to say that -- birch turn the mic over our commitment to making this police department bert is unwifr nothing 2020 when the stele and the world shut down. it would have been easy to give an excuse why we had to slow things down. we took that opportunity with all the challenges with staffing. during the covid height of the covied crisis we got majority of the work done. now facing challenging shortages and committed not let this be the troen not finish the w. i will turn it over to sergeant rivera. i will be here for questions and details. on thank you for the upon opportunity to continue this presentation on the collaborative reform initiative by the sfpd. now we are 245 recommendations. compliance by the california department of yesterday this . graph depicts those and notice it ends in october of 21. i don't want the graph to depict our work taken a pause at that moment. what occurred from october 21 to january of 23 consists adjusting reform efforts to sustainability and the management structure of the recommendations. new sponsor went department on board contract negotiations took place and project plans were developed. we engaged with department of justice and made submigsz weekly of documents. xrfrm sthl where each objective stands as far as our sustainability effort. words stating targeted. review. and general review. what that is the department's strategy in -- maintaining the promises made throughout the efforts. targeted review and sum row on recommendations that have deliverables at regular times. general review is the recommendations were a one time sdpeel did not call for additional work. however the department's commitment to maintaining best practice and the forefront of reform we review the files they don't themselves require a review. department made it priority to maintain our focus on those as well. little use of force electronic use of force we can collect the use of force did thea. department is able to catchure use of force that can bean liess and reported out through quarter low did thea report. the department general order for use of force updated twice. in april of 2022 and again in december of 22. the change to this was in responsibles of the upon department leadership noting challenges the policy created raised by the members. you will see the significant changes to the daa based on changes made to reporting requirements. the use of force efforts field tactics and unit genesis continue its review use of force ins debts. early intervention system conducts use of force audits. in crisis training mule promoted members and trained officers trier everrequired across all shifts those are efforts for use of force object itch. am it is graph shoes incidents from 2017. to 22. you will note the 2 different lines blue and orange. the end of the blue line and beginning of orange the change that occurred in professional 22. most significant low the april 22 policy reduces the reporting threshold removing the sfafrnld meaning there was no longer a requirement for pain to be present when use of force was required. that were sipping cantly use force for now required. the april 22 policy added having a firearm in low ready a category of reportable uses of force. biassed mreegs. can you go back wh i was reand noted that little sliver of orange repeat that you are saying that the in new use of force policy per such that when an officer deplays a weapon in instances but does in the ewe likewise the weapon that is a use force and therefore we the initial a largey initial incidents not captured in the blue sloin that when you said? a number not captured that are now captured in the orange line the drawing of the weapon at the low ready position was a factor. are we going to continue to look at the blue line? there is no base line to compare from which 2017 to 21. it dropped in half. the the upon centers did an assessment many things that the department was doing. this was about 4 years ago. one of the recommendations was that we lower the threshold per reportable use of force. people have minor force used on them and not reportable. and then -- when it is not reportable it is not evaluated. so it make its hard to get better when we are not evaluating. that was a recommendation we work with the commission to ghet in accomplice to which your question we electronic that not on the slide but do electronic that. >> and chief relative to early warning intervention, do you differentiate between the 2 did thea sets as if you are doing quarter low evaluation of officers who have outside use force behaviors. dot xorge blue lines tree them different low as an early worning or use it is orange line. >> not for early morning the use force reportable will trigger that eis review. the new policy does not if impact that. we did have to go become to the commission and make adjustments. because it really went beyond when the intention the policy was. fiapproximate sergeant's wrist and he tried yank and i full back. that was your adjustment. now we have a category called and [inaudible] what i described is considered [inaudible] force tell be do you meaned but not reportable. if i pushed him to the ground that would be reportable. we continuing it is a more sensible way and still approximate accomplish what the mreegs equity recommend. >> thank you. chief >> are thank you >> sorry, sergeant. upon the department is committed to developing on going institutional vision. that addresses bias as a part of over all strategy plan. twhoon is transparent and

chief scott. >> thank you. chief. on slide 9 a reference to the patrols i wanted to give you an opportunity to talk about more. feel there is having been resource put toward this. and if this is a priority as part of this plan and strategy and recommendations it does not seem that foot patrols have been deployed equal plea as much as they could. give you an tube to talk about foot patrols. thank you supervisor safai. our talented is consistenciful and as you stated there are areas in the city we have not been able to show that consistency. approximate or at all. and will we had this conversation. i'm sorry i'm not laughing union square had some and as they should. i'm supportive of this. my point is this this is one of the key recommendations. how do we achieve that this . is a staffing and over time issue. but i think this is there has. i want to say that. there has in the been emphasis and there is a prior in terms of staffing and patrol cars and in terms of initiatives you spread out and then foot boat in yours this have not been able to get them. >> the on set of the refurthermore to use of force and wanted to reduce the amount of force you use and the frequency used and number 2 the issue that dwot us here officer involved shootings. reducing officer involved shootings and for people of color. that has been achieved the officer involved shootings reduced deterioratically and think there is work to be done on do this more and so how we have achieved that is couple of things. policy and talked about the order 5.01. up until the reason changes. almost 60% decline in use of force. there is an issue with desparities and receive shootings reduced overnight president of the initiative. the desparity issue is one we are still wing on. it is challenging and they have w to be done. that's y where, lot of when remains to be done with the dash boards. and systems and in addition to the tribing. ef believe they are still improvements to being made there use of force we have turned the concerner on reductions. even with the change in policy this lower the threshold. we expect to see decline over time. we do have we respond better and have better out come. disengaged is in front of the commission and passed by the commission going to meet conifer where we -- used the time and distance to disengij in situations in the past could have been an officer shooting. so those are in accomplice and those things are approximate getting us to where we need to be with reduction of use of force. we have w to do. absolutely. but they have been a significant aim of improve am and the frequency of force and officer involved shootings. we will drive forward on that. and i appreciate that response chief becauses we seeef most of the recommendations are marked complete in bias and use of force. but when we receive our 96 report we still show racial deparities with stats. searches and use of force. and among people of color. and how do we than things are changing? one thing we will highlight is on one of the slides with traffic stop and policy that is passed by commission in meet and conifer now. we don't expect a delay on that. i will be clear. and oo that's going to make a difference. pretext stops the research shows it drives some of when we are talking about here. we do think that will make a difference the city that has empelemented similar policies i don't know anyone.com hencive like we are. down southern california and los angeles they sewn a reduction in the stops and the desparities. we anticipate that i believe that our policy goes further. and now seattle pd i don'ty didn't reduce but it did stop and they had some. i think that policy special part of of what needs to be done and the other thing the training. some of this about addressing and identifying and bias exterioring things it is other thing is understanding deeply understanding this issue and the training we are doing including our civil right's train and racial consilliation series and reverend brown is in the room he helped kick this off part of civil right's struggles to get context when this is about and how police departments including san francisco played a role and what we got here. i will tell that you i have been in all the trainings and we are taking officers and numbers. that is important i don't know anybody is irrelevant understanding why things the way they are. i'm proud of the city for taking it on and those things will make a differenceful the use of change over the last 5 years you will see significant reductions over the next few year in this your. gi will say i don't think we should have change the next few years we had to deal with the desparities for already far too complong got the recommendations years ago. as limp when we say there will not change over night. weed have not asking this to happen typeset is several years. upon understood. when weave talk about pretext stops this is something that supportive of was that driven by the police department or community? we startd that conversation around the same time that we started the racial reconciliation series. part whf we are doing. there is 96us to what we are doing is to have the conversations simultaneously. every session we have ended with a policy discussion. hucan we take when we learn and take this context and work this in policies that impact what we are talking about in termings of changing desparities temperature is not one thing supervisor walton it is many things we need to do. i agree we want it to change today. let's be frank we are talking about hundreds of year what is got us here i not take tell hundreds to change at this time change will be quick are than that. we are talking about a couple year and we will see significant decreases. there it is a lot to unpack. the previous item spoke to some of these issues and unpacking some of where we are. so -- we have to address this. with multiple policy changes of mind set. bias. understanding bias. practices. the deploy am practices. community policing. all these things will add up and make a difference and they will not happen over night this . will be frank they'll not happen over night but will happen. i'm not guess to ask more questions i have a lot tomorrow. about to your points about community police and not beats. which is almost am not existent in a lot of communities and i believe if we are going to have positive police interactions with the commute that is the way to do it. being a part of community on the daily base. not just showing when you want it is time for to stop a crime or time respond to something but spending time and community. and fringe low a majority of the city is neglected. i will talk about that tomorrow. but it is defy nightnit ly not equal the things happen nothing terms of deploy am with the police department in terms of where we ask for resources to go. and i think it it is inexcusable. il make a deeper case tomorrow. if we are trying to address the d. justice reforms it does not happen if we put officers supposed to be supporting communities in areas where crime is not existing in the same way. i just say that i will have more questions different tomorrow. >> thank you. chief the i wanted and may be you are getting here if you are i will stop i want to delve down not in the 245 butt 27 and the 4 this the department identifies the immediate need priorities. which i agree are the 1s that jump out. andmented to visit with you about where they are. in the red they say immediate what does immediate mean? what do you need to implement those? when is the path forward on implementing 4 of 27? i will ask the director mc guire and you know upon this as they come up to the podium. per of the reason we asked the sergeant and officer of hillbert here is am they are doing the work. i will say in 2018 if the command staff said you heard from and the questions this we would get then is -- okay i know the command staff getings it how do we know the people doing work are getting this . in what i will tell you is that when we made our significant gains in implementation it was sergeants and receives this helped degree this and still. this is the reason they are hear to help upon present approximate they will provide more on where we are on those. jury room good evening. san francisco police department. the items you noted as immediate priority alegality of our recommendations and we might have talked about this prior, we have done work on. we have not completed all of the compliance measures that go in making a recommendation compliant of for instance some of the things listed will look at the third item on that first page of the upon 27. and i'm sorry i aged. and it is difficult for mow to read this sfpd needos audit arrest data. we don't have the full peculiarage of looking at good -- solid tracking system. we don't feel we complete third degree recommendation. i'm sour our partners would agree. however we have done work to understand where we are so in those first years, year or 2 of work we did pushed hard on a lot of the immediate recommendations and did some work. measures came after. cal came after and we got a sense of a picture when they expected now we are working through that will in one of the big things we are working through that longer term project is the implementation of the record's management system track rest data well. >> this is a computer issue and this is an appropriate time to ask the questions because as we as supervisor walton said, much of sthf before budget and finance and note that you have a lot of money your budget this you have not spent and don't even seem to be close to spending on computer upon enhancements. so i'm trying to figure out the connection between -- -- to implement this policy finding number 20.2 the one you read in that small font is this, a computer issue and you need computer enhancements and if so, is that in your budget and if so is that part of the unspent money that may be the controller is recommend being this you defer? >> it were is tied in the computer infrastructure. so on slide 14, the project plan 20.1 is the project plan one that group of the 4 are all tide together. they are remember photocopy the infrastructure. that we are talking about. and the board did support that. we started this project out with the upon 5 million dollars guarantee from the u.s. d. justice. which the city money to get it started using that money the board did fund this and we intends to finish this. we do have an rfp in place with the vender and so we are couple years away from completion some of of this is them the systems need improvement we will spends more time on the funds tomorrow. thank you. director. and chief scott. thank you, president. any are questions for members. >> i wanted follow up on the pretext opt confirmation chief, with supervisor walton. and get more clarity when this come up before, this reference to strategies and other strategies to get at the racial desparities that have not gotten better. i think there has been general fwrement and appreciate you acknowledging the pretext policy you know is the one thing that may deliver some meaningful change there. i am concerned when i -- hear and i wanted find out more in terms of timing when you talk about manage we might not see results for years opposed to months or weeks and so i continue is mote and conifer if there are not unanticipated delays what is time frame of when we would examine those to go in affect. and then from there, how long after they go in affect before when you come with your quarter low updates will get in a position to see what impact they are having. >> i believe some of the impact to the policy will be immediate. let me name one the drives we know by data drives. you not registration issue. the policy stands you know thereupon is it is causing this vehicle has -- doesn't have registration. this is a year or more that in most circumstances is will not be aloud. now there are exceptions the policy standses now. if the stop is for another crime or other issue that is not one of the fences that has been deprioritized. that is still written. but in that case, the stop made on something else republican a stop sign and your car is not registered. the data shows a lot of that one issue drives a lot of the disparity or a significant amount of i believe thatful see changes in that issue. immediately and there are others that may be not so much but the other per is the pretext stop policy where officers. it is -- significantly limited when there is a pretextual stop. of murders and kidnapping of a child which are river. but -- if officers have suspicion or probable cause a crime is committed the policy is that i will not use the prone tail lights in the vehicle code to make that stop they rely on the upon reason of suspicion or probable cause. roch system do police work bull be a change in what has been customary the last 3-4 decades. that will be a significant change and -- some of those i think the data will reflect that by use of force we saw reductions the first year. over time that reduction were significant. you look at 2017 by itself. it sdmt do justice of what the next 4 years. you will see some reduction but over time i think tell be significant that is my prediction. why thank you and ballpark buy being unanticipated delays when we export meet and conifer press to conclude? some things we they see more immediate results and others take time. . >> i tell you the trendses are now the meet and conifer press is running about a couple months on most our general orders. the good new system -- part of the reform all of the general orders are revisited every within a 5 year period. this is the reason i'm telling tht volume of general order in this one year exceeded the last 20 years combined. more things will be on the table and we manage the work load with the policy the commission put in place the dead line and time line we expect that things will turn faster than they have than they ever have in terms of getting the dgo's from development stage to implementation. there is a training president the more complicated averages 3 montes and if we have several complicated at one time we space them where we give our officers time to proisz the changes. what we want is a policy change compliance and better policy and out come. there is a process to that. so after the doops from police commission have you mote and conifer period 3 months down from 5 years ago some were taking much longer. and then from there trin and implementation. you are talking about may be am sick months on average. and depending on the policy we may ask for less time to train or more. >> thank you. supervisor dorsey. thank you, president peskin. a quick question on am the we talked about the 10% that are still out there. what has the department done so we don't back slide on 90 percent still in compliance? sustain at is a part of our object itch. in measures require sustain act i will ask director mc guire and sergeant rivera to talk about this what this looks like t. is built in compliance measures. some things we revisit and the other thing because of just the dgo really aggressive revision scheduling. use of force. we have to revisit that that is tier one. dgo. revisit that every year to make adjustment this is is new and the right thing to do but tell lead to sustain abltd to keep our policies irrelevant voluntary and not another 20 or 30 years before we resunrise this policy. policing changes and changing now quick are then and there it has. it is built in the metrics of what we greed to and if you read them in detail they are measures that are baked in this we agreed to. thank you. seeing no other members on the roster we will go to public comment on item 15. thank you, chief unless there is anything you want to add, sir? i will tech that as time for public comment. i don't want to truncate your presentation. if you have more to present i did not in way 19cut you off. i didn't take it that way t. is important to understand some of the what has been accomplished upon even since left time we presented before this board. and i think it was supervisor preston in the past. somebody asked about early innervention system and one thing that -- it needs revamping and we have the vender in accomplice. hopefully next time we talk and give an update; we'll be almost to the finish line on the upon intervention system. we have the vendor, this is significant that is important in terms of get nothing front of issues before they become problems. this policy revision we really will not know until next i don't remember how things are tracking one thing i will say in terms of the evaluation of use of force when we have put in place allowed you to dig into and alis our force including up to officer. involved shoot and make the traying adjustmentless we need to make to make typeset better. and those suggestions lead to the creation of our field training options unit in the last 3 years. it has started a block of training the most sought after blocks of training in the department a critical coordinated response lead to better out come. we are on the body camera and in the numbers andirment to emphasize we -- may be we don't go out and toot our horn enough about when i'm talking about. i think the dpata speaks in terms of it has been significant. understanding we have a long way to go. i want to end with this and pauz positive note and thank you for your time and we look forward to the next update when this come. why thank you and relative it tomorrow and your rfp i think it would be helpful to have whoever is project managing that computer acquisition software present tomorrow. so we can understand what the time frames are and when it is expected to begin and this will be helpful. why thank you, we will, >> thank you, chief. all right. if there are no other res from members go to public comment on item 15. >> okay is there something else you want to say, chief. the director of technology is here if you have questions you can ask them. no , i know mine as well we got all 11 of us here. criminal on up. >> you are that you will is all going to come to a board meeting near you like next week so you are all going to ask the same questions get the b. when this rfp when do you put it out. you gotten responses. >> thank you. president. how much. when will you finish. when you will star it? cording to the numbers from the controller's office you have not spent any of your money yet? >> thank you president peskin i'm will mowsure the chief information for the police department. the rfp has already taken place we did 6 months of contract negotiation and have i contract since december we begin the workshop next month assessment for configuration and the next months ever this we will do a preproduction system. tell be a cloud based technology. >> i was a little bit disappointed when we were talking about the freeze and not getting to know these people that we tried to recruit, if they cleared background was a little bit disappointing. but we have, definitely not made any haste in getting that 4.9 million in salary positioned filled as fast as we could. >> thank you, sir. very much appreciate it, sorry, colleagues. now we'll go to public comment on item number 15, i promise seriously. interest there any members on the public that would like to comment on this item, first speaker please? >> speaker: thank you, gloria district 10, native san francisco born here in 1969, it was very triggering to sit through this hearing, especially pulling weapons of use of force when the san francisco police department pointed their gun at my daughter's head defacto arrested her and come to find out the suspect they were looking for was a male with dread locks. my daughter looks just like me. as a member of the reperations committee, we are struging at this time because we have a policy subcommittee and we discussing reforms that the san francisco pd should be completing. and i, encourage sfpd to partner with the reperations committee and work with us on creating policy that can push the recommendations forward. don't be scared, the public defender's office has, the city assessor has and even the d.a. stated that she supports reporation, thank you supervisor walton, but thank you for your attention on the emphasis that they have not worked on reform on the area that affects us. >> thank you, ms. berry next speaker please. >> speaker: good evening, to teviner. as i heard that young lady speak, i remember in 2016, i was picking up my son from riordan high school, he was only in the 10th grade. as we drove from riordan to mission street, i remember getting pulled over where i lived with 6 police cars, where they got out but my son was asleep because he came from a dance. it was six police cars and they all put guns to my son's head. stating that there was, a cab that was robbed and there was a 6-foot guy with dread locks. and there was another, 5-2 woman that was driving. and they emphasized and kept pointing that gun at my son. my son was sweet. then they nudged him with a gun. my son woke up and his eyes was red and they kept saying that he fit the description of somebody that robbed a cab. and at the end of the day, it was not my son it was a 36--year-old guy that was 6-foot something. and i approached them, i said why were they doing this to my son, you traveled and followed us home and all of them laughed and joked and laughed and joked. and at this time, my father had spent 45 years on the san francisco police department. i reached out for my phone to tell my dad that these police were harassing us on the loud speaker. my father was asking them why they were doing this to his grandson and all they did was laugh and they didn't want to take the phone and listen and drove off. then we get to the day view police station to find out, they would not documented that they made the stop and that they detained us and in held us in front of my house for at least an hour. >> i appreciate your comments. >> speaker: i'm just stating, they're talking about making change. >> i understand. >> speaker: but they're not going to do any change. >> i heard you, your two minutes are up. are there any other members for item number 15? seeing none, are there any members for remote public comment on the item? >> clerk: mr. lam. welcome caller. >> speaker: yeah, my name is green. i am executive director and [audio muffled] i'm a black women with a black son and nephew and black nieces and nephews as well. and i can say firsthand, i truly have had those experience sxz it's sad. this is the reason why the chief, chief scott has been working and working so hard and tirelessly to make the changes that have been trying to be made. i know for firsthand, i'm part of the policy module, i'm part of module for the community part. and i've been doing that for the last six years and really tacking to sfpd from the chief all the way down to the cadets and i still go out there to this day. the meetings were held right inside so that they can hear firsthand from the community. i do know about the shooting, i went with the chief with this trip as well as with the other officers. there are things that are being made in community to make a difference in the police department. and i want to acknowledge that, we were, we were, are we where we should be, no? but the changes are being made and they're being made wholeheartedly. and i can say that without a sliver of a doubt that, these things are being done for the community and mind and thinking outside of the box. so i just wanted to really stay on and acknowledge this to really understand that there is a lot of pain that is going on and this is one of the reasons why this is so important for both community and officers going down south. and retracing the civil rights movement. so i'll stop there and i just want to say thank you. >> clerk: thank you. let's hear from the next caller. >> speaker: hello, can you hear me? >> clerk: hello. >> speaker: i have two minutes, correct? perfect. where is chief scott, i don't see him. perfect, so it's my understanding that that governor newsom signed into law in september of 2021, a d--let me get it, i'm in the dark, a b26 and that was for use of force. that was a assembly bill signed into law through the state of california for use of force and amending section with 7286 so that covers a lot of excessive use of force and that really should be looked at. i didn't see that from the slides tonight but i think that should be looked into. also, the sf sheriff's department, the ccw available, there is no proper cross, there is no need for proper cause to give ccw license, training training so that should work for law abiding citizens, i believe in the gun to protect individuals. so like, the woman in san carlos could have been alive today if she had a gun in her holdster. i know the police department has a great program and then there is first amendment auditors. those are the individuals going around with cameras and they're auditing government buildings and police departments. those should also be acknowledged and simply, they're simply looking at you. and i do want to mention, in terms of your transparency, it's great. i saw a video in november of 2021 about incident of police officer shooting, in i forget, third street, but it was really transparent. keep up the good work. >> thank you, for your comment. mr. lam, let's hear from the next caller. >> no more comments. >> supervisor you would like to make a motion to continue this to october the 3. >> that's correct, president peskin. >> colleagues can we do that without objection. the item is continued. madam clerk, please go to general public comment. thank you to the sfpd for sticking around late. >> clerk: all right, is there anyone in the chamber that would like to address the board during public comment. i don't see anything getting up so we'll head to the remote system. mr. lam, can you speak to see if there are any callers on the queue. >> speaker: hi there, supervisor can i talk? about public comment on anything? okay. >> anything on this agenda. >> speaker: okay, anything. >> if it's okay for you to talk about, we'll let you talk about it. >> speaker: okay, so i just continue okay. i called to ask for fair and justice. i think mom-and-pop landlord also need help from you guys. we working with our money, the money is not coming from the sky. just like all the supervisors, you are sitting here; 8 to 12 hours, it's not easy to earn money just like us. i have two questions, really simple, first of all, can you pay for more? so why can we get why can we not do the direction when we not get the rent? remember, rent is for your wages, can you not get your wages? second of all, can mom-and-pop landlord not to pay the rent for the mortgage. so think about this and pay us fair and justice. when you take this season, go inside it's not only for one side. that's all i want to say thank you so much for the time. >> thank you for your comments this evening. all right, mr. lam, we have 7 listeners and one caller in the queue. we're going to take this caller until the end, if you have not spoken. but if you have, welcome now. welcome to our next caller. >> speaker: hello, so my name is san francisco this is general public comment. so i want today make sure that the city attorney understood the first amendment, it appears, i think it's law or 422 no longer available or no longer put for further comment because it's amended. so i want to make sure that we understand about guns. so guns are available through the sheriff's department, they protect people, law abiding people can apply for ccw. they protect, so i know that guns in a bank and guns in a jewelry store, they're protecting property. however, individuals in st. thomas could have been saved if she had a gun in her holt--holdster. and i want to make sure that the we know the amendment, the first amendment guarantees the freedom of speech, so somebody can be filmed within a public domain area. in city hall, you can get married with cameras down there. and finally, i want to make mention to the empathy for the mental i will. it's far more important rather than a police officer and again with the sex workers and to be human beings rather than sex worker. and sex worker and human being. but show a little 'em fa thee thanks. >> thank you for your comments. ?r. lam, let's hear from your last caller. >> that was the last caller on the queue. >> general public comment is closed. madam clerk can you please read the adoption without committee reference calendar? >> clerk: yes, items -- ~>> 19 through 29. >> clerk: 19 through 29 were introduced for adoption without reference to committee. these items are, the items on first reading if it's a resolution requires unanimous vote other wise on first reading a member may require a resolution to go to committee. >> would any member like a item or
