Greer, oic of the general work detail. Id like to recognize officer Michael Grande for his dedication and professionalism of the general work detail. Officer grande has over 18 years of service with the San FranciscoPolice Department since the general work detail was reestablished in march of 2022. Officer grande has been the sole video retrieval officer for and worked hundreds of complex cases as Video Evidence has become increasingly critical for successful prosecution of cases and is frequently the only evidence to identify perpetrators of crimes. This evidence is fleeting and is often retained for as little as one week due to data storage constraints of many systems. Office ser grande has routinely made himself available at hours beyond his normal schedule to obtain his evidence in a timely manner. The officer grande is one of only five members of the sfpd to have completed an intensive week long course on forensic video retrieval and analysis through viva. In addition to the Technical Expertise required to digitally retrieve footage and reliably testify in court, the ability to positively engage the stakeholders that own or manage the video equipment is essential. Officer grande has an exceptional ability to positively interact with people of all backgrounds. Hes familiar with the points of contact out of hundreds of businesses throughout the city. Hes established relationship with these parties and is thats allowed for a more timely release of footage for investigations and to cite just one example of a case during fleet week of 2022, a merchant mariner from the Pacific Northwest was found unconscious in the north beach neighborhood. There were no witnesses present to explain the injuries. Officers completed an initial report for the aided case, not knowing if a crime had occurred. That report was reviewed by Sergeant Spagnolo of general work, who suspected that the mariner was possibly a victim of an assault officer grande was tasked with attempting to locate any possible surveillance footage. This required him to work well outside his normal work hours as most establishments in that neighborhood were evening venues unavailable during normal business hours. He worked for multiple days to track down video system managers of multiple businesses and retrieve footage that led him to believe an assault had taken place based on the multiple parties involved in varying directions of travel, he continued to coordinate with additional businesses for more footage. The victims condition continued to deteriorate in the icu as the investigation continued, officer grande was able to put together images from multiple sources to cover the full sequence of events and identify a suspect and vehicle. Sadly, the victim ultimately succumbed to his injuries. Our homicide unit took over the investigation in utilizing the Video Evidence compiled by officer grande. Eventually, an arrest was made for the homicide due to officer grandes timely and diligent work on the case, bringing closure to that victims family. Officer grande works tirelessly to locate Critical Evidence of Violent Crimes. While doing so, he consistently forms positive relationships with merchants and residents of the city. He has a wealth of knowledge in his specialty and readily helps other members of the department with video retrieval. Hes hes a great representative of the San FranciscoPolice Department and exemplifies the best attributes of a San Francisco cop.

If youd like to make Public Comment, please approach the podium. All youre doing. Mad max is going to be a follow up from what i said this morning. A shift you saw me earlier is going to be important for you all. Im serious. Remember something. Please never forget it. Please. That you own yourself. You own yourself. If its your private property so you dont touch any crap coming to your private property. Okay its important because its your reason for being. Its. Its about your happiness. It works for you to write. It works for everybody. So you private your. Your your. You protect your private property. So now is the time to do it even more than before because basically your private property is under attack. Dont pretend you dont know because it is the facts. So the police does his best. I guess according to the his field of activity. But basically it applies to all of us, right . You own yourself. So everything that comes you have to stay open. We have to stay open. We dont live on a deserted island. We live in society. So we stay open. But when you see that something is coming to you that is not working in your own best interest, you say, stop. Thats it, right . Everything is going to be fine. Then. Hello, my name is jennifer wagoner. Ive been authorized on behalf of the league of women voters of San Francisco to provide Public Comment for them tonight. You received an email from our president , alison goh today, and it says, in january of this year, the Police Commission voted in favor of department general order 9. 07, a comprehensive policy to prohibit racially biased traffic stops in San Francisco. Over seven months later, the policy is still in. Meet and confer. So why is dgo 9. 07 still in . Meet and confer seven months later . Each time the Police Commission meets and does not bring the policy back for final approval, it allows harm against communities of color to continue. Meet and confer has been going on for months with plenty of time to Reach Agreement and move forward. The league of women voters of San Francisco is asking you to bring dgo 9. 07 back to the next Police Commission meeting. Wed like transparency and accountability. Thank you. Hi. I had no agenda to speak tonight except i would actually like to speak to that. Sb 50 just failed at and sb 50 is legislation done by legislators and thats who does legislating. So bringing back that dgo would be an end run against legislation and we are all mindful of these types of traffic stops and nobody is in agreement that racially motivated traffic stops should happen in. However, for example, im a clinical social worker and i know that there are multiple ways you can attack a problem. For example, if a certain demographic is being pulled over on a certain part of town and it is higher than any other demographic for broken tail lights, maybe we fix that situation. Maybe its economic, maybe theres not a place close by. I there are many ways to look at this. But it does need to be looked at. Its just not your place to do it. This you are not legislators. And if it fails, sb 50 failed and that is where it was supposed to not fail. If it wasnt going to. So i would say i disagree with this person. I agree with her in spirit. I agree with the idea that we have to do something about it racially motivated stops. But i dont believe thats the answer. And i certainly dont believe this commission is authorized to override state legislation that has failed. Thank you. Good evening. Thank you for the opportunity. I dont know if there are more effective channels for this proposal. If there are, i hope someone can direct me to them after i make my comment. But id like to propose that we try to bring more civility back to our public discourse. Dis agreement, even wild disagreement is a part of life. But arguments can be advanced using logic and discussion. And id love to see this Commission Set some basic guidelines to promote respectful discourse. So, for example, no screaming or swearing and id know people who dont live in San Francisco. This is our community. These are our community meetings. Thats thats what these commissions is. The board of supervisors is the committees. Thats for the people of San Francisco. This is our town hall. This is our opportunity to speak and be heard. And i and i do not think people from other jurisdictions should be weighing in on San Francisco matters. So im sure there are other channels where this should be discussed. But i wanted to raise it. I want it on the record. I i am tired of attending meetings where there are people screaming and swearing. We need to try to have civility. Not that kind of treatment and disrespect. But thank you. Okay. First, id like to say there is no such thing as a as a racially directed traffic traffic stop. Police have to do their job. They they must investigate any kind of thing concerning the traffic and speeding and all that kind of stuff. They have a feeling and a hunch that something going on they have they have a lot of motivations. And believe me, Police Officers do not spend their precious time targeting racial groups is okay. Police officers get up every morning. They put on their uniforms. They enter the world and spend maybe 10 to 12 hours, i guess, a day fighting for us all. They do nothing but risk their lives every theyre sitting ducks. And i do not think its right for anybody. Anybody to criticize a Police Officer. Do you understand Police Officers live and die for us . Do you hear me . Okay sorry. Anyway i have Something Else to say. Real fast. Oh, by the way, you do not have to Pay Attention to legislation that does not promote the general welfare of the preamble of the constitution. That means anything. Prop 4757, anything you know, involving this and that. You do not have to Pay Attention to it, just overlook it. Nobody can stop you because the police are have Unlimited Power is derived from the Second Amendment of the constitution, which says that the wellregulated militia and the in order to secure the blessing, the security of a free state and the right of people to bear arms, thats to subject to the infringe. And that means that they shall not be limited. You have Unlimited Power, use it. And nobody can challenge it. But ill make this very, very quick. You have. Lots of letters. Thank you. That was the end of the two minutes. Thats the end of the two minutes. Thank you. Yeah, i knew i. Good evening. And i do. There are some. Not all police are bad, but there are some racially profiled. Stopping so i dont agree with you. So. Um, can i use the overhead . I also. I want to thank the chief and all of them for coming out for my sons visual on the 14th. And the chief and sister alberta, an and who else . The robert raurica of the Media Department for coming out on that day. That really means a lot and thank you for doing it as often as youve been doing it. My son was murdered august 14th, 2006. That was itll be 17 years in the 17th anniversary. I bring these names with me every time of the perpetrators who murdered who are caused the calls of murder. And my son, hannibal thomas, paris moffitt, andrew badoo, jason thompson. Thomas Anthony Hunter and Mark S Morris carter. One of them are deceased. One is deceased. Im not sure which one, but hannibal and paris moffitt are still out, probably murdering more people. They were the two main people. So again, i just dont fight for my son. Theres other unsolved homicides. Im talking about all the unsolved homicides, and im still thinking if there is a way to pay tipsters. Did were you able to hire anyone, a new person to come in and investigates all these homicides . And this is me standing over my son. No mother wants to do this. This is what the perpetrators left me. A corpse, my beautiful son laying on a corpse on the table. I wish i had more time to talk. Next item, please, sergeant. Line item three, chief support discussion, weekly crime trends and Public Safety concerns provide an overview of offenses, incidents or events occurring in San Francisco have an impact on Public SafetyCommission Discussion on unplanned events and activities. The chief describes will be limited to determining whether the calendar for future meeting chief scott. Good afternoon, sergeant youngblood. Present Vice President and acting president carter overstone commission and public. Ill be brief with my report tonight. Just starting off with an overview of the crime trends. The overall the were down 3 in part one crimes and the split on that is 4 reduction in property crime. 3 increase in Violent Crime in terms of the homicide, the homicides year to date, we have a total of 40. We had two over the weekend. Both shootings and no suspects in custody on those particular shootings. However, we are still doing well with our clearance rate. So our homicide investigators are working very hard. Were in excess of 70 on the clearance rates with some cases that are close, hopefully to being cleared. In terms of the trends that were seeing, street robberies is a trend that were very concerned about. Were up a little bit over just under 300 robberies year to date , which is a 16 increase. And many of those robberies are armed robberies. We have had made some significant arrests with some very violent armed robbers, but much work needs to be done. There and in terms of gun violence, were up 4 year to date. Gun violence related to homicides. We are even with where we were this time last year and the seizure of guns continues to be one of our focus focus areas. And we are are a little below where we were this time last year with the seizure of guns and a little bit below the ghost gun seizures. This time last year. But well continue to focus on that. A couple of i mentioned the homicides that were reported over the weekend. One that i want to talk about
