Transcripts For SFGTV BOS Replay Budget Finance Committee 12215 20151203

Some of the solutions in the option 3 we have sufficiently balanced the interests were not suggesting that officers should never be able to view the video and not suggesting we distrust them im mindful of some of the documents i did of these olden to me in one of the comments the officers made i troubled me i want to go back some of the reports do indicate drove are harm caused by distrust starting with the policy we distrust your Police Officers one of the pieces from the experts there is a detrimental that blocking the information bound to send offers a message of distrust i want to say tonight this decision around option 3 not to send a motioning message of distrust but identify this is an investigations investigations are fluid and need to have safeguards in place colleagues, any followup before i entertain a commission. Commissioner dejesus. The audit is a critical part in investigation 3 it is new and should have a timeframe for that audit 6 months or 8 months or a year a timeframe that is concrete and an audit done to see the indications or the policy in practice so leaving it fluid is disconcerting i dont know that is something that goes into the policy but an admissible policy 6 months from when it is finalized to bring that back to the commission to look i think well have to have the evaluation to look like whether an Academic Institution one thing i think weve observed there is 5 studies done outside the United States of Body Worn Cameras and the intentions i think there is an opportunity for this department to partner within Academic Institution and do some of the stooufd in San Francisco of the issues schedule that for a conversation but agree to bring that back after the policy is implemented after 6 months any other comments colleagues. So my i will cleaner a motion oh, commission wong. I want rely what commissioner president loftus said the comment of officer john evans made a strong statement in not a about a trust issue i think that at the end of the day this will strengthen the officers lead investigates and given the chief of police this discretion will allow for the discretion and for the publics trust, in fact, had a the officer did at that moment at that time those involved in ois investigations weve seen cases the officer says something that was his prospective and not what actually happens not because the officer is lying a got you or intentionally lying that prospective at that moments precisely because of the tunnel vision is the moment but the substantive belief we need to capture the officer was generously in fear of his or her life i believe that this is going to create a stronger investigation and increase the Public Confidence in our police force so i do want to say to all the officers that testified in no way on any issue here reflect any level of distrust of our police force and colleagues so the language i wanted to suggest i think weve talked about around f one would be to have it read for the above allowed circumstances the member shall not view the Body Worn Camera or reporting subject to the discretion of the chief of police or his or her diego scratching anti from airbnb or the lead criminal investigator on scene and pick up on the listed incidents neither reporting suspect but the chief of police or his or her diego instead of the lady investigator shall have the transparency and true findings to show you.

Authorizing San Francisco department of health to accept the grant for 518 from Gilead Science incorporated. We have bph here to speak. Good morning, my name is kate cline and i am the director of hiv and immigrated services which is a program of the department of Public Health, jail House Services division. I am here to provide information and answer any questions that you might have, i also have with me, mel who is the medical dreker of jail House Services and andy, who runs the hep c clinic at ward 86. We have been awarded 517,000 by Gilead Sciences to treat prisoners in the San Francisco county jail for hepatitis c. The project which we are calling chip, curing hiv and incarcerated patients is a one year, pilot demonstration, project that will be conducted in two urban jails in the San Francisco county jail and in the santa clara. The Pilot Project will be funded by gilead investigator, sponsored research, you it, and it is intended to treat, 100 hep c, positive prisoners in the county jail. The purpose of this project is to assess the feasibility of initiating treatment with county jail prisoners while they are in custody and the jail setting. This is a group of people who are of high risk for hepatitis c and frequently have less access to this very costly treatment. This grant will allow us to start treatment, with hep c positive clients. And in San Francisco, the average length of stay is 24 days. This will allow us to start people and to test people to start them on the hep c and drug and, upon release, we are funded to offer service and we have two navigater whose will move people when they were released from custody to provide support so that people can complete the 8 to 12 week treatment, the drug we are using is havvoni and it is an fda approved drug and 98 percent effective in curing hepatitis c. It is a real life changer. Jail settings offer an opportunity to screen for hcv to initiate treatment, and to link patients to community, hcv treatment to complete the treatment.
