The California DOJ agreed to partner with the SFPD and Jensen Hughes to oversee the implementation of the recommendations after the U.S. DOJ withdrew.
The Board approved a motion to schedule updates on the progress of implementing the DOJ recommendations regarding police reforms.
The SFPD provided an update on the status of the recommendations, indicating significant progress towards compliance.
The Board held a hearing to receive updates on the implementation status of the DOJ recommendations, reflecting ongoing community and legislative interest.
