We started with san jose. We met for many hours with san jose. They share with us some of the changes that they went through and i think both for san jose and for oakland, the commonality in that there was some outside force, some outside interest that cause changes to occur. Honestly for open it was at a Consent Decree. Which is expensive. I think for san jose was judge kordell. They start with rewriting all the general orders all of their general orders are current, uptodate and searchable on the san jose website. Then they started with the Data Collection. They traded and brought officers to the table and work with them on how could they in a very quick way, gather information for every single stop weather was a pedestrian stop or traffic stop in 90 seconds or less. So they would have a way of collecting all of the data on race, reason for the stop, location, whether the was search or anything retrieved from the search, all of that. They were in the process of just solidifying their rps with Technology Organizations that were going to assist them with that. After that, we went to open. Weve now to beatings with open. I think our meetings with oakland have been amazing. Even meeting with assistant chief paul figaro , the chief outlaw and their Technology Assistant sgt. And their Technology Assistant sgt. This is what weve learned from open. Oakland. I should start by saying before we met with oakland met with chief workshop guzik Consent Decree officer in charge of oakland. So, oakland is an interesting Police Department. I mean, most of us whenever well the riders for me to stand here today and tell you that this department is a department is a great model tells you how far that department has come and im here to tell you that i think cultural change within department is very difficult. It has toit takes a tremendous amount of work. I hope to share with you later, theyve just released their 2016 Strategic Plan. That plan talks about their mission to create a culture of selfexamination. In policing. That is an enormous shift from a warrior kind of mentality that was created when we as policymakers made it our business to start a war on crime im a war on drugs, and i think a lot of policing, please training, some of what you see today, is a carryover from those times. So, shifting from the warrior to the guardian, the partnerships with the community. This requires a cultural change. What oakland shared with us is the importance and san jose said exactly the same thing. You have to partner with professionals. Oakland has been the lucky to partner with Jennifer Eberhardt from stanford who has assisted them from the beginning in the development, not only of the Data Collection, but most important, the data analysis. The most most exciting thing we learned, and paul figaro took us into his office, where he showed us what is just about to be started. He had a dashboard with a can now take not only all of the data from the stops they had made over a number of years, but also thousands and thousands of hours of body camera footage emma because, recall, oakland has been using body cameras longer than anybody. That is all fit into a database they can analyze it instantaneously. For example, he showed us taken the name of one officer, he could, over time, see how many stops that officer had made, what was the race involved, the reason, was the Research Anything recovered from that search. Type into a Software Program is all the current and recent research on implicit bias and exquisite by so markers can be looked at. What is about to be released in april of this year by stanford and dr. Eberhardt is a study where they are hopefully creating an algorithm which can take all of this data, including all the body camera footage, and from that they can see and hear body language and words used, not unlike those Customer Service calls that you make where they say this is going to be recorded. That too is a Software Program that recognizes certain kinds of language that then triggers a supervisor to come into the call and listen. So the same kind of thing cannot be used so that you can go through thousands of hours of body camera footage in a matter of moments to look for ways in which this officer might b need more training. Or this squad could if this squad is making too many stops and nothing is being recovered in terms of the searches, that needs to be looked at. So, what is important in terms of oakland and san jose, they both say youve got to get someone like Jennifer Everhart involved in this process to assist you with the analysis. Outside analysis will assist you with your transparency and your accountability within a Police Department so they can help you with that analysis and you go back to training. They are also using with bias screening intervals of training. Its tied to Risk Management. Theres no point in collecting the data werent using the body camera footage, unless it can be tied to all of these other things like Risk Management and training. If you look at thisthis is again, referencing this report, we spend 50 hours nationally training a Police Officer in the use of firearms. We spent eight hours on deescalation. So, i think a shift in that. Oakland is talking about in their shooting range training they are not just training to see how accurate your shooting his, they want to measure how many situations you can encounter without ever using your gun. What is your ability to negotiate . What is your ability to deescalate . What is your ability to solve the problem without the use of force . So, we are in the middle of our work. We are not yet ready to issue a report. We only that a second meeting with oakland last week. So this is new information. I did send to supervisor cohen a short article written by paul figaro on these three levels of analysis of body camera footage, which i think you can share with everyone. That would be helpful and as soon as i get the okay from them that we can share the Strategic Plan with you. I think that would be something youd be interested in seeing. But this is not a small job. This is a big job. I think that if youre looking for quick fixes, those are grammy bandaid approaches. I think were very lucky that we have opened just across the bay. Theyre more than willing to help us. Certainly, our commander is part of our committee, has been completely and totally open to hearing everything that they have to say and know please bring it back to our department. So, must have questions, we expect we will have our subcommittee probably reach some conclusions within the next month or two and then we have to go to our board and then you can have our recommendations. Thank you for being with us today and for your presentation. I hope youll stick around a little bit. Well have questions at him. Next to her record to hear from ms. Joyce hicks, director for the office of citizen complaints. Good afternoon. What good morning. Supervisor don joyce hicks, director of the office of citizens complaints. Im going to drop was my prepared rocks because so much of what i wanted to say has already been said. By mr. s isler, by ms. Truong, i did provide you all with statistics from the office of citizen complaints on use of force applications, the percentage of use of force, allegations we receive on an annual basis in the number of allegations that we sustain. A large number of our findings are not sustained. Our standard for preponderance of evidence, but we believe with body camera footage and also with video camera footage that we are received we are able to make more definitive findings in the future, but what i would like to focus on policy recommendations that the office of citizen complaints has made throughout the years. Also, without stealing the thunder from the Police Department, whos also in attendance at the Police ExecutiveResearch Forum meeting, today meeting last week, to say that i was a civilian oversight practitioner in the room. However, there was an attorney from the department of justice there, christina lopez, who i know from my city of oakland days, as well as ron davis, who is the director of and many important recommendations are going to be coming out of that today meeting which was preceded by another meeting from which that first report came. We will be a final meeting on january 29, only Police Chiefs are invited to that meeting and out of that meeting will come a National Model on use of force. But what i will say, the highlight of the first meeting was the message to officers about sanctity of life. And how its not enough in line is to say to officers, be safe out there. But also, to preserve the sanctity of life. To look at deescalation models , to look at, as ms. Truong spoke about, the guardian as opposed to warrior. While still ensuring the safety of officers. To look at theto throw out the 21 foot rule about weapons. To look at a different model. A model that would look at tactical repositioning a euphemism for retreating instead of charging in. Of using shields as a part of the process, of using weapons other than a weapon of deadly force. If necessary. But what i took away from that meeting was something from the retired commissioner of the philadelphia Police Department. He said, in these situations, the most important tool and officer has are the officers years and the officers mouth. Also, what was really telling at that today hearing was hearing from the United Kingdom from scotland, most officers do not carry weapons but theyre dealing with individuals who havei should say most officers do not carry firearms. Theyre dealing with individuals who have machetes were nice. And have a tactically reposition, how they create teams. Or how they tried to deescalate. So, without more,i know the captain he was at the meeting we will talk more about. San franciscos plan i will talk about the policy recommendations of the opposite of city complaints made over the years. In addition to being an Investigative Agency our agency also makes policy recommendations to the Police Department to enhance the Police Departments relationship with the community while still ensuring officer safety and then i just want to show you all the police use of force in new york city, a recent report that came out of their office of Inspector General. Which is different than their civilian oversight Investigative Agency, ccr be. It was written by philipfairly new Inspector General and he makes many recommendations on use of force. So i think this would be an important tool to consider as well. But in going over that 2012 policy recommendation, regarding use of force, one of the recommendations we made was in his review of officer involved shootings by requiring the Police AcademiesTraining Division to provide a written training analysis of each officer involved shooting that includes for reviewincluded for review by the firearms discharge review board. Im sorry you have a copy you can share with us of the recommendations . I do not unfortunately, supervisors. Just because of the passive time i was not able to provide that. These are recommendations in our annual report but ill make sure that the supervisors received it. Thank you. Could you repeat the first one, please . Yes i will. And ill read it were slow. To enhance the review of officer involved shooting by requiring the Police AcademiesTraining Division to provide a written training analysis of each officer involved shooting. That is included for review ive got firearms discharge review board. The firearms discharge review board is that internal to the policewoman . That is the police robin board that determines whether discharge of a weapon is in or out of policy. It can range all the way from a discharge without hitting anything up to and officer involved shooting that results in a fatality. But board is comprised of command and staff from the Police Department, as well as to civilian representatives who do not have a speedo. Im one of the civilian representatives and a member of the Police Commission is the other civilian representative. A second recommendations we made is requiring the department Training Division to develop a training video and written material to address tactical responses to Mental Health crisis calls involving individuals with a bladed weapon. The third use of force recommendation we made in 2012 was developed written officer involved shooting procedures for the department these on to the family of the individual shots. And also to the community. These are recommendations . These are recommendations and the Police Department can address have it implemented can you tell us have any these recommendations been implemented . In part, not in whole. , you recommendations are you going to read off to estimate . Im butchering off maybe five more. To enhance the procedure for obtaining the assistance of a bilingual officer or other interpreter of officer involved shootings and other Critical Incidents. In 2013, we made six recommendations on use of force and officer involved shooting. The first gen. Order 3. 10, to include the officer in charge of the department Training Division as an advisory member of the firearms discharge review board. Now, while some of our recommendations have been addressed through department bulletins, department bulletins are not permanent. They only exist for two years west department gen. Orders are permanent. Second, department gen. Order 3. 10 to include finding categories including training failure, policy failure, supervision failure, tactical debrief administrative disapproval. Number three, require a sergeant or officer of higher rank to respond to any call involving an armed suspect. What i learned at the meeting was that when a supervisor arrives at a Critical Incident be shooting are reduced by 80 . If the supervisor is there to deescalate. Develop a protocol with the department of Emergency Management so that dispatchers merely notify a sergeant or officer of higher rank and the dispatcher receives a call regarding an armed suspect. I should say armed subject. For, developed with the questions that dispatchers will ask to determine whether the call involves an individual with a Mental Illness and obtain Key Information about the individuals Mental Illness. Number five, revise the general order 6. 14, 8. 02, 8. 01 to establish written protocols for the permits crisis intervention team. Number six, implement department 2011 obligation to design a Data Collection system to review and evaluate Mental Health crisis calls in the promise response to such incidents. I just also want to briefly refer this committee to the office of citizen complaints Third Quarter report where we provided responses to president obamas task force on 21stcentury policing. We concluded that with regard to Data Collection, that the department that should have a more about Data Collection program, that use of force incidents are posted on its website. That it be available monthly. And that forms be developed, electronic forms be developed to implement this should currently be occ receives the use of force report but their hand written. That thesecondly, that the department we examine policy training and evaluation of force incident in light of the California Supreme Court decision hayes versus san diego. Where the court ruled under california law, but tactical conduct and decisions preceding in officers use of deadly force a relevant considerations in determining whether the use of force was reasonable. And that in all cases involving the use of deadly force sfpd baldly tactical conduct and decisions preceding in officers use of deadly force. In the analysis be included in the evaluation of the incident. We suggest that sfpd use its devices use of force policy and training to include consideration of tactical conduct and decisions preceding in officers use of deadly force. A final recommendation that we made was that the department meet quarter. The policewoman meet quarterly with my office to identify training policy and procedural recommendations arising from disciplinary cases. That, and brief concludes my remarks. Do also the recommendation that the Police Department approve your recommendations . Well our accommodations go to Police Commission. The Police Commission ultimately determines what the Police Department policy will be. It is the Police Commission that adopt the
