Summary

The Police Commission voted 7-0 to adopt SFPD's FY 2027–28 general fund budget submission, which SFPD presented at a base amount of $755 million (excluding the airport bureau); commissioners recorded unanimous support in a roll-call vote.

The Police Commission voted unanimously on Feb. 11 to adopt the San Francisco Police Department's proposed general fund budget submission for fiscal year 2027–28.

Kimmy Wu, SFPD chief financial officer, presented the department's budget framework and said the base general fund amount is $755,000,000 excluding the airport bureau. Wu said personnel costs represent about 84% of the base budget and that city sworn costs total $592,000,000 while civilian professional staff account for about $45,000,000. She listed four budget priorities: grow to full staffing; enhance public safety and street conditions; equip officers effectively; and strengthen technological infrastructure.

Wu described a package of department requests submitted in early December: 159 requests totaling $24,000,000, with the largest single non-personnel request category at $11,200,000 for technology and related non-personnel costs and $6,800,000 for new positions or reclassifications. She also summarized the NIBRS-compliant records-management system project and the Axon agreement executed in December 2025, noting an implementation schedule that began in January 2026 and a targeted go-live for July 2027 with an 18-month implementation window.

After the presentation a motion to adopt the budget was offered and seconded; commissioners recorded seven yes votes. The clerk read individual votes: Commissioners Techie, Scott, Leung, Yee, Elias, Vice President Benedikto and President Clay voted "yes," producing a 7-0 tally.

The commission's vote forwards the department's budget submission to the mayor's phase of the charter-mandated budget process; Wu said the mayor will submit a balanced budget to the Board of Supervisors by May 31, and the board phase will begin on June 1.

Motion details: motion to adopt the SFPD budget; vote 7 yes, 0 no, 0 abstain.
