Are child abuse request, the same thing with elder abuse and one of the things were proud of is the Police Department and with the department of Emergency Management when they saw that recommendation they said we can do that and i think within two months they did it, so were thrilled and in february of 2011 there are three child abuse codes that went into play and we had 23 that we have documented as child abuse request. That is small but were just starting. The majority of calls come into the hot line but we want to track the 911 calls when theyre for a child abuse case and that is one of the initiatives that we want to rely to you tonight and we are proud of the work done and especially the Police Department that stepped up and took the load in this. The next one is in the Adult Probation Department the Domestic Violence unit has been able to track for people prosecuted for Domestic Violence but the child abuse cases went to the general population of probation. There was no unit to t
Record of homicides in San Francisco. It was running about 10 Domestic Violence homicides a year and including in the year 2000 the Domestic Violence violence of claire joyce tampango by her exboyfriend in front of her two children and in the subsequent investigation our commission made happen it was clear that she had taken out police reports, got emergency protective orders, did everything she was supposed to do, but it the failure of city averages to respond appropriately so the members. Oversight panel for the last 10 years really taken to task the coordination and the policy reforms that departments committed to, and i am very pleased to report that with the help of many, many people in this room to date we have gone from 10 domestic homicides to this year so far 0,0 domestic homicides in San Francisco this calendar year so i know commissioners have received a package of chocolates. In it it is an eraser and together we are erasing Domestic Violence homicides. Thank you very much.

So with the Family Violence council in the last year weve seen a child abuse intervention and Prevention Program and we were mandated and not every county has it and beverly pointed that out and alisa worked for the last six months and a year in the making to have a phone app in response to elder abuse and you push a button and brings up the resources and with they will turn it over to the ladies. [inaudible] for both of these commissions thank you, coming together this evening to share the work that we have been doing together for quite some time, and the progress that San Francisco has made over the last 12 years for sure, and certainly even before that, so were honored to be here. I am Beverly Upton and p
Made a recommendation that the Adult Probation Department create a unit and a supervisor who would look at the people who have been charged with child abuse, felony child abuse and monitor those probationers so were pleased to tell you this year we have a unit in place. We have ramona massy in the department who is over that department and wendy still from the Adult Probation Department has been a strong advocate of these programs so we are thrilled to have that in place, and one of the things i honestly i would never see and be able to tell you in the penal code there is a section for the Batters Intervention Program and people charged with Domestic Violence. The same almost penal code called for child abuse 52 week program and never existed and only one county in california doing it and that was san diego. We came before the Public Safety committee with the board of supervisors and said we want a 52 week child abuse intervention proom and the board of supervisors said could we get in
52 week child abuse intervention proom and the board of supervisors said could we get in trouble for not having this . Its in the penal code. We believe we should have it and they said we should also and they asked the Mayors Department work with us and i saw Paul Henderson come in and a shout on the to him and were going to meet at 5 00 oclock every friday in his office until we get this program going, so the department of Public Health and the Probation Department and the mayor department has made this happened and we have the first person hired and the first group of people screened to go through the program and i am thrilled to tell you San Francisco is one of two counties in the state doing this program. We are gathering data from the beginning and we will have good information to share with you what is going on, so these are three major things that happened in the last year that i am most proud of the work that Family Violence council has done and all of the Community Agencies ha
