San Francisco Tenderloin Police Station At Front Line Of Civic Center Drug Crisis
By Wilson WalkerJune 3, 2018 at 11:33 pmFiled Under:Crime, Drug Dealing, Drugs, opioid crisis, San Francisco, San Francisco police, Tenderloin
SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX 5) — For weeks now the flood of drugs running through San Francisco’s downtown BART stations has been making headlines. That phenomenon, of course, just an extension of the problems that have long-plagued the streets above.

Civic Center and surrounding Tenderloin neighborhood is the epicenter of the city’s opioid crisis, and the San Francisco Police Department’s Tenderloin Station is tasked with stopping that flood of drugs. KPIX 5 spent one day with those officers, who are now making a much more high-profile push against the neighborhood’s notorious drug market.

Visitors walk around Civic Center and Union Square, maybe venture out to the piers or North Beach - and in their mind they’ve “done San Francisco.”

Now if they’d also covered neighborhoods like Outer Sunset, Bernal Heights, Noe Valley, Twin Peaks, Diamond Heights, Excelsior, etc? THEN I think we could take their comments more seriously. I’d love to know where that poster went while here, to see if he fits into the former or latter category. But my money is on the former, since I doubt someone here for a short business trip would have gone much beyond downtown.

Hell, most locals haven’t even seen all of the city... when I worked at the Visitacion Valley and Portola Libraries, half the people I told would go “where??” LOL

Yeah ... they’re outnumbered. But that wasn’t your argument. You said the law gives drug dealers a pass ... I just demonstrated: no, they don’t. They are arrested, convicted, and imprisoned on a regular basis as much as resources can be applied.

They do, they could go to tenderloin anytime and find people to arrest but they dont.

Could they, though? I’m just jumping in to this part of the discussion, but my first thought is that SFPD simply doesn’t have the time or resources to go dealer-hunting... if they see it they’ll likely do something (whether or not it involves arresting them), but mostly they’re too busy dealing with other/bigger issues. The cops have to prioritize their time, and it’s more important to handle things like assaults, major accidents, drunk drivers, etc.
