In recent efforts to address the ongoing drug crisis in San Francisco, the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) conducted two nighttime operations around UN Plaza, resulting in the arrest of 23 individuals. These operations are part of the city’s broader initiative to curb open-air drug markets, particularly in the mid-Market area. Chief Bill Scott emphasized the department’s commitment to this cause, highlighting the extensive hours and efforts by officers to enhance safety and order in the city.
