Get to Know Stop Crime SF
Joel Engardio, vice-president of Stop Crime SF, recently spoke at SNA’s quarterly meeting about the new SF organization.
Get to Know Stop Crime SF
If you care about stopping crime, you should get to know Stop Crime SF.

The new law bans the city from using facial recognition technology and regulates the use of city-operated video cameras.
The group’s Court Watch program was featured on the front page of the San Francisco Chronicle and in several articles by columnist Heather Knight. Continue reading “Get to Know Stop Crime SF”
