Candid discussion. Someone who pays close attention to what the commission does, i think the commissions resolution has much to be recommended, including establishing a time limit on the back end of the process updated d. G. O. Neglects a serious problem in the process itself how long it takes to get the d. G. O. To concurrence in the first place. The usdoj recommended the d. G. O. Process be reviewed every five years. My time on the Bias Working Group was well spent, and id like to thank those who shepherded us through this process. But these items have taken so long to go from conception to commission. To we cant wait while the streets suffer. Commissioner elias made that quite clear. Neither should the commission be hindered by the meet and confer process. Binding Court Precedent holds that d. G. O. S focused on policy decisions dont trigger meet and confer, nor is it needed to bring these changes to fruition. Sfpd needs it, the public demands it, and i urge you to adopt the d. P. A. S recommendations. For example, the d. P. A. It gives d. P. A. The power to recommend an item for concurrence. Theres a lot in there thats problematic. It doesnt deal with meet and confer. It is not a document that im prepared to vote on tonight. Commissioner dejesus i appreciate that. It is on for discussion and possible action, so we can call the vote. Commissioner hamasaki are we done with Public Comment . Clerk no. Commissioner hamasaki oh. Lets have Public Comment, please. Clerk good evening, caller. The public does not know what you guys are doing right now. Im just telling you, the important who spoke before me clearly did. Im not an attorney. I have no idea what youre voting on. There was you guys didnt talk about i dont know whether this happened behind closed doors, i dont know what happened over email, and i dont know what youre talking about. Theres a level of dysfunction thats on display. Its just disgusting. You really have to get it together. Like, its still clear that the breakdown between the board of supervisors and mayoral, like, appointee bullshit politics, its just so dumb. Like, there is real important work that you all should be doing, and its on such full display. Hamasaki is absolutely the worst when it comes to this stuff. Its just like such intense showboating. He never would have done this stuff when president hirsch was president. He never would have spoken to a man the way he speaks to taylor. Its just disgusting, you guys. Get it together. You need to let the public know what youre voting on. You need to actually, like, present the way you normally do because we dont know whats going on right now. Vice president taylor thank you. Next line item. Clerk we have one more caller. Good evening, caller. You have two minutes. Hi. Good evening, commissioners, chief scott, and sfpd, this is beverly from the San FranciscoDomestic Violence consortium. We are calling in complete support of the resolution and d. P. A. S recommendation to address the delay in sfpds d. G. O. S. Ive been really happy to be at the table on many d. G. O. S. Currently on the Domestic Violence d. G. O. And the deaf and hard of hearing which is coming up for a vote later this month. But you should know that we were meeting on the d. V. Domestic violence d. G. O. For four years before this, before the new process was put into place, and so those meetings were not happening without sfpd, those were meetings with the d. P. A. , the Domestic Violence consortium and other shake holders and sf stakeholders and sfpd for four years, and we could not get this to the commission. Now were starting over, or theres a chance to start it over in this new process, so we support this resolution. Also, the deaf and hard of hearing, which we talked about a month ago, thats been worked on at the table for two years. Every day that sfpd does not have these updated d. G. O. S, san franciscans are in jeopardy. This must happen. I also signed onto a letter that was not available to the public that really delineated the process from bay area legal aid. We were honored to sign onto it, and we want the public to know that the community is engaged in this process commissioner hamasaki i just want to briefly thank miss upton. She represents the consortium and has worked with a number of people in the Domestic Violence community. I think this letter is available in the Vice President taylor every letter that we get is not part of the supporting documents for each meeting. Commissioner elia Commission Commission commissioner elias you know, this is really disheartening. All i want to do is move this along. The deaf and hard of hearing d. G. O. Has been in concurrence for two years, and the Domestic Violence d. G. O. Has been in concurrence for four years. The fact is, some of the amendments that we put recommendations that we put in were taken out of the d. G. O. Its just its a sad, sad thing to me, but those are my personal feelings on the matter, and, you know, this isnt a personal process, but i wish that we could make reforms, you know, a little bit quicker, and not be justice delayed. Commissioner hamasaki yeah. I just want to clarify, commissioner taylor, the delay with deaf and hard of hearing wasnt delayed in concurrence until the very end. Is there still Public Comment . Clerk yes. Commissioner hamasaki oh. Clerk good evening, caller. You have two minutes. Hello, caller. Youve been unmuted. You have two minutes. Commissioner hamasaki if i have to adopt a resolution, my motion would be to adopt the comments incorporated into the letter. Commissioner dejesus its Vice President taylor its already been seconded. Sergeant youngblood . Clerk on the motion to adopt the resolution with the comments incorporated into the letter [roll call] commissioner hamasaki just to be clear, you can bring the motion for the resolution as drafted. Vice president taylor but thats the whole point, you know . We still have 5. 01 to deal with. We have other ones lined up, and its making things more difficult to circle back. This is why we cant get anything done. With all due respect, d. P. A. Reports to the commission, not the other way around. Commissioner dejesus stop making it personal. [inaudible] commissioner dejesus you keep saying im rubber stamping it, youre sandbagging me, youre making it personal. I did my review. [inaudible] commissioner dejesus you have to stop badmouthing us if you dont agree with us. I did my homework and i reviewed the revision. Vice president taylor stop yelling at me. I wasnt yelling at me, i was giving my opinion. This entire time, im not yelling to you or at you. Im giving my views on what i think is a fair result, and we all have the right and the entitlement to do that. Commissioner dejesus your comments your comments speak for you. You have been making it personal. Just talk about the facts. Vice president taylor i have not yelled at you, i will not yet at you. Thats not what it is about for me, it is about the resolution. So, you know, it is a sad day for me. That is the truth, and im allowed to have those feelings. Those feelings arent about you, those are mine. So with that, ill move on. Commissioner hamasaki i think i would like to note, as well i appreciate that. I think this was a real moment where we came together, and the d. P. A. Worked together with the Police Commission and brought forth a letter that delineated all of these. So we could have voted on it all tonight. We could have adopted it. We could have moved forward on it with a speeded up concurrence process, but also other issues that impact them moving forward. So, you know, i think that im disappointed, as well. I expected the resolution with the d. P. A. S to pass. I think weve all learned a lot through this process and being on the commission. I would ask that we treat each other respectfully during this process. Vice president taylor i agr agree. I agree. I dont know if its worth putting forth the resolution as stated for a vote, yeah. So with that, lets move on. Next line item. Clerk line item 4, discussion and possible action to Issue Department bulletins clarifying language for department general order 5. 01, use of force policy, discussion and possible action. Thank you, commission. And if i could ask Sergeant Youngblood to put up just a short slide, powerpoint, ill be very brief in presenting this for the commissions consideration. Clerk pardon me, chief. Its taking me just one second. Okay, chief. Its up. Before i start this is a brief powerpoint. I just want to, in the spirit of some of the discussion tonight, point out that the department of Police Accountability and the commission had asked for this to be expedited given that the department was tasked with coming up with some weve done that, and d. P. A. Turned this around quickly, so weve present this to the commission. So if we can go to slide 1, i just want to highlight some of the features of these policy updates. So the purpose in line with our strateg strategic plan, you know, really, our strategic initiatives, we have several. I just want to point out the ones directly that this policy update directly speaks to. Our strategy, too, in terms of responsiveness, strategy four, ability to intervene. Prohibit the use of chokeholds, which is already a d. G. O. And a feature of this bulletin. We want to go back to the policy that the commission has in 2016 to remind officers of their duty specifically to intervene. [inaudible] really speak to us being a better and stronger department. And thats prohibiting the use section 4, wed like to amend and add a section that prohibits the use of physical control to the head, neck, and throat area. Then section 5, we added a section consistent with the theme and the strategy statement of safety with respect, and thats to safeguarding the people that we come in contact with, and this speaks specifically to not putting people unnecessarily on the ground or seating them on the curb. It also speaks to when we have the typical facts, to lay somebody a person on the ground, that we get them up immediately when that situation has been considered stable. So, you know, leaving people on the ground is something we can do better at. We see it across the country, and its we can do a better job. We can do it here in San Francisco, and we can do it in other parts of the country, as well. Were also requesting a title change, d. G. O. 5. 01 that clearly describes the scope and purpose of these d. G. O. S and recommended provisions. And also, one other thing, in part four, we can go to the bottom of yes, the bottom of the slide. Part four, prohibiting the use of physical controls to the head, neck, and throat, to add language to prohibit applying pressure while using force to the head, neck, and throat of the person, and that was what we saw in minneapolis, and this was a change that was cited in our policy that we believe will make a clear bright line to this issue. Section 5, safeguarding the dignity. As i mentioned, we ha the policy explains that. Next slide, please. The next draft policy will be forwarded to the meet and confer process, and i know theres been a lot of discussion about that. And really, the discussion is impact, whether this policy has impacts on a lot of those associations. We do have we have a let me say this weve hired two people from d. H. R. To stream line this process. Part of the delays, they were involved in other work other than the police department. We brought them in. They understand this work, and we believe this will help stream line this process when meet and confer is legally required, so i wanted to add that to one of the things that were doing to try to speed up this process. And the last thing, as far as next steps, we have basically works with all the
