And today the San Francisco jail population is 722. Crime rate is still falling.https://twitter.com/chesaboudin/status/1247058578113843201 …
The crime data is based on incident arrest, not arrest rate. This is powerful evidence that, during shelter in place, rapid decarceration, at least temporarily, will not cause a spike in crime as so many people fear mongered. Every jurisdiction should be following SF's lead.

Can you clarify what the difference is between incident arrest vs arrest rate? So if there’s no arrest, is the incident not counted? For example - cars with smashed windows, theft under $950, etc. Is there any info about the types of 911/311 calls in SF?

Incident rate is based on the number of police reports so it doesn't matter if a suspect is ever identified. You can find police calls for service here: https://data.sfgov.org/Public-Safety/Police-Department-Calls-for-Service/hz9m-tj6z … 311 calls: https://data.sfgov.org/City-Infrastructure/311-Cases/vw6y-z8j6 …
