These are serious real proposals that will make a difference. Make no mistake. Expectations are high and we will fight vigorously to meet that. Thats why were urging local authorities across california and our state legislature to work with us in actively engaging in Police Reform. State law will end up some of the recommendations beginning in january including more officer training on deescalation and implicit bias but attorney general but sarah says Law Enforcement does not have to wait until then to apply his suggestion, San Franciscos district attorneys taking actions to try to reform the citys Police Department bodene announced a new policy directive today to prevent the charging and prosecution of cases they rely on the word of officers with a history of committing serious misconduct.

What we have a National Health support we means or communities will be safe. I will go down instead of police the Council Member says she envisions qualified civilian employees responding to nonviolent calls for service and really putting them into the hands of you know civilian trained professionals with out firing Law Enforcement whether they actually got the idea is not exactly a new one in the past open police provided staffing for the department of transportation and the oakland Animal Shelter as well as respond to calls for service from the Oakland Unified School district but not anymore. However at this recent Police Commission meeting interim chief Susan Manheimer had this response when asked if she could identify additional positions that could be handled by non sworn officers if you or others. Feel that we should be out of the business of responding. I mean i im curious as to where you know with a 28,000 calls. You know a month of curious as to where were we go to. But that all chief manheimer says as it stands right now some civilian employees insist on having a Police Escort i do know that or some other city departments to deal with the homeless and to deal with you know those Mental Health calls call us to escort them.

Lawrence karnow here now with a look at the weather or says seen these fires with the windy conditions out there not something we like to see to get to know you know the dry year weather wise and so the grass already turned brown and certainly get these winds like this and thats a big problem toward abdullah beach right now. Pismo beach right here you can see a highway one o one right along here certainly scary as that fire. Taking place into the afternoon. Thats when those maximum strength, the winds come weve seen some gusts over 20 Miles Per Hour and certainly well be watching that very closely tomorrow morning to make sure no embers continue to burn in that area and the bay area certainly weve had dosa winds in fact some of the gusts over 30 Miles Per Hour outside. And it continues to blow us howling still, and thats a foe 28 Miles Per Hour some gusts over 30 and oakland early on today now 1216 in the hayward 22 benicia 21 in fairfield and 26 both mill valley also at Stinson Beach so certainly some winds now and were going to see more than on the way for tomorrow. Winds may subside a little bit overnight tonight and then calm down in some spots by tomorrow morning, but then as we take you through the day another weak cold front is going to push through behind that the rich tries to build back in that get things gusty once again that some of those winds going to get blustery by tomorrow but a little bit of a change little more northerly component to begin to develop you can see that in santa rosa you can all see the colors in the yellows and also the reds, those winds gusting over 30 Miles Per Hour.
