Hi Donnie- Yes I do think we might be interested in this. We have not yet rolled out predictive pol icing to
officers yet so you are moving faster than we are- but that is good. What would we need to do to join the
pilot?

Hello again. Reconnecting to see if you're interested in joining Atlanta in a no-cost deployment
of gun violence predictions. Details are below and we're expecting to announce this
first-in-the-nation roll out by the first week in April.
Thanks,

Susan& Rod-
Happy Friday to you. We are excited about the budding partnership with you. Things seem to
be moving in the right direction on technology integration, so when we get the paperwork
complete, we will soon be greenlighted all around.
I write this morning to present an idea for a gun violence pilot for your consideration.
As you know, our technology has done a great job at predicting property crimes in L.A. and
elsewhere. In the last two months, this has brought you on board as well as Seattle and Atlanta.
As we continue to think about the potential for the technology, we wondered earlier in 2012 if
it could also predict gun violence, a crime with less frequency and different motivating
characteristics. So we did some work with Chicago's gun violence data that is available
through an open government web portal. It turns out, as you will see in the attached white
paper, that the formulas appear to predict this headline news crime as effectively as the
run-of-the-mill property offenses.
So what's our idea for San Francisco? We want to know if you will become a pilot city, at no
'
additional cost beyond our current agreement.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this and to address all the questions on logistics and
timing that follow from the offer.
All the best,
Donnie

Rod and S t ~ v e ,
Hope everything is going well. I'm pleased to report that we've
finished setting up the background infrastructure for San Francisco
and are ready to process data and generate predictions. I already gave
Steve a copy of the software used to securely pass data through the
prediction servers, pre-configured with San Francisco's connection
information.
We can literally start generating predictions for you tomorrow if the
software is hooked up properly to a database view. I've talked to our
other founders about this, and as Bay Area residents we're really
excited to be able to share this with you as soon as you're ready. Let
us know what we can do to help you complete this last step.

Hello again. We've been moving along really well at PredPol, so I want to check in with you
again and re-confirm (based'on your questions below) that we can easily integrate with the Crime
Data Warehouse mapping. This is because we provide predictions of time and place to send
officers. Those predictions are not dependent on a particular type of map, only that SFPD push
three pieces of data from your RMS: (1) type of crime, (2) time of crime, and (3) place of crime.
We would love to take you up on your offer for another meeting to dive jnto the details. Our
technology is really much simpler than you might think to deploy, and you'll remember that our
single, annual price of $75,000 that Chief Suhr mentioned in the Chronicle in August is the only
cost to you.
I have provided a log-in below my signature to see Santa Cruz's tool at work. I've also provided
Zach Friend's contact information again.
What does your schedule look like over the next two weeks?
All the best,
Donnie

The short answer: Integration of predictions and mapping are possible and not difficult from our perspective. There are, in fact,
several ways to deliver the predictions. including, for example, daily emails to officers with reports. Regardless, we think it's a
great idea because SFPD would have all PredPol's features and a custom intertace where you can see everything together.
We recommend a meeting with you (and even Crime Data Warehouse) to talk through the details.
Here's how it could work. SFPD sets up the data pipe and do encrypted transmission to PredPol's servers which process the
crime and make the web interface available like usual. This is a totally normal Predpol setup. The additional step is that SFPD
then has your data warehouse software send requests to our servers, wi th a special flag that lets the server know the person
sending the request is actually a computer. Instead of sending back our rich graphical interface, the server sends back simple
t ext containing only the data requested. The SFPD data warehouse software is then responsible for showing the prediction dat a
to officers in whatever way you choose.
I have copi ed Dr. George Mohler and Omar Qazi so that they can join our discussi on and coordinat e schedules.
All the best,
Donnie

Re: Predictive Policing & SFPD Follow-Up

Next steps for the San Francisco - PredPol proof of concept are:
We need a csv file crime report data including address, date, time and crime type.
Dates are January 1, 2010 to the present.
The crimes we predict are burglary (res, comm., auto), auto theft, theft, robbery, assault,
battery, and drug crime.
Once we agree to a contract, the csv file transfer will be replaced with a more flexible & less
labor-intensive dat:1 pipe.
Omar Qazi is your point person to implement this no-charge demo < omar:'a{predpol.com>. He
is copied here to get things moving.

Susan-
Great to catch up with you again last week. As follow-up to our call on predictive policing,
please find some additional information
Command Staff Presentation: Per your request, we will produce maps using your data for a
presentation to command staff. Zach Friend of the Santa CruzPD can join as can George
Mohler, Omar Qazi, and I.
futegration: We will want to determine that PredPol can be integrated in with SFPD's
web-based Crime Data Warehouse (to avoid logging in to two systems). Our goal is minimal
work on your end.
Annual Licensing Fee: $150,000 with a 50% discount for signing up as one of the 15-20 early
showcase cities nationally and a corrunitment for collaboration over the next three years. There
are no new hires or new equipment required. The only additional cost might involve providing
mapping tools in addition to the basic predictive analysis. This will become_ more clear as our
conversations continue.

Susan-
Next steps for the San Francisco - PredPol proof of concept are:
We need a csv file crime report data including address, date, time and crime type.
Dates are January 1, 2010 to the present.
The crimes we predict are burglary (res, comm., auto), auto theft, theft, robbery, assault, :
battery, and drug crime.
Once we agree to a contract, the .csv file transfer will be replaced with a more flexible & less
labor-intensive data pipe.
Omar Qazi is your point person to implement this no-charge demo < omar@.predpol.com >. He
is copied here to get t hings moving.

Great to catch up with you again last week. As follow-up to our call on predictive policing,
please fmd some additional information
Command Staff Presentation: Per your request, we will produce maps using your data for a
presentation to command staff. Zach Friend of the Santa Cruz PD can join as can George
Mohler, Omar Qazi, and I.
Integration: W,e will want to determine that PredPol can be integrated i.n with SFPD's
web-based Crime Data Warehouse (to avoid logging in to two systems). Our goal is mfu..imal
work on your end.
Annual Licensing Fee: $150,000 \\ith a 50% discount for signing up as one ofthe 15-20 early
showcase cities nationally and a commitment for collaboration over the next three years. There
are no new hires or new equipment required. The only additional cost might involve providing
mapping tools in addition to the basic predictive analysis. This will become more clear as our
conversations continue.

Great! I look forward to finding some time.
The genesis of the technology is a pretty innocent story. LAPD started working with some
UCLA academics on crime prevention about six years back. Over time, they developed an
algorithm based on the kind of mathematics for determining aftershocks following an earthquake
and just finished a rollout in the Foothill Division \Vith plans to go citywide. Santa Cruz got
word of it and rolled it out themselves in 2011 .

Suzy Loftus was good enough to reconnect us, so I'm following up with some details
on the predictive policing technology she mentioned to you. A summary is attached to
this email that you can share with your team. We will send along some additional

Predictive Policing
The Problem: Police departments nationwide are facing budget freezes and deep
cuts, requiring them to manage their resources more effectively while still responding
to public demand for crime prevention and reduction.
The Solution: Like forecasting the weather, PredPol's patent-pending technology
generates predictions about which areas and windows of time are at highest risk for
future crimes. In contrast to analysis that simply maps past crime data, this
technology applies advanced mathematics and computer learning that has resulted in
predictions twice as accurate as those made by experienced crime analysts and
veteran police using only their own knowledge and experience.

Susan-
Page 1 of 4
You asked last week about a public announcement in San Francisco in early April on the gun
violence predictions. Below is an example of the coverage that Seattle received a couple of weeks
ago when the mayor and chief announced their deployment of the basic predictive t ool.
Seattle Times, February 2013 ("will allow us to be proactive rather than reactive")
http:/lbloqs.seattletimes.com/ today/2013/02/seattle-police-turn-to-computer-software-to-
fig ht-crime/
KPLU-Seattle (NPR), February 2013 ("will help them allocate patrols more
effectively")
http: //www. kplu .org/ post/seattle-tacoma-rolling-out-new-predict ive-po li cing-softwa re
You will see it is an opportunity to announce some good news for bot h t he Chief and t he Mayor
and that, in many stories, the idea of predictive policing is ment ioned but not necessarily PredPol
as a company.
Do you have a public information officer that we should speak with for more detailed planning?
Zach Friend, who you will remember as Santa Cruz PO's spokesperson and crime analyst, will be
part of making this work well .

Good news! This gun violence deployment would not affect your schedule for
rolling out the general predictive tool. Atlanta PD is basi cally on the same
timeline that you are, so that also works well.
The immediate addition to your planning is making a public announcement in
late March or early April that Atlanta and San Francisco will be deploying a first-
: in-the-nation gun violence prediction strategy. (There might be a third city like
Detroit.)
The actual date on which you flip the switch remains your decision. Our view is
that the announcement is important soon because the gun control I gun
violence debate is front-and-center. We think that this is one solution to the
problem, and for the elected officials it is a solution that avoids the contentious
fight over the Second Amendment.
As an aside, we are also creating a partnership with ShotSpotter, which is think
SFPD is already using. Your ideas on this are most welcome.

Susan & Rod-
Happy Friday to you. We are excited about the budding partnership with. you.
Things seem to be moving r:n the right direction on technology integration, so
when we get the paperwork complete, we will soon be greenlighted all around.
I write this morning to present an idea for a gun violence pilot for your
consideration.
As you know, our technology has done a great job at predi cting property crimes
in L.A. and elsewhere. In the last two months, this has brought you on board
as well as Seattle and Atlanta.
As we continue to think about the potential for the technology, we wondered
earlier in 2012 if it could also predict gun violence, a crime with less frequency
and different motivating characteristics. So we did some work with Chicago's
gun violence data that is available through an open government web portal. It
turns out, as you will see in the attached white paper, that the formulas appear
to predict this headline news crime as effectively as the run-of-the-mill
property offenses.
So, what's our idea for San Francisco? We want to know if you wi ll become a
pilot city, at no additional cost beyond our current agreement.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this and to address all the questions
on logistics and timing that follow from the offer.

Q PREDICTIVE POLICING
ATTACHMENT A
SERVICES
SOFTWARE (SaaS) SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE SAN FRANCISCO POLICE DEPARTMENT and PREDPOL, INC.
The Company: PredPol, the predictive policing company, provides high-precision, micro-place
predictions for where and when crime- whether property crime, gun crime or gang crime- is most likely
to occur. Predicting crime in real time is the first step in deterring and disrupting it. PredPol' s cloud
based software-as-a-service (SaaS) has first been deployed for domestic U.S. law enforcement agencies,
but also accurately predicts a variety of incidents, including lED and terrorist activity in an active theater.
Problem Addressed: Law enforcement agencies face budget cuts, hiring freezes and furloughs. Over the
last decade, they have been asked to do more with less, forcing them to allocate resources more
efficiently. PredPol enables agencies to do more with the limited resources. PredPol 's proven patent-
pending prediction technology, developed with cops for cops, provides automated real time predictions
that line level officers can use to focus their patrols in the areas which yield the highest return. PredPol 's
accuracy and crime reducing effects have both been proven in a double blind study with LAPD.
The Service to San Francisco Police Department: PredPol's product for San Francisco, its law
enforcement predi ctive SaaS, integrates seamlessly with agency RMS/CAD systems, to provide real-time
predictions to command and line level officers. It' s accessible on any device, whether desktop, laptop,
tablet, or in-car display that has a standard connected web browser. PredPol's API allows it
to integrate with any RMS/CAD system, as well as any existing agency application, such as data
warehouse browser or analytic dashboard.
Scope of Work: PredPoJ shall provide services, resources, and tools to support a successful
implementation of a proprietary, patent pending SaaS application that supports the San Francisco Police
Department's efforts to predict, deter, and reduce crime. The scope of work will include the following:
Setup of and integration of the PredPol tool into Customer's existing RMS/CAD/Data system.
Timeline for setup dependent upon grant of access by Customer to PredPol's technician for
installation of the data pipeline.
Installation of a data pipe from Customer to the PredPol SaaS. Frequency of data update (daily,
hourly, every few minutes) is dependent on the degree of access granted to PredPol to stream data
from Customer.
Provide Command, Analysts and Supervisors with best practices guidance.
Full Customer access to the tool, including unlimited prediction views, refreshes, and report
generation.
Provide electronic transfer of 500 square foot locations identified by PredPoLcom to Customer
for electronic consumption by Customer' s computer systems via a data exchange yet to be
detailed.
Access to 3, 7, 14 and 28 day historical crime mapping for crime types predicted by the tool.
Provide phone and email support for technical and operational use.
Inclusion of feature updates as added during the subscription, at no additional charge.
Delivery and Payment: PredPol will provide the services and deliverables pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the Agreement between PredPol and the San Francisco Police Department. Initial payment
ATTACHMENT A: Page 1 of4
for services and deliverables will be made based on the successful execution of the Agreement.
Subsequent payments will be made after PredPol meets the specific standards described in this
Attachment and performs all Services in a professional manner with high quality and in a timely manner.
Both Parties will make reasonable efforts to mutually agree upon the successful delivery of the Services.
Subject to the exercise of its rights and remedies, Customer shall pay such invoices that are issued in
accordance with the tenns of this contract within 30 days of receipt. Invoices for subsequent years under
this Agreement may be issued no more than 30 days in advance of the anniversary date of this
Agreement.

Hello again. One of the follow-ups from our conversation was pulling together a meeting with our
tech team, your folks, and Oracle. I write to coordinate that and see what I might do to help
make it happen.
Also, you mentioned that at least one of our team, probably Omar Qazi who was in our meeting,
would need a background check. Anything I can do to make that happen?
We are looking forward to working with you.
All the best,

Crime Increases in Sacramento
. After Deep Cuts to Police Force
By ERICA GOODE
httn/ /o:fm}11104 sfoov.oro/mail/rodcastill .nsf/(%24Inbox )/56C898967BBA65A412AE866C 156... 4/2/13

SACRAMENTO- At first, it seemed just an unwelcome nod to frugality. Overtime for police
officers was reduced. Vacant positions went unfilled.
But each year brought more bad news for this city's Police Department. In 2011, faced with the
biggest budget cuts yet- $12.2 million - Chief Rick Braziel was forced to take drastic action:
he laid off sworn officers and civilian employees; eliminated the vice, narcotics, f inancial crimes
and undercover gang squads, sending many detectives back to patrol; and thinned the auto
theft, forensics and canine units. Police officers no longer responded to burglaries,
misdemeanors or minor traffic accidents.
Earlier this year, the traffic enforcement unit was disbanded. The department now conducts
follow-up investigations. for only the most serious crimes, like homicide and sexual assault.
"You reach the point where there is nothing left to cut," Chief Braziel said.
The shrinking of Sacramento's police force has been extreme; the department has lost more
than 300 sworn officers and civilian staff members and more than 30 percent of its budget
since 2008. But at a time when many cities are curtailing essential services like policing - the
Los Angeles Police Department said last week that it could lay off 160 civilian employees by
Jan. 1 - the cutbacks in this sprawling city of 472
1
000 offer a window on the potential
consequences of such economizing measures, criminal justice experts say.
"Sacramento may be a good city to watch in terms of what we can predict for the f uture," said
Chuck Wexler, the executive director of the Police Executive Research Forum.
Noting that crime rates have plummeted across the country in the last two decades, Mr. Wexler
said, "You could argue that the police have been doing something right. " But with budgets
being cut, he continued, "police chiefs are caught between saying/ 'Look what we have done,'
and having to rethink the strategies that have been successful."
Chief Braziel said he had tried to make the cuts strategically, making sure that the publicrs
highest priority - having a police officer respond In a timely fashion when a 911 call comes in -
is met and preserving a focus on violent crimes. ("There's no law that says you have to
investigate homicides, but you don't just stop investigating homicides," he said.) Detectives
serve on regional task forces led by the F.B.I. that focus on gangs and trafficking. To help
morale, Chief Braziel has also offered short- term rotations to patrol officers, providing some
variety now that their chances for promotion are severely limited.
"I could cry all day long about the budget cuts and the 30 percent and t he loss of people and
everything else," Chief Braziel said. "But it doesn't do any good because you get dealt a hand of
cards with a budget crisis and you're playing stud poker - you can't give back the cards and
say deal me two or three more."
c:fanv nro/mFti1/rodcac;;ti11.nsf/(%24TnhoxV5fiC:R9R9fi7RRAfi')A41 2AF.Rfi()C:15() ... 4/2/11
Page 3 of8
"You've got to figure out within the new rules of the game how to do it. better/' he said ,
But he is not blind to the effects of paring down a police force to its core.
In 2011, Chief Braziel said, the cuts, in his opinion, went past ttie tipping point. While
homicides have remained steady, shootings - a more reliable indicator of gun violence - are
up 48 percent this year. Rapes, robberies, aggravated assaults, b.urglaries and vehicle thefts
have also increased, though in smaller increments.
Coll)plicating matters, the cutbacks have coincided with a flow of convicted offenders back into
the city as California, heeding a Supreme Court ruling, has reduced its prison population. Once
released, former inmates have less supervision - the county's probation department also
suffered cuts.
Chief Braziel, an optimist by nature, said the reductions have in fact had some benefits - more
experienced officers on street patrols, for example. But the gaps are increasingly evident.
When a patrol officer stopped a car a few weeks ago and found the driver in possession of half
a pound of recently cooked methamphetamine, worth $20,000 on the street, there was no one
to s'pend the 10 hours it would take to write up and execute a search warrant for the man's
residence, despite the suspicion that a m.eth laboratory would be found there.
" It's frustrating," said the officer, Darrald Bryan, who had worked his way up to an invest igative
job in the robbery unit but was sent back to pCltrol last year along with 24 other detectives, a
demotion that involved a 5 percent pay cut, a switch to the graveyard shift in order to keep his
weekends off and the loss of his take-home car .
"You just don't have the manpower, " said Officer Bryan, adding that the best he coi.Jid do was
arrest the man for possession and sale of narcotics. Now that the gang squad is gone, patrol
officers take turns in 90-day assignments that focus on gang activity. But undercover work is a
thing of the past, and a highly successful program called Ceasefire, intended t o reduce gang
vi olence, was halted for lack of money, staffi ng and community resources.
Sacramento has ranked at the top for traffic accidents among cit ies of similar size
in California. But with the demise of the traffic enforcement unit, citations are down, volunteers
have to be called in for large-scale events like races and parades, and efforts to analyze the
city's most collision-prone intersections and address their hazards have been abandoned:
Teams of police officers - known as problem-oriented policing teams - once worked the city's
troubled neighborhoods, foll owi ng up with residents, landlords and government offices t o solve
problems identifi ed on patrol. But those teams, too, were a casualt y of the 2011 cuts.

"Would I rather be a drug dealer, a speeder or, if I was involved in the prostitution trade, would
. I rather be involved in that today as opposed to four years ago? Absolutely," said Lt. Justin
! Eklund of the major crimes section. "The issue comes down to, ' If we have X amount of bodies,
what are we going to do?'"
. Not every attempt to prioritize has worked out as planned. Burglaries had been dropped from
, the list of crimes that officers responded to. But that policy has now been reversed, after patrol
; officers heard complaints and residents resisted filing the onl ine reports t hat were i ntended as a
' substitute.
- For many residents, said Deputy Chief Dana Matthes, "the one time in their life they have to
call the police is because their house is burglarized, and we tell them: 'Oh, report that online.
We can't come out.' It doesn't send that customer service message that we're there for them."
A local sales tax measure on the ballot in Tuesday's election could restore some f inancing for
. the Police Department and other essential services in Sacramento. But Chief Braziel said the
budget crisis had forced the department to re-examine how it is organized and what its
priorities should be. Even when the economy relents, he said, some things may be done
differently. "You've got to have a business model/' he said. "The world's changing, and you've
_ got to change. You've got to get out in front of it. "
Bernard K. Melekian, the director of the Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented
: Policing Services, said a similar rethinking was taking place across the country as departments
coped with dwindling budgets. Many are consolidating services or merging with other agencies
to form regional law enforcement authorities- in November, Camden, N.J. , wi ll close its
' department. terminating 273 officers and ceding control to a county police force.
1
The result, Mr. Melekian said, will be significant shifts in how policing is practiced. Whether the
outcome will be simply an increase in efficiency or an increase in crime is anyone's guess.
"That's the big question that everybody is looking at," he said.

We're looking forward to catching up with you on Thursday. To make sure we're bringing
everything you need, I write (and left you a voicemail) to get a feel for the most important
information you are seeking and to get the specific questions you will want answered.
You will remember that we created a demo for the Mission district of SFPD in early
August at SFPD's request. There is also a historical analysis to assess the validity of using PredPol in
San Francisco. The report is attached to this email. The login and password for your demo PredPol

' I 831-212-5065
As far as implementation and integration, we can easily integrate with the Crime Data Warehouse
mapping. All we need from SFPD is a push of three pieces of data from your RMS: (1) type of crime, (2)
time of crime, and (3) place of crime. The predictions the technology delivers are not dependent on a
particular type of map or additional, cumbersome log-ins.
Here's how it could work. SFPD sets up the data pipe and encrypted transmission to PredPol's servers
which process the crime and make the web interface available like usual. This is a totally normal Predpol
setup. The additional step is that SFPD then has your CDW software send requests to our servers, with a
special flag that lets the server know the person sending the request is actually a computer. Instead of
sending back our rich graphical interface, the server sends back simple text containing only the data
requested. The SFPD data warehouse software is then responsible for showing the predictions to analysts
and officers in whatever way you choose.

Rod ... Grants for Predictive Analytics? Re: Predictive Policing & SFPD Thursday
Meeting
History:
This message has been replied to.
Rod -
It was a pleasure seeing you on November 1st at your office to t alk more about predictive
policing. You are right that in-person meetings have a much greater r eward t han phone calls and
email s. George Mohler, Omar Qazi, and I all appreciate your time.
I'm writing to get information on the predictive policing grant that SFPD has gotten. Sacramento
PD is in a tight bind, illustrated by a November 4 New York Times story and could really use some
help. I 've been tal king t o Mike Edell in the analytics division and Depty Chief Dana Matthes.
Thanks!

Crime Increases in Sacramento
After Deep Cuts to Police Force
By ERICA GOODE
SACRAMENTO - At fi rst, it seemed j ust an unwelcome nod to frugality. Overtime for police
offi'cers was reduced. Vacant positions went unfill ed.
But each year brought more bad news for this city's Police Department. In 2011, faced with the
biggest budget cuts yet- $12.2 million -Chief Rick Braziel was forced to take drastic action: he
laid off sworn officers and civi lian employees; eliminated the vice, narcotics, financial crimes and
undercover gang squads, sending many detectives back to patrol ; and thinned the auto theft ,
forensics and canine units. Police officer s no longer r esponded to burglaries, misdemeanors or
minor traffic accidents.
Earlier this year, the traffic enforcement unit was disbanded. The department now conducts .
foll ow-up investigations for onl y the most serious crimes, like homicide and sexual assault.
"You reach the point where there is nothing left to cut," Chief Braziel sai d.
c:fanv orP/mail/rodcastill.nsf/(%24Inbox)/F918555474CCCCD73Al C208A5C.. . 4/2/ 13
Page 2 of7
The shrinking of Sacramento's police force has been extreme; the department has lost more t han
300 sworn officers and ci vilian staff members and more than 30 percent of its budget since 2008.
But at a time when many ci t ies are curtailing essential services like policing - the Los Angeles
Police Department said last week that it could lay off 160 ci vi lian employees by Jan. 1 - t he
cutbacks in t his sprawling city of 472,000 offer a window on t he potential consequences of such
economizing measures, criminal justice experts say.
"Sacramento may be a good ci ty to watch in terms of what we can predi ct for t he f uture," said
Chuck Wexler, the executive director of t he Police Executive Research Forum.
Noting that crime rates have plummeted across t he country in the last two decades, Mr. Wexler
sai d, "You could argue that the police have been doing something right ." But wit h budgets bei ng
cut , he continued, "police chiefs are caught between saying, 'Look what we have done,' and
having to rethink the strategies that have been successful."
Chief Braziel said he had tried to make the cuts strategically, making sure t hat t he public's
highest priority- having a police officer respond in a t imely fashion when a 911 call comes in -
is met and preserving a focus on violent crimes. ("There's no law that says you have to
investigate homicides, but you don't just st op investigating homicides," he said. ) Detectives
serve on regional task forces led by the F.B.I. that focus on gangs and t rafficking. To help
morale, Chief Braziel has also offered short-term rotations to patrol officers, providing some
variety now that thei r chances for promotion are severely limited.
" I could cry all day long about the budget cuts and the 30 percent and the loss of people and
everything else/' Chief Braziel said. " But it doesn't do any good because you get dealt a hand of
cards wi th a budget crisis and you' re playi ng stud poker - you can't give back the cards and say
deal me two or three more."
"You've got to figure out within the new rules of the game how to do it better," he said.
But he is not blind to t he effects of pari ng down a police force t o its core.
In 2011, Chief Braziel said, the cuts, in his opi nion, went past the ti pping point. While homicides
have remained steady, shootings ........ a more reliable indicator of gun violence - are up 48 percent
this year. Rapes, robberies, aggravated assaults, burglaries and vehicle t hefts have also
increased, though in smaller increments.
Complicating matters, the cutbacks have coi ncided with a flow of convicted offenders back into
the city as California, heeding a Supreme Court ruli ng, has reduced its prison population. Once
released, former inmates have less supervision - the county's probati on department also
suffered cuts.
h<+ .... //..,f""'";ln-1 <-fornr 4/2/ 13
Page 3 of7
Chief Bn;Jziel, an optimist by nature, said the reductions have in fact had some benefits - more
experienced officers on street patrols, for example. But the gaps are increasingly evident.
When a patrol officer stopped a car a few weeks ago and found the driver in possession of half a
pound of recently cooked methamphetamine, worth $20,000 on the street, there was no one to
spend the 10 hours it would take to write up and execute a search warrant for the man's
residence, despite the suspicion that a meth laboratory would be found there.
"It's frustrating," said the officer, Darrald Bryan, who had worked his way up to an investigative
job in the robbery unit but was sent back to patrol last year along with 24 other detectives, a
demotion that Involved a 5 percent pay cut, a switch to the graveyard shift in order to keep his
weekends off and the loss of his take-home car.
"You just don't have the manpower," said Officer Bryan, adding that the best he could do was
arrest the man for possession and sale of narcotics. Now that the gang squad is gone, patrol
officers take turns in 90-day assignments that focus on gang activity. But undercover work is a
thing of the past, and a highly successful program called Ceasefire, intended to reduce gang
violence, was halted for lack of money, staffing and community resources,
Sacramento has consistently ranked at the top for traffic accidents among cities of similar size in
California. But with the demise of the traffic enforcement unh, citations are down, volunteers
have to be called in for large-scale events like races and parades, and efforts to analyze the city's
most collision-prone intersections and address their hazards have been abandoned.
Teams of police officers- known as problem-oriented policing teams- once worked the city's
troubled neighborhoods, following up with residents, landlords and government offices to solve
problems identified on patrol. But those teams, too, were a casualty of the 2011 cuts.
"Would I rather be a drug dealer, a speeder or, if I was involved in the prostitution trade, would I
rather be involved in that today as opposed to four years ago? Absolutely/ said Lt. Justin Eklund
of the major crimes section. "The issue comes down to, 'If we have X amount of bodies, what are
we going to do?'"
Not every attempt to prioritize has worked out as planned. Burglaries had been dropped from the
list of crimes that officers responded to. But that policy has now been reversed, after patrol
officers heard complaints and residents resisted filing the online reports that were intended as a
substitute.
For many residents, said Deputy Chief Dana Matthes, " the one time in their life they have to call
the police is because their house .is burglarized, and we tell them: 'Oh, report that online. We
can't come out.' It doesn't send that customer service message that we' re there for them."

A local sales tax measure on the ballot in Tuesday's election could restore some financing for the
Police Department and other essential services in Sacramento. But Chief Braziel said the budget
crisis had forced the department to re-examine how it is organized and what its priorities should
be. Even when the economy relents, he said, some things may be done differently. "You've got to
have a business model," he said. "The world's changing, and you've got to change. You've got to
get out in front of it."
Bernard K. Melekian, the director of the Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented
Policing Services, said a similar rethinking was taking place across the country as departments
coped with dwindling budgets. Many are consolidating services or merging with other agencies to
form regional law enforcement authorities - in November, Camden, N.J., will close its
department, terminating 273 officers and ceding control to a county police force.
The result, Mr. Melekian said, will be significant shifts in how policing is practiced. Whether the
outcome will be simply an increase in efficiency or an increase in crime is anyone's guess.
"That's the big question that everybody is looking at," he said.

As far as implementation and integration, we can easily integrate with the Crime Data Warehouse
mapping. All we need from SFPD is a push of three pieces of data from your RMS: (1) type of crime, (2) time
of crime, and (3) place of crime. The predictions the technology delivers are not dependent on a particular type
of map or additional , cumbersome log-ins.
Here's how it could work. SFPD sets up the data pipe and encrypted transmission to PredPol's servers
which process the crime and make the web interface available like usual. This is a totally normal Predpol
setup. The additional step is that SFPD then has your COW software send requests to our servers, with a
special flag that lets the server know the person sending the request is actually a computer. Instead of sending
back our rich graphical interface, the server sends back simple text containing only t he data requested. The
SFPD data warehouse software is then responsible for showing the predictions to analysts and officers in
whatever way you choose.

. Great to catch up with you again last week. As to our call on predictive
policing, please find some additional information
Command Staff Presentation: Per your request, we will produce maps using your data
. for a presentation to command staff. Zach Friend of the Santa Cruz PO can join as can
George Mohler, Omar Qazi , and I.
Integration: We will want to determine that PredPol can be integrated in with SF PO's
web-based Crime Data Warehouse (to avoid logging in to two systems) . Our goal is
minimal work on your end.
Annual Licensing Fee: $150,000 with a 50% discount for signing up as one of the 15-20
early showcase cities nationally and a commitment for collaboration over the next three
years. There are no new hires or new equipment required. The only additional cost
:might involve providing mapping tools in addition to the basic predictive analysis. This
:will become more clear as our conversations continue.

The short answer: Integration of predictions and mapping are possible and not difficul t from our perspective. There are, in fact, several ways
to deliver the predictions, including, ror example, daily emails to officers with reports. Regardless, we think it's a great idea because SFPD
would have all PredPol's features and a custom interface where you can see every1hlng together.
We 'recommend a meeting with you (and even Crime Data Warehouse) to talk through the details.
Here's how it could work. SFPD sets up the data pipe and do encrypted transmission to PredPol' s servers which process the cri me and

Hi Donnie - thank you very much for following up - and for being patient. Here is the

Crime Data Warehouse. This is huge at SFPD considering we were on paper reports a

Here is my dilemma. I want to use your software to "predict crime and to provide
actionable proactive staffing of hotspots. However, how are the two maps to be

Hello again. We've been moving along really well at PredPol, so I want to check
in with you again and re-confirm (based on your questions below) that we can
easily integrate with the Crime Data Warehouse mapping. This is because we
provide predictions of time and place to send officers. Those predictions are
notdependent on a particular type of map, only that SFPD push three pieces of
data from your RMS: (1) type of crime, (2) time of crime, and (3) place of
crime.
We would love to take you up on your offer for another meeting to dive into the
details. Our technology is really much simpler than you might think to deploy,
and you'll remember that our single, annual price of $75,000 that Chief Suhr
mentioned in the Chronicle in August is the only cost to you.
I have provided a log-in below my signature to see Santa Cruz's tool at work.
I've also provided Zach Friend's contact information again.
What does your schedule look like over the next two weeks?
All the best,
Donnie

The short answer: lnlegrati on of predicti ons and mapping are possible and not difficult from our perspective. There are, in fact, several ways to
deliver the predi clions, including, for example, daily emails to officers with reports. Regardless, we t hink it's a great idea because SFPD would
have all PredPol's features and a custom interface where you can see everything together.
We recommend a meeting with you (and even Crime Data Warehouse) to talk through the details.
Here's how it could work. SFPD sets up the data pipe and do encrypted t ransmi ssion to PredPol's servers which process the crime and make the
web i nterface available like usual. This is a totally normal Predpol setup. The additional step i s that SFPD then has your data warehouse software
send requests to our servers, with a special flag that lets the server know the person sending the request is actually a computer. Instead of
sending back our rich graphical interface, the server sends back simple text containing only the data requesled. The SFPD data warehouse
software is then responsible for showing the predicti on data to officers in whatever way you choose.
1 have copied Dr. George Mohler and Omar Qazi so that they can join our di scussion and coordinate schedul es.

Hi Donnie- thank you very much for following up- and for being.patient. Here is the
dilemma I am in. We have actually mapped our crime data live onto maps within our Crime
Data Warehouse. This is huge at SFPD considering we were on paper reports a few
months ago. The crime is mapped instantaneously and crime locations are gee-coded so
they are precise.
Here is my dilemma. I want to use your software to "predict" crime and to provide
actionable proactive staffing of hotspots. However, how are the two maps to be reconciled?
They will look different, one will allow you to click on the dot and see the police report and
the other won't, etc. Plus we have the issue of how to create a proper firewall to give you
our data and set up daily feed etc.
Do you ever lease the technology so we could run it internally? How are other depts using
two different mapping systems? I wanted to get a more robust version of our map done and
then I was going to call a meeting with you and your team to reconcile this but what the
heck I will put it in email.
Let me know your thoughts.

Hi Donnie - Homicide is a priority in the department - and if it is not there it
would just beg the question why not. It would be better if we could include.
Are you saying that you need us to somehow translate our crime types into

and crime type.
Dates are January 1, 2010 to the present.
The crimes we predict are burglary (res, comm., auto), auto theft,
theft, robbery/ assault

battery
1

Once we agree to a contract, the csv file transfer will be replaced

Unfortul'lately 1 don 't have much experience wi th ODI, but aft e r revi ewing some
product documentation I think all you have to do is :
1. Create a "model'' that contains the data you want to send PredPol this should be
incident data (Crime Report.s i n RMS ) for the last five - 10 years.
2. Try and get the model to incorporate the foll owing data field:
Place -- Actress and I or Latitude + longitude
Tiwe -- Single event t i me or begin_time, end_time range
Type -- A penal code section or violation code we can use to the type of
crime
Record Number -- To keep track of records , some uni que number that identifies the
record
District -- The City of San Francisco district of the incident .
Event Description -- Other description of the event
3. Ha ve the system run the j ar fil e , and p r ovi de the cqrrect connection
information to the appl ication -- I can help you with this part .

PredPol Setup Final Step
Rod and Steve,
Hope everything i s going wel l . I'm pl eased to report that we ' ve
fini shed setting up the background infrastructur e for San Franci sco
and are ready to process data and generate predictions . I a l r eady gave
Steve a copy of the software used t o securely pass data through
predict i on servers, pre- configured with San Francisco's connection
informat ion.
We can li terally start predictions for you tomorrow if the
software is hooked up properly to a database view. I've talked to o ur
other founders about this, and as Bay P.rea residents we're really
excited to be abl e to share this with you as soon as you ' re ready . Let
us know what we can do to help ycu complete this last step.

All,
Hope everything is going well with San Francisco and Oracle. I'm still working through the
background process, but I though_t I'd send you some resources to help you get started
integrating PredPol with San Francisco's Crime Data Warehouse.
Attached is a Data Processing Overview for PredPol, as well as the data pipe software used to
transmit records.
To use the data pipe:
1. Extract the attached zip file using the password "predpol4oracle".
2. Test your connection to the oracle database by running 'java -jar
ConnectionTest.jar "connection_string" "username" "password"
3. Run the data pipe using jav9 -jar PredPol.jar
After the data pipe is running, we will work together on field mappings to correctly process the
data.
Shoot me an email or give me a call if you have any questions.

Data Processing Overview
Prepared for San Francisco Police Department
Data Processing Overview 1 PredPol Confidential
DESIGNED FOR ADVANCED ANALYTICS
At Predpol, we believe that every law enforcement should have access to advanced
data analytics. That's why we've designed our prediction systems to be simple and
secure right out of the box. By taking advantage of Predpol's advanced data center in
Dallas, Texas; law enforcement gains access to vast computational resources without
any of the costs typically associated with building, maintaining and securing a large
data center over time. In this document, the prediction data processing workflow is
detailed from end to end.
The Data Pipe and Your Database
The process begins with the data pipe, a simple Java process that will run on a server
within your network. Though any machine capable of running Java applications should
suffice, we recommend choosing a machine with at least 512MB of RAM for 32 bit
systems, or 1 GB of RAM for 64 bit systems. The software should be installed on a
machine with access to your RMS Relational Database Server. Your staff will need to
set up an account to connect to the relational database with appropriately limited
access permissions. This account should be limited to read only access to only the
necessary tables or views.
We recognize that infrastructure quality and staff technical expertise vary greatly from
place to place. For this reason, we've included simpler data import options to support
any kind of infrastructure. If your staff is unable to provision database access as
described above, the data pipe can accept any primitive data exchange format, such
as CSV. In this setup, an external program will save a "snapshot" of your data to disk at
regular intervals to a fixed location. The data pipe will then read from this file at regul ar
intervals as if it were your relational database using a CSV JDBC adapter.
WARNING
Predpol does not recommend data exchange using simple formats like CSV. Dumping data to disk at regular
intervals allows any malicious user with access to the file system to see a complete history of every incident that
occurred in your jurisdiction. In contrast, relational databases require authentication for every connection, only
transfer the latest changes rather than full data, and allow RMS Servers to maintain detailed logs of what was
accessed. With JDBC connections, small amounts of data are only stored in RAM for a few seconds at a time. With
CSV, unencrypted complete data will be visible on the system hard disk at all times. If you choose CSV for its
simplicity and ease of use, Predpol should not be held liable for any data loss or interception related to non-Predpol
software dumping CSV to disk, including but not limited to vulnerabilities in non-Predpol software, operating
systems, or local networks. At the time of writing, every Predpol customer has chosen to interface directly with the
data pipe using JDBC.
Data Processing Overview 1 PredPol Confidential 2
Encryption and Propagation
Once a data store has been establisheq and connected to the data pipe, the
encryption and propagation process will begin. The data store is required to include
data for the begin end date-time, crime type, address, event description,
record number, and district number of each incident record. Thls is the only information
required by Predpol, and all police personal data will. be left untouched. The data pipe
will ask only for records that were changed since the last query (unless you are using a
primitive data store), and will never query for any data beyond what is needed. In order
to prevent unauthorized modification of the data query, every data pipe configuration
file is cryptographically signed vyith RSA. This ensures that only Predpol can modify
behavior of the data pipe.
After data is retrieved from the data store, a 256 bit AES key is chosen using a
cryptographically secure random number generator from the Java runtime library. The
key is chosen from the full key space of 2A256 possible keys. A new key is chosen
randomly once for every 250 records or less. For example, if the data pipe needs to
process 1050 records, it will split the data into five pieces, each with its own randomly
generated key. Since each small piece requires its own key for decryption, a total of
five keys are needed to entirely reconstruct the original data.
How secure is 256 bit AES?
Advanced Encryption Standard, or AES, is a specification for encryption of electronic data established through a
contest held by the United States federal government. AES is a symmetric cipher that encrypts data using a 256 bit
key. Thus, there are 2
25
6 (1. 1579 x 1 077) possible keys. If an attacker with a super computer capable of processing 1
trill ion decryption attempts per second were to try and brute force decryption, it would take 3.669 x 1Q57 years.
That's about 2. 7 x 10
47
times longer than the age of the universe, all to decipher the time, place, and crime type of
250 records. Furthermore, the AES encrypted data is encrypted once agafn before being transmitted over the wire.
Protecting your data is our highest priority, and we fol low new developments in security closely to keep PredPol safe.
The encryption keys used to encrypt each piece of data will be reconstructed at
Predpol's data center using 2048 bit RSA encryption with pre-shared keys generated
at installation time. In essence, the combination of AES and RSA creates a "direct line"
to Predpol's prediction servers, allowing the data pipe and Predpol's prediction servers
to communicate freely Without the threat of interception. After the results of the two
encryption steps are combined to form a single encrypted data payload, the raw data
and encryptions keys are wiped from RAM. The resulting encrypted data payload can
only be understood by Predpol's prediction severs. At this point, even the data pipe
that generated the payload can no longer decipher it. All unencrypted data has now
been flushed from memory and is present nowhere on the machine.
Data Processing Overview 1 PredPol Confidential 3
The data pipe is responsible for properly propagating the data to Predpol's data center.
Before beginning, all data, including the request information itself, is encrypted once
more using TLS. The data pipe has been hardcoded to send requests only to Predpol 's
data center. Once Predpol 's data centers have processed the data, the servers will
return a set of response values to the data pipe.
Two request I response values are of particular interest to us. Included with every
request is an encrypted authentication string, which is used at the data center to
determine whether the requesting client is valid. On response, the data center is
expected to return the correct response to the authentication string. Not only can the
server be sure that the cli ent is valid, but the client can be sure that the server is truly a
. .
valid PredPol server designated to receive data. Predpol then goes one step further: at
request , a unique random value is generated, encrypted, and sent to the server. The
server is then expected to decrypt and return the original random naught value in its
response. This random value uniquely fingerprints each request I response pair so that
a valid response can not be saved and used for malicious purposes like blocking data
flow.
Should the data pipe or relay detect any irregularity in their data transmission
protocols, the data pipe will halt immediately until the problem can be reviewed by an
engineer at P'redpol. With these protections in place, outside interception of data is
vi rtually impossible.
Prediction Computation
After data has been received by Predpol's servers, it is processed and sorted into a
relational database. No personal data is collected or stored. A full database table
schema is included on the final page. No police data beyond what is described in t he
schema is stored or accessed in any way at this time. All sensitive data wil l be
encrypted on disk until it is required. As they are needed, subsets of the data are
retrieved from the database and processed through Predpol's prediction servers. The
prediction servers wi ll cache intermediate prediction results in a separate relat ional
database similar to the one used to buffer input data. All database servers have been
disconnected from the internet, and have remote login disabled as well. Your finalized
prediction results are calculated in real time as you interface with the web application.
Intermediate prediction data is retained indefinitely to allow you to access past data,
provide feedback on prediction effectiveness as well as to allow for improvements in
the algorithm over time.
Data Processing Overview / PredPol Confidential 4
Physical security is overseen by Rackspace, a recognized industry leader in advanced
data center management and security. Together with NASA. Rackspace has developed
an open specification for a modern data center called OpenStack. As such, Predpol is
capable of running in any OpenStack compliant data center. As Rackspace has
developed the standard themselves, and is recognized as a leader in this space,
Predpol has chosen to partner with Rackspace for physical security and management
at this time.
Support and Maintenance
For security, remote access to our prediction has been severely limited. Root
login is disabled altogether, and remote capable users Qre limited to only a few relevant
directories for support and maintenance. Remote login using passwords has been
disabled in favor of RSA key based authentication, which ensures that logins can only
be attempted by designated .Predpol support staff. All remote communication is
encrypted with 2048 bit RSA, using a secure shell (SSH2).
Security updates and features enhancements will be pushed into the data center
remotely tram time to time at no additional charge. To prevent human error and
unauthorized access, all remote updates are by a secure automated
deployment system utilizing a secure shell (SSH2). The automated deployment system
will automatically test updates to make sure they function properly before taking the
system live, ensuring that technical errors will not affect the availability of Predpol.
Additional Questions
Security is incredibly important to us at Predpol . If you have any additional questions
regarding the architecture of our advanced prediction systems, please feel free to

Susan,
We can map our crime types into the required categories on the
basis of our incodes. It won't take long to write a process to do so.

Hi Donnie - Homicide is a priority in the department - and if it is
not there it would just beg the question why not. It would be
better if we could include. Are you saying that you need us to
somehow translate our crime types into one of the specific crime
types you have below? That would be some kind of manual
exercise. Rod, what do you think? Thanks both.

not for this demo
there is probably not enough data available in the short time
window of data we will use
but ... how much a priority is homicide for you for this demo?

Susan -
Next steps for the San Francisco - PredPol proof of
concept are:
We need a csv file crime report data including address,
date, t ime and crime type.
Dates are January 1, 2010 to the present.
The crimes we predict are burglary (res, comm., auto),
auto theft, theft, robbery, assault, battery, and drug
crime.
Once we agree to a contract, the csv file transfer will be
replaced with a more flexible & less labor-intensive data
pipe.
Omar Qazi is your point person to implement this no-
charge demo< omar@predpol.com>. He is copied here
to get things moving.
All the best,
Donnie

Subj ect : Predictive Policing & SFPD Foll ow-Up
Susan -
of b
Great to catch up with you again last week._ As follow-up
to our call on predictive policing, please find some
addit ional information
Command Staff Presentation: Per your request, we will
produce maps using your.' data for a presentation to
command staff. Zach Friend of the Santa Cruz PD can
join as can George Mohler, Omar Qazi, and I.
Integration: We will want to determine that PredPol can
be integrated in with SFPD's web-based Crime Data
Warehouse (to avoid logging in to t wo systems). Our
goal is minimal work on your end.
Annual Licensing Fee: $150,000 with a 50/o discount for
signing up as one of the 15-20 early showcase cities
nationally and a commitment for coll aborat ion over the
next three years. There are no new hires or new
equipment required. The only additional cost might
involve providing mapping tools in addition to the basic
predictive analysis. This will become more clear as our
conversations continue.
