Paul has dedicated his career to keeping San Franciscans safe and there is no one better for this critical job,” Lurie said in a statement. “Together, we will support our law enforcement and ensure that every resident, worker, and visitor is safe in our city.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12020128 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/20250102_AlemanyShooting_GC-9-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coupled with a devastating housing crisis and overdose epidemic, the COVID-19 pandemic ushered in \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11906253/violent-crime-soared-during-the-pandemic-but-does-the-political-debate-reflect-the-data\">spikes in property theft and retail crim\u003c/a>e, putting many voters on edge over the street conditions they witnessed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the last year, however, theft and property crimes, as well as violent crime in San Francisco, have all dropped, according to SFPD data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite those gradual declines, Mayor London Breed \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12005687/sf-homicides-are-on-track-for-60-year-low-why-does-crime-still-dominate-the-discourse\">struggled to reassure residents that safety was improving\u003c/a>, and in November, voters opted for a fresh start with Lurie, an heir to the Levi Strauss fortune with no prior experience in government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yep worked closely with Lurie on the campaign trail and endorsed his run for mayor. In addition to having nearly 28 years with the Police Department, Yep also brings to City Hall his ties to the city’s Asian American communities.

A public defender representing Jones challenged the charges, citing officers’ body-worn camera footage, and a judge dismissed them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would like to hold police accountable for their misconduct, which has caused me a lot of anguish and pain,” Jones said in a statement. “Our police are trained to react with aggression and violence. That erodes trust.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On July 24, about a dozen San Francisco Police Department officers were positioned near the Israeli Consulate in response to a protest happening outside, according to the complaint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8b1O7j6Ql3etNsJsVSb1mct9IBsCUeSx\">Body-worn camera footage\u003c/a> shows officers pulling a person to the ground after suspecting that they had taken a bag of police equipment. Jones, walking with her bicycle toward the officers, shouts at them to stop and leave the person alone. The complaint estimates that Jones never got closer than 30 to 40 feet from that arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12017456 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/12/475371681_qed-1020x681.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officer Jasmine Williams then approaches Jones and appears to push her with a baton as another officer shouts, “Back up!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m trying to get to my office building. It’s right there!” Jones said, pointing in the direction of the recent arrest where officers had formed a line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Go down Spring, go around,” an officer responds, pointing back in the direction she came from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another person is seen standing nearby and then walking in the direction Jones meant to go without being stopped by police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams continues to press her baton against Jones and, along with another officer, obstructs her path.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zac Dillon, a senior law and policy analyst with the public defender’s office, said this is where the officers failed to de-escalate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The core elements of de-escalation are time and distance,” Dillon said. “And both of those were taken away in this situation by getting closer and hemming her in closer to the building, essentially corralling her up against the wall.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The footage shows Jones, appearing increasingly distressed, beginning to yell for help and waving her arm above her head. She tries to move left and right to get around the officers, but Williams stays directly in front of her with her arm pushing Jones. Williams repeatedly said, “Get out of my face.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Jones brings her arm down, it seems to land on Williams’ helmet, and the footage shows Williams’ head briefly getting pulled with it. The officers then pull Jones to the ground, pin her and handcuff her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the public defender’s office’s complaint, officers described that moment in their reports as Jones violently yanking at Williams’ helmet, but the complaint said it was nothing more than incidental contact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams also accused Jones of reaching for her neck, although that isn’t apparent in the footage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several officers failed to document the repeated force Williams used against Jones before that moment, according to the complaint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They were dressed for violence. They were dressed for confrontations. They were out there in their riot gear, and so I think they see threats where there aren’t necessarily threats … so they’re more inclined to escalate,” Dillon said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that a complaint has been filed, the Department of Police Accountability will likely review the footage, conduct interviews and make a decision within about nine months to a year, according to Dillon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could mean deciding the police were either in the right or violated policy — in which case the department would recommend disciplinary action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If they do find a policy violation, then it would be referred to either the chief for meting out discipline if it’s under a certain amount of 10 days suspension, which I imagine it would be in this case,” Dillon said. “In more serious cases, it’s referred directly to the Police Commission, who will then have a sort of mini-trial.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, the San Francisco Police Department said it is unable to talk about open investigations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

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.

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.

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.

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. San Francisco’s numbers of both lower-value shoplifting and commercial burglary, which applies to merchandise totaling more than $950, were higher in 2023 than in 2019, which already represented an increase from five years earlier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pandemic posed challenges across the criminal justice system as well as for the service providers that many low-income people relied on. The number of police officers decreased, and the volatility of the world itself played a part — people had more time on their hands, for one thing, Stanford professor and criminal justice expert Keith Humphreys told KQED in July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the increase in retail theft in San Francisco through 2023 was less stark than in other urban areas of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s actually encouraging. It’s still up [in 2023], retail theft, in San Francisco compared to pre-pandemic level, but it’s not up by nearly as much as you’re seeing in some areas,” Lofstrom said. “I understand that that’s not particularly comforting, but it’s up by about 12%, and we’re seeing some areas of L.A. and other parts of the Bay Area that have seen much bigger increases in retail theft.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11996211 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/SFPoliceChief2024-1020x701.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between 2019 and 2023, this type of theft rose overall statewide, going up 70% in Sacramento County, 65% in Alameda County, 41% in San Mateo County, and 40% in Los Angeles County, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/blog/commercial-burglaries-fell-in-2023-but-shoplifting-continued-to-rise/\">research published by the PPIC\u003c/a> in August. However, last year’s data showed a decline in commercial burglary compared to 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, authorities have \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11996211/san-francisco-crime-is-down-significantly-but-its-not-clear-trend-will-last\">touted figures that show a declining crime rate\u003c/a>; at a July meeting of the Police Commission, SFPD Chief Bill Scott said property crime — including larceny, which retail theft falls under — in particular, was “the reason that we have such a significant drop in overall crime.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as Safaí said during Thursday’s debate: “Go tell that to the small businesses in my district [that] for the last three weeks have literally been broken into almost every night between 1 and 5 a.m. Tell that to the … hotel worker — 42 years of work for the Westin St. Francis — [who] was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11993189/suspect-in-bart-killing-is-in-hospital-misses-court-appearance\">pushed into a moving train\u003c/a> on a BART platform.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After increases in both violent and nonviolent crimes in 2021 and 2022, and bearing in mind that data can fluctuate quickly, Lofstrom said it could take time for public perception to match the more recent trends in the data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It takes a little bit of time before we have confidence that public safety is really improving,” he told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

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. San Francisco’s numbers of both lower-value shoplifting and commercial burglary, which applies to merchandise totaling more than $950, were higher in 2023 than in 2019, which already represented an increase from five years earlier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pandemic posed challenges across the criminal justice system as well as for the service providers that many low-income people relied on. The number of police officers decreased, and the volatility of the world itself played a part — people had more time on their hands, for one thing, Stanford professor and criminal justice expert Keith Humphreys told KQED in July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the increase in retail theft in San Francisco through 2023 was less stark than in other urban areas of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s actually encouraging. It’s still up [in 2023], retail theft, in San Francisco compared to pre-pandemic level, but it’s not up by nearly as much as you’re seeing in some areas,” Lofstrom said. “I understand that that’s not particularly comforting, but it’s up by about 12%, and we’re seeing some areas of L.A. and other parts of the Bay Area that have seen much bigger increases in retail theft.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
