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 Francisco Police 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 honest
Contributed to the use of force. Commissioner elias thank you. That was my question, because i do think thats a large part of what you and your team are doing in sort of getting the officers into the 40houraweek course. Yeah. Unfortunately, i dont have my other sergeants that are the ones doing most of the trainings. We have been doing this nonstop through the years. We just recently did the command staff training for the ten hours, and it was refreshing to hear our supervisors and command staff hear how its changed in crisis intervention. Now, the officers are embracing it, theyre practicing. I read most of the reports that come to my desk for 5150s, and i see how the officers are doing a great job up there. Theyre building a rapport with people in crisis, theyre not rushing, and i think thats what we want at this point. Were motivated to continue doing our work. I know sometimes you dont hear the good jobs that officers are doing, but im telling you, i hear every day on the radio off
