The San Francisco Police Court was a municipal-level court that handled minor offenses, as well as initial handling of serious
offenses that were subsequently referred to the Superior Court. The Deputy County Clerk served as the ex-officio Clerk of
the Police Court. In 1905, there were four Police Court departments, each with a presiding judge.
