Hate Crimes and Incidents How to Report Hate Crimes and Incidents and Get Help
What Is a Hate Incident?
A hate incident is non-criminal conduct that is motivated by hatred or bigotry and directed at any individual, residence, house of worship, institution, or business expressly because of the victim's real or perceived race, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, gender, or disability. Hate incidents also include conduct directed against an individual or group because of their association or advocacy on behalf of a member or members of a protected class.
A hate incident might include hate speech, display of offensive materials on one's property, the distribution of hate materials in public places and the posting of hate materials that does not result in property damage. The freedoms guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, such as freedom of speech, allow hateful rhetoric as long as it does not interfere with the civil rights of others. If this type of behavior escalates to threats or criminal activity against a person or property, then it would be classified as a hate crime.

The Homeless Services Outreach Unit is currently comprised of three full-time civilian employees. Regular working hours for the team are Monday through every other Saturday.
While the Homeless Services Unit is responsible for many functions, most often you can find the team out in the community helping the unhoused population connect with resources. These resources include but are not limited to: housing vouchers, behavioral/mental health clinicians, social workers and various forms of economic aid. In addition to facilitating the resources, the team directly works to help clients fill out identification paperwork, establish mail, access basic hygiene supplies/needs, and food.
The City is aware of the growing concern around homelessness within Davis and the surrounding area. While we take every complaint and need seriously, the volume of requests and federal case law do not always result in an expedient solution. The issues surrounding homelessness are complex and we are happy to discuss them with you should you have questions. Please contact the team at homelessoutreach@cityofdavis.org for more information.
If you have concerns about encampments, please contact code enforcement at codecompliance@cityofdavis.org. The Homeless Outreach Unit works directly with Code Enforcement to outreach in areas where camp cleanups must occur due to public health and safety issues.
Independent Police Auditor
In 2006, the City Council created a part-time Independent Police Auditor (IPA) position. The Davis Independent Police Auditor is an independent entity hired to assist with concerns about the police department and to make recommendations to improve the delivery of police services. The Police Auditor reviews personnel complaint investigations, takes personnel complaints about the Police Department from people who do not feel comfortable going directly to the Department, and interacts with community members and organizations.
Michael Gennaco, the Independent Police Auditor may be contacted by email at policeauditor@cityofdavis.org
If you wish to make a citizen’s complaint about a specific interaction with the Police Department, you must fill out a citizen complaint form. This form is also available at the Davis Police Department, and at the City Manager's Office in City Hall. If you return a citizen’s complaint to the Independent Police Auditor, it will be forwarded to the police department for formal resolution. The Police Auditor can help guide you through the complaint process.
Details about commending quality performance, submitting a complaint, and the Alternative Conflict Resolution program can be found on the Contact Us page.
Police Auditor Reports
Various reports completed by the Independent Police Auditor are available for review.
Please note that the dates below indicate when the IPA report was issued, not when any referenced incidents occurred.

What is an Officer-Involved Critical Incident?
Definition:
AB 748Starting on July 1, 2019, video and audio recordings that relate to a “critical incident” are no longer exempt from disclosure under the California Public Records Act. A “critical incident” is defined as either 1) an incident involving the discharge of a firearm at a person by a peace officer or custodial officer; or 2) an incident in which the use of force by a peace officer or custodial officer against a person resulted in death or great bodily injury. The timing of the disclosure is subject to the deadlines already in place in the Public Records Act, except the agency may take additional time, as specified in amended Government Code sections 7923.600-7923.625, formerly 6254(f), if the agency demonstrates that disclosure would substantially interfere with an active criminal or administrative investigation. However, specific requirements are outlined in Government Code section 7923.625, formerly 6254(f)(4)(A) to justify the delay in disclosure.
Examples List:
Examples of a critical incident include, although not limited to, the following:- An incident involving the discharge of a firearm at a person by a peace officer.
- An incident in which the use of force by a peace officer against a person resulted in death or great bodily injury.
- Any incident resulting in death or great bodily injury, including but not limited to: vehicle pursuits and collisions; where a person was in police custody; and physical altercations with a police employee.
Great Bodily Injury: For the purpose of this protocol, great bodily injury (GBI) means a significant or substantial physical injury (Penal Code § 12022.7) GBI includes, but is not limited to, gunshot wounds or injuries that create a substantial risk of death, cause serious disfigurement, or result in the loss or impairment of a bodily function, whether temporary or permanent, consistent with CA POST use-of-force guidelines.
Response Protocol Overview and General Timeline
- Immediate Response and Securing the Scene Officers stabilize the incident, address any ongoing threat, preserve life, and secure the scene to protect evidence and ensure the safety of all involved.
- Emergency Medical Response Medical aid is provided as quickly as possible, including officer-rendered first aid and coordination with fire and EMS personnel for treatment and transport.
- Notification of Command Staff Supervisors and command staff are promptly notified so they can assume oversight, coordinate resources, and ensure compliance with required protocols.
- Internal Affairs and Criminal Investigation Separate administrative and criminal investigative processes are initiated to examine the incident, preserve integrity, and gather all relevant facts and evidence. This may include involvement by the California Department of Justice for certain incidents that require independent or state-level investigation (AB 1506).
- District Attorney or Independent Investigation The incident is referred, as required, for external review by the District Attorney and/or another authorized independent investigative body to ensure impartiality and legal compliance. Independent oversight may also be provided by the Independent Police Auditor.
- Administrative Review The Department conducts a formal review of policy compliance, tactics, training, supervision, and any identified organizational issues arising from the incident.
- Community Notification and Media Briefing The Department provides timely, legally appropriate public information to promote transparency, maintain public trust, and address community concerns. The Department will initiate communication as soon as practicable, consistent with investigative integrity, legal requirements, and coordination with investigative partners.
Transparency & Accountability
Body-Worn Camera Policy:
The Davis Police Department requires all police officers to wear and use body-worn cameras. Additionally, marked patrol vehicles are also equipped with in-car cameras.
Release of Video Footage & Reports:
Under California Assembly Bill 748 (AB 748), law enforcement agencies are required to release audio or video recordings related to a critical incident, such as an officer-involved shooting or use of force resulting in death or great bodily injury, within 45 days of the incident.However, the release can be delayed for up to 90 days if the agency demonstrates that disclosure would substantially interfere with an active investigation. Any delay beyond 45 days must be accompanied by a written explanation, and additional extensions must be justified every 30 days.
AB 748 aims to enhance transparency while balancing the integrity of ongoing investigations and the privacy of individuals involved.
Independent Oversight:
The Davis Police Department operates under a robust framework of oversight to ensure transparency, accountability, and public trust. Multiple independent entities monitor the Department's policies, practices, and conduct. These include the Police Accountability Commission, which provides community-based accountability for law enforcement in the City; an Independent Police Auditor, who provides independent analysis of internal investigations, certain use-of-force incidents, and Departmental policies; and the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office, which evaluates officer-involved shootings and potential criminal misconduct. In cases involving civil rights or broader systemic issues, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) may also conduct investigations. This multilayered oversight structure reflects the Davis Police Department’s commitment to integrity, community accountability, and continuous improvement.AB 1506:
Officer-Involved Shooting Investigations and Reviews by the California Department of Justice. Pursuant to California Assembly Bill 1506 (AB 1506), the California Department of Justice (DOJ) is required to investigate all incidents of an officer-involved shooting resulting in the death of an unarmed civilian in the state.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Who initiates the officer-involved critical incident response protocol?
- Depending on the circumstances, the Davis Police Department will request assistance from another law enforcement agency in Yolo County. The Yolo County Protocol for Response to Officer-Involved Critical Incidents is a comprehensive framework designed to ensure transparency, accountability, and public trust in the aftermath of incidents where law enforcement officers' actions result in injury or death. This protocol is primarily managed by the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office, which conducts independent investigations and legal reviews of such incidents.
- What is the role of the District Attorney?
- The District Attorney’s Office conducts an independent review of the incident to determine whether the use of force was lawful under California law.
- When does the California Department of Justice (DOJ) investigate?
- Under California law (AB 1506), the DOJ is required to investigate certain officer-involved shootings, including incidents involving the death of an unarmed civilian.
- What is the role of Internal Affairs?

Safe Storage of Firearms
Safe and secure firearm storage is an essential part of home and personal safety. With more guns in more homes due to an unprecedented surge in gun sales over the last several years, it’s more important than ever for everyone to know how secure storage protects others. 4.6 million American children live in homes with guns that are both loaded and unlocked and every year, nearly 700 children, 17 and under, die by suicide with a gun. In 2020, gun suicide among children ages 17 and under reached the highest rate in more than 20 years and firearms became the leading cause of death among children in the United States. Storing firearms securely, both inside homes and in vehicles, can help prevent these tragedies and keep us all safe.
Background
On July 20, 2022 the City of Davis announced that the Davis City Council voted unanimously to pass an ordinance concerning the safe storage of firearms. The ordinance was fully passed on August 30, 2022, and went into effect on September 29, 2022.
State law requires that all firearms sold or transferred in California either be equipped with California Department of Justice-approved safety locks or be accompanied by proof that the buyer owns a Department of Justice-approved safe, however there is no universal requirement for owners to actually use these locks or safes nor is there a requirement covering firearms purchased out-of-state.
The Davis ordinance requires a person who keeps a firearm in a residence to safely store the firearm by either placing the firearm in a locked container or by using a firearm safety device, either of which has been approved by the California Department of Justice for the safe storage of that particular firearm. If the firearm is not locked, the firearm owner must have it in their close proximity and control.
The ordinance does not prohibit authorized firearm owners from accessing or using their firearms, from carrying firearms on their persons, transporting their firearms, or from keeping a firearm in their immediate possession and control.
State law requires all persons to securely store handguns when leaving them in unattended vehicles, requiring handguns to be secured either in a locked trunk, in a locked container that is placed out of plain view or permanently affixed to the vehicle’s interior, or in a locked utility box that is permanently affixed to the bed of a pickup truck or other vehicle that does not have a trunk (see California Penal Code section 25140). The Davis ordinance extends the in-vehicle firearm locking requirements to all firearms irrespective of firearm type.
Violations of the ordinance may be prosecuted first as an infraction, then as a misdemeanor for repeated violations within a one-year period. Violations would also constitute a nuisance and may be handled through administrative fines and abatement proceedings.
The Safe Storage of Firearms ordinance is enforced like any other law that regulates conduct inside the home or vehicle. Absent exigent circumstances, the Police Department will not proactively check whether the ordinance is being violated. It would be enforced when the officers are already lawfully in a residence or contacting persons in a vehicle for other lawful reasons.
If residents have any questions about the Safe Storage of Firearms ordinance, please contact the Davis Police Department at policeweb@cityofdavis.org or by calling 530-747-5405.
Full Ordinance
The full ordinance can be found in the City of Davis Municipal Code Article 26.09.
Resources
Free Gun Locks
The Davis Police Department has a supply of free gun locks that meet the ordinance specifications through Project Child Safe. The locks can be picked up at the Davis Police Department Monday through Thursday from 10:00 am to 5:30 pm.
Moms Demand Action (MDA)
Moms Demand Action is an organization working for increase public safety measures against gun violence. Their website has information regarding the safe storage of firearms.
Be SMART
The Be SMART campaign was launched to raise awareness that secure gun storage—storing guns locked, unloaded and separate from ammunition—can save children’s lives. Be SMART emphasizes that it’s an adult responsibility to keep kids from accessing guns, and that every adult can play a role in keeping kids and communities safer
Strategic Planning is the foundation for the future of any organization. The Davis Police Department's Strategic Plan leads to the orientation and clarity necessary for every member of the organization to know what is expected of them, their work groups, and the organization as a whole. When shared outside the organization, it informs the community of both the big picture perspective necessary to understand the depth, breadth and importance of what is being done in their names, as well as being specific enough to explain the day to day business that occurs.
Strategic Plan 2024-2027 (last update:2/10/2026)
Surveillance Technology
“What is Surveillance Technology?”
Surveillance technology means any software, electronic device, system utilizing an electronic device or similar used, designed, or primarily intended to collect, retain, process, or share audio, electronic, visual, location, thermal, olfactory or similar information specifically associated with, or capable of being associated with, any individual or group by a city department. Examples of surveillance technology include, but are not limited to, the following: cell site simulators (Stingrays); automatic license plate readers; gunshot detectors (ShotSpotter); facial recognition software; gait analysis software; video cameras that record audio or video and can transmit or be remotely accessed. It also includes software designed to monitor social media services or forecast criminal activity or criminality and biometric identification hardware or software.
What is the purpose of the City of Davis Surveillance Technology Ordinance?
The purpose and intent of the Surveillance Technology Ordinance is to impose safeguards to protect civil liberties and civil rights before any surveillance technology is deployed. Any decision to use surveillance technology must be balanced with the need to: investigate and prevent crimes; protect crime victims and society from those who commit crimes; protect civil rights and civil liberties, including privacy and free expression; and the costs to the city. Proper transparency, oversight and accountability for the acquisition and use of surveillance technology is fundamental to protecting the rights and civil liberties, including privacy and free expression, of all people.
The Municipal Code Article 26.07 addresses Surveillance Technology.
What surveillance technology might the City of Davis employ in law enforcement activities?
- Accurint
- Body-Worn and In-Car Cameras
- Care Track
- Cellebrite
- Covert Personal Recording Device
- Crisis Negotiation Equipment
- Explosive Ordnance Disposal Robot
