SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The city will want to lease more police officers to patrol high-crime neighborhoods and achieve community-based policing goals recognized by city leaders, several police captains said.
The captains testified Monday before a special Board of Supervisors group formed to examine gun and gang fighting in San Francisco, where there were 96 murders last year, a 10-year high for the city. Most of the murders remain unsettled.
Police said they will call for more manpower, particularly beat officers, to get better relations between the department and residents of high offense areas such as Bayview-Hunters Point and the Western Addition who are often unwilling to talk to officers
