Fifth & Mission

SF is Cracking Down on Drugs. Is it Working?


Listen Later

A new team of San Francisco police officers has arrested or cited people for drug offenses 53 times in recent weeks as part Mayor London Breed's crackdown on drug dealing and use. She's talked about "tough love" and getting people into treatment, but so far none of the arrests have resulted in someone accepting drug treatment services. Chronicle reporter Mallory Moench joins host Demian Bulwa to explain the goals of this crackdown, why critics say it may exacerbate the overdose crisis and what to expect next. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod
