SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — If you’re the victim of a crime that’s no longer in progress in San Francisco and you’re not injured, it could take days for SFPD to respond. That’s according to the San Francisco Police Officer’s Association president.
There’s plenty of sweetness inside Fillmore Bakeshop along with some bitterness as well. Two times in two weeks, owner Elena Basegio had to call 911 for help.
“I just feel a lot more unsafe,” said Basegio.
The rise in crime rates and delayed police responses have caused concerns not only for the residents of San Francisco but also for local businesses. With incidents like these, the sense of security has been shattered, causing legitimate worries among the community.
Basegio’s experiences at her bakery are just a fragment of a much larger problem. The issue of delayed police responses has been a topic of discussion in recent months, as citizens have begun to question the effectiveness of law enforcement in the city. The San Francisco Police Officer’s Association president’s revelation only adds to the growing frustration felt by the residents.
The lack of prompt response can have far-reaching implications, leading to delayed justice and a potential increase in criminal activity. While it is important to prioritize emergencies, the safety and well-being of all residents and businesses should be a top concern for the authorities.
