State Capitol, Room 5100 To: All Members Sacramento, CA 95814-4900 From: President Tony Montoya Re: Use of Force by Peace Officers –AB 931 Currently there is legislation pending in Sacramento that, if passed in its current form, will have a drastic and an irrevocable negative impact on law enforcement in Dear Senator Weiner: our State. Assembly Bill 931 would change the standards surrounding how peace Incidents in our state during the first half of 2018 involving the use of force by officers use force in the line of duty and could place all officers in a position of law enforcement officers have fueled strong emotions in our communities. As either enforcing the law and face the consequences from those who may judge our peace officers we are and always have been held accountable for our actions. actions with 20/20 hindsight or avoid doing proactive policing in order to survive Nevertheless we understand the frustration by some in our community since in our profession. most of these investigations do not yield immediate findings.

AB 931 would dismantle This bill, in its current form, might very well have negative consequences on that. The SFPOA has sent a letter to Senator Scott Weiner asking him to oppose public safety that have not been foreseen. this measure. The POA is asking you to join us and voice your opposition. In 1989 the United States Supreme Court unanimously ruled on Graham v. Con- Follow the link or scan the QR code to send a letter nor which established the standard for which law enforcement officers use force and you too shall be heard in Sacramento. and how excessive force is defined. The “objectively reasonable” standard has Thank you. been challenged in the Courts and has withheld the test of time. AB 931 would drastically change that standard where officers who have to make a split second https://sfpoa.org/ScottWeiner_UseofForce judgement in extremely tense and rapidly changing conditions would now be susceptible to the “Monday morning quarterback” analysis under the “neces- sary” standard. In the Graham ruling the Court held, “The ‘reasonableness’ of a particular use of force must be judged from the perspective of a reasonable officer on the scene, rather than with the 20/20 vision of hindsight.” For any officer who has been in such a situation, this makes perfect sense. We are in a profession where training for any scenario is essential but we are also at times fallible due to our human condition. This condition does not offer us complete immunity from all uses of force. It simply ensures the reasonable use of force under the known circumstances will be evaluated under an “objectively reasonable” standard. If officers fall outside of this standard then there must be accountability for such actions and justice. The SFPOA along with all law enforcement associations and the vast majority of law enforcement agencies, in the State of California, hopes our Legislators recognize the importance of preserving the standard set by the United States 4 Personal Injury Supreme Court. The standards set in AB 931 radically alters the definition of jus- tifiable homicide involving public officers, eliminates potential defenses, shifts the burden of proof against the officer, and, most importantly, it adds a new 4 Workers’ Comp layer of analysis that directly undermines Graham’s analysis by introducing the notion of reasonable alternatives. 4 Disability Retirement The POA has been a longtime supporter of you going back to when you first served on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.

The Department of Emergency Management has selected you as Com- munications Dispatcher of the Month for July 2018. On March 6, 2018 during Swing Watch you were assigned to PD A4. While assisting PD A8 with a Critical Incident, 3D13E called a Code 33 over your channel. You immediately deter- mined a location and details on a subject running with a gun. The unit further advised that same subject jumped into Monies raised from the Officer Isaac Espinoza Ironman Competition were the trunk of a Black Honda Civic that presented to Bella Espinoza to assist with her college education.

There was another right: POA Past President Martin Halloran, Renata Espinoza, Bella Espinoza, Sgt- subject aboard the vehicle. 3D13E then At-Arms Tracy McCray. advised of a safe avenue of approach, southbound Capp from 19th Street. You and your colleagues were able to capture all of the information placing the unit on a run and you proceeded to calmly relay all transmissions, obtain units as backup all while keeping control on the situation. The vehicle was located and units effected a felony traffic stop, proceeded to take one suspect into custody further advising there was still a subject in the trunk. Mission units were coming up on the channel asking to be added to the run while another unit was asking for a Spanish Translator. Seconds later a transmission was heard over the air “Shots fired!” immediately fol- lowed by “406!” This is a moment that every dispatcher fears but is trained to react upon. You did not hesitate and immediately broadcast the 406 location on an All Broadcast. Moments later 3D113 advised to cancel the 406 and there were sufficient units on scene. An ambulance was requested to stage. You maintained control of the radio traffic, along with documenting every transmission and request asked. Your colleagues commend you on your distinct ability to handle this criti- cal incident with such professionalism. Throughout the incident your voice did not waver, your abilities did not cease. No dispatcher wants to maneuver through an incident of this nature, but you made it appear effortless. Congratulations, Rosemary!!
