Making SFPD Accountable: A Community Conversation

Sponsored by: San Franciscans for Police Accountability.

The evidence is clear: San Francisco Police Department is badly broken, operates without effective oversight and is in need of transformational reform. The Blue Ribbon Panel on Police Transparency and Accountability composed of independent volunteer judges and attorneys has thoroughly studied SFPD and made thoughtful recommendations for change. But unless San Franciscans speak out, SFPD will continue to embarrass our City and harm our citizens while these recommendations gatherdust.

On September 24, 2016, you are invited to learn more about the Blue Ribbon Panel’s recommendations for reforming SFPD and groups working on police accountability. Our Community Conversation will engage citizens and unite voices to ensure that change occurs.
