Reducing violent crime and drug sales in the Tenderloin

Data trends in arrests and the sale of narcotics in the Tenderloin

Public drug activity creates unsafe and unhealthy behaviors on the streets and sidewalks. Ongoing daily interventions and joint field operations are disrupting drug dealing, encouraging people who use drugs to seek treatment, and maintaining a positive neighborhood presence to reduce violent crime.

Arrests

Total arrests include all arrests performed in the Tenderloin police district, including for charges in addition to Assault/Battery or Narcotics Sale. Assault and Battery arrests combine arrests made for assault or battery. Narcotics arrests include only arrests for narcotics sale or possession for sale, and do not include arrests for narcotics possession.

This data is reported by SFPD each week. These results may differ from the DataSF Police Incidents dataset because an incident can have multiple arrests associated with it. Similarly, the results may differ from the SFPD Crime Dashboard due to the difference between incidents and arrests, and the requirements of Federal Uniform Crime Reporting.

The location of calls is in the Tenderloin Police District and a one block buffer zone around the district. Violent crimes are homicide, rape, robbery, carjacking, kidnapping, aggravated assault, sexual assault, or human trafficking. There is not necessarily a 1 to 1 correlation between a call from the public to 911 and a dispatched call in the Computer Aided Dispatch system as phone calls can be combined into a dispatched call or split into more than one call depending on the resources requested. Both calls from the public and internal calls are included. Calls that are Priority I (Information) are excluded.
