Most of the complaints result in admonishments or reprimands and maybe retraining. With that low level of discipline, officers are not being held accountable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The OCC’s officer-involved shooting investigations follow a similar pattern. A KQED review of the six completed investigations (two are still pending) between December 2010 and January 2016 shows no \"sustained\" complaints -- meaning the office found no fault on the part of officers involved and recommended no discipline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district attorney's office found officers were legally justified to use deadly force in five of those incidents. The DA's office did not investigate the 2010 shooting of Vinh Bui, according to a spokesman, because District Attorney George Gascón had recently been appointed to the post after serving as police chief and there could have been a conflict of interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>S.F.

If Proposition D is approved by voters, OCC investigators would automatically investigate all officer-involved shootings for violations of department policy.

Cohen notes that of the 35 police shootings that might have triggered an OCC inquiry in the past five years, the office has looked into just eight -- the only ones in which someone filed a complaint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the lack of opposition to expanding the number of OCC investigations, some critics question whether \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfweekly.com/sanfrancisco/san-francisco-polices-toothless-watchdog-sfpd-office-of-citizen-complaints-ed-lee-greg-suhr-joyce-hicks-mario-woods-alex-nieto-police/Content?oid=4548631&showFullText=true\" target=\"_blank\">the agency has any teeth\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The OCC investigates hundreds of complaints a year, and some of them are very serious cases,” said police accountability consultant Barbara Attard, who has worked for the OCC as well as civilian oversight offices in Berkeley and San Jose. “But there’s been very little real discipline meted out. Most of the complaints result in admonishments or reprimands and maybe retraining. With that low level of discipline, officers are not being held accountable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The OCC’s officer-involved shooting investigations follow a similar pattern. A KQED review of the six completed investigations (two are still pending) between December 2010 and January 2016 shows no \"sustained\" complaints -- meaning the office found no fault on the part of officers involved and recommended no discipline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district attorney's office found officers were legally justified to use deadly force in five of those incidents. The DA's office did not investigate the 2010 shooting of Vinh Bui, according to a spokesman, because District Attorney George Gascón had recently been appointed to the post after serving as police chief and there could have been a conflict of interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>S.F.

The investigative summaries are virtually buried in monthly OCC reports of all its recently closed case, documents that run to more than 100 pages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"California is one of the few states that has complete confidentiality around police misconduct cases,\" Attard said, \"and we're way overdue to change that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attard, Hicks and Supervisor Cohen all supported a \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/02/19/new-state-bill-would-open-police-misconduct-serious-use-of-force-files\" target=\"_blank\">bill\u003c/a> by San Francisco state Sen.

The questions seek information on any threat that may still exist but avoid seeking officers' reasons for using force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Rank-and-file police officers value transparency, and we welcome body cameras as an effective tool to improve public safety and strengthen accountability,\" Halloran wrote in a statement issued Tuesday. \"Body cameras are not a panacea, but they provide a key record of events for use in investigations -- and are a clear signal to our community that police officers hold ourselves to the highest standards.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Body camera deployment was one of several major changes to the SFPD initiated by former Chief Greg Suhr that have landed before interim Chief Toney Chaplin, who said the cameras would be a \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/05/20/interim-sfpd-chief-says-hell-continue-on-path-to-change-department\" target=\"_blank\">major focus\u003c/a> for him upon taking over the position.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a game changer for the San Francisco Police Department and moves us firmly into 21st Century Policing,” Chaplin said in a written statement. “We welcome this agreement with the San Francisco Police Officers Association and we look forward to the deployment of the cameras as soon as possible.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

But, the jointly submitted final draft body camera policy from the mayor's office and the POA ends those concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On pre-statement review, the final draft appears closer to what accountability advocates wanted than the union's previous position to generally allow officers to view their camera footage, even in shooting cases, and even before being interviewed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's the draft language laying out circumstances in which SFPD officers would not be allowed to view body camera, \u003cem>or any\u003c/em> footage:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Following any (1) officer-involved shooting, (2) in-custody death, or (3) criminal matter, any subject officer shall be required to provide an initial statement before he or she reviews any audio or video recording.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The initial statement by the subject officer shall briefly summarize the actions that the officer was engaged in, the actions that required the use of force, and the officer’s response. The statement shall be distinct from the “public safety statement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After providing an initial statement, the subject shall have an opportunity to review any audio or video recordings depicting the incident with his or her representative or attorney prior to being subject to an interview.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>This new, distinct \"initial statement\" may preserve officers' perspective of an incident unaltered by reviewing footage. It's an officers' state of mind, regardless of what video later reveals, that helps define the legal standard for justified uses of force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \"public safety statement\" is a set of mandatory questions an officer involved in a critical incident must answer at the scene if ordered by a supervisor. The questions seek information on any threat that may still exist but avoid seeking officers' reasons for using force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Rank-and-file police officers value transparency, and we welcome body cameras as an effective tool to improve public safety and strengthen accountability,\" Halloran wrote in a statement issued Tuesday. \"Body cameras are not a panacea, but they provide a key record of events for use in investigations -- and are a clear signal to our community that police officers hold ourselves to the highest standards.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Body camera deployment was one of several major changes to the SFPD initiated by former Chief Greg Suhr that have landed before interim Chief Toney Chaplin, who said the cameras would be a \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/05/20/interim-sfpd-chief-says-hell-continue-on-path-to-change-department\" target=\"_blank\">major focus\u003c/a> for him upon taking over the position.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a game changer for the San Francisco Police Department and moves us firmly into 21st Century Policing,” Chaplin said in a written statement. “We welcome this agreement with the San Francisco Police Officers Association and we look forward to the deployment of the cameras as soon as possible.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
