Theyre always on call, they never turn down a case. They take every single case thats presented to them, and theyve done an outstanding job over the last year. So we brought them all in to recognize them. So first off is, lieutenant kelvin sanders. Hes the oic of the unit. Then we have, sergeant domingo williams. We have officer anthony talarico. Did he make it there . Hi we have, Sergeant Scott warnick. We have Sergeant John hallisey. We have retired captain Dominic Celaya of the cold case unit.

Shes been there, i think longer than everybody. Yeah, she replaced lily. Could not talk to me without her whatsoever. Thanks, lisa. Thanks for everything. Thank you. And if i can just say its lisas birthday saturday. Oh, she wants us to know. See what we do for you. Yes. Thank you. 25. Wow. Thats right. And we have two new, Police Service aides here. They just started a couple of weeks ago. Come on. Part of this. Come on. We have anne dixon and eric heenan. Theyre new to the family. Great. Well, first of all, thank you all for coming. I really appreciate it, a couple things i want to say is thank you for your service. An 85 clearance rate is phenomenal. Its probably one of the best in several counties surrounding counties. I know were ahead of oakland, and san jose and some of the other counties. So that is really something to be proud of. Secondly, i want to thank your families because i know that without them, you probably wouldnt be here, while youre doing the your job and protecting the city and getting this clearance rate to where it is, theyre at home taking care of the home front. Your children and Everything Else that you arent there to be. Also i recognize that the one, two, three, 4 a. M. Calls that you have to get out of bed to go and answer these calls and really do your job. And so i want to thank you for your service, because i know that its not easy. And not only does it take a toll on you, but it takes a toll on the family unit as well. So i want to thank your family. Thank you for your service. And i want to thank you, lieutenant, for including the Cold Case Division as well, because i think that the that unit also goes unrecognized. And, as i indicated to you in the hall, you know, its like the Unsung Heroes you appear in the middle of the night or any hour of the day to go and respond to calls. And you see some of the most horrific, traumatic things that people see. And you are there and you do your job. So i want to thank you. I also want to thank you, madam secretary, because as we all know, you are probably the real machine of this operation. And, you know, im sure they just facilitate paperwork. I this is my second family. Yeah, i love all of them. Great. Ive been with them. Well, not all of them, but like 37 years. So i love it. Wow. Yeah. So you started when you were like five, like. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. Yes. And im so happy. Sergeant jones you know, when i first joined the commission, hes the one that raised me. So all my bad habits. You can thank him for. So with that, im going to turn it over to the chief. Thank you, president elias, i just also want to say thank you to this, to all of the homicide unit. I mean, the amount of dedication and commitment that it takes to just to work that unit is beyond what a lot of people would believe, but they do it. And many of them have been doing it for years, they dont complain. They just come in and do the work. And i know i wish we solved every case. We dont solve every case. But as you said, their clearance rates, for the last several years has been extremely high. And for the ones that dont get solved, they dont give up on these cases. And ive seen it time and time again. I also want to thank our retired members who came back to work these unsolved cases, because we definitely need their expertise and their support. And again, for the people who have cases who have not been solved, they dont give up. And its just a relentless unit and, you know, nothing but high praise for our homicide unit. So thank you all for what you do. And lisa and the new two psas. We know that, you know, we cant do our work without help and support. And youve been with the Department Almost 38 years and, its really great to congratulate you and thank you for your work as well. So thank you. And thank you to the commission for bringing everybody in and supporting the entire homicide unit. So thank you very much for that. Thank you, chief director henderson. Yeah, i just want to say so two things. The 85 clearance rate is youre not getting enough credit for that. That is huge. The National Average is i looked it up, 52. 3. I mean, the fact that this is what San Francisco is doing and where we are right now for our rate is really important. I just think its a very big deal. So i hope you guys are proud of the work that youre doing. But the secondary thing is i think its really important. I know so much of the work is behind the scenes, and youre not frequently featured on tv and at commissions for the work that you do, but just as a sign of how relevant the work is that you do, we talk about some of the cold cases and unsolved homicides literally every week, and Paulette Brown is here in the hearing room today. Shes here every week talking about not just her case, but the work that gets done that all of you do every single day. So i think its extra relevant that you guys are here for Police Commission to come and talk about the work thats actually being done and the work that still needs to be done. And so thank you all for continuing your work, and thank you for being here tonight. Its really appropriate and really relevant to the conversations that we have every single week. So thank you and continued success. Thank you. Director henderson. I think you bring up a great point because its not the cases that you solve, but its the ones that go unsolved and that probably haunt you. And i think eat away at you, that are very stressful. And you carry with you no matter where you go. I mean, even if you get transferred or move on to a different unit. I think those cases stick with you, and sort of are burned in your memory. And theyre the most difficult because theyre the ones you cant solve or cant prove. So commissioner benedicto, thank you very much. President elias, i want to echo what everyone has said, and thank you all so much, for all that you do and recognizing that exceedingly high, high clearance rate. I do also like president elias did want to take a moment to call out lisa and wish you an early happy birthday, and thank you for coming today. My own mother has spent her career as an assistant, and just as i know that the men that you work for would be would be adrift at sea without her. Im sure the same is true of this entire unit, so thank you for your work there. I also want to echo something that director henderson said, which is about the work that you do that is unseen in. Weve had a lot of weve had a number of high profile homicides that have been solved and that the units done tremendous work and gotten recognition for that. But i think its the homicides that dont make National News that dont get all the attention that you work just as hard as the ones that are, and that you dont see your work as trying to, to, to solve the ones that are high profile, that you treat all those cases, and work them relentlessly, like the chief said. And so i thank you for doing that. I do want to acknowledge, like director anderson did, that we have Paulette Brown in the room who has been a tireless advocate for calling attention to, her own son, aubrey, as well as the many unsolved homicides. And i know that thats something that you all care deeply about, too. So thank you for all you do and all you continue to do. Youre an exemplary part of this department and have our recognition and thanks. No one else on the dais. Thank you very much. Thank you. Come down for the photo. We have wine or champagne or you stay there. I just. You know, we got to get it for the gram, so get in. Get in together. Might need to come up. Up here, out. Im sorry. Commissioners. No, no. Youre fine, youre fine. Do you want us to move . No, i think youre good. You want to center . Thank you. Doctor president. While youre there, alex, that will never happened. Commission staffs in the photo two. They dont realize it. Just are. Yes. Thank you, thank you. All right. Thanks to. Members of the public who would like to make Public Comment regarding line item one. Please approach the podium. Good evening, president elias and commissioners, im jim salinas, a native san franciscan born and raised in the mission district. I lived in San Francisco my entire life. Commissioners, im here tonight to ask that you take on one more obligation, one more responsibility, and i fully appreciate the fact that you are all volunteer citizens and you dont get paid to do this. You do it because you love the city, and you know that theres some good that comes of it. So, commissioners, im here because. Excuse me, sir, i just paused your time for one second. This is going. This is not general Public Comment. Thats the next line item. This is just on the officer recognition. If you want to make comment on that, my apologies. I didnt hear you say that. Okay. No problem. Thank you. Go ahead. Since im here a lot and i see these commendations a lot, i just wanted to say thank you so much for doing this and giving these commendations. Its wonderful to see the excellent work recognized. So thank you. Thank commissioners. That is the end of Public Comment. If you would like to make Public Comment regarding line item one, yes, but its not line one, general Public Comment is next. Thank you. So sorry. No line item two general Public Comment at this time. The public is now welcome to address the commission for up to two minutes on items that do not appear on tonights agenda, but are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the Police Commission under Police Commission. Rules of order. During Public Comment, Neither Police or epa personnel nor commissioners are required to respond to questions by the public, but may provide a brief response. Alternatively, you may submit Public Comment in either of the following ways. Email the secretary at the Police Commission at sfpd. Commission at sf gov. Org or written statements may be sent via Us Postal Service to the Public Safety building located at 1245 third street, San Francisco, california. 94158. If youd like to make Public Comment, please approach the podium. Good evening again. I think every other week for me is enough for you because you need to release the pressure which is over everybodys head and its obviously a all right, to be. Are you okay, chief . I hope so, i mean, do not resign no matter what. Keep in mind, are you going to manage to pay for the situations . You know, you we pay for what we do. There is no escape. Its no way. But do not resign. Just wait to be fired. Its different because then you make the person who fires you pay a little more. Its difficult for when you have responsibility as a, for example, as a in the police, because you pay for your your functions and you pay individually for your own self. You see. So its tough, its tougher, which dont waste too long before finding out a way. Are you going to pay for what happened and what its still going on anyway . Specific the reason why you should go push sort of against autonomous cars. Im talking about that. Its because its, basically its in the hands of a sort of unintelligence, an unintelligent is dangerous no matter what. At some point, something they cant do, you can do because at some point there is okay, remember that one. Just try to fight against this autonomous cars. I dont think its going in the right direction. 25 seconds, where should i say, ill be back. Try to help, basically, my mission is that its for happiness for everybody. I remind you that i want nothing, just that happiness for everybody. But we have to Pay Attention before i go, nothing can stop me. You cant stop me without basically committing suicide. Im serious. But lets be honest. Thank you for being here. Weve missed you these past couple weeks. Does he look tired . I think we are. Hi, everyone. My name is daisy aussem, and i wanted to just report on something thats going on in the community, which is the use of several technologies that are being run by different space satellites and floating points coming from outer planets. So theres a specific technology where you can upload somebody and you can put sound into their ear. They call it synthetic telepathy, and its a technology that deloitte and all the big consulting firms have talked about and helped to build out and its been causing a lot of chaos because theyre uploading people and then theres racial chanting, or theyre trying to get information because theres an element of neuro monitoring to this technology. Ive worked a lot in Behavioral Health. I used to work at dcyf. Ive done a lot of advocacy and work with the police, and i feel like this is like one of the biggest issues in our community. I know you see that the crime spree thats been going on, as a part of this suite of technologies, its chemical servers that can go ahead and override the electricity, aka mantissa that youre coding in your computer and bring in outside databases that you can go ahead and use to edit like anything, any part of a database that you want to edit. And this is where were getting a lot of the data breaches. Ive been doing a lot of coding tutorials on my page. I have a small Developer Community where were basically trying to close this hacking down. Thats been causing a lot of problems because essentially they created an entire copy of all of the banks cash app, everything, everyones bank account and people that are working in city and county, state, San Francisco, city and county of San Francisco, working in the assembly, working in the senate, are using this technology to move peoples money around. And we figured it out. And now everything that weve been putting on our youtube has come up in the news. So we can clearly say that weve been having a major effect. I know youve been hearing about the outages. A lot of that is in our small Developer Community, and im going to release a specific tool to the community where theyre going to be able to get access to everyones public information. I
