Expedited also, already underway. Commissioner dejesus and the second part of my question is how can it be brought to your attention sooner instead of brought by civilians . If they use a knee to the shoulder blade or some way else, is there going to be a way to bring it out to the sergeants by way of a report or some other way . Yes. Its state [inaudible] in our systems, in our oversight systems is whether there are any gaps as it stands right now, and the way our general order reads, reportable use of force, that level of force, this body control weapon, body weapons, that kind of thing, control holds, wrist control holds, that type of thing, if theres no injury, it has to be categorized, but its not a reportable use of force. So the things have to be documented, but if its whats believed to be a minor type of control hold, a knee on the back, that type of thing, its not considered a use of force.

Little bit more than 50 . Some sections have a little bit less than 50 . And that was for december. As of today, june 2020, we have surpassed 50 . Every station in the San Francisco Police Department has more than 50 of their officers trained. It is a hard task to do. When we talk about training and how we get this training going, i know back in 2016 we had a few incidents that pushed this Program Forward and asked the department to look back and see what else we can do to improve the program. And took over the program in 2015, we had 250 officers that were trained in c. I. T. As of right now we have over 1200 officers and 40 hours.

Good evening and welcome to the june 3 meeting of the San Francisco Police Commission. Will you please call roll. Yes. [roll call] we have a quorum. Vice president taylor thank you.

Study after study shows that white people and black people are not only more likely to commit crimes, they think that we feel less pain. We have a less nuanced feeling, and less worthy of protection, so we often have to fend for ourselves. Racism is definitely a police problem, one that is as old as our entire nation, but lets be clear no ones off the hook. Racism is an america problem. Trayvon martin, Ahmaud Arbery were killed by citizens. The overwhelming number of hate crimes are committed by ordinary citizens. Every Single Member of this commission is committed to rooting out bias in this Police Department, and after seeing the murder
