Vice president taylor welcome to what is going to be the continued meeting from august 19 as well as concurrently the september 2 meeting of the San Francisco Police Commission. As some of you may be aware, we lost quorum at the last Police Commission meeting due to technical difficulties beyond our control. So at that time, we had completed the chiefs report, the d. P. A. Directors report, and line item 1 before we had to adjourn. Were going to pick up tonight where we left off, so its going to be the president ial report, commission report, and Public Comment. We want to make sure the public has an opportunity to comment on items from the august 19 agenda.

As always, im going to ask Public Commenters to reduce public noise, turn down the television. If you want to be heard, put y

Most of the volunteers do carry on although that already challenging work is incr

This is similarly an effort rely on expanding ems6. I want to understand how that has grown and how those ems16s are used. Also, how the mobile crisis team relates to this and any other, you know, outreach thats happening now because i think supervisor ronen and supervisor hainey and the whole boards intention is for a game changer that really changes the experience for people who are in crisis on the streets and really changes the experience of people in San Francisco who are seeing people in crisis on the street. And the question of whether its to be 24hour, but i think it needs to be at a volume that is great enough that is actually impactful and im a little worried that the increase that happened last year again, its been a weird year, a very weird year. But i know ems6 does great work and i k
