Its several hundred officers above that and i hope that the department and the Mayors Office and board will not stop once we hit that number and i want to put that out there i know we have talked about this many times before but i really want to encourage you to try to accelerate the hiring because its not happening quickly enough. I can assure you its a priority of the Mayors Office, of myself. As i said when we come back for the next presentation hopefully there will be more to give you in the way of concrete numbers. I would say this three classes if i am not speak out of turn on the Mayors Office and i know the want is to hire more classes and the officers you were talking about the beat officers and the school and resources officers and the task forces we put together to tackle the burglaries and other issues and thats what we would do and we have been working with the Controllers Office to figure out the number for 2015 and a fully staff Police Department as well. I would ask whe
Presentation then was very good and how people in the community should also be doing their part, and i know youre working closely with the da office in terms of their computerized systems to make things happen a little quicker so thank you very much. I appreciate the support. Okay colleagues if there are no other comments chief thank you for being here and presenting. I am without a doubt lend my voice to supporting as many Academy Classes we can put in. I believe Public Safety and the shortage of Police Officers is one of the big issues facing the city so look forward to talking more during the budget process. If i could i need to give a shout out and this presentation was done by Maureen Gannon and ms. Welch and christine and shes terrific and Ben Rosenfeld and kate howard with the things were trying to get done with the Police Department right now. Thanks chief. Okay. Up next related joyce hicks real quick who is head of occ to come speak on her doesnt which i know department which
Approach to either expose them or when they reach a certain age to recruit them into the program. Yes. Great minds think alike. We actually help them fill out the application. Thats exactly what we do. Okay. We have a handful of cadets that were pla and unpaid and theyre all city kids and volunteered their time and when they came of age we put them into the paid program and theyre terrific. I want to say thanks for the report and like supervisor wiener i would be supportive of having accelerated rate of academies, so we could actually get our Police Officers to at least the old 1971 figure quicker than 1918 so i also want to thank you we asked a few questions about safety and we had a hearing not too long ago, a fews ago, specifically talking about property theft and how are you going to be addressing it, and i thought what you the presentation then was very good and how people in the community should also be doing their part, and i know youre working closely with the da office in term
Last year prop 47 reclassified grand theft from a different level and it became a miscellaneous and felony crime will be down but misdemeanor crime will go down. Because when the officers come back because you can never arrest your way out of anything and just the presence of officers on commercial corridors will be a deterrent to crime and we will get it figured out about there has been legislative change with the classification of crime and not again trying to arrest or incarcerate away out of crime which explains the record low jail population at county jail and juvenile hall.
