The San Francisco Police Department is currently in the process of finalizing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the District Attorney’s Office to streamline the outcomes of Officer Involved Shootings.

The SFPD Internal Affairs Division OIS team is currently moving forward with the administrative investigation in lieu of receiving a charging decision letter from the DA’s Office. Upon completion, the cases are presented to the department’s Firearm Discharge Review Board.

The SFPD website also posts all statistics and updates regarding OIS incidents.
