Committee moves to align local stop-data reporting with state law (AB 953) and require quarterly local reports after implementation
Summary
The committee advanced an ordinance to reconcile local Administrative Code 96A with California Assembly Bill 953 and to require more frequent local reporting of stop data to the Mayor, Board of Supervisors, Police Commission and Human Rights Commission, with an implementation schedule to allow system build-out.
The Rules Committee on April 11 approved an ordinance to repeal duplicative local stop-data reporting requirements and align the city's reporting with Assembly Bill 953, the state law that mandates stop-data collection and reporting to the California Department of Justice.
Aliyah Chisti summarized the changes: AB 953 will require law enforcement to send stop data to the state DOJ beginning July 2018; because the state will issue its first annual report in January 2020, the ordinance reconciles local requirements with the state law and adds a local requirement that SFPD provide quarterly reports to the Mayor, the Board of Supervisors, the Police Commission and the Human Rights Commission once the city builds a compatible reporting mechanism. Deputy Chief Michael Connolly explained the technical steps and said the department expects to provide the first semiannual local report (covering July–December 2018) by May 7, 2019, to allow time to develop the necessary systems.
Committee members accepted amendments setting the initial semiannual reporting schedule and the later quarterly cadence; the committee moved the ordinance to the full Board with a positive recommendation.
