Overview

• San Francisco police commissioners voted unanimously on June 4 to accept Chris Larsen’s $9.4 million gift to modernize the department’s Real-Time Investigation Center.
• The funding will cover moving RTIC operations from the Hall of Justice into a vacant Ripple-leased space at 315 Montgomery St. in the financial district.
• RTIC’s resources include drones, automated license plate readers and public safety cameras, and the center helped secure over 500 arrests in 2024 during a 30 percent citywide crime decrease.
• Mayor Daniel Lurie and outgoing Police Chief Bill Scott have praised the upgraded facility as essential for enhancing officers’ real-time response and surveillance capabilities.
• Final sign-off on the donation and relocation plan is pending approval by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.
