San Francisco Supervisor Dean Preston on Thursday is sponsoring a hearing on strategies to address the city's problem with car break-ins.
The hearing will be held before the San Francisco Government Audit and Oversight Committee, and the agenda calls for the Mayor's Office, police, the District Attorney's Office, the Office of Economic Workforce Development, Municipal Transportation Agency and the Department of Emergency Management all to report to the committee.
Preston asked District Attorney Brooke Jenkins to report on any victim services offered to people who have had their cars broken into, but in a letter to the committee, she said that her office's Victims Services Division primarily assists people who have been the victim of violent crimes, and"due to budgetary constraints, our office does not currently have staffing capacity to support victims of car break-ins.
"I am very supportive of the San Francisco Police Department's recent announcement to dedicate additional resources to addressing auto burglaries," wrote Jenkins."These strategies will better equip the Police Department to prevent these kinds of crimes from happening and when they do occur, identify and apprehend suspects so they may be prosecuted."
In the agenda packet released before Thursday's meeting, a manager of a high-end shoe store asked San Francisco government heads to take action about the problem.
