14,000 citations had been given affecting homelessness as defined by the budget legislative analysts office. By 2017, we were happy with the department and working with them and getting those numbers down. The last time we got those numbers it was at 9,000, still a huge number, and a huge cost, most of them unpaid. Since 2017 we have not seen that data. I have been on the phone with the Treasures Office who said the police are not collecting on the data. We should be tracking this. We should be able to see if we are giving more or less citations. These numbers are low. We have heard the citation of 647e mentioned. That is important. That is used to threaten people taking the tents away and taking it as evidence. When i was doing evidence in 2014 and 2015 this was not regularly used at all. This is something we are hearing on the streets and now in data and the prosecutor is not progresses cuting the cases because the threat carries a lot. We have heard, though, that they are using 647e
Actual changes to the d. G. O. Specifically. And then that bulletin is valid for two years, and then the d. G. O. Has to be reopened i imagine the commission would want to adjust at that time. Otherwise, just a reminder this is the document in front of you. It first came to the commission january 2018, approved in february of 2018 and then we revisited it in january 2019. Talking about adding m. O. U. s to the scope, we made a small additional change related to this matrix and the written directors annual work plan. Written directors will develop an annual plan. We have this fiveyear plan, as you see it tonight. The annual plan will solidify each year, which d. G. O. Needs to come up we have to adjust the fiveyear plan according to d. G. O. s, or bulletins that are about to expire. Such that we have to change a d. G. O. So we will have to address that in the annual work plan as well. The idea being the Commission President would approve that plan, and then we will make the current five

Question and then we have a number of other presenters and we have a whole host of people from the community that want to do Public Comment. So commissioner collins . Yes, i want to put this on the record that i still have a lot of questions when we are looking at data. I had asked for data around sieft transfers as a sense of how we can see if kids are feeling safe. And the data that show shared with me showed that predominantly the number of kids requesting safety transfers were black students, is that correct . Or black and brown students were requesting more safety transfers than more races of students for violent related incidents . What is your sense . I dont know. The safety transfers are down quite a bit because we have more criteria that were looking at for safety transfers because a couple years ago, of course, it was just a tsunami of transports that kind of blocked the system.
