Breed\u2019s most recent plan involves $13.95 billion for the 2022-23 fiscal year and $13.85 billion for 2023-24. The amounts are around 5% more than the prior year\u2019s total approved budget of $13.3 billion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The budget is categorized into department items, called \u201cmajor service areas,\u201d which are portioned down into smaller departments.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In particular, the public safety area is looking at a steep increase in proposed spending. This year, the proposed total amount increased 10% compared to 2021 \u2014 from $1.75 billion to more than $1.9 billion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Departments within the area of public protection are seeing the steepest proposed year-over-year hikes. The requested budget for the fire department <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfchronicle.com\/projects\/2022\/san-francisco-budget\/\">increased<\/a> by $59 million from $440 million last year to $499 million. The proposed budget for SFPD rose by more than $50 million, from $657 million to $708 million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In 2020, Breed cut <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/12\/16\/white-house-lauds-defund-the-police-san-francisco-mayor-for-crime-crackdown\/\">reduced<\/a> the police budget by $120 million during the nationwide protests against alleged racially biased policing, saying she was <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LondonBreed\/status\/1289224638468243458\">\u201credirecting\u201d $120 million<\/a>\u00a0\u201cfrom law enforcement to start addressing\u2026disparities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">SF&#8217;s Black community has long been unheard and underserved, creating huge disparities in wealth, public health, education, and countless other factors.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/shamannwalton?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ShamannWalton<\/a> and I are redirecting $120m from law enforcement to start addressing those disparities.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/EgL50Cg4L0\">https:\/\/t.co\/EgL50Cg4L0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 London Breed (@LondonBreed) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LondonBreed\/status\/1289224638468243458?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 31, 2020<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In December of last year, however, Breed changed her tune and issued a more aggressive approach to public safety in light of more crime across the city. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWhat I\u2019m proposing today, and what I will be proposing in the future, will make a lot of people uncomfortable, and I don\u2019t care. We are past the point where what we see is even remotely acceptable,\u201d Breed said in a speech at the time. \u201cIt\u2019s time the reign of criminals who are destroying our city, it is time for it to come to an end.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The city is expected to have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfchronicle.com\/sf\/article\/S-F-Mayor-Breed-s-14-billion-budget-would-17212579.php\">budget surplus<\/a> of $75 million, which will aid in the increased funding proposal that could add more law enforcement officers, provide pay raises, and increasing the compensation of new hires to San Francisco\u2019s law enforcement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">There will likely be around <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfchronicle.com\/sf\/article\/S-F-Mayor-Breed-s-14-billion-budget-would-17212579.php\">200 officer job openings<\/a> at the end of this fiscal year, and the proposed budget would help secure 220 officers over two years with the additional funding. The sheriff and emergency management departments also saw an increase in funding, as well as the District Attorney, adult and juvenile probation, and the public defender departments.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In addition to Breed\u2019s two-year budget proposal, the mayor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/sf-mayor-announces-5-year-plan-to-end-homelessness-for-people-with-specific-gender-identity-gets-blasted\">added<\/a> a plan to eliminate \u201chomelessness that would include transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) San Franciscans, a spokesperson for her office said,\u201d per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcbayarea.com\/news\/local\/san-francisco\/mayor-breed-announces-budget-plan-to-end-trans-and-gender-nonconforming-homelessness-by-2027\/2907417\/\">NBC Bay Area<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">However, Twitter users <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/sf-mayor-announces-5-year-plan-to-end-homelessness-for-people-with-specific-gender-identity-gets-blasted\">criticized<\/a> Breed\u2019s initiative for prioritizing certain homeless individuals based on their gender identity.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>San Francisco Democratic Mayor London Breed proposed an increase in funding for law enforcement in a budget for the city\u2019s 2022-23 fiscal year on Wednesday after severely depleting police resources two years ago.
