"Infrastructure resiliency is key to being able to safeguard our city during a major disaster, such as an earthquake. Completing these much-needed seismic, safety and operations improvements will help ensure officers and civilian staff at our district police stations and support facilities are ready and able to respond quickly during an emergency."
-William Scott, Chief of Police, San Francisco Police Department

Presentation to Police Commission - October 14, 2020

Why do we need to strengthen, improve and rehabilitate district police stations and facilities?

The San Francisco Police Department is increasing its staff to meet the changing needs of the growing City. This presents a challenge to the Police Department’s district stations and support facilities, as they were built for a smaller police force and lack adequate space for the current staffing level and projected future needs.
​
Some police stations are nearly a century old and many upgrades are more than 25 years old. There is an urgency to make improvements to police facilities to bolster their resiliency in the event of an earthquake. Most don't meet current seismic codes for essential public safety facilities. 

The stations and support facilities have a broad range of functional, security, technical and seismic inadequacies.  Since their inception, many have operated continuously and are in need of modernization. Putting off these improvements can hinder police capabilities in responding to emergencies.
