Supervisor Matt Dorsey, recently appointed to District 6, is advocating for a multifaceted approach to tackle drug-related issues in San Francisco. He has requested city health and safety agencies to outline a robust plan aiming for over 100 arrests nightly, emphasizing the importance of offering treatment during these legal processes. Dorsey views arrests not as punitive measures but as critical opportunities for individuals suffering from substance-use disorders to access recovery services. His efforts align with ongoing law enforcement initiatives to address the pressing concerns in the area, particularly along the Sixth Street corridor.
"I don't think of making arrests as punitive, I think of it as an opportunity to get people struggling with substance-use disorders to begin their path toward recovery."
"Dorsey has requested that city agencies deliver a report to maximize the use of arrests and compulsory detox and treatment to solve drug-related lawlessness in San Francisco."
