A question for clarification on this issue, i had a clarification. So there was detailed letters from the d. P. A. With the line item at, like, line edited revision. There was also letters from the bay area legal and the d. V. Consortium. And somehow, they werent identified i dont know whats the right word, kbut there were people concerned about this resolution. They were filed under 30day correspondence with the commission. People were looking for them, and they didnt know there was input from all of these different groups. Some criticism, and some requests for modifications, and the input. Just for the agendas sake, i wonder why this wasnt identified under the resolution . Why was it just, like, 30day correspondence . Im concerned about the way it was listed in the agenda. Im not sure giving people notice that there was a lot more information regarding this resolution. Vice president taylor commissioner elias or hamasaki . [inaudible] Vice President taylor im sorry. Commissioner hama
Candid discussion. Someone who pays close attention to what the commission does, i think the commissions resolution has much to be recommended, including establishing a time limit on the back end of the process updated d. G. O. Neglects a serious problem in the process itself how long it takes to get the d. G. O. To concurrence in the first place. The usdoj recommended the d. G. O. Process be reviewed every five years. My time on the Bias Working Group was well spent, and id like to thank those who shepherded us through this process. But these items have taken so long to go from conception to commission. To we cant wait while the streets suffer. Commissioner elias made that quite clear. Neither should the commission be hindered by the meet and confer process. Binding Court Precedent holds that d. G. O. S focused on policy decisions dont trigger meet and confer, nor is it needed to bring these changes to fruition. Sfpd needs it, the public demands it, and i urge you to adopt the d. P. A
More gratifying by the incredible support that we have by our leaders and i dont take that granted at all. Were privileged to have it. I cant tell you how much we appreciate your remarks and the steadfast and unwavering support for all of us in the work that we do. Our staff, us, i look around and i see people who have dedicated many years, entire careers, have paused their retirements to continue work for us and everything you do for this city and the people who live here just means an incredible amount. From the very beginning of this pandemic, our staff has been on the front lines everyday, no matter what you do, if its taking care of patients, keeping the hospitals clean and safe for patients, visitors and staff, fe feeding people, testing, opening new units. The creative ways you do them has been endless in the past three months. The importance of the work, the quality of the work, the amount of work, not to mention the pace has been nothing, nothing short of heroic. Its an amazin
Expedited also, already underway. Commissioner dejesus and the second part of my question is how can it be brought to your attention sooner instead of brought by civilians . If they use a knee to the shoulder blade or some way else, is there going to be a way to bring it out to the sergeants by way of a report or some other way . Yes. Its state [inaudible] in our systems, in our oversight systems is whether there are any gaps as it stands right now, and the way our general order reads, reportable use of force, that level of force, this body control weapon, body weapons, that kind of thing, control holds, wrist control holds, that type of thing, if theres no injury, it has to be categorized, but its not a reportable use of force. So the things have to be documented, but if its whats believed to be a minor type of control hold, a knee on the back, that type of thing, its not considered a use of force. So some of the things that we have to look at in this investigation is whether a gap in
