The Mayor, Police Chief and Police Commission expressed concerns about the SFC report that the African American arrest rate in San Francisco was two to four times higher than the corresponding rates in other large California cities. I was asked to assist the City by completing the following tasks: • Conduct briefings with a group of community stakeholders and with a group of police personnel in which I would present a framework for ongoing discussions in the city about fair and impartial policing. • Review and comment on the information presented in the SFC regarding the high African American arrest rate and review and comment on a subsequent article on officer compliance with the vehicle stop data collection program of the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD). • Conduct a preliminary review of the efforts on the part of the SFPD to promote fair and impartial policing. These tasks culminate in this report that summarizes my reviews above and sets forth a plan for the city of San Francisco that would facilitate full fair and impartial policing. Following the introduction of the report, I provide in Section II, a framework for discussing and thinking about fair and impartial policing. I address the various ways that racially biased policing might manifest, the nature of the national discussion, the challenge of measuring racial bias in policing, and the elements of a comprehensive response to achieve fair and impartial policing. In Sections III and IV, I comment on the two articles published by the San Francisco Chronicle. Section III discusses the article published on 12/17/2006 that reported that San Francisco had the highest rate of African American arrests (relative to residential population) compared to seven other large California cities. Section IV discusses the article published on 3/7/2007 regarding the vehicle stop data collected by the SFPD in an effort to measure racial bias. Section V contains my recommendations for the City and the Police Department. In that section I provide a rationale for the direction I propose for the City and SFPD, recommend a structure/process for implementation, and then present a series of recommendations using as a framework the elements of a comprehensive program for achieving fair and impartial policing."
