San Francisco police launch new program that will allow people to report sex work with photos
Briefly

The 'Dear John' program empowers residents to combat street prostitution by allowing them to report illegal activity with photos, which SFPD will verify and act upon.
SFPD emphasized the lack of anonymity for those soliciting prostitution; a 'Dear John' letter could lead to uncomfortable situations at home, acting as a significant deterrent.
Recent lawsuits regarding Shotwell Street highlight community frustrations as the area has become a hub for prostitution, prompting residents to seek city action.
Cities have implemented various measures to deter prostitution, but barriers on Shotwell Street have introduced their own challenges, raising safety and accessibility concerns.
