However, when crimes do occur, the Department must react with vigorous law enforcement, moving aggressively toward arrest and prosecution of the perpetrator. We Believe that while Crime Prevention is our Principal Goal, We should Vigorously Pursue those who Commit Serious Crimes. The Department's primary focus must be crime prevention.In violent situations, we are committed in using all reasonable means to prevent injury to the public. Our highest priority will always be the protection of human life. This belief is reflected in every aspect of police conduct. Our Highest Priority is the Protection of Human Life. There is no more important priority to the San Francisco Department than protection of human life. Values set standards for our members in executing their public safety duties. These are our fundamental beliefs from which our agency sets policy, delivers services and implements programs.

These values guide the operation of the Department and the conduct of its members.
