And like i said when we were telling the same story and its a tough time right now. I dont understand why is our back line process so much longer than other cities . Well, i dont know how other cities do it. Part of it was staffing. You know, weve increased the background units. We have parttime employees. But thats something that weve increased and part of it is that and the captain who is in charge of Staff Services is honed in on than. All those things and weve also researchers actually look at our processes. That is helpful too because a lot of the recommendations that its part of the challenge. Something that the commissioner raised that i wanted to clarify. He asked whether the police department, when it comes to lateral transfers whether the background check is done and i wanted to know whether when we do background checks for lateral officers that come to sfpd, do we get both allegations and outcomes of discipline cases because i know that a lot of indications with some of the

So i do not support this motion. I think we have to act with urgency. I think it is high time we have an oversight body for a department that has ever expanding budget. Ironically, it was the mayor who didnt support prop c because she said there wasnt enough oversight over the department.

This will provide us with the breathing room to get everyone to the table and develop a way forward. It accomplishes the objective that we all shared to make our citys work to end hom
