Additional training, updates on body worn camp race, Impartial Policing and blue courage, and update from the Crisis Intervention Team and youth recruitment and the occ recommendations in response to commissioners dejesus request a couple months ago.

Outline blue courage which is a philosophy talked throughout the nation. We are heavily involved in it by teaching our members and external agency about what blue courage is. Community policing is a model taken from new york back in the 90s as is developed to what is today and we have a work in progress and we continue to improve on that program. There is a two page writeup about the San Francisco Police Department and the Mayors Office talking about the ipo program which is the interrupt, predict and organize Crime Reduction strategy. That is an awardwinning strategy. If you look at the fourth manual on youth crime, it outlines that our Crime Reduction paid off. We had a 36 drop in homicides from 20122014.

This is a snap shot that we created. This incorporates all reports issued. [inaudible]. Excuse me captain. Dependence reading admonishment about interruption of the meeting this time. Please there are to be no interruptions. If you have a comment, please do that during Public Comment. The next time there is an outburst, i will have the secretary read those rules.

We have a 15 page working document. We are waiting for the doj report to see where all of these recommendations fall under the umbrella of the department of justice. White house Police Data Initiative was another program that generated out of the 21Century Policing president obamas report. Essentially San Francisco Police Department is one of 53 agencies of 15,000 Law Enforcement agencies involved in the data initiative. We are in frequent phone calls with the white house. In order to be involved in this program, we have to provide three data sets. Thats the minimum criteria. So we provide traffic stop data, Department Demographics and officer involved shootings. This is the Department Website and it is accessible. Its a challenge to get it, but its listed there. Sir, please take your seat. Sir please take your seat immediately. Im sorry, captain.

Thank you, commissioner, the next few slides. The next the department of justice has reviewed through their website transgender training video. We are planning to take that video into roll call training for personnel to improve our awareness of transgender public. We developed a draft transgender policy. I find this behavior disruptive. Sheriffs officer please remove the individual from these proceedings. Captain, please continue. Thank you, commissioner. Im almost done. Essentially we were able to bring the subject matter in a 48hour period including humanity rights commissioner teresa sparks who provided valuable information to us and we have a Draft Department general order to making its way through concurrence process and some point in the near future it will be presented to the commission for adoption.

They are not the type shields well be employing. Its just a visual aid. We are looking at different types of equipment. Some of the best practices and similar policies in exploring at different agencies including the international community. The Crisis Intervention Team has moved to the Office Bureau because its primarily a patrol based function. It is a better place, a better resting home for that unit and the direct involvement with field operations. Discussions continue with the Mental Health working group and the policy Development Phase and the department general order is still in the Development Phase at this point and it will be coming to you at some point in the future. Recruitment efforts. Again, in response to commissioner dejesus questions about our recruitment efforts. We follow the california peace officer standard guidelines, 21 years of age with a high school education. This is done primarily not to exclude personnel or people who might otherwise be ineligible. If we request a component from the onset, that might exclude potentially communities of color who might not have that requisite. We follow that standard and we have quite successful rate of bringing people in. In 2015 alone, there was 227 recruitment engagements and the events are obviously listed there from Community Events to job fair to say and what not. Community college, state college, private schools. We are aggressively seeking out candidates. And from july, beginning of july to end of august, we had 419 candidates signed up expressing interest. Thats quite a few candidates. Realize we are targeting the same group of people that all agencies are targeted. Our challenge is ahead of us. Again, boot camp and Testing Process. We are preparing candidates for the Testing Process and entry process. There is one new component mobile advertisement. A collaboration where someone receives information on their smartphone within the bay area, it will popup with the San Francisco Police Recruitment notification. Its a popup. Okay, now we are coming to the end. Occ identified 19 recommendations in response to president s 21st Century Police report. The Police Department responded to 18 recommendations. These 19 recommendations although i dont have a slide for them are integrated into the matrix i showed you earlier. There is every intention to continue collaboration not only with occ but other authors to ensure they are covered under the department of Justice Collaborative review. Again, additional policies, these are all living policies at this point. They are all integrated and we continue to have discussions. That is the presentation. Thank you, captain conley.

To kind of give a run up since this is the first time we reported on it and the 20152016 civil grand jury chose a project, a study of the crime lab. In the First Quarter of 2016, they undertook a study visiting the lab which was at the naval shipyard, d. A. s, public defenders and people from the industry at large.
