"A very humdrum item on this week's SF Board of Supervisors agenda was approving $14.5 million for some kind of new tactic to fight public fentanyl use, something called the RESET Center, which would basically be 25 so-called "sobering beds run by the sheriff's office. People busted high on fentanyl would simply be given the change to sober up on a bed and then hopefully seek drug treatment."
"Mission Local obtained a "confidential memo from the City Attorney's Office, which said that the proposed center had a failure to comply with State law in terms of staffing, safety checks, and detox treatment, and that anyone who went through the center could then sue the city for non-compliance with standards for detention facilities."
"And oh, that the letter somehow became public. When the investigation identifies who unlawfully disclosed confidential @SFCityAttorney advice, I'll introduce a censure motion against the @SFBOS member involved. City officials who violate these laws are subject to penalties and removal from office due to official misconduct. pic.twitter.com/0Z2p5YNJHc Matt Dorsey (@mattdorsey) February 11, 2026"
San Francisco supervisors approved $14.5 million to create a RESET Center offering 25 sobering beds managed by the sheriff's office to address public fentanyl use. The program would allow people arrested while high on fentanyl to sober on a bed and be offered drug treatment, operated by ConnectionsCA, an organization apparently based in Phoenix. The City Attorney issued a confidential memo concluding the center would violate State law on staffing, safety checks, and detox treatment, exposing the city to lawsuits for noncompliance with detention standards. A public disclosure of the memo prompted a pledge to investigate the leak and pursue censure.
