menkin. i am a relatively new member of the ingleside cpad, and i appreciate the opportunity to speak with you tonight. we really do need a common definition of community policing. i have kind of struggled with that. as a new member, i have been doing some research in trying to figure out what is my role here. there are some training materials. i think there could be more. as we know, it comes from the top. having a vision statement for the police department, for each captain, that really crystallizes what community policing is, at least in san francisco or right now, i think it is a really good thing. i understand that implementation will be and should be station by station, really, and the captains and the chief need some flexibility to implement community policing. but i think the community needs to understand what is and how to define it. there really should not be 100 definition s if there are 100 people in the room. in my view, we need to encourage the real partne ....

legislate what community policing should or should not be. as an interim chief of police, i should have some flexibility as to how to deploy more resources. i think the captain gave a phenomenal power point presentation. i can tell you one thing i do agree with. there is not enough focus. i see officers on foot confecting the public. that is more of an impression and to see them in the police car. unfortunately, that is not the main means of community policing. i think this department as a phenomenal job in that fashion. but i think we could be here until 12:00 and still not have a definition for community policing. i would love to have more foot beats. i can tell you that as the budget nears and we start talking about the budget, as the budget constraints get tighter and tighter and we have less personnel, those foot beats will be affected by that and i do not want that to happen. i have commander david lazar. he can talk to you after the public comment on what happene ....

meeting with the police commission so that both the legislative body and the policy and oversight body of the police department can engage in that discussion. there are many questions i have, but i think it is important to hear from the public. i will be honest with you. having served on the police commission, i remember so many initiatives are around the issue of community policing. you had supervisor mirkarimi talk about chief ribera. in 2006, there was a report on current efforts in community policing. a number of citizens were involved in creating that and had a number of recommendations. i wonder the extent to which those recommendations were followed and the extent to which they are being implemented. at some point, the captain mentioned perf. that also had a number of recommendations around community policing. the ingles said police station ingleside police station was to implement those changes, and i am not clear whether that has been going on. there have bee ....
