Title: San Francisco Police Department: Addressing Crime and Disorder on the Municipal Railway: A Case Study on Data-Driven Policing in the Ingleside District

Summary: This case study illustrates how the Ingleside Police District used City data sets and a problem solving approach to address crime and disorder on the San Francisco Municipal Railway (Muni). The public, elected officials, and transit operators expressed increasing concern about crime, disorderly conduct, and the lack of police visibility on Muni. The Ingleside Police District, selected to implement recommendations from recent studies of the SFPD, applied a problem solving approach to crime and disorder on Muni. The Ingleside District sought data and information from multiple sources including survey data and Muni operator security reports, resulting in a better understanding of the problem and an informed response. The outcome of this problem solving effort and analysis was the strategic deployment of police on the most problematic Muni routes, intersections and times of day. The Ingleside Police District also employed new tactics such as fare inspections while patrolling transit vehicles. The District followed-up its response with continued assessment of progress. While it is too early to assess the long-term impact, early results are promising. This new approach that started in the Ingleside is now used citywide and transformed the SFPD's long standing efforts to address crime on Muni. The Ingleside implementation took place over a seven-month period, resulting in changes to the Ingleside's organizational structure, staffing, training, and programs to support community engagement and problem solving. Several of the changes initiated in the Ingleside District, including data-driven police deployment on Muni, have been implemented citywide.
