Doing, that know the signs and know what to do when there is an overdose happening. I think, as the board of supervisors, you have the capability of supporting narratives that humanize these people that are on the street, regardless of how they ended up there and regardless of what choices they are making with the options that they have. You need to rebuild the narrative around these people that is built around compassion rather than condemnation. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. My n...

Responds to Police Commission requests. It seems like the Police Commission, as by design, is the main sort of body that dictates what information this department will provide to others, what they will do. I think theres a role for the board of supervisors. And this hearing is really useful in that part. I hope this is one of many hearings that continue to ask the department for more, for working with other agencies and for doing the good work they are doing. Theyve done really good work. When y...
