On, March 16, 2017, SFPD had invoked an additional 14 day extension of time to respond to your request for footage pursuant to Government Code section 6253(c) and notified you that we would produce the footage as soon as practicable but no later than March 29, 2017.

However, please be advised that our response to your request for Body Worn Camera footage is forthcoming, due to both the size of the Body Worn Camera footage and the process required to produce the footage. The SFPD is continuing its review of footage that is potentially responsive to your request and will produce them as soon as practicable or, if necessary, on an incremental or rolling basis once they are finally determined to be responsive and non-exempt.  The SFPD anticipates completing this review in the next few weeks.
