homeless is a temporary move, where the person returns shortly after they're removed by police or they're moved across the street. and then this third point is around an inhumane response. according to the declaration of human rights, everyone has a right to an adequate state of living, including housing. in the u.s. 3.5 million people experience the trauma of homelessness each year. a police response can be inhumane. this is not blaming individual police officer r --s, but it's inhumane because of the structural response to the approach. police officers don't have access to housing and treatment. at short, at best, they can move people along. for unhoused people, so much of their time is spent finding a place they can rest out of the way. a place with little stability. when police officers move them, that little bit of stability is rocked. that may be worth it if it's leading people out of homelessness. when it's just moving people from block to block, it can exacerbate behavioral health issues, trauma, homelessness, individuals lose contact with social workers who have housing lined up with them, they may lose contact with the community, belongings, survival gear. the great news is there are alternatives. this is what is so beautiful about this. many municipalities have been moving away from formal police response to homelessness, including in oregon. so it gets dispatched to a contract agency. they have a medical team and medical professionals. in san francisco, developing an alternative, we know this is going to take a long time. this is going to take some time. there are a lot of details to work out. however, the vision is that we can work towards a vision where we have a response to the community. this includes medical personnel, but then leads to, where appropriate, shelter, hospitalization, depending on the situation. that's basically what we're doing with this regulation. we're asking the city and the board of supervisors to develop an alternative response to work towards these results and vision. i want to applaud the chief and just take a moment out for this because this is really amazing and for the commissioners, taking a stand on this and finding alternatives to a police response and really moving us closer to that vision that i think all of us, as president hersh pointed out, that we have a lot of consensus around where this needs to go. i'm going to pause there and if you have any questions. >> thank you and thank you for your work. >> i just want to say thank you. i mean, i know we brought this in october. you did a wonderful report. there were so many community members here that opened our eyes, and then the law changed. i want to thank the chief and president hersh for meeting with you and coming up with this resolution. many of the d.g.o.s asked us to deal with homelessness. this is a good first step in the right direction. the oregon plan looks like it has a lot of hope. i look forward to finally bringing all the community members, groups, and city departments together to work on this and to explore alternatives to a police response, to identify funding sources where appropriate, and to recommend necessary system change and appropriate services. i think this is a great idea and i want to thank everybody for picking up the ball, showing some leadership. i'm really happy to support this resolution tonight. >> it's nice when we're all marching along together happily. [ laughter ]. >> but you know, savor this rare moment. i want to join commissioner hays and ms. freedenbach for thanking everybody. the president, commissioner scott, and everyone working around these issues for, in your case, 25 years now. i didn't realize when i joined the police commission how big an issue policing and homelessness is. but since i've been on here, the issues of homelessness and the challenges that arise from it are at the forefront of this city. having people coming together around us and saying everybody -- and i agree. i think it's not that officers are out there ill-intentioned trying to -- setting up to harass homeless people. but structural issues that you've addressed and policies have created an untenable situation in how we address it. and i think that -- i hope -- i spoke to a reporter today and they said, is this just one of those resolutions that you guys pass and then forget? and i really hope that -- and i would like to be a part of this moving forward, the discussion. because i hope we can find a way to work together to ensure that unhoused individuals on the street are getting the care, servi services, support they need. on the other side of things, i've gone out and seen the hundreds of calls that are waiting up that are related to homeless and houseless individuals on the street. i've ridden with the officers around and it's clear that they were well-intentioned, well-trained officers trying to deal with a situation that they were not the best qualified for. not that they're not excellent officers and qualified in every way that we expect from law enforcement, but this is a different situation. we need social support, social services, access to treatment, access to shelter. so i'm a big supporter and i'm glad that everybody has come together. you know, i know there will be discussions about how best to implement this, but i hope we can all stand together and agree that this is something that this city and this department needs to do. also importantly when we're talking about all of the budget strain that's being placed on this department by having to deploy so many officers to deal with all of these calls that are not public safety issues. you know, i think if we get out of this stakeholders group and come up with some better procedures, we'll end up saving the city millions and millions of dollars in the long run. thank you for all your work, thank you to the coalition and all their supporters. >> thank you. vice president. >> i really want to thank you as well. i remember the presentation in october, it was fantastic and a lot of people put a lot of work coming to this commission on every front. it opened our eyes. everyone knows how hard this problem is, but it's really hard. it's comforting to know there are people out there who are trying to solve it as best we can. i'm sure it will take a long time and this is a plan to have a plan, but it's moving it very much in the right direction. i'm asking that you'll come back and report to the commission. i'm assuming that this will go and as it gets implemented, i would like to hear and continue to hear how things are going. i would ask you to come back and report to the commission. >> thank you very much. i'll be very brief. ms. freedenbach, you've been coming here for a long time. >> today is literally by 25th anniversary. [ laughter ]. >> it's great. our officers should not be responding to these calls. you've put so much time and effort into this. i'll be brief. you are a modern-day saint, for what you've done for the city. [ applause ]. >> somebody said, she does this for the money. i turned and said, do you know how much they get paid? it's greatly appreciated. >> the reason we moved this up on the agenda is i know you're being celebrated for your 25th anniversary and we'll get you out soon. is there any public comment before we vote on this resolution? it's public comment only on the resolution. what was that? >> how much time do we get? >> two minutes. >> my name is neil shaw. i've been through the criminal justice system, i'm sober for four years. i have been homeless. i have a degree. i was also the c.o. congratulations, jenny. i don't know why you don't mention that alternative that has existed for four years in san francisco and it's called concern. it doesn't exist anymore. it was an alternative for 911 for people. we sent out compassion responders to de-escalate. i met with chief scott and i'm indicting you on this, chief, because we met multiple times to divert calls to organizations like concern. so this plan to have a plan, we already got a plan and the technology. this already exists. i'm starting a community investment trust to start purchasing real estate in west oakland. i'm going to offer dominik walker and the two kids that were homeless that occupied a house that the police pulled guns on to get them out of and i already e-mailed them to get out of as soon as possible. i'm using my personal money to do that. i'm indicting every single one of you. i pay your salary. i'm sick and tired of you patting yourselves on the damn back. so get with the picture. >> any other public comment? okay. public comment is closed. is there a motion to approve the resolution? >> so moved. >> second. >> yes, commissioner. >> really quick. i did want to point out in the third clause, i'm happy to adopt the resolution. in the first sentence, whereas the united states interagency council on homelessness issued, we need to need an "issued" out. and also in the fourth clause -- >> yeah, there's two "issues." and also in the fourth clause. "whereas the city of county of san francisco." i think it should be "city and county of san francisco." >> thank god somebody can read here. on the question all in favor of passing the resolution? any opposed? it carries unanimously. thank you all. [ applause ]. >> okay. we're going to go back now to the presentation on family code 6228 quarterly report. >> good evening. >> good evening, commissioners. president, vice commissioner, director. greg yee, i have a report tonight pursuant to department general order 3.16, department providing the police commission report that details the department's compliance with releasing california family code 6228 incident reports. this report will cover the supplemental numbers from september of 2019 in addition to the fourth quarter of 2019. on the screen are the september numbers. in september of 3,481 police reports requested by the community, 54 fell under the provisions of family code 6228. of those 54, all those report requests were fulfilled within five days. the majority of the report requests were made in person and the majority of the reports were domestic violence report related. on the back of the report of september will show there are no reports that were denied and that the majority of reports were made by the victims themselves and the average time was a little over a day that the department responded to requests under family code 6228. as we look at the fourth quarter of 2019, again in 49 reports in october, 37 in november, 25 in december. again, the majority of the reports were made in person and the majority of the reports were domestic violence related. again winning no reports were denied. and again, the majority of the reports were made by the victims themselves. and still under the last quarter of 2019, it took a little over a day for these reports to get returned and available to the requesters. we do track -- although not required, we do track the forms of how the requests are being made. the majority of reports requests are made in english, but also the spanish population has also been using the forms to request these forms. going forward in 2020, we will get back on schedule where the first quarter of 2020, that report will be delivered to the commission on april 15 and then subsequently the following squad car -- quarter of july. >> any comments? vice president. >> i just want to say, i was on this working with commissioner hamisaki and this is fantastic. this is both helpful information to have and it's great to see how quickly the department is filling these requests and helping domestic violence victims get results. i want to thank you and commend you again. >> commissioner tailor is still in my line. just, we sat through a working group together and came to agreement on a form and a procedure and the reporting requirement. i think to see this actually come out now and to see that we are actually in compliance within five days of all of them in the reporting period i think is really impressive. thank you for your report on this, and we look forward to the next quarterly report. >> okay. thank you. next line item. anything else on the chief's report or is that it? >> if i could just thank both the commissioners that were on this. this was a pretty long process, and i think again it shows the work that we can do with the department of police accountability and our many groups in the community who were very concerned about this. we have staff in the room who were a big part of this behind the scenes. so i just want to thank everybody for actually making this come together. we still have work to do, but we'll enjoy this and continue to move forward. >> thank you. next item, please. >> line 1 b. d.p.a. director's report. report on recent d.p.a. activities and announcements. d.p.a. ooess 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 these issues raised for a future commission meeting. >> director henderson, welcome. >> we are at 23 cases so far that have been opened this year. these numbers are also up from last year. this time last year, this early in the year, we were at 21 cases. so far this year we've closed 49 cases. this year we've closed only 33 cases. we've tried to keep up with the increased volume by keeping these cases closed. we still have 339 cases that are open and pending. this time last year we had 229 cases that were open and pending. this is a reflection of the volume that has increased. so far this year we have sustained two cases. at the same time last year we had not sustained any cases. in terms of the cases that are passed at the nine-month mark, we are at 24 cases. of those 24 cases, 10 were told cases. we've had three cases that have been mediated this year, which is the same number of cases we mediated last year. in terms of the 1421, i have no new statistics to report since last week, but i just wanted to mention that we have interviews scheduled over the last two weeks for the 1421 paralegal finally. so that's where we are in the process. after they were released, we're trying to get those folks in as quickly as we can. in terms of mediation, for outreach, we expanded our presence and the mission, what we had talked about last week was many of the flyers were testing to see where our information is being picked up and where we're running out of. a lot of the spanish language information about the d.p.a. in the mission area was running out a little more quickly. so we put more of our information in different locations, the women's building, the reinvestment coalition, the native american health center. our information can be found there now. we just did that this month. we also met with, and this is a new initiative or a partnership, expansion, affiliation, with pre-trial diversion and we can see how we can be working better with them to have our information available through our work as well. we also participated in northern stations community meeting last week. that's it for my update. for the audience in case there are issues that come up, i have my staff. our new investigators are also here in the audience tonight to he help. >> can we see their hands? >> yes. >> [ overlapping speakers ] -- >> that's what i said. >> welcome here. >> and cory-ann is here. barceloni? barcelone. these are the new investigators. >> you're all going to have to give him a phonetic spelling of your name. >> welcome. >> any questions? >> i don't see any. thank you, mr. henderson. >> line item 1c. commission reports. commission reports will be limited to a brief description of activities and announcements. commission discussion will be limited to determining whether to calendar any of the issues raised for a future commission meeting. commission president's report. commissioners' reports. >> i don't have any reports. >> just briefly. this week one of the days, i met with the deaf and hard-of-hearing working group that has been working on the new d.g.o. and working through some final comments that came through the d.o.j. process. and i think we are about done and hope to have it to this commission soon. so i think that's going to be a pretty exciting d.g.o. that we adopt. >> thank you. anybody else? okay. next item. >> item 1 d. commission announcements and scheduling of items identified for consideration at future commission meetings people waiting -- action. >> we have one. >> what type of cases, the majority of cases being referred and the race of individuals being referred. >> we'll have to get that to staff to articulate that. chief, do you know, are there d.g.o.s directly on that point? >> there are or is a d.g.o. o on -- when we work with federal agencies, it has to go through a process that includes a chain of command approval up through the deputy chief. in terms of the filing of cases, i don't believe there are any d.g.o.s on policy. >> i've never seen that. >> but we have d.g.o.s on federal cooperation. >> i do want to look into policy. >> that will get into an vend. next item. >> as a reminder, the police commission meeting is scheduled for wednesday, february 5, 2020. the public is invited to comment on items 1 a through 1 d. >> any public comment? only on items we've discussed so far. >> klein item 3, presentation of the department budget process overview for fiscal year 2020/21 and 2021/22. >> good evening. i understood this is a relatively short presentation on the budget and next month we will have a more detailed presentation on the budget, correct? >> correct. >> i do appreciate it because last year it was a problem. we were rushed and i felt like there wasn't enough time. so i do appreciate you and executive director maguire giving us greater time for this year's budget. >> good evening, chief scott, president hersh, vice president, commissioners. my name is patrick leon. i am the chief financial officer for the san francisco police department. in tonight's presentation i'll be going over the budget process and the steps the department will undertake as we develop our budget for fiscal year 2020/21 and fiscal year 2021/22. in this presentation we'll be including a brief overview of the city's budget process, the budget development timeline, the department's internal budget priority development process, and defining the various budget phases. we'll first go over the budget requirements. city departments must submit a two-year budget proposal by february 21. this is required by the san francisco code 3.31 a. so our fiscal year 2020/21, 2021/22 is scheduled for february 12. that is when we will put our anticipated budget submission. the commission must adopt those budgets before february 21. that is our submission deadline. in terms of budget timelines and phases. this is where the commission issues budget timelines and the ujt system is open. february 21 is the due date for the department budget submission. in march and april is where the mayor's office works with city departments to fund new policies and projects. may 31 the mayor publishes the budget. in early june, the budget legislative analysts reviews the budget and makes recommendations. in june the budget and finance committee holds budget hearings and solicits public input. in july the full board of supervisors adopts the final board-adjusted budget. so in determining our fiscal year 2020/21 base budget, it's derived from our current budget. back in 2012, the city adopted a two-year budget cycle for all departments. so in our approved budget cycle for 2019/20, it includes an estimate for fiscal year 2020/21. this becomes the base starting point for our budget 2020/21. this following pie graph represents our funding resources. the majority of our funding is derived from general funds. the airport provides an additional 11% of our source of funding. services to other department represents another 3%. and special revenues and general fund projects represents approximately 1% each. diving into each of the areas. within our general fund operating budget, it's split up into various categories. salaries and categories represent the total budget at 85%. professional services and other payments represent 2.5%. and examples include non-city rent, contracting services, material and supplies represent less than 1% of our budget. these things include at some times such as uniform safety equipment, office supplies. equipment represents about 1% of our budget and items like patrol cars and safety equipment, that's over $5,000. the last item is services paid to other departments. these are services that are work orders and these include items such as city rent and utilities, phone and network infrastructure, that goes to the department of technology. in total, our budget for the current year is $900,000. in fiscal year 2021, there is an increase to $612 million. and the majority of this increase is related to cost of living adjustments that's negotiated between the city in the employee unions. our other budgets, general project expenditures is approximately $10 million in the current year. special revenues, these include state mandates such as our vehicle theft crimes misunderstand and it also includes state and federal grants. this totals about $8 million. our work order represents services that we provide to other departments for police services. and then lastly the airport fund is about $78 million in the current year and it jumps to $100 million for next year. that increase is due to their anticipated -- the increase of officers that they're anticipating us to be able to send to the airport. if we aren't able to meet all of our recruitment efforts, we won't be able to actually send as many officers there. that number is budgetary and may not reflect what is actually expended. in total, over 90% of our department budget is for positions. and as i said before, the increases between fy2019/20 and fiscal year 2020/21, there is a $46 million increase. that's attributable to cost of living increases and the increase in the airport fund budget. identifying department budget priorities for fiscal year 2020/21. we started this process by conducting and holding several internal meetings including all hands on deck meeting to help identify top priorities for each bureau. with this process, it included captains, commanders, deputy chiefs, assistant chiefs, and directors of each units for them to be able to provide their feedback in our budget process. the next step is outlining the priorities they've identified in our strategic plan and outlining the priorities with the mayor priorities. reviewing budget request. and lastly, balancing our budgetary needs versus our budgetary limits. and this is a framework that we're using to develop our budget. for our department timeline, today we're showing that our budgetary process is that on february 12 we scheduled a meeting to present to the commission our budget phase proposal. on february 21, this is our due date to submit our budget to the mayor's office. march through may is where enhancement requests are presented to the mayor. in june 2020, we'll come back and we'll provide the commission with an update on the mayor's phased budget. and in august we'll provide the commission with an update on the board-adopted budget. with that, that concludes my presentation. >> next month, we'll get the actual proposed budget? >> that's correct. >> i've heard that departments in the city are being asked to cut their budgets. is that correct? >> that's correct. the mayor's office instructions to department is to cut 3.5%. this year and to try and cut an additional 3.5% the following years. so it's compounded and it's 7% for next year. >> do you know if that's true for all departments, not just the police department? >> it's the budget instructions for all departments. it's still -- we're still early in the budget process. the -- >> it's a wrestling match? >> yeah. >> just quickly. one of the things in budget is equipment. the state of our fleet of cars is embarrassing and it's a public safety concern. it's dangerous. a young officer sent me of a picture of an old crown victoria that has a bullet hole and the door is falling off a bit. there are not well-intentioned moves by members of our board. i stress that this commission pushes. it is a dangerous issue for the officers. we need new vehicles. >> vice president. >> to point to specifically where i think it is on this presentation that you gave us. i mean, it says that 1% i think of the budget gets put towards equipment and next year it's contemplated to cut that in half, so next year a half a percent is going to go towards the cars. is that right? >> that's currently the base budget. ultimately with the budget submission as we go through this process, those numbers will change. we'll have more final numbers to present in approximately a month's time. but that number is the starting point. that number will change. >> i mean, 1% is bad as it is, but cutting a 0.5% is concerning. along the similar lines, this increase in airport fees, given that there is not enough money for basic safety equipment, is there enough need to transfer people to the airport that would justify a 20 -- what was the number? the increase in the airport fund from 78 to 100 million. >> so the airport budget is -- >> okay. i take that back. all good then. we're good. so we get this on february 12 and we have to vote on february 21. are we meeting on february 19? >> we're going to have to vote on the 12. if we could get it well in advance, that would help us to study it. we're meeting in a station on the 19th, so we won't be able to take this up. >> i wanted to make sure that we have enough time and comfort with the numbers and what you're presenting. i would request it well in advance if you can. >> we'll try to make that happen. >> another request i have, chief, and for both of you. if you can get us some specifics about the vehicles on the 12th. this commission can make a special request to the mayor's office and to the board of supervisors is they seriously consider funding far more vehicles than we have. we just need some information on that. >> yes, sir, we'll do that. >> that would be great. >> this one officer i was talking to was driving a car older than him. that's a fact. >> was he 11? >> [ overlapping speakers ] -- >> i was going to mention the cars. we don't get enough money to replace the cars or extra. my concern is a lot of this is salary and benefits. my concern is with the infrastructure. my concern is i.t. infrastructure. you know, we have all these -- the department that hit us up and said we can't talk and pull all the personnel records and keep track of personnel and training and put this together for the e.i.s. system. all of that costs money. so i'm assuming that's in the payments for other license contracting. i could be wrong. do we have any plans to upgrade or to buy programs for i.c. does that make sense? you know what i'm asking? >> yes, ma'am. those things are on our list of priorities. so we have to work through, as was stated in the presentation, the limits of the budget compared to what we need. so we'll be working through that. but that is -- particularly you mentioned e.i.s. and the other technology needs are on the forefront of our ask. >> i would like to know your priority list, where is it on that priority list, is it five, 10, 15, 20, how far down is it or high? >> technology i believe is number two. our top priorities, technology is one of those three. i think it was listed as second. they're all important, but technology is definitely in the top three. >> good evening, commissioners, executive director katherine flyer. we'll be presenting all of that information on the 12th. hopefully we can get you in advance a little bit more detail. just a note on equipment and budgets. [ please stand by ] >>. >> vice president taylor: can we also divvy up the salary so how much we know is the salary and how much is the overtime? >> yes. salaries are a separate line item -- a salary, from overtime budget. >> commissioner dejesus: and we can see how much he's over the overtime budget. >> president hirsch: okay. thank you both very much. next line item, please. >> clerk: public comment on-line item 3. >> president hirsch: okay. we're ready for public comment on the line item. >> yeah. the public would like to have advance notice on it so we can review it. >> president hirsch: okay. thank you. any other public comment on the budget? all right. seeing none, next item, please. >> clerk: line item 5. discussion and possible action to approve revised department general or the, discussion and possible action. >> president hirsch: okay. good evening. >> hello, president hirsch, commissioners, and others, i am the chair of the bias working group. as a result of the d.o.j. report on the san francisco police department, we began reviewing d.o.j. 1107 in june 2019, and we finished our work in november 2019. on behalf of the san francisco police department and the bias working group, i am pleased to present d.g.o. 1107 to the commission. the changes to the general order which have been tracked for your convenience on the copies as well as there's some for the public, as well, can be broken-down into five categories. one, new language that reiterates the sfpds to fair and equal treatment of all its members and its ethical and legal obligations to treat all individuals with dignity and respect. two, new language to reflect current federal, state, and local laws and ordinances. three, clarification of and improvement of -- improvement to sfpd procedures. four, expanding definitions and including new definitions. and five, inclusion of a new section, mandatory training that outlines the mandatory d.h.r. approving training for all members. i want to thank the members of the bias working group, commissioners taylor and elias, and the california d.o.j., director linda simon from d.h.r. and chief scott for their dedication throughout the process of drafting this report that sfpd can be proud of. with that, i'm available for any questions if you have any on 1107. >> president hirsch: thank you, and thank you for this. i know that rachel kilshaw watches this every wednesday, and i want to thank the commissioners for the long work that they've done on this. commissioner elias? >> commissioner elias: i think who should be added to this are the community members and the working group that were extremely diligent. and have this d.g.o. right when it went into concurrent after the chief gave us his comments was probably the most productive working group i've seen. it was well received. i really appreciated, chief, how you took the time to sort of go over it and send your comments back to the working group and keep them informed as to what changed you made and what you were thinking. so i really think that the community -- that the working group members really did appreciate that, and i know that d.h.r. had a lot of the input, and the community -- or the working group members were able to sort of respond and they could be heard in this process. so thank you, and thank you to the working group members as well as commissioner taylor and myself. >> president hirsch: thank you. director henderson? >> one thing that i wanted to prove, this covers the sworn and the civilian members of sfpd, so i think that's an important point to know. and d.p.a. was an active member of a working group. we just wanted to say, because we put a lot of work into this, that we appreciated the input that came from the obligation we see reflected in the final policy, and we see how well the collaboration process was for this d.g.o. so thank you for the hard work to the group and to the commissioners. >> commissioner elias: and i apologize. summer was vital for giving the input and recommending some of the changes. >> she wrote what i just said, just so i'm clear. >> president hirsch: commissioner hamasaki?

>> yes. so law enforcement assisted diversion, so effectively, it's a person who could be prosecuted for various crimes but instead are diverted from prosecution. so we looked at some of the data, and this chart, it was straight -- the racial composition of all the l.e.a.d. individuals in 2019. in other words, all those who not only participated in l.e.a.d. but who could have. black and latinx individuals comprise about 19%, whites comprised about 38%. the next chart shows those who actually did participate in l.e.a.d. that 56% black and latinx majority of all l.e.a.d. individuals trims to 40% while the white was almost half. the final chart here, shows a much different image. as you can see, those are people who were not referred to l.e.a.d. based on an assessment by the public defender -- >> president hirsch: all right. your time is up. i know you have other folks from your office. commission commissioner dejesus, did you have a question? >> commissioner dejesus: yes. i'm -- so the first chart -- oh, the number of people. >> exactly. >> commissioner dejesus: okay. so she could have answered that. >> commissioner elias: but i have asked to agendaize this because i think it's an important -- >> president hirsch: that's all right. we'll get an agenda item on it. >> okay. that was my final ask to please agendaize it. >> president hirsch: all right. next speaker, please. >> magic altman. good evening. >> president hirsch: good evening. >> as you all know, jamaica hilton's leg was amputated. he will never be the same. he had found his footing in the world. apparently, he relapsed, and that is the incident that resulted in him being hunted like prey and shot eight times, three entering his young body. it's a tragedy that could have been avoided if time and distance would have been used. but instead, a young officer used pepper spray. he should have stepped back. his partner should have modelled the correct use of force policy, but instead, we watched in horror as the officers continued to raebleac that overrode all humane compassion and behavior. neither of these officers should be armed and on the streets. i call on the commission to change policy around rookie police and make sure that they are told to stand down in such tense situations. a witness also who was -- his drone was confiscated, i e-mailed the chief, i talked to christine, i talked to o'connor. he just wants his drone back, and there's no guarantee that he can get his drone back without being assaulted and accosted. if you want to subpoena him, subpoena him. give him a guarantee that he can come and get his own property back. thank you. >> president hirsch: thank you. next speaker. >> good evening. my name is fabian hernandez and i'm a medical student at ucsf, and i'm a member of do no harm. we have been by jamaica's side since he was shot. we were there when he was in critical condition and intubated. we were there when he could first speak, and we were there when his leg was amputated, and we would like to stand with jamaica and his family tonight. jamaica hampton was on the street with an unbroken glass bottle. he was struck three times, shot seven times. he was shot while he was on the ground. >> president hirsch: thank you. next speaker. >> hi. my name is nathan ken. i am a do no harm coalition member, also a senior medical student at ucsf. a lot of this has been about lack of sufficient training. that's not an excuse. his training officer, you can see him tell florez to stop, stop, stop. he was already -- he is already under disclaimer review for the brutal beating of jeffrey kilroy in 2018 after which he was caught laughing. chief scott, you have the power to fire officer florez. you know that even without a police commission hearing, and especially if you think this goes against department policy. you did this once before for officer christopher ulloa. fire officer florez. >> hi. my name is christine, and i'm a member of the do no harm coalition. we know that police involved shootings are a public health issue, and we see the impact in our clinic. and in addition to the excellent points brought up, we want to highlight that these continued shootings cause trauma for the community, and as we saw at the community meeting several weeks ago, there's a lot of unhealed trauma. and deciding to put the officers back on the streets and reinstate them will send a very clear message to the community that their safety is not being prioritized. and any decision that comes out of the department needs to be done with that in mind. how can we work to undo the legacy of over 100 police involved shootings in the last 20 years that has made the community afraid, devastated, upset, and not feeling listened to, and not feeling safe? let me just remind myself of the other point i was going to say -- oh, we also want to make sure that any further discussion about the reinstatement of these officers does not take place in a closed session and involves the community members more proactively and involves jamaica hampton's family, as well. thank you. >> president hirsch: thank you. next speaker, please. >> i don't have any complaints today, first of all. i just want to say, i'm honored to stand in front of our police commissioners, executive director, paul henderson of d.p.a., and chief william scott. i'm here to announce that the officers for justice has had their elections of officer, and i stand before you again as the president of the officers for justice. [applause] >> president hirsch: congratulations. >> this evening, we did have some of our board members here. unfortunately, they had to leave. there's one that's still left here, and we just want to say that first and foremost, we would be honored to have our police commissioners and the executive director of d.p.a. to march with us on m.l.k. day, which is monday at 11:00 a.m. and also, i stand before you because the officers for justices wants to assure you that we are still committed to social justice and equity for all, and we are offering our services once again based upon the department of status of woman report that we heard last week. we are more committed to the fact that recruitment should still be done by o.s.j. we know how to recruit black and brown women, and we know how to recruit women. so we're offering our services to the police department, and we also want to let you know that we will be coming back again, and we're prepared to do the hard work and volunteer when needed. thank you so much. >> president hirsch: thank you, lieutenant. >> commissioner dejesus: congratulations. >> commissioner elias: yes, congratulations. can you make sure we get the report? >> president hirsch: good evening. >> good evening. i'd like to use the overhead. i'm here about my son, aubrey abrokasa, who was murdered in august 2014. i lost my investigator. i don't know who to call, who's my investigator, and i believed last time that someone would tell me something today because it's been a while since i was told. and during christmas wasn't the time to tell me. my son loved christmas, but i still need an investigator. he gave me some names, but i don't even know who they are. and i need to talk to them, and i need them to look up my son's case and see what's going on. i still need help. i still bring my pictures because i want you to know what you're going through. my and my son just here in his casket, and what they left me with, his body. and i come here every wednesday, hoping to get some justice for my son. i need another investigator on this case, and i need to know who they are. thank you. >> president hirsch: chief, can we get an investigator's name to miss brown tomorrow or by the end of the week, let's say? >> yes. and i had a conversation with investigations, so it was my understanding that you would be notified, but i apologize if we didn't get that to you. an investigator has been called -- or assigned to your case, so i'll make sure that -- >> okay.
