Inspector general wylie will give a report on q1 for the office of the Inspector General. Good afternoon everyone. Afternoon. Afternoon. So in my report, some of it may overlap with the last meeting because i think weve had some members who didnt have the benefit of hearing the last presentation. So in giving you a summary of where the igs office is to date, beginning, of course, on january 8th, 2024, i personally went through some of the core Training Classes with the academy class. With the Sheriffs Department, and also so, well, went through some of those classes, particularly, the classes that involved some use of force, i thought the instruction was very well done from my observations. And i came away impressed with what i saw, we also took a tour of, one of the jail, the downtown jail, that was very educational in terms of just seeing all of the challenges that, the Deputy Sheriffs are having to deal with on a daily basis. And we also went through onboarding with the department of Police Accountability and i want to say right from, right up front that from the day i arrived, the support that i personally have received and that the office of the Inspector General has received from the department of Police Accountability has been tremendous, at all levels of their staff and the support, i also want to thank the staff that is currently working directly with the office of the Inspector General, starting with dan lujan, who is just a as we all know, hes tremendous, and anytime i need anything, i can send dan an email and it gets done, but it gets it gets done correctly every single time. And then, of course, marshal kind, who is kind of my right hand man, i got to tell you, you know, ive been a lawyer for 34 years now. He is one of the most impressive lawyers that ive dealt with in my 34 years, just a tremendous asset. So moving on , now that ive given everyone their accolades, we did two budget presentations. One on january 24th and one on february 14th, public presentatio of our budget, we exciting news is we launched the oig website, and its a website that, of course, is under development, but we are at least out there in on the net giving people access to the oig office, it has links to resources and information, including filing a complaint and we also have a complaint portal on our current website. But we also established, a mission statement, a value statement and vision statements, for the website, we launched. And this is very exciting. Because at the point we launched our new Case Management system, we had only been in operation for 90 days. And so it is a tremendous accomplishment for us to roll out a new, oig Case Management system, and id say the major its a major system that optimizes the departments ability to manage and track the work, analyze and report on data, because i think the to me, to be an effective agency, you have to be a data driven agency. It is it is the data that is going to tell us what is really happening. And so i think that the, the, the system that has been rolled out is, is just, its going to be of tremendous value to the citizens of the city and county of San Francisco. And more importantly, it has a complaint portal. And one of the things that i felt it was important in coming on as the Inspector General is, i think, in order to have the kind of accountability that we want to have in the community, you have to have a system that gives people access. And one of the things that this portal does is it gives, the community access. If they have any complaints. And, and to the point where they just have to have Internet Access in order to make a complaint. And i dont know, in our current society, if you get better access than that, so were very, very happy to see that. And more importantly, it only costs approximately 60,000. And, you know, when you really look at these Case Management systems, ive seen Case Management systems that have cost millions of dollars and have taken years to develop and get up and running. And so i think for us to accomplish this with, 60,000 has been in a, a tremendous accomplishment. It we also launched, as i said, the oig online complaint system. And we also have with a joint landing page so that if you go to the landing page, it has, these symbols of the department of Police Accountability and the symbols of the oig so that you can go if you want to make a complaint against the anybody in the Sheriffs Department, you can go to the oig, symbols, click on it and it takes you directly to our website, which is very easy to operate, we also well, first, i want to thank supervisor walton, on march 21st, supervisor walton invited us to give a, orientation of the igs office and where weve been up to this point to the office of audit and to the audit and oversight committee, the board of supervisors, government audit and oversight committee, we were able to present, very similar to the information im presenting now to that committee of the board of supervisors. And, i also want to thank president su, who was at that meeting and, after i made the presentation, miss su went to the, podium and gave very supportive, comments for the igs office. And, president su, we appreciate that, those comments. So after providing what we provided the gao with a overview of our work, and i came away from that meeting feeling that all four members of the board of supervisors, after hearing that, presentation, i feel like they were very, very supportive of, seeing supporting funding of the oig office because at the end of the day, that is that continues to be our number one priority, because i think in order for the Inspector Generals office to be successful, we have to be properly funded. And we think that the proposals that we presented to the mayors Budget Committee are very, very reasonable. And as i as ive said, on previous occasions, the strategy is to phase in the igs office and understanding that were in, unusual circumstances with the current city and county budget in that, everyone is looking at deficits and San Francisco is no exception. So we understood that, which is why we adopted the strategy of a phased in, igs office. And so, as i say, i think the proposals that weve made are, are very, very reasonable. And i think that theres a lot of support out there. Of from different entities that agree with us. We also launched our oig newsletter and will be launching our second newsletter, i believe, next week. Were going to launch the second newsletter, weve heard from some of the people that have viewed the newsletter and gotten very, very positive responses, and its not a newsletter thats really extensive in terms of volume, but i think the quality and the substance of what we have to say, i think has been very well received. We have set up a new office within the offices of the department of Police Accountability. And what were very thrilled about is we have workstations set up and, i mean, we have an office thats thats ready to go, and all we need is the funding to hire people and on board, staff. So that we can get up and rolling. And ill just end by, i think public appearances by the Inspector General and our office are very important in terms of, making the public aware that we exist, for one. But also, the value that we bring to the city and county of San Francisco. And weve since the beginning of march 8th, we celebrated the black. I was the keynote speaker, down in san jose, which i think theres an acknowledgment of the position thats been created and i was asked to be a keynote, give the keynote speech for the black History Month program in february. By the city of san jose and the Silicon Valley naacp, ive also, i was ive been a panelist on well, i was honored to be a panelist, and asked to speak as legends of the of the black bar. So they brought in, top African American attorneys, with some level of accomplishment and, we had a Panel Discussion on, what have been some of the keys to our success and, and really, it was a it was an opportunity to talk to younger lawyers that are upcoming and share our experiences with them and hope that we could be of some value as they try to navigate their careers. So i think, programs like that are very important, we also participated in the Lunar New Year parade, we want to thank the Sheriffs Department for allowing the igs office to walk the parade route with the Sheriffs Department. It was a lot of fun. And, it was, you know, i walked for many years. I watched the new york, may day parade and never had really been to a parade. And i was like, stunned, i it was more people than i had seen at any event other than a sporting event. So it was it was a great time and it was a Good Opportunity to interact with the citizens of the city and county of San Francisco. So we want to thank the Sheriffs Department for that opportunity. Weve also participated in the Sheriffs Department womens because this this past month was womens History Month, and the Sheriffs Department put on a fabulous womens History Program and brought in women of leadership from around the country. And i was able to talk well, i was able to sit in on some of the sessions and just came away very impressed with the panelists, the quality of the panelists. And, and just listening to some of the challenges that women have had to overcome and, and continue to fight those struggles and so i thought the program was very, very well done. We also attended the myself and marshal kane and president sue attended the Asian AmericanBar Association gala, and it was it was another opportunity to, to, have a lot of contact with the Asian Community and make them aware of the, of our office and, and just it was a lot of fun because there was a lot of good people there. We were also seated at the table with us attorney izzy ramsey. And so it was just it was a great event. And i think that we have to continue to do those kinds of events. And im going to end by by, we also think its important to meet with the leadership of the sheriffs rank and file. And we i had a recent meeting with kim lamba, the president of the sf deputies association. I thought we had a very, very positive meeting, in terms of our discussions and kind of what our role is as the ig and how we can Work Together to really make the San FranciscoSheriffs Department one of the best in the country. And so i think that we were all on the same page. And then finally, i participated with dreamkeepers, weve allowed some members of dreamkeepers to utilize some of our office space , and i just happen to be walking down the hall one day, and i saw this young man. I hadnt seen him, so i introduced myself to him and it turned out that he was one of the leaders of the dreamkeepers program, and so i suggested, well, im the new ig. Id love to participate, in your next meeting. So he set it up. And so i was able to, speak to the members of the dreamkeepers, at their community meeting, that next wednesday and had a great discussion with them, many of them were unaware of the igs office, and, we had like i said, we had a great discussion about the services that we bring and making them aware of us. And i think that any the more and more we continue to do that, i think the more visible the igs office will will become. And i think its important for the communities of the bayview, hunters point, in the mission district. I think its important for those communities to know that we exist and that the services that we that are available to them from the igs office. So with that, thats my latest report. Thank you. We have any questions or comments . I do. Vice president karen, hi, how are you . Thank you so much for your presentation. I had a couple comments and i just a follow up question, so i did want to say i had an opportunity to review the Case Management software when it was in beta form. And i have to say, its incredibly impressive, you know, and i think that its really exciting that were going to be able to have that now. Its about the budget and getting a data analyst to be able to maximize the use. Yes. Of all of the work that got put into that Case Management. And so im really excited to see all the information and the patterns will be able to identify and, you know, be able to develop forward thinking solutions. Right. You know, so it really excited about that. I, i understand that the i really think the website looks amazing and im so happy that it is Internet Accessible. Have we i think this was an issue we had discussed like, you know, a pie in the sky. Has there been any thought moving forward at this stage, or, you know, in the future about having selfhelp kiosks where people can have access that dont have access, whether thats in the Public Library or in the selfhelp sections of the superior courts here, yeah. Well, the, the, the main discussion that weve discussed is having a kiosk in the visiting area of the county jail, because, you know, those are generally the folks that, you know, are more likely to have a complaint. And so we think that thats a, a location that, that weve had discussions and, and well have further discussions with sheriff miyamoto, about putting a kiosk in that area because, you know, there are times where individuals who may be in custody and may be disinclined to make a complaint. And, and if they have a complaint, they might be more willing to step forward with any complaints they may have by if theres a kiosk in the visiting room, and after they make their complaint, they can go home instead of into a jail cell. So i think i think theres some thought, because for us, from our perspective, its really given the Public Access and increasing the access , and so that that has been the thought and, and again, we didnt really think about a library because we, we just think that, you know, for the purposes of the kiosk, for our purposes, its really for if anybody has issues with the Sheriffs Department. And so thats probably a, you know, well, a consideration, a consideration. But i mean, actually when you think about it, they the a Library Might be less intimidating than, than even the visiting room of, of the, of the jail. So its something to think about. Okay, so i also went to the 30 by 30, womens leadership. Yes, event and the panel that i went to was absolutely amazing. It was so powerful and so strong. I have to tell folks, i actually spoke at the first one, last year, which was a great honor. And those kinds of events, i have to say, it was so. Well put together and it was just so empowering and such a joyous event that you know, as somebody that has gone to so many conferences and done leadership trainings and do all those things, its wonderful to go into that space and feel, you know, like just supported and educated, uplifted, joyful, inspired, to come out of those spaces. So i have to thank the sheriff and everyone and assistant chief carter, who just did a fantastic job. Yeah, i its wonderful to hear that you were there also. I know there was a kind of a it was a large crowd. Yeah. And i went after i was able to get some work done. So im very, very happy to hear that you also participated. Last question. Only question really is. Well, i guess not. Youve been here now a couple of months, right . Yes other than budget. Right. Because we know budget is crucial. What are some of the challenges that you have seen and what are some potential solutions that youre looking at at this s
