Public Safety

Public safety

in San Francisco 

requires

a multifaceted

approach:

 

Retaining

SFPD uniformed officers

while expanding Plainclothes Units 

akin to

"The Streets

of San Francisco", 

and reviving the

SFPD Mounted Division.​

For UN Plaza and the

Downtown Museums

Enhancing

the SF Sheriff's

Mounted Patrols

to focus on

Civic Center Plaza,

including 

the future Senior

and Childcare Center

in the old Library, 

which currently houses

the Asian Art Museum

---soon to move to its larger new

350,000 square foot site.

This includes 

reactivating 

the SFPD Stables 

near

Fort Mason

to serve Fisherman's Wharf, 

and

expanding

the

SFPD's 

Golden

Gate

Park

Stables 

to cover

public safety

at UN Plaza 

and t

he new, 

larger

Asian Art Museum,

located in

the former 

Nordstrom building.

Traffic enforcement 

should be

managed 

by

a county-deputized 

MTA Marshal patrol

accountable to 

the Board

of Supervisors, 

focused

on Vision Zero.

The Constabulary

Finally, 

establishing

a dedicated 

Constabulary 

with

mounted

constables 

funded

by tourism

districts 

like

Union Square. 

 

These

constables, 

using

smaller officers

and ponies,

will

patrol 

and

act as

tourist liaisons,

fostering 

a sense

of calm order 

and

tradition

around

Union Square.

 

This will

free up 

uniformed

SFPD officers 

to focus on

broader 

public safety

concerns

rather than being 

tied down

to patrolling 

high-end stores.

 

​

None

of the

mounted

officers

in

a public safety

capacity 

shall be used

for crowd control, 

only for patrol.

“We prioritize Tradition 

over Militarization, 

with a focus on, 

community-friendly 

public safety. 

 

Unlike vehicles 

with hard 

steel bumpers

or

Motocross

rubber-studded tires, 

horses 

inherently avoid 

running people down. 

 

It would require 

abusing 

these intelligent, 

empathetic animals 

to make them 

intentionally 

harm humans, 

which is against 

everything 

we stand for.”
