Mission Loc@l went out to the streets to see what people think of the Mission Police Department’s efforts to combat robbery in the neighborhood.
Fay Abuelgasim was surprised to find taquerias side by side with Senegalese, Chinese and Greek restaurants in the Mission. She thought they would only be Latin. The homeless people outside the 16th street BART station also amazed her. From Sudan, a war ravaged nation, she has seen poverty, but was not expecting so much in the United States.

It seems to me that the SFPD are just focusing drug dealers at 16th/Mission. What’s being done about all the other crimes like bike thefts and break ins the Mission?
Any news on the triple shooting one block from the police station a couple weeks ago ?
