Mayor London Breed is asking the Board of Supervisors to approve a $27 million budget supplemental to fund police overtime citywide.
The money would also go toward recruiting more officers and adding more prosecutors as well as extending the city's Ambassador program.What happens in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood often has repercussions in the rest of the city.Push to fast-track San Francisco police commissioner reappointment draws criticism
"We are short 541 cops, and we are feeling it. Because as I said, it's not just about showing up and the arrest, it's also about the investigation," Breed said. District Attorney Brooke Jenkins says since she took office, the number of cases filed for drug sales has doubled, but it all comes at a cost.
"I shouldn't have to take prosecutors off murder cases. I shouldn't have to take prosecutors off of vicious assaults against our elderly community in order to staff these cases," Jenkins said. The previous District Attorney, Chesa Boudin, came under fire for failing to prosecute many drug dealers coming from Central America, whom he said were themselves victims of trafficking by drug lords in their countries.
