I am addressing. Commissioners i want to be really clear because this is on television. For anybody the lives in San Francisco, we are a sanctuary city. Your status living in the United States is not an issue. We will not report. Please. Trust your San Francisco Police Department. Call us. We are here to help. Commissioner turman thank you chief for pointing that out. We already had a constitutional law here, im not sure that it is hour is the best use. The attorney general did do a lawenforcement bulletin; the issue is whether the local jurisdiction is obligated to use state resources to do a federal detainer; it is specific to the sheriffs department. Part of the notion is that it is not the job of from my Law Enforcement to enforce immigration policy; we are here to keep people safe. We appreciate the chiefs passion. And ultimately where people come is not relevant and using this forum is important to underscore that commitment, and im glad the chief is clear and unequivocal about t
Victims in the city. I want to thank everyone for their leadership to get to this point in my question is, we talked about this a few weeks ago before the police commission. I think you are doing a great outreach to the community. Obviously part of my concern that talk about over the last few weeks is in light of recent events in the city. The concern is that women who dont speak english or are living in poverty will have concerns about reaching out of the Police Department. We want to reassure and reach out. Can you talk about your efforts to reach out to communities through various newspapers in different languages and how the department is getting the message out that we do have access to other languages and can serve diverse populations . Anytime there is a community meeting, and it is based on a certain ethnicity group, we try to have Interpretation Service provided. We will post those signs in that language, so if it is held in chinatown or wherever, for that outreach. It is impo
Tracking information system. Thank you commissioner. Thank you. If i can show you the Domestic Violence dashboard, these are four reporter markup, dv cases, arrested and bailed; dv cases arrested and bailed by zip code; dv cases sentenced vs. Dismissed; and dv cases convicted whether felony or misdemeanor. For the first report, if you look at the chart, this report will show by fiscal year the number of cases. When you zoom in on the year you can see by month but the number of dv cases are, and my by days if you further zoom in. This is nonproduction sample data. This is mocking up for presentation purposes. If you look at this, this is for the period jan. 1, 2012, through dec. 4, 2012. By zip code you can see where the high incidence are. You can see 94103, 224 cases, and so on. This portal will also allow you to change the dates that you are looking at. If you are interested in fiscal year versus calendar year, if youre interested in a particular month you can change the date and see
Least of this, or how is it handled . Commissioner, its been the policy of the San Francisco Police Department since the sanctuary City Ordinance was passed over 30 years ago, before i became a Police Officer, it isnt just something we need to train to. Its always know. I can assure anyone watching on tv at this commission, San Francisco is a sanctuary city. We are here to help regardless of your country of origin or language. We are working hard as you can tell to figure out the language. Chief beal spoke about me doing those interviews. I dont speak korean and chinese. We do spanish radio once a month, speak with Marcos Gutierrez about whatever they want to talk about; sanctuary city has come up more than once. It is not a training issue for us. It is department policy. It is city law. It is what we have been raised on. Does the department have the authority to control that information within its own database so it is and shared with the federal authorities . What information is that
All of the languages of the four in case something comes up. Good. Youre talking about 92 forms. The exist. Existing forms are already . Some are. There maybe some im not aware of and i cant say theyre all printed in the four core languages. Thank you very much for a terrific presentation. Commissioner chan. I will keep it short. Thank you for all of your work and its a testament working with the community. I will thank my wife. Good point. And also of course others leadership in making the video possible. It was hours of dedication to get the video done. It must be the best language video on access in the country and i work with others and i see departments that dont have a policy. I see someone pulled over at two in the morning and the officer said no with interpretation and our department is l leagues ahead and i think we should get an award for the work that was done and to be the best for the coming year what i think needs to be done is the continuation of the work and noticing wi
