Week, we get the fourth of july week. And so, friday, june 20th. And it was the next one. Now, regarding the status of our officer involved shooting investigations. As you have seen, from the materials with you, and there are currently, 20 open officer involved shooting investigations in various stages. And three cases were closed last week and that does not include, the three cases that were completely closed and finished out all documentation completed since the last time that i presented and not counting those and they will not appear on the lists except to show as a closed case, three new cases did open and one, 14, 002, occurred on the 4th of february. And 14003 occurred on the 8th of march and 14004 occurred on the 21st of march and i will get into those more but you ve been briefed on some of these. 5 cases have active very active criminal or administrative components of the investigations at this point. And in one case we have received the charging decision letters from the das office. That has been for the homicide, homicide actually completed their investigation, now, and that is with our office and so we are going to be able to wrap that one up and 11 cases are currently sitting with the district in some phase of review. And either with the reports being prepared or drafting the final charging decision letter for us. And with regard to the three, new investigations since the last quarterly, 14002 as i said, it occurred on the 4th of february, and as returned to 2 and convened and the officers returned the regular assignment and that decision was presented to you on february 12th, 2014. And 14003, occurred on march 8th, and to return to the panel convened and the officers returned to the regular duty assignment after the presentation to you on april second, 2014. And 1404, occurred on march 21st and returned to convene, and by, and i just say that it was five Business Days after the time frame for the return to duty panel. And the chief decision was presented also on april second so the officers dont return until the decision has been presented to you and those cases it is returned on approximately withhe respectful date that it is presented to the police commission. So just in terms of a year to year, 2011, those three cases up top are the ones that are all done and you have all of the documentation and they are all concluded and 1107 the oldest case that we have, that is the report that we just received in the internal Affairs Division and we are wrapping that up and my understanding is that the charging decision letter, if it is not complete is pretty darn close and we should be getting that very soon into the homicide. And with 2012, all of the 2012 incidents, 1, 2, 3, 4, excuse me, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, those were all in a review phase with the District Attorneys Office and we waiting on the charging decisions and that is the same with the 2013, 1, 2, 3, and 2013, case five. 1304 because this question comes up and that case is already all closed there was no criminal complaint and that was an accidental discharge that injured the officer and that is a closed case, the remaining cases 1306, 07, 08, 09 as well as the 4 cases from 2014, are all open and active investigations at this time. Thank you. Thank you very much. Sergeant, great work, and it looks like everything is moving with dr. Marshall and dejesus says that when we got in the commission there was a backlog that you would not believe and now that is cleared and it appears that we are waiting for the old he have cases for the decisions from the das office and i understand that moving faster on this. And i am talking to my counter parts over there and trying to parcel out more work and keep it moving. All right, commissioner dejesus . And that is exactly my question, is moving the backlog like, o7 and i dont know, 7 years ago, and that is 2011. Okay. 2011. Okay. So. What is the typical amount of time . Our average is probably by the time that they get it up to review is about 18 months. And i guess, is there Something Like especially with the older cases is there something that we can do or the department can do to help speed up the investigations. What they had the policy in the past had been one of the issues was that they were waiting until the criminal case was completely adjudicated and separating the focus on whether the officer had and was there any criminal activity by the officer and trying to separate that out and that should accelerate the process, as well as the fact that parceling it out and my understanding is that they are trying a new process with hopefully the effect of also accelerating of by fur bifercating and the idea of accelerating it. You are doing a good job, it will be good if we could continue to stay on that. Just for the record just going to a lot of the training of the outside agencies. And 18 months, is not an unusual time. We are probably looking at the average and we are probably about a 24 months between practically the time that the event occurs until we have it completely closed and we have a couple of cases lingering that may be a little older but i would say that the average is probably in the range of 24 months and the training with the outside agency and maybe a little longer, but it is not by an order of magnitude. We are looking at other agencies 18 to 20 months and hearing that it was actually, i didnt feel as upset, you know, sometimes, this process, would that help to speed up in the 18 months . I think that that is the purpose. It remains to be seen. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Commissioner turman . Actually, all of my questions were asked by commissioner dejesus on the exact same page. And i was really interested is there anything that we can do to help work with the das office to move this along faster. But you have answered that for me, sergeant thank you. Commissioner loftus . I bet that you can tell me what i am going to say, because i say the same thing. One, incredible job. Great work putting this altogether and two, 18 months is just too long. And i am saying it to say it to you because you are here, and i would apologize in advance. But what it is bad for a couple of reasons and just for the people who are watching, on one hand, if a crime was committed cases dont get better, the best Defense Attorneys know that the more time that goes, the case does not get better, memory fade and evidence you know goes by the way side and people are less interested, if something bad did happen and there is a crime we want to hold that officer accountable and that inhibts our ability and on the other side we have an officer that possibly should be completely cleared of any wrong doing and has that hanging over their head for 18 months and that is not something that i think that this commission under states at all and maybe it is possible that i can take some of my and i have an idea after two years of giving you this speech, maybe i should bring them to the da and share them with my colleagues. That might be. Thank you. Two years to come up with that idea. Hopefully next time we have this back and forth i will have more information to my own yeses that should be posed to them. I agree with you, it is very difficult to the officers and their families and we do our best to sort of mitigate that by letting them know what the process and and how long it takes, with the lieutenant nevan, and i conduct an officer involved shooting class, and we cover one day of the class we cover actually investigative process with the idea of the officers understanding that this is not, a reflection or anything, this is just how the process works, and how long at this time, how long it takes, and trying to kind of offset maybe some of that anxiety that may come with that. Yeah, thank you for that and i think that we can do better. Thank you. And if i may, commissioner, present mazzucco. And i just want you to know and early on when he were looking at this we actively tried to get the da to come here. Yeah. And we actually did. And right. And so, that is why i said good luck, in answer to you, commissioner dejesus. Anything that we can do, if you can in any way move the process along and maybe you have some things that we dont know. You can go in there and try to, you know, close the gap. And you are going to go for it. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you sergeant. And thank you, sergeant. And ali . Good evening. And i guess that in my eagerness to share the good news, and i am try to trump the good sergeant here. To be brief, and actually to take the chiefs words, try to be enforcement is up, and our collisions are down. Albeit a little, they are down. For the First Quarter of 2013, we issued 22,000 citations roughly, 22,000, 14 to be precise, but the comparable figures and the First Quarter 2014, we have issued 34,000 in 97 citations and tremendous amounts of citations, you know, once with the answer to making our streets safer save the citations and that is why we play. Move it along. Yeah. And yeah, there we go. All right, there we go. And the answer to citations, or to the Traffic Safety and our on streets is not just Traffic Enforcement and that is where we play a very pivotal role with working with the department of Public Health and San Francisco municipal transportation agencies are partners with the walk sf and the Bicycle Coalition, and the commissions on bicycle, and Advisory Commission and the Pedestrian Safety and Advisory Commission in terms of sharing the information and in getting as much input and in feedback as we possibly can. Moving along to the next slide, you will see, a break down of the top five, and the focus on the five and those are first in order. And cell phone usage is i believe to be a contributing factor in a lot of collisions, and fortunately, it is a contributing factor that cant be documented in any instances where you have the parties involved in the collisions and you dont admit to the use of cell phones at the time of the collision, so in many instances it is not going to be captured but with the evidence out there and it indicates that the use of the cell phones is a problem as it relates to traffic collisions and therefore, it is a major push within the department. And with the mistake and the fact that in the month of april was the distracted driver Awareness Month and the department issued over 700 citations, doing the month of april which was roughly doubled. And the amount that we did in april of 2013. And the collisions are done, roughly 8 and a half percent, and the information that i want to point out to you the most, however, is the degree of injury involved in the collisions that are or that have occurred are significantly lower, this quarter as compared to last year. And like i said over all the collisions are down 8 and a half percent and you stop to look at the number of severe collisions, and those are dropped and almost 18 and a half and actually 18 and a half there, and visibly injuries where you come upon a person who obviously is visibly injured and there is another 14 and a quarter percent reduction there. And a minimum reduction in just in terms of complaint of of pain. And so, the severity of our collisions are actually lessening even though a significantly greater than the aggregate numbers of collisions themselves which is also very significant. Just a quick update on our strategic efforts, and as you may be very much aware, they are the pedestrian and the mayors pedestrian strategy is now vision zero, and that is comprised of multitude of abcs and Community Partners and the role that we play, in that partnership is obviously the provision of data as captured by our collision reports. And obviously, going out and doing the enforcement and education that is necessary. These were the goals and actions that we presented to you in january. And that is why i wanted to follow up today. And driving the campaign and as i said as a continual part of that and not only during the month of april but also, continuously the cell phone use and the distracted driving is just a normal tool in the tool box for the officers in an every day basis and the focus on the five, 50 percent of the citations being the goal and those primary collision factors were up 3 Percentage Points towards that goal. And Public Service announcements, utilizing social networking, and if you want to follow us on twitter, and the sf Traffic Safety, and we use that as a means of providing the public with updates on information such as this month being bike month and in the Traffic Safety, updates such as making proper righthand turns or not, you know, driving while distracted and so forth. And part of our effort in terms of the over all increase in Traffic Enforcement has been purely strategic and we had unfortunately a number of traffic collisions on van ness where the pedestrians were killed and we utilized the partnership with the california Highway Patrol to do specialized enforcement on that stretch of roadway to augment what we do in the normal regular basis and we have utilized the media on these enforcement efforts as a means of capturing the behavior that has taken place that is problematic for these collisions. And you can utilize the means of educating about the problem and the efforts of the police depament. Speed enforcement is a part of our tool box in terms of over all enforcement and we will see that speeding violations are up 40 percent and i was just talking to the captain at bay view station and we are talking about the efforts and the bay poll and the area. And it occurred there and he just did some speed enforcement, and where they issued some 50 something itations for speeding in a short period of time and in terms of identifying the locations where we need to deploy the officers and be strategic in the resources and the use of the collision data is driving that effort and we currently are listing our enforcement efforts in terms of it is over all traffic citations on the website that is available to the public and we will be in the future. And providing the collision data as well as soon as we get more timely in terms of it being reported more timely. We had far too many tragedies on our streets and i am thrilled to see the Department Taking the enforcement piece seriously and the education piece seriously and one question that i wanted to ask you, and we are going to get into the resolution and we have the Community Partner is the idea of data driven is also collecting the data and putting it to use to enforce the enforcement decision and maybe if you could talk about if you are not quite there yet the time line and how we are going to get there, so in real time, you can see where you are getting the best bang for your buck which is obviously not a police term, i dont think. And to the resources. We are actually much more real time than we have had in years past and we relied upon, the data from the state, and the state wide and from the information, and for all, traffic collisions, once that is compiled and we get the information and we return, and it is generally about a year and a half, process and that is why the last report, offered by mta in december of 2012, only covered the period of time in 2006 and 2011. And so we are at a point now, where generally, we are able to provide the traffic collision reports that have maybe a 30 day lag time and so by the end of this month, we will have all of the data for for march and providing for the total collisions and the break down and the type of collisions and this is just a summary report, and i am also, we are also able to identify the most problematic intersections and the mid blocks, and locations and within the Police Districts and within that time period as well and so it is much more timely, and also, our captains of the stations are in tune with what is going on with the districts and working with the Traffic Company and the direct the resources to address the problems, and we, regularly get in the general Traffic Enforcement and strategic whenever we see a problem, and utilizing the different resources in order to bring the light on the problem and hopefully correct it and not only through the enforcement but also through education. Commissioner turman just to talk a little bit about some of that data that is coming out. And that we are now, discovering, so, you are able to pinpoint problematic areas, within the Police Districts and there is and we are shifting just those, and we understand that we are shifting, resources to those eras and we are increasing our enforcement activities and ticket writing, and all kinds of Police Intervention and other education programs. Correct . That is correct. And could you tell us a little bit about the educational pieces that we are doing in those areas. And you remember, that i would propose that the enforcement is a huge component of education and so as you see an increase of enforcement there is also the educational component that goes with it and in working with the mta and partners with the Bicycle Coalition and walk sf, and the effort is to try to answer as many questions as possible for instance, we are seeing the transit only lanes and the red paint and the big question is can the bicyclists operate inside of that location . So we have made it an effort to make it clear that no, unfortunately in this case, bicyclist cannot operate in the red paint and that is designated only for the large vehicles and there is much more engagement to make sure that people are aware of the law, and for instance, you know, this month being bike month. One of the biggest conflicts that we see between bikes and cars, is when a car makes a righthand turn, the car has an obligation to merge into the bike lane before making that ride hand turn and so we are making an effort to be sure that people are aware of that as you see it and the violations of it and we cant possibly, capture every person who is violating that and that potentially is actually it has been a deadly scenario in the past and so this month, we are really focusing on tr
