Thank you, good evening, chief. Good evening, commissioners. I will start off with our crime trends for this week. Overall, part one crimes are down 9 . Our total property crimes are down eight his and this includes eight and this includes burglary, auto thefts, and arson. We continue to have fewer reported incidents. Our auto burglaries are down 9 when compared to 2018, and 21 when included include compared to 2017. For Violent Crimes, the total Violent Crimes is down 11 , led by our homicide, which is down 21 yeartodate. We have 207 homicides compared to 34 this time last year. This is a 20 this is a 21 increase. We did have one homicide in the past week and i will give more detail on that in a second. In terms of gun violence, we have a total of 94 victims of gun violence yeartodate and that is a 12 decrease from this time last year. Of done violence, 16 of our students shootings have been fatal and there have been 75 shooting incidents causing injuries that resulted in injuries 278 victims yeartodate. I want to speak a little bit about the homicide clearance rates. We are doing really well with clearance rates for homicides, we have an 81 clearance right yeartodate, and i just want to note that last year, we ended the year with a 100 clearance rate which is really, really good work by our homicide team. We will continue to reach out to the public and work the cases that we have not solved. There are a number of cases we have not solved and we are continually working on those cases, but we are really pleased with the progress of our homicide unit and their work yeartodate. I think a lot of that has to do with our outreach to the community, in addition to good detective work by investigators as i mentioned, we did have one homicide this past week. That was in the 300 block in ingleside district. It occurred on sunday, september 8th at about 9 00 p. M. Two victims were sitting in their vehicle one an unknown suspect fired in their direction. The male victim received multiple gunshot wounds and was declared deceased at the scene. The female victim was also struck by gunfire but she was transported to the hospital with nonlifethreatening injuries. Investigators are working on that case and we are asking for the publics help. If anybody has any information, please call the tip line at 5754444. We also had four other incidents, four shooting incidents resulting in six victims with injuries over this past week. We had a shooting last night at 17th and mississippi in the southern district. We had a shooting on sunday, the timber eighth, at union and poke and the north end district we had an unrelated shooting at golden gate and poke on sunday when the victim walked into the hospital. On sunday, september 8th, we also had a shooting in the 300 block of venice van ness. All of those shootings are under investigation so we hope to bring them to resolution. Again, if the public has any information regarding any of those violent acts, please call us. In terms of traffic, we have four major injuries collisions over the past week. Vehicle versus pedestrian were our biggest causes of accidents or collisions. Three of our four major injuries were vehicle versus pedestrian. We had a 12yearold child struck at golden gate. This occurred on september 10 th, yesterday. It resulted in an arrest of the driver for driving under the influence. The child was transported and is in serious condition. We also had vehicle versus pedestrian collision that occurred at sixth and harrison. Almost 6 00 in the morning. That vehicle, that pedestrian also was transported with serious injuries and is expected to survive. On september 6th, we had another vehicle versus pedestrian on Mission Street in ingleside district. This occurred at 9 45 p. M. In the evening, and that victim is also expected to survive. The other incident involved three vehicles with critical injuries. This occurred on september 9th at 6 10 p. M. At san jose street. Again, we are continuing with the focus on our vision zero. We have upped our Vision Zero Team and our traffic company, we have doubled in size from four officers to eight, and they will focus on the five enforcement areas where we see most of our traffic collisions occurring, and focus on high injury corridors where these accidents occur. Major events for this week, the opening of the chase center occurred last week with the metallica concert. It was a very well attended event. A lot of excitement with the opening of the chase centre. We didnt have any major issues there. We didnt see any spikes in crime, and we did have traffic congestion, which we are continuing working with m. T. A. And the warriors and the giants organizations to make sure that we do everything we can to mitigate the traffic concerns, but so far, everything has worked really well and we are really excited to bring the words in and be a part of that. Next they want to give an update on the overtime expenditure. Our 2019 over time, the budget is enclosed for that period for that fiscal year, last fiscal year. We closed within our General Fund Budget of 19. 2 million, and we are actually 1,800 under with our overtime. Im very happy to report that. I know that has been a big issue that the Police Commission has been following and we will continue to try to tighten up our overtime, our systems and controls, and stay with our taxpayers money. This is a second year in a row that we have met our overtime budget. Next, i would like to talk a little bit, this is a followup for Human Trafficking. I know commissioner taylor had asked for followup with our Human Trafficking, and basically with the issue was, last year we saw a pretty significant increase in our Human Trafficking cases over the year before and this year we are seeing a significant decrease in the question was asked, what is the reason for . We really dug into it. A couple of things we have found. We spend a lot of time and effort because of the community complaints, particularly in the mission district, with focusing on some of these streetlevel activities that were happening in terms of Human Trafficking. As a result, we had an uptick in reports and arrests, and some of those, what we found is some of those reports and arrests were miscoded and some of them were missed. The good thing is we have a backup of our Human Trafficking unit, led by tony florez to hand count these cases. Inspector florez goes back and looks at each case, some of which had to be reclassified both ways. So we are in a process of updating our numbers to reflect the backup in terms of each one of those cases actually having human eyes on them rather than just relying on the coding and the reporting system. With that, what we have this year is 41 total Human Trafficking cases. If you look at the numbers, we only have 14 on the report from the original report. There were an additional 27 reports that had been upgraded to Human Trafficking after the investigators looked at them. Our total this year is actually 27. We also looked at last years Human Trafficking cases and got eyes on each one of those and what we discovered. There were 37 additional reports that did not make last years numbers. In total, they should have been there were 145 Human Trafficking investigations. Moving forward, what we will do is do actual hand searches, and make sure those numbers are reconciled before they get on the report. We have had to do that in a couple of other categories in the past, including Sexual Assault, and we still do it with homicide. We will still do that until it fixes our coding issues with these reports because when they are coated, they automatically go into the statistics, but the hand count with human eyes on them looking at the reports is a much more accurate way to do that at this time. In the future, moving forward, we will have these reports hand counted before we actually report them to the Police Commission, to correct the errors we found in this review of our cases. That concludes that part of my report if there are any questions. Any questions from commissioners . Thank you, chief. One thing that im going to be asking for in the future, and i thank you know at this point that im interested in these issues as a general matter. I know we had a presentation on the status of rape kits. They were incredibly helpful, but i would like a broader recommendation on the status of Sexual Assault and sexual trafficking in San Francisco, especially with respect to vulnerable victims. Lgbtq victims, victims were especially vulnerable to Sexual Assault, hotel maids, janitorial staff, people who work audit hours and are largely unseen and unheard of in our communities. So, these kinds of folks are often victims of Sexual Assault i want to know, i would like a report on the status of sexual report Sexual Assault in San Francisco as a general matter, but especially concerning vulnerable victims and what sfpd is doing to protect women and children with Sexual Assault and transgender victims , as well. Yes, maam,. Next item, i guess. Presentation and the opportunities for all former interns program. Commissioners, good evening. My name is darrell fong, commander of the department of communications division. Tonight i will be providing a brief overview of the departments participation in the opportunities for all summer intern program. I would like to provide a little history in terms of sfpd s participation in the summer Youth Programs. The program started in the summer of 2010 with the garden project, in which there were 50 youth that were employed and they were they learned about horticulture and good planting in that particular industry. In 2012, the future grads program was developed and implemented. In 2015, the San Francisco fire participated in a Community Safety Initiative Project program, as well as the mayor youth works program. In 2016, the youth career academy, under operation genesis, was developed and implemented. Since 2010, sfpd has hosted or supported approximately 2,000 youth in our communities during the summer months. They are still currently supporting all of the above summer job programs with the a section of the garden project. Under the opportunities for all program, which was announced in october of 2018 by the mayor, the goal was to expand Youth Employment and opportunities within the city and county of San Francisco for youth to create meaningful Work Opportunities for San Francisco youth and this was seen as a pathway to economic inclusion through exposure, engagement, experience, as well as employment. In june through august of this year, the youth participated in sfpds future grads program, which involved crew develop and partnerships with tech companies, where youve learned about coding, a partnership with Architectural Foundation San Francisco were youth also learned about Architectural Software design, and various sfpd units and administrative duties which included our passwords division, our Academy Training division, the Information Technology division , as well as other administrative functions. There was also Youth Community academy that was held one day a week for six weeks. In this academy, you the learned about their rights, about School Resources and officer duties, community policing, first aid, the department of emergency management, implicit bias, forced options, tactical demonstration, and there was a chiefs roundtable held, as well. This program involved 20 hours a week committed by the youth, and youth were recruited from the San Francisco unified School Districts throughout the High School High schools throughout the city. There are 37 heisel youth that participated. Twentyfive males, there were 37 High School Youth that participated. Also from june until july, the youth participated in youth career academy. This was a partnership between sfpd and operation genesis, spearheaded by officer jason johnson. This sixweek program exposed youth to various Career Opportunities within the community. There were three cohorts that were held. One in criminal justice, one in medical health and fitness, and one in stem, which entails science, technology, engineering and math exposure and training. There were various city agencies that participated in this program. The sheriffs office, the fire department, the d. A. s office, the public defenders office, idol probation and the s. F. Courts. In this program, they were 36 students that participated. There were 305 africanamerican , one hispanic, 22 females and 14 males. And the youth primarily who were recruited from the bayview Hunters Point community. Some of the highlights were youth having the opportunity to visit the state capitol, capital, visit the academy in San Francisco, visit the olympic club and also participate in a mock court trial were youth are given the opportunity to prosecute and defend a case. In june until july, there was also sfpd also hosted the Community Safety initiative, which was also in partnership with magic. This is a programmer youth participate in Group Projects related to sfpd and plantation of programs and Community Police strategies. They had an opportunity to learn about affect sfpd policies and procedures. The goal is to build strong relationships with youth due to increased dialogue. Youth participated by interviewing officers and community members. The end result produced three small videos about their experience. There were also field trips to various sights within the department, both that our crime scene unit, our swats and Technical Division and our special victims unit his. In this program, they were heisel youth that participated. Fiftyfive in total. They were divided into three groups. In june through august, do you through also placed under the project program which is run by the p. U. C. s Public Utilities commission where sfpd supported hosting youth by placing them in various areas in the department. The goal of this program was to expose High School Aged Youth to the various departments within the department. Youth participated in various departments learning about our training, our crime scene investigations, as well as our legal division. Twenty youth participated in this program, with ten females, ten males, seven hispanic, seven asian, and six identifying as caucasian. Finally, in june through august , the San Francisco Police Department supported the youth works project by hosting youth, again providing exposure to High School Youth to Department Policies and procedures, placements were throughout the department, in which ten youth right dissipated, four females, six males, four hispanic, five asians, one africanamerican, and theyre exposed to various a ministry of duties within the department. That concludes the various programs that the purchase that the department participated in. It is my pleasure to introduce a few of the youth that participated in the program to share their experience within these programs. I would like to introduce first Randy Ramirez who participated in the future grads program. Good evening. Hello. My name is Randy Ramirez and i have participated in the 2019 future grad program. Over the summer, i learned a lot about the Police Department and their engagement in the community. Along with this, i learned new office skills, public speaking and dealt with public with the public alongside the great people of the Community Engagement division. I also went on many public and private events, all of which i have enjoyed thoroughly. I have made good friends in my internship and i am grateful for this as i keep contact with them daily planning for our next summer. This program impacted me and how to evaluate my lifes choices. With this information, i can thrive on becoming a better person. Thank you. Thank you. [applause] thank you, randy. Night now id like to introduce Nathan Howell and Daniel Collins to share their experience with the youth academy. Hello, my name is nathan powell. And i participated in the program over the summer. For me, it was really amazing experience for the most part. We know that the media controls most information that people have. It affects their perception, and it affected mine. I knew that i didnt know enough about Law Enforcement. That is why this program peaked my interest. As i started going through, i started learning more, things that i didnt know. I didnt know that Law Enforcement was a brought spectrum and there was only things that go into it, rather than just police and doughnuts, which is all you here on instagram. [laughter] we also got to go to places. We went to the firefighter placing treasure island. That was pretty amazing. I got to see that its easier to understand why people react in certain situations because the situations that people are put in our so adrenaline pumping, it is giving you so much anxiety. It is really hard to make judgements in those split seconds. It was really fun for me. I got to meet a lot of people that i didnt actually know. We play games every other day so that is pretty cool. I like this program because you dont see a lot of really positive things like this. It is just grabbing a whole bunch of people from an underappreciated neighborhood, and you get to put them all together. We all got to get paid to learn and bond. It was really cool because we all got to form this defensive community, this sense of strength. Im walking down the street and a. C. That guy, hey, i know him. He is that dude from the program. Had pegasus that sense of security in a not so secure neighborhood. I had a really fun time. It was great. There is no negatives about it. Theres a lot of mental strain that goes into it, the things the media is not providing. I have a new interest in the cadet academy. I would definitely be interested in learning more about that. Thank you. Thank you. [applause] good evening. My name is Daniel Collins and i would say my experience with the y. C. A. Was also really fun as a child who grows up with a family of Police Officers and Law Enforcement, i was always really interested in what really goes on in a courtroom and during arrests and everything. So while in the program, i definitely learned a lot and had fun during the process. What i really liked most was working with the Police Officers and what they do. When we went to the j. C. C. , we did a couple of, i think it was called, what was it . I forget the name, but it was like this game where they would give us the answer and we would have to ask the question or have a question to it. I thought that was really fun because with everything that we learned that day, we were able to answer those questions without problems, and so during the mock trial, i thought that was also really fun, too, because i was in an actual courtroom and i got to really experience being a district attorney, which i thought, it was hard given the circumstances of the case, but in the end, it was really just about having fun and learning new things. Thank you. Thank you. [applause] that concludes our reports. I can answer any questions. Thank you. I congratulate all of you and i think all of you for participating the way you do. Any questions from commissioners . First and foremost, thank you again. I know it is not easy to come up here and do public speaking at a Commission Meeting, but one of the things they wanted to ask of the department is to make someone who runs Youth Programs to make sure we look at the metrics. What are the metrics of these programs that we are operating . How many young people are coming back the following summer . How many are coming into the program and the academy . What is our engagement like with young people after the summer . We need to ensure we keep the positivity going. It is something i want to put on our radar. I think was some of the Major Companies and big data folks that we have, we should be able to provide that sort of information as we provide the great programs. Those are some of the questions that i have been some of the things i want to see moving forward as we go through the next summer. Thank you. Thank you. You have one other item, chief. Yes, and we have commander Robert Osullivan on the audit of electronic communications. Good evening, commander. Good evening. Okay, good evening, commissioners. My name is commander Robert Osullivan and i was recently reassigned to the chief of staffs office. I have been here previously. This will be my inaugural visit in my new assignment. Can you hear me okay . Thank you. Im here tonight to present the Second Quarter, 2019 bias audit , conducted in regards to potential bias that might be discovered through electronic communications. The audits are limited to devices the department owns and not any members personal devices. The audits capture electronic messages that are transmitted from personal devices to department devices. All members are aware that the departments electronic munication devices are audited and that they do not have an expectation of privacy. The following policies set this forth. The department general order 10. 08 which is use of computers and peripheral equipment, Department Bulletin 19051, which is titled as fpds members expectation of privacy, use of Computers Peripheral facilities, and finally there is an internal Affairs Bureau quarter that speaks to the audit process. There are three systems that are audited. The three systems are as follows. The california Law Enforcement telecommunications system, which is commonly referred to as plots, Department Email system, and finally text messaging Via Department issued cellular phones. I will explain how each of these systems are audited and results and results of the Second Quarter for 2019. First, the program was established with searches all entries to the system using an established word list. The audit process is passive in nature and runs continuously. If a member uses one of the identified words, a hit is generated automatically and sends personnel to access the portal. Each hit is printed, scanned, and saved to a file. Staff analyse his every hit throughout the week, at those determined to be potentially biased are investigated. It has been fully operational since december of 2016. From april 1st through june 30th, there were six hits returned from the program, and after review by members, known none of the six hits were determined to be bias based. Secondly, Department Email. All emails sent and received internally and externally through the departments server are audited using an established word list. The audit process, it is passive in nature. If an email contains one of the identified words on the list, a hit is generally generated automatically and send to personnel via an email address exclusively used for this audit process. Those emails are saved and maintained on the server. Staff analyse is every hit and those determined to be potentially biased are investigated. From april 1st through june 30th, there were 493 hits retued from the program, and after review i members, none of the 493 hits were determined to be biased. Finally, text messaging. Audits of Text Messages sent and received both internally and externally vh department issued phone is conducted by staff. Staff is trained to conduct active audits using a program developed by the cellular provider, at t, in the Information Technology division every 30 days, a search is done of all texts using the same established word list. Additional terms can be used, as well. Search parameters allow staff to Search Department systems for historical texts if necessary. For data not available on local systems, the cellular provider will be contacted to determine if Additional Information still exists on the servers. Staff analyse is every hit to determine the context in which the term was used. Those hits determined to be potentially biased are investigated. All false positive hits are saved by at t. From april 1st through june 30th, there were 23 hits returned from the program, and after review by members, none of the 23 hits were determined to be Department Member generated bias. Those are our results. Thank you. Any questions from commissioners . Thank you. Next item. The last item is the status update regarding building 606. The deputy chief will present this item. Okay. Just make sure you dont leave. Good evening. My name is greg yee, i am the deputy chief of the administration bureau. This is the update for building 606. In july of 2018, employee concerns increased stemming from the Media Coverage of the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard cleanup, and specific Media Coverage regarding building 606 later in july of 2018, the San Francisco Police Department, along with other departments, met with the employees of building 606. The employees expressed their concerns and provided and were provided at that time the cleanup updates that were ongoing. The employees were asked to provide very specific concerns and the types of testing they would like conducted. From that meeting, the San Francisco Police Department, along with public health, developed a comprehensive sampling plan to address the employee concerns. The employees were kept uptodate during the entire process, and after all the assessments were completed, the final health and Safety Assessment report was compiled, and a copy was provided to the members of building 606, along with the presentation. Based on the current project timelines from the department of public works, the traffic company, the new building that will be built, which will house the future frantic service division, that timeline is the fall of 2021. At this time, i would like to introduce his to Kevin Maloney from the department of public works will provide an overview, plus some findings of the health and Safety Assessment for building 606. Good evening. Good evening, commissioners. Do you all have a copy of this . We do. Please follow along. If you see here, this is the first line of our presentation related to the staff of 606. This is the third update of all the findings of our comprehensive sight mac assessment. Our support staff, including myself, i am assigned to as fpd my coworkers and my immediate supervisor, as well as the director, as well as the rest of Occupational Safety and health are at the disclosure of the department to provide health and Safety Services. D. B. H. Nsf p. D. Collaboratively can stand together to provide health and Safety Services to building 606 occupants and were committed to committing to do that through the duration of occupancy and Going Forward there is a brief history of what we have done so far. The deputy chief is already gone through that previously to explain to you what we have done historically. This all started a little over a year ago now when we first met up with staff and address their concerns. We began to collaborate and develop a copperheads of list of things that were concerns for them at 606. Once we developed that list, we began the sampling protocol. We started setting up meetings to present to the staff so everybody was on the same page. The second update was presented in december, which summarized everything with the exception of the radiological testing. On july 25th, it was our third update, which is one this presentation was shown, which we presented all the radiological findings and the summary of the whole comprehensive sampling assessment. This slide here is the report overview. It shows, on the left side, the concerns of 606 staff, on the right side, the corresponding section in our comprehensive report that was presented, which i believe you all have a copy of, as well. And so that we can have something that correlates, we have the concerns on the left, and the corresponding section in the report that correlates with those concerns. The first section of that has to do with indoor air quality, specifically hvac, which is heating, ventilation and cooling systems and how that would actually function. So tracing the efficacy of that , and we determined that everything is functioning appropriately and still actively filtering out outside air and providing clean air inside the space. The second concern was regarding asbestos and lead, airborne asbestos and lead. We did do copperheads of sampling of that over multiple weeks using static or fixed locations, as well as personal samplers that the employees would wear, and all of the samples showed no asbestos or lead present. Additional concerns were expressed by Drinking Water quality. Drinking water meaning the domestic supply that was plumbed into the building. We did actually do some testing with San Francisco Public Utilities commission. They wanted to analyse the samples. We did find that lead was led was present in the Drinking Water, specifically one level inside the building was above the action level for Drinking Water quality standards. Being that all the staff are being provided eight and continue continued to be provided bottled water, theyd it is not a Health Hazard at this time and they will continue to be prided provided with bottled water. And continuation of that, there are localized fixtures within the building to help reduce the handwashing and dishwashing and dishwashing is not a concern for occupants. The crawlspace standing water has been an ongoing issue out that Hunters Point, specifically due to some sump pumps in the crawlspace not functioning appropriately. Those are being rectified, but concern was addressed by facilities personnel to enter those spaces and d. P. W. Folks who have to go down there. We did not encounter any standing water throughout this whole entire wet season. That being said, were committed to do testing showed that water return. Should that water return. The next slide is about Waste Characterization of the soil pile, which is located behind building 606. The soil pile was excavated when they did some underground sewage work. The soil pile has remained on sight and there were concerns about contaminants in the soil so that was tested for disposal criteria and it made met all landfill criteria to go to a general landfill with no special precautions. It was tested for multiple things including heavy metals, pesticides et cetera. We talked about the delay in getting the data to the staff, which was presented to them the last meeting that we had. The radiological screening consisted of inside and outside the building, as well as the immediate vicinity, meaning the parking areas, the front and back, as well as the two east and west, as well as some employee vehicles. Some employees expressed concerns about driving in and out of Hunters Point shipyard and what could potentially be on their tires and inside their wheel wells. We inspected all of these areas we were there for the entire process. Samples were taken and testing was done inside the ventilation system, as well. There were no radiological hits of concern in the building or any of the parameters that he measured. In conclusion, based on this comprehensive health and Safety Assessment that we conducted, we are confident there are no health and safety hazards at building 606. A couple questions for you. The lead, im looking at page four, ledge detected in the water inside the building, and then you say water samples collected outside the building. Where is that from . On the whole process of getting into the shipyard, the plumbing system, the exterior plumbing coming up to meeting building 606. We kept it along the line and we did get lead hits sequentially increasing as we got to the building. Is important to know that we did find lead outside. It is not just building 606, but we did find things along the line. It is most likely due to stagnation and lack of use of the building, and not enough waterflow to clear lines out. The lead is reaching from the pipes, though . It could be coming from that rick could be consolidation from lack of use. Every time a city Agency Issues a report like this, within a week or two, the chronicle has an article, and it criticizes the report and it criticizes the city, and its hard to know what to make of that when you are a layperson like we are. Im just wondering, what do we do when we see criticism of the standards used or the criteria . How do we make sense of that as a commission . As a commission we are happy to help explain what the data means to show collaboratively what different regulatory agencies have as far as set points for these different parameters for health and safety, and were happy to explain what all of those mean in lay terms as best as we can to help you feel comfortable about what the data is actually showing. All right. You have assured the department and the people who work out there now that as far as you were concerned, it is safe in all regards. Yes, sir. Okay. Any questions from any other commissioners . Thank you. Youre welcome. Next item. Line item two b. , d. P. A. Directors report. Port on recent d. P. A. Activities and announcements. The report will be limited to a brief description of d. P. A. Activities and announcements. Commission discussion will be limited to determining whether to calendar any of the issues raised for future Commission Meeting. Good evening. Good evening. I have a number of updates. We started our new system, so it is difficult to collect. I dont have all the data that i typically have because of the new system and their Case Management system. Were still transferring a lot of the data in. I have some of the records. We are at 507 cases that are open so far this year. This time last year we were at 462 cases. In terms of cases that have been closed, we are at 438. This time last year, we were at 398. In terms of the open cases, we have 372 open cases right now, this time last year, we were at 262. Part of that increase are some of the sheriffs work that we are doing. I will talk about that in a minute, as well. The cases that are sustained, or 39, versus the 32 last year, and in cases mediated, we are at 26 versus 14, which is where we were last year. Some of the same some of the things that stand out are the increase in mediation. We have been working a lot with the department both to encourage the department to anticipate more participate more actively in mediation and with some of our cases, doing more of the mediation. In terms of the cases passed the 278 days, that are older than nine months in our department, we are at 40. This time last year, we were at 30. The majority of the cases are told, but i dont have the specific numbers that i typically would have. The system does not have that information yet. We havent pulled it all out yet. In july, the c. M. S. System became live, which is affecting a lot of our technology and a lot of our information that we are typically able to pull out, and we are having some challenges in getting the information both in and out of our system. People are still learning the new system from the staff. We do expect to have a lot of longterm benefits out of the system, not the least of which will be eliminating thousands of pages of duplicated work, and also, eliminating a lot of the duplicative data entry. For some of our cases, some of the information being entered into the system would be entered into the system at four different touch points at different times. The system is going to fix all that. And once we have all of the bugs worked out of it, we are currently working to build the reports for our continued requirement reporting his and our monthly root quarterly and annual case statistics and well talk about some of that as well. We will have a full presentation on all of our Technology Upgrade later on in the fall. I dont know if we have a date yet, but is coming in the fall. We will talk in depth about what those processes are. We completed the citys Surveillance Technology audit, which was a comprehensive thing that all of the departments have been asked to do. We dont have any Surveillance Technology, so that made it a little bit easier, but every department has been asked to complete the process, which we did, and we are now still, in terms of the citywide record portal, in the early early stages of creating our online portal for the release of records. The chief of staff recently met with the director of i. T. About this project, along with other custodians of Law Enforcement records. That is the commission, sheriff s department, District Attorneys Office and probation i talked about the mediation already. And we have another case in closed session later on this evening. The audience and my chief of staff and senior investigator are available in case issues come up together come up today that can be dealt with. I have just been spending a lot of time coordinating a lot of the work with the sheriffs structure. Mostly trying to coordinate with the mayors office, the board of supervisors, and the sheriff about what types of cases, what kind of work is going to be done with d. P. A. , and im sure most folks may have seen, but there was an officer involved shooting involving a deputy this week that we have on our caseload, as well all hands on deck. That is what d. P. A. Has been up to. Thank you. Any questions . Next item. Line item two c. , commission reports.

Commission president s report and commissioners report. Any reports from commissioners . Okay, we are coming off the summer. Yes, just to let the public know, that the Bias Working Group has met twice this month and we are planning it has been three times since our last meeting, Commission Meeting. We plan to have another working group at the end of the month. Initially we were working on the bias d. G. O. Which is 5. 17, and in reviewing that, we realized that the 5. 03 which pertains to the investigations also needed to be revised given the bias d. G. O. We are almost 99 complete with the 5. 17. It was less than the working group. There was just one issue because the bias d. G. O. References investigations, and so at our next meeting, we will be reviewing the investigations , and i did speak with the chief, and it is our hope that we will have 5. 03 regarding investigations completed at the next working group, and those will be submitted to the chief for concurrence and hopefully to the commission at the same time , since the bias d. G. O. References fivepoint zero three. And investigative dissent detentions. We did complete the file regarding discrimination which is currently in review by the chief and concurrence. Thank you.

It wasnt addressed and we will let you present it at the time for Public Comment. Any Public Comment on 2a through d only . Good evening. I am john jones. I would like to comment on the report. I dedicate my remarks to the memory of the late head of the soviet checker under linen. The failure to find true positives is due to the Police Departments failure to use the right words. The word you are using to detect the bad guys are inadequate. I want to suggest another word. That word is beer. We know from the kavanaugh hearings that they like beer. If you can find sworn officers talking about beer over the Police Network you can own in and get the bad guys. I think we owe it to the comrade to make this program work. Thank you.
