At slalom consulting. For disclosure, i serve as a member of san raphael fire commission, but in my role today, im only speaking as a slalom consultant. So building on sarahs conduct, this leveraged a paperbased system as she mentioned, but the d. P. A. This year made a focused investment on d. P. A. Technology to introduce a foundational tool to introduce timely and accurate report with specific reference to 1421 in mind. The tool provides near realtime visibility to cases in progress and opportunity for improved efficiency in collaboration. Looking forward, the d. P. A. Can leverage case data to drive policy recommendations. And in considerations of Lessons Learned on this endeavor, i would raise a couple categories, namely training and adoption of the system as well as data. So a couple comments about that. Time for training and adoption of the new technology by d. P. A. Personnel was insufficient. We would have included an additional month of training. And although there is 100 data integrity, there are still mappings that need to be completed. I think director henderson made mention of a couple of kinks in the system, and were still working to get these ironed out. But in closing, we believe that the system aligns with the core tenets of the d. P. A. , promoting information sharing specifically with sfpd and other agencies moving from core screen access to more fine grained access bidirectionally, looking for patterns to inform policy recommendations and overall improving the complainant experience. Those are my comments. I thank you for your attention. President hirsch thank you. Anything else from d. P. A. . Oh, you know what . Were going clerk line item 3c, commissioner reports. Reports will be limited to a brief description of activities and announcements. Discussion will be limited to determining whether to schedule any items for a commission report. President hirsch the only report i have is i was told to schedule 1421 for next week, and i was told that neither the commission nor the staff people for the department are going to be available, so im going to move it to the 14 of december for the commission reports. Commissioner elias so the 1421 policy is going to be moved to december 2 or just the presentation . President hirsch id like to move everything. Id like to have a full discussion of all of it at one time, so the policy and then the presentations from the departments as to where they are i think should all be done together. Commissioner dejesus . Commissioner dejesus so since you braought it up, i think this falls into that area. But im been inundate ive been inundated with emails about 1421 and surrounding, and whether they got in the seminar or didnt get in the seminar. This is covered in 1421 . Hirs president hirsch yes. Ive asked the department, the commission, and the d. P. A. To present on 1421 where they are, what theyve produced, how they go about it, what the issues are, and that is going to be scheduled for december 14. Commissioner dejesus so theres a presentation. Commissioner hamasaki is there a policy . Commissioner dejesus we cant do that on the 13 of november . President hirsch were not available. I dont think we have a meeting on the 20. There is no meeting on the 20. Commissioner elias there is no meeting on the 20 . Thanksgiving is the following week. Commissioner dejesus so now, the presentation, i guess the question that i have is how is this maybe the d. P. A. Should tell us how the hu president hirsch well, we shouldnt discuss that because its not agendaized. At that time, i will ask the d. P. A. To address the issues that have been raised on 1421 by the public defender and by your office and give us a presentation. Commissioner elias and can we have the opportunity for the public defender to address their issues so its both and not one sided. President hirsch well, its 1421 and theyll have an opportunity to address that. Thats not calendared for a full discussion top to bottom for the d. P. A. , which i think we had today. Okay. Next item on the agenda. Clerk commissioners report . No commissioners report . President hirsch no, no more. Clerk line item 3d, items identified for future commission items . President hirsch okay. Any items . Next item. Clerk as a reminder, the next Commission Meeting is scheduled for wednesday, november 13 at 5 30 p. M. At city hall room 400. The public is now asked to comment on items 3a through 3d. Good evening, everyone. I just want to say that i appreciate what mr. Henderson and others said about the conversation about the annual report. That was good to listen to the discussion that you all were having surrounding those issues. Those are some of the issues that weve raised. A lot of times, we come in here and it seems like were being critical, but were just trying to make sure that folks do their jobs just like were held accountable. This is the only outlet that we have, so it was good to hear that, as well as the public defender have that type of conversation. One of the things that i want to suggest, one of the reports that i heard today is theres these little copies that you have. I think that, for example, you know, the incident where they were talking about the person told to go back to a country, well, ultimately, all of that stuff is printed, i believe in openness reports. And so all of those summaries are there. And so what we at the public defenders office, if im correct, someone correct me, when you get that openness report and you try to match it up with the Quarterly Report and the annual report, because of the length of time it takes to try to match those up, its so timeconsuming. So one of the ways to possibly track this so it can be more transparent to the public is maybe put a number on the Quarterly Report and then the openness and then on the annual. And in none of those reports is the officers name mentioned. I think thats a way to deal with that because weve dealt with that same problem as well, is to be able to track and then that way, members of the public and other agencies can look and find if there is a pattern with other officers. Additionally well, im out of time, so ill save it for later. Thank you. President hirsch thank you. Next speaker. Good evening, president hirsch and commissioners. I am jim salinas, sr. , native san franciscan of the mission district. So its almost daily that i have people coming in asking me for information on Different Things as though i have the same level of knowledge that you do at this point, given that you all have been serving on this Prestigious Panel for some time. But let me just say this. One of the biggest conversation pieces that i have and i live in mira loma park, so we deal with glen park and Pacific Heights and those particular districts. People in these departments, the issue of not having enough officers, and thats the reason why crime is at such a high level. I know i hear different reports, but the perception is crime is almost rampant in this city, and its as a result of the fact that we dont have enough uniformed officers, so i was delighted to hear that commissioner mazzucco was saying we should be at 2400. Ive been saying for years that we should be at a minimum of 2200. But the reason i got up here is commissioners, each one of you have an impact. Every one of you knows, its too political, im not going there, and i understand why. But we lose the best candidates as a result of it. So all of you most of you are attorneys. You know that we have to be fair and unbiased, and thats what we have to do. So i appreciate all of you that are working to make sure that we reach that level. We have to treat everybody fairly, including those guys and those gals that wear the uniforms. Thank you, commissioners. President hirsch thank you. Next speaker, please. Im a Community Activist and abolitionist and community fighter concerning justice for San Francisco and 15 years in bayview. My son was murdered in a quadruple homicide that happened in hayes valley. The four young men and one young man who was just simply trying to cash his check, working on his half an hour lunch break. The reason that i am here i am here because im very, very distraught concerning the leadership thats going on in bayview at the department. The leadership, i dont drop names, but what i am requesting is a group of women, ourselves went to the Community Meeting on yesterday to explain ourselves because we are now working on feed the babies up in westbrook and also potrero hill because the children are hungry. So a lot of issues going on in the housing development, and the babies are hungry. So myself and i organized some mothers so we can start feeding the babies some breakfast. So we went to the bayview station to find out what we should do and build a relationship, and it was devastating of the attack that we experienced, the brutality, the brutishness, the meanness, the harshness, and the leader there would not allow us to speak. The leader thats been there three months, thats shocking. I feel for us to have leadership and for us to be an example over the officers, you have to be the example. And if theyre not the example, if they have to come to this agency to experience this type of energy, we are in trouble. We are definitely in trouble because these officers are going to go out and theyre going to be very, very mean because of the leadership. So we are requesting a private meeting with you, chief, in regards to this issue. Ive been working to uplift this community and to let them know that we trust them, that we that they need someone who trusts and let them know that theyre not just there for the political issues, so thats the reason im here. And i think that we just need to show positiveness and one more thing. President hirsch your time is up. Im sorry. You can address him after the meeting. After the meeting, please. I mean, the police accountability, my son, yolani, was beaten. I have people in the audience for this. President hirsch all right. If we have somebody that can address this . Is there somebody that can meet with this woman . Okay. Again, Public Comment. This is not general Public Comment, this is about items that weve discussed. Go ahead. My name is john jones. During the 70s, i worked for the San Francisco department of social services as an eligibility worker and after being trained, by fellow eligibility workers told me that if i were ever to get into a physical altercation with a client, a welfare client, that management of the Welfare Department would come down on the clients side regardless of the facts and my job was on the line. This left me with a very, very empty feeling. Needless to say it colored my entire attitude towards everything management did. I have time and time between left these Commission Meetings with a feeling, wondering who would really want to be a Police Officer in the San FranciscoPolice Department. The i come in here and listen to the d. P. A. Report which brags about the high number of, what is it, sustained findings they make, 7. 5 or 9 , however you count it. I think commissioner mazzuccos comment was very well taken. It has to be a morale buster to be half aware of what happens at these Commission Meetings. I would like to applaud commissioner mazzuccos recognition of the morale problems caused, and id like to applaud in the strongest terms the disciplinary attitude articulated by chief scott. Thank you. President hirsch thank you. Any other Public Comments on the items weve addressed already on the agenda . Okay. Public comment is closed. Next item, please. Clerk line item four, general Public Comment. The public is now welcome to address the commission on items that do not appear on tonights agenda but that are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission. Speakers shall address the remarks to the commission as a whole and not to an individual commissioner or d. P. A. Personnel. Neither d. P. A. Personnel nor commissioners are required to respond to questions presented by the public but may present a brief response. D. P. A. And commissioners shall refrain from entering into debates from speakers on Public Comment. President hirsch okay. Public comment. Hello. My name is reeta lark. Its been a long time since im here, on october 9, i called them because i wanted to document the conditions i live under. My power was off for five weeks. It was an endangered situation because if i needed to buzz the police or ambulance in, i couldnt do it. I would have to come out of my apartment 24 hours a day to let somebody in. I also wanted to let them witness the condition thats going on since mothers day weekend about the stink thats stuck in the structure of the building that comes into my bedroom. An officer said that they would make a report, and then they turned it into a c. A. D. Report, and all it says on this c. A. D. Report is talking about strictly landlordtenant issues. I wanted them to give more detail in the problems that im having, and so when i went to the station, could you please write a letter, the same officers that came to my home and make it more details, i left my make it more detailing, i left my number and never heard back. And im going to Court Next Week to hear all of these issues, and im trying to use that as part of my witness problem. So id appreciate it if someone can look into it and i can get this letter. Thank you. President hirsch thank you. General Public Comment. Thank you, commissioners. So about three, four months ago, i was contacted by a Senior Citizen in the sunset district regarding a situation that developed as she was parking her vehicle around the corner from her home, an individual certainly less than her age came out and was very aggressive and very offensive to the extent that at some point, the woman was so angry, shed seen fit to park her vehicle on a public street. She blocked her vehicle. Things became very tense, and the police were called out. A Police Report was taken, and the individual, the Senior Citizen who had, by this time, decided to take refuge in her home and had not come out as a result of the fact that she felt that the police had sided with the young woman as opposed to hearing all the details as to what led up to the incident. So i had the good fortune of running into commander dan perea, and i relayed the incident to him, and unbeknownst to me what he did was he contacted the Commanding Officer out at the sunset station, and a couple of wonderful officers came out and knocked on her door and said were here to take a little bit more information on the report. They did so, instilling trust and confidence in her that the police were there to take care of everyone, including former retired u. S. Park rangers. But all it takes is a couple of people with a little bit of sensitivity to instill trust and confidence in the citizenry, and i thank all of the folks that were involved to make sure that she gets out because our seniors deserve to get out and about. Theyve contributed, too. Thank you. President hirsch thank you. Good evening. Linda chapman. I wonder whether that report of statistics on Sexual Assault includes jewish home, although i told it was actually sexual battery. And you know, i see all the publicity about laguna honda, and thats there because everyone did the right thing. And the reason theres no publicity at this time because of course i havent gone to the press is that nobody did the right thing at the jewish home except Central Station and the advocates who came on when they sent their report. I was talking with emily merase about the special victims unit that creates special victims. You know, i didnt feel that much like a victim. I was a professional, and by the day after the event, i was giving advice to the jewish home staff on what how to manage this for their own protection and so on, which unfortunately, they didnt take, you know . But i really felt by the end of four months of police investigation, i was drained, you know . It was like a rag being thrown out in the street. Today, i went to get oh, after this is the first time, a little bright note from the last time i was here because i really am quite sure you want to change the special victims unit, but i went right back into the black hole after that, and i was told, go to the d. A. , go to the city attorney, and go to the public defender, not the police. So today, i got a card, which i think was helpful. However, this afternoon, i made a long trip to public records i mean, Police Records because there was no records in the d. A. S. When i did finally call them, nothing but the incident report, which was never corrected. Nothing in the Police Records, either. Fourmonth investigation. The things that i signed for him to go and get what would have been evidence, the medical reports, the r. O. I. , all gone. The administrative okay. President hirsch thank you. Next speaker. Good evening, commissioners, chief scott, director henderson. President hirsch good evening. Just a few days ago, an author penned an opinion in the Sacramento Bee expressing frustration with the speed of sb 1421. I hope you read it. I want to just read a new snippets of her piece because they bear on why im here and why i will continue to be here at these police Commission Meetings going forward. Access to the records is necessary to preserve public trust in the integrity of the criminal justice system. An officers word can often end up being the difference between innocence and guilt. In los angeles, dozens of cases have been tarnished by although sb 1421 has given us a way to begin identifying potentially problematic convictions, the process isnt working smoothly. The states largest Law Enforcement agencies still are not releasing records that are public undered law. And when departments have released records, they have been so in a deliberately slow and increasingly f
