The San Francisco County government meeting on July 4, 2025, focused on the current status and future plans for community safety services previously provided by SF Safe. The discussion highlighted the suspension of SF Safe's operations and the need for alternative solutions to support residents and businesses in the community.

During the meeting, officials confirmed that SF Safe has effectively halted its services, which included neighborhood watch programs and safety consultations for businesses and residents. In response to this gap, the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) is working to transition these responsibilities to its Community Engagement Division (CED). The CED is tasked with developing a plan to absorb the functions previously handled by SF Safe, including educational opportunities and community trust-building initiatives.

Officials acknowledged the urgency of the situation, particularly for businesses that have experienced repeated robberies. They emphasized that while a long-term strategy is being formulated, immediate responses are necessary. The SFPD aims to provide safety consultations and security recommendations directly to affected businesses and residents within the next 30 to 60 days.

The meeting underscored the importance of maintaining community safety and trust during this transitional period. As the SFPD seeks to establish direct relationships with the community, it will also explore partnerships with other city departments and community agencies to enhance its outreach and support efforts.
