Inspector general report informational item Inspector General terry wiley will give a monthly report from the office of the Inspector General. So, Inspector General wiley has taken ill, but in his place, chief attorney, Marshall Keene from the department of Police Accountability will give the report. Thank you. Marshall. Good afternoon. Board members. Good afternoon, inspector wiley was actually scheduled to be on a Public Safety panel this afternoon with, chief scott and sheriff miyamoto, but unfortunately, from his trip to washington, dc this week, he became ill and is unable to attend, today. So he asked me to deliver to this board just a very brief summary of his work this month. I want to highlight the fact that Inspector General wiley brought our team down to, county jail number three following the lockdown to have a visit with the inmates. We were able to meet with groups of inmates, take down a list of issues that they complained about with regards to the conditions. We also had an opportunity to meet with the command staff at county jail. Three, to learn about some of the challenges that they face with regards to staffing. And we have a number of action items to follow up on, we brought senior investigator brant begin to take complaints, and he received some complaints that we are also going to be investigating as well. We want to thank, chief ju for, organizing the organizing the trip down there and the visit. And we want to thank captain quantico and sergeant pion for making every aspect of the jail facilities accessible to us. We were able to see every part of the jail when there was a complaint about the, sanitary or unsanitary conditions of the administrative separation rooms, we were immediately able to go up there and take a look at the rooms. And the conditions that were complained about were related to a sewage, issue that had been abated shortly after. So we were able to very quickly see that the rooms were very clean and sanitary when we were there, we will be scheduling regular visits. Inspector general. The Inspector General intends to, alternate between the two facilities in San Francisco and san bruno and will be announcing those schedules to this board so that this board can, can sign up to join these visits and engage the inmates to hear firsthand some of the issues that they complain about, the Inspector General has been very active this past month in trying to raise awareness about this office. As we are about to head into june and Budget Hearing season with the board of supervisors. So, driving support for this office and its work and its efforts is paramount at this point, as i had mentioned, he was supposed to be on a Public Safety panel this afternoon, he flew to washington, dc earlier this week, met with a lot of leaders over there, including Staff Members for congresswoman lee, congresswoman pelosi. And he actually met with congressman swalwell, they had the opportunity to discuss a lot of efforts for our civilian oversight on the federal level. They talked about legislative efforts like the george floyd act, as well as federal funding opportunities for Law Enforcement and oversight agencies. So were going to follow up and hopefully apply for whatever grants become available to supplement the funding for this effort, we want to thank the Sheriffs Office for inviting the Inspector General and board president su, to the Cherry Blossom parade, both were able to march in the parade and interface with the community, and both were announced in the parade. So, again, continuing to promote the , promote the office and raise awareness about the office, the Inspector General is actively engaged with the dream Keepers Initiative staff to, leverage all of the Community Organizations that they work with, and lastly, as youve all seen, weve launched a newsletter, that will hopefully increase, our, presence within the communities. We would certainly invite this board to submit to us any, folks or emails for folks in the community that have any interest. Wed like to increase that subscription list, wed also certainly had acknowledged and thank board member mango for the idea of creating a newsletter. And we have discussed also creating a Community Corner on the newsletter so that members of the community, through board member mango, will submit opinions and perspectives that we will then, use this particular platform to amplify those voices. So that, in a nutshell, is the summary that inspector wiley asked me to deliver to this board. Thank you. Thank you, any questions from any of the Board Members . I want to also acknowledge and thank, member mango for creating a vehicle for Community Voices and suggesting a newsletter. And i think member brooker, because he is so deeply involved in the communities, can also refer people to member mango for write ups. So thank you very much, any Public Comments on this for members of the public who would like to make Public Comment on line . Item two Inspector General report, please approach the podium when it is free. Being none, lets move to the next agenda item. Calling line item three. Department of Police Accountability presentation. Informational item. Chief attorney marshall keane will answer questions from the dpa presentation from the april meeting and will present on q one Sheriffs Office investigations by the department of Police Accountability. Well, thats me again. At, the board, according to board, board president sues schedule, we will be presenting Quarterly Reports based on the work that epa is doing to support the office of the Inspector General, i have a presentation to present the first the. Oops oh, actually, before that, item three a was if there were any questions from the last presentation from april. So we just kind of wanted to wrap up. I know it was a little bit rushed towards the end. Oh yeah. Happy to answer any questions from that previous presentation as well. We can launch into the Quarterly Report. Thank you. Thank you, so in this brief presentation well go over quarter one case statistics, which covers january 1st to march 31st of 2024. And that is the case work that the department of Police Accountability has been doing to bridge the transition of the investigative work to the office of the Inspector General. We have two investigators on loan and one backup investigator, dedicated to sheriff, investigations of sheriff misconduct complaints, secondly, we want to highlight some of the work that the department of Police Accountability has been doing to support the office of the Inspector General. What we accomplished in quarter one, in that effort. And thirdly, well provide this board with, some ideas in terms of what were going to, do in the future to continue our support until the office of the Inspector General becomes fully self supportive and, selfsustaining. So the number of cases, again, for the purposes of context and for the benefit of the public who may not have, read through the particular areas that dpa currently investigates for the, Sheriffs Office, we only investigate five primary areas of serious complaints or serious allegations of misconduct and Inappropriate Conduct by the sheriffs sworn staff. So a very small, limited scope of the complaints that come to the dpa, and that includes any sort of use of force that causes injury, any use of a weapon or a control device, pattern and practices of harassment or retaliation, any sort of, impairment of or compromising the health and safety and welfare of the inmates and any deaths in custody. So, those primary areas are what constitute these particular statistics . The rest of the complaints are handled by the Sheriffs Office internal affairs unit, which i think earlier this year, was a much the Sheriffs Office presented a much larger number of less serious complaints that they process. The three Year Comparison of the cases opened in quarter one for 2024 has gone up a little bit in 2022, 2023, and has leveled back out in 2024, this is really, controlled by the number of complaints that we receive and the referrals that we receive from other departments, mainly the Sheriffs Office. In a three Year Comparison of the cases closed, we actually closed a significantly larger number of cases this quarter compared to the same quarters in 2022 and 2023. I think that is attributable to a number of factors. Including the fact that we had a number of older cases that were previously told for a variety of reasons, oftentimes a criminal investigation or civil litigation related to those investigations where we pause it to take it, to let another investigation take the lead. And when those investigations or those actions close, we move forward and resolve those matters. So in addition to that, i think our staff is getting more and more accustomed to these types of investigations compared to the investigations that they had typically performed for the Police Department for many years and are able to effectively and more efficiently close investigations quicker. I think we are averaging about 183 days now, for closing a case and, over the past four years, we have not missed a single, 3304 deadline. So that is, you know, something that we continue to strive to do to, ensure that we have comprehensive investigations that are completed as quickly and as efficiently as possible. The cases pending snapshots, are really just a snapshot in time. And theyll fluctuate from week to week or even from day to day based on the number of cases that come in and are closed on that particular week or that particular day. So not necessarily more informative, but from the same snapshot in time from quarter 1 in 20 22 to 20 23 to 2024, we have a larger number of cases pending. In terms of the case findings from, quarter one, this is just a graphical representation of the high level allegations, by type, allegation type, whether its, misconduct, unacceptable Job Performance, whether its referred back to the Sheriffs Office or another agency because we dont have jurisdiction, or inattention to duty. In this particular quarter, out of 39 allegations, we sustained three Improper Conduct findings. And they relate to all, three different types of misconduct, unacceptable Job Performance and inattention to duty. This next slide provides more granular detail in terms of what those allegations are. These are the allegations subtypes. And as youll see, the Largest Group of , complaints that we get. And weve seen that consistently over the years is the complaint about unnecessary or Excessive Force, in terms of the Improper Conduct findings, we have a we have a finding for improper or Excessive Force as well as for. Failing to write an incident report and, failing to properly supervise, the inmates, what, one other, statistics that weve noticed over time within the dpa statistics, as well as with the dpas investigations of the sheriffs, cases, is that, we have been bringing more and more cases to close with an actual finding rather than a finding of not sustained or insufficient evidence. And i think th
