On September 1st, 2017, the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) re-assigned 69 officers (roughly 3.5 percent of sworn officers in the department) to various foot patrol assignments across the city's ten police districts. We use microlevel data on criminal incidents to generate daily counts of crime by broad category for the ten most frequently reported offenses (accounting for over 90 percent of incidents reported to the police) for the 120-day period surrounding the September 1st policy change. We conduct an event study analysis to test for a discrete change in the daily level of criminal incidents coinciding in time with the reallocation of police officers. We document discrete and statistically significant declines in the daily number of larceny thefts and assaults reported to the police coinciding with the increase in the number of officers assigned to foot beats. We show that the observed declines are not evident for comparable time periods in earlier years. The decline in larceny theft is geographically broad-based across police districts within the city while the decline in assaults is concentrated in a few districts. We do not observe larger crime declines (either in absolute terms or proportional to pre-change crime levels) in districts that experienced greater increases in foot-beat assignments.

Author: Oregon. Department of Corrections Title: Managing Mental Illness in Prison Task Force Summary: Executive Summary The 2004 DOC Managing Mental Illness in Prison (MMIP) Task Force has prepared a report that identifies issues of concern in DOC’s mental health system, additional findings, and offers numerous recommendations to reflect a comprehensive approach to mental health treatment programming. This includes change in systems, procedures, policy and rules to work more effectively with DOC’s population inmates with mental illness. Primary Recommendation: This Summary examines the overarching recommendation to structure the DOC Mental Health service delivery model to meet the needs of inmates with mental illness, rather than being driven by facilities or infrastructure. The MMIP Task Force reviewed the September 2004 Governor’s Mental Health Task Force report and has aligned with their recommendation, “the Department of Corrections, OMHAS, the PSRB, and representatives of local law enforcement and mental health authorities must evaluate the possibility of creating a single forensic mental health facility to house and provide integrated services to individuals who cannot safely be treated in community settings." This recommendation is consistent with the service delivery model the Task Force proposed in this report. Other recommendations in this Task Force report relate to: - Inmate housing assignments - Increased availability for Mental Health services - Improved internal communications - Intake mental health assessments - Oregon Medicaid eligibility - Improved systems through automation - DOC staff training relative to mental health services - Change in policy and rules - Bazelon Center model law strategies - Recruitment and retention of health professionals - Clinical, cultural and gender competence - Suicide prevention Details: Salem, Oregon: Oregon Department of Corrections, 2004. 72p.
