History
On June 4, 2020, Mayor London N. Breed and Supervisor Shamann Walton announced they would reallocate a portion of the San Francisco Police Department's budget to invest in San Francisco’s Black community.
Mayor Breed and Supervisor Walton invited community members to share their ideas and input on the reallocation of funding in a process facilitated by the San Francisco Human Rights Commission (HRC).
