Good afternoon!

Will Jarrett’s in-depth research on civil settlements involving SF law enforcement offers an incredibly clear and detailed report on thirteen years of lawsuits against city cops, deputy sheriffs, and law enforcement staff.

Yesterday, he showed where $70 million in settlements went. Today, he looks at the officers who’ve appeared in multiple high-profile cases or disciplinary proceedings– and what their alleged misconduct has cost the city.

Take a look at this important report, and explore Mission Local’s interactive database.

More soon,
