San Francisco police logged 1,948 dispatched calls in the city's public dispatch archive for September 2. The archive is the demand side of the record: what people asked for, not what officers found.
San Francisco police logged 1,948 dispatched calls in the city's public dispatch archive for September 2, Wednesday. The day before was 1,922.
The most common call types among the published calls were traf violation cite (385), passing call (327), suspicious person (198).
Among published calls with a district, the busiest were Southern (361), Mission (307), Northern (242).
The live dispatch feed flagged 577 more of the day's calls as sensitive, and the city withholds their details. They are not in this archive, so the daily count understates total dispatches.
Dispatch totals measure demand and response workload, not crime rates: a call is a request for service, and an incident report is an allegation until it is resolved.
These briefs are generated from the same public file every day. They are meant to be the shortcut: the city's own portal asks you to page through records one call at a time.
