the Sian FranciscoiCEL PUBLICATION OF THE SAN FRANCISCO POLICE OFFICERS ASSOCIATIONote the Efficiency and Good Name- of the San Francisco Police Department and its MembersMember of COPS - California Organization of Police & Sheriffs­_---VOLUME 17 SAN FRANCISCO, APRIL 1985 NLTIMBER 4POA FILES LAWSUIT AGAINST OCCBy Paul ChignellOn Friday, April 5, 1985, the San FranciscoPolice Officers' Association filed a lawsuit seekinga preliminary injunction and other reliefagainst the City & County of San Francisco,Police Commission, Office of Citizen's Complaintsand General Frank Schober, Jr., theDirector of the 0CC.A hearing will be held in the courtroom ofSuperior Court Judge Roy Wonder at 10:00A.M. on April 24, 1985 with Association attorneysseeking various remedies to halt pendinghearings with respect to police officermisconduct.By Mike HebelOpinion CorrespondentIn 1911 San Francisco Mayor Patrick McCarthyappointed Pacific Gas & Electric Companyexecutive David A. White to the position ofChief of Police. White served from 1911 untilhis death in 1920. In 1976 Mayor GeorgeMoscone appointed San Francisco undersheriffCharles R. Gain as Chief of Police. Gain served.until 1980 having been discredited by the administrativemishandling of violent demonstrationsfollowing the jury verdict in the Dan Whitetrial. In the 20th Century all other chiefs havecome from within the Police Department.Will the same Mayor who fired Charles Gainappoint the third outside Chief of Police?Deputy SheriffsJoin COPS!By Paul ChignellThe San Francisco Deputy Sheriffs'Association have voted two to one to leavePORAC and join the California Organizationof Police & Sheriffs (COPS).With the inclusion of the DSA, now all 8.301 peace officerswithin the City and County of San Francisco aremembers of COPS.The Executive Board of the DSA, President GeorgePalmer, Vice President Marcia Coihour, TreasurerHenry Scott, Seely. Evan Zapata and Sgt. at ArmsFrank Hutchens unanimously recommended to themembership that the change be made to COPS.Members of the DSA have cited a more comprehensivelegal protection plan, less dues and unity with the POA asmajor reasons for the switch to COPS.Over the past weeks, COPS President Don Brown,General Manager Al Angele, POA representative toCOPS Pete Maloney, COPS Attorney Michael Hannonand others have met with DSA representatives to explainthe goals, policies and programs of COPS.The San Francisco Police Officers Association is lookingforward to a good working relationship with the DSA.NEGOTIATION SHAMThe SFPOA reluctantly filed suit against the City afterCity representatives failed to meet and confer in goodfaith over proposed rules upon which hearings were to beheld as required by the Charter mandate of November1982. The Police Commission at first would only agree toone (1) public meeting on February 21, 1985 but thenrelented and designated representatives for subsequentmeetings that took place in late February and throughMarch 1985. Though some agreement was made on thehearing rules General Schober took an intransigent positionon matters that have already been settled by State Lawand the Charter of the City & County of San Francisco.POA attorney Dave Clisham and representatives BobBarry, Paul Chignell, Ron Parenti, Reno Rapagnani,Don Woolard, Phil Dito and Tom Flippin advisedGeneral Schober that he must comply with the Public!:i4y4ihi.vJ(.Jilj4AI.iIjMIsj4:THE STINGThe print and picture media have painted the PoliceDepartment as operating from crisis to crisis and scandalto scandal. By any objective standard the SanFrancisco Chronicle is after Chief Cornelius Murphy'shead. To be delivered to whom?The Chronicle and to a lesser extent the Examinerregurgitate adnauseum the Marilyn Chambers arrest at thelocal Temple of Culture O'Farrell Theater, the informalFTO party which resulted in the Rathskellar Restaurantrecruit officer sex scandal, the arrest of journalist WarrenHinckle for outstanding warrants, alleged computer spyingon the City's Public Defender Jeff Brown, the LordJim's Fern Bar invasion by the Vice Squad, and the use ofa neighborhood classroom for a police training exercise.These six (6) events, all laid before the office of the Chiefof Police, are being manipulated in the most outrageousmanner to portray the San Francisco police as "keystonecops" par excellence.But the reality tells another tale. A story of professionalhandling of thousands of citizen calls for service; a storyof courteous, but firm handling of over 300 demonstrationsin the last year; a story of dedicated people routinelyperforming in a dangerous and stressful occupation. Thisstory will be told and will eventually prevail due to the inherentcommon sense of the public observing and receivingpolice service.One of his jobs as chief was not to leave behind a benchthat cannot play the game. Chief Murphy has developedone of the best benches in the police service business. Thebench is peopled by Deputy Chiefs Eimil, Lordan andTrueb; Commanders Canepa, D'Arcy and Klapp; andCaptains Casey, Frank and Jack Jordan, and Macia.REAL PROBLEMS REMAINA change of the head leaves the same body existent.From 1979 to 1983 over 1,000 new officers entered thePolice Department as it expanded and as experienced officersretired. Given that it takes five (5) years to producea fully capable and functioning police officer, the shearnumbers of newcomers postulates the fundamental problem.The problem is not without redemption. In a fewshort years San Francisco will have a young, seasoned,experienced, and maturing patrol force. However, whilethe maturing process is occurring, energies must be spentto train, develop, direct, and monitor this young force.Twelve (12) years to wait for a lieutenant's examination;7 years to wait for a sergeant/assistant inspector'sexam; 4 years to wait for a captain's promotional. Andthen? A "public interest" law firm insisting on quota appointmentsand attacking the examination process becausethe results were wrong. Internal pressures due to the comcontinuedon page 7Safety Officers' Procedural Bill of Rights Act and that thedue process rules must be reflected in the final document.Schober refused to abide by such mandates and in fact inviolation of the Government Code, refused to exchangeproposals in good faith."EMERGENCY GAME"In addition, on several occasions Scober recommendedto the Police Commission that the rules be adopted in themiddle of negotiations due to an alleged emergency. TheCommission refused to do so, and the negotiations continuedduring the month of March. But the Commissionwas not without fault during this process. During the lastthree meetings, neither a Deputy City Attorney nor aPolice Commissioner even showed up at the negotiationsessions, further exacerbating the bad faith conduct by theCity & County of San Francisco.CITY RENEGES ON BILL OF RIGHTSWhen the Police Officer Bill of Rights was passed bythe legislature in the summer of 1976 and signed into Lawby Former Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr., effectiveJanuary 1, 1977, the City & County of San Franciscorefused to acknowledge that the Bill of Rights applied toSan Francisco police officers. The City's position was,however, weak as the City continued to allow the exerciseof those rights to continue. California Supreme Court ruledthat the Bill of Rights applied to all Chartered cities andcounties as well as to the only Chartered City & County,San Francisco. Now, eight (8) years later, the City is advisingGeneral Schober and Police Commissioner that dueprocess rules currently in law should not be included inrules over hearings involving our members.COMMISSION PASSES RULESOn March 28, 1985, the Police Commissionunanimously passed the hearing rules as recommended bytheir employee, General Schober after being urged on bythe Bar Association and the American Civil LibertiesUnion. They did so over the strenuous objections of attorneyClisham and POA President Bob Barry with threatsof a lawsuit. In addition, Police Chief Cornelius P. Murphyrecommended strongly that the rules be adopted withrevisions requested by the ACLU.THE RIGHTS OF POLICE OFFICERSThe San Francisco Police Officers' Association hasnever taken the issue lightly of violations of the rights ofpolice officers. Many in our society speak forcefully andeloquently of the constitutional rights of suspectedcriminals and of the statutes that give those individualsdue process protections. HOW IRONIC IT IS THATTHOSE SAME DEFENDERS OF JUSTICE DO NOTCOMMENT POSITIVELY ON THE DUE PROCESSRIGHTS OF POLICE OFFICERS AS WELL?1. The rules as adopted VIOLATE the rights ofpolice officers to see documents relating to an investigationwhich is a gross violation of theGovernment Code.continued on page 7IN THIS ISSUEWidows & Orphans ..... ................ .Page 2Veteran Off's Assn......................Page 2Police Post ................. .............

Some guy says hehates it when doctors will tell you to give up wine, womenand song if you don't want to die before your time - particularlywhen wine, women and song are thereasons whyyou don't want to die before your time.Maybe the doctors are getting lots of competition andthey're beginning to feel the pinch. Maybe that conclusionis unfair to the doctors. I'll not complain about doctorsor nurses ever. They're the best people God ever puton this earth.Speaking of good people, have you ever stopped tothink of the wonderful people who give up so much oftheir time going to Ft. Miley every month? This reallydoesn't take that much time and you get so much good outof it. The best part of it is the annual Christmas visit. Thisis when we give out the Canteen books. If you could seethe joy in the faces of those veterans, it's worth the tripalone.I made that trip for many, many years and it gives you awarm feeling after. It's really what the American Legion,and as far as that goes, any veterans' organization is allabout.Think about it. Your dues help to do all this and more.If you're thinking of giving and receiving at the sametime, this is it.

-APRIL 1985 SAN FRANCISCO POLICEMAN Page 3PRESIDENT'SCOLUMNby Bob BarryI think it is safe to say "it's been a busy two months inoffice."Not since the '79 City. Hall riot and the political demiseof Chief Charles Gain has there been such a media focuson the San Francisco Department.Although the coverage has diminished in the past fewweeks, it's merely a "lull before the storm," as the nextloud sneeze coming from our -ranks will no doubt warrantfront page media hype. Innuendos, exaggerated facts andbold "invasion" type headlines, designed primarily to sellnewspapers, will abound in such grand "National Enquirer"style as only Chronicle reporter Bill Wallace andNewsweek's Pamela Abramson are capable of producing.Yes, it's a tragedy that we and the residents of SanFrancisco must wait with unwanted anticipation for thenext event, but we must keep one very important factor inour minds - we're here to provide a public service tothose in need and despite the negative impact for the moment,we must and will continue to provide the highest-quality service to our residents and visitors. Even thoughour own poll in an overall rating of city services placedthe police department in the middle, seventy percent saidthat the delivery of police services was excellent. That'sthe real litmus test - not the morning ink stain.OTHER EVENTSThe Office of Citizen Complaints negotiations (fiftyseven hours) over General Schober's rules have concludedin impasse. Despite his public pronouncements and hisaffable manner, General Schober has proposed a sweepingelimination of citizen and police officer rights.The negotiating process was a farce as his "bottomline" was put on the table at the inception of the meetings.We initiated a lawsuit which will be heard on April 24th.POA Attorneys David Clisham of Carroll, Burdick &McDonough, Ralph Saltsman, Vice President Ron Parenti,Board Members Tom Flippin and Don Woolard, PhilDito, Ed Garcia, Duane Collins and members PaulChignell and Reno Rapagnani are to be commended fortheir work during this process.FEDERAL COURT -We are also in Judge Peckham's court on the 24th forthree days of hearings on our lawsuit involving the"fairness" issue of changing the weights on the,Q-35/Q-50 examination. We expect a fairly quick rulingfrom the judge. -POA DAY ROOMAfter many years of talk, talk, talk, we've taken thesteps to create a Day Room at the POA. Completely furnishedwith all the amenities, we hope it gets full use bythose members wandering the halls waiting for court.Again, POA V.P. Ron Parenti took on the project whichshould be completed this week.- OTHER ITEMSWe had a one day seminar for the Board of Directorsand gave the members instruction on representingmembers and an overview of pension, salary, grievance,stress and legal aspects. We'll,, continue to do this on aregular basis. -Finally, the Picnic Committee is in operation lookingfor a site, and a complete re-evaluation of our insuranceprogram is under review. We expect to make substantialchanges in the near future.VICEPRESIDENT'SCOLUMNby Ron ParentiRESPONSIBLEJOURNALISM?Responsible journalism? Does it exist in the city's morningdaily? I think not. It appears to me that "The Voiceof The West" has turned into the disgrace of the west.Headlines shout "Armed S.F. Cops Invade Classroom"and editorial cartoons show a policeman pointing a gun ata child playing jacks. These are serious matters definitelyrequiring an investigation. But did it happen that way? Youknow and I know and I think that before that story wasprinted, the Chronicle knew the answer to that question andthat answer is NO.Sensationalism it -seems has become the norm with themorning fish wrap. Responsible journalism, hard investigativereporting,- undercovering true and accurate newsitems, is not being undertaken. The bottom line with theChronicle is nothing more than what will sell papers.It is too bad that the police officers of this city and thepublic it serves has to be subjected to such irresponsible,and shoddy news reporting. The American press, like' thiscountry's law enforcement officers, has a code of ethics.Maybe it is time the newspapers of this city review it.A POLICEMAN'S LOT/MannyCoreris(CHiEF, 1HE ,e-r is Re,4wWr IV a- C10 ' T -rc b 0 somom id4 00 LeT-nwR6t,J-rs,J,4rMg ;4114EI-4 $MEs-7f04c? ......ILL 6TvEf Coi.Jf) nZ ASECRETARY' SCOLUMNby Dan LinehanHAVE ?'a.Last month's edition of the Policemannewspaper was, at least for me, very interesting.Most articles submitted dealt with the arrests oftwo individuals for misdemeanor crimes. Crimes,were it not for their names, would never have castthe media eye upon the police department.After reading the article authored by Mike Hebel titled,Wht's Right With The San Francisco Police Department?,I began to wonder, what would it take to better the perceptionof the S.F.P.D? What would it take to make eachmember of our department aware of the role they play inmaking the S.F.P.D. a great place to work? We all shouldremember the recent benefit increases approved by the SanFrancisco voters. Time and one half for holidays and overtime,night differential pay, and Honda hazard pay all wereadopted since 1982. I can not believe that the general publicdoes not support their police department. The simple fact- of their support at the ballot box, shows that they will sup-.port us when our cause is right. Can we expect supportwhen we arewrong? I think not. We must realize that weare all responsible for âur individual acts but they reflectupon us as a whole. The local media has chosen to noticeonly the weak points of the police department. We mustlearn to not allow ourselves into compromising situations.That will bring public discredit upon our loved ones, thedepartment, or ourselves. We can never control the media,but if we control our actions - on and off duty - theywill be forced to look in different directions.P.O.A. ResponsibilitiesThe officers of our association have been elected to leadand to give direction on issues that affect our membership.The Board of Directors consists of twenty-two individualsfrom all areas of the department. They are concerned withmaintaining benefits, increasing benefits, protecting therights of police officers, and providing the best workingconditions possible within their station or detail. We knowof the solid work performed by members of the department,but somehow those efforts are not focused upon by the localpress. Therefore, I request that the captains andlieutenants forward to me each arrest or investigationthat is performed above and beyond the call of duty.Individual officers are encouraged to submit informationto me also. I will then place a brief but descriptive accountof their incident in a monthly article. The article will appearin this newspaper and is intended to show ourselvesand our readership, that we are worthy of their support.People will be amazed at the daily arrest and investigatorysituations members of the S.F. P. D. find themselves ineveryday. Please send copies of police reports with any additionalinformation to me at the P.O.A. I hope this month'sarticle will advance moral in the department and make ita little better to be a police officer in San Francisco.KINGBAIL BONDSDENNIS JUSTINManaging Agent- (415) 5523968 18 Boardman Place24 Hour Service San Francisco CA 94103__ -Yrs, SEVrRAL.

HembyS.F. P. D. Retired'1u'i'-"? 14A /lA,HEH He Hf H.I seldom like to reprint what has been published in othernewspapers, however, recently I came across a letter to theeditor in the Sacramento Bee that struck a cord. The letterwas in response to an article deriding military pensions.Take My PensionRe John Bickerman's article, "The absurd costs ofmilitary pensions" (Forum, March 17): I won't say whatbiliousness wells up inside me when I think of bailingmy mortally wounded bombardier out over Anzio Beachin my final, futile effort to save him. I want to be emotionalabout the particular issues of retirements and pensions,and most especially about the larger question ofthese United States of America, what itowes to whom,and what is owed to it. And how will these debts be ptid?Don't take the money from hardware because thatmeans industrial America will suffer; take it from thepeople, who are America and who have demonstratedtheir love and dedication at the Berlin Wall, the DMZin Korea, in Lebanon of 1958, in Cuba in '61-62, in theCongo, in Vietnam, where the last ignominy was played -out. That's where I spent my years in the service ofAmerica. -I didn't know what my pension was going to be whenI retired. I never thought "pension." I thought and ateand slept my hot and cold war jobs, and when I ran outof gas the medics talked me into a disability pension fora leg, arm, hand and back that didn't work as well aswhen I started out at age 18. I hadn't thought I was thatdisabled.Go ahead, take the pension; it is the last of everythingI've seen lost in America, anyway. Our pride, ethics,honesty, patriotism. It would be no great loss, really.I have the things that count: Good memories of greatdays when we all held our heads high, when we werethe "good guys" and we beat the "bad guys." I haveanother job, of course. Don't most American familieshave two job-holders? My current job is helping otherpeople in small ways. It's a sort of extension of whatI thought I had been doing in the military service - helpingin a big way.S.J. VELARDELt. Col., USAF, Ret.SacramentoI think the Colonel's remarks can echo our own feelingsabout what is occurring in this state to police pensions. Itis no secret multi-tier pension programs are the city's wayof robbing our retirement. Couple the multi-tier programsto President Reagan's plans to tax disability pensions andyou will have effectively done to the police, what is proposedfor the military!I don't know if you've read the latest Field poll concerningthe death penalty, however, there was an interestingquestion asked. 83% of the people polled or more than fourout of five Californians favor the death penalty.The question I found so interesting was this, "The deathpenalty acts as a protection against possible further crimeswhich might be committed by the guilty person." Seventysixpercent agreed with this question.But it's the twenty-two percent who disagreed who reallyinterest me.Now if you are the guilty person in a death penalty case,where, I would assume that penalty has been imposed,would you not be precluded from committed further crimes?Oh yes! For you statisticians, 2% had no opinion.Wing Wo & Co.3436-A 19th St.San Francisco, CA 94110

Page 4 SAN FRANCISCO POLICEMAN APRIL 1985POLICE FACILITIES EVALUATIONIntroduction by Dave HermanChairman, Uniform & Safety CommitteeBeginning with this issue of the PolicethanNewspaper the members of the Uniform andSafety Committee will be devoting their time andenergies in evaluating the numerous facilities beingused throughout this Department. Their appraisalsand recommendations will bedocumented in an ongoing series of articles thatwill appear in this publication over the nextseveral months.Northern Station 841 Ellis St. (Circa 1985)A PORTRAIT OF NORTHERN STATIONBy Larry Bars etti& Marsha Ashe"No item of police equipment or property has thepotential of providing or denying optimal utilization ofcommand and supportive personnel than the buildingitself." Municipal Police Administration, 1971When asked to evaluate and write about the physical environmentof Northern Station, we faced the task withhumor tinged with despair and at times despair tinged withhumor. It's difficult to assess a facility which sometimestakes the ambiance of a Sunset Scavenger dumpster wherepeople work in bad light, stale air and among garbage,fleas and flies. The sworn and civilian personnel of theSan Francisco Police Department need and requirefacilities which assist, or at least do not hinder us in ouralready difficult jobs. Until we have these facilities ourtask of "evaluating and writing about" our existingfacilities remains a serious one. And at Northern Stationwe recognized the inherent difficulty of making sense outof a building which like the Winchester Mystery Housesimply doesn't make any sense.Northern Station, originally designed in 1910 as theAdams School, was remodelled as a police station in1927. It has stood in its present condition, with the exceptionof some minor remodeling in 1972, a new coat ofpaint in 1983, and an aborted attempt to spruce it up withthe planned inclusion of the facility as "Metro DivisionHeadquarters," which since moved to Central Station.The station was designed to house a maximum of 160employees. Today we have over 200 officers alone. Accordingto modern station design theory it is recommend-Double & triple parking of patrol cars. No employee parking atall!Old wiring still hanging in lunchroom.ed that 120 square feet be allowed per officer. At NorthernStation we have 53 square feet per officer. Many ofour problems are ones of overcrowding (i.e. as many asthree officers to a locker during training); many others arenot.The main room is the staging area of the assemblyroom. This room is also the booking area where prisonersare cuffed to two long metal benches waiting for booking.Before lineup the prisoners are either uncuffed, shuttledinto one of the two adjoining rooms and guarded or theyare left on the bench behind the officers. The StationKeeper's desk is enclosed in such a way that visual contactwith all the prisoners on the bench and the exit door isCombination victim, witness interview room, mail room, storageroom & report writing room.obscured. The door leading to the parking and to freedomfor prisoners is easily opened from the inside. This makesescape not only possible but quite easy as documented bynumerous escapes from Northern. The booking counter istoo central and the area too large for adequate control ofprisoners and should be isolated from the bulk of policeactivity and nearer the holding cells.The two adjoining rooms are "multiuse rooms." Thesmaller one is used as a computer room and has threedilapidated desks. The other room, a "mail room," consistsof three equally dysfunctional desks, military greenfiling cabinets which mysteriously disappear, reappearand rearrange themselves. These desks and cabinets areapparently part of the asthetic decor as most of the drawersdon't open. This room is used to interview suspects, victimsand write reports. The noise level is incessant and exceptionallyhigh. None of these three rooms have anysound-proofing, few doors and the walls don't extend tothe ceiling.We have two typewriters available to the officers. Oneof these is the station keeper's and is in constant use forbooking. The other is lying in parts in the mail room. Ofthe 16 chairs (at last count) only three were useable. Theremaining 13 lacked legs, backs, and seats.A janitor arrives and sweeps the floors and disinfectsthe holding area. Attention, however, never extendsabove baseboard level. Sinks, toilets, doors and windowsremain encrusted and filthy. In the men's shower, algae isallowed to grow and the wooden slats (like those used inrestaurant kitchens) are slimey and slippery. For thisreason the showers are seldom used. Women lack anyshower facilities.The entire station is littered with garbage. During theweekend every corner will be filled with wads of paper,cigarette butts, and yesterday's bag lunch. Not because ofthe untidiness of the officers but because the one existinggarbage can is filled and already overflowing. We have noother garbage cans. In fact, neither the men or women'sbathrooms even have garbage cans. At best a cardboardbox is used which is obviously neither hygienic nor pleasant.Due to this level of clutter and filth, the station suffersseasonal sieges of flies, fleas and cockroaches.In order to get to the locker rooms one must pass the"holding cells." It is not uncommon to have to walkthrough urine and feces and slime seeping from the cellarea. The smell of human excrement permeates the areaand often invades the small, dingy room, euphemisticallycalled the "lunch room." This room, accessible onlythrough one of the men's locker rooms, was until recentlyNo lanes of exit for. emergency response.furnished with small grade school desks. These deskswere removed and it was thought would be replaced witha table and chairs. Instead, the desks were refinished atgreat expense and will be returned to the room.The lack of parking is legendary at Northern. We havetwenty-four regularly assigned radio cars and only twelveparking spaces. Three of these spaces are assigned to theCaptain, the on-duty Lieutenant and the Station Keeperwhich leaves nine spaces for patrol vehicles. At shiftchange radio cars are either double parked in front of thestation which creates congestion, traffic hazards, andcomplaints from neighbors or cars are parked on the exitramp which makes leaving the station in the event of anemergency run impossible. There are no allocated parkingareas for personal cars.The bulding is unreinforced brick of questionable"seismic adequacy." In other words, it's unlikely thatNorthern Station would withstand an earthquake of anysubstantial magnitude. Our emergency power generator isdesigned to run off of a PG&E gas line. Even if the linesurvived intact we would still lose our power. PG&Eautomatically shuts down all gas lines during a naturalMen's rest room & combined janitorial storage space.Unsecured electrical equipment in men's locker room.disaster due to fire hazards. The inability of the station tostand, much less function, during an emergency of thismagnitude should be cause enough to expedite building anew station.In summary, any evaluation of Northern Station mustnecessarily be a study of negativity. From the crampedCaptain's office to the business office which is an embarrassmentto the "multi-use room" to the Spanish Inquisitionstyle holding cells the station is functionally obsoleteand irreparable. It is an unimpressive, filthy, unhealthy,unsafe and inadequate structure in which to conduct anybusiness, let alone police business. If there is any positivestatement to be made about Northern Station, it is that itstands as a tribute to the dedication and motivation of themen and women who work here. In spite of the degradingand deplorable conditions we continue to work and wework well.

APRIL 1985 SAN FRANCISCO POLICEMAN Page 5SEAL BEACH DECISION:THE CITY RESPONDSPolice PromotionalSettlement NegotiationsBy Dan LinehanSecretaryThe City and County of San Francisco, throughthe City Attorney's Office, has responded to theAssociation's request to sue, based upon the StateSupreme Court decision of Seal Beach P.O.A. vs.the City of Seal Beach. As you know, the Associationhas requested the State Attorney General'sOffice for permission to file suit in SuperiorCourt, against the City for their failure to complywith state mandated "meet and confer" requirements.The Seal Beach decision held thatcities and counties of California must "meet andconfer prior to proposingcharter amendments thataffect wages, hours, or other terms and conditionsof employment."After the police strike in August 1975, the Board ofSupervisors sponsored three (3) charter amendments thataffected how our wages are set, new pension plan for officershired after November 1975 (tier II) and non-paymentOf accumulated sick time upon retirement. We are nowseeking to strike these charter amendments, returning toconditions of employment for police officers prior to thestrike.CITY ATTORNEY CRIES FOULThe City Attorney, George Agnost, cited the estimatedcost to the city, if we are successful, to be 44 million dollarsper year or 1.5 billion by the year 2000, as the main reasonthe Attorney General should deny our request. The cost,as projected by their paid actuarial, is mainly due to thecorrection of the retirement system. If the amendment(Prop. "L" 1975) is stricken from the charter, then theMarch 13, 1985- #85-28SAN FRANCISCOPOLICE OFFICERS' ASSN.BULLETINTO: ASSOCIATION MEMBERSFROM: FEDERAL LITIGATION COMMITTEEAt the Board of Directors and General Membershipmeeting scheduled for Tuesday, March 19, 1985 thebelow proposal was discussed.1. Permanent appointments to the position ofSergeant and Assistant Inspector shall be made in rankorder from the lists as developed by the ConsentDecree using the original weighting system as set bythe Civil Service Commission in September 1983.2. The eligibility list established pursuant toparagraph 1 hereinabove shall be in effect for a periodof two years from the date of the certification of thelists.3. 270 permanent appointments shall be made inrank order from the Q-50 list. (Note that at this pointadverse impact to minorities is at its minimum point.)4. 76 permanent appointments shall be made fromthe Q-35 eligibility list. This represents the number ofappointments required by the Consent Decree whichmust be made by the end of the second year of the lifeof the list.5. Temporary - appointments of protected classmembers shall be made immediately following the appointmentof the last permanent positions at 270 on theQ-50 list and at 76 on the Q-35 list.6. The protected class members receiving the temporaryappointments shall be those members appointedin rank order whose names appear after the 270th positionand the 76th position on the Sergeant and AssistantInspector list respectively.7. The temporary positions specified hereinaboveshall be appointed until 100% parity between minorityand non-minorities shall be achieved. Once this parityis reached, no further temporary or permanent positionsare to be made from these lists. In the event that aprotected class candidate appears on both parity liststhat individual shall be carried as both a temporarySergeant and a temporary Assistant Inspector for purposesof computing parity.8. Temporary positions are to remain in effect for atleast six (6) months but no longer than that date whenthe succeeding Q-50 and Q-35 lists are certified.9. Temporary positions are to be made either by appointmentby the chief pursuant to the guidelines setforth in the Consent Decree or pursuant to a ConsentDecree sponsored in-service training funded by theAuditor-Monitor office. Selection for this program willrequire that the affected candidate is a protected classmember who appears on the current Q-50 and/or Q-35City must operate under the pre-existing charter provisions,as if the amendment had never been adopted. In the opinionof the City Attorney, Proposition "L" was necessaryto protect the City from overwhelming liabilities to theretirement system created by the voters' passage of Proposition"H" in 1974. Proposition "H" granted the currentcost of living adjustment to all present and formerpolice/fire department members hired prior to November1976. What Mr. Agnost does not say is that the Board ofSupervisors placed Proposition "H" on the ballot in 1974and a majority of voters adopted the measure.THE POLITICS OF THECITY ATTORNEYWe must expect the City Attorney to attempt to derailour suit. This case has drawn interest from all parts ofCalifornia. Parties on both sides of this issue, have concernsthat must be addressed. Mr. Agnost forwarded asurvey to all charter cities and counties in the state advisingthem of our association's actions and the potentialramifications. He estimates that 35 charter amendmentsadopted statewide, would be challengeable, should we win.Additionally, Mr. Agnost states that at least 73 other charteramendments adopted in San Francisco since 1970 are subjectto the same objections. However, I recently researchedthe local charter amendments cited by the City Attorneyand found that the majority of the charter amendments wereeither supported by the P.O.A. or had no effect upon thewages, hours, or other terms of employment of San Franciscopolice officers. Clearly the City Attorney is attemptingto smoke screen our efforts to force the City into compliancewith state law. It is worthy to note that should theCity lose this case Mr. Agnost would be subjected to thepolitical winds and fall-out that surely will follow. Windand contamination that no politician wants when they muststand for re-election in six months.lists in rank order. The selected candidates will work inassignments as Sergeants and/or Asssitant Inspectorsand shall be paid at the rate for Sergeant or AssistantInspector respectively.10. The . City and County of San Francisco shallprepare forthwith new Q-50 and Q-35 examinations.11. The City and County of San Francisco is to continuewith the appointments of twenty-five (25) additionalSergeants and fifteen (15) additional AssistantInspectors each August first during the remaining termof the Consent Decree pursuant to Section 1 of theConsent Decree.12. The Consent Decree unit shall be staffed andfunded as necessary to assure attaining the conditionsand terms of this settlement.13. Temporary appointments are prohibited frombecoming permanent appointments with no right toseniority or transfer policy.14. Monetary sanctions will be imposed on the Cityfor non-compliance with this agreement.Kitty Korner741 O'FarrellSan Francisco 771-5707CUSTOM ORDERSTAINED GLASSSan Francisco Police Shield$125.00Joe Weatherman, Co. A, 467-1319398 Alvarado St., Brisbane, Ca. 94005CHP, SF SHERIFF, OAKLAND& BARTALSO IN STOCKThe position of the San Francisco Police OfficersAssociation regarding Department promotionshas been that the Department is obligated toadminister fair and impartial examinations. Wefully expect the exams to be conducted in a professionalmanner and that they are valid and jobrelated. We have also requested that they be administeredin a timely fashion, in order to fillvacancies as they occur.This position seems to be a reasonable one;however, our exam process is caught in aquagmire. The reason simply is that the resultsare not correctly ethnic or sexually coordinatedto meet the proper statistical anticipation of theother parties to the consent -decree. The followingis the current status of our exams.Sergeant/Assistant Inspectors ExamThree settlement offers have been rejected by theP.O.A. Board of Directors. They are: total oralweighting, a blending proposal, and a cut-off scorereweighing. The reason for their rejection I can bestdescribe in the paraphrased words of Judge Peckham. Itseems fair that candidates know the weighting prior to theexam, otherwise the results may seem contrived.The P.O.A. has not been rigid regarding settlementnegotiations. A fourteen point settlement proposal hasbeen ratified and submitted to the parties of the decree. Asof this date, no response has been received.On April 24, 25, and 26, 1985, a hearing will be held inFederal Court to determine if candidates' rights are trammeledif the City utilizes the oral exam as the solecriterion to promote on the Sergeants and Inspectorsexam.Lieutenants ExamThe P.O.A. waived the sixty day review period. ThePublic Advocates invoked their right of review under theconsent decree and have requested the answers tonumerous questions.The City Attorney has rendered an opinion of JudgeRoy Wonders' order that the second lieutenants exam processis an extension of the first, in which fifty candidateswere promoted. We are expecting the results to be announcedsometime after April 18, 1985.Captains ExaminationThe Consent Decree Unit has not started work on thisexam. The Department may soon find themselves shorthandedin this area. We will be monitoring how temporaryappointments are to be made and, hopefully, provideinput regarding the decision process.Federal Litigation Committee ReportPrepared by John E.WillettJONES TOW SERVICEComplete Auto Repair775-9272 • 775-9273469 EDDY STREET S.F.24 Hour ServiceWhen in Jail and You Need BAILPhoneAL ) MArketGRAF '.. ,.i 1-7901The Bondsman with a Heart859 Bryant Street, San FranciscoAL GRAF BAIL BOND • FORMERLY KEN TILLESGREYADVERTISING50 California StSan Francisco, CA. 94111-421-1000

Page 6 SAN FRANCISCO POLICEMAN APRIL 1985IN MEMORIAMby Officer Steve JohnsonI went to pay my last respects to the sergent's examinationthe other night.The services were appropriately held at the SFPOAbuilding were the meeting room was as cold as the topic ofdiscussion warmed only by the radiant heat from the hotdogs cooking over the farberware - no doubt an offeringto the gods.The turn-out was kind of disappointing. Over 600members were obliged to offer their condolences yet I onlycounted about 25 mourners.You would have appreciated the nice send-off the examgot. Full representation from the Board of Directors, abenediction offering proposals to reconcile the problemswith the test before the impending autopsy andreassurances from the Federal Litigation Committee -how touching.My mind wandered. The whole thing seemed like ascript from an old Jackie Gleason show where RalphCramden and Ed Norton would don their raccoon capsand trade secret handshakes with their compatriots at alodge meeting.Those of us in attendance, all brothers without childishapparel or secret passwords, offered our sympathy the onlyway we knew how, by utilizing a liturgy of excuses:"We shouldn't be so demanding. We should give in,make a deal. After all, the Peckham Disease onlydestroys our backbones. We can still crawl to work."The fear of test papers being shredded and having tostart the whole process over permeated the long walls andempty chairs and worked us into a frenzy, like jackalsbefore a corpse.Members of the Board sat stoically. Their seating arrangementsreflective of the apostles at the Last Supperonly we, the members, were. the ones who wanted to exchangethe twenty silver dollars for a token rank."Let's see how many jobs we can get while there'sstill time to give The Peckman whatever he wants,"we cried.Since all of the proposals under consideration amountedto nothing but racial extortion we probably should havebeen asking. . "What right do we have to reject our principlesand pretend it's all for the best?"We probably should have said. . "Who are we kidding,thinking that temporary jobs taken from qualified candidatesmight be the solution."But we didn't.The exorcism had failed. The last rites were given. AndI left feeling a certain hatred for the discrimination that allthe candidates had been subjected to - I left feeling like aminority.GRANDMA'SSALOON1232 Noreiga StreetSan Francisco, CA 94122(415) 665-7892Richmond Station - Day Watcht S4Q8 pROpeijJOE FITZPATRICKREALTOR ASSOCIATETELEPHONE 55-C GALLI DRIVE(415) 883-7794 P.O. BOX 149NOVATO, CA94948BIG BROTHERSOF MARINOur current effort is to enlist more Novatoresidents to become Big Brothers to Novatoboys without fathers in their homes.Big Brothers of Mann County currently has a list of 20boys from Novato waiting to be matched. Some have waitedfor over a year because of the shortage of Big Brothervolunteers from that community. Novato has the largestnumber of boys waiting for Big Brothers in all of MainCounty.It is well known that a substantial number of San FranciscoPolice Department officers live in Novato. Yourassociation newsletter would be 'an excellent means of lettingthem know about our program needs in theircommunity.Big Brothers are carefully matched to boys in need ofan adult male influence during their developing years. Matchingis done on the basis of shared interests, values andpersonality. Men who volunteer say there is no feeling tocompare to the experience of being a Big Brother. Feelingthat you are the most important person in a boy's life isone of the rewards of this program. While we ask that BigBrothers make a commitment of one year, many men andtheir Little Brothers become life-long friends. The averagematch lasts 2.6 years in Mann.An additional reason for police officers to become BigBrothers is the value of showing these boys the human sideof the policeman. Law enforcement personnel have becomesome of the best Big Brothers in agencies throughout thecountry.Because Big Brothers is a preventive program providingadult male role models to help boys develop a positive at-.titude and constructive adulthood, it is considered one ofthe most effective means of preventing juveniledelinquency.Statistics from the Juvenile Probation Department inMarin show that the majority of children arrested are fromfather-absent homes. In Mann, there are over 4,000 suchhomes in which boys are growing up without the influenceof a father.Main County Superior Court Judge Richard H. Breinerhas stated: "Of the hundreds of cases that I have heard inJuvenile Court, I do not recall one in which the minor involvedin crime had had a Big Brother. I feel that thereis no better program in the county which can help ayoungster avert delinquent behavior and keep him on theroad to becoming a worthwhile citizen."I trust that the above information will be helpful in providingbackground to your members.

Butwhen it comes to labor relations matters, this City andmany of its public officials have no concept of properlabor relations. Time and time again, labor groups reversethe City in Court because gOod faith, is not maintained bythis City's managers. The San Francisco Police Officers'Association and other labor groups are pleased with oursuccesses in the Courts, but unfortunately these actionscost our, members money and time as the cases dragthrough the Courts.PERSISTENCE THROUGH ADVERSITYOur membership will not be deterred in matters such asbasic due process rights Of police officers in San Francisco.We must not allow the City to trample on our rightsdespite the power at the Police Commission of theAmerican Civil Liberties Union and the San FranciscoBar Association.I am confident that the Superior Court will uphold thePOA that police officers must be treated with respect anddignity, as well as in conformity with existing law duringhearings that could result in dihilinasyactioñ against ourmembers.APRIL 24, 1985The Board of Directors of the San Francisco Police Officers'Association urges the membership to show up incourt on April 24, 1985, and to be there at any subsequenthearings that take place on this most important issue forthe membership.SF Police CommissionChief Cornelius MurphyAmitai Schwartz, ACLU•4/42,2,e4 -cLf-L2POA President, Bob BarryPOA Attorney Dave Clisha'nPete Mezey, SF Bar Association, with POA representativesobserving--pol-ICE OMMSI0)OC-'- -General Schober and 0CC Investigator Larry ShockeyTHE SET UP: ANOTHER OUTSIDERcontinued from page 1petitiveness of these desirable, and limited promotionalslots, exacerbated by long delays resulting in bickering,mistrust, and dejection. This inexcusable promotional logjam must be broken to free up the creative energies andtalents of the Department's future leaders and managers.Since 1972 the patrol force has awaited the long promisedcareer development program which included additionaltraining, additional responsibility, rotation ofassignments, and additional compensation. It must beclearly recognized that most officers will not promote(due to the limited number of jobs) and most officers willspend their working career in the patrol force. To enhancepatrol work, a visionary and progressive career developmentprogram calls for existance.In 1976 a Charter amendment was passed creating a secondand vastly inferior retirement/disability plan for officershired after November, 1976. Now officers wonderwhy their spouses and families will receive lesser benefitsif the officer is killed in the line of duty. While talk of pensionplans is currently unfashionable, a programmed pensionimprovement plan must be developed to retain theseofficers.The current state of the patrol force vehicle fleet isdeplorable. The amount of time necessary to have minorrepairs of this fleet occur leaves much to be desired. Atorch must be set under the City's corporation yard to getthe patrol force vehicle fleet ready for the streets. Toomuch time is required for minor repairs. Mayor DianneFeinstein has set clear MBO objectives for response time.These objectives cannot be met unless radio cars areavailable for patrol.In 1989 the Consent Decree terminates. To prevent itsreimposition, steps must now be taken to ensure equal opportunityin hiring and promoting. The testing proceduremust continue to be content valid and job related, capableof withstanding judicial review. The Department mustmeet its commitment to recruit the most capable of allraces, sexs and cultural origins. The Consent Decree,while helpful at the entry level, has proven its usefulnessends there.The Department's capital improvement budget needs tofind priority among City budget red-liners. Policefacilities, especially Northern and Potrero Stations, needattention; while the two (2) mentioned stations need completerepositioning and new buildings. No successfulbusiness operation would consider the present Northernand Potrero Stations to be suitable for facilities 'for ac--complishing its objectives. Northern is a convertedemergency medical care facility. All the older facilities(Park, Richmond, Ingleside, and Taraval) could use internalrennovation.Chief Murphy needs to retain his head. The focus needsto remain on the Police Department. But please let's putaway the ax and change the lens.Deputy City Attorney Burk Delventhal

APRIL 1985 SAN FRANCISCO POLICEMAN Page 9MARCH SEMINARBENEFITTEDPOA 80ARD111ANDYouby Tom Flippin, MuniOn Saturday, March 30, 1985, a seminar washeld for POA Board members. Although attendingmeant giving up a day off (or losing 8 hourspay) turnout was excellent; all but two or threeDirectors managed to make it. The seminar wasstructured to allow various people with expertisein areas of concern to the POA to share theirknowledge with the Board and to respond toquestions from the Directors.Starting off the day was John Prentice, from StephenBley's law firm, who spoke on the problems faced bymembers who are targets of complaints or criminalcharges. Prentice covered the various rights (and duties)of members when being investigated. One important pointhe made was that members who are involved in seriouscharges or complaints should contact the POA hnmediately.Many careers are jeopardized by coips whodon't avail themselves of all possible help and advice.Next, Joe Engler and Mickey Shea, of the Sess Unit,talked about their work with officers involved in traumaticincidents, family problems, or drug/alcohol abuse. Thisunsung unit can be of tremendous help to any memberwho has a problem in these areas. Hours at the unit are:Weekdays, 95; an answering service, 5-11; and, after 11PM, through the Ops Center.Dan Linehan talked a little about the process used to setour salaries each year, then spoke at length on Citypolitics.. .specifically the Board of Supervisors. Thebehind-the-scenes politicking, who supports who, who'sin.. .and who's out is always important to us, but the nextyear or two are extremely important. Not only does thePOA have some crucial decisions to make on what propositionsto place on the ballot, but a lot of jockeying forposition will be taking place as Mayor Feinstein's lastterm ends.Paul Chignell gave us an overview of the legislativeprocess at the State level and briefly pointed out somelegislators who support or oppose issues in which we areinterested. , $tronger law enforcement bills are being passed,thanever before. Many labor issues which directly affecteach of us are also dealt with in Sacramento.Mike Hebel as next up with a talk on disability/retirementmatters. The disparity between the , Tier I and theTier II systems is one of the most important problems infront of the POA (in my opinion). Mike very clearlyshowed that Tier II, in actuality, is no retirement systemat all. People relying solely on it for retirement could be infor "a world of hurt".Rounding out the day was Bob Barry with a review ofgrievance procedures and O.C.C./Management Controlpractices. Bob emphasized the importance of memberscontacting their representatives at the beginning of a problemrather than waiting until the last minute. Memberswho are aware of their rights and representatives who getinvolved can favorably affect the outcome of many toughsituations.All in all, the seminar was of great benefit to me and, Ibelieve, to everyone who attended. In the long run, youPOA members benefit most by having informed and involvedrepresentatives giving you whatever assistancethey can.NEW DEADLINE:2nd Tues. of Each MonthTOUT de SUITECatering By Guckenheimer2549 IRVING STREET ' SAN FRANCISCOSAN FRANCISCO.

The officers are chosenvia ballots obtained at any of the United Bank's fifteenbranches, published in the neighborhood edition of theSan Francisco Progress Newspaper or by letters sentdirectly to the Chief of Police. These monthly awards include$1,000 cash provided by major San Francisco corporations,a commemorative trophy from the San FranciscoCouncil of District Merchants Association, as wellas commendations from both the Mayor and the San FranciscoBoard of Supervisors. Mr. Art Blum, of the ArtBlum Agency, has coordinated the generous support ofthe private sector with the efforts of the San FranciscoPolice Commission to implement and maintain thisprogram.Officers McConnon and Tuttleman will receive theirawards at a luncheon on Wednesday, March 27, 1985, at12:00 PM in the Victorian Room of the St. Francis Hotel.This luncheon ceremony, gracioualy hosted by theManagement of the St. Francis Hotel, will be attended bythe Chief of Police, Cornelius Murphy, SupervisorsHarry Britt and Richard Hongisto, members of the PoliceCommission, and a representative from the San FranciscoCouncil of District Merchants Association.(L to R) Officer Douglas McConnon, Supervisor Richard Hongisto, Officier Irwin Tuttleman and Chief Murphy."MY FAVORITE COP"AWARD RECIPIENT FOR MARCH, 1985 OFFICER DOUGLAS McCONNON #1256 RICHMOND STATIONCrimes committee by juveniles is an increasing problemin our society. While the criminal justice system must dealwith the youthful offenders after they have been apprehended,it is also important to prevent crime by workingwith young people and attempting to influence them sothat they develop into law-abiding citizens. Having a goodrapport with the police officers in the community is asignificant first step.In keeping with this concept, each of San Francisco'snine district stations had a police officer who patrols inwhat is commonly called the "school" car. These officersare responsible for handling all calls for service to theschools, assiting the staff and administration witn policerelatedmatters, as well as getting to know the students ona one-to-one basis through frequent visits to the schoolbuildings and surrounding campus areas.An extremely important part of this assignment is therelationship the officer build with the students.

During this time he has received numerous complimentaryletters from school officials for his work withthe students in the district. In addition, he has extendedthe performance of his assigned duties to include workingwith the police department's summer youth program,which involves officers participating in backpacking, hiking,and camping trips with young people.Officer McConnon feels that "working with kids hasbeen one of the best experiences in my life." And this attitudereveals itself clearly in the friendship that hasdeveloped between him and the students on 'his beat.Several hundred young people from George WashingtonHigh School joined together and submitted a petition naminghim as their "Favorite Cop."

APRIL 1985"MY FAVORITE COP" AWARDRECIPIENT FOR APRIL,1985OFFICER IRWIN G. TUTTLEMAN #1421NORTHERN STATIONProviding "Beat Cops" for all of San Francisco'sneighborhoods is one of our department's highestpriorities. Officers who patrol in a radio car, due to thenature of their assignment, are often not as accessible tomembers of the community. They must answer calls forservice transmitted to them by the communications dispatchers,and in the busier districts, this alone can keep themmoving rapidly from place to place. Also, since they aremobile they have a larger geographic area to partol. Thismakes it more difficult for them to get to know citizens intheir car sector. A beat cop, howeer, walks the samestreets on a daily basis and has the time to develop a workingrelationship with the citizens in the area. An officer inthis type of assignment is a very visible, dependablerepresentative of the police department. Merchants knowhe'll be stopping in everyday to discuss police and communitymatters, or just to say hello. Residents of the areaare likely to get to know him as they go about their dailyactivities. And his constant presence is a deterrent tocriminals. This availability, whether it be to take directpolice action, arbitrate a minor dispute, or simply toanswer questions is of significant importance to thecitizens of our various neighborhoods.The residents and merchants in the Marina District appreciatetheir beat cop for the exact reasons outlinedabove. So much so, that they circulated a petition togather signatures as votes for Officer Irwin "Jerry" Tuttiemanas their "Favorite cop."Officer Tuttleman, the recipient of the "My FavoriteCop" award for the month of April and a twenty-nineyear veteran of the San Francisco Police Department, hasspent the last five years assigned to the Chestnut Streetbeat in the Marina District. A former commanding officer,Captain Charles Schuler, praised Officer Tuttlemanby saying that he has developed an excellent working relationshipwith the merchants in the area. The merchantsand residents who signed and circulated the petitiondescribed Officer Tuttleman as courteous, conscientious,and said, "we are very greatful to have San Francisco'sbest right here in the Marina District."OFFICER IRWIN G.

CA 941142340 LombardSan FranciscoINTERNATIONALAUTOBODY 346m59OOSAN FRANCISCO POLICEMANOFF WITH THEIR HEADS!The "cops' takeover/invasion' ' of E.R.Taylor Elementary School has caused a greatdeal of justified hysteria. Police officers KirkBrookbush and Tim Dempsey contactedVirginia Gordon, principal of Taylor ElementarySchool and asked her permission to use aclassroom while participating in a training exercise.Ms. Gordon cleared the classroom ofteacher and students before she escorted the officersinto the classroom. Twenty minutes laterthe officers left the school. The ensuing eventswarrant grave concern, if not hysteria, by everySan Francisco resident!Myra Kopf, president of the San Francisco Board ofEducation, called for the removal of Principal Gordon,who has over 30 years of dedicated service with the SanFrancisco Unified School District. Kopf was "Shockedand outraged at what happened at Taylor School." Amental giant by the name of Michael Bickford wrote to theExaminer identifying himself as "a teacher and a supporterof our public schools." This molder of children'sminds was undaunted by the facts. He wrote, "I cannotwithhold my condemnation of the arrogant, callous andpsychologically brutal invasion of Taylor ElementarySchool." Our hero went on to mention that during classdiscussion, his students' first concern was the"psychological trauma" on impressionable youngstudents. Our scholar then, apparently having access to informationno one else has, made reference to the officers'"macho swaggering." Most alarming, however, was thereported reaction of School Board member JoAnneMiller. She was quoted as saying "I think my neighborsfeel terrorized because the cops are constantly around."Miller, who lives near Taylor School, was further quotedas saying that heavy police presence in the neighborhoodhas sparked complaints from residents.I have no choice but to agree with the outcry for headsto roll! Let's start with removing the president of theBoard of Education. Is she "shocked and outraged" bythe drugs or crime prevalent in our schools? No, shewants to remove a courageous, honest, hardworkingwoman who has spent the last 30 years educating ourchildren; What was Virginia Gordon's crime? She alloweda number of children to catch a fleeting glimpse of twoSan Francisco police officers!!! Let's also removeMichael Bickford from the classroom at least until hereturns to reality and decides to teach children facts,rather than fiction And last, but certainly not least, let'snot forget JoAnne Miller next election. When Ms. Millertries to convince us that her neighbors feel "terrorized"by heavy police presence in the neighborhood and oftencomplain about it, I must conclude that Ms. Miller iseither less than truthful or she is very confused. I havespent most of my 16 year police career working in Ms.Miller's neighborhood, the Potrero Police District. I havefound that the merchants and residents of the PotreroPolice District are among the most ardent supporters ofthe San Francisco Police Department. Ms. Miller is thefirst resident of San Francisco that I have ever heardwhine about too much police presence! The absurdity ofher statements speak for themselves.In closing, I am compelled to mention the "cops" who"tookover/invaded" Taylor School, Kirk Brookbush andTim Dempsey. If I ever have a loved one being heldhostage I hope and pray that Kirk Brookbush or TimDempsey are on the scene.

Congratulations on yourelection victory!Exam FrustrationTo: Lois Salisbury - PublicAdvocatesYou and I don't know eachother and have never corresponded- so I'm going totake the initial step with thisnote—Concerning the Q50-Q35examination and appointmentcontroversy - I don'tbelieve that in the modernhistory of this Departmentthat any problem has soovershadowed or unnervedthe membership as has theconstant and unwarrantedopposition to the Sergeants'and Asst. Inspectors' list asevidenced by argument andrevision of the scoring,grading and publishing ofthis most vital and importantPromotional process.If the purpose of thisunrelenting legal "skirmishing,"is to establish anethnic balance to this list,you may have succeeded, butat a cost far more than youand Public Advocates everimagined. And I amreasonably sure that the P.A.criteria for our promotionswithin our Dept. is basedupon minority and ethnicbackground and certainpercentages within that scope- no matter what theoutcome.Well, let me tell you, Lois,there is far more to Law EnforcementCommand responsibilitythan the opinions andconclusions of the P.A..In my opinion, up to thispoint, Advocates hasdowngraded the morale ofmany Officers, embarrassedus, and posed serious concernsfor members, bothmale and female, who havetried and studied so diligentlyfor these positions. As anattorney you must realizethat the legal and moralissues that Public Advocateshas espoused have far moreCareer and social effects thanyou have imagined. Theseactions have and will effectPolice Officers for manyyears to come and have causedenough "ill will" to filla traditional "bucket."Neither P.A. or any otherfirm representing the Publicinterest can continuallydiscourage or deny or ruleagainst or oppose sworn Officers- their duties andchances for promotion - butto this date you have done agreat job!I just can't imagine anyperson or firm who has suchgreat authority over an advancementprocess withinour Civil Service system,such as it is, to the point ofdictating and approving whoattains rank and which raceor color they have to be -Many Officers of my acquaintancehave questionedthe reasons for Public Advocates'adamant posture -and have told me, "Sarge, ifI achieve the first step in thepromotional ladder, I want toearn it with study andcapability, not to be chosenand appointed because of myrace or sex" - Quote andunquote!So, Lois Salisbury, considerthese viewpoints. Youaren't going to have to makethe Patrol, Investigative orManagement decisions thatwe are required to. No doubtthat you are certain that P.A.is approaching the promotionalsituation with strictguidelines in the areas ofquotas and "adverse impact"without great concernas to the actual Supervisionprocess.In sum, your firm hascaused argument that defiescredibility - I am veryhopeful that our Departmentwill, in time, surpass thispresumptuous tamperingwith our basic and Commandstructure and thusly allow usto sustain, within our meansand expertise, the ability topromote ourselves and maintainour Public integrity.Sincerely,James McDonaldCo. FMediaBashing?EditorSan FranciscoChronicle -901 Mission St.,San Francisco,California 94103Editor:I would like to commendthe Chronicle staff for theirrecent coverage of theSF.P.D. follies. I particularlythink special mentionshould be given to BillWallace and Warren Hincklefor their performances,which I consider to be farabove and beyond their callof duty.These two writers, withonly the help of MerriamWebster, have created a styleof writing that is not onlynew, but most unique. Thisstyle, "The Inflatable Story"has destroyed all of thecredence of the cliche: "Youcan't make chicken salad outof chicken shit."In the meantime, theS.F.P.D. continues to performtheir duties to thepublic, somewhat shamed,somewhat embarrassed, butnever-the-less, diligent. Ithink that the S.F.P.D. hashad enough of this "MediaBashing," and the time hascome to give praise and support.It may not be heavenwith them, but I know itwould be hell without them.Sincerely yours,Stephen P.

Perhaps the degreeof coverage given this incidentcan be attributed to aneditorial concern that, inlight of recently reportedactivities of the SFPDcounter-sniper team, the issuanceof a detailed reportmight cloud the Hinkle (esque)picture (so carefullynatured of late) with an annoyingelement ... reality.I further applaud yourtenacity, in the fact of whatmust be strong peerpressure, in covering onlystories that are in step withcurrent editorial emphasis;this, while the electronicmedia and other newspaperspersist, in a tawdry and sensationalisticmanner, inrelaying facts as theyhappen.Sincerely,Dennis J.

Page 18 - SAN FRANCISCO POLICEMAN APRIL 1985VIOLENT INMATES-EXTENDED TERMSPRESLEY, McCORQUODALE, STIRLINGOFFER FOUR-BILL PACKAGE TO EX-TEND TERMS OF VIOLENT INMATES,LENGTHEN CONFINEMENT FORDANGEROUS MENTALLY DISORDEREDA major four-bill package, aimed at helping tokeep violent felons and the dangerous mentallydisordered off the streets to protect the public,and drafted under auspices of Senator RobertPresley, had its first public airing at a Sacramentonews conference."I believe this is the most concerted effort thusfar toward meeting this increasingly critical problem,said Presley." "The bills should also helpreduce prison violence, perhaps by a third."The bills, with Senator Dan McCorquodale(D-San Jose) and Assemblyman Larry Stirling(R-San Diego) as co-sponsors, would authorize:1) the Board of Prison TErms (BPT) to extend,in two-year increments and after dueprocesshearings, the sentence of inmates committingserious violent acts in prison. Court prosecutionis now required and estimates are thatno more than 25% of such cases are now prosecutedby District Attorneys. (SB 1246)2) holding the violent mentally disordered offenderadditional treatment, including statehospital confinement, for up to several yearsbeyond sentence expiration as a condition ofparole. Few are now held with the Departmentof Corrections estimating it has 150-175 such inmatesnow awaiting parole and 2,400 such per-Sons undergoing psychiatric treatment, 80% ofwhom are in prison for violent offenses. (SB1296)3) holding those convicted of attemptedmurder on a life-maximum sentence, as is thecase with murderers, on grounds that the intentof the person who attempts murder is the same asthat of the person who murders. "Only his aimwas worse," said Presley. (SB 424)4) sentencing the "repeat murder" - the onewho kills, goes to prison, is paroled and killsagain - to life without possibility of parole.Such inmates can be paroled now. The billwould affect relatively few inmates, though twosuch instances have surfaced in the Sacramentoarea alone recently. Bill being drafted.The bills would modify the determinate sentence, in effectsince 1976, for inmates in the above categories. Atleast 95% of the inmates who finish their sentences andare released yearly (roughly 21,000) would not be affectedby the act.The bill package stems primarily from a hearing held inDecember by Presley on whether there are constitutionalways to hold violent and mentally disordered offendersbeyond the end of their sentences if they give strong indicationof being a danger to society, offenders such asArthur Richard Jackson, attacker of actress TheresaSaldana who says he will kill her on release in 1988, andhammer murderer Theodore Streleski."We have drafted the bills carefully, attempting tobalance the public's safety and the individual's rights,"said Presley."I am not advocating a return to the indeterminatesentence but our current structure needs some readjustment,"commented Presley, author of many of the majorcriminal justice and sentencing bills in recent years. "Thebills would add inmates to our overcrowded prisons, butthere are some problems that just cannot wait," he added."These bills should also help reduce the present unacceptablelevel of prison violence when inmates realizeviolent conduct can mean extended sentences." RobertRoos, BPT member, and co-drafter of SB 1246, estimatesit could reduce the 1,000 plus serious violent incidents ayear by a half to two-thirds in time.The bills in more detail:PUBLIC PROTECTION ACT, SB 1246 (Presley)Based on a plan devised by Roos and Evan McKenzie,San Diego County Deputy District Attorney. In a typicalyear, roughly 1,000 inmates can be tied to violent aggressiveacts in prison that could possibly place themunder this bill's terms. It would also extend parole periodfor offenders who had their sentences extended under itsterms.The bill would give the board authority to extendsentences in up-to-two year increments for an offenderwho engaged in or incited violent conduct resulting in orthreatening death or serious injury while in prison. Thetwo-year add-ons could not exceed the total years of theaggravated term for the offense for which the offenderwas sent to prison (6 years, for burglary, for instance).Due process hearings with attorney would be required foreach add-on.The extensions would apply concurrently, not consecutively,with any loss of work-time credits or additionalsentence given to an inmate by a court for a violentact while in prison. The bill would apply only to personssentenced after effective date of the act.The Departments of Corrections or Mental Health, orthe DA from the county from. which the inmate wassentenced, could petition the BPT for a hearing on extendingan inmate's sentence under the bill's terms.VIOLENT MENTALLY DISORDERED OF-FENDERS ACT, SB 1296 (Senator Dan McCorquodale,Author with Presley as Principal Coauthor.)SB 1296 would permit the Departments of Correctionsand Mental Health to hold such an offender beyond hissentence if his situation met certain requirements. Treatmentcould be out-patient or inpatient (as at AtascaderoState Hospital) as a condition of parole, for the inmate'sparole period, if the inmate:- was under treatment for mental disorder in prisonwhich would not be in remission at time his sentence is toexpire- his disorder contributed to a crime involvingviolence for which he or she was originally sentencedThe inmate could request a BPT Terms hearing to contestinvoluntary retention. To hold him beyond his paroleperiod, a court hearing would be required every 12 months,based on the above standards.Under current Lanterman Penis Short Act requirements,the state must prove beyond a reasonabledoubt the inmate would be likely to commit dangerousacts upon release, a much stiffer standard. Few such hearingsare ever attempted in inmate cases. Would apply toexisting inmates.ATTEMPTED-MURDER OFFENDERS ACT, SB 424(Presley)Originally requested by Attorney General John VanVan de Kamp. It would place those convicted of attemptedmurder under an indeterminate seven-years-to-lifesentence rather than the fixed range, 5-7-9 years as is nowprovided. This is the same structure under whichmurderers are now held. Both would be under jurisdictionof the BPT which would determine parole dates. It couldapply only in future convictions.Such offenders can now get out in as little as 2- 1/2 yearswith work-time credits. The law would apply to a relativelysmall number of inmates in the future.REPEAT-MURDERER SENTENCING ACT(Presley) Bill is being drafted.Would establish life sentence without possibility ofparole for persons who kills, is paroled and kills again.Would apply to conviction of first or second degreemurder. Of those paroled for first degree murder inCalifornai since Jan. 1, 1945, (2,621) only 27 have beenconvicted of new homicides (I%) so it would affect arelatively small number of inmates. "But I believe suchpersons have forfeited their right to live in our society,"Presley said.However, two instances have recently occurred in theSacramento area to which the bill may apply: George F.Payne, accused of killing a Sacramento teenager; onparole for shooting death of 2 persons in Oakland in 1974;and Robert H. Nicholaus, accused of killing his ex-wife;killed his 3 children in 1964, served 13 years.Under current determinate sentencing, the judgebasically has a choice of three terms, called themitigating, presumptive (or average) and aggravatedterms (such as 2, 4, 6 years for burglary) depending on theseriousness and the circumstances of the crime. Under SB1246, the judge would add on but hold in abeyance an additionalsentence equal to the aggravated term (such as 6years for burglary). This would be the maximum additionaltime that could be added to an inmate's sentence, inup-to-two-year segments, for conduct such as thatdescribed below, after hearings by the Board of PrisonTerms:- Physically assaultive behaviro involving death orserious bodily harm upon another while in prison- Incitement to riot in a "clear and present danger"situation- Threatening death or injury to the victim, witneses oranyone connected with the case for which he was sentenced,or against anyone if he had the ability to carry out thethreat- Getting someone else to commit such acts.Senator McCorquodale's SB 1296 could affect up to300-400 of the 800 mentally ill offenders who now get outroutinely at the conclusion of their prison sentences eachyear. Under Section 2684 of the Penal Code, Correctionscan now send mentally disordered offenders toAtascadero State Hospital for extended treatment that cannotbe provided in the prison system, but they cannot beheld beyond setence expiration without a court trial underthe Lanterman-Petri Short Act. Currently, there are 147inmates at Atascadero sent there by Corrections, thoughthe hospital has at least 150 additional beds that could beused for such mentally disordered offenders. Jackson, forinstance, Saldana's attacker, is under treatment at CMCVacaville, has never been sent to Atascadero."I do not understand why Corrections and MentalHealth do not make more use of these provisions of law;few LPS hearings are ever held," commented Presley.Corrections has about 2,200 inmates under psychiatriccare in its facilities.SENTENCING COMMISSIONSenator Presley's SB 1246 would also set up a14-member California Sentencing Commission to critiquefunctioning of the bills and to make general recommendationsto the Legislature on sentencing procedures and theireffects. It would include representatives from the Board ofPrison Terms, Judicial Council, relevant legislative committees,the State Bar, the Attorney General's Office,California DA's Association, the courts, the State PublicDefender and a former inmate."I am attempting to meet objections of GovernorDeukmejian when he vetoed my Sentencing Commissionbill of 1984; this commission is strictly advisory and itsrecommendations would not take the pressure off of theLegislature for sentencing matters; it would operatethrough member agencies' staffs and budgets and no perdiemwould be provided. It would utilize existing agencies,as the Governor said should be done in overseeingsentencing programs and making proposals," Presleysaid.STATE WIDE LAW ENFORCEMENTACCESS TO SACTO FINGERPRINTCOMPUTER APPROVEDSenator John F. Foran's (Dem.-San Francisco/SanMateo) SB 190 passed the Senate Judiciary Committee.The legislation will give California's local law enforcementagencies the newest most advanced tool to combatcrime since the innovation of the two-way police radio ofthe 1920's.SB 190 appropriates $15.1 million over a 3 year periodto establish a remote access network of fingerprint identificationcomputer terminals in every County in the State.These computer terminals will be directly linked to theDepartment of Justice's computerized criminal fingerprintfile in Sacramento.For example, an officer who recovers a latent fingerprint,that is a fingerprint removed from a crime scene,will be able to transmit this latent print through the localcomputer terminal to the Department of Justice for a computerizedsearch of the State's criminal fingerprint files.The officer could conceivably have the suspect identifiedbefore the end of the shift.Trapper Lounge2064 Polk, San Francisco771-3300ASIAN MALLSUPERMARKET1333 STOCKTON ST.SAN FRANCISCO, CA.822-45552358 MARKET ST. 2398 LOMBARD ST.San Francisco, CA 94119 San Francisco, CA 94123Tel.

SAN APRIL 1985 FRANCISCO POLICEMAN Page 19POLICE PROSTITUTION SWEEPWINS APPEALS COURT RULINGA state appeals court has ruled that the San FranciscoPolice Department is justified in conducting street sweepsof suspected prostitutes, even though only a few are everprosecuted.In a unanimous decision, a three-member panel in SanFrancisco sustained the dismissal of a suit brought by theAmerican Civil Liberties Union on behalf of citytaxpayers.The ACLU had argued that police were arrestingthousands of alleged prostitutes in bad faith, knowing thecharges would probably be dismissed.The suspects are usually arrested for violating a city lawagainst obstructing sidewalks, an ordinance police say istheir "main weapon against street prostitution."The police sweep tactic also has been used in theTenderloin, Union Street and Polk Street areas inresponse to neighborhood complaints about drug dealingand other street crimes.ACLU attorneys presented evidence showing prosecutorsdismissed 94 percent of the 3,490 arrests forobstructing a sidewalk in the two-year period betweenAugust 1980 and July 1982. Only 17 suspects were convictedand just one case resulted in a jury trial, in whichthe suspect was acquitted.The ACLU claimed arrests were made without probablycause and.that police are aware of low prosecutionrates. Suspected prostitues are often detained up to 90minutes and released without being charged, the attorneyscharged.San Francisco Superior Court Judge Lawrence Manahad previously upheld the police-sweep practice, althoughhe acknowledged the arrest rate was high and prosecutionrate was low.In an 11-page decision the appeals panel ruled thesweeps are justified even thciugh most cases aredismissed.Justice Harry Low wrote in the decision that police onlyneed probably cause to arrest and have no control over aprosecutor's decision to dismiss a case.The justices also said the ACLU failed to show any intentby poliôe to harass suspects as a way of denying themtheir civil rights."Proof of bad faith requires a showing of an intent toharass so as to deprive them of protected rights or to causecorruption," Low wrote. The ACLU "failed todemonstrate either actual malice, corruption or intent bySan Francisco police to harass defendants or interfere withtheir exercise of rights.The justices also said it would be "unreasonable" torequirethe Police Department to justify the thousands of arrestsby showing probably cause.The ACLU could appeal the decision to the stateSupreme Court.(Reprinted from San Francisco TodayMarch 16, 1985)Class of '858ets New Standards affirmativeaction hiringin Affirmative Action Hiringwas no accident: Sheriff Hennessey and his recruitmentteam made numerous personal appearances over a twomonthperiod in 1984, on TV and radio; at colleges, com-On Monday, March 18, San Francisco Sheriff Michael munity centers, and churches; and before womens andHennessey will introduce the first 15 men and women minority organizations throughout San Francisco.selected from over 3,500 deputy sheriff applicants - Applicants were required to be 20 years of age, possessculminating the most exhaustive and successful Civil Ser- a high school diploma or G.E.D. equivalency and be avice recruitment in San Francisco's history.

Page 20 SAN FRANCISCO POLICEMAN APRIL 1985Dolores Park rape and assault suspect chargedBy Larry MaatzExaminer staff writerA 24-year-old San Francisco man, who is married andhas two children, has been charged with five sexualassaults - all of them linked to a series of knife-point attackscommitted in a 2 1/2-week period in the MissionDistrict.Miguel Dipini, who lives with his family near theDolores Park area where most of the sexual assaults occurred,was charged in Municipal Court today with 15felony counts in connection with the five sexual assaults.He was being held in City Prison.Seven sexual assaults have been blamed on the so-called"Dolores Park Rapist." Police say Dipini is a "primesuspect" in the two remaining cases.Dipini was identified by a number of the victims in apolice line-up late yesterday, according to Lt. MikeDower, of the sex crimes detail.Dower said Dipim also was linked to the assaults byphysical evidence obtained at the crime scenes andevidence gathered yesterday when police obtained a warrantto search Dipini's home.The first assault was reported March 16, and the finalattack occurred Tuesday night when a women's screamsbrought police, who arrested Dipini after a chase."We've interviewed his wife, and she's been able to offerno reasons or explanations," said Inspector DaveToschi, of the sex-crimes detail. "She's as puzzled as weare at this point."Toschi said not all of the attacks ended in rape as someCURLYOSCOFFEE SHOPNORTH BEACH500 Columbus Ave.San Francisco, CA392-0144A-i Cafe779 Clay StreetSan Francisco, CA 94108421-1666of the women resisted to the point where they attractedthe attention of passers-by.The method of each assault was nearly identical, Toschisaid, noting that the man would approach the women frombehind and typically say: "I've got the blade and I'll cutyou if you don't do what I want."All of the attacks occurred in the afternoon or evening.Most of the victims reported that the suspect hadalcohol on his breath. Toschi said the suspect had apparentlybeen drinking; but was "definitely notdrunk.. .It's clear that he was in control of what he wasdoing."Toschi described the attacker as "very determined. Heknew exactly what he was about."Specifically, Dipini, who is a quality-control worker ata local federal installation, which police have not identified,is charged with:• March 16 attempted rape of a 25-year-old woman at18th and Danvers Street.• March 23 attempted rape of a 25-year-old woman atGuerrero and Duboce streets.• Also on March 23, the rape and forced oral copulationof a 20-year-old woman at 14th and Market streets.'. March 26 attempted rape of a 15-year-old girl atGuerrero and 15th streets.• April 3 attempted rape and attempted murder of a34-year-old woman on Douglass Street.The last attack was the one that led to Dipini's arrest byplainclothes police, who had "saturated" the area on adaily basis in hopes of trapping the rapist.The victim of that attack was stabbed twice in the neck.Lt. Dower said she was in stable condition at San FranciscoGeneral Hospital, suffering from some paralysis inher right arm as a result of the wounds.The various felony counts lodged against Dipini includerape,. assault with intent to commit rape, assault with adeadly weapon, attempted murder, false imprisonmentand oral copulation.Dower said Dipini had not been charged with the twoother attacks, although he was under investigation in bothcases. They include the March 27 rape of a 25-year-oldwoman in Dorland Alley, across from Mission HighSchool, and the March 28 rape of a 25-year-old woman inDolores Park.Dipini is a native of Puerto Rico. He moved to SanFrancisco from New York about a year ago. His wife toldpolice that he had served three years in the U.S. Army, includinga year in Arkansas and a two-year tour in Europe.After his discharge, he went to New York where he workedfor more than a year as a janitor.Dipini has no criminal record in San Francisco, policesaid. Investigators are checking with authorities in NewYork and Puerto Rico.Police would not be specific about Dipini's currentplace of employment as they intend to obtain a warrantand search his workplace. -Examiner staff writer Marsha Ginsburg contributed to thisreport.(Reprintedfrom theSan Francisco Examiner)Christ Controls MyLifeby Dan HamptonThe power to resist evil in my life does not come fromDan Hampton, but comes from Christ. When I acceptedJesus' invitation several years ago his promise to take upresidence in me empowered me to resist the temptationsand sins that my flesh (body) wants me to habitually perform.The Bible says, "Those who obey his commands livein him, and he in them. And this is how we know that helives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us' ' (1 John3:24).Now the Spirit of Christ in you and me tells us to revealthe essence, image, and likeness of Jesus to everyone wecome in contact with. This is done by the way we treat people,whether they are Christians or not. We must not justpreach but practice sharing Jesus' "love, joy, peace, patience,kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and selfcontrol,"towards others. Now our flesh (body) or sinfulnature wants us to habitually practice the following: "sexualimmorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft;hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition,dissensions, factions and envy, drunkenness, orgies,and the like" (Galatians 5:19-23).Let me ask you a question, when you asked Christ intoyour heart to be Lord did you all of a sudden become perfectand stop sinning? No, in fact as you read the Bible (andfor some of you the first time in your lives) you becameaware how so much sin had become entrenched in yourlives. This was a good sign of development because as yourecognized sin in your life (and as you were habituallyreading the scriptures every day) a humbling realizationcame to your mind. "Christians are not perfect they arejust forgiven."Now if Christians still sin what is the difference betweenthem and those who have accepted Jesus' invitation? The- difference is this, those who don't have Jesus withinhabitually practice the sins of the flesh and enjoy doing so.Their consciences are seared and the sins they habituallypractice they don't consider as sin. But the Christians whohave the very essence of Jesus inside their bodies and hiscommands implanted in their minds, as they read the scriptures,become convicted when they partake in sin. This convictionleads a Christian to confess that he is a sinner. TheBible says, "If we claim to be without sin, we deceiveourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins,he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purifyus from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned,we make him out to be a liar and his word has no placein our lives" (1 John 1:8-10).Confessing your sins to Jesus will lead you to Godly sorrow.And what of Godly sorrow? The Bible says, "Godlysorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leavesno regret" (2 Cor. 7:10). Now the word repent means tostop living after the flesh by habitually practicing sin, andreverse yourself 180 degrees and live according to Jesus'way. Jesus' way of living is found in his word and commands,the scriptures. To reverse yourself 180 degrees youmust have the Spirit of Christ in you. The Bible says, "Forif you live according to (the dictates of) the flesh you willsurely die. But if through the power of the (Holy) Spirityou are habitually putting to death (making extinct, deadening)the (evil) deeds prompted by the body, you shall (reallyand genuinely) live forever" (Romans 8:13 Amplified).Next time I'll explain how the power of the Holy Spirithas radically changed my life.Green St Mortuary-,fMEARWICK PAT649 Green St. - San Francisco, CA.433-5692James E.

Page 24 SAN FRANCISCO POLICEMAN APRIL 1985THELAST \kWORDON THE STREET/Tom Flippinb y Pete Malone,EditorII think I would be more upset about the current state ofour public relations if the charges and the accusers hadmore credibility. The inaccuracy of the charges is at leastas bad as the knowledge on the part of the members of thepress who work the 'Police Beat' and don't say so in theirmedia. Truly one of the greatest injustices of modern lifeis 'Front Page Charges' and 'Last Page "Corrections".Guy Wright has in his own sanguine style answered thecall as he so frequently does when calmness is called for.The current level of rhetoric and public politicizing hasnot done much to stop exaggeration. The current issue of'Newsweek' contains an article that even the reporters areprivately calling pure fabrication.It is hard to see sometimes what we can do to.improve inthe public eye. The department is made up of the samekind of people we protect and even the press agrees thatthe general public commits errors and transgressions of alltypes with even greater gusto than we do. Life in a fishbowl full of reporters just seems to magnify the problems.I'm a day watch beat man now and the guys on the nightwatches call me 'Old Man', and I guess I've seen anumber of changes over the years. Most have been theresult of normal departmental procedure and its ownbrand of labor relations. The POA has historically beenthe strong advocate of working cops though perhaps neverso effective as now. In spite of all that, misinformedpublic opinion has been responsible a number of times forcourse changes. And if for some unknown reason youthink the current furor will pass without causing any ripplesin the pond you're not being realistic. The questionis: 'Will they will be of any value or not.'Last month I wrote about the San Francisco DeputySheriffs' Association election to join COPS, and canreport this month that the DSA executive board endorsedthe move and led the way to a two to one win. They jointhe SPOA and the San Francisco District Attorneys' Investigatorsin the common responsibility of leadership.Additionally, the Police Commission unanimously approvedthe restarting of the Juvenile Diversion Programand had the Chief appoint Captains Casey, Kotta andMacia to study and report on the specific required for implementâtion.The Police Commissioners individuallymade strong personal statements about the value ofjuvenile diversion and was witness to community supportand commitment to participate. It would be accurate to saythat the project would not have progressed this far withoutCommissioner Al Nelder who originally proposed it forconsideration.Ihiic Center f4artnarg626-80801198 Market St. San Francisco CAMEMBERS OF THE FORCE ARE ENTITLED TO ACOURTESY DISCOUNT....
