The "Stop Made in Response To" field has a term that has potential to cause confusion for our members. The term "On-View" is being changed to "Required Action".

Required Action should be selected when a stop is made by a member for a felony crime in progress, misdemeanor crime of violence, misdemeanor property crime, or misdemeanor where a member can articulate a threat to public safety (reckless driving, driving under the influence), member of the public alerting them to an incident, or a person is in medical distress (physical or psychological).

This purpose of this notice is to provide guidance for members when enforcing San Francisco Police Code Article 43, section 4304. Article 43 which expressly prohibits following or harassing any person within 25 feet of the entrance of a reproductive health care facility provided that the health care facility has complied with certain procedures.

Section 4302 - Definitions.
