Thank you, chief good evening commissioners. Im here to introduceits my pleasure to introduce lieut. Molina could we also look from the department of Public Health director Stephanie Felder. I saw stephanie walk in and also dr. Angelica omega. On this mou with us and will give a brief presentation as well the tenant molina. So we are here tonight give you an update and overview of the mou signed with the department of Public Health which i believe is a really forward thinking proactive approach to ensure not only the safety of our officers but also the community as a whole. The partnerspartnership includes strategies to Work Together to prevent behavioral crisis from occurring but also to provide the investigative support to our investigative units around behavioral crisis situations. We developed the Team Response which during a Critical Incident distinguished on now and lieut. Molina will recognize some of the authors working with them to try and come to a good conclusion into a peaceful resolution on that response. After the response, we also have a plan to follow coordinated approach to prevent that reoccurrence whether its within a neighborhood in San Francisco, at a Treatment Center or anyplace like that. The dph members will also be working with our officers actively around training in Crisis Response to getting a better understanding of how we have trained better in our tactics around deescalation. We will also gain insight and understanding from them with a clinical psychologist and Behavioral Health commissions that are god, on board to work directly with our officers. So some initial goals weve initially set for this program is obviously dph providing support in the field where there is Behavioral Health components with the goal of a peaceful resolution. Also we will focus on chronic Mental Health users in all Police Districts to prevent a behavioral crisis from occurring and lastly, to support the patrol force and try and reduce the Mental Health calls for service for patrol officers in the field with a proactive approach up front working with the district station captains. Lastly before they not only to welcome commissioner mazzucco will be joining the cit workgroup representing the spotty in working through all our crisis intervention training to come. So welcome, commissioner. Without of the view lieut. Molina and her dph staff as well. The thank you chief. He was lieut. Molina is no stranger to us. Good to see back your lieutenant. Thank you commission appeared good evening director and chief. The me introduce my unit did ive sgt. Kevincarlos [inaudible] an officer [inaudible] were going to be part of the psychiatric unit but its a component of cit. With me we have Angelica Medina and director Stephanie Felder. So just to do an overview i know you did a great job of doing the overview of the program that we have with dph. This unit is quick to focus on two components. We are going to have the prevention component which means, as i said before to the commission, having excess of over 4000 even be in the year. So our focus, our main focus we concentrating on those highend users of services. So with that, our goal is to collect the data, to see who the highend users are and reach out to the people through the department of Public Health. I know there is some [inaudible] that we have to abide by and show the person is going to be a little bit slow in the beginning but we already have established the bridge of communication between sf pd and dph and were working [inaudible] ive seen a lot of progress in the last two months ago we been working together on how we are going to address this issue. We have a list of about 100. The top people that have been 5150s more than 40 times in one year. So we are focusing on that individual and with the bridge of communication we have established with dph reach out to them obviously they cannot talk back to me because of hippa laws but were able to connect with the commission assigned to the person and secure a waiver allowing us to talk to her and her to talk to us and now we have a plan in progress. We are going to be addressing this persons Mental Health issues and hopefully treatment or lack of treatment but now we are engaged so very actively working with dph in that sense. That just one of the first things that this joint partnership has done so far. I think its going in a good direction. The second component will be the Crisis Response. I know lieut. Medina is can talk more about how her department is quick to respond. I just want to give you a brief just action about sfpd will respond to it. We will be notified. We will notify director of crisis which is Stephanie Felder, i think. [inaudible] by phone she will connect to her unit. That unit will designate a crimeintervention specialist to respond in that specialist is going to connect with our Operational Command that will be in charge of the crisis situation. There will will be for advice and for information based on whatever [inaudible] we can have were allowed to communicate with each other and we will come up with a plan to negotiate on the team is can a huge role in working with dph as i said before the three members of my unit are negotiations Hostage Negotiators also. So that is a platform for that. The last components will be the investigative component. Sgt. [inaudible] has been one woman unit in the past for the Police Department was billy sick i took liaison for the unit and working with the different agencies and the city so now she has help and we are going to continue with that unit. There will will be to provide support to the investigative units at district stations to the bureaus into the patrol force. So when they [inaudible] that has Mental Health components she will be notified and she will respond to assist or provide advice on how to deal with the situation, or with the come out with the best plan addressing the Mental Health issues that this person might have [inaudible] and are big thing is to look for divergent when possible. So thats one of the goals we have. Thats it in a nutshell. Thank you. Good evening directors and commissioners and she could intercept course a pleasure to be here and to work on the development of this program an extension of our already existing relationship with the Police Department with deputy chief redmond tenant lena and sgt. Krueger about the privilege of working with sgt. Krueger with many years at this point. So as im sure you are aware this program was an initiative of the Mayors Office was also a recommendation of the reenvisioning the jail workgroup that occurred. This team will sit under the conference of crisis under the direction of Stephanie Felder. You included three clinical psychologist and to Behavioral Health clinicians that will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This is based on eight respond or model that utilizes the combined expertise of an officer and a Mental Health clinician to address the crisis and support linkage to ongoing care. The goal of this program of course is to support Law Enforcement and crisis situations with her sis is back to Behavioral Health components and also for us to further support the efforts of the crisis intervention training any specialized training thats needed by Police Officers. As lieut. Molina has already discussed, our role on the scene will be to report to
