SBF Provides Seed Funds for Police Training Project

SBF provided initial seed funds for a new police training project that grew out of the death of Amelie Le Moullac and botched police investigation (see November 2013 entry). This SFBC asked San Francisco Supervisor Jane Kim, in whose district Amelie was killed, to hold a hearing on police practices when bicycles are involved in crashes. Many bike riders involved in crashes told the Supervisors they had been blamed for crashes that clearly weren’t their fault. The SFBC project will train police officers in how to enforce vehicle code provisions and conduct investigations when bicycles are involved.
