Catherine McGuire, executive director of the Strategic Management Bureau, said the department published a stops dashboard on the department website and plans to add use-of-force and arrests dashboards. Captain Sean Frost described the new benchmarks: the existing census benchmark (using American Community Survey residential data), a risk-adjusted disparity index (RAD, which compares stop contacts to violent-crime victimization risk by race), a suspect-adjusted disparity index (SAD, which compares stops to reported suspect demographics) and a traffic analytic method that uses not-at-fault collision drivers as a proxy for the driving population.

Frost said the department ran the RAD and SAD analyses for six quarters of stop data. He summarized preliminary findings: the RAD comparison of Black to White populations was near parity across the period analyzed; RAD suggested Hispanics were stopped less frequently than their risk of violent-crime victimization would predict; SAD suggested Black and Hispanic populations were underrepresented in stops relative to the race of reported violent-crime suspects. The department posted code and details online and said the QUADAR (quarterly activity and data report) includes a fuller explanation.

Commissioners and public commenters raised concerns about data quality. Commissioner Benedicto reminded the commission of a DPA audit that identified discrepancies between dispatch records and stop data entries; department staff said the particular errors identified in that audit did not affect racial-demographic counts used in the new benchmarks and that the department’s error rate for the relevant fields had dropped below 5%. Director Henderson and DPA staff said additional audits and improvements remain ongoing and that more detailed validations are part of an evolving process.

Department staff emphasized that no single benchmark is definitive and that the new measures are intended to supplement, not replace, the census benchmark. They said the expanded set of metrics is meant to give the public and the department more context when interpreting stop statistics and to help inform future policy and accountability work.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of San Francisco - Video Open Video Only in Windows Media Player - Jun 11, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","SFPD unveiled a new live stops dashboard and a set of supplemental disparity benchmarks — risk-adjusted, suspect-adjusted and traffic-analytics — on June 11, and said the methods are intended to add context to, not replace, the census benchmark.","taxTitle","San Francisco City, San Francisco County, California","taxId",5751,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6545293,"DPA director: complaints up year to date; office preparing to defend four staff cuts at budget hearing",296,3319000,3615000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3779561-b336d94f6ba2e51773d7b0527d2635fa&start=3319&end=3615","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3779561-b336d94f6ba2e51773d7b0527d2635fa/thumbnail_3319000.jpg","/articles/6545293/San-Francisco-City/San-Francisco-County/California/DPA-director-complaints-up-year-to-date-office-preparing-to-defend-four-staff-cuts-at-budget-hearing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6545293-0c2f55c7e4d06cbf718914cb3028b24a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440080&Signature=Czh51~J2CJlTf538h5uhnPnJ-3n0E~ptKv3ICaRs40TU7kEY~Vr73sgW~J8aHkywfg3vn4lp1AIRIgiMdhDG7WMcXuhrsSJdO-tQqv425igxQEXDCT9~BEaGdeSckXle2w2Vfur5BDUl4cR9SKjfNfg15e5BYMHx6Cq9eZG9UrDyKlPTW3TrrC49EUfDrFCP8yOea7oq0yc4TDvDdgrWPgCT50jt8cFm0dTUnt8agJPI7L6HbHPSCv9uifaiwkGEkWj-1ixmS0rFx2aJohtGAko2b4WeYHnZuuilLi2kQGZujL4otmelkgVxs6r5SM9PWNAbwG32Juk97O5ajqur7w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Paul Henderson, executive director of the Department of Police Accountability, gave a weekly director’s report on June 11 and told the Police Commission that complaints remain significantly higher year to date than the same period last year and that pending caseload is consistent with last year’s levels.

Henderson said three investigations had exceeded a 270-day review window but that all three would be resolved in the week of the commission meeting. He said the DPA had scheduled a budget and appropriations hearing for the coming Friday and was preparing to defend the department’s budget.

Henderson told commissioners the mayor’s office had instructed cuts that would eliminate four positions overall; he said one of those positions was associated with the sheriff’s office and three were within DPA. He characterized the change as “a little over 10%” of the department’s personnel and said the positions to be cut were specified by direction from the city (not left entirely to DPA leadership). He said the department was focusing on core operations as it prepared for the hearing.

Henderson also noted an ongoing use-of-force audit and said the DPA had recently distributed a survey to SFPD supervisors to incorporate their insights; the survey closed June 16 and, he said, would be incorporated into the audit’s findings. He provided the DPA contact information for public questions and said the full report was filed with the commission.","Paul Henderson, executive director of San Francisco’s Department of Police Accountability, told commissioners the DPA has more complaints year to date than last year and faces instructions to eliminate four positions — a reduction he said equals just over 10% of staff — ahead of a budget hearing.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6545296,"Acting SFPD chief reports arrests, uses of force and drone deployment during recent protests; department reiterates sanctuary-city policy",368,1415000,1783000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3779561-b336d94f6ba2e51773d7b0527d2635fa&start=1415&end=1783","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3779561-b336d94f6ba2e51773d7b0527d2635fa/thumbnail_1415000.jpg","/articles/6545296/San-Francisco-City/San-Francisco-County/California/Acting-SFPD-chief-reports-arrests-uses-of-force-and-drone-deployment-during-recent-protests-department-reiterates-sanctuary-city-policy","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6545296-89c9477c657d30d3f3ee1b4f2aa3cc65/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440080&Signature=fSRffiuYtJDdTQQlgW2OuT3xvWJh2Zr8Y4wi5dQ~2OmAkcFjQ4krh-Zb1fqKzxX9JR1kAyvBah1ECGIjijz7lN1K1r84Zqu~mPZc51RN7Fc3fimNBZw4Dr~1FX7dC60h1-TEdHwy5RXZ5wrpXF572Wkik5uinItDz2GkXB6bWiO-Y3w9ZJHxPiew6u8gjtqS4aEjZiY1ikCt2tohvlTYDtqvK4ds9pICVyilgXdbd1sjl8mPP3IG8h9jKpWcE1-QNUluprTXZGg9-WWVh4ob~1dLN0TPgLoKik-804ZOS4acCG2zyxTccQ6VpseFP~1P1isl52-tgtTp9it0wcgWcQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Acting Chief Paul Yip briefed the San Francisco Police Commission on June 11 about crime trends from June 2–8 and the department’s response to protest activity that followed national demonstrations.

Yip reported year-to-date declines in several categories: homicides down 23%, burglaries down 23%, motor vehicle thefts down 43% and overall crime down 27%. He said there were no homicides in the reporting week and described an earlier shooting on June 6 that produced two injured victims. He also reported a traffic collision fatality on June 2 on Geary Boulevard at Second Avenue in the Richmond District, in which a pedestrian pushing a wheelchair was struck and later died; that incident was under investigation.

On protest-related responses, Yip said the department recorded “9 uses of force” on the first day and “11” on a subsequent day — 20 total — characterized in his briefing as baton strikes and physical force (using officers’ bodies). He said he did not have information at the meeting about the use of weapons or discharges. The department reported approximately 155 arrests on June 8 (154 cited and released; six of those were juveniles aged 14–17) and about 92 arrests on June 9 (about 89 cited and released; three were booked, including one for warrants and one for threats). Yip said SFPD drones were deployed on both days after “obvious criminal activity” was observed, but he did not have deployment-duration figures available at the briefing and agreed to follow up with a timeline.

Yip told commissioners the department had coordinated with city partners, deployed assets on short notice and would review allegations raised by the First Amendment Coalition and the Society of Professional Journalists of Northern California regarding media access and reporting. “We honor and respect the freedom of the press,” he said, and added the department would review body-worn camera footage and other materials as part of investigations. Commissioners asked for and received a commitment to follow up with additional detail about uses of force, arrests, the timing of drone deployments and any disciplinary or investigative findings.

Commissioners and the acting chief discussed the department’s longstanding city policy on immigration enforcement. Yip said SFPD would follow city policy and state law: local officers are generally prohibited from assisting federal immigration enforcement except where required by law. He also thanked rank-and-file officers and other city agencies, including the sheriff’s and fire departments, for coordination during the protests.

Commissioners requested a comprehensive review and public presentation later in the summer that would include a breakdown of uses of force, arrests, drone usage and a response to the June 11 letter from press organizations. The commission indicated it planned to agendize a report once investigations and reviews provided more detail.","Acting Chief Paul Yip told the Police Commission that overall crime is down year to date but described recent protest-related activity that included reported uses of force, hundreds of arrests and drone deployment.

The recognition followed a presentation from Tenderloin Station officers describing how, as she returned from work, Cleverly Valencia saw a man lying on the ground at the unit block of Ninth Street after multiple gunshot wounds. According to Sergeant Coleman, she ran into traffic to reach the victim, removed her sweater and applied direct pressure to the victim’s facial wound until San Francisco Fire Department medics and SFPD arrived. Acting Chief Paul Yip and a treating physician, identified in the meeting as Dr. Kornbliff, told the commission that the victim survived and that the nurse’s immediate actions “absolutely” helped save his life.

Sergeant Coleman described the scene and the officers’ decision to ask the commission to recognize Cleverly Valencia’s actions, saying the response team considered her conduct “incredibly professional” under dangerous conditions. Sergeant Wells told the commission he had not seen a comparable act of bystander aid in his 22 years of service and called her “a credit to her profession and the citizens of San Francisco.” Acting Chief Yip thanked her on behalf of the department and noted the incident highlighted the role of community members in public safety.

Commissioners praised Cleverly Valencia during the public presentation and award ceremony. Commissioner Benedicto called the act “truly an act of heroism.” Several commissioners referenced video of the incident and expressed gratitude to the nurse and her family. Tenderloin Station also presented Cleverly Valencia with a station sweatshirt to replace the garment she had used at the scene.

Cleverly Valencia addressed the commission, saying the recognition was unexpected and that the incident deepened her appreciation for the daily work of SFPD officers and first responders. The commission allowed a brief public comment period following the recognition in which two speakers thanked her, one identifying themselves as a mother who had lost a child to homicide and expressing personal gratitude.

The presentation and award were an acknowledgment from the department and police commissioners of a civilian’s role in providing emergency care during an active crime scene and intended to highlight community involvement in public safety.","The San Francisco Police Department recognized Carissa Cleverly Valencia, a UCSF registered nurse, for applying emergency first aid at the scene of a January 27 shooting on Ninth Street that officers said likely saved a victim’s life.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_47":116,"_49":117,"_51":118,"_53":119,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":120,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":121,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6545285,"Police Commission elects new officers, approves consent items and votes to hold closed session",28,9905000,9933000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3779561-b336d94f6ba2e51773d7b0527d2635fa&start=9905&end=9933","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3779561-b336d94f6ba2e51773d7b0527d2635fa/thumbnail_9905000.jpg","/articles/6545285/San-Francisco-City/San-Francisco-County/California/Police-Commission-elects-new-officers-approves-consent-items-and-votes-to-hold-closed-session","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6545285-5829d792e007c6d423c3d20bb7c96cc1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440080&Signature=C-I~lrCSicZ2Nu35FTjAk94ZIfTCyN-JQg0nvxwOsgH2xypRduj2e0JPfBMRo0RVfjFqTJoKOXotR2AcW23pYc28~oir2-qzCxLuqGdjzZcHYpyFgPwl35I--LkZTDS-b5SNpqss7LrlpMuSL6yWfpLdZ7UfAQ0xBNVYEjjp8H5y1pHS0HAwnRzrdXt~GaNG6yjE~LSA7PZk1Ge0vspcAY75AQGATX0QADpy7r-HWBlCCrmVP7CNqLu338Ivch1NCg91P5T-OhUcBi~oQ0-z7FVdJAAh7-AuwQNK-vITsPL7TNPZPUYZYQEvJtS2bGEg0OmV4LhchUuTe88C4KwtiQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Francisco Police Commission conducted several formal actions on June 11, including receiving a monthly report, electing commission officers and voting to move into closed session.
