Healthcare professionals demanded we drastically reduce the jail population, so we listened. On Jan 21, the SF jail population was 1,238. On March 4, when the emergency was declared, it was 1,097. Yesterday, it was 766. Meanwhile, crime rates continue to decrease in SF.
Jeremy, check out SFPD Compstat for documentation that crime is actually surging- both violent and property. Robberies up 15%. Car break-ins down 9%, but replaced with a 10% increase in thieves stealing the whole car!! https://www.sanfranciscopolice.org/sites/default/files/2020-04/MarchCompstat20200417.pdf …
