親愛的讀者們:
三藩市一直在打擊市內露天毒品交易。我們正在採取積極的措施來解決芬太尼危機，既為一些與毒癮爭扎的人提供相關服務，同時也以執法行動來打擊露天毒品交易，向毒販追究責任。
就在本年第一季，在田德隆區內逮捕的街頭毒品交易人士比去年同期增加了一倍。
現時，警察局長和檢察官之間的合作關係比以往更緊密。有了這個重要的合作關係，我們都一同為居民，特別是田德隆區居民竭盡全力地推動安全工作。
我們已經利用加班時間部署了更多的警察，在田德隆和周邊地區增加毒品交易的逮捕。我們的警員一直在進行逮捕，而地檢官亦一直在積極地起訴出售致命毒品的毒販，這毒品在市內造成了致命的過量。
我們正在發出一個明確信息：向罪犯追究責任。 亦正因如此，我感謝州長紐森和州執法機構合作，幫助我們繼續及擴展這些工作，並同時感謝他們聆聽居民、上班人士和商戶一直在要求更多的支援。我們歡迎這種對更多執法的支援。
三藩市應對芬太尼危機的工作：
由於今年到目前為止，三藩市80%的服藥過量死亡都與芬太尼有關，因此三藩市必須對芬太尼出售進行優先執法工作，特別是在田德隆區和南巿場區內。
‧ 自一月以來，三藩市警察局已於田德隆和南市場區逮捕了300多名持有並意圖出售芬太尼的人士。
‧ 2023年第一季度芬太尼的緝獲量在2022年同期增長了150%以上。
‧ 與2021年同期相比，今年到目前為止，市內的芬太尼緝獲量增加了450%以上。
地檢官辦公室已優先起訴一級毒販，並正與警方密切合作，起訴毒品銷售案件。
‧ 在2022年7月至2023年4月期間，地檢官辦公室起訴了638宗毒品銷售案件，起訴率為90%。
‧ 在2022年7月8日至2023年4月20日期間，有517人嚴重毒品罪被提審，與上任地檢官辦公室同期相比增加了80%。
三藩市還繼續優先為一些與毒癮爭扎的人士提供治療和服務。這包括三藩市公共衛生局為實施預防用藥過量計劃所做的工作，這是一項由四部分組成的策略，通過擴大藥物使用治療和服務的範圍，在未來三年內將納洛酮的分發量增加一倍，增加對有用藥過量風險人士的社區支持，並改善用藥人士社區的條件，來減少過量用藥。這項工作的例子包括：
‧ 在過去的兩年內，衛生局除了現有的2,200張床位外，還開設了近350張住院護理和治療床位。
‧ 這包括最近在金銀島為治療計劃過渡人士開設了一個有70個床位的住院降級設施。
‧ 衛生局也一直在廣泛增加獲得治療鴉片類藥物使用障礙的藥物，即丁丙諾啡和美沙酮。
本地執法機構會致力於這項工作，繼續積極阻止市內露天毒品市場。

Addressing the Fentanyl Crisis
My fellow San Franciscans,
San Francisco has been taking on the open-air drug dealing in our City. And we are taking aggressive steps to address the fentanyl crisis with both services for those struggling with addiction as well as enforcement to break up open-air drug dealing and hold those who are threatening lives accountable.
Just in the first quarter of this year, arrests for street level drug dealing in the Tenderloin Area doubled over the same period from last year.
We now have a strong relationship between our Police Chief and our DA. And with that partnership, we are all pushing as hard as we can for our residents especially residents in the Tenderloin.
We have used overtime to deploy more officers to get out in the Tenderloin and surrounding areas to increase drug arrests. Our Police Officers have been making arrests and our District Attorney has been aggressive in prosecuting cases against drug dealers who are selling a drug that is driving fatal overdoses in our City.
We are sending a message that people are held accountable.
What is why we are grateful for the partnership with Governor Gavin Newsom and the State law enforcement agencies to help us continue that work and expand our efforts, and for listening to our residents, workers, and businesses that have been calling for more support. We welcome this support for more enforcement.
San Francisco’s Work to Address the Fentanyl Crisis:
80% of the overdose deaths so far this year in San Francisco are fentanyl-related, which is why San Francisco has prioritized enforcement of fentanyl dealers, particularly in the Tenderloin and South of Market neighborhoods.
- Since January, SFPD has made more than 300 arrests for possession with intent to sell in the Tenderloin and South of Market areas.
- The amount of fentanyl seized in the first quarter of 2023 increased by over 150% year over year in 2022.
- Compared to the same period in 2021, the City has seen an increase of the amount of fentanyl seized by over 450% this year so far.
The District Attorney’s Office has prioritized the prosecution of high-level dealers and are working closely with SFPD to file narcotics sales cases.
- Between July 2022 and April 2023, the District Attorney’s Office filed 638 felony narcotics sales cases, which is a 90% filing rate.
- 517 individuals were arraigned between July 8, 2022 and April 20, 2023 for felony narcotics, representing an 80% increase compared to the same time period by the previous administration.
San Francisco also continues to prioritize treatment and services for those struggling with addiction. This includes the San Francisco Department of Public Health’s (SFDPH) work to implement the City’s Overdose Prevention Plan, a four-part strategy to bring down overdoses, by expanding access to substance use treatment and services, doubling the distribution of naloxone in the next three years, increasing social support for people at risk of overdose, and improving the conditions in communities where drug use occurs. Examples of this work include:
- Over the past two years, SFDPH has opened almost 350 residential care and treatment beds, in addition to the existing 2,200 beds.
- This includes the recent opening of a 70-bed residential step-down facility in Treasure Island for people transitioning out of treatment programs.
- SFDPH has also been widely increasing access to medications for opioid use disorder, namely buprenorphine and methadone.
Our local enforcement agencies are committed to this work and we will continue to be aggressive in disrupting the open-air drug markets in our City.
