San Francisco Announces New “Non Law Enforcement Agencies” For Non-Criminal Calls
Written by Site Hub on July 12, 2020
In a statement released by San Fransisco Mayor London Breed, the city will not be using the police force to respond to non-criminal calls.
The city will be using what they call “non law enforcement agencies” which consist of unarmed professionals who will take over calls for things like homelessness, mental health issues and noise complaints.
Breed followed up on the release, saying:
“We know that a lack of equity in our society overall leads to a lot of the problems that police are being asked to solve. We are going to keep pushing for additional reforms and continue to find ways to reinvest in communities that have historically been underserved and harmed by systemic racism.”
The new task forces will be active in the next few months.
