In june of 2018, almost a year ago, the budget and legislative analysis analyst provided the board with a performance audit of the San Francisco Police Department so we could better understand, number one, how to put the police are deploying police staff, that is funded by the general fund, and number two , how uniform staff is allocated to administrative versus patrol duties. One major finding and recommendation of that audit was that in light of an increase in property crime in our city, with public demand for more officers on the street, the San Francisco Police Department should put as many administrative positions in as possible. This is best practice is recognized by major Law Enforcement associations including the International Association of chiefs of police and adopted by most major Law Enforcement departments in the country, but San Franciscos ratio of sworn officers to civilian staff remains higher than the National Average over its peers.
