There is a significant struggle around Police staffing and more needs to be done. Individuals who refuse help with their addiction or mental health issues must be addressed since they cannot be allowed to terrorize communities or disrupt families and businesses. The Mayor indicated there will be local programs enacted to put a stop to this disruptive behavior. She encouraged the Board to pass the public safety budget without the traditional reductions during the annual budget process this year and support the arrests for those struggling with addiction to get them the help they desperately need. This matter requires City leadership to come together and put aside personal differences to get to a better place and put an end to open air drug dealing. President Peskin then followed up with the following question: Coordination between the administrative and legislative branches is key. Can we put something together to address open air drug dealing, with all departments, in one place, and in real time within the next 90 days? Mayor Breed responded that the Board should be discouraged from micromanaging department processes that make it impossible for them to complete their duties. The Department of Emergency Management is tasked with the oversight and coordination of emergencies and should be allowed to do that. She is willing to do whatever is necessary and is happy to work with the Board to allocate resources. Police Department staffing needs to be addressed and the Board must change their attitude towards those who go out and put their lives on the line to the job. Compassion is killing people in this instance and we need to put forth some tough love because it’s currently too easy for them to continue living in these conditions and perpetuating this behavior. Mayor Breed did not ask any follow-up questions related to this topic. Following public comment this matter was filed. No further action was taken.
