More DescriptionThe Panel was established as an advisory body to the San Francisco District Attorney in May 2015 in the wake of revelations that 14 San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) officers had exchanged numerous racist and homophobic messages.

Contents: Stops, Searches, and Arrests; Personnel; Use of Force and Officer-Involved Shootings; Internal Discipline; External Oversight; "Brady" Policies and Practices; Culture; Crime Data; Findings and Recommendations. This is a print on demand report.
