>> good morning, everyone. >> i'm san francisco mayor london breed and i'm so excited and happy to be here with each and every one of you to celebrate an historic milestone i want to express my appreciation. too, so many people have been there from day one to help us got to this moment it is important we take a setback to talk about the history, the challenges, how star we've come while? definitely a commemorative moment didn't mean we want to

won't continue the great work to balance the reforms we need to implement as well as making sure we focus on public health for san francisco. we can do both we have done both the data makes that clear this is to be that's why day is to o so significant i remember 8 years ago and all with ed lee form mayor and form supervisor malia connecticut and police and our form chief and thank you for being here today chief sir. >> we came out (clapping.) during a very difficult time. there were a number of photos who were out ranldz a number of challenges to this department

faced. and the fact is at the time and though we miss president obama his department of justice put out 200 plus to improve we adapted that and worked with the california doj to implement those recommendations first through xavier used to be the california attorney general and now others continuing through that process so much has happened a lot of outrage and frustration many of you know i grew up[in a community where trust between people in our community and law enforcement was challenging what i appreciate most about what this day means today how far we've come and significant it is

that we have worked hand to hand with the police department and the communities and varies organizations and number of the folks to get to that place the leader of our department chief bill scott makes sure we have despite what we've experienced around public safety we have never band our desires to implement our criminal justice system reform work with the police department and this is why this day again so, so significant. >> (clapping). >> so here we go now mayor, that people know that we've completed in work but know that what this work over the process entails we have seen a restriction and chief scott will talk about this we have seen a reduction by over 40 percent in

ois ois and over 60 percent that chief scott will talk about i want to take a moment to reflect in the beginning 8 years ago there were a number of people and many of the people in this room who really stood up sea faced consistent was a lot of protests a lot of anger a outage when a lot of the protests and anger and outrage started to decline people were focused on doing the work and city people to make sure we move forward with those reforms and they were going to make a difference and yet in still with the completion of those reforms there still critics who are saying not enough why did it take so long? my challenge to those people

still want to criticize that extraordinary work if you're job give gavin you 200 and 72 recommendations of work you had to do adds implement with thousands of your employees how much will it take you to do that and not to mention the applications around the existing work that the department has to do eir day we continue to push forward about work and made it happen and did so in a dhaij. >> 1. call to order and roll call. time after a pandemic with the numbers decline around use of force and other issues in the immigrant we have seeing a 10 year low san francisco's crime rate in focusing 2023 and continues to trend down the lowest in years not including the global pandemic we've done both we balanced the need

(clapping.) we've balanced the need to continue reform along with continuing to serve and protect the people of information. and i want to say to the men and women of san francisco police department thank you for the work you've done thank you for your patience while we work through these very challenging times and to the community thank you for in many cases instead of just being civil being welfare to work with the police department on implementing those valuable reforms and i will also say that we continue to do important work in the department to make sure that when something is not quite going right or nothing not working, advertise it. okay. to correct and to make adjustments in order to get to a better place we're not

our city um, community groups and active groups a number of the city department nonprofits be clergy and academic partners and our commissions and i'm going to say a few words before the please commission but mayor london breed and her commission (clapping.) we're here to acknowledge the 200 and 72 recommends my mind to the california doj and to be clear 90 percent of this work we already have been in compliance the remainder of 27 our work is submitted collaborated with the california pta and which is the consultant firm we've been working with since the startup

we know we're in fact to complete the recommendations that you found in substantial compliance, however, again there is more work to be done this is a great city always seems happening this is policing and always events happening if not here elsewhere but the process to recalibrate and adjust this is what that work it about put in the treasure to do just that the thing about reform is i think gets lost on some people it is complicated work and it takes time. and it really can't be done over tonight to we'd like to be to some changes you don't see but change happens that which is it done right and easy to forget how we got there easy to forget what, if anything, caused us to engage in the type work in the beginning the one thing i wanted to read

verbal the u.s. department of justice shows they're leadership of this city and why would we are doing what we are doing and a reminder why we're doing what we are doing. i'm going to read this vermont from the doj report in 2016 in response to community concerns trolley otherwise growing sir, asked department of justice the doj office of the community oriented policing services to assess the policies and practices through the collaborative reform technical process. it takes both courage and leadership to open your that department to scrutiny we know this is the only way to identify weaknesses reerrors force our

streets and improve the relationship fine community they serve and greg thank you, courage and leadership (clapping.) and 5 areas of c i use of force programs and policies and policies and to address the issue of obesity and policing and protocol with the complainants and disciplinary processes and recruitment hiring and personnel practice. now the u.s. doj implemented the assessment in october of 15 that's kind of where were you you i was at i cp conference in

san diego was when the report was released by then unbe component to the public i was considered for in job instead of doing conference stuff i was reading the report. and preparing to expedite against 60 other people to step in and help what chief sir, started. it took a lot. to get us to this point it took courage and vulnerability openly the books and letting the world see our strengths and weakness led by the police commission was led the president of the police commission at the time starting taking on that work before that was released and by december of 2016 only less than two months

after the doj report was released had one of the best police force policies in the country without controversy but it was a good policy. this started before the u.s. doj completed that report that's an important part it shows what the city is about we'll get to the work that's exactly what the pd did when the policy was published the mayor at that time mayor lee announced i would be the next police chief what an honor and continues to be i want to tell you kind of why i came here a little bit of context

what romper means to me as the leader of this department. um, in 1991 i was a young offers with the lapd an incident happened changed across as the country if not the world at the time was warren christopher commission had a bunch of regions the lapd i had two or three years on the job at that time and that started my adjourn with change and police reform. but a decade later the same process and before we economy that la was under - 12 years later said done enough work and in compliance but the work didn't stop question is so sustain the work so bend i got here in 201725 of my 27 years at

every level of the department was engaged in this type of work. it meant two to three something to me i learned that had impact that we as police officers have on the community we serve when things don't go the way the community want it to go particularly will i ourselves the greatest trust and we can do better and that's what chief sir, took on and what's what the members of the department took on and every member of the police commission has taken on since we have engaged in the work that's what mayor london breed continues with doing this lady she calls me a lot

(clapping.) and all good (clapping.) so what does it take to get in work start to finish first of all, it takes time and for those of you who studies this type of work it takes years and some police departments takes years and never finish. um, 2016 we adopted in work and jumped in with both feet we got off to a slow start and september of 2017 after a change in the administration the said we're done and pulled the plug no no more country i - i we doubled down didn't stop by (clapping.) february - thank you. (clapping.)

>> and by february 2018 had an agreement with the doj and brought back to announce and we picked the work right back up and many people in the room were through to make that happen including the mayor london breed at the time i know the president of the board of supervisors. who pushed for this work to continue. of of you and some of the front row we had president julie with the police commission president at that time that's how you get diversity called commitment. we went through several iterations of police we should several presidents bob and others. malia accordingly a

strong partner and have president i want to make a comment about some of the commissioned i know commissioner is in the room right here in the front row. and, you know, started doing the work in 2015 by takes that commitment and that's what the city did and have the city attorney's office david chiu in the room making sure this reform work continues and basically wrote the mou and david when he was a senate launch pushing policies three were hench and to the city attorney's office and his predecessor the same thing this city is committed not just about us it is about the city about the communities we serve and

that's what it takes to complete these type of monumental changes in the police organization we have the commitment and have the collaboration and courage and to be vulnerable anticipate more importantly the willingness to president o accept the changes need and if come without heart acre and drama we've had our share by also right the ship get ourselves together and keep on moving forward that's the spirit of any reform that is the 13ir9 of this city of san francisco. >> so after we got started we started in 2018 we learned licenses we put together with the clofsh partners and structures infrastructure and compliant measures was you're

doing because as good as the u.s. doj was didn't have that guidance to put together those structures we took that on and made that happen i want to acknowledge cunningham in the third room led that change for the infrastructure we of the that is goalpost tended to move we thought we were down the road a little bit and no you're not like wait a minute? from jason and the team working with the california doj attorney general la series put those together put a grounding and the ability to understand exactly what we needed to do that's when things starred to move and came adverse again in 2020 covid. >> and mayor was the first in the nation to really say we have to shut things down and work

from home and all those things wasn't have been easy to make a excuse you know what that reform thing we have covid and people dying let's put that on the shelf we if do that and came three and four of 2020 and george floyd was killed. and again, turned us popping up and the civil unrest address the fires and businesses burdened burns saying we are too busy we doubled down question did our best work after 2020 and 2021 things were really, really difficult (clapping.) but took inmate took day staying the course and taking the

criticism i remember when i don't know if you remember this conversation when the mayor 24r0e78d will be uncomfortable in the department you know what we learned we learned from our mistakes we learned we needed to hear the community and sometimes that came with great criticism but we need the it and we look at us now we're doufrnd with two hundred and 70 recommendations knowing we have more work to do (clapping.) so - >> i'm going to make a couple of few more points before the community because community collaboration is really one of the things one of the core things that reform is supposed to fostered and i really on the city gets it right and not

perfect reform not about protection reform is about who when way have an issue and owes willingness to address it and that is what romper is there always be incidents, you know, and they are will be it things that happen and need to be corrected internally when things happen when we have no control over in parts of the country that is a fact and things happen over and over and over again we're the city and department put ours in you know what i will prevent that from happening this is what this work is about and this community engagement so we have engaged with the community we have engaged with groups we have engaged with groups don't necessary see eye to eye with us

the core issues of policing here's the thing those disagreements when you sit down and respect each other push us in the right direction and sometimes a thing called compromise to get to the next level and next steps we've learned how to do that and sometimes you have to hold your ground we know how to do that too many but we sinned with groups have pushed us and want to acknowledge this felicia jones in the front row and others (clapping.) because during that rough time of 2020 and 2021, ms. jones and they are group sanded with us every three months where are you on this reform what are you doing what is this and that not done? offer man give me a break

but she never did (laughter) you know what those types of pushes what we need and we have community partners that do that the bar association i see the president aladdin jackson sitting there (clapping.) julie who has been with us with policy changes and workshops and the like but they bring a perspective sometimes subcommittee we have blind spots we don't see what i have that level ever perspective urging to do better work shout out to all the groups that work with us i'll only rattle after a few. >> (calling names.) >> a staple and ms. paul brown here and george ms. brown is

still been she's always there pushing us. she's there reminding us don't forgot about me and my son what will i do to fix your problems so ms. brown thank you. (clapping.) >> the homeless coalition we don't agree i'll be the first to say three they're here with at mission to help people and we do what can we come together on some of those intersect look about the accreditation coalition the leadership of the mayor and her office it is city and beacon and helped a lot of people. so is it perfect? no. >> are there still challenges

absolutely. we move to indoor dining and there are a lot of of fees this pulls the academic paper and less you thought of chicago and ike berkley and many others there are a lot of city departments that have collaborated with us because that's what we're proposed to be doing and the recommendations said we needed to do better. >> what's the result? >> drug market cooperation and mentioned all those things public works and his team. adult probation which is the chief she's here thank you for being here the partnering and juvenile probation our public defender's

office and all those things have come together and made us get to this, too, and what are the outcomes this is part to me blast all about the work is there and the infrastructure and because of members of this department we have some outcomes to talk about and i'll say i read the articles sometimes oh, you did that yeah i know we have work to do let me tell you something you don't know about that department we'll get it done. because i'm confident that everything and we put our mind to and work together what make that better may not solve all the problems but those things people are saying you didn't do that we'll get it done i guarantee that but here's what we did we reduced and greg asked

him to come in from 2016 to 2022 and we've changed youth force policy a pickup we made it better and took recommendations from the equity and added things to the policy and had to correct it but the officers we can do better and change of with regarding the illness we hired exist and 5 areas the focus with the african-americans and asian-american and others we increased from 2015 to 81 percent in 2023 (clapping.) and reduced officer-involved discharge that was part of the vision the chief wanted to

reduce illness by 50 percent in 7 years of service since that work began (clapping.) we've increased transparent and we have an illness we have one or more of the most quickest transparency process in the country has it concerns how we have omni bus those of you who follow and talk about the specifics just yesterday, we had a videoconference an officer-involved discharge that was reduced shouldn't have happened we released so and so videos within 10 days (clapping.) you know, and it is not about what others are not doing but we are doing and one of the best departments in the country by the community and people in this room and people in uniform and

our professional staff that pushed us forward. deesclation training and enhanced training had incidents that looked how we do business and as a result i want to give a shout out to the deputy chief at the k345e78d at the time a mission we got to do better that the deescalation and the cooperation and what they came up with many people on the staff critical minds with response training changed us slow down and corporate banking and communicate and do we do that it will be helpful no, but the principles this really, really changed the game for us and made things better so we're better? why you see this force and you can illness going down we released the video the efforts and they're transparent.

so thank you, assistant chief for that for your work (clapping.) you know, our citing training some of the work is gone before we enter into the agreement cpi training we ramp it up and evolved and i don't know if they're here but many people in the room were part of that and including our partners from dpa i know that director anderson is here in back there and jennelle but dpa is a reformed partner do we always agree no do we always see things eye to eye but here's the thing they're about accountability we're about accountability. let's see what

thanks intersect and do that in a quasi that is acceptable to the masters that's what we've done and the reform called for a better working relationship it maybe we have to agree. it doesn't mean that nor should it. but the work has gotten better eats the partnerships and paul thank you, for your work we take every come up 6 weeks and some we talk about how the to make this better problem solving we have issues to solve. and community engagement we set up a community engagement division as part of this work and the first leader was dan commander david la sierra and david you have to campus to make that work and happen here's the vision that's exactly what he did and the

r50e78gsz with the community policing we put together work shop at the controller's office and really did an ongoing job of that body of work and david thank you for the work (clapping.) accountability. >> tracking the use of force and all those things didn't come without pain and didn't come with or without spending money so again another thing to happen in 2020. our mayor exquisite on every she put together a police reform package and it ain't cheap not cheap so we had to invest in technology part of that the mayor's vision on reform to take the calls we get into have to be handled by and trained police officer carving a

gun we can get other people with the expertise to work and as a result of that work, thousands of calls have been take place off our plate so thank you, mayor. for that leadership (clapping.) so and dea an giving me the sign additional someone will come out in the minute i'll wrap up. this is a real accomplishment but i want to end where i started that the work is not finished, you know, we put a lot of effort and what are we're going to do to sustain in work in the 200 and 70 recommendations are completed with excusable compliance we have to work on our disparities we know that and part of what we are doing. we know we can make

that better and will make that better but the work is not done i want to thank you for being here. and one thing i was saving for last to o so many members of the families have supported the members of this department. the phone numbers the one calls, the call outs, the calls that are thing burglary p that are irritating in drufrp a family structure my wife and son and family included. thank you. >> (clapping.) and so. >> i close the book of my notes that the work is not closed i'm going to call the mayor back up and thank you all

(clapping). >> 8 years of work 200 and 72 regions to implement, clearly the chief had a lot to say so i just want to again appreciate chief bill scott and recognize his extraordinary leadership on this work it takes a village but our chief is known throughout the u.s. as a a leader around romper and important to work with the department and the community as well as those who are involved in putting it together so. thank you, again. chief for your leadership (clapping.) and as you can see some supervisors have come and gone we have as well as other

commissioners deborah walker and thank you, yee as well. >> (clapping) and so i want to take this opportunity to quickly say we have a bunch of other speakers chief this is really important i want to take the opportunity to kind of make a quick point before i introduce the next speaker san francisco talks about a union town and protecting workers respects and oftentimes when we talk about workers rights people forgot about the need when making changes and adjustment to the police department that is important they're protected. and i want to appreciate the work of our next speaker from making sure that she was always look out for the best introducing interest of the people who she represents because those of us

have never gone through the police academy and sworn officers to upstairs when it feels like to be in those situations we can talk about that but to implemented it appropriately so that not only is the public see that public officers are safe it is important to implement those reforms with that, please welcome our president of the police officers association tracey and those your glasses? >> (laughter) well, i know everything has been said and so i'm done (laughter). >> good afternoon it is almost average i'm tracey the president

of police officer association an association and entire history (clapping.) old hat old business i'd like to say that i have a lane i stay in when i'm doing union business working and recommendations of all officers a lot of time i get pulled out of that i don't mind this is about people doing shop if i look at the audience i have to give every single in uniform credit sometimes, we or pulled in a lot of different directions some of you were pulled on the it team could have been in the community in the streets doing the important work but doing that c i was important if not 30 or important and other words

held the reform recommendations two hundred and 72 that's a lot of work our job is ever evolving changes each year laws are changed respect we have to adopt and better was more efficiently helping people in the community we serve. but the thing about it is we step up to the plate. and no one what fault us for not wanting to try like the chief said a lot of things happened in the last 8 years we have other things on the plate we're evolving and getting better that is what our goal should be because like change it didn't stay the same stamping in motion we the chief and i had a robust

discussion i told him when i play basketball on a level we would pha practice at 5 in the morning and over and over and over trying to reach preservation that's a lofty goal that's what we try to do everyday perfect in our jobs and our duty and to protect the citizens and the workers; right? practice makes perfect so though we may have to see 200 and 70 recommendations thousand out there come from community groups and police commissions and from the board of supervisors and our own members did men and women doing the job we are constantly trying to strive and get better. though being the leader of union you, you know, we have our meetings with the police

commission and very robust with the board of supervisors sometimes with community groups i take pride when i was serving in the district, of course, i was born and raised the mayor and i grew up in the same neighborhood i was a baby and would be walking and if you da know every public housing has cut areas if i don't know where you are at shouldn't be there i was walking one day through potting introduce hill a woman yelled out babying aren't i scared to be walking by yourself i was like to ma'am, i can't be scared about people saying and across the city us they're haters all the time we have to

be reluctant in our belief every single putting on the uniform and jump into that car with or without our partner and sometimes the worst day from the money detain to the incident. and been in there how will we handle the situation we can't be afraid of change or not afraid of change and criticism criticism helps us do our job we'll continue this goal this lofty goal to be the best and we're the best in the department in the country if not the world for what we're trying to do continue to work with our community partners felicia jones i know she has a lot to say we'll not always discrete but

for the men and women doing the job so thank you very much for there are no speaker cards and mayor for your leadership and chief scott firing leadership and every single one and not saying your names we ran over time i won't that thank you, chief sir, for starting us off. thank you very much. (clapping.) you brought it back that the hood. >> and also the people who helped us we had to make sure we, of course, followed the law in doing that work and the incredible staff of the city attorney's office were extraordinary and made adjustments had it was sometimes difficult to do so starting with um, form he city attorney herrera and chu now as the city attorney but instench helping

with reforms when they it served as a member of conceivable and the board of supervisors please welcome, david chu. >> (clapping). >> good morning. i had a thirty minute speech but 27 minutes to the chief and felicia three quick things first of all, 8 years ago in 2016 when i was serving in the legislature i remember when in starts my colleagues in the legislature california state and few weeks from the country asked me us is san francisco going to get it done? i remember conversations with the london breed and others we said we are going to engage in the process and journey i want to thank you, who are responsible everyday for

protecting our safety and making us secure and making a more just society and i would be remiss if i didn't thank the men and women in our office the deputy city attorney's spent hours directing the rex working with our police commission and take a moment at single anti our general manager for the police department alicia thank you for your work. (clapping.) but say it is about trust. because we know 8 years ago that trust had been broken between law enforcement and too many community in the city particularly our communities of color and thank you everyone for pulling together to get us here and as the chief said our work is feet done our office is looking forward to working with i as we decide the

recommendation for the doj and making sure this final phase lands the way we want it to but as a great man ones said the acre of the universe is long but i want to thank you for being part of this long journey and continue to do this work until our city has justice for all. thank you very much. and have a good average. >> (clapping) last but not least is someone who has been a part of this work from the very beginning. you know, there has been protests and a lot of people who had made a lot of demands. but at the end of the day, when the noise started it to quiet down and the cameras went away and some people certain people behind the scenes rolling up their sleeves

and working hand in hand 0 e to get the job done and bring the community perspective i couldn't think of a better person to talk about that their own health and disparities founder felicia jones. >> (clapping) felicia has been doing a lot of other work too at the end of the day, unwavering in her commitment to not only address those reforms but to work toelgd together with the department to do so we're grateful to have her here today. thank you very much. (clapping.) >> this is what the work do you to sometimes

(laughter). >> so i first time to say in order to serve the people i'm sorry in order to save the people you must serve the people. in order to lead the people you must love the people. and i wanted to say at the 2 to 3 mayor london breed an thank you to chief scott, and the some of the things urging to hear will be rerend but as my beloved mayor indicated into a community point of view and the hard work and in that which we welcome the days or nights in the black communities were set back and after all the marches, after the rallys i want to thank work together and disparities volunteers that stood by me.

because it was and is a black letting led grassroots organization (clapping.) and so i'm going to go fast mayor but i need to say some of the things, you know, bear with me. so in 2015, san francisco made the top worth large city in the u.s. per capita killing by the police. and 2015, ended with the horrible caught on camera firing squad style execution of mario words sparc union and activists demanded change mayor lee who complies malia accordingly to go to washington

d.c. >> to speak to the doj in 2016. >> at the time of b loved mayor was the president of the board of supervisors who also was part of this work. doj takes san francisco and early in 2016 february to be exact because of enormous activism of killing of mario woods this disproportionate killing of black san franciscans i'm not naming them all trump took office and shut down all of doj reform actions. chief scott came in after multiple changes during the volatile activism chief tony chaplain chief from january to
