a tragedy, actually. Thank you. Any other comments on items 2a through d . Okay.

Under Police Commission rules of order during Public Comment, neither Police Commissioners no, sir officers are required to answer, and should refrain from entering into any debates or conversations with speakers in Public Comment. Comments are limited to three minutes. President turman thank you, secretary kilshaw. Public comment on items not on the agenda. Good evening, mr. Sellhorse. Good evening. Happy holidays and all of that. Sergeant kilshaw, Police Commissioners. I dont have anything prepared. I want to say a couple things. I dont have anything prepared, but i want to say i think the new chief is doing a much better jonathb than his predecessor. The officers just do their job like professionals are supposed to do it, and i thank our new chief. Hes done a great job in instilling a professional ethic in a department that has always been good, but has it a plhad of flaws under the previous administration, police chief sur. And if you dont think we have a problem, i invite you to look at whats happening now, peter strzok, and all those politicized agents. That was where we were going under chief sur, and it took that poor woman who was shot in a moving vehicle, it took her death to finally get this commission to get off its buttocks and do something about that corrupt little man and get rid of him. It shouldnt have taken so long. Now, the next issue that i want to bring up, and its still a chestnut. There are still officers that think that chuck limbert, a former officer whos no longer in this department, but they still hold him in esteem. They think thats the way you get promoted. Thats not how you get promoted, and i want to congratulate you on promoting una bailey. Shes a captain in the mission station. Shes the one that had the courage to call out former officer limbert on his latest shenanigans or crimes in 2013, that led to his dismissal. I appreciate her not being fired, as greg sur tried to do. My times running out. I want to wish you all a happy holidays. I want to welcome the new commissioner. I congratulate you sir. I think youre doing great work. One final point. I never agree with the corrupt what the union is called. I never agree with them on anything, but i agree with them on the stun guns, and that person who spoke earlier, finding a way not to kill people, thats called a stun gun. Please get with it. Thank you. President turman any other Public Comments on items not on the agenda . As you well know, i sent you all a letter you received about cure and correct because the vote on tazers was illegal, according to the brown act. And also, by the way, it does say in the brown act as well that you can address employees of the of the city during meetings, as long as it connects to the work that theyre doing, so at all these meeting when you keep saying that you cant do that, its not true, and i hope you look that up. This is what the brown act says the people of the state do not yield their sovereignty to people. The people in delegating authority do not give their servants the authority for them to know whats good for them to know and whats not good for them to know. President ure man, i sent you an email. I appreciate very much what you stated at the meeting, and yet, i have to have strong objection to the way the meeting was conducted. You were allowed to clear the room. You did not clear the room, you deserted the room. You did not tell us where you were, you did not inform the public of where the meeting was going. We found out, but that is not our duty, your duty is to inform us, and people in that room left, did not know that the meeting was going to be continuedi continued upstairs, and yes, i know it says in the brown act, after a disturbance, quote unquote, that you can change the way people come into a meeting. But that does not include locking down city hall, which you did. And in fact, in the report, there was testimony that i gave from a woman and a man who were both told they could not enter the building, so therefore, you conducted a meeting that was not open to the public, and these are violations of the brown act, and youre going to have to look at this because if youre going to set a precedent of having tazers on an illegal vote, youre asking for lawsuits for whoevers first hurt by that tazer, that they said that that vote was not even legal. And i also want to say that our newest member, who i spoke to him, and many of us did, i never heard him speak from the heart, and i didnt, nor did anyone else. If we can lose the fact that this killed over 1,000 people. We were told like cigarettes, it does nnt harm its not leethal, a lethal, and only in the last year, we learn that its lethal. Deescalation has to be implemented before any final vote goes further on this, and it will be voted down. Thank you. President turman any other Public Comment . On a lighter note, i just want to say i participated in the Community Police academy training, and it was wonderful. It helped me change a big stigma i had about the Police Department, primarily the tenderloin station. I was so fortunate to have that, but again,ed Tenderloin Police have screwed it up. They have put me in great, great danger. The last report is i have a restraining order, and they consulted with a manager. Its at the human rights commission. Its under investigation. Nobody asked me. The officer said it looks like you instigated the problem. This has been going on for 2. 5 years. Hes in purjory of court for several things. This individual has threatened my life since july 31st, 2015, and for the police to tell me that he did violate the restraining order, but theres no arrest going to be made, prior to even taking the report, they told me, the d. A. s not going to do anything. Hes just going to throw it out. Look. Theres four officers that have belittled me as a woman, treated me so horribly that from 19 from 2016, i have such a fear for them, that now, i just finally called november 15th, and they told me that i instigated it. It was too much. I called sergeant lutki, and he said im sorry. You did so much, and it wasnt in your favor. They interviewed the officer, the person with the restraining officer, and they interviewed the manager. I said, you didnt ask anyone what happened on my end. We dont think we have to. I have given ten weeks of my life. Ive lived here for 32 years, and i want to be i was so excited about being on cit, a drug and alcohol counselor, and, you know, this has prevented me from continuing with my masters at ciis due to this individual stalking. He lives in my building. Its not a pretty thing, and now, i have no allies. The buildings against me, the Mental Health support in there is against me, and now, the managers blatantly lying saying i ran after this individual. President turman chief, could you ask one of your officers to please speak with this woman. She obviously has some unresolved issues that id like the doept epartment to follow. I will. And i have my investigators here, as well. President turman thank you very much. Good evening. My name is paulette brown, and greetings, everyone. I hope you had a good holiday, a good thanksgiving, and whatever else is coming up. But for me, i had an empty chair at my table. That is my son, my only son. Id like to use the overhead. Why . President turman if you want to use the overhead . How would i know . How do i even know it was on. President turman all you have to say at the beginning is you want to use the overhead. Well, you know i use it all the time. President turman go. I dont appreciate that. I really dont, and its not fair that you treat me like this. President turman okay. I dont do that to you. I lost my son. See, this is making me upset, and i really dont like this, but my son was murdered august 14th, 2006. To this day, his case isnt solved. I had a call from his inspector, spelin, and i have not heard back from him. He said he had something going on with the case, and as i say every time, i had an empty chair at the table this this thanksgiving, and it wasnt really nice for me and my family. And i just want to bring up again back when mayor gavin newsom was mayor, he said i know who killed your son. The d. A. Know who killed her son, the police know who killed her son. They can identify individuals and even list home addresses, so if you have all this, how come no ones been caught with this, and its been 11 years. How come i keep having to bring these pictures and saying the same thing over again and get disappointed or getting a hand waved at me and saying i dont have enough time anymore . This is what i have left of my son. Hi mother standing over his gravesite, of his casket. He has a mother, a mother and a father who raised him well, and this is what im left with. I show you, and you may be tired of seeing it, but im not. This is my child. Im not blaming anyone, but i want justice. Im still hanging my pictures up, and people are still taking them down. I know i only stand for my son, but i stand for other mothers who have lost their children to homicide, and i will continue to do that, and all that ive asked and every time that ive come here is for you guys to help me. Not get a waved hand at me, like i just did. I rushed myself down here with my grandbaby every week, and i shouldnt have to. I want president turman next speaker, please. My sons case number did. President turman next speaker, please. [ inaudible ] president turman next speaker, please. Hearing none, Public Comment is now closed. Next line item, please. Clerk item 4, discussion and possible action to recommend that the board of supervisors through the budget and finance committee approve a budget modification to add unanticipated revenue and overtime expenses to support new Police Services to the Transbay Joint Powers Authority. Discussion and possible action. Commissioners, thank you for having me this evening. My name is kathrin mcguire. Im the chief Financial Officer for the Police Department. There are two items in front of you tonight and well talk about the first one. The first one is the transbay terminal, as you well know, will be opening in 2018. With that opening, the Transbay Joint Powers Authority has requested the Police Department to provide supplemental Police Services to the transbay terminal. The annual budget is about 2. 4 million, and this this initial fiscal year budget is 770,000. In the future, we will be requesting the 2. 4 million to go through our budget process, so youll see that request in that process. This because its a midyear adjustment, we we are coming to you to authorize us to go to the board of supervisors for an accept and expend, so we accept the revenue and place the expenditures in our overtime budget, and at this time, i can take any questions that you may have. President turman commissioners, any questions for the director . Clarification, so were asking for an advance. We havent spent this money . Thats correct. President turman commissioner hirch . Commissioner hirsch i have two questions. Unanticipated revenue, what does that mean . That means that the Transbay Joint Powers Authority will transfer it to us, and then, we will spend it. It will come into our budget. Commissioner hirsch and i notice its earmarked for over time regular expenses. Why is it earmarked for overtime . Thats a great question. This is supplemental services, and this is intended to supplement our regular Police Services to any area, and well be using overtime in the first year because as you know, it takes 11 months to hire an officer, and so if we added positions to our budget, we wouldnt have those Resources Available right away. President turman commissioner dejesus. Well, she did answer amy question, so i think im okay. I did see in the newspaper that mta says its opening in 2018, and transbay people are saying 2020, and it may be delayed to 2021. Im not sure. Im not familiar with the details, im sorry. I think therell be initial opening, commissioner, and then, itll scale up. I mean, the plans really include a whole lot of other things that will go beyond what well see in 2018. Thats it. Thank you. President turman next line item please, sergeant kilshaw im sorry, Public Comment online item 4. Any Public Comment online item 4 . Good evening, mr. Sellhorse. Just a couple of points of clarification. I believe the building opens in 2018. The transbay portion of that terminal is 2020. I think the thing youre talking about is the extension thats being built up to chinatown. When i was walking up to the apple cart today, theres a Police Officer assigned to a private store, apple, thats right there by union square. And its like theyre private security, only they have sfpd badges. And im wondering, whats the name of that business thats going to be there . Why another private company is getting public funding Security Services provided for them . That seems unethical, perhaps even corrupt. President turman what is the 10b program, secretary kilshaw . The 10b program is a program through the city where private companies can contract out through the department, but they mpay for the services. Im sure the chief or our cfo can answer much better than i, but thats the gist of it. President turman okay. Do you have any comment on that . I believe that the apple store does work with our department to pay for additional Police Services. President turman thank you. All right. Any other Public Comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is now closed. Next line item, secreta. Secretary ionin commissioner, i think hes looking for a line item motion. President turman is there a motion . Okay. [ inaudible ] to fund anticipated overtime in excess of the adopted bow jet at the Airport Bureau, discussion and possible action. Good evening, director. Good evening, commissioners. Thank you again. So this item is due to a midbudget cycle request from the airport for additional Police Services or for increased Police Services at the airport. The Airport Bureau is requesting a surplus transfer from salaries to overtime, so just a reminder, this is Nongeneral Fund moneys managed by our Airport Bureau, and were requesting your permission to advance this to the board of supervisors. The total is 926,000 from savings and permanent salaries to overtime. And deputy chief schmidt is here to answer questions that are operational in nature. President turman any comment, deputy chief schmidt . Good evening, chief. Good evening, mr. President , commissioners. Interim. Interim. I know. I did want to say that. Sergeant no, this is just a this is allow stretching this money from the salary savings to the overtime fund will allow us to continue providing some high visiblity patrol and other security measures weve adopted to ensure the security of the airport. Thank you very much. President turman so were not asking for additional money, this is a reallocation. Correct. Its a reallocation of salary savetions. President turman okay. Any questions for the chief or director. I would just move to accept and thank the chief for the wonderful job shes doing at the airport. Second. President turman Public Comment on item 5 . Sorry. Okay. Hearing none, Public Comment is now closed. Okay. Commissioners, move by mazzucco, seconded by melara. All in favor . Any opposed. Okay. Thank you. You have your budget reallocation. Thank you. Secretary kilshaw. Item 6, presentation by the department on the coalition of homelessness on the status of responding to calls for service on individuals with Mental Health service. Good evening, commander lozar, i believe youre back with us, correct . 1 v. I just want to clarify a few terms that were going to be talking about today. I want to be clear, were only discussing the infractions given to homeless related crimes, so were not talking about property crimes or Violent Crimes that Homeless People might be involved in, and we distinguish between homeless laws, a term used by the u. S. Department of justice as defined here that those laws that prohibit Life Sustaining activities which Homeless People have little or no choice to engage in public, so this includes like sitting or resting in public, things that youd only receive a call or ticket for involving those who are living on the streets. Well also talk briefly about the impact of quality of life ordinances, so these are i think thises like drinking in public that might involve other types of people, but disproportionately affect homeless types of people, as we found. And here, the first thing we want to highlight are the citations that have been given for quality of life or tdinanc, which in the year 2017 are projected to be at 10,800. Of those that were categorized as homeless laws, this is almost 6,600 citations peryear. I think something to highlight is that since 2014, where it was about 15,000, that they have been reducing 30 year on year, which is something very positive in reflection to the findings were about to present, and we encourage the officers and commission to continue strategies to reduce those numbers in line with the u. S. Department of justice and huds suggestions. After the coalition put together the report, supervisor melara analysised a budget report to understand the cost of enforcing quality of life ordinances specifically against those experiencing homelessness and found that this resulted in 20. 6 million a year out of the San Francisco budget, of which 90 of these costs were incurred by the Police Department, so this is very costly. And want with tha and with that, im going to turn it over to my colleague, delara yarborough. Hi. I worked with the coalition on this report. Im delara yarborough. So just briefly, well review some of the key findings about the ways in which these laws and enforcement affect Homeless People. So these findings are from a survey of 351 homeless San Francisco residents. Our survey was conducted in downtown neighborhoods where the majority of homeless San Francisco residents reside, and its the most representative sample possible. So this chart that you see shows the percentage of our respondents in different living situations who experience each time of interaction with police in the last year, from being approached on the streets to being forced to move to being cited. As you can see, many were cited more than five times. Why do we care . So sometimes, we hear that these laws dont impact Homeless People in general, but that theyre just used to address the behaviors of problematic individuals. This is false. Our survey show that these laws affect the clear majority of Homeless People. People living on the street and camping experience the most severe forms of enforcement, with almost all of them forced to move, and about half of people camping or in parks receiving five or more citations in the last year. President turman what type of citations . Antihomeless citations, so as chris went over briefly, this includes sitlie, this includes sleeping, resting, etcetera. Yeah, all all of those, yeah. So here, you see that 70 of our respondents were forced to move by police or by city officials. Because there was nowhere else to go, the majority remained in public space. Most of them simply moved down the block. 22 moved to a different neighborhood. We found that even president turman just to clarify. Yes. President turman is this the Police Department making the move or is dph making them move and having them enforce this . That might be a better question for you yeah. The majority here are president turman hold on one second. [ inaudible ] president turman yeah, im talking to him. Hold on one second. Okay. I think what were just explaining is dph is were enforcing president turman the dph order. Yes. President turman okay. Im sorry. So youre saying, sir, in the back. [ inaudible ] president turman so the Police Officers are carrying out the order, but you dont know who initiated it, but its dph. Okay. Thats what i was talking about. Right. The experience of the survey respondents, when we asked who asked you to move, the person they most often see in front of them, asking them to move, is a Police Officer. President turman have you guys had this discussion at all with dph . Yes. President turman okay. Yes, and were going to get to that, you know, policing. Part of why were presenting this tonight is that we dont think that police should be called and dispatched as much to respond to these sorts of issues. President turman i would agree with that. Yeah. And so so whats happening, then, is that theres this constant churn, right. So as individuals are driven from one neighborhood to another, the overall numbers of Homeless People in each districts and in the city overall, obviously, remain consistent, so instead of a reduction, theres a constant movement. This is something we know intuitively. We see people getting pushed from block to block, shuffled between neighborhoods. Its important to be honest with the public and to let them know that calling the police is not the solution to homelessness. So if moving people around isnt making them leave public space, what does it do . This placement, even in the absence of a citation, can have serious affects on health and safety. So, for example, while we didnt ask participants in our study about rape or sexual assaults, some women just disclosed over the course of the study that they were rained after being forced to move to an unfamiliar location, so not only is it ineffective at getting people out of public space, it can be harmful. 59 of transgender and gender variant participants said they felt less safe after being forced to move. Okay. So what this slide shows is its not possible to police the hot team can refer people to the navigation center, those stays are limited to 30days. The majority of people staying there end up on the street after 30days. When we look at the people going to the navigation center, the numbers are not significant. We look at the numbers coming out. The persistence of homelessness is a problem of political will until the public understands the city needs to invest in housing, this problem is going to continue. I think we need the Police Department to educate constituents about this instead of saying police can get people into services or perpetuating the idea the members of the public have that polices is the solution, it is crucial to be honest with the public. President turman is the Police Department perpetuating that idea . Are we telling the people that policing the homeless is what we are here for, we can get you into these services . That is not us. That is another department. As much as i agree with what you are saying, i am glad to do our part. What you are talking about is beyond our control. All we can do effect the orders given to us. You can change the order system. We are glad to do that. That needs to be said. President turman you need to go to the Mayors Office or dpa. We are at the bottom of the chain. We cant change that. I think that, you know, to address that point briefly before getting back to my last light and turning it over to the director of the coalition. Many of us have seen a lot of neighbor meetings where people are trying to placate the neighbors who want to call 911. The reason we want to show what is happening with this type of polices is that it is pervasi pervasive. Whether or not people, officers want to do it, it is happening and it is having a harmful effect on Homeless People. Regardless of what people are calling 911 want people to think. So i think there are things we can discuss further. Briefly, what happened to our survey respondentses when they got the citations . The majority couldnt pay them. 62 ignored the citation. At the time of the survey it went to warrants. City data show in 2014, 132 Homeless People were jailed for quality of life. The citations added up. They were incarcerated for being in public space. No one in this room obviously wants this. That is why the da has as of 2015 stopped issuing the warrants on the quality of life citations. I will turn it over to jenny to continue with what the coalition is asking of the commission. Thank you. Hi. We are going to get to the recommendations and the stuff that you were mentioning, but i wanted to talk about quickly the impacts of the citation in terms of the big change that happened to make sure you all were clear on it. In 2015, previous to 2015, the courts were issuing warrants and civil assessments for unpaid fines. About 120 then, of course, when people dont show up for court those warrants as well. They were doing both. We did put pressure on the courts and this other stuff was happening. They changeid it, which was the right thing to do. It is illegal to punish people. They moved to the civil assessments. So now whereas before you would get 300 assessment the fine goes to collections agency, the arrest warrants are issued. You could potentially be arrested in you have a number of warrants. That ended in 2015. Now it is the 300 civil assessment. That still does have a significant impact. The professor covered the impacts. I want to point out one piece of the impact the vulnerability and force displacement creates a barrier to services in terms of working without reach workers. When people are moved around and are on the cass of getting housing and they lose contact with the outreach worker. Property confiscation is huge. You think it is dpw. That is not true. We have a truck in the tenderloin and witnessed the sfpd involved in property confiscation. You lose medicine, from the Mental Health perspective other kinds of things people are losing Survival Gear sets folks back. That is something that sfpd can certainly address and follow the property policy that is implemented by the aclu and Lawyers Committee not followed by sfpd. The context professor covered really well, but i want to move on. President turman what are you asking of us . Sorry. The recommendations we have a number of them for you all and commander is going to be talking more about what is going on with this. We want to look at dispatch protocol, exam that. If it is not a police issue, meaning a safety issue or something outside of the context of sleeping or resting or being homeless and present we would like to shift that up. If i am the public and calling to say there is a homeless person. Now the city is going to send a Police Officer, and we want to look at that. That is not appropriate use of resources. President turman your recommendation is we dont respond or shift it . It should go to the appropriate responder, psychiatric crisis without violence, go the Homeless Outreach team. The commission there is the infrastructure is not there 24 hours a day seven days a week for that to be done. President turman currently we dont have the infrastructure. At some point during the day that is possible. It is about building around that, is that correct . It is building. Some of that is being done with the three one one. Those are routed to the proettesiate city again appropriate city agency. What she is asking not 24 hour, seven day an week availability for that dispatch. President turman we could work with the homeless and city agencies to talk about building this protocol so it is an ongoing concern, we can do that, right . Correct. We want Community Education on costs and limits on policing homelessness. We hear positive a lot from the Community Meetings that we cant ticket our way out of homelessness, but we hear the opposite message as well which, you know, which isnt helpful. President turman the opposite message . Encouraging residents to call the police when Homeless People are present and they will remove them. President turman who is doing that . I mean there is. President turman not from the department . Yes, from the department. President turman our Community Engagement people within form the community when they do the Community Meetings about the appropriate channel to address these issues, is that correct . Yes and also to dispatch. President turman go ahead, chief. I think part of that is education on 311 and 911 calls period. President turman lets educate. That is up communitys alley. Encouragement of discretion. Admonishments rather than citations whenever possible. President turman that is in our control. Is that something we can work was the coalition on . Yes, we can work on that. I think the coalition is aware of this. A lot of these issues in the infrastructure go beyond what the Police Department can control. I am not saying these are good or bad ideas. We will work with you on those issues. President turman there needs to be another partner in there . Yes, we are working on that. President turman find a partner and work on it. Supporting alternatives like increased services and decriminalization and denouncing the antihomelessness issues. If the commission weighed in on you are one voice. President turman what do you want us to weigh in on it with . You can pass resolutions and make proclamations. The commission is a very respected element of the community having them fighting for more services for Homeless People would be helpful. I am turning it over. President turman commissionr marshall, let me go back to the one about who you call. This has happened several times. I run around the property. I have kids around, women on my staff, i have a preschool right next daycare next to my building, and for me when i go back to them and they are concerned, who can i tell them to call . The first person they called in the past is the police. It works. Who shall i tell them to call . First to be clear from our position. The very presence of someone who is destitute is not illegal. It is just another member of our community. If someone is in need of help, we should call the appropriate person for help. If there is an actual criminal activity it should enter the Police Department realm. That is our position. I have kids, i have them with me all the time around Homeless People all the time. I raised my children in my office surrounded by Homeless People. You know, just the very presence of Homeless People. Homeless is not a crime. Next. What is missing and i know you did a great job and thank you. When people call the police, they call the police and this is every neighborhood throughout the city. The chief and i had a meeting that shocked me with their concerns about homelessness in their neighborhood. It is those under the influence, those that are in psychiatric crisis that pose a threat and danger to people with children, to the elderly and the businesses that is the other half of the equation. The truth of the matter is. It is such a drain on the San FranciscoPolice Department resources to deal with this. It would be unanimous our officers dont respond. However, what do we do with the situation where i walk the entire city. Walking out of my parking garage. Tomorrow morning there will be at least 10 to 12 people under the influence because of opioid or methamphetamine, breaking into cars, hanging around the garage. The officers are talking to them. Get up, get moving. They are there. It is not fair to them they are in that situation. There are needles all over the place, children going to School Walking through the neighborhood. There are two sides to this equation. At some point the police have to become involved because social services are not doing their job. We are not getting these people off the street. The police have to get involved. We are society. That requires rules and laws to protect everybody. You are missing that part of the equation. Being homeless is not a crime and should never be. Everywhere we go, merchants are complaining. It is not just San Francisco, it is everywhere. It is affecting the city, tourism, most of the homeless i have seen. Most of the people on the street that i see in the morning are addicted to drugs or in psychiatric crisis. We have to help them. Sometimes it is the police. You are not addressing that side of the equation. The citations is dismissed by the judge in sauc saucilito. He did not care. We want to be compassionate. It is not working. I appreciate that. I dont see the two sides. I see it as moving towards solutions that work. That is really our framework. Often times what happened with the police with the time they get there the person is not there. What a waste of time and energy the entire endeavor is. What works. You mentioned a number of different things. A lot of the things that work are outside of the Police Department realm. I dont want to go too deeply into them. There was a newspaper article about a woman half naked screamed at a kid. Those are the situation also. When that happens you have someone in crisis. There should be a number of steps taking place. We have lost a lot of Mental Health system and seeing the results on the streets. It takes a lot of work. From our perspective it is not twosided. It is what are the solutions. That is how to move forward. We know and the department of justice knows and it is recognized the citation route is not working. We need to try something different. That is, you know, this is part of the puzzle. President turman i agree. Thank you for your hard work. We have a question. So i want to thank you and your team and the commander and the police defendant. We are asking to reform the dispatch protocol when they call to say someone is on my stairs, i want that person gone they can refer it to Homeless Outreach other than sending a Police Officer. That is a great idea. Community education. When our policera there they can educate how much it costs to do this. Maybe not in the same breath say call the police. We can do that. Use discretion is most important. Trying to reduce citations and utilizing admonishments, not criminal acts, community possessing. If they have discretion and can do that, that would be great. These are things to work with. You are educating me and the people watching us and the commission. I think it is great. It is clear. We are not talking about criminal activity, we are talking about the things we can do to reduce the Police Response to homelessness. Commander is going to talk about the Advisory Board on homelessness. We are working on all of these things. I am going to forego my 11 page 2 hour presentation on homelessness and get to the. It is available for the public if they would like to see. President turman you hit the nail on the head. The support of housing and public health. They are on the front lines interacting with those that need help and getting them to the services they need. We as a Police Department are compassionates. You see the statistics less enforcement and more referring. As Police Officers we are gaining rapport with people referring folks to outreach. Vice president you covered the other half of the presentation to say the San FranciscoPolice Department gets 5,000 calls for Service Every month that are homeless related. 1,000 additional calls we initiate when we interacts with the homeless. Our plan is to get the individuals the help they need. We see arresting and citations. We are Police Officers and enforce the law. When we see them in Case Management and stabilization and support of housing, that is the win. That is what the Police Officers are doing right now. To the last point we have been working closely with the coalition on homelessness and partnered on one of the Advisory Boards to look at this issue. Our primary goal is to work to train our dispatchers so when the Police Dispatchers receive what the public things is Police Related call they can educate about who should be involved and what our strategy is. We are excited about the work we are doing on that. I will take your questions. That would be good work. Lets start getting people directed to services, directed to the people who can help. You know, to say the appropriate person is probably a long list in there. We need to sort of make this list concrete so our dispatchers understand so we can start educating out. When this type of issue, when you see this issue with a person who is homeless this is who you call, no the the Police Department. We also need to on the enforcement. We need to talk to the dpa and find out what they can do to solve the issues without involving the police enforcements. Commissioner marshall had something. I know you are in a hurry, sir. Since i have a chance to be educated. I want to know what should i do . I really do. That is why i am bringing it up. It is not a crime. I know it is not a crime. There is an issue, little kids coming in and out. It is a point where they have to say you go do something. What should i do with my staff, how should we handle that . That comes up with a whole bunch of folks. That is what i was looking for guidance here. 7500 homeless in San Francisco. People are concerned about it. We broad brush homelessness. We have criminal activity, mental illness, substance abuse. In an emergency dial 911. To Vice President s point they are taking the clothes off in the street, in some sort of mental crisis or committed violence that is a Police Response, get the ambulance and get that person to the hospital. In those emergency situations we see it. For the other situation where this person needs help, they are homeless, there is an encampments that is three one one the one stop shop phone number in San Francisco. Download the app and take a photograph and send it to 311. I want everyone to know that if it goes to 311 and it is an encampment it goes right to public works and they address it. If a person needs a wellbeing check it comes to the nonemergency to be dispatched for the police. That is something in the future we can address that is currently the system is 311. The answer is 311. To be present and homeless exhibiting none of these two extremes, you do nothing. The person can be there. That is not anyones issue. The person can be there. If that person is not causing a disturbance, not taking off their clothes, not threatening themselves or other people, they are just there. You do nothing. You educate the staff, a person has a right to be there. If they are not doing anything, work around them. I would add the reason for the 311 call is to say the person is doing nothing, please send the Homeless Outreach team to see if they can help them. That is the calls they get as well. They will make that decision i guess. Okay. Any other questions for the commander . I would like to get an update in the future to see
