Thank you, supervisor yee for calling a hearing on this important topic and thank you to the committee. District attorney is committed to using data to make our city safer and we appreciate the opportunity to highlight the role that data plays in the context of Public Safety. As a principal analyst for the District Attorneys Office this topic is very near and dear to my heart. I think we can all agree that these are among the most important criminal justice issues facing San Francisco today. I think we can also agree as supervisor yee stated that data is essential to addressing and understanding these issues. Justis data is an essential tool for effective policy making, also a tool for Crime Prevention and crime fighting. And yet if you were to ask the Public Safety departments in San Francisco today if we can provide the data to answer these questions, i would say that we cant. We cant answer the question of how Law Enforcement is addressing quality of life crimes, we dont know how ma
Consultant who was working with us literally begged the City Administrators Office to please give justice a home in the City Administrators Office. And if i may interrupt you, why did you not try to affiliate with department of technology . For two reasons. One reason was that when justis lived in the department of technology before the Mayors Office became the executive sponsor, it never got priority. We went through a rotating cast of heads of department of technology who saw their priorities and interests elsewhere. And so justis was always the last thing that they addressed. And the second reason has to do with governance. The department of technology was to provide technical support. Technical staff. Technical expertise. And when we thought about it, we thought it would be much better for d. T. To be treated as a vendor with the executive sponsor and justis as their client. So that we would have more ability to work order money, demand that the money be spent the way that the just

Power lines. Neighbors say it has been very upsetting but they were most upset when they saw all the beer in the front seat of the car. When the car flipped and came to a stop here on foothill boulevard at 5 30 this morning. Residents heard and felt it. They didnt think the boom they heard could be from a car crash. I thought it was ap earthquake. Because it shook the buildings and then when we jumped up and saw everything, we tried to call 911 on cell phones and hooked up to wifi, we couldnt get through. Reporter Tracey Daniels wanted to help the men inside. Two utility poles had come crashing down of the she didnt know if she could safely across the street. Scared and angry and sad. I knew someone was in there and there was nothing we could do. So i cant, it was sad. She then saw the driver run away and left behind the passenger who was critically injured. Witnesses watched as emergency crews saved him and took him to the hospital. It was chaotic. It was wow, i couldnt believe it, i
