Pursuant to and consistent with Penal Code Section 13519.8, Vehicle Code Section 17004.7, and the guidelines established in POST Regulation 1081(a) (22), the Department will train its officers annually in emergency response and pursuit driving.

Field Interview (“FI”) reports are an invaluable investigative tool used to document observations, consensual encounters, detentions, and arrests that may potentially benefit current or future investigations. This tool allows the connection of criminal associations and individual activity by documenting locations, vehicles, and other pieces of evidence that may be relevant to criminal investigations.

Repartee Follow-Up Form ("SFPD 105 form") and Department issued business cards are designed to improve communication and interaction with community members and provide information to victims and repartees about the investigatory follow-up process.

Members should provide an SFPD 105 form in the appropriate language (English, Spanish, Chinese, Russian and Tagalog) to anyone making an incident report; when requested from a witness; or whenever email correspondence might aid an investigation.
