For a detailed overview, see: https://support.datasf.org/help/police-department-incident-reports-2018-to-present-overview

This dataset includes police incident reports filed by officers and by individuals through self-service online reporting for non-emergency cases. Reports included are those for incidents that occurred starting January 1, 2018 onward and have been approved by a supervising officer.

Disclaimer: The San Francisco Police Department does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness or correct sequencing of the information as the data is subject to change as modifications and updates are completed.

For up to date data starting in 2018, please go to the new dataset at: https://data.sfgov.org/d/wg3w-h783

As of May 2018, the feed from the legacy mainframe CABLE was discontinued. It was extremely prone to issues and caused many delays in data accessibility. The new dataset linked above comes from the Crime Data Warehouse, a more reliable data system maintained by the Police Department.

This data will undergo a minor update to conform more closely to the schema of the new dataset. We will post a change notice when that work is planned. This change will not include adding new fields or backfilling data. It is provided as is. We are keeping data from the two systems separate to make it transparent to data users that there were fundamental changes.
