29 Lunar New Year celebrants can help avoid becoming a victim of a crime by keeping in mind the following safety tips: The festivities are about celebrating community.

District Attorney, Archie Wong: With over 2,300 different telephone numbers listed to access local government services, many people did not know what number to dial to reach the appropriate department. Now you can connect to city services with only two numbers to remember: 911 for emergencies and for everything else.

32 Before 311, over 50% of calls to the 911 center were not emergency related. 311 relieves 911 operators from these non-emergency calls. If a catastrophic emergency such as an earthquake occurs, 311 operators will be able to provide accurate information to assist during the recovery. In the unlikely event the 911 facilities becomes inoperative, the 311 call center will function as a back up. The SFPD wants to hear from YOU, our key stakeholders. We are committed to excellence in law enforcement and are dedicated to the people, traditions and diversity of our City. Our mission is to provide service with understanding, response with compassion, performance with integrity and law enforcement with vision. We welcome your comments. Let us know how we re doing, what we could be doing better and your thoughts on how your police department can work more closely with the community it proudly serves. Your feedback will help SFPD better serve our City. Your comments will reviewed by our Community Engagement Unit and forwarded to the relevant unit, department office or neighborhood station for review and follow up, if appropriate. (If this is an emergency, please call 911. For non-emergencies, call You may also visit sanfranciscopolice.org/police-commendation-complaint for more information on providing input on SFPD policies and practices.)
