(三藩市市長布里德)
三藩市頻頻繁發生的汽車爆竊並非像一這人所說是沒有受害人的案件，事實上，這些案件都會為受害者人造成經濟損失和精神困擾。我們將竭力追究罪犯的責任。
這些案件傷害居民，尤其是沒有多餘時間或金錢來應對事故的家庭，而對於遊客，事故必定令他們愉快的旅程蒙上陰影。自從我們宣布了旅遊業安全部署計劃以來，近幾個月已取得了進展，但我們仍有更多工作要做，以確保每個人在街道上都感到安全。
對要為絕大部分罪案負責的犯罪組織，我亦要鄭重表明我們正在投放資源和人力來追究他們的責任。
正因如此，我宣布了一項由私人資助的現金獎勵，以獲取緝拿參與有組織犯罪分子歸案的線索。這措施建基於我們最近增加社區安全大使和警察在繁忙的商業、旅遊及購物區內巡邏，有助了令市內汽車爆竊案件下降了三成七。提供準確和清晰線索的人士而令相關賊人被繩之於法將可獲得最高十萬元的獎金。
任何有線索的人士都可以至電 (415) 575-4444 與三藩市警察局聯絡及發送短信到 TIP411，並以「SFPD」作信訊開首。敬請留意，儘管來電者可以保持匿名，但如要獎勵，提供人士需要向警方表明個人身份。
隨著三藩市重新開放，為了進一步加強市內持續的公共安全措施，我們還採取措施，與縣府警長和成人緩刑局合作，改革市內的釋囚電子監控計劃。
這種公共安全工具需要改革以實現其原有的阻嚇作用，同時也可以作為代替監禁的方案。
電子監控必不可少。但是，其工具的作用已失去了成效。這代表了我們試圖避免他們因重犯而入獄的努力失敗，我們也因此令公眾失望。令我們震驚的是，近三分一的電子監控釋囚未能遵守其電子監控條款。一些人亦再次犯案，並被指控各種可怕的暴力罪行。
我也因此要求這些部門製定並提出關於如何加強三藩市電子監控計劃的建議，以實現其最基本的預防功能。我們必須改革和加強這項重要的公共安全工具，讓犯人遠離監獄，防止他們 將來再次犯事。

Continue to strengthen Public Safety
By Mayor London Breed
The frequent auto burglaries in San Francisco are not victimless crimes, they have real financial and emotional consequences for the victims and we’re continuing to work to hold people who commit these crimes accountable.
These incidents hurt our residents, especially working families who do not have the time or money to deal with the effects, as well as visitors to our City whose experiences are too often tarnished after an otherwise positive experience. We’ve made progress in recent months since announcing our Tourism Deployment Plan, but there’s still more work to do to ensure that everyone feels safe on our streets.
I want to be very clear to the organized groups who are responsible for the vast majority of these crimes that we are committing the resources and the manpower to hold them accountable.
That’s why I announced a privately funded cash reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of individuals involved in organized criminal fencing operations known to fuel vehicle smash-and-grabs. This initiative builds on our recent expansion of community-based ambassadors and police patrols to high-traffic businesses, tourist, and retail destinations, which has resulted in a 37 percent drop in citywide auto burglaries. Individuals that provide accurate and transparent information will be compensated up to $100,000 pending the arrest and conviction of individuals involved.
Anyone with information is asked to call the SFPD Tip Line at (415) 575-4444 or Text a Tip to TIP411 and begin the text message with “SFPD.” Although callers may remain anonymous, eligibility for rewards for information leading to arrests and convictions of offenders requires individuals to identify themselves to SFPD investigators.
And to further build on our continuing public safety measures as San Francisco reopens, we have also initiated steps to work with the Sheriff and Adult Probation Department to reform our City’s Electronic Monitoring Program.
This public safety tool needs reforms to achieve its original deterrence function, while also serving as an alternative to incarceration.
Electronic Monitoring is essential but it is failing as a tool for deterrence then it is failing those we are trying to keep out of jail and we are failing the public. It is alarming to us that close to one-third of the active clients on electronic monitoring failed to comply with the terms of their electronic monitoring. Some were even charged with a variety of horrific violent crimes.
That’s also why I have requested these departments to develop and present recommendation regarding how to best strengthen the electronic monitoring program in San Francisco so that its original deterrence function can be fulfilled. We must reform and strengthen this important public safety tool that can keep people out of jail, and prevent future contact with the criminal justice system
