That were put in place by the organizers of the event including fencing even though the event is free, those security measures were successful. We were happy to report no significant incidents at the harley strictly blue grass. Just one other note for commissioner taylor you had asked for Additional Information on a sexual assault. So we plan to add that to the Commission Next week. Well follow up on that next week. We have two additional reports. Next is the safe streets report. Commander dan poreia. Good evening. Good evening. Good evening president , Vice President , commissioners, director, chief members of the audience. Im dan poreia. And i am the commander of the m. T. A. My presentation is about our efforts for the Second Quarter of 2019 in regards to Traffic Safety. So i wanted to talk a little bit first about our efforts and our enforcement. Our strategy is to prioritize deployment in the highinjury network corridors that have been identified by data from traffic collisions throughout the city to increase enforcement and to educate members of the public especially the driving public about our strategies. Part of our enforcement include s lidar radar operations where were looking for people who are violating the basic speed limit law, also distracted driving operations pedestrian and bicycle, safety enforcement and those are things like a couple of weeks ago we had our Traffic Company motorcycle officers who were out working with officers from tenderloin station at turk and levenworth. We were having an undercover officer when the light was green enter into the crosswalk. We had motorcycle officers standing by. When an individual failed to yield to the pedestrians as required those individuals were stopped. There were a number of citations issued during that operation, as well as warnings to some of the drivers. The last bullet on my slide, very important. As part of our overall strategy to collaborate with city agencies, like the department of Public HealthSan Francisco m. T. A. , and also with advocates and stakeholders like i see jody mcgaris who is one of my new friends over the last five weeks from walk s. F. , a strong advocate for Pedestrian Safety in the city. Brian wiedelmeyer is someone ive worked with and gotten to know over the last five weeks. I think im in my fifth week here at m. T. A. My next slide is a comparison of our secondquarter results for 2019 compared to what we did in 2018. For members of the audience who might not be familiar with focus on the five we have identified five violations that are the most common primary collision factor in traffic collisions in the city. When you see focus on the five notation the Police Department has a commitment of reaching the goal of 50 in all of our enforcement. For members of the public that may not be familiar the focus on the five violations are for red lights, stop signs pedestrian right of way speed and failing to yield while turning. So youll see in all of our categories here for red light, the stop sign pedestrian right of way and failing to yield while turning we saw increases in a positive direction for the Second Quarter of 2019. Our speeding enforcement our enforcement of basic speed laws for the Second Quarter was down slightly, compared to this period for last year. I learned from another meeting that i went to last week not to throw numbers at members of the committee or the commission. I apologize for doing this but i spoke with jody maderas earlier today and she asked me a question that i hadnt considered. So i got that information and i wanted to discuss that and provide it to all of you this evening. So youll see in this next slide we have our focus on the five violations for the ten district stations and the Traffic Company, the solo motorcycles. One thing thats important to point out is that in the First Quarter of this year we issued over 10,000 citations in total. Of those citations 4,494 were for focus on the five violations which equated to 41 . In the Second Quarter of this year weve issued 11,000 citations, 5,773 were for focus on the five violations. Our percentage was 52 departmentwide. Of the stations that you see on this slide, id like to point out that bayview station northern station richmond, and ingleside all exceeded our 50 goal. Ingleside very significantly by 69 . Our Traffic Company was over 60 as well. So this slide is other traffic violations versus focus on the five. Again in the Second Quarter overall our citations were up from the previous quarter. As i mention, our department average is for that quarter is 52 . So these two quarters combined the first and the second leave us with a department average for the first two quarters of 47 . So not 50 but i think a positive thing to point out is it is trending upward in terms of enforcement and meeting that goal. Now, the next slide that i have here for all of you contains information about the traffic fatalities that weve had, unfortunately, in the Second Quarter of 2019. The first graph or pie chart to your left breaks out the information on the method of travel that a person was engaged in whether it was a person walking, a person driving, motorcyclist a passenger, or a pedestrian. We had a total of nine victims during this period. Youll see that for the age of our victims, the largest percentage of in the age group is our seniors, at 33 . Part of my assignment here, ive been educated at meetings and Commission Meetings about the vulnerability of people who are in certain groups people of color the elderly people that are unhoused are and people that are outside vehicles are a lot more vulnerable than people that are inside vehicles. Our traffic fatalities for quarter two compared to 2018 we had five total for the Second Quarter in 2018. Unfortunately, this year weve had nine. So that concludes my report. I did want to touch on a few things very briefly. In terms of an update, i believe that the commission is aware that we have a Vision Zero Enforcement Team in the solos. The size of that team was increased. We have nine officers now who are working every day of the week. They are concentrated on focus on the five violations. We want to change behavior by issuing citations and conducting operations solely for that purpose. Since june 17th through september 30th theyve conducted over a thousand traffic stops and issued about as many citations in addition to 30 warnings. Approximately 90 of the traffic stops that they made resulting in a citation they cited individuals for focus on the five violations. So i think thats an important piece to point out. Finally, i just want to make the point that our Traffic Company officers are definitely the experts when it comes to Traffic Safety and enforcement within the Police Department. They are involved in collaboration with all of the district stations and with all of the captains to conduct operations. I think the tenderloin is probably the best example because weve had some serious injury collisions and deaths in that district. Having the Additional Support of motorcycle officers not just for one day but Going Forward as part of our overall strategy is going to be helpful in continuing our upward trend of enforcement. That concludes the information i have. Thank you. Theres nothing wrong with throwing out statistics to the commission, as long as were able to relate those to policies and actions the department is taking. Its helpful there. Im assuming that the increase in citations are designed to reach vision zero to get to the point where we had no traffic fatalities and injuries as well but i assume thats the goal. Yes commissioner that is. Thank you. Vice president taylor. Thats actually my question because traffic fatalities seem to be increasing. I wonder if theres a correlation between the citations and the fatalities. If were increasing citations and the fatalities are also increasing, it seems to be a concerning trend. I wonder if you have any sense of whether or not the citations are actually working over time to decrease fatalities or if Something Else needs to be tried in addition. I can tell you, unfortunately my understanding of where we are today is we have more traffic collision fatalities this year than we had all of last year. Id also like to point out, and i understand your question as a very solid point, that in addition to the impact officers have when theyre doing enforcement, i think in particular with motorcycle officers i think that people that drive people out on the roadways, when they see officers that are engaged in enforcement especially along these corridors where speed is an issue and people are failing to field to pedestrians in certain areas or making turns and they dont give a pedestrian a right of way, there is a deterrent factor thats probably hard to quantify. When people go by and see that its my belief that they recognize that something is going on. I think that makes them ponder and think about how theyre driving. I think that presence helps to change peoples driving behavior. I understand the citations are very important. The enforcement is an important piece. Im just wondering if there is a way to quantify it because if theres additional manpower and resources being put into increasing citations, i understand that. It would be nice if we saw that on the back end. Im wondering if there are other things we can try. If were increasing citations and increasing the staff to hand out citations and our fatalities are also increasing, im wondering if theres a you see the problem im having . Yes, i do. And i think the way that i would answer that is i think, like most of the command staff and other captains i think to my days of being a captain and this issue is a community concern. The best way to address Community Concerns is to get involved with stakeholders and advocates and also to put out information. Our solo officers are going to community meetings. They went to one in the tenderloin where they gave a presentation about safety for individuals there. They went to Sunset Elementary School about two weeks ago. They were interacting with the kids that were working the dropoff. That school is fortunate to have a dropoff thats in a parking lot. Still, being able to engage. Im a parent and looking at the watch hoping that i make it. My wife always says were you on time . I say yes always even when i cut it a little too close. The education piece is an important part of it. Were fortunate to have a strong team in terms of public information. Our director David Stevenson and i have talked extensively over the last couple of weeks. Put out an email to all my Traffic Company officers to talk about our twitter account. We have 2700 followers. I would like to get more information out. I would like to tell people this is our vision zero team. These are operations weve done. Getting any information out to the public. Thats information thats right in your hand and readily available. We got few responses back from our motorcycle officers, because theyre out there and they see whats going on. Theyre also i should explain they work very closely with the department of Public Health and sfmta. Were part of a response team. If theres a traffic fatality they work and speak with people who are responsible for engineering the city streets. If theres an issue all of our officers are ready to raise a hand and Say Something im not a traffic engineer, but this isnt working at this location. So were involved in that were involved in trying to get that message out and have that conversation with as people as we can to change the behavior. Do you know how were doing in relation to other comparable cities . I wonder if there are lessons we can learn from other people who might have lower numbers. I dont have anything at the moment. I know that vision zero is a strategy thats been deployed across the United States and even outside the United States. So there are there probably is information and something we look at. Part of my approach in this new position is to get as much information as i can not only out to the public but out to the solos and all the station captains to give information to Police Officers so that they understand what the real impact because at the end of the day the this is a serious issue to public safety. You shouldnt have to worry about going out to the Grocery Store or traveling around on foot or your bicycle to get to work and worry about whether or not youre going to make it home that night because you were struck or you were in a collision. Thank you commander. It appears that the streets are more crowded with both pedestrians and vehicles. What inroads have we made . Most of these are Rideshare Companies, lyft and uber. If you look at the license plates theyre from sacramento or roseville so theres no familiarity with the city. There is the drive to generate revenue by completing the rides faster. We had this conversation earlier. The question for you is what inroads have we made with the Rideshare Companies about educating and training their drivers, in a similar format as we do with taxi drivers. Thats a big part of what we see. The ride shares are used to deliver food and my neighbors get their coffee delivered from an uber driver. What inroads have we made with the Rideshare Companies . I know we are actively engaged in issues citations, including individuals that are working for Transportation Network companies. I think we all know who they are. We keep track of that. Were working with the city attorneys office. I know theyre working on some policy and some litigation related to that and the impact that it has on the city overall. I can tell you that i went to a meeting with a bunch of individuals from the city family as well as other individuals involved in t. N. C. S at scoot which is the company that has the red electric rental scooters. There was a lot of discussion that i think at least at that level that theyre even aware of the impact and trying to offer a product while still trying to keep their riders their customers educated and responsible. So that conversation is ongoing. I can tell you that i appeared before the county Transportation Authority committee. President of the board of supervisors and the members of that committee were interested in addressing that topic as well. To try to be brief, because i havent been successful at that in answering, i think that our social media campaign, the Public Education is one way to do that. But i think enforcement helps too to do that as well. But it is theres a lot of complexity to it. Id like to ask whether the department keeps statistics right now on the citations that are issued to rideshare drivers. Do you keep that data . We do commissioner. Could we get a report on that so we can see what percentage of the total citations those rideshare drivers now constitute . Yes, sir. Great. Thank you. Thanks very much. Thank you. Next we have presentation of our Early Intervention system Second Quarter 2019 report. Good evening. Good evening, president , Vice President , commissioners, chief and director. Im sergeant lubernel and this is our report. The package we provided to you on page 2 this is a reminder of our Performance Indicators for an e. I. S. Alert. There is ten indicators which include use of force, d. P. A. Complaints civil suits officerinvolved shootings and discharges, onduty collisions, any e. O. Complaints internal affairs, any tort claims and any vehicle pursuits. On the readiness you will see the e. I. S. Activation. So any officerinvolved shooting or discharge will automatically put the officer on the e. I. S. System. Three or more incidents in a threemonth period will do the same. Three or more in a sixmonth period will put an officer on the system. Any indicators in a sixmonth period any complaints in a 12month period and any indicators in the past year will put an officer on the e. I. S. Alert. On page 3 we have the e. I. S. Flow charge. This is page 3. This is our Early Intervention system flow chart. When an officer reaches the threshold, an alert will automatically be generated and it will be sent to me. I will go ahead and review that alert. I have two options. I can either review it review the alert, review all necessary information and close out that alert in the office or i can go ahead and send that alert out to the district station and have that officers firstline supervisor review it with that officer. If either myself or the firstline supervisor feels that there is some type of atRisk Behavior, we can go ahead and initiate an intervention. If we dont feel there is any type of atRisk Behavior we will go ahead and close out that alert. On the righthand side these are some of our Additional Information that we look at for the officers. So what might be causing the alert. Any type of comp
