SAN FRANCISCO—On Monday, September 28, the San Francisco Police Department announced starting October 1, the San Francisco Police Department will roll out new boundaries at six district stations. The SFPD is required under the city charter to review district station boundaries every 10 years to ensure we optimize police operations and efficiency.
The SFPD worked with district station captains, command staff, city legislators and community stakeholders to develop the best boundaries to meet the public safety needs of San Francisco. The Police Department does not anticipate the changes will cause any disruption to service. New boundaries will help ensure patrol operations are balanced when officers are responding to calls for service and incidents across the city.
The SFPD has already adjusted resources to ensure our staffing meets any new demands at individual district stations. The changes affect Central, Tenderloin, Northern, Southern, Richmond and Park Stations. The other four police districts will not change.
Some changes include:
-Southern Station, which will now assume responsibility for both sides of Market Street
-Central Station, which will assume responsibility for an additional area west to Van Ness Avenue
Visit the SFPD’s website for all details about one’s district station, including the new station boundaries. Members of the public should contact 911 in case of emergencies, including police, fire and medical, or crimes in progress. For situations that require the police, but do not require an immediate response, call 1-415-553-0123. Language access is available when necessary.
