I want to make a statement that we San Franciscoians board of commission in total to have the freedom to express themselves and to take a position on anything. I say this because nobody has chosen as a commission to do some other job. Everybody is chosen as a commission to represent quality of life issues and serve our constituents. And recently, when it begins to light that behind the scenes, some people want to manipulate that is simply wrong. They need some psychological inspection. That is why on this commission, the ordinance says let us have a judge, we dont have a judge. Why . Because a judge has a lot of experience. Thats all i have to say. I have a blog i can express myself in detail on my blog. Im pleading with you commissioners, treasure our freedom as i treasure my freedom. Thank you, caller. Caller you have two minutes.

Why is it . Did they leave 2016 and prior years off the report because they want you to forget that it was in those years that there were so many troubling shootings of unarmed people that they are the National Spotlight to do its Community Services review. We demand the report of an officer shooting cases, no matter how long ago it happened. There is no statue of limitations. And use in the report, they are people not case numbers.

During the september 7 police Commission Meeting there was a discussion about 4th amendment training photoeder purpose of reducing bias and policing which is one of the oriented policing sefshsz or doj cops recommendation. Chief cop and mcguire mentioned. Commissioners walker and benedicto mentioned shadowing training. Was this for the amendment training they attended . Why isnt the commission asking about the impact. Isnt this a crucial topic in terms of reducing Racial Disparities which have remained at the same high level since 2016. The commission seems to have expressed frustration about on going disparity but not identify or pursue any solutions. Thank you. Thank you, caller. Good evening, caller, you have two minutes. Caller my name is paul allen, ai speak [no audio] caller are you still there . Caller yes. We cant hear you. Caller can you hear me now . Faint, its a faint voice. Caller ill try to do better. Im paul allen, a 30year resident with the city. I speak in enforcement order 101 and this supplement my written submission of september ~ caller are you still there . And president elias, that concludes the Public Comment. I think the last caller had some technical issues. Thank you, next item. Sorry i was muted. Line 2, adoption of meeting for september 7, of 2022. This is an action item. Great, can i get a motion to adopt. Move to adopt. Before, before we adopt the mibz on this, the election of officers, i think that was a september 14th. Indicated that there was no second in the motion to nominate mr. Yee. And i recall making a second. I would like the minutes after. I move that the minutes of september 14th so that the minutes are reflected, the minutes say that there was [indiscernible] from what i recall, and we need to look back at the tape. I think she made the motion and there was already a pending motion on the floor. So, thats my recreation too. Until the next motion is adopted, i dont think you can make the motion. I mean, unless youre going to take all the motion. My recreation is there is a motion made by commissioner benedicto and commissioner walker made a motion after that and only roberts rules, once a motion is made there could not be a subsequent motion. We may need to have go after. Maybe we should table the item if there is lack of clarity about what happened and we can review the tape. Yeah, i think what we can do is take up the september 7th and 21 and table the 14th. Move as amended. Well go ahead, and start a vote on september 7th and 21 minutes and were going to table this 14th. Commissioner walker how do you vote. Yes. Commissioner benedicto. Yes. Commissioner benedicto yes, commissioner yanez. Yes. Vice president oberstone. Yes. Commissioner byrne. Yes. Commissioner byrne yes. Commissioner yee. Yes. And president elias . Yes. You have a unanimous vote, president elias. Do we need to take Public Comment online item 2, if would you like to make Public Comment please enter the queue now. There is no Public Comment. Next item. Line number 3, strategies for recruitment of women. Discussion. Thank you, im going to turn this to Vice President carter oberstone. Thank you, as some folks may recall, i said, i wanted this commission to increase gender diversity. And ever since then, i knew that at all cost, we need today get one person to present on this issue because of the amazing work that she is doing in this area. And that person is lori who is joining us tonight. Professional back grounds and just a couple of her credentials. Maureen is the founder of 30 for 30 initiative which is a grass roots improvement to improve representation and women in policing, launched in 2021, they have masked over 2000 partners including some big ones. As well as state agencies and local agencies and University Departments and federal Law Enforcement axes. She is also chief of policing project at Nyu Law School where she oversees standards for Police Departments. She joined the policing project from the National Police foundation where she lead her training and Technical Assistance effort as director of national programs. Prior to that, maureen spent a decade with the federal government at the u. S. Department of justice and department of state. She served as Senior Policy Adviser to the director of institute of justice which is Evaluation Agency where she lead efforts to policing and implemented criminal justice reforms. Some of her other experience is serving as counsel to the Deputy Attorney general. Being a assistant u. S. Attorney for the district of columbia and efforts through embassy. Maureen is a member of fbi Law Enforcement education and training counsel and executive board member of policing and resent public leadership executive fellow with the brookings institution. Finally just on a personal note, i had the opportunity to work with maureen at the policing project. I would say that she is one of the most dynamic leaders i have met. I remember when she first launched 30 to 30 and its just amazing what a resounding success its become. So mo, thank you for joining us. I know its late in the east coast so i will turn it over to you. Thank you so much for that kind and long introduction if i knew you were going to say read the whole thing i would have submit something shorter. I do have a presentation. Should i share my screen. First of all, thank you, thank you to Vice President for having you share your wealth of knowledge. Thank you so much. I just wanted to extend my gratitude. I know policing and many many issues that you could be discussing at this moment. And im grateful that gender equity is something that youre giving your department attention to we think it critically important. All right, next slide. So just a little bit about why this work is so important. So current estimates from your justices, statistics shows that women make up about 12 of sworn officers in this country and only 3 of police leaders. We have some reason to believe that in the leadership, we have numbers be lower than 3 . And of course thats concerning from a gender clarity perspective but its especially concerning because we believe that under representing of women in policing is contributing to the crisis that were experiencing in this country. Next slide, we have per seed this work because of the case of research that youre seeing on the screen. I know this violates of a power point but we cant help that to support the research why this is so important. So Research Shows that Women Officers often and they use less excessive force. This one is the limit most supported and supporting it there is even some research that indicates women have a classifying affect when a man is less likely to use force when a woman shows up. Fewer non discretionary arrest. And we suggest that they find a non punitive ways to resolve. There is associated with Better Outcomes, especially victims of, Sexual Assault, they conduct fewer searches during traffic stops. But when they do search, they are more likely to find contraband. Theyre perceived as being more honest and compassionate. I would say that is perception, right, we dont have to have access to proceed them to be and that in and of it is important. This one is an area that is most seen interested in learning to less office and there is some research because of that, they result to up 05. 5 times less. And they fired a Service Weapon in the line of duty. And some of these samples are small but a lot are in the process of being replicated and they do tend to trend in a particular direction. And if there was a training out there that offers these kinds of benefits, everybody would implement that training. But instead were thinking definitely about who we hire in the production. Next slide. So 3530 was coalition of mostly women that this is part of the safety crisis and we need to do something about it. So youll hear in a second about what our goals r our slogan is 30 by 30 but its not just improving the representing and policing its also about improving the experience approximates of women across all ranks in the profession. We really focus on achievable actions that were no lower or no cost. We were built where youll hear a little bit on in a second. But its still acknowledge that this is an extraordinary time in policing for a lot of reasons. And the last thing that you want to do is create goals that are simply unattainable. And it divides strategy to move the field forward with regards to representation and recruit classes and agency culture. In terms of who is at the table, lets hear about this. Were focused on north american agencies. I think we have 6 agencies, everybody else is in the u. S. , were learning about what works and what strategies have been affected in Law Enforcement agencies across the globe. Next slide please. You may wonder why 30 by 30. I got a little bit of slack that say that they dont think women could do the job. And ive gotten a lot of dubious looks from people from the profession that they think. Weve only been running up for years and they are reaching that 30 . So i think we have all the reason in the world to be optimistic. But its really important. So the theory represented suggests that until a Group Reaches 30 , they cannot impact that organization and have any impact of agencier al culture. Where that manifest, particularly, if you have discussions around gender and Police Department, one of the things they hear is well thats all good. And thats an element of function of mind set because there is not yet 30 in that agency. So thats something that were working on. Next slide. Here is how were going to do it and how were actively doing it across the country right now. So that 30 thats really important. But the last thing we want to do is get a bunch of women in the door in an organization that is not set up to support their success. And here i want to make one note because i think there is a misconception about what were saying here. Were not implying that theyre trying to keep women out of it. But what were acknowledging is that policing was a profession that was built by and for men and thats a profession that is going to change. It should bethat the status quo may have some biases against anybody who is is not a man and may not be set up to support unique ways of women. And also understand how the current practices and strategies assessment may be inherent against them and they may meet their needs and something about it. Next slide. I think its really important to understand where we came from, for you to understand where were going next. Most of this work has come out of the advocacy who was the chief of the Newark Police department. Doj we were looking for Police Reforms and work together. And she brought the statistics to the doj. Those numbers have been set for decades. She brought the research about the value of Women Officers and found the doj to do something about it. So in 2016, they found forces where we tried to explore what were the drivers and what can be done about it . That was the foundation for 30 by 30. In 2019, we formed a committee where Women Leaders from a lot of departments across country, weve got midofficer, and advocates to really understand what could be done to advance the profession and improve gender equity. In 2021, we watched the pledge. And i want to tell you about why we watched the pledge that we did. We started trying to fundraise to do this work and provide technical in 2019. At the time, there was a real ince duity that they would have priority gender parity. That people would not raise their hand and do the work. There was an ununderable shift alternative policing. So we realize, we had to just go ahead and launch without any funding to demonstrate we were ready to do this. So we pulled together all of our researchers and practitioners leaders, we came up with an evidence pledge that included several dozen items that Police Departments can make a difference. It felt a little bit like we were throwing a party and we didnt know who was goi
