Little bit more than 50 . Some sections have a little bit less than 50 . And that was for december. As of today, june 2020, we have surpassed 50 . Every station in the San FranciscoPolice Department has more than 50 of their officers trained. It is a hard task to do. When we talk about training and how we get this training going, i know back in 2016 we had a few incidents that pushed this Program Forward and asked the department to look back and see what else we can do to improve the program. And took over the program in 2015, we had 250 officers that were trained in c. I. T. As of right now we have over 1200 officers and 40 hours. I think thats a big statement that the department has done as far as how much we care about our officers providing the training that they need. Not only do we do that every time we do the training but we want to get the best of the best. So a little history on this, we have people that volunteer, and do not get paid to come and train our officers. So honestly, i depended a lot on their specials in what else they were doing in their lives and if they have time for the Police Department, they will come and do the training. We were holding about three or four trainings a year. After 2016, we revamped the program and i asked the commission at that time to let me pick the people for the program. I know there is a lot of good people out there, but i have people in mind. And he was gracious enough to say pick whoever you want for the program and i was able to get my unit. And that is sergeant anderson, sergeant colleen, and several others. This team really cares what about they do. They care about the officers and care about the community. And theyre collective their collective effort has made the program what it is. You can see by the numbers and i want to remind you best practice is 20 of the force should be trained. We are over 50 . And i know chief scott promised to the commission and made a commit tonight the commission to train 100 of the department. But that is what takes time and money. So with that said, we are still doing it and because of the pandemic, we had to cancel a coup of trainings. And as of right now, we have rescheduled the training. We had a training scheduled for march and may and unfortunately dedidnt do it, but i asked my two sergeants and they have been able to reschedule the training and will make up the classes. I think its important to do that. The officers really want the training. And its great and once again, i am asking you guys to come and join us. Please come and sit with us and see what the officers are learning and how we have this off the wall conversations about what really is going on out there. And to hear the realities in the street. A lot of people dont know what officers go through and once you come and sit down with them and they understand what the process is and what it takes to be a Police Officer and now days. And you understand a little bit more about our officers. And get their perspective for how things are being done and what they need to do. Like i said, always room for improvement but once again, come to the training and come and ride with us so you get to know who we are and how we do the training, and my unit and how rerun the training. We do home visits. We go to peoples houses. During the pandemic, it was a little bit challenging because there was so much going on. And sometimes because of what was going on, the department of Public Health didnt go out with us. And we talked to the officers and it was up to the do the well being checks on people who are not taking the medications and by diagnosis and they are bipolar or schizophrenic and have a monthly medication and usually we assist the Public Health nurses to go and do there, but officers were creating time and waiting for the nurse and to make sure the nurse is safe when they do this process. And go check on people that were not taking their meds. We go check on kids that were acting out in the house because they were locked up in the house and had nowhere to go. So it was very difficult time. We had a list of the unit and to the officers who had to do it and they kept doing it. Can you move on . Next slide. So to hyland light the c. I. T. Program that you pass on december 221, 2016 and you, the commission, adopted this policy along with the use of force policy. They are married to each other. They call this the same, sanctitity of life. And that is what we strive for mt. Police department and value life. We all value life. And that is the message when we do the program and have an officer in each district session and the primary duty is to identify people that might have personality issue, or constantly calling 911. We work with e. M. S. To help the folks and set up appointments with the department of Public Health and to get the resources they need. That is important and is good to have two officers assigned to the duties and is something they do above and beyond every day with the regular duties. And they send reports back to us and call us and say i went to jeremys house and he is acting out and hasnt taken his meds. Can you do a field visit . That is how it is supposed to work. We want to be preventive and proactive instead of reactive. Having this program is an awesome tool for the San FranciscoPolice Department. And we are responding more often. And we work along with clinicians and have m. O. U. That is still in the final stages that would allow me to have at least two or three commissions work with my officers hand in hand. We saw this working in l. A. And it worked wonders with the Mental Health unit. They have 52 clinicians and 104 officers that go out every day. Obviously l. Amenta. Is bigger than San Francisco. We are not at that level yet, but we have were a different level and we need the services. So we are still working on that. There is a lot of things to get through with technology, confidentiality, and so forth. We are still in the process of accomplishing that, but i think that will become a reality in San Francisco. Hopefully sooner than later. Move to the next slide. That is the liaison program. And so Mental Health and mental ill sns not a crime. We all understand that. And officers are responding to the calls. And we have created a road map for officers to follow. If this is just the Mental Health issue, you can see how that happens and if there is a crime involved and a misdemeanor and you cite the person and take it into treatment. And she or she will go to jail because of the crime that has been commit and my officers will contact the services and the department of Public Health and so as soon as we know that a person is arrested, it has over because of a crime in Mental Health, and the Mental Health component, and we will alert them and let us know when he gets released. And so were apprised of what is going on and work with family and the special person will have support service and a network to contact our clinicians if they live in a certain neighborhood, we can contact the neighborhood clinic and continue Getting Services and continue taking the medications. I know a lot of people think that a person needs to take the medications to do well. It is more complicated than that. And when people say just take your meds, quote, unquote, it doesnt work like that. A lot of the psychiatric medications have various effects and make you gain weight, make you impotent, and really make you like a zombie, so why do you want to live like that . People choose not to take medications and live the way they are or because of the illness, and in that sometimes leads to crisis. That is a choice they make. And sometimes that choice we have to address it. We have to address it with treatment and we have to address it with a. L. T. And so there are options that we have and where we can guide people through the treatment process. That is ou goal in the c. I. T. And in the training and the training for 2020. And the special permit and i know we were already looking at some days and making out the glasses. And we are on target to do these sessions. Im wondering if we have so few officers of colour and theres such an imbalance between the white officers and im looking for why there are so few black officers. Commissioner, i dont have an answer other than i can tell you we recruiting heavily in africanamerican communities and have gone to black colleges and out of the city. The city population is small in terms of the africanamerican, 5 . Were statewide recruiting across the country and were going to keep trying to recruit africanamericans and other groups of color. But right now, just recruiting is a challenge overall right now and its even more of a challenge with the africanamericans. indiscernible . Im wondering what impact and maybe you havent come to the conclusions, but what impact that will have on everything you said. I think thats a great idea. So do i. Its an awesome idea to have that, just by the definition when you check on the wellbeing, thats an officer going to check on somebodys wellbeing and if the person is in Mental Health crisis, as Police Officers, we look at safety. Thats something we discuss in the training, on how we have to go through seven months of training, close to seven months now and how safety is looked at to every call that we go to. I was taught to always have a gun with every call you go to and we treat that with respect. When you have a person in crisis, you might be the trigger to that person. That uniform might trigger that reaction and so having Mental Health specialist or a social worker assigned to these calls would be an awesome idea. I would be welcomed with the Police Department and i think the chief expresses his desire to have that. Now theres a lot of considerations that you have to take, right . Because when you get to those call, you dont know what actually is going on because youre not there until you get there. The information that is provided, it just is provided to you through the 911 call taker and then the 911 dispatcher and theres a twoway process on those calls. And so we have to look into that. My unit has been working in putting something together, especially around safety and what kind of calls we think will be appropriate for Mental Health specialist go to. But not to deviate, we need treatment facilities. Thats what we need. The Mental Health system is a broken system and im just saying that, because im reflecting the frustration that our officers have on the street. We need a Treatment Facility that specializes in Mental Health and substance abuse. We need a place for our officers to take these people that are suffering from an organic Mental Health issue or for chemicalinduced psychosis, to be triaged and a followup appointment and given medication, especially if theyre homeless. How will they follow up. How do they know to keep their appointment the next day . We need Something Like that and we have suggested in the past a Justice Center that heals and there was a proposal done a few years back and we asked for that. Instead of the jail, we asked for funding to create that system here in San Francisco. Florida has it, how can we not have it here . How can we not have a facility where we can take people that are in Mental Health distress or chemical induced distress . We need that and i understand the call was ring responding but where do you take them . You take something to a Mental Health assessment, sometimes theyre out of the er before our officers come back to the station. That needs to change. It needs to change. We can no longer do this. Officers are frustrated because as a Police Officer, you go to those calls and you says the person and you believe that he or she needs a Mental Health evaluation and they need the treatment they deserve. Unfortunately, theyre released in four to six hours and that brings a lot of frustration. So when we talk about social workers and clinicians going to these calls, we have to address them, where will they take them and what will happen . How will we connect to the services . Thats the plain, simple reality in the streets right now for our officers. We dont have places to take them. Talkinjust to give you an examp, Police Officers get called to a Mental Health clinic that provides assessment and triage to going to elevate a person having a crisis and how does that happen . How can a Mental Health clinic call a San FranciscoPolice Officer to go to an evaluation and to remove that person from the clinic and take him to a local hospital for assessment . Theyre supposed to be doing that. Our officers get called to do that and transport the person to er and then a few hours later, the person says, hey, im still suicidal, i was kicked out and they have to go to another hospital. That needs to change. We need to change the system. Its not working. So when we talk about officers not doing this or that, we have to look at the system and, unfortunately, were in the frontline on Mental Health we we havhave to look at the rooted problems with humbold mental hed the lack of facilities. Thats something the civilian group i work with, who are awesome, by the way, and they want to change that. They want to get behind this effort that we need to provide treatment facilities. Im sorry, im getting off topic here. Ill ask you to come back and present and i 100 agree that officers should not be the firstline reimportanterresponsr homelessness and bringing a gun to those types of situations and sending to people to jail is a stopgap measure with to place to take them does nothing to solve the underlying issue. I agree with you and im ask you to followup once the mayors proposal for a decree is implemented. I have other commissioners that want to ask questions and i dont want to take all of the time. Commissioner hamasaski . Thank you for the presentation. Good evening. So, you know, nobody has mentioned her name yet, but this is all a program that started under one of our former commissioners, angela chan. She was the president at the time. And i dont know if she was the president , but angela, this was her baby. Angela told me many times about all of the work that was put into this and getting this up and i notice shes still proud of the work that she did in bringing this to San Francisco. And i know commissioner de jesus was a big advocate, fighting for it back in the day, which reminds us how long commissioner de jesus has been on this commission. So let me ask you a couple of questions. Slide three is a really helpful chart because following up on commission taylors point, you know, theres 50,000 calls that the Police Respond to and it seems like theres a very, very small percentage of them that are primarily policing calls. Is that fair to say . Yes. Its fair to say, commissio com, once you see the breakdown, some of the calls, the person might be gone already or the person is not able to be located. I broke down at the end of the year report, youll have the breakdown on that, the section with the data and the statistics and now that was broken down. But yes, youre right, some of the calls should be handled by somebody else other than an officer. Shouldnt it be most of those calls . I would say the majority, yes. You have to have a criteria, right . And as a matter of fact, i want to share this with you, im a part of the task force that the mayor started a few months before and were looking at this. We were looking at how we can respond to those calls using civilians instead of officers and we had the wheel going on this. I think what transpired, it just catapulted this innovation and this reform and i think this is a great idea to continue with it. Thats great. Whats the task force . I hadnt heard about that one . Yeah, it was with the department of Public Health, the Police Department and some members of the department, Public Health, Behavioral Services and we are looking at analyzing police reports. Look at the police reports. Because we have to look back and we have to analyze the information and then, we will come up with a recommendation of that criteria and so when the 311 call taker or 911 call taker can make the best decision according to the information given to them. Are you working with the department of Emergency Management . I belong to the cat work group and the department of dem is part of that group and we meet monthly and we have a representative from the Training Division that comes to those meetings. Thats how we created the criteria for cit and i think thl new, having civilians respond. So i have to contact my contact, dem, trying to schedule meetings and see how we can work together. I said that to the chief today, we need partnership. Its not only the department of Public Health, we need hsa and we need all different City Partners to get this. We cannot do this by ourselves. I dont think anyone imagines the dph will be staffed to take over the 50,000 calls tomorrow, but, yeah, i think this is something that a lot of people have been working on for awhile and im glad to see that youve gotten involved. And so, let me ask you this, does the mobile Crisis Response team, is that a part of cit . So, mobile thats for mobile crisis and i think Crisis Response and they united all of the services and i dont want to speak for dph, right, but the clinicians that i work with, theyre invention specialists and it was created back in 2016, the department of Public Health to create five positions that include a clinician or college to work with the Police Department to respond to calls of people in crisis. And so i would say to participate during the interviews, i interviewed candidates with members of the department of Public Health and we will be able to at least higher four of them. Is it still operational . Is it still in place, the mobile Crisis Response . Yes, they are. They are operational. I dont want to misquote the hours but i think they start at 8 00 a. M. To 10 00 p. M. And they go on Call Services and so they have a number. So for members that are listening, their number is 415 9704000. So if youre in a crisis, you can call it directly and they have people that clinicians and workers that get dispatched. I think the time frame is 45 minutes. Just to be clear, so i understand these numbers, only 132 of them were weapons or potential for violence out of the 50,840, correct . Yes. The dispatcher had that information. Thats what it says on the power point. So thats the number from dem. But talking to dispatchers, because they have to follow the criteria, right, and the information that is being given to them matches the criteria, then they label the call as such. I understand. And so sometimes officers get there and they might b there mia weapon before the officers get there and the calls never get changed and thats something were working on. I do believe it should be a higher number but thats the number three is recorded by dem. Ill pass it on to commissioner elias. Yes, thank you. I wanted to thank and congratulate Sergeant Molina on this program because i think that oftentimes its overlooked how much work and effort that he puts into this, to make this Program Successful and continuing to be successful. So thank you and congratulations. I look to forward to attending one of the cit awards and it was eyeopening and a phenomenal experience. Whats telling is how you described, Sergeant Molina is the generalized assumptions and labels put on people with Mental Health and this fallacy if they take their medication, it will be all better and if they take medication, theyll get well and all they have to do is take medication. And some of the side effects you just described are very real to people which, unfortunately, the reality is that medication doesnt fix it. It doesnt make it go away. So i think the fact that you can come out here and acknowledge that and put it out there, i think thats extremely valuable. Message that needs to be put out into the public. The question i had, didn and it know if its for you or the chief, but with respect to the budget that is coming and the tightening of the budget that the department has to do, is this going to effect the cits ability to have officers trained in cit in the 40hour course . I know you said there were more than 40 people there. indiscernible . As of right now, my understanding is were not cut back on anything but, obviously, i will refer to the chief to make those statements and talk about the budget. But my assurance is that our training will be still going forward. It makes no sense to go backwards. We have gone through so much and i know chief scott is 100 behind my program. We have talked about it and so i can only see this going forward. Ill answer that, commissioner. We do not plan to cut this training. Its vital and we know the positive impact and outcomes that evacuee seen over the years and so that is not something we plan to do. I wish you luck and i know you will get us there and thank you again, Sergeant Molina. Youre welcome. Commissioner de jezus. Seconsus. And so this is angelas baby and you should know that she took a whole crew to memphis and found all those volunteers that makes an incredible staff and she met with sarah weekly to get this resolution up and passed and so this is her baby. When we first got back, i think, in may, this was on the consent calendar. But when i looked at the report, i just thought we have to put this out. The community has to know what cit has been doing and then, of course, we had these tragic events which really elevates the c it program in my eyes and most peoples eyes and this training and practise is so relevant and so necessary, irregardlessless of what Community Takes over some of the other issues, i think we need to continue this training. I have a hard copy of the crisis intervention and i dont have some of the slides that were shown. And i dont know if the commissioners have this, but at the very end, you have significant cases that averted disaster, where the fbi had a selfidentifying shooter and you were able to your team was able to go in during prohibited ammunition and weapons and even though he was arrested, he was put in a substance treatment program. Another person threatening to shoot himself, you seize over 30 firearms and ten thousand rounds of ammunition and these are the things the public needs to know. You had an issue where someone barricaded, it was suicidal and i think he was barricaded for several days. You guys were successful your team, and im sure your volunteers, also, were able to get him to come out and he had 22 knives and one that was like a machete and he said he wanted to do suicide by cop, but that turned out to be very well. And you even had a student who said he wanted to make a bomb and posting pictures of a ski mask and guns and you were able to locate that person and detain that person but stop potentially a school shooting. So you are doing tremendous work. And i also want to depend you for that map, the call for service was an eyeopener and the map of San Francisco was an eyeopener, especially where the majority of the calls were coming from. I have a statement and i want to commend you and keep going and i know that were going to try to find Community Members to take this over, but there will be dangerous situations where the officer, perhaps, looks like maybe involved and i think this training is critical at this time. Thank you. I just want to highlight the people that i work with because next to cap, he start hostess negotiatessersnegotiators, whert want to surrender. We have about 35 of them and last year, i responded with all of the calls with them and we responded to 35 calls. This year alone, a couple of days ago, we hit 37. So were in the middle of the year and we already passed a newspaper of callnumber of callt year. But theyre an Excellent Group of officers, sergeants and lieutenants. When cip falls short, the hostess negotiators come in and take over. Sometimes they have to be recognised and seawant they go d negotiate. The person that you talked about that had the knives, that night he barricaded himself and we responded and we got together after five hours and we decide ed this we were going to disengage, which is something we look at, proportionality. Has he committed a crime . The answer is no. Hes suicidal. Well, why are we here. The dad was in the house and we talked to dad and no, he does this all of the time and hides in the attic for 24 hours and eventually he comes down. Taking these different aspects of the call, the command staff, myself and host negotiators, we decided it was best to walk away to fofor a few hours and let the person deescalate on their own and follow up in the morning. He wasnt ready to talk to us. The dad says hes fine, hes asleep and were waiting for him to come down. The next day we come back and check again, and he was willing to talk to us. When we met, we brought the paramedics, a psychologist and we connected to him. We responded three more times to his house because he as organic issues and goes into a psychosis where he believes theres spiders all over him and he goes into the attic and stays there for 20 or 30 hours every time. I have a great member of my unit who has developed a rapport with him. Is this a Mental Health call . And if it is, lets talk about other services instead of us being in front of the house with 20 officers. Thank you, that was wonderful. Thank you. Next line item. The status update on booking Photo Department notice. I wanted to give an update on where we are on our Department Guidelines and right now its in the form of a notice. The booking photos and the rest of the information. So we have a draft and let me before i even explain where we are, let me back up to give context to what this is about. Everything that were doing with reform and Reform Efforts, we come before the public to try to explain why we have disparities with arrests, detentions, use of force, particularly in the areas of africanamericans and other groups of color, latino and hispanic. As we try to analyze some of the why as to why things are occurring, one of the things we have done as a part of our Reform Efforts is to work with our academic partners to really take a look at our research and to take a look at what were doing and see how we can make this situation better. And this gets to the heart of what this is about, really, in terms of some of the things that go into the mindset of who is stopped, why theyre stopped. Its our commitment to reduce biased and implicit biased and really fundamentally, some of it, we believe, can be attributable to our attributed to stereotyping. And listening to the sciences that we have worked with in terms of how people form what they believe in terms of how they think and all those things, theres decades of Psychological Research on this topic. And were im pleased to say we topped into a lot of the Academic Research and right here in our own backyard we have nationally Renowned Experts on the subject matter and weve been working with them. Hopefully we will start addressing this issue in terms of how our relationships with them might contribute to some of what we might see, who is believed to be a suspect. Who is believed to be people that are more prone to commit crimes and the science and the scientists are telling us this factors into that equation. I want to say, also, that we listen, keep going back and listen to what people are telling us, to the many people including the Public Defenders Office who has been before this commission and including the academic partners and the District Attorneys Office and other Community Groups who have asked us to revisit our booking photo release policy. There are two things to accomplish here. Number one as stated by members of the commission and we believe that the presumption of innocence is critical to our system and we know in our criminal justice system, people a innocent until proven guilty. One of the things this will accomplish, we hope, is that when people are arrested, theyre not convicted of a crime. We hope to address that. And the other thing is to address a larger issue in this country is how we view people of color. I believe that this issue feeds into that, how we view people of color and hopefully, we can do our part to try to undo some of this in terms of how people think about roots based on their association with crime and booking photos is one of the things that paints a picture for people. Whos associated with crime because of what they see . Either from the newspapers or how they get it, on the internet. But the scientists have told us this factors in and we hope that our policy will help to try to address some of that. And its not in final form, but i will say that our policy at this point will regulate, and this is to seek publics assistance extheres been input. The subject has been convicted and the arrest subject to the booking photo is the photo in question. So theres been some input on number three that we received today and ive spoken to a couple of members of the commission on their input. I will say we met with the Public Defenders Office and talked to director hernande hend whoever he wants to bring to the table and hopefully we can do that within the next week. And were meeting with some members of the media tomorrow and thats on calendar to get input. But number three is, we heard the input and were going to address that and one of the other people on number three is to only release acquisitions for serious violent crime, murder, deadly weapons, rape, l licivios acts on a child. Nowe hope to have this policy completed in the next week or two and we will report back after everybodys input is considered, before we approving anything. Thank you for doing this. I think were all frustrated. We i have been working on how lg reform takes and by you taking such quick action to do this as immediately as you can, i want to thank and applaud you for that. And another thing, you know, you and i talked about this, this number three issue and thank you for taking that suggestion because i do agree that its important, who the public thinks is committing crimes is really important here. And how we kind of internalize the messaging as to who criminals are and arent is really important. And so i want to commend you for this effort and thank you and hopefully this can be done really quickly and the commission as a whole, well be pushing for faster reform and has been in the past. So commissioner elias. Thank you. Chief, i am so happy to see this Department Notice about this topic. I know that the public defender has been asking for this change for the past several years, probably, you know, within the last, like, three to five years, theyve been asking for this. And i want to thank them for their advocacy and working with you to get this Department Notice done. I think this is clearly the right direction and im so glad that you have drafted the Department Notice and you are working with the community and hearing their concerns as to why this is very problematic. It does lead to profiling and, you know, stereotypes. So thank you very much. I appreciate your work. Thank you. Commissioner hamasaki. Just to be clear, chief, i dont think this was ever raised at the Commission Prior to my raising, was it . No. Well, we had complaints about it, but then we never took any act hundred taction to put a nor bulletin together. That was a whole long history and i felt a little sad and left out, but ill be ok. The goal here for me is to get this done and this has been a goal of mine since i came on the commission. Ive listened to all of the same people and and i come from a position where i represent the people who end up in these mugshots and nothing good comes from it. You and i talked about this on homonday. The issue with conviction i dont know what the reason would be to publish somebodys photo after a conviction anyway. I dont think it implicates the same issues about targets certain races and profiling certain races, black and brown americans that are generally have been historically used by the news media and activists on, perhaps, the opposite side of the fence of me to convey certain messages. Maybe more so because im the commissioner on social media and i have seen the tenderloin stations long string of mugshots and black and brown faces. And so, you know, at the outset, i think the thing to do would be to let the tenderloin know to stop doing that. Thats well within your purview. The other thing is, i provided you a letter detailing all of the issues, as well as providing all of the authorities for why this should be a Department Bulletin, right . A Department Notice, as i said in the letter is for daylight savings time or when we wear pink patches on the policy form. You and i spoke about this and you raised the issue of having to go through a conferrence bu o i would appreciate it if you do that. If this comes out as a Department Notice, you know, the end result is that to have the impact that i think im looking for and other commissioners are looking for, which well end up doing is drafting Commission Policy and i think thats how well address it. And so, what i suggest is we have two weeks before the next meeting and could be restructured as a Department Bulletin with the impact, the policies that Department Bulletins have under 3. 01 and ill publish this letter on the Commission Website so everybody can see what im talking about. And i just sent it to you today and i didnt have a chance to do that yet. But i think these are some important changes. I think this is an important policy. So i appreciate you taking the time to listen to me, to listen to the community and to recognise these issues. And so i think this is an important part of the really what weve heard in the last few weeks, those of us who have been working in the criminal justice field have heard all of our careers the reason theres so Much Division between black and brown communities and the police is they dont feel like theyre respected, that theyre targeted and i think this is one step that i look forward to continuing to work with you over the next few weeks to get this done. The other thing that i actually didnt raise in the letter, which i think is important is that we dont have a procedure for somebody to get their mugshot down. And so, that is something we need to add in there. And im also going to request that we get quarterly reports when this begins about any mugshots that are posted so we can get a presentation and somebody can come out and say, yes, we have to post this mugshot because this person has alzheimers and was wandering off and we can at least understand why its being done. With that, i think that well have a good policy and look forward to adopting it. Just one thing. Just for clarification, the Department Notices have the same force and effect as the bulletin and there are a lot of examples. The difference between the two is that notices are, in effect, indefinitely. Why awhereas bulletins need, bue reviewed every two years or they expire. This is much better as a notice and it doesnt require elongated time period and im in favor. What we say doesnt matter, but ththe chief has the authority to implement it. I like how it was implemented. It has the same force and effect of the members of sfpd as the bulletin does. If i could just one other thing to point out to the commission. Really, this was about getting this done. I mean, as said, its been a number of years that this issue has been raised for us. And commissioner hamasaki you brought it up and i wanted to get this done as quickly as possible. The other thing is, there are also other like with our 6228, when we dug into that, there are other things to do with unit orders to make sure everybody is on board and were noin the process of doing that,s well. We want to make sure that this is effective and it follows and everybody is on board and it comes as a package like 6228 with other unit orders and the like that will have to be touched and maybe written. And so, i just want to make sure that the commission understands that the commitment is there and, really, particularly right now, i think a sense of urgency is important. And if that provides any insight. So thank you. Ill take everybodys input into consideration. Can i address that . Are you done, john. I have a quick followup. Just for clarification, the Department Notice is not something that is voted on by the commission and has no impact and can be withdrawn any time by the chief. And while we may stress this and believe in this chief, you know, it doesnt have the permanency that i think we want to see out of it. And regarding timing, chief, we talked about this, getting this done in february. We can get it done in the next two weeks and get it right. I look forward to working with you. Based on that, and so, if its a bulletin, it would expire in two years. So, i take your point, but a bulletin, while the notice is out, the commission can work on whatever it wants to work on, but why not get something out now. Rather than delay and work through this long process, why not get this notice out now and the commission could change policies and this will stay in effective indefinitely wher, whe the bulletin will expire. I think were talking passed each other. I agree this should be a bulletin and the reason why is the bulletin has to come to the commission or get renewed every two years and i see this as a beginning of a general order and it should be a policy statement from the Police Commission and i believe it needs to get out immediately. I would call it a bulletin with the understanding were working towards making this a general order and that gives you two years and you can get it out right away but its in our best interests to make sure this is a policy department. When i officerinvolved shooting when i got on, they would release a booking photo and rap sheet and the Biggest Issue was releasing the rap sheet and i think were able to get that pulled back but releasing the photo is still there. It something done ocommissioners addressing it. I think it should be a bulletin to becoming a general order and that gives us two years to work it out, to bring it to the level of a policy. It doesnt need to be a bulletin to become a general order. What im suggesting is, a, we cant direct the chief. Thats in his purview. He can issue a notice while the Commission Works on a general order. It doesnt have to be an either or scenario and rather than go through that process that expires, why not have the notice issue and the commission can work on a general order, a departmental general order on the subject area. The chief can direct whatever notice he would like, but it would be better to delay and then the commission can work on the deo. No one is asking for a delay. You know, i think theres something about the weight of a notice that is, like, dont forget to get to the dime store or donate tomorrow or come to the blood drive. Thats what the notices are. Its a lower level, but thats fine. Hamasaki, you can follow up and set this up for a general order and work with any groups you want to, the public defender. I dont want it to fall off the wagon. Weve been criticized over and over when we sent things back to the department, they never come back or they come back 14 months, two and a half years later. If it goes out as a notice, i would tell commissioner hamasaki to start getting your working group together and make this is a dgo because it should be a policy of this commission. If i could briefly follow pu. Theres generally three of us that ideally working together on this and make im cutting pauls comments off. But i spoke with director henderson and dpa is willing to waive their time on the adoption of the bulletin and we can get it out in the next meeting so nothing to delay it. Ok, whatever. I want to make a couple things clear. Regardless of how we go with it, a couple things will happen. Number one collaboration, number two, listening to all of the groups mentioned in this presentation and number three, a commitment from the department that this is not something that we are doing just to say we did something. This means something and for me, i have been stuck just because. So, this means something and so, the commitment is there. However we go with it, we go with it. The collaboration, the Community Input and working together to get this done and just for the record, i want to say that part of the Collaborative Reform Initiative was critical of the whole policymaking process and protracted that it took so long and i want to relive the spirit of that, so lets get this policy done and whatever happens from this point forward, well do whatever we need to. But, also, for edification, notices, for the purpose of policy, procedural changes, as well, so its not just announcements and i want to make sure that is in general order 3. 01. Regardless, were committed and thats what the spirit of this is all about. Thanks, chief. Thank you. Do you industrial still hav . I was going to just say that im happy to use the resources here in my agency to expedite all of those processes whichever gets decided. Im ready, available and willing to move this board as quickly as possible, including waiving the time that commissioner hamasaki spoke about to make sure it gets done quickly and in the faster way possible. My point was for the concurrent part which does not have to be protracted process, if that is a more institutionalized process, whatever role the dpa will be playing and im happy to waive those requirements to the degree theres a delay but double down and say, i will come to the able to help draft, create, amend, facilitate as soon as possible and i think thats something to get done immediately. Lets decide and move forward. Item 1b, report on recent activities and announcements. The report will be limited to indiscernible . Is somebody talking . You are on, paul. Great. So we are at 391 cases that have been opened so far and this time last year, we were at 336 and, obviously, theres an increase there, including the time period during the shelterinplace. In terms of cases closed, we have closed 443 cases so far this year and this time last year, we were at 292. We still have 381 cases pending right now and this time last year, we were at 333. In terms of cases sustained, were at 18 and this time last year, we were at 35. And this time last year, we were at 34. The mediation cases are at 16 currently and this time last year, we were at 19. Obviously, our cases have been impacted because of the impacted and delayed, in part, because of the shelterincase and they need to continue with the investigations but the numbers are continuing to go up. We had a training, a 40hour training for the mediation team, a Certified Training that took place last week for the staff on mediation and i dont know if anyone had a chance to look at the information we provided last week thats now on the website about the mediation, but we continue to work in that area. And we continue to have two outreach presentations with be magic organizations this week about our programs and reaching out to youth. For the 1421 information, last week, we released the large file of 1800 page file and anticipated releasing the remainder of those files later on in a week, which is about another 1,000 pages. Our fulltime 1421 legal assistant started this week and in the process of onboarding right now and they hopefully will be speeding things along with our 1421 place 1421 obligao make sure we get information out and to the public in response to the demands made to us through 1421. Were continuing to build our online request portal and tracking the system for requests. Our numbers so far are total allegations that have been reviewed which are 2,126 and total complete files produced are 54. Its a little more than 54 with releases from last week and a total number of officershooting files produced have been four, not including the release from last week and the cases file pending production more than 46 if we include the production from last week. Onsite case files pending secondary review are 208 and storage case files pending secondary review are 2,575. We have no dpa cases in the closed section this evening and in the audience and on the phone, our senior investigator steve ball, my chief of staff, Sarah Hawkins and samra marion. Thats it. I dont see any hands raised in the chat and next line item. Commission reports are limited to a brief description of activities and announcements. They will be determining whether any issues raised for commission meeting. Commissioners reports. I have a few announcements. One, i think i mentioned it but the last minute before i asked commissioner elias to shorten the time for concurrence and she and i have been doing that. please stand by . It is so important. The next thing is i asked for testing at the june 3rd meeting. There is also bias testing and dhr has agreed to the testing. I asked the commissioner to work with me to make sure the testing that is performed is actually up to best practices, that there are measurements for success and regular reporting to the commission on the bias testing. The deaf and hardofhearing we somewhere that for a vote july 15th. I am going to ask d. P. A. There was a big presentation two weeks ago on this and d. P. A. Said they were ready we pushed the department to be speedy about this. I dont want delays. There wont be. Awesome. Just making sure. We had asked. I know you said you talked to the department and we asked the department to get us those documents. That is what we are waiting on to find out. That is what i mean. I have been pushing them, you remember from the meeting a couple weeks ago with director mcguire, pushing them to be quick. They said we need 30days. I am pushing you to be quick. We have it on july 15th commission meeting. Do yodo you have a copy of te draft . I dont. The chief is on. I know he is, but i dont see him on my screen. I will direct it back to you, chief. I dont know where you are in getting it done. We have it down for july 15th. I think that meeting date is the current date and they will get it quickly after that. I received the letter from director henderson today. We have final concurrence meeting for this friday. We had one scheduled for friday. We will meet the deadlines. Finally, we participated in the early immigrant panel board today. They are going to make a presentation to the commission on july 8th that is into the weeds than the presentations have been. I have requested that. That is all i have. I know other commissioners have reports. I will call on you as i see you. I think you explained we are final with the use of force revision. The chief and i have been working diligently to get those done. Commissioner brookter and i will work with respect to the 96 report and the 5. 01 to look at it to see what the numbers mean. The department provides the data dump. We need to dig in to the actual numbers and what they mean in terms of how the police are policing different communities and what use of force is used against different individuals in our community. We have assigned ourselves that task and we are going to take a deep dive, as commissioner taylor likes to say, into these numbers and what they translate to. My second thing i have asked and am in the process of trying to have the commission 1421 report posted on the website. I know d. P. A. Is working on that as well and the Department Also separately is working on getting it published. It has its own set of records. I think that we should be posting our records online so the public knows what we are posting and what we are releasing and the requests we are receiving from the public. My third and final thing i want to agenda the investigation. I am not sure if we are there. We are not there yet. I want to have that on the agenda to where we are in light of the letter from d. P. A. We are not there. I will make a note of that. I do want the chief to provide an update what is happening. I know that commissioners have asked for updates months ago and we havent received anything. It was disturbing reading the letter. I want the department to respond to that. I will get it on the agenda. Commissioner. I wanted to follow up on the meeting last week. I wanted to say to our viewers, to the public, i want to send apology for the confusion and, you know, i dont think we handled it as well as possible. There was a number of people calling with different numbers. People thought it was the same person on the line. As i think we all said that night, we all value Public Comments. We are witching to a new system next week, web ex that should make it easier and will hopefully address the issues that led to the disturbances and confusion. I apologize for that happening. I have had a lot of conversations out of that meeting. That was a long meeting and we are all catching up on sleep. Thank you for keeping us on ourr toes until 3 00 a. M. We will see tonight i hope to get an early bedtime. I left the meeting and have done a lot of thinking over the last few weeks and the year and the discussion that has been happening around defunding the police. I want to let the people know that this is something that started at the commission. Commissioner jesus and i started working last year on transferring all Police Response to nonPolice Response. Finding the right professionals to handle the calls. We worked with a coalition of individuals in the Community Providers to bring the resolution. I want to let everybody know that this commission passed that resolution unanimously. The commission signed on, all of us, to transfer nonpolice calls to the Proper Professional Service providers to answer them. This defunding and restructuring of the police began before this movement. We are dedicated to it, as everybody said tonight. We know there are appropriate people to respond and we look forward to working with the community. There is a board of supervisors working group working on this issue since february. I will continue to update you. We have another meeting scheduled this week and i will update you at the next meeting where things are at. I know there was a lot of anger that was rightly placed, but i think we are dedicated to it. We have been working nonstop on this for quite awhile. That is it. Thank you. Commissioner davis. After that meeting last week, i had 24 hours to get changes to the Police Department. They have a bulletin regarding use of force policy and proper control of prone and supine persons. I did request changes to that bulletin. I understand the chief is going to turn that over to the d. P. A. And they will turn it around quickly. This is talking about body parts, knees and hands on the back of someones neck. We want that out. It is a gray rea. This bulletin addresses the 501. It is in addition to 501. This has to become a general order. It has to restrict in whatever fashion we end up with hands, knees and feet on the back of peoples necks. I got that out. I was asked to speak about the commission what we due to the Libertarian Party and i spoke to the harvey milk club. We did meet with the eis board today. I dont see hard numbers. Some of the come tea comparisont think gives an accurate picture. I am looking forward to the report. I have been saying for years the eis system is broken and doesnt really capture data necessary to follow the officers. I would rather discuss what will work because i think this is an important feature to catch officers before they get on a certain path. I dont want to give lip service to a program we have that is not functional. That is coming up and is something we need to discuss. July 1st, the two use of force bulletins are amending 5. 01. That is july 1 and the eif presentation is july 8th. I also last thing. I would like i have questions about the letter. I am not cheer where the chokehold not clear where the chokehold is. I would like them to address it just not the department. Commissioner. Thank you, commissioner taylor. I look forward to working in these working groups with colleagues. We will get a lot of work done. I can see cindy there. I am looking forward to getting the work. It is true reform. I am happy about that. I know we are talking about last weeks meeting. There was Public Comment that came in. I want folks to know i had conversations with folks in the Africanamerican Community who suggested, wanted and needed to see from our department and from this commission an expression of showing that black lives actually matter. That is why we asked for the poster in the stations around the city. I am happy to say because of that i am working on a resolution for the full commission to get your support as resolution expressing support for black lives. I will bring that in july. I want to share with fellow commissioners and public. Based on the presentation on the budget, i am taking it upon myself to make sure we sit down with the department to have meetings to look at the budget on an ongoing basis. It should not come before the public 700 million budget to be presented twice a year, a week or two before approved to go to the mayor. Looking forward to diving deep into the budget so we can get true numbers to the public and also to this commission. Thank you. That resolution regarding black lives matter will either be on july 1 or july 8 meeting. It will be one of those two meetings. It is in the final stages. Right now it is at the city attorneys office. Commissioner hama saki. I appreciate the items raised about the resolution. That would be great to do as a commission. I would have unanimous support. I am happy to join in with that. That is scheduling of items later. I just realized when you were talking about the gorge floyd hold that you are talking about a Department Bulletin that illustrates the point how quick that bulletin can be turned around in two weeks. The mugshot issue was raised on february seventh. That under be mines the arguments earlier. I wanted to note that and move forward. Commissioner jesus. I will jump into the agenda item. I might lose you. I am getting application errors. I want to talk about whether or not we can have a policy oh, no knock warrants. Whether or not we should have a policy about accepting military equipment. Those are things i would like to explore to see if that is in our purview. I think it is. I want to Start Talking about that. Director henderson. I want to be sure. She may have more. Was that it . No, i think that was it for right now. Thank you. One more thing on the use of force. We will have it on for a vote on july 1st. I think we are all excited about that. Director henderson . I had a question to clarify. The eis stuff and that is something that dph cares about that we will present something as well on eis. We have ideas to share with the commission as well. Next item. Do i need to ask to agendize the investigation . No, i got it. You can ask again. I think we know. That is fine. 1d commission announcements and scheduling of items for consideration at future Commission Meetings. Action. I get confused with you. You speak in union i son. [ inaudible ] one of the conversations i had in the last week was with the San FranciscoPolice Departments former bias trainer dante king. We had asked it to be on the agenda. He seemed like a lovely man. We didnt talk about officers specific issues. I am more concerned about his statements about the anti blackness in the department and failure of the bias training. Mr. King volunteered to come before the commission to explain to us and the public where those comments came from, why he felt that there was antiblackness in the department. He had solutions to propose. It will be very valuable to hear from him. He was the bias trainer in the department for two years. We will figure out an agenda. I want to let folks know. It has come up five or six times in Previous Commission meetings. That is one of the few agenda items that has not been set because d. P. A. Is conducting an investigation. I have been trying to figure out when that investigation will be at the point to report to the commission. I would love to have king before the commission and have a call with d. P. A. This week to figure out where they are and what stage they are. It would absolutely be on the agenda. I am eager to hear about it. It will be agendized and we will figure out when. Can i ask a quick question. Director henderson, would that impact your investigation if he spoke before the commission . It depends. It has to be carefully crafted. I just want to make sure i dont speak to commissioners about the specifics in the case that may come before you. We will work it out. It will be on the agenda. It is a question of when. We are trying to figure out with d. P. A. What stage they are in the investigation and when can we present that. Hopefully that will be soon. We are ready to talk about the status and the case and the other stuff. I apologize. I looked at my notes. I know commissioner jesus said it. One of the big topics out of the recent demonstrations and killings and everything going on is the use o of no knock warran. I wonder if we can have a presentation by the department when they are allowed and if additional restrictions need on them. This is something to do in a short time. It doesnt seem complicated. Lets find time on the agenda for that. He expanded it. We should have a presentation, what is restricted and what maybe we need to restrict. Next line item. Public comment online item 1. Members of the public to comment online item 1 press star 3 to raise your hand. Any callers on the line . Yes, i unmuted one of them. You have two minutes. Caller good evening. What the department is doing regarding extremist groups. Might you entertain trying to encourage the board of supervisors as well as yourself to have the San FranciscoPolice Department rejoin the joint Terrorism Task force. The public deservings to be kept safe. It would be good to be proactive and not reactive. Thank you. Good evening, this is john. I appreciate the commissioners emphasizing speed. One item you did not mention is how long things are stuck. There is no reason for dhr to take so long. The chief said it is unfortunate the bias by proxy policy is not ready to be sent out yet because it is not confirmed. That should not be a need to confer and if it is you should get it out of there. The body cam and use of force went to the black hole. The p. L. A. Sued and the city won. The city is still following the practice of meet and confirm on everything. Unless it is a mandatory subject of bargaining. Show some urgency to make sure the anti bias policy is brought out. On the map i want to comment the chief that it is a shame it is necessary it got to that point. The policy has been in effect for a long time. The p. L. A. Is one of the highest spending political organizations in town. If they opened up the uniform, you would have to open it up to any political club. It was an obvious violation of policy it is very troubling. It looks like the toa were doing a stunt here. The history of Blue Lives Matter is beyond what the chief outlined. The flag happened specifically after ferguson. Thank you for your time. Caller this is magic. Can you hear me . Yes. Caller first of all, i echo what john said. The officers should have known the masks were not legal to have and the hlu has continued to say this. I actually saw the people, the cops with those masks on defending people because they are homeless. I think it emboldened them. We are to be seeing you and the screen is blank. Next week i hope that is changed. It is important to recognize we need to ask Police Officers involved in killing like woods. I believe the statistics four out of five were trained in cit. Why havent we asked what happened to your cip training with an execution style assassination as former mayor lee called it. I would like to say that the the inter fearrance in my ability to talk the other sounds. I would like my time extended. We are considering the aflcio asking poa to be dropped. It is not a peoples union. They have been awful to our public officials. I cannot believe what they say or do. The poa was doing a stunt. That is not okay. You know this having four items. We are to stay in two minutes to address this material make each item a line item to help the public a lot. I was interested in what commissioner said about a coalition of community advisers. I want to know are the public part of this meeting for defunding the police and how the tub lick can be involved in public can be involved. I was in a meeting for the funding of police and w we are working on this very seriously. The math thing was a joke the mask thing was a joke. The first officer that wore it should have taken it off. Next caller. Caller i am a 35 year resident of San Francisco. I am a member of the sf justice committee. I think it is really a shame the chief didnt say he thought it was a failure of leadership his sergeants didnt notify him that the officers were wearing p. L. A. Masks. If he thinks this is acceptable we have a problem. Dont use the fact they are investigating the issue. I think the whole cit should be defunded and taken out of the department and handed over to the Health Department or to community organizations. I do give officer moline credit for the real problem. Lack of behavioral and Mental Health and drug programs. Those can be funded if money is taken from the sfpd budget and reallocated to those programs for community distress. I failed to understand what purpose it serves by among shots of people convicted of major crimes. There is no reason why anyone not in the public like celebrities should be posted with amount their commission. It is not up to the Police Department to do that. Thank you. Next caller. Good evening. Glenn cox, public defender. I appreciate the leadership on the issue of the mugshots. This policy defends the Due Process Rights of those accused of crimes. Lets be correct there is a lot of work to do. If someone is convicted it is something that snub discussed. They can do better on the report. That is true. You can also find the right ones to respond to the 911 call. This commission is correct in general. The new among shot should be there. It is an immediate fix and longterm solution. Thank you. Caller i called last week. How is it that the commissioners are taking the chief of police spots at space value . Last week he lied to the commission directly in his comment. He said there was a threat of violence. That is not true. He said the journalist was caught in the middle last week. That wasnt true. He said is journalist said the officers shot the journalist. That is something chief scott said didnt happen. The chief is lying. Second question. How in the world does it take three to five years to change a policy related to booking photos. Three to five years. Does it take that long to address a racist policy like that. Why has the commission not acted on the complaints. What the heck is this commission for the you dont act on complaints . All of these questions raise so many red flags about how this commission is doing. I again call to defund the sfpd and officer molina suggested there are other ways to address root problems. This commission should reallocate the money to the departments that can handle it, handle people with respect and without shooting people. Thank you. Next caller. Caller i want to talk about Many Organizations in San Francisco who are on the front line to address violence. What is missing in all of the deliberations is not once have they been addressing the unity. That stems a lot of problems. Into resolutions. I wonder if you know the difference between resolution and something called an. [ inaudible ] resolutions that are passed have no slight. That is what you are doing. Meeting at 5 00 and the community has to give that comment at 8 15 p. M. That is wasting our time. On my blog i am sad i had to write it. It is dysfunctional. That should go away. Use less, that is beating around the bush. Thank you. Thank you. Next caller. Caller yes, this is David Elliott lewis. I am part of the Mental Health working group since 2014. I want to applaud the Great Success of the group but also say we can do much better. Beat the forces down with Mental Health calls. The cit training helped a lot. Here is where the Police Commission could step in to improve further. As we move toward the responding models, why not create a resolution to put a Mental Health in each of the 10 police stations. There is a lot of background now here. I dont know what that is. If we have a psychologist in each of the 10 stations, we can it will allow them to use the person to respond to calls that need a Mental Health professional on the site. That would be a huge help. Yes, that costs money to hire 10 psychologists at 10 stations. The staff of about seven is great. They are stretched. The training staff, field responding staff could be doubled and they could offer more training and they can respond to a lot more calls or assist in a lot more calls. That takes money. I get it. In the time where there is talk of defunding police. I ask the opposite. More to be spent on cit to help people in crisis by turning over calls to Mental Health professionals, working with them, having them out in the stations. I hope you will consider these proposals to improve cit. I want to applaud the programs. Lets help them do better with a little more funding. Thank you very much. David elliott lewis. Next caller. That was the last caller. Please call next line item. Presentation of the sfpd d. P. A. Report on general orders, policy proposals. Sparks report. Fourth quarter 2019 and First Quarter 2020 discussion. D. P. A. You are up first. Give me a second to get your powerpoint loaded up. This presentation will be from our director of policy. She is setting up now. Thank you so much, commissioners. We appreciate to have this opportunity to provide you an overview of the work that was done the First Quarter of 2019 and First Quarter of 2020. It is anticlimactic because of what is going on right now. This is an opportunity to give you an update what has been accomplished. Mostly for members of the community, d. P. A. s role is to provide policy recommendations on a quarterly basis. We provide these recommendations through quarterly reports, through this report today, the sparks report, and when we finish our complaint investigation we make policy failure findings and make recommendations concerning policy. Other ways we make recommendations come out of our participation in working groups and issues before the commission. These are opportunities where we are able to work with Community Groups as well as government officials and create policy. Next two slides, please. During the Fourth Quarter there were three areas that we focused on. Some revisions to the Domestic Violence general order. Recommendations concerning Police Interrogations of use and deaf and hard of hearing that will be in front of the commission on july 15th. I will focus on the Police Interrogations. Concerning the Domestic Violence. Our agency is working with multiple Community Stakeholders and the Police Department for several years concerning ways to enhance especially investigations of Domestic Violence. For several years we put together the Domestic Violence manual in the process of being review by the Police Department. When we completed that we were invited in october to provide the 6. 09. Police department Domestic Violence order. It was the collective work of not only our agency but the Domestic Violence consortium of 17 Domestic ViolenceService Providers and communitybased organizations and the status of women and the working group which is a group that i chaired that is in place since 2012. It is a number of Community Stakeholders and the commissioner and the Police Department where we work on how do we put an enhanced procedures around Language Access so we can really address any concerns that arise concerning Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault investigation. In october we provided the recommendations to the department. The revisions concern a number of topics, intimate partner, strangulation. These recommendations we looked at best practices throughout the country. We wanted to address concerns raised during these working groups so we could really have a best practice deputy general order. That was the work that happened the last quarter of 2019. Another area that we worked on concerned Police Interrogation of youth. As many of you recall there is state legislationantic requirements where youth are permitted to required to speak with an attorney when taken into custody. Locally the board of supervisors passed the ordinance to provide more protections for youth in San Francisco is. We had an opportunity in december to provide feedback on the Police Department proposed bulletin. Our agency made these recommendations to make sure there was clarity attorney consultation, notification of an adult would occur before the interrogation or miranda waiver. So we made recommendations concerning clarity that the attorney consultation and notification would occur before the interrogation. We recommended the right to privacy would be in the Department Bulletin. We recommended the miranda add interrogation would be reported. It would be in the Department Bulletin. The department did release the bulletin on january 8th. It incorporatessed our recommendations in terms of clarity about the requirements as well as right to privacy. It requires documentation and the Police Department agreed to record the interrogation and providing Language Access. Those are the highlights from the last quarter of 2019 and First Quarter of 2020. I will be happy to answer any questions. I see no hands. Thank you for all of the hard work and great presentation. Next line item. Hold on. Commissioner taylor covered my point. A quick thank you to d. P. A. They really do the best policy work that we depend on their insight and deep, deep dive. Deep deep historical and institutional knowledge. She knows where everything is that i can never find in history of x policy. Thank you. Anytime you are here i want to thank you. Thank you so much. Next line item. The presentation of the parks report. Good evening. I am captain of the pspc. We begin with the Fourth Quarter of 2019 sparks report. First night shows in that report we issued 54 bulletins and notices. Three bulletins 51 notices. We issued one general order. 3. 06 that dealt with resident certification. Department orders in progress Fourth Quarter deaf and hardofhearing.

That would be great [roll call] i couldnt hear the last presentation over the phone. The audio just dropped out completely. I find that frustrating and disrespectful to the public. I want to know what the heck is going on that you guys cant get it together. They were transitioning to a web ex system for the next meeting. That is the system the board of supervisors uses. We expect it to address the technical issues. Thank you for raising it. I just want to also say there is no way to contact you to tell you that we are having this problem. There is no chat function on the part of the public. You know, how do you know that we cant hear something . There has to be away for the public to communique with you during the staff during the meeting. I think you can use the commission email and somebody will receive it. Other than that. Nobody is looking at that email and i will make another comment during general comment about that point. Thank you. Next caller. Are there any more callers . Caller hello. I tried to call on the first agenda item. I cant get through. I am a longtime resident in the mission district. Last night i listened to the chief speak at a conference and how he has the traffic stop as a young man by the officer referring to him as boy. That just brought me to tears because the trauma my son suffered in his mid20s after he was beaten by the sfpd and the long ensuing fight for justice. One of the officers is officer cabile who has been called out and we have protested made reports to you. He was hired when he killed the 15yearold derrick gains. I dont know why the San Francisco hired him. After my sob sons sons assault. He went on to throw an unarmed young man and hogtied him with handcuffs. In june 2018 he went on to shoot a man in the back in a crowded neighborhood during the warriors championship. Two cities paid out three settlements and there is another pending. He makes over 200,000 each year. Auwanyou want to put up posterst say black lives matters but the officers are still there. We filed complaints to the d. P. A. No more callers. Thank you. Please call the next line item. Line item 3. General Public Comment. At this time the public is welcome to address the commission for up to two minutes on items that do not appear on the agenda but within the subject matter of the Police Commission. Address the commission as a whole. Under Police Commission rooms of order they are not responding to the questions but may provide a brief response call 408 4189388. Access code 146 6282245. Press pound and pound again. If you would like to raise your hand to speak press star and 3. Do we have any callers on the line . Yes, we do. Can you put the first caller in. Caller i am a resident of San Francisco. I am calling to thank you for listening to the calls of 100 citizens to abolish the Police Department. I am reminding the commission we are watching and want accountability. Where are the minutes from past Commission Meetings . Last minutes online were from may 20th. This is unacceptable. Where is accountable we are looking for . We have no answers or charges regarding the officer restraining a man using a corrupted hold the police are ineffective. Where is the accountability for the implementation of the curfew. We asked the stopping of the use of force. They allowed the chief scott to leave. His police force was allowing protesters and didnt allow them to come forward. They were about to be violent. If this is not violation ofcism rights i civil rights i dont know what is. Hold police accountable. Our voices are not heard. We were ignored. Next week the chief reported 19 instances of use of force during protests. When we demands the police defunded it is relevant to every item. Black lives matter. All cops are bas bastards. Do your job. Next caller, please. Caller i sent an email on monday to sfpd at sfgovtv about our concerns about Virtual Meeting accessibility and procedures. I havent received a reply. I bring it to your attention and want to know when i can expect an answer. We think the commission is not providing access to the meetings in full view of the public as required by the sunshine act. The document covered these issues and others. One, the public can only watch on sfgovtv which shows the person speaking not the others in the room. It would be possible for a commissioner to leave the meeting without the publics knowledge. Two, during all Public Comment the screen displays a static card with the title of the agenda item. It is possible for people in the meeting to leave the room during this item without the knowledge of the public. 3, it is not clear to the public when Public Comment occurs. There is always Public Comment after item 1, the chiefs report, d. P. A. Report and commission reports, that is not indicated on the agenda. It is not clear to the public when to enter the queue. Almost every Single Person last week and tonight asked can you hear me . It wastes a lot of time. A lot of the commissioners dont know how to unmute themselves. We included suggests for addressing these deficiencies. They can be easily implemented. We sent the email to the board of supervisors. We think there should be a standard way in which all Virtual Meetings are conducted. I would like to know who will get back to us in what timeframe. Thank you. Next caller, please. Caller i am marie carter. District 5 resident and lifelong san franciscan. I repeat the calls to defund sfpd. It is clearly form is not an option. The city suffered so much abuse at the hands of sfpd. The money could be spent better on other services. Defund sfpd. Thank you. Caller i am steven courier. I live in district 11, former cpa p could chair at the police station. I am concerned about a couple of things that have been brought out into the open regarding defunding. I am not a fan. The other issue is the quarrel between the sfpd may not be answering calls especially in our neighborhood. We are dealing with, i dont know if they are m80 bombs or fireworks. It is tremendous the last three or four weeks in this neighborhood. We dont have any sfpd calls going out to us. When we call them so i wanted to bring that to your attention. I hope you will look at this in the next couple months. How the San FranciscoPolice Department will landelneighbor handle neighborhood concerns. Next caller please. Caller i spoke a minute ago. I want to follow up because you are talking about black lives matter. You need to prove to the public and get the bad officers out there who abuse the black bodies and kill and traumatize them. When we filed reports with the d. P. A. , they said the officers were on their vape dar. I dont know what it takes to get the violent officer off the sfpd. Another situation. The aclu requested records. Right when the law first passed. That request is not fulfilled. It is really wearing you down to fight for some justice. Every time that same officer goes public and in the newspaper, the reporters calling you are retraumatized. The chief said the bothered him to be called son in his mid50s. Think about what it does to a young mans brain when it is not fully developed. How that affects them. Your actions matter. Please get rid of the bad officers in sfpd. We want the firings by the d. P. A. I dont know what happened there but there is personnel problems that you cant get rid of. They are officers. You have a bad presentation. Three no, sir to defund the police. Please do your job and keep the Community Safe by getting the back officers off the sfpd. That was the last caller. Next line item. 4. Public comment on all matters pertaining to item 6 below.

Announcer youre watching coping with covid19. Hi, im chris manus and a you are watching coping with covid19. Today joining us is Susan Girardeau of the california Pacific Medical center. And mow to cope with emotional stress of a major daf. Shes here today to talk to us about how to help Young Children cope with this ongoing pandemic. Dr. Girardeau, welcome to the show. Thank you very much. Lets start by talking about some of the issues that 5 to 11yearolds might be facing. What are some difficultties they might be experiencing during this pandemic . The biggest difficulties that all children experience is fear and anxiety and its displayed in a variety of different ways. The kids have a fear of a Family Member getting sick or themselves getting sick. They have a fear of separation. Obviously with our quarantine, all of us at home, children still have a fear of separation in own home, which means from room to room, that they cannot be home alone without a parent. It is very difficult and even at night to sleep in their own bed can be a problem and an issue that is under the umbrella of anxiety. The other parts that play into it is the anxiety of when will this end . As we know currently, we dont know and that is the most difficult. And all kids, their peers, are an important part of their development. So it is often asking when can i go to school . At this point, they are very tired of online school. When can i take my friends and when can i see extended family . Right. What kind of indicators are there that a young child is struggling right now . Particularly behaviors that are really across the age spectrum of 5 to adolescence is sleep disturbances and increase in nightmares and in the younger kids, night terrors. Woe see across the age speck trup, fear of the dark. The other behaviors that we are seeing is the regression in their normal developmenttal tasks. For the younger child and as i referenced sleeping in their own room. Other types of behaviors that parents or caregivers might see are meltdowns over relatively minor issues. Often were seeing a decrease attention and focus, especially with online school. Were also seeing headaches, stomach aches that we typically see when there is stress and trauma. I see. Lets say weve realize add child is having difficulties. Are there specific ways we can talk to them to get them to open up, perhaps phrases or ways to ask questions that will encourage them to share their concerns . There are a number of ways. Number one, the biggest thing that parents can do is to really listen to their child. Often times were rushed. We are working parents, plus as well as now teachers online as well as playmates. So, to pause and really listen to what their fears are. As parents, we often dont get down to a younger childs physical level, look at them and listen to them and talk to them directly. I often use the technique of nailing a feeling and kids often times theyre not going to, especially in times of stress, come up with this feeling that they can name. So, i recommend to parents always of naming three feelings. Happy, sad and mad. And youve been through those three. Not frustration. But just nailing it to those three. Another technique that i highly recommend is to use the third person. In a way such as i have heard other kids say that theyre scared and they dont know why theyre scared. Do you think that happens with you sometimes . This is a way that kids feel much safer in talking about their feelings because they dont feel like theyre on the spot, but other kids are feeling that same way. I understand. Do you think that there is secondary concerns for kids as concerns are gradually lifted . I know one small child frightened to go outside right now. Yes. And were seeing that already right now. Because with as one as restrictions are lifted and were able to go outside, you know, people are Wearing Masks and that can be very frightening. Even if halloween. Many kids wont wear a mask. Children under 2 do not wear masks. Under 7, they dont have to. But over the age of 7, it is highly recommended by the c. D. C. That kids wear masks. That is going to be difficult. So, what ive recommended is for kids to make their own masks. They can make their own designs on the paper surgical masks. And so it is there. They cant put [inaudible] on it, whatever makes it feel a lot safer for them. Other things that i have heard are kids are afraid to go outside. I heard this from a number of families because they havent really been able to do so so theyre afraid they will get sick. I recommend that families start very small steps and the first step is take a ride in the car. That is the first way to go outside, windows down. And if you have a sunroof, open the sunroof and unbuckle the seat belts or car seat and be able to stand up and that is a small step to feel like the outside might be safe. So, it has to be in small steps for the fear it is going to be exacerbated. Absolutely. So, could you tell me a little bit about your book, disaster shock . Yes, disaster shock has been originally written for the 1989 earthquake in San Francisco. This has been a number of disasters since then and families in 1989 gave us the feedback that it was extremely helpful because there was really no literature available on how to help children and families that havent talked to them. Unfortunately our natural disasters increased with tornadoes and the last wildfires affecting northern california. It has been updated again for the pandemic. Right. And finally, what would you say to parents about how to talk to their kids in general . Could you suggest some good ways to reassure them . A few ways that i have been suggesting is, number one, you have to be honest. About what you know. And be able to explain in developmentally appropriate terms what is happening. And that we are all learning. We dont know. There are many things we dont know. But that parents need reassure the kids that they are safe, that the family will be together. But they need to be able to get the kids a little leeway, so to speak. And im not saying not disciplined, but what your discipline techniques may have been before may need to lighten up a little bit because these are very unusual circumstances for adults, but as well as for kids. But i always suggest and recommend that parents be honest with the kids because that is the trust that children have in their parents. Parents must be really aware their kids will hear, they will read their body language and understand the anxiety we all feel, but the parents need to be honest that they the kids will be safe. I understand. Well, thanks for coming on the show, dr. Girardeau. I appreciate the time youve given us today. Thanks again. Youre welcome. And that is it for this episode. Well be back with more pandemicrelated information shortly. Thank for watching. Its great to see everyone kind of get together and prove, that you know, building our culture is something that can be reckoned with. I am desi, chair of Economic Development for soma filipinos. So that [ inaudible ] know that soma filipino exists, and its also our economic platform, so we can start to build filipino businesses so we can start to build the cultural district. I studied the bok chase choy her achbl heritage, and i discovered this awesome bok choy. Working at imarket is amazing. Youve got all these amazing people coming out here to share one culture. When i heard that there was a market with, like, a lot of Filipino Food, it was like oh, wow, thats the closest thing ive got to home, so, like, im going to try everything. Fried rice, and wings, and three different cliefz sliders. I havent tried the adobe yet, but just smelling it yet brings back home and a ton of memories. The binca is made out of different ingredients, including cheese. But here, we put a twist on it. Why not have nutella, rocky road, we have blue berry. Were not just limiting it to just the classic with salted egg and cheese. We try to cook food that you dont normally find from Filipino Food vendors, like the lichon, for example. Its something that it took years to come up with, to perfect, to get the skin just right, the flavor, and its one of our most popular dishes, and people love it. This, its kind of me trying to chase a dream that i had for a long time. When i got tired of the corporate world, i decided that i wanted to give it a try and see if people would actually like our food. I think its a wonderful opportunity for the filipino culture to shine. Everybody keeps saying Filipino Food is the next big thing. I think its already big, and to have all of us here together, its just it just blows my mind sometimes that theres so many of us bringing bringing Filipino Food to the city finally. Im alex, the owner of the lumpia company. The food that i create is basically the filipinoamerican experience. I wasnt a chef to start with, but i literally love lumpia, but my food is my Favorite Foods i like to eat, put into my favorite Filipino Foods, put together. Its not based off of recipes i learned from my mom. Maybe i learned the rolling technique from my mom, but the Different Things that i put in are just the Different Things that i like, and i like to think that i have good taste. Well, the very first lumpia that i came out with that really build the lumpia it wasnt the poerk and shrimp shanghai, but my favorite thing after partying is that bakon cheese burger lumpia. There was a time in our generation where we didnt have our own place, our own feed to eat. Before, i used to promote filipino gatherings to share the love. Now, im taking the most exciting filipino appetizer and sharing it with other filipinos. It can happen in the San Francisco mint, it can happen in a park, it can happen in a street park, it can happen in a tech campus. Its basically where we bring the hardware, the culture, the operating system. So right now, im eating something that brings me back to every Filipino Party from my childhood. Its really cool to be part of the community and reconnect with the neighborhood. One of our largest challenges in creating this cultural district when we compare ourselves to chinatown, japantown or little saigon, theres little communities there that act as place makers. When you enter into little philippines, youre like where are the businesses, and thats one of the challenges were trying to solve. Undercover love wouldnt be possible without the help of the mayor and all of our Community Partnerships out there. It costs approximately 60,000 for every event. Undiscovered is a great tool for the cultural district to bring awareness by bringing the best parts of our culture which is food, music, the arts and being ativism all under one roof, and by seeing it all in this way, what it allows san franciscans to see is the dynamics of the filipinoamerican culture. I think in San Francisco, weve kind of lost track of one of our values that makes San Francisco unique with just empathy, love, of being acceptable of different people, the out liers, the crazy ones. Weve become so focused onic maing money that we forgot about those that make our city and community unique. When people come to discover, i want them to rediscover the magic of what diversity and empathy can create. When youre positive and committed to using that energy, hi. My name is carmen chiu, San Franciscos elected assessor. In our seven mile by seven mile city, we have over 210,000 properties and close to 90 of their are residential like the homes you and i live in, so you might ask, how can we possibly value all these properties . Well, to better understand our work, we need to explain the states proposition 13 law. In 1978, california voters passed proposition 13. Under prop 13, we value your property at market value when you first buy it. Every year after, that value goes up by the c. P. I. Or the California Consumer price index. But if the c. P. I. Is more than 2 , prop 13 caps the increase at 2 . Well walkthrough the maximum increases prop 13 would allow. Lets take a home with initial value of 400,000. In the second year your assessed value grows by a maximum of 2 , growing from 400,000 to 408,000. In year three, that 408,000 is increased by 2 to roughly 416,000. Every year, the value grows by the maximum rate of 2 , and that is called your prop 13 value. Keep in mind as time goes by your prop 13 value may not be the same as market rate. What do we mean by that . Lets say over the last ten years, home prices in San Francisco have gone every roughly 10 every year. Despite that, your prop 13 value is capped at 2 growth creating a difference between your market value and prop 13 value. Know that the value recessed when theres a change in ownership. A change in ownership means that the property has a new zoner. Maybe through a new owner. Maybe through a sale, a gift or adding or dropping names through title. At that time the home will be assessed a new market rate. That value becomes a new starting point for the property. Just like before, the Growth Continues to be limited at 2 until the next transfer happens. Remember, the new owners are responsible for paying taxes at the new level from the first day that they own it. Value might also be added when construction happens on your property. That would be another instance when growth in your value might exceed 2 . Here, we would add the value of construction on top of your existing prop 13 value. Every july, well let you know what your assessed value is by sending you a letter called a notice of assessed value. You can use that information to estimate your property taxes early. Please note that a separate office called the treasurer Tax Collectors Office will send you a letter in october and theyre responsible 230r collections. For more information, visit our website,
