'We Need to Take Back Our Tenderloin': SF Mayor London Breed Takes Aim at Crime Surge
San Francisco Mayor London Breed introduced on Tuesday a set of public safety initiatives that she said were aimed at creating "a safer San Francisco."
The plan aims to shake up the operations of illegal street vendors, revise regulations pertaining to surveillance technology and secure emergency police funding. Breed's safety strategy also seeks to address crime in the city's Tenderloin neighborhood through the launching of an emergency intervention strategy.
Breed wrote in a Tuesday Medium post that her office has instructed the city's Department of Emergency Management to "bring the same level of multi-agency coordination, and relentless focus on health and safety, to the Tenderloin" as it did to San Francisco in the city's COVID-19 response.
"What's happening in the Tenderloin needs to end," Breed wrote. She described meeting families from the neighborhood who said they have dealt with drug dealers threatening elderly women and shootings near the parks where they take their children to play.
