Police Commission adopts DGO 6.14, approves DGO 11.02 for bargaining; votes to meet in closed session
Summary
On April 16 the San Francisco Police Commission voted to adopt a revised Department General Order (DGO) 6.14 with a 30-day implementation window; it also approved DGO 11.02 for labor bargaining and voted to hold a closed-session item, later choosing not to disclose the closed-session discussion.
SAN FRANCISCO — The Police Commission on April 16 adopted a revised Department General Order and took several procedural votes, including a decision to hold a closed session and not disclose privileged discussion.
At the meeting, commissioners voted unanimously (7–0) to adopt the revised Department General Order 6.14, “Psychological Evaluation of Adults,” with a 30-day implementation period. Later the commission approved Department General Order 11.02 (Secondary Employment) for the department to use during required meet-and-confer bargaining with affected labor units; that approval was also unanimous (7–0) and made subject to the commission’s labor relations resolution.
The commission then voted to hold item 11 in closed session under the San Francisco Administrative Code and, after completing closed session, voted not to disclose the closed session discussion except for non-privileged factual updates that will be recorded in the commission minutes. The vote on non-disclosure was unanimous (7–0).
