My name is a john crews no obligation do answer questions do you have a plan to calendar the neutrality to sb 12 senator lenos on the record transparency. Okay. Let me go on i strongly encourage to do that the commissioner Vice President turman speaking in support that have bill we are doing to inform our Public Confidence and the theme in the mayor and the achieve is transparent all through the 21st Century Task Force support that is what this bill provides provides transparency over records that exist as Public Records and most of the rest of the country a more expansive bill that was tried and supported by this commission unanimously if youre saying to the public were going to reform those policies the use of force transformational policy if you, you want the public to building your enforcing those policies you should support the transparency of the record if you have nothing to hide take a position in transparent otherwise our Reform Efforts well be perceived and something to heidi ask you to take the load of bill before that time even he said this was crazy around the misconduct overseeing records should be public a poll out the Research Center published in the l. A. Times 80 percent of the California Public building those records should be public so you have a choices to make are you going to be on the side of transparency and accountability or are you going to be on the side of sxrety the da has chosen sides that will violate the office of private were talking about Public Police officers do in public to members of the public with authorities begin to them by the public with Public Resources if theres a losses to the public the public pays for it everything has to be secret thats nonsense in most states those have 2 to 3 adverse to public communicates if you want your reforms your working hard i know how hard youre working i cant imagine but if you want to say to the public not only trust us well show you thats how you earn trust not by asking for it i hope you put that on the calendar and chief suhr lead. Thank you. Next speaker. Good evening and welcome. Good evening, commissioners my name is david the first thing first thing i want to do is hand this to you guys. It is an article from the bayview news about a particular San FranciscoPolice Officer while a 0 Police Officer in south San Francisco killed a 15yearold kid killed a 15yearold kid and was substantially hiring by sfpd how on earth did e did that happen what makes the decision to hire a killer cop and put him on the streets of San Francisco this officer is notorious sued by the aclu and had a lot of incidents of police brutality, one minor one just recently during the super bowl so thats my question and im putting you on notice that the officer is a bad apple if we find this out given the Police Officers bifurcating surl your hiring staff can thought this out and reject those kinds of officers from department that have already killed synonym and is department of justice i was there and director hicks i kptd 60 people of which at least 2 3rds maybe 40 were from the justice for mario Woods Commission so whatever the mayor thinks hes doing in terms of bringing the doj for this basically, were calling it the b team not the people that do the serious investigations the public is not engaged and especially singles the you know the first session was basically two bring in bayview residents it is a failing move the final thing id like to ask you will the public have the opportunity as required by law to comment on the agenda items when they come out we need to tighten up the way we run the Police Commission so the public had an opportunity to speak to you guys when you know when we it is die thank you. Sir theres a Deputy Director from the office of citizens complaints and if you have very specific allegations he can help you i do not personally on breaking and entering to your attention. Hearing and seeing none, oh, im sorry, sir no, no, no problem. Good evening and welcome. Thank you, again, for all youre trying to do and hope we can see some improvements last time i was here there was a discussion i brought up some targets and there was a question i think from wanting to chief and the chief respond using the fact of the matter my issue was embedded the blackness when were talking about the fact of the matter i tried to make that it really results in the same thing were talking about nonwhite images so if their gray spur gray light glare whatever the issue is there is a memory muscle memory parcel that includes the shape, size, and color. Especially nonwhite and i ask you to notice when there are white tatters marketed they look like humans their facial expressions and the mood and even try to project the density if youre looking at replacing the fact of the matter explore this ask the officers and the chief why not shoot for the legs the answer is we dont train for the legs but the torso and last week, a picture youre sitting there what we see is from here up there are taerthsdz being sold it include legs there are tax o altercates one can be rewarded for shooting another legs and tatters being sold it include apparent ethnic images im not here advocating more shooting only to say since youre going to shoot and train to shoot explore the absence you know the issue of the property gained we sent folks to vietnam dehumanizing the worldclass the other the other so those images depict the other in many ways i would hope youll think about exploring some options that humanize the human process i handed out something i think okay. 30 seconds. You have 30 seconds. The ways to other than say shoot dont shoot not just shoot and take a few seconds and give thoughtful consideration thats the language many more options and training i spoke to the training captain to help High School Graduates maybe on the police force to understand there are ways to engage so not the bye in their shoot dont shoot ill be happy to to share were concerned about Police Officers that have mental issuesism. Thank you, sir any Public Comment on this item . Come on up. Good evening and welcome. My name is bob i think that was commissioner hwang who brought up concerning the tasers with the separation of the reform into the package and having it be a separate issue a lot of people last time that spoke about that or to with they were against having tasers introduced i spoke about the reality of whoops what happened with mario woods tasers were not necessary i brought up the point that under the conditions hed been hit 3 times with the beanbag at one and 50 mileperhour and blind with pepper that is a all a policeman had to do take out their night stick and hit him hes not a threaten tasers are not the answer and about 6 hundred killings of people through tasers i think over the last 10 years throughout the United States so thats my hope that people will sort of respect all the people that showed up last time and i have to say that the citizens of the San Francisco have three or four times said they dont want tasers so i respect that. Thank you. Next speaker. Good evening and welcome. Thank you good evening, Commissioners Police chief and members of the public im the outreach for the party of San Francisco id like to thank the commission for forwarding to the board of supervisors your recommendation that the office of citizens complaints review all Police Shooting incident this is a good accountability measure i notice i dont know if there is another item regarding the patrol special i guess a couple of Police Officers regarding networking with the beats id like to remind the commission the patrol has tried to have new officers approved from the Police Department and sat on the applications and stone walled the ability of new potrero special officers to get the proper approvals to start their jobs so i think that you know what youre seeing the case of patrol officers not working their beats is directly recommended to that i also want to remind you of a serious conflict of interest of having chief suhr sitting here on the panel with you because as a sfpd hes the head the organizations your supposed to have oversight it is inappropriate for the you know the head of the agency being on the job to be on the panel of the over serge especially the closed session where the public is not permitted the body being organizing shouldnt be the closed session and having the office of citizens complaints representative it appropriate that is an oversight body as the Planning Commission mr. Johnson having did sfpd i feel it is inappropriate and also the officers that come before the commission not specifically requested we the commission should not be in uniform and not on the taxation payers dime finally echo what was said about the tasers and the public eminent opposition to them mario woods killing didnt change that if anything that reenforces the problem with having Police Officers having regular recourse of and the tasers are not for people thank you. Is there any additional Public Comment . Public comment is closed. 3 h chiefs report and discussion this item to allow the police chief to report on recent Police Department activities social and media policy and presentation of the limited English Proficiency not to my knowledge report. Commissioner director hicks and members of the public ill be brief i know we have an lapd presentation and members of the public here to speak only that our social media draft is finished and we are now entering into the help within thirty days to be able to present that draft to the commission for your consideration and vote and as well our c i p draft is finished between 35 to 40 days that policy comes before you for a vote a couple of announcements we met with both commissioner charles the cochair of the president s 21st Century Task Force and berry arrested if scotland and tom a form achieve o chief from the department out of battling for the reengineering the use of force and the department of justice that the physical training and defensive tactical staff and commissions all the Police Officers from the rank of lieutenant that is pretty much the same presentation we put together that was heard by the chief in late january good conversations all about the draft use of force policies that is before this commission and considered by the working groups i think will get us to a better place we had a new academy with cadets and thank benioff for his dollars for a 3 year portion that pays for half of the peoples salary we building we have room for 15 more applications we encourage anyone that is carrying a minimum of 12 units preferably 18 to 24yearold want a job while theyre going to school especially a career in Public Safety. How much is the hourly rate i dont know off the top of my head but i think that 19 or 20. Thats good for school how can people apply and go to the police sfgov and look for cadets also our captain was certified 12 people were notified those will be fiscal a week from saturday 11 are will be new captains the 12 is deputy chief chaplain that accepts that as the survival service ensue will remain with the standards and pay with that, president s report ill ask for lieutenant danger fields or Sergeant King to make the lapd presentation. Chief can i ask you one question that would be helpful for the commission to get a presentation on some of the material that we you know we were able to benefit director joyce hicks and myself at some point it that would be helpful if someone can just walk us through the key parts weve read the engineering and use of force and given the policy the commission has to some decisions that would be great for everything to be as informed as possible is that possible for us to do. Sure i can do it myself having run through that but certainly i can find out if any of those panel will be back i know they all left assistant chief higgins had to get back to scotland it was really a flight out here to do that and chuck they went to so but anyway yeah. Well talk about that what the mix is it would be good okay lieutenant danger field. Lapd from 2015 and then our future where were going interest we have a total of three hundred and 26 bilingual members up 200 and 56 in 2014 most in spanish one 98 you guys have a copy of it as well from the language contact of 4 thousand plus contacts through the Language Line our lapd clients majority were in spanish up from 20142015 and lieutenant can i stop you did we start off on what lapd is who is watching are familiar. The limited English Proficient persons people that dont speak english as their first language or have difficulty in understanding the finer point and need to do daily operations boutique things under the circumstances and need our assistance those are the people were trying to service that is the basic lapd there were approximately 20 open cases through occ some were resolved and 3 sustained were not sustained and then 12 cases are still pending. There were several new department bulletins regarding the lapd and tracking was a major thing to track the people we actually serviced and one of the bulletins required comments being put in to the Computer System by the officer or the dispatcher under the comma and saying which language and identifying who the officer was and the psa or the languages on one person. By using the characteristic comma retriefr it by researching that there are issues were working on from the dispatcher put the dispatcher comment sometimes, it didnt show were working on the issues but the policy is in place and theyre trying to retrain the xaefrnz to make sure they know to use the k comma and not the dispatch comma. Another major point with the pocket cards so the officers can know step by step to use the Language Line it tells them step by step the numbers to use and dealing with training of those officers to make sure they know when theyre using the Language Line if things are not going appropriately that by looking at the person they
