Im a volunteer with the black community and im calling because we have recently been aware that supervisor safai has been proposed a resolution at the board of supervisors that would roll back the pace of reform with the doj process here so im calling to ask one, whether the Police Commission would make it clear to the board of supervisors that the further delays to the doj reform are unacceptable and as called for in this very resolution and two, to wonder what roles of the sfpd has played in crafting this resolution. I would hope that they did not connect with supervisor safai and call even for the delays in critical reform but we do want to be very sure. Thank you. Thank you, caller. Thank you, speaker. Next caller. Caller yes, good evening, this is is star child im chair of the local chapter of liberaltarian party of San Francisco. Can everyone hear me . Hello . Yes. You can hear me. Ok, thank you. I had a couple things i want to mention. I second the caller proceeding with the department of justice row form and theyve been delayed too long and i also wanted to make a suggestion. I dont know actually to what extent, well, i suspect the Police Commission could do this whether you would get that involved or not i dont know. I think the sfpd, when theres an incident any persons arrested or detained along with victims and witnesses should be september a Police Report when it comes backs. I was a victim several months ago and . N would help shine a Greater Light on police expressions censure that things are happening in a proper manner and officers are putting the truth in their reports allowing witnesses to get copies of those reports to verify that and officers are saying in the record is announcing what they saw with the major important reform that would stem abuses and i had a quick question for the commissioners. I wanted to refer you to a group called the institute for justice at ij. Org and they released a report on policing for profit also known as as Asset Forfeiture and this is a practice whereby Police Departments and Law Enforcement agencies will cease property or cash and someone not so valuable but they cease stuff from poor people and the laws are set up its difficult thank you, caller. Commissioner cohen, it looks like you have one more caller. Good evening, caller. You have two minutes. My name is Paulette Brown and im calling concerning my son who was murdered august 14th, 2006. To this day, his case is not solved. Ive been calling for the last 14 years and this is something im going to continue to do. Im just trying to keep my sons memory alive so that you know, when i do call in the Police Commission, sf gov can also the people that are turning into sf gov can hear my story about my son. I am still working on getting the pictures out there. The homicide posters out there to bring awareness to all the unsolved homicides that are happening here in San Francisco. My son, being one. My son was shot 30 times with a semi automatic gun. No mother should have to go through this for the rest of her life. My kids are grown now and im just fighting. I want to bring my sons memory back into i dont have his case number with me that i can say but i was just hoping that the Police Commission keeps my sons memory alive and if anyone i know the other person was there that usually called out my sons name but i dont know if commissioner the new president will do it. If she decides to, i would appreciate it. Ms. Cohen, if she would do it i would really appreciate it. She doesnt have to but its ok. I just wanted to keep my sons memory alive. Ill be glad when i can show my pictures. Thank you, caller. Good evening, caller. You have two minutes. Good evening, caller. You have two minutes. Caller good evening. This is barrie toronto. Im a taxi driver and i work latenight hours. You know, as you know, theres not a lot of business anywhere because the restaurants are closed to indoor dineing and no nightclubs and bars and music venues. So, we have to rely on the business where people are going to actually need a cab. I work oust the cab stand we have next to wall greens on castro. Its 24 hours. Castro and 18th. I had a officer with two officers, price and dejarme. The problem is they treated me horribly. They parked in the red zone at the front of the stab stand and i asked them nicely to give a ticket to the car, illegally parked in the cab stand and i had to be double parked because i couldnt use the cab stand. They refused to give the person a ticket and they said well, we dont want to give tints tickety is having a hard time. I said im not even making minimum wage and you want to not support me using my cab stand. They were extremely rude. In fact, they threatened to give me a double parking ticket if i didnt move my car. Thats the opposite of two officers that help me when i had my tires slashed when i threatened to call the police on someone parking in the cab stand in the same location. Not every officers are like this. Those two were extremely rude. I tied to make a Police Accountability complaint and ive been waiting for a week to do it and no one has returned my call. A guy named elmore is supposed to call me back. I called today and this very nice woman who answered the phone, pat, wanted to help me. But theyre not giving me a call back. So why do you even have an office if we cant even file complaints. But the office of Police Accountability. Thank you, very much. Thank you, caller. Caller, you have two minutes. Thank you. My name is Susan Buckman and im also a member of the wealth and disparities in the black communities and i want to second what the first Public Commenter that was kit hodges and what she said and so thats condemning supervisor safais resolution. I cant even think what to say about that. I mean, it really came oust left field and it shows a real cluelessness about what is needed in the city and its just shocking welcome disparities has been working on this for so long and if you would come to us, we could have the mayor will take the right path and reject this resolution. Thank you. We want the resolution slowed down sfpd reform. We want the Police Commission to be aware of this since youve been working so much on sfpd reform so while its full out flowery language and support of black lives, it extends its really, no mechanism for insuring sfpd meets reforms besides just their own selfreports so that is not holding them accountable. Its making things worse. Despite a year of reinvigorating up rising calling for the end of structural anti black racism im appalled that supervisor safai is actually putting things in the wrong direction whether he realizes or not. Thank you. Thank you, caller. I am folks on staff ready to speak to callers. I dont know how to link the two but if you have the phone numbers for folks that have called in im happy to have my staff reach out to them directly. Director henderson, theyre anonymous. Oh. Ok. Well, maybe then just perhaps director henderson can you they can contact the staff and its 415 2417711 is the direct line and my staff will followup with you directly. Thank you. That concludes. Thank you, very much, director henderson. If you can call item 2. Item 2, adoption of minutes action. For the meeting of january 6th, 2021. Thank you. Colleagues, i think this could be pretty much adopted. Theres one administrative slight typo that i want to bring to our attention. I know 2021 is new but in the mint in the minutes, as of january 17th, there is a minor typo error in the public notice. It lists a january 6th, 2020 when it should be january 6th, 2021. Its very slight and inok lus but if we can make that correction, that would be great. So, i make a motion to correct the date in the minutes and we can vote on that as amended. Ill make a motion to attend the minutes. Can you guys hear me . Yes. So moved. Thank you. Ill make a motion to amend the minutes. Thank you. Looks like we can take this without objection. Without objection to the minutes pass unanimously. Thank you, colleagues. Sergeant, please call item 3. Item 3. Reports to the commission discussion. Weekly crime friends after overview of provided summary of the planned events. This is a brief overview of any unplanned events or activities occurring in San Francisco having an impact on public safety. Commissioner discussion on unplanned events and activities the chief describes will be limited to determining whether to calender for a future meeting. Ok. Thank you. Sergeant, just as a reminder, please set your timer. Each speaker has 10 minutes. At this time, chief. Thank you, president cohen. Good evening, commissioners, Vice President elias, director henderson and the public. This week ill start with crime trends as of january 18th, 2021. Starting with part 1 crime over all up. Property crime is up 9 from last week year to date, however, we are down 39 . Again, its early in the year and these numbers will swing the percentages will swing greatly early in the year because the numbers are smaller. We continue to see an uptick in burglaries and were up 46 in burglary and we went from 266 this time last year to 388 this year. In terms of Motor Vehicle theft, were up 12 and arson were up 82 arson is up nine from 11 last year to 20 this year. Our auto burglaries are down 54 early in the year but our auto burglar hes are down 54 and these numbers will move greatly at the beginning of the year. In terms of Violent Crimes, were down from last week. Someone is on mute. Im getting feedback. If we can can you hear me ok . Again, we are homicides were even with where we were this time last year two homicides for the year. Compared to last month, we had three homicides. Were actually down from last month. Poth of our cases this year vo been clear. One by arrest and one by an appearance for the public exceptional clearance is situation where were unable to prosecute because of circumstances beyond our control and in this case, the individual that committed the homicide also took his own life. Our gun violence is up significantly from last year. The percentage is over 800 and the numbers as they pan out is 19 victims of gun violence this year compared to two last year. Ill give the breakdown of the individual district stations in a second. 17 of our shootings have been non fatal and as i said, two of them have been fatal. In terms of the gun violence by station, we have had four shooting incidents in the bayview, two in the mission, throw in the northern, one in the park, one in ingleside and 3 in the tenderloin and one that resulted in multiple people being shot. The biggest number in the bayview districts with four. As far as significant incidents, as i said, this involves a murdersuicide on the 1500 block of scott and Northern District and our officers arrived and conducted a wellbeing check and discovered that two individuals were deceased. The first was a 9yearold child and second was a 49yearold man. They were father and son. It was deemed this was a murdersuicide and the wellbeing request it was in the area of mission and persia and that incident resulted in a fatal shooting. Three people were shot and one fatally. Our suspect identified in this case area. Two accounts of assault with a semi automatic firearm and discharging a firearm in public. He was in custody from an attempted murder charge in sacramento. This is being prosecuted in Sacramento County as theres a next us from the sacramento Violent Crimes and the San Francisco homicide and these decisions were made with consultations with members of our District Attorney office here in San Francisco. There were seven shooting incidents this week causing 11 victims. One was injured from glass shattered from the shooting. Of there was one in bayview and one on january 11th. There was one in ingleside on january 12th. There was one in january 16th glen and bayview on january 16th. One in bayview on january 17th n tenderloin on january 17th. The tenderloin shooting resulted in five people being shot and we do have four individuals in custody for that shooting. That shooting was in front of a liquor store. We believe that shoot asking shs linked to a homicide. The first one occurred in the tenderloin district and it involved two groups who engage in a fight and gunfire was exchanged and five individuals were shot. There were two shooting incidents. The last thing on the report, is there was one incident with a serious traffic collision and that was at 20th and potrero at that location. Our victim was a 82yearold pedestrian who was struck by a vehicle near the crosswalk. The driver remained at the scene and a pedestrian was transported with lifethreatening injuries. That will conclude my report for this week. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Colleagues. Let me see. Im going to the chat to see if there are any questions. Commissioner brookter is that your hand . I have a question in regards to arson. I know we said that the number isnt large but the 82 just really caught my eye and i was just really wondering, you know, when were capturing this, is it arson at homes, vehicles, public property . Do we capture that type of information . We do. I will say, theres no common theme to these arsons. It can be any of the ones any of the categories you mentioned. Weve had City Property set on fire. Weve had peoples homes or arson started intended for someones home. It could be any of those. I think last year a lot of what drove our arson statistics was what happened with the civil unrest and there were many fires set for that, done that period, anyway. Were not really seeing any def net trends at this point of the year, commissioner. Its a hodge podge of different arsonrelated events. Thank you, chief. Any other colleagues interested in speaking . All right. Hamasaki, is that you . Would you like to add anything to the chiefs report . Sorry, thank you. The one thing i did want to raise was the press release that i emailed. I was emailed from the department today, friday, regarding the shooting, the homicide that arose out of the side show, probably earlier this year our last year. That was the one that i raised at last meeting recording the case that was charged out of county for a crime that occurred here. A homicide that occurred here. Are you familiar with what im talking about . Yes, thats the one i just mentioned, commissioner. Ok. And did you have a understanding or explanation as to why it was filed in sacramento when its San Francisco case . My understanding is that two things, there was a connection with the attempted murder i just mentioned in sacramento and the second thing is that my standing theres a consultation with the San FranciscoDistrict Attorney on their decision to have the sacramento d. A. File everything there, its my understanding. Ok. So, this is something that was approved by our District Attorney . My understanding is that the conversation with our District Attorney. Not the District Attorney but whoever filed the case. Whoever in the District Attorneys office who would handle these types of matters. So, i think id like to and maybe you dont know tonight but id like to get a little bit more understanding as to why a San Francisco case that was, you know, i think we all heard about it. It was a shooting that someone that happened at a side show one of those car events that weve talked about. Why it was brought to another county because i do believe that crimes that occur in San Francisco should be prosecuted in San Francisco as well. That was in consultation with our District Attorney office. The juvenile in question was already in custody fo
