Mayor London Breed wants $27.6 million in additional funding for the city's police force in the wake of soaring overtime costs from the combination of a shortage of officers and special deployments targeting crime hot spots in San Francisco.
The supplemental funds will ensure that officers are able to continue to respond to the basic needs and priority concerns facing the city -- a proposal backed by Supervisors Catherine Stefani, Rafael Mandelman, Matt Dorsey, and Joel Engardio.
Officials said overtime have soared over the last year as the city has launched priority initiatives like San Francisco's tourism deployments, operations in the crime-ridden Tenderloin neighborhood and violence reduction work throughout the city. "We need officers responding to break-ins, breaking up the open-air drug dealing in the Tenderloin, and addressing the shootings and violent crimes in our neighborhoods," Breed said."This funding is essential for keeping our city safe."
