And its just consistent with the amount of fentanyl that is being taken off the streets. And, you know, theres a lot of conversation about the need to, to break up these drug dealers that are have, you know, taken over some of our streets in San Francisco. And thats happening. I know its a lot more work to be done, but definitely you all have made a huge difference. And i know dmacc started focusing on the daytime operations. And when you walk around this area in the daytime, it has made a difference. And i know now that were doing, you know, more night operations and things of that nature, were starting to see a difference in nighttime.

So its good to hear that its making a difference and that youre making a difference. I also want to extend a thank you to your family, who im sure being in the narcotics unit, you dont have a 9 to 5.

Thank you sergeant, commissioners chief, paul, the, im going to sound like a broken record here, but im talking over your heads of the camera. There but the people of San Francisco i have. Im 80 today. Hows that . Happy birthday. So i spent 40 years working with, severely disturbed kids. I mean, i taught kids that killed their mom and dad and killed cops from South Carolina to San Francisco. And the Justice System is broken in the. I know from experience and from watching the board of supervisors for all 30 years at sfgovtv has existed that the Police Promise you every year were going to give you foot patrols, were going to, give you Police Kobans we used to have under feinstein, the only way youre going to get that is if you elect your own police chief, then you have 8 or 9 people instead of running for mayor, pull the plug. Pull the lever for mayor. Pull the lever for da. Pull the lever for pd. Sheriff, but you dont get to pull the lever for police chief. All those people have to make promises to get elected, and they compete with their promises. You want. What you want is people standing there with platforms. Im going to give you foot patrols. Im going to give you a code, man, which takes, 30 commands with 900 cops, around the city where you knew there was a cop 24 hours a day and two of them walking. Is that 30s, sir . Yes. Now, anyway, the, two of them walking, but i got that. You think i got that out of thin air . I got that out of a 1940 Police Patrol schedule as a pd. So elect your own police chief. And then when things go wrong, look in the mirror and curse yourself and say, i pick that bastard out. Thank you. Ready . Good evening. Police commission. My name is chris ward klein. I have just handed out a packet that will include comments today and ones yesterday made at the Health Commission that require immediate attention and action by each of you due to access issues and over issuance of credentials and to police systems. Im urging the Police Commission to move forward with a recommendation to refer to the District Attorneys office, a criminal complaint in favor of an indictment on multiple people who gave out credentials to police and Public Safety systems illegally, and that have impacted Peoples Health in a negative way. I also urge a top to bottom review to include Senior Police officers. These charges and recommendations should include california penal code 502 and 653. 2, which is explained on the second page of this packet granting illegal access to these systems and that of Health Systems can greatly impact day to day officer safety and that of the community in which they serve. It could impact red light cameras by sending data to a driver. It could cause an officer involved shooting of a suspect, or cause an officer to be shot again by a person not authorized to send data to a person via a vehicle or data point near a situation in which officers are dispatched or approached in a day to day work situation. I want to be clear that i support Public Health and Public Safety, but i do not condone granting access to systems that cause pain, suffering, divide, or to force someone to move because they offended an officer. They go to a Different Church or their kids did not make the all star team. Having said that, Public Safety, police and fire often are targeted by criminals who use systems illegally to impact their daily lives, typically because they have arrested that person before. This happened before in this great city in 1978 79, that led to riots. I urge the Police Commission and the Police Department to make this a priority, and not only to lead San Francisco back in the right direction, but set the example for other cities and states as well. Thank you. Hello. First of all, i congratulate on everyone coming together to fight fentanyl trafficking. It was a, long haul for that effort to, appear to finally galvanize. I recall. Seemed like for years people were trying to sweep the issue under the rug because it kind of embarrassed politicians. But i want to, i mentioned this situation in the jails. Its great that, there is now water in the jails. Milk actually needs to be replaced with a, you know, like a nonacidic juice. At one time, they just had these milk cartons and, a lot of people in jail are actually lactose intolerant. So people wind up with, like, severe stomach aches all through the night from from the milk. But now they do have water as an alternative. But i mean, you could get rid of the milk altogether. Also, theres cheap baloney sandwiches that are brought to jail that they do not have sufficient like, quantities of, say, vitamin b12. And if people dont get b12, their nerves get kind of fried. So it would actually be better. And it might even be cheaper if you guys brought in, like, hamburgers or tacos or taquitos rather than the bologna sandwiches. Another issue is the defendants being steered into unsatisfied, unsatisfied plea deals and the endless hearings that go on for months. It can go on for years. And the worst that, oh, and the worst than, adversarial judicial system that leans towards impugning, maligning and insulting, peoples characters before theyve ever been found guilty, whether theyre innocent, guilty, whatever the presumption of guilt and the commitment to obtain the conviction makes the courts out to look sort of like kangaroo courts with, the. Good evening, commissioners. Good evening, chief scott. My name is j connor b ortega, and while im not here as a candidate for d3 supervisor, i am here as a resident who is a fierce advocate of sfpd. And as always, i want to take this time to thank the men and women of the San FranciscoPolice Department. Without these defenders, we would be at the mercy of the criminals who seek the destruction of our livelihood. And i also want to congratulate the officer who is being recognized this month for the incredible work that has been done and truly is incredible. 70 kilos of fentanyl taken off the streets is no joke. With the two previous Police Commission meetings canceled, i hope the time was used as a reflection for the position of the city and residents views concerning sfpd. We the residents of San Francisco, support our Police Officers and support any opportunity to make their job easier in keeping the rest of us safe with the passage of prop e and the requirement to redevelop numerous dgos to be in compliant with the law, i am excited to see us put politics aside and to support policy that assists sfpd rather than interfering with them. The downward trend of crime that we will hear tonight from the chiefs report is proof that what sfpd can do, if they are given the tools needed to combat the crime in our city, if the commission continues to try and play politics, you can count on me to be here to push back. Thank you. Sergeant and there is no further Public Comment. Line item three consent calendar. Receive and file action. Police Commission Report of disciplinary actions. First quarter 2024.
