Safer San Francisco changes city policies to allow police officers to use publicly-owned cameras and surveillance drones to prevent, investigate, and solve crimes like retail theft, auto theft, and car break-ins.
Safer San Francisco eliminates duplicative and excessive reporting requirements, reducing the time officers are behind a desk and gets them out on the street. It also clarifies that in most cases, the officers can use technological solutions like body-worn cameras to record incident information, instead of having to go back to the district station to fill out paperwork.
Safer San Francisco changes the rules to allow officers to actively pursue suspects of felonies and violent misdemeanors, so long as the pursuit can be done safely.
Safer San Francisco prevents the Commission from micromanaging the Chief of Police and ensures that any new policies put in place do not require that more than 20% of an officer’s total on-duty time be spent on administrative duties.
