Giraudo President The Police Commission City & County of San Francisco Frank Jordan Chief of Police Pius Lee Commissioner EdwardJ. Campana Commissioner Annual Report 1989-1990 Dear Mayor Agnos: Pursuant to Charter Section 3.500, the Police Commission hereby forwards for your review and consideration the San Francisco Police Department Annual Report, Fiscal Year 1989-90. In addition to mandated statistics, the Report describes significant developments within the Department, such as the organization of new units, facilities remodeling, and special efforts taken to reduce crime. We are confident that this year's Report represents the forward moving direction the Department continues to take during this third year of your administration. ~~~ Lout~udo President San Francisco Police Commission Annual Report 1989-1990 3 Chiefs Message San Francisco is a 45 square-mile city located on the northern tip of a peninsula surrounded by San Francisco Bay, the Golden Gate, and the Pacific Ocean. Its form of government is a combined City and County administration. The Department provides law enforcement and traffic services to a resident population of 700,000 that expands to over 1 million through the daily influx of commuters and visitors. The City is divided into nine neighborhood police districts, each with its own police station. All other functions of the Department, with the exception of the Police Academy, Juvenile Division, and the Police Range, are centralized at the Hall of Justice in downtown San Francisco. Reorganization To promote better accountability and discipline, I have effected one of the most comprehensive reorganizations in the Department's history. This reorganization was enacted to ensure a tighter span of control, clearer lines of responsibility and improved accountability. The new structure is consistent with the organization of most large police departments nationwide. To free myself of time-consuming administrative duties, I have created the Chief of Staff position to oversee the daily paperwork, and promoted Deputy Chief Willis Casey to Assistant Chief . This allows me more time for hands-on oversight and visibility in the field. Responsibility for the nine District Stations is now evenly split under three new Patrol Divisions, headed by separate Commanders under the supervision of Deputy Chief Fred Lau. I 4 Intelli,encc Fiscal Planning Administrative Bmeau Chief of Police Chief of . Staff Bmeauof Inspectors Commmity Service, Public; Affair, Tnimng Field Operations Bmeau HQCompmy have placed Deputy Chief Reed in charge of an expanded Bureau of Inspectors, including a consolidated and strengthened Narcotics Division. I have consolidated all of the Department's internal investigations, including legal claims, disciplinary cases, and citizen complaints, within the Administrative Bureau under Deputy Chief Larry Gurnett This new organization,.made with the approval of the Police Commission, ensures better police management of major events by placing both the planning and execution of them under one · special Events Commander who will also be present to oversee the operation. New Facilities In continuation of the $28 million, voter-approved Proposition A bond issue, contruction has commenced on the new Police Range, and renovations to Ingleside and Richmond District stations were begun. Additionally, two new kobans (police kiosks) were constructed, and our Photo Lab was remodeled to improve efficiency and working conditions. October 17th Earthquake On October 17, 1989 at 5:04 pm, an earthquake of 7 .1 magnitude struck the San Francisco area. Most heavily damaged were the South of Market area and the Marina district. Massive fires broke out in the Marina and several buildings collapsed. Over one hundred police officers were on duty at Candlestick Park to manage a crowd of more than 62,000 patrons awaiting the start of third game of the 1989 World Series. Within minutes of the quake, all essential units in the Police Department were mobilized. Off-duty officers were recalled and placed on twelve-hour shifts. Four command posts were established, and for the next six days, all assigned officers undertook the arduous task of helping the City get back on its feet A special citation, showing the Ferry Building clock tower with its now;.famous earthquake-damaged flagpole, was prepared and awarded by me to these officers for their exemplary performance. (Because of the magnitude of this event, I determined a special report was warranted to describe the details of the event and our Department's response to it. This report was issued separately by Planning Division shortly after the earthquake. The description above is only a brief summary of that report.) - Frank M. Jordan Chief of Police Annual Report 1989-1990 Chiefs Office Intelligence Division The Intelligence Division is the information-gathering arm of the Department. It provides intelligence information to units throughout the Department and conducts diverse operations through its Criminal Intelligence Analysis, Dignitary Protection, Gang Task Force, Organized Crime, and Special Investigations sections. Gang Task Force The Gang Task Force is unique to law enforcement and has been widely recognized for its expertise and investigative capability in criminal gang activities. The Task Force monitors gang activities locally and throughout the United States. Special Investigations This unit is responsible for the investigation of bombings and bomb threats, criminal extremist groups, cult and occult crime, and prison gang activities. Intelligence Chief of Police Chief of Staff Community Services Community Services Division Crime Prevention Public Affairs The function of Crime Prevention is to reduce victimization through lectures, demonstration and dissemination of printed materials to neighborhood groups, organizations, and individuals. The unit also inspects commercial and residential property to offer suggestions that will enable owners or operators to improve their security. Drug Education The focus of this unit is to educate students in both public and private schools in the first through fifth grades regarding substance abuse prevention and narcotics education. Representatives attend meetings to present information on substance abuse to parent groups, associations, religious groups, businesses and communities. Members also provide training to school teachers on integrating substance abuse and narcotics education into their curriculums. Annual Report 1989-1990 Senior Escort This unit exclusively serves people 60 years and older. A crime prevention worker escorts seniors to medical appointments by use of public transportation, taxi cabs, or senior escort vans. A new, uniformed component now provides walking patrols in high-risk areas of the City. This patrol provides escorts, presents crime prevention material and performs outreach to seniors. Community Relations Community Relations serves as a liaison between the police and the community. Representatives mediate, arbitrate, and attempt to resolve ongoing disputes that generate repeated calls for police services. They provide training on subjects ranging from community awareness to the Ralph Act (Hate Crimes). They also attend community meetings to encourage ongoing dialogue and exchange pertinent information that may affect the community and the police. Officers provide police services to residents of designated public housing developments. Offices are staffed a minimum of eight hours a week at each location. Youth Wilderness Program Since 1981, the Wilderness Adventure Youth Program has provided the opportunity for over 7,000 San Francisco boys and girls to share challenging and cooperative activities with SFPD officers. Many of these have not experienced outdoor adventure away from the City. This program offers backpacking trips, adventure rope courses, rock-climbing, and river rafting. Participants quickly develop determination, self-confidence, and respect for others while having a lot of good old-fashioned fun. Police Youth Fishing Program Begun in 1968, about 3,000 youngsters are given the opportunity to go salmon or trout fishing each summer. Each trip is accompanied by a uniformed officer who provides guidance and expertise. Public Affairs Public Affairs receives inquiries regarding criminal investigations, assists the media in special police-related projects, and acts as liaison between the Department and the media. The unit screens media requests for interviews with the Chief of Police, announces press conferences for the Chief, and processes the various awards presented by civic groups to police officers. Press passes and media parking permits are issued by this office for membets of the press covering late-breaking news stories. Officers in this unit respond to critical incidents, such as hostage situations, snipings, and violent demonstrations, to assist the commander at the scene in managing media relations. 5 Chief of Staff Fiscal Division The Fiscal Division consists of three sections: Accounting, Audit, and Budget. Accounting Accounting monitors all expenditures, and alerts management to anticipated shortfalls and surpluses so that appropriate transfers can be effected. Budget Budget is responsible for preparing and presenting the Department's $190 million budget. This unit ensures that cost-and-benefit analyses are made on a variety of funding scenarios, _ and that the budget turnarounds from City Hall are accurate and adequate to support approved programs. Audit Audit conducts fiscal and administrative analyses to maintain the integrity of expenditure policies and procedures. During the past year, Audit took an active role in the administration of the Special Law Enforcement Services Program (SLES). SLES provides officers for overtime assignments that are funded by private-sector organizations, such as the SF Giants, SF 49ers, and various movie companies and construction firms. Audit developed policies, procedures and tracking formats to ensure that all officers wishing to participate had an equal opportunity to do so. During the year, 515 officers were paid a total of $1,712,000 for SLES overtime. Recently, Audit refined the accounts receivable system and developed an automated payroll system to allow the Department to pay officers more promptly. Audit also developed the necessary procedures to bill convicted DUI's (Drivers Under the Influence of drugs or alcohol) for the time our officers spent handling their cases.

Training I Field Operations Bureau Annual Report 1989-1990 Planning Division Planning manages the Department's construction projects, maintains facilities, conducts management audits, prepares long-term and short-term policy evaluations, writes and prints publications, and conducts crime analysis. The Division consists of Architectural Design, Facilities Management, qperations Development, Written Directives, Crime Analysis and the Print Shop. Architectural Design Architectural Design consists of architects and architectural assistants from the Bureau of Architecture. Under direction of the Commanding Officer, Planning Division, they design and construct new facilities, as well as making alterations, repairs, and improvements to existing facilities. Work continues on the renovation or rebuilding of police facilities allowed by the passage of a $28 million bond issue in 1987. Schematic designs have been created for Taraval and Potrero (to be renamed Bayview) stations. With the already completed Northern Station, these stations will constitute a "seismic triangle,,, permitting continued police operations in case of major disaster. Work on the rebuilding of the Pistol Range progressed steadily, with completion scheduled for May 1991. Architectural Design completed Photo Lab renovations and designed and built two kobans (streetside police kiosks), one at 16th and Mission streets and the other in Union Square. Facilities Maintenance and Planning This section coordinates all capital improvements, repairs, and general maintenance of police facilities. It also manages telecommunications for the Department and other agencies within the City's criminal justice system. Operations Development Section This section monitors infectious disease control, oversees uniform and equipment modification, responds to outside survey requests, and manages the Print Shop, preparing over 200 Department forms, written directives, and training and recruiting materials annually. This year, members researched and produced a special report on the October 17, 1989 earthquake. Annual Report 1989-1990 Staff Inspection Unit This unit has been in existence since 1971 and had.been staffed by one member. In July, 1989 the Unit was expanded to its present three members. Staff Inspection is augmented by specially detailed auditors who provide their assistance and expertise as needed. Staff Inspections conducts three types of inspections: general inspections, which are comprehensive inspections of police district stations or investigative units; special inspections, which are conducted on specific areas of concern to the Department; and follow-up inspections, which are reviews of corrective actions taken of the deficiencies noted in the general inspection reports. Besides these duties, Staff Inspection also handles other special assignments at the direction of the Chief of Staff. Training Division The Training Division coordinates and delivers all required basic and advanced training required by the State of California Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission (POST). The Division provides all technical training requested through the Department Training Plan. During the past year, 1,749 members attended required training and 596 members participated in technical courses at the Academy or at off-site locations. The Division provides monthly roll call training at each unit and continuous weapons training at the Police Range, and operates the Department's youth outreach programs. The Police Academy, home of the Training Division, was moved in 1986 from an old high school building at the corner of Silver and Revere Streets to its present modern facility atop Diamond Heights. This newer facility is also used for training and meetings by other public agencies and community groups throughout the City. 7 Administrative Bureau Consent Decree Division The Consent Decree Division was created by order of the United States District Court in October 1979 and is responsible for execution of the City's obligations resulting from the settlement of the litigation Officers for Justice, et al., v. City and County of San Francisco, et al. The overall goal of Consent Decree is to integrate the Department at all ranks so that it more accurately reflects the diversity of the city it serves. It operates under the direction of a coordinator, and its activities are subject to the review and approval of a court-appointed Auditor-Monitor and representatives of the litigants. Consent Decree is responsible for the recruitment of entry-level police officer applicants and the development and administration of entry-level and promotional examination selection procedures. It also administers pre-examination training programs and provides recruitment and retention support services and referrals. Now in its eleventh year, the unit's overall accomplishments include the following: 8 Recruited ............ 18,857 qualified applicants Tested ................. 9,730 candidates Hired .................. 1,274 police officers Consent Decree Administrative Bureau Staff' Services Pel'IODDel Medical Liaison Management Control Legal Leaal Services lnveatlptlve Services Staff Services Property Control Taxi Permits Warrants Alarm Ordlnmce Auto Statis Identification Under Consent Decree programs, the Department's minority representation more than doubled from 14% (226) in 1979 to 29.4% (534) in June 1990. The Department's female representation has increased from 4.2% (67) in 1979 to 11.1% (202) in June 1990. In November and December of 1989 Consent Decree administered the Assistant Inspector and Sergeant promotional examinations. The City anticipates making a total of at least 160 appointments to these ranks by the end of July 1990. In March 1990, the unit completed the examination process for the current entry-level police officer eligible list of 322 candidates. Candidates from this list are now members of the 167th academy class which began in June 1990. The unit is planning to administer another entry-level examination in the fall of 1990, and is currently conducting a job analysis for the Police Lieutenant position. Staff Services Division During the past year the Administrative Bureau was reorganized to emphasize unity of command. Staff Services Division was formed to include Personnel, Legal, Management Control, and the Equal Employment office. Personnel Personnel provides the Department with qualified applicants to both civilian and sworn positions at entry and promotive levels. The staff processes appointments, promotions, and separations in accordance with Civil Service and Department procedures. During the past year two classes of recruit officers were appointed. Personnel also provides various additional services to members of the Police Department to assist their fulfillment of a healthy, rewarding career. Backgrounds Investigations This unit conducts investigations of applicants to both sworn and civilian positions. Applicants for the position of Police Officer must pass a pre-employment investigation, which includes a check of prior work experience, a polygraph examination, and psychological screening. Medical Liaison Unit Medical Liaison is staffed by civilian and sworn members, including a full-time Police Physician. This unit monitors Annual Report 1989-1990 members on disability leave, conducts medical examinations, fitness-for-duty evaluations, and limited duty determinations and assignments. Management Control Management Control Division (MCD) has the responsibility of ensuring the integrity of the Department by conducting investigations of allegations of misconduct lodged against Department members. Management Control investigates allegations of misconduct involving both sworn and non-sworn members. The investigation of non-sworn members includes both on and off duty incidents. For every reported incident, MCD must complete a full investigation, and if the allegation is sustained, present the case to the proper authority: a Police Commission hearing, or a hearing before the Chief or civilian hearing officers. MCD also reviews all reports submitted to the Chief by the Office of Citizen's Complaints, and by Commanding Officers requesting disciplinary action involving Department members. During the past year, MCD conducted 135 investigations of alleged misconduct concerning sworn members, 289 investigations concerning non-sworn members, and presented 33 cases to the Police Commission, 158 cases. to the Chief of Police and 45 cases to civilian hearing officers. Equal Employment Opportunity The Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) unit was established pursuant to the enactment of Department General Order D-17 on January 26, 1989. EEO provides administrative support to the Department's Affirmative Action Officer in the prevention of harassment and discrimination in the Department. The unit's duties include: • Training in the prevention of discrimination and harassment for all Department personnel. • Continued development of the Equal Employment Program. • Informal inquiry and assistance, consultation, counseling, referrals and mediation with all members, including supervisory and command officers, regarding equal employment matters. • Formal investigation of cases of suspected discrimination and/or harassment. Annual Report 1989-1990 In the area of training, EEO has provided training in Sexual Harassment and Discrimination to all recruits hired during the fiscal year. The unit provides year-round classes at the Academy for all police officer advanced training, Senior Dispatchers, the Senior Escort Program, and Senior Parking Controllers. Legal Unit Legal provides up-to-date counsel and representation for the Department. It investigates civil claims and lawsuits in order to provide a basis for defense. The unit's counsel helps strengthen departmental procedures and policies, and reduce both the number of claims and suits as well as their financial impact. The unit is divided into three sections: Legal Services, Investigative Services, and Staff Services. Legal Services This unit provides counsel to the Chief of Police, and other units as needed. It presents the Department's case in grievance matters, so as to improve performance and efficiency within the Department. Members also appear in court on motions of discovery for police officer personnel files and oppose those motions which are not in compliance with laws protecting the integrity of those files. The section provides up-to-date legal opinions when required. Investigative Services This unit attempts to reduce the amount of awards for civil claims and lawsuits by thoroughly investigating cases. Once cases are investigated, the unit recommends changes to those departmental procedures found to be faulty and which resulted in judgments against the Department or its members. Staff Services This unit processes official court documents, subpoenas and orders to show-cause, issues Consular Corp identification documents, and attends various meetings on behalf of the Department and the Chief. 9 Administrative Bureau (continued) Support Services Division Permit Section The Permit Section accomplished a variety of objectives during the past year involving noise abatement, license fee collection, and increased enforcement related to permit matters. During the past year, Noise Abatement staff was strengthened. The additional staff allowed night time inspections and investigations, and resulted in enforcement action being taken against problem establishments. Also during the past year the staff of the Permit Section identified permit holders that were delinquent in the payment of their license fees. As a result, the unit received payment of delinquent fees of $30,000 from 2,300 permit holders so identified. During the year, the unit processed over 4,000 applications for permits. Consent Decree 10 Administrative Bureau Staff Services Personnel Backgrounds Medical Liaison Management Control Equal F.mployment Opportunity Legal Legal Services Investigative Services Staff Services Support Services Permits Property Control Psychiatric Liaison Taxi Permits Warrants Teclmical Services Communications AutoStatis Computer Systems Management Identification Records Property Control Section The Property Control Section (PCS) maintains custody and control of booked property, stores and distributes Department equipment and supplies, and manages the motor vehicle fleet. PCS receives 50,000 items per year for storage, destroys over one thousand guns and rifles, conducts auctions for unclaimed property and keeps the Police Department equipped with supplies of paper, forms, books, and other supplies. In addition, PCS distributes and maintains over 800 vehicles, marked and unmarked, including two- and three-wheeled motorcycles. PCS was very much involved in the October 17, 1989 earthquake. Within an hour and a half after the quake, four members were on duty and prepared PCS to assist in the emergency. Over 2,000 barricades were placed throughout the City as traffic barriers and to establish safety areas around hazardous buildings. PCS remained open 24 hours a day for the following three days to respond to requests for equipment and supplies from units in the field dealing with the emergency. Psychiatric Liaison Unit The Psychiatric Liaison Unit (PLU) screens requests from the community for police intervention with mentally ill individuals. This screening has helped divert requests for assistance to agencies more appropriate than police patrol units. Those requests that meet criteria for legal intervention by a police agency are managed by the PLU directly or are dispatched to patrol units. This year, PLU officers successfully resolved numerous incidents, most of which were suicide negotiations and involuntary psychiatric hospitalizations involving deadly weapons. This unit also assisted in many dignitary protection assignments, working together with SFPD Intelligence and the U.S. Secret Service. Most notably among these assignments were the visits of President Bush, President Gorbachev and the Soviet Ministers, Vice-President Dan Quayle, and the Prime Minister of Japan, Toshiki Kaifu. PLU members were also involved in the Department's emergency response to the earthquake, and officers from other Support Services units were assigned to the PLU to assist with all aspects of emergency operations. Annual ,Report 1989-1990 Taxicab Section The Taxicab Section is responsible for the administration and regulation of ordinances relating to Motor Vehicles for Hire and their operation. The Taxicab Section regulates 811 taxicabs, 33 limousines, 2 jitneys, and several other Motor Vehicles for Hire as well as approximately 4,000 Drivers of Public Vehicles. As a member of the Mayor's Taxicab Task Force, this unit played a major role in an in-depth study of the Taxicab Industry. The unit also conducted several on-going investigations, in conjunction with the California Public Utilities Commission, District Attorney's Special Prosecutions unit, San Francisco Airport Police, and other allied law enforcement agencies. These investigations included a large scale taxicab safety investigation and an investigation into illegally operated limousines and tour buses. During the past year, the unit investigated 400 taxicab complaints, and instructed 1,000 drivers in the unit's taxicab training class. Approximately 600 taxicabs received field inspections resulting in a number of administrative citations for violations of the Chief's Rules and Regulations. Warrants Section This unit is the custodian for all types of arrest warrants, from Body Attachments to Grand Jury indictments. The unit maintains warrants in various formats, from handwritten papers to computer tape. Warrants are kept on file from the courtrooms of both the Municipal, Superior Court, and Juvenile Court. This unit is also responsible for County Parole Warrants and the new Sheriffs Arrest Orders. This past year, a new responsibility was added: the Department's Teletype function, previously located in the Bureau of Inspectors. The unit's staffing is a mix of sworn and civilian members. Most sworn staff are light-duty personnel, the remaining full duty members being necessary to perform prisoner transportation and bookings. The Warrant Section ended the past year with monthly averages as follows: New warrants intake: ........................................... 52,380 Local warrants cleared: ...................................... .44,496 · Arrest for foreign jurisdictions: ................... Over 6,000 Warrants on file ................................................. 110,229 Annual Report 1989-1990 Technical Services Division Communications Section The October 17, 1989 earthquake put a tremendous strain on Communications. The Dispatch Center staff on duty at the time answered six times the normal volume of calls hours after the initial quake. Each aftershock brought renewed calls for service to Dispatchers, who by then were voluntarily working overtime and cancelling days off to help reassure callers and provide what help they could. This past year, seven 8239 Senior Dispatcher positions were appointed, and a like number of Police Sergeants were reassigned to Patrol duty as the new civilian supervisors took over their duties. This change released valuable Patrol supervisors to units where they were needed most, saved the City money by staffing positions at less cost, provided more technically proficient supervision, and offered a career path to Dispatchers. Additional civilian management positions are planned, toward the eventual goal of complete civilianization of this unit. Also this fiscal year, installation began on the new 911 call answering system, new radio consoles, and telephone consoles. This installation is planned in stages and is expected to continue through October 1990. The new consoles and 911 system are entirely digital, and will benefit the City through increased reliability, reduced maintenance, better ease of use, and the ability to use the computer to quickly adjust system routing in response to changing workloads. Computer Services Management Section The Computer Services Management Section (CSMS) was organized in January 1989. This unit was given the responsibility of the Police Department's computer systems, and the development of all required and requested statistical information. These computer systems include the IBM 4381 mainframe, the Wang VSIOO, the NEC Automated Fingerprint Identifications System (AFIS) fingerprint computer, all located in the Hall of Justice, as well as personal computer systems used by various units throughout the Department. The IBM mainframe, installed in the late sixties, was upgraded in 1989 to a faster system. This improved the operational efficiency of the five CABLE systems which operate on the mainframe. The CABLE system provides officers with the ability to make 11 Administrative Bureau (continued) checks of persons, vehicles, guns, property and other items, and determine if they are wanted in any part of the United States. CABLE also provides information regarding incident reports, criminal history, wanted vehicle lists ("hot sheets"), personnel scheduling, crime analysis, vehicle registration, driver history, field interview, parolees, crime scene, property for identification, and accident reports. A large part of CABLE is Computer Assisted Dispatch (CAD). CAD stores data concerning the activity of every police unit, each call for service received, and a log of the resulting dispatch. In 1983, San Francisco was the first city in the U.S. to go on line with a state-of-the-art NEC computer for fingerprint identification. During 1989, the AFIS system was upgraded to allow the Department.to search the fingerprint files in the Department of Justice in Sacramento. This has been a great assistance to the Department's Crime Scene Investigators in identifying suspects. Consent Decree 12 Administrative Bureau Staff Services Personnel Backgrounds Medical Liaison Management Control Equal F.mployment Opportunity Legal Legal Services Investigative Services Staff Services Suppat Services Permits Property Control Taxi Permits Warrants Technical Services Communications AutoStatis Computer System, Management Identification Records The Wang VS 100 is shared by six City agencies - the Police Department, Sheriff's Department, Adult Probation Department, Medical Examiner's Office, District Attorney, and the County Clerk. There are 766 users, 128 work stations, and 40 printers connected to the system. New operating system software was purchased and installed this year. The Wang supports word processing, data processing, IBM terminal emulation to the IBM Mainframe, and telecommunications to other Wang computer sites within the City. Future plans include a possible new subsystem to provide support for record automation. A Wang Integrated Image System (WIIS) could be used to provide permanent records of all police files, for the purpose of more efficient storage and retrieval of records, and to expedite report distribution. Identification Section This unit is responsible for the fingerprinting and photographing of those individuals arrested in San Francisco. In the past year the unit processed over 40,000 persons. The unit also operates the Automated Fingerprint Identifications System (AFIS). Fingerprint cards are scanned electronically to determine if the person has a prior local arrest record or if the prints match any found at a crime scene. The unit maintains criminal history files for almost 500,000 persons. Record Section This unit is responsible for the data entry and the custody of all incident and accident reports made by the Department. This year, almost 200,000 reports were received and entered. As part of its cost-recovery program, the unit received revenue by providing over 35,000 reports to the public. Annual Report 1989-1990 Bureau of Inspectors The Bureau of Inspectors is responsible for investigating personal and property crimes. Inspectors work with the District Attorney to prepare cases for prosecution, and oversee the recovery of stolen property. The Bureau also maintains close liaison and participates in many joint investigations with various Federal, State and local law enforcement agencies. Investigations Administration This unit oversees a variety of special functions within the Bureau, such as the Polygraph Examiner and the Witness Relocation Program. Inspectors in this unit also serve as liaison with the District Attorney's Office on the rebookings of all arrests and the investigation of misdemeanor offenses. The Operations Center is also part of this unit and operates the Bureau after normal business hours. Criminalistics Division Criminalistics, headed by a civilian Criminalist, is the Department forensic laboratory where all physical evidence and narcotics are analyzed. It is staffed by non-sworn personnel who specialize in such areas such as firearms, toolmarks, explosives, arson detection, serology, and trace evidence. General Investigations Division This Division is responsible for conducting criminal investigations. It is divided into twelve investigative sections: Auto, Burglary, Crime Scene Investigations, Fencing, Fraud, General Work, Hit and Run, Homicide, Investigations Administration, Night Investigations, Robbery, and Sexual Bureau of Inspectors General Administration lnvestigatiom Juvenile Crime Lab Auto Milling .Penons Photo Lab Burglary CrimeSc:ene lnvestigatiom Fencing Fraud General Work Hit&Run Hooricidc Robbery Annual Report 1989-1990 Assault.

During the past year members of the unit processed 7,203 scenes for fingerprints, blood samples, bullet fragments, gunshot residue and other types of evidence to help identify the suspect or strengthen the case against known suspects. The sworn members of CSI are all court-certified fingerprint experts and receive constant training in the latest techniques in the development of latent fingerprints, including chemical treatment, laser illumination, and computer enhancement. During the past year, CSI made over 500 fingerprint identifications, and solved 172 burglary cases where the only lead was a fingerprint of the suspect. Vice The Photographic Section of the Crime Scene Investigations unit is composed of sworn members who photograph and videotape all major crime scenes. This unit also photographs injured victims, stolen property, accident scenes, and various Department functions. It also provides photographic services for the District Attorney, the Medical Examiner, and the Office of Citizens Complaints. During the past year this unit handled 4,300 assignments and processed over 25,000 negatives. Fencing Section This section investigates pawnshop and secondhand dealers using proactive "sting" operations, as well as undercover and surveillance methods. These methods have resulted in the arrest of several major dealers of itolen property. The section is also responsible for revoking and suspending the licenses of secondhand dealers. Fraud Section The Fraud Section is charged with investigating crimes such as check and credit card forgery, 13 Bureau of Inspectors (continued) embezzlement, shoplifting, pickpocket, and a variety of "bunco scams," as well as miscellaneous thefts. Due to the peculiar nature of these crimes, most of the inspectors assigned to Fraud specialize in a particular crime, though most members share in the investigation of check-related cases. During the past year, the unit investigated over 7,760 cases of fraud. General Work Section The General Work Section consists of three units: Arson, Fugitive and General Investigation. Arson works closely with the San Francisco Fire Department to investigate fires of suspicious origin. Fugitive works with outside jurisdictions in apprehending criminals. General Investigations handles such crimes as assault, kidnapping, extortion, domestic violence, malicious mischief, perjury, bigamy, harassing phone calls, weapons possession, threats, impersonating an officer and attempted murder. During the past year, General Work received 22,000 cases to investigate.

They are also responsible for the follow-up investigation of drunk driving arrests. Over 6,400 cases were received this year and 45 vehicular fatality arrests were investigated. Fatality arrests are reviewed by inspectors with special training in accident reconstruction. Hit and Run, in cooperation with the United States Coast Guard, is also responsible for investigating boating incidents occurring in San Francisco Bay, including hit and run accidents, boating fatalities, and boaters driving under the influence of alcohol. Homicide Section This unit is responsible for the investigation of all homicides, shootings involving police officers, in-custody deaths, and Coroner's cases. During the past year, these inspectors investigated 92 homicides. Robbery Section The Robbery section has inspectors specializing in bank robberies, cab robberies, and senior citizen robberies, though the main focus is street robberies, purse snatches, and grand thefts.

The section does not, however, investigate family-related sex cases involving juveniles; those cases are handled by the Juvenile Division. 14 Juvenile Division Juvenile is located iii the old Central Police Station building, built in 1913 at 2475 Greenwich Street. Its separate location was chosen to provide a non-threatening atmosphere for the victims of child abuse and related crimes. Juvenile inspectors have specialized training in their area of expertise. The Division handles child abuse, child· exploitation, robberies and assaults committed by juveniles, as well as reports of missing persons, adults or juvenile. The division also has a child exploitation unit which attempts to prevent crimes by identifying and prosecuting pedophiles. Narcotics Division Narcotics has responsibility for drug trafficking investigations and provides support for the Department through follow-up investigations, information collection, coordination with State and Federal agencies and asset forfeiture investigations. During the past year, the unit seized millions of dollars in money and property. The unit works closely with community groups, and with private and public agencies to combat the City's drug problem in the most effective manner. Vice Crimes Division Vice Crimes is responsible for enforcing laws regarding prostitution against organized houses of prostitution and against street prostitutes. In addition, Vice investigates prostitution related felony crimes such as robbery, grand theft, and pimping/ pandering. Vice also investigates gambling and bookmaking complaints, as well as police permits and alcohol beverage applications. During the past year, several successful prosecutions occurred involving the pimping and pandering of juvenile prostitutes. Several defendants in these cases have been ordered to pay fines totaling $350,000, to be distributed to various social service agencies assisting troubled youth. The successful prosecution of major bookmakers by this unit has resulted in the Department receiving $25,000 in court-ordered restitution, paid by those convicted.
