Are all important things, right . I understand the chair thing, trust me, got to get buckle down. Things are very quiet and so mild out there this morning, wow what an incredible day it was yesterday with 77 degrees high, no rain, at least not now storm fox showing the clear screenar check tracking a shower to the northwest of detroit but that is the closest activity on radar, look at these, temperatures, so much more mild 67 degrees cleveland right now 61 akron, canton paris 62, astabula and youngstown this morning in the forecast we will note clouds cloud cover but not devoid by sunshine by any means more mild than yesterday, some would say milder but 80 come upper 70s at the very least. We are talking about bats, maps in motion showing the rain assembling later tonight but most likely after about five oclock this evening so a good check chunk of today come anything baseball fairly light come a tenth of an inch, quarter of an inch or so but meanwhile the planner today, temperatures m
Out who they need to talk to the person to. None of us have to talk to each other any more face to face. My take away. I guess the push one thing i would stress is if theres a way to increase the number of direct bilingual officer interactions, i dont know if thats staffing. I dont know if the phone lines are like the at t operators, ive used those before, they tend to be very business oriented so they are not translating every day language, they are translating at a higher level and not using the language that folks may understand, kind of everyday level. I actually just did a presentation at the consular corps yesterday and i know over 450 officers speak different languages, 217 are certified bilingual and then as we hire the 300 officers back i know theres officers in the academy, for instance, the flag bearer at the last Academy Class is a fluent tagalak speaker. So we do put an emphasis on it and if anyone is interested in a job with the San Francisco Police Department you can go
And then i would also just say, you know, were very interested in how we can work more closely, although we have made a lot of progress this year, on Public Service aids. We know that complaints involving inaudible do not go through occ so we want that to be something that the commission is at least able to look at and you have the mechanism for that. We dont have that. And then i really want to echo what commissioner melara said. I think the intersection of Language Access, arrested parents, Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault and Child Protective Services is a huge intersection that a lot of our families are facing so i think we can just Work Together in the future to try to mitigate as much of that as we can. Thank you. Thanks for being here, thank you to the members of the group. Commissioner melara will have a lot of exciting stuff to update us on. I look forward to working with the commissioner. Thanks. Hi, larry eddmond, juicy not speaking english when i left arkansas i knew ho
On the phones. Have to wait for the sergeant to come with the phone so they can call the Language Line. Now every officer has the phone so they are using it, which is what we want. And the phone has google language on the phone so they can figure out who they need to talk to the person to. None of us have to talk to each other any more face to face. My take away. I guess the push one thing i would stress is if theres a way to increase the number of direct bilingual officer interactions, i dont know if thats staffing.

Contact those officers by using dem or contacting dem directly and finding out who is available that has that skill set. As i look at it, it looks like theres a decrease in the number of sort of bilingual officer contacts. In 2013 it looks like there were more sort of face to face interactions between a bilingual officer and a client. In 2014 the vast majority of the contacts were through the phone interpreters, about 2700 out of the 2954, right . So there was an increased use of the phone lines but sort of a decreased incident where theres a bilingual officer meeting with a client director. Chief might want to respond. Do you have an explanation . I just had a number from 2013 with regards to the language. I cant say for sure but i know as the officers become more familiar and acquainted with the phones, they didnt have phones at all and now everybody has phones. So i think they become more reliant on the phones. Have to wait for the sergeant to come with the phone so they can call th
