Thanks.

One nation on the God and the visible with liberty and justice all.

President Clay, like to take role.

Yes, please.

Commissioner Techie.

Yeah.

Commissioner Scott.

Here.

Commissioner Leong.

President.

Commissioner Yi is excused.

Commissioner Alliance is in route.

Vice President Benedicto.

President Clay, you have a quorum also with us tonight.

Our Chief Liu from the San Francisco Police Department, Executive Director Henderson from the Department of Police Accountability.

All right.

Thank you, Sergeant.

Ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to our March 18th meeting.

At this time we will begin, Sergeant.

Our first item on the agenda.

Line item one, weekly officer recognition certificate.

Presentation of an officer who has gone above and beyond in the performance of their duties.

Officer Alex Fayo, star number 1333 from Terra Bell Station.

Good afternoon.

I'm Lieutenant Ulam Obat at Terrawell Police Station.

I am with uh Sergeant Barry Marshall and Officer Alex Fayo.

Um we'll be presenting the certificate to him.

Um actually was a police officer with the South San Francisco Police Department and the lateral to our department approximately two years ago.

Uh he was at Central Station and currently at Terrible on our swing shift.

Um this event was brought to our attention by uh Lieutenant Morales, who was uh our typically our night captain, excuse me, uh my vision here.

Uh Officer Faio is known to perform exemplary uh the ability to work with other members of our station.

Um he has an infectious enthusiasm for his job and the career he has chosen.

This particular incident involves a juvenile who escaped from the Edward Edgewood home uh in our district.

Uh and uh this person was uh attempting to take their own life.

Uh they jumped into a lake, and Officer Faio uh and several other members of our station went into um help and assist and get her out of the water.

Uh Alex Faio uh through his courageous excuse me, courageous and teamwork and uh unwavering dedication uh was able to uh assist the lady uh the young woman out of the water, and uh so for that reason uh Alex Fayo was selected uh as uh the officer for Terrible Station.

So uh here is uh Officer Alex Faio any questions or comments?

Would you like to say a few words?

I just want to say thank you.

Well, thank you.

Thank you for your service, uh Officer Faio.

Thanks, sir.

A great job well done.

Thank you so much for everything.

Commissioner Benedicto.

Thank you so much, President Clay.

Congratulations, officer, and thank you, uh Lieutenant and the Teravel team for bringing this incident to our attention.

I think it's always important to remember that uh that our officers are really the first responders of last resort and end up handling all kinds of different uh situations, including the one like here today, and the the level of impact that you're able to have in and saving a young person's life uh and and but maybe potentially setting it on a totally different course.

I think is is so important, and I think it's so important for all our officers and for really everyone in the public to recognize the tremendous impact that our officers can have on people's lives, and I thank you for your service and for having this impact today.

Congratulations.

Thank you, sir.

Commissioner Teckey.

Thank you, President Clay.

Office when I was speaking to the officer just a few minutes ago, he was so humble.

He really didn't want to be here and recognized for his work that he did.

But congratulations.

And it speaks a volume of you of you as a person because you are so humble about what you did, but I appreciate everything that you are doing for the city.

Thank you.

Thank you, ma'am.

Commissioner Leong.

Thank you, President Clay.

Just wanted to echo what Vice President Benedicto and Commissioner Tacchi just said.

Thank you so much for your work.

Um I think uh oftentimes the good that police officers do aren't really appreciated or recognized, and this is obviously a life-changing experience for both you and for the young woman you rescued.

And also thank you for coming over from South City.

They're lost.

Thank you, sir.

Commissioner Scott.

Congratulations, and thank you for your service.

Oftentimes, um, I know officers feel like they're not appreciated, but you are appreciated for your dedicated services and all that you bring with violence prevention and you know, saving lives in our in our city.

Um it is commendable.

We appreciate you.

We thank you for your services.

Congratulations and continue the great work that you are doing.

It is acknowledged and it is appreciated.

So thank you.

Thank you, ma'am.

Chief Liu.

Officer Faio just want to commend you for your outstanding bravery and courage, and thank you for your commitment to public safety for the community.

Uh big thanks to you.

And then I also want to thank uh Lieutenant Obot and uh Sergeant Marshall for supporting officers.

Thanks for bringing them out.

Thanks, Chief.

If you would like to make public comment, please approach the podium.

Good evening to everyone.

I'm a doctor.

I've taken care of countless people, including many police officers.

And I'm just here, two things I want to remember.

One, we have to remember some concepts do no harm, and the second thing we have to remember is choices have consequences.

And on that note, I'm calling here not as a physician, but as a resident.

Um, which is uh on the end of the tender line, and unfortunately, we are still seeing a unacceptable number of people who have uh drug dependency issues.

And um obviously it's multi-factorial who needs to help them, but laws still need to be enforced.

It's a safety, major safety issue.

On my block alone, and one block over, we have I caught I collected over from the city.

We have over 30,000, 30,000 requests to the city for just two blocks.

I started talking with with Mayor Lee about this many years ago.

But if the city is not able to get control of the drug activity on two blocks, which are about 400 feet long, this is a major concern.

And so I'd really appreciate it if someone could look into it.

I've tried to make an appointment just to speak with with um the captain.

Um I keep contacting.

I mean, no harm, but we really could appreciate your help and anything you can do to help us.

I think it's multifactorial.

We need both law enforcement.

There are many laws on the books, and I've spoken with people in HSOC, and they feel that HSOC, the people in the H SOC say that these people they will not leave until they they want you know they want more drugs.

But we've really had it.

It's been too much harm.

So anyone who wants to help, we'd appreciate it.

I'd be willing to meet within you and be an advocate.

But I don't feel safe.

I've been attacked, and other people in our neighborhood have been attacked, and we need your help now, not tomorrow.

Thank you kindly.

Thank you.

Thank you all.

Good evening.

I like to use the overhead.

I'm here concerning my son Arboria Bracassa, who was murdered.

August 14, 2006.

Um here's another year, another year that's getting ready to pass again with no justice for my son.

Um his birthday is coming up on April 6th.

I talked about that last time I was here.

So that's going to be another six significant thing that's gonna bother me this year.

And you know, we talk about the birthdays and the anniversaries.

They're the hardest things throughout the year.

I can deal with other things, but the birthdays and anniversaries literally bother me.

Um I bring pictures of we talked about unsolved homicides.

I was just at Sam Bruno jail today with Delia to speak to the prisoners.

But there was a fight breakout there.

So I didn't get to speak.

So I will be going back on April 8th after my birth son's birthday to talk to him about the crime that they're committed and the crime that causes that that uh the rippling effect.

This is what I'm gonna show them and let them see not only do they shut shoot people, but they run and they don't see the after-effect at the of what they left.

And they need to know that maybe they'll stop shooting people and killing people because it's affecting their family as well.

I still need support.

These pictures mean a lot to me.

People say you're still carrying these, uh, and I bring it up because this is the only thing I can talk with.

I know I'm talking to the choir.

But SFgov hear me.

I shouldn't have to go through this.

Look at these faces.

Thank you.

Weekly crime trends and public safety concerns.

Provide an overview of offenses, incidents, or events happening in San Francisco.

Chief Liu.

Good evening, President Clay, Vice President Benedicto, Commissioners, Director Henderson, members of the community.

Number one, I just wanted to thank the Commission for what seems like regular support nowadays at a lot of our events.

Chinese New Year, Officer of the Month, St.

Patrick's Day, today's POA's women's leadership luncheon.

So just really want to thank you on behalf of the officers and myself.

I want to thank you for all the support.

It is very meaningful for you all to be there.

So it's very much appreciated.

Secondly, uh from unfinished business from uh last meeting.

There were several follow-ups.

Um follow-up items that uh were actually quite in depth.

So what we chose to do instead was is to individually email you uh with some of the results.

So you'll have those after the after the commission.

Okay.

Going into the weekly crime trends as of March 15th to 2026, overall part one crimes down 32 percent year to date compared to 2025.

Total violent crimes are down 25 percent for the year.

Specifically addressing homicides, as of 315, there are 10 homicides for the year to date compared to three in 2025, which is a 233 percent increase.

Looking at gun violence, which is the number of people injured in a shooting incident added to the number of persons killed by a firearm.

We are up seven percent compared to 2025.

Incidents of reported rapes, which include attempted enforceable are down 17 percent.

Assaults for the year are down 16 percent, with a decrease of 36 percent in assaults by firearm, robberies down 39 percent, with robberies using a firearm declining by 38 percent, human trafficking incidents down 25 percent, with six incidents being reported so far this year compared to eight last time this year.

I'm sorry, last year at this time.

Total property crimes down 33 percent.

Burglaries are down 36 percent, motor vehicle theft down 35 percent, um larceny down 32 percent overall.

Specifically looking at autoburgs, they are down 35 percent compared to 2025.

Okay, drilling down into significant incidents.

There was one reported homicide incident this week.

There are 10 homicides year to date, six resulting from a firearm.

Uh nine of those homicides have been cleared in uh via arrest uh for the week.

One sh one non-fatal shooting reported.

There was one non-fatal shooting incident causing an injury to one victim.

A summary of that shooting occurred on the 500 block of John Muir in the Tarreville district on the 11th at 521 a.m.

on the 500 block of John Muir, an individual was confronted by two subjects in the common garage of the residential building.

One of the subjects shot the victim and took the victim's belongings and then fled in a vehicle.

The victim was transported for treatment.

There's no arrest at this time, it's an open uh investigation.

Summary of the homicide.

This occurred in the summer in the southern district on March 13th at approximately uh 210 p.m.

Officers responded to a residence on the 900 block of Howard Street regarding a stabbing.

They observed the victim suffering from stab wounds and rendered aid, including CPR.

The victim was later declared deceased on scene.

Two subjects were arrested for that uh in that incident.

Moving to notable operational efforts and arrests.

So um just as an overarching theme, we're continuing to prioritize organized retail theft.

Um in that vein, we have created a task force, um, an organized retail crime task force that encompasses the Sheriff's Department, the DA's office, CHP, as well as SFPD.

Uh the ultimate goal is to build partnerships proactively with San Francisco retailers, and this particular task force uh works on um conducts investigations, follow-up investigations, as well as proactive enforcement in the form of uh blitz operations.

So blitz operations are are uh operations where we'll coordinate with businesses and we will utilize uniform and plain clothes officers, coordinate with loss prevention or other uh employees of those businesses, and uh proactively enforced for uh theft incidents.

So task force operations this week, or for the reporting period rather, resulted in on the 10th, we announced four arrests for uh a series of uh a theft series involving more uh uh four four subjects, and they were um that totaled over thirty thousand dollars worth of of merchandise being stolen across retailers um throughout San Francisco.

And then on separately on the 10th and the 11th, we conducted blitz operations uh throughout the city that resulted in 13 arrests overall at different retailers.

So that'll continue to be uh a priorization for us.

As far as large events, we had a St.

Patrick's Day parade, there were no issues.

It was uh wholesome family event.

And then just a quick update on the academy.

We're looking forward to graduating approximately 40 off uh recruits into officers uh on April 2nd.

So that concludes my report.

So, Chief, going back to our last our discussion uh the last time we met, and you we've talked about this.

You know, we're having these shootings uh this year, and and they're not that more disproportionate than last year, but we're having more deaths.

And and we talked about that maybe closer shooting, close and personal, but also just it happens.

You know, sometimes you shoot a lot and you don't hit it.

I've seen enough videos and the judge and seeing the trials where somebody shot 30 rounds and they're hitting everything but somebody.

But it's one of those times where this happens.

And so it's not unusual higher gun activity per se, but it's that people are getting shot and killed.

Yeah, that's that's right, President.

And so what I want one of the other things we talked about is gun events, using guns, these gun crimes.

And and my question is, and and and and it's maybe be a little bit difficult for you uh to answer this, but I'll ask you maybe have someone take a look at it.

So we know there's just way too many guns on the street.

I mean, it's it's flooded with guns.

And my question becomes is is in our gun events, we may we may not seize who's shooting the gun or the gun because it's because they're gone.

There's a human we know it's a shooting, but we know who who has the gun or what the gun was.

But do we have our gun seizures?

How do our gun seizures in terms of ghost guns versus guns that you buy on the market?

Do we have any correlation to know how many of we're seizing there in terms of those numbers this year versus last year, or just the fact is, hey, we got a hundred guns, seventy were ghost guns, and the rest were you bought them off the market, or 20 were ghost guns, and 80 were bought.

Can we is there we have some type of analysis on that?

Do we we know that do they keep a stat on that?

Yeah, we do.

We do keep those stats.

Um I mean, just roughly speaking, we seize anywhere from close to a thousand uh guns uh from the streets per year, and then some percentage of those are ghost guns.

Um I don't have the exact number with me right now, but I can get you the those those percentages.

It'd be interesting just to see that's what that statistic is the ghost guns versus guns you buy from the open market store versus guys who are creating them off online, handing them out, and they're starting to use them.

So generally speaking, I would say that the ghost guns, we saw a huge uptick as of you know a few years ago, and they've started to trend downwards, I think thanks in large part to to regulation of of uh of ghost guns and the privately manufactured firearms world.

So Commissioner Scott.

Thank you, President Clay.

Thank you, Chief, for that report.

Um I'm very concerned about the shootings as well uh as a lot of our um citizens are as well, particularly our youth that's in the schools, as we know um the the recent shooting of the young lady that lost her life um involved two juveniles that are now incarcerated for for that for those for that particular incident.

And so I just want to know what we're what are we doing regarding getting this information out to the public, to the schools and to the neighborhoods about you know, an awareness about the ghost guns.

I know uh being a Brady advocate that we are doing that um to team enough, but um I would like to see a little bit more um information be put out there for the public.

Um because I know the public is um have you know come to us uh with questions, and so I said, Well, you know, we have a new chief, he's doing everything he can, and um he has an open door policy, um, and we definitely want the number one priority, as the mayor said today is public safety.

So um I just would like to see more done in that area of getting information out to the neighborhoods to the individual police stations, community meetings, et cetera.

Um I'm talking to my uh captain and Northern Station to see what we could do to where the public can be educated on how to report these shooters or if they hear anything, what to do, because oftentimes they don't know what to do.

Um, you know, they they are not aware of what to do, they they are afraid to come out, they're afraid to call.

Um but I think um if we put something together for them to um respond to uh that we can get a lot of this stuff resolved um quickly and helping us to keep our streets safe.

So that's my question is what are we doing and what how can we help you, Chief, to make out to make the public more aware of this and what they can do while they're at home hearing you know, guns going off in their neighbors.

I know it's quite frightening because I I've heard it in my neighborhood and um when it happened when the young lady was killed that was right in my neighborhood, and everybody was just, you know, they didn't want to go outside, they didn't want to do anything, they're kind of paralyzed.

I tell people just be still, call the authorities and you know, wait, but then after that we should definitely have a follow-up meeting with the community to engage with them to find to to tell them what can be done to keep our uh community safety and what they should do because the community the community wants to help, but they don't know how.

So I just wanted to bring that to your attention.

What can we do to help increase that um area of uh community policing with the residents of our city to be more involved and more active?

Yeah, thanks, Commissioner.

Uh so I guess my answer would be twofold.

Number one, I I touched on a little bit last week.

Um I think that you know we we've got a very good gun review, um shooting review process that helps us understand what's happening out on the street, uh, and then we take a couple different avenues and approaches based off of whether we think it's retaliatory in nature or or more one-off in nature.

Um, and then there are different ways of intervention um for both aspects.

And I would just say that you know, I I have a lot of faith in that process.

I don't think it was necessarily an accident that we got to 28 homicides.

Um, you know, I think it's it's uh a lot, a lot of that work has started to pay dividends, so I would lean heavily on continuing that process uh moving forward because we've shown that it works.

That's number one.

But number two, I I agree with you, Commissioner.

I think that the department would be more than happy to, and I think that we could do more on the engagement piece and working with people like yourself to to kind of have people understand what what the capabilities of San Francisco as a PDR, uh maybe you know, some of the different ways that we can um partner to to get guns off the street and uh help people that maybe are could go one way or another in kind of this retaliatory nature uh activity.

Thank you.

Chief my last thing.

There's a lot of good signs out of this in the sense that we've had this high uh rate of solving these cases, uh, which seems to me to believe that we got our officers out doing the job, we got the community helping out because you can't do it without the community.

And they're partnering with you all with the officers and telling them stuff that they normally get.

And also it doesn't seem as the these shootings are not randomized that we have seen so far, and it's not the heyday where we got a whole bunch of drive-by's coming around.

It's been kind of localized, and so that's a good thing.

It's not a good in the sense that we don't have people just shooting around, shoot-up houses, and I think the community should know there's not a lot of that happening.

So getting that message out, I think, as Commissioner Scott has said, is really important.

And the fact is that you continue to do your community engaging with those out in the community, talking about these things and asking them how they can help and how you will help them as you go forward.

So thank you.

Yeah, Commissioner, I would just add to what you just said.

I think that we're getting a lot of community participation in these investigations, whether that's video statements, witnesses, people calling in, um, and it's to your point we can't do it by ourselves.

Um and we're we're we're getting results, and I think that the fact that people are seeing that if if we cooperate or if we can get evidence to the police uh and it ends up being an arrest or a closure for an investigation, that just builds on itself.

So thank you, Chief.

If any member of the public would like to make public comment regarding line item five, please approach the podium.

Yes.

Um I was just listening to uh what you're saying about the gun violence and all the shooting that is still going on.

And it seems like every year when there's a shooting, we're back at the same stage or we need to have police walk, we need to have community um uh, you know, events, I mean not events, but when these shooties happen that we we go and and and have some kind of real resolution.

But we keep keep repeating this thing all the time, and it's it needs to be ongoing, not wait until it happens, that it's ongoing, you know, not you know, don't wait till another shooting happen before you jump in it.

It has to continue to be ongoing.

And um, yes, so I I and to break to bring that up about the uh these shootings.

I like to use the overhead.

I bring this up about the um the information about the the ways to pay tipsters.

Here is one way right here.

Get this out there.

People will talk.

They'll remain anonymous.

If they've been incarcerated before, they can still testify.

If you're a family member, you can still testify.

Mayor Laurie signed, Daniel Lori signed this.

This is his hand pen on this and this document right here.

How come this is not being implemented even more?

We talk about getting this out there.

My son's picture is up on a poll, up on a poll with a street name change, but no face to it.

We need to get faces out there.

I bring these faces with me every time I come here.

You have a signed document by Daniel Lloyd.

But it's not being implemented.

We need to put this out there more.

We talk about solving crime.

We're talking about solving unsolved homicides.

Why are we not putting this out there?

Why was it done for nothing?

Thank you, Ms.

Brown.

Line item six, DPA directors report discussion, a report on recent DPA activities and announcements.

Executive Director Henderson.

Thank you.

So we've had a couple of things uh this week.

One, we've been meeting with the uh City Attorney's Office uh working on the uh openness reports.

We recommitted, they are also part of the reports that we are reviewing to making sure that they are presented diligently and timely, um, and also making sure that we're striking the correct balance between both transparency and confidentiality.

I'll have more updates on that moving forward.

Uh also this week I spoke uh at the ABA National Conference on uh criminal justice, mostly talking about uh reforms with law enforcement.

Uh some of the policies and procedures from San Francisco were highlighted, uh particularly with the deaf and hard of hearing conversations that were taking place uh at the conference.

Uh I'm also pleased to announce uh that we are finished our full compliance with local, state, and federal the digital access program.

We're well ahead of DPA is well ahead of the 2026 deadline for April, uh, which means that now when you go online onto our websites, our digital content meets the established uh accessibility and inclusionary guidelines.

I think it's relevant because we've been having a lot of conversations about language access and disability, deaf and hard of hearing, all of those things are wrapped up into this work that is now making our documents and our past documents more accessible.

I think it's going to make a lot of difference with things like 1421 and our reporting.

It's only becoming more accessible now for the public to be able to do their own individual searches and to be able to check and review our records as we release them.

Uh in terms of our work, uh ongoing work, uh, investigations and cases in the agency since last commission meeting.

We've opened 32 new cases uh so far this year.

We've opened 179 cases in 2026.

We have 201 cases that are under investigation right now, and we have closed separately 173 cases uh so far this year.

Six cases have been sustained uh and four cases have been mediated.

I'm not reading all of the stats.

They're published and they're on the website, and they're also in the records if people want to know every single one of the stats so far.

Uh I'm pausing just for a moment to talk about the cases in the 270 days that are our cases that are told which investigations that have gone more than 270 days, uh, and there are seven cases that have investigations that have gone over 270 days.

There are so many reasons why that may or may not happen, but the reason that I just wanted to pause and acknowledge this, all seven of those cases, by the way, are told.

Uh we have been revamping and the length of time that it takes us to complete our investigations has continued to go down.

This number of seven uh is the lowest that it has been in over 30 years.

It's a big deal for the agency, and it's reflective of the amount of work that's going into how we are proceeding with our cases and our investigations.

It's significant in the history of the agency when part of this tolling was in our evaluating this number and reporting this number weekly was in part a response to evaluating 3304 cases or cases whose investigations went beyond statutory limits for cases that were lost and could not be investigated because of those uh time restrictions.

Uh just for historical purposes, before I came into the agency, uh up to 20 to 30 percent of the caseloads were dismissed uh because of 3304 restrictions that were missed and blown.

Again, we've had zero since I've taken over at DPA from 2018.

Uh but in terms of bringing that number down to the num the investigations and the length of time for the investigations.

Again, this is the lowest that it's been in the history of the agency.

And so I just wanted to acknowledge that and the hard work that's being done right now.

Uh in terms of cases that are still pending with final adjudication, there are 67 cases that are still pending with SFPD.

Again, this is the lowest number that I've ever seen since I've been at DPA, and there are three cases pending with the commission that are still awaiting uh final resolution.

I will uh reserve the rest of my comments to uh issues as they come up on the agenda.

But if there are issues that come up during the meeting where folks need to speak to us, uh our senior investigators here in the audience.

Also here tonight is our new director of policy, uh Jamal Anderson.

I folks need to get in contact with DPA for whatever reason.

They can find us and contact us at our website, sfgov.org forward slash DPA, and our phone number is 415-241711.

That completes my report.

Thank you, Director Henson.

Thank you, Director Henderson, for your report.

Um you had indicated this is the lowest number you've seen since uh heading DPA.

Can you uh explain or uh shed light on the reasons why or why the numbers are so low or get some background context?

Yeah.

Are you talking about uh cases waiting decisions?

Are you talking about the 270 day?

No, not the 270 day, the waiting decision.

You said that they were this was the lowest you had seen in the history of DPA.

Sure.

Uh so for these the cases.

Once they decided they go over to the department, and then we wait for uh the chief to assign them, and we wait for those decisions to come back from the assigned chiefs to make decisions, and then that's the final step of the process.

In the past, there have been any number of reasons, and maybe this question is better directed for the chief, but I know for a fact that part of the issue in some of the delays has been in staffing and personnel.

So uh some people are very good and they have assignments where they can process them and they're familiar with the process and they get them done very quickly and very easily.

And for others, they take a long time.

The reason that that is significant is because the length of that time can go as long as four or five years in the past, that would not be uncommon to have cases that have already been resolved, but waiting four or five years to get ultimately resolved, waiting for personnel to schedule them, resolve them.

That said, it's not a complete personnel thing.

Oftentimes there are delays that come from requested extensions or uh delays associated with the case where people ask for an extension for whatever reason that has happened in the past, too.

Um I mean, there's so many other reasons that come up, but it's typically after DPA has concluded or made uh a finding of sustained request with a recommendation in the case, and then it goes on from there.

Those are the ones that I'm aware of, but like I said, the chief can probably speak more clearly about what other reasons why that's taken place.

I know for certain within the past year, recently, before the chief came in, we've had three different changes over the past year, and every time there's been a change, there's been a shuffle about who gets assigned to the cases and where they go, and that has uh not sped things along, although I will say recently within the past few months uh and with the current chief, Chief Lou, uh also Paul Yep, I think started some of this as well.

And that has uh not sped things along, although I will say recently within the past few months, uh and with the current chief, Chief Lou, uh also Paul Yep, I think started some of this as well.

There was an intense concentration to get these resolved and get them done.

And that is what we're that's why these numbers are going down significantly from the past few months.

I I recall very recently where this number was over 100 with just within the past few months.

And now it's at what?

67.

Which is the lowest I've ever seen it.

Chief, did you want to explain and I can just say that I mean certainly from like the Chiefs you're inside of the house.

I'm sorry, Chief, you're so soft spoken.

Is your mic on?

Is your life your mic on?

There we go.

Press the button.

Yeah.

Technology.

You hear me?

All right, there we go.

Usually not soft spoken.

Well, I don't know if you're trying to kill us with your softness or or what's okay.

Um so just in terms of like Chief's hearings.

Uh-huh.

Umoughly speaking, I think compared to last year, we are that we had about a hundred pending.

Uh we're down to uh 49 pending, same time, uh same time period.

And the uh it's largely responsible or the the uh the clearance is largely responsible because of four things that I've noted here.

Uh number one, the chief's hearing memorandum was streamlined to allow for a faster turnaround time.

Commanders were added to the list of Chiefs hearing officers.

Um ID staff, they organize and schedule hearings in an expedited manner, and uh they've implemented regular monthly meetings uh to discuss case updates, so everyone's always abreast of what's going on.

So I think that combination is what's leading to uh much more streamlined process.

When you say it's uh streamlined, because I know I had asked for um sort of an update on the chief's hearings because we had a backlog and there was concern of um not enough um commanders hearing um and the continuances and delays and stuff like that.

So if maybe you can speak to the streamlined and what efforts have been made to make it more streamlined, and then also talk about sort of the disciplinary outcomes because I think that that was also uh it's uh that's also an important um aspect to this because um I mean you can settle a case, right?

But uh the question is are we settling cases that are consistent with prior pack practices in terms of discipline and what that sort of what that looks like, and you know, because I think that was also one of the DOJ recommendations that there was an inconsistency in discipline uh and the tolling or how discipline was handed out for s uh various violations.

So want to make sure that that also is taken into account.

AC Jones, you're here to report on that for us.

Uh I am here to report on the on the streamlining itself, which is basically the change in the standardized letter, the change that we have made to a standardized letter has made a tremendous difference in us being able to move more quickly through these cases.

I think it's also very helpful.

Is that letter the standardized letter where you include the language to have them front load their evidence so that it's not taken after that the language or what language is it?

Because I know that's the one.

We're coming in for second reinforcements now.

Apparently it's a phone a friend.

We got all your questions, Lisa.

Do you want to come up with the question?

I love it.

I love it.

No, because I know that that Chief Scott and I had worked on some of the language in the letters because one of the concerns that was facing, or that the challenge of the these hearings is that the evidence uh brought by off mitigation evidence brought by officers uh was not presented in a timely manner and it wasn't considered, or it would delay hearings, um, which would add to the backlog.

So thanks, Commissioner.

Hello, everyone.

I'm Captain Tom Harvey.

Good to see you all.

Just very quickly.

Uh I work at risk management with Lisa Springer, who I know you all know very well from her many presentations up here.

Uh so just very quickly if I can try to address uh your question the way I understood it.

The uh Chiefs hearing process formerly, yes, or scheduling issues because there was less people that were able to attend the chief's hearing in the first place since that's since change, which is good.

Furthermore, the letter, the process I should say has been simplified so that the hearing officer receives the information and either they concur with the original uh conclusion or they're allowed to state which what they think should happen next, uh different outcome.

And that's really the main key difference, so they could do it efficiently, quickly and move on.

When you say that the hearing officer makes a recommendation, I know prior what would happen is the commander would look at the file, make a recommendation, and then send it up the chain so that the chief would actually review it and then either concur or uh disagree and provide the recommended discipline.

So is that not happening now?

It's it's basically the same process, but the person is just saying like I agree with the chief's initial decision, initial outcome, or they say no, in light of new information or new facts, I think it should be X, Y, and Z, and they make the recommendations subject to the Chief's final approval.

So it still goes to the Chief after Yes, correct.

Okay.

Um you said that the process that the letter that the hearing officer streamlined the process in this letter.

What is I guess what's the change if you can give us the Yeah, just in essence, it's um instead of drafting a letter and and and drafting everything that was discussed during the hearing.

Rather, it's just it's just like a simple, like at the bottom of the forum, it's I agree with the chief's initial decision, or they state what they think it should be in light of new information.

Did you want to add something else, Chief?

I mean, that's I think he covered it.

I think we should agendize this because one of the things that I've learned in going out to um the district stations with DPA and with IA is that officers are not most officers you'd be surprised are not familiar with the disciplinary process, which on the one hand is good, right?

Because on the other hand, it's not good because I think there's a lot of misinformation uh that happens and they aren't aware of um what's happening, and I think that it's good to remind people how the disciplinary process works and sort of under your leadership, uh Chief, what you envision that looking like, Commissioner.

We can do that obviously, and then of course we address, we do an IAD presentation about discipline to every promoting class of all ranks, and we do it for all brand new academy classes.

Um but yes, we can certainly agendize and explain.

Are those does is DPA included in those uh presentations that you just described?

Um Yeah, I think uh DPA still goes to the academy, still presents on their process and their agency.

I am looking executive director Henderson to confirm.

We do, but not necessarily at the same time.

So when your presentation isn't necessarily we do do it, but it's not necessarily at the same time, so that they receive it at the same time.

But to your point, there is a lot of misinformation about the disciplinary process.

And part of why we started initially tracking this, as you recall, was a lot of the misunderstanding, presuming that DPA was delaying things.

This is a big problem for officers, obviously, when they have discipline pending over them and they want to get things resolved because they feel like it impacts their abilities to promote and their reputation and obviously we want to get things out and done and resolved as quickly as possible, too.

But we aren't we weren't having a lot of open conversations about what that process looked like and why things were languishing and how to address them in the pattern.

Director Henderson, are there any objections to this new process?

Absolutely not.

We are aesthetic with the new process and that you know things are getting resolved so quickly now, particularly Are you tracking the outcomes of how they're the once they're resolved, like what the form of because that's another complaint that we get a lot from officers that say that you know there's a discrepancy in how discipline is imposed.

We uh are doing that literally right now.

I just asked for that about two weeks ago.

Uh and also and you will see that in uh the annual report that I told you we've rechanged all of the records now, so you will have we're gonna have a regular schedule for the annual report.

We are almost ready now, but that report and analysis will be in the report where we track both our recommendations, what the uh chief has recommended and what those outcomes are is all going to be included in there.

So yes.

The one thing I would follow up on that is the recommendation is that when I went to the district stations to watch IAD and DPA do their joint presentation, it was really helpful because what I was seeing and one of the complaints we got um by numerous officers uh was not understanding the dual tracks or the the ability, yeah, the ability of DPA and the department to impose discipline and the two disciplinary bodies.

And so when they did the presentation together, they were able to, I think, really present a very clean under simple understanding to officers of how that those system two systems work and they were able to answer those questions right on the spot.

Because my understanding is before when it was just IAD or when it was just DPA, officers had questions about IAD that DPA wasn't allowed able to answer, and vice versa.

There were questions about DPA that IAD wasn't able to answer.

So when they did the joint presentations at the district stations, IAD would jump up and you know answer those questions when officers would ask about disciplinary issues that came up that weren't in DPA's purview, and vice versa.

And it was really effective.

So my recommendation would be that that sort of sinks because it makes sense.

I asked you a question.

Are these uh officers represented by counsel?

Generally the POA legal defense.

Not always is the answer.

But I would welcome uh Captain Chick now if he has to.

I just wondered the uh issue of explaining the process.

Do the lawyers not explained to their clients what the process is between DPA and the Commission?

I don't want to seal Paul's thunder, but yes, I think the process is explained to members when they are under investigation.

So the complaints we got, are they lodged with us so we can review them and see what the historical stuff I'm I haven't received uh uh Sergeant Youngblood, have we received anything in the Commission office from officers regarding this process or the lawyers to date?

Okay.

I just wanted to make sure we were talking about an issue.

So okay.

Thank you.

Well, I mean, I think it goes to show why we need to agendize it so that we can have that conversation and understanding so everyone's aware.

Thank you.

Well done.

If any member of the public has any uh would like to make public comment regarding line item six, please approach the podium.

Is this six?

Yes.

My name is Paul Chignell, I'm the legal defense administrator for the POA and uh retired SFPD captain.

We would like to participate in any discussion with respect to what you just asked, Mr.

President.

Uh we have a lot to offer.

Just uh a quick response to your question.

Most of the representation of police officers is done by police officers, active and retired.

Uh I assign cases to attorneys as on an as needed basis, uh, usually based upon the severity of the case.

Uh we are currently going through an evolution of a very good relationship with the DPA.

We haven't had that in the past.

Our relationship with the hierarchy of the police department is quite different.

Uh and we would offer some comments if you agendized that item.

As you know, the Board of Supervisors just yesterday had a committee of the whole meeting on police discipline.

Uh I testified there.

Uh and um that process is going forward.

Most of the members of the Board of Supervisors are uh apparently willing to keep the current discipline system in place.

There's a lot of criticism constructively from members of the Board of Supervisors about the proposal on that issue.

But if you agendize this, uh we will come.

I could also bring one or two of the attorneys that have appeared before you on multiple occasions so that we could give our perspective on all of this.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

And that is the end of public comment.

Line item seven, Commissioner reports, discussion and possible action, Commission President's report, Commissioners' reports, and commission announcements and scheduling of items identified for consideration at a future commission meeting.

So we had a busy month of March.

So on March the 7th, we had the uh Chinese New Year's parade, and we had five commissioners out there, the chief acknowledged.

We had a great turnout.

Uh was there 200, 300,000 people out there that night?

I know you said 1.2 million, but I know that was a good idea.

Yeah.

The rule.

But uh it was really people were real happy.

We had wonderful weather, the crowd, people cheered from from the department came by.

I had Commissioner Benedictals uh giving raw raw speeches, and I had call-outs and people were clapping.

So it was a great time.

And it was it was good to be out there amongst the people and then seeing us march with them.

It was very, very well then.

And as um uh AC said about the the chief, you know, he's gonna keep us back because he was like seven cars back, and we were all by ourselves because he's shaking hands and you know doing his thing, but it was great.

People loved it, and it was really nice to be out.

Uh and then we had on the um the third of uh the 11th of uh April, we had the mayor's office, the officer of the month, and that was a capacity crowd.

That whole foyer, that whole stadium was filled, and people were in the back standing up, and I think three of our commissioners were there were there with that, and that was a great turnout also.

People were very, very, very receptive, very happy, and some people downstairs even clapping, and so down below where people have having weddings here and here was the speeches that were being given.

So that was a great event, also.

And then finally today, myself, uh Commissioner Techie and Scott, we were there for the fourth annual women's leadership celebration luncheon and that was capacity crowd also.

That those tables were full.

Uh every table was filled, and with people were standing up around, and the people, the the speeches by um uh A.C.

Jones and and the Chief.

They took the house down.

Um and it was really, really uh very, very well well done, well attended and and well received.

So thank you all for doing what you guys were doing.

And um, that's my report for the for President.

Okay.

Commissioner Benedict.

Thank you very much, President Clay.

Uh yes, the Chinese New Year Parade was uh a great success.

I I'm glad that SFPD was able to maintain uh a really great presence in the crowd, that we had a really great crowd.

And the two very important traditions were maintained when the the famous crowd estimate at the end of the night, as well as the president of the the chief being the the slowest one in the in the parade.

I I I told the chief he's in good company, Chief Yap and and uh and Chief Scott were also always getting um we always get yelled at by the by the very hardworking parade marshal volunteers for our pace, but it was it was really great turnout uh to see, and I think in particular the Chin Town community was excited to see uh a son of the community um as chief.

Uh we also had Eileen Gu as the Grand Marshal, and that was very excellent.

Um in addition to the events that uh President Clay had mentioned.

Uh yesterday I uh accompanied um retired Captain Trignell as well as members of the Pride Alliance and Senator Molina to the Board of Supervisors.

I I think that uh we've seen so many improvements to the discipline system in the last number of years and want to maintain that momentum and ensure that our discipline process remains uh effective.

And that concludes my report.

All right.

Commissioner Scott.

Thank you, Commissioner Clay and um Echoes and um all of the good things that's been happening here.

Um I of course got a little late to the Chinese New Year's parade because you know I'm dealing with my wonderful mother who's gonna be 104 next month.

So she moves a little slow, so I wasn't able to get there.

I got there late, but um we enjoyed the parade thoroughly.

And um also to um uh uh Mother Paul uh Paulette Brown, just to let you know that we are getting that information out on Facebook, um church bulletins, um, other people's website.

We're asking other uh organizations like Mom's Demand Action and others to put it on their website about the information.

So it is getting out there, and so don't give up.

I won't give up as a mother, as you know, because as you said, birthdays and anniversaries are very, very crucial, and Mother's Day is coming up.

Um we're having our Mother's Day event on May 2nd at Southeast Community College, and everybody is invited.

Um, but I just want to keep you encouraged that the information is getting out there, and we want to definitely keep it on the city's websites as well about that, but especially the community.

And um today was a wonderful event, um, commemorating our law enforcement women at the um event today.

Um I'm recruiting, as many of us are recruiting more women and men to join the force, um, our wonderful police department, and I encourage everybody to do the same.

If we don't talk about it, we we tell people be about it.

You know, don't just talk about it, be about it.

So um I'm just grateful to um uh be there today for the Women's History Month.

We're not finished um celebrating this month for women and all the great things that our women in SFPD are doing, and then law enforcement period.

You know, it's a wonderful thing.

Um, but um I just want to say that um we will continue this effort and celebrating women's history month and at the same time helping our city to become safe and be on board with our uh chief, DA and um the mayor, and making San Francisco safer.

So thank you.

Thank you, Mr.

Commissioner Lass.

I'm gonna ask to uh agenda is the second week of April or the third week of April, the um a presentation uh on uh the the chief's hearings, the new process, the backlog, and the education efforts made by the department to educate officers on the disciplinary process.

I'd also uh like uh included in that um presentation, IAD and DPA's uh sustained cases versus unsustained cases.

I know uh Vice President Benedicto had raised that inquiry, and you had indicated that the stats were sent to us via email, but I think that should also probably be included in that presentation so we can um learn about that and educate the public in terms of what that looks like.

Thank you.

Thank you, President Clay.

Um I have to say this was my first time during Luna New Year parade.

I've I've seen it as a spectator um standing around it, but um it was amazing, it was wonderful, great energy.

I met some of the officers prior, which was great, and um really enjoyed the walk and also the encouragement that we got from the public was amazing and welcome was amazing.

And of course, uh Commissioner Benedict, I never saw that side of Commissioner Benedict before, so it he was really cheering us on.

So I also want to recognize today's event.

It was really um heartfelt, very moving, and I am so proud of our women officers, and I do know several of them in Tenderland Station because we have all women footbeat officers.

So I know them and I saw them today.

It was really wonderful seeing them, and so uh Chief I mean Chief Jones.

Uh you gave an incredible speech, and uh it was very moving, and it was very um I felt it was very straightforward, and you really f talked about the hope, which was very true, what you said, and I really appreciate being invited to it, and I I hope to go to many more and hopefully we can increase the number of women officers.

Thank you.

Thank you.

If any member of the public would like to make public comment regarding line item seven, please approach the podium.

There is no public comment.

Line item eight, SAPD serious incident review board findings and recommendations for the third quarter 2025, part three discussion.

Good evening, uh President Clay, um, Vice President Benedicto, Director Henderson, Chief Lew, and Commissioners.

Um I first want to tell you thank you for coming to the luncheon today.

Um, the three of you that were there.

Um it means a lot to have you guys there and and support us.

Um, as most of you guys know, my name is Lieutenant Lisa Springer, and I am here to uh do the presentation on the serious incident review board for quarter three, part three.

So should be the last of it.

In the third quarter of 2025 for part three, the serious incident review board reviewed two incidents.

One was OAS 23-002, and the second was OID 25-002.

OAS 23-002 occurred on June 22nd, 2023, um, at approximately 2 39 in the morning when dispatch sent SFPD officers from Richmond station to uh call an A priority assault or battery.

The 911 caller reported that their spouse was bleeding and believed that their adult child had killed their spouse with a stick.

The 911 caller stated that their child was using drugs.

Upon arrival, officer number one, who was working alone, met with the 911 caller who was bleeding uh from his face and seemed disoriented.

The caller directed the officer into the house where sounds were being heard inside.

As the police officer arrived at the top of the staircase, they announced themselves as the police, and the subject stated, come on up.

Expletive.

Officer number one observed the subject partially obscured by a door frame and ordered the subject to show them their hands.

The subject moved into full view, and the officer observed the subject holding a knife in their left hand.

Umicer number one ordered the subject to put the knife down, and the subject ignored the officer's commands and stated, I'm not scared of you.

The subject transitioned the knife from their left hand into their right hand and then began advancing toward the officer.

The officer uh at this point realized that the 911 caller, the father, um, had followed them partially up the stairwell.

The officer then retreated down the stairwell and ushered the 911 caller out in front and told them to get down while the subject continued to follow with the knife in their hand.

The officer continued to give commands to the subject to get back, or they would shoot them.

Officer number one ushered the 911 caller um out from the front threshold.

The 911 caller immediately turned to their right after exiting the residence and took cover on the porch.

Officer number one continued to pull the 911 collar away from the subject's advance.

When the subject reached the bottom of the stairwell, they increased their speed towards officer number one while still holding the knife.

The subject continued their charge towards Officer No.

Officer number one was actively pulling the 911 collar away from the subject's advance with the knife when they discharged their firearm at the subject.

Backup arrivals officers arrived just after the OIS occurred.

The subject stopped their advance, bent over, and fell to the ground in the entryway of the residence.

So they repeatedly ordered him uh to roll over from the knife.

When he didn't respond, um additional our officers that arrived on scene, they um advanced towards the subject with the shield uh and kicked the knife out of reach and immediately rendered um emergency medical aid until the paramedics arrived.

Officers located an injured person and a dog in an upstairs bathroom located to where the subject was when the officer first saw them.

Um and the person was pronounced deceased at the scene.

These were the recommendations to the chief of police from the serious incident review board.

Um as you can see, most of them are all are in the use of force um category as well as um treatment for injured persons and mandatory debriefings.

And we found the officer to be proper conduct and in policy on all of those.

Are there any questions on that OAS before I move on?

The second incident that um the board reviewed um in the third quarter part three was OID 25-002.

And this occurred on Wednesday, February 19th, 2025, at approximately 5 42 in the morning.

Um it was the officer in the locker room preparing for work at SFO.

The officer reached for his department issued firearm, which was inside of a bag in his locker.

As the officer brought the firearm down towards their hip to place it in their holster, the weapon fired.

The bullet was lodged in the linoleum floor and later recovered.

The officer ensured that nobody was injured and immediately notified his supervisor.

Uh these were the recommendations to the chief of police, which were um he was found not in policy or improper conduct for safe handling of a firearm.

Uh, there were no in-custody deaths um reviewed in the third quarter.

And then we just have all of the open uh uh covered incidents.

That's all I've got.

Any questions?

Thank you.

Thank you.

If any member of the public would like to make public comment regarding line item eight, please approach the podium.

And there is no public comment.

Line item nine, discussion and possible action to adopt revised Department General Order 5.08.

Plain close, non-uniformed and undercover officers.

Discussion and possible action.

Commissioner Benedicto?

Thank you very much.

Uh there's no presenter on this.

Uh it was presented to the commission October 1st.

The Commission approved it for meeting confer on November 5th, and meet and confer concluded on March 4th.

Like to thank the POA for uh moving this through meeting confer.

The last time this DJO was updated was 1996, as my fellow commissioners and some members of the public might know.

I've made it my mission to X uh to up to end all the 1990s era DGOs, so I'm glad there were one DGO closer.

Um so I will happily move to uh uh final adoption of the CGO with a 45 business day implementation time frame.

Action from there.

I second.

If any member of the public would like to make public comment regarding line item nine, please approach the podium.

There is no public comment.

On the motion, Commissioner Techie, how do you vote?

Yes.

Mr.

Techie is yes.

Commissioner Scott?

Yes.

Commissioner Scott is yes.

Commissioner Leong?

Yes.

Commissioner Le Young is yes.

Commissioner Elias?

Yes.

Commissioner Elias is yes.

Vice President Benedicta?

Yes.

Vice President Benedicta was yes, and President Clay.

Yes.

President Clay is yes, you have six yeses.

Line item 10.

Discussion and possible action to adopt revised Department General Order 6.13.

Hate crimes discussion and possible action.

So we've got a memo from DPA regarding the request to change some of the language in this DGO.

And we've got counsel for our council as indicated.

We need to follow the proper procedure.

Is this the one?

Yes, though.

Well, I have confirmed that because this is a the proposed change, and maybe we should describe what it is for the record, but because it's a minor non-substantive change, it would be within the Commission's discretion to make that change and adopt the DGO this evening if if it wants to.

And that's the case even though it's for final adoption and not just for approval for meeting confer?

Yes.

So the addition of that one that that being that one word in front would be we can consider that minor.

Is that is that what you are saying?

It's the whole item.

Yeah, we can put it on the record.

Explain what it is.

Mr.

Henderson, Director Henderson.

Thirdly, I will call up my new director of policy to speak.

He can walk you through it.

Jamal, please.

Do you have uh one copy or we've all got a copy?

You can have mine, Jim.

I don't.

Just one more.

Uh good evening.

Uh my name is Jamal Anderson, uh, new director of policy here at DPA.

Uh, this is day eight uh for me.

Uh but I have before you you should have what is a proposed friendly amendment to the updated uh hate crimes policy, uh, which I was able to review.

I should say by way of background before joining uh DPA, spent about 10 years as a prosecutor, including a number of years as the designated hate crimes prosecutor here in San Francisco.

So I have uh a good amount of familiarity with the issues associated in this particular policy.

I can say that there have been a number of internal conversations uh at the District Attorney's Office, certainly when I was there with the chief of the Vulnerable Victims Unit, uh Nancy Tung about this specific policy, given that I was prosecuting these cases.

What I have put before you uh is a friendly and very technical amendment to add a few words uh to the policy as it's been revised.

Um primarily to note that evidence of bias uh can be provided uh by statements and or conduct from suspects uh that occur either before, during, or more specifically after an incident has occurred.

Uh the word after is not included in the revision here, uh, but I can note that based on my experience when prosecuting these cases, it is often very helpful uh to understand if there is conduct or statements made after an alleged incident, as that can also be used to prove uh bias motivation.

Uh those are the very technical amendments, which I think would be helpful both for the police department uh and for the district attorney's office and also for the public defender to assess uh these incidents better.

Uh I'm happy to answer any questions.

That being said, Madam City Attorney, as relates to what he has provided to this body, we would consider we could consider we have to need a motion to consider that be a minor, and then before we uh vote on the actual issue itself.

I think it would be one motion.

In oral amendment.

Yeah, it can be one motion to adopt it.

It would be a single motion to orally amend the proposed change or adopt the proposed change and adopt it as revised.

But to that do we have to make a finding that in fact the language itself?

No.

Okay.

No, that would just be my advice that it is within your discretion to approve it this evening.

That being said, do you want me to make a mission?

Can I can I bring a copy?

All right.

I will make uh a motion for uh to adopt the revised Department General Order 6.13.

Uh and I'm just checking if they ask for a specific implementation timeline.

Um with a 30 business day implementation timeline with the following amendment under Section 6.1304 A G, Roman numeral five, to remove the words prior to or during the incident.

Uh sorry, uh, I'll read the whole edit.

Five will now read narrative, document the bias motivation, and include conduct or statements made by the suspects prior to, during or after the incident, indicate the relevant protected characteristics of the victim and the suspect if known.

That is my motion.

I'm second.

If any member of the public would like to make public comment, please approach the podium.

Also from 1996.

So thank you.

Another 90s DJO.

And there is no public comment.

On the motion, Commissioner Techie, how do you vote?

Yes.

Commissioner Scott?

Yes.

Commissioner Scott is yes.

Commissioner Leon?

Yes.

Commissioner Leoung is yes.

Commissioner Lyas?

Yes.

Commissioner Lyons is yes.

Vice President Benedict?

Yes.
