This is going into our second week in january , and we started off the week with a number of violent crimes, shootings in particular, which brought our homicide total to three for the year. There were three homicides over the weekend. The good news is theres any good news in them, people were arrested in two of the homicides, and the third is being investigated. We had 11 additional gun related calls this week which brings us actually, its 11 year to date, which is slightly above last year, yeartodate. Its early in the year, and the good news is that weve only had one gun related homicide as opposed to four last year, so that is a significant reduction in gun related homicided by 75 . In terms of firearms seized, we seized 39 firearms yeartodate. President turman pardon me, chief. Were sorry. So we will try to use that as a legal method in our city to confiscate legal firearms.

Itll be followed by a march down to market to embarcadero at 2 00 p. M.

Also, this week, well have a News Conference actually tomorrow, thursday, january 18th at noon for the 23rd annual chinese new years press conference. Basically thats hosted by sf safe and the Police Department. Itll be at bush and grant and the focus will be on educating the community on extortion, prevention, scam prevention, burglary prevention, robbery prevention and pedestrian safety.

And again, Supervisor Malia Cohen and mayor acting mayor london breed will be a part of this and the press conference to kick this off. That is it for announcements. Its a fairly short report this personal report, so thank you. President turman thank you, chief. Are you ready for your presentation . Yes. President turman okay. Thank you, president turman. So the joint Terrorism Task force report, theres nothing to report because we suspended the joint Terrorism Task force in february of 2017. We have not had any officers assigned to the joint Terrorism Task force since that time, nor do we have an mou in place. As a commission, though, we are with the help of the commission working on with the assigned commissioner, commissioner hing, on revision and clarification of ddo 8. 10. Thats still in progress, and that is the first step to for the commission to consider clarification. One thats done, on how this revised dgo will if any, have any impact on our on the commissions decision to reengage or not to reengage with the jttf. President turman when do you expect to have that dgo in front of the commission . Commissioner, if i follow up present term with an exact date. Im told progress has been made and im told were pretty close, but ill get an exact date for you from commissioner hing and our members of our department that are on the work group. President turman commissioner dejesus. Ai sat in on that group and it is about ready, and we should talk to commissioner haney and see if we can get a calendar. Since sunday and monday and tuesday, its been reported that ice is bringing agents from all over the nation into california, intend to do raids in the state, up to 12 to 1500 people, rounding them up at a time. Its putting fear in the community and one of the things the task force worked on is what the role is in the department and just wondering how you are preparing for that with the officers, that they dont violate the sanctuary policy and how we kind of calm the community . Yeah, commissioner. So our instructions have been clear in terms of our policies are very clear in terms of the sfpd will not assist in any federal immigration enforcement, and that is the message that we are pushing forward to make sure that all of our members understand our policies and comply with the policies in the spirit of the laws here in our city and county. In terms of that, we its pretty clear. I dont know how else to state it. We will not assist, and basically, that message is going to be communicated constantly as it has been to the community. Commissioner dejesus okay. I guess well just have to wait and see what happens. As to the fbi task force, i just have one question, the one that was pulled out of. My understanding is that task force is giving officers maybe officers to this task force if they can go out and do interviews in the field with the fbi and whatever they want, but that doesnt hatcher the intelligence between the fbi and the department, whats going on, its just giving personnel to assist in fbi interviews. When officers are loaned to the task force, theyre basically deputyized, so they have a level of security and privy so some information that the rest of the department doesnt have. In terms of our relationship with the fbi show, we still share information. We have a very good relationship, and im convinced just by virtue of things that have happened since our suspension of the task force that if anything of a Public Safety significance happens in this city, we do have the relationship and the communication to to be alerted and take the appropriate action. President turman to be blunt chief, what commissioner dejesus is asking, i think, i want to put to rest. When an issue comes up in the city such as the one that recently came up on the pier that came up on the pier, they were fully briefed by the fbi, is that correct . Yes. I did personally get a phone call from the fbi, special agent in charge of this region, and we were advised of the incident, what was going on. President turman okay. I knew you are because you shortly thereafter advised me. So despite the public misinformation thats out there that our nonparticipation in jttf means that we are not receiving communication and Sensitive Information about terrorism or other activities counter activities that might be going on, that is untrue. You are indeed receiving that information, correct . Yes. Yes we are. President turman okay. Thank you. Anybody else have a question for the chief . Chief, thank you once again for your report. Thank you. President turman with that, well turn to director henderson. Clerk item 2 b, dpa director report, report on recent dpa activities and announcements h announcements help announcemen announcements. Ill be brief. For once. Yeah. The department met with lieutenant melinger. All of the meetings that take place here in city hall, we will be participating in. We are starting to get some of knew sta new staff and personnel into the department, so starting this week is also danielle who is in the courtroom, in our room here, whos a project manager and shes going to be working on building on our training manual as well as working on our mediation division. We have an officewide retreat for all of the new employees. Were trying to get as many of them together as possible. The investigators have finally been approved for background. I started that on day one, so we finally should be able to make offers. They were finally coming in next week for their final review and selection. I just want to acknowledge in the courtroom also are in the room today at the commission is my chief of staff, sarah, and our whole fleet of investigators here, and my legal team, john and tamara and sherry. Whew. President turman well, first of all, welcome, miss motley. Its good to have you. I think now that theres a lot going on at dpa. I think we now that we have a chief of staff thats getting something done here, its good to have you. So keep paul busy. Okay. Any questions for director henderson . If not, were ready to move to the next item. Clerk item 2 c, commission report, Commission President s report, commissioners report. President turman commissioners, i have no reports. Any commissioners . Next item. Clerk item 2 d, commission announcements, and item scheduled for consideration at future meetings action. Okay. Secr secretary kilshaw, in light of what we have heard, and i will work with you on the date, i would like to, in one meeting, schedule the the dgo that commissioner hing is in charge of. Id also like a report on our preparedness for these ice raids and specific training and information were going to be giving out to the department. Id like to hear something about that sooner rather than later. Were going to schedule that sometime in february , but ill get with you tomorrow for an exact date. Anything further . Commissioner dejesus yes. President turman commissioner dejesus. Commissioner dejesus so i sat in with the joint Commission Task force meetings. During the raid, there was an issue theyll be wearing jackets that say police, and there was a question whether theyre police. If theyre not post certified, they shouldnt be police. We should have someone on our behalf to do a cease and desist letter to stop i mpersonnating peace officers in the state of california. President turman thats good. Why dont you talk with whoever the designee on the city attorneys office. If you reach out to me, i can point you into what the advice is on that matter. President turman thank you, miss cabrera. Anything further, commissioners . Commissioner mazzucco, i dont see it on mine. Commissioner mazzucco ill ask to see the research too. Even at our church who said he was arrested by the sfpd in an ice raid, and i asked for a clarification arrestfterwards, said it was ice that were wearing jackets that say police. Probably for safety for the officers and the agents, the jackets should say federal agent and not police. Ill check with research, but thats an issue for the safety of the officers and the agents, too. President turman all right. Any other scheduling of items . Thank you. With that, secret, thary, items closed. I believe were on Public Comment on items 2 a, b, c, and d. Any Public Comment on items 2 a through d. Good evening, commissioners. Im kriss roby, and im concerned about the ice order. Im concerned on what will happen to Police Officer if they do actually cooperate with ice, and who in the commission is advocating that this is obviously a Political Action against the state of california and how are we going to address this because it has nothing to do with the grags, immigration. It has to do with a political power play that is disturbing, and its horrible to think that people in our country and theyre being picked off one by one in our country. Its serious. I am wondering if were a sanctuary city if we could not setup some kind of committee or relay system when they come, we are there. Couldnt the police who are protecting standing in between the federal agents and the immigrants . A lot of Community Groups are on that, in terms of first response. A lot of Community Immigration approximate. Right president turman well, thats not the role of the police. Well, if the role of the police is to enforce a sanctuary city. President turman our city does not require the police to stand between ice and and the individual. Im sorry. Go ahead. I stopped your time, just so you know. President turman thank you. I just wonder if that was a possibility. I feel like its very disturbing, and we want to standup against this in any way we can, so were all brainstorming. How can we protect the people of our city that are under attack from our federal government, so im very concern. President turman i agree with you. Its very concerning. And i think there are a lot of community organizations, especially legal organizations that are involved in that effort, which i hope many participate in. Unfortunately, i dont think that we can involve the police in that effort, but we as individual citizens should certainly become involved, and as ms. Altman points out, i think we should. Im also concerned, paul henderson, about your continued articles in the poa journal that demeans people even here they called imbalanced. They accuse the our public defender of going after his personal powers, so i dont really know why youre bending over backwards, as you say, so its not accountablity to the police, its police accountablity, so i dont understand the tone that its bending over backwards, the police bill of rights which they shouldnt even have a bill of rights, should be an issue for you to prove, so id really like you to think about that. Clerk thank you. Good evening, president turman and commissioners. Jim salinas. Please know that i my apologies. I just wanted to say that i really appreciate the the fact that Vice President mazzucco raised this issue about identification because right now, everybodys been struggling for the last year and a half certainly under this new watch with chief scott to instill trust and confidence in the Latino Community that the police is not there to harm them in any way, shape or form but to protect. And for the federal agents to come in here wearing those police vests certainly diminishes the ability for this Police Department to continue to build and instill the trust and confidence that we have lost. Everybodys working feverishly and here they come in, doing what theyre doing, and im as concerned as the Vice President is, as im sure all of you are, that this continue. Im not sure what authority we have to insist that they truly identi identify themselves as federal agents and not members of the San FranciscoPolice Department so thank you Vice President mazzucco. President turman any other Public Comment on items 2 a through d . Hearing none, Public Comment is now closed. Secretary kilshaw. Clerk item 3, discussion regarding draft or the 3. 01, written Communication System discussion. Good evening, president turman, Vice President mazzucco, commissioners, interim director, chief scott. Commissioners, in your packet, you have a general draft order, 3. 01, i have Sergeant Gary buck ner who will be covering the high point of that general order. Thats a collaboration effort thats been put together over the last several months. It was originally a department of justice recommendation in the cri or Collaborative Initiative report
