The Mayor’s increased coordination between the SFPD, the Sheriff’s Department, the DA’s office, the CHP, and the CA National Guard has delivered hundreds of arrests, and the seizure of nearly 160 kilos of confiscated narcotics.
Those seizures include 56 kilos of fentanyl, 38 kilos by the SFPD 18 more seized by CHP officers, and 103 kilos of other confiscated narcotics.
