SF-IRP Policy Proposal: SF-IRP has presented a draft resolution to the San Francisco Human Rights Commission, which includes the following items:
Be it resolved that to address the Non-Police Officer or Community’s contributions to Biased Policing the SF Board of Supervisors requires that:
City Agencies review their partnerships with social media companies that allow the stigmatization of People of Color under the guise of pursuing public safety.
City agencies should examine their partnerships with public safety groups to ensure their volunteers and employees are versed in bias awareness and receive anti-bias training. The fulfillment of this training should be made publicly available on group websites.
SFPD Community Policing protocols should require:
Bias awareness/anti-bias training for all volunteers and paid employees of public safety city groups;
Each district's Community Police Advisory Board (CPAB) to have a designated seat for an Anti-Bias Liaison filled by a district community member;
CPABs to be independent bodies, allowing captains to nominate members, who would then be reviewed and appointed by Supervisors or other elected officials not tied to the SFPD;
Bias Awareness/Anti-Bias Training for employees of each of the city’s Community Benefit Districts (CBD); and Bias Awareness/Anti-Bias for Training Neighborhood Watch Block Captains.
