San Francisco's Sheriff Deploys Emergency Unit to Combat Drug Crisis.
TL;DR Summary
San Francisco Mayor London Breed has deployed an emergency team of 130 deputies to arrest drug dealers and compel people using drugs into treatment in the Tenderloin and South of Market neighborhoods. The team will work on overtime for six months, starting at the end of June. The move has been criticized by criminal justice advocates and public health experts who argue that coerced treatment is ineffective in getting people diagnosed with addiction into recovery and can lead to post-release overdoses.
