San Francisco Police Department

More about the book

Police work in San Francisco is a complex blend of gritty reality and occasional glamour, far removed from cinematic portrayals. Established in 1849 amid the Gold Rush, the SFPD began with a mere 35 officers to serve a rapidly growing population. Over the years, they have navigated infamous cases such as the Zodiac Killer and the Patty Hearst bank robbery. Despite a history marked by violence and scandal, the department's dedicated officers remain committed to serving the diverse community of this iconic city.
