親愛的讀者們：
上星期三，我們慶祝了華埠安全夜，這個始於2014年的活動就像全國安全夜，旨在倡導社區與警察的關係。居民、鄰居、社區領袖和警察同聚一起以提高大家安全意識和分享不同資源，並享受一個娛樂豐富的晚上。
像這樣的活動對我們努力解決和打擊反亞裔仇恨問題尤其重要。我們將繼續推行不同的措施，例如協助長者外出時的護送服務，部署社區大使保護社區，以及為三藩市警察局和地方檢察官辦公室投放資源，以聘用和挽留公共安全工務人員。
感謝三藩市警察局、中華總商會、中華會館以及所有為華埠服務的社區組織，讓這個活動繼續取得成功，吸引許多居民出席。
我們還將繼續努力打擊和關閉損害居民、小商業和上班人士的露天毒品市場。自從我們增加了資源和協調工作以來，本地、州和聯邦公共安全機構已經進行了破紀錄的毒品拘留和查繳行動。
僅在過去的三個月內，在田德隆和南市場地區：
‧本地和州執法部門查繳了103公斤毒品，包括56公斤芬太尼
‧警方和縣警逮捕了300多名販毒者
‧三藩市還逮捕了123名通緝犯
總體來說，今年在全市範圍內，三藩市查繳了超過135公斤毒品，其中包括超過89公斤芬太尼 – 超過去年所有毒品查繳量的總和。由於這些努力，地方檢察官辦公室今年以來已經受理和起訴了創紀錄數量的重罪毒品案件。
我們還將集中努力打擊露天毒品市場中那些在公共場所使用毒品並對自己和他人構成危險的人。我們亦將繼續為處於危機中的人提供幫助，但我們必須追究那些危害我們社區的人的責任。
三藩市在為街上面對精神健康或藥物濫用危機的人擴大了關注和外展工作。我們在街上面對的問題需要大家提供幫助，對於在三藩市生活、工作或旅行的人來說，瞭解如如何撥打911和311尋求幫助尤其重要。
上星期二，市政府推出了一項新的教育宣傳，以更好地支持三藩市的協調街頭應對計劃。從今個星期開始，居民可以在市內的海報、明信片、交通廣告、信息視頻和電子廣告中看到新公共教育信息。您可以瀏覽網頁sf.gov/okaytocall以了解更多有關該計劃的信息。

Public safety and Okay to Call Campaign
My fellow San Franciscans,
This past Wednesday we celebrated Chinatown Night Out, an event that began in 2014 to embrace community-police relations modeled after National Night Out. Residents, neighbors, community leaders and police officers came together to raise awareness of safety, share available tips and resources, and enjoy an evening of entertainment.
Events like this are critical as we work to address and combat Anti-AAPI hate. We will continue our initiatives like those that help escort seniors when they go out, deploy ambassadors safeguarding neighborhoods, and invest in the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) and District Attorney’s Office to hire and retain critical staff.
Thanks to SFPD, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association, and all of the community-based organizations serving Chinatown, the event continues to be a huge success drawing served hundreds of attendees.
We are also continuing our efforts to disrupt and shut down the open-air drug markets harming our residents, small businesses, and workers. Since we’ve increased resources and coordination, our local, state and federal public safety agencies have made a record number of drug arrests and seizures.
In just the last three months alone in the Tenderloin and South of Market neighborhoods:
‧ Local and state law enforcement has seized 103 kilos of narcotics, including 56 kilos of fentanyl
‧ Police and Sheriff’s Deputies have arrested more than 300 dealers
‧ SFPD officers have also arrested 123 wanted fugitives
Overall citywide this year, SFPD have seized over 135 kilos of narcotics, including over 89 kilos of fentanyl – more than all of last year’s drug seizures combined. As a result of these efforts, the District Attorney’s Office has seen a record number of felony narcotics cases presented and filed year to date.
We have also focused our efforts to disrupt the open-air drug markets by arresting those who are using drugs in public and are a danger to themselves and others. We will continue to offer help to people in crisis, but we must hold people accountable who are harming our communities.
San Francisco has significantly expanded our care and outreach for people experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis on our streets. What we are dealing with on our streets calls for everyone in the community to help, and it is vital that anyone who lives, works or visits San Francisco understands how and when to call 911 and 311 for help.
Last Tuesday, the City announced a new education effort to better support San Francisco’s Coordinated Street Response Program. Beginning this week, residents should expect to see the City’s new ‘Okay to Call’ public education messaging in posters, postcards, bus ads, informational videos, and digital ads throughout the City. You can learn more about the program by visiting sf.gov/okaytocall.
