In San FranciscoLaw Enforcement officials are discussing police use of force. As ktvus Christien Kafton reports that meeting focused on greater account afternoon. Reporter more than 200 officers from around the state gathered at the university of San Francisco. The aim to discuss the use of force. Obvious al hot button issue nationwide. We are taking a long look at it. What we can do better and how we can increase our partnership with the community. Reporter the keynote speaker, sheriff jim mcdonald, says policing is a difficult job. Thats the reason they need to come together to share best practices. We ask an awful lot of our people but what they do in the field is critically important to us. We have to hold our people to a very high standard. Reporter act San Francisco police chief tony chaplain says accountability is a priority for his department. Thats why they have already taken steps to monitor interactions between officers and the public. As of last month we have deployed 1500 body worn cameras to provide a fuller picture of what happens. Reporter officers attending today say they are hoping to take what they learn here and apply it on the job. Being able to come together in a meeting like this and share ideas and share what people are doing in different departments is helpful. It helps us learn best practices. It helps us grow as a Law Enforcement community. Reporter the symposium runs thursday and friday. In San Francisco, Christien Kafton, ktvu fox 2 news. One of the speakers today, retired commander richard korea. We are joined by him now. What was your main message today . Well, you know, the main message of our panel was to talk about Community Engagement and the intersection of Law Enforcement, first responders, and mentally ill folks. The challenges that are presented by those. We wanted to cover the history and give these folks some take aways about changing the world and reducing the lethality of those situations. The underlying theme is that no one is happy with the outcomes of these situations. Mental illness and homeless go together, and the problem has increased in terms of population in major cities across the country including San Francisco where you were for 35 years. Give us an indication of how big a problem this has become for Police Officers. Well, you know, if you look at the history of maybe the last 20 years and the reduction in funding for Community Mental health services, you take the stigmatization of people seeking treatment, you have a huge untreated population, estimated at 20 to 25 of the folks in our community that could use some Mental Health treatment. But in terms of day to day these officers are going to maybe 30 of their calls, some where between 15 and 30 , depending on where you are locate. So its a significant part of the day. It leaves us wondering are Police Officers the best ones to be responding to these calls or is it something where we need to come up with some new solutions. What would be a useful solution there . Because Police Officers are on the front line now, and they may or may not have the proper tools to deal with the problem, but right now theyre the ones interacting with the homeless with the mentally ill. Is the best practice while this is the situation to make sure officers do have the tools to deal with the problem . Well, absolutely. I think one has to be the training to recognize the Human Factors on the part of the officers what they perceive. These are complicated dynamic situations that can escalate quickly. The main tools we commend officers are to create time and space, to back up, when they have that option to control things. However, we also have to have alternatives. There has to be treatment available. There has to be things beyond going to jail or going to the hospital. We also question, i think the panel pointed out, do we want treatment in response to these sorts of problems to be at the stage when its a police matter, or do we need to back that up a little bit. And i think were at the point of the discussion right now. Former sfpd commander richard core correia, thank you. Protesters calling for criminal charges to be filed against San Francisco police in a deadly officer involved shooting. Protesters held signs indicating the 679 days that have now passed since the death of a construction worker who was shot and killed by plainclothes officers in february 2015. Initially police said he had lunged at officers. However two, separate autopsy reports showed that he was shot in the back. This double standard for Law Enforcement has become an accepted way of fact in our nation. Thats why we are seeing killing after killing go unpunished and uncharged. According to data recently presented to the San FranciscoPolice Commission there are currently 15 open investigations into Police Shootings in the city. Three of them date back to 2014. In the south bay Santa Clara County services were shut down for the day because of a power outage. Dozens of people who work at the building were september home for the day. Were told switching equipment inside the building failed this morning. The county building handles everything from permits to birth certificates. Some people were left a little bit disappointed. Needed a birth certificate so i can go out of the country for traveling so im hoping to get it online. That is the idea. Im used they have an online service, but it would have been nice to get my birth certificate today. Power was also knocked out to Santa Clara County sheriffs headquarters but sheriff lori smith said they switched over to emergency generators. One person is recovering after being injured in a fire inside a condominium in Forest Knolls neighborhood. When firefighters arrived flames were coming from a back window. Firefighters pulled the woman out of the cob dough. She wasnt conscious and suffering from smoke inhall laismghts she was taken to the hospital in critical condition. The flames also damaged the condo nextdoor. We were able to stop it from spreading. These buildings are connected. It could easily get from one building to another. Thats why we immediately called a second alar. We saw smoke coming out of the second building off the rooftop. As we fought the fair we determined it didnt spread to the second unit. It took about 30 minutes to put this fire town. Cause is under investigation. Coming up, a disturbing case out of chicago. Two men, two women charged with torturing their victim on facebook live. Those charges theyre now facing. Also, after a dismal Holiday Shopping season macys announcing that it plans to close dozens of stores. It also has plans for others including the macys at stones town. Were tracking some significant rain. We are going to see flood concerns around the bay area and even mudslide issues. Well talk about that when i return. Wall street continuing to react to news from macys that it plans to close 100 stores and lay off nearly 10,000 employees. Macys stock tasked nearly 10 yesterday and then today macys stock continued to struggle dropping another 5 closing today at 30. 86 a share. In San Francisco two macys are affected by that announcement. We found out last year that the store in union square was sold. Now changes are coming to the macys at stones town mall in the sunset district. Thats where we find thats where we find ktvus tara moriarty. Reporter the company has announced this store has been sold. This woman has been shopping here for years. I have four boys so i am here a lot. And that will be quite a trek to have to go elsewhere. Reporter she and others say they are disappointed that their local macys is one of 100 Stores Nationwide that is going to be shuttered. It is going to be weird. I didnt know about until now. Reporter macys is selling the 280,000squarefoot store to General Growth Properties for 41 million. The company sold the mens store to Stanley Morgan for 250 million in october. Macys says while we are pleased with the Strong Performance of our highly developed Online Business we continue to experience declining traffic in our stores where the majority of our business is still transacted. Customers say they will miss the convenience of the stones town location. Having to replace that with a journey, either downtown and deal with the park there, or on the freeway is definitely not ideal. Reporter gdp will lease the space back to macys but will not say what it is doing long term until january 30th. We have redeveloped and are currently redeveloping over 100 big box sites over the past five years. The macys at stones town represents a further opportunity for us to had a value to the properly. If i wanted to go to macys i would probably to have go to serramonte. But there is a target so hopefully that makes up for some of the loss. Reporter that target will be going in where the Old Sports Authority used to be. Macys plans to lay off 6200 employees nationwide. Most of those store associate jobs. Tara moriarty, ktvu fox 2 news. Just another unfortunate indication of the demise of Big Department stores. Thank you, tara. Significant rain has fallen, and it will fall as we go into the next couple of days. Even so in the mountains this week the lake tahoe area has seen over seven feet of snow in some places like up at squaw valley, almost 70 inches at sugar bowl. Significant snow. That snow could be a problem. Were expecting to see rain on some of the snowier lower slopes. And thats going to cause a lot of runoff. Here is what we are tracking. Its an atmospheric river. We used to call it a Pineapple Express in the day but see the origin. Theres the has theres the hawaiian islands. Theres a very deep level of moisture coming 2200 miles off the pacific. Its a very narrow band where. That ends up is where theres going to be problems. That band right now is focus mainly more towards like the big sur, santa cruz area, more towards the santa cruz to monterey, southern sierra nevada. But lots could change between now and then. Were all going to get rain but its the difference between three and four inches or five to ten inches in the coastal hills which as you know will cause problems. Theres that southerly jet. You see it flying in there. The cloud cover outside, we had a nice day to dry out. A chance for the creeks to come down. Tomorrow is going to be another day like that which is really, really very, very important to have this. If we had ongoing rain and it kept coming and kept the creeks full, we would be in some more trouble than normal. But with these breaks, all the creeks have an opportunity to come down. You get the idea. A day like today, then by tomorrow night and into saturday morning it starts to rain. But the real rain shows up on your bay area sunday morning. So heres our transition day tomorrow, but still dry. Yea. Heres a wet day. Maybe an inch and a half, maybe a half inch, but not a gullywasher. Then the main event is right in here in the sweet spot where we could see a significant amount of rain depending on where the focus is of this atmospheric river. Were looking from bay area south for the heaviest rain, going all the way to Santa Barbara. Parts of l. A. Are going to get heavy rain, and high snow levels. Thats the story. Tomorrow is another nice day, then it changes. When i come back we will get more into what you can expect and maybe how you are going to spend your saturday and sunday. Well see you back here. All right, bill. Lots of people will be spending saturday and sunday getting ready, he is special in marin county. It is one area that will likely be hit especially hard.

Reporter bracing for some intense rain this weekend, sandbags sit outside many storefronts along this avenue. The floodgates for the front and back door are ready to go to hopefully prevent any damage to the business. Im just concerned about the store, because i will to have clean it up afterwards. Reporter and it has been a busy morning at this sandbag station on sunny hills drive in st. Anselmo. The water comes rushing down there when we get a lot of rainfall. Reporter this man says he is worried about the creek near his house. I have read it, and it sort of scared me. Not sort of. It scared me. Reporter some are using the storms to make some extra cash. This 16yearold said he posted an offer to fill sandbags for people and he has had quite a few takers. I delivered 10 sandbags for 20 to people. So far ive gotten a lot of spoons, mainly from the elderly and from businesses. And so im just Getting Started on that. Emergency workers are preparing for all sorts of problems from flooding to downed trees to widespread power outages.

The county is also going to be carefully monitoring several creeks. The ones theyre most worried about, fairfax, sleepy hollow, and san anselmo. Officials say if they see any serious flooding in low lying areas they are prepared to issue evacuation orders. The coming storm could leases to the closure of Yosemite National park. Forecasters say heavy rain is expected in the park which could push the merced river well above flood stage. If that happens yosemite could close. Park officials are monitoring the situation and will make a decision on the closure perhaps a little later today or tomorrow based on the forecast. The last time the park flooded was in 199
