First, mayor, thank you very much for bringing us together to chief scott, thank you for so early on reaching out as well to see if this could be a possible course of action and i have to tip my hat and give a shoutout to mayor ed lee. Because from the very beginning of my tenure as attorney general, mayor lee reached out to me and said the city of San Francisco wants to be your partner, we want to continue to make improvements and any way we can work together, i want to do that. So when we found the u. S. Cops program and you the u. S. Department of justice abandoned its work with the city of San Francisco, right away mayor lee and i were in conversation. And i just got to say to ed lee, we miss you, but were here doing your work. This is a product of what ed lee wanted to see happen and i think its important for us as leaders here from the city and county of San Francisco, the leader of the Police Department here and certainly the city mayor to say on behalf of all us, we all owe ed
Response to the correspondence. Chairman brinkman a question i want to clarify, the ptv were discussing, this is a separate permit program from the Commuter Shuttle Program . Exactly. This program applies to services that are open to the public, and run along fixed routes in the city. And unlike the commuter shuttle, this is not voluntary. If a company is operating this business in San Francisco, theyre required to get a permit. I wanted to add that the taxi enforcement layers on top of the onstreet enforcement and there are fines associated with the program. If a permit holder is not operating within the permit conditions, then a citation can be issued. So, that is in addition to some onstreet parking violations citations. For the benefit of the public, i think i imagine what an administrative citation is, but could you tell us how that works. That would be in the permitie is not operating pursuant to the permit conditions, if theyre operating on weight restricted streets and we can s
Some dont need to be updated. Some do. For example, were talking about police radios, dive teams to Domestic Violence to issues of officer involved shootings, so a lot of these department general orders input from the community and some of our stakeholders, and more particularly as well hear next from the dpa, and its collaborative effort. But what people need to know is each general order is reviewed to update technology, update changes in the law, and each department is held to these general orders. They have to train to these department general orders, and then, these sadly are sometimes the basis for discipline for officers if they dont follow the general orders. Theyre kind of i wish it was only ten. Its not only ten commandments, but they must be responsible for. Thats what we do. Its a lot of work. Like the captain mere, captahe moore, who spent time revising them and bringing them up to date. Next well hear from the dpa whos an active participant in these department of general
We will get started now with our last Panel Discussion of the day. This panel is titled a discussion on the department of justice grant opportunities for fiscal year 18 and identifying gaps for possible fiscal year 19 programs. This is the panel where you all get to hear how the department is putting its money where its mouth is when it comes to Human Trafficking. Our panel will be moderated today by the honorable beth a. Williams. Beth was sworn in as assistant attorney general on august 21st, 2017, after unanimous confirmation by the United States senate. As a assistant attorney general for the office of legal policy, she served as the primary policy adviser to the United States attorney general and the Deputy Attorney general. And as the chief regulatory officer here at the department. Prior to becoming the assistant ag, miss williams is a litigation and appellate partner at a National Law Firm where her practice focused on complex commercial, securities and First Amendment litigati
International effort. Con temporary to contrary to what mentioned earlier about the United States, outside this country, internationally, particularly in the large Human Trafficking concentrated areas, like the asiapacific region, the focus needs to be more on restoration, rescue as well, but there seems to be perhaps lack of focused efforts in helping these individuals have a focus and purpose in life and bringing them back to a normal life, which is extremely critical, and so our focus in the International Sector is from the restoration perspective. So is a come back to our work in the United States, and back to your question, david, maybe, take for example; i start with anthems work, large healthcare company. We touch many communities, many institutions, many healthcare providers, so as an organization, we understand the unique opportunity we have in this space. When you look at the fight that we have against this evil, it starts with identification. It also includes rescue. It incl
