San Francisco wants to spend an additional $27.6 million this year in police overtime to make up for the shortage of officers, the city announced.

The funds will backfill a 12% decrease that began in 2019 and swelled the following year when Mayor London Breed announced San Francisco was defunding the police in the wake of George Floyd’s death. She later reversed that decision.

“We have been working hard to address serious public safety challenges in San Francisco, but we need our officers out on the street,” Breed said in a statement on Tuesday. “We need officers responding to break-ins, breaking up the open-air drug dealing in the Tenderloin, and addressing the shootings and violent crimes in our neighborhoods. This funding is essential for keeping our City safe.”

Officers have already worked 380,000 hours of overtime this year compared to 425,000 hours for the entire previous fiscal year. One police station has lost half its officers, she said.

In addition to increased police funding, Breed also proposed an additional $200,000 to hire three prosecutors for the district attorney’s office. These positions will be dedicated to cases involving open-air drug markets in the city.

The proposals must receive a majority vote by the Board of Supervisors, but so far, several members have voiced support.
