Do we make change . I can tell you how horrified we were and the reaction in my home but if we dont change it we will experience the same problems. The issues that were facing in San Francisco we have insufficient oversight over the Law Enforcement agencies and dont have a culture of transparency around disciplinary actions and problems that maybe brewing in the multiple agencies that we work with. Number two we dont really have meaningful mechanisms to force reporting of misconduct other than obligations we have under brady to turn over potentially excull pitory information and we have limited information on misconduct in the Police Department or Sheriffs Department or any other, and third theres too little discipline and too little consequence for misconduct here in San Francisco. Its a rare situation that someone is fired for the conduct. There are few cases reported to us for misconduct and the discipline that is meted out is rare, relatively weak and uncertain, so those issues i t
Explicit bias is just the beginning. You learn what it is and how it works. The rest of the workshop is about understanding how it works in our minds and the ways that we can interrupt it, understand it and flip it, so that is what were seeking to do. Thank you so much for being here. I really appreciate it. The last Department Speaker is joyce hicks executive director of the office of citizen complaiptds that was here at 2 00 p. M. And thank you so much ms. Hicks. Good evening supervisor mar, supervisor cohen and president breed, and i do appreciate you inviting me to speak with you this afternoon to address issues about bias in the San Francisco Police Department and how to restore the Publics Trust after the horrendous racist and homophobic texts that have now seen the light of day, but which the office of citizen complaints was privy to a short time prior to their release, but we were not able to comment on them, and i will say it has been an incredible burden for me to live with t
Do as City Employees so i am hoping that when you review our request for funding that you will join us with that in that effort. One of the other things we asked for this year are is funding for hearings on structural bias. The relationship between explicit and implicit bias and the resulting structural bias that gets there are issues to address and we hope in conjunction with the board of supervisors to hold hearings so the various city departments can come and things exist that and the people of city and county of San Francisco tell us what needs to done and also the kind of struck uferl issues they have confronted so we hope deeply to work with the board and the rest of the city supervisor cohen. Thank you. Just a quick clarifying question. Could you define for us structural bias . I actually i can give you an explanation that someone that has been given.

Misconduct other than obligations we have under brady to turn over potentially excull pitory information and we have limited information on misconduct in the Police Department or Sheriffs Department or any other, and third theres too little discipline and too little consequence for misconduct here in San Francisco. Its a rare situation that someone is fired for the conduct. There are few cases reported to us for misconduct and the discipline that is meted out is rare, relatively weak and uncertain, so those issues i think are the things that within all of our agencies need to be looking at. I think everyone here is earnest to scrub out the behavior and problems and we have to be honest with ourselves it will require systemic change and not saying that we feel terrible and theyre fears that we dont share personally. In our office and you have seen the news that the District Attorney asked for a task force to investigate this and other issues were seeing. We have invited other agencies t
