Chief, yeah.

Thank you, Sergeant.

Good evening, Commissioner President Clay, Commission Vice President Benedicto, fellow commissioners, executive uh director Henderson, and members of the general public.

At the meeting on November 5th, I mentioned that there was a 104% increase in robberies occurring citywide for the week ending November 2nd.

47 incidents compared to 23 the previous week.

This week robberies are trending down 54% from the previous week, with overall year-to-date robberies being down 23%.

I asked our investigations division, specifically Deputy Chief Mark M to review the trend to determine what occurred and what was what can be done to address the uptick.

They did an analysis over the past several months actually, and there was an uptick in what they call chain snatch robberies, which is a forceful uh stealing of gold chains and other jewelry.

Since August 1st, there have been 28 of these incidents, 11 of which occurred in the month of October.

The district with the most incidents was mission station or mission district, which had 11 incidents or 39% of this crime.

Uh then Ingleside Station had eight incidents, 29%.

During these incidents, uh the suspects had an average age of between 16 and 22 years old.

They were armed in eight of these incidents, seven with a gun, one with a knife.

As a result of investigations, there have been nine arrests of suspects that were involved in these incidents.

Several investigative units, including the real-time investigation center, special investigations, citywide plain clothes, C VRT, and robbery are working together to develop a proactive strategy to address this trend.

So the trend has been noted, and I have confidence that an investigation's team will make progress in finding and apprehending those suspects.

Okay, weekly crime trends.

Uh, this is for the week ending November 9th this year.

Overall, overall part one crimes are down 26% year to date.

Total violent crimes are down 17%.

There are 23 homicides this year, representing a 20%, 23% decrease.

Gun violence is down 14%.

Rapes are down 15% year to date, assaults for the year down 13% year to date, robberies are down 23%, robberies using a firearm are have declined by 44%.

Human trafficking incidents are up a hundred and twenty percent.

Total property crime is down 27%, burglaries are down 28%, larceny theft, which includes vehicle burglaries are down 22% overall, with a decrease of 43% of 43% decrease in the year of 2024.

So that's another 22% decrease.

Okay, significant incidents that I want to speak to.

There was an officer involved shooting on November 9th at 4 27 p.m.

at Market and O'Fell Street in the tender lane.

The incident is being investigated by the San Francisco District Attorney's Office, the San Francisco Police Department Investigative Services Detail, or ISD, the San Francisco Police Department Internal Affairs Division, IAD, and the Department of Police Accountability.

As part of our commitment to transparency and accountability, a town hall meeting regarding this officer-involved shooting is scheduled for November 18th at 3 p.m.

A press notification will be issued advising the public of this event, and all related materials will be posted to our website following the town hall.

So I won't speak to the event until the public uh town hall meeting.

So it was one reported homicide incident this week on actually.

Um, it was actually reported on September 13th.

All victims were transported for treatment.

Two of the robberies involved a brandishing of a knife, and then there was an attempted robbery involving the threat of a firearm.

However, one was not seen or located.

Two subjects matching the descriptions or with descriptions were seen in the area of front in Jackson.

Officers lost sight of the two, but noted the subjects were now leaving on a white electric bicycle.

Later determined to be stolen on Front Street.

Officers conducted surveillance on the two subjects.

A witness reported a subject uh threatened to pull a gun or threatened to use a gun on him at Davis and Pacific Avenue.

Uh the officers obtained additional suspect descriptions on the 200 block of Jackson Street.

The subjects fled again on foot, but were ultimately detained by the officers.

Code shows were conducted and the subjects were positively identified.

The e-bike was identified as stolen in front of 170 Pacific Avenue.

Line item four, DPA director's report.

Discussion, a report on recent DPA activities and announcements.

Executive Director Henderson.

Thank you.

Good evening.

Uh our intake volume uh has continued growing this week.

It's at a this is compared to 2024.

This week we are at a 22% increase.

It's hovering between 20 and 22.

This week it's at about 22% increase for, and it's been at that level for a few months now.

The most time common complaint this week involved allegations for officers speaking or behaving inappropriately.

And the majority of our recent complaints have involved officers' communications.

Again, these are the allegations.

We're still working hard to maintain our stable caseload to remain 100% in compliance with our 3304 deadlines.

As of Friday, November 7th, there are 11 cases whose investigations uh have gone over 270 days.

And for the record, all of those cases are told cases.

We have a few projects that I just want to bring back to the commission's attention.

Uh the first being uh the use of force audit, which is being finalized now and will be sent to SFPD for comment this week in the next 48 hours.

And we've been in constant communication with the department, so they shall have they'll have that draft uh before the end of this week.

Uh our policy director has been conducting a review of the protest policies uh and with feedback from the department.

Uh we're requesting a revised scope for DGO 8.10 focusing on the facilitation of peaceful protest rather than only investigations of people engaged from the First Amendment.

So it's an expansion of that as well.

We've reached out to SFD uh and now we're just waiting for designated subject matter to begin discussing the next steps uh and scope.

What we are requesting from the commission is to assign uh policy liaison just to keep the commission involved with the process as we're moving along, similar to like how we've done with the audits as well.

We just want to make sure that everyone knows what we're doing and how we're doing it so we can discuss the details of our proposal uh and the emerging policy issues as they evolve.

Uh on our uh report reenvisioning process, we are so far we've digitized now in this process 800,000 uh pages of the estimated 2.8 million pages of DPA cases.

Again, this is the modernization process for our older records that have existed that we're uh obligated to discover and share, but having them digital will make that process easier, and I'll keep you updated on that project as we go along.

Uh currently here in the audience with us is senior investigator Brent Bajan in case issues come up uh during tonight's commission where DPA can be helpful.

Uh we can be reached if folks want to reach out to us directly at sfgov.org forward slash DPA, and the phone number is 415 241 7711.

Uh, and that concludes my report for the week.

Director, is there going to be a 2024 annual report?

Absolutely.

Okay.

I read the 2022 and 2023.

Yep.

I'll give you an estimate on it next week.

I'll check in and tell you where it is.

Anything from Commissioner Benedicto?

Thank you, President Clay.

Um, nothing significant uh in my report.

I just wanted to raise.

I know that originally uh tonight on the original uh the on the agenda was supposed to be an update on the the progress of SFPD and the recommendations for the uh stop audit.

I know there were some issues with the benchmark system that uh were causing that to be delayed.

I just want to express that I know we've had members of the communities, uh, including the League of Women Voters and the fifty organizations that were part of the prexops coalition sent letters about this topic, so I know there's a lot of interest in this.

I'm just hoping that the delay won't be too long, and that we can uh provide the community with um some advanced notice before it comes back on calendar.

That's all for me.
