Request the chief of police to accept a donation from the Police Association for use of the sfpd Wilderness Program accept a gift of 5,000 from the children of deceased officer blackwell for use of the gym equipment for the northern station. Thank you. Can i have a motion on those two items together . Is there a second . To watch a presentation regarding sergeant blackwell gift. All right. Lets see if theres a second yet. I do. Okay. Now we are ready for the presentation and well take Public Comment. Okay. Thank you. Should be on. Thank you commissioners chief scott. Im the commander officer the captain of the northern policization station. I want to thank you for police station. I want to thank you for allowing us to make this request. Blackwell was a sergeant at Northern Police station. He was taken from us far too son but he was wellrespected among men and women of Northern Police station. We were contacted by his daughter Kelly Blackwell garcia. She conveyed to us it was important to her and her siblings that they remember their daughter with a gift of gym equipment to northern station and i humbly thank you for considering the request. Thank you for the presentation. Any comments from commissioners . Okay. Any Public Comment on items 1 and 2 . Please step up. Hi. Before i start, dont start the clock. I want to make sure the im blanking on the word, the overhead projector is on. All right. And you are going to address just the two items. Yes, one of the items. And this is working . Okay. My name is michael. I am here to urge you to vote no on the 6,000 donation that the Police Officers association wants to donate to the Police Department. We recently went through a very polarizing race for the District Attorney. And unfortunately the Police Officers association which i believe in many instances acts as a gang, yes the poa acts as a gang. And they spent over 600,000 on a lot of propaganda regarding the District Attorneys race. And i would like to go to the overhead. Let me well. Which way . There we go. This is part of the propaganda that they sent out. Using mug shots of individuals who they say are criminals and then on the back, they say that one of the candidates was the number one choice of criminals and gang members. This kind of propaganda you can come back to me on the camera. This kind of propaganda is not only offensive but it harms effective policing in this city. This is not okay that the gang that runs the Police Officers association raised 600,000 for this kind of devicive propaganda to get their message out. So now they are offering you 6,000 . 6,000 . Its crumbs. I dont think this commission should in any way be accepting donations from the Police Officers association until there is accountability of their just awful, terrible role in the recent election and how they spent 600,000 on offensive polarizing propaganda that i have to repeat harms effective policing in San Francisco. If you vote yes on the 6,000 of crumbs for the Wilderness Program that the Police Department runs in my view, you are endorsing what the Police Officers association has done in this recent election. Please reject the 6,000 donation they are offering you. Thank you. Any other Public Comment on these items . All right. Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Commissioner dejesus. Im just wondering can we discuss this . Can we take 1, 2 and 3 separately . Or just discuss it . Well right now its just there are two requests. I had them bunched but you want to vote on them separately . I would prefer to do that. What do you think . Well, this is not a committee, actually no, just to have discussion among ourselves. We can discuss it. All right. Well separate the vote out. The first item we are voting on is the 6,000 Wilderness Program which we just heard comment on. But Public Comment is closed. What is it that you want to say . All right. Yes commissioner hamasaki. I mean i guess i appreciate the speakers words. And i guess my only thought is or my thought is if theres money thats being used by the poa, and i do agree with the speaker that some of the political tactics and so forth were reprehensible and beneath the dignity of the department, but then again, this is not the Police Departments actions and this only represents the p. O. A. but in my view this is 6,000 that wont be spent on any future reprehensible conduct. So im a bit conflicted. I do understand what the speaker is saying. But at the end of the day i think its been widely reported that were it not for all of this reprehensible conduct our new District Attorney probably wouldnt be in office. So i think that maybe it ended up working out well for him. And hes the candidate you support. So i dont know. Im a little conflicted. It seems like the money going to the Wilderness Program is a good thing. Money generally going to the Wilderness Program is a good thing and its 6,000 that they cant get themselves in trouble with. I would like to ask you to have a seat please. Commissioner Vice President taylor. Yes please have a seat. I wanted to ask the chief to tell us the commission about the Wilderness Program. Thank you commissioner, for that. The Wilderness Program has been around for many, many years. And i dont have an act date, but for many years. And really, two things, two objectives. Number one it allows us an opportunity to really engage with youth from San Francisco at a whole different level than we would ever get to do in our regular duties. The young folks are taken you know camping and explore nature explore the wild if you will. Theres volunteer organizations that are behind it that helped over the years to keep this program going. And its a very worthwhile event both for the development of people that normally would not get that opportunity to do those type of adventures and second thing in terms of Building Community and trust with our officers. So its a very worthwhile effort, the Wilderness Program. And like i said its one of the staples thats been around for a very long time. Thank you for that, chief. I would note im sure, and i dont want to speak for my fellow commissioners, but there have been a number of things that the poa has done that im sure that one or all of us have disagreed with. And you know, the speaker referenced the most recent ad that its funny and notable that at one point the poa sued one of the other candidates in the race. So you dont have to agree with what the poa is doing in all instances. But the point of this donation the point of this program, is to help children, to help disadvantaged youth in the city who would not have opportunities would not have these opportunities otherwise. So thats why i wanted to hear from the chief about the program to see what the program was for and to make sure its something that we can all get behind and support. And at least for me i can speak for myself, its certainly a worthy cause. Yes. The police Wilderness Program has been around for a while. Officer scott, who was the son of a former police chief who was a former football player, cal berkeley graduate, started that program. He never promoted in his career so he could remain in that program something he took seriously, taking kids from the western addition, bayview chinatown, taking them camping. And that was something he was very dedicated to. And to us its an opportunity for officers to have relationships with these young men and women that foster trust between them and the community. And this police commission, and we do work and generally agree with pretty much everything at the end of the day but we have a dialogue. And what we are seeing is deviciveness, San Francisco is known for its oneway streets but the poa has first member rights to say what they want to say. People vote the way they want to vote. So being emotional or divisive doesnt work in this situation, especially for children going camping so i suggest we work for it. I also want to thank you the community forment cooing and speaking about for coming and speaking about the situation and the ads. I am happy and will be asking the chief to accept this donation because i think the money is going to the members, which is what the money should be used for helping its members do their job in a better way and improve their sort of quality of life while theyre on the job. And i think that bicepping this donation, they are by accepting this donation, they are going to be able to repair the relationship with the community which is something that has been broken, and the community really wants to relationship back, and i think Police Officers do too. And i think this is a good step in that direction and im happy to see that this money is going toward something positive rather than negative. Thank you. After hearing from the commissioners and the chief i do agree. I think that this is going to a worthy program that we have heard about before. And i think that, again, i think we all support because this does give young people who dont have this opportunity the opportunity. And just to be clear we dont regulate the union. The union does their own thing. We have oversight over the members. And i dont think a lot of people were happy with the conduct, but i dont think that should deprive the young people and the members who are working with the young people the opportunity to do the good work thats being done through the Wilderness Program. I do appreciate the comments. Okay. Lets put it to a vote then. All in favor of the donation to Wilderness Program 6,000 please signify by saying aye. Aye. Any opposed . It passes unanimously. We would like to have a vote on the second one. And this is the 5,000 donation to the Northern Police station in memory of Sergeant Thomas blackwell. So moved all right. Any second . Second all right. All in favor . Aye any opposed . That carries unanimously. Thank you. Next item please. Thank you. Thank you captain. Line item 2 reports to the commission, discussion.

Thank you. Good evening, chief. Good evening president hirsch, Vice President taylor, commission and executive director henderson. Im going to start off tonights report with our crime trends. Overall crime is down 6 percent. Property crime is down 6 percent year to date. Burglaries down 17 percent. Our auto burglaries down 4 Percent Company compared to last year and down 50 percent when compared to this time 2017. Violent crime is down 7 percent overall led by homicides which are down 18 percent. We have 33 year to date and we had 40 this time last year. So we are really working hard to try to finish the year strong on keeping the homicides low. Its a really good year. We havent had a year like this in a long time. So we hope we can keep that going until the end of the year and beyond. We had no homicides last week to report. Happy with that news. As i reported last week, there were four homicides in october and three in september. 22 of the 33 were cleared. 21 cleared by arrest and one cleared by exceptional clearance. As to overall gun violence, we have had 115 total victims of gun violence. And that is a result of 95 shooting incidents. Some have multiple victims. This represents an 11 percent decrease from 2018. And of the 115 victims, 20 of the gun violence victims resulted in fatalities or homicides. Again our fiveyear trend is very, very pleasing and positive overall. Our homicides as i said, we are as low as weve been this point in the year for the last five years. Our shooting victims, we are as low as weve been for the last five years and our homicides with firearms, we are as low as weve been in the last five years. So really good trends. Well continue to work hard to keep that going throughout the end of the year and beyond. Significant incidents for the week. We had four shootings that resulted in six injuries to victims this past week. One occurred at third in the bayview district, which left two victims injured with gunshots. The second incident occurred at geary and stockton in central which left one victim suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. And another victim received minor injuries as he attempted to intervene in a robbery attempt near the stone mall. Taylor and market we had a victim shot several times following a verbal altercation. All of these cases are still in the process of being investigated. No suspects have been arrested at this point. Another crime of note, another incident of note, not a crime, at least it hasnt been determined a crime at this point unfortunately we had a deceased infant found at Lincoln Park Golf Course in the Richmond District on november 9. The officers were called to the scene by golfers who found the deceased infant in the park. Our medics arrived and pronounced the infant dead. And early indications indicate the baby was stillborn and probably abandoned. Its still under investigation and theres still investigation by the medical examiners office. Our homicide unit is actually conducting this investigation. So we will report if it turns out to be anything other than a natural. We have not located the mother of this infant yet. The public has any information, please call us on that. Another incident to report is an aggravated assault which resulted in a stabbing on the 100 block of eddy on the tenderloin on november 11. Our victim who was wheelchair bound was attacked by an unknown suspect who pushed the victim out of the chair and stabbed him multiple times in the back. Victim was transported and treated for life threatening injuries but is still surviving or has survived the injuries. Two possible suspects have been identified from surveillance cameras in the area but this one is still under investigation. So we will keep the public informed on any arrest that might come from evidence in that case. Yesterday participanted in a press event in chinatown participated in a press event. And it was regarding recent incidents that had gotten quite a bit of coverage in chinatown. Robberies assaults and the like. And i want to give a quick and very brief summary of some of the results. Several of these incidents have gotten a lot of Media Attention and public attention and rightfully so. They are vicious attacks and heinous incidents. But here are some of the results. Ill be very brief on just a list of some of the ones that we have actually had success in identifying and arresting the perpetrators. We had a robbery in july of this year at pacific and stockton street that received a lot of Media Attention. There was a videotape robbery and beating of our victims that resulted in a victim being knocked unconscious as he was struck in the face by the suspect. Weve made an arrest on that case actually on october 22nd, 2019. And those charges were filed by the District Attorneys office. Second incident, july 9, 2019, aggravated assault on stockton. Suspect pulled out a multifaceted tool and attempted to stab the victim on the head. We were able to follow up on leads with help from the public. The officers identified the suspect and that suspect was taken into custody. We had a robbery in august on the 600 block of pacific street. We had a suspect who was robbed of his wallet by suspect. The suspect fled into the housing unit. The officers because of their relationships with members of that community were able to get followup information and identify the suspect. And that suspect was arrested on november 5 of this year just last week. September 2019 we had an aggravated assault on broad way and columbus. Our victim was walking in the area of montgomery when she was attacked randomly and without provocation. Approximately 15 minutes later another victim was randomly punched in the face. Our officers were able to recover video from that incident and actually midnight watch officers from central actually identified the suspect and took him into custody that night.
