San Francisco is concentrating resources on Union Square to make shoppers feel more safe this holiday season.
. As we approach the post-Thanksgiving shopping season, the city will be deploying additional police and community ambassadors to the area.
San Francisco's Union Square is already buzzing with activity and that activity is only expected to increase as the holiday shopping season gets underway. Mayor London Breed says safety has to be a priority for shops and shoppers. "I know that often times there are a number of videos that continue to go viral that try to paint a really harsh picture of our beautiful city," said Mayor Breed.
The city's district attorney said her office will ensure consequences for anyone caught crossing the line. "The lawlessness and organized retail theft that we saw this time last year will not be tolerated under any circumstance," said District Attorney Brooke Jenkins. "The days of there being free passes for that kind of conduct are gone.
The city also announced it will be offering an hour of free parking at Union Square with extra eyes and ears inside the garage and on the vehicles to crack down on auto-burglaries.that I have read and agree
