No one should have to endure the unimaginable pain and trauma associated with the loss of a loved one to homicide. With these new changes, we’re encouraging people with information about homicides to work with the SFPD on solving these crimes. You can help, too.

[San Francisco Police @SFPD]

One homicide is one too many. Our investigators work tirelessly to bring justice to families and hold suspects accountable.

We're launching the "You Can Help, Too" campaign to urge individuals to assist in solving homicides and cold cases following legislation this year that expanded reward fund eligibility.
