Thank you very much, sergeant willshaw, well come, chief. Thank you very much, vice preside president. I had i have several reports tonight, and id like to start on crime, and i have one of our key doj reforming issues, and id like to update where you are and where well be going with that process as part of the chiefs report, so ill start off with crime and ill just highlight the major issues with violent crimes. Our homicided are at eight for the year. We were at eight this time last year, so we were actually even with last year, which is not a good thing, but its a good thing that were not up. We did have a homicide on friday night in the panhandle, off of stannion, and basically who were shot. He did not survive, and the suspect ended up being apprehended later that night pursuant to an officer involved shooting, and we do have a town haul coming up next week on the officer involved shooting. Luckily in the exchange of gun fire, none of us were hurt, and we were able to take the person into custody without incident. He is in custody, the charges have been filed, homicide and attempt murder on Police Officers for that particular individual. In terms of our shootings for the year, we are at 20 nonfatal shootings for the year, and we were actually at 20 this time last year, so were even with last year. Our homicides with firearms, however, are down. Were at six this time last year, with firearm related homicides, were at four this year, so 33 decrease in our gun related homicides, and our total gun violence victims, were down 8 . Were 26 in 2017 and 24 year to date, so were down 8 there. The next phase of the chiefs report, id like to talk a little bit about the Strategic Planning process, and if i could ask deputy chief michael im sorry, mike tunnelly to come up. Basically, thisll be just a quick overview. Doj recommendation 39. 1 speaks specificallily to Strategic Planning and the recommendation with the department invest in Strategic Plan to provide a road map for the future, and kind of lay the foundation of where the department would like to go strategically. Late 2014, we partnered with the Mayors Office for a program called city bridges where agencies partnered up with governmental agencies pro bono and assisted in whatever the initiative that the different city agencies needed to work on. In our case, we were able to partner up with price water hou Waterhouse Cooper who partnered with us in starting this strategic process. In order to get a couple of things process. Number one it was to start on the process and number two, get our folks trained, our internal sfpd personnel trained on the internal Strategic Planning process, and i think we did accomplish both of those goals moving forward, although we have started and begun this Strategic Planning process, we have a lot more work to do. The Consulting Firm advised us that it will probably be a year to a year and a half before we are able to if we do it right and thoughtfully, to craft a robust Strategic Plan, so were now in the midst of that process. So what were going to show tonight is strategy 1. 0, which is the beginning of this process, and basically, the department chief will go through the process. And what strategy 1. 0 is basically they were able to help us craft strategic clusters by basically overlay with our departmental priorities, and present a statement that we wanted to present to the commission today before we move onto the more ro2. 0 which will be the Strategic Plan looking ahead for the next five years or more. So 1. 0 is the start of our process, and Deputy Connelly has a short presentation. Good evening, commissioners and acting chief scott. Very briefly, first, like, ten months ago well, when chief came on and was hired on, part of his philosophy was to create this Strategic Planning process. With the help of the Mayors Office in innovation, we were able to partner with price Waterhouse Cooper. Over the last couple of months, we engaged in focus groups. We had a Steering Committee which activi consisted of senior command. We had sfpd members from all stations in representative groups, including civilians. We had internal and external focus groups, which included citizens, sompz and communi citizens, officers and members. And price Waterhouse Cooper initially engaged them. The senior external advisors were hand chosen by the chief to represent community, industry practices, clergy, and it was a very comprehensive senior group that weighed in very heavily on this process. Some of the key documents that we reviewed were obviously the doj cri report, and in the cri report it mandated that we come up with a Strategic Plan. Additionally, as a process summary report of where we were in relation to the port and where we are now, that was an evaluation of the ongoing progress, and we have an i. T. Gap analysis which has been out there for the last five years. So that was some of the documents they reviewed. They also engaged outside departments, open departments, san jose, a number of outside departments to look at how their Strategic Planning process was formed. So with the input of information from those focus groups, they came up with this statement, and ill read it San Francisco sfpd stands for safety with respect for all. We will engage in just, transparent, unbiased and responsive policing, do so in the spirit of dignity and in collaboration with the community, and may i approach tain and build trust and respect as guardian of constitutional and human rights. This statement is key because every word was word smithed, and every word was taken from the actual artistic bids in the focus groups, so i cant over emphasize how this becomes a central part of our Strategic Planning, how everything we do in the future is going to point back to this strategic statement. As you can see in your handouts, it points to different parts of that statement, and there will be a much more comprehensive report coming out in the coming months, along with an Implementation Plan and a timeline associated with how were going to roll this out and how its going to build into version 2. 0. I will tell you at this point, the commissioners will be involved in 2. 0. 2. 0 is going to be a much more expansive program. Itll be another couple of years, and that will possibly be a five to ten year plan. These are five Strategic Initiative clusters that we arrived at at the conclusion of these ten months. Obviously i dont need to read this to you because its in your packet, but whats significant about these pillars it addresses a number of issues in emergency room its of the doj report, the chiefs priorities or goals in terms of fighting crime, addressing homelessness, and a number of engaging the community, so the chiefs goals, which he laid out when you first came to the department will file under these clusters, and then, we will be assigning these clusters to personnel to ensure that they are built outlet and adhered to while building to 2. 0, and that is at tight as i can get this. Thank you, that ts perfect. The strategy statements really well done, and it does have a lot of words that weve heard throughout our collaborative Reform Efforts with our Many Community groups, and with many diverse members of the Police Department both civilian and sworn. This is great, great job. I really appreciate it. Commissioners, any questions or comments . Commissioner dejesus . So i brought this up in some of the meetings. This is a good start, but one of the things is we have all these separate groups, you know . We have recruiting, we have use of force, we have all these different ones, and what i want to know is how, in terms of the overall Strategic Plan, how is each group going to meet its goals . How is recruitment and promotion going to meet its goals for more women and minorities . And part of this Strategic Plan, too, is how are we going to change the culture within the department . I dont know if were working towards that, you know, but its nice to have a statement in what were going to do, but really how were going to affect change in each one of these departments. How are they going to incorporate into the Strategic Plan in terms of doing their part to do whats necessary as well as checking off the boxes, yeah, weve changed a couple of dgos, were alternated that. Those are hard, cold facts, but how are we going to move this department in a way thats going to change. Multipronged answer. I can answer that. Three of the groups have a multiplan that theyre going to develop that will go under this umbrella. In their strategy, they have to develop the answers that youre asking to the questions that youre asking. So while the Strategic Plans in those groups may not have the hard numbers associated with it. It should have the spirit and the influence to actually create it. Do those groups have goals and timelines of when wethey going to meet this eir objecti . This is going to be an ongoing kind of thing. Were not going to say we have five new promotional groups, and then it drops. Yes, commissioner in. In answer to your question . One of the first phase of this, thats one of the things that the consultants helped us greatly was laying out a timeline with deliverables. It was a very tight timeline. We had to get things working on time. As we go forward in working with the commission, that same process will be incorporated, and these strategic clusters, everything that you said will fit in one of these strategic clusters, so theyre pretty broad, but all the things that you mentioned, recruitment, hiring, changing consuulture w fit in one of these, and the collaborative process, those will be headed by the appropriate Department People or collaborative work groups, including commission, community, leaders in different fields that will add to building this Strategic Plan under these clusters. And then, the last thing, are we going to continue to work with the consultant through all these different phases of this of meeting the dgo changes im sorry, meeting the doj changes. We have to go through a process, commissioner, so we do want to work with a consultant. We cant say itll be this one, because we have to go through an rfp process, but i think we learned a lot about this process. And what deputy chief connelly didnt mention, we looked at many other Police Departments, too, the consultants, and we reached out to many other Police Departments that had Strategic Plans that we thought were good ones, and reached out to these departments and picked their brains on some of the things to get their plans on board, as well. To answer your question, we plan to use a consultant. We have to go through the prosper city rules. Thank you. Thank you very much deputy chief connelly. Next presentation, please. Our next presentation, we have presentation of the limited English Proficiency report. This evening, im going to provide a brief report, which is our annual report on limited English Proficiency. Before i do, i would just like to call out and thank the Language Access working group that meets on a monthly basis. Its led by commissioner melara, and its been in existence since 2012, and its a great way to get the collaborators at the table to move fashd Language Access. Tonight tonight, we have some of those collaborators present. La casa has a huge staff. They volunteer their time, they teach at the police academy. If youd like to standup, thank all of you for all your work you do all year for the department, and for the city [applause]. Thank you very much, very much. So theyre here this evening, and they contribute their time to make our Department Better and our city a better place to live and work. So tonight, im just going to briefly go through some statistics with you. These are statics you hear on an annual basis regarding limited English Proficiency. Starting with the first one, this is the number of calls for service, contacts, investigations that an lep person that thwe work with lep person. In january 2017, there are 3,308 incident reports, and if we look at fiscal year 20172018, there were 4,402 incident reports, and there was thousands of interaction and providing the community with information, but this is specifically actual incident reports that are prepared. Turning the page, department general order 2. 0, you have something thats straightforward. If you have a person thats limited English Proficiency, you call a by lingual officer to the scene, followed by a person interpreter followed by a telephone interpreter or Language Line. In emergency situations, we can use anybody thats available to assist us, but once that emergency is resolved we need that bilingual interpreter to come. R assi r come assist us. Lingu last january , we had a how to be an effective interpreter class that began. We are finally working to update over 300 officers who are bilingual speakers and giving them an undate, so we had an expert flown out to San Francisco and put on the class. Were going to have another class on march 7th with 25 officers and move forward from there. And finally after ten years or seven years were having updating training that is taking place. Second, when citizens come and the Community Comes to file a report, there is information on several languages, and it provides information to them while theyre waiting to prepare a report. Were going to experiment with that as mission station. Again, were working on lep, not only training for all our certified officers, but also a refresher for our Field Training officers. We are working with dispatch right now because currently how it works, is if an officer needs a bilingual officer, the dispatch dispatch will ask theyll put it out on an all or theyll put it out for all the officers to volunteer. Were going to change the system and have dispatch call units directly because they now have a list of officers that are certified to respond. The last thing id like to mention, instructions for obtaining reports are now in five languages, so if you go to our records division, you can get you can find out in five different languages or if you go to our website. This is a service that we are now providing to the public, and thats my report for limited English Proficiency. Thank you, commander lozar. This is a project that was championed by former commissioner chan and commissioner dejesus. Theres a recognition in some situations like Domestic Violence cases, they werent sure who was the victim and who was the assailant because of language issue, and weve come a long way on this. What helps is the discipline part of it, that the officer becomes familiar with it. This has been going on many, many years, and i want to thank commissioner dejesus and former commissioner angela chan, because their where we are today, in order to have the ability to do this. Two weeks ago, i saw this in action where there was an elderly woman who was lost, appeared to speak russian. When the officer arrived from northern station, the officers sat and talked with her, they called the access line, she was taking the bus, she got lost, and she had some dementia issues, and we got her back to where she needed to go. It works, and i want to thank you for it, and i want to thank commissioner dejesus. Commissioner hing . Thank you, Vice President. I want to pick up on a on something you just alluded to, mr. Vice president , and thats the a real challenge with respect to Domestic Violence victims and the importance of doing your best to identify the victim. There for a few years now, when the when the secure Communities Program was in existence under ice, which has been reinstituted under president trump. It ended it flourished for a while under president obamas ice. It stopped, but it has been reopened. There are reports of individuals who actually were victims where the officers not in San Francisco, where officers were not sure who the victim was in some cases because of language problems, and so the victim actually got fingerprinted, and those fingerprints got shot off to the fbi and were shared with ice under the secure community programs, and these victims got deported, and so thats one thing that we want to be on guard for here in San Francisco. Lets make sure if were going to fingerprint someone, that its actually the alleged perpetrator. The question that i have of you, commander, is whats the Response Time in terms of when theres a need for an interpreter . Can you give us a sense . I know it probably varies. Yeah, it actually does vary. It all depends on the station, the assignment, whos working, whos available, whos around. So generally, how it works is an officer will say i need a certified bilingual officer to respond to the scene. The dispatch will attempt to locate an officer within the district or close by, but the officers are very sensitive if theres going to be an extreme delay, to go to plan b, that certified interpreter, and if not, we need to go to that Language Line and have that translation take place so that were not delayed in providing service to the public, but again, it just varies, and sometimes it happens right away, and sometimes it takes a while, depending on the language and whos available. To that point thats why we need to continue to train our bilingual officer, and really build in a pool out so we can reduce that Response Time and make folks available. Mr. Vice president , just one more point. Its not a question. I just want to commend commander lozar for his approach for the various working groups. Ive worked with him a little bit on the community policing, and i found your approach to be very inclusive and respectful, and i really appreciate that. Thank you very much, commissioner. Thank you, commander lozar. Commissioner melara . Thank you, commander lozar. This committee is very close to my heart, not only because i believe in delivering culturally Competent Services and also because of my commitment to Domestic Violence, but i want to say that this committee would not be what it is and producing what it does without the commitment of the many people from the community that come to those meetings, and i would say the leadership of mayor of miss marian, because youre the one who keeps it together. Youre the glue who brings it together, and so i want to thank you because your commitment really brings me to the tab the table, you know, its really commendable. Which agency is she with . You know, i forget. Shes with the Police Department. Thanks very much, commissioner melara. Thank you very much, commissioner lozar, and thank you, everyone, beverly, everyone whos been doing this throughout the years. Again, people come to talk about the things that arent right, and we started this process how many years ago . So many years ago, and look where weve come so far, so thank you. Please call the next presentation. Thank you, Vice President mazzucco. The next presentation will be drar john sanchez and acting captain john pera, to present the analysis of Sexual Assault kid and evidence. There was another project that was championed by a former commissioner, john hammer, and that was when we found out there was a backlog in testing of rain kits, so the former prosecutors on this commission know how important that is. Again weve made a lot of progress when we found out that there was a lot of untested kits, and the rational given was because they were known silents. We as a commission made a commitment to have every kit tested, just for other cases, for additional evidence, and weve come to a pretty good point, so i hope the numbers are good tonight, and im sure they are. I want to thank you for your report on that. This Police Department is updating something that others havent. Go ahead. Thank you, mr. Vice president , commissioners, director and chief. Thanks for allowing me time to speak. My name is john sanchez, and im the civilian director of Forensic Services for the department. Im here to provide you with that brief status update are for the processing of the kits from december
