(三藩市市長布里德)
無論家住在訪谷區、灣景區、日落和烈治文區或田德隆區，每位三藩市居民都有感到安全的權利。 而事實上，許多的居民都感到不安全。
我們需要改變三藩市處理公共安全的作法。我對三藩市相信給予更新機會而感到自豪。但儘管如此，當有人違反法律時，我們也需要追究責任。三藩市不能成為無法無天的地方，把我們的同情心視作軟弱或漠不關心。
我由外祖母撫養成人，相信「嚴厲的愛」 —— 才可把家事處理得井井有條 —— 而我相信現在比較過往更需要這嚴勵的愛。現在是時候結束這些破壞三藩市的罪犯了。我們正採取措施，加強執法，加強我們的政策改變，不容忍破壞三藩市的人。
上週，我宣佈了一系列新措施，以建立一個更安全的三藩市，其中包括：
‧ 在田德隆執行緊急干預計劃
‧ 增加緊急警察撥款，以確保市內有資源在未來幾個月內解決重要的安全問題
‧ 修改監控條例，以便執法部門可以實時預防和打斷犯罪以更好地保護住所及小商業 —— 現行制度禁止執法剖門對此執勤
‧ 阻止盜竊商品的非法街頭銷售，這些盜竊已成為一個明顯的公共安全問題，並助長了零售盜竊
這些步驟與我們建立創新的心理健康干預措施例如街頭危機應對小組和心理健康床位擴建等長期工作相互一致。 我們還將繼續透過幫助無家可歸者計劃擴展獲得住房和收容中心的機會，並為正在運作的除貧計劃撥款，如「夢想守護者」和「全民機會」計劃等。
這些不是我們要採取的唯一行動來解決公共安全問題。 我亦清楚表明公共安全還代表了解決潛在系統性問題—— 例如對住房、醫療保健和公平的需要。 我們也將繼續處理這些議題。 但是，我們現在就立即需要一個更安全的三藩市

A Safer San Francisco
By Mayor London Breed
All San Franciscans deserve to feel safe in their city. No matter where they live — Visitacion Valley, the Bayview, out in the Avenues, or in the heart of the Tenderloin. And the truth is, right now, people aren’t feeling safe all over the city.
We need to change course on how we handle public safety in San Francisco. I’m proud that this city believes in giving people second chance. Nevertheless. we also need accountability when someone does break the law. We can’t be a place where anything goes, where our compassion is mistaken for weakness or indifference.
I was raised by my grandmother to believe in “tough love” — in keeping your house in order — and I believe we need that now more than ever. It’s time that the reign of criminals who are destroying our city comes to an end and we take steps to be more aggressive with law enforcement, more aggressive with the changes in our policies, and less tolerant of all that has destroyed our city.
Last week, I announced a series of new steps to create a safer San Francisco, which include:
Executing an Emergency Intervention Plan in the Tenderloin neighborhood
Securing emergency police funding to ensure we have the resources to combat major safety problems over the next several months
Amending our surveillance ordinance so law enforcement can prevent and interrupt crime in real-time — something they’re effectively barred from doing now — to better protect our homes and businesses
Disrupting the illegal street sales of stolen goods that have become a clear public safety issue and are contributing to retail theft
These steps work in concert with our long-term work to establish innovative mental health interventions, like our Street Crisis Response Teams and the major expansion of mental health beds. We will also continue to expand access to housing and shelter, through our Homelessness Recovery Plan, and to invest in anti-poverty programs that are working, like the Dreamkeeper Initiative and Opportunities for All.
These are not the only actions we are going to be taking to address public safety. And to be clear, public safety also means confronting the underlying systemic problems that plague our society — such as the need for housing, health care and equity. We will keep working on those issues, too. But we need a safer San Francisco, and we need it now.
