Custody, that man jose zarate. This happened two years ago on pier 14 in San Francisco in the embarcadero. Thats when kate steinle was shot and killed. Jose zarate admitted he was handling the gun used in the shooting, but his attorneys are arguing in this case saying the gun went off. The court argued zarate intended to kill steinle. Now the gun used in the shooting had been reported stolen the week before steinle was killed. The District Attorney says both sides will be calling firearm experts to the stand during the course of this trial to help make their case. The former head of the San Francisco crime lab who is very familiar. Hell say absolutely these guns have a history of accidental discharges particularly if they are handled by someone who isnt properly trained. There will be a baseline question. Whether the defendant intended to pull the trigger. Reporter now Kate Steinles family has been in the courtroom all week. Her father gave very emotional testimony on the first day of the trial recounting the moment he realized his daughter had been shot. Yesterday in court two witnesses testified through their hotel window they saw zarate leave the pier after a single gunshot rang out. Another witness said before the shooting zarate was sitting at the pier people watching and laughing. A tourist at the time found his behavior very odd and uncomfortable. Now Garcia Zarate faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted of that fifthdegree murder charge. I asked if he plans to call zarate to the stand during the course of this trial to testify on his behalf. He said he hasnt ruled that possibility out yet, that he will, make that decision when its the defenses turn to make their case. Back to you. Allie rasmus live in San Francisco today. Allie, thank you. The fbi just released sketches of two people believed to be involved in a mysterious disappearance last november. These are the schedules here. She was found along interstate 5.

She was battered and bruise, but told police she was not sexually assaulted. She was nowhere to be seen. That has set off a weeks long search for her. A 10,000 reward is being offered for the identification leading to the arrest of the women. Police received a report of a rape yesterday. The female victim told officers it actually happened on the east side of campus early sunday morning. Police said the victim knew the man who attacked her, but neither the victim nor the suspect are stanford students. However because the incident occurred on campus, the university sent out a warning about the assault to students as soon as it was reported. So far no arrests have been made. Now to the latest on the north bay wildfires. Today theres even more aid for some fire victims. Under a federal program, people who live or work in the devastated areas can apply for money for food. Its a part of the cal fresh benefit, which is a food program through the u. S. Department of agriculture. The amount of money each family is eligible is based on family income.

Thats right we talked to a homeowner about how the process is doing. As you take a look here, residents in santa rosa are eagerest get the cleanup process underway. Meanwhile crews have begun the task of removing toxic materials after the fire. Epa is doing surveys today, so they are going through some neighborhoods and they are going to start looking for hazardous materials. Materials such as a propane tank or paint containers, pesticide, all of that. Reporter on saturday the governor signed an executive order allowing the Environmental Protection agency to begin removing toxic waste, which poses an immediate threat to the public following the wildfires. Its a critical First Step Towards cleaning up and rebuilding the 6,700 homes that burned in the north bay fires. Meanwhile homeowners who have lost everything are showing up here today hoping once the clean up is completed they can fast track the nontoxic debris cleanup for things like concrete and ash left over after the fire. Im not seeing any hitches right now. Im hoping everybody gets on board and the federal government, the state government, the local agencies have the opportunity to start their work, get the sites cleared. Reporter you can see some of the paperwork needed to get the process going. All of this to get the army corp. Of engineers clearing some of the nontoxic debris from the homes here that have been devastated by these fires. If residents dont have that information, they can still come here and they will help people through that process. Now one final note, officials here describe this as a process working in lock step.

This afternoon a legal battle continues over a pair of neighboring homeless encampments in berkeley set up on bart property. A judge hads allowed one of those camps to hear their camp on this map to remain. This morning the second camp was removed. Ktvus alex savidge live near mlk and 63rd street. Reporter good afternoon there. This area on the east side of the bart tracks right near the berkeleyoakland border is all fenced off this afternoon. No camping signs are posted here, no trespassing signs have been put up. According to city officials, this encampment drew a number of complaints from neighbors, thats why it was cleared out this morning. I talked a short time ago to one man who lived here for several months. I got up at 4 30 this morning and they told us to back up our stuff. It was like a mad rush. Reporter city workers arrived here around 5 00 this morning to begin the process of removing the tents and other properties from this site. A handful of people maybe about 15 or so called this camp home and all of them were asked to leave by authorities. Over the weekend bart issued a 72hour eviction notice for this camp, which sits right along the bart tracks near Martin Luther king and 63rd street. People living nearby had started to complain to the city about this encampment. There were several fires here and someone was recently attacked with a hammer at this site. The city of berkeley and bart began to receive complaints from residents in the area, particularly a nearby elementary school. And so with the past six weeks or so we developed a plan to try to make sure we protected the property. To do so in a manner that was humane and compassionate towards the people who obviously are caught up in the homeless crisis. Reporter and just on the other side of the bart tracks, theres a separate homeless encampment right next to the well known here and there signs on abilon street. After being issued an eviction notice as well over the past weekend, the campers appealed to a judge this week, and that judge issued a temporary restraining order. Attorneys for both sides are due back in court for a hearing on that particular case to decide the fate of that encampment. Alex, do you know if there have been any discussions on where these Homeless People are going to go, have there been any resources to relocate them somewhere else into more temporary housing . Reporter the gentleman i spoke to a few minutes ago who lived here for several months, he told me when they came over the weekend to issue that eviction notice that they were presented with some options in terms of services and temporary housing and shelters that he could go to. So he is potentially pursuing some of those options. He also told me as a matter of fact one of his choices in terms of where he might stay, he might simply go to the encampment on the other side of the bart tracks for the time being since it appears the city may support that encampment remaining in place. All right, alex savidge live in berkeley for us, thank you. San francisco has a new parks plan and it calls for using the space under the citys freeways. Just about an hour ago mayor ed lee and other city leaders announced a new law signed by Governor Brown to create open spaces under and adjacent to 80, 101, and 280. The law allows caltrans to enter into reduced rate leases with San Francisco for up to ten empty parcels it owns.

What its saying about American Airlines and whether it is safe for black people to fly with that airline. And the warm weather continues here in the bay area after a day of record breaking heat. A live look out there in San Francisco bay. Well check in with our meteorologist mark tamayo for the details. This is the new comfort food.

California grown with no antibiotics ever. Its those familiar scents that bring the spirit and joy of the holidays to life. This season, bring that same spirit and joy into your home with air wick seasonal scents. The ceo of American Airlines is eager to meet with representatives of the naacp after the organization issued a travel warning for African American travelers. The Group SuggestsCorporate Culture of racial insensitivity and possible racial bias. In one case an africanamerican passenger said she and her baby were removed from the flight when she asked to have her stroller before she got off the plane. An africanamerican woman had her seat assignment changed from first class to coach while her white traveling companion was allowed to stay in the first class cabin. Starting tomorrow four airlines will begin new security interviews of all passengers on u. S. Bound flights. Egyptair, pacific, and emirates all said they will comply with the request made by american officials. The u. S. Department of Homeland Security is not commenting on the program at this moment. The ask for addition the request for additional screening comes after they need to meet new u. S. Security regulations on flights. The white house says it will not support the proposed massive Water Project according to the u. S. Interior department. The government chose to not move forward and will not fund this project. Governor brown wants the Water District to pay 16 billion to build the tunnels. The Obama Administration backed the project, but the plan ran into problems last month when two key Water Districts opted to not pay for it. Well turn things over to our meteorologist mark tamayo with a look at our weather. Our temperatures cooled off a little bit, but still another warm to hot forecast out there. In fact a few spots close to 90 degrees. Thatll be the headline once again for your wednesday afternoon. 70s, 80s, all the way to 89 and 90 about 3 00 to 4 00 this afternoon. The main storm track is up to the north of the bay area right now. You can see we still have those northerly winds. Those winds are coming out of the north and that warms up the bay area, which has been the case since monday. Temperatures peaking throughout the week. Pretty warm and hot out there. Take a look at the numbers down towards southern california. Right now its 97 degrees in los angeles. 96 in san diego, palm springs, the mid90s. It is just amazing with those temperatures down to our south. We are warming up as well, but in a more comfortable range. Walnut creek 78. San jose at last check is reporting 80 degrees. So you know the headlines for this week, its warm to hot, but we will gradually cool things off just a little bit later on in the week and tomorrow and into friday. But with this area of high pressure, its been the key player here with sinking air, thats warming air, that compressional heating that has been happening all week long. The temperatures for today and tomorrow, thinking tomorrow will be just a touch, well actually yesterday and today and then thursday, itll cool things off just a little bit. But take a look at your numbers this afternoon. All the 80s out there. With the dry conditions and the warm temperatures, the fire dangers out there. Watch out for that. Still waiting for the real soaking rains. Of course we had rainfall last week, but not enough to wipe the fire danger off the table. San jose well go up to 8 89. In San Francisco a great day to walk around the embarcadero. Be extra careful, the beaches will be gray. High surf is still a factor. In fact swells could build in this weekend once again. Temperatures, lots of 80s. Probably the day youll notice the biggest change as we step outside, thatll be on sunday for the second half of the weekend. So it has been hot, but it looks like summer will be in relief. All right, thank you, mark. In just about ten minutes, we will air a 30minute special called on the record Bay Area Police chiefs. I recently sat down with the chiefs of oakland, san jose, and San Francisco for a candid round table conversation about the big issues affecting their communities. One of the topics, california becoming a sanctuary state. California is a sanctuary state now effective january 1 of next year. Will you direct your officers to cooperate with federal i. C. E. Agents . Absolutely not. Im very familiar with the senators bill. Read through it many times. I think they are very careful towards the end to try to balance it out. They switched it up a little bit. I think they listened to the voices and were careful about balancing protecting the rights of our hard working immigrants, but at the same time protecting the rights of residents of this community. Will we violate or disregard federal law . No, i think we have to abide by federal law and we will. But also our cities, policies, and values are really clear in terms of protecting the rights of people that are in our city. Its unfortunate because the fear is real. That impacts Public Safety when people are afraid to call 911 or work with us and be in partnership with us because they are afraid of us. We also talk about use of force, recruiting, stolen service weapons, why they even want to be a chief of police.

Recently i had the opportunity to sit down with the Police Chiefs of the bay areas three largest cities, san jose, oakland, and San Francisco. Over the next 30 minutes well dive into a one of a kind conversation where they talk about the top issues affecting the entire bay area from use of force to recruiting. Sanctuary states, mass shootings, and much more. But first we begin with the recent fires of the north bay and how as leaders of their departments, they can learn from the disasters to make their cities safer. As we sit here, we have heavy hearts. We think a lot of the victims and the fires burning in the north bay. Do you look at stories like this, not only think about the loss, of course, but also what you as an individual and a leader can learn . In looking forward, what is this department lacking in order to be able to handle that situation in the future . Because you know if we dont learn from things that happen elsewhere, then we are going to be cutting ourselves short. Watching it closely, chief kirkpatrick . I am like so many others. We have a few of our own employees impacted. But you hit the right tone when you said heavy hearts. I think people do look for their leaders to care about them first. People want to know they are cared about. And it is grieving, the time of grieving, time of confusion. Thats when people do look for leaders to care about them and show them a way forward. Also preparedness. I mean i dont think we could ever be prepared enough for these types of events. Oftentimes when these catastrophic advances of this magnitude happen, you have to rely on other agencies to really Work Together with you to do your job well. And that is really, really important. A week before the fires we have the worst mass shooting in our country. I know you had a shooting back in june. But is it your biggest fears as a chief of mass shooting . If not what would it be . In todays world, i think you just have to be prepared for everything. We have mass shootings, we have whats going on in europe with vehicles ramming pedestrians, that type of thing, so you really have to be prepared. One story out of las vegas that struck me was how a couple of Las Vegas Police officers came in contact with a couple of deputies from the county and that was the responding s. W. A. T. Team, that they moved in before talking to whoever they have to talk to, when should we go and do and they just reacted. Are your officers trained to do that . That is how were trained to do it. I remember years ago after columbine had occurred at the time. We spent eight to 12 hours in a room trying to figure out tactics if that were to happen. But the interesting thing about it, were trying to inform our patrol. Its our men and women who are working patrol. Do all your officers have body cameras . Do you believe in them . Do you think it makes your officers better . Not only on, but literally as well . Oakland was one of the first cities in the country who embraced the bodyworn camera early on. Our officers today, it is just a part of their work and they dont think twice about it. It serves to protect everybody. I believe in them. I do think it helps with us being able to tell the story, whatever way that goes. We talk a lot about protecting the officers, making them better. Making the indictment and something wrong before, so it does just paint the picture and tell the story. What is the rule . Do you all have different rules when it comes to releasing footage . Yes. What is your rule . Theres only three issues we look at. Number one the release of Body Worn Camera footage, endangering anybodys life. And if the answer is yes, we wont release it. Is it going to jeopardize the investigation, thats number two. The third thing is are there any legal or privacy issues that prevent the release of bodyworn cameras. I agree with both chiefs here, you have to look at each situation case by case. You have to understand from the Vantage Point of others, just put it out this and well have everything answered, right . What do you say to thoseindividuals, kirkpatrick . We dont think what they are asking for. I think the guiding principle is transparency. We dont want a child victim who may be captured on a Body Worn Camera. We dont want someones loved one who has passed away to be captured on video and then put it out there for everybody to see. To go back to you chief scott, you had to revamp your training with the dojs recommendations, 272. Can you say what percentage of those recommendations right now are actually complete . About 30 complete in terms of the recommendations that have been completed. We have another 20 that are in the review process internally. So they go through several stages of review before they get to me and ultimately to the police commission. Seems like a lot of eyes are on Police Officers in this country, you know, with the cell phone, with the officer involved shootings of unarmed black individuals. Do you think chief garcia, since the black lives Matter Movement kind of started to swell, has it changed the way you train your officers or how your officers respond in city streets . Is there a difference between now . And the other department, we have been taking on the 21st century initiatives, you know, along long before this movement began. The other thing the departments are doing and what we felt we could be doing better. And so we wanted to be proactive about that. We work in a time of noncrisis because we are in crisis in our city. So we wanted to keep putting into that Emotional Bank account with our community as a whole. And you know, arriving on ships. So we wave the level of additional training, with the cameras, with policies. And we felt and we feel the use of force issue is a very important issue and our department will continue to look at that. Were a city of protest, and were many voices raised. Its important to hear them all and to be mindful that indeed we really are public servants. We need to hear these voices. A lot of those protests do cause damage. I mean ive been in there in the middle of them before down the broadway streets. Let me be clear though and im glad you said that. I like the fact oakland is the city of protest. But theres a big difference between protest and destruction. So anyones voice of voice of opposition is welcome. You may not destroy our city or property and you may not hurt other people physically. Is this a big problem . Getting officers, weapons, whether it is their patrol vehicles, personal vehicles. And we have policies and how officers clear it. Is there a bigger scope of things . Its a problem, but theres a Bigger Picture, and i think the Bigger Picture happens. Our officers are to abide by our policies. We do have a policy in terms of firearms. If they dont abide by that are they dismissed from the force . They are subject to this hearing and you have to look at the case and its totality, but they are subject to disciplinary if it is proven they violated policy. And in these cases, any case, i mean i cant give a blank statement and say thatll be a dismissal case. Why not . I mean if you had your weapon stolen, its in your personal vehicle. It wasnt locked and away. Theres a lot of factors that go into that. Lets say you did everything youre suppose to do and your weapon still gets stolen, should that person be fired only because they got victimized . Theres a lot of things that have to be considered. Before the new law went into effect about weapons need to be stored, weve always disciplinedofficers that did not retain their weapons in a way that causes it to get lost. Is it a fireable defense . Every offense is subject up to termination. Do you know how many weapons youve had lost in the last five, six, seven years. Do you keep track . We do keep track and i have that throughout my head, but we do keep track. We keep track of it as well. Its a serious offense if anyone has their weapon stolen. And it is governed by policy, all of these things are subject to severe discipline up to and including termination. I think our our his hesitancy is that they do have a choice. Welcome back to on the record, Bay Area Police chiefs. The top cops in the bay areas three biggest cities sat down with a frank conversation about the issues facing their communities. At the heart of all their jobs, relationships with those communities and the people they serve. Why do you want to be a police chief . I mean were sitting here talking about all these issues and were not even done, i have more to talk about. But yeah. I mean ill start with you. Even though you were born in porterkelly you came in to the state at a young age and really you were raised in san jose. Did you always want to be a police chief . I wanted to be a Police Officer of san jose. So you never wanted to be a leader of the department, you wanted to be a Police Officer . We all started off that way. Our careers take us in a certain way at one point. Like for me, you know, i worked i was never someone to work in administrative roles. I always had a niche in the Police Department with regards to the proactive units i was in. And it really didnt start crossing my mind until much later on, you know, i want to make the daily working conditions of the hard working Police Officer that wants to go out and do good for this community, that wants to build a strong and positive community, and also wants to keep the wolf away from the door and keep their community safe. What does that officer need to succeed . Youre also the chief of the city you grew up in, does that mean a lot to you . Yes, it means a lot to me. Ive said this many times. Im sure itll come back. I am probably the most unique in that this is my eighth Police Department, my eighth patch, my fourth as a police chief. I wanted oakland, oakland is where i really wanted to be. I think leadership is not about rank, rank is a position, a position of authority, but thats not a leadership. Leadership is where your view is legitimate and you have influence, and you can change and make an impact. You grew up in alabama, crimson tide. Correct. Pretty Good Football Team i heard. [ laughter ] then you put so many years, i mean nearly three decades into lapd. Then this job pops up. Why not stay in the place youve been so committed to for so long and your dream of being a chief there . L. A. Was a great department. My experience there was i wouldnt trade it for the world. I never had a bad job there. It really had to be because were at a time now in our profession where we can really make a difference. California is a sanctuary state now effective january 1 of next year. Will you direct your officers to cooperate with federal i. C. E. Agents . Absolutely not. Im very familiar with the senators bill. I read through all the amendments that it had. I think they are very careful towards the end to balance it out. Switched it up a little bit. I think they listened to the voices and were very careful in balancing, protecting the rights of our hard working immigrants and at the same time protecting the rights of residents of this community from that criminal element. Will we violate or disregard federal law . No, i think we have to abide by federal law, then we will. But also our citys policies and values are really clear in terms of protecting the rights of people that are in our city and in terms of having them feel free and confident to access city government, all branches of government, what they can do that without worrying about their immigration status. But you have to understand it just looks like no one is on the same page. Whether its federal, local, but it just seems based on your end and your sheriffs answer and that could be frustrating. For people sitting at home. For being an undocumented immigrant, it is not criminal. Its civil war and we have no authority over said law. We in the city of oakland take very seriously our sanctuary status and it is unfortunate because the fear is real. That impacts Public Safety when people are afraid to call 911 or work with us and be in partnership with us because theyre afraid of us. Show of hands, who lives in the city you lead . So what percentage would you say your sworn officers actually live in your cities . Come on chief. As we start growing, there is an issue with officers driving to the city. Would your department be better if your officers lived in the cities they patrol . You know what, i cant say it would be better or not. Why not . Theres a lot of passion for where you live and protect your community. You do. But i know and i have worked with men and women who dont live in the city of san jose who would risk their lives just the same for any other officers who live in the city. They risk their lives every day just like i do. Does it affect you when youre trying to recruit . We offer an incentive through our pipeline programs, the cadet who lives in the city of oakland. We will help pay, well pay them to be a cadet as an incentive. But it is, you know what, its an issue where people think you live in your city youll be more devoted to your city. But i agree with officer garcia. We only have 10 of our officers who live in our city. The finances, the cost of living in oakland is outrageous. And so i understand why people dont live in the city. However a lot of them grew up in oakland. They may not live in the city center or the boundaries today, but they grew up in oakland. Is it a problem for you . About 25 of our officers live in the city. Like oakland and chief kirkpatrick, there are a whole lot more of our officers who grew up in the city and they grew up here in the city. Look, i didnt grow up in San Francisco, im just devoted to the city as anybody. I didnt grow up here, i didnt grow up in los angeles. 27 years in los angeles, i think i was as devoted. It really depends on your mind set as a Police Officer. If youre going to serve any city, you need to be all in. Coming up when you call 91 you expect 911, you expect to get help. But all cities are dropping the pal on answering emergency calls fast enough. It could be putting you at risk. After the break, the chiefs address the 11 response times and what they are doing to fix the problems. Welcome back to on the record, Bay Area Police chiefs. They are here to protect and serve, but all three of the bay areas biggest Police Departments are failing to meet state standards for answering 911 calls fast enough. We ask the chiefs what they are doing to keep you safe. Response times, California Law says 95 of 911 calls should be answered within the first 15 seconds. Some cities are missing their mark. Where are you guys at, are you happy, how can you get better, whats the problem youre having . Were not where we want to be at all. Were missing those standardized goals. Were not there. A part of it is our vacancy rate and our communication centers. These communication workers, employees, members of our Police Department work very, very hard. We are critically short staffed. We did get 403 applicants, so were delighted with that, but we have to process them and get them in. Theres two parts to it. The answering of the 911 call, which you refer to, then the response by the Police Department. When youre calling 911, you want all of it to be good. So we are doing a number of things. Hiring is a part of the issue, which our department of emergency manager, the city entities that handles 911 calls for San Francisco. And they are hiring. But the other thing is our research showed in San Francisco there are significant number of calls that are pocket dials that end up clogging the 911 systems. Thats Public Education piece is important. For my perspective in watching these stories, you know, youre sadden by the loss of life, but you have hope because of the stories we also tell and hear. My point is we all have heroes in life. Im curious who your hero is. Oh geez, thats a tough question because whenever im asked that question i stay composed. I was raised by a single mother, coming from porter kelly and to this day she has the heaviest accent in the world. You think we just got here. Shes with you now in san jose . Yes, she lives in san jose. Shes amazing. She worked through multiple jobs to put me in school at an enormous sacrifice she made to raise me and my sister. Whenever it gets rough to come to work, i just think about what sacrifices she made. My mother and father have always been my heroes. Like wise, my mom. I mean i watched her work 12, 13 hours a day and go back to school after we were born. She furthered her education. I know my work ethic comes from her. Theres much more we cannot fit in this half hour, so we posted the video on ktvu. Com. Thanks for watching on the record, Bay Area Police chiefs. Well see you online and on air.
