Commission approves consent calendar, keeps closed-session matters private; public urged action on unsolved homicide and nuisance drug houses
Summary
The Police Commission approved the consent calendar, voted to hold item 6 in closed session and to withhold disclosure; public speakers urged action on an unsolved homicide and local drug‑house problems and commissioners scheduled future CIT and Northern District meetings.
The San Francisco Police Commission on May 14 approved its consent calendar, heard public pleas about unsolved homicides and neighborhood safety, and voted to keep litigation‑related closed‑session discussions private.
The commission clerk presented the consent calendar, which included routine SFPD and OCC quarterly reports and disciplinary items. A commissioner moved to approve the consent calendar; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
During public comment, Paulette Brown described her son's unsolved homicide and displayed photos and a case number, asking the commission and community for help and justice. The chief directed members of the public with information to the department's anonymous tip line at (415) 575‑4444. Another commenter, Bridal (Bridal) Lark of North Beach Place, said nearby properties operate as persistent drug houses that she said pose a danger to neighbors and children and requested enforcement attention.
The commission then voted to consider item 6 (litigation‑related matters) in closed session. After returning to open session, the commission moved not to disclose the matters discussed in closed session; the motion carried by voice vote. The meeting concluded after a motion to adjourn passed by voice vote.
Commissioners used the meeting to schedule upcoming items: the commission will not meet the third Wednesday of the month, will hold a Northern District meeting on May 28 at Sacred Heart Cathedral High School Theater (1100 Ellis) and scheduled a Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) update for June 11, with a request to invite Vinnie Ng and the CIT working group.
No formal policy changes were adopted during the meeting; several items (staffing, OCC budget matters and e‑citation automation) were left for follow‑up.
