guests with us. we have president shaman walton that has time constraints and i want to get him on the (inaudible), particularly interested in hearing his presentation on the strategy. colleagues, i'd like to go ahead, excuse me, i said item 4, i meant item 3. let's call item 3 and i want to hear from president walton first and we can get into the presentation. thank you for allowing me this point of privilege. so, sergeant young blood, i want to table this back to this item and the next item, sorry. >> line item 3, presentation of the california partnership for safe communities executive summary. understanding serious violence in san francisco 2017-2020 discussion. >> with that, hold on a minute, i want to recognize president shaman walton. >> thank you so much, president cohen and i just want to say good evening to the entire police commission and to everyone present. i appreciate the time to come and just really give a high-level overview about what our public safety plan is for district 10, which is very specific to district 10 in the entire district. i will say that most city departments, the mayor, and of course our chief of police have committed to supporting this plan and we're just excited about all the work that we're going to continue to do together to keep communities safe. so, again, it's going to be high-level. just talk about what the components of the plan are, what the focus is and how we arrived at our plan and a lot of folks who are present in this meeting are part of the plan and folks who play a integral role in this work. our office worked on the plan and it was developed through a community plan process and we desperately needed to support. this work is -- if it's to be successful it will involve other partners and stakeholders that are involved. this plan brings together department heads, our street violence intervention and prevention program teams, and sfpd, our community based organizations, and other leaders and our focus is to create change, bring the voice of community to action. our plan aligns with our vision zero for violent crimes and homicides resolution that office office took the lead on which is supported by the entire board of supervisors. i'm going to go overcome phone apartments, including the police department and other take holders as well. one is the increased role of the public safety that increase role includes bringing together our department heads and city leaders and also making sure that we have the resources that go into communities where we see the largest portions of violence or we see most shootings, we see high incidents are violence and making sure that we address them through the resource allocation from our public safety. we have work in district 10, violence prevention which works with all our violence prevention providers and community based organizations as well as community leadership that they have been hired and is working in community as we speak and our third action was to reimagine our community mobilization and piece planning efforts making sure that we're innovative during this pandemic and also to working to provide support and resources for individuals who are out on the front lines every single day like our street violence and intervention as well as other folks working for cvo for forks in the community to keep them safe, keep folks from either being victims of violence or and intervention, mediation and truth negotiations and increased community partnerships and intervention and increase transportation and transit safety and culturally responsive service providers and i do want to add, we're working close with the police department to provide impact strategies for the population that is now and looking at the data being more responsible for some of the crimes in terms of age and we know that we have older groups of the population now that are either victims of violence or perpetrators of violence so we're focusing on that target population through it work. we're asking the following to ensure the safety of every person and in san francisco in district 10, one violence prevention teams to provide street outreach to high and in risk youth impacted by violence and to continue to work with our street violence intervention and prevention team to build a response and awareness team to help provide services to our communities throughout the city. i think specific to the police department we're asking for officers to be stationed in hotspots throughout the district and community officers that established positive relationships with families and neighborhoods and officers that think how they can support and be of a community before anything else and also, asking for the police department to deploy foot patrols and community violence prevention strategies through police presence and this means that we know in union square and peer 39 and other areas that were prioritized would have foot patrol and police presence and some believe is what we know the damage demonstrates and violent crimes exists and we need to have a shift and conversations in terms of making sure that our communities are looking out for. we're not asking for a police presence and only comes into community and response to incidents but we're talking about hopes and individuals who are part of our communities that are there spending time to get to know the people knowing the parents, children and grandparents and coming to the events and it doesn't have to involve being in your uniform. that is a major part and major piece of our plan working with the police department and this past budget cycle, resources for district 10 to provide more jobs and more activities and more case management and services for our transitional ages and adults and we understand it will continue to go in circles. this plan was presented 20 every department head that place a role and presented to this police department in the leadership in the department. it also has and was signed off by all of our chiefs and chief of police and all of our captains and within district 10. i see captain danger field is here and captain moon also supported and captain marin and we know that captain jones is also supportive of our plan. we did have a community conversation with community based organizations to talk about what their role is within the plan and we will have another last appreciate and public safety forum soon for everybody to provide input but i do want to thank sf, svip, sfpd and i want to thank the team from my office and all the communities that played a role. if you haven't seen the plan, i would definitely put a link in the chat to the plan. most of the folks here are participating in some way shape or forms and i will make sure that we get the plan out to everyone and the goal really to bring all this stakeholders who are involved addressing violence and specifically to district 10. some of the themes and some of the strategies that in our plan are not rocket science and they're not new but they're specific to the district. they're definitely focused on the data that demonstrates and shows where most violent crimes occur and sometimes police deployment, sometimes we have not had strategies that focus on those areas the way that we should proportionately and we want to make sure that we do everything in our power to make it happen. >> does that conclude my presentation? >> yes, i am done. >> i would appreciate if you could, put a link in the chat. >> of course. >> that would be great. are there any questions that you have for us president walton. none? >> thank you for being here, president walton. i am really happy that you are here and. >> thank you, i look forward to (inaudible). somebody's dog or something? the street violence intervention is something that i've been raising with the police and i was curious from a district supervisor and resident being on the ground have you found out to help really under this successful in intervening in vile violence before it happens. >> yes, definitely been able to do a good job and preventing violence and in terms of mitigating response after action happens. they put their lives on the line 24/7 and i don't think people really understand what they have to do with as being on the frontlines. preventing people from killing each other and committing violent crimes, is a hard skill to develop but the most important thing is what i think anybody needs to understand is that these folks are putting their lives on the line effort and they're able to talk to individuals who may be perpetrators of violence and talk to violence and we need to mediate any existing issues or concerns and make sure that we can stop things from happening and stop incidents of violence from increasing. they do this on a daily basis. sometimes i think they get a bad wrap because violence still continues to exist. i would say if we look at this year compared to last year, thank god, we're fortunate that violence crimes and shooting and homicides are down comparative to last year at this time. and so we're finding out ways to be innovative during this pandemic. and it's been a major piece of that and we all got work to do in this. that goes for our other c.b.o.s and police departments and that goes for other elected leaders in the city. we all have a role to play but our team and folks who are on the ground put their lives on the line everyday and so they do make an impact. it can't be quantified from how we see hour programs. >> thank you very much, supervisor. >> i'm trying to put the plan in the chat but i don't know how to work this thing. >> it's up there. we have it. >> ok. >> post it on the commission website to people can also view it as well. >> thank you. this webex chat is messing with me. thank you supervisor walton for your leadership and as a resident, here in the district as well and also lead are a community based organization, very well versed and i want to share with folks, it looks like district 10 public safety form is taking place monday, march 22nd. our own chief scott will be there, president walton and also district attorney. if we can, pass that information to the commission and maybe get it up so that folks can attend from the district as well, too. >> that hot off the press. >> it was like 27 minutes ago. >> inside scoop, huh. >> social media. >> president cohen: that's really good to hear. thank you for sharing that. it's news to me. if there are no other questions, commissioners -- president walton, thank you for stopping by and making a presentation. you are welcome to hangout. we are going to have a good presentation now from the california partnership of safe communities executive summary. and are you ready to go? i will turn the meeting over to you. welcome. >> that's already. i want to thank president walton for coming and for the rentation and to support you and thank you for all you do. >> president cohen: great. all right, thank you. we're going to go to (inaudible). >> so, president cohen -- >> president cohen: i'm sorry, chief scott. >> thank you, president cohen. i'm going to open up and my introduction is going to be very brief because i'm excited to pass the baton to the california partnership. let me open up with high-level over arching goals of what we're trying to accomplish in this partnership. i'll take five seconds to say that i told you this privately, thank you and the board of supervisors from a couple years ago for helping us get the funding to establish this partnership and this work. it happened through a budget request when you were on the board so i want to thank you for that. that has really i think, got us started in a positive way so thank you for that. when we -- the vision for this partnership, we're to do three things and it's always the bottom line. do we want to reduce shootings and touchdowns? do we want to reduce victimization while statement reducing arrest for community members at the highest risk of violence and we want to build trust between the san francisco police department and communities most impacted by violence. >> president cohen: chief, i need to take public comment. >> sorry. >> president cohen: i know you were getting worked up. hold on. hold on. >> president cohen, was this still part of agenda item number 3, if so we can take it after the chief's speech. >> president cohen: yes, this is all part of agenda item 3. >> no problem. >> president cohen: let her rip, chief. >> and the three things that are over arching goals and the california partnership is a locally and nationally recognized expert on the design and implementation of public safety strategies to hit those three goals which they termed and we termed the triple bottom line. again, reducing gun violence for shootings, including homicides, reducing victimization, for most at risk and while at the same time reducing arrest or the community members and communities that are at the most risk of this type of violence. we hope to build trust with communities most impacted by violence. a couple things before i turn this over, that is a snapshot of our city's homicide from 2017 to mid 2020 and also the last 18 months or so of shootings that cause injuries and as a part of this work as you will see in this presentation, we wept out and persuade a grant the cal v.i.p. grant and really the grant was meant to enhance a very work at you talked about commissioner hamasaki tonight and president walton and that is intervention and services and getting services to the people who are most at risk we're giving most of it away. we can help that work get to the finish line if you will. again, also the last thing i want to say is part of this plan is to ship our focus away from the quote-unquote gang investigations and really the focus is on preventing shootings which is say big part of what the analysis tells us that is a problem and people involved in one group or another but it's a social network of adult men is that is the primary driver of this problem so you hope you all will appreciate the work that has gone up into this analysis up and to this point and talk about next steps and hopefully we'll be permitted to have another meeting and present on those next steps in detail and with that i would like to turn this over to the california safety partnership of state communities. >> thank you chief scott. good evening, everyone, thank you inform commission president cohen, commissioners, president walton i appreciate the opportunity to be here tonight to present the findings of the office of violence and if i could ask for the presentation to be put up. i'm joined, my name is von crandell from i'm joined tonight by my colleagues senior partner reagan cunningham and also our frequent collaborator dave mohammad of the national criminal justice reform. we are going to go to analysis of key findings and and for violence intervention and prevents events in the city, next slide, please. a lint about our organization, we're not a group we work as a collective and we come from a array of backgrounds and we have roots and community and problem oriented policing and reentry and as a chief said, our goal in the work that we do is to help cities advance. reduce violence while reducing the use of arrest, improving outcomes for people impacted by violence and building police trust. we care about research tells bus this problem and what works to make progress on it. to do this, we help cities and departments develop a variety of strategies and capacities and we always start with a type of analysis that we're presenting tonight and and when we do that, for two primary reasons. one is the approach that works best around reducing serious violences in a ray of partners working together and president walton spoke to that as did many other commissions tonight and callers if what we observe is different key stakeholders have different ideas about the nature of the problem so it's different align them around a shared solution. so chief referred to this already. these are our goals and the other piece that i would mention now is we also have a research partner and scholar who has done work nationally and internationally and police reform strategies and part of what dr. drag a will look at historically what strategies have helped san francisco in the long-term and reducing the use of arrests and acknowledging that there's significant strength already at work in the city of san francisco and we want to build on those through this work. in the interest of time, next slide, please. next slide. so what is a problem analysis. a well developed menthol odd gee used developed over the last 25 years and it's been used in dozens of cities and essentially seeks to do two things, establish a common understanding of the local vinens probably so that community, civic and criminal justice can reduce violence and identify and a community who had the greatest risk of violence so we can taylor interventions to help them reduce that risk and again while minimizing the use of arrests. this particular analysis with all homicides in the city of san francisco and every homicide from the beginning of 2017 to the middle of 2020 and all injuries shootings from the beginning of 2019 to the middle of 2020 and that represents 471 unique individuals whoa are directly shot or named as suspects in shootings their homicides. next slide. next slide. so, when we started this analysis, we look at what are the long-term trends in terms of violence in a major city. this is the long-term in san francisco. there is a significant increase in the homicide rate in the late 2000s that somewhat unusual. most cities were peaking in the mid to late '90s and there's a sustained reduction from 2009 really through the present or through 2019 and so this is part of the value of research partnership with dr. braga. in light of this trend so the long-term use of both misdemeanor and felony arrest in san francisco is a large reduction over the last 30 years of 72% and so when we come in and we do this work in a variety of cities and we see a major city that is reduced homicides and the use of arrests, we say there's something important going on there that we want to understand so that's general con tech. when we do the analysis we looked at all the homicides in the city of three and a half years and all the non fatal shootings in a year and a half. and we're looking at them from different angles. what can we learn about the folks involved? are they coming to the contact of justice system and if so how. where do these things take place and what are the motives that drive the violence and why is it happening? the first summary findings is we look at those and this isn't essentially what we find. suspects and victims of homicide in shootings are older adults with the history and violence impacting men of color and it's been discussed and at length tonight and the average sage of victims of suspect of homicide are 37. 70% have previously been arrested an average of 15 times at time of homicide. with we lock at non fatal shootings, the age is younger but the average age is 28-years-old for anyone involved in a shooting in san francisco and they have been arrested 13 times and 70% of the victims and suspects and 80% of the shooting victims are black and latino men even though they have the city's population. this age distribution is three points and i'll be brief. no one sunday the age of 18 who is involved in homicide and san francisco during the three and a half years. under this grown bracket, the 18 to 35-year-old age range is where gun homicide victimization concentrates. when we look to the 35 and older age bracket, this is primarily non gun homicides that have a connection to various street disorder conditions that we'll talk about more in a moment. this is the same distribution for non fatal shootings and it just illustrates very few people inv
