Consent and minutes: The commission voted to approve and file the consent calendar item that included the Internal Affairs Division annual report 2024, DGO 5.05 emergency response and pursuit driving annual report (1/31/2025), the department use of non-entity camera policy quarter 3, and the SFPD and DPA SB 1421 and SB 16 monthly report for February 2025. The motion to approve and file passed with recorded votes: Commissioner Wilson Leung — yes; Commissioner Clay — yes; Commissioner Yanez — yes; President Elias — yes.

The commission then voted to adopt the minutes for the February 2025 meetings. The motion to approve the minutes passed with the same recorded votes: Leung, Clay, Yanez and President Elias voting yes.

DGO 6.07 adoption: The commission approved the revised DGO 6.07 (dog complaints) by recorded vote (details in separate article). Recorded votes on that motion were Leung — yes; Clay — yes; Yanez — yes; President Elias — yes.

Closed session: The commission voted to hold closed session under San Francisco Administrative Code section 67.1(d); the motion to hold closed session passed with recorded votes Leung — yes; Clay — yes; Yanez — yes; President Elias — yes.

Post-closed-session disclosure vote: The transcript records a subsequent vote under San Francisco Administrative Code section 67.12(a) on whether to disclose any or all discussion held in closed session. The record includes a motion to not disclose and a second, and later records four \"yes\" votes. The transcript's sequence of statements is unclear about which motion the final tally corresponds to; the minute record shows four affirmative votes were recorded during the item.

Ending: The meeting then adjourned. Where the transcript showed ambiguity about the exact motion text for the final disclosure vote, the commission's official minutes should be consulted for the final administrative record.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of San Francisco - Video Open Video Only in Windows Media Player - Mar 12, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At its March 12 meeting the Police Commission approved filing a set of department reports, adopted minutes for February meetings and voted to hold closed session.

Officer Greg Southern, identified by the department as the subject-matter expert on vicious and dangerous dog issues, told the commission the policy had not been updated since 1994 and summarized key changes: a new definition section, reorganization of the policy by severity (from unleashed dogs to vicious animals), clarified hearing procedures and violations, and guidance for dog complaints that fall outside SFPD enforcement.

Commissioners approved the revised DGO by recorded vote. Commissioner Wilson Leung voted yes, Commissioner Clay voted yes, Commissioner Yanez voted yes and President Elias voted yes.

Officer Southern said the goal of the revision was to provide updated guidance to patrol officers and the Vicious and Dangerous Dog Unit when responding to these incidents. \"I'm happy to answer any of your questions,\" he told commissioners during the discussion.

Ending: The commission directed staff to transmit the revised DGO for meeting and conferring with affected bargaining units as required by law.","The Police Commission voted unanimously to approve a revised Department General Order 6.07 updating procedures on animal and vicious-dog complaints; SFPD officer Greg Southern presented the policy changes to the commission.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6636541,"Department of Police Accountability reports falling backlog, launches use-of-force audit survey",272,2548000,2820000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2609401-4f5b8416266c5c76bcb855ec20e417a4&start=2548&end=2820","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2609401-4f5b8416266c5c76bcb855ec20e417a4/thumbnail_2548000.jpg","/articles/6636541/San-Francisco-City/San-Francisco-County/California/Department-of-Police-Accountability-reports-falling-backlog-launches-use-of-force-audit-survey","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6636541-8b466014e13ef8f2007622430aaef07d/orig.mp4?Expires=1777667854&Signature=iIroM3xL7tAUZi4eE3N9JbFKlVrMACRJ0h8~RKo4Iny4fy6SPEa~coXyBHWWpDnjAwN~CD9~G3e4or7YNKHVikE6iHFm6f3oUO9Zq3BwaP2NkM2C7fKFGe0DaLB9j-1FzgvG-z1zcOFnfjpn2XSotsw5Bao5lbp5vCLMH~wTynpzMsO0zNlTZ3r8zCSpd17OuXG2oqkaqGIoRo6RIQhoLd~005wrMd50niUYeJavGRG~wzKTP1D4KJ8VeQKdysB2VYqkr0-AJmBywSpc96o4foFxhIuVSvYsnBLPb3EtAHls5undeIKD-KXV8AK66b6fjyEHHuYVETw1ONobKLhb5g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Paul Henderson, executive director of the Department of Police Accountability, told the Police Commission on March 12 that DPA is beginning a charter-mandated use-of-force audit and will survey commissioners to inform the audit objectives.

Henderson said his office opened 63 new cases and closed 69 since the last commission meeting. \"We currently have 16 investigations that have been open for more than 270 days,\" he said, adding that the number has declined since the prior report. He attributed long investigations to delays in obtaining third-party records, juvenile records, and other procedural issues that can prolong review times, and said staff review case specifics weekly.

Henderson said the policy division is in the final working group for Department General Order 6.16 (sexual assault) and has begun stakeholder engagement for DGO 6.09 (domestic violence). He also said staff are prepared to meet one-on-one with commissioners and will continue stakeholder outreach as those DGOs advance.

On oversight procedures, Henderson said DPA currently has 98 pending cases with the chief and two pending cases with the Police Commission. He told commissioners that recent work with SFPD legal has reduced the number of cases pending with the chief by more than 12% and reduced commission-pending cases by about 50% since the previous report.

Henderson closed by offering DPA contact information for members of the public: (415) 241-7711 and sfgov.org/dpa. He said he would follow up with commissioners on any case-specific questions, including the single case approaching the 270-day mark.

Ending: Henderson characterized the trend as an improving one and said DPA will continue audits and stakeholder engagement on policy updates.","DPA Executive Director Paul Henderson told the Police Commission the office opened 63 cases and closed 69 since the last meeting, is beginning a charter-mandated use-of-force audit survey, and is advancing several policy DGOs including sexual assault and domestic violence.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6636546,"SFPD reports drop in overall Part I crime; Jefferson Square Park operation leads to 86 arrests and narcotics seizure",626,1444000,2070000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2609401-4f5b8416266c5c76bcb855ec20e417a4&start=1444&end=2070","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2609401-4f5b8416266c5c76bcb855ec20e417a4/thumbnail_1444000.jpg","/articles/6636546/San-Francisco-City/San-Francisco-County/California/SFPD-reports-drop-in-overall-Part-I-crime-Jefferson-Square-Park-operation-leads-to-86-arrests-and-narcotics-seizure","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6636546-4add2b58bef10edf42ca0c8b006a1b70/orig.mp4?Expires=1777667854&Signature=UJP8jwpwYlZddmB4Xl~X3kwB2jAkk7WrwBtT5FLsYRiP8dF757JPTe9VdBHjTr3TtCYkBaN1yjzCzb5ncMNB-RLpfVnD4SQtEEZV9XhaibDFVjaHSrdWf85FWoXba8eJrPSvC0E0pU~vYi5hAEiQuYJaODgUNm5fjLpBmo4hwBpNkvS~gx5LPMRnReqdjJKvq1T1l-cElMWdVhI9VhTod4wyFAli1x4vmxvHI5KgfMUMWRdpxfhug6jv96kJgO2QbpJFLdbOq7ZFZgzNcl2PQoRkcSuIKDXpTfyaKmMlmwYgecCai~Jf0HHplGyWR1O~fmRER9X~bWYujAZgnAysXA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","San Francisco Police Chief William Scott told the Police Commission on March 12 that overall Part I crime is down 33% year-to-date, while gun violence has increased modestly.

Scott said the drop amounts to 2,479 fewer Part I incidents compared with the same period last year and described the breakdown: property crime down roughly 36%, larceny down about 15%, and a 14% reduction in violent crime overall. \"We are up in gun violence, 9% compared to 2024,\" Scott said, and noted there have been four more shooting incidents year to date and two more shooting victims than at the same point last year. He reported three homicides so far this year, the same as last year, and said the homicide clearance rate is about 60%.

The chief highlighted a February 26 Drug Market Agency Coordination Center (DMACC) operation at Jefferson Square Park, which he said responded to numerous community complaints about narcotics activity. The operation resulted in 86 arrests; 55 of those arrests were for narcotics-related charges, mostly misdemeanors, and 31 were for outstanding warrants from jurisdictions across the Bay Area. \"Since that operation, we have had no problems in the park,\" Scott told the commission.

In response to a public question, Scott said the department seized about 1.21 pounds of narcotics during the Jefferson Square Park operation and recovered drug paraphernalia.

Scott also briefed the commission on other recent incidents: a homicide on the 900 block of Ellsworth reported at 1:17 a.m. (an active investigation with no arrests at the time of the meeting); a carjacking on the 400 block of Bayshore Boulevard in which a victim was dragged and run over and the suspect vehicle later disabled by a tire-deflation device and the suspect arrested; and an incident at Stonestown Galleria in which two juveniles were arrested after officers located a replica-style assault rifle and a 9 mm ghost gun was later recovered.

Scott said the department seized 202 firearms this year to date and credited interagency cooperation for recent enforcement operations, naming the sheriff's office, DEA, fire department, Recreation and Parks and park rangers as partners. He also announced a virtual town hall on an officer-involved shooting scheduled for March 18 at 3 p.m.

Commissioners asked whether similar DMACC operations would be deployed elsewhere; Scott said the department will continue such operations at hot spots including the Mission (Sixteenth and Mission), Van Ness and Market, Sixth Street and areas in the Tenderloin, stressing the need for consistent enforcement to avoid displacement of activity.

Ending: The chief's weekly report emphasized both declines in several crime categories and targeted enforcement in problem areas. He said the department will continue DMACC operations and provide updates to the commission as investigations develop.","San Francisco Police Chief William Scott told the Police Commission the city is down 33% in Part I crimes year-to-date and described a Drug Market Agency Coordination Center operation at Jefferson Square Park that resulted in 86 arrests and the seizure of about 1.21 pounds of narcotics.","actionData","errors"]
