Information will help officers become more aware of the decisions on black and brown communities. Second we would like to suggest transparency through the utilization of 96a. It showcases patterns that may be existing in order to ensure disproportionate, discriminatory stops not taking place. Third, we would like to suggest community policing. Having officers heavily involved in their communities there will be more of a connection which may help to limit implicit bias. Lastly we suggest procedural justice. Having officers focus on the way that they interact with the public, and it being neutral and all of their decisionmaking. At this time, i would like each of our interns to come up and give their favorite highlights of the summary with this. Good evening, commissioners. Chief scott, and executive director mr. Henderson. I am a San Francisco native. I will be starting my senior year at San Francisco state university. I am majoring in criminal justice studies and graduated with a bachelors degree in. My experience as a dpa and turner being part part of the osa program has been extremely rewarding. I enjoy assisting the office staff with organizing and creating new files and researching cases. I have learned an incredible amounts in such a short period of time. [inaudible] i know that my fellow interns and i will create a better tomorrow for future generations to come. Thank you. Hello everyone, i am val jones. I go to San Francisco state university, i am a junior and criminal justice major. At the end turn the summer, i conducted research, i did some organizing of case material, and various office support. Governmental and Community Agencies come together to create positive change. I believe in positive change and Second Chances is why why i look to fulfill a career in probation. Thank you. My name is allie, i am at Golden Gate University school of law. I enjoyed conducting policy research as a summer law clerk for the dpa. Particularly in the area of Language Access for those who are limited English Proficient or deaf or hard of hearing. My research had an impact on some of the policy suggestions that the dpa make to this commission so the sfpd can better serve and protect the community. My name is katie, im a junior at the university of San Francisco majoring in international studies. My favorite part of interning with the dpa this summer has been the opportunity to explore both public and private sectors of practicing law. I value this opportunity because it has reinforced and solidified my decision of pursuing a career in law. Hello everyone, i am amy gonzales. I will be starting my senior year, this fall, at San Francisco state university. I majoring criminal justice and a minor in chinese language. Being an intern at dpa, has given me the opportunity to obtain various skills. My favorite moment was summarizing witness statements and attending hearings. I created a proposal focused on helping young girls build relationships between the community and law enforcement. Good evening. My name is kathy, i am at Golden Gate University. During my internship with the department of Police Accountability i learned a lot about oversight, policy work and i was even given an opportunity to work with the Mayors Office. My favorite part of the summer was getting to speak with judge marty jenkins. It was really surprising to hear him put so much importance on it and give so much difference to the people that helped him get where he was today. Thank you. Hello again. I am a San Francisco native, born and raised in the bayview district. I am a senior at San Francisco state and a criminal justice major. One of my favorite things about the summer was honing my artistic skills, and helping out this outreach and dpa branding. Hi again. I am marcus grimes, a recent graduate of howard university. This is my second summer of interning with the dpa. I got to interact with major cases such as officer involved shootings. Simultaneously i was part of a joint internship of the state board of equalization. Showing me another side of government and allowed me to meet with more important leaders. You. We would like you to thank you for allowing us to present tonight. I would like to thank my interns for their tremendous work over the summer. I hope they use these professional developmental skills that we tried to instill in them and hopefully come back to San Francisco and that aspect. Again, thank you. Have a great evening. [applause] before you leave. I wanted to thank you ms. Thompson, first, from entering these young folks. I want to thank you all, and congratulate you all. I know you did work for the dpa, im sure it was valuable to the dpa. It sounds like you got some pretty fine training as well. I congratulate all of you. I noticed nobody said the highlight was apparent before the Police Commission. Even further, i want to highlight, that i met with them and i was not part of the favorite moment slots. [laughter] i wasnt a favorite moment either, and i signed the check. I want to say thank you all for allowing me to share, not just the successes weve had in life but also the failures on the hurdles that we have to go through in order to be here. And that you all can be here one day. I also want to say, i hope you guys take away some mentorship. One of the things i tell a lot of young people that we work with, when you get an opportunity to be in these internships year round, a lot of individuals, networking goes a long way. That was nothing i was taught growing up. You guys have an opportunity to do that. I think it would be great if we, as a commission, could get some sort of a certificate of a summer completion and we can sign so yall have those in your resumes. That is a great idea. We can ask staff to work on that. I have to say something. I met marty jenkins, im known him for many, many years. I was three years old. [laughter] he is an exceptional man. Thank you all. We appreciate the opportunity. Next item please. Line item 3c Commission Reports limited to a brief description of activities and announcements. Commission discussion will be limited to determining whether to calendar any of the issues raised for future Commission Meetings. Commission president s report, and the commissioners. I do not have a report at this time, do any commissioners have a report . Yes, i would like to report that commissioner mazzucco and myself, this week, had the final 1421 workgroup meeting, it was beneficial. We received several brief, letters and memos from the working group and the community regarding the 1421 and the suggestions on that will guide both the Police Department, dpa on the commission. We are thankful for all of the hard work. We have taken it under submission. We will continue to work on it and hopefully have a finished product to present to the commission for a vote establishing procedures. It was a very, i think, great experience having a lot of individuals in the room that normally would not be in the room together and allowing them the opportunity to have conversations that would further everyones interest in getting these documents out to the public, and getting these procedures nailed down. When you say that was the final meeting, does that mean we would get some product from that group . We left it with where we are at right now. There was additional language that we were going to receive from the group because the City Attorneys Office had taken protocols, and sort of created a new document, or working document which incorporated most of, or some of the suggestions from the working group that were submitted. We went through that document, we are just waiting for a few other sort of suggested anguish from the working group. Once we receive that then commissioner mazzucco and i will finetune its come and see what we can accommodate, what we cannot and then presented to the commission. Thank you. I just want to reiterate that. We also had a meeting with our city attorney, and the other members of the group that are represented by City Attorneys Office. The dpa, the Police Commission, the public defenders office, the district attorneys office. It was a very productive meeting the best part was, there was a dialogue, rare in this day and age. We had the Police Attorney speaking across with the aclu, or the public defenders office. It was extremely productive. I think out of this we will get a good work product that will withstand litigation and make its way through the collective bargaining process with reference to working conditions of the officers. I want to thank the commissioner and all those who participated, it was very productive. When you have a meeting with 1. 52 hours. And people actually talking to each other and exciting also i attended and spoke at the graduation for our police we had 19 new recruits graduated two fridays ago. Nineteen out of a class of 50. I think people realize it is very difficult to. We graduated 19 new recruits and we graduated five lateral recruits that had come in a shorter course. We have 24 new Police Officers the best part is seeing what a real Diverse Group it is. Seeing the pride at their families taken them. I reminded them the pride that their family has and treat others the same way they would expect. I think the message was delivered. Mayor breed spoke at the graduation along with chief scott who actually allowed soon to be retiring and new police chief in hayward, tony chaplin to speak. It was very admirable of you to do that. We have 24 new officers, hopefully we will keep them all through the full training program. Hopefully we will have bigger training classes. Quite a group to be proud of. The class president was the only woman that graduated, but she was the class president i won several awards, something we need to look at. I got the opportunity to sit down with the chief and some of the command staff as we reviewed the mou. I want to say i was very happy to be a part of that process. It was about a two hour process where we went line by line, through the entire mou and im really happy to say the Community Voices in there, and also some recommendations from dpa as well. Im really happy to be a part of that process. I also got an opportunity to attend a couple of press conferences around vision zero and trying to reduce reduce homicides here in San Francisco. The first was with some of our Community Leaders and members of in chinatown before coming here to city hall as well, too. Thank you. I havent done anything, but i wanted to, ive been gone the last two months, i went down to los angeles, expecting to continue special circumstances homicide trial that is in every normal circumstance would have been continue. The judge denied it. I was in trial for the last two months. I wanted to thank all of my fellow commissioners for doing some extraordinary work. I apologize for some of the Community Members and groups that i have been working with for unreturned emails. I am aware they are there and exist and i will get to them. Im excited to be back and thank you everybody for your patience and keeping things moving along, it sounds like a really productive fashion. I sort of have an announcement, working with president hirsch in the office on the department, we are finalizing the working group regarding warrants, privilege and journalists. I do want to announce we have some experts that are willing to sit with us journalist privilege on et cetera. Looking forward to setting up our first hearing on that. The second thing, i would like to see if we can schedule the resolution for the juvenile resolution i mentioned it many months ago to have a juvenile september 11, there is no way we can have it in august. This is it for august. This is our last meeting. Okay. All right, thank you for that. I think that is it. Line item in 3d, commission announcements and scheduling of items identified for consideration at future Commission Meetings. Action. Any items . Next item. As a reminder, the commission will be dark for the next four weeks. The next Commission Meeting will be september 11, 2019 here at city hall room 400 at 5 30 p. M. The public is now invited to comment on items three a through 3d. Public items on the items we have discussed already. Is there any Public Comment . Yes. My name is john jones. May my comments please the commission. I would like to comment on one mentioned in chief scotts report. That is the crackdown on all of these arrogant bicyclists and pedestrians we have something is causing feedback. Lets just out for a second. Hang on. There we go. All right. Lets start the time over. [laughter] i hear it again. Is that a hearing aid . I am hard of hearing. We have a paramedic that can hold it for you. Whats the problem . Its giving feedback. I thought i was being busted. [laughter] its actually a paramedic. Not tonight. [laughter] lets start at time over. I will do better next time. Chief Scott Program cracking down on these arrogant bicyclists and pedestrians out there. Im certainly in favor of the objectives of the vision zero program. I think injuries on the road are a bad thing. There is something the commission on the Police Department is not saying, and i make this statement to you based on my experience as a cabdriver, long time ago. Though i havent had a car for a while, as a person who has driven a lot in this lifetime, the department of Motor Vehicles license people for who, in my people are temperamentally unfit to drive. I think if you ask your lying police officer, the one that writes the tickets about that, he will probably tell you the same thing. Clearly the department of Motor Vehicles is beyond the count of this commission. But saying something about it is and you dont. How is it fair to ask the Police Department to crackdown on errant drivers one half of the drivers are out there unfit to drive. It is a rhetorical question, but i think i think that commission develops a certain amount of expertise and interacts with Police Officers, all the time and Police Officers will turn around and tell you that half of the drivers on the road, ought not be behind a wheel. Thank you very much. Thank you. Any other speakers on the items we have addressed. Seeing none. Line item four, discussion and possible action to general order 3. 06, residence certification for purposes of engaging in the with the Police Officers association, as required by law. Discussion and possible action. Good evening chief scott, president hirsch, Police Commissioners and director henderson. This wont be nearly as interesting as hearing the stories of our interns on their journey, but nonetheless very important. Department general 3. 06 is residence certification, and it outlines the Department Procedures and protocols for our Department Members. Including supervisors responsibilities to update their personal information. The proposed changes, i will give you the highlights. Overall the spirit of these changes are to update this general order to reflect modern methods of communication. I want to highlight section 2, that is that our Department Members will be required to use the San Francisco employee portal that is done through a website provided by dhr, ive used it myself, its easy to use and it provides the opportunity for Department Members to update their Information Online and pretty much instantly. I talked about some updates to this general order, in to a we are adding cell phones that speaks to how outdated this original general order was and in the original order, addition of the officers will be required to provide not only their home address, and their mailing address. The mailing address, one issue, home address at issue. This will ensure that our Department Members have the responsibility to provide us with their home address. Not only do we have to update our Contact Information but, fastforward 20 plus years from the original we have email addresses provided to us by the city and department on this general order touches on that and refocuses that change. Finally it touches on our tax updates or Tax Information updates. It includes a state form that needs to be provided by our officers. In section b, previously the Staff Services division was known as a personnel division. We are updating the name of our unit. Finally, section 3b not only are the officers responsible for providing us this information, supervisors are responsible for checking the information, and then asking the officers to update the employee portal. That is straightforward, i think, but i am available for questions. That is the end of my presentation. I moved to adopt. This is all three oh one, right . Know, 306. Now foz, 306. Any discussion by the commission . Seeing none. I guess we need Public Comment. Is there any Public Comment on 3. 06, general order . I see none. We are ready for a vote. All in favor . Any opposed . It carried unanimously. Thank you. Next item. Line item five, discussion and possible action to adopt revised apartment general order 3. 01, written communication system. Discussion and possible action. I will leave this off. I know you have a presentation director mcguire. 3. 01 was adopted by this commission back in 2018, i think february of 2018. Since that time the California Department of justice has looked over, and i believe virtually all of the redlined changes come from cal doj. Ive also been told by heinz and cal doj that there are 16 u. S. Doj recommendations that are being held up until we do have a 3. 01. Ive been asked to please see if we can get this adopted, after discussion today. The language that i will address briefly is on page four. Before i get to that, there was a question about mou, this was before as last time. The department went through all of their m. O. U. s which are memos of understanding. I must have seen a listing of 75 m. O. U. s, but the ones that were significant that they address, or impact dojs or policy, as opposed to simply be working agreements having to do with practice, are before us today. So that the commissioners could see those. There is also a matrix attack attached, it is a separate document. One of the criticisms that we have in the u. S. D. O. J. Is that we do not have a nimble, and quick system of changing and analyzing d. O. J. s. This matrix is a working schedule that lays out for the next five years what the schedule of review of the d. O. J. s will be for the commission. But, as laws change, as circumstances change, as emergencies arise, we need the flexibility to take something out of order and address it properly. I dont know if we did that tonight with 5. 06 or not. I dont know if that was on the scheduler came out of order. That was the reason this was not being included as part of the d. O. J. 3. 01. Coming before us, noticing it and have it discussed. Whereas if something needs to be urgently addressed by the commission, one commissioner can be involved with the department to agree to schedule it as soon as practical. That arose after the death where we had suddenly an urgent issue and we had to take some d. O. J. s out of order. We are not following the protocol but there is a reason for it. That is why we have the working draft of the matrix in front of us, separate from 3. 01. Without i turn it over to you. Thank you. Good evening commissioners. You have covered 90 of what i was going to talk about tonight. This will be superquick. Just as a reminder to you all, a few items, you have in your packet, the presentation that ive got here. Just a reminder of the u. S. D. O. J. Finding a recommendation associated with this particular dg gl. Essentially the recommendation is the sfpd should work with the Police Commission to develop a novel process for reviewing and approving general orders that support policing operations. So, the development of this deed gl has a long history. It has, i believe, with analyst, she was instrumental along with d. C. Connolly and sergeant buckner from written directives and drafting this d. G. O. Before it came to you in january of 2018. Just an overview of the major things that change with respect to this d. G. O. Some of the major things are each general order is mandated to be reviewed every five years. We are really trying, the first five years are going to be really difficult, its going to be an aggressive schedule for all of us, in order to refresh these ddos. We are committed to tackling it. The language in the d. G. O. Codifies the relationship between sfpd and dpa and drafting d. G. O. Sound bulletins and they have two points of input formally. With drafting the d. G. O. , we will go in and have a conversation with dpa and then in addition to that, prior to the Police Commission submission they have another chance to review it. And then for bulletins, the dva has an opportunity to weigh in and give their comments prior to Police Commission. Another big change is that we are doing away with the ab and c bulletins. We this will essentially reduce the number of bulletins going to all sfpd personnel. We will have notices still, and the notices really will be information that is on procedural changes training, general information, and messages from the chief of police. Will submit the d. G. O. Change form that will lay out the actual changes to the d. G. O. Specifically. And then that bulletin is valid for two years, and then the d. G. O. Has to be reopened i imagine the commission would want to adjust at that time. Otherwise, just a reminder this is the document in front of you. It first came to the commission january 2018, approved in february of 2018 and then we revisited it in january 2019. Talking about adding m. O. U. s to the scope, we made a small additional change related to this matrix and the written directors annual work plan. Written directors will develop an annual plan. We have this fiveyear plan, as you see it tonight. The annual plan will solidify each year, which d. G. O. Needs to come up we have to adjust the fiveyear plan according to d. G. O. s, or bulletins that are about to expire. Such that we have to change a d. G. O. So we will have to address that in the annual work plan as well. The idea being the Commission President would approve that plan, and then we will make the current fiveyear plan available , its available tonight, as you know. In addition to that, the annual work plan would be posted to our website. The final series of changes related to the m. O. U. s that Impact Department general orders you have existing agreements, as referenced, to the type of m. O. U. That would come in front of this body. With that, i dont have any further comments, or information for you. If you all have questions, im happy to try to answer them. The chief and i will address them as you have them. I have just one comment, and that has to do with the m. O. U. s there is language here that says an m. O. U. Which modifies a general order, et cetera. A m. O. U. Cannot really modify a general order. A m. O. U. Has to be consistent with a general order. I think that word may not be the best word. We need to come up with something where it touches upon, affects, whatever the word is, the department cannot modified a general order with an mou. That was also a point that i was going to focus on, the m. O. U. What i remember working with the department of justice when i go back to the bulletins for a moment, there were a lot of bulletins that had changed their general orders, even though there was a requirement that they had to come theres a timeframe. When i look at the m. O. U. , that was one question i had. The second question i had, there should be a timeframe when they have to bring in front of this commission. It just says it will be submitted for approval, doesnt say when, within 15 days, 30 days . It should have a timeframe. And i was wondering why it had all of these old memorandums here. Thank you for explaining that. I was concerned, when you mentioned i know there has been discussion that potentially makes the backup. That is certainly one that i think should come for approval with this commission. In terms of timeframe, that may not be a bad idea. The m. O. U. Cannot go into effect until it is approved here. If the Department Takes two years, that is not our problem, that is the departments problem. I mean, that is one way of interpreting it. They cannot sign it without our approval . You can sign it, but you cant enforce it. It cannot be enforced until it is approved here, if it affects policy. I just want to be clear, that somehow is that your understanding, chief . That is. Hopefully that is clear. Those m. O. U. s that fall under the commission, i cannot sign them until the commission approves. They cannot be executed until the commission approves. It is subject to interpretation, but thats okay. I would like tighter language in their. I dont want some other chief saying that i did not have to come before i signed it. The problem with the time limit though, if the time limit lapses, do they start over . Its creating an unnecessary bureaucratic problem, i think. Before effective, we could say. Guess my issue, to i am sorry, you dont . Yes, i am done. The wording in terms of who can agendized and item, we can request that an item be agendized. The way that it reads, i understood it to be that only the president can place it on the agenda, when all of us have the ability to request that something is agendized. I think the wording is a little i dont think this is intended to change any policy we currently have in place. Members request agenda items, they go on as i am able to put them on. This is no different. If you can come up with better wording, we can suggest it. I would like a better word than modified, may impact. Can we agree on impact . Yes. You already covered it, commissioner. Okay. If the commission wishes, in terms of clarifying the language that these m. O. U. s that are subject to Commission Approval have to be approved before signed by the chief. All right, thank you. We will make a clarification that m. O. U. s that impact the general order, have to be approved by the commission before signed by the chief of police. How about if we change the language about putting it on the agenda, submitted by the chief of police to the Commission President , i am sorry, submitted to the Commission President to be placed on the agenda for full Commission Approval, in accordance with commission policy. We would get rid of the chief of police. The chief is entitled to submit. Yeah, but to be what . To be placed on agenda for full Commission Approval in accordance with commission policy. I agree, the wording is confusing here. The way it reads now it is only submitted by the chief. Either we can request it be agendized, the chief can request it be agendized, you determine what is scheduled. At the way it reads now it seems we would go through the chief. Right. We can say request a member of the Police Commission, or the chief of police, m. O. U. Not coverage shall be submitted to the Commission President. Sounds good. If i may, the intent there was to make sure that the m. O. U. s go through the chief of police desk before submitting to the commission. It wasnt meant to circumvent the commission to direct that, it was meant to make sure that it goes to the chief of police before submission to the commission. That was unclear. [laughter] it says to president to determine if the item will be placed on the agenda. We are going to strike that. [inaudible] after review by put chief of police. M. O. U. Not covered by general order shall be submitted to the Commission President to be placed on the agenda pursuant to commission policy. Does that work for you . That sounds clear for me. Is that brilliant . Can you repeat that slowly . Hold on. After review, or upon review, by the chief of police and at the request of the member of a Police Commission, an m. O. U. Not covered by general order, or city charter, shall be submitted to the Commission President to be placed on the agenda pursuant to the commission policy. Or upon request. Upon review by the chief of police, or. You to be able to see it first. See what you missed . Got it . Got it. Does that work for you, chief yes, thank you. Okay. Any other issue by the commission . Let me ask for Public Comment on this item, before we vote on it. Any Public Comment on 3. 01 . I make a motion to adopt a new language . Is there a second . So moved. All right. I disabled my fearsome device my name is john jones, may my comments please the Commission Just weekly. Briefly. It was my impression, from the getgo, way back when, the department of justice of in the affairs of this Police Department was a my review of the department of justice report when it came out, indicated to me that there was little, or nothing, in that report that could not have been worked out among people of goodwill that were working lunch at tommys joint, and memorialized on the back of an envelope. I know you have to put up with it, and you have my sympathies. Thank you. While you may be right, the fact is i was not done until they came in. Okay. Can we have a vote . I think we need a roll call vote all in favor . Any opposition . It carries. Thank you. Cal doj and heinz will be very happy. Next item, please. Line item six, presentation regarding healthy streets Operations Center, hsoc, discussion. Good evening. I am commander david lazar of the Community Engagement division. Tonight, i am pleased to be joined by many of our partners and city on the healthy streets Operations Center. I know we have been here before and talked about the collaborative work we are doing. Tonight, we have a presentation to make and i think the Homeless Coalition is also going to make their presentation and give you a full picture. I am joined by cary abbott from the department of homeless assistant housing. Mary Allen Carroll from the department of Emergency Management. Sam peoples and larry stringer from the department of public works. Laura marshall from the Controllers Office, and emily from the Mayors Office. Our first presenter will be from Carrie Abbott from the department of homeless supported housing. Thank you. Carrie is on her way in, but i would jump in and her place until can you please identify yourself . I am emily cohen, with the Mayors Office. Thank you for having us here today to discuss hsoc. I want to start with an overview of the challenges that we are facing, in our communities. This is not a secret to anyone. I think we all understand we face a crisis of homelessness. Our most recent. In time identified over 8,000 people in our community expensing homelessness, about 5,000 of whom who living unsheltered. About 3,000 staying in shelters or other residential programs. What folks dont always see every night is the successes that we have. Last year we exited over 2,000 people from homelessness, and to housing. A very successful year. 2018 was the year we had the most exits out of homelessness of any year in the recent past. It was good in that way. The Outreach Team serves over 400 people each month. We provide housing and shelter up to 12,000 people every night. 12,000 people who fought for the services, provided by the city, unfortunately were not have a roof another good success. Four the department, of homelessness support housing in the city as a whole is we have the most permanent Supportive Housing per capita of any city in the united gates. Im going to turn it over to carry, who is going to continue. Sorry, how to run to the bathroom. [laughter] thank you for listening tonight. We serve over 1400 people each month and those are unduplicated contacts. They provide about 1200 actual engagements on the streets every month. We provide housing for 12,000 individuals each day, and about 8,000 of those arent supported housing, and the remainder and shelters on traditional housing. We have tremendous info. In flow. That is the explanation for the ongoing increases in the homeless population. Good evening, commissioners. My name is mary ellen carol, the executive director of the department of Emergency Management. I am here talking to you, because a of Emergency Management physically host the Operations Center, healthy streets Operations Center at our emergency Operations Center, we also provide Coordination Management to the overall operations. We have been doing this since january 2018, and currently hsoc is operational. Our. [roll call] on the city is to manage unusual events and crises. This, as we all know, is one and this is why we were asked to come in. With any operation that we are involved and we want to have clear objectives, and a clearer direction in which we are moving forward. The core values are an important one with an hsoc. I want to move these quickly and we will move on. The core values we follow at hsoc. Lead with the services, compassion and respect. Empathize with the whole community. Develop systems and services that meet individuals where they are. Believe that every san franciscan, house or on housed should have a safe and clean environment. What is hsoc exactly . It has representatives from key departments, if a few from tonight. We all Work Together at our facility. Hsoc as an operation direct plans, coordinates responses to unsheltered homelessness and behaviors that affect quality of life on the streets. Providing the infrastructure for this coordination, and to coordinate the increased investment in addressing these issues. This is just theres about 14 key folks that are involved in hsoc, on a daily basis. I will not go through all of them, but you can see, they are represented here. And then, i just wanted to this is a work chart, anyone familiar with how we respond, how we manage events, or incidents, this is familiar type of work chart that you might see. I want to point out a few things. First we have a policy group which is made up of Department Heads that are representatives of all of those groups. That the policy group meets every other week. They direct the overall direction. On a daytoday basis we follow we use coordinated, unified command. Basically there is no one department that is lead for hsoc. But the 4 primary department set on site every day participating, in our planning an operation meetings, making decisions on an operational level are the department of public health, department of homelessness, and housing, the Police Department my staff provides the overall management for the operation and coordination. We do have, as far as information we coordinate our public information, we do not have a dedicated pil we use the Mayors Office and the department pil, and you can see under operations, all of the key departments that are involved in operations and planning, department of Emergency Management provides logistical support, and we have the Controllers Office who you will hear from more as a key partner for us. This is my final slide, these are the goals, and with any incident, or project it is important to stay connected to those goals. It is connecting individuals to care, planning, to address encampments. Responding to requests for service from the community, and coordinating acts across the departments to increase effectiveness. Thank you so much for having us tonight. Thank you. I think it will get a chance to respond for a request from service from the community tonight. Good evening. I will talk about the Police Departments response, and we will go on with a presentation. I want to echo what director carol has said about who is in charge on the way to structure. You will see another presentation that talks about how it states commander lazar, hsoc. Really we try to fill in in the beginning months of some sort of structure and internally at the department of Emergency Management, we were figuring out who would have various responsibilities. As the months went by as director carol has stated, we have evolved into a unified command. It should not be the Police Department in charge. It should be the Police Department with public health, public works and the department of homelessness that has the collaboration and various roles. I just want to clarify that. Based on the presentation you may see later. Essentially how it all works, is we coordinate the call intake that comes in, a couple hundred 311 calls come in every day from the public regarding homeless encampments and individuals that are in need. We coordinate that. There is a photo on the screen inside of the healthy streets Operations Center and what it looks like. We did not coordinate dispatch. We are excited for the first time, we have a police dispatcher, a public works dispatcher and a public Outreach Team dispatcher sitting in the same area collaborating, which is a first for our city. We have our daily planning and response, 9 30 a. M. Meeting on a 2 30 p. M. Meeting on mondays from one hike at 3 00 p. M. We have a more extensive planning meeting and an Operations Meeting to talk about what the week looks like. The collaboration has never been better. Then we respond to street behavior, we also have staff from the field making calls to hsoc. One of the things i want to point out is that we have seen consistently, over the last 1. 5 years, various agencies across the country reaching out to us about our model. Weve had major cities can see what we are doing. We have boston coming out next month to see what we are doing after hearing about this collaboration. We are very proud of the work we are doing there. In terms of training we talk about leading services. Yes the Police Officers on the frontline. We sometimes become the frontline of the city government. We get calls we are out there 24 hours a day seven days a week. What is important is for officers to be thinking about, how can i get a person into shelter . How can i connect them with drug treatment. How can i get them the resources that i need . We have made it simple for our officers throughout the department to call hsoc, one number. We are able to coordinate some sort of help for people. Our officers, every wednesday at 12, we bring Homeless Outreach officers from throughout the city we have training on various topics. For example, shelter services. We train them on crisis intervention and remind them of the escalation in time and distance. About the Navigation Center. About our Harm Reduction process , about narcan grade we have saved a couple of lives using narcan. I want to thank you, director henderson, because the accountability came and addressed the officers on presented on the mediation process and the officers engaged and liked the presentation i really bought into the process. We will hear the numbers shortly about the number of Homeless Individuals in our city, and the folks waiting on the shelter list every night. That is not lost on us. We also know that we need to be responsive in addressing some of these issues. If you look at our statistics momentarily, you will see that the citations and arrests are down. We would rather get someone connected with the Navigation Center, there is 15 beds for us, generally speaking. We would rather get someone connected to the Navigation Center then take them to the county jail, or otherwise. We are using a coordinated outreach strategy, homeless Outreach Team, public health. We try our very best to get them to advance the work that the Police Department and public works is doing so that we can spend a couple of days for the larger encampments trying to get individuals connected to shelter prior to the Police Coming along. My last two slides, an example of the graph based on our data as to the decreases in citations that we have written. In august of 18, we were about eight months into hsoc come as the months went on you can see the number started to decline. Same with the next slide. Decriminalization of homelessness, those numbers have gone down. A little spike, in february, but they continue to go down. As we work to get folks connected with help rather than issue citations, or taking people to jail. Can you tell us, what does this slide show . This slide that you see here, is a number of quality the first one was citations. These are bookings. If theres an arrest during an encampment resolution it is because an individual has an arrest warrant. Absent that, it is either citation come or no citation. Just to be clear, we are following the ninth Circuit Court court of appeals case where we are making sure that there is a shelter for individual who wants it, prior to enforcement. If a person is in an encampment, they will ask if they want shelter, we dont issue a citation. We connect them with the Navigation Center. We try to play with them to go to navigation. We have a bed waiting for them. A in that case, we have the ability to issue that citation. That is when we do that. That has been a last resort if you look at our statistics, as of late. I would like to turn it over to the department of public works, sam peeples, to continue the conversation. Good evening. I am sam peeples with public works. Liaison to hsoc. Tonight i will be covering the tent encampments, going over thats on the quarterly. 1 time. The point in time we do regularly every three months or every quarter, and then i will cover the demographics as far as the Police District stations what is going on in each Police District station as far as the number of tent and vehicles. You jump on the site here, you will see that back in july of 2018, we counted 568 tenths, and then it decreased there in the subsequent quarters, all the way through to april of this year. Roughly about 19 from the last count we did in april, this year. The light lou boxes with the numbers in it represent the number of large encampments. A large encampment to hsoc is any location that has six or more tents. You will see here, we have been hovering around anywhere from 810 large encampments per quarter
