Sheriff will oppose that motion for fees, and we can brief the board further if and when that happens. Excellent. So a bit more into the substance about the new processes and procedures that we will need to implement in order to meet the terms of this settlement . But i would first like to remind ourselves that this is a significant change to our criminal justice system, one that the mayor is pleased to partner with community and Public Safety partners, including the sheriff, the City Attorney, and the District Attorneys Office to provide expedited review to ensure that everyone is treated equally and fairly under the law regardless of their ability to pay. We are happy to lead in the significant reform of our criminal justice system, and as my presentation will point out, it will take time to ensure that we meet those terms. So im going to walkthrough a high level of the various points in time across this new willhour time period that the various criminal justice 18hour time period that the various criminal justice periods are involved. So within the first eight hours of an individual being booked, the supplement requires arrestee information, specifically, an own recognizance or o. R. Workup to be submitted to the superior court within eight hours of an individual being booked in jail. O. R. Workups are completed by the San Francisco pretrial diversion project, sfpdp. It includes a Safety Assessment as well as incident reports from the Police Department. I will note that this is such that the court has these a. R. Pacts within a. R. Packets within eight hours. We have had extensive conversations with our partners at the superior court who are committed to ensuring that the timelines of the buffin settlement are met and they do currently review. They do release assessments once a day seven days a week. They will at least do it twice a day and are assessing their operational reorganization to meet those terms. We have been discussing the important partner in this reform. So in order to ensure that the o. R. Workup that has to be submitted to the court within eight hours has the appropriate information provided under much more quickly expedited timeline, the Police Department and the supplemental have requested 1. 2 million in over time for ad stiministrative sergeants to review and submit incident reports within an expedited at the same lines. This will require additional supervisorial signoffs. Seeking an additional 2,000 in onetime i. T. Costs. San francisco diversion project is requesting 800,000 in order to Fund Additional positions as well as related Program Expenses for increased case loads. Another part of the buffin provision is that Law Enforcement officer may request a 12hour extension of this timeline if there are any notes Public Safety concerns. So that means that in our case, the District Attorney will need staff to review arrestee information in cases where it may want to share input relevant to the courts release determination or coordinate with the court in filing release for extensions . So the supplemental is requesting 325,000 to review incident reports, Safety Assessments and other things before the court makes release determinations. It will allow the d. A. To weighin on Public Safety concerns if and when appropriate a p. A. Recommends release. The Sheriffs Department must operationalize this new process which requires carefully tracking the times at which bookings are made and planning for releases and sfpdp as well as superior court. In addition, the departments are also required to collect new data and produce new reports for the federal court. So as a result, the Sheriffs Department and through the supplemental is seeking about 450,000, six months worth of overtime for one dedicated deputy per shift to ensure smooth implementation of this 247 process. Its just for the six months. We will revisit in the upcoming budget, but at this time, they dont foresee making that request at this time as well as 80,000 or so for additional analytical positions meet the requirement as outlined in the federal settlement. So in preparation, i will say to all of this, over the last three months, my office has worked with all of these partner agencies, held oneonone meetings, conversations, held group meetings, to wrap our minds around what best would be needed to implement the buffin supplement. We believe that weve presented to you a supplemental that both meets the goals of significant criminal justice reform. I am committed that the Mayors Office will work with these agencies as well as the Controllers Office over the next six months to both help with process mapping to define responsibilities and timelines, monitor timelines to ensure hiring, training, and teaching. With that, im happy to answer any questions or defer to any experts that are in the room with your specific questions. Chair fewer thank you very much. I think before we get into questions, can we hear from the b. L. A. , and madam b. L. A. , will you please give us a report for items seven and eight together . Thank you very much. The appropriation ordinance is on the 2. 9 million ordinance today. We summarize the spending on fable one in table one on page 20 of our report. In terms of our evaluation i do want to point out is that the Mayors Office did ask the City Services ougauditor to estimate the resource needs, but its not actually known what resource needs will be needed longterm. In terms of table three on page 22 for the Sheriffs Department, we are recommending a limited tenure position for 18 months, which we understand is sort of the critical period of Data Collection for this position. Sheriffs department is looking at overtime to add one Deputy Sheriff 247. We consider that reasonable. So our recommendation is to reduce the allocation to the San Francisco pretrial diversion project by 127,000. This is table three on page 22, and thats actually based on how they calculated the hiring of positions and adding of resources to that contract. The other reductions that we are recommending is in the District Attorneys Office, theyre adding, as i said, two attorneys and two victim witness investigator positions for weekend, night coverage, holiday coverage. In discussing with them what we actually decided to do in recommending those as limited tenure positions through the end of the next fiscal year to really give time to assess what the need it for the Attorneys Office to respond within the 18hour time frame required by the settlement agreement. And then, the other recommendation is within the Police Department which is adding overtime for seven sergeants at seven stations over the course of the year. Our recommendation is actually to reduce that by 619,000. Thats based not to much on the staff so much on the staffing calculation, its based on their spending numbers on overtime. We think theres sufficient money in the budget. So insummarizing our recommendation, its to reduce the supplemental appropriation from 2. 9 million to 2. 2 million and then amending the annual salary ordinance to reduce those positions to an 18month limited tenure position. Otherwise, wed recommend approval as amended. Chair fewer supervisor stefani . Supervisor stefani thank you, chair fewer. Yeah, just a few questions. Thank you, miss kirkpatrick, for your recommendation and deputy City Attorney jon givner. Right so now that the information has to be submitted to the superior court within eight hours of an individual being admitted to jail, what is the average time mantthat take . I think the average time is 24 hours, depending on when theyre booked, and the Court Reviews cases once a day seven days a week. They will be increasing that. If theres any further questions, ill defer to the side of the District Attorneys Office or deputy City Attorney, whos also joined. Supervisor stefani so im assuming because as a Police Officer would be creating an incident report and having to do it within a shorter timeline, that would then take that Police Officer off the street, off patrol, is that correct . I believe ill let the Police Department speak to the impact this operational timeline will have on them. Supervisor stefani this is placing the question on the Operational Impact in terms of timing and what it will do. Certainly. Im stand chief bob mosier, chief of staff. Id just like to say that the Police Department recognizes that during the budget approval process in june, we committed to coming back and discussing our progress in terms of overtime patrols. We recognize that the buffin decision has kind of pushed that conversation forward a little bit sooner, and we know we have actually had conversations with supervisor fewers office on the need to have those discussions, so we welcome to have those. In regards to the Operational Impacts, currently, when a Police Officer makes an arrest in the field, theres a series of activities that they have to do to complete those arrests. They include actually booking of the arrestee, which starts that clock, but it also includes booking of any evidence and subsequently writing that police report. In order to do all those activities, an officer has to be removed from the street. Currently under the time frame that we have, supervisors, sergeants on the street, and managers, lieutenants on the street have the ability to kind of flex the time that officers have in order to complete those reports based on what the concerns are out on the street. So in other words if its businessly abusy and theres a lot of calls for service, it allows supervisors under the current models to have officers book the prisoner and book the evidence and then hold that report until a later part of the shift maybe when calls for service are reduced or maybe a shift change when we have additional officers coming on from a staggering shift that provides a little bit more coverage. Not being able to flex that and compress the timeline that officers have to do those reports has a certain amount of operational challenges. So obviously, supervisors are going to have to be cognizant that those officers are going to have to be removed from the streets, even in cases where it may be busy out there, and theyre going to have to try to manage that as best as they can in order to comply with getting those reports completed in a timely manner. The other piece of the report is that its not just complete when the officer finishes it and writes the report. It has to go through two approval processes. The first process is the sergeant the street supervisor reviewing that report. Typically, thats the same person thats approved any booking charges on the case. It may be the same sergeant that went out to the scene to supervise at the scene. So that sergeant would then have to come off of the street to review that report and make any necessary corrections, to make sure that the report is complying with the law laws of arrest, probable cause, department policies, so on and so forth. Reque with having to come out in a compressed time, that presents challenges, too. We rely on our sergeants to be that front line for us to make sure that our policies and procedures are being met, to go to those really high privilege and sensitive calls for service to make sure that all of our our policies, procedures are being followed, including c. I. T. , use of force investigations, our c. I. T. Crisis Intervention Team model response, time and distance. Those are all crucial for a sergeant to respond to. So that compresses the timeline and our ability to be out there. Our number of sergeants, obviously is smaller than our number of officers so theres not as many to go around. And then, the final piece comes in the management piece, and thats the lieutenant. The lieutenant is taking a third look or a second look at the review of the report to make sure that the sergeant has got all of those elements, policies, procedures, and laws correct. And as the lieutenant has to come off the street, theres typically oonly one lieutenant on the street at any point in time so that makes that lieutenant unavailable or if we have a Major Incident we have the incident of how do you get that report done in a timely manner as opposed to an incident out on the street that requires that streetlevel management. So there certainly are operational concerns. They magnify when we have busier days in the city, as you can imagine, when calls increase. Theres a lot more need for officers on the street and street supervision, so were definitely going to have to balance that. Supervisor stefani okay. Thank you and on page five of the presentation, there is a way that, it says, within an 18hour period, a Law Enforcement officer may request a 12hour extension depending on what that situation looks like. Ill allow interim d. A. Sus susie loftus to answer that for you. Good morning, supervisors. Susie loftus, interim District Attorney. So when you put those regulations in place for more complicated cases, it could be a murder case, a rape case, some of those statutory complications that would have made them ineligible for release would now make them eligible for release. So what we have to do is have a system in place that we can work with the District Attorneys Office so that they can work with the District Attorneys Office to work with the Police Department and get the court the information they need about potential Public Safety considerations. Supervisor stefani okay. And one thing that im concerned about i am concerned with a timeline with the suggestion in the reduction in overtime, that its so important that we get incident reports right, and its so important that Police Officers are able to take the time necessary so that when its taken to trial, that report is as great as it can be because it will be challenged in an adversarial system by a public defender. So we know that reports can be challenged right out of the gate. Ive read thousands of report being a former prosecutor myself, as you know. And many times even before charging had to send those back to the Police Department to have them worked up in certain ways and have questions asked certain ways, new witnesses, whatever. So im concerned with this new way of doing business, that if we dont get it right straight out of the gate, that and we limit our officers abilities to do a good job. I would like to hear a little bit more from the budget and legislative analyst based on the old way of doing business and now a new way that this would be something that you would recommend at this time. I feel like having to go from 24 to 48 hours into eight to 18 into a process to request longer time, how is this going to affect our officers ability to write good reports . Would you like to yes, supervisor stefani, through the chair. I think as i said in our presentation, the overtime of 1. 2 million is based on the seven sergeants staffing the seven busiest sections of the city. We are basing that on overtime spending to date in the current fiscal year compared to what was budgeted. And based on a Straight Line projection, we saw there was going to be a surplus of about 2 million in the current year. Because of that, we thought they would have the ability to absorb at least a portion of the over time. Supervisor stefani okay. But have we taken into consideration foot beat officers . Maybe i should turn to the Police Department and say what would be the consequences of not giving you your requested overtime with regards to this legislation . I do want to provide a response to the b. L. A. Information . As of today, our over time out of the general fund is 6. 2 million. With the resources that would be required to meet the demands of the buffin decision, we dont have sufficient budget to cover these Additional Resources and demands, and it would affect us with if the our requests were reduced. Supervisor stefani did you want to i think, if i may, patrick. Certainly, to speak to your question about other demands that are on the department, as we know, theres a myriad of new demands that have affected the department, and youve mentioned a few of them in terms of vision zero efforts certainly, our use of force and deescalation efforts, those take time, and they take people off the streets. Deescalation is a perfect example. The whole idea is to take time and use it to our advantage to reduce force, and think weve been very successful at it, and we look at the use of force numbers and how theyve been reduced. Certainly, that if were compressing the timelines that officers have to complete reports and supervisors have to review those reports, we realize that thats going to have a constraint on time in the field. So certainly, all of those different aspects, they add to it. Body cameras, body cameras have been very successful for the department, but they take time.
