READ MORE:Chief Scott acknowledged progress in some areas and wide disparities in others.
SFPD data showed people were ten times as likely to be searched by its officers than white people in 2021, and more likely to have force used against them by SFPD. Though the numbers showed wide gaps in some of these categories, they also demonstrated that use of force cases within SFPD dropped by 59 percent since 2016, and over the last three years SFPD officers have stopped black people less often.Chief Scott said the department is still working on completing some of the 272 recommendations from the DOJ, but was pressed by several of the supervisors about the ongoing disparities.
“Some of these I think you will see over time. We are going in the right direction, in my opinion, but there is certainly more to do,” Scott said.The California Attorney General’s office is reviewing SFPD’s progress on the reforms…and Chief Scott says much of the work is still ongoing, including reforming the department’s use of force policy and recruiting practices.Sara Donchey has returned to where it all began.
