City supervisors endorsed a policy Tuesday that would have San Francisco automatically match the recruitment bonuses offered to police officers by other Northern California cities.
The resolution also tasks the San Francisco Police Department and Sheriff's Office with developing plans to reach their staffing goals.
San Francisco leaders have repeatedly debated and been divided on the appropriate level of staffing for the police department, but there is wide agreement that it is well short of where it should be. The math used in Dorsey's resolution puts the department at 1,537 full-duty officers, more than 500 short of its goal.
