大家在視頻和報導上都看過一些犯罪份子,有時更成群結伴在市內公然盜竊的事件。我們不是談論年輕人偷糖果或因飢餓而偷麵包的人。我們要談論的是有組織犯罪集團在大家所依賴的藥房和小商業內搶掠等不法行為。

可悲的是 – 有組織零售犯罪活動並不是一個新問題。一些人看到大型零售商受到搶掠,就認為這些店舖可以對此應付有如。又有些人可能不在乎小商店是否須要僱用額外的保安人員或在夜間為賊人搶掠。

這些都不是營商應該付出的代價 – 而這些市內發生的事件是絕對不能接受。給予機會和同情心故然重要,但歸根結底,當一些人越過底線時,就需要為所作行為承擔後果。我們正在盡一切努力製止這些犯罪行為並追究賊人的責任。

正因如此,我們在上星期宣布了一項由三藩市警察局與本地零售商和地區執法機構合作牽頭的新措施。該計劃的重點是增加報告、調查和解決零售盜竊案件以及助長這些案件的上游犯罪組織。

該計劃包含三個主要重點:

擴大和重新分配警察調查資源

將三藩市警察局有組織零售犯罪部門的調查人員從 2 名增加到 5 名,並增加一名專責隊長,以更好地調查本地案件,並與加州公路巡警的有組織零售犯罪特別工作組合作

公共和私人撥款部署的策略重組

三藩市警察局專案人員確保緊密協調的行動和與零售合作夥伴的溝通

將三藩市社區大使人數計劃增加三倍,該計劃僱用已退休三藩市警察巡邏並起到阻嚇作用,並擴大大使所服務的地區

管理私人資助 10B 計劃警員部署

旨在報告、調查和解決案件的公私型合作關係

通過擴大遙距服務部門來增加報案報告,該部門在新冠疫情流行期間時成立,在無需面對面接觸情況下報案

零售盜竊和商業爆竊並不是沒有受害者的案件。這些犯案導致員工減少工作時間、商店關閉和失業,直接傷害工作家庭。犯罪分子傷害了由於藥房關閉而無法方便地獲得處方藥物和疫苗的顧客和長者。更傷害了本地零售商,導致商戶減少和更多舖位空置。

該策略是一項各方同時參與的辦法,讓州和本地執法部門和零售商充分合作,以積極追查、調查和阻止三藩市內有組織零售犯罪。

Organized Retail Crime Initiative

By Mayor London Breed

We all have seen the videos and read the stories about the brazen thefts that criminal crews, sometimes in group, are committing in our City. We are not talking about a young person stealing some gum or someone hungry grabbing some bread off the shelf. We are talking about organized, sophisticated crime rings that prey on our small businesses as well as our neighborhood pharmacies and retailers, which everyone depends on, especially our seniors.

And sadly – organized retail crime is not a new problem. People might see some of our larger retailers getting hit and think that they can deal with it. Some people might not care if a small business has to hire extra security or face a crew of thieves in the middle of the night by themselves.

These should not be the price of doing business—what is happening in our City is wrong and unacceptable. Second chances and compassion are critical but at the end of the day, when people cross that line, there needs to be consequences. And we are doing everything we can to put a stop to these criminal acts and hold people accountable.

That’s why last week, we announced a new initiative led by the San Francisco Police Department in partnership with local retailers and regional law enforcement agencies. The plan’s focus is to increase reporting, investigating, and solving retail theft cases and the upstream criminal enterprises that fuel them.

The Plan has three main elements:

Expanding and reallocating police investigative resources

Increasing the SFPD Organized Retail Crime Unit from two to five investigators and adding one dedicated Lieutenant to better investigate crimes locally and to work regionally with the California Highway Patrol’s Organized Retail Crime Task Force

Strategic restructuring of publicly and privately funded deployments

Dedicating SFPD personnel to ensure tightly-coordinated field operations and communications with retail partners

Tripling the SFPD Community Ambassador program, which employs retired SFPD officers to patrol and serve as deterrence, and expanding neighborhoods served

Managing privately funded deployment of 10B officers to focus on deterrence

Public-private partnerships aimed at reporting, investigating and solving cases

Increase reporting of crimes through expansion of Teleserve Unit, which was implemented during COVID-19 pandemic to take reports without in-person contact

Retail theft and commercial burglaries are not victimless crimes. They hurt working families due to reduced work hours, shuttered stores and lost jobs. They hurt customers and seniors who are losing convenient access to prescription medications and vaccinations because of pharmacy closures. They hurt neighborhoods suffering from fewer local retailers and more empty storefronts.

This strategy is an all-hands-on-deck approach that brings the full partnership of State and local law enforcement and retailers to aggressively pursue, investigate and deter organized retail crime in San Francisco.

London N. Breed
