There was some comment about tasers being considered by the board of sups did you hear some go about as far as i recall weve not discussed tasers at the commission yet or i dont know if it is calendared for discussion is there some other process outside of the commission to discuss tasers.

Thank you, captain. Questions colleagues. Commissioner Vice President turman. On the Human Trafficking issues are you working with local Community Agencies to help to identify the signs of Human Trafficking victims. I believe the training materials is put together in concert with those folks have been. Were working with the fbi and the formal Homeland Security and regional agencies a training on the 11 two trainings in San Francisco International Airport to train to look for anyone that is arriving and working with the hotels and making several cases sort of set the tone of what were doing and were also doing the decore operations on the internet. Commissioner melara. I had similar questions interested in concerning the issues of Domestic Violence that might go up and you might be planning for that and i was wondering if youre coordinating with other Police Departments in the bay area around the activities in San Francisco. Well in others Police Agencies the super bowl and the city of San Francisco is about 45 million apart weve been meeting in occasion with the Police Department in santa clara so thats lead to a lot of the trafficking training weve participated came to be were working with the other agencies the historically members are members of the special victims unit will be working during the timeframe well be responding to any calls of Domestic Violence and of course receive the full attention. It is important to emphasize as the captain said earlier the resources deployed for the venues in the events downtown will have not impact on the district and the officers with the calls of that nature we say advocates embedded in our unit to do do lead training all the groups know about reporting. Commissioner wong. I thought i had a smart question but youve asked her it on the Human Trafficking issue for shelters; right . To have the advocates ready think when we saw operation gotten cage is floated the entire system i dont know from the back up social system needs to accumulate a lot of survivors coming through. That was one of the things we spoke but with senators feinstein a concern she shares a new building in oakland now that is just been opened so she asked your special victims unit to see what we could workout with Alameda County more people rescued so well get it figure out. I got a call this, with from the coalition on homelessness that were concerned about the accommodations of the homeless surrounding the need to develop this city or the clean up up for the tourists have you meet with the local Community Groups for those concerns and the chief and i are meeting on january 21st. Actually chief and i will be meeting on january 21st on that issue on the agenda. And additionally with the rain in the last few days shelters will be openly and a place before that weve not had a lot of rain but the health effecting people to get them into the shelters it was raining over our heads a few minutes. There is a lot of coordination my question what efforts if any are spreading the worm for women and girls that Law Enforcement is ready. To that end weve made a significant case in december were now presenting that case to the u. S. District Attorneys Office to get it hope to get a publicized to state or federal as an example that were aggressive in prosecuting those cases and the recent events of operation across country was publicized well be looking for this like i said from the airport is as well as the hotels the hotels are being very, very cooperative so weve spent two years ahead of that. I hope youll continue especially the public use there will be consequences and finally it seems difficult that this district stations will have to keep up their Staffing Levels for 9 days and is there over time or a cost is the department and city ab associating this. Additional monies were put in the budget to draw parallel it is not the same stretch our world series runs those are one day at that time, run if you make it from coast to coast were fortunate we use models and venues with the Resource Plan we cobbled them to get the end result were confident we can manage this event and have it be safe then secure for everyone in the existing resources. Thank you. Any further question im sorry commissioner melara. One further clarification for men and women and girls or. Predominantly women and girls. Thank you, captain. Finally a request about our social media policy well have a draft social media policy going through the consequence and in the next 90 days that the Department Bulletin governs how members are behaving on social media will be in effect until it can be adopted and specific questions from the public about when photos are posted on the Department Social media sites we need the publics assistance in identifying them and press releases on Public Interest case can be posted and generally booking photos after the suspect is booked there are exceptions to those situations one would be photos well hold photos on ongoing cases where an identification might be necessary with a filth line up we dont want to paint the suspect prior to his or her line up. Is that policy in writing. Well, i know the social media those are notes as far as our photo postings i can check and. That would be great it sounds like those are the rules that have been applied we been asked to be transparent will the process theres a documents you could a share it with us. I think this is ill share it. Any questions for the chief on this matter. One question hopefully what were the end of the year homicide numbers. I believe we have 2 that circumstances in the case make those selfdefense so we believe at the most it will be 503 or 51. Thats down from last year paw no last year, we had 46 the average for the past 5 years has been 54 which is about 20 percent down from the prior 5 years over 40 percent down from the high of 2007 when we were around 96. Thank you. Any further questions for the chief . Okay. Thank you, chief southeast.
