Re: Department of Police Accountability Statistical Reports: Summary of Cases Received,

Mediation of Complaints, Adjudication of Sustained Complaints for June 2018 and Companion
Reports

Dear President Thomas Mazzucco and San Francisco Police Commissioners:

Summary of Complaints Received in June 2018 and Companion Reports

In compliance with San Francisco City Charter section 4.136 and Police Commission Resolution
number 97-04, which require the Department of Police Accountability (DPA) to provide the Police
Commission with a monthly summary of complaints received, including the number and type of
complaints filed, attached please find a summary of cases received in June 2018, a Comprehensive
Statistical Report, a pending case list, and a “How Complaints Were Received” report for the period
January 1, 2018 through June 30, 2018. For comparison purposes, reports for the period January 1,
2017 through June 30, 2017 are also included.

Mediation of Complaints in June 2018

The DPA mediated two (2) cases in June 2018. The DPA mediated seven (7) cases from January 1,
2018 through June 30, 2018, compared with 14 cases mediated in the same period last year.

Chief’s Proposed Discipline on DPA Sustained Complaints in June 2018

In June 2018, Chief William Scott imposed discipline in two (2) cases involving five (5) investigated
officers and determined by the DPA to have sustainable allegations. The DPA’s findings and
recommended discipline and the Chief’s proposed discipline are as follows:

1. Neglect of Duty Two officers failed to properly investigate and failed to properly
—

process property.

Neglect of Duty — The officers’ supervisor failed to properly supervise.

The DPA Director recommended an admonishment for each officer.

The Chief of Police concurred with the DPA Director’s sustained findings
for the two officers. The Chief of Police imposed written reprimands and
retraining for the two officers. The Chief of Police found insufficient
evidence to sustain the officers’ supervisor and did not impose discipline.

2. Conduct Reflecting Discredit — An officer behaved inappropriately.

Conduct Reflecting Discredit and Unwarranted Action Another officer

—

behaved inappropriately and placed the complainant in handcuffs without

justification.

The DPA Director recommended a written reprimand for both officers.

The Chief of Police imposed a written reprimand and retraining for the
first officer and an admonishment and retraining for the second officer.
