Commission discussion on unplanned events and activities which will be limited to determining whether the calendar or a future indiscernible . Good evening. Ill start off this weeks chief report with the weekly crime trend and overall, port one crime, were down 26 im sorry 17 yeartodate and weve had a 26 decrease from last weeks crime statistics. Overall, Violent Crime is down 15 for the year and compared to last week, its also down 15 . Homicides are still up 9 and we have 24 homicides yeartodate compared to 22 this time last year and we had two homicides in july and june was a pretty bad month where we had five homicides in the month of june and 13 of the 24 cases have been cleared and this years cases have been cleared and 12 have been cleared by arrests and one by exceptional clearance. There have been other clearances from prior years. Gun violence is down 2 year to date with four shooting incidents causing injuries to two victims over the past week. For the year, theres a total of 60 incidents resulting in 65 victims injured from gun violence. And as it relates, property crime is down 17 yeartodate and when we look at last weeks property crime, were down 27 from we were last week. Auto burglaries are down yeartodate at 35 for the year and a lot of that is due in large part to our Covid Response as a city. And compared to 2018, were 41 down and 2017, were 52 down. And in looking at our homicide, we have 15 homicides that were firearms relate or homicides that were firearms used and that is no change from last year. This time last year, we had 15 and so we are flat there. Again, a lot of work to do on our gun violence thats been asked about and pointed out by this commission and we look forward based on commissioners taylor and corey on the strategy were employing and well present a presentation in the next few weeks on our homicide strategies and everything were doing to reduce gun violence in our city and that will be done by director tiffany of our crime strategys unit. Significant incidents and we stated we had 2 42 incidents ovr the past week. There was a shooting that happened on the 100 block of s irsisca road in the bayview and this became a Public Interest from not one of the persons involved in a shooting but a car that stopped after the per persn that was shot was dropped off at the hospital and posted on instagram and caused a lot of incidents. Our officers responded to shots fired in the area of kiska and dormitory and this was near the boys and girls club. Several cases were located but no suspects or victims were found. There was a call regarding a hitandrun in hudson locating a need with blood but no occupant was in the vehicle and the San Franciscos Sheriffs Office assigned to San FranciscoGeneral Hospital advised a gunshot victim was dropped off and the victim had a wound to the left upper chest. The victim the person dropped off was involved in a series of violent robberies and that person was arrested for the robberies and the robberies, though, as far as we know at this point in the investigation were unrelated to the shooting. And after the persons dropped the person who had been shot off, they, basically, left the location and they didnt bring him to the hospital but left the location. This was observed by San FranciscoPolice Department officers that saw the person dropped off and they radioed to officers in the area including Sheriff Deputies to conduct a stop on the vehicle, not knowing whether the people who were dropped were connected with the shooting or not. Based on the information, a stop was conducted on the vehicle and a highrisk stop and the occupants of the vehicle were ordered out. The stop was initial gated by the San Franciscos sheriffs deputies and they ordered out the occupants of the vehicle and detaining them. There were three juveniles and one adult in the car. After investigation, it was discovered that they that the people in the car had only dropped the victim off and had not been involved in the shooting. And officers explained the situation, apologized and everybody was released. And so, again, the video that was posted on instagram was thee actual video and we reaching out to the family for the juveniles stopped and the adul adult, as , to sit down and talk. One of our Community Entities that we have a relationship is helping to facilitate that and so, that has not happened yet and hopefully, it will happen in the very near future where we sit down as an organization and have a conversation with the occupants of that vehicle. But again, it did get over 20,000 looks when it was poetedd on instagram and it was of community interest. We put out a statement on instagram and social media explaining this and we wanted to reach out and have a conversation about this and see what we can do to help these young adults or young kids, actually, get through this event. And the next shooting i want to talk about is a shooting in the bayview where two victims were struck with gunfire and thankfully, they both are expected to survive the injuries. And it seemed to be an investigation at this point and it was an exchange of gunfire in this situation and so, we are still investigating that there have not been any arrests made and we are following up on leads on that investigation. And so, again, that appeared to be an exchange of gunfire. The next was on july 9th, on the 2800 block of 26th street. They located a victim with gunshot wounds and the victim advised there was an altercation between himself and the claimant and he a as he walked away, the claimant pulled out a gun and shot hum. He was transported to hospital for injuries and the injuries were nonlifethreatening and there was significant information on that and we have not made an arrest on that. I want to follow up. I know we have a presentation, but some followup, commissioner da, weve had24 meetings yeartf victims of gunshot in the bayview yeartodate and this is through the end of this past week and in 2019, we had exactly the same number and thats nothing to brag about. 24 is way too many, but there has not been a change in the victims from this year to last year and we have a lot of work to do. As we know, we have seen several spikes of gun violence in the bayview and we have a lot of work do. And were looking forward to a staff presentation to the commission. And the last event that i would like to talk about was a it was an unsanctioned, unplanned event and we had a group of skateborders on the lower street corridor from 18th to 21s 21st street and, basically, we had up to estimates are a thousand participants at times on the skateboard, on that particular street. And we had a much of vandalism type of incidents that there was much frustration from members of the community who were victims of vandalism and other quality of life, urination on their properties. The Mission District officers along with help from officers from outside agencies deployed, trying to make the event as safe as we could given the gravity of how many people were out there, but its definitely an issue that we have to get a handle on. A lot of frustration in the community about this event and thankfully, nobody was seriously injured and we did have a couple of injuries, both with the skateborders and one ederly man who was actually attacked when he confronted a group of individuals that were urinating on his property and that person had serious injuries, but, we hope that he makes a full recovery. And so we will work through this and we have some evidence, Video Evidence and the like that we will follow up on to determine particularly the groups that were a lot. The individuals in that group that were violent. I will say by and large, it was a peaceful event. Although, it disrupted the community. By and large, it was peaceful, but there was a group of people among the many skateboarding that were committing acts of vandalism and the like. So this is not the first event weve had problems with of that nature and well work through that and work with our community partners, mta, as well as other city entities to see if we can work through that and address the community and Public Safety concerns associated with this event. And that is it for this portion of my report. If you have any questions. Thank you, chief. Ill ask to add shootings to the table that you provide us every week for the weekly crime trend. Will do, Vice President. Thank you. The public is welcome for Public Comment on line item 2 for the chiefs report. At this time, if you would like to make Public Comment for the chiefs report please press star 3 to raise your hand. Also, members of the public who call 408 4189388, 146 8691234 and thats pound and then pound again. Good evening caller. Caller, caller, you have two minutes. Speaker i didnt raise my hand to speak. So you have no Public Comment . Speaker no. There are no Public Comment. Next line item. Line item 3, discussion and possible action to approve draft deputy general order 5. 23 and interactions with deaf and hard of hearing individuals, the Police Association as provided by law, discussion and possible action. Ill lead off with a brief introduction statement with 5. 23. Theres a lot of people that did a lot of work for quite a bit of time on this and i want to thank everybody individually because we could be here all night on this, but i will thank the groups and ill turn it over to director henderson for all of the work they did. First of all, as i said, i would like to thank all of those who have worked on this policy, San Francisco on deaf and hardof hearing issues and all of those that worked so hard. With the efforts of the group, this policy, we believe will set standards for an equivalent level to be provided to the deaf and hardofhearing population and i know director henderson and his team, including marion, will name some of the folks, but i want to call out of a couplef people. I would like to thank you for all of the work. Commissioner hamasaki, thank you. And the Mayors Office and the District Attorneys Office and the Domestic Violence consortium, safe and sound, and a whole host of community members, so thank you all for your work and thank you for pushing us on this issue, the Police Department. The department is committed to providing the highest level of service to all communities, including individuals who are deaf and hard of hearing. Your legal obligations under federal and state law for individuals who are deaf and hard of hearing and they are not subjected to unlawful discrimination, nor should they be excluded as segregated or denied assistance. To meet these obligations, this policy implements the necessary procedures to establish Effective Communication free of charge by providing the resources, tools and or equipment to communicate. The next steps for the San Francisco department include establishing and solidifying our training Implementation Plan for the cgo, at least two Liaison Officers or each district station and securing signing for all district stations. We want to translate the communication cause into the core languages so the populations that we serve here in San Francisco and continue to develop the mechanism for the annual reporting requirement as outlined in the ddo. So, again, thank you all who participated in the creation of this policy and with that, i will turn it over to executive director henderson from the department of police accountability. I think this vote has the potential to be groundbreaking for this commission, for this agency, dpa and for the city. And so, samra, i yield my time. [ laughter ] to director marion. [ laughter ] oh, my gosh [ laughter ] im here. [ laughter ] i just got real nervous. [ laughter ] i had a great intro and then nothing. His, miss hair on. Marion and thank you Vice President and thank you, chief, for introducing this general order and all of the the acknowledgements to all who have worked on this. Good evening. There are many individuals who have worked on this and some other h2 h2 some who are watchig through youtube. I was hoping to provide some of the nuts and bolts and director suni, she was going to talk about some of the training aspects. Weve had a lot of technical difficulties and really appreciate everyone who has helped us today and currently right now as listed as an attendee and my hope is that, perhaps, after my comments, we could bring her in as a participant or have her go through Public Comment and have her address the commission through an interpreter and so, bear with us as we try to work that detail out. And as i said, theres so many people that worked on this and thank you, chief, for giving those shoutouts. We started back in 2017, in part, because theres dpa complaints weve had since 2015, weve had certainly complaints and there were concerns that were brought through many of the different working groups that we have around services for our Domestic Violence survivors who were deaf and just general concern about how can we come together to work with the department and really enhance services. Its been a great process for the last two and a half years and, again, shoutouts to everyone who came to the table and were to persistent. And Sergeant Youngblood, do you mine putting up the powerpoint . Thank you. And if you could even advance it to the third slide. Here we go. If you dont mind, we could advance this past the acknowledgement of the members and, again, just to give you an overview, we looked at washington, d. C. s metropolitan priPolice Departments protocol because they put so much of their general order and they are home to the galledet university and they workd with that Police Department. If you wouldnt mind advancing the power point. The latter part of the orders sets forth procedures in different settings and thats because throughout the country, there were lawsuits that were brought on behalf of deaf and hardofhearing individuals where they werent properly Given Services and its might have been when they were stopped on the street or when they were interviewed as a victim and sometimes they were held in custody without having an access to an interpreter. And by setting forth in this deputy general order the different scenarios, it required different communication tools and different procedures and we were able to give officers, again, the guidance so that when they are doing a traffic stop or, perhaps, conducting an investigation, they have clear rules how to communicate and what are the technological toolsthey have. Tools they have. This is something that was put together by the members of the working group and i would like to give a shoutout to inspector flore
