There's a shortage of police officers.
What do you think it's going to look like in San Francisco?
I mean, just look at the devastation that we've started to see.
I mean, Whole Foods, this like $10 million project to be built downtown, only open for a year, just got up and left.
And that's because they can't get a handle on crime.
They had SFPD standing a post because it was getting so out of hand, the theft and people walking through, right?
SFPD was working overtime shifts there and they still closed.
Wayne In 2013, San Francisco, it was one of the most desirable police departments to work for.
Now, it's the complete opposite.
Nobody wants to do police work, number one.
And number two, nobody wants to do police work in San Francisco.
Back in 2013, we had about five academies throughout the entire year.
Now, you're lucky to see two to three probably yielding 10 to 20 recruits.
Let's say 50% of those people fail out.
You're looking at yielding 20 to 30 officers tops, and then think about how many retirements you have.
200 a year, injuries, etc, etc, etc.
SF cannot fill this gap.
