The San Francisco Police Department has launched a new and intensive strategy to combat auto burglaries and to hold accountable the perpetrators who callously prey on the city’s residents and visitors, Police Chief Bill Scott announced Thursday.
Effective immediately, the SFPD has increased visible uniformed police patrols in areas of the city where these crimes are most pervasive, including, but not limited to, the Palace of Fine Arts, Alamo Square and Fisherman’s Wharf.
Our world-class sites draw visitors from around the world, but unfortunately, organized criminals also converge on these areas to victimize people. With more visible patrols, we will work to deter and arrest these criminals.
The increased uniformed patrols will supplement the work of our plainclothes teams who are consistently making arrests in these cases.
