Good evening, president hirsch, Vice President taylor, commissioners director, executive director henderson. I will start this weeks chief report with our Crime Statistics update. Overall part 1 crimes are down 8 percent and property crimes, ill start with property crimes they are down 8 percent as well. We continue to have fewer reported incidents in all categories im happy to report. Auto burglaries down year to date and compared to 2017 we are down 20 percent. Violent crimes are down 10 percent overall. And statistically our homicides are down 22 percent from year to date last year. We are at 29 homicides, year to date, compared to 37 this time last year. There were no homicides last week to report. And for the month of september and the month of august, we had 3 homicides in each month. Of the 29 cases this year, 18 of those cases cleared by arrest and one case is cleared by appearance. There are other cases from previous years that have been cleared so as of today we have an 81 percent homicide clearance rate for the year. Gun violence is also down im happy to report. Theres been a 12 percent decrease in gun violence over this time last year. Weve had 16 fatal shootings for the year and 94 victims of gun violence for the year. There were 75 shootings causing injuries resulting in 78 victims. When you look at a fiveyear trend for gun violence and homicides, we are as low as weve trended for the last five years as i just stated, 16, i believe year to date. 16 year to date. The closest year to that was last year when we had 19. Every other year has been in excess of 20 so thats good news we are down in our homicides with firearms and i think thats a combination of Community Support and the good work that the men and women of our organization both sworn and unsworn are doing to make this situation better. As far as a significant event this week, we have a few events coming up this week. Excuse me. Ill start with the reunion has been going well. Traffic has been a concern but as we continue to evolve in our traffic mitigation i think we will continue to get better there but its really been smooth, particularly considering the end of the giants season and there were several nights where we had simultaneous events at both venues and i think our folks along with npa did a good job of getting people in and out of mission bay during those nights. We have the warriors actually begin our preseason here in our city on october 5 against the lakers so thats going to be an exciting night. First basketball game at the arihanna. Who are youaarena. Who are you rooting for . [laughter] for the record. I like both teams. I do like both teams actually. I apologize. Given that the warriors are our team the warriors are going to win it. We also have concerts this week, we have concerts this week, the Jonas Brothers and the who, which are expected to be well attended as well. Other large incidents this week involve the castro street theater and hartley bluegrass which we will be if you fully deployed for. Its a free event to the public. We will be there in numbers and fully deployed. Fleet week begins next week which is always a great week in San Francisco. It begins monday october 7 and runs through monday, october 14. Weve been preparing for that for quite some time with the department of Emergency Management leading the charge. We are partnering with all the agencies in the city that have a stake in this including the fire department, the National Agency the National Park service the u. S. Navy and u. S. Military federal and state partners to make this a safe event for all. It will be very crowded as always. So we are asking the public to please allow extra travel time to get to your destination. When possible use public transportation. Muni has many routes servicing the water fronts to get you where you want to be. And remember if you are going to drive park smart take your valuables dont leave them in your vehicle. Dont be an easy target to be a victim of property crime. And finally if you see something please report it and say something. This month is Breast CancerAwareness Month and i would like to thank the commission once again for approving our pink patches. Last year we were able to raise 25,000 for the bay area cancer connection. So again well be attempting to raise funds through donations to support Cancer Research and support the bay area cancer connections. You can visit our website at sf police. Org to find out more on how you can support this effort. We have tshirts and wristbands and pins that are available for donations. And that concludes my report for this week if there are any questions. Are there any questions from commissioners . Okay. Next item. Line item 2b, directors report on recent dpa activities and announcements. Dpas report will be limited to a brief description of dpa activities. Oh, thats right. Sorry. Excuse me. Presentation of family code 6224quarterly report. Im sorry, where are you now . Chiefs report. Yep. Oh, right. Okay. So we are back at the chiefs. Good evening. Trying to confuse me tonight. Commissioners chief scott executive director henderson i thought you guys forgot about me. Immy name is greg im the executive chief of the Administration Bureau here to provide you the First Quarter reporting of the departments efforts on family code 6228 the infant code report releases. You should have the may report and the june to august 31st 2019 report. Ill leave that one on the screen. Police commission created the working group that convened in january, february and march of 2019 and the working group consisted of taylor, hamasaki, members of the San FranciscoPolice Department, members of the department of public Accountability Consortium status of women legal aid and sf war. Since that time on average the department has received over about 41 requests for 62 family code releases between may and september of 2019. The majority of these reports were made in person at the Public Safety building on third street. The majority of requests being made under Domestic Violence reports. As you can see this for example in june, 3,413 requests for infant reports and of those, 36 of those requests in june were made under pursuant to family code 6228. 26 were made in person. 10 by email and none by mail or fax. And that of those 36 the department was able to comply with the fiveday turn around to comply with family code 6228. As you can see the Domestic Violence is the majority of the reports as you look across june, july and august but there are other reports that are also requested such as Sexual Assault. And there is a report in there. As you go through this same reporting period of june to august 31 of 2019, we notice the title says reasons for delay or denial. Denial is based on if a person comes to the Police Department and they are not authorized or qualified for 6228, the report is still processed but processed under the tendaytime frame so the person still gets the report but not within five days but within ten days. Can you explain that what that means not qualified . In order to qualify you need to be the victim, attorney representing the victim, authorized conservatorship. Theres a list of authorized members within family code 6228. And if the person requesting the report isnt one of those identified members or authorized members then we dont process the request under family code 6228 but we just revert back to the tenday we redact the report and provide the report within ten days. Just by way of background it might be helpful for those here tonight. So the purpose of this is to Domestic Violence victims, Sexual Assault victims elder Abuse Victims can get copies of the Police Reports documenting the incidents that they can then take those and get civil restraining orders against the person who attacked them. Thats why this is so important and thats why our working group met to facilitate the fast turn around of these reports. Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Vice President taylor. Thats very important. So just to clarify we dont decline or deny reports they just fall into a different turn around but as you can see most all the reports have been that qualified under 62228 have been responded to within the five days and many times its within the same day. And we started in may so we have up until august our september numbers about 3,841 requests for reports. Of those 54 qualified under 6228. So the next report in january when we will be able to provide the october, november, december reports and then fall into the sequence of the quarterly reporting. Okay. Thank you. Commissioner elias. What about me . I thought you were. I had a question. Okay. I took you off. So first of all i just wanted to commend you. The reason why the working group met was because there was concern that nesterDomestic Violence, they were not getting access to the Police Reports to get restraining orders and there were language barrier issues and lots of concerns that were brought to the table and i wish that Domestic Violence consortium and the other members of the community could be here today to look at these numbers. There is the groups will be meeting at city hall tonight in honor of Domestic Violence victims. So thats likely why they are not in here but i would be very happy to see that for each of the months reflected here, all of the reports the incident reports that were requested, those requests were fulfilled within five days so im very happy to see that and i want to commend you for that because we were all really concerned. So this is good. This is very good. Good. Nice. Thank you. That was the first question i had was what the status was because i remember we left off the working group had sort of fallen apart because they werent happy with some changes that were made with respect to the bulletin that was going to or how these requests were being processed so what is the status on that . Its still in litigation so theres a lot of things the processes that we cant discuss at this time. But rest assured the men and women of the San FranciscoPolice Department crime Information Service unit understand the gravity of these requests and make every attempt to provide the victims and their authorized representatives with the reports in the timely manner. When you say the requests are fulfilled within five days, is that the same thing as the person receiving the actual report or is that different meaning you process the request within five days but the actuality whats the actual time period for the person to get the physical report . Within five days. And the majority of time they get it back to them the same day they make the request. Okay. So all the issues that the groups were having when they came to us and said it was taking months for the sfpd to process that, it is now a fiveday turn around . Within the five days, yes. Okay. And when you i want to make sure i understood what you said earlier if i heard it right. You went to the page where it said denial or delay reasons for delay. Correct. And one of the things is if the person is not authorized. Now, are these given priority over other requests that are made for actual Police Reports . Yes. Director henderson. I just had a question a clarification. We talked about the agencies that release reports for the authorized representatives. Do they still need to show the id, their ids . Their own ids or on behalf of the clients they are representing. Did that get resolved . I know there was discussion about that or is that part of the litigation . Thats part of the litigation. Okay. Okay. Thank you very much. Next item, please. Line item 2b, dpa directors report on recent activities and announcements dpas report will be 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 a future Commission Meeting and presentation of monthly statistical reports for may, june, july and august of 2019. Okay. So majority of my presentation was going to be on the report so i didnt put a lot of work into the rest of the stuff but let me give you an update on the numbers in terms of where we are. Right now we are at 568 open cases versus 500 which is where we were this time last year. Theres been a real increase, youll see when we go over the annual report of 30 percent from last year. And i think we are up 11 percent on top of that this year. So we are receiving a lot more complaints these days. In terms of cases closed we are at 469, which is surpassing the total volume from last year i think this time last year we were at 442 in terms of open cases we are at 408. This time last year we were at 253. So thats a high volume. In terms of cases sustained this year we are at 39 cases have been sustained this year versus this time last year at 34. We have 47 cases that are have gone beyond nine months which is our own internal track record of trying to resolve cases sooner and faster. The majority of those cases are told i dont have the exact number still because we are still tweaking our system to be able to pull those numbers out. In terms of cases mediated, we are at 27 cases have been mediated this year versus 14 this time last year. We have a number of outreach events. We took participated in a presentation with the community at the riley center on post incarceration. The 19th we were at the San FranciscoDistrict Attorneys Office, Public Safety at the city college.
