Overview True public safety starts with trust and presence, not just response times. In the Sunset, we need officers who know our neighborhoods, walk our streets, speak the language, and build relationships with residents and small businesses. I’ll advocate for community policing that brings officers out of their cars and back onto neighborhood beats, where they can prevent crime through visibility and connection. I’ll also support expanding unarmed response teams for mental health and wellness calls, so police can focus on violent crime and community safety can be shared across trained professionals. Public safety should make everyone feel protected, respected, and part of the solution. Central Priorities Fully staff SFPD department to reduce overtime costs Increase bilingual officers patrolling streets Strengthen a pipeline from neighborhood to academy
