budget, $3.5 million total for tasers, the implementation. 2.5 the first year and 1 million the second year, year two. i passed out a b.l.a. analysis of the true cost of tasers, and i want to emphasize that this, what i passed out, in this shaded part, is actually the training that this is -- b.l.a. did an analysis based on the police commission taser policy, and these are the real and true costs. if we were to implement it in the way that the police commission has voted onto approve the taser use policy. now, the -- the ones that are shadowed with this beige shadowing is actually the -- the training costs that the taser training can be incorporated into these costs that they're already doing. the crisis intervention team, the crisis innovation team, the crisis cost, and the use of policy force updating training. so they're in the process of this now, and again, the training can be absorbed for the tasers into this. i think that because there's been this lack of transparency about the real costs and true costs, and also that a training -- i think we would need to see a training

first. so the way the policy is currently setup, the officers that would get specifically the tasers would be everybody who has the 40 hour c.i.t. training. that number's roughly around 900 right now. we would significantly push towards patrol and in the district stations, not necessarily one station at a time, similar to what we did -- that is what we did with body camera, so this will be more of a gradual push out in all the districts. so those officers who have both the 40 hour c.i.t. training and the 20 hour c.i.t./use of force training, so that number is roughly right now around 900, and we are not -- by the commission's authorization, not allowed to start this until december of 2018, which gives us that lead up to have the logistics and the total training ready to go for december-january to move those groups out, and it would be gradual based on class size. and then, we would also have to determine how long is our particular use of a taser device class going to be 'cause that's additional training. they generally go-between -- nas wide as an example between six and ten hours to

tasers. and i'm going to -- [inaudible] >> supervisor cohen: supervisor fewer? >> supervisor fewer: yes. i also just wanted to say if we could add to the civilianization, is that we also look at the -- ask the police department to look at the other -- which is the rotation shift. >> supervisor cohen: say that again? >> supervisor fewer: the shift rotation scheduling. yes. i'd like to have the conversation. after we're done with the staffing conversation, then, i'd like to have a conversation about tasing. >> supervisor cohen: well, we are done with the staffing conversations now, and we can move on. >> madam chair, just a clarification. would you planning to place the funds on the calendar for the second academy pending the review of your discussion of the specific station? >> supervisor cohen: yes. >> okay. >> supervisor cohen: all right. miss fewer? >> supervisor fewer: yes. so i see that in the budget, $3.5 million total for tasers, the implementation. 2.5 the first year and 1 million the second year, year two. i passed out a b.l.a. analysis of the true cost of tasers, and i want to

tasers. that's one of the required trainings to obtain a taser? but in my conversation with the department, they told me that that would likely not occur over the next couple years. >> supervisor fewer: if we can't have a taser -- >> yeah. so that does not include the top three trainings on that sheet. >> supervisor fewer: that they would get any way. >> that they would get any way. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. >> supervisor cohen: colleagues, are there any other questions about tasers or the discussion of them? i don't have anything else. i don't have any other questions. i've asked mine. thank you. so there's a couple things here that we can do. we can take action today, and if you'd like -- well, we can take action today, but there has to be a motion -- or we can add it to the open motion that i already have -- i've put on dealing with the academy classes. >> supervisor fewer: yeah. actually, i think that because of the lack of transparency for full and the true cost, and how that i think a timeline for when the training can be completed, and how many we can actu

francisco's plan to equip police with taser stun guns is on hold. supervisors voted to take funding for the devices out of the city budget for the time being. we are at city hall tonight. >> reporter: the debate about whether to arm san francisco police officers with tasers seem to be over. the police commissioner recently said they could have the weapons but a committee here said not so fast. the police commission said police should start getting tasers as long as they can implement the policy that would include extensive training and a host of other expensive editions. like staffing and testing of equipment. the police department said it would cost about $3 million, 2 million this year and another million -- next year. but today, they revealed it would be way more expensive than that. like 7 million. according to an independent analysis. so they decided to remove the $2 million for taser implementation, after this year's budget. >> they hope to deploy every police officer with a taser. but yet, only 900 of them have been trained so far. it will take a while to ramp up. that is why
