Do Public Comment. So commissioner collins . Yes, i want to put this on the record that i still have a lot of questions when we are looking at data. I had asked for data around sieft transfers as a sense of how we can see if kids are feeling safe. And the data that show shared with me showed that predominantly the number of kids requesting safety transfers were black students, is that correct . Or black and brown students were requesting more safety transfers than more races of students for violent related incidents . What is your sense . I dont know. The safety transfers are down quite a bit because we have more criteria that were looking at for safety transfers because a couple years ago, of course, it was just a tsunami of transports that kind of blocked the system. This year weve had less safety transfers this past year than we have in a number of years. So i guess that i want to put this out as a request more than a question. If were collecting data on students committing violence we should also be collecting data on students that are being harmed or, you know, targeted because we know i saw this at my Daughters School one student that was targeted was also then involved in targeting other kids. Its hard you know, kids that often are seen as perpetrators are sometimes targets of bullying and thats why they come to school with, you know, in defense of themselves or in conflict. So id like for us as a district to be tracking who is being when youre recording you say that you record this on the student profile. And theres other kids involved. Is it possible to Start Recording the other students involved in those so that we could start tracking if there are groups of students that tend to be involved in being targeted . Because i feel like the prevention piece is preventing it from escalating to where kids need to feel like they need to escalate it. And that means getting them services before it gets to that point. And then, additionally, the other question that i had is when we know that students are in conflict this happened also at my Daughters School when its resolved it takes time and they both have a right to attend school. But while theyre in school what i saw is that there were other fights happening after that because the school didnt have staffing to protect. So i want us to be making sure that while were resolving things through practices or through police or judicial system that we are separating kids so that because what i saw is that there was a conflict that happened offsite and we had several other fights on campus and the school wasnt prepared to manage it. I dont want Police Involved in those things and that is something that we should manage but i want to make sure that were staffing our schools and making sure they can attend school in locations so that theyre not, you know, while were fixing it that were not continuing to have other incidents. Thank you. Thank you, commissioner collins. So just to give a quick i will hand it back over to you, chair. I just want to give a quick update. So we have probably three or four more presenters and theres a lot of people waiting to do Public Comment. So what were going to do is were going to finish the presentations, i think a lot of the questions that we all have, some of them might be answered in the subsequent presentations. And then we will take Public Comment right after that. If we have questions for any of the specificking remaining presenters we can call them back up, okay . Chair haney. I wanted to announce that supervisor walton had to leave and supervisor safai will sub in for him officially. Is there a motion to have supervisor walton for the remainder of the meeting . So moved. I need a second. Second. Thank you. Okay, great. Commander lazar. Good morning, supervisors and commissioners and trustees, im commander david lazar with the San FranciscoPolice DepartmentCommunity Engagement division. The School Resource officer program is within my division, so im joined here today by acting captain Elonda Williams who will copresent with me and i look forward to this presentation and also fielding any questions that you may have moving forward. In terms of my presentation today im going to talk about the m. O. U. Status, some of the issues and concerns that we have and the work that were doing moving forward and well talk about the School Resource officer program and i know that there were questions about that. And give you an update about know your rights and were proud of the work that we have done with both the School District and the department of accountability on that brochure and basically what our next steps are. One of the themes that id like to put out is that i know that today were talking about enforcement and what are the citations and arrests and things of that nature but we really see that as a small portion in our role as Police Officers. Our overarching goal and our value is how do we build good relationships with the students, how do we become better role models and how do we work well with the School District to accomplish the work that we need to do to make sure that the school is a very safe environment for our students to learn and things of that nature. So its one of points that i want to emphasize and make today. And the other thing that id like to say is that were working very well with the School District in our partnership in revising this m. O. U. And really on a daytoday basis we have a really good working relationship. And in terms of the m. O. U. Status, i know that we are moving forward quite quickly. The Police Department received a draft in may of 2019. Just last month we had some initial reviews and some comments and some suggestions and we may have some additions as well. Were going to have an internal command staff and a meeting with one of our Police Commissioners who is going to join us to discuss the m. O. U. Internally and that meeting will take place a week from today. And then ill circle back on behalf of the department with the School District and work on the language with our goal to finalize it in july at the latest and in early august in anticipation of having our new m. O. U. In place and ready to go for the new school year. In terms of the m. O. U. And our goals and some of our concerns, of course, we are going to reflect the work that came out of legislation and the administrative code 96c dealing with no interrogations of youth 17 or younger unless certain conditions are met and we will add language and make sure that its not only in the new m. O. U. But that all of our officers are complying with the new policies and procedures related to 96c. Were going to work with the School District to clarify the community outreach, that this section includes regular meetings to allow students and parents and Community Advisors to provide feedback. I am proud to say, as i stand up here, i am a product of the San Francisco unified School District. When i was a student, i specifically remember our s. R. O. , i remember their names, i remember the interactions with them, and it was many, many years ago. They had a positive impact on me , and i know that today, our s. R. O. S are doing the very same thing that our students that are in our schools wait now. So beyond just the enforcement as a mentioned earlier, what can we do to provide that experience for one, it is for four decades, we have been taking kids on backpacking trips. We take them fishing, we do a lot of things with our youth and our schools, and we continue to do that through the police activitys league and our wilderness program. We will continue to do that. Im not sure if folks know this, but 25 years ago, officers were teaching drug education in the schools as well. I was one of those instructors. So we definitely can make a positive impact. The last bullet i covered those last two, but the final bullet, is how do we do you mentioned with regard to maintaining a students writes about privacy when we are escorting them off campus, and im glad that this issue has been brought up because we are taking what happened at balboa very seriously. We know that we walked out the door and the media was president present. We know what the fallout was from that. We know we definitely can do better. We evaluated the situation and we already know what we would have done differently. Hopefully we do not have to do that again. I want to assure everyone that is in this chamber today that we are working closely with our s. R. O. In terms of training to instruct them on how to navigate that. And basically employs some commonsense principles to ensure that when we get a student from point a to point b, that we do our very best to protect their identities. I wanted everyone to know that we are taking this very seriously. All right. I want to briefly talk about the School Resource officer program. This is a National Program and there was a National Association of School Resource officers, and i want to let everyone know that they recommend three things. One, is to foster positive relationships with youth, help troubled students in avoid involvement with the juvenile justice system, and move them into resources. To the extent that the department and the officers can do this to steer away from the criminal justice system, we want to be about that. That is one. Secondly, act as a guest lecturer, provide safety guidance to the students and increase the feelings of safety among students and staff. That is what we want to be about and then also, commissions to have officers, but s. R. O. S should be carefully selected selected and receive specialized training. I know we have talked about strategies for youth and police and the teenaged brain, the Youth Commission, and the department of accountability have really taken the lead in this, and we have come right to the table, what we are all on board to do this work. The other thing i would like to mention, and i will really brief is that there is a twoyear study that came out of canadas Carleton University that founded the s. R. O. Program that have numerous benefits. It prevents or minimizes Property Damage to schools, it prevents student injuries and human death due to violence and drug overdoses, s. R. O. Programs reduce the need for schools to call 911, they lead to reduction of the likelihood that a student will not get a criminal record, the increase the likelihood that the students will get the help that they need from social services, and then also, lastly, the increase in feelings of safety among students and staff. S. R. O. Programs are good programs. We have 12 officers now with a goal to increase that number. At this time, i will have the acting captain williams come up and for the next three slides, talk about the resource officer program and also about some of our policies with regard to the m. O. U. Commissioners supervisors and commissioners. I just want to say, first of all , the School Resource officer s program is established to build trust and also to provide education and training to young people. We are also there to provide classroom safety presentations, Truancy Prevention and intervention, and when requested to do so, and to refer the students that attend the sfusd to Community Resources that their families and, of course, the school sites may not be aware of. We will also participate in the s. A. P. Meetings. We are also there to improve relationships and create a safer environment so the young people feel like they are in a welcoming and nurturing area so that they can continue on and graduate successfully. We are also there to ensure that we have positive communications with young people, and we provide them with the proper mentorship. As far as our response to the school site, we generally try and respond whenever we are requested to do so and we are basically there to assist and follow the guidelines that are established by the educational code. We are not there to provide Disciplinary Services and we have told, and we agree with the San Francisco unified School District that officers should not be called there to be strict disciplinarians. Disciplinary issues will lead to will be the responsibility of the school and their administrators. And as far as arrests on campus is, we have two stress that quite a bit, but i do want to let you know again, that the situation with balboa has created a Training Opportunity for us and, through the s. R. O. Program, we now have weekly meetings with our School Resource officers and we also have monthly meetings. We focus on the best methods of communication. We are speaking about things that we have learned in previous trainings that we had to enhance our communication and we also had discussed the appropriate measures that we would take at all times to protect our young people. Im sorry. I had to get down quickly. And the last slide that i do want to talk about is the know your rights. We have made sure that we are in the process of updating that no your rights brochure that we made sure that any young person that would come in contact with this, we added the language which is 96 c. Weve also added language per d. P. A. About language access, and we are also in the process of developing and working with the recommendations, which is to make sure that the language that is in the miranda warning is in such a way that young people will be able to understand what we are speaking about. Because we realize that young peoples brains are not developed the same level as adults and we are basing this on best practices of other Police Departments. Questions are often asked about, what happens if the m. O. U. Is not complied with, or what happens if there is a misstep on the m. O. U. . The m. O. U. Will be signed by chief scott and is a directive from the chief to the department as to how officers are to operate at the schools. And so if there is any questions or concerns by parents, students , or whom will their from ever, the route to go is the department of Police Accountability. I know they are here today and they are here to talk about it. On our website, this slide talks about how to file a complaint with the department of Police Accountability if someone feels like we didnt provide the service that we are expected to provide. On the last slide, i would like to conclude by saying, we are glad to be here today. Were looking forward to Public Comment and anything that the community has to say about the m. O. U. I will be here until the very end. I will be taking notes so that i can take in everything that has been said, circle back with the department internally, and then go back to the School District next month and finalize the document. We are also in the process of updating our Department Bulletin because of 96 c. And the change in questioning of young people. We need to update our policy. Of course, you saw that we are working on our know your rights brochure. We have added language there, and then last, we will be working on department general orders 7. 01, which is our approximate leaf 14 page policy on how to deal with juvenile crime, juvenile victims, to reflect all the recent changes in the City Ordinances and the laws, and things of that nature. This concludes my presentation. Thank you commander lazar. Next person up, we will call patty lee from the public defenders office. Good morning, commissioners, supervisors, and trustees. I am managing attorney of the public defenders office, juvenile unit. I do not have any slides today. I have actually been off for the week with my grandchildren, but i came in because this is near and dear to our hearts as juvenile defenders working with youth who are charged with crimes. I want to stress that the importance of our Legal Education advocacy program, many folks are not aware of this program. This program has been in existence for over seven years. It was initially funded by a block two grant, and it is such a successful model that it is being replicated across these other offices across the nation. So what we do is we provide a holistic representation where we have paralegals and social workers working with youth, clients who are referred by our attorneys, and he also work with nonclient, and we also work with the Probation Department to support communitybased organizations. We enjoy an extremely strong relationship with the School District. Rebecca marquez currently is our education attorney, and frankly, her caseload has blossomed to over 150 cases. We need to expand that program. I mention this because this is one of the ways that we have partnered with the community, frankly with the police, and the School District to keep youth in school. And when we have problems with youth, often times we receive calls from the school sites asking us to come to the school site and intervene and work with the youth and work with the administrator. So we have actually prevent
