Lets start with line number one. We have spanish translation. Item one is proval of minutes and action and for the meetings of april 23rd and june 4th, and june 11th, and june 25th and july 2, 2014. Commissioners you have the minutes in your packet are there any corrections or changes that you think that we should make . Hearing none, do i have a motion . Move approval. Second. All in favor .

We have to approve any gifts over a certain amount, i think that it is 25, when people make gifts to the Police Department, as you can see there are a lot of memos in the packet from the Commanding Officers and we get the gifts for the dogs and the horses and so i want to just tell everybody thank you for those gifts, it supplements what we do on the budget for the horses and the mounted unit and the dogs, and the horses and the dogs are the favorite members of the department and i know that the chief would like to have more of them and because the dogs bring in a lot of money. Have you looked at this and reviewed it . And are there any questions or concerns . Hearing none, do i have a motion to accept these matters on the consent calendar . Move approval. Yeah, do i have a second . All in favor . Aye. That is great. Before we move on to line item number three, i would like also to introduce our patrol special Police Officers that are here tonight, iron who is the leader, and fits who is one of the patrol specials they are in the back and i asked them to come to the meetings because they work through the Police Commission, and they are private enterprise that actually they own the beats in your neighborhood and they are paid by the merchants by their service and they look similar to the Police Department and i want everybody to see them and if there are any questions about the service that they provide, they are here tonight and thank you guys for coming. Line item number three, please . 3a, reports to the commission, discussion, chiefs report, review of recent activities. Chief is fresh from the beyonce concert. He is ready to go. Actually i missed the concert. But i understand that you might be able to hear. Based on the complaints. So, any way, it is a pleasure for me to be here and it is a pleasure to be back in the mission. And i spent six years of my time in the Police Department here in the mission and it was absolutely one of my favorite times and if there is a community that teaches you your trade, it is the Mission District and so everybody, there is plenty of input and plenty of back and forth and i think that the district now is certainly a safer place than it was back in the mid 90s, when i was here. And i think that now, with it and it is in great hands, Going Forward and i am sure that you will hold them accountable or you should based on what you did for me for six years. Any way, i am going to be brief and then i am going to give it to dan, but, the city wide out look on crime right now, Violent Crime is down significantly, we did suffer enough homicides in june and july, one of those homicides occurred in the Mission District on saturday july 19th. That suspect is in custody. So, that case is cleared, and you will be prosecuted for the offense. Homicides, year to date though are down tremendously. Although, we sadly have suffered 23 homicides, in San Francisco. Relating that to 2007, and 2008, both of those years about this exact same time we were around 60. And so, it is, we are going in the right direction, i think that one of the reasons that we are there, again, that we can talk about it during the summers, is our engagement of young people and it is now, we are now doing 7,000 summer jobs, through the Mayors Office. 300 of those jobs, are through the Police Department and when you think that the summer job idea started back in 1997, in the Mission District, and we called it the queen team, and they worked, and it was all privately funded and i see the people over there and he was good for 1,000 of that at the time. And there were, i think, ten or 12 kids and that is all of the money that we could pay, i kicked in a little a bunch of the merchants did, and all of the kids did the clean up and that is mushroomed to 300 kids and we actually have the Police Officers in the department right now that were the original Clean Team Members and so it totally works, and now, as we see the homicide rate half of what it was, just five or six years ago. And getting the kids to graduate high school, and the child ready or college ready, it is totally the way that it should be, and how we are back there on that beat and that is committed to educating our young people. So, with that, we are going to graduate all of those young people from their summer jobs and get paid this friday, and then hopefully back to school, year after year after year and we consider, we are going to be doing it again and again. We are hosting the jz, beyonce concert here at San Francisco at at t last night we had a few auto burglaries but that went without event and it was well attended and we are getting a lot of noise complaints and hopefully that will not be the case this year, last night was National Night out, in San Francisco and including in the Mission District it was terrific to see so many kids out and everybody together and the city agencies and young people and it really was a perfect night, traffic we continue to do our piece of the enforcement, education and engineering and enforcement and education, and being something that the Police Department can have an impact on, citations are up better than 50 percent, including here in the Mission District and some of the engineering is actually coming in as we just put in one of the first new signal lights at yorba and sunset boulevard, where unfortunately a fatal collision had occurred and two injury accidents just in the calendar year, 2014, so the message has been heard loud and clear we have to get a better handle on the pedestrian and traffic safety. And we want to keep our focus on Violent Crime as a Police Department and as the 300 officers that were short right now, come back, you will see all of those beat officers, bicycle officers, and school officers, and park officers and hopefully that will also give us a chance to make a bigger impact on property crime, which is up and that is my concert refrain is do not leave your belongings in your car in plain view. If there is nothing in the car, and all of the burglar will go to the next thing and if you are going to use your cell phone, try to step into an old phone booth to do it and dont just walk down the street and not Pay Attention and fall victim to someone taking it. And although we are better this year than we were last year, our cell phone robberies are still a problem across the country. So i am going to yield the rest of my time to the captain. Before we start with you, we will go through a kick report from the occ director and the commissioners. Good evening, director hicks. Good evening. Good evening, president mazzucco, commissioners, chief suhr, and captain and members of the Mission Police district, community. I enjoy the director of the office of citizen complaints and in fact, here this evening from the occ is senior investigater Edward Mcmahon is standing up in the back of the room. It is a pleasure to be here this evening to speak with you about the functions of the officers of the citizen complaints. We are also known as the occ. We are the Third Largest civilian oversight of Law Enforcement agency in the United States, only surpassed in size by chicago and new york. Civilian oversight agencies. For historical purposes, the board of supervisors, sponsored a Charter Amendment in 1982, to create the office of citizen complaints and we became fully operational in 1983. And i have been the director of the occ for almost 7 years now. And the office of 32 years old. And it was originally an office of the San FranciscoPolice Department. But later the occ was placed under the jurisdiction of the San FranciscoPolice Commission. And in the agency separate from the Police Department, the Police Commission of course is also a civilian body. The function of the occ is to assist the Police Department in Building Trust with the community by a bridge between the public and the police in matters of Police Misconduct and police policy. And our mission is to insure the Police Accountability by consulting fair, famely and unbias investigations making recommendations on Police Policies and practices and conducting medations. In california, Law Enforcement agencies must have a procedure to investigate the complaints by the member of the public against Police Officers, or peace officers. Or the occ serves that purpose for the San FranciscoPolice Department. And the staff of the occ is diverse, and it is a Diverse Group of civilian whose have never been San FranciscoPolice Officers. There are 35 employees, budgeted for the office of the citizen complaints and the majority of the employees are investigators and the balance of staff consists of attorneys and support staff. Our investigation process is that we conduct investigations to find out what happened and we follow the evidence by interviewing the person who brought the complaint known as the complainant and we also interview the involved Police Officers, subject officers and the officers and the civilian witnesses. We also have the power of the police to obtain evidence, and we on tain the additional evidence from the Police Department in the Police Report and the documentary evidence that the Police Department has generated or received. We can also visit the site of the alleged occurrence and we take photographs of places or persons and obtain video footage if it is available. Our aim is to complete our investigations within nine months and with the limited exceptions we must complete these investigations
