San Francisco Police Department Regional Vehicle Interdiction Desk Project

The San Francisco Police Department Regional Vehicle Interdiction Desk Project proposes funding and development for a specialized analyst in its Real Time Investigations Center (RTIC) to combat carjacking and the use of carjacking vehicles in organized crime, advanced software and training to support this project, and a media campaign to support community engagement and community policing. The primary grant activities include tactical casework in support of carjacking investigations and prosecutions and use of carjacking vehicles in organized crime through evidence-based strategies and use of grant-funded software. The primary service area is the City and County of San Francisco and its neighboring counties of San Mateo, Santa Clara, Alameda, and Contra Costa. Expected outcomes include a reduction in carjacking in San Francisco and a reduction in the use of carjacking vehicles in organized crime. The intended beneficiaries are the 11 officers assigned to RTIC,13 crime analysts assigned to the Crime Analysis Unit, the San Francisco District Attorney's Office, the United States Attorney's Office for the Northern District of California, and the constituent communities of the Bay Area that the RTIC protects.
