also, they were talking about the young asian girl that was shot in the fillmore district. they made an arrest right away. what i'm trying to understand, if b police have informants and people in our community that are always rolling over when they applied the pressure, they get the informants to give them the information that they need to get an arrest. i want to know why a man is on videotape murdering my brother. no arrests have been made. i do not want to take a lot of your time. i am here and i will be here to speak for my brother, who cannot speak for himself and his children. >> thank you, mr. harrison. >> my name is carpenter. i have been vocal on a lot of police brutality and misconduct in the bay view area. i have been on tv about it on several occasions. i have been on channel 29. i was interviewed on channel 29. the interview was about an hour. the next day, the plainclothes officers came up and grabbed me and arrested me for some incident that they made up. no incident report was put in until i was after -- after i was in custody. it happened on the prior day w

i attended in my staff capacity of the asian law caucus. i did see a sergeant there representing the san francisco police department, and what i took away from the experience is that we're all doing great things throughout the country. there are things in tennessee and also in minnesota where they have outreach to immigrant communities. i would like to bring that back to talk about, because it is almost like our ambassador program but coming out of the police department and strong connection with immigrant- serving organizations to try to deal with the barriers of have a trust and also the language issues, and looking at the language access report that we were provided with, i noticed that there were some areas where the police department is very strong, but there are other areas where we did not receive a check, where we have some work to do, so in the coming weeks and months, i will bring up some proposals. president mazzucco: ok, any further commission reports before we move into the items for consideration? item 3d. clerk: item 3d. pres

[applause] >> good morning, everyone. thank you to the office of civic engagement for this opportunity to join the launch of today's permanent community ambassadors program. as we have heard, the community ambassadors program emerged during the time of crisis in san francisco last year in 2010 when a series of attacks on seniors occurred at muni stations here in the southeast. chinese for affirmative action, along with our partners, including dr. joe marshall, sharon hewitt, marlene tram, others who came together to really address the concerns of residents. we stood together and demanded change. the city responded. you want to thank and lee, now mayor ed lee, and our supervisors for their big ship and support. many hours were spent collaborating. not only amongst advocates and service providers, but the residents themselves. every day we hear from residents the openly -- they openly expressed their stru

president mazzucco: surveillance, racial profile something >> it had to do with the south asian muslim community and at the big hearing we had the human rights commission and i think that's still dangling work if you want to amend the general department order regarding racial profiling to include additional categories and if we want to do about switching to a portland model. >> to update you, there is no portland resolution. that was never signed off on. we were trying to get it so we could model it and apparently, the assistant u.s. attorney that signed off on it wasn't authorized to do so, has since been transferred and i met with teresa sparks and human rights commission attorney the other day and we tightened up a lot of the language on the bureau order . we will be giving them that back and if that's to their satisfaction, that will close the book on -- close the loop on that for us absent the aclu being able to get some sort of resolution with the f.b.i. because they are the controller of the national m.o.u. >> i would say until that work is done, we leave it just on the third ti

the gentleman who was beaten to death, followed almost right and -- right away by the asian woman who was thrown off the t line. both of these instances involved young black men. a lot of attention in the area in the city. and a few of us got together and tried to do something about it. i want to commend our former commissioner, vincent. we met every week at the boys' club. along with ed lee who was always out there every week. we tried to come out with some ideas in the aftermath of those tragedies. one of the ideas that surfaced was an urban peace corps. i think it was them that might have come up with that but we thought, well, what if we could place a group out there to begin the work of restoring faith and harmony in the community? there was an additional deployment of officers out there but we knew they could not stay. we thought this might be a way to do it. it was very unique. i do not know -- think anyone else in the united states was doing this at that time. we all the said we can make this happen. -- we all of us said we can make this happen. with the strong support of the

five males, seven females, 12 ambassadors, four african- american, four asian, two pacific wilander and -- pacific islander, and to latino. the age ranges from the early 20's to the early 50's. they are a diverse group in every way. what distinguishes the community ambassadors program from similar escort programs are safety programs is the role modeling by the multi-ethnic team. the team and african american ambassador with a bilingual ambassador who was able to communicate in different languages. also the direct involvement of the community-based organizations and experts. the emphasis on safety and information. the ongoing relationship established with business owners of schools, transit, law enforcement, everyone who was involved and the distribution of information on city programs and services. we do things like education on 311, muni, healthysf, the id card. the ambassadors do this for a spread we are adding an additional element on avoiding consumer scams and fraud from wireless services. we have a small grant for that. i am not going to go into the details of the training. we cov
