San Francisco has deployed the National Guard and California Highway Patrol (CHP) to combat drug trafficking and address the growing drug crisis in the city. Despite this measure, drug deals are still happening on the streets. The deployment consists of six CHP officers and 14 National Guardsmen, with the CHP handling traffic to allow beat cops to focus on patrolling and making arrests. However, critics argue that the limited number of officers will have little impact on the drug crisis.
The city has been facing an exodus of retailers due to theft, dwindling tourism, and a high number of overdose deaths. The drug crisis is believed to be fueled by South American cartels, and drug deals occur frequently, even near the federal building.
