Committee Greenlights First Sheriff's Office Audit in 11 Years
San Francisco's Government Audit and Oversight Committee unanimously advanced a performance audit of the Sheriff's Office — the first comprehensive review in over a decade — while also approving new drone and less-lethal equipment for the department. All items passed 2-0, with Chair Jackie Fielder excused.
- Sheriff's Office faces its first performance audit since 2015, with overtime, staffing, and immigration policies in the crosshairs
- Sheriff wins approval for $250,000 drone-as-first-responder system and new pepper spray tearball grenade for jail operations
- Six lawsuit settlements advance to the full board without discussion or public comment
The basics: The committee approved a motion, sponsored by Supervisor Connie Chan, directing the Budget and Legislative Analyst to add a performance audit of the Sheriff's Office to its 2026 audit schedule. Board rules require each city program to be audited at least every eight years — but the Sheriff's Office hasn't had one in 11 years.
