SF supervisors want special police units to target property crimes

The San Francisco Chronicle reports:

Infuriated by the steady escalation of burglaries in San Francisco, two supervisors are trying to breathe life into a neighborhood policing idea that Mayor Ed Lee shot down last year.

The ordinance that Supervisors Norman Yee and Hillary Ronen will introduce Tuesday closely resembles an ill-fated measure that Yee sponsored in October. It would have required each of the city’s 10 police stations to devote a special unit to property crimes.
