Yesterday, January 29th, 2010 I attended the press conference held at the Hall of Justice where the Chief and the Mayor laid out thier plans for reductions in violent crime in the City over the next year.
I attended to listen for the mandates that would be required of San Francisco Safety Awareness for Everyone (SF SAFE) which I am currently the VP of the Board of Directors.
The community outreach component of the PD under Chief Gascon is entral to the mission and SAFE is poised to hel deliver on many of the initiatives. SAFE has worked for over 30 years in the community building relationshipsbetween the PD and the members of the PD. It will continue its work as the 10 district stations create thier own Citizen Advisory Boards that meet monthly and as the Chief builds his own stratigic citizen advisory board that will meet quarterly.
The Chief and the major are committed to the modern philosophy of Community Policing. The best article I’ve read is from the Department of Justice http://www.cops.usdoj.gov/files/RIC/Publications/e030917193-CP-Defined.pdf
The community needs your support. Read about the changes and get behind it so that we can make sure it succeeds.
