A
A
A
B
To
the
public
safety,
finance
and
strategic
support,
Committee
just
going
to
read
a
few
comments
before
we
get
started.
The
first
one
is
excuse
me
before
we
begin
I
want
to
remind
the
public
or
the
public
safety
and
finance
strategic
support
committee
members
and
members
of
the
public
to
follow
our
code
of
conduct
at
meetings.
This
includes
commenting
on
specific
agenda
items
only
and
addressing
the
full
body.
Public
speakers
were
not
engaged
in
conversations
with
the
chair
council,
members
or
staff.
B
All
members
of
the
public
safety,
finance
and
strategic
support
committee
staff
and
the
public
are
expected
refrain
from
abusive
language,
repeated
failure
to
comply
with
the
code
of
conduct
which
will
disturb
restruct
or
impede
the
orderly
conduct
of
this
meeting.
May
result
in
a
removal
from
the
meeting
this
meeting
of
Public
Safety
Finance
strategic
support
committee
will
now
come
to
order.
B
C
B
Item
B
is
review
of
the
word
clamp
plan,
but
before
I
get
started,
because
this
is
the
space
in
the
agenda
in
which
we
can
remove
defer
or
do
various
things
with
items
that
are
on
the
agenda.
I
want
to
just
say
that
the
agenda
item
D4
responds
to
the
investigation.
Police
misconduct
in
the
San
Jose
report
by
mola,
fukori
and
LLP
was
deferred
by
approval
of
the
joint
meeting
for
the
rules
and
open
government
committee
at
their
meeting
at
our
meeting
last
week.
B
This
item
will
now
be
heard
on
June
15
2023
at
the
public
safety
Finance
strategic
support
committee,
which
is
this
committee.
So
if
you
were
attending
the
meeting
a
comment
about
that
that
item's
deferred,
but
if
you
still
want
to
make
a
comment,
you
could
do
it
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
during
an
open,
Forum,
so
feel
free
to
stay
and
hang
out.
B
B
Thank
you.
We're
gonna
go
ahead
and
move
on
to
our
first
report
item
D
reports
to
committee,
and
this
is
the
annual
fire
department,
Emergency
Medical
Services
report.
Today
we
have
Chief
Sapien
battalion
chief
Patrick
Chung
Deputy
fire
chief
Bureau
of
EMS
and
training
Scott
koscarelli
fire
captain
EMS
Field
coordinator
Sean
Lovins
and
Monica
Alcantara
Kirk
supervising
Public,
Safety
dispatcher,
so
go
ahead
and
get
started
when
you're
ready.
F
All
sworn
personnel
are
trained
and
certified
to
the
EMT
level
to
provide
basic
life,
support,
patient
care,
which
includes
cardiopulmonary,
resuscitation
utilization
of
automated
automatic
external
defibrillators,
otherwise
known
as
aeds
spinal
motion
restriction
and
bleeding
control.
Emts
can
also
perform
emergency
childbirth
with
newborn
resuscitation
and
conduct
fundamental
patient
assessments.
F
F
Okay,
so
let's
talk
about
a
typical
medical
emergency
that
occurs
within
our
city
limits.
A
911
request
is
generated
for
Emergency
Medical
Services,
which
is
routed
to
our
fire.
Communications
division,
we're
a
public
safety
radio
dispatcher
quickly,
triages
the
incident
utilizing
a
standardized
protocol
called
medical
priority
dispatch
systems
mpds.
F
Typically,
the
San
Jose
Fire
Department
arrives
on
scene
first
to
provide
patient
assessment
and
initial
patient
treatment.
When
the
ambulance
arrives,
two
things
can
happen.
One.
The
firefighter
paramedic
retains
patient
care
of
exigent
patients
to
transport
them
to
definitive
Care
at
an
emergency
department
to
provide
the
greatest
chance
of
survival
for
the
patient.
F
F
This
partnership
between
the
contracted,
County
ambulance
provider
and
San
Jose
fire
department
is
part
of
the
911
EMS
provider
agreement
between
the
city
of
San
Jose
and
the
county
of
Santa
Clara
EMS
agency,
which
includes
a
provision
for
first
responder
funding
sourced
from
ambulance
transport
revenues
to
receive
this
vital
first
responder
funding.
The
department
must
meet
performance
criteria
specified
in
the
agreement,
including
response
time.
Compliance
rates
fiscal
year,
21-22
performance
resulted
in
approximately
2.9
Million
Dollars
in
first
responder
funding.
F
The
fire
department
also
deploys
three
rescue
Medics
that
can
provide
patient
transport
in
very
specific
scenarios
as
part
of
the
911
EMS
provider
agreement,
specifically
when
immediate
life-saving
transportation
is
required
during
material
failure
of
contracted
ambulance
provider
and
when
the
contracted
ambulance
provider
is
facing
response
delays.
Now
this
is
important
and
we'll
cover
it.
In
later
slides.
F
F
Okay,
we're
going
to
talk
about
call
volume
and
I
know
that
the
council
members
in
the
committee
was
briefed
on
this
previously
by
our
bfo
staff
back
in
March,
but
I
just
want
to
highlight
one
point.
Starting
at
fiscal
year
1718
you
can
see
negligible
one
to
two
percent
changes
in
call
volume
until
fiscal
year.
2021..
F
Now
we
notice
that
some
attributable
trends
for
the
increasing
EMS
service
demand
could
be
one
an
aging
population
here
in
Santa
Clara
County,
which
correspondingly
comes
with
significantly
higher
rates
of
severe
chronic
health
conditions
and
functional
limitations.
That
result
in
the
need
for
more
health
and
Supportive
Services.
F
F
The
EMS
division
reviews
electronic
patient
care
reports
that
are
completed
after
each
patient
contact
to
observe
and
analyze
Trends
in
EMS
needs.
These
are
only
the
top
10
primary
patient
Impressions
that
were
identified
by
our
paramedics,
which
Encompass
over
50
percent
of
our
overall
EMS
responses.
F
Cardiac
related
issues
such
as
chest
pain,
dysrhythmia,
hypertension,
increased
by
19
percent.
We
also
noted
that
traumatic
injuries
increased
by
about
20
percent.
Together
these
two
types
of
patient
Impressions
accounted
for
over
one-third
of
the
increase
in
total
electronic
patient
care
reports
in
that
last
fiscal
year.
F
Traumatic
injuries
can
be
related
back
to
our
point
about
an
aging
population,
as
many
of
these
injuries
could
be
associated
with
trips
and
falls
in
December
of
2022.
Our
department
conducted
mandatory
training
for
all
sworn
personnel
for
proper
protocol
on
treatment
of
geriatric
EMS
patients,
focusing
on
how
to
conduct
patient
assessments
for
older
adults
and
unique
transport
movement.
F
Considerations
that
same
mandatory
training
also
covered
trauma-related
patient
care
focused
on
paramedic,
administration
of
pain,
medications,
spinal
motion,
restriction
to
protect
possible
injuries
to
the
neck
or
back,
and
a
focus
on
triage
criteria
for
motor
vehicle
accidents
in
March
of
2022.
The
EMS
division
attended
the
resuscitation
Academy
to
learn
new
techniques
on
high
performance
or
pit
crew
CPR,
including
coordinated
communication
amongst
Rescuers,
CPR
efficiency
and
choreography,
an
implementation
of
mechanical
chest
compression
devices.
F
You
can
see
in
the
upper
left-hand
picture
that
was
engine
8
presenting
here
during
a
city
council
invocation,
invited
by
council
member
Dev
Davis
at
the
time
where
we
displayed
high
performance
pit
crew
CPR,
utilizing
the
Lucas
chest
compression
device
in
February
of
2023.
The
department
submitted
a
proposal
for
a
FEMA
Grant
to
replace
over
half
of
our
current
inventory
of
lifepak
15
cardiac
monitors,
which
are
used
by
firefighter
paramedics
to
conduct
ECG
analysis.
F
Okay,
so
the
department
closely
monitors
the
monthly
performance
of
the
contracted
County
ambulance
provider,
rural
metro,
to
determine
operational
impacts
that
affect
the
department
response
times.
Several
factors
have
contributed
to
decreased
County
ambulance
availability,
mainly
Staffing
challenges.
F
Currently
there
is
a
national
shortage
of
paramedics
and
EMTs.
This
shortage
has
been
exacerbated
by
an
increase
in
Workforce
leave
due
to
illness
and
attrition.
The
contracted
ambulance
provider
submitted
plans
to
County
EMS,
outlining
strategies
on
utilization
of
supplemental
Staffing,
aggressive,
recruiting
tactics,
scholarships,
sign-on
bonuses
and
Partnerships
with
private
and
fire
resources
to
purchase
unit
hours.
F
F
Delays
are
multifactorial,
but
Ed
overcrowding
is
a
key
factor,
whether
because
of
high
volume,
High
Acuity
of
patients
or
the
inability
to
move
admitted
patients
through
care,
and
then
discharge
there's
also
been
a
system-wide
increase
in
call
volume.
As
stated
previously
in
this
report,
both
the
department
and
County
ambulance,
EMS
responses
have
increased
in
fiscal
years.
2122
the
increase
in
County
ambulance
call
volume
has
seen
a
corresponding
increase
in
ambulance
transports,
as
well
as
more
ambulances
are
responding
to
emergencies
and
transporting
patients
less.
F
F
F
F
F
F
B
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
thorough
report.
You
appreciate
the
way
you
were
able
to
condense
it
all
because
I
know
the
reports
like
13
Pages,
a
lot
of
information,
a
lot
of
data
appreciate
that
we're
going
to
go
to
public
comment,
but
before
we
go
there
and
then
we'll
come
back
to
the
committee
before
we
go,
there
are
just
two
things:
one
is
I
think
I
went
over
public
comment
as
it
relates
to
the
consent
calendar,
so
Blair
I
know
he's
listening,
we're
going
to
go
back
to
you
in
case
you're
curious.
B
So
my
apologies
for
that.
The
the
very
it's
more
just
Clarity,
if
you
put
the
the
previous
slide
back
on
the
screen
just
looking
at
these,
it's
not
even
a
question,
but
just
clarification.
So
if
you
look
at
the
the
triangle
by
Forest
Avenue,
the
one
by
Fruitdale,
those
are
both
hospitals
right,
I,
think
those
are
by
one
one's
by
Valley
Medical,
the
other
one.
That's.
B
B
F
G
Hit
pause
then.
Yes,
please
also
on
that
is
four
of
those
facilities
or
County
facilities,
especially
before
covid.
We
were
working
diligently
with
Santa
Clara
County
EMS
agency
to
try
to
reduce
or
figure
out
ways
to
reduce
the
calls,
especially
9-1-1
calls
that
we're
occurring
and
that's
what
we're
and.
G
B
I
I
What
I
can
do
is
I
can
offer
you
know
15
seconds
per
day
for
this
item
and
then
I
can
go
back
to
consent.
Can
we
you
want
to
work
that
way?
That's
fine!
Thank
you
dollar.
15
seconds
on
on
this
item.
You
just
spoke
to
thank
you
for
it,
a
real
good
luck
to
ourselves
in
in
defining
the
good
practices
of
9-1-1
and
all
the
future
one
ones
we're
going
to
work
with
like
three
one.
I
One:
we've
done
years
of
study
on
three
one,
one:
good
luck:
how
to
really
bring
it
out
to
its
full
potential
and
help
with
9-1-1
things
as
well
in
the
future.
Thank
you,
okay.
To
start
my
consent.
Calendar
comment.
Thank
you.
A
council
president
Jimenez
for
noticing
and
I
understand
as
Council
persons.
It
really
does
just
slip
your
minds
and
I
understand
that
for
you
to
catch
that
and
make
up.
Thank
you.
Incredibly,
there
are
important
items
on
the
consent.
I
Kent
calendar
that
I
hope
it
doesn't
become
a
habit
of
committees
to
over
override
the
consent
calendar
when
it's
there
there's
often
important
items
that
I
hope
you
can
always
remember
to
offer.
Ask
for
public
comment
on
because
it's
a
public
meeting
process
and
we
should
trust
public
comment
yeah
so
for
the
two
items
I
wanted
to
speak
to.
One
is
the
work
plans
through
June
and
I.
I
Guess:
Financial
police
reporting
thing
so
for
the
work
plan
things
the
two
items
I
wanted
to
mention
is
one:
is
military
equipment
yearly
reporting
police
department
across
the
city
across
the
bay
area
are
they're
making
this
big
pitch
to
really
explain
the
military
uses
of
their
Tech
they're
using
these
days
and
to
make
it
clear
to
the
public.
That's
really
good
in
this
time
of
war
with
Ukraine
and
such
step,
two
is
to
want
to
really
take
a
responsibility
for
more
accountable
practices.
I
B
I
I
B
E
If
you
can
talk,
tell
me
a
little
bit
more
about
you
know
if
you
only
have
one
person
working
on
it
and
it's
such
a
big
problem
I'm
just
wondering
what
could
be
helpful
in
terms
of
of
trying
to
address
that
issue,
because
if
we
have
our
our
you
know
our
department
going
to
provide
the
transport,
you
know
that
that's
really
increasing
quite
dramatically
and
so
I'm
just
wondering
you
know.
What
can
we
do
I
mean?
Do
we
need
to
look
at
other
types
of
solutions.
F
E
Are
are
there
any
models
or
examples
in
other
locations
that
that
you've
looked
at
that
are
working
because
I
don't
think
this
is
a
unique
problem
just
for
our
area,
but
certainly
other
areas
and
I'm
just
curious
as
to
looking
at
you
know,
community
of
practice.
You
know
what
other
areas
are
doing,
that
we
could
do
or
Pilot
or
what
have
you.
It
might
be
something
that
we
could
also
do
all.
J
Right,
council,
member
Robert
Sapien
fire
chief,
just
a
little
more
on
that
on
that
point
that
you
make
we
do
see.
Although
it's
it's
a
persisting
challenge,
that
is
the
paramedics
Staffing
shortage,
we
do
see
it
as
interim,
and
so
we
are
coming
up
with
short
and
medium-term
solutions.
I
think
the
longest
term
and
and
strategy
that
that
we'll
hope
to
to
make
permanent
is
to
establish
more
local
paramedic
trainings
and
offer
more
courses.
That
is
a
strategy
that
is
in
progress
right
now.
J
Currently
the
private
provider
is
using
a
program
called
earn.
While
you
learn
where
they're
sending
their
EMT
staff
to
paramedic
school,
which
is
starting
to
improve
their
numbers.
I
think
in
a
few
months,
they'll
realize
some
of
those
new
licenses
in
their
program
for
the
fire
department
we're
working
through
our
own
Staffing
challenges
through
a
couple
of
strategies.
One
is
lateral
recruitments
of
firefighter
paramedics
and
then
we'll
be
advancing
a
traditional
recruitment
as
well
in
the
middle
of
this
year.
J
So
there
are
a
few
strategies
in
place
to
try
to
shore
up
the
the
Staffing
shortage
as
far
as
the
transports
and
the
escorts.
Really
it's
going
to
be
something
that
we're
going
to
have
to
work
through
on
a
daily
basis
to
minimize
the
impacts,
but
also
hope
to
accelerate
those
other
strategies
that
are
going
to
improve
conditions
for
us.
Thank.
C
Thank
you
very
much
for
that
detailed
report.
The
question
I
was
going
to
ask
was
about
the
paramedics
and
you
already
addressed
that
one
so
I
really
like
that,
there's
a
bright
spot.
The
word
you
use,
but
that's
only
a
short-term
problem
or
an
interim
problem,
so
that's
very
I
would
say
satisfying
and
gratifying
that
you
have
that
strategy
under
control.
So
good
luck
with
that
and
thank
you
for
the
excellent
report.
Okay,.
B
F
B
And
so
it's
the
reason
I'm
asking
is
I'm
curious
if
the
existing
contract
sort
of
creates
allowances
or
foresees
some
of
these
issues
and
if
that's,
if
there's
openers
or
anything
that
that
we've
done
as
a
department
or
as
a
city,
to
try
to
get
language
in
there
to
to
sort
of,
because
I
know
we're
compensated
based
on
the
response
rate.
But
if
the
way,
if
the
way
they
are
operating
their
challenges
are
impacting
their
response
rates,
which
I
think
is
happening.
Obviously
we're
being
dinged
for
that.
But
I'm
curious.
F
That's
correct:
the
private
ambulance
contractor
is
held
to
the
same
technical
standards
as
we
are
when
it
comes
to
response
time.
Compliance
rates,
so
they
are
actually
find,
what's
called
liquidated,
damages
for
every
late
call
that
they
are
checked
off.
For
to
my
knowledge,
rural
metro
has
been
fine.
The
most
for
liquidated
damages
that
in
history
this
fiscal
year
than
they
have
previously,
so
they
are
facing
their
Staffing
challenges
and
their
inabilities
to
respond
to
Medical
emergencies
on
in
a
timely
manner,
and
they
are
being
penalized
for
it.
Monetarily
that's
correct.
G
Council
member
also,
we
use
a
program
that
looks
at
those
exemptions,
so
we
don't
get
fined
whether
there's
greater
alarms,
big
fires,
wind
events,
storm
events
and
also
these
BLS
ambulances,
where
we
need
to
go
in
with
our
paramedics.
We
asked
County
EMS
Agency
for
exemptions
for
those
and
usually
receive
them
as
well.
Okay,.
B
J
Add
those
are
those
are
in
the
agreement
that
we
have
between
the
county
and
the
city.
Now
we
have
really
worked
to
ensure
that
the
new
challenges
are
recognized
that
weren't
addressed
in
the
contract,
those
those
being
the
fire
department
transporting
more
and
the
fire
department
having
paramedic
escorts.
That
impact
our
response,
time
performance
and
then
I'll,
add
to
to
your
question
about
prospective
change,
as
the
County
does
look
to
renew
the
agreement
with
the
next
provider
or
or
come
up
with
a
new
agreement
for
a
new
ambulance
provider.
J
B
B
Okay,
all
right
and
then
can
you
remind
me
I,
think
I'm,
not
sure
if
my
recollection
serves
me
well,
but
I
think
some
years
back,
we
actually
had
a
discussion
I
think
maybe
in
this
committee
or
on
the
full
Council,
as
as
far
as
expanding
the
scope
of
the
fire
department,
since
we're
already
doing
some
of
this
right,
whether
we
can
actually
be
one
of
the
bidders
to
for
the
contract
for
the
county
contract.
If
you
will
is
that,
is
that
something
that's
on
the
table
in
your
mind
or
I
I.
J
B
Okay,
all
right
and
then
the
the
other
question
I
had
is
related
to
the
that
when,
when
paramedic
firefighter
is
say,
for
example,
an
ambulance
comes
and
and
and
they're
running,
late
or
whatever
it
may
be.
If
a
paramedic
firefighter
actually
with
ambulance
against
their
actually
jumps
in
the
ambulance
and
goes
to
the
hospital
with
the
with
rural
metro
that
engine
or
that
apparatus
or
whatever
it
may
be,
needs
to
go
pick
that
person
up
right
and
then
they
are.
F
That's
correct:
we
have
a
very
specific
Direction
and
utilize,
usually
coordinated
through
our
EMS
Field
coordinator,
to
have
the
unit
go
out
of
service
to
pick
up
the
firefighter
paramedic.
If
it's
within
a
certain
proximity
to
the
hospital
that
they
are
going
to.
If
it's
not
in
in
the
agreement
with
rural
metro,
they
are
supposed
to
coordinate
the
transportation
of
the
firefighter
paramedic
to
be
delivered
back
to
the
fire
station.
If
that's
the
case,
the
unit
will
go
BLS
or
or
EMT
level
service.
F
B
So
you
can
only
provide
so
so
that's
what
I
thought
was
explaining
the
report,
but
isn't
there
another
way?
I
mean
I
I.
This
is
going
to
be
a
silly
comment.
Right,
I
understand
it's
silly,
but
I
mean
get
them
a
lift
or
an
Uber
and
get
him
or
her
back
to
the
station
right
I
mean.
Isn't
there
like
another
way
that
the
department
can
facilitate
that
transport
back
without
taking
the
engine
or
the
apparatus
offline,
yeah.
F
That's
correct:
we
usually
rely
on
our
EMS
Field
coordinators
to
make
that
kind
of
game
time
decision.
Perhaps
Captain
Levins
can
speak
to
some
of
the
options
that
are
available
to
us,
but
we
do
utilize,
the
EMS
Field
coordinator
to
actually
help
transport
those
firefighter
paramedics
back
to
the
station
when
it
comes
to
utilizing
public
transportation
it
we
haven't
really
had
to
rely
on
that
too
much
between
our
partners
over
at
rural
metro
they've
been
able
to
facilitate
getting
those
firefighter
paramedics
back
to
the
station
in
a
pre-timely.
B
Manner,
yeah
and
that
was
sort
of
joking
right-
we're
not
good
I
mean,
but
but
my
point
was
just
to
emphasize,
but
but
even
if
that's
the
case,
if
Rural
Metro
is
actually
the
ambulance
is
taking
them
back
to
the
station
or
wherever
it
may
be,
I
mean
I.
Can't
I
can
only
imagine
that
that
exacerbates
their
response
times
elsewhere.
B
E
I,
don't
know
if
it's
so
much
a
question.
You
know
this
issue
issue
about
the
the
paramedics
and
the
EMS.
Services
has
been
a
problem.
I
mean
I
it
it
isn't
just
recently,
it's
been
for
quite
some
time
and
I
think
that
we
may
I
know
that
this
contract
goes
to
June
of
2024,
but
I
really
think
that
that
we
have
to
start
looking
at
it
in
a
in
a
different
way.
E
Think
we're
going
to
have
to
start
thinking
have
a
different
way
of
thinking
about
transport,
and
things
like
that,
because
you
know
you
only
have
so
many
who
are
able
to
even
bid
on
these
things.
And
then
you
have
consolidation
that
has
happened,
so
you
have
a
monopoly
on
who
bids
for
these
things,
and
then
you
get
what
you
get
so,
as
we
start
thinking
towards
next
year.
E
Hopefully
we
can
come
up
with
something
that
might
be
a
little
bit
more
creative
because
it's
not
sustainable
the
way
it
is
and
and
I
think
that
you
know
just
talking
to
you
know
my
friends
over
at
the
county
and
and
other
hospitals.
It
hasn't
been
that
that
good,
so
I
think
that
this
is
an
opportunity
to
try
to
address
some
of
these
issues,
but
not
just
for
for
ourselves,
but
for
the
whole
County
I
mean
it's,
it's
really.
It's
really
broad,
so
I
just
put
that
out
there
as
something
to
think
about.
B
J
We
hope
to
be
able
to
begin
to
to
provide
reporting
within
months
two
or
three.
The
RFP
will
be
released
relatively
quickly.
It's
it's.
Quite.
A
large
system
requires
quite
a
bit
of
infrastructure
for
a
new
awarded
bidder
to
be
able
to
stand
up
a
system,
and
so
things
are
moving
relatively
quickly
at
the
moment,
and
so
you
may
see
us
try
to
get
on
the
agenda
with
within
months
to
try
to
make
sure
that
that
the
opportunities
for
guidance
and
decision
are
there.
C
D
B
Yes,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
the
report
appreciate
it
all
right.
Next
we're
going
to
go
to
item
D2,
which
is
the
police
department,
operations
and
performance
bi-monthly
status
report.
We
have
a
lieutenant
Paul
Hamlin
Captain,
Jason,
Dwyer,
Captain,
Steve
Donahue
and
Captain
Jaime
Jimenez
no
relation,
but
I
always
wanted
to
say
that
every
time
you
come
up,
I
find
it
fascinating.
I,
don't
see
a
lot
of
folks
at
the
same
last
name,
it
actually
I,
don't
think
Polaris
wonderful,
go
ahead
and
get
started
whenever
you're
ready.
K
K
K
K
I
will
Begin
by
presenting
city-wide
crime
statistics
today,
I
will
be
presenting
our
Citywide
part,
one
UCR
crime,
stats
for
January
and
February
of
this
year,
compared
to
last
year's
numbers
for
January
and
February
you'll
notice,
a
small
to
moderate
decrease
in
robberies,
aggravated
assaults
and
burglaries,
but
a
400
percent
increase
in
homicides.
This
is
because,
with
small
number
sets,
any
increase
can
result
in
a
large
percentage
jump
due
to
the
fact
that
there
was
only
one
homicide
in
January
and
February
of
2022,
which
was
well
below
the
historical
average
for
those
two
months.
K
K
K
K
This
chart
shows
the
San
Jose
specific
work
items
except
for
the
bottom.
Two.
All
of
these
work
items
are
either
completed
or
in
process,
even
the
three
that
are
listed
as
in
process:
substandard
housing
study,
domestic
violence,
high-risk
response,
team
and
Vigilant
parent
training
have
been
implemented.
We
have
listed
them
as
in
process
because
they
are
ongoing
items.
K
K
At
this
time,
I
would
like
to
respectfully
recommend
that
my
reporting
on
the
status
of
the
gender-based
violence
response
and
strategy
work
plan
be
either
discontinued
or
reduced
from
bi-monthly
to
semi-annually,
due
to
the
fact
that
implementation
is
nearly
complete
and
has
reached
a
static
state
with
no
updates
expected
in
the
foreseeable
future,
either
way.
The
committee
will
continue
to
receive
the
sexual
assault
investigations
unit
annual
report
in
February,
which
includes
a
deep
dive
into
all
gender-based
crime
statistics
and
the
status
of
the
work
plan.
K
L
Good
afternoon
chairperson
Jimenez,
a
fellow
committee
members
and
members
of
the
mayor's
office
city,
attorney's
office
and
the
city
manager's
office
as
well,
my
name
is
Captain
Jason
Dwyer
I'm,
currently
assigned
to
the
Bureau
of
Investigations.
Part
of
that
responsibility
is
command
of
the
violent
crimes
unit,
which
has
three
sub
units,
including
gang
investigations,
unit,
the
assaults
unit
and
the
gun,
hazardous
offender
suppression
team.
L
So
I'll
briefly
go
over
these
neighborhoods
identified
in
each
division.
We
have
four
divisions
in
Patrol,
the
first
division:
Central
Division
consists
of
Genie
Avenue
Roosevelt
parked
10th
and
Williams
and
Julian
Street.
In
the
Foothill
Division.
We
have
Overfelt
a
Poco
way:
foxtail
Mayfair,
Valley
Palms,
as
well
as
San
Jose
Apartments,
the
Kolmar
area
and
we've
identified
two
emerging
areas,
including
Capital
Park
and
Plateau
Arroyo
Park.
L
So
the
first
map
here
is
Central
Division.
As
you
can
see,
the
gray
areas
are
an
opportunity
neighborhoods.
We
can
report
that
there
were
eight
incidents
in
January
and
February
that
were
gang-related
in
the
entire
division
of
central
we're
happy
to
report.
Zero
of
those
incidents
occurred
in
Opportunity
neighborhoods.
However,
there
was
one
gang-related
homicide
that
occurred
on
pepper
way,
which
is
in
the
area
of
Jackson
and
Berryessa,
which
really
is
not
close
to
any
of
the
opportunity.
Neighborhoods.
L
The
next
slide
is
Foothill
Division.
We
had
27
overall
gang-related
incidents
in
the
entire
Foothill
Division
in
January
and
February.
Three
of
those
incidents
occurred
in
Opportunity
neighborhoods,
specifically,
one
occurred
in
the
Kolmar
area
and
two
occurred
in
the
Poco
way
area.
There
were
no
homicides
in
the
Foothill
Division
during
January
I'm.
Sorry,
there
were
no
gang-related
homicides
in
the
Foothill
Division
during
January
or
February.
L
The
next
slide
is
Southern
division.
There
were
18
gang-related
incidents
in
January
and
February
in
the
southern
division.
Six
of
the
18
occurred
in
Opportunity
neighborhoods,
specifically,
one
occurred
in
the
Hoffman
villamante
area.
Three
occurred
in
the
round
table
Great
Oaks
area
and
two
occurred
in
the
Seven
Trees
area,
and
there
were
no
gang-related
homicides
in
the
southern
division
in
January
and
February.
L
And
finally,
the
Western
Division
in
Western
Division
in
January
and
February
there
were
21
gang-related
incidents
throughout
the
entire
division.
Five
of
those
occurred
in
Opportunity
neighborhoods,
specifically
one
occurred
in
the
Cadillac
Winchester
area.
One
occurred
in
the
owsley
Clements
area,
two
occurred
in
the
Santee
Phelan
area
and
one
occurred
in
the
Washington
and
Alma
area.
M
B
N
Good
afternoon,
so
my
name
is
Steve
Donahue
I'm,
the
captain
of
the
Southern
division
in
Patrol
and
joining
me
today
is
Captain
Jaime
Jimenez
from
our
Support
Services
Division.
We're
going
to
be
speaking
today
about
our
Department's
efforts
in
pre-trial
release
since
April
2022.
The
city
has
committed
to
have
an
intentional
engagement
with
key
stakeholders
across
jurisdictions
to
leverage
strengths,
information
and
data
required
to
formulate
a
long-term
sustainable
solution
to
the
problem
of
dealing
with
high-risk
individuals
and
repeat
offenders.
N
Efforts
were
focused
in
June
2022
and
a
joint
meeting
took
place
in
September
between
this
committee
and
the
Santa
Clara
County
public
safety
and
Justice
committee.
Now,
while
the
joint
meeting
was
successful
in
building
relationships
and
identifying
some
key
takeaways
that
would
further
our
efforts
of
memorandum
from
former
vice
mayor
Jones
in
2022,
provided
five
points
of
Direction
specific
Direction.
N
So
stakeholder
meetings
took
place
in
December
through
March
and
leading
us
to
this
update,
where
we
will
bring
you
up
to
speed
on
our
efforts
and
where
we
are
headed.
The
direction
from
former
vice
mayor
Jones
had
five
main
points.
As
listed
on
this
Slide.
The
first
three
had
to
do
with
what
we
are
calling
bail
reform.
Now,
we've
completed
those
three
directives,
but
we're
still
working
through
the
process
of
making
substantive
changes
from
them.
N
N
Now
our
approach
was
to
bifurcate
the
responsibilities
for
addressing
the
issues
laid
out
in
the
direction,
and
in
doing
so,
we
were
able
to
simultaneously
allocate
assets
to
both
aspects.
My
predecessor,
Captain
machit,
who
happens
to
be
here
today
and
I,
took
on
Bill
reform
and
while
Captain
Jimenez
took
on
alternatives
to
arrest
now
we
called
my
side
bail
reform,
but
it's
not
actually
about
reforming
bail
amounts
or
costs.
N
We
convened
a
meeting
of
all
stakeholders
listed
on
the
slide
you
see
on
the
screen
now
now.
We
quickly
learned,
however,
that
the
three
stakeholders
on
the
right
do
not
need
to
be
part
of
the
spill
reform
conversation.
All
three
are
involved
in
pre
or
post
incarceration,
while
bail
reform
is
more
about
whether
or
not
there
should
be
incarceration
prior
prior
to
trial.
So
in
the
meetings
we
discuss,
bail
limits
and
Community
needs
for
keeping
people
in
custody.
We
also
discussed,
what's
called
or
is
when
someone
is
released
on
their
own
recognizance.
N
This
means
they're
released
from
custody
prior
to
trial,
with
charges
against
them.
Pending
the
decision
to
release,
someone
is
based
on
three
main
factors:
the
bail
schedule,
state
law
and
a
threat
assessment
in
Santa
Clara
County.
We
use
the
public
safety
assessment
tool,
which
is
a
proprietary
assessment
that
estimates
the
likelihood
of
three
things:
first,
failure
to
appear
in
court;
second,
new
Criminal
arrests,
while
on
pre-trial
release
and
third
new
violent
criminal
arrests,
while
on
pre-trial
release.
N
So
to
do
this,
the
tool
looks
at
the
current
offense,
the
age
of
the
offender,
the
pending
charges
and
their
prior
offenses
violence
weighs
heavier
than
non-violence
and
failures
to
appear
way,
heavier
than
appearances.
Ultimately,
every
defendant
is
given
a
score
on
this
assessment
tool
that
score
is
used
to
factor
or
use
to
help
factor
in
on
and
decide
whether
or
not
they
should
be
released
on
their
own
recognizance.
N
On
March
25th
2021
bail
changed
throughout
the
state
of
California
due
to
a
decision
by
the
California
Supreme
Court
ruling
it
unconstitutional
to
hold
someone
in
custody
solely
because
they
are
unable
to
pay
bail.
You
may
have
heard
bail
hearings
called
Humphrey
hearings,
but
they're
not
actually
separate
hearings.
They
can
occur
throughout
the
judicial
process
and,
for
example,
they're
often
at
the
first
setting
of
bail,
which
is
also
called
the
arraignment,
and
but
they
can
be
at
any
subsequent
bail
hearing
the
bail
schedule
is
not
changed
and
the
process
of
bail
is
not
changed.
N
So
from
all
the
meetings
and
stakeholder
import,
we've
narrowed
down
the
solution
to
three
solid
things.
First,
we
need
to
improve
relationships
and
communication
between
the
stakeholders.
This
is
done
through
continued
meetings
and
working
together
to
change
the
Affidavit
of
probable
cause
form.
That's
number
two:
we
need
to
improve
the
Affidavit
of
probable
cause
form
now
right
now
it
provides
a
very
small,
rarely
used
free-form
area
describing
why
bail
should
be
increased
or
why
the
subject
poses
an
ongoing
threat
to
the
public.
N
The
information
presented
in
this
area
is
often
insufficient
to
adequately
inform
a
judge
to
make
a
decision
on
increased
bail,
so
the
forms
being
redeveloped
to
ensure
sufficient
information
is
provided
to
judges
to
make
sound
bail
decisions.
Presently,
the
draft
form
is
with
the
Santa
Clara
County
District
Attorney's
Office,
pending
their
input
on
revisions
and
formatting,
we'll
continue
to
work
through
this,
oh
I'm,
sorry
and
train.
N
Now
we'll
continue
to
work
through
this
three-prong
approach
to
ensure
that
we
have
a
long-term,
sustainable
solution
to
the
problem
of
of
detaining
high-risk
individuals
and
repeat
offenders
before
I
conclude
and
pass
it
to
my
colleague
I
want
to
let
the
committee
know
that
this
item
regarding
inter-agency
coordination
or
pre-trial
release
was
originally
scheduled
to
be
presented
to
this
Committee
in
June.
However,
the
memorandum
submitted
by
former
vice
mayor
Jones
directed
the
department
to
report
back
to
this
Committee
in
April
preempting
that
June
report
so
you're
hearing
it
now.
O
O
The
work
group
is
exploring
solutions
to
minimize
the
frequency
of
citations
or
arrest
scenarios,
and
we
go
through
the
next
slides
really
quickly,
but
I'm
going
to
have
you
focus
on
the
X,
as
indicated
by
the
Red
X,
many
persons
may
suffer
from
mental
illness
and
substance
abuse.
However,
this
group
of
individuals
has
not
committed
a
crime
here.
The
group
of
the
group
suffers
from
substance
abuse,
which
may
be
a
factor
in
committing
a
crime.
O
O
O
O
We
know
that
we
will
find
a
prevention
intervention
opportunities
to
mitigate
the
need
to
conduct
enforcement
without
prevention,
intervention,
mental
illness
and
substance
abuse
can
lead
to
a
person
being
held
on
a
mental
health
hold
or
result
in
an
arrest.
Therefore,
the
group
is
working
to
allow
DUI
cases
to
be
cited
and
released
to
re-entry
services
and
I
know
it
says
diversion
up
there,
but
I
think
the
that's
a
not
a
legal
term.
O
While
this
is
an
idea,
there
have
been
actions
taken
to
connect
persons
to
services.
Some
changes
implemented
by
the
team
are
one.
The
San
Jose
police
Transit
unit
has
been
working
with
the
Mission
Street
Recovery
Center
to
refer
persons
suffering
from
mental
illness
and
or
substance
abuse.
In
the
last
three
weeks,
the
San
Jose
police
officers
assigned
to
the
Berryessa
BART
station
have
transported
11
individuals
to
the
center.
There's,
no
doubt
that
the
actions
of
the
officers
in
the
service
offered
by
the
re-entry
Center
had
a
positive
impact
on
the
persons.
O
O
O
Before
I
go
to
questions,
I
think
I'm
I
got
one
slide
ahead
of
myself.
This
is
going
to
be
the
last
slide.
We
are
confident
that
by
aligning
the
group's
values
we'll
be
able
to
identify
several
action
items
that
will
benefit
our
communities
through
inclusion
of
our
partners,
we
can
identify
and
pilot
solutions
that
balance
the
needs
of
our
community
and
limit
mentally
ill
and
persons
who
suffer
from
substance
abuse
from
being
Justice
involved
through
increased
use
of
our
services.
O
B
I
I
So
thank
you
for
that.
It
helps.
Hopefully
these
are
the
sort
of
conversations
you're
having
with
San
Jose
rips
about
these
sort
of
things,
how
to
negotiate.
You
call
things
bail
reform,
but
we've
already
started
a
bail
reform
program.
You
should
perhaps
consider
a
something
like
reforming,
bail
reform,
that's
a
little
silly,
but
something
along
those
terms
as
we're
we're
we're
we're
re-reaffirming,
reaffirming
bail,
reform,
I,
guess
so.
I
Good
luck
in
those
efforts
and
yeah
and
already
started
bail,
reform
process
and
I
wanted
to
also
comment
that,
interestingly,
to
start
to
speak
directly
to
how
to
address
sjpoa
issues,
we
started
a
peer
review
program
after
the
George
Floyd
things
that
went
in
specifically
into
domestic
violence
issues
at
the
county
level,
I
think
and
around
health
concerns
in
reporting.
Health
Department.
I
Is
there
a
way
to
consider
how
to
bring
back
a
police
peer
review
program
in
full
and
when
it's
an
original
intentions
are
and
how
it
can
work
as
a
therapeutic
process
after
cases
and
for
police
overall
to
have
better
dialogue?
Conversation
with
each
other,
make
things
clear
for
each
other,
it's
a
great
way
to
offer
oversight
and
for
each
other
and
just
keeping
in
touch
and
and
doing
concepts
with
a
great
deal
more
care
and
openness.
Thank
you.
P
Good
afternoon
Catherine
Hedges
here,
thank
you
very
much
and
I
don't
really
have
prepared
to
Mars,
but
I'd
like
to
second
everything
that
Blair
just
said,
and
it's
really
important
that
we
continue
to
focus
on
alternative
incarceration
alternatives
to
arrest
and
basically
just
getting
the
police
out
of
things
that
are
not
where
police
need
to
be
involved.
Thank
you
very
much.
E
Thank
you
thank
you
for
the
report
and
and
thank
you
for
all.
You
do
each
and
every
day-
and
you
know
it's
as
I
begin
to
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
the
work
that
you
do.
There
are
a
lot
of
complexities
in
it,
so
I
totally
understand
all
of
the
different
nuances
of
of
the
percentages,
and
all
of
that
I
will
say
that
I
for
one
am
very
concerned
about
the
information
on
the
gender-based
violence
response.
You
know
the
fact
that
on
a
five-year
average
and
I
know
it
is
a
five-year
average.
E
Rape
has
gone
up
quite
dramatically
and
I
just
think
that
it's
something
that
I'd
like
to
continue
to
follow.
I
know.
One
of
your
requests
was
to
either
discontinue
or
at
minimum
due
semi-annual
reporting.
I'd
really
like
to
watch
this
because
I
think
that
sometimes,
even
though
something
is
completed,
it's
not
done
so
at
minimum
I
I
certainly
would
would
like
to
see
it
semi-annually
report
it
to
the
committee,
because
I
think
that
if
the
trend
continues
in
the
direction
that
it
is,
it's
not
good.
E
E
E
We
looked
at
it
and
we're
done
we're
not
really
done
so
I'd
like
to
kind
of
keep
it
on
the
radar
and
I
know
that
you
have
a
few
things
that
are
pending
so
I'd
like
to
I'd
like
to
at
least
see
you
know
what
do
you
do
with
it,
and,
and
that
would
be
very
helpful
for
me
in
terms
of
the
other
items.
I
I
see
that
on
the
status
of
the
pre-trial
release,
you
know
it
seems
to
give
good
outcomes.
E
I
think
that
we
should
continue
to
follow
those
outcomes
and
and
see
how
how
it
works.
I'm,
really
delighted
that
that
it
seems
to
offer
a
better
alternative,
and
so
thank
you
for
doing
that,
and
you
know
I
know
that
former
vice
mayor
Jones
also
followed
this
carefully.
So
I
just
appreciate
it
and
keep
up
keep
up
that
good
work.
So,
thank
you
for
that.
C
Thank
you
for
the
detailed
report
and
especially
the
breakdown
of
the
stats
in
different
areas.
A
question
I
have
for
is
number
one.
Wiseman
covered
the
rape
area.
I
want
to
ask
about
the
vehicle
theft,
which
seems
to
be
on
the
rise,
or
is
it
on
the
rise?
So
I
would
like
some
comment.
Explanation
on
the
direction
you
see
it
going
or
the
actions
which
may
be
needed
to
make
the
community
feel
that
their
vehicles
are
safe
and
they
are
safe.
K
Yeah,
yes,
vehicle
theft
goes
up
and
down
literally
from
month
to
month
it's
very
cyclical,
January
and
February
typically
is
a
a
high
part
of
the
of
the
year,
and
it
goes
down
from
year
to
to
next
and
then
up
the
next
year.
So
it's
it's
a
very
difficult
one
to
track.
I
wouldn't
say
that
it's
necessarily
trending
upward,
specifically
overall,
okay.
K
Yeah.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
your
your
question.
Yeah.
We
don't
look
at
it
as
as
being
par
for
the
course.
We
definitely
have
a
lot
of
people
working
on
it.
We
we
definitely
stress
it
with
our
Patrol
officers
to
be
vigilant
and,
and
it's
something
that
we
definitely
stress
in
our
community
meetings.
Whenever
we
we
attend
communities,
Community
meetings,
especially
meetings
where
we
do
see
a
lot
of
vehicle
thefts.
This
is
something
we
talk
about
every
single
time.
We
talk
about
prevention
methods.
We
talk
about
the
Cycles.
K
C
C
L
Thank
you
for
that
comment.
Council
member
Jason
Dwyer
from
the
Bureau
of
Investigations.
So
the
short
answer
to
your
question
is:
there's
a
there's,
a
great
deal
of
collaboration
that
goes
into
what
I
would
say,
keeping
the
pressure
on
active
gang
members
that
are
committing
crimes
of
violence
and
property
crimes.
That
includes
enforcement,
not
only
through
the
violent
crimes
enforcement
team,
which
is
the
Department's
gang
unit
at
the
patrol
level.
L
A
tremendous
amount
of
when
I
was
the
southern
division
captain
and
my
my
colleagues,
we
we
had
regular
foot
Patrols
in
Project,
hope,
neighborhoods,
Hoffman,
viamante,
the
round
Roundtable
and
Seven
Trees,
specifically,
those
were
the
three
that
I
I
put
most
of
the
resources
into,
because
those
were
the
ones
that
generated
the
most
calls
for
service
pertaining
to
gangs.
We
do
collaborate
closely
with
the
Youth
Empowerment
Alliance,
formerly
known
as
the
mayor's
game
prevention
task
force.
L
You
know
we
we
listen
to
their
what
what
are
called
ccit
cd-wide
Crisis,
Intervention
teams.
These
are
Outreach
and
interventionists
that
go
out
into
the
schools,
the
feeder
schools
and
try
to
basically
put
their
finger
on
the
pulse
of.
What's
going
on
in
those
neighborhoods
and
share
that
information
with
law
enforcement,
so
there's
there's
an
ounce
of
prevention
there
as
opposed
to
responding
to
a
crime
that
has
already
happened
and
all
the
other
non-governmental
organizations
community-based,
faith-based
organizations
that
are
out
there
in
the
neighborhoods
holding
open
gyms.
L
L
Sometimes
the
interventionists
that
are
with
the
the
Youth
Empowerment
Alliance
are
able
to
handle
it
at
their
level,
but
there
are
a
lot
of
resources
that
go
into
that
and
then,
on
top
of
that
within
the
Bureau
of
Investigations,
we
do
have
the
gang
investigations
unit.
We
do
attend
monthly
meetings,
their
information
sharing
meetings
and
really
the
purpose
of
that
information
is
to
prevent
further
violence.
L
C
B
L
L
If,
if
you
wanted
to
take
a
separate
type
of
crime,
perhaps
possession
of
a
Narcotics
or
possession
of
a
firearm,
some
of
those
are
considered
Gang
Related.
If
they
can
draw
that
Nexus,
some
of
them
can
be
be
called
getting
motivated.
If
that
person
were
to
give
a
statement
to
the
effect
that
I
carry
this
gun
because
I'm
a
gang
member
and
I'm
going
to
use
it
in
the
name
of
the
game,.
B
L
L
That's
a
separate
issue
and,
like
I
said
no
one
person
makes
that
decision
in
a
vacuum.
It's
a
meeting
that
takes
place
between
Lieutenant
Gino
gular
in
the
gang
investigations
unit
and
Lieutenant,
Ali
Miri
and
the
homicide
unit
and
oftentimes.
You
know
that
that
decision
is
run
up
to
chain
of
command
and
communicated
so
that
we
get
multiple
eyes
on
that
decision,
so
that
we're
reporting
that
data
accurately
okay.
B
All
right,
very
good.
Thank
you.
The
other
question
I
had
was
related
to
the
work
that
I
think
was
directed
by
as
Captain
Donahue,
say
directed
by
Council
vice
mayor
Jones
back
back
last
year.
The
bail
reform
is
the
one
I
have
questions
on,
and
so
I
I
very
I
appreciated
the
way
you
just
you
sort
of
went
through
and
described
this.
It
made
it
very
easy
to
understand.
B
Just
the
question
I
have
is
you
know
you
took
us
up
to
the
point
where
some
things
were
identified
by
all
well
before
I
get
there.
You
pointed
out
all
the
folks
that
were
involved
right,
public
defenders,
DA's
office,
and
then
you
said
these
other
three
aren't,
that's
fine.
Would
you
I
don't
know
if
it
was
you
yourself
in
these
conversations,
but
what
I'm
curious
about
is?
Would
you
say
that
all
those
stakeholders
preach
how
Services
May
in
jail
the
judges
public
defender,
County
Executive?
N
When
we,
when
we
first
tackled
the
problem,
it
came
out
in
September
prior
to
September,
when
we
had
that
big
meeting
between
the
two
committees
right
between
this
committee
and
and
the
county,
and
when
we
went
into
that,
we
were
under
the
impression
that
there
was
several
stages
in
the
process
at
which
the
determination
of
bail
is
made
right.
Did
it
did
it
happen
when
the
subject
got
booked?
Did
it
happen
at
the
first
arraignment?
Did
it
happen?
Did
the
judges
make
the
decision?
N
N
It's
set
by
the
Judiciary
and
it's
reviewed
every
year,
and
it
is
what
it
is
that
bill
schedule
doesn't
change,
that
we
learned
that
judges
have
to
make
decisions
based
on
whether
or
not
the
subject
can
afford
the
bail
that's
prescribed
to
them,
which
is
these
Humphrey
hearings
and
that's
where
the
variation
comes
in
now,
when
judges
make
those
decisions
they're
using
the
these
documents
that
are
presented
to
them
to
make
the
decisions
like
what
is
that
person's
criminal
history?
How
many
times
have
they
failed
to
appear
right?
N
What
is
their
score
on
the
assessment
tool?
Okay?
So
initially
we
thought
there
was
a
lot
more
causes
to
the
problem,
but
what
it
all
boiled
down
to
is
the
idea
that
they
don't
have
enough
information
to
say
this
person's
an
ongoing
threat
to
the
public.
So
we
said:
okay!
Well,
how
do
we
get
that
to
them?
Well,
it
boiled
down
to
this
one
form
that
they
get
called
the
Affidavit
of
probable
cause.
Saying:
hey!
Look!
If
we
give
you
better
information
on
this
form
judges.
N
Can
you
make
a
more
informed
decision
and
be
able
to
keep
someone
in
custody
if
they
pose
an
ongoing
threat
and
they
said
absolutely
if
we
have
that
info,
so
that
shifted
our
Focus
now
over
to
this
form?
Okay,
how
are
we
going
to
edit
this
form,
make
it
user
friendly,
so
every
police
officer
in
the
entire
County
can
understand
it
and
Mark
it
correctly.
How
can
we
make
it
informative
for
the
judges
so
that
they
can
use
the
information?
N
B
Q
B
Good,
okay,
very
good
that
helps
me
better
understand
it
and
so
to
the
other
question
I
had
related
to
this
is
so
now
we've
had
these
conversations.
We've
come
to
an
agreement,
it
seems
on
okay,
these
are
the
issues
you
know
relationships.
Communication
training,
form
revisions,
training.
It
seems
obviously
we're
only
able
to
do
the
training
as
it
relates
to
the
officers.
The
department
right
form.
Revisions.
That's
in
the
Judiciary
now
the
relationships,
the
community
communication.
N
I
I,
if
you
allow
me
the
the
form
is
actually
happening
outside
of
the
Judiciary.
Okay,
we're
preparing
it
for
them.
Okay,
so
we
at
San,
Jose
PD,
made
a
list
of
all
the
things
we
should
be
included
on
the
form
we
give
that
to
the
DA's
office.
Now
they
say:
okay,
we're
going
to
format
the
form
and
add
our
two
cents
right.
So
that's
where
it
is
right
now
then
they're
going
to
work
with
County
Executive
to
make
that
form
come
to
fruition.
Okay,
so
that
communication
is
happening
as
we
speak.
N
As
a
matter
of
fact,
I
talked
to
Marissa
McEwen
about
it
today
and
where
the
form
was
just
to
make
sure
that
nothing's
changed
since
I
had
prepared
the
presentation,
we're
still
with
them,
reformatting
the
the
formatting
on
the
form
so
moving
forward.
The
training
is
going
to
happen
between
our
agency
and
the
officers
right
between
our
agency
and
the
relationship
with
the
District
Attorney's
office,
with
the
county
executive
with
pre-trial
services
with
the
Santa
Clara
County
Sheriffs
and
all
of
us
are
collaborating
together.
B
Good
I
think
it's
important.
It's
a
complicated
system
right,
there's
a
lot
of
moving
parts
to
its
the
justice
system,
so
I
think
it's
very
important
for
everyone
to
be
on
the
same
page.
So
I
appreciate
that
and
in
the
very
last
question
related
to
this
is
you're.
Obviously
the
southern
division
captain
now
so
it
was
councilor
about
that.
I
was
talking
he's
talking
to
the
guy.
That's.
A
All
right,
yeah
and
I
would
just
say
the
city
manager's
office
and
County
Executive
have
been
engaged
on
this.
We've
really
had
the
alphabet
soup
of
all
agencies
involved
and
I
I
do
agree
with
what
the
captain
is
saying
that
I
think
we're
really
close,
but
again
you
know
come
you
know
we
had
several
different
directions
from
that
joint
meeting
around
rearrestes
bail
schedule,
a
variety
of
things
and
kind
of
the
pinch.
A
Point
really
did
come
down
to
the
position
our
Judiciary
was
being
put
in
and
needing
to
make
decisions
without
proper
information,
and
so,
in
addition
to
what
the
captain
has
laid
out.
Part
of
the
legislative
guiding
principles
that
you
adopted
as
a
council
in
the
fall
gave
us
certain
discretion
to
see
if
there
were
ways
that
the
state
legislature
to
to
allow
judges
to
have
just
more
information
to
some
of
this
data
outside
of
the
changes
that
we
make
around
this
form.
Okay,
wonderful,.
B
In
my
general
perspective
of
all
this,
is
it
should
be
done
objectively
by
all
the
parties
and
and
what
I
fear
sometimes
as
a
politician
myself
is
that
sometimes
he
gets
caught
up
in
the
political,
Fray
and
and
I
get
concerned
that
that
is
what
sometimes
is
the
undercurrent
of
some
of
this,
and
so
I
appreciate
you
sharing
that
it
was.
You
know
that
the
alphabet
soup
of
agencies
and
people
present,
because
to
me,
that's
very
important,
especially
for
the
justice
system,
for
it
to
be
blind.
B
If
you
will
and
just
be
very
objective,
the
only
last
thing
I
would
say
is
I
agree
with
vice
mayor
kame,
about
the
semi-annual
report
on
on
some
of
the
gender
violence
related
stuff.
I
think
that's
probably
the
best
way
to
go.
I
wouldn't
like
to
see
it
go
away
either
and
I
suspected.
That
would
probably
be
the
will
of
the
of
the
folks
up
here,
even
though
we're
missing
some
people
and
so
I.
That's
all
my
questions.
Whatever
motion
emerges,
you
have
a
question.
O
But
we
didn't
give
a
deadline.
We
want
to
just
continually
work
to
improve
the
process
and
whatever
that
time
it
is
the
the
partners
are
invested
in
doing
just
that.
So
we
we
didn't
answer
that
question
in
this
presentation,
because
we
just
don't
know,
and
we
want
to
do
it
as
soon
as
possible
and
that's
why
we're
meeting
with
such
frequency.
O
C
And
I
I
agree
that
this
is
a
very
important
topic
and
it's
going
to
have
a
large
impact
on
in
many
ways,
because
the
more
you're
able
to
divert
from
arrest
that's
going
to
make
that
much
better.
The
the
ones
which
are
rest
cases
are
more
effectively
handled
and,
and
also
incarceration,
is
not
the
best
thing
for
the
community
for
inappropriate
cases.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
pursuing
this
one
and
giving
it
the
proper
attention
it
deserves.
Thank
you,
sir.
D
C
B
B
Before
we
move
on
to
the
last
item
I'll
just
for
for
those
of
you
that
maybe
want
to
speak
on
open,
Forum
I
think
now
is
an
appropriate
time,
maybe
submit
a
card
if
you
haven't
already,
but
just
wanted
to
put
that
out
there.
Thank
you
so
much
for
being
present
for
the
presentation
we're
going
to
move
and
I
suspect.
Maybe
some
of
you
may
stay
next
we're
going
to
go
to
item
D3
military
equipment,
annual
report
I
think
we
have
Captain
matchett
who's,
going
to
be
talking
a
little
bit
about
that.
S
S
So
there
are
14
categories
of
military
equipment
as
defined
by
assembly
Bill
481
category
1
military
equipment
consists
of
unmanned
remotely
piloted
powered
aerial
or
ground
vehicles.
The
department
has
33
such
devices,
21
of
those
are
unmanned.
Aerial
vehicles
and
12
are
ground
vehicles
and
you
can
see
they
are
pictured
off
to
the
right
there.
S
S
Category
2
military
equipment
consists
of
mine
resistant
Ambush.
Excuse
me
ambush
protected
amrap
vehicles
or
armored
personnel
carriers.
We
have
one
such
vehicle
in
our
inventory.
The
annual
cost
is
estimated
at
sixty
five
hundred
dollars.
The
amount
of
deployments
we
had
in
the
six
months
was
three
and
just
to
break
that
down
a
little
bit.
One
was
for
a
community
meeting,
one
deployment
was
used
in
training
and
the
third
was
used
during
a
critical
incident
where
we
had
a
barricaded
subject
and
we
utilized
this
vehicle
to
protect
the
officers
and
the
community.
S
Category
three
military
equipment
consists
of
high
Mobility
multi-purpose,
wheeled
Vehicles,
commonly
referred
to
as
Humvees
two
and
one
half
ton
trucks,
five
ton
trucks
or
wheeled
vehicles
that
have
a
breaching
apparatus.
We
have
three
such
vehicles
in
our
inventory.
Our
estimated
annual
cost
to
maintain
these
vehicles
is
about
nineteen
thousand
five
hundred
dollars.
S
We
had
30
deployments
in
the
six
months
covering
this
report.
You
can
see
the
two
vehicles
pictured
there
get
a
great
deal
of
use
during
those
critical
incidents.
Typically,
when
we're
serving
high
risk
search
warrants
or
dealing
with
barricaded
subjects,
it
provides
a
platform
from
which
our
officers
can
protect
themselves,
as
well
as
be
a
visual
deterrent
and
presence
in
front
of
the
location
where
the
incident
is
occurring.
S
Category
4
military
equipment
consists
of
tracked
armored
vehicles
that
provide
ballistic
protection
to
their
occupants
and
utilize.
A
tracked
system
instead
of
wheels
for
forward
motion.
We
don't
have
any
vehicles
of
this
kind
in
our
inventory,
but
pictured
off
to
the
right
is
a
vehicle
called
a
rook
and
it
is
included
in
our
military
equipment
guidelines
as
a
wish
list
item
for
potential
future
purpose
or
purchase.
S
Category
five
military
equipment
consists
of
command
and
control
vehicles
that
are
either
built
or
modified
to
facilitate
the
operational
control
and
direction
of
Public
Safety
units.
We
have
six
such
vehicles
in
our
inventory.
Estimated
annual
cost
to
maintain
the
vehicles
is
approximately
eighteen
thousand
one
hundred
and
twenty
dollars.
During
the
six
months
covering
this
report,
we
had
48
deployments.
S
These
types
of
vehicles
get
a
great
deal
of
use,
considering
that
we
can
operate
from
inside
them
with
Communications
to
officers
on
the
scene,
as
well
as
providing
a
platform
for
other
command
type
activities.
You'll
see
these
vehicles
out
at,
like
I,
said
critical
incidents
and
special
events
throughout
the
city.
S
S
Category
seven
military
equipment
consists
of
battering
rams,
slugs
breaching
apparatus
and
that
are
explosive
in
nature.
We
have
various
Dimension
and
numbers
of
these
types
of
equipment.
It's
not
easy
to
really
discern
the
amount
considering
they
come
in,
like
I,
said
various
Dimensions
feet
and
and
numbers
as
you
can
see,
pictured
below
in
terms
of
the
the
cord
material.
S
One
was
for
a
training
deployment
and
twice
during
a
critical
incident,
so
this
type
of
material
can
be
placed
on
a
door
or
a
gate,
to
provide
a
kinetic
charge
to
force
that
door
or
gate
open
and
considering
that
it
often
takes
a
lot
of
time
for
police
officers
to
breach
four
to
five
door
fortified
doors.
This
type
of
equipment
is
necessary
to
protect
the
officers
and
to
keep
them
from
a
position
where
they
may
be
targeted
during
prolonged
breaching
conditions.
S
S
S
The
annual
cost
for
firearms
and
animation
ammunition
is
estimated
at
345
134
dollars
during
the
six-month
period
I'm
reporting
on.
We
had
zero
deployments.
However,
the
period
prior
to
this
report
in
June,
we
had
one
deployment
and
we
had
a
recent
deployment
of
this
type
of
weapon
in
March
of
this
year
and
those
deployments
will
be
covered
during
the
annual
report
covering
2023.
S
S
S
Military
equipment
consists
of
flashbang
grenades
and
explosive,
breaching
tools,
tear
gas
and
pepper
balls,
excluding
standard
Service
issued
handheld
pepper
spray.
We
have
about
1336
pieces
of
this
type
of
equipment,
annual
estimated
cost
to
equip
ourselves
and
maintain.
It
is
about
thirty
one
thousand
three
hundred
dollars.
We
had
27
deployments
and
the
overwhelming
piece
of
equipment
that
we
deployed
the
27
times
where
the
flashbang
grenades.
Those
are
a
typical
device
that
we
use
as
a
distraction
on
a
critical
incident
where
there
is
generally
a
barricaded
suspect
who
is
refusing
to
surrender.
S
All
right
category
13
military
equipment
consists
of
the
taser
shock,
wave
microwave
weapons,
water
cannons
and
the
long
range
acoustic
acoustic
device
called
the
lrad.
We
have
seven
of
these
types
of
equipment,
estimated
annual
cost
five
thousand
dollars
deployments
were
thirteen,
and
we
use
this
for
police
activity
to
provide
announcements
for
suspects
to
surrender
and
not
covered
in
this
six-month
period
are
the
deployments
we
used
during
the
flood
events
in
January
and
March
to
provide
public
announcements
along
the
waterways
for
warnings
to
people
who
may
be
living
along
those
waterways
to
evacuate.
S
Category
14
military
equipment
consists
of
projectile
launch
platforms
and
their
Associated
munitions,
40
millimeter,
projectile,
launcher
stun
bag,
rubber
bullet
and
specially
impact
munition
Sim
weapons.
We
have
256
launchers,
approximately
3
356
munitions.
Estimated
annual
cost
is
at
twenty
three
thousand
four
hundred
fifty
dollars.
We
had
16
deployments
of
this
weapon
and
weapon
systems.
This
is
a
critical
piece
of
equipment
for
incapacitating
individuals
as
a
less
lethal
Force
option.
It
works
quite
well
and
we've
had
these
types
of
systems
in
our
inventory
for
quite
some
time.
S
S
S
Part
of
this
Law
requires
that
we
report
out
on
complaints
with
respect
to
military
equipment.
We
had
three
complaints
for
the
six-month
period,
I'm
reporting
on
one
regarding
the
use
of
the
stunback
shotgun
one
regarding
the
display
of
the
sun,
stun
bag
shotgun
and
one
regarding
the
use
of
a
flashbang
device.
S
R
S
Police
Department
could
remain
participation
or
our
participation
could
remain
in
this
program.
It
is
a
program
that
allows
for
the
Surplus
items
from
the
military
to
be
transferred
to
law
enforcement
agencies.
We
have
not
acquired
any
equipment
during
this
time
period
and
we'll
be
looking
at
their
their
website
and
equipment
to
determine
whether
or
not
we
should
acquire
any.
Whether
or
not
it
fits
our
deployment
strategies
and,
of
course,
the
decisions
to
obtain
this
type
of
equipment
would
need
to
go
through
Council
approval
as
well.
S
S
And
then,
of
course,
sjpd.org
will
have
information
with
regards
to
our
military
equipment
program.
As
you
can
see
on
the
slide
there,
it
includes
the
council
member
Council.
Excuse
me
Council
memo
the
ordinance,
the
requested
military
equipment,
our
current
military
equipment
inventory
and
our
guidelines,
as
well
as
an
explanation
of
our
law
enforcement,
Support
Office
program,
and
that's
all
I,
have
thank
you,
committee
and
public
for
attending
and
allowing
me
to
present
this
report.
B
H
Thank
you,
I'm
really
concerned
about
the
militarization,
I'm
Reverend
Rowan
I'm
concerned
about
the
militarization
of
our
police
I'm
concerned
about
the
use
of
the
lrad.
In
particular,
several
doctor-led
organizations
have
called
for
Banning
them
because
of
the
damage
it
does
to
people's
hearing
and
cities
like
New,
York
and
Pittsburgh
have
had
to
pay
big
fines
for
using
this
and
having
people
being
seriously
harmed
I.
Don't
think
our
city
needs
any
more
suits
because
of
our
Police
Department's
actions.
H
The
use
of
these
things
needs
to
be
controlled,
and
this
current
Duty
manual
does
not.
They
don't
have
any
prohibition
of
using
against
people
with
no
available
exit,
so
you
could
you're
having
this
thing
pointed
at
you
just
like
when
we
had
the
George
Floyd
poor
test,
and
we
had
rubber
bullets
and
people
who
were
seriously
damaged
by
those
less
lethal
things.
This
is
used
against
protesters
and
that's
just
not
right.
Thank
you
very
much.
P
Thank
you
so
much
the
opportunity
to
speak.
Reverend
Rowan
just
said
everything
that
I
wanted
to
say
only
better.
We
should
you
know
I,
don't
understand
why
we
need
all
this
military
stuff.
It
is
not
just
being
used
in
these
situations
where
officers
are
at
risk
from
a
barricaded,
suspect-
and
you
know,
I
agree
with
what
you
said
about
the
all
rad.
P
It's
been
harmful
cities
of
lawsuits
over
the
use
of
it
harming
people,
and
you
know
trying
to
say:
oh,
we
just
need
it
for
PA
system.
We
need
to
alert
people
along
the
Creeks.
Oh
come
on.
There
are
plenty
of
PA
systems
that
cannot
be
weaponized
and
cause
that
kind
of
harm.
We
should
be
using
that
and
not
military
equipment.
Thank
you
very
much.
T
Hi,
this
is
Jennifer
too,
of
the
American
friends
service
committee.
I
wanted
to
flag
two
places
for
the
submitted
use
report
does
not
fully
comply
with
California
law.
Ab481,
which
modified
section
7072
requires
reporting
per
type
of
equipment,
type
is
defined
by
law.
As
each
item
that
shares
the
same
manufacturer
model
number,
the
submitted
use
report
lists
estimated
annual
cost
to
operate
and
maintain
by
category
of
equipment
to
comply
with
state
law.
T
The
use
reports
should
be
re-updated
to
reflect
the
total
cost
for
the
immediately
preceding
calendar
year
and
then
include
for
each
type
of
military
equipment,
total
actual
costs,
including
the
acquisition,
Personnel
training,
Transportation
maintenance,
storage
upgrade
and
other
ongoing
costs.
A
second
place
where
this
comes
up
is
in
the
per
type
summary.
The
use
report
must
summarize
per
type
of
equipment
how
that
equipment
was
used,
and
the
purpose
of
that
use.
This
per
type
summary
of
how
equipment
was
used
is
not
included
in
the
submit
report.
T
This
missing
information
leaves
me
with
a
few
questions,
one
how
much
of
the
list
it
cost
is
Personnel
cost
two
I
know
that
there
are
zero
deployments
listed
for
assault
rifles
and
shotguns.
Does
this
mean
that
these
Firearms
remain
in
storage
or
transport
and
were
never
visible
to
the
public
three,
where
in
San
Jose
did
these
deployments
fall
are
deployments
and
uses
concentrated
to
only
some
of
the
city's
neighborhoods?
T
Is
there
any
racial
disparity
in
how
military
equipment
was
deployed
and
used
last
year,
if
the
captain
or
anyone
from
the
Department
would
like
to
work
together
on
identifying
how
the
report
could
more
fully
comply
with
state
law
requirements?
Please
do
Reach
Out
we'd
like
to
help
Again
Jennifer
to
American
front
service
committee,
emails
jtu
at
afsc.org.
Thank
you,
John,
followed
by
Blair.
R
Good
afternoon
I'm
John
Lindsay,
Polson
Poland
also
with
the
American
friends
terrorist
committee.
A
few
points
first
I
hope
that
you
will
schedule
full
Council
consideration
of
this
annual
report
and
the
renewal
of
the
military
equipment
policy
for
after
the
community
meeting,
so
that
Community
input
will
benefit
the
decision
by
the
full
Council.
Second
I
think
the
picture
shown
of
The
Rook
that
the
department
wishes
to
acquire
was
a
plastic
simulation
of
The
Rook,
which
is
a
very
large
and
destructive,
potentially
destructive
piece
of
equipment.
I
know
this
is
coming
up
later.
R
I
hope
you
will
investigate
that.
Take
a
look
at
the
material
on
the
web,
that's
promotional
material
for
the
rook
and
see
what
it
can
do.
Third,
the
as
Jennifer
said
the
costs
under
ab41,
and
the
annual
report
must
reflect
Personnel
costs
so
including
training.
It
was
unclear
whether
the
the
report
includes
that
in
its
costs,
but
training
presumably
would
be
the
most
substantial
part
of
cost.
I
hope
you
will
ask
that
question
after
public
comment
and
finally,
the
some
of
the
launchers
and
Munitions
that
the
department
has
include
multiple
Munitions.
R
So
these
are
projectiles
that
have
multiple
Munitions
inside
them
that
that
disperse
after
fire,
after
being
fired
and
are
by
Nature
indiscriminate
because
they
disperse
after
firing
from
the
launcher
and
Physicians
for
human
rights
has
called
for
their
prohibition.
We
really
think
this
should
not
be
part
of
the
inventory
of
the
department
as
something
that,
whether
it's
crowd,
control
or
in
any
other
type
of
instance,
can't
be
fired
within
any
discriminate
nature
because
they
disperse
after
leaving
the
barrel
thanks.
D
I
Blair
Beekman
here,
thanks
for
allowing
myself
public
comment,
it's
really
nice
to
hear
people
from
American
friends,
Services
committee
working
on
these
things.
They
worked
a
lot
on
the
state
level
issues
and
yeah
I
mean
they.
They
they're
speaking
way
more
elegantly
and
specifically,
and
how
this
item
can
be
talked
about.
I've
had
some
of
the
similar
complaints
and
worries,
but
I
I
didn't
have
the
legal
language
to
do
that
and
they
they
do
so.
I
A
real
good
luck
to
yourselves,
I'm
against
lrad
equipment
overall
I
find
it
inhumane.
Basically,
and
we
have
to
consider
those
kind
of
subject
matter.
We
don't
teach
our
police
dogs
to
bite
people
we're
at
a
point
of
going
that
extra
step
to
do
that.
I!
Don't
think
we
have
to
do
that
and
when
we
don't.
That
means
we're
practicing
restraint
and
our
kind
of
our
human
decency
and
those
are
the
sort
of
things
we're
going
to
have
to
really
work
on.
I
As
we
try
to
leave
that
era
of
9
11
in
war,
it's
an
important
concept
to
really
consider,
and
it's
these
good
regulatory
ideas
that
the
state
level
that
I
think
give
ourselves
really
good
rules
of
the
road.
How
to
how
we
think
and
work
and
act
in
our
future
and
I.
Think
it's
really
important
good
stuff
and
I
hope
it
can
give
ourselves
a
real
inspiration
about
a
future
world,
we're
trying
to
work
towards
one
of
peace
and
not
a
war,
and
we
we
and
when
we
do
have
these
tools
of
War.
I
We
have
to
be
very
responsible
about
it
and
respectful.
So
a
real
good
luck
to
ourselves
in
working
on
such
items
and
learning
to
take
the
extra
step
to
continue
these
sort
of
good
practices
and
ideals
and
I
hope.
You
can
really
want
to
work
on
this
issue
with
with
good
Community
advocacy
and
community,
and
thank
you
for
your
time.
E
E
Ammunition,
and
so
it
seems
it
I,
don't
know
if
it's
if
it's
reasonable,
not
real,
it
seems
like
a
lot,
and
you
know
it's
sort
of
specifies
that
it
is
for
for
practice
only,
and
it
just
seems
like
an
extraordinary
amount
to
me.
I,
don't
know
how
it
compares
to
anything
but
I'm.
Just
saying
that
it
just
seems
like
a
lot
to
be
able
to
just
you
know,
because
you're
practicing
is
that
I
mean
give
me
something
to
compare
it
to.
S
S
When
we
deploy
these
types
of
weapons,
we
have
to
be
responsible
for
every
single
round.
We
we
fire
and
I'm
quite
proud
of
how
we
deploy
these
weapons
I'm
very
proud
of
the
men
and
women
of
our
police
department
and
I.
Think
it's
just
the
unfortunate
reality
of
of
the
cost
of
of
doing
business.
We
need
to
have
the
officers
extremely
well
trained,
considering
that
they're
bringing
these
weapons
into
our
community
and
utilizing
them
properly.
E
S
E
I
I
would
I
know
that
it's
been
recent
since
the
adoption
of
the
ab
481,
but
I
think
that
over
time
you
know
it'd
be
interesting
to
track.
You
know
like
how
it's
going
right
in
terms
of
looking
at
all
of
the
different
military
equipment.
I
actually
was
looking
at
the
San
Jose
police
department,
military
equipment,
guidelines
and
and
I
gotta
say
as
a
civilian
I.
I
too,
am
very
concerned
about
the
lrad
and
I
know.
Many
people
in
our
community
are
considered
are
very
worried
about
it.
It
does
provide
hearing,
loss
and
I.
E
Don't
think
your
military
equipment
guideline
is
strong
enough.
A
commander
can
just
and
I
don't
know
what
kind
of
training
that
person
has.
But
to
me
the
the
detrimental
effects
are
real.
There
are
other,
perhaps
options,
and
maybe
a
look
at
I
do
know
that
the
guidelines
were
put
out.
May
6
of
2022,
but
perhaps
on
an
annual
basis.
E
We
can
do
this,
so
that's
just
my
thought
and
I
I'm
very
concerned,
but
I
think
that
taking
a
look
at
what
your
guidelines
are
on
an
annual
basis
would
be
very,
very
helpful
to
make
sure
that,
as
we
look
at
what
we
have,
what
we
want
to
have,
what
we're
doing
you
know
it's
it's
it's
very
well
understood.
So
those
are
my
comments.
Thank
you.
Thank.
C
K
C
Believe
in
when
we
ask
people
to
put
their
life
on
the
line
for
protecting
the
property
and
the
community,
we
have
an
obligation
to
give
them
the
tools
which
will
allow
them
to
do
their
job.
So
I
see
that
this
Governor's
memo
I
think
it
was
the
right
thing
that
they
even
asked
that
you
could
get
the
military
equipment.
C
They
put
some
obligations
on
the
department
to
publish
this
report,
which
you
are
sharing
with
us
and
to
review
this
report
and
make
it
public
so
that
not
only
some
people
inside
the
department
see
it,
but
it
gives
a
transparency
so
that
the
people
can
look
at
it.
So
when
you
give
the
responsibility
and
give
the
tools,
the
next
thing
comes
is
doing
the
monitoring
that
the
responsibility
is
being
properly
discharged
and
the
tools
are
being
used
effectively
and
if
the
tools
are
not
effective,
replace
them
with
some
other
tools.
C
Okay,
so
I
think
Vice
mayor's
comment
about
this
particular
use
of
the
alrad.
It
may
need
to
be
evaluated.
Is
it
really
the
proper
tool?
It
right?
I
mean
used
with
the
well
in
10
tension,
but
he
may
need
re-evaluation
whether
the
community
need
to
have
that
or
not
okay,
but
I'm
totally
for
the
police
to
having
the
right
tools
to
do
their
job,
because
I
respect
the
uniformed
officers,
they
put
their
life
on
the
line
every
day
for
the
sake
of
our
community
and
for
the
property,
so
they
have
to
have
the
tools.
C
It's
sad
that
we
have
to
bring
these
kind
of
tools
to
control
that
one,
and
so
monitoring
and
transparency
I
think
can
help
us
get
there
in
using
the
right
tools
for
the
right
occasion.
Okay,
so
continue
to
give
this
transparency
and
re-evaluate
some
of
the
feedback
you
are
getting.
That
hey
is
this
still
still
appropriate?
Should
it
be
replaced
with
something
else?
That
would
be
my
request.
Suggestion
comment
whatever
you'd
like
to
consider.
Thank
you.
A
I
just
wanted
to
speak
up,
and
you
know
I
think
the
vice
mayor's
comments
are
really
important
and
and
obviously
we're
as
an
organization
and
obviously
as
a
police
department.
I
think
we
were
one
of
the
first
to
bring
forward
the
military
equipment
policy
after
the
the
legislation
passed.
So
even
how
it
looks
in
this
form
is
very
different
than
it
did
in
the
first
year.
So
you
know
want
to
praise
the
police
department
for
that
I
do
think.
A
We
will
continue
as
these
tools
get
utilized,
to
take
a
look
at
that,
especially
with
the
alrad
I
think,
a
lot
of
how
these
things
might
work
they're
often
at
least
in
this
form
I
think
documented,
documented
in
worst
case
scenario,
and
that
they're
not
often
used
at
least
with
the
alrad
in
this
form,
and
hopefully
they're
not
used
in
this
form,
quite
often
in
reality,
the
lrad,
the
way
it's
been
used.
It's
been
used
during
the
seu
and
the
SCU
fires
around
emergency
evacuations
and
notifications.
A
We
used
it
during
the
flood
around
Coyote
Creek,
so
we
continue
to
operationalize
it
for
evacuations
and
emergency
orders,
where
either
myself
or
or
the
Emergency
Operations
Center
Director
is
usually
making
that
call
not
someone
in
the
field,
but
the
the
way
the
policy
is
laid
out
here
and
the
way
that
it
could
be
used
around
command
and
control
in
the
field.
Those
things
actually
happen
less
frequently
than
we
would
normally
see
to
influence
that
policy
with
that.
B
E
You
so
much
thank
you
for
that
respect,
response,
I!
Guess!
If,
if
you
read
what
is
in
the
guidelines
on
page
24
and
it
describes
the
purpose
and
authorized
uses
of
lrad,
you
would
never
get
to
what
you're
saying
right,
and
so
there
there's
no
description
of
the
taser
shock
wave,
the
microwave
weapons
water
cannons.
A
A
Okay,
because
you
know
I
know
last
time
we
went
through
this
and
it
might
be.
The
state
Attorney
General's
office,
quite
frankly,
is
that
we
receive
feedback
that
we
could
be
more
flexible
than
what
the
legislation
said,
because
everyone
followed
the
legislation
exactly
how
it
said,
and
it
didn't
provide
a
lot
of
this
opportunity.
A
So
this
this
report
is
a
little
bit
better
and
provides
a
little
bit
more
detail,
but
absolutely
hear
you
loud
and
clear
that
it
doesn't
give
the
detail
of
what
that
piece
of
equipment
and
a
few
different
pieces
of
equipment
may
or
may
not
do,
and
and
with
the
Public's
comment
as
well.
Some
of
that
you
know,
we
could
add.
You
know
more
flavor
here
to
to
talk
about
potential
uses,
but
we
can
work
that
out
with
the
Attorney
General's
office
at
the
state
to
see
if
we
can
do
that
as
well.
B
B
I
think
it'd
be
good
to
the
point
that
including
more
information
so
there's
particular
settings
and
tones
that
get
that
are
utilized
that
can
potentially
cause
that
damage
right,
and
so
these
13
deployments,
for
example,
I,
think
in
reading
the
memo.
The
information
on
my
maybe
only
like
once
or
twice
since
2020
was
it
used
in
that
fashion.
Is
that
correct.
S
Yeah,
if
we
want
to
think
about
what
how
it
was
used
in
2020
during
the
protest
events,
we
took
great
care
in
proper
mounting
the
the
equipment
it
was
utilized
as
a
PA
system.
It
was
not
weaponized
and
I
should
have
made
it
clear
in
my
presentation.
We
don't
have
water
cannons,
we
don't
have
microwave
weapons,
we
have
l-rads.
Those
are
the
only
types
of
equipment
we
have
consistent
with
that
category.
We
solely
use
that
type
of
equipment
as
a
means
to
communicate.
S
If
you
can
imagine
the
example,
I
gave
you
with
communicating
with
the
unhoused
in
the
in
the
waterways.
It
was
very
effective
because
we
followed
up
with
walking
the
waterways
and
contacting
individuals,
and
it's
also
quite
effective
for
use
in
a
situation
where
somebody's
barricaded
in
a
home
and
the
PA
system
on
let's
say
the
patrol
vehicle
is
simply
not
loud
enough
for
perimeter
officers
to
hear.
Then
we
resort
to
using
this.
S
We
want
to
be
able
to
de-escalate
played
and
have
people
surrender
prior
to
using
any
type
of
force,
and
this
lrad
gives
us
another
another
layer.
We
can
use
to
effectively
communicate
with
somebody
and
encourage
them
to
surrender
priority
using
any
Force
at
all.
It's
a
great
piece
of
equipment.
In
summary,
we
don't
weaponize
it
and
we
don't
have
any
other
pieces
of
equipment
consistent
with
that
category.
B
Okay,
so
maybe
the
formatting
can
be
changed
to
something
like
this
is
what
the
category
includes.
This
is
what
we
have,
because
it
was
a
lot
of
confusing
me
because
I
was
thinking.
Water,
cannons,
I
mean
yeah,
but
anyway,
so
I'm
glad.
You
clarified
that
the
other
thing
that
I
think
would
be
helpful
in
the
report
is
actually
indicating
on
there
as
an
example,
some
of
the
vehicles
right,
it's
just
an
example
but
say
the
the
the
category:
two
Miller
military
equipment,
mine
resistant,
ambush,
protected
vehicles
or
armored
personnel
carriers.
B
So
the
photo
on
that.
It's
slide,
four
I!
Guess
that's
the
armored
personnel
character,
carrier,
I,
guess
back
to
the
formatting
right.
But
what
I'm
curious
about
is
I'd
be
curious.
How
long
we've
had
this,
for
example
in
in
my
in
the
reason
I
suggest,
that
is,
if
we've
had,
if
we've
had
something
for
30
years
and
there's
had
four
deployments.
Well,
then
I'm
just
making
that
up
right.
That
suggests
to
me
that
I'm,
not
so
sure
we
needed
all
that
badly
anyway,
but
anyway,
I
just
wanted
to.
S
It's
used
consistent
with
the
other
armored
vehicles
that
we
use
for
operational,
critical
events,
where,
let's
say
we
have
simultaneous
critical
incidents
or
occurring
throughout
the
city,
and
we
need
additional
pieces
of
equipment
or
a
situation
where
we're
serving
a
search
warrant
on
multiple
homes
in
a
in
a
in
a
neighborhood,
and
we
need
additional
protection
for
the
officers
in
the
community.
That's
typically
what
we
use
it
for
what
we
will
report
out
on
next
year.
S
Is
we
actually
use
this
in
a
mutual
Aid
deployment
down
in
Monterey
County
as
a
high
water
vehicle
to
assist
them
with
with
transportation
of
of
individuals
who
are
affected
by
the
floods?
I.
Think
it's
a
good
piece
of
equipment
to
have
you
know
we?
The
only
issue
is,
is
when
you
don't
have
the
equipment
and
you
need
it.
That's
the
problem.
We
have
it
and
we
deploy
it
appropriately
in
in
conjunction
with
our
policies.
Okay,.
B
S
B
And
then
some
of
the
costs
associated
like,
for
example,
the
Miller
Terry
equipment,
the
the
category
10,
the
fire
specialized
Firearms.
The
annual
cost
is
just
purely
the
Firearms,
the
ammunition
right,
and
so,
if
we
have
you
list
there
439
firearms,
and
then
you
have
the
associated
cost
to
firearms
and
ammunition.
I.
Imagine
the
firearms
that
doesn't
that
number
is
somewhat
static,
I'm
sure
some
of
them
need
to
be
replaced,
maybe,
but
for
the
most
part,
that
amount
is
purely
ammunition.
Is
that
the
350
for
the
345.
S
Yeah,
if
we
think
back
in
the
presentation
about
the
amount
of
ammunition
we
had
to
purchase
and
pay
for
was
500.
That
was
an
extreme
amount,
as
explained
to
me
by
our
our
range
unit.
Who
does
our
purchasing
this
number?
Considering
that
you
know
these
types
of
weapon
systems?
Don't
don't
go
bad
as
and
they
don't
spoil
like
food
right.
They
do
require
some
routine
maintenance.
S
B
S
B
C
When
we
coordinate
our
activities
with
our
neighboring
cities
or
counties,
or
do
we
coordinate
that
if
we
are
buying
something
which
may
be
complementary
to
what
they're
buying
and
hence
their
own
needs
to
be
only
in
one
place
or
other
than
multiple
places?
Do
we
try
to
take
economy
of
scale
in
that
area?.
S
A
Isn't
a
we,
we
do
not
coordinate
on
the
the
future
purchases
of
things,
however,
within
the
mutual
Aid
system
within
the
public
safety,
like
the
captain,
knows
who
to
call.
If
we
didn't
have
something.
If
someone
else
has
something,
and
then
with
also
within
outside
of
Public
Safety,
just
the
Emergency
Operations
Center,
the
county
is
our
operational
area.
Oversight
keeps
a
catalog
of
where
all
this
equipment
is
as
well.

Need
stuff
you
guys
can
make
your
way
down
to
the
podium.
It's
gonna
be
Debbie,
Sammy,
Cat,
Aiden,
Joseph,
ta,

John
and
Cole
Mitchell.
Just
please
light
up
along
the
steps.
If
you're
able
wait
up

until
it's
your
turn
to

you
will
have
two

please
state

Thank
you

B
As
you
come
down,
I'll
tell
you
how
this
typically
works
so
I
think
a
lot
of
folks
don't
know
so
please
come
down
the
way
it
works.
Is
you
come
up?
You
get
a
few
minutes
to
share
your
thoughts,
concerns
whatever
it
may
be,
but
we
as
a
council
count
as
a
body,
can't
necessarily
respond
to
your
comments.
So
if
you
have
a
question
when
you're
talking
I'm
not
going
to
be
able
to
answer
the
question,
but
maybe
after
we
can
help
address
that,
so
please.
M
So
hello,
I'm,
Cole,
Mitchell
and
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
pact
sjsu,
students
from
police
accountability
and
as
a
resident
of
District,
3.
I'm
part
of
a
larger
student
movement,
discontent
with
the
lackluster
and
delayed
efforts
of
city
council
to
reform
policing
in
San
Jose
I'm,
going
to
keep
this
fairly
brief.
Since
officer
misconduct
was
was
moved
off
of
this
meeting's
agenda,
but
for
our
community
to
coexist
with
sjpd,
they
can
no
longer
consolidate
their
power
through
organized
violence
and
secrecy.
The
community
needs
oversight
of
the
police.
M
We
are
sitting
here
talking
about
military-grade
equipment
for
police.
While
we
have
the
largest
unhoused
youth
population
in
the
country.
Their
Solutions
are
at
odds
with
what
this
community
needs
and
will
no
longer,
and
we
will
no
longer
allow
the
industry
of
policing
to
outweigh
our
communal
values.
We
demand
that
the
city
council
create
an
investigative
wing
of
the
IPA,
the
independent
police
office.
Auditors
associate
auditor.
Excuse
me.
We
will
no
longer
accept
the
internal
affairs
model
of
Investigation,
where
police
are
responsible
for
investigating
their
own
fellow
officers.
M
We
demand
a
model
of
Investigation
where
police
are
accountable
to
us.
The
people
as
you
deliberate
and
research
in
the
next
coming
months,
we
demand
that
you
call
on
us
for
information
and
testimony.
We
demand
that
you
implement
these
changes,
because
they
will
create
an
accountability
and
transparency
and
will
serve
the
to
keep
our
most
vulnerable.
Community,
safe
and
I.
M
Q
My
name
is
Joseph
Namba
and
I
come
here
on
behalf
of
pact
as
well
as
students
for
police
accountability.
A
campaign
group
created
at
San,
Jose,
State
University
I'm
here
to
originally
I,
was
coming
here
to
speak
on
the
demands
for
increased
Authority
for
the
independent
police
solder
as
well
as
have
you
create
a
allow,
an
investigative,
r
b
created
amongst
the
behind
the
independent
police
auditor
as
well
to
be
able
to
conduct
a
thorough
investigation
into
police
misconduct
because,
in
my
opinion,
Internal
Affairs
is
just
outdated.
Q
So,
for
example,
X
San,
Jose,
police
officer,
Matthew
Dominguez,
was
allowed
to
work
for
an
entire
year
after
having
two
claims
against
him
for
groping
two
separate
women
in
two
separate
instances,
one
where
he
pulled
a
woman
out
of
her
car
and
required
to
have
her
be
pat
down.
Instead
of
waiting
for
a
female
officer
to
arrive,
he
took
matters
into
his
own
hands
and,
and
did
it
himself.
Q
Asked
his
partner
at
the
time
to
to
get
them
away
and
officer.
Dominguez's
partner
claimed
that
he
was
just
trying
to
help
her
get
her
seat
belt
off
and
then
at
a
separate
incident
at
a
party,
a
Woman
by
the
name
of
Jennifer
Rodriguez
claimed
Matthew
Dominguez
had
done
the
same
thing
to
her,
but
with
groping
her
breasts.
Q
U
All
right
is
it
starting.
Is
it
working
okay,
hi?
My
name
is
John
droyon,
commenting
on
behalf
of
the
students
for
a
Democratic
Society
of
San
Jose
State,
presenting
demands
of
increased
transparency
and
empowering
the
independent
police
auditor.
As
put
forth
by
my
colleagues
in
susansford
police
accountability.
I
would
like
to
reaffirm
the
previous
comments
of
my
colleagues
as
I
believe
that
San
Jose
law
enforcement
has
eroded
public
confidence
through
repeated
violations
of
their
own
code
of
conduct
and
excessive
militarization.
U
The
most
recent
and
egregious
example
mentioned
by
my
colleague
over
there
is
Officer
Matthew
Dominguez
being
charged
with
indecent
exposure,
an
incident
that
could
have
been
easily
avoided
if
two
prior
assault
accusations
had
been
properly
investigated.
I
also
believe
that
future
incidents
of
police
violence
will
only
be
exacerbated
by
the
further
usage
of
military
equipment.
A
lack
of
transparency
has
stymied
attempts
to
establish
civil
accountability
and
I
would
like
to
advocate
for
increased
transparency
as
a
part
of
a
wider
set
of
reforms
in
curtailing
police
brutality.
Thank
you.
I
yield.
My
time.
V
Terence
I'm,
a
first
year
at
San,
Jose,
State
and
I,
represent
students
for
a
Democratic
Society
coming
here
to
support
students
for
police
accountability,
essentially
I
believe
that
police
cannot
address
harm
because
harm
is
contextual,
and
we
know
this,
but
consolidating
Power
among
you,
the
courts
and
police
is
ultimately
your
goal.
So
that
means
that
you're,
just
as
guilty
for
the
60
houseless
individuals
who
died
for
sweeps
that
you
approved
of
through
your
budget
and
the
murderers
molesters
and
yes,
even
drug
queen
pins
that
you
had
on
payroll
the
head.

Hello,
my
name
is
Aiden
Rao
I
live
in
District
three
I'm
here,
with
the
students
for
police
accountability
and
the
students
against
mass
incarceration.
I
tend
to
agree
with
my
colleagues.
The
lack
the
the
policy
of
having
the
police
investigate.
Incidents
of
police
misconduct
is
a
transparent
recipe
for
a
brutal
violence
every
day,
since
the
proposition
for
a
for
external
investigations
in
towards
police
conduct
that
has
passed
is
a
day
that
our
community
has
faced.
W
I
Hi
Blair
Beekman
here
a
very
nice
public
comment.
Thank
you.
It
offered
myself
the
idea
that,
as
you
were
supposed
to
work
on,
you
know
police
behavior
issues
today.
This
could
have
been
a
good
time
to
introduce
some
beginning
thoughts
and
feelings
about
what
to
do
about
the
skpoa
situation,
and
then
you
could
have
stated
we'll
have
a
more
full
report
in
June.
I
Obviously,
is
we're
going
to
have
to
work
to
investigate
this
issue,
but
there
could
have
been
some
introductory
words
today
to
describe
our
feelings
as
count
your
feelings
as
Council
persons,
and
what
exactly
how
we're
going
to
move
forward
with
this
I'm,
not
very
clear
what
exactly
you're
doing
and
I
I.
You
know
as
Community
we're
trying
our
darndest
to
give
you
ideas.
I've,
offered
the
peer
review
program
to
reintroduce
those
good
Concepts
to
policing
again
that
police
can
use
basically
as
therapy
that
creates
its
own
oversight.
I
Basically-
and
it
you
know
some
whistleblower
protections
as
a
way
to
communicate
where
we
can't
at
this
time,
where
it's
too
difficult
for
us
for
police,
too
Good
Luck
in
those
sort
of
efforts
to
reintroduce
the
police
peer
review
program
and
how
cities
like
Antioch,
who
are
going
to
the
same
federal
investigation,
something
of
the
same
federal
investigation
process
brought
out
some
really
bad
practices
of
their
police.
They
turned
it
into
a
really
Community
good
process.
You
know
of
dialogue,
there's
a
number
of
reasons.
I
I
P
Yes,
I
agree
with
the
previous
speakers.
I
guess
it's
a
theme
with
me
today,
but
I
came
here
and
it's
packed
to
speak
on
the
problems
with
delaying
the
discussion
of
reforming
our
police
oversight,
it's
obvious
that
Internal
Affairs
as
just
rubber,
stamping
everything
and
saying,
oh,
of
course
we
did
ever.
We
did
everything
right
and
other
cities
have
improved
on
San
Jose's
model
of
how
to
run
independent
police
auditor,
and
we
need
to
update
our
practices.
