The mayor plans on having 30 fully armed officers on foot patrols
Short hundreds of police officers, San Francisco Mayor London Breed is hoping to deploy the next best thing to walk city streets.
For decades, reserve officers have been unpaid and served essentially on-call in case of a major emergency or major events, like New Year’s Eve celebrations. But amid widespread concerns over public safety and a dearth of sworn police officers, The City wants to lean more heavily on reserve officers to pad police staffing.

The position is pitched as an option for people who aren’t seeking a full-time career in policing, such as retired police officers.
Supervisor Ahsha Safai — who is challenging Breed in the 2024 race — welcomed Breed’s proposal, but argued she’s only following his lead. He introduced legislation last month that would require a plan for increased police foot patrols.
