The Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) will be accepting applications for the Executive Development Course (EDC). EDC is the last in a series of professional development programs offered by POST and is intended to enhance the leadership potential and capabilities of law enforcement executives. EDC addresses a broad range of contemporary topics, issues, and trends relevant to the law enforcement executive. EDC is an 80-hour course conducted in two separate one-week sessions. EDC is a tuition free, reimbursable POST Plan IV program.

The purpose of this notice is to inform Members that The Neighborhood Safety Team (NST) is a unit within the Community Engagement Division (CED) and will assume the duties and responsibilities of the former SF Safe Inc.

The NST will focus on crime prevention and safety awareness within our communities. With the help of residents, community groups, and other city agencies we are striving to create safe and vibrant neighborhoods to live, work and play in San Francisco.

The purpose of this Department Notice is to advise members ofAB 2746 (Sept. 2022) and of the changes to the Vehicle Code that became effective January 1, 2023, as they relate to the charging of Section 12500(a), Driving without a License.

AB 2756 added Section 40000.10 to the Vehicle Code and amended and renumbered Section 40000.11 to re-classify Section 12500(a) as follows:

All work-related injuries and illnesses requiring medical attention shall be reported to the Medical Liaison Unit. The required forms, available in the SFPD Forms folder, must be completed whenever professional medical care is necessary for an occupational injury or illness, toxic/infectious exposure or needle stick.

On Tuesday June 11, 2024 at 10:00am PST, access to the Evidence.com system that manages digital evidence collection will be re-directed through the MyApps portal redacted.

This change is part of a bigger SFPD initiative; the Identity and Access Management Single Sign On (IAM SSO) project. The objective of this project is to consolidate and standardize access to all SFPD systems by using one user ID and password.

The Department's procedure for towing vehicles for CSI processing:

There has been an increase in the use of electrically powered alternative transportation, such as electric bicycles and scooters. With this increase comes theft, recovery, and loss. Since these devices can transport an individual without human power, the Department of Justice (DOJ) considers these transportation devices as vehicles. The DOJ defines vehicles to include electrically powered and assisted bicycles, wheelchairs, scooters, skateboards, hoverboards and electric personal assistive mobility devices (EPAMD) such as a Segway.

The purpose of this notice is to announce the introduction of Department General Order 9. 07 Restricting the Use of Pretext Stops, adopted by the Police Commission on March 7, 2024. The Police Commission agreed to a 90-business day implementation period and therefore, this policy becomes effective on July 17, 2024.

There will be training provided through PowerDMS that addresses the various aspects of this policy in greater detail.

The San Francisco Police Department and the California Department of Justice have collaborated in transitioning all of SFPD's California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS) testing from AO/CPT to an online testing system called nexTEST.

I am pleased to present to you a NIBRS RMS informational video which covers what NIBRS is, some changes you can expect with the new RMS that will replace CDW, and its impact to SFPD and our San Francisco community.

NIBRS Certification is issued by the State when an agency meets both FBI and California DOJ reporting requirements.

NIBRS = National Incident-Based Reporting System
CIBRS = California Incident-Based Reporting System
RMS = Records Management System
