California will expand CHP crime-suppression teams to work with local law enforcement in San Diego, the Inland Empire, Los Angeles, the Central Valley, Sacramento and the San Francisco Bay Area. The operations will be targeted and data driven. Statewide crime numbers have fallen, but community-level conditions and challenges vary and officials acknowledge more work is needed. President Trump has criticized crime in blue states and threatened military involvement. He claimed rampant theft in Beverly Hills, a claim reporters could not verify. The administration previously sent about 5,000 Marines and National Guard troops to Los Angeles and activated hundreds of Guard troops in Washington.
"These operations will be targeted. They'll be data driven," Newsom said.
"These are aggregate numbers, but we don't live in the aggregate. Everybody lives in a different community, with different conditions, different challenges, and we are mindful that we have a lot more work to do," Newsom said at a news conference in the governor's office. "That's precisely why we are announcing this today."
