S.F. youth groups want more juvenile protections from police
Briefly

"We believe that revisions ... are long overdue and commend the San Francisco Police Department on its efforts to update this policy. However, further revisions are needed, as portions of the current proposed version are out of compliance with the law and out of step with best practices in the field."
"The [policy's] procedures for criminal offenses for youth 12 years or older have improved, but any new policy must go further to guide members in pursuing alternatives that are less restrictive than arrest and incarceration."
