“…with respect to a body camera that’s not working, did you really intend for that to be a true exception, that somebody can go out on patrol, can go out on a route and not have a camera as a result because it didn’t work?”
“And one of the callers mentioned that there was over 900 dog bites in the city. Is that right? Aggressive dogs are— so I don’t know if that’s the fact, or is that just— I was just wondering if the police have any data on that, or did they have that many dog bites out there.”

How we identify who is speaking · blind check, pooled across five cities: of 340 commission lines drawn, 260 right, 4 wrong, 1 unclear, 75 couldn’t be judged
A meeting missing here means we couldn’t attribute the voice, not that Low was absent. Claude and Gemini each read every transcript with that day’s roster. A voice gets Larry Low’s name only when both agree and a code check finds the name said on, or just before, their turn. Voices our transcripts merge with someone else’s are never attributed, so every count here undercounts what Low said. For commissions, of 340 lines drawn, 260 were right, 4 wrong and 1 unclear, and the checkers couldn’t judge 75. We have since removed the voices behind 64 of those lines (3 wrong, 0 unclear, the rest we had already held for other reasons). Of the 276 lines we still publish, the checkers could judge 228: 226 right, 1 wrong and 1 unclear (90% lower bound 0.97). They couldn’t judge the other 48. The check is one sample pooled across the five cities, not of Low or of San Francisco alone.
