It also shows that overtime for special events and backfill, in particular, ballooned 592% from fiscal year 2018–19 to 2022–23.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFPD has a total budget of approximately $821 million, up nearly $200 million since 2020. However, a relatively small proportion of staff have clocked the majority of overtime hours. In fiscal year 2022–23, just 209 (12%) of sworn officers who worked overtime accounted for nearly one-third of SFPD’s total overtime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“SFPD does not adequately control staff use of overtime or monitor and enforce established overtime limits,” the report reads. “Overall, we found a lack of both internal and external accountability for overtime limit violations and excessive overtime at SFPD. The Department has not taken sufficient steps to enforce its overtime limits, and violations typically do not result in consequences or corrective action.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a written response to the audit, Chief Bill Scott said that the use of overtime in SFPD “is directly tied to the current understaffing of the Department,” which he said is short by at least 274 officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a necessary stopgap measure, the SFPD has been using overtime to backfill our patrol and investigation units to ensure San Francisco remains one of the safest cities in the country,” Paulina Henderson, SFPD’s public information officer, said in an email. “As we continue to rebuild our ranks, overtime hours will decrease, saving the city money and giving our incredibly hard-working officers a much-needed break.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12012421 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/2016Election1-1020x765.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report not only highlights the vast increase in overtime costs but also “potential abuse patterns” over how officers are taking sick and injury-related leave. Sick leave used by SFPD officers increased by 77% in the five years the audit reviewed, which overlapped with the COVID-19 pandemic. The report suggests that officers were more likely to use sick days on weekends “to avoid weekend duties” and that “SFPD did not enforce existing absenteeism policies or adequately monitor attendance during the audit scope period.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sick leave is directly tied to overtime use because SFPD must backfill positions when officers are unable to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Excessive overtime hours pose risks to public safety and officer health … and may generate unnecessary financial costs for the City,” the report reads. “SFPD must improve its oversight, reporting, and compliance with overtime policies to mitigate the risks associated with excessive overtime, including increased liability, impaired officer decision-making, and other negative health and public safety impacts.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Auditors also took a look at two specific initiatives where the police department has relied on overtime spending to increase police presence in a designated area. Those include the Union Square Safe Shopper Initiative and the Tenderloin Triangle Initiative. In both cases, the additional overtime led to no significant improvement in 911 response times or overall crime trends, according to the report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Preston, who called for the audit in 2023, slammed SFPD for weak oversight and urged incoming supervisors to follow through on efforts to ensure police spending is lawful and efficient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I knew it was bad, but not this bad,” Preston said in an email statement. “The violation of laws and contracts, the lack of oversight, and the abuse of overtime are alarming and require immediate intervention and oversight.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

That would be a 37% decrease from the 54 homicides recorded in 2023 — and the lowest since 1960, when there were 30, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/san-francisco-homicides-decline-19771624.php\">\u003cem>San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decline is even outpacing a national trend — the average homicide rate across 29 cities in the U.S. was down 13% through June compared with the \u003ca href=\"https://counciloncj.org/crime-trends-in-u-s-cities-mid-year-2024-update/#:~:text=The%20homicide%20rate%20during%20the,the%20first%20half%20of%202019.\">same time period last year\u003c/a>, according to the Council on Criminal Justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This statistic, along with double-digit percentage drops in violent and property crimes generally compared to last year, could be seen as a marker of success. Not everyone in San Francisco agrees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To consistently tell people crime is down is gaslighting,” Supervisor Ahsha Safaí said during \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12005315/watch-san-francisco-mayoral-debate-live-kqed\">a debate for mayoral candidates\u003c/a> hosted by KQED and the\u003cem> Chronicle\u003c/em> on Thursday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Crime is happening at a brazen level,” he said. “Crime statistically might be down, but property crime is not. And that’s what makes people the angriest — to hear the crime is down, things are getting better. Yes, they might be on the numbers side, but people don’t feel it because they’re seeing it on a daily basis.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Property crime is down 35% compared with the same time period last year, which was close to pre-pandemic levels in 2019, according to SFPD data. The biggest year-over-year decline through August is in theft from vehicles, which was up significantly in recent years, but there have been decreases across all categories through August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Violent crime is also down more than 13%, with the reduction in homicides contributing substantially.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, polling shows \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12003096/public-safety-takes-center-stage-as-sf-mayoral-hopefuls-court-chinese-american-voters\">public safety is the No. 1 issue for many voters\u003c/a> ahead of November’s election, and it was certainly a focal point of Thursday’s debate. Former interim Mayor Mark Farrell at one point said that “crime is at record levels” under Mayor London Breed’s leadership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of this dissonance could be because of the way crime is being perceived, one policy expert said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12003096 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240816-BREED-AAPI-MERCHANTS-MD-05-KQED-4-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These are the types of crimes that we might be reminded of on a regular basis, for example, that merchandise is being locked up,” said Magnus Lofstrom, policy director of criminal justice and a senior fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California. “There are these \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12004659/newsoms-support-for-harsher-theft-penalties-raises-questions-from-criminal-justice-advocates\">smash-and-grab\u003c/a> videos that oftentimes go viral and that, again, might give people a perception of the problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Target, you’ll likely need to call an attendant over to unlock the theft-resistant cases around face wash or allergy medicine from the pharmacy. Parking lots have signs reminding you not to leave anything of value in your vehicle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, Lofstrom noted, retail theft rates did rise throughout the pandemic.

Later, they returned to find about three vendors left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One vendor’s cart was inspected by the Department of Public Health and tagged to be impounded, according to Scott, who said that when the city worker tried to take the cart, a struggle ensued with the vendor, who would appear to be Casimer Julca, over her cart. Scott said that the altercation was not “assaultive.” As the two city employees attempted to get possession of the car, two SFPD officers stepped in, according to Scott.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers separated the woman from her cart, at which point she was unrestrained, he said. She then went back to the cart and grabbed it, and as the city workers tried to regain possession of it, one cut his hand, and Scott said the woman pushed the other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12003785 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/240910-TERRY-WILLIAMS-KQED-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the back-and-forth, Scott said the police officers decided to handcuff Casimer Julca. She was arrested on suspicion of battery of the two city employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott said that he had reviewed the body-worn camera footage of the incident and said the officers used “a minimal amount of force.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To release the footage, Scott said the Police Department would need to redact the face of the child and try to get permission from some of the witnesses in the video. He said he thought the department could do so within a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s nothing that I saw in this video that officers or anybody else involved did anything other than what they were asked to do in the way that they were asked to do it,” he told the commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Rouppet, the interim acting co-president of the Latinx Democratic Club, disagrees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When a woman is telling you that she’s leaving and then the next thing you see is she’s being pinned down on the ground, and the response to that is, ‘Well, we followed the process’ — that’s laughable. It’s not even genuine,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco has cracked down on illegal street vending over the past year.

"content": "\u003cp>San Francisco officials said Tuesday that the police are actively using drone technology, marking the first time in 24 years that police have had air support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police Chief William Scott said during a press conference that the department has deployed six drones in the past few months. The drones were purchased in May and cost $35,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This initial phase of the department’s drone program follows the passage of Proposition E in March. The measure allows SFPD to utilize drones and other surveillance technology, and it rolls back the city’s 2019 ban on the use of facial recognition technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While city officials said the drones are a “game changer” for the police department, some criminal justice experts and privacy advocates have pointed out concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It sort of comes up against the public square threshold for which you can reasonably expect to be observed by the state and potentially recorded by the state because drones are less visible than crime cameras,” said Jack Glaser, a professor of public policy at UC Berkeley. “Most people aren’t really aware of them and thinking about them, and yet [the cameras are] recording them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Glaser warned that if not used correctly, the technology could invade privacy and that the drones’ capacity could exasperate the over-policing of marginalized communities. He said that it’s fairly unsurprising that San Francisco is implementing the technology on the heels of the recall of former San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin in 2022 and amid the “doom loop” rhetoric contributing to a perception of increased crime in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think when people are concerned about crime, they get more tolerant of invasive, intrusive actions by law enforcement,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[aside postID=news_11998290 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/RS15012_475371701.jpg-alt_261-1440x1034.jpg']\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drones will be used to quicken response time, improve situational awareness and precision and help avoid unnecessary police chases, according to Scott. He and Mayor London Breed said they believe the technology will further reduce crime, which was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11996211/san-francisco-crime-is-down-significantly-but-its-not-clear-trend-will-last\">down significantly\u003c/a> in 2024.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is truly a force multiplier, and in light of all of our staff shortages, this could not have come at a better time,” Scott said at the press conference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>District Attorney Brooke Jenkins, who also spoke at the press conference, confirmed that she has filed charges in multiple auto burglary cases because of drones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“San Francisco has been far behind the curve in having the technology that we need to curb crime,” Jenkins said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some opposition groups have argued that the city’s use of drones violates California state law AB 481, which requires cities to go through a public approval process before acquiring items considered “military equipment.” Scott said the department believes it is in accordance with state law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The drones are not being used for surveillance purposes and can only be activated in response to police incidents. Footage is stored for up to 30 days before being deleted if not tied to a crime, Scott told reporters. Breed said the department is also increasing other surveillance technology and license plate scanners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The police department has plans to purchase 22 more drones, along with peripheral equipment and software, for an additional $324,000 this year, according to \u003ca href=\"https://sfgov.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=6717195&GUID=27A31B2E-869C-49A5-8E77-C85C3CA81DD9&Options=ID%7cText%7c&Search=drones\">police records\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",
