親愛的讀者們：
上星期，我與加州州長紐森、地檢官謝安宜、警察局長施革以及州政府公共安全部門等一同宣布組建了一個新的聯合執法部隊，專門調查三藩市內與鴉片類藥物有關的死亡和中毒案件。這個新的部隊預計將在明年初全面運作。
新的任務部隊將包括來自三藩市警察局、三藩市地檢官辦公室、加州高速公路巡邏警以及加州國民警衛隊的人員。這個部隊將像調查謀殺案一樣調查市內的鴉片類藥物死亡案例，並運用標準操作程序記錄死亡事件、收集相關證據，並處理情報以進一步追蹤芬太尼的供應和大型犯罪集團，追究毒販責任。
三藩市近來見證了芬太尼相關死亡案件的驚人增加。僅在這一年裡，警方在田德隆區就查獲了107公斤芬太尼，並逮捕了776名販毒。三藩市警察局通過多機構合作，包括地檢官辦公室、加州公路巡警、加州司法部和加州國民警衛隊，對這一地區進行了定點打擊。
通過調查努力、證據收集和數據分析，該任務部隊將努力識別並瓦解在三藩市負責致命過量和中毒的阿片類藥物分銷網絡。類似的努力在其他城市，包括聖地牙哥市和弗雷斯諾市，已經取得了成功，當地的加州國民警衛隊分析支持與鴉片類藥物相關的死亡調查。
這一行動基於州長應對芬太尼和阿片類危機的總體計劃，該計劃包括擴大加州國民警衛隊支持的行動，去年芬太尼查獲量增加594%，並在全州范圍內歷史性地提供了10億元撥款，以打擊犯罪並幫助那些與藥物濫用有關的人。
芬太尼比我們在街上見過的任何毒品都更致命。我們必須更嚴厲地對待芬太尼的販運和銷售，而他們必須意識到推銷這種毒品可能導致謀殺指控。我在此感謝紐森州長在三藩市繼續提供支持，以及我們所有的州執法部門與我們合作，追究販賣致命毒品毒販的責任。這本地、州和聯邦執法機構之間持續合作正在起到成效。

New Task Force focusing on investigations on opioid drug overdose deaths
My fellow San Franciscans,
Last week, I joined Governor Gavin Newsom, District Attorney Brooke Jenkins, Police Chief Bill Scott, and state agency public safety partners to announce the formation of a new joint law enforcement task force to investigate opioid-linked deaths and poisonings in San Francisco. The new task force is expected to be fully operational by early next year.
The new task force will include personnel from the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD), the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office (SFDA), the California Highway Patrol (CHP), and the California National Guard (CalGuard). The task force will investigate opioid deaths in San Francisco similar to homicide cases, and employ standard operating procedures to document deaths, gather relevant evidence, and process intelligence to further map out the supply of fentanyl and large crime syndicates, and hold drug traffickers accountable.
San Francisco has seen an alarming rise in fentanyl-linked deaths. This year alone in the Tenderloin, SFPD has seized 107 kilos of fentanyl and made 776 arrests for sale of narcotics. SFPD has targeted the area through a multi-agency collaboration that includes the SFDA, CHP, the California Department of Justice, and CalGuard.
Through investigative efforts, evidence gathering, and data analysis, the task force will seek to identify and disrupt opioid distribution networks in San Francisco that are responsible for fatal overdoses and poisonings. Similar efforts have proven successful in other cities, including San Diego and Fresno, where CalGuard analysts contribute support to opioid-linked death investigations.
The operation builds on the Governor’s Master Plan for Tackling the Fentanyl and Opioid Crisis, which includes an expansion of CalGuard-supported operations that last year led to a 594% increase in seized fentanyl and historic levels of funding — $1 billion statewide — to crack down on the crisis and assist those struggling with substance use.
Fentanyl is deadlier than any drug we’ve ever seen on our streets. We must treat the trafficking and sale of fentanyl more severely and people must be put on notice that pushing this drug could lead to homicide charges.
I want to thank Governor Newsom for continuing this support in San Francisco, and all of our state law enforcement agencies for working with us to hold those who sell this deadly drug accountable. This continued partnership between local, state, and federal enforcement agencies is making a difference.
