Please knew your microphone. Mute your microphone. [indiscernible] we have previously provided guidance as to how this would [indiscernible] [indiscernible] cspan. Org [indiscernible] [indiscernible] thank you. I want to welcome mr. Menendez and his wife. I appreciate you taking on this post. Tonk you for taking the time talk to me last week and take the best thank you for taking the time this morning. This is the first hearing the committee has held since march the 10th. Since then, millions of americans have filed for unemployment. Nearly one point 5 million have contracted covid19 and nearly 90,000 have perished from the disease. Is work in the u. S. Senate that much more critical and we respond as we respond to this pandemic and return to the economy. Second the highestranking office and the department of energy and the department has been playing a role in helping the nation fight coronavirus. The department of energy is a scientific powerhouse. Its National Laboratories are some
Particular category. What im saying is for all three of those incidents because they are all linked, i would consider that one incident, because when you take the dpa complaint, when you take a lawsuit and take the use of force and all that is combined into one thats going to be one event. If we are seeing repeats of that event in other circumstances, im going to go ahead and my interest is going to be piqued into that officer. With me going out and reviewing it and say i dont initiate an intervention at this moment doesnt mean im closing it out and not paying attention. Next quarter im going to go back and review. And thats what goes on. I review the previous reporting period and the previous alerts. So if i see a pattern where within one year i start seeing a pattern thats starting to develop, i can go ahead and initiate an intervention at that time. So the example you gave with the three different criteria you counted one incident, those three dont have to be related, right . Meanin
Where the officer was at the time of the violation . I dont have one for this reporting period. I think that should be added to the next quarter presentation thats done on e. I. S. Because thats important because these numbers although they are beautifully put into a chart they arent actually reflective or accurate of whats happening at each unit. I do want the numbers on the page 3 of the numbers that come into you and which ones you are passing through to the supervisor and which ones you are closing out. Okay. Director henderson . Thank you. I was just going to say the stuff weve been working on for a while both myself and with commissioner dejesus who isnt here, but one of the things that has been really exciting and i think we are talking about today is the benchmark Analytics Group and the stuff theyve been doing exactly in this area in terms of best practices. And im only bringing that up because i think it speaks to the shortfalls and the gaps and the kind of data that we are s
It could be indicators following officers. Can you explain to us how that would track . That confuses me. Thats the problem with page 12 and 13, they are defective because it looks it would look like its based on the actual station when these numbers arent based on the station, they are based on officers. Thats correct. Thats a problem. If you have any chart based on where the officer was at the time of the violation . I dont have one for this reporting period. I think that should be added to the next quarter presentation thats done on e. I. S. Because thats important because these numbers although they are beautifully put into a chart they arent actually reflective or accurate of whats happening at each unit. I do want the numbers on the page 3 of the numbers that come into you and which ones you are passing through to the supervisor and which ones you are closing out. Okay. Director henderson . Thank you. I was just going to say the stuff weve been working on for a while both myself
Related to specific cases especially around Domestic Violence and language access. But i have a lot of questions like when the use of force policy changed, how did that impact what cases were coming through dpa. That sort of thing. So mediation again weve talked a lot about how director henderson expanded the mediation program. We want to increase the amount of mediations we do in cases that are appropriate. We think that one of dpas overarching goals is to help bridge the gap between the community and sfpd. When we presented my comment was use the force right . Like we might be able to help in those one on one interactions where a Community Member just needs to be heard. So i dont want to still share an ugly but i will say we have been increasing mediations and we want to keep doing that. We want to strengthen partnership and relationships with Law Enforcement through the mediation program, obviously most officers arent thrilled to come to dpa for an investigation, right . But i have
