Or must be requested directly through Shotspotter.
Additionally, your request for " 2. All 911 calls to the police department of interest." is overly broad. if you wish to amend this portion of the request, please submit a new request, also understanding that any 911 calls are either publicly available through the above data set or may be requested through a public records request submitted to the San Francisco Department of Emergency Management.

Sincerely,

Sergeant Kathryn Winters
