City put out or its been in the press about the number of vehicles in the city. Are we able to track the number of vehicles every day on the streets, particularly ride share, ride hail vehicles . Because i suspect theres a correlation there somehow. I believe nca has some ways to predict or to extrapolate how many vehicles are on our street. And i dont have those numbers. But i know that they do. And i will follow up and see if i can get my hands on those numbers for the next report. I believe that they do. Because we have Traffic Cameras and that type of thing in the city that help with that. But it is a very congested city. And that causes its own set of problems. People get impatient and road rage and the whole thing that adds to that problem. Right. It might be helpful for us to think about this and even address to the extent we can, if we have a better feel for whether thats driving some of the problem. Yes, sir. Anything else, chief . Thats it for my report. Commissioner . No worries. A followup for me, its great that we have the numbers from 2019. Maybe in february or march we can actually get a report. I would like to see what those 41 homicides, which communities they were in. And the same thing with the fatalities for vision zero. I wanted to echo commissioner mazzuccos point about the job that the department is doing. I got an opportunityd to to spend time at a help sf sites and saw a cadet receive an award, so to see the cadets engaging with the Community Speaks to the future of the department so i was excited to see that. I would love to see that maybe in march. Thank you. Well have that ready. Thank you, chief. Okay, next item, please. The firearm discharge board. Review board. Good evening. Good evening.

Chief scott concurred. The following is the open officerinvolved shooting and discharge investigations from 17001 to the most current. Im sorry, to 0019. So these are all open investigations and have indicated where they are still active and administrative investigations relating to each of those cases. Some are just administrative investigation because the criminal investigation has been concluded. Okay. Thank you, deputy chief. I have a question for you. The two cases that you said were not in policy. Do we know whether discipline then followed . Yes, discipline did follow. Okay. Commissioner elias. Thank you. My one request is thank you for presenting on this. The one thing that i am going to ask that next time these are presented in the description summaries that i think the time accounting should also be included. I think its important to sort of see how long the incident takes. [off mic] its crucial in when we look at these scenarios and descriptions you give because most of the time or oftentimes, these incidents happen within seconds. So i think thats an important piece of information that should be included in these reports to give us a better idea. Because i was very confused on the 2016 report, because everything that led up to the use of lethal force is considered not in policy, but then the use of lethal force is in policy. So i think it would be very interesting or informative to see the timing, especially on this incident. Okay. Commissioner dejesus. Question on the same one. The timing is also important. But on the first one that you read. So the first one you read, the second part of it, the use of the eriw was not in policy. [off mic] gasping the knife officer discharged [off mic] all those reasons are also reasons for the shooting. I guess im confused. When they are using less thee that will weapon, they didnt apply the policy but so if we are not creating time and distance, we are charging the person and using a lethal weapon, thats not the ground to be limited or whatever, its just in policy. Its so confusing. Anyone reading this, if they didnt comply with our policy for creating time and space. You have a representative of the commission that sits on these fire discharge review boards, but we dont have a vote. So this is an internal process by the police department, and you report to us, and sometimes it gives the impression that we went along with this or agreed with this or we found this to be in policy. So this is
