TACTICAL

History

In his inaugural address in August 1849, John Geary, the first elected alcalde (mayor/judge) in Gold Rush San Francisco, reminded the newly elected council that the town was “without a single policeman . . . [or] the means of confining a prisoner for an hour.” Things began to change when on August 13 of the same year, the council selected Malachi Fallon as San Francisco’s first Captain (Chief) of Police. Fallon in turn appointed a deputy captain, three sergeants and 30 officers to comprise the city’s first municipal police department.

The Department’s first officers had no training, no equipment, not even uniforms. For its headquarters, it had a schoolhouse on Portsmouth Square. But, like the city itself, the fledgling police department began to evolve. With the adoption of the city’s first charter, in 1850, the city council divided the city into three districts and boosted the city’s force to 75 officers. In 1859, Chief Martin Burke issued the order that all officers should equip themselves with a “large revolver,” and a year later the first officer uniform was introduced (it was gray so as not to show the dust from the city’s unpaved streets). By 1869, the city’s force had increased to 100 officers, who had their hands full dealing with a number of civic problems brought on by an economic slump. One result of that slump was a new class of hoodlums whose pastimes were fighting the police and attacking the Chinese laborers who had just finished their work on the transcontinental railroad. Clearly, the city needed more officers and, by the late 1870s, the department grew to 400 members to deal with increasing criminal problems. The department got off to a ceremonial start in the twentieth century with the completion of the Hall of Justice on Kearny Street. Six years later, however, on April 18, 1906, the structure became, courtesy of the San Francisco earthquake and fire, one of the “damndest finest ruins,” as a contemporary described the devastated city. The building boom that followed the quake included the expansion of police facilities. Richmond, Park and Ingleside stations were all built in 1910, and Potrero, Northern and Harbor stations in 1913, all designed by noted architects. The new Hall of Justice, on the same site, but this time thoughtfully constructed with a steel frame and concrete floors and roof, opened in 1912 (the latest Hall of Justice, the current building on Bryant Street, was dedicated in 1961). This was a time of innovation as well as building. The Department was one of the first in the country to use fingerprinting to identify criminals. In 1909, the Department instituted what would become the Solo Motorcycle Unit when Chief Jesse Cook (appointed 1908) detailed three officers to motorcycle duty to stop speeders (known as “scorchers”). Chief David White (appointed 1911) was the first to devise a modern

record-keeping system. San Francisco was also one of the first police departments to hire women when, in 1913, three Women protective Officers joined the SFPD. The subsequent decades have run the gamut of criminal and social problems continuously testing the mettle of the police department. There was Prohibition and labor unrest in the ‘20s and ‘30s. The end of World War II on August 14, 1945 constituted a crash course in crowd control tactics when Chief Charles Dullea (appointed 1940) had to use all of his resources to quell the actions of what he unequivocally called “the unbridled and unrestrained acts of a lot of undisciplined men in uniform.” Organized crime presented another problem in the ‘50s, but Police Chief Francis Ahern (appointed 1956) and homicide inspector Thomas J. Cahill (who, on Chief Ahern’s sudden death, would become Chief in 1958) met the challenge so well that Senator Estes Kefauver’s committee on organized crime relied heavily on their expertise. The turbulent ‘60s and ‘70s brought social unrest that would test the Department to the utmost: the hippie movement, marches for social justice, race riots, and university demonstrations over Vietnam. Chief Cahill, during his long administration (1958 to 1970), was singularly able to deal with a changing society from a policing standpoint. His was a direct, no-nonsense approach combined with an understanding of where people were coming from and a compassion for their frustrations and predicaments. In a terrible shift of events, the end of the ‘60s and ‘70s was a violent time for officers. In one year alone, 1970, four officers were killed in separate incidents, the victims of hatred and resentment taken to the level of assassination. If crime had once manifested itself as tong wars, bootlegging, and organized crime, the ‘70s saw a new type of crime involving the serial killer. The killer who became known as the Zodiac claimed a number of victims (but only one in San Francisco); he has never been identified and the case is still officially open. The ‘70s also saw the rise of radical – and deadly – activity, represented notably by the Simbionese Liberation Army (SLA), the decade closing with the murder of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk on November 22, 1978. The manslaughter verdict and the relatively light sentence resulted in the siege of City Hall during the “White Night” riots. As police cars burned in the street, their sirens wailing from the shorting of melted wires, officers ringed City Hall to protect it. A significant facet of the Department’s later administrations, beginning in the ‘80s and continuing through the 90s, involved talking with persons with grievances and inviting them to work on solutions. Working with the community, establishing a partnership to help lower the crime rate and providing a better quality of life, have become hallmarks of our police department which, a hundred and fifty-three years after its inception is 2,300 officers strong and serving a city with a week-day population that exceeds one million persons. Through Chief Fred Lau (the city’s first Asian-American Chief, 1996-2002) and Prentice Earl Sanders (the first African-American Chief, appointed 2002), community policing, the ongoing working relationship between officers and the communities they serve, continued to constitute the Department’s central philosophy.

That policy continued throughout the tenure of Alex Fagan (appointed August 27, 2003), and remained the centerpiece of Chief of Police, Heather Fong, who was appointed on April 14, 2004, becoming the Department’s first female Chief of Police. The San Francisco Police Department has entered into not only a new era, but also a new millennium. The police role is still to combat crime and ensure public safety, but policing has become an even greater challenge. Crimes of violence, especially involving gang and drug violence, continue to plague the city’s communities and continue to test our responsive methods. Certain areas of police work are becoming increasingly demanding. Perpetrators of fraud, for example, have become increasingly sophisticated in their methods, constantly trying the expertise of our fraud inspectors. Sexual crimes involving juveniles contacted through Internet chat rooms pose another challenge to inspectors. And, of course, in this post-September 11 world, security issues are a constant, requiring continuous ongoing training among the Department’s officers. These are some of the new challenges facing the San Francisco Police Department. By constantly analyzing what the Department needs to do to meet these challenges – whether through organizing new police units, acquiring new technology or instituting new training – the San Francisco Police Department continues to fulfill its role to protect and serve.

Chief Of Police

I am pleased to announce that in 2006 the San Francisco Police Department continued to move forward through the implementation and augmentation of innovative crime-fighting and public safety programs. To remove the most violent criminals from the community, our Field Operations Bureau implemented a targeted enforcement strategy that focuses on illegal drug trafficking, gang activity, and illegal gun possession.

Chief of Police

Heather J. Fong

In the Investigations Bureau, the Narcotics Division continues its fight against drug-related crime that so often leads to violence. In 2006, Narcotics conducted eight long-term drug trafficking operations and eleven buy-bust operations, each one conducted for a month-long period.

Since its full accreditation in 2005, the Crime Laboratory continues its vital forensic work, especially in connection with DNA-related cold cases. The Administration Bureau continued to help the department reach mandated staffing levels through accelerating recruiting efforts and stepping up Academy recruit classes. In 2006, there were four graduating classes in 2006. The Airport Bureau continues its extensive daily operations, which include the confiscation of illegal weapons and narcotics, providing hundreds of dignitary protection operations, and responding to hundreds of searches conducted by the Bureau’s Explosive Detection Team The Department continues to be pro-active in all areas of law enforcement, and continues to implement crime-fighting strategies and deploying officers based on continuous crime trend analysis to ensure that San Francisco is safe for residents, workers, and visitors alike. The following units report directly to the Chief of Police:

Police Commission Secretary The Secretary (Police Lieutenant) acts as the liaison between the Chief, Command Staff, Office of Citizen Complaints and the Commissioners regarding any business as necessary. The Secretary will perform all administrative tasks needed for the Commission, including scheduling and coordinating all meetings and hearings, coordinating disciplinary matters for the Commission, assisting in the awards process, and receiving and preparing necessary documents.

Chief Of Police

Public Affairs The Public Affairs unit receives and responds to inquiries from the media relating to the Department and acts as a liaison between the media and the Department. The unit issues press releases, screens media requests for interviews with the Chief, announces press conferences for the Chief, and facilitates police-related events and various award presentations by civic groups. In the event of a critical incident, a member from the unit can respond to the scene to assist the incident commander with media relations. Additionally, Public Affairs issues press passes and media parking permits.

Field Operations Bureau

The suppression of crime through community policing continues to be our primary mission. The daily contact that our officers enjoy with everyone who chooses to frequent this beautiful city serves as evidence that community policing does provide a sense of security and reduces crime. It an honor to be able to work with the uniformed and non-uniformed members of the Field Operations Bureau who work so hard in furthering the goals of this Department. The Field Operations Bureau is the largest bureau of the Department, consisting of approximately 1,200 members. Officers have worked tirelessly this year to keep the City safe and to reduce violent crime. Although combating violent crime has been our primary mission in 2006, addressing issues such as quality of life in our City’s neighborhoods have been a policing priority as well. Our success in keeping the City safe came at tremendous price in 2006, with the loss of three officers in the line of duty. Officer Nick-Tomasito Birco was killed in the line of duty while attempting to apprehend violent robbery suspects, Sergeant Darryl Tsujimoto died while involved in a training exercise and Officer Bryan Tuvera was brutally shot and killed while attempting to apprehend a wanted fugitive. These dedicated officers will be truly missed in the Department. Thanks to the dedicated and professional members assigned to the Field Operations Bureau, 2006 was a year full of successes and accomplishments in the Field Operations Bureau, serving the citizens of this great City.


Commander Stephen Tacchini

Deputy Chief David Shinn

The Field Operations Bureau (F.O.B.) manages the Patrol Division of the Police Department. The Patrol Division is divided into two groups: the Metro Division and the Golden Gate Division, both supported by F.O.B. Headquarters staff. The Metro and Golden Gate Divisions are comprised of ten district stations along with the Traffic Company, Tactical Company, Homeland Security and the Youth Services Unit. FOB HeadquartersThe Headquarters staff is comprised of two night supervising Captains, two Lieutenants, three Sergeants, two officers and three non-sworn employees. The functions of the staff cover a wide variety of tasks, and reach beyond the Police Department borders. The night supervising Captains are responsible for supervising the patrol functions of the entire City during the evening and early morning hours. One Lieutenant serves as the Director of

Field Operations Bureau Community Policing and the other coordinates the Department’s response to the homeless problem with the Operation Outreach program. The Sergeants assists the district station event coordinators with large scale City events like the Halloween, 4th of July and New Year’s Eve, which are all administered through FOB. A Sergeant is assigned to oversee the Reserve Officer Program. One Sergeant serves as the Mutual Aid Coordinator, coordinating with local and state law enforcement agencies including the State and San Francisco Offices of Emergency Services and the Alameda County Sheriff’s Mutual Aid Coordinator. FOB staff is tasked with preparing operations orders, staffing/deployment, planning major events (demonstrations, parades, marches) and maintaining overtime summaries and Bureau reports and cost of service reports for all events in the City requiring police services.

The Field Operations Bureau moved forward on a variety of topics during 2006.

Golden Guardian Exercise The Field Operations Bureau participated in the 2006 Golden Guardian exercise. This exercise simulated a major earthquake in San Francisco and put to the test the Department’s response in handling such a situation. Planning for 2007 All-Star Game The All-Star Game will be held in San Francisco this year. The Field Operations Bureau is currently coordinating with members of the Event Planning Team to prepare for the Police Department’s role in facilitating the All-Star Game. Many fans will be traveling from all over the country to attend this annual sporting event. The main goal of the Event Planning Team is to ensure that the players and attendees enjoy a safe and sane event. Foot Beat Deployment and Policy Development Foot patrol is an important part of community policing. A new policy has been developed and implemented to ensure the success of the Foot Beat deployment. The deployment of foot beat officers at the district stations will help strengthen the community’s trust and enhance the relationship with the Police Department. Revision of Field Operations Bureau General Orders During the year, staff assigned to the Field Operations Bureau conducted a thorough review of the Field Operations Bureau General issued over the last 12 years. The purpose of the review was to determine which policies still apply to daily operations. There were four Field Operations Bureau General Orders either created or revised this year. The four policies were Event Planning, Operations with the SFFD, Dedicated Foot Patrol and the Preliminary Environmental Assessment Form. Police Service Aide Transition Plan In an effort to free officers assigned to station duty to work in the field, the Field Operations Bureau has recruit Police Service Aides from the Airport Bureau. The Police Service Aides perform station duty functions such as counter reports, answering phones and other duties as assigned.

Field Operations Bureau 1906 Earthquake Celebration The City celebrated the 100-year anniversary of the great quake of 1906. Over 25,000 people were on hand at the Lotta’s Fountain to celebrate the historic event. Transition from SMEAC to NIMS During the 2006 calendar year, Field Operations Bureau-Headquarters has transitioned from the SMEAC format to National Incident Management System (NIMS) format. This format is used when preparing OP-ORDERS (Operation-Orders) for events and critical incidents. The NIMS format is currently being used by government and law enforcement agencies across the country. Housing Enforcement Grant/enforcement programs in Co. A; C; D; E; F; G; H In response to recent violence in housing developments throughout the city, District Stations develop mission specific plans that deal with each individual problem that is plaguing the housing development in their district. These additional enforcement plans are being funded by a by monies. Event Planning Team implementation In order to better plan regularly scheduled events, the Field Operations Bureau - Headquarters has formed the Event Planning Team. The focus of this team is to review scheduled events, and effectively plan future events based upon prior Implementation and continuous review of CompStat During the 2006 calendar year the Field Operations Bureau-Headquarters has implemented CompStat. CompStat is a comprehensive statistic of the work being performed as well as crime enforcement monthly report of statistics that is presented by the Commanding Officers of each unit in the Field Operations Bureau. This helps to identify and track current crime trends within their district and provides a venue to present on potential crime problems. Command Van Team Deployment During the 2006 calendar year the Field Operations Bureau-Headquarters has implemented the new Command Van Team. The Command Van Team is made up of officers who have received 16-hours of training in the operation, maintenance and driving of each of the department’s command vans. The command van was deloyed to numerous plnned and unplanned events in 2006.

Field Operations Bureau Operation Outreach Program

On December 1, 2004, the Department established the Operation Outreach Program. The purpose of the program is to approach the homeless situation with more of a community policing concept. Not only are laws enforced, but officers have established relationships with the Human Services Agency, Department of Public Health, the Mayor’s Homeless Outreach Team and the Fire Department’s Homeless Outreach Team to refer individuals to services such as housing, drug and mental illness treatment and intensive case management. The mission of Operation Outreach Officers is to determine the places most frequented by the homeless, provide strict attention to those areas, contact the homeless, determine their needs and work collaboratively with various City agencies resulting in the administering of homeless services for those in need. Operation Outreach Officers perform the following duties:

• Check on a person’s well being and determine if they may need medical attention.

• Determine if the person is a danger to themselves, others or is gravely disabled

under 5150 of the Welfare and Institutions Code. (Mobile Crisis is a resource and may be reached at 355-8300).

Field Operations Bureau Community Policing

COMMUNITY POLICING / PARTNERSHIP COORDINATOR

Alot has been accomplished during 2006 in the area of community policing efforts. Under the direction of Lieutenant Charlie Orkes, the Department has moved forward and established positive relationships with many communities throughout the City. The roles and duties of police officers, sergeants, lieutenants, captains and command staff members have been defined and put into action to achieve the goals of the program. The creation of a Department manual stating the philosophy, intent, and method by which community policing efforts will take place was a large accomplishment. Training of recruit officers and veteran officers alike at the Police Academy is underway and the implementation of community policing efforts is spreading citywide. The year ahead looks promising as the past year was very productive and established a strong foundation on which to build our future efforts. Lieutenant Charlie Orkes, the Director of Community Policing acts as the liaison for the Police Department with the Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice, The Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services, The Safety Network Partnership, and the various public and private agencies, organizations, and associations participating in the Community Policing / Partnership Program. The role of the Director is that of a “clearinghouse” for all assessment forms submitted by Police Department and outreach workers. Working with the full commitment of the Mayor’s Office, The Office of the Chief of Police and the various community participants, the coordinator will engage the services of those agencies necessary to address community concerns. The Director reviews and evaluates submitted assessment forms and initiates the delivery of services by the agencies deemed necessary to provide long term resolution to the specific issue.

Lieutenant Orkes is the liaison with commanding officers and community policing lieutenants to provide updates on matters submitted or obtain additional information to facilitate the needs of cooperating agencies. In order to quantify the efforts of the Police Department's role in community policing, the Director will produce a monthly report indicating by Police Department unit, the number of assessments received, those in progress, and the number closed. One of the goals for the upcoming year is for the the Director of Community Policing to l send “Community Satisfaction Surveys” to those individuals, groups and organizations who have requested assistance through the Community Policing / Partnership Program.

Broadway Corridor Problem Solving Strategy The Entertainment Area of the Central District known as the Broadway Corridor has been rife with public drunkenness, unlawful behavior and associated crimes for an extended period of time. Problems include club overcrowding, noise complaints, permit non-compliance, and vehicle and pedestrian traffic congestion. Minors and underage juveniles congregate in the area to loiter, consume alcohol and participate in criminal activity.

Central District The problem area is primarily located on Broadway between Sansome to Powell Street and Grant Avenue from Columbus to Union Street as well as ancillary streets along those main thoroughfares. Predominant businesses in this area include adult entertainment venues, clubs, bars, restaurants and liquor stores. The highest activity times are Friday and Saturday nights from 10 PM until 4 AM. Many Agencies including the SFPD, Sheriff’s Department, Fire Department, DPW, Department of Electricity, Planning Department, City Attorney, District Attorney, Entertainment Commission, Board of Supervisors, Juvenile Probation and the Alcohol Beverage Control, (ABC) have jurisdiction and responsibility along the Broadway Corridor. In order to address issues in this area, all agencies must coordinate their involvement and responses. The purpose of the combined agency approach is to stop illegal activity and to maintain order in this area. Short term enforcement efforts will be reinforced with long term multi-agency strategies to minimize this type of activity along the Broadway Corridor. This effort requires a commitment of personnel and other resources to address and solve current problems as well as a sustained effort to keep the Corridor from becoming problematic in the future. The strategy includes establishing a network of information sharing among all partners, including information on problem venues, pending permits, permit violations and occupancy and safety issues. The Police Department will continue to allocate resources to deal with law enforcement issues along the corridor. Central Station will continue to dedicate staffing of one squad on foot to patrol the affected area on Friday and Saturday nights. The Permit Officer will coordinate weekend Task Force Inspection Team meetings with representatives from the SFFD Fire Marshal, Entertainment Commission Sound Engineer, SFPD Vice, ABC and Department of Building Inspections as needed. Additional resources from the Police Traffic Company will address Traffic Enforcement Issues. Operations will include the DUI Checkpoint, the STOP Program and other enforcement saturation programs in the area. Vice Crimes will dedicate personnel to conduct decoy operations and will participate in compliance checks at clubs and liquor stores. Intra Agency assistance is requested from the following departments: Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services- Chair and set steering committee meetings to reach goals and collate data. Address and coordinate funding needs. Act as contact and liaison between agencies. Hold assessment meetings to discuss and adjust operation strategy.

Central District Entertainment Commission- Continue to participate as a member of the Broadway Corridor Task Force with site visits by the Sound Engineer on a weekly basis. Maintain an updated list of licensed and permitted clubs in the affected area and check for compliance on a monthly basis. Establish a communication strategy network and data base with Police, Fire, Department of Building Inspection and the ABC to keep current records on establishments for permit compliance and validity, occupancy and assembly loads, safety compliance and outstanding violation monitoring. Enact a moratorium on new licenses for this area. Take swift action on locations that violate ABC, SFPD, SFFD, DBI, or Entertainment Commission permit rules. No new “Extended Hours of Operation” permits that allow clubs to operate beyond 2 AM should be granted. In anticipation of documented violations, establish a protocol to hold hearings and/or suspend licenses of businesses within 30 days of being cited by the SFPD, SFFD, ABC, other law enforcement agency and/or the City Attorney. Sheriff’s Department- Assign adequate personnel and vehicles to transport and book individuals on weekends- Friday and Saturday nights between 10 PM to 4AM. A minimum of two patrol wagons is requested. SFFD-Fire Marshal- Continue weekly permit and safety checks of clubs with concentration on overcrowding in clubs between the hours of 10 PM-2 AM. Overcrowding makes it difficult for club managers to properly monitor the behavior of their patrons including sales to minors, serving to inebriates, fighting and other safety issues inside and in front of the clubs. As a member of the Broadway Corridor Inspection Team, the Fire Marshal shall share information regarding occupancy limits, code violations and related information. Juvenile Probation- Reinstate curfew and/or make a designated Broadway Corridor Area as an “Adult Entertainment Area. This would exclude those under 18 years old allowed between the times of 12 AM to 6AM in the designated area. Dedicate a team to receive juveniles at Central Station to be transported to the Community Assessment and Referral Center, (CARC), or other facility. Planning Department- Enact a moratorium of new “Conditional Use Permits” for “Extended Hours of Operation” beyond 2 AM. Revoke existing “Conditional Use” permits from the three or more fast food restaurants in the area that are permitted to remain open until 4 AM. City Attorney-

Central District Code Enforcement follow up with problem locations. Work with the Entertainment Commission, Police, Fire, DBI and ABC to share information on entertainment locations in the affected area. District Attorney Follow up prosecution of Municipal Police Codes, Fire Codes, Business and Professions Codes and Penal Code violations. Refer cases that are not prosecuted to Community Dispute Services or other agency for follow up. DPT-MTA- Assign four Parking Control Officers from 8 PM-2AM to handle tow away zone on Broadway, coordinate traffic control for MUNI routes and for areas as needed for traffic diversions, including Coit Tower and the Broadway Tunnel. DPW- Street Cleaning water trucks to clean corridor streets at 2 AM. Monitor area for graffiti and trash build up on Broadway and around perimeter streets. Steam clean sidewalks in front of clubs on a weekly basis. Department of Electricity- Perform monthly surveys along the corridor for street lighting problems.

Bayview District

201 Williams St San Francisco, CA 94124 415-671-2300

The original station, known as South East Station and later as Potrero Station, was built in 1915 to serve the residents of Potrero Hill and Bayview. In 1987, voters approved a bond measure to build a new station at 201 Williams Avenue. The newly named Bayview Station opened in February 1997.

The Bayview Police District covers one of the largest areas and includes the southeastern part of the city, extending along the eastern edge of McClaren Park (Cambridge Street) to the Bay and south from Channel Street to the San Mateo County line.

The area includes Monster Park, home of the San Francisco 49ers, and is the focus of a major redevelopment effort at Hunters Point with a new municipal rail line to extend the length of Third Street.

Accomplishments During the year members of Bayview station were successful in reducing crime in many categories and developing a better working relationship with the community. The effort involved explaining my approach to crime problems, informing the community about recent incidents and the outcome of our effort, educating the community regarding how to obtain services, provide them with a sufficient amount of information so they could understand our limitations, and establishing framework to address problems where they could see a notable change in a short period of time.

Special Operations – Crime Reduction Strategy Several different techniques were used to reduce crime. Most notably was the staffing of the violent crime suppression units (3C48, 3C90, & 3C91). These units provided an enhanced amount of patrol officers each day that responded to "hot spots" within the district. These units took action to prevent crime (916, 917, etc. investigations), arrest individuals engaged in criminal conduct and provide a higher level of visibility in the community. Inconjunction was the effort by the members of the cease-fire team who conducted investigations that developed enough information to obtain search warrants, arrest warrants and on-view arrests. Another key part in reducing crime was the day to day effort by the members assigned to patrol the district. The men and women of Bayview station provide the highest level of service possible to arrest criminals and provide the community that they were here to assist them. The implementation of significant programs: During 2006, several programs were created or expanded to reduce crime and provide a working relationship with the community. On a typical month, members of Bayview station would plan and execute Robbery Abatement Team operations that are designed to arrest suspects who prey on people that they perceive as the most vulnerable of victims. The Serious Traffic Offender Program (STOP) that results in the arrest of people who are often driving vehicles in violation of State law and are involved in more serious criminal activity. To combat narcotics violation, the Buy/Bust program that involves a decoy officer purchasing drugs from dealers in the community and then arresting the individual.

Bayview District

Community Policing

The implementation of a police community meeting hosted by the commanding officer of Bayview station. Each month the community attends a meeting that has guest speakers from other city agencies. The guest speakers inform the community on the services that they provide and recent events involving that agency in the community. The city attorney updates the community on recent code enforcement action and is available at the end of the meeting to receive new complaints. I provide a crime update, take questions, receive new requests for assistance. I have attended dozens of community meetings and educated the community about my resources and our effort to address crime. Often times action was taken but because the community was not aware of it, their perception was that the matter was not addressed. Another emerging event that is being used is to have some patrol officers stop by at the beginning of community meetings to introduce themselves to the attendees. While the meeting may be facilitated by anyone from a Sergeant to Captain, the community has an opportunity to meet the officers and the officers have the opportunity to meet the community.

Accomplishments During 2006, Mission Station had five on-going district enforcement operations and many targeted operations to address specific crime problems. Ongoing operations include: prostitution abatement, narcotics enforcement and violence reduction. Targeted operations have included a sixty-day operation at 16th & Mission Streets, burglary abatement in Noe Valley and the reopening of Garfield Park. Through directed patrol and our enforcement operations, Mission Station personnel made 2,158 Felony arrests, 1,844 Misdemeanor arrests, 1,280 Narcotic related offenses and wrote 5,510 Moving Violations and reduced reported crime in the District by approximately 4%.

Special Operations – Crime Reduction Strategy Several areas of the Mission Police District have seen an increase in the number of burglaries, robberies, and gang activity. Violent crimes have also occurred in and about the Bernal Dwellings Public Housing. Our violence reduction plan has increased patrols to specific problem areas. It has reduced the number of incidence and curtailed some of the violence that had been occurring. Directed patrols focus on core problems and the associated violations that adversely impact the quality of life for those who live and work in the area. On a positive note, The Valencia Gardens Housing Development has reopened with few problems. The Valencia Gardens, previously a very troubled public housing development, reopened over the summer with over 700 residents. In preparation for the reopening, Mission Station worked closely with the property management company, neighbors and residents to prevent the return of the crime that plagued that community. Other ongoing programs include: • Policing “hot spots” with a variety of resources from within the police

department, • Concentrated enforcement for robbery, burglary, narcotic, and quality of life

issues, including decoy operations as appropriate, • Working with other city agencies to improve the quality of life for our

residents, • Graffiti enforcement and clean-up coordinated with DPW, • Working with DPT, traffic safety, planning, enforcement and education, • Working with the City Attorney’s Office, Code Enforcement to abate

problems at specific properties, • Event Planning and coordination for parades, demonstrations, celebrations and

street fairs, • Working with SAFE, coordinating safety presentations and neighborhood

watches, and • Education through community meetings, newsletters and e-mails

Mission District

Community Policing Community policing is the core of our policing efforts. Mission Station personnel conduct presentations throughout the year for a variety of businesses, organizations and community groups. During these meetings, topics of discussion cover but are not limited to: district make-up, special events, calls for service, crime statistics, arrest statistics, and specific concerns, including robberies, residential and auto burglaries, gang activity, prostitution, narcotic sales and traffic violations. Follow-up to these community meetings often results in directed enforcement to address the specific community concerns. In addition to going into the community for meetings in the neighborhoods, Mission Station publishes a weekly e-mail letter and holds monthly community meetings at the Station. The newsletter and monthly meeting is a means to inform the public of currents events, the latest crime statistic and trends, as well as, obtain input from community members and groups. This open forum affords the residents and merchants within the community an opportunity to voice their concerns about specific incidents and or critique our response to crime issues in our district. Currently, there are 75+ groups and organizations within our district boundaries. In addition to our meetings, we attend their meetings, whenever invited. Through e-mail, phone, community newsletters and neighborhood meetings, officers at Mission Station maintain open communication within our community. The personnel at Mission Station continue building bridges within the community; this has been accomplished through their dedication and hard work.

Kevin Dillon

The Northern Police District encompasses several diverse neighborhoods, including the Western Addition, Pacific Heights, Japantown, Polk Gulch, Russian Hill and the Marina. The district is bounded by Larkin Street, Market Street, Steiner Street to Broadway, and west on Broadway to the Presidio. The north boundary of the district is San Francisco Bay. Although the Northern Police District is geographically one of the smallest, it is one of the most densely populated.

The Northern District is also a favored location for street fairs, celebrations and cultural events, including the Fillmore Street Jazz Festival, Fleet Week celebration, and the Nihonmachi Street Fair, all of which add a rich mix to the cultural flavor of the district.

Northern District

Accomplishments Hayes Valley North Housing Development: Drug dealing has plagued this development for many years. Neighbors have worked with the police to identify and eliminate the problem. During the last year the problem was first eradicated at one corner and after further efforts street drug dealing has practically ceased. It appears that some of the activity has moved to Hayes Valley south, several blocks away. Efforts are underway to attack the problem at the new location. Our success was due to the continual efforts of several community members that never ceased in their efforts to improve the neighborhood. Traffic Enforcement: Members of Northern Station wrote 6032 moving citations in 2006. This represents an increase of 27% over 2005. With the assignment of motorcycle officers to the station we showed a 71% increase in citations for speeding violations.

Special Operations – Crime Reduction Strategy The strategy used by Northern Station is to be flexible in our response to the crime hotspots. The last year has seen a major effort to manage and reduce the gun- related violence in the lower part of the district. Our plainclothes teams have worked with Gang Task Force, Narcotics Division and DEA to reduce the violent crime. Informants have been very effective in providing the needed information to conduct numerous search warrants and to make arrests. Our code enforcement officer and our street crimes unit work closely with the member of the City Attorney’s office assigned to assist us with code enforcement issues. While these efforts include the entire northern district there has been a focus on the Haight St. corridor. Vice Operations: Prostitution is a significant problem in the Polk St. corridor. Officers from Northern Station have worked with our vice inspectors throughout the year to arrest pimps, prostitutes and their clients. These operations have resulted in hundred of arrests. Narcotics Operations: Narcotics are a major problem and cause of the violence in the Western Addition and Hayes Valley communities. Our plainclothes street crimes unit has worked with narcotics and DEA to make dozens of arrests in this area. Western Addition foot beats: Northern and Park Stations were at the center of the legislation promoting foot beats throughout the city. Northern was already staffing the required number of beat officers when the legislation was introduced. Northern presently has 19 beat officers with 11 of those officers working in the Western Addition, Hayes Valley and Haight St. corridors.

Northern District

Community Policing Officers have worked with members of the Hayes Valley Neighborhood Association to help with their Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas events that help bring these holidays to the poorer young residents of Hayes Valley. The majority of the recipients live in the housing developments. Northern Station works with SF SAFE to create neighborhood watch programs throughout the district. A new development is combining the concept of neighborhood watch with NERT so that residents of a block can look after each other in the event of a disaster.

Park District

1899 Waller Street San Francisco, CA 94117 415-242-3000

The Park Police District comprises the area bordered by Geary Boulevard, Steiner, Market, Upper Market, 7th Avenue and the vast east end of Golden Gate Park. The men and women officers at Park Station serve the communities of Cole Valley, Haight Street, the Western Addition, Twin Peaks, and the Duboce and Castro areas. They work in patrol cars, on foot beats, on buses, patrol wagons and off-road vehicles from the renowned bucolic stretches of Golden Gate park to the world-famous thoroughfares of Haight Street and Castro Street. Built originally as quarters for the Mounted Unit, the station was reopened in 1995 after a complete refurbishing, maintaining the original 1910 Mission-style façade with its stucco walls and tile roof. The station is now an efficient, functional and secure place for officers, as well as a non- intimidating building for the residents and visitors on the surrounding neighborhoods.

Accomplishments • Reduced homicides from seven in 2005 to two in 2006 • Violence around the Robert Pitts Housing Development reduced through foot

patrols and a joint Narcotics DEA operation resulting in numerous warrants. • Knock Out Posse (KOP) activity in the King-Garvey Cooperative Housing

Association curtailed through combination of foot patrol, GTF, Northen Station, Narcotics and General Work arrests.

• Creation of the Alvord Lake Task Force. This brought together City Departments such as (Recreation & Park, DPW, DCYF, DPH), Coalition on Homelessness, youth advocates (Homeless Youth Alliance, Larkin Street Youth, neighborhood groups (HAIA, HANC) and interested neighbors to try to fashion a community response to the homeless youth and the drug dealing in the area.

• Increased staffing of foot beats from 4 officers to twelve officers. There are now five full time officers on the Upper Haight Street beat 3F43. One Officer starts at 0800 hours. Five Officers work 1100-2100 hours.

• Continuations of Park Station policy that all officers not on probation have steady assignments. Each sector or beat on each shift has areas designated by Lts & Sgts for attention and 10-8 foot patrol.

• Increased community involvement in disaster preparedness through participation in the OES District Five initiative. A well-attended Community Forum in April had representatives from SFPD, OES, SFFD, NERT, SFUSD, DPW, DPT, SFPUC, MUNI, UCSF, USF, and the Red Cross each give a presentation and answer question on the disaster plans.

• The San Francisco Scum F*** gang centered at Haight & Cole caused grief to longtime residents by their increasingly uncivilized behavior leading up to beatings & robbery. They were suppressed and are no longer a factor in the area.

• Clean up of Eastern End of Golden Gate Park. This was achieved through a combination of the Department efforts. Outreach teams offered services and alternatives to life in the park. Early morning operations used a combination of outreach officers offering services and other officers citing or arresting people trashing the park. RPD employees would follow and clean up.

• Crack house at 1730 Grove closed with Narcotics by using a controlled buy followed up with search warrants

• Crack house at 42 Downey shut down through Park plainclothes activity followed up by code abatement.

• Abandoned house at 1949 Oak was being used as crash pad for the SFSF gang. Code Abatement officer located elderly out of town owner and forced it to be sold.

• Mail theft ring at 1900 block of Grove spotted. Postal Inspectors brought in suspects arrested.

• Long time drug house at 566 Central is jointly owned by family members. They were persuaded to buy out problem brothers.

• Provided impetus for eviction proceedings for 1150 Pierce a KOP gang stronghold.

Park District

• Contributed over $8,500 to Combined Charity Campaign • New Panhandle bathrooms remain untrashed through outreach to homeless

groups asking that they treat it as their resource and inviting them to opening.

Special Operations – Crime Reduction Strategy The two major crime areas were the Western Addition and Upper Haight. Western Addition The violence around the Robert Pitts Housing Development and the Martin Luther King-Marcus Garvey Cooperative Housing Association had resulted in six homicides within a block of these developments. We increased our Western Addition Beat 3F44 from two officers on the swing watch to two teams of two officers on the swing watch and two teams of two officers on the 1100-2100 watch. The 3F44 beat also included Divisadero Street and Lower Haight Street. In the Lower Haight beat officers were instructed to continue patrol into the Northern District on the 300-500 blocks of Haight Street. We addressed Violence Reduction to staff an additional two-officer team on the swing watch. This overtime resulted in 205 felony arrests, 250 misdemeanor arrests, 734 moving violations and 305 parking citations. We had regular Fugitive Recovery Enforcement Team (FRET) operations in the area. We coordinated information with both Northern Station Plainclothes unit and the Gang Task Force (GTF). Narcotics used a DEA informant to make drug buys in both developments leading to over 30 arrest warrants. We also instituted five Serious Traffic Offender Program (STOP) traffic enforcement programs leading to over 75 cars being towed. When a kidnapping/beating between the KOP and the “Choppa City” Gang a block away Park Officers worked closely with General Work and GTF to make arrests. We then followed up with the DA’s office to keep the suspects incarcerated. The above strategy stopped gang members and associates from loitering freely and slowed the violence. Upper Haight Street & Golden Gate Park The Upper Haight had several issues. Starting in winter a new gang of mostly homeless youth formed at Haight & Cole. They called themselves the San Francisco Scum F*** and had the individual letters SFSF tattooed on adjoining fingers. They engaged in inappropriate behavior including aggressive panhandling, to urination in public, to littering, to blocking the sidewalk, to beatings and robberies some with anti homosexual slurs being uttered. We had marijuana and psychedelic drugs being sold mainly in the Alvord Lake area at the Haight & Stanyan entrance to Golden Gate Park. There were also thugs coming from other areas to rip off the mostly “hippie” type dealers. We doubled our foot patrols to two officer teams working from 1100- 2100 hours. We also had midnight units walk Haight Street from 2100 hours to midnight. Beat officers targeted the most obnoxious members of the SFSF gang for enforcement of the law. Eventually our regular presence, enforcement activity and deaths due to overdoses drove the SFSF away. Our plainclothes officers on day watch and swing watch made almost daily attests of drug dealers. Buy Bust operations at least every month in conjunction with Narcotics would target the violent elements for arrest.

Park District

Enforcement Operations and Results

Park Code Enforcement These operations were performed between the hours of 10pm and 6am when parks are closed. Our PARK officer, Operation Outreach officer, and other officers would go out after campsites with RPD employees. Illegal campers egregiously damaging the park would be targeted. Outreach officers would offer services while other officers would take enforcement actions. RPD employees would clean up the areas after the people were moved out. Sixteen operations resulted in seventeen bookings and 184 citations. Park Station did not start tracking statistics for other operations until July. STOP Program Five Operations four of which resulted 64 tows and 375 moving violations Buy Bust Six operations after August & arrests not tracked FRET Two after August & arrests not tracked

Community Policing Alvord Lake Task Force (ALTF) Alvord Lake is a sometimes filled pond between the Haight & Stanyan entrance to Golden Gate Park and the tunnel leading to Sharon Meadow and the Children’s Playground. As a legacy from the 1960s youth would come from around the world to experience the liberal values of the area. Many would come to sell hippie type drugs of marijuana and psychedelics. When relatively peaceful dealers populate an area possessing money and drugs more violent criminals would come to prey upon them. Park Station would receive reports of beatings and sometimes admissions that victims were robbed of their drugs. These dealers would be arrested several times and just when serious sanctions appeared possible they would leave town making way for another. The ALTF was started by Park Station to fashion a community response to the problem of homeless youth and drug dealing in the Alvord Lake area. All members of the community were invited to bring their ideas. Specifically invited were two local youth outreach groups (Homeless Youth Alliance & Larkin Street Youth), Neighborhood groups (HAIA, CVIA), City Departments (RPD, DPH, DCYF, DA, City Attorney), Supervisor Mirkarimi’s office, Coalition on Homelessness. Bringing all these groups together resulted in increased communication and understanding. When the new Panhandle bathrooms were opened RPD was able to talk to the youth outreach groups about their fears that they would be destroyed. We asked the outreach groups top communicate with the youth that the bathrooms were for them as well and they would be losers if damage was done. The homeless youth attended the formal opening and the bathrooms are still in good shape. When the SFSF began their activities neighborhood members used the ALTF to express their displeasure. The outreach teams were given to opportunity to change behavior. When that failed the outreach groups did not oppose Park Station enforcement efforts. The ALTF became a forum for community ideas. The outreach groups asked for showers, sharps containers and jobs. One outcome has been the monthly Alvord Lake Garden Party where neighbors, RPD, Park Station, DPW and homeless youth come together to spend a Saturday morning cleaning up the area and planting. E mail has been used to keep the wider community up to date. Several Park District Community Forums have been use to allow people to participate at night. While the ALTF has had its critics it has allowed the community to move forward with the SFPD on a response to this decades long problem. Village Project Summer Programs The Village project under the leadership of Adrian Williams created a summer program including lunch for Western Addition youth. Park Station officers helped arrange, transport and accompany inner city youth on an outing to Santa Cruz. Village Project Halloween at Hamilton Rec Center. Park Officers provided food and helped at the Halloween haunted house happening in the Rec Center.

Covering the northwest corner of the city, the Richmond police district is largely residential, but also includes the long commercial, shopping, and restaurant corridors of Geary Boulevard and Clement Street, most of Golden Gate Park, the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and the University of San Francisco campus.

Richmond District

Accomplishments

Crime mapping statistics indicate that there was a 2% reduction in part one crimes in 2006 compared to the previous year. There was a 2.5% decrease in burglaries and robberies and a 25% decrease in the number of vehicle thefts. There were slight increases (.1 %) in arson and assaults and an 11% increase in petty thefts. The decrease in burglaries and robberies is a good indicator as to the overall safety of the district. The reduction of a personal crime and crime in ones home is important to the community and from police perspective. The mandate of monthly COMP Stat presentations has also been a valuable mechanism in evaluating and addressing crime problems within our district. The review and coordination of required COMP Stat categories related to staffing, comparison of crime statistics, response times, traffic data, firearm seizure, overtime summary and personnel issues provide an important overview of district operations.

Increased Traffic Safety Traffic safety is a high priority for the residents and merchants in our district. The district has major thoroughfares that intersect the district, increasing commute and overall traffic congestion on a daily basis. We have Park Presidio Boulevard, Geary Boulevard, California Street, Clement Street, Arguello Boulevard and Fulton Street. The population of the district includes a majority of older adults that live and shop in the district, along with the large residential and merchant corridors that include families with children. In 2005 and 2006, there were no traffic fatalities in the Richmond district. On a daily basis our officers conduct aggressive traffic enforcement. In 2006 officers issued approximately 7, 400 citations, which was the third highest of the ten district stations. The assignment of two P2 Solo Motorcycle Officers in the district has been a tremendous resource. The strategic placement of the radar trailer is also a valuable resource in educating motorist regarding their speed in the district. Our overall traffic citations have decreased 9% from 2005, however, there are external factors impacting the statistics. We have less staff, increased special events and specialized units. However, we’ve employed a system of ‘target enforcement’ that has proven effective in reducing accidents and more importantly, traffic fatalities. Each sector car and the P2 Solo Motorcycle officers has a target enforcement location each month within the sector or district. Overall, I believe the community perspective is that the police department has increased traffic safety in the district. The Traffic Bureau has been a tremendous resource through the Pedestrian Right of Way Program. In 2006, the Traffic Company operated eight enforcement operations, predominantly along Geary Boulevard and issued 598 citations. 524 of the citations were issued for failure to

Richmond District

yield to a pedestrian. Their enforcement contributed greatly to educating motorists that they are required to yield to pedestrians at an intersection and increasing traffic safety in our district.

Special Operations – Crime Reduction Strategy The decrease in part I crimes for 2006 can be attributed to a combination of daily crime analysis and the strong community policing partnership that we share with the residents and merchants in the district. The daily review of police reports assists in identifying a crime series or crime pattern in the district. If we determine that a crime series is occurring based on the type of crime, location of crime and method of the crime, we quickly formulate a task force and develop a community-policing plan that includes increased police enforcement and outreach to the community. An example of this partnership occurred in April, 2006 when a robbery series was identified in Presidio Heights. Within one week the same suspect had committed three street robberies against residents in the neighborhood. The Robbery Detail provided information regarding the “Presidio Heights Bandit” and we quickly formulated an enforcement plan. I contacted the Presidio Heights Neighborhood Association and notified the president of the crime series. I requested that she notify the residents of the incident, the suspect description and I provided her with safety tips that included having the residents call the police if they observed any suspicious individuals in the neighborhood. We also had SF Safe, prepare a safety flyer and distribute the safety information to the residents in the area, as not all residents were associated with the neighborhood association. As the community outreach continued, we increased patrols in the evening hours and deployed a team of undercover officers for a 30 day period. Our task force made several arrests related to possession of burglary tools, parole violations, narcotics violations and various offenses related to their surveillance activity in the presidio heights area. Within six weeks of the initial robbery officers from Ingleside Station arrested the suspects in conjunction with intelligence information obtained by the Robbery Detail. The individuals responsible for the Presidio Heights robberies had committed several robberies citywide. The coordinated community policing response to the Presidio Heights robbery series was a very effective response to a crime problem. We notified the public, involved them in the policing of their neighborhood and instituted an aggressive enforcement plan. Although our task force did not result in the arrest of the initial robbery series, the presence and arrests of our task force deterred criminal activity in the Presidio Heights neighborhood. The allocation of funds from the Violence Reduction Plan provides valuable resources to deploying additional personnel to address crime series. When a serious crime series is identified, an immediate response is vital. The utilization of on-duty personnel is not always available, therefore, the funds to assign extra duty personnel to supplement staffing for the task force is crucial in addressing

Richmond District

the crime problem at hand. The ability to mobilize an immediate task force greatly enhances our ability to suppress crime and impact the decrease in crimes. The utilization of specialized units at the station level and maintaining sector car integrity also contributes greatly in reducing crime. The Park Car officers assigned to Golden Gate Park and the adjacent area address issues such as, encampments, vehicle camping, homelessness and the daily liaison with Rec and Park gardeners. The Operation Outreach officers are assigned to homeless issues throughout the district. They work closely with the Park Car officers and devote a majority of their time addressing the homeless issues along the Clement Street and Geary Boulevard corridor. The Plainclothes officers are our two-man crime suppression unit. They address serious crimes through surveillance and intelligence gathering methods, as well as patrol and enforce the high crime areas in the district.

Richmond District

Community Policing The Foot Beat officers are our most effective community-policing unit. There were two Foot Beat officers assigned to the Geary and Clement merchant corridor during the day watch hours, however, the program was expanded in November, 2006 with two additional Foot Beat officers in the merchant corridors in the evening hours. The evening Foot Beat patrol will be especially effective in dealing the nightclubs and bars in the assigned area. The practice of staffing steady sector cars for each shift is also an important part of crime suppression. The officer’s assigned to a regular sector are familiar with the crimes and problem areas in their sector. These officers also make contacts with residents and merchants in their assigned sector.

Implementation of Significant Community Police Programs

• Homeless Issues - The Operations Outreach officers and Park Car officers continually address quality of life homeless issues in the district, especially in Golden Gate Park, Fulton Street and along the Clement Street and Geary Boulevard merchant corridor. When the Operation Outreach officers and Park Car officers are not working, the sector cars assume the responsibility of addressing the homeless issues. The homeless issues include encampments, trespassing on private property, pan handling, abandoning shopping carts and general quality of life complaints.

• Code enforcement Issues - Our permit officer has worked on numerous code enforcement issues throughout the district. Many of the complaints deal with the problems from abandoned buildings and a few public nuisance properties. The abandoned property sites are a problem with homeless trespassing, graffiti and general cleanliness issues in the neighborhood. The permit officer contacts the property owner to notify them of the problem and obtain approval for enforcement of 25 MPC (No Trespassing) on the property. With the public nuisance sites our permit officer works with the City Attorney’s Office to determine the best course of action. In several cases, the City Attorney and Department of Public Health have conducted site inspections.

• Vehicle Camping – A continual problem in the five car sector is vehicle camping along Fulton Street, especially on the lower end towards ocean beach. The campers also frequent Golden Gate Park, however, when the park closes, the campers park on Fulton Street. The Park Car officers and sector cars conduct routine enforcement, however, there is no resolution to the problem. When the officers attempt to enforce 97 MPC, the occupants of the camper know if they don’t respond to the police, they can not be cited for the infraction. Therefore, the only course of action available to the officer is to mark the vehicle for a 72 hour notice, which requires the vehicle be moved within 72 hours or be towed for an abandon vehicle, 37a TC. The number of campers along the Fulton Street corridor is minimal as our sector cars keep the campers moving.

Richmond District

The vehicle camping is an on-going problem for the Richmond and Sunset Districts because there are no designated parking facilities for motor homes in the city. Therefore the motor homes occupy parking spots in the residential areas and cause quality of life issues for the respective neighborhoods. Formal meetings have been held with Supervisor McGoldrick office regarding providing locations for vehicle dwellers. The senior analyst from the supervisor’s office is exploring various options for vehicle dwellers.

• Graffiti Abatement Program – Random acts of graffiti occur throughout the residential and commercial areas in the district. As stated earlier, abandoned or vacant buildings receive a majority of the graffiti activity. The station works closely with the Graffiti Abatement Team to seek prosecution on known graffiti offenders. The CPSN team has also worked with the community to address graffiti issues, as well as the utilization of the Community Corridor Partnership that was extended to Clement Street in late November. The Foot Patrol officers are working with merchants to utilize this free program to keep their business graffiti free through the Department of Public Works.

Accomplishments

ALEMANY: Established an effective Alemany Working Group to diminish violent crime in the Alemany Public Housing Area and environs. Members of the working group are representatives of the Board of Supervisors, Police Commission, District Attorney, Neighborhood Activists, Mayor's Office of Criminal Justice, Ingleside Police Station, Safety Network, Tenants, Housing Authority and City Attorney. This Group has assisted us immensely in reducing violent crime and improving the quality of life for residents. TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT: Members of the Ingleside Station wrote 9,322 moving traffic citations in 2006, fully 1600 more than the closest police station. SUNNYDALE: The Sunnydale Housing Police Contingent has been a marked success in lessening the violence in Sunnydale. These community oriented officers under the direction of a sergeant have been lauded by the Housing Authority, tenants, community groups and other stakeholders. SCOFFLAW: A Station Scofflaw program was created in the last quarter of the year to cut through the bureaucracy and allow residents to call and email with violators. Station personnel then immediately tow the vehicles rather than having residents wait days and weeks for resolution. Forty (40) cars have been towed resulting in accolades from residents.

Special Operations – Crime Reduction Strategy The Ingleside Police Station personnel strategies to reduce crime are multifaceted and include traditional saturation of hot spots; a Housing Police model on site at public housing; community policing projects with sergeants as project managers; plainclothes enforcement for drug activity, robberies and burglaries; intense traffic enforcement; special bilingual enforcement programs in under represented areas of the district; foot beats in commercial areas; collaboration with investigative units with special emphasis on the Gang Task Force; intensive code enforcement with the City Attorney's Office; and a new neighborhood model of meeting with affected residents on crime problems with the residents assisting in formulation of the crime fighting strategy. TOTAL NUMBER OF ENFORCEMENT OPERATIONS AND RESULTS: Rarely does a day go by that the members of the Ingleside Police Station are not involved in an enforcement operation within the confines of the district. Most of these operations involve execution of search warrants, arrest warrants and surveillance of hot spots. The specific quantifiable results are unavailable but number in the hundreds.

Ingleside District

However, from time to time major enforcement operations are undertaken in the district to address vexing crime problems: In 2006 a street robbery abatement plan was promulgated under the direction of Sgt. Chris Pedrini and Sgt. Michelle Jean involving decoy officers. This program was successful in terms of numbers of street predators arrested with a majority charged as felonies by the Office of the District Attorney. Ten Operations from February 2006 to July 2006 40 Felony Arrests 29 of the arrests were rebooked as felonies by the District Attorney In November of 2006 an enforcement operation within the Alemany Public Housing Area was promulgated and continues into 2007. The November 2006 results include 7 arrests, 97 traffic citations, 13 vehicles towed, 66 traffic stops, 53 suspicious persons in vehicles investigated and 44 suspicious persons investigated.

Community Policing

COMMUNITY POLICING: A new model of community policing was promulgated in the Ingleside in 2006 that has resulted in a multitude of successes. Community members are solicited for community problems, the members are then convened with the officers at the station to assess and decide on a collaborative solution. An action plan takes place and then the community members are reconvened to assess the result. Eight exigent neighborhood problems have been and are being resolved with this model. NEIGHBORHOOD INTERACTION: Community policing in interacting with a score of well established neighborhood organizations has been taken to a new level. Sergeants are directly assigned to leaders of the organizations for queries and community policing projects. Communication with and attendance at these organizations is constant and unrelenting. All officers at the station are part of the mantra of Ingleside Station/Neighborhood Organizations. EMAIL: Ingleside in 2006 is the only station with a daily email of crimes and arrests for the residents. Close to 2,000 community partners receive the email and use this medium to connect with station personnel. It is a success beyond our expectations as folks can interact 24 hours a day and be ensured that within hours their concerns will be assessed and addressed.

Taraval District

Keeping the Romanesque-style brick exterior, the building was completely overhauled in 1996 through a 1987 bond issue. Like the other nine district stations, Taraval includes a community meeting room.

2345 24th Ave San Francisco, Ca 94116 415-759-3100

The Taraval Police District encompasses a large area of the western part of San Francisco, extending from the west of Twin Peaks areas to the Pacific Ocean and east to the county line, including a great swath of Golden Gate Park. Largely residential, the Taraval district contains a large number of schools, and features traditional shopping streets like Irving Street. Intersecting with Irving is 9th Avenue, which has increasingly become a destination restaurant corridor leading to one of the entrances of world-famous Golden Gate Park at Lincoln Way.

Neighborhood Action Plan: The Taraval Police Station Community Policing Plan consists of interaction between city agencies, community watch programs (SAFE), youth service centers, schools, churches, and merchants. The merchant associations conduct meeting (monthly or every two to three months) in their respective merchant corridors. The SAFE neighborhood watch groups in the Taraval (consisting of approximately 20) hold monthly meetings in their designated block areas. The schools, churches and service centers maintain meetings through PTA, Sunday masses, and select time periods throughout the year. Taraval Police Station maintains a Police Community Relations Forum (PCRF) on the third Tuesday of each month at the Taraval Station Community Room – 1900 hours. A report is presented by the Captain of Police regarding crime and community issues with a question/answer period. Taraval Station Community Policing Plan consists of officers working the sector cars, foot beats, SRO programs, special events (Christmas/Easter/Thanksgiving/Halloween), bicycle patrols, enforcement operations (traffic/homeless/graffiti/Operation Outreach, neighborhood clean up programs, etc.), problem solving worksheets and our permit officer deals with code enforcement issues. Our youth programs are centered around the youth service centers and Department of Recreation & Park facilities. Communication between all agencies, community groups, and merchants are made through email, email newsletters, telephone calls, news articles, and face to face meetings. Issues are resolved through actions taken with the above listed parties involved.

Community Policing What is SFCP?

• Community Policing in San Francisco is accomplished by bringing members of the police department, residents of the City and various City Departments together and holding them accountable for fighting crime. By combining the efforts of community members and City Departments, neighborhoods have been transformed in positive ways and have assisted in building community confidence.

• What makes SFCP different than programs presented in the past is that it combines the efforts of the police, the community, and other City agencies together to not only identify crime problems in the Taraval District, but jointly problem solve. This is accomplished using neighborhood-based beat officers; regular Beat Community Meetings of both police and residents; training for police and the community. The combination of these various entities will ultimately assist in identifying crime hot spots and positively impact crime.

• Even with the implementation of SFCP, police officers will continue to enforce the law and respond rapidly to serious crimes and emergencies. In order to make our streets safe, a partnership of the police working with the community and City government needs to occur.

• Problem solving in the Taraval District consists of the community policing philosophy of officers assigned to specific car and beat sectors working with the merchants and community members to resolve problematic issues. Coupled with problem solving worksheets, passing calls, and neighborhood watch programs, resolution for the crime or community concerns are handled appropriately. Utilization of enforcement operations, community clean-up and community events are essential in providing a progressive problem solving program.

Neighborhood Needs: The major Taraval District neighborhood needs in order to improve pedestrian/vehicle traffic safety, crime awareness, crime prevention, community based education, based on meetings with residents reflect the following: Continued support of Sports Programs for Youth such as those done in conjunction with the Sunset Beacon Center, Sunset Youth Service Center and Department of Recreation & Park providing youth sports activities. Continued support of the beautification projects in low income neighborhoods, such as the OMI, and along business corridors, such as Taraval Street, in order to assist the community in taking back their neighborhoods. It is vitally important for the community to become involved in this process and having them take ownership of the beautification projects. The various City agencies and private sector need to continue outreach to the neighborhoods prior to installation of major projects in residential and commercial areas. The neighborhood needs to be involved in all aspects of the beautification projects in order for such agencies

Taraval District

as Metropolitan Transportation Administration (MTA), PG & E, Comcast, etc. to properly address community concerns before they become police issues. Agencies such as S.A.F.E. need to continue meeting with established neighborhood watch programs and conduct outreach to neighborhoods which have yet to establish these programs. S.A.F.E. has a proven record which has assisted the community in becoming not only educated in crime prevention techniques, but directly getting the community involved in the solutions of neighborhood problems. Additional resources dedicated to target specific crime issues in the Taraval. Pedestrian/vehicular enforcement along 19th Avenue and Lincoln Way. Replenishment of transferred officers to assist in crime prevention/enforcement or assistance from Vice/Narcotics, Traffic, etc. to assist with issues pertaining to Vehicle & Homeless Habitation, Auto Theft/Boosting, Burglaries & Robberies.

CRIME WATCH AND SUCCESS STORIES ● Taraval Station has utilized the Crime Watch S.A.F.E. neighborhood watch

programs (established over 20 NWP). ● Neighborhoods are getting to know each other through the meetings established. ● Program SAFE has been useful in bringing communities together to better

communicate. ● The SAFE meetings and various community meetings have assisted Taraval Officers in identifying neighborhood problems. ● Taraval has been very successful in connecting with City Government Agencies

for resolutions to community concerns. ● Taraval has assisted in educating residents of reporting procedures of incidents &

crimes. ● Calls for service in specific areas have dropped over 75 % as a result of the

Neighborhood Watch programs instituted in the Judah/La Playa neighborhood. ● Ocean Miramar Ingleside (OMI) – TNT. Statistically, the Taraval Neighborhood

Team (TNT) team has made hundreds of arrests. They work on flex hours to address crime according to trends they observe. TNT has developed strong relationships with the communities they serve. The communities in turn have gained the trust of the Police. The team works with The Department of Recreation & Park and many resources within the area.

Taraval District ● Traffic issues: in 2003 the Taraval District had a number of vehicular fatalities.

This year alone, Taraval officers wrote over 13,000 moving violations targeting major corridors including 19th Avenue and other parts of the district. Traffic calming plans have been implemented working in conjunction with CalTrans and MUNI. Various strategies including the utilization of countdown crosswalks, traffic safety, and working with Assemblyman Leland Yee have helped ease many of the Traffic issues in the District. Beautification efforts along various corridors have also been beneficial. The Police Department Traffic Company’s “Pedestrian decoy operations” have been successful in the District as well. The combination of all the above listed efforts is reflected in the decrease of fatal traffic accidents.

Tenderloin District

Captain

Kathryn Brown

301 Eddy Street San Francisco, CA 94102 415-345-7300

A triangular area bordered by Geary, Market and Larkin streets, the Tenderloin Police District is the smallest of the ten district station areas. The Tenderloin Task Force was created in 1991 (with the first bicycle patrol in the city) to combat the high level of crime in that area, and made its headquarters in the basement of the historic Hibernia Bank building. A new headquarters, now officially known as Tenderloin Station, opened in October 2000 at 301 Eddy Street. The officers of Tenderloin Station patrol an area with the highest concentration of parolees in the city, but the area has also become a place of residence for many law-abiding immigrant families, especially from Southeast Asia

Tenderloin District

Accomplishments

Tenderloin Station had a very active 2006 year. The Tenderloin District's main accomplishment for 2006 was pulling the community and the businesses together to work as a team. The District was battling a fight with a multitude of homeless and narcotics use and sales in the Golden Gate Avenue corridor. This problem needed assistance not only from the Police Department but from the community and the local business establishments in the area. A round table meeting was set where we had an open forum with various groups. The intent of this meeting was to get everyone on the same page. Everyone had a clear understanding that they had to be a part of the solution to this community problem. With the diligence of the hard working officers at Tenderloin Station and the cooperation of the community and the local businesses, a change has begun. The station responded to a severe problem at the Presentation Senior Community at 301 Ellis Street. The senior citizens were having a problem with numerous people loitering in the area known for its narcotics use and sales. The station increased passing calls and concentrated their efforts in the area. The hard work paid off which resulted in a reduction of the narcotic environment. The San Francisco Senior Center on 481 O’Farrell Street was also experiencing a high level of narcotics activity. After meeting with the property manager, we set up a program to work together to solve the problem, which included focusing more police presence in the area. We are also working with the Towers and the Department of Public Works in having a gate erected on Stevelo Alley. When this gate is installed a significant change should be seen in the area. The U. N. Plaza has always been an issue in the Tenderloin District. In placing beats and running certain operations in the area the issues of the U. N. Plaza are slowly being chipped away. The most significant accomplishment for Tenderloin Station is the total amount of arrests our police officers at the station have made. The adult arrests in the station log book for the year 2006 numbered 4,314.

Special Operations – Crime Reduction Strategy In 2006 Tenderloin Station worked hard to reduce crime by constantly running at the station level and in conjunction with many outside units Robbery Abatement Teams, Buy Bust Operations, Fugitive Recovery Operations and STOP programs. We employed in our strategy many resources such as Narcotics, Gang Task Force, Hondas, FRET, and Probation and Parole units. The strongest asset to the station remained to be the dedicated and diligent work of the Tenderloin Police Officers

Investigations Bureau

Message from Deputy Chief Morris TabakOur primary objective is working together with the community to prevent crime through education and proactive enforcement actions and operations whenever possible. When crime does occur, it is our goal to investigate the facts of the incident and to identify those responsible for prosecution so they can be held accountable for their actions.

Since the beginning of 2004, the Bureau of Investigations has undergone many reorganization changes which has not only improved its overall efficiency, but has allowed us to provide better service to the public as well as additional support to the Field Operations Bureau.

Deputy Chief Morris Tabak

Examples of these improved changes are that the Robbery and General Work Units have started night watches. Teams of inspectors from these units work seven days a week until at least 4 a.m., making them immediately available to respond to crime scenes and conduct critical and often time-sensitive interviews and investigations. As staffing allows, these night watches will be expanded to other investigative units in the near future. Since June 2004, we have been coordinating with the Field Operations Bureau on the Department’s target specific enforcement and crime reduction strategy which was been largely responsible for the reduction in the overall homicides rate in 2005 from 96 to 85 in 2006. The city also saw a more significant reduction in the black versus black gang related homicides. In 2005 there were 29 of these homicides and in 2006 there were 15, a 48% reduction. This strategy focuses investigative and enforcement efforts on those persons who are responsible for a disproportionate amount of the violent crime in San Francisco. These efforts are concentrated on the most impacted neighborhoods of the City. This is done to both maximize impact and results as well as responding to the request of the communities being impacted. In order to help in this prevention and enforcement strategy, the Gang Task Force (GTF) has been doubled in size in the last 30 months, allowing them to concentrate more effort on preventing, enforcing, and investigating gang related violence. GTF’s operations have been significant in seizing hundreds of the over 1,100 firearms confiscated during 2006. A conservative estimate is that two to three dozen homicides were prevented as a result of these firearms seizures. Increases in the number of Narcotics operations have been critical in keeping drugs off the streets which often times are the catalyst for spontaneous violence and homicides. The Narcotics Division, working in concert with the Federal Drug Enforcement Agency as well as the California Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement, have resulted in the seizure of several hundred pounds; and several million dollars worth of elicit narcotics destined for the streets of San Francisco. These operations target the mid and upper level dealers.

Investigations Bureau In 2006, the Narcotics Division conducted over eight long term drug trafficking operations. They also conducted operations with the Drug Enforcement Agency, including 11 buy-bust operations lasting approximately one month each and eight Title 3 Federal operations throughout the city that resulted in the arrest of over 875 persons for the sale of narcotics. Early in 2005, we also embarked on initiatives and strategies to combat human trafficking. Our efforts in working with State and Federal law enforcement agencies, and the training that we provide to community based organizations have become a national model. In 2005, the crime laboratory received full American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors (ASCLD-LAB) accreditation in all disciplines, a significant milestone in the history of the San Francisco Police Department’s Crime Laboratory. There are approximately 4,000 crime laboratories world wide and less than 400 have such accreditation. This represents a significant stride in our continued efforts to provide the most professional and contemporary service as is possible to the citizens of San Francisco. A top priority for the Investigations Bureau once staffing allowes, is the creation of a dedicated elder abuse unit to more efficiently handle both physical and financial elder abuse incidents. These investigations are currently conducted by two separate investigative units. Also a top priority once staffing is available is the creation of a dedicated DNA cold-hit unit. Cold hits are currently handled by the investigative units responsible for the type of incident where a cold hit has been made. Since 2001, there have been well over 100 cold hits, 48 of which resulted in arrests. The Bureau of Investigations has realized many great successes since 2004, and will continue to institute innovative new programs to better serve the efforts of our Field Operations Bureau and the citizens of San Francisco.

Airport Bureau

Airports worldwide continue to be identified as potential targets for terrorism. The threat of global terrorist actions coupled with the continued conflict in Iraq persists as a source of concern. Because of this tenuous situation, the San Francisco Police Department - Airport Bureau has solidified a partnership with the Transportation Security Administration and other law enforcement agencies.

Acting Deputy Chief Samuel Craig

As a group, we continue to confront the challenges of maintaining a safe airport environment for the traveling public. We have been successful in enhancing our security posture without compromising our commitment to community policing. We take pride in providing optimum service to those we serve at the San Francisco International Airport.

The men and women who are assigned to the SFPD Airport Bureau continue to be vigilant and demonstrate a strong personal commitment to protect and serve those who travel and work at the San Francisco International Airport.

Bureau Overview The Airport Bureau of the San Francisco Police Department was established in July 1997 as the successor to the San Francisco International Airport Police. Twenty domestic, twenty-three international and fourteen cargo-only airlines are part of the 5,171 acres that are patrolled by the Airport Bureau. Airport Bureau officers provide safety for approximately 30,000 employees and 33 million annual travelers. The Bureau fully embraces the principles of Community Oriented Policing and customer service.

A Deputy Chief oversees the daily operations of the Bureau. In addition to Administration, Traffic, Patrol, Special Services and Security Divisions, there are a number of specialized police units dedicated to the safety of SFO. Additional resources and assistance are readily available from San Francisco Police Department’s Field Operations Bureau.

Airport Bureau

Patrol Division The Patrol Division is the backbone of the San Francisco Police Department’s presence at SFO. Patrol Division officers are charged with providing a full-range of traditional police services at the airport. These officers routinely respond to all calls for service, investigate crimes and work closely with the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Detectives, Drug Enforcement Administration, Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Customs, U.S. Federal Air Marshals and other federal law enforcement agencies assigned to SFO. Marked police vehicles are used to patrol the surrounding surface roads and airport buildings and facilities. Foot and bicycle patrols are used in the terminals and adjacent passenger areas.

Special Services & Security Division

The Special Services and Security Division oversees the Airport Bureau’s Terrorism Liaison Unit, the Canine & Explosive Ordnance and Detection Team, the Investigative Task Forces and the Community Policing Program.

The Terrorism Liaison provides updated security information to bureau members. The Canine & Explosive Ordnance and Detection Team provide a quick response to critical incidents. Members of this division participate in federal and county task forces such as the DEA Task Force and the Cargo Theft Task Force.

Traffic Division

The Traffic Division’s responsibilities include managing the Lost and Found Unit, staffing our 24-Hour Customer Service Police Desk, providing traffic enforcement, enforcing SFO Rules and Regulations, controlling access to the Air Operations Area and directing vehicular traffic in front of the terminals and on Airport roadways. These officers and Police Services Aides also ensure compliance with the mandates established by the Transportation Security Administration and SFO security regulations.

Community policing and customer service policies serve to guide the members of the Traffic Division. Most travelers’ first and last impressions of San Francisco and the SFPD are directly related to the services rendered by the members of this division.

Airport Bureau

Administrative Services Division The Administrative Services Division’s responsibilities include budget management, purchasing, personnel, payroll, management of our computer network, providing technical support to users, clerical support, police records management, managing our police report writing system, providing training, coordinating facility planning and maintenance, providing dignitary protection and managing the police firing range.

Community Policing Actions

The Airport Bureau’s community consists of other City workers, airline and tenant employees, members of other city, state and federal law enforcement agencies, and the millions of travelers and their families and friends that use San Francisco International Airport. The Airport Bureau reaches out to our community through direct contact by our officers stopping and talking with employees and travelers. Members also participate in scheduled meetings coordinated by Airport Administration, meetings with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies, and meetings with foreign consulate staff.

Significant Bureau Accomplishments

The Patrol Division confiscated 68 guns and 63 knives; detained 96 persons for mental health evaluations; responded to 178 narcotics related events; reported 134 stolen vehicles; and recovered 46 stolen vehicles.

Administration Bureau

The Administration Bureau is an important component in the delivery of effective, professional police services to the City and County of San Francisco.

Deputy Chief

Charles Keohane

Though relatively small, the Administration Bureau provides a broad range of services to both sworn and non-sworn members of the San Francisco Police Department. A sampling of specific services provided by the Administration Bureau gives some indication of the comprehensive nature of the Bureau. Responsibilities such as the recruitment and hiring of new police officers; the preparation and management of the Department’s budget; the recording and storage of police reports; the screening and overview of permit records and taxi services; and the update and maintenance of the Department’s work sites, telecommunications, and computer systems are just a few of the ‘behind-the-scenes’ chores handled by the Administration Bureau.

Tasked with providing the infrastructure and resources necessary to accomplish the primary mission of the Department--the assurance of the safety and well being of the people of the City and County of San Francisco--the Administration Bureau is ever committed to improving the quality and efficiency of these important functions.

Administration Bureau Overview The Administration Bureau is comprised of the Fiscal Division, Planning Division, Staff Services Division, Support Services Division, Technology Division, Training and Education Division, Risk Management Office, and Behavioral Science Unit. Services provided by the various units of the Administration Bureau include: budget management and oversight; recruitment, training, and development of officers; administration of payroll and employee benefits; oversight of legal questions and investigations; storage and preservation of property and evidence; maintenance and development of the Department’s infrastructure, including facilities, vehicles, and information technology; and support for officers and their families through various occupation-related challenges and crises. The Division Captains, Unit Directors, and Officers-in-Charge of the Administration Bureau advise and support Chief Keohane in the execution of his responsibilities, with unit leaders providing the direct guidance necessary to ensure that projects are on time, within established framework, and meeting set goals. In 2006, three managers of Administration Bureau units—Fiscal Division, Staff Services Division, and the Risk Management Office—were succeeded by non-sworn employees, hired as part of the Department’s commitment to increase the number of civilian employees in management and support roles.

Administration Bureau In August of 2006, Deputy Chief Charles Keohane succeeded Deputy Chief Antonio Parra as the head of the Administration Bureau. As the head of the Administration Bureau, Deputy Chief Keohane chairs the Uniform Safety Committee, Police Employee Group (P.E.G.) meetings, Duty Evaluation Hearings, Weapon Return Hearings, the Officer Involved Shooting Review Board, the Officer Involved Discharge Review Board, the Wall of Honor Screening Committee, and he serves as the Department’s Equal Employment Opportunity Officer.

Bureau Highlights for 2006 Examination Division. The Examination division is responsible for administering entry-level and promotional examinations for sworn and non-sworn classifications in the Department. Fiscal Division. The Fiscal Division is responsible for the development and oversight of the Department’s overall budget. Its Accounting Section tracks and makes payments on all bills for the Department. PLES/10B Unit. This unit processes all privately contracted requests for supplemental services. Fleet Unit. This unit manages the purchasing, outfitting, and maintenance and repair of the Department’s vehicles. Grant Unit. The Grant Unit identifies, reviews, prepares and applies for grant funding opportunities. Property Control Unit. The primary responsibility of this division is to receive, store and maintain all evidence and found property in a secure facility. Technology Division Records Management System (RMS) The RMS Project will deliver a modern records management system to replace the 30-year-old CABLE system. It will integrate with JUSTIS (the other SF Criminal Justice agencies) and the Sheriff’s Jail Management (JMS) together with their Mug shot system. The RMS allows police members to do single point of entry of detailed crime reporting, crime analysis and the ability for the Investigation Bureau to manage their investigative cases on-line and a lot more. System planning and the build process have been ongoing for nearly two years and a Pilot rollout is scheduled for March 2007.

Crime Mapping System

It has replaced old-fashioned pin maps with a state of the art crime mapping system to allow police managers to spot crime trends and hot spots and allocate resources

Administration Bureau appropriately. The system has allowed Police Commanders to hold modified Compstat type sessions whereby Police Captains become more accountable for the crime in their districts.

MDC Replacement The Police Department with the cooperation of the Department of Emergency Management (DEM) has been upgrading the Mobile Data Computers (MDC) in the more than 350 patrol units over the last three years. We are nearly 100 computers away from a complete transition to DATA911 MDC environment. These MDC devices are critical in providing officers with the ability to prepare incident reports in their vehicles and an enhanced connection to local, state and federal databases.

Level II Switch Project This project provides for the replacement of the City’s old and non-compliant switch to state and federal databases commonly referred to as the California Law Enforcement Telecommunication System (CLETS) switch. The new Level II switch ends a long standing out of compliant issue between the City and County of San Francisco and Department of Justice (DOJ) and brings the more than 40 outside agencies it serves in meeting NCIC 2000 Federal standards. Implementation will begin with the RMS rollout in March 2007.

Police Network & Computers Using grant funding the police department is in the process of a complete upgrade to the end-of-life police E911 network components and computers. The upgrade is necessary to run the new relational type software that will be used by the police department going forward in 2007 and beyond.

Police Intranet In order to provide current information to members on Department General Order, Department Bulletins, and police related internal databases; an Intranet site was developed and published on the Police Department’s E911 network. This has reduced the number of paper requests for information and provided a time saving access to needed information by members of the department.

Much work has been accomplished in 2006 to ready the police department for its jump into the 21st Century relational database management and real-time sharing of information throughout the criminal justice environment here in the City and County of San Francisco. However, much more work is needed. The year, 2007, will be the “Year of Implementation” for many software projects such as RMS, EIS, Level II to name a few of the important undertakings for the Police Department.

The success of these implementations will be predicated upon the commitment for staffing in support of these critical applications going forward. Each of these applications represents a significant change in the Police Department’s business process of handling

Administration Bureau and sharing of information regarding people, places and associated property. Accurate sharing of this information requires knowledgeable, trained and a committed technology staff for these applications that will ensure that the databases are complete, maintained and backed-up for our members use. Having an internal police department help desk will be beneficial to our members during the implementation and through the lifecycle of the Department’s business chance process.

Two-thousand & Seven, (2007) will be the “year of implementation” brining change for the police department. This will not be an easy change but a change necessary to achieve a service delivery to our citizens not envisioned by those building, deploying and using the applications. As 2007 comes to a close many members of the Department will realize the real-time capabilities of these software applications. As we step forward into the years that come, much work in the identification of offenders, reduction of crime and the ability to manage resources more efficiently and effectively will be credited to these applications that were implemented here at the Police department.

The Division strives to exceed Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training minimum standards and to deliver superlative instruction. The Division evidences the Department’s commitment to cultural competency and community policing in its curriculum. The Training Division is comprised of several organizational units, including the following five main units:

Basic Academy The San Francisco Police Department’s Basic Academy is certified by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards & Training (POST) to present all components of the Regular Basic Course. The primary goal of the basic course is to prepare students mentally and physically to advance into the Department’s field training program, and to join our ranks as San Francisco Police Officers. The Department’s Basic Academy consists of 1220 hours of instruction, which currently exceeds POST minimum standards by 525 hours.

Academy Office of Education and Training The Office of Education and Training provides experienced officers with the in-service training necessary to maintain their perishable skills, adopt innovative practices and stay

Administration Bureau abreast of current issues in law enforcement. This unit conducts Continuing Professional Training for all officers, and coordinates technical, supervisory, management and other career enhancing courses. This office is also responsible for management of the Training Division’s instructor pool and community outreach thorough the hugely successful San Francisco Police Community Academy.

Field Training Program The Field Training Program provides police officers who have just graduated from the Academy with further training designed to integrate what they have learned in the classroom with actual patrol operations. Throughout the 17 week program, each new officer is paired with a specially selected and trained Field Training Officer who acts as a teacher, mentor and role model. As the new officers work patrol shifts, they are given daily training and gradually introduced to increasing levels of responsibility until they are able to function as an independent police officer. The Field Training Program is certified by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards & Training (POST).

Range The Range staff ensures that sworn members of the San Francisco Police Department are thoroughly trained in the proper use of firearms and are properly equipped to effectively perform their duties.
