okay. that concludes that with the mayor's office and the make a wish foundation 6 thousand children are effected a successful season for us and with that, that was our community engagement i'll run introduce the states for the year before we do the homicide portfolio and start with traffic 2016 our traffic company issued 4 thousand plus speed violations which was one and 8 increase of 2015 combined with the district stations 9 thousand speed violations it was a total of 13 thousand plus for citywide issuance which is an increase of 23 percent increase and 2016 data is a 19 reduction in dui from 2014 to november data our december data is not yet complete a 27 percent reduction in bicyclist collisions from 2015 again january to november, december is not available yet a fatality update in december 23, 201618 and fulsome a vehicle versus vehicle one vehicles eastbound by an elderly male and obstructed a vehicle on 18 the elderly male passed away with the medical slash condition and the death, however, the determination is made only by the examiners office and another involved in january the pedestrian was crossing with the green light and had a medical episode and collapsed directly in front of a motorist and in the intersection with a green light and substantially ran over the pedestrian the motorist remained at the scene and side cops and initially tried to leave but was transported with a collapsed lung and medical conditions if appear life-threatening a citywide states for december 30th the desaturation with 3 we had 17 vehicle stops and 14 citations and one vehicle was towed. >> crime trends for 2015 two homicides for 2017 and ended the year with 58 a 67 increase by 6 from 2014 we ended with 52 our shooting victims 20175 victims and 2016 end with nine hundred plus and identical in 2014 the crime ways down and the total was one thousand 12 so far for 2017 vehicle burglaries are down 3 percent and new year's eve states 4 felon arrests and 2021 drudge arrests and medical calls and the two homicides for the year as far two on january 1st in the bayview district no arrests 11:25 p.m. and the officers responded regarding a shots fired and the officers located an unresponsive person with a shot to the head and the person was transferred and succumbed to his injuries surveillance cameras are reviewed no arrests the second homicide on the same data occurred at the 214 the officers responded with a report of a shooting the officers located a unresponsive male with a wound to the chest the officers gave aid and however that victim succumbed to his injuries and the subject was detained the surveillance cameras were located in the area, no arrests were made and there were two shootings in the reporting period that was on the 29 of december and responded to the general hospital and prior to the officers arrive the dispatch said the fires were several that were fired the officers were informed by the trauma unit that personnel that the victim suffered shoots to the chest according to 9 victim the vehicle drop off past the vehicles - a suspect- we respond and bayview issued a - the second shooting in the bayview district on the 30th of december at approximately 54 minutes after midnight the officers responded to northridge the victim was shot in the head on arrive the victim was had a laceration and she was listed in stable condition according to the victim a knock on the door and she was shot twice the victim gave information to the officers bullet fragments in arrests were made by the investigation unit and that concludes that with that, i will ask homicide i'm sorry investigation staff to come up for the presentation on the notification and response portfolios in that case. >> good evening my name is captain bryan the captain of the major criminal justice unit thank you to the members of the public just to pass on about the lady that was shot in the face under was an arrest warrant made today on that we're happy that person has been taken off the streets so i was asked here tonight to clarify some of the questions about our procedures about response notifications to officer-involved shootings on the commission with several questions that were put forward to us and i was going to answer those the best i could i also wanted to give you an update on the year to date cleaners the chief said we have total homicides this year i think what was recorded in the examiner was 59 their including the park homicide that is the park police so we didn't include that in our homicides for the year of those 58 total homicides we had we have made 31 arrests that is a 53 percent clearance for this year, however, what we do - >> i'm sorry captain o'brien. >> how many. >> 31 arrests out of the 58 homicides. >> it is very good by the way, what is better our homicide detail the uniform crime reporting the way we report crime nation wide from the homicide occurs let's say in 2013 or 2014 and the arrest is made in 2016 we count that towards our arrests that year for the year of the arrest is made so our arrest percentage right now is 71 percent clearance so in addition to the 31 arrests of the 58 homicide we made numerous arrests from prior years okay for example, in 2015, 52 homicide and our clearance was 60 percent we're up 11 percent for the uniform crime reporting our homicide investigators are working hard and everyone that includes the task force and night investigations and homicide we work together we are kind of co-mingle in the investigations. >> i'm sorry captain i want to understand 58 homicides out of 58, 31 arrests and then end of the 2014 arrests will not come and do that. >> correct. >> but that will be a separate reporting that will be counted towards the year. >> i'm telling you 31 people for the 58 homicide we've cleared 31 cases. >> so we are not counting the prior. >> united states uniform crime reporting and the law enforcement any report no matter what year we solved a case from 2014 and arrested in 2015 in addition to the 31 people we have more people we've arrested this year. >> thank you that's trall. >> up to 71 percent that's what we report. >> i know that is very confusing and still you confuses us sometimes that's all that's how they want us to report it it just to take on to 2016 i know we're moving forward but number 57 and 58 victim what who was shot at the golden gate we made an arrest warrant on that we ended the year within an arrest warrant and number 58 homicides matthew was stabbed in front of the van ness street and we made an arrest warrant on that. >> okay i'm ready to move on to the arrest and let you know the response so the first question what does the homicide unit do to secure the scene of a crime the personnel are the ones that secure the scene homicide arrives we determine whether to expand or retrack we can move the perimeters homicide investigators are in control of the criminal justice any questions what is the portfolio between the department and the district attorney investigators in terms of connecting at the crime scene or responding they put out on call memo that gets e-mailed to the homicide detail and operation centers from the district attorney's office on they're a they put their notification and the telephone numbers of everyone they want contact with an officer-involved shooting that memo then gets put out weekly for dock and homicide and in the past dock if he were alerted when dock is innovative an officer-involved shooting they pull up the on call sheets and begin with the notification process they manually make calls from 50 to 60 people. >> can i stop you for a quick session dock is a form command it is manned twenty-four hour a day and our center for the police department for passing the information and making notifications to command staff and on call personnel throughout the police department. >> so begins the process ones their notified our operation center is notified with an officer-involved shooting they start with the number one the police chief and to the crime scene and oraccc there are - we moved to a new program and happy to report we're live today to embody for bid an officer-involved shooting now we have move forward at a modern communication a program called ever bridge we did a program run through 3 weeks ago we put out a text mess to the da their immediately notified all at the same time but whether there as officer-involved shooting there innovative via text e-mail and a phone number that is going to happen every two minutes you get a text phone call or e-mail if you don't respond f you have to respond by texting you got the message or e-mail or picking up the phone call this goes out to all 55 recipients we have in the program all that are notified same time now we'll not have an issue the chief of police getting a notification let's say someone at the district attorney's office not notified for 20 minutes i get staggering people coming to the crime scene so everybody gets notified at the same time and we're happy the department the operation is trained as well as tonight once the da gets to the crime scene they go to the crime post this is myself and the captain and the lieutenant of homicide and the investigators we get briefed at the same time and occ has done with the crime we do a walk through with occ i'm sure there are multiple anybody from who else am i missing chief. >> d o i. >> the occ, da i and the district attorney's office themselves there is an actual da with the district attorney investigators they're given a walk through and get a visual and get an idea of what that looks like we wait for the okay. from the crime scene to walk through the crime scene to add on ever bridge now the system that will successfully take care of the recommendations by the civil grand jury and the blue ribbon panel so captain conley is presenting next week and will go into the detail of ever bridge that is successfully taken care of for the recommendations do you have any questions for - about. >> sure. >> yeah in terms of the notifications that goes to everyone one of the comments i think we heard i think from the district attorney that is this phone number we've used for them is somebody's office number or something at a time they're not in the office so is there a number they can - would be the most - >> they have to give on the district attorney's office puts out an think on call sheet every week i'm pretty sure i have an example if so what phone number personal - everyone's puts their you know city phone number or cell phone phone i put my personally he respond to that personally. >> but i have in sight the district attorney has a number and that's the number to pass around and the commissioner mazzucco worked in the office at one point and wherever an assigned da they get if that's the fixed number but ultimately the way the on call works we fissure the numbers the name of the person and the contact number and loaded into the system. >> i'm sorry just wanted to i, clarify so when we put together from the investigators division we contracted the district attorney and occ and ask them to give us the names ever everyone that is is on call d i and their best contact numbers when there are an officer-involved shooting all of them will receive a notification what we are trying to do get away from who is on call this week and that week and make sure they know so the appropriate people on call and supposed to respond if it was to happen visually every investigator will get the nose and the ones on call will be responsible to respond to the scene that way no problems in the future. >> we're excited the system will take care of past issues by my third question from the district attorney investigator is at the homicide officer-involved shooting and while the descent is doesn't make sense or da i many times the body is not present they're at the hospital where they later - all of those succumbed to their injuries does that make sense and in 2016 one succumbed to their injuries and two survived the incident in 20143 succumbed to their injuries at general and one survived who is responsible for camp mather the district attorney the protocol will be blasting out the notifications generally speaking who is the responsible party that decided when a body is removed from the scene and put examples like even though medical examiner the medical examiner is probable for the victim's body is removed after the pictures and videos and sketches and after homicide da i say m.d. will take over the investigation and remove the descent i 0 spoke with the chief medical investigator today they are governed by the government code gymnasium the authority over the descent ant and want to have a public descent ant they go respond for respect and not leaving the descent ant out in public view those are higher priorities any questions - does the - investigations work with the district attorney investigators occ the district attorney's office the medicines office and crime scene and all other participating unit to do we we think that a comprehensive investigation and walk through with the incident crime scene once occ allows it i don't know if any of you have respondent i've worked unfortunately over 15 to 12 officer-involved shooting shooting we all work together but wait patiently to get people together and do one walk through to not /* containment the crime scene what the da needs to be present. >> that's the point is the da i read the question and answer the question. >> da i we try to wait for everybody. >> read the question. >> don't the da need to be present no. >> for a walk through but collaboratively we try to wait for everybody. >> once the criticisms in ferguson with michael brown was on the ground they throughout the medical examiners office then the office charged with the homicide i think that is sometimes, you'll have a personal call to response you try to wait as long as a you possibly came in the person is unremarkable delay you do the walk through without that person present. >> we need to get away from persons and talk about the department one person there should be other people covering that individual not about persons but there should be a plan in place that sponsor should from that particular area should be present i understand you wait as long as possible and then sometimes you have to proceed and maybe none it available for whatever under the circumstances but whidepend on person. >> the district attorney's office needs a back up. >> i'm not concerned about that. >> but as far as the police department we have portfolios protocols in place. >> that's the answer we need. >> we are covered we're covered. >> we are covered sorry. >> sorry captain when i had the - the investigator signed to week they couldn't be more than 11 miles from san francisco there was a mile restrictions and, of course, no alcohol consumption and happened in the middle of the night do we have anything that guarantees officers don't get stuck in traffic or the officers are near the city. >> we have two homicides team that are on call 24/7 all the time and those on call teams are restricken you're on duty not allowed to drink a take-home car that is fixed with lights and sirens the police department has no delay there are a team of 48 people total everyday night on call if one person is tied up let's say there's sick you have 3 on that can cover for that one. >> but we never had an issue with the police department not being there ever. >> or anything like that. >> we appreciate that and that's the information i personally want the public to hear and understand. >> absolutely. >> there's a problem with response time not that we are protocols in place i want to clarify and right the last question that was posed what role emigrates medical examiner play in securing the descendant at the crime scene the me is responsible for progressing for a positive identified and noifsz the next of kin and conducting the autopsy the securing of the body it the responsibility of the sfpd and like i said before the chief medical examiner said as part of their programs and policies prolonged dispose of a decent ant they don't want to have they work with the department to - that concludes the questions unless you have anything else you want me to clarify. >> commissioner marshall two things we are having one case the community was concerned that the body was - had been moved forward i think i heard you say in the occ last year that the medical people took the body to the hospital. >> uh-huh. >> all 3 in 2000. >> required medical attention. >> correct. >> expired at the hospital. >> correct in 2006. >> okay also securing weapons you can if there is a weapon involved offices may secure that weapon but it is documented how officers are very good about documenting the conditions of the body when it was on the ground and if something has to be move forward and documented as a homicide this is how the body was initially found and just. >> rare. >> commissioners this has been brought up in this form with just the generous sews that's why we take photographs we're not always able to wait for long periods of the time and going back to calling a business home during after hours we didn't get the da and they didn't respond how because of the a lack of notification was moved by the medical examiner and that's why we mark and photograph the body so kind of like a homicide investigators transport of something else they can review the files and photos same thing sometimes we are not able to wait for the other person to show up via the district attorney investigation but the whole purpose of documenting things at the scene because sometimes they have to move all kind of reasons inclement weather or safety reasons that particular case the probation officer body was moved by the medical examiner because of the time. >> thank you, thank you chief. >> the other ivy wanted to get back to the homicide cases this year. >> sure. >> 58 things extraordinary i mean over 50 percent sometimes i've been on the commission i've heard it not so good it is good is that higher than in the past? can you say i mean, that's 2016 from your general analysis is that better than. >> at the end of the year this year is 71 percent. >> again, i don't want to - i want to get the end year. >> year because one of the things the public wants to know how long to clear a case respect that year 58 homicides and arrested 31 so that statistic what help if you have any idea that was the past two years. >> i mean, you, obviously you know as well i do that a homicide can say solved in minutes and cold cases can take years depending on the evidence we have in this day and age we're in a digital age with video surveillance which is absolutely paramount in some of the cases this helps the investigators if we have video of the crime it is put out to all of the officers that we have extremely diligent officers that can remember a face from a crime alert and see that face on the street an arrest warrant is made it is unbribl the case level and this is an amazing task force unit that you know how people are connected and related we have an amazing night investigation team pro-active and connect the dots with the criminal and frankly their serial killers that have killed not once or twice but 3 times this year has an extremely hard year for homicide 13 homicide investigators right now they're in injury trials that is extremely depending on their ability to investigate cases they're doing an outstanding job they sacrifice their families and put people away and sometimes the victory at injury trials are not the best. >> you answered - what do you do you said what i'm saying in the eyes of the public they say it takes forever to make an arrest warrant. >> from the evidence. >> notwithstanding 31 out of 58 in a year. >> o'brien alluded to video is our friend and technology we use the e-mails the officers are able to generate pain leslie and suddenly not just a couple of investigators but three hundred eyes on a picture and san francisco small big city somebody stops individuals and talks with them we extend to outside agencies in case north bay so we have a lot of hits we put things out literally and the chief i get it on the phone we put out a flier and two minutes later the person as identified the technology has been a friend of ours and with video cameras everywhere making our job easier commissioner hing. >> sorry i'm going to make you go over the staff again for the third time 31 out of 58 is that what you report because i thought i heard you say you report to the feds. >> we do. >> one percent. >> okay. so unified crime reporting - i gave you the 58 homicides and the 31 arrests because it is expressive this year alone of the 58 homicides we've closed 31 we report to the feds our total arrests for 2016 and it is well above 31 that people so our percentage goes higher. >> sorry the arrests above 31 we can do the math whatever 5 or 7 those extra arrests were from homicides that occurred prior to 2016. >> correct. >> so for example, everybody is very aware of our triple homicide so that arrest was made this year but the homicide occurred in 2015 that counts as a closure of 3 for 2016 but. >> now my problem with math is about to be demonstrated so the number 58. >> uh-huh. >> right? >> that number remains the same when you divide it into the number of arrests they come up with the 71. >> yes, sir. >> that's how you got to the 71 percent. >> yes, sir. >> isn't that misleading in other words the 5 extra arrests over 31 shouldn't the the shootings those 5 extra arrests you said 5 arrests shouldn't that been added to the 58 and in 2013 i don't know what the number. >> i think i know what our saying at some point it catches up your catching with the arrests but it is misleading because dividing 58 into a number that includes homicides from a prior year. >> uh-huh. >> that's why i gave you the actual number 31 so you can clearing see that of the 58 homicides this year 31 of those cases were closed by arrests so that's why i wanted you to clarify crime reporting is goofy in a sense sometimes, we have one and 20 percent. >> yeah. it is goofy you're right you're on us to tell us that is 31 out of 58 really what would be useful to us i don't know but - is that adjustment be made to the prior years in other words prior to 2016 those new arrests in 2016 with the shootings occurred. >> right. >> those prior years should be adjusted. >> they're on paper we have what's called homicide books we go back to the prior years and change the information that is put into those homicide books we've closed this with an arrest warrant but some unform way but reporting. >> because it will deduct the total numbers didn't have much bearing on what we boo do locally but the current murders are solved if we went back and adjusted we'll be here two or three days there's a lot of cold cases that we had in the 90s but for federal purposes they wanted to know that will impact their total number of murders recorded in san francisco if we subtract to solve the total just the federal reporting they know so for for statistic hiv to now have been solved. >> the last time i did a presentation commissioner president loftus wanted me to tell you how many cold cases how many total homicides we've had sing a police department and how many cold cases we still have with a cold case presentation they wanted that broke down by zip code i did what you wanted which was to give you the percentage within that zip code of how our solve ability that was pretty low in some of the areas i had like sometimes 25 percent in some zip codes as opposed to another zip code that had 60 pregnancy i have presented and i can get the materials i'll give them to sergeant killshaw. >> thank you, captain o'brien. >> and the next presentation will be to the 2016 third quarter firearm recommendations status for the shooting investigations. >> good evening, commissioners and director hicks and chief chaplin and members of the community happy new year i'm sergeant i'm

report that he has provided a power point presentation i've recorded to the police commission on in july of last year that i've retained and will evaluate the processing to determine how we can achieve great efficiency in the investigations using available resources at 2016 was the year that the office of citizens complaints practices were reviewed by the bar association of san francisco criminal justice task force and the civil grand jury on officer-involved shootings the blue ribbon panel task force and the community oriented policing services and the department of justice each of these reviews highlights the transparent climate investigation the occs mission pursuant to the charter to investigate the complaints of police misconduct i commissions the report because of the best practices for the professional agencies to give me in the review to object process improvement and to maintain the quality i retained him because of his past experience in auditing the agencies and as an assistant civil rights attorney without more we'll present our summary of the report. >> good evening mr. balthazar. >> good evening commissioner vice president turman, members of the commission and director hicks and chief chaplin and members of the public my name is eric i'm the deputy director for the office of the office of citizens complaints i'll talk about the recommendations in the report the recommendation essential falls in 4 categories the evidentiary standard and weighing of etched and number two the procedures for the planning and interviews and timelines when the interviews are to be conducted and 3 attorney roles and quality insurance and research and technology. >> so other recommendation one a the recommendation states the occ should elaborate on existing preponderance of evidence for the standards the evidence shows that the alleged conduct was more likely to not have occurred to clarify the findings and one c the occ should elaborate on the weighing of evidence and the credibility assessment and attorney john alden did an assessment and the weighing of evidence we do this when we conclude our investigation and figure out how to come up with the conclusion in regards to each allegation number two a the occ should provide clear and detailed guidance with the use of a checklist with the process how to staechlg modify a plan that identifies the activities with the critical deadline two b the existing guidance should be more specific in requiring the investigators to interview all officers involved in the officer-involved shooting case and currently the manual talks about cases where we require interviews the way it is written any investigation involving allegation of use of force or cases likely the result of sustained finding those cases we require mandated interviewing of officers, however, those are not the only once the procedural manual have to be updated for search case and person or other collection cases we're in the process of reviseing the manual excuse me - >> of occ should provide contact with the interviews two d the occ to convey the importance of field report and looking at the videos and 2-e the occ should have clear proper preparation of the requests and under that section two f the occ investigators should be required to foil all investigative materials electronically in a manner that can be readily available to the supervisors. >> under recommendation 3 owl managers to conduct the use of investigative activities and occ personnel to identify the attorneys that maybe recommending too many cases and then look at these recommendations to see the reason for those outcomes 3 c the occ should go see that the investigators are involved with the focus of in person discussion of cases currently we have 4 teams of investigators each team is supervised by a senior investigator last month, a month ago we made a determination that each should be with an occ attorney the attorney will help the investigator assess credibility and help are drafting the questions for officers including additional evidences that maybe required to make sure we have a thorough investigation. >> was your credibility training and assessment under number one was that conducted. >> i'm sorry. >> was that conducted with all the investigators. >> from 2016. >> and moving on to 3-d equal attention to those cases especially those involving the allegations of serious misconduct even if the evidence is sustained and 3 e for the attorneys to be more streamlined 3 f keeping track of deadlines and 3 g for the investigators to discuss tare investigations around well, what went well and didn't go well and under 3 h supervisor and manager responsibility should be defined in the appraisal plans. >> so other recommendations on number 4a talks about assigning a case should be based on involving the same officers and depending on the investigator caseload occ should have an investigator on more collection investigation which we have in oiss required the senior investigator to participate in interviews and also really alcohol supervise the investigation and the streamlining of the in take process this when we get new classrooms and the investigator is required to turn in that within 15 cases of the investigative plan and next update and higher more it staff and lastly under that section combich the occ expected mandate for the enhanced roll in respect ois the occ should look at increasing the staffing. >> of course, the budget it is budget driven do you see any progress for achievement given those. >> in what i'm sorry. >> do you see any prospect for improving p d and e. >> yes. commissioner vice president turman. >> the budget process for budget years of 2017-2018, 2018, 2019 are underway mayor ed lee has the budget instructions that proposed budgets should include no new net staffing so no staffing increase in addition that the each department should offer up budget cuts of one and half percent for each of these two budget years and the target for the occ after backing out the mandated investigators pursuant to the chapter we have a one and $50,000 to three hundred thousand for year two and the occ only has about 3 a hundred and 50 thousand in discretionary money those are challenges and the budget instructions does not account for the occs added responsibility of audit which was inundated pursuant to the most recent election and most recent charter amendment what we're seeing now a second technology that is the tip of the iceberg because as the gentleman recommends everything should be digitized that makes that much easier to supervise and other investigators to learn from one another and with the occ now receiving the videos from the the body worn cameras again another challenge in terms of equipment storage as well so those are recommendations that have been made but some are mandates with regards to the audit and we will be working with the mayors budget staff to determine how best to achieve those goals some of the recommendations are achieveable without additional staffing the occ has realized thirty percent increase in the staff in the last two years but mainly and . >> that's basically any question because back to 4 d and e are there creative ways to solve or at least to improve the technology and it staffing needs with the increase of staffing adds just - a great number of new staff but the minimal increases are we able to solve some of the issues with that staff. >> commissioner vice president turman i'm not sure that i fully understand. >> (laughter). >> some of the technology at it staff. >> we are. >> we are certainly mining the talent of the occ staff ac an example one of our newest senior investigators and i will not name her to embarrass her from media an aptitude for item that is working closely with our it staff we with an office the size of the occ a small office compared to most city departments we work collaboratively and you know as another example in the area of training credibility assessments, etc. john alden received a lot of training at the police department and now an attorney on the occ staff and has been extremely helpful with the investigators monthly holds a training on various tops and his trainings last if 2 to 3 hours but he's on the staff so the training didn't end with the monthly training and we recognize that with this report it shows us not only challenges but
